Hides (leather from animals)
If a enforced ban of sales of it for consumption can b implemented.
Then it will generate lots of revenue and act as a template for our future animal husbandry gains.

50% of this hardship is been felt by people who whant to remain in the city by all means. people in the village are not feeling the impact like that. i bough 25kg mama gold rice today in jalingo with 6k even the market is flooded with tomatoes, pepper, and very cheap yam
Guy what is cheap compared to the prices last year or even at the beginning of the year.
Remember any package product is the same price everywhere and it's usually even costly when buying them outside Lagos / Ogun.
Then please is gas, kerosene or Petroleum cheaper in your location (village).

So people still think that the "price of things being too high is hoax".

Just wanted to keep my mouth busy, collected "coffee chewinggum"(its normal 5pieces inside but now it's slimmer), gave the seller N20. She just laughed and said she see that I am not in nigeria that the price is now N30.

PoliticsRe: Fuel At N145/litre No Longer Sustainable – NNPC by Ximonak: 9:09pm On Sep 04, 2016
onespecial:
it is not something that can be dropped or in the governments power to control as at now. All i am saying is, if the price must remain in the current price, then scarcity looms as FG will be the only one to sacrifice to import petrol and sell at current price with the current forex. Otherwise, current exchange rate demands that 145 is no longer obtainable if there must be enough petrol.
So what's the way forward because they just indirectly told us that the only way to move Nigeria forward is to keep milking the masses.

Just cutting cost in governance in federal and local level by 80% and removing unrealistic allowance (Eg hardship allowance) will help in a way

Nobody is calling him to answer questions about the sector because the Godfather OBJ did it and got away without the EFCC calling him to account for the corruption he invoked in that sector

Whatsapp pushed update to my z10 yesterday, I just ignored it...

Remember that's how Facebook pushed the last update, and those that updated said it changed their Facebook app to just Web browsing app.

But I just hope whatsapp apk will work after they remove the whatsapp in BlackBerry store. It's platform is even different it's different from bb10 whatsapp and it works

BlackBerry 10 Security and stability is da bomb (no matter the apps you have it the phone will not crash)
I hope they maintain it in their android phone too...

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Economy Finally Enters Recession - Sahara Reporters. by Ximonak: 6:26am On Sep 01, 2016
The Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, on Wednesday declared that the Nigerian economy is not in confusion.
Noting that the Nigeria economy has been heading to recession in the past six years, she however said that the economy is presently in the right hands.
She spoke with State House correspondents at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Adeosun was accompanied to the briefing by the Ministers of Agriculture, Audu Ogbeh; Mines and Steel Development, Kayode Fayemi; Information, Lai Mohammed and Education, Adamu Adamu.

When would this government tell us th truth?
Next word from her we are trying to be positive... whereas their actions has been negative.

I see a bigger picture
People are recovering their money spent in funding election for this government indirectly without any whistle blower through all these trail and error policies. The recession and masses suffering is covering everything.
So when they are done the right policies will be implement then the masses will take all these as normal crisis(history lessons).
Eg: no one I probing -
banks for selling above CBN rate,
High placed individuals buying from CBN, sells in black market, and so on

Ok. You are looking at the politics, am just angered at the flawed engineering. Boss na for man or woman na.
Bro don't blame the engineer sometimes.
I have experience where the client (LG incharge) refused to release the money proposed for the construction of drainage covers. He said since its a street with less traffic no need to cover the drainage but in the budget / engineering design it was included. So the job was done like that...
Imagine Uselu Road in benin the wide drainage is open, cars do fall inside + no single flyover for pedestrians to cross in that major busy road.
So does it mean that during the engineering design that all this was not included...

Lagos has indeed been blessed with what most other states in Nigeria lack : 17 solid years of uninterrupted good governance.
Yes Fashola tried but he is corrupt as other governor.
Imagine using the statement of "I don't sign checks" to coverup frauds cases about unseen water-projects.
What about the 5yrs light rail project? (remember when FG wanted to take full control of it because of the fraud cases even Julius Berger pulled out of it) Remember FG is paying back the money Lagos State used for the uncompleted project ... Ambode had to re-budget for it. Still it's just 40% done

hucienda:
@OP, President FDR came in the midst of the Great Depression - and pulled millions of Americans out of it with effective leadership starting with his flagship, The New Deal.

He was a great democrat president following in the steps of a great republican president 70 years before, Lincoln.

Buhari came at the start of a recession - and his job on the saddle so far has exposed him as grossly incompetent. He is delving the country deeper into recession like President Hoover. We await hopefully an FDR to takeover from Buhari to help clean up this mess.

So if you keep deceiving yourself that your 'saviour' Buhari is not to blame, then blame me or you or Jonathan or Yar'Adua or Obasanjo or Lugard or even Queen Victoria. Now the blame is no longer on your 'saviour', hope you will now be able to sleep easily at night.

Foreign AffairsRe: Who Pays For The Obama Family's Food? by Ximonak: 11:40pm On Aug 25, 2016
Another cost is private parties. One was the 50th birthday bash Obama threw for first lady Michelle Obama. For private events, presidents pay for food and beverages, use of waiters and servers, and setup and clean-up crews. Taxpayers are only supposed to pay for official government functions
A leader leads by example indirectly influencing the citizens to own up to responsibility and doing the right things without the use of force.

He said the payment rule dates back to 1800. That's when the White House was first occupied by President John Adams. There was no staff. Presidents brought staff with them and paid for everything.
USA are opportune to have "servant leaders" no matter the party

While over here our culture of over-zealous respect have made us see elders/leaders as gods thereby we serve them instead of the other way round.


NB: Our politicians needs to read 10books least before even thinking of joining a party. When in office a book in 2months seriously. So as to have a better mindset

DIKEnaWAR:
Bro, we cannot get that unless you and I join politics and firm our own political parties, devoid of godfathers and ideology based.

Everywhere in the world, people are tired of career politicians except in Nigeria . People are electing DJs and all sorts of people because politicians are all the same and have failed and will continue to fail.

It is only in Nigeria that we have bright people all over twitter, yet are ruled by the dumbest of us. We cannot have the country of our dreams if we on take steps to make it happen.
Bro do you think we can a fresh party can stand let alone compete with these parties.
My answer is no because the structures that will improve living standard needs to be put in place that will make the average citizens not to bow to pressure of these old ideas, godfather driven parties on ground first.

Example: a Jobless Youth acting as adhoc INEC staff given 50k by any politician per election day against INEC pay per day(training-1.5k, wrk-3k, tfare-1k; plus INEC may not even pay you complete) will ignore free&fair voting without thinking of the future because "No be empty belly them go take work".
