the solution is this

make 1000, 500, 200 and 100 nairra coins. and lower denominations notes.

I think you are right Duality.

I remember we stopped using coins around the time heavy 1 naira coins was introduced.

Thank God for internet forums. It is a great place to learn.
In my opinion I do not think Nigeria's problem is number of state it has. The major thing that should be pursued with all sincerity is Rule of Law. There should be strict law enforcement in every sector of the nation. If we have just 6 geopolitical zones as suggested by Mr Anyaoku and structures are not put in place to ensure people abide by state laws I fore see a worse off nation.
I think also that having more financial control in more people's hand is far better than money being held/controlled by few super powerfuls (even now I think of the issue of King Makers and the evil they perpetrate under present structure). Some way or the other money spreads around.
We must not forget that what we need in this country is for things to work and work efficiently too. Human being have the tendency to do some level of criminal acts and get away with it. It is when strict adherence to regulations/laws is enforced that people will sit right and do right. The Rule of Law should be so entrenched that 'sacred cows' are 'slaughtered' by the law just like any other animal when they break the law.

I am on the lookout for people that will change their stance about this team and Siasia when we move on to next round.

SURAH LXXIII

Al-Muzammil takes its title from a word in verse 1. After his first trance and vision, the prophet went to his wife Khadijah and told her to wrap him up in cloaks, and that was afterwards his habit on such occasion,

SURAH LXXIV

Al-Mudath-thir takes its name from a word in verse 1. The prophet was accustomed to wrap himself in his cloak at the time of his trances…

There is an introduction to the English Quran, some excerpt from part one:

The first Revelation: (somewhere in the 2nd paragraph)
He was asleep or in a trance when he heard a voice say: “Read!” He said: “I cannot read.” The voice again said: “Read!” He said: “I cannot read” A third time the voice, more terrible commanded …

Somewhere in the 4th paragraph
The words (Quran*) which came to him (Muhammed*) when in a state of trance, are never confounded with those which he (Muhammed*) uttered when no physical change was apparent in him (Muhammed*).

* I have added the asterisked word in bracket for better understanding.

I have read and listened to people who had encounters with spirits.

@ Olabowale
Now consider this, Christianity or Jesus, in any clear sense, without the usual Christian deductive process, is not mentioned in the Jewish Torah. Whereever you see "Jesus" name in the Torah, please direct us to it.

I am yet to read the Jewish Torah.

The first comforter is Jesus (Matthew 11: 28-30, the “another comforter” Jesus made reference to is the Holy Spirit. Read John 14:17

The Holy Spirit, God, Jesus have been in existence before the foundation of the world. Note: I wrote earlier concerning Jesus; “Even before Jesus Christ's birth by Mary…” So also the period of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit is now.

You may have read about the earthly ministry of Jesus, how he went about doing good, preaching the gospel, healing the sick, casting out evil spirit from people possessed by evil spirit. Jesus told his disciples in Acts 1:4-8 which reads:  4and, being assembled with them, commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which said he ye have heard of me.  5For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
6They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?  7And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;  8but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
It is the Holy Spirit at work in a Christian’s life that makes him/her do the things that Jesus referred to as the signs that will follow them that believe.

@ Olabowale
If this statement was even to be remotely true, then it is either that those who Jesus addressed are still alive right now. Are they? Or that some people are alive right now that have the exact same nature like the audience of Jesus, in belief and worship of God and also recognising the exact place of Jesus. This people are not undermining him, Jesus, like the Jews who denied his prophethood, or exaggerating his personage by deitifying him, like the Christians. Is there a group like that around today? Yes. They are called Muslims. The muslims believe that all prophets and Messengers and those who worshipped God Almighty in the way prescribed to this prophets and messengers are muslims.

If I understand what you mean, you first expressed doubt about the authenticity of the statement: Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but all of you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. Just immediately after this you wrote:  “Is there a group like that around today? Yes. They are called Muslims.”

@ Fellis
There is truth in what I typed. I wrote that I read the Quran in English. It has been sometime though, I still have it (Quran) I will give you the exact reference tomorrow by God's grace.
One speaks in tongue as the Holy Spirit gives uttererance. This is one of the signs that Jesus said will manifest in the lives of those who believe in Him Mark 16:17 which reads: And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

@ Olabowale
I intentionally used most because of the fact that other religions existed then. The ones that are mentioned were meant to warn the Israelites the futility of serving such gods.
The Holy Spirit is the Comforter talked about by Jesus John 14: 16-17 -  16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees him not, neither knows him: but all of you know him; for he dwells with you, and shall be in you. Romans is the title given to the letter written by Paul to Christians.

Maybe we should also think in this direction. There are so many other religions in the world today e.g. Buddhism, Hinduism, Ifa worship, Osun worship the list goes on, most of them were not mentioned in the Bible.

Even before Jesus Christ's birth by Mary there have been several other religion practised by human beings on earth. Why should you now try to put Muhammad in the Bible?

Why didn’t any of this get mentioned in the Bible? Is it that God doesn’t know about these religions? Romans 1: 19 -32.

I have been opportuned to read the Quran in English. The description of how Muhammad received the Quran is similar to someone being under the control of some spirit. Experiences similar to someone using an Ouija board and the like. He did have a lot of physical manifestation in the process that supports that

Seanny why will you post an adware on this forum? Uhm?

Nairalanders this is an adware link don't click it, stay clear!

You may find the link below useful:

The basic principle that windmill operates on is the fact that when a coil of wire is rotated in a magnetic field, electric current flows in the wire. The electricity generated is tapped from the coil of wire using split rings.

You will have to construct propellers, connect it to the structure having coil of wire on it to rotate the coil. You will also need very powerful cylindrical-shaped magnet that the coil of wire will turn inside of.

You may look for a bicycle dynamo to get a practical idea of how to go about constructing your project. Wish you success!

You will get 'file corrupt' message if your internet connection is disrupted while downloading file. You may try to download the file using a better connection or you may try to download at night when there is more likelihood of consistent signal.

Possible reasons why the replacement cable may not work: > sub-standard cable (there are too many 'fake' ethernet cables in the market these days > bad crimping (you can verify if the cable is well crimped using a lan tester, in the absence of which u may physically examine and ensure that the right cable colour at one RJ45 end matches the other for straight - through cable, check u have a rollover of what you have at one RJ45 end at the other end, if rollover cable is used.

Most modern switch support autosensing technology i.e. the switch will automatically detect the type of cabling used either straight-through or rolled over and operate accordingly.  If your switch doesn't support autosensing then use rolled over cabling.

It is clear that Nigerians don't want to spend coins. Take for instance the recent increase in pure water price from N5 to N10 just after the reintroduction of coins. If we really want to be carrying coins about, shouldn't it have been increased to say N7? I think the government should have make the coins in paper notes which everybody I believe is comfortable with instead.

I personally don't think we have to re-introduce coins into the Nigerian economy. Nigerians don't like carrying coins. I think it is better to keep on minting notes. And as for the re-introduced denominations, it should be in paper form too.
