Foreign Affairs / Re: France Paid Canada 200 Dollars Per Kg Of Uranium And Niger 50 Cents For Same by ivolt: 7:41pm On Apr 03 |
And this is one of the "youth" who is tired of old people ruling him. Let us even assume you can't tell the difference between a propaganda channel and a new source. It is a shame that you couldn't apply simple analysis to the "news" you read. First, nobody pays $200 per kg of uranium from any country and secondly Niger has never been paid 50 cents for its uranium. Finally, Niger's economic growth is being powered by its expanding oil export not Uranium. |

Stop blaming IMF. It has the freedom of speech and can say whatever it likes as it always do to countries seeking loan from it. The blame should be placed on the person implementing the so-called advice. 2 Likes |

idahme: I ask edyou a simple question and you responded with articles you either didn't read or couldn't understand. In fact, your article buttressed my point that sperm are largely useless in the scheme of things regardless of what DNA test says. Let me help you with a quote from your supporting article.
Sperm donors are irrelevant as far as children custody is concerned. They can even end up in jail if they try to claim a couples child child in Northern Nigeria, regardless of what DNA said. Except under extraordinary circumstance where a child is stolen or bought, DNA gives sperm donor zero rights over a couple's children. The original father remains the father unless he choose to forfeit his right. I hope you have been properly schooled. |

‘I’ve worked with him for 32 years and now I want to be on my own, I’ve tried! They should just leave me in peace’, he begged.If he really want to be on his own, he would have left quietly as many has done over the years. But what he wants is extra compensation so he can stop granting interviews. It doesn't make sense reconciling with someone who allegedly used him as a salve for decades. 2 Likes |

Crime / Re: Erisco And Chioma Case Disgraces Nigeria In Britain by ivolt: 6:51am On Apr 01 |
Babalegba:When this type of case comes up. The most important question whether a law has been broken. Not sentiment not morality, but a matter of legality. If the man had used his police connection to arrest an arsonist or a product counterfeiter, would you people have complained? Of course, not, in fact, he would be seen as a hero. In a working system, Erisco would not need police connection to get Chioma prosecuted. I searched for the illegality on the police part in your post but I didn't see. Also, I checked your post for the specific harassment Chioma suffers but you didn't mention it too. I supposed you think flying a suspect to Abuja, questioning her and detaining her is intimidation and harassment. No, it isn't. Not in Nigeria. Many suspects undergo the same regularly without it making the news and even when it does, nobody cares. Binance executives were recently detained using unethical ploys. Nobody complained because they did something wrong. But this is civil case you argue, it isn't according to the Nigerian law, there is something called criminal defamation and more recently the anti-cyberstalking law. When this law was being debated, it got widespread support because people wants consequence for fake news and online harassment. Those who raised objections were mocked as troublemakers and bigots who hates the then government. By the way, Nigeria does not exist for other countries pleasure. And in your darling UK, insulting a fellow brit online can get you 5 years jail time. Something that is unheard of even in Banana republics. If you want more civility in the legal system, you have to work for it. And more importantly, always write against such treatment even when the suspect is a "bad" person and not an online celebrity reviewer. Personally, I prefer the US system where people can say what they like but face the possibility of being sued for every dime they have ever earned. 1 Like |
Celebrities / Re: Nobody Has The Right To Tell Me To Do A DNA Test - Mohbad’s Widow, Wunmi (video) by ivolt: 8:06pm On Mar 31 |
broadman20:Irritating you? You must be one of the educated illiterates who thinks street sense is the same thing as legality. I know it is very hard for you guys to accept a world where sentiments is immaterial. If Mohbad's father really wants a DNA test, he should go get a court order. It is that simple. Personally, the widow should accept a DNA test and then bar Mohbad's father from having access to the child. That will be the best way of teaching the man a lesson. He should go to court to fight for visiting right to a child he constantly subjected to social media abuse. 1 Like 1 Share |

I can't see the issue with your lead. Stating that she is the one catering for you should not be a big deal. After all, parents and husbands also say the same thing when things go south. No, you can't treat a financial contributor and giver same way you will treat a taker. |

Business / Re: Naira gain: Pressure Mounts On FX Hoarders To Sell Off Dollars by ivolt: 2:19pm On Mar 25 |
AL1ENWARE:The primary cause of the inflation especially for local goods is the increase in petrol price, not dollar rate. The dollar rate also contribute especially for imported goods or those that depends on imported parts. Of course, Naira gaining should also affect prices but you should only look at how much Naira gains in the official market and not the black market. Finally, it takes time for such gain to materialise in prices as long as they are not temporary. |
Politics / Re: Zakari Mijinyawa Confirms Escape Of Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance Executive by ivolt: 2:13pm On Mar 25 |
He fled because he knew that Binance would not bail them out even if they are held forever. The FG has just lost one of its shaky leverage over Binance. Binance will rather let the executives rot in jail than accede to FG's request. |
Business / Re: Naira gain: Pressure Mounts On FX Hoarders To Sell Off Dollars by ivolt: 2:12pm On Mar 25 |
Omoawoke:There is always speculation but speculators don't determine the exchange rate in strong economies. They make averagely marginal profit within a small time windows. Even in Nigeria, speculators wait for government announcements before making any move. They don't start a trend, they just amplify it. As to the real rate, you are right, there is no magical real rate setter anywhere. It should ideally be dynamic and determined by demand and supply. But in the case of Nigeria, I opine the "real rate" is any rate in which the speculators are content with marginal profit due to slight natural fluctuations in prices and are not looking forward to a near-term massive fall or rise. So to find out the "real rate" CBN will have to experiment with its rate fixing to find out but I doubt it wants to find out and risk losing control of the rate once again. |

Business / Re: Naira gain: Pressure Mounts On FX Hoarders To Sell Off Dollars by ivolt: 9:11am On Mar 24 |
Richtaiwo:That is not how it works. When the dollar was floated, it fell freely too fast due to the believe of many that a floated Naira will keep falling. Hence they bet against it. The CBN made a U-turn and fixed it. Along with crackdown on outside bank trades, it regained some value. Now nobody knows the "real" rate. Not the CBN and not the traders. If the traders sense that a CBN fixed rate is too low, they will start massive buying again and it will start rising again. 51 Likes 5 Shares |
