So you want make Wike & Sons Corruption Plc carry the money chopulate?

No wonder Wike is always dragging land with Generals and real owners of land in Abuja..

Learn to read and comprehend what you read.

Cunny man die, cunny man bury am. When you are buying land and you are facilitating with $2.1m cash,did you get FCT receipt?, is it not that you knew whatever transaction you were trying to do was illegal? But you were scammed by another scammer?

Please the court should be freed up for law abiding people with legitimate cases not people who tried to cheat the system but got cheated…..allegedly.

The audacity of some people to go to court to actually say I tried to obtain land fraudulently and was scammed so please help me.

These clowns will soon want to claim parts of Lagos.

He is simply stating the fact. Presidency is not turn by turn but based on the work and trust you have built.

The more they insist on turn by turn instead of building bridges and earning votes, alienating and antagonizing others instead of building trust, the more it eludes them.

The opportunity for a southern president comes once every 16yrs…..miss that opportunity and it becomes 32, carry on with the same mindset and don’t do the work and it becomes 48 etc etc etc.

Heaven will not fall and Nigeria will remain Nigeria if an Ibo man never becomes president. Presidency is not a right. There are 250 tribes in Nigeria, each one has the same right to contest as the Ibo man…….but none has a right to be president.

You earn the presidency based on the work you have put in, the relationships you have nurture, the support you have given to others, and how you have interacted with others.

All I want to know is when/who elected or appointed him to any office that he is now ascribing to himself the title of “Hon”?

In Nigeria, only the following can be refered to as honorable or “hon”

Members of the House of Representatives, state lawmakers, local government chairpersons, ministers, commissioners, and high-ranking judiciary members (e.g., The Honourable Justice).

Response “to” not response “on”

By reducing what government pays politicians,cost of government projects and cost of procurement

Government only controls wages of its own workers. Who is going to pay the wages of those in the private sector?

We have a population of 200m, only 2-3 million are employed by the federal and state governments. Who will pay for the remaining?

And if he manages to get all private sector workers to increase the minimum wage to N500k, do you appreciate the level of inflation that will bring about?

This is why we should study history, go and read about the inflation caused by the Udoji awards in the 1970s, when the govt increased wages of civil servants.

How he will do it is if still remain in PDP and the party settled their disputes and also agreed to zone presidency to sought. . Hope you gat that binary politiculation. If not, I see No reason Dog and Lion hugging each others or why cat is washing hand beside a pot of soup

When they say a man is educated, literate, and intelligent, it is assumed that when he reads a statement, he understands what he read.

An educated and intelligent man doesn’t read a statement that says “the plan is to paint the door blue but I don’t know how” and responds by saying” but you only have red paint”.

olaadenigeria:
Tinubu only concern is second term winning. Wike should should know that immediately after 2027 election what happened to El- Rufai is coming. President is using him to secure Rivers, and divides PDP and other top guns. Abuja is known not to like APC since Buhari regime. So wike as fct minister is a strategy to add Abuja vote to his pocket.

My friend, Wike is the next president from the south. Tinubu knows he is the only politician from the south capable of running this country and enduring his legacies.

The only unknown is how Tinubu is going to swing it.

Before nko? Uzodinma should focus on delivering his state…..which he has never delivered.

You won’t bring back subsidy, you will continue with floating of Naira. What exactly is different what Tinubu is doing? These are the root causes of the hardship. So if you think Obi is going to make your life easier, you weren’t blessed with grey matter!

For high level engagements with IPOB London and German branches.

At this point it is clear that anyone still beating the drum for Peter Obi is not driven by intelligence, critical thinking or the well being of Nigeria.

The evidence is just too much, even Rufai now admitting in TV that poverty increased in Anambra under Obi.

Things have fallen apart.

Those still supporting obi are merely revealing what we have always known, their support is driven by ethnic sentiments or hatred.

There is nothing being revealed today that wasn’t in the public domain in 2023 but they refused to see because they didn’t want to see. It has become impossible to hide anymore!

The only other logical reason is if you are a nobody, a nonentity and you see Obi as a platform to raise your profile or cash out….people like Mama per and that other Peter guy, who would otherwise be nobodies if not for Obi.

Sermwell:
I like what they are cooking for Amoda Yekini ogunlere

There are 2 sets of political supporters and in every election season you see them doing what they do best. Those whose aim is to abuse the most and those whose aim is to win the elections. The good thing is that everyone achieves their goal!

Give it to them,Group 1 will always win the prize for the loudest and most brutal abuses rained but luckily group 2 will always win the election because INEC counts votes not insults and abuses .

I like that everybody knows their role and don’t stray into the others territory. Group 2 leaves abuse for group 1 and group 2 leaves strategy and winning for group 2. Everybody respecting their lane! Group 1 avoids strategy and planning and group 2 avoids abuses.

Tinubu would be relaxing in Aso Rock, pinching himself to check if he is dreaming, not believing how God has graciously bestowed on him such an incompetent and imbecilic opposition.

Never in the history of our country has the opposition at the national level been so inept, incompetent, sterile and impotent.

Ameerah1234:
This is the most serious energy plan I've seen from any candidate so far. Others are just promising, Hashim is telling us HOW - recover 3,000 shut-in wells, refine locally, track it with a public dashboard. Moving from 1.5m to 4m bpd in 24 months is ambitious but it's based on existing assets, not new promises. This is how you make N605/litre possible.

Read about Trump’s plans to raise production in Venezuela and the then you know how much of a fairytale Hasheem’s rumblings are. To summarize to re open oil production in Venezuela from 1.25 to 3 milllion wil take 15 years and $185billion.

To restart production from shut in wells assumes you had that level of production in wells that have been shut in…..see below!

Don’t let anyone lie to you in election season

megawealth01:
It's a huge achievement especially in Nigeria

It is not a big deal! Many of the 1st gen professors became professors in their 30s, off the top of my head I can probably make up a list of over 100 from that generation! I think 1 or 2 even in his late 20s. Iya Abubakar ( former minister of defense under Shagari and senator in 1999) became a full professor at 28. Some werenso brilliant they made full professor in 3-5yrs.

If you started school at a normal age and you are a brilliant researcher, you should should have made full professor after 10yrs as a lecturer…max!



I am talking full professors here not these nonsense that you do theses days where you call Nigerian teaching assistants in the USA professors or call associate professors professors.

We went through all of this on the last election cycle and we will go through it again.

At the end of the day
1: the opposition is split
2: neither of them will make the 25% requirement.
3: neither of them has enough national reach.
4: neither of them has anything to offer so they are resorting to the same failed MO of attacking their opponent.
5: Nigerians are not stupid, what are you offering? We don’t elect presidents based on na me attack the incumbent pass! It may translate to election theatrics for your supporters but not votes.
6: I have said this many times, in an election you need the votes of those who didn’t vote for you last time you lost. Your message must appeal to them not those whose votes you had but did not lead you to victory last time.
7: you ran the same smear tactic last time and they still voted for him. You need their votes and you think the same smearing will cause them not to vote for him but you?
8: the hired goons will make money from Atiku and he still won’t be president.

Jesus wept! The irony is they say these things because their supporters will believe it.

An ex-governor (out of office and in opposition to the govt of the day at the time) will send a forged US embassy letter to a federal govt agency…an agency of the same federal govt trying to prosecute him and the said embassy (well aware of the case) will see the so called forged letter and not say we didn’t right this letter…..or the federal agency or govt themselves will not confirm with the ambassador?

They know their audience sha!

RealLordZeus:
I thought they said PMB left nothing in the reserves

There is gross reserves and net reserves. Just like obi told us he left money in the bank but had already issued post dated cheques to contractors which would come due as soon as he left office and the bank has to honour. What is left is your true balance or net reserves.

The figures quoted for Buhari are gross reserves. The reality (net or actual unencumbered reserves) was only $3b. In fact Cardozo stated recently that it’s only now he can reveal it wasn’t even up to $3b! He said the $3b figure did not come from them but from J.P Morgan but because they knew it was much less and that if they were to state the real figure which was less, it would cause the Naira to fall even further, they just kept quiet.

For example if you remember foreign airlines were leaving Nigeria and fares were astronomical for those who remained because they couldn’t get their money out. Airlines alone had $7b stuck in Nigeria that they couldn’t remit to their home countries, we simply didn’t have the $ to sell to them despite $33b “gross reserves”. That’s why the figure that matters is “net reserves”……that’s what is truly available!

Similarly, our true (net) reserves as at today is not $52b but $40b, similarly for all those presidents listed, the figures are gross reserves. Gross reserves can be deceptive. It’s like comparing 2 peoples’s bank balances when one has a huge balance but a huge outstanding loan and the other has a smaller balance but no debts. There was a chart I posted some time ago that showed the gross and net reserves over the years for past administrations. The Buhari regime was the anomaly, usually net is closer to gross.

The next southern president!

These are the real politicians giving you you the real election data. The impossibility of Atiku and Obi is that no matter what they try or how many votes they get, none of them is getting the 25% in 24 states + FCT.

Just like 2023, the race was over the minute they could not unite.

DoTheNeedful:
Ikemefeuna Okeke is a liar and a con man.

He collected $1.2 million for lobbying, which is a highly professional role in America. Rather than doing his job, all he does is to smear the person he is lobbying against.

Lobbyists in the US are rarely seen and heard. They operate smoothly in the background and get results for their clients. Ikemefuna has resorted to social media bullying and campaign against Tinubu while hiding under his wife's surname (Von Batten) and tagging Trump, DOJ, JD Vance, CNN, Aljazeera on every post he makes about Tinubu on X. This is very strange.

Even the court case he bandies online against Tinubu was filed three years ago by Aaron Greenspan.

Atiku has been scammed badly.

Anybody can say I was offered a bribe…..I didn’t see the OP’s post as it is clearly from someone I have blocked but I can bet he didn’t mention any name.

Every 4 yrs is Atiku cash out period. He who doesn’t get alert from Atiku between now and January has missed the Atiku gravy train for good!

The thing with Atiku and his promises is that he knows he isn’t seeking a second term. He will promise to bring your loved ones back from the dead if that is what you need to hear to vote for him.

He knows he won’t have to deliver on any promise and there will be no electoral consequences if he becomes president and fail to fulfill them.

Project galore under this administration

Ahead ahead jare Nigeria

I’m sorry but this has all the hallmarks of somebody packaging a deal for himself!

MamaFryo:
We were paying subsidy during OBJ, Ya'adua & GEJ yet we had better economic growth. Payment of subsidy is not the problem. It's eliminating corruption from it which Buhari & Tinubu lack the political will to do. Then, Tinubu took the easy way out to the detriment of Nigerians.





Wetin I even know sef? I'm just an ordinary Nigerian Policewoman.

The biggest sources of corruption over the last few decades has been forex and fuel subsidies. More funds from our commonwealth was lost/looted every year from these 2 than all the over-inflated contracts in the country combined.
When you eliminate the source of corruption, you have dealt corruption a blow. It’s not until you arrest and parade people that never go to prison that you fight corruption. If you remove the source of corruption, you have eliminated the corruption. You can’t steal from a system that no longer exists!

True current value of the Naira should be about N1,000 to $1 or lower. I am sure the CBN is intervening in the market to keep it at current undervalued levels.

Why would they want it at 1300-1400 for now?

1: it means govt gets more Naira for the dollar
2: they can offset local debts easier and I doubt they will allow it to go anywhere close to N1000 until they have liquidated the massive 30trillion ways and means debt they inherited from the Buhari administration.
3: it discourages imports and encourages exports
4: it discourages capital flight as those portfolio investors who came it when Dollar was >1500 will be encouraged to cash out and repatriate funds if Naira appreciates. Those portfolio investors know there is at least an additional 30% profit waiting for them for the day the Naira rises to its true value.
5: it gives the government wiggle room to manage current and future global shocks.

Jayjayconcept:
Somebody has cashed out Big time,

It's very simple,
for everyone in Nigeria to feel the impact, REDUCE PRICE OF FUEL

To Just #510 when they removed SUBSIDY
Instead of Dashing Governors Billions

Had it been you were educated, you would know that the government did not dash governors any money. Fuel subsidy and any costs or debts incurred as a result of the subsidy regime was taken out of the federation account (look up the meaning of federation) . The federation account belongs to the 3 tiers of government and once subsidy is removed and no longer debited from the federation account, the gain is AUTOMATICALLY shared according to the sharing formula in the constitution.

VDM at the NBA conference and daring to launch a political party which will likely be popular is the final evidence that this country has gone to the dogs!

It is a symptom of an opposition that have nothing to campaign on. No track record, no past achievements, no plan, no manifesto!

The only thing they and their supporters can do is abuse and attack, insult and regurgitate failed strategies.

You see them all over Nairaland opening threads every day….do you ever see them opening a thread telling us what their candidate will do? They themselves don’t know.

The incumbent is so bad…..ok no problem….tell us what your guy is going to do…they can’t!

I said it at least 2 years ago. No serious Northerner with ambitions and realistic chance of becoming president himself will support Atiku. It’s political suicide!
