you can cheat on a low key but absconding like that is just pathetic!

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??

bewla:
yes that if she is above 35

Nice one...

Hey guys and girls.

Lets assume you are finally dating the girl/guy of your dreams but on getting to know the person's family, you realized there are so many dead people from his family side.
His father is dead, many of his uncles are dead... and most of their extended family members have atleast 1 or two dead person.
Will you still go ahead with the relationship and possibly marry the person??

Drop your honest thoughts!

bukatyne:
And when your wife also does family first so you both become flatmates instead of truly married, don't complain.

One wonders if the wives fell from the sky without a family.

If you cannot leave your family and cleave to your wife, no need for marriage.

I am saying a man should mke sure his family is alright before he even gets married.
Once you are married, 99 percent of your attention and all belongs to your wife and children.
Your siblings and mother and father become a bit distant.
you still care for them but your wife and children becomes priority.

munas:
Thats the worst advice i have ever heard...

Wait till you help everybody to stand firm before you start your own family?
Thats a huge joke.

So the guy you know who got married should have made sure his mother is living in luxury apartment and help get his brother to get a job before he gets married abi?

There an adage that says "marry your mother before you marry your wife".
That simply means you should take utmost care of your mother first before you move on to start your own family.

Yes, if my brother was unemployed and i happen to be a multi-millionaire, it would be a shame on me and my family if my brother is not doing well in his own business or unemployed. it will be a shame on me if the woman that gave birht to me lives in a ghetto while i live in v.g.c.

Family first!!... that is my first, second and third rule....

Zellie:
so its their wives that's causing these problems, how do you people even think

read the post again.
i didn't even insinuate that the wives are the problem.
its common sense knowledge that when a man gets married, his bond with his siblings/first family reduces.

Well, that was a kind gesture. Most Nigerian policemen are animals and I still despise them but this singular act made me feel like maybe, just maybe, there might be some good ones.

matrixme:
You are only just looking for a way to defend your selfishness. People can be bad, either rich or poor, black or yellow, Anglican or protestant.
For you to say that it's only poor people that are disposed to doing evil is bias, unjust and unfounded.

selfishness
i am a very selfless person.
I am generous to a fault but i only help from a distance. I don't wanna be friends or enemy with a poor person cos the only thing they bring is problems. One problem after the other.
They will never call u on phone to offer you what you need.. all they thy know is themselves...

this woman learnt the hard way..... lol!

Caseless:
As much as I find so many things wrong with the budget, I still can't see the Senate toying with it. We have saraki's head on our plate at the CCT; he won't even dare.

hahahahah... you are really naive.
do u think saraki will spend even a day in jail

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

There are so many "untouchables" in Nigeria and saraki is one of them.
forget all these gimmicks.
For you to hold such a revered position in Nigeria, do you know what it takes??
Loool... i wish things weren't so but we gotta tell ourselves the truth/

rbjimoh:
thank OP, you can see over glorification of america even by the median. Inferiority complex

well, its not the glorification of america.
Excluding the fact that the victim just returned to the country From the united states would make the story incomplete.
After all, she was picked from the airport and murdered in the car.
Readers will be curious to know where she is coming from? why was she picked up by those boys? why did she have dollars with her and so on.
If u exclude the fact that she came from united states, then the story will not really make any sense.

this is one of the reason i despise poor people.
They are very callous and will drag you down.
the only reason they smile and act nice is cos of their poverty stricken status.
Of course, there are good ones, but the bad ones plenty pass.
I have had plenty experience...

I used to have this poverty stricken friend of mine that i would help alot.
Well, he ended up stealing 3.5Million naira from my relatively young company. Its alot of money and it made me really angry but I let it go. Now he is begging for forgiveness cos he is back to square zero.
I trusted this guy and i believed he wouldn't be so greedy to bite the hand God is using to bless him.

All these poor people are just looking for who to job.

Like nigga raw said, if u no get money, u go be problem to those wey get....
maine, i have vowed never to mess with anyone below my social status... If you wanna help them, help from a fucccking distance...

This is sad and painful.

rest in peace ma!!... its a shame u had to learn this way.
chaaai... this thing is really paining me!!
