You said it all ... and only those with brains can utter such
Meaningless savings at expense of people dying of hunger and collapsed economy .
Such news is only meant for the dumb and the nitwit

You are the dumb nitwit here. You are blinded by hatred. How can you not see the multiplier effect of an increase in the foreign reserve? An increase in the foriegn reserve would lead to a strong naira. A strong naira would increase the purchasing power of individuals and companies alike. If the consumer can buy more, the producer will produce more leading to job creation/ boost in the economy. Now to you dumb nitwit, answer this simple question how would it lead to a fall in the price of commodities?

Springup:
Stop comparing Jonathan regime with Buhari’s regime lad.
Look at how things are expensive today, people are staving, malnutrition everywhere,naira has lost its value, the economy is in a mess. Firms can't access foreign exchange, Job losses and so on.
When the rise in reserve does not reflect in the life of the ordinary man.... It means nothing.
When Jonathan was there at least we could the ordinary man could feel the impact of governance .
What we are suffering today happened in 1984 when same man was in power

you have not said anything intelligent. You are just ranting

Do not be too quick to judge the price. Most of these bags have fakes. Also, it is the branding that makes the bag expensive. You can have a similar bag (china copy) that goes for less than 20% of the original.

Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation, has hailed the appointment of his former wife Saratu Atta into President-elect Nana Akufo-Addo’s cabinet.

According to Fani-Kayode, his ex-wife deserves her appointment because she has been working with Akufo-Addo for so long.

Fani-Kayode told Premium Times: “I am very happy for her.

“She certainly deserves it because she’s been working with Akufo-Addo for so long and I am sure she will do a great job.”

Mr. Fani-Kayode also spoke highly of Akufo-Addo while commending his ex-wife for her perseverance.

He said: “Akufo-Addo is my good friend and a great man.

“I think that’s why they were able to remain focused after narrowly missing the Ghanaian presidency in 2008 and 2012.”

Ms. Atta got married to Fani-Kayode in 1987.

They were divorced in 1989 and have a child, Folake together.

She is the daughter of the first civilian governor of Kwara state, Adamu Atta, who passed on in May 2014 at the age of 87. On his part, Ghanaian president-elect Nana Akufo-Addo, a member of the New Patriotic Party, emerged winner of the December 7, 2016 general elections, defeating incumbent John Mahama of the National Democratic Congress.


According to Premium Times, Akufo-Addo was once married to Fani-Kayode’s older sister, Remi.

The Ghanaian president-elect and Remi were married for 10 years and spent most of their time together in Paris before returning to Accra where they later divorced after two children together.

sharp dog trying to pull a fast one and run back to his vomit. The Igbo lady's sorry asz would soon be dumped like a bag beans cause FFK is an ungrateful man and one that sings and dance for whomever is giving him food.

thepeople2020:
GOOD MOVE, IPOB FOLLOW THE PEACE ROUTE OTHERS SHOULD USE OTHER MEANS CUS THAT'S THE ONLY LANGUAGE NIGERIA UNDERSTANDS

to you it is a "GOOD MOVE". When your people start dying like rats don't shout genocide.

Give FFK food, he will sing and dance for you. Don't be surprise that this clown will abandon that Igbo girl and run back to his vomit . This baddo baddest has been known to be without character.

How is that supposed to be my business? I should have the liberty to buy what I choose. I have bought naija made sneakers 5 times in just over a year and they are not of good quality.

keep buying those sneakers. You are being patriotic.

Kennyquestt:
Of what use is the slash of import duty when exchange rate is still very high

the literacy level on nairaland is becoming too low for my liking. Illiterates everywhere. What will the zero import duty on machinery do to an economy? Boost the industries which will in turn create emploment and economy of the area. What would an increase in import duty do to an economy? Increase revenue, encourage local production and inturn employment. Okay!

chronique:
Ban placed on importation of all types of footwear? What type of nonsense is this? Can't they just increase the tariff? Why must the government force us to wear locally made shoes at all cost? So, I can't decide how to spend my hard earned money again? Lord have mercy.

Aba boys just made Army boots for the Army.

Integrityfarms:
Reduction in import duty and yet claiming buy naija to grow naija, who is fooling who?

Fake and incompetent finance minister

Blind hatred would not let you see the benefit of this policy. Those products we have the potential to product were banned or import duty increased. Those industries that were upcomming were either increased or reduced as the case may be. Those that we could do nothing about were reduced to zero. Criticize constructively pls.

riczy:
Y is dis govt as confused as d rooster it self,3days ago we read d opposite, wat is their problem y ar they inconsistent? I nid an answer pls

you are the confused and inconsistent one here. You read a concoted half baked story being spread by haters and vultures on the net. Without getting the big picture, you rush to say Buhari is a dullard. Now you know the truth, you say the govt is confused.

careytommy7:
They will pretend not to have seen it.

Zombies are brain-dead and incapable of thinking.

simple comprehension you cannot decipher because your heart is full of hate. How would you understand complex issues. The import duty on MACHINERY of industries such as cement, iron and steel, etc Were reduced Not the duty on finished products.

AntiNigerian:
am sorry for you, am from Rivers state and you can't expect me as an igbo man to remain behind In Nigeria... Igbos can't exist in two places

satan pack your load and go. Jesus come into my life.

AntiNigerian:
igbo speaking sides morron!

Igbo seaking sides? Beautiful. So na ya papa get all Igbo speaking land for this earth. See your small pikin sense. Anuofia.

pazienza:
You seem to care about the well being of Ndiigbo, more than those of your longsuffering inconsequential people.

Igboland is not landlocked: https://www.nairaland.com/1568347/hmm-abia-state-set-build/1

Even if it were, it wouldn't matter, as Austria, Switzerland,Botswana, etc are all landlocked nations with better living standard than your failed nation, while Somalia with a very long sea coast line is a failed nation like your Nigeria.

I would advise you worry more about your inconsequential people, and less of Ndiigbo who are miles ahead of you in all indices of human development.

the feeling is mutual

Kemperor:
Who told u d igbos want to claim a region
I told u how it was b4 state creation...
U hear d some south south people saying they r not joining biafra... biafra dont even care because they want their own country..
Can you google the smallest country in the world?.....den u will know Biafra is big compare to what u have in mind...
The Benin got that land through conquest in war and that why u have too many tribes there ... today it is called EDO... well u dont seem to be understanding what you are saying....
Look at that map and see how state creation divided the Eastern Region...take a close look at it and understand... look at the distance of EDO to Cross River.... how dey encompass the Eastern State... den ask ur self d position of the Four Cardinal Direction ...
What kind of compass did Gowon use?
State creation was a political game...

you show me the map of eastern region and you say you are not laying claims to a region. What you IPOB guys don't seem to understand is the saying "unity in diversiity" in Nigeria, it is our diversity that unify us. We have about 350 ethnic groups. It is these groups that forms Nigeria not your language. Even in igbo speaking areas, say Abia state for example, an ngwa man would not want an Umuahia man to lord over him. Same with Aba man and Umuahia man. It is this diversity that prevents Nigeria from breaking up not your so called shout of free Nnamdi Kanu. The average Igbo man does not give a fu:ck. All he cares about is wake up in the morning, pray to his God for a good day, and goes about his business. It is the elites that are championing this secession thing.

Kemperor:


The thread is still open u shld take ur time and read my other post... to brief u, Gowon's State Creation brought about all the states in Nigeria..b4 den it was called region...
Nigeria is name giving to this country by lord Lugards wife...google ur history...
Dont talk abt the Eastern States and feel u hv said something great...y didnt u mention d states in the north and west??
There was a political system in every region...hope u know what that means...
There was a political structure..hope u know what that means...
They all had armies to fight against external forces... hope u know what that means...
They respected territory.
Biafra is not Ojukwu's ideology but what the East wants... something that was b4 d era of Britain... what is too hard 4 u 2 understand...
Will Nigeria be the first or last to disinterest or separate? Haven't there been peaceful separation in some countries of the world?
Even in Africa?
What don't u understand?
I tire 4 people like u...
[/color] b4 u r quick to judge u dont know ma tribe...
...[color=#000099]
U should know that Nigeria was a colonial exploitation project...
So tell me, [color=#990000][/color]
IF NIGERIA HAS EVER BEEN ONE SINCE ANTIQUITY, THEN WHAT WAS THE COUNTRY CALLED BEFORE BRITAIN CHANGED ITS NAME TO THIS PRESENT ONE??

one fu:cking thing you guys don't realize is that just because you speak the same language does not mean you can claim all the language speaking areas example is Hausa speaking areas. Hausa man cannot lay claim to Niger state.. lands are held in trust for us by our leaders. it is this land that are joined together to form states, countries, etc. the larger the large the land held, the large you can lay claim to. an example is Benin kingdom. nobody can take Benin from the Binis. the igbos have just small clans. now they want to claim a region

AntiNigerian:
prepare to be carved out of our map! Go back to your slave master Hausa and Fulani! we want igbo only Biafra sef

shwo!!! you also carved out some part of Delta state? come take your time oh. if na joke, stop am! stop am!!

caleboxylic:
Mentally disturbed people indeed. Are u richer, more intelligent or educated than those heading IPOB? For Your information, start thinking about your Nigeria without the biafrans.
Banki-moon said in spain when asked about catalyuan agitation for their own country and i qoute" for You to ask for seperation, their must have been an amalgamation, different culture,and language."
From This banki-moon statement, You Can see That IPOB most likely will have their way.

woosai, you lie. there was no south east before Nigeria but Nigeria before south east. what we had in the south east were small clans with small chiefs called Ezes. even the Obi of Agbor is well know than any of your so called Ezes. check history and be convinced. you cannot give what you don't have. you never had a south east. south east came about because of Nigeria, so rethink that ban ki moon line again. google Catalunya and compare it with Biafra.

AntiNigerian:
prepare to be carved out of our map! Go back to your slave master Hausa and Fulani! we want igbo only Biafra sef

your Biafra that is not even as big as Niger state will be landlocked by Nigeria and not even arable enough to feed all of you. you will need visa to go to Port Harcourt. all your goods will be taxed as you will need our ports to import goods. all your brothers in Nigeria will need visas to work and operate. your visas will be renewable every six months so expect long queues at immigration centers where you will spend at least two to three days to process. we will not allow you to have an army of your own. even your police will be required to carry only okpo.we will dictate your pace of development. in short you cannot sh:t without letting us know.

AntiNigerian:
prepare to be carved out of our map! Go back to your slave master Hausa and Fulani! we want igbo only Biafra sef

so you carved out some part of akwa ibom as south east, wonderful

Kemperor:
Haven't u heard of the lord Lugard's Amalgamation?
B4 u talk, u reason...and research b4 u mak vain facts...Dullardpo

before lord lugard's amalgamation, was there any state like anambra, imo, ebonyi, abia or enugu state? No. Was there any region like biafra? No. All this states were created by Nigeria. Another thing is that there is no major kingdom or major king in that area to say this was our territory like the benin kingdom for example. Biafra was a name created by Ojukwu for his selfish reasons. Therefore, you cannot give what you don't have. Another issue is the use of the word WE. Who is WE? Speak for yourself. It is only when there's been a referendum that the majority can use the word WE.

azimibraun:
Nigerian Farmers are on top of things at the moment. With the support from the most active minister and the most seen in the farms CBN governor working in a " holy collabo" and a ready market, we all the way up!!!! It's not a fluke, it's agric policy at work. Need I digress, to say we had an xmas with all filling stations having fuel so transporting of the farm produce to the market where you bought wasn't a problem.

Soon them bad loosers will come out to say it was GEJ's policy.
