BusinessRe: FG Blocks Binance, Coinbase, Octafx, Kraken, Other Crypto Firms - Premium Times by sonofthunder: 7:25am On Feb 22, 2024

What humans need to thrive in dire times Is hope.

Hope based on concrete steps.


Look at the body language of the government and let's tell ourselves the truth. Does it give hope.

It approved 160m for lawmakers to purchase cars, spent billion for hajj, removed subsidy without any cushions for the masses.

A government that knows where its going to would have established manufacturing industries, improved power, invested in agriculture, beefed up security, tried top corrupt personnel giving them speedy trial and appropriate punishment for serve as deterants to others, cut down costs of government etc

If they have done a few of these things and tell people to have hope and give it one year for it to start yielding dividends people would endure but have we seen any of these yet

Instead we see them living large while telling people to endure. WHY?!!

its knee jerk response we see.

Let the government go after corrupt politicians and bank CEOs but alas they cannot shit where they eat
The fact that you aren't wrong doesn't mean you are right. Nigeria has fallen into a sorry state and all of these were inevitable regardless of whosoever took over. I told those around that cared to listen even before the primaries that doom and gloom awaited us after the elections. The FG had no reasonable way to implement these give the way the country has progressively deteriorated especially after Obasanjo's régime.


I just don't know where the lowest point will be. That's my biggest discouragement.

Don't get me wrong, I never supported the manner in which subsidy removal and many of these policies were implemented

The fg knows what to do but rather they refuse to go after those who are the cause of the problem

Who are the people mopping up the forex . are they not politicians

How do u improve the economy

Go from consumption to production.

Invest in agriculture, improve secuity, ensure local production for exportation, improve power reduce the luxurious live styles of government, let the masses see ur sincerity that you are not paying lip services to their plight and see how things would change

Above all kill corruption. Use a few top rated people as examples and see how the country would fall in line but alas he that comes to equity must come with clean hands

Buhari did all these knee jerk response during his time. Where did it lead us to


The govt keep doing the same things and expecting different responses. Kole werk
Apart from genuinely and aggressively fighting corruption, do you think we would see the effects of any good policy for the next two/three years?

FamilyRe: My Mother Wants To Throw Me Into Bankruptcy by sonofthunder: 10:31am On Feb 14, 2024
KingintheNorth:
Hi Guys. I am posting for a friend who doesn't want to be named but he seriously needs your advice and possible suggestions on this matter.

He is the only son and has a sister , his father is also still alive .the problem is his mother, she keep borrowing money in hundreds of thousands and expecting the son to repay those loans. She wouldn't even inform him before taking loans, he only gets to know about it when the loan sharks come knocking. He has been paying back loans that have run into millions for the mother for the past 6 years. The painful part is when you ask her what she is using those monies for, she will always say she doesn't know or does not remember.
Each time after promising not to take loans anymore ,before you know it she will take another one. The son usually pay her monthly upkeep money so she is not lacking anything.

Right now she is in serious brand new debt and she's running to the son for rescue and he is fed up. He can't abandon the mother and also can't keep paying back loans he doesn't know anything about.
1.) Stop paying any loan. Not even one naira.


2.) Demand here bank statement from when this problem started. Yes Six years ago.


3.) Let her get a job. She's obviously forgotten how easy it is to get money 🤑🤑🤑. 8-10 working hours a day will remind her.

BusinessRe: Can't Send Dollars To Nigeria Any More by sonofthunder: 6:16am On Feb 10, 2024
Hx1x:
Just got this email from WorldRemit.

Seems CBN has quietly re-introduced their policy where people abroad can no longer send foriegn currency directly to folks in Nigeria. Folks in Nigeria now can only receive the naira equivalent of the money sent.

I've checked Western Union and seems to be the same as well. Moneygram still allows dollars to be sent, but can only be picked up. Can't send to a dorm account any more.

I have checked and haven't seen any news on this.
What if they send straight to my domiciliary account. I need some dollars to make a foreign payment.

A worried social media user, Samuel N had queried why the Police always gave excuses after abductions have taken place...

Can they provide us data of number of fake versus real kidnapping?

I guess this was to reduce fears and make us feel secure. How about the kidnappings that happens around us that don't make it to the online sphere.... Are they real or fake?
BusinessRe: Naira Rebounds As Banks Offload Excess Dollars by sonofthunder: 6:30am On Feb 03, 2024
plaetton:
My friend, the very simple answer is that the FGN, as part of its economic restructuring program, is officially devaluing the Naira by allowing it to free float.
This is a deliberate policy.
When the Naira goes down too fast in a very short period, the same government takes one ad-hoc measure or another to curtail the panic, just for that period. Eventually the devaluation continues. No one knows the Naira's true value at this time, not even the government.
Therefore, no matter what ad-hoc measures taken today, the trajectory of the Naira is pointedly downward for the rest of the year, until it reaches that equilibrium point where supply matches demand.
From the way the entire economy looks, that equilibrium level might just be around N2100/$ .
How soon it will get to that level is everyone's guess.
What if the scarcity is never curtailed? How do we know that the scarcity is no longer an issue?

After going on trip for business purposes for like a month or two, wife constantly demand for lab test that she don’t trust anyone. What can someone do in this situation. No cheating is involved.
1. She must pay for the test.

2. She must also be tested.

3. Start demanding your own random tests. It must be very unexpected or you don't do it at all.
