How does introducing N5000 bill help hold value according to CBN deputy director currency? The dollar is a more internationally convertible currency backed by a big industrialised economy etc. Naira cannot compete with it for now. How does introducing a big denom bill help promote a cashless economy? I cannot see how. if anything, it promotes moving large amounts of cash and risks worsening inflation. I wonder where they learnt their economics. |
You marry when you are ready. Although in most cases it is when the right person comes along. For ladies that want to have children, don't delay too much. Sometime ago, a black lady had to hear the news that she had reached menopause at 34! The prof had to tell her not much could be done in the state-funded healthcare system. This is in Europe. The above may be rare but fertility declines sharply after mid-30s in many women. Even male fertility has declined over the decades. If you don't plan to have kids, marry whenever you like. Peace. |
afam4eva: It's sad that a young lady like Cynthia was killed by some bastardss who have no regard fro human life. However i want to know why some news get a lot of mention than others. Why the media frenzy about this particular murder? is it that this kind of thing has never happened before or that it's been a long time since someone was killed like these? I'm just curious.. You see, even in a society numb to violence and brutality because it's too common, once in a while something happens that shocks everyone. Cynthia is an all Nigerian babe. The kind of daughter/wife/GF/bridesmaid/granddaughter/niece/aunt everyone would like to have. It takes a tragic event like hers to wake us up from our collective coma and realise our monumental failure as a society. I hope. |

You are only as good as the environment you find yourself in. Only very few extra-ordinary people can rise beyond their socio-political environment. Gani was one of them. Lawyers are only just a part of our uncaring, corrupt, cash & carry society. To expect them to be any different is to be unrealistic. Most are just as hungry and greedy like most others. In better climes, Naija would have very many good lawyers with utmost integrity and contributing massvely to national development. |
2goodbobo: Na wa for some gurls o! She no get parents ne? Abi she no get boyfriend?. Maybe her parents have 7 kids & live all in one bedroom. what if all her other boyfriends cannot raise that money for her? Maybe she even got talking to the poster because she needed money badly. |

No, I don't. I haven't upgraded my smartphones for sometime now. When we are on phone especially when she hears familiar names being mentioned, my under 2 daughter wants take the phone from you and put it on everyone's ear in turns. When she takes an apple from the fridge, she would also bring one each for every member of the family. Very generous! |
I guess it becomes self-evident when you finally divorce. Before NLers say that because people are not divorced doesn't mean that they are compatible, let me say that I have seen several rocky marriages that got better and still very strong years on. No. I didn't marry the wrong person. I had 3 fiancees over a period of 11 years plus before I met my mrs. |
last price? |

Their visas have not expired yet, so technically they have not done anything wrong. They would be only illegal after November. Even a UKBA official said so. |
There is nothing wrong with going abroad to study. I didn't study in Naija but I lived around an old Naija university campus. Most of the lecturers/profs in those days studied abroad. You gain a lot abroad if you chose your uni carefully. Fact is admission to top unis is very competitive so many naija settle for the middlesex unis of this world. Even the new unis like middlesex are good in many areas like IT & law etc. My prof at an old London uni sent me years back to do some work under a prof at London met. They have good lecturers and some are pretty good in research in areas such as health policy, developing world health politics etc. Naija unis lack facilities. Naija trained doctors do a marvellous job here in Europe, so ability is certainly no issue, just better training is needed. |
afam4eva: My mistake. I didin't even think of those old historical universities. I was actually referring to those schools that are mostly in london that are springing up everyday like buka. They give every 1diot an admission as long as you have the money to pay.. Afam, good that you have corrected yourself. The following unis are in London too: UCL-1826 King's College London-1829 Imperial College 1907 LSE 1890s Having been associated all these unis at some point (work or education), they are all top notch. |
It's ok for those who can afford it. Some do it to keep up with the Joneses if they can't really afford it. |
155k. Does it have original documents? |
Nightshift: You seem to be terrified by educated and successful black women. Insecure men feel that way always !. What's successful about a receptionist or bank teller on £19k a year? I have female colleagues of all races on up to £110k annually. Many of those black women come from a culture where it is common for their men have babies with many ladies everywhere (and many of their men not working/educated) and they think every black man is like that. Are you one of those arrogant black women with terrible attitude and bad manners who think the whole world is against them? I only feel embarassed to see the way some behave themselves. |
please more details about the Ikorodu land with C of O for 500k. Is it in an estate? Is it a global C of O under process or a ready one? |
[quote author=hagma37@yahoo.com][/quote]. I am not in that situation so I cannot speculate. In theory, I'd consider using a surrogate mother in agreement with the mrs. |
Nightshift: Development to me means equal rights to our women , and opportunity to aspire to become successful in life like men. Or are you better off in a Saudi setting ?. I hope you don't read upside down. Did you see anywhere I said women should be unsuccessful or should not have equal right? I went to a Western University. Only those with the very top grades got admitted to my course then. There were more girls on the course than boys. Each person should get the chance he/she deserves. As for the very few blacks on the course, I noticed that they were from stable families and all their dads were well-educated professionals. The way some black women you meet in some offices here in the West behave themselves towards black men is sickening sometimes. |
http: And you think you make sense with this post? What is advance abour your western culture, i guess you are one of the puppet of FOX news, CNN, BBC,ABC, MSNBC and those propaganda tools for brainwash blacks.... Why do you bother replying a thoroughly brainwashed person like that. The westerners know that the best way to conquer and subjugate any people is to emasculate their men and put women in charge. That's what happened to blacks during slavery. It still blights AAs and Caribbeans today. Boys growing up without good male role models. So it goes on like that from generation to generation. They throw the crumbs from table at black women in terms of opportunities and black women start feeling they are better than black men. |
anonymous6: What a joke, isn't it African women the ones preserving the african cultures, who trains the children when the first enter the world? mother, who is the first person who lets them know & trains them who they are culturally? the mother. Women used to be. But many of our young women theses days loath everything African. They claim it's primitive and oppressive. Instead of looking within and looking at ways to improve, we want to do copy and paste. In India and China, many families now use Ultrasound to check sex and many terminate if it's a girl. Many abandon baby girls in China. It doesn't happen in Nigeria. Not saying we should copy the worst. Years back, I thought there was no need for male kids. But now, I see that my married sisters are not really that willing to share responsibilities that tradition dictates. Things like attending funerals and sundry. I have to push them from my base in diaspora. They don't even know how we relate to many people even though dad was laways telling us growing up. They are now a part of another family. Simples. |
I can see women are all looking at it from one perspective. How many of you married African women bear your father's name? My dad was a single son. All his sisters took their husband's name. I am also a single son and my married sisters have also taken their husband's names. With time, only I and my male child/ren will bear our family name. If not for my dad, the hereditary titles in my family for centuries would have gone extinct. As far as most women are concerned, anything not western is not worth preserving. Many British earls and ducal families are now extinct for lack of male heirs. Of course women do not bear the burden of family heritage, so they can marry and go away and not give a danm about their birth family. |
Spy360: I have lived in sudan for about 3yrs. Life in sudan is as hard as tortise shell bt one thing i won't forget is their ladies. They hv big boobs and booty.

[quote author=E.nosa]I love nigeria cause i believe my creator has a reason for making me a NIGERIAN. Proudly 9ja; NO Condition is permanent, we shall get there cause only change is constant.[/quote]. God didn't. Lugard's LovePeddler did. For all she cared you could have become a Benuerian. If she had smoked more gbana than she did on that day, you could have become Olumorian (after Olumo rock) . |
afam4eva: I'm indiferent about Nigeria. I've not benefited anything from the country. Ps nobody should quote JF Kennedy bnecause that his speech does not apply to Nigeria. It only applies to countries where things work.. Most people are actually like you. If things improve, fine. If not, who cares. It is a very sad state of affairs because it prevents highly talented people from serving Naija to the best of their abilities. "What difference will my efforts make anyway?" kind of thing. |
zumarock8: chiarman relax u too talk plenty, simple question demand simple answerSimpleton. How honest or those simple answers? |
The question is not as simple as people think it is. He asked about love Not LOVE-HATE for Nigeria. Fact is that all these people proclaiming to love Nigeria are doing so out of sentiment. They don't really know what it means to love a country. How many are ready to die for her instinctively right now? You see, just because you love your village yam festival, amala, agidi, egusi or oha soup, Idika ikon, and warm weather doesn't mean you love Nigeria. The fact is Nigerians are tribalists by instinct. Not surprising because when it really matters, you can only really rely on your family and kinsmen/women. The state doen't know that you exist. The truth is bitter. Just because you have a few friends from other tribes doesn't exempt you. If people love Nigeria as they claim, why do we have so many looters? Are politicians, civil servants, policemen not just people like us who proclaim their love for Nigeria and yet run the country aground? Until we renegotiate Nigeria and sort out how we want to live together (if we must) so that everyone can have freedom and space to flourish at their own pace, so that we can all feel comfortable in our own skin, people will continue to proclaim love for Nigeria but continue to do the opposite. |
Good thread |
edwill: A 2plots of land with an uncompleted 3 bedroom flat constructed to lintel level on a storey building foundation in a location suitable for school,residential, etc, in ogijo for sale. What's the price? |
afam4eva: Ha ha ha...they should better look elsewhere if they don't want to destroy their country. I don't know why some countries still believe in the capability of Nigeria. Don't they read the news.. My aunt used to be a police supritendent in the 1980s and worked in training & recruitment and later CID. One of the neatest women I have ever seen. I shudder when I see dirty police uniform now. Anyway, Naija police training was actually top notch, at least in those days. With good leadership and decent pay (around 170k monthly)to start with zero tolerance for corruption, NPF will improve dramatically. You will see graduates signing up. If pay is decent, at least the God-fearing ones will be afraid to lose their job because of 10 Naira bribe. |
