SportsRe: IN PICTURES: SA's Springboks Receive A Heroes Welcome As Rugby World Champions by aQUINandmore: 7:04pm On Oct 31, 2023
Congrats to TMKsouth, congrats to South Africa and congrats to Africa. I am writing this heartfelt message from Nigeria to express my sincere congratulations to the South Africa national rugby team for their remarkable victory in the Rugby World Cup, clinching their fourth title. Your achievement resonates far beyond the borders of South Africa and carries a powerful message of unity, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of our beloved continent.

In witnessing your incredible success, I am reminded of the importance of solidarity and support for our fellow African nations. Your triumph on the rugby field is a testament to what can be achieved when we stand together, united by a shared dream. It sends a powerful message to the world that Africa is a force to be reckoned with, not only in sports but in all aspects of life.

As a Nigerian, I may not have a rugby tradition like South Africa, but your victory instills a sense of pride and belonging in all of us Africans. It reminds us that we are one, that the success of one nation is a success for all of Africa. It encourages us to support and celebrate each other's achievements, whether on the sports field or in various other endeavors that uplift our continent.

In this moment of celebration, I urge all Africans, beginning from out nairaland people to come together and rally behind our fellow Africans in their endeavors, whether in sports, culture, business, or any other field. Let us be each other's greatest supporters, allies, and champions. Together, we can make Africa shine even brighter on the global stage, abi I lie?

PoliticsRe: Naija: Instead Of Dollars We Can Use Gold as FX by aQUINandmore: 6:46pm On Oct 31, 2023
GerogeI:
Floating of currency means creating a free market to determine the exchange rate. It has no import or xport advanage. Import and export advantage lies in the over valuation (eg. Pound) or undervaluation ( eg. Yuan) of the currency, not the mechanism of price determination whether float of fixed.

Further, Naira as it currently is, is not floating, rather it is under graduated free fall. Because a free market must always balance demand and supply. Its a bit tricky to understand this balance when it comes to currency pairs. Each currency must be freely demanded and freely supplied to the market. CBN has created what it considers a free demand and free supply for foreign currencies, without creating a free demand and free supply for Naira. Fireigners are importing from Nigeria without ouching Naira. This is why the exchange negotiations is against naira. It is not floating, rather it is in free fall.

Read and understand what I have said before talking about whether floating a currency is a good idea. Countries with limited economic leverages do not load their currencies. United Kingdom does not. USA is essentially using military might to force everyone to use dollar. They do not need any float. They can print as much dollar as they want without consequences. Chinese Yuan is devalued because China is a manufacture and wants to dump goods to kill other peoples local industries. So why is Naira to be floated? We are not manufacturers, we are consumers just like UK.
While your write-up raises valid concerns and perspectives regarding the floating of the Nigeria currency, there are some points that can be disputed or further analyzed:

1. *Import and Export Advantage: your write-up suggests that the advantage in import and export lies in the overvaluation or undervaluation of a currency rather than the mechanism of price determination (floating or fixed). While exchange rates do play a significant role, it's essential to acknowledge that a floating exchange rate system can influence a country's trade balance. A weaker currency can make exports cheaper and imports more expensive, potentially improving trade competitiveness.

2. *Naira's Floating Status: The argument that the Naira is not floating but in a free fall due to a lack of balance between demand and supply is a legitimate concern. However, it's important to note that currency exchange rates can be influenced by various factors, including economic conditions, foreign investment, and government policies. A true floating exchange rate system should allow market forces to determine the exchange rate without significant intervention.

3. *Foreign Exchange Market: you raised the issue of foreign importers not needing to touch Naira. This is a complex issue as it involves the accessibility and convertibility of the currency. A floating exchange rate system typically allows for the exchange of currencies based on market forces, but the issue of accessibility to Naira for foreign importers depends on the policies and regulations set by the central bank and government.

4. *Comparison with Other Countries: The argument suggests that Nigeria should not float the Naira because countries like the UK and the USA do not float their currencies. While it's true that not all countries have fully floating exchange rates, it's important to consider the unique economic conditions and goals of each country. The UK, USA, and China have different economic structures, trade priorities, and international roles compared to Nigeria. Floating the currency might be more suitable for some countries and less so for others.

5. *Economic Leverage and Currency Valuation: The assertion that countries with limited economic leverage do not need to float their currencies is a broad generalization. Economic policies and currency exchange rate mechanisms should be tailored to a country's specific economic circumstances and goals. Floating a currency can offer benefits such as flexibility and the ability to respond to changing economic conditions.

Though your opinion raises valid concerns and offers a perspective on currency floating, but it's important to consider that the decision to float or fix a currency is not one-size-fits-all. Each country's unique economic circumstances, goals, and external pressures should be carefully evaluated when determining the most appropriate exchange rate mechanism. Additionally, the impact of currency exchange rate policies on trade, foreign investment, and domestic economic stability should be part of the discussion.

PoliticsRe: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Visits Yoruba Cultural Centre In Lagos by aQUINandmore: 11:34am On Oct 31, 2023
As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.

Give me 5 with Kaduna and Abuja rail that u borrowed to build

I would wait
abeg which kind mumu children come full dis politics section for nairaland sef, abeg make una dey stick to romance section abeg shocked shocked
Make I help you with few benefits here.
*Reduction in Road Congestion: The Abuja kaduan rail system has led to a decrease in road congestion, as more people and goods opt for rail travel. This, in turn, reduces wear and tear on roads and lowers maintenance costs, benefiting the local and national economy.

*Enhanced Productivity: The Abuja kaduna rail ensures reliability and punctuality for people and businesses along the Abuja kaduna corridor, the rail service allows businesses to better plan and optimize their supply chains. This predictability and efficiency in logistics can leads to increased productivity and cost savings for industries relying on transportation.

*Improvement of Livelihoods: Access to the rail system has improved the livelihoods of individuals living in Abuja, Kaduna, and the surrounding areas. It has expanded the pool of employment opportunities, increased access to education and healthcare, and improved overall living standards, indirectly contributing to the economic well-being of the population.

*Job Creation and Economic Development: The construction and operation of the rail system have generated employment opportunities, directly and indirectly. The infrastructure development phase created jobs in construction, while the operational phase continues to provide employment in various roles, including train operators, station staff, and maintenance personnel. Additionally, the improved connectivity has attracted investment and business development in the region, fostering economic growth.

*Boost to Regional Trade and Commerce: The improved transportation infrastructure has stimulated regional trade and commerce. Businesses can now more easily transport their products to different markets, and consumers can access a wider range of goods and services. This has contributed to economic growth and the expansion of local businesses.

*Enhanced Connectivity and Accessibility: The rail system has improved connectivity between Abuja, the capital city, and Kaduna, a major economic hub in northern Nigeria. This increased accessibility has facilitated the movement of people and goods, supporting business activities and trade between these two important cities.

*Reduction in Transportation Costs: The rail system provides a more cost-effective mode of transportation for both passengers and freight. By offering an affordable and efficient alternative to road travel, it has helped to reduce transportation costs for individuals, businesses, and industries in the region.

the Abuja-Kaduna rail system has provided economic benefits by enhancing connectivity, reducing transportation costs, boosting regional trade and commerce, creating job opportunities, and attracting tourism and investment. These advantages have not only improved the quality of life for residents but have also contributed to the overall economic development and prosperity of the region, I no say you fit no even understand all these things sef.

For the fact that you don't know the economic benefit of a viable rail system in an economy like Nigeria doesn't mean others don't.
I can give you 20 economic benefits of rail in Nigeria without straining my brain a bit.

And about borrowing, where else do you expect the govt to fund the project if not borrowing?
USA, Australia, France, UK etc all borrow money for projects, France even took loan for her TGV rail project, UK did, even Germany does.

You spend over $3 billion dollars for rail ways and you are expecting $170 million dollars in
10 years ..... Am sure it cost more than $50 million to run these trains yearly



My issue is we Borrowed money to build this rubbish trains that has little or no economic benefits... How can you borrow money to build something that would make u spend more money

Socialism is anti development

If $3 billion dollars were given to pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria since 2015 as a loan at 5%

1) we would have that money back again plus 5% interest
2) we would be a net exporter of drugs earning dollars
3) companies revenues would grow increasing government revenue
4) thousand would be employed increasing payee tax
5) GDP would have grown by at least 8 billion dollars

If we give that to garment factory
If we used that money to revive aluminum company in ikot ekpene
If we used that money to help glass importers set u floating glass factory
If we used that money to help Leather works industry
If we used that money to make improved agriculture seedlings available


Each of this would yeild more

Just like the useless awolowo cocoa house that can never break even in this life or the next... Nigerian APC leaders like feel good projects...
To them economic viability is not important
Just build it let people praise us
