I believe that of Linda Ikeji. Her wealth is suspicious

Of course.
Probably because you're too dumb to understand what she does and how she earns money.

Correction sir.

Kanu was not extradited.
He was kidnapped and illegally renditioned.

Guru1111:

Good..

It's time to flex some muscle now

If the same FG can't release Abba Kyari whose integrity is questionable to the FBI for interrogation,I don't see any reason why Nnamdi Kanu should be in detention for only wanting the best for his people

I'm not igbo,but let's call a spade a spade...

Mark my word...

Time to flex muscle to whom and on whom ? The innocent Igbo people?
This is stupidity.

The FG Labeled Ipob a terrorist organization, and is holding MNK as a terrorist.
And now , Ipob wants to desperately live up to that Label?
That is very very stuupid.

Kaiser20:
Stupid people if you like lock it down till June 2023 naa your people go surfer.
They have ESN to fight fulani herdsman in the forest , they never did, only to start killing SE citizens and destroy their properties.
The more they continue their rascality the more years for Nnamdi Kanu in DSS detention.

I agree with you 100%.

For once, I'm beginning to see the leadership of IPOB as a bunch of really stuuuuupid people.

As legal and diplomatic efforts are in high gear to try to free MNK, these mor.ons at IPOB are making a stronger case for the continued detention of MNK by the FG.
I guess common sense is not so common after all.

Is IPOB freedom fighting organization or an army of occupation in Igboland?
They seem to be losing or have completely lost focus.
When a Resistance movement begin to self-inflict injuries upon themselves and the people whom they claim to be fighting for, it is usually a sure sign that they are directionless, losing relevance and would soon suffer relegation to the dustbin of history.

IPOB should stop all these motorpark tout attitudes.
IPOB needs to refocus, rebrand, restrategize to stay relevant in the noble pursuit of fairness , equality, justice and the right of self determination.

Need I say it again?

Religion is a scam,..the longest running scam in the history of humanity.

I for argue with you, but judging by ur write up you are an amature in this field.

Currency value has nothing big to do with you mentioned in raeality.

Point of correction, Nigeria is a productive economy. We grow almost 95% of the food we consume and still manufacture many things. We have lots of manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

Nigerian economy is not as bad as you think/claim, Nigeria is not the head quarter of poverty,etc. All those claims are all rubbish.

Some countries in the Arab world and Europe manufacture less than Nigeria yet their currency value is higher than Nigeria.

As an amuture in the field of finance and economics, I guess you are not aware every country has the right to peg the value of their currency.

Let me school you a little bit.

There is class room economics and there is reality economics.

We are talking about reality economics.

The value of Nigerian Naira is higher than the Korean won, tell me why? Is Nigeria productive than Korea?

Once agian welcome to reality economics.

And I forgot to add that foreign curry and Gold reserves are also important ways to bolster and stabilize the value of a currency, even for non- export countries.
Saudi Arabia, which you also mentioned as an import dependent country, has multiple times GDP per capita than Nigeria. They reserve a substantial part of their oil earnings and enormous Gold reserves permanently domiciled in USD. They invest heavily in diversified areas in and outside their country.
So, despite being an import dependent country, they have more than enough foreign earnings, reserves and investments to buffer their currency. Not comparable to Nigeria at all.

Laughing out loud.

I will award you an F.

Pegging of currencies has zero to do with making a currency strong. Rather, it has to do with increasing exports.
Countries that Peg their currencies to stronger currencies usually do it for solely to maintain stability Rather than strength. They do it to prevent their own currencies from increasing in strength against a major export market Countries.
The Countries that usually peg their currencies are usually high productivity Countries with low-cost production. They Pegging their currencies at a set low rate solely for purpose of maintaining their export advantage. Korea is such an example.

Now, you mention that Naira is more than the Korea currencies, as an example of your economic illiteracy.
Ok, since Naira is stronger than Korean currency, in your words, can 1 Naira and 1 Korean Won buy equivalent items, such as , say, a loaf of bread in Korea and in Nigeria ?

The value of a currency is not about the numerical figure. It is also the value of your productive value as well as it's purchasing capacity.

LikeAking:
Thank you very much.

Currency value has nothing to do with dependence on imported goods.

Although manufacturing goods in Nigeria will be of a great advantage.

These whites have been fooling us for a long time.

There are countries even importing sand, some dont manufacture as much as NiGEIRA, yet their currency has a higher value.

Nigerian currency is loosing is value becos our leaders are not smart enough to fix a permanent currency values like some countries in the Arab world.

Pure Nonsense.

Currency values, just like everything in a market place are determined by the forces of demand and supply. At the micro-level , is a measure of the aggregate productive capacity or productive value of a country as compared to other countries. Currency value invariably reflect the economic productivity at any given time.
In well organized economies, yes, the government can manipulate its Currency by adjusting the factors that affect productivity, such as interest rates, money supply, etc, or by adopting an optimistic or pessimistic economic tones gong forward.

Nigeria is neither an organized nor productive economy. Besides oil, we produce very little of anything of value to trade with. With very low per capita productivity, and a non- diversified economy, the value of our currency is solely dependent on the vagaries of the crude oil market. With a large growing population of consumers, our appetite for imported goods, and increasing lack of confidence for new investments create a permanent imbalance in the demand and supply of foreign currencies. Therefore, our currency, over the long run, would always trend downwards. The market forces are too strong for any government to control.

cescky:
Falling off etc terms i used were only figures of speech..

I don't dispute what you're saying.. My point is the fact that all these things and mans dna are intiligently and beautifully arranged, is a pointer to the fact that there exists, a knowing/alive or conscious being that has set this up

First of all, I don't know what you mean by man's DNA are beautifully arranged.
Every living thing have DNA that evolved (arranged in your words) for optimal form and function, even the viruses whose DNA are "beautifully arranged" to kill you.

As for the so-called conscious being that set this whole universe, well, where is he/it now ?
If there is one conscious being, there is no reason why there shouldn't be 2, 3, 4 , communities or even planets or universes of such conscious beings. And now we have to begin to wonder who created all these super conscious beings. Who created the creator.
Infinite regression sets in.

Now, if as I suspect, you're going to say that the conscious being self-created or evolve on its own, then my answer is that if the super conscious being evolved on its own without a creator, then there is also no reason why the universe could not have evolved on its own without a super conscious being.

God is an abstract notion. It's a contradiction in terms.

cescky:
You wish to sound smart.. But came out dumb

We live in galaxy with 7 or 9 planets.. What happens on other planets we haveno idea..

We live on earth wich is "floating" in space and non is falling off... All these are well known facts.. If you can't explain the reasons for the above and much more, its fooolish not to believe the Bibles stories.

No dear.
We don't live in a Galaxy with 7 or 9 planets.
We live in a solar system with 1 Star(our Sun) , and 9 identifiable planets. Our solar system lies in the far edges of the Milky Way Galaxy, which has about 100 billion Stars.

And secondly, the Earth is not floating in Space, it simply occupies space, just like the moon, the Sun and the other 100 billion Stars in our Galaxy System.
And No, the Earth has no place to fall off to. Without gravity, there is no up or down, therefore no issue of falling off anything.

David Oyedepo, foremost of Nigerian Pulpit Pimps and conmen.

I have seen zero facts in the article to that substantiate any connection with Bible. I didn't see any carbon dating evidence or mention that pinpoints the age of the so-called wall to any specific reign.
Rather, it just says 'the era of the kings of Judah'.
That says nothing.

Not surprised, though.
Biblical archeology is usually all smoke and no substance.
It follows the same pattern with all things faith.

The Israel archeological and artifacts institute has as their primary mission, the desperate search for an ancient C of O, to legitimize their claim of land.

Every once in a while, they make claims of significant archeological discoveries. By the time you take a good objective analysis of such discovery, it usually turns out empty of empirical proof.
Dispite all the noise and linguistic sophistry, Till date, there has been Zero historical or Archeological evidence ( that meets the standards of scientific/history investigations) to show that the fabled king Solomon , David and a kingdom of Israel existed as portrayed in the Bible. In fact , the more they have dug over the decades and centuries, the more ancient Canaanite structures and artifacts they come across in their searches. It like the Biblical kingdom of Israel just vanished into thin air.

Kingdoms, even thousands of years after their fall, leave much evidence and remnants behind. Statues, earthenware, coins, ruins of temples, artworks, gold, silver, iron or bronze ornaments depicting and can be accurately dated and linked to their culture, religions and philosophy.

From a historical and archeological point of view, this lack of evidence, structures or artifacts for what was supposed to have been bona-fide kingdom about 3000yrs ago is baffling, and can only lead to one empirical conclusion: The kingdom, like most things in the Bible, are simply embellished myths.

I guess it makes sense that Faith, by definition, is believing and accepting without evidence.
Therefore, with Biblical archeology , No evidence is required.

143WaZoBia:
Two words.
Myopic
Mediocrity.
One thing I hated hush puppy for is having made all those monies his family are still in poverty and I personally know his people not as friends but as neighbors.
If you see hush mama house (though it’s not wretched but we read online that he made about 160m in scam) you wil know that he should have done better.
Look at that mega church oyedepo is building 160m church building in the midst of poverty.
It was easy to remove sanusi with such claim that he drove around in rolce Royce in the midst of poverty, easily also people throw shades at Dino. You can begin to tell me their deferences to me it doesn’t make any difference.
The likes of bill gates have pledged their fortune but they are not eating everything while they are alive like we would. The problem is Africa is poor we should be helping one another not balling on one another.
Ok after the obi mama burial people were pictured fighting over left overs.
Ok. Imagine what investing some money in that community will do to his pride as human?
Sadio mane built a nice hospital in his home town heaven did not fall. Matter of fact we praised him for doing it.
You people should stop this biased and sentimental thinking that’s drawn on ethnic lines. After all these Africa pictured from satellite is still dark at night.
Me am not about Obi or tribe or anything.
I’m saying why do we have all these hotels and bars and what’s what in Africa amidst our poverty? Why does Redeem have that big land for church when we need to farm. But you will say government. How much is Nigeria making from the oil sef? Are we in the top 15 oil producing country? I don’t know. Maybe we are or not but the country is really poor forget your leaders inability to improvise.

Most of the people spraying money in that burial have someone that needs money real bad but since theirs no camera to show it when they give out the money they will rather take it to where people will know they spent money.
Many of Obi friends are yahoo boys. No doubt. Yoruba, Igbo and other tribes but they are all useless because their people are poor and they are burning money.

Don't mind those mor.ons.

I laugh when they use the word " wealth " to describe such primitive and vulgar display of extravagance.
We Africans, unfortunately, still have not come to understand the distinction between raw cash and wealth. We stupidly conflate these get-rich quick phenomena, often nurtured by crime or corruption, with wealth.
That accounts for why we so much disrespect out currency(the store of our productive value) .

The sum of our value systems, the continued validation and reinforcement of primitive sub-cultures can be strongly corollated to our perennial inability to build and maintain the basic attributes of a progressive nation.

What goes around, comes around.
When you deliberately taunt the countless armies of poor, jobless people with a vulgar display of extravagance, sooner or later they would unleash their angst.
We all ultimately suffer the blowbacks for such obscenities .

Lol.

BeardedMeat:
The north has the Southerners amongst them to thank the little civilization there even if it's still inadequate. He agreed they developed the north by building industries, thereby leading to employment and education.

Don't mind that pitiful fool.
If southerners were to ever depart Northern Nigeria, the Lebanese would be selling left slipper to them for N500 and the right slipper for N5000.
Northern Nigeria has land and huge agriculture potential. That they are lazy, unproductive and unimaginative is a known fact.
With all their agricultural resources, Northern Nigeria is still the most wretched place on planet Earth.
That's why they leech on the natural and human resources of the south.

Rossinkipp:
I just a read a highly revealing scholarly article on the causes of the herdsmen crisis in Nigeria.

The main reason given of course was climate change causing accelerated desertification of the Sahara, and forcing herdsmen ever southwards for greener pastures to graze their cattle.

The 2ND reason given was the heightened migration of 'southern Nigerians' up to the north, causing pressure on land resources and land availability, and forcing herdsmen to migrate southwards.

These ''southern Nigerians'' buy up hectares of land and build houses and estates aplenty, plus numerous business premises, factories etc.

Now of course we know who these ''southern Nigerians'' are, even if the author was far too polite to mention their ethnicity outright.

Perhaps it's time to implore those ''southern Nigerians'' to head back home and free up the land for its original inhabitants, to help ease the herdsman crisis?

This is yet the stupidest thing you have posted on NL.

Funny enough, I feel nothing but pity for you.

It takes a lot of emptiness for an educated person to force himself to spew crap upon crap on NL for a measly monthly stipend.

Obviously, Nigeria stifles and chokes ambition. But you can do better with your life. You already know that.

Emancipate yourself brother.

Nothing showcases the Unbelievable STUPIDITY of the African people than their irrational extravagance for funerals.

Paying more attention to death , rather than life , Highlights where the African mind is permanently stationed in the human evolutionary trek.

phorget:
Why all these nah?
Who's talking about polygamy or monogamy here? We are only discussing how best a man can enjoy his home in peace. The moment you settle for one woman then the least headache you'll get.
We are condemning side chicks in totality as keeping such would always cause more harm than good. I didn't say that a man should not have a fling if he chooses but the fact that a man should have a permanent mistress is evil since they would always cost you your peace.
If you want a fling then pay as you go would keep you away from most evils that a permanent sidechick will cause you. Hit and run is your best bet bro.

Good points though.

phorget:
Side chick... The worst evil a man can ever bring upon himself.
As a man do not keep a side chick as that will ultimately ruin your family but if at all you feel you want to migrimo then hit and run should be your best option.

All this holier than thou nonsense is nauseating.

Nigerians are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

Extramarital sex is almost a norm in every corner of the world, despite all the pretensions.

Accept it or not , the human male species is biologically evolved to be polygamous in nature.
Society, or should I say judeo-christian culture, forces the males to pretend monogamy. Monogamy is a choice.
Polygamy is the default natural biological/ neurological setting for human males.
All men are polygamous by nature, no matter how much he tries or PRETENDS to be otherwise. Whenever the opportunity presents itself, nearly all healthy males will jump at the opportunity for a polygamous relationship or encounter.
Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world for a good reason.
Infact, there are data and data that show that plurality of sexual affairs is physiologically and mentally healthy for the average male.

The male libido cannot be easily constrained.

centoke30:
What's really the essence for all these extravagant lifestyles

Don't the stuupid people.
I still think that such unnecessary extravagance is a form of inferiority complex.
One or two cows would have done as much honor.
Or even, a long lasting memento to the bereaved family.

Only vultures would invest in a dying Quarry.

KEVIND:
Popular social media influencer and radio broadcaster Daddy Freeze has reacted to the absenteeism of top Nigerian Pastors at the funeral ceremony of late T. B. Joshua, who was the senior pastor and the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN).

Recall that the televangelist who passed away on 6th June was finally laid to rest on Friday 9th at his church in Ikotun Egbe, Lagos.

At the laying to rest of the late clergyman, many dignitaries, home and abroad were seen present at the funeral ceremony to pay their last respect to the one many referred to as a great philanthropist and kind-hearted man of God.

Daddy Freeze, who, like some other Nigerians on social media noticed the absence of some top pastors or founders, expressed his disappointment in the development, as he believes that the single display of such action at that moment showed there's lack of true love among some Christians.

Talking of how the relationship of Christians nowadays, should be among themselves, Daddy Freeze, who also said he was disappointed at how pastors could not even commensurate with the family of the late T. B Joshua said that as true Christians, every church should have at least sent a delegate to the funeral service, even if they wouldn't be attending.

Church is a business,..a very lucrative, but extremely competitive business.
Like every other business owners, Churchprenuers are not expected to show sympathy at the demise of their competition.

Yes it true that we always claim that family is everything, they will never desert you bla bla bla....but my main question is, is your family always right in taking your top ranking position of importance..?

Many atimes we have heard of family members betrayals just like friends do. We have heard of family abandonment of a sibling, we have seen a lot if times how elder siblibgs jettision youger ones and face thier own life...

My girlfriend is an orphan with four other siblings. Who grew apart in other relatives houses. Everyone is now adult..she cant seem to get over her emotional connections to her siblings, always claming they com first even before her lover or eventual hubby or even the children she will birth...

Looking at the family, I don't even see what is so special a sacrifice they have done for themselves. Example her eldest bro who earns over 600k monthly gave her a paltry 15k for a trip to sokoto for her NYSC. A place she has never been to..this includes t/fare, feeding etc. Her siblings would never feel like being around each other except it calls for a serious Holiday like xmas...there are many more I can't list here.

Wtf! My family have much more sacrifices for each other yet we understood the roles new person entering the family through love have in each and everybody's lives....

People are so two faced in this country claiming family family but dont really care..for the ladies that wil crop up on this thread..first ask yourself how many times have your brother bought you exmas gift or burthday gift before you open ur lieing mouth

Mind you this is not to underscore, the relevance of family bond, but everyone that affects your life should be rightly placed where they importantly belong.

I think you're an insecure man for expecting your girlfriend, not a wife you have married, detach herself from her family just to please you.
And how dare you try to paint her family members in unpleasant colors.
What about yours ?
You're probably more envious that she has a closely knit family than you have.

Buullshit.

One Nigeria, from being a Dream to a horrible Nightmare.

" There is no basis for a United Nigeria ".

These are not my words.

Ahmadu Bello first said it.
Then Awolowo said it again.
Then while he was still head of state, Gowon repeated it.

If these men saw then that there were NO basis for a United Nigeria during Nigeria's infancy, then the basis for unity in today's tumultuous and deeply polarized Nigeria is even more illusionary and delusional than in the 1960s.

nairavsdollars:
With its huge resources, why can't Lagos State have a functional airline like Akwa-Ibom airline, Ibom Air?

Despite all the noise and fanfare, Akwa Ibom State will NEVER be able to run a profitable airline. The airline industry is the most complex , capital intensive industry there. Governments running airlines is a thing of he distant past. No same government in the world would burden itself with running an airline. We have very short memories in Nigeria and beholden to Shiny objects.
The government of Akwa Ibom is very far from delivering on its mandate of delivering social services for the welfare of its people. Nigerian local, state and federal government are very poor on delivering the basic needs of the population, and development of human capital, let alone running a complex and capital intensive business. It is a lack of imagination that would lead a government of a poor state( by every standard of life index ) to embark on grandiose schemes and businesses just to appear to be doing something.

If AirFrance, KLM, Swiss Air, Alitalia, Sabena, all national carriers of rich and advanced countries, are struggling and some bankrupt and liquidated, it is unrealistic to expect Ibom Air, owned and operated by a state that solely depends on monthly hangouts from the federal purse, to be profitable and survive beyond 5yrs.

Akwa Ibom Air is a colossal waste of state resources, and I can predict, with mathematical precision, that it would collapse in maximum 5 yrs, and saddle the state with billions and billions of domestic and foreign debt.
