Are you talking from experience or YouTube? You Don see person way fly without training before?

sky diving is quite extreme, not for the faint heart. If you need training, try the lesser stages like roller coaster, safari, bungee jump.....
Then you go confirm well if your liver strong reach.
Hold money for pocket too, guess its like $500 in the states and 2000 dirham in Dubai. Better still go to Ghana, try the bungee jump.

I was smiling immediately the plane took off. You know the feeling, that euphoria like eh.....
Guess that's one flight I'll never forget, best ever.

Bridget95:
keep dreaming. do you know how many nuclear warhead the US has outer space that it can descend on Russia and China and have them wiped off the earth in a case of total war?

lol, outer space indeed..... Hollywood movies has been deceiving you. Na international space station carry the nukes?

olasaad:
and all this Ghana must go money store inside the rooms, shops, soak away are also part of economy control measures you have for us.

Thankyou ma but help us ask madam finance minister how all this currency get to the oza room under her watch.

exactly my thought, She's kinda right here the economic policies were above average. I lost respect for GEJ because he was too weak and allowed people in his government to rampage our treasury. Sai baba on the other hand is raping both our economy and the naira with his archaic policies

omenkaLives:
These are the cases you'd never see mad men like Reno and FFK tweet about. Murray Bruce would never talk about it neither would Fayose. But when it involves APC, you see their gladiatorial skills spring to life like the petals of blooming sunflower.

I will keep saying this: Had Jonathan been reelected, we would have been facing a worse economic crisis than what Venezuela is passing through right now. These criminals gang would have stolen whatever penny we have left and walk right across the border with same on broad day light with the full complements of security provided by their grand commander- the ineffectual buffoon.

What a shame.

we would have been alot better without your 'sai baba' and 'their hero'.

wich one is Osama Bin laden up there na??

check their nose

OP many thanks for this, its was quite educative

CosmicJames:
The problem of Nigeria is that we like to suffer ourselves in this country. Is not as if the Dollar is not available. No the Dollar is available in abundance. But some people are just holding onto it and let the masses suffer.
I wish they (CBN) will also release our CC for online transaction and not to continue blocking it and making us suffer for nothing like they are doing now.

is it your dollars? Like I can't tell you what to do with your hard earned dollars, except its stolen money. Trust apart from the government most individuals and companies who earn in dollars would rather save (hoard) in hard currency and sell to black market if they need to spend money locally. So its now left for the government to make good policies that can keep the dollars in check. And of cos earn more foreign exchange.
Lastly, let's not be deceive the Presidency and CBN knows exactly what to do. They know the cabal who control the dollars, who of cos are their family, friends and cronies. Those who sponsored their elections. I remember for CBN gov Sanusi stated Buhari government has made people billionaires with his forex policies. One can easily guess who approves cheap dollars for them to sell at black market rate.

Fogman:
Hope they will act to their words. Requested for mere $4000 from Diamond Bank for a trip to Dubai, Obafemi Awolo way, Ikeja branch they delayed my application and when I called them after 5 days for update, the useless staff that attended to me had the gut to tell me they forgot to process my application and I should call back in 48 hrs. When I called, they told me they had no dollar.

Dubai and passengers travelling not more than 4hrs trip are exempted. I did request myself didn't get any call back. Traveled was selling as low as 360/$ even better than bank, even some aboki sold at 375/$.

Gbajabiamila nor get level, saw him at MM2 yesterday with lady (probably his PA) awaiting his flight to Abuja. No VIP section for him (maybe he was being modest). I was also wondering why he had not reported for work as it was already 10am Monday morning. Nigerians can pose too sha, nobody even went to take pictures with him, me just look am throway face.

Anyone with new xiaomi MI5s plus or any good snapdragon 821 specs for sale immediately. needed urgently

anonymuz:
what about the property belongs to a couple but the other signatory is not in Nigeria. is the deal sealed?

When purchasing say a family house, ensure the legal wife signs and if possible grown kids. And more care taken when purchasing from amongst siblings.

bro dont think there's a reseller in ph here not sure tho but Xiaomi is unexplainable untill u have a feel of it and also depends on the kinda device u want.
There are resellers too @initialize and @elijahdre
But most of d ppl here buy from AliExpress

So for xiaomi, which is like wow! I would love a good review and price range

Hi all, I was considering getting a 1+ 2t or 3t phone. But xiaomi also looks enticing and cost friendly. Please i will appreciates an honest review and comparison. Pm me if you are a reseller in ph

'Sources' also state, the rumor of the President's health actually emanated from aso rock. Too many hawks in the presidency

Personally the only real issue I see here is his spirituality. Does he fear God? Because that's the only reason he won't hurt, cheat, abuse or leave you, especially during trying times. The reality is he's just like everyone of us. If you truly love him, make him a better person. Peace

Hmmm

We face many issues as a country but two are becoming more of a grave concern to me; INSECURITY and IMPUINITY and these two also go hand in hand. The only reason issues like, corruption continues in Nigeria is because of impunity and the reason we continue to hear of killings here and there is also because of impunity and largely because of our weak law enforcement agencies. No one is being arrested and brought to book.
But we as Nigerians face a very grave danger here, the only reason we are all quiet is because these marauding killers have not attacked our banana island homes and no bombs have “mistakenly” been dropped in our Lekki homes.
I am really scared for Nigeria, and as I would always say PMB needs help, the man has zero ideas, no clue on what to do. We need to guide him, give him ideas, at least just manage him until it finally dawns on him to steps down for a more articulate leader.

Na still magic, you know how these things were before now

I can't swear but one grapevine source claimed that Fowler personally paid some big shots major tax evader mafia like visits, dem grab sense quick!!

No magic madam. The dude just stated taxes were filed and payments made in June. If there was any magic it was as a result of 'floating' the dollar and naira devaluation. And of cos savings from non payment of fuel subsidies.
Although some progress is being made which is a good sign, but at the same time many companies closed shops and employees lost their jobs. Which invariably reduced IGR. Thing is complete diversification from oil is a long term project, not something we can achieve even in a decade.
Finally, I see the comments from Nigerians and I see so much hatred, especially the quotasystem dude. Dont know the level of his education or what he does for a living and why he hates the Niger delta people so much. But one thing is certain Nigeria would still depend on oil/gas for decades till Elon's Tesla and other scientists come up with better alternatives to man's energy needs.

coolscott:

[size=13pt]Your statement shows the way you voted in the last elections. You voted APC against PDP.

Instead of trying to choose the best individual amongst the flawed candidates presented to us.
I had planned not to vote GEJ in 2015 way back on election day, 2011.

But when the candidates emerged, because the alternative was not good enough, I voted GEJ.

If events had seen Fashola emerge as APC flag bearer, I might have voted him

But if events had seen Ibrahim Shekarau remain in the APC and emerge flag bearer, I would have had almost zero inhibitions.
I would have voted for Shekarau (and by extension the APC).

Mind you, I am from the south-south.

What this one year or so has shown me is that Nigerians are really less intelligent than I thought.
I now have a better understanding of the poor sense of judgement of the citizenry.[/size]

My thoughts exactly. Sorry to say, we are not better than our leaders and we more that deserve the type of leaders we get. Do you know more than 20% of graduates in Nigeria had at one point or the other sworn false affidavits. I don't see this ending well for bubu anyways

PassingShot:

So, blowing up pipelines because of election loss is justified?

Did the so called vandals, NDA and other agitators state election loss as one of their demands? I see comments from people like you and its very obvious we've lost our conscience as a nation. Anyone with dependants no matter the level of wealth knows everything is wrong with the economy and of cos the bulk stops at the table of Mr President, he'll take the glory if things gets better and of cos the knocks if things go south. He needs to find solutions ASAP.
This is a faceless forum, but bro I'll advice you grow up, be a concerned Nigerian (not a wailer or zombie). People are watching you.

OP guess you're a little ignorant about this subject. we can hardly say Edo and cross river are ND States, even though they're in south south.
How many oil well are in Edo and cross river? oil well in Akwa Ibom state are mostly in the shallow waters and eket.

I don't support violence in any form. But these people are suffering, amidst to much wealth from their region. Just one visit, your mindset would change.

delishpot:
How will that party be funded?

I guess it is explained in the electoral act. I Dont know much about this though, but I guess when it gets bigger, sponsors would come up.
But I guess we should focus more on the foundation and building blocks.

There have been calls and threads in nairaland for the future leaders to secure our future. The past and current crop of leaders keep failing us.
I think its time for the youths in Nigeria to start planning towards setting up the road map for our future. We need to come together in unity to decide what we want for our future. Set up committees to prepare the master plan for our future.
Starting with the upcoming elections in 2019, the time to start planning is now. We need to register a vibrant and corruption-free youth based political party.
Inputs from the experts are welcome. No insults please or whatever.

Seun, I hope no rule has been broken

Learn to read. Read the freaking article. Stop commenting after reading a title.

uncle, you've not made your point clear. I dont see the need for such long article in the first place. WE ARE IMPORTING PREMIUM GRASS SEEDLINGS. Full stop!
Which can be argued and won't affect our forex in any way. Even you can gift it out as an 'APC' chieftain concern. Just say its your quota to national growth.
Trust me, there are several variants of fresh grass down south. Just a few reserve in cross river can feed all the cows in Nigeria four times over.
For me seedings that can survive in the north yes, grass NO.

divinehand2003:



Bros take it easy, that guy is working his ass out under tough economic situation we find ourselves today. Give the man some credits joor

wondering why you got so many likes. Crude oil and petroleum products is at its cheapest globally and yet we buy it twice its official rate. Gross Incompetency is what I call it.

Mynd44:

Actually, what the president said was "I am FOR everybody and belong TO nobody"

To the topic, can the federal government tell state governors what to do? No.

Since the president can't, it is safer to urge his party members since it was part of their campaign in the first place.

Yes! The Federal government can direct the state governors. Better still the FEC sit and agree on this.
Don't forget APC promise was to all the states in the federal irrespective of the ruling party. Not to forget he still has some supporters in PDP controlled states.
Like you rightly stated. He should belong to everybody, not only APC states.

Normally it takes an average of five(5) to harvest most power generating plants but with proper commitment, like fast paced work its possible. Considering there are a few already under construction.
But this adminstration has only been working with body language so far, it has lost almost one year doing practically nothing. As such we can only score it over 75%. For me the government can't. But I honestly hope they disappoint me

Crude oil price is at one of its lowest in history, cheap fuel is available all around the world, except Nigeria of cos. Its well

So you mean we should wait 18 good months. I weep for you honestly

modath:



Ask that question when this administration is about 18mths, not 10months in at a time when the country's balance of trade is at a negative!!

You people act like the only mainstay of the economy hasn't been besieged by rock bottom low prices!! Money answereth all things, no matter how lofty & admirable the plans you have are, without funds to execute ,how do you get ahead?

Post Bush America, it took Obama two years to get a semblance of order but 10 months in with little income, the naysayers are asking for blood!!!



Wike & Amaechi are flexing muscles, how does that translate to this admin' fault exactly?

I suggest you have have seat beside me as it's obvious you have agreed Hero's 5yrs wasn't what it should have been & you are expecting miracle in less than a year!

mrvitalis:
Fortunately for Nigeria I have an idea to solve this problem

lay the pipe line on the road path so that it can easily be watched or subsea pipeline systems
before u shout I have done a project on this and will forward if need be

With those pipe lines passing the bushes there is no way we can save guard them completely
It's an expensive project but desperate times calls for desperate measures

subsea, very good idea along the coast line states. Although not feasible in landlocked regions like northern states.
Along the road is a very bad idea, considering safety. What if a drunk driver or any vehicle loss control and hits it? Nice thoughts though
