NORTHERN NIGERIA: WHAT REALLY WENT WRONG?
Since the amalgamation of Nigeria in 1914, the prospects of northern Nigeria seemed promising in comparison to other regions. Though limited in western literacy, northern Nigeria was already at that time, vast in both Arabic and Islamic studies. The first prime minister will eventually, turn out to be a northerner and in due course, many leaders will also emerge from the same region.

Let’s Face It. We Need The “$2,000/month” Money For The People Act.
Some days ago, Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Tim Ryan, two Democrats in the House of Representatives, proposed the emergency money for the people act that helps fix the problems that were present in the CARES act. The problem with the cares act is that it excluded a lot of people. It prohibited undocumented immigrants and excluded college students and a few other types of workers who desperately need money because they were unable to work due to the shutdown. To add on to that, are some people who can not get approval for unemployment in their state, like Undocumented or part-time workers. Some workers are only eligible for the $600 in the care act and not the additional state benefits. Such a bill like this would help patch specific flaws in the original proposal. It also has options for the un-banked with the opportunities to send money to Venmo accounts, Cash app accounts, and Paypal accounts for those who don’t have traditional or even more modern fintech bank accounts.

The Possibility of Hyperinflation is Rising in the United States
In the past weeks, the Federal Reserve has injected trillions of dollars into the market and lowered the interest rates to almost zero. With the government also stating that it will begin to send out free money to its citizens, we need to ask ourselves the question if hyperinflation — as seen in countries like Germany after WWI or in Venezuela in recent years — is starting to become a possibility in the United States as well.
