Gowon of all people .

The man who sold his people for wad of cash.

Just kill them , these people don't deserve to life and walk on earth.

Nigeria oooo

Let the wailing by obedient begin

Ok

South Africa itself is on way to becoming a failed nation.

Asian countries like India,Indonesia, Vietnam etc are marching forward.

While South Africa with so much head start is on a dick measuring contests.

If things continue like this in next 2 years, Nigeria will either disintegrate or be a failed nation like Congo or Somalia .

Lets not pretend or deceive ourself or blame other people by tagging them as enemy of nation .

Restructuring Nigeria is only path forward or else it leads to Disintegration or a failed state .

Businessman aka developers busy with developing all the countries in world except their land in south east .

Why do petrol laden lorries crash like literally every month and kill people .

we dont hear these reports from other African countries talk less of western and Asian countries.

ok

Why do we not hear these type of accidents in other African countries.

Why only in Nigeria these happen monthly

ThBoss:


600Billion?

S/N Countries Forex Reserves Including Gold
S/N (data in millions US$)

Calculate in billions .

1 billion is 1000 million so

It's 643 billion dollars
Similarly for Nigeria it's 34.9 billion

chccho:

Are u sure u read and comprehended the information correctly??

yes, its seems u r reading incorrectly or just google Indian reserves .

Wow India at 645 billion dollars in reserve is a surprise .

India is really marching forward .

Some groups of people will be disappointed that they could not blame Tinubu for this incident

yarimo:
Alex otti is my governor do you have problem with that

Good one

Who has given honorific title of Sir to the spokesman, is it Queen or king of U.K.

Nigerian politicians and their penchant for stupid titles which they award to themselves just to satisfy their moronic ego

jazzman7711:


SHUT UP THERE.

Indians queuing up for VISA to JAPA from India

If u want to wallow yourself with ignorance , nobody will stop you .

Post urself to Ignorance .

jazzman7711:


Ahhhh...You want to see modern India, but you hate to see modern Nigeria, only dwelling on the negative.

WHEN WE SAY YOU PEOLE ARE CURSED, YOU WLL BE ARGUING.

Who are we , I support Tinubu and absolutely have hated Buhari for his misgovernance ,

Transformation of Nigeria is a absolutely necessary , it sucks when a country like India is achieving much , while our own is a big laggard .

jazzman7711:


But I just showed you the REAL INDIA PICTURES ^^^^^ outside those statistics thrown up by their politicians implying they are now heaven!

Thats a defeatist argument , Show the pictures of IT hubs and modern Infrastructure .Any western idiots will show the Makoko slum and says this is Nigeria and Lagos as a whole .

India is never a heaven ,but they are getting something right .

India is the fastest growing major economy in world at 8.4 in last quarter , Check out all stats from world bank to IMF.

What Modi achieved is truly remarkable in short span of 10 years , India has lot more to go as it will be third largest economy of the world in 2 years .

Lets hope Nigeria will be truly great ,by following on footsteps of two Asian giants ,Instead of blindly following western countries .

Iam based in India for past 15 years and i can witness the transformation going on .

Useless advice from useless person

Both projects are not comparable, since the Indian one has tunnels as well many interchanges
I have seen Mumbai project video and it is truly a wonderful project.

We need more infrastructure in Nigeria, people just need to get out of negative mindset and support development instead of relying only on subsidised things .
Development of infrastructure is the only path for Nigeria to attain prosperity

We need to have strong relationship with India and china ,they are the one driving the world economy.

Dive into the world of foreign exchange reserves, explaining what they are, why countries hold them, and highlighting the top reserve holders globally.

Foreign exchange reserves, also known as forex reserves, are essentially a nation’s savings account held in foreign currencies. Countries accumulate these reserves for several reasons, including:

Maintaining a stable exchange rate: By selling foreign reserves, a central bank can buy its own currency in the foreign exchange market, thus influencing the exchange rate.
Managing international payments: Countries use forex reserves to settle international transactions, such as imports of goods and services.
Providing a buffer during economic downturns: Forex reserves can be used to support the economy during times of financial crisis.

Top 10 Foreign Exchange Reserve Holders (as of Dec’23)

The list is dominated by Asian economies, with China holding the top spot by a significant margin. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10

Rank Country Foreign Exchange Reserves (USD Billion)
1 China 3,238.00
2 Japan 1,160.00
3 Switzerland 780.00
4 India 623.00
5 Taiwan 571.00
6 Saudi Arabia 493.00
7 Hong Kong 426.00
8 South Korea 420.00
9 Russia 414.00
10 Brazil 323.00
Why China Reigns Supreme
China’s massive forex reserves can be attributed to several factors, including:

Trade surplus: China has consistently run a trade surplus, meaning it exports more goods and services than it imports. This generates a large inflow of foreign currency, which the country adds to its reserves.
Foreign direct investment (FDI): China has attracted a significant amount of FDI over the years, further bolstering its forex reserves.
Currency intervention: The Chinese government has intervened in the foreign exchange market to maintain a stable exchange rate for the yuan. This often involves buying US dollars, adding to the country’s reserves.

The United States, the world’s largest economy, surprisingly holds a relatively low amount of forex reserves ($36.4 billion as of January 2024). This is because the US dollar is the world’s dominant reserve currency, meaning other countries hold a significant amount of US dollar-denominated assets.

The composition of forex reserves can also be important. While a large portion of reserves are typically held in US dollars, other major currencies like the euro and the Japanese yen are also common.

Ok

Have they blamed Tinubu for this?

After Americans never seen more clueless and dumb beings than the middle belt people.
Just like American knows the senseless violence and killings are caused by guns and refuse to do anything about it ditto the middle belt people ,they know who there enemies are,but they refuse to confront them .

So like a good politician after every killings.

My thoughts and prayers are with deceased.

Most probably an obedient wanting to destroy Nigeria as his leader lost the poll

I cannot understand how poor and middle class survive in Nigeria . Majority of people will prefer to live in a ant of a country then in a giant of a country with no facilities.

Nigeria, a country known for boastful ,naive business men, politicians and common people .

People where shouting from rooftops that they have worlds largest refinery on a single train or whatever .
These people forgot about availability of crude oil and remembered after the completion of the construction.

How dumb people can be

News like these ridicule the image of a country

ozoemeka:
One thing Nairaland has taught me; I have learned that so many Nigerians living in Nigeria want anything BUT Nigeria. Some make it a lifelong MISSION to come to America where they "believe" it is the "LAND OF THE FREE" and "ANYONE" can make it. These Nigerians save and save and hustle to DO ANYTHING to come to "America" / Yankee. They give up EVERYTHING they ever had or knew to come and "enjoy" greener pastures (or so their TVs informed them). However 5 years into staying in America they realize that Life was more manageable than they could ever imagine in America. Here are some pointers on the REAL AMERICA, to those living in America feel free to add in.


1. America is NOT FUN when you do not know anybody. If you are coming here "on your own" and THINK you can easily "settle down", think again. You need an address at the airport and almost everything you need to do here requires an address. Ekene your "guy" from primary 6 can only allow you stay in his house for so long before he will require you to pay rent. Tosin your paddy from Lagos is not going to be your guide forever which leads to the next bit

2.Nothing is free in America. Absolutely nothing. DO NOT expect Okwudili to give you a ride to work, he will ask you for gas money. You are either going to join Okwudili in "hustling" or get your own life, which you will learn is HARD especially for immigrants.

3. Life is toughER for Immigrants in America. From not having a SSN to get jobs, to people simply discriminating for your "accent". You will LEARN that America is not the least bit tolerant for immigrants. Especially if you come to places that are predominantly white. Unfortunately what I end up seeing Nigerians adopt is the "akata" way. A LOT of them end up trying to speak ebonics and they just sound stupid and ridiculous. "nigggaz is tryna hoop yo". No. Your azz never hooped before when did you become a "niggga tryna hoop"?


4. Dressing. Appearance is EVERYTHING [img]http://loladesowoolu.files./2011/02/dis-n-dart-eldee.jpg[/img]

These are NOT, repeat, NOT "american" dressing. The earlier you learn the better. The "americans" who dress that way are SEVERELY DISCRIMINATED AND MARGINALIZED in society. Sure you may say, well the "wealthy" american hiphop stars dress that way....Guess what. Those who do are DISCRIMINATED against. Don't believe me - check...a lot end up in jail etc. The "REAL wealthy ones" a la Jay z and Sean Combs DO NOT, dress that way. A word is enough for the wise.

5. You learn quickly that America is NOT the land of the free and get crammed up with "the rest" so 5 years in you start to fight hard to PROVE you are not like "THEM". You get mad when people say you are "black"

6. The America on TV is NOT the same as the REAL America. The skyscrapers and beautiful scenes from Tv shows and movies are just in a few places. Downtown, NYC, Miami, LA, DC. Just like you have SOME VERY beautiful places in Abuja, and Lagos. The real america, sometimes looks like this
