There is no sight of resurrection of the dollar but a continuous shameful steep of the dollar to naira.

We are not an exporting country again. In fact, the problem of Nigeria isn't exportation of Agricultural produce as opined by experts;

Nigeria's superiority in cocoa production has been dwarfed by Ghana and Cote d voire. However,we produce cocoa, export it to foreigners, they process it to chocolates and make X5 of it, then we import it as chocolate. Countries that have no cocoa farms are making a lot from our cocoa.

We are among the top producers of cassava, we pride ourselves in it. Apart from fufu, and garri, what else? However, the Chinese come here, but cassava chips. They produced starch from it; Produced ethanol; produced starch etc.

Heard of an account of an Indian that came to Ogbomosho to buy Cashew worth 450million. They take it back, process it and get oil, they even roast it and get multiple folds from it yet the producers languishes in poverty.

As much as too much importation is doing much harm to us, the archaic exportation of raw products does greater harm without processing. We can keep counting!

Even crude oil is being exported without refined and we import refined one. Spending 1.4tr on subsidy and managing refineries that are not functional.

The problem remains- we import back our goods at premium price.

All the cocoa farmers in West and south have turned Okada riders in Lagos.

In sum, dollar will continue to rise in as much as we are not willing to diversify.

Agriculture isn't the way but processing of those products to get greater gains. Though this dollar scarcity is politically induced.

SOUTHERN CAMEROON LEFT NIGERIA BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO BE WITH IBOS

jerseyboy:
There are no Igbos in Rivers or any inch of the SouthSouth. i repeat. There are no Igbos in Rivers or any inch of the SouthSouth.
After the creation of states, boundary communities were gradually allowed to chose where they want to be. Between Edo and Ondo, there were a few exchanges from errors made at state creation. If those Imo and Abia so called annexed communities actually want to be in the South East, they would have clamored and be allowed in. However the reality is everyone is happy to escape any union with Igbos.

Say what you know
Ukraine came out from Russia that's why Russia is attacking them because Ukraine want's to join NATO which if they join they'll be a threat to Ukraine

Brother Ave!!!








Guys wey no get girlfriend get peace of mind

walemoney007:
You guys said more than all this about Buhari

Some times, I do think some of you are acting like kids because this is a faceless forum.

PHIPEX:
Will SW now swap between VP and President? I pity some people whose fairness and equity does not exist in their own dictionary.

derecho:
This thread is basically between
aribisala0 vs Bkayy
I do not support ethnic bigotry But I must confess I have learnt a lot from Bkayy, though he later started dwelling on trivialities.


We've a lot of "achievements" from the past from both sides. However, never delude yourself to think you are better than the other guy because you're of Yoruba or Igbo descent.
The child of a slave,Samuel Ajayi Crowther, translated the Bible into Yoruba language and created the template for the translation of the Igbo Bible. I wonder the noise about slavery

It is utter foolishness to just hate/derogate someone simply because he's from another tribe.

I have heard igbos tag Yoruba people dirty but don't we have Igbo people who are dirty?
Many Yoruba kids have been brainwashed that igbos wake their parents with "flying tackles" and many they grow up with that warped mentality. Are we saying we don't have rude Yoruba kids?

Many of these stereotypes are incorrect.

I know of people who harbour such nonsense even as Pastors...imagine what these would counsel when A Yoruba girl who wants to marry an Igbo man?

humberjade:
Enough of who supported who in the past...Nigeria as a country can't afford to make another mistake again.. irrespective of the region that produces the next President...a vibrant and charismatic President is needed, if not, Nigeria might not comeback from another 4 years of decadence

humberjade:
Hmm

This man that used to sleep off at major occasions as SGF under GEJ...how will he cope with the tedious activities of a President?

Abeg Baba Anyim, go and sleep at home biko.

All these old and unhealthy men should go and rest at home abegi...Nigeria is too stagnated and sick to be led by an unfit fellow.

Funny enough, his team has gone to take down all his sleeping pictures from the Internet...interesting!

27Pushing30:
It actually makes sense ... it’s blackmail

The northern big wigs have no political interest in presidency and senate presidency

They will take VP and speaker HOR.

so they will happily mobilize their troops.

If they put forward Amaechi, Wike will push for ticket BUT APC won’t be worried cos wike has issues with Igbo voting base and the north

If APC get 30% of SS votes they can defeat Wike

SW will be compensated with senate presidency

Still they would need to get Tinubu on board ... that is where the problem lies

Reference:
Instead of planning an agenda that will move them and their nation forward via the instrument of democracy, see what our youth are busy at.... name dropping and ethnocentric postulating. The very things they pretend to hate but openly embrace with all sentiment and ignorance. His will the elite supremacits not feast on them.

Long, long way to go in this country.

My dear youths.
The President has an agenda, the governors too...
The delegates have an agenda..,. what is yours... your gain out of this democratic journey...for which you expand so much energy deliberating.

eldoradoxx:
Unlike PDP that was formed by like minds and political friends, APC is a mere coalition of various opposition parties and aggrieved members of the PDP with various interests to achieve political power. The political personality of Buhari is the glue that holds APC together though weakly. After Buhari leaves power, you won't see APC especially if Tinubu does not get the ticket.

KosiGee:
You’ve made a covenant to be an idiot.
Foolishness should be draining your energy but I’m wrong. You are full of it.

arantess:
the people of the east live rent free in their empty heads
they cant eat or sleep without thinking about easterners all the time

as for nairaland dying, it didnt happen today.....compare threads made in 2009-2012 with past few years and its sad

Ekpeitit:
The South East people are the laughing stock of Nigeria.

The funniest thing is that they have no sense, do they really believe any normal Nigerian will vote for someone who's from the South East to be the president of Nigeria?

Anyway, I hope they waste their money.

pquaver:
You just nailed ur self. If proscribed is the bone of contention, then the fg can prove beyond reasonable doubt that ipob was proscribed in Nigeria.. Do u get it now..

surgical:
so that he can turn the whole country to dubai just like he did in Lagos with his midas touch
Make una dey deceive una sef

Idiko1:
Were dingbats such as posters on this forum present when Nnmadi Kanu registered as a member of IPOB or with him when publicly announced the birth of IPOB? The issue at the courts is legal one and procedural litigation must follow accordingly. If the foolish government led by Buhari believed Nnamdi Kanu is a member of IPOB, it must prove to the court with legal documents. The case is in court and beyond infantile imagination.
