Having 24 plant with zero impact. I am sure they also counted the abandoned Volkswagen plant at Ojo barracks where boys use their abandoned site as football pitch.

Engrduke:
It's not a bad move to have more private Universities as the public ones are already over stretched. One of the adverse effects of too many students seeking admission into public Universities with limited carrying capacities is painful change of students' aspirations.

Most students currently studying Microbiology, Biochemistry, Anatomy, Physiology, Medical Laboratory Science, etc wanted to study Medicine and Surgery.
Most current students of Physics wanted Electrical/Electronics Engineering;
Chemistry students wanted Chemical Engineering;
Mathematics students wanted Computer Engineering
Many Civil Engineering aspirants end up studying Building Tech. etc.

Some average parents who can afford these private Universities now have an option instead of watching the public Universities kill their wards ambitions.

You lied. I would rather chose physics as first choice for bachelor degree than any engineering course

Oga Topsy23 have you seen the just passed Electricity Act?
It’s time to key in. Building the 1 megawatts for commercial purposes wouldn’t be a bad idea.
One can strategically position to supply a nearby school, hotel, mall, hostel or even an estate.
Just curious, what would be the cost estimate for such venture, both solar and gas powered (LnG) model.

So where did obi now get the f u c king result he claimed he has? From roof top or from his obidient miscreants or from his brain missed road wife or from suleiman and Enenche altar? I need answer..

Certified true copy from INEC regional offices across the country.
Hope this answers your questions.

Restaurant are making a lot of money from what I read here.
In a bag of rice one can get up to 200 plates.
At 1000k per plate , that is 200k for a bag of rice that is less than 50k
A whole goat of #70k can serve for the meat.

THE INGRATE Waziri DID NOT SEE HIM AS A DRUG BARON THEN!

Atiku the treacherous backstabber. This is how God exposes your enemies.

Why all these name calling?

So he owns Clemco? I thought it was Annieh Bishop Okonkwo.

Back then, some boys in the neighborhood came in group to intimidate or attack me.
Dad went in and retrieved his double barrel.
He was a licensed carrier.
They thought he was kidding.
But he showed them what he did in Amorka between 1967- 1969.
When branches started falling from a nearby tree, they knew it wasn’t a drill.
Then I peeped through the windows, as they employed the gra gra gazelle mode.
We stood our ground
I will always love you Dad!

Pls I need advice on an issue.
I gave a plumbing work to a plumber, I am to pay him 160k go both first stage and the second stage where he will have to install all the accessories (WC, heater, etc)..workmanship = 160k
Now the guy had done first stage and he got 60k, time to come ad finish second stage, to install all the accessories and he's been posting me..For over a month now, one excuse to the other, I will come today, I will come tomorrow.
Pls, can I get another plumber and let him finish the work and negotiate and pay the new plumber? Can this plumber come to start disturbing tomorrow?

Tell him to refund the 60k for breach of contract and see his reaction. Not that he will comply.
But on a serious note, you self suppose move on with another person.

ok wait till next week ,lets see

I have seen devaluations since the days of Abacha $1-#22 . We all remember trend and how parallel market reacts.
Next week can never be different because no significant economic changes have occurred other than subsidy removal.

omoadeleye:
Which health problem you get self?? Wey you dey shout access to good medical care.

Is not Nigerian doctors dominating the same health sectors of the countries you want to japa to

Practicing in Nigeria and practicing abroad is not the same.
The regulations, standards, support, equipments, infrastructure and safety measures are different .
Any doctor abroad could order an ekg, mri, complete panel lab on a patient and get results in matter of minutes on his phone.

Make sure you take good care of that truck. It a sister code.
A woman’ s heart could be compare to a truck.

Several times, it spins around
Driven through the mud
But all it needs is a little TLC
Put some fuel and she comes back to life

They have heart like a truck

ChybuzzDD:
Why do you guys hate hearing the truth

I also noticed the same things the OP was complaining about when I visited Nigeria in December, and i can bet that things are worse now with the subsidy removal.

That means I'm an attention seeker, too, for me to have been able to make the same observations

Una problems as Nigerians no get any solution at all.

I no longer put mouth in their matter. Ignorance and too much suffer have led to lack of empathy.

michlins:
Here's my advice for the new month, start that project already. There's no reason to invest again. Inflation will wipe it off

Investment is still the only way to beat inflation. Money in the bank is as good as paper, except you have lots of it. Those ibeji lekki plots they are selling for #20M now used to be #200k round 2003-2006.

Nero2424:
I didnt ask but i dont think its a problem, i saw a truck 2 weeks ago driving into the estate to do for someone. they should be happy am setting a standard instead.

Am looking at replicating it in Nigeria but its too heavy to cargo.

Just look for people doing container and put it there. Some people would let you put one of those standard size plastic drums for $100 in their container. So you can put it inside the drum but it might take up to 3 months to arrive.

Nero2424:
You know what this is? Am looking for where to buy it in Nigeria, I used it on my driveway. See before and after.

I am surprised that your HOA allowed this. Did you check with them?

Eriokanmi:
Fx would only increase from the official rate of 460 to 630. The parallel market would be a bit favoured. Dollar would soon be bought at the rate of 650/660 at the parallel market. We once had this experience some years back when the official rate and the bdc's rate was almost the same. That is what will happen, going forward because everyone, including the bdcs who bid will get fx. Dollar will be available to all but not at the old rate anymore. Its happening already.

What you just explained makes sense but it’s a dangerous path. I foresee unintentional consequences. If everyone is able get dollars at the same rate, our local industries would collapse.
Here is the reason. China and India imports are cheaper. Every one will obtain dollars and import, in so doing all locally produced goods would be abandoned.

Teenaira:
What is pushing the rate up in the black market is the large unfulfilled official demand for Dollars. When lots of these official demand are met then the demand at the black market will reduce leading to crash in rates.

Where will the dollar come from to meet this demand? Remember that the money for subsidy was borrowed.

once cbn confirm this news expect black market rate to drop, so if your saving in usd make sure you watch out for this

Emotions and wishes do not determine exchange rate.

sreamsense:
Court does not deal with emotion, but the law. For obi to bring irrelevant materials as exhibit will just amount to waste of time. Is it not the same EC8A that one 'Amaka' would sign for all polling unit agents of other parties for fraud cases? How can that be reliable? The electronically transmitted ones remains more reliable. LP can't teach INEC on how to do her work. Same procedures were followed where LP won and other previous elections. At the end of the day, INEC and APC will give reasons for their objections and let's see if LP will not begin to cry foul again

Where did INEC get the electronically transferred ones? Were different ones transferred from their local offices other than the ones retained at those offices, which the petitioner has obtained and presented?

zomby:
This is 10000% certain.
The igbos don't understand that, to win a presidential election in Nigeria, you need either the northerners or the Yorubas. The northerners will never deal with the igbos, the yoruba on the other hand have finally woken up; the igbos will not be entertained ever again.
The big question is: Are the igbos enough to elect an igbo president?

You forgot that Nigeria has multiparty system. Look at what kwankwasor did to the block votes in the North. All it would take is the emergence of a second force in both North and SW.
Before your try to argue, remember that is how Tinubu was able to win. The emergence of PO in the SE which dealt a blow on Atikus block votes from the region.

mrvitalis:
The matter is this Igbos states have refused to tax businesses to allow them freedom to grow ....this was systematically done since 1970s

But now it's time we at least tax buildings to develop our infrastructure

20% tax on the rental values of buildings in nnewi can raise over 30 billion yearly ....this can go along way to building basic infrastructures

20% of the property value or 20% of the generated income like rent/lease?

emerged01:
Ok! You think,time will tell.

It is good to be optimistic but the truth is that while Nigeria was sleeping, the ship sailed. For years. bad leadership plundered the economy and the money for building infrastructure. How is Nigeria going to complete in the global market? Is it in manufacturing? Can we stand China in any consumers goods?
Do we have the basic infrastructure to enable competitive production?
You cannot run generator and complete with someone using cheap nuclear powered electricity.
Even the much talked about agriculture, can you beat Thailand in rice? Malaysia in palm oil, US in corn and soy? Netherworlds and Argentina in cows.
Just tell me one thing we can take to the world market and dominate?
A good place to start is by trying to be self sustaining first,

emerged01:
Very possible. I think 630/$ is for first phase in unifying the exchange rate.

This is like a man chasing his shadow. He will never catch it except when the sun is overhead.
The only export Nigeria has is crude oil and the money from it is not enough to balance trade.
Therefore, import is still more than export and the demand for dollars will continue to exceed supply. This is called scarcity and it drives price of the particular scare item, in this case the dollar.

twosquare:
It is a private business.
Anyway, ₦465 rate is subsidising the naira. It doesn't reflect reality when our inflow isn't much. I even expect the devaluation to be more than that. But with time, it will go down a bit when both Dangote and BUA refineries are functioning at optimal capacity.

Also, we should consider the BRICS nation. We do business more with them than with the 🇺🇸

Some private businesses have more national security implications than federal agencies. For a country like Nigerian that is almost dependent on crude oil, any private player in the sector that controls the whole domestic market should be regulated differently.
If we allow them do whatever they want in the name of private business, their bad decisions or greed might hurt all
Remember the last US recession? It was caused by the big banks ( private businesses) due to lack of proper oversight.

They don’t even have license to fly. They were not cleared by regulator.

adedayoa2:
We don collect salary yesterday.

which ministry or agency?

Few days ago, someone said , “hope the new refinery would sell US dollars at a good price to the CBN” and we thought it was a joke
Yet again another government policy making it favorable for the refinery to sell dollar at almost the same price with the parallel market.
Meaning more money to the owner and a push up the Forbes ladder.

This is rubbish, black market is hitting 900 by tomorrow
Who will bet?
