Sanusi says; Obasanjo is a bad Economist

Mr Obasanjo had on Thursday said the introduction of the N5000 note would kill production and affect small businesses negatively.

The former president, who disclosed this at a roundtable advocacy forum organised by the Institute of Directors, in Lagos, said the way, Mr Sanusi, was fighting inflation by removing money from circulation was improper.

However, speaking at the sixth annual conference of the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Mr Sanusi said Mr Obasanjo had introduced more high denomination in Nigeria than any other Head of State. “General Obasanjo did N20; he did N100, N200, N500 and N1000. He has introduced more higher

The CBN governor said that during the period Mr Obasanjo was introducing high denomination inflation in Nigeria was actually low.

 “General Obasanjo did N100 in 1999; then he did N200 in 2000; he did N500 I think two years later; and did N1000. In that period, inflation was coming down because it was accompanied by very tight monetary and fiscal policies during his reforms.

 “For somebody who have gone through that to come and stand up and say ‘introducing a higher denomination causes inflation’ I don’t know if somebody wrote his speech. I’m trying to see him or if he was misquoted.

“If he actually said that then he must be the single most important determinant of inflation in our history given the number of notes that he introduced,” he said Mr Sanusi said printing higher denomination without increasing the money supply in the economy will not increase inflation.

“This is simple economics,” he said. He said that the cost of printing and minting all denomination of currency in 2009 was N47 billion and that by 2011 the CBN brought this cost down to N32 billion.

He said that by 2014 the cost would further be reduced to N25 billion thereby saving about 50 percent of the total cost of printing and minting all denomination of currency.

TB Joshua named in Ghanaian footballer’s wife’s withcraft confession

The wife of a former Premier League goalkeeper, Richard Kingson, has reportedly confessed to being behind the crash of his career, according to The Sun UK

Kingson’s wife, Adelaide Tawiah, confessed on a television programme organised by televangelist TB Joshua’s Synagogue Church of All Nations, that she cast a spell on him. Kingson, 34, has played in the top flight for Birmingham, Wigan and Blackpool and is the most capped player with his native Ghana.

But since he was released by Blackpool last year he has been without a club and lost his place in the national squad. The report said Kingson’s wife claimed she sparked her husband’s loss of form with a black magic spell — and made him impotent for good measure.

The report quoted her as saying that she “messed up Richard’s life ever since we got married. I used my evil powers to trouble his career.

 “I’ve been working on him spiritually, to the point he could not perform in bed.” Her confession came as TB Joshua was casting out the “evil spirit” that allegedly had a grip on her, the report said.

Richard, who wed Adelaide following the 2010 World Cup, on Monday went on Facebook to insist, “My wife is not a witch.” He said people were often possessed by “false spirits.”

Since last week’s broadcast Adelaide has also denied being a witch — saying it was the spirit that was being cast out that spoke.

She said, “I can’t even remember what took place. “I am not a witch as it has been rumoured.

My husband knows how inspirational I have been to him throughout his goalkeeping career.”
