Foreign Affairs / Re: Mali, Burkina Faso Deploy Warplanes In Niger After Fresh ECOWAS Threat by Ventura1: 9:43pm On Aug 19, 2023
So, are they deploying all the few armed drones they have to defend Niger, thereby leaving themselves defenceless? They are just bragging unnecessarily, if each out of the 15 ECOWAS countries planning the military intervention donated just two, it will overwhelmed all the three countries.

The coup leaders are obviously clueless. They knew they start a crisis they cannot sustain, and still proving stubborn even to the extent of denying a joint UN/AU/ECOWAS delegation to visit Niamey.

I'm so sorry for them to have believe the failed cheerleading group from Nigeria.

Family / Re: My Brother In-law Is Making Advances At Me by Ventura1: 3:57pm On Aug 13, 2023
Don't report him directly, look for a movie that re-enact such actions, and watch with your husband whenever he's back, then start a conversation around it, expressing serious worry about it, while emphasizing on the fact that nobody is immune to it, that it better both of you prevent it. Give suggestions and hammer on it.

Nataliace:
The younger brother to my husband occasionally comes to visit us. My husband takes good care of him and support his business dealings.

He trusts his brother that he can travel for weeks leaving us together.

Recently my brother in-law's movement towards me changed.

He sometimes rub his hands on my back as if he was just being friendly. He made strange and unusual move towards me several times and I was uncomfortable with that.

I warned him that if he doesn't stop I will report to my husband.

My husband travelled last week and his brother has begun his behaviors of unexpectedly touching my body and showing up in my room or just following me to the kitchen whenever I am preparing meal.

I thought of reporting to his brother but I don't want to be the reason they will be enemies for life.

How do I stop him so this remain between two of us?

This is sincerely becoming unbearable.

Politics / Will Nigerians Allow Government Policies To Work? by Ventura1: 4:05am On Aug 11, 2023
From my inbox :

Will Nigerians Allow policies to Work?
My experience yesterday at First Bank, oba Akran, Ikeja makes me thinking. I was there yesterday to collect a few dollars sent into my domiciliary account by my son am helping to supervise his building. I was at the bank to collect 3.5k dollars but was told that they have only 5dollar bills. what can I do with that and who will change it for me? I asked the lady at the desk when they will have for me to come back or can't the bank change it to Naira for me since they are expected to buy and sell according to what we heard. She said she doesn't know but why can't I transfered the money to a bureau de change that will give me the naira equivalent. I said I don't know any? Immediately a man strategically positioned beside me said he owns one and that I should transfer to his acct and he will transfer at 850 naira per dollar to my naira acct Immediately. I was afraid but to my surprise the lady at the counter assured me that I will not be duped, that i will receive the alert immediately. I quickly reduced the amount to be collected to 1k incase there is problem. Within 5minutes the transfer was done.

Why my story? I think the intention of government is that the bank should buy and sell dollar so that exchange rate will not be left in the hands of speculators. Why are banks officials now using intermediaries to decide exchange rate instead of their normal bidding with central bank?. The man is always sitting comfortably in the bank making deals that does not have receipts on behalf of corrupt bank officials. With this, It might be difficult to have single exchange rate with all these underground deals. Definitely dollars will continue to be on the rise this way. Government always have good ideas but implementation is the problem because of our greed and less respect for laws. PBAT will now be labeled wicked because what is expected to be achieved will not be realized.
I hope this post will reach those concerned and banks should be monitored.
Thanks.

Barrister Uzukwu Patrick Eze writes:

A few weeks back, a friend based in Portharcout asked me to pick up 20k dollars from someone, convert the funds to Naira, and transfer the proceeds to his account. Innocent me, I walked into a branch of my bank at Ojuelegba and requested them to buy the 20k off me in line with the new CBN policy. It was like I was speaking Greek to them. They'll rather prefer they introduce an 'Aboki' to me who will credit my account and pick up the dollars from me. That was what exactly happened. The branch manager personally conducted the transaction. He brought the 'mallam' who credited my account, and I handed over the forex to him in the managers office. The entire Nigeria is a big crime zone. Banks and bankers are behind a lot of organised crimes in the country. No wonder very beautiful government policies that work in other climes fail here.
Politics / Re: How Evil CBN Policies Are Reason For The Poor Value Of The Naira by Ventura1: 3:46pm On Aug 10, 2023
The question should be what is consuming the FX inflow in the country?
What are the products and services demanding USD for import? Should the government restrict them from accessing FX in the market?

Just like wale Edun said, their is huge backlogs of unmet FX demand, and all of them are in the market.

There is a local govt in Ogun state whose communities have never seen electricity for the past 100years. It is called Yewa local govt.

The community is about 50 in numbers and that should concern u more than anything else.

Don't mind those claiming education, how has the children of Nigeria elites that school abroad performed? Despite the education, Why are the western nations seeking our trained graduates for employment. People are greedy and lack contentment
chynergy1:

many of us also studied abroad, many schools in nigeria are excellent as well.
many have lost their children to western vices.
the last motivation to go back there, for me personally, is given my children better education.

So sad, but one of our problem as Nigerian is the thought that everything not functioning only happens in Nigeria.
Things like this do happen even in so called advance countries, was it that there was no blood at all or her blood type is not available.
