It is Time Nigerians Decides the Terms of Our Coexistence!!'' - Etcetera

On this special Saturday occassion, our famous writer "Etcetera" is back with his articles. This time he writes about the Igbos been relegated to a lower edge. Do read and Enjoy...

The Igbos are the wandering Jews of West Africa… gifted, aggressive, Westernised; at best envied and resented, but mostly despised by the mass of their neighbours in the federation – Henry Kessinger (famous American diplomat). Before we talk about the plight of the Igbos in Nigeria, let us start by defining a word that has been frequently used by the Igbos to define their situation in the country, "marginalisation"! According to a good number of dictionaries, to “marginalise” means “to treat someone or something as if they are unimportant.” It also means “to take or keep
somebody away from the centre of action.” Another dictionary defined it as “relegating someone or a group of people to a lower or outer edge of a community or society.”

READ: President Jonathan Addresses The Nation Ahead of Tomorrow's Election.

As Nigeria returns to the polls again tomorrow, I urge all registered voters to come out in mass and exercise their civic duty/civil right to vote.

I have instructed our security agents to fully facilitate the right of Nigerians to choose leaders of their choice at various state and local assembly levels by putting away devotion to a particular party or group but ensuring that we all vote in a secure environment. It is the sacrifice and mandate of our security agents to secure our nation, so we can all be confident to come out and vote our conscience all over the federation.

I urge contestants to respect the will of the people as we promote a new Nigeria that is a pacesetter and light bearer in the practice of democratic politics without bitterness.
 May God bless Nigeria.

Dollar Price Falls! With The New Price Of N185 Per $1

The currency exchange drop in Dollars to Naira is now obvious and the Bureau De Change operators in the country have attributed the fall in the dollar to release of the foreign currency by hoarders who had stored it pending the outcome of the nation’s general elections.

A dollar over the weekend was sold for the soum of N185 against the usual N220-N240 which it sold for in the last few weeks. Some of them however said the Dollar crash could also be attributed to the fact that politicians have stopped campaigning for elections, which has made the demand for the currency to drop.

All well and good; as of now the rate of US Dollars to our Naira currency is N185, its goin down gradually and we sure want more of that.
