See your government.

Unfortunately nobody is reviewing anything they will tag along

Psady:
And someone ,somewhere was writing how we stand to gain .gain what? the same France that never wanted the Cfa currency to be abandoned,later hijacked the new Eco currency to be it's prime administer.

mvem:
So you want Nigeria to accept the ECO currency that France has hijacked... They don't rush to accept stuffs like this. We have the largest economy in West Africa and we thread carefully because i don't trust this past Colonial powers

rusher14:


So it is out of Love that France is championing Eco?

Kwamecron:
We are not the same.

Biodun556:


As a matter of facts. African free trade agreement and ECO are programs designed by EU or why was UE giving out incentives to African countries that agreed to participate in the free trade agreement.

Built2last:
See your government.

Jonasbadoo:

No of course
It's for their selfish reasons
What I trying to tell that guy is that Nigeria will no longer be able to control the west African economy or even rescind this decision the francophone has taken already
Tbh France will be in charge of west African economy from 2020
NB: Francophone countries are more than Anglophone in West Africa

gloriaunobi:
That's not my problems but how do I migrate to Canada

Daviddson:
I'm not understanding. Does it mean the countries making up ECOWAS didn't vote on the adoption before the ECOWAS president or whoever was in charge, made a public declaration on it? This is quite silly.

And BTW Nigerias response is more mature - though both are still foolish responses, because it seems like it came as a shock to them.

APCNig:


[s]So you expect Nigeria to just accept it? You must be dreaming. Nigerria is West Africa, no Nigeria, no West Africa. We closed our boarders and all West African countries are crying and weeping. So, we take the shoots and as the Chairman, we speak last. If we Nigeria do not accept it, ECOWAS will have no other choice than to also rescind its decision, else we will muzzle ECOWAS to death. And with Major General Muhammadu Buhari on the seat, Nigeria can kill the whole ECOWAS economically.[/s]

Biodun556:


Eco has been hijacked by France and it will be printed by French central bank.Nigeria dont need that rubbish ECO

Danwakae:



You are off points


Read those two communique abi letter again

EzeIgbo1:

[s]Exactly. Nigerian youths shout with zero content in their dumb skulls.
They want Nigeria to jump on it because White France said so?
Before the Euro came the British pound was the strongest currency in that region so based on this they rejected the euro. How did that affect UK? It never affected her. They still remain stronger that the euro per strength of currency
Nigeria has the economy of west Africa in her pocket and this is our strength. None of the west African countries can rise above Nigeria even with the adoption of the eco.
Their economy would remain the same, their exports same, their GDP same. The chief beneficiary to this eco move would be France because they are the puppet masters and would continue leeching off west Africa through this new method of colonialism[/s]

karps:


He's not off point. Why did the UK refuse to adopt the Euro when they joined EU? Why did the EU bail out Ireland and Greece? While you're at it, read a bit about France's hold over Francophone West Africa.

Ifakiland:

I guess you did read the letter from Ghana, Nigeria isn't the chair of ecowas

Neoteny:
Common currency requires a lot of tradeoffs, and that's mainly why the UK is Brexiting the EU.
We shouldn't just rush into this as a lot of fiscal and physical restructuring is required, with many Ecowas countries having economies that cannot adapt.

adrian3000:

We're on the same page my dear

Awoo88:

My question is "why una dey like deceive una self". I did not asked you to accept or reject anything.

EzeIgbo1:
All of you who are shouting eco eco eco please travel to Europe and see how hard it is to make 100 euros.
Since they adopted euro average cost of living went up. France on its own is a very expensive country to live in all due to the pull of the euro Same would happen in the countries who accept eco. Everything will go up and you will pay through your nose for basic amenities.
Ghana after they redominated, experienced same thing. Standard of living became expensive for them. Many think twice before they spend 1 cedi. They tied their cedi to the dollar yet it did not help them. Now the eco is being tied to the euro and you expect a miracle?
The CFA was tied to the franc yet it did not work for francophone west Africa . Now they want to tie eco to the euro as another experiment with African countries Nigeria must not adopt the eco. Period!
