What Central Bank? I Am In Charge Of The Naira

What Central Bank? I Am In Charge Of The Naira – Buhari Tells BBC

President Muhammadu Buhari has again, made it clear that he has usurped the role of the Central Bank Governor and his managing the monetary policy of Nigeria by himself. Buhari made this disclosure, regrettably, to the foreign press on his current UK trip. This disclosure comes on the heels of a falling Naira and a collapsing economy. The CBN Act of 2007 of the Federal Republic of Nigeria gave the Bank the overall control and administration of the monetary and financial sector policies of the Federal Government. One of the objectives of the CBN under the act is to “ensure monetary and price stability.” Buhari has made it clear that he is playing the role of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria reducing the CBN’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) ineffective. Speaking to BBC, on Friday, February 5, 2016, Buhari insisted that devaluation of the Naira was against his personal beliefs and since he didn’t see any value in the move, he was not going to devalue the Naira. “I am yet to be convinced,” Buhari said. The Nigerian President said he would “have to be convinced beyond reasonable doubt that devaluing the naira was the best course of action before approving such and that so far he is not”. This is the second time in as many weeks that Buhari would make this assertion about defending the Naira. The first was at a town hall meeting with Nigerians in Ethiopia last week. But this time, he used much stronger words like “murder the Naira” and “kill the Naira”. “I have asked governor of central bank others to sit and see if they can convince me to murder the Naira. I went through devaluation in 1984. It’s SAP that killed the Naira,” he said. Analysts have slammed Buhari’s approach to the management of the Naira. Bloomberg has declared that Buhari’s role of governor of the CBN was unproductive to the Nigeria. The difference between official exchange rates and the parallel market is at an all time high to the detriment of small businesses and the economy. Buhari also declared that Ibrahim Babangida’s Structural Adjustment Programme of the 80s was responsible for the fall in the value of the Naira. General Ibrahim Babangida ousted General Buhari from power in a well-received military coup in 1985. He ruled Nigeria as a military head of state from 1985 to 1993.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his Facebook profile and via press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of wo...

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...
