In lay man's terms, it means less borrowing for people like me because I can't come and borrow and be answering Stone Onigbese 🤕🥴😋😊.

It also doesn't mean more profit for the bank though. Financial experts are coming to explain more though.

This is my little understanding.
Thanks man for this explanation. Correct

Like that of Ukraine and western Europe, where you have increased cost of living and rising sadness?
Or how they managed Africa into wars immediately after the so-called flag independence , by setting ethnic groups against one another?

Or do you experience self hatred/ low self esteem?
The Universal God that created the African race can heal you.

Rishi Sunak is largely to blame for this, during the pandemic he wasted alot of money in the name of supporting businesses even when some of these businesses weren't in operation before the pandemic.

He will pay the price in general election

Instead of funding and wasting resources on the war happening in Ukraine, the UK government can channel that scarce resources in improving their home economy.

The US is suffering inflation, the UK economy is barely escaping recession, and the EU too is fighting inflation. Although, Russia who is fighting a direct war is suffering as well, it can't be compared to what the UK, US and EU that are fighting 'proxy' wars are suffering.

Russia have shocked their adversaries. The governance and policies of Vladimir Putin needs to be studied in institutions in the future. It would be a sparogatively veritable study for remaining solvent during war and hardship.
Russia has been used to suffering before the war! Ruble has been on the down side after Russia adopted Yuan.

You making it sound like Russia had anything going for them before the war. Suffering is a norm in Russia


Russia is just another Nigeria that happens to be in Europe. The nations wealth is controlled and embezzled by a few!

Russia is just a big empty country with over 50% of his land mass inhabitable. Outside nuclear war heads and vodka, nothing happens there!

Russia is not another Nigeria

Russia is far ahead of Nigeria.

Not yet been announced but the result of the last local election is a sign that people don't like him.
He probably has 2-3yrs left before the next election

If its regarding Russia then i got no prob with that. Without US, UK and some EU countries Russia will walk all over other countries without any care in the world.

But upon what the US, UK and the rest of the countries supporting Ukraine are going through in terms of inflation and all. Russia must not ultimately be in this war o , or else, it would be a disaster economically for them and the effect will be around for a long time to come

Doing nothing is worst, all the countries involved directly or indirectly are suffering the result of this needless war

Nigeria did not fold her arms and watch when war was going on in Liberia or South Africa.

Russia went to war in Syria and Afghanista and lives were lost

So people blaming US, UK and other EU countries are just ignorant or Russia paid propagandist

grin grin grin..

this UK people sef..

4.5%.. and una dey shout


what abt countries paying over 18-20% many years now...
It is not good for their economy.

Reason why western countries developed so fast is because of huge debts to the citizens and country.
You see people take car loans, house mortgages, student loans etc to survive and that is how their economy was planned to make money circulate within the economy.
If you take a £200k flat mortgage payable in 20 years at 1% interest rate, you will pay back £240k pounds after 20 years to have the apartment. That is 20k per year or £1,700 pounds per month.
If interest rate goes to 4.5%, it means a 200k flat will become 380k flat payment after 20 years and that is foocking huge to pay.
The chances of defaulting will be high.
So what happens?, People start avoiding loans and that terribly slows down the economy.
People will start avoiding buying a lot of things and many companies will collapse thereby creating more unemployment.
UK economy will become like 3rd world countries that are cash-based economy.
You will save for years to buy house, saving for years to buy second hand used cars because to be honest, only a fraction of people all over the world can afford brand new cars.
Most whites drive these cars on loans and that is about to be unaffordable.

Russia's economy is in top shape.

Its no wonder they could only celebrate their victory parade with one Armoured Tank
