God bless you. I heard Jimi Disu too this morning say that the credit should go to Jonathan. Someone then called to say it conceived by Obasanjo, continued by Yar' Adua before Jonathan now completed it. I don't just know why some people feel GEJ should not and does not deserve any form of commendation. Why I am making this point is because we have had hues and cries of how GEJ did not do anything 6 years and how PDP destroyed Nigeria in thier 16 year rule. It is so pathetic. I am not holding brief for anybody.

Exactly.
Propaganda issue in this country....

sheunsheun:
I smh for our youth, is this really necessary?

Most project were left unattended to, by succeeding administration, you kept mute about that, but you can shout about this right?

Abi Gej used his papa money do am?

You still don't get the point, do you?
Those Liar people said that Jonathan did nothing and wasted our money with nothing to show for it.
Though one can argue that he did not do enough, one cannot argue that he did NOTHING
He tried his best, but that could not win him re election
That is what Zombies need to knock into their heads

The boy is African, she's akata. Let's see them after six years. I'm not impressed.
Akatas're always ready to take advantage of African men knowing we always want stability in life i.e. finish university, get a good job, get married and have children. I'm still yet to know if their males do the same to African females. Seems I'd never know because in everything concerning life females're always the most vocal.

What is this one saying?

jpphilips:
Buhari insisted that devaluation will never solve the problem, CBN claimed that floating will attract investors back in the market, the result is a devalued currency, double digit inflation and no investor, the same fx we needed to peg the naira is what we need to intervene in the floating regimen, Buhari was right afterall.

If the pegging has continued, the gap between official and black market would have been more than 300 naira
The problem with the president is that he does not know what he is doing

nextstep:
Actually, if you remember, he was the one who resisted changing the official peg of 199. It was "learned" economists, bankers, students, taxi drivers, parents of students abroad, importers, etc. who were crying that he should allow the peg to float so that the disparity of official to parallel rates won't be so high. They also insisted that it would encourage the naira to gain.

Now that the naira has lost value after removing the peg, those armchair economists are absolving themselves of any blame.

Even with the peg, wasmt the dollar already 350+?
The man is clueless, simple and short

Harzontorh:
Go to Abidjan, Ivory coast. Apart from the money gatting a higher digit and value, you will simply enjoy it. Read this Nairaland thread:

I concur...... Avoid Arik air

specialguest:
Nigeria has a few beautiful vacation spots like obudu and yankari. But the mentality of a typical Nigerian when it comes to vacation is somewhere outside the shores of Nigeria. I have been to obudu and it was a pleasant experiance but i fnd it more expensive than having a vacation in ghana or any other west African country.

The expenses is the exact reason why people prefer outside the shores of Nigeria

Emmanuelstm:
That 80 to 81 naira to 1 cedis is the rate of 2 years ago don't listen to old news and if I'm not sure I won't put it here and why would I go and get the info on the internet when I'm here in Accra well I won't say more then this. I'm out

On the contrary, don't believe the internet.
As at May, the rates were past 50 already, and right now, we are talking of more than 100 naira to a cedi.The Nigeeism currency is on a downward spiral.

It would soon be time for my summer tour, and I am so excited.....
Because there is this excitement I get each time I am in that city.... Can't really explain it

kidman96:

SWORD419:

I know they won't leave

What is this one doing again?

easiaq:
lnteresting, jst wondering da numbers of SEterns and SSterns in da north and SW compare vice versal

There are SO many SW/ Northern People who live in the SE/SS.
A little bit of travelling around will convince you.

Empero1:
Step aside. Since when did cfa's now gain weight more than naira, to the extend of exchanging 1k naira for 916 cfa. Parallel market or not. In fact, before close of office today, we exchanged 1k cfa for 650 naira. And this happen to be worst it has gotten.

At xe currency, it's 2 cfa to 1 naira... and this happen to be its worst slide against cfa, too.

I hope you are right.

AmAlbert:

shysteve:
Bro can you please tell me some nice places to visit here.....i wanna dedicate my weekend to seeing nice places and move all over abidjan......am yet to open my mouth to say hello to any girl yet.

The only problem now is that you speak no French, and you are all alone.
Youpougon is littered with clubs, so you can do that.
you can also go to the beach at grand Bassam...
You can also go to the city centre (Cocody/Plateaux )
That ks where you would see the real beauty of the city.

Ghana


Benin Rep.


Togo


Ivory Coast


Senegal

shysteve:
I think this place more beautiful and orderly than Accra and their woman look hot and tempting.....its like this yopuogon is filled with alot of girls (majority maybe runz girls) due to the nasty tempting dress they put on.

I just dey turn my head 360 degree everytime am outside.

Better shine your eyes o
Youpougon girls are *lips sealed*
Just kidding, they cool and easy going, too bad you don't understand French.
But still be careful sha
