Most positions occupied by SE are not useful at all

Before you say why complaining, no it's not a complain, I only advocate for people to own up to their nepotism with full chest. If you decide to be nepotistic then be proud of it
Every region get what dey deserved…

Some people worked for the government to emerged and you think they to do to get left out from the juicy appointments?

PoliticsRe: Dollar Was Never Around N150 In 2010 by Abbeytoy(m): 11:53pm On Jul 18, 2025
SalamRushdie:
You have come to embarrass yourself self again on the altar of needless sycophancy, since dollars wasn't 150 in 2010 why do t you tell us what it was and and how much was being used to subsidized one dollar ? There is nothing like currency subsidy , Central banks have a mandate to manage the demand and supply of foreign currency, it's called currency defense , even the Tinubu govt is heavily doing it today if not the the price of the Naira should be 1950 as we speak ... if Jonathan was subsidizing the Naira was he also subsidizing the GDP per Capita which was 3400 dollars ? But today under Tinubu it's a miserable $800..Was Jonathan also subsidized FDI which was the highest is Africa through our his tenure but today Tinubu can't even attract 1.2 billion dollars..

If Tinubu had his policies right . the naira will be nowhere near 1600 it is now ..the man in a bid to rapidly enhance Oando made a huge miscalculation of moving Petro price to 590 not realizing that would trigger attendant inflation and also affect the demand for forex ...The man knows nothing about economics and even you will agree at the end of his tenure because he will have no result anywhere
You made a good point in your submission, but I think I have some explanation to do, using facts rather than emotions.

1. You're very correct.
Throughout the 2010s, the ₦150 rate was not fixed. During Goodluck Jonathan's early administration, the price ranged between ₦150 and ₦170. The crucial issue, however, is not the number itself, but how it was maintained.

Did you know that the CBN sold dollars below market value, typically at ₦150, despite rising parallel rates? That difference was bridged with petroleum earnings and even external borrowing in order to preserve an exchange rate that Nigerians could emotionally accept, rather than one based on genuine market fundamentals.

2. You are also correct that the CBN's responsibilities include currency management. However, when a government spends borrowed money or reserves to maintain an artificially low exchange rate even when demand vastly outstrips supply, this is a subsidy in essence, but not in name. Whether we term it "defense" or "subsidy," the final result is the same: we concealed the true value of the Naira by excessive spending.

3. You are somehow correct again, but not with the same level of borrowing or black market manipulation as previously. And there is the difference. The Tinubu government's market-friendly policies have resulted in a stable real rate of ₦1500-₦1560 for almost 2 years.

4. GDP per capita and FDI are valid economic statistics, but they do not fluctuate solely due to exchange rates or individual policies.

GDP per capita fell significantly due to population growth surpassing GDP growth, oil revenue instability, the COVID aftermath, and structural economic vulnerabilities.

FDI also fell globally following COVID and Nigeria's internal insecurity, not just due to Tinubu's one-year policy.

Better oil prices, lower inflation, and more debt space all contributed to Jonathan's success. However, the current environment is more challenging.

5. Regarding Tinubu's Petro Pricing and Oando Claims:
The reduction of petrol subsidies was unavoidable. For more than 20 years, we've all agreed it's unsustainable; even Jonathan tried it in 2012.

Yes, it caused inflation, but prolonging the pain has only made matters worse. If it is proven that this benefits Oando, it should be called into question. However, economic transformation has always been messy before it improved.

I am not here to defend any politician blindly. However, I would rather that we deal with economic reality rather than political bias.

Whether it's Jonathan, Buhari, or Tinubu, Nigeria's problem is that we've spent a lot of money to avoid facing reality.

For the first time in decades, the naira's exchange rate reflects its true market value rather than a feel-good fiction. That isn't "embarrassing"; it's simply uncomfortable honesty.
PoliticsRe: Is This How Little President Tinubu Values The South-south Region? by Abbeytoy(m): 9:54pm On Jul 18, 2025
Hemanwel:
Chief E. K Clarke, the Pan-Niger Delta Elder Statesman died, President Tinubu never paid condolence visit nor attended his burial. But a businessman from Kano - Dantata - has died, he wants to pay the full State a condolence visit.

Fellow South-southerners, our mumu neva do?? This is how little Tinubu values us! A whole elder statesman oh!
They've never had anything in common and are enemy, so why should Tinubu fake pity because he's a president? Anyway na you know him as an elders state man, Mr president did not see him as one.

PropertiesRe: Landlord Sold House Before My Rent Expired by Abbeytoy(m): 11:11am On Jul 15, 2025

Hello Nairalanders,

I need your advice urgently.

I rented a self-contained apartment in Lagos, and my rent is valid until the end of October this year. Just recently, I was informed that the landlord has sold the house.

Now here’s what happened:
• They refunded half of my rent (without my prior agreement),
• And issued me a 3-month notice to vacate.

I never agreed to terminate my tenancy early or to receive a refund — they just gave me the money and served the notice. I feel like I’m being indirectly forced out before the agreed expiration date of my rent.

Please, I want to know:
1. Is this legal under Lagos tenancy law?
2. Can they harass or pressure me out of the house since it’s now sold?
3. What steps can I take if I want to stay until my rent expires in October?

I’ve heard that once rent is paid and acknowledged, even a new landlord must honour the agreement. Is this true?

Please, lawyers and those familiar with Lagos tenancy law, I’d appreciate your input. I don’t want to be bullied or treated unfairly and also 3 months is too short for me


Thanks in advance!
When did they give you back the money?

You should have not collected it, however they’re on the right track.

They should have served you 6 months before the exploration of your rent, but according to you now, you still have 3 months left, so they’ll still give you another 3 months if you can’t find house follow by 7 days. Then, they can send your property out. Note that you’ll pay your extra 3 months o, else they decided to give you

As of today in Osun State politics…

Adeleke as incumbent governor get 40%
APC get 35%
While ADC get 25%

If you’re familiar with politics, you won’t have issues contesting this.

So I believe Adeleke is in trouble and negotiating with APC is his best option.
