The issue of beauty is subjective & relative.However, good look is a major force of attraction.Although personally,i'll choose a man with prospect anytime.What's your take?

As a man I'm very visual and whatever is pleasing to my eyes will be pleasing to my soul.

OP is tryin to create money out of thin air. If we switch to yuan in order to reduce dollar demand, how do we earn enough yuan to fuel our thirst for imported goods? Truth is we are lazy and have little to export asides oil.

That is a long term move but what I'm talking about is an immediate act that will crash the dollar against the naira.

If we bypass $ the yaun get more demand than supply and will enventually increase in price. This will force people to import products from $ accepting countries.

On the contrary I think it will create a balance in demand.

The value of Naira would have gone up a bit, but not the way you are exageratting it. Atleast it would not be the nightmare it is today.

The thing is, Buhari though China's president was on his side, little did he know that china and the west are buddie (secret buddies) they only
act tough outside just to keep up appearances meanwhile behind the scene they have a long standing "trade romance". Anyways, knowing fully well that this deal would stabilize our currency a bit (which would anger the west) China quickly tabbed PMB in the back and withdrew from the deal, buhari being too embarrased simply could not speak of this shameful display so the silently buried the whole thing under the rug hoping for it to be forgotten.

Atleast this is what my fantasy brain tells me.

I was actually thinking you got that somewhere until I read your closing remarks undecided

SalamRushdie:
The key word there is values , trade is just an exchange of values so the fact that we change terms we use for our values doesn't change the value in the value

And that is exactly the point.

The disparity we see today in the exchange rate is totally cosmetic because of so many negative factors like roundtripping,hurding, and many more so we can not say for sure that the present value of the naira is what it is again st the dollar but once the pressure is off from the dollar,the real value will surface.

SalamRushdie:
That Yuan deal is what is called beautiful nonsense..so just by changing the currency you use to trade internationally you expect the value of your own currently to go up ? Absolutely beautiful nonsense

I thought trade is about demand and supply..

If we don't have to go through the dollar to do our import and export I guess the demand will reduce thereby forcing the exchange rate down...is this not dimple economics?

Politics › How to Crash The Dollar Against The Naira In one Week. by Toks2008(op): 4:34pm On Feb 06, 2017*

I don't have much knowledge about the Nigerian monatary policy neither have I worked in any financial institution but from the layman's perspective ì don't see how hard it is to crash the dollar against the naira in one week.

Now read this...

In a bid to bridge the widening gap between the Naira and the Dollar in the Exchange rate market, President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, April, 12 2016 shocked foreign investors mainly from the United States who have been accused of stockpiling their money in dollars.

The President had consistently insisted that he would not devalue the naira against the dollar despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund, IMF and the United States.

During Buhari’s visit to Beijing, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, the world’s biggest lender, and the Central Bank of Nigeria signed a Currency swap deal on yuan transactions.

The implication according to the Director-General, African Affairs Department, China’s Foreign Ministry, Lin Songtian, is that “Renminbi (yuan) is free to flow among different banks in Nigeria, and the renminbi has been included in the foreign exchange reserves of Nigeria,”

An economic expert and Chief Executive Officer, Cowry Asset Management Limited, Mr. Johnson Chukwu, noted that the currency swap agreement will allow Nigerian banks to issue Letters of Credit in renminbi (yuan) in place of the dollar or euro.

“The new deal may ease pressure on the dollar, since demand for yuan/renminbi will start rising,” Chukwu said.

In a bid not to devalue, Buhari according to experts is seeking for a way to weaken the dollar dominated currency by approving Yaun to be one of the nation’s major foreign exchange currencies.
http://www.newspunch.org/2016/04/us-market-panics-over-potential-dollar.html?m=1
.....................................................................................

Please can any expert in the house tell us what happened to this agreement?

In my opinion this is a simple kindargerten solution to the ever increasing gap between the naira and the dollar...I believe that if the federal government implements this agreement today,the naira will drastically appreciate against the dollar in just one week as demand for the dollar will drastically reduce as most of our imports are from China and Japan which means there will be reduced transaction cost of changing naira to the dollar and back to yuan as many importers can buy the Yuan directly.

Over to you all to discuss because I'm totally at sea over what is going on.

FUNNY

Yes it's funny that Nigerians expected (and still expect) a 73-year old, retired and under-educated millitary dictator to lead a complex, dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-religious Nigeria of nearly 200-million people to becoming a prosperous country in this 21st century of super-complex global economy.

This would have been an epic definition of clownishness if not that it is also a national tragedy.

Yes, it is even more funny that sane people were ridiculed here daily on Nairaland for seeing since two years ago the obvious error (that you lots are just seeing today).

So you guys should just keep the heck off my mention.

Do what you can. The green card game isn't for the light hearted. I wish you the best and I hope lady39 gets her father involved to check you out. Please do not entice her to visit Nigeria because you may put her life in danger. If you care anything about her and plan to meet, meet her in a nearby country with better security. Don't put her life in danger because of your quest for greener pastures.

You just ridicled yourself and your country in front of over 2 million registered nairalanders and only a bastard does that... this is not an abuse but a statement of fact.

If not you won't talk down on your country because you find yourself in the states...

All the celebs who are 100% Americans won't say this pooh about Nigeria.

Celebs like Brian McKnight,Ciara, Kim Kardashian, Lionel richie, Jamiene jackson to mention a few came to Lagos and left without any issues and the owner of Facebook walked the streets of Ojuelegba known for its notoriety without any escort and Lagos is one place everyone can boast of relative safety.

Which Nigerian will be foolish enough to write this about his/her country except a hopeless dumb person.

For writing this I officially tag you a loser...omo ale jatijati

You try guy.... you try. The Naija spirit is strong with this one. Get your Green Card by force or Fire.

I was actually expecting you to post something incriminating since you are so full of baseless rants and flimsy accusations.

Anyways I'm glad to inform you that I will be sending a message to the mods to bring down this thread cos you are two-faced. You introduced a lady to me and latter tried to destroy her persona and at the same time turned around to accuse me of desiring her for a green card....Apparently you need to check yourself for thorough psychological evaluation.. why introduce two people to each other just to bring them down with your unguarded utterances?

So you still have time to buttress your accusations before this baseless thread is removed.

A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Laiq asked him,

“If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?”

Within a few seconds Laiq replied confidently, “Four!”

The dismayed teacher was expecting an effortless correct answer, three. She was disappointed. “Maybe the child did not listen properly.” – she thought.

She repeated, “Laiq, listen carefully. If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?”

Laiq had seen the disappointment on his teacher’s face. He calculated again on his fingers. But within him he was also searching for the answer that will make the teacher happy. His search for the answer was not for the correct one, but the one that will make his teacher happy.
This time hesitatingly he replied, “Four.”

The disappointment stayed on the teacher’s face. She remembered that Laiq liked strawberries.
She thought maybe he doesn’t like apples and that is making him loose focus.

This time with an exaggerated excitement and twinkling in her eyes she asked, “If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?”

Seeing the teacher happy, young Laiq calculated on his fingers again. There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher. She wanted her new approach to succeed.
With a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, “Three?”

The teacher now had a victorious smile. Her approach had succeeded. She wanted to congratulate herself.

But one last thing remained. Once again she asked him, “Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?”
Promptly Laiq answered, “Four!”

The teacher was aghast. “How Laiq, how?” she demanded in a little stern and irritated voice.
In a voice that was low and hesitating young Laiq replied, “Because I already have one apple in my bag.[/color]

This story brings to mind the mistake many of us make in judging people and also makes us understand that we must avoid prejudice at all cost and wait until we hear people out before making wrong conclusions or forming an opinion about them.

-You call someone and the person did not pick up after several attempts and you quickly blocked or deleted that number.

-You sent a message to your Bae and h/she did not respond even when the status shows "read" or "online" and you conclude you are ignored.

-You asked a rich friend or family member for money and h/she does not give you and you say he is a wicked or stingy man.

-Your Bae was seen in a hotel with someone else holding hands and smiling....oh they must have had a good time together...

-You read a news and you quickly make irrational comments just to see a contrary report latter.

-You hear one side of a story and you quickly pass judgment without hearing the other party.

-You just hold grudges against someone who has no dotty clue that h/she offends you and you just keep hating and harboring bitterness whilst the person in question is busy living a happy life.

I can go on and on to highlight endless instances where you seem to be convinced about your judgment based on an erroneous observation or misconstrued information yet you could be so so wrong.

When someone gives you an answer that is different from what you expect, don’t think they are wrong. There could be an angle that you may not have thought about yet and no matter how seemingly sure a situation may present itself, be sure to know the facts from the people or person involved before passing judgment.

No matter how it seems...before you fire that shots,always find out the facts else you may make terrible judgments that may jettison potentially wonderful union and possibly ignite avoidable resentment.

I hope this makes sense.

You are very right.

In actual fact Hillary won the popular vote and if it was a Nigerian election I guess Hillary will be in the white house today but the American system has a somewhat complex way of deciding the winner of a presidential election by using Electoral college votes which is comprised of 538 Electors from all the states and who ever wins 270 out of this numbers become the POTUS.

The number 538 is the sum of the nation’s 435 Representatives, 100 Senators, and 3 electors given to the District of Columbia.
