My question to you is which imported product is taking almost our forex in the last 5-8 years?

The question is irrelevant.
It is just like asking which food is taking a large part of a salary.
Whether you switch from beans to rice makes little impact.
What matters is if you decide to start fasting to save money or get a new job with increased salary.

Economics looks simple but some aspect are counterintuitive.

Paraman:
Nigeria spent over $10 billion importing refined crude last year, If the Dangote refinery can take care of Nigeria needs, are you telling me will still be dashing out over $10 billion dollars to foreign refiners?

Please explain, I want to learn.

First, Nigeria does not dash out any money.
It buys goods it needs at international price.

The government get its forex primarily from oil export.
If Dangote refinery sells in Naira, it means it will pay for the crude it buys
from the NNPC in Naira too.
So, the government will be getting less forex than it used to unless it strictly
sells to Dangote from increased crude production.
Of course, some forex will be saved in the process due to the extra value created
and also shipping costs assuming Dangote can produce at a competitive rate.

This only applies to local market, whatever Dangote export is a positive for the government.

Paraman:
Nigeria won't need to spend over $10 billion importing refined crude again. It will have a positive effect on the naira on the short, medium and long run

That's not how it works.
Some forex will be saved but nothing close to $10 billion.

Gentlesoul2021:
I paid September 17 and what was written on the agreement is August...

It is what is written on the agreement that carries weight.
So, you rent is due by august.
You should have negotiated for the extension of the due date when
paying your first rent.

justmondris:
They were not in charge of Afghanistan. They were fighting them but they fled after 12 years of wasted effort.

Is the FG in charge of Nigeria or they are fighting bandits or terrorists?
Is Mexican government in charge or fighting drug cartels?

When did you pay?
September 1 or september 30?
What date was written on the agreement?
Those are the things that matter.

naturalman:
Nonsense question.

People who doesn't drink are mostly prone to depression and anxiety....
The truth is that people who does not drink are very rude, wicked and brutal, they always harbour anger, they are so sensitive to everything and most women don't like them because they are too serious and funless.

Very dumb submission.
Actually, campaigns to ban alcohol were spearheaded by woman
because drunk men are a danger to their wives and children.

Another thing about people who doesn't drink is that they womanize a lot, they are womanizers and gossip alot. They can dash women all their money...

It is the other way around, you ignoramus.

It is almoist impossible to find a womanizer who doesn't drink.
Drinking is like a lifeline or motivation for womanizers, they drink, then womanize,
that is the pattern.

The op is insulting based on ignorance.
He is neither a chairman nor councillor.

Educated illiterates everywhere.

It is likely a drug/Yahoo deal gone wrong.

Bigchristo:
You don’t even know what you’re saying, Sweden and Finland joining NATO isn’t Russia’s problem, Ukraine is like a brother to Russia and they both in same Soviet Union before they were breakaway, it’s simple Russia has already deployed troops close to all borders between Finnish and Sweden, the Ukraine you said to be the poorest country in Europe have military capabilities than Sweden and Finland In combined, don’t just come here and spew nonsense 😂😂😂

There is nothing like "brother" in international politics. A country is either
a puppet, an ally or an enemy. And decisions are made based on such characterizations.

Russia invading Ukraine has nothing to do with NATO.
Ukraine couldn't even apply.
Sweden and Finland, planned to apply, debated for months and eventually joined with
Russia doing nothing but barking.

Deploying troops near their borders is meaningless if NATO is the great devil Putin make
them to be. If it was about NATO, Putin could just have deployed troops near Ukraine border too
and leave it at that.

I will leave the real logical reason for the invasion as an exercise for you.

justmondris:
You think he has been fighting only Ukraine? US spent more than 12 years in charge of small Afghanistan and left.

Fixed

This dumb Ode again.
If there is such money at this crucial time, Tinubu will jump at it and not waste time negotiating.

UselessBuharist:
Exactly my thoughts, again I don’t think GPS works well in Nigeria

GPS works well everywhere.

hmmn

Fake story.

DMerciful:
The guy showed you proof based on her bio that she's a muslim but you never showed any proof that she's not, just shifting the arguement.

You have serious comprehension problems if you equate being
born into Saudi family with being a muslim.
Even if her father is the grand imam of Saudi, it means nothing.

Don't bother replying without the requested evidence, I don't do childish back
and forth. Direct evidence or nothing.

DMerciful:
You're arguing blindly

Please answer the question.
If you have any evidence that the woman is a muslim, present it.

Being born into a Saudi family does not make a person, a muslim.

Area boys already collect tax for their godfathers forcefully.
They can be ruthless when refused, those are not the kind of tex collectors we need.

Nothing to see here.
It is all rumours.

matify83:
How many times are they handing him over ?

I feel they should have kept his arrest under wraps until the other 2 fleeing accomplices were caught.

Chinaza may end up being the fall guy for all the vexatious kidnapping that has been happening in and around the FCT.

He is no fall guy unless no more mass kidnappings happen after his arrest.

TruthHurts1:
Princess Ameerah is 100% a Saudi Arabian


https://www.hostpic.org/images/2401211828250104.jpg

Please where in your screenshot was she identified as a muslim?
Did you just post something you did not read?

TruthHurts1:
She is 100% a Saudi Arabian Muslim

You have no idea how Saudi society operates.

She is likely a non-muslim.
Non-muslim who marries Saudi princes often retain their
premarital religious freedoms.

That said, the head to to covers for women are control tools. It is very obvious.

kettykin:
It seems these people didn't learn anything from the Civil war, if you had killed Nnamdi kanu, it would nor have gone down so easy

Nothing would have happened.
A Nigerian fugitive killed in Kenya, not in government custody, will only make news for a few weeks.

How about the cars, houses and furnishings?
I am not aware the LASG has changed the pension law.

idtiwo:
Genotype changes for reason unknown to me. Before i got married, my fiancee and I went for genotype test in a reputable lab recommended by her church as that was the first condition given to us by her church before we could start marriage counselling. When we finished counseling in her church, it was the turn of my own church to do another round of counselling and they also referred us to do a genotype test which we also complied with.

Both labs sent our results directly to the two churches and the results were AA for both of us. Five years into the marriage after we've had two kids already, she had a medical issue and they had to do medical test for her and behold, her genotype result was AS. This shocked me and both of us had to go do another test in another lab again to confirm the new test result and while mine remained AA , her was confirmed again as AS. When the marriage clocked 15 years, myself and her and all our kids went for a fresh round of genotype test and all of us except my wife are AA with my wife as the only AS.

So genotype does change but i don't know the medical mystery behind it.

It doesn't change!
Someone played a game or the labs were contaminated! Yes it happens.
Genotype doesn't change.

Dzzzz:
I was born AS and the last time I did a check they said am AA so the best advice is to run a third party check..Health wise genotype can change due to some little glitches in life.So do a third party check up

Don't mislead people.
There is no "glitch" that can change your genotype.

PrinceofSarcasm:
I knew it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

All the hype around the substandard trash our producers were making was all propaganda.

I knew they weren't getting good stream numbers. Why on earth will I use my hard earned Prime subscription to watch home videos ? All those She must be obeyed and tribe of judah nonsense are things I only watch from free of I ever want to watch such nonsense . I download them and watch free only

Stop thinking like an illiterate.
This kind of decision are made based on the overall market potential and not one off successes.
There is nothing hidden about movie business.
Just subtract the production cost from revenue.
And what is left tell the producers whether to continue.

Mushroom group of disgruntled ex-officials.
If you like cry, if you like wail, if you like jump into the river.
Lucky will complete his term.
And if care is not taken, the political civil war they are nurturing
will end up benefitting PDP.

Goodnewsforlife:
I am not making a case for Fulani herdsmen but the reality all Nigerians have to accept is that there are criminals in all tribe n if we keep looking for d easiest route out by always shouting fulanis herdsmen, even people around us will commit crime n we will keep shouting fulanis n they will keep doing it cos they already have a way out due to our lack of intelligence

Stop whitewashing Fulani bandits.
You are the one blaming Fulani.
Neither the victims, their neighbors or the state government mention anything like Fulani.
If you think posting deflectional stories on non-bandit crimes will make people starts loving Fulani
kidnapping gang, then you have just taking up an impossible job.

Even the major victims who are Fulani's do not deny the identity of their tormentors.
Maybe you will also tell us how one random hit and run driver turn out to be not a Fulani man!

Ngasky:
so this is the fulani herdsman
the day we started considering crime a crime not ethnic profiling then with local support all these crimes will be eradicated.
No ransom payment no matter what and local support for the security agencies are the 2 things that can bring this to a full stop

Stop fooling yourself.
We know exactly those who engage in forest and highway kidnapping.
We know how they move with hundreds of bike with AKs strapped to their backs.
They don't even hide it as they regularly post updates on social media.
Parading a soft target kidnapper doesn't absolve the chattel gangs of their ongoing crimes.

Since you know the easy solution to these problem, it is time you join the police.

Truvelisback:
I think it isn't safe either because of the use of U.S.S.D code.

How is it not safe?
The scammers will disappear into his house to use the torchlight phone?
