Foreign AffairsRe: Russia Vs Ukraine: What Is SWIFT And Could It Be Used Against Putin? by henryobinna(m): 5:19pm On Feb 27, 2022

So I don't know if e go affect dem cos we for diz side don move on....
You don't know what you're saying. We use Swift in Nigeria.

If you want to receive foreign currency to your dorm account you'd most likely be asked for your bank's SWIFT code.

Swift is just not needed for local transfer but international, it is needed. The article is talking about international transactions.

Foreign AffairsRe: Ukraine Claims To Have Shot Down 5 Russian Planes and One Helicopter by henryobinna(m): 8:17am On Feb 24, 2022
Mightymanna:
So it is really happening?
Who is pushing this Ukraine to self destruction? Have we exhausted all room room for dialogue?
how are they pushing Ukraine when it's clear Ukraine is being invaded by Russia.?


If Russia is left to continue invading and taking over countries, it'll eventually get to a point western Europe would be swallowed up as well. That was the reason NATO was created in the first place. And Russia is trying so hard to prove them right.
Foreign AffairsRe: USA, EU & UK Impose First Stage Sanctions On Russia by henryobinna(m): 12:10pm On Feb 22, 2022
jackcanfield:
Russia never grant independence to a part of Ukraine, it only gave an official recognition, to a people who want to be independent. Ukraine which is part of the USSR should have been allied with the Russian not NATO. The same way they have right to join NATO is the same right Russia has the right to recognize the independent state... America won't allow Russia put Missile in Cuba because it threatens their security and keep them in perpetual alert security wise , now they find it comfortable for Ukraine to allow them have a base at a striking point to Mother Russia. Whatever they do, what is important to me is peace, let everyone keep negotiating and talking without firing a bullet.
I don't think any country has the right to balkanize another independent country.

Moreover, Ukraine is not the only former USSR member that's joining or aligning with NATO. The reason for NATO in the first place is because they're scared of Russia and it's bullying tactics.

Without NATO Russia would have forcefully taken over all former USSR members and smaller states around. NATO is a big deterrent and they know.
Foreign AffairsRe: USA, EU & UK Impose First Stage Sanctions On Russia by henryobinna(m): 12:54am On Feb 22, 2022
jackcanfield:
The World is a very funny place ... Ukraine can join NATO and put Russia security in perpetual alert, yet Russia recognizing breakaway region is a problem.... Pikin wey talk say Mother Russia no go find rest , no go find rest too....
Ukraine is a sovereign state and can decide to join whatever organization they decide, but Russia a totally different sovereign state does not and should not have the power to grant independence to a part of another country.

How do you compare a country joining an organization for their security purposes with another country overstepping its boundaries by granting independence to a portion of another country?


Like Nigeria granting independence to a portion of Togo or Benin republic, do you see any sense in that?

To be on the safe side, you can quickly to a diploma in any care course, you can do it online. There are some Uk recognized institutions where you can do them online. I did on alisons, I didn’t pay for the course but after the course you have to pay for the certificate. It took me one week to complete it.
I heard Florence academy is totally free. But I don’t know if they are Uk recognized. So just do any of them. Goodluck.
hello, could you please link to exact course you took on Alisons? I see a bunch of them but not sure of them. Thanks
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia & China Create A 'No Limit' Alliance Amidst Rising Tension In Europe by henryobinna(m): 8:40am On Feb 05, 2022
Henri8:
Why then is the US in NATO and and dragging them towards Russia. It should have gone it alone.
Do you even understand what NATO is and who benefits most from NATO.

The US is one of if not the most difficult country to defeat on homesoil, reason is because it'll take a lot for you move your men and equipments from any part of the world to the mainland, before you arrive you would be forced to retreat. The US is very far from every single of its potential threats. NATO was created to mostly protect smaller European countries from Russia and not the other way around. The US doesn't benefit much(from the point of security) from NATO as you suggest.

The reason Russia hasn't invade and taken over Ukraine and maybe other smaller countries around that are NATO members is because of the USA, knowing fully well that NATO is a military union/organization and not an economic one, any assault on a single member of NATO no matter how small or weak the country is would attract other NATO members and that includes the US. Ukraine isn't even a 'full' NATO member.

The truth is no matter what you think, nobody, not a single country on this planet would ever want to fight a war with the US. If the war is on your homesoil(not the US) or around you, the US wouldn't have much interest in winning but the damage you'd incure would take decades to fix. The US is regarded as the only military superpower for a reason.

I'm not saying Russia isn't a powerful country, but a lot of people on this forum make silly assumptions. It's best for everyone if none of these go to war, because that's almost how previous world wars were started. If you think a third world war won't affect/impact on Nigeria or Africa, you need to think again.

FoodRe: Who Knows What This Plant Is Called In English? by henryobinna(m): 3:56pm On Jan 20, 2022
ignis:
Not everything have English name... The English man don't know this stuff.
this.

Nigerians need to know this and apply it to their lives. Not every of our every day food items or locally made/known items need an English name. If the Englishman or European asks, tell them the Nigerian/African name. Afterall we didn't give pizza an Igbo, Yoruba or hausa name. Why do we need to give Akara, Agidi, moimoi English names?

Like why?

Achara is achara, it doesn't have and doesn't need an English name. Unless it is a specie of an already known and named plant. But for us, it is what it is.

It is so annoying seeing Nigerians struggle to give our local foods English names.

BusinessRe: Government Will Help Next Cash & Carry Supermarket Bounce Back Stronger–Minister by henryobinna(m): 4:35pm On Dec 29, 2021
Sunday2021:
insurance company should be able to take care of that, not government. Who knows maybe he doesn't even insure the company, because in Nigeria big Man is allowed to do anything he likes. I believe if something like this happens to his company in London, UK will not be talking of how to help him,his insurance company will do the needful.
the truth is governments always offer financial assistance to businesses that had issues in virtually every country, while I can't specifically speak of the Uk as I don't know much about their politics and all but I am sure of the US.

Governments do this all the time.

Furthermore, the fact a business is insured doesn't mean insurance companies would run to cover every single damage, most times if the damage was deliberate or out of carelessness nothing for you. Even when it isn't, many insurance companyonly cover a small percentage of the damage. Unless you're not aware how these things work.

As you said he is a billionaire, it's an indication he can probably survive without this business should the business fold but what about the numerous staffs working there? How long before they get another job? Those are things the government consider. Because of he decides he's done with the business and folds he'll probably continue living okay or would just channel is money to a different business.

With the government offering to help restore to business, he won't want to do that and would mean he implicitly 'owes' the government and has to ensure the business runs and maintain the staff and other economic support it provides to the city.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Is It Adviceable To Leave A 30k Teaching Job For POS and Recharge Card Business? by henryobinna(m): 2:34pm On Dec 28, 2021
sulaimon22:
So a friend of mine seek for my advice on whether to leave his 30k teaching job to establish a POS and Recharge card printing Business in a small scale.

He has 500k saved up prior to December and invested 150,000 into crypto currency, now he wants to know if resigning from his teaching job would be a good thing to do as his tired of his current job.

What advice would you give to this person?
he should resign and look for something else, the POS business is a really good one if he has a good spot to do it and of course is careful so fraudsters do not wreck him.

He has to take the risk now as he can't be on the 30k join b forever.

BusinessRe: 2021 Is The Best, How I Made My First Millions by henryobinna(m): 7:36pm On Dec 21, 2021
Efulefu:
I bought my paper lamination machine in January 2021 for #27k by then.

Got a busy street nearby, where there is business center and NIMC / NIN registration center.

I laminate Nin Slip for N60, other papers for N120.

For 11 months: lets do the maths:
I usually laminate 70-100 Nin slip per day, for the hope of smooth calculation, let it be 80.
Other papers, lets it be 20.

60x80x30x11 = 1,584,000 (N1.584M)
20x120x30x11 = 792,000 (N0.8M)
Total = 2376000 (N2.376M)

That's agood amount...
Guys,ladies don't be lazy please, embrace the corn-tree (9ja), there is alot to get with tiny businesses like this,it will only cost you time.

Note: [b]extract sundays, sickness days and other necessary leaves from the 11months and from the total amount. cold, rainy or hot weather is not in my calculation, I use to be patient and work from 6am to 10pm no matter the weather, only if there's no people (may be due to rain), Family matters are not honored by me within this time, to invite me to somewhere, na you waste your time, the N50 is better to me than your wedding or so and so....[/b]

Remember, at first I only had N30k, 27 out to buy the machine, 3 to buy laminating film.

I only have half of the money with me right now becuase of:

*Feeding
*When I got my first 100k, I bought new SUMEC FIRMAN GENERATOR
*My mom and Dad exfences
*Bought a new bike for N380k
*Bought a plot of land to build a small shop (computer center)
*Buying of laminating film, which is currently 3.6K after each 4-5 days
*Bought Infinix Hot 10 for 56k
*And many other things.

Things that helped me More:
*Patience
*Perseverance
*Prayer for success
*Selfishness
*Not having a boyfriend to distract me.

I will use my remaining 1M to buy computer, printer, photocopier and other computer center business tools.

Help other youths.
what helped you is not any of those things you listed but being at the right spot.

Be grateful for that.

Kano is an Islamic state and it's under islamic rulings.... Reasons there is Sharia functioning there and hisbah as well...

this goes against what the constitution claims. Every Nigerian has the right to live and prosper in any part of Nigeria.

When this shariah law and hisbah was instituted they claimed it'll only have influence over Muslims, which smart people know would never be the case because once you give people an inch they usually ask for a mile.

I just came across a story on Facebook today, a man was lamenting and seeking for advice on what to do, he's at his wit's end.
Here's the story, the man lost his wife at child's birth and after awhile he met another lady that assisted him in raising the child, he eventually had a soft spot for her and sent her to university with the hope of marrying the girl the moment she finishes from school.

The problem now is that the lady doesn't pick his calls like before, she hardly calls him and the man is nonplussed.

Why are ladies giving guys every justifiable reason not to help them
again?
Is this smartness or turpitude?
since the lady assited him with his child he should consider that a form of payment for her help.

He shouldn't see it as though he's doing her a favor.

Traditional/Engagement is the main thing... That's our own culture...
Court wedding is important as well so the law recognise you and your partner as legally married...

Church wedding is just because you are a Christian by religion and you want to catch cruise most especially for females... It's not as valid as the Engagement and the court wedding...
My Opinion!
what is 'Enagement' really and what is the importance?

Since January, I have been suffering from goggle Adsense stopping adverts on my blog. It usually lasts for 2 weeks after which they will put ads back and limit again after 2 weeks. But these days, the ban or ads are now limited for 1 whole month.

Please how do I stop this suspected invalid traffic? What is the cause?

Car TalkRe: Innoson Vehicles Will Take Over Africa – IVM Chairman, Chukwuma by henryobinna(m): 7:17am On Nov 18, 2021
Rayjnr:
the wicked and uncivilized president and his vice are not supporting him at all, all they care about is a fictitious agricultural revolution in the 21st century.
to be fair Innoson himself has countless times stated he has received support from the federal government, from acquiring vehicles for the military to acquiring for other agencies.

Maybe the support might not be overly huge. It is still worthy of commendation, at least innoson himself is grateful for that.


And to those who claim his vehicles are of low quality or whatever, if the president of Nigeria considers Innoson vehicle strong and quality enough for something as important as the military fighting insurgency, then I'd say your opinion holds no water. If they're not reliable, believe me they won't be patronized for something as important as the military.

Here in Owerri, there's no day I go out without coming across different Innoson vehicles, from trucks to buses, to sedans and hatchbacks.

Innoson cars are all over the place in Owerri.
BusinessRe: Nigeria Home To 9,100 Dollar-Millionaires, Worth $207 Billion by henryobinna(m):
Biodun556:
That Nigeria economy is the largest in Africa and in 25th in the World is not surprising.

If 50 million + Nigerians are naira millionaire, and South Africa population is 40 million plus our economy should be bigger than theirs
how did you get the 50 million naira millionaire?

Where did you get the figures from?

I do not believe it. More than half of the country is living below poverty line(less than $1 daily). That leaves us with barely 100m people living in poverty and above poverty line. Of that 100m there's no way 50% lf them are all millionaires(naira). No way.
