People say every cloud has a silver lining and there's a blessing in disappointment. Trials can turn into triumphs, stumbling blocks can be turned to stepping stones, you may travail to prevail, the people laughing at you are laughing with you soon. God will turn things around in your favour.

I encourage you to watch this video posted by a nairalander to gain insight into how God is a table turner.

This is a car existing almost 1000 years before its time. This is the future of Honda cars!

Somebody said
"Tough times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
Weak men create tough times. "
That seems to be a cycle.
Strong men are being birthed right now."
Principles needed to thrive during this travail period in our country are shared in this video.

Everyday247:
Do you think it's possible for God to send a second son to die for our debts? 🥺
Mens don dey owe too much.

We'll live to tell the story. We'll survive this and come out triumphant.

psucc:
Debt has been officially added to the finance of an average Nigerian. An average Nigerian, even the unborn, is indebted to the World Bank, IMF, China, etc on the foreign front, the to local financiers.

He owes 3 debts biz
Federal Debt
State Debt
Individual Debt

Can taxing Nigerians this way offset monies owed the World Bank,IMF and China?

GoodJohn:
Thanks for your explanation

Thanks for the encouragement.

The cost of living in Nigeria is sky rocketing with the upward surge in the fuel price hike.Taxes are springing up everywhere and the average Nigerian seems to be spending their savings to meet up with fulfilling their needs.
It seems the solution to the nation's multi dimensional economic problem is not in sight yet.

What is the hope of the common man in all of this? Our government seems to be playing with the heartstrings of Nigerians. Turning to government for help and waiting for them seem needlessly hopeless.
Imagine the federal government telling the NLC and TUC that they should accept the N 70,000 minimum wage if they wanted the fuel price to remain where it was.These organisations seemed tricked as fuel price has gone up and the case seems hopeless.

In times like this, you need a stronger hand that will lift you above the economic tales and woes of this nation. A life empowerment for a prosperous life. A support and lift system that would make you stay debt free in a debt soaked country. You need spiritual principles to be financially buoyant.

Life is spiritual and it is balanced by rituals.

A ritual is a set of words or actions that is performed as a form of religious activity regularly. Waking up to pray to your Maker for guidance and protection every morning is a ritual. Any thing you do as a set of religious of activities to provoke the intervention of the supernatural in your life is a ritual.
Studying the scriptures constantly,declaring those words and engaging the power in them over your life as you go about your daily life is a ritual.

God owns the heavens and the earth. Psalm 50 : 12.He owns the gold and all the treasures in them. The principles to access them are there in the scriptures.

In Prov 6 vs 6-11, the principles to access wealth are (i) hardwork (ii) good time management (iii) understanding the times, seasons and trends (iv) discipline (v) culture of saving for the rainy days (vi) self motivation and drive,etc.

But you know, it is possible for all these factors to be in place and the results may still seem far away. Ecclesiastes 9 : 11, "I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all."

To stay financially afloat and buoyant,you need the CREATOR Who controls times,seasons and chances.

I will encourage you to watch a video posted by a Nairalander. Insights on how to key into the realm of abundance while living in the city of scarcity are shared. This is the message of hope we need as Nigerians right now ! Let's watch the video and see, maybe,we will be able to pick one or two lessons needed for a financially buoyant living.

Happy Sunday to you all.

His offence-murder.

Hmmm

We live in a world where the fear of the unknown has plagued lives with untold torture and caged people from venturing into areas where fulfilment can be found. The noise around you may have disturbed your peace. The news on media may be peace threatening.The situation in the country could be so disturbing that the anxiety of what your future will look like may be gnawing away at your soul.

What about the peace that has been stolen from you because you were hurt by somebody who is very close to you? That wound from the betrayal festers each day and the foul smell from it is really disturbing your peace and the heartbreak has really broken you down.

Carrying such hurts and betrayal wounds has even affected your physiology,the way your body functions.You have constant headaches,backaches,ulcer,high blood pressure,unfavourable skin conditions,etc because of the poisonous hormones that have been released into your body system from the wounds in your soul.

MedicaIly, we have been told that a great percentage of the diseases people come down with are PSYCHOSOMATIC diseases. Diseases that come as a result of the condition of their minds and thoughts.
Toxic thoughts release harmful hormones in the body. The Bible says a happy mind is medicine and a broken spirit is a poison.
Toxic thoughts are a killer.

Living a peaceful life in a chaotic world is a possibility.

Peace in the soul is a force that plants health in your body system.It is a force that gives you mental clarity for concentration and helps you focus on attaining enviable heights in life.
How can you go far with such garbage and encumbrances that have been boggling you down in the journey of life? You need a life of total peace within. The moment you attain the life of inner peace, your journey to true prosperity begins, and that's the conclusion.

I will encourage you to watch a video about how to achieve the lasting peace in a noisy and turbulent world that was posted by a fellow Nairalander. The channel shares deep insights into how life on earth can be managed and optimized maximally for our benefits.

Wishing you a happy and fulfilling Sunday.

Do I need to be lucky before making it in life or is it a function of being favoured? Some labour very hard without any tangible result and some labour just a little and they end up doing big things in life.Sometimes It seems success does not answer to hardwork and sometimes it seems some people are just lucky to find themselves in the right place at the right time. Things are just very easy for them. Or can we say happenings are just mere coincidence or
providence?
The video posted by a nairalander on You Tube would try to answer some of these questions.The You Tuber meant to say somewhere in the video that even if you are in the background today,you will be in the frontline tomorrow.

The times are hard.The cost of living, for some,is gradually becoming life Itself. Some people who could not face the heat of the challenges of this difficult time have defrayed the cost of living with their lives. Some people have been seemingly made the sacrificial lamb that offset the sins of the greedy leaders who came to loot our common wealth. They died in the impoverishment created by the scarcity of resources,all because some greedy leaders carted the resources away from the reach of the common man. People are labouring hard to survive under the policies created by our government. This is the most difficult time in the history of Nigeria to live as Nigerians.This is the time people wish they were not Nigerians!

Despite these challenges and heat,there is a beacon of hopeand a ray of light. Someone said,
"Difficult times create strong men,
Strong men create good times,
Good times create weak men,
And weak men create difficult times."

It is a cycle of life. We are in the first phase of the quote.
The times are tough,this is the time to build our financial discipline, avoid wasteful spending and invest wisely if you have such privileges. Remember that Isaac, in the Bible, sowed in that land when there was a famine and the harvest promoted him and he became financially buoyant.

There is a lesson to be learnt in every situation. Instead of complaining and getting drowned by the present Nigeria's economic turbulent current, we may have to pick one or 2 lessons and adjust accordingly to survive this harsh period.

Some lives have been broken.Some do not know where to get the next meal from.The future of some looks bleak and blank and some have been blinded by the harsh economic realities making their lives bland.

There is hope for survival If we remember that pain produces power, tests produce testimonies, trials turn into triumphs,stumbling blocks can be turned to stepping stones, victims can turn into victors and sometimes we travail to prevail.

Instead of getting run over by the wheel of hard times as Nigerians,this is the time to brace up and brave it up. This is a trying period into which poor economic policies and greed of those in power have plunged the nation.
The Bible says that woe unto a nation when its childish rulers wake up to wine and dine,but a nation in which its rulers take bread only for strength( and not for any other sensual excesses) is blessed.
( Ecclesiastes 10 V 16 Paraphrased )

We need strength to survive this crucial period in the history of the nation.To win a battle,you must understand the following:
(a) The strengths and weaknesses of your opponents.
(b) Your own vulnerabilities.Those are the areas your opponents can take advantage of.
(C) Strategies to leverage on the weaknesses of your opponents and also block your opponents' abilities in exploring your vulnerabilities to their own advantage.
(d) The resources for solid preparations and strategy mastery.

I encourage you to watch the video posted by someone as it will show you exactly what to do in these hard times. I assure you, the time spent on watching the video will be an investment. There is hope. There's light at the end of the tunnel.

In Ecclesiastes, the Bible says the Iabour of the foolish wearieth them because they do not know how to get to the city.

It is a pity a lot of people know what to do to accomplish certain tasks in life but how to do them is hidden from them. Some people know businesses to engage in that would fetch them wealth but how to start off is a problem. Knowing what to do is not enough, but knowing how to go about what to do is more important. Seeing your destination is great, but knowing the direction to your destination is greater. Having a vision is wonderful, but procuring the provision for materialising the vision is more wonderful.
Getting the attention of God is a principle.One of the principles is seeking Him early. God Himself said if you seek me early,you will find Me.

Another principle employed in getting divine attention is seeking Him with all your heart.
A powerful principle to get divine attention is discussed in the video posted below.It is the principle that knocks at the door of heavens and consequently opens your heaven up for a heavy downpour of blessings. There are rules of engagement that fetch desired results. When you apply principles,you get results.


One of the most powerful principles in getting divine attention is revealed in the video below. This principle is not for those that are not ready to make sacrifices. Great,enduring and generational achievements result from sacrificial commitments.

Happy Sunday, my dear Nairalanders. May the blessings of the Lord rest upon all those that desire His mercy.

Jesus asked us to love and pray for our enemies. How do we love our enemies? How does loving enemies guarantee our blessings  and happiness?
Have you ever shown your enemies love or has anyone whom you hated with a passion shown you love? Let's read the instances below and draw conclusions.

Joseph was hated by his brothers and they plotted his death which Reuben averted by suggesting they should let him die of hunger in a pit instead of killing him in a gruesome way.
He wanted to go behind their back to bring Joseph up and deliver him to their dad. They agreed to the plot and dropped him in a pit.
Unfortunately, Reuben's plan dropped through as Joseph had already been sold into slavery before his plans materialised.
Joseph was cruelly hated by his brothers, but the hatred was working in his favour. Egypt was then like the USA of our day. He got into Egypt as a slave and he later became the prime minister of the most powerful nation in his days. Pharaoh practically left the affairs of Egypt in his hands. He was a great global figure.
They sold him into greatness unknowingly because there was a bigger hand controlling the time and the season.

How did he get all the influence and the affluence? He had a forgiving heart.
Imagine Joseph encouraging his brothers not to feel guilty about selling him into slavery. He told them they didn't know they were pushing things in his favour. He had a forgiving heart!
Did he ever revisit the case of Potiphar's wife who lied against him and he was kept in king's prisoners. No, he didn't. The lie was so woven that the prison they felt was  right for him was where they kept king's prisoners. The same prison where he got his connections and met his destiny helper.
Joseph understood God was aligning things in his favour. Things were going from bad to worse in Joseph 's life but behind the scenes, God was making things better and more glorious for Joseph. Why? He had a forgiving heart. This is the kind of heart that would make God promote you beyond your wildest dream.


To understand the process and principle of how a forgiving heart inherits the best of earthly blessings,I encourage you to watch the video posted on YouTube by someone and maybe we could pick one or two things perhaps.

No matter the economy of a jungle, a lion will not eat grass. No matter the economy of the country, you will always be afloat if you understand certain principles.
Everything in life revolves around principles and the understanding of life dynamics.
Prosperity is a mindset. It's mental poverty that is the worst of all poverty types. Material poverty is a product of mental poverty. If you have been programmed by circumstances to have a poverty mindset, watch this video to get a mindshift that will turn you into a prosperity magnet.

PheelzAlmighty:
May the best team win..

Hmmmm, but the best does not always win. Do you know something about providence? There are choices and there are chances!
Sometimes success disgraces efforts. Sometimes the dark horses seize the spotlight and the underdogs come out tops. May the odds of life favour us!

helinues:
As long as the product is always available, the more demand , the further the price would crash

Your assertion does not obey the basic laws of demand and supply!

ucheheart:
Hope you read and understood that the N50k is per year, not per month? Divide it by 12 months before comparing with the salary of the crook in power today.

My analysis was made per year not per month.
50000÷12= #4170. Let's change that to dollars based on the forex value that year(1979), that's $6997. Now save that and let's move to 2024. Change that back to naira in 2024 and you'd get about #8,642,000 in a month. That's more than 100 million naira in a year. Relatively our politicians have always received SUPER JUMBO PACKETS!

Tonididdyx:
Again fresh corn is available on every corner of the planet even in Antarctica corn can be grown!
He doesn’t have to ship corn from 9ja as your brain is telling you!
He could even grow the corn in a small garden in the UK!

In as much as he would not a get a free shower of corn from the sky or go into corn robbery,there's always a profit margin. Simple economics, you are turning a blind eye to.

Tonididdyx:
It still wouldn’t add up.
If he sells 100 corn a day @100 euros
Will he spend the entire 100 euros on himself in one day?

He can't have the 100 euros to himself. Do you know how much the landing cost of fresh corn is in the UK? Do you know what his profit margin on one corn is? I am you can't see the bigger picture.

Tonididdyx:
Na statistics we go chop?
Did he sell only one corn 🌽? Or does it mean he has to drink 100 coke because he sold 100corn?
You stats are garbage!
He needs to sell 2 roasted corn to buy one coke bottle as he doesn’t need more than a bottle a day, mind you he still has over 50 roasted corn to sell in one day (same day)!
That’s profit in relation to your 2:1 as he doesn’t need more than a bottle of coke a day

You are not getting it. Cost of living is high as well. Other things are as expensive as well. I only cited coke as one of numerous needs he needs to fulfil.

Hmmm

That was when my father bought a brand new car for less than #4000. So the annual salary of the president then would buy almost 13 of such cars. Imagine selling that car for 8 million naira in our own time and a modern day president can afford to buy 13 such cars with his BASIC SALARY of 104 million naira. There was corruption then as well.

Even the cover price of the newspaper should tell you something. That newspaper cost 15k then, now it is #300. If you divide #50000 by 15k, it's the same result you get by dividing #100 million by #300, the current price of the newspaper, and I don't even think the official salary of the modern day president is up to #100 million. For the president nowadays to buy the same number of newspapers the annual salary of the president then could buy, he must earn #100 million annually. Let's be relative with the way we think.

Likewise I saw people thinking that the man selling roasted corn in London had struck gold by selling one for £1. Converting the money into naira is a fairy tale. A bottle of coke there is about £2. Imagine selling one cob of corn for £1 and buying a bottle of coke for £2! It's like garbage in, garbage out.

Based on the values copied from Wikipedia below,in 1979, $1=60k, therefore #50,000 then in 1979=$83333.
Let's convert the $83333 back to naira in 2024 when $1=#1235 based on the table, $83333=#103 million. So #50000 then and #103 million today are equal!!! Cutting it down further, #5 in 1979 and #10000 today have the same purchasing strength.

Ftheophilous:
My sim is not 5G enabled.

I thought as much.

It displayed 4g instead of 5g. Is it 5g ultra?

None
