Politics / Re: Foodstuffs Jamb Candidates Donated Vs What Tinubu Donated by 9jatriot(m): 11:35am On Apr 11
Na wa, when they say the followers of lamba king brain small like pea nut, e go be like insullt.

Just judging by the picture you have displayed, a sensible person will know that this is a handover to just one person in a possible long line of people.

If this is a reaction to the 1200-liter water tank Obi donated in Zaria, it is not necessary. His gesture is appreciated especially if that tank is all he could afford for now. Any gift no matter how small must be appreciated.

See what Jamb Candidates donated to an orphanage vs what Tinubu, a billionaire, donated to a woman.

You nailed it
EponObi:


Lmaoooo. You know this man too well. Aptly described.

Obi is not as sophisticated as he always want people to think. And it shows when he grants interview or discuss more technical parts of governance and economy. I would prefer an Atiku presidency than his, tbh. At least Atiku is sound, a better communicator and visionary than Obi. Obi is mundane, politically naive, and a shallow thinker.

Infact, a Dave Umahi administration would be far better. At least, we all saw Umahi's working in Ebonyi during his time as the governor and presenly, everyone - blind and deaf - can testify to his capacity, vision and capability as the minister of works. The Igbos want the center seat and aren't presenting their best. These things aren't hard and can't be force. If e didn't dey, e didn't dey.

If not for the temperament of Wike, he's a better presidential candidate than Obi.

He was criticized in Anambra because of the same types of substandard projects, only to turn around and try to make him a special individual by whitewashing him I had mentioned before that if by a negative stroke of luck he had won the election, the national discuss right now would have been trivilities like "I followed the Aso Rock cook to the market today to ensure they do not buy more food stuff than necessary, I have said it that in my government, no one will become fat".

That is the kind of person he strikes me to be. Not able to conceive legacy projects like the coastal road or refinery.
EponObi:


You've said it all. You can't give what you have not. Another major problem of his is that he's tight fisted, a naira stretcher like Omojuwa rightly described him.

It's good to be frugal but when you are too extreme with it, it becomes a problem.

No one can drive infrastructural development at national scale by frugality. It's impossible. You can't even build a solid brand without spending. Nigerians can already deduce and conclude how his administration will be yield mediocre infrastructure just by examine what he did in the North. Like I said, his people are deceiving him.

America became what they are today not by being frugal. The amount they spend on their military alone is ridiculously crazy.

Obi's frugality negatively showed all through his projects in Anambra as a governor. Even those who suddenly became h
his praise singers because of the election said a lot of his low quality projects. He never wants to spend.

Frugality won't have built the Eko bridges, or the Lagos rail lines or their BRT. Frugality won't have birthed the 700km costal superhighway.
Politics / Re: Borehole Controversy: I Am Disappointed In Obi - Tonto Dikeh by 9jatriot(m): 5:57pm On Apr 10
In fairness to Obi, I am not sure but I do not think Obi called or can call this his project a borehole project. At best we can say he donated a 1,200 litre tank to them.

Look at that tank very well, it does not have an inlet pipe that can suggest that there is a borehole nearby, so I want to believe it is a tank that a water tanker will have to supply water to.

The one he donated in Sokoto is a lot better. The real reason people are not overlooking this is because his mob tries to present him as a saint and he himself is always quick to criticize even when he does not have all the facts. People are just paying him back with his own coins especially as he played into their hands by himself.

Anyway, his gesture even though we all know it is for politics is appreciated. Any gift no matter how small must be appreciated, but someone like Obi should not be anywhere close to power. People like him slow down progress.

You can believe what you want about his involvement in the election. Adamu the former APC chairman and many others also worked against him, why are they also not being prosecuted or persecuted?

As for his case in court... I want to believe that the Nigerian factor will not also be at play here. However, those amended charges came from a forensic report and were very specific. I would have been able to beat my chest to say he is not going to escape with it, but the Nigerian factor is the only reason why I won't.

Recently an EFCC prosecution lawyer was dismissed on suspicion of deliberately buggling cases.

What have you said here now that negates the fact that Buhari believed him and the fake economic theories that he was propagating? Meffy was supposed to be the expert on monetary policies. When the other finance woman was there, he could not perform many of his vandon policies until she was out of the way.

Ways and means beyond the approved limit was Meffy's way of accessing the cookie jar. Look at the amended charge sheet of Meffy to know he was in a different level of coorrupt.

bitbillionaire:


Which Emefiele spoilt Buhari's tenure?

I know you guys have this deadly, blind, unreasonable hatred for Emefiele because of the money swap policy that brought almost unbearable hardship to many Nigerians but does it occur to you that he was only doing Buhari's bidding?

Is it the Emefiele that was so submissive to Buhari too much for his own good even to the extend of printing too much money beyond what the law stipulates just so that Buhari's government doesn't go broke. You clearly do not realise that Buhari's government would have been the most financially broke administration in the history of Nigeria if not because of the money Emefiele was printing for the government with the approval of the National Assembly.

Emefiele and Col. Dasuki who was NSA under Jonathan are suffering the same fate.

Dasuki was using tax payers money and even money Nigeria received as loans to do Father Christmas; dashing politicians and traditional rulers money left right and center with the instruction of Jonathan of course; He was hoping the people receiving the money will use their influence to help Jonathan win re-election. At the end of the day, Dasuki went to jail while Jonathan is walking free.

The same thing is happening to Emefiele, there was Emefiele did that was not authorised and/or approved by Buhari. It is Emefiele that is suffering for it now while Buhari is walking free.

I hope you are not falling for the lies of obidients that he is building numerous boreholes or better put that he is donating numerous tanks in the North. Until we see a list of the places, please do not help them to propagate the lie.


PureFace1:
The standard of borehole Peter Obi is building all over the north is too low for someone that Obidients called the messiah of Nigeria and say will bring Nigeria to the promise land.

If Peter Obi is donating sub standard common borehole like this in the north in this century and people are praising him for it, he will think it is normal to build sub standard and low quality roads, bridges, hospitals etc if he ever get to power in the future and expect people to appreciate it and praise him over it too.

Peter Obi followers claimed he is different from the rest of Nigerian politicians but he is regurgitating the same mediocrity and low standards known all over Nigeria even Ayrr star did better than this.

Peter Obi look down on the north too much, i don't think he can ever commission something as sub standard as this anywhere in the south.

Even Obi will laugh at you codedly. Someone that could not get up to 50% of agents, where then was he supposed to get the votes from? Why do you think he has now abandoned the Church going activity to start staying in Mosque and in the NOrth, it is because he has now started realizing that going to Churches is not enough.

Before the election, every sensible person knew that a person like Peter Obi would not be accepted in the core North. In fact, it is believed that he may have even affected Atiku's chances in 2019. Even he knew, that was why he tried to play the religious card by drawing the attention of the Christians to the Muslim Muslim Ticket of Tinubu, hoping that Atiku and Tinubu will divide the Northern votes, and calling it a religious war in the most infamous call to Oyedipo.

As expected, he came third. The only difference was that where many expected him to come a distant third, he was able to come a respectable third position.

Immediately after the election, he started shouting on every available forum, particularly to his followers that his mandate was stolen and that he could not wait to prove it.

For a man who was shouting that his mandate was stolen, it was shocking to find that he started whispering to the tribunal judges something that sounded like "I know I lost the election but I contested against a man who should not have been allowed to contest at all because I heard one rumor like that that he was asked to forfeit some money in drug-related activities, Not only that, since I won Abuja, I should just be made president, since Abuja people have 2 head."The court was like okay, we have heard but you have to prove that your mandate was stolen, he could not provide even one shred of evidence. Not even one.

So rather than prove that he won the election, he was saying disqualify the man that won the election, forget about the one that came second and just make me president because my followers made me president on Twitter.

Now since that time, we have now seen Peter Obi virtually visit all the Northern states, dragging bread with a small boy about to break his religious fast and commissioning water tanks in the North. This is a clear indication that he has now recognized that no mandate or manhood was stolen from him and is attempting to curry the favor of the North for either 2027, 2031, or even 2039.

The question is will he now have the courage to tell his mob that he has realized how mistaken he was and apologize?
Will he also have the courage to apologize to INEC and its chairman for orchestrating the assault on the integrity of the association on his person?

The good people of Nigeria are happy that at least very soon we will not be exporting crude and importing refined products. That is a major milestone, reduction in price is secondary.

Now there are people who will work in the refinery, those people will inturn take care of their dependants, many will rent houses in that axis thereby driving economic activities.

With more people having better purchasing power, hotels, super markets, recreational centres and many other businesses will open up in that area to service the people who work there.

Another area people forget is that Dangotte will also be exporting it, if that happens, we will also have diversified a little and have another source of foreign exchange.

Refinery will need supplies, people with business sense are already taking up positions to provide services.

There will be a lot of consulting firms also taking up positions.

It is not just the elite and politicians that do these things. Most folks who form innocent and sometimes complain the most are even the worst. Many politicians do not understand finance that much so their own is even simple to deal with, it is those sophisticated investment bankers that are more difficult to deal with.

I just got a spark on one use case for this policy. One thing guys used to do was take cheap loan from the bank, buy USD sometimes up to 1 million USD at official rate, when black market increase, they sell off. During Meffy's time, the gap was 650-450, so you did not even need it to increase during his time as the 200 naira different was more than enough. Imagine 200 naira times 1 million dollars, all made using the banks money without an industry or breaking a sweat.

Sometimes, the collateral to the loan itself was the dollar that you purchased with the loan. I believe this is the real target of the CBN. The era of using loans at 16% to buy USD, and then using the same USD as collateral is gone. With MPR now at 24.5%, sourcing for loans will already be high so using it to buy USD will no longer be attractive.

Now I know having an accountant as a president seems to have its advantage at the end of the day.

CBN has done a lot of things right in recent times that even when we do not understand their actions, we somehow know that they are trying to achieve an aim.

Who else has noticed that Lamba king is now careful not to criticize the CBN in particular. When USD was increasing arbitrarily, he was always quick to release trader-level economic advice to make his followers think he knew what he is doing.

He was hoping that USD goes north of 2500 naira. I hope he learns that there is more to life than just saving cost.

Thank God most of his suggestions were at variance with those of the CBN otherwise his mob would have claimed that CBN took his advice to make the little progress they have been making.

Your head de there. CBN was following them to increase official rate as they were increasing their black-market rate. So when they bought at 900 and sold at 1300, by the time they came back to buy the official rate at 900, CBN had also moved it to 1250, then they went to 1600, official rate followed them to 1550... So even though many of them thought they were making a profit, in the real sense they were not, especially those who wanted to do round tripping. Only those who bought and held with no intention to buy again can be said to have made profit.

Not only that, when they were doing their misdemeanor, CBN was using that time to clear their FX backlog to businesses. It was not until they were done with that did they start selling to the BDC.

CBN did 2 can play the game with them.

Politics / Electricity Price Increase: Why Are Nigerians Now Running From Band A? by 9jatriot(m): 7:01pm On Apr 07
Band A only promises 20 hours per day, yet since the price increase, many people are now trying to ensure they are not in band A despite crying for 24hrs power like in 'saner climates' all these years.

One thing I have noticed about us Nigerians is that we brag a lot particularly when a service or product is not yet available. If you were to do a market survey before introducing a product or service into the market, a lot of folks will tell you that the product you want to introduce is what they have been waiting for in years, then when you follow their mouth and invest in it, then you will start hearing stories. A lot of businesses have suffered that fate in Nigeria.

So, how does this compare to the hike in electricity? It is because, before now, many folks used to say we pay for darkness but they are ready to pay any amount as long as they have constant power. The keyword here is that they are ready to pay any amount. Since the increase in price for those in Band A, we have been inundated with cries even by those who by the different band definitions do not even qualify for any band not to talk of being in Band A.

Some folks who have some level of constant power are even saying they should remove them from band A, which implies that they do not want power of up to 20 hours again. I find this very funny.

The same thing with fuel subsidy removal. Before the removal, almost all the analysts and call in on TV and Radio programs made successive governments look stupid for paying subsidy payments in trillions and advocated for the removal of subsidy. When all the major candidates all said they would remove the subsidy, each supporter hailed their candidate for it. Yet as soon as the subsidy was removed, the same folks who used to brag that they had the money and were ready to pay whatever amount suddenly turned activists against the removal.

Nigerians like to brag themselves into trouble and then start crying later.
