socialmediaman:
A wise man once said:

"You knew what was at stake, you said you could do it, and even went further to steal the mandate. So get the damn job done".

If Naira crashes to N490 = $1 where Tinubu met it, then crashes further from there, I'll commend the Tinubu government.

Anything more is Sycophancy

Olodo, Naira was being defended at that rate close to $20 billion yearly
So you want the trend to continue?

BREAKING: CBN stops use of foreign currencies as collateral for naira loan

The Central Bank of Nigeria has written to all banks in Nigeria to stop the use of foreign currencies as collateral for naira loans.

It disclosed this in a circular uploaded to its website on Monday.

The apex bank said it had observed the use of FCY by bank customers as collateral for naira loans and, therefore, prohibits it with immediate effect.

I want to ask a question. Is this road a brand new road with different direction from Lagos to Cross River, or they want to create a sort of fanfare and later use the same East West road linking Cross River, Akwa ibom, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and Edo States respectively?

Totally Brand New....this is along the coastal line

The naira has continued to appreciate as the US dollar is currently selling at N1,280 on the parallel market, following the recent foreign exchange (FX) policy measures of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

With the current rate, the Naira has gained 2.34 percent of its value against the dollar in less than one day, from N1,310 the closing rate for Wednesday.

I am pleased to announce that the Market Street Road project in Igbogbo has reached its completion, marking a significant milestone for our community.

One thing that is certain is that head or tail, Lagos is going to benefit massively from Tinubu’s government before he’s booted out in 2027.

This road in particular is very strategic and a good project.

When completed, it will massively reduce traffic on Lekki-Epe Expressway which will save travel time on the axis to a great length.

I can’t wait to drive through Ahmadu Bello Way to Orchid Road to Okun Ajah to Shoprite Road in Sangotedo and more.

Anybody who stays on the Island will be very happy about this project.

I just hate it that Umahi is working so hard to lower my hatred for Tinubu and his government with his many stellar performances🤦

With this road , President just helps Lagos State and Lagosians solved traffic problem on VI- Lekki - Epe Axis

Talk and do President with speed of light and using one stone to kill nine birds by connecting Lagos to Ogun to Ondo to Edo to Delta to Balyesa to Rivers to Akwa-Ibom to Cross Rivers,..

I joined other members of the @NGRSenate Committee on Works today to inspect the Coastal Roads from Lagos through Ogun and other states, to Calabar, an initiative of the @NGRPresident @officialABAT
. This initiative linking Nigerian towns and cities is a welcome development, especially good for business.

Lagos should replace it with new ones for only indigenes and people from Southwest. Others should meet their irresponsible billionaire governors borrowing #600 billions for 11 km of road

Anarchy Looms!! 🔥🔥🔥

6 members of the Enugu State House of Assembly elected on the platform of the (LP) have officially announced their defection to the ruling (PDP) in the State. The lawmakers announced their defection on the floor of the House during plenary on Thursday.

The defectors stated that their defection was as a result of the “existence of irreconcilable division, incessant crisis within the Labour Party at the national level and across all the state chapters.

BREAKING: The Central Bank of Nigeria issued a circular to Bureau de Change operators, indicating that they have provided each BDC with $10,000 at an exchange rate of N1,251 per US dollar.

In the circular, each Bureau de Change is instructed to offer dollars to qualified customers at a rate that does not surpass 1.5% above the buying price.
This indicates that Bureau de Change are advised not to sell above N1,269 for each $1.

“We refer to our letter to you referenced TED/DIR/CON/GOM/001/071 in respect of the above subject wherein the CB approved a second tranche of sale of FX to eligible BDCs.

“We write to inform you of the sale of $10,000 to each BDC at the rate of N1,251/$1. The BDCs are to sell to eligible end users at a spread of NOT MORE THAN 1.5 per cent above the purchase price.”

Remaining those miscreants on Nairaland

chicfarmer:
choi! Nice one.
I know say women go like this one

Yes now

Is this man serious.... hope he will not complain when the framework is out?

It is a rare spectacle in Bogota.

Three women in fluorescent exercise gear stop in their tracks and gawp in surprise. A young mother pushing her newborn in a buggy pulls out her phone and snaps a picture. An elderly man with a bushy mustache pauses to wipe his glasses.

What has grabbed their attention is the sight of a dozen men huddled next to a van in the bright morning sun attempting, with varying degrees of success, to put diapers onto baby dolls. Most are middle-aged adults, but there are a few retirees and one teenager giving it a try.

“That’s not bad for your first try,” says Omar Jimenez, a teacher and trained psychologist, as he inspects a doll presented to him by one of the men in training. “But you could have wrapped the diaper a bit tighter. And it’s a bit wonky. You don’t want the fluids getting out!”

The trainee, Sergio Rivera, nods with a tinge of disappointment. But much like the other men attending this pop-up session in southern Bogota, the 26-year-old is himself a work in progress.

“It’s like a breath of fresh air to learn this,” says Rivera, who has autism and is cared for by his mother. His parents divorced when he was still very young, leaving his mother to raise him and his older brother alone. “I was never taught how to do it as a boy.”

On this warm December day, the men have just 30-minute “taster” slots to learn the basics like using toys to play with children and how to braid the hair of a partner, but the session is part of the wider Escuela de Hombres al Cuidado program, or “care school for men.”

Since 2021, the radical, city-run project has been teaching men across Colombia’s sprawling capital how to be better husbands, fathers, brothers, sons, and any other societally-defined masculine role.

Bogota, Colombia —
It is a rare spectacle in Bogota.

Three women in fluorescent exercise gear stop in their tracks and gawp in surprise. A young mother pushing her newborn in a buggy pulls out her phone and snaps a picture. An elderly man with a bushy mustache pauses to wipe his glasses.

What has grabbed their attention is the sight of a dozen men huddled next to a van in the bright morning sun attempting, with varying degrees of success, to put diapers onto baby dolls. Most are middle-aged adults, but there are a few retirees and one teenager giving it a try.

The city’s authorities believe the initiative will go some way to tackling the country’s entrenched machismo culture, or male chauvinism, and by extension encourage men to contribute their fair share of caregiving and domestic work, which they say is at the root of much of the country’s gender inequality.

“My mother worked so hard bringing me up and providing for me,” says Rivera, who came across the event by chance walking along the street. “But it shouldn’t just be left for women to do. Us men have to play our part.”

Research by Bogota City Hall, shared exclusively with CNN, shows that the initiative may already be having some impact. A survey from late 2023 suggests more men and women in Bogota say that they distribute household work equally than in 2021. There have also been changes in beliefs around gender roles and masculinity, aided by men like Jimenez.

US warning to Americans about imminent attack in Moscow proves prophetic 2 weeks later
Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the US warnings just days before the attack

Two weeks before Friday’s attack on a large concert hall in Russia on the outskirts of Moscow that has left more than 130 dead, the U.S. embassy sent out a warning to Americans to "avoid large gatherings," including concerts, because of "imminent plans" for an attack by "extremists."

The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours," stated the March 7 alert.

The Islamic State group (ISIS) claimed responsibility for Friday’s attack, which the U.S. has confirmed, despite Russian officials trying to point blame at Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed the U.S. warnings as "blackmail" just days before the attack.

Just three days before the attack, Putin said, "All this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilize our society," calling the warnings "provocative," according to Russian news agency TASS.

The State Department confirmed to Fox News that U.S. intelligence had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow, which prompted the agency to issue a public advisory to U.S. citizens in Russia.

The U.S. government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding "duty to warn" policy.

On Saturday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken put out a statement saying, "The United States strongly condemns (Friday's) deadly terrorist attack in Moscow. We send our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed and all affected by this heinous crime. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and stand in solidarity with the people of Russia in grieving the loss of life from this horrific event."
