MrOkenwa: Hello house, do we have in-house person actively building and selling apartments in Lagos?
Any link to a trusted developer currently building to sell 2bedroom apartments within reasonable distances to city center will also be of help.
May I know how much can be considered a fair deal for a newly built 2 bedroom apartment in surulere? My cousin is a real estate attorney in Surulere. Let me know is you need his contact. Very trustworthy. But I don’t know whether or not he has your specifications right now. |

RepoMan007: the university syllabuses looks like like that of other world renowned schools unlike our polytechnics where they leave practical and specific technical work for general theory oriented syllabuses. To be honest with you, a polytechnic graduate gets more credit hours than a university graduate when both are evaluated for admission by foreign schools. |

Originalsly: First off .... abeg .... bear in mind ... I have absolutely no knowledge in this field ... but have an opinion! I do agree that with the change in that the HND was turning out Jack of all trades but master of none." This new direction would produce more "masters" since one will now have the opportunity to specialize in a sector of his choice. But then I'm thinking he should have broad foundation as pointed out in the mention above and for the reasons given.... better understanding and more flexibility. Maybe a year or two or whatever for the "broad foundation " and the rest for specialization? Then on the change ... I was expecting to hear about the upgrading and modernization of the facilities and to have them fully equipped in each discipline to allow graduates to easily transition into the real world work force. Above all .... who would be the "shepherds"? ... the lecturers? Would they be up to date in their discipline to prepare graduates for the future? ... or will it be the "back to the future" ones that did not keep up with developments or were never masters in the discipline? These are my concerns as an outsider ..... insiders ... is any of this a concern to you? Exactly what the change is about. The student will do computer science at OND level and then go on to specialize in HND. |

NwaAmaikpe:

I wonder what he expects and why he is aggrieved. With how Nigeria is, how Nigerians are and what we accept as norms in Nigeria, will you treat a Nigerian without bias?
It is only human to have a bias based on precedence, facts and what you know. I will not feel comfortable carrying a herdsman on a bike for fear of being stabbed neither will I go for a prayer with Mama Basiratu's Alfa without a skull helmet.
It is common sense. If your last wife cheated on you, you will not allow your new wife have a male bestie; if you know what Nigerians do to countries that have given them the benefit of the doubt to visit, you will be the one advising other countries to use the strictest bottlenecks when processing intending Nigerian visitors.
He should do what I did before I got a second passport; if you can not wrap your passport with a foil or wrapping paper, keep quiet, enjoy the profiling and work at getting another passport.
Because when we tell Nigerians to be good because of the consequences of what they do on everyone, they'd say, nwanne kwechiri, no gree for anybody. It must be you. Welcome back |

The essence of education is not just to work or earn a living, but to improve humanity. So many issues humans face are wrapped in mysterious ways of which rational or empirical approach would not unveil. Religion and witchcraft education are both humanities subjects that look beyond the physical or objective world. They try to make sense of what an untrained mind would consider irrational. How do you explain certain events that defile common sense? Because physical evidence is not enough to solve all problems, humans get trilled as they continue to uncover things that they believed never existed.

MT: Thank you for your analysis. You are worth responding to as you critically analysed the issue, and you are civil as well. One, it doesn't attract interest as it is a business transaction. Nigeria is not borrowing it[/quote]Second, like you mentioned, petrol price could go up in international market and Nigeria would have lost out as we have sold at cheaper price to Afrimex. However, look at this way too. With this deal, Nigeria doesn't need to prop the naira by depleting our foreign reserve, and the importers could have access to cheap dollars at the time the dollars would have gone up. Also, Naira position will not be worsened as most forex demands from the importers would have been catered for by the fund. Fuel price will not go up in the country as well, as that is one of the conditions before you can access the fund. Nigeria can also benefit from increase in oil price from other crude oil being exported. There are are always pros and cons to everything but in my considered view, I think the pros outweigh the cons. My opinion[/quote]

MT: First of all it is not a loan but a legal business transaction.
Let me explain what happened to you. It is quite smart and novel.
They do not intend to use the dollars to.prop up dollars like you thought or imagined.
They collect that dollars ahead of crude oil export in order to sell at the agreed exchange rate to oil importers.
Let me break it down.
When the agreement was made, let's say the dollar was being exchanged at 700 naira. The transaction is premised on that.
Now with the money in the hands of FG, even if dollars sell at 2000 naira to one dollar, the FG will be able to sell to the legal importers at the rate of 700 naira.
Therefore, the importers do not need to seek for dollars at the black market, which will ultimately worsen the strength of the naira.
It is novel, give credit to where it is due, and give them a knock where they deserve it. According to your explanation, if I have a palm tree on my land, and then promised someone that the oil from it over a duration is a collateral to collect a certain amount from them, then it’s not a loan. The only condition that would exempt that transaction from being an actual loan is, if there is no interest over the duration of payment. But you see this very move, it is not a very wise one now that the world is experiencing energy shortage. Prices of crude will increase but Nigeria won’t benefit from it. They have only mortgaged the future of this country. Think about what will happen in subsequent years when they won’t be proceed from oil due to this transaction. Even with oil money Nigeria is barely surviving, how much more when the money is no longer coming in. It would be fair to make a balanced observation. If the money is put to judicious use, it might help. But not with the way the leaders spend. Petrol alone on 30 heavy SUV convoys for just one month will take most of that money. Just last month over #500M was spent on attending the climate submit, by a group of people with no actual purpose or direction. |

Boldideas: If the CBN begs official rate at N200 what exactly will happen? I want to know if am being stupid or the wickedness of Nigerian governments needs a revolution? Almost all the dollar you hear about are all gotten by exchanging something, in the case of Nigeria, crude oil. So the amount of dollar you would have depend. on the amount of crude oil you are able to export. Now let’s assume the federal government made a total of $X amount from selling crude in 2023, used 50% of that to service debt, used 30% for budget allocation and 20% for running the 3 arms of government, the money wouldn’t even be enough. That why Nigeria always have budget deficit instead of surplus like some other countries. Now you see, that there is nothing left.That is why they go about looking for where to borrow. Borrowing means more interest to pay. This cuts into the little dollar Nigeria was making in the first place. Back to your question. You cannot control what you don’t have. Remember that some debt instruments are obligations. There is nowhere the FG will meet those obligations if dollar they have from other sources ( direct foreign investment, more borrowing, and other export, foreign remittance) is set too low against the naira. Another name for this is Default. When a country defaults, investors avoid them because they won’t be able to pay debts.

mariahAngel: So, when will you make out time to show us all how it's made (the acceptable way)?  Let us learn it once and for all, so that you guys can stop criticizing every time afang is posted online. I am not too good with recipe and cooking narratives but let me try to revile someone secrets. 1) The water leaf must be sliced very tiny and then crumbled with hands. Do not press out the water from it. The water leaf is the first ingredient in the pot. The foundation of everything else. 2) You need those ingredients with smoked flavor. Smoked fish, smoked cow skin and crayfish. All these will go on top of the water leaf, while the pot is still sitting on the table. 3) Next is your cooked beef and little or no stock. The pot is still not on the stove at this time. Add periwinkles, either shelled or unshelled. 4) The Afang. The most sensitive step. This will make or break the whole process if not done right. It is the highly guided secret. The leaves should not be too dry or too wet. It has to be finely sliced to strings. Do not use blender. Pound it. But don’t over pound. Once the leaves start to stick together, stop pounding. Now use you hands to crumble them on the other ingredients already in pot. The pot is still on the table. 5) Add your onion, dry pepper, salt and Maggie. 6) Finally, place the pot on the stove at medium fire. When hot (not boiling) add palm oil. Medium pot could take up to half of half bottle of oil. Cover the pot. Stir well after boiling for about 5 mins. Stir again and taste for adequate seasoning. Stir at the end . 7) 15 mins max. Food is ready. Notice that water was not added at anytime. Do not add water. One noticeable thing with the one you posted is that they did not “tat” the water leaves. By this I mean plucking off the stem part of the leaves. It’s a no no. You do not want to see that in your Afang soup. |
