OKONJO IWEALA SPEAKS ON WHY NIGERIA WILL NEVER GET OUT OF RECESSION

Nigeria’s former Finance Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has stated that growth and development cannot be achieved in any country that has loopholes in its foreign exchange rates.

This statement was made at the time the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, promised that the nation’s ailing economy will be out of recession by the end of the third quarter of 2017.

Speaking after the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting in Abuja on Tuesday, Emefiele said the CBN will not dictate where the much-needed foreign exchange convergence will be, but hopes the rate will head southwards rather than remain on the high side.
But the former World Bank Managing Director who spoke at the launch of ‘Beating the Odds: Jumpstarting Developing Countries’, a book written by Justin Yifu Lin and Celestin Monga in Ahmedabad, India, said there was no one way to growth and development, for any economy without putting some basic principles in place.
“You can have development that takes specific country and context specific situations in hand and begin from there,” she said.
“So, the proposals for industrial parks, industrial zones or what you want to call them as a way of kicking off development in a country fits within this context. For me, I think we should just absorb the lesson that there is no one correct answer to economic growth and development. There is no one path.

Scientists have created a hybrid life form called ‘Human-Dog’, a cross between humans and dogs, to entertain/cater for super-rich people who like collecting unique pets. Dr. William Bateman, 43, one of the scientists who created these human hybrids explains: “There is only so much you can buy as a person who has it all.” However, animal rights groups are up in arms, as Paul Cross, 27, activist with the Animal Defense League said, “If one my children saw these creatures, they’d be scared half to death. Imagine one of them s*cking on your toes, in a dark alley.” According to Dr Bateman, the advantage of having these Human-Dog hybrids is that, “They’re very intelligent and unique and they can also communicate, as their vocal ...

BOKO HARAM EXECUTES EIGHT PEOPLE IN THE NORTH FOR KICKING AGAINST SHARIA LAW Boko Haram militants in Nigeria executed eight villagers in the West African country after they allegedly tried to fight off the group’s hardline Islamic police. A video released by the Islamist group showed eight people blindfolded and lying face down. A man in a white turban told a crowd that the people were “apostates [who] have left the fold of Islam.” Four masked gunmen shot the people at close range as the crowd cheered, AFP reported on Tuesday. Boko Haram—which means “Western education is forbidden”—launched a war against the Nigerian government in 2009. It has since killed tens of thousands and displaced millions in a bid to create an extremist caliphate in northeast Nigeria. The man in the turban said that the eight people who were executed had threatened to fight Boko Haram’s so-called Sharia police, who enforce the group’s hardline interpretation of Islamic law.
