Nigeria: Expecting a whiff of the ‘dollar’?

Nigeria: Expecting a whiff of the ‘dollar’?

Josie Lebile’-Holo 14 August 2009

The unsettling euphoria around Hillary Clinton at Abuja underlined dimmed expectations that the United State could somehow turn Nigeria around. The diplomatic rhetoric used resonated a clear message ‘Nigeria must change its own fortune’- a fact we all know we must do and ‘can’ do being one of the leading six oil producers. Activities around the Foreign Secretary somehow betrayed this. I would want to play down the glaring irony- petrol / petroleum products shortages- which to a degree make a mockery of our vast oil reserves. These reserves and revenues- themselves, sources of unrest and political struggles in the Niger Delta: An ugly side of the oil story in Nigeria and a reminder of Sarowiwa’s ultimate sacrifice. Whilst in support of the Niger Delta struggle for development, my sceptism creeps in with the backdrop of the recent amnesty- suffice to say that the end result remains to be seen.

Audience with Hillary Clinton made a good viewing on AIT (African Independent Television). The excitement of the gathering could be seen- questions asked were laden with expectations that could be heard through the laborious emphasis on syntax and the ensuing animation. It was not clear if Hillary Clinton was expected to rid Nigeria of corruption in public offices, rebuild the crumbled (not crumbling) infrastructure, build schools or stabilise the epileptic power supply. Or perhaps the expectation was that at her ‘say so’ and ‘stroke of a pen’ more Dollars will be thrown our way! Surely recent loan forgiveness and debt cancellations should stand the country in a good stead to combat the ‘gremlins’ in the way of our development! The sub-text of her script was ‘you lack the right leadership and vision and have wasted your oil wealth over the years’. And also, there are global economic problems which America is at the centre of, while we (America) will support you- effectively you are on your own’. The message could not be clearer! The talk about our potential to be part of the G20 was a sweetener. Our national pastimes are ‘celebrations’ and ‘extravagance’ which probably originate from individual selfishness. The typical psyché is centred on ‘me and my family’! It is worth noting however that is just one school of thought.

Another strand suggests that probably all America has to offer at the moment is ‘tea and biscuit’ for the reason mentioned earlier- (its own domestic problems), its reputation (as a result of its foreign policy until now) can only be likened to a ‘dirty bomb’ and the weakening ‘dollar’. The dollar once represented the United State’s ‘global dominance’ its main bait for willing allies. It is no surprise then that at a recent gathering of some developing economies there was a call to scrap the weakened dollar as a global currency. Hillary Clinton’s visit to Nigeria then was probably just a disguised public relations project tied to introductory visits to all US Diplomatic Missions in West Africa.

An alternative viewpoint would however promote greater focus on domestic politics in order to meet the need of the electorate. There is ofcourse a need of foreign cooperation through providing enabling policies that will support domestic growth. The European Union shows how this works among member states be it as it may not without criticisms in respect over-regulation and red-tape. Countries (including United States, Britain etc.) need to be inward looking- there are domestic issues like over-taxation, the burden of Social Security, unemployment, poverty (yes, poverty!) to grapple with. The challenges are just as great in advance economies as they are in the third world!

The Nigerian ‘issue’ is unique by the way identified ‘solutions’ continue to be recycled and frustrated by the ‘Nigerian System’; this has left the country in a state of flux where only ‘words’ reign supreme. The energy probe and subsequent involvement of the EFCC in the probing of the panel in charge of probing the energy contracts- is classic. With the best of intentions and good will if the system remains as putrid as it is, the scope for onward development is limited. Hillary Clinton’s message is poignant reminder that ‘we are all alone’. Nigeria should stop searching for a foreign messiah for deliverance from the problems within. We do not need more dollars, we do not need any aid, we do not need more loans! Nigeria needs to put its house in order. Economic, political, social and (lately religious issues) affecting the country need to be addressed. Sharia law, Gboko Haram and Nigeria’s membership of the organisation of Islamic Countries should be food for thought!

About the Author

Yugioh rarity question?

Is ultimate rare different from ultra rare because the attribute and everything is holo?

Card rarity:

Common:
These cards are normal monster, spell, and trap cards that usually have made previous appearances in other booster packs.

Normal Rare:
Normal Rares are identical to Commons, except they are slightly harder to find. Comparable to the now-discontinued TCG Short Print and Super Short Print rarities, Normal Rares only exist in the OCG.

Short Print:
Short Prints are identical to Commons, except they are slightly harder to find. This only existed in the TCG, and were discontinued after "Ancient Sanctuary", but have since been re-introduced in the TCG in "Phantom Darkness".

Super Short Print:
Super Short Print's are identical to Commons and Short Prints, except they are much harder to find. They only existed in the TCG, and were discontinued after "Ancient Sanctuary".

Holofoil Rare:
Holofoil Rares are used for early Gameboy Promos. They are akin to Super Rares, but have a coating very similar to Parallel Common cards. However, this coating has none of the consistent layout and texture of the usual Parallel coating.

Rare:
A Rare card is identified by having a silver card name and the image is not holofoiled. There is a rare in every pack but would be replaced by a something higher than a rare. Starting with "The Duelist Genesis", you can get a rare and a something higher than a rare.

Super Rare:
A Super Rare card is identified by having a black or white card name and the image is a holofoil. More recent video game promo cards have been Super Rares. Currently there is a 1:5 chance of getting one in a booster pack.

Ultra Rare:
An Ultra Rare card is identified by having a gold card name and a holofoil image. The odds of getting an Ultra Rare in a Booster Pack was around 1:12 in Booster Packs before "Soul of the Duelist". From "Soul of the Duelist" onwards the odds became around 1:24. However reprint sets released after "Soul of the Duelist" such as "Dark Revelation Volume 3" use the 1:12 ratio. Although after "Tactical Evolution" the odds dropped back down to 1:12.

Gold Ultra Rare:
Gold Ultra Rare is a new type of rarity introduced in the Gold Series. It has gold lettering and a holographic foil image like an Ultra Rare, but also has a holographic gold image border, lore text border, and card border. On Monster Cards, the Level Stars are embossed in gold foil, similar to what is found on Ultimate Rares.

Ultimate Rare:
An Ultimate Rare card has an "embossed" foil on the Card Artwork, including the borders of artworks, Attribute icon, and on Monster Cards, the Level Stars. The card name is printed gold, like an Ultra Rare. When scanned, the embossed image may be muted and the image indistinct from the background. This card rarity is very hard for Scalers to find, since the card is much thinner than a normal Super Rare or Ultra Rare, with a weight comparable to that of to a Common. Ultimate Rare cards usually also come in a less rare variety that can be found in the same booster with the same card number.
OCG Ultimate Rares tend to scan much better than their TCG counterparts, due to a slightly reflective coating present on all OCG cards (but lacking on TCG cards). This has the advantage of brightening the image, and making the foil image more distinct than on a TCG equivalent. In the OCG, Ultimate Rares have been known to be printed as independent rarities, while they are used exclusively as an additional Booster Pack rarity in the TCG.
On the internet market, Ultimate Rare Cards are often much more valuable than others, even if their effectiveness in the game is only above average.

Ghost Rare:
Ghost Rare is a fairly recent rarity introduced in the TCG version of "Tactical Evolution". It appears to have a very shiny silver lettering, much like a Secret Rare, with some colours removed from the card image. The overall effect of these changes is a pale, "Ghost-like" appearance to the card art, especially when scanned. There are only 8 Ghost Rare TCG Cards: Rainbow Dragon, Elemental Hero Chaos Neos, Rainbow Neos, Honest, Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode, and Power Tool Dragon, which each represent alternative foil patterns for a single secret rare card in their respective sets, with the exception of Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode and Power Tool Dragon. This is the TCG version of Holographic Rare. The odds of obtaining a ghost rare is approximately 1 in every 36 booster boxes (864 booster packs).

Holographic Rare:
Holographic Rare is a fairly recent rarity introduced in the OCG version of Tactical Evolution. It appears to have silver lettering like a Secret Rare Card, with many colours removed from the card image, while the entire card appears to be holographic. Currently, there are 9 Holographic Rare cards: Rainbow Dragon, Rainbow Neos, Elemental Hero Chaos Neos, Stardust Dragon, Honest, Black Rose Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode, Power Tool Dragon, and Ancient Fairy Dragon. This is the OCG version of G
