Ibos are planning to destroy Yorùbá churches in the South-East... I have said it here that Harrison Chidiebere Ani is the new Simon Ekpa and what's stopping him from becoming full blown is loads of cash!

you mumus feel Igbos are like you that do not appreciate hard work and assets...........all through the civil war and even the UGM contrived drama....did you ever hear a church was damaged talkless of being destroyed1

melodyogonna:
Lol, for one thing, I don't think FG has anything to do with this. Secondly, what do you mean state government didn't want it? Didn't Mbah take the initiative to lobby the British government for the consulate?
When you're negotiating you need to have something the other party wants, that is leverage. In this instance the only leverage we could have is application numbers, that didn't exist.
Maybe if Peter Mbah succeeds in building up our industries we could attract investments that would warrant international traffic (to UK), then maybe we could try lobbying Britain again.
Anyway, it's probably more worthwhile to trying getting Chinese or American consulate

That one should rightly go to Awka........na there Business men full!

He is 95% there, but there is just another 5% to go, and the world will witness the indomitable spirit of NdiAnambra!! just another 5% .................Soludo has to get a more dynamic environment commissioner.......or get the current one to be more active!

Tinubu is a real gentleman for even considering them.

One stone age, sub-human tribe from the sahara desert known as Fulani is responsible for 80% of Nigeria's problem. They ushered in bokoharam, bandit and marauding herdsmen into Nigeria. Their brain-dead son known as Buhari left Nigeria worst than he met it.

Only an-all-out commando style assault against these cancer known as Fulani can salvage Nigeria.

BlueStripper:
I think our legislators should pass a bill criminalising kidnapping and appending a death sentence on kidnappers by firing squad. Cases of kidnapping should receiving express hearing in court to expedite judgement.

Just as Nigeria dealt with Armed Robbery post the civil war between Nigerian forces and Biafran weaklings from the southeast region , we should deal with Kidnappers and Yahoo Yahoo boys.

Most of the boys you call Yahoo boys are Kidnappers in disguise. They live with you, smile and play with you to win your trust, then give out sensitive informations about you.

They are like "Kabiru by day, Shalewa by Night".

Validated:
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Friday, injected $197.71 million into the foreign exchange (FX) market in a bid to restore calm as the naira crashed to N1,600 per dollar—its weakest official exchange rate since December—under growing pressure from global economic shocks, including a 14% import tariff recently imposed on Nigeria by the United States.

The intervention, confirmed in a statement released Saturday by Dr. Omolara Omotunde Duke, Director of the Financial Markets Department, marks one of the most direct responses by the apex bank to the turmoil triggered by the U.S. government’s sudden hike in tariffs on a wide range of imports, including goods originating from Nigeria.

“In line with its commitment to ensuring adequate liquidity and supporting orderly market functioning, the CBN facilitated market activity…with the provision of $197.71 million through sales to Authorized Dealers,” the statement read.

The Bank said the move aligns with its broader objective of fostering a stable, transparent, and efficient foreign exchange market and reiterated its resolve to maintain market integrity amid rising volatility.

Trump’s Tariff Hitting Nigeria?
But beyond the routine policy language lies a deeper concern: the naira’s sharp depreciation is being increasingly tied to Trump’s decision to impose new tariffs on several countries—including Nigeria—as part of a broader trade overhaul that is beginning to reverberate across global markets.

According to economists, the U.S. president’s announcement of a sweeping 10% baseline tariff on most imports, and a separate 14% tariff on certain products from Nigeria, has directly contributed to the decline of the naira. The impact has been swift. Nigeria, which depends heavily on oil exports and dollar remittances, now finds itself squeezed between falling crude prices and rising trade barriers.


Analysts say Nigeria is particularly vulnerable to external shocks due to its over-reliance on imports and its narrow export base. With U.S. tariffs raising costs for Nigerian goods abroad—and reducing Nigeria’s competitiveness—dollar inflows are expected to decline further. That, in turn, has made it harder for the CBN to defend the naira without depleting its already strained reserves.

Naira Drops to N1,600/$1—Worst Since December
Data from the CBN shows that the naira ended Friday at N1,600 per dollar, down 1.9% from N1,569 recorded the previous day. It marks the weakest official exchange rate since December 4, 2024, when the currency closed at N1,608.

Intra-day trades suggest even wider instability. The naira briefly touched a high of N1,625 before retreating, while some trades settled as low as N1,519—highlighting a broad range of uncertainty in dealer pricing. The Nigerian Foreign Exchange Market (NFEM) average rate, which smoothens out day-to-day spikes, closed at N1,567—the softest level so far in 2025.

In just the first four trading days of April, the naira has already lost 3.9% of its value, after closing March at N1,537.

The market’s volatility has renewed questions about the effectiveness of Nigeria’s FX reform strategy, which had aimed to allow the naira to float more freely in line with market demand and supply dynamics. Economists believe that without buffers, such a system leaves the currency dangerously exposed to external headwinds.

Economists Call for Urgent Action
The dramatic weakening of the naira has prompted fresh warnings from economists who say Nigeria must urgently revise its economic playbook in light of the new global realities. Several experts have urged the government to immediately set up a high-level response team focused on mitigating the effects of Trump’s trade policies on Nigeria’s already fragile economy.

There is growing support for a mix of policy responses. Economists have urged the federal government to fast-track export diversification, especially in non-oil sectors like agro-processing, solid minerals, and services. They are also advocating for Nigeria to begin exploring bilateral trade talks with the U.S. to negotiate relief or possible exemptions from the newly introduced tariffs.

In addition, some have suggested rebuilding foreign exchange buffers through diaspora bonds and concessional loans to strengthen Nigeria’s short-term liquidity. There are also calls for a reassessment of the 2025 budget assumptions, particularly around oil benchmarks and projected dollar inflows, which may no longer be realistic given recent developments.

Another line of thought is for the CBN to offer more structured FX support to key import-dependent sectors of the economy to avoid further supply chain disruptions that could fuel inflation. In parallel, there is also mounting pressure for the CBN to step up transparency around its FX intervention strategy, with clear and predictable signals to prevent panic in the financial markets.

While the CBN has not committed to a daily defense of the naira, the tone of its latest statement suggests it is prepared to act again should market conditions worsen. Dr. Duke noted that the Bank would continue to closely monitor both global and domestic financial conditions and stands ready to intervene further as necessary to maintain market order.

The CBN also called on all authorized dealers to uphold the Nigeria FX Market Code, urging strict compliance and high ethical standards in all transactions with clients and counterparties.

Obi1kenobi:
It's not just an Anambra thing. I live in Lagos which is an astoundingly filthy and chaotic place. Very basic environmental enforcement barring hawkers, road side sellers, shanties, open urination and defecation, littering, illegal waste disposal etc is rocket science and beyond the state government. The only thing they know how to do is mobilize ndi agbero to extort everyone going about their legitimate business. Nigeria in general is a failed state whose citizens have an inferior mentality to Middle Age Europeans.

It is funny and somewhat nostalgic to see how chaotic and disorganised Lagos ( where I was born) and Onitsha ( where I partly worked as an adult) have become !! The truth is, Lagos and Onitsha are probably the most commercial cities in Nigeria.....you can also throw in Kano and Aba! Incidentally, my dad cut his trading teeth in Aba, but these very successful commercial cities are suffering from the inability to manage their success. Look at Nnewi with all its commercial and industrial success, still looks largely like a busy motor park! It is worse with Anambra state governments in the past ,,, it seems they simply lack the wherewithal to embark on any meaningful urban regeneration to manage the influx of recently settled nwaboys and the additional population that also come in to service these traders!


I feel Soludo has an inkling of what I am talking about, hence his desire to develop an Onitsha 2.0 and an Awka 2.0, but we have not heard much about these new cities.......All I know is that MP consortium, the owners of Awka Millennium City, are supposed to be developing Onitsha 2.0...................... Soludo is really trying sha, it's not all about shops and trading.......how about leisure and relaxation facilities, sound hospitals and good public schools.......... we're getting there gradually!

Lol...ayon kwandem !!! noted! One thing I noticed is how Rwandans look so relaxed and well nourished...well dressed and smart! Nigerians are so stressed out....with veins popping out of emaciated faces.....who is to blame now? bad government or is it "okeiteism" that's worrying our people! In any case, we need deep thinkers on this forum...................... How do we liberate our people from the deep doldrums we are in!


Back to topic ! kigali seems to have a very cohesive and tight town planning philosophy! I do not see open drains anywhere and I do see a whole lot of tree planting........As a nature lover, I think its a travesty that Anambra state does not have a dedicated tree planting,lawn planting and greening department! Just a suggestion b4 the owners of ANSG descend on me!

Happy weekend brethren, as we continue to dream of a better Anambra.......let us strive to learn from global best practices in town planning and public utilities, it is not rocket or nuclear science....what we need are dedicated and educated minds to man various offices in government and civil service of our dear state! I am not sure, but I sense that many of our civil servants are not too exposed or enlightened on these matters!

Kindly watch Kigali, Rwanda in 2025......nothing fantastic here, but what things do you notice? and what can we adopt in Anambra? Pleasant viewing

Obi1kenobi:
Do you have any stats for this claim? As far as I'm aware, only Air Peace and United Nigeria run flights to Anambra airport - usually one flight per day and not even everyday - while other airlines like Dana and Ibom Air also run to Enugu and Owerri. The last time the very lousy FAAN published figures for air passenger traffic for 2023, Enugu, Owerri and Asaba airports all had greater air traffic than Anambra airport. Most times I buy tickets for my mom, she still prefers going through Asaba given it's much closer to Onitsha and also closer to our hometown. From all available data, Owerri has consistently been the busiest SE airport. The Anambra airport was marketed as a "cargo airport" to justify building it - which any serious person knew was nonsense cos air freight is very expensive and not a viable means of transporting most goods. What is the tonnage of cargo that is going through the airport? They also lied it would be funded through a PPP initiative and ended up wholly funded by the state coffers. The only reason we built it was for chestbeating purpose ("anyiwa nwekwa airport nke anyi").

But at least, building an airport is not THAT expensive (even Ebonyi managed to build one that nobody uses) and any state in Nigeria can afford it. Saddling yourself with debt to build a metro rail line is pretty mad stuff.

The truth is that we do not know how much Obiano "wasted" in his desire to complete the airport in Aguleri, but we know Obiano has always been a guy man....I never saw him as a man burning with any substantial zeal to do things right, be it as it may, we are now saddled with the airport, and we have to make the best use of its existence! The passenger traffic is ok and even encouraging, the management of the airport is maintaining the facilities there....... Soludo should continue to invest in improving the airport, it will all be good at the end of the day.

I am from Nnewi South...Asaba airport is arguably nearer to me than Awka, but what does it matter ......Awka and Asaba are all Igbo cities! I do not believe we have too many airports o. Here in Indiana, USA, we have over 140 passenger airports, airfields, and executive airports, aviation club airfields all over the state!

Gucciboy:
I completely agree that railway is Capital intensive so soludo should channel our resources for better use to avoid repeat of substandard projects like ekwuluobia flyover which can't allow passage of two vehicles.

That's big disgrace to Anambra Government

What are you blabbing about, bros! Ekwulobia is not a huge place, that flyover will serve its intended purpose........there are dozens of bridges like that all over Lagos.........the 2 old flyovers along Alhaji Masha in Surulere at Shitta and Ogunlana junction are all the same size.....and they carry thousands of cars every day! Those bridges have been there since I was in primary school in the 70s and 80s............ Soludo is not Christ, but he is an accomplished economist, and I believe he has something between his ears...........na wa o! substandard cos it is not a dualized fly over....your assessment is rather harsh!

helinues:
Those are kidnappers.

People are using herdsmen/bandits from North to be perpetrating evil in Southern part of the country

And to those who might want to insist that it's still bandits/herdsmen, how can illiterate them in their few number be disturbing how many people in the southern part of Nigeria

What precisely is the uselessness of being educated always claimed by the Southerners

whilst you mumus are dreaming of turning ndigbo into slaves ......a malicious cancerous growth is growing up your rectal regions.......keep slumbering O! Ndigbo that you want to drive away from yorubaland, are you going to drive them away from cotonou, Accra, Lome,banjul, Dakar, Juba in south Sudan, Cameroon and Gabon where you have millions of Ndigbo......stop trying to bring down a people as strong, if not stronger than you..........go and drive fulanis from your forests oga!

Lamasta:
Why is the headline saying Gov Soludo is building awka shopping mall then

Go and ask bestman..........The Awka Mall is definitely a PPP concession to sundry foods! The Ekwulobia is being developed by the Anambra State government to kick start the economy of semi-urban Ekwulobia....... Incidentally, the state government also built a motor park and hundreds of open stalls in the same Ekwulobia!

Agbegbaorogboye:
What a tragedy!!

As at 2015 when these incompetent baboons were yet to take power, external debt was just $10bn!!

Today, even with unprecedented taxation of Nigerians comparable only with the colonial days that led to revolts in Aba and Abeokuta, external debts have ballooned to $43bn!!

If you add the $3.3bn taken through NNPCL from Afreximbank to be paid back with our oil production, the external debt is actually $46.33bn!!

APC is a disaster that shouldn't befall any country

Oga...your debt is 54 billion dollars......with punitive interest
