■ It was very convenient for you to save face, by picking on the "insufficient funds" i might well ask you what is "down the toilet" Since you are so sure CBN was using reserve to strengthen the Naira why not show us figures to back up your assertion Cardoso made two moves, one was to clear backlogs and the other requires handing register BDC operators $10k ? You guyz deliberately ignore the backlogs settlement took much of our reserve, cos that won't generate backlash
Emiefele defended Naira with our reserves and we saw a wide difference btwn official rate and parallel market, but in cardose case parallel market sold below official rate so how is that " defending "

You are still rambling cause I don't know why you are jumping all over the place!

As for the backlogs, the CBN announced on March 21st that it had all been cleared. And as at that point, the Reserves were still at $34.1 billion. So what has that to do with this conversation?
CBN Settles All FX Backlog, Reserves Hits $34.1BN

Islam and Catholics come from the same place — Actor Pete Edochie

They are both religious systems designed as a form of Government allowing ordinary men to rule as gods over their fellow men, many at times, by pretending a connection exists between the man at the top of the hierarchy and a higher deity.

■ Last week, A man came from one of the villages to sale garri in Akpan Andem market Uyo. He was selling 3 cups for #500 and he was arrested by those garri sellers in the market. Akwa ibom have it so bad. There's a union for even vegetable and pepper sellers.

Does it cost them all the same amount to harvest, process, transport, and sell their wares? Why should he have been arrested, and by whom?

When you see some people speak how happy they are the naira is loosing it value against the Dollars u will weep for Nigeria.
Factors involve include greed, some of there candidate lost election and so they prefer the Nigeria get it wrong for them to prove a point.
I don't know if this is the way it is done in advance economies.

You are kidding, right? Your politicians are purchasing houses and paying school fees in dollars. DO you think they are concerned for your sake?

helinues:
How about the debts we serviced?All this pokenosers self. The government never said they defended Naira

It never did But as soon as the Government eased off the reserves, the value of the same Naira began to plummet again...Interesting, right! The value of the Naira has already fallen back to where it was on April 5th as we speak.

■ He doesn't even call to know about his children welfare I know I am lucky to be abroad I work and my children don't lack anything. They will grow up fine and become useful in the world by God's grace. I know the struggle would have been worst in Africa raising 5 children alone I wouldn't have been able to do it alone that's why I am thankful to be abroad but I am still heartbroken by his action. I am totally depressed sometime I feel like given up but I have to be strong for my children.
■ My advice to Nigerian men abroad please please I beg you in the name of God if you are not ready to be with foreigners do not date or marry them with false hope then to abadoned them later. Remember you have sisters and daughters too.

The good news is that you are not in Africa. So, thank your stars for that! The other good news is the man is still not in Africa cause that means you can still demand support for your kids. So, wake up and begin divorce proceedings or whatever else you want to ensure he pays support for the kids with you. Ensure that he does not get away with even a single payment. You had the kids with him so it is equally your responsibility to ensure those kids are taken care of by you. Get yourself therapy if you need it as you need to be very strong for your kids at this point. Remember, they too lost the one they believed was father only to them.

■ If you can open your eye to see,all these epistle is unnecessary who is telling you to hope ? i stand is as Naira is fighting to regain value those thinking it will reflect instantly on prices of goods should exercise patients, bad travel on the speeed of 6G yle good roll on GPRS ...
■ The difference between the era of past leaders and the present is the revolution of refineries we are witnessing ... dangote refinery and its relieving impact on our import deficit and dollar demand is a valid HOPE Price of diesel is at how much now, 2 x reduction just within two weeks, if thats not HOPE what do you call it

Up until April 19th when the Naira began to take a plunge in the other direction, the fighting merely involved pouring down Billions of Dollar reserves down the toilet. After Nigerians discovered what the Government had been doing in the name of fighting to get back the value of the Naira, they took their hands off the reserves, and in less than a week, the Naira has fallen back to where it was around April 5th. That is to show you the maga-maga that was going on. However, you choosing to stay blind to it, is your problem entirely.

2. An entire current of over 220 million people and their only hope in the year 2024, is in one man and his cooperation, Dangote? You no cringe at all when you dey type that thing?

∆ Jesus is the last Prophet and he claimed he will sent the Holy Spirit! Is the holy spirit not coming after the last prophet?
∆ What is he coming to do? And is the Holy spirit not same as Jesus and the father?
∆ So if Jesus is a Prophet then the father is a Prophet and the Holy Spirit is same!
∆ False premise! Who calls Jesus Prophet! And of course there will be many false Prophets like Paul after Jesus!

1. Is the holy Spirit a Prophet too? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

2. The holy Spirit is definitely not coming to be a Prophet, that is for sure. 😂😂😂😂

3. The Father is a prophet? Are you for real? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

4. What exactly do you gain from all these blind arguments for Pete's sake. 🤔

How could it be a false premise when not only was His coming prophesied. but at least 2 Prophets who came before Him -- John and Anna -- verified that He was indeed the last spoken of? Jesus Christ was the Last Prophet sent by God of Israel to His people before His final Judgement was rolled out against them. This was prophesied by most all of the prophets including David to whom God promised to make the Covenant through.

The meaning of the term Prophet as used by the God of Israel is explained in the Law of Moses. Jesus Christ is a Prophet because He meets the criteria as one born of Israel, chosen and sent to Israel by the God of Israel with direct communication from Him to booth.

Paul was not a prophet since he was a believer in Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ never did promise to send any prophets.

AbuTwins:
∆ You have the right to your opinions which are of course logically untrue and scientifically incorrect. "God of Israel" is limited to Israel. God is bigger that just being of Israel.
∆ So all these processes do not include reproduction? Test Tube babies still need fertilization and cell division!
∆ Unreligious Entity!

This isn't an opinion but a scriptural fact. Jesus Christ made clear that no one who comes after Him or believes in Him can be a Prophet, Shepherd, Teacher, Guide, Head/Authority etc. over anyone who belongs to Him. He alone is King and head over His.

Yes, God of Israel, limited Himself to Israel. So, Mohammed has no portion where He,God of Israel, exists. That is a Scriptural fact, mnd you!

2..Instead, what they show is that as a human being your idea of what even reproduction entails is severely limited to begin with. So for you to think you get to define or decide how or whether a deity can or cannot propagate His beingness amounts to human stewpidity.

3. Clearly, religion breeds pretty much the same kind of something almost toxic to the mind no matter which angle you look at it from.

∆ You should have quoted the verses alone without Amy further explanations on them now... Lol. You must be a teen... Bye ya

Argh! I see! OK.

So, let me get this straight.

A. Given what God of Israel said in Numbers 12 vs 1 - 6, do you believe that dreams and prophecies as defined by Him belong as part of His Law of Moses?🤔

B. Given that the God of Israel, at the close of the Last Days, put a seal on Prophets and visions - Daniel 9 vs 24- both of which were made available by way of a special clause in His Old Law of Moses? 🤔

C. Given the proclamations made by Jesus Christ in Matthew 24 & Mark 13 & Luke 21, do you believe thr Last Days --- tribulation included --- took place about 1900 years ago as He said? 🤔

D. Given what Jesus Christ Himself said of the communication of the Holy Spirit, sent to His followers by the same God of Israel, do you believe dreams and visions, both not indicated, are not included for those who are in the Kingdom of God? 🤔

I do have a steady supplier...(funny right?). Moreover, at that time of the year, I do have swamp turtle infestation around my farm. So, it's free food for all.

Infestation or migration? 🤔

Last I checked, we are the ones encroaching much of their space. So are you certain it isn't instead the case that your particular farm happens to be in the path of their migration? This as opposed to your "Infestation" theory which seems less likely to be the case? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

jidestroud:
This happens to be my special way of preparing Turtles. Walahi, turtle meat sweet die...
Fortunately, 5 swamp turtles would be used to Prepare;
1. Egusi soup (melon soup)
2. Peppersoup
3. Fried stew

How much you buy dem? Nah for turtle farm farm they grow them?

False. In any social structure or organisation, there must be a leader. This applies to all animals, except solitary animals. Marriage is the most basic human social structure, and for it to be successful, there must be a defined leader/head. Now, that leader does not mean dictatorship, and it might even not necessarily be the man. In some cases the woman takes on the responsibility of leading the family.

So mutually beneficial friendship no dey again. Dem no quality as social structure. There must be a leader among friends/companions/partners etc., or else friendship no go dey success? Na wa oo🙄

BeigJawnson:
∆ Listen up pal, you quoted verses of which I am not against them, all what I called heresies are all your interpretations to the verses you quoted. So, what is the point arguing with you? Stop to argue with you now means I have ego?
∆ Move on... Go to next phase. I am leaving you with your opinions. Please spare me. Gone are the days I argue with people alots ... I have grown past that phase. I ain't a teenager anymore.

1. I didn't interpret any one of those verses as I simply regurgitated what was written. So, care to show me this "interpretations' you accuse me of making? 🥱

2. Again, I offered up no opinions since I consume Scripture as is written. So, you would need to point out these opinions you accuse me of posting or acxept you are merely blinding fishing for reasons to use me so as not to accept the Truth of Jesus Christ as presented right there in Scripture. 😁

That is a considerate father right there.

BeigJawnson:
∆ Lol... I can't stop laughing... You said it earlier that I can't argue with Jesus. And I asked, are you now saying you are Jesus? I expected you to clear yourself with what I asked, instead you said I mistaken you to be Jesus, how ever, I never said you are Jesus. See, not arguing with you never means ego

†** 🥱

Again, Your question was clearly out of line given I am not the author or speaker of any of the scriptural references I presented thus far.

Look, nothing of this is about my person. If you would damn your ego/swallow your pride for even a second, you would see this for yourself by now.
Not a single opinion of mine is included in any of what I have posted thus far.
