So with all of these “honorary degrees” wey politicians dey buy like bread what has she done to help one person? Just one. If I remember correctly was she not fighting her fellow half Igbo writer just a few years ago? All I hear about her is complaining and victimhood. What other books has she written that have had the critical acclaim of Half a yellow sun that she was accused of plagiarising? This one should decide if she is an author or political commentator |

MatrixCircle: You lack knowledge of Finance. In Financing, debt is better than equity for financing projects because debt is cheaper. Ask a finance person to interpret this to you because you are a mumu person. In your personal finances, don’t use your money to fund projects, even if you have. Borrow and be paying small small while you still maintain your own money. Why has Dangote’ not use his cash to fund the refinery? The American that is now your God and savior over Nigeria has the highest debt in the world. Go and verify, as your Pandora would say. So, when funding huge projects on a long term, you don’t use your cash; you borrow, instead. 1 Like |

Seriously Nigeria is more divided than we can ever let on. This election is like a wind that blew everything open. I've read through 50% of the comment here and I'm wondering are these all Nigerians spewing such hate towards one another? Mehn this country is gone, there is no salvaging it. We are more divided than united. And this is why our politicians though in the minority are having a field day with our intelligence. What a shame. There was a Country! Whose people are more divided than united. |

MatrixCircle: Is Nigeria using 100% of its revenue to service debt? I said your are dafter. Where will Nigeria get money to do other things if we use 100% of our money to service debt? My Olodo finance student. America’s Dollar is strong because of two things: 1. They manufacture nearly everything they need, locally. They import few things. 2. Their currency is being used worldwide as the base currency for international trade, because of their stable economy. Their currency/economy doesn’t really experience serious inflation. Recently, countries are thinking of dropping Dollars and embracing other currency as means of payment worldwide. So Dollar may lose its value. You can go and read more about efforts that countries like China, Brazil, UK, India, Russia etc are making to switch from Dollar to another currency. As per Nigeria, Nigeria’s currency is low not because we are borrowing but because we don’t manufacture locally. We import up to handkerchief, toothpicks etc. and na your brother from the Yeastern land caused over 60% of naira to loose its value because their fake and substandard products being imported by them. Whenever you import, you have to pay the seller in foreign currency. They don’t spend Naira in the country where you imported. You have to look for the currency in which you have agreed to pay, with the seller. So, in the process of Nigerians carrying around Naira looking for foreign currencies, Naira will loose value. Assuming we manufacture most things we need, locally, we won’t import so there won’t be need to look for foreign currencies to pay for good or services. Also, we will export part of what we produce/manufacture locally and make earnings from it. To have strong currency, we must produce over 70% of what we need, locally. We must have industries. Not iced-block industries o or betting shops o. I mean real industries. That’s why we need steady electricity. 2 Likes |

Prof Woke Soyinka is a man I have so much respect for but he really messed up for meddling with what happened. I started observing Professor Woke Soyinka when he promised to destroy his American Green card as a result of misrule in Nigeria during the PDP era to the extent that he promised to to do it live on tv. At the end baba failed to execute what he said. He is not the professor we used to know. |

MeineMutter:Olodo ;. So you don't know the government was accused of printing money to pay salary when they could not secure other loans. Then borrows for infrastructure if they got. Now I know you lack information and don't listen to current news. The Finance Minister mentioned it before how 100% of revenue was used for servicing debt. Google what I just told you. I was even thinking you were informed. |

When you are playing to the gallery of the liberals and you join them to support same sex marriage, homosexuality and lesbianism, they will give you a standing ovation and celebrate you to increase the popularity of their Satanic Agenda in America. Mention one single achievement Chimamanda Ngozi-Adichie has done for the nation building of Nigeria? I am known internationally as one of the leading Champions of girl education in Nigeria and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) cosponsored the Girl Rising education project in Kano State after I brought Girl Rising to Nigeria in 2013. I was the Captain of Girl Rising in Nigeria and organized the Nigerian premiere of the acclaimed Girl Rising documentary film to celebrate the first ever United Nations' International Day of the Girl Child in Nigeria on October 11, 2013 at the Silverbird Cinemas in the Silverbird Galleria on Victoria Island, Lagos. I have been offered Honorary Doctorate Degree by a university in the UK, a residency in Ireland and two professional fellowships in Nigeria. Mention one single thing Chieftess Odeluwa has done with her own money and quality time to uplift underprivileged girls in her own Anambra State? None. Instead, she has been using underprivileged girls as nannies. What matters most is not what you are in the eyes of the world, But who you are in the eyes of Almighty God. I will never celebrate anyone who supports same sex marriage, homosexuality and lesbianism. Abominations against Almighty God. 3 Likes 1 Share |

Fineman2: All these doesn't turn to everlasting success. All awards and honors can become nothing soon. I don't think she is popular than R-Kelly and more other superstars who are today worthless. Character is the ultimate. With bad character, you can loose whatever accolades you might have gathered in the past very easily and painful way. I hope chimamando won't let ethnic bigot lead her to a journey of no return. What go up and can come down and scatter. |
