The dollar exchanged for N412 on Monday at the Bureau De Change segment of the market. This followed a temporary suspension of sale of forex to the Bureau De Change operators in the industry by the Central Bank of Nigeria. The Association of Bureaux De Change Operators of Nigeria had made a request to the CBN to grant it market holidays, given the ongoing challenges faced in the local and global economies due to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. The CBN granted the BDCs two weeks market holiday as requested. According to the BDCs, there had been drastic decline in demand for forex due to the impact of the COVID-19 on the economy, as businesses were down and many people were not travelling. The naira had also suffered setbacks as a result of crude oil price that fell drastically in the international market, which raised speculations among the BDC operators and Nigerians in general https://www.akelicious.net/naira-depreciates-further-as-n412-sell-for-a-dollar/

| Business › Updated: Oil Prices Regain Some Ground But Still Very Low by akelicious(op): 8:29am On Mar 23, 2020 |
Oil prices regained some ground in volatile Asian trade on Monday, but remained at multi-year lows due to the double shock of the coronavirus pandemic and the Saudi-Russia price war. International benchmark Brent crude rose 2.3 percent in afternoon trade at $26 a barrel, after earlier being down about five percent. US benchmark West Texas Intermediate however also rose 1.3 percent at nearly $23 a barrel as traders bought at bargain prices — after having fallen over three percent in earlier deals. Both contracts remain at multi-year lows as lockdowns and travel restrictions to fight the virus hit demand, and top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia engage in a price war The oil prices remain low after a trillion-dollar support package for the American economy crashed to defeat, and virus deaths surged in Europe and the US over the weekend, despite heightened restrictions. The death tally jumped to more than 14,700, according to a Johns Hopkins University tracker. Prices also fell after a trillion-dollar Senate proposal to rescue the US economy was defeated because of zero support from Democrats, and with five Republicans absent from the chamber because of virus-related quarantines. The bill had proposed funding for American families, thousands of shuttered or suffering businesses and the nation’s critically under-equipped hospitals. Oil markets began plunging earlier this month after top exporter Saudi Arabia launched unilateral price cuts following a failure to secure an agreement with Russia to further reduce output and support prices. There were hopes for some action to support the market after an envoy from Texas, a top oil-producing US state, was given a rare invite to an OPEC meeting in June. But hopes for an agreement fizzled after he faced criticism for suggesting output curbs. Even if cuts are agreed at some point, they “alone will not be enough to see prices fully recover the lost ground over the last month”, said Peter Kiernan, energy analyst from the Economist Intelligence Unit. “This would need a noticeable recovery in demand, which is unlikely in the short to medium term.” https://www.akelicious.net/updated-oil-prices-regain-some-ground-but-still-very-low/

The European Union will launch a 37 billion euro investment initiative as part of a package of measures to cushion the bloc’s economies from the impact of coronavirus, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday. Other steps the EU’s executive will take include giving member states flexibility on budget deficits and state aid, von der Leyen told a news conference, in a move meant to grant full spending flexibility to Italy, the European country so far most affected by the crisis. The EU will also use 1 billion euros of EU money to guarantee up to 8 billion euros in loans to 100,000 virus-hit firms in tourism, retail, transport and other ailing sectors, von der Leyen said, confirming a Reuters report earlier this week. “I am convinced that the European Union can withstand this shock,” she said. “But each member state needs to live up to its full responsibility and the European Union as a whole needs to be determined, coordinated and united.” Von der Leyen did not provide details on where the pledged money would come from. On Tuesday she announced a 25-billion-euro investment plan based exclusively on existing EU funds already committed to EU states. EU commission vice-president Valdis Dombrovskis said that the leeway offered to states on spending did not amount to a suspension of EU fiscal rules, but would however allow much more spending and the possible interruption of budget commitments made by EU governments. https://www.akelicious.net/eu-to-launch-37-billion-euro-coronavirus-investment-initiative/

Mbaka who insisted he had no issues with the Bishop accused some individuals and media organizations of creating an unreal frosty relationship between him and the bishop in other to achieve their individual aims. He said, “Help me to correct the mendacious, heinous and horrendous impression given by the press over my relationship with my Bishop. I have no problem with my Bishop. “Am I forgiving him for what? I didn’t say that I have forgiven my bishop as they reported. I rather opined that I have forgiven all those who maligned me when I Prophesied, by the grace of the Holy Spirit, that Hope Uzodimma is going to be the Governor of Imo state. “Thanks to God for fulfilling that risky prophecy. Some people are maliciously and wickedly putting words in my mouth, in an attempt to sell their newspapers . Let them fear God and beware of the wrath of God. Fr Mbaka”.

Ahead of the US President’s state visit to India next week, an Indian man has begged authorities to let his dream of meeting Donald Trump come true. 37-year-old Bussa Krishna has a life-size statue of Trump in a shrine in his garden which he offers daily prayers to. Bussa Krishna who says President Trump is his “god,” started worshipping him four years ago claiming he ‘came to him in a dream.’ After the dream, Krishna says he employed 15 labourers to work with him for a month to make the 6-foot statue of Trump in his village in the southern state of Telangana, India. “Instead of praying to other gods, I started praying to him,” Bussa Krishna told New Delhi TV (NDTV), showing the statue of Trump in a red tie and blue suit, and calling him “my god, Donald Trump.” “My love for him has transformed into reverence.” ”That has given me immense happiness. Hence instead of praying to other gods, I started praying to him,” “I am facing difficulties because of my relatives,” Krishna said. “They tell me that I am disgracing them in society. I told them that just like you believe and worship Shiva, I believe and worship Trump. Neither of us can stop the other from doing so. “He is like a god to me, that is the reason I had his statue built. Every Friday I fast for Trump’s long life. I also carry his picture and pray to him before commencing any work. Trump sir, you are my god, Welcome to India. I am so happy.” Krishna, who lives alone, is now known locally as Trump Krishna, and his house has been dubbed Trump House.

Supreme Court have agreed to review the judgment it used, to declared Senator Hope Uzodinma, as the governor of Imo State, after series of protest letters, and wailing by Nigerians. INEC had declared Chief Emeka Ihedioha of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as the winner of the February 16th, 2019 election as the winner, but the victory was upturned by the Supreme Court, due to the evidence of cancellation in 388 polling units, presented not by INEC but APC candidate, Hope Uzodinma. The votes addition in the 388 polling units, have raised several questions, which can only be answered by the Supreme Court alone, as INEC have said that, they can only answer for the result of the election declared, that produced Ihedioha. But, our investigation reveals that, the total number of votes credited to Uzodinma, is in variance with the INEC's result. Total number of accredited voters, has gone far beyond what is on the record of INEC due to the new addition for Uzodinma in the disputed 388 polling units. We obtained the results below from an independent group, showing that each candidates scored the followings in the, 3,135 polling units at the main election. Ihedioha who is the candidate of PDP scored 273,404, and Uche Nwosu of AA got 190,364, Ifeanyi Ararume, scored 114,676, while Hope Uzodima of the APC has votes for by 96,458 people. But, according to the disputed results Supreme Court based its judgement on, in the purported omitted 388 polling units, Ihedioha was said to have zero vote, same as Uche Nwosu and Ifeanyi Ararume, while Hope Uzodima scored and unbelievable votes of 213,615. The question now is that, how did Hope scored 213,615 in just 388 polling units, out of total of 3,135 polling units? It is only Supreme Court that can shed light and clear the controversy, by inviting INEC to provide the original results from all the polling units. Supreme Court must clear itself as a matter of urgency, without allowing external influence, in order to preserve its name and integrity.

Gumi, who was a vocal critic of Jonathan when he was in power, expressed concern over the escalating security situation in the north, as Boko Haram continue to kill people freely, while the Buhari administration continues to free so-called repentant terrorists captured by soldiers. The preacher, who is now a more vocal critic of Buhari administration, stated that he had thought Jonathan was unable to end Nigeria’s security woes during his administration, but he is now convinced that Muhammadu is much worse. He said the bIoodshed under Buhari is more than doubled of what occurred under Jonathan, saying he does not see any reason why Buhari should continue to rule the country. He therefore advised the president to resign from his position. He said: “I blamed Jonathan with bIood in his hand because Boko Haram were putting b*mbs everywhere and government was not doing enough. “Anybody kiIIed under your regime, you are responsible for that bIood. If you have done your best, I can say yes, Allah can forgive you. But if you are relaxed, no; Allah will not forgive you. So it is the same thing now. “The bIoodshed now is more than, combined together, the bIoodshed during Jonathan’s regime. So now you judge yourselves to be fair. Our religion is a religion of fairness. “During Jonathan’s time when the bIood was flowing too much — mosques and churches and streets, I said let him resign because I could see he could not handle the bIood flow. “He could not handle it. I said please resign with immediate effect because you cannot handle the kiIIing of innocent people. “That is why I called for his resignation and government newspaper and others published it. Is that possible today? “Now more bIood is shed from negligence, from sleeping, from laziness, from I-dont-care. “If I am true to myself, as I called for the resignation of Jonathan, I should call for the resignation of President Buhari, and with immediate effect! And government paper should carried it also, if there is truth. “As bad as Jonathan was, he was more democratic and had given people freedom to speak — even against him. You could see when he saw there was problem, he relinquished power, saying ‘I don’t want bIood to be shed. “This man (Jonathan) build for us nine universities in the North, more than 150 Almajiri schools. Even this railway from Abuja to Kaduna. He has done a lot of things. But I was charging him because bIood; bIood is the most expensive thing in life. “There was nothing I have not said (against Jonathan). He should be impeached, he should resign, he was divisive. “So now I have one of two options. If I can not tell my own brother what I have told this man, then I should take an aeroplane from Abuja to Jonathan and say please forgive me for castigating you in public. “I rather seek his apology or castigate the president too. One of the two, there is no three. We have been patient with this government. If it is another, wallahi it would have been more than this. “People are dyng, everyday. Yesterday somebody was kidnaped. People are suffering, and nobody can say it because they have taken over out throats because they don’t want to hear something bad against the man. “Buhari is full of mistakes. Full of mistakes! He is human being like anybody. And I swear to God that there are many people here in the North that can perform better than him. Better!” https://www.akelicious.net/insecurity-i-thought-jonathan-was-incompetent-until-buhari-came-to-power-ahmad-gumi/

| Celebrities › Justin Bieber Finally Shaves His Mustache After Pressure By Fans by akelicious(op): 4:05am On Feb 17, 2020 |
Justin Bieber has finally got rid of his moustache, after the internet begged him to do so. On Sunday afternoon, the 25-year-old pop star revealed his new look on social media. “I shaved,” he declared on Instagram to his 127 million followers, alongside a selfie that showed off his major transformation. “MUSTASHIO went on holiday, but he will be back in due time.” Moreover, he captioned his image, “Baby face BIEB,” which was quite possibly a reference to the many fans who pleaded for him to shave. Just last month, Beliebers banded together for one mission: to get the “Sorry” singer to part ways with his facial hair. “Justin I love you but please shave,” one follower expressed. “Justin please shave that thing off your baby face,” another person said.

| Health › Finally Corona Virus Enters African As Case Confirmed In Egypt by akelicious(op): 5:45am On Feb 16, 2020 |
The World Health Organisation (WHO) says in the last 24 hours China has reported 1,820 laboratory-confirmed cases of Coronavirus (COVID-19), bringing the total to 46,550. Dr Michael Ryan, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme, said this in a statement posted on the agency’s website on Friday. Ryan gave the figures while briefing newsmen on COVID-19 at WHO headquarters in Geneva. “China reported 13,332 clinically confirmed cases in Hubei province. “ We understand that most of these cases relate to a period going back over days and weeks and are retrospectively reported as cases, sometimes back to the beginning of the outbreak itself. “So this increase that you have all seen in the last 24 hours is largely down to a change in how cases are being diagnosed and reported. “So, in other words, in Hubei province, only a trained medical professional can now classify a suspected case of COVID-19 as a clinically-confirmed case on the basis of chest imaging, rather than having to have a laboratory confirmation,” he said According to him, this allows clinicians to move and report cases more quickly, not having to wait for lab confirmation, ensuring that people get to clinical care more quickly. “It also allows public health responses in terms of contact tracing and other important public health measures to be initiated. ”You have noticed with suspect cases, there have been some backlogs in testing and this is also going to help ensure that people get adequate care and adequate public health measures can be taken. “So we are not dealing, from what we understand, with a spike in cases of 14,000 on one day,” he said. According to him, to an extent, this is an artefact of the reporting and we are working with our colleagues in China, and our team there are working very hard. “They are working hard to see exactly how many days and weeks and how those numbers are spread across those days and weeks. “In the rest of China and the rest of the world, laboratory confirmation for reporting is still required,” he said. According to him, WHO will continue to track both laboratory and clinically-confirmed cases in Hubei province. “We have seen this spike in the number of cases reported in China, but this does not represent a significant change in the trajectory of the outbreak. “Outside China, there are 447 cases from 24 other countries, and now two deaths. In addition to the death in the Philippines, there is now one more death in Japan,’’ he said. Meanwhile, Africa recorded its first case of COVID-19 on Friday as a foreigner who had been put in isolation at a hospital in Egypt tested positive for the disease. In a statement, the Egyptian Health Ministry said it had informed the WHO and had taken all necessary preventative measures. It did not give the nationality of the affected person or any other details. A total of 17 African countries, including Nigeria, have confirmed having facilities where the disease can be detected. Apart from Egypt, other countries where the virus has been confirmed are Singapore, the UK, Malaysia, Taiwan, Spain, Vietnam, Germany, UAE, France and Japan. Other countries where cases of the disease have been reported are Thailand, Canada, Australia, Italy, Russia, Sweden, Finland, Cambodia, and the United States. WHO said it could take 18 months for the first vaccine for coronavirus to be ready. https://www.akelicious.net/finally-corona-virus-enters-african-as-case-confirmed-in-egypt/
