Business: Dollar slides versus yen, euro on U.S. political uncertainty

As at Yesterday 3rd April, 2017. The dollar fell against the Japanese yen and euro on Monday, as uncertainty about U.S. congressional support for President Donald Trump's choice for Supreme Court justice revived doubts about his ability to fulfil his economic agenda. "The more you see the lack of achievement on the part of the administration with respect to its campaign goals, the rougher it's going to be for the dollar," said Joe Trevisani, chief market strategist, at WorldWide Markets in Woodcliff, New Jersey. "If we see the administration not able to advance the Supreme Court nomination, then it means down the road that it is not likely to achieve its goals on trade, on tax reform, and the possible stimulus. That would hurt dollar," he added. Democrats on Monday amassed enough support to block a U.S. Senate confirmation vote on Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Neil Gorsuch, but Republicans vowed to change Senate rules to ensure the conservative ju

A dog died saving dozens of people at a wedding party in Maiduguri after it attacked a suicide bomber, an official said. The dog stopped the teenage suicide bomber from detonating her explosives in the crowd. The dog, according to the police, belonged to a resident of the neighbourhood where the wedding took place. The suicide bomber was about making her way into the gathering at the wedding before the dog pounced on her. The girl, whose original mission appeared to have been thwarted, detonated her explosive while battling to wriggle herself from the canine grip of the dog. The gallant dog paid the supreme sacrifice as it died alongside the suicide bomber. Spokesperson of the Nigeria Police Force in Borno State, Victor Isuku, said the incident happened around 7:30a.m. in Belbelo community of Jere Local Council in Borno State. “Information just received indicate that today (yesterday) around 0733hours (7.33am), a female suicide bomber with IED strapped to her body,

Comment on this: Would you remain friends with an ex?

Image
Yes, except he treated me badly – Annette Cookey, Singer  Yes I sure will, only if we had a decent break up. Sometimes we make wrong choices in partners, but that doesn’t mean he or she is a bad person, it’s just the simple fact that we both couldn’t get along like we thought or hoped we would. But in a case where he was abusive, violent or treated me like rubbish… then I will have no choice but to totally avoid him. It depends, but your ex should be your best friend – Empress Njamah, Actress  It depends on how the relationship ended. An ex is not meant to be an enemy, he is meant to your best friend because he or she know is supposed to know 80% about you. Sometimes, due to nasty break-ups as a result of cheating and so on, you just know that you both shouldn’t even see face-to-face. An ex is still meant to be your friend but it all depends on how you guys broke up. In some cases, you both sit down and agree on why you both can’t continue with the relationship and why you should

TUNDE had been separated from his wife for years. She  lives abroad and they are good friends. After years of enjoying the single life, he eventually fell in love and things started going horribly wrong. His story: “I am a medical doctor with a thriving private practice.

Not to mention her smashing figure. “She’d just helped push a soft loan I desperately needed to refurbish the hospital when I asked her to lunch as a ‘thank you’ gesture.
