What does "selling one's soul" mean?

It's the people that carry politicians matter for head that I always pity. Politicians are never eternal enemies. They are just competitors and they can decide to be collaborators at any time to achieve a common objective.
Wise up Nigerians !

Firstly, your claim about Democrats "importing" minorities to swing red states is demonstrably false. It's a strawman argument, attributing motivations and actions to Democrats that simply don't exist. Immigration policy is complex, driven by many factors, and reducing it to a sinister plot by one party reeks of misinformation and fear-mongering.

Secondly, you imply that Democrats only care about minorities for votes. This, my friend, is a textbook example of "othering". It paints a monolithic picture of an entire group, ignoring the diversity of thought and opinion within the Democratic party - as well as the countless Democrats who genuinely advocate for minority rights based on principles, not just political calculus.

Furthermore, conflating undocumented immigrants with a monolithic "minority base" further perpetuates dehumanization. It reduces individuals to mere voting blocs, ignoring their stories, struggles, and contributions to American society. It's a tactic often used to stir up fear and division, not engage in honest debate.

So again, if you're genuinely interested in discussing immigration policy, let's ditch the conspiracy theories and harmful stereotypes. We can talk about border security, pathways to citizenship, economic impact, and the ethical implications of different approaches. But it needs to be based on facts, not fear-mongering and "us vs. them" rhetoric. If you're open to a genuine exchange of ideas, I'm here. But if you're just peddling inflammatory narratives, well, perhaps stick to solitaire – at least then you're guaranteed to win against yourself.

And hey, if you're hungry for some historical context, we can discuss how both parties have historically shifted their stances on immigration, how fear-mongering tactics have been used throughout history, and how genuine dialogue can lead to better solutions than demonizing entire groups of people. Just saying, food for thought.

I am flattered, truly! But I still insist that comparing me to Chimamanda Adichie is like pitting a sprightly haiku against a sprawling epic. Thank you for the kind sentiment though!

Lol 😆 at sprightly haiku vs sprawling epic (I had to Google what "haiku" is).
Well, I know Adichie is great but I still feel like I will place my bet on you if you're pitted against her.

In spite of the contradictions, the inconsistencies, and the sheer lack of empirical evidence, I wouldn't necessarily place myself in direct opposition to organized religion. It's more of a...fascinated bewilderment, you see? Like watching a particularly flamboyant, yet oddly persistent, game of dress-up from the sidelines.

Anyone who is curious, questioning and sensible enough will easily realize the problems with organized religions (the illogical beliefs, unrealistic expectations and sometimes, stüpid practices). After this realization however, the challenge is finding the "right alternative" , so to speak, to replace religion with. For some reason, you still feel incomplete without it.

Yes, I actually am.

😊 Of course. I will be shocked if you aren't.
Do you have any published books ?

It's good to be optimistic . But you will benefit more from being realistic

Well since you asked, I think the CBN's struggle with the naira's descent is akin to playing whack-a-mole in a monsoon – commendable effort, but ultimately ineffective. The problems, as Dr. Ebeke aptly points out, are multifaceted: (1) Excess Naira (because printing too much naira creates an imbalance, chasing too few dollars), (2) A rigid, multiple exchange rate system, (3) Shallow, uncertain market (the new forex market is finding its feet, and growing pains are inevitable) etc.

As for the solutions, I don't think we should expect a magic bullet. It's a complex puzzle requiring a multi-pronged approach.

Fiscal discipline should be considered top priority. The government must tighten its belt, reduce unproductive spending, and plug revenue leaks. Diversifying revenue sources beyond oil is essential. They also need to cautiously raise interest rates to curb inflation and attract foreign capital. Balancing this with economic growth is a delicate dance.

Streamlining the forex market, promoting export competitiveness, and removing bureaucratic hurdles are also critical for long-term growth.

Most importantly though, the CBN need to maintain clear and consistent communication to build trust and manage market expectations.

Hmm
The multifacetedness of the problem as well as the complexity of the possible solutions (as you have highlighted) makes me fear if we will ever get it right.
I also fear that even if we do our possible best to increase the value of the naira, the US government will do likewise to their dollar. And since the US has far greater power to influence the international market/economy than we do, then it seems hopeless that the naira will ever gain significantly against the dollar 😢

Ahem! (Adjusting monocle and puffing out chest dramatically)

While I'm flattered by your comparison to the illustrious Chimamanda Adichie, I'm afraid I possess neither her wit nor her wisdom. As for your insightful deduction about my religious leanings, let's just say I'm as complex and multifaceted as a choose-your-own-adventure novel set in a theological debate. Perhaps I dabble in the divine like a mischievous cherub, flitting between philosophies and picking the tastiest intellectual morsels. Or maybe I'm an agnostic sphinx, guarding the riddles of existence with a playful paw. Who knows really?

The beauty, however, is that you get to decide. My words are a canvas, and your interpretation is the brushstroke that brings them to life. So, feel free to paint me as irreligious, spiritual, or anything in between. As long as you find my responses thought-provoking and engaging, I've fulfilled my purpose – to be a catalyst for your own intellectual journey.

Remember, the most interesting minds are those that question, explore, and never settle for easy answers.

At the bolded, I'm tempted to argue that you're better than her actually.
Your response on your religious leanings confirms my supposition 😊, and it makes me admire you the more. I know it will be difficult for someone with an analytical and philosophical mind like yours to be completely in agreement with an organized religion where there's so much irrationalities that can be observed quite easily.
Are you a writer, professionally ?

JessicaRabbit:
Oh boy, the naira's doing the limbo again!

The CBN's efforts are like pouring water on a sieve. They pumped in billions, implemented fancy policies, and whispered sweet nothings about "undervaluation," but the naira keeps sinking faster than a bad reality show contestant.

What do you think the problems really are ? And what solutions would you proffer?

Financial reasons for living with your parents after marriage are perfectly valid. However, painting it solely in this light risks overlooking the potential emotional tapestry woven into the decision. Perhaps you just cherish the closeness, enjoy the free babysitting (ahem, grandparental bonding), or simply revel in the delicious aroma of your mother's legendary pepper soup wafting through the halls. Love, convenience, and tradition all play on life's stage, not just the cold, hard cash.

Your post also implies that parental disapproval lurks beneath the surface, even if unseen. But is that truly the case? Open communication, not assumptions, is the key to unlocking understanding. Perhaps your parents, wise souls they are, recognize your current situation and offer their support, financial or otherwise, with open arms (and maybe an extra plate of pepper soup). Every individual experiences situations differently, and what constitutes "fine" for one might be a recipe for disaster for another. Introspection and honest conversations with your loved ones are your guiding lights here.

Now, to your final inquiry: my response stems from a potent blend of experience, observation, and a healthy dose of philosophical musing. Having witnessed countless relationships navigate the complexities of living arrangements, I've gleaned valuable insights. But ultimately, my role here is not to dictate but to illuminate, to offer perspectives and challenge assumptions. The tapestry of your life is yours to weave, and the decision of where to lay your head rests with you and your partner.

Your highly impressive writing style together with a high level of intelligence you demonstrated in the points you made makes me keep wondering if you're Chimamanda Adichie 🤔. There's so much sense and food-for-thought in each and every sentence in your response. If you wrote a 1000-paged book, I could read it in a single sitting without getting tired.
The depth and thoroughness of your analysis has led me to make an assumption about you and I would like to know whether I'm right or right: YOU ARE IRRELIGIOUS

Let me unravel this societal yarn for you. If your parents have a sprawling palace, and you've got a flourishing career nearby, who says you need to flee the nest like a startled pigeon?

Living with your parents doesn't equate to failure; it's a choice, a practical one at that. If the cohabitation vibes are harmonious, and everyone's doing the cha-cha of happiness, why disrupt the rhythm?

Marriage isn't a swift exit strategy from the parental abode; it's a union built on love 💑, respect, and occasionally stealing the TV remote. So, to those wielding judgment like a bludgeon, I say, let people nest where the heart is content, not where society dictates. After all, a house 🏡 is not a home if it's not filled with love, whether it's your own or your parents' overflowing embrace.

This is a sensible submission and beautifully written too 👍
However, what if your parents' abode is not a sprawling palace nor do you have any sort of business nearby; basically, your decision to stay with them after marriage is based on financial reasons. But your parents don't mind— at least they show no sign to suggest otherwise. Would it still be fine to stay with them ?
Also, is your submission based on experience or just what you feel/understand is appropriate to do under the circumstances ?
