Always remember this, science will not validate anything that lacks scientific evidence, including your beloved 'faith', supreme being, theory of creation as against evolution, and many more out there that just can't be proved SCIENTIFICALLY, my favourite is clairvoyance which I had a number of personal experience with, unfortunately (perhaps for good reason) science won't recognise it, which means tales of voodoo bulletproof that abound may be true, I've met police officers who share their experiences with such. So who knows, there might be some element of truth in this 'magun' thing.

holamiday:
Please i need someone to explain the principle behind this thing. I do not believe in charms or magic. I believe in Science and of course faith.

I'm sure this magun of a thing has an indepth explanation embedded in simple human physiology. It's so mind-boggling.
CareerRe: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by sam90s(m): 12:36am On Feb 21, 2016
I swear whalahi I disagree grin
Appreciation can be expressed by putting in your best effort into the job, thanking him/her for the pay? Nah! It is directly linked to the job done, don't break that link, remember, if you're not happy with him or otherwise, you can't stop work and expect pay neither can he withold your pay if he's not happy with YOU, he can sack you not withold your pay.

CareerRe: Is It Right To Say Thank You To Your Boss When Collecting Your Salary? by sam90s(m): 12:28am On Feb 21, 2016
You can show gratitude for the trust he had in employing you, not the pay, cos you earned the pay.

For the first time I see you're getting it.
BusinessRe: Ibadan Firm Exported Nine Billion Dollars Industrial Starch. by sam90s(m): 6:24pm On Feb 20, 2016
omonnakoda:
I agree the figure is too large. One does not however make the right point with the wrong argument or obtuse logic.


PROFITABILITY is irrelevant I stand by that . The subject under discussion is the contribution of Foreign Exchange so you need to take your own advice and grasp the context.
A product could contribute foreign exchange to the nation while the parent business is running at a loss!!!

The real issue is the REVENUE and that $9 billion claim is bogus. I suspect it was an error either in reporting or a misspeak . Either way it has nothing to do with profitability

That word profitability has absolutely NO PLACE in the discussion which is about foreign exchange

SCENARIO

REVENUE $1000 for kolanut sold in US = 200000 NGN
EXPENSES 1million NGN

Profit =(800000) i.e a LOSS
under present rules the $1000 is brought back and sold to CBN/official buyer

The business has made a loss but the country has earned $1000 FOREX

What does the profitability have to do with national Forex revenue figures
Erm.....Mr, I made the statement and I believe I earned the right to say what context my statement is aimed, since it seems we're dealing with scenario now, here's mine:
Mr A: Do you smoke weed?
Mr B: No I don't, but I do Meth
And you being Mr A went ballistic, because you asked Mr B about Cannabis which is a depressant drug but he's here telling you he's into Methamphetamine which is a stimulant drug, of course the question of who is right or wrong depends on where both of them are coming from,
Weed and Meth are adictive and both vices if you we go by an average public opinion, but you Mr A see a technical difference in them, and believe Mr B must die for mentioning a stimulant when a depressant is being discussed, guess what? You don't even get to be Mr A cos you literally nose-dived into the discussion, but you're excused, just show some manners/restraints next time ok?
The original post/comment (like me) was sceptical about the figure cos it appears too high in absolute term, that settled, haven noticed other commenters disagree because no company can be MAKING such amount of money, (Making in 9ja speak suggest profit), then i added MY observation to the first reasonable comment on the thread as an afterthought, now if you decide I can't add an afterthought to a comment I made, goodluck.

First to comment since I joined Nairaland in 2014. So it's this easy!
Nothing special sha,but Amaechi is a huge joke. He should give his 250,000 jobs to be created to his children and generations yet unborn.

Pls wait.....
I watched with disgust on NTA this week how our so called Hon minister of works, Mr Fashola commissioned an old locomotive which was taking its first run from Kaduna to Abuja and which I believe had since in the early 80s been dumped by developed countries.
Is Nigeria that poor or our leaders are shortsighted to invest in those old rags.

Yes we can afford to own express train, if Ethiopia could, why not us?
BusinessRe: Ibadan Firm Exported Nine Billion Dollars Industrial Starch. by sam90s(m): 10:14am On Feb 20, 2016
omonnakoda:
That is irrelevant to the discussion of FOREIGN EXCHANGE? How much of the expenses are denominated in dollars
My friend, can you pls get a grasp of the context of a conversation first next time you nose-dive in, the point being made here is that the figure quoted is too huge for an obscure firm out of Ibadan, point is there's probably no listed Nigerian company with such a huge revenue($9B) and haven said that, I added that sometimes huge sales might not directly translate too huge profitability. undecided

BusinessRe: Ibadan Firm Exported Nine Billion Dollars Industrial Starch. by sam90s(m): 11:40pm On Feb 19, 2016
I'm thinking the same here, but have in mind that revenue/sales does not translate to profit, it's the margin that matters.

It is either he said N9b or $9m, it couldn't have been $9b for that company alone.

BusinessRe: What Exactly Will Go Wrong If The CBN Floods The Economy With Dollars? by sam90s(m): 11:31pm On Feb 19, 2016
The US will be happy(they print the dollar in question), while our economy will have nothing to be happy about.

Obiagelli:
I am not in anyway an economist but i have been reading a bit, especially Henry Boyo ( truth be told, i get an anytime i do).
I believe we earn our oil revenue in dollars, what if the federal government pay states their allocation in dollars and the state simple exchange their dollars for naira at the bank or BDC.
With this system there will be surplus dollar in the system that will drive the exchange rate down. A good example of this was during the last election when dollar was raining all over the place (thanks to Dasuki) the dollar fell to 170 naira despite official rate at 197 naira.

So I ask again what will go wrong if we flood the economy with dollars?

1, It appears to be true what they say that women are the worst misogynist, just listen to yourself, I believe everyone has a right to choose their partner, even if you think their choice is wrong, it's still their choice right? so how the hell did you arrive at blaming the wife now? it's like a movie script they clever way you twist the whole matter and land it on the wife's head, hia!

Smhhhh... Lets see how they recover their home back and more unfolding drama that will follow up... If am a man, my wife dares not meddle in our family buisness or unity... Especially between me and my blood... She should know her boundaries..and her role as a wife..

I believe a lot of things too, however, if you aren't stating that as a fact, say so, cos I'll be honest though, I do not know this as matter of fact, I'm just applying common sense here, I've never heard anyone made reference to 1200naira as 'thousands' of naira, or 110 years being called 'hundreds' of years, just saying bro.

moshoodn:
I believe anything above 1 should be pluralised... Look at Pirate of the Caribbean: Dead man chest and On stranger tides are above the 1 billion dollar mark. The avenger: age of ultron, Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows, Frozen, Transformers, Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, and the others.

You know 1.xx billion can be called billions? So we can clear out on issue of plural.
TV/MoviesRe: New York Times Special On Nollywood by sam90s(m): 11:01pm On Feb 18, 2016
moshoodn:
First of all, I used the term "single hit". Not all Hollywood movies end up being a hit...

Secondly, tens of Hollywood movies have grossed billions.... I can't just begin to list them here... You can search it up to get more insight.

Thirdly, on our mutual premise, more work needs to be done by Nollywood.

Thanks, Sam.
I insist though, but unlike you I can begin to list them: Titanic, Avatar & Star Wars: The force awakens are the 3 movies that broke the 2billion dollar mark, the others you might be inferring are probably those that grossed above a billion but didn't hit 2, I guess we can't say they made 'billions'.

Only 3 movies has ever grossed billions in the history of hollywood, however, I agree with you that a lot of work need to done.

moshoodn:
A single hit American Hollywood movie will gross billion of dollars, quite enough to take care of all the profits generated by Nigerian Nollywood movies combined.

We need to look into why?

All the same, Nollywood is trying, especially as an African influence.

AgricultureRe: Tomato Glut Hits Katsina Markets As Price Drop To N300 From N5, 000 Per Basket by sam90s(m): 10:57pm On Feb 17, 2016
You're so right, I think t's referred to as temperature controlled storage, however, with most things in our country, it's not viable due to many constraints, believe me no where in the world are farmers subjected to worrying about storage, it's simply not practical, perhaps FG should hire one service firm to provide expert advice on issues like this, at the end of the day, if farmers concentrate on farming and commodity traders worry about price fluctuation, that kind of insulation will protect the farmers' finances, and the sector will attract youth, see the way the entertainment industry is attractive to the youth, farming may be the next big thing.

MaziOmenuko:
This is the worse problem currently facing agriculture in the country: lack of preservative measures! This same quantity that sells for N300 will sell at N12,000 in the next 3 months when the rain starts. Isnt there a way to preserve the vegetable and make it available all round the year? Also read somewhere that 70% of those fruits and vegetables get spoilt before they are moved from the farms to the final consumer.

If only PHCN can assure us of at least 15hrs of light daily, wont mind processing one full basket and store in freezers awaiting the rainy season.

Oh, i forgot to mention, I love fresh tomato stew! cheesy

Two things appeared in my mind while reading this post

1. They might have resorted to this medium inorder to escape the security situation in the country

2. Maybe they want to rob their neighborhood to eck a living out of the mess the country has been plunged into due to both the mess of previous government and failure of the present government to give investors roadmap into where to invest in.

In all, RIP to the dead and I hope the living learn from their death.
