Usually, you can get treatment locally. What you have is tonsilitis. That litlle stuff dangling from the ridge of your throat is called tonsils and it is inflamed. You will need a minor surgery to remove it. After cutting it off, you will be given dry gin to rinse your mouth with. You will continue this process for 24hrs after which you feel better. The headaches and body pain will die off. I'm telling you this with first hand experience. Note: This surgery is usually done locally. |
Education / Re: Why Do Nigeria Borrow Money Whereby They Can Prints More Money. by seanblaise(m): 11:16am On Apr 12, 2021 |
First it is important to know how money works. It is also important to know how economy works. The size of an economy determines the degree of freedom the country has to print extra notes. Value is increased by scarcity. If you can easily pick up diamonds, then it looses its value. The more readily acceptable a currency is globally, the stronger the currency and hence the less damage when there is extra printing of that currency. For instance, if America decides to print extra 50 billion dollars, lower and middle income countries suffer because they will be the ones to cussion the effect of extra money in circulation globally. What this means is that there will be capital flight. This means that more people will have the capacity to purchase, and this in-turn means that a large number of people are looking for the same product in the global market. What manufactures would do is to increase the prices of their products to selectively kill the demand. It means that a product which usually goes for $100 will become $110 dollars and this has effectively terminated all customers whose budget falls within the $100 mark. This is what is called INFLATION. It is important to note that for third world countries such as ours, the central bank views your money domiciled in the local banks with the lense of a dollar. This means that if you have #100,000 in your zenith bank account, you just have $200 domiciled with the central bank. So printing more money locally leads to more money in the hands of the populace and therefore more purchasing power. Demand therefore outweighs supply and the only way of making the economy work is for prices to go up thereby limiting the number of people who are able to make purchase and this is INFLATION. 1 Like |

Politics / How To Register For NIN From The Comfort Of Your Home. by seanblaise(m): 7:51am On Dec 23, 2020 |
GOOD NEWS FROM NIMC, NO MORE STRESS / EXPLOITATION TO GENERATE NIN NIMC has setup a ussd server to dispense NIN number to Nigerians from the comfort of our homes. Dial * 346# and follow the screen prompts. Your NIN will be displayed. *Caution:* before dialing this code, ensure you do the following: You must dial from a sim that is associated with a previous registration of either voters card, drivers licence, bvn or any other registration that captured your thumbprint and passport. You must have at least N20 call credit on the line Prepare a sheet of paper and pen or get ready to screenshot the NIN when displayed, as it will not be displayed more than once and can't be saved once displayed. Do not try the code if your battery is low We were surprised that no such information was given to people at the NIMC's offices because of the money they make therefrom. NIN agents and workers were exploiting Nigerians to the tune of N3000 - N5000 to get what is meant to be free. The dial code works. I just got my NIN with only N20. Spread this info on all social media and inform everyone. The problem with Nigeria is not only leadership but sabotage and corruption perpetrated by the led. I think we are gradually getting it right. Corruption will die one day in Nigeria. Just spread this news. Thank you. |

There are steps to achieve economic boom in the face of the current crises rocking Nigeria. If we float the Naira and fully deregulate the price of petroleum products, then we will all suffer. Deregulation simply means that oil marketers are free to source for petroleum products on their own without government intervention and they can sell the product at their own price depending on the amount they bought the commodity. This means that, when there is full deregulation, filling station A can be selling fuel at 200 naira while filling station B will be selling at 160 naira. The customers then decide where they choose to buy. When this happens, naturally customers will choose to buy from a cheaper source and the other source will be forced to reduce their price in order to sell. On the other hand, floating the naira entails allowing the naira to be traded at the open market without the intervention of the government. Unofficially, BDC's sell a dollar at 460 naira while the governments official figure is 380, thats a difference of 80naira. This simply means that for each dollar sourced from the government, Nigerians pay the remaining 80 naira. Now deregulation and floating the naira are two important ways of reviving the economy but you need necessary economic infrastructure in place to cushion the initial effect this move will have on the consumer. For instance, we depend majorly on crude oil to earn forex, if anything happens to the oil market we feel the impact greatly. Alot of ships coming into Nigeria with foreign products on a daily basis and those ships leave Nigeria empty without exporting anything. This is a one way traffic and it's not good for our economy. If the government can ban all agricultural products, all textile products( including okirika), all cosmetic products, all rubber products, and allow only medical and machinery products. This step will revive our textile industry, our agricultural industry, and the glory of our former rubber industry will be restored because consumers will be forced to make do with locally produced goods. |

Education / Re: See The Office Complex Of The President Of South Africa (PHOTOS) by seanblaise(m): 7:05am On Sep 25, 2020 |
Some of those pictures of Pretoria are really beautiful. But there is just one secret why we Nigerians find it attractive and that is LANDSCAPING. landscaping is the most important beauty magnifier. Infact, the environment of a building should receive as much attention as the building itself. Here are some simple tricks. 1) when you wash the tires of a care thoroughly and just dry clean the body of the car, the car looks clean. 2) when you wear nice shoes, you look really attractive. In Nigeria, we pay little attention to our environment. Those buildings we saw there can easily be found somewhere in Ikoyi or Victoria Island but the landscaping and environment has added so much beauty to the overall appearance of the place. When you take a picture at Civic center in Victoria Island, subconsciously a viewer will tell you that this is Nigeria even if the viewer has never seen the civic centre building before. Now take picture in a bungalow somewhere in Chicago, that same viewer will immediately tell you that this picture was taken overseas. The difference is just landscaping and attention to environment. 4 Likes |
Politics / Re: Naira Is More Valuable Than Dollar And Pound. Ignorance Is Killing Us. Wake Up! by seanblaise(m): 11:03am On Sep 24, 2020 |
Openbusiness:You don't trade with people you don't benefit from. Iran has stringent government policies that scare away foreign investors. A case study is UAE. Of all the 7 Emirates that make up the UAE, Dubai is the most liberal and that is why they are prosperous. Apart from buying and selling of crude oil, countries seek other trade corridors within their trade partners. Its almost certain that if you want to invest in consumer products and services in Africa, you first come to Lagos, Nigeria. These days, trade has gone beyond buying and selling, it is now about forging alliances. Yes, green energy is a new development but it has not been developed to the point of powering heavy engines. In Africa, the only thing we have is our natural resources that is why whenever western media wants to refer to Africa, they always paint the picture of natural resources. The united States were buying crude oil from Nigeria as a way of supporting our local economy, not necessarily because they need it. They target densely populated areas to form economic alliances and saturate their local economies with dollars thereby making them dependent. Oil is still very important to world trade. If Nigeria wants to get it right, we need a president with the heart of Obasanjo, the mind of Jonathan and the brain of soludo. 3 Likes |

Openbusiness:In actual sense, this is just a spill over of the effect of covid 19 and the trade war between Russia and Saudi Arabia. This is how the oil market works. Opec has divided the production capacity of crude oil among its member states. This means that each oil producing country has a specific amount of crude oil it is expected to produce per day. As it stands, Saudi Arabia has the highest shares of crude oil production. Countries like Quatar, Venezuela, USA Russia Nigeria, Angola, Lybia etc all have a specific amount of crude oil they are expected to produce. This does not mean that they cannot exceed their production capacity, it means that if everyone sticks to his quota, then the oil market will not be saturated and hence they can maintain the price. ( noted that they do this to fight the forces of demand and supply). Nigeria produces 2.2 million barrels of crude oil daily, at this production capacity, they are able to sale off those barrels every day. If Nigeria decides to produce 3million barrels everyday(although our capacity is not up to that yet) they will have 800,000 barrels of crude oil without any buyer and may receive sanctions from OPEC. So during the pandemic, countries kept on producing their daily capacity but 90 percent of the worlds industries were not working during the lockdown and hence there were many Ships loaded with crude oil on the seas without buyers and this made the crude oil prices to drop drastically. There was a day in April when crude oil traded for zero dollars. Now that industries and factories are beginning to reopen, the price of crude is gradually coming up. When there are no more ships waiting on the seas for buyers then we will return to full production again, this inturn will lead to an increase in the price of crude oil and an equivalent increase in forex for an oil dependent economy such as ours. 1 Like |

Firespitterz:Thank God you finally got the point. Quality of life and standard of living should not be confused. Quality of life refers to the basic amenities an individual has access to based on their location usually it is a government induced factor. (eg is electricity, medicare, infrastructure, education, etc) while standard of living refers to an individuals economic strength. For example, Obalende and ikoyi are both in Lagos Island LGA. If the Primary Health Care facilities in Lagos Island LGA are upto standard, then both the politicians and the low income earners can access the same health facility. This is Quality of life. Now the politician can decide to always have lunch at Dominos while a low income earner (aware that his financial strength is poor) can opt for a road side canteen. This is standard of living. In summary, quality of life is a function of the government while standard of living is a function of an individual. 1 Like |

Openbusiness:All things being equal, is your university degree in Nigeria not equivalent to College degree in America? Or is a University degree in China not the same thing as a college degree in America?. Different names, same thing. Where you argue is when you compare the value of of both degrees. This is the reason why I get so angry when government try their artificial solutions to make the naira strong. How can you keep on 'subsidizing' the naira? Allow the naira to flow in the market then you will know the exact equivalent of the currency. Officially, federal government is pegging the exchange value at 380 naira per dollar. But the actual value of the one dollar is close to 500 naira in the open market. What they do is this, when government wants to spend money in dollars, the CBN exchange for them at 380 naira per dollar ( same thing with people like dangote, otedola, Arthur Eze). This means that government is indirectly stealing 120 naira from the coffers of the nation to fund their spending. Now if we use the market value of the dollar which is 500 naira, and every one accesses dollar at the market value (including the government) then they will realise that Nigeria as a nation is actually spending more. This is the reason why there is hike in fuel price, electricity price etc. They are trying to use every avenue available to cushion the effect of the dollar on national spending. If Buhari was wise or if he surrounds himself with wise people, he will know that man Labour is still very cheap in Nigeria, hence he will ban importation of EVERYTHING we can locally produce. Cheap labour is one of the most important factors in production. Do you know that Apple prefers to manufacture its gadgets in China than in America?. This is because labour is cheap in China. Using cheap labour will save a lot of forex for us then we can focus on learning to manufacture those things we can not produce in Nigeria. Here is a secret the west will not tell you; Oil is still VERY VERY valuable although its not the cleanest source of energy but they have been able to understand the mechanism of action of crude oil to a very high extent. In china for instance, they can develop any kind of machine you want as long as it works on crude oil derivatives. These machines work in the same principle ( conversion of chemical energy into mechanical energy). P. S. I study economics for fun..... 1 Like |
