She has the right but she must remember that the lady that got killed a few years ago hasn't got justice yet and probably will not.

Her primary concern now should be how to stay away from flashpoints.

Why the hide-and-seek game?

EFCC only makes noise with no bite. They prefer drama to prosecution. The sooner he honours the invitation, the better for him. If he had gone with them yesterday, he would have been home today chilling and the case will die a natural death like the ones before him.

Politics / Re: Nigeria’s Dollar Reserves Plunge In Tandem With Naira Rebound by InvertedHammer: 11:52am On Apr 17
Timmi:


Why don’t we all wait and see. The currency speculators in Nigeria have distorted the market. The demand for dollars for the economy is and will continue to dwindle as a result of the Dangote refinery. The need to be burning dollars to import refined products is no longer necessary coupled with selling crude in dollars to local refinery will curtailed the dollarization of the Nigeria economy. Oil is about 60% of the economy but few people are talking about it nor taking it into consideration but rather everyone has become an arm chair economist.

So, like I said, let’s wait and see about a year from now, what all these postulations will lead the economy into. You can hoard your dollar all you want or convert, at the end of the day and at that time, we shall all count our losses or gains but Nigeria as a country will be in much better economic shape than previously.

As at yesterday, the US dollar is at its highest rate against major currencies since November last year while naira is gaining ground. So CBN is truly burning through the reserves to provide liquidity. It will be short-lived.

During Buhari 's era, naira fell from N195 to N465 and it caused an uproar to the point that Ifeanyi Uba volunteered his unsolicited support to contain the tide. Finally, it settled at N350.

Now naira ran down to N1900 and fell back down to N1000. A big relief if I may add. Jerome Powell noted yesterday that there will be no more rate hike in US for this year even though inflation is still way above the targeted 2% going by the CPI report last week. All eyes are on equities to drive flight to US dollars if shockwaves hit the stock market.

Plan: Continue to hold dollar-backed assets. Nigerian voodoo economy is not known to stand the test of time. This is a very long-term outlook not meant for speculators.

Dialysis could take up to 8 hours non stop for a one time procedure. The most they charge is 40k.
Now the maths
Running a gen that would carry the machine and an AC unit could take more than 20 liters of diesel fuel for those 8hours.
1000k x 20 liters is 20k
You pay the workers
How much come remain?

When you scale, it might help but the utilities will also increase.

They use to talk about 1000 ways to die.

In Nigeria, it is 1,000,000 ways to die.

The pursuit of everything Oyibo be it cosmetics, medications, food and/or beverages is a nuclear bomb waiting to explode.

Invest in a Dialysis center in Nigeria. The outlook is very promising ---for lack of a better word than connotes suicidal ideation among Nigerians.

Foreign Affairs / Re: Israeli War Cabinet: No Going Back On Attack On Iran In Clear & Decisive Manner by InvertedHammer: 7:51pm On Apr 16

Even in the Bible, Israeli peace was always short-lived. It was from one bad condition to worse conditions including slavery, sojourn in the wilderness. As recent as in the 20th Century, Hitler struck. One would think that they will start embracing peace instead of fanning the fire of hatred and war. They may have high tech military hardwares but they will never sleep with both eyes closed. What kind of life is that?

So the essence of their existence is to continue living in strife? USA will be thousands of miles away providing support because the financial engine of their military industrial complex must be oiled. But who is dying? US will never allow war in her own backyard cool

In killing many innocent civilians in crossfire, they have ended up creating more radicalized youths in Palestine. In other words, this war will continue till eternity with some periods of graveyard peace to recover.

After listening to many senior military and Intelligence officers in the Iran-Israel conflict, I must admit that Iran played a fast one on Israel and her Western counterparts. Imagine doing a pre-announced "mock' attack so that Israel and her allies can expose the capabilities of their defense system and the much touted iron dome. Scott Ritter succinctly elaborated on this scheme.

Sack her!

Or the least, reprimand and inform her that her employment is in jeopardy if the disrespect continues. You owe no allegiance to her. Choose between her and you who will leave the employment.

Two of you can no longer work together. It can only get worse. Unless there is a misappropriation of funds, I don't think the owner of the hotel cares.

Family / Re: Marriage Is Gradually Losing Its Relevance by InvertedHammer: 8:04pm On Apr 15

Marriage was killed once government got fully involved and made it a business contract in which one party is rewarded more if the contract is breached. Children used to be seen as blessings from God but these days women have turned it into a bargaining chip and a handcuff to chain unsuspecting men into financial slavery.

Many men opt for love gamble without signing the dotted line to avoid stories that touch especially the "no-fault" divorce laws. A woman professing love for a successful man these days is not different from a yahoo guy fishing for clients.

jesusjnr2020:
When She Wants To Talk To You About Everything Else But Jesus

Ever met any girl who wants to chat pretty much about everything else with you but not about Jesus?

I have met quite a few.

Once was while I was traveling from Abuja to Port Harcourt in bus, and found myself on the last seat in the bus sitting right next to a young lady.

As expected, we chatted along the way and at some point even started singing Gospel songs together.

I could vividly remember when she corrected me while we were singing a popular Christian song, "Be magnified". She said it was I was not getting the lyrics right, and i was quite surprised because I've been proudly singing it that way since thinking it was correct prior to that, but she was the one that corrected me with confirmation online that she was right while I was wrong.

I appreciated her for that correction and things seemed to be going well between us until I took it to the next level as typical of me, and started preaching to her about Jesus, that it's important though not just to sing such songs about Him with our mouths but also really mean it from our hearts.

That was it and the same girl that was so passionately singing "be magnified oh Lord" and even corrected me when I got the lyrics wrong suddenly switched to silent mode.

She that was facing me prior to that but after I just said that, she immediately adjusted her body and started facing front.

I was wondering what I had done wrong or said that made her suddenly stop talking to me.

That was how it was until until we arrived at the bus terminal in Port Harcourt.

She refused to talk to me again in the bus just because I started preaching to her about Jesus.

God bless.

/
Now reverse the roles. Imagine going from the same Abuja - PH and the lady sitting next to you starts preaching marine spirit or Sango to you.
Would you have been receptive to her message? Or you think that you are the only one with the theories that deserve audience?

Instead of hyping Israel, Iran, Ukraine or Russia...if Nigerians are people with functional brains...this would have been a time for introspection.

They would have been asking pertinent questions: What does Nigeria possess to protect herself against external aggression?
