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-pol...

MYSTERY OF BERMUDA TRIANGLE FINALLY SOLVED   17 COMMENTS    23472 VIEWS Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved? 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 fee...

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.

(Chapter 5, Part 2) It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way… – Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities Crypto advocates differ dramatically on the impact of Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). They are a valuable dynamic that financed Ethereum’s smart contract; they are a blank cheque for scammers; they give government a wedge with which to separate cryptocurrency from freedom.

The Black Monday of 2018 It was a ‘Black Monday’ on February 6 when both global stocks and the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem shed billions yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (Dow) and a good portion of stocks worldwide plummeted at 2:40 pm EDT; more so than the drops during the 2008 economic crisis. Yesterday’s stock market dip broke records not only bringing up memories of 2008 but the day was also very similar to the other ‘Black Mondays’ of 1929, 1987, and 2000. However, mainstream media is not so quick to call the stock market slump a ‘crash,’ a ‘bubble pop,’ or even a death spiral. Yet the Dow lost more value ($300 billion USD) than the entire crypto-bear run of 2018 in one intraday. On Monday, February 5th the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 1175 points losing $300 billion USD in value in just one intra-day. Some Reports Say the Stock Market Sell-Off Pushed Money Towards Crypto-Investments In addition to the grueling stock market madness, the fina...

The Satoshi Revolution: A Revolution of Rising Expectations. Section 2 : The Moral Imperative of Privacy Chapter 5: Implementing Crypto Privacy by Wendy McElroy Privacy, Anonymity, and Pseudonymity (Chapter 5, Part 1) It is often said that there is a tradeoff between privacy and security…. Security is defined as the state of being free from danger or threat. One threat is assault. How is one made free from assault by being assaulted at an airport?…. How is one made free from the threat of being harassed or charged with a crime by the State by the State’s knowing every move you make, every statement you make, and every financial transaction you make? I say that your security is going DOWN, not up. The State can fend off terrorists by the ordinary methods of policing if it had a mind to. It doesn’t. It prefers to expand into a totalitarian monster. —  Mike Rozeff Privacy will determine the future of cryptocurrencies. Will they continue to enhance individual freedom, or will th...
