You just rubbish! You closed your borders and all west African countries are crying and weeping? Hahahaha suffering and smiling. No wonder nigeria is the poverty capital of the world. Other west African countries are making great strides in growing their economies and Nigeria is just wallowing in stupidity. Your current economic growth of 2% is less than your population, which is growing at more than 3%. You see how nigeria is perpetuating poverty for its people? Keep on shouting Nigeria is west Africa. Soon your eyes go clear and see that indeed Nigeria is a sh1thole

After closing the borders, why didn’t nigeria stop exporting to other neighboring west Africa states? Those exports to west Africa countries are contributing to feeding fools like you back in Nigeria

obama30:


I see how people applaud you because sometimes idiots are the majorities and the nations suffer when they the idiots elect a president. Don’t you know that the only thing Nigerian have as advantage over this people has been strip off?
First Benin stop taken Light from Nigeria and generate 40MW which is even access for the entire nation plus another 2000MW green energy project going on there by German company through France.
Togo is not importing anything from Nigerian including light except crude.
Niger Republic is building dam to generate electricity that will be enough for them and also export to Benin, Togo and Bukinafaso if needs arise and France is behind it.
They only import crude oil from Nigeria on credit and Nigeria cannot stop selling to them on credit because we need cash to steal and save in abroad bank than managing what we have for betterments of Nigerians.
Now Ecobank serve as Ecowas bank and finance by Nigeria and with that Nigeria take largest share in anything Ecowas is doing both profit and lost, but as France will take over monetary sponsor of Ecowas through Eco by Eco central bank in Senegal by central bank of Senegal what will be Ecobank hope for West Africa?
Now Nigerian fail to secure it’s boarder and putting the blame to its neighbors countries and even forcing them to use their security system to help useless giant to secure her boarders.
Nigeria forgets that whatever they do to their frencecofon countries is equerry doing to France. When I saw Buhari boosting that he don’t have date to open the boarder I laugh because I know it will come to this. You’re forcing a country that report to France which is part of decision making in UN to bow to you, impossible.
I know that France will find a way to weak Nigeria economy and help his colonial people and this is beginning watch out if Buhari will not open the boarder before January 15 if only he saw what is about to happens to his economy. Even if he open the boarder is already late because some business agreements has already seal with other Ecowas countries including Ghana before accepting France offer, and part of the agreements is to save them from area they need Nigeria.
We brag for nothing, do you know why Frenc cofon Nation’s still use CAF because Franc manage 50% of their foreign reserve for them and is not easy to let go. Nigeria only hope to manipulate Ecowas state when they start managing eco for them and it has been an issue with Senegal for year which France was behind all that.
I predict that they will get Ghana and it happens, other country will soon join and by the time France secure crude supply agreement with either Russia or Oman to stable supply crude to Ecowas countries that use Eco, is will remain only Nigeria and Gambia, and this two nation will be suspend from Ecowas with one allegation or the other and Gambia will succumb and join them then they will suspend Nigeria indefinably. Boasting that without Nigeria no Ecowas is like Boosting that without all tribe belong to Nigeria that the tribes are dead. Divide Nigeria and see how comfortable people will live.

Mind you Ecowas Bank will be in Senegal as France has concluded all the plan and the printing will be in France as CFA even if Nigerian join they are just there as others not as mighty for nothing.

Now that Ghana has join count anything that Nigeria and Ghana have off because soon Ghana decision making will be France sorry this is beginning of Nigeria down fall because the wicked close boarder to punish himself.
Don’t hope that Nigeria can succeed without her neighbors may be we think we can be as Britain if they eventually out from European union but that will be capital joke for Nigeria to stand alone.

Destroyerofyeeb:
I hope Nigeria won't join to adopt that crap, cos obviously France has already hijacked the whole thing. Even ghana that is supposed to be smarter than these mumu francophone neighbors too have joined. God help west africa,i guess that's why France is sponsoring boko haram and taking advantage of our useless leaders to destabilize Nigeria cos they know Nigeria is the only thing stopping them from a total western africa domination.

See your government.

Unfortunately nobody is reviewing anything they will tag along

Nigeria never told ECOWAS that they are interested in a single currency up till this moment.
That has been going on for years now.
So won't they reply them that they will get back at them?!
Nigeria’s naira is often seen as the likely anchor currency for ECOWAS, due largely to country’s sheer economic size and political importance.
This role would be akin to the one played by the German deutsche mark in the period leading to the introduction of the euro.
Our Conclusion : The Eco will clearly not be the panacea for West Africa’s myriad problems, including high levels of unemployment, especially among the burgeoning population of youth and the increasing numbers of the poor.
The lessons from the eurozone highlight continuing challenges among a group of highly developed countries with very strong institutions.
ECOWAS will do well to heed these lessons.
Also, efforts by member states to strengthen domestic macroeconomic frameworks are important.
Concerted efforts must be made to reduce the inordinate bureaucratic delays that severely constrain exports and imports at the border.
Launching the single regional currency, the “Eco,” by December 2019 is, at best, an expensive distraction that the people of West Africa can ill afford at this particular moment.
We stand with Nigeria.
Shame on the OP that brought this rubbish here, whatever his mission was and bigger shame on the illiterates typing jargons everywhere.
Lazy tins!






It is always good and refreshing to know that we still have reasonable and intelligent people like you guys on this forum.
Compared to the illiterates and pessimistic wailers that have nothing upstairs but just take side with anything that can make the country look bad.
Ireedeemable and pathetic tins they are.
No wonder Cownu called them whatever he addresed them as!

EzeIgbo1:
Let me advice everyone here reading this. You can take serious advantage of this new eco move by these foolish french countries and i will show you how.

1) Nigeria long forsaw this move to adopt eco afterall we were part of those who spoke up in support of it but after some checks we decided to slow down the process and focus more on growing Nigeria by Nigeria. I thank God for that strategic move by Buhari and i will tell you why

Since they say they will peg the eco to the euro you can expect the eco to be introduced at around 5 eco to a euro because france would never allow it to be 1 to 1. Even if this is not allowed, the french countries in West Africa who would adopt this currency do not have strong enough economies to sustain the value so expect either loans from france to these countries as buffers which is not sustainable and would be solely targeted at keeping those countries in a debt trap or a gradual devaluation of same eco due to the weak economies of the countries adopting her.

So if you are into manufacturing or Agriculture this is the time for you to make it big.

The eco would only be able to be spent in the countries which adopted it and not outside it so as a Nigerian businessman who exports, start targeting these countries who will adopt this eco and convert your prices to the new value, make your money off them and save back home in Nigeria. This is to your advantage and not their advantage.

Do not import from them because you will pay heavily due to the value change but because we have a very large economy we can export to them and at their new rates.

This border closure thing was a good thing because it has opened our eyes to what we can do as Nigerians and i think we need to take it seriously. I am in Ghana right now and just want to launch a product i invented and approved by their government here for mass production and then in about 6 months i will be back in Nigeria to tap into this eco to my own advantage.

Youths get up and form cooperatives. Put your resources together and embrace farming as a group effort if you cannot do it alone. You can then work on exports of your produce as a group effort and split the proceeds quarterly.

I am an entrepreneur and recognizing opportunity is my strong side and this is a huge opportunity for the discerning mind.

They want to block out Nigeria but we can take advantage of their attempt and get their money. easy money.

BENEAMATA:
make your contribution to an INTELLIGENT DISCOURSE , you know at least one that affects you like it does every nigerian , but it seems that is asking too much from you so you resort to trolling the one that has something enlightening to say . really ? we are. talking nigeria shunning an unwholsome alliance and you 're here mocking a contributor's holy matrimony . Is this what seun is allowing this site to degenerate to ?

Ayiibobo:
and u took time to type all this jargons and irrelevant gargabe,..like is this supposed to be funny or show that u are smart,aaaah my dear u need psychiatric evaluation,2020 is here it should be the first thing you do,..before it becomes unfortunately worst for u,.......Just an advice

obama30:


My brother as long France win Ghana hearts to join without Ghana want to carry Nigeria along Sierra Loan, Liberia and Cape varde is small issue to France, why i think Gambia will make logger head is because of Gambia rival with senegal which France can come in to settle. then it will left only Nigeria, and France can use unstable democratic issue to suspend Nigeria through Ecowas executive decision and ask Nigerian to go and build it home before joining democratic organize countries group. if it come to this way, my brother you know your nation is opportunity to steal more because no body checks them again. if care is not taken you will wake up one day and here that UN have decide to divide Nigeria and this zone is now call soso and so. and there's nothing absolute nothing this big for nothing nation can do about it. Buhari is a time bomb

Jonasbadoo:
you're mistaken bro
Eco is based on Euro and France is very much involved in it ...
So it's not possible
Nigerian doesn't even have a better economy than France so what are you saying?

Can you see the reason why most of us here in Nigeria especially the youth need to research and get our facts right before jumping into conclusions. We still have a long way to go if continue this way. God help us and our generationsto come my friend

They were already sharing a currency together; the CFA. This rebranding to the 'eco' only serves to make the new currency acceptable to Anglophone W.African countries; putting them firmly under France's sphere, where only Francophone countries were before.

Trash. Go back to school you need education.

Let see who win the game, encase you don't know I am a Nigerian. is not upto 3 week i posted that this will happens that France will fine a way to punish Nigeria and that if they succeed Ghana will be their target and what happens now?

I bet you Buhari will open the boarder before end of January without anyone begging him yet is too late. This is not easy as case between Nigerian and chad that make him to destroy Shehu Shagari regime. he don't know how to settle boarder issue and he lost again in this case.

obama30:


Am better than your president, when last do you read his write up even hear his speech. he don't even understand when common question thrown at him. even to read someone write one need translator. yet your future lays in his hand as your president. upon all your profession a known illiterate all over the world engineers your future. If i am you educated man i will dash public toilet workers my certificates than waiting for my future under leader as Buhari

APCNig:


So you expect Nigeria to just accept it? You must be dreaming. Nigerria is West Africa, no Nigeria, no West Africa. We closed our boarders and all West African countries are crying and weeping. So, we take the shoots and as the Chairman, we speak last. If we Nigeria do not accept it, ECOWAS will have no other choice than to also rescind its decision, else we will muzzle ECOWAS to death. And with Major General Muhammadu Buhari on the seat, Nigeria can kill the whole ECOWAS economically.

Stalwert:


Truly these CFA countries are shameless

Glorifiednwafor:
Now it is clear that Ghana need Nigeria more, but they have been playing mind game since trying to make us believe they have left us behind in terms of development. God punish Ghana .

So what , you ve got to compare the economies of the respective countries, cant be in a hurry to join ravaged war torn countries , you ve got to consider things like migration, balance of trade deficits, Ghana only made this comment because it will benefit, do you hear south Africa saying anything about this?
