Broken for my 2 dogs that passed.

So much nonsense here. Is the GOVENROR an appointee? That he needs to resign to contest an election? Why don't you just pause and think this through? The senate has and has had many Govenrors, did they resign? Think please.

BigYash:
Yes,he needs to. He can't be on the seat,then pursuing another office. Even those in Bat's cabinet resigned as well,when he told them to ,if they had got intention of pursuing another office..

That was how minister of darkness,said he wants to be governor of On Your Own. Oyo State.. he has since resigned

Orinechi:
Does he need to resign to contest for senate?

Someone asks a sensible question finally!
Governors have been going to the Senate... So why is the talk about resignation for? Do they resign before the elections?

Great men.

Respectable individuals in their own rights. No scandals, just professionals.

Speculation has been minimized because the difference between the official rate and black market is now under 5%.

Si when the official rate of the dollar was N450 the market rate was N800 - over 85% in commissions and arbitrage. That has been cut down to 5% and this is what foreign investors seek - a stable forex market so that they can know the true value of their money. Not to buy black market today, and then repatriation happens via official rates meaning they lose a lot or have to work thrice as hard.

Naira Posted Its First Annual Gain In 13 Years

Low level of understanding of the issues. He/she only sees one layer of information but can't go a bit deeper to understand the concept of currency gains. All that he/she knows is black market pricing...

Piity hin/her.

Dennisochampa:
If them tell una to read before Una complain una no go gree.... Them make policies and unify the rate.... U still expect the rates to be the same... Omóh ehn... Na wa o

She could have been BETTER dressed for a physical structure inspection tour of such importance. Every other thing else is commendable. From the expansion efforts to the vision. Kudos to the team.

Needful...

Governance should not be relegated so quickly for these. Shettima will likely be retained for 2 years into 2nd term.

You can't read? I wonder why anybody would bother to answer this.

obi4eze:
Please what did they purchase with 2.5 billion?

Diesbr make sense. Also not logical. It is of greater value to the establishment to have a 3 horse race. Not 2

Food for the rich. Xavier. Ultra expensive abroad

I like brilliant people like you. Incisive understanding of the issues. Not sentimental BS

nairalanda1:
If they appointed Adesina as president, he would do more than remove subsides on petrol, even subsidies on electiricty would go AND there would be massive cuts in the civil service and an even wider ranging tax law , more wide ranging than tinubu's own, and also cashless policy would be ruthlessly ensured. And nothing like cheap universites again...and absolute meritrocracy would be introduced...and it won't just be hausas affected by the way.

Something you should realize about Adeshina and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is that they are proper economists, not politicans. And proper economists take hard decisions most people don't like. If GEJ had followed Adeshina, NOI and SLS to the letter in 2012, by now you would be calling them wicked and evil people.

Thank you for addressing the sentimental BS that's everywhere.

seunmsg:
You’re capping nonsense. Is VAT a new tax? If she had made the same purchases last year, would she not have paid the exact same amount as VAT? So, why will any manufacturer increase price in January over a VAT law that has been in effect since the 90’s?

Again, are you aware that with effect from 1st of January, 2026, Company Income Tax has reduced from 30% to 25%? So, will manufacturers whose CIT has been reduced force any price increment on their customers? Does that make any sense? Are you even aware that companies with an annual turnover of < 100m are now fully exempt from CIT? So, why will such companies push any increment to customers?

Na wa o. The lines have fslleen

Whats left now?

2023 encore.

Tinubu headed for first place.

Interesting development. Scaoegoatism at play. Left for the man to now possibly rely on abandoned folks to survive.

I discourage this from my team members. We are the ones who are luck and blessed to have them.

So, what is the justification for politicians remaining in the PDP at this stage since their ambitions might be looking like dead in advance?

I'd rather read you over and over again than the decisively porous opinions I read earlier. Many cannot argue with so much ignorance otherwise what's the nonsense I read by some about 98% of people that japad never returned, etc etc. Such hollow understanding of issues on this forum atimes. Otherwise who can survive $1000 per month in the US if you are not barely surviving. What type of house would you be living in and how do you pay bills in winter with $1000 except you are a squatter?

People Yan so much nonsense.

1.5M in Nigeria lives a far better human existence than the $1000 in UK, USA, AUSTRALIA, anywhere. If you have an inverter, what do you need the Gen for? If you are in Band A, you are likely having good electricity. If I spent N20,000 a day on Glovo for good food delivery to my house, I wouldn't have spent even 50% of that 1.5M for the entire month.

DoTheNeedful:
I have been living in the US for almost a decade, and I can tell you that value of $1,000 in the US is less than 90k in Nigeria.

It is surprising that many of you, including graduates, don't understand that you can't just arbitrarily convert dollars or pounds to naira in this context.

You cannot start a family anywhere in the US with $1, 000. You would need at least a job that pays you $6,000 per month to think of marriage. An ideal monthly salary would be around $10,000.

With 1.5 million in Nigeria, you can afford to marry a jobless partner, support two children, and own a decent car.

You could eat out in Nigeria with 2k, but eating out in the US would cost you around 25 dollars (35k). I get a haircut every month for $50 (75k) in the US. In Nigeria, I could get the same haircut for around 1k.

If you have a baby in the US, you would need to spend around $2,000 (3 million) per month on day care. In Nigeria, you would pay maybe 50k.

I laugh each time I see some posts on social media converting people's salary in UK/US/CA to naira, thinking the naira equivalent of those figures have the same impact in those countries. It is unfortunate that some people have such mentality.

That being said, if you manage to have some savings in places like US and you bring such to Nigeria, you could tie up a project.

Lynden David Hall.

Thank you so much for that correction.

I meant "I found my smile again"

Oh my! Thank you so much for that correction.

I meant "I found my smile again"

kpankpangolo:
Wrong song, my boy. That was Lynden David Hall.

Have you tried Benue names? Your tongue and pen go first twist. Then your brain go just say, move on... Lol

"Sexy Cinderella" was my best ever D'Angelo. Despite being over 20 years, I still shared the song about a month ago to some friends. I love love D'Angelo but the soldier's set out for his call now. We join him soon.

Rest on man!

You prefer that elections disputes outcomes should remain in the hands of incumbents who have been sworn in?

You guys always complain about everything! Is the February election not fresh into the new year when the same politicians would have stacked money up for the new year

SlavaUkraini:
Hmmm 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

They now want to weaponize the election date

Most citizens are looking for money (and in some cases Bags of Rice) in November preparing for the festive seasons ...

You now declare an election,

Where the politician with the deepest pocket for vote buying will likely be the winner ..

Where the politician with the largest warehouse of Rice, Garri and Groundnut Oil will likely be the winner

Politicians with vote buying plans will smile at this proposed bill...

Convention means "practice, tradition..."

Lol. Please update yourself sir.

Franchise21:
Wetin concern Convention concern INEC Chairmanship?

You already bowed to ignorance. I'll be cautious to read or study your words any further.

able20:
Don't bow to ignorance, Tinubu is not smart at all, if he was smart he would hahave ve solved at least one problem :
Insecurity
Poverty
Hunger
Unemployment
Tinubu is a terrible man, the more you look, the less you see.

Yeah. That's the thought I also hold.

colossus91:
The next election might not be free and fair but I’m very sure tinubu will make it very hard for the next person to rig,

Dantatanazzy007:
For all dis you said did they give you 100 million to defend dere government?

I didn't know that NL still had senseleess commentators like this. Is there some way to remove adult toddlers from here? I mean people who contribute nothing meaningful to discourse.

The president is way smarter than imagined. Nigerians will experience a FREE and FAIR election hence why he is making very strong political moves. Now, his successors are being set up because they will not be able to undo the upcoming cleaner format that the 2027 election would be because the Tinubu reference would be strong.

The guest is, if IREV worked well, would Peter win? If IREV worked well, would Atiku win?

Now Tinubu has incumbency to win and doesn't need the INEC, be will bequeath a clean INEC election in 2031. The question then would be, would the politicians then be able to withstand FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS that Amupitan would oversee.

atiku4President:
Can I hear Abike Dabiri condemn her. No, she won't cos she's not from the tribe she always quick to hate and castigate. This's an own goal for Abike Dabiri. She will bite her lips and squeeze her face in shame a million times.

And Kemi Badenoch that Abike Dabiri calls out is also of a different ethnic stock? Did she not have a problem with Bosun Tijani back then? You guys are worse than your systems.

Thank you for putting that guy in his local place. I should find you something to keep warm in winter for that. Many intra city places abroad don't even have Abuja standard roads. We respect them but we don't lag behind them so much like that ultra local guy thinks.

Kemetian:
I am actually OUTSIDE NIGERIA right now.

Your almighty “Outside Nigeria”, I’m there.

It is not heaven.

You go commot from station, you go see very rough-looking white guys wey go beg you money. 😏

You guys overhype these people too much…🙄

The Lagos Metro is far cleaner and more pleasant than what I'm suffering here.

And NO. Air-conditioned City Metro Rail networks are NOT ''common in ''third world'' countries, so stop lying out of your bad belle for Nigeria!.
