Peterobiisathie:In some countries, the time you have been in detention is counted. Even in Nigeria, in some cases, that is put into consideration. Let's have some mercy. |
If he was arrested in 2012, why is he just being sentenced? This is 13 years after. He should be freed as he has done over 10 years in prison already. |
Talkisneeded:She got police to arrest him, accusing him of being a scammer aka 419. That's a brutal dent on his reputation. That's damn too expensive for a skit. |
jaszplus12:All she needed to do was to beg the bobo that he shouldn't be angry. Though I felt he should have knelt down for her, but considering all he has done for her, she should have been matured enough to accept the proposal anyway it went. I mean, the car he gave her is grander than his own. That shop will also be bringing in some good kishi for her. He should let her go. She is bad market. |
Israelis need to understand that thousands of Palestinians are being killed, the vast majority are unarmed civilians. They are humans too like the hostages. What is good for the goose, is good for the gander. |
The girl is overdranatic. Making a mountain out of a molehill. |
The man is economic iilliterate. The country needs to increase revenue as much as policy. That is the best absorber against another crash. |
VDM don arrive again with hin wahala. Poor Blessing! ![]() |
I wonder if this is his gay son. |
kettykin:Or if his killers had faced justice, all this could have been prevented. |
LagosOrigin:Boss, Tinubu inherited a bankrupt economy. 97% of government revenue was going towards debt servicing. Imagine your salary was 1m, and after servicing debt, you have 30,000 left. Buharis government was now dependent on CBN printing money to lend to it. The foreign reserves were empty. The net foreign reserves, which is actually forex the central bank has access to, had only $4bn. This cannot even cover one month of imports, while the minimum it should have is 4 months import cover. Meanwhile, it was owing buyers of forex $7bn. The forex scarcity was so bad that some multinationals like Shoprite and GSK left the country. Airlines that were owed forex like the Emirates suspended operations. Tinubu had no option but to undergo radical reforms. First, he ended petrol subsidies. That stopped rhe FG from borrowing huge amounts of money to finance the subsidy. A lot of the debts borrowed during Buharis Tenure was to pay for this subsidy. That's why all the 3 major presidential candidates said they were ending the petrol subsidies. Next, he floated the Naira. Why was the foreign reserves empty? It was because forex was sold below its true market When floated, the Naira swiftly fell to around $1- N1,600 Tinubu was hoping the Naira would be around N700-900 but the market resisted it. The question now is- are the reforms working? The FG is now spending less than 50% of revenue on debt servicing. The net foreign reserves had grown to $41bn. The country's credit score was upgraded. That was why Charles Soludo and Okonjo-Iweala said the economy was stabilising. Do I like all Tinubu's policies? No. I think he is borrowing money for many unnecessary projects. Nevertheless, the reforms were necessary and I give him kudos for it. |
The6thAustralia:She must have been doing 20 hour plus before her dad died. My younger sister finished with a first class. My older brother has some really rich friends who could give her a juicy job. She refused. She preferred to travel for her masters. If she starts suffering now in the UK dye yo lack of funds, she'd start whining. |
I don't know ow whether I should feel sorry for her. Overseas education no be do or die affair. That is the koko. There are so many underfunded students in rhe UK and elsewhere. If you advise them not to travel, they won't listen. A year's tuition for their education could easily set up a flourishing business in Nigeria. |
2cribz:Imagine a poor man asking Dangote what business can he go into and Dangote advises him to set up a cement plant, would you say that was realistic? The man here is asking a question for himself and not for me or you. I was in the UK for holiday in 2014 and 2020 for holiday. I came back 2 days before the British lockdown was to commence. Pastor Adefarasin was on the same flight. I live in Akute, Ogun. Yes, it isn't in Ikeja where my dad's house, but I am okay with. I don't want to have stress paying my rent. It's a 3 bedroom flat. Phone charging is N200 per phone. He also charges power banks for 200. My bigger powerbank was 300. We've no had power for 2 weeks due to a major fault. My generator packed up due to stress buit I have fixed it and it is presently on. There are days the guy I charge with has no space for any new phones. I have no interest in going into the business. Just giving someone advice. |
MadHeadLeft2:He wasn't wise. Imagine using a PayPal account? Crypto wallet would have been better. |
Pele. Kumuyi failed to apply the counsel found in Collosians 4:6. |
HawkTuahGirl:It's what I have been using for the past 3 years hassle free. Since the floating of the Naira, there's very little difference now between the official and black market rate. |
delugadou:And don't be surprised that once in a while, an olosho may dash him some sex. It's a very immoral environmental. The lure to cheat will be very strong |
Valkingtheboss Get a Providus Bank Naira card. It's very good. It even works with PayPal. All you need to do is open a Providus Bank account. Purchases are limited to $1,000 per month. If you want unlimited purchaez, you go for their dollar card. |
Transport cost from the Island using the 3rd Mainland bride to Ikeja then was N4. I think it's 1,200 today. |
Rebuke:It could have been an act of sabotage. That can't be ruled out. |
Just 3 days to her retirement! What a shame. As I keep saying, no one can predict tomorrow. This is an unknown unknown |
That's a very juicy salary! That would be around £100,000 after tax. |
That's the principled thing to do. Kudos to him. I hope their benefits are paid to their families on time. |
Fourtygees:This did not happen in Nigeria. It happened in Niger Republlic. |
LagosOrigin:Dangote said the truth. It is a white elephant project. There's even a glut of steel in the global market. Nigeria would better off importing steel than producing it locally. |
Will Trump be around by then? Rumor has it that he has a heart problem and may nor have long to live. There are worries he has less than a year left. These fake prophets and their prophecies! Does Trump even give a damn about Nigeria in the first place?. |
If the bandits want peace, it seems they have seen the handwriting on the wall. |
Gerrard59:The Chinese generally pay low wages and that might be the root of the resentment. They may also be edging out local businesses. |
I feel sorry for her. Men by nature are not home keepers. Yes, I do admit they must do some work in the house but don't expect equality when it comes to house work. Both still have separate roles to play, roles which complement each other. That's why a wife tries to monopolise the kitchen, and not a man. If a man tries to control the kitchen, it can bring about serious disagreement |
