Your period shouldn't be a reason for marriage to come up immediately, you should take responsibility for it.

Back to the case, I can observe your fiancé seems a responsible man. He feels obliged to cater for his family, that's cool.

You should know of our type of society, the socioeconomic issues and others.

Nevertheless, since you watching time on your own side, I suggest your talk to your fiancé, analyse the financial needs (if that is the problem) also emotional impediments, have a clear picture of things from your conversation with him (noting timeline of thing's from the discussion).

Then decide.

She should tell her husband to come up with survival plans for the vulnerable and the poor.

She is living high and don't understand what it means for the daily earners in a lockdown.

Is it conclusively determined or a "roadside" medical verdict?

They just want to give government chance not to pay them in case of a general stay at home

Struggling to accept authenticity of this narration.

Well said.

But Covid is a.k.a Wuhan virus.

By Trump, it's called the "Chinese Virus"

Lol, the guy is always blunt to fact, what is good for the goose is good for the gander

So Wuhan virus is given a befitting and sexy name - COVID-19. Same was with SARS.

But should it have been from Africa, we would have had it being called a name akin to the originating place just like Ebola (a river in Congo), Lassa fever (Lassa, a town in Borno). According to CDC website, the disease (Lassa) was named "after a town in Nigeria where it first occurred" (and nobody protested, am surprised though)

There is psychological consequence to naming a bad event with one's place, it negatively affects cultural worth. Albeit, this doesn't applies to Africa.

I hope they change this, I suggest (after this virus is over), Africans should protest this madness. Let them give Ebola another name, so also Lassa fever. Very cruel. I miss Mugabe.

If Congolese people are comfortable with such affront, that's them; we are Nigerians, we should reject such. I hope someone repost this and tag WHO on twitter. Either it's Wuhan Virus or no more Lassa fever or Ebola whatever, let's rise and defend our cultural heritage.

I hope this gets to front-page for greater discuss or probably after the pandemic is over.

Federal government always unclear! Why not simply say closure of all federal schools nationwide and private schools in the FCT. Let the states handle states schools and private schools in their jurisdiction. Let's be consistent with our laws, no need for federal taunting the state. This might impede the original purpose.

Are they even aware of the prevalent pandemic - coronavirus, where notable health organisations are advising against such gathering, educated ones are flouting such. I guess they don't know how deadly that virus is.

CliffDike:
The effort and proactive measures put in place by Lagos State Government in tackling the Covid-19 epidemic is commendable.

Nigeria truly has the potential for greatness!

I strongly believe.........Nigeria shall be great someday!

But first, let's commend Lagos State, they are doing so well

Buhari should be impeached. They are busy discussing hate speech bill while Buhari footsoldiers are busy killing with reckless abandon.

You so right, what are they saying about the killings, only hate speech that threatens Human Rights

All thanks to Chinese measures to have suppressed the information when it ought to have been transparent

Exile Ke! Am I in 1900, pls o, Nigeria no make me laugh

My question is how are we to repay the loan. So the administrator want to sell this country as slaves. What happens to earnings from our national endowment. Where the hell are they to get the money to repay this huge loan.

Area4Area:
Tell us how much a South Korean would be buying same machine in the his local currency

Am so happy you mentioned South Korea economy. I see them as a fine blueprint for us to follow diligently infact to read as a text.

1 dollar to 1187 Won.

Poor currency ratio of course.

However, the economy is export driven. Export driven economy is a great changer. More still, they are very technologically developed. In short they have factories. They can self produce machines. Family businesses and conglomerates such as Hyundai automobile, Samsung and LG, they export electronics, textiles, ships, steels etc

Then most of it's problem is historical,North Korean trouble. Dollar against it has been high from time past.

But their per capital income is high, highly technological society.

For the high dollar, they try to buy from their fellow Asians and self production, their problem is mainly historical, compared to we that the problem shouldn't be at all

Magicians:
Was that what Ebele did when Nigeria became the largest economy in Africa or it is only Buhari that did that according to your shamelessly flawed reasoning ?!

Unfortunately you the slowpoke being cajoled here

9jaRealist:
Bro, that's NOT how it works...
The Yen is about Y110 to 1USD, but Japan is a bigger (and richer) economy than South Africa.

However, a bigger economy is NOT synonymous with a richer one...
China has a bigger economy than Japan, but is much poorer measured by GDP per capita.
>

You guys are being misled, Nigeria cost of production per goods is very high, poor electricity and unfavorable business climate... Tell me how it's nominal GDP will be high, more still, the rate of import is astronomical....

Where the hell are you guys getting the big economy from, is it MTN or Glo, communication industry that is even eating from the per capital income.

Ever heard of media manipulation by government?

destinie2019:
Don't mind them. Buhari and his junta are the only beneficiaries. They are dipping into the dollar reserve. They are dollar denominated. Naira is strange to them. That's why he devalued the naira even further since he came. If all we produce is oil and we buy everything, what was the rationale behind weakening the naira


Shege poverty capital.

God help us for this country

1 dollar to 15.38 Rand
1 dollar to 365.50 Naira

1 Rand to 23.77 naira

Why are we being deceived, if our economy were that good, our currency won't go that way.

We don't need a soothsayer to tell us our economy is poor, infact extremely poor.

So you as a Nigerian investor, you want to buy a machine worth $1000 which would cost you 365,000 Naira compared to a South African investor who will paid15,380 Rand.

Which of the two investors would be smiling?

People rejoicing at these "audio" economy should continue...

One common features of Nigerian paid articles is that, they are stupidly long. Then full of gibberish.

Rubbish, God bless United States, if not for them, the fund would have gone down the drain, accounted for.

Why is Nigeria government acting as a puppet? Why are those in the helms of affairs putting Nigerians at risk?

If peradventure Nigeria was China or Italy, would any Nigerian be allowed to visit China, what crops of administrators do we have in this country. Even without such incidence we are most times denied entry.

At least mandatory quarantine for citizens from countries with high incidence of the virus. I can't believe some Chinese incomers are still undermining the health of this country and the FG has nothing to do about this.

Will 2 weeks quarantine kill anyone compared to the risk of an epidemic, where would we run to?

The constitution is clear. Even though I agree it was a miscarriage of justice, but whether a right judgement or not, Supreme Court judgement is final.

Aw, we're having severe judicial decadence, I remember when I was in secondary school, the way my teacher emphasises Supreme Court judgement Ehn.. To approach the court premises go dey fear me...

If it's not administrative error, PDP should be wise enough to withdraw Imo petition unless they want theirs too @fine.

If your friend or enemy walks into a pit by mistake and you witnessed it, falling into that same pit is sheer stupidity.

I hope the prof won't sniff in the virus with this gesture thereby infecting others..

Not just dislocation of their command structure, we want it fractured, grinded and packed into the dustbin

Gnaeusmagnus:
If government stops importing fuel they would end up having to remove fuel subsidies because automatically private people would be importing fuel.

And no, we cannot build the three new Dangote level refineries in five years to stop importing because Nigeria does not have the money.

Removing subsides means fuel prices go up to n300 and above ( which is what Benin, Niger and Cameroon pay) .

It also means, long term, more investment in the petroleum industry which means more refineries built with private money,and eventually fall in petrol prices

Great points. I appreciate the last one, that is a good way to go.. Even if it's to encourage private modular or mini refineries...

But I think, covering a festering problem will do us no good. Government subsidy or fuel importation ought to be a temporary measure not a long term thing. It's causing us harm indirectly as we are still paying for it through increase cost of goods.

I think the Refineries we have on ground can be resuscitated and effectively utilized so that we drastically reduce PMS importation, its senseless.

Yankiss:
Nigeria doesn't need further currency downturn. It will destroy a lot more. Buhari and his economic-illiterates should leave Nigeria alone. Our country deserves progress.

I swear

oz4real83:
We don't need a soothsayer to tell us this. Increased Vat, increased minimum wage, high cost of production, poor electricity supply are some factors that breed inflation which in turn manifests in low currency value.

Are you saying "increased minimum wage" is causing us inflation? Funny.

Go tell your government to work on the refineries and stop wasting dollar vault on importing PMS, crude oil - our main export commodity price is falling yet they are importing PMS (40% of the import) why won't you have dollar deficit thus low currency value.

Bro, they should deal with the economic problem not casting the blame on the poor, do you care to include how much the legislative and executive earn and their bonuses, cars, travels etc. Yet you wrote "minimum wage", you didn't even write about the " high cost of living", bro leave the poor out of this. Our unfortunate leaders put us in this mess.
