Business › Re: Sudden Chinese Decision Shakes The Corners Of The Entire World. by Konquest: 7:37am On Feb 10, 2024
stabilizer:
China surprised the world by deciding to cancel the dollar peg in the stock exchange transactions and decided to deal officially by using the Chinese yuan instead of the dollar.
This is a bold and important step in China's economic history.
This means that the dollar has become non-existent in Chinese trading and the US dollar will fall strongly against the Chinese yuan.
It may affect it in global markets.
All the global markets were stunned by the decision.

The news was discussed today on the BBC World English afternoon program.

It is an economic war that could lead the world to a devastating war which cannot be neglected if America acts foolishly in the face of this decision !! China 2021 will lead the world.

This is China's old dream and what it planned to achieve for decades or more.

China plans a separate digital currency e-RMB, to take on fights with $

e-RMB, which is set to be the first digital currency operated by a major economy.

A sovereign *digital currency provides a functional alternative to the dollar* settlement system and blunts the impact of any sanctions or threats of exclusion both at a country and company level,” last week’s China Daily report said.

Some Government employees and public servants are to receive their salaries in the digital currency from May.

A decline in cash usage is expected to continue amid the growing popularity of digital payment platforms and as people avoid physical contact during the coronavirus pandemic.

It may also facilitate *integration into globally traded currency markets* with a reduced risk of politically inspired disruption.

The Dragon has started making moves
(as predicted/ expected)

Food reserve is meant to be a back up should there be crises in the country. Now that you are using the food reserve now, what will happen after it is exhausted?

Solving a long term problem with a short term solution.

-- It is easier to turn a blind eyes to the obvious problems ---


1. Insecurity on our farm lands. ~` Provide local security and vigilantes to farmers

2. Little to no, mechanized farming ~ Youths are not interested farming because it is not mechanized and older people who are there do not have the strength to meet increasing demand. Providing access to farm equipment will increase yield and bring new players into the system.

3. Bad and inaccessible roads between farms and the urban areas ~ Bad roads causes many farm goods to spoil before they arrive their destination, causing prices to soar. Federal government needs to look into key road networks into rural areas and work out models for state government.

4. Lack of capital to farmers. ~ Inflation is causing a lot of farmers not to meet up, cost per farming hectare has increased in the recent months. There is a need for FG and SG to look into how to assist farmers to increase capacity.

5. High cost of transportation ~ FG can provide subsidized transportation for food transportation using efficient means like railway, trucks and ferries.


6. Provide Tax Breaks to farmers - This will encourage big players into the industry and increase food production.

7. Establish Farm Estates - Setting up farm estates across the country. The farm estate is a full package turn key system (machines, training, loans, security and all farming equipment in one farm area) for small/medium scale where prospective farmers just come in and start farming and everything is provided for. At the end of harvest, the government will off-take (buy) produce from the farmers right on site and the government can offload (sell) the products at a determined market price. This is far better than forcefully trying to control market price. This will cut unemployment drastically and improve agricultural export to high levels.

Five 🇺🇸 U.S. Marines were confirmed dead after their helicopter crashed in a remote area outside of San Diego while on a training flight during a fierce winter storm, the U.S. Marines Corps said on Thursday.

Their CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter went down in Pine Valley, a hilly remote area east of the city, on Tuesday night as it was headed to the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, California, the Marine Corps said in a statement.

The remains of the crew members were found during a search and rescue effort carried out by the Marines and local authorities.

"It is with a heavy hear and profound sadness that I share the loss of five outstanding Marines," Major General Michael Borgschulte said in the statement.

The helicopter departed from the Creech Air Force Base in Nevada about 40 miles (60 km) northwest of Las Vegas on Tuesday night and flew into rainy and snowy weather as it headed west. About eight hours later it was reported overdue.
My condolences go to the families of the brave U.S. Marines.

Well, there are significant marriages involving Yoruba men and Kanuri women, and vice versa. Senator Ali Ndume is a Kanuri man from Borno State. There are also some Yoruba families that actually have Kanuri paternal bloodline (married to Yoruba women) from decades back but they are Yorubanized and call themselves Yoruba. Even the erudite Edo-born scholar, Ahmed Yerima's father is a Kanuri originally from Borno State and his mother is from Auchi in Edo State. Ahmed Yerima claims Edo State and his wife is a Yoruba legal practitioner.

The main thrust of this thread is that the former Emir of Kano, ex-CBN Governor and international technocrat Sanusi Lamido Sanusi AFFIRMED that there is NOTHING wrong in moving the CBN departments and staff from Abuja to Lagos to safe huge cost. He said when he was the CBN Governor he wanted to do the same but had NO time left in office to do so.

Kingsley Moghalu the former CBN Deputy Governor also recently said the same thing and supported the relocation move of the CBN departments and staff to Lagos from Abuja.

So, case closed.

EmperorCaesar:

That CBN dept relocation to SW isnt my headache as my opinion here wouldnt change a thing but then, If Ndume was a SE person, Low IQ individuals here would have started telling us how its every Yoruba guys dream to marry an Igbo girl

Thing is, the liberalism of Yoruba men is so expressive that they can marry from any tribe, In fact, They've produced two presidents and none had a Yoruba woman as his first lady(none has an Igbo first lady too)


Kudos to a tribe that doesnt discriminate...Great Men is what they are
Point of correction.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo's First Lady was from Esanland. Stella Obasanjo was indeed an Esan-Edo woman from the illustrious Abebe family of Edo State.

However, Senator Oluremi Tinubu (the current First Lady of Nigeria) is a Yoruba woman from Ijebuland. She is paternally an Ijebu-Yoruba from Ogun State and her mother is an Itsekiri woman from a prominent family in Delta State.

Itsekiris also have Yoruba ancestries from Ilaje, Ijebu, and Ife. Omadino and Ode Itsekiri in Delta State were originally founded by Ijebu migrants. The oil and gas-rich Ugborodo (formerly Escravos) was also founded by Ilaje migrants from Ugboland in today's Ondo State over 500 years ago.

Yorubas from Ilaje, Ijebu, Ife are direct cousins to the larger Itsekiri people and this is why Itsekiri language is classified as Yoruboid. Also, there was a Bini-Edo migration into Ode Itsekiri led by Prince Ginuwa (whose mother was from Ile Ife) and 70 of his lieutenants. The oracle was consulted over some events, so he had to go into exile from Benin even though his father was the reigning Oba as of the 1480s.

Hope this helps.

Moment Nigerians trooped to Stanley Nwabili’s father’s house in Rivers State after Nigeria made it to the AFCON finals (video)

After Nigeria’s thrilling victory over South Africa in the AFCON semifinals on Wednesday, February 7, some people living in Rivers State trooped to Stanley Nwabali’s father’s house to celebrate.

It comes as no surprise that Stanley Nwabali, the goalkeeper of Nigeria’s national team Super Eagles, has been receiving widespread praise for his outstanding saves during the match.


While some Nigerians flooded social media platforms with his pictures and heaped praises on him for helping Nigeria secure its victory, residents of Rivers State embarked on a jubilant procession to the goalkeeper’s father’s house.

Videos circulating online capture the lively scenes: some excited residents rode motorcycles, while others jogged and sang victory songs on their way to honor his father.

The report stated that Africa’s largest refinery’s move to import crude from the US was a sign of just how competitive American barrels had become in the global market.

The multi-billion dollar refinery, according to Bloomberg at the time, was also expecting two million barrels of crude oil from Trafigura Group in February.

The report stated that Trafigura Group sold two million barrels of WTI Midland to Dangote refinery for end-February delivery.

It said this was disclosed by traders with knowledge of the matter, adding that it was the first time that the giant refinery had purchased non-Nigerian crude.

Trafigura is a multinational commodity trading company headquartered in Singapore, with major hubs in various locations including Geneva, Houston, Montevideo and Mumbai. The group participates in the oil and petroleum products market.

They primarily trade in base metals and energy, including oil, and also other commodities like minerals and metals. They have activities involving US oil as a globally focused company.


Dangote refinery can load 2,900 trucks a day at its truck-loading gantries. The products from the refinery will conform to Euro V specifications, according to its management.

“Our major problem is foreign exchange. We are getting US dollars from sales of crude oil, whereas we have low sales at the moment. We used to experience pipeline vandalism.

“But since the assumption of Tinubu’s government, production of oil has increased. Not only that, the government realised recently that the crude oil we are, and will be getting in the next six months or so had been sold in advance. So, they don’t get value for whatever they are selling now. But gradually, things will change and we need your support to understand us,” he added.

AbdulRazaq said the government is immediately working to force down the cost of key staple foods by releasing grains from the strategic reserve and distributing the same to the people at intervals.

The devaluation of the naira, the Governor noted “meant that merchants from neighbouring countries are mopping up grains from Nigeria.


“This is because it is far cheaper to buy from the country and then resell at higher prices in their own countries, especially in the West African sub-region”.

Acknowledging the spike in inflation, he urged the people to be patient adding that the government’s investments in gas-powered vehicles will manifest after their distribution in the coming months.

The game of soccer is entirely a team work.

If one department of the field game such as the defensive players, mid-field players or attacking players fail, then it affects the ENTIRE results at the end of 90 minutes or 120 minutes. So, kudos to all the players and the goalkeeper.

This is a huge anomaly on the part of these insidious traders selling right on and around the rail tracks.

Energy sapping "community service" such as the public sweeping of the environment and the cleaning of gutters should be meted out as punishments to these violators of the rail track setbacks when they are eventually arrested and charged to mobile courts.

The community service will dissuade them from selling peppers, tomatoes and more on the rail tracks again. Period.

Who told you that they buy at high prices? If you know how wicked our middlemen are and Fulani politicians opposing this government, you would know that they deserve whatever comes. The government knows that there is food in the country but they are being mopped up by powerful individuals who have trillions of stolen naira and dollars to throw around so they can create artificial scarcity. It's scary. The government need to locate those warehouses that they're using and release all the food there to the public. The government should introduce policies that will prevent extremely powerful people who used the country's resources to establish gigantic farms but who are fond of selling to foreign buyers to stop, unless there is surplus in the country. Dangote sells cement produced in Nigeria, with Nigeria's resources way cheaper outside than he sells to Nigerians. Same cost of production o. Join transportation to it and it is cheaper. No be juju be that?

Idris, who argued that Nigeria was in no shortage of food, said the Federal Government was in talks with millers and major commodity traders to avail more supply, thereby reducing the price of some commodities.

He also alleged that some elements were taking advantage of the high food prices and the depreciation of the naira to wreak havoc.

“The government is also talking to major millers and major commodity traders, also to see what is available in their stores, to open it up so the government will provide some intervention, discuss with them, provide some intervention to make this food available to Nigerians.

“What the government is noticing is that actually there is still food in this country. Some people are taking advantage of the situation, especially because of the depreciation in the value of our currency, which has led to the cost of these food items also going up.
