Instead of becoming a doubting Thomas, why not just try and be verifying things first? Google is there for free if you have data. I travelled to Hungary last year. Early this year,.I travelled again to another destination. I have a good relationship woth my bank. They're the first who told me of the tax clearance thing last year. We approached firs and got it done, still no fx allocation from the cbn. The queue was ridiculously long. Na aboki bail me out I'm the end. Same this year.

My inlaws had their tax clearance already
and just last month, they couldn't get fx from the bank for their PTA. We had to go to Allen ave, to get fx for them.

he doesn't travel. No way in heaven or hell, he'd know these things or have these first hand experiences.

You're all over the place confusing yourself. @the bolded, owe who? Bola the indomie seller? At what interest rate? To pay when? Is the debt interest free? You're tilting towards derivatives which you have zero knowledge about and which will confuse you further.
Simple concepts are already hard enough for you.

Brah, dip!!!

show us your calculations/math to prove your point and quit hyperventilating on your obvious inability to do so. Clown is talking about interest rate and derivatives. Basic things you no fit defend 😁

Dela had 150naira in pocket that was equivalent to 1 USD in 2015, but went into a coma, only to regain consciousness today. By what percentage (positive or negative) has his 150naira depreciated relative to the same dollar as of today?

This is a very simple challenge for even you that clearly isn't an egghead (maybe you were in your hey days and law of diminishing returns don set in🤷)

735i:


Okay Mr. Unlucky. Stay dumb....and keep calling people smarter than you lucky.

lol. Mingy wankerrrr.

Believeintruth:


There was a retail bid by the CBN to settle outstanding FX issues. that was the reason for the slide in FX rates, this has made a lot of USD in circulation which has pumped down the dollar value. This is still a short term measure.

I don't even need to have any insider info, all I need to know is the refineries are still not functioning and nothing fundamentally has changed. That is how I know this is just window dressing, not to mention we have been here many many times before, even in the last 6months. Nothing new.😎

Angelfrost:


Just celebrate small wins...!

Buhari was merely buffering the currency with lots of loans, same as his predecessors.

For Naira to have been floated yet is managing to gain against the Dollar... That's good.

If we improve other parameters that will increase demand for the Naira and less need for Dollars, it will gain further.


Whether you like or hate Tinubu, once you see good things, celebrate them...!

Nigeria needs to be overhauled all over.

Buhari plundered 8 good years doing absolutely fvck all.

Tinubu has to clean up his monumental mess, and still find a way to keep the nation surging forward economically.


Y'all should understand... If Tinubu succeeds, Nigeria succeeds!

If he fails or performs as abysmally as his predecessor, the nation is doomed! Not Tinubu or his family... Nigeria is doomed!

Whoever takes over after that will never be able to salvage the nation, not even Peter Obi or Atiku.

brozay I get you ooo, and you are largely right per usual, but if I dump my dollar stash make I bend😁.

Like Gerrard59's much publicised axiom, which I now 💯 agree, you largely can't lose betting against Naija. Until that/those refineries come on stream at least, all this one na window dressing.


One thing that is slowing this down thankfully (that most havent paid attention to) is japa wave that is kinda really at low ebb right now, if not ehn.....

But I ain't selling that stash at least until we have ceased importation of refined petroleum product. I can't work this hard for my money and watch it burn unto optimism or patriotism lai lai ka mari ni Paul wi.

I bought at 735 by the way, right before balablu enter

735i:


I do. You can actually research this yourself. Or... no need. It's simple logic. Just think through it. 1,000 minus 100% is what?
Now think 1,000 minus 200% will be what? Can a currency be negative? As in, you have N1,000 and you're still owing. Owing who exactly?

smh. The thing wey dey pain me pass be that person wey you disqualify. Life is unfair o. I so much believe now that the fella you disqualified was likey right in his assertion, but as life don give you unfair advantage/power over him in that situation, what can he do??

Yes you can still owe. Using the analogy of the question I posed to you, when Dele gets to the market hoping to buy 4 packs of indomie noodles with his 150, he certainly will NOT be able to buy said 4 packs today unless he borrows from his friend Tobi, or unless he undertakes to owe Bola the indomie seller the balance. That is a negative! Explain that to the IMF slowly just as you'd explain to the delusional geng that due to our chromosomes we are largely either male or female..yea argue that with those who like you want to turn basic precepts on its head without fact/a basis/ proof to back it up.

You're welcome.

735i:


This one is above you. Even if I tried to break it down further, if the capacity to understand isn't there, it didn't dey.
If you belive you know more than the IMF, then I can't have a debate with you. Got better things to do with my time.

just as I suspected. And this one considers himself a professional in the asset investment/management space. Darn shame you don't hold your own and certainly are not worth your weight in gold. Run along lucky chap (turns out you're just lucky, certainly not very bright).

Ps: I can know more than IMF o...cos math doesn't lie and you don't know the math. Just as Biology doesn't lie, but your oyinbo lords turn logic on its head and say there are scores of genders and transgender is a thing. Until you and IMF can show me the math answer to my question, your claim remains trash and is irrelevant to this thread, as numbers are what we're dealing with on this one, not 'balablu'.

Beverlyjean:


And u think u are doing the man if u are unfaithful to him cos he's unfaithful to u... any woman that ever uses that as an excuse is nothing but a hoe ... if u steal from me and i decide to also steal from u, then I'm a thief ... every woman should have dignity for their bodies ... it brings innocence into the world thru giving birth.... a man cheating is not the same as a woman cheating.... just like a broke woman is different from a broke man

bev, I dey always gbadun your takes. The comment of that lady is the mentality of most unfortunately. Cheating is one thing, pinning another man's child on someone else is another. The latter is just evil. Who give a rat's ass if you cheat? But don't freaking bring a bastard to me on top of that. If you want to do revenge cheating, fire away... but don't coman put the price/reward of your shenanigans on someone else. Paternity fraud to me is like a randy man who knowingly gives his innocent wive HIV, as in HE KNEW he had HIV and still gave it to her. However you perceive that to be evil is just how evil paternity fraud is.

735i:

Fumbled? Because a couple of slow people have opinions on Nairaland?
At least you guys can look this stuff up na. Educate yourselves. There's an IMF journal on this that comes up when you throw this question on Google.
Even if it's 3mins, read it, learn!!!

lol. Words are cheap, so it's easy to call them 'slow' or to disqualify that chap by saying he is wrong with mere explanations that don't stick or 'google what IMF says'

Tell you what, how about you assert yourself. Prove you are right, not with words, but basic elementary math, and I will gladly concede to your point as the reasonable fellow that I am.

If a man called Dele had 150 naira in pocket in 2015, when that amount was equal to a dollar, and then went into a coma for 9 years only to regain consciousness today, by what percentage (positive or negative) has his 150naira depreciated relative to the same dollar as of today?

Abeg just show the math and your answer (remember this thread/report is about numbers not words), and you did say you are in the numbers game, which is great cos math is irrefutable and doesn't lie. No shalaye needed.

Thanks

Cc politeactivist, as you also asserted that his point/math was right.

JagabanB:
Obidents think politics is about fanatism, interest is what drives choices, if someone votes BAT with one hope and it doesn't work, then he changes his candidate.
Trump won one election and Iost the other.
Why
Because not everyone who voted him initially voted him again, freedom of choice.

You foIks àbûsè people who voted Buhari twice and now mocking someone who say he may not vote BAT a second, do u think at all?
Same u Obidents voted Atiku and named him messiah all of a sudden, Obi is the next messiah.
The one who voted BAT saw that BAT was his best option.
So if he feels he has a better option in 2027, he's 100% right.
U foIks should deveIop smaII bràiñ.

I sha know anywhere I am on this God's green earth, I'll come back to vote and mobilise votes to return Tinubu to that seat to carry out more desolation and destruction.

Ka wa ri babanlaku Baba Omo ale to ma question the basis for my choice then.

I just want to see what anyone who sang his praises despite all glaring warnings will seek to educate me about the character of Emilocorn, and why he should not be voted for.

I have been on the side against, now I'm all for it, throwing logic and the truth in the bin, in the face of everyone. Looking forward to that, God willing.

Lol. I don't care about the likes tbh. I once disqualified a chap interviewing for Senior Associate role in investment banking because not only did he not understand it, he actually insisted he was right till the very end of the interview.
This was despite my trying repeatedly to break it down for him.
It's mind boggling how people are not open to learning and unlearning.

I think there is a good chance you disqualified that chap wrongly. If what has played out today here is anything to go by, the chap was probably right and you were likely wrong but didn't even know it. Unfortunately, we all (the chap included) will never know who was right or wrong. Today and here tho, you def fumbled on this one.

Kobojunkie:
Who paid for the DNA test that was carried out?

like four people don prompt you to read the story, but you no jus gree read am


“For me to produce SS even when I marry SS as a AA. So I started voicing my displeasure out to my friends and one of them pointed me to Justice Court that they will do the DNA test for free. So I contacted them and arranged a sample for me and the boy for Paternity test.

Justice court paid

You're welcome.

Grandstar this was my stand when we last thrashed these economy issues, as at when emilocorn came in and dabaru everything, although my prescription wasn't this detailed. I'd like to read your thoughts, cos I have been seeing your posts which suggests that you have also started to see the reality for what it is and what is not.

Lemos14:



See how you're saying rubbish with confidence on a public forum thinking you're a genius. These are the people supporting tinubu. Empty barrels. Go to your comment on the first page and see what you typed again

more concerning is that he considers himself a 'smart' investment banker. Talk about a square peg in a round hole. What is most concerning is my pal politeactivist somehow also concluded he is right. How??

ehizario2012:


This link did not open, but if it is about the death of one Dipo, it's one death too many. May God help us... After all the hustle, relocation, better life in view etc... to just drop dead like that is disheartening to say the least. May he RIP.

it's not that. It is about a black teenager (student) being bullied by some white students from school. They made him kiss their shoe.

On that link, Edit/Insert Twitter dotcom or X dotcom just after the http://

Ensure you write the dotcom the normal way. If I wrote it the proper way it would also be automatically erased, hence, why I wrote it as dotcom.

Nland automatically erased the complete link out

The mindset of some people is truly warped ..... How does someone else earning £1000 per hour, affect my lifestyle.........😀

Or buying 20 houses a day ........ 😜


London is a leveller..... Everyone would find their level.... Las Las .....😂😀

as in ehn. Similar thing happened with Lagosismyhome on the Health and care visa thread/ student thread last year or two years ago. Commonsense and logic gets thrown outta the window. And people (some) not only forget but try to rubbish all the immense contribution wey person don make. It's just plain ol personal beef and envy.

Have I disagreed with some of your opinions here. Yes! And I stated that

Have I agreed with most of your opinions here. YES!

Does agreeing or disagreeing on a point of view add or remove anything from me or you. NO!

Na just personal beef dey play out here. There is no case.

All staged.

Why would his stylist be that poised? How many of such occurrence have you seen happen on stage? Except of course the jacket belongs to the stylist, in which case he still wouldn't stop the act in that moment, as he would just demand for a replacement after the show.

Staged!

dupyshoo:
How did you come to the conclusion that his usual comment regarding "rent money as dead money" is pushing some people to see themselves as failures? Evidence on the property forum says otherwise

beats my imagination too ooo. Very very funny set of people na im some Naija people be.

deept:
this is not fair. Also to tell us the truth irrespective

don't mind these simplistic people. Look at all the supposed accusations thrown at Lexus, most of which are solid advise to same minds o.

Anyone who has a different view from the simplistic mob is tagged the enemy. Just as some such as myself have been tagged anti-japa onto say I see things differently.

Who amongst you Lexus force his advice on?? Where is the bullying? These guys ehn

sukkot:
Chief, I feel very sorry for Ngannou, he bit more than he could chew. I don’t even know the way forward for him again, I don’t think he has a future in boxing and the ufc again. Make baba go explore acting. He has the physique to play African kings in these Hollywood blockbuster movies

Omo AJ didn't come to play at all. I must really commend him and his new coach. The difference between this AJ and the AJ I thought was coming to this fight is clear.

sukkot:
Chief, Ngannou got destroyed like I said he would 😄

yes o....you called it right. Even Fury sef was pained that Omo this guy did it far far better. Big kudos to AJ! Def got his confidence and groove back

otipoju:


Brotherly. How far??

You see say elite boxing no be child's play.

Powerful Ngannou no see one punch. But him chop three better right come sleep like bag of beans.

Abeg quote me abeg.

you talk am. You called it right. Wow.

Even Fury sef was pained that Omo this guy did it far far better. Big kudos to AJ! Def got his confidence and groove back

sukkot:
it must prosper by fire by force 😄. Your boy Ngannou about to get his teeth knocked out tonight by Anthony Joshua 👀🙋🏽‍♂️

AJ is our home boy, but Ngannou wins this one.

otipoju:


Error. Joshua has over 30 boxing fights, 27 wins, 24 by knockout . 3 losses. 2 were by points against a more seasoned veteran in Usyk. His first loss was a Technical Knockout standing on his feet from a back of head blow by Ruiz...when he was already dealing with a concussion from sparring in training.

Joshua has never been counted out on the floor. No where.

Ngannou has fought one boxing match against a pillow fisted Fury. How are you expecting to see him knocked out. Person wey no dey enter water fit drown?

Stop embarrassing yourself brother. Na reasonable men you dey follow talk.

I'll quote this your 'analysis' again later on.

otipoju:


Illusion. Show me one instance where Joshua was hit on this so called glass chin and he was knocked out.

The only time he lost to a TKO, he was standing on his feet and it was the ref whonruled him out sue to the concussion from the dirty blow from Ruiz to the back of the head.

I'll wait for you. Show me one single example from all his fights.

I have seen Joshua on his ass many times, yet to see Ngannou on his. It's just a few hours left, let's revisit this after the fight.

My prediction: The fight won't go the full 10rounds cos Ngannou KOs Joshua.

otipoju:


Joshua will beat him silly. Fury is a pillow fisted fighter and Joshua is a brawler.

Because Joshua get fine boy face and gentle spirit, una like to dey underrate him.

Ngannou lost 2 out of 12 MMA fights. He also lost to Fury in boxing making 3 out of 13 professional fights. He is not invincible.


That is how yall hyped Wilder until he believed hid own hype and met real boxers that humbled him quick.

Joshua has been through fire and he is no softie. He will beat Ngannou well well today.

Joshua has a glass chin. Sadly, Ngannou wins.

The write up clearly states the car make n model

unfortunately for you, you're the ignorant one in this instance the report was incorrect, cos that car is clearly Honda Accord 2015-2017 like he said. That he could identify it with the specificity that he did, should have made you pause for a second before rushing to type the vile words you typed.

Ps: Anyone wey sabi cars go know in an instant what car that is. No be even say na difficult thing to do. You wey no sabi come still dey throw insults.

their money spends like the dollar though. Like a t shirt could cost you 20 dollars in Egypt. That’s 40 thousand Naira. So it’s not as simple as you guys try to make it out

you already contradicted yourself bros and strengthened my assertion. Their money 'spends' like the dollar, meaning their earning also spends like the dollar..which means this their drop to 50:1 is still far far far far more manageable than our 1600+:1, cos it means it still has far more value, and they would still be able to manage their situation well UNLIKE us who are very close to spending as much as westerners while not earning anything close to westerners. Catch my drift bro?

sukkot:
Say what now ?

50 Egyptian pound to a dollar na im dem dey complain.

Try NGN1600+ to a dollar
