The Senate are not dumb to approve his request. Besides the majority of the Senate who are from the North wouldn't vote for it. They all know the implications. Bola Tinubu is only acting based on his own opinion or some few persons suggestions to invade Niger Republic. |

The Igbos will start importing their products and selling at a higher price to Nigerians which will make them rich, while the Federal Government turns a blind eye to fixing the reasons why they left Nigeria The Igbos will benefit massively from this, while their Yoruba counterparts in SW will keep prostrating to Tinubu to give them their daily bread after insulting the Igbos online 162 Likes 11 Shares |

Elon Musk bears many titles — CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, Dogecoin enthusiast, revolutionary of space exploration, and richest man in the world — and has become a household name we all know well. Musk founded quite a few companies most people are familiar with, but not everyone knows the role Musk has played in their success. SpaceX To reduce the cost of space exploration, Musk created SpaceX in 2002. SpaceX designs, manufactures, and launches advanced aircraft. Since its founding, SpaceX has launched 246 rockets and spacecraft, 207 of which successfully landed. Its most recent mission on July 15, dubbed the “Starlink Mission,” saw Falcon 9 launch 54 Starlink satellites to low-Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 40. SpaceX is the only private company to return a spacecraft from low-Earth orbit and take humans to and from the International Space Station. The company believes in the power of a reusable rocket; it has reflown 183 of its own to embody this philosophy. The company, valued at over $100 billion, is one of the most valuable private companies in the world. The acquisition of Twitter by Musk spanned from April to October 2022. In January of the same year, Musk began buying shares of the American social media site before becoming its largest shareholder in April. When Musk offered to purchase the company, Twitter's board of directors unanimously accepted his $44 billion offer. Musk's goals for the social media site include promoting free speech, ridding of "bot" accounts, and making its algorithm open-source. While Musk had plans to terminate the agreement, he officially took over as owner and CEO of the company on October 27, 2022, and Twitter was taken private. xAI On July 12, 2023, Musk announced via Twitter the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) company, xAI. With a goal to "understand the true nature of the universe," some of the team's members include previous employees of Google Research, DeepMind, and Microsoft Research. According to xAI's website, the company is separate from X Corp but will work closely with Twitter and Tesla to accomplish its mission. Musk plans to position the company to compete with the companies behind chatbots like ChatGPT. The Boring Company Musk founded American construction company The Boring Company in 2016. Its projects are primarily designed for intra-city transit systems to solve traffic challenges and enable point-to-point transportation. According to its website, The Boring Company believes major cities need either flying cars or tunnels in order to get rid of traffic. Musk settled on the latter solution because tunnels aren’t impacted by weather changes and “won’t fall on your head.” In April 2021, The Boring Company introduced its first project at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The company created two parallel tunnels measuring 1.7 miles long, each with Tesla vehicles carrying passengers to their desired destination across the center. Neuralink Corporation Musk is also the owner and co-founder of Neuralink Corporation, a neurotechnology company developing implantable brain-machine interfaces. The company’s main goal is to create brain implants that can communicate with phones and computers as well as help people with paralysis regain independence. “Our devices are designed to give people the ability to communicate more easily via text or speech synthesis, to follow their curiosity on the web, or to express their creativity through photography, art, or writing apps,” Neuralink’s website states. As of this year, the total investment in the company is around $5 billion. Zip2 Although Zip2 is no longer in business, it was the first enterprise Musk founded back in 1995. The company provided a searchable business directory — basically an “internet version of the yellow pages” with maps included. The company's mission, according to Musk, was “that everyone ought to be able to find the closest pizza parlour and to be able to figure out how to get there.” In 1999, Compaq Computer Corporation acquired Zip2 for $307 million. OpenAI Musk founded OpenAI, a nonprofit research and development company, in 2015. Although he resigned from the board in 2018, he remains a major donor. The company is a DeepMind competitor with the goal of ensuring that “artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity.” OpenAI is one of the leading AI research labs in the world, with the ultimate goal of being the first company to design a machine with the learning and reasoning powers of a human mind. Tesla The company Musk is probably most well known for is Tesla. An American electric vehicle and clean energy company, Tesla has made headlines since its founding in 2003 thanks to its advancements in the automotive industry and its clean energy efforts. Tesla hopes to accelerate the transition to sustainable energy by producing energy storage systems such as solar panels and solar roof tiles, as well as batteries for electric vehicles. While the company has a number of accolades under its belt, it notably designed the first premium all-electric sedan. The company currently holds the spot as the number one automotive company in the world, with a market cap of $910 billion. SolarCity Tesla also acquired SolarCity, a company focused on door-to-door sales of solar energy generation systems. The company, which was founded in 2004 by two of Musk’s cousins, was acquired by Tesla in 2016 for $2.6 billion. However, some investors didn’t approve of the deal, as Musk had ties to the founders and “overpaid for SolarCity, ignored their own conflicts of interest and failed to disclose 'troubling facts' essential to a rational analysis of the proposed deal." PayPal This one may be a shock, but Musk is also a co-founder of PayPal. PayPal is a multinational financial technology company that works as an electronic alternative to checks or money orders by supporting online money transfers. Founded in 1998, PayPal merged with Musk’s former company, X.com, in 2000. Since then, PayPal has become a Fortune 500 company and had its best year yet in 2020 with nearly 73 million net new accounts. |

10 Strongest Currencies In The World In 2023 The US dollar is generally seen as the most powerful currency in the world, and it’s certainly the most-traded currency on the global stage by some margin. However, perhaps surprisingly, the ‘greenback’ is not the strongest of the 180-odd traditional ‘fiat’ currencies recognised as legal tender worldwide. Here’s a look at the top 10 strongest currencies in the world, based on their relative value against the US dollar. How Is Foreign Currency Priced? Foreign currency is traded in pairs, for example, buying US dollars with Australian dollars. As a result, currency is always priced relative to another currency, known as the ‘exchange rate’. Most currencies are ‘floating’, meaning their value fluctuates depending on demand and supply. However, some currencies are ‘pegged’, which means their value relative to another currency (such as the US dollar) is fixed at an agreed rate. The Australian dollar, for example, was pegged to the US dollar until 1983, but now operates on a floating exchange rate, whereby the value of the Australian dollar rises and falls according to supply and demand factors. Exchange rates affect the cost of goods and services in a foreign currency. For example, if the Australian dollar weakens against the US dollar, a holiday in the United States would cost more in AUD terms. As of July 4, one Australian dollar is worth exactly 67 cents, which is a far cry off from a little more than a decade ago when the AUD achieved parity with the greenback, and prompted a flurry of bookings to Hawaii. Holidays aside, exchange rate movements also create an opportunity for investors looking to make a profit from trading in foreign exchange. Note that any form of market-based investment or speculation puts all your capital at risk. Investments can go up and down in value, so you may lose some or all of your money. Leveraged products such as contracts for difference are highly speculative and carry the additional risk of losing money beyond that originally staked. What are the Top 10 Strongest Currencies? We’ve analysed the strongest currencies, based on the number of units of foreign currency received in exchange for one US dollar. The exchange rates are sourced from our currency converter, based on data from Open Exchange as at the time of writing. Let’s take a look at the strongest currencies in the world—the results may surprise you. 1. Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) The Kuwaiti dinar is the strongest currency in the world with 1 Kuwaiti dinar buying 3.26 US dollars (or, put another way, US$1 equals 0.31 Kuwaiti dinars). Kuwait is located between Saudi Arabia and Iraq, earning much of its wealth from being a leading global exporter of oil. The Kuwaiti dinar was introduced in the 1960s and was initially pegged to the British pound before being re-pegged to an undisclosed basket of currencies. 2. Bahraini dinar (BHD) The Bahraini dinar is the second strongest currency in the world with 1 Bahraini dinar buying 2.65 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.38 Bahraini dinars). Bahrain is an island nation in the Persian Gulf off the coast of Saudi Arabia. Like Kuwait, the country earns much of its wealth from oil and gas exports. The Bahraini dinar entered circulation in 1965 and is pegged to the US dollar. 3. Omani rial (OMR) The Omani rial is the third strongest currency in the world with 1 Omani rial buying 2.60 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.38 Omani rial). Oman sits between the United Arab Emirates and Yemen at the tip of the Arabian peninsula. As with its other wealthy neighbours, Oman is a major exporter of oil and gas. The Omani rial was introduced in the 1970s and is pegged to the US dollar. 4. Jordanian dinar (JOD) The Jordanian dinar is the fourth strongest currency in the world with 1 Jordanian dinar buying 1.41 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.71 Jordanian dinar). Jordan is largely land-locked country in the Middle East. Jordan is less dependent on oil and gas exports than its neighbours and has struggled with sluggish economic growth and rising debt. The Jordanian dinar entered circulation in 1950 and is pegged to the US dollar. 5. British pound (GBP) The British pound is the fifth strongest currency in the world with 1 British pound buying 1.20 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.83 British pounds). Britain is the sixth largest country by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), according to the World Bank. The pound was first introduced in the 1400s before being decimalised in 1971. It is free-floating and thus not pegged to other currencies. 6. (Tie) Cayman Islands dollar (KYD) The Cayman Islands dollar is the joint sixth-strongest currency in the world with 1 Cayman Islands dollar buying 1.20 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.83 Cayman Islands dollars). The Cayman Islands is a British territory in the Caribbean and is an offshore financial centre. The Cayman Islands dollar was first introduced in the 1970s and is pegged to the US dollar. 6. (Tie) Gibraltar pound (GIP) The Gibraltar pound is the joint sixth strongest currency in the world with 1 Gibraltar pound buying 1.20 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.83 Gibraltar pounds). Gibraltar is located at the southern tip of Spain and is officially a British territory. The Gibraltar pound was first introduced in the 1920s and is pegged to the British pound (at par, meaning that one GIP equals one GBP). 8. (Tie) Swiss franc (CHF) The Swiss franc is the joint eighth strongest currency in the world with 1 Swiss franc buying 1.07 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.93 Swiss francs). The Swiss franc is the official legal tender of Switzerland and Liechtenstein and is seen as a safe haven due to Switzerland’s political stability. The Swiss franc was introduced in 1850 and was later briefly pegged to the Euro before moving to a free-float. 8. (Tie) Euro (EUR) The Euro is the joint eighth strongest currency in the world with 1 Euro buying 1.07 US dollars (or US$1 equals 0.94 euros). The Euro is the official currency of the Eurozone, being 20 out of the 27 countries that form part of the European Union. The physical currency entered circulation in 2002 and is free-floating. Related: Euro to AUD forecast 10. US dollar (USD) The US dollar is the 10th strongest currency in the world, worth exactly 1 against itself. All other units of currency across the globe are worth less than a US dollar. Created in the 1700s, the US dollar is legal tender in the USA, other US territories and sovereign nations including Ecuador and Zimbabwe. The US is the world’s largest economy by GDP and the US dollar is by far the most-traded currency globally. The US dollar is also the largest reserve currency in the world (the currency most held by central banks) and is the currency used to price many commodities, including oil, gold and copper. © 2023 Forbes Media LLC.

A Yoruba man's cap can be tilted right, left,front, up, or back, but what does it all mean? There have been many misconceptions about the meaning of the caps (Fila) worn by Yoruba men. A Yoruba scholar on Instagram, Abdulquddus Gbadamosi, shed some light on this. The shape of the man's head is said to resemble the "circle of life," which begins on the right and travels across the front, left, and rear. When a young boy is dressed up for a special event, his mother tilts his cap to the right because, when one is young, it is a sign that one is just starting out in life. The second stage in a man's life is when he is a young man in his prime. His cap would be tilted toward the front. In Yoruba culture, it is a tradition for men of this age to marry, prosper financially, nurture their children, and support their families. These milestones are highly valued and regarded as pivotal obligations for men at this stage of life. The left tilt is for the older men; at this age, one gradually retires from work and enjoys life more and the fruits of his labour. The truly old men wear their caps back to show the end of life and the fact that they have lived life. The standing cap was called an Aro. It literally means standing, and it has no position or means nothing per se. This wasn't a popular way to wear a cap in Yoruba culture and would only be seen by carefree or inferior members of society. The front and back tilting of the cap is not so common these days; what we have are the left and right tilts. The prevalent belief is that married men wear their caps to the left, while single men wear theirs to the right. Some people might argue this is not so, as the cap is merely to reveal their age and social level. When kings, princes, or other people in positions of authority wear their caps to the right or left in Yoruba land, their followers are expected to wear theirs in the opposite direction out of respect. To discourage potential suitors, a prospective groom must always wear his cap facing toward the direction of his future spouse's home while in the vicinity. 3 Likes |

Curious345: As long as Igbos support IPOB and Biafra nation agitation, killing any of its agitators would only give birth to more agitators. Biafra is an idea in the mind of almost all Igbos across Nigeria and in Diaspora. The problem is that the Igbos can never live together as a nation in peace. Right from pre-colonial times, the Igbos have never lived together under one central government authority. They do not believe in submitting to established authority which is one of their greatest undoing in Nigerian politics. |
