PoliticsRibadu Summons Tinubu’s Special Investigator, Obazee For Extorting CBN Officials by Thissystem(op): 9:34pm On Feb 25, 2024
The National Security Adviser (NSA) has reportedly summoned Jim Obazee, the Special Investigator appointed by President Bola Tinubu to probe the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Godwin Emefiele.

Earlier reports highlighted claims of witch-hunting, extortion and undue intimidation by Obazee’s team, even after his mandated tenure had expired.

President Tinubu appointed Obazee as a special investigator of the CBN under Emefiele through a letter dated July 28, 2023.

Obazee and his team submitted their report, accusing the former CBN governor of misappropriating funds through contract scams and other fraudulent activities.

Politics"We Are Busy": Qatar Turns Down Tinubu’s Request To Visit For Business Talks. by Thissystem(op):
Arab country, Qatar has denied the request of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s to visit the nation in a bid to hold business talks.

In a Thursday letter to Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Qatar disclosed that it would be unable to hold the proposed forum on March 2 and 3 due to the lack of a legally binding agreement between the two countries.

The Qatari government added that its Commerce Ministry had other commitments on the days Tinubu desired to visit.

“The Embassy has the honour to inform that the Ministry of Commerce and Industry in Qatar apologises that it will not be able to hold a Business and Investment Forum as proposed by Nigerian side,” the letter read.

It added that “there is no any agreement signed between the State of Qatar and the Federal Republic of Nigeria on Investment Promotion and Protection.”

Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Qassim al-Thani, Qatar’s Commerce Minister, it said, “will be carrying out official missions outside the country during the upcoming visit period.”

“The State of Qatar will be hosting a web summit during the suggested period and the state’s authorities will be preoccupied with this event,” the letter detailed.

It could be deduced that the failure to reschedule the business forum to a more convenient period by the Qatari government, suggests unwillingness to forge any economic alliance with Nigeria.

Wale Edun, Nigeria’s Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, says approximately only 5% of people in Nigeria have more than N500,000 in their bank accounts.

The Minister who disclosed this on Friday in an interview on Channels Television, said the Federal Government plans to rectify the economic imbalances that disproportionately favour a small group of elites in the last eight years over the majority of citizens.

The aim of microeconomic reform, he said, is to ensure revenue is directed into the government’s treasury.

His words: “There has been an effort to ensure that the people’s money is not in the hands of a few. And on that point, I must emphasize that when we talk about the last eight years before Mr. President came to power, there was this liquidity built up.”

“The Issue was that the funds were going to a few. Only about 5% of the population have bank accounts that have more than half a million in them. So, the majority was left out for eight years. They are on the sidelines while a small minority enjoyed.”

Stanley Okoro Emegha, Chairman of the Ebonyi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has posited that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu cannot solve the increasing general hardship in the country alone.

He however called on all Nigerians to go into agriculture to combat the economic crisis in the country.

The APC chieftain who stated this at an event in Abakaliki, the state capital urged Nigerians to engage in meaningful ventures and stop blaming the President for their woes.

Questioning if Tinubu had stopped anyone from going to their farm to cultivate crops, he said, “Things are hard in the country now, and the much we can do is to be helping those we are better than. I want everybody to embark on agriculture, let’s feed first.

These are the things we can do by ourselves. I have told my family members that we have to go into cultivation. If you have food, I don’t think you will be hungry.

“Government, to some extent, can provide food for certain agricultural programmes. So, why not go into cultivation? Let everybody embark on agriculture.

“If you are hungry, what has Mr. President got to do? Mr. President cannot do it alone, all of us have to join hands and tackle this general hardship.

“Go to the farm, did Mr. President tell you not to farm in your backyard? The answer is no.

CrimeOne Feared Dead As Yoruba And Hausa Traders Clash In Popular Lagos Market by Thissystem(op): 6:44pm On Feb 23, 2024
The Oluwole Market in Ogba, Lagos, witnessed a disruption of commercial activities as clashes erupted between Yoruba and Hausa communities.

The clash, which began on Thursday night and escalated into Friday morning, resulted in the tragic death of a young man, further fueling tensions between the two groups.

Daily Trust reports that the clash reportedly started when a Yoruba man, identified as Abbey, intervened in a quarrel between two Hausa men.

In the course of the intervention, Abbey was allegedly stabbed by an unidentified assailant, leading to fatal injuries.

The aftermath of Abbey’s death triggered a reprisal attack between Yoruba and Hausa residents in the area.

The reprisal attack resulted in the destruction of property, particularly food items such as peppers, onions, and other commodities sold by Hausa traders in the Oluwole Market.

PoliticsAfrica’s ‘Flying Presidents’ of Kenya & Nigeria Face Backlash Over Foreign Trips by Thissystem(op): 8:53pm On Feb 22, 2024
If racking up air miles is the measure of a successful presidency, President William Ruto of Kenya and President Bola Tinubu of Nigeria might be winning. Since becoming presidents, they have faced similar criticism over their frequent trips abroad.

According to the BBC, the two men have been the subject of unflattering descriptions – the costs associated with their alleged penchant for air travel often contrasted with tough economic conditions at home.

The Standard, a Kenyan newspaper, has affectionately dubbed Ruto the “Flying President”. “so great is his love for flying that it appears that he cannot pass up any opportunity” despite pressing domestic demands, such as dealing with the high cost of living,” it said.

In Kenya, basic commodities like food, electricity, and fuel have gotten more expensive in the last year. On top of that, Taxes have eaten even deeper into the pockets of average Kenyans.

The economic reality is not any better in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy. Given the financial implications, many Nigerians see President Tinubu’s frequent international trips as contradicting the sacrifices he’s been asking citizens to make since the fuel subsidy removal and the floating of the naira.

On his social media, Nigeria’s opposition leader Atiku Abubakar stressed that Nigeria does not need a “tourist-in-chief”.

“Sacrifices for a better Nigeria must start from the leaders at all levels of government because the people have always made painful sacrifices, and the leaders must lead by example,” Peter Obi, another popular opposition leader chimed in.

Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State has announced that the dollar will crash in less than a month.

The governor disclosed this at a stakeholder meeting in Abeokuta.

He said: “I can assure you that the dollar will crash down in less than a month. The meeting we had with the President is very assuring and now we know that there are saboteur in the economy, but their aim will not succeed.

“In light of the current situation, we have made the decision to provide our citizens with essential food items such as rice, garri, and beans. I have arranged for nearly 100 trailers of rice to be delivered, with offloading beginning tomorrow.

“To ensure fair distribution, we have decided that the elderly and vulnerable will receive the rice free of charge, while others will be able to purchase it at the original price before the increase in the value of the dollar. This will allow us to sustain the initiative until the dollar issue is resolved.”

PoliticsBreaking!! International Monetary Fund (IMF) Issues Strong Message To Nigeria by Thissystem(op): 9:37pm On Feb 21, 2024
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has cautioned that Nigeria’s exchange rate might experience an additional 35 per cent depreciation this year.

What the IMF said:

“Monetary policy is tightened insufficiently to bring down inflation below 20% and pressures on the naira persist. In addition, Nigeria is hit by another adverse climate shock in early 2024 (following severe flooding in late 2022) that exacerbates the current weakness in agriculture and leads to a decline in output and a surge in food prices,”

“Given the absence of local production and the recent liberalization of commodity imports, the exchange rate would likely depreciate further—by an estimated 35% in 2024—and contribute to a further sharp rise in inflation, peaking at 44%, before monetary policy is eventually tightened sharply.”

The Bretton Woods institution suggests that the country would gain from formulating a comprehensive macroeconomic and growth strategy, in collaboration and with support from development partners.

Even with these challenges, the IMF is optimistic that Nigeria will fulfil its repayment obligations to the Fund, provided there is a continued focus on servicing external debt.

“Nigeria would be able to repay the fund, even in the downside scenario. This assumes that the authorities continue to prioritise external debt service. However, debt service would compete directly with urgent humanitarian needs to tackle rising poverty and food insecurity which would need to be prioritised,” it said.
