You don't have a wife. What you have is someone using you to cash out. 700k is more than what some men give their wives for a whole year and yet you do that in just a month. Something isn't right.

Your wife may be building somewhere or saving up money to move without you soon. I don't blame her. You are comfortable that's why you can be so wasteful.

Going forward, do not give her anything monthly, rather, let her write down everything she thinks the expense of the month will be. Let her list them down together with thier prices before you give her any money.
Make a visual confirmation of any purchase once it is done.

You need to put your wife on a leash else she may be your ruin. That you can afford things easily now doesn't mean that will always be the case and then you will see the true color of this woman.

Wisdom.

What happens when you can't drop ₦700k for like 3-6 months?

House on fire!

But why are you guys worshipping a fellow mortal man like God? This is very strange in some cultures.

Do you actually understand the meaning of worship?

To honor and respect your king is not the same as to worship.

Yes, I'll still post it here for others to learn, so being my sister does not exonerate her from me posting about her ordeal, but however I can't allow my younger sister who is more morally trained to be this daft. she can't be too braindead to this level, this I can boast of.

the post was not to prove the genuine or ingenuity of my family either from whether maternal or paternal ancestry of the family is good or bad, it's for others to see and learn where necessary so as not to allow minor forgivable issues to cost them great feast in life or happiness.

it's for others too to air their opinions and views from there respective angle of views.

Why are you explaining yourself to a total stranger you're no sure have a family of his own?

Nothing surprising here

The way men disguise as women in that country is so alarming.

Their red district is filled with she-males.

I don't even want to talk about Nigerian politics. You'll support different people and they'll all turn out to be the same. The way Asiwaju has disappointed me ehn, I'll never convince people to vote again in Nigeria.

Before going to Eastern Europe, I hear talks of how it's among the poorest countries in the Europe. I visited many cities and villages in Serbia and Romania. My God, the difference in their villages and our best cities Ehn.

300b GDP vs 400b GDP
60k population vs 6m population
Economic disturbance in Europe vs Economic powerhouse in Africa

I'm sure the people of Ogun state will be relishing their electoral freedoms whenever they pass through these roads.

I weak my brother.

Mille:
I didn't even want to continue the discussion then.

I have seen many pictures of Pyongyang. They say the photos are propaganda and only meant to fool foreigners. How I wish we have our own propaganda city, apartment complexes, train station and good roads.

The west and our politicians know that the average Nigerian love to brag about emptiness, so they tag us with fake titles that an average Nigerian can't relate with

Common minimum wage, we are one of the worst in Africa.

You need to see how many messages I get on my phone of people begging to feed. I can't even post on my social media again without fear of attracting people in need.

you can own business in abuja and Lagos, you have assess to internet, without censorship, you have electoral freedoms in abuja there is freedom of mass media in abuja
Sadly you have access to non in Pyongyang.

do you know that the average north Korean is smaller and thinner than it's southern counterparts.

we have private business in abuja and Lagos,like dangote,Glo etc, tell us one private owned company in northern Korean.

every year 450 plus north Korea defects to the South of Korea, 0ver 800 risk thier lives crossing the most fortified and mined demilitarised zone DMZ in the world to get into south Korea.

while South Korea is an economic powerhouse in Asia , Nigeria is an economic powerhouse in Africa, north Korea is WHAT?.

have been to Lagos, and I can testify that Lagos is developed have you been to Pyongyang? All your agruement is base on a few selected propaganda pictures on the internet.

would live in Lagos and abuja all day than stay in Pyongyang.

One of your major problem is comprehension.
What do you understand by "in terms of infrastructure development"?

If a country under huge sanctions is still looking like this, imagine what they would have looked like without any sanction.

Nigeria is not under any sanction, yet we can't come close to N.K in terms of development.

We are this and that only on paper, yet common $2 a day is an issue.

Does all you listed about Nigeria reflect in the standard of living of the majority?

TechBaron:
The name "Benin" (and "Bini" is a Portuguese corruption, ultimately from the word "Ubini", which came into use during the reign of Oba (ruler) Ewuare, c. 1440. "Ubini", an Edo word meaning Livable, used by Pa Idu, the progenitor of the Edo people to describe the area found as a Livable Locale, during their sojourn from lower Egypt.

You're using Wikipedia to tell me my own history? .

Bini is actually used in a derogatory way to address the problem of the Benin Kingdom now known as Edo state.

The names given to Edo state by the sons of the soil is Benin kingdom, Igodomigodo, every other name out there were given by foreigners in a derogatory way including Bini, Ubini and whatever else.

I was surprised to find out that North Korea has the 4th largest submarine fleet. There's literally no pictures of the Navy on the internet.

Until last year when they published photos of their Destroyer ships and long range drones, i was beyond shocked.

They also possess some of the best hackers in the world.

You can't have all that if you're still stuck in the stone age like the west says they are.

Just imagine

They'll destroy Nigeria in a war (Though not possible due to geography for a war to happen in the first place).

TechBaron:
So the Yoruba/bini names there are IPOB.

What is Bini and where did you see a Benin name?

Don't mind them, they claim to be civilized but majority of them are just touts.

Once ransom has been paid, it's no longer a rescue mission.

The police and navy went to pick them up.

If you want to see what rescue actually mean when it comes to kidnapping, go and check how the Russians do it.

Just check the names of those abusing the oba, full of the wazobia that were used to fight the Benin kingdom by the Criminal Britain.

When you're better, they begin to hate.

It's not the fault of Edo State that we have a monarchy that's truly what a monarchy should be.

If the United Snakes of Amerika truly has Oil Reserves, she wouldn’t be stealing Crude Oil and Gold Bars from every Continent while killing their leaders.

Their so called oil reserves were mostly stolen from other countries like Libya and Iraq including gold.

Libya...

All those countries looking poor in Africa really have something beneath them..

Libya was never poor, it was the west that came to destory that country out of wickedness because Gaddafi suggested Africa should have one currency backed by gold.

De-dollarization of the world economy continues

"The financial world is bracing for a significant upheaval following Saudi Arabia's decision not to renew its 50-year petro-dollar deal with the United States, which expired on Sunday, 9 June, 2024."

The lapsed security agreement - signed by the United States and Saudi Arabia on 8 June 1974 - establishes two joint commissions, one on economic co-operation and the other on Saudi Arabia's military needs, and was said to have heralded an era of increasingly close co-operation between the two countries.

American officials at the time expressed optimism that the deal would motivate Saudi Arabia to ramp up its oil production. They also envisioned it as a blueprint for fostering economic collaboration between Washington and other Arab countries.

The crucial decision to not renew the contract enables Saudi Arabia to sell oil and other goods in multiple currencies, including the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan, instead of exclusively in US dollars. Additionally, the potential use of digital currencies like Bitcoin may also be considered.

This latest development signifies a major shift away from the petrodollar system established in 1972, when the US decoupled its currency from gold, and is anticipated to hasten the global shift away from the US dollar.

Cross-border CBDC transactions

In a more recent move, Saudi Arabia has announced its involvement in Project mBridge, a project which explores a multi-central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform shared among participating central banks and commercial banks. It is built on distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable instant cross-border payments settlements, and foreign-exchange transactions.

The project has more than 26 observing members including the South African Reserve Bank, which was greenlighted as a member this month.

The better known observing members of mBridge are those of the Bank of Israel, Bank of Namibia, Bank of France, Central Bank of Bahrain, Central Bank of Egypt, Central Bank of Jordan, European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Reserve Bank of Australia, and the World Bank.

In tandem, the project steering committee has created a bespoke governance and legal framework, including a rulebook, tailored to match the platform's unique decentralised nature.

Evolution of Project mBridge

Project mBridge is the result of extensive collaboration starting in 2021 between the BIS Innovation Hub, the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

In 2022, a pilot with real-value transactions was conducted. Since then, the mBridge project team has been exploring whether the prototype platform could evolve to become a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – a stage now reached.

As it enters the MVP stage, Project mBridge is now inviting private-sector firms to propose new solutions and use cases that could help develop the platform and showcase all its potential.

This is huge. The US-Saudi agreement was called JECOR. It was signed 8 June 1974 and had been renewed in 5-year increments — until now.

Even though the KSA has been accepting payment for oil in other currencies for years now but the value was still based on that currency’s conversion to the dollar. Now the value will be negotiated and set in that currency regardless of its fluctuations against the dollar

you children on geo political matter, be like una de feel say na cruise. You think brics is nig that have regional crises, gosh how will you even call soveriegn nations, region? So if nig for eg. joins with their corruption and bad quality in printing, should be given a quota? For nig, the amount that they will print won't even enter the global market because the official will bury it

Ok old man.

I no get time for ancient of days

Fair enough.

Fingers crossed. 🤞

The international politics of future is going be interesting.

Thanks for the enlightening exchange.

Yes o. Outside war, I am happy it's happening in my time.

You're welcome bro

dvkot:
Ok.. let's see how it goes maybe countries can start holding their foreign reserve in brics

I can't wait...

lanre316:
They've been planning this "new currency" for many years. If it's as straightforward as you implied, they would have done it long ago. But apparently they haven't.

I am trying to understand why they are finding it hard to agree on a common currency for global trades.



And what makes you think China especially will not start calling shots and dictating things to BRICS members? Give them enough time and ultimate power and you will see

Because BRICS is still young.

China won't, hence my previous suggestions

dvkot:
I think it's because of the economy, if you make it 100% gold then what will happen to the currency of the countries involved?
And also I don't think precious stones even diamond is valuable, I think it's just a sham by jewellers.

Gold, silver, platinum and the rest are trading on the floor of the financial markets. These 3 or just gold is okay by me.

As for countries with their own currencies, I heard they'd be allowed to trade with local currencies while countries outside BRICS must use BRICS currency to trade with Brics states.

seunny4lif:
Here is the highlight of the match

Agbabiaka ooo

dvkot:
I read somewhere they are talking about brics currency being back by 50% gold and the other 50% a basket of brics currency

Not bad at all but why not 100% gold or a mixed of some precious stones?

lanre316:
Not necessarily BTC, as I said.

BTC is just one amongst thousands of cryptocurrencies.

They could create a whole new cryptocurrency that fits the criteria of what they want in a currency ie complete control.

Or perhaps getting an alternative USD is something that's not meant to be.

Another thing BRICS should do when they end up with their own currency is to make sure that not one country is allowed to print the currency. Every region must have the ability to print part of the quotas needed per year.

Meaning if they must print 100 trillion BRICS currency and 10 regions make up the membership of BRICS, then they must print in 10 different regions but shared according to the population of each region.
