Mrs Eme Essien-Lore, Country Manager in Nigeria, International Finance Corporation, a member of the group, made the observation in an interview with journalsits in Lagos on Thursday. ”In our perspective and with the numbers that we have seen coming from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Nigeria’s economy has recorded about one per cent real growth. ”That is a bit lower than government’s expectation which is about 2.2 per cent growth for 2017. “It is a bit modest, but we certainly expect that the economy of Nigeria will rebound and recover from last year’s recession, ” she said.Essien-Lore commended Federal Government`s new economic plan, but said that there was need to set priorities for implementation of the plan by the year 2020.According to her, the plan is very comprehensive, ambitious and thoughtful.

HOLD BUHARI RESPONSIBLE IF NAIRA DEPRECIATES AGAINST DOLLARS – RENO OMOKRI CHARGES NIGERIANS Former Special Adviser to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan on Electronic Media, Reno Omokri, has called on Nigerians to hold President Muhammadu Buhari responsible if the naira suddenly starts depreciating. The former Presidential aide noted that while Buhari was on his medical vacation in London, the naira appreciated from ₦520 to $1 to ₦455 to $1 under the leadership of the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo. In a post on his Facebook page, the United States, US-based Pastor noted that should the naira depreciate, then Buhari is the problem. He wrote:  During President Muhammadu Buhari's absence, the Naira appreciated from ₦520 to $1 to ₦455 to $1 under Acting President Professor Yemi Osinbajo. Now that President Buhari is back, if the Naira suddenly starts to depreciate, then there can only be one conclusion: The problem is PMB himself. As Sir Walter Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes$ said 'wh...

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday had a closed door meeting with the senate President, Bukola Saraki and the speaker of the house of representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara. The president's meeting with Saraki and Dogara started around 12 noon, according to reports. This is president Buhari's first meeting with the lawmakers since he returned from London. The meeting is currently in progress at the president's office..

Guys what's your take on this.... As for me, I love it slim but not thin   Wishing them happy married life.

As we anxiously await cabinet shake-up by PMB, here are candid recommendations for sack: 1.Yemi Adeosun: the worst ever minister of finance. Naive, clueless with a false sense of achievement. 2. CBN governor: confused, naive and incompetent 3. Fashola: too busy doing absolutely nothing. He doesn't have a clue at all. He should be stripped of power and housing ministries. 4. Yemi Osibanjo: Was amazed when he blamed forex crisis on corruption n pipeline vandalism. He doesn't have a clue about the economy and therefore should be removed as the head of the economic team. A more competent technocrat should be appointed. 5. Udo Udoma: a disaster and a square peg in a round hole. Shouldn't have any business with budget and national planning. Ben Akabueze should replace him. 6. Customs boss: a disgrace to customs. A man with an ethnic agenda. 7. DSS boss: another man with an ethnic agenda. DSS is now an enemy of the people. 8. Babachir Lawal: an arrogant, clueless and corr...

My spirit took hold of my soul to a kingdom that wasn't bright but had a cloudy weather as if it wanted to rain, with lots of people without clothes in it, but weren't tormented. In the centre of that Kingdom was another small Kingdom that is fenced, painted with white paint, and they was light in it, the light was only in that fenced Kingdom. Those in the big Kingdom were walking round outside the fenced Kingdom Unclad, hoping to have access into it. I tried to look into the fenced kingdom to see if I can see people in there, then my spirit told my soul that I can't see them because am not there Lord.  I noticed that they was another Kingdom above me, then I tried to go up and have a look, I couldn't because the force was too heavy for me, so I retired to my spirit. When we got back to the earth, my spirit took my soul back to my body but refused to rest on it, instead he flew very high to the sky and looked at me then continued flying towards the moon, he went round t...

President Donald Trump’s administration issued a revised immigration ban Monday that temporarily freezes US visa issuance to anyone from six mostly-Muslim countries and halts for 120 days all refugee arrivals. Here are the key points: – What’s new in the revised order? – Iraq, which was targeted by the original January 27 travel ban, is excluded. Six other countries remain: Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Sudan, and Iran. The US says that none of the six can supply adequate identity and security information on their citizens to satisfy US needs to safely vet visa applicants. People with pre-existing, valid visas from the six countries will still be able to come to the United States. The original ban had extended to people with valid visas and even those with permanent residency, causing havoc at airport arrival halls and sparking a large number of legal challenges. – Why a revised order? – A Washington state judge halted implementation of the original order on February 3, ac...

I don't know how true is this story but according to Dennis who shared the story,a man was 'jazzed' by a lady after he failed to marry her.He later developed female pattern of breasts. I know that medically there is a condition known as gynecomastia where a male develops female type of breasts due to excessive female hormone secretions.But a good look at the man reveals that he has hairs on his face(bears and moustache).If it is really excessive female hormones,I don't expect him to have those hairs on his face.I may be wrong.Doctors in the house can give us a better explanation.

The sudden slide of the US dollar and other foreign currencies has made export to neighbouring countries such as Niger Republic, Burkina Faso and Chad unattractive, traders have said. Visits to Tsohuwar Kasuwa and other markets in Sokoto recently revealed that the number of trucks that load goods to Niger and Burkina Faso on daily basis has dropped drastically from about 20 to about five trucks. Merchants from the neighbouring countries had taken advantage of the depreciation of the naira in recent times to ship more goods out of the country with little amount of their currencies, especially the CFA.  Local traders who spoke to our reporter said merchants from neighbouring countries no longer found it attractive to exchange a CFA at N62 to do business in Nigeria even as the price of the goods still remained high at their markets. Alhaji Usman Salihu Mai Sugar, told our reporter that patronage by the merchants dropped since last week when the naira began to appreciate, adding “Befor...

North Korea on Monday fired four ballistic missiles into the sea off northwest of Japan, which appeared to be a promised retaliation over last Wednesday’s U.S.-South Korea military drills. North Korea saw the military drills as a preparation for war while the U.S and South Korea said it was a test of their defensive readiness against possible aggression from the North Korea. The launching of the missiles angered South Korea and Japan. South Korea’s military said the missiles were unlikely to have been intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), which can reach the United States. The missiles flew on average 1,000 km (620 miles) and reached a height of 260 km (160 miles) Some of the missiles landed in waters as close as 300 km (190 miles) from Japan’s northwest coast, Japan’s Defence Minister Tomomi Inada said in Tokyo. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said “strong protests” had been lodged with nuclear-armed North Korea, which has carried out a series of nuclear and miss...

In the absence of anything to show for its existence, since fraud is its very foundation, the Buhari government has elevated sterile propaganda, mindless mind-management, and thoughtless, unintelligent mendacity to an art. For starters, as I pointed out in my Facebook status update, which went viral and shaped national discourse on the Buhari government, the president has 9 media aides. Yes, 9, not 6 as previously thought! They are Femi Adesina (Special Adviser, Media & Publicity); Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant, Media & Publicity); Tolu Ogunlesi (Special Assistant, Digital & New Media); Lauretta Onochie (Personal Assistant, Social Media); Bashir Ahmad (Personal Assistant, New media); Sha’aban Sharada (Personal Assistant, Broadcast Media); Naziru Muhammed (Personal Assistant, TV Documentary); Sunday Aghaeze (Personal Assistant, Photography); and Bayo Omoboriowo (Personal Assistant/ President’s Photographer). All of these aides also have a retinue of other aides. For...
