And everything you listed in your last paragraph is done within 6months?

Don't deceive yourself, you know the CBN governor is in over his depth. He had 5 months and the currency is in free-fall, while the economy is in shambles with no clear policy direction. Do you think it is diasporic remittances that will shore up foreign reserves? You removed import bans knowing fully well you couldn't even satisfy forex demand as they stood, what were you expecting?

You can't stabilise your currency and you don't expect people to hedge their risk? Should Nigerians continually suffer for their incompetence?

Please, show me one policy or decision that shows these people know what they are doing, just one.

Throwback:


Are you talking about the same China that the US has been pressurising for decades to devalue their currency relative to the US dollar?

Those ones use dollars like it is tissue paper and give it any value as they chose to.

Last time China devalued their currency they did so on their own volition. This was because they were battling an appreciating currency that was making exports expensive. China still intentionally pegs it currency lower than it's actual value to encourage exports.

The United State's strong currency discourages exports. Why do you think almost everything is made in China?

Our Nigerian problem is a peculiar one, we have a highly devalued currency that should make our exports competitive but we don't have anything to offer. That should be what the present administration should be working on. They should be pondering on how the can shore up foreign reserves and stop borrowing. Cutting unnecessary government expenses but no, they prefer to slap band-aids and carry on business as usual - the business of looting the treasury dry.

Throwback:


That is how it is in many countries.

They don't even have what we term a domiciliary account.

The bank accounts are designed to receive foreign currencies that are either automatically converted to local currency, or that are kept as incoming foreign funds that cannot serve any purpose until it is converted for inflow into the local economy or returned as international transaction outflow.

I love it when people who have never left the shores of Nigeria suddenly become experts in international monetary policies. Even in Communist China you can buy and sell goods in USD and save your money in the bank in USD.

What they should be thinking of is how to clear the outrageous foreign debts taken by the previous administration and generating new sources of income. Instead they go about stealing people's money.

Nbote:


See how you are contradicting yourself. First you started by throwing shades at "flat in headdies" by claiming they'll have something to say but then went further to have something to say. Banks do not give dollars, the CBN does and you get by applying through a bank. Now the CBN has asked them to sell off the ones in their custody and now asking them to pay naira for dollars sent. Isn't that accumulating the same dollars they are forcing the banks to dispose off?

Banks keep accounts with the CBN and these are not necessarily customer funds. What the CBN asked them to do was to dispose of their own dollars. I guess the rationale behind that was to increase liquidity since the usd kept as balance wasn't being put to economic use.

There is no logical reason for this policy asides stealing from Nigerians.

Yujin:
The terrorist Nigerian army behaving exactly how the colonialists taught them over 160 years ago. Attack, abuse, kill and destroy properties of the indigenous people for the purpose of the colonial power. Nothing has changed ever since then.
Every section of Nigeria will taste their barbarity.

Back to Mangu...
The Nigerian army in Mangu is there to support the fulani invaders by any and every means. Check the names of the victim policemen and find out they are mostly indigent names. All of you who will dismiss this as a mere army/police fight will eventually come and cry here on nairaland when the fulani terrorists and the Nigerian army come for your communities. It must happen unless Nigeria is divided before then.

That word doesn't mean what you think it does.

A worried social media user, Samuel N had queried why the Police always gave excuses after abductions have taken place...




The Force PRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi replied him:

This guy sure has a knack for controversial statements.

She said

“Portraying romantic roles, especially scenes involving kissing and touching, pose unique challenges for me. Navigating the authenticity required for such moments while maintaining professionalism can be intricate. Balancing the demands of the script with personal comfort adds complexity to these roles, requiring a nuanced approach to ensure a convincing, yet respectful performance.”


I can bet you that there was no interview, this is chatGPT answering for her. She asks chatGPT for answer then she just copy and paste and send to punch.

Did punch newspaper not get this? Who the hell answers interviews this way?

First thought that crossed my mind. It just sounded soulless.

Being too clean won't give them the required joy to be productive and big enough. Their nature is being dirty 😆 🤣.

I was just thinking this. Pigs love digging up dirt and bacteria is essential to their growth. They need to exist in a symbiotic state otherwise you're going to have an absence of normal immune function. You'll end up having to keep feeding them antibiotics.

I hope she's privy to the fact that it's illegal to drive a RHD vehicle in Nigeria. Checking the relevant traffic laws of the countries she's going to traverse will do her good.

Babangidapikin:
I thought NNPC is a public company with a board ... someone educate me about all this interference from the Presidency ....Yes he is the Minister of Petroleum ..it doesn't stop anything as long as I am concern sha ..the cartels in NNPC would just get more sophisticated, if they are any ......Although it is good for check and balance ... I see operations cost going up ....

It is a public company wholy owned by the Nigerian government. So I guess the owner gets to choose how business is carried out.

Financial experts giving one-size-fits-all advice.

A car is not a luxury item (usually). In a country like Nigeria with poor transportation infrastructure, if you have the means, please do get a car. Wether or not you're a tenant is not a precondition.

All this long English. It is simply a futures contract where a buyer pays today for goods to be received tomorrow, and from the elaborate explanation I'm sure we're holding the short end of the stick.

But you were caught kidnapping someone

What happened in Kano and Plateau states.
Is Nasarawa more volatile than these states?

honour7:


Attempted murder for were for someone that came to your apartment to attack you, assault for were, before the guy came to her apartment did she physically attack the guy,

How can u claim kidnapping when the guy in question was in his apartment.

The only thing there is illegal detention, but the question is did the guy report it to the appropriate authority such as the police.

The fact remains the girl was attacked in her apartment and she defended herself. Except there is an eye witness account who would say on siting the guy, the girl went to her kitchen brought a knife and stabbed the guy without the guy laying hands on the girl, I don't see her going to jail.

This is why we need to be careful, the fact say we fit beat person no mean say make we fight am, it only takes one wrong move to end it all.

When you hold someone somewhere against their will - no matter how little the time - that's kidnapping. The courts don't care about your emotion. I don't know where you read that it happened in her apartment. The fact that he did not report the case to the police does not mean she's immune from prosecution.
You just make shit up as you go, don't you? Have you ever been to court? If he hires a good lawyer he could make at least 2 of those charges stick and some more.

honour7:


She is not going to any prison, she was attacked by the guy in her apartment, she can claim self defence,

The only thing she should pray about is if the guy is not a cultist be is if he is thee will be a blow back. Either way school done end for her be that.

Just locking him in the room is enough to send her to jail. She's not coming off that easy.
So you have attempted murder, assault and illegal detention/kidnapping.
Her prayer should be that he makes it.

LordIsaac:

She may escape with manslaughter if she has a good lawyer. The actus reus is clear but the mens rea was not meant to kill him. Except, of course, na nut case.

If I'm his lawyer I'll go for a kidnapping and attempted murder charge. It is clearly premeditated.

parkervero:


But that is actually what it is.

No, Computer Science is as much about computers as Geography is about telescopes. Don't mind the name, many departments use Computing Science instead of Computer Science.

Benkingg:
The FG are the mojor problem btw Bsc and HND, it won't curst them anything to convert all polytechnics to universities.

That defeats the purpose of a polytechnic.

I don't understand why people see polytechnics as inferior versions of universities. A polytechnic is meant to teach technical skills, it is not meant to be a dumping ground for people who couldn't make it into a university. If you choose to go to a polytechnic, it should mean that you feel more technically inclined not that you couldn't make the cut-off mark. Their core competencies are not the same.

RepoMan007:


The polytechnics and technical colleges have derailed so much they think they are competing with BSc.
While I consider it better to give graduates a sense of direction into newer, hotter, narrow fields of CS they can realistically practice, more can still be done.

Computer and elect-elect engineering is another bastardized program in the HND space. PC technicians are even equating their ability to troubleshoot PCs to full fledged computer engineering and will gladly shame CE or EE graduates with their ability to use gmail or identify a bad RAM or install an OS.

That is because they don't understand what Computer Science is.
Computer Science is large a highly theoretical that has little to do with computers. It is the study of computation.

Polytechnics really have no business offering computer science as they lay an emphasis on applied and technical education.
You'll notice that even networking under a B.Sc Computer Science course deals mainly with understanding the TCP/IP model, protocols and how information is encoded and sent in bytes - you don't need to know all these to connect a computer to a network.

Available

Still available?

Isn't that covered under free speech? Isn't she is free to have or express her opinions inasmuch as she hasn't broken any law?

Godmind2022:




Build her up emotionally, mentally, intellectually, physically with love, respect, openness and tete-a-tete (heart to heart loving discussions). Take her to gym with you, to church with you, to social meetings with you, introduce her with joy to your clients and female friends. Let her have unlimited access to your phone and phone conversations.

Then, you and she should make God number 1, in your life.

This is the reason I dissuade men from seeking relationship with partners that have nothing going on for them. A wife or husband should be able to have a life outside of their marriage. You should have friends, hobbies and interests that don't necessarily intersect with that of your partner. When you have someone that you always have to be on the phone with or demands to physically be with you all the time, then there's a problem somewhere.

eazzzy1:
It is your duty to make your partner secure. If she doesn’t want you to go out, insist on her coming with you. When you receive calls from female clients put your phone on speaker and keep the call short and straight to business.

Give her access to your phone and the right to go through it whenever she wants. Let her be able to answer your calls if you aren’t willing or available to answer. She is suspecting you because you have given her a reason to and only you can give her a reason to trust you.

In my opinion, getting angry over a partner’s insecurity is usually proof of guilt. If you were innocent her insecurity will be cute to you.

This is an unhealthy opinion.
It is not clear that OP has made his wife doubt his fidelity in any way.
He doesn't have control over his wife's mind and I feel her insecurities probably stem from issues unrelated to the OP. It would be wrong to blame him for that.
At best OP should seek professional help through counselling for his wife or jointly through a couple therapy.

SMARTMOTORS:
wetin this one dey yarn self? Oga this statement is so so abstract! And has no single bearing to the point I made.

You lack the depth to comprehend it.
Fubara is the hero today, just as Wike was for standing up to his oppressor. If Wike had lost, we would have still eulogized him for being brave. Today, he has become the oppressor and so probably will Fubara be, tomorrow.

SMARTMOTORS:
The funny part is that if This man succeed in diffusing Wilke's influence in Rivers state, him too will become Another Wike acting like a god and neglecting the interest of the Masses. That's one thing I hate about politics

You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain.

CrownOfClay724:
It's a dangerous and potentially fatal fight for the master when he fights the apprentice.
The only person who can beat the master is the apprentice.
You know why?
That's because the master taught the apprentice and the apprentice has learnt and refined all the master's scopes.

If Wike win Sim, then I can say Sim effed up.
He have all the advantage at this point.

Sim Fubara has nothing to lose. All he needs to do is make Wike bleed and take away his perceived invincibility.

Entertainment never came from the west. We had our unique way of entertainment. We only borrowed their technology and also, brought some improvement to ours This is one of the problem why you never value anything that is ours but seem to see the western practice as being better.

Black man's mind isn't backward. If that's the case, we shouldn't have heard of many black men who made giant strides and are recognised globally. Can you see where the issue is with your narrative? Believing anything western is okay but yours is backward.

I have been to many countries with technological advancement and yet, still see them uphold their culture with respect and value for the elders. Yet, what we have, we lose it because we want to be like the west.

Culture is just a way of life and we should start having the right thoughts about our culture. She expressed her view and she should be respected for this.

Nollywood, Hollywood. AMVCA, Academy Award. I see absolutely no relation.

Our entertainment industry is a direct copy of the west's, even the movies sometimes seem like cheap knock-offs.

Once again, culture is man-made it is not divine. There are a lot of terrible things that we've dropped and still a lot of terrible things we're still doing.

Culture is not perfect, so don't justify anything by saying "culture". It is also not static.

Mom007:


You want to marry a wife in court without marrying her first traditionally? Are you a thief? That is how you young people always incur curses on yourselves while thinking you are smart. I am all for jettisoning white weddings... its a waste of funds in my opinion but go and settle her family and village as tradition requires and stop playing with deep things. Even the bible says give cesear's due to cesear and God's dues to God.
Dear ladies, avoid baby mama fever and avoid any man who tries to marry you in court without going to settle your family! He is a thief and a thief's lot will befall him and you too, eventually! Let who has ears, hear.

Settle her family. Na goat you dy buy?

What makes you think that the bride price will not be paid if you do a court wedding?

All these customs and traditions are man-made but we prefer to force unbearable burdens on people all in the name culture. Those that eloped with their brides, are they no longer living or has their union not been blessed with children?

I personally believe that all you need to do is to ask for my daughters hand in marriage, if she want's to marry you, I go ahead and give my blessings. You don't need to pay one dime. Life is that simple.

Nauttyprof:


Culture has nothing to do with politics. This is just the usual style of connecting everything to the situation of the country. When has respect for elders stopped the youth from coming out to contest in an election? Or have we not seen some youths who also messed up in politics? Does this have anything to do with culture?

It's time we go back to our values and unique culture and create a sane society. It's the disrespect and disregard for our culture that has led to moral decadence in the society and no headway anymore.

Did I talk about politics? If you interpreted my post that way, then you are to blame. What I was referring to is how I've seen a lot of older people misbehaving but are given leeway because the are "elders" and I'm not even talking about politics.

You speak of culture as if Nigeria's is homogenous. You've forgotten that what is acceptable in certain parts is completely frowned upon in other parts.

This lady is in entertainment and so she should expect to be referred to by her name. Your fans will not call you Madam or Ma or Mrs. That is all balderdash.

Wasn't the entertainment industry copied from the west, do you see them going about calling there actors Ma, Sir and all?

The black man's mind is so backward and we grasp at very foolish issues and make them seem important.
