Haha this clown thinks he will be president. Hahaha. Haha. He has already been set up. The same way abacha used bamaiyi to set up diya. No way Hausa man will let this guy be president. They will set him up or already have, saying he took some apc donations money and call it a bribe. Yorubas, when will you learn that Hausa man don't like or respect you. Look at what they have done to your leaders, ogundipe, awo, mko, diya etc. it was only your region they had the guts to divide and make the mid west. You keep enslaving yourselves. As Marley said, u need to
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery

Haha. I love you guys the Yoruba, but u have put yourself in a lose-lose situation. You have gone against every other tribe in Nigeria to support the Hausa man and be his boy. Every other tribe apart from youare against buhari and his tribalistic cabal except you. So if GEJ wins, u r an outcast, if GMB wins u r a slave and still an outcast. And osibanjo or osunbade as buhari calls him will never be president. Never!! Until the Hausa man serves at least 16 years to make up for lost time. Haha.hahaha. Hahahahahaha

What we call corruption in Nigeria is not really corruption per se but rather embezzlement, a fancy word for stealing. Corruption in developed countries generally refers to and is punished as bribery, nepotism/favoritism compared to embezzlement which is generally punished under theft or embezzlement.

That's the point Jonathan tried to articulate but Nigerians are too hungry or stupid to understand such intelligence. They would prefer to listen to a half-mad, semi-literate, near senile, jihadist puppet that when u pull its string, its says cworruption. That's all he can do. He can't fight it. He doesn't even know what it is. In all areas of problem-solving whether medical, technological, financial, the first thing to do is identify the problem as accurately as possible and then solve it. That's what Jonathan has done. And that's what Jonathan, using technology and sound, accounting practices has been and will keep on doing. But Nigerians are too stupid to understand such an intricate point, they attack the messanger like Socrates and Galileo were. Jonathan who is a phd holder, a professional academic cum politician like Obama, a true philosopher-king, they call him clueless. Sad.

Good thinking, good product!!!


I am begining to wonder how come upon the shouting by politicians how devilish the devaluation is the following products prices remain unchanged :
1. Garri
2. Rice
3. Okrika wakeup
4. Plantain
5. Beans
6. Palm oil
etc.

I know that I am clueless about basic economics, but an average Nigeria needed, food, shelter and clothing.

I begin to wonder again, to whose benefit do these politicians campaign on devaluation? It can only be to themselves. They gain more when N1 = $1. I never knew this until now, thanks OP.

Another angle again, a weak naira will encourage foreign investment. The reason is that labour becomes very cheap. Our sisters and brothers in UK, USA, CHINA, JAPAN, can come back home to invest and have a good return for their money.

CONCLUSSION : Nigeria is a great nation let us salvage it together. We will make it!!!

Its going to cause inflation on a lower scale on those products because 2 of the basic raw materials of those products which are petrol and fertilizer are heavily subsidized. And we don't export those items.
A better place to look is electronics and appliances, imported clothes and cosmetics, cars.

You are wrong on this. Nigeria is still too underdeveloped for this. No country on earth, none, likes a falling currency. But for some countries that have substantial local production, its beneficial as a short term measure to help boost or protect market, jobs or in the case of the Americans protecting their banks by boosting their reserve. But its always a short term measure.

Nice try but the mistake you made is that Japan and Nigeria are way too different. You are comparing oranges and apples. You have to analyze this topic in a larger context of the country involved. That's why its called macro economics. A better comparable country isRussia and on a lesser degree south Africa or Brazil. In Nigeria, exporters like Nollywood might still benefit but because Nigeria exports so little and imports so much, its going to be a net loss for usa

KevinBrown:

Kai, Nigerians we are funny o. Whenever we hear that the value of the Naira has fallen more deeper, we will start panicking. "Ah jonathan see what you have done to us...." Some are even saying Buhari will make $1=N30. (Mind you I'm a buhari supporter).
A lot of people don't know how economic works. Have you ever wondered why countries like China and Japan are artificially devaluing their currencies?
Advantages of a Weak Currency:
* Imports become more expensive:
It's an advantage, believe you me. If our currency becomes weaker, importing goods and services from abroad will become expensive, and this in turn will cause demand for local goods and services (which will be relatively cheaper). Some will say local goods (and services) are inferior, but over time, it will develop.
Some critics will also be against a weak currency because now the iPhone 6 they are supposed to buy for N150,000 now cost over N200,000. Yeah that's good. Spend the money on nigerian made products, and perhaps with local patronage, they will also be able to develop an iPhone-quality product.
* Traveling outside the country will also become expensive:
This is also good. All those people (depleting our foreign reserve) sending their kids abroad to study, perhaps its time to come home.
All those dubai crazed shoppers, perhaps it's time to visit Tinapa in Calabar.
The list goes on and on...
If you should look at it with an unbiased mind, u will realize its the rich that has more to gain with a strong naira.
Now is time to develop our own local industry and economy. So join me to pray that 1 barrel of oil falls to $5.
Now is the time to get off the oil driven economy

APC is a collection of all the failures of Nigeria. From the unelectables like buhari due to senility and tinubu due to corruption to known bokoharam sponsors like nyarko and kwankwaso

That's our boy.

It seems the fulani are impatient. They have already started collecting their dividends of democracy. You know their oga Buhari is running in the election and has been able to bamboozle some Yoruba to support him.

You have to control your puppet now.

Orji Kalu was a great state governor. Him, Yaaradua and the elder Saraki set the standard when it came to performing among state governors

APC is a party of well known thieves. Nyarko, tinubu, atiku, amaechi.

I admire Buharis modesty and anti corruption stand. I think although Jonathan performed better than obj, he was still arguably below standards or performed right at par. But the main reason, I'm supporting PDP and GEJ is that APC is a fake party filled with not only corrupt politicians but unabashedly tribalistic jihadist politicians with blood on hands.

Mogidi:
@ suwailad
Are you Hausas so stupid you'd allow someone from a minority state to decimate your land? You've bought the hype by those who intended keeping you on a leech to continue their feudal reign. Try one of GEJ's Almajiri schools, you deserve better than this.

I couldn't have said it better.

Damn. That's an expensive sandwich. If i give N1, will they sandwich me like that. Am PDP all the way but wouldn't mind being between two such beautiful ladies.

Mogidi:


That picture has been debunked on twitter, try surfing to other domains on the net rather being the local Nairaland fooool.

Lol. Good one.

Obj is a fool. The boko haram problem started during his administration. I think that's when they even killed their leader yusuf. Fact is reforming almajiri schools is the best way to help them and that's what GEJ is doing. Oya OBJ tell us, how many schools did u build or reform for them?

There is no word in the dictionary for how useless this obo(monkey) is. While exleaders usually gracefully transition into wise elders, this national disgrace keeps acting like a trainee motor park tout cos if i call him a professional tout, they (touts) well be mad at me.

He's not even ashamed to show his face after the public undressing his daughter Iyabo gave him. Shame

Fake News. SAHARA REPORTERS is trash.

Personally.I find it disstateful that PDP and Jonathan are witch hunting gay people. Fact is, there are gay people, gay animals, gay insects, fishes even gay plants etc in Nigeria like everywhere else. And they don't seem to be causing a problem so please let them be.

As a straight guy myself, gay guys means less.competition for me and I have been blessed to travel extensively in and outside Nigeria. No gay person ever did me wrong. PDP needs to grow up.

Good work Willie. I wonder what cars will be made there. I hope they get Toyota. I don't know if Toyota will.let them.But if they can be making hiluxes and land cruisers, that can be the flagship automotive factory in Africa.

Please as we celebrate successes of one state or region, let us not be.disrespectful to other regions/tribes. Even though there are some tensions, they are still our brothers

You are an APSHIT about to vote a 72 year old semi literate tribalistic jihadist despot into power.

At last, he is talking. Every one knows Buhari is.an influential Fulani leader in this country and he should be answerable for a lot of atrocities they commit.

After they have butchered countless of innocent farmers, stealing their crops and even killing their women like that pregnant Yoruba woman they killed last year, its now to win elections he is at last calling his boys to order. As if that's going to raise the dead his people killed.

Afenifere And OPC Favor Jonathan
The endorsement of Jonathan's candidacy by the influential pan Yoruba group Afenifere and O'dua Peoples' Congress will in no small way influence the voting pattern of their members-most of whom are grassroot people. Otunba Gani Adams, National Coordinator, OPC said, “we took time to study the situation of things and we took time to look at the capacity of the candidates involved. I won’t deceive you, from the National Coordinating Council, we have decided to inform our followers that they should vote for President Jonathan.”

The National leader of OPC Chief Fedrick Fasheun had earlier threw his support behind the re-election bid of President Jonathan.

However, another influential group, The Yoruba Council of Elders refused to publicly endorse any of the candidates.

A Look at APC:
No doubt, APC controls 4 out of the Six government houses in the SW as at today, but the party has seen a huge dip in its political fortune in the region. One of the factor that helped the party to win Oyo and Ogun States in 2011 was the heavy factionalisaton within the PDP. Today, the APC in Ogun has had a major split with the SDP coming out a very strong beneficiary taking all Senators. The PDP in Ogun State is united. The APC also lost ALL their Senators in Oyo state, they can't boast of any today- though they gained a Senator in Ondo. In Lagos State, the influential Justice Group left the APC for the PDP. In Ekiti State, the APC was rejected in 2014. In Osun where it hold sway, the anger of civil servants over delay in payment of five(5) months salary may reflect at the Presidential poll. In Ondo State, the APC is not a force as it has little or no structure on ground.

Conclusion
With the Leading parties in the SW and two highly influential groups queuing behind the President's re-election, it is safe to say that the Yoruba nation favors President Jonathan, while the APC candidate Gen Buhari plays second fiddle. Though it won't be fair to write off APC from the political calculation of the SW, yet it will amount to misinformation to say the APC is in control of the region.


God Bless The Yoruba Nation
God Bless Nigeria
God Bless President Jonathan
President 2010-2019

Excellent write up SIR. Certified Propaganda Free. I bow for your eloquent logic. God bless you, the Great South West, all peoples and regions of Nigeria and our leaders.

Jega must go. Its simple. APC can't win in march 28 under JEGA. cos any result favoring them can and will be proven fraudulent by the fact they pushed for the elections to be run despite clear knowledge that INEC wasn't ready in order to gain and exploit an advantage.

This does not affect PDP because PDP lodged an objection before the elections. So IF PDP loses, they will go to court. And unlike 1963 when Balewa disobeyed a direct court ruling and destroyed the first republic, this time the executive will only be to glad to adhere to the judiciary ruling. Simple LOGIC for those who are not illiterate slaves like tinubu or maleducated fools like buhari and his G-5 goats.

Are Nigerians so foolish. Where is the intelligence report. Kai. Mumu nigerians. Pity for una gullibility. Fact is America is a reluctant warrior under Obama evident by their not supplying Iraq, Ukraine, or us with weapons and dragging their feet on libya to help remove Gaddafi until France took the initiative.

And what kind of gas would they have used. Since ww1, when have u heard of America using gas in warfare. Also America will not stick out their heads to rescue these girls. The threat of collateral damage is too much.

Please please, Nigeria stop being foolish natives and believing such drivel. If that was true one of the reputable news sources like the Washington post would have jumped on it. If it was true, The Obama administration might have leaked it to score political points when conservatives were criticizing Michelle Obama. I live in the states and never seen such a report except on nairaland and I'm a political junkie. Please my fellow country men. Let the stupidity stop.

She looks nice and sexy. Its her body and her dress. She has the right to wear whatever she wants to wear

Good Job Ogun State. Hopefully the state can control and set standards that can be a template for the nation. And also make sure these schools are not just glorified Sunday schools. But good job. Other states take note. Knowledge is power.

Look at all those beautiful kaduna women. Ready to progress under a unified PDP Party. Jonathan is giving them universities, youwin and sure-p. Buhari is giving them brooms.

Is this the weak propaganda APC can come up with. Mendicant morons.

Is that all the people they could muster? They must really be broke as everyone says

Because the card reader doesn't work and people haven't collected their pvc. Nigeria, Jega and INEC are clearly not ready for this election. And the North East is not ready as well. Its only the APC that wants it to go on because they clearly plan to use Jega to rig the election. JEGA MUST GO!!

Only in a country led by mumu hausa will an army general fail math. Before 1967, the top military guys were Igbo and Yoruba. The Hausas were too stupid. Its only when their ncos mutinied, cos they were too stupid to plan coup, that they started getting power and promoting illiterates

This is a very foolish post. Boko haram dresses up like the military not the other way round. The last pic posted is clearly boko haram. The OP is a useless coward, i dare him to say that to our chadian allies face. Embarrassing buffoon

meforyou1:
the region that will be worst hit is the north central. The Christain states of benue, plateau and taraba, and christain populated areas southern gombe, southern kaduna, nassarawa, Niger and christain minorities in the north generally.

Yeah, this is going to be the huge question.
