thanks. Hopefully, I will be able to run your own job whenever you're ready

sure

michlins:
And as usual, I delivered again. This time, it's Asaba

Well done. You are the Baba in this area

Other than sells of crude oil Nigeria has few other sources for fx. The other one is diasporas remittances and fx from export. This policy mainly targets those areas.
Now bank would serve as natural gatekeepers. When a BDC operator receives fx from individuals through dom account, and pays equivalent in Naira through the bank, these transactions would not exceed 2.5% difference.
Except, if they do cash. But considering the multiple daily individuals/BDC transactions cash won’t be realistic.

Truck load of LP palliative about to be delivered

etcme:
This is just like asking if you can allow a Male Doctor help your wife deliver a baby.

Yes, I can allow a man who it is his profession to do that to my "girl" but on the condition that I will be present in that room.

Don’t ever compare a Doctor with 10 year in ethics and stiff professional bounds with any nonsense massager.

She's capping. Full tank depends on your car. I spend $60. I don't know if she lives inside Ajegunle, an average 2-bedroom (note: I'm not talking about Luxury apartment) is not less than $1500 per month. That being said, Houston is like living in country side compare to NY, California, Boston and so on, just like living in Oyo or Ogbomoso to Lagos. If you have to compare the cost of living in Lagos and Abuja, you compare to places like NY, Boston California where 2 bedroom apartment is as cheap as $4500 per month.

So mattapan, dorchester, Roxbury, stougton, Fall River and Lynn are all better than Houston?
I doubt that you have been to Houston.

sweetgala:
If you live in USA that me I've been to, 49litres wouldn't last you long doin 20-30mpg.
So what's her monthly fuel expenditure, nothing less than 150-200 USD

If she make only $1k a week that is $4k a month, it would be just 5% of her salary

Compare it with someone who lives in mainland and works at the island in Lagos, they will equally buy full tanks every week at say #45k a week
Which is #180k a month.
Assuming the person’s salary is #500k a month, that would about 40% of that person’s salary

25% in FCT is now secured for 2027. Wike is now positioned to do his Rivers wanders again.

ireke:
Shhhh..... it's enough .... off your mic

rent at $9,600 per year. when even some student will pay upwards of $500 per month for shared accommodation in university dormitories.

If she bought a $180k house (3 bedroom)with 20% down payment in 2020 before the housing bubble and when interest rate was at about 2.5 - 2.8%, she could be paying that amount or even less in a good neighborhood in Texas.

COMPAQ:
Are you joking? The fuel tank on a Camry is like 15gallons

No sensible person drives their car until the petrol is totally dry. Most cars gas light would even come on once you have about 2 gallons left ( 50 miles)
So, realistically people with such cars would buy gas before the light comes on.

Simple maths
15 gallons minus 2 gallons = 13 gallons. For a full tank

Throwback:
I reckon her tank of gas is 10ltrs for it to cost $45 to fill up.

Why are people like this? Where is lie in that?
$45 will get you about 13 gallons of petrol at $3.3 per liter. When converted to liters, 13 gallons is 49 liters.
How many small or mid size sedan takes more than 50 liter of petrol?

Eriokanmi:
I'm not a fan of Tinubu and his visionless apc party but I bought dollar at 810 at Allen avenue around 4pm yesterday. I hope it crashes further because it will favour us the more.

These speculators are the problem of the fx market..what Tinubu should do is pump more dollars to stabilise naira, if he has the balls to do so. Western policy introduced is killing Nigerian economy.
He's such a visionless leader . What the Nigerian economy is going through right now is as a result of dictates from the west.

Where will the dollar come from to pump into the economy?
Haven’t you heard that over 90% of Nigeria GDP is used for debt servicing and the rest is used for big government.
Nothing is actually left at the end of the fiscal year.

Some people dey use Bullion van deliver their own bribe. You need the grace of God to refuse such.

Tobijays:
good point. How long do you think it takes to repair or build a refinery? It can’t be less than 2years any rubbish work will lead to explosion that can ruin the entire state it’s located and environs! Safety mechanisms is key and we have to import all parts to fix! Buhari destroyed the economy, Jonathan too and OBJ! Only if obj built world class refinery it would have saved Nigeria close to 500 billions dollars and guess what it was cheaper then due to conversion rates! The military govt was a waste! Tinubu impact can only be felt at the end of his first tenure that if he is very good! Buhari’s economic rottenness reached the core. The only emergency to save dollars is to cancel all imports and limit forex to only earn dollars and pay naira! But cancelling imports will cripple all the businesses in Nigeria because the economy is running on imports! No government fit run naija to make sense even if you a Godsent! Building this country needs honest man with massive vision to build this country and it will take nothing less than 10 years! How did the prince of Saudi build dubai? How long did it take ? Ordinary burj Khalifa took over 2 years and that is just a building

Like I said earlier, policy making is different from implementing. You are taking about building refinery and you have not seen any sign that it’s even an agenda of the present government.
Let them start with executive order in that regard, then we will see them as being serious.

Believe me, they won’t do it. The reason is that it will hinder the monopoly of their campaign donor in that area.
Will it also take him 2 years to sign orders?

Tobijays:
bro, the evidence dy! Nigeria purchase goods of over 4 billion dollars from China in 2022 alone! Retain that money into the economy lasan e go shake d dollar a bit! Over 20 million mobile phones was shipped into this country! Over 1 million cars was brought into Nigeria last year! Let talk pharmaceuticals, heavy duty machines, cosmetics and consumables and see where d problem lies! And Nigerians keeping der money in dollars in all these fx domain not in CBN ooo nah tell me how dollar no go high! E suppose don reach 5k sef

Did Igbos start importing today? But can’t a Yoruba or Hausa man build factories to produce all these things you listed? So that they would save the day.
Why the fixation on Igbos?

Tobijays:
so with your supply and demand, explain to us how you go turn 1dollar to 150 naira?

When we stop importation of refined crude products and start refining and exporting, we will have net gain instead of the current excessive demand of forex for import.
It’s simple.
Patronizing on man monopoly due to campaign financing will not help the situation.

Tobijays:
how long will it take to fix the refineries? Read up on all these things so you won’t sound dump! The only single fast approach to bring down dollar rate is stop all imports into these country but that will kill the whole eastern business because all ther goods are imported! China closed all ther borders and reduced drastically ther imports for over 40 years that is why they are where they are now!

The East even without power at the center is still responsible economic failure of Nigeria

badoh:
Tell us the strategy you would have implemented to make the Naira stronger. For how long will you continue to subsidize fuel and allow unscrupulous elements to keep feeding fat on the nations' Treasury?.

Put policies in place that will support modular refineries not the white big elephant monopoly.

Mumu people want to start changing the narrative. The current nose dive of the Naira has nothing to do with intentional devaluation.
What we are experiencing is a result clueless leadership and failed economic policies.
We have a self acclaimed book keeper who has no idea what simple economics of supply and demand is.

Horlardorjah:
Not like it wouldn't work but on the condition that you do full damp proof membrane also around the external walls.

I thought so too. But it’s better safe than to hear long story afterwards.

gbadexy:
The open flower bed is the main culprit.
The soil would retain water close to the building long enough for it to be absorbed by the wall.
Ideally, landscaping should be done in a way that water flows away from the building fast.

And I was thinking of doing the open flower bed around mine. Thanks for this informative contribution.

emmybobo1:
I know where this fellow is driving to. Very soon you wont be able to receive dollar from abroad through the bank. I mean you'll only receive the money equivalent at CBN chosen rate

This is a case of being between a rock and a hard place.

That will be the worst decision. More than half of the inflow will cease. Hardship will increase and scarcity of dollars will deepen.

When there is reduced supply (of dollars), demand increases and price skyrockets.

Nigeria spent over $8b in Liberia with over 2000 lifes lost.
Yet, what what did they gain?
AU is pushing ECOWAS and by extension Nigeria to lead a military campaign in these hard times.
Have they even considered those Nigerians living in IDP camps in Niger?
Have they considered the influx of refugees to the 5 boarder states in the North of Nigeria?
The truth is, Nigeria can’t afford this intervention at this time.
Those countries with existing military bases in Niger should champion the course.
When Nigeria had it share of military rule, who helped them?
Other democratic options such civil protest by Niger citizens has not even been explored yet.
Nigeria has so much in its plate for now.

AllenSpencer:
It’s just a matter of time before erosion washes it down to Ogun State.

Let’s be objective here. Trees actually prevent erosion.

This is ridiculous and an embarrassment to Nigeria. I wonder why he felt that act of gibberish was a talent.
32 years old man for that matter!
Americans don’t like when you are being stupid. They will appreciate you when you show real talents and creativity.
No time for mediocrity.

Don’t waste your roses. Now he has the best view seat. Heavens are happy.

Ogbanje is Abiku in Yoruba. Literally it means coming and going. The name reflects the constant incidence of births and deaths that occurred in particular families. A child would be born and within a short period, the child dies mysteriously.
People then believed it was spiritual. Thus, the name, Abiku ( born to die). In the absence of scientific evidence and modern medical knowledge, people only believed what they knew. Remember that those period were filled with traditional worshiping.
Traditional faith clinic saw opportunity to practice. Parents of ill children who understandably were desperate for solutions became their ATM. So the practice was sustained because it was lucrative business. The cost of rituals, cleansing and remedies was enormous. Yet, the ends were ineluctable. often negative outcomes.
However, science and advancement in diagnostic testing have proven that most of those experiences were from genetics, autoimmune disease and lack of childhood immunizations.
Illnesses such as sickle cell was common then because couples didn’t know if they were both AS. Marriages would often occur within people of same communities with similar genetic status, often AS.
So the consequences was, children with SS were born and they usually don’t make into teenage or adulthood. Those they called OGANJE or ABIKU.
There is nothing like Ogbanje, it was ignorance.

In everything, we must apply wisdom to appease man and God.
Good luck !
