What do Nigerians get from a 30%?

A more stable Naira. With more money in the federal government, there'll be no need to turn to ways and means to finance spending.
.If the exchange rate remains at between 1,400-1,600 to the dollar over the next decade, that would be fantastic.

The elephant in the room today are low crude oil prices and the country low crude oil production which will create big holes in the budget.

That's where that 30% will come in. I wonder If it will be enough.

Bakrabas:
It's not world war it's European and the US affairs

You forgot China. It has its eye on Taiwan.

The US coup in Venezuela would wet its appetite to grab Taiwan.

Taiwan, however, won't be a walkover.

China is also Russia's greatest ally, supplying it with weapons and economic support, with its war on Ukraine.

Don't forget that north Korea sent 5,000 of its troops to fight for Russia.

Could all these eventually be the start of World War 3?

Hellen Keller can't hear nor see. So how was the question relay to her

Very very very intelligent question! I love it!

You sign into their hands.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
Are you not aware that some northern state governments conduct mass marriages for young Muslims?

Gifting them cash, mats and stove to go start a miserable family life.

Even if you want to raise awareness for family planning, these states who need the numbers for political reasons will selfishly kick against it.

Forget that story: where there's the will, there's a way.

Just place passionate and competent technocrats in place.

illicit:
Wait, how do you ask someone who is blind and deaf a question...?

Fantastic question!

You sign into their hands.

You must read her book. It's in public domain: "The Story of My Life." Helen Keller.

She probably suffered from measlea at 18months, leaving her with that handicap.

Because she was incommunicado, she became frustrated, and was always having tantrums. Her empathic parents felt so sorry for her that they rarely punished. She became somewhat spoilt and entitled.

They kept searching for a way she could communicate with them and others.

When she was around 7, they heard of a new means to communicate with the deafblind. They were excited and requested for a teacher.

Go read the book

Eddodoh:
This lady must be sick to think that I will marry her. We were good B4 I traveled out of the city. Good vibes, nice time and all that.
She showed me love and everything but deep down, I know that I won't marry her.

There was a time I felt like taking the relationship serious but the fact that she have two kids and a single mother, discourages me. Also, I know the father of her kids. They lived together B4 she ended things with him. Another reason is that my friends won't support the relationship cos I even hide the affair with her from them.

While I was out of town, I got to know that she got entangled with one of my friends. When I bursted her by letting her know that I am aware of her affair with my friend. She denied initially but bcuz my friend's real babe that told me about them was giving me every detail about them. So, she later admitted that they were dating.


Recently, she has being calling and apologizing that she was confused and that my absence at that time made her fell into the affair. She left the town last year to Delta state where she worked and have moved to Lagos (currently work at the Island) where I also reside at the moment with the hope of meeting me.

She has being calling and arranging for a meet up. She even has the guts to ask me about my plans towards marrying her.
I just told her that until we see. I am thinking of telling her to move on with her life but I feel I should not tell her instead, keep her to use to cure konji.

What do u guys think about it? Your opinion is welcome.

I can forgive the single mother of two.

But that previously lived together with the father of her two kids, and chose to living with you is a huge no. She should have totally rejected that kind of life after the experience

Worse, the flirts with your friend while you're in a relationship with her is just over the top.

She has no moral compass. It's this type of woman that give others a bad name.

When Helen Keller, a deafblind (they neither see nor hear) was asked what would she do if she was given eyesight for 3 days, she said she would love to "greet the dawn."

For many of us, we would hiss when we know it is dawn. For most us, it means we must get ready for work. For the kids, its time to prepare for school.

We take our eyesight for granted.

nairalanda1:
So, why are they clashing.

IN 1991, our population was just 88.9 million people

Today...it's anywhere from 160-230 million people.

And even back in 1991, we had land clashes. Now imagine how it is today...

We have a growing population with the land not growing at all. And one of the ways it manifests is in issues like these.

That's the blunt truth.

Worse, the government has done nothing about the population explosion surge. No large scale family planning awareness campaign since 1999. None whatsoever.

There are no jobs for the surplus labor for those leaving the rural areas to the cities.

I kinow some people have alreasy concluded that's it's a Muslim vs Christian clash.

It is actually Christan vs Christian.

What is the difference between Adamawa and Taraba state which were carved out from the former Gongola state?

Adamawa is majority Christian while Taraba is majority Christian.

lezz:
That's why she's a discarded baby mama. She's given to blackmail, and disloyalty using social media for emotional maneuver and blackmail.

I believe she has family members who are in contact with the cubanna (who's a dopey anyways) or may even have his personal number but she opted for social media because he's a known person and also for her personal clout.

That's what many people do when dealing with so-called celebrities

To neglect a child is a serious issue, celebrity or not (Read 1 Timothy 5:8

If he doubts paternity, he should take a paternity test.

He claims to be a money bag but can't expend $200 a month on a kid that's his? If true, it is a disgrace.

The pay is quite good.

It is best you don't stay in London where the rents are high.

This Kolu guy no fine at all.

See him bleached hands.

The choose is left to the baby mama.

She's just de play. She dey catch cruise

SpaceX:
All bark and no bite, no militia is capable of challenging Trump.

That's what they said in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Guerilla wars are the hardest to win. The person who shared coffee with you is the same person trying to gun you down at night.

The US has already lost the war. The rise of militias is a sign of that .

owobokiri:
They have started as usual with their negative propaganda. It is a predictable template; defame a geoup/party/region and then use soldiers and the Police to destroy the source of their income. You tell yourself so much lies in a lifetime that at a point you start believing your own lies. They have always wanted to trend a warped narrative that South Eastern businesses thrive based on fake products. They used to say it was juju. That lie didn't fly long enough, so the new one...
When you can't compete, you would want to do damage to the intergrity of the guy who out-competed you..

So they went to Onitsha and closed the whole medicine market for most of last year! Unannounced! Both the innocent and the guilty were all lumped into one place and summarily punished without remorse. Families were left stranded. Bread winners were left with no work for months. Instead of identifying those who did wrong, a blanket attack on the whole stalls and warehouses in the market that runs into thousands shops with teilkion naira worth of goods, was orchestrated with the help of the security agencies. Shops were looted, unconstitutional fines imposed and lives wrecked. It took the coming of VDM to open their nyaansh. In the end, we didn't see them destroy the trillions naira worth of medicines they seized. The whole seized products went into thin air..

Having been very successful with that test run, they have started towards Alaba market. They have always wanted to unravel that very Alaba market, but since medical or food products were not sold there, finding "terrifying" excuses to invade have been very tortuous. They waited a long time without finding aa good excuse to attack.. So they threw a hail Mary with one propaganda video of fake TVs being repackaged. Within hours, the Lagos government that has been practically aloof to her duties in many sectors, started yapping rudderlesly. Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) who gave the certifications for all imports started barking. They even got LG to start talking, yet no investigations have been made!

You need no one to tell you what this is all about.
It is a prelude to invade Alaba international market with touts and to vandalise the place the same way they did at Onitsha Drugs/Medicines market. In few days, you will hear that a contingent of the military, the police, the civil defence and Co, have been drawn to the market to seal it off, so that the government will investigate reported cases of fake products in the market. That will most probably last for months as the Lagos media is unleashed to saturate the whole place with negative articles about bad business activities in the market.... All these while corruption and fakery thrive in other areas, including the areas they dominate. Same way they were carting away trucks of medicines at Onitsha while their agbo sellers were busy wrecking kidneys..

We have been here before. We know what is going on. It is called "economic terrorism". We are witnessing a situation where the states coercive instruments are being used to fight sectional battles. This country is a mess in terms of her abilities to maintain standards in every sector. So there is nothing bad in fighting to upgrade and uphold greater standards across board! What is wrong though is when a vindictive/sectional party in power, out of ethnic animosity, unleashes a well choreographed sectional "fight" against corruption/fake products/criminal behaviour in the country, with the ultimate goal of destabilising other ethnic/regional/religious or interest groups. That is a tribal attack being decorated as a national fight right there..

That is not how you build a country.., That is how you destroy a country..

But the governor of Anambra was in support of the closure of parts of Onitsha.

IamAsiri:
You should be o.

Always learn to read properly. For your mind, you believed you saw what others didn't .

So, what's the big deal?

I browsed it on my phone. I couldn't see what was printed on the check.

mascot87:
Go get some quality education

Why?

It's Jamaican dollars and not US Dollars.

One Jamaican dollar to Naira is 9.23.

I'm not upset at all

*Edit:* I made a mistake. The cheque says US Dollars.

I'm browsing from my phone. What was written on the cheque wasn't that visible.

writeprof:
Something else may be responsible for what was happening to his daughters. Hope he didn't offend anybody in the village

I'm not the superstitious type.

They were just unfortunate.

The first one that got pregnant married the man who did so.

She died during the childbirth of either her third or fourth child. Her death devastated her mum (my grandma) and she died within a year from grief. My dad was around 15 at the time. A mama's boy.

I never met her.

The younger sister of the one that died had fertility issues. My dad wanted to pay for an operation that would rectify the problem.

Her father threatened to deal with my dad should anything happen to her during the surgery.

My dad washed his hands off. She must be around 70 now. No child

That money is chicken feed.

It's about 13.5m in Naira.

Edit: I initially thought it was Jamaican Dollars but it is actually the US greenback.

That's over N2bn.

emmy512:
Cross river?

Ondo state.

Esthered:
The kind of trauma the 13 years old child would grow with.....

Why didn't either party leave? Now he left to hide and she left as a carcass.

I hope her family gets justice.

It is best to pull out of an abusive marriage

I am apolitical.

I just see Peter Obi being humble. I doff my hat.

God hates pride.

richiemcgold:
Going through a laser is not a genuine way to please Jesus. Genuine faith lies in the heart.

According to Samuel 16:7 - - "For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart".

The Bible says we should not be fashioned after these system of things or the way of this world.(Read Romans 12:2)

His tattoos are a turnoff.

Before you say :Jack Robinson," that neighbourhood will turn into a ghetto.

A little leaven ferments the whole.

Extremely deluded people.

Jews are largely defined by religion and culture and by race.

These so called Igbo Jews never practiced any Jewish ceremonies for thousands of years but claim they are Jews?

Pure delusions of grandeur.

My granddad who was a cocoa farmer sent a daughter of his to school, and she got pregnant.

He swore never to send another daughter to school and he kept to his word for decades.

Eventually, he relented like any good dad would and sent another of his daughters to school. She too got pregnant.

Such is life!

I am in full support of female education.

Because of 80k, you're no more.

I'm not victim blaming.

This is inexcusable.

So sorry about your loss.

I am no fan of traditional religion.

However, one should respect their space. Using violence to intimidate her is unscriptural.

Those using those means are from the Devil. No where did the Christ or his disciples use tyranny to propagate the word or force conversions.

omohayek:
The very reason why those "kleptomaniacs" are unaccountable is because they haven't had to rely on taxpayers to hold them accountable. It's easy to overlook corruption when the funds being looted seem to appear out of nowhere, instead of coming from your own pocket. There is no country in the world where a government is accountable to a citizenry it does not tax.

TLDR: The "they will only steal the money" line is just a tired excuse for wanting something for nothing. Nigerians need to grow out of the entitlement mentality borne of the "oil boom" of the 1970s.

.......And that's also why those oil rich Gulf states refuse to tax their citizens: they don't want them to have a voice.

The way those monarchies earn their legitimacy is by either not taxing their citizens at all or taxing them very little. The other is by indulging their citizens.
