Not surprised. Nigeria is the key figure and major provider for ECOWAS... They want our money..

You said it all bro

90 percent of the comments here are negative comments and i don't think that's what we need. We all knew this was going to happen someday so why don't we talk about solutions instead of blaming everything and everyone. See ehn if naija fit survive the civil war and all the long list of military coups and problems in this country even the panic that came with the border closure, we can survive this!

PDP governors go hear am

Those are just political divisions and have no legal backing i think.

What if the civil war never happened

See how unkept they are looking. How law enforcement officer go they carry beards

Nice development

ValCon888:
British people go hear am.
They will know who Trump is today.

As much as I hate to admit it, China is ruling the world on 5G technology. They have the highest number of 5G patents in the world and their technology is cheap. Furthermore, China is already working on 6G.

It will take the U.S. 5years to get to where China is on deployment alone.

For those who don't understand the post. Trump is threatening trade war with UK if they agree to use China's 5G technology.

what is this one saying. That China has 5g or is working on 6g network doesn't mean they have better technology than the US. Huwai buys most of it's technology components from the US and most of chinas techs are inferior. If you had said japan, i would have agreed with you but not china.

Nigeria leads 6 nations opposed to change of CFA franc to Eco


Six West African countries have criticised what the changes of the regional CFA Franc currency to Eco, saying its not in line with what was agreed for the adoption of a single regional currency.

Members of the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ) Convergence Council said they “noted with concern” the December 21 announcement “to unilaterally rename” the CFA franc, used by eight countries, as the Eco by 2020.

The move “is not in line” with plans by regional bloc ECOWAS to adopt a single currency also called the Eco, they said in a statement issued after talks in the Nigerian capital Abuja.

They called for an extraordinary summit of WAMZ “to discuss this matter and other related issues.”

The rebuke came after a major announcement that sought to turn the page on CFA franc’s perceived colonial-era connection.

Eight countries use the West African CFA franc — Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo, which are former French colonies, as well as Guinea-Bissau, a former Portuguese colony.

The currency has long been attacked as a colonial relic.

It was set up by France in 1945 and is backed with reserves held at the Bank of France in Paris.


Macron and Ouattara’s announcement did not say how the change would dovetail with plans by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

The 15-nation bloc last year set the goal of creating a single currency, also named the Eco, in 2020.

Eight ECOWAS nations use the CFA franc but the bloc’s economy is dominated by Nigeria, and their monetary criteria — essential for a smooth transition to a single currency — are very divergent.

The WAMZ Convergence Council meeting was attended by finance ministers and central bank governors of The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, which are English-speaking, and of Guinea, which is French-speaking and chaired the talks.

The December 21 announcement applies only to the CFA franc that is used in West Africa.

A parallel CFA franc is used by six other countries in central Africa. Its future, too, also faces questions as a result of the announcement in Abidjan.

i don't know why this is so funny to me

Trapping:
US will pay dearly for this folly. Killing a government official OPENLY (Not in a war theatre) and admitting to it, is the most foolish thing that has been done since world warII.

What Trump had effectively done by Killing Soleimani is that he has established that in this war of attrition between nations killing foreign diplomats is a fair game.

I repeat, going after a diplomat and killing him publicly is a no-no and I believe the US will regret this action, and this may hurt trumps chance of reelection. Iran is no pushover!!

According to US laws, the iranian revolutionary guard is a terrorist organisation hence the justification for his murder. Besides the guy is a known evil.

marvin906:
stop.overhyping the US please..
in conventional war the US is gonna win buh it won't be easy have done alot of study on iran military and they aren't push over's one on one they will take out Saudi Arabia even will all the money Saudi Arabia are throwing on weapons..buh in an uncoventional war the US has no chance

It seems you've forgotten that it was the west(CIA and co) who invented unconventional wars

It is Ambrose ali university Ekpoma not Benin

We have a long way to go in this country.

If it were America i know say i go fear CIA pass the US ARMY. I'd like to think all this agencies are somewhat similar.

AkeNathan:
What's FG doing with Igbo business men

Innoson was dragged through out Buhari's first tenure.

Now Onyema and Ubah.

Arthur Eze howfar ? Prepare

Is the federal government lying?
The guy is owning so are many other business men out there. It has nothing to do with which tribe they come from.

Election done come!
Yeye done they smell.

This are the kind of things/people still causing problems for us in this country with all this kind of talk. We don't owe any particular region any gratitude!

Can someone explain to me why they're representatives from the north in NDDC? Or do they still have people representing the south in North east development commission?

Since they want to stop rotational presidency, we would gladly accept......but first let them decentralise power. Every state should have larger control of its people and it's resources!
