Haven't had any difficulties sending money under the new CBN policy. Just like before the new policy, i send money using moneygram or western union app on my phone. My beneficiaries are able to receive dollar amount same day. They say new policy puts a lot more money in their pockets since they are able to convert dollar received to naira according to prevailing market rate.

I'm concerned about FFK's terrible poor judgment. May be he is not that smart. Donald J. Trump is a damaged human being, racist (hates Africa and blacks, including FFK), deft conman, nonbeliever, pathological liar, psychopath ...

Any time you feel a prolonged strong moral superiority over others, back up if you can, otherwise, consult a psychiatrist. Sanctimoniousness is destructive but treatable.

Trump’s personality is truly full of aberrations. He is a huge shock to America and democracies all over the world. Frankly, I believe he is one of the greatest conmen alive. He manipulates his poor victims, and lies, and lies, and lies to them nonstop without blinking.

What a deep stinking mess the youths have found themselves in Nigeria. Swap SARS for a f****** SWAT? What a bunch of shameless copycats. Youths have for so long left their future and destiny in the hands of these antiquated, tribalistic, narrow-minded, morally damaged, and "fantastically" corrupt old men. Never have leaders who have so much been bent by all sorts of societal malaise been able to make others straight. It is time to take our country back!

I know where he hid all our stollen billions. All loots are in U.S. dollars, in underground vaults in Abuja and Daura.

I read all the things he tweeted, Lord have mercy! I had never heard about him. This slowpoke, Bello El-Rufia, is undoubtedly idiotic, thoughtless, damaged, morally bankrupt, and certainly operates on lunatic fringes of our society. He is certainly a hater of the Igbos. But, the dusty northerly wind has now fully blown his ass open. But who has begotten such a damaged son? Understand that a decent human begets a decent human, only a damaged man begets a damaged son.

festacman:
The things that I deduced from Bello El-Rufai outbursts on that fateful Sunday and subsequent unnecessarily prolonged grandstanding until this apology are:

- He is morally bankrupt given the ease with which he switched to reckless use of x-rated graphical sexual innuendos about someone's mother.

- He is a spolt brat who lacks sense of respect or deference to parental or moral authorities given the way he brushed aside Oby Ezekwesili's motherly admonition and the long time it took him to apologize long after his mother's regrets and apology.

- He has anger control problems given how he flared up against a stranger like a demon-possessed man.

- He has low level of intolerance given that he insulted POTUS Mr. Trump who is somebody's daddy but wouldn't stand other people's poor opinion about his daddy.

- He is a disgrace to young Nigerians given that inspite of his exposure and high intellectual capacity, his mindset is ethnically jaundiced and strongly prejudiced.

- He lacks political tact and sagacity to grow into a national politician or future statesman, given his lack of environmental awareness and emotional intelligence.

However, nobody is a saint. We all have our moments of madness. To err is human. He should be forgiven. However, he has to, SERIOUSLY, work on his attitude and mindset.

All the things you brilliantly stated accurately described the truly warped personality of Bello El-Rufia. Now, Bello El-Rufia can go ahead and delete his tweets and apologize, but he will certainly be unable to delete millions of already formed memories of him as a morally bankrupt rapist, an ethnically bigoted hater of the Igbos, and a very dangerous, boastful, damaged human being who should never be supported to smell the corridors of power, let alone lead anybody.

Regardless of North's ultimatum retraction, SE governors should still go ahead and send the already mobilized buses and trucks to bring home all Igbos that want to return. Otherwise, SE Governors will be held responsible for blood of any Igbo that is spilled in the North. Igbos in the North are advised to return temporarily to SE while we continue to unravel Nigeria. There is no going back on Biafra.

Nigeria's long era of marginalizing and neglecting Biafrans but feeding fat off enormous human and natural wealth of Biafrans will soon be over. Biafrans are a unique intelligent breed of humans, never before seen in history of mankind.

These so-called Northern youths are a bunch of cowards. They are simply some smelly schmucks. Wearing an agbada to cover your eczema-infested charcoal-color skins, and opening your gworo ravaged mouth will get you nowhere. Biafrans will not fold there arms and watch some lunatics steal their properties.

One thing is clear, 2017 is not 1967. Make no mistake, we are the Great Biafrans. Since after the Nigeria's mass murder, and death by starvation that took away lives of 3.5 Million Biafrans, like mushrooms, we have risen and spread to all corners of the world in large numbers, and have more than what it takes to defend ourselves.

We do not want a war, but if the hausa/fulanis make the foolish mistake of declaring war on Biafra again, I bet you that no world power will come to your aid again. And we the Biafrans will give you war, and definitely make sure you will forever lack the ability to declare war on us again.

It will be unimaginable what will happen throughout Nigeria if an Igbo won a free and fair presidential election in Nigeria, only for an hausa man to nullify it. But that was exactly what happened to then most popular yoruba leader. Before our very eyes Moshood Abiola worn election to be president of Nigeria, Babangida nullified the election and threatened to lock him up if he protested. Babangida proceeded, effortlessly, to connive with another yoruba man by the name Ernest Shonekan to be a replacement stooge, and hold presidency for the hausas. Before our very eyes, under cover of darkness, for fear of Babangida, Abiola absconded from Nigeria. Large crowd of yorubas came out in the street to protest the June 12 election nullification for a few days. Babangida gave instructions, and Shonekan sent a small number of soldiers to disperse the yoruba crowd. And that was the end of yorubas' June 12 presidential victory.

Lest we forget, Babangida only allowed Shonekan, the yoruba leader, to sit in Aso rock barely three months before sending his fellow hausa man, Abacha, to take over. Abacha only had to make a direct phone call during which he ordered Shonekan to announce his resignation, and leave Aso rock within two hours. Shonekan cowardly obeyed. Yoruba's acts of cowardice are legendary, and will sicken any intelligent observer.

Oh! By the way, Abacha's brothers tricked Abiola to come back from his hiding place in London to take over the presidency. Abiola took the bait, flew into Abuja, and was arrested promptly, imprisoned, and murdered by the hausas.

Let the truth be told. Facts on the ground since Nigeria's Independence have shown the yorubas as slaves, and willing tools of the hausa/fulanis. Igbos are spread to all parts of the world, and are well known by their host countries to be intelligent, hardworking, successful, and BRAVE

Playing the clown, making people laugh, and imitating toughness for entertainment purposes are what Charley-boy is good at, nothing more. He seems to be only able to think on surface level. Political and social issues in Nigeria are fast-moving parts, and Charley-boy absolutely has neither the intelligence nor discerning mind required to analyze these complex dynamics in relation to the Igbos.

Charley-boy is completely the opposite of his Dad in terms of intelligence and deep thinking ability. He has used silly street-sounding terms and occasional verbose clichés to attempt to simplistically characterize the great Biafra and its leaders.

It appears to me that there are two types of Igbos - first, those whose claim to being Igbo is their ability to verbally attack and engage in character assassination of their fellow Igbos, and second, those who, actually, forsake their comfort and risk death to take action to stop oppression, injustice, and killing of their fellow Igbos.

I'm not exactly sure how much Charlie Boy has profited from the Hausa/Yoruba gang up against the Igbos, but he seems to have profited immensely. He seems to have difficulty articulating his thoughts in a fact-based manner. And frankly, confused. He agrees that, of the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria, only the Igbos suffer marginalization and naked injustice, but somehow, he thinks Igbos should, despite monumental gang-up against them, be able to make political and infrastructural gains like Yorubas and Hausas.

The existential and political structure of Nigeria is seriously defective, and weighs heavily against any group of people that rejects corruption and accepts hard work. Igbos, generally, do not thrive in societies where meritocracy is ignored, for the Igbo psyche is wired to reward hard work, community service, and personal achievement. All selfless sacrifices and political overtures that Igbos make in Nigeria come to nothing. Yorubas and Hausas will alway gang up to thwart any igbo's sincere effort.

Nigeria is unraveling and it's people taking a dive to the bottom of human decency. The earlier the Biafra, the better.

Like Achuzia, Charlie Boy's belief that for Igbos to prosper politically and economically they need a central oligarchic command structure betrays his ignorance. In fact, it is the unique lack of such subservient structure that has enabled Igbos to do better than other ethnic groups. Our decentralized chiefdom is a huge advantage and serves to place no impediment to our efforts. Whatever an Igbo man, or indeed woman, has not been able to do is only that which the individual has not decided to do. Our ingenuity and intellectual prowess is not stifled by a blind obedience to any Oba or Emir.

The problem is that our hard work and ability to succeed in the face of enormous adversity has long been an intractable source of jealousy and hatred toward us. What we, Igbos, want to seize to exist is a situation where we continue to leave our destiny and those or kids in the hands of those who, not only wish us no good, but by all means hate us, and want to annihilate us.

Igbos are highly respectful of their elders and seniors, only to deserving ones, though.

Out of over 1000 different, nonexistent, imagery Gods being worshiped on our planet by different religions I'm not sure which one is suffering the abuse. Is it the God at bottom of the sea? Or, is it God of the mountains? Or is it the God that lives in a nonexistent heaven? What is the form of this abuse? Physical or verbal? And, why is your God incapable of speaking for himself, and stopping people from abusing him?

NOETHNICITY:
I actually don't need to be told to know what an inherently deceitful fraud Kanu his.
Everyday I weep for millions of gullible souls who ve become soooo destructively radicalised by kanu.
His lack of refinement is increasingly becoming clearer and clearer by the day.
His recent bullish attitude towards poor innocent policemen going about their duty is disgraceful and unbecoming of one who claims to be a liberator of the pple.
Less than 2yrs in kuje and uncontrollable frustration has gotten the better of him already.

Drugs are bad for you, get off drugs. You schmuck!

We all know that christianity was forced unto us by the Portuguese "missionaries," who came with the ultimate intention of enslaving us and stealing from us, yet many of us behave as if, somehow, christianity and bible were handed over to us by some true almighty God.

The stealing and destruction of traditional items of religious worship by Fr. Ebube Muonso and his bodyguards is a serious criminal act, and must be punished by imprisonment. The "Rev Father" and all the perpetrators should be arrested and charged. Our planet, Earth, on which we live has no God of any kind. What you see is what you get. There is no invisible God living in the cloud, or heaven, or anywhere. Nobody, dead or alive has ever seen a real God of any kind, and nobody ever will.

The story of Adam and Eve, and most stories in the Bible, and all other religious literatures are fake. We already understand how we, humans, have evolved to the present day. And we have a pretty good understanding of the process of formation of our planet and billions of other planets in the universe. Our people need to be liberated from this scourging ignorance.

Ability to think and rationalize your thoughts is a good thing. Great minds are usually inquisitive and curious without being aware. But, if you become aware that you are thinking too much, and unable to focus fully on any one thing, that type of mindset may present some challenges on its own. You have to have the ability to focus on one thing and think it through without wondering off to another. Otherwise, you suffer from attention deficit, which results from extreme mind-wondering.

In a fundamental sense, the word 'demon' or 'evil' is a conduct or action that is so extreme in its negative outcome that it defies reason. Basically, demons do not exist as physical entities, they can only be imagined. The configuration a person assigns to a demon will depend on where and how a person lives. There has never been any established evidence of existence of demons anywhere in the world. And, stop making reference to your bible as a proof of anything.

I sympathize with the bereaved families. So sad that the so-called God's church collapsed to kill so many people that gathered to do what God asks of them - honor and worship him.

Only a fool believes that he has a father who lives in heaven, a father that has never shown himself to anyone, a father who loves us but commands us to bow and worship before him throughout our lives, else he sends us to hell fire to burn till eternity, a wealthy father who created the entire universe and has control over everything thereof yet takes his wealth out of our reach, a father that has control over evil but allows evil to fester.

Fools believe it is the will of God who loves everyone to slaughter innocent children, men and woman who have gathered to honor and worship him, but God loves everyone.

Quit religion! Quit believing in an imaginary God. Quit believing in an immoral ancient religious literatures, bible, etc as God's handbook, they are all written by people like you and me.

Free yourself! Go to a secular psychiatric counseling to debrief you of all the religion brainwash that you were forced into very early in life.

We pretty much have a sound knowledge of how we, humans, got to where we are today, has nothing to do with the fictional God's creation of Adam and Eve.
