*As Obiano says Anambra solidly behind Enugu people

Traditional rulers in the south east zone of the country who stormed Enugu, on Friday, in solidarity with Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi have called on the federal government to take immediate steps to disarm rampaging Fulani herdsmen.

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state also came calling yesterday along with an entourage made up of the leadership of the traditional rulers’ council of his state and some members of the state executive council to show solidarity with the Enugu governor over the killings at Nimbo by Fulani herdsmen, saying his government and the people of Anambra state were solidly behind the government and people of their sister state in this crisis.

Both group of visitors on solidarity visits commended Governor Ugwuanyi for the caliber of leadership he exhibited that worked to stave off further bloody crisis in the wake of the Nimbo attack.

One of the leaders of the South East traditional rulers council and Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, who was also on the entourage of Governor Obiano, told the two governors that it was the view of the monarchs that the people of the geopolitical zone should gird their loins and not allow this kind of attack to take their people unawares again in the future.

The chairman, South East traditional rulers council, His Royal Majesty Eze Dr. Eberechi N. Dick who led the monarchs to the Enugu Government House, urged the government to take the call for disarmament of the Fulani herdsmen serious in view of the danger herdsmen’s menace poses to the sovereignty of the country.

They declared that Governor Ugwuanyi showed effective leadership in handling the recent attack on the people of Ukpabi Nimbo in Uzo Uwani local government area of the state by suspected Fulani herdsmen. The monarchs thanked the governor for the way and manner he handled the matter without people taking the law into their hands, as well as wished the injured speedy recovery.

Addressing the traditional rulers, Governor Ugwuanyi said “your visit was really very comforting and reassuring and it goes to confirm our sense of brotherhood and the common grief that we share as a people.”

Governor Ugwuanyi also expressed immense gratitude to his Anambra state counterpart for standing by him from the moment the attack broke, informing that Obiano called him as soon as the incident occurred and that his presence today with a big entourage “goes to show the very special bond that exists between the people of Enugu and Anambra states and the love and empathy they share among themselves.”

no b small thing oooh

I wrote this article on the right to law concerning freedom of speech and not intentionally to attack any persons or political party but for the interest and well being of Nigerians and to protect this country against fraudulent activities. if any persons or group of persons find this not true or not accurate. then they can come out clean with reply to explain or correct the wrong impression.



And I start. sometime ago the sanusi leadership of CBN stop banks from paying dollars to citizens. this is what I called a monopolise foreign currency economy. even when money was sent to Nigeria in dollars the bank would simply pay the recipient in the imposed naira equivalent by the CBN. this was the beginning of the era when dollars became scarce in the Nigeria market.


small private owned bureau de change were the biggest hit by this CBN policy. poor bureau de change who relied so much on dollars from common Nigerian citizens packed out of business. those who use to buy dollars from citizens who received foreign remittance had to find alternate sources for dollars and this mark the beginning when dollars rise upward in the black market.

The official price on the dollar is a scam and of what use? since the citizens cannot obtain it officially from bank or neither the CBN except they go through the black market.

This is not only a cheat to the masses by the CBN but also causes inflation. A monopoly currency trade is a fraudulent activities where only the elite and those opportune to determine the price in black market.

I received a foreign remittance and I need to pay tithe in the said foreign currency. What happened? The bank refuse to pay me with the foreign currency rather they pay me in local currency equivalent impose by the CBN. and I had to go to black market to buy back the same foreign currency in exorbitant price. The bank and CBN sells my foreign currency to the bureau de change they make a lot if proceed from this scam..

Thanks to Nigerians who stays and work in abroad, as they said there is no country in the world where you can't find Nigerians. Rate this with our traveling spirit.


These people contributed very well enough to our foreign exchange. If you go to all the bank right now, you will be amazed with the numbers of queue from people who want to receive foreign remittance. This happens on daily basis.

foreign remittance from friends and family and including yahoo boys account of 40% of our foreign currency in circulation. in 2015 the World bank and CIA spy on foreign remittances index shows Nigeria is the number 1 of highest remittance
Received.

The so-called oil proceeds every year is been loted and taken back to foreign countries by our politicians.

many people thought that the peg on our naira to dollars is for the interest of the public, but that its not true. If the CBN allows bank to pay citizens in dollars. The market force will determine the price on the black market.

As I was Told. The CBN Chiefs has a bureau de change outlet. the policy makers (referees) also plays the midfield, more like they award contract to themselves. They simply collect peoples dollars at N199 they impose and sold it back to the people at N320.

I also read it somewhere that our President wife is now operating a bureau de change. Wake up Nigeria how long will you continued to be fooled.

As this policy remeans there will be no change but rather it will get worst and expect more inflation. Not until this policy is reversed and let bank start paying people in dollars for foreign remittance. There well be enough dollars to go round and this will stabilize the forex market.

ok

FG only listens to Yoruba monarchs, they don't listen to local village chiefs

Lols
Its really funny what has been happening in this country lately...

Worst still the current leadership can't even inspire hope in the lives of the masses. What an aloof government.

In the past buhari was quoted to have promised to make the country ungovernable for Jonathan and the whole world saw the foolishness his fellow northerners exhibited.

Currently no body wished buhari bad in his current leadership but his stay in office has brought many negative things to nigerians. I then wonder who is making the country ungovernable for buhari?

The Bible says that when the righteous is in power the people rejoice but when a wicked man is in power the people are in anguish.

Nigerians are you rejoicing or in anguish?

Buhari can never disarm his terrorising herdsmen

Fulani Herdsmen-----that terrorist group that enjoys Govt's and DSS' open support.

Is there any justification for a gang of terrorists disguising as herdsmen to carry weapons? Everybody should also be entitled to gun to protect his business.

Ok

Bakassi

"Bakassi"

whenever i see this name, na something else dey come my mind.. only Yoruba folks would understand

Nobody armed them in the first place.

Disarming the herdsmen is a positve step in the right direction but the government also needs to provide protection for the herdsmen against cattle rustlers. The herdsmen are victims of criminal elements too

This face looks familiar. Who is he

What is the useful of Fulani in Nigeria?

One day two wahalla.. Where is Lai Mohamed ??

this is the kind of calls that the everyone should put mouth and call for....tribalism wont let us
