Charcoal helps alot... You can try it ... Just have them changed regularly. The burnt smell of the charcoal is a turn off for rats.

ivolt:
Fake news.
CCTV or not, there is no evidence of rape and the man was never going to any jail.
Rape is one of the most difficult case to prosecute and the victim's word is never enough for conviction.

Then I should pray for you to experience it , so tbag when u get to court , you can tell the judge all you have written here...

The man was a Nigerian in South Africa. He will fuckin languish in jail.. We are hated in that country.

alsudan:
Even if this young man gets a favorable Judgement, we all know the Lagos State Government won’t pay him shishi.

They Government would rather, the court seize properties and allow them rot in the court premises.

Then next year, same properties would be added to the budget at inflated prices and some fellows will cash out.

Naija is terribly sick.

Stop saying what you don't know.. Lagos has been diligent when it comes to law abiding.. Endsars victims were even paid accordingly as imposed on them by the court....

I can't speak for other states but Lagos isna pace setter

Nadaken:
I don't know why people with dots on forehead have no sense

He has not been convicted so how is he a prisoner?

It is not a fight with Buhari but Nigeria state so what are you talking

Bro forget that thing, you should be smart to know that it is not a fight against the Nigeria state as it seems to be, it is a fight against the Fulani hegemony..

EstatePropertyP:
This one can swallow lalasticlala o

I got your sarcasm... infact this can swallow an elephant.

I don't feel sad that our government did everything to deny the lekki massacre, I am appalled by the ordinary citizens that joined the lying government to spit on the graves of the heroes.

Some of these people are regular citizens like you and I but they decided to be heartless, senseless and inhumane.

May the souls of the fallen heroes never be forgotten.. Rest in peace comrades..

ScamHunter:
But since the people surrendered their land as Femi Adesina suggested, there is NOW peace in all YorubaLand. Why don't other tribes imitate our peaceful Yoruba neighbors?

You see why others don't enjoy the relative peace? It's because of shallow minded people like you. In Yoruba, we don't have too many of your kind. We have mostly people of sound mind....

brownemmanuel43:
He doesn't know that Azikiwe is a useless man. Contributed to the one Nigeria today, then Awo contributed to the civil war. These two men are useless to the core

God bless bro.... Both of these leaders contributed to our problem..

Anaerobi:
U nailed it Bro..

My brother Zik couldn't see the future.... But please no d insult d man. Respect d dead... His old enough to b ur papa na.

Actually you are right... I will be more civil next time.

brownemmanuel43:
Mr. Historian, hv u ever come across any igbo that talks about zik before? Or hv u seen where an Igbo man is being proud of zik before?
Back to the topic, this is a case of Sunday being poisoned in Benin Republic not one old and lost soul like zik that u are using to comfort yourself

You don't just jump to discussion bro.. Check the comment I responded to.

You don't have to be proud of Zik but let the generation coming behind be aware that the fundamental problems we are having today was caused by him and stop blaming Awolowo for all your problems..

Buckeyemedia1:
Please never address Nnamdi Azikiwe as useless.

Forget the name, check what they did... Make your research, he was the reason why we have united Nigeria till today.... Other people saw the future and they told him that secession clause should be included in our constitution
.. Guess what, he stood against it...

He said the clause should be removed and thag is why we do not have the clause in our constitution from the beginning....

Some of our so called leaders are no Saints... They dug our graves and Awolowo isn't exempted.

SlayerForever:
They have abandoned their freedom fighter. They can betray even God in heaven.

What are you useless governor doing about MNK? Instead of taking your fight to the presidency, you are attacking your own people...

Go and ask your useless Azikwe why he debated against secession when our constitution was being formed..

Or u were not told that Awolowo asked for secession to be including in our constitution in Lancaster London but Mr One Nigeria objected against it..

That you in this mess today, blame nobody other than Zik who was myopic enough not to see the future.

OgunkeelAllMod:
my friend shut up.the useless Lugardian Contraption has never, I repeat, has never produced any person worthy of the the title of President as their first world counterpart.. Especially your so called Nuthead (North) what they have produced so far in 40 something wasted years of the the LOCUST are mere brainless, visipnless nonentity, riffraffs,idiots quota system rulers (by game of number)posing as President. The closest ,all encompassing world class politician was Awo. Even Ojukwu, the reverred biafran leader testified to that. But he was betrayed by his yo-robbanza coward hungry cursed tribe..the bastard .Tinubu, who betrayed MKO is running for president now

Obviously you have derailed from our original discussion.... It ends here

Faber:
Garbage as usual. Go to Abia State and tell a Landlord or rent owner that you're from Mbaise, he will not allow you close to his property. Even Mbaise people are scared of themselves. Stop thinking with ur coconut head

It is a pity for you to consider my being against your hatred against Mbaise as having a coconut head... It is sad.

Someone planted this seed of hatred and you all bought it . It is sad..

OgunkeelAllMod:
firm control of what exactly

Keep living in self denial... The North has produced more president and they are even being"mercifully" by considering the south once in a while...
KEY positions are being held by the north ,

Our military is occupied by the north

Even our weapons of warfare are in their care and you are saying in firm control of what exactly?

See bro, the Northerners own Nigeria, the more reason I support Oduduwa and Biafra...

Faber:
I look to your face and tell you what I need to tell you. I don't even care whose ox is gored... including ur useless opinion of me

YOU are even venting your anger... Wait who is more useless? You demeaned your fellow Igbos simply because they are Mbaise and you feel good about it.. You said theh are stained, it is your brain that is stained. You keep hanging to what you were told out of hatred. Everyone, even fellow Igbos are cautioning you yet you feel you are still right.. You should be ashamed of yourself... I pray you don't plant tbag hatred in tbe minds of your children when you begin to have them.. It's not your fault though, I blame those that fed you with that stupid thing.

SecretReporter:
One day a Southerner will be president and the north will be paid with thier own coin, I hope they survive it

Even if a South becomes the president,. The Northerners are still in firm control. You can't pay dem nada.

Faber:
Owerri guys are love peddlers, but very jealous with their own wives.

Although Madam post no get meaning,

Nevertheless, Mbaise men, very close to Owerri, are the worst men in South East..as for their ladies omoh...very horrible. They are just meant to marry themselves. Them and Ngwa people are the same. Never ever allow Ngwa and Mbaise man marry your daughter, na suffering dey await her. I don talk my own finish.

And someone like you will be shouting SAY NO TO RACISM when infact you are the worst.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
That's to tell you the kind of people we have here. That guy's know nothing about any other place except his region and the vast empty land mass. If not how can a grown up man be saying Isreal is being fed?

You are very right. These I rarely comment or reply anyone on nairaland. Honestly we have kids who are admission seekers chasing clouts here. You read some comments and you feel awkward.

How on earth will some just spill that nonsense? Israel that is developing rapidly in the area of warfare and yet maintain a stable economy. They have the best and most dedicated secret service in the world ( Mossad )..
People need to learn.

OgunLaakaye:
And same state of Israel is still being fed by the west

And if it might interest you, it’s one of the below par nations in the Middle East

And that’s inclusive of all the funding from the west

Which Israel is this one talking about? It is not Israel Atanda or Israel Adesanya... The tiny nation of Israel has one of the highest per capital income in the world. Israel is extremely well developed in tbe education, health and technology sectors. Are you okay at all to have said Israel is a poor country? U no Normal I swear. In that region, no nation is richer than Israel.

anorexicmuster:
1. I have no sympathy for the Buhari administration. I did not vote for them or support them. They are very useless in ruling nigeria.

2. I still stand by what i wrote though. Smuggling is a threat to our economic stability. It is one of the reasons, and by no means is it the only reason, why we don't have enough jobs and why we lose billions in dollars and revenue

3. Grow up.

You called it smuggling because the government made it so. Ordinarily it should be importation. How about that?

If the government wants to turn smuggling into importation, they know what to do dear brother.. And if they want the menace of smuggling to continue, then they should keep up.
I know you are up for local productions so asto create job opportunities.. Yes that's very correct but there are ways to that, it just won't happen in a day and again, the government policies are not helping... Look at the farmers now, how many of them do you think still go to the farm? Yes the scourge of Herdsmen killings still persist with the government looking the other ways..

AntiWailer:
Nobody expected Naira to rise just by shutting AbokiFX down. If you believed that, you are either ignorant, mischievous or just a victim of picking common thoughts on the street.

For Naira to rise, we need to manufacture and export. Reduce imports drastically and reduce our reliance on dollars then the basic Economics of Demand and Supply will kick in on the price.

The problem AbokiFX bring is speculation issues. it is one of the problems and others would be tackled accordingly. There are about 7 other reasons to be tackled.
1. Inflation rate.
2. Interest rate.
3. trade balance.
4. Government debt
5. Terms of trade
6. Political and stability of performance.
7. Recession
8. Speculations.

If you observe the list closely you will discover that the Govt's failure is responsible for majority of them and that is why there is no hope anytime soon. The decision which is a right decision no doubt, at best took care of only item 8. the 7 other monsters must be dealt with.

Many people asked several questions around where AbokiFX get their data from. There was no sensible answer.

Also a lot of people rely on AbokiFX to make decisions on how much they will buy or sell their dollars so let us take an example.

If AbokiFX continues operations and all of a sudden post #750 to 1 dollar (recall we don't have any logic behind the price they post), thousands of people who use AbokiFX to av an idea of how much they will sell will definitely not sell at 450 right ?

Even if people say they are mad, they will not sell cos they believed if AbokiFX says 750, it is likely close. The refusal to sell automatically impacts supply while the demand for dollars keep going up, price will definitely rise at a rate not steady.


Please note that this is highly intellectual. I will try and reply every mention.

If u don't understand, I can forgive you but if your response is only insult because it is too much for your capacity to think, i can also forgive you but will likely ignore you.

I agree it is not every time posts would be interesting like Squid Game or Tonto Dike vs Kpopo.

You did write well and stated the obvious. Shutting down abokifx is not totally a bad one but truste, the government made that to prosper for too long.

There are other fundamental issues that the government has not solution to , they are only venting their anger on abokifx as if he is the one responsible for our whole naira fall.

Trust me, when the government allows exportation and diversify the economy from the petrol Dollar economy, that's when the naira strength can truly begin. The government intervention in the currency war hasn't been helpful as well because in a saner clime, demand and supply are actually the real measure of any currency determinant.

You have done justice by listing other problems in your comment and I like the fact that speculation was placed at the lowest. If you have followed abokifx for long, and the current exchange rate, you will discover that he just wasn't fixing price as if he is the lord of price.. It is the price from the street. Don't get me wrong here, I know what speculation does to any currency because I have been trading forex for over 10 years and it is a speculative market.

What I am submitting right now is that the government should channel the energy being used to bring up unnecessary policies to creating more avenues for us to earn in dollars as a nation.

Secondly, the government intervention should be totally limited and allow D and S laws to take charge.

Thirdly,we saw how the naira fell last week despite the fixed rate on I&E window to about 1$ to 422 from 411 and this goes to show that the problem is more fundamental than speculation. We need to close this window and make it non profitable to those that make fortune from the speculative market and how do we do that? We need to go the ways I listed above.

Thanks

[quote author=anorexicmuster post=106803561]We don't have a vibrant textile industry like we did in the 60's-early 90's because of massive smuggling from outside. That means job losses, and a host of other problems.

We are trying now to develop our rice industry for over a decade now. And smuggling threatens it.

Buhari pikin... Epele ooo.. See as you dey reason.... Government policies kill the textile industry my brother and it made importation attractive. The same with parboiled rice..

When last did you or your family eat the local rice? Secondly how much is it? Why is the government fighting a natural law? Do you know how much they sell rice in the north? It's far cheaper than the south and you know why? Because they borders are porous and the government isn't doing anything about it.

Government should fix the local rice productions and and make it affordable and cheaper and nutrients filled.. It will naturally displaced the demand for foreign rice. People are hungry , that's when you are planning to develop what was already dead. Isn't that wickedness?

Instead of the government to lower the import duty and tax so that people can bring rice through our ports thereby generating funds for the government, it is blocking our borders.

The government with her policies are killing Nigerians and businesses...

Do you know it is the same reasons why people prefer to import automobiles through the land borders because to clear a car at our port is more expensive and people will prefer other countries...

Stop your unnecessary sympathy for a failed administration and start reasoning normally.

stinechykee:
It seems like you are underrating Igbos.During Sharia law crisis it was Igbos that took the fight to all the Muslims all over the North while the Northern Christians was behind them.I don't know why you people think when it comes to confrontation or bloody fight that Fulanis can challenge Igbos but you and I know that when Igbos are pushed to the wall they can be bloody even worst than the so called Fulanis you people hyped

Then you got me wrong.. No tribe has the monopoly of violence and even the coolest of any tribe will fight back when pushed... I love the Igbos even though we may have some technical differences...

What I am saying is that except maybe when pushed to the wall like you said, the Igbos are like doves in the north major Markets. They don't have the freedom they enjoy in Lagos.. They are oppressed. I am not saying this to undermine the Igbos in general. Like I said I respect this tribe...

loveth360:
It will happen in north and northern bandits won't do pin!.

Common bro , be objective. The Igbo traders in tbe north won't dare this.

Have you ever been to any major Market in the north at all?

Let's be honest, Yorubas especially are more into these kinds of stuffs. There was a survey sometimes back where it was established that while the Igbos are more into illicit drugs than any other tribe in Nigeria , the Yorubas are more into internet scam.

These are fundamental issues eating deeper than we can ever imagine. These stuffs are dimming the future hope of our children. We are losing our nobilities as a nation under these evil acts.

The government still has a lot to do and please don't ask me what I think the government should do because this page won't contain me.

As for the Hausa / Fulanis, don't also ask me what they do to tarnish the image of the country. You and I know that already...

In short, we are all collectively dimming the hopes of the future generation if nothing is done now... The legit people will find it difficult to prosper In a foreign country under these warranted profiling be it the developed or developing nations.

MadamVanessa:
So without pink attachment and wigs, Cuppy can't carry any other color on her head. She's too obsessed with pink color. I hope she dye her pubic hairs pink color too.

Wait , must you hate? This is her signature for crying out loud... It's what sells her... She even painted her Ferrari to pink from the original black... She is a celebrity and she picks what she is okay with... Don't expect her to change her signature color anytime soon cos of people like you.

ntrukpum:
Hello friends, my daughter is very far ahead of her peers (class mates and outsiders) academically and otherwise. She started school when she was 2yrs. 3wks in school she had already knw how to write 1 to 10, A to F (I mean write not just to read).

Now she is 3yrs and she does things extraordinary. She can write 1 to 200, Aa to Zz without anybody assistance. She does her H/W alone, can read and spell two letter words. She sings a lot. I wanted her to play at least one musical instrument b4 she turns 5.

Two yrs ago, I had this vision of grooming "exceptionally intelligent" kids btw 9-12yrs to study outside their normal school curriculum. I mean a 9yr old kid in JS1 answering physics and advance maths question. Am still working on it. But my child is just 3yrs old and i am begining to be afraid. Married with two kids, an average of 30k monthly income as a private school teacher, I think, I lack the financial resources to push my daughter to where she deserves.

I need proper advice on how to guide her now.

My son of three does exactly what you stated here ... He is addressed as prof in his class cos he is far ahead...

I think I will advise you up your income by looking into other viable businesses... Because to give them the necessary education, it will be tasking and financially challenging..

You didn't mention the father but we believe he is also contributing... Do not relent , take extra interest in her studies, ask her questions and try to engage her all the time...

Find a kiddy game for her too... My boy can handle a computer from power on / off to opening of folders , to save and delete, to play music and video and to play game on it....

These kids of these days are going to be exceptionally brilliant... Please help dem grow

WesternOligarch:
You didn't read the article... jeez

Don't mind the idiot.... I am sure he didn't rrad it... BY pegging the dollar against the naira, you are creating artificial scarcity and some people are Making millions daily.... Let the gap be close, law of demand and supply should be allowed and encourage exportation business....

In few months, our exchange rates will improve...The cabal benefiting from these won't let this happen..,.

If you go die make you die, the abokis are the ones benefiting from this scheme...

DubaiLandLord2:
Go and write it down somewhere, Osinbanjo won't have up to 10% of Tinubu votes in the primary election if he contest against Tinubu.

Tinubu have far more loyalist in the APC. No man in the APC can defeat him in the primary election.

But in a fair generation election... Oainbajo will floor him..
Only a backward and cursed person will vote Tinubu ahead of Oainbajo...

What am I even saying? Nigeria is a cursed nation with bad leadership since inception nah....

DissTroy:
That's not what I meant. I meant, I don't believe the U.S. have extraterrestrials caged in Area 51 and being experimented upon.

There has been more than half-a-century-long conspiracy about it but no proof aliens have touched down on Earth.

But I believe there's intelligent life out there, somewhere. Maybe not even in the Milky Way Galaxy.

I have seen a video where a former US President acknowledged that he saw humanoid creature in Area 51 and some conspiracy theorist believed the president was killed because he opined that the public should know about it..

I have some books I would love to share with you if you don't mind.
