Very possible
Not possible. The physics is fantasy. And anyway we are all aware of what causes earthquakes which is tectonic movements along geo fault lines caused by the rotation of the solid iron core of the earth.

Nwoke- I don’t get my information from CNN like you - i read to you facts

if Reagan was that evil and bad , how come he won a landslide re-election and his VP George Bush succeeded him after his 8 years of Presidency riding on Reagan’s popularity?
Because the oily middle east happened, America's scuffles of hegemony and the rise of islamic fundamentalism, particularly speaking about the ascension of the theocracy in Iran.

It is a long story that started with the 1973 Israeli war and ended with the topling of Sadaam Hussein in 91. Carter was a victim of this decades long melodrama.

Food › Re: Expensive Jollof Rice & Chicken I Just Bought (pics) by Reference(m): 6:24pm On Feb 18, 2023
destiny4luv:
Good day Nairalanders, so this morning I woke up very early to see a friend in order to conclude a deal with him. I was at his place before 6am and we spent over 2hours before concluding our deal. As I was driving back home I noticed I was hungry and the only thing that was on my mind to eat was jollof rice and chicken 🐔 🍗.

I called my wife and asked her how long will it take to prepare the jollof rice and chicken, she said at least three hours that she need to go get chicken that none is left in the refrigerator. I told her I can't wait that I have to branch an eatery, but she still got to prepare it, because it's my favourite food she said ok. She said I should just take bread and tea when I return why she make preparation for the meal that's what she and the kids took this morning. I said no, she knows I don't like taking bread and tea, I can't even remember the last time I took such. She said no wahala.

I branch one of the eateries and ordered for jollof rice and chicken the girl served it and I noticed it was small so I asked her to add to it she said that will be two portion I said no problem. I collected coke and water and asked how much she said 5k 5hundred. I was surprised, it's been a little bit long I ate at any eatery because 95% of food I eat (especially when in town) is from home, my wife is very good at cooking so it does not really make me fancy eating outside. A portion of rice #1500 (×2) chicken #2000, water and coke #500. Naija which way how the average man on the street go take survive nah?

Sorry for the long write up on top jollof rice and chicken matter grin. How is the eateries in ur location is it this expensive?
But you are the type that will justify government incessant borrowing saying other countries do same without relating the borrowings to inflation and inflation to the cost of your beloved jollof rice.l simply because such borrowings have not spurred any sort of real productivity.

And economics 101 says productivity is what keeps inflation in check.

Nigerians, citizens of this country and the famous common man, over time and because of gross suffering will learn the ropes of national development, the do's and don'ts of how nations are built and run successfully, and most importantly who they will vote to lead them in taking qualitative but critical decisions that affect all.

Right now the people suffer due to wide spread ignorance. They cannot understand why they are in dire straits, cannot relate their electoral choices to their democratic experiences.

Super goal that reminds one of Kanu. All these Hollywood, work the ball into the net philosophy is easily readable and is not a lasting strategy to winning things.

Napoli remains the gold standard for free flowing, effective soccer this season.

Indeed. They did not buy well.
But the immediate problems is that too many players are not near their abilities lately. Martinelli, Odegaard, Xhaka and even lazy Nketiah.

Seemed they believed their own hype and have gone to sleep.

See what happens when the gunners have the courage to shoot on goal. The lack of shots has dented this team's chances of a title so far and they had better put that right.

And I think it is time Zinchenko is dropped to the bench. He is not fundamentally better than Kieran Tierney.

Politics › Re: South-West PDP Backs Atiku After G-5 Defiance by Reference(m):
Wipper7000:
But we can see what Lagos state did and what they are doing with Loan. But Delta state collected loan without anything to show for it. Even the 13% Buhari gave to each of the oil producing state which WIKE is using to build project in PH was also given to DELTA, What did OKOWO do with it? Nothing. Just be financing pdp rallies. You people should be fair sometimes.
There nothing wrong in taking loans but what did you do with loans matters.
In western world every one is indebted to a financial services one way or the other. That is how they measure how responsible you are in credit.
Na so. So with all the loans taken by Lagos, by Nigeria why are you poorer today than you were in 2015 in real terms with the average PPP sunk like a stone.

Before this government embarked on its reckless misadventure which you support, a month and a half salary of the basic worker could fly him from Lagos to his capital in Abuja. Today it will take him 4 months to save for such a trip.

If you want to judge an action you must personalize it. That is what democracy is for, not for candy stories and worn propaganda.

The reality are the statistics which is clear for everyone to see. Nigeria is economically worse today than it was 8 years ago despite your model and theory of economics.

The problem with your age long borrowing propaganda is that you conveniently ignore one FACT. Borrowing in developed economies is always on the basis of productivity. There they borrow to enhance, to speed up, to oil the process (in lay men's term).

Here we borrow to cover for what we should be working out. We borrow to pay another person to do what we should be doing for ourselves and that is why all our borrowing worsens our situation.

It was the influence of APC west and the propaganda around their borrowing culture that caused this federal government of Mr. Buhari to completely abandon productivity in favour of cheap loans such that Nigeria no longer cared about the oil sector leaving it to pirates, no longer cared about agriculture and mining, leaving the countryside to bandits and no longer cared about creative and intellectual property by ignoring higher education with long unresolved trade union disputes leading to the greatest migration of skilled labour in this country's history....

All because it is easy to borrow to cover up. Well the chickens have returned at sunset...

This Policy only make life difficult for the Masses.

The only to way to stop politicians spending money on election is to make it a law.
There are enough laws to make Nigeria as clean as Switzerland but the people, the citizens do not insist that these laws are obeyed.

As a matter of fact, the citizens empower those who break them with reckless abandon time and again.

Arteta's team is no longer playing the kind of game that put them on top. The wingers are no longer driving in and shooting on goal, Odegaard is a shadow of his former himself and the club did not buy well in the winter market.

What the team certainly lacks and what most pundits have complained several times over is the dearth of a top striker.
If teams such as Tottenham with quality forwards such as Kane could still be struggling I just do not know how Arteta could envisage winning the league relying on Nketiah alone. And it showed yesterday that the l;ad is just not up to it.

Since the time Pep Guardiola came to the shores of England, to win the Premiership clubs need 'complete' teams with quality spares in all departments. Arsenal remains a work in progress.

Same ol, same ol Arsenal. The same thing we say week in week out. They cannot shoot on goal to save their lives.

It appears all they do in training is run around cones and play on the merry-go-round.

If you don't buy the ticket you cannot win the lottery. If you cannot shoot on goal how exactly do you want to score.

This team is filled with too many similar players, too many common ingredients. They need a proper striker to make a meal.

SmartPolician:
How can inflation be increasing when the demands for most things (commodities) have dropped significantly? People prioritize what they spend cash on.

By the way, it seems the wailers and the hailers have switched places because the supposed wailers are now the hailers, while the former hailers are now screaming to high heavens grin
That is the beginning of stagflation, the more evil brother of inflation and only known in the far, far East.... Japan to be precise. It's grip is absolute.

babaolofin:
They don't have. Naira redesigning and cash swap is not to print the same amount of new notes to replace retrieved notes but encourage cashless transaction to remove pressure on liquid cash. They later decided to print more. It can never work.
They will NEVER reprint the 3 trillion that is held in pits, under beds and in shipping containers.
They will probably max out at one trillion and that's it.
Government lacks the institutional capacity to bring the weight of the law on money launderers, so they want to use the people's push back to squeeze the cash out of the holes where it has been hidden.
That has been the strategy from the get go.

We spoke about the dangers of the 'black economy' since the PDP days, how individuals through the proceeds of crime were getting richer than the State and destabilizing the few, weak and ineffectual institutions we have.
It is like this government finally woke up to the threat.
I have no complaints about the Naira swap policy.

If you know anyone hoarding cash, just report to the authorities and after a while all this will be history.
We are the cause of our problems.
We don't resist criminality.

It is a struggle of values. That is what society is all about.

She is a representative so she may be reflecting the values of her constituents. But is she reflecting their needs?

She is also a law maker and is there to 'bargain on behalf of her people's. As such you should appear 'serious' to be taken seriously.

You certainly do not want your attorney inappropriately before the courts. It won't help your case.

The bottom line as you allude to is, the woes plaguing the people requires the kind of attention she is generating for herself alone. How has she served her people by this.
