Politics / Re: El-Rufai: FG Claims That Old Notes Of ₦1,000, ₦500 Already Destroyed By CBN by callthefred: 9:44pm On Feb 15, 2023 |
nameo: You didn't read the stories well. Even if the governors have the old notes. This article states that the old higher denomination in circulation would still be accepted. Which means they can still use their old notes. Meanwhile, all our top Presidential candidates are majority shareholders in many banks. We would be deceiving ourselves thinking they can't get these new notes easily. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Eriokanmi: So you acknowledge you're suffering the effects but still support it because it affected your imaginary enemy which is TInubu. Afterall, once we kill Tinubu Nigeria will become an eldorado abi? Dey play! Let me tell you, it's easier to destroy things than building. Businesses that would be affected or destroyed by the policy would not be easy to rebuild. Emefiele that is simply bitter because he lost APC presidential ticket is not your concerns but Tinubu. In the first 4 years we all saw how Tinubu was sidelined by Buhari and Abba Kyari and how well they ran the nation into debts. Tinubu supported Buhari same way he supported Fashola and Sanwo Olu to be governors. That Buhari ended up been a failure was never Tinubu's fault. That was on Buhari. Tinubu will win and you will wail for atleast 4 years. And I'm sure El Rufai took you to his house where he was hiding the 22b also right?. This is why Aisha Buhari had to get someone like you arrested and beaten up weeks ago. |

franchasng: Very good. This is a reasonable response and intellectual explanation that I expect..not just jumping straight into attack mood. I am reasonably pleased and satisfied with your response. Even though I can't confirm this is true but it surely makes good sense. Thank you for that. However, can we also have an explanation on the 250m (over $2m) then cash caught with his aides in Lagos?. His claim was that the money is meant for a contractor. I would love to have an answer to that and if convinced you may just win a voter for Obi. |
Politics / Who Is The Lesser Evil? by callthefred: 9:49am On Feb 15, 2023 |
The electioneering moods and campaign season has shown truly that the problem of Nigeria isn't the leaders but the Nigerian youths who have always based their decisions on emotions and not facts. As a lawyer who has handled a few cases especially election petition, it is important to let people understand that emotions are nothing but facts are everything. Even common sense comes far behind facts! How convenient that we see some politicians as fairly good and some as really bad when infact all our major candidates shouldn't be seeking office but probably be on their ways to jail for gross abuse of office. Even facts and revelations doesn't seem to matter but hearsay, lies and deceit are the other of the day. Many young Nigerians ran away to the UK for greener pastures only to see that besides good roads and fancy environment, there is absolutely nothing abroad worth dying for if only we all work together to make this nation great. The narrative we have sold ourselves that this country is lost makes it impossible for young minds to even think about making it here at all. Our youths have forgotten that the real secret to wealth is finding a problem and creating a solution. Nigeria has many problems and fixing them is important. Dangote's style of business might not be pleasing to some but there's no denying that everything he used to import 20 years ago, he now produces locally. This is the real secret of how Dangote became Africa's richest. Those whose stock in trades are just to import cheap goods abroad come here to brag about how they are successful businessmen will never understand. For years Nigeria Import tiles until the Chinese saw the potential locally and started producing tiles here. No Nigerian till date is known for producing tiles locally. Same with many other products likewise. We have seen candidates who invested public money in family businesses or businesses family has interests, to candidates whose childhood till date cannot be explained to candidate caught on tape teaching his boss how to loot public funds. All these are greenlight but trust my people emotions will still rule their brains. For some of us who only deal on available facts, we never get surprised when candidates who never manufactured toothpick locally in over 40 years of importation experience in business suddenly start to shout from consumption to production. Even though this candidate imports almost 300 brands of FMCG. Someone whose aides were caught with 250m ($2m) cash and reportedly claimed it was to pay a contractor. Yet he's claiming to be the most accountable. Who pays cash to a contractor? Yet this was never made public until they were caught with cash. Even though the state assembly eventually claimed it conducted an investigation and saw nothing wrong. We all know behind the scenes dealings would have taken place. Another candidate claims to have built men and possibly even as opposition never for once got charged to court for corruption. Even though his tax consulting firm has proven to be one of the best in the nation. Although allegedly a drug Lord which the Americans have denied anyways. This same candidate cannot explain beyond reasonable doubts his links to the tax consulting firm, his roles in the shooting of peaceful protesting youths or why and how his wife and kids dominate the most vibrant sectors of his home state. Another strong candidate who used to be a civil servant, suddenly became a multi billionaire even against the rules of the civil service but his only campaign is asking his tribesmen to vote him and also insisting his region has never been President. All candidates running away from debates, none of these candidates has been able to discuss fundamental truths or strategy. But they have all perfected the arts of lies and deceits and the people foolishly buying into it. There's no reason wishing Nigerians luck. I simply wish them what they wish themselves but as for me, just like 8 years ago when I didn't vote the ruling party or opposition, I haven't been disappointed as the facts then have proven to be sufficient enough now. The propaganda against candidates and party or structures are very nonsensical. I expect candidates to be discussing fundamental issues of how to ensure police reforms, how to ensure technical trainings and how to ensure religious reforms. But they have suddenly because of elections become very religious and humble. We've been through this road before and we are heading into it again... Remember, let facts guide you and not your emotions. As for me, I have decided to endorse Kola Abiola of the PRP as he's seem to be the only candidate who has even tried to discuss fundamental issues and not profit on the emotions of people... |
Politics / Re: Buhari Cabal Eyeing Interim Government – El-Rufai by callthefred: 9:20am On Feb 15, 2023 |
searchlight: Fair enough. Mind you NIgeria has had many cabals and they all eventually lost out. There was once a cabal in the Yaradua government that kept denying the health of the President, they lost out. Under GEJ there was also a cabal that did everything against Buhari. Under Buhari it's no difference. If Tinubu wins fair and square he will be declared. Remember, he has almost all Fulani governors with him too. Even those you call cabals know they don't have monopoly in this country. OBJ did everything to get a third term but was shown the way out. MKO Abiola's case is totally different from today's reality. |
Politics / Re: Deji Adeyanju Explains Why He Criticizes Peter Obi by callthefred: 9:16am On Feb 15, 2023 |
franchasng: Sabmiller is a conglomerate but NEXT which is Obi's family business are shareholders. Even Obi admitted this. He only claimed he had resigned from NEXT. But as a shareholder in next he will indirectly benefit from that investment. Also, putting state's money in a bank where you have shares also cannot be said to be done in good faith. The most important question is where did Obi keep the interest on the money he saved. For your information, banks pay interest on fixed deposits ahead. They only pay capital back on maturity. Meanwhile, according to Anambra governor, the money sunk into the Buhari has evaporated as the value of those shares have sunk badly. Let's discuss facts and try to argue based on common sense not emotions. Yes Obi is no different from the others except the others at least invested state money and got profit from it. 1 Like |

potent5: How very funny you can be. You keep shouting drug case when even the US has repeatedly said there was never a drug case but evading taxes. Do you know what America did to drug Lords until the late 1990s? Google the case of Pablo Escobar and the King of cocaine. You think America will allow a drug Lord living in their country escape? America will seize all your assets not some. On his education, after shouting that he didn't attend school, eventually you have all seen proof that he did attend Chicago State, Mobil confirmed he once worked with them. For you information, on Alpha Beta they are also working with over 15 other states. Laziness is a disease. You all think Alpha Beta just sits somewhere and start making money? The company works for it. Mind you, his name is not on the board of directors of the company and if he was using the company to steal Lagos money, then other states including PDP using Alpha Beta must be stupid for allowing Tinubu steal their money also. I am asking you for facts and evidences you're still talking hearsay. You claimed Obi doesn't want Doctors to blackmail him? How is that so my friend? So if Obi truly didn't believe in local government elections, why then did he go ahead and still conduct one after 7 1/2 years? He shouldn't have conducted any at all. |

potent5: Let's stop being emotional. All your allegations against Tinubu have no proof, they are just hearsay. However, everything he's said about PO are backed with facts and evidences. Instead of you to explain the reasons why ASUU and Doctors were on strike and have a mentally constructive debate. You went straight into allegations that have never been proven, this is not smart enough. Remember Tinubu was opposition for years and PDP or EFCC never charged him or any of his associates till today. We don't need bandwagon arguments again...let's start talking facts to convince undecided voters. We all want the best for the country. |
Business / Re: Old Naira Notes No Longer Acceptable In Nigeria Since February 10 - CBN by callthefred: 1:29pm On Feb 14, 2023 |
How conveniently foolish to think an Emefiele who lost out in the presidential primaries is actually doing anything for the good of Nigerians. Something he didn't do to save the naira for 9 years in office. Not to forget that Gov Okowa was the one who influenced his appointment as CBN governor instead of Imokuede then. As far as I am concerned, Emefiele is not more powerful than the supreme court. Those who are blinded by emotions and refused to be realistic, thinking a careless policy as this would stop a phantom vote buying and will help their preferred candidates win instead will be disappointed again when the supreme court gives a judgement that favours majority of the people. Vote buying doesn't work anymore in Nigeria. People will collect your money and still vote their preferred candidates. Osun was an example last year. |

iSense247: Obviously this is another pained politician. When they supported GEJ then weren't we facing the same problems as now in SW?. Who says voting PO would change the narrative? We may deceive ourselves with wishful thinking as much as we like no doubt but we need to be realistic about the problem and solutions of Nigeria. What has been Okunronmu's contribution besides always wanting to be a politician so they can feed fat on the nation. He and his likes are not fit to talk about Yoruba interest. Tinubu included. |

iwaeda: The good thing about all the scenario that played out on this election is a good sign that NIgeria is about to be great. Maybe within 10 years from now. No tribe or religion can come again to preach religious balancing for us again. APC are doing it now and no complaining so when Christians do it tomorrow there would be a good reference. The likes of Wike and all speaking up now and refusing to bow out of their party would be star boys on future when the South has a President and a party Chairman. To really have a great country we need to look beyond everything that would require anything but getting the best. Then everything else will follow. I see a new Nigeria and I see myself in it. |

JOemmy: Can you then explain why none of POs former aides or appointees are seriously campaigning for him? Do you know when you deposit money in fixed deposits you get interest ahead and only the capital on maturity? The $150m Obi left behind where is the interest?? Meanwhile, morally upright people don't understand governance that's a fact and that's the problem Buhari has caused. Even the bible frowned against hiding money instead of using it for productive means. Obi who never understood production himself will come and use us for experiment and that will not be acceptable. That's the fact! |

SmartPolician: First I appreciate your matured response. Many others would have gone violent. The truth is we would both be idiots if we fight over these guys but we owe it to ourselves to screen all of them. Major problem is when they get to office they get carried away. Who could have imagined Buhari with all his military experience would allow idiots who used to be recharge card vendors operate with impunity under his government and nothing happens. Same way GEJ allowed excesses from his wife and most likely Tinubu would accept same from his children. However, I don't believe in a lesser evil. Evil is evil. |
Politics / Re: FG Awards Zinox Technologies Over N85bn 2023 Digital Census Contract by callthefred: 8:57pm On Feb 07, 2023 |
SmartPolician: Yes I am beginning to support Tinubu. The US issued a statement that the man doesn't have a drug case in the US but he avoided taxes and was purnished. Obi on the other hand had offshore accounts to hide taxes. Tinubu worked with ExxonMobil and the company confirmed it same with Deloitte. Obi on the other hand has always been an importer, he once lied he didn't change his wristwatch in 17 years until bursted. Do you know Dangote now produces everything he once imports locally, from Sugar, rice, flour etc... I'll trust Dangote to deliver more than Obi. The only person who has ever praised PO has been PO himself. 1 Like 1 Share |
