BusinessRe: CBN Mandates BDCs To Sell US Dollars At N1,314.01/US$ by Shikena(m): 4:29pm On Feb 28, 2024
That is the dreaded Nigerian factor that is always making the outcome of every economic policy defy defined economic logic since Nigeria was formed.

The only factor that definitively impacts Nigerian economy is global oil price. Any other thing, Nigerians will scatter it even if the economy is handled by the inventor of economics.

Did they complain when they bought at lower dollar rate and hit market at higher rate? That is normal risk of doing any business.

What if they bought those goods when dollar was higher?

188 is greater than 0. We are not America, we celebrate! Simple.

I'm even ashamed of Nigeria that an ordinary 188mw that a total of five universities in America consume, is what the whole of Nigeria is jubilating about. Not 1,880mw, but a paltry 188mw.

In every system you are free to commit crime but don't come and be claiming victimization when the hands of the law grabs you. That's how it works, always know what you signed up for.

TravelRe: Is Traveling (japa) Truly An Achievement by Shikena(m): 4:46pm On Feb 26, 2024
Depends on your definition of achievement.

e.g. generally, if you successfully accomplish a defined goal then that's an achievement.

On Japa, if you are at a certain situation at your current location and you have defined a future situation that you want to attain with Japa as a step towards that then it's an achievement. If you attain your goal by reaching your future situation then it's a big achievement.

natedroid:
I'm curious why (Japa) living and working in another country is seen as a big accomplishment in many black countries, especially Nigeria. What more do they have there besides good healthcare, infrastructure, and institutions? Does it suggest that black people living in Africa face poverty, lack of basic needs, poor health, and inadequate housing?

What was the average life of black people like before they had contact with the West, colonialism, and displacement by Europeans?
BusinessRe: Job Losses, Factory Closures Loom As Unsold Goods Pile Up — MAN by Shikena(m): 2:59pm On Feb 26, 2024
That's true, by now we would have had Obi's only economic investment in Anambra replicated across the 36 states. Hero beer for everyone. That alone would have solved these issues coming from all our years of economic mismanagement in 9 months.

In the book of Genesis, God worked for 6 days and rested on the 7th day.

Our pastorpreneurs, for decades, have been turning our workplaces to worship centers while buying private jets and top range vehicles forcing many to visit worship centers for 6 days a week while their cumulative work life is less than one day a week.

For those outside of the concrete jungles of the major cities, find any usable land space and plant something even if it's just vegetables.

Harvest time will never stop unless you fail to plant. Small farming is not a full time job. Overcome your excuses and plant something today. Whether you plant or not, rains will come and harvest time will come. You either harvest something or you harvest nothing.

PoliticsRe: Oil Bunkering: Navy Uncovers Illegal Diesel Depot In Port Harcourt (Video) by Shikena(m): 5:46pm On Feb 23, 2024
Na our leaders, na our government, let the masses breath. We go dey shout and often rightfully so but what are we doing in our respective corners of Nigeria on a daily basis?

How many corrupt practices have you engaged in this week alone? If you are an active practitioner of corruption on your street, your house, or your workplace do you expect to suddenly become a saint when you are in position of public trust and authority or you think those leaders/government people fall from the sky?

The way forward is to start addressing this on individual basis with personal revolution. It's like planting a seed, it takes time but it will almost certainly grow into a tree and your tree will be part of a formidable forest. Instant gratification will never work here. We have papered over the cracks for decades, it's reality time in Nigeria.

So victims of kidnapping drive themselves inside the bush for kidnappers to kidnap them?

This step is to ensure that you don't involuntarily find yourself led inside the bush by kidnappers. What is the problem with that?

Mrtaye:
So kidnappers wey dey inside bush go wait make police stop am for road block...na inside bush dem suppose go patrol no be to dey do roadblock dey disturb people

Security is synonymous with a bit of inconvenience.

There is no substitute for safety. Extortion is bad and must be addressed and stopped, but I will take that over getting kidnapped.
Get our security forces out there. This is an emergency situation and not a time for someone sitting comfortably on his sofa blowing grammar on ideals. There are cellphones and other recording devices, we have seen bad eggs involved in extortion getting exposed. That is how it should be and not the stupidity of sacrificing your security because of delays and extortion. Kidnapping is the highest form of extortion and often leads to murder. That is higher priority.

PoliticsRe: What Stops Anambra From Laying Rail Tracks Now, And Putting Trains On Them? by Shikena(m): 6:30pm On Feb 19, 2024
Agree that it is not 'profitable' but disagree that it is just a feel good project. Government is not necessarily about profit making but provision of enabling environment for thriving economy. Note, I disagree with you is not the same as 'you make no sense'. You made perfect sense but the debate on the role of government and the cost of NOT providing these expensive public infrastructure is age long.

mrvitalis:
Because it's not economically sustainable

It would increase the state recurrent expenditure, create less than 3000 jobs while costing billions

Those are feel good project that no sensible state in Nigeria should bother about

You sound hurt... why?
Maybe your model is not as efficient as you assume but that shouldn't be enough ground for frustration at the very first hint of challenge. It wasn't even a challenge, just less than 100% conformity & thinking of it, you may actually make more sense in your native language though grin

You exemplify why I am an advocate for teaching Nigerians in their native languages. Read my posts again 10 times if need be of English is a problem. Your issues have been addressed.

I told you I am done please stop disturbing me with mentions.
PoliticsRe: Frontiers For Democracy Calls For Support For Switch To Parliamentary System by Shikena(m): 4:11pm On Feb 16, 2024
Oh, here comes the insults?Grandeur issues to tantrums? grin

At least we got somewhere but still need to be clear about the differences between these systems (this goes beyond derivation/resource control) and why the presidential system enables the factors inhibiting an effective approach towards sustainable performance across key sectors. All with clear understanding of the Nigerian situation.

casualobserver:
Exactly why I said it seems you have no idea what you are talking about and clearly an inability to read and comprehend. If resource control and derivation is not a fundamental change then what do you acheive? How is it similar to what we had 1960-66? Parliamentary system in name only just like we have presidential system in name only?

With due respect, I am getting irritated now. I engage on Nairaland to enlighten, sometimes it’s not the person I am engaging that gets enlightened many read without commenting. I think I have spelt out the issues in plain English.

I am done on this topic.
