This looks like another loan, from Hong Kong (China). The loan is to be repaid by giving 99 years concession to a Chinese company. angry

We should not allow a foreign country to control our ports.

Crime / Re: UN Asks Nigeria To End Death Penalty, Rights Violations by panpan(m): 11:12am On Jan 24
The Human Rights Council of the United Nations (UN) is just a tool to control nations under the guise of "human rights".
The Human Rights Council is not really concerned about death penalty in Nigeria; they are just trying to see how far they can bully nations into submission, using Nigeria as a test case.

Politics / Re: FG Seeks $1.5bn Loans To Shore Up Naira, Boost Budget by panpan(m): 12:06pm On Jan 18
When the federal government takes external loans, they are indirectly taking money from the Nigerian population through naira devaluation, increase in the price of petroleum products, and general inflation.

Crime / Re: Police Arrest Seven High Ranking Cultists In Lagos by panpan(m): 3:58pm On Jan 13
In the first place, what does cultist or cultism mean?
There probably isn't any clear definition?

What was the offence of the seven suspects?
Did the police just raid two groups of people, and tag them as "cultists"?
Agriculture / Re: Nigeria Approves Commercial Release Of GM Maize Varieties by panpan(m): 7:04pm On Jan 12
TELA Maize Technology
Investors:
Project activities are funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Howard G. Buffet Foundation and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).


Considering that the goal of one of the investors is to depopulate the world, we should be careful about this technology, and if possible, reject it.
Is this the reason behind the attacks on farmlands and village communities in several parts of the country?

Business / Re: CBN Approves cNGN "Stablecoin" For February Launch by panpan(m): 9:46pm On Jan 05
Abee79:
What's the point of this innovation? I really want to know

The purpose of this innovation is control.

At present, if an individual "misbehaves", and his bank account gets frozen by the federal government; the person can go to court and seek relief, or he may decide to operate out of the banking system with cash. However, with the elimination of cash and the enforcement of digital currency nationwide, it becomes easy for the federal government to block or delete a digital account, without the use of the courts or commercial banks.

This control also extends to nations; if a country does not do the bidding of a foreign or international group, instead of imposing economic sanctions, it would be easy to block or delete that country's digital account.

Business / Re: CBN Approves cNGN "Stablecoin" For February Launch by panpan(m): 9:28pm On Jan 05
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to introduce central bank digital currency (CBDC or enaira).
Not surprisingly, the adoption was extremely low.

The CBN then went on a cash confiscation project, probably to test the waters, to know whether they can use that as an excuse to force enaira on the population.
Fortunately, the cash confiscation project also failed.

At present, a more gradual cash scarcity has been introduced. The CBN is still determined to bring forth central bank digital currency; this time, it is called Nigeria Naira (cNGN) stablecoin.

The IMF is not interested in Nigeria's development. The IMF's goal is to control the finances of the Nigerian population.

Politics / Re: Tinubu To Sign Executive Order To Dissuade Nigerians From Hoarding Cash - Osoba by panpan(m): 4:12pm On Jan 02
There is, most probably, a foreign or international order on Nigeria to eliminate cash.
The federal government has tried to comply with this order.

The former Central Bank governor, Emefiele, used a cash recolouring and cash confiscation method, but it was resisted.
Now, the federal government is trying to use more gradual and subtle methods to eliminate cash from the society.
Family / Re: How Can Husband Be AA And Wife Is AS, And Baby Is SS? by panpan(m): 12:28pm On Dec 31, 2023
Malawian:
Explain this.

Twins.. One is AA , second is SS

If both parents are AS, there is a 25% chance of each child being AA, and a 25% chance of each child being SS.
In this scenario, it is possible for fraternal or non-identical twins to have different genotypes, that is, either twin could be AA, AS or SS.
Business / Re: E-naira Jumps By 284%, Notes Decline To N2.7 Trillion – CBN by panpan(m): 11:36am On Dec 29, 2023
Someone in the federal government, or Central Bank, is trying to justify the nationwide cash scarcity.
It appears as if Nigeria is being used as a test case for the elimination of cash from the society.

Politics / Re: CBN Directs Banks To Disregard Initial Ban On Cryptocurrency by panpan(m): 1:03am On Dec 23, 2023
In February 2021, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) restricted the use of cryptocurrency in Nigeria, because the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) complained that 200 to 300 million dollars was transferred each week from the United States (US) to Nigeria using cryptocurrency.

The restriction only served the interests of the United States. The US did not ban cryptocurrency in their own country.

The lifting of this restriction is a welcome development.
