Something the military cannot do in the north

alpharoyalty:
Why is this different from the many soldiers that have been killed and barracks over-ran by fulani herdsmen.
Why the cowardice from the NA

Namaster:
The membership of the IsDB is suspicious. But Nigerian Politicians have no qualms feasting with the Devil. They don't even need a long spoon.

CodeTemplar:
Wonderment. I thought jigawa was a goat farm.

Congratulations guys. Who is the 3rd person? We were told they are 3 in nos. The writer should do us a favor by telling us who the 3rd person is.

YourRealFather:
And the North Central also include Yoruba people from kogi and kwara like lai mohamed and the rest,

They will never reply this your post

hardknocksng:
He took lessons from Buhari

jkpbestseries:
As it was in Buhari so shall it be other zones that produced and become president

aviona:
Story.
Not the best practice though.

However, Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), remains the undisputed champion🏆when it comes to blatant nepotism and ethnic bigotry in appointments into public office.

markidoo:
Very possible cos that man was truly the "CLUELESS DULLARD"

abobote:
Imagine voting an illiterate like Buhari as president

seunmsg:
What do folks like you gain from lying about others? I read the full story as published in the link you provided and I did not see anything like the quote in bold above.

Tinubu’s divisive politics spreading resentment in the North as Northern Clerics call for the death of Remi Tinubu…. Interesting analysis by NedMedia

haybhi1:
Na northerner and ABU grads full this thing. I don't understand. Most who have held some top political positions or appointments have been a graduate of the school, had similar affiliations, yet Nigeria is where it is today. I hope it's not a case of connection. Or doing same thing with expectation of different results
Anyway, may these crop do things right. Fate of 224M rests on their wits.
Goodluck to us.

Nigeria’s broad money supply surged to a historic high of N93.72 trillion as of January 2024, marking a remarkable ascent.

This figure represents a staggering 76% surge from the N53.14 trillion recorded in January 2023, showcasing a substantial year-on-year growth of N40.48 trillion.

Moreover, compared to the preceding month of December 2023, which stood at N78.74 trillion, this represents a robust 19% increase, equivalent to N14.98 trillion.

The latest insights from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) unveil these profound shifts in the nation’s monetary landscape, as detailed in its comprehensive money and credit statistics.

The trajectory of Nigeria’s broad money supply (M3), a pivotal gauge of economic liquidity, has been on an undeniable upward trajectory, surging at an accelerated pace in recent years. M3 encompasses both net foreign assets and net domestic assets, painting a holistic picture of the nation’s monetary dynamics.

Why does this matter?
Recent trends underscore a pronounced expansion in Nigeria’s money stock, a trend that intersects with an array of economic challenges. Foremost among these challenges are the surging inflation rates, mounting pressures on the naira’s exchange rate, and a downward trajectory in interest rates.

The uptick in the money supply portends a potential surge in inflation, posing a significant threat to the purchasing power of Nigerians. Moreover, an inflated money stock typically correlates with a decline in interest rates, particularly in environments characterised by a dearth of viable investment prospects.

This dynamic may render Nigerian investment vehicles less attractive to global investors, a matter of grave concern considering Nigeria’s imperative for sustained dollar inflows.

More Insights
While there has been a significant surge in the money supply, the country’s economic growth has been tepid, with Nigeria’s economic growth rate for 2024 projected to be around 2.9% and 3.1%, having one of the slowest growth rates in West Africa.

This disparity is stark – the money supply is growing much faster than the economy.

supply is growing much faster than the economy
Inflation has been a significant concern, with the headline inflation rate jumping 29.9% in January 2024. Although the rate is projected to drop to 21.5% this year, it may end up peaking at 44% if adverse economic conditions persist.

As the CBN’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) gears up for its meeting, the implications of this expanded money supply on their deliberations, particularly regarding the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), are poised to take centre stage. Such discussions are pivotal in charting the course for Nigeria’s economic stability and growth.

Notably, this increase in the broad money supply comes despite the CBN’s efforts to tighten monetary policy and mop up excess liquidity.

The CBN has incrementally raised the MPR from 11.5% in May 2022 to 18.75% as of July 2023, an increase of 725 basis points in slightly over one year.

In less than a week, the current Governor Yemi Cardoso is expected to express his stance on the ongoing interest rate hikes and make a clear, bold move against rising inflation.

However, his approach may conflict with President Bola Tinubu’s plans to reduce interest rates in Nigeria, potentially setting the stage for a clash between the government’s economic objectives and the CBN’s tightening monetary policy.

Ensa777:
Just imagine what you are defending .That's General NTA and not NTA Hausa and Evil Gowon and the NTA media crew should have done their prep on him before coming on live to keep insisting he speaks Hausa.Is Ecowas for Hausa ppl alone if we are to go by your lame narrative?Why are you shameless and everywhere?

To them MB ppl who allowed sojourners overthrow them to the point of you adopting their language,you are soaked in foolishness.

To Gowon, it is good that you are alive to witness the growth of the region you wanted to annihilate,you didn't know we were seeds but your ppl are being wiped out and all your strength has failed you.You suddenly don't speak Hausa anymore.Where did it go to?

Floky215:
Rubbish as usual...they are simply disarming the natives of the little arms they are making to defend themselves from the fulani marauders...!!

Fulani uses Ak 47 assault rifles, gmpg and rpg, they should go into the bush and collect those ones then we can take them serious...!!
Nonsense...!!!

Operation SAFE HAVEN (OPSH) on Wednesday, said that troops of the command, operating under HAKORIN DAMISA IV, had discovered a gun factory in an a building in Pakachi Village of Mangu local government area of Plateau State.

The operation also said one suspect was apprehended in the building, while a large number of firearms and ammunition were found.

The discovery of the gun factory comes amidst efforts by the security agencies to restore law and order in Mangu general area where communal crisis resulted in the loss of lives and properties in recent times.

In a statement by the spokesperson of the operation, Captain Oya James, said the gun factory was discovered during a clearance operation by troops on rugged mountainous terrain.

He said, “Troops of the operation discovered an isolated structure which turned out to be a weapons fabrication factory situated on a high ground in the village.

“The operation resulted in the arrest of Mr. Tapshak Plangji, a 25-year-old male, suspected to be involved in the illegal activities at the factory. The alleged owner of the facility, Mr. Nuhu Meshack, is currently at large and efforts are underway to bring him to justice.

“Items recovered from the facility include: 5 AK 47 Rifles, 4 AK 47 Magazines, 11 Rounds of 7.62mm Ammunition, Rounds of 9mm Ammunition, 21 Dane Guns, 4 Revolver Rifles, 11 Pistols with 5 Magazines, 17 Gun Barrels, 6 Rounds of 0.44 Inch Ammunition, A Carbide Cylinder with Accessories , 3 Saws, 12 Filing Machines, 4 Hammers, 6 Manual Drilling Machines, 2 Electrically Operated Filing Machines, 2 G-Clamps, one Spraying Machine, one Tiger Generator, and Assorted Drilling Irons,” he explained.

Captain James said, “The successful operation was a testament to the commitment of the troops in collaboration with other security agencies in the fight against illegal arms proliferation and criminal activities within our communities.”

Kukutenla:
You're free to believe your own fables. Shettima only won his state in the NE
All other states were lost to Atiku. To claim that there's no Northern Christian who can pull votes in the North is to prove the religious bigotry and fundamentalism that exists in the North.
A lot of sheiks in the North viewed the Muslim Muslim ticket as a jihad and never shied from arguing it

Kukutenla:
Tinubu refused to choose a northern Christian for that same reason.
In your obtuse mind, only non-Yorubas voted Obi
You need to find somewhere to hit your head
It's doing overheating

Kukutenla:
Don't go mad trying to make silly points
Lagos did not vote based on tribe. You can tear yourself to pieces based on that na your wahala.
Atiku has never done well in the North until last year. You lie too much and even bombastic about it. You need to rest with your tomfoolery

Kukutenla:
Your first lie is that Buhari did worse in 2019 in the North than 2015. That's a big lie. Go and check your stats again.
Second no analyst every predicted Atiku to beat Buhari in the North. Except maybe PDP's analysts
Tinubu lost Lagos because lagosians don't vote along tribal or religious lines unlike the Muslim North. Why would the Muslim North divide their votes majorly among the three Muslim candidates? Simple. They vote asking tribal and religious lines!!

Kukutenla:
This your post reeks of foolishness. You voted for Tinubu because of his Muslim Muslim ticket and Buhari's open support for him and even with that, he still lost most states in the North. Yobe that has never voted PDP was won by Atiku.
I've deleted the rest of your comments because they are meaningless drivel

Kukutenla:
The north are hypocrites. And that is why Nigeria is not a country. To claim Buhari got away with murder because of cult followership is to deodorise the pungent tribal and religious fundamentalism that's at the base of his followership. Most of Buhari's followers in the CPC they formed are clueless, dumb and sectional. Just check out their performance as ministers and heads of agencies.
The only appeal they had in the north was based on tribal and religious ideology and not any superior group interest.

It is also disheartening that after the maladministration CBN went through under Buhari and Emefiele is lackey, Tinubu couldn't get a better fit for the job of repositioning such a critical institution. What's worse is his elevation of CBN above NNPCL which has fared better previously in terms of audit and compliance.
However, it is obvious Cardoso is not running a one man show. He's under the tutelage of Edun. So it's more like the voice of Cardoso but the hands of Edun. And this is not to say I agree with Kperoogi's assessment of him

The Senate Chief Whip, Ali Ndume, has dismissed claims of hating Yoruba people following his stance against relocating some departments of the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and Federal Airport Authority, FAAN, from Abuja to Lagos State.

Ndume claimed he cannot harbour hatred for the Yoruba nation because two of his daughters are married to men from the Southwest and five children among them.

He lamented that his person had been subjected to media attacks due to his intervention, stressing that subtle blackmail will not deter him from pointing out lapses in government.

A statement by Ndume reads partly: “My two daughters are married to Yoruba men, one from Lagos State and the other from Kwara State. And I’ve five grandchildren who are Yoruba. How can I hate them and allow my daughters to marry them? Those saying I hate the Yorubas, how many of their sons and daughters are married to Hausas or Northerners? I’m a true Nigerian.

“They’ve also been questioning the fact that my daughter works at the CBN. They should check her records. She’s a Nigerian and she’s qualified to work anywhere, including the CBN.

“Instead of these attacks on my person, the CBN should do its job and address the rising inflation and stabilising our exchange rates. They should leave me alone.
“President Tinubu is my friend and he knows that I support him 100%. He appreciates honest feedbacks and will not tolerate what these people around him who are becoming a political cartel are doing.

“I’ll continue to speak the truth and point out areas where corrections are needed. That’s my job as a senator. It is not personal at all.”

Sunday2021:
you are a fool if you think that calling your leaders for accountability is wailing.
Do you know what people are passing through since the satanic government has removed the subsidy

Racoon:
Hehehe! Does he even looked concerned? Awa lokan chanters of this government will favour me and my family crew them. No wonder they have long become food bandits that are now robbing vans loaded with food substances for Mogajis of the land in Bere - Mapo area of Ibadan.

"It is for eba, garri or corn", "reduce their purchasing power", "take aways their recruitment source." snatch it, grab it and run away with power." Does these statements make sense to una? A man with well known criminal antecedents made then, yet people clapped and cheered with gusto. More shege promaximus still loading. Make una dey play.

USA like Brazil is obviously going to have a high homicide figure you fool. The US is the 3rd most populous nation in the world. You can’t just compare raw figures. India is more dangerous than Nigeria now? 😂😂

Let’s also just ignore how severely underreported crime is in Nigeria. Nigeria Homicide Rate is 34 per 100,000. USA is only 6. UN Estimates that over 64,000 Nigerians die every year from homicide.

Understanding the Pope’s position on the blessing of Same-Sex relationships before rushing to misrepresent the truth:

*“Fiducia supplicans"* in simpler terms:

*1. Blessings, not marriage:* The Church understands blessings as ways to ask for God's grace and favour in various situations. This document clarifies that it's possible to bless same-sex couples without recognizing their union as marriage.

*2. No change in marriage teaching:* The Church's teaching on marriage as between a man and a woman remains unchanged. This blessing gesture doesn't endorse their relationship but shows God's love for all.

*3. Blessings come in different forms:* There are formal blessings, like at weddings, and informal ones, like at shrines. This document focuses on informal blessings, where anyone, including those in irregular relationships, can ask for God's blessing.

*4. Blessings show humility and need for God:* Asking for a blessing expresses trust in God and a desire for his goodness. Even if someone's situation isn't perfect, they can still seek God's grace.

*5. Blessings have limits:* While the Church can offer blessings to everyone, it can't bless anything contrary to God's will. So, this blessing doesn't legitimize same-sex unions but asks for God's guidance and love.

*6. Discernment and respect:* The document encourages pastors to use their judgment when deciding about such blessings. The setting and words should be clear to avoid confusion with marriage ceremonies.

*7. Hope and openness:* Ultimately, this document reflects the Church's desire to welcome everyone with God's love and mercy, even those in challenging situations. It's a step towards greater understanding and pastoral care.

*Remember:* This is a simplified explanation of a complex document. For a deeper understanding, consult the original text (the English version begins on pages 20 through 28) --
