Very erroneous perspective. I think you should read more on Man and its history. There is nothing limited in nature, so your perception of 'unavailability' and 'vacancy' is a subset of the mind, which is a very limited faculty. When you identify yourself as what you truly are, you will understand that man, is a stateless being and no one has the right to tell another where to live on this planet, how to gather themselves and what to do.

Read more and get enlightened.

Some issues are better answered face to face as my people will put it.the writer is far from reality. my only answer to him is that what ever that made him write that shit must really be giving him a nightmare.IPOB is giving some people heart accident.people listen:the IGBOS got Nigeria independence and nothing will stop them from getting BIAFRA.I can't say more.

kingzizzy:
The Ibekwe guy is writting nonsense. Amnesty International had already announced that it has incontrovertible evidence that the Nigerian security agencies shot and killed unarmed IPOB. The Aba shooting is still on youtube, the Portharcourt shootings are are also on youtube for the world to see.

Despite the huge amount of evidence against it, the Nigerian Army shamelessly announced it would investigate the shooting. How can a participant in an examination also mark his papers?

How can a judge ajudicate a case where he is the accused? Can a detective investigate a case where he is a suspect?

The Nigerian Army should have supported independent investigation. It is an insult to any intelligent person for them to say they are going to investigate a case where they are the accused.

The right to self determination is a fundamental human right.

Youngadvocate:
An sorry you are passing through hard times mentally...though, I guess you should have looked elsewhere to express it.

But when u eventually become normal, pls, do well to visit Google.

laudate:
Guy, leave dem nah! It is this kind of fake self-adulation built on the premise of stewpidity, that makes them feel good! Only backward people would hail a person like Emeagwali, who has made so many false claims about his so-called achievements, on the internet!

naijaphoneguy:

But GLO network is actually not too bad in my area. Sometimes very fast and sometimes pretty fast

9jabull:
To your mind but people with inner eyes knows the truth.

Self determination is our right, Buhari & co is trying to intimidate us but they can't deny us self determination.

#CongratulationsOurLeader, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki - On the Import Duty Scandal

Dear Your Excellency,

Permit me to begin this open letter by stating that you continue to make all of us in Kwara proud — despite the overwhelming political odds that have been stacked up against you since you assumed office on that historic day in June 2015.

You have had all sorts and all forms of weapons fashioned, formed and manufactured against you, yet, you continue to weather all storms; unfazed by the turbulence and difficulties of these testing political times.

Sir, I know that you know this already, however, I would be remiss if on behalf of all forward-thinking Kwarans I did not let you know that we all applaud your tenacity to fight for justice and the adherence to the rule of law; your compassion for the common-man, Kwaran or not; and your steadfastness to continue serving Nigerians as a whole as our Senate President. Congratulations in this regard.

This past month, again, while you were focusing on leading the charge towards the passage of the Senate’s historic INEC Electoral Reform Bill, political detractors attempted to strike a chink in your armor by dragging your name into an issue that the facts on ground showed that you knew nothing about — the importation of a Range Rover without paying necessary Customs Import Duties.

On the imported car, people like me who have been your keen followers right from your days as Kwara State Governor had no reason to believe the cheap blackmail. We have seen this time and time again, play out in the media, with fancy, false and futile allegations been leveled against you.

Your Excellency, please know, that as a man who has consistently shown that he abides by strict protocols, Kwarans know you to be a man that does not get involved or stick his hands in shoddy deals.

The whole issue of the imported car, made no sense to all of us here at home. This is because you stood to benefit nothing from the car. It was not purchased for you or by you. It was paid for by an institution of government, therefore, the only reason we could see for them dragging your name into this was to attempt (and fail) once again to shift the conversation from the great work that the Senate under your leadership is doing, and continues to do.

When the Senate investigative committee cleared you, after the Point of Order raised on the importation of the vehicle by your erstwhile ally, the suspended Senator representing Borno South constituency, Ali Ndume, myself and other young Kwarans began to understand that the recent coordinated attacks are truly an attempt to bring down a son of Kwara; our Iroko of Ilorin; the Oloye! We will not stand for this.

Therefore Your Excellency, albeit brief, this Open Letter is a call to action to both you and your supporters to remain unchanged in the mandate to deliver good governance, on the home front and on the national stage. It is a wake up call to all of us, that our leader, the highest political office holder in Kwara State, Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the Turakin Ilorin is unshakeable, irremovable and undeviating in his promise to make the 8th Senate, and by extension, the 8th National Assembly, people-centered by passing laws and policies that will positively improve all our lives.

With the visit by the high-powered Borno State delegation to beg for clemency for Senator Ali Ndume, it is now clear to all and sundry that the issue of the import duty is over. Done and dusted, they were wrong, you were right! But knowing that those that see your no-nonsense presence on the National Stage as a threat to their impractical plans to control this government — by hook or by crook — will not stop at nothing to pull you down, we will continue to stand by you. We will continue to fight by you. Come what may, you will continue to win. You will continue to marshal the legislature to pass the promised economic reform laws that will create over 7million new jobs for young Nigerians around the country. As you do this, we will continue to celebrate you. The chants of “Congratulations Our Leader” will be heard across Kwara as you continue to make us glow with pride and look onto you as a mentor and role model.

On this note, for you, I pray that the hard times will never last. I pray that our Turaki Ilorin shall thrive. I pray that the Oloye! shall continue to lead. FInally, I pray, that you, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, our man, shall continue to be congratulated and celebrated.

Therefore, “Congratulations My Leader!”

I remain very and truly yours,

Excellent result! Is there any zombie great enough to take up Reno's challenge?

By the way, A2 in Economics and A3 in Mathematics plus an equally competent hand as a finance minister... no wonder the economy was that sound. Unlike someone that only gave us recession.

The East wants industries so that we will reduce our migration to Lagos.

Philip Emeagwali has been listed as amongst the top 10 most intelligent people in the world, having the acclaimed IQ of 190.

Philip Emeagwali, of course, is a renowed and world-acclaimed engineer, mathematician, computer scientist and geologist who was one of two winners of the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, a prize from the IEEE, for his use of a Connection Machine supercomputer to help detect petroleum fields.

He has the 9th slot directly below Marilyn vos Savant, 8th with verified IQ of 190 and directly above 10th placed Garry Kasparov who is alleged to have an IQ of 190.

The Igbo-born Nigerian is credited for inventing a formula that allows supercomputers powered by thousands of processors to perform billions of calculations per second, a discovery that made international headlines and inspired the reinvention of supercomputers.

The supercomputer comprises of thousands of networked computers and the Internet also comprises of millions of networked computers. The supercomputer spawned the Internet.

Emeagwali’s 1970s hypothesis on 64,000 networked computers around the Earth led to his programming of 64,000 processors inside a big box to perform 3.1 billion calculations per second, a world record in 1989. For the latter achievement, he won the 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, which is the “Nobel prize of supercomputing.”

Constructing road without a gutter on both sides is total waste of money. Watch as the road gets dilapidated and messy in few years time.

Modified: both sided gutters spotted. OP am sorry, Obiano sorry.

For your mind you don blow grammar abi

Before diving in to a topic to flaunt your single figure IQ make sure you understand the original post in relation to someone's opinion.

My primary argument was that in my opinion the major issue why This currency fluctuations affect Nigerians was "primarily because USD is used heavily as a legal tender in Nigeria.".

You can never use any other currency except the USD in the U.S.

Do you understand what a balance of trade is? Look up the meaning then go through your post again.

Okay

musicwriter:
First of all, let me know what you understand from the link.

Ikenna17:
Child of hate, why can't you appreciate Nigeria for once?? FYI, it's Nimitz and it's a class of Aircraft Carriers which aren't in the same categories of ships as these! And to those clamouring for aircraft carriers, what operation is Nigeria undertaking that they need to shell out 1.5billion dollars for a shiny new aircraft carrier?? Even the great Russian Navy only has one, please think again

prettyboi1989:
so nigeria get destroyer? interesting to know.

The world is being ran by the capitalist network that control the world's economy, and at the top of the chain is the world Bank and the IMF. Every other organization, including OPEC, even the UN is in their pocket.

It is a shame that with all the brains we have in this country this is where we found our selves today.

In my opinion, CBN pumping dollars in the economy is a rubbish idea, voodoo economics.. Whose idea was it anyways It is a shame.

Before you start quoting me, let's reason this,

1. People talk about Forex this and that, Is Nigeria the only country that its citizens operate FOREX?

Why aren't all other countries currency down the toilet as well?

2. People say because we import more and export less. Yes that might be one of the reasons but let me tell you sth. Do you know almost everything sold in the U.S is imported? Yes I kid you not, Iphone is designed in California but produced in China.

The U.S import Bananas, Plantains, Pineapple, coconut Yes.. People living in the U.S, check the label on the bananas at Walmart, Kroeger or which ever grocery store you go.. The label would read most times, From Honduras, Guatemala, Costa Rica or some other south American country.

Also, the U.S import tooth picks, I kid you not, I was surprised when i purchased one and the label reads made in China.

You could disagree with me if you like but the main issue we have is over dependency on foreign currency.

There are some law offices that charge their clients in dollars, some government officials/ contractors are paid in USD.

Even some business, schools etc. Accept only USD as a form of payment.

Why would USD be accepted as a legal tender in Nigeria You couldn't use GBP in the U.S.

Likewise, you can't use USD in GB.

The implication of some business using USD as a legal tender is that, those businesses that accept Dollars from their clients, they pay their employees in Naira and make their office purchases in Naira.

They are indirectly running a BDC. Recall, when clients and the government go and source dollars from banks to pay those busineses , contractors and personnels. Then those business pay their employees in Naira and make their purchase in Naira. At a point banks will run out of dollars and what happens?

Economics 101, scarcity of dollars.. Then those dollar businesses will start selling their stash at a higher rate.

Does anyone recall the NNPC guy that they found $10m cash in his house? How much was recovered from those judges Diezani Plus lots of others we don't know about.

Have we ever asked ourselves, CBN have pumped almost $1bn into the market since this year and still pumping where is the money going

musicwriter:
All we have to pray now is for the world Bank and IMF not to crash crude oil price. Its only if this don't happen that the CBN would be able to sustain this effort of injecting dollars wisely into the market.

wristbangle:
If some of the projects are being contracted to foreigners, will they accept naira?

wristbangle:
Am telling you. Why not reduce the rate to 10 percent since the parallel market is catching up already with bank selling price. Even the article said BDC are willing to buy @ N370 from speculators which is N5 below the approved N375 selling price @ banks.

Another thing that drew my attention on the article is BDC are willing to buy but don't want to sell in order not to incur further loss. The question is where do they get the liquid to purchase these dollars except if they are into big business sha probably through commodity trading.

To be honest, if these dollars used in defending naira are used for infrastructural development such as power, road, housing and water projects, the country will attain it's projection in a short run but with this current CBN intervention, it's going to take a very long time as development will be slowed down.
