Ajuwaya! ("As You Were!")

Guess what, folks? L'il sis just completed her Corps service! And for those of y'all who are clueless what I'm speakin' of, it's the National Youth Service Corp Programme, a 12-month drudgery all Nigerian graduates undergo before they invade the employment market, sorta like the calm before the storm, the rat-race for jobs, y'know... I'm so proud of her. She just got back from Abuja where she served, bringing in tow three Certificates of recognition for her excellent delivery. That' s her shortly before she left. Don't she look so pert 'n l'il :-)? How time flies, eh...?

On other turn of events, an electric hum buzzed through the nation’s macroeconomic sector with the recent unveiling by Central Bank Governor, Charles Chukwuma Soludo, of his plans to achieve near-parity value of Nigeria’s fiat currency, the Naira, with the US dollar by 2009. Wanna know how this seemingly grandiose plan is gonna work, what pitfalls may likely beset its progress, and why the country is itself, including the President, befuddled by the plan? Keep it here, guys, and you just might find out!
