@Wizarab10@George_Amakaa Pastor Bolaji talks to his young congregation regularly about relationships. He’s teachings shouldn’t be faulted based on snippets from one sermon. He ended his messsage when he sensed they weren’t interested in his views at that time. He can address it at another time.
@MuhamadiMatovu Libya today isa shadow of its past under Gaddafi. A dictator that brought stability and higher standard of living at the cost of repression and suspension of human rights. Looking forward to seeing a free and democratic Libya in the not too distant future.
@MuhamadiMatovu It was a military rule with human rights violations and support for militant groups worldwide but his reign brought social developments such as women rights, free housing, free and compulsory education, health care, free electricity, interest free loans, massive infrastructure.
@elrufai All key regulatory agencies in South Africa have regional offices in Joburg, while their Head Offices remain in Pretoria.
It’s the same thing happening now in Nigeria with the relocation of key departments of these agencies to the hub where their subjects are operating from.
@elrufai While Washington DC is the capital of the US, New York is the largest financial hub and that’s where the Federal Reserve and the SEC operates from.
While Berlin is the capital of Germany, Frankfurt is the financial capital of not only Germany but of Europe
@elrufai South Africa has 3 Capitals: Pretoria where the Executive/seat of President is located, Cape Town where the legislative/parliament is located and Bloemfontein where the Judiciary/Supreme Court is located. However the financial/economic capital of South African is Johannesburg.
@elrufai Hence, the decision to relocate the key departments of these regulatory agencies to Lagos aligns with international leading practices where the political capital city is different from the economic/financial capital.
@elrufai The European Central Bank, Germany’s Central Bank (Deutsche Bank) and other top financial institutions are in Frankfurt and not Berlin.
FAAN, CBN, NPA, BOI and NIMASA are all regulatory agencies whose subjects are concentrated in Lagos (Nigeria’s financial hub)
@TimproviseDIY@CollinRugg It was caused by a landslide which is an “Act of God”. Traffic was closed a day before leading to zero casualties. It can happen anywhere!!
