mariahAngel: I know that in these perilous times, it might be difficult to consider any food "overhyped". I mean, Nigerians eat anything these days, but then, take yourself back to when there was abundance. Oya, what was that food that you were like what was the fuss about after finally eating it?
RenaissanceGuy: Good. There was no sense selling it in dollars in Nigeria in the first place. So, when is it going back to around ₦6000 for 12kg cylinder??
Emedu: We are simply moving from a fixed (pegged) exchange rate to a managed floating exchange rate regime. Change like this often comes along with the high upward volatility we experienced some weeks ago.
With the aggressive efforts of the CBN, I strongly believe we are in the stage of stability; once that is obtained, we can then talk about appreciation of naira to fair value
Good days ahead.
Good days are ahead but we still have to deal with the structural problems. We are an import dependent country and our most valuable export is oil. We are even way below the OPEC quota. We Then there's the issue of oil theft we have to deal with. There's also the issue of maximizing the gains from oil derivatives, diversification of the economy so we can become less oil dependent. These are the issues we have to deal with before we heave any sigh of relief...
successmatters: Nigeria doesn't have any spiritual problems whatsoever. Rather, evil human beings keep getting the support of other evil human beings to loot the country dry and suffer the people, driving them to your religious houses.
Why are there no spiritual problems in the UK US, China, etc?
We do. The politicians BELIEVE that stealing and pillaging the resources of the country is good. It's a belief system that must be crushed to a major extent by physical effort. Not just by praying. That is what western nations get that Nigerians don't.
God1000: Alamieyeseigha once disguised as a woman to escape from UK.
I'm more concerned about what netanyahu said yesterday that Israel will not leave Gaza after the war.
More land-grabbing under whatever guise is completely unacceptable, Israel should withdraw its troops immediately after the war and allow Palestinians to return to their land.
I salute South Africans for their bluntness and for being the only country in Africa that isn't afraid of Israel, we have more sane people in that country
Sane people in a country that is slaughtering their women as if it's a sport. SA should face what is facing them. They have energy to call Israel out but can't seem to deal with their domestic issues...
He might win some more grand slams but 5? Highly doubt that. Novak will be 37 in May. As fit as he is,age will start to catch up sometime. With the likes of Zverev,Sinner, Medvedev,Hurkacz,Alcaraz and co around,it will be very difficult. We still have Berettini who has been having injury issues. It will be very difficult for Novak to just keep on going with quality young players popping up.
Electric cabs when residents still struggle with power supply. Clowns. We still manage to generate 5000MW and some people are talking about EVs. This one na another format to chop money. . Why not deal with the issue of generation and then we can talk about EVs. EVs are not for us now. Let's tackle the issue now hight cost of pms and availability, let's increase our generating capacity. We can't be generating 5000MW and be talking about EVs. Doesn't make sense...
You will continue courting 'FOREIGN INVESTMENT' as if it is a good thing. You will not ask yourself what is good about it. Ok it 'creates jobs', but the minute one kpim happens, they pack up and leave. Imagine creating useless jobs that disappear when the economy is bad. Mind you, when the economy is bad is when you need jobs. So now you have a situation where when an economic problem is supposed to be a 2, it immediately becomes a 10 because you're depending on people who are ready to run when any sign of stress appears.
Please. Let them leave, and let us stop trying to pretend that 'multinationals' are worthwhile assets to ANY economy.
What is bad about foreign investment? Do you want foreign firms to stay and lose money because they love Nigeria? Businesses are meant to make profit and are not set up for show or sentimental reasons. Many countries grow their economy through their ingenious efforts and foreign investments. You're saying "let them leave",the same reason why they can't be profitable is the same reason why a Nigerian business will also fail. Poor infrastructure,poor macroeconomic policies and you want them to stay because of "love"? Even Dangote,Elumelu will not keep quiet if his firms start taking hits and running at a loss. Business is business o. Profit is the main motivation.
Princewill1: From Music to Language, South Korea has been doing everything to Westernize. The want to be like the West, they idolize Western culture while the Westerns don't give a damn about them.
Rather they fear and respect North Koreans who stay true to themselves.
Westerners don't give a damn about them? USA and the ROK have had strong bilateral relations since the 1950s. The US maintains a strong military presence in the Korean peninsula. Trade and investment between both countries amount to the tune of trillions of dollars. USA and Europe are one of KIA's biggest markets. And you say the West doesn't give a damn about them? Dey play...
Imho, dealing with vandals shouldn't really be a problem. The govt has the might and right to enforce their laws. Just deploy armed security personnel and give them a shoot on sight order. When you shoot like 10 people,sense will start returning small small...
Hope the university is not running on generators. Hope they at least have constant power supply. Because it will be a clown show if they are talking about manufacturing EVs when they can't even ensure constant power supply in their uni...
kpukpuyenke: I think this tweet is mocking the crew members
It's actually mocking the policy of having an all female crew. A crew should be chosen based on competence and not sex. Once sex or gender become a major criteria,then competence becomes secondary which is not good for any organisation, especially the military.
SmartyPants: Be fair to the man. For all his faults which are glaring he definitely did a few things well.
And he destroyed many things. Handling boko haram with kid gloves, economic policies they made the value of the naira to plummet and a rise in inflation. The cases Emefiele is presently answering for is as as result of implementing Buhari's policies. Some parts of the North are paying taxes to terrorists today because of Buhari. Many farmers can't go to farm in the north because of the last admin's failure in ensuring security in the country.
Story! Bank error in your favour doesn't mean you can spend the money. You don't have the right to spend the money. It has legal backing and you can't claim ignorance and spend it. The banks have the right to correct their error and get back their money. You only have the right to spend it in a monopoly game,not in real life.
It is better to be a coward and stay alive than to die trying to be a hero. Violence won't take you anywhere. Learn to be at peace with everyone even if you are right or wrong. No need to drag with anyone.
It's not even cowardice to stay away from someone who is armed. It's wisdom. Unless you're armed and you're ready to use your weapon. You and the armed individual are unmatched and there can only be one likely outcome... You getting shot. One can only approach an armed individual if he himself is armed, gun out,loaded and aimed to shoot or if you have John Wick's suit on or you're the flash or superman. If you don't have any of the above,just mind your business,duck and call the police jejely...
