Thanks for the comments. Instead of Poland I wanted to write Austria. I didnt see light to charge my phone until now because of the nationwide protest so I couldn't edit what I posted initially. My phone offed after posting it yesterday. And yes it's Benin city, Edo State I wanted to write. There has not been light from Isihor down to Oluku for 10 months now and nothing is being said or done about it

Before I begin let me first start by saying I am fully in support of the "peaceful" protest that started on August 1st 2024. Nothing in the country is working and there is untold hardship which is why people are not happy. Anyway any good protest should have a leader and a sponsor. If you remember WWII, Adolf Hitler was Germany's Fuhrer (and leader) during the war. Germany indirectly started WWII by invading Poland. And what about these terrorist guys in the Middle East, they always have sponsors (like Osama Bin Laden) that give them free airplanes to wreck havoc. If you remember September 11, 2001 when somebody drove an airplane into world trade center. By now somebody should have driven an airplane into Aso Rock instead of blocking the road and making the common man sir at home for 10 days. These politicians are abroad enjoying while we sit in darkness with no electricity. OK now that we haven't had light in my area for 10 months, how am I going to be charging my phones? We are not owing and the transformers are good but nobody is sure where the problem is going from. Some say it's the grid, others say it's the feeders. An entire local government area or two in Benin city Edo State, have been kept in darkness for 10 months. It's the first time in over 15 years that something like this has happened in my area. NEPA are waiting for us to use our money to bring back the light. So NEPA want us to contribute like 100 million naira to repair whatever spoilt, then they will come and draw us for light bill at the end abi? God punish Nigeria. Anyway that is another kettle of fish and talk for another day. Again it is not a bad idea if somebody places an artificial satellite to block the sun for 10 days during this protest, thereby creating an artificial eclipse of the sun in Nigeria for 10 days straight. But such kind of protest will cost millions of dollars. Where are our Nigerian celebraties? Especially those ones that like to write songs about how they have so much money in their bank account. I am sorry to bring them in but they could have been the ones to sponsor this protest. So in essence, these are the 2 things that are lacking in this protest which is why the protest is not going to be effective enough to change bad governance. Anyway we pray it does

Barbing is not that easy to learn. Most of these people who you sign agreement with in hope of receiving tutorials on how to barb will NEVER do it. It is better if you carry out research on your own i.e by watching multiple videos on the internet on how to barb. Your teacher will just tell you to watch him without explaining anything to you. And it will affect you greatly especially when it comes to blending of hair. You will see him increasing the lever and reducing it multiple times but he will NEVER say a word to you. He will tell you to watch and study what he is doing. Sometimes if you are lucky and try to ask him he will answer you well but most times he will embarrass you. It happened to me. I learnt how to barb for 1 or 2 months under this harsh conditions above before I took excuse and abandoned the training. Until I left, I didn't even how how to barb skin cut (abolo), which is the simplest haircut to barb a customer. I will advice you (or your friend) to go for tiling whether barbing is more lucrative or not. Tiling might be easier to learn and more straight forward

Didn't they wear their vest?

I hear say na the church whey righteousness dey go be that. Abeg make someone check on him to be sure he is fine.

I no understand how person go travel, E no go wear life jacket. See how this accident just claimed 5 souls. RIP to the dead

Apart from the match on friday night and the early kickoff on saturday morning, the remaining 8 out of 10 teams played draw. Even Inter Milan that should have crushed Cagliari based on their current form played a draw with Cagliari, who had about 12 odds or so to win the match. What are your thoughts on this development?

The lesson I learnt from the whole story is this... on january 1st, if somebody told Junior Pope that he was going to die in a boat accident in April this year, while shooting a movie he won't believe the person. The person will look like his enemy for saying such a thing... but that is exactly what happened. Truely no one knows tomorrow and/or the day or manner he will die

APC, you people met dollars at N460 and now you are celebrating that it "has fallen" to N1,120. You should be ashamed of yourselves. It is not even N1,120 as they claim, check Google and confirm... dollar is N1,242 right now. To those of you who say Google is lying... Google cannot lie. It's the same Google we use to do our assignment in school and to find home remedies for diabetes, stroke and the likes

Jashub:
People are still doing jobs of 7k a month and you're still here talking .

N30,000 that people use to fill their tanks with petrol in filling station. I don't advice anybody to take a job that pays less than N60,000 in this harsh economy. And that N60,000 is if the person is single (not yet married). How much is self contained apartment? Is it not N250,000/year. How much was it in Jonathan's time? Was it not N35,000/year. How much is Indomie? Superpack size of Indomie that was N50 that time is N500 now. How much is plastic bottle of Pepsi, is it not N400? Pepsi that we were buying N130 or so in Jonathan's time

After going through a recruitment website in Nigeria, I noticed that the salary they always write is N20,000 to N30,000. Some of them managed to write N30,000 to N40,000. Now I said to myself, these people that are offering these ridiculous salaries, are they not living in this country? Don't they know that life is no longer the way it was in the time of Jonathan were a bag of rice was about N8,000? Anyway let me direct my question to the house, can you do a job of N30,000 in this harsh economy? Because personally I spend N6,000 on food alone everyday (morning, afternoon and evening)... other expenses are not included like transportation. In my local government (and some portions of the next local government) we have not had light for 8 months so cooking and putting in the fridge is not an option. Warming it everyday isn't either because it will go bad after some time. So can you do a job of N30,000 a month and/or will you advice somebody to take that kind of job?

Nigerian government please read the handwriting on the wall: Mene mene tekkel upharsin. God that made a donkey to talk to Balam is still alive and well oh

"Meme meme tekkel upharsin"

1 month from now we will start feeling the heat, when traders go to market to replace old stock. That popular tiny groundnut, go turn N100. Everything will now be times 2. That means black market will be going for N2,000/dollar very soon. So 1 piece of paper, $100, is now equal to a big bundle of money N147,000. I don't fear or admire anybody that sprays naira at a party. If you want to show that you have money, abeg spray in dollars

livenija:
Rubbish

Rubbish?!

1 US Dollar is going for 817 naira, but that is using the official bank rate... in the black market it is going for N1,260. I think last monday or sunday it was going for 765 naira or so. So that means N1 million naira means virtually nothing in the FX market. What are your thoughts on this? Now graduates are roaming the streets unemployed or as danfo drivers. In my father's time, he used school cert (SSCE) to work in Central Bank. You can't try that now in our time. Are you dreaming?! Even with your Masters and PhD. Unless you have connection or God is on your side. Go to market to buy something and they will tell you that what you bought for so and so amount is now double the price. And when you go next time, they will tell you it has increased again. Endless wows... At this rate, I wonder if US dollar can reach N2000/$1 before the end of next year 2024

FreeIgboho:


Well, answer me this:
Where was his spirit all those billions of years before he was born Mohbad in a country called Nigeria, on an extremely tiny, microscopic portion of the Milky Way, called earth??

His spirit, soul and body came into existence, 9 months after his parents met each other in the other room

FreeIgboho:
I think Mohbad is in that new coffin they bought and reburried him in

Very creative answer. We are actually talking about his spirit and not his physical body

RIP to Mohbad and respect. Today we are going to prove whether Mohbad went to heaven or hell. Let me start by saying Mohbad wasn't a godly person. I remember that song they sang, "normal normal pomo sweet... pomo no bitter". On social media he wasn't a churchy kind of person, who liked to talk about God. He wasn't a bad person either, from the physical angle or non-religious angle. But people are saved through grace and not by their works. So nicety doesn't get people into heaven. I don't mean any disrespect to him but I will say that there is a very very high chance that Mohbad is in hell fire. What do you think?

.

Thanks for the information. So is it advisable for a bus driver or keke driver to close by 10pm?

If you have ever trekked on wire road by 10pm sharp, because the only bus you saw was going to New Benin market then you can relate. Why is Benin like this? What is the reason and history behind this? Every store is locked, no single soul is on the road. You can't even get pure water to buy, except for Aboki that are doing indomie. Some of them even close around 10 or 11 am. If someone should happen to rape or rob somebody, no one will be there to save the victim. And are other states like this? Let me hear your thoughts

UnknownT:
You rushed and devalued the Naira without the attendant indices to make it stable at that price. You never made any attempt to increase our export but you rushed and removed the peg. Same way you rushed to remove subsidy instead of first tackling the corruption in the subsidy regime to get the accurate number of liters we consume daily.
These 2 acts are just to show how lazy and wicked our leaders can be. Because it is only a lazy and wicked person seeking for an easy way out will carry such actions without thinking about the adverse effect they will have on its citizens

Tinubu didn't devalue the naira. There is a formula that determines the power of every currency. The currency of a country is a certificate of the amount of wealth that is available in the foreign reserves of the said country. So if the amount of wealth in the foreign reserves of a nation is low, subsequently their currency will be weak

They won't see this one, they are busy struggling over Mohbad. Somebody who doesn't even know what is going on, on planet Earth anymore. Do you know what it means for bundles and bundles of naira notes to be equal to just one single piece of paper? Your sweat. You hold N76,000 in your hand and for your mind you get money... you dey feel like Obasanjo. You will go to ATM to withdraw the said N76,000 with 2 ATM cards, up to 7 times at the rate of N10,000 per withdrawal limit. You will use 2 ATM cards, because the current daily withdrawal limit is N40,000/daily. Somebody that sees you and doesn't completely understand what is going on, will think you want to finish all the money in the ATM machine. Go and convert the N76,000 to dollars, it is equal to one single piece of paper... $100 note

correctguy101:


As you can see, very few even understands the situation...

No be juju be that...

True talk, very few understand. You are saying things as they are. Anyway my take from the whole thing sha with the help I have received so far from some of the kind responses above me is as follow:
In the olden days, money used to have the value of the material that was used in making it. In the olden days, money was made of gold, silver, bronze, copper and so on. So if a coin which was used in buying and selling in the market had the equivalent value of $500 in today's money, even if you decided to melt it at the blast furnace and wear it as a wedding ring, it would still have the exact same market value of $500. But today's money is made of paper and not gold (for example you can't eat money if you are hungry). So the worth/value/purchasing power of the currency of any country is a certificate of ownership of the quantity of wealth stored in the country's foreign reserves (whatever that means). So the more a country continues to import from other countries the more their currency continues to lose value. So the reason why Naira keeps losing value is because Nigeria is broke. US Dollar is very strong, because USA are not broke

Thanks for all the replies. I will go through all of them. I stumbled across this just now:

https://www.santander.com/en/stories/devaluation
"When money used to be gold, silver or bronze coins, it was worth the value of the metal it was made of. But as those precious metals became scarce, money needed to be made from paper, copper, aluminium, tin and other cheaper materials. Because money no longer had the same worth as precious metals, it derived its value from the wealth of the country that issued it. In other words, a euro, dollar or peso is a certificate of ownership of some of the wealth stored in a central bank."

"We mustn’t confuse it with depreciation, even though both mean one currency loses value against another. On the one hand, devaluation happens when a government makes monetary policy to reduce a currency’s value; on the other hand, depreciation happens as a result of supply and demand in a free foreign exchange market."

If you google it, they will keep confusing people with different definitions here and there. And apart from that, their explanations are half baked, with no real life examples. I believe definitions are good but many of the people making these write-ups honestly don't know what causes a currency to lose value themselves. They just copy and paste what they saw from another person's write-up. If you ask your friend why he parked out of his former house, he should tell you:
1. His rent expired and he didn't have enough money to pay
2. The compound didn't always have light
3. He doesn't like passage houses but prefers self contained houses, because his neighbours don't always flush the toilet when they use it, there is no privacy among other inconveniences...
Something concrete that you can hold on to. Is not when you ask him why he parked out from his former house, that he will start defining things here and there. So in simple terms can somebody tell me what makes a currency to keep losing value, using Naira as a case study. Even if it is not in simple terms, anybody with concrete answers regarding what is going on can explain. President Obasanjo left it at N130/$1 after 8 years, President Jonathan left it at N160/$1 after 5 or 6 years, President Buhari left it at N460/$1 after 8 years while President Tinubu has taken it to N746/$1 after 5 or 6 months

Of course, of course, of course. Well, well, well. That's a good price for bsc past questions in all courses, phd included. Will get one soon. I'm sure to give u a call.

I'm not selling past questions. I'm selling past winning numbers for baba ijebu lottery. I'm the only person on the internet, that is selling/has a copy of their lottery numbers in Microsoft Excel format
