I thought Gowon was a human being until his last comment last week. The people he was fighting for are killing his people everyday and he has not said anything about it. The hausas damaged his family tomb including his father own in wusasa Zaria during riots of 1987. The north never regards him being a supposed Christian. Posterity knows how to pay people back their evil deeds. The main people who fought Nigeria civil war are the benue plateau people. Today how far with these tribes. Fulanis have displaced and continue killing them on a daily basis. After destroying all the wealth of Ibo people are they not more educated more richer than all the tribes in Nigeria.. Just as Omihobo said Gowon point out how you positively affected the life of ibos using 3Rs
They never born any person in Nigeria to break the spirit of an ibo man. If they like let them hold Nnamdi Kalu for the next 10 years they can never break his spirit. Even they kill him today there are thousands of Kalu's in ibo land.

According to which stats or source can you people stop reading Forbes upside down

I don't blame Igbos for hating Nigeria so much.

Nigeria does not reward talent or competence. Nigeria is filled with ethnic bigots. I see it everyday at work and in the community. Just speak my language and you'll be favoured above others.

Whether IGBOS hate Nigeria or Not is up to them, BUT with all sense of Fairness did Nigerians wronged East ... NO
The coup that led to the civil war was started by who ?? after the killings did they show any remorse or ever apologized.

During the civil war, Awolowo still make sure food & stock fish were sent to the East, post civil war IGBOS properties & account were refunded plus £20, on top that jakande still gave igbos land in lagos for business

Yorubas lost more prominent leaders to the civil war, which leaders did IGBOS lose?? despite everything Ojukwu was pardoned nd paid gratuity till death, ... Yet they are always the victim.

IF Nigerians can't trust IGBOs with leadership, whose fault is it ?? if your wife cheat onces can the trust ever be normal again

Namaster:
All these "see the tomatoes I bought for #3000" and "see the pot of soup I cooked with #4000" need to stop.

Seun take note.

Nigeria is FUUUCKKED. We don't need a bunch of PR to know it.

IF we don't talk about how FUUUCKKED the nation is how will the GOVT know where and where the shoe pinches ...

Don't forget we have a president who all his life don't know what is like to wake up as a Full grown man and not have #100 or hope of what to eat anywhere ... BAT & family can't even relate with the poverty experiences people share that why its imperative to showcase descriptive images

I give up nothing. At first I tried cutting cost. Used one useless dishwash that peeled my fine skin. Last last I ran back to Morning Fresh.

I just thank God I took the hard decision to focus on remote work and a harder decision to resign my 9to5. My colleagues discouraged and scared me. I don't blame them. It was all genuine concern. But I did what I had to do.

A week back one of them asked me for electricity units and I told her to send her meter number. Recharged 20k for her and she was so happy. Mentally it was $12 to me. To her it was 20k.

I thought afenifere chieftain pa fasoronti said you should not join the protest. Disobedient children.

Even the thugs used in lagos to scatter elections done see shege.
You see them now, ebbinpawa don tear their skull. Na dem carry obi for head now.
They are the ones praying for peter obi to take the seat.
Hunger na your mate?


A yoruba man i

Lets assume Peter Obi is the president and SW are showing the same energy to protest and hold the govt accountable will our brothers in the East not discredit it as "Tribalism"

South west as shown National interest is more paramount than "Our son" "Our brother" gibberish some people always say

You have not answered my question.

Every choice has a reason. What is the reason B was the choice of some people during the election.

With all due respect, so much bullshit.
I don't know how old you are, but don't you get a very laugh when the government or its agencies use the word ' Transparency ' ?
' Transparency in forex transactions in Nigeria ' ?
Which Nigeria are you referring to ?
If there has never been Transparency in forex transactions over the last 40yrs, how is that going to happen now? Are you importing aliens to run our banking system now ?

Secondly, you talk about sovereignty of the Naira.
Another fanciful but meaningless phrase.
No such thing as sovereignty of the Naira. Buhari completely sold put the Naira's sovereignty when he embarked on an 8yr borrowing spree with nothing, zero increase in productivity,employment, tax base and standard of living.
Pls tell us how a heavily indebted country, with debt servicing ratio of 80% to 100% , with an import dependent economy that runs on generators powered by imported fuel can have sovereignty of its national currency?
All these ad-hoc policies once again demonstrate that the government is confused, just like all of us, and playing the blame game.

And to reality again, Nigeria runs the most expensive, the most inefficient and the most corrupt political system in the world. That, my friend , is the root of all our problems.

The Nigerian economy and the Naira are both in the pits. No Hail Mary policies are going help at this moment.

There is a disparity between public service framework and Money merchant framework ... the revolution carried out in banking sector is enough guarantee that "transparency can be where ever we want it to be"
When okonjo iweala was financed minister she published almost everything down to local disbursement that we thought was impossible ... its just a matter of commitment & deliberate efforts
Digitalizing the FX market is a enough guarantee to facilitate "Transparency" ... even if some try to bypass it, a forensic audit can expose it


America is highly indebted, the things you point out are problems we have being facing since time immemorial, but the present free fall of Naira is artificial and naija made

take it or leave it

There is a reason for every choice. What is the reason for B as some people's choice?

The same reason A has to be some peoples choice is the same reason B has ... thats common sense

Some talk just reeks of foolishness, So i went to queue under the sun to vote Tinubu becos i believe he wil punish IGBos and not becos i feel he can transform the nation to make my life better how delusional can people be

And how will Tinubu punish Igbos without it affecting his supporters, under the same market same economic .. make una dey use una brain naw

immortalcrown:
May the souls of those who died in the event rest in peace.

So, an APC member died in the stampede? I am not mocking the dead. I sincerely wish all the dead a peaceful rest. I just want people to know that when you plant evil thinking it will favour you against those you hate, the evil will not change its nature towards you.

[sub][/sub]
Custom officers are Nigerians. Those who went for the cheap Rice are Nigerians. Most Nigerians are liars. I find neither the Custom nor the stampeders totally innocent in this case.

I just find such statement appalling, election is about choices and everyone exercised there right ... why will a you think someone voted mr B just to get at certain people .. whats the rationale

You people just come up it all manners of absurd mindset, how is my voting for Tinubu an attempt to teach Igbos or Peter Obi a lesson ??
another one trending is Yorubas are begging Igbos to join protest does tribe even count in protest, or does oyingbo market no say one person no come

Laughs in availability

There are importers who have almost 10 million dollars worth of machinery to be paid for and are looking for forex

Now imagine cbn telling everyone go to your bank the bank must answer you

It only means the cbn has unlimited forex to satisfy them

Unfortunately it doesn’t.

Unless Nigeria diversify its economy to a point where it earns extra forex on the international market excluding crude oil, there is no hope for Nigeria as it will always suffer from a balance of trade deficit .

All of these measures are temporarily and will never work because the foundation it was built on is faulty

1 dollar can be 1 naira ( yes theoretically it’s possible ) and it can only happen when Nigeria earns ( exports ) way much more than it imports ( a balance of trade surplus )

There is agriculture there are rare metals etc

Well until then it is well

CBN does not have enough FX supply BUT Black Market have the FX to meet all demands ... does that make any sense

We all know how CBN get FX to supply, how black Market they get FX to meet demands

Before patient get to hospital the priority of the paramedics is to Stabilize the patient, that where our economic presently find itself, with good temporary measures in place we can always build on it, for now survival 1st beko

Yankee101:
There’s a reason it’s called black market
If you could regulate it then it’s not black market

Black market that has no semblance of shade or darkness .... e don cast

i just pray they go on to implement and enforce the policies

plaetton:
Another nonsensical ad hoc policy dead on arrival.
I still fail to understand how restricting the availability of forex would help the Naira.
Nigeria is heavily dependent on imported goods, from toothpick to the very fuel we use to run our generator-economy. Therefore, forex would always be in great demand. If the supply is disrupted by ill-conceived ad hoc policies, the value of the available forex would always go up and up.

What you don't know simply ask, Restricting the availability of dollar is a calculate attempt to dissuade the insane all time high demand of FX,
The whole idea is to made FX process Transparent and easy to monitor, ... these will wade off speculators and unwanted guest on the long run.
The essence is to go from High demand to Genuine demands, any reduction in demand for FX is a boost to the Naira.
Reinforcing Naira sovereignty within the economy will reinstate confidence in the Naira and that will trigger a boost in value.

America is the largest net importer, infact Benine republic import more than Nigeria, that we import is not enough justification for the present state of our economic or free fall naira

9jatriot:
Very good.... CBN dishing it out hot... Any thing above that should be by transfer.

That means intra bank transfer of forex should now be available.

However, it is interesting how USD has become a secondary currency in Nigeria

These is a pointer they are reading and listening to everything We are saying ... most of the direcives are things we have proposed here on NL and other media outlets

If the govt is clueless no wahala as long as they have listening ear, two heads are beta than one

Eriokanmi:
Government is a custodian of state and every aspect of it. If things get better, give kudos to the government in power,likewise if it goes the other way round.

Bandits, armed robbers , kidnappers, ritualists, yahoo boys, name it...they had their way today cos government is a leader in all the vices we see and nobody is challenging them. If they can steal public money and get away with it 99% of the time, why won't citizens too find a way of behaving like them?

Before buhari/idiagbon gained power in the 80s, what happened to the apc members which was caused by stampede over rice palliatives used to be the order of the day, at the bank, at bus stops, parks, in most places. But when buhari/idiagbon came, they introduced queuing. That's what you grew up to see. It never existed before them. If you still see places where they queue today, it was buhari/idiagbon who introduced it in 1983, though idiagbonwas the one in power. Buhari was a mere figurehead who lacked wisdom.

The government of the day doesn't value life. They're worse than the pdp they once challenged. The proofs are there. They see people as mere animals and treat them as one. Those people didn't deserve to die if the activity was well coordinated. They can't challenge the police deployed to the venue, had they enforced queuing and conducted the whole thing in an organised way. When people go abroad, they behave well, even queue at airports cos they know the implications of breaking their rules. But when same people get here, they know govt is number one law breaker, they don't join queues.

I agree Govt is the custodian of state but that does not exclude people playing a role or cooperation, however you chose to look at it

Listen, Govt is the custodian of state NOT "Behaviour" ... if govt have to implore force to get people to behave like humans then something is fundamental wrong with the "People".
Before now we have being insulting, lambasting and cursing the govt that all there palliative measures are not getting to the people, and finally they came up with "ONE" viable, and Nigerians ruined it in ONE day, at what point will Nigerians ever look inward and take responsibility. now no more awoof rice who lose ? who die ?.. una no dey think nii

Becos govt want to sell mere rice to citizens, battalion of soldiers should have being mounted at positions, yet we all claim to be westernize, shouldnt it be a shame that at these age we can't still coordinate ourselves without lethal force .. until one small military boy hold koboko up b4 a graduate knows he has to be on queue .. everything naa govt fault.

Almost 40yrs ago Buhari enforce queue using Force, people were flogged, and 40yrs after we are still proposing such idea .. inside democracy we no dey shame

why must police & military be mounted before Nigerians can behave like civil people ... are we cursed today is monday ... even people wey no get job are on the road in a hurry to nowhere smh

aimmoney9:
Sacrifice kill you there.......

So because we do not want to join your uselesss protests you are talking rubbish........

Go and tell tinubu your president, a Yoruba man to make the sacrifices........

The fact that igbos are not joining the protests really pained the yorubas, because we have seen through their deceit.......

Ordinary protests wey igbos no join, see as yorubas dey cry........

I can see its funny to you, IGBOs have never joined Yorubas to protest since creation don't know why you feel Yorubas will be pained over a non-existing cooperation. na u sabi

Nigerians are suffering and yet again we see the IGBOs dancing and rejoicing over mere "BOYCOTT" but when 2027 comes they jump out and suddenly expect sames Nigerians they are mocking to VOte there candidate

Like i said before, IGBOS have no history of protest for National course, however we respect there choice to Boycott all protest Just as they must respect Nigerians choice when they are Marginalized
you can't reap where you no sow ...

Eriokanmi:
To manage people had become so difficult for these clueless set of people..they've succeeded in improving on all they've acussed the pdp of.

I remember the NCS recruitment exercise stampede. Abba Moro was called all manner of names, as if the group who later became apc and a ruling party knew how to do it better. We have a lot of criminals in this country. Aba moro is still walking freely today

You aint making sense, we see these animalistic before everytime, at the filling station, on the road, almost everywhere Nigerians have no chill everybody seems to be in an hurry

If it was an army barrack will any of those animals try what they did at the customs office

No be everything we go they blame Govt jare

Massiveglory:
Condolences.
They died because of hunger. Tinubu induced hunger.
They died trying to get something for their families.
The died because of a desperate grab and run with it mafia who grabbed what does not belong to him and in doing so turned Nigerians into IDPs

Those of you who support this tinubu criminality should be careful.
Yes, everyone is hungry and angry but karma has its own special way of hitting and dealing with people who celebrate and support evil.
My 2 cents.

They didnt die cos of hunger, they died cos of foolishness

Go n watch the video, even army was among those climbing fence, if they stayed and behaved like humans they will still be alive

Nigerians just love to behave like animals, the only time you will Nigerians behave like sane humans is when they travel abroad, queue they can't queue here they do it calmly abroad


Anyone with 10k in his or her pocket is not hungry, most of them are retailers/sellers desperate for "Gains"

nairalanda1:
Don't engage that guy.

His job is to make you look foolish.

Better stop now.

if thats how to make someone look foolish, no wonder jamb sacked him.

lexy2014:
that is not what I asked you. how those all this grammar negate what he said that "Atiku would have done better than Ebola Tinubu"?


who is the "no one that anticipated that Tinubu will fail these bad"?

those words signifies "Probability" ..

are you still working at Jamb or you've being sacked

lexy2014:
how does that negate what he said that "Atiku would have done better than Ebola Tinubu"?

What as not happen remains a "Probability" nothing is sure,

For instance no one thought there could be any candidate that will do worst than Buhari, trust me if Peter Obi had won and we are having these same challenges... some of us would have argued BAT that built Lagos would have done far better

No one believed or anticipated Tinubu will fail these bad not even those crying "we warned dem"

Malroux:
Even though Obi was the undisputed choice of Nigerians but Atiku would have done better than Ebola Tinubu.

IF south africa had won Nigeria at the semi final, we all would have sworn with our lives super eagle wil win Ivory coast at the final

Argentina and Nigeria may share similar problems but there is a huge disparity btwn citizens, Nigeria biggest challenge is "who we are"

Swap nigerians with americans under one year and US will be the among the worst nation

[color=#006600][/color]

I don't understand why we give excuses for these politicians?
If one is not capable of making positive changes, is it not best not to contest?

As much as they feel they can always feed us excuses its in our best interest to always counter them and reject excuses

Before BAT assume ... He saw the challenges and problem Nigerians were facing, i believe he knew how difficult it will be to Fix these problems hence why BAT said nobody should pity him

But what i find really disappointing is the trial and error method, before shouting emilokan he had a long time outside to have drafted solid plans that depict he was prepared ... but we havent even seen that

OreMI22:
Exactly!

While Tinubu may not be without faults, and I may not personally admire his methods, it's grossly unjust for those who remained silent as Buhari wreaked havoc on the Nigerian economy for 8 years to suddenly become vocal critics just because Tinubu isn't one of their own.

That your Neighbour condone F9 from his children does not mean you MUST condone F9 parallel from your own child wey you know how you struggle to pay his fee

With the rate BAT is nosediving, F9 parallel is eminient, that is why we all the voted and want him to succeed must rise NOW .. igi gogoro ma guun mii loju ati oke're lan'ti woh

OreMI22:
Let's face the truth: the economic challenges facing Tinubu during his 8 months in office stem from the economic mismanagement perpetrated by Buhari and his Ministers. In 8 years, Buhari oversaw the printing of N30 trillion Naira, depleted our foreign reserves from 52 billion dollars, and allowed the looting of the NNPC, all while claiming to be the "Petroleum Minister." Ministers like Hadi Sirika and Abubakar Malami looted billions from the state treasury. Shockingly, none of the Hausa/Fulani leaders and clerics, who now criticize Tinubu, raised concerns about Buhari's economic mismanagement!

Today, these same northern leaders, who remained silent during Buhari's tenure, are quick to call for protests or military intervention against Tinubu, who has been in office for less than a year!

Any Yoruba person who falls for this deception and participates in protests to destabilize Tinubu's government fails to honor the legacy of Oduduwa. Northern leaders should show Tinubu the same patience they showed their northern brother, Buhari.

Oga !! Didnt BAT tell "Nigerians not to Pity him" which is an indication he knows the *mess* on ground, He is fully aware of what he is getting into

Now, blaming Buhari or reminding us of the Mismanagement of the past administration which is from APC is no longer valid

There is no Deception anywhere, Yorubas don't condone failure check our history, we are pace setter and we won't take less from whom we have vested so much, under 8month haba !

They say ; To whom much is given much is expected, IF BAT does well we will over praise him as well .. ebin paa wa no be joke

If the Election was between Osinbajo and Obi, honestly many Nigerians would have gone to sleep knowing fully well that either of them would have been the game changer for Nigeria

IF life naa 1 + 2 = 3 super eagles would have won the AFCON

Going after road side traders and hawker wont collapse the economy but will cause untold hardship to the people.

Naturally these informal businesses die a natural dead as society grows. For instance if we have free and accessible education and a wage that allows one parent to put food on the table, cater for rent and other basic needs.

Out of school children hustling on the street will disappear. So do conductors and danfor drivers. Then big business will step in take over public transfer and organise such that people with certain level of education and training can apply.

Those umuboy will disappear as they can comfortably go to school without their parents worrying how to feed them (because whatever minimum wage jobs both or one parent does will be enough to take care of their basic needs). At this point government will be able to fully implement the policies of prosecuting parents that refuse to send their wards to school.

At this point in time in our economy we can't do away completely with informal sectors, they are just necessary evil of a developing society like ours. We have to be able to make the best out of it while working towards phasing them out.

I don't understand why you keep reteriating Roadside traders and hawkers, the discussion is about BDC i.e a Black market with no economical value

You are going Offpoint way tew much, the thread is about BDC operators, Maybe you are on the wrong thread
