Sharp guy! No time to waste with Nina who love spreading her legs like someone spreading butter on a piece of bread.
Use the slay queen to achieve your goals and look for decent ones later

decent indeed

I'm not opposed to a United African currency, but most African states are so poor that at the end of the day, the stronger states would be the ones spending money on the weaker states.

Plus, strong economies produce industrial stuff which keeps their currencies strong. Most African countries are like Ghana which exported 2bn dollars worth of cocoa some years ago. One European company bought part of that cocoa and made products worth 17bn.

Ghaddafi whom you all admire, his economy was based on oil. If oil had dried up in Libya when he was in power, his economy would have gone down to zero.

Africa needs to be a producer, not a consumer. Then we can talk about single currency

you have spoken well

Focusmind:
Will ECO survive? Monetary union is based on strong economic fundamentals of member union. Certain things needs to be in place before implementation.
Things like sound micro economics, fiscal discipline in member states, huge export potentials in member states, political stability and peace.

All these are lacking in ECOWAS. Nigeria economy which should be about 60% of the sub-regional economy is not doing well and can't support itself talk more of supporting fragile economy of member state the same way Germany is the pillar of EURO and supporting fragile member states like Greece and others with huge debt.

The burden of ECO will be much on Nigeria and our export potential apart from oil is negligible. This will make ECO exchange with measure hard currencies to be worthless. More over, not everybody should be admitted into ECO. Requirements for admission must be set and those who meet the conditions will be admitted the same way EUROPEAN union set targets for membership admission. You must meet certain fiscal and economic and political criteria. These are to ensure stability and survival of the single currency. Ecowas should first study the European union.

thank God

someone sees what I'm seeing

Most of it is because of complex. Whatever are the problems of Black women because of their environment.... doesn't Whites face the same problems? Are White women good and Black women bad? Of course anyone is free to marry who he or she likes.... some men even marry men. Not saying Blacks must marry Blacks.... and not only Blacks have inferiority complex... but we are the ones that are always putting down our women in order to justify why we are marrying out of our race. My thing is most marry out because of inferiority complex.... and we can see how submissive... and gentle... and understanding... and forgiving and unupsettable these men become..... forgetting how to slap the non Black wife for any sin she may commit... great or small. Why?... see the one on topic... that's a house husband right there. Under a Black woman?...how many hot slaps for her if she dare ask him to wash the dishes.

but we are the ones that are always putting down our women in order to justify why we are marrying out of our race.

This up here is not true :-|

you are obviously not into MGTOW forums
If you are there, you will know that is not true

There are certain cultural chains in the legsof African women that are not on the legs of those in Europe, you know if and I Know it, and these cultural things being frictions

instead of blaming the black women, they should understand that it's the unfortunate environment and upbringing they found themselves in.

a Nigerian woman born and raised in the Netherlands for exAmple will notbe slaves to those things many Nigerians complain about that I have heard of anyways


I wish you could understand my point




EDIT

And yea, black women put down black men A WHOKE LOT TOO
African Americans and Nigerians are champions in that

the ones who will marry white men and be of thsye best behaviour, cause she can't believe her luck
And call the blaxk (Nigerian) men cave men, uncivilized, not gentle manly etc

But unlike black women who are hurt when they get yabbed like that, most men in naija don't care

so it's a two way thing
And its the environment (in saying this again)

vaxx:
Nigeria for now is not in good economic shape to stabilized it if the currency roll out . I will advocate Ghana and the rest to implement it without Nigeria if the need is urgent while Nigeria follow later.

If Ghana and Nigeria knows what is good for themselves

they better boycott that currency

Ghana is playing an experiment with the IMF and the cedi is dancing shoki

Will Ghana be able to do that if there is a single currency?

Akuffo Addo that short man better use his sense

Doubleprof1:
What is the implications of the said single currency on west African economy

Mostly negative


An economic zone that has its biggest trading partners out of the continent has no business with a single currency
the volume of trade in Europe is MASSIVE hence the currency EUR makes some sense
There is massive value being exchanged between member States, hence the EUR being the measure of value And store of value is appropriate

But how will ECO be useful when the trade volume between us is so slim
That is just one

Two
a unified currency means a single interest rate for the entire region
This will even be the worst, because for example when Nigeria was in serious trouble in 2016, the CBN had the authority to try all sorts of experiments

with a monetary union, you have lost such sovereignty
you cannot devalue or set interest rates unilaterally

When Greece and Italy got into hot water, because they had no such autonomy like say Britain, they wrre is worse situation and their fate was sealed in Brussels.

assuming Greece was still using their Drachma and Italy, lira, they would have done what was best for them.

But now you cannot becAuse you have given away such sovereignty

I Know Africans are not critical thinkers and act without reasoning
so I am not surprised with the moves being made, and the conmemts I'm reading

Shame

HeyCorleone:
Most people just come on Nairaland without any iota of wisdom, that's why they antagonise every news they hear. They are not always informed, but rather than seek wisdom, they'd rather lament.

I think this ECO would be for the best, especially as regards strengthening our currency. It would put a halt on the rising inflation in WA stated.

it won't be for the best, trust me.

Yohh:
I don't understand why some people are just unnecessary pessimistic, always antagonizing anything and everything of their own even without a rational backup explanation.

I'm hopeful this will strengthen our currency strength. Euro is very strong even more than d USD.
If this happens to be d end of naira, so be it. Who naira help before?

you don't have an economics background
you will not understand

This is a VERY VERY BAD MOVE


Nigeria better stays away from it.
Ghana better stays away from it too

What is the volume of trade BETWEEN the member States to warrant a single currency?

each member has it's 5 biggest trading partners out of the continent, unlike in Europe that their 5 biggest trading partners are between each other


Black man lacks sense, I have always known
But not this level of stupid

you just see EUR and you decide to adopt it.

And besides, we !are supposed to have a referendum to ascertain whether we want this currency or not

But in typical black monkey man fashion, these countries will want to force it on the people

Shame

aisammy4:
Our generation need to understand our history. Single currency has once been used in Western Africa. During that era, there was boom in the regional economy though run by the colonial masters. But when we started getting independence, we all left it and followed a new course. Today, we find ourselves in a huge mess.

We can still correct this problem by trying new things. Remember that Africa has been blessed with both human and mineral resources. Let's use put it to use.

I believe with an integrated economy within the region, we can start producing and distributing these products within the region. Sell at a moderate price to all within the region but at a higher cost to those outside the region. Ensure free trade zone are domiciled in all countries of the region and also encourage exchange of technical know how and information technology. With time the region should experience a substantial increase.

However, people fear that Nigeria being the largest economy in the region will be overweight and will take the highest burden. Well that can be true, but dont forget that we will also be strengthening our economy too. When we start production in large capacity and growing our produce in commercial quantities, shouldering these responsibilities will create better job opportunities for the teaming youths.

I still believe Naija is good to go anywhere, anytime! NAIJA NO DE CARRY LAST!

This single currency thing is a bad idea

The economic fundamentals in the sub region does not warrant such

And two, do they understand that this thing makes Nigeria especially lose its monetary sovereignty to the west African central bank?

If a Greece and Italy situation happens in West Africa (and yes, it will happen, look at the useless economies around WA) it means we will all be in trouble

It's finished for Africa

This is the most stupid thing ever
Do these folks understand the full implications of what they are doing?
smh
Africans with zero common sense

SultanOfAbia:
Congratulations for giving your son a foreign passport not this useless Nigeria passport

lol

ebuk4real:

Wait o @op. From the pics, I want to know if it's May D that's marrying her or she is the one marrying May D?

let's just say they married each other

Womenareape:
I advised we men should start marrying foreigners and leave those black biiiitheess called Naija women

that's not a nice thing to say about women

selemo:
I prefer western ladies to our timid african ladies.. African ladies are big time liability and burden...

don't blame the black ladies (Nigerians) so much

we were victims of our society and upbringing

the timidness is upbringing

as for the "liability"
I'm not sure about that, but a good number of women work very hard in NIgeria

its just the mental conditioning that needs to be adjusted,

Black ladies raised normally are as good as anyone else who was raised normal

so please don't be too harsh on them
condition make crayfish bend

Originalsly:
Bro.... most Blacks celebs that marry Whites suffer from inferiority complex. Like the excuse above... it does not hold. Blacks are pretty much rachet... but not Whites? E.g... the Kardashians are all gold diggers... notorious gold diggers... but celebs marry them.. and are proud doing so.... and we. Celebrate them. If they were Black... would we be singing them praises?...would the celebs even for a moment think of marrying them? Why not?
The guy here married a White.... do we have tribal concerns?....do we want to know of her background?...her religion if any?... did he pick her up from a bar?...was/is she an addict?....none of that matters... all that matters is she is White... and to many ... that is an achievement.... an accomplishment.
All this can be explained away.... but no need to put down Black women to justify why a White was chosen.

I disagree with you

Anyone can marry whoever they want, and that is one

Two, like I said, most of what the black guys accuse the black girls of us because they are victims of their environment and upbringing, you CANNOT discount that,
especially black ladies from Nigeria, and the ones in America


you cannot expect me to let a good woman go because she is "white" and I must marry black
That is not sensible

But yes, some do it because of some complex, that us also true, but saying most is not just true, especially in Europe.

Abkreizi:
True but black guys are also ratchet. ....

All victims of their society

everything a lot of black men accuse black women of, is due to how they were raised and the unfortunate environment they found themselves
When this is understood, we then can help each other and remedy the situation.

Abkreizi:
Like aren't there enough black women.... its mostly common in black celebs ... I mean had it been few ehen but its rampant. .... look at their music videos.... most times i search for a black celeb i hope to see a beautiful black family but its mostly mixed .... its somewhat sad to me cos you look at white celebs with their blue eyed brides

it's a complicated thing that cannot be explained simply

there are different reasons as to why black folks marry white folks

But then
it's a free world


And also a good number of black ladies are victims of their society and upbringing
if you understand my point.

Abkreizi:
I find it a bit awkward that some black musicians (african and American ) musicians marry white women..... I mean I feel like its beyond love like its some sort of cherry on the cake.... not hating by the way

why do you think so?

olaBC007:
But... Why oloshos dey always complain of slow patronage during Ramadan period

just imagine

Focusmind:
Honestly, if I was Buhari or government, this is the best time to announce one stupid economic policy. People are distracted by Fatoyinbo issue and are no more concern about the happenings in the country.

By the time the youths wakes up, the national assembly must have approved it and signed into law.

By next week, BB Nija will start and the youths will be occupied. By the time it ends, Bubu must have signed the Ruga program into law.

By the time Nigerians are back to their senses, they will be waking up in the same vicinity with herdsmen as they must have been settled in their locality.

you don talk am finish

LordAdam16:
Oga even without the accusations, they'd never have been on the same pedestal as Lincoln. And FDR has his detractors.

Bottom line is that they will be remembered. The Clinton Foundation has about 2000 employees and is doing amazing work in philanthropy. Trump is part of a dynasty.

Stop overrating abstract things. Lincoln is dead, kaput. If we were to have an apocalyptic event today, no one would give 2 f*cks about him. You're talking about men who've ascended to the pinnacle of world political domination and you're talking about soiled reputation. Do you know what many would give to live their lives for a day?

Do you know what soiled reputation is? Even the Bushes with all the so-called "soiled reputation or name" has a scion George who is the current Texas Land Commissioner and future governor of Texas state. Read, study human behavioral patterns, and consult experts even with disturbing postulations; rather than getting your talking points from overpaid hacks who are one bad story away from getting fired and living in a dumpster.

lmao

I like the way you write

always a pleasure to read..

Hintona:
those silly Ghanaians think they are better than Nigerians, only if their population was as large as ours, then they'll see an alarming increase in their crime rate.

many Ghanaians think they are better

which in reality they are not better

false sense of superiority

I'm so sorry for your ordeal

mrvitalis:
Shut up ...this is not the first nor the secound time

Neymar case is different ...when people that know u for long over 20 years start accusing u ,not one not two then something is wrong

LordAdam16:
Clinton body count has nothing to do with his sexual impropriety. That's why I asked you if you know about it.

This is how you guys follow the bandwagon and don't do independent research. Go read about the Clinton body count again and make another attempt at a constructive reply.

As for Clinton's name being soiled. That's a reach. The family has amassed more wealth and power than they know what to do with it; and Hilary lost because the silent majority didn't trust her crooked a$$, not because Bill was randy.

Trump was also accused of sexual assault, in fact as recently as last week. Dude is still the sitting President with a brand name that's as valuable as it's ever been. Stop looking at the world with rose tinted glasses. Things happen that'd shake you to your core if you know where to look.

Do you know how cheap it is to make people disappear, to make events look like "accidents," or the ease with which memory can be manipulated.

-Lord

amassing wealth and power will not changed the fact that not Trump and Clinton have soiled reputations

They can never be on the same pedestal as say Abe Lincoln or FDR

Just like Nixon, they will be remembered as those who soiled their name, especially that punk ass Trump

Having a name and reputations may not be valuable to some
But it really is, and money cannot buy that

As for your last paragraph
So?
Will that change the damage that has already been done to your reputation or name?

AngelicBeing:
Lol, I was expecting a response like this, the word Christian, God, Allah, it is well, favor, Grace, God will do it, I am a covenant child, fast and go for deliverance before you travel, favor at the point of entry, Grace of God will prevail at my visa interview and point of entry has been so bastardized and abused by so many people,

It is a clear indication that the conscience is dead, robbers will call God before going to rob, ashawo will call God to provide business, yahoo guys will call God for clients, visa / immigration clients will call God to lie in visa application's, interviews etc politicians will swear with Koran and Bible and still loot, fúçk hoes in Sheraton Abuja / lagos and Still head to churches and mosques on worship days and you wonder why despite all this, Nigeria is still an analog country operating in the 15th century

Whenever I see people start a conversation with l am a Christian, pastor, imam etc, l raise my guard to planet Jupiter, Abeg make una leave God out of unrighteousness, sin, deceit, lies, wickedness, God cannot be mocked, whatsoever we sow we reap it etc God is a Holy God and cannot be mocked with frivolous religious pieties void of Godliness, packaging fraudulent lies in visa application's and calling God is bulshit, God is tired of useless prayers coming daily from Nigeria void of righteousness. Why call the name of God when you start a venture with lies, no wonder, lots of prayers are useless before God

Exactly so...

Religious but Godless hypocrites we have in Nigeria

oluayebenz:
So you knw that, why stressing yourself out?

He lived in Abidjan and he has only traveled around the neighboring countries

And you know this about me how?

Did you collect my passport to check where and where I have been to?

Only neighbouring countries indeed

pacificman:
Yes we all have our demons and we are all not perfect but to come online and start forming holy holy when you loot more than abacha is called hypocrisy.ugo is well known for thrashing nigeria and i always support him because only travelers know nigeria is hell and thats why even the moderator did not come back after studies,he wanted a better life for himself and family.

lmao

naija issa casted country now

it's clear to all...

AngelicBeing:
Almost all the route people use for eloping to the west don almost cast completely for Nigerians now, US, CANADA and several western nations don tighten up, so it is just a question of time for passport holders from Nigeria to be treated like nationals of Somalia, Yemen or Libya as regards securing visas to the west

be desperation

pacificman:
she is a yahoo girl and a spammer,she buys yahoo goods and what would you call her?a person who buys goods from armed robbers and for you..yes you are a hypocrite..she was even caught years ago trying to buy emails for yahoo spamming

I'm a hypocrite how?



lmao

AngelicBeing:
Not really, we have different characters online and that is why it is good to keep your personal information to yourself alone than putting everything online, monitoring spirit plenty online tracking your activities to use it against you when necessary

exactly cha


Why do Nigerians justify wrong?

pacificman:
yes bro..lets end the matter so people can contribute..YES ITS IN OUR DNA to be desperate.i always agree with you when you say abidjan is better than nigeria,i left nigeria years ago and i always go back and i was back home recently and it was hell and everything is expensive,many african countries are better than nigeria in some areas and maybe in all areas,i am not saying corner corner is right but hypocrisy is what i detest,the other one was calling people lowlives while she is a pure yahoo girl,let me ask you if you buy stolen goods from armed robbers what are you?illegal to give birth on tourist visas in other countries but in brazil it is not illegal,thats the point

i travel to Nigeria sometimes especially when I'm en route to another place
that country is destroyed
It's a shame
