What We Expect

Increased FX Savings:

The expected increase in foreign exchange (FX) savings should normally lead to a higher volume of dollars in circulation. This influx can help reduce the exchange rate, which in turn should contribute to a commensurate decrease in the general price levels of goods and services.

Reduction of Import Duties and Freight Costs:

By removing import duties and freight charges from the pricing template of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), we anticipate a drop in pump prices. This reduction in fuel costs should also lower transportation expenses, thereby directly impacting the overall cost of goods and services.

until then, sorry!

This is funny as hell

With this shitty attitude, you ain't getting any shoe

They have been squeezing the grid to prove they can supply 20hours power daily thus justify moving everyone to Band A.

The grid is simply saying... lol

Sultty:
the cowry card shouldn't be made compulsory like one guy told me cash transfers and cash should also be valid as a method of payment

The business model would collapse if you allow cash handling, it will disappear away through some cracks.

fge

why not?

Damn!

Fly ke 😂. It looks similar to one I saw online few years ago that could only bounce around like a troubled frog

Lol...the comments here are cracking me up big time

I've told this story before but let me tell it again. Especially since we'll be doing a similar topic in our anonymous entries this weekend.

When we were in second year in the uni, I had this friend who frequented different prayer houses. I usually slept over at their lodge. I saw nothing wrong with her hopping from one prayer house to the other cos I felt na God she dey find. I even followed her to a few. Like 3 or so.

In retrospect, I now think everything is wrong with a young girl of 20/21 jumping from one prayer house to another.

Anyway, that's not the gist.

The gist is that she was dating a well-to-do guy then living in Abuja. The guy was from Ezza, just like her. He was rich, lived in a fabulous duplex in Abuja and was building a house in the village. He was also the only son.

Now, the few occasions she visited him, she found out he had a working class girl he was dating or having a fling with. The guy was in his early 30s and the lady was in her late 20s or early 30s too. She also had a car. So it was intimidating for my friend who was a 2nd year student in her early 20s.
Where do you even start to compete?

She said the lady would come to the house, chat with the guy in her presence and leave. We weren't 100% sure they were dating but she said she knew what she saw, plus female instincts.

Now, this is where it gets interesting.

The guy had been hinting at settling down as the only son. My friend really wanted him to marry her. I mean, who wouldn't? He was living large. But the obstacle as far as she was concerned was the working class lady.

We all took her side and so hated the working class lady. Again, in retrospect, we were just young and foolish. Now that I'm a working class lady, I can admit we were fewlish and jealous.

Anyway, back to the gist.

To secure her slot as the woman he would marry, she visited this prayer lady in Abakaliki with the man's name and told her everything. Including the fact that he's probably cheating on her with the working class lady.

This woman asked her to buy 4 things and bring for her to pray upon:
Honey
Olive oil
Doll baby
Cane/koboko

Wait, it gets weirder.

She told her to pray with the honey and ask God to make her life and love with the man as sweet as the honey.
Ok, not weird.

To use the olive oil to anoint herself to be chosen. Not bad.

Then the doll baby. She should name the doll baby after the man. weird alert
And every morning while praying, she should use the cane to flog the doll baby (the man) as many times as possible. She should tell him to stop running around after women and face only her. And to hurry up and marry her.
It sounded super weird but then, we didn't think much of it.

So every morning, she'd play Frank Edward's new album, pray, anoint herself, drink the honey and flog the devil out of that doll. As she flogged it, she ordered it/him to stay faithful to her, to love her and to come marry her.
This started late October and kept on happening for weeks.

The guy came into town to inspect the project he had in the village. He lodged in a hotel. She went to see him with the spiritual fortifications the prayer woman made for her. He finished his business and went back to Abuja.

She continued the flogging.

The guy started complaining of uneasiness and small small headache. That he no dey get strength to go clubbing again.

She felt the prayers were working and continued the flogging. After all, no clubbing equals no girls, shebi?

In December the guy came back for Christmas and took ill. She continued the flogging.
He got very sick. She was still flogging.
26th abi 27th, he died.

Remember they were both from Ezza. His death caused an uproar cos he was almost done with the building project. An only son. This and that.

The family went to juo ase and they said the young man nwuchuru anwuchu. That the death is not ordinary. That aka mmadu di na ya.

So the family started suspecting the young man's uncles and business associates. What if they killed the boy out of jealousy?

Our friend cried that these wicked uncles had killed her man. But one of our friends pointed out that this man was hale and hearty before the flogging of the doll baby started. That perhaps, it was not "village people" that killed him but our friend flogged him to his death.

And that was how wahala started.

She went to the woman's prayer house and she said something about "how many times did she flog the man? Hope she did not overdo it."
The only good thing that came out of it was that she stopped going there.

Till today, I find it to be a bizarre incident. Maybe it's a coincidence. Maybe the flogging is related to the death. I do not know.
But no dey enter everywhere in the name of prayer house

Solar is not cheaper its just a convenient option...

Don't abandon your Children's responsibilities and think they will come looking for you when they grow up!!

These generations of children no send who no send them.

As a parent, God's blessings supersedes your blessings, so don't think they will fail because you did not bless them.

As a man, do your best to be in your children's lives, don't wait for the mothers to force you to do things a father should do for his children.

They won't come looking for you and you will be alone in your old age.
Your Curses won't work, your deities have gone to sleep and God is not from your Local Government.

Women will keep walking children you abandoned down the Aisle on their wedding day and there is absolutely nothing anybody can do about it!

I have been begging my friends to at least go see their old father in the village and they have refused.
This man abandoned them with their mother and she single handedly raised them all alone. I remember how she sold her wrappers and jewelry to pay for their first trip abroad while their father was busy chasing side chickens all over the place. Even the other woman he married still left him because of his bad character.
Today, Mama has a mansion on the Island and takes turns visiting different countries to see her children.
The father who used to say "My children will look for me" is wasting away in his old age.

I don't know who gave him my number to call me and lament. (May your kinsmen seize your bicycle for giving that man my number)

I did my part by speaking to my friends and they said he can rot 😭
I don't feel sorry for the man, he was evil.

Take your responsibility to your children very seriously.
