Read with your financial mind. CBN said BDC will sell dollar at a specified spread. How will that be possible if not that CBN will be the one giving them the dollar.

As at 3 years ago, CBN were giving BDCs dollars before they latter stopped.

And even at that, CBN found it difficult to control the prices at which BDC sell.

Where does the CBN hope to get the dollars to sell to BDC?

EngrKemp:
The real value of dollar to naira is less than N200.

The petroleum products import put lots of pressure on naira and constantly crashes it.

All past managers of nnpc in the last 20 years should face trial and persecution and all past petroleum ministers from 1999 till date should face sanctions and jail term .

Put our refineries in good shape and let us produce our own petroleum products..

Naira will bounce back to about N200 and the economy will become very productive.

Very simple economics 101 solution, but corrupt and lazy political elites make it sound like rocket science. How can you import over 70% of your energy (apart from importation of basic food items) and still expect your currency to appreciate.

Now if Nigeria is a sensible country we should turn Nigeria into an oil refining country instead of an oil (crude) exporting country. Since there is a huge demand for refined petroleum products and our neighbours are ready to buy petrol at what ever price. If the government like, let them increase petrol to N1000/litre, it will always get at least 30% more expensive in Benin Republic, Niger, Cameroon. Also piping gas to those countries which are less than 1000km from our huge gas reserves would make economic sense. I don't even see the need to pipe to Europe yet, piping to our immediate neighbours will fetch us billions of dollars. Imagine how much Russia makes from selling gas to its neighbours. Germany is betrothed to Russia today because of gas.

Troubles me he took time to see what we saw. Shows lack of integrity or lack of sound judgement or both.

The way I see it is that he is a true republican and was hoodwinked by Trump, just like millions of other true republicans. Another example is Mike Pence. Trump is the real rino, he has no republican ideals, he only cared about power and he only rode on the emotions of true republicans to get thar power. Have you ever heard of a non religious, non principled republican before? True republicans are the most religious and principled people in the world. They are often prepared to die for their principles.
True Republicans (outside of the extremist MAGA movement) like Barr, Pence, McConnell, etc., tolerated Trump as long as he implemented republican agenda ie anti abortion, anti-LBGTQ, science denyism, and most especially republican judges in the courts. Many republicans could not stand Trump's excesses and bailed out before the 2019 election. Lincoln project were republicans that opposed the re-election of Trump. I am sure they will be even more aggressive if Trump wins the republican nomination. Other republicans started opposing Trump after the elections, where Trump lost the election up to the supreme court, but attempted a coup to remain in power. Smooth transfer of power is the hallmark of US democracy and Trump almost disrupted that.

WonderMan76:
In that case then just say you agree with his message now but don’t call him “a really honest republican”.

The honest in my description is used to qualify his republicanism and not his personality per se. It means Bill Barr believed in republican ideals and not betrothed to Donald Trump as a member of his personality cult. He said he agreed to serve under Trump because he believed his republican ideas, but resigned when became too toxic after the 2019 elections.

If he were honest, and if the things he’s saying now are what he truly believes then he would have been saying it when he was in power.

How do you expect an appointee to be attacking his boss and still be in power? He did the most honourable thing and resigned.

I think he’s just doing what he believes is politically expedient for him now because the tides have turned. Trust me if Trump gets elected again, he will change his tune again. That’s politics for you.

Agreed in politics anything can happen. But remember he resigned. So what do you feel he needs political expediency for now? To be appointed AG once again?

In fact there is no such thing as an “honest politician” that phrase itself is an oxymoron.

Agreed, particularly when it comes to material and power gains, but then there can be an honest republican or democrat, who don't compromise on its core ideals.

Konji is no respecter of religious extremism, racism or class. Boko Haram ready to neck devil worshiper, snow white Nazis ready to nack negroids as black as charcoal and high class bourgeoisie ready to nack a homeless hobo, just to relieve konji.

You are wasting your time and energy responding to him. He talks like his life or livelihood depends on defending Trump. He stopped making sense a long time ago.

feedthenation:
Trump just canceled his “Major press conference” on Monday.

ABC News reported this morning that his lawyer warned him that spewing more lies about the election at the press conference can only complicate his legal problems

Just as we have seen saying all along - another Kraken.

WonderMan76:
I bet my last dollar you weren’t saying this when he was Trumps AG.

I can bet my last naira that you were right. But then people do have "Damascus Road experience", whereby their sense of guilt over rides their conscience.
why not attack the message instead of the messenger.

Good interview by Bill Barr on Trump indictments, Biden's investigations and current politics in general.

Barr is a really honest Republican.

5 trucks of rice for each state? I hope it is a 33 tonne truck. Now a 33 tonne truck carries 600 bags, so 5 multiplied by 600 is 3000 bags of rice.
Lagos with an estimated population of 20 million means each person will get 0.00015 bag of rice which is 7.5grams of rice or 100 grains of rice.

In effect each Lagos residence will get 100 grains of rice.

In reality it looks like the far left are looking to ignite a civil war. Started with Obama.
Zero grew the racial divide earning him a hall of fame entry as Divider in Chief.
It appears that they want America to be just that,. a normal third world country .

Civil war just because a black man (actually half blackman) became president? How did he grow the racial divide? Out of all the previous 44 presidents only the half black one would cause civil war? Its obvious the whites voted for a racist like Trump as a punishment for electing the first black president.
The Republicans are power hungry narcissists. Republicans cheated the democrats out of 2000 elections, they did not call for a civil war. The democrats narrowly lost the 2015 elections dispite winning the popular votes by 2.9 million votes, they did not call for a civil war.

Trump would lose again. He will refuse to conceed defeat and alleged the election was stolen once again. He will attempt another January 6 but this time more organized and more violent. He and his MAGA cult Members would be roundly defeated. Trump would spend the rest of his life in jail, after which he will be martyred by extreme MAGAs.

basilico:
Trump was elated by the support and love patriotic Americans were giving him.They trusted him and loved him to the chagrin of the left. Loved him so much that they laughed at the joke he made, saying they would stand by him even if he shot soneone
Anyone who has had literature classes know that he was saying this in jest.
Unlike you lefties who want to make it seem that his followers 75m are deplorables.

So Trump is now a jester or joker according to MAGAs.

I am expecting you guys to become full terrorists once Trump is convicted.

Amayabor1:
Hehehehe! Is that all you have to say? Trump the election thief will spend some time in jail.

I thought some of you said he won the election? All the courts threw out his case. He even lost at the supreme Court that has more Republican leaning judges. The Department of Justice said there was no evidence of election fraud. But clowns like you that live in one hole in Nigeria believed he won the election. Now, he is being charged to court for trying to alter georgia election result.

Una think say na him go give una Biafra abi?

Not only his Department of Justice, his family - Jared and Ivanka Trump did not accept the election fraud bullshit, even Fox admitted off camera that they did not believe the election fraud nonsense.

maestroferddi:
You think it is the senseless propaganda APC you people in APC use to deceive the unwary?

Where was the coup?

I don't want to believe that you are so minimalistic as not to know what a coup means...

I have provided you with the classic definition of a coup. What Trump did on Jan 6 meets the criteria for a coup.

Calitoscassius:
Some American were made to believe he is coup plotter, some Americans do not believe he is a coup plotter.


America is very divided, So many Americans supports Trump still. Joe Biden isn't a saint either.

It's not about what some Americans believe, its about the definition of what a coup is. The Oxford definition ofva coup is a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.
Please note the keywords of violent and unlawful.
Majority of Malians support the recent military coup in Mali, that does not make it less of a coup.

Trump attempted to stop the transfer of power to Joe Biden and retain power using violence and other unlawful means. That's a classic definition of a coup.

bemeruca:
wirinet is a very stupid person.

I hope I am safe. This one you are declaring a fatwa on anyone that insult Trump.

Calitoscassius:
Okay, i did make it clear that you don't have to agree with my opinions neither do have to agree with yours. I doubt if Trump will be jailed anyway, there have being speculations that if he is jailed it would even fuel a very unrest and more divided America.

Let's wait and see!

If a coup plotter who plotted to overturn the results of an election and prevent the smooth transfer of power after an election would fuel unrest and divided America, then America deserves to be divided into two or more parts.

9jaBloke:
I actually like some of Trump's policies and it is within his rights to express dissatisfaction with the results of an election.

However, he overstepped with some inciting and unsubstantiated utterances that almost cost America its long established political stability.

You don't express dissatisfaction in an election by threatening the secretary of state (the election organiser) to find you votes.

You don't express dissatisfaction in an election by organising fake electors not represented by popular votes counted and approved by the State's legislature and executive, and scheme to replace them with the real electors.

You don't express dissatisfaction in an election by organising your supporters to distrupt the certification of results of an election and thus the declaration of the actual winner of the election.

You don't express dissatisfaction in an election by riling up your supporters to violence and put the lives of the Vice President in danger.
This speech is a call to violence no matter how MAGA cult Members tries to twist and turn it.

And we fight. We fight like hell And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
“All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing … We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”
“Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about … We will stop the steal.”
“Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong.”

The patriotic way to express dissatisfaction with the results of an election is through the court system anything other than that is a coup.

What will make the price fall? The fact that naira is losing value every week or the fact that price of barrel of crude oil may increase from the current price of 78 dollars?

If crude should dare rise above $100, we would be buying petrol above N1000, and that's not even considering the falling naira. No country and I repeat no country leaves its currency and energy to the vagaries of market forces at the same time. Economic thrives on stability. That's what enable entrepreneurs to make long term decisions. No entrepreneurs will invest in an economy with price fluctuations of currency and energy costs every day.

Dear Esteemed Customers, We At NNPC Retail Value Your Patronage,And We Do Not Have The Intention to Increase PMS Pump Prices As Widely Speculated, Please Buy The Best Quality Products at The Most Affordable Price at Our NNPC Retail Station Nationwide.

This means there will still be subsidy on petrol. This is because importers cannot sell petrol at the same price when dollars is N920 now as against 2 months ago when dollars was still N750.

As the market price of diesel at N920 per dollar is N900, the market price of petrol should be between N800 - N900, because the market prices of petrol and diesel are not to wide apart.

simply22:
If he did mot make that call, the outcome would be different, but some people did not understand that. When you read people's comment, you just shake your head.
Even the revving up of his supporters on Jan. 6 and sending them to the Capitol was terrible. If his Vice, Pence, had been hurt or any of the Legislators had been killed on that day, may be people would be able to see the seriousness of what the man did on that day. It was very, very serious.

You think MAGAs have the capacity to think logically when it comes to Trump? Even Trump himself acknowledge how hypnotised his followers are when he openly declared that he could shoot someone on 5th avenue in Broad day light, and his MAGA supporters will still cheer him. If Pence had been killed, they would have blamed antifa, Pelosi or the deepstate. Someone that rapes women and admits to raping women in public and his MAGA cult member are still supporting him, and in fact hailing him. Nothing Trump can ever do that would make extreme MAGA criticise him.

lanrefront1:
I said it, you're clueless because u just watch cnn. Because it's CNN that keeps saying there is no evidence.

Meanwhile there solid undeniable evidence about Joe and hunter Biden's corruption. Infact the evidences are so much they are overwhelming.

You've been brainwashed without even knowing it.

Try listening directly to the proceeding of the Judiciary Oversight Commitee instead of what CNN tells you

The one that James comer is always talking about smoke and fire and Jim Jordan always hoping to find something?

Which of them said he grabbed them by the pp? Accused you say.

E. Jean Carroll alleged he grabbed her by the pusšy in a store changing room. He was found liable in the court case and ordered to pay $5 million in damages.

hammerT:
Cococandy, i foresee civil war, if the witch hunt against trump dont end or anything happen to him.


When a man can face so much charges and still be in the leading poll, speaks volumes about the disposition of the nation.

Civil war because of one criminal? Mexico did not fight civil war when El Chapo was captured like a Bush meat. Colombia did not fight civil war when Pablo Escobar (who incidentally was the most powerful man in Colombia) was jailed. It is a common criminal like Trump that will now plunge US into a civil war because he is the leader of the MAGA cult.

bemeruca:
Trump use the word grab EM by the pp... Who is them? Was he talking about a specific person? No one has ever reported trump for grabbing them by the pp.

Trump went on to say when you are celeb, they let you do anything. This is true. It's also true for a popular guy in school. It's a locker talk

Only thicko's don't get this.

Dude, get a life... Stop living on nairaland

Bare faced and open lies. MAGAs can lie more than the devil itself. Over 25 women have come out to accuse Trump of rape/sexual assault.
You want to tell us you have never heard of Jean Carroll and Jessica Leeds?

No reasonable lady will allow you to grab her by the pp just because you are a celeb. That's your classic definition of rape (unconsented penetration). Obviously you guys are perverted.

Grabbing them by the pp has landed many celebrities in jail in both US and Europe including many Nigerian footballers.

FDA last week at last did at last declare that doctors can prescribe Ivermectin to treat COVID-19.
They can do that now because Fauci:
Lied about ivermectin
Lied vaccines reduce spread
Lied on gain of function funding n knowledge to China WIV killer lab

Many of you empty headed liberals took us down on claims bout ivermectin. You called it a horse paste, not effective. In other words, you regurgitated leftie crap.


I finally get my reprieve after posting so much about ivermectin here. We were right all long, many chose to believe evil Fauci and his media.

I expect class action lawsuits. Doctors were fired, others called witchdoctors because they prescribed Ivermectin or HCL.
You believed the lying media, Some liberals here lack brains to think.

I'll not have my victory lap yet. Tht will come when Joe Brandon election is confirmed as stolen as
I have insisted.
I'm always proven right in the end.p
I take this opportunity to shame some fools here.

More science denyism. A statement from a lawyer is not a substitute for clinical tests and approval by FDA.

There is no way an antiparasitic drug can cure a viral disease. Biology doesn't work that way. Malaria drug can never cure hepatitis. Only antiviral drugs can cure virus diseases and antibacterial drugs can cure bacterial disease. A year one Biology student will know that.

Why have you MAGA cult member not question why Trump was not treated with Ivermectin or HCL when he came down with Covid19? He even has Dr. Demon sperm as member of the MAGA cult, and he did not use her. Instead he used new and scientifically proven medicine with qualified doctors.
Trump is same with Nigerian con artist parading themselves as men of God. When they need money they ask their own member to pay tithes, donate and sow seeds, but when members need financial help, the Pastors advice them to fast and pray, and still ask them to pay tithes, donate and sow seeds.

MentalCase98:
You are honestly a fool despite the size of that your head.

Let me tell you this FACT of life; Men talk dirty about women in private ALL the time. It’s a guy thing, an Ego thing. That’s how men try to impress each other when they are in private; by taking about their sexual conquests, often using vulgar language and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s PRIVATE talk.

That you don't see something wrong with talking about female and female sexual organs in a derogatory manner betrays your values and that of MAGA cult Members.

Let me correct that warped mindset. Not all men talk dirty about women and their sexual conquests. It's an irony that those who pretend to promote family values, religious values, anti abortion, premarital sex, etc., are the same people boasting about sexual conquests and vulgar language.
If that was said by a teenager, I would understand the need to boast to impress his peers, but a full married man gunning for to be the leader of a country, that's indefensible.

It would only be wrong if a man uses that language in public or directly to a woman. When Trump made those comments he was UNAWARE that he was being recorded. He thought he was just talking to a fellow man.

Whether aware or unaware he is being recorded, it betrays his depraved mindset. I would never grab any woman by the pusšy nor boast of having ever done it. I

Lie to me that if you were secretly recorded everyday of your life, you wouldn’t have a few embarrassing comments too?
You know what, you probably wouldn’t because you’re a total soy boy. I wouldn’t be surprised if you’ve never seen a woman’s nakednes before. They tend not to even like men like you. They usually go for the guys who privately talk like Trump did in that audio all the time. That’s the great irony here.

I am embarrassed at your view point. Personally I believe men that always boast of their sexual prowess are hollow, they've got no action. The real stallions don't make noise. They allow their conquests make the noise for them. Stormy Daniels testimony on Trump's sexual prowess is more revealing than any boasting by Trump.

Throne of his brother, king david?? Lol... u dont even know the story enough to know who is david ...
From ur chat..I can see u can read and write..
But u want me to show u a chapter u can google urself without...baba.....read the story urself and have ur opinion....opinion is free

I meant to write his king Solomon. Obviously, you should know his brother is king Solomon and not king David, his father.
Oya, I have corrected my self answer the question.

immortalmortal:
That's treason. Those days it was considered a treasonable offence if you slept with the king's wife or concubines or anyone the king has obviously slept with, let alone marriage.

But king Solomon eventually ended up marrying Abishag, his father's concubine, do you consider that treason?

advanceDNA:
Where ìn my comment did i say it is acceptable today..??

Killed for Asking for wife....?? Please go and read ur bible well if u have one and dont know the story.... he was killed for treason...he forcefulky took the throne with a sitting king still alive...

Adonija was murdered for treason? Please show me how he forcefully took the throne of his brother king Solomon.
I dey fear you people o. You are no different from ISIS.

chukkystar:
see ba, in the old Israel culture Kingship was also a popularity thing, reason why Saul hated David and why Absalom almost took David's throne while he was alive. David was a well respected King but He never announced His successor in public, He told only His Priest and His Wife Beersheba. If Adonijah had gotten David's Concubine as a Wife, He would use it as a tool to increase His popularity amongst the Israelites and also to make claim that He was the rightful heir given that He was the oldest son of king David. It is also to be Mentioned that Solomon had a love Hate relationship with many parts of Israel which is why immediately He died they broke off from His Son Rehoboam and left the Bloodline of David to rule Judah..

What you are positing still makes no sense. King David had numerous wives and concubines, so what made Abishag special that she determined who would be King? From the story, we are not even sure of the relationship between Abishag and King David. Some say she was brought in to warm is body and bed, but it was said she remained a virgin, meaning King David had not defiled/raped her.
As I said, King David had already been installed as King, I does not make sense that people will demand a change of Kings because one of King David's son married one of his concubines or wife.

Adonijah did not marry Abishag, defiled her or even approached her, instead he asked for permission from the king (his brother). His brother could have said no, then that's should have been the end of it. If Adonijah had gone ahead and had sexual relations with Abishag after David's refusal, then he would have had a point in murdering his brother, but he just became blood thirsty and murdered an innocent man.
