ScamHunter:
Its people like you hiding your heads in the sand that gives evil doers the confidence to do evil. Commonsense should told you that the easiest way to stop Obi is by disenfranchising Igbo, his tribe and SS, where he has the highest support base.

Buhari and APC did exactly that in 2015, why wont Tinubu and APC repeat same if it worked for Buhari? Those of us in the north in 2015 saw them hiding lists such as EZ ...because they're aware that Ezekiel and Eze weren't voting Buhari. Someone saw where they his the list that was why Igbo people under that list could vote in the polling unit.

Stop supporting rubbish to sound tolerant and woke. One more thing, I don't care who you vote. Vote in another idiot and the country, not just Igbo would suffer it.

Wahala for who no understand English ooo.

Pls read my comment again, but this time, do it slowly and gently. Afterwards go back and read what you wrote.

I'm sure you know that the guy is not daft .... He'll be at the airport while the swearing in of the new governor of kogi state will be going on.

Trying so hard to disenfranchise the Igbo community in Lagos and SE.

Has anyone else noticed that this things only happens in SE States or Igbo dominated areas outside the SE.

They claim PO is wasting his time, but they are so scared that they are ready to block all avenues so he doesn't get votes.

Guy, comments as yours is the reason why some people are reconsidering voting for Peter Obi. Who are the Igbos? Aren't they Nigerians?

You should say they're trying to disenfranchise Nigerians in places where it seems like PO has upper hand and not make it sound so sectarian. If all tribes vote for their tribesman, I'm sure you know who the winner is going to be.

Learn the PR thing or don't bother commenting jare.

I thought he's been found alive some days ago!

Even the blind could see it

Initially, I pity the Banks blaming all on CBN Governor and Buhari. But these same Banks failed to give the poor masses just little for basic needs except the polithiefians and the rich.

One of the psquare brothers said he paid 70k for 400k, now someone who's total balance in the acct is just 35k can't even have 5k from it.
All these thieves known as politicians have millions of these new naira notes, how did they get it? My friends husband is a politician, he bags of this new notes stashed at home already. My brother in-law paid 800k for 20M. It became avenue for making personal money to Bank managers and their staffs. Emefiele was right when he said Banks are refusing to give out the new notes, that's because they sell it to the highest bidders and thereby the common masses do not have access to just 10k. It saddens me that giant of Africa has been reduced to what it is today due to greediness and selfishness of everyone in one top position or the other
Although rioting is not the solution

People are still not getting it... There's a fundamental issue in the country. Lemme break it down.

Let's say you've just been made the branch manager of Bank ABC in one of their branches on the island. As the manager, you've asked for a report of your biggest customer to be spooled from the core banking application, and you want the list to show your top 50 wealthiest customers.

If the first 20 on the list make up for 60% of your branch's CASA (ask your banker friends for the meaning), and you know that the performance of your branch depends heavily on your ability to retain these class of customers, then the new Naira policy came into effect, and those high class customers normally would not visit the branch for anything, they normally would call or email you to make their request.

How would you have handled the situation if 10 out of those big customers called you to demand for 50 million Naira cash each of new notes?

Plus, 7 of those 10 making it clear that if you don't provide the funds, their friend's son who works in bank XYZ has been poaching them to transfer their money to his bank, that they might want to explore that option while advicing their other big friends who banks with you to follow suit.

You're looking at loosing potentially up to 10 trillion Naira deposit to competitor just because of cash withdrawal demand from 7 big guys. How would you handle the situation?

Legitisreal:
He has already

Tinubu is not looking to buy votes in igboland or SS

It's the north, let's now see how northerners would leave theirs for him with his baggages

I'm not a Tinubu fan but you should pls bring down that picture.... The date reads May, 2021 and this is February 2023 man!

Bring it down I take God beg you.

It's because supreme Court should not have entertained the matter in the first place

According to which constitution?

chiefolododo:
checks and balancing, I like those words but in this case they are trying to unbalance the situation on ground

I take this your final submission as agreeing with me because it seems like you've fallen out of the argument.

Presidential orders can only be potent on some matters that are yet to be tried in court or a matter that has a judgement passed on it by a competent court of law.

His order cannot be passed on a matter that is still being presided upon by the court, else we will defeat the purpose of checks and balancing, or there won't even be a need to have a court in the first place since judgements can be bypassed by orders.

chiefolododo:
the word supreme means that the court is superior to appeal and tribunal courts, not that it is superior to other arms of government

Normally, the judiciary (which the supreme court falls under) serves as a check and balance on the other arms of government. So when cases that are being presided upon by the apex court is being upturn right before judgement is pronounced, then where's the checks and balancing that is originally the constitutional power of the court?

chiefolododo:
You don't go against presidential orders, it is not constitutional. The supreme court does not have all power to itself

Then you either don't understand what is meant by the word "supreme" or you don't understand that any order whether presidential or executive for that matter, does not have potency on issues that is still under hearing at a competent court of jurisdiction.

Executive orders can come in after the court had made its final rulings, and there by upturn the court's judgement. This is what is obtainable when presidential pardon is granted to criminals.

Buhari cannot grant presidential pardon to Abba Kyari (the super corp) while he's still being tried by a competent court of law. That's how it works, and same goes for a case that is still being debated in court.

Interesting times we're in...

We can only hope but the handwriting on the wall suggests that there might not be any elections... Fingers crossed.

YinkaOlusesi16:
Mr macaroni is right, but Tinubu will change things Am very sure of that. The problems of Nigeria is not now, the military regime has caused Nigeria a lot of damage.

Stop shifting the goalpost... If truly the problems of Nigeria predates this current administration, no wahala, can we please have our Nigeria back the way it was when you guys were sworn in?

The military regime of who exactly? I guess you're still referring to that of Buhari when he was the head of state.

Naija which way?

It's actually got nothing to do with network. Their network is still functioning in top speed, but the challenge with those banks mobile apps is the sheer increase and unprecedented traffic they're experiencing. Mobile banking app users have increased tremendously since this draconian cash-trapped rule was set in motion.

To those who think this jungle economics of draining cash in the system will curb vote buying or handicap politicians from malpractices at the forthcoming elections, you guys just need to think again. You're living in your own fantasy world.

Naija na another planet on its own o... In other planets, leadership is about easing the pains of citizens and making life easier for them but in our own planet, punishing the people is actually interpreted as good governance.

I'm still waiting to see anything positive about the whole NIN madness when we already have BVN

jeromestarks:
This POS boy charged me N800 to give me 20k (totalling 20,800).

All is even old notes o.
Nigerians are the problem of Nigeria. Government is doing their best. Buhari is trying his best but the citizens are the major problem of this country. Haba!

I couldn't return it because I needed cash (transfer no dey work well well - network problem).
Don't even get me started on the number of people waiting at ATM. It's not easy.

How is it in your side?

I was told to pay same 800 Naira for just 10k by a POS operator yesterday..... I feel the POS agents at your area are still God fearing compared to the demons here.

Most of them even say they can only disburse 2k or 100 naira for every 1k.

Naija na another planet on its own.

jmoore:
Idiots!!!

Must you put money inside water to detect if it is fake or not?

Why do some of you adopt stone age methods?

You don't have to call anybody names before you criticize their opinion.

Life no hard o, na you no jus wan stop to dey wear armor upandown...

Tell us what to do instead and not just come online to insult anyone you see or deem fit.

honour7:
That is why the cbn says the notes should only be dispensed through ATMs, this policy is well planned out, you cannot swap currencies, you can only deposit to your account and then withdraw from there.

So the problem these people are facing is how do you deposit a large amount of money without alerting the EFCC

They're a million and one ways to do that without alerting EFCC and every one of them know it except you.

Between 80 to 90% of them have filling stations and we all know these stations deal in cash. Hope you can use your tongue to count your teeth now?

kingsways:
When you have the kind of monumental corruption as the type in Nigeria, you have to pay the price to end it

Buhari as a calamity is not a coincidence if you take into account the kind and pedigree of people we have in this country.... I have carefully held my thoughts to myself from your first post until you made this comment.

When you say Nigerians are corrupt, is it the commoners who rely solely on daily buying and selling as their means to an end that is corrupt? For your information this draconian law is actually targeted at a minority few but the effects will be on 200 million Nigerians. Funny thing is that the few people he's trying to deal with will seamlessly call the MDs of their bank to ask for the new notes and trust me, those funds will be delivered to their homes.

It is your type and kinds that surrounds Buhari and they're the ones drumming up support for all these madness. The same way he closed boarders hoping that it'll make Nigerians go to farm without tackling his kinsmen that are killing farmers and keeping people away from farms.

Election is approaching true true

@op, this is the easiest case I've ever seen.

Lemme gi e you the hint on how to go about it.

Tell your current employer to give you another legit employment letter with a different job role that's different from anything related to your original field at your former company.

Make sure you sign it with the exact date you signed when you actually got the job.... I mean postdatedly.

Then get a competent lawyer and gallantly walk to court on the said date with your lawyers. Present your employment letter that shows you're actually working as something else different from what you really are..... Make sure all documents relating to what you really are is trashed or kept away from police or the court. It is your word against their. You now work in another company, not theirs, and they can't say they have facts about another company when in fact, the legal documents (i.e your employment letter) says otherwise.

MEGA4BILLION:
So your bank charges you for using POS after the normal charges by agents?
Then you need to change your bank

The bank doesn't have any business with you.... They charge the company that owns the POS that you use and the company in turn, pass the burden to you... Or does Opay have any bank of their own ni?

Goodlady:
I made sense. You are the one that can't comprehend.
If I flip the table, I ll be fast in settling down. I never said the man shouldn't accommodate his sister. It should not be for long. And it's not good for relations to be visiting too much including wife's kins too.

So what will be your fate if you're unable to settle down fast as you'd wished?

Would it be nice if your siblings turn their back at you because there's a daughter of Jezebel somewhere that doesn't like family members (in this case you) visiting?

This female gender se, na God go help una!

Goodlady:
Justified. She's 100% justified.👍
You men don't realise that women don't like too much visiting from relatives. It brings unnecessary clashes. Moreso, will you lie that you don't v sex with your girlfriend? When your sister is around, will you be comfortable to sleep with her in her presence or you share different rooms?
Your sister is suffering from bad choice in her relationship life.
Assist your sister in getting apartment and settling down asap.
Your girlfriend is your future wife, you won't marry your sister.

Flip the table and imagine you're the sister of that young man....how will you feel hearing what you just said from your fellow gender?

You're not talking sense abeg!

If you're lucky to have made the right choice on the kind of man to marry, do you not have any sympathy for those who genuinely thought they made the right choice but ended up with the wrong man? Or in your world, those kind of ladies should go and perish because your kind are lucky and there's no place those the unlucky ones.


Women are the number 1 problem of their gender.

MEGA4BILLION:
People are no longer interested in using banks ATM. No need to travel long distance to ATM and at the same time get charged for withdrawals when you can comfortably make your withdrawals at any POS next to you. Commercial banks are happy they loosing out on ATM withdrawal charges thus the gang up against POS agents.

And who told you banks don't still make money from the 100 Naira you're charged by the POS operators?

Dey play you hear...

nairalee:
I cannot forget when Chris Ngige (Minister of Labour) said they are free to go and that we have more than enough doctors in Nigeria. What has changed? This is what you get when you have an ineffective government with senseless officials

I kid you not, that's the first thing that crossed my mind as I saw the headline.

Maxitomxane:
Adiye gaa asin (tall chicken) in yoruba

I'm not from ilorin oo..
I only school here

Gaá as in Fulani settlement... Like how they'll say Gaa Imam

Maxitomxane:
Wow, i thought these were fulani hens, being in ilorin ...
So a fulani chicken is as tall as a kuroiler, that's nice!
Well, almost all their animals are tall here, their local dogs and goats are quite tall too.

Smiles.... I'm from kwara State myself so I can relate. Go to their local market and tell them you want to buy adiye gaa... That's what they call it.

Maxitomxane:
I'll post a picture of chickens today.
I think they are fulani chickens.

If that picture is anything to go by, I can confirm to you that those are not Fulani chicken. They're usually very tall and big. You'd notice their unusual hight and body mas. Although not in anyway or form as massive as boilers but they compete well with slightly above average sized Kroiler birds.

Their main advantage over Kroiler or noiler is their decease resistance just like our normal locals.

Siberia01:

Still baffles me how this is news
With a country of over 60 years of independence

In this clim, it's a news because this sort of project is not common. How many states in Nigeria can boast about something like this?
