Saudi Arabia intentionally crashed the world oil price by increasing their output just to
Please the US and European power after the backlash of Jamal Khashoggi's Murder.

They are just looking for a way to ease the pressure on them and the only weapon they've is the crude oil. Which is why Trump couldn't do or say anything meaningful about the journalist murder.

Saudi alone can influence the world oil price anytime they want. I even heard Trump thanking the Saudi crown Prince on Friday about the crashed crude oil price.

that is the world for you

yet foolish countries like Nigeria and Angola are yet to smell the coffee

We need to build an economy with a diverse base

dominique:
There are a lot of shady uncertified plastic surgeons from Miami southwards who have ruined a lot of lives. Beats me why people still take such risk and make themselves guinea pigs to these crooks.

it's so annoying

one should be happy with himself /herself

Elliot2:
it is a very pathetic thing! This is a primitive practice that should be expunged; it serves no purpore,rather than showing the subjugation of the females. A man n a woman coming together should be based on love,mutual trust and a sense of responsibility to oneself n parner. But if u can not find someone based on those things,then stay single. It is not a must to marry!

That's all
.But many will not understand

alBHAGDADI:
Then why tell women not to obey and submit to their husband?

Titus 2:4-5
That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

what is the link between loving your husband and all these you wrote and change of name? ?

Okay, what if the man permits it, wouldn't stubbornly changing your name to his be disobeying your husband and not submitting to him, according to you?

Forget that thing

All these things are social constructs

pek:
Your wish but it won't. Even in the next 1000 years. In this part of the world, paying of bride price is very significant and without it, marriage has not been contracted. It has nothing to do with amount but the significance.

we will see about that na


The significance is even the problem, not even the amount


But as I said, we shall see

Elliot2:
if we must discuss things that don't make any sense then it should be why a woman should bear her husband's name;it doesn't make any sense. She is not a property a man acquires.

well once upon a time, women were considered properties

not anymore

That shift is now difficult for many men to make

Because it's not what they were taught, or what they saw as normal

alBHAGDADI:
Story Story.

If I tell you that I won't pay your bride price just as you say you want to keep your father's name, will you and your father agree?

I'm a man

And yes, I am not collecting a Kobo for my daughters

All I want is their happiness

And I'd be there when they need me.
That's all.


You conservatives can bask in the moment

the days of your ideology is numbered

ahiboilandgas:
All this are the pre 2015 negative indices plus pmb caused capital flight....tb rate might be raised futher ,Russia is planing a production cut ,Saudi is using over supply to persuade Trump and Americans to turn a blind eye on the murder case....infact Trump just tweeted he happy with Saudi with 50 dollars oil .......for Nigeria a 70 is the fears price ,a hike lead to more dollars but unfutunatly more subsidies of pms and high deseal price like to more inflation ....a low mean no subsidies incured and lower inflation but the naira might collapse leading to hike in all good and service.....

Damn the Saudis

I think the world needs to find a way to break their ligs

they cannot continue like this

ahiboilandgas:
Crude oil price crashing fast 62 dollars for bent and 53wt ....this mean less dollar to defend the naira ,a devalution might be imment,rerserve slides from 48 to 42 and more euro bond issue (more dollars flowing out for interest payment) and new minimum wage (amist declining....dollars inflow)...couple with election (dollar demand increase)......some thing must give way .......review your foriegn exchange risk associated with naira bond and tb holdings

its sad that our country is now run like a casino

alBHAGDADI:
You people want to keep the tradition of paying bride price, but you don't want to keep the tradition of husband's name alone.

Isn't that double standard?

with the rate of globalisation
over the decades, bride price will die a natural death in Africa

you will see. ...

30-40 years from now, max

sinaj:
what has the bible quote up there got to do with name change

help me ask

alBHAGDADI:
Are you both expecting the Bible to expressly spell it out for you? It's the same thing as asking me to show you where the Bible says we shouldn't kill with a gun. You won't find such, but the Bible says "thou shall not murder".

Including your father's name to your husband's name shows lack of submission to the authority your husband has over you. Submit to your husband doesn't mean you can do whatever you like. It simply means submit in all things, name included. Failure to observe submission when it comes to name is the same as disobedience.

smh

noturbusiness:
did you see anywhere in the Bible where women names were use in the genealogical history of the Israelite? the rules about respecting ones husbands name was so strict in the Bible that a certain Naomi and her late son wife had to keep her late husband name so they can raise children from another man to keep the family name and our Lord Jesus came out of that lineage. respecting ones husbands name was so important in the Bible where that if a man was to die childless, his brother is to meet with his wife to help raise children and the children will not be his but must belong to his late brother and they must bear his late brothers name.

smh

I'm wondering what's the link between keeping your father's surname and rebelliousness? ?


Don't you know that this surname thing originated from the Norman French culture in the 10th century and then spread to the rest off the over the centuries?

Men like these make me ashamed to be a man

JoKe Silva that has been married for decades to olu Jacobs, are they not a happy family?

Fathia Balogun that changed to her husband's name, how far with the marriage?


All ye dumbasses will be fretting and hyper ventilation over frivolous things


And in the bible passages you quoted, what is the link between that and "name change"

adubam:
Why not continue in your field. If you think you are going to make money with ICAN you better think well.

why discourage him?

If he wants to write, let him write

Or are you scared of competition?

Folks from other fields will continue to write and pass ICAN for decades to come, and if he puts his mind to it, he could be one of them

A 30-year-old who's saving half her income says kicking 2 daily habits helped her bank an extra $1,000 a month


I grew my net worth by over $100,000 in 2 years — and I started by saving just $5 a day
Nov 24, 2018, 10:34 AM

wealth
It's a slow and steady climb to the seven-figure club.Bryn Lennon/Getty Images
Sean, who goes by "The Money Wizard," is a 28-year-old blogger and financial analyst.
He grew his net worth by more than $100,000 in two years and is on track for an early retirement.
Sean found that one of the best ways to start building wealth is to save small amounts of money every day - he started by saving $5 a day and is now saving about $100 a day.
His calculations reveal that if you save and invest $30 a day, earning a 7% rate of return, you can be a millionaire in 30 years.
Built over four thousand years ago, The Great Pyramid of Giza stood as the tallest structure in the world until 1311. (That's a run that makes the Empire State Building's 40-year reign seem like a blip…)

The construction used over 2.3 million slabs of giant granite blocks, each one cut with amazing precision.

Just how ancient civilizations managed the construction is a mystery that's perplexed scientists for centuries. Some say the pyramid is actually an eroded mountain. Others claim it's part of the Lost City of Atlantis or evidence of extraterrestrial help from Ancient Aliens.

But here's the most likely scenario, and the one most historians agree on: 30,000 skilled laborers worked tirelessly, dragging the granite up ramp after ramp, slowly hoisting the stones hundreds of feet in the air. Day in and day out, for over 20 years.

That our minds have trouble imaging this mostly likely scenario isn't all that surprising, because we do the exact same thing with our money goals every day.


The small stuff adds up
One of the first finance books I ever read was David Bach's Automatic Millionaire. In it, he explains the idea of The Latte Factor.

The Latte Factor is the concept that tiny amounts of money could add up to huge amounts of savings over time. True to the name, the classic example is a $5 cup of coffee each morning.

Read more: I've saved nearly $270,000 at age 28, and I'm convinced the key to growing your net worth is spending less on 3 things

As David explains, if that same $5 was instead invested and earned the stock market's historical return of 7% per year, our luxury coffee drinker would have an extra $1,953 after just one year.

And after 40 years?

Wait for it…


$389,837!

Just from a few coffees!

I immediately found the idea fascinating. And as a money blogger chasing total financial freedom, of course I wanted to figure out how much I'd have to save per day to reach my ultimate goal: a $1 million dollar portfolio and an early exit from the rat race.

The 30 for 30 Rule: How saving $30 a day will make you a millionaire
I plugged the numbers into my financial calculator over and over, and yet the result was always the same.

All it takes to become a millionaire is to save just $30 a day (that's assuming the stock market's historical 7% rate of return). Over and over again.

I don't know about you, but I immediately found this incredibly relieving. I'd be intimidated if the only path to wealth was a lucky break, a brilliant business idea, or a Powerball victory.


But $30 a day? Anyone can save $30 a day!

30 for 30 rule money wizard
The Money Wizard
$30 a day is as simple as passing on a dinner out, driving a cheaper car, or even working a couple extra hours at a low-paying job.

And if cutting back isn't your style, I just finished a step-by-step strategy showing how anyone can side hustle an extra $11,207 next year .

What do you know… that's a perfect $30.70 a day!

"Sure, Money Wizard, but 30 years is a loooong time…"
Here's the great part about The Latte Factor and The 30 for 30 Rule: It's a starting point.


Because I promise you, once you open your eyes to the incredible compounding effect of your money, you'll find yourself looking to up your savings wherever you can.

I started out inspired by the idea of saving $5 a day. Before I knew it, I'd upped that saving to $10, then $20 a day.

Eventually, I hit the magic $30 a day. And then I asked myself, "Why not fast track this path to a million?"

Read more: I've saved enough at age 28 that I'll be a multimillionaire by retirement, and I used Warren Buffett's favorite investing strategy to do it

So I started cutting costs where I could, and working relentlessly to increase my income. Before I knew it, I was saving $40, $50, and $60 a day.

And last year? I saved a whopping $35,000. That's nearly $100 a day.


Invested in a mix of index funds, that was enough to grow my net worth from $158,000 to $231,000 in one year. (You can see my net worth tracked every month here .)

oney doesn't have to be as complicated as the pyramids - because the secret to success is easier than you think
The pyramids weren't built by Ancient Aliens, and millionaires don't have to get lucky.

A little bit of effort, over and over again, is all it takes to build serious wealth.

"You don't set out to build a wall. You don't say 'I'm going to build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever been built.' You don't start there. You say, 'I'm going to lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid.' You do that every single day. And soon you have a wall." - Will Smith

thanks for sharing this....

it was very helpful

maternal:
See pipe dream. Everything na business,business,business. Not everyone is business inclined. She already said she tried doing business and failed miserably. The truth is if you don't have a "business" in naija you're mostly likely screwed. And business is really a code word for "just find something to do instead of being idle". You have people talking about all this untapped African potential, how one can make millions, blah..blah.. yet they're there in America. Why not comeback and grab all these millions ? It takes years for a business to get off the ground and start being extremely profitable. The truth is most businesses fail.

And people think if she lands in naija today, the person hosting here will continue to give her free food, shelter, etc ? Watch how fast that 3k she saved up goes. Then on top of that, things she didn't have to pay for in America like her kids school fees, she'll now have to start paying out of pocket. Despite being a single mother of 2, the truth is she's living better than most average Nigerians in Nigeria. That job she's working now under the table pays her on time and in dollars. She enjoys good road, constant electricity, police, running water, etc. That's all gone once you enter naija. And people keep on saying she doesn't have access to benefits in America. And what government benefits will she have when she lands in naija ?

I still say try the Canada route. If not, stay in America until your caught. Just keep on stashing your dollars.

you have spoken well

Misterdhee1:
Easy on paper sir. Come to Nigeria and face the bitter realities.

Yea yea
easy on paper

mrphysics:
Honestly. Majority of them are living in Lagos slums. I just pity the op. I prefer living in Abuja than being in her kind of America. I know many people will come for this comment but even while in Nigeria, i make on average $1k monthly aside my well paying Job and a car I kept in uber than brings N120k/month (30k/week).

Nigeria will remain my abode. With the money in my account, I can go to any country because i can fund it but then, I prefer Naija. Not going to anywhere I will be spending money while my days are counted like those with prison sentence.

good for you

But majority will still flee the Nigerian jungle as the years go by

even those of a higher financial standing than you are processing express entry et al

life is about choice tho

do what you think is best for you

AlhajaChinyere:
Rubbish!
RUBBISH!!!

Rubbish mentality and line of thought. What about the burden on society and our world?

Does he have the money to take care of the next generations. Nigeria is a terrible place because of lack of birth control and sensible culture of bearing children. People having children carelessly without any thoughts for life supporting infrastructure which are very absent in our jungle society. The governments (state, federal and local) do not even know the size of the population and their distribution......

Nonsense mentality.

nonsense mentality I tell you

NIGERIA is not building supporting infrastructures to support our exploding population

where will the new generation live

What resources are on ground to support them?


Africa is a cursed continent and we don't even know

not too long ago, I was watching how the U.S. govt released how climate change will affect America over the decades to come in EACH region, and they have started taking measures TODAY to forestall an occurrence decades later


But this $hithole ?

airsaylongcon:
Dunno why people are beefing. Agbero is like the Mafia. You become a Godfather in the Mafia and get all the good things in life. Man worked hard to rise to the top. Let him enjoy the benefits thereof.

just look at what this one is saying

and Buhari is the good and best leader? God pity this country and his ppl

I dey tell you

anigold:
when my brothers in the north and west have already made up their minds to vote in Buhari again because someone wants to become President come 2023...
Voting in Nigeria is purely based on tribal sentiment not in performance..

sad but true

stefanjaeger:
Potent advise! The likes of Ortom, Saraki, Dino, Yahaya Bello, Ganduje, Tambuwal et al. Some of them has even activated their self automated destroyer button that will retire them finally by the end of February 2019. As for Buhari he retires in active politics after 2023.

they should all retire in 2019
Buhari has to b sacked too

Gerrard59:
Your definition of romance is different from how the average Nigerian nay African sees it. Our theory of romance is different, which is why when Paris is mentioned as the romantic capital of the world, I'm bewildered.

"Love" in the real sense of it is non existent in the "default mode " of Africans

it is those of us exposed to other cultures and world views that even consider the concept

Marriage and relationships in Africa issa big scam


that's all

prigoz:
If a man doesn't give his wife money, money, money, money, also he should not demand change from her wife anytime he gives her money. No money no love in African setting, if you want to emulate oyibo culture, na you sabi

kingspeter42:
with all this men Nigeria is still one of d poorest nation in world what a pity

so sad tho

Op is quoting old Forbes rating. Only Aliko, Adenuga and Alakija are worth more than $1bn by 2018 Forbes list.
