You don't have to touch people to sell products , disgusting, whatever happened to personal space . Those yaba traders are idiots

You don't touch someone you don't know very well, period. Your body is the only true property you have.

grandstar:
History always repeats itself.

In 2009 when the price of crude oil collapsed to $35 from $148 in 2008, the naira came under intense pressure. Soludo refused to allow the naira to depreciate from around 120 where it was.. He started introducing forex restrictions.

The naira however depreciated from 120 to 190 at the black market, a difference of up to 70naira. Before the difference was not more than 2naira.

When Sanusi came in that year, he immediately devalued the naira at the official rate to 150. Immediately, the black market rose from 190 to around 155.

If Buhari should devalue the naira between 230 and 240, the black market will converge with the official rate.

If not for a collapse in the system--- a rot which was allowed to fester because of previous irresponsible Governments--- shouldn't you be asking yourself why you have a black market for currency?

A balanced diet requires the right amount of protein ,carbs and vitamins
How clueless are you?

Never met a people that can lie to themselves with a straight face like these clowns.

godoluwa:
daily balanced diet requires a tin of milk & egg. How old are you plz?

How many of you had that growing up?

dannewlife:
Divide this country PEACEFULLY into regions. Let every region find a solution to their problems in their own unique way .

Aside the ORIGINAL Western Region (Including the Midwest), the rest of you will die of hunger. Oil is worth less than water now, just remember that.

They all look wild and scary.

oduastates:
You still do not get it .
you have not answered my question .
Will Nigerians die without milk ?
You have millions of cattle yet you cannot produce milks.
You have gas yet cannot provide electricity
You have rivers but cannot provide water
You have crude oil yet import petrol
You have thousands of cobblers yet import most of your shoes.
You have tens of thousands of tailors yet you import Tokunbo bras and pants.
If the businesses who need raw material that can be sourced locally cannot do so , they deserve to die .

Nigerians are just mentally lazy. Look at them arguing with you as if they know what they're talking about.

obasiken:
In 1983, people had to line up to buy a tin of milk. Go and ask your father. This policy is an ancient policy or you now know better than 2 former CBN governors sanusi and soludo who have come out to say the same thing.

Yes, because the situation wasn't because a corrupt civilian Govt destroyed the economy just like this GEJ led one did.

[quote author=TheFreeOne post=43092417][/quote]Funny, you saw that but failed to see this:“The government does not have the reserves to keep the exchange rate at its official level in the market,” Mr Sanusi told the Financial Times.

What happened to the Reserves? Oh, thats true, there's none. GEJ and his cronies thought Mansions and private jets were more important.

Sibrah:
Zombies everywhere. Even if the message talks about their own personal problems they will oppose the mesenger. Colö people.

They are the worst people on earth, Nigerians. I'd trust a viper, before I trust one.

frisky2good:
If you still don't know that your comment is full of grammatical errors then you are worse than I first thought. No need to quote me again. I have given you the last f*ck I have for this week.

Nigerians and mental illness...

When you think you've seen it all.

jamesharryson:
My dear, you are the problem to our society. For not being able to stand by the fact

You're either special, semi-blind, illiterate, morose or just obtuse.

Good lord, most of you guys are reta*arded it's not even funny.

knightsTempler:
You are beginning to sound daft because you have nothing noble to back up your imprudent and disparaging innuendos.

Quit with the exhausting balderdash and give it a freaking rest.

At least, unlike your other brother you know a few big words even if using them in the proper contexts is clearly a problem.

frisky2good:
Why not keep your English simple instead of posting a meaningless comment just to try to make people feel you have a good command of English language. Keep blaming GEJ till eternity and see if that will change the fortunes of the country.

If you feel that was complex....

Oh well, unfortunately I can't write in your native language, so English it is. Not my fault your Governments never funded education and most of the students still sit on the floor in roofless classrooms.

frisky2good:
Every f*cking thing is GEJs fault.

It's understandable your confusion the functions of a government as you've never had successive ones with good intentions for the Nation so it's no surprise you think GEJ should be absolved for bringing your country to its knees.

jamesharryson:
U must be a silly she goat that is being mated by almost all male counterparts if u ve to turn the weak points of the security agency to the fault of a harmless man. If u were in the position of tompolo, your own thievery will be too much to mention.

Leave gej and think a better solution to ur problems in Nigeria. Its been roughly a year the man left office.

"My problems in Nigeria"?! You need to stop doing drugs.

I say most of you Nigerians have mental issues; this is a fact. Just the way your country operates alone--- leaders and followers--- justifies this. GEJ, Chief Law Enforcement Officer of the Nation, empowered all kinds of thugs and terrorists while weakening every other Governmental Institution and you not only absolve him of blame but you dare call him innocent?!

You, the ordinary citizens, are the biggest problem in that country.

[size=15pt]Brace for tougher times ahead, Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians[/size] -NOV 2014

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/171145-brace-tougher-times-ahead-okonjo-iweala-tells-nigerians.html



THE AIM OF DIGGING UP THIS ARTICLE:

Pleae note: Madam Okonjor made this assertions in November 2014.

1. This is to remind the Wailing Wailers who keep attacking the current minister of Finance that the ex Finance Minister whom they so much believe in and whom they believe would have been a messiah sounded the alarm of a very tough economy ahead even when oil was still as high as 76usd per barrel. Do I need to remind anyone the price of oil per barrel now?

2. The ex Minister of Finance only saw a need to block revenue leakages when Oil prices started dropping low. Was any action taken after her suggestion? No!!! Rather, despite the dwindling oil prices, CBN became am ATM to allies of the president, where raw Dollars/Naira where withdrawn/tansferred under the guise of phantom projects, bogus subsidy claims, arms procurements. Etc. Now we are suffering of dollar crunch.

Who came on board to block the leakages? The new Sheriff off course, President Buhari.

3. If at $76/per barrel, Madam Okonjor was already ringing bells, why do the Wailing Wailers expect a booming economy from a government which is less than a year in office, and currently selling oil at $28 per barrel? Rather than wailing, they should rather support the government in steps taken to move Nigeria forward.

4. Madam Okonjor needs to explain to Nigerians why Nigeria was not saving for the dry season when oil was sold well above $100 per barrel. What happened to all the revenues generated when oil was booming? We only had booming economy on papers, ordinary Nigerians never felt a booming economy under her watch.

To the Wailing Wailers:

President Buhari have succeeded in blocking a lot of revenue leakages, and is driving seriously for non oil revenue generations as it is evident in the changes made in the Nigeria Customs, FIRS, and the appointment of learned scholar Dr. kayode Fayemi as the minister of Solid minerals.Etc

We have also seen efforts to recover stolen money even though some term it political witch hunting. The almost dead EFCC whose duty was reduced to chasing Internet fraudsters popularly known as Yahoo boys have suddenly rosen up to their responsibilities. Fraudsters like Olisah Metuh, Dansuki and the likes are already feeling the heat.

Efforts to recover stollen money is also a form of blocking revenue leakages.

The fact remains that APC led government can not correct the 16 years rot of PDP in less than a year and it is illogical to blame the current economic woes on the newly elected president. Only the blind will not see President Buhari is really working to make Nigeria great again.

SO FAR SO GOOD, PRESIDENT BUHARI IS PERFORMING ECONOMIC MIRACLES, HE HAS NOT EVEN BORROWED TO PAY ANY SALARIES

God bless the Federal Rubublic of Nigeria

NB: I am a die hard APC supporter with No Apologies!!!!

If you go to my old posts, I put up similar articles as far back as 2013 warning Nigeria about "Future" low oil prices and the need to curb wastage; I was met with insults. Most of those posts were deleted when (suspected) PDP miscreants hacked this site and started removing posts unfavorable to the ineffectual buffoon's reelection. One or two still remain, I think.

Nigerians just lack critical thinking and foresight. Hopefully, all this will be corrected in the next generation if the Government funds education as its supposed to because most of this generation is lost already, and the powers that be should just accept that sad fact.

engrflames:
Is Tompolo now a ghost? Incompetent officers, dey no wan die but dey wan go heaven,

How are they incompetent? Your daft Goodluck Jonathan made a terrorist richer than the Police Force yet you put blame on them for not being able to find him. Dont forget this is a man that owns one (maybe two) Private jets, war boats and was earning hundreds of millions of Dollars,annually, from the last Administration just to stoke war flames.

The incompetent one is the person that put your country in this dire situation.

Omenkata:
because Nigeria is being governed by the most useless incompetent hopeless president ever.
the illiterate from Daura that only knows how the meals of his private jet tastes because as a useless old hag cattle rearing bastard vagabond he is, he prefers junketing around the world showing the world his useless old face than sticking his nyanch in Nigeria and deliver the dividend of democracy.

a man with a charlatan like lair Muhammed as a minister is doomed to fail
no amount of propaganda will save his useless self.

shame to the worst president ever since the rise of civilization and democracy

Notice everyone else is talking Economic policies and solutions and you just changed the topic to "Everyone look at me I have a Mental illness".

Go take your medication.

These kinds of things are the results of corruption.

The money meant for the training of the Military and the driver on how to conduct themselves in civilized manners have been siphoned yet some people defend the corrupt class not understanding the impact on their lives.

For example, why are military officers on civilian streets? If adequate funds had been put in proper places, this is the job of the police. Simply turn on your blue lights, pull the erring driver to the side, check that his license is valid using the database in your squad car's computer, issue him a ticket if you think he's at fault and let him go settle it with the courts; you've done your job.

In fact, no human interaction is even needed if cameras that can capture your license plates are put in place. Once the radar detects that you violated a traffic law e.g beat a red light, or went over the speed limit, a ticket is mailed to your address on file and you either pay the fine, incur penalties or spend time and money going to court to plead your innocence.

It's so easy to get a society to run efficiently, but corruption has messed up Nigerians so bad that they don't even know their rights from their left anymore.

kissval1388:
mod if u don't ban this guy, I will quit nairaland.
he just broke a law buy calling the o.p an idiot. I rest my case

If I had called him "Intelligent" wouldn't that have been breaking the law, seeing as that would've been a clear lie and insult to intelligent people?

Why does the truth hurt most of you?

thunder74:
How is that a crime?
I have some investment in shares, real estate etc and people are managing it for me. Does that make me a criminal?
Did you also observed where one of the witnesses said Metuh had no dealings with Dasuki and the 2M dollars is not from arms money and no documents from Efcc to back the allegations.

It's understandable that you'd like to justify an obvious crime, and for that matter, one of this magnitude. After all, most of your generation knows nothing but disorganization, crime, confusion and corruption, but for once, please try to use your head.

betterABIAstate:
intertown roads don't have sidewalks. Please be reasonable.

You clearly don't know what a sidewalk is.

IyaIode:
Add China, India and Brazil to your list to sound logical. Greece and Argentina didn't fail because of falling currency value. Sanctions killed Zimbabwe.

China and India discouraged importation of finished goods, that's why they are economic powers today. Nigeria should do same.

Exporters are smiling to the bank with the value of the naira.

Thank you!

Most of them just come on here pretending like they know what they're talking about.

Seun:
It worked marvelously in Argentina, Greece, and Zimbabwe. Why not Nigeria? /s

So, the above mentioned economies crumbled because imports were stifled?

You're either averse to the truth or pretending you know more than you actually do.

Kestolovee95:
See this yoruba man that always deny his rusted roof background calling someone an idddiot. Have you smelt your armpit today, Mr yoruba dirty.

I just saw your profile picture.

ROFLMAOoooooooooo

Like what the Bleep is wrong with some ladies?


Okay, she's my official girlfriend and her birthday was yesterday, so I took her to a Boutique to get her some things she requested.
I told her I have just 30k to spend, cos I know she can buy things worth 80k if you're not careful.
At the end of the whole *Bae, am I beautiful?*parade the sales attendant calculated the total sum to be #29,500.

When I checked my pocket, I found out that I had only 29k on me. I forgot we bought fuel on our way.
So, I told my girlfriend to borrow me 1k...and I promised to return later in the day, but she said "Babe, I swear to god, I don't have any money on me at the moment"
So, to safe the embarrassment, I went to the ATM to get more money. We paid and left.

To cut the story short. When we got home, she went to ease herself in the rest room, while I was in the living room.
Then her phone began to ring so, I opened her bag to get the phone, but I was shocked by what I saw.
I saw 1thousand naira notes inside her bag. Na so I vex comot all the money put am for my pocket. Later, she come dey ask if I took any money from her bag and I replied "I thought you don't have any money on you"

I returned the money though, but I've been angry since yesterday.


If you were in my shoes, will you continue with this kind of relationship or not?

No, she's using you. Dump her.

SOHO SHOULDN'T DENY NNAMDI KANU BAIL BASED ON 'PROBABILITY RULING'
Thursday, 18 February 2016
JUSTICE JOHN TSOHO SHOULDN'T DENY NNAMDI KANU BAIL, BASED ON 'PROBABILITY RULING'
By Ibeh Gift Amarachi
For Family Writers
No where in the World where a Judge will make a ruling based on probability, Constitution and Laws will forever supersede probability and its stand in any Court of jurisdiction. If a Judge makes rulings based on probability, it means, that very Judge is not competent enough and should be fired. Justice John Tsoho made a ruling on the 29 of January at the Federal High Court Abuja and in his statement "Nnamdi Kanu will not be granted bail, because he is 'LIKELY TO JUMP BAIL' due to his dual possession of passport".
TSOHOI have exposed the meaningless, baseless and unconstitutional violation of the human right of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu the Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, due to his dual citizenship. But, it is very paramount to let the World know that, the total reasons for the denial of bail of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu by Justice John Tsoho the puppet Judge of tyrant Mohammadu Buhari, who is actually in charge of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu's case,is totally Fraudulent, Unconstitutional, Illegal, A violation of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu's right and a slap on not just Nigeria judiciary but every Court of jurisdiction.
I will like to drag your attention to this probability ruling "BECAUSE HE IS LIKELY TO JUMP BAIL". What an insult to the Court of jurisdiction, which indicates that Justice John Tsoho schooled in an environment, that is not conducive for learning, for him not to have understood what he was taught in Law School. It is only a Judge with good training that wouldn't let a Hundred Million Naira bribe becloud his thought of reasoning, by not making rulings based on the Law to expose his standard of education. One will ask, what moves are members of the Nigeria Judiciary taking, in other to stop the dragging of Nigeria judiciary into the mud by Justice John Tsoho through Citizen Nnamdi Kanu's case? Just speaking against this barbaric ruling in your bedroom, has no effect in the removal of the stain on the white cloth of Law. An unabated action must be taken, because a probability ruling is a slap to every court of jurisdiction.
You don't use a dicey and probability ruling, to keep ones right in hostage. The right of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu must stop been trampled on, based on a probability ruling. He must be granted bail and must not be denied his human right, due to a laughable probability ruling. Citizen Nnamdi Kanu have been tortured and assaulted both in Nigeria secret chamber and as well publicly in the court of Law,by DSS and even Kuje Prison warders for over 90days,against the Nigeria Constitution, which tyrant Mohammadu Buhari and Puppet Justice John Tsoho,considers trashy by replacing it with their personal constitutions, which includes "Probability Ruling". If John Tsoho wants to practicalise the new Self Probability Constitution, then it must not be on the human right of Citizen Nnamdi Kanu. He should use such personal law, against Zarah Buhari and Senator Bukola Saraki who are in possession of dual passport and release Citizen Nnamdi Kanu whose right has been trampled unlawfully and against humanity.

You're an idi.ot!

The same reason why someone i.e of Foreign/Nigerian descent that is accused of committing a serious crime here, has NEVER been outside the United States, but has (familial) "ties" to Nigeria will NEVER be granted bail is the same reason Nnamdi Kanu is still being kept in custody: It is called being a FLIGHT RISK!

Imbe*ciles like yourself, need to stop misinforming the public.

HiddenShadow:
Keep deceiving yourself. What stops Buhari from diversifying the economy through true federalism

Just two sentences and you show that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Goodluck Jonathan destroyed Nigeria, and this is the result.
