plendil: Stay away from supplements. Apart from not having any proven benefit, they are a waste of money (being qiute expensive as most would know), and can actually be harmful, especially the very high protein and/or steroid containing supplements.

RoyPCain: whoever is advising the nigerian treasury [foreign reserve] to convert usd to chinese rembi does not know how usa can sink china in just one huge financial operation, be it merely currency swap or trade as in projection. chinese and their currency cant be trusted. both lack proven records.


if nigeria needs currency other than usd, it should be the bps, a currency that is old enough as mother of usd and america will never go against britain, while it [bps] does hold steady not only against usd, but other currencies, including other valuables like gold, silver, etc.

maybe somebody in the financial organs of nigeria is working hard to ruin nigeria more than she is already. if we had not changed so early in the 70s from pound sterling to naira, we would have held a better financial strength throughout the 1980s. it would have been difficult for babangida to think of allowing the free fall of naira in circa 1985. there were just a few wrong moves including the looters like diko and others who passed the reserves from one account to another starting from mid 70s for the overnight interests. these and other few unregulated currency exchanges were what brought the collapse of the naira.

naira that was 1 to 2 usd in the 1970s is now 160 almost to 1 usd. each time i think about this, its difficult to imagine how it happened with all the brain power and the can do attitude that typified the nation.

somebody needs to stand up and force some of the rulers into unexpected retirement. if you are not for nigeria and her citizenry, leave and dont pretend you love both. go back to your former life. i wonder will they not consider indian rupees if chinese rembi is good enough since both are emerging economies? this is a horrible decision by those that are deciding to do it. no one wants chinese currency. no one that knows currency that is.

stagger: I laugh in Chinese. All central banks hold their foreign reserves in several currencies, and the CBN is no exception. The CBN probably only wants to increase the size of its RNB holdings and scale down its USD foreign reserves.

The topic of the thread is grossly misleading.

godofphysics: bros nor mind my character jare. Actually, d tin dey shark me on top nairaland(bcoz of 1 person like dat) but e nor too shark me 4 real life(cos i've been to an higher institutn b4).

anonimi: Don't you think we should stop giving ourselves REDUNDANT excuses in the face of glaring evidence to the contrary
China was colonised terribly by Japan, was a destination for cheap labour a few decades ago. They invested massively in FUNCTIONAL, CREATIVE education and now export jobs to other countries such as Ethiopia in Africa because the general Chinese labour is no longer cheap.
India is gradually on that track too.
These countries and other SE Asian tigers were not bombed.
Ghaddafi gave Sarkozy money for his presidential campaign. That did not stop him from leading the international alliance to help the Libyan people eject Ghaddafi from his presidential palace. Any sensible foreign partner knows it must align with the people's wish if it wants to continue engaging profitably with the country's leaders.
You don't row your boat against the tide!!!
QED.

The "global capitalists" have moved to newer places such as Bangladesh, Vietnam etc for cheap labour. It is up to their governments (i.e. their people) to decide to suffer and invest in education so that in future they will not be slaves still to the "global capitalists".

jumbotron: Sir, you do not need to say much more. You have said it all. We complement each other. I say it everyday, I bless God for the men in my family and my husband. These are men that understand the concept of each party bringing something to the table. As a man, you lose out by allowing societal pressure to make you feel as if a woman should be inferior to you. Both parties are important for the society to run efficiently. We all have our stereotypical flaws. None is more superior than the other. It is refreshing to see some men understand this. God bless you Sir.

haibe: These days when people ask me "What level are you now?"
I reply "If not for the strike, I should be in my final year"

fsb: The simple truth is that the average nigerian is taught to cut corners and that reflects in everything we do whether it's in education, business, health care, government etc.

Aside cutting corners, we are also taught how to be selfish rather than selfless and that that is why every politician, civil servants, private employer or employee works not for the glory of the country but for the glory of his pocket alone.

I agree with the pilot, and with drbaby. Our problems as a nation stem from ideology ingrained in our minds as kids. If you raise a child with the notion that ibo people are bad or women from that tribe are prostitutes then all you you have succeeded in doing is transferring your small mindedness to your child and where 1,000,000 parents are teaching their kids such crap, what good can come from that generation?

dridowu: Hmmmm, black man can do better than the white but d manin issue is that we (black) need some positive orientation to achieve our optimal best.

haibe: If you mean kenneth ikenwa, then I must say he is one of the best lecturers in biz admin, that man dey lecture abeg and his lectures are very interesting.

But still, I prefer obiwuru anytime anyday to all unilag lecturers, my worst are those yeye finance lecturers like olowe and samuel.

Afrobeau: You sound like a typical Id*ot, black and white women in America are the fine ones, but then our women are the Village Mgbekes? I guess you've never lived abroad because I know a lot of fellow men who married those white chicks and akatas and are regretting their actions. One even told me he made a huge mistake which he won't like me to make.
