Out of curiousity, are you a Moslem?

This question is for what purpose?

To either discredit what he's saying be it true or not?

So the bible story too no enter your brain? Abi the picture came BEFORE CHRIST (BC)?

How will you feel if someone brings a Buddhist 'holy' book to justify why you're his slave and that he owns your land or a Muslim using Koran to claim you're his property?

Do you people ever think that the Bible is not a generally accepted book of history and that it was written by a set of people from a certain region according to their beliefs and understanding?

Using the Bible as evidence in the affairs of world politics is laughable. There are thousands of books out there that can also claim what you're using the Bible to claim.

Please be more logical in your argument next time.

The screenshot posted below is for some people thinking Arabs are a race.

The word "Arab" is like saying 'Niger Delta"

EleventhWeirdo:
What a dunce comment. Palestine was not a sovereign country then. It was a mandate passed on to the British to administer on behalf of the then League of Nations after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire. How would a colony of the then defunct Ottoman empire and then that of the British empire, have ambassadors, a practice which is a perogative of sovereign countries? Of course, if there was no airport, where would the British land to govern both the arab and Jewish inhabitants of the land?

Clowns everywhere

I knew it'll come to this.

Discussing with most people on NL is a waste of manpower time.

Jeez.

See what he's using as evidence.

Argue against that picture of Jews being welcomed to Palestine.

NairaLTQ:
Note:
As of 1948, the so-called Palestinians is a mixture of Jews and Arabs with no nation.
In 1948 the influx of the displaced Jews from especially Europe began to come back to the place now called Israel.
At a point All Ethnic Jews vacated the whole of Gaza and relocated westward leaving Gaza region to become 100% Arab occupied.

The three Arab-Isreal wars gave more land (of the old territory of Israel) back to the Jews. In each of these wars, the Arabs were the aggressors

With no nation yet they had government, Flag and everything?

Tell me another thing

Tealcrestmedia:
It's baffling how the Zionist idiots are trying to say Palestine wasn't a place before 1948 so therefore it belongs to them. It's one of the weirdest logic I have ever seen. People are coming from America and Europe to claim Palestinian lands just because they converted to Judaism a month ago.

Western media brainwashing caused it.

EleventhWeirdo:
When the Jews declared an independent state over some paltry lands in 1948, why didn't the Palestinians do same ? Why didn't they declare independence from the British mandate first and then contest or go to war later? In 1948, '67, '73, or 2002, Palestinians and extended Arabs have demonstrated that they are not interested in their own sovereign prosperity; annihilation of Israel is their priority instead. Not that Israel too is completely innocent, but I cannot give my sympathies to a group overwhelmed by existential hate for another

This one wan put mouth for wetin e no understand again.

The image below is of Jews being welcomed to Palestine.

BTW, the Palestinians had official seaport, flag, sport teams, government, airport, ambassadors etc prior to when the image below was taken

Nigeria has sharply devalued its currency for the second time in eight months, as the west African country bids to clear up its messy system of exchange rates and attract investment to its flailing economy.

The naira has tumbled this week after the methodology used to calculate the official exchange rate was changed, taking the currency closer to the black market rate.

The move is widely seen as part of market-friendly reforms being introduced by Bola Tinubu, who became president last May and who shortly afterwards jettisoned the years-long peg instituted by the former central bank chief that had kept the currency artificially high.

However, the country still kept an official rate that was well above the freely-traded rate, which made it more expensive for multinational companies wanting to invest in Nigeria.

Charlie Robertson, head of macro strategy at asset management firm FIM Partners, said the new methodology could help Nigeria attract more investment as it essentially abolishes the multiple exchange rates that frustrated investors.

“It could take months but there could be more dollars swirling around in Nigeria now that the currency is officially very cheap,” Robertson said.



FMDQ Group, which calculates the country’s official exchange rate, announced on Friday that it was revising its methodology to “address recent fluctuations and challenges encountered” in Nigeria’s highly volatile
foreign exchange market, where the official exchange rate often trailed parallel market values. The publication of exchange rates was suspended that day.

The revised exchange rate system, which FMDQ began publishing this week, will ensure that “rates accurately reflect market conditions while upholding price formation and transparency”, the firm said.

The currency fell by nearly 40 per cent to 1482.57 to the dollar on the official market on Tuesday and slipped as low as 1,531 on Wednesday, according to FMDQ. That took the naira past N1,475 to the dollar it is trading at on the black market, according to one trader.

Nigeria’s central bank on Monday took aim at authorised dealers and their customers, which it said were reporting “inaccurate and misleading information” on their transaction rates, leading to distortions in the official market.

“This behaviour is not compliant with the ethical standards associated with a sound financial market, and deliberate attempts to create price distortions by reporting false transaction details amounts to market manipulation which will not be tolerated and will henceforth face sanctions,” the bank said.

The naira has plumbed new depths since the peg was removed as a lack of foreign exchange liquidity stalled planned reforms.

The central bank owes about $5bn in mature forward contracts to different groups in the Nigerian economy that sold naira to the bank in exchange for dollars. FIM’s Robertson warned that this backlog would have to be resolved and short term interest rates needed to rise significantly to attract portfolio investors.

It is a slight improvement on the $7bn the bank owed at the start of the tenure of its new governor Olayemi Cardoso, a former Citigroup executive. The bank has pledged to settle the backlog “within a short time” and said it hopes to fix the “fundamental issues that have hindered the effective operation of the Nigerian foreign-exchange markets”.

But sources of dollar inflows into Nigeria remain hard to find. Investment into the country has fallen drastically and crude oil production, from which it earns roughly 90 per cent of its export income, is short of its 1.8mn barrels per day Opec quota. Central bank data shows it has $32.87bn in foreign exchange reserves, although almost $20bn of this was committed to paying off a series of derivatives deals.

Investors remain wary of bringing hard currency into the country as dollar shortages have made it difficult for businesses to repatriate revenues to their home countries.

Foreign airlines operating in Nigeria last month threatened to strike over their inability to get money out of the country. Dubai-based carrier Emirates suspended its flights to and from Nigeria in 2022 and has yet to return. Nigeria said this week it released $64.4mn of trapped airline funds but the International Air Transport Association said there was still $700mn left to be paid out.


Finance minister Wale Edun said in Davos last month that Nigeria is seeking about $1.5bn from the World Bank to ease liquidity concerns. Last year he said the country had a “line of sight” on $10bn in inflows in the country but that has yet to materialise. A scheme that saw the state oil company pledge oil in exchange for dollars from the African Export-Import Bank (Afrexim) netted Nigeria $3bn last month.

A senior western diplomat whose country has companies operating in Nigeria told the Financial Times that businesses remain unconvinced by the government’s announcements of potential dollar inflows to ease the pervasive hard currency shortages.

On a visit to Nigeria last week, US secretary of state Antony Blinken mentioned that the inability to repatriate capital was an “impediment” to American investors maximising opportunities in Nigeria.

Is this the new lie they could come up with?

superlanny:
Lol, this piece of crap for 2.1

I'll rather buy 2 Keke napep than waste money on this nonsense.

2 Keke with ₦2.1?

Fiyin007:
Safety first

There should be colleagues or people around where you stay that ply your route.

Are you not a man?

At least 2 known faces can be joining you.

I know of a woman doing this to Lekki daily

ravensckar:
My daily transport fare to & fro is around #1800 per day (with serious short distance trekking). I live in Sangotedo and work in Lekki.

Sometimes back, I decided to fuel my car and use it for the week. I spent an average of 30K on fuel that week.

Most times when my colleagues see me at work jumping KOROPE, they ask me about my car. If na you be me, shey you go still dey carry car come work?

Why not carry people going your way both ways?

IyaTola:
I fuel my car 52k a week , how much is my salary

₦52k a week?

How?

Gadafii:
I can’t lie for you, I don’t really fancy lekki like that, I would rather be in yaba or surulere instead of lekki, Infact Gbagada is the best place to be in Lagos

Centrally located, access to food markets, the lagoon, hospitals and hospitality, average night life, trench food remarkably cheap and accessible, house rent is spiking the last two years tho

But it’s nothing compared to lekki.

Rent in Gbagada madddd

Segun2222:
show us russia world war 2 losses

You no dey people wey I dey respond to.

No vex.

In a good mode today so let me answer you:

There was no Russia in WW2

Just watched Napoleon again.

O boy it's been a while the Russians have been known never to give up.

Napoleon fear these people eh.

Imagine burning down your city rather let the enemy have it.


Napoleon was commanding an army equal to what NATO is doing now.

Tiopii:
They tried beginning of the war, they were launching thousands of missiles into Ukraine, now it is barely in tens and once in a while close to hundreds. They don't have an infinite supply of missiles.

Now there are capable Air defense systems from the West too. Coupled with the sanctions, they have to wage war intelligently not to hasten the collapse of their economy.

Russia isn't just who we thought they are. We thought they would be comparable with the USSR, forgetting that even the USSR collapsed.

You lie to yourself always and it's evident.

You know what bombing to stone age means but your lying nature wouldn't agree to the truth.

My attention for you is exhausted. Back to ignore mode.

The president of France is not even in France right now. Can someone explain this strange behaviour from Nigeria's president?

He's a mule.

World powers don't want clean people in positions of authority in Africa because they find it difficult using clean leaders for their oppressive actions in Africa.

obi58:
Haba sir you are being economical with the truth or perhaps you live in an area of Lagos where anything goes and people have no taste. Otherwise it is normal even in old houses for landlords to renovate same and rent out to new tenants. This is why we even have caution fee in the first place.

We're going in circle.

Back to topic.

Residential areas should be residential

Commercial areas should be commercial.

EOD

obi58:
Bros be honest. You and I both know that building materials are used either in constructing new buildings or renovating older ones after old tenants vacate the property and before new tenants occupy same. Also as property values appreciate in neighbouring properties, landlords will increase their rent to reflect same as well as to reflect current economic realities.

Refer to what Neptu said.

This argument is not strong at all. If you have been long in this country, you wouldn't bring this up.

Take it from someone in the construction industry.

Most old houses hardly renovate or buy any major building materials. The argument is flawed

Throwback:
Tinubu made it clear that the dollar should trade for whatever value those who are demanding it are willing to pay for it.

The question then is why are Nigerians so concerned about the naira value of the dollar?

The exchange rate is not a value of our local economy.

We were never a bigger economy than the USA when our Naira traded higher to a dollar on the 1960s and 1970s.

The UK is not a bigger economy than the USA despite the exchange rate between the British Pound and the US Dollar.

The government should focus on our local economy and achieving local sustenance, and ignore the exchange rate speculators.

As long as the average Nigerian can get all their needs and have enough left for savings and investments for the future, the exchange rate would be nothing but a number, just as it was when we had a higher exchange rate but a poorer economy compared to the US economy.

Because people can no longer afford what they were able to afford less than a year ago.

Are you like this in real life?

A relative of mine got someone in Russia who's asking him to move to Russia when he told him about relocating permanently from Nigeria.

The person is also a Nigerian and said he should believe opposite of what he reads on western media.


But he said making payments outside is quite difficult except via digital currency

naptu2:
The rent hike started in the late 1990s and early 2000s when Mr Biggs, Zenith Bank and Redeemed Church were in a competition to grow branches. They began setting up branches in residential areas, sometimes 2 or 3 on a single street. Individuals couldn't compete with them.

Thank you.

This is what @obi53 is not seeing

Rent hike started because of churches, mosques and businesses using residential buildings for business.

RCCG is the oga when it comes to churches turning homes to worship centres, they use big money to lure landlords into giving them accommodation.

obi58:
Read the original quote. Building owners are expected to vacate such occupants within 30days or such structures would be removed at owners expense.

As per increase in rent, guy let's be honest. Our inflation is officially approaching 30% and you expect rent pricing not to go up? Whenever you are less busy, take a stroll into the building materials market in your area and spend 30 minutes there comparing prices of items there 6 months ago to today's prices. Then come back and let's have this convo.

Thank you.

They won't demolish anything, they just want to use that to make owners evict these set of entities from their buildings.

Remember Nigerians only know force. If it's to demolish, how many will they demolish?

As for hike in rent, did they just build most of the houses that you're asking me to go to the market to price building materials?

Are the houses buying building materials daily to demand hike in rent?

I can understand new houses, but the old ones.

Rent hike didn't start now, it started a while back, just that old houses with no modem facilities have now joined without shame.

Let churches, mosques, clubhouses and businesses go and rent mails meant for businesses or build their own in designated areas
