If you've ever remitted dollars before you would have easily understood. At this point i'm done talking with you.

Oga, that nigga get point. As far as I'm concerned, the BDCs get the dollars they sell in the black market through the CBN. If they have to depend only on individuals who sell their dollars to them, then I can guarantee you that the Dollar would be scarcer(sic) than it is today. I'm an importer, and I know how much dollars I need monthly for biz, and I have not placed an order for it and I did not get. The dollars are always available on the black market- the only problem is price. It's this unending availability of dollars in the black market that made me think twice about how BDCs get the dollars they sell in the black market

Lol. And u're still calling her baby. You're not serious. Which other way do u want to show her that you don't love her. U take her out, make urself available for gist until u went busy, call her baby and dear and u expect her not to think you both have something going. Give an average woman a little attention, call her pet names boom she's already entitled to your space. Worse is wen u sleep with her, ahhh she becomes entitled to your spirit sef then finally give her belle aaaaahhh that means you came to this world only for her. The annoying thing is that u guys know this but choose to be a player or badass. Continue until you jam the one that will lock you inside bottle. How can u say u never showed her u loved her. Wallahi you're not serious.

The way I take dey look you and this your comment sef . The same thing wey una dey get mind do my gender, e reach una turn, complaints come full basket?

Baby(in Op's style )....this vawulence shall never cease to exist. Na fire for fire. Una scam us, we dupe una. Las las everybody go dey alright

Op, I don dey your shoes before, so I understand this kind package. Op no say im no want make im paddy f##k the babe, im stand na say the hook-up no go pass through am. And to be sincere, with the current state of things, it would jeopardize his relationship with the babe.

The reason for this is simple: even hook-up babes would want some "gf" treatment if they meet a guy they really fancy. As they show these guys that they fancy them through "free f##k$", they also expect these guys to treat them with some form of respect and value. Right now it's more than hook-up for them....a better form of mutual relationship is developing. For that guy, they would open their legs without a price tag and let him enjoy himself. Pimping her out to your friend suggests that you don't share the same feelings she's building for you, and if she finds out, she will feel "disrespected" in her mind, and will be forced to review whether special treatment she's giving you.

Op, you're in order, as far as I'm concerned. Just make sure you don't catch too much feelings. A hoe is still a hoe, irrespective of whether she has voluntarily turned herself into your "wife". At best, fake your feelings, and keep enjoying your thing If your friend is serious about getting that hoe laid, then he should approach her himself. Don't do it for him

Teazerr4:
those hungry kids has no, or short memory, I won’t blame em thou, nah cnn brainwashed em, the goal from the start na the Donbass region. Any other region wey follow na jara…

The Donbass goal will be achieved even if it means using more destructive weapons on Kiev, at this point I no dey rule out “Nuke”, na why USA is afraid be that, why did their Top general called Russia’s Major General few days ago,asking for ceasefire and some other conditions like that to end the invasion… why now? Did Russia tell em they’re tired, they are only scared of one possibility na “ICBM”, as much as blood go Dey Putin’s hands, USA and NATO go share the blame to, I’m not talking about viral condemnation, maybe some conscience shit….you can’t approve $40B for a country and be looking for ceasefire, read in between the line.

If they were so sure Ukraine stand a chance, or Ukraine is really winning as dem Dey spread am on their sick media platforms, why are they calling now, since 24 of Feb wey war don start, dem sabi say dey don over weaponize Ukraine, and based on history, I mean what happened in Syria, dem sabi the kind of man wey Putin be, and that he can be very ruthless. I seriously pray Kyiv don’t get nuked, but I won’t be surprised tho… cos once Donbass is secured and they won’t stop attacking, mehn na to drop one ICBM on Kyiv, everybody go calm down, heaven will not fall, nato will only bark , life goes on.

These are my opinions tho, cos you don’t push a super nuclear country into a corner, he can fight back however he choose. This is war, all if fair in war.

Make dem kwantinu to dey poke the bear

Abeg if I don’t quote you, ignore my post like a plague.

No mind them. Let Ukraine keep winning on social media. We'd still know the truth sooner or later

Daum:
I hear you
Special Adviser to Putin

So you think Russia can fight on multiple fronts right now

I'm not a Russian, but for the Finnish President to call Putin, it means something. Make of that whatever you wish

The fact that the Finnish President had to call Putin to ask for his views about NATO membership is very remarkable. Of course he wanted to know if Putin has reserved the same package he gifted to Zelensky for him. Trust Putin at this stage to not reveal plans to anyone again. So he had to be "calm and collected", while hiding his real intentions.

Who knows, he might attack Finland or not. But right now he's busy with Ukraine. If stopping Ukraine from joining NATO would mean to annex the whole of Ukraine, then so be it, for I'm very much sure that he won't stop at the Donbass.

hope4nigeria:
even a comander in Russian army don't know what you know. Hmmm Nigerians! I dey hail oh

The facts I stated are not hidden. They are not even secrets by any stretch of the imagination. The British and the Canadian soldiers that were captured some weeks ago, shebi they were also Ukrainian citizens? Abi dem come Ukraine come find their mama missing pants?

NATO has dropped boots in Ukraine. It's just not official yet

hope4nigeria:
Russian say Ukraine will fall in just six days, now it's 3months! If you ask me, everything is gearing towards Russian loosing this war because almighty Russian couldn't fall Ukraine in 90days yet she wants to fight NATO and Americans? That's suicidal

If dem no tell you, you no sabi say Russia don already dey fight NATO, even though the thing never dey official? Abi na till CNN carry am for headlines before you go sabi wetin dey sup?

Think brother, e get why Russian forces hurriedly leave Kyiv after weeks of beseiging it. It wasn't because Ukrainian forces were outgunning them, far from it. There was probably an Intel that foreign mercenaries(NATO armies) wanted to pass through Transnistra in Moldova to open another front just outside Russia. That was why the Russians fell back from the North in such haste, and has since then concentrated their campaign in the Eastern and Southern regions of Ukraine. Now NATO would have to pass through these legions in Donbass and Luhansk before they can invade the Motherland. No be everything news go tell you. Sometimes, add up one or two with your head.

Women seem to be more intelligent and wiser than men. Just few men rank higher.

You sound like a really bitter person. I hope you are ok chief. Wish you health and healing

Just as you sounded like a needy individual. I hope you are ok too. Wish you better doses of self-esteem.

A reasonable man just needs some immutable facts from two opposing narratives and he would reach a logical conclusion which is most likely the truth.

Truth be told, if Russia was having an unsuccessful time if Ukraine, just as Western narratives would always assert, by now NATO would have fully swung into action in Ukraine to end the Russian military campaign and Putin's "madness" once and for all. But up till now, NATO hasn't dropped boots in Ukraine's sake. For sure it's not a stroll in the park, but I would find it hard to believe that the Russians are losing. Even the rouble that was nearly turned to "rubble some weeks ago by the effects of sanctions, is getting more valuable on a daily basis.

jrusky:
Nice one. You do not only lack sense you don't have in the first place.

Mr fool, you dnt know Russia than I do I don't need to keep repeat myself. NATO and the West are not fighting Russia they are only protecting the sovereign existence of Ukrain and trying to halt the war becoming bigger issue unfortunately block brain dude like taking it out of context and begin to vomit thrash.

If you want to set a stag for verbal confrontation I'm ready for you bumper to bumper I will trim your brain to factory setting.

Sovereign wetin? Oga nothing like sovereignty in this world o. Abi you were blind when Honduras bound the ex-President and his brother and handed him over to the US today like a common criminal? How many criminals of American nationality have America extradited to Honduras and other countries for trial? Abeg Putin should ride on with his campaign in Ukraine.

Guy make I no hear "sovereignty" again. Only few countries in the world are truly sovereign

You might be killing your happiness by not putting that ring on her finger. If she is right for you, pls go for it. You are not other people, and thier respective situations aren't yours either

What do you mean by him killing his own happiness by not putting a ring on the lady's finger? Is his happiness absolutely dependent on marriage with the lady? Sorry to ask, but are you mad? What kind of generation is this kwanu that I found myself in? Even animals now have better reasoning than some human beings.

I no blame you. Na the person wey carry im gist come for market na im I blame

pansophist:
Actually in forward thinking societies, the institution of marriage have evolved or there are alternatives to legalised union that fits the current time. In Europe generally, there is something called cohabitation. I'll use Sweden as an example since I've lived there. According to Swedish law, there are multiple ways of showing you're in a union with someone, and just living together with shared bills are one of them.

If you want to break off, no need to go through divorce, just move out of the house. No alimony, spousal support, or a woman cashing out big time after divorce. So yea, it depends on the society but as Nigeria, everything is guaranteed to be backwards.

E go soon reach this side

We are gradually getting there...that era where marriage would be unattractive to all and sundry. Na "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" till the death parts the couple.

But this my gender sef...if women are economically empowered more than men in our current society, you'd be shocked at how they'd thrash the idea of marriage. But since it's the other way round, they won't want to lose grip on the "cows" they are milking emotionally, psychologically, sexually and most importantly, financially. How men don't still get this memo up till now shocks me. Maybe some of them do, but their sexual thirst clouds their reasoning till it becomes their undoing.

The world is MAD. Everyone is playing safe in other not to get hurt. I don't see why the institution of marriage, as we know it to be today, should not be extinct by the next 50 years. I expect other forms of male-female relationship that won't require such high level of commitment to displace it.

Excuzeme:
Thank you, that is the stewpidity of these NATO and EU spokespersons! No one can "scare" a Nuclear Power, they are beyond that level

Okay, let us assume that Russia launched a Missile into a "Weapons delivery Column meant for Ukraine", located in a NATO country on its border (Slovakia, for example).
Will NATO then try to attack Russia, right?
Will Russia keep quiet or will use it's "On Alert", Nuclear Attack on the whole of Europe and America?
What will America do? Attack Russia too, with Nuclear weapons, right?

Putin prefers such a "Big Nuclear War", than all these small skirmishes because compared to all the EU and America combined, he does not have the "numbers" but he has the "Ultimate weapon"!

At the end of the day, who will/can be left standing, in a Nuclear attack, with a country that has the highest number of Nuclear weapons (Russia)?


This is why l think NATO handlers are brainless.
They think Russia is afraid to die or use its weapons, when the risk is "existential" to its country, as it is appearing to be, right now?
Putin does not joke, he does not make threats and does not fool around, unlike the Americans.
Putin is like the Israelis, if he says he is ready to use Nuclear weapons, they better believe he will do so, if his country is threatened beyond a certain limit, by these Cultic Gang-Up of Europeans and Americans.

Game-On, abeg. Pikin wey say im Mama nor go rest, let me see how imself go sleep.

The Putin wey dem talk say dem use Ukraine set trap for don dey eye Finland with im massive artillery . This kind trap eh... I wonder o. As in person go set TRAPS for ONE SINGLE RAT and the RAT go dey jump from trap to trap like say na jangle-over?

Putin na big name abeg

MrBachelor:
He was baited. And unfortunately, they were right; he couldn't resist.

What did you people even mean by "he was baited"? Person tell you say im dey expect fight since....you dey here dey reason trap terminologies? Nawa to you o.

Putin wants a large-scale war. He's asking for one literally by invading Ukraine. He doesn't want WW3 to be fought when he's dead- he wants it in his lifetime. If US and NATO are bloodthirsty too, then they should meet him head-on. I no dey like make man dey talk like woman

pipnator00:
Cost or no cost, not when such is a threat to national security. Russias gas or whatever has become a threat to there national security.

Aside Qatar which is willing to sell to EU states, Norway or Sweden (Im not sure of the particular one now) has a gas pipeline that can be extended through Poland to other EU States.

When EU stops buying Russias gas, they can continue to beg to sell to China and India at a discounted price while bulk of $$$ realized from such trade will be extended to loan repayment.

At that time, Russia go get sense, come begging with there knees on ground for EU to continue buying from them.

Moreover, you think Russian banks have the financial muscle to continue financing such gas trade to India and China at cheap rates without asking for help from EU and US banks?

Remember gas trades are financed with loans and with all the sanctions on Russia, they can only get loans from secondary markets making it expensive which in turn makes gas sells to China and India expensive and in turn affects cost of production in China and India.

Russia will bow. The situation doesnt favor them.

The way some of una dey talk sef...by now we expected the Russian Rouble to have less value than Iranian Rial. A whole world power go crumble like say na Burundi na? Ok O. Na you get your brain. You can imagine anything you like. Nobody go fit arrest you for that one

Ibime:
Periods of supply shock are always followed by periods of demand shock. Go and ask Buhari what happened to oil price in 1980s after the oil crisis of 1970s caused by Iran. Also ask Buhari what happened to oil price in 2015 after the record prices of 2011 to 2014 caused by the Arab Spring. Producers ramp up supply when price is high to profit, leading to a glut. The Arab Spring sparked the Shale revolution that crashed price. In summary, if you dey sell something, don't get carried away thinking you are the boss. The buyer with the greenback is always the more powerful party. The West can spend money on energy longer than an enemy can stay solvent. Putin is shooting himself in the foot with AK47. Govt is not and should not be the major source of inflows, companies should drive it, and he's shut his companies out of markets except the energy suppliers who will also be phased out long-term.

Oga no dey write essay for me. You said the buyer is ALWAYS king. I pointed out certain situations where the seller would become god too. Chikena. Buhari...Shale revolution...Arab Spring.....all these ones na stories for the gods

Ibime:
Russia cannot afford to stop supply. They have neither the place to redirect nor the storage. In market, buyer always wins.

Always? Guy you do basic economics for secondary school na. If demand outweighs supply tremendously, which entails that there's a scarcity of the said commodity, what happens to PRICE? Who wins in this kind of situation?

simplesearch:
You and the person you quoted are poor business man. And I wonder if both of you have any significant business running in your favor, cos no good business man will speak this way. Just as a shepherd will leave 99 sheep in search of one, a good businessman value every single of his customer.You think it's a light thing if an individual buys your product on behalf of a million people or more? And FYI, do you know countries like that whose populace depend almost exclusively on gas usage even though with few population can consume the product far more than the whole of Nigeria and Ghana put together? If I may ask how much gas do we even consume in Nigeria with our humongous population? You seems not to know that Nigerian are now so poor that even people living in the cities opt for alternative means of cooking, due to low purchasing power. So it's not just about population but economic and purchasing power of a nation, otherwise India should be about the richest country on earth.

I think you're the one who's not really logical here, from a business and any other perspective. "The customer is always right" saying...fails in this sense. A bright business will always create a healthy balance between customer patronage and its own standard. A business without standard will be shut down by the same customers it is seeking patronage from. Unless customers you mean are angels from heaven and not fickle, unpredictable human beings again.

Whether Lithuania buys gas from Russia or not, I'm sure that Ukraine is not going to join NATO. And Lithuania not buying from Russia doesn't mean that Russia won't get other buyers elsewhere. Venezuela that was mercilessly sanctioned by US was later begged by the same US for amendment of bilateral ties when it became clear to all and sundry that Putin was going to "weaponise" his gas. If Lithuania wants to go to hell to get gas in order to spite Russia, that's their business. It still doesn't mean that others won't buy from Russia, and most importantly, Ukraine will not join NATO.

60+ I guess. [no official data]


Haha

you see it as a liability, some of us don't.

my wife to-be has told me several times that she doesn't wanna work, despite having a 2nd class lower BSc. she wants to be a full-time housewife and I am fine with it.

I can take care of her and our children, and she'll take care of the home.

win-win for us... **shrugs

Ok...Kontinue.

ArewaTech1:
Any husband that complains about his wife asking for money doesn't understand his responsibilities as a husband.

in my culture, before any family agrees to let you marry their daughter, you would have to agree to take care of:
1. Her shelter
2. Her clothing
3. Her feeding
4. IF she has a college degree or any certificate that is employable You have 2 options
A. Let her work
B. Agree to give her pocket money every month. This is after taking care of the 1.2.3 above.

If you agree to let her work, still, she has full right to her salary. If she likes she'll add up to help the family financially if she doesn't, she don't need to.

what is the life expectancy of men in that your "culture"?

I no fit shout abeg . Shaa me and liability enwero okwu to start with

bekpo:
I grew up from a family that believes that it's d duty of d man 2 fend 4 d family. Though my mum was wealthy, she never leave d home entirely 2 d hubby. Again my dad never see it that because d wife is wealthy, he will have 2 abandoned his responsibility.

Severally, i used 2 overheard my dad asked mum, how mush did u spend while i was away? Or pls replace this money wherever u took from 4 d family.

It's not bad 4 a woman 2 have something doing but leaving d entire responsibility to her or seeing it that it's her responsibility to cater, it's wrong. She's just a "helper".

Helper keh? Who she dey help? She don help her family people finish? Guy if you like use your hand put yourself for trouble.

My wife will be a partner, not just a helper. Otherwise we stay in our parent families and " help" them very well

Everytime I remember Zelensky, Nnamdi kanu somehow comes to mind too. Fighting a war against a ruthless enemy without tact and wisdom.....seriously everything no be by gra gra.

That he even armed bloody civilians with guns and against the Russians shows that he has no sense at all. The first few days, Putin was very soft with him. Even me sef was shocked at Putin's magnanimity. If I was in Putin's shoes, maybe Ukraine for experience hell from day one. But the old man is wiser. From kids gloves gradually.....to iron fists.

Putin can bomb Ukraine away from world map if he so pleases. Don't tell me that both I and Putin have lost our humanity. The NATO Idiots who keep bringing their military assets and personnel close to Russia don't have humanity too, so that makes them all the same.

"You no get plans to do me bad thing.....but everytime you carry weapon dey come near me. " In fact Putin sef dey dull. Make im dash Ukraine like 10 nuclear warhead make this thing end today today.

erniok:
Stalin ignored warning from the west about the attack and paid dearly for it. In hindsight, Nazi Germany could have won. They had the best European airfoce and tanks. Remember, the Soviets pushed them back in winter of 1941 and in summer of 1942, they took back most of the lost grounds. What help the world then was US involvement all thanks to Japan. Fighting on so many fronts weakened the German army.

Finally sha. They fought on too many fronts. Those Nazis were machines. Nobody can fight on all those fronts and come out victorious, not even the United States.

I retract my previous statement. The Nazis were the best fighting force in the whole world at the time. The Red Army was just the largest
