| Politics / 10 Things That Keep Nigerians Talking About Lai Mohammed by Gerarahere: 4:31pm On Feb 18, 2016 |
Lai Mohammed, former spokesman of the All Progresive Congress and the current minister of Information is one politicians that has got Nigerians talking in recent times. From the time he was APC spokesman, till now that he is a minister, Lai has continued to keep the people informed about national issues. One thing that people keep attacking him for, is his continuous blame game. It appears former president Goodluck Jonathan is to blame for every bad situation in the country. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why Lai Mohammed has been on the lips of Nigerians. 1. When he said Boko Haram had been defeated despite recent attacks. 2. Then he blamed former president, Goodluck Jonathan for fuel scarcity. 3. He told Nigerians that the fuel scarcity would last for a few days but it ended up lasting for weeks. 4. When he said the federal government has been fighting corruption, but corruption has now started to fight back the government. 5. That time Nigerians lambasted him for saying Jonathan bought expired and substandard weapons to fight the Boko Haram insurgency. Maybe we Shld Beg Ozil to Assist Lai Mohammed 2 become a truthful fellow.E.g he said GEJ Bought no arms,later he said He Bought Okirika arms — JAGABAN (@UNCLE_AJALA) February 18, 2016 6. In defence of President Muhammadu Buhari’s frequent foreign trips, he said Nigeria was becoming a “pariah state” under Jonathan and the president was traveling to reverse that status. Lai Mohammed calling Nigeria a ‘pariah State’ under Jonathan was barefaced falsehood. Nigeria was not a pariah state under Jonathan. — #BringBackOurGirls (@Nedunaija) February 18, 2016 7. The minister disowned a budgetary allocation of N398 million in the budget of his ministry for 2016. 8. One time, he said the spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was untrainable and out of control. 9. So committed to his party and good at informing the masses, that he was appointed minister of information by President Muhammadu Buhari. 10. That one time he officially officially addressed the issue of some Nigerians saying his first name ‘Lai’ was synonymous with ‘lie.’ Those who says that the devil is a liar have probably never heard Lai Mohammed speak — Petuk Ekpedeme (@Petukjr) February 18, 2016 |

Biafra agitators not to
disrupt the peace of the

their agitation to the right
channel – The inspector general
warned that officers would
deal with erring agitators Solomon Arase, the inspector
general of police has issued
stern warning to members of
the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) not to carry
arms. A report credited to the group
informed that they have
decided to start bearing arms as a way to defend
themselves against security
operatives. They claimed members of their group were
maltreated and killed by
security operatives during
protests and vowed to activate
a self-defence mode. Solomon Arase warns IPOB
members PM News reports that in a
statement issued by Olabisi
Kolawole, the public relations
officer of the police force,
Arase warned the agitators not
to bear arms. READ ALSO: Biafrans plan to open embassies in other
countries “The attention of the
Nigeria Police Force has
been drawn to a publication
credited to the Indigenous
People of Biafra “to carry
guns in self defence”. “The inspector-general of
Police has sternly warned
members of the IPOB to
reconsider their stand or
face the wrath of the
extant laws on bearing of firearms.” The inspector general warned
that there will be severe
consequences against
individuals who dared to face
security operatives in their
discharge of duties or make life difficult for law=abiding
citizens. He urged members of the
group to channel their
grievances to the appropriate
quarters and anyone who
oversteps his or her boundary
would be dealt with. “Members of the group
should therefore note that
it is an offence punishable
under the criminal Law of
the Federation of Nigeria
for a person to have in his possession or under his
control any prohibited
firearms without licence or
permit.” “The IPOB are advised to
be guided in respect of the
above as the Police Force
is poised to uphold the
existing restriction over
the use of firearms.” READ ALSO: Ezeife accuses Buhari of trying to reduce Igbo
population He assumed Nigerians of his

inspector generals and state
commands commissioners of
police were directed to strictly
enforce the laws against the
use of illegal firearms across the length and breadth of the
country. However,IPOB has denied that it has resolved to start
carrying guns to confront
attacks from the security
agencies who have been killing their members during
protest and prayer sessions.
The group insists it is a non-
violent one and will achieve its
aim without violence.

| Business / Naira Depreciates Further To N385/$, N505/£ In Parallel Market by Gerarahere: 12:04am On Feb 18, 2016 |
By Babajide Komolafe The naira on Wednesday
depreciated further to N385 per
dollar in the parallel market as
demand for foreign exchange
intensified in the market. This implies the naira has
depreciated by N60 against the
dollar this week in the parallel
market, when compared with the
closing exchange rate of N325
per dollar Friday last week. The currency however remained
stable at the official interbank
foreign exchange market as the
interbank rate closed
N199.34. Thus the gap between the
interbank and parallel market
rates widened to N185.66 per
dollar from N127.53 Friday last
week. Vanguard investigation also
reveals that the naira
depreciated against the British
Pounds to N505 per pounds in
the parallel market implying N65
depreciation when compared with the closing rate of N440
Friday last week. Investigations reveal that the
sharp depreciation of the naira in
the parallel market this week is
driven by increasing demand by
importers sourcing dollars to pay
for imports from China. According to a BDC operator
who spoke on condition of
anonymity, “You know China
had been on its one month
annual holidays. But they
resumed work on Monday, and people have to complete
payment for goods ordered
before the holidays. They had
made 30 per cent down payment
to order the goods and they now
have to pay the 70 percent balance otherwise they will lose
the 30 percent. That is why they
are desperate and ready to buy
dollars at any rate. Meanwhile
supply is scarce and those who
have dollars are not willing to sell because they might also
need the currency soon”. The naira has been on steady
decline since Tuesday January
12 2016, when the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
stopped weekly dollar sale to
BDCs. Prior to this action, the
naira traded at N265 per dollar in
the parallel market.
Consequently the naira has depreciated by N80 in the
parallel market since the CBN
took the action. 1 Share

shun the violence The Nigerian army plans to
relocate one of its brigades to

(IPOB) and the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign
States of Biafra (MASSOB). Brigadier General Lawrence
Fejokwu, commanding officer
of 14 Brigade Ohafia, noted
this adding that Aba had
become a hot spot because of
the activities of the Biafrans campaigning for the
actualization of a sovereign
state of Biafra, as well as the
revival of kidnapping and
sundry crimes. READ ALSO: Gunfire and casualtes reported at IPOB

myself with my location
and men. My decision is
that Aba have continued to
be a hot spot especially on
the activities of IPOB and MASSOB and the issue of
kidnapping. To this effect, I
have decided to, after due
clearance with my boss,
the GOC, to relocate our
tactical headquarters from Ohafia to Aba to see how
far we can go in arresting
the situation. “In doing so, I urge the
IPOB and MASSOB to
rescind their decision to
bear arms and stop acts of
violence and channel their
grievances to the appropriate authorities.” Brigadier rejected reports that
soldiers killed protesters in
Aba, but accepted some of
them were detained and later
handed over to the police. He vowed to dialogue with the

| Business / Naira Falling Against US Dollar Again, Hits N352 - USD1 by Gerarahere: 1:31pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
– The Naira is continuing to dive against the US Dollar. – Parallel market traders are now selling at N352 – USD1. – President Buhari continues to maintain that he will not devalue the currency. The Nigerian Naira has continued its unprecedented freefall in value against the US Dollar. Our national currency is now valued at N352 to USD1 on the parallel market, falling in value from N347 to the dollar yesterday. While some market operators did sell at N352 – USD1 yesterday, the market rate appears to have been in flux between N347 – N352. READ ALSO: Ondo state man arrested for decapitating niece Foreign exchange dealers have said that the increasing pressure on the Naira is caused by high demand for the dollar by importers and speculators. The Central Bank of Nigeria remains doggedly determined to maintain its policy of pegging the Naira to N197 – USD1. Market analysts and CEO of Economic Associates Dr. Ayo Teriba, said the Nigerian economy should not have been allowed to deteriorate to its current point.

The global environment has liquidity now that Nigeria can attract,” he said. “The situation is not like 1986 when the global environment was tight.” Despite the economic turmoil caused by the Naira’s slump in value, President Muhammadu Buhari has reiterated that he will not consider devaluing the national currency. The president believes that devaluing the Naira will only cause disaster for Nigeria’s poorest people and will in fact increase inflation.

Am amazed how people discuss my tribe everyday,either for or against. There is no day I have come to nairaland ,without seeing a topic on igbos or biafra or ipob or Masson. I read and read and see what people say about us. Ever since I join nairaland,I saw e-wars especially with the yorubas,I saw hate,anger,vengeance,heartbreak,tribalism,nepotism, and this has opened my eyes to know who is who,if I have friends from other regions,I despise and spy on them to avoid mistakes. Nairaland showed me the characters of ethnic groups and am careful. It happens to be that igbos are the most attacked people in Nigeria,cybertically and physically. Shallon 3 Likes |
