Failed Nation. This is what happens when u have people that are not supposed to be 50,000 radius close to governance,become the leaders of a nation. Sometimes I wonder if these leaders are normal. Despite the harsh economic conditions the country is observing. This kind of advice is what they are coming up with. To my Christian bredrens, pls read and understand ur holy Bible as well as true history. The current occupiers of the land of Israel are impostors and fake Jews that has no singular lineage to Judea or Jacob. They are khazarian's from Eastern Europe with ancestry leading them to Babylon. The current Israel is a grand conspiracy. Stop funding their economy with ur pilgrimage visits

The reason why Jonathan will continue walking free is because people like you. So much sentiment is embedded in you. Jonathan should be held responsible for want his ministers did while he was in office, we did voted for him and not his ministers.
Why do you bring in PMB? Is it against our constitution for the president to be sick and be flown abroad? Is that not why they have a vice in case of situations like this? If your dad is temporary ill, will you advise him to resign from his place of work on account of his sickness? I believe you should be educated, why are you bringing in this diversionary technique because Jonathan is being called upon to come and face his ineptitude while in office? So much sentiment embedded in little minds.
I'm pro Nigeria, if anybody is found wanting, he/she should be brought to justice.

Do you think if the descendants of Esau want to reconcile with the Jews , that the reconciliation won't occur.?


So wake up from your dream and realize that Igbos are somehow connected with the Jews.
it guys should educate and enlighten yourselves with hidden history. All black Africans are the true descenders of Israel. The current occupiers of the land of Israel claiming to be Jews are impostors. The all do not have the direct lineage of Jacob. They are descenders of azkerhnazi who was the son of Japheth,one of the son's of Noah. Remember that the true Israelites are of Shem not Japheth. The current occupiers of Israel are Jewish converts from the khazarian kingdom of ancient Europe that encompasses Germany,poland,austria and Russian area. There is a grand conspiracy and propaganda going on in the world today to keep the black man perpetually down. It pains me that the church of Christ has completely been engulfed by this grand conspiracy ignorant pastors.

don't be naive Mr. There are two types of investing. passive and active investing. There are different types of asset classes to invest in. Two major factor that determines any investor interest. 1. Investor risk appetite which also determines the expected returns. 2. Investor psychology to hold up an asset for as long as he or she desires before reaping returns. So while a passive investor with very low risk appetite will want to invest in real estate with long maturity and reward period. An active investor will invest in higher risk,high reward investment with a short duration. So instead of bashing the op,put the information you have so we can all benefit from it.
InvestmentRe: These Are The 3 Safest Investments In Nigeria Today. by seniwellsFX: 9:33am On Jun 30, 2017
One of the major characteristics of fixed income assets like bonds and t-bills is credit ratings. The safety of a fixed income investment depends on how high it's credit rating is. So unlike you said,bonds and t-bills issuer's can default in their payouts. Secondly,all bonds and t-bills are taxable.except municipal bonds issued by local government's which we do not have here in Nigeria

I don't think extra pumping of dollar into FX would bring the naira below 360 bar that cbn had set before. The 360 bar has to be removed to allow naira move towards the CBN rate.
in as much as the employed monetary policy is not affecting the real sector,they are only wasting their time as well as our little reserve and whatever we have in the form of FX. Money supply is to bring about economic growth by making fx go round so existing firms can grow and new firms will emerge thereby creating a positive rise in the various macro economic indices that affect the economy of any nation.

I am a retail online forex trader,trading the international spot FX market. But this central bank FX injection policy is confusing I must say. Now,there is a form of monetary policy called quantitative easing which is a form of money supply so as to provide FX liquidity to the market. This policy was used by the Fed(American Central Bank) during the 2008 financial crisis and currently employed by the ECB(European Central Bank). This monetary policy is implemented not just to boost fx liquidity but to spur real economic growth by making fx available for businesses of all size as well as domestic fx users with strict supervision from the Central on how the commercial banks issue these funds. Mind you, the policy action has a forecasted time limit. My problem with the CBN is that they seem not to have the capacity to monitor how the retail Banks disburse these funds. They keep propping up fx liquidity,yet it hasn't been really felt by the real economic sector. Fx market is majorly operated by interbank transactions,were banks buy and sell fx with each other and only profit from spreads and later make the same fx available for retail clients. But with my observation,it seems commercial Banks are no longer interested in interbank dealings anymore.rather they wait patiently for when the CBN will inject fx liquidity into the market,buy these fx,hoard them and sell few on higher rates to retail users there by creating artificial scarcity and wait for CBN again. So they end up making excessive profit both from spreads with CBN and retail users. If this system continues,the CBN may never stop providing liquidity. Mind you,the oil market is heavily saturated with supply and prices are falling already with analyst looking at oil prices below $40 in the nearest future,which will further hit our foreign earnings. And our slow poke legislatives because of greed and corruption benchmarked crude prices at $42 /barrel. Oil closed at $43.15 as at the close of trading yesterday. Govt just signed the budget.implimentation is yet to commence and oil price is already at the budget benchmarked price. I guess they have started praying for oil prices to spike,because that is what they are good at.Economic trouble is surely coming.

Dangote has successfully monopolised the entire Nigerian economy as well as the stock market. For a single listed company to have a market share that equates to 1/3 of the entire market capitalization in an emerging market bourse,then you know there is trouble. Prices in Such stock market can easily be manipulated. Anyway,congrats to him. But as u may know,share prices rise and fall due to various macro economic and market sentiment forces. So as a market insider myself,i do not value the wealth of a business owner based on hot paper money.but rather on actualized profits at the end of each financial year.

By kelvin Amurun.
The Nigerian civil war from 6 July 1967 to 1 January 1970 was fought to counter the secession of Biafra from Nigeria. Biafra was a nationalistic aspiration of the Eastern Igbo people at that time and it was borne from the fact that they could no longer coexist with the Northern dominated federal government.
The Nigerian Civil war otherwise known as the Biafra war attracted international attention due to the brutal events of that period. How the conflict was interpreted by foreigners and Nigerians cannot be over emphasised.
The conflict took a toll of human lives. The Igbo tragedy was largely perpetrated in Northern Nigeria, however there was a forgotten tragedy that most international and national observers over looked. The forgotten Biafra ethnic minorities- Efik, Ogoja, Ibibio etc and the Mid West (Urhobo, Edo, Itsekiris, Isoko, Asaba) experience during the Biafra invasion and the Federal Government occupation.
Each time I get into debate with my Igbo brothers and the issue of marginalisation, distrust and ethnic cleansing is shown to my face in a one dimensional sense, I have often reacted with the question….Is warfare one-sided? And who is marginalising who in Nigeria?
The slaughter, rape and torture of the people of the mid west have not been fully blown out in the open until now. Many present day Mid Westerners of my generation have no clue on what actually transpired in a Biafra occupied Mid Western region and what transpired among the Biafra minorities in the East.
This write up is not to point a blaming finger at anyone but is meant to catalyse the objectivity of the individuals from the various regions of Nigeria to sense aright the issue of marginalisation and also to show the reader that the sins of warfare and conflicts is not one-sided. This write up will have to kill the delusion and one sided bias of that question…..WHO IS MARGINALISING WHO and what really happened to the Southern minorities during the war.
In Omakas book titled The Forgotten Victims: Ethnic Minorities in Nigeria Biafra War, 1967-1970, he said: The gory experiences suffered by the Biafra minorities have largely been neglected in the historiography of the Biafra war.
This write up will also assert that the atrocities perpetuated by Biafra soldiers on Biafra minorities during those early and late months of the war has largely been hidden from the public debate hence they should be accorded due recognition of victim hood.
Following the massacre of the Igbo people living up North, the Federal Government responded to the Igbo secession with “police action” that was partially military. I will not go into the reason for these atrocities. That is not the purpose of this write up.
However it must be pointed out that blame for atrocities must not be one sided. The Igbo people had a right to defend themselves and the UN recognition against genocide gives a people the right to secede. This is not debatable.
Wikipedia states that the Geneva Conventions comprise four treaties, and three additional protocols, that establish the standards of international law for the humanitarian treatment of war. This convention is binding to all warring parties.
The dominating argument of the Nigeria Biafra War is that the Igbo were targeted for extermination by the Muslim North. International media played a significant role in exposing humanitarian tragedies especially in Igbo speaking parts of Biafra. However not much was reported on the atrocities perpetuated against minorities in Biafra both by the Nigerian military forces and Biafra militias.
A Newsweek magazine once report that some of the worst massacres of the war occurred when the federal troops captured minority regions whereupon minority tribesmen turned on the Ibos in blood fury. The quote presents Igbo as victims in the hands of minorities without referencing the experience the minorities suffered in the Igbo dominated region before the arrival of the federal troops. There was another report stating that Ibos were killed by the local people in their thousands in the Mid West on arrival of federal troops. No one seems to ask the question…..why was this the case?
It is not denying the fact that Igbo were massacred during the civil war, however there is an error in the representation of the victims of the massacre.
The number one question is: Attributing the 1966 massacre in the North as only Igbos is an error of judgement. In the G C M Onyiuke led tribunal, it was clearly shown that ethnic minority groups in Eastern and Mid Western Nigeria were victims. It was easy to mistake an ethnic minority for Igbo apart from mere physical appearance there was no other distinct feature to differentiate Igbo from non Igbo. You cannot tell unlike the Yoruba or Hausa facial marks. Ethnic minorities were also killed.
While the Igbos retreated back to the East to form a defence line and secede, no one seems to ask the question if the Biafra ethnic minorities (present day Cross River, Akwa Ibom etc) were actually consulted on the need to secede and if they agreed.
The argument that the war was only Hausa Fulani and Igbo is purely too simplistic.
In the early days of Nigeria, the domination of the three major ethnic groups of Yoruba, Hausa Fulani and Igbo in the political atmosphere of Nigeria was obvious. The leaders of the ethnic minority ethnic groups had found themselves in a disadvantaged position in the entire federal political equation. As a result of this, minority leaders in different regions began to form movements that started the agitation for the creation of more states were their interest will be largely protected. Some of this movement included the Calaber Ogoja River (COR) state, Mid West State movement and Middle Belt State movement. This movement agitated for minority rights in the larger state.
The leaders of the state creation movement believed that the formation of their states will eliminate the domination of the major ethnic groups.
In Chinua Achebes book titled There was a Country, he had this to say on the Niger Delta Region page 47: …”The minorities of the Niger Delta, Mid West and the Middle Belt were always uncomfortable with the notion that they had to fit into the tripod of the largest ethnic groups that was Nigeria…….many of them Ijaw, Kanuri, Ibibio, Tiv, Itsekiri, Isang, Urhobo, Anang and Efik were from ancient nation states in their own right. Their leaders however, often had to subsume their own ethnic ambitions within alliances with one of the big three groups in order to attain greater political results.
And so during the civil war this minority groups were faced with a great dilemma.
THE CONFLICT AND WAR CRIMES.
Revelations about the war atrocities on the minorities have emerged recently. New surviving records, physical evidences and oral histories of the war suggest that minorities in Biafra and mid west became individual and collective victims of the war.
The Biafra minorities did not have a say in the succession. A prolific journalist named Suzanne Cronje on the Biafra war stated that the feelings of the minorities were difficult to define. Loyalties were in fact divided. The cry out for a separate state by the minorities was not a clamour to secede.
When the war broke out, Biafra had stationed some of its troops in the Cross River region including Ikun in Biase Local Government. Though the Ikun initially supported Biafra and had friendly relations with the soldiers, as time went on tensions emerged. Some Ikun men were suspected of collaborating with Nigerian soldiers with no hard evidence. As a result murder, arrests, looting and rapes was meted on that community. William Norris of the London Times who visited Biafra reported an eye witness account of how Ibibio men were surrounded and beaten to death in Umuahia on April 2 1968. They were reportedly forced to march across an open space while the local people attacked them with sticks and clubs.
On another episode, Biafra soldiers took Ikun men to Ohafia for a meeting but never came back with them. An informant alleged that soldiers returned to the community and rounded up some men within their reach and shot them. A survivor who lost her four day old son and grandmother seemed to have suspected foul play from the Ohafia people with whom they share a common boundary.
This victimization continued until the Biafra headquarters issued a statement to stop the genocide. However by this time, the remaining people had escaped leaving behind only soldiers and Ohafia, also some Ikun with a mixed blood of half Ohafia.
B J Ikpeme a Senior Medical Officer in the then Eastern region revealed atrocities perpetuated by Biafra soldiers against the minorities in towns of present day Cross River and Akwa Ibom States.
Ikpemes argument was that Ojukwu`s declaration of Biafra was done against the wishes of the majority of Calaber, Ogoja and Rivers provinces who for many years had agitated for a separate state and not a secession from Nigeria. They were never consulted and Ikpeme also argued that the Igbo leadership had concluded plans of either to force the five million non Igbo speaking Biafra minorities to accept Biafra or eliminate them out rightly. It was on this basis that soldiers were quickly sent to the minority areas to keep down the people, detain or kill anyone who raises an opposing voice against Biafra.
In Asang town alone about 400 people were carried away to unknown destinations and never came back. Attan Onoyon town suffered the same fate. Enyong was burnt down and many people killed by Biafra soldiers. Biafra soldiers shot many villagers in Ekpenyong, present day Akwa Ibom. On October 18 1967, about 169 civilians in detention were lined up by Biafra soldiers and shot (source: New York Times as an informational advertisement by the Consulate General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria New York).
There was a special operations group within the Biafra forces called Biafra Organisation of Freedom Fighter (BOFF). It was set up in Bende. The objective of the special operations was to suppress the enemy within.
On the disappearance of a Major Archibong, investigations revealed that members of the special operations decapitated their victims for ritual purposes. Head hunting in warfare was a cultural practice in some parts of Biafra known as old Bende.
The minorities in Rivers area seemed worse off. Apart from torture and other forms of human rights abuses, they were also evicted from their homes and Igbo names were allocated to streets. Some Kalabari young men were evicted and sent to Umuahia, Owerri, Abiriba and Ozuitem most likely to avoid infiltration of the enemies. Chief Samuel Mbakwe a Biafra Provincial Administrator of the Okigwe Province had noted the influx of refugees from Port Harcourt.
An Irish priest who served in Rivers State reported that the Igbo soldiers were suspicious of some Rivers people who sometimes led federal troops through their lines along hidden creeks. This attitude, according to the priest, created a mixture of panic, fear, and hatred among the Biafra troops towards some indigenous people of Rivers State. People who were maltreated were said to have been involved in this act of “sabotage” against Biafra.
It is asserted that no fewer than six thousand Rivers people were sent to different refugee camps in Igboland.
The truth must be told. This ppl hide this from the war history. Time has come to tell the world their atrocities.. If it sure for you and you have strong back up, discredit this.
correct story. The truth is that,the people of the Niger Delta would have suffered the same way we are suffering under the current set up in Nigeria,if not more if we were under Biafra as at then. My dad usually Tell's me stories of how Biafra soldiers were systematically killed while ferrying them across the creeks in bayelsa. This was due to the atrocities committed by the Biafran soldiers. They forced most of the minority people into changing their names and even some of their cultures. I grew up to see my aunties and even uncles bearing Igbo names like ene,ngozi,emelike and others.and I asked,how come an ijaw woman or man is bearing Igbo name. My parents told me it was so just to avoid tuture and to some extent murder from the Biafran soldiers. Biafrans then saw the minority regions of the Niger Delta as a conquered region. just as the current Nigeria is seeing the region.am not against Biafra,neither am I against secession. In fact as an ijaw man,i want the current Nigeria to either be restructured or disintegrate into several nations. So everyone can be on its own. Igbos are claiming the Niger Delta to be part of biafraland without the consent of the people of the region.the same mistake they did in 1967. Ask yourself why the people of Niger Delta are so quiet to the issue of Biafra? It's for a reason for which I know lots of people understand.

Well he finally got it..
shata wale did a song "wine ur waist" with David five years ago.precisely 2012.which turned out to be a banger. That is my favorite davido's artistry ever on that track. So bro,he hasn't been dying to hug davido's. They have been friends for a long time. Mind you,shata wale is a big shot in the Ghanaian music industry.

Davido's attitude shows how useless and irresponsible he is. He behaves like an alien without roots. Do u know the number of women the likes of skales,teckno,olamide,rekado banks,korede Bello and other young stars bleep every now and then. But u will never see them in news or with pictures of such ladies like this idiot is doing. Shame on his family.

Don't make comments because u are a die hard fan of any particular football club,but as a true lover of football.

IhateAfonjas:

West Ham ??

This is why you don't start playing for big clubs when you're just 20 years old

Ronaldo began with Lisbon

James Rodriguez : Fc porto

Neymar : Santos
Messi : even though he graduated from Barcelona academy, they left him on the bench at the senior team

Pogba : left united to go start from Juventus which is a small club

Zlatan : Ajax

Van dar sar : Ajax
bro,u were making sense on till u mistakenly or foolishly made the statement of juventus being a small club. Shows u started watching football few years ago. Pls can u tell us in ur own understanding what it takes to be a small club or a big one? I won't be surprised if you are among the indomi hungry man size generation... lolzzzz...no offense..
