People keep saying Nigeria should export more for the naira to gain, Please was Nigeria actually exporting anything when a dollar was 200 during Jonathan regime?? I'm curious 🤔

what was the cost crude per barrel at the time
moreover what #200 could buy you during the time of jonathan at the moment can1300/$1 not buy it
Life didnt begin with jonathan at a time car was less than #50 in Nigeria

Hmmm.. some will copy the rich and remain hungry. Why would an akara seller be using iphone? To what end? Is she making money with it?
I don't do such competition. When I'm rich enough to buy it I'll buy. Untill then I live within my means.

Don't good life as copying the "rich" ... i believe every good thing money can buy is for humans .... naa finance dey fall hand who no like better thing
in the 90's when i watch usher, nelly, fat joe n co, on channel 0, i note down the shoes and dressing , i save n starve 11myself til i can go to ojuelegba boutique and buy those things i crave ... don't know if thats fake life but i live my taste abeg
there is nothing wrong if you want a "good Life" and you stretch or strive to taste it ... remember YOLO !

Ours didn't have a hanger. I just used that as a sample when I didn't get the exact type but it was all glass and in place of that hanger it has a flat glass tray that holds the TV. But every other thing about the shelf is accurate. Glass Wings on both sides. Very beautiful.

Looking back i think the gap between the rich and poor as being greatly reduce to account balance ...

In the 90's there are some gadget you dare not see in poor people home but today both rich and poor get dstv for house, use flatscreen, tv console, even yetunde omo iya alakara for my area dey use iphone ... times have really changed

Abeg in 2000s which level of rich man be this because even as a middle class family living in koyi then our house no look like this. Biko. My dad had high taste for interior decor and electronic gadgets and tries to keep it simple.

Anyways it depends the on area he flexed his own big manism. Maybe those munshin area, Maroko or amukoko but definitely not in high brow areas like awolowo road ikoyi, okotiebor Kingsway..


See as the house dey kill joy self . Even in the 80 s houses I grew up seeing didn't look like this.

In 1999 when I finished secondary school below is the shelf and tv stand my dad bought when he was changing our interior then. With very nice comfy sofa to go with it.

Your backing dating aint correct, as at 1999 there is no LCD tv in any home in naija, talkless of hanger
things took a different turn in Nigeria after the advent of GSM, and that was millennium season
that tampered glass shelve you posted came on board from 09 .. even though there were fancy imported wooden shelves with rotable head in the 90's

paramakina202:
You mean the man that beat down the Jagaban the notorious Lagos landlord in Lagos is in same level with Sowore?
Anyway I do not expect honesty from an obviously a dishonest person like you.

Funnily are you aware INEC conducted the Lagos election obi won

where obi won you believe INEC and where Obi lose INEC sold the election .... is that how honesty people reason

NOwazobia:
I no be gentle man, fill with so many ills, but don't go around beating up people's wives and daughters...


just so I can answer the title, man.


If I want to have a good and fair fight, I do it with my fellow man, not even male kids, fellow adult like me....


That is how to test ones manliness if you want to be physical or measure how physical you are.

As much as you make it a priority to respect women ... bro extend it to your dad

i am amuze you don't even reckon having a mindset you can disrespect or beat your father is a sacrileage and more shameful

Men should control there fist and Women should curb there tongue as well

NOwazobia:
Take hold of your anger and stop beating your wives.


They are not some secondary school students that should be beaten.


The virtue of marriage already make you two rational adults, and equals. Not one, your kid that you should punish at every slight excuse.


Disengage if you tired or fed up...


Some even buy cane at home to discipline their wives... what an Idiot.


What are pathetic generation of men who think flexing muscles with their wives make them men enough.


Some can't even provide sufficiently for their wives and kids, but at every little excuse, they flog and punch their wives.


The first time my Dad try that nonsense, even though he never neglect his responsibility as a father and husband, was the last he did.


They know the type of Son they have.


I started as a teacher, and I never went to my class with a cane for discipline all the months and years I spent in at least two schools, let alone beating a woman, or my girlfriend.

How can you insult your dad like that " cos you wana make a point to strangers" .. was that necessary

what do you mean by ; they know the type of son they have

A son who has no manners or respect for his father has no moral grounds to contribute on domestic violence.

It will keep collapsing on the head of Tinubu and all agbado supporters. When Obi went to Egypt to study tricks behind their steady power supply, a height Egypt newly acquired, many APC urchins and jobless people here condemned him. How far today? Where is Tinubu taking us? Any sign he knows what he's doing? Any trace he has a plan Nigerians deserve their leaders

You call that 48hrs charade Peter Obi went to do in Egypt "study" ... did Alex otti travel anywhere

lets assume Peter obi was President will he hold tools and build the power plant by himself or outsource it to professionals

Today most backlogs holding the nation backward are being cleared, several reforms in immigration and banking sector that resonate "Hope" and foreign investors are regaining hopes of repatriating capital funds ...

Tinubu economy reform targets $1 trillion Gdp,and you must have heard about the recapitalisation of bank directive ..

Oga even if you are blind its not an excuse .. what plan does peter obi have to resolve NLC/LP fracas. person wey no fit fix im family wan fix Nigeria

SisterAnn:
This is the reason why they are afraid of the Igboman. They are afraid of the Igboman ingenuity.

Stop living and wallowing in delusions, humans crave invention, ... even russia & north korea that are inventing bombs have friends

If you think FG is not supporting igbos, does it look like FG is bank rolling any tribe, as a yoruba boy weytin Nigeria or FG do for me, ask adamu riding bike in your area did FG empower him

Enough of these victim mentality, if its compulsory we all are victims

WayoProphet:
lol, is Sony a joke to you? Sony has the best true natural picture quality and lasts longer. Samsung picture quality is over filtered like Instagram filters.

Sony is a top brand no doubt but when it comes to Television dey are behing samsung & LG.

when it comes to camera and sound system leave it for sony .. i love sony cos naa CLASS
I have used sony bravia, samsung, lg, hisense and mistakenly bought TCL tv from my experience LG tv has the best resolution in all
people are a bit skeptical of LG because fake full market, so they rather settle for samsung

pocohantas:
When I say Hisense na t____ TV.
Some people would open mouth to tell me Hisense and Samsung na mate. Just buy your Hisense, but don't dare compare it to Samsung.

naa fellow woman fit dey give you such reponse, no real guy will dare say hisense is better than samsung ... even the price variation naa see finish

Aunty how that hisense fridge .. se okan mummy ti ba lé

BannedUser:
This was a case of kidnapping by the FG. Nothing else.

i guess you are the one that recieved the call, just tell binance the ransom demanded abi na you wan pay

My favourite at the moment, these guy just over ride Nathaniel bassey fr my mind ...

those two are great blessings to the xtain world 🥰

omoredia:
First dey said 'no structure' now it is greed. Can u be greedy over something that u people have being saying has no structure. LP is now the party to beat so all these issues is now expected. LP is officially a big party na fine woman, men go dey fight for.

Make una put mouth for one place

Di d LP refute "no structure" and why is a party that rode on the mantra of "no structure" conducting an elective post election
Where there is *hierachy" can *structure* be missing" perhaps it is LP that needs to learn how to define themselves

All the news trailing Labour party recently as shown beyond doubt they are rogues disguising, na God save Nigerians

guobe:
The boss is not with him.

Bounce back or reversed transaction only happens with conventional banks app ...

in my experience, such don't happen with fintech banks such as Opay, palmpay e.t.c

Azzik:
Look at what this fool is saying, peter obi doesn't believe in democracy so it's your tinubu that is chairman of thugs and agbero who bribe his way with inec and cause a lot of disruption in the just concluded election that is a true Democrat... you are you definition of someone without brain

what IF tinubu bribed his way through, is it not the same bribery & corruption that as being putting LP in the news lately
Lately has Ajaero not caused more disruption to nigerians than what thugs do ... who fit count how many "Strike actions" Ajaero has disrupted

Tinubu formed and funded APC but he submitted himself for convention polls ..
why will an acclaimed Man of the people called Peter Obi not test is popularity & acceptance from his party polls are they afraid

cjfavour:
The country dodged a bullet and entered one chance with APC or are u not feeling this excruciating inflation in d country? How much do u buy a liter of cooking gas? Fuel nkor? A bag of rice is how much now? Things are getting worst and you're there bad mouthing another party while you're party in power is impoverishing Nigerians. APC is a cursed Party.

Yeah ! things have gotten worst but sometimes in rebuilding you have to bulldoze an action that always seem like worsen the situation ..
No matter how bad thing are we can't write off the govt for now until maybe after 2yrs

seunmsg:
This is a very big deal and I’m happy Mr. Adebayo Ogunlesi is willing to invest in the President’s renewed hope agenda.

For proper context, Adebayo Ogunlesi is one of the richest and most influential businessman in the world. He recently partnered with Larry Fink to make Blackrock the largest asset management company in the world with over $10Trillion assets. Blackrock has been looking towards investing in Africa and this meeting could be the beginning of massive investment in the country.

how can you allege adebayo ogunlesi is one of the richest and influencial in a category specially reserve for the builders, Obi cubana, chief priest and E money nko

the emperor, the conqueror the champion the lion is here , zorbuzorbu enyimba nyin

kunle75:
My question is where's do we blame in this situation?

You can blame the leaders at the elms of affair but i think we all are to be blame for the state of the nation

kunle75:
I love your analogy, so simple for a layman like us to understand, but you never point fingers directly on whom to be blamed for indiscriminate FX as regards prices of commodities.
Because, the distributor,seller and buyers are not the regulator who made those policies. We all know SS &DD are directly affected by FX .
I want to learn please

I don't get the question can you break it down, i also belong to the layman class

DenreleDave:
So what about distributors that bought good at 1000 per dollar and hiked the price to 1800 per dollar....

If they can easily hike price, why is it hard to bring it down now

The priority of a seller is "profit" and "restock"

lemme use a simple analogy, as a frozen food seller you bought carton of chicken at 43k then you intend to make 3k gain on top

then suddenly Fx rate goes up and carton of chicken goes for 50k from distributor .. new cost price

if you decide as a child of God you must sell at cost price you bought it i.e 43 + 3 = 46k

After you sell your last stock finish how will you restock when new price is 50k

remember that 46k your profit dey inside, you don even forfeit am but e no still reach ... where will 4k deficit come from can you bear such loss

DenreleDave:
Femi Adebayo has done nothing wrong.

Mr & Mrs Bobrisky has done nothing wrong

The only people I think have a misplaced priorities are Nigerians who are struggled to eat and subscribe fighting over people that can afford anything they want anytime..

Nigerians are so annoying.. We leave what's important and face what's less important..


Dollars has come down, the woman selling provisions in your streets and markets has refused to Bring price of commodities down but you are not bother....

Your concerned is Bobrisky and Femi Adebayo..

Nigeria youths wake up and let's storm these greedy sellers

Maybe we are not bothered because we understand LIFO, besides you don't have to be descendant of Adam smith to understand a marketer or distributor that bought goods @ $1/#1800 rate can't drop price on stock cos dollar is now #1300

If Naira maintains consistency, overtime distributor/seller will reduce prices as old stock fade out. just pray Naira keeps gaining

who be the last person, proserpina i dey your back

mrvitalis:
You can employ 100 people to me making 400k yearly?

Or even 5 people to be making 400k yearly? How much u wan pay them

Alol ! you think its about quoting anything on google, dey apply your academic qualification naw,
are you saying football clubs like Man city, real madrid, man U, e.t.c are medium scale cos dey don't even make close to $1billion revenue anually



go n sit down

mrvitalis:
They are medium scale business
.. They are not big business

Bros I told you refining machine and you are showing me palm oil production machine

If I show you the machines what next? What would you do

did you just call a business that cost $500k medium scale, that is almost #700m ....
military suppose arrest you join militant dem dey find ... cos you just murdered "logic"

A business worth ova 700m investment, naa 400k turnover go be the benchmark oga go n sit down

mrvitalis:
I have told you palm oil refining plant
High quality nylon extrusion machine... Used to produce pure water

Fairly standard chocolate factory

Fairly standard chicken Franks factory

Bros abeg abeg

For a starter, mechanized oil refining do not belong to the category of SMEs, most of these oil factories are owned by multinational or big companies.

show us your own reciept of the machine wey cost $500k, dj Yk

mrvitalis:
Lmao which machine can you buy for $10k dollars Lmaooo

Mere palm oil refining factory would set you back $500k minimum, if you include mayonnaise and butter factory to use up the by products you are talking $1 million to $5 million for its basic level

Smh small minded people

I wasnt even talking about $10k to buy machine, notwithstanding go on copart right now nd you will marvel @ cars $10k will buy

Naija valueless currency as so much mess with you people head you just call dollar amount anyhow. mention the small factory machine dem buy $500k for ur eye ...

Say I want to set up a small factory and need $500k to buy machines or raw materials those are ur words bring out the machine wey cost $500k

Hoelujohn:
Do you know the BDC can actually make the naira 2500 overnight. They have the power over the rates. So if government paying them certain amount of money to bring the rates down, I think it's ok.
For your info, I am a strong supporter of PO but anything that will make the economy better, I will support

Capital NO ! BDC don't have the power except they collaborate the banks to sabotage the exchange rate, which was what was happening before
The biggest source of FX to BDC operators are the banks, presently BDC are registered and regulated
naa inside thief they make outside thief look like say dem get supernatural power

mrvitalis:
So in your head that can meet of up the dollar demand?

What you would achieve is Buhari 101 massive difference between official rate and black market rate

Say I want to set up a small factory and need $500k to buy machines or raw materials... Where do you think I would go? ... U think I won't pay 10% above price to get my
money in 1 week?

Height of ignorances ! which machine you wan buy for $500k ...
how you go put small factory and whooping $500k in same compound sentence ... the way Nigerians call money in dollar even americans no fit call $10k "just"
Anyone capable of setting up an investment worth $500k will most likely have connect to liason with cbn/banks
