This is happening a country where a pastor is the Acting President.

The best thread i have seen in ages on NL.

I never knew i was the only one seeing this possible trend.

The north has never been known to do favors for Ibos so why the sudden change in character.

Both the north and ibos stand to loose as a result of this ultimatum: so why will the north champion what they know will not favor them.

The northern born-to-rule mentality is real, disregard it at your own peril.

What will happen if they succeed with their suspected plan to stop the VP from becoming president? Who will stop them or what will be done?


Regarding the hate trend on NL
I think it will increase traffic and user activity for the blog. In the end its all about business. NL is not an NGO

My take on Vue Js:

PROS
Easy and faster to learn (compared to react and angular 2)
Integrates well with Laravel (most popular framework in php and Express/nodejs)
Light weight
Can be used to build hybrid frameworks (with the help of additional resources like wix, framework7 etc)
Has a really cool material design based CSS framwork like bootstrap 4 (See vuetify)
Is growing more popular each day.

CONS
Is not backed by a tech giant company.

Its your choice

Mortiple:
I remain a Igbo man and a Nigerian.

The quit notice is a calculated attempt to cause disaffection in the polity thereby destabilizing Osinbajo's govt. If you doubt me, ask yourself why has Boko Haram insurgency resume in full gear after they were "technically defeated" when PMB was...?

Thats a valid point.

Its also possible the north is preparing the stage for a (Northern) Military Coupe if Osibanjo decides to go to polls in 2019.

May God protect the women and children .

abu12:
nigeria army is only trying to create enable enveroment for peace, so that d SE region will b able .2 attract foriegn investors 2 their region

Is the region currently facing any form of conflict?

Following op's logic, it then means that after more than one year of fighting corruption and removing the stolen loot, things should be getting better.

Rather that is not the case.
Care to explain?

Aisha is complaining about the same Daura gang. The point is that whether Buhari currently has alzheimers or not he is clearly not the one leading ruling the country.


Is Nigeria on Autopilot?
Who is the one ruling Nigeria?

The House of Representatives in Nigeria is urging the Federal Ministry of Agriculture to formulate a policy that would include Electronic Animal Identification System.

Lawmakers believe the identification system will eradicate the problem of cattle rustling.

This resolution followed a motion sponsored by Representative Ali Isa which noted that crimes related to cattle rustling had become more rampant across states.

The lawmaker said it was imperative for the government to consider adopting modern means of capturing, such as the Electronic Animal Identification System, to tackle the menace.

Cattle rustling has been on the increase in some states in the norther part of Nigeria, with troops of the Nigerian Army arresting some rustlers.
Troops-clear-hideouts
An armed bandit’s hideout set on fire

In September, troops of the Nigerian Army destroyed hideouts of livestock rustlers and armed bandits in operations military said were tremendously successful.

The feat was in continuation of a clearance operation against all suspected livestock rustlers and armed bandits’ and destruction of their camps and hideouts in Nigeria, especially in the northwest region.

Troops of 223 Battalion, One Brigade of One Division on September 24 raided suspected livestock rustlers and armed bandits’ camps at Tofa forest in Gusau Local Government Area (LGA) of Zamfara State.

During the operation, an armed bandit was killed while few others sustained gunshot wounds.

The troops recovered a Dane gun, two locally made pistols and four motorcycles while the camps were destroyed in line with established procedure.

The Army spokesman, Colonel Sani Usman, revealed in a statement on Saturday that the troops also went on a long-range patrol along Dumburum-Batsari forest axis in Zurmi LGA of Zamfara State and part of Katsina State.

On October 1, troops of One Division, Nigerian Army conducted clearance operations within Kaduna and Katsina states in continuation with the operations against livestock rustlers, armed bandits and kidnappers within their area of operations.

In Katsina State, the troops carried out a joint patrol at Nashambe village near Karoki in which two suspected livestock rustlers, Lawali Nakaduna and Yahuza Suleiman were arrested in Jibia Local Government Area and handed over to the Police.

The troops also arrested a notorious livestock rustler and armed bandit, Gide Maikwasara, who was shot while attempting to escape.

It's sad only 10% of the people above me read the post. Everybody thinks the post was primarily about Tinubu.

Follow Nigerians, we can't be lazy and expect our children to be hard working.

Please it will not kill you, go back to the first page and read the full post.

If a bus conductor lied to our face about which bus stop we got into the bus in order to unjustly add the sum of N30 to our bus fare we would scream, insult and threaten to fight.
However, a politician does the same with our future and the future of our children in order to mask his administration's unproductivity and this is all we do.

Insanity is to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.

We are in this mess today because we value our petty change more than our future.

Leading international business publication, The Financial Times UK has described the economic policies of the Buhari administration as the ‘height of foolishness’.

Steve Johnson, Deputy editor of the FT’s EM Squared section wrote

Copying Venezuela’s exchange rate policy and China’s failed equity market strategy might seen the height of foolishness.

The entire article is reproduced here:

Nigeria plans to create a $25 billion fund with public and private financing to modernize infrastructure and avoid a recession.

Copying Venezuela’s exchange rate policy and China’s failed equity market strategy might seem the height of foolishness.

But, at least in the opinion of John Ashbourne, Africa economist at Capital Economics, that is precisely what Nigeria, the continent’s largest economy, has just done.

“Low oil prices are battering Nigeria’s export-dependent economy, but it’s the government’s market-distorting response that risks pushing the country into a Venezuela-style crisis,” Mr Ashbourne says.

“Nigeria is sliding towards a Venezuela-style FX regime and adopting a Chinese-style stock market circuit breaker. Neither will reassure foreign investors, many of whom seem to be eyeing the exits.”

Both measures were announced after markets closed on Friday, January 15.

The circuit breaker on the Nigerian stock exchange, one of the worst performing in the world this year with a fall of 17.7 per cent, will pause trading for 30 minutes if stock prices fall 5 per cent. Trading will cease for the day if it is triggered twice in a session, or after 1.45pm.

This month, Beijing abandoned a similar policy after just four days, concluding that in a falling market the existence of the circuit breaker encouraged more selling as traders rushed to exit while they could.

“The effect is akin to calling last orders at a crowded bar,” Mr Ashbourne says. “It is hardly confidence-inspiring that Nigeria is copying a Chinese policy that is widely seen to have failed.”

He accepts that Nigeria’s circuit breaker may not be as badly designed as the Chinese version. Whereas the NSE All Share index rarely falls by 5 per cent a day, the Shanghai Composite did so a dozen times in 2015. The NSE’s version has not yet been called into action.

Nevertheless, Mr Ashbourne says that using a circuit breaker to shore up the market, rather than to avoid volatility, is “deeply flawed”.

Simultaneously, the central bank has said it will stop selling US dollars into the interbank FX market.

Nigeria has operated a de facto twin currency system for the naira since February 2015, when the bank held the official interbank rate at N199 to the dollar to avoid a spike in inflation. The unofficial rate, available at bureaux de change, has plunged to N300/$, as the first chart shows.

However Mr Ashbourne argues the latest move takes Nigeria a step along the road to a Venezuela-style scenario, where the dollar now buys 913 bolívars on the black market, according to dolartoday.com, compared with an unofficial rate of 6.28/$.

“Suspending US dollar sales to the interbank market will force consumers and firms to source dollars at bureaux de change,” he says, while providing an implicit subsidy for companies and individuals with the connections needed to access the official rate.

As the second chart shows, Nigeria’s reluctance to let the naira’s official exchange rate weaken means it has borne the brunt of the sharp fall in oil prices since the middle of 2014.

In naira terms, the oil price has fallen from $115 a barrel to around $35, with the modicum of weakening permitted so far doing little to take the edge off the fall in oil prices to $28 in dollar terms.

In contrast, Russia, which has allowed the rouble to fall sharply, is still seeing oil prices of around $65 in local currency terms, with many other oil exporters such as Brazil and Azerbaijan also seeing more cushioning of the blow than Nigeria.

Charles Robertson, chief global economist at Renaissance Capital, who drew up the second chart, expects Nigeria to bow to the seemingly inevitable and devalue the naira, given that his calculation of fair value is N305/$, very close to the current black market rate.

He notes that frontier market funds are now underweight Nigerian equities, and believes that international investors “are likely to remain on the sidelines,” barring an obvious catalyst for change.

Nevertheless he believes a devaluation to N250/$, “while no longer sufficient to ease all dollar shortages … would be good enough to warrant investors taking a fresh look at Nigeria, especially if they expect a rebound in the oil price”.

Daniel Salter, global equity strategist at RenCap, has been busy analysing just when equity market investors should consider returning to a freshly devalued Nigeria, if history is anything to go by.

Mr Salter analysed 13 emerging market currency devaluations since 1994 in countries ranging from Mexico and Turkey to Egypt and South Korea.

His conclusions are that it is rarely worth buying in anticipation of a currency devaluation and that, on average, equity markets do not hit their low point (in dollar terms) until 99 days after the start of the currency devaluation.

This delay can vary significantly, though, as the final chart shows. In the case of South Korea in 1997 the stock market troughed the day before the won started to fall. In Nigeria itself, in 2009, this point was reached after 35 days.

However in the cases of Thailand (1997), the Philippines (1998) and Egypt (2001), it would have paid equity market investors to stay out for at least six months.

Mr Salter believes the lag is due to two factors: the initial devaluation is often insufficient to stabilise the currency; and that devaluations frequently coincide with banking crises.

Unfortunately, this analysis probably tells us little about how Nigeria’s equity market is likely to behave in the year after any devaluation.

In the 13 previous episodes, the stock market typically fell 3 per cent in dollar terms in the three months after the start of the devaluation. However, as the above chart shows, there has been huge variability in this figure, from -56 per cent in Mexico in 1994-1995 to +100 per cent in South Korea in 1997-98.

Likewise, on average the typical stock market gained 4 per cent in dollar terms in the year after the devaluation, but once again this is the average of a widely dispersed data set, with the returns ranging from -86 per cent (Indonesia, 1997-98) to +172 per cent (South Korea).

The sector breakdown perhaps delivers a clearer message. RenCap found that consumer staples stocks have tended to outperform in the 12 months after the start of a devaluation, while consumer discretionary companies and industrials tend to pick up once the currency has bottomed.

Financial stocks, in contrast, tend to be the worst sector in the year after a devaluation, probably due to declining credit quality.

Choose or Loose: President Goodluck Jonathan

I could not believe this was GEJ talking after watching this interview.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8516qSDuzc

TRUTHTELA: NSA, must go was Bokoharam's first condition for negotiations and your president just met the condition.He failed to learn from history, obviously his end is near.

I think OUR president knws this already. Maybe he has sum kind of plan.....time will tell.

Jona has enemies that are pillars in pdp who are funding boko haram. Jona lacks wat it takes 2 fight them head-on. Azazi knw abt these enemies n tried 2 xpose them in his statement in april. This move by Azazi pissed off a few bosses in pdp, and now Azazi is gone.
All jona appears 2b doin is fightin d mass produced pawns of his enemies (B.H). This action clearly is not working.
May God save us in Nigeria!
