Rubbish, providing excuses as to why their tithe and offering scam doesn't lead to so called blessings. Pastors have ready access to your earthly tithe and offerings when they need financial blessings, but u need to wait for your "God" in the sky to do "wonders" just to get your own reward.

When BUA's refinery becomes operational then I will believe that there are local players ready to compete with Dangote. For now though we can only watch.

Miracle don dey tire Jesus

Hope Peter Obi's shop was among, because the way he took the matter personally.

At the end of the day the Private sector is still the savior of the refinery industry. When BUA refinery comes on stream, NNPC and oil marketers looking for free money will sit up.

Some naija guys no get level.

What is wrong with NDLEA, let the man develop Korea in peace. Don't you know without his hardworking contribution Korea would be a pigsty. But thanks to his development, Korea can stand toe to toe with his beautiful region. god bless our able developers.

Not surprising, a lot of these foreigners who are engaged in fraud will prefer to stay in Nigeria where can easily evade being caught. Hope these ones won't be released after money changes hand sha.

Una no just get sense for Nairaland. How does 25% tariffs on imports in USA concern us in Nigeria. Must every news be linked to Nigeria. Bunch of illiterates.

Na the matter of this Davido uncle go still put am for trouble.

Good. More need to be dismissed in similar fashion. It is clear the purpose of the Nigerian police on the road isn't to stop crime but to extort people for their gain.

internationalman:
I’m telling you black market rate was 1480 few days ago. I know because someone sent me money to help them execute a contract just Monday here

Then u were scammed, I changed dollars everyday of this week. The lowest dollar got to in the black market was 1540.

internationalman:
Few days a go 1 dollar was about 1480, so what do you mean by Naira strengthens..

Cbn rate is different from black market rate

Watched the story on tiktok, he was called in and forced to perform a life saving surgery on his daughter even though there were other doctors around, that's really crazy. Wish him the best in his law suit.

These are the candidates that will have their permanent residency revoked by Trump. Welcome back to Nigeria in advance.

sweetkev:
They signed up for it. You won't say this if Nigeria was a good country. You will be ready to defend and die for your country anytime. It's called being patriotic and loving ones country.

Sharap, what is North Korea defending in Ukraine. Too much film don affect dis one.

Good job. These are the sought of practices that needs to dealt with. Saboteurs like this idiot should be beaten mercilessly when caught. There is no infrastructure these bastards won't vandalize, electrical equipment, drainage covers, roads, even bridge railings. Dem swear for una?

Majesty7:
And it is #1,620 at the parallel window This country is just full of drunkards. Banks and CBN chiefs needs to be arrested, jailed and executed all at once.

Official rate at #1,493? Which will be sold to Bureau de Change operators to sell above #1,620 to the public? Everything about this country sucks to the highest heaven.

The question is, why operate two windows?

Which 1620. It is 1590/1600 and my dealer has already stopped buying and selling because it is still coming down to 1580.

Sheuns:
There’s low demands now due to the Chinese holidays. No work in the whole of China for a few weeks, so people aren’t buying much.

You guys said the same rubbish during Christmas. Yet it has still been going down from Christmas price. Just say you don't know what will happen, nobody really knows.

Because South West rejected ur useless sharia law, they are intolerant. Muslims and Gaslighting na 5&6.

Chop your goods yourselves, plain and simple. Nigerians are greedy thieves that's just the truth.

Not surprising. Religious folks are also the most diabolical people in this country.

You're jobless.

A mother faced with a difficult decision. Out of desperation, she sends her young girl away to work as a domestic servant, believing that the opportunities and care the girl might receive elsewhere surpass what they can provide. Not malice. Just clinging to hope.

A lady employs a 13 year old girl as her house help. What should do if the help steals?

Moral line I: can a man ask if there is a blurred distinction between discipline and abuse? Or ask “What does it mean to "batter" someone?” Is it now merely an act of corporal punishment, or does it carry a deeper connotation of cruelty? Is their manifestation of cruelties in the girl appearance?

A girl screams for help in the market when she saw her employer buy 8 fresh canes. Was she crying out in terror against a history of relentless abuse, or could it be that this a singular act of discipline is blown out of proportion?
I see the girl’s back. Have I lost my conscience to think that a single stroke of a cane can leave a temporary mark on the skin? And this doesn’t look like batter. I wasn’t there. How arrogant to think I can judge from a picture, and how vicious I have become to seek visible scars as evidences of batter.


Moral line II: Can I say most embodies a brand of brutality. Had that girl stolen from the market, the saviors will be a mob that would likely have descended upon her with an unspeakable vengeance. If she were pretty, Men and women of the poor folks tend to be emboldened by collective rage for their ilks: let us strip her naked, leaving her dignity in tatters. Let us record the videos for it will serve our bodily pleasures. If it were a boy, his fate even more gruesome—a public lynching, his body doused in fuel, and a fire ignited by people wielding "justice." Spare tires and gasoline are perpetually available for such acts of vigilantism, yet the same crowd that unleashes such fury now fashions itself as the girl’s savior.

And then there’s the NGOs, they can’t do all things. Is it fair then to say they are eager to cast this narrative in black and white? One NGO will reiterate our outrage: the woman who employed the child is nothing short of a villain! They advocate for her punishment, for they think we cannot save all from their fate, but her suffering will deter others from maltreating children. Let another NGO be with another nuance. That considers the systemic issues that force a child into domestic labour in the first place. That considers the circumstances that pushed the parents to relinquish their daughter. That is cognizant of the structural failures that have allowed this practice to persist. That beyond a moral outrage, hold the government to account.

Moral line III: The police, an institution riddled with its own history of violence can steps in as both judge and jury. And the rest of us—the public—can join the chorus of condemnation.

Let us focus on the optics: The woman is even a mother herself! How could she do this to someone else’s child? Let us ensure a carefully staged photograph of the accused holding her own baby makes the headlines, fueling the people’s collective indignation.

The vicious employer: You demand justice for the girl while ignoring signs that her basic needs might have been met. Was she adequately clothed? You do not even know whether her employer ensure she was attending school. How can these questions fade into irrelevance for you lots. Yes, I disciplined her, but it was not without cause. She stole, and though she has denied, but I know she did. Put my pictures over the internet and banish me into shame. Adopt the girl or return her to parents. Crucify me for not indulging her.

She is in the police cell with the teacher that assaulted a child. I repeatedly slapped a little child in frustration over the course of imparting knowledge. Before you, I was the target of public scorn. My livelihood was stripped away, and I was branded unfit to teach.

Moral line IV: After your livelihood was stripped away, did they stop to question why such incidents occur? Why are teachers left undertrained, underpaid, and overwhelmed?
Our outrage tends to be misdirected. We demand retribution against individuals—employers, teachers, parents—without addressing the societal structures that perpetuate these situations. Why are families so impoverished that they must send their children to work? Why does the state neglect to provide adequate support for education, child welfare, and economic security? Punishing one woman, one teacher, or one parent does little to dismantle the systems that create these tragedies.

The mob: So, create your own NGO!!!

Naija is a theater of contradictions. Those that claim to care for the vulnerable thrive on sensationalism. Until we confront the deeper, systemic issues, we are destined to replay these dramas, casting new villains while the real problems remain untouched.

Ire O!!!

Imagine making a peace deal with terrorist bandits. These northerners are not serious. When they are tired of being terrorized they will do the needful.

That VAT increment doesn't make sense. And that makes Tinubu an hypocrite. He was the one lecturing Buhari and Osibanjo not to increase VAT, knowing that VAT is a consumer tax that will affect the poor. Yet he has approved the increment in his tax reform. The man is such an evil schemer. Same thing he did with fuel subsidy. Lying that it doesn't exist when Jonathan wanted to remove it and then removing it himself when he became president.

Not surprising. Even some fools that abused Obi for being a failure as Governor started praising him when he ran for president. Most Nigerians are mentally ill.

This is why terrorists continue to thrive over there. Because there are so many terrorists sympathizers among their population that aid the terrorists.

These people and drug trafficking.

It's the fools that donated I blame. Anyway he has cashed out. Keep donating to him let him chop all ur money

Nigerians and criminality is 5&6. They will come online to abuse the government while perpetuating terrible crimes themselves. They will sell fake drinks and fake medicine even if those items kill their fellow Nigerians. They buy cash to resell, buy/steal petrol to resell, steal and destroy electricity infrastructure, destroy and litter roads, steal human being join to resell. And still have the guts to call someone else a thief.

femisplash:
This would really enhance economic stability. Nigeria can confidently meet her international obligation. However, the call for reduction in the interest rate is a dicey one, would it not further push up the inflation rate?

It is too early to suggest reducing interest rates. There needs to be some stability in the forex market and gradual reduction in inflation for at least 3-4 months warrant an interest rate cut.

That's why it is really important to be patient with young players. Not every teenage sensation becomes world class immediately. Most players evolve slowly and finally fulfill their potential around 26 years. This is what happened to world class players like Salah, Benzema, Lewandowski, and Lookman too. Congrats to our Naija star.
