THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON DEVELOPING ECONOMICS Abstract This study examines the impact of globalization on developing economies, with a specific focus on Nigeria. Premised on Marxist Theory and utilizing qualitative research methods, the study investigates the effects of globalization on Nigeria's economic growth, poverty reduction, and income inequality. The findings reveal that globalization has had a multifaceted impact on Nigeria's economy. While it has contributed to economic growth through increased foreign investment and trade, it has also led to increased income inequality and dependence on foreign capital and technology. The benefits of globalization have not been evenly distributed, with certain segments of the population benefiting more than others.

The naira has been listed among the worst-performing currencies in Sub-Saharan Africa in 2024. This is according to the latest edition of Africa’s Pulse, a new report by the World Bank. As of the end of August 2024, the naira had depreciated by approximately 43 per cent year-to-date, making it one of the region’s weakest currencies alongside the Ethiopian birr and South Sudanese pound. The depreciation of the naira is attributed to several factors, including surging demand for United States dollars in the parallel market, limited dollar inflows, and delays in foreign exchange disbursements by Nigeria’s central bank.

By EgbemaVoice, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has said that granting full autonomy to Nigeria’s 774 local government areas could lead to “humongous chaos” and hinder sustainable development. Governor Soludo made this statement on Tuesday at the Governor’s Lodge in Amawbia, Awka, after signing the Anambra State Local Government Administration Law, titled “Anambra Local Government Administration Law 2024.” The law was passed by the State House of Assembly last Thursday. Soludo argued that absolute autonomy for local government areas is impossible and would create chaos due to the attendant challenges. He said that Section 7 of the constitution empowers state governments to enact laws for local government administration, highlighting the importance of state oversight. “The absolute autonomy to the 774 local government areas in the country is an impossibility,” Soludo said. “In fact, it is a recipe for humongous chaos. The attendant challenges before the issue of local gov

BREAKING NEWS: IJAW NATIONAL CONGRESS PRESS RELEASE: IN RIVERS STATE; NIGERIA SHOULD BEWARE OF THE IDES OF MARCH: We are once again compelled to make our interventions on the various crises in Rivers State which are contrived and engineered to truncate democracy with the evil agenda of impeaching the duly elected governor of Rivers State, Amaopusenibo Siminialayi Fubara.

By EgbemaVoice, A report was delivered by the Director of Socials regarding a fire outbreak in Agenebode, Edo state, targeting Hausa/Fulani-operated charging centers. Sources suggest this was retaliation for a kidnapping incident involving a young boy, allegedly perpetrated by Hausa/Fulani individuals. The boy's brother reportedly recognized the voice of one of the kidnappers, a Hausa resident, during a Facebook call demanding ransom.  The brother mobilized and had the suspects arrested, with evidence found including the victim's phone. However, upon searching, it was discovered the boy had been killed and buried. Local youths, notably the Otukwe boys, prevented the police from transferring the suspects to Benin for further investigation, leading to destruction of property and threats of further action.
