The importance of going thru Secondary school education can never be undermined. Which secondary school the man you are asking to tackle insecurity attended before going to Chicago?

TimeManager:
Kids of nowadays, SMH!. When you stopped history in schools, this is what you get- ignorance!, blissful ignorance!. If you knew the level of great hardships that our parents went through during the period, you won't be here heaping a satanic worship on a man who initiated the begining of economic woes on Nigeria. With the introduction of SAP, IBB destroyed the economic foundation and progress of the country. In one fell swoop, naira was devalued by 500%, then up to 2000%, our debts increased to about $34billion, inflation rose to 54%. We could barely service our short term loans and thus, sellers overseas were reluctant to sell goods to us. Till today, we haven't recovered from SAP, IMF, World Bank captivities that IBB led us into and guess who was the Finance minister at the time, an economist and an ex-World Bank staff, Dr Kalu Idika. Kalu. If there's anyone that should be tied to stake and shot, it is these two evil geninuses.

-kiss the truth!

The Nigeria of 1978, $13,100 was ₦10,220. What is the rate today? Bad leadership and corruption destroyed our economy.
Once upon a time in Nigeria, Naira was above dollar. That was when we were GIANT of Africa. Not anymore.
Then, $13,100 was ₦10,220
Today, $13,100 is ₦19,650,000.

Congratulations to all the supporters of failed government and corruption

Nigeria's crude oil cargoes have already been contracted far into the future. And we have a quota from OPEC. This is not new. When then President Obasanjo and Yar'adua introduced the National Integrated Power Project, the NNPC could not supply the NIPP gas because Nigeria's gas had already been purchased in future contracts far into the future. And if you break those contracts, Nigeria would be taken to arbitration. That is why the Dangote Refinery is buying crude from America. Because it is a private company that will get its supply from anywhere it can to meet its own set targets and timelines.

Is it the beans market before Auta, along Goshen road?

Nice2023:
50kg.

Nice2023:
I went to beans village at the outskirt of Abuja with the Hope I was going to buy beans at a pocket friendly price ,but i was shocked at the current price.


After having budgeted 20k for it, I got there only to be told that,the price was about 51k.

Immediately i remembered the price might further go up,I just I had to bargained and I eventually met a borno woman who sold her iron beans at 44k to me.

The inflation has finally affected everything especially food.

I wonder how it would be in time to come.

FarmPlanetNG:
There is a reason they are called " PERISHABLES " in the forst place.


Who buys tomatoes for preservation for a year.

In atomic chemistry and physics, a phenomenon exists that is called half-life. By principle, it also exists in biological sciences. The half-life principle when it comes to food and its kinds theoritisizes that the quality of all kinds of foods in life reduces in quality each day until ut becomes ordinary shaft ( death process )

What i am saying in essennce is that it is to your great disadvantage to buy raw foods for long term storage because the nutritional components of the foods becomes broken and broken down by each day. You will eat it but what makes it nutritous and nourishing for the body completely breaks down molecularly and by the time you eat it after prolonged storage the butrients in it would have diminished by as much as 50-70% hence life by this principle encourages continous work so no one stores and refused to work further


I am saying aby storage of tomatoes, vegetables, pepper for long term is a disadvantage.

Nice2023:
See the tomatoes I bought yesterday,due to recent hike in everything,I decide to store up food for the year to avoid being caught unawares.


Although it hasn't been easy at all but with a man with four children,u have no option but to ensure u have the food at home and keep everyone moving.

Below is the tomatoes which cost me 15k at Deidei Market Abuja.

Lyft can only be held responsible here if the incident was reported, there is little evidence against Lyft especially if they can show that the trip ended hours before the incident occured. Lyft can't be held responsible for what their drivers do OFF trip! That's why their drivers are contractors not employees!

Did you read at all? Paternity test already confirms the father, I'm guessing the guy is a bum hence the bigger money maker is going after the rideshare company.

eyinjuege:
There is DNA evidence of who thw rpaist is. Read the whole article

I'm not sure why he wasn't criminally prosecuted, though it states rape may be difficult to prove even though he's the father of the child

There's an post of the front page of an elderly woman raped by a laborer colleague and he murdered her afterwards by crushing her skull with a huge brick. She wasn't drunk, I'm sure she wasn't indecently dressed either. Rapists are evil

The Answer you seek lies in two places
1) the floor plan
2)the nature of your land (sloppy or flat)

However for a basic 2bedrooms bungalow to finish, keep atleast 4m.

Attach is a 2 bedrooms designed by us with flat roof and construction cost is way above the 2m threshold

Pics 1 design
Pics 2 build




It will also interest you to see how the nature of you land affects construction cost. check out our live construction thread of bungalow flats on a very sloppy land.

I suspect she may avoid the desert and drive around it by following the west African coast instead. If you check her map. That is exactly what she is doing. There is no way that her small car would survive the Sahara.

😄😄😄😄 inner ascendancy. That’s the perfect qualification hehe. It’s just something about Nigerians, or maybe I should say black people as a whole because it happens in African American forums too, they love to rush in just to disagree with you, absolutely nothing else to contribute but they just love to argue and disagree and tell you how much of a weed smoker you are 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. It’s hilarious . What can you do ? Just laugh and move on. It’s all great stuff though cuz like I said it takes all sorts. People enjoy being disagreeable. That’s their fun. So I let them catch their fun and I catch mine. Meanwhile Chief I believe that is a pivotal point in our history. It appears like a civil war is loading up within America. Opposing factions and troops are gathering in Texas to fight it out. The world has gone mad bro but I am here for it 😄. Top of the morning and happy new week to you Chief

Episode 2: Mobilization and Alliances

Nations prepared for war, forming alliances that would shape the course of battle. The mobilization of troops and resources signaled the beginning of a conflict that would span continents.


In the early years of the 20th century, the geopolitical landscape of Europe was a complex web of alliances and rivalries. The tensions among major powers were palpable, and the political maneuvers that unfolded set the stage for a conflict of unprecedented scale – the First World War.

The Gathering Storm

As whispers of war circulated through the halls of power, nations recognized the need to secure alliances that would strengthen their positions on the global stage. The intricate dance of diplomacy reached its zenith as nations formed alliances, creating a delicate balance that held the potential for both stability and catastrophe.

In the heart of this geopolitical chessboard were the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance. The Triple Entente comprised France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, while the Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy. These alliances were not mere paper agreements; they were complex webs of mutual defense pacts and political understandings that bound nations together.

The Mobilization Begins

The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand served as the spark that ignited the flames of war. As tensions escalated, the nations within these alliances faced a critical juncture. The mobilization of troops and resources became the order of the day, a grim realization that war was not a distant possibility but an imminent reality.

The mobilization process was a monumental undertaking. Across Europe, the machinery of war rumbled to life. Reservists were called up, and conscription measures were enacted to bolster the ranks of standing armies. Factories shifted their focus to wartime production, churning out weapons, ammunition, and supplies at an unprecedented pace.

The Domino Effect

The mobilization efforts were not isolated events; they triggered a domino effect that reverberated across the continent. Germany, bound by its alliance with Austria-Hungary, declared war on Russia. In response, France, allied with Russia, found itself thrust into the conflict. The intricate web of alliances dictated the course of battle, transforming what could have been a localized conflict into a full-scale war involving multiple nations.

The scale of mobilization was staggering. Trains crisscrossed the continent, transporting troops to the front lines. Ports buzzed with activity as navies prepared for naval engagements. The mobilization was not only about soldiers but also about the mobilization of entire societies, as civilians on the home front contributed to the war effort through industry, agriculture, and various support roles.

The March to War

As the world watched in anticipation, the mobilization of troops and resources signaled the beginning of a conflict that would span continents. The march to war was relentless, and the alliances that had been formed in peacetime now dictated the alliances on the battlefield.

The mobilization and alliances of the First World War were a symphony of geopolitical maneuvering, military preparations, and societal transformations. The decisions made during this critical phase echoed through history, shaping the narrative of the war and influencing the destiny of nations.

In conclusion, the mobilization and alliances that preceded the First World War were not mere bureaucratic exercises; they were the building blocks of a global conflict that would leave an indelible mark on the 20th century. The decisions made in those crucial moments set the world on a path of unprecedented upheaval, testing the mettle of nations and redefining the concept of modern warfare.
