And some couples are praying to God for a child and here you are wasting away. Now i see reason why some people go 20 years without conceiving. How do parents gladly claim a child as stupid and useless as yours? Wrong sperm ejaculated.

U might die before him. To make it worse u will die in poverty.

I remember u shouting vegetable then.When he came back u went offline in shame.

Now u have found a useless voice back.

As much as we need good leadership, Buhari is not your problem 100%. You were poor during Jonathan's tenure too.

Go and do something useful with your life.

I support the first sentence. He will surely die before him. I say a big Amen to it. At least, let one of the fools be deleted.

So many children on this board. I doubt you understand the degree of the conversation.
This is beyond hate. Your problem is that you want to join the conversation without comprehending the content.

The mods need to do a better job at not taking certain threads to front page based on first page comments.


@post
This is a very good move.

If this move is approved, how will we ensure that certain countries like Zimbabwe [though not a West African country] don't mismanage the currency again? What will these other African countries offer that will help strengthen and suistain the "African currency"?

"Countries LIKE Zimbabwe", not that Zimbabwe is amongst the West African country for the ITKs.

President Muhamadu Buhari on Tuesday in Niamey, Republic of Niger, urged member countries of the Economic Community of West African States to to tread carefully in pushing for a single currency in the sub-region by 2020.

He cited the challenges faced by the European Union in realising the same goal to buttress his position.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President made his position known in his speech at the fourth meeting of the Presidential Task Force on the ECOWAS Currency Programme.

Buhari said the necessary economic fundamentals among countries continue to differ over the years, making it more difficult to pull through with the project by 2020.

“Nigeria advises that we proceed cautiously with the integration agenda, taking into consideration the above concerns and the lessons currently unfolding in the European Union.

“To that end, Nigeria will caution against any position that pushes for a fast-track approach to monetary union, while neglecting fundamentals and other pertinent issues,” the President was quoted as saying.

Buhari noted that some of the obstacles to realising the roadmap for the implementation of a single currency include diverse and uncertain macro-economic fundamentals of many countries, unrealistic inflation targeting based on flexible exchange rate regime and inconsistency with the African Monetary Co-operation Programme.

The President said domestic issues in ECOWAS member countries relating to their constitutions and dependence on aids continue to affect the framework for implementing the single currency in the sub-region

He said, “Although the ECOWAS Commission has anchored its pursuit of the new impetus to monetary integration on the information presented to the Heads of State which were the basis for their recommendations, we are concerned that we have not properly articulated and analysed a comprehensive picture of the state of preparedness of individual countries for monetary integration in ECOWAS by 2020.

“In previous meetings, we had specifically raised observations on the state of preparedness of the member states, the credibility of the union if anchored on watered down criteria, and the continuing disparities between macroeconomic conditions in ECOWAS countries, amongst others. And I would like to reiterate this concerns.”

The President told the Heads of State that the conditions that pushed Nigeria into withdrawing from the process in the past had not changed.
