9jatriot: But I think if linked with NIN where people thumbprint and they (those in charge) give account based on the number of people (thumbprint) captured, that might reduce round tripping I think. |
Politics / Opinion: On The Effect Of Fuel Subsidy Removal And Floating Of Naira. by Lukgaf(m): 10:53am On Jan 30 |
Reflecting on the harsh consequences of fuel subsidy removal and the growing high rate of Naira to Dollar, coupled with the government's plan to have proceeds from fuels sold by NNPCL directly remitted to the CBN account instead of NNPCL's personal account, I explored multiple pages of comments on Nairaland where related was posted to gauge public perception of the new policy. See the thread here Subsequently, I engaged in a discussion with a good brother(a mathematician turned accountant), to gather insights on whether this move might address corruption within NNPCL and earn us more FOREX. In our conversation, we discussed various challenges facing our country. In summary, we agreed that while certain government policies, such as total subsidy removal and a floating Naira, are theoretically sound, their effectiveness is hampered by the complexity of Nigeria and the attitudes of our people. A few hours after our conversation, an idea surfaced in my mind on how to address the problem of food insufficiency, which disproportionately affects the poor and makes life challenging for civil servants. What if the Federal Government collaborates with private food companies, like Gunju farm Fresh, that sell food bags (e.g., Ramadan packages with 25kg rice, 5kg beans, and other items) for around 60k ? The government could purchase these items in bulk and sell them back to citizens at a more subsidized rate, say between 30-35k. To prevent corruption, they could incorporate people's National Identification Numbers (NIN) at authorized centers in each local government and provide a thumbprint before purchasing the subsidized food. Each NIN would be entitled to only one bag per month, curbing corruption among those in charge. In my opinion, this approach appears more effective than the current palliative measures that often fall into the hands of the greedy and corrupt individuals or where are the CNG buses, the rice and billions of Dollars they said they distributed? Additionally, such an initiative could create job opportunities as food companies would require more personnel thereby reducing the problem of unemployment. This strategy could be sustained until the subsidy removal regime is over, there is a stable exchange rate, and there is an increase in the new minimum wage. What are your thoughts on these?

Magnificenttop: I meant that the Samsung Galaxy s6 lite I told you about comes with everything including the app and the pen you were asking about. There's an inbuilt app called "Samsung note". So how do you still want me to reply you? I think brother, you should try and learn how to ask questions politely especially from people you haven't met before. Peace! 1 Like |

If you can tell me the answer to this simple math, I will accurately tell you your birthday. Ready? - Take the number of the month in which you were born (e.g., 2 if you were born on the 27th day of February). - Double the number (i.e., 2 x 2 = 4 ). - Add 5 to it (in this case, 5 + 4 = 9). - Multiply your result by 5 (i.e., 9 x 5 = 45). - Put a zero behind your answer (450). - Add your date of birth (450 + 27 = 477). By telling me the final answer from your own calculation, I can accurately guess your birthday! Watch the illustration here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx85X7U5ABg lalasticlala |

Islam for Muslims / The Certainty Of Death by Lukgaf(m): 9:27am On Jan 26 |
In this transient world, uncertainties surround every aspect of life, except one – death. It is an inevitable reality, a journey we all must embark upon, yet the when, where, and how remain elusive. Recently, I came across a poignant post on NL detailing the demise of a brother merely two days into his UK study venture. Another account recounted the passing of a fellow brother following a seemingly trivial headache. Such stories serve as a reminder that our turn will come, but the hour is unknown. So, are we preparing for the inevitable? Are we repenting from our sins? Are we striving to be better individuals each day? This is a call to evaluate our actions, align them with moral values, and strive to live in a manner that pleases Allah. Contemplating the certainty of death is not meant to induce fear but rather to inspire a meaningful and purposeful life. It is a call to righteousness, self-reflection, and sincere repentance. May Allah grant us a good ending (Aameen) 21 Likes 2 Shares |

Islam for Muslims / Re: Is Fasting In The Month Of Rajab Recommended? by Lukgaf(m): 8:26am On Jan 19 |
The sacred months are: Rajab, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and al-Muharram. Al-Bukhari (4662) and Muslim (1679) narrated from Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “The year is twelve months, of which four are sacred: three consecutive months, Dhu’l-Qa’dah, Dhu’l-Hijjah and al-Muharram, and Rajab Mudar which comes between Jumada and Sha’ban. 5 Likes |

Islam for Muslims / Steadfastness: Lessons From The Story Of Prophet Musa, His Mother, And Pharaoh by Lukgaf(m): 8:14am On Jan 19 |
There are valuable lessons to be gleaned from the story of Prophet Musa, his mother, and Pharaoh as narrated in the Holy Quran. One noteworthy lesson is the importance of steadfastness and patience in the face of Allah's decree. During Pharaoh's oppressive reign, he ordered the killing of male infants. Despite the cruelty of Pharaoh's regime, Prophet Musa was born at a time when a prophecy foretold the downfall of Pharaoh's kingdom at the hands of a male child. Remarkably, in an act of divine mercy, Allah orchestrated Musa's upbringing under the very ruler who sought to eliminate him. The Quran narrates, "We inspired Moses's mother, saying, 'Suckle him, and then, when you fear for his safety, throw him in the river: do not be afraid, and do not grieve, for We shall return him to you and make him a messenger" (Surah al-Qasas, verse 7). This directive may seem puzzling. Musa's mother, despite praying for his safety, was instructed to cast him into the river. However, Allah's plan unfolded perfectly as Musa not only survived but received an upbringing of distinction even in the household of his potential enemy. As Muslims, we are urged to draw lessons from this narrative. Regardless of our circumstances, gratitude and reliance on Allah should be our guiding principles. Often, we may feel that our prayers go unanswered, but Allah, in His wisdom, responds in ways that are ultimately in our favor. Even in moments when we believe all hope is lost, we must not despair, for Allah knows what is best for us. As stated in Surat Al-Baqarah (2:216), "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah knows, while you know not." May Allah grant us faith, and firmness in our resolve, and may He answer all our prayers. Inspired from one of the Tafseers of Shayk Dr. Luqman Idris (May Allah be protect him).

Islam for Muslims / Righteousness Is In Good Character by Lukgaf(m): 8:38am On Jan 12 |
This week, let's review the 27th hadith of the forty hadith of An-nawawih. For the past review, see here On the authority of an-Nawas bin Sam’an (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: In summary, this hadith teaches that righteousness is connected to good character and is noticeable by the tranquility it brings to the heart. Wrongdoing, on the other hand, causes inner unrest, regardless of external approval. The guidance to consult one's heart and rely on personal moral judgment emphasizes the importance of individual responsibility in matters of virtue and ethics. May Allah make us the people of righteousness. What lessons can you infer from the HAdith? 8 Likes 2 Shares |
