APC e-thugs want us to believe that once Peter Obi (a private citizen with absolutely no political or cultural office or title) opens his mouth on a microphone to talk that INSECURITY WILL VARNISH TOTALLY FROM ALL SPACES AND REGIONS IN NIGERIA cool

The man . . .H.E Obi is indeed a viral and undeniable force to reckon with 💪😁

And we Obidients are so so proud of him kiss
Well, let us Obidients be sincere a bit.

Tinubu is saying "food produce price, crash!", and hopefully food price is crashing already, no? So, if my Obi wants to be president, he better acquire same powers.

PoliticsRe: Tinubu Orders FEC Committee To Crash Food Prices by budaatum: 8:21pm On Sep 10, 2025
According to him, the directive focuses on ensuring the safe passage of farm produce across transport routes to cut logistics costs.
So, Tinubu is going to crash the price of farm produce by decreasing transport costs, meaning cheaper fuel, and mechanics charging less, and police and agberos not taking a cut, and so on?

This I must see.

He can go further, once that works, by making fertiliser and pest control and labour cheaper too, I guess, and providing storage to reduce waste.

Hopefully, this is not a case of "Let there be Light", Nepa!

This is one reason I am crying only a little that my towns man beat Obi. Whatever I may think of Tinubu, accountants are somewhat empowered to call for accounts, and I am glad.

I'm only saddened he will never probe Buhari so we can see if he was corrupt or not. And that I think we should be shown.

I think the solution to your problem is starring you in your face if you have the humility to see it.

You have a wife whom you claim "on the other hands struggling with her small shop of less than 100k and taking care of the kids", so why don't you learn from her or invest in her?

You 2 working together would likely do much better than you do by yourself, it sounds like.

Thanks. I'll digest that later in the evening.
Don't accept what I've said as definite. Its a lot more complex than I can explain, but the gist of it is the borrower does not set the rate they are lent to.

And that's what makes America's supposed hegemonical might laughable. It's like the person in debt setting the terms of trade. If I were the other countries borrowed from, I'd be silently laughing while the grave is dug, because I'd be aware the sky falls very very slowly in this case (because USA has a printer, which is just theft from its citizens by inflation, as we've seen), but fall it eventually must.

---Don't think he would resign the third time as regards to his friendship with Epstein---because Felon 47 will protect him---


---Mandelson: more ‘very embarrassing’ details of Epstein friendship to come---
Dump can't protect Sir Mandelson. Down here, we don't even need to hound Sir Mandelson to resign. All that needs be done is for the media and Lady Kemi to stand up at Question Time every Wednesday and ask his boss Sir Kier Starmer about him so the electorate sees it constantly and have enough of him and kick him out of Number 10, and Sir Mandelson will be gone soon enough. But I doubt it would take that long, considering Sir Mandelson has said there's more to be revealed.

I expect Sir Kier to dump Sir Mandelson before the boat they share sinks, or for Sir Mandelson to accept his position is no more tenable and resign just as Lady Rayner did. If he survives the dump visit to UK, I'd be very surprised. Then there's the Labour Conference.

Ibime , unlike Felicia I can get an educated answer from you.
Central Bank Rates.

Previously you pointed out that the interest rates are raised to combat inflation . Conversely they are lowered to encourage growth.

With (I'm using America) the debt $36 Trillion ,doesn't higher rates drive the govt to the brink. Has to repay more , have it's credit rating downgraded etc.
You don't know how the interest USA pays on its debt is arrived at, which is fair, since you are asking.

USA borrows by selling bonds to raise the money they want. They state how much they want to raise, and lenders (bond buyers) will state how much they will charge. An aggregate is then arrived at for that particular bond.

The fed can say what its effective federal funds rate (EFFR) is, but as you will see in the article linked below, that does not determine the interest USA pays on its borrowing, though I know you wouldn't bother to understand it and would only come back with 2000 mules. Its basically saying the fed cut rates and bondholders charged even more, which will be the case if the fed lowers the EFFR even lower.

This is because at the end of the borrowing period, after which the lender has been paying interest, the lender also pays the principal, which might not be worth the same amount that was lended due to depreciation or inflation, or even appreciation and deflation, the later which might make your lent money be worth even more, in which case you might have not minded a low interest, but would mind if your money was worth less when paid back, for which you'd have wisely demanded a higher yield at issue.

When the Fed cut its policy rates by 100 basis points in 2024 amid rising inflation, the 30-year Treasury yield, in a massive counter-reaction, rose by 100 basis points, and we began musing here about a secret question: How many more rate cuts would it take to drive the 30-year yield to 6%?
https://wolfstreet.com/2025/08/30/30-year-treasury-yield-stuck-near-5-on-inflation-fears-but-6-month-yield-drops-sees-rate-cuts-long-end-of-yield-curve-steepens-a-lot-mortgage-rates-still-over-6-5/
Perhaps think of your own debt/credit. You don't tell the lender how much interest you will pay. Its the lender who looks at the risk you pose and imposes interest on you accordingly. If you are credit worthy, as in you pay on time, you'd likely get a lower interest rate than a person who doesn't, as the lender will compensate for the risk posed. (This, by the way, was dumps New York case was about).

On a serious note, I do wish you'd spend more time trying to understand this than swimming in your magaconspiracies, because its implications are huge in the whole scheme of things. But I guess I'll live in hope knowing the sky will fall on this one day. Just ask France and my own UK, or Japan and even China.

I s it human and moral to open the border and allow anyone and everyone to enter the country?
Yes it is. If their lifes are in danger where they are coming from. That's why the world recognises assylum seekers. It is Christian too. Leviticus 19:33-34 ("You shall not oppress a stranger..."wink, Matthew 25:35-40 (the parable about serving the hungry and strangers), and Romans 12:13 (exhorting believers to "extend hospitality to strangers"wink.

Is it human or moral to have people being gunned down in Liberal cities
No it isn't. That's why most countries don't let their citizens go about with guns.

raumdeuter:
Is it human or moral to have boys play in girls sport?
Yes it is. Boys and girls play many sports in school together. There's also sports for adults that have mixed teams.

raumdeuter:
Is it human or moral to have other country's tariff American goods
I can't really see how this is a moral question, and think it is more an economic question. It is economic sense for Nigeria to tariff the tokunbo junk that ends up in our country, and we do tariff them.

raumdeuter:
The liberal policies that allow lawlessness, disorderliness and taking advantage of America are those human or moral
The "lawlessness, disorderliness" is not necessarily due to liberal policies. Liberal policies are not what made dump instigate lawlessness and disorderliness on Jan6.

O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians—they are guardians of each other.1 Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Do tell. Do the Muslims in your neighborhood and/or family not take you as their guardians?

Do you think the Christians and Jews in London who elect a Muslim mayor have not read that nonsense?

And is it much different from the following where your God actually tells you to dispossess (steal from) and destroy?

Deuteronomy 12:29-31
“When the Lord your God cuts off before you the nations whom you go in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, take care that you be not ensnared to follow them, after they have been destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire about their gods, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their gods?—that I also may do the same.’ You shall not worship the Lord your God in that way, for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods.

But seriously, I think many of them assume Palestinians are like our bokoharam, or that all Muslims are terrorists or something, which makes them no different to the brain dead who think all Nigerians are Yahoos, except themselves of course.
