I knew something like this would happen......And its all IMF's fault....After they came up and said the Naira was overvalued at 20%.
They just gave hope to people who have been hording the dollar in Nigeria.......and they have started the nonsense again

Now to those saying that CBN intervention is wrong.
I don't agree with that. In everything you have to have short term plans and long term plans.
Yes we import a lot of foreign goods but that is because there are either no local alternatives or the cost of producing them here is too high or the quality is poor. To over come these issues, a lot of investment needs to go into infrastructure to support cheap, quality production of goods and services, and that is a long term plan.

However in the short term we cannot just pull the plug and say ban everything, inflation will hit the roof and the economy will just collapse...
So we need a gradually whining of our old habits and gradual infusing of made in Nigeria for Nigeria philosophy...

But then we need to tackle corruption/nepotism first, because these are the things that will not let our system work...the CBN is doing what they need to do to keep our economy running

Yes you are correct. When it comes to facing a common enemy, of course we have to speak with one voice, but do you think we can keep on always finding and using a common enemy or opposition to unite ourselves?

Talking about setting and achieving goals as a source of unity may not be sellable because each of the individual ethnic groups and religion that make up the country also have their own goals and achievements which their promoters actively propagate in order to make their own ethnic/religious groups show greater allegiance to than the actual unity of their country.

The average Nigerian loves his religion and ethnicity more than his country. As long as the majority have this mindset, do you think we can ever grow united as a people? Until people begin to love and propagate the factor(s) that brings us together as one nation more than our individual affiliations, we may never get it together as one people.

Anything is possible....History has shown that great leaders are able to change the mind set of their people and force them to align with their dreams.........from the founding fathers of the united states, Constatine, Hitler, Ghandi, chairman mao, José Rizal of the Philippines, mandela...the list is endless....nothing is impossible once the right leadership with the right road map is in place......they can move mountains and make the impossible possible

The funny thing is while we are busy fighting and arguing....the other tribal group is quietly looting our common wealth

LordAdam16:
Seriously, he could simply have opened this thread with a more innocuous title like When the Moors conquered Spain and Portugal and Art depicting black people in pre-modern Europe. We'll understand and I'll be cheering him up.

But when they start bringing sh*t like African Supremacy when the same Moors that did the invasion was not answering a core African name like Adekunle but bearing an Arabic name Zayed, then they'd bring a lot of shot.

Look at the names of the black people he's sharing outside Spain and Portugal in pre-modern Europe, most of them are European names. You conquered people and you started answering their names. Why did the Europeans living in Nigeria not answer Nigerian names like Emeka, Musa, and Adewale.

Very soon he'll say English is an African language because the Knights of the Round table were all black.

Just look how they switched something so beautiful to something so hideous with lies and false narratives.

-Lord

Are you sure its they that were answering European names and not the other way round....you see all the information/ knowledge you hold were provided to you by the white man, and the info giving will always tilt in their favor......We cannot really tell what is true because most of our history is lost..........We have been hearing for a long time that there were nothing like education, civilization in wets africa, we are told the first story building is that nonsense in badagry.....but just of recent they unearthed a magnificent city, with story building, unique architecture in ogun state (http://www.blackhistorystudies.com/shop/the-great-mighty-wall/article-about-eredo/).......With this example, should that not prick you to think of what other false information's we might have been fed over the years by these whites...

I admire your point of view. I also share your school of thought on Nigeria being the trail blazer or pace setter. However, with the structure of Nigeria today, it would be quite difficult for Nigeria to set such an example.
The colonial settings of Nigeria left it in such a way that it would be very easy for divisions to arise.

If i may ask you, can you exactly name one factor that unites the whole of Nigeria? Or one single reasonable shared heritage which Pan-Nigerians can propagate radically to convince all Nigerians the need for our sustained unity and promote our oneness? I seriously doubt there is, we have no linguistic, cultural, religious, geographical, ideological oneness.

Had it been Nigeria has a single large majority group, it would have been somewhat better where the majority would be expected to lead and others follow or at least dominated to follow, but no, Nigeria was formed on a tripod majority stand where 3 different majority groups are always seeking for domination and exaltation of their own group, not to talk of the 2 major opposing religious group who equally want to be in control at the same time and one exalts itself over the other, just like having many captains on one boat.
Sadly, this is almost the same situation in most other African countries, the reason why you see endless ethnic/religious clashes and contests for superiority and this is why i advocate for a united Black Africa or at least a united West Africa where there would be no reasonable or sellable forms of division by the agents of division to divide the people, nothing like majority or minority ethnic or religious groups and there would be a uniting factor (Black/African nationalism).

Have you noticed that whenever Nigeria is playing in the world cup, nations cup or any soccer event, there is always unity at that point.
I believe what we need is a common rally point, a common enemy so to speak. We need to sink it into the subconscious of our populace, the importance of lifting ourselves on to greatness.....And if we can sell that, that will be our rallying point, our point of unity and then we can leave all the pettiness and move forward because they will all suddenly be of little importance, all previous points of division will appear insignificant compared to the goal and dreams ahead of us........

Abagworo:
All these sort of threads promote inferiority the more. Most ancient leader tribes have been relegated to the background because of unnecessary focus on glorious past. Greece for example is no longer as developed as USA, Japan, Canada, England etc. so their pride of ancient civilization is useless.

You are totally wrong, and you have missed the essence of the thread. You mention Greece, has anyone changed the Greek history, we know they where once great and that is recorded in history.......their origins is well known to them.

but African history has been totally twisted and virtually rewritten.....tell us that we used to live like animals, that we had no civilization, that we were saved by the white man. And many black folk are swallowing these lies, truly believing that they are worthless...

The thread is meant for us to know that we where a great people and that we should pride ourselves that we are not inferior and we can be great again.

Braden2:
Don't you sleep?you were here before i went to bed and you are still here going strong . or does your handle rotate shift? Are you a robot?



hahaha how can benin have street light in 15 century when electricity was just invented in 1879 (that's 137 years ago) . you don't know how to lie and you expose your ignorance and pettiness .
I can do a better job presenting Africa in a positive light and solutions for the continent's plight. no need to lie .

Stop displaying your ignorance, street lights in those times was light by burning oil not electricity.

Your knowledge is so little and yet you are bragging so much.....educate yourself man

Like they say "What goes around comes around"
Many civilizations have risen and fallen....and many will still do so

And if you look through history you will see that any time a new civilization rises they always try to erase the existence of the previous civilization.

So I guess its the time of the white man now.......What I know for sure is, the time of the blacks will come once again, but I do hope we will treat others better than they are treating us now....

However we need to preach our greatness to our children, we need to know about our greatness and revive it once again
We need to stop all the divisions among our people....we need to unite and pull our resources and show the world our greatness once again.
We have been seeing flashes of our greatness across the world in business, academics, sports...etc

We need a center point for us to rise.....Nigeria should actually be that point being the greatest congregation of black folks in the world. Our being called the giant of Africa is not a mistake...however we need to rise and understand the responsibility we owe the black race....we are not just failing our selves we are failing black people all over the world

FlirtyKaren:
HKN Gang Boss and Omo Babaolowo crooner, Davido, used up 73,300 rand which is about N1.6Million for his wears in a Gucci store in South Africa.

The singer then took to Snapchat to show off the receipt from his shopping.

When is this boy going to grow up and stop all this immature nonsense......we know you have money, but what is all this useless post about

I Have said this many times, real rich people don't have nor see the need to show off,,,

My only question is, who was snapping the pictures and how come this cameraman was not manhandled.

Or is it that when people commit atrocities they also film themselves

anny268:
Afonja vs Igbo battle is becoming boring and irritating on this platform.. Just congratulate the guy and stop making fun of yourselves.

The funny thing is while we are fighting and arguing....the other tribal group is quietly looting our common wealth

Yeah, until you catch bullet for head...

..

I heard one of my neighbors tried to commit suicide.........bros swallowed 100 tablets of vitamin C

Is it right for a landlord to make you sign quite notice from day one of your tenancy

Rapsainot:
Sometimes the way our leaders think baffles me. For Christ sake why can't we increase the rate of production and stop the fucking dollar fight that will not even benefit the masses? After you finished all the reserves on the war , I wonder what will be left for you to use again. Grrrr this is damn annoying. I'm ashamed of the leaders we have.

Obviously you don't know how financial systems work
