The real giant of Africa South Africa the most outspoken black nation on earth competing with the whites, no wonder they hate other African countries because they are not ready to grow.

It isn't a South African invention.

Nothing to gloat about here.

Like molestation, it is best you have evidence or you will be termed a witch.

Act as though everything is okay but set a trap for him next time. Perhaps install discreet CCTV camera.

Wait for like 6 months or a year.

What questions have you invented that I did not ask in my comment that you quoted to reply?

Is that how Canadians deflect accountability reminders of their leaders so that Nigerians like you can flee there to work for their country to be even better than ours?

Meanwhile I hope that your Canada relocation business is going well.

Nigeria isn't Canada.

I don't even understand what you wrote.

I have known about the one-drop rule for years.

A lot of the American slaves that were brought over to Liberia were practically white. However, because of the one-drop, they were slaves as a perent (usually the mother), was a slave.

Na so o.

If Tinubu can't crash it to N40 that APC promised when PDP's Jonathan was in government, or even the N70 that they said we should be paying in 2015, this N100 is not a bad idea .

Let him just fulfil his promise of crashing petrol price instead of doing the opposite since May 2015.

Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC

January 19, 2015

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.

On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.

But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.

It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.

You'd have a better chance of a woman at 90year giving birth to 3 sets of quintuplets with a year, than for the price of petrol to reduce to N40/Litre.

What you have said is no better than what a woman selling tomato would say. That is where the disappointment lies.

A litre of crude oil is at N600/litre. How then will he sell petrol at N40/litre.

The answers to your own questions is right in front of you if you chose to examine things for yourself.

Let the product be affordable and accessible to Nigerians

This is the entitlement mentality that bankrupted the economy. A lot of the debt the country presently owes has its foundation in subsidized petrol.

It is not a charity Dangote is running. He will try and maximise profit. That is why competition is necessary to prevent him from becoming a monopoly and charging whatever he wants..

The best the government can do is to allow competition. This will checkmate him. That is how the free market works.

You're free to sell your land at the cheapest prices to people. That can be your choice.

The 25% company tax rate is quite high, considering there's also a withholding tax of 10% on dividends. That means a total tax of 32.5% in the event if none of the profits are reinvested.

And obi maybe lucky that Atiku may kpai on the seat ..

I did not say that o! I did not say anything like that o!

My guy, you got it all wrong.

Amaechi can never win the presidency. Obi can never win the presidency. Obi can only win by graduating as the VP to Atiku to president.

Obi even has age on his side. Atiku is old.

A 2 week ultimately is simply too short.

The motive behind the revocation is the real issue. He might have become vindictive after being humiliated by the young army officer. Wike became the butt of jokes.

Tinubu should Wike him in.

Get a blackboard.

Go and meet estate agents in your vicinity. Get a list of properties for rental from them. Request a sample of a "a registration form "

On the blackboard write "For Rent"

Write as many properties as possible but it should be visible and add your phone number. Phone number is super important. If you have 2 numbers, better. Self-contained, miniflats and 2 bedrooms are hot cake.

Find spots that have a lot of foot traffic. Ask for permission from a shop or office to place your blackboard in front of.. You will get a spot if you are determined to find a spot. Find a spot not far off from where you live.

Once people call you, meet up with your potential client. You could ask for a registration fee. I think some charge as high as 15k. You could even charge them 5k, or nothing.

As a beginner, the choice is yours.

Take your client for inspection. You will learn on the job if you're serious

You can source and advertise on jijii.ng, Nairaland, nigeriapropertycentre.com. NL may not give you much traffic. Paid adverts is usually the best.

You will learn on the job! Within a year, you'll be a guru.

Bye!

The Sudanese civil war flourishes because not enough eyes are on it.

The real problem is the involvement of the Emiratis in it which gives them access to gold. Dubai is a gold trading hub.

The figure isn't true.

I doubt the FG spends up to 1% of that sum on pipeline protection.

DomPerignon:
The Ethiopian Jews whom are referred to as Beta or lesser Jews have it even far worse.

Their babies are stolen at birth never to be seen again with hospital staff claiming the babies died.

Their women are sterilized without their consent .

Ethiopian Jews are not even welcome back to Ethiopia as they colluded with the Marxists revolutionaries who murdered the only surviving heir to King David .

Apart from being the earliest and longest ruling Christian dynasty , Emperor Haile Selassie I was the only true living legitimate heir to the throne of David.

The Ashkenazi won't have any of that so thy had his empire destroyed and his reign ended .

They know that as Haile Selassie I and his descendants were alive, any future king of israel can only come from that lineage


Instead they will roll out a Rothschild as king of israel.

Things may be bad for Ethiopian Jews but I doubt they will be that bad!

Somethings you have said might have been the reality years back but things have improved!

The Ethiopian Jews aren't in a rush to go back to Ethiopia.

Things will get better for the black Jews. Second and third generation are more likely to be better integrated than their parents or grandparents are. Many of these kids can't even converse with their grandparents. Acceptance will eventually growing.

One won Miss Israel. Another was celebrated for resisting the October 7, 2023 attack.

Haile Selassie, whether descended from King David or not, could never have become king in Jerusalem. The simple reason is that he is a Christian. That is taboo in Israel. Israel is also a Republic.

More importantly, with advanced DNA available, tracking Jews with closer ties to the Davidic line would be much easier.

I have never been a fan of conspiracy theories.

I just dislike the army, all armies.

This is fuelled by my beliefs.

NewLife14:
I came across this beautiful post about the above topic here https://www.nairaland.com/8571178/someone-earning-100k-naira-should
In the comments, many great minded Nairalanders argued for and against "Marrying with a 100K income" from many perspectives.

This post is all about putting the theories in figures. STAY TUNED .

Now the man (From a supportive family) earns 100K and decides to Marry. That is #1,200,000 per annum (1.2M).
His expected expenditure should look like this:
➡️Cost of wedding =Free (Family Sponsors).
➡️ House rent =Free (Has 2 rooms in his family house).
➡️ Electricity Bill (2K a month X 1 year) = #24,000.
➡️Feeding with wife and kid/s (At least 2K a day X 1 year)= #730,000.
➡️Clothing =Nil (He doesn't change clothes ).
➡️Wife Expenditure = Nil (Her parents supports her and fends for her in his house )
➡️Baby Diapers = Nil (Baby wears Napkin).
➡️ Water (Sachet water and others) =Free.
➡️Baby Food and Groceries (Milk, etc, 5K per month X 1 year) =#60,000.
➡️Transportation to work (500 Naira per day X at least 270 days a year) =#135,000.
➡️Recharge card and Data for our man and wife (#200 a day x 1 year) = #73,000.

TOTAL SO FAR =#1,022,000 (1M, 22K)
Our man will be left with #178,000 (178K) at the end of the year in review.

⚠️You will observe that I was extremely prudent in the expenditure, in the hope that both his family and the wife's family support the marriage which is most times unlikely; what applies is that you the man is the one supporting them instead.

⚠️ I only added basic RECURRENT costs and didn't account for emergencies like Healthcare, or even miscellaneous. I also obviously avoided school fees, baby wears, etc.

❓Can you marry with 100K income? YES & NO!

You can if you already have a room in your parents house, your family and her family is supportive financially and otherwise, you like stress and you are comfortable with your current financial status (as marrying at this stage will give you little room for financial improvement and growth)

But if you desire to grow financially, break the chain of poverty, value your peace of mind, want to give your family the best and live in a city where you pay for rent and other things, then it'll be a suicide mission to marry with a 100K income.

My 2 cents

As I said in my reply in that post, determination is the key.

When my first cousin married his wife, he was a penniless pastor and the wife was a corper. He spent the next 14 years in my dad's house rent free.

It was only about 7 years after the marraige did things pick up for him. He became an estate agent, one focused on selling land belonging to families like at Magboro, Arepo, Ofada and other areas.

So, where the will exist, 100k will be enough. He might even prefer to walk to work to save cost.

Her brother served his time and was released. He came back into civilian life, drank like a fish and likely rode in secondhand cars. Now, the inevitable has happened. What does she want us to do? I will take his experience as a cautionary tale.

That is why one needs to listen to the other side.

Many soldiers are suffering from PTSD and I am certain it is ignored by the military. This being Nigeria, you can be certain his family does not realize he suffers from it. Even if he explains it to them, he might as well be talking to a wall.

Wish one be 'honour killing' again

Who are they honouring abeg.

It's like once you join that religion your common sense disappears.

But then, there are Muslims in my region - the SW and even in my family who have no traces of that kind of behaviours.

It then makes me wonder if it has to do with religion or characters/natures

The Yoruba Muslim who kills his child brcause of honor will be handed over to the police by the family, if not lynched..

There is an agbaya in everyone of us.

How is this dogo turenchi an answer to the question that I asked, which I am repeating below? ⬇️👇🏾

Listen: The money in the foreign reserves does not exactly belong to the government.

It is a mistake many like you are making.

What the government is borrowing money is already stated in the article. Go and read it again.

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh.

The Sephardic are seen as the lower caste and are those who were suffering in the Middle East before the Europeans came to form the occupation in Palestine.

They live like the Arabs who are their benefactors but today they are forming superiority and now about to start forming Europeans some years from now. Smh

I appreciate what you wrote.

It isn't right that Ashkenazi Jews treat them as second class citizens. Their influx into Israel was instrumental to what the nation is today.

Why only Sephardic Jews? What about Ashkenazi Jews or the Ethiopian?

There are basically to type of Jews:

1. The Ashkenazi Jews

These are Jews that came from principally Europe. They were the ones that founded the Isarel. They were the ones that invaded in 1948 and founded the Nation of Israel by kicking out most of the Palestinians they met to the West Bank or Gaza strip and other outsides. Some Palestinians remained.

2. The Sephardic Jews

These are Jews primarily from Asia. Many can trace back their ancerstry to the time of Babylon. They were found all over the Arab and Muslim world. Many were kicked out of these Muslim Arab countries after the invasion of Palestine. Yemen kicked out between June 1949 and September 1950, over 50,000 Jews. They arrived in Isreal wuth nothing. They were basically refugees without homes.

Sephardic Jews are treated as second class citizens.

3. Ethiopian Jews.

These are from Ethiopia. They are darkskinned and descended largely from Non-Jews who converted to Judaism. We know of the case of the Ethiopian eunuch who was a Jew but was converted to Christianity.

Why does Portugal only want to assist Sephardic Jews and shut out the rest?

Is that What the Purpose of the Loan for Or
Just your Wild Imagination.?
Besides, Before A Loan Facilities of Such Magnitude ( Dollarised Loan Facilities) Can Be Approved- Intercontinental Wise,There Are Rules and Nigeria Positions of Repaying Such Facilities Must Be Clear and Straight!
What NIGERIANS wants to know is:
• Would These Dollars Loan Facilities Be Used For It's Stated Purpose?
• Who Will Constantly Check On Govt-to know that These Loans Facilities,will Not Be Diverted Somewhere Else?
• When do We( Nigeria) Get Feedbacks Of The Success of These Facilities?
• Which Depts( CBN and Who) - Will Be Directly In Charge of this Dollar Loan Facilities -
-to Monitor from time to time that it achieved the Real Objective and Corruption is not swept it away?
-For example - during Past Govt- till today Dollars Loans - Collected For NEPA/ DISCOS went into Voicemail in Nigeria!
• Who Are The People- that Will Be Accountable For The Success of the Implementation of the loans to achieve what the Original Purpose is meant For?

These are educated questions, and not the usual shallow responses of many here.

So why is APC’s Tinubu borrowing dollars from everyone in spite of what you wrote above?

Do you think that he is stealing the money to buy votes and make himself life president like Biya in Cameroon

The money in the foreign reserves does not belong to the Federal Government. It is more like running capital the central bank uses for backing the local currency, for international trade and other expenses.

There was an incident that happened in 2010 in Argentina. Please search: "Argentine central bank head fight to prevent the government using the foreign reserves"

CodeTemplarr:
Borrowing to defend the Naira. Currencies are defended by local production and export but in our case, local production is in ICU and we are importing to keep up.

There's enough in the foreign reserves to cover at least 8 months worth of import. 4 months is the minimum. The government has more than enough in the foreign reserves.

In addition, at the present exchange rate, the Niara is quite weak. A weak currency reduces the demand for imports as it makes it dearer, while it makes locally produced cheaper, as they are now more competitive..

The government has zero need to borrow dollars to defend the Naira. The Naira flotation has already done justice to that.

In additon, Nigeria's non-oil exports are growing. Search: Are Nigeria's non-oil exports growing?
