Emefiele has been deceiving many of you.

Where is the law that banned trading in dollars or any foreign currency?

Let me school you on Governance In Nigeria

There's legislative arm (upper and lower chamber) they enact laws.They use laws to achieve results working through the executive

There's the executive arm. The MDA's they have a Board,advisory/Governing council, a Minister and A perm sec at the highest level.

They work with policies (when there is no law)to get results. So Emiefele can authorize and adopt an executive policy for finance in Nigeria (which he has done) so long as it does not conflict with any existing law or the constitution.

"We sincerely hope this suspension will lead to the appreciation of the Naira from next week" - the article said.

This is the best masked sarcasm I have ever seen. Of course, the free fall of the Naira will continue until the government allows market forces to determine the exchange.

The numbing incompetence of Buhari and his puppet CBN governor has been unparalleled since 2015.
Nothing nice about it,it is rude and insulting to the country,and her people

How information around an economy is managed is very important. Money is a key element in a countrys soverignty.

They (aboki) made themselves the official voice (another way to see it is official representative) of a bussiness unit that had been deemed illegal in the country ,basically they are giving authenticity to an illegal activity against the directives of the country and that's their response," global bodies rely on us", "temporary stop to said activity"...and "hope the Naira appreciates" .I repeat the firm and their spokesperson are irresponsible,and their press release is offensive...

This write up makes no sense,

The same House officers that had their salaries scrapped

But residents have been complaining of no funds for their trainings? The problem is that clinical Doctors are not online to respond to this.ARD needs a dedicated communications unit made of staff they pay...That's quite simple enough,pay them with your nationwide dues and let them bring these issues to you and tell them what to explain to the general public

Demoralizing the military should be made a crime,A real offence punishable by speedy trial and convictions in Nigeria

The military are husbands ,sons ,father's and brothers to a whole lot of people.They and their families put the lives of this men and women up for the safety and future of many,How do we allow people abuse them verbally like this? What kind of people stay quiet and allow clowns tar and feather the military?

The thing is Nigerians think everything is a joke,this must be curtailed.Any news aimed at been malicious,falsified ; or lacking evidence must be investigated.But society must also call the perpetrators to order.how do you rejoice at the decimation of these gallant men,at best ask why? Ask what do they need?

Remember the foreign lands that you quote have serious laws to protect their men and their morale.... they have strong policies against hate speech , against pretending to have served for any reason ( stolen valour act ) ,etc

This abuse must stop and it will only be so if we all speak against it.that said if the question is why? And how can they be better supported thats a different conversation to demoralizing the military

Lalong is incapacitated, because the nation’s constitution does not give him the powers to give directives to security agencies but yet he is the CSO of his state. This Nigeria constitution really needs to be reviewed or thrown away completely
That's to long a process in an emergency, a faster alternative approved by state must be found, such as special response teams just for this purpose

It is wrong, very wrong and ungodly that we leave whole villages indefensible with no plans at all for their protection, and they are been attacked repeatedly,even children are not spared and everyone is silent

How difficult is it to have an emergency response plan that works? If the problem is approval then the blood of all those people are on the heads and hands of those delaying the approvals,those that can do something but do nothing,those that can say something but say nothing

How hard is is to amend laws and seek for approval to ensure people ,lives and property are protected,is that not what Governance is?

The US can respond to any threat anywhere in the world in 6hrs,here whole villages are wiped out in operations reported to last for over 6hrs and no help from anywhere, are we so bereft of wisdom or empathy? Where is our humanity?

If it is lack of knowledge on how to go about it ask amotekun leaders, but to do nothing to safeguard people, that is a great evil,in the face of which we must speak up and not be silent
TV/MoviesRe: King Of Boys: Kemi Adetiba Releases Sequel To Her Popular 2018 Movie by phineas:
This movie will be best appreciated by lovers of culture and cultural heritage

You see the music and what you all call incantations were culturally and historically significant Yoruba oratory

The movie had the Ijala ode- that's the song Yoruba warriors of old used to ginger themselves before a battle,they basically hype themselves and their prowess,the beauty and significance can only be captured in careful interpretation, just imagine like Shakespeare's odes

It had Oriki oba-the cultural song for acknowledging ,praising and crowning a king,

It had a form of dierge the song for loss, at the loss of a king in Yoruba also has a name, that's by the way

It had proverbs utilized with depth

I liked how they delivered their lines passionately and naturally

My only reservation was the religion depiction ,

It's a great movie,

Neddstark:
Crap. Nigeria is having insecurity issues and you are here hyping sovereignty. How is sovereignty benefiting you? As we speak children are in the bush kidnapped all because they wanted an education. No police or military is trying to rescue them. Abba Kyari the so-called highest performing officer is there building his mansions and dining with criminals with the hype around him. If the government was performing, her sovereignty is worth being prioritized. But in a situation where the developed world is helping you detect your corrupt law enforcement, we should be ashamed of ourselves.
Do you know who abba kyari is and his record? Apparently you don't, he is the cop they send when thy truly want an issue resolved, or some criminals fished out, and he succeeds.

He was he CP every State wanted

He was he first team documented entering the forests with guns to arrest kidnappers, his team was he team that solved many high profile National cases so many that people started wondering how does he do it

So to blame him for all the rot in the police as seen in this your post is misplaced,he was one man who tried his best with the cases assigned to him, these allegations suggest he had his lows too but truth remains he was a high performer when it came to getting criminals picked up in Nigeria

Ade3131:
Do we still practice rule of law in this country? If Yes, then there's absolutely nothing wrong in releasing Abba Kyari to the FBI since you agree they've been a mutual agreement between both countries to hand in criminals in a bid to contain internet fraud.

In addition, how best would you have wanted the US and FBI to go about this particular case?

Nigeria is in the mess we find ourselves today because some people are treated like they're above the law. More reason why our politicians commit crimes and walk away freely b'cuz there's always an exception to the rule when it's them.

I repeat again and again, irrespective of our sovereignty as a nation, any bastard that ire to the laws of any country should be publicly shamed and delt with.
The foreign office should have presented a petition to Nigeria and allowed Nigeria carry out its investigations first,and if guilty sanctions still lie with Nigeria

That said you are right,that must not and Nigeria has demonstrated that it does not support its citizen committing crimes abroad,however remember in this case this is about the position (the head of an intelligence unit in Nigeria), he should not even be tried by just any court I he was a US counterpart, why should it be different here,

Yes he may have messed up but the US no try,they messed with us on this one,that treaty should be revoked as punishment,and let them find how to deal with those yahoo boys on their own

Oh really? Why did the same government not waste time in the past before turning in people same FBI indicted of same crime as Kyari?
They are not serving officers of he State especially security officers,that's the difference,no need to play ostrich. If I have to play explain the many reasons a country must not allow that,then I shouldn't be having a conversation with you in the first instance

That said it appears Nigerians don't like the treaty that allows regular citizens respond to fraud allegation and be tried in the US,it was a good initiative done in the spirit of support and collaboration to ensure openness and make sure all fraudulent boys don't escape to Naija and hide under our soveriegnty to commit crimes

However if the US will use this same treaty in a manner that disrespects the country to humiliate us (despite full cooperation from Nigeria at the expense of its citizens) and potentially put National interests at risk,then it's time to consider revoking the treaty 100% , end of story.

I repeat again,we are a soverign nation any attempt to mess with our sovereignty outrightly or subtlety,any act that places it at risk must be nipped in the bud,we owe it to future generations of Nigerians

This matter could have been handled better by the US,let's call it what it is,it is a gross disrespect to Nigeria the way it was handled,an attempt to ridicule the country despite all the support they had received in their fight against "yahoo boys" by the country

What Kyari did is a trademark of many Nigerian police , they will serve the highest bidder even if na known criminal. I no trust one single Nigerian police cos they’re all the same.

What is funny to me is the police trying to defend him or asking him to come clear his name, why not let him go to the US and do the name clearing and come back home? Must we always defend rubbish all in the name of sovereign nation? You guys go about begging for ventilators, grants and loans from the US and didn’t care about your sovereignty then, now you’re shouting sovereignty. Are you guys okay at all?
Our sovereignty is the reason we are not a vassal state paying taxes to another country,so yes we must defend our sovereignty ,again to help you understand it means anything that challenges soverign issues must be addressed, all those things you listed do not relate to our sovereignty,our laws,our borders,our money,our military or paramiltary ,our defence etc and those related to them those are soverign matters, let's all learn this and widen up.

It is not just hushpuppi's statement.
The conversation between hushpuppi and Kyari was used to implicate Kyari
The all-expense paid trip to Dubai from Hushpuppi to Kyari is evidence
The pictures of Vincent in jail sent to Hushpuppi is evidence
The transfers made by Hushpuppi to Kyari via another person's account is evidence

Now the question, is what do you stand to gain by supporting criminals. Here is a criminal in uniform who has blood on his hands but you still want justice averted from him? Are you this wicked or the morals in you as good as a septic tank?
Our sovereignty superceeds all you have mentioned,it's like how the US will meet pass a judgement that renegades any aspect of its constitution

PoliticsRe: Hushpuppi: Why Police May Not Release Kyari To FBI by phineas: 9:31am On Aug 01, 2021
This is not about fraud it's about jurisdiction and National security because he is a high ranking serving officer of the law,

Ask yourselves how many serving US soldiers accused in afganistan and other war torn countries were tried by the local country laws

Will the US allow any of its serving agents or officers be tried investigated by other countries local authorities on acts related to their official duties or tried in another country under local laws for said actions?remember they must speak the truth at all times.

The US will never allow it for their serving officers and agents so Nigeria must not, and yes it's different cos he is a serving senior ranking oficer,to do so is to ridicule the country and place a National asset in foreign hands,nobody does that

The best they the US can ask for is observership status on his investigation by the local police authorities, anything else such as extradition for investigation is ikoja aye, and I speak as a son of the soil with National interest at heart,it should not be allowed

shakyum:
For those supporting "super cop Kari" you have to start using your brains to think and stop using your lengs to think.

If you have followed this story very well, you notice that Chibuzor wanted to stop the scam, Chibuzor told the Qatar business man that Hush is a scammer, the Qatar business man then reported to Hush about the whole stuff. Chibuzor was yet to convince the business man that Hush and Boma were scammers (I guess Hush built some trust between him and the businessman) before it got to Hush. Hush then told "Super Agabada Cop" that he should arrest Chibuzor and detain him so that he could finish his scam without anybody to hinder the scam.

So now you can see that Abba Khari needs some serious questioning by the FBI, he arrested someone that was about helping the Qatar business man from being scammed, when the Qatar business man couldn't hear from Chibuzor he thought Chibuzor was the real scam and sent more money to Hush.

Hush sent about #8M to Khari, so if someone is threatening your family and you need help from the police you will need to send such.
I take my time before responding to National matters,that's how lon it takes to see the hands of all the players in the matter,

1. What is at play here in summary is a clash between how we do things in Nigeria and versus not the rest of the world, but the US. at the end of the day it boils down to our sovereignty, full stop

2. Abba kyari allegedly collected cash to arrest and investigate a person,in Nigeria it's an unofficially institutionalize a practice for an investigation to commence,private individuals are expected to fuel the police car,pay the patrol team ,find the phone search etc,there are many excuses for this which includes funds not released officially for these services etc, but in Naija that's the way it is,I must add it doesn't mean it's right,but it's been institutionalize



3.Abba kyari alleged offense is the Naija police way,and before you say 8m is a lot,it doesn't matter the amount it's 50k for some it's 50m for others it's what the payee decides to pay

4.I suspect these are the issues a case of payment for investigation,big crime in US,unofficial standard practice in Nigeria

5.The resolution o this matter as regards our high performing cop ultimately is a test of our we handle matters that regard our ability to govern ourselves with our own laws,said crime was committed on Naija soil,we MUST decide how it is tried and sentenced not any foreigner.

4.the factors to consider are his previous performance,his history of any prior crimes etc. we can decide to give him community service for all we care that's what it means to be a sovereign state.

5. If Abba kyari has truly done any good any effectiveness in Nigerias fight against crime,then it's time to bring our full soverign might to address how he is investigated handled on his matter,lastly this is a test subject for how everyone in Nigeria may be treated one day and choose to be investigated and prosecuted on Naija vs US laws in future,and before you say I am not a criminal just consider all the contract Infractures you treat as simple issues in Nigeria,that day is here folks,choose your court

Your response is a typical of response of Nigerians that stems from failure to see real problem, we are so good at addressing Symptoms and leaving the Root Cause of problems. Yoruba man will say "a fi ete si le, a npa lapalapa".

The question no one is asking is, how come Lighters and Gas Bottles (flammable compounds) are left where a nine year old child could easily access them to start the fire?

In a sane world (I don't want to use developed world), the Store will prosecuted by the government for compromising Public Safety. I am sure in America, the parents of the child will sue the store for negligence and exposing their child to danger.

Another point worth discussing was they had a camera capturing the event and that did prompt a quick response for fight and quench the fire? What is the essence of the camera? They had gas bottles and lighters and they are no fire extinguishers? What a dangerous set up!!!!

If you ask me, the said investment of N2b was lost due to stupidity of the Store Owners. If lessons are not learnt from this, we will soon see a repeat of such fire.
1. The child is not an ogbange
2.Children play with stuff all the time,the lighters should have been above the reach of children or supervised
3. The store was careless and risked the lives of the public with their fire hazard and poor fire prevention strategies
4.The child can never be blamed for the stores incompetence,they put the child in this mess,repeat she is a child
5.The picture of this child should be brought down by all,any blog or site with her picture should be prosecuted
6.All stores should learn from this
7.The girls mother should get a lawyer ( a good one)
