Black market rate for Naira seems to be getting worse. What is the I&E price now? cc Shaytun, larride |

Ibime: I read the books too. The rule of thumb is that TV series are usually poor adaptations of the source material, with the odd exception here and there. That is why whenever i watch historical series i prepare myself beforehand, so that i won't spend the whole time criticizing. The advantage The Last Kingdom has over Vikings is that it tries to keep an accurate historical narrative. Vikings, for entertainment value, conflated different Viking stories from different locales and even different time periods into the same narrative. For instance how can Rollo who died around 930 be the uncle of Ivar the Boneless who died 60 years before around 870. Rollo in particular does not fit with the Ragnar story but there are other smaller discrepancies. |

Rome was the best of those historical series but they couldn’t get enough funding for it. A real shame. |

Ibime: Lmao. Why won't it get worse when the naira has refused to be freely floated. The things that led to worsening black market rates are still banned which makes no real sense. At the very least unban like 50% Another thing we have a bad culture is our regulators actually not doing their job |

Ibime: I have no idea but let me check CBN website, they usually publish it on their website. The market is yet to stabilize. I dont think the market has enough liquidity yet. That's why CBN is increasing withdrawal limits from dom account to $10k per day. With time the market will stabilize. 2 Likes |

afrodoc2: The lead actor in The Last Kingdom looks too soft, he is not as barbaric as the protagonist in the books and his accent as the narrator is off-putting. It would have been better without narration. Vikings series though not historically accurate was a good series until Ragnars sons came into play, then it all turned to nonsense. Thats when I stopped watching There is another Viking series on Netflix called Vikings Valhalla. The first season was fire, I'm yet to watch the second one. The best Vikings book for conversion to series will be the trilogy of books by Tim Severin. If that one is turned into series, it will melt faces. Tim Severins books had more entertainment/dramatic value than Bernard Cornwells. That story is like Vikings meets Passport of Mallam Ilya meets Count of Monte Cristo 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by afrodoc2: 7:24am On Jun 19, 2023 |
Ibime: Yeah. In terms of entertainment and overall Vikings was better than The Last Kingdom. i just didn't like the way Vikings tried to do a concoction of almost every single Viking story into the series, whether the locations or timelines gelled or not. You are also right about the casting. Funny thing the Uhtred actor is German which should make him more believable as a Viking while Ragnar was portrayed by an Aussie. I have not read Tim Severin's books. Yeah Bernard Cornwell writes his books almost as history not for pure entertainment. There are so many good source materials for epic series that could even rival GOT if done right. |

liveLongNprospa: Can you please explain that? |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by liveLongNprospa(m): 8:16am On Jun 19, 2023 |
monerozi5590: The 43 items banned by cbn led to people sourcing for fx for them outside the system which led to a massive gulf between the black market and official rates. Especially when you consider we already were barely getting enough fx to begin with. |

Good News; Nigerians may need to brace up for tougher times as electricity tariff is set to increase by over 40 percent in the coming days, a development which may eventually end all forms of energy subsidy in the country. https://twitter.com/GuardianNigeria/status/1670666313071484929?t=a-6LkvL1J0-B4MMojLEqQw&s=19 Another initiative the Gallon d'Or winner needs to support by paying 100% increment while we who "prays" it fails source for cheaper alternatives 4 Likes 2 Shares |

seankafor: Maybe because PDP is a sinking ship. With the way things are, it will take a minimum of 16 years before PDP can return to power at the national level. |

Electricity tariff Under GEJ, 1,000 naira = 64 units Under Buhari, 1,000 naira = 16 units Under BAT, (From July 1st), 1,000 naira = 10 units or less "This New Electricity Tariff will favour me and my Family in Jesus Name" 12 Likes 1 Share

liveLongNprospa: Import substitution is good for the economy and it's encourages local production. Our trade balance is in the negative already. We are capable and sufficient enough to produce those items locally. We all know floating the currency will depreciate the Naira against the dollar and that's that. Our foreign reserves cannot continue to back the Naira against the dollar no more. Net Trade Balance. We import more more more than we export, this alone weakens the Naira against the dollar. The goal should be having enough to export. 1 Like |

monerozi5590: So once again we didn't freely float the naira and as usual it's all controlled which isn't what we wanted ba? And to make it worse we still do not have the required fx as at today to meet the demand for fx with those cbn rates |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by liveLongNprospa(m): 9:36am On Jun 19, 2023 |
monerozi5590: But what are the incentives to produce locally? When last did local production meet demand? Even with buhari closing boarder. The gap still dey. |
Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by monerozi5590: 9:43am On Jun 19, 2023 |
liveLongNprospa: I think it meant if you want to import those ban items to the country, don't come to CBN to give you fx, because they won't. You have to source for your fx somewhere (black market/open market). I think all these is done to discourage them from importing those items. We must not import everything. We should be producing enough to be able to export sef. 1 Like |

Itsrm:Wike is a clown. The PDP is bigger than any single individual, the move to APC was the only logical thing for him after the level of betrayal and treachery he was involved in during the elections. Seyi Makinde should follow him out. PDP dropped the ball by not suspending the g5 clowns. 1 Like 1 Share |

Theflint1: Lol, suspend 5 sitting governors Maybe you think it's water that funds political parties When you suspend them what now happens when the election is over and funds dry off. Where will the money to fund the party come from? In states where PDP is not in power, who do you think funds the party there? Why do you think Labour Party only won one governorship election? You think PDP is like APC that's in power and have the national cake to share? Funny how you people think you know better than those who were most affected and yet could not suspend them 3 Likes |
