Which village do you reside? Leave there, you're living in the dark. Yea, "the write up is pure sensationalism. It lacks facts and merits"... Typical of an asslicker. Olodo labata!

Lol... sorry Mr 21st century smart ass that resides in the big city. Keep living in your fantasy world of delusion, denial and depravity.

5 years from now, if you still keep this your pitiful attitude, then I'm sorry for you!

We are a country of polarised and highly opinionated people. We lack decorum as a people, and we always want our voices to be heard first. At the end of the day, everybody is talking and no one is listening.

It's a vicious cycle that we have put ourselves. So deal with it until Buhari leaves office come 2019. Then, we will pounce on the next executives.

That's the way we roll!

I would rather be dead than not have my free will to insult this administration and it's components, with Bubu as the head..

I shall insult them till death do us part.

To hell With APC!! !!!!!!!!

Whoa! Please don't allow nigeria's politics to raise your bp. It's not healthy for a sharp mind as yours.

Sorry, the only one talking trash here is you! You an ignorant fellow, I have two online shopping/payments and you're here talking rubbish.

If you are able to recently make successful online payments, then I'm sorry for the trash talk.

However, CBN has announced temporary embargo on Nigerian ATM cards for use in the US, UK, China and some other countries. Same goes for online payments going to these countries. My bank (Access) has also communicated this to their customers via email. I've also tried severally to use my card but without success. So I think yours is actually an exception.

Still the write up is pure sensationalism. It lacks facts and merits.

Happy birthday to a successful business mogul, controversial politician and amble personality. To Ben Murray Bruce!

This story is becoming stale don't you agree? That was why we voted change. Now we have the greatest fraud ever in our history via the budget. A whopping #2.2trillion is about to be borrowed to fund #2.2trillion fraud in the budget. At least the past administration stole from our earnings. This administration is about to mortgage the welfare of the future generations for its own stealing.
The following indicator should open your eyes;
The diversification strategy of the current govt is a joke when we consider the budgetary allocation of the past govt for critical sectors like agriculture. GEJ allocated 1.6% to agriculture. Buhari reduced it to mere 0.48%.
What is the economic direction of the current govt?

I agree that you have your rights to express your opinion on national matters. I won't go down that lane with you.

What I am saying before is that I don't agree with sensational write ups. This facts given by the op are scattered and distorted.

By the way, as you lay your bed so you lie on it. If you don't inculcate the habit of prudence, you will suffer for it on the rainy day. Simple.

Stop talking trash or what you don't know, last week Friday I did online purchases using my visa card and I was charged N315/$ by Access bank, people using First bank said they were charge N322.5 that same day. People that did online purchases yesterday using their visa/master card said they were charged N385/$ and you're here talking garbage. As usual asslicking your 75 y/o change president.

Banks have stopped online payments for online shopping. All these numbers you're throwing around na wash. Try Aliexpress, Amazon etc. Payments won't go through.

So stop talking trash.

If you like combat game, then go for "Injustice: Gods Among Us". That's what I've been rocking on my Samsung Galaxy Tab since January!

Now feminists too will soon asked for their own smiley. What about those who fvck animals? Oh it isn't "yet" legal. I suggest they add smilies of Indians marrying cows before they start protesting.

This is the smartest synicism I've seen so far on the issue of homosexuality. But whatsapp and other giant commercial enterprises don't run their business on sentiments. They have done their research and have seen the spending power of homosexuals as an economic bloc. That is why they have to redesign their products and services to appeal to this bloc.

Remember that they are not doing this for Nigerians, they are doing it for America and the people that accept their way of life.

Nothing personal. It's just business!

Bolade005:
Bro, it means you're not getting the job. Move on.

This is what ut means. Please just move on Baba God will soon pick your call.

I've seen the video. They aren't Nigerians. Probably South Africans. Anything goes in Jo'bough!

cruzita:
hian!!!! whick kind love be this one?I hope say no be chop and clean mouth love be this

You dey ask again?

AdeniyiA:
You think this government caused this?
do you know the story of our economy for the past decades,that it's been a monoeconomy and our past leaders have been clueless about how to diversify?
if it's going to get better, it has to get this bad

Let's narrate a short story to help them understand.

Oga John is a Banker. He earns a fat salary and gets quick promotion on his job. Life has never been so good. He built a very big house and has five cars in his fleet. Apart from maintaining his family, he also caters for other people's needs. A very generous man he was.

He is so sure that his salary would come at the end of the month, so he blows hos money on exotic drinks, women and all the pleasures of life. He never cared to invest. He never even saved for a rainy day.

One day, the bank had to restructure, and sacked top management staff. Oga John was affected.

Barely two weeks later, Oga John could hardly pay his bills. Debts are accumulating and things are falling apart.

Now relate Oga John's Story to Naija's case. Who is to blame? Do you blame a new government that has come at a perilous time or do you blame the generality of past governments and our poor mentality of "eating national cake"?

This is a watery report aimed at attracting cheap popularity. My reasons:
1. Exchange rates for online transactions are not set by the banks. They are determined by Visa International and Matter Card.
2. Exchange rates for online purchases have never risen up to N299. It was N226
3. CBN has blocked the use of ATM for online purchases.
4. CBN does not release forex to individuals. The revised Dutch Auction System (DAC) requires Banks to bid on behalf of their customers at the Inter Bank Sessions. Successful bids get the approved Dollars. So there's no way CBN can arbitrarily sell to their friends and cronies.
5. The restriction of sale of Dollars to certain businesses is a temporary measure taken by the CBN to manage the demand on the Dollar. Generally, this measure excludes goods that have substitutes that are produced in Nigeria. Not that they are "irresponsible", but why would you fund the importation of a commodity that is abundantly produced in Nigeria?

Let's wait and see

TY Bello over to you.

DIKEnaWAR:
Yes! I will always be below a Learned silk and vacate the inner Bar for him whenever he enters the Court, till I become one myself.

As for your calling them thieves: these are the men your father and his generation couldn't become. That is why you are attacking them.

Worm!

Dike is prepared for war! Abeg tell those SANs to give regards to their exalted wigs.

eleojo23:
90 SANs?
I can imagine the scene if all of them decide to argue the case at once.

It would be Fuji court of commotion

Too many cooks spoil the broth!

It's just a show of harassment and intimidation. Nothing more.

It's only one active counsel. The others are just there for the show.

But remember o, the favour didnt come to meet her still lazying on bed on Monday, but met her in course of her working diligently.

Where will your ground breaking favour find you and I?

Sammy UMS/UMG

This almost brought a tear close to my eye! May God honour our hustings.

DeathStroke007:
so you think because you are poor, you can do any immoral thing to get rich? have you forgotten that you will die? have you forgotten the punishment of the grave. ?


Subhanalah

Shut up there you nitwit. Is she na-ked? Describe the statistcs of her nkedness that you've seen in the picture. Perverted mind.

Elosky20:
Can you show only Nigerian movies in your Cinemas please, that is why the US dollar is so strong

Now this is common sense!

Alibaba, your command of English too is woeful. Especially considering your exposure and level in society. I expected better grammar from you.

BenBruce4Presdt:
I completely agree with you without any doubt..
Bt you see, I am a WAILER as well as BenBruce and you may find it hard to pin a point from what he says, because maybe you already made up your mind on issues as it concerns politics in Nigeria and PDP being corrupt and and all their members deserves death for having looted the country.

For the record.. I am neither PDP nor APC.

I personally find passion for genuine interest in his tweets, especially on youths and the less previlgd and that is where my love for him stops.. I don't know anything about his personal life and won't claim knowledge of his personality either.


I only wish people forgo ethnicity, tribalism, sectionalism, religion and watch for people with Upto date minds in our polity for reference.. That is one of my reasons for picking him out..

I never said he is a saint or you did not make a sensible point.

Bigotry, nepotism and sectionalism etc won't get us anywhere in this nation. You're on point. I am apolitical too. I want to see a leader who will look at critical economic issues, rather than fight dirty on party lines.

Ben Bruce used to be my childhood hero.He was very strong on the entertainment world with MBGN, Miss World etc. He ran Silverbird very well and even brought some reforms into NTA during his office as the DG. He has done very well in private enterprise. I feel his esteemed office as Senator in the NASS is a well deserved accolade in recognition of his immense contribution to society.

But his recent rants are just scattered all over the place. When he started, I was like... let's hear what he's saying. But after a while, I discovered this is just a ploy to use social and electronic media to position himself for more exalted position.

As far as I am concerned, BMB is just another politician manipulating the blind sentiments of the people (especially the youth) to foster his ambitions.

wiseabuo:
Oga common sense,u are on point o,hope someday wen we vote u as d president of d our great country,u will execute ur plan 4 d masses.

Dear Mr Common Sense,

All that common sense gibberish na wash. I think as a true leader, you should take a holistic view at national matters. You don't just throw punchlines at different actions/initiatives taken by the government which you oppose. You oppose a government not because you have the interest of the people at heart, but because you are nurturing your own aspirations.

If you are a true economist, please come out and talk intelligently on economic plans and not just fire rejoinders against whatsoever comes out of Aso Rock. I don't consider your approach as making common sense.

You may hold the media, but you don't have control over the minds of everybody.

BenBruce4Presdt:
NL is filled with comedians and you have to be tactical to scale their comical approach to issues..

I mean, I find it funny that people easily take thing very personal here and that can be very dangerous, or don't you think?

I quite agree with you if you say Nigerians (such as Ben Bruce and my proud self) express their opinions rather passionately. We are easily polarised by issues, and we tend to pass our opinions using rather strong statements.

This act may be primitive and egotistic, but even Ben Bruce uses that approach to pass accross his so-called "common sense"

If you see something worthwhile in his ideals, why don't you let us see your point of view? Failing which, I will still hold on to my own common sense which tells me that an empty barrel make the loudest noise!

NEHLIVE:
... How can a bank not care about its customers. Is it fair that I get myself electrocuted in the process of collecting my hard earned money?...

You saw imminent danger and you still went ahead to use the ATM? What happened to the other ATM terminals in Mile 12?

SurefireAsoOke:
Are u ready to tak responsibility for the two kids?

This, my friend, is the soul of the matter. Any other issues are secondary.

Think deep and hard about the question above. Nobodh can - and should answer this for you.

BenBruce4Presdt:
Anger!

Beware of your health.. .

The guy is using very cheesy approach. Come on...

Empty vessels make the loudest noise. His audience will soon get weary of his rants and probabably start getting irritated too!

This old (clueless) man that is being criticized for wanting to hand out biscuits to school children is taking small steps in the right direction. If you can't see that, then I'm sorry for you. He successfully removed the almighty subsidy and even reduced pump price!

A reasonable person should give cogent criticism and enough with this commom sense(lessness).

rittyben:
I plan on doing same to my guy. He will understand though

Then get ready to get dumped.

The masters program is the biggest thing in her life right now. If she didn't share the planning and the process with you, then you're in the friends zone (distant one at that).

Use your head correctly.

One day she'll tell you she has a pleasant surprise for you, and she'll show you the diamond ring that her fiance used in proposing to her at the Nick's game. And she'll still expect you to be happy for her.

O boy use your head correctly.
