I donnot converse with bunch of hypocrites that live in denial..... Cos it isn't worth it..... Have a nice day sire

You seem to enjoy crushing anyone that has opposing opinions. I can understand your attitude as you are part of these black animals which you so much detest. Your mind is so black that rather than proffering solutions, you only sit there and spit out so much venom that you end up polluting the minds of the vulnerable few.

I've seen some of your comments where you intimidate some commenters based on age. I'd advise you to stop that. Maturity is not in chronological age but in the development of the mind.

The way a man thinks in his heart so he is. Think about it.

They just used the accusation of homosexuality to get back at the council man who has not done their bidding.

Violent end awaits those who deny their fellow men life and justice.

...what's his reason for this nonsense act?...

I wonder!

imhotep:

Better still, go and offer sacrifices in the shrine of Amadioha

Lol... I think praying to the one and only true God is ok

imhotep:

Stop using colonial religious ideas of "prayer" to confuse yourself

Psalm 122:6
1 Corinthians 1:18.

Don't resort to wailing alone. Pray for your dear country because that is the staying point.

You may wail, but also pray for nigeria.

mindfreaks:
...be patriotic... !

That is one virtue that is lacking in Nigerians. How many of us even pray for the country and it's leaders?

LEXYCOM:
Don't worry, by God's grace the supreme court will rule in her favour

"Don't worry "?? Are you the supreme Court judge?

thecommunist:
For all of you shouting justice this justice that, please tell me how many dangote trailer drivers have been convicted for reckless driving with the way they crush people to death with thier trailers? And i am a living witness to thier recklessness on the road. As far as i am concerned, this is a mere show of power on the part of LASG. It more like a retaliatory sentencing rather than justice being served. They want to make a show of her just to send out a strong message out there that they are not to be trifled with. Nemesis will be the final judge, and i am sure it wont dissapoint. Mark my words.

Regardless of your sentiments, justice has been served. The provisions of the law are there to uphold an equitable society.

You may not know, but many of thosr trailer drivers who are found guilty of reckless driving are sent to jail o. Especially where they cause the deaths of others. The only reason you are hearing about this one is because it involves a high profile personality.

campusflavour:
I feel for her, its just an accident, na why hit and run full everywhere

It's not just an accident. Someone died as a result of her reckless driving, causing agony to the family of the deceased.

This will serve as deterrent to reckless drivers.

It was actually that way before our unfortunate contact with Europe, unless you argue there was nothing like education before we met Europeans. If so, you have to explain to me how knowledge acquisition happened before then.

There's nothing difficult about having text books in our various languages. It's a question of translating them. That's the way it is in Europe!. No European country speaks the same language, neither as a language of instruction in schools nor for communication, except Belgium that partly speak French and German.

Guess what?. Belgium does exactly that. Text books come in German (for the north) and French (for the South).

Map of Europe by language.

The issue is Germans speak German. The French speak French. The English speak English. Nigerians speak over 300 different languages! So after acquiring formal education in your local dialect, how do you integrate into global community?

What comes to my mind is that the SAN and other 4 lawyers are not not doing this for free. So who is financing yunusa's defence? I guess some very powerful and influencial northerners.

In P Square's voice #wahala dey#

...This's why we need to revert back to our natural way of learning, i.e studying in our native languages...

So we should develop over 300 text books for chemistry ro cater for the various languages we have in Nigeria. Same for Geography, History and all the other subjects?

Id like to see Ababio in efik!

How do I believe this was not staged? adonbilivit

Toluabigr8:
See the reply I got for asking my boss my february salary

Go and read '48 Laws of Power', and learn how to relate with bosses.

Even though you are asking for your entitlement, your chat slows lack of respect for your boss (when will/are you...!). Secondly, his response indicates he has an ongoing issue with you which bothers on attitude. Thirdly, I'm sure your boss is technology savvy and you know he may soon get wind of this your thread - it shows you don't have any iota of respect/regards for him.

I'm not with you on this buddy.

Davido by his proffession, worldliness wudnt b strange. But a pastor? Was dis d kinda xtainity d apostles or christ lived?...comon, lets not deceive ourselves diz hip hop pastors have so much to answer on judgement day!

You read the pastor's defence right? Except there are clear evidences to prove that he lied, then his explanations are reasonable. Remember how Judas Iscariot grumbled when Mary Magdalene used very expensive and fine (perfumed) oil to wash the feet of Jesus. Remember Jesus's response?

If the party was thrown in his honour by some people, who feel blessed by his ministry, Then who are we to criticise him or those that put together the largesse?

kuuljay:
Why not collect the money and sow a seed in somebody's life

Sharrp there! If Davido threw a yatch party you no go criticise am.

What special abt dis guy dead sef. Do u Pple knw how many Nigerian dat has lost their life on that same road?

And how many of them have you condoled their families? Please show respect to the dead.

tsephanyah:
if Nigerian government can create jobs to those jobless guys trying to survive, all this crime rate will decrease, abd for the record the real criminals are out there and FG protecting them.

Dollars are being counterfeited in the US - that's in.addition to other crimes. So tell me something new.

tuniski:
The economic crisis has worsen cos of wasted time. They want to waste further time talking nothing new! This crisis is not unique in nigeria's history it is only the worst. And globally it is an old recurrence. Why not just have economic team sound enuff and chose a direction,why?

The govt needs an economic team with steel not this expediency summit. I am pained cos it simply confirmed buhari/apc to never actually have any clue or blue print just propaganda!

You spoilt your nice opinion with the ending part where you expressed dismay about blueprint/propaganda. What did you expect? Its always like that - nicely articulated manifesto and probably 'genuine' intent. But reality sets in after assuming office. Unanticipated economic dimensions set in, conflict of settling party loyalists, in addition to inherited issues.

But truly, what we need is a sound economic team (a select group of economic think tanks), rather than an economic summit (which sounds like an.attempt by government to play to the gallery).

This woman dn old oh, can see wrinkles all over her face

It's not age, but hardness of life. And it is gradually fading away. Just pray that God should pick up your own call.

The topic says lady and the post looks like that of a male, which one do we believe?
@thetopic, Rape goes way beyond indecent dressing although it can be a trigger or a contributing factor. How about small children been raped, did they also dress indecently?

Did he say indecent dressing is the root cause of rape?

Some people don't just know how to place their thinking in the right perspective.

Take a stand.

Bro, without giving the engine sizes of these cars, as well as the actual models of the Honda and Peugeot, how do you expect your query to be answered with any degree of accuracy??

Even two cars with exact specifications and year of manufacture can still have different fuel consumption rates. Health of the engines could be responsible for this. So, is best each car owner should carry out this exercise on their cars

plaetton:


C'mon man.
Be real.

A bank can make up a thousand fictitious customers in 5 minutes.
Don't forget, banks have been in this game since the Babangida days.

Lol... I give up!

plaetton:


Every week banks submit bids for dollars with the CBN.

The CBN, for example, sells them $20 at N200. So the bank sounds N4000 in total.

The the bank sells a paltry $5 to importers. Keeps $5 to fund the credit card transactions of it's customers at rates of say, N300 pee $1.

Then it funnels the remaining $10 to its vast network of BDC operators to sell at N350 or whatever the prevailing market rate.

So, in one week, the bank makes a profit of 50-70% with little effort, all thanks to the generous SUBSIDY from uncle government.

Gone are the days when banks buy dollars directly from the CBN. Remember the days of round tripping.

But now, what the cbn uses is revised dutch auction system. Banks bids on behalf of their customers and winning bids are provided with dollars at the "subsidised " rate. Credit card lines too are presented for bidding.

I know you know DAS. So there's no need referring you to google.

plaetton:


No sir.

The official rate is not N197 to $1.

There is no such thing as official rate.
That is a misnomer.

The real exchange rate is the rate at which buyers and sellers agree to transact.
In this instance, the BDC rate is the official Market rate.

On the other hand, we have the government SUBSIDY rate of N197 to $1.
This is the rate that government subsidized the banks, government agencies and select importers at the expense of the masses and the general economy.

It is also an indirect, fraudulent and pernicious way of taxing non-oil exports and remittances from Nigerians in the diaspora.

This fraudulent waste of scarce foreign reserves only distorts reality and our economy.

Right now, there is no saving grace for the Naira.
The chickens must come home to roost.

Very enlightening write up. So how do the banks benefit unduly from this?

fancyupage:
Please when a bank charge me black market rate for using my card abroad, are you saying they are getting the dollars from black market or CBN? How can the bank justify charging me black market rate for using my card abroad? It is either the bank is making profit or an extension of the black market.

Payments made on your card for online/international transactions are settled by Visa or Mastercard using their own exchange rates. So if youre using Visa Card, you can search for their current exchange rate on google. Same thing goes for Mastercard. In a nutshell, nigerian banks may charge a fee in addition to the exchange rate of the switching company.
