Family › Re: Man Drags Wife To Court For Changing Children’s Surname To Lover’s by JuanDeDios: 9:41am On Aug 13, 2023
Mindlog:
If a man's culture see no reason to pay bride price, he can't impose same on the woman who comes from where paying bride price is very fundamental and he is free not to involve bride price when his own daughter is getting married.
Which gives a woman the right to take a man's children and give them to whoever she likes. Wonderful.

Mindlog:
From the report they were never married as bride price was never paid. just cohabiting.

In many igbo communities, children of such relationship belong to the woman's family and should she get married to another man, those children will remain with her family of birth while in some igbo communities, the man who eventually pays her bride price becomes the father of those children and bears his name.......ask questions before opting to be a baby daddy.
In the man's culture nko?

masseratti:
arm chair economist welcome, it's bring your chair let me school you, Nigeria is not the only import dependent nation in the world, Saudi import almost everything they use, even water, their only source of revenue is oil and Hajj, Infact 2/3 of Nations in the world are on import export deficit with USA, China and other European countries, you don't hear their currency tumbling like ours us doing right now, having two rates in the economy is profiteering some people who have access to the official rate, until CBN stops selling dollars to just banks and ND or any I&E window.. This thing will continue, abolish the I&E windows, sell and buy at aboki rates, they will go out of business just like the black market and smugglers of Petrol has gone out of business now.. It's very simple, until that is done we won't see the end to the fall of Naira
Yaay! Reading through the entire thread has paid off. Finally, someone gets it!
Business › Re: Diversion Of Diaspora Remittances To Black Market Weakens Naira - CBN by JuanDeDios: 7:16pm On Aug 11, 2023
wirinet:
My brother the paradox is shocking. The CBN says they have floated the Naira, meaning they want the laws of demand and supply to determine the value of the Naira, but is now complaining about how and where people choose to change their currencies.
Does that even make sense?
Exactly. Makes no sense. You "float the naira", but continue to maintain a list of prohibited items, while keeping your own dollars away from BDCs. Then you're surprised that a gap between "official window" and "parallel market" has reemerged. Has to be ment.

superemmy:
Why not ban bureau de change
Because you can't. Not even Abacha could have done it even as he fixed the dollar at N22 throughout his reign. They'll close the shops but trading will continue unabated.

What I don't get is why the CBN pretended to remove restrictions on dollar trading without going the whole hog. If you unified the market, there would be no black market to divert anything to because banks and the BDCs would be trading at nearly the same rate. But by maintaining a list of prohibited items and continuing to treat BDCs like pariahs, the disparity reemerged and here we are. Who gathers ant-infested maggots and complains there's maggots? What kind of CBN governor is this?

Whenever I eat pasta based products like spaghetti and macroni, my entire body seems to swell the next morning when I wake, especially my face, hands and legs. For the face, I even feel the weight of sudden chunky skin even without a reflection in the mirror. What could possibly be the explanation to this. Am I alone or any other person feels same?
Google "gluten intolerance". Stay off anything that has gluten for 3 months and your overall health will likely improve. If you, you can go back to it.

Wow these guys are really happy with the coup, Africa should let them be please
Not necessarily. Of course, there are Nigeriens happy with the coup, but we don't know what proportion of the population. Shortly after the coup, some people came out to protest in support of President Bazoum. Shots were fired in the air and they went back home. After a coup, only supporters are allowed and encouraged to protest. Dissenters simply hold their peace.

Watcharena:
ok what did he do with the coup plotters
President Bill Clinton issued an ultimatum for the coup plotters give up power on a certain date and re-instate Aristide. As the deadline was approaching, the coupists left the presidential palace and returned to their barracks. I don't recall if any action was taken against them.

Edit
In situations like this, they'd be promised a free passage into exile or a retirement from the army without facing trial as a condition for giving up power.

there is no such law that says you can't use maximum lethal force against terrorist who are your citizens, the same law of armed conflict govern every combatant .

Again more than 80% of bandits are not Nigerians
Not true. Stop taking everything Kolade-Otitoju says hook line and sinker. Even he doesn't say "more than 80%".

Seriously though, there are foreign elements among bandits, but the vast majority of them are Nigerian Fulanis. The big big leaders of that sector, dead or alive - Buharin Daji, Dogo Gide, Kachalla Turji, Dan Karami, etc - are all Nigerians.

He has pulled troops from other parts leaving those ones vulnerable.
Yea.

1. Just send a strike team of special forces to insert where Bazoum is being held.
2. Extract him by helicopter to Agadez or Zinder.
3. Reconstitute the internationally recognised government there.
4. Send troops to route the few soldiers (if any) still loyal to the junta in Niamey.
5. Everyone, go home.

See? I'm a military genius.

The World is opening up and smiling to the bank. Africa is doing coups and expelling investors and closing up and languishing in poverty. We have a long way to go.
