1. He always brags about you. If you get a promotion at work or even just win concert tickets he can’t resist telling everyone you hang out with before you even think to mention it. Because he’s your biggest fan (arguably next to your mom).

2. He makes sacrifices for you — and you’re happy to do the same for him. He’ll move cities to live with you if you get a new job or finish grad school. You’re happy to make the next move for one of his opportunities.

3. He shares the same values as you. You know you both want kids and expect to split the childcare equally. Or maybe you know you both want kids and he wants to take extended paternity leave. Maybe you’ve also agreed that you should each get 45 minutes to yourself to go to the gym every day or you plan to buy a home and move to the suburbs in five years. You know you’re on the same page with things that matter most to you because you’ve discussed them.

Breakups are usually nasty; some relationships get broken amidst tears and pains. The affected people in some of these bad breakups hold grudges against each other for a long time.
Some people are vengeful; they would always do things that would make their exes mad despite having gone separate ways. They enjoy the fact that they still have certain powers and authorities over them even though they are miles apart.
Depending on the level of maturity of the individuals that have separated, things may not be as bad as people think they would be if they handle things well. Some individuals believe they have the right to say whatever they want since they are no longer within the confines of a relationship.

They take to their social media pages and update their thoughts there as a way of reaching out to their exes. They know that their status updates would always be checked by the overzealous partners who enjoy stalking them.

No fewer than 130 million people depend on humanitarian aid to survive, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon revealed in his message for the 2016 World Humanitarian Day campaign.

The day is commemorated on August 19 and the theme for this year’s campaign is ‘World You’d Rather’.

He said, “A record 130 million people are dependent on humanitarian assistance to survive. Grouped together, these people in need would comprise the tenth most populous nation on earth.

“These figures are truly staggering, yet they tell only a fraction of the story. Hidden behind the statistics are individuals, families and communities whose lives have been devastated.

“People no different to you and me: children, women and men who face impossible choices every day.”

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday appealed to political leaders in Guinea Bissau to embrace unity and avoid any act that could plunge the nation into further crisis.

According to a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, the President spoke while receiving the Special Representative of the United Nations’ Secretary-General on Guinea Bissau, Mr. Modibo Toure, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

TARGET PRICE RANGE: N380 : $1 AND N480 : £1 AND N390 : €1
July saw the Naira depreciate heavily against our forecast of an appreciation in value, as CBN decided to sit back and test how long the naira could stretch. Occasionally, CBN injected some funds to save the Naira from an embarrassing rate of N350 to $1 but this had little impact on the depth of the crash. CBN had earlier given the market the impression that the required liquidity would be provided to the market whenever it was needed.

In August, AbokiFX research team has put together, factors they believe would impact the naira positively, helping it appreciate in the parallel market against the 3 major currencies:

1. CRUDE OIL PRICE AND VOLUME: The price of Brent Crude oil has lowered to an average of $45 per barrel this month and seems it will maintain this price range for the rest of August. This is above the $38 per barrel benchmark budget hence, should cover the loss in volume from disruptions in the Niger Delta region. This should help maintain a decent revenue for August and encourage CBN to increase its intervention fund. If this happens, abokiFX believes the FX market will witness improved liquidity in dollars which should help the naira appreciate.

2. INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY MARKET:
International major currencies like the GB pound (GBP), US dollar (USD) and Euro (EUR) have weakened heavily, especially the pound. This has helped naira maintain stability in the international market. This means the naira is trading better than expected against these currencies which helps improve how much revenue CBN receives from crude oil sales. AbokiFX believes this should take the pressure off the naira in August and improvements should be seen in the parallel market as naira appreciates.

3. BDC ALLOCATION: CBN has requested banks to supply all BDCs $30,000 on a weekly basis. AbokiFX believes this should massively boost the supply of dollars in the parallel market. Dealers have for a while had to source their own dollars off the parallel market. This will continue with an additional $30,000 weekly. Still not enough to meet the market demand, the fact that additional $30,000 will be turned over weekly, will encourage rate competition in the market, forcing the rates down which should help the naira appreciate.

4. SUMMER HOLIDAY AND OLYMPIC DEMAND WANES: As the summer holiday gradually draws to an end. Less demand for FX is expected here. Same goes for any demand for dollars for the Rio Olympics. AbokiFX expects naira to appreciate as returnees from holidays generate FX inflow to stimulate the market. This will create additional supply which should help the naira appreciate.
