infocrib:
you seem right....but check this blogger sites and tell us what more wordpress had to offer than this http://www.infocribng.com and http://bloggersstand.com

jeez..that is so beautiful..I can't believe you used blogger to do that

ollysaks:
Una try, within one year of this chain govt, they have successfully hiked up:

Prices of food stuff, rice from 8000 naira to 14000naira etc

Foreign exchange, that one dey give some people nightmares. But Baba says 'tough luck '

Electricity bills figures, only mathematicians can arrive at the answer, how u had no power but got an outrageous bill.

Pure water too, has joined others.

Now petrol is 145 naira per litre.

Where is the consideration for the poor masses, u deceived that you were going to change their lot.

Or it's tough luck.

how come you forgot to add our dearest garri that increased from #300-#650 per paint container

Nigerians are crying that they will buy fuel at #145 whereas the reality is only nnpc filling stations will sell at that price and we all know how difficult it is to buy fuel there while others might sell as high as #200..so we should be saying that the price of fuel is #150 and above

I thought I was the only the one that noticed and I kept shut to avoid been called a bad belle..as far as I am concerned an average light skinned Nigerian girl is even prettier even or chocolate beauties sef go beat am hands down in terms of beauty

SamsonJohn743:
How much did you get it?

#800 but I heard it is #1200 now

queenex:
plz can u post d picture of d cream n are u still using it?

I'm no longer using it,I found it too thick for the weather so I am using q7 lightening or at times brightening lotion and original dudu osun soap,cos the fake is everywhere

any lady supporting wikid is a disgrace to womanhood and any guy who has wonderful women like a responsible mother,spouse and sisters should desist from insulting another lady's private area especially when you haven't seen it.all this she don cast her dis is dat is Damn childish,you are not a virgin and your wife might not be one..women are not objects..no offense to wizkid's mum,but I doubt if her son knows how her menopausal p***y stinks too,he is probably used to prostitutes who sleep around with anything they see and have lots of diseases,I feel so sorry for Tania omotayo and can't help but wonder how she managed to put up with this split brat..Linda caused it though, she would have known that you can't win a fool in a foolish game,they will beat you to it..

just cut the story short by saying the girl was his side chick..a lady that was married as at last December,I wish him the best with her though her past is messed up

the silence of the federal government on fulani clashes is deafening if it is ordinary ipob protest you will hear 20 arrested for causing unrest..na wa for the governor of that state sha, the highest blame goes to you

economists where there giving us long epistles not knowing that this is just the work of some greedy cabals where up there frustrating us..if Ubah's threat to expose them has a hand in this then oga thank you

Bevista:
Ordinarily, I should not comment on this thread since Ubah has not mentioned how he would go about it. However, for the benefit of those who might get swayed by his cheap claims, I'll say something.

The exchange rate (PRICE of dollars) is determined primarily by SUPPLY of dollars (through exports, FDIs, foreign borrowing, etc) and DEMAND for dollars (through imports, payments of foreign school fees/medical bills, online purchases, etc). The NET flow of these transactions determine the Balance of Payments (BOP) account with the Central Bank. Elementary economics tells us that when demand exceeds supply, prices go up!

Coming back to Nigeria, it is well known that oil accounts for 95% of our FX earnings. As oil prices have collapsed from ~$100 in 2014 to ~$30, our supply of dollars has dropped tremendously. This is even worse when one considers that our cost of oil production is ~$20/bbl, meaning that our dollar revenue from oil has dropped from ~$80/bbl to ~$10/bbl. On the demand side, the request for imports are increasing. With such supply shock and increasing demand, there is only one way for the exchange rate to go. This is basic economics and has nothing to do with Emefiele or Buhari, except you are simply being mischievous or grossly ignorant.

When oil collapsed from around $147 to $38 due to the 2008 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Nigeria had a Foreign Reserve of ~$62bn. The then CBN Governor had to spend ~$20bn from the Reserves to meet import demand thereby preventing devaluation/depreciation. Between 2011 & 2014, oil price was above $100, meaning that the administration never had a dollar supply problem and so could maintain a stable exchange rate. Fast forward to late 2014 when oil prices slid to ~$60, the CBN had to devalue the Naira twice within a period of 6 months (Nov 2014 & Feb 2015) because the Reserves were too low (<$35bn) to deplete to support imports. Now in 2016, oil prices are around $30/bbl while FX Reserves is less than $28bn. The supply shock has reached unprecedented levels, yet demand for imports has not decreased. There is absolutely no way that the exchange rate can stay below N250/$. Simple economics says that price will continue to move till a new equilibrium is reached where demand equates supply.
---
There is no policy from Emefiele, Soludo, Greenspan, Bernanke or any other Central Bank governor that can strengthen the Naira in the near term. Except we want to completely deplete the Reserves or go to the IMF to borrow SDRs just to meet import demands. Brace up folks, if oil price collapses to $20 (thereby increasing the supply shock) the exchange rate shall hit N1000/$ and I repeat, this has nothing to do with Emefiele or Buhari but simply economic forces. The only thing that can save the Naira is either for SUPPLY of dollars to increase (through high oil price) or DEMAND to reduce. Since we do not have control over the supply side, we can at least focus on managing the demand side.

So Mr Ifeanyi Ubah, you have zero knowledge on what you are talking about. With all the money you made from the last government, you can start by building a refinery or some other manufacturing facility (like Dangote) to help us substitute for imports. That would help the Naira more than you seeking cheap consultancy from the government. Or except you want to broker a deal for the government to give amnesty to your Dasuki-Gate friends, so they can bring out stashed up dollars from soakaways and graveyards to support the economy.

maybe he knows something that you do not know

sage2:
Can you name the two wives he divorced? Stop talking about things you don't know. Uncle Musa don't suffer fool gladly for gold digging bitches. Musa first and genuine wife died while still married to him. Then gold digging bitches started coming to reap where they did not sore. They are failing faster than we have always anticipate.

no be only uncle musa na broda musa..please everyone knows his first wife who was a lawyer died of renal failure years after their separation so don't form familiarity by saying uncle musa..

dat means her husband stopped her from acting and pursuing her dreams only for him to still cheat on her..dats her biz Sha.. everyone knows that musa is a big time play boy..someone that has divorced two wives and has kids from several women and you still had the guts to pitch your tent there when the signs are clear..Best of luck though

liEnus mba uncle u can lie o

a bag of pure water sells for 200 in FUTO

Sunofgod:
Nonsense - Only no fool with money would fly Arik. Unless you just like suffering.

Why chop fish from polluted waters when you have money?

Why watch local leagues when you can watch international superstars in the premiership? Its even cheaper self!

Innoson dey try well well - but a Benz is a Benz and its all about the brands reputation. The day I know an Innoson vehicle can
last 20 years like a Benz then I'll convert.

Mr Bruce or Murray - some people are starting to see through you (your just a talker)

how hygienic is the foreign fish. .if they package expired fish u will run and buy

very truthful..but I began to doubt the authenticity of the source the moment he said is IMF father Christmas..if he had said Santa Claus fairer,but father Christmas that is a slang for we Nigerians alone..besides what are the odds that a Jew who does not celebrate Christmas will add such in his speech

iluvkpetus:
Did u do that as well,If yes...How much does it cost?

..as a student dental technologist i'm aware that your teeth can be prepared so that you can put on porcelain crowns(quite expensive though) or you can wear veneers which are cheaper but in advanced dentistry all the surgeon has to do is internal or post canal bleaching..my sincere advise walk up to any standard dental clinic and explain your situation..I had a friend with cleft palate and it was affecting his esteem he took courage and walked up to a clinic and to his greatest surprise an NGO smile train was giving totally free treatment and the rest is history..you can find out about smile train and know if they can sponsor you

@politicalThug..in the days of the early church the meat was to the Romans what bread is to the Jews..the Romans can not do without eating meat,they loved it,abstaining from it was then introduced as a mark of sacrifice..it is just like telling kids not to watch t.v for one day or for to not to visit nairaland for a day for the sake of Christ..hope u understand my illustrations

its not about passing well... its about passing once... the SE may have the highest scores does not mean the SW is failing and performing below average... There are more private universities in SW than any other region.. If the SE gets 9 A's including maths and english and the SW gets 5 C's including maths and english... Both of them still end up going to the university.

govt should be more concerned about University graduates than WAEC holders.. and boost technical education.

yea u are right. besides.so many pple failed major exams in their lives but it still did not deter them from been great..I think we should be more concerned with empowerment because some pple actually fail not because they are dull but simply because they can't express themselves..to those who pass well please put it to good use

so expect you expect an African to be able to speak English more than their own language... you're smoking british weed... the main problem we have is Nigeria's unity... Nigerian education should be in local language.. so that people like will not exist and think they are better than people who speak their language better than a foreign language...

I understand you..but there is nothing as good as you can speak your local tongue as fluent as you can speak English,waec subjects are not written in our local tongue but in English,how do you intend to pass well without been able to express yourself in English,so far as it is our lingua franca we should be fluent in it.i speak my native tongue well and I am fluent in English ,i can interact with pple from any tribe..what differentiates the educated from the non educated is the ability of the former to interact and express himself to pple..I have met 'educated' pple who can't make friends with pple from other tribes because they cant express themselves to them,if you passed through sec sch and u are like that then your school fees was a waste

The writer is a buffoon... You are talking WAEC and you are talking about jobs, which company employs WAEC holders? We should be worried if it were graduates he was talking about. No sentiments, but the number of professors from ekiti alone surpassess the number of professors from the first 5 states on that list

that was several years ago..right now abia has the highest..and as for those of you complaining abt S.E schools I have met students from ogun state college of science and tech. to be precise who can't make a speak English for 10mins without adding Yoruba,and their spelling was nothing to write home about,u can barely see an average ogun kid conversing fluently in english.I have equally met such cases in the east,eket and the north will be the worst.in my uni,those of us who schooled in lag are no match to students from fggc owerri,fgc okigwe,onitsha and government colledge owerri,most best graduating students are always alumni of those schools.I think environment and exposure has a lot to do in a child's development,parents too should help their wards,students dis days don't read books like things fall apart e.t.c they are more bothered with Facebook,sports betting,nairaland and girls

i remember those days of pdp wen corrupt politicians go to court with all smiles,some with dancers and drum beaters as well as "fans" e.g bankole,bode george,alamesiegha..i'm so glad to see corrupt persons going to court looking remorseful and sick like the criminals they really are

imagine someone saying that the whites do not want u to succeed as if our government officials who steal money meant for public amenities are nt blacks,those who instill violence through ethnicity are nt blacks,i find it silly whenever i hear pple blaming whites for woes,wat are they using ur downfall to do?does it add to their gdp?if nigeria has a stronger economy will imf nt be more prosperous..are they any worse from the hatred blacks have for theirselves?go to other african countries and see d beef they have for nigerians..or is it our tribalism here in this country?we blacks are our own worst enemies..by the time we start taking ourselves serious others too will

flokii:
which ones be Agatu again..

Mikeparlo12:
Reno.....God bless you for this article, God was really specific in His laws. " thou shall not make any graven image" . Israelites made an image in the wilderness,God struck them and the image. It's so unfortunate that all the "saints" that Catholics calls upon are the idols brought into the church wen Emperor Constantine was converted.
may God open their eyes.

do not forget that winged creatures were made over the covenant box and God was pleased with it..as far it is used with the intention of glorifying the most high God and not some lesser gods do not judge..on the issue of saints a little read up on history will help you

Op why has d statue erected in Brazil not bn criticised. am not in support of d statue erection but can we stop making a big issue out of dis. y havnt any1 said anythn abt d statue dats standing in Rio, Brazil. 9ja ppl be like crabs - always trying to pull down one anoda

d same hypocritical nigerians will still go to rio and happily take a pix beside it,the "pull him down syndrome" in this country is too much..they can neva be satisfied with someone's achievement and they won't do any aside from condemn
