Fake news mongers have taken over the Nigerian cyber space. How can someone be comfortable telling lies calculated to cause deliberate unrest?

Why do we have ourselves so much to the extent of hating our own progress?

Abeg buhari dey try. I am very impressed with the way he is progressively transforming Nigeria one State at a time. Good Job

JANUARY 2019 A TWEET WAS POSTED BY RENO OMOKRI and he talked about what Dangote was worth and how his wealth dropped from 2015 to 2019 and he declared that if Buhari got re-elected in 2019 that dangotes worth may drop to $0 and so many celebrated Reno Omokri and his rather silly comments.

Fast forward to 31st december 2019 and Atiku declared that "2019 not a successful year for Nigerians".

Well here is the Dangote whom Reno Omokri said would fall if buhari got re-elected and here is dangotes response to Atiku as well

This is 2020 and a new opportunity has been provided to you be you a lover or hater of Buhari. LEARN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ANY AND EVERY GOVERNMENT BUSINESS POLICY.

The difference between the rich and the poor is that the rich take advantage while the poor simply complain and complain without lifting a finger.

Dangote became richer by $4.3b which is 1,558,750,000,000.00 (One trillion, five hundred and fifty eight billion, seven hundred and fifty million naira)

HE MADE THAT WHILE YOU SIT THERE AND COMPLAIN 24/7

THIS IS 2019. CEASE BEING A WAILER AND TAKE ADVANTAGE. MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT POSITIVELY AND BY THE END OF 2020 YOU WILL ALSO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS.

A word is enough for the wise.

EzeIgbo1 signing out to celebrate the first day with my lovely wife and child. God bless us all as we WORK and pray and not COMPLAIN without work.

Truly as I expected...a disatrous response from a blind follower.

When will people like you cease from their violent and reckless ways?

Truly the future leadership of this country must not be allowed to fall into the hands of unlearned and uncultured persons also known as social miscreants.

You used the two words "empty barrel". Those words are perfectly descriptive of your person. You also the two words "confirmed noisemaker". How perfectly those words fit you, especially with your inability to know how diplomacy is conducted among nations!

Certainly you"ll never know.

I stopped taking this post seriously and chalked it off as something a kid with itchy fingers which are not backed up with a functional cerebellum would type and post when i saw "Violent and reckless ways".

Perhaps this ekuke thinks a whole EzeIgbo is a northerner. Chai God punish devil.

Diplomacy gba oku dia. You think everything must be put down in the way you imagine it in your fantasy world right?

Why not go and ask Trump how diplomacy is done when he tweets with reckless abandon without any care to how anyone perceives his tweets. Is that also diplomatic?

the letter from Naija was not only well worded but also apt for the situation. It was a simple "I will respond at a later date" letter just in case you missed the memo.

See ekuke this is 2020 and i have left 2019 and all the dullards in her behind but it seems you want to force yourself out of the cage i already put you and jump into 2020 with me. Tufia kwa.

HAPPY NEW YEAR MY PEOPLE everyone else FVCK OFF

justmondris:
You did not understand why both letters were posted for comparison. Check the sentences and see how obvious it is that our letter was written by someone with primary school leaving cert. Well am I not surprised since we appoint people based on who is your father and not on merit. It is a shame for a staff to write such a poorly structured and unprofessional letter for a country with 180million people.

It is you who does not understand both letters. The letter from Nigeria is apt. Your embittered soul will not let your education seep through to see the well worded sentences kept short and sweet simply because we have nothing to say at this point and would respond adequately when we do..

It is apparent you stopped your education at school cert level which is why your assessment can only go thus far.

wirinet:
Even the ordinary citizens in francophone countries are beginning to see france as a trojan horse. It's their government officials that depends on France to remain in power that is keeping the countries in servitude to France.

Meanwhile this guy want to court France as an ally just to spite Nigeria.





See threat. Meaning; if people insists on Franch soldiers leaving their lands, France would allow Islamic militants over run their countries.

France is a chief sponsor of terrorism in Africa. Everybody knows this

wirinet:
I respects Ghanaians a lot in terms of intelligence. I hope most Ghanaians don't reason like you.

It seems you just envy and hate Nigeria and Nigerians for no reason whatsoever. Thank god Nigeria and Ghana still cooperate in lots of spheres. You are getting an orgasm because your government locked 1000 shops, what's 1000 shops to Nigeria. Small Ababa alone contains thousands of shops.

You want France as ally as against Nigeria? See how other "French allies" in Africa and other parts of the world are faring. Vietnam fought a bitter war against france and the US, to remove france from Vietnam.

See sensible Nigerians protesting France's destabilisation of West Africa. You people need to join us to push france out of West Africa.

You have time to respond to that guy. I meet many like him here. All noise and no sense. All they do is sit in a corner and just wait to her NIGERIA then they start hyperventilating as if we stole their wife or girlfriend. If you listen closely to what they are even saying it is absolute nonsense. The never pause to fully grasp any situation before the begin vomiting senselessly.

He thinks France wishes them well. Ghanaians have been known to always learn the hard way and this will not be different.

I saw 2 Ghanaians the other day at circle and they were talking to each other and one said "I like Nigerians a lot, I like them because they are very intelligent unlike our people" and this is the truth many of them hate to hear.

Before stick go enter our eyes we dey see am but Ghana man dey only see food and drink and not danger

crash12345:
hahahahaha, you want to take advantage of we Ghanaians and outsmart us.Very funny.i can see you don't realise that Ghana is Nigeria's wildest nightmares in this world since independence especially when you underestimate our size.

Have you forgotten how your forefathers made huge investments in the 50s and 60s in Ghana owning majority of businesses and properties. Do you know what we did to them,we made them amass all their businesses and properties and enacted one law to deport all of them.That law is still around buh we have metaphorically quote it as GIPC laws which forbids foreigners from engaging in any business unless you have a capital of 500,000 to 1 million dollars.The party and government who did that sacking in 1969 is called the UP party and they have now changed their name to the NPP party and are now the current governing party.,Akuffo Addis father was the president then in 1969 whist Busia was the prime minister. Did you hear the president justifying GUTA sacking Nigerians this month at the meet the press buh he keeps laughing with Buhari together. Fear that old lawyer

Currently over 600 Nigerian shops are under lock and key in Circle alone and over 400 in Accra,Opera Square whilst hundreds are locked in Kumasi Suame.Listen to your friend who told you to be careful of Ghanaians cos we watch everything closely in our country. We collapsed over 12 banks since last year and Nigerian banks such as Energy Bank,First Atlantic Bank and others closed down.Glo is in comma in Ghana now buh we have not touched it yet.They were about to be closed for non payment of taxes.

Now let me tell you about this ECO.We will make sure Nigeria gets confused on whether to join or not to whilst we lobby for the Headquarters of the Central Bank to manage the ECO just as we did to win the bid to host the Africa Free Trade Agreement Headquarters so now Ghana is the capital of free Trade in Africa .

We are the second largest economy in ECOWAS in terms of population and GDP with 68 billion dollars GDP.By the time Nigeria realise the benefits of the ECO and wants to join later just as the Africa Free Trade Agreement, by then Ghana had already become the Headquarters of the ECO currency. Why do you you think we indicated in the letter that a Central bank of ECOWAS needs to be built first.

Cote d'Ivoire is our direct cousin and we share the same Akan majority ethnic group and their president is now the ECOWAS president so we will consult him so that we house the Central Bank. France will be our direct ally so as the USA is.Then Ghana takes over as the Regional leader in West Africa.Don't worry Nigeria can survive on it's own buh ECOWAS and Africa should be ours cos we are known as the black star of hope and glory of Africa .Forget our 30 million population.

Wetin this charcoal dey talk abeg? Make the vein wey dey your neck no burst o charlie. Nothing you said interests me. Bye

knowledgeable:
My brother, your analysis is spot on, but the critical question we have to ask ourselves is this. If the Eco is pegged to Euro, what is Euro pegged to?

Secondly, China is the biggest trading partner to all African countries, and what is yuan(Chinese currency) pegged to?

Thirdly, the trade wars between the dollar & yuan as it will impact Africa/west Africa/ Nigeria. The politics of debt trap and the realities of it to African countries. Mind you China remains committed to the long term infrastructural development of African countries and France and other powerful economies don't like that a bit.

Lastly but not the list, the new disruptive technologies of the fourth industrial revolution, block chain technology, 5gs, internet of things, algorithm, robotics, klipto currencies etcs.

... because the stakes are extremely & critically to high for France/European countries for China in Africa, France decision on Eco must surely depends on their fully understanding of the above mentioned factors and so do we in Africa/West Africa/Nigeria.

By the, Abum nwa afor studying the new world as it unfold...

God bless you bro

Here are a list of countries in Africa who pegged their currency value to the euro even before the eco fully emerges

Benin
Burkina Faso
Guinea-Bissau
Ivory Coast
Mali
Niger
Senegal
Togo
Cameroon
Central African Republic
Chad
Republic of the Congo
Equatorial Guinea
Gabon

Notice they are all French speaking countries and former french colonies?
The euro is pegged to the economies of the strongest countries in Europe and these are Germany which is the fourth strongest economy in the world with an economy worth $3.4 trillion, followed by the United Kingdom with an economy worth $2.9 trillion. France is third on the list with $2.4 trillion.

Do you see the power play france is trying to play by leveraging off and leeching off these African countries?

Germany narrowly avoided recession in 2018 and if they had hit recession the value of the euro would sharply drop. If the eco is tied to the euro it too would suffer badly.

In essence herein is the slavery and recolonization part. These African countries cannot function independently and outside the limits they have been placed. They cannot make economic decisions on their own. So they are tied at the hip to France, Germany and UK.

Now if UK pulls out of EU which is expected to happen then the euro would be hard hit because $2.9 trillion support just got removed from EU and the eco would be hard hit.

I am not bothered about China and the Yuan. I would rather have Nigeria fully align with China. 2 most populous nations in the world (China most populous in the world and nigeria most populous in Africa) would make for a behemoth of an economy in trade terms.

The eco is not a good idea at this time and i am so glad Nigeria is not enthusiastic towards joining

The west is saturated now so all focus is on Africa and the quest to dominate her. Nigeria is a problem to those who wish to dominate Africa so they want to do everything to cut us down to size and this explains a lot about how Boko haram gets weapons and this move by france.

USA, FRANCE, UK all have military bases in various locations in Africa and for what? Arms Proliferation. They are the ones getting these arms to these terrorists but they turn around and act as if they are helping you fight them. Forked tongue nations.

If you are a federal worker and you have just received alert of your minimum wage salary arrears (because i just heard Buhari just cleared the arrears and alerts are dropping now) GO INTO FARMING. PUT SOME OF IT INTO THE LAND IN NAME OF FARMING. TAKE ADVANTAGE NOW. I have said my own.

obama30:
Am not doubting you but let see you and Ghana who gain in whatever you hope you introduce there, Even glo network find it hard in Ghana talkless of you. before Ghana accept anything from you they have map out way to frustrate you in future ask Nigerians that have be in Ghana 20 to 25 years with heavy investment.

Take your negativity elsewhere Mr man. People learn from the mistakes of others. What i invented cannot be frustrated. I have done my market surveys and tested the market and the response is huge.

No come use your bad belle infect me enter 2020 abeg

Let me advice everyone here reading this. You can take serious advantage of this new eco move by these foolish french countries and i will show you how.

1) Nigeria long forsaw this move to adopt eco afterall we were part of those who spoke up in support of it but after some checks we decided to slow down the process and focus more on growing Nigeria by Nigeria. I thank God for that strategic move by Buhari and i will tell you why

Since they say they will peg the eco to the euro you can expect the eco to be introduced at around 5 eco to a euro because france would never allow it to be 1 to 1. Even if this is not allowed, the french countries in West Africa who would adopt this currency do not have strong enough economies to sustain the value so expect either loans from france to these countries as buffers which is not sustainable and would be solely targeted at keeping those countries in a debt trap or a gradual devaluation of same eco due to the weak economies of the countries adopting her.

So if you are into manufacturing or Agriculture this is the time for you to make it big.

The eco would only be able to be spent in the countries which adopted it and not outside it so as a Nigerian businessman who exports, start targeting these countries who will adopt this eco and convert your prices to the new value, make your money off them and save back home in Nigeria. This is to your advantage and not their advantage.

Do not import from them because you will pay heavily due to the value change but because we have a very large economy we can export to them and at their new rates.

This border closure thing was a good thing because it has opened our eyes to what we can do as Nigerians and i think we need to take it seriously. I am in Ghana right now and just want to launch a product i invented and approved by their government here for mass production and then in about 6 months i will be back in Nigeria to tap into this eco to my own advantage.

Youths get up and form cooperatives. Put your resources together and embrace farming as a group effort if you cannot do it alone. You can then work on exports of your produce as a group effort and split the proceeds quarterly.

I am an entrepreneur and recognizing opportunity is my strong side and this is a huge opportunity for the discerning mind.

They want to block out Nigeria but we can take advantage of their attempt and get their money. easy money.

Asquare84:
France never like Nigerian, if you can remember during the Nigerian civil war France supported Biafra republic

May God increase the oil on your head my brother. France is solely in for their personal interest. They feel threatened by Nigeria as a major power broker in Africa and a stumbling block to their control of these African countries.

They know Nigeria would never accept the conditions attached to the eco and it was deliberate just so they would keep Nigeria out of the eco and thus have unhindered control over the other countries that adopt it.

In a nutshell france would be like the Overall president to the presidents of the countries who adopt the eco. These countries would not be able to make economic decisions freely without the input of France.

In this time and age they still want to carry out modern slavery. Naija must not adopt that eco

MumuCountry:
What exactly is wrong with nigerians? Instead of fixing your country’s numerous problems, you are here talking trash about Ghana’s currency? Your whole country is a sham! Utter crap!

if i answer you make i bend. This is my only comment to you. E be like say you were deprived of attention as a baby

Cantonese:
No wonder the country remains in darkness with blind followers like you bro. Buhari called the youths lazy and youths like you applauded him.

So to you that arrogant and irresponsible letter coming in form of a response from the office of a high level government official is reasonable and within proper diplomatic norms.

Truly many in this country need to have their heads examined.

Can you give us a draft of how a letter from a high level government official within proper diplomatic norms should look like?

In short help us rewrite the letter your own way make we read am.

You na confirmed noise maker and you know what they say about empty barrels

Nukilia:
This is not about wuruwuru economics, why would anyone decide on his own to either add zero to a currency of a sovereign nation? You need to reassess yourself on matters of economics. 5.7 CEDI's changes for a dollar and if you work in Accra, you can make money enough to keep you running. When you say weak purchasing power I tend to disagree with you. As long as you work in Ghana you can afford whatever you want with the money you receive.

Me and you not get talk again since you refuse to get sense. Na ghana you say one can afford whatever they want with the money they receive abi? No wonder their people dey mainly live for single room with porch. No kitchen and with shared toilet with at least 4 other tenants. They can afford anything they want indeed.

KingGBsky:
I think I understand the basics of the Ghana cedis better now. It’s just a sham.

Complete and utter sham used to deceive and confuse their people

Nukilia:
The same voodoo economics you quoted here, kindly explain it with the US dollars....
My friend stop all these stuffs you're typing here just to encourage yourself. The Nigerian economy is bad

Na to open your head put intelligence inside remain because one little sense no dey for Inside.

The Ghanaian currency Is a false one. A farcade. You claim it is 5.7 cedi to a dollar when in reality if the zeros were not removed it would have been 570 cedis to a dollar because they removed 2 zeros. This means the real value remains at 570 cedis to a dollar despite the paper money saying 5.7 cedis to a dollar.

This is why this paper value can never defeat the real value and it explains why their purchasing power is very week and as good as useless

KingGBsky:
Hmm... I heard same thing. It’s just that the Ghana Cardi seems confusing most times. I had the taught that the west African countries will adopt Naira as their major currency not creating a new one. They don’t seem to give Nigeria her due respect.

The Ghanaian cedi is only confusing to Ghanaians but to Nigerians we take advantage of their currency. We understand it better than they do and this is why we rise quickly here and faster than they do

Because their money Is so weak we can make it quickly and save it back home in Naija quickly too. That is the only advantage. For them they cannot save it outside Ghana except if they have a foreign account so most of them are impoverished due to this fact that their currency is weak and the purchasing power weak as well.

Enter their markets and you will see produce for the poor everywhere just so the poor can afford to buy something and this is done so the market people too would not starve. After all if dem no sell wetin dem go chop

Nukilia:
Do not compare a working nation like Ghana with Nigeria. When talking about purchasing power of our money, it is true you might buy lots of things with Naira here in Nigeria which is not the case in Ghana. The same applies to the UK and USA. It would be wrong for you to misinform folks in Nigeria about the Ghanaian CEDI's.

Is it Naira you spend in Ghana? Why are you deliberately being stupid to yourself?

Any money converted to the cedi becomes useless because the cedi is useless.

You spend more cedi to convert to less Naira and you spend less naira to convert to more cedi.

Which of the above shows the one that is stronger? You smoke?

Destroyerofyeeb:
Stop wasting your time, Nigerians are ignorant as fvck.

My brother if to say that guy dey near me talk that thing wey he talk I swear down I for slap am like 4 times. Nonsense

Spatta:
The Nigerian reply is one reason being a Nigerian under an illiterate is regurgitating, Actually, I detest the name Nigeria because it is according to myth a combination of Nigga and Area, a name imposed by the Colonial masters just like Yoruba, which was imposed on the Yoruba by the Hausa, meaning Bastard
You can tell that the government of Nigeria is clueless and unashamedly vision-less especially under this regime of a tyrant
Look at how Ghana responded intellectually
Compare it with how illiterates in the Despot's government responded to a serious economic advantage

Big grammar is not intelligence. Fewer words show intelligence a lot of times.

It Is your type people like Chris Okotie and Patrick Obiahagbon (or what is that is name) would have as praise singers because you like epistles loaded with emptiness.

The Ghanaian response was rubbish and shows Ghana is just a yes sir country who will even say yes to the devil because they are in dire straights economically right now.

The Naija response was gbaski. Short and sweet Is what CEOs call it in corporate world.

When you know your strength you say fewer words.

KingGBsky:
With all your epistle, is the Nigerian currency any better? Compare it with Ghana. Nonsense.

Oga na Ghana I dey type from and Naija currency strong pass their own hands down.

Removing zeros from s currency does not make it strong. It rather weakens its purchasing power. This Is why 50 cedis cannot even buy anything here compared to what 4k can buy which is the equivalent of 50 CEDIs in naira.

Don't mention cedi near naira again abeg you

Nukilia:
Can you just stop misinforming people as if you know anything about economics

Can you just shut up and stop trolling me? Am I the one who made you flunk basic economics in school?

Nwokem shift

All of you who are shouting eco eco eco please travel to Europe and see how hard it is to make 100 euros.

Since they adopted euro average cost of living went up. France on its own is a very expensive country to live in all due to the pull of the euro

Same would happen in the countries who accept eco. Everything will go up and you will pay through your nose for basic amenities.

Ghana after they redenominated, experienced same thing. Standard of living became expensive for them. Many think twice before they spend 1 cedi. They tied their cedi to the dollar yet it did not help them. Now the eco is being tied to the euro and you expect a miracle?

The CFA was tied to the franc yet it did not work for francophone west Africa . Now they want to tie eco to the euro as another experiment with African countries

Nigeria must not adopt the eco. Period!

Biodun556:
As a matter of facts. African free trade agreement and ECO are programs designed by EU or why was UE giving out incentives to African countries that agreed to participate in the free trade agreement.

Exactly. Nigerian youths shout with zero content in their dumb skulls.

They want Nigeria to jump on it because White France said so?

Before the Euro came the British pound was the strongest currency in that region so based on this they rejected the euro. How did that affect UK? It never affected her. They still remain stronger that the euro per strength of currency

Nigeria has the economy of west Africa in her pocket and this is our strength. None of the west African countries can rise above Nigeria even with the adoption of the eco.

Their economy would remain the same, their exports same, their GDP same. The chief beneficiary to this eco move would be France because they are the puppet masters and would continue leeching off west Africa through this new method of colonialism

Jonasbadoo:
you're mistaken bro
Eco is based on Euro and France is very much involved in it ...
So it's not possible
Nigerian doesn't even have a better economy than France so what are you saying?

Eco is not based on euro. It is tied to the euro does not mean it is based on the euro. Note the difference

The exchange rate could be 5 eco to one euro. This does not make it valuable despite this because it would simply make inflation rates shoot through the roof at this time.

Nigeria did well to hold back for now. Ghana is just clutching at any straw that they think would help their economy but Nigeria is already the economic hub for west Africa as a whole so no need to panic.

Even if the other countries in west Africa shift to eco and Nigeria does not, we still remain the economic giant to all of them and the go to country for their goods as the largest economy in Africa

We are the ones who have them boxed into a corner, eco or no eco

Nigeria understands the import of the eco much better than Ghana does because we are essentially west Africa and in charge of her economy.

Besides France has hijacked the handling of the eco and this is bad for Nigeria. So we cannot rush into anything whose technicalities we are not yet privy to.

The former west African French colonies would do anything to please their former masters and Nigeria cannot and will not tow their path

Ghana's response was like a child who just get free candy and is rejoicing foolishly while Nigeria's response is mature.

Bosses study before they speak. Only Children rejoice without studying in the face of serious issues.

Chai otito diri Jesu.

Everything is worth thanking God for. For my new wife and baby boy who turned 1 yesterday and the fact that I lived each day in 2019 being able to hold and kiss both of them I am grateful Nnukwu daddy.

For God giving me the wisdom to be inspired enough to invent a revolutionary tool to help rural families which has just been patented in Ghana where I reside and approval given for mass production I am eternally grateful.

2019 was my year of labour but you see this 2020 tomorrow eh? Baba God has sealed it as my year of financial favour and e don begin happen already.

My Father My Father I prostrate, I roll on the ground, I raise my hand and voice to say na you biko. After you na you. As you see this small nonsense wey I be before and you decided to single me out and burst my head with your blessings, na me and you this 2020. No retreat no surrender. I die ontop your matter every day with my praises.
