The problem is lack of forex.
Lack of forex is caused by unwillingness to trade other resources like gold, bitumen, iranium for the dollar as oil is being traded.
If zamfara and co should release their gold and it is sold like oil, there will be plenty dollar to go round and it will crash to even N100 or N50 a dollar.

I am always excited when i read informed contributions like this on Nairaland. Many people post without simple knowledge of economics or how world economies run.
Thanks alot.

She ain't pregnant bruv. She's not the bitc*ing type...she wants another gal, she said she wants it to be 2 boys & 2 gals.

My guy I understand you perfectly and its not a convenient situation to be in. I have 2 lovely kids too, a boy and a girl. But I want to have one more. And for me any sex will do. Just to spice up our home a bit. This foreign culture of having just a child or maximum of two is strange. I am not saying we should have 7, but I mean three is good. However, I have noticed my wife dragging her feet about it so I am taking it jeje. No be fighting something.

These are my suggestions bro: talk to her about your concerns again. Hopefully she would understand. If that fails, I suggest to talk to someone you know she respects. Let the person help you paint the picture to her. After all, is the over all good of the family you want. So get another respectable person to help you. And her reason for wanting another child is not even good enough for me. So what happens if the next one is a girl too? You people will keep trying till the equation balances? 4-4 or 7-7 or even 11-11 ManU - Chelsea.

Lastly, you see that vasectomy option that was mentioned could be on the table but please don't go it alone o. Let her know it is an option you are considering. If you would not like your wife doing family planning without your knowledge and consent don't do it to her.

The two of you are one now. I wish you good luck chief.

She ain't pregnant bruv. She's not the bitc*ing type...she wants another gal, she said she wants it to be 2 boys & 2 gals.

My guy please leave this bitching thing alone. Like you said what your wife wants is another child, simple. See I understand you and its not a convenient situation to be in.

I have 2 lovely kids a boy and a girl. But I want another one, for me any sex will do. Just to spice up our home a bit, but I have seen my wife dragging her feet about it. I mean 3 children are not too much nao. This foreign culture of having only 1 or max 2 is strange to me o.

So my suggestion is: talk to her about your concerns again. I hope she sees reason with you. If that doesn't work, talk to anyone you know she respects about it. Asking the person to please advice her. Because her reason is not even good enough for me. So what happens if the sex she wants doesn't come? She will keep having more children?

Lastly my guy, I will strongly advice against unilaterally going for vasectomy. How would you feel if your wife does family planning without your consent? If all options fail kindly let her know of the last option you have considered. And then you can go ahead. But let her be in the picture atleast.

Both of you are one now. I wish you luck chief.

Where did the first report of the alleged massacre originate from? DJ Switch right? What did she say happened to the bodies? Now if you are a family of one of the victim, how would you come forward when you haven't seen the corpse of your relation?

Now if you haven't been selectively blind, there have been numerous missing person reports flying about the social media space since the incident, and quite possibly many will not be reported in connection to the protest because their families may not have known they were there in the first place.

I hate to lecture people. Don't let me do this again .

You just cracked me up. How many paragraphs did you write and you're talking about giving a lecture?

I just want to go to school and become someone in life

My friend, going to school is not a means to an end. It is an end in its self.

You go to school to broaden your horizon. You go to school to learn to think critically and analytically. The disciplines of schooling is to make you tick. A good school hopefully teaches you to be a contributor to society, a problem solver and a solution to the myriad societal challenges.

As for becoming someone in life, that depends largely on your choices.

A lot of people here are commending this but the truth is Osinbajo is a funny man.

Acts like these would only please people’s sentiments but really they do no good. If he’s interested in fashion, the government should implore favourable policies for designers and entrepreneurs. Especially tax policies. Build infrastructure to house designers. Open the borders to transport their products to a wider market. Sustain their currency as it is the domestic form of exchange and basis their business relies on.

Only favouring one person like this does not do anything.

I’m extremely happy for this designer, but I hope they don’t use him to buy applause and dump him along the way like THE NUMEROUS OTHERS.

Osibanjo knows fully well that he would barely wear any of these products. It’s you and I that are these young man’s customers. Politicians have an insatiatable taste for foreign and luxurious products. How then would we buy his products when we have the sale of onions and sachet milk to battle with.

Wetin concern hungry man with shoe?

I hope the story he’s trying to sell with this act favours him, especially at this particular time.

In a more important case; please check my profile. I need to raise money for my Masters Program by the first quarter of next year and so I’m selling my Landed Properties in Port Harcourt.

What the VP did here is actually commendable. I am sure he wishes he could promote all entrepreneurs and help them grow their business more than he is doing presently. Thankfully there are policies aimed at that already and entrepreneurs and startups are starting to take advantage of them.

As for the borders, they don't have to be physically opened for transborder trade for products of this nature to sell. There are online platforms that can get that done easily.

What strengthens currency is both internal and external trades. And with larger volumes of trades like these happening, it will translate to a stronger local currency with time.

In the sake of peace and good faith, the girl's father should drop this case.

Unless he is devoid of a conscience; he will be forever eaten up with guilt if he is the cause of someone's suicide, I don't want to even talk about the loss of job and untold disgrace it will bring to the policeman's family.

Besides he can't act as 'guardian at litem' because she is not a minor.
But I see lots of holes in her claims.

First, who goes downstairs to get better cellular network?
You went to his house and he asked you to come back later as he just woke up but you still stayed.
It was 1:42pm yet you decided to stay and wait for someone who was to be back at 3pm...and to think you live in this same compound.

Okay, he dragged you and began the deed and you still could not shout.
I don't know if it is because one side of my head is paining me but it does not add up to me.

The policeman is somewhat lucky that the girl was already 18years and 2days on the day of this "alleged offence" so this rules out statutory rape.

With a good lawyer or an amicus curiae like myself; the girl's confession to asking him to go get a condom can be interpreted as oral consent and then it automatically changes this case to that of contract of adhesion because he opted for skin-to-skin for his utmost pleasure.

Its good you are a lawyer. When your daughter get raped you can refuse to press charges. This one is going to loose his job and go to jail. What a disappointing post form a supposedly learnered fellow.

So that is what you will advice rape victims to do? Forget the case "in the name of peace and good faith"? Which university did you graduate from?

A white woman can never try that...

Sorry. Any heartless person can do that. White, black, blue or green.

The problem is that many people don't know what a joke is. This is no joke at all. It is an insult. A mockery of the state of an innocent little girl who happens to be a begged. The fact that it can even be funny to anyone should make any normal person sick to the stomach. Yet she was giggling away, having a nice time. Sad indeed. She should be ashamed of herself and her action.

Is It Just Me? I'm Not Attracted To Prostitutes

Guys, Living in Enugu and as a young man who is in active service, I do have my bit of adventures sometimes but I noticed I'm not attracted to professional sex workers.

So many times I had been in the midst of professional sex workers and today being bored I decided to visit one of the nearby hotel and chill out around the swimming pool.

I'm sited with my bottle of Heineken thinking about all the crazy stuff in the world and this particular lady got dancing the normal erotic dance towards my table.

She, wearing just a swimsuit that reveals all the contours; with her body dripping of water as she just came out of the pool, at the very closest range the usual evidence of the subjection of the female gender in liquid, the tip of her mammary gland otherwise known as niple had betrayed the partial enclosure of the massive heritage that lies in there, it was almost a center of attraction until I observed that her buttocks otherwise known as nyash by majority of nairalanders is way darker than the rest of her body.

Then I had to speak to the bottle of beer on my table then a sip and my senses was rebooted now, my observation. If it were a usual lady I would sure had fallen for her, also usual lady won't display her nyash unless she's cought up already in which moment I won't have the time to judge.

I'm not being so critical though, does it look like I'm not attracted to professionals or just the fact that they don't give me that curiosity that is common with regular women. Or is it the hot weather, apparently it is quite hot in Enugu now.

"Is It Just Me? I'm Not Attracted To Prostitutes".

Guy, you shouldn't be attracted to prostitutes. No body should. It is actually something to be ashamed of and for which real help and counseling be sought.

Why have anything to do with prostitutes? It only shows you lack self-control. If you need a company there are a thousand and one things to occupy your time. Read, explore other motivating hobbies, write, attend concerts, classes(anything can be learned online these days), engage in fruitful discussions with friends or acquaintances etc. But by all means don't be idle.

Whether you are attracted to prostitutes or not is not really the issue. The issue is what you allow yourself to gradually become by ceding character to such vices. Believe me, once the portal is opened and you enter even you can't tell where it will lead to.

BafanaBafana:
The proof that the massacre took place is that CNN reported it. Very funny I must say. Even the haters aka Trump lovers are now cheering CNN.
There was shooting at Lekki toll gate, no doubt about that, but the question is, who was killed?
There has never been a time in this country where people are killed by the government and no family or friends can come out to say they were killed. This is the defence they put up when we ask them to tell us who was killed. Curious individuals even contributed money as reward for anyone who can come up with at least a verifiable identity of someone killed, all we hear is that the government also wants to kill them.
Same people who were forcing the Buhari is dead and Buhari is a clone theory down our throats now wants is to believe that some unknown persons were massacred by the Nigerian government.

You see we've had these argument too many times. Sadly anybody that raises the point is vilified and castigated. But the issue is till there. Was it right for protesters to be shot at? No. Especially when they were unarmed.

But for heavens sake where is the massacre? People doesn't seems to know what a massacre is. Maybe they need to look it up in the dictionary. 70 people killed, 30 people dead, Lekki massacre, whatever happened to the bodies? Don't they have families that could come forward? Nigerians should be wiser than this. Don't let these media houses set your country on fire for nothing.

FanOfMyself:
The Martins of a guy is a Yoruba guy and he was caught by an Igbo man (Mr. Obinna), I'm sure the lady he wanted to take advantage of is an Igbo woman because Mr. Obinna said something that correlates this in the video. Yoruba guys please leave our women!!!!!! You guys hate and envy us and we still molest our girls because of the government positions you guys have in this country

Why not concentrate on the real issue here rather than condescending to trivialities. Everything isn't about tribalism or ethnicity. The man is trying to take advantage of a NIGERIAN, whether Efik or Ibibio it doesn't matter. He should be prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others. That's the point we should be making please.

derrick015:
Good morning.

Please I need suggestions.

What kind of prayers should I pray when the temptation arises, which Bible verse should I read?

Please know this is someone who's been addicted to porn for more than 7 years.

It is not about the kind of prayer you should pray or Bible verse to read. Scripture says walk in the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Walking in the Spirit does not mean floating in the air. It means be spirit guided.

When the Holy Spirit guides you he helps you. Realising there can't be vacuum, He helps you to by renewing your mind by the word. Read the word. It is alive, it delivers, it saves. From pornography, unforgiveness, drunkenness, malice and other unrighteous.

Also, you consciously have to stay away from anything that has any form or porn or sex in it. Videos, suggestive songs, photos etc. You can't want deliverance and be around any of those.

And listen, you can't have girl friend. I don't mean female friends. I mean anyone in particular that you call "my girl friend". Abstain from all appearance of evil. Don't tempt yourself.

Now, all I have told you may not happen in a day, but as you yield to the Lord your deliverance will be evident daily. Keep confessing your liberty through Christ's death for you. And stand on the truth that you have been been delivered by his blood.

NB. All these can only work if you have given your life to Christ. Liberty is only guaranteed for those in Christ not someone strolling by. Only as many as believe in him, (saved) are those given the power to be children of God. They are the only free people.

God's speed bro.

ladywealth:
Good evening my NL guys.

I just met a guy last month ending, we exchanged numbers and started chatting. He asked me out.. I really enjoyed chatting with him, just him alone. So few days after, he invited me to his house. I declined but I noticed that he stopped chatting with me.

Few days after, he asked about my genotype without even greeting me. I counter questioned him and he attacked me, claiming that he is not happy with me. I replied that 'I don't care'.
The next thing I received was rains of insults. Saying that I insulted him. I admitted and we settled it.

For the short times I've known him, I could see the kind of qualities I want in a man. But the problem he has and that he attested to is verbal abuse...

I noticed that anytime he invites me to his house and I declined, it always piss him off and he stops talking to me.
I decided not to visit him because it's not safe for me.

He argues over little things on chat, he talks to me like I'm a baby ( he is 33 and I'm 22). he is domineering... I'm just confused on the decision to date him considering all these flaws. I am suspicious of him being violent.
thanks

Let me advice you straight up. Don't start what you can't finish. You can see he is abusive now when you are just friends. If you date him and eventually marry that kind of guy, you will live in pains of abuse all your life. I can sew you are at least wise enough not to go to his house. If he rapes you or harms you the question people here would ask you is, what took you there in the first place?

You are still young and have your whole life ahead of you. You will still see a more reasonable, caring and loving guy in the future so relax. Don't mind those telling you to go ahead with that kind of relationship. They wouldn't do it themselves.

Buhari Must Speak To Us - Spoken

What are the new demands?
End SARS

This is how a just cause looses CREDIBILITY.....

Exactly my point. What did you ask for that government has not done or atleast initiated? When we overdo things we loose the essence altogether. Thinking we can go the Hongkong way by engaging in endless protests will only harm us and our economy.

Covid has dealt our economy a bad blow already and we must bleed what's left by further lacerating it. Block MM international airport, block the busiest route in the country ( Lagos-Ibadan express way), hold policemen hostage in their national head quarters, et al.

The wise knows when to fight and when to refrain.

Stevecreativex:
Well only a clown will predict PDP winning ONDO-STATE..

By the way we know the election is not free and fair like edo...

With the influence of Buhari & Co, Akeredolu have akeredulate the vote....

Personally, I don't think APC or Akeredolu needs to rig Ondo election to win it. I foresee an easy victory for APC there. Ondo is different form Edo. We all knew what happened to Obasaki and how he eventually became the PDP candidate in that election. Many of those that voted for him did so because they wanted him not just PDP. And all he needed was a platform to actualise his ambition. I dear say even some APC governors also wanted him to win under the PDP against their own party comrade.

Politics is what it is. Unique and peculiar in every way. I would be shocked if Akeredolu loses.

rentAcock:
My only gripe with this guy is the mere fact that he might be gay. I used to think his acting as the angry Black woman in his movie Madea was just comedy but when you hear him speak, you will notice his queer tendencies. Never seen or heard any news about his dating life either. Never seen a wife or girlfriend in his picture. I'm not a homophobic person or anything but I cannot celebrate his billionaire status. We need more Black people who are financially successful but also live an exemplary life our kids can look up to.

Why not google up Tyler Perry's wife? Its that easy to get information these days.

I am surprised too. Why a bus that has accident when there are beautiful pictures that could be used.

Train up a child in the way he/she should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.

The West and Europe always believe they know the best way to train and handle children, but they have unwittingly made gods out of them. You cannot beat them, you cannot raise your voice at them, you have to discuss with them and give reasons for whatever you are asking them to do. Sad. No wonder the children doesn't respect them when they grow up. And jejely pack them to old peoples home when they are old.

God bless Africa in this regard. When you are doing something and your mother or father starts looking at you in a weird way in Africa, you better stop it or better still, run away in a hurry. Or else...This video is nauseating. At what age?

I was travelling from Ilorin to Kano, but for whatever reason quite unlike me I suddenly became so pressed I felt if the driver doesn't pull over I would relieve myself right there in the car. I told the driver I needed 'help' but the stubborn man insisted on stopping at the garage where people eat.

Before that day I never knew I had that level of self control and patience. What didn't I do? I was praying, pep talking myself to be a man and not disgrace myself. As soon as the stubborn man stopped the car, to even walk over to the toilet became art because I could poo on myself if I walked too fast. And at the same time walking too slowly was also dangerous.

Anyway, that was how God saved me o. That day ehn, hmm.

You are going out with one but sexually atracted to another. Make up your mind you are not a kid. What do you want in a relationship? Why are you in one now? For friendship or for sex?

It is important you resolve these salient issues now because whichever way it goes there are consequences. If you marry someone you are not sexually attracted to, problem. And if you marry someone that the only real attraction is sex, problem still. Because believe me, there is more to marriage than sex.

So what do you want? If you want my opinion however I would tell you to give your virginity to the one you love after marriage. Any guy that truly loves you would wait till then.

He should go and sit down joh. As if he has never made spurious assertions and allegations and asked stupid questions too. FFK? Please.

That's good coming from the Governor. But she did the right whether she was rewarded or not it doesn't really matter. We should always do the right thing.

The warning is apt. I hope people would take caution. The grass is not always greener on the other side.

But I disagree with the statement suggesting that we at home are more at risk than people out there. It is not true. There is insecurity everywhere. People choose the one they can live with.
