StOla:
You are so happy with this news.

You are now motivated to rush out this news like when it was heading towards N2000 in February, but lacked motivation to rush out the news when it was appreciating downwards to N1000?

Just keep quiet and stop the foolishness.

Well said. You have the support of the majority of Nigerians. But please ensure your men follow due process.

Richtaiwo:
At an average conversion rate of N1200/$, that is a whooping N864 million for a child's school fees. Between this Yahaya Bello and Peter Obi, it's actually difficult to figure out who is more criminal than the other.

The comparison should be between you and Bello:who is more criminal?

Odotech:
Yorubas and Igbos already discriminate against each other so why do we find discrimination strange? Is it because it's coming from the Chinese?

So in Nigeria, in your humble opinion, it is only the Yorubas and Igbos that discriminate against each other right?
The other ethnic groups, including yours do not discriminate right?

jumper524:
with pains my dad had to increase his house rent from #150k to #250k.
well I don't regret, most of his tenants are business men who inflate price so in the end the suffering goes round.
just that we are creating more criminals for the unemployed.

So it is ok for you to increase the house rent but not ok for the retailer to increase price (although the retailer may have bought at a higher price from the wholesaler?

You just read it up. Thank you for that at least. But profiteering happens everywhere it's allowed, not necessarily war zones.

You don't know the meaning of profiteering.
Let's leave that aside for now. Things cost money like you keep repeating but then when you do profit gouging all because things cost money, that's ripping hapless people off and it's all shades of wrong.That's too common in poverty stricken places such as Africa. We are just too uncaring. Why do you think Africa is the way it is?

It's not just the stupid leaders, it's you and me as well. My landlady who had a shop in front of the house sold me a congo of rice. It was #500 at the time. I went inside the house to get money for her. I came out in less than 5 minutes. She told me the price was no longer #500 but #600 because someone just told her price of rice had gone up.

That's what the op is telling you people. There's something about Nigerians and morality I don't get. And when you complain they'll tell you to also go and open a shop and start selling stuff too. That's always their last resort like you and another person told the OP.

The reason they are telling you to go open a shop is because they believe that you don't understand the challenges they face daily in the retail business.

Afamed:
That was what your brothers at Ochanja market was telling me just yesterday.
They blame Tinubu just to extort innocent people.
Most of you in your markets are not happy, the $ is coming down.
You all wanted $ to be N4000 , so you can continue to blame Tinubu and continue to extort innocent people.

Na only Una dey pay for custom duties?
What your brother wanted to sell for me N78k is sold in Lagos N55k.
Una to greedy for that side

Quick money syndrome, Una too like am.
The keke from Nsukka to Obolor Afor, I took just around Feb, ran out of fuel.
He needed to buy just a litre along the road before he got to another filling station, which is less than 2 klm.

The road sellers black market were not ready to sell below N1500. For a liter of fuel.
Una to like exploitation for that side

Why don't you seize the opportunity and open a retail shop, undercut the "greedy retailers" by selling much lower and make a killing.

SalamRushdie:
Oga since you and your wife have discovered this business opportunity why don't you open a shop for her in your area where she can be selling things at tradefair price ? I believe una go make a killing 😅

Good suggestion.

Saturnalia:
From what I just read in this write-up, the Crypto Exchange Platforms “BYBIT” and “BITGET” are the cause of the latest depreciation of the Naira.

The solution is very simple.

I expect the FG & the CBN to immediately launch massive offensive against them and begin clamping down on them like they did to Binance.

The FG must understand that there a lot of enemies & saboteurs within and outside the Country, fighting and working assiduously against the interest of Country; some are still bitter for losing a credible election while others are just outright sadists that are averse to prosperity & blessings.

It is known locally and internationally that CRYPTO EXCHANGE PLATFORMS are shady & disreputable schemes that are servicing the interests of Yahoo Boys, Kidnappers, Drug Peddlers, Armed Robbers & corrupt Government officials.

This is the reason CRYPTO EXCHANGE PLATFORMS are being haunted & shut down in almost every Country overseas.

The FG must not allow the comments and opinions of the “unscrupulous elements” in the social media (who are actually the perpetrators & enablers of these schemes) to deter it from taking the necessary actions and doing what is needed to be done to save-guard the integrity of the Naira.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. I repeat, do not be dissuaded by their “Reverse Psychology”. I can already see some of them on this thread saying the Government is chasing shadows.

In fact, if I were the President, I would do what General Sani Abacha and Olusegun Obasanjo would have done.

These cockroaches do not care whether the Country burn or collapse. They are the ones speculating & manipulating our currency with their CRYPTO SCHEMES and at the same time cursing the Government for not doing anything to curb the depreciation of the Naira.

They have even sworn that the NAIRA must trade for 5000 against the DOLLAR before December.

It doesn’t take a rocket science to identify those that are defending these “Economy Wrecking CRYPTO EXCHANGE PLATFORMS” as their enablers and perpetrators.

Google the list of Countries where CRYPTOCURRENCY is restricted or banned, and you will understand the monstrosity of what we’re dealing with.

I do not like Tinubu and did not vote for anybody BUT I AM A PATRIOT AND WANT NIGERIA TO WORK.

Haters are free to masturbate on my mentions. It doesn’t add or remove anything from me.

For your information, the number one haters of Nigeria are your political leaders, including Tinubu, who are extremely corrupt and stealing from the treasury.

KingKO22:
Enemy of progress, we know your motive an intention is to see Nigeria to born down bcs Pandora Obituary lost election

So says Mr Patriotic Nigerian whose patriotism only started in 2015 and will end on expiration of Tinubu's tenure.

Tetrahedron:
Thank God common sense is coming back to Nigeria gradually, now all those from Niger rep, Togo, Benin rep, and Tchad will be caught

Exactly. Buhari and the Miyetti Allah deliberately opened Nigeria up to Fulanis from neighboring countries to swell their number here for political reasons. This would be a good way to screen those foreigners out.

Probably a stupid yes-man Governor or the ex Governor is respecting himself by not interfering.

melodyogonna:
How is it bad? Lmao look at this guy rejecting wetin dem no offer am

The US and France have no interest in fighting insurgency in the region. I suspect that they are actually the sponsors. Their only interest is in the Uranium and crude oil deposit in the region. But the naive ones like you think they mean well.

melodyogonna:
America should open a base in Nigeria

God forbid bad thing.

Botragelad:
Are you ignorant or just against the US? International relations are changing. There's work being done, not perfect mind you, to create fairer partnerships.

Ever come across the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)? It's this initiative to open up the US market to eligible countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. These efforts are meant to boost economic growth and development that's beneficial for both sides. Are you aware of the amount of aid the US and other organisations send to Africa? You lot are still benefiting from free vaccines and such.
Look at Africa now, take Sudan as an example, they're reaping from the West, billions being sent.

As for the US's actions after World War II, the Marshall Plan for Europe and the backing of Israel were smart investments. They were motivated by a mix of humanitarian aid, economic self-interest, and strategic geopolitical factors during the Cold War. The US's dealings with Europe and Israel were shaped by the political climate of the era, including the aim to block the spread of communism and to form strong alliances in crucial areas.

How can you compare it to Africa nations which on the other hand, have been shaped by a completely different set of historical, political factors etc. It's a totally different situation.

The US is not sending any useful aid to Africa. Whatever so called aid they provide is for you to use in buying obsolete American military gadgets.

Gerrard59:
The annoyance of the Nigeriens is that with the US presence, the fight against Islamists hasn't been won. How can French soldiers fight Islamists yet have not defeated the terrorists? I have a Burkinabe friend; from what he told me, they were fed up with everything.

Wow. So you guys think that America and France were there to help fight insurgents. I believe they are the sponsors.

Timoleon:
Make I hear say USA withdraw.

They have no choice.

Honoredeblazac:
This is a terrible news for northern Nigeria. The region will become very unsafe. This is the time Tinubu should request their presence in Nigeria. Give them a place in Yobe or Borno to replace what they had in Niger. It’s a very good opportunity for Nigeria

You are naive if you think that America and France were there to help the countries in the region. I believe they are the ones sponsoring the bandits.

0m0luabi:
Niger should not sleep with their 2 eyes closed because Us will definitely fight back by sponsoring more terrorism on Nigerien soil they should get ready to deal with more ISIS and alqaeda

They ( and France) have been sponsoring terrorists in the region.

Hopefully the departure of the US and France will help end the menace by the Fulani bandits and Boko Haram. I believe that those two countries are financing insurgency in the region. We have heard reports of helicopters dropping off weapons inside the bush.

RichardRexs:
It;s a Federal Case and a Federal High Court also approved his arrest warrant so that State Court order can be overturned. Federal Agencies can't be stopped

Bello must sleep at EFCC office at Jaabi

Nigerians like chasing shadow. Is it about sleeping at the EFCC office or about prosecuting him for the crimes he committed?

Antoeni:
BAD NEWS FOR A NORTHWEST GOVERNOR: A former governor from the North West who presided over his state for 8 years has lost $120m investments in UKRAINE.

This is as a result of the ongoing war between Russia and ukraine.

The governor was reported to have invested heavily in establishing fertiliser plants in Ukraine. His many plants happened to be among those bombed and decimated by Russian war missiles. He decided to go to the unexpected location to avoid the Eagle eyes. But God is Omni present

PROVERBS 19:21

" Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand"

Is it Yahaya Bello?

Yeah right. Jokers.

Zico5:
Kaikai is just too much for people in that place. They are simply looking for money to drink ogogoro and marry more wives. Instead for them to plead for mercy for killing gallant soldiers, they are chasing wildfires. By the time Nigerian soldiers finish with them, there won't be any reasonable men in that village again

You think everyone is a coward?

jmoore:
The army burnt their houses and properties. How will a restraining order amount to compensation?

I wonder too.

Chucks13:
And who is going to pay? Or have you ever in Nigeria history heard such payment ever made?

Bia, you people get sense at all? I doubt it wallahi, you are shouting very good as if any govt have ever paid such money in Nigeria history.

Then the army should charge the community to court and demand N500billion on each of the fallen army and police, simple as that....

Your country will pay.

Asmmi:
😂 see jokers

Them never see anything

You are the Joker.

JASONjnr:
They were supposed to file a court restricting order to stop the army from invading the community.

But because they're greedy, they want money while in exile....

Someone said, the army needed to take diplomatic response to investigate and arrest the culprit, rather than using force.

Because, if an army man kills a civilian, they will ask the family of the slain civilian to give them time to investigate. Why can't they do the same? Rather than attacking whole community.

The Army already invaded, killed people and destroyed properties. I believe it is too late to file for restraining order. It is good that they are asking the Court to hold the Army responsible for their actions.

funsho75:

Wanted doesn't mean they don't know where he is... It's not just everywhere in Nigeria you can pick someone up

Really? So why are they asking Nigerians for information on his whereabouts?

helinues:
Good.

As Bwala know the whereabouts of Bello, EFCC should invite him for some questioning and if he refused to attend the invitation honorary, he should be declared wanted.

So many goats would drink pap for this matter

If you believe that EFCC is not aware of Bello's whereabout then you are probably a kid.

saphiere:
I think it's high time we realize that Nigeria will not get any better if the affairs of this country is not piloted by a woman.

Checkout our women basketball team, football team or is it our great women like Dr Mrs Ngozi and Late Mrs Dora?

I think we should drop pride and senseless ego and allow women to governor this country.

PS: Google the bridge constructed by Desmond Elliot and the one constructed by the female councilor.

Also Google the water project donated by Peter Obi and the one donated by Marvin music star, Ayra Starr

Yes we should allow Nigerian women take charge. They are obviously more responsible than the men. The problem is how the men are ( not) raised. In the average Nigerian household, the boys are left to just sit around or go play all day while the girls are taught about house chores and how to properly take care of themselves. They are even taught how to sit properly. The boys grow up not knowing how to take care of themselves. These guys are the same ones that are supposed to run the country. That is basically why Nigeria is messed up. If you cannot take care of yourself, I don't expect you to be able to take care of others.
However, we don't want the likes of Beta Edu or Mrs Tinubu. These ones are not responsible representatives of the women folks.

AsomStructures:
Dino the clown

You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting a criminal like Bello.
