Buying a degree from any of these universities around in Nigeria can not be difficult.

I am surprised that Tunubu's name has not been mentioned by 5% idiots in the thread.

The SW will support Tinubu or Osinbajo. It depends on who will secure the party mandate. Osinbajo will never face Tinubu in contest. Hear the plan now: Tinubu has declared his intention. No one knows the mind of Buhari. In case Buhari abandon Tinubu, SW will say ok, hear you see Osinbajo. If Buhari reject Osinbajo, SW will say here is Fayemi. If Buhari rejects all the three and opt for Ameachi, SW will redefine their political direction in the Federation. This is the time, 5% tribe ought to have stick to PDP and produce its presidential candidate. SW has no enemy, they have no time to hate "a dot in the circle" tribe. Where APC Buhari disappoints SW, the Igbo could have made advances towards SW for friendship but the blood of hate that runs through them will not allow this. My advice to the children of mud is to apply reasons and offer hands of friendship ac cross the nigher.

Ameachi is from the South South. If he goes for 8 years now, north will have it for another 8 years. When it is the turn of the South again, South west will struggle to get it for another 8 years. When will the east taste power? It is better they support SW now to quicken the period it will rotate to them. For this dispensation, no way for the 5%

Segun Oni is highly inexperienced politically. Under PDP he was first made a Governor through imposition by OBJ. He later lost the throne via court action. When APC was formed, he jumped camp and pitched his tent with APC and was instantly rewarded as the Deputy National Chairman of the party. That was during the first term of Buhari. Approaching 2019 elections, he resigned to contents APC Governorship primary. He lost to Fayemi. He took APC to court and lost. He ran from the party to rejoin PDP. On his way to PDP, Former GoV Niyi Adebayo from Ekiti state was appointed to replace him the as Deputy APC chairman. Same person was eventually made the Minister representing Ekiti state. This man - Segun Oni lost out completely. While on the second trip to PDP, he contested again for Governosrhip primary. Helot to Fayose candidate. He dumped PDP yesterday to go where? If he ever try to join APGA as earluer speculated, that is Ibo party, he is finished for ever.

It is surprising that Igbo is hailing Amaechi for accepting the turbaling. They are willing ti mention Tinubu's name at every threat on this platform. The hatred for Tinubu is because he is a yoruba man. When this man was the Governor of Lagos, all his policies favoured this ingrate people. All the governors he has produced after him has continued in the same favourable policies for this good for nothing flat headed people. Instead for them to promote one of their own, they keep on attacking other candidates from other regions. They have forgetting Peter Obi now hailing Amaechi. They are ready to support Atilu instead of their own - A bunch of confused people. When Channels TV was interviewing Orji Kalu, He quickly mentioned the name of Tinubu - inferiority complex at play. He started saying he had money to spend etc. Have you ever heard Tinubu mentioning or revering to any one. Honestly, the study of Tinubu strategic politicking will be introduced in all universities in the couyntry and to be made compulsory for those from the "5%" states.

Let the state manage civil defense and police remains federal

When buhari was the leader of the defunct CPC, he could not effectively hold the party. He was before then the presidential candidate of ANPP in which he could not hold the party as well. Out of frustration he founded regional party - CPC. The much talk about respect he is having now in APC s because he wielded the executive political power as the president of the country. Actually, the Governors hold the lever of power in the party today. They will determine the next presidential candidate as well as the Party Chairman with the support of the President of Nigeria. The fact is that, the president will honour the unwritten accord between Buhari - CPC and Tinubu - ACN before 2015. the foundation groups in APC are: ACN, CPC, ANPP, APGA and nPDP.
Buhari will honour his part of the deal by ceding power to ACN tendency in the coalition. Tinubu, Osinbajo or Fayemi will hold the ace

Ekiti will not vote for Obi for this singular miscalculation. APGA? This is a party that is rejected by its owner ~ “dot in the cycle”

nzeobi:
People like you will always post rubbish so as to get likes from shallow minded people like you. When obasanjo a Yoruba man contested igbos voted him overwhelmingly.
So nobody hates anybody for the sake of his tribe

In 1999, the Igbo South East voted for Obasanjo against Olu Falae who was the AD/ANPP candidate. Igbo voted for OBJ because there was no alternative. I can assure you in the 2023 election, if Osinbajo of APC stands against Fulani Atku, Igbo will vote Atiku.

Imagine. Each state of the "dot in a circle" people are producing presidential candidates. Anambra - Ngige and peter Obi; Imo - Okorocha; Ebonyi - Anyim and Umahi, Abia - Orji Kalu. For these parochial interest laced with individualist tendency, they will not get anything, yet they will blame Yoruba and Fulani for their woes. Tinubu is the number one candidate of the west, followed by Osinbajo. One of the two is the next president of the country.

Igbo people hate Tinubu. Also, Ayo Adebanjo of Afenifere with Bode George. Yet, Tinubu has not answered them feeling their none existence. Enough of hate so that you can live long. By the time election proper comes, you will see where "a dot in a big circle" people belong.

Continuous attack on Tinubu by the South East Igbo is personal. The hatred is not because of him in person, because of the tribe he belongs to. If Tinubu steps down today for Osinbajo emergence, the same South East Igbo will start the attack. If you want president from Igbo extraction, you must stop hate campaign and offer hands of friendship to other parts of the country. Yesterday, Fulani is a slave master, today they are your friends because of votes. You are eating from the pots of Yorubas and the North, yet you hate them with passion. Out of self inflicted frustration, you said you want to exit Nigeria and at the same time you want to be president of the Zoo! What an inconsistency.

Segun Oni is politically naive. In 2007, he was imposed on the party as its gubernatorial candidate by OBJ. He won the election against Fayemi through fraudulent means. He was declared the governor and sworn in. Fayemi -AD went to court. Victory was reversed in favour of Fayemi. But Oni had spent 3 years on the throne. Thereafter, Oni switched party and decamped to APC in 2015. He was instantly rewarded and made the Vice Chairman of the party. Three years after, he went and contested gubernatorial primary election in 2019. He was defeated by Fayemi. He stupidly took APC and Fayemi to court. He lost! He instantly decamped back to PDP. Having left his post as the Vice Chairman of the party after 2019 election, he was replaced by another Ekiti man - former governor of the state - Niyi Adebayo. As you can see, because of Oni's political naivety, Adebayo was appointed as a minister of Trade in the Buhari Federal cabinet. Oni is left in the wilderness of hopelessness. Underrating Fayose political sagacity in 2022, Oni contested the gubernatorial primary in PDP with crowd of other aspirants. Oni failed to know the implication of the state party executives in the hand of Fayose. However, Oni should not have been surprised that he lost the primary. Who tells you that if he goes ahead to contest under another party aside APC and PDP that he would l win under the current realities. Note that PDP - Fayose and APC - Feyemi imposed unpopular candidates to stand against each other in the forthcoming gubernatorial election. Oni is from Ekiti North Zone which has produced governors severally. Ekiti South Zone has been agitating. Had it been Oni is from Ekiti South, it would be advised to go to Labour Party. With the look of things. APC candidate will win the election as aggrieved aspirants in APC can be assuaged with other political appointments both at the state and federal levels. Remember the stabilizing factor of Tinubu in the political equation. In contrasts, aggrieved candidates in PDP have no hope and hence they will work against Fayose and his candidate. One interesting part is that, if Fayose -PDP candidate failed in the gubernatorial election, and Tinubu is on the ballot for the APC presidential candidate , Fayose will switch camp and work for Tinubu APC. Note that Fayose is having an EFCC criminal case hanging on his neck. He needs Tinubu badly, hence, he will work for him as a mad man.

The work of the party chairman is a thankless one. Ayu will soon be sent parking just like his predecessors[color=

A smart driver

If you work against your people and you are truly hated or rejected by them, you will be the friend of the enemies of your people

Jegede of Ondo and Fayose of Ekiti May get it

Never promote Aketi over his brother governors in the west. He is speaking their minds. Yorubas support their leaders. Tinubu is indisputable political leader. You people hate Tinubu because you hate his entire tribe. All of you forget that average Yoruba leader will benefit all including other tribes in the country. Obasanjo did more to the East than to his native west during his 8 years presidency. Conversely okorocha 8 years was used to construct international statutes and using his little state funds to establish educational foundations for almajiris - what a misplaced priorities

Lagos elite or Governor are speaking with actions. VAT law was passed and signed by the governor within a week. This is seen as ant-North. After this, Sultan of Sokoto refused to shake hands with the Governor in public. Yoruba elite shuns sentiment or unreasonably following other tribes. Irrespective of political leanings, all western governors are one. In fact, Yorubas view Pdp and APC as one party. This same goes for religion. Both Islam and Christianity are seen as foreign.

If PDP and APC zone their presidential candidates to south easy in 2023 elections, PDP will win the election. First, south east will vote for PDP. Yoruba votes will go directionless. Their will be lower voters turnout. The region may share their votes into two. South South and middle belt will vote PDP.

The trouble is that Nigeria is not a producing economy. The dollar we earn comes mostly from oil sales. You need to import some raw materials and machines for production. You can not use Naira to do this. CBN has to exchange your Naira for dollar for you. If CBN is facing dollar shortage, what happens? Rationing set in. If the pressure becomes to much and CBN is not able to meet your dollar demand, you turn to black market. If the demand for dollar at the black market is too high, the exchange rate goes up. That is why the CBN equalization of exchange rate is a joke!!. My Nairalanders, expect hyper inflation occasioned by massive devaluation.

Thanks that peoples are following this thread as economy is paramount than politics. I will try to simplify this issue further. Someone asked me a question what are the stringent measures or conditions that may be attached to Nigeria go to international financial institutions such as IMF or Paris Club to address budget deficit? The term budget deficit means , government expenditure is above planned revenue received in a year. There are two broad categories of government expenditure - capital and recurrent. Power, rail, school and hospital constructions are examples of capital expenditures while payments of salaries and travels expenses are examples of recurrent expenditure. In any healthy economy, capital expenditure is higher than recurrent one. In nigeria, recurrent expenditure is around 70% of the total budget. Going to the real issue, what type of stringent conditions that may be attached to government borrowing from the international bodies? The conditions could be: remove all of oil subsidy and other subsidies, increase the price of power consumption, increase in taxes, devaluation of currency, increase in import duties, freezing of salaries. Some lenders such as China may request that government give them concessions - exclusive rights to operate a certain sector of the economy. For example, China has taken over the airports of Zambia to be managed for the next 100 years. Chinese is the head of Zambia police right now. China has exclusive rights for lumbering in Liberia. Nigeria economy is a very bad shape. If oil price fall continue fo the next 6 months, Naira exchange rate may jump to N1000 to 1 dollar. The antidote to this is if there is fall in import bills. The higher the propensity to import the higher the pressure on the Naira. If Coronavirus hit Nigeria, there is going to be a serious socio-economic dislocation with unbearable surge in crime wave. Let me stop here

Ishiewo:
sir, did you read economics

Yes

This is not a matter of Buhari or whatever name you call him. Whoever steps into the shoe under the current system must equally fail. Nigeria must restructures to enable development.

Oil should be a stimulus for growth and development. Nigeria continues to miss the opportunity. The resources are used to fund and support inequality. The nations refused to develop critical infrastructure - power and rail. The elites are running away from restructuring of the system. The hope is deemed.

What this means is that dollar was exchanged BY CBN for importer AT N357 and N307 for exporter. This means you you pay more Naira to get dollar if you are importing. This goes for payment of school fees abroad and other goods and services. Black market operators also get dollar from CBN at 357 to 1 dollars. That is why at black markets the exchange rate hovers around 358 to 362 to one dollar during the period. Government receives dollar from the sales of her oil which is kept by CBN. Projected budget of government for 2020 is based on oil benchmark price of 57 dollar per barrel. The price of oil has fallen in the global market to below $30. This means that government revenue has fallen substantially as oil accounts for about 90% of export earnings. In order to get more Naira to pay for internal spendings in the country such as payment of salaries and contractors, government must get more Naira. In doing so, quantity of Naira to be exchanged for dollar must be increased. Government doesn’t want to use the term “devaluation” hence it used exchange rate equalization. This means that no more 307, 357 Naira exchange to the dollar anymore but N380 for all multiple exchanges to a dollar. So our official rate to one dollar is now N380. Black market operators will be selling at amount higher than this may be N400 to one dollar depending on the availability of dollar in the market. Remember that over 50 oil cargo of Nigeria is on the see without willing buyers ad the demand for oil has reduced in the international market. The price is on the free fall because of Saudi and Russia price and output war. If the price of oil falls further to say $20 per barrel, Naira nearly collapse. Government may ban importation of less essential goods. It may go and borrow money from from international financial institutions such as IMF with stringent measures. It may devalue the currency further. Those with fixed income will be worse off. Prices of goods and services will go up. Demand for goods and services will fall. It will affect company revenue and lead to job loses.

I need more history on this great town

Business administration is one of the useless courses offered in our universities today. With the dysfunctional execution system I wil advice you go for statistics
