Naira now goes for 208 (215) to a dollar

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 01:20 PM PST

The naira, on Friday, depreciated against the dollar as it traded at N208 from the N191.50 it sold for on Monday, January 19. (it's about N215 as of today)

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the new rate had made the naira to lose N16.50 within five days. The CBN's website, however, put the naira against the dollar at N167.50, while the pound sold for N253.20 and the euro stood at N193.89.


 he development has resulted into speculation in the market and caused ripple effects on other currencies. NAN correspondent who visited some bureau de change and black market operators in Lagos said that they could not give rates to the pound sterling and the euro. Dealers who preferred anonymity said that there was scarcity of dollars in circulation. They said that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had stopped selling forex to the bureaux de change since last year.

The dealers added that the recent review of trading positions for the forex trading to 72 hours also contributed to speculation in the system. The effect, they added, was that the naira could depreciate further by next week. NAN recalled that the CBN in November 2014 devalued the naira. (NAN)

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 12:50 PM PST

The LIB reader explains
"So I sat at a bar here in Calabar today with my friends to have a drink and what were we served? Star in a Harp bottle, abi is it Harp covered with Star wrapper? Its almost unbelievable (considering the Guinness/NBL rivalry). And I hope you noticed that it's well cocked and untampered, so it's not like anybody did anything funny. That was straight from the fridge! Welcome to 9ja! Lol..."

How I will operate as Nigeria’s First Lady – Buhari’s Wife

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 12:18 PM PST

At the inaugural meeting of the APC women presidential campaign initiative held in Abuja today, Saturday January 24th, wife of the APC presidential flag-bearer reacted to her husband's promise to scrap the office of the first lady because it is unconstitutional and allegedly being used to steal public fund. Below is what she told newsmen.
"When my husband is elected as the president of this country, he will rule the country within the rule of law based on the constitution of the country. If the office of the first lady is constitutionally recognised, he will not tamper with it, but if it is not that's okay. For me, I will perform my duties and role as the wife of the President of Nigeria traditionally. Wives of presidents have some traditional roles, like receiving guests, visiting orphanages, helping the less privileged people. They also lead in the fight for the right of women and malnourished children, infant mortality rate, kidnapping and girl-child trafficking" (NAN)

ISIS claims to have beheaded 1 of 2 Japanese hostage in new video

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 12:05 PM PST

This morning, ISIS militants released a video showing the decapitated body of one of the Japanese security contractors they kidnapped. ISIS demanded $200m for Haruna Yukawa and Kenji Goto earlier this week and when Japanese government called their bluff, they killed one of the men, and said the other will also be beheaded if Japan doesn't meet their demands.

In the recording, a voice claiming to be that of Kenji Goto, claimed his fellow captive, Haruna Yukawa, has been killed and blamed his the death on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. He said he will be killed next if ISIS demand is not met. ISIS said they're no longer interested in the money, now they want the release of a failed female suicide. (Photo above shows Kenji holding a picture of Haruna Yukawa's body which appeared alongside the recording)

But Japan PM was not convinced. He condemned the video, saying his government 'will not give in to terrorism'.
 
ISIS are demanding the release of Sajida Mubarak Atrous al-Rishawi, an attempted suicide bomber who is currently being held by Japan

Actress Toyin Aimakhu and hubby Adeniyi Johnson separate

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 11:37 AM PST

About two years after they got married, actress Toyin Aimakhu's marriage to actor Adeniyi Johnson has crashed. Though Toyin is yet to publicly say anything about the crash of her marriage, she removed her 'I love my husband, no matter what' on her instagram status. Niyi also changed his Facebook status to separated. When her followers wrote hurtful things to Toyin about her marriage issues, she told them to walk in her shoes before judging. Her friends have been telling her to take heart and try and work on her marriage.

There are reports that infidelity played a role in the break up. Hopefully, they work things out. They were such a good looking couple.

Photo: Former Westlife singer, Mark Feehily now sells tea from a van

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 12:28 AM PST

Westlife is my 2nd all time favorite boy-band after Boys 2 Men, and Mark Feehily was my favorite singer in the group. He came out later after the group disbanded to say he was gay. Broke my heart. Anyway, to the story, Mark is now selling snacks &coffee from a catering van. That's him in the van.

The 34 year old has set up his own catering business. He travels round festivals with his van and he serves customers food and drinks himself from the back of his truck. When asked about it, Mark said
"It's going really well, we've got loads of interest and we've booked it in with a lot of the music festivals and we're talking about doing some Irish ones as well. People were flabbergasted at the fact that I was in the van making crepes. People kind of have this thing 'Oh, he was in Westlife a few years ago and now he's making tea. It's my business and I love it, anything I get involved in I get involved 110%."
Mark says he hasn't given up on music yet though and is planning to launch a solo career. Westlife disbanded in 2011 after 14 years together. During their career, they notched 26 top 10 hits.

Twitter user reveals the current state of Ibadan airport (photos)

Posted: 24 Jan 2015 12:06 AM PST

How can this be an airport in a country like Nigeria? When photos of the under developed airport hit the net late 2013, people assumed that there will be a change in its infrastructure soon. Well, it looks nothing much has changed. The more we highlight this, the more the government is pushed to do something about it. More pics after the cut...

Dear LIB readers: Can I have paternity test done before I give birth?

Posted: 23 Jan 2015 11:25 PM PST

From a female LIB reader...tough one!
As I write this mail, my heart is so troubled. I am a young lady of 27yrs and I'm in a serious relationship too. I was with my fiance throughout the ovulation of my last period and we made love all through but I met with another man (side boyfriend) a day after my ovulation without condom ( he didn't release in me).
Fast forward to the next month, I discovered that I am pregnant. My fiancée  insisted I keep the pregnancy cos we were already planning to get married. Continue...
However, I can't go a day without thinking about the paternity of my baby and I am due in the next one month. I'm not really sure who the father is.
LIBers pls can I have a paternity test done before I put to bed or how else can I confirm the real father of my baby before I put to bed.
