We cannot go on like this.. This is not the way out to stabilize the naira, the only solution is to go the way we did with fuel subsidy, no more special treatment, if you have a window the I and E window and a parallel market with two different rates in one economy, some privileged people who have access to the I and E window to buy Dollars will buy it at a lower rate and sell at the parallel market at an higher rates, also the world is no more in the 90s where market forces closes with banking hours, shut down the I and E windows, buy and sell the dollars at the going rates in the parallel market.. With that you have unified the exchange rates and allowed it to float freely, stop selling to the banks. If you have to sell to the banks sell at the aboki rates and buy at aboki rates.. The demand for dollars I can guarantee will go down 40% under just one week.. Thereby forcing the rate down...
The CBN honcos knows this, this is what we need not loans to defend the naira

It might be ok for short term but what happens when it's exhausted? It's a vicious circle.. Only way out is for CBN since they are the largest holder of the currency or the IOCs to buy and sell at the parallel market rates abolish the I and E window.. It's just a conduit for another round tripping.. That's what is causing the rise in dollars thereby triggering inflation.

So make dem shut down I & E window make Aboki dey determine Forex rate. Na wa for Una.

All these northern elites speaking from both sides of the mouth. After this man finished speaking about poverty in the north he went to marry a another young wife and started dropping babies. How can you then preach to the northern men to limit the number of wives and children so poverty can reduce when you too are overpopulating everywhere.

abhosts:
Wonders shall never end. Nigerians youths that did a whole nationwide protest complaining about cop's brutality are now romancing with the idea of military rule that is way worse.

As the Yorubas say "Omode lo n se won". It's childishness that is worrying them. Give it some years this man's rule will go the way of all military rules.

You left fuel price to the forces of demand and supply and also floated the naira and marketers are getting their dollars at high rate and you are saying fuel price will not increase past this? How please? When you no longer have control of the market. The bottlenecks they want to remove in the downstream sector why didn't they remove it before all this mess. These people are taking Nigerians for a long ride.

BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA.

Which way Nigeria?

I don't envy the president at this moment. Buhari removed subsidy, Tinubu went to foolishly take credit. Plus how can you float the naira at the same time subsidy is removed. Double wahala for dead body.

Myer:
The Only mistake a person can make is listen to the voice of everyone except the voice of God.

Some parents did all what you listed here and it still failed. As long as no one knows tomorrow, any thing can happen at any time and disrupt ones perfectly drafted and charted plan for their family.

Man truly is lost without God.

Prov.19.20 - Listen to counsel and receive instruction, That you may be wise in your latter days. -- null
Prov.19.21 - There are many plans in a man's heart, Nevertheless the LORD's counsel--that will stand.

You have heard God's voice clearly before?

ecolime:

Na strategy bro

Does Tinubu look like someone who is interest in confronting Niger militarily?

He is the ECOWAS leader. The letter to the senate is just for him to make ECOWAS member states, Buhari, France and UK see that he made attempts.

Now, no super power will blame Nigeria or him for not protecting their interest.

Even a new born baby knows the senate will reject the prayer 7 of his request.

Underate Tinubu's Political sagacity at your own peril. Nigga is the real Maradona reason why we never wanted him in Aso-Rock. You can't set a trap for him.

Even the great PO knows him in and out, reason why he purposely left out election result and seeking out cancellation of his candidacy.

Your head dey there. Do people really think Tinubu that just entered and is battling the effects of subsidy removal and exchange rate unification, Boko haram and UGM is eager or willing to go and invade Niger? Smh.

That letter needed to be sent for record purposes as evidence of the efforts he took as ECOWAS Chairman..

Common sense is not common in this country.

1stGenAmerican:
You’re correct, Sir. Wagner and Islamic extremist groups are already deploying throughout West Africa, especially the countries with recent coups. Sooner or later; Wagner and the Islamic extremism groups will be trying to cross into Nigeria and unless Nigeria wants the problem, they need to chop off the head.
Just to tell you guys that aren’t brainwashed by Russia how crazy some of these Africans are—
Putin has been in power (this term) for 11 years and even though the propagandists deny it, many Russians are displeased with Putin. In Russia, if one word is heard about overthrowing Putin, someone is going to get killed or go to jail because Putin is a dictator that tries to rule with absolute power—he’s also a White man who doesn’t want any parts of his country destroyed, he wants to maintain order and remain the only leader. Putin wants to maintain order in his own country with no infighting between Russians while he encourages vulnerable Africans to do the opposite. Putin and his paid propagandists encourage Africans to group and overthrow their governments, shooting, burning, and destroying their countries in the process. Putin knows that military rule doesn’t work and destroys a struggling country even further but he knows that African people will follow his wishes without thinking about why they should do something in their countries that he doesn’t allow in his.
He promised grain and some Africans are too excited to realize that Putin is the reason for the grain shortage—-he promised it but it still hasn’t landed. He is promising to throw grain to Africans like feed to chickens and he is probably laughing at their leaders’ excitement.
The way Africans are on world news flying Russian flags and chanting their love for Russia is embarrassing—it’s something not even Russians or white Russian supporters in the west aren’t shown doing.
Now, after Africans have professed their love for Putin and the coups, he is publicly saying that he won’t be recognizing the military rule and wants the democratically elected president back in office. Do these guys feel like fools yet?

Some African can countries hatred of the West will make them to ally with a worse person. If possible sef this Putin will bring back USSR, someone who is looking for how to gain ground.

Now the Wagner group is growing in the countries where coup took place.. Before you know it Russia will directly or indirectly influencing things in Africa.

Change of slave masters 101.

Your name is Abraham, behave like one. You can be my younger brother....as in my real "junior junior".

Do not insult me for my opinion. I can as well start insulting you, but I won't. Dearest bro, my opinion is my opinion. You can disagree and debate it with me but do not insult me.

First, I live in Europe for a decade, and I stayed most of my time in Moscow, so I know Russia very well. Listen to me, I was approached as a machinery to move weapons to Nigeria as far back as 2010 (won't give details here). The network is invisible (I can't even trace it again) and they hunt ordinary people who are smart to work for them. Also, crude and refined oil scammers approached me too to be their strategic brain in defrauding oil buyers. I reject all these bad businesses, and when I wanted to move into cocoa legally, they checked me that their network is from Cote D'Ivoire. After this check, I left Moscow finally and relocated to Nigeria. I do not want wahala with those people. Bad people are everywhere, and there are very good Russians who are still my friend.

Back to the main point. Let us compare a military rule vs a war.

1. Russia will not join. Also, the Wagner group will not too. Russia and Wagner are not on good terms like that again, and even if they are...they will only send weapons. How many weapons will they send when they are fighting in Ukraine?

2. Whether you like it or not, when there is a signal Wagner is supplying weapons, UK, US, and NATO will secretly send to Naija too. Why? They know Nigeria is weakening its strength in this Ukraine war. So, all this bla bla bla that Russia will kill us is false.

3. The whole of the Nigerian army is greater than all the rest of the West African army.

4. The only issue that you mentioned is Algeria, and Algeria has not said much. Only you guys are making it huge like the way you concluded Russia is going to back them. This is West Africa. Nigeria has a vector as the leader in West Africa. We have common law. Algeria is in North Africa. Do you get it?


You are all afraid that people will die. Yes, people will die, and this is why they are military. This war is not about Niger, but about defending Nigeria. If we do not go and send them packing, they will all come together and fund the military to hijack the government here too. Just imagine those boys becoming governors and leaders. It is going to be worse because they know nothing, and they will still take advice from these corrupt politicians. And since no one can check them, they will destroy everything just like how Babangida and Buhari did. Abacha is still ok because he was already in govt for many years before he took over.

Gowon and Buhari are the most ignorant among them. Just imagine Buhari at over 70 was dull. At 70, he had every resource and experience, but he was still dull. Not to talk of when he was just over 30 years in 1983 when he hijacked power. Do you know the kind of governors we had then? Governors who could not even speak good English. They knew nothing.

See, the war we fought to restore democracy came with sacrifice. MKO paid with his life. Many were assassinated. When we compare the pain of the years we faced, it is better to fight a war when Buhari took over. If we had fought a war, we would not have passed through such agony. I guess you are a kid, and you don't understand the infrastructure and opportunities in Nigeria in those days. Guy, the military destroyed everything.

General Babangida started corruption which is the monster we have not been able to conquer. Countries in Asia were set back by natural disasters, but they have gotten over it. But see what corruption has caused us. Better we paid with blood in 1983 than what we went through.

The military must not return to Nigeria; else, we are all dead. Boko Haram is very tiny compared to what we will face at the hands of the military. They can wake up and say...no one must travel out of Nigeria again. JAPA syndrome is over. Thats it. They can send boys to the street, and start flogging everyone. What will you do? Torment of many years with real backwardness.

Military rule is equal to communism. Take it or leave it...it is. It is worse than going to war.

You made too much sense. Three gbosas for you. To me the actions of ECOWAS are necessary at this point. You don't go looking for war but if it is required you fight it. Soldiers are paid to die that's the reality. No be Russian and Ukrainian soldiers dey die everyday?

I just pray ECOWAS sticks to border closure and cutting of electricity and restriction of fly zone. That's enough. No need to send troops.

Military rule is nothing good.

Abrahamweb:
See this a$$ clown.
If you support Tinubu,enter the front line na, idiot.
Russia will not officially enter to help Nigerien military,that's why they have PMCs (Wagner group).
On the issue of terrorism, France and america forces are the ones training terrorist in Niger and sending them to neighboring countries,it's one of the reasons the military in Niger took over power.
Read well before spewing nonsense.
Algeria sent 45,000 troops to support Niger,how our weak soldiers wan take handle that if the cannot handle common Boko Haram for our backyard here.

Make una sofri dey lie o! Ahn Ahn!!! Some people's hatred of the west have clouded their reasoning. They are now formulating lies. Kai.

yemmit90:
Read my post every well, I didn't support the war, reason I said Tinubu should not waste our scarce resources to fight war in Niger.

Military Coup is like movement in Africa, it is just a matter of time before it happen in Nigeria if nothing is done now by African leaders. So Ecowas and its leaders has genuine reason/interest to stop it now by removing this latest juntas.

ECOWAS is doing the right unless this coup mentality will keep spreading.

Blazebond:
The day Russia drop a single column of troops in Africa to support a military coup,na that day Russian and African romance go end.

Exactly!!

I didn't vote for Tinubu but I support his actions so far regarding Niger. Whether he is bluffing or not, he has to show ECOWAS strong disapproval of military incursion in West Africa. It has to be stopped before it becomes a Hydra.

MAKAPOLY:
Oftentimes we wonder if any good thing can come out of Nazareth just like that young man asked in the Christian book, yes it can!

While many condemn military takeover tagging it the worst form of government,let's not forget what Thomas Sankara did in Burkina Faso. Never in the history of any under-developed country in Africa was such transformation ever recorded in less than five years.

Thomas swept the street of Ouagadougou so well that the host of heaven walked past and said"Here lived a man".While the concept of democracy is noteworthy,we must come to the realization that democracy isn't meant for every country be it small or big.

If Nigeriens are so pleased with this military government and supports this new General in town to be the Mel Gibson of this Patriot movie, then so be it.

Wasn't he assassinated? Those who live by the sword die by the sword. You think it's easy for a military person to retain power through coup? They become paranoid because they are always wondering whether they will be ousted by coup themselves. That's why they become brutal dictators after some time.

Procashtips:
The puppet president was removed with majority of the citizens being in support of the removal because he's said to be a puppet selling out his people to his slave master - France and the west.

He was said to be a stoopee doing the biddings of France to the detriment of his fellow country men.

These are some of the reasons his defence officials removed him.

They said, They said, They said. Give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.

Well, for his people to be rejoicing that means he is not a good leader and probably corrupt and the people have been living in poverty..

But the defence officers are hiding under the West as excuse to sieze power. We know how military rule turns out. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. They even turn out worse than the Person they removed.

Now the military has removed him. What is their next plan. To rule or to conduct elections and hand over to another democratically elected president?

Now they are allying with Russia. They think when Russia gains ground there they won't also start giving 'instructions'. Na dem sabi.

Procashtips:
Why should a sovereign country be taking instructions from another country before deciding to fight insurgents within her border?

Are you reading what you're typing at all?

It's like Nigeria waiting for the UK to give us a go ahead before fighting boko haram.

So any source not aligned with the western media is automatically 'anti-west'?

We cut power, like we were giving them for free before?

Some of you Nigerians eh.

A coup has taken place in an ECOWAS country and a democratically elected president has been overthrown and is being held in confinement. Whether they were paying for electricity does not matter. ECOWAS and Nigeria cannot just seat and fold their hands.

You said i should not listen to western media but other sources. Which other sources? Al-Jazeera or Russian media? Are they the ones that will say the truth??

You say they took instructions from France. Where is your source? Probably from non-western media.

Where they instructions or advice?

Whatever the case, a poor nation bedeviled by insurgents would reach out to their strongest ally, in this case their colonial master.

If this military ruler allies with Russia he will still take instructions from Putin. Who pays the piper dictates the tune.

Make una dey there dey romanticize Military rule like say na Angel Michael dey head the military.

Gbogbowa:
the type of freedom you have in Nigeria you can't have it in the Russian and china and you are celebrating this useless country.what impact did China and Russian making in our economy compare to the Usa .I pity African s

I tire o! When people have too much freedom slavery begins to entice them. Imagine some Nigerians praying for Military to take over in Nigeria. I laugh.

blackgold2018:
be calm. Africa is already in self destruct

I just burst out laughing where i was. Na wa for you o!

SonofGod231:
Getting close to WW3.... It's brewing, Call of Duty modern warfare. After the US spent trillions of dollars in Aids for this moorons they all went ahead to pin down Russian flags in solidarity. Never trust the average black man especially Nigerians.

Dem don embezzle all the foreign loans and grants. They are looking for country wey go pump fresh funds for them to embezzle.

007Marvel:
Sorry if this might seem offensive but how old are you exactly?? to think any of those Nation give a damn about Africa or any other country. China is literally the definition of communism, if you know what communism means! It's an authoritarian and Totalitarian state and you think they care about some black race who they deny access to certain things and places in China! Y'all will cheer whoever gives you any sort of temporal reprieve.

I tire for the way Nigerians reason o! Go to Instagram and see comments from Nigerians supporting the coup, asking why Tinubu is concerned with Niger problems. Common sense is no longer common o! Be like say people no study history for school.

Democracy is not perfect o but it's the best for now.

Communism no be better style of Govt and Military rule is worse.

African leaders should deal with Putin and China using long spoon.

People get short memories and dem no dey study history.

oakenfold:
They can. And they will. They are ready to take their turn at pillaging Africa. Our leaders are idiots, like they have always been

Russia are not acting from the goodness of their hearts. This Putin that left to him sef he wants the USSR back and he needs to overcome the west to attain his goals. Person wey fit invade his neighbour just like that and people expect Ukraine to apologize or beg for mercy.

I pray US keeps on funding Ukraine. There are wars that must be fought even though you will lose at the end of the day.

Person no fit come your house come slap you make you dey look.

Earlystar698:
West any time any day , twice on Thursday and Friday! Africans are safer in hands of the West than Russia

Your head dey there. West is better. Russia just dey act like saint cos dem wan penetrate..

Procashtips:
Sit down there.

What's aligning?

Let military intervention happen and see how crime is going to increase in Nigeria.

Do you know that the ousted president was taking instructions from France on the fight against insurgency?

You need to get information from other sources outside the western media to truly know what's going on.

Information from which other sources? Anti western media perhaps?

And what's wrong with taking instructions from France on insurgency. I believe he was taking advice. Who else will he get advice from?

And no body wants military intervention but sanctions and other measures like this cutting off of power supply..

Between the West and Russia i will always pick the West. I don't like some of the policies of the western powers and in the past they colonized African countries and exploited their resources but i will always pick them over Russia and China. Always.

I believe in democracy and not dictatorship. Russia will always applaud countries like Mali, Burkinafaso and now Niger. We know how military rule always ends up.

This Burkina Faso president that is acting like a freedom fighter liberating his people from Western captivity, just give him a few years. Lmao. They have made THE WEST their excuse for seizing power. African leaders will embezzle the country resources and go to Economic summits and be blaming THE WEST.

THE WEST, THE WEST, THE WEST.

Before you know it, opposition are silenced, media are silenced, internet is shut down while corruption continues.

Does a military man know what leadership, dialogue and negotiation is? I pity the people of Niger jubilating now. From frying pan to fire.

Hi guys,

So I recently got a job in a big 4 firm. Apparently I’m in tax and I am absolutely not finding it enjoyable.

I’m sad about this because I want to do audit.

I’m only sticking it through, it appears I cannot move in my firm because I just joined and going to a year.

I do want to leave to another big 4 firm to audit as I don’t mind starting over but then I do not know the process of doing this to make this move.

How do I cope with something I absolutely do not find joy in.

Advise…..

Until there is opening in another big 4 for Audit stick with your present company na. And there might be an internal opening for an Audit person in your company later.

Your question sef get as e be. Na only people who don chop belleful dey ask this Kain question.

Promises upon promises. How come one single refinery is not working after several renovations and repairs? Is this nation under a spell? So we now have to rely on Dangote to save us. No be Monopoly be this?

Judolisco:
Seriously I don't know our problem in Africa... Dis current Senegal president struggled in 2012 before he became president, the incumbent president then changed d Constitution to allow him contest for the third term... Dis guy defeated him and d president stepped down peacefully and returned to his farm.... I think d current Senegal president is suffering from short term memory loss, because if not, he should know better and learn from his predecessor that left a hero... What's d joy in allowing your country burn?
You've been ruling since 2012, is dat not enough

African leaders are selfish . They masquerade as freedom fighters just to get into power only to hold unto power till death or forced out.

Babinski:
The supply of power to Niger by Nigeria is not an act of benevolence but rather a wise move to avoid a situation in which Niger puts one or two Hydro-Electric dam across the River Niger as it flows through their country before entering into Nigeria. Such dam by Niger will affect the utility of the Niger River for our own Hydro-Electric power plans.

If Niger has the backing of Russia and somehow survives anything we through at them now, when they dam the Nigeria River in Niamey or elsewhere it will not be a pleasant experience for us at all. Nigeria needs to approach this matter with caution and wisdom. Whatever battles you fight, try to project or envision the various possible end results before you go and commit yourself.

Russia at the moment wants to be on the good side of Africa. They have been trying to woo African nations. Before they move against Nigeria, the Giant of Africa for a country like Niger they will weigh the pros and cons. It's not easy to chook your head for wetin no concern you.

Procashtips:
Foolish leaders
Puppets everywhere

So who are they trying to punish? The military or the people of Niger?


Foolish slaves of their western masters.

This is a right decision. No one is a puppet to any west. In this matter Tinubu and ECOWAS point of view just happens to align with that of West. No to Military rule.

Curse777:




As a Military Colonel or General, If you want to rule, simply resign join Politics and contest

You can't bully people to lead them as dictator.. that is long gone and unacceptable


* To the people confused on why we provide electricity to neighboring countries*

Nigeria Generates its electricity through Dams , we Dam rivers like Niger and Benue that flows in from other countries

For the water flow to have enough force to turn our turbine in places like Kanji we needed to stop other countries from building their own dam with the river

General Abacha had to sign an agreement with the neighbors, that we provide electricity and they pay but they are not going to Dam the river

* Why is it our Business ?!

Hillary Clinton, Obama and Gaddafi started a war in Libya...

Illicit arms from Europe got into Libya

Boko Haram began buying cheap illicit arms

The insurgency has lasted for over 10 years

how many years would Niger Crisis and it's insurgency last if we don't act now?!

Can we handle Niger IDP and refugee flowing in to Nigeria

.

I didn't vote for Tinubu but i know the danger of military rule. Civilian rule no matter how bad is always better.

I support Tinubu and ECOWAS decisions on this matter 100%. No to Military rule. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. As long as no be Angel Michael dey head the Military coup it's a no for me. Human beings are the same. The military itself will be corrupt and the 'Bloody Civilians' won't be able to even complain.

Scammer! Try another format. Ole!

Just seeing the line about the house rent. This one no be even be better scammer. The story no jell.

"Reconnected with him years later after graduation, to my greatest surprise, he didn't graduate, wasted all his resources and couldn't travel out. We still love each other, so we got married".

Madam are you sure you are ok. You married someone who wasted his resources and didn't graduate. Na jazz??

"after the birth of my first child, I wanted to leave him, but I couldn't because he was a good man,"

You wanted to leave because of the issue but didn't and instead decided to drop another baby.

"Three years ago, he became much better. He got a small job, Started bringing in little for upkeep. I saw change and I was happy. We had our second child last year after 8yrs.
Since early this year, the whole thing came up again".

What is the mental issue exactly??!
