I hate Turkey

The taste and price is just too overrated and overhyped.

Literally everyone I tell says something banal like, "You just haven't had it cooked properly!" Bla bla bla.… Chicken is the best.

If I cook with chicken it’s give me this natural lovely delicious chicken flavor taste and aroma but if I cook with Turkey it gives me 0 taste 0 flavor and 0 aroma. Nothing!! Nothing!! Nothing!!

Because the chicken are mostly fresh from farm, until Turkey that have been preserved by dangerous chemical and stayed for weeks on its journey from Europe. If you eat fresh turkey, you will love it.

Stay away from imported frozen food.

Maisiba:
A cheater never regrets cheating, but regrets getting caught. If they are human, they regret that they hurt their partners. You are dead wrong if you expect a cheater to go on their knees. If they do, double check the motive behind it.

Because, cheating is an habit that developed over time. You don't expect a girl who has been in casual relationship with countless men to be faithful in marriage, same way you dknt expect a man who has slept with many women including prostitutes to be faithful in marriage.

Decent women don't cheat at all, and if decent men must cheat, it must be a result of long separation( works or divorce) from their wives.

Yes it was successful , just go to your bank direct. Don't waste your data trying to link it with your phone. You won't spend more than 5 minutes if you are lucky to meet the customer care in time

Why will people waste their time go to banks for what they can easily do online at their convenient time?

5 mins indeed, this day I was even contemplating that banks should close some of their branches and allow staffs to works from home.

Quelme:
This Obigoat no go let us hear word.

To think that Anambra was a shit hole state when this man with effeminate voice was governor, is the same mofo giving out economic advice.

Wetin this third class graduate know about economics.

He is quite right about this one, increasing the interest rate on loans will only kill already dying companies left in Nigeria. Cost of doing business due to lack of energy, insecurity and infrastructure has already put almost all companies into verge of liquidation, not to talk of borrowing at high interest rate to finance dying business.

These people only had interest of international communities and elites at hearts and not the masses. The government that threw her citizens into almost total darkness since early January withiout providing any solution to fix the collapsed national grids for good two months is not worth to be call an active government.

One thing is certain, this government don't care about the masses but statistics to looks good internationally. It is quite unfortunate and embarrassing that governments in Africa don't focus on individual development of their citizens but keep chasing foreign induced economic statistics they know little or nothing about.

Cutting down irrational demands for dollars is good but raising interest rate will do more damage to our economy than they might thought. If this government has distributed tractors, seeds and provide security and land for farm settlements for farmers in every local governments, we should've be expecting significant downfall of food price by now.

lrman:
The alts are paired with usdt , usdc etc..not naira ..so I can only convert them back to usdt etc ..or am I missing something ??

No, let assume you bought DOT/usdt or DOT/btc, etc, you automatically have DOT in your spot wallet and not with any attachments.

Just click on trade, follow by convert at the top, that will lead you to a page you will convert your DOT to naira. Just chose NGN and click conversion button. You can use binance auto naira withdraw to cash out. Merchant only charge around 0.5% or 1% on withdrawal.

lrman:
And how do we convert the usdt to naira ??

Simply use it to buy alts and convert to naira. Use binance auto withdraw method to cash out.

Nigerians are different breed of humans entirely, the only reason dollar is above 1500 today is because of artificial demand.

Those who keep saying we don't export much to earn dollars are the category of people who save in dollars to make profits.

During Buhari era, alot of Nigerians, including the politicians will apply for fake import, school, medical, etc, buy at official rate from banks and sell to BDC.

Remove this irrational demands and see dollars coming down to #500.

Seun:
Reduction in inflation.

This will do nothing in reducing inflation, infact it will even add more pain to manufacturers as commercial banks too will increase interests rate on loans.

The real causes of inflation has been clearly highlighted in the last paragraph of the main article.

Rising cost of energy, high fiscal deficits and inflation.

Ebubu2:
state governments establishing power plants will bring us back to where we were with federal govt controlling power (inefficiency).
Best for private sector to manage it.

If any state is ripe for private investments in power sector and investors sense there will be profits keying into that sector in the state, they will develope it and run it.

I expect business men to start Lagos power soon. Also Rivers state Abuja and Kano should be lucrative for business.
Era of hotel building by rich men will be over.

States has more than enough to build one in a space of 4 years, private sector will only focus on big states with robust economy.

BabaAduras:
We are not talking about workers spending power yet. Rephrasing my questions, why are the governors and the LGA chairperson not paying increased salaries and palatives after getting increased allocations? How does dollar exchange rate impact the payments they have to make in naira?

Pay the salaries and palatives, let any worker that is interested in any dollarized item worry about his/her buying power. Truth is governors and LGA chairpersons are not importers, why should their spends and payments by impacted by exchange rates?

These set of government levels are supposed to be most impactful on the masses, but they are the most corrupt. Funny enough, the masses are not holding them accountable.

Do you know your LGA chairperson? Have you ever asked what he/she did with allocations to the LGA? That is the closest government official to you, not BAT. Start your challenge from the LGAs, then move up to State Governors and then to the President.

I live and work in the US, the challenge of the government starts at the School PTAs and School District Councils, then to the Mayors?County Executives, then to the Governors, then to the President. Everyone at each level is held to strict level of accountability.

Until we focus the challenge at every levels of government, we will be kidding ourselves as nothing will change.

I love your contribution except local governments part. I don't want to believe that you believes local governments is still functioning as it should in Nigeria?

99% of local governments administrators are puppets in the hands of governors. About 70% of them are just care takers collecting only salary from state governors. The situation is so bad that we don't even know if local governments exist or not.

I was very much alive when local governments were still functioning well, everyone know the chairman, including all councillors within their community. We had direct access to them as all of them can be seeing moving around like ordinary citizen. Street roads, widows, primary health care, elementary schools, street light, tractors and free fertiliser for farmers were well provided by local governments.

Infact, whenever I remember this, I weep for Nigeria.

mrrandomguy:
Let us tell ourselves the truth, propaganda against Tinubu's government is a waste of time. The level of corruption in our states (and local governments) is beyond control.

People blame BAT but are not holding their state governors accountable. Many don't even know who the deputy governor of their state is, talkless of the local government chairman.

Alot of Nigerians are educated illiterates, they will attack your post as usual and call you Tinubu supporter.

Only in Nigeria you will see a so called educated person blaming president but neglected the ones assigned to take development closer to him. State government are the reason Nigeria is not moving forward, they are not but mere waste of resources.

End state government and deal directly with our 774 local governments or simply share the country into six geo- political zones.

mariahAngel:
So, in other words, something always come up when you're about to reply a message.

Not always but happened once in a while like that.

I will say it again, except you are not in a good term with the person, never conclude so fast that someone snub you until they tell you the reason for their action.

People who are always busy, especially business persons, nursing mothers, elders or let me say married women with kids generally hardly reply their chats or calls in time. For instance, I called someone close to me on Tuesday but didn't take her call, I called her back yesterday, only for me to hear ( haaaa, didn't see your call sir o, maybe it was when my children were playing carton on my phone). Imagine if I had reacted so quick and blocked her, that is how I would've offended an innocent woman for nothing.

yarimo:
(1) If I messaged you and you are online without response in a reasonable time I will unfriend you even if you later reply I won't reply you forever.
(2) If i messaged you and it shown seen without reply in a reasonable time I will unfriend you
(3) If you reply my message within a minute I will reply within a minute, if you reply in the next 5 minutes I will reply you in the next 5 minutes too.

Take it easy, life doesn't work that way. There are many reasons some people don't reply their messages as expected , it is not necessarily mean they snubs or intentionally doing that.

1. It possible not to see some important messages especially if you are busy and have many waiting messages on your list.

2. You may read a message and had your battery got flat when about to reply.

3. You may want to reply a message but something suddenly happened that you need to attend to avoid personal damages or problems.

4. You may prefer to call the person later especially if you are busy.

5. You may be at a place you can't reply a message or make calls.

6. You may see someone messages, ready to reply but got carried away by another thing and totally forgot. It is not always that the person is not important, it is just possible to have your mind skip off sometimes

7. You may have network issue..

If you are into business and always very busy, you won't be quick to jump into conclusions when someone didn't reply your message or call. You need to wait and possibly call the person back after two days, if they do the same, then you can wait for weeks before you take your final decision on them.

horsepower102:
Let them debate first.

Blind party loyalty is dangerous.

Let them tell the people what they plan to do and how they plan to do it.

Has any politician ever done what he/she say in debate?

Una like to glorify these useless people and their unproductive time wasting debate.

oilyngbati:
Tigers were never native to Africa,,,they couldn’t have survived the African jungle. What your grand father must have told you about are Leopard, which most Africans at the time mistook for Tiger. Tigers aren’t built for the African terrain/wildlife….if in doubt, let’s see how these two tigers released into the wild would fare in a few months time.

Tiger might not be native to Africa but can well survive in tropical rain forest. It is possible there might be tigers in some Africa forests brought some centuries ago.

Christianoir:
It is weird, I don’t talk with my neighbour, we only greet nd hail each other that where it end, but I haven’t really have any meaningful conversation with them before and it bother me sometimes tho.. I’m mostly an introvert nd the shy type. Is something wrong with me, sometimes I want to speak to them, but me speaking to them will mean being friendly, which I’m avoiding, ever since I rented this compound I’ve avoided trouble. Nd I’m someone who cares about what people say or care about the opinion of others, things get to me easily tho

Do they see me as a proud/arrogant person.
I’m I weird. Is there people out there like me who have neighbors like me.

Im a student tho.

Please ignore my typo error.

I am 100% like you, and the advantages in most cases outweighs the disadvantages.

Be good to them whenever you have reason to speak together but don't be too close to anyone. Chose your friends from outside.

LagosG:
When is the right time for reforms?
A lot of us are selfish. We have absolutely no plans for those yet unborn. 1st world countries had this in mind many years ago that's why you're all japaing there and there's accomodation for you.

What would be the fate of Nigerians 100 years from now if we don't take stringent measures as soon as possible? The rot is too deep. If we don't start now, then when?

For those quoting me, I can't say I blame you. Our country was founded on selfishness so you can't understand what I'm saying. By 2100, our population will pass 500million people. Generations of the Chinese, Soviets, Americans, British, Canadians, British, French, even Indians ati be be lo sacrificed so their country can be where it is today. Sacrifice/plans for future generations is not in our DNA. We don't care about them. Na only our own we care about. No nation has ever moved forward with this mindset.

Lolz, dey play, same Nigerians that don't care about their fellow Nigerians and country that you want to care about unborn generation?

A typical Nigerian will rather embezzled money meant for development of his community alone, in order for others to come and beg for crumbs than to do the right thing. It is not a course, it is a result of our domineering egocentric cultures and traditions.

Like you had rightfully said, no country will ever develop with the same mindsets Nigerians possessed.

Bullfallo:
Picture 1 is the big Apple 🍎 just two

Picture 2 is the small Apple 🍏 just four.

I could have got 4 of the big apples as at last year for that price.

While the small green apple would have been 8-9.

Everything inside the mall price double within few weeks

That red big size is #500 by road side Apply sellers.

a4cube:
Both Tinubu and Cardoso use the dom account for their illicit deals so they cannot ban it. Thier hands are not clean as well.

Exactly 💯, all politicians from heads to toes has domiciliary accounts where they usually kept their ill gotten wealth. Asides that, billions of dollar notes are in their various homes vaults. It is not easy to steal large some of money in Naira, so dollar is their save heaven.

Politicians are number one enemy of this country .

Namaster:
Very stupid man!

Misbehaving and jeopardizing your future because of an Onlyfan model that has more plastic in her than the Pacific Ocean.

He's an idiot!

A BLACK man running a "sex for botox" scheme in the UK? He's COMPLETELY FINISHED!

I pity the man honestly but in reality, every man can fall victim of sex from women, no one is immune to that.

Sexual feelings is so powerful, only a man who is lucky enough not to experience it with his spec or fantasy can beat the temptation. Let be lenient on his characters judgement.

Amotolongbo:
This doesn’t add up.
I would rather wait for the School Authority to release the report

Was the lion roaming freely in the zoo garden like ekuke, or how was it attacking people?

I had the opportunity of visiting the zoo about 3times, the lions’ den had high perimeter metal wire (about 20m high) round it.

The lion probably broke out from the rotten metal wire. I went to the same zoo about 10 years ago, if you see the horrible state of wire metal around the lions den, you will be surprise how those working there did not raise alarm and fix it with new wire.

Even we the visitors had to flee the place immediately we saw it that day. I am very sure the same wire will still be there till this moment. Nigeria and Nigerians has fail themselves thinking we are smart by not doing the right thing.

RIP to the dead, he failed in carry out his duty but unfortunately, he paid for it with his life.

God1000:
His own wife, ex-prime minister and police chief all involved in his assassination, this life sef.
This is why I don't trust a lot of people

For the stupid wife, what is her gain now? What did they promise her

The people he trusted to keep him safe ended up killing him.


Since his gruesome assassination, Haiti has witnessed unprecedented gang violence, the country is enmeshed in armed conflict.

Never marry an over ambitious women, some men won't listen. Marry a woman who see your success as hers, not the ones that crave so much about being independent or rich.

This app is still not working, is there anyway it could be use or just another unverified project.

What is the essence of this thread created to mock an entire race?

Majority of Igbos are highly tribalists, God bless the hard working and industrious friends I have among them and other good ones.

Seun promise to end tribalism on Nairaland by all mean, but seem they are now growing stronger by each day.

Kenochi:
I have always believed that the biggest problem we face is not hunger,poverty or economic issues but our leaders being not innovative or finding creative ways to solve our problems
I strongly believe that until the Local Governments become economic drivers of the Economy, we are just going round in circles
This report clearly justifies what some of us have believed,that the country is not producing enough food fo the populace and commercial use
I suggested on a previous thread that the 774 local governments should be encouraged to own Farm settlements operated or either by lease to small scale farmers or private corporations
The states should provide logistics to evacuate the farm products,infrastructure and Security for this settlements
The Federal Government will create Silos in each Senatorial Districts and will be a buyer of last resort to this farmers

Imagine if each local government took up crops which can thrive in their locality and get the people back to work,it will be a matter of time before we create Wealth across the Land
This type of wealth is sustainable because it is from bottom to the top and not the other way round
The Local Governments will be encouraged to compete against themselves and the best Agricultural friendly LGA will be given awards and Cash grants
I believe that in every problems,there are workable solutions but it seems in Nigeria we have a way of turning simple problems into hard mountains of solutions that can never be resolved

You started very well until you mentioned states. Nigeria has no business with state government, infact state government are the architect of our problem in this country. State are waste of resources, share this funds among 774 local governments and see tremendous advancement within 4 years.

Why we must eradicate state and embrace local governments.

1. They are within our reach and highly accessible. You can walk up to them as ordinary citizen, association, and student to demand for your right.

2. Small size nature of local governments will make development faster and judiciously monitoring by both local authority and residents.

3. It very easy to maintain security at local governments level. Crime rate tend to be arrested fast as majority of people usually cooperate to fish out the perpetrators.

4. Farming and allocation of land is more effective and highly manage under local governments. Tractors, cheap fertiliser and land can be easily access at local governments level by the residents.

5. Commerce and industry are better off in the hands of local governments. Taxes are easy to collect, and defaulters can be easily penalised.

6. Local governments runs inclusive administration. Landlords associations, artisans, marketers, trade unions, transport unions, local vigilantes are always part of local governments administration.

7. It is not easy for local governments to embezzled fund like state or federal government, this because, majority of chairmen and councilors are resident or part of the community. People know them, their families and their history, therefore, they are always reminded by those mentioned in no.6 to do the right thing.

In addition, public transport, power generation, social security can be easily maintain under local governments administration. For instance, local governments can easily construct and control solar system to generate power for the resident. The advantage is endless.

Tallesty1:
The pastor shouldn't have been sleeping with her in the first place. Getting her pregnant is crazy, and the way he handled it is highly irresponsible.

As a Reverend, Evangelist, or whatever position you hold in the church, there are certain things you shouldn't be caught doing, and this is one of them.

I remember a guy I used to evangelize with who was dating a lady. I warned him to be careful about what they do with their "privates" because one mistake could ruin his reputation and future. He brushed off my concerns, saying his flesh was not weak.

Fast forward a couple of months, and the guy suddenly announced a date for their introduction and traditional marriage. I was taken aback and asked him how he could be getting married in 21 days and I am just hearing about it.

He simply said I wouldn't understand. oh yea, I don't understand shit and that is the problem.

Next, the date is shifted to two weeks. Bros come dey lean like person wey no dey chop.

Nah then I come understand wetin happen, he don give the girl belle.

A lady who is old enough to open her legs to have unprotected sex have no moral right to complain being dump after getting pregnant.

Pastors are humans too, though we expect too much from them, forgotten they are just flesh like us. If the pastor had unprotected sex with her, was she so dumb or silly that it could lead to pregnancy if she didn't take a pile or on family planning program? I don't blame the pastor but the lady.

Asswipemod:
Let the North protest if they want to. We know it's political. Anything from that region is political. Never any good intention. It's all for the born to rule mantra. You want to protest because Tinubu is circumsizing your elites. You just started. Tinubu will kill any of you who protests same way Buhari killed people in Lagos and the SE. Two can play the game. You're now calling for one stupid unity. It is now you will know that the whole idea of you being 1st class citizens is a farce. The constitution will be amended. State police will be established. Enjoy your sufferings. If you go beyond your boundaries, we will split up.

You are one of intelligent Nairalanders we still have around. Some people are too quick to tribalise every issue on Nairaland.

The most horrible thing that would've ever happened to the North are terrorism and kidnapping. These people has never for once protest and think of any solution to it. When it occurred that the activities of Herdsmen has tremendously increased in the South, West and South East came up with a solution by creating local security outfit, what has North done so far to assist federal government to eradicate this menace in their land?

Only an ignorant person will see their calling for protest as good will, it purely political in reality. We had gone so deep in the mess by this present political arrangements and APC , the only protest we should focus on or demand now is regionalism, constitutional amendment or dissolution of Nigeria.

Bookhub:
oga shut up you talk too much
but you kinsmen were busy defending buhari 8 years ago did you say all this then.

Ordinarily, I would've insulted you back because you lacks common sense, but I will let it go for I know you are one of immature cretins roaming on Nairaland.

I don't do tribal arguments or politics anywhere on social media or offline, I just abhore anyone doing that irrespective of where they came from.

Is like you have comprehensive issue, if South west did not criticise Buhari, how come Igboho and South west governors go against his will by creating local security forces and declined his request to give their land to Herdsmen? If they don't criticise him, how did they insisted that presidency must come from South? Where did End sars protest first took place?

I agreed Tinubu did not criticise him, so if you are in his shoes eying presidency, you will criticise someone who can outrightly denied you the ticket? As far as Nigeria backwards politics is concerned, you don't criticise them unnecessarily, especially if they have the key to your success. This is a major reason some politicians may never become a leader.
