Melagros:

Which Reinhardt Bonkie are you talking about? All na arrangements, we took our niece suffering from down syndrome during his crusade in jos. After laying his hands on her, why wasn't she healed till she died?

Everything in life na arrangement, my brother. Even a surgical procedure na arrangement. Some make it out of the theatre while others don't. God arranges things the way he pleases. I'm 100% sure that not everyone who attended the programme I went to in Okene, Kogi state in 2003 received what they came for. God does what He pleases, when He pleases, how He pleases, and uses whom He pleases for reasons best known by Him. All na arrangements.

By the way, I'm sorry about the passing of your niece. Questioning God about why your niece had to die is akin to asking Reinhard Bonnke himself why he underwent femur surgery or why he passed away at the age of 70+. So, you see, he was merely an instrument in the hands of the ultimate arranger.

Good. Now how much are you wasting on hajj? 90 billion, yeah??

Unserious people.

Your mom needs a man in her life. That's the only solution. If your dad is in the picture, talk to him and encourage him to be more engaging. And if he's not, you can try talking to her about remarriage or a relationship.

It's only going to get worse from here unless something changes really fast regarding her relationship status. You are her only child, right?

Nigerians are bloody criminals, I've advised my daughter once arrived in Nigeria this year don't speak with any Nigerian except close female family members, always marry Nigerians in diaspora..but typical Nigerians inside Nigeria no no..very criminal minded..all tribes including mine.no no. Or marry White.. simple.

There has always been a non-directional causality between economic growth and banking activities in Nigeria, so this is definitely not a bad idea. It should propel the economy to the extent of our country's realities; implying that we must never be overly expectant given that the majority of individuals and small businesses in Nigeria now rely on fintechs registered as microfinance banks.

Omitting digital banks from this development also gives the impression that the focus is more on the inflow of FX $$$ (a very uncertain expectation) rather than on 'economic growth' itself. If economic growth is the concern, there is no justifiable reason under heavens why Cardi B should ignore digital banks/microfinance banks.

The population of Nigerians that attend Churches on the regular are not more than 10%. What happens to the rest of you-90%? Why can't you make Nigeria great? Wetin do una head?

What do you block heads do on Sundays apart from playing football (project Mbappe at 45 years), smoking igbo, and sleeping in bet naija shops in your neighborhoods?

That's why you're a bigot. You can accept oppression as long as the oppressor is from your tribe. A trademark of eternal bigots. And no, stop dragging yoruba into your personal ideology.

Bullfallo:
Not wanting to have a child isn’t a choice per say. I hate to put myself into pressure or do things just because others are doing it, my lifestyle has always be different from public opinion.

This justification is somewhat weak. It won't take you too far before you "fold."

I live a live of comfort. I am rich and comfortable but not for many mouths. Because I don’t want adjust resources from my lifestyle.

Another weak reason. The responsibility of child raising does not rest solely on the man. Even if you choose to be with a full-time housewife, it is still cheaper to train a child (financially) than marry a wife. Certainly more expensive to be with a girlfriend. So what are you afraid of, really?

You can't completely dissociate yourself from a norm so long as you remain a social being. There are many things you may not want to do to impress anyone, like dancing on tiktok, hosting a big wedding, etc. Others like attending a school, getting a job, or having kids are not necessarily meant to appease the public.

There are many justifiable reasons why a man may not want a biological child, though. But your reason has to be strong enough to avoid regrets.

That's one thing about some women. They 'hate' dark skin but end up marrying someone with dark skin. Of all people, Mide shouldn't be the one insulting another woman over her skin colour. How can you marry an Afeez in his dark glory and then insult another woman for being dark? Total M A D N E S S.

And you, Habibat, has got a very low self-esteem. No use Mide as excuse. Contemplating bleaching over an insult from a woman with a dark-skin husband and dark-skin kids, only shows that you've never been proud of your skin colour.

In this life, no gree for anybody. If they come after your dark melanin skin, go after their washed-up light skin.

I'll spend major part of it on my adopted grand parents (I adopted them because they have no child of their own and they are old)

Very thoughtful of you. Keep it up

EreluRoz:
I don't like people because of money, maybe I would have been a trophy wife by now if that's what I'm after. What kind of money will a man have that'll even make me desperate sef when I'm not hungry myself.

The truth is most young men of these days have too much baggages, if they are not smoking, they drink and take drugs and other substances. The few good ones have insecurity issues and expect you to respond to them like a hookup girl (make I no bore you with stories) .
My happiness now is I've cleared my conscience and posterity shall not judge me bad

I got that, dear. Don't blame yourself over nothing. From what I've seen in your follow-up writing, you haven't done anything wrong.

I'm only concerned that a man who gives you money in that manner, for no 'known reason,' won't alter your perception about love relationships, as we see mainly in Nigeria. But on second thought, I've never known you to be poor or struggling. Certainly not you. I'm sorry if my previous post appeared judgmental.

He's from a rich home (son of former deputy sen presi the one that has the initials of I and M as his names) .
How am I exploiting him. My mom has spoken with him and he said he has no motive behind anything he gives me and I should not bother myself over anything. Guess what he did after his lengthy conversation with my mom, he sent a huge money to me again through his company

Ah, you had to return to this thread? Well, it's very thoughtful of him, though. He's trying to raise your standard so much that guys earning 500k after a 30-day hard labour and struggle will no longer appeal to you.

When a man gives you this kind of money for no reason, he's only making the men around you right now who are no match financially less appealing to you. He will continue until you begin to hate your boyfriend. When no other can match him, his intention will be revealed. For now, enjoy your life, baby girl.

By the way, why u never cash the money? Waiting for my approval?

femisplash:

CBN as at yesterday had also reduced custom duty, so we expect a corresponding reduction in prices of imported goods, unless of course Nigerians do what they do best- which is continued exploitation and greed. Also, all level of government should roll up their sleeves and invest in critical sectors in their respective states.

Prices of goods will drop significantly when pump price returns to Buhari's price -- > #200

Obiedun:
Do not derail the topic.

He is not derailing the topic. If Naira gains significantly without a corresponding drop in the prices of goods, how does that benefit you as an individual? I just want to know.

@Acidosis thr is fire on the mountain. Unconfirmed report on stock market trade says dollars is selling for 1k and below on the street today.pls call your supplier and confirm....wahala for speculators lol

Lol. You still don't get the point, do you? I'm not advocating for currency hoarders. I don't "hoard" either. I invest when I have or need to.

I'm even of the perception that, apart from political sentiments and hoarding, the majority, which are the ordinary Nigerians want Naira to gain so they can go back to the life they had under Buhari. I belong to that school of reasoning.

I saw the unconfirmed report. But have you asked yourself why anyone will sell over 10k dollars at the black market in Abuja at a rate that is significantly lower than CBN and licensed BDC rates? Funny. Do you still think that an ordinary Nigerian is behind this?

NL1960:


"who invested in dollar-denominated assets ".

Is investing in dollar denominated assets the same thing as buying dollars for speculation or for keeps?.

Why do people buy dollar-based mutual funds? For fun? Everyone is buying for keeps, including those of you "investing" in real estates.

oluayebenz:


Finding all means to defend your hoarded dollars 😂

Writing episode here won't make your hoarded dollar to rise ever again.

@bolded 😂. Who is threatening who?

No, I don't have any hoarded dollar. But trying to labell those who invested in dollar-denominated assets as enemies of Nigeria will be resisted.

Funny, I just listed several federal government-licensed platforms offering dollar-based investments, but none has been able to respond. Why? You people's "unpatriotic patriotism" no dey ever reach federal-government licensed Stanbic IBTC dollar funds?

Ask yourself, "what" is the enemy of Nigeria? A consumer who buys a dollar-denominated mutual funds, the platform that offers the funds, or the federal government that licensed these platforms?? All I see is an unparalleled hypocrisy or hate masked as patriotism to unpatriotic leaders. Let's jointly dare the federal government to name the top dollar investors with Stanbic, ARM, Anchoria, etc. if e sure for them.

Again, why the urge and incessant warnings to sell dollars? To who? You and the new sets of "hoarders" at cheaper rates? 😅

Streetinvestor2:
I am very sure of my stand and can bet against it.I knew the dollar rise to #1900 after floating was manipulation. And if you are sure on your side.Pls do sell all your asset and even borrow and go buy dollars. True demand and supply is making naira find its true value.
And in countries like China they would have executed the binance criminals. This country is too democratic in some crimes against the nation. Tell me what changed in our economy physical after floating of naira. Did our production reduced or consumption from imported goods increase.So what was driving the exchange rate daily if not manipulative speculation from enemies of the country.
Dollars will touch down to 1k soon because the genuine people who use it for business and other things have reduced thr demand for it.The demand will increase within #800-#1000 bend.I speak as a business man.

The demand for dollar has obviously reduced like you rightly said. I'm never arguing against that. If not for any other reason, many Nigerians have become too broke to afford foreign products (like toks cars). Japa has become unattractive either (unaffordable is the right word actually). This is not about enemies of Nigeria at work.

I've lived in Nigeria long enough to realise that when people like you threaten people to sell their dollars, then something obviously isn't right. If dollar is truly losing against the Naira (through appropriate fiscal and monetary policies), there wouldn't be a need to issue threats or warnings. No reasonable person wants to lose money. So, why are you and the federal government mouthpieces "threatening" people to sell off their dollars? Fear of depleting the reserves and borrowed funds?

You'll also be making a mistake thinking that the majority of Nigerians (ordinary people) have dollar stashed up somewhere. People wey dey wait make dollar fall so they can activate their plan. Lol. Even me, I dey wait like this make e fall to N600😅

You're making another big mistake thinking the ordinary people are the enemies of Nigeria. Na ordinary people released the Binance executive from a "heavily-guarded" detention?? Those who have lived in Nigeria long enough understand too much to blame the ordinary people on NL. Hehe.

ogawisdom:


Lol it's about protecting my wealth. Only a sensible person will understand.

I really wonder o.

More than 20 Fintechs have and still sell dollar-based investments to Nigerians. And I'm not referring to some unknown Fintechs, but rather the likes of Piggyvest, Cowrywise, Risevest, etc.

Nearly all asset management companies licensed by the federal government sell dollar-based investments. Some insurance companies do same. Even banks are not exempted. The likes of Stanbic IBTC offer dollar-based mutual funds.

When people say Nigerians are unpatriotic or scream too much about Binance, I tend to wonder.. I guess Binance is for the public poor, while the likes of Stanbic IBTC, ARM, FSDH, Anchoria Asset Mgt, etc. are for the big guys.

Streetinvestor2:
Go and buy more now.You will get your full at 1300-1350.I started warning your likes in stock trade when it was #1600..I told them to expect it at 1k by end of the yr but it looks it is going to happen faster.
Very soon we will be seeing them on third main land bridge. Why should dollar exchange in the first place above 1k even with the floating. The useless binance executive why is he on the run.The government should make sure they hang the one in custody. And I don't even know why they are still allowing the remaining 1500 bdc to operate. Let the bank handle all forex matter

You can never be too sure, bro. You seem more confident than Cardoso who had to increase MPR twice within 4 weeks just to get us to where we are right now. I had to put that here so you don't get too carried away with the Binance charade.

oluayebenz:


@bolded....

Jus lemme laugh to it 😂😄

Dey play fans....

Whoever that hoarded USD should better release it on time, that's just my advice.
We moveeee

Your first mistake is to assume that hoarders lack tactics. 😅Nigeria has never lacked hoarders. As long as Nigerian politicians live, hoarders will remain.

You're looking in the wrong direction by asking hoarders on a TBills thread to offload their dollars. Are politicians a joke to you? The only way to tame hoarding is to keep up with the positive trend. Offloading is not as important as ensuring that the Naira continues to gain. Na small thing dey make Nigerians panic. Offloading now doesn't mean they won't buy again tomorrow at the slightest fall.

oluayebenz:


I don't see naira falling again.... Atleast for now.

There is absolutely no reason why the dollar should fall in the manner we have seen since Tinubu took over in the first place. Everything we see happening right now is caused by the cluelessness of one man.

Tinubu met the dollar at ₦700-₦800. He floated the Naira, claiming that the government could no longer subsidize the dollar. He also "removed" subsidy, and we all saw the consequences within a very short time (in few days).

What's happening right now is that Tinubu has realised his mistakes and is now doing everything within his powers to take us back to the Buhari era.

Firstly, the dollar is now being sold to FX vendors at a subsidised rate.

Secondly, petrol is still being subsidised with almost double the amount the Buhari government paid as subsidy.

It wouldn't be bad for Tinubu to come out and apologise for the grave mistakes he caused Nigerians. The entire BDC and Binance charade we saw would have still had the same "effect" without floating or "removing" subsidy.

If we look at it critically, the so-called monies he claimed he saved from "subsidy removal" have been completely wiped out by inflation. Some reports say that states like Delta got about a 25% increase in allocation in 2024 compared to 2023. That is a big loss, an insult. How does a 25% increase help anyone when people now pay as much as 300% of what they paid in 2023 to get a tin of Three Crown milk? To add to the injury, salaries have remained stagnant for government workers.

If exchange rate ever gets to 1k or under 1k, his next move will be to pay more subsidy on fuel, so Nigerians can go back to the old subsidized pump price. LOL.

Tinubu's mistake is completely unpardonable anywhere in the world.

This helps to squeeze out and mop up any loose naira lying about in the economy for speculators to gamble on dollars.I hope this increases the momentum of the current crash of dollar from now to the nearest future and we don't have to beg France to use CFA anymore.

How do you pay back after mopping up everything with a promise of 24% interest??

Esthered:


This your view get as e be. Thanks for sharing.

What are your thoughts?

FreeStuffsNG:
“Until his escape, Nadeem Anjarwalla, who holds British and Kenyan nationalities and served as Binance’s Africa Regional Manager, was being tried by Nigerian courts.


“The suspect escaped while under a 14-day remand order by a court in Nigeria. He was scheduled to appear before the court again

Where are those naysayers and unpatriotic elements saying he will not get a red notice?
He is done for! Fugitive on the run. He was first unfortunate to work for a criminal organisation involved in money laundering and financing terrorism now unfortunate to become a fugitive on the run and on interpol list.

Mallam Ribadu will smoke him out and squeeze those involved until they sing like canary.
May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

Says a nobody who is probably yet to pay his rent somewhere in Okoko... 😅😅

Ribadu will, Tinubu shall, bla bla bla...from a nobody.

I hate to say this, but women enabled this nonsense. Look at this critically, most of his fans are women, his friends are women, most of his enablers and followers on social media are also women. The people who invited him for the event are women.

It's dangerous when women encourage or enable men to become women. These men will come with their hidden masculinities to displace you where and when it matters.

It's never the same experience for women who try to become men. The difference is very clear.

Women should stop encouraging men to become women. When cross dressers like Bob have no one supporting their m a d ness, they always adjust. How do you all think that Bob will end at just cross dressing? Of course, he's coming for the awards. He hasn't even started yet.
