Where are you not given a chance to repent in some cases? Favouritism yea?

@bolded - that, yes that, is the straw that broke the camel's back.

suny247:
anyway you might be right, but the inclusion of d bang in that position looks some how.

NinjaX:
Really? Then how did that other thief whom was nailed to the cross alongside Jesus Christ, knew when he will die and that enabled him to beg for forgiveness?

NinjaX:
Excellent point you have there!

Plus the fact that you can commit the most vile of atrocities during your lifetime, but only have to "seek repentance" from Yahweh at the last second in order to redeem thy soul before you transition to the realm beyond.

Food for thought: what if Hitler, BinLaden or Anini adopted the aforestated measure before they passed on?
Is this not a twisted motivation to execute evil deeds?

listen to yourself, basically what you are saying is: cost of living is higher in SINGAPORE than it is in China so the Chinese currency has more value than Singapore's

BOKO52:
na wa, maybe that's for the capital only, what about there other cities like kumasi, toma and others are those state not good to live and less expensive ?

mrgaga:
yea when u compare the price with 9ja own but if u have ur business it's same thing when u compare the gain u make here to 9ja own.for instance for mobile phone tech to fix a faulty Mic starts from 10cedis which is above 1k naira but u can finish that 10cedis at once to eat






I live in new town but currently in naija now....true that house could be expensive but if you have a legitimate bizness...you will make a lot of profits and enjoy your stay in Ghana but mind you...things are expensive



a tin of malt goes for 6 cedis

Is this issue of over staying and fines associated with Dubai alone? Is it so in other countries, or can't the person be easily deported on request?
Plus, is it same for African countries?

Let me try and explain to you why there's recession. First, here are certain facts you need to know.

1. Nigeria is an import dependent country. We import anything importable because we most times don't have the capacity or capability to produce them. To import goods or purchase anything from other countries we need DOLLARS. This problem started since 1986 and has been getting worse.

2. Nigeria is a mono product economy. In other words, we depend on export of one main product to get DOLLARS. That product is crude oil. Over 70% of Government revenue comes from sale of crude oil. Without revenue from crude oil, the government has no choice but to borrow to fund it's budget.

With those two points in mind, here's why we are in recession.

Oil price crashed in 2015 from over $100 per barrel to less than $40 per barrel.

This crash was because there was supply glut of crude oil globally. Countries were producing too much crude oil and others started using alternate source of energy.

With the fall in crude oil price, the amount of DOLLARS Nigeria could get from sale of crude oil also crashed.

This problem was further compounded by the activities of some disgruntled sponsored group who started blowing up our crude oil export pipelines and facilities in the hope of crashing the economy.

So Nigeria was not getting enough revenue from crude oil sales because the price crashed and the little we were supposed to even get was further cut off by those blowing up oil facilities.

Remember that it is the DOLLARS we get from crude oil sales that we also use to IMPORT all the junks we need from other countries. This DOLLARS is held by CBN and CBN gives it to commercial banks to sell to ordinary Nigerians to import what they want or pay for services abroad.

The crash in government revenue (DOLLARS) meant that government could no longer support the importing needs of Nigerians. Also, there were lots of loopholes in our land borders through which corrupt public officials were enriching themselves and putting the health of Nigerians at risk. Most of the revenue they raised never got to government. Furthermore, there was need to encourage LOCAL production of the things we were OFTEN IMPORTING. With all these, the government decided to restrict the importation of some goods THROUGH LAND BORDERS.

Please note that the primary reason for the above is because of the CRASH in government revenue or Dollars.

Even with the scarcity of dollar, our desire for foreign goods has not abaited. Since the dollar is scarce, the price relative to Naira will rise. People who still manage to get the dollars at the high price and use it to import goods into the country will have to push the cost to the consumers. That is why you see that prices of goods have jumped to the roof.

The situation has been made worse by greedy Nigerian sellers who want to profit and make quick money from others. They have all joined unions were they agree to inflate prices of goods and services. With a simple call, they all agree and fix price at a certain amount. The result is us being forced to buy them at the artificial high price.

In addition, just before the previous government handed over power to the current one, a lot of politicians stole as much as they could from government purse. They didn't steal it in Naira. They stole it in DOLLARS. Some of them were able to move their loots abroad, some his the loots in their homes and some left it in Nigerian banks. Without this money with government or in circulation, the DOLLAR SCARCITY HAS BEEN MADE WORSE and so has its attendant consequences.

So some of the above is why we are in recession. The problems in this country is much and will not contain 100 books if we want to write about it. But I'm sure you will understand the whole picture if you read this epistle again and again.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

Thanks.
