Foreign AffairsRe: Afghan President Ghani Flees The Country Following Taliban Take-Over (Photos) by staaari: 4:29pm On Aug 15, 2021
This is an agreement between USA and Taliban.

The USA is broke, they can't sustain the war or rebuild the country since the tribes are loyal to Taliban.

Option left is pretend to withdraw and allow Taliban take over. Looks better than USA handover power to Taliban directly.

The USSR also had to withdraw from Afghanistan in the 80s.

Basically, USA mis calculated. There was no Afghan among the 911 hijackers. It was a stupid and senseless attack on Afghans becos of Osama.
BusinessRe: FIRS Clarifies Directive On Self Certification Forms For Bank Account Holders. by staaari: 6:26pm On Sep 18, 2020
A very useless government and confused FIRS.

CRS reporting is only for accounts where yearly balance has reached $250,000.00

Anything below is not reportable.

And it will be mostly for Non-Nigerian Account Holders in Nigerian bank,.

The goal is that Nigerian will now inform these foreigners country how much they have in our banks.

The questions we should ask FIRS is where is the CRS report of Nigerians having foreign account with balance above $250,000.00 sent to Nigeria.?

PoliticsCourt Of Appeal Upholds Oshiomhole’s Suspension As APC Chairman by staaari(op): 11:53pm On Jun 16, 2020
The Court of Appeal has upheld the suspension of Adams Oshiomhole as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

A three-member panel of the appeal court affirmed the suspension on Tuesday in Abuja.

In a judgment delivered by Justice Mohammed Lamido, the panel dismissed Mr Oshiomhole’s appeal for lacking in merit.

The panel accordingly affirmed the decision of an Abuja high court which had in early March ordered the suspension of Mr Oshiomhole as APC national chairman.

Very counter-productive tax policy.

Rather we should encourage these digital border less companies to come Nigeria by having tax-free digital policy.

Anyway, if you want to by-pass this tax, we can register your Netflix payment, google advert payment for you abroad.

Nigerians should be careful.

Otherwise, we should have Mexico and South Africa on the list

The idea of co-operation among major Muslim developing countries was mooted by Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, the then Prime Minister of Turkey, during a Seminar on "Cooperation in Development" which was held in Istanbul in October 1996. The group envisioned co-operation among countries stretching from South East Asia to Africa.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria To Borrow N510 Billion Via Bond Sale In Q1 2020 by staaari: 11:40pm On Jan 15, 2020
BreconHills:
Bros you have a good imagination.

Nigeria has never defaulted on a bond payment. It is a first line charge on the federation account. This is the precise reason why it is investment grade. As for the wisdom of Pension funds taking up the bonds. Of course they should. It smooths out the variance in a retirement portfolio that should be close to zero risk YET match inflation. Bonds are excellent for this.

As to how you deduce that they are recycling bonds. I have to laugh. Do you think bond managers cannot see FG revenue against bond payments; capital and coupon? Are the reserves negative? I know we are on a public forum where there a lot of non finance/investment people that can be hoodwinked but fear God. Ponzi scheme indeed.

And there is also a huge retail segment in bonds. Huge. At 14% on average this a solid floor against stock market swings. What's not to like? I am buying for my children
well written.....

Fair enough Nigeria has not defaulted in recent times(don't forget PARIS club in 90s) but are we waiting till dey default?

CBN is bleeding the reserve to defend the naira exchange rate... that alone is not sustainable as our reserve is going down very fast.

14% is high yield bond for investors; the point is that what revenue/investment is Mr. Buhari making that will give naija more than 14% to break even on the coupon and capital repayment that will be due... NONE.

Already about 70% of revenue goes into interest repayment and capital on borrowed funds from both external and internal debts.

That is why Mr. Buhari: increased VAT, created more TAX sources eg... online purchases etc

Nigerians will have their disposable income reduced and cost of things going up more.

And they should pray crude oil price does not fall like 10%... it will be chaos.

BreconHills:
Bros, the loan is naira denominated which means it's basically a stimulus injection into the economy. It will pay local contractors and their employees who will buy local goods. This is the only way you can inject cash without causing inflation. In the past after every FAAC meeting asset prices and fx rates would rise as governors push state money into stocks and housing. ( as well as into the Dubai route) People were shouting - the economy is booming not knowing it was an uneconomic bubble unbacked by any infrastructure or value. Today hate the infrastructure or love it, this money is not going into the stock market or new property estates and it certainly ain't going to Dubai - so what's not to like? We cant keep mistaking the absence of pain for progress.

To those coming out with funny degrees that you know have nothing behind them and to those buying and selling and of course to all those who pack themselves as middle men into value chains, the sun ain't shining no more and long may it last till every single entitled person receives sense.
Your analysis is not correct.

This is local debt(naira) which likely will come from PENSION FUND and other local institutional investors.

Ideally, the government should use the money wisely and be able to generate REVENUE greater than the interest rate they want to pay back in 5yrs, 10yrs & 30yrs.

But we know this money they want to borrow now through BOND is to pay back existing BOND that are already due.

Conclusion:
Mr. Buhari is running a PONZI scheme; which when it will eventually fail, will drag down the pension of Nigerians and the economy into a mess.
BusinessRe: Aliko Dangote Plans U.S. Office To Help Diversify Wealth by staaari: 5:54pm On Jan 09, 2020
Why now is Dangote moving away from naira?

Does he has insider info that CBN about to devalue(or free float it) the naira soon? Time will tell.

Note: CBN will devalue sooner or later since bleeding the reserve to keep naira afloat is not sustainable.

It is a good move though but very delicate one.

US SEC will open book on Dangote and dig deeper to be sure all is CLEAN.

I think its Cheetah

There is no tiger in Nigeria so, Ekun is Leopard smiley
Very interesting. Since we don't have Ekun in Africa, I wonder how our fathers is using this as reference(Amo-Tekun)

I tend to agree by 70% chance that our fathers meant cheetah to be Amotekun and Leopard to be Ekun.

Cheetah and Leopard are so similar except for few differences like speed, color and what time they hunt.

However, more research need to be done to ascertain the truth if Amotekun is really Cheetah or Leopard.

PoliticsRe: ECONOMIC DISASTER!! Nigeria Kicked Out Of Bond Index by staaari: 10:49am On Sep 09, 2015
I would not worry too much on this.

Many have believed that we would see bonds crash before the stock market crashes, and that is precisely what is happening right now. Since mid-April, the yield on 10 year German bonds has shot up from 0.05 percent to 0.89 percent. But much of that jump has come this week. Just a couple of days ago, the yield on 10 year German bonds was sitting at just 0.54 percent. And it isn’t just Germany – bond yields are going crazy all over Europe. So far, it is being estimated that global investors have lostmore than half a trillion dollars, and there is much more room for these bonds to fall. In the end, the overall losses could be well into the trillions even before the stock market collapses.
