So naming and shaming commercial banks is the oversight function of CBN.

No penalties or fines?

And if the indigenous people of Barking Ladi get guns for self defense now, FG go seatdown ontop their mata.

/
Na!

The question is: How does the FG know they have guns to defend themselves?

Once they can answer this question, they know what to do. Sometimes it is good to drop the phone, shun the media for clout and do what's necessary.

Brent oil:

In May, it was around $75 / barrel
June $78/barrel
July $80/barrel
August. $87.86/barrel ( current price)

Looking at the trend, it is predictable that the landing cost will increase. Fuel at N1000/ltr? You bet!

Why is Uganda approaching World Bank for loans in the first place?

I thought African countries have channelled their energy towards China and Russia.

At least he came down from his high horse to feel what the poor masses go through.

We are all mortals. People are the ones elevating fellow mortals to demigods.

If anyone had told him that he would be this humble (especially to those calling him "His Excellency") last month, he would have called the someone's bluff. Reality check.

/

/

What he said is in order.

The Nigerians that return the likes of Akpabio, Oshiomhole, Orji Kalu, etc back to the Senate deserve all the insults.

They know it. They should increase the level of impunity.

Checkout this whisky that cost $16,000 i.e. N13m

N1k or N13m or even N100m drink?

None of them has any special benefits.

Either way, it will end up as urine in 30 minutes or less.

Go figure!

Ehinjuola:
My husband is not the same man I fell in love with.

My husband changed totally after wedding day, in fact, it started on the wedding night and its giving me a lot of concern.

He was the one that wanted to have my hand in marriage and if he cherish me, he should do all they wanted since he is not paying twice.

After I said this, he stopped talking in the house, he comes home, eat and go to bed.

I tried talking to him but he would listen but not talk, he is cold to himself and prefer his privacy.

Have I said something wrong?

I don't like whats happening. My marriage is too young to be going through all these.

I am tired, I don't know what to do.

/

It is not your fault. So don't stress yourself. But you sef you no try. Your father "extorted" the hell out of him. I guess his parents are not alive anymore for him to have gone through this gutting by your greedy father.

It is totally his fault for not being man enough to walk away when he saw the wedding list. It is too late now because if he ever wants to marry another lady, he will still be presented with another list Let him carry his cross.

Bvlgari:
Dear Ladies,

If you're between 35 to 40 years old and yet no husband is coming, look for a guy you love either married or single and let him knack you and impregnate you.

You need a child that will look after you at old age.

Don't let anyone deceive you, Marriage is not an achievement, and it's not everybody that will get married.

You can still be single with your own child and still be happy and fulfill your purpose here on earth.

/

And if she gives birth to a child with Down Syndrome (high probability at that age range) na e be say her wahala done double. Geriatric pregnancy is a high risk adventure.

There is the right time for everything. The ones below 30 do not understand the power of life they wield. When they tag along with 30+ they are batting for the losing team. Some are still delusional thinking that 30 is far away. Buhari wasted people's lives from 23 into 31. Now imagine what Tinubu will do to the ones in their early 20s.

If you are a lady, 40 and single. Just look in the mirror and be honest to yourself--you have wasted your existence.

Why are Christians saying "sad" that someone is going to the beautiful place they pray and wish for? I don't hear "sad" when someone japa. Are people being hypocritical or delusional?

The negotiations happening in Niger has nothing to do with democracy.

Other African looters masquerading as leaders have seen the template and are fighting for the survival of their own regimes.

The crooked ones will start appeasing their military officers just like IBB distributed brand new Peugeot 504 to them back in the days.

The facial expression on the Burkina Faso leader, Capt Traore elicits automatic respect.

Unless he plans to change a mechanic, he will be a frequent visitor to the same workshop. The mechanic will get him next time. Range Rovers are good for decorating a garage.

Battlefield2:
Seriously, I'm pained right now,how can one decide to be stvpid and senseless at the same time
Before I begin, I swear to God who made me, this is not a lie,this is a true story....The story may seem long

So I have this friend, a close friend that works in a bank in Lag, he lives In his family house because his parents are late and he earns 70k plus,though he complains every now and then that the salary isn't much, if he collects salary by month end, before the 10th of the following month,he is already calling me for help on transports and all that and once in a while I help him with 1k or 2k to take transports and all that.

Last weekend,he was discussing with me on WhatsApp about car washing business,telling me it's lucrative and all those....I didn't pay much attention to it until he called me on Thursday and started crying...I asked him the problem,he told me a cousin of his sweet talk him into car washing business that it is lucrative and he can earn as much as 5k a day washing cars and he dropped the bombshell

He told me he sent in his resignation letter on Monday and Parked out of his family house telling those ones that he has been transferred to another branch, he moved to the one room apartment the car washing company provided to him n 3 other guys and started work. He said he hoped in his mind that if he can make 5k a day, he can save as much as 3-4k daily and that is a big improvement to the bank work

The reason for the lamentations now was things are not the way his cousin told him,he said since last week Monday up till this moment, they have only washed maximum of 3 cars per day and at the end of the day, the owner only gives them 5h each in which he used for eating. I requested for video call on Sunday and he is seriously looking lean and unkempt

He apologized that he didn't seek an advice from me or anyone before taking that bold move, he told me he is seriously depressed and wants me to profer a solution to him

Problem now is,he told me he is ready to quit the work and come to a different state that I am in other to restrategize.....I don't know what to tell him because I don't have much too and I'm struggling too because I'm sure if he comes,I will be fully responsible for feeding and all that
Moreso,I can't tell him "No" because right now,he has no where to go,his parents are late and he has already packed out of his family house rendering him homeless,moreso he is my very good friend

So I seek an advise from you all
Pls advise me, I'm confused!

Let's assume he makes N75,000/month gross.
After deductions (15% = N11,200), his take home is N63,800
Working 20 days in a month == N63,800/20 = N3,190 per day.
Subtract job-related expenses for the month (eg. transportation, clothing, etc)
Then subtract job-related stress.

If he can make N2,500 per day at the car wash, his life will be better off. He may need to find something else part-time to do when car wash business slows after 12noon. He should expand his skills to waxing, detailing and cleaning of foggy headlamps.

With high resilience and avoidance of ladies like a plague, he may be better off after a year. Nothing is easy at the beginning. However, he should have done weekend car wash to have a feel of it before quitting his job.

SamWales:
Hey guys, I've been wondering, why is it that most people don't renovate their house in the village till their old parents are dead?

Is not like they don't have the money to do this, but they will rather wait till the old parents drop dead. Immediately, they will start rebuilding the house trying to complete a 1 month construction project in just 1 week before performing the burial.

Is it that the old parents doesn't merit a good house? Apart from impressing the guests that will attend the burial, do you know of any other reason why people do this?
What is your opinion?

/
Not as bad as those who start digging foundation and building a befitting house to match their status before fixing the burial date of their parents. After the ceremony, the house remains mostly on lock. Ridiculous!

It gets worse. Some pay millions to Apams for funeral rites of their parents that died in poverty.

Tinubu fits the profile of a 3rd World President favored by the West.

It is best to have someone they have dirt on that they can use to blackmail to do their bidding.

Sadly, they always destroy them when they have finished using them.

He can go back to the bank a month later that he resigned on health reason to go and treat himself. That he is OK now and willing to resume. At least they can see how lean he is now if he had good rappot with his boss

This is turning out not ECOWAS vs Niger.

It is ECOWAS I vs ECOWAS II.

Ghana has been noticeably quiet in this saga.

/

/
It is in line with what I said about Chief of Army Staff talking about coup. The junior officers are the ones bearing arms. If they go rogue and press the trigger, a General goes 6ft under. Bullets do not respect rank.

/

Dreamhighnow:
Is he in government that u are dictating how to spend his money. Go and meet your elected officials and politicians to provide jobs

/
It is not the government's duty to provide jobs.

Their job is to provide enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

My. point is that he'd been better off flushing the money down the drain. Either way it is a waste. Exercise in futility nonetheless.

/

/
The people are talking about war and implications in Niger.

Nigerian politicians are eyeing the war funds from EU to loot while they send hapless eggheads to die unnecessarily in Niger.

When Nigerian politicians show interest in any cause, just follow the money. Therein is the motive.

/

/
What I find funny is that they may be figuring out what to do with Niger Republic and then coup happens in another West African country.

Now that's what I will call real entertainment.

/

/
War results in a proliferation of arms. With a tattered economy, where do you think the "good people of Niger" will turn their guns to eke a living? Their neighbors in Northern Nigeria. Have you been to the borders recently? Let's say there is no border. I am not sure the North can contend with the banditry post war.

Nigerian cannot suppress Boko Haram in times of peace. Can they suppress the activities of many criminal actors when it comes after or during the war?

Spend money to empower the youths through employment. How will preaching the gospel lift the idle youths out of massive unemployment? We are contending with dearth of productivity in the country and this is the best Oyakhilome could do.

Use that fund to build Satchet water factory or the least, buy 100 Keke Napep to assist the hapless ones. Why waste such amount in a fruitless and unproductive venture?
