Lol. This is pure ignorance with confidence.

India has a floating currency, same as South Africa, Brazil and many other countries like Pakistan, Myanmar, Burma. Infact, almost the whole of South America is floating it's currency despite them being close to the USA.

Are any of them doing well?

CharleyBright:
Make una channel una energies to blaming Godswill Akpabio.
And quote me very well, Akwa Ibom politicians and govt official are very selfish and uncaring about their own indigenes. When an Akwa Ibom get any political or govt office, he does not help people from his state. He would rather block them and even help someone from another state. It is their usual only me go enjoy or shine to be village champion mentality. That is their nature.
If you are from Akwa Ibom, don't bother to go to Akwa Ibom man to seek for help for employment, there is 95% chances that he won't help you.
[b]So if Akpabio is Senate president, and his wife is using his office to get help for Ibos, [/b]pls blame the useless Akpabio and his Akwa Ibom selfish mentality.

His wife cannot help Igbos and majority of Igbos don't even know nor have ever heared about her. She's probably helping her relatives and uninformed people like you think Igbos are benefitting. Akpabio might also be helping his own relatives but you want him to help other Akwaibomites he doesn't know. The world doesn't work that way

There is nothing like unanimous animosity among Igbos. We are individualistic in nature and treat matters individually. Igbos have nothing against Northerners or anyone other than individuals directly involved in killing of Nigerians no matter their tribes including Igbo ones. Igbos believe in "Egbe beru Ugo beru" or "Biri ka Mbiri".

You mean Local Government Area councils to take care of urban roads in Orlu, Imo state's 2nd largest urban centre? Will that start in this administration?
All the still motorable or dilapidated urban roads you see in Orlu Municipal LGA were done by IMSG; except those done by NDDC in Amaifeke-Ihioma area.

Local government Councils take charge of Council roads of rural Local Government Areas every where in Nigeria.

Anambra State governors reconstruct urban roads of Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, etc designated urban centres in Anambra State.
Abia state government takes care of urban roads in Aba, Umuahia. Enugu State government recently transformed Nsukka urban infrastructures, including urban roads, to ultra modern status.

Some of you rag heads of Imo state declare Orlu a rural area. You may wish IMSG start to build another decking for another city in the state capital.

Officially, Orlu, Owerri and Okigwe were declared urban status even before Imo state was created.

Kwontinue.

Orlu has better roads than those bolded places and very much cleaner based on videos I've seen on Youtube.

This is hotdog bread .

All these things are poisons. If you have dysfunction or you feel like you need something more turgid just go for Viagra, Levitra or Cialis. ED is very rare in Nigeria so most sellers of these "Manpowers" are patronized by teenagers and young adults trying to impress sxually

longayink:

Bros, you try.

The travelers arrived Orlu town centre - Tijani Street by Awoidemilli Street and Oleme Road junction. They didn't know where they were until they asked a bystander. They also asked for where Nkwo Ito roundabout is, whereas they drove past that roundabout some three minutes before then.
After getting direction from the bystander, they headed straight to old Owerri road dualized halfway by Okorocha govt, reached Carwash by Teaching hospital junction on the road. From there, they turned towards one long street built during Udenwa govt which connects Building materials market in New Owerri road, the road reconstructed by Uzodinma's govt. Next, they were on the federal road in Nkwerre and Nwangele local government areas.

They wouldn't know the all dilapidated inner streets of Orlu. I mean the wrecked urban roads in the area from Building materials market to carwash to Urban secondary school to Imo poly campus/Bishop Shanahan and Catholic Cathedral, and roads from that area to Orlu town centre. People living in these clustered areas in Orlu are passing through hell of wrecked urban roads in Orlu.

Truth is that only people living in Orlu know these details and Governors have killed the local government system otherwise the LGA Chairmen if well funded are supposed to take care of those inner roads. I've transversed Orlu before but I didn't meet the bad roads because I don't know them and nothing led me to using them. Orlu is quite a developed town and all the villages around it are built up in a very large sprawl all the way to Mbano and Owerri.

FOXDOSSIER:
This was the same denial that you are known for all these years and that’s why imo state is in such ruins and decay. Almost every blogger in Owerri would always show Wetheral road which is just 00.1% of Owerri while 99% Owerri are decayed and in ruins.

Have you wonder for once why most imo indigenes prefer to live in Onitsha and Awka than living in Owerri? The answer is simple that Owerri is such a decayed town that has failed to attract even igbos from other states to live there not to talk of other Nigerians.

Onitsha may have its challenges just like every other Nigerian cities, but the condition of Owerri is despicably worse because imo state is among the top 10 most indebted state sin Nigeria but people keep asking where are the monies ? They were all looted by Okorocha, ihedioha, uzodimma, etc

Onitsha even as a major commercial city has always had the kind of infrastructures that Owerri dreams of like flyovers, ten lanes superhighways, cloverleaf interchanges, well planned neighborhoods, etc

There’s no doubt that when we consider all factors and all indices of development like roads, infrastructures, health, education, etc, Anambra comes tops as the most developed Igbo state.

The problem and reason why Owerri has remained a squalor , undeveloped, backward and economically unviable is because imo state indigenes have refused to elect good leaders and even when they find out that they made a leadership mistake they will still not be able to stop living in denial and talk to their governor to do the right thing.

Even at this older age you're still acting like a toddler. We've been in Nairaland since late 2000s when we were in our 20s and now 15 years later we're in our 40s or at least I'm in my 40s with my first kid already teenager reading Nairaland yet you're still acting less intelligent than him. Grow up man and if you need help mentally you can contact me.

Cjrane2:


GBAM!

I always used to ask myself why he was not making videos of the heaps of trash and muddy roads all over Onitsha, Nnewi etc when Obiano was ruling. Were those roads good and trash free then? Only for the roads to become bad as soon as Soludo became governor? After all the yanga boy lived in Asaba and traded in Onitsha! So he definitely saw all those places everyday while Obiano and even Obi were there. Did he not know that scarcity of resources and the difficulty involved in demolishing shanties were the primary reasons why many governors simply ignored urban renewal?

Yet now that Soludo started urban renewal after more than 50 years of abandoning these cities infrastructure, he is in a hurry to have the place transformed into Abuja overnight! He never gives credit for anything, all his silly videos are about how to blame Soludo for open defecation and other atrocities committed by touts in Onitsha.

Part of the reason I started supporting Chino is that it is no longer hidden that people from some of these neighboring southeast states actually wish Anambra the worst. The amazing thing is that most of them were born in Anambra and speak Anambra dialect of Igbo language. Yet they still hate the place! Unlike when you see Anambra kids born in Aba, they are fiercely pro-Abia! Even when their parents state of origin in Anambra. I have tried hard to understand this phenomenon without success. Why do many of them despise the state of their birth even though you would never know their parents are not from Anambra if they didn’t tell you.

It is you and others who think like you that have that feeling that someone not from Anambra cannot make known his sincere observation whether negative or positive about happenings in Anambra State. I have always observed the decay in Onitsha but somehow it was a problem for some people to tell their leaders the truth to the face and support the right thing instead of self denial. Soludo is indeed trying but the work load is much so he has to use local contractors with limited funds available.

Obviously employed by APC to divert attention from the real issue to Igbos as usual. Anyone yet to see and acknowledge this is only but deceiving himself. Assuming Igbos were in control of currency market or even held a sizeable share there would have been an unanimous uprise accusing Ignos of sabotage.

Driving through populated villages within Orlu zone. Might seem like city suburbs to non-Igbos

They started their government with attack on property of Igbos in Lagos then hiring thousands of media influencers to blame Igbos for every bad thing happening in Nigeria and because people rely on social media for information they were blocked from seeing the implication of such action. They made Emefiele who was just a CBN Governor the boogie man and demonized his good intentions of a cashless economy using compromised telecommunications. If Tinubu government wants to control the brewing crisis most of the ill conceived policies must be reversed especially devaluation of Naira through floating.

God1000:
Good, but I'm surprised this same northern leaders that kept quiet throughout Buhari's administration are now talking, protests are also taking place in the core north, something we didn't see for good 8 years under Buhari.


This country is irredeemable, people choose when to talk and protest, they won't do it if their son is in power, the same thing is playing out in south west, and I don't expect them to join any nationwide protest with Tinubu in Aso Rock.

Anyway, this hardship is unprecedented and I agree with everything he said.

In saner climes leaders resign if they can't fulfill their promises, I remember several UK prime ministers like David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Liz truss, they all resigned.

We have a clueless president.

Buhari's government wasn't as bad as this. Fuel was 185 Naira after 8 years and Dollar was 500 after 8 years but in 6 months Fuel rose to 600 and Dollar rose to 1,500. The shock of sudden inflation usually leads to civil unrest, coups and wars in every society not just Nigeria

“What are the real issues bringing about poverty and rising cases of insecurity? I don’t think it is the issue of new government. To me, this government is a continuation of the former government. It is the same party. So, what really is the problem? I think that is one of the reasons we are here to talk to ourselves.

It's bad economic strategy adopted by the new Government from IMF.

nairalanda1:


Well, at the end of the day, no matter how many funny stories you tell about me (I no know any politican, the one I even know retired centuries ago, and is not in active politics for over 10 years self and was in PDP anyway)....things cost money, even petrol, and if you pretend it is cheap, wahala go result.

See Venezuela wey sell fuel for N40, today their once powerful refinery has gone from refining 900000bpd to refining less than 100000bpd.

Even NIgeria, subsidy dey since 1973, at the end we went from 400000 bpd in the 80's to 92000 in 2012, to 6500 in 2019.

And you think subsidy works still.

Anyway, cry, weep, abuse, get angry, and anyway...your beloved TInubu is still paying a subsidy self, so what are you angry about.....but so long as that subsidy remains, wahala dey.

Good evening, son.

The issue is devaluation. If Naira wasn't devalued there wouldn't be any subsidy. Tinubu made mistake in floating Naira after removal of subsidy which proves his evonomic team are not smart. You first of all float the currency and after it has achieved stable exchange rate then you can remove subsidy.

HNICEARTH:


You heard it first in benin, does not mean it originated from Benin. It's not a benin word, it's an igbo word.

The problem with this you people's Igbo and Benin arguments is that Igbo and Benin shared words in the past especially the ones that developed in later half of last millenium. Can't you see that Ego and Igho are basically the same thing so Aza Ego and Aza Igho should also mean same thing. It's like arguing if TV or COVID is English, French or Italian.

Anyone following my comments will notice that I made it clear from onset that devaluation of Naira cancelled the subsidy removal so what was dine was general price increase without increasing income of civil servants by same 300%

Jeans601:

keep blaming others and don't look inward.

It will only consume the East cos other region don't do blame game.

Is anywhere safer than Southeast? Nigeria is in total shambles now as far as security and economy is concerned.

Most likely herdsmen cause that's their stronghold. All those Ihube, Uturi, Lokpanta, Umuchieze axis are controlled by herdsmen. Alex Otti has demolished the makeshift shanties at the cattle market but cannot sack those in the bush lest it would be politicized and made to look like he's fighting the innocent Fulani herders.

What exactly is their offence?

Some less intelligent folks will conclude Emefiele is guilty for the drop in foreign reserves despite the fact that Nigeria absorbed the COVID-19 downturn "miraculously". The economic impact of COVID-19 was much on Nigeria and it took the ingenuity of our then evonomic team not to have led Nigeria to its present shambolic state.

The bad thing about freeing prisoners is that death row inmates are easily recruited into suicide soldiers since they have nothing to live for. Most of the militancy and crime that escalates once there's a prison break are carried out by these people.

Ofodirinwa:
Abagworo, they were just telling me that Rochas sponsors your posts on here and that they too need to be paid like you to 'go around' and post pictures. I'm shocked you're still here collecting millions. Are you not rich enough?

I get my photos from online and nobody pays me to post them. I've been a millionaire in Dollars since my 20s and I am now in my 40s so I do not need and have never needed anybody's money to air my views. My views are based on my own knowledge of events and not influenced by sentiments or monetary inducement so if I discover more facts and change my views on any issue it remains me.

Wetheral road, Owerri

marshman293:
Since Rochas left,Owerri has become a ghetto filled with dilapidated infrastructure and filthy environment.
Nothing is going on there, insecurity has driven alot of potential investors,night life is dead ,poor sanitary condition and infrastructure has crushed the state emotionally and psychologically.

Owerri cannot be a ghetto. The shine was taken from Owerri the day Ihedioha not Uzodinma started fighting businesses and real estates approved by Okorocha like Empire Filling Station, Market Square and Diaspora Estate thereby sending a wrong signal that land approved by a Governor for business interests could be cancelled by the next. It didn't however stop the rapid development of Owerri but only slowed it down. The insecurity in some parts of the State (not Owerri) affected the hospitality industry but it is gradually returning . Owerri remains one of the cleanest and most beautiful cities in Nigeria and Uzodinma is trying except that he is still playing some unnecessary politics. His concentration has been on major roads and some hitherto unpassable ones like the Toronto road in Uratta, MCC Road and parts of Nekede road. I don't like the way he handled the insecurity initially which created a hostility but he has been trying his best to reverse the situation. That's a very big challenge that has been affecting Orlu zone which is the largest in the State with 12 LGAs.

Import dependent nations need to borrow because of foreign exchange but nations that produce everything they consume do not need foreign exchange

Slurity:
YOU ARE NOT WISE, YOU BLAME TINUBU 8 MONTHS REGIME AND EXONORATE BUHARI OF 8 YEARS AND JONATHAN OF POTEHTIL 8 YEARS. Sentiment has blinded your sense of judgement. Tinubu will receive his blame or praise after given same year of trial. Only a fool with economic sense will blame Tinubu for our current situation. If you think Tinubu has fault in the current situation of Nigeria, then, you are just simply a fool.

This 8 months has proven worse than the 16 combined years of Buhari and Jonathan. Check it with every index

Validated:
Emefiele did not steal any body's money. Tinubu and his hordes will be totally disgraced in court.
One big count evaporates just like that

I'm still shocked some people actually believe Emefiele stole personally . Truth is that they are looking for every possible loophole to indict and punish him because of the cashless policy which he introduced for the good of Nigeria which the Powers that be felt was against their political interest.

EreluRoz:
This is just the honest truth. Whatever we are facing now isn't Tinubu's fault, he met a disaster on ground and there's no one that would have done an overnight miracle but we need him to do better because Nigerians are starving, we want result. Please put the country in your daily prayers, it's not as easy as you all are thinking.

Tinubu was in charge of Buhari economic team via his boy Osinbajo or have you forgotten already?

Slurity:
We forget things easily in this country. Yes, life of average Nigerians was better during Jonathan in terms of porverty, but Janthan remain out biggest mistake. For your information, Janathan regime made more money than any government we ever had in the past because that was when there is oil boom in the international market, in fact Buhari dint not made up to half of what Jonathan made, that same stupid government made all the money and wasted the money without saving a penny, he also when to our external reserve and squandered the $67billion obj saved, remaining just $22billion. As if that is still not enough, he still borrowed more debt during same time and even shared the borrowed money for politician through Dasuki gate and co. The only president defending national thieves like Dazini saying the alleged money is too big for a young woman like Diazini to steal, Stella Odua of aviation, Its as if Jonathan came to legalize corruption, pension money that disappeared, SURE-P scam, Cassava bread scam project, Jamb never remitted a penny under Jonathan, whereas they remitted billions of naira within a year under Buhari. On top of all that, Shekarau is doing live broadcast of bombing and killing innocent lives under Jonathan and the amebicide president still don't believe that bokoharam is a real threat to security that will degenerate to other insecurity problems. Jonathan is the Biggest Nigerians mistake and not Buhari, Buhari made a lot of stupid mistakes too but Jonathat is a total disaster.

Do you actually believe corruption kills economy? What corruption does is enriching the wrong people and it happens everywhere not just Nigeria but the issue is making your country an attractive place to invest corruption money instead of a place people are taking money away from like Nigeria. Neither Jonathan nor Buhari is the reason for present economic crisis but failure of Tinubu to build confidence among Nigerians thereby leading to what I call economic panic.
