Procashtips: "The woman is expected to have" is not the same as "the woman chooses to have".
Can't you spot the difference between your interpretation and what it meant?
This is what you said: Okay. I will defer to you. But trust me: these women can have far more children but they choose not to. They should correct the confusion. It is just like the life expectancy. For instance, the reason why many poor countries have very low life expectancy is based on high mortality rate of children. Takeaway the high child mortality and the life expectancy rates shoots up. |

Procashtips: Is this what the article said or you are writing your own article?
Kindly quote the part of the article you're interpreting. The latest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) data reveals a massive geographical gulf in Nigeria's demographics. TFR is the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, and the difference between the Top 10 and Bottom 10 states is staggering. How should state and federal governments adjust their policies on healthcare, infrastructure, and education to plan for these dramatically different population growth rates? Which policy change is most urgent given these numbers? Say it if this data surprised you! Drop your analysis in the comments! 👇 |

njokuuche77: This is really interesting, but it raises some questions for me. When you see figures like $243,000 in virtual coins, you start to wonder how platforms like this actually work behind the scenes. In some cases, similar setups have been used to quietly move funds through inflated transactions, multiple accounts, or crypto-based exchanges.
I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, but it would be good to understand how these gaming platforms track and verify the flow of money. Abi make person help me break am down, make we understand am better? It may not be prudent to launder money through Tiktok because the platform collects a massive chunk of that money. Cryptos might be a better way. Money laundering might grow with this new tax law. Those who want to transact business may prefer cash so that it does not go through the banking system and leave a money trail. |

Procashtips: Comprehension is a huge problem in Nigeria.
What concerns education with the natural capacity for women to birth children based on their demography?
I think the northerners eat more fertility-induced food or even live pro-fertility lifestyle than some of the southern states.
Come to think of it, they have the highest number of natural sex enhancing products than anywhere else in Nigeria. Seems the region specifically plant trees, fruits, vegetables solely for sex and fertility. Fertility rate does not indicate how many children a woman is able to have. Its refers to the number of children she chooses to have. |

Truth234: You don't understand how the forex market works. The BDC operators have been accused of hoarding the greenback and subsequently using their forex allocations to speculate market.
This practice has been blamed as one of the bane of Nigeria's foreign exchange challenges. Hence, why the CBN took that power from them by cutting their supplies. They should go and source for their forex and do whatever they like with it.
People can now approach banks and access forex at the official rate. Since that has been done, is forex not now stable? In a floating exchange rate, the BDC's may not be needed since one knows the real time exchange rate, and it seems one can buy forex from the banks now effortless. A floating exchange rate makes the model obsolete. I prefer the float. Some online stores now even give you the price in Naira. I also suspect, you can now sell fx at a competitive exchange rate now that the official exchange rate and the parallel rates have almost merged. |

Kukutente23: If true expect the black market and official rates to begin to diverge sharply in the coming weeks From the tone of the article, it did not start yesterday. It has been going on for long. When Soludo introduced a flexible exchange rate policy, the BDC's were used to get forex to the end users directly and bypass the banks. It seems with a floating exchange rate regime, things work differently. It does away with the BDC's. The primary use might when the CBN wants to defend the Naira when it comes under pressure and may sell lots of Dollars through the BDC so the currency does not fall. |
Business › Re: FOREX Traders Struggle To Survive As CBN Cuts BDCs Off From Dollar Supply by grandstar(m): 4:52pm On Oct 27, 2025 |
Well, I am not an economist but I suspect selling forex to BDC's goes against the spirit of a floating exchange.
At what rate is the central bank to sell to the BDC's when the exchange rate keeps fluctuating, day after day, and week after week? |

Mandate1: Buhari who sold fuel for 180 or less wrecked the economy, but Tinubu who's selling for over 900 is reforming the economy. May propaganda not finish you oo Oga, There are economic indices used to determine whether a country is doing well or not. So, because petrol was N180, that means the country was doing better. It wasn't. When Tinubu came into office, 97% of government revenue was spent on debt servicing. Buhari had borrowed too much money. A lot of the money borrowed was to fund fuel subsidy. That was why the 3 major presidential candidates said they were going to end it. To understand the severity of the matter, imagine you're earning 1m a month and after servicing your debt, you're left with 30k. By eliminating the fuel subsidy, the government could save money. Buhari was asking the CBN to print money and lend to the federal government. This is very inflationary and was causing the Naira to depreciate sharply. If you want the fuel subsidy back, then be prepared for the Naira to fall to around $1-N4,000 by 2027. That is what you would get. Which one do you prefer- pay N900/litre for petrol anbd the exchange rate is $1-N1600 by 2027, or pay N200/L for petrol and the exchange rate is $1-N4,000? The choice is yours. |

As a corper, I was collecting alawee. Alawee is based on the minimum wage. OBJ increased it 3,500 and later 5,500. It was Jonathan that increased it to 18,000.

I hate it with passion. It's one of the ways to "punish" me.
I had a roommate one time... guess his hobby. yeah ironing . He would ask me to bring clothes for ironing whilst doing his and would iron for hours.
It's from him I understood and learnt that ironing is an "art" and they are technics to it and not just rubbing or running the pressing iron on the fabric.
When he finishes ironing you would be marvelled at the result... I never saw someone iron with so much passion.
I thought it was a weird hobby! Same with my younger brother. He could spend 30 minutes ironing a shirt but the end results would leave you speechless |

penearth: There is a new wave of sweeping away politicians out of African soil. It's a good development. If a system is not favourable reversal is the option. Under military in Nigeria, essential commodities are at the reach of d down trodden but now not even in d reach of middle class. Fuel easy community for development was #18 during Abacha. Now it's #980- uncountable statistical different I doubt petrol was N18 during Abacha's government. Anyway, how much was the minimum wage? Around 1,200. A plate of food then was N30. That 1,200 then could buy you 40 plates of food. Today, a plate of food is N1,000. So, 30 plates of food will be N30,000. Minimum wage today is N70,000. That will buy you 70 plates of food today. That means the minimum wage today is twice that in real terms what it was during Abacha's government. I was a corper when died in office. |
