all this are old school finance.
people have managed to work their way out of this system.
if we don't compromise on the other end, the result is what our economy is facing.

I trade forex and I can boldly tell you that that is what major economy are into. I follow major economic news and I'm well informed on this.

Igbochief001:
If that guy understand what printing money is he won't say rubbish

Federal government just robbed nigerians 60 billion in broad daylight and he is here talking rubbish

Does he think naira is actually money in the real sense ? Naira is only reference to the dollar that's all ...

he doesn't know. You can see that clearly from his post, I'm only engaging him for the sake of those he may misinform

Igbochief001:
Tell me this is a joke

it's a big joke. A huge misinformation

Amaechi2023:
it can only be catastrophic when the printing becomes excess.
millions in this country are being stashed and irrecoverable.
instead of fighting I'm court endlessly, why not print other currencies in place of those stashed currencies?
Zimbabwe currency is still stronger than the naira.
so rather than cite examples, why not look for the main cause.
1 trillion naira wouldn't cause any inflation in the economy.
enough of all these impracticable finance that is not realistic.
under buhari era in 2015 when border were closed, importation reduced but instead of our currency to gain value, it lost.
same thing during the covid 19 pandemic.
e be like say una dey enjoy as oyinbo the use una catch cruise abi??

that's not how it works. If money is been stashed at homes/banks andy ou want it in circulation simply change the interest rate. Positive interest rate encourages saving, while negative discourages people from saving.

Amaechi2023:
truth is many graduate of finance and economist don't really understand the financial system..
the economic explanation of finance is not a practical reality.
inflation is the constant increase in price of goods and services, but here in Nigeria inflation only happens when the naira looses its value to dollar.
Most people claiming printing of currency would trigger inflation are only doing so because their textbook told them so.
they've all lost the ability to think and innovate ways out of trouble.
today in Nigeria goods and services are being supplied in excess but no money to purchase those services.
people are filled with ideas to help the country but lack the resources to do so.
people are willing to work for lesser salaries but their organization that are producing are not generating enough income to even pay lesser salaries.
money should be relatively scarce not hyper scarce.
I encourage the govt to print as much money as possible to match the current inflation rate in the economy so people can be paid higher salaries and afford commodities being sold.

you should read about government that printed money to inject into the economy, the overalleffect was catastrophic. Please start with zimbabwe

Why is the federal Government not saying the truth, are they trying to turn Nigeria to Zimbabwe?

Central Bank of Nigeria (@cenbank) Tweeted:
The concept of printing of money is about lending money and that is our job...It will be irresponsible for the CBN or any Central Bank or Fed to stand idle and refuse to support its government at a time like this. #Emefiele https://twitter.com/cenbank/status/1382991152291397632?s=20

Promisepikin:
They sleep in their parents room and am the only adult around them

Oops! Is the parents that are responsible, its possible they were carried away by their love making and forgot the son was watching a live porn

What? Do the kids have their own room(s)? Do the go into other people's room(s)? Is there another adult that comes/stays around eg house help, lessons teacher or your friends?
Are they visiting other relatives?

At age 4 that child is too innocent for that kind of sexual acts. So, somehow he is been sexually exposed by someone. It could be that he saw the parents doing it without them knowing or an outsider is the perpetrator.

From what you said its normal for her to ask you that question, since the kids stay with you a lot. Don't take the whole thing personally, knowing that you're innocent should help your self esteem.

Chinese customs officers have made the world’s biggest seizure of human organs in history this morning, a total of 7,221 joysticks of African origin hidden in a refrigerated freight container, according to World Daily News Report.
Acting on information from an anonymous informer, Chinese officers found the organs in 36 boxes labelled as plantains (cooking bananas) inside a refrigerated container on a ship harboured in the Shanghai Port.
Chinese General Administration of Customs spokesman, Li Wu, says an increasingly large number of armed groups in Africa use organ trafficking to finance themselves, making such seizures predictable.

“These organs are common commodities now, but they were certainly harvested in unsanitary conditions or contaminated at some point, so we can’t let them out on the Chinese market.”
Mr. Li says the organs were shipped from Lagos in Nigeria but may have only transited through that country and could possibly originate from elsewhere in Africa.



“We know that joysticks from Lybia and Sudan fetch a higher price than those from other African war zones, but can’t presume of their origin before the end of the investigation,” he said.

The Chinese General Administration of Customs says similar seizures may become more common over the next few years as armed groups in Africa turn to organ trafficking to finance their military operations.

Human joysticks were seized in nine cases since 2002, but today’s find represents more than four times the amount seized by customs officers over the past 18 years.

Describing the organ’s value as high as illegal drugs, he said that “specimens of this size” usually fetched around $160,000 each on the black market,  and its total value was more than $1.15 billion.

BigCabal:
For five years now, I have tried denying the fact that someone posted pictures of my dad’s body in his casket on Facebook, and he captioned it: “Vanity upon vanity.” This person isn’t a family member, but he felt it was okay to take these photos and share them on Facebook for everyone to see.

***

My father was a very responsible man. He had a successful military career and a great stint as a two-time special adviser, but he battled with one thing: alcohol addiction. Often, our loved ones go through difficult things we have no idea about. Usually, these things hide in plain sight. Sometimes, we love them so much that we see it, and other times, that same love blinds us, keeping us blissfully unaware of their struggles.

With my father, I think it was a mix of both: love that helped us see him, and love that blurred our vision. We were uninformed about the addiction; we loved him so much that we could not address it. And to be fair, we never had to address it. Though he drank a lot, he never lost his cool, and the drinking was a part of his life that he kept separate. But you can only keep an addiction a secret for so long.

The first time I became aware that my father had a problem was the day I found, in his library, books about addiction and how to fight them. That day, I saw that he had acknowledged the problem and was willing to fight it.

***

One night, my dad and mom went out. When they returned, he was in physical pain. He was vomiting and could barely walk, he had to be carried to the hospital. After days of testing and treatment, it was confirmed that my dad had Type 2 Diabetes. Everyone thought it was hereditary because my grandfather had that same illness. But those who were close to my father knew it had to have been the alcohol.

And yet, despite how much my father struggled to quit, he always failed. He drank until his diabetes led to a heart problem and then liver failure. I and my mom didn’t think he would die because money for treatment was never the issue. But one day, inside the intensive care unit of LUTH, my dad had a heart attack. And just like that, he was gone.

***

Grieving him was the next stage for me and my siblings. I was the closest to my dad and even though I was hurt, I spent a lot of days in pure denial. I was happy, bubbly, and people that came to console us were confused about this level of ‘normalcy.’ That was the only sane period we had before my father’s family came around and scattered everything.

My father’s family members are proper assholes. Planning his funeral showed me that. As soon as my father’s death was announced, I launched into alert mode. I was 16, and I remember hiding my mom’s wedding certificates, the land documents and other receipts because family will always be family. And they stayed true to character. The moment they arrived, they let us know they were broke. They didn’t stop at that. They made inquiries about my father’s properties, and even though I had gained admission to study Law by then, one of them asked me if I could consider working as a house help.

The military handled the funeral cost and we had to bury him at home because we didn’t want to fight about the property with his siblings. My father was buried in front of the house. We tried to convince them to bury him in the backyard, but apparently, it’s against Yoruba customs to do that. My mom’s room faces the part where his grave is. She no longer opens the curtains in that area. It hurts a lot to see your father buried in a place you used to call home with him. But what hurts, even more, is seeing people treat that part of the house as a taboo. I have a complicated relationship with the gravesite. Sometimes, I don’t want to go home because it is the first thing I see. And sometimes when I am alone in the house, I go there to sit and just talk to him. Doing that brings me peace.

***

But let’s go back to his funeral and how his family members put on the greatest drama since Fuji’s House of Commotion. During that funeral, my dad’s youngest sibling had a fainting spell that was easily cured with a can of Malt. One of his younger sisters fought because of party packs and Jollof rice, and yet these people didn’t drop a dime.

I should let you know that my dad’s siblings are educated. And I mean Masters level education, so to see them act like this was beyond all of us. At some point, my dad’s sister asked us (again), about my dad’s properties and said my siblings and I should send our account numbers. That was the end of it. To date, I haven’t seen any of them, and that’s fine with me.

A few weeks after the burial, we found out that someone carted away all my dad’s wristwatches, about twenty-something designer pieces, and perfumes. His designer shoes and shirts, all of them gone. Even his car battery.

***

After the funeral, tensions cooled down. It was then that my siblings and I came to accept the truth that we were now fatherless. Our lives would definitely have to change. One day, I was bored and I remembered how much my dad loved Facebook. While he was alive, we blocked him, but now that he was late, I wanted to see what he used to post about.

I couldn’t find his account, so I ran a general name search. The first thing that showed up was my dad’s body in his casket with the caption, “This world is vanity upon vanity.”

At first, I was shocked. There was my father’s body, laid bare for the Internet, a world of strangers, to see. Why would someone do that to him? Why show him at his most vulnerable? I closed the page and I never returned to Facebook.

Later, I found out who posted it: one of the guys that used to perform with the live band my family used at our events. I never mentioned this to anyone. Not even my brothers.

***

Forget all they say about Igbos and their burial rites, Yoruba culture isn’t any better.

My mother couldn’t leave the house for 42 days. She wasn’t supposed to watch TV for that 42 days too. We, her kids, were told not to sleep on the same bed or on the same couch with her because it would affect our luck. She was only fed ogi (pap) and eko for a long time, and she had to use different plates and cups, not the general plates at home.

She was supposed to wear black for one year. No makeup or partying for the whole year, and she had to seek express permission from her in-laws to stop wearing black, or dark clothing after one year, and then the clothes she wore were burnt.

As her children, we were also not allowed to see our friends off because, according to the family, it would bring bad luck.

My father’s family held on to these ‘customs’ so much. Once, I asked them if a man whose wife died would be put through the same thing. They said no, a man was to mourn for just 3 months because he’s a provider or something like that.

***

The military never paid my father’s pension. In fact, some members of the pension board issued a death threat to my mother when she tried to push the issue.

***

I no longer communicate my emotions properly. I hate pity, and at that point in my life when I lost my father, pity was the only thing everyone wanted to give me.

I remember now, how a close family friend called us immediately after my dad’s funeral.

“You all should remain close to each other now,” he said.

“Yes, sir.”

“And, please, be vigilant oh. You know how your father’s siblings can be.”

“Yes, sir.”

And then he called me to one side and said, “Take it upon yourself to ensure that your siblings stay away from alcohol, you hear?”

“Yes, sir.”

“Always talk to them oh.”

“Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.”

This man had good intentions, but the entire conversation was poorly timed. And yes, I was so scared of alcohol but life works in mysterious ways.

Now, I outdrink everyone in my family.

Your writing skills is too perfect for someone who's writing from the position of pain. I stopped reading when I saw diabetes. I don't consume what depresses me.

Another unrealistic expectation from the OP. Whoever wants to cheat would, and it has nothing to do with whoever in been cheated on, whatever the cheater says are just excuses. Don't go about begging for love. Whoever loves you would respect you enough and be faithful to you.

Don't settle for less, and don't believe you can change anybody. If, someone changes is their choice and nothing do to with you.

I'm coming, let me read the post again.
Edit:
I'm done reading but unfortunately I have nothing to say.

pozehnani:
The only way you can know is by dumping her first. Then see if things will go south for you.

that would be a good experiment. Lol

Kriss216:
The bride-to-be need to stand by her man. That's what love is all about. She should pray for God to change her man.

really? Well, that's one way to see it. Your been conservative with your opinion. Personal I can forgive but, I can never continue in that kind of relationship because trust wouldn't be there

A medical doctor, based in Imo state. Has been dating an undergraduate for three years. They decided to do an introduction about two months ago in Ajah, lagos. A date was fixed for the traditional wedding which is Tuesday, the 13th(next week) of this month, imo state.

The parents of the girl have all travelled to the village from lagos for the traditional wedding, and all the necessary arrangements ongoing.

The bride to be is a student in one of the high institutions in the same state. She came visiting the dude after her examinations, and saw him having intercourse with another lady. She took photos of them both and sent to her parents and siblings. Now she has called off the whole marriage thing.

My opinion is that she dodged a bullet by calling it quit. What's your take guys, do you think she's doing the right thing or she just been overly emotional?

Hmm! This is your opinion based solely on your own point of view. While I respect your right to an opinion, I 100% disagree with you, because your opinion lack facts and it just based on emotions and assumptions. Please this is misinformation.

There is something called chromosome, Google it and educate yourself more on what determines sex or gender.

Life is a race and most importantly....we all have our tracks,

Am 28, not even sure what am doing with my life. My cartel are all on money.... Like I said, we all have our tracks

that's true, we all have our own lane.

luminouz:
You guys see one another's nudes?

That's some weird stuff

well I don't expect you to understand. But I have seen my parents naked, I have seen my brothers and sisters naked. Once I'm home I take everything off, I live alone now. I only wear clothes in the room when I am cold, when someone is visiting or if I want to quickly dash out to get something. There was this Jehovah's witness people always bothering me, one day while naked i invited the lady and her companions in but to my greatest surprise they took to their heels seeing that I was naked.

The wife is not going about naked to outsiders she only does so when she is about bathing or changing into a new clothe, and sometimes rushing into the store/kitchen to pick one or two things

HUSTLER001:
My boss have asked her employees to either take the corona vaccine or resign. I didn't but I don't want to resign either. I'm expecting to get sacked and take up a legal suit. I still need advice though.

Not taking the Vaccine is your right, and you can Express your right in any way legal as you please. She also has her own right to choose those she want to work in her establishment is also her right. She has the right to terminate your appointment on the ground that you can jeopardize her worker's health. So, in all of it you're all expressing your right.

blazepascal:
yes just to prove to her I'm not an illiterate

It's alright, most people don't know that 'lack of spoken English is not a license' to abuse anyone. What matters most is effective communication

So, to prove you're an English student you had to form a fake foreign accent?

incogni2o:
I don't know why people see it as wrong.

Your Home for that matter, where you should all be freer than a bird.

Means she is free with both Him and the Kids.

I am sure when the Kids grow older ans she starts to sense thier conciousness, She'll naturally become more concerved.

Some Men are not even comfortable with bathing before an age mate. That's his palava, Abeg make free the madam joor,, He shouldn't force her to be like Him.

Does He think doing that will prevent them from going wayward? NEVER WILL, What he can just do is to educate and fortify them as a form of vacinating thier mind against what they'll eventually meet in the world.

my thought exactly, if you are ashamed of someone seeing you naked, allow who is not. Let him not project his insecurity on her. After all she isn't doing it in public but in her home, which I am sure she wouldn't do when an outsider is around.

TempUser:
Is that bad? it all depends on home training.

Many kids were protected from this but in the aftermath became worse. What I'd Eve didn't eat the apple?

some families keep their children from knowing what they ought to know pretending that some day, miraculously the knowledge would just appear in the children heads. Some would tell their children that the name of their penis/vaginal is peepee, tortorlitor etc. Even sex education they would not want to get involved

benson81:
I told him same thing but he said she did not comply.The worse is her younger bro who is in his late teens also sees her nudity.when he complained she said that's the way they lived in their family.

that's how we live in my family. Nothing evil in it

What's bad in it. I saw my mother naked several time. My brother have daughters and they have seen him naked times without numbers. I walk naked when I'm home. There is nothing in it. I remember those day when we do travel home during festive seasons. My cousin (a lady) takes me with her to the stream, you know what? the people I bath with were all women ranging from age 1 to about 40. I saw a lot of women with various shapes and sizes bathing naked. Also, in boarding school we bathed in groups. In all of it I never had a girlfriend till I graduated from the university.

samgborigi1:
I am a married guy who got married 3 years ago. I never had premarrital relationship. I had a couple of girl friends before I got married but no sex involved because of my christian background. I have a small slim penis which I wish could be longer fatter and bigger. Most of the time within 3-5 min already come. Many a time my wife will beg me not to come but before you know it I have come. I pity her most of the time. I want enjoy sex fully. Pls I need help. What can I do? I need practical advice. Which drugs or what can you guys recommend?

There is nothing wrong with you. You come quickly because you're new to sex, with time you will get use to it. What is affecting you is lack of experience, first round is usually shot but second last longer. Stop thinking about how long and just enjoy the sex. Go online and read more about sex. Learn how to use your fingers too.

I came across this and I felt like sharing it. In retrospect it calls for a few reflection on life in general. https://www.quora.com/What-are-some-ugly-truths-of-life/answer/Maxine-Adams-25?ch=3&share=756904ee&srid=u0xnJA
