Oshiomhole sabi dis Naija political game sha. See as he fingered the peoples' ears with sweet words. Well, let's see if the people will retain PDP in the State House of Assembly elections or they'll replace them with APC & LP candidates.

Meanwhile, PDP will regret the day it admitted Obaseki into its fold; when Wike said betrayal was in his DNA, many people crucified him but it's now clear as daylight that the incumbent Edo governor is on track to bring the party to its knees in the state before crossing over to LP.

Lol. AriseTV getting a dose of its own medicine of sensational reporting.

LMAO! This same trade depot? I am not surprised.

Dejavuetall:
Woke olanipekun has never lost a case at the supreme court. I doubt if he will lose this. Smart move by tinubu.

I suspect he's on permanent retainership by Tinubu; man probably has won more election petition cases in Nigeria than any other lawyer since 1999.

You see that Lateef Fagbemi, Akin Olujimi & Wole Olanipekun? Fear those three SANs; between them, they've some of, if not the most successful rate of victory at Election Tribunals than any other lawyer.
Meanwhile, it appears Muiz Banire (SAN) has returned to the Tinubu political dynasty & what in Pete's name is former Bauchi State Governor Mohammed Abubakar doing on that list? Man decamped to PDP about a week to the Presidential polls na so what's his name doing there?

Dem don put Sanwo-Olu on over-drive mode. Man has been on the news on per seconds basis; I really hope he wins a second term otherwise, the heartbreak 💔 will be too much for him to bear.

"women can be very emotional" says the man who's nothing but a Simp & emotional too.
You talk everyday for the past sox years, in your own words "I love her...", already looking forward to having sex with her & she knows you're coming back home to find a wife?
Mr. Man, just admit it; you either have self-esteem issues, love this lady very dearly but in denial or you're confused & don't know what you want.
If she's not good enough for you to marry, please, keep the friendship without sex, don't toy with her emotions & henceforth, stop divulging your wife search moves to her.

Atiku also won. Kwankwaso too won. Yet, in their wisdom they (LPDP) held a joint conference calling for cancellation of the entire election.

Anyways, I wish them good luck as they head to court in a bid to prove they each won the elections.

Until then, we go dey chop agbado ati ewa with correct goat meat.

Please, can anyone show me which specific section of the Electoral Act 2022 mentioned electronic transmission of results? I've read relevant sections of the copy of the Act which was signed into law by PMB yet, didn't find any mention of electronic transmission!
Senate President in a widely circulated video also confirmed that there's no provision for e-transmission of results in the Act but LP & PDP as well as some political pundits keep mentioning that INEC violated the law by not transmitting the results electronically so I ask again, please can anyone point out the specific section (s) of the EA 2022 that proves INEC did wrong?
Thank you.

The irony - using PSquare's song to celebrate BAT's declaration as President by INEC.

This is what structure guarantees you far as Nigerian elections are concerned.

How far? I've been consoled oo. How about you?

PrinceOfLagos:
keep consoling yourself o

Hello, how's it going?

Am one of those 200,000 aids but my vote goes to Obi like wise many of my guys that are also part of the aids

Lol. I thought Kaduna was in the bag for the structureless party? The votes they're were counting on from S/Kaduna has finally been diverted to PDP or will they say SOKAPU doesn't matter in the scheme of things?

I mean, how's this relevant Sowore? It's this "wokeness" & wanting to be like the "oyinbos" that has led us partly to where we are as a country where young ones who still accord respect to their elders & respect culture are sneered at or made to feel like they're local.

This Reverend Father fit surprise all of us win Benue governorship oo. Man seems to be a popular candidate there; don't know how his popularity will rub off on Tinubu's Presidential quest though.

This is a massive project; saw the construction work sometime in 2019 while driving past en route Akwa Ibom & was hugely impressed by the magnitude of the project. The length of the fence alone will tell you so much money has gone into the project.

Meanwhile, I thought it was a brainchild of Cosmas Maduka only to read just now that it's actually a project by the PMT founder, Sam Maduka Onyishi.

Always blaming everyone else for their predicament. Please, did Simon Ekpa & his sit-at-home order start today? Better yet, did it start with the emergence of PitObi as the LP presidential candidate?

No be here we dey wey many people for southeast dey jubilate say the sit-at-home dey effective? I bet if the contest was a two-way affair between AA & BAT all the people placing bounty on Simon Ekpa & accusing him of working for an unnamed presidential candidate would've onlooked or even tacitly supported him.

Anyways, let me go back to minding my business.

Comprehension is a real problem here; either that or people just want to be deliberately ignorant of facts printed in black and white.

Yes, we may be experiencing some downturn (which is also affecting other countries even the "saner" climes) yet, the report didn't mention Nigeria. The countries mentioned were Egypt, Ghana & Senegal.

Anyways, let me go back to minding my business.

Whoever lent their vocals to that that Super Story theme song deserves an award & lifetime of royalties. Listening to that tune just now sent shivers down my spine.

Funny when Baba said "how average man on the street wan take survive?"
First of all, the "average" man won't go into an overpriced eatery & order for two portions of what ever it's they fancy when Mama Chinedu is just around one corner with fufu/garri & bitter leaf mixed with egusi & two ponmo/beef/goat meat for a little under N1,000 with free "pure water" to wash it down. Or is it Iya Barakat where three scoops of steaming amala with ewedu mixed with gbegiri & omi obe with roundabout, saki & "towel" will go down with less than N1,000?
Oga, na you carry yourself go where your pocket reach, no dey cry on behalf of "average" men & women; no be dem send you message.
Meanwhile, did that rice taste nice coz if it's by what I'm seeing, e no go sweet at all.

Asiwaju has this funny way of handshake; amuses me all the time.

Well, two wrongs don't make a right otherwise, if the President can disobey the Supreme Court & heavens didn't fall, the governors as well can make counter pronouncements against what he said & the heavens won't also fall.

At the end of the day, na all man for himself, God for us all.

Can the "propaganda" be properly defined please? One moment y'all are over the place hailing CBN for the Naira redesign policy because it'll affect Tinubu significantly more than any other person; the next moment y'all are all over the place claiming he has mopped up most of the cash in circulation hence the scarcity. What type of confusion is that, ehn?

It's either Tinubu is badly affected by the redesign policy of the CBN or he isn't affected at all; it can't be both.

Justbehave:
You have just asked the exact question I wanted to ask. The deed has been done already because CBN will never release those old notes we submitted to the banks and the new notes are not enough. So the problem will still continue. The only way to stop this hogwash is to print and pump more new notes into the system.

Tbh, that's the silver bullet to this whole situation; any other solutions as being bandied around by this report is only a "whitewash".

sarrki:
https://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-buhari-to-extend-validity-of-old-naira-notes-till-april-10/amp

This report is conflicting; in one breath it says the old notes should be allowed to move freely in & out of the bank & in another breath, says any of the old notes that go into a bank will not be recirculated.

Pray tell, how does this help the present situation? So, business owners who make cash sales in millions of Naira ar expected to hoard them or what coz once they deposit in the bank, it's not coming out?

Or maybe I don't even understand can someone please explain this report to me? Thank you.

It's funny people think if Asiwaju had billions or even trillions of Naira, he won't be able to swap it "neatly" for the new bank notes; FYI, out of the about N2.7tn thereabouts outside the banking system (N3.23tn total in circulation), the CBN Governor in his last update on February 1, announced that they've achieved a 75% success rate of mop up (that's about N2.03tn, leaving an outstanding of N675bn as at the time he stated this).
If you believe Tinubu's purported trillions or billions of Naira isn't part of that N2.03tn already mopped up, then, you must be delusional. Likewise, if you also think that if Tinubu needs the new Naira notes he can't lay his hands on them, you must be joking. Lest we forget, the real big men don't stash Naira notes due to volume, they stash their "loot" in hard currencies.
Meanwhile, just so you know, the currency in circulation (in banking system and out of it) as at 2015 according to Emefiele was N1.4tn.
So, let's assume Tinubu was so big a thief as Lagos governor & out of office, do you honestly believe that he alone held at least 1/10 of that figure which is around N140bn? Do you?
Now, according to Emefiele, that figure (N1.4tn) more than doubled to N3.23tn as at October 2022 (just 7years after); except you believe a very high percentage of that was also stolen & held by Tinubu, then it means you're irredeemable.
TL;DR? Summary is if you believe most of Tinubu's alleged loot is stashed in Naira or that he's the most affected by this Naira redesign policy, I've an Island that has snow falling throughout the year in Kogi State that I want to sell you.

Lol. You wish If you actually were, you wouldn't come up here to say so. But yeah, enjoy.

If the speculation that Gov. Wike is indeed working for Tinubu, that's a confirmed 200,000 votes minimum from the governor (remember the appointment of 200,000 political aides/special assistants last November?)

Now, imagine those number of aides are tasked with recruiting minimum 5 voters each, that's at least 1m votes for whoever Wike decides should have it; now, this wouldn't have made sense were the governorship election going APC or LP's way but seeing that the PDP governorship candidate is only but an appendage of Wike, those political aides will just have to play ball & dance to his dictates.

Again, this is my view; you're entitled to yours.

I'd love to read the official statement issued after this meeting because what I've just read is neither here nor there.

"Make new Naira notes available or recirculate the old notes" is hogwash.

CBN has daily insisted that it issues the new bank notes to DMBs; this claim is yet to be contradicted by the banks.

If the NL report is indeed the position of the National Council of State, the CBN can keep claiming it has made the new bank notes available & will only just step up monitoring & compliance at the banks' level; the "suffering" continues nonetheless.

It would've been more practical if the Council had proposed an extension of the validity of the "old" notes, urged the CBN through the NSPMC to print at least half of what has been mopped up from circulation and increase circulation of the unchanged lower denominations (N100, N50, N20, N10).

This scarcity from my own understanding stems from the CBN's mopping up of almost all the currency in circulation (from N5 - N1000) whilst only reprinting or allowing in circulation, a tiny fraction of what was withdrawn.

Just come out clean with us; you need someone to tell you that it's okay & he means no harm by being jealous of seeing you with other male companions or sending you photos of your old self you don't even remember?

Abi no be wetin you wan hear be dat?

Ma fren, if you don't block that MF right away on all avenues he's still able to communicate with or monitor you, that'll be you courting disaster. Even if he was your first love, saw you through school or bought you a car or even paid your rent for a couple of years that doesn't give him the right to stir up old feelings now that he's married.

Remember that you'll also be married one day (if that's your desire) & you'd hate for your husband to flirt with his ex who'd be probably finer & sexier than you after one kid.

Be properly guided please.
