Every Nigerian owes China N15,000 – Political analysts

by   Agunbiade Sanya   For the N3 trillion Nigeria has received from  China  in the last four years, every Nigerian owes China N15,000 in debt. That’s just N3,000 short of minimum wage,  Daily Trust  reports. The debt comes from two huge tranches of aid from China: $3.1 billion in 2014 and $6 billion for infrastructure in the last three years, according to political analyst Theophilus Abbah. Share Simple mathematics. Divide the combined total, just over N3 trillion, by the 198 million population Nigeria always talks about: that’s a nice N15,000 in debt to China for every Nigerian. And that doesn’t even include the loan agreement signed this week in Beijing where China pledged $60 billion in credit facilities, a quarter of it interest free. Analysts say getting governments indebted to China is the republic’s way of outsmarting the US and the UK in Africa trade https://lailasnews.com/every-nigerian-owes-china-n15000-political-analysts/

Scientists believe they’ve solved the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle ― and it’s not UFOs or sea monsters. It’s another kind of monster: monster waves. The Bermuda Triangle, also known as the Devil’s Triangle, is a region in the North Atlantic that is generally bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico. Over time, a number of aircraft and ships are said to have disappeared there under mysterious circumstances. According to “The Bermuda Triangle Enigma” on Britain’s Channel 5, scientists now believe conditions in that area were just right for massive rogue waves. “There are storms to the south and north, which come together,” said University of Southampton oceanographer Simon Boxall, per the Sun. “And if there are additional ones from Florida, it can be a potentially deadly formation of rogue waves.” Boxall said these rogue waves could reach 100 feet tall.

Ezeugo For Idemili North Constituency in Anambra State House of Assembly 2019.

As a youth leader, I Ezeugo will support law that will better the Rights of women, young people (youth) and the destitute (poor). In our society, we have three numerical majorities, these three majorities include the youth, women and the poor  none of these classes are satisfied with their participation in the country economy, politics  or administration. The poor, women and youth still lack the kind of support by legislative bodies that would allow them to represent their voices and demands within the context of the of the law. Effective representation will pay a positive role in changing their living conditions and make their voices heard. For this reason Ugochukwu Ezeude - Ezeugo programs tackles various aspects and will also help fight against poverty. Together we can make it happen and better. I stand with Ezeugo for better tomorrow. I stand for the truth.
