Foreign Affairs / Re: Israeli Military Kills Senior Hamas Officials In Airstrikes by Ecbatana: 8:53pm On Oct 10, 2023
In any fight if you must hit first, endeavour to hit very hard to
incapacitate your opponent.


Hamas didn't hit hard enough or probably there is still an
element of surprise somewhere

Most times, I'm lost in thought as to how to make the US loosen it's grip on Africa and subsequently become irrelevant in the scheme of African affairs.

Dropping a nuke will definitely signal the beginning of the end because even US will withdraw it's support. Russia would have nuked Ukraine a long time ago but they know the consequences so they stick to normal conventional weapon's.

Wars, just like earthquakes, typhoons, hurricanes and tornadoes are not man made but natural. It is mother earth's way of cleansing itself of human pollution and atrocities. War started with human existence and shall see the end to it. Praying for peace is a great waste of time; a delusion.


While you live, always be ready for war so that it doesn't take you unawares. A peaceful world is an abnormal one.

As long as Tinubu rules, he'll be a puppet of the U.S government. They'll shield his criminal past, give him more loans as long as he plays along. Floating the Naira is bad economic policy for now. He should have ensured we have working refineries first.

The absolute truth is that no patriotic citizen would wish for someone of Tinubu's calibre to be the country's president. He has wallowed in dirt for too long and no matter how hard he's washed; he can't come clean.

We buy petrol in Naira and import in dollars. For years, we’ve been borrowing forex to import petroleum products. So, the savings from removal of subsidy is in naira and not dollars. We can’t defend the Naira with Naira.

If Buhari could find a way round our forex woes, Tinubu should more than double that. He is a southerner and we are meant to believe Southerners are smarter than their northern counterparts. You're doing a good job though, I give you
that.

Exactly, the reason I feel he is being puppeteered to do the bidding of the Western powers that have been predicting woes for Africa so that we continue seeing them as geniuses.

Under Emefiele, we fixed the exchange and defended the rate with all our forex earnings. As at when Tinubu took over, we barely have less than $4billion in our foreign reserve. Even at that, we are owing between $5-7b to foreign banks for unfulfilled letters of credit. Today, our LCs are being rejected because CBN can no longer pay.

Looking at all the above scenarios, you think it’s better to continue fixing and defending the Naira?

Well, maybe a short term fix till Dangote and PH refineries come on stream this year. Definitely not for a long time. We are not earning enough forex to defend the Naira at a fixed exchange rate. Floating is the only way to go but we need to fix local refineries first of its impact on petroleum prices.



Removal of subsidy and floating the naira at the same time are economic policies that have caused untold hardship for Nigerians especially of the middle and lower classes. Why can't part of the money realised from the subsidy removal be used to defend the naira at least till the refineries are up & running.

why do you think most African leaders have a case to answer either within or without Africa. Those guys may even know a thing or two about Obi that we don't.
Politics / An Offer Tinubu Can't Refuse by Ecbatana: 10:23am On Sep 27, 2023
The US has never had a bigger opportunity to lord over the affairs of Nigeria than now. Tinubu has a lot of baggage over there and will have to play along if he must remain president. The US will likely make him an offer he can't refuse; "do our bidding". Africa's most populous nation is likely in for a long ride. The US will continue to dish him subtle threats to remind him if he fails to play along. The cancelled meeting with the US president is an example.

Dangote's refinery may not function optimally as long as Tinubu is president because it profits the foreign powers more when we import petroleum products than when they are refined here. As a result, the " naira" may continue on a downward spiral and wrecking havoc on the purchasing power of Nigerians. If we are to tell ourselves the truth, the foreign powers are puppeteers whose plan is to continue to impoverish Africa by shielding our corrupt politicians and giving us ridiculous loans.

Economic experts will always tell you to allow market forces determine the exchange rate; true but what market forces are we talking about in the case of Nigeria: we export next to nothing. From where do we generate forex? Buhari and Emefiele had a fixed official exchange rate for reasons which can only be described as patriotic. Tinubu and Cardoso should tow the same path until our refineries begin to work; i.e if the powers that be will allow them. Allowing the naira to float freely is what the West has always wanted. By this action, many Nigerians have become poorer.


Tinubu may be shielded for his first term at least and nothing tangible about him will be brought to bare by either the CSU or the FBI. He is an asset to them and must be protected as long as he plays along.

If you write another SSCE, red flags would definitely be raised. Don't you think it's a bigger issue if your secondary school certificate is carrying a date later than your degree certificate?


Good morning sir, pls shed more light on this. Because in my own case, I graduated with a b'Ed in French language in the year 2011; but before I could obtain my statement of result, I had to rewrite WAEC in 2016. This is because the school gave me french to study even though I didn't apply for it and neither did I have it as one of the subjects in my previous SSCE. Thanks.
