Nice...
The meeting wasn't so important for the saudis cos they didn't have any single person in the meeting but the king.
The saudis didnt even put nigerian flag in the palace as they normarlly do when presidents visit.

[b]"Buynaijatogrownaira" is only for the poor masses.
-Buhari and entourage are globe trotting. We all know his provate jet isn't maintained and refuelle in naira.
-zahra buhari and her sibling are schooling in uk. We all know that isn't paid for with naira.
- toyin saraki is frolicking with american celebrities, we all know that isn't paid in nair?

The list goes on and on,
But if the masses want a little bit of forex to carry out important activites, we are hit with "buynaijatogrownaira".

The demand of forex by 98percent of the masses does not have the kind of retrogressive economic impact the demand by 2 percent of the political and rich class has.

This government is a scam.
I regret voting for them and I pray God forgives me.
I keep hoping they come upnwith a policy direction, or atleast convict some corrupt persons that have been in court since forever, or feed childrn in schools, or create jobs but unfortunately, they haven't lived upnto their core promises.

Buynaijatogrownaira yee poor people.

THINGS like this tear me up.
Nnamdi kalu might be right on nigeria being a zoo

omg!!

i know this particular spot in enugu state.
I lost my childhood friend in 2014 in this same manner and on the same part of the road
http://allafrica.com/stories/201412080039.html

The road is really sloppy and there are stores at the end of the road.
Even though the stores are not on the road, the way the road was constructed, makes it very easy for trucks to loose control.

So many lives have been lost on this particular road including that of my childhood friend.
Enugu state government is yet to do anything about it!!!!

Selling pounds 495

loool... only an extremely desperate person would come to you.

This is sad.
I can only imagine what the parents are going through.
After 4 years in a Nigerian school, you decide to serve your country only to me murdered by the people hired to protect you.
Nigerian armed forces are poorly trained.
I wonder why no government official or person is pushing for armed forces reform.
Its long over due!!..

some years ago My colleague's son was murder by the Nigerian police as soon as he came back from the United kingdom.
He was just picked from the airport and was in the car when the stray bullet fired by the police officer hit him in the chest.



Almost every month,we see cases of violent human rights abuse meted out by the armed forces on civilians.
Yet, people keep praising them everytime they publish their propaganga videos on the internet.
Yet, Nigerians worship them and still refer to them as "gallant"...

THERE IS NOTHING GALLANT OR NOBLE ABOUT OUR ARMED FORCES.
JUST A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WITH LOW SELF ESTEEM WHO JOINED THE ARMED FORCES IN ORDER TO ESCAPE POVERTY.

This news made me smile...looool!!!!

slyIsaac:
Soo proud of tis guy right now.. if Say he Dey close I for give am one bottle!!.....

Lalasticlala come see something!

nobody deserves to be played like that.
especially if they are good to you.
you can cheat on a low key but absconding like that is just pathetic!

obailala:
I was only explaining using simple terms; the handkerchief example was only for illustrative purposes and I wasnt expecting such an immature response especially on a sunday morning.

no vex...
i was already fuming at the loss of my 1,700 Naira.
Abi u no see my account balance??
Abeg no even make me vex more loool!!

olamonsor2:
Bro, sometimes in January I paid to Alabama university, ($60) uba deducted 17,625. I burst into tears.. To be sincere, I have loose hope in this government .

i am sorry maine.
it is the situation we have found ourselves.
Yet, buhari will fly around the world and buy bmw worth billions of dollars!

obailala:
Who dey deplete our reserves?... it is you and I who prefer to buy 'made in UK' handkerchief with $5 instead of the one made in Aba for N50.

The nation is presently suffering from what is termed a 'negative balance of trade'. Before now, let's assume the total amount of forex leaving Nigeria per month was $10billion (this amount includes money spent importing fuel, food, clothes, foreign school and medical fees, you $5 handkerchief etc), this forex outflow of $10bn is balanced by a forex inflow of $10bn or more mainly from oil sales. Today the proceeds from oil sales has fallen by 70%, but our taste for foreign goods has obviously not changed. So today we are getting inflow of only $3bn but still spending $10. This is the negative balance of trade which is reducing the reserves. To solve this crisis and prevent reserves from reaching zero, cbn has totally stopped releasing forex to banks and BDCs to help people like yourself who want to buy a mere handkerchief; except you can prove that you want to purchase an essential commodity like import fuel or rice etc, the cbn will not release its scarce forex to you. So the forex which your bank sold to you for N350 was not gotten from cbn, it was from the blackmarket.

you are high and stupid at the same time.
First of all, the 5 dollar payment i made was in order to recharge an app on my phone called boss revolution. If there was a cheaper alternative from Nigeria, i would gladly be using it.

Besides, while other countries are investing heavily in their education and health sector, we are trying to thwart the dreams of those schooling abroad and asking them to school in Nigeria while 99.9999% of the children of the political elites are schooling abroad.
For crying out loud, some of the biggest successes from Nigeria were all trained abroad.

I would recommend that the government creates attractive incentives to bring back our best brains schooling and working outside the country.

Ximonak:
is this not legalised CORRUPTION

this is pure greed.
This dollar thing will make some overnight billionaires in nigeria.
anyway, its not my fault i am a citizen of one of the most wickedly corrupt country on earth!

tolugar:
Op according to your closing balance,


YOU ARE BROKE

Wonders shall never end!!...

Mckennedy:
It's changi !

this changi no follow at all at all....

chaiiiii... so is this how i went from thousandnaire to hundrednaire on my zenith account!!

obailala:
CBN doesnt sell dollars to banks anymore, zenith got your dollars from the blackmarket.

besides, i heard cbn stopped selling to bdc's.
so, if they don't sell to bdc's and banks, biko who dey deplete our reserves??

i know its not me and my 5 dollar transaction sha.

obailala:
CBN doesnt sell dollars to banks anymore, zenith got your dollars from the blackmarket.

Really??
so, the cbn sell to the black market in order for the banks to buy from the black market!!...
tell me somechin!!

BADNEAT:
Terrible

as in eh, the thing just weak me!!
No be me spoil naija naah... haba!

I only have 2,000 naira on my zenith bank account and i made a 5 dollar transaction only to be charged 1700 naira.
This implies that zenith bank sold each dollar at the rate of 350 NAIRA.
Yet, the central bank sells dollar to these banks at the rate of 190-199.

This is crazy and greedy!!!!

adipemcanis1:
To be honest...it isn't PMB or PYO's fault.

Because of falling oil prices....we do not have the dollars to back up the naira.Hence the fall in the value of the naira.

What this govt is doing right now...is getting as much dollars as possible (Hence the war on corruption, and the banning of importation of certain items).

And yes...GEJ should have saved dollars. But if he had....we would still be in the same situation...only this time it would be next year.

The era of cheap money is over. You and your fellow naira and dollar eaters better get to work.

Hmmm... you made no sense my dear.
How can the government claim to be serious about shoring up our naira value when estacode is paid in dollars, the bmw cars which will be purchased from u.s or germany worth billions of dollars will also be paid in dollars??
The presidential fleet is quite large. Numbering about 10. Do you think the foreign company maintaining it will be paid in naira?
All the u necessary and unnecessary trips buhari is taking, do u think expenses are made in naira

The political class are the ones putting the most pressure on the naira.
Education and medicare should be a sacred investment but I am hearing the cbn is also planning to stop the sale of forex to nigerians schooling abroad or going abroad for treatment.

Is that right?? Instead proving incentives to stop brain drain, we are making things harder for them.

Please, dont be an apc zombie.
I dont think u supported apc like I did during elections.
If you see something wrong, please condemn it.

MrsPhyno:
You do realize...... the death rate in every family is high right

The odds that everyone on NL will die is 100%

Maybe you meant early or untimely deaths?

Everyone will die for sure but the time and manner matters.
Say u wanna marry a guy and u notice that most women or men from his part of the f amily die early.
Matter of fact, all the married men or women from his side are widowers or widows... none has seen the age of 70.
Haba naah

judey1992:
Firstly i would make inquiries about the nature of the death. if its accidental like the family engaged in a ghastly motor accident. no p i would go ahead but if they all died in a mysterious way. Omo na the speed of light i go use, marriage is a lifetime affair nd believe me its a horrible experience if one is a single parent at those initial times.

well, in this situation, its actually "natural" circumstances!

they just die prematurely.... not accident... they just diee.... crazy right??
