I'm glad we're all on the same page on this issue. The money wasn't printed, it was "printed".

The Muslim section wasn't created to promote Islam but to protect Nairaland from you-know-what.

Islamic banking can't really survive side-by-side with normal banking, unless imposed by force.
Would you deposit your money in a bank that offers no interest when other banks offer interest?

I'm sure parents can open accounts on behalf of their unborn children.

Also, technically, a child 0 years old is one that was just born.

Good luck. Try to be careful about scammers though.

Hmmm, interesting article.

What happened to him and why won't he be able to play the match?

Instead of reposting it every day I think you should just post a reply every day e.g. "still open".

With their 1-2 kids per family, how many watermelons could they be buying at a time? no more than 1 or 2 right?

I'm sure their grocery shops have limited space too.  You can sell more watermelons using less space if you stock the square fruit.  Also, the square watermelons will require less space to transport a given mass.  From the farm to the fridge, there are savings on every step.

Another possible advantage is that all the square watermelons will have the same size since the glass boxes used are the same size.  So when displayed in a store, they look very neat.  And they won't roll off the shelves.

but how much space does it truly save?

Let's do the math:
- Volume of a sphere 14cm in diameter: 1437.7cm²
- Volume of a cube 14cm in diameter: 2744.0cm²

In English:
A square watermelon contains twice the amount of fruit as a normal watermelon the same size. 
So instead of buying 2 round watermelons, you can buy 1 square watermelon of the same diameter.
Since it costs twice as much, you spend the same amount but it occupies less space in your fridge.

The source of this story is very fishy. thetimesofnigeria.com is the junior sister of saharareporters.

I dont think the money was physically printed. It was probably created electronically.

There's no way in hell it could have been physically printed.  It was definitely created electronically.

Some journalists are funny.  How did they get the 100 billion they used to print the 450 billion?  Did they print that too?  And how much did they have to print to get the money they needed to print the 100 billion they needed to print the 450 billion?

I guess the python world is boring. There's not much to discuss. Everything is so easy.

How did you come to owe them that money? Was it a loan? An overdraft?
Try to work out a solution with your boss and the bank, e.g. 50% salary per month.

I'm glad the problem has been resolved. Topic locked. Let's let peace reign.

The issue is their culture regards vultures as a taboo, I guess. But it's not such a big deal.

You still don't get it.  Any "official" exchange rate separate from the prevailing
"black" market rate is an attempt to fight the forces of demand and supply. 

The only way you can bring down the naira price of the dollar is by injecting more dollars
into the system.  I.e. increasing the supply to meet the demand.  End of story.

The reason the exchange rate is crashing is simple: the price of oil has gone down.
The CBN is just playing politics by blaming the banks. It's all about dollar supply.

If you think the police is bad, try armed robbers. They are by far the lesser evil.

Lol, Imagine where you would have gone if say ma booty KILL you.

You can still repent in the moments before you lose consciousness.

You made a mistake but you can correct the problem by accepting each other and seeing the best in each other.

I don't see the problem. As long as the meat tastes as good as chicken, it's fine.

A state that has failed.

That definition includes the USA: they failed to catch Osama Bin ladin or stop terrorism in Iraq

Repeat after me: "exchange rate is controlled by demand and supply"

[quote author=A-town link=topic=317569.msg4462647#msg4462647 date=1251818463]I doubt the money was printed. It would cost Nigeria more than 400 billion naira to print 400 billion naira.
Knowing the idiots in power, you may be right.[/quote]Central Banks can create money by fiat.  All they have to say, basically, is, "I the central bank hereby give you 400 billion naira" and that is that.  It's just figures in a computer.  The only cost is inflation.
