The wickedness this Christians from the south are making should never go unpunished... You broke in to someone house kill him and get away. Do you own his life. God will handle the case if not here, then hereafter.

OP as a believer there is nothing wrong with eating it! The bible says that we can eat even those things offered to idols but we should give thanks to almighty God for it. However this is for a grounded believer who lives by faith and not fear.

A young believer with doubts shouldnt do so and also a mature believer should not eat it in the presence of an immature believer who still believes that its not right to eat it.....this is for the sake of his faith.

Every food or animal comes from God so be they from Native doctors, juju worshippers, muslims etc feel free to eat if you are spiritually matured to do so. Afterall how would they accept you or your message when you reject their hospitality?

God bless you.

Mine is the complete opposite. The first impression people have of being from a wealthy background. Dem no know say shishi no gum me.

Even when I try to point out my #1,000 darling yaki hair and fairly used shoes/clothes, they go "yea right, you're just trying to be humble".

So here I am, enjoying my virtual wealth.

FynBabe:
Why exactly did she return to Abuja so quick?
According to custom and tradition, she should still remain in the village for at least 14 days.
Could it be because of her children's school?

Honestly, I am confused.
All those village elders ehn, God dey sha.
It is well o!

NOETHNICITY:
When I was young I was told soooo many demeaning stories about northerners! I ignorantly despised them, even their beggars I used to send them away saying IBB and Abacha re their brothers!
I was told northerner are dull pple with no intellectual inclinations. However, my one youth service experience in the east with many corpers frm the north changed my mentality. I realised I had been very myopic over the years.
I currently live in yoruba land (with due respect to yorubas) and I ve seen a couple of phd holders who can't communicate proficiently in English language. But this doesn't mean yorubas re dull pple. It ll interest u to know that the north produced pple like Jega and sooooo many others we do not know about.
Let us drop all these unnecessary campaign of hate. I'm tired of hearing such craps.

adams009:
May be you are dreaming or living in your village & talking about what you don't.
My problem with people like is you don't go out or you have never travelled outside you region and you are here typing trash on what you don't know.
Please move out & see northerners doing great in both private and public sectors.
Or may be you victim of the media that feed you only with what happening in the south.

NOETHNICITY:
I see the hypocritical bigots, as usual, already shamelessly masturbating, groaning and crying like little children all over the thread.
While they re never condemned for their own bigotry and ethnic discrimination rampant in their own lands they delightfully enjoy to concoct and highlight non-existing stories, in a desperate bid to paint northerners for what they re not.
My sisters husband who is a southern non Muslim working in that very university has never had any reason to complain of any discrimination.
I served as a youth corper in the eastern part of the country and was a regular at their universities and not for once did I ever come across a northerner who holding any key position in any of those universities. As a SS all tru my days in the university I never came across a lectural frm northern extraction let alone one holding any key positions.
Our southern institutions re dominated by our own pple and evrbdy seems satisfied with this tradition.
Why all these unnecessary campaign of hate against the north?
Why do we seem sooooo desperate to stoke and incite hate agAinst the north?
The other day it was CAN crying over John Kerry's visit to the sultan.
Yesterday it was FFK wailing over Mark Zukerberg's attempt to simply patronise the north, a practice common amongst foreign notables.
When re we gonna stop all this unnecessary attempt to create war amongst ourselves?
Well, I know fools, as usual, will easily buy into this and further worsen the state of their already pained souls.
We shud stop using our own hands to deaden our souls.

The news of President Muhammadu Buhari seeking emergency powers to reflate the economy went gaga on the social media, yesterday.

The emergency powers, according to President Buhari and his economic team will only last for one year.

According to the plan, the government is expected to send an Executive Bill to the National Assembly for Executive orders to tackle the economic crisis.

The objectives of the action-plan on the economy, which is in recession, include
shoring up the value of the naira, creation of more jobs, boosting of foreign reserves, reviving the manufacturing sector and improving power.

Here are 7 things Nigerians need to know about the president’s request for emergency powers to stimulate the economy – by seeking to by-pass major extant laws that may stand in as bottlenecks.

1. More Funds for State Governments
The bill seeks to amend certain laws, such as the Universal Basic Education (UBE) Act 2004.

The UBE Act states in section 11, sub-section 2, that “for any State to qualify for the federal government block grant pursuant to sub-section (1) of this section, such State shall contribute not less than 50% of the total cost of projects as its commitment in the execution of the project”.
osinbajo-buhari 75b

With most states cash-strapped, the bill seeks to overrule this section, and allow states access about N58 billion “stuck” in UBEC’s coffers.

If the bill sails through, interested states would have N58 billion to spend through this economic crisis.

Analysts believed the proposal to review the UBEC Laws will surely help to unlock the liquidity, which the associated spending will provide.

2. Boosting Foreign Reserves
Nigeria’s foreign exchange reserves fell to an 11-year low on August 19, 2016, standing at $25.7billion.

With such depleting reserves, following a plunge in crude oil prices, the government is seeking to get emergency powers to sell and/or lease government property to raise $50 billion to shove the reserves.

3. End to Forex Crisis – Strengthening of Nation’s Currency
With reserves in good shape, it would become immediately easier for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to defend the naira, and shore up its value in the face of dwindling oil prices.

A vote for this bill by the national assembly, should lead to a stronger naira against the dollar, an end to forex scarcity, and some stimulation in the Nigerian economy.

4. Job Opportunities
According to the Nigerian Bureau of Statistics report for the past three quarters, at least 1.5 million Nigerians have become unemployed.

The president and his team promised employment, and had not effectively delivered on that.

However, with the new bill, funds will be allotted for many capital projects, which will in turn generate employment.

With states having access to the UBE fund as stated in the bill, the school feeding programme of this administration may kick off and create employment in Nigeria’s vibrant informal sector.

5. Reducing Bureaucracy
The Nigerian procurement act has been reported time and again as cumbersome, stalling the speed of implementation of government projects.

This bill seeks to also “support stimulus spending on critical sectors of the economy; make orders to favour local contractors/suppliers in contract awards”.

6. Flexible Visa Process
Nigeria is desperate for foreign investment; foreign portfolio investment had declined by 86 percent in the past year, while foreign direct investment had plummeted by over 50 percent.

Osinbajo, who confirmed this at a presidential policy dialogue in Lagos, said the government was working on policies aimed at reducing fiscal and forex imbalances, boosting dollar liquidity, lending to the real sector, and increasing “FDIs and FPI by sustaining enabling policies”.

The bill, according to reports, seeks “to embark on radical reforms in visa issuance at Nigeria’s consular offices and on arrival in the country”.

This visa process, similar to that of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Ghana’s newly-adopted system, is to

Some of the dolts commenting have no idea what "force majeure" means or its impact on oil production.

a South African Rand to a dollar is 14rands

A naira to a rand is 23naira

However, a naira to a dollar is above 300..


Did you knw why a Rand to a naira is low? because we dnt demand for it!

Did u knw why a Rand to a dollar is low? because they dnt demand for it that much...


What sane country spends dollar as if it's her currency?

The problem of this country is not buhari, my friend... And as intelligent as u sound, u shld realise that the only mistake he made, which I do not support is to remove all benefits once ...

He shld av done it one after the other..

We seriously needed someone like OBJ who wld damn all consequences. OBJ tried to revive outlr manufacturing sector that was killed by IBB thru import and subsidies, but he did it small small and not like buhari is doing it..

I can't argue more... But biliv me, even SA is currently in recession.. Venezuela, Angola, Saudi Arabia, uk etc are all suffering.. Ask those who are there to yell u the truth..

NameChecker:
If a ban is placed on importation, Foreign investors will be forced to invest in Nigeria. They will begin to manufacture their initially imported product in Nigeria. Just as Nokia, Samsung and Nissan are currently doing.

NameChecker:
The disadvantages of import:
1.Foreign goods are substituting the domestic goods' markets，so the domestic industries (Innoson & Co) are eliminated.
2.Trade deficit will cause the currency devaluation, inflation (Nigeria's Current Problem).
3.The importing of important industries will lose the influence by importing country.

If you still don't understand that the increment is a deliberate measure to discourage importation,
then you know nothing, I repeat, nothing.
