The CBN ban of sale of FX to BDCs is welcome provided banks will be given enough FX to give all customers with right documentation.

The next should be total ban on BDCs and revocation of licence as they have just turned to agent of money laundry and corruption. Thereafter there should be ban on all physical cash FX, only through accounts or card wallets.

Imagine the CBN gives dollars to BDC at 410 but they sale at 500, is that not Shylock ?

The BDC will also create artificial scarcity and further devalue the naira just to be enriched

What is an EVM?

The Electronic Voting Machine, also known as EVM, is an electronic device used for casting votes. Can EVMs be tampered with?

The EVM is a tamper-proof machine. It is made of a one-time programmable chip, which cannot be connected to any external device or network such as the internet, wifi, USB or Bluetooth. Hence, it cannot be corrupted or modified in any way possible.

A micro minority have spoilt an entire tribes credibility

Every profession changes with time and animal husbandry cannot be an exception.

I am against open grazing of animals by whatever tribe because human population have increased and hitherto grazing lands and routes have now become homes and farms for cultivation of food Moreso the animals that graze for thousands of kilometers tend to have lesser meat and produce less milk.

This led to the clamour for ranching which is now a universal practice where animals are kept in a ranch and everything being provided there without the long treks

In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening? What happened to Kodak and Polaroid will happen in a lot of industries in the next 5-10 years and most people don't see it coming.
