THE POVERTY CANCER HAS TOTALLY CONSUMED THE GIANT OF AFRICA.

A new poverty virus christened “Multi-dimensional” by Nigeria’s National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), is currently consuming 63% or 133 million of the over 200 million population – and it is official!

The Breaking News released from the NBS Portal Thursday 17th November 2022, were the results of the 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), Survey which was a collaborative effort between NBS, the National Social Safety-nets Co-ordinating Office (NASSCO), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHDI).

The survey which sampled over 56,000 households across the 36 States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was conducted between November 2021 and February 2022 and provides multidimensional poverty estimates at senatorial District level.

Although the polymathic index of the virus exceeded the World Bank’s 2018 projection, the good news is that this brand is not “terminal” by nature even when not less than three of every five rural Nigerian were already “infected”!

In its overview on Nigeria’s economy the global bank in that year believed that although Nigeria made some significant progress in socio-economic terms its human capital development remained weak due to under investment and that it ranked 152 of 157 countries in the world.

The report further stated that if international crude oil price slided below USD $50 dollars, Nigeria would go into recession and that by the year 2030, thirty million Nigerians would become poorest of the poor globally!

In simple deduction, the 30 million figure of the World Bank’s statistics which predicted future poverty Index in 2030, is a far cry to the Federal Government’s Survey astronomical figure of 133 million presently in existence – in the NOW!

BUT WE DISMISSED - OPPOSED THE “OBNOXIOUS” WORLD BANK REPORT AND THE UNITED NATIONS SIMILAR REPORT OF 2016!

In 2016 the United Nations report tagged Common Country Analysis (CCA) adjudged Nigeria as one of the poorest countries in terms of per capita income in the world.

In the year 2017 it was reported that poverty-stricken Nigerians depended mostly on remittances from the diaspora as economic crisis bit harder in the first quarter and also in June 2018 second quarter, Nigeria according to World Poverty Clock (WPC), revealed that the country had about 87 million people living in poverty as against India's 73 million!

The adage which states that every LIE has a terminal date has dawned on all of us who were antagonistic to the accuracy of the various international perception index and will henceforth repent!

Since previous LIES in respect of the state of the Nigerian economy had been exposed, the only option open to a nepotic, tribalistic, die-hard, impunistic, wicked, culpable, complicit and clueless APC Government under the Watch of the Major General Muhammadu Buhari, was to come out CLEAN!

NIGERIA'S PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS TOO CHEAP AND TOO CORRUPT!

The outgoing Major General Muhammadu Buhari promised in his desperation for a second term in 2019 that he would tackle poverty and will ensure that 100 million people were taken out of poverty in ten years at the rate of  10 million per annum – and now in 2022, the NBS says 133 million Nigerians are swimming in the ocean of poverty! Who is fooling who?

The National MPI Survey is 0.257 indicating that poor people in Nigeria experience just over one-quarter of all possible deprivations.

Sixty-five per cent of the poor (86 million people) live in the North, while 35% (nearly 47 million), live in the South. 

Poverty levels across States vary significantly, with the incidence of multidimensional poverty ranging from a low of 27% in Ondo to a high of 91% in Sokoto.

Over half of the population of Nigeria are multidimensional poor and cook with dung, wood or charcoal, rather than clean energy.

High deprivations are, also apparent nationally in sanitation, time to healthcare, food insecurity, and housing.

Also featured in the MPI Survey are that poorest States which included Sokoto, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Kebbi, Gombe and Yobe. 

Two-thirds (67.5%) of children aged (0-17) are multi-dimensionally poor according to the National MPI and half (51%) of all poor people are children.

Twenty nine per cent (29%), of all school-age children are not attending School while 94% of all out-of-school children are poor. Child poverty reduction is top national policy according to the report.

In general, the incidence of monetary poverty is lower than the incidence of multidimensional poverty across most States.

In Nigeria 40.1% of people are poor according to the 2018- 2019 national poverty monetary line and 63% are multidimensional poor according to the National MPI 2022.

RURAL AND CHILD POVERTY ACROSS GEO-POLITICAL ZONES!

Multidimensional poverty is higher in the rural areas where 72% of the people are poor compared to 42% of people in urban areas.

The highest deprivations are in the indicator of child engagements – where over half of all children lack the intellectual stimulation that is pivotal to early childhood development. Child poverty is prevalent in rural areas with almost 90% of rural children experiencing poverty.

Across the geo-political zones the child MPIshows higher poverty in the North-East and North-West (where 90% of children are poor) and lower poverty in the South East and Southwest (74% and 65.1% respectively).

The incidence of child MPI is above 50% in all states and greater than 95% in Bayelsa, Sokoto, Gombe and Kebbi. Four million Nigerians – 2.1% of the population - live with a child aged 15-17 who is the first generation in that household to have completed primary School!

THE WAY OUT OF THIS QUAGMIRE IS A PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER AND FAITHFUL PARLIAMENTARIANS IN THE YEAR 2023 FROM ALL THE LOCAL COUNCIL AREAS OF NIGERIA!

VOICE POPULI VOICE DEI !

NIGERIAN YOUTHS SHOULD HENCEFORTH GUARD ALL INEC FACILITIES PRO BONO!

One attack too many on government strategic infrastructures!

Outside of Correctional Institution and Police Station buildings across   Nigeria, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Offices have become targets of arsonists as the 2023 General Elections approach.

Two INEC Office Facilities in Ogun and Osun South West Nigeria were simultaneously attacked and conflagrated early Tuesday 8th November 2022, to disenfranchise 65,699 Nigerians whose Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), were trapped in the Abeokuta inferno!

Nigeria's nascent democracy, a product of 30 years of illegal military occupation has witnessed quadrennial/off season electoral violence and all forms of malpractices from 1999 to date unabated!

The inordinate ambition for political power in the diarchy that should take the blame but consecutive administrations treaded the path of deceit that inadequate strength of security personnel in the Armed Forces, Police and para-military which is overstretched beyond limit was responsible!

According to INEC, there had been 50 attacks on its facilities in 21 States in recent years between February 2019 to date and hardly had anyone being caught, investigated or prosecuted so far!

Other Items destroyed in Abeokuta, Ogun State included 904 ballot boxes 29 voting cubicles, 30 megaphones, 57 election bags and eight electric power generators while only a portion of the Ede’s Office in Osun was burnt down!

A CALL TO NATIONAL DUTY FOR PATRIOTIC NIGERIAN YOUTHS!

Who were the criminal arsonists that attacked the two INEC Facilities? 

Indigenous youths who could scale perimeter fences with ease at an unholy hour of 01.40 am when law-abiding citizens were in bed? 

Youths with pre-meditated plans who also torched adjoining buildings with BREAD LOAVES heavily soaked in PMS (petrol)!

And who were the eyewitnesses of all the events which details were given with much accuracy?

The Local Youths who should have formed vigilante groups to watch over the facilities as contribution of their civic duties to the nation!

For the umpteenth time, We call on our youths – able-bodied men and women (60%) of the population to take advantage of the 2023 General Elections which will debut with the introduction of electronic BIVAS, the digital device that will capture both photos and fingerprints of all voters on the election dates and authenticate that every vote counted through electronic transmission of Ward Results to INEC Portals.

It is strongly believed that patriotic local youths in all the Local Government Areas of Nigeria can form formidable vigilante groups to monitor and protect all government institutions and buildings within their neighborhoods as their own contribution to national Security without expecting Naira and Kobo from any quarters instead of lending themselves to dubious politicians who do not care about their welfare! IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING!

We are championing and campaigning that there should be no violent agitations but that all patriotic Nigerians, especially the youths, should demand for REFERENDUM that will provide opportunity to vote for the enactment of a unicameral parliamentary constitution through which a PRIME MINISTER will emerge in 2023!

Of the four major political candidates making waves, none of them is fit to govern this country because they all have skeletons in their cupboards!

With a unicameral parliamentary system of government in place the youths will have the opportunity to elect one of their own candidate from the smaller parties or an independent candidate to fill the position of Prime Minister while several of them will become parliamentarians and a new Nigeria of our collective dreams will emerge!

A REFERENDUM EXERCISE TAKES PLACE IN ONE DAY AND EVERY DECISION VOTED FOR BECOME LAW AND SACROSANCT FOR IMPLEMENTATION BY THE GOVERNMENT IN POWER!

Please share with friends on all social networks and the internet for wider coverage.

DIASPORA NIGERIANS ARE ECONOMIC POWER BROKERS!

DIASPORA NIGERIANS ARE ECONOMIC POWER BROKERS!

Brain drain in every field of study in Nigeria had been so commonplace since independence in 1960 because the indigenous government could not offer adequate educational facilities needed by the youthful and exuberant population.

 In droves Nigerian youths took off to Britain and other European countries to look for greener pastures. As at that period in history, foreign countries encouraged migration to boost their workforce  and they had no reason to travel through the Sahara Desert or Libya, neither flaunt illegal papers nor travel documents as originals to get to their various destinations.

Visa was generously issued to all who would rather go to other countries and develop hosts economies to the detriment of their own native lands. 

 

MIGRATION FROM NIGERIA TO OTHER COUNTRIES EVENTUALLY TOOK DESPERATE DIMENSIONS!

Following the military interregnum from 1966-1979, Biafra War, July 1967-Jan. 1970, migration of youths from Nigeria took fearful dimension to escape the bloody, cruel, gruesome and very devastating atrocities that accompanied the calamities!

In addition, maladministration  coupled with gross mismanagement of the economy, abuse of power and institutional endemic corruption became the hallmark of the Military which had no qualms about the most unfortunate plight of the citizenry!

Thousands of thousands of the desperate youths still departed the shores of Nigeria especially when the twin evil of tribalism and religion were surreptitiously introduced to aggravate conflicts through persecution and deprivation/violations of fundamental human rights by pseudo administrators in government!

As at June 2022, there were about fifteen to twenty million Nigerians domicile in the UK, USA, and South Africa. 

ADVANTAGES OF DIASPORA REMITTANCES!

Diaspora remittances had always represented a buffer zone to Nigeria's economy whenever it is at its lowest ebb. At all times since independence these monetary transactions had provided the basic amenities which government at all levels failed to supply the Citizens.

Diaspora Nigerians in the year 2012, contributed a whooping sum of USD$12 billion dollars, to the Nigerian economy, annual revenue more than those of 34 States put together! Annual remmitance is pegged at USD$25billion.

However not all those who migrated to foreign countries were good ambassadors of their native lands. Some of them did drugs and committed nefarious crimes but were always fished out to be lawfully punished because of the well-established institutions of law enforcement in those countries.

 But all over the world patriotic Nigerian migrants have distinguished themselves and made the country very proud as established professionals in medicine, engineering, science and politics.

NIGERIAN-AMERICANS THAT HAVE MADE NIGERIA PROUD!

In the recently concluded Tuesday 8th November 2022 Midterm elections in the United States of America, eight Nigerian-Americans were re-elected to serve to the end of the first four-year-term of President Joe Biden.

According to the Nigerian American Public Affairs Committee (NAPAC), list release the Nigerian Americans have won legislative seats in the United States midterm elections.

They won seats in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and the District of Columbia DC. 

The Federal Government of Nigeria and President Muhammadu Buhari have  congratulated the politicians on their successes.

THERE IS NOW AN URGENT NEED FOR  DIASPORA VOTING!

Diaspora voting was deliberately opposed by past Nigerian administrations because of the sophistication of the Nigerian- Americans and their counterparts across the world who have been exposed to modern art of digital and electronic voting and who could easily influence innovations that would permanently stop electoral malpractices in their native land.

At this very time of the downturn of Nigeria's economy with a deficit 2022 Budget that cannot even fund Capital projects but can only pay salaries and allowances with borrowed funds from other nations, the Federal Government needs the assistance and expertise of Diaspora Nigerians.

NNPCL AND THE OIL THIEVES!

 

Oil theft had been another misnomer which has robbed Nigeria from enjoying the windfall which resulted from the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in almost nine months or that Nigerians are not being told the whole truth about the daily liftings and the gains that accrued to the nation in the export of crude oil business.

 Recently Mr. President/Minister of Petroleum and all his lieutenants in the Oil and Gas industry have all agreed that subsidy on petroleum products, which has run into over NGN2.8 trillion Naira between Feburary2021- June2022, a period of 17 months is the greatest fraud of the century between NNPC marketers and their contractors. 

Another trending story is that an illegal connecting line of crude oil from export terminal into high Sea had been discovered by NNPCL after nine years of the bare-faced robbery of the only national asset that fetched foreign exchange earnings!

Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), in the month of October 2022, disclosed that an illegal oil pipeline connecting directly to the Sea was recently discovered!

He told the Nigerian Senate that the four-kilometre or 2.5-mile connection from the Forcados Export Terminals which typically exported around 250,000 barrels per day of oil into the Sea was discovered during a clampdown on oil theft operations! 

 According to him oil theft in the country has been going on for over 22 years but the dimension and the rate it has assumed in recent times was unprecedented.

He assured the lawmakers that his agency in collaboration with relevant security agencies had clamped down on the economic saboteurs and within a period of six weeks: 395 illegal refineries were deactivated, 274 reservoirs destroyed, 1561 metal tanks destroyed and 49 trucks seized!

He said oil thieves usually tapped land-based pipelines to siphon oil undetected but that an illegal line in the ocean was unusual and suggested a more sophisticated theft operation!

Diaspora economic power brokers must be encouraged to still support government at this crucial time of national debt embarrassment; the law makers needed to harvest their expertise in the Oil and Gas industry and to encourage them to invest in the coming years by ensuring that Diaspora Voting was firmly entrenched in the new PARLIAMENTARY UNICAMERAL CONSTITUTION THROUGH REFERENDUM THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER IN THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTIONS!

All hands must be on deck to salvage what was left of this great nation which money bag politicians have tried to destroy at all cost.

Where there is a will, there is a way!

CAN TINUBU HAND OVER ALL ASSETS OF “ALPHA BETA” TO THE COMMON-MAN?

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 482. 6th November 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

CAN TINUBU HAND OVER ALL ASSETS OF “ALPHA BETA” TO THE COMMON-MAN?

Presidential flag bearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), ruling party Ahmed ‘Bola Tinubu, had over the years exhibited penchant for soothing economic disadvantages of the unfortunate common man from the vantage position of governance and immunity!

During his two-term tenure as Governor of Lagos State (1999-2007), he dispensed the Treasury as personal vault!

 He endeared the masses politically to himself through regular financial inducements which lifted a sizable population to hold allegiance to the Alliance to Democracy (AD), the Party in government which later metamorphosed into Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), between 1999-2013.

Those eight years at the helm of affairs in Lagos gave him the ample opportunity to entrench himself as business mogul and political juggernaut, classified as “godfather”!

Bola Tinubu played a major role in the formation in February 2013, the party now known as the All Progressives Congress (APC), which has been in power at the centre forward over seven years.

He led the Action Congress of Nigeria to merge with the Northern Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigeria People's Party (ANPP), a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and the New PDP, a faction of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

Lagos State as the commercial capital of Nigeria, that enjoys a cosmopolitan status and hub of economic activities from around all continents of the world had always been in the lead in respect of Internally Generated Revenues (IGRs), among the 36 States and the Federal Capital City (FCT), of Nigeria. 

In 2021 Lagos State realised NGN535 billion naira as IGR and hopes to generate NGN980 billion naira in 2022!

‘Bola automatically became a king maker and handpicked governors that succeeded him from 2007 to date! His wish had never been faulted nor opposed!

MY LIFE AMBITION HAD ALWAYS BEEN TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA!

How 'Bola Tinubu became APC’s flag bearer to the 2023 General Elections is no longer in contention because the political campaigns have begun and the crowd are all surging around him – trusting that he would fulfill his dream.

In a recent conversation with Lagos captains of industries and businessmen from across various geo-political zones ‘Bola Tinubu still made mention of his desire that the “common man” should not suffer basic necessities of life any longer - especially electricity power – if he were elected president!

On his 62nd birthday anniversary on 29th March 2014, Tinubu tagged his Sixth Annual Colloquium Summit topic for discussion as “The Common Man”, and spoke passionately against the evil oligarchic nepotic and tribalistic tendencies of political actors and called for a new set of passionate leaders that would prepare the nation to sustainable growth of human development and prosperity.

Other speakers at colloquium also addressed issues  of government's ineptitude to provide basic necessities of life to its citizens in respect of education, access to health care facilities, unemployment among the youths and able-bodied men and women underemployment estimated at 20 million, lack of primary health care, annual infant and maternal mortality rates, number of out-of-school children of primary school age which was put in that year 2014 at 10.5 million!

TINUBU MUST NOW PUT HIS MOUTH WHERE HIS MONEY IS!

The flame of passion for the downtrodden is still burning fiercely in Tinubu and We believe that he would stop at nothing to prove to the world that he is  a “committed democrat” and a faithful philanthropist.

The year September-October 2022 deluge that devastated 31 of 36 States of Nigeria did not go unnoticed by the APC Flag bearer who had doled out millions of Naira to unfortunate victims to support Federal and State governments efforts.

He held his 2021 12th birthday Colloquium in the city of Kano and cancelled the 13th which should mark his 70th birthday anniversary on 29th March 2022, to honour victims of the Kaduna-Abuja Train attack by Boko Haram Terrorists!

BUT WILL AHMED BOLA TINUBU TRANSFER ALL OF HIS ASSETS AT THE “ALPHA BETA CONSULTING” TO THE POOR MASSES?

All of his political career what’s embroiled in all manner of allegations of corrupt practices mismanagement of funds and high-handedness in picking surrogates to fill political offices.

 He was accused during the 2019 Presidential elections of conveying monies in and out of his residence on Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi Lagos; but dammed public outcry with a wave of the hand that he could keep his money wherever he wished!

Apart from dubious educational qualifications Tinubu has been accused of involvement in a private tax-collecting firm known and registered as ALPHA BETA CONSULTING!

It is alleged that Tinubu owns the firm which collects taxes on behalf of the Lagos State Government in spite of the existence of the official State Inland Revenue Services!

Alpha Beta is paid monthly commissions which has just been increased in January 2022 from ₦800 million naira to ₦2.5 billion naira by incumbent surrogate Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu in spite of court litigation against Ahmed tinubu and Alpha-Beta Consulting by a former managing director of the consulting firm!

BOLA TINUBU SHOULD BEQUEATH THE ASSETS OF ALPHA BETA TO THE “COMMON MAN” WHO NEEDS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

For the umpteenth time WE make bold to say that Nigerians are totally fed up with the ever corrupt Presidential System and are demanding through REFERENDUM, A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION THAT WILL PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2023!

Bola Tinubu and his shameless money bags in other Parties should join the moving train before it is too late or be CRUSHED in its tracks!

“A word is enough for the WISE!”

NIGERIA IS TERRORIZED WITH TERROR ALERTS!

#CAMPAIGN FOR REFERENDUM AND NOT VIOLENT AGITATIONS! [NO.44]. –DR. DAVID OLUFON.  5th November, 2022.

NIGERIA IS TERRORIZED WITH TERROR ALERTS!

Although terrorism is a global phenomenon, but when any nation is bereft of digital technologies for confronting heinous crimes it had inadvertently sold its sovereignty to international scammers and do-gooders!

“Terrror Alert” is not an exclusive preserve of  the United States United Kingdom or Canada but these advanced countries surreptitiously employ this uncanny weapon to keep most African countries in servitude and modern slavery!

 

They always claimed to direct such alerts to their citizens domicile in those countries but in actual fact had always suçceeded to stampede the nations in question to approach and negotiate measures to mitigate future occurrences but it has never been for free! 

Proper procedure for initiating and NOT aggravating terror alerts to sovereign countries according to international best practices should have been top secret affair between government to government under classified diplomatic information channel and not for general consumption as they have deliberately done  in the past and at the present times!

Imagine if the US, UK and Canada had sent classified information on terror attacks in Nigeria directly to the President and Commander-in -Chief who knows how best to deploy his security architecture to apprehend such criminals or terrorist to nip in the bud impending calamities or disasters, won’t human/material casualties be prevented and avoided?

THOSE TERROR ALERTS TO AFRICA WERE IN BAD TASTE!

Were the terror alerts to African countries not a ploy by former colonizers to aid and abbet terrorists planning behind the scenes to further perpetrate distabilization of such governments?

Were they not deliberately publicized, for such terror groups re-strategize and wait for the stampede to subside then strike when no one expected?

America, Britain and Canada could be more diplomatic but from all their past and present activities against African Nations especially the giant of Africa -  Nigeria - one could easily conclude that they are sworn enemies of progress of the Black Continent!

Every country in the world – including US, UK and Canada - is domicile with people of divergent views opposed to international norms, practices, leadership, governance systems, ideologies or policies at all levels.

 They claim exclusive knowledge in ethics, morality or religion and would go to any extreme to force their obsessions on innocent and law-abiding citizens, so, nothing stops Nigeria or South Africa to ACQUIRE LATEST DIGTAL TECHNOLOGY TO ROOT OUT AND ROUT THOSE ENEMIES OF STATE AND THEIR FOREIGN ACCOMPLICES FROM WITHIN AND WITHOUT THEIR  SOVEREIGN STATES!

Nigeria needs DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION to overcome annual embarrassments of foreign countries terror alerts who were former colonial Task Masters! Digital technology gadgets cost fortunes and only incorruptible administrations could afford such funds to protect its citizens as  primary objective policies!

BUT to achieve this milestone, the current presidential and VERY ÇORRUPT ADMINISTRATION OF MAJOR GENERAL MUHAMMADU BUHARI MUST GIVE WAY TO A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM AND PRODUCE A PRIME MINISTER IN 2023!

Please share this message with friends on internet and also on internet platforms for wider coverage as pressure groups to force this CORRUPT GOVERNMENT TO DO THE WILL OF the PEOPLE!

WILL REDESIGNED NAIRA NOTES OFFER SOME RESPITE TO THE DOWNTRODDEN?

ZION B-BC

 NEWSLETTER.   

 

Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a Godly Perspective.

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church Kpeyegyi Abuja Nigeria {Vol. 11.NO 481. 30th October 2022.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32).  PRAY & FAST EVERY WEDNESDAY TO STOP BLOODSHED IN NIGERIA!

 

WILL REDESIGNED NAIRA NOTES OFFER SOME RESPITE TO THE DOWNTRODDEN?

The apex Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has announced plans to boost the battered economy with redesigned Nigerian currencies of 1000, 500, and 200 Naira denominations which will be in circulation from 15th December 2022 to 30th January 2023.

Of the three trillion naira currencies currently in circulation, ₦2.7 trillion are outside of the banking sector and have stifled economic transactions through massive infiltration of counterfeit and very dirty currencies that can no longer qualify as legal tender!

Godwin Emefiele, the Central Bank governor who made the announcement last Thursday 27th October, 2022 reeled out  benefits that will complement the redesigned currencies as follows 1. Terminate counterfeiting. 2. Cancel further official money printing. 3. Check corruption. 4. Precipitate cashless economy and 5. Create liquidity to manage inflation.

FAKE CURRENCIES ARE AS OLD AS NIGERIA!

Before the advent of Automated Teller Machines (ATMs), counterfeited currencies had dominated rural trading communities, urban commercial sectors and virtually the entire banking industry!

Fake Naira notes were rarely detected due to forgers perfection except they were detected by eagle eyes during exchange for goods and services; but such transactions in most cases always ended at police stations for arbitration!

In recent times even with the introduction of ATMs it has been detected that powerful syndicates operating in the banking sector have heightened the proliferation or fake Naira notes into the banks. In spite of the confidence of the ATM engineers that the machines would detect counterfeit notes, they passed seamlessly through the machines and into the hands of innocent customers who were eventually embarrassed when they presented such notes as legal tender!

In December 2017 precisely five years ago our Editorial Board launched an investigation to unravel the sources of fake Naira notes that were being dispensed from ATMs alongside legitimate currencies and discovered that a very powerful syndicate in the commercial banks were operating undetected by their principals!

Two fake N1000 currencies came into our possession through withdrawals from an ATM located within a commercial bank and another from the counter of a banking hall in the Federal Capital Territory Abuja.

 We made so much noise about the two separate incidents and threatened to report the banks to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), while we also spoke to some officials the CBN who promised to investigate the complaint and get back to us until FOREVER!

We then called on the Federal Government to hold the CBN Governor responsible for the trillions of naira currencies in circulation all over Nigeria through our publication: Zion B-BC Newsletter, 226th Edition of 10th December, 2017, without response until now when Mr. Emefiele acted a ONE MAN SHOW — of redesigning of the designated currencies without any imput from the Federal Ministry of Finance and National Planning.

The Minister of Finance Budget and National Planning has warned that the new notes will have dire consequences on Naira’s value.

CBN CLAIMS TO HAVE FOLLOWED DUE PROCESS IN THE NAIRA DESIGNING!

CBN’s spokesman said that the management in line with provisions of Section 2 (b), Section 18 (a) and Section 19 (a) (b), of the CBN Act 2007, duly sought and obtained the approval of the President Muhammadu Buhari in writing to redesign, produce, release and circulate new series of 200, 500, and 1000 Naira banknotes to fulfill efficacy in the conduct of monetary policy.

He urged Nigerians to support the currency redesign project because it was in the overall interest of Nigerians since some persons were hoarding significant sums of banknotes outside the vault of commercial banks which threatened the integrity of the currency.

In respect of printing costs of the new Naira notes he said the cost will not be outrageous because they will be printed in Nigeria and within CBNs budget.

COMMENTS:

Well said but has CBN acted ultra vires to Citizens persistent appeal for SYNERGY between Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs), in order to get best results and defeat Red Tapism/Bureaucracies that have escalated failures and despondency in the CIVIL SERVICE  to date?

MAYBE NOT! In view of the following facts that usually guarded monetary protocol at that level:

*CBN is totally independent of the Ministry of Finance according to a 1989 Decree believed to have been promulgated by General Ibrahim Babangida.

*Just like the Economic Advisory Council (EAC), the apex bank takes instructions and reports directly to the President.

*Redesigning or outright Change of legal currencies MUST be executed with utmost secrecy because it is national sensitive issue!

*Nigerian currencies were changed in 1968 during the Biafra War (1967-1970), with a strategic view of rendering all monies of former Eastern Nigeria as illegal tender!

*In 1973, 1977 and between 1979 and 2009, the Nigerian currencies underwent various forms of changes to boost the economy at those stages of the nation’s development.

*The ₦2.7 trillion naira (about 80% of the ₦3trillion outside of the banking sector) are believed to be hoarded by desperate political moneybags who would stop at nothing to remain in contention at the 2023 General Elections by hook and crook!

*The measure is also believed would greatly reduce general GDP Inflation, especially FOOD INFLATION!

*Minister of finance could not claim total ignorance of the CBN move because one of its Directors is a member of the apex bank board.

IF IT IS AN EGO PROBLEM, WE ADVISE ZAINAB AHMED TO BACK OFF AND FACE THE ENORMOUS DUTIES OF HER MINISTRY AND STOP BEING A MEDDLESOME INTERLOPER!

The Citizens need all positive measures that would cushion the miserable state of the nation's economy now more than ever! This drowning government of the APC must give way to a PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WILL PRODUCE FOR THIS GREAT NATION A PRIME MINISTER IN THE YEAR 2023! NO MORE NO LESS!

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13).

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]
