61  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Fight against Yahaya Bello on: April 27, 2024, 10:49:16 PM
I don’t know if this will be tagged as a political post but personally I think this thread is worth discussion on the local board without much strings attached.
I haven’t actually followed up this case of yahaya bello but whenever i on my data, there is always a pop up news and story about Bello and all these news lately aren’t good ones for a state like kogi.
Just as I said earlier that, I haven’t actually followed up this news and stories because I’m not actually pleased with Nigeria corruption cases as  I know, most times at the end of the day, the culprits goes scut free but I don’t think it will be an easy one for Yahaya this time as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has taken it upon themselves to bring him to book and explain to also get him explain several gaps in his administration.

For those we don Dey totally missed out on the news, the story na about how former governor of kogi state, Yahaya Belle don misappropriate state funds and story been talk say, him use the money go pay him pikin school fees even for upfront.

All these stories no too vex me but what has provoked me is the fact that these same people wey make them wan probe Bello don even come outside Dey talk say, make them free the man and them Dey even give silly reasons
Below na the link to this news from NAIRALAND@ https://www.nairaland.com/8074665/yahaya-bello-north-central-group and  I think with these their reason, there is a call for review of the Nigeria constitution and also make it unrigid if possible and sincerely review them before making it rigid again.

~As an individual Wetin you think about this Bello matter?
~If possible, you think say them suppose Review our constitution again before making it rigid again?
~I just want make we air our opinions about these whole matter

Yahaya Bello is untouchable,Do you know why? The best Efcc can do is to arraign yahaya Bello before a court of jurisdiction. Our judiciary is the most corrupt arms of Government. In the past years,We have seen how the court have been defending this corrupt politicians,thereby frustrating the Fight against corruption.
62  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Isn't our multiple Taxation system theft? on: April 26, 2024, 04:29:47 PM
We know that theoretically, taxes are supposed to serve as one sure means that a nation gets her revenue from and that such revenue is what's used for building basic social amenities like roads, hospitals and the creation of systems that help a nation to thrive in her developmental agendas and that in an ideal situation if followed the right way and all the proceeds used in the right way, it can surely foster the development of a nation, but can we say our tax system is meeting up with it suppose purpose? Or is it just serving as a medium of extorting money from poor citizens?

We're familiar with what is happening in our local markets where old women who are just struggling to survive are made to pay huge taxes every week with no evidence to show in the market as to whether the money has helped in making the market environment better and the taxi drivers, shop owners, POS operators, and even government workers also have their tales to share regarding how much they have to pay just because they own a small kiosk or are doing a small civil service work.

Because of the increased amount that's paid as tax in the market both from the wing of some supposed government personnel and agbero boys that also come in to take their share, you find market women increasing the price of things and taxi drivers also increasing cost of transportation because they have to buy tickets, pay agbero and still settle police officers that have positioned themselves at the different junctions to extort from the poor masses.

While we are complaining that the naira is gaining while the price of things has refused to come down, let's also understand that part of the reason why things are expensive in the market is because of the high taxes that are imposed on market women and taxi drivers and the only way they can remain in profit is to increase the cost of goods.
Double taxation is very common in Nigeria especially here in River State. As a market woman or keke driver,you will be ask to pay community fee,marching ground,maintenance and security fee, and the worst part of it is that nobody wants to know if you have sell anything for that day or if you can afford to pay at all. I have witness how an old woman who sell peppers in the market was harass and her goods throw away inside the gutter because she was pleading for more time as she couldn't afford to pay for her fees.Double taxation is simply another means of stealing from the poor.

Godfatherism in Nigerian politics has eaten deep into the nation’s political space and economy.it shows in clear terms that you can’t occupy a juicy political position in Nigeria based on your credibility and merit but based on favoritism as you must be ready to kneel before, worship& bow down to your godfather. However, as concerned citizens we must begin to eradicate this menace that has eaten deep into the Nation’s political structure.

64  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Binance executive who escaped from Nigeria have been arrested in Kenya on: April 22, 2024, 08:22:53 AM
In a latest development from punch newspaper, Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.” report has it that the Federal Government had traced Anjarwalla to Kenya, following his escape from lawful custody in Nigeria.

Following the development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the International Criminal Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service have deepened talks to quicken Anjarwalla’s extradition.

my take on this
even after the whole sanction of binance and the supposed arrest of her executive, it hasn't affected the economy in any positive way and the whole Nigerian crypto ecosystem is still functioning effectively with the use of other exchange platforms. What's then the whole interest in effecting this arrest to the point of following them up outside th shores of this country?

after bringing the binance executive back to custody in Nigeria, what next? Is it just they can pay up for what fg has fined them to or what?

what's your view regarding this development?

https[Suspicious link removed]cutive-who-escaped-from-nigeria/?amp

I think our government knows what they are doing. The fleeing Binance executive isn't clean and might be guilty of those criminal charges leveled against him,if not,why then is he running. I think we should all support our government on this.The fleeing Binance executive should be extradited and should be taken to court were he can defend himself against those charges and proves his innocent before the world..I rest my case

Yes, you read that correctly.
Jill Biden is a Skanky, ugly-ass, filthy WHORE.

We already know that Joe Biden is a cowardly traitor, and now we find out he is married to a Whore. 
Does he have no shame with his Bitch Ass?
You're calling the number one citizen of the united states of America a traitor because of some random rumors circulating the internet. I think you shouldn't jump into conclusions yet because I strongly believe some political leaders backing donald trump might be behind all this but if you have any evidence to backup your claims,please bring it up.

Let me make it big for it to be obviously seen: Dangote further reduces diesel price to ₦1000/litre

Dangote has reduced the price of AGO which we popularly known as diesel from ₦1200 to ₦1000. We can remember that this was sold at ₦1900 some months ago,but which fell to ₦1600.

https://punchng.com/just-in-dangote-further-reduces-diesel-price-to-n1000-litre/
I think this govt isn't just folding their hands while things are falling apart. This govt are working with critical stakeholders in our country to cushion and reduce the price of goods in the market. Dangote reducing the price of diesel is a welcome development and this show that FG are working
69  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Governments projecting war and having lives of the innocents at stake on: April 17, 2024, 04:23:40 PM
Iran and Israel war has been trending since the weekend and it has caused lot of tensions not just within the concerned territories but insighting its possibilities of extension to other regions.

Right in, while Iranian government is celebrating that they have successfully hit Israel as a revenge, civilians whom are known to be defenceless and acknowledging that retaliation or war in general is never an option for a peaceful society are now living in the pool of fear and right as it is they are scampering to different places in taking cover measures Incase Israel decides to hit back.
Iranian government celebrates "revenge" strikes on Israel but civilians fear response


This should be an obvious note that the government engages on power tussles out of their political interests and no for the interests of their citizens else they would put some circumstances like this in considerations and just accept defeat without pulling a muscle if that would bring fortunes to their people and your slack to respond
would not mean that you are a weakly but having the welfares and orderliness of the masses as a prior and not engaging on the so supremacies where resources are termed a waste because wars does not bring any good returns rather than waste of lives and destructions of valuables all in disguise of enriching governments at the top in claim of fighting for the masses.

BIG LIE. Because the war is always irrelevant and unnecessary.
Sometimes ago I read a news headline where an analyst was comparing the capacities of the both countries on who has the best armies and weapons. All are being hyping and pushing the other to unnecessary engagements of wars.
Indeed the masses has no say when the government has decided. Believe it all that we as the masses are being used by the governments.
War is necessity and part of live. From the very beginning of this world,Men have been fighting wars to survive,protect, build and expand their empires,few lives have to be sacrificed for the greater good of the majority.in the case of iran and Israel,Israeli govt have feeling so invincible,impenetrable and have been intimidating other Arab nations with the influence of the United States. I think Iran should celebrate more for successfully launching and attack on Israeli territory. In a fragile world like this,war is necessary to establish law and order in our society.
70  Economy / Speculation / Re: 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K Challenge on: April 17, 2024, 03:51:53 PM
Bitcoin is headed to $100,000 and that's not speculation. OK, maybe it is, but the 100 Push-Ups A Day Until Bitcoin Is $100K challenge is real and has been echoing throughout the community for a week now, so I thought I would make a thread here for those of us who want to try and hold ourselves accountable.

The first video that comes up when you do a quick search for this is Jae from Proof of Work Fitness, so I'll give him credit for kicking off this trend until someone corrects me with better information.  You can see his video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPrsA7gBc3U

I myself started this challenge on 2/2/24 and hope to inspire other Bitcoiners to take this step to help build some muscle in the community.  

Here's a video showing you what happens to your body after doing 100 push-ups a day for a month and gives some tips on proper form: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euPXf2hqU3s

My only real tips would be to not worry about trying to do 100 push-ups at once.  Break them down into as small of sets as you need to keep from hurting yourself.  I also prefer doing push-ups on my knuckles as I think it saves my wrists from a lot of stress.

If 100 a day is too much, maybe try to start with whatever "K" the Bitcoin price is at and work your way up to 100 along with Bitcoin.  Smiley

Who's in?!?!?





Want to be included on the spreadsheet tracking everyone's push-ups?  Below is the format to post your progress in order to be added to the spreadsheet. 
My example: 100k,OgNasty,69,6900,2024-04-10

[Format(notice no spaces): "100k,UserName,DaysDoingPushups,TotalPushupsDone,yyyy-mm-dd"
This would be the first 3 posts of a new participant named Pushupper who completed 20 pushups on day 1, 30 pushups on day 2, and 30 pushups again on day 3.

Day 1 post include = "100k,Pushupper,1,20,2024-03-15"
Day 2 post include = "100k,Pushupper,2,50,2024-03-16"
Day 3 post include = "100k,Pushupper,3,80,2024-03-17"]

The quotes won't matter to the script and might help emphasize the no spaces rule?
I regretted not joining this100 Push-up a day on time but am still happy because its never too late to start. Before now I usually struggle to do 50 push-up a day but with the way people of this group are to determine over it,I started going 150 push-up a day and am so sorry happy over my improvement and if I continue this way,in  month time I will be going 200 push-up a day.

72  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: World bank says Nigeria’s 2024 inflation rate will drop to 24.8 per cent on: April 15, 2024, 02:29:32 PM
We can see as the naira appreciated so much in price against United States dollars and other foreign currencies. Also the price of imported products have decreased significantly but the price of local foods and other local products are still high and some increase the more. I hope the world bank will be right about this.

https://www.channelstv.com/2024/04/09/world-bank-says-nigerias-2024-inflation-rate-will-drop-to-24-8-per-cent/amp/

Some people said the price of local goods and services can not just come down, but which is not right to my hearing. A phone, laptop or an electronic that was sold at ₦100000 when dollar increased to ₦1900 is now around ₦60000 when dollar is ₦1101.

I talked with a plumber recently about pumping machine, he said it was sold around ₦120000 but now sold around ₦67000 in the town that I am living.

Those selling local products are the ones that are gaining more now as the prices of local products is not decreasing and that is still inflation. If the price all come down, the sellers will not lose even if they bought at higher prices.
I think the reason why the price of commodities are still high despite the current rate of naira to dollar is because govt are regulating the prices of goods in the market..every business man/woman wants to make more money at all cost. If the govt can step in and start regulating price of commodities in the market,things will go back to normal.

There is too much wrong information in your post. First of all, from where did you got that Iran declared full scale war against Israel? About things that happened last night, it's escalation and some increased tension, but not war.
You overestimating Iran missiles. Despite that it was quite big attack, Irsel didn't had much troubleswith missiles anddrones from Iran. It was either shot down or didn't even reached Israel. After all, you like it or not, Israel had one of the best air defense in the world.
''Even the British Army can't standup against them'' - how you can say that when Iran and Uk didn't even had direct military confrontation?
Now it seems that escalation is over, but we can expect for relatiory attack from Israel in upcoming days.
Israeli military is weak against iran,if not for the intervention of the  US military that intercepted  those Iranian attacking drones,Israel would have been toast.

Iranian military is the most strongest in the whole middle East, Even the British Army can't standup against them. The Battle will be the most bloodiest as Iranian Missiles are considered dangerous and can hit any target in any part of the world. Israeli army despite having over adequate Supports from the united States will not survive this battle. Israel should have avoided direct confrontation with iran..

Many of us know about Bitcoin. But due to a lack of funds, we regret about Bitcoin investment. Many people, particularly those from low-income families, regret when we can't invest in Bitcoin. Though we can't solve this problem, we can struggle to achieve our goal. For our daily needs, we must need money to survive. Sometimes we spend money on unnecessary things. So we can avoid spending unnecessary money because we can survive without it. And we can start investing in Bitcoin with that money. We have to find a solid income source, even if it is small. So we can go ahead with our bitcoin investment. If we struggle now, we may build a bright future. Even students could save some money from their daily spending and invest in Bitcoin.
My best friend advice me to invest in bitcoin but I refuse because I was scared. Today he is a millionaire,he own a car and a house of his own.
