grandstar:Those criminal black market speculators and FX hoarders won't let your suggestion of increasing interest rates to work. Surveilance and jail time is needed to deal with the menace of greed by the illegal speculators. Refineries too have to work at near-full capacity to export refined products to generate and conserve FX flows. The U.S. Fed did the same thing in early 2022 by increasing interest rates back-to-back to strengthen the USD and curb domestic hyperinflation and it worked [although the stronger USD weakened several global currencies as a result of those U.S. interest rate increases], but Nigeria will experience artificial sabotage unless the CBN gets tough on saboteurs and FX from refined commodities exports are encouraged. |
iwaeda:The Dangote Petrochemical Refinery and other refineries in PH have to urgently start working by November 2023 ending at over 95% capacity in order to conserve FX and strengthen the Naira since refined crude oil derivatives can be exported to also generate FX. More local jobs and businesses would be generated as well to make Nigerian folks happy with reduced hyperinflation. Dangote Refinery will completely breakeven and be in profit in 2 years of operation so the modern refinery business model is highly profitable with Dangote Refinery being a major source of FX for the Central Bank (CBN). Petrochemicals for export and local industrial use would make the Nigerian currency stronger while conserving a whopping 10 billion USD per annum from fuel subsidy removal. |
Omoawoke2:True that. The Jews and Arabs have for centuries used racial slurs on Black Africans. |
Animegirl:She has to be discreet about it and not be all over the place while taking the food pics... That's a major turn-off. |
OLAADEGBU:I would have her fired too if she works for my organisation. Since OF is "filthily" lucrative enough for her to purchase a house, then she doesn't need a corporate job. |
Whatisurproblem:Never date someone (a man or woman) whose immediate family members you dont know! Period. |
Neptunium:Exactly my thoughs. |
[quote author=MANNABBQGRILLSpost=126318979]Brutal deaths to all terrorists disturbing the peace of our darling nation and the world at large. Including Boko Haram, Ipob terrorists and Hamas.....along with their online supporters. Iseeeee Latest updates about the war against terrorists below.... None of God's words in the Holy Book will ever go in vain. Gbam! Like Boko, Like Ipob, Like Hamas... Cutting off a woman's private part while she was still alive breathing and cutting off her fiance's private part 3 days to their wedding before being slaughtered is one of the most brutal things we have seen in Nigeria. Again, Deaths to all terrorists. [/quote]Private parts decapitation... Whew! That was a gory thing to do by Hamas ... That's suicidal behavior. |

Meddymeddy:To put this in better context. There was oil boom in Nigeria back in the 1970s till 1981 which created a false image of grand prosperity. There was also a lot of importation of finished goods from Europe and America being sold at trendy department stores such as the iconic Kingsway Stores, Leventis, UTC, and the local production of some items in the automobile and textile industries. The increase in interest rates by the U.S. to curb domestic hyperinflation and strenghten the USD in the early 1980s led to a destabilisation of the global economy just like what happened in 2022 when the U.S. Feds increased interest rates back-to-back and Sri Lanka and many developing countries defaulted in their debt payments to international finance organizations, leading to a weakening of local currencies and spikes in domestic hyperinflation mass protests by citizens and more. Point is: A lot of economic headwinds affecting many countries globally are caused by localised maladministration and unforseen international economic contagions or global recessions. |
Aonkuuse:Whoa! This criminal was initially on cloud 9, then went into a blaze of flames and water immersion... He's one lucky bastard. |
peekspot:I'm glad she was rescued in the nick of time. I wonder what her original mission to Nigeria was? This would help other women (and men) to avoid getting entangled in such situations. So many questions left unanswered by this report. |
dominique:Indeed. |
dragunov:True. |
benuejosh:Very well said@Benuejosh. The Hamas and their militant allies themselves are not rational but suicidal people for them to have attacked several towns in southern Israel. It is predictable from the recent past that Israel too would strike back with massive deployment of missiles and level Gaza completely this time around. This 3rd intifada by Hamas portrayed Palestinian Arabs in bad light globally for gleefully parading the lifeless naked body of a kidnapped 30-year-old German-Israeli tatooist who only came to Israel on holidays! There were more brulal acts even though they claimed a major reason for their invasion of the southern districts of Israel on October 7, 2023 was to avenge the invasion of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem by Israeli security in April 2023. The Arabs themselves invaded Spain [for over 700 years till they were kicked out from 1494 by the Spaniards and Portuguese in major battles], and Africa [Egypt, Sudan, East African coastlines, etc, and brutally subjugated the indigenous Coptics of Egypt and the Black Africans who owned the entire Sudan where finally defeated in the 15th Century after ferociously resisting Arab invasion for decades]. The vicious Arab invaders sent many Africans into chattel slavery in Africa and the Middle East (in Oman and others) and the Black African women were used as sex slaves thereby fathering light-skinned mixed race children). The indigeous Africans of Egypt, Sudan, Morocco (Berbers) can as well tell the Arabs to LEAVE their ancestral homelands too and go back to the Arabian Peninsula where they originally invaded Africa and Spain from the 7th Century CE. FINAL WIN-WIN SOLUTIONS: What the rest of the Muslim Arab world can do to bring lasting peace is to absorb the Palestinians and grant them permanent citizenship and not be too rigid about kicking the Jews out of the Middle East since the Arabs themselves brutally STOLE and occupied other people's ancestral home lands in different waves since the 7th Century CE. This has been my thinking for many years now to bring lasting peace. The original Arab home land is the Arabian Peninsula (consisting of Saudi Arabia, Yemen, etc). All other countries and lands where you find Arabs were majorly stolen or occupied by them as well, while for centuries forcing others who wished not to convert to Islam among the Coptics in Egypt to pay heavy protection money called Jizyah! The final end game that I can strongly deduce is that some radical elements want to trigger a 3rd World War with those very annoying religious undertones coming from both sides. |

RingRoadMafia:I strongly thought along that line too. Israeli hardliner can go to any extent to trigger a chain of military and geopolitical events to gain revenge. Israel had strong intel on the 9/11 attacks but didn't share it in advance with U.S. intel in 2001. |
gidgiddy:Best of luck to him and his fam in Germany where he is also a citizen. The crack team of French-speaking Beninoise Yorubas and Nigerian Yoruba Obas, lawyers and intellectuals such as the internationalist and Godfather, Prof. 'Wole Soyinka, who all rallied round Chief Sunday "Igboho" Adeyemo must be commended because his cause was just in the face of blatant Fulani rogue bandit killings and attacks on many people in remote areas of Yorubaland. |
[quote author=NLCreator post=126292460][/quote]The Arochukwus and their close slave raiding allies such as the Ohafia, Abams never sold themselves into slavery, but they only sold the Ibo tribes of the primitive interior to the Efiks and Ijaws who were the coastal middlemen in the well-recorded history books and slave ship log books of the Europeans and Americans. It's funny that this fraud and mind manipulator made reference to the Aros and their hypothetical 3000 kith-and-kin coming back from the Caribbean and elsewhere as ex-slave descendants to claim lands in Arochukwu. Lol He wrote that X post to trigger something among the Ibos about their past history with slavery. Only the historically well-informed would know. |
GanagiBitrus:You are wise. |
emkz:Indeed... I like your use of "amplify their needless hate." It shows the kind of people these dudes are... A people who have dark souls. They do not realize that for every cause, there's an effect in the physical. I for one hate following the herd. It is good to always step away from the bigoted mobs who lie blatantly and ask yourself critical questions when confronting critical situations or political quagmires: 1. Is it true? 2. Is it fair? 3. Is it kind? |
ganisucks:Well said! Some Nigerian lawyers are very notorious for making comments about cases that are in court on live TV, and radio. This is subjudice! A BBC reporter once commented about this very unprofessional attitude of these lawyers who speak to the media just right outside the doors of courtrooms some years ago. |
emkz:That dishonest "boy-man" called David Hundeyin was EXPELLED from Oxford University this year for engaging in fraud and more along with his fellow male partner in crime who is also from Nigeria. Yet this is the same dubious person that these morally bankrupt lemmings are leaning on for credible or accurate information. |
emkz:Interesting insights. |
ganisucks: |
BafanaBafana:The post above is a blatant falsehood! Wikipedia has always had Adekunle as part of President Bola Tinubu's FULL names for years now. |
Adaisback:Listen and take note. The story of Moremi of Ile Ife refers to the historical Ugbos of Ife who are PURE Yorubas NOT the Ibos of the area east of River Niger. The Ugbos of Ife history are the same as the Ugbos in the oil and gas-rich Ilaje kingdom of Ondo State. The great Ugbos of the oil and gas-rich Ugbo kingdom in the Yoruba-speaking Ilaje area of Ondo State have since many years back WARNED you the Ibos in a several widely circulated press releases from the Royal Palace of the Olugbo of Ugbo Kingdom, the billionaire oil magnate, Oba Frederick Akinrutan to STOP distorting their ancestral history by calling them Ibos! They are Yorubas in origin whose forebears where instructed by Ifa to migrate from Ile Ife to their current location. There family compounds are still in existence in Ife till today with family members there. The Yoruba word or name "Ugbo" is simply a DIALECTIC variant of the Yoruba word "Igbo" which both mean forest or bush. The Ugbos are NOT Ibos. It is some morally-bankrupt Ibo propagandists and bloggers that falsely twisted the Yoruba word Ugbo to mean Ibo ethnic group when the original Moremi story does NOT suggest so. IMPORTANT NOTE: Lastly, there are major differences below between Yorubas and Ibo showing that both are NOT directly related historically: 1. Yorubas do NOT practice OSU and ohu discriminatory caste systems. 2. Yoruba marriages are very different from that of Ibos. 3. Yorubas have NO history of widely eating human beings for food (or cannibalism) before and after 1900 as reported by the killing and partial eating of a white man called Dr. Stewart in Mbaise in 1906 (with his bicycle tied to a tree to prevent it from escaping), and clearly written by the famous Onitsha-based European missionary, Reverend George T. Basden in his popular book "Among the Ibos of Nigeria." Reverend George Basden wrote in his book [which can be downloaded for free and read in PDF] about the widespread eating of human beings in Ibo areas east of Onitsha, and some of his Ibo Christian converts confessed to him that they had been eating human beings for food. There is a popular Colonial map of Nigeria which clearly shows the entire Ibo South East of Nigeria as a region where the primitive and widespread eating of human beings for food (cannibalism) was shown. Anioma peoples in Delta North, Edos, Itsekiris, Urhobos, Isokos, Yorubas, Efiks, Ibibios, etc, had NO such savage occurences. The map is online and uploaded on Nairaland. 4. The Ibos are snake or python worshippers (e.g, Idemili) and if you kill a python you will pay a heavy fine and bury it like a human being. This is unlike the Yorubas who have NO known history of snake or python worship but are IFA devotees and adherants historically. 5. Yorubas never practiced the killing of twins because twins have for centuries been widely adored by Yorubas just like other children. The Ibos have a history of twins killing or dumping into so-called evil forests before and after the great Scots missionary Mary Slessor arrived Nigeria in the 1800s and helped to stop the sickening and primitive practice. And there are many more differences showing the Yorubas ethnicity are NOT directly related to the localised Ibo sub-tribes otherwise both groups would be sharing a lot of deep cultural histories in common! |
wowcatty:The "Ile Igbo" in Ife has absolutely NOTHING to do with the Ibo ethnicity majorly located in the east of River Niger. Ile Ife simply means "THE LAND IS WIDE" in Yoruba language, emphasizing the size of the land to accomodate all the native inhabitants of Ife. The Igalas (a linguistically Yoruboid group just like the Itsekiris) of Kogi are the ones that have more direct ancestral and genetic connections with Yorubas according to an interview the late Attah of Igala, Michael Ameh Oboni granted to Saturday Punch in 2017, entitled "I am the Only Attah of Igala With One Wife." Indigenous Igalas and Igala bloodlines also exist in Enugu, Delta, and Anambra States. So, this historic ancestral, cultural and linguistic relationship between the Yorubas and Igalas via the Kogi State and River Niger area in the last 700 years is majorly what the Ooni of Ife and other people MUST educate themselves on and emphasize on! Yorubas and Igalas share far more similarity in words than Yorubas do with Ibos. The Igala influences in Anambra and Enugu areas in the last 500 to 600 years is responsible for the introduction and usage of the few clear words of Yoruboid origin such as Ewure (Ewu), Okuta (Okwute), Enu (Onu), Egungun (Egwugwu), Medicine or Ogun (Ogwu), etc, in those areas. It is an open secret that the RED chieftaincy cap is of Igala origin and was first introduced by the Igala people into the Nsukka area from where it was copied or later spread years down the road to other areas in Iboland that had no cultural links with the Igala people. Mostly the Yorubas of Kwara and Kogi States also wear red chieftaincy caps alongside a large number of middlebelt ethnic groups, such as Igalas, Ebiras, Jukuns, Idomas, etc. There was NO split of autochtonous people to create those linguistic similarities and the so-called theory of Niger-Congo linguistic grouping has been discredited with more evidence of how Igala came into existence through a FUSION of people of different ethnic origins from Wukari, Yoruba, and Edoid, etc. Even the late Attah Michael Oboni of Igalaland in that 2017 Saturday Punch interview clearly said IFA divination is consulted before a new Attah is installed on the throne. The same IFA divination is done in all the many Yoruba kingdoms in Nigeria, Benin Republic and Togo before an Oba is chosen for the ancestral throne of his kingdom. "Oboni" has to do with the female vagina or organ in Igala history. In Yoruba language "Obo" means exactly the same. Ogede, omi, Egungun, and more are similar words found in Yoruba and Igala due to a mixing of groups of people who migrated from about 700 years ago from the Jukun Wukari area (Taraba State) who then met and fused with a significant number of Yoruba and Edo people (around the Kogi and River Niger region) to form IGALA according to the factual interview the Attah of Igala, Michael Ameh Oboni granted Saturday Punch in 2017, which can still be read online. The Yorubas share boundaries with Igalas, and Agenebode in Edo State directly faces Idah in Kogi State across the River Niger. The local tribes now called Ibos are actually NOT of the same origin because the cultural history and ancestries of Northern and Southern parts of the Ibo area are very different based on the conversations of Ibos I have read over many years online and offline.
