9ja's Oracle

Recently, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Governor, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) announced his plan for a Currency Restructuring exercise coined Project Cure which would bring about the introduction of N 5000 notes and the minting of  N 5,  N 10 and  N 20  denominations as coins. This, as expected, caused a public outcry with the common Nigerian claiming that such a move will bring about a devaluation of the Naira and cause inflation. It also made Nigerians wonder at the seriousness of CBN to bring about a cashless Nigeria if they, in the same breath, are talking of introducing a higher currency denomination which would result to higher amount of money being made portable as cash. Sanusi and his team on the other hand claimed that higher currency denominations do not cause inflation but would aid huge business transactions. They further claimed that the N 5000 notes would be mainly available for inter-bank transactions. Having looked at the arguments of the...

Chief Priest! I am vexed at the stupidity of my people! Their stupendous ignorance is irking me!! You have to work harder to get them informed...Due to their ignorance, unscrupulous elements have decided to take advantage of my people. You find such men in government, in the civil and public service, in schools and most unfortunately, in church-which is the area that pains me the most. Now, due to the average Nigerian’s belief (as predominantly Muslims, Christians and idol worshippers) in a supernatural being who knows, sees and has answers to everything; crafty men and women have emerged, who pose as mediators to this Supernatural being. They pose as men and women who can get the supernatural being to solve any given problem which cuts across finance; health; careers; academics; politics…name it! They even get this supernatural being to prevent unfavorable circumstances from befalling their faithful. With the average Nigerian undergoing series of hardship from all corners and t...

I was in a dream, in the midst of unknown faces who were obviously polished men and women; professionals from different fields; intellectuals; very important personalities...I can go on and on! They all appeared to be about the same age or older than my parents but I was not intimidated. We were in a cocktail party and I felt we were of the same ilk. We talked about politics, the economy, our professions and family. It was at this point that every guest started introducing his/her child or children to the small crowd. I noticed that most of that the children to the main guest were about my age; but I was shocked when it dawned on me that they were far less polished than their parents.  I tried engaging them in discussions bothering on their areas of endeavor but was somewhat disappointed. Their answers to my question didn't flow naturally as those of their parents; in fact, they appeared memorized. It was so obvious that this set of people lacked knowledge of their fields…an...

The Shrine www.9jas-oracle.blogspot.com 26 th December 2011 Goodluck Ebelemi Jonathan, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria. My dear Son, An Open Letter Showing My Disappointment On  16 th   of  April 2011, despite all odds, Nigerians voted you into power. Owing to the then purported cool disposition and level headedness you possessed, they (Nigerians) saw you as the needed break away from the past, where Olusegun Obasanjo ruled supreme to the point of being almost tyrannous. Nigerians sheepishly repeated your mantra, saying that 'We are Goodluck Jonathan'. They believed all your promises of a better Nigeria. To ensure that the election went on well as to produce you as President; Nigerians lost their lives, especially those from the Southern part of the country. They were all full of joy when you were announced President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and eventually sworn in. Most Nigerians declared 'Yeah! Goodluck is President, now...

And the most painful part is...dem suspect say 'na people dey kill all these people'! Calamity! Oh Calamity!! The Great one; just yesterday Mazi Udeorji, a 120 year old man, died...his great grand children are accusing their next door neighbours of being responsible for his death! Look at Mama Azunna, the one residing in Lagos... she died of breast cancer...her children say it was sent to her from the village!! Look at Ike-bobo; exactly one month after his wedding ceremony; while on a night journey to Abuja he was killed by armed robbers...His family members said t...
