Gbam. Never again will Wike produce the national chairman of the PDP. Wike is a control freak. So such opportunity should never be given to him.

Honjoshy4u:
That arithmetic is from APC mathematics textbook.
Your score is F9
Party (APC) will loose the Election because of the suffering caused by their maladaministration and the kind of evil candidate they chose with lots of questionable character like that of a night BAT.
Even people of Katsina is tired of the failure of APC.
Party PDP and LP will gain massively from the maladministration of the failed APC.
You should be ashamed that after the maths, you will still go out to buy rice #45000, fuel #220, and unable to pay your bills.

kennyz247:
he also spoiled things for APC too in the south,east,west and north too,but PDP will still come stronger than any candidate due to the massive support he's going to get from the north, average votes from all regions of the country..

Honjoshy4u:
Mu ba ta wuta!
There is scarcity of broom in the North because them don burn am finish.
Wike should go to hell.
He won't have the opportunity to control the party anymore.
I stay in Rivers, he is even scared to attach Tinubu picture with that of his guber candidate. Not even Abe or Ameachi try am.

Honjoshy4u:
I will teach you arithmetic for free.

Honjoshy4u:
Atiku will win hands down without them.
The Election is about sentiment, mostly with Obi's entrant. The North will vote their son massively while Atiku consolidate with Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Akwa-Ibom, cross River in S.S.

Honjoshy4u:
He will win convincingly.
Gombe votes will cover anything those states want to bring. All Atiku need to do which he is doing is to secure 60% in the North.
Even Katsina don fall for PDP.
Obi in the race is a blessing and made the Election sweeter. Tinubu/APC can't gain from S.S/S.E.
Wike/Ortom should go to hell.

Honjoshy4u:
Wike now can move on and find another lie to attack Ayu. Thanks to Makinde but Ayu will not resign for Wike's man to be chairman. Wike will not control the party again

Try and apply reason when you talk. Peter Odili has to sop schooling in 1967 because of the civil war he came back after the war and wrote his Higher school certificate exams in 1972 which definitely he met Peter Obi there in CKC as a junior boy.

"The next few months (after the Biafra/Nigeria war ended January 1970) were most testing and trying. Linking up with the rest of the family, not knowing who survived and who did not, finding old friends on both divides. Ekeing out a living was a day to day affair. It was survival of the fittest and for me the dignity of labour was the key. I was ready mentally to work with my hands to survive, my pedigree was of no issue now. The reality was that I was an orphan, my family fortune had been destroyed by the war, no member of the family was in a position to carry anyone else's burden. So "you must take your destiny in your hand"- I told myself….An old school friend met me at Onitsha, having come Agbor, and gave me one pound. That started me up. I bought and sold bread, garri and toilet soaps from Agbor to Onitsha. In a few weeks I made a few pounds. I changed my clothing and now started thinking of a more appropriate engagement. Through some old friends and using my CKC (Onitsha) background, I got a school teaching job as a science teacher in a Catholic school in Afuze, in now Edo State, through a Rev. Fr. Nolan (Irish, now late) whom I met through auntie Helen Bokolo and her cousin Opene. This teaching job now repositioned me to pursue my interrupted academic ambition of becoming a medical doctor.

"In 1966 as a lower 6 student in CKC I had secretly sat and passed the entrance exam to University College Ibadan but by September 1966 the Nigerian crisis had reached a point where people were beginning to head home. I therefore aborted the resumption at Ibadan….(After the war) I secured admission to study medicine starting with the premedical year at the main campus at Nsukka. From my savings from my teaching job at Afuze and a little support from late Rev. Nolan, I managed to pay my deposit tuition of 20 pounds but could not pay for the hostel accommodation. Luckily I met some students who were luckier and so I squatted in room 101 Awolowo hall with Innocent Masi with whom I shared old family ties from Omoku….I bought a 6 spring mattress which I would fold in the morning and tuck under one of the beds and pull out at night for sleep. Not being an official boarder, dining in the refectory was out of the question unless I got a meal ticket from one of my friends. So I made do with snacks and soft drinks bought from kiosks most of the time. I focused on my mission-studying to qualify to the medical school at Enugu campus. Nothing else mattered. This was my situation, I had 2 sets of 2nd hand shirts and trousers and a pair of snickers rubber soled shoes all through that year, washing and changing them alternately. This was the situation until Gen. Yakubu Gowon visited Nsukka and declared free tuition and feeding for 'indigent students'. I was a beneficiary and life became more comfortable.

"….I passed my premed year exams and moved over to the medical school at Enugu campus of the University of Nigeria. I left Nsukka with one firm resolve "to kill indigence for good in the subsequent years." As soon as I settled down to the 1st medical year in October 1971 I started planning how to kill 'poverty'. Luckily I was fairly sociable and so interactively I picked up information that one could earn as much as 40 pounds per week working as a labourer in a factory abroad during long vacation. And so I started working towards a vacation trip early in my first year at Enugu campus. I secured my first international passport as a first step. The session ended and I was still hanging around on campus when fortune came knocking. One hitch hiking Swiss student got stranded in Enugu and came to the hostel to seek shelter. The hostel security men brought him to my room for assistance. After chatting with him for a few minutes I was satisfied he was genuine though he looked disheveled and dirty-stenchy indeed. I took him in, he had a bath, I gave him a change of T-shirt and took him to eat at the bukka. We got friendly and got talking and knowing ourselves. He turned out to be the son of a Swiss professor with a mother who was a PhD Psychologist, intellectual and practitioner and had a step brother who was a young medical doctor, all resident in Zurich. He was a student of history but was 'rebelliously' touring Africa.

"Through this contact I secured a letter of invitation to Switzerland with which I got an 8 week visa to Switzerland. With my little saving and loan of 15 pounds from my eldest sister Regina (Osademe, nee Odili), I made up the 30 pounds for the return ticket to Zurich and had $10 balance. I set out for Zurich by Swissair flight from Lagos. I was met by my Swiss friend's brother Mathew, he took me to a penthouse apartment he was sharing with his girlfriend and gave me a little room to stay. Within a few minutes I had told him what my mission was- to find a job to earn money and go back to school and put an end to indigence.

"By the end of the next day I secured a job at a construction site, the pay was 9 SFr per hour for 8 hrs/day and 150% for overtime. Yours truly jumped at the offer and worked like hell. At the end of the vacation I came back home a 'rich' student. I paid off the loan, paid off my fees for the next session, had a brand new wardrobe, one of the best on campus and set aside money for the next vacation. Life had taken a turn for the better. The next session was now more comfortable, I faced my studies, I became popular amongst my mates….Next vacation I made it to London and secured two vacation jobs, a day job in a brewery as a labour hand and the other a lift cleaning job at a hotel at night. Both jobs netted about 80 pound/week for me. At the end of the vacation I was able to buy a used Fiat car and shipped it home. I put the car into use as a taxi in Enugu. It made an average of N15/day. Level had changed, I was now easily one of the rich students on campus out of sheer will and determination stimulated by 'indigence'. My exposure on these trips showed me that it could also pay to buy and sell goods. And so with subsequent vacations I bought clothes and shoes for sale to students. I had become a source of support to my family and friends.

"My academics did not suffer as a result of these extracurricular exploits, rather the exposures matured me beyond my peers….I graduated in June 1977 as a medical Doctor- a dream come true. Life on campus was quite unique, the medical curriculum was structured so intensively that it left the conscientious student little or no room for socialisation. It took extra effort to relate and interact with non-medics who appeared to have more time on their hands. However, destiny had programmed me to meet my wife Mary on campus and that for me was all the socialization that mattered. It's a story for another page."

Got married 2yrs ago and we have a beautiful daughter, she has this dream of studying in Canada and I support her dream.

Our immigration consultant recommend she apply alone to increase chances that i and our daughter can join her later.

Now visa is out and she will be travelling next month. I have read numerous stories about how women change when they travel out.

Should I be worried?

Biodun556:
When did Nigeria start cashless policy? The cashless policy we practice hasn't cover 10% of our daily transaction.

If I borrow 5 million naira from GT bank to buy cow from Fulani, definitely I will pay in cash.

If bank generate just figures as you claim, no naira note should be in circulation by now.

If you go to bank early in the money to withdraw in most cases with my own experience, if no one has save money, those who want to withdraw we have to remain on queue till the bank collect enough cash from depositors. The bank will give excuse that no net work for those who want to withdraw or simply keep them waiting.

You are still not making sense to me.

Okay Noted because I have some Insight Into this banking stuffs.

But what If all the Creditors decided to "Get the money In Cash" where would the bulk cash come from? I've read something like this somewhere I think about JP Morgan and some other finance giant. But I'm not sure any Nigeria Bank have the capacity to do this.

So I await your response..

gypsey:
You are not wrong and he isn't entirely wrong either if bank gives me loans of 10 million and i deceides to witdraw the 10 million cash if bank don't have the cash how then can i witdraw the 10 mill? I am just asking you a question don't bite me.


What if all the 100 people bank loaned 10 milllion each decides to witdraw where will bank get the whole amount if the bank has only 10 million? i mean, they are allowee to witdraw right? Especially in Naigeria where most businesses are done in cash.

Biodun556:
If that's the case no bank should collapse

Biodun556:
Not true

Biodun556:
How will bank issue loan if people are hoarding the note?

Technically, government use crude oil and other mineral resources to print currency, then some people hoard the resources and prevent it from circulating till it spoiled in their houses.

Most Nigerians are greedy and our leaders are products of our rotten society
