It's nice to raise your concern.
But printing more money will lead to inflation.

The money won't be used to pay salaries na...

But even USA and other developed coutries tried it and it worked...

I remember one article by BAT on this same issue.
The point is our economy is going down and I just feel we need urgent steps else......

I just want to know if it is right for our Central bank to print more monies in order to heal our wounded economy..


We are deficit infrastructural. I think it won't be a bad idea if there is a special fund created by CBN to build roads,improve power, improve health care, and create more industries..

I heard most countries at some point in time had to resort to this....

Seasoned economics in the House, I need your contributions..

Some powerful forces really. Want Nigeria to split...

On a personal note, I see the bokoharam menace as a smoke screen..

Their major interest lies elsewhere..

Before you know it, there will be agitations here and there and the Nigerian Government may not be able to contain them because they have weakened our forces..

We must thread with utmost caution..

Am sorry about my initial heading... I was thinking it will go the other way ....

But the PDP senators staged a walk out.

Thus paved way for his confirmation

Following the screening/confirmation of our dear minister, former Gov. Rotimi Amaechi a strong chieftain of the APC scaled through with the confirmation process as a minister in waiting...

More details shortly...

The end of bokoharam is near....

Hmm

Hmm

Well, for the respect I have for the elder states man and also my good upbringing, I won't join issues with him...

But we all know that in yoruba land, elders don't lie.. No matter what.


So I choose to maintain the statusquo..

Prof Yakubu; your head is there...


Wish you well..

Obiano.....

Am proud of you.


We are proud to be asociated with you...

God bless Nigeria...

I watched the nominee from Kogi State by name Prof Mrs ANTHONIA OKOOSI.

On a personal note, am not impressed with her flow and carriage...

Not a good reflection of a Pofessor of political science.

But I took solace in the presentation of the INEC Chairman designate prof Mahmood Yakubu...

He came in well prepared and dazed all the senators with his mastery of English language and well thought out solution on problems facing electioneering in our dear country Nigeria..

I dove my hat for you sir.


What do you think?......

We need to reduce the cost of governance..


He would have travelled by road na....

Its game over for MTN..

Moderators!

Its too early to be sleeping on duty..

Seun take note...

MTN!

We have come of age..

Thanks for ripping us off..

We now have our senses...

Enough is enough..

Let us all begin to GLO with pride..

Hmm

It is well even in the well...

I see

God bless the president of our great country Nigeria...

God bless Nigeria.....

lol

The Equator is the most famous imaginary thing on the planet!

The equator is nothing but an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the northern and southern hemisphere. It is equal distance from the North Pole and the South Pole and is one of the most notable lines of latitude….but still – imaginary. Here are some things you may not know...

It’s not always hot.
Temperatures at the equator are very high but there is one single point on the equator where you’ll find snow. The highest point on the equator is 4,690m, on the south slopes of Volcán Cayambe in Ecuador, so in theory, you could go skiing on the equator. (Please let me in on your plans if you decide to go)

You’re more likely to get sick on the equator.
According to journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) if you live at or near the equator, you are at higher risk of getting asthma and other breathing related allergies. The study states that people living near the equator have a high risk of ultraviolet –B exposure from sun rays .This exposure can effect their immune system making them prone to allergies. 

Only 20% of population live below the equator.
There are more countries in northern hemisphere than southern hemisphere which gives the area north of the euqator a head start in human count. But what really gives the north and edge over south are the highly populated countries like china, India, and USA which all lie in northern hemisphere. Only 2 out of top ten populated countries (Brazil and Indonesia) lie in south, and not the whole country is below the line.

The daytime is equal to the night time.
The day is consistently 12 hours. You won’t have a longest day or shortest day of the year; you’ll have consistent day light and sunlight all year!

FINALLY,

You weigh less!
The Earth bulges outward at the Equator because of the planet's rotation and its tendency to stay in a straight line while moving. This creates a gravitational field that is uneven, with more pull on the poles than in the middle. It is due to this bulge that a person standing at the Equator is further from the majority of Earth's mass than a person standing at either of the poles. But don't get your hopes up too much - the weight difference is only 0.5%! (less than a pound for anyone weighing less than 200 pounds)

Let's get it on

Just got a call now. Please the moderators should confirm.

The National Assembly Election Tribunal sitting in Enugu State has sacked Senator Gilbert Nnaji representing Enugu East District.

The judgement was given in favour of former Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani, who contested on the platform of the People for Democratic Change, PDC, against Nnaji of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The Panel held that the conduct of the election did not comply with the 2010 Electoral Act.

DAILY POST reports that thousands of supporters have taken over Enugu streets in celebration of the judgement.

Details later…
