Codemaniacs here is a video of Oprah dispelling the rumours herself.

I hope you will now be able to differentiate fact from my opinion

codemaniacs:
you are entitled to your opinion...

It is not an "opinion". Oprah herself dispelled the rumours.

Just admit you are wrong and move on. It is okay to be wrong

codemaniacs:
It's not a rumour.

He said to Oprah on her show * I didn't make my clothes for blacks " then Oprah removed the TH sweater she wore and stopped that episode.

"While it’s true that Tommy Hilfiger did appear on The Oprah Winfrey Show, it only occurred after the controversy had started when Winfrey opened her May 2, 2007 program by directly addressing it.

“Tommy, in the 21 years that we’ve been on the air, have you ever been on the show?,” Winfrey asked Hilfiger. “Unfortunately, not,” he says back with a sheepish grin on his face.

As Winfrey and Hilfiger dove deeper into the pervasive rumor that had followed him for more than a decade, he admitted, “It’s contrary to what my business motive was at the beginning. I wanted to sell a lot of clothes to a lot of people.”

“Big fat lie,” Winfrey barked out to her audience. “It’s a big, fat lie!”

mytime24:
I thought d owner of Tommy Hilfigers is a racist, he said his brands are not made for blacks,

Na wetin i here oooo

It is an old rumour and Oprah had to invite Tommy to her show to dispel it.

However I think Wizkid should start his own clothing brand. He has the fab base to make it a success.

I'd definitely rock a Wizzy shirt

Crossroad1:
Who notice that Righteousness2 doesn't comment on Sundays?
Let's assume he went to church and maybe had meetings and all but I believe by evenings, he should help trash some topics here and I noticed whenever a topic that has strong points and will bring arguments, he avoids them..

Lol.

Obviously he cannot defend the nonsense he keeps portraying

Another 250kg to go

Foreigna2:
Post your account details here let Ahib transfer some of his kidnapping and banditry money to you.

Hahaha. I no wan see myself for panti o

Silly dude. He sure knows how to piss people off

SeaTrade:
This is all you have to do na bros.
Nothing to make you reveal your identity here by doing ordinary this.

All of you bragging should calm down.

I have a solution.

Whoever can transfer the highest money into my account wins

Oya make una gather unaself make I drop the account. Una gree?

HellVictorinho:
Who says the government doesn't know what it's doing?


They know what they are doing



They are making it worse everyday

Exactly. They are perfectly okay knowing things are getting worse as long as their kids school on the UK and they can fly there anything they feel pain in their ears

saphiere:
What is your point exactly? That this man did not commit the crime? I'm in Port Harcourt o. Don't force me to go to this compound and make a confessional video and post it here o.

Go there. I dare you

SeaTrade:
-To actually help that country's manufacturing sector and industry grow.No one wants its country to be a dumping ground for finished products from other places,especially in 3rd world countries that really need industries to grow.
-Limiting it is because they don’t even have that much dollar to begin with and also Nigeria debt in dollars is very huge right now,so no room for unnecessary dollar expenses.
-Seme border closure was for same reason as my first point,grow local industry.
That place is used to smuggle all sorts of things into Nigeria,with Nigeria making almost zero revenue from it.
You can't pay Duty in Cotonou and not pay anything to Nigeria,no Country will let you do that.

How can the local industry grow when there are is no constant electricity and manufacturers have to rely on diesel generators to generate electricity for themselves?

How can the local industry grow when there are no good roads to transport the finished goods from the factory to the end user?

How can the local industry grow when you have to bribe police and agbero at every checkpoint before you get to your location?

How can the local industry grow when you have to bribe your way through every necessary process?

How can the local industry grown when it is cheaper to import than manufacture finished products?

There are more internal issues that need to be resolved first before you can expect any growth in the local industry. Banning and limiting is basically putting the cart before the horse.

SeaTrade:
I understand what you mean which is quite fantastic,
But also note that not everyone is eligible of fx from CBN.(Forex ban list and so on...),so how will you differentiate those who are and those who aren't on remita?can it be done?
Yes,I know you wanna merge street rates with that of official to eliminate round tripping,but know that the moment you increase your rate as a regulatory body,street rates go up again because you are the benchmark.So this is an endless process till the currency becomes less valuable than the paper its printed on.
You think this depreciation is by people hoarding dollar?
Well could be,aboki would just be preying on their gullibility and desperation by selling at unrealistic rates while the rest of the country suffer for that.

The major goofs I can point too are:

- The forex ban list: Why ban importation in a country whose infrastructure cannot sustain industries for manufacturing?
- Limiting monthly dollar transactions to $100/month: This just created an artificial scarcity
- The Ceme border ban: This increased the price of basic Foodstuff and cars for no reason

These guys obviously don't know what they are doing

blessochampion:
May we not live in an Unfortunate country.

Like Nigeria abi?

Flossq:
You dumb as Bleep. Naira to dollar rate is 410. Stop letting this bdc fool you

We were promised N1

Saifullah01:
A superstitious credulous stock we are

It is really embarrassing.

No prior knowledge of the situation.
No medical examination performed.
No investigation carried out.

Nothing but confident assumptions based on arrogant ignorance.

What a people!

JimmyDarmody:
it is not easy to celebrate the success of another seeing you can hardly survive the next day in this economy. The jealousy in the atmosphere of Nigeria is so dense that even the president would not want you to do whatever his child cannot do If he had his way.

Trust me Nigerians are super talented and intelligent people but in this atmosphere they will never even realize it in the first place. I recall countless times I tried to sing to the hearing of my friends and they began to say things like you should just rap, you can't do afro beats. Like that's thesame me that the producer said I will be a big name with dedication.

Bro I swear it is way too dense o. I had to learn the hard way.

Many people will rather bring you down that help push you to the top.

And to think that this happens despite all the prayers and crap is mind blowing

Offpoint1:
They slept and ruined our present

They couldn't do anything about because if you voiced out you ended up either dead or missing or both

tensazangetsu20:
Just close your eyes and imagine 2023 and beyond.

2023 and beyond in Canada or anywhere far away from Nigeria

Genesiszero:
plus exploring other part of our economy. for naija, power supply which is important for tech is second to zero here.

tech budgeting na zero........if not technology can be used to combat most of our national problems ranging from health, security, education, businesses etch......just like other part of the world that has made life easy with technology and innovations........ na only oyel.....

The environment does not support development bro.

Allow people learn html, css, javascript first so they can least put food on the table and work out how to travel out of the country.

The stress here is way too much

tensazangetsu20:
I went to buy today and was so shocked. Little wonder all the akara vendors around me have closed up shop. I just cant imagine how the low income earners in Nigeria are surviving. Na him person go see all this one dey do AI. . Derica between. It was 450 a month ago.

No imagine am o. The sakpa is real for us

I remember when I an wifey could cook stew and soup with N1,000.

N1,000 now can't buy sh1t.

Naija 2021 is on fire

stabilizer:



If you read this writeup from the beginning to the end and you no Smile....you are obviously rich for now

Bro no joy to smile o

tensazangetsu20:
Internet no dey sef. Very good internet from IPNX is 200k a month, a junior dev salary. Beans is 700 naira for a cup. Beans o.

A cup abi derica?

The country is getting harder every day man

tensazangetsu20:
If poverty in Nigeria is fixed, people will do all this. Vietnam already has branches of popular game companies. A large amount of indian devs were part of the team that made dishonoured become human. Poverty needs to die in Nigeria first and people will code the moon.

For real.

To hustle to buy fuel and then put on your gen to code is not exactly motivating

Ikwerelastborn:
Anywhere I see your comment the next thing that comes to my mind is Atheist

Lol. At least something comes to mind

mariahAngel:
If you reason am, na guguru dey healthier pass sha

Lol. Indeed

mariahAngel:
Of course, I did.
You want make guguru dey fly everywhere like fireworks?
The corns didn’t fully burst sha. E go be say the oil no reach.

Last time we tried na guguru sef come out. My comment was based on some YouTube videos I saw.

I concluded the problem was wifey didn't cover the pot so I guess we are royally bleeped

I'll go and watch the video again

mariahAngel:
The first and only time I tried it, it was more of guguru than popcorn.

Maybe I didn’t use much oil...

You must make sure you cover the pot

When you are a rich man don't bother looking for love because it is already too late.

Just bang and dump or get a baby mama and pay child support and imagine you hired a nanny to take care of the child.

Yusluv13:
This is even better. A gang of 4 decided to have a football academy in one of the best estates in mainland (Lagos). We write letter to the chairman Association and we booked appointment for the following week. They asked us of goals and vision. After the meeting, the following 3 or 5th weeks as I passed through the field I saw children playing football there with a customized jersey. Emerging, they stole our brain and seized the opportunity. This is Nigerian!!!

Imagine*

Na our way. That's why there's no point sharing ideas with all these so called "big men".

Just a bunch of old folks with stolen money.

Trust me they will not be able to sustain the idea.just watch

IsaacRocks:
#Storytime.
I Once went to the bank to pitch one of my products (a lean startup under Pantakers) to one of the popular Banks in Abuja, after talking about the partnership type and showing my prototypes and idea, carelessly the lady just looked straight at me and said.

"No1 I don't understand what you are talking about.

No2 you can have access to any facility either in loan or fund from the bank".

This statement almost killed me immediately, mhen entrepreneurs in Africa especially Nigeria are suffering oo, with tears in my eyes .
I left there knowing that God that gave me the idea will water it and those banks will one day come and beg to invest in my idea.

No 2. Can or Can't?
