The gold rush for #bitcoin is over. The solution to the heartbreaking crash of the overpriced cryptocurrency will not depend on the #chinesenewyear or any Astrology, but on the success of the Lightning Network and new dapps from blockchain technology. This is the big picture. pic.twitter.com/P2O5UIkMJF

Top 10 Investment Attractiveness-Ranked Countries:

1. Egypt is Africa’s largest economy GDP-wise, boasting the biggest consumer market in the Middle East and North Africa, its diversified economy receiving large FDIs.
2. South Africa is also still an FDI hot spot, with the country's currency and capital markets a cut above the rest of Africa’s, according to Fauconnier. But she warns that subdued economic growth and this year’s upcoming elections have created political-party divisions, which hamper policymaking.

President Buhari and the Political Amnesia of the Opposition

I don't believe in crying over spilt milk.

Politics will be boring without the political drama. Sit back with Coca Cola and popcorn and enjoy it, instead of having hypertension over Nigerian political cliques and intrigues.. Writing books on the current affairs of Nigerian politics is the best. Political history is important for political studies and for the benefit of posterity. My part two of "The Victory of Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigerian Dream" is already in progress.

How Come "Black Panther" Did Not Get Nomination for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects?

How Come "Black Panther" Did Not Get Nomination for an Oscar for Best Visual Effects?

The phenomenal record breaking Marvel Studios' Black Panther became the first superhero movie to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar for the 2019 annual Academy Awards (Oscars) with a total of seven nominations, including Best Costume Design, Best Sound Mixing, Best Sound Editing, Best Original Score, Best Production Design, and Best Original Song. But I am surprised it was left out of the nominees for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.

President Buhari is Ahead of the Curve in National Development

Only those who are totally ignorant of the increasing disposable incomes of the middle class and millions of new employees in the informal sector say President @MBuhari's economy has failed. pic.twitter.com/nBu4ARsGJx

Chief Obasanjo, @atiku and @OfficialPDPNig are totally clueless about the huge informal sector that contributed over N170billion to the budget of Lagos state in 2017. The revenues of the Nigerian entertainment industry increased to US$3.8 billion in 2018.

Abia: Uche Ogah as a Liberator

Abia: Uche Ogah  as a Liberator

By  Chima Adiele

A new lease of life is no longer a distant dream for the people of Abia state.Their liberation from the shackles of desperate poverty and mindless deprivation is now a matter of weeks. Come March 2nd, 2019, Abians  will file out in their thousands to cast their votes for Uche Samson Ogah, the man with the midas touch who is waiting in the wings to rescue them from decades of mal-administration. Enemies of change who had fervently hoped that the little internal disagreement in the Abia chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC  will stall Ogah’s  march to the Government House are surly disappointed. They probably can’t fathom why APC as a party is sticking to the industrialist as its gubernatorial candidate. They had hoped that the party would cave in and impose a candidate with no vigour and rigor to deliver the desired change to Abia.
