Yeah, willingly with the threats from police.
Even hardened criminals could crack in the presence of police let alone your wife.

As to the statement written, I am certain a police officer dictated the content to her.

ThankUJesus:
CBN is the problem not BDC, instead of given dollar direct to CBD, CBN refused, CBN give it to a company , CBD now get it from that company at high rate ,it is very wrong, this company is not known under the law but BDC is know under the law... CBN is just doing rubish.

What company?

TUANKU:
Who interviewed him? All i see is "he said this" "he said that".
And the link you posted is that a weaponized link (malware) or a click bait?

In attempt to sound smart, you made no sense.
That link is as legitimate as they come.

splashbaby:
Hahahaha Naira and not eNaira, this is a different entity all together. If not CAC will not have registered it. With the CAC registration, eNaira is not an exclusive property of the CBN...this is what CAC registration means...they can't jump on it as if they own it. What have they been waiting for all this years to make eNaira a statutory name or property.

Speaking from experience, you can almost register any name with CAC as long as another person does not own it
and it is not expressly illegal. Words like Nigeria, Naira and the rest that should be protected are freely given out.

BTW, company registration is not the same as copyright or trademark.

Moblux:
If it were to be a sane clime, ENaira Payment Solution Ltd could make hell of money from the litigation. Unfortunately, this is Nigeria where the Central Bank has been converted to commercial bank by the many commercial bankers brought in to superintend it.

This company should never have been registered in the first place as individuals
don't have the right to copyright national assets or their derivatives.

By the time the case is over, this greedy company may cause trouble for other businesses with "Naira"
in their name, even Nairaland may be targeted.

excellence44:
After all, Obadiah Mailafia isn't wrong.
Some serving govs aren't spared.

Of course, everyone accuses "governor" but can't mention their name.

AutoBodyParts:
Beautiful. Hope they do same in Nigeria

So, Nigerians can start using lawmakers to harass them over subscription fee.

vineyardfarms:
how do they fall into this trap of CRAP LOVE MADNESS?? Spending so much money on ghost lover?? Where those involved insane?? Are there no men and women over there. There is much to these narations. I felt no pity for them, they should have known better.

You are just another fraudster felling lucky.
The one scam money that will hook your throat is on the way.

joyandfaith:
Both. The point is that they should be paid using civil service scale. Nigerian doctors working in public health institutions in foreign countries are enjoying similar condition of service with doctors who are citizens. No discrimination.

No foreign doctor will come to work in Nigeria at civil service salary scale. Unless they are fleeing for their life.
Same goes with other expats, a country like ours can only attract talent by offering attractive package.

Where you also paid to grant this interview?

joyandfaith:
Some state governments in the North employ foreign doctors and pay them in dollar while Nigerian doctors
of similar experience, specially and commitment to work are paid based on civil service scale. And if you are southerners working as doctors you will be employed on contract basis.
I had similar experience working as doctor in the north. I was given 2-years contract job. I later resigned and moved down to Lagos.

Why will a government which find it hard meeting up with salary and other obligations "waste"
its money on foreign doctors?

That could only mean two things.
Either they can't find local doctors with required experience or they value the skills of foreign doctors.

Since you have experience on this issue, are those expat doctors entry-level GPs or specialists?

justmondris:
Not true bro. Most Nigerian companies are taking serious advantage of the high unemployment rate in Nigeria.

Very true.
If it all about taking advantage, the same people will not be wasting the money they would
have saved by paying foreigners 5-10 times the locals salary.

Akwamkpuruamu:
In a profession that I have same capacity as a foreigner with same competence, I can never accept less in comparison to what is paid to a foreigner in this place. Never. Instead I won't work

Hunger is calling on you.

Doctors are paid according to the value of their services which depends on
factors such as experience, specialty and commitment to work.

It is private establishment that hires foreign doctors and they have their reasons.

festacman:
It was even a locally-based Rivers Angels FC striker Vivian Ikechukwu that scored the two goals.

Say what you may but it is time Golden girl Asisat Oshoala stepped up to carry this team like most special players do all over the world.

Was she even part of this team?

nymphomaniac:
The only hope for our Naira is for the government to sit up

What does this practically mean?
The government has no card to play against demand and supply.

(embrace good leadership and reduce import /encourage export, stop loan collection)

Unless you turn a mindless dictator, you can't reduce import with any positive effect.
The attempt to directly control the import of rice led to more than 100% increase in its price.

The only thing the government controls here is the loan.
But they don't just take loans for joke.
All the sharing of money aka social investment and arms deal has to come from somewhere.

cut off the rottening arm (revoke BDC licenses and embrace rate convergence) and cauterize the wound (continue the path of 1 and 2 above) before it becomes too late.

BDCs are already cut out of fx supply and the slide still continues.
The populace believe the country is very rich but just need a better money sharer.

The reality is that there is no magic fix for our forex short term without the populace taking a financial hit first.

Tonymexes:
Sound people like this should be running this country. Nigeria is an unfortunate place,ruled by hopeless idiots

I doubt if you understood the article.

tommy589:
Not in Nigeria

Not in America, Russia, Germany and many others.
In fact, any country with more than a million population or multiple ethnic groups
should not toy with the presidents security.

tommy589:
It is when citizens are treated fairly before African leaders may relax their securities

I hope you don't really believe this.
There is no such thing as "treated fairly".
It only takes one person and the rest will be history.
Many presidents have lost their lives to such naivety.

walkbrazil4k:
I have not visited ask Rock before, I bet every where would be filled with military men, in video you can see me walking freely, no military check point

Stop misleading people.
You didn't visit the presidential palace, you visited the tourist-allowed area.

lessonotes:
well I don't know what Kagame has done or given to the west that he's loved by them. In fact, they see him as a shining light for Africa's leadership, but he's kinda an acceptable dictator to the west who has been ruling since 2000. Infact, since 1994; according to Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Kagame), He was considered Rwanda's de facto leader when he served as Vice President and Minister of Defence under President Pasteur Bizimungu from 1994 to 2000

He also modified the Constitution in 2015 to be able to run for additional terms.

Oh Mother Africa, where is thy sense, Africa Unite and grow outta self slavery

Stop deceiving people with pointless propaganda.
Even the most democratic African countries are still struggling with poverty.

It is time you realize that what matters to an average African is economic development
and not the number of times power has changed hands.

Talking about self slavery, why is being loved or hated by the west an important criteria for you?

thesicilian:
Cases like this where the defendant is a known outspoken critic of the government should be judged outside of the country by judges that have no allegiance to the government or opposition parties.

Which neutral country do you suggest in this case?

SlayerForever:
Clown. Who were the European backers of Nzeogwu's coup?
Or Murtala's coup?
Or Shagari's overthrow?

I won't waste my time on you.
You are not too slow to do research are you?

Yahoo nowadays is no longer for the jobless.
Even herdsmen are now into it.

Lots of ignoramus rejoicing on this thread.
There are 2 categories of coup backers in Africa; Europeans, Russia or opposition party.
This has always been the case.

In the case of Sudan, the coup plotters are Bashir's loyalists.

They take several days to celebrate and enjoy the punishment of Sabos.
Then they blame DSS the following week.

This time around they are blaming "sponsored" hoodlums rather than DSS directly.

phineas:
Premium times,and you too?

What demand and supply is controlling the naira please? Is it the sum of our imports versus exports? Or an aboki association doing price fixing for its members on What the dollar price should be through a common platform?

Nobody is fixing price.
It is basic economics.
If everybody who goes to Nigerian bank for forex gets any amount of dollar they need, "black market" will disappear overnight.

If premium times can tell us of 1 developed country that allows a website publish the rates indivuals agree to part with their currency separate from its validated National rate then we will agree that it may be an acceptable practice.

Millions of websites actually!
Apart from finance information sites such as https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/.
Every website which accept international transactions publish their own separate rates.
Paypal for example has a different rates for pounds to dollars than you will get from Google aggregate calculator.

Why did they allow this, you ask?
Because it is stupid for central banks to fight customers who
wants to exchange currency. Whatever the market determine is the rate of exchange.
In fact, official rates has no meaning in market-control forex and central banks in developed
countries don't cry over them because it is pointless.

So how do central banks of developed country influence rate if they wish?
They either supply more currency or withdraw existing ones.
It is that simple.

However if you can't name 1, then ask yourself are they stupid to not let that happen? Or can we do better? Is this not trying to do better,the final question what side are you on PT

You need a basic education in economics, especially demand and supply.
If Emefiele actually believe that Abokifx determines exchange rates, then he is a dumbass
and should resign.

TMKsouth:
They're also denied that. I believe there are political formations within the country that could challenge his rule democratically if he opened up the space and didn't rule with an iron grip. Who gets elected with 99% of the vote - even Mandela didn't have that luxury.

A better approach is for the opposition to start by taking over provinces one after the other.
It is very hard to gain power(peacefully) at national level if a party does not have strong subnational bases.

TMKsouth:
Great first point but I disagree with u on your last point This guy is assassinating people all over South Africa and Europe. Just last week there was a hit in Mozambique as well.

Assasination will be an extreme action on his part.
Can those guys really pose a political challenge in an election?

And his entire population is scared to criticize him - is he God?

If I pick 10 random Rwandan newspapers, will I find no article criticising Kagame harshly?
I ask this question to gauge the Rwandan political atmosphere because over here such allegations are routinely made
even though you will have found 10 government-critical stories before seeing a favorable one in the same medium
alleging intimidation and total blackout of opposition voices.

Look at China also and all its crazy cultural and electoral reforms in the last month. One guy wakes up one day and decides the fate of millions of people without their consent. I'm not signing up for that.

I don't think Kagame has changed a bit.
I have always seen him in the image of strongmen like Lee Kuan Ye and Gaddafi.
There is merit to their style because of the inherent risk in "full-scale freedom"
which is often weaponised into ethnic or group-based hatred by desperate politicians.

You will appreciate the value of stability and development if you have outreached to conflict zones.
This is not to say that despots or dictators should be tolerated or basic freedoms sacrificed but it is important
to create a balance and seek incremental approach to change to avoid plunging the populace into disaster.

Sonnobax15:

The whole of Africa still has a long way to go.....Just like how she has like a century to produce another sensible leader like Nelson mandela

Which other continent has produced a leader like Mandela?

At the end of the day, it is the developmental results that counts.

chigoziri2403:
I am disappointed in Kagame,I thought he was different from other Africa leaders

Why do you think he is different?

@TMKsouth
Mentally unstable mother murdered her three kids.

Don't blame quarantine.
