The family of an Afghan boy who gained brief Internet fame after being photographed in a shirt improvised from a plastic bag in the colours of his hero, Argentine soccer idol Lionel Messi, has been forced to flee his home after a Taliban attack..
Murtaza Ahmadi, now aged 7, grabbed world headlines two years ago when his brother made him a shirt out of a blue and white plastic bag, with Messi’s name and number 10 playing number.

His sudden fame won him a meeting with his hero but caused problems for his family, members of the Hazara ethnic minority from Jaghori district in the central province of Ghazni.
. “Murtaza became famous around the world and we are not able to walk free and go anywhere.
“Murtaza and my other children were not able to go to school,” his mother Shafiqa Ahmadi said in the home in Kabul where the family is staying.
“During the night suspected men were walking near our house and when the Taliban attacked our village we decided to leave.”
Ghazni, about two hours drive south of the capital Kabul, has been the scene of intense fighting this year.

The Taliban briefly overran Ghazni city in August and there has been heavy fighting in Jaghori, forcing thousands to flee.
“The security situation is not good and I am afraid to go outside,” Murtaza said. . “I want to become a footballer like Messi and I want to be able to go to school.”

My Opinion 

When do they get to rest from all of these? These wars have lasted for decades and still are on from kids who just arrived this world. When education is not even the issue no more,  staying alive happen to be the main issue at hand. I hope they find safety.

As the Global terrorism index, releases its 2018 ranking on Wednesday, Nigeria still retains its third position in the ranking.

Recall that the giant of Africa has retained this shocking position since 2015.  Report from the Global Terrorism Index, that measures the impact of terrorism, shows that Nigeria comes immediately after Iraq and Afghanistan.

The two countries have also retained their respective positions (first and second) since 2013.

My Opinion 

I dint know who did this whole thing, the amount of credibility that the revelation holds, and the amount of research taken place for this . It could be that the whole world want to call Nigeria the worst name possible ever in the book. Could it be that the amount of complains and exposure the citizens of Nigeria do on social media, and the fact that Nigeria is targeted gravely by the big world since her land has oil and other natural mineral. So they are constantly trying to create some form of chaos in the country, so the citizens can get fingered up enough to physically attack the leader and kill them like it was a “Hunger Game”, like they did to Gaddafi who was shamefully killed and his government  assassinated intensely. This whole thing should be read and assimilated with a pinch of salt. Nigeria is  not as horrible as these countries try to make her seem.  We have horrible leaders that have placed the country in very horrible state of affairs,  and forcing it’s citizens to move  into a desperate  state of survival mode and turning to financial  Crimes to make a living for themselves and their  people.

Qatar is to leave OPEC next month in order for the Gulf state to focus on gas production, Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi announced on Monday.

“Qatar has decided to withdraw its membership from OPEC effective January 2019,” Kaabi said at a Doha press conference.

He added that Qatar would still continue to produce oil but would concentrate on gas production, where it is the biggest exporter of liquified natural gas in the world. “We don’t have great potential [in oil], we are very realistic. Our potential is gas.”

Kaabi said that OPEC, which Qatar joined in 1961, was told of the decision on Monday ahead of the announcement.

The organisation is dominated by oil-rich Saudi Arabia, which since June 2017 has led a bloc of countries in imposing a blockade on Qatar.

By Obinna Chima

The Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, yesterday revealed that the various initiatives aimed at encouraging domestic production, have resulted in Nigeria’s monthly import bill falling significantly from $665.4 million in January 2015, to $160.4 million as at October 2018, representing a drop by 75.9 per cent and an implied savings of over US$21 billion on food imports alone over that period.

He disclosed this in a keynote address he delivered at the 53rd Annual Bankers’ Dinner of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (CIBN) held in Lagos.

According to him, many entrepreneurs are now taking advantage of policies aimed at ramping local production to venture into the domestic production of the restricted items with remarkable successes and great positive impact on employment.

“The dramatic decline in our import bill and the increase in domestic production of these items attest to the efficacy of this policy.

“Most evident were the 97.3 percent cumulative reduction in monthly rice import bills, 99.6 percent in fish, 81.3 percent in milk, 63.7 per cent in sugar, and 60.5 percent in wheat.

“We are glad with the accomplishments recorded so far. Accordingly, this policy is expected to continue with vigour until the underlying imbalances within the Nigerian economy have been fully resolved.

“If we continue to support the growth of small holder farmers, as well as help to revive palm oil refineries, rice mills, cassava and tomato processing factories, you can only imagine the amount of wealth and jobs that will be created in the country.

“These could include new set of small holders farmers that will be engaged in productive activities; new logistics companies that will transport raw materials to factories, and finished goods to the market; new storage centres that will be built to store locally produced goods; additional growth for our banks and financial institutions as they will be able to provide financial services to support these new businesses; and finally, the millions of Nigerians that will be employed in factories to support processing of goods.

“If we turn a blind eye to the opportunities that are being created as a result of our policy on 41 items, we will be spelling doom for our nation. We can no longer afford to depend solely on imports given the size of our population, and the need to create jobs for our people.”

The CBN governor also stated that the bank would be collaborating with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to expose banks, importers or organisations that collude with corrupt individuals to flout its policy on the restriction of foreign exchange (forex) to 41 items.

The CBN had in July 2015, restricted 41 items, including vegetable oil, poultry products, toothpicks, cosmetics, plastic and rubber products, among others, from accessing foreign exchange from the interbank foreign exchange market.

Importers of the restricted items were asked to source their forex requirements from autonomous sources.

Emefiele pointed out that given the remarkable success that had been achieved in stimulating domestic production of goods such as rice, cassava and maize, as a result of the restrictions placed on access to forex for the 41 items, the central bank intends to vigorously ensure that the policy remains in place.

He also warned speculators in the forex market that they would lose their shirt, saying the central bank has enough war chest to sustain the stability in the forex market.

According to him, the central bank would continue to take measures to ensure stability in the forex market.

He said additional efforts would be made to block any attempts by unscrupulous parties (both individuals and corporates) that intend to find other avenues of accessing forex, in order to import these items into Nigeria.

My Opinion: 

For years hey have been fighting the rate of import done by Nigerians.  Now that they have gotten this figure to this number, I hope this actually can be taken advantage of, and that the cause of this drop is the real reason for this fro in numbers. This is because it can actually mean that Nigerians have become too broke to import, too good that they are not caught and extorted,  or that the central bank is right about their finding. But those people going about  it in a hidden way are not included in this statistical conclusion. (Something we all know ) I hope the leaders of this country will actually take advantage of drop and make he country a better place for the ones who have nowhere to go to.

They’ve been enjoying the celebrations leading up to Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’ wedding.

And amid the lead up to the big day, Sophie Turner and fiancé Joe Jonas were seen wearing beautifully decorated traditional Indian dress on Thursday.

The Game Of Thrones actress, 22, gave a taste of what will she will be wearing for the wedding.

My Opinion 

She didn’t look so happy in the Indian attire. Maybe they were arguing when the photo was taken. Just saying.

George H.W. Bush, the 41st president of the United States and the father of the 43rd, was a steadfast force on the international stage for decades, from his stint as an envoy to Beijing to his eight years as vice president and his one term as commander in chief from 1989 to 1993.

The last veteran of World War II to serve as president, he was a consummate public servant and a statesman who helped guide the nation and the world out of a four-decade Cold War that had carried the threat of nuclear annihilation.

According to The Washington Post, his death, at 94 on Nov. 30 also marked the passing of an era.

Although Mr. Bush served as president three decades ago, his values and ethic seem centuries removed from today’s acrid political culture. His currency of personal connection was the handwritten letter — not the social media blast.

He had a competitive nature and considerable ambition that were not easy to discern under the sheen of his New England politesse and his earnest generosity. He was capable of running hard-edge political campaigns, and took the nation to war. But his principal achievements were produced at negotiating tables.
