Good question, the judiciary, they should be taken to Federal Courts for prosecution.

Parachoko:
State Governors owing serving and retired civil servants should use it to clear pensions, salaries and wages in their respective states

Bigkoko:
Now i know why we have the least intelliginet people in two regions, save those who found themselves in cities with educated persons..... If these people dont know what to say, they should at least shut the Bleep up!

How do you stablize the Naira by borrowing in dollars!

If the Russian war in Ukraine didnt teach these slowpoke lessons, they should have realized that the only thing that makes your currency stabilize even if all the whole world is fighting you, is if you manage to make your currency sought after. Which Putin somehow pulled off by making the west pay for Russian gas in Rouble! Instantly the Rouble rised against the Euro, Pound, Dollars. But these mumu go go borrow in dollars and expect the naira to rise!

This is the mafia way Emefiele stabilized the naira, he made sure foreign company dont get dollars in Nigeria, making them adjust to keeping their income in Nigeria.... Simple economics which these Oluwole leaders no understand

Sometimes, when you choose to always criticise government policies and moves blindly, all in the name of opposition...you end up appearing empty!


The economy is on the brink of collapse...fuel subsidy is removed and there is pressure on price of PMS due to rising cost of crude.

There is scarcity of FX for PMS importers, because CBN cannot meet their FX demands..

This is forcing these players to source for FX at black market and the resultant effects is more pressure on Naira that has already been devalued..the gap between official and black market rates keeps widening...and the prices of goods and services are skyrocketing.


So, what exactly is bad in NNPC sourcing for their own FX and possibly that of PMS importers from international partners like Afrixim bank
This move, yes temporary, will ease off pressure on the demand for scare FX since the PMS importers are the major consumers of FX.

Hopefully, this temporal measure will give ample time for atleast PHC refineries to start working.

So, nothing wrong in technically buying time to resolve some issues like fixing of refineries.

This move will also strengthen the Naira and the fear of increasing the PMS pump price.

Zupay:
Borrow dollar to stabilize naira and use the dollar pay for import, after it has been depleted. loan has to be repaid. Makes no economic sense.

There is a secret dossier with the fBI. This dossier is rich with criminal indictments against the commander in chief..


The USA will use it to blackmail and teleguide the president.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Waste of resources

SIRTee15:
Now this is a real and valid case compared to that nonsense indictment in Georgia.
Trump actually called the governor or the electoral officer in Georgia asking him to influence the 2020 presidential election in his favour. This was recorded on the phone and a strong piece of evidence.

If Trump no go jail, them his JuJu must be strong.

mariovito:
Match never start we don score own goal.

Reminds of when Iran was posturing to duel with uncle Sam and they shot down their own plane.

However they were smart enough to call it quits.

R.i.p. to the fallen service men.

One sad reality about war is that young men get slaughtered on the alter of ego of old politicians.

impeccablephili:
You need to listen and learn from people that know more than you. The Goodluck Jonathan administration made a great mistake by removing history from our school curriculum. There was a fight to death in history of Yoruba during the pre-colonisation era, Just like the movie Jagunjagun. The then Alaafin Oyo(Sango that they call god of thunder) envied one of the warriors (Gbonka) . And asked him to fight till death with a powerful war general, Timi Agbale( that used bow and arrow ) thinking Timi will defeat Gbonka easily. But Gbonka defeated and beheaded Timi who happened to be his friend. That made Gbonka challenged the then Alaafin to duel (fight to death) . look for history textbooks read about the history of various African tribes. You will see that Woman king movie was a misinformation. That is why I always laugh when I see some children calling Yoruba tribe cowards on nairaland.

AdoOloro:
Bùròdá, go and make your own movie and let's see!!

jeff1607:
It is not every war the gods are consulted especially when it has been foretold and people or the king is against it or when they are invaded

HydraFeeds:
you’re wrong again ,the Yorubas used to have arena to fight ,where do you think the name ękę comes from ?

Acidosis:
They tried to copy Woman King ke?

Woman King is a horrible movie (though this might not be the case for those unfamiliar with the actual history of Dahomey). Besides, the movie reeks of lame scenes. There is nothing to compare.

jeff1607:
The stubborn warrior chiefs then do so, hence the reason some of them were banished

sunboy:
Again, you are picking one phrase out of many sentences, very funny.

Gidigbo is a sport, a war skill, and also entertainment. So is Judo, Karate, and jui jistu.

When you have time, here is a free read for you about Gidigbo, the Yoruba martial art.

This article speaks to its entertaining, cultural, and even its arena display, and its war usage.

https://www.blacfoundation.org/pdf/GIDIGBO.pdf

Black man, know your history ✌🏾

sunboy:
Okay, I called out many of your wrong assumptions up there.

For the gidigbo, yes it is for pleasure. And in special times like they portrayed in that movies, warriors could be ask to fight to death and the winner gets a reward. Also, in war times… digigbo is a war skill.. just like Judo and jui jistu are war skills they are also games.

Karate is a war skill and also a game. Being a competition don’t mean it’s exclusively competitive.

In the movie, they even portrayed the use of jazz to support his skills. The warriors had stuff tied to their arms to give them extra strength.

Lets me mash up our own story.

sunboy:
While I respect your opinion but you’re wrong, know your history sir!

Yes Yoruba use ida oloju meji (sword) and knife since before the white man.

Going to the war and consulting gods is a must, but that movie hasn’t portrayed otherwise to that fact. Not showing the part doesn’t mean they portrayed it never happened nor happened.

Yoruba does have arena like Spartacus for warriors, even slaves if the king to compete during a ceremony… it’s called idije kidigbo

“The woman king” actually changed the actual story and the real narrative. I have personally been to that kings palace for tourism and other kings, visit Abomey sometime, there are about 16 kings palaces scattered around the city, you will get the authentic story from the tour guides or the locals. (You don’t glorify an oyinbo movie that changed our story and bring down our very own that portrayed it right!)

What we do not have are Dane guns… and that movie also portrayed in it that it was gifts from the white man. It clearly portrayed it in that movie.

Again, I respect your opinion but we must speak up for when our history is mashed up. That jagun jagun is very authentic. Well thought through movie.

gidiMonsta:
You’re the one confusing myths with history. Most Yoruba battles were fought with Swords and guns, charms were used to supplement and enhance them. I suspect you’re confusing those old Abija movies for history.

ComputerOperato:
I agree with you but @MT shouldn't have made a categorical statement like that by saying Yoruba's don't fight with swords. That statement is too categorical and so wrong at the same time, hence the huge criticism he has received so far.
I believed he has learnt something from this.

Jozilinn:
10 over 10 anikulapo dey learn work from am,the ending was unpredictable watch it

hakeemhakeem:
Where you at some point be at Yoruba war before to know that it's only incantation the Yoruba used, you are been stereotype about the previous movie

Omoawoke:
How did oyo empire become so strong

If you watch woman king, there were horses and sword fights too.

Ofa (bow and arrow) was used in Yoruba battles too. Have you seen Yoruba ancient statues and drawings. They depicted sword fights and use of arrows and guns.
I think you really underestimated the history.
And don’t be too swayed by the sword fights in Roman movies, those slow motions and battles are part of efisy to make it sweet too.
One man fighting like 50 soldiers and slicing them or dodging arrows . Lol

jeff1607:
To think some people believe Yorubas never used swords and the likes don't know their history at all.

dragunov:
See, let me enlighten you the more. The Yoruba that most of you chestbeaters and tongue wagglers ignorantly call cowards today was a tribe with a martial culture and the only group of people in today's Nigeria that fought different wars that spanned a century. They fought with calvary and foot soldiers. The armies were organized with different cadre of leadership and they had a unified general in a person called the Aare onakakanfo. They fought with swords(Ida), spear/javelin (ọkọ), clubs(Kumo), bows and arrows (ofa). Later they fought with guns(ibọn) and also bought cannons from the British. They had Hausa slaves in their ranks and in the farms. The movie does not misrepresent Yorubas. Jealous monkeys everywhere!

obembet:
UK hardly deny visa as long as ur documentation is correct and no fake or false information there.

I stand to be corrected Sha
