We must be living in different world. A friend wanted pounds for tuition fee in the UK, the bank advised him to get the money from Bdc and put it in his domiciliary account. And that was what happened. Another friend is in UK on holiday as we speak, the bank denied him PTA. Please let us be practical. That said there is no justification for banks to seller forex at black market rate.

I recently heard of someone who successfully processed his child's school fees via Form A with Access Bank.

If you say dollars are scarce at CBN, I might agree with you. The implication of the scarcity means it's not all valid bids that can get dollars. That's why banks may, from time to time, advise their customers to source for dollars from the parallel market. But still I don't see how they profit from this.

Point taken.. I am just pointing out the fallibity of such doctrine..the Bible said"do not define the matrimonial bed"..now did a man and woman who got the blessing of their parents and did the necessary rites before intercourse defile the bed?? I think not..why then will a church judge them to be defaulters because they have been blessed with the fruit of the womb..but judges the other couple fit to be wedded? So couple A and couple B have sex after their traditional marriage rites,but couple B is guilty because they got pregnant? Amazing logic..

Marriage under traditional rites is a beautiful thing and a value which is highly recognised by cultures especially from the south eastern part of nigeria.
However, the emphasis of the church is preservation of it's values on sexual sanctity. The church does not condone fornication and adultery. Unfortunately, there is no known medical procedure for determining who a fornicator is. The only person that can be "caught" is the person who is pregnant (you'd have to have s*x before you get pregnant) before wedding.

Again, there are couples (like those who you are advocating for) who have been joined in the traditional way and have consumated their marriage. Unfortunately, the church doesn't have provision for such to wear white garments. And that makes me wonder... if I have married my wife 'lawfully' in the traditional way, why must have to go to the church again? Afterall, there's no law that compels me to do church wedding.

I have a friend who recently did traditional and court wedding but no church. He's happily married and soon to be a father. Even church members recognise them as "Mr & Mrs"

HOW? always learn to buttress your assertion please.

I'm sorry for that. I have modified my earlier comments.

sarutobie:
I said lawful not legal..I chose my words carefully..a marriage that is witnessed and accepted by the families of both man and woman is lawful before men and before God that is my point.. A court wedding is a legal marriage before the government..I will consent to a church wedding because of my woman..but NOBODY can make me feel guilty for knowing my wife after paying her dowry and getting the blessings of both families..

"Lawful" connotes an agreement with requirements of the law. So, I agree that church wedding is lawful, but it's not compulsory. And again, the church preserves it's right to make it's bye laws/ requirements for every event which it is to be involved in. If the church is says a pregnant bride should wear colored clothing, then I think its your choice whether to do the wedding in the church or not.

The white gown is symbolic and if you don't fit into the criteria, then why do you want to wear it at all cost?

She's truly a star

I like her rising fortunes o. It tells us that when it's your turn, God will surely pick your call.
But all this razzmatazz will soon fade when the paparazzi shift their flash lights to newer headline sensations.
So, Jumoke must be trained to manage the financial success that she's enjoying right now.

sarutobie:
You guys have continuously failed to answer this question, what is marriage? When is a marriage lawful? Was anybody ever wedded in the synagogues? Any indication of such in the Bible?

For a marriage to be legal, It MUST be done in the court/local govt marriage registry. Any other form of rite is simply for traditional, religious or social values. Even the registry has its own requirements. You muddy meet the requirements before the join you. So why the fuss overchurch requirements? If you're not cool with them, then don't go to church. Simple.

Michellla:
religious extremists

No one is forcing you to have a church wedding. Traditional and court rites are enough. But if you must wed in a church, then you have to follow their rules - no sex before marriage. It's that simple.

Op, you have muddled up everything!!

Official rate is the rate at which CBN sells dollars to the qualifying members of the public through their banks. What qualifies for a bid are:
1. PTA/BTA (traveling allowance for those going abroad for personal or business reasons)
2. LC (for import of goods that are not delisted by CBN)
3. Form A (for overseas school fees or hospital bills)

Anyone who thinks any Nigerian government can give out N5000 to Nigerians for doing nothing, such a person must be a dullard - whether you are a Zombie or a wailer.

I won't tell you what everybody is telling you

Nobody is clamouring for or against honesty.

Or you can use a stone to kill two birds ;
Give him 100k, pocket 50k. You have his trust. Everybody is happy

Your boss expects 80k,give him the 80k... you made more than 80k! Ok that your inexperienced conscience is pricking you Mr nice guy, give am 100k, take the 50k! You earned it, you used your intellectual power.


What if you lost the 80k or you didn't make the expected amount of sales next time?

It's not just about the boss's "trust". It's also about karma. Like what someone said earlier, what if you had to spend the money you pocketed in selling emergency hospital bills?

I believe your brother's request is just a piece in the whole puzzle. Please hang on with your strong expectation, God will soon pick your call.

I don't care about all these.. .i just want APC and PDP members all dead.. Starting with Buhari...

Can Buhari just collapse and die already!

That's a bit strong don't you think?

chigoizie7:
because of his incompetent act, he was voted out so that a new person will do what he could not do, only for that new person to come and start repeating all those things from the past.

Where is d change den? As a new person criticising the past, u should do something different @least to justify why u were clamouring for change in d 1st place.


I am not doubting GEJ incompetent acts. U called him a failure, please stop using a failures acts as a yard stick to what u intend to do.

I am a Buhari admirer, but you have some reasonable arguments here. We need youths like you who are objective for balanced and constructive criticisms.

Injecting Ozone from space?! That's bull s.hit.
You talking like a secondary school chemistry student.
Lemme turn it up a bit, Humans produces CFC's from variety of activities e.g (heavy industries, combustion, gas flaring, deforestation, mining, burning, HCO's etc) which depletes the Ozone layer.
The more the population, the more the consumptions and demand for goods and services which will inturn leads to more damage to the ozone layer.
Human are depleting every of the earth's resources, vegetarians would blame meat eaters for killing the earth and vice versa.
Why do you think China put restrictions on births?!

Earth scientists are on a mission to save the earth by reducing human population by any means possible.

Never say never. If you can't conceive it doesn't mean it cannot be done by someone else who is making serious research.

I will wait for press briefing from Lie Muhammed by next week on how Buhari will retrieve the green house gases generated by GEJ that caused this global warming. Till then I comment my reserve.

Abeg don't derail this meaningful thread. This is not a wailers lounge.

Pidggin:
Buhari should just tell us that this fight against corruption is really a fight against PDP and nothing else.

EFCC has become a caricature, laughable, govt agency.

He who will come to equity must come with clean hands.

If their hands are clean, then the politicians have nothing to worry about.

LordAdam:
I don't like it when people say Nigerians voted PMB. Only 2 regions voted PMB to power. The other two did not fall under the APC spell. We have reiterated our stand with the gubernatorial elections and subsequent ruling.

The regions that voted him should not complain. Let them leave wailing for the two regions that saw the scam from afar.

-Lord

Hey friend, Nigeria is one undivided entity. If Buhari/ APC won the election, then it means Nigeria voted them in - and that's why Buhari is YOUR president. When Jonathan got into power, Nigeria voted him in, and not a selection of people.

If our leaders do fine, then we all benefit. But if they do badly, we all suffer it. So please let's put aside political, ethnic and regional sentiments and demand performance from our leaders.

Nice one!

The content of this msg is rich.
People should for once ignore the sender but take the msg.
The Lord can choose whoever he likes to deliver his msg and if you don't take it seriously na your own be that.

The message makes sense. Charly Boy can articulate it by himself. So he should not seek empty validation by calling Jesus into it.
