And after the sack, what will happen?

Bobloco:
Your foolery is legendary

This is irrelevant to the subject matter,under discussion

muyico:
some Euro country still make use of this

Yeah, you will still see these animal driven carts in Bulgaria, Albania and some parts of Kosovo

What kind of journalism is this?
People have been using this cattle driven carts in rural areas in the North since the 1960s. It has nothing to do with subsidy.

Bullfallo:
Naira is perfuming poorly to all currency in the world.

Not just the dollar. I don’t know why you all focus on the dollars

Then close the Naira and let Nigeria start spending dollar. Those who can't get any dollar should trade through barter. Adejo takes goats and maize to the market and take Laptop from Johnson while Aunty Rashidat takes her basket of pepper to the market, Emma take it and give her packets of antibiotic plus a pack of peak milk...shiekena.

Great.

Bobloco:
Is there good governance anywhere in Nigeria

This why we need Gbadebo to start governance in Anambra State

Bobloco:
Are you from Lagos state?

We need good governance in the SE too.

Ofodirinwa:
Yes they did, the catholic church. I'm telling you actual history as a historian

The Catholic Church had nothing to contribute to the coloniasm of Nigeria.

In 1885, European powers sat for days at Berlin, Germany to divide Africa (as spoils of wars) among themselves and the areas around Rivers Niger,Benue to Lake Chad was allocated to Britain.

The Colonialists invested little resources to colonised the territory and exploited our natural resources freely.
They also turned the peoples to Labourers producing Cocoa, Timber, cotton ,Hides & Skin and other Agricultural products for British economy with minimal rewards for the producers.

During the colonial era, Nigeria could only import goods from Britain unless the goods weren't available in Britain, then they had to get permission from the Colonial Masters for European trading firms like UAC, PZ, Levers Brothers, CFAO, UTC, Leventis etc to import the manufactured goods from British-Friendly countries like France and much later, Japan.
At that time, British controlled media used to spread propaganda against Japanese goods as being substandard.

Nigeria only started trading with other countries few years after independence.

Indifferent12:
This track record of a thing is what will eventually end Nigeria, because all the people with track records that have been ruling Nigeria, I have not seen the outcome. Even the so called Lagos tinubu built is a glorified slum.

Then let Gbadebo build Anambra sir

janeedema:
Well, I don't agree with you. I went through the chats and I am wowed by the civility with which she communicated.

She was building a company. She was paying the guy from her personal money. And for someone who had worked with her for months, he should have been more understanding.

She wasn't rude or condescending in her words. She only dared the guy to do what he threatened after she complained of his incessant messages and he dared to escalate her not paying.

The woman was pregnant and clearly complained about some lapses in his delivery and asked that he owned up.

Well, he has gotten his money but has succeeded in chasing people away from working with him. Who wants their chats posted online when there's conflict? His brand has become one to be avoided. And no matter how talented you are, if people notice that you can embarrass them publicly, they'll avoid you.

Even the richest are sometimes broke. Wisdom no matter how long it takes will win you the heart of kings. Money is no t everything. Embarrassing someone online who owes you is not wise.

He will finish the money in no time but have terminated a bridge forever. It isn't worth it.

Choose a good name over money--everytime.

Live in such a way that you owe no one anything. Let them owe you instead. You don't need to be even with anyone.

Please keep quiet if you think there is any wisdom is owing an employee 8 months salaries or that Patience is what you still need after being owed 8 months salaries.

So the have to be dragged online before paying the debts?
Can they do that in saner climes, they love to qoute?

Bobloco:
Gbadebo is more a Lagosian than Tinubu, Fashola and Sanwo-olu combined

He can contest for governorship in Imo State too

Orlu13:
ronus have seen something to chill with in this harsh economy.... they have been waiting fr ages fr this kind of news..meanwhile...



may Gbadebo paying his debts favor me and my family

Chika ,who called out GRV's wife is from the SE, it had nothing to do with Ronu.

Nigerians are too sentimental.

It is a very bad attitude in Nigeria where people don't like paying their debts.

On several occasions, I had to practically beg people to pay me my own money and if you borrow people money in Nigeria, just know that sorry is your case.

duduade:
All I see is someone who went broke and suddenly remembered one person somewhere dey owe am money for some half baked job he did

Rubbbbisssshhhh

Now wey he don collect the money, let's see if he no use am buy foodstuffs, cook, chop and deficate

Whether Chika uses the money to buy beans or bread isn't anybody's business. The Labourer deserves his wages.

Alexis11:
Lol I thought some persons said it is a sponsored propaganda by Tinubu

I still don't understand what is special about GRV wife that Tinubu will be sponsoring a propaganda against?

It has nothing to do with Tinubu or APC , most Nigerians don't just like paying their DEBTS unless you go hard on them.

I used to run a business back home in Nigeria and I can't count the number of times I had to practically beg people to pay me my own money. Even Nigerians that are rich can be owing you as low as #80,000.

SouthSouth1914:
You are a half baked educational slowpoke. What was the appointment for if not to turn around the economic woes Nigeria is currently experiencing. Your ilks are the ones currently supporting Tinubu, yet were quickly to judge GEJ because of ethnic coloration!

You just argue based on emotion, not facts.
This look like one SS-3 guy who became very angry with his father for relocation of the Family from a Duplex at NNPC Quaters at Asokoro to a Bungalow at Suleja after the Father retired from the NNPC. The guy who grew-up living in NNPC Senior Staff Quarters had taking it for granted that that is their 'level' and didn't recognized the fact that their status changed when the Father ceased to be an employee of NNPC and yet to face the realities of their 'real level'

SensetionalGoal:
You fail to address the essence of this post which is the incompetency of cardoso

And as usual you have turned it into ethnic bashing thing.... for how long are you going to continue doing this?

Which universal law are you talking about and which region are you referring to... Start by mentioning your own region

First, you need to understand the roles and functions of the CBN, before assessing whther they have done well or not in these duties.

most Nigerians were born into and grew up with the system in which the CBN uses the Foreign reserve to artificially fix the exchange rate (often with multiple exchange rates e.g #450= $1 for Hajj travellers, #520= $1 for international students, #530=41 for Petrol marketers etc) . This is not the core mandate of the CBN ,more over, such policy is no longer sustainable.
Another problem of this artificial exchange rates is that those who got it at a cheaper rate always go back to re-sell it at the black markets at exorbitant prices which further worsen the crisis.

Oghene86:
I know this guy would be a failure, but you allow them disgrace themselves, Naira to dollars is fast approaching 1500 before April.

How much should the exchange rate be?

Armaggedon:
Idiot is busy moving CBN headquarters to Lagos while the economy is collapsing. Some people just can't seem to rise above ethnic consideration in making commonsensical judgement that benefits all

.

How much do you wish the exchange rate should be?

Misplaced priorities.

The CBN has autonomy on it's functions and can designate some of it's offices anywhere for specific purposes. The CBN banking regulations department is NOT the same as the Headquarters of the CBN.

Ofodirinwa:
The church gives the colonists the authority to colonize, the compromise is the colonist have to allow them to build churches to generate revenue and followers of the church. The Pope was the original UN, so it's equivalent of today's UN recognizing or not recognizing a state of a claim. I don't know if you're aware of the Catholic Church signing a doctrine that deemed blacks and non-christians were sub human, and therefore any crime committed against them is not technically a crime. This is what legitimized and truly launched the slave trade. This is why, no matter what country is colonizing, the Catholic church can have access to all colonies. England is not Catholic

Great post anyways. You're correct

The Colonialists didn't need anybody approval to carry out their mission. The came to exploit the land and they succeeded.

BitterTruth0001:
You’re missing my point
That hospital and all the other good things could’ve been done through the colonial government , not the church.
Read my first post on this thread. Why were the good benefits like hospitals , schools etc packaged through the church instead of the government if not that it was intended to separate us from our traditional religion and culture

They knew very well that it was not religion that transformed their own societies so why did they sell that idea to us ?

The Colonial Government came to Africa to do business and reap profits for themselves and home country.
The little achievements they made were things that were necessary for their objectives.

Long before British colonialism commenced, different Europeans had been interacting with different tribes in Nigeria as traders and Missionaries.

In 1859, CMS Grammar School, Lagos was established by the Church Missionary Society under the leadership of the Rev Barbinton Macaulay (the son-in-law of Bishop Ajayi Crowther and father of Herbert Macaulay). Several Schools and Hospitals were established by the Missionaries long before Formal colonialism started in 1900.

JASONjnr:
Is there any Dangote products that comes cheap?

Dude will assume the cost of production is high and relative to the price.

Dangote got all the federal government support, but the same government will use him to inflict suffering on Nigerians by pecking the price high.

Things that S/Africans will set the company ablaze. Nigerians will go to church to pray for God to touch these corrupt people's heart.

Can you and your friends construct a small refinery that can be supplying petrol to Bayelsa State at #200 per litre? Nigeria will be forever grateful to you.

SmartPolician:
Oga, they should decentralise this country.

Every organisation shouldn't have its headquarters in Lagos and you don't expect a chaos. Lagos is already a hellhole. People waste productive time in traffic and complain bitterly, but they can do nothing about it.

If we had a serious government, they will ask organisations to strategically move their headquarters across regions in the country and enjoy massive government support. This is how America spread its wealth, and not concentrate it around one state.

Yeah, this is the reason, the Jonathan's administration constructed the Standard Guage Rail from Abuja to Kaduna, where the Nigerian Defence Academy and other major military installations are situated plus a Refinery.

The National Institute for Strategic Studues and Vetinary Centre are situated in Jos,Plateau State.

CandidAdmin:
It's the price of petrol that caused the increase not the farmers.
The little the farmers are adding is because of insecurity.

Both are FG's problem.

So, how will the Farmers make enough money to buy Air conditioner, Toyota Camry and pay #250,000 for the tuition fees of their children in the universities?

CandidAdmin:
Please Nigerians, abeg I want to know when we will stop keeping quiet because Garri is now 800 naira per congo in my area, rice is 2k and beans is 1600. Even semolina 1kg is 1k. Spag is 7h and so on. Abeg I just want to know because e be lyk say dis silence dey kill person pass the inflation.

Anyways, you fi help someone with something?

The farmers producing these foods also need to make money.
We need to increase production to reduce the prices and we also need to produce other items to meet our needs and create jobs for our youths

RealEzee:
Hmmm DSS no respond

So all d NIN BVN n etc way dem force us do because of tins like dis na for wetin

About 80% of all crimes are motivated by monetary rewards and if Gov't track the flow of monies in Nigeria, so many criminal gangs will be discovered without firing a shot. There are many computer softwares that can study and analysize financial transactions in every State in the last six months and you will see the pattern starring at you with koro-koro eyes.

The kidnappers won't eat the money, they will spend them. We can track the the flow of money into every account, study the pattern and the people behind these accounts. We can get their addresses, all companies and transactions linked to them can be traced. Illegal activities always leave cues.

nairalanda1:
Them Kidnappers are not using their phones, they are using the victim's phones.

In such a case NIN won't help.

NIN linkage was meant to work if the kidnapper used their own phone for communication. Most kidnappers bypass that by using the victim's phone, or in areas near the border, using phones of non Nigerian GSM companies.

Tracking the phone can be done sans NIN...but the problem is, the kidnapper making the call may not be in the same area as the victims. Also, some areas do not have network. Tracking won't work.

Even if they are using the victim's phone, the calls can be tracked to a particular location and they can be fished out.

The REAL issue is that there are some people sympathetic to the Bandits and the FG, for whatever reason is unwilling to arrest these people.

If these Bandits move across the border to Niger Rep and try these madness, they will be arrested and killed within one month because the environment is not receptive to their activities.

clearcrystal:
Thanks for this, this is exactly my fear, the terrorists are more sophisticated than we think and the military need to up their game and be wary of their antics.
I strongly believe they are sponsored by some foreign eliment who supplies them with weapon.
Im positive that with the combined effort of the airforce and military we will surely defeat the terrorist.
Drone will play a major role in the fight against terrorist and the earlier we start using the better for us.

I also wish our bother isn't this porous, our aviation have full control of the airspace and the custom have control over every item shipped into this country.😕

The terrorists are NOT more sophisticated than Nigerian Military but they have backers, supporters and sympathizers withing the Military

Have you ever wondered why these terrorists don't extend their operation across the borders to Togo and Benin Republic, which are poorer countries with weaker security agencies than Nigeria?

They know that they have no supporters there and would be dealt with there.

Solution:

1) State Police: each State should protect itself

2) FG should engage Military Contractors/Mercenaries from North Korea (who are neither Christian nor Muslims nor Jewish and will not be easy to be blackmailed with religious bigotry) to flush out the Terrorists. Nigerian Military is too compromised.

mrvitalis:
No hating really but don't you guys work on your streets

Not a single streets is done on this long span of roads

Growing up in port Harcourt all our streets were tarred.. Not a single sign any streets have been tarred before

I think how we see roads in SS/SE is different from SW and North really

How many kilometers of tarred roads are in Anambra and Abia States?
