We spent even more on imported furnitures and textiles, did that stop Buhari from removing ban yesterday?


The truth is competition is good for this country and makes lower prices.



This policy is about maintaining the status quo and enriching Dangote, Buhari did not consider local industry wen he lifted the ban on Furniture and Textile just yesterday but here he is placing ban on the commodities of the common man, so Dangote can fix the price and enrich himself without us having any cheaper alternative.


Nigeria is doomed with this kind of economy management.

yeah ur right,Nigerian needs competition for things to be better, even with poultry farms increasing rampantly in Nigeria, to buy a life chicken is still expensive to the masses,while even the fresh egg that is been technologically produced daily is still,#750 per crate no reductions in price,for long.

The writer above me is an hediot, who thinks that life is all about eating without knowing that a single policy change from that House can change his bank account. Igbos no longer think that way. e.g a simple law from that house banning the importation of stockfish or secondhand spareparts will put a lot of families in the SE in problem just to educate you. ''Ha si kanyi hasaa, anyi ahasaa''

It was Tinubus APC (ACN part) plan ab initio to exclude the South East from all positions at the National Assembly until God intervened and created confusion in their midst on the day of the elections which led to the emergence of Ekweremadu as Deputy SP whom they are asking to resign (e no go happen); now they have started again without considering the South East Zone for any leadership position at the House while giving the South South the least position in the hierarchy, it will not work. All positions must be zoned in line with Federal Character.

Does it mean that the two APC rep from IMO state, is no more APC members that made the party leaders to marginalise them in sharing of zonal allocated position in the house,infact i smell foul play, okorocha should rise and intervene, ball in is court.

watched Rocha's addressing press this morning, after their APC gov meeting with buhari,the way his colleagues interuppted his speech, and hijacked the speech,while he was saying excuse me am the chairman, oshiomole finished the interview, Nigeria has really entered one chance with such sadist,ill mannered ,unmatured set of people.

Daura President should include her in his ministerial appointment, make person rest for her.

As at the time of filing this report, no fewer than 20 police vans were patrolling the area to check if the robbers were going to return and ensure safety of lives and properties.

Nigerian Police always fooling themselves, return ni...return ke...

I am a non-indigene and i reside in rivers state . i don't feel threatened in any way . i doubt this petition.

my brother, does non indigine exist in rivers state, if not for royalty from companies or landed issues, I don't know anything or heard presently of such issues, I was born and bred in Rivers state, and have a business interest presently at abacha red gra,pH,the news is strange.

trying to show up and tell timaya u no fit catch me again,ntoor,meanwhile her pedigree in showbiz is far behind the mercy Johnson, Edo,ike,nnaji,Dominic,Damascus, etc just hyping and packaging, with timaya imbroglio, with the help of deep pockets men.

One thing i've learnt from Nigerian politics is never to rule anything out, in 2019 the 'Sophisticated' brothers might clamour for him as the one true saviour the country needs........they'll tell you how much of a great nationalist he is and how he only has 5 cows and has only 10k in his account and thus he is over qualified for the presidency.

God willing, we are waiting for him to declare interest in presidency 2019,my strongest belief is that he won't be APC flag bearer,he can never,with tinubu,atiku and co,still there,then PDP,trust fayose,wike,enweremadu,he will not make it there,it is reserved for his brother shekarau and lamido,and peter obi,so the best for him is labour party, and only almajaris in kano will vote for him,he is a mentally deranged bigot.

Hello people. I had this dream that got me really terrified when I woke up...

*************************************************************************************************************************

I was in a room upstairs in a house (more like a hotel). From there, I could catch the view of almost everywhere. I looked down from d balcony and I saw 2 of my roomates back in school and also 2 of my female friends back in school. From what I saw, it looked like they were having an affair. (one of the girls is married in real life)

They went inside. So I picked up my phone, called the married one and jokingly said "I can see you ooo" She asked "where?" And she laughed too.

All of a sudden, I started hearing deafening noises like bombings. I looked afar off, there was a big place like a refinery, a bomb went off there again. Before I knew it, everywhere started getting dark. I mean real dark! Buildings looked like they were dissapearing.

Amidst the confusion, I saw something like a group of so many castles descending from heaven (those guys from downstairs too were already upstairs). When I saw the building, I just started pointing to it and shouting "Rapture! Rapture!"

We were all looking in that direction but they didn't see the castles that were descending. They were saying there was no castle descending from anywhere and they said the darkness was as a result of d bombings that happened at d building i said looked like a refinery.

We all went downstairs. Everywhere looked scanty (really scanty- streets looked deserted and we looked like we were the only ones in the whole of that area). From nowhere, some policemen came and they told us to go back inside and that everything was fine.

***********************************************************************************************************************

I opened my eyes at 2:45 a.m and my heart was beating at a very faster pace! The only thing that came to my head was Rapture and the antichrist! I WAS TERRIFIED!

People, I'm not here to bore you with any preaching. This was what I saw and i decided to share.

LET US LIVE OUR LIVES LIKE GOD WILL COME THE NEXT MINUTE! God bless

l feel the end is near,just finished reading my Bible where I come across the word of Christ to answer the question of his disciples, about the signs of endtime,where he said sons will kill parents,mark 13-12,then I remember all the recent news this day,both in nairaland and other sources in respect to that,just finished reading my Bible, switching over to this forum,then seeing ur thread abt rapture, really we need to get prepared.

Emyogalanya:
The fifth rat is dead i'l employ shecow to carry out the job since a bible is there its like a church already and boko boys never miss any church bombing as for other docs an affidavit will do and they are replaceable and since no 5 is there who needs 1, 2, to be answering somebody sir, sir

I concur.

dazekid:
Hi, I am looking into buying a converted car(I have two options) but I would like to know what problems they may have or pose and what to look out for and know.

Thanks for your input.


Do note that converted in this context means from RHD to LHD and not a engine conversion.

gbawa,I mean dodge ur head,conversion, then Nigeria use,plus Toyota, if u see what my friends acura legend they bought in honk Kong and converted in Nigeria did to them,u will not have anything to do with conversion, except if u will buy it more cheaper, u can gamble.

You're wrong, they have done collabo,but I have forgotten the title, that should be 2014/2013,the lyrics has something to do with money or dollars, the video I watched.

though I might be wrong,maybe is phno.

Big Nigerian stars Psquare and Flavour are currently enjoying what the best of Cape Town has to offer. Both music acts are in South Africa, and it is more likely that they are in the country for work and not pleasure. But that does not mean that the hit makers are not cruising in the city. Peter Okoye posted pictures of him, Paul and Flavour together. A point to ponder, Psquare and Flavour have not collaborated before….hmmm

You're wrong, they have done collabo,but I have forgotten the title, that should be 2014/2013,the lyrics has something to do with money or dollars, the video I watched.

Dis una lgbo ,Yoruba, tribal comedies of yabbing of any negative news affecting each other for nairaland,dey make me laugh,before e dey vex me,but now I dey enjoy am,as e dey take start,na im dey funny pass.

nedu2000:
the half-day/half month salary option seems cool but she'll likely not cooperate,how much work would she be able to sincerely put together in about 4hrs,not as if she's always been a hard worker prior....i really don't know what to do with this lady,and this is when God don bless us with a good number of clients this month

you said she has not been a hard worker prior the above issue, then know she has seen an excuse to hide her laziness,but then u can still compromise by following the advice of cutting off few hours as some one said, just to fulfill all righteousness, if it won't hamper ur business, but let us still remember to GIVE UP TO CEASAR,WHAT IS CEASAR,AND TO GOD,WHAT IS GOD.

nwadiuko1:
Some people just hide under the guise of opposition to display absolute stupidity.....the op just showed a picture of one road being rehabilitated.....out of ten roads currently being constructed and worked on in Aba and some ppl here are yarning dust.....when they were all dumb during TA and OUK's regime. Work is currently ongoing in.umuola road, Ukaegbu road in ogborhill, faulks road, opobo road(desiliting of drainages) and some others, man holes and drainages are being opened to connect ogbor hill to waterside via goodmorning market....and. From monday after next work will be commenced @ ngwa road (ohanku) ukwu mango and some others......



Okezie will suprise pessimists by writing his name in gold as the governor that restored Aba and Abia to its lost glory

what about port Harcourt road to flyover, which is a major access road in and out of Aba,linking obehe,ASA,oyigbo,portharcourt.

MaziOmenuko:
No serious minded Governor will commence rehabilitation works at the peak of rainy season; and from what I'm seeing, this is the less dilapidated part of that road. Its the same 'No idea' construction company TA Orji used in applying cosmetics on the roads that this same guy is using.
After, he will quote N5bil as construction cost.

Abeg, when they are serious, we will know.

that particular area is not really bad,am talking abt park to osisioma,the main problem is the other end which is port Harcourt road to flyover,ariaria, and numerous others.

Keneking:
OK

- He is a responsible man.
- The wife has been with him through thick and thin.
- The wife is the pillar behind his previous success.
- Thirty years for this young couple I think there is a mix-up here: either wife's 30th birthday or Siasias'.
- Sia One would have married while he was in secondary school
- Nigerian Footballers and beautiful women sha

I thought as much,47-30=17 so he married at the age of 17.

Following a mysterious bone pains at age 8, I found out I had sickle cell anaemia,
It wasn't easy to mange it then.
To start with,

Sickle cell is a blood disorder that is hereditary n starts from when one is born,
So what happened? Why did mine wait till I was 8 before it started?

Funny enough, my mum said I was never sick as a baby n the only problem I had was measles,
I grew curious n asked my doctor,
After a number of 'no idea' replies he came up with an hypoyhesis where he claimed that my healthy look n lack of crisis or sickle cell symptoms till age 8 was as a result of extensive breast feeding.
Still don't know if his hypothesis is wrong or right.

Life as a warrior wasn't easy but what helped me was the refusal to accept self pity in my life,
Crazy enough, I happen to belong to a class of people who are intelligent,
After coming first in exams, I kept telling myself on n on that I was better than those with normal RBCs
I believed it too n that worked for me!
I had a dream n I wanted to accomplish it irrespective of my health difference n the set backs I suffered as a sickler
I refused to receive pitied love, in fact I got disgusted when people became nicer to me just cos they found out I have sickle cell anaemia.
I refused to compromise, I dreamed like every normal person.

How did I do it all??
1. I just believed in myself
2. I took care of my health, you know, eat at the right time, avoided stuff that contained iron, avoided extremely bitter things, made sure the weather was conducive for me, drank lots of water n took fruits.
3. I never depended on the drugs
4. I set goals for myself
5. I discovered who I am n who I wanted to be
6. I gave no room to self pity or pity from others
7. I saw sickle cell anaemia as a challenge not a disease
8. I never allowed myself to get intimidated by those with normal RBCs
9. I just kept FIGHTING n NEVER GAVE UP.

Tell you what, I don't take folic acid everyday, I don't take any drugs at all currently but my lifestyle has kept me away from hospital for 1year n 8months now,

If I can do it....you can do better cos we all are warriors.

To those who have loved ones who are warriors, keep encouraging,
Its not easy but its POSSIBLE!


Let's spread the awareness n keep FIGHTING!

good one,but if the profile picture attached to ur moniker is you,then u don't look like one.ride on God should be or strength.

HELLO GUYS, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME OF CREATING A THREAD ON NAIRALAND..PARDON ME IF THERE ARE MISTAKES... I TRAVELED TO ANAMBRA STATE TWO WEEKS AGO TO SPEND MY SHORT HOLIDAY WITH MY GRANDMOTHER,@ AGU- UKWU,.. ITS TRULY A BEAUTIFUL STATE, IT'S A STATE WERE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY, REP, SENATE AND EVEN LOCAL GOVT MEMBERS ARE ALL UP AND DOING... I CAN BODLY SAY THAT ALL ROADS IN OUR SENATORIAL DISTRICT WHICH IS REPRESENTED BY HONOURABLE UCHE EKUNIFE ARE TARED...REASON WHY SHE'S BEEN SENT TO THE SENATE COS ALL SIGN BOARD OF ROADS DONE HERE WERE ATTRACTED BY HER..........ON MYOU SECOND DAY OF VISIT, WE CAME BACK FROM CHURCH AROUND 9.. I WENT TO THE KITCHEN TO PREPARE FOOD.. THEN I SAW A SNAKE THAT WAS TRAPPED BTW IRON NETS OF THE KITCHEN WINDOW WHILE IT WAS TRYING TO CRAWL IN THRU THE WINDOW...I RAN. OUT SCREAMING FOR HELP , I WAS LATER TOLD THAT THE SNAKE DOESN'T BITE, THAT IT COMES INTO ANY HOME, THE PEOPLE DOESN'T KILL IT, RATHER I WAS WORSHIPPED IN THE OLDEN DAYS SO THEY ARE USED TO HAVING IT AS A GUEST.. FROM THAT DAY ON,I PACKED MY BAG AND LEFT FOR AWKA TO STAY WITH MY UNCLE .. IT TOOK 5 DAYS BEFORE I RETURNED HOME COS I FEAR SNAKES AND ALMOST EVERY THING THAT CRAWLS INCLUDING COCKROACHES...HERE ARE PICTURES OF IT AS WAS SHARED TO ME FROM MY COUSINS

just like my place enugwu ukwu,sharing boundary with agu ukwu,is a taboo to kill Python, though is difficult sighting it in my place this days,maybe the abakalekes and hausas that flooded my town has send them parking, usually killing and eating them secretly, but in umuleri also in Anambra state, u can see it almost in all the tree in each family compound, sometimes they used to crawl down tree,either on ur way coming into their compound or going out,ur host will implored on u not to run,that the beast is either welcoming u or telling u bye bye,either way.

lssue of imposing acolytes into office or positions has eaten really deep their mentality, is just like bee and honey,common minor position in nass,that went zonal way,also want to be determined through top hierarchy of APC,instead of bestowing such previllege to zonal leaders.that's what is also hindering the naming of principal officers and ministers of the govt,and tinubu APC is the architect of it,trying to build castles in the air.

swagloverss:
It was intended to be a simple PM on my BBM but the number of furious replies I got indicated that I had to expand my reach. The said PM was – “Naija men with come to my house, come to my house.” Is there seriously no young man who can advise his fellow men on dating etiquettes? Help us plssssss”

I sincerely felt that I was alone in this predicament till I started getting pings from people who were even more angry about it than I was. And then I realized that this is a general epidemic.

Now, I had different responses from people and I will attempt to put those responses into consideration and not be too streamlined with my views.

Most of the males who responded to my PM agreed with the fact that their brothers are not representing the male folks as well as they should in this area but one of the men made a case for our culture being the reason for this predicament.

According to him, Nigerians do not see the home as a private place and can invite just about anyone into their home. He also talked about the mentality that has been deeply ingrained in us – some men just don’t think that going on dates is necessary, or rather, “we can meet up at my house, there’s no need to go through all that white culture ish” (paraphrased)

As much as I understand where he was coming from and I agree with him that the Nigerian mentality has a lot to bear with this situation. I also think that there are two reasons why the “come to my house issue” is so rampant today.

(1) Some men just don’t think that it’s necessary to go through all that stress in wooing a lady anymore.

A friend of mine actually said that chivalry is dead in response to my PM but I am a positive person, so I refuse to believe that there is no single man on this earth who knows how to take a woman on a date and win her heart slowly – no, there must surely be such men left on earth. (yes, I am rooting for the male folks)

Some Nigerian men just believe that all that “taking a woman to a lovely restaurant and stuff” is for “oyibo people“. I mean, you will be surprised at the number of educated men who would invite you to their house at first meeting.

The man who inspired my PM is a lecturer. Another man who contributed to my cry for help studied law as a first degree. He is involved in media and publicity for a while, and is a called pastor… so you can go figure out the thing about education being a way to raise up people with a modern outlook on things.

(2) 80 % of the men who invite ladies to come to their house at first meeting have no good intentions at heart.

Now, I have to be very careful with how I say this, because I understand like my male friend stated above: that for some men, inviting a lady to their house at first meeting just doesn’t mean anything to them.

They weren’t raised with the mentality that the home is a private place. So even if they just met a lady they are interested in, they can hang out at their house as a first date – with no ulterior motive involved on their part. So yes, I agree that those kind of men exist.

We don’t need to go deep down into stories do we? Or maybe we do. Listen carefully and you will hear stories from the lady who has true stories to tell on how she had to fend off SERIOUS sexual advances just because she believed a man who said he had no ulterior motive for inviting her to his house.

Some of our female friends won’t open up to us but some ladies have been raped because of the “come to my house syndrome”. They cower in shame and guilt, berating their selves that they should have known better than to go to his house. And the society doesn’t make it easy on them too.

Most people would say things like – “Why did you go to his house? That’s a sign that you wanted the sexual act to happen” So the victims keep quiet and bottle up the hurt and shame inside.

What about the guy that tells you to just come into his house while he dresses up so you both can go out and then, under the guise of that excuse starts drawing close for a kiss?

So the “come to my house syndrome” is a serious one. Aside from the serious underlying issues of ladies who have had sad stories of sexual assault and rape to tell, it also begs for a total overhauling of the way some Nigerian men view wooing a lady – an overhauling of faulty dating mentalities.

If the woman was to be a street lady, we might pardon you, but no, you see a decent lady with her worth shining through and you just don’t want to put in an effort into treating her like the jewel that she is.

What would it take for you to take the natural order of the way things should be in cultivating a relationship with her?
Would a time out at a restaurant be too much to ask? It doesn’t even have to be a classy restaurant – just a neutral place where you both can talk that’s not your house.

So I plead again, don’t we have young mighty men of valor who can advise their fellow men on dating etiquettes? Men who can organize classes and teach their fellow men these things – if it comes to that.

Or maybe I should be pleading with our churches too. Almost every church organizes programmes for ladies on how to be virtuous women, how to behave themselves while on a date, etc. Can’t such programmes be held for men too? Women aren’t the only ones who need to be groomed, men need to be groomed too.

So gentlemen, I sincerely still believe that there are a lot of you who are getting it right in the area of what I just talked about.
Please teach your fellow men about these things, we will be absolutely grateful to you all.

Signed,
The community of ladies who are tired of the “come to my house syndrome”
