Olukologia:
Any means of its contribution to de economy?
Perhaps a baker got hired, who in turn purchased flour and other items from the local market.
Perhaps drinks were bought from the local sellers.

These added to the business bottom-line of the traders, increasing their business and personal spending power.

Therefore, a monetary contribution to the local economy, and larger economy by extension. cool

PhonesRe: Why Does Screen And Phone Idle Consume So Much Battery Juice? by NaLaugh:
Your screen's backlight is the main culprit. Not really the display itself.
Having your screen brightness turned all the way down will save a lot of juice.

Also, if you have 'haptic feedback' turned on, disable it. It's not essential and drains your battery.
Haptic feedback is any vibration, sound etc the screen makes when you tap or type on it.

Idle processes are usually things running in the background. Like app auto-updates etc.
It also includes apps just being open in the background. They sit there, periodically checking for updates etc.

Open your task manager and 'close all' apps to take care of that.

BusinessRe: Naira To Appreciate As CBN Issues Licence To New Intn.l Money Transfer Operators by NaLaugh:
This will have almost no positive effect on the naira.

As a matter of fact, it could make it worse for people in Nigeria.
Mainly because with the new system, money transfer companies are now in the direct price war of a "floating" currency.

e.g Sending Western Union to Nigeria was always 1-5 naira below the official rate, but now it is about 20-40 naira above "official."
This is in response to stiff competition from Ria Money transfer, Transfast and a few others that recently began sending at nearly parallel market rates.

So, more choices = more competition = higher rates on the dollar.

This works perfectly for me. However, I don't see how it would benefit someone in Nigeria or the plight of the Naira.

TravelRe: Are Nigerians In Diaspora Nigeria's Last Hope? by NaLaugh: 8:37pm On Aug 21, 2016

I agree with most of your post, because a leader is as good/bad as the citizens.

However,i disagree with you that only Nigerians in Nigeria can turn Nigeria.We at home have been psychologically battered by our leaders with poverty,hunger,unemployment to the extend that we have developed Stockholm syndrome(because we can defend these leaders with our DNA.Hence Nigerians(those of us at home )may need to be saved from ourselves.

Secondly,citizens consciously or unconsciously look up to their leaders, If Nigeria can have group of leaders who are 'clean' and have the will to fight corruption,things may start to look up.What do you think?
Only you can save you from yourself. No matter what a third party does by way of intervention will fall flat, if YOU are not willing to change.
It's like being an alcoholic or a crack head. Rehab is a waste of time and resources if the addict lacks a personal will to kick the addiction.

So, I reiterate, only Nigerians in Nigeria can save themselves from themselves. Anything other than that is a delusional wait for an elusive messiah.

Yes, the political Stockholm syndrome in Nigeria is baffling. However, as I alluded to, it's a vicious cycle.
Corrupt average Nigerians one day become corrupt leaders - it's just a matter of time.

The only way to break this cycle is if the average Nigerian quits being a shyster. This way, when he becomes a leader, his positive values prevail.

As far as I know, the current Nigerian president (at least in the public eye) is attempting an aggressive anti-corruption stance.
Somehow I thought Nigerians who perpetually complain about corruption would see it as an opportunity to finally defeat it.

Oddly, that's not the case. Weird huh?
TravelRe: 10 Of The Most Dangerous Cities Never To Travel To by NaLaugh:
Travel the world. Lists of this nature are to be ignored.

Except a nation is at war, or on the brink, go see for yourself. You only live once.

Also, whoever compiled this list (the actual author) is just being ridiculous. There's a difference between "be careful," and "don't go."

Rio and Capetown for instance are major tourist destinations. Having it on a "don't go" list borders on ignorance.

I can almost guarantee Chicago has a higher murder rate than any of these cities.
TravelRe: Are Nigerians In Diaspora Nigeria's Last Hope? by NaLaugh: 11:42am On Aug 21, 2016
Go to Nigeria to run for office?

Short answer: NO.

Long answer: Hell NO!

Longer answer: Only Nigerians in Nigeria can turn Nigeria around. Ethical decay has become part of the average Nigerian's DNA.
Average Nigerians complain about corrupt leaders, but display the same attributes in their daily lives.

Average citizens one day become corrupt leaders. The difference in status is time.

Until Nigerians realize that a "fantastically" corrupt society is only a product of individual corruption at the base level, nothing will change.

CareerRe: SURVEY REQUEST :would The Ambience Of The Company Matter ? by NaLaugh: 6:51am On Aug 21, 2016
Yes.

Chaos of environment = chaos of mind. The more open and minimalist your work space is, the easier it is to focus and be productive.

A tightly packed office with cubicles, desks, table fans from the 1980s (complete with 80s era dust still on them) only cause mental fatigue.
