I was at a burial last year, when it was time for the wife of the deceased to speak, the first thing she said was "if there's marriage in heaven, I'll marry this man again"🥹
No, it wasn't a case of not speaking ill of the death, she went on & on about the over 30yrs spent

Everyday I am grateful for the man he was, how he raised us, the bond we shared and how he knew without a shadow of doubt, how loved he was.
He is at peace, I have no doubt, but damn, I miss him EVERYDAY.

Together, how when he got too ill & pastors asked him to "put his house in order" his response was "there's nothing to put in order, I have nothing to hide, my wife knows everything"❤️

Here is another layman’s explanation to shed more light on this.
Let’s assume the Govt made N50,000 as total revenue in 2021. The Ways & Means CBN provision made in 2007 states the Govt cannot borrow more than 5% of its revenue, that's N2,500
@SavvyRinu
@realkelvin07
Rinu,
Thank you for your question. So in 2007, Soludo and OBJ created a provision in the CBN Act, that allows for the Federal Government to borrow from the Central Bank as a lender of last resort, in case they have a budget shortfall (and there's nowhere else to go)

1. Repayment will start two years after the completion of NYSC

There are so many things this CHILD should be doing (even if it's not getting an education) but marriage isn't one of them, let alone to a 95years old.

That's over 2000% violation of the 5% provision, 2,819% to be precise. It's like saying someone who is earning N50,000 came to ask you for a N50 million loan and for whatever reason, you believe the person can pay back N50m from his/her 50k salary, so you approved the loan😑

Now this is where it gets “interesting” between 2007-2015, President Yar’adua and GEJ both borrowed a combined total of N869 billion, which is well within the 5% provision of CBN. President Buhari on the other hand single handedly borrowed N23.7 Trillion😩 since assuming office

It is quite ironic that loving someone is actually giving them the power to hurt you; their words can hurt, their silence can hurt, their absence can hurt. It is indeed making yourself vulnerable to someone who can choose whether or not to exploit your vulnerability and hurt you.

Another shocker? Both Govt o (Fed Ministry of Finance) and the CBN cannot even account for all that money borrowed. Them no fit point one project say na wetin we been use the loan do be this. And interest rate charged on the loan is 21%, so like this like this, interest alone

From the above example (N2,500 being 5% of 50k). This is to ensure the Govt borrows only what it can pay back, it's to also control borrowings (debt profile) & also control printing of too much money which will lead to inflation (more explanation on this later).

Cover the N350 difference to make up the original cost of N500. Problem is, due to factors like increase in international price of tin tomatoes (before it's even imported), exchange rate, not to mention smuggling etc, the price keeps going up and now it's taking a toll on you😑
