The Central Bank of Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja
devalued the Naira by N13.
CBN says the move is part of efforts to
strengthen the nation’s economy.
CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele, disclosed the
devaluation to newsmen after a meeting of the
Monetary Policy Committee.
Emefiele explained that under the new
arrangement, the Naira would now exchange for
N168 instead of the old official rate of N155 to
one US dollar.
He said the meeting also decided to increase the
Monetary Policy Rate by 100 basis point from 12
per cent to 13 per cent.
The MPR is the rate at which banks borrow from
the CBN to cover their immediate cash shortfalls.
The higher the cost of such borrowing, the higher
the rate at which banks advance credit to
customers.
Emefiele noted that there was an increase in
Cash Reserve Ratio on private sector deposits by
500 basis point from 15 per cent to 20 per cent.
The CRR is a monetary tool used to either call up
excess liquidity or release funds needed for the
growth of the economy as situation demands.
He added that the public sector CRR would be
retained at the current level of 75 per cent and
the symmetric corridor of plus or minus 200 basis
points around the MPR will be maintained.
“The public sector should be retained at 75 per
cent and foreign exchange trading position should
also be retained at one per cent,’’ Emefiele said.
The CBN governor explained that the decision to
lower the value of the Naira against the dollar
was to strengthen the currency.

Schematics:
The position of governor is not the same as Speaker. The office of Speaker is naturally for the majority in the House, and in this case the PDP is the majority and not the other way round!

Put yourself together and reason properly..

Ignoramus.
Go and check the constitution Mr. There is no law that say the speaker of the house must come from the party with majority.
Next time if you don't know something, shut up.
"a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the
members of that House from among themselves." (Nigerian 1999 constitution, chapter 5)

I thought the last time doctors went on strike, JOHESU had a press release saying the doctors are heartless and insensitive to the suffering of the masses?
The question now is why is JOHESU on strike? Shey they say you guys can be consultants.
I just dey vex.

The magic school bus!

I love danger mouse... especially the episode about the bone idol or something

“Fellow Nigerians, sequel to the resignation of the
former Head of the Interim National Government
and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,
Chief Ernest Shonekan and my subsequent
appointment as Head of State and Commander-
in-Chief, I have had extensive consultations within
the armed forces hierarchy and other well
meaning Nigerians in a bid to find solutions to the
various political, economic and social problems
which have engulfed our beloved country, and
which have made life most difficult to the
ordinary citizen of this nation.
Chief Ernest Shonekan took over as Head of State
and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed
Forces at a most trying time in the history of the
country. Politically, economically, and socially,
there were lots of uncertainties. Things appeared
bleak and the atmosphere was heavy with
uncertainties. However, driven by a belief in
himself, his countrymen, and love for his country,
he accepted to face the challenges of our time. I
will, therefore, like to take this opportunity to pay
tribute to him for his selfless service to the
nation. He showed great courage at taking on the
daunting task of heading the Interim National
Government and even greater courage to know
when to leave.
Many have expressed fears about the apparent
return of the military. Many have talked about the
concern of the international community. However,
under the present circumstances the survival of
our beloved country is far above any other
consideration. Nigeria is the only country we
have. We must, therefore, solve our problems
ourselves. We must lay a very solid foundation for
the growth of democracy. We should avoid any ad
hoc or temporary solutions. The problems must
be addressed firmly, objectively, decisively and
with all sincerity of purpose. Consequently, the
following decisions come into immediate effect:
The Interim National Government is hereby
dissolved.
The National and State Assemblies are also
dissolved.
The State Executive Councils are dissolved. The
Brigade Commanders are to take over from the
Governors in their States until Administrators are
appointed. Where there are no Brigade
Commanders, the Commissioners of Police in the
State are to take over.
All Local Governments stand dissolved. The
Directors of Personnel are to take over the
administration of the Local Governments until
Administrators are appointed.
All former Secretaries to Federal Ministries are to
hand over to their Directors-General until
Ministers are appointed.
The two political parties are hereby dissolved.
All processions, political meetings and
associations of any type in any part of the country
are hereby banned.
Any consultative committee by whatever name
called is hereby proscribed.
Decree 61 of 1993 is hereby abrogated.
A Provisional Ruling Council (PRC), is hereby
established. It will comprise:
The Head of State, Commander-in-Chief of the
Armed Forces of the federal Republic of Nigeria as
Chairman.
The Chief of General Staff as Vice-Chairman
The Honourable Minister of Defence
The Chief of Defence Staff
The Service Chiefs
The Inspector General of Police
The Attorney General and Minister of Justice
The Internal Affairs Minister
The Foreign Affairs Minister
Also, a Federal Executive Council will be put in
place.
Our security system will be enhanced to ensure
that lives of citizens, property of individuals are
protected and preserved. Drug trafficking and
other economic crimes such as 419 must be
tackled and eliminated. On the current strike
throughout the nation following the increase in
the price of fuel, I appeal to all the trade unions
to return to work immediately. We cannot afford
further dislocation and destruction of our
economy. On the closed media houses,
government is hereby lifting the order of
proscription with immediate effect. We, however,
appeal to the media houses that in this spirit of
national reconciliation, we should show more
restraint and build a united and peaceful Nigeria.
Fellow Nigerians, the events of the past months,
starting from the annulment of the June 12
presidential election, culminating in the
appointment of the former Head of State, Chief
Ernest Shonekan, who unfortunately resigned
yesterday, are well known to you. The economic
downturn has undoubtedly been aggravated by
the ongoing political crisis.
We require well thought-out and permanent
solutions to these problems if we are to emerge
stronger for them. Consequently, a constitutional
conference with full constituent powers will be
established soon to determine the future
constitutional structure of Nigeria. The
constitutional conference will also recommend the
method of forming parties, which will lead to the
ultimate recognition of political parties formed by
the people. While the conference is on, the re-
organisation and reform of the following major
institutions will be carried out:
The Military
The Police
The Customs
The Judiciary
NITEL
NNPC
NEPA
The Banking Industry
Higher Educational Institutions
This regime will be firm, humane, and decisive.
We will not condone nor tolerate any act of
indiscipline. Any attempt to test our will be
decisively dealt with. For the International
Community, we ask that you suspend judgment
while we grapple with the onerous task of nation
building, reconciliation and repairs. This
government is a child of necessity with a strong
determination to restore peace and stability to
our country and on these foundations, enthrone a
lasting and true democracy. Give us the chance
to solve our problems in our own ways.
Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Rad1cal:
To hell with amnesty international and her proponents. All we want is for the activities of the haramites to be brutally cut short , even though unavoidable cases of collateral damage will be recorded.

I agree with your perception about Amnesty international and the need to check boko. Buh those 'collateral damages' you are talking bout are people too. They are fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. Show some respect for human life.

And how does this affect the price of GARRI in the market?

Goodluck Jonathan remains my Mentor!

Your mentor That clueless man of a president?
You are probably suffering from Down's syndrome then. Because with Down's, a 4year old child can mentor you.

Alakio under attack by fulani herdsmen? I thought that town was a fortress? Anyway, the fulanis have made a bold move and have won a rook and a bishop. Now every fulani man in Nasarawa should watch out. Cause ombatse militias are coming for you.

As a medical personelle, I think is better to tell from my experience:
Some few years back, I met a man in the clinic who happens to be HIV positive and has been on HIV medications for a while. Normally, after a certain period of taking the medications, the viral load (number of virus particles in body fluid) reduce significantly to such an extent that it is undetectable by the PCR machine.
The man went to a spiritual healer at about that period who was said to have prayed for him and have told him to stop taking his medications.
His PCR done at that time did not detect viral particles. So I counseled the patient against heeding the advice of a spiritualist as we have been winning with the medications.
Apparently the man didn't heed my advice cause I saw him months later with AIDs defining symptoms.

Beloved, do not imitate evil but imitate good.
Whoever does good is from God; whoever does
evil has not seen God.

You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup
of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the
Lord and the table of demons.
