Tell one herder to graze openly in Ondo state and see that Aketi is not joking.

Aketi has a strategy. Most states don't. They think you can make laws and herders will disappear overnight? Hell-Ruffai is making sense.

GeneralPula:
So $100 is now 57500 Naira..

This will only Favour those who earns in dollars as what they are earning will be proportional to what they spending..

But you see salary earners? Dem go dey jonze presently..

My brother, it's not proportional now o! The rate of price increases in the market for basics is higher than the exchange rate increase. But I get your point. It's definitely proportional for things like car and dollar earners are bound to find things much easier than naira earner in this economy.

treesun:
Forex is only obeying the law of continuous demand and limited supply.

Fundamentally, yes. But we're talking about how you manage that problem. Enefiele thinks he can fix the "official price", sell BTA at that price, abolish the black market, and tell importers to go hell since we should all be eating yams and cassava anyway. But people want imported toothpaste and cars, hence the black market. A dual window complicates the situation because it sends the "black market" on a tailspin, and the "black market" is where real sector players have to source their dollar. So the economy suffers real bad.

Omooba77:
The same approach used in Venezuela that collapsed the economy..... Democratic dictators
If nothing urgent is done, it will be 800 to dollar in few weeks time....
Lalasticlala...

I fear that's where we're going - Venezuela. The kind of price increases we're seeing is beyond the exchange rate issue - we're looking at scarcity of basics, as a lot of items have already disappeared from the shelves.

Handsum64:
I have ever seen Emefiele as dumb.
But because of the ethnicity card Buhari allowed the Jonathan apologists of and reserve banker to stay put.

That guy is a clown, I swear. Simple thing - abolish dual rates and float the currency, no. He thinks he can fix a rate and currencies will obey.

Buliwyf:
I think they don't want to drag the case in court. They are just looking for other forms of compensation so they are trying to be as loud as possible so they still get something out of it. Also remember that if they just keep quiet about it, they will be sending the wrong signals to everyone that they can take any nonsense without protest. That's the point of this whole tantrum you are seeing.

Fair point.

Buliwyf:
See the kind of childish clowns on Nairaland. I just made a comment on how contracts work based on the complains France themselves made. You yourself were telling them to let it go and I was pointing out to you that no country has ever done that. Some even go as far as seeking arbitration in world courts. Now you have resorted to insults because you can't even defend your claims with logic. I don't blame you. It should have been clear you are a king of morons from your claims about them forgetting the contract. What a joke. A man cannot think beyond the abilities of his mental faculties. What a clown

If they have a case, I think they should do that. Better than these tantrums.

OriOko88:
Its not really d UK or US persay,but d combined team of French and d soviet union forces. UK only provided naval assistance.

WW2? French forces? The UK only provided naval assistance?

If UK had been on European continental shelf it would been taken by germany.

But it isn't.

But you can expose petty Yahoo boy's, Isa pantami name was on the list as mohammed Ibrahim Isa but he quickly changed it Isa pantami. I only pity southern leader's Nigeria is gone

Are you sure?

MrBrownJay1:
the important question IS: what would be her reaction if he had lost the money?!

IMHO the man is a thief, and as a thief he owes her absolutely NOTHING.... not even the 10k because thieves dont have moral/values.

This is one-track reasoning. In human affairs, there are nuances, considerations, and relativism. Yes, he's a thief, but the story is different NOW since she's made the decision not to call the police on him.

chatinent:
All I see is one political harlot jealous of another political prostitute that was welcomed into the political harlotry.

The things some of you see. How is Joe Igbokwe a political harlot? I don't like him, but that man has been as constant as the northern star in politics.

Is the Edo HoA sitting now or will Obaseki draft the anti-open grazing law and sign it all by himself in his office?

Which one is several years ago? For her public profile, her age need not be censored.

A whole VC o!

I see naptu2 can reply to posts without reading them - in the service of the meaningful arguments we engage in here all the time.

This "tax credit" of a thing. How does it work? Is there a framework? Is it backed by legislation? Are the criteria known?
Or is it just another way of "helping" politicians' friends?

naptu2:


You see, this is very funny. The United Nations (UN), the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) all referred to FIFA as the Fédération Internationale de Football Association and it's all fine, but the Lagos State Government (LASG) refers to it by the same name and it's a problem?

JESUS CHRIST!

All these organisations are not Nigerians o! (Since you seem to have a problem with Nigerians).

You asked for examples and I've given you many. It's a matter of choice and they can do as they please.

Once again, here are the examples.

1) From the IOC https://www.asoif.com/member/f%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration-internationale-de-football-association

2) From the UN https://unece.org/united-nations-special-envoy-road-safety/meeting-representatives-federation-internationale-de

3) From the BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/32994511

4) From IMDB

There are numerous other examples. Just say that you have a problem with it. That's fine. But there's absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Screenshots attached.

No, I don't have a problem with LAGOS STATE referring to FIFA like that. I actually wrongly believed that was a news report by a media house - I'm sure you can surmise that from my initial post. The BBC page you cited was not a random news report - it's an article EXPAINING FIFA.

Everything else I've said.

@bolded. No. It's just verbose.

Newton85:
Boring and dry humour to save face. Oga go and bury your head in shame. Olodo.

That wasn't to save face. In this matter, "olodo" describes you even if you can't see it.

Newton85:
Some of you just come on here to proudly and arrogantly showcase your ignorance. Isn't FIFA the French acronym for Federation Internationale de Football Association, while Its English acronym would be IFAF (International Federation of Association Football)? Social media sha.

It's not a French acronym. It's a Kalabari initialism.

naptu2:
It's not a question of "original name", that is still their name and they are referred to with that name in very many places. For God's sake!!


FIFA as an IOC member https://www.asoif.com/member/f%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration-internationale-de-football-association

The United Nations https://unece.org/united-nations-special-envoy-road-safety/meeting-representatives-federation-internationale-de

IMDB, Wikipedia, etc.

What the hell is wrong in calling an association by its name! That's its name for God's sake!

It's a matter of style. They can choose to use the acronym or they can choose to flesh it out. It's their choice. They don't have to follow anyone else like a mumu, but there's absolutely nothing wrong in calling an organisation by its name as many have done and continue to do.

You're the one who has used the word "wrong", not me.

Imagine you have a Ph.D. in physics and you appear at a conference and say "I'm Naptu. I have a philosopher's degree in physics. Of course, you will get curious stares. Not because you're "wrong" but because you're VERBOSE to a degree that isn't even funny.

The other day, I read a newspaper article that began "Two Western Education is Bad (Boko Haram) members that were arrested by..." *sigh* I agree there's something to be said about style (that's my field after all), but if this is the style of Nigerian journalism, Nigerian journalism is VERBOSE.

No, FIFA is not referred to as "Federation ... " in very many places. They're just FIFA. Of course, you can call them by their original name if you're teaching primary four or writing on Wikipedia. My point is newsman's English doesn't work like that and journalists elsewhere don't. It's verbose.

BOOOMNAIJA:
Wat do u know?

FIFA was first concocted in French before it was being interpreted to english...that is d original meaning of FIFA, u dumb head.

French? I didn't know. I thought it was concocted from Ibibio, you cerebral dwarf.

naptu2:
That is literally their name! For God sakes! Kai!

That was their original name. But can you show me a FIFA document or an article in Time magazine where it's spelt out that way? When last did you hear the BBC refer to itself at the British Broadcasting Corporation? Or BP refer to itself as British Petroleum? Only Nigerian newspapers do. If you don't get how full names are dropped and acronyms adopted (not all organizations do this, of course; for example, CNN is till Cable News Network) I won't respond further.

naptu2:
Lagos State, Nigeria’s commercial nerve centre, became the cynosure of the global soccer lenses on Wednesday, as Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu was joined by the President of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), Gianni Infantino, to attend the opening round of the maiden Aisha Buhari Women Cup.

Nigerian journalism is tiresome for its sheer verbosity. Who calls FIFA Fédération Internationale de Football Association ?!

Ask AstraZeneca. If you don't get a response from them, then ask me again.

At least, you're not one of them anti-vaxers. Just anti-AZ. There's hope.

Hushpuppy20:
What happened to astrazeneca ?=AmuEbule post=105848537]

Op. Why are you people so worried about Pfizer and Moderna vaccines when they are not even in Nigeria? Tell us about the yeye AstraZeneca vaccine they shipped to us.

AmuEbule:
Op. Tell us about the yeye AstraZeneca vaccine they shipped to us.

So what makes AstraZeneca a yeye vaccine?

RodgersAkpafu:
I was about to applaud you for the Initial comment you made
Then I scroll down to see this
This comment is in bad taste and is uncalled for
The civil war was an ugly part of our story as a country
And Igbos are Nigerians too
The suffering should be acknowledged
And your comment Insensitive
You still have a point
The years before Buhari first coming were good old days

You're right.

tensazangetsu20:
Omho and we abuse them for destroying the country. These guys suffered so much.

NIgerians in their 40's today did suffer a lot after SAP was introduced by IBB. But take it from me: those who destroyed this country didn't suffer.

Abeg which governor's name start with D? Na dat one concern me

Duoye Diri (Bayelsa)

So what's the take of Pocohontas on this?

pepperdemzombie:
1. Which film you dey act and which film Tonto dey act wen 2 of una turn to colleague?

3. When armed robber lost, na only ashawo fit find am cos na 2 of dem dey work for night.
4. You called out Kponkpo but didn't call out ALL the married women in his contact because dey are your party member, Olosho People's Party (OPP)
5. The guy is alleged to have chop about 50% actressess aka Oloshos mostly Asaba branch and you are obliously one of them, pained!
6. Who flaunts and go to parade a month's fvck boy at her child's school to spite the child's father? Only a concentrated fool and that's what Tonto is.
7. Tonto paid for fvck and appearance at the child's school and Kpokpo delivered, so NO refund here!
8. You mean our KING left 40secs free preeq to start paying for preeq? Ultimum shame! Rose dey chop am like that!
9. Tonto did gragra to flaunt grigri, just to spite her husband, it only backfired! Period!
