Value of 17 million naira today (what it can buy) hasn't dropped to the value of 1 million naira as at May 2023 (what 1m could buy then). May be 4 million naira of today is equivalent to 1 million naira back in May 2023

You didn't read the part about the figures are forged and the losers are excluded

Put the asking price

I think every man needs a little bit of red pill to have a fairly level playing field. Otherwise your woman will quickly be the leader while you are the ceremonial head

MaxInDHouse:
I can manage you as a NEIGHBOR but as a BROTHER? NO! NO!! NO!!!

Cool! Just acknowledge it is based neither on Bible nor dictionary definitions.

Mine, you are my brother as a fellow human being, and also potentially my neighbor, based on Bible and dictionary definitions.

Cheerio!

MaxInDHouse:
Anyhow you want it the fact remains that my neighbor could be my brother if he becomes my fellow believer but you can never ever be my brother if you and i aren't related either by blood, business or faith you will remain my neighbor!

You can say anything you wish, you can even add that your non-JW roommate is also your brother, just acknowledge that it is based on nothing. Likewise neighbor, you can say a Martian is equally your neighbor, just acknowledge it's no where in the Bible.

You get it now my image-of-God brother?

Thanks for chatting with me!

Dollars? What about Pound, Euro and other currencies?

Dollar is the standard, the reserve currency of the world. But Naira was devalued against ALL currencies

motymop:
What price did you buy it?

If you buy it at a lower price, you are still in profit even if it falls

but of you buy at the top, obviously, you will be at loss if price falls

shares are not meant to hold for long, you buy at the low and sell at high for profit, repeat the process, that is how people make money.. you also have to calculate fees too

Plus capital gains tax, net investment tax, state and local taxes

abc115:
No... don't invest, keep your money in your pocket. Devalued against what?

Devalued against the dollar. Dollar was 300 plus, now it is 1600 plus. Besides, more people lost money in the stock market. This is like talking only about people who won lottery but not people who lost

We lost him in year 2006 after a prolonged illness. Just recently, I stumbled upon some of his notes and other materials and took this one and others to my archives.

Eyaah, he was only in his 40's

MaxInDHouse:
All the above yet i'm closer to my fellow believer (brother) who share the same faith with me in Christ. Matthew 12:46-50

Do you get it now?

Exactly!
Sums up JW and their GB - talking from both sides of the mouth!
You are both:
"Anyone who is not a JW can't be my brother" (which is how GB really wants it)
And
"My non-JW colleagues at work and my non-JW relatives are my brothers"

DevLaive:
I stumbled upon my late Uncle's University of Calabar second semester past questions in the Department of Educational Foundations and Administration. That's over 37 years ago.

What's your take? Are the standards still the same today?

What happened to your uncle?

Meanwhile China will have 3 African students in the whole uni

THIEF!

franchasng:
Definitely Tinubu represent poverty, hardship, failure, corruption and nepotism, he must go, there is no two ways about it.


Tinubu is too much a corrupt man to lead Nigeria to communal progress

Tinubu is terrible BUT he is better than all of them, especially Atiku with 5 wives and corruption stories all over his past. Read what OBJ said about him

But Naira got devalued at that point na.
How about all the investors that lost money and companies that folded and left Nigeria or went out of biz?
Besides, these numbers are fudged. See below

Elose11:
Lies from the pit of hell. My shares in Transcorp was worth N14,5m in April 2023. Its at N10.75m today. A huge decrease. so how can one invest 1m in the same Transcorp and expect to get N13.5m today?

motymop:
These returns are lies. They are built on perception rather than truth.

The problem with this data is that they didn't say the price, they bought and sold.

They presented the data as if stocks is like a money doubling scheme where as there are other companies that did very poorly

My mind is made up. Igbo or not, when I get married I'm naming my daughter Mmesoma!

Ok, I'm on board

So??
...it's our common wealth......everybody benefits from backing the the naira Everytime u purchase goods

...... now only the three arms of govt is embezzling everything.... There is no benefit to Nigerians

Very good point!
The best, if not the only way, to somewhat fairly distribute owe common wealth is to somewhat defend the Naira

MaxInDHouse:
That has been my stand from the start of this thread!

He's become totally confused!😅

Oga, which of the following is your stand (written by you word for word)

Anyone who is not a JW can't be my real brother because the ties between us is not founded on faith in Christ!

OR

But a brother is someone with whom you share something in common which will make the both of you feel attached to one another.
My colleague at work is my brother in business.
My relative is my brother because we are from the same background.
My fellow believer is my brother because we both share the same line of thought.

MaxInDHouse:
You've been childish with the discussion so to make it clear to you i said it's more reasonable to consider a workmate or blood relation as my brother due to the things we both share but under no circumstances will i ever accept someone with whom i share nothing as my brother.

Do you understand now?

😅 Bound to happen! He has become confused.
Here's what you wrote two minutes ago, word for word;
Anyone who is not a JW can't be my real brother because the ties between us is not founded on faith in Christ!

MaxInDHouse:
Your PERSONAL opinion!

Neighbor means everyone who live with you the same time so you may choose to love or hate but God commanded His own worshipers to love their neighbours!

Not my personal opinion at all. Below is where they are from word for word.
Yours is ONLY from JW GB, no place else!😆

DICTIONARY (word for word)
a person living near or next door to the speaker or person referred to.
"our garden was the envy of the neighbors"
verb
(of a place or thing) be situated next to or very near (another).
"the square neighbors the old quarter of the town"

Bible (word for word)
Luke 10:
36 “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
37 The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”

MaxInDHouse:
You want me to be silent for you when you spilled

It seems to be holding. Here's second part


BROTHER
This one is even more asinine. So your blood brother and business brother are suddenly no longer your brother as you have been saying all through the thread!😆. Just read the screenshots below. Who do you think Paul was calling "brothers and fathers" when he rose to defend himself? Who do you think Luke was calling Jewish brothers. These were people who interacted with Jesus directly, but your GB knows better than them!
Also, it is obvious Christ many times used brother to mean humanity not just his followers. Hence most things he said you should.do about your brother also applies to your Neighbor, and even enemy. Once again, this is just one of the tools JW GB is using to make it almost impossible for you to leave their cult!

MaxInDHouse:
You want me to be silent for you when you spilled nonsense about my beliefs shey?
Ọmọ this is what you said earlier:


So you're now ashamed that you've been talking nonsense but expect me to be silent so you can claim victory shey?
Never!
Brood of vipers means they are children of the serpent (Satan) who rebelled against God so they are not his brothers in any way but since they were born and bred in Israel they are his neighbors!

God says we should love our neighbors which means someone may hate his neighbors it doesn't mean only those who loves are neighbors rather a neighbor may choose to love or hate you based on his background but God is telling His own worshipers to love their neighbors!

Here's what I posted that bot deleted again. Let me now break it in two, see if any luck that way

With all due respect, this discussion is becoming too childish for me and I'll have to end it.
Frankly, this is one of the DUMBEST posts I've ever seen on Nairaland.
Where do I even start. Just study the screenshots below. I can't waste too much on some nonsensical reasoning.

NEIGHBOR
First of all it is clearly stated in the dictionary definition (read it again above) that neighbor is about PHYSICAL closeness, not global village. Secondly, are you saying that everyone was NOT neighbor when Christ gave the parable because there was no global village but have now suddenly become neighbors? Stupidity, we'er talking what Christ meant. If you concede Christ never meant everyone was neighbor because there was no global village back then, then what is the discussion about?? Bottom line: Your enemy or oppressor living far away is NOT your neighbor under any of the definitions, though you should also love him as yourself!

MaxInDHouse:
Story for the gods!
Go and correct Jesus who called himself "Son of God" but Pharisees who are also Jews born of Jacob like Jesus' mother he calls "Satan's children"

God's word says
"love your neighbor as yourself" Leviticus 19:18; Mark 12:31
So whether you love or hate everyone is automatically your neighbor!

You really ought give this up. You're becoming more and more childish as we progress.
He also called them "brood of vipers", so also did JohnTB, does that make them literally brood of vipers??
Here's the Leviticus 19:18 that you quoted:
New International Version
18 “‘Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord.

How does this translate to "everyone is your neighbor"??!

MaxInDHouse:
Quote the Bible verse where it's stated that all humans are brothers at least Jesus called Pharisees sons of Satan {John 8:45} and called himself Son of God {John 3:16} so let me have where it's stated in the Bible that all humans are brothers!

Genesis 1-3 The creation story. Establishes Adam and Eve as the first human beings, from whom all subsequent humans are descended.
This shared ancestry implies a familial connection between all humans, making them, in a broad sense, brothers.

Now over to you, explain to us under WHOSE definition someone living in Russia plotting to kill you is your neighbor

MaxInDHouse:
Better!
Because there is nothing you can say to convince me that people killing people are brothers and since the world is now a global village we are all neighbors!

Right. What a ridiculous discussion. Arguing the obvious. I'll let others talk to you below

zelnababa:
oga 100 percent true

Black were superior to whites in every way for 99% of human existence on earth. At a point there were no whites at all - everyone came from Africa

MaxInDHouse:
Ọmọ the world has become a global village where i chat and discuss with people living in different continents so it doesn't matter where they live as long as they are alive at the same time with me they are all NEIGHBORS!

Ok, so where is this your definition of neighbor from? In the dictionary it is based on closeness (see below). In the good Samaritan parable if you see someone in dire need and don't help them YOU ARE NOT THEIR NEIGHBOR. So kindly tell us where your definition is from.

My (JW) brother will never ever think of killing me because both of us share the same line of thought but Russians are killing Ukrainians and vise versa because they are not Jehovah's Witnesses! wink

Yeah, but your child-molester JW brother can molest your children, right? And your non-JW blood brother can kill you, right? Genius!
