Money that is supposed to be used for Capital project is used for recurrent expenditure. Is that how the state will develop?

At leaast, Aregbe's govt was honest enough to pay workers with the money. Some governors expressly denied having received this money until the FG provided evidence to prove otherwise.

Common sense dictates that when mass of workers are hungry, you settle them to prevent social unrest and breakdown of law and order. How does it look like when you enter a house with dilapidated furniture and a hungry family, and you prefer to give them money to buy new furniture instead of using the money to buy them food so they can at least be at peace? Won't they stone you?

Not to talk of cases where one family member will sell land, only for other family members to show up claiming that they never authorized the land for sale. I have friends with several of such cases in Obigbo, Emohua, you name it. Not to talk of the goat fee, foundation fee, matching ground fee, etc.

Rivers state is the only place I have seen landlords collecting drink money in addition to house rent. WTF!

The dollar is headed back up again. Now at N398. The Naira can't seem to shake the cobwebs off.

Nobody welcomes you with any attacks.

First, the title of this thread is utterly misleading. That's the first thing I pointed out based on my own 2-year experience. Mind you, I have made more than 3,600 pounds on that site and I can tell you I have found it harder to make money on PPH than anywhere else.

Moreover, PPH now charges new workers 20% of earnings and also charges money now for same day account approval; something that used to be free. You only get to bid for 15 jobs a month. You have to pay for more connects to bid.

So unless you are really good, you will find it hard to make $20 a day (as your title suggests). You brought yourself out with your thread title. So perhaps you have some secret to share with us (which I would also like to hear; who no like make money). I really think the ball is now in your court. Forget whatever attacks and show us.

But if you are just trying to sell something, I assure you sir; e go hard!

OP, the site is PPH, not PPP. I will also tell you that you cannot make $20 a day on that site. I have worked there since 2015 and I know how tough it is to secure jobs there with only 15 connects a month.

So unless you can show us how you have been making $20 a day, I think you need to be truthful about this and not keep talking things you do not know.

Your best bet is to get a client who will give you repeat jobs, or you look for how to sell hourlies (which is also tough).

He is 37 years old. Many footballers in his position would already have hung up their boots. Afterall, Zidane and Pablo Pauleta retired at 34 years.

I hope the guy who asked remembers that Nigeria is number 2 in the world in terms of people living with HIV. A word is enough for the wise.

You see the pic of the battered guy?

Well, he was supposed to be doing babysitting work, looking after a small kid. Until the kid's father came home from work early and got the bastard sodomizing his boy. Well, the father did major work on the guy and then called the police, and even added at the end "get an ambulance as well...the babysitter is gonna need it."

Needless to say the police sided with the kid's dad on the matter and locked up the babysitter.

Why in the world is that fellow standing in there? This is our problem. Why can't we adopt techniques that will ensure minimum contamination?

Couldn't you get him to wear clean socks at least? WTF!

It is funny how this Gwadabe man always gives one story or the other every week. His members (the BDCs) are a huge part of the problem. Even the Gwadabe guy himself could not state how much his own BDC sells the dollar on a Channels TV program last year.

Who is he deceiving? What does he mean onslaught of speculators? There have always been speculators in every financial market. Na today?

People don't understand that the true speculators have mopped up the cheap dollars at 370 and are waiting for the fundamentals to push the USD up, where they sell at a profit.

By simply watching the crude oil charts, the foreign reserves and the CBN's intervention cycle, a true speculator will be making money neatly.

The only way to minimize speculation is to make the process of currency moves more market driven using a free float.

The more predictable the Naira moves, the more speculators will be making easy money. Right now, the Naira is too predictable.

In a country where 7 out of 10 oloshos are HIV positive, does this fool even love his life?

50 Small and Big Businesses You Can Do In Nigeria With Their Cost Estimates

Do you know that there are big and small businesses you can start in Nigeria that will not put holes in your pockets? They are every day businesses you never think that they will make you a millionaire. www.doyenexchange.com/invest_opps.php contains a list of over 50 businesses you can start immediately in Nigeria and their cost estimates.

You will be amazed!

Kindly open your own thread and stop spamming and distracting us please.

Nigerians must be the laziest bones on the planet. See how people are busy dropping account numbers for 5,000. Can't one person offer to do some sort of work for the OP in his new role for something better? Won't that carry more value?

What bull crap is this?

Very daft people.

No one can successfully smuggle drugs across borders anymore. You ingest it or stick it up your anus, the scanners will pick it. The spectrophotometers will easily pick up traces in clothing, fingers, anything and then the suspect will be subjected to a full body search. You swallow it, it will show on x-rays.

Then there are the sniffer dogs that will pick up the smell of any narcotics without missing it. So why smuggle drugs when you will eventually get caught?

[quote author=fergie001 post=55132647][/quote]Guy, most of us used to hear that tape and message in parks around the country. So nothing new. Your intention, just like that of Hilary Clinton digging up an old tape of Trump, is meant to smear Chidi Okoroafor.

Did he make himself the GS?

If you knew anything about the hierarchy in Assemblies of God Church, you will know that to rise through the ranks to become a District Superintendent, much less to eventually be voted the General Superintendent, will take nothing less than 35 years of service in that church. Chidi Okoroafor has paid his dues and paid them well. He has every right to claim his mandate, moreso when the highest court in the land has backed him with a judgement.

In ABJ, USD/NGN = 380/388.

You can see that the CBN razzmatazz is up in smoke.

"The Injury time is a time,where the world has become churchy and the church has become worldly.People of the world instead of coming to the church to settle problems,the church is going to the world.
There is a place we heard that the church took a matter to the court and police came to the church,locked the place and chased everybody out. Ooooooo,injury time,let that day come when men will be afraid at Zion." (Chidi Okoroafor,1995)
He made this statement while he was still an ordinary District Superintendent in Umuahia in 1995,22years later he is the man in that pix with soldiers after the case has dragged from the High Court to the Supreme Court.
The Atheists will say ehen,na dem
May God Help Us.

The church council voted him as the new General Superintendent in 2014 and removed Paul Emeka for abuse of office. Paul Emeka went to the courts. The matter went to the High Court, Appeal court and finally the Supreme Court which gave judgement on the case last month and confirmed Chidi Okoroafor as the GS of AGC Nigeria. He is only implementing his mandate as the new man in charge and the police are empowered to enforce court orders in any country.

So what is the joke here?

Originalsly:
Money is the root of all evil.... why would the man give up the position that controls the money?...free money?....how would he now get income?...to live?...let alone maintain his lifestyle of the rich and the famous?....no businessman would give up such a position and no businessman will be appointed CEO General Superintendent and not fight to take his seat....court and Police matter.Take your problems to God?..He is the Great Healer?...problem solver?....not in this case. Hypocrites...imposters.

Money is not the root of all evil.

It is the "love of money" that is the root of all evil. Don't misquote the bible please.

To the uninformed, this is the true state of affairs.

The matter was decided in the Supreme Court and judgment was given last month confirming Chidi Okoroafor as the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Church, Nigeria. By that judgement, Paul Emeka has ceased to occupy that position and he and his renegade pastors ought to be flushed out. Chidi Okoroafor is simply carrying out the decision of the Supreme Court by taking over the Secretariat of the church and flushing the place of Paul Emeka and his followers.

It should also be known that the Supreme Court judgement is an affirmation of the decision of the Church Council taken as far back as 2014 removing Paul Emeka and replacing him with Chidi Okoroafor.

Let us deal with facts and not rumors or half reports/false news from fake media outlets.

You Hoarders & speculators should really hold on to your dollars yeah?? Dont worry, dollar will be N3000 naira soon!!! Whatever rebound this is, i can assure most of y'all that in 3 months max, no one would buy your dollars for more than $/N180.

Source: Authoritative!

Na only akamu full your head. Nothing else! See analysis...

How a CBN official will go on radio and will be boasting of reducing the exchange rate to 305 by forex intervention using funds that come from a source whose price we do not control is just baffling.

First to publish a post in the year 2200 AD.

I have always said it. Do your work as a Nigerian, pay the initial price and reap the benefits for a lifetime.

The truth always pays. Instead of lying about your location, why not simply travel to a European country on a short stay visa and do some work from there? The new trend now is to work online as a freelancer from any location in this earth. You must not be in Naija to do freelance work.

oruma19:
taaaaa!!! Nigerians are the enemies of Nigeria. If there's a problem, it doesn't take a second to hike prices, when things are returning to normal now, Nigerian traders who are the devil's will refuse to do the corresponding change in prices of goods and services. Tell me who us now to blame . If u go to buy something from the mkt, the sellers first make calls to either lagos or Onitsha to knw if prices have changed. What sort of a country is dis? Now that dollar is crashing, u may not believe me some pple are not happy. U can imagine ..

How long does it take to wire money to a car dealer in the US? (3-5 days, weekends not included)
How long does it take to transport a car from dealership to the port (4 - 7 days)
How long to finish customs processes at the US port and load onto a RORO vessel? (New Jersey, Georgia, Florida, etc)? (5- 10 days minimum)
Shipping from US port to Lagos: 14 days minimum
Clearing from customs in Nigeria: another 7 - 14 days.
Driving of car from Lagos to point of sale: 2 days

This is a total of 42 days minimum.

So the guy who said it will take at least 2 months for car prices to benefit from a SUSTAINED crash of the USD, is more at home with the situation and understands the facts better than you, a typical Nigerian who does not take time to process information before using it to make a rational statement.

I want to believe the man's story. The police were wrong to have started beating him, but let us face facts.

There are only two genuine entrances into Gwarinpa from the Kubwa expressway. Either you go through the Galadima gate, which is the legal entrance into the Adkan estate, or you go in through the Gwarinpa junction, from where you can access 1st Avenue, 3rd Avenue, etc.

That road the victim was plying is an illegal road. But because he probably could not spare 5 minutes to drive down to Gwarinpa junction and proceed through the legal road where he would not have been harassed by anyone, he chose to enter through an illegal road where he could easily have been robbed of his car and belongings.

The Gwarinpa police division have had cause to respond to several robbery incidents around that axis. I personally ran into an active robbery operation going on in someone's house just before the said Galadima gate. If not for the intervention of the police guys, it would have ended badly.

Nigerians! We have security forces that are very mean and brutal. Even in the US, we see how many black people were shot by police in 2016 without provocation. It is a problem everywhere. Therefore, do your own part by following the laws of the land to the book.

Policemen in Abuja happen to be the most civil in the country. I drive past several police checkpoints at night in Abuja, and NOT ONCE has a policeman behaved towards me inappropriately.

So follow the laws and avoid issues for yourself.

Propaganda!

rhektor:
Keep on deceiving yourself and the gullible.
How many people has Robert Kiyosaki met in the real life situation? How many of his belief system has worked in Africa? You just allow one silly desperate author to mislead you to foolishness. Kiyosaki only want to sell books and nothing more. Fact is all Ponzi schemes are fraud nothing more. Rob Peter Paul and James then crash the system.

Application of Kiyosaki's principles changed my life and my finances completely. People can see a cup as half full, others can see it as half empty. How you benefit from information is a function of how you apply it. As simple as that.

LordAdam16:
Nope.

My point is that using a fundamentally deficient method to prop the Naira is a penny wise pound foolish attempt.

I've done an analysis of how a full float will lead to a drop in parallel rate. If everyone can access dollar at X price, speculators will fritter away. Economics 101.

Every government that puts a peg establishes a wide gap between the official and parallel market.

And no, what is the use waiting till it starts falling, so you guys can start calling us enemies of progress and see our attempts to explain as attempts to mock the masses. Now is a perfect time, because many of us are still in denial phase. How can you do the same thing over and over again and expect a different result, especially when the fundamentals haven't changed.

Oga, as long as you are buying things in the market like all Nigerians at N450/$1 exchange rate while the elite buy dollars at N300/$1 or less, you are a loser in this currency war. Even if you are in the diaspora, the value of the money you send is still being chopped off. Everyone who isn't directly benefiting in the long run (aka politicians and their cronies) from this war is a loser.

Grow above petty squabbling and the classic "it's not my portion" stance. Believe me if I want to insult you, I wouldn't type all this. I'll just get down to the insults.

-Lord

It beats my imagination why people cannot follow your analysis, which I think is a good one. In Nigeria we always find ways to kick the can down the road. Egypt has fully floated. After an initial drop, the currency is finding its level and has witnessed mild appreciation.

Deregulate the fx market. Let everyone who needs USD go and source it where they can get it. As long as you have preferential pricing of forex (e.g. N197 for pilgrims and all that rubbish), there is no way people will not bypass the system and round trip.

Let her kukuma die there.

Someone that has no iota of respect for the man who gave her life and insults him at every turn. If her father could allow things pass, some people will not. She has not seen anything.

onatisi:
This may not be sustainable achievable without banks allowing dollar transactions on their naira cards. Don't overlook the fact that what is happening now is artificial because the rate been used now is induced rate due to govt injection of the nation fx into the market. What happens if they don't inject any dollars for 2 weeks?your guess is as good as mine.

I agree with you. Already, the foreign reserves have shown a decline for the 1st time in 3 months and crude oil prices are trending downwards once more. How long this will last remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, when will this dollar drop reflect on prices of stuff in the market?

rad8:
The shït is getting real....really real

If fg pump in more dollars, we would be at 350/$.

The retail rate pegged by CBN for invisible transactions is N375. According to the Director of the MPC unit, the aim of the CBN intervention is to achieve convergence of retail CBN rate and the parallel market rate, just the way it was under Charles Soludo's regime.
