Not only do they bring you information from the parallel/black market rates across 3 cities (Abuja, Lagos & PH) in Nigeria, they also show you the comparison of the rates in the Diaspora(Abroad folks).
Have Fun.
Igbo Bu Nwane, More Inter-Org Networking needed by you ICSN. By now you should be a Nationally recognised organisation being called upon to comment on issues relating to Africa in general and Biafra / Nigeria in particular. The Support aspect of your title needs to now be looking at what provision is made for an aging Igbo population in the West. Those who have lost contact with the extended family and will increasingly look to the state for support. This is where ICSN can make a real difference and a real impact. Ideas like Adopt an Elder would resonate across all ages and benefit all ages. Follow me on Twitter @ CoachRNC

Eight of these are vowels,
Nine are blends and
Nineteen are consonants.
The mixture of Igbo Vowels and Consonants make 36 Igbo Alphabets.
