And the funniest part is that most bannies that got married via that cheap amount of money were virgins...


Then again, I just had a thought...And that's the fact that we,men are now being compelled to pay lavishly trying to marry a community project all in the name of wife...

Wahala dey cha

Goddammit why are Nigerian men so freaking hang up about marrying a Virgin, when they themselves are so fu*king removed from being a virgin.

I guess the Pastor who attributed the Naira depreciation to him being absent from the Country was right. How else will one explain this sudden appreciation? The Pastor arrived in the country Saturday, and immediately appreciation occurred. Who needs the freaking CBN when Nigeria has this FX Pastor.

Khallicopyro:
After 3 years in office I wonder wetin him go buy? Fighter jet maybe

Biko, If in just 3 months nah this kind moni the man takes, mind you him nah just acting. In 3 years these people will empty the whole country's treasury

Bobloco:
It's a cash out season for the new DG

No Partner. He was using CashApp for this transaction.

Eriokanmi:
You just watch your income vanish even before collecting it. We're actually richer than most of them but na greed dey worry us for naija.

We build our own house with our money, no mortgage. We buy our own cars with our money, no need to worry or thinking about APR all the time, still buy air tickets and travel to where they love but they dare not travel as frequently as we do cos they've got bills to pay. Now tell me, who's richer?

Not from where I am sitting down here in South Florida, Quality of life is not judged by the number of breath we take in this world but by the number of places we have visited that took our breath away. There is no way my life would have been better had I stayed in that Country. No university would give me admission despite scoring B grades in Physics Chemistry Mathematics and Biology but not having a C in English was the roadblock. Today I work from my 5 bedrooms, 4 baths paid-off house in Fort Lauderdale Florida, and still making high six figures even in semi-retirement, Graduated with a bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering from the University Of Illinois Circle, Chicago, and a Master's in Information Systems from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I Design/Write web-based ERP business applications. In my spare time, I enjoy sport fishing, going to a shooting range, and traveling all over the world with my wife. Like I always say not too shabby of a life for a guy from Odesa, in Ijebu Ode. I love Nigeria don't get me wrong with a strong emphasis on LOVE, but partner I won't trade place with anybody in Nigeria.

chyzoo4u:
I don't know about that, I just shared someone's story then emphasized that I can make enough money to buy a house in a year once I step into UK.

You can buy a house in six months if you're paying cash or putting down close to 60% down payment. But typical 20% nah that ain't happening

Jogs1900:
How?
If you are in the UK, I don't think you can get a mortgage if you haven't lived there for up to 2 years.

You beat me to the question. Two years is not enough time to build credit to reach FICO score that will qualify one for Credit in UK. Now if you are willing to put down 60% on the house price different ball game partner.

Darkandhandsom:
Was she a virgin when you brought her home?

Nope and neither was I. Does that answer your question? Virgin crap is overrated

Darkandhandsom:
Na white i go marry.

Goodluck Partner. Have you ever seen a black woman early in the morning walk across your bedroom butt naked? Lawd have mercy what a sight to behold nothing more beautiful than that. I still say I am the luckiest nigga alive bar none. After over 28 years partner my woman still makes holla !!!!

Odewaleadesoye:
Why is it very difficult to find a woman who possesses all the qualities listed below?

Or have you been fortunate as a Nigerian man to encounter such a woman?

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/8066592/why-it-difficult-get-these

Who needs a Virgin? Not me. I don't have the time for some amateur night at the Apollo. She gotta bring something to the show alright?

DMerciful:
If she reacts, you guys will say Igbo woman don come again.

Well, its his family, he'll get whatever he is looking for

Wetin make you think we still nah go comment.

Number one thing that people fail at "LOOKING DOWN WHEN A QUESTION IS ASKED" When in an interview with an American first he or she notices is if you're looking straight into their eyes when they are asking you a question. Looking down indicates right away that you are not being truthful. Popular American saying "Look into my eyes goddammit".

That was the High School I attended when I was in Nigeria. That was when that school was still run with grants from the Ford Foundation, in the USA. We used to have exchange teachers coming in during Summer time to lecture us. That country used to be good.

Basicend:
I am Yoruba. . But, from my trading and practical business experiences, Hausa business men are majorly honest people and straight forward.

I have traded with so many of them. In terms of forex and other things.

Honesty and Nigeria in the same sentence C'mon man. Look if Jesus H. Christ is in Nigeria this negro ain't believing anything that comes out of his mouth. Knowing Nigeria I betcha he would have taken Settlement.

Paraman:
I wander why he couldn't buy the dollar through the right channel.

That's a huge amount of money

Okay in Nigeria what is the right channel? You freaking go to the bank guess what no freaking dollar. Again what the f*ck is the right channel?

SULBELL:
It very simple sir. Let me explain as a lay man too.
What you did at bolded is called speculations which many other Nigerian are doing
For example assuming you bought $1 @N1600 then, you will be eager to sell it when you see someone who is willing to buy from you @ N1650, thereby you made an abritage gain of N50 on the volume of $ you bought. This looks very easy right, its like free money, and you don not even have to lift a finger, you just need to punch some keys on your phone
Just as you are involve are thousand others too involved, thus the value of the Naira depreciates further. Note that this is profitable for you speculating with the Naira, but it is hurting the nation and millions of Nigerians, A clear example is the skyroketting cost of foodstuffs and electronics, which naturally could have only been marginally affected by the removal of subsidy.

On the flip side, the CBN has cracked down on aiders of such speculations, now there is a bit of sanity, and the Naira is gradually and consistently fighting back, Here what happens is they make the black market rate cheaper so those who hoard $ now will have no choice than to dispose it at a loss. Because I can not see aboki who is ready to sell $ for me @ 1,075, and you expect me to come to you and buy for N1650 because you bought yours for N1600 and we are friends

In simple englis, its the survival of the fittest, while speculators are fighting to make gains from the Naira, the regulators too are fighting to strengteen it, so brother, the fear of uncertainty will make many dispose off the $ they keep, this will further bring down the value against the Naira, thus the reason why the Naira is appretiating.

The decision is yours bro, you can sell it off now and count your loss
or with for a miracle that it will somehow magically go toward the 2k mark before ending of May as many have speculated

Just tell him it is like going to a race track and betting on a horse. Sometimes you win the bet and sometimes you lose the bet. Right now his bet was just f*cked.

SadiqBabaSani:
What is Yoruba business with oil in Niger Delta?

Aside Ondo State with below 30,000 daily crude output what business does Yoruba have that it majorly populate the NNPC?

Partner the Yorubas ain't your problem you barking at the wrong horse. 80% of the individuals that own oil wells in your Nigeria are from the North. Look ain't got any dog in the fight when it comes to that country just giving you the facts,

MrProlific95:
incomplete report,

Igbos, Hausa, Fulani and Yorubas are just cheating us in this country.


We must wake up, they are exploiting us in the region, because if this resources were to be in the South West or South East or North, they will not share the spoils with us

See how naive I am. You mentioned the major tribes in that country. So which one are you? I am just curious.

axglide:
Repent and Give your Life to Christ Jesus Today.

God loves both the one getting hooked up and the one hooking up.

STFU !!!! I know money is not the most important thing in this life, but trust me on this It is way ahead of whatever crap might be in second place.

Nonexisting1:
See mumu. Who asked his opinion?

Lord you got my boy Kat lol

blacknp:
Please Shut up, Nonsensical enemy of The Federal Republic of Nigeria wey no get joy for em life.

Partner facts are stubborn things. To be honest with you I don't give a rat ass regarding whatever happened to Nigeria. My main object as a trader is to make money. I can't afford to be too sentimental.

wittywriter:
All Terrorists are Muslims...

Wittyness

Yeap Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all Terrorists are Muslim. Hey, you don't agree with the statement. Too bad

Let us agree on this I will let you have Ndi- Eze of Lagos If I can have Ooni Of Anabara along with Alafin of Owerri.

lajid:
Chief who says McKinsey advised the Nigerian govt to free float?

I am going to explain what is going on to you. Hopefully, you will understand. When a country increases benchmark interest rate to 27% guess what happens mad rush money flows into that country. That is why money is flowing into the CBN account. Short term your Naira to Dollar rate will improve, but one year from now when it comes time to pay the yield on the deposited money watch out. Outlook is still $1/2220, I am still shortening the naira but laying off my position to 16 months

blacknp:
How far, we never hear anything from you since?

Noblemanonpoint:
All countries are using the dollar as reserve because they made an agreement. It's white man trick to keep their Economy strong.
Some countries aren't comfortable with that mainly China and Russia, and that a reason why the BRICS was introduced to break the hegemony of the USA through the dollars.

Africa would have been the greatest continent in the world if we had our currency backed by the vast natural resources in the land. Gaddafi tried to do it that was why he was eliminated.

USA as a reserve for trade all over the world is just systematic slavery. Down with that crap.

Partner it wasn't an agreement it was based on trust. China tried to impose Yuan that didn't work out because they weren't transparent regarding what was going on with their economy. The US is an open society which is why other countries develop confidence in their economy.

Throwback:
Good!

We must kick Dollars out of the streets of Nigeria.

Only a foolish country will allow a foreign currency determine the price of local value exchange.

Be careful what you wish for? Do you know that there are more dollars in circulation in the rest of the world than the actual amount within the USA. Dollar is the most trusted currency in the world, why? because it is backed by the full faith of the US government. Even China, and Russia maintain their reserves in Dollar. Enough said.

KennethOkonkwo:
😆...you are even Alaafin of Oyo.
That walking dead is your president.
You and your father are a walking dead and still useless to us here.


Mumu....and don't think whoever exposes your stupidity is yoruba too.I am Igbo from Aguleri

Really !!! My President is residing on Pennsylvania Avenue last time I checked.

Hezzyluv:
As far as I am concerned, China is the world's power.

China GDP is not half of that of the USA.

California 5th Largest Economy in the world bigger than that of France
Texas 7th Largest Economy in the World after France

Name the last innovation that came out of China that benefits humankind. All that China is noted for is low-skill-intensive manufacturing but that is about to change watch out for Mexico, Vietnam, and India in the next 10 years

BOSSkesh:
Allahu akbar
There is nothing wrong with Shiites

Really !!!! Don't get me started. Shiities and Sunni fighting each other over which is the correct direction to use to offer prayers If that ain't the stupidest sh*t I have ever heard in my entire life. This motherfu*ker had the nerve to say ain't nothing wrong with the shities. Partner GTFOH

Cindypresh:
More than 200 school kids was kidnapped few weeks ago and there was no protest from these religious 🤡s.


Nigerian politicians are the luckiest on earth...their citizens are so dvmb as fvck.

Partner fu*k is way better than them. What was that word that Hillary used to describe them again?
