Igbo people can conquer anything they set their minds on except politics.

I remember how they sold their block vote to GEJ for nothing while Yoruba and Northerners elders/chiefs got hundreds of thousands of dollars for political support in 2015.

By the time they realized their mistakes, they cried marginalization and GEJ had to hand out tokens to placate them.

This youth who goes by the name @kingtblakhoc on instagram has been sharing endless photos of all the ladies he sleeps with. What is baffling to many is how the guy has been funding his randy lifestyle. Or are women that cheap?

The background tells you that the guy is not struggling or his parents are loaded.
The thing about sleeping around is that once in awhile you will come across a crazy one.
The guy has good taste though, I must admit.

You are correct. I keep wondering how they were even cleared for such loans . So it means majority of those parading themselves as successful businessmen are really living large on borrowed money

/
That's smart.

Borrow billions, don't service the loans and live like a king.

When you die, let the living worry about that sh1t....because then, it will no longer be your problem. After all, no one carries his luxury to yonder.

To be a billionaire, you have to think like one.

It would have been cheaper if the lawmakers relaxed, showered and took a taxi to a strip club. $20 to get in, $100 VIP lap dance and no soul will be reading any epistle about sexual harrassment.

Get a good lawyer...get a good lawyer.

Calculate your rent. Add lawyer's fees. Then decide if it is worth it. Good lawyers are not cheap.

My point: You are screwed.

You missed the part about what transpired between you and the landlord from the time your rent expired till now.

Loans are not the problem.

The problem is not servicing the loans and carrying on like everything is normal.

Meanwhile, that should be between the banks and their customers. I will like to believe that those are secured loans, collateralized debt obligations.

Service providers in US are trained to be courteous and nice to patrons. They expect good tips for rendering exceptional services.

However, service providers in Nigeria are rude and angry at themselves, their employers, customers and the world.

So when a service provider goes out of her way in Nigeria to be nice, men see it as an invitation to gawk and possibly, sex for cash. More often than not, they are right.

Anyone man that carries such mindset to the US will definitely end up in the same situation as the lawmakers. It is usually your word against her narratives. Guess who they will believe?

Some of you are daft.

If you have final N2million savings in GTB and GTB folds, what do you do? Of course you will not be able to meet your manly obligations.
The same goes for Nigeria. Billions here, millions here...all embezzled and looted. Yet it never occurred to you that lifestyle will never be the same. You can't eat your cake and have it. GEJ and co-looters already ate your cake. You can call Buhari all you want. Just fasten your belt and enjoy the ride. Bitching online is not going to change anything.

Property of a habitual debtor is being held on lien by the creditor per court's order.

Buhari has defined his presidency. He is not going to be a "Yes" President to the IMF and World Bank. That is more important than all these temporary set backs. By the way where have you seen people being liberated not grumbling? It happened during slavery when some slaves
preferred the masters' barn to the freedom offered them. And if history is anything to go by,

"
1Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt. 2The whole congregation of the sons of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3The sons of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the LORD'S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."…Exodus 16:2

The start of the fall in oil prices coincide perfectly with an announcement that interest rates will be lifted by the US federal reserve. This occurred around June/July 2014. All other commodities such as gold and silver also fell in value.

Oil prices further declined sharply in November 2014 when OPEC announced it wasn't going to reduce production outputs.

Last December US federal reserve lifted it's interest rates for the 1st time in close to 10 years. At this same period oil hit its lowest levels of about 27 dollars.

Finally, last month US job report numbers were so bad that it is near impossible that the Federal reserve would further increase rates this year and is even more likely to reduce rates. This is a huge positive for higher prices of oil.

The value of the naira all things being equal should typically rise and fall as crude oil prices rise and fall respectively.

PS
I do not hold brief for this government neither am I an Emefiele follower. I only find it interesting that the CBN chose the very moment the US economy showed a major sign of weakness to reverse its bad policy of fixing the naira rate.

/
You succinctly observed that US policy and data influence the strength of her currency. Every G7 country that had intervened in the currency market against US dollar ended up with a nose bleed. It is akin to trying to catch a falling knife. A rising tide lifts all boats. So naira is just tagging along.

If DXY reverses bullish, Emefiele can talk and act all he wants, naira will go down the shitter.

A gateman employed to safeguard a house connived with thieves to burglarize the house. Some of the burglars were caught and they confessed that the gateman invited them. The owner of the house fired the gateman and got a replacement. The police wanted to arrest the former gateman but the house owner intervened because he believed the gateman is a nice and gentle fellow who happens to keep bad friends. As a matter of fact, the owner thinks his former gateman is a hero.

Now this is where common sense challenges reality. Goodluck Jonathan is a crook and a slow poison. Like they say, pretenders do the worst.

Constitutional Lawyer and former National Secretary of Labour Party, Mr. Kayode Ajulo, on Tuesday, described as “illegal” the freezing of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC. Ibrahim Magu According to Ajulo, EFCC’s action was an abuse of the immunity that covers governors in Nigeria. Ajulo in a statement said he received the news with shock, arguing that, EFCC has no legal ground to freeze Fayose’s account.

[b]The statement read: “This indeed came as a shock considering the personality involved, a sitting governor that enjoys immunity till the determination of his office as governor of a State in Nigeria. “It is the law that to freeze an account, there must be an order of court for the attachment of the bank account. It is also trite that for the court to make such order, there must be papers (court process) filed in court and signed by the judge.” He further said: “By the provision of Section 308(1)(a) of our Constitution as amended no suit can be instituted against Ayodele Fayose and/or any Nigerian governor in any court in Nigeria. “Therefore, no process of court can be issued, signed or served, against Ayodele Fayose in his personal capacity, whereas the bank account in question is his personal account as such in his personal name. “Moreover, sections 26-34 of the EFCC Act, established a process to be followed that is, a suspect must have been arrested for his account to be frozen however section 308 of 1999 Constitution, exempted Ayodele Fayose from those could be arrested and his bank account cannot be frozen. [/b]
It behoves on all right thinking Nigerians and law abiding individuals and corporate entities to ensure and insist that EFCC acts according to the law of the land and adheres to best international standard and practice. The constitutional lawyer warned, “It should be warned that EFCC is gradually turning into an unchecked tyrannical monster. If indeed Ayodele Fayose has a case to answer, the case of Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vs. Gani Fawehinmi is apt and locus classicus; Therefore, EFCC should lift the attachment on Ayodele Fayose’s property, go ahead to investigate him but wait for Fayose to complete his term of office before commencing his prosecution. That’s the law and it must be followed.”

I love to hear people who claim to be smart make fo0ls out of themselves.
The writer forgot "plausible cause" . Plausible cause negates all the immunity Fayose thinks he has under the Constitution.

Immunity is not absolute. For example: If there is an evidence that Fayose is stockpiling arms to overthrow the government, the immunity clause does not protect him from arrest and prosecution because he is a governor. There is a big difference between mistakes made in discharge of duties vs. criminal act.
Law is not arithmetic where one can say 2 x 2 = 4.

You are not entirely correct. Emefiele waited for the US economy to show real weakness (last month's jobs report) before he started implementing this policy.

The CBN timed it's action perfectly.

/
You are wrong.
Effective intervention involves tens of billions of dollars and are usually shortlived. Nigeria's total external reserves is not enough to prop up naira. Russia threw in $90 billion dollars to support the rubble and the market swallowed it. Rubble went ahead and melted against the dollar. Nigeria does not have that kind of money to fight for naira. The best bet is to let naira float freely with other currencies against US dollars and hope for the best. That is exactly what Emefiele and co. are implementing at this time. Any further explanation beyond this is just propaganda.
\

It is an open season.DXY (US dollar index) has been trending down and that's why naira and most currencies appreciated against the dollar. Otherwise, the amount CBN used in intervention is inconsequential in the scheme of things. If the down trend in DXY continues, naira will appreciate as well. It has nothing to do with the magical wand of Emefiele or PMB. It is the market forces at play.

banjolek:
Hello guys,

I need your honest opinion on this, how much is really ideal to give one's wife as monthly pocket money?.

Here's my story, i recently got married and also moved to a new 3 bedroom apartment around gbagada. I earn a pretty decent income while my wife also works in the bank with a salary of like 150k. She saves a half of this salary and uses the remaining for upkeep.

Now the issue is my wife insists that i must give her monthly pocket money and i have proposed 20k, an amount i feel is more than adequate for her if added to about 75k which she already has to herself from her salary. Also note that this 20k does not mean i dont get to buy her random stuff during the month or provide anything she asks for if i feel its a reasonable demand.

A1so bear in mind that i am still 100% responsible for providing food and other bills in the house. In addition we just moved to a new apartment like i mentioned earlier and still in the process of furnishing it so a chunk of my monthly salary goes into furnishing the house.

We also have a plan to set up a business for her, so i'm also currently saving part of my salary to fulfill that dream.

Now my wife has rejected the proposed amount of 20k saying its too small.

I need your take on this people, considering all i have mentioned above, is 20k really too small to be giving her monthly?

i wrote this in a hurry, please bear with any typo observed.

/
Haven't you been following the current discussion on gender equality?

IF your household needs N50k per month, she brings N25k and you bring N25k.

Why can't men oblige women in this gender equality request?

\

/
Trust Africans to join the bandwagon.

Gender equality is being spearheaded by Western women who are already enjoying equal right and privileges that education, finance and jobs offer.

They did not start it for Africans or other women in the world. It is just a talking point for feminism championed by divorced, bitter and lonely women.

Give the mechanic the money and hope for the best.
A lot of car owners in Nigeria do not know what brake pads or spark plugs look like. They just buy cars to belong. That's why a particular brand comes en vogue one at a time. One person buys Infinity Fx, everyone wants it. Another one buys Toyota Venza, everyone wants it. In all, quack mechanics smile to the bank.
Like I always say, cars are pain in the a.ss.

From a business perspective, the guy knows what he is doing. Heck! You people are talking about him earning him more clout in the entertainment world.

Come to think of it, 5 bundles of N200 mint notes is just N100k. But when sprayed, will look like a million naira to the uninformed. Economically, it is cheaper tham the advert rates in most tabloids and newspapers. E-Money is marketing himself with a lot cheaper fund than others.

Good business if you ask me. More people may start booking his artists to bait his presence. In all, he gets paid.

MrMarvelous:
Wow...if u had read my post carefully nd not rush to type whatever comes to your mind, you'd have realised I wasn't referring to just this incident at all.
But nevertheless, what I find more troubling is the fact that you're actually cool with killings and are actually advocating for more...dude wtf??

/
Cool with it or not, the savages live to kill.
If they must kill, let them do themselves in.

If only government could be organizing cults shoot out every weekend to hasten the riddance of those urchins from the society.

I have ideas...get two different cults at the end of every month, arm them with knives, guns, bottles and put them in an open field. Then tell them to go crazy like gladiators. It will be like a football match. Gate fees for the spectators will be highly subsidized.

MrMarvelous:
Ok seriously these senseless killings in Nigeria are getting too much (from one end of the country to the other) and I don't care what the causes are anymore...
It's about time Nigeria wakes up and smells the coffee, every single day something like this happens...WE SHOCK, WE MOURN, WE "SOMETIMES" CHANGE OUR PROFILE PIC, and WE MOVE ON to the very next time it happens and we do the exact same thing all over again...it's now "normal" self.

Jonathan doesn't need the money. He stole more than enough. He cherishes relevance which continues to elude him. Can you imagine Jonathan that used to read speeches with monotonous boredom during his tenure giving speeches? I can't help but laugh. Who are his audience? The same Jonathan that stutters and shakes in the presence of Chris Amanpour of CNN?

The new Yoruba Oba in US has more clout than Mr. Jonathan. Yep! That's how low Jonathan sank. Politicians in the West, not that they are any better, can see through the charade and avoid Jonathan to avoid uproar in their constituencies for identifying with the slowpoke of the BringBackOurGirls saga.

People in the West are not swayed by stomach infrastructure like their poverty-striken counterparts in Nigeria where suckers are abashedly loyal to the provider of their last meal.

Paying a PR firm to launder his image by organizing nonsensical lectures in the mainly obscure places in the West cannot wipe away his inanities.

Like they say, " you can't eat your cake and have it". Nigerians are asking Buhari to provide the cake eaten by Jonathan and his co-travellers. SMH
