This would be good if there was accountability. I don't mind paying taxes if light is good and roads are motorable
Romance › Re: Treat Her as a Friend with Benefit Until She Does This [Picture] by JimD(m): 10:22pm On Oct 11, 2024
There is a difference between being intrusive and being centered as a man. You should have a degree of control but you should respect her space as she respect yours, making sure she knows your "rules". Anything beyond that is narcissistic behaviour.

NB: A woman respects a man to the degree to which she respects his rules. But judging based on chats seems childish. Any woman can hide chats nowadays with the tap of a button.

Claiming to be Yoruba will not separate your foolishness from your stupidity

Idiot. Go and read about what happened between Ladoja and Adedibu. A segment of gullible Yoruba youths are the problem we Yorubas have. People that don't have the capacity to think for themselves. Just give them 1000 naira, pomo and action bitters, and you will play ball with their destinies. Sadly you are one of them.

Politics › Re: Why We Floated The Naira – Cardoso by JimD(m): 10:08am On Oct 07, 2024
seguntijan:
Indonesia floated its currency in 1998, prompted by the Asian Financial Crisis, and the Rupiah depreciated from 625 to $1 to 16,000 - $1 in the same year. As of 1998, Indonesia's GDP was $95bn. The country was bankrupt. It ran to IMF 4 times, had food shortages, and had massive riots. The rupiah gained value to 8,000 in 1999 and went back to 16,000. The economy started to grow gradually since then, witnessing a rise in non-oil export revenues and capital inflows into the Jakarta stock exchange.

The Rupiah has traded between 15,000 - 16,000 to the $ since 1999. Currency stability - easier flow of capital - easier investments - price stability - easier growth. I tried to explain in the thread that fx stability is a more important factor for economic growth, not the exchange rate, and Nigeria must choose between price stability and a pegged volatile fx rate. With the same period between 1998 - 2022, Nigeria's GDP grew from $218bn to $420bn with a pegged / fixed exchange rate system that we had to defend with our fx reserves while Indonesia moved from $95bn to $1.3trn. Fx reserves are meant to facilitate economic trade, Nigeria chose to use over $200bn of its reserve to defend a pegged currency.

Now my questions to you are :

1. Did the weak Rupiah prevent the Indonesian economy from growing from a gdp of $95bn to $1.3trn ?

2. Did the weak rupiah prevent consistent Gdp growth YOY?

3. Has Indonesia not done well with its weak currency?

4. Can Indonesia make $250bn from exports without a weak currency?

What is your point again?
Indonesia is one of the biggest manufacturing economies in Asia. How many things does Nigeria manufacture? Don't just be regurgitating stats. Make them contextual.

It took Indonesia 26 years to get back to stability, and their per capita income is still lower than lesser countries like Thailand because of their weak currency. So their citizens are effectively poorer than Thailand citizens (and that's a poor country). It's hard to defend policies that are not well thought out.

No Sir,
God is not in hell. The parable of the rich man and Lazarus makes us to understand that God put a deep gulf between heaven and hell so no one can cross from one side to the other.
You already pointed to Revelations 3 where a dead church was mentioned so I don't know what you mean by a church can't be dead. The church is not the building but the souls of the congregants.
As for Omnipresence of God, that refers to the fact that he can be anywhere but it does not mean he's everywhere.
God can be everywhere but by virtue of his holiness, he's not everywhere.

Read your bible. And don't just follow dogma
Christianity Etc › Re: Signs a Christian is Attending Dead Or Dying Churches by JimD(m): 2:31pm On Sep 08, 2024
Ojuntana:
Go and read your Bible properly. God is not everywhere. God sees everything and knows everything but his presence is not everywhere. God does not inhabit a place where there is sin or unholiness.
Even in the depths of hell, God is there. That's a character of God - omnipresence. It's our own awareness of God's presence that may be muted by sin or Faithlessness. So a Church cannot be dead in the real sense of the word. When the bible talks about the church in Sardis, he was talking about the spiritual state of the people in it (an allegory of the valley of dry bones). But even God breathed life into the valley of dry bones. So who are you to proclaim one church is dead or one is alive? Only God has the right to do that. And if he so wishes he'll revive the dead church.

I still want to believe something is wrong somewhere kos I don't understand why a president will be this unconcerned about the plight of his country.

I wish we can all shun tribe and embrace revolution. The annoying thing is non of the candidates Atiku or Obi would have done better, they are all same.
