Do you care following the last budget capital expenditure? Or did you listen to budget presentation when it was presented? The problem of this country is ignorance, greed and self interest not even literacy.

The naira has recorded further gain, closing at 365 per United States dollar.
The local currency closed at 367/dollar on Friday, after closing between 367/dollar and 368/dollar for most days of last week.
The local unit had closed at 371/dollar the previous week, after rising to 374/dollar from 382/dollar.
Currency analysts have said they expect the naira to be stable across the board in the near term on increased dollar supply to both the official interbank window and the black market.
According to Reuters, the Central Bank of Nigeria has been intervening on the official market to try to narrow the spread between the official interbank and black markets.
The CBN has sold over $4bn since February, improving dollar supply and providing support for the naira.
The Acting Director, Corporate Communications, CBN, Mr. Isaac Okorafor, said there were plans by the apex bank to make necessary interventions in the forex market this week, in line with its earlier resolve to achieve forex rates convergence and liquidity in the market.
The recent gains recorded by the local unit have brought the CBN closer to its plan to achieve rate convergence.
However, economic experts have said that whichever way the regulator wants to achieve this convergence (either around the lower band of N305/dollar, mid-point band of N320/dollar or around the upper band of around N360/dollar), the country has a huge price to pay.
According to them, achieving convergence around the official rate of N305/dollar will take a long time as the CBN does not currently possess the stock of forex to push the parallel market rate from the current N380/dollar to the official rate level of N305/dollar.
Conversely, the experts argued that to achieve rate convergence at the upper limit of say N360/dollar, the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) might need to go up significantly from the current N145 per litre.
According to them, oil marketers currently access forex from the CBN at N305/dollar.
Any attempt to achieve rate convergence around the upper limit of around N360/dollar will force oil marketers to increase the pump price of petroleum products.
This, experts said, would have severe inflationary pressure on the economy, causing general increase in the prices of several goods and services.
The central bank may need to decide what it intends to achieve.
“The choices are left with the monetary authority (the CBN) to determine whether they want to achieve rate convergence at the lower band or at the upper band,” the Managing Director, Cowry Assets Management Limited, Mr. Johnson Chuwku, said
“If you want to achieve rate convergence at the upper limit, it will affect petrol price. If it has to be at the lower limit of say N305/dollar, and this cannot happen overnight,” he added.

When you were visiting nnamdi kanu in prison and appraising him as a freedom fighter and Buhari's government of witch hurting. That time was keeping Nigeria as one right? Let us do this thing for once, let this country break it is obvious we don't want to live together. The north should go away biafra should gain their independence if that is what we want.

India top the list, make Nigeria borrow them road safety nah

This is serious, these countries must have been as lawless as Nigeria

Get away you, no be for America them go bring you? You are talking about over independent on foreign goods and you drive Roy Royce why not inno motors? You people make noise and one fact is that you the ruling class patronise foreign product than the poor. You carry big money to invest outside the country

Hahaha ha haha fake news by a hungry Igbo man, middle belt is solely submissive to the federal republic of Nigeria

What is the difference between biafra agitation and the quit notice given to the Igbos? You people saw nothing wrong with nnamdi kanu and others. But now why are you citing the quit notice as wrong, is that not what you people are looking for? Hmmmmmm I can see fear even in the midst of opportunity

Kai madness. Try more at work

Stay there come back in New Nigeria free of the igbos

Igbo Christians and Igbo Jews hahaha pre - independence what?

Okay no problem, your settlement day is coming soon, go and ask Gaddafi and Osama bi Lydden

What I know is that these self interest politicians are poisoning the mind of the people bringing all of these agitations but one thing is that even my blood brother the moment you get into politics, I will stop taking your words seriously

onlyhandsome202:
This fight is between the South and the northern side. one Nigeria indeed.

tribalist spotted, tribalism will never end, then it was APC fighting against PDP now it is North and south. Now Osinbajo a southerner is acting president and you are accusing north against south

This corruption fight is becoming boring if the chief justice is corrupt, then where are we heading to

Eyaa let Nigeria break, and we will see who will loss, Nigeria has nothing to loss though, but my only concern is self interest armies fighting for the independence of biafra

This is serious, OK come to Nigeria and you will talk another thing

You have all three months nah, what again? But I pray that the north should not be addicted to boko boys and biafrans too pipe line bombing should not be their portion, when everyone go on their separate ways

In words please. Sorry we are in digital age

It is a lie, only the Igbo States yoruba too is not included.

Good for the political class

It is obvious the middle belt has unveil their currency. Something has to be done or the country is in chaos

plaetton:
Do you know the definition of greed ?
I doubt you do.

A product of failed educational system and a failed state.
A failed reasoning ability.

it is obvious when the south is in power, nobody will make noise but when any northerner comes in power. Niger delta militants and biafrans will spring up. Is that not greed for power and possessions? When your father is dumb, your mother is dumb I don't expect you to be bright. Village fool

A civic group, ActionAid Nigeria, has urged the Nigerian government to employ wisdom and foresight in addressing the resurgent agitation for Biafra in the country.

According to the group at its annual general meeting on the state of the nation held in Abuja on Saturday, to eradicate the agitation, the federal government needs to create a process of discussion between the citizens, intelligence agencies and the government at all levels.

Fielding questions from journalists after the meeting, the country director of the group, Ojobo Atuluku, said, “Nigerians are dissatisfied with how the federal structure operates because the citizens have not seen the benefits of democracy and are yet to enjoy the nation’s wealth”.

She explained that agitation in different forms was taking place in all the six geo- political zones of the country, warning that unless space is created for discussion, more agitations would spring up.

“There is dissatisfaction everywhere. The gap is that Nigerians do not want to trust our leaders. When our leaders get together to discuss the dimension of the country, those who are not around the table do not want to trust those that are there. It is an issue of how well our leaders represent our interest and how is the transparency opened to us.”

Also speaking, the chairman of the governing board of the group, Patricia Donli, further warned that as long as there were perceived marginalisation and inequality, the agitations would go on.

“People have come up with good recommendations on how these issues can be solved but nothing has been done, which includes the suggestion of the National Political Reform Conference under the chairmanship of late Niki Tobi.”

Another leader of the organisation, Amaka Azuike, said the major issue raising tension in Nigeria is tribalism, predicting that when this is tackled, other causal agents like greed, immorality and leadership mediocrity can be worked on.

“We should desist from the myopic notion that one nation is impossible. Ask a Nigerian where he is from and his first answer will be his tribe rather than declaring himself as a Nigerian. All hands must be on deck against all Issues of war, ethno-religious war and selfishness.”

She said for Nigeria to be one is a task for everyone, stressing, “we must declare ownership of the nation together and delete the notion of a Biafra nation”.

The meeting of the group was held in the week that Nigerians in the south-eastern part of the country observed a sit-at-home protest called by secessionist groups to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the declaration of the short-lived Biafra Republic by the late Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu.

Forty-seven years after the Nigerian Civil War ended with the surrender of the secessionists, the Biafra is being reawakened by the agitation for its rebirth.

One of the agitators, Nnamdi Kanu, was on April 25 released from prison custody on bail after he was arrested in October 2015 and charged with treasonable offences by the Federal Government.

In a press statement later made available to PREMIUM TIMES, ActionAid acknowledged the efforts of the federal government in addressing the challenges confronting the nation’s economy, especially through the reduction in the duties of 115 items in various sectors of the economy. The organisation, however, pointed out the downside to the reduction in tariff on some of the items.

“It is observed that some of the items on the list of goods benefiting from tariff reduction on the January policy are finished consumer items for which the country has potentials for their production. We want the federal government to put in place measures that will ensure that the good intention of the reduction of the import tariff does not become injurious to the economy and industry development by reviewing the list and making strong plans for the revival of manufacturing in the country,” the group stated.
