You guys are not ashamed to show your ignorance in public. Is it the Central Bank governor that will reduce the value of a foreign currency? Have you ever heard of the term "balance of trade" before? I always advise you developers that anything beyond petty buying and selling you lot shouldn't be dabbling into it. It's beyond your mental capacity.
Do we have to import a lot of stuff from abroad. Once u are self sufficient and utilise local products your currency would be stable. Any wonder why Afghanistan’s currency is stronger than both the Indian and Pakistani currencies. Because Afghanistan does not need stuffs from other parts of d world in fact using indigenous mechanics they fixed all broken tanks, trucks and helicopters left behind by the US.
Obsession with western goods is our biggest albatross.

Don't mind them, there is another thread floating around with the same sentiment.
All currencies fluctuate as Cedi is now doing.
If Cardiso redecimalises now, these same people will start screaming and shouting with the short term pain that brings.
So what stops Cardozo from re-decimalising. What is good for the goose would surely be good for the gander.

Or why would Tinubu embark on a multi trillion Naira coastal road when he said the country was broke when he came in. Basically he just printed the naira he needed took to black market and buy dollars knowing the Naira would crash hence that is what happened.
Not that I don’t love the Lagos Calabar road I do but as at the time it was started we could not afford it.

The so called elites and the people in government in Nigeria will never want things to be better in Nigeria,can u tell me anything good these greedy, selfish people have done to better the lives of the average Nigerian?
Nothing,they will always keep the naira weak to the dollar because they derive a lot of benefits from the fall,
Only the private industry and stake holders can bring about any reduction of benefits to the ordinary Nigerian, because they know it's the people who patronizes them,but government? No way
The truth is that they printing Naira like Idi amin. We don’t have economist in our CBN

Cardozo must not be shy he should go visit his younger brother and get some hints from him. What I don’t understand in Nigeria is Cardozo is about 65 years in England he is more or less one year to retirement yet he was made CBN Governor. If you see the Ghanaian CBN Governor he is probably in his mid to late 40’s the height of a man’s dexterity can this be reason why we keep on failing.
Even our elites why send your kids to Harvard Cambridge or Oxford when u cannot even put them in positions where they would flourish. Rather we send semi retired Uncles to critical institutions.

Our Central bank Governor needs to go learn from his colleague in Ghana. He should understudy how he managed to bring the value of the cedis from as high as 17 to 1 to 8 to 1 today.
I think it is worthy for any Central Bank Governor in Africa to understudy this great turnaround.

Because as Africans we need to evolve our own type of democracy. Most African communities have a leader or what I will call a “baale” -which means land owners who gives direction on how things should be be run in that community.
With that established we should vote in an elder in each ward who will in turn vote for us in our Governors and President. This would be a self evolved democratic direction . Reflecting indirectly the whims of the people.

Because of rigging we should vote indirectly. First we vote our ward chief executive they would now vote in a presidency and governorship elections selecting who will govern for us. While state House of Assembly and Reps, and Senate would be direct.
There are about 10,000 wards those 10,000 ward representatives would vote the president as an electoral college. It would be difficult to influence all 10,000 of this individuals even if you give them money nothing stops them from voting against you as voting would be secret ballot.
What do you guys think.

Igbophobia:
The bolded is a lie. Lies fly in Nigeria whenever it is concocted against the Igbo. Fear of domination? Yes. Who isn't scared of Igbo domination? Which African tribe would want a level playing field with the Igbo? Is it the Yoruba who would block Igbo from voting or the Fulani? What people call domination is the fear that given a level playing field with Igbo that they can't meet up. Nigeria is what it is today because the country pushes mediocrity to the top. This is why the Igbo should push for an Igbo-only country and push the best among them to represent them. That's the only way an African country could become world-class.
Even the Sarduana of Sokoto said it as far back as 1960 not to think of what the Southern Cameroons think off. If a Northerner that does not live with could bottle up such fear and sentiment what do you think those living amongst u would think.

If the inflation rates continue the way it is and the Naira continues to to slide why our neighbours Ghana records an accolade of being the best performing currency in the world. Our leaders if care is not taken would be swept away.
What do you think would happen 2027, the people of Nigeria who are more than political jobbers would turn against Tinubu.
Obi does not need a coalition to win, he can just turn the tides on his own. Example saying the North can gives us more funds than oil is good song to the Northern ears obviously everyone would like to be in that state of optimism. Obi is selling hopes which could possibly turn to votes.

U have twisted the narrative again just to make it suit ur fancy.
Firstly, ...they held the referendum in Feb 1st 1961 and not in the 50's as u claimed.
Secondly,they decided to be part of Cameroon because of their strong cultural ties with Cameroun.
Thirdly,the southern Cameroun were part of Nigeria for over 50 yrs and there was the need to try another country for economic stability and not because of the dominance of igbos.
Liar liar liar.
They had strong cultural ties to Cross River and Akwa Ibom than the people of central Cameroon. It was the overbearingness of the Igbo that made them choose to a more lame docile French Cameroonians thinking they could overcome the French unfortunately the tide turned against them.

DomPerignon:
From the inception of native rule n 1951 and the setting up of regional Houses with elected representatives , the ninoroty people in the north, west and east immediately began the clamour for their own regions.
Since the regional Houses back then didnt have the powers to grant internal seccesion , the prayers of the minoroty people in the three regions was directed to the British colonial government which brushed aside their demands with the exception of western Cameroun. Western Cameroun only became part of British Mandated Nigeria after the treaty of Verssielle had divided German Cameroun following the defeat of in WW1.
The clamour for the creation of Midwestern Nigeria was spearheaded by the then Oba of Benin who saw his Kingdom and supreme authority under Westen Nigeria being relegated below the Alaffin of Oyo and the Ooni of Ife.
immediately on independence the Oba fontinied his quest at the regional House in Ibadan to which there was no opposotion from Yoruba MPs. Its even on record that the motion for a referendum for the people f midwest creation was ed by a Yoruba MP
Also note that it was only western Nigeria that operated a bi-mecurial Parliament with the House of Commons for elected posotions and a House of Chiefs for titled holders to which the Oba of Benin was part of.
What the above meant was that even when a Yoruba dominated House had ed the motion for referendum for the creation of Midwest it still required ratifucation from the House of Chiefs dominated mostly by Yoruba monarchs.
That is to tell you that it was only inthe Yoruba dominated House in Ibadan that the wishes of minoroties was listened to and graciuosly approved.
After the conclusion of the referendum, it was still a Yoruba Federal MP that presented the reults on behalf of the minoroty MPs calling for the Federal House to ratify the outcome and grant the creation of Midwetern region.
Was that the case in Enugu and Kaduna?
The very fact that midwest was created through democraric and constitutional means ought to tell you who the Yorubas are.
To paraphrase Awlowo, he said the Yorubas who fought against British colonialism can not turn around and hold their brothers in a union created by the British imperailists.
i am sure you have heard of the mantra "One north" and how it was coined by the Sarduna.
"One north" does not imply one unified north rather it was Sarduna's desperate actions tp keep the socalled Pagan Provinces of present middlebelt from leaving the north.
In Enugu , the Ibo dominated house acting on direct instructions from Zik did everything opppsite of what transpired in Ibadan
So, in a nutshell, the very reason midwest came to existence exonerates the Yorubas as impeilists.
As i said here befire the spam bot banned and hid my comment, independence movement meant different things fot the three major tribes.
The Fulani north looked foward to independence to re kickstart their halted jihad which had thr entire Nigeria in it cross-hairs.
You ibos, fresh from your dilligent servitide to the british colonal government , saw the Nigerian state as your bequeated settlement for your servitude to the British and you wasted no time presnting yourselves as the new colonial masters to the hapless minirities trapped in that British contrapment known as Eastern Nigeria. To showcase how deluded you were as the new colonial overlords, ypu decided to annex the newly created states of Old Rivers (present day Bayelsa and Rivers) and Old Cross Rivers (Present day Akwa Ibom and Cross River) to form your ungodly cannibal Biafra.
As for the Yoruba, they wanted to be on their own and had insisted on a referendum clause and the fact that they keyed into the demands of their cousins in the old Bendel proves thst out of the three major tribes they remain the only civil nationality that did not see minorities as one to exploit and paraatize on.

I think your problem like a lot of Nigerians in English comprehension.
I repeat:
SW has no entitlement to the presidency till 2071 if Tinubu completes his 2 .
We may get it in 2055 if the SE don’t get their act together but it won’t be because we are entitled to or deserve it but due to bad politics by the SE. That it is your turn does not mean you will get it. If a SW man becomes president again before the SE, I will feel bad because it means they haven’t learnt how to play politics.
The word no entitlement is wrong. That word alone is enough for a strong SW candidate to throw his hat in the ring and scamper any would be ambition from other zones.

People like you make me laugh. You people act as if the State creation was a good thing. Before State, there were provinces where people istered themselves. The creation of States was what brought unitary rule and put all the resources of the people in hands of the Federal government. How can people be getting 13% of their resources while the federal government takes 87%? That is slavery. Back in the days of the Regions, the Region's got as much as 75% of their resources
The situation English speaking people of Cameroun would not have been better if they had chosen to stay with Nigeria, they would have suffered the same marginalisation and slavery they are going through in Cameroun
Which is why they now fight for independence
And secondly the so called 87% u say the FG gets is distributed amongst the other states in the federation not only FG gets it.

There is no zoning of any kind in the constitution, whether north south or micro zones! You can run but you will not win!
Nobody said it is not your right. The system will determine whose turn it is.
We have unwritten rotational presidency. This is determined by 1) Your power base and influence. 2) the acceptability of the candidate you present to others 3) The way you play your politics. 4) consensus amongst other zones that it is your turn and you have presented a candidate acceptable to them.
Now u are talking. U don’t come out blatantly and even blindly and say a whole big section of Nigeria is excluded from running until 2071 even though it may be the case saliently.

Like I said presidency is a once in 48 year phenomenon. When it your turn don’t mess it up by presenting unelectable candidates. Am unelectable candidate is a candidate that other zones will not vote for. This is why Awolowo never became president!
Ogbeni yii, micro zoning has been thrown out by the house of reps. If u cannot bring out a strong candidate who would galvanise the people then forget it. presidency is not serve a la carte.
