Franky826:
Lol. I started in 2012. Haven't fallen sick ever since then

I also did around that time but stopped I just started again.

BabaCommander:
The fact that you had kidney stones means you have not been taking enough water.

Drink more water and alkalinize your system. Pineapple, lemon and honey can help greatly.

Bro the kidney stone thing really surprised me o cos I’m the type than can’t eat a ball of puff puff or a roll of gala without taking at least 1sachet water and I’m not used to drinking water half way. I always finish it. I even have a hole in one of my tooth that requires that I take water after every munch to flush out the food stuck inside the tooth.


Though, I’ve always seen my body system as the type that uses a lot of body fluid. That’s why I don’t do hard drugs cos it will dry up my body fluids in minutes(I’ve had 3 near fatal experiences).

Yes I combined it with lemon every morning and in less than 3days I was ok.

This therapy is so good that I have stopped taking anti malaria drugs.


I only take paracetamol for headache and vit c to boost immune system any time I start feeling fever. I just did it with the fever I was having for 3days now.


Last month I had kidney stone and after taking the water therapy for just 2days I felt relieve.

No 2 can be so painful

It was the presidency giving consent.. read however way you want but it's on record the Judiciary is now in aso-rock left wing.

Will you keep shut. Which consent? Someone is asking the tribunal for permission to inspect election materials like Atiku did and you’re here spewing and twisting rubbish.


A lot of people keep correcting you with evidence and you keep grinding like a broken machine. Has your brain being used?

Esseite:
Yes it was... read well

Go to school you no go gree.


So an exparte is now a presidential order? And you can still read the name of the lawyer there. It’s baffling how you people go through life with your level of ignorance.

How come this has never been reported,even by our rumour mongering bloggers?
Anyways, he who lives by the sword will die by the sword

If you doubt it, give me your email address let me send the audio recording of his landlady in Ogun State to you. That is if you understand Yoruba.

The landlady said if it’s possible to investigate the number of deaths from Sugar it will be nothing less than 200lives.

Very good

grandstar:
What good has import bans had on the manufacturing sector. Very little. Manufacturing accounts for less than 10% of GDP

The same good it has had on dangote cement, sugar, salt etc when he was the only company allowed to sell the last two(sugar and salt).

The same good that happened to the music industry when a ban was placed on foreign musics by local radio and tv stations.

The same good that is presently happening to Rice production in the country.

While countries like Bangladesh and Pakistan are increasing their exports of textiles and garments, Nigeria is stuck in the stone age.

Until the country opens it's borders and deal with the manufacturing sector the way it should, it will remain in the state it is today.

This last two paragraphs are contradictory and it shows your ignorance about the economics of import and export viz-a-viz manufacturing and production. If the likes of turkey and Bangladesh, Pakistan opened their borders to all sorts of textiles when they were growing their industries do you think they will be where they are?

How can you aim to produce and export when your borders are open to foreign superior products?

Who will buy an Aba made bag when you can easily get a better China made at a cheaper price?

This is the same kind of Skcepticism that made you guys shout to high heavens when the ban was placed on rice, toothpick, pencil etc but today, we now have a pencil making factory in Akwa Ibom, a toothpick factory somewhere in the east and we are currently the largest rice producer in Africa.

That is what protectionism does.

Stop studying the western economists who’s stock in trade is to keep third world countries perpetually poor in other for their factories to remain in business. This is reality right here and the Nigerian economists who are quite learned than you and I have spoken.

Cc: Tianamen1

The game changer for the Nigerian movie was the film "Living in bondage".produced in 1992/93. That was the start of Nollywood. Google "first Nigerian movie". It wasn't any so called ban.

Everyone of that generation knew where he or she was when they first watched it. I watched it in a friend's house in Ilupeju in 1993.

Trump's stiff action against China and other countries has been condemned by American economists. The trade war he is waging is against China's unfair trade policies. He wants China to open up it's economy and end unfair subsidies to state owned enterprises. Anyway, his policies lack the backing of American economist and may lead to a slowdown in world growth

Protection has failed miserably to industrialise the country. Manufacturing accounts for less than 10% of GDP, which is disappointing instead of at least 20%.

The definition of madness is to keep doing the same thing and expecting a different results.

The government needs new policies to spur manufacturing such as cheap and abundant credit, low corporate taxes, export processing zones which huge incentives for manufacturers to set up shop, improve power supply etc.

Protectionism has simply made the country a smugglers paradise. Imports are also good for you and the best economists in the world are champions of free trade.

Hahaha if living in bondage was the game changer how many Nigerian TV stations showed it. Up until 1999 B.C.O.S Ibadan still showed American films every morning(test transmission) and night. Even NTA a national television had an array of foreign movies.

You claimed to watch it in your friends house. Why didn’t you watch it in your own house. Simple, because most parents couldn’t afford video casset players and there were no local tv stations showing any Nigerian movie cos foreign movies were much in vogue. Ask the caste of that living in bondage today they will tell you they made nothing from the movie.


Even the likes of plantation Boiz, tony tetuila, Hedris Abdullareem didn’t make anything in the movie industry until the ban on foreign musics.

The fact that living in bondage was released in 1992 doesn’t mean it’s the beginning of Nollywood. Maybe that is what you know about the Nigerian movie industry. Nigerians especially SWesterners has been going to the movies as far back as the 70s to see the likes of Babasala, Duro ladipo, Ogunde, Afolayan and co.

It’s the same thing has the Nigerian textile industry. It has been in existence as far back as the 70s but without government policies to protect the local production, you’re opening them up to undue foreign competition.

All those tax incentives, low interest loans etc are secondary when there is no market. They are only to allow the company to make profit. Nigerian company tax is one of the lowest in the world, and yet you still get a number of years without paying tax. The number one this for any start up business is to not be opened to unfair competition if not the company won’t even survive let alone break even.

Dangote has being in Nigeria for over 30years surviving inspite of lack of electricty, high interest on loans etc. WHY? Because he has the market and no competition.

Open up borders? No offense but are you nuts? A third world country producing nothing should open up its borders? Who thought you your economics/finance?


Trumps stiff action may have been condemned but it’s working for the American people. The bold is enough. Trump made it clear that the US is tired of being the world police that is why his campaign slogan is Make America Great Again(MAGA) and not Make the World Great again. You fight for your own first before you fight for others.

Things that seem obvious are not always as they seem. There are always multiple stories.

Import subtracted from exports is only 1 component of GDP. A country can be very rich having fewer exports than imports if it meets most of its people's needs.
Have a great day

Ok can you give me a link, I’d love to read up on the cause of the American problem.


Still On the Nigerian issue. If import and export substitution is just 1 component then you will agree with me that we haven’t even gotten that one right let alone the other ones you may be talking about.

Let us get this straight first before moving to the others.

eluquenson:
So, you want to tell me our government are very sincere. SMH

How do you know a “sincere” government? No government in the world is sincere depending on the side of the policy you fall.


BTW do we have to wait for all of us to agree that the government is “sincere” before we make changes. It’s not going to happen cos some will always disagree.


But by my own appraisal, this government has shown more sincerity of purpose than any government in recent memory.

Tianamen1:
Jomoh, Nigerians tend to be highly religious people who believe there is always a simple solution to even extremely complex problems.

To the best of my knowledge, the last time America faced a crisis similar to the one it is facing was in the 1920's and it took over twenty years after the second world war to get their economy moving properly again.

What Trump is doing in China is pandering to illiterate Americans who believe China is the enemy and the cause of their woes. Even China is facing economic headwinds itself.

The crisis Nigeria is currently facing is a combination of our poor leadership and the fall out of America's economy.

To develop, Nigeria needs long term plans and not patch patch solutions. Everything starts with better education for our masses.

You’ve gotten it wrong my brother.

Forget the media propaganda of CNN the American economy is doing very great for the first time in a very long time. Unemployment at the moment is the lowest in 10years. These are all results of the trump policies.


Here is a simply break down. Most companies have left the us to establish in China with lower labour cost where they produce and send to the US who obviously have the money and the market. Initially trump wanted to ban those product from entering the US thereby forcing them to come back to the US if they want to sell to the US market. The plan was later shelved because the American labour can not provide the cheap labour China is providing and they have other sources of revamping the economy. Now he prefers to increase import tariffs on China products thereby achieving two things.

1. Make money for the country from china
2. Force China to negotiate a trade agreement that will see China increase their imports of US products thereby providing jobs to Americans.



Now back to Nigerian situation

Yes Nigerian economy is affected by America’s but apart from oil that we sell to America is there anything else we export in large quantities? None. And we use the money we make from the oil we export to import other product more than we produce thereby returning their money back to them.


I don’t know where you lean on the policy but this policy is obviously not a short term solution neither a bit patch solution. This is a very long term solution that if managed well will be permanent and very good for the economy.


We can not keep waiting for the right moment. If we don’t take the leap we will never grow.

dan2976:
My bro.. To some extent yes you r right but there is no where in the world where u stimulate local production by banning forex trade, closing the borders which will only trigger price increase and fuel smuggling. Google and see. The biggest importers of goods and even staple food are the biggest economies in the world.. Importation is a must if u don't want people to starve to death..

And yes, Nigeria is blessed, so blessed that we don't need to produce anything and yet we have more than enough to export for the next 200years. Minerals and resources. Forget about oil. Google the mineral deposits in Nigeria. No state is poor. Do u know that even sand is an export? What do Arab nations produce yet they only export one thing... We lack knowledge and our leaders can't see beyond there nose. God help us

Yes in the short and medium term there will be inflation but eventually everything will normalize.

The short and medium term depends on the government funding of the sector through loans.

eluquenson:
These set of idi'ots should revamp power sector before placing a ban on anything.
No palliative measures yet you ban. FG is high on oshogbo weed

Who will invest in Nigeria textile industry where we're yet to produce 10,000megawatt of electricity.

Why do we have to wait for power sector to stabilize before we start producing? When we can reduce the money we spend on importation and use the same money to develop the power sector.

Dangote has been in business for over 30years with the same poor electricity.

Investors don’t care about your power sector. They can generate their own power. What they care about is the available market without unfair competition from imported goods and enabling environment with ease of doing business.

Tianamen1:
Of the original 41 banned items, how many have Nigerians started producing locally?

Governments everywhere are the worst allocators of resources. Once they start choosing to give special interest rates to industries, corruption will certainly follow. In fact, only countries like China where people are killed for corruption can such policies as these work.

Grandstar, a focus on exports will also not work the same way you now realise import substitution does not work.

Any form of government intervention to spur a specific sector hardly ever works because people are inherently corrupt.

When the US Economy was collapsing in 2008, the federal reserve reduced interest rates to close to zero percent to help spur lending but the banks still refused to lend money out. They simply used the money to speculate in the markets and to buy back their stocks. This created an illusion of a recovery in the US economy however, common Americans did not benefit in anyway so inequality grew, and social unrest is currently at the highest levels in decades.

In the Eurozone, the biggest cost to Britain is payments to subsidize farmers in other European countries. Apart from issues with immigration, this is the biggest reason for Brexit.

A government's role in an economy should not go beyond providing Education, healthcare, security and Law and order. In order to achieve these things, infrastructure such as electricity, roads, transportation systems, communication technology, public water works, etc will have to be developed. In most climes, their central banks only have one purpose which is to fight inflation.

How much did our government invest in our musicians and our film industry, yet today both are robust and are contributing to our GDP and also creating lots of employment.

Our fight should be for a reduced civil service and an increase in spending on public goods such as education as earlier stated.

Lol

Your analysis didn’t give any solution that can be considered better than that of the federal government. You’re just using your knowledge of the economy of foreign countries to bamboozle the obvious majority of economic illiterates on this site.

Remind me again the difference between what the federal government has done and what trump is doing with China presently?


At the bold paragraph. I don’t know how old you were between 2001-2007 but I remember the federal government did the same thing in our entertainment industry.

What did they do?

Ban all radio and TV stations from playing Foreign musics and films.

The result is what we see today.

Same thing was done on football but as we all know, the ROI on football is quite low especially in a country like nigeria where we only have the talents but lack the expertise to nurture talents.


Same thing was done partially in the auto industry by GEJ but failed because there was no steel industry to service the auto makers.

Let Nigerians start investing in textile industries rather than Davido spending $100k weekly on frivolities.


Imagine if he invests his $400k monthly on his failed clothing line and wizkid also did same in his own clothing line won’t we have better textile industry.


This is a very good development to encourage investors knowing that there is little or no competitor.

grandstar:
How can an economist say that the country is spending half of the budget deficit on imported textiles? What correlation does that have? The government isn't the one spending the money on importing the textiles. Textile importers simply source the forex from the CBN and they pay for it! They didn't dash them this money or lent it to them.

This is why it is good to stay in GNS 101 classes

Compare the two bold statements and you will understand the point of that economist

“This is a good initiative by the CBN, because if you look at what we spend on importation it is about 50 per cent of our budget deficit. And imagine if that amount is being generated internally, it will automatically impact on our Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

I know you might still not understand, so let me help you.

In the larger context, that man was referring to the whole “country” literarily(meaning the general populace or the textile importers) as against your own interpretation of referring to the “country” as the federal government.

According to him, it is high time the nation controlled the levels of goods imported, saying too much dependence on importation was killing local industries due to unhealthy competition with foreign goods.

Exactly. No Nigerian bank will give you loan when they know you have foeriegn competetors that can put you out of business.

This is another good develpopment to boost our textile industry.


Every government policy must have casualties but as long as its for the long term good of the country’s economy then it is welcome.

MallamJackson:
I can see you have an old quarrel with me you want to bring up


please remind me how it all started

Yes. It started when you decided to result to insult with your “shut it”.


Advising you to go to school is not an insult cos your comment doesn’t reflect that of someone that did.

MallamJackson:
Shut it!

my network was messy.

I made my point and you got it.

Which useless point did u make with your incoherent rambling. It was one of the monst insanely idiotic things I’ve ever read. At no point did you make any statement that can be considered sane.

[quote author=MallamJackson post=76550371][/quote]When I told you to go to school you thought it was an insult.


Ordinary how to quote on Nairaland you can’t. You did it twice and still got it wrong twice. Are you this dull

How many votes were cancelled and what was the winning margin.


Winning margin: Over 3,000,000

Cancelled votes: less than 1,000,000

You think PDP don’t know this and wouldn’t raise alarm if the canceled votes were greater than the winning margin?

This is all lies

gud4dbest:
why was he shot in the eye of all parts of the body? Those that knew the secret of his defence killed him. The guy was a confirmed assassin during his days. Such his life.

Read somewhere that the person that killed him was not even a political thug just some villager who confronted him when he went to their village to unleash mayhem. According to what I read, The person was said to have gone inside to pick up his own gun after several gunshots fired by sugar didn’t penetrate him. Read that the person killed his driver too.


All those are what I read not anything I confirmed.

TheFreeOne:
You call him mad for saying the truth?

And can you furnish us with Buharis pension to ascertain if that's what he has used in training all his children abroad?

A man who claim he doesn't have money but his wife wears jewelriies worth millions of naira. And 2.5b was allegedly stolen from her by her CSO.
Was the money generated from her beauty parlour?


His son crashed a powerbike worth millions of naira.

He claimed to have 150 cows and also claimed only have about 3 houses until it later turned out he's got an estate in Abuja worth over a billion naira.

If Buhari has integrity as he's been touting what stopped him from releasing his asset declaration form?

His demonizing wealth in order to keep a leash on his almajiri followers is fraudulent and evil.

This shows a lot of people are truly mad in this country including all those that liked this your comment.

If your father is a former governor of 3states, former petroleum minister, former head of state of a country, former PTDF chairman and and your mother (Aisha) is the daughter of a former minister and you don’t know how to use all those connections to make millions or even billions of Naira without stealing then you’re really mad.

If you think a former military head of state and former general won’t have a monthly pension running into 10s of millions of Naira monthly then you’re really mad.

Strawman, who told you the seas don't mix? They actually mix but because of the density of the water you see as if it doesn't mix on the surface, eventually they mix.

And it's not that two oceans meet, it's the glacial melt water meeting the off shore waters of gulf of Alaska.

It's not a new discovery, the phenomena has been explained.

Haha Haha shifting the goal post already.

First it was that people know about the sea not mixing before the Quran.

Ok bring proof.

You brought that rubbish.

Now you’re saying the seas mix.

Which one should we believe? Abeg stay one place for the thunder below to know where to strike.


The first prove you were asked for, you’re still yet to bring it. The one you brought is rubbish.

Can you bring your proof that the seas mix?


So you’re saying two waters with two chemical composition mix?

So what happens to their chemicals when they mix? Do they leave them behind?

Just read what you wrote again.


Yes we know the discovery is not new.

The question is who discovered it first? Science or religion(Quran)


Who explained the phenomenon, with what instrument and when did they explain the phenomenon.


Without prove to these answers you’re just shooting yourself in the foot and making yourself look like a fool.
