Are you for real?? Pls explain how someone earning in dollars will feel the effect of inflation when based in nigeria.

Note - He is based in nigeria and not abroad where he will have to spend in dollars.

Money is measured in value, and not in currency. You will still change your dollars to naira, and you will stilll access Nigerian market to buy products and services which are inflated. Relatively, the person earning in dollars has cushion than the person earning in naira but both are affected by inflation. The value of their money is somewhat eroded

Ademola47:
Good time to earn in dollars remotely....

Imagine earning (even if it's just) $1000... it'll make sense when converted...about 590k

The effect will be on people changing Naira to Dollar

Inflation affects everyone, either you earn in Naira or dollar

hibeebeeking:
For who and for what purpose. This ain't a good news. It just for the rich.

And you don't aspire to be among the rich someday?

Nigeria as a country should be tired of individuals breaking records and then going into an oblivion. We need to transition this academic feat into something practical, innovations that the citizens can feel, and the country at large. I am not taking anything away from this beautiful lady but our country needs genuine problem solvers, especially as we have myriad of challenges confronting the nation right now.

Just like money having no worth when not spent, first class becomes meaningless if not put into use to solve societal problems.

naijadrivablog:
Yes. Do not forget the congregation of brethren.

Congregation in this instance can be just two people according to the bible.

I think we should define what a church is. It is not the building but rather the people. And the bible says - where two or three people are gathered in my name, so I will be in their midst.

Enough said

Don't be afraid of what you know, in this instance the hypersonic missile. I can tell you the US military engineers are working to build interceptors for it. All destructive military weapons started this way and eventually interceptors were built.

However, be afraid of military capabilities that you don't know, you haven't seen, which existence had not dropped into your mind. This is the key and I can tell you these countries have the "unknown" in their arsenal. Any country that has the greater "unknowns" win the war. Fear the US, their military budgets can create many undisclosed military "unknowns".

Totilopussylick:
“The government said there is no money but they have money for elections. Between education and election, which one is much more important? They constructed a railway from Kaduna to Niger Republic, is that more important than education?


Education is dead and buried in Nigeria .

Everything in Nigeria needs to be revamped, including education. Most of the lecturers we have are not fit for purpose.

Let ASUU gets the money meant to improve infrastructures in the school, you will see how they will squander it on personal frivolities.

We need infrastructure as much as we need education in Nigeria.

MadamVanessa:



This war has really exposed Putin and Russia seriously. Prior before the war , the world respected Russia for nothing, because almost all the world think that Russia Military might is a top notch, only for small Ukraine to exposed this overrated country. As weak as Ukraine is, they still withstand this useless overrated country and give them a bloody nose.

Putin is finished. Even the Russians condemned Putin for invading Ukraine, China, their close ally now backup Ukraine after discovering that Russia they respected so much are weaklings that can be tossed and used any how like 10 and 11 spanner.


They only people you'll see supporting Putin's madness are those poverty stricken bastards here on nairaland that can't even afford three square meal a day like the one above me.

They are also individuals rejected at the US embassy

nthony10:
How many has Ukraine lost

No one cares about the number of Generals killed by the Russian. This is a classic case of David versus Goliath. If Goliath kills David, no big deal but if David kills Goliath, it will generate a whole lot of noise.

This war badly exposes the Russia military. US and NATO over estimated their capabilities but they have been exposed as inefficient and somewhat ragtag. Losing military hardware at will , and even begging for assistance from far away Asia. It is a disaster for Putin's Russia.

Maxymilliano:
The US can do better than this, action they say speaks louder than voice.

NATO is a defence alliance. The missile struck on Ukrainian soil but close to Poland. US and NATO cant respond otherwise their claim of NATO being a "defensive" alliance will be questioned.

If Putin wants war,, let him hit ANY target within the NATO border then you will see the full military power of the United States and NATO coming to full bare.

Righteousness2:
Forget Biden!!
Nomerica will do nothing!! Anything she tries to do will Fast Forward her Fall.

Nomerica is a shadow of itself!
Take this to the Bank! Mystery Babylon is Gone!
She is Weak and is only an Expert in Propagating so called Climate Change, Lgbt, abortion , Drag queen and Nonsense

I am sorry to ask but are you NEVER tired of all this 'Nomerica' bullshit? Just asking

Well, Putin wont even want to repay his debts as he will wants his creditor to feel the pain. However, the Russia credit rating will drop and this will mean very high interest rate for any money Russia wants to borrow in the future. Fiscal disaster!

TheGreatIYANU:
Lol... all brawn, no brain! When Russian forces where converging on Ukraine's borders, no single human on planet Earth ever thought that Putin will unleash those forces on Ukraine. No one believed even for a second that there'll be an invasion, but look where we are three weeks in.

It is the same person this oaf if telling US to attack.

I strongly believe that if a single NATO or US aircraft crosses (by mistake), just 1km into Russian territory, there will be a Nuke heading straight to Washington within minutes.

Wisdom is the Principal thing oga. Get Wisdom.

Stop talking about nuke like a toy. Even as mad as Putin is, he wont launch it. He knows Russia will become a wasteland when different NATO countries are raining nukes on Russia in different direction. This is a real war and not hollywood movie. Wake up and smell the coffee.

US dey fear to go to war with them Britain wey no dey top 15 dey Yan okoto meow

That Britain you undermined is a nuclear nation. US is the leader of the free world. Having a nuclear warhead is one thing, having a mean to deliver them is another. No nation in the world has a delivery system for nuclear warhead than the US. Russia understands this and Putin wont dare to attack any NATO nation.

US is not afraid to fight Russia but NATO is a defensive alliance. Let Putin attempts to attack any NATO nation then you will see the response. Russian army has been exposed as incompetent and ill trained.

Who asked greedy, power drunk Saraki ?

Osun 2022 Guber Election:

Presentation of Certificate of Return-

The National Working Committee (NWC) of our great party, the PDP has presented Certificate of Return to the winner of the party’s 2022 Osun Guber Election Primaries, Senator Ademola Adeleke.

The presentation took place at the NEC Hall of the party’s national secretariat, Wadata plaza, Abuja.

See live pictures here Below:

So this is the best PDP has to.offer? What happens to the case of impersonation against this man during WAEC?

ManirBK:
Good one how I wish the ban may cripple UK Government, I hate them a lot because their hypocrisy to Russia.

Do you know the evil that Russia had perpetrated on UK soil?

Shoodboi:
I hope you Ukranian and NATO fanboys and girls understand the meaning of this:

Russia intends to continue dealing with Ukraine until at least September 9 -- that's exactly 6 months away.

And i hope you understand there would have been massive inflation and unemployment in Russia. That period is long enough to create serious uprising against Putin which might lead to him being toppled.

kaymart:
Weaken their military to what extent?
Most of the Russian military personnel are youngsters in their early 20's. They lack real military combat experience. The real personnel weren't deployed.
Besides, they toiled long with Ukrainians, not wanting to hurt civilians hence giving the ukranian soldiers the respite to hide among civilians thus adopting the guerilla tactics.

I will be happy for you to point me at creditable source stating that the Russian pushed their inexperienced infantry to the warfront while keeping the experienced ones? Dont let us discuss base on conjectures.

And about civillians, do you know how many civillians that had been targeted and killed which were captured on video?

Russia is officially a pariah nation.

NOETHNICITY:
My post isn't a comparison about which is bigger between the US and Russia. My post is about the reason for the seemingly slow pace of Russian military advancement in ukraine. Russia has the military capability of carrying out carpet bombing of Ukraine. But it's holding back due to a host of reason.
Then again, you say Russia is average just because US has a much more bigger economy? Hummmmmm

Yes US economy completely dwarfs Russia economy. US military budget is way above Russia and China military budget combined. US has money to build devastating weapons. There are two things you should be looking at - known and unknown. You only talk about the "known" of the US military assets, what about the unknown.

Before you tell me that China and Russia too have unknowns, they don't have the money to build capabilities that will dwarf that of the US. Go and check out their military budget as indicated below. I repeat, US is a beast!

Russia is not holding back. Russia is using vacuum bomb and thermobaric in Ukraine. They are throwing everything at it, yet Ukraine is holding. It is becoming an international disgrace. Their military are being killed and maimed, including their hardware that are being destroyed at will.

War is not about how modern your weaponry are sometimes. The Ukrainians know their lands very well and they are using that against the Russians who are sitting ducks. Then with the weapons being supplied by the west, Russians planes and tanks are being destroyed easily. Imagine if Ukraine has control of its airspace, Russian military will die twice this rate.

Simran94:
That’s because of the Russia-Ukraine war

Same thing that this article is talking about. There will be biting inflation in Nigeria due to Russia-Ukraine war. The ripple effect of the war will be felt in every corner of the earth.

Simran94:
And yet we keep blaming people that are leaving the country, SMH.

There is inflation abroad right now. Pump price has soared and it has spread across the spectrum. If you dont have valid residence permit, it is tough now because even Government cannot even help you to alleviate some of the burden.

kaymart:
What if they purposely didn't want to go all out on Ukraine to device the west....

Why would they want to do that with the number of casualties they are suffering along with their military assets. These are difficult to replace and weaken their military

WarriAproko:
since NATO call dem weak. Iya make dem go finish them nah. Dem dey distance dey shout

Tell your Russia to be responsible. Tell him not to threaten nuclear weapon. Can he win a conventional war with NATO? No way in the world. He knows it, hence the irresponsible threat.

WarriAproko:
same lies. Dont tell this to d chinese man.

Im sorry, It means you are not well informed. Go and do your research and come up with opposing views with creditable references. Then we can further this discourse.

NOETHNICITY:
Bro forget What you typed here. You call world's 11th biggest economy average?? 11th for Godsake.
Second, in ur analogy you accuse Russia of using cutlass to fight a mate. What the fuuuuck
Go find out how the US bombed iraq and Libya and aghan. Infact war analyst have stressed the fact that Russia has actually been very very lenient for a host of reason. It doesn't want to employ US carpet bombing tactics that would have brought down ukraine within 3 days
When u pick up a fight with ur mate who hase cutlass, guns and probably a bomb. But he chose to fight you only with cutlass then that mate is being lenient

Russia military has been exposed as weak. They even resorted to the use of banned weapon in war, in frustration, which is being investigated as a war crime now.

Yes it's very average compared to the US.The whole of California alone has bigger economy than the whole of Russia. The whole of Texas has a bigger economy than the entire Canada. US is a beast and a genuine world power. They have the military asset, world powers as allies and financial war chest to prosecute any war and build frightening weaponry. US is stifling Russia with economic warfare because they have a lot of economic leverage on them. What has Russia got on the US, tell me? Even their oil has been banned. US, a nation built for war.....be Careful what you wish for.

kaymart:
Indeed, Russia is a powerful nation

It is an average country . Before the sanction, Russia economy was 11th in the world behimd South Korea. The nuclear arsenal it has is for deterrent. UK, France etc have nuclear weapons too as a deterrent

Putin's Russia is so irresponsible. You are fighting with your mate with fist, then suddenly you threaten with cutlass. That's a sign you are frustrated and losing the fight.

The US is happy with Russia losing military hardware and military men. It's reducing the strength of Russia military. US intelligence thought Russia military was so strong, Ukraine had exposed them as a joke.

You will see the uprising in Russia gathering fast pace soon.The Russians themselves will move against Putin when the pain hits certain threshold.

ken6488:
that's the true

Around 7000

Main while only 200 is enough to destroy Europe

Some people re hilarious. Not all the nuclear war heads can be successfully delivered. You need a mean to deliver them. And who says Russia will deliver up to 50 warheads before it is taken away from the map, with nukes flying from different direction.

And note,no country has the delivery systems more than the US. Most of their subs, and war planes carry nuclear war heads more than any nation on earth.
