Want to make headline in Nigeria right now, say something about Tinubu.

jaxxy:
The truth is that they can not get fat money by legal means and u know it. It's definitely tied to favors taken to twist justice since it's not drug money. If it's legal money or their fathers inheritance they shud explain the business dey did and the withdrawals from where they were paid in their accounts/legal papers for it or they now do their large legal business by move large sums of cash about? Any good lawyer will convict these criminals I tell u.

Well Burantai has properties in Dubai and we know his salary couldn't have paid for that.
I'm not saying the judges are not corrupt but if you want to base your judgement on the amount of money found in their homes, then Burantai has a very big bulls eye on his back.

Wadeoye:
I can only use this medium to appeal to Tinubu and his supporters to take it easy... Nigeria is for all of us and no one should force himself as landlord on others.

In inner South West, people don't like hearing that name "Tinubu" because they see him as someone who wants to enslave them and take all that belong to them for himself and his boys.

He should take it easy and avoid being relegated to a regional political warlord. He can easily, with APC at national level, become a statesman supporting leaders at local, state and federal levels with ideas and ensuring they work to better the lots of the people who voted for them.

Unfortunately, people see Tinubu as someone who always wants to corner as much as possible for himself and the errant boys who are loyal to him.

Only people who don't know Tinubu or those who know him but dislike him believe he is a dictator.

CSTR2:
Saraki-tinubu alliance Yeah right.
Delusion. Remi tinubu and her lagos caucus would puke at the sound of that.

Remi Tinubu?

Too many clueless people on this thread.

The charges against Saraki were dropped to stop the Saraki - Tinubu alliance and get Saraki on the PMB side.


Saraki has presidential ambitions and there's no way he is going to get the ticket in APC in 2019, his choices are either with the PDP or with a new party.

ehie:
beggar dey get choice? your policies impoverish your country... the west only steps in and gives u aid and u have the guts to lecture them on what u want incoherently at best, is building infrastructure rocket science..what is all this crap about iphones and suits, methinks she just wants cheap popularity from the easily impressed man on the street, what are you doing about improving electricity, jailing corrupt PHCN officers, repairing bad roads, making the Abuja rail work on weekends and holidays, u have the guts to lecture IMF when you are begging their stringent loan policies. what have you done to empower small scale industries the bane of the west, McDonald, BENZ, etc, were all small scale industries at a point in time...stwpid woman \in a stwpid government, tell ur president to respect the rule of law and then probe Babachir Lawal for usisng 270 Million to cut grass before you lecture the white man, because all the whites do is to clean ur as.s after you have messed up. yeye dey smell ..and to think she went crawling to the China Exim Bank who will only give you loans only if their nationals execute it themselves

It's sad someone had to pay for your education.

Earth2Metahuman:
Lmao

Coming from the government that is still owing worker 6 months salary

I was about to ask if he has paid people that actually work for their money.

naijaking1:
Okonjo Iweala was in charge of the economy, not Sanusi the CBN governor.
How convenient for you to change things around. When you are not blaming blaming and blaming you're here creating confusion

Yeah right.

Scholes007:
On monetary term yes but on fiscal term no. But the question is
1. Are we taking the appropriate monetary policies? To me is a yes on short and medium terms.
2.how? The bank have offered some incentives to manufacturers and to agriculture.
3. What is holding the positive result? No fiscal policy to back it up
4. How? There is no clear cut policies to aid these businesses to remain viable.

Fiscal policy can be summed up to: Cut taxes or Massive spend on infrastructure
1) Can't cut taxes because revenue is already low
2) Massive spend: The budget suggests this is want they plan to do, but then were is money? Borrow heavily or Sell assets? (This is where we are right now)

Scholes007:
I will like to avoid the reason the group made for his resignations, because it is clear they want to be saling dollar as they used to... Let's be realistic, the CBN cannot afford any other option apart from withholding and controlling the amount of foreign currency especially the dollar to at least save the naira, mitigate inflation and regulate the depiction of our foreign reserve (which we can give them pass mark on). It is no longer news that Nigeria is in deep recession, with little source of foreign exchange, the economic activties has slowed down and local companies are struggling. The economic term of the presidency should bring out packages that will aid in boosting economic activties, spend more money and borrow if need be. You see this is what will aid the CBN to take more actions. The ball is in the court of the minister and his team to bring out packages that will be compatible with reality on ground.

Don't get me wrong, the group are a bunch of political jobbers and I don't care about them.
My own is if Buhari is impeding the work of Emefile, he should resign. It's the same advice I'd give to Kemi and I expected Kachikwu to have resigned since.

My quoting you was just too point out that the CBN plays a role in the economy (a big one at that)and I believe the CBN governor should be more powerful than the minister of finance.

Scholes007:
So CBN governor don start to dey coordinate the economy baa? I believe the president should replace the current minister of economy. CBN gov needs a focused and sound economic planners from executive (presidency). The presidency should bring policies and programs to aid the CBN else we have nothing but wait until the naira falls to bottomless pit. This not time for propaganda neither is it time for the usual we are the messiah others are failures.

Actually the CBN is kind of in charge of the economy. The finance minister is in charge of the FG's finances.( The finance minister is more like an accountant to the FG.)

Monetary policy == CBN
Fiscal policy == Finance Minister.

I do not refer to those who have decided to sell their erstwhile mentors, elders, betters and political leaders in the south-west down the river in return for being made a "super-Minister".


.

**** 1960's western movie sound track playing*****

One shot fired.


Now back to other important matters namely the Bayelsa issue, Femi is just ranting here. Rivers State was a more humiliating loss for the APC so if they were going to punish any state in the South South, it would be Rivers. Bayelsa in my opinion lost out because there's really no strong politician from there in the APC(Sylvia doesn't count).


Now back to the movie*****

Mama Nkechi, bring me one bottle of my usual make i take cool down as i dey watch this 2019 remake of the good, the bad and the ugly

ourema:
I have not seen any APC member that has been arrested on pages of the news paper

What does that mean?

The law is not concerned with what party the accused belong to but whether the accused it guilty or not.
That other thieves have not been caught would not help the accused in the courts either.


When it comes to corruption/crime your party doesn't matter so you cannot be witch hunted in a corruption/crime case.

VampireeM:
Some politicians have access to forex from their sitting room at the official rate meanwhile manufacturers are crawling for forex just to import machineries and co.. PMB and his economic team needs to hide their heads in shame.. Just in a year and some months PMB took over power, almost a million Nigerians have lost their jobs due to their archaic policies..
#IncompetentGovt!

Can you point out just one archaic policy ?

Its easy to talk the talk.

JeffreyJamez:
Chrome is king!

That's a fact.

ourema:
All first ladies must be probed so that it would not Appear As witch-hunt

Yeah, all thieves and kidnappers must be arrested in one fell swoop or it would be witch hunting.

OP
This is October, that article was published in January.

From Fani Kayode to Femi........

Buhari if you have plans to come back in 2019 or want to install a successor, you better extend the hand of friendship to Tinubu.

As at today, the presidential candidate for the two major parties in 2019 would be northerners, so the votes would be split in that region.
SS and SE would vote against APC,
The battle ground is the SW and Tinubu is worth 2 million votes here.

markpenk:
Is stealing, lying, breaking community/societal rules and dictates subjective to the society? Is broad daylight embezzlement/financial misappropriation the order of the day and an acceptable activity in any society regardless of its cultures?

So, when serial killers murder other people, it is acceptable because they feel it is right? So, when people are deprived of their fair wages, it is normal -and I don't mean in the "what can we do" way. I mean in the "that's okay, it's acceptable" way?

Point to one society where this applies.

Since morals are relative, it means that if I deprive you of fair wages after you've done a good job, because feel I'm right, that would be acceptable? If I come into your home and rape your wife/your sister in front of you because I can and have no compunctions about it, you would talk about moral relativity and try to understand my perspective?

If I come to your place of business, hire your services or pick up a few items and walk away because I feel I'm justified, that's alright? Where in the world is this common practice? Please educate me.

When many people talk about morally relative practices,their arguments and examples typically come from a sexual standpoint -please don't bring this up as I'm familiar with sexual practices in parts of Polynesia. It's not relevant to this discourse (we're not talking about sexual defilement/affairs and its relative acceptance or the lack of it in some societies).

I maintain that there are universal principles of fairness, justice, and equity; all of which are tied to morality. These are non-debatable. So, when someone brings up the argument of morally abominable acts not being wrong, I just call bullshyte .

Stealing is against the law, so is rape, has nothing to do with morals. You need to understand the difference between morality and legality.

- Is it fair/morally right that Senators earn millions while the minimum wage is 18k?
- Is the HND/Bsc discrimination fair or morally right
- Is it fair/morally right/ justice that the Niger Delta suffers all the consequence of Oil exploration alone but share the money with the whole country?
- Are tax laws fair the poor?
- Is it fair that a poor man would suffer more than a rich man for the same crime because the rich man can afford the best of lawyers while the poor man can't?

No Senator legally earns N36 million per month

markpenk:
. Anything that is morally abominable is absolutely wrong, period!

This is not true. Morals are relative and are subject to individual/ cultures.

dunkem21:
Common sense is shaping all team members ideas towards a common goal.

APC should quit politics of bitterness, joor.. .

My ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian.

Try working with someone that has his own agenda and see the outcome.

dunkem21:
Team leaders involve every one.. All hands on deck.

Outdated is a milder way of calling it foolish.

.. Just like the 97%/5% old skuul comment

If two people don't have the same goal, they can't work together.
That's common sense.

dunkem21:
Very ancient, archaic, outdated thoughts.

Sadducees

You have no idea of team work.
How the Bleep is it out dated?

Not unexpected.

In 2019, vote KOWA so that they'll probe this administration and jail looters.

In 2023, we change the party again, that way we reduce the looters gradually.

jaybee3:
You don baff?

The question should be
OP you don chop?

Not surprising.

CSTR2:
Buhari claimed to borrow from the bank to afford his APC presidential form. So obviously, his so-called pensions as a military dictator was insufficient and there is no way he could have afforded his children exorbitant fees with legally acquired funds.
You are a shameless unscrupulous sycophant.
