yes you are very correct ,kashamu is or maybe I should say was gej main man in the south west, and it is kashamu case or issue that actually turned obj and gej into politically enemies . Gej stood by kashamu even when faced with the option of choosing between kashamu and obj political support. But immediately after the elections which gej lost and kashamu won ,kashamu not only congratulated tinubu and apc openly in sponsored advert in the dailies but even went on further to call tinubu his mentor,phenomenon and praising tinubu for leading a successful routing and trouncing of pdp and gej in the elections. This is considered a mark and sign of ultimate betrayal. The man that lost the election(gej)is the man that stood solidly behind kashamu despite all pressure to drop him and have him extradited back to usa . I think u are clear about the reasons gej is allowing kashamu to be sent to usa .
You still have it cool
PoliticsCurrency Tumbles As Venezuelans Look To Offload Bolivars by atlwireles(op): 11:26pm On May 22, 2015
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A staggering plunge in the free market value of Venezuelan currency sent people scrambling to sell off their depreciating bolivars Friday.

The widely followed website DolarToday, which tracks exchanges along the Colombian border, reported that the South American country's currency lost a quarter of its value over the last eight days.

The site's app has become so ubiquitous that everyone in smartphone-obsessed Caracas seemed to find out about the crash through 400 to the dollar at the same instant, as DolarToday sent out a series of alerts announcing the new numbers under the headline "hyperinflation!"

Venezuelan currency was trading at 415 bolivars per dollar Friday, according to the site. That's down from 300 bolivars per dollar on May 14. It stood at 173 when the year started.

While many black market dealers paused transactions until the rate stabilizes, some Venezuelans said they had changed money at the 400 bolivar rate Friday.

It was not immediately clear what prompted the sudden drop, though a Barclay Capital Inc. report issued Friday described the underlying cause as government expansion of the money supply.

"We do not see any signal of change from the authorities but these risks should make them reconsider their policies," it said.

Barclays projected the Bolivar could dip as low as 600 to the dollar this year.

The administration of President Nicolas Maduro keeps tight control over the legal exchange of bolivars, using a byzantine three-tier system. It is meant to subsidize crucial imports, but has led to widespread corruption and speculation.

The strongest rate is 6.3 bolivars per dollar. The weakest official rate, which was billed as an alternative to the black market when it was rolled out earlier their year, has inched up to 200 bolivars per dollar. The fact many are willing to pay double that price for black-market dollars indicates the supply is limited.

The Maduro administration has been hoarding dollars as it grapples with falling oil prices. That has contributed to shortages and other economic distortions.

DolarToday is openly hostile to the socialist government and carries news stories attacking it. But the site insists its exchange rate reports are based on actual trades at exchange houses on the Colombian side of the border and are not manipulated to undercut the government.

In April, Maduro repeated his assertion that the site's shadowy managers, whose identities are not public, are collaborating with the speculators and opposition leaders he blames for the country's problems. He accused them of purposely sowing chaos and promised to have them arrested.

"We're going to put those people at DolarToday who are waging an economic war against Venezuela behind bars, sooner rather than later" he said.

Because of the manner in which things have been structured in Nigeria it has become exceedingly difficult for progressive policies to be pushed through. Meanwhile Sharia law was passed almost immediately after the restoration of democracy.

If the nation as a whole cannot be made to function in a reasonable manner then the nation should be divided in two - let the progressive peoples go their own way.


Who are these progressives? Please don't kid yourself.

we are both saying almost the same thing. We all know it is the govs that funds the party . Right now ,it is only in the south east and ss that pdp has govs, they will unite as one and I am sure the ND state govs will now wake up from their slumbers. But in the south west pdp will get weaker , staying in the opposition no be beans ,I believe fayose and mimiko will leave pdp eventually .the situation in the south west right now is ppl are fed up with apc govs and they will vote for any other party apart from pdp ,I forsee fayose and mimiko joining another party like labour or accord party . Definitely these will be a collaboration of pdp yoruba party bigwigs ,ppl like fayose,mimiko,akala,ladoja,obanikoro,jimi agabaje,arapaja, and many others like that . They will move en masse into a party like accord and they will want to win more states in the south west which they will . Ladoja is at the tribunal now contesting the results of oyo state which was rigged for apc if he wins that means the opposition in the south west have 3 states . But definitely pdp members in the south west will decamp and move to another party.
The southwest PDP has been in the opposition for years, please what is new?

Of course he is a Yoruba man. The Yorubas will do anything to cause acrimony between the SE and SS so they can continue with this fraud of a nation called Nigeria. What they don't realise is that the SS have woken up. The last election was a serious eye opener for them. As long as oil money is flowing 'we must be one Nigeria'. OP, tell your Yoruba brothers that they may succeed in deceiving some tribes like Isoko and Urohbos to stay in Nigeria and remain slaves buth they will never decieve Delta Igbos,Rivers Igbo,Ibibios.Efiks

Funny, even broke id!ots who Nigeria helped make their lives miserable are jumping up and down on Biafra case.

let me tell you, Biafra is the solution to all your poverty problems and wretchedness.

Biafra is light, we that believe in Biafra and the sign of the rising sun, we don't interact with poverty as to beg grannies for gigolo job.

Neither do we claim what we are not, because we are Biafrans and children of the most high God.....
I hope you are not new to this forum. 99% of people claiming to be SS just for the sole purpose of insulting other tribes, SS tribes included are impostors. Read their comments, if you care and please move on. It takes a while to know them, because of the speed with which they manufacture new monikers and generate internet profiles and links.

I wonder what drives these individuals into such desperate measures.
