TINUBU IS GUINEA

Zico5:
Inec should declare illegitimate person as the president. I don't blame u, some of u are full of vices that's beyond human understanding. Take it or leave it, Obi can never rule this country.

Penguin2:
Conduct elections one million times and Obi will still beat Tinubu silly and require a Yakubu to shutdown the IREV and conjour numbers for him.

Conduct elections 1million times and all those who voted Obi in the last election will still vote for him. I can tell you authoritatively that Obi has not lost a single supporter; instead he has gained more supporters after it has been confirmed that the brain of their Emilokan is hollow.

Obi is the Daddy of their daddy.

And their daddy will forever live under the shadow of Obi.

Atiku/Obi2027.

Make I see how una wan take rig am.

Anybody supporting APC should be checked in the nearest hospital for mental health

pafun:
It is you people who are spending Naira and thinking $ that will continue to feel the pain. Otherwise i don't see how this affects your income and what it can buy in food market. Is $ what you are spending in the market?

Cassandraloius:
APC needs to change thier evil ways, it's always from frying pan to fire.
We're not functioning well in all aspect, yet we still find a way to survive. Mtcheeew...

Gerrard59:
Does not change the fact that the naira has not been floated. Why is this hard to grasp?!

DevilsEqual:
No Staement of substance
No financial analysis to back your claims

Just pure tantrum and pessimism as per Obi supporter wey u be

Still hoping to meet a logically sound Obi disciple one day

Enugurangers:
GEJ was massively defending the naira. I remember that in Oct 2014 alone, just for 1 month, the naira was patched with $5.4Billion.

joelbooks:
I want to use this opportunity to apologise to Peter Obi and all the Obidients for not voting for him in the last presidential election. By God's grace, in 2027, I'll definitely not vote for him again. that man will never become the president of this great nation.

Kay25:
He didn't devalue naira yet was subsiding with heavy amount ..what a waste leave it floated lets go to rethink our ways then we will know what to do

Emusan:
Presently, Tinubu is already at 94% increment in less than 9months. Thou, the certificate forger can't take it to 1000%.

Emusan:
And the same few didn't think differently when GEJ was there.

dollar only increased about 35% throughout GEJ while the same Buhari you unpatriotic and the real enemies of Nigeria( yet claiming to be the most patriotic and lover of Nigeria) think differently for increased dollar with whooping 247%

So if the man Buhari is too patriotic for Nigerians with and increment of over 240%, what will you call GEJ who held dollar under 40% increment?

reiddecuti:
The economy is gone. Gradually, the country is being buried.


Buhari was a disaster you can't wish to your enemy or any country. He wreck this country and he did it pretty well.

Gerrard59:
I gave an illustration using the Singaporean dollars. Thankfully, facts don't care about your feelings. As long as two different rates exist for one currency, the currency HAS NOT BEEN FLOATED!

Faposky95:
Not a 100% true....
He came to sub Bubu...at least BATMAN knows somethings and isn't always shocked.....!

A British-Nigerian minister, MP Kate Osamor has been suspended after accusing Israel of genocide on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day.

The British-Nigerian-born MP for Edmonton sparked outrage after claiming in her weekly newsletter that Gaza should be added to the list of ‘recent genocides’.

Posting a photo of herself signing the Holocaust Education Trust’s commemoration book in Westminster, she wrote on X: ‘Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day, an international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, the millions of other people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups and more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and now Gaza.’

The Board of Deputies, the Jewish Labour Movement, and the Holocaust Educational Trust reacted to her controversial remarks.

A Labour source confirmed to MailOnline on Sunday evening that the Chief Whip has suspended Kate Osamor from the Parliamentary Labour Party pending an investigation.

Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Hassan Bala Abubakar, has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to settle outstanding bills of some services rendered to the electoral commission.

Abubakar made the call on Monday in Abuja when he hosted a delegation of INEC management, led by the commission’s Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who visited the Air Force Headquarters in Abuja.


“I would like to seize this opportunity to remind the Chairman that there are some outstanding bills which are yet to be cleared by INEC. The settlement of those bills will enable us to serve you better,” the Air Force Chief said.

He noted that INEC was the first governmental organization to pay such visit this year.

He noted that Nigeria stands out as a shining example for other nations of the world and is well renowned as the largest economy and democracy in Africa due to the success of the nation’s democracy being underpinned by strong institutions like INEC n, which works tirelessly to allow all citizens to enjoy the right to decide who should govern them in free and fair elections.

“The invaluable contributions of the INEC, distinguishes democracy as a form of governance unparalleled in its commitment to the people. Furthermore, it lends credence to the slogan that democracy is the best form of government known to man.

“I would like to commend Mr Chairman (Yakubu) for the numerous initiatives which have occurred under your watch. Some of which included continuous voter registration, introduction of new technologies, voter education and sensitization and post-election reviews.

“Another laudable milestone achieved was the Electoral Act of 2022, which introduced reforms aimed at more timely organization of pre-electoral processes and increasing transparency in results collation and reporting,” Abubakar said.

The Air Chief also noted that the successful conduct of elections is largely hinged on robust security and well-choreographed logistics supply chain management, and that the Nigerian Air Force has been INEC’s dependable partner in providing security in addition to rapid airlift for the distribution of sensitive and non-sensitive electoral materials across the country.

He said, “I assure you that we remain willing able and ready to continue supporting INEC as we have always done in the past. At the moment, our C-130s are currently undergoing maintenance but we have other aircraft that can be employed to move sensitive materials. The caveat is that we need to move those materials a little earlier due to the capacity of the airplanes which we have available.”

Speaking earlier, the INEC Chairman congratulated Abubakar on his appointment as the 22nd Chief of the Air Staff and all other recently promoted officers serving at both headquarters and elsewhere.

He also commended the NAF for its cooperation in the area of election security and logistic support for the timely delivery of materials during general elections, off-cycle elections, by-elections, supplementary elections and re-run elections.

“I want to place on record the neutrality and professionalism of NAF in particular and armed forces in general in discharging your responsibilities. There has been no unhappy incidents or compromise on the part of your officers and airmen.

“This weekend (February 3), the commission will conduct bye-elections and re-run elections in 26 states of the federation. In nine states, two senators, four members of the House of Representatives and three members of State Houses of Assembly will be elected in bye-elections to replace members who passed on or resigned their memberships of the national and state assemblies.

“In other states, re-run elections will take place at designated constituencies or Polling Units (PUs) as ordered by the Election Appeal Tribunals,” Yakubu said.

He said in all, the elections will fill vacancies in three senatorial districts, 17 federal and 28 state constituencies spread across 80 Local Government Areas, 575 Registration Areas/Wards and 8,934 PUs involving 4,904,627 registered voters out of which 4,613,291 Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) have been collected.

He said, “In handling such a huge national assignment, the commission cannot do it alone. That is why we seek to mobilise every national asset, including NAF. It is in realisation of this objective that the law empowers the Commission to seek the support of the security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies in the delivery of materials and the protection of election officials as clearly provided for in Section 27(3) of the Electoral Act 2022.

“The elections are holding this weekend. Working with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), materials are being delivered to many locations. However, given the size and distance of some constituencies, we seek for the support of NAF to expeditiously deliver materials to three locations in the North East, South East and the South West geo-political zones of the country.

“We have already indicated to the Chief of the Air Staff the specific locations and the tonnage of materials to be airlifted.”

Yakubu also said that the pending bill the Chief of Air Staff mentioned is the work and mandate of federal government and not solely about INEC and would be addressed appropriately.

Small quarrel that can be settled in family meeting in 9ja, one idiot will just carry pistol and shoot everybody in US.

Judgementa1:
Go and dissolve it now. Tribalist.

Gerrard59:
That is not true. The evidence of a parallel rate refutes that claim. There must be only one rate. As long as two rates or even three rates exists, the naira has not been floated. Also, subsidy still exists.

As I write, 1SGD to USD gives 0.75USD. It means at any location in the world, I would get 0.75USD for a 1SGD. Is that the same thing as the naira? Would I get the same figure as seen on Google at a roadside exchange converter?

9jatriot:
I am not sure but I think they are trying to keep the gap between official rate and black market rate not to be too wide. So if the black markets moves too much, the official rate seems to also follow suite
