Sigh.... It's not an obsession with dollars, it's just a way of showcasing how the naira has lost its value over time. When a currency dramatically loses its value, it means that people can not save ... Here is an explanation

Let's say I'm a content creator in Nigeria. How will I be able to buy the tools required for making content. In the globalized world no country produces everything, you have to buy things that are being produced outside the country. A weak currency makes it difficult to purchase things.

The problem is not a 'weak' currency. The problem is low wages.

Dobodobo04:
Thank you President Biden.

USA doesn’t have qualms selling us weapons, our armed forces just have to display proper human right procedures, which is to the citizen’s benefit.

We shouldn’t just be buying weapons but what President Tinubu should do is allow US military to partner and train our armed forces in various locations across the country.

The ones America has been ''training'' in other countries, how far with them?

Does the trouble there decrease or increase?

Mumu people.

Until you people understand how ruthless and selfish these whites are, you will make no headway.

As you are buying those weapons from the US, their job now is to ensure you keep needing to buy those weapons from them.

Meaning they are remotely behind the terrorism and banditry, which spurs you to pick up the phone and order more helicopters for billions of dollars.

The Chinese and others can see right through them. And keep them at arm's length.

You lot should be able to do likewise, but your colonial brainwashing has dealt with you seriously.

You can't see your left from your right, and you blindly embrace your enemies as your friends.

Yujin:
You're as naive as a pet chicken.
Nigeria is not a nation and can never be one. India and Pakistan separated when it dawned on them that they were incompatible. That was commonsense there.
Here in Nigeria, we know we're not compatible yet we pretend and base our decisions on hurting others even when the decisions won't help us in the long run.
Nigeria's problem is fundamental besides other myriad issues. Without solving the fundamental one, nothing else will work. The main question now is this; can the fundamental problem be solved? Yes it can but no, it won't be solved because commonsense isn't common in Nigeria.
The fundamental problem is the structure of Nigeria. If it is not changed, forget it, Nigeria will descend to the worst contraption in the nearest future especially when their no longer any free oil to lubricate her rickety wheels.
I'm not like you who's all emotional than logical. Nigeria is DOOMED. Take a look around and tell me what you see. Not at war, yet her army are scattered all over the six regions to 'control' the violence all over.
Terrorists are pampered and enlisted to join the army while non-violent protesters of any sort are gunned down.
Look at the economic trajectory... gloomy like the vulva of an overworked farm cow.
Look at her infrastructures, dilapidated and unreliable.
Her tourism is dead. Nigeria can't host an AFCON currently and even moving forward. Nigeria is dead.
You're here thinking I'm campaigning for PGO while trying to defend a fraudulent personality who stole power but can't handle it. For you information, I have never campaigned for Peter Obi because I'm a futurist who plans many years ahead of the present and can foretell to a reasonable level whether a particular decision will be helpful in the longrun.
Based on my desires for Nigeria, PGO will delay it but BAT just like his predecessor, will bring us closer. True to my projection, they have brought us closer. See how suffering on monumental proportion has been unleashed on the inhabitants of Nigeria who mostly lack commonsense. Since they refuse to learn from other countries experience, they will have to learn first hand through their own experience which won't be palatable. We are in that desperate time now without help from anywhere. At the end, most will agree to trade Nigeria for their own lives.
I reiterate the good tidings that will succeed the demise of the evil contraption so those undeserving of the suffering within her can progress in peace.

Igbo man. What will happen to your 30 million Igbos living in the “incompatible” north, west, and middle belt after you “dissolve” Nigeria?

Are you prepared to receive, house, feed, and employ them in your “compatible” Igboland?

Or you think you can “dissolve Nigeria” and still be chilling in Lagos, Abuja, Kano etc in your millions, making money and sending to the East to build mansions?

ERR…. NO. You will be deported en masse as illegal immigrants, leading to the biggest humanitarian crisis in recorded history.

You, Igbo man, will be CONFINED to your little hole in a circle, surrounded by troops.

You will become the new GAZA STRIP by your own hands and idiocy.

So kindly shut your secessionist IPOB trap.

It’s so easy for you children to come online and type thoughtless rubbish from the comfort of your bedroom.

Him travelling out or the president solving the security challenges, which is more important?
A truely patriotic Nigerian will demand for good governance.
Is it not f@@lishness that brothers and sisters will be fighting themselves trying to look good in the eyes of politicians?
Is a pity the British left very early, they could have stayed a little so that development and education could have reach everyone.

The British looted the economy and built no schools apart from a tiny handful of dodgy ‘missionary schools’ by English priests that taught general garbage.

You are only educated because Nigerians came to power and built thousands of public schools and universities.

If the British were still in charge, you’d be an illiterate, because literacy rate was under 5% at independence after nearly a century of British dominance and export of our resources. The literacy rate is around 75% today, thanks to black rule.

One thing you mentally colonised people need to understand is that colonialism is a system of rule in which the invader rules a country with the intent of exploiting and looting its resources to benefit his home country.

Colonialism is not something that was or is designed to develop YOUR country.

It’s a system designed to ROB your country.

The reason the west are so rich and developed is because they robbed your land and other lands across the world, and massacred millions of people in the process.

So seeing them as this benign set of people who “should have remained here longer” is really the height of ignorance and stupidity.

I’m still waiting for them to answer the questions I asked.

Awka Rising: A World-Class Hotel Fuels Transformation

By Mark Okoye II

The winds of change are swirling around Awka, Anambra state. Governor Soludo's audacious vision to transform the city into a thriving international hub has sparked debate, particularly around the proposed 4-star international hotel to be built at the Awka International Convention Centre site. While some individuals view it with skepticism, others recognize it as a strategic springboard for Awka's ascent. As the Managing Director of Anambra's investment agency, I stand firmly with the latter, and here's why:

At the Helm: A Leader of Unquestionable Pedigree

Governor Soludo is no stranger to defying expectations. As Nigeria's former Central Bank Governor, his name became synonymous with the seemingly impossible banking consolidation of 2006, a feat that earned him international acclaim and the title of "best performing Central Bank Governor in the world" by the Financial Times UK. This wasn't a singular stroke of brilliance; it was the culmination of a career steeped in exceptional leadership, economic prowess, and an unwavering commitment to progress.

Building on a Foundation of Success:

Governor Soludo isn't building on an empty canvas. Anambra is already on an upward trajectory, fueled by strategic investments in infrastructure, education, health, youth empowerment, and social welfare. The ongoing Solution Fun City, featuring the country's largest water park, an amusement park and a Country Club, the Awka Shopping Mall (under construction), the 10,000-seater convention center, and the ongoing inner-city road infrastructure projects stand as testaments to this trajectory. The proposed hotel isn't simply another brick-and-mortar addition; it's a meticulously chosen piece within a grander puzzle.

Beyond Accommodation: The Ripple Effect of a World-Class Hotel:

History provides powerful validation. Look at Abuja, where the Hilton wasn't just a hotel, it was a cornerstone in establishing the city as a global player. Dubai's meteoric rise mirrored a similar strategy, with world-class hotels paving the way for tourism and business booms. Rwanda's transformation, initially questioned, stands as another beacon, showcasing the transformative power of strategic hospitality investment.

Awka's Untapped Potential: A Fertile Ground for Growth:

Anambra possesses immense potential waiting to be unlocked. The warmth of its people, the richness of its culture, and its strategic location all contribute to its allure. Governor Soludo's focus on security, infrastructure development, social agenda, and youth empowerment creates a fertile ground for the hotel's success.

Imagine:
- International business travelers coming through the Chinua Achebe International Airport, convening at the 10,000-seater convention center, and finding luxurious accommodation and unparalleled service at the new hotel.
- Tourists drawn to Anambra's cultural tapestry, enjoying a seamless hospitality experience that fuels the local economy.
- The hotel itself creating jobs, attracting ancillary businesses, and becoming a vibrant hub of activity, a landmark of progress for the city.

Statistics Underscore the Impact:

While the qualitative benefits are undeniable, the numbers speak for themselves:
A JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group study revealed that one new hotel room can generate $28,000 in annual tax revenue for a city.
A Cornell University study found that hotels create an average of 2.3 jobs per room, boosting local employment.
In Rwanda, hotel development increased tourism revenue by 44% between 2010 and 2015.

Financing the Future: A Prudent and Sustainable Approach:

The project will not burden Anambra's finances. Governor Soludo's fiscal strategy is straightforward but well thought out: statutory revenues and IGRs finance roads and the social agenda, while projects with strong income-generating potential like the hotel are structured with concessionary project financing, ensuring minimal risk for the state. Potential exit strategies like public offerings will secure long-term sustainability, making the hotel an asset, not a liability.

Awka 2.0: A Legacy in the Making:

The proposed hotel isn't just a building; it's a symbol of ambition, a tangible manifestation of Governor Soludo's unwavering belief in Awka's potential. It signifies the metamorphosis of Awka into a vibrant, investor-friendly city, a destination on the global map. A masterplan is being developed to truly reposition Awka to become one of Nigeria's fastest-growing cities.

Ndi Anambra, join hands with us in making this vision a reality. Let's ensure that Awka's future is as bright as its potential, and as remarkable as the leader charting its course.

Where is the hotel?

Even the render or blueprint for us to see how it will look?

Mr Grammar.

Is it your big English that is the world class hotel?

All the major bookies worldwide now have NIGERIA as the top favourites to win AFCON.

This means that millions of punters worldwide are staking cash on the Super Eagles lifting the AFCON trophy in the next few days.

Good luck to our lads.

HardMirror:
Truth is I don't know how Nigerian youths fell for this Peter obi scam. Is he not part of the old stock? Instead of us to look for someone that is credible, we turned a dirty politician like Obi to Jesus, in fact he is currently above Jesus

PDP man Obi



Turned saint.

Evilthoughts:
Stupid xenophobe you didn't have borders before the white men came to your country and those places you mentioned were not countries . Your hate for other Africans is blinding you to see the light of progress that could take place. We know the countries you want to form a country with are xenophobes like you and you will all be defeated by your hate for others.block heads.

She has low IQ.

That’s the problem with discussing politics with women.

Wonder why she’s not on a Botswana forum since she ‘has so much in common with them’, yet brought her dirty self to Nairaland Nigerian forum.

AkinPhysicist:
I don't know what will happen on Friday. But I am very sure of the teams that will play in the final:

DRC vs South Africa.

Which means Nigeria will NOT get to the finals.

What unification? Lol When have Africans ever been united ? Get real.

When was China ever United before they got United?

When was the USA ever United before they got United?

When was India ever United before they got United?

When was Russia ever United before they got United?

Low IQ.

Just remove your loud, irritant empty head from this discussion.

Dfather1:
And Buhari that more than half population of Nigerians yearned for did better than Godluck right?

The problem we have as Nigerians is that we hate to succumb to the truth. If you have voted wrongly due to your ignorance, tribe, religion or probably gullibility, just accept the fact and join the campaign to move the country forward and not giving flimsy excuses.

Was Yaradua not a known politician when he became the president? Who would have thought he would try his best? Was he not the member of PDP? Was he not the one that said he was not too sure of the election that brought him in as the president?

We are part of the problem, we all know the lesser devil (as there's no saint in today's Nigeria politics), but we choose to go with the wrong person due to tribe, religion and because of our selfish interest.


Let's continue like this, until the hunger is harmonized and our brain can be reset. We will then come to common terms devoid of tribe, religion and sentiment to make better choice.

My friend please shut up let us hear word.

So who should rule Nigeria, Mr fake detribalised Nigerian?

Not your Igbo choice Obi, who was an Abacha acolyte when others were fighting and dying for democracy?

And then later became a PDP chieftain?

And then after years of looting in which he became a multi millionaire in dollars, famously refusing to pay his state doctors for an entire year, he dumped PDP out of naked ambition to be president, to join LP, and started claiming sainthood?

And then because Nigerians said “Nope! Not so fast, G”, we are all fools?

Come on will you get lost from here!

NONSENSE.

Go and look for your FATHER to deceive with overnight rebranding.

Idiots.

Lionessza6:
Your thinking is really evil

1. I knew somehow Northern and southern Africa would be your target. We all know that those two parts of Africa would be flooded more than the other regions. We all know the so called "free movement " you're advocating for is actually mass migration , and the two mentioned regions would be the main victims.

2. No , we don't vote for the " genius " because he is actually a slowpoke. Why would countries who have less in common get rid of their borders to create an even bigger an unmanageable sh$thole? . Your United Stated of Africa would be a combination of Nigeria, Somalia and Ethiopia and we want no part of that. Civil wars , extreme poverty, lack of development, lack of democracy etc . No, thank you.

3. Most parts of Africa are very tribalistic and religious, which = hate, backwardness and under-development. Being borderless won't cure those but will spread the misery around. Every country should try getting rid of half their sicknesses*** before we can think about this, no?

4. Borders don't stop trade if truly that's what Africans want, but we all know most won't trade shyyt but will use this as an avenue to run away from their own self-created hells to go and cause trouble for others .

5. Europe still has sovereign nations, they knew very well that mixing Russians, Germans ,Brits etc together would cause never ending civil wars , hence they made sure each group runs their own affairs but most are united against any external threats which is what we should be discussing not this "one Africa " " one passport " rubbish. Disaster....disaster ....disaster .

African unification is in the AU Charter.

It’s a matter of when, not if.

No one’s asking for your permission or approval.

Just see how propaganda from the emilokan camp has turned this poor forumite into a failed researcher

So op, you believed all those lies them bmc pipo told you to paint Peter obi black? Sorry e hia

Keep searching and researching, you will find what you're looking for very soon.

What?

Are you saying there’s no brewery?

I’ve been researching this brewery built by Obi in Anambra state and haven’t been able to find much information about it.

Can forumers please shed more light on this facility.

Is it still functional?

What’s the name of the brewery?

Has it got a board of directors?

How is it run?

Who banks the profits from the brewery?

Does Peter Obi visit the brewery?

Just to check up on it and see if it’s still running okay.

Any info on this?

Much appreciated!

Coldspice:
Sanwo Olu has achievements in the rail sector. In fact, Sanwo alone has more achievements in the rail sector than all Anambra Governors both dead and alive put together.

After 8 wasted years as Anambra Governor, tell us a single achievement of Peter Obi in the Electricity sector. Just one.

He built a power plant for the brewery.

Princedapace:
I am not your regular person here. I know football. But super eagles arent good for now. It is just the fact. No need to lie. And they cant win the cup. That is for sure.

SHUT UP.

Ghana made basic defensive errors and you defended them, saying ''it is part of football''.

And the guy asked you, ''if Nigeria made the same mistakes, would you say the same?'' and you start talking rubbish. Idiot. Just get lost. I hate your type.

Self haters always feeling inferior to other countries.

Wrong. Thousands apply for 50 vacancies even in UK and USA

Exactly. I was on Linkedin the other day, and for one job, you will see like 500 applications.

In today’s world you have to find a way to generate at least some of your own money independently.

Ghanaian fans in Abidjan, still in shock over their team’s humiliating loss to Cape Verde at the AFCON, have devised a means to reverse their team’s negative outing so far - which was to STORM A CHURCH in the Ivorian capital, in order to appeal to the Almighty to intervene in their national team’s fortunes, as they face Mo Salah’s Egypt tomorrow at the elite tournament.

The number of entourage are 25, other were crown that came to monitor and see to security of the venue, we are talking of SE, home to IPOBI

People like Obi is nobody compared to our president. We are talking of first person of Nigeria here.

The country should do whatever possible to keep him alive.

EXACTLY. I don’t even know why Tinubu placed restrictions on internal travel.

I thought it was only for foreign travel.

If he wants to travel within Nigeria with 1,000 people, I have NO problem with it. He is the President of Nigeria.

Obi can go and fck his mother there.

Maybe he wants Tinubu to travel with 3 people so that his IPOB boys can assassinate him.

Hateful devils.

TINUBU, IGNORE THE BASTARDS AND DO WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Once that church rubbish enters their heads, they start behaving like Enoch in Things Fall Apart, the mumu that was forming Christian even more than the English missionaries.

The truth is we need foreign help

NO. You must end your trust in foreigners. They ALWAYS make things worse.

What we need is to double or TRIPLE the size of the Army and Police, and FLOOD the most affected regions with troops and officers, with clear mandates to fish out all criminal elements.

Station them there indefinitely. Insecurity will end.

Nigeria has only 300,000 policemen for a volatile country of 230 million.

It's ridiculous.

We're severely under-policed.

We need a MINIMUM 1.5 million policemen.

Ideally 2 million.

Well paid and well equipped.

Insecurity will end immediately.
