The best solution is to collapse the Kano and the four additional Emirates into 2.
Bayero rules over one and Sanusi the other.

When one joins his ancestor, the emirate will be combined back to the surviving King whose successor will continue as the sole King of the Unified Emirate

This might work in Obi's favor.

Without being in control of any state, Kwankwaso might see his electoral value is diminished and might be willing to parley

If you had moved it back by just 2 years to 2014, most items would have been about 10 times more expensive

These are the same Northerners that when election time comes will still give bloc votes on the basis of religion to politicians who have refused to give them basic protection.

Same people that if the US announces of an intention to strike terrorists, they will be given placards to go and protest foreign intervention. They will say "US is the devil" but no protest against Turji and the bandits who have been terrorizing their lives for years

Will I lift up my eyes to the Hills,
Does my help come from the Hills (No).

My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer my foot to be moved.
He that keeps me will not slumber

This guy has fought his coach (Finidi), has fought the opponents (Tunisian bench) and now is fighting his teammate.

The only thing left is the referee and at this rate e go fight referee one day

FreeStuffsNG:
Venezuelan Ambassador to Nigeria Enrique Fernando Arrundell could not have offered his advice on Nigeria’s management of its petroleum resources at a better time. [/b]The anchor of government’s argument is that higher prices would draw foreign investors to the down stream sector of the industry.

[b]This editorial was originally published by Vanguard Newspaper on December 4th 2009.


Professor and Minister of Information Dora Akunyili had solicited Venezuelan investments for our refineries.

Mr. Arrundell’s response was without diplomatese. He launched a profound lecture on Nigeria’s oil and gas.

Enrique Fernando Arrundell, former Venezuela Ambassador to Nigeria (picture below)

I am not saying it is good to increase fuel price indiscriminately neither do I support another country taking control of your resources

BUT nobody should take economic advice from Hugo Chavez, that guy basically ruined Venezuela's economy to the point where people were queuing to buy tissue paper - it was that bad.

And when you consider that Venezuela's oil output is about 60% of Nigeria's while their population is less than 20% of Nigeria , then you realise as bad as Governance in Nigeria is, we are still better managed than Venezuela

The first start of the day, always allows the RMP to drop to 1 or a bit lower than 1..... that's allow the car to warm up before driving.

Sincere question here - do you think modern engines still need the warm up?
I thought that was an issue with older cars

Drxxzy:
Hello house. Pls which amongst these cars can someone buy in Nigeria and enjoy without constant mechanical issues;

Benz GLK 2014
Toyota Camry 2016/17
Toyota Camry 2018/19
Lexus rx 350 2013
Benz c300 2016
Honda accord 2018/20
Toyota Corolla 2016/17/18

Budget is 15-18m max 20m. I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks everyone.

I have owned the first 2 (slightly different years though)
Benz GLK 2015 and Toyota Camry 2015.

I will say they are both impressive and have been relatively problemless for me. I have used both of them for more than 2 years and I have travelled extensively with them. I just came back from a 6 hour trip with the Camry days ago and it was a smooth Journey.

However, the GLK is something of a luxury car, if you need an everyday work tool, go for the Camry.

The cons of the GLK is that unless you are heavily loaded, even you will be afraid to just carry it anywhere cos maintenance is on the extreme high side (it doesn't give issues freuently but when it does be prepared to spend). Surprisingly, the fuel consumption on the highway is low almost equivalent to the Camry, though it does consume a lot in inner city drive.

The only con thus far for the Camry is that the 2015 and beyond versions are extremely low, I have several times had to get a panel beater to work on the lower parts of my bumber cos it is always hitting stuff on the ground but the important parts of the car - the engine, the gear and other inner parts are extremely reliable

I really don't know the specifics of this story so I am hesitant to judge on this but my comment is based on my own experience at Lafia/Larmude.

First off, based on the reports, the incident did not happen in Yola, Lafia/Larmude is perhaps an hour away from the capital - Yola.

Two Lafia/Larmude has a reputation for being a volatile town and in many occasion have been reported to attack security operatives, block the federal roads that crosses thru the town (which incidentally is the only road that leads to the far North east) once that road is blocked, nobody can proceed into or outside the North east.

I have been stuck in Larmude for about 7 hours while travelling due to a similar situation, local boys attacked a Police (or civil defense, can't remember which now) vehicle and the security operatives shot to repel and killed one of them and hell was let loose. the roads were blocked and by evening the indigenes started attacking travellers stuck on the road side.

I was personally attacked by two boys but I fought them back, clung to my bag and screamed for help. At some points all the travellers were told to huddle together in one area to defend ourselves against the thugs who were all locals.

Luckily for us, the military was actually stationed not too far away and when they saw the situation was getting out of hand - it was night and vehicles were piled up for kilometres and the boys were not letting off and worse, they were robbing passengers, the soldiers decided to swoop in, firing gunshots directly at those boys.

The situation never got to mainstream media but I am sure a lot of people might have been killed that day because I remember clearly that the soldiers were shooting directly at them.

Anyway, that's my experience with that town and I can't say much about this particular incidence but Larmude definitely has a bad rep when it comes to violence (note that the story mentioned chobo speaking militia, this is one of the tribes around that area, they are almost perpetually involved in communal crisis from what I heard ) and I can sort of guess why security operatives might have acted overboard

Tukur did not just receive 50 Million from terrorist, he is actually part of the terrorist network - the public facing arm

Also include The Ayew brothers

In economies with large informal sectors, prices tend to coalesce around denominations.

Can you please explain where you got your deduction from?

Is it based on an economic theory or a research paper?

creolehunt:
Someone please explain in very simple and practical terms how the introduction of higher denominations will lead to inflation or in the words of one of the posters above, hyperinflation.

I wait.

One of the dumber things I have heard.


What about this neo banks that allow you to transfer as much as 300k in one go, why has that not led to hyperinflation.

We should be looking at how these notes will ease cash handling and be in line with current economic realities

The sad part is that most citizen are getting to a place of indifference. The general belief is that sub saharan Africa has not enjoyed the so called dividends of democracy

njokuuche77:
This is really interesting, but it raises some questions for me.
When you see figures like $243,000 in virtual coins, you start to wonder how platforms like this actually work behind the scenes. In some cases, similar setups have been used to quietly move funds through inflated transactions, multiple accounts, or crypto-based exchanges.

I’m not saying that’s what’s happening here, but it would be good to understand how these gaming platforms track and verify the flow of money.
Abi make person help me break am down, make we understand am better?

You are wise

FarahAideed:
What kind of silly talk is this ? How are they geniuses? They are criminals who simply breach trust , there is nothing smart about what the do , they just breach trust ..From life experiences I noticed the lower someone IQ is the more likely he is prone to breach trust.

God bless you.
It's easy to breach trust in high trust society.


Just like saying betraying someone who trusted you make you highly intelligent

If the list is considered as a percentage of the population, then Estwani should be on top

interesting thread

Popular mistake a lot of people make - Judaism started about 2300 years ago.
The initial Israelite religion was not named but modern scholars call it Yahwism - the worship of Yahweh.

Yahwism started with Moses around 3500 years ago and was succeeded by Judaism and the Samaritan religion.

There were significant differences between the 2, Going into them will require a thread of its own but not today

agentNija:
Manuel Neuer to me is the best among them. He started what coaches are now calling 'playing from the back'. Peter Cech remains the best ever.

Cech?

He was great but did you see Buffon, Schmeichel or Dino Zoff

meobizy:
In the first place, that a robbery and rape occurred in the UK is baffling to me. She must’ve lived in a rough neighbourhood. Her committing suicide afterward is more surprising. Everybody has their beliefs. Fear of the unknown sent her to the grave.

If my memory serves me right, the robbery occured in Nigeria. She later traveled to the UK

Basic123:
A train will have been better...preferably high speed train

Modern rails especially for high speed trains are very expensive to build and maintain, especially on long routes.

To be honest, rather than any wasteful venture, the best option is to fix the existing highway and make it motorable. We do not need 'super' solutions, what Nigeria needs now is a system that works

Popular Royal family in Lagos. Lots of people know his family

oz4real83:
May his soul continue rest in peace 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. The family should have also mentioned their family name and something about his origin .

Hulk Hogan never dies.
Terry Bolea just did.
Hulkamania is forever!

There are allegations that the woman might not have died a natural death."

This is a post from someone in the know about the matter

RightChannel:
Where is Aishat buhari, won't she buried her husband?

True.
Where is Aisha in all of this. We have not heard from her

They've always been in the game.

They're just more bolder now and social media and digitization has made it more difficult to hide traces of a sina lifestyle

These are the kind of post we need on Nairaland front page.

Enlightening and beneficial content.

Kudos
