BusinessRe: FOREX Crisis: Naira Plunges To 1,025/$, Job Losses, Factory Shutdown Loom by Swiftgrp: 10:02am On Oct 11, 2023
grandstar:
The CBN has to increase interest rates to a level it can start slaying inflation. If done, the Naira would become stronger. I won't be surprised if it hits about 800.

However, it's as though Tinubu is worried that any steep rate rise lest it tilts the economy into a recession. This is inescapable.

With a stronger Naira and lower inflation, the positive effect would outweigh the any recession or downturn it brings.

Cheaper prices are like a God send.

The CBN needs to open up to how much is in the foreign reserves. The government has kept mum about it. If the rumor that it has fallen to $4bn is true, the country might have no choice but to approach the IMF
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.

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.

Good day everyone, I need your opinion on this matter.

I've been dating this lady for like 4months now. Anytimee I try to visit her, she will only come to a junction for us to meet. I requested to know where she lives and also for me to know her people, she always decline the request claiming she's staying with someone not her relative, at a point I asked if she's a ghost 👻 which she deny.

The problem now is she suddenly came to my house with a pregnancy test strip, she carried out test in my present and the results came out that she's truly pregnant.

I scheduled for the following day to take her to hospital, she left my house that day and never return, anytime I call her on phone, she will not respond to come and see me, and I don't know where to locate her. I threatened her that if she refused to show up that I won't take responsibility for the pregnancy, she blatantly told me she will keep the pregnancy and take care of it by herself.

I began to worry if this is a baby factory things or she just used me to get pregnant and run or what is her mission?

Venezuela: president says Israel is committing ‘genocide’ against Palestinian people

Venezuela’s President Nicolas Maduro has accused Israel of “genocide” against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Maduro made his comment in a televised address on Monday.

“The Secretary-General of the United Nations issued a statement, which we read carefully, as a warning and alert about the genocide that has begun against the Palestinian people in Gaza,” said the Venezuelan leader. “We have witnessed in the past massacres and brutal atrocities against the Palestinian people.” The current situation, he pointed out, is a “new apartheid system” against Palestinians.

“We demand an immediate ceasefire, respect for UN resolutions, respect for the rights of peoples, and the commencement of peace negotiations to allow the Palestinian people to regain their legitimate rights to independence, land and peace.”

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said earlier in the statement referred to by Maduro that, “While I recognise Israel’s legitimate security concerns, I also remind Israel that military operations must be conducted in strict accordance with international humanitarian law.” He added that he is “deeply distressed” by the announcement that Israel will initiate a complete siege of the Gaza Strip, with nothing allowed in: “No electricity, food or fuel.”

That announcement was made by Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galant. He also described Palestinians as “human animals”, in a blatant effort to dehumanise the people of occupied Palestine living under Israel’s military occupation.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced on Monday evening that the death toll from Israel’s bombardment had risen to 704, including 140 children and 105 women. Almost 4,000 people have been wounded. Israeli media reported that the number of Israeli deaths had reached 900, with 2,616 wounded.

TravelRe: To Those That Have traveled out of Nigeria. by Swiftgrp: 7:39pm On Oct 10, 2023
Meddymeddy:
I have a question I want to ask.

When I was born in Nigeria, I met the economy at a certain stage, and what I observed is that when the economy rises, it never drops. I've heard stories from the past about how the economy was. Going back to the 1960s and 1970s, the standard of living was very low, to the extent that a double salary was paid during the Gowon regime.


Those who have traveled out of Nigeria to countries that have a better economy than Nigeria How does it feel, and how did it impact your life?
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.

Going by historical facts and happening within those territories, you will understand that those guys from Gaza are truly suffering in the hands of Isreal and Egypt.

Lets keep religion aside and be factual. Try to understand the history before you comment.

For anyone who will quote me concerning religion, Christians make up just about 2% of the religion in Israel. Muslims are far more in number as compared to Christian.

There should have been dialogue and peace talk. Now the innocent ones are suffering.

Peace is better than war.

I will NEVER support violence or crisis.
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.

emkz:
At some point, we all have to agree that this is getting ridiculous.

David Hundeyin is a superficial investigator.

He always investigates things half way and let hare-brained people draw foolish conclusions.

For example, he started an investigation that Tinubu did not attend Chigaco State University (CSU). He then said he attended, but it was female. He now said FBI has 70,000 pages of indicting materials on Tinubu.

How come only Hundeyin knows these things?

How come no one else corroborated his conspiracy?

He said Tinubu was a drug lord. Why didn't he carry out an interview with the so-called FBI investigator who investigated Tinubu?

In his Arise News interview with Abati just before the elections, he was questioned that there was a letter from the state department saying Tinubu was never convicted. Hundeyin said it was because the IG did not ask the right questions. That "there must have been some sort of an indictment".

If Hundeyin is the basis of what some of you use to argue, your intelligence has been assaulted. You prove you cannot think for yourself.

Let's go back to the Guinea citizenship matter. As an investigator, why did Hundeyin not tell us when the citizenship was acquired? If many of you accept that Tinubu forged a certificate even when the school has not confirmed same, why do you believe he could not have forged a Guinean passport?

Same Hundeyin boasted he stopped a war!

Haba!!

My submission is that Hundeyin can only thrive in a society where there are idiots. Same way pastors thrive because many people submit their thinking faculty to them!

What is the meaning of CSU investigating how Tinubu did not have a student card? Is this the next exciting thing we should follow?

While you are sheepishly following Hundeyin, remember he supported Peter Obi and his views are already not objective.

I support Tinubu, and my views are not objective either. Draw what you may from my submission, but never allow anyone think for you.
That dishonest "boy-man" called

CultureRe: Igbos Migrated From Ile-Ife - Ooni Of Ife by Swiftgrp:
Adaisback:
Too much ikpu is bad for your health. This Oba is high on ikpu water. Imagine nkogheri! This Oba should go back and read the story of Moremi very well and how she saved Ile ife from the Igbos. Igbo is the oldest tribe in Nigeria and one of the oldest in the world. Oba hie Isaa na Anya gi o
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!
CultureRe: Igbos Migrated From Ile-Ife - Ooni Of Ife by Swiftgrp:
wowcatty:
Useless Ooni, you call yourself an Oba but talk like a slave each time you open your mouth. What a new level of stupidity! You look stupid and sound stupid too. You are probably drunk again, since they say you swim in liquor. Oloshi oba ajarabuka, awon alale and orisa ma a se e bi ata se nsoju for helping igbos weaken and drag Yoruba during this time when Yoruba should be all armed defending their land against igbos. So what's next? Steal thousands of hectares of land from Yoruba and sell to igbos?
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.
