---Obidients will soon accuse him that Tinubu has paid him---

Is that not what has being happening, sinc. the coalition left SDP have you heard pim from the members wey dey shout we no go gree .. they know the kind job Tinubu dey like to dey pay for

Putindbutt:
As Nwosu don cash out abi?, don't worry yourself, he will cash the matter out in court, Lol.

which court, one in st lucia ... cos court are no longer to decide or resolve party crisis anymore in Nigeria that why you see pdp asking Inec for counsel

Tinubu as come to destroy whatever is left of our democratic system

DoctorShomo:
So you think they will just open a tap and Boom! the quantity of oil being produced by Nigeria will automatically quadruple.

Even if that were possible the price of petrol is no longer going back to N87!

This coalition is an exercise in futility!

i think you should have keep quiet, who said anything about " Boom" ... this is one major problem with you Tinubu fanatic you rather romance problems. optimization of production is feasible and viable no doubts

You can use your mouth to say whatever But the message out there is clear Nigerian are tired of Apc/Tinubu consistent failures & excuses

emkz:
What exactly will the coalition do differently?

In 2023, there was a consensus on subsidy removal and fx harmonization. Now that those things have been done, they have no more grounds to campaign again. Hence they have to awaken corpses of Muslim-Muslim ticket.

Dear coalition rabble-rousers:

1 Will you return oil subsidy if elected? If yes, how would it be funded?

2 Will you encourage dollar arbitrage?

3 Will you cancel TInubu's student loans?

4 Will you cancel NYSC, JAMB and cancel Hajj subsidy?

5 Will you consider amnesty for Boko Haram terrorists?

6 How will you address power-sector reforms?

7 Will you cancel the Lagos-Calabar coastal highway?

8. Will you reverse the regional development commissions?

We have heard that you want to send Tinubu back to Lagos. That is not Nigeria's problems.

Campaign on any of the above.

For your mind you don ask question jamb standard

1. The new govt dont have to bring back subsidy, they just have to optimize crude productivity and ensure our refineries are working for real ... that will bring about affordability

2. floating the Naira is not working, yoruba sdage says if its difficult to go forward reverse is an option ... we can run two xchange window temporary and govt enforce stringent laws to dissuade a dollarize economy

3. The student loan as recorded no tangible impact, report showed most student dont even get the money so it as good as good riddance

4. first, no govt is subsidizing jamb or Nysc and for Hajj .. subsidy removal is long overdue cos the money is wasted on people who have the means and above all the country gain nothing from it

5. No amnesty makes no sense, those killed families are suffering and they watch govt feeed their tormentor

6. A true power reform is when the industry is sold to those in that line, from ownership to minister

7. The calabar coastal road though a good one but instead of waiting for a road that will take over 20yrs .. we can refocus priority to existing roads that need attention

8. Some questions are needless, go n sit down jare

This is not true.

Wike is powerful because when Atiku left PDP in 2014 to work against PDP in the 2015 election, Wike stayed behind. Wike funded the party after Goodluck Jonathan lost the elections.

Gradually, Wike funded many people's elections. How he got the funds can be investigated.

Atiku returned in 2017. He hustled for the ticket. He won it. He picked Peter Obi as running mate without due consultations with the PDP southeast causus. Wike worked for the Atiku-Obi 2019 ticket. He even visited Tinubu at night to ask Tinubu to back Atiku, considering that pre-2019, Tinubu was considerably sidelined. When Tinubu asked WIke who'd replace Buhari, Wike mentioned Atiku, Saraki, and Company. Tinubu said if those were the alternatives, he'd stick out his neck with Buhari till the end despite being sidelined by Buhari's men.

Tinubu earned Wike's respect with that display of loyalty, and they started a friendship according to Wike.

In 2019 after Atiku lost the election, Wike, who was one of the funders of Atiku's run was immediately sidelined. Recall that Wike had originally pitched his tent with Tambuwal, but was convinced by Jonathan to support Atiku.

In 2022, Tambuwal was to step down for Atiku in an election Wike was contesting. Wike felt undermined and made some demands to Atiku, following his defeat. Atiku refused to honour terms. There were rumours that had Atiku won that election, he would have jailed Wike. So the 2023 election was also about Wike's political survival. He therefore teamed up with a strong candidate to guarantee his own survival.

Dele Momodu has not forgiven Wike for threading the path that guaranteed his own political survival.

Wike became a behemoth, not because of Tinubu, but because of the likes of Atiku who could not wait to build the PDP because of their personal ambitions. Wike has funded many politicians and they have showed they'd not bite the fingers that helped them. Bala Mohammed spoke against Wike, but stopped when Yakubu Dogara revealed that Wike funded Bala's election.

Dele Momodu also received PR contracts from Wike as governor. Today, Dele has turned against Wike, because Wike's choice for his (Wike's) political survival ruined Dele's ambition of political visibility under an Atiku government.

Dele Momodu has not won any election and has no business projecting as an expert on Tinubu and Wike. He has demonstrated he is poor in political PR.

Cool story 👍But the fact still remains Wike is nothing without Tinubu and Wike relevance is highly dependent on his stay in PDP.

There is nobody that is indisposable to Tinubu, if he can dispose Aregbe forget who be wike ... let him lost grip on pdp 1st

GeneralPula:
Spain roads are not good..

Driving this beast on Spanish road is death sentence..

You can only drive this Lambo in a first world country..

Naso brainless zombie go talk if nah Nigeria the accident happen..

On the contrary naa good road dey cause this kind accident, assuming the road looks like Benin ore road, dem for dey go @ 5km per 1hr ... even if your tyre remove at that speed no chance of accident

Slytiger:
That'd why I said ADC is just APC and PDP lite. Nothing has changed.

Just some old cargo that are not happy they are not the ones currently stealing in government.

As for Obi, he is not even smart enough to figure out that Atiku is financing the coalition, and Atiku would be its presidential flag bearer.

Its not surprising that no pdp and even LP only governor have joined the coalition. Instead politicians, currently in power, are still decamping to APC.

You can say whatever you like, how many governors the LP have before Obi got 6million votes

Right under Tinubu nose plus his stooge governor .. Obi won in lagos and FCT

All we need is for the coalition to just present a candidate that tick the boxes ... 2027 is Nigerians vs Apc. we are tired of their evil

Omoapena:
All this coalition can not work against Tinubu, they are just wasting their time, the best candidate against Tinubu is Jonathan Goodluck, if he accepts to re-run under PDP, he alone can give Tinubu a tough election.

why should Jonathan still be interested in a dead party like PdP, the best it to leave pdp for Wike and make him useless

what is best for 2027 election against a Tinubu is two party race, ACN vs APC no block vote party

phantomxx:
The Obi Atiku alignment is the shocker! Coupled with the political party confusion they thought the coalition was deeply embroiled in.

They are just finding out that the ADA was a decoy!

They are now finding out that Obi refusing to talk about strategy in his interviews particularly the most recent with Rufai of arisetv was strategic!

They are beginning to see the moves one would previously ascribe to the POLITICAL dexterity of a person like Tinubu in certain actions taken by the coalition.

That's why they are rattled. 😂

You get ! they were confident the coalition will hit the rocks, a Atiku or Peter obi would back out

Tinubu fanatics believe only there god can pull a coalition together they underestimated El rufai ... fear short people

Jaga9ja:
The same PDP wey Wike don sell give APC...

Wike must be a professional joker

Please take a moment to write a quality post with at least 40 characters.

He is not just a joker sef, but he is maddt ... newsflash to wike is relevance Tinubu hit Marginal rock yesterday 02 july
with Atiku gone from pdp weytin Wike wan dey disstabilize 🤣 and if wike is not tearing pdp apart why does a Tinubu need him 🤣🤣


they saw it coming but never thought it would succeed just like that ... only Tinubu can do it

helinues:
Abi. Where are the youths in the same coalition. The disgruntled politicians think they can merge together and be be telling us stories .

The only mutual thing amongst those who re forming coalition is their hatred for president Tinubu, not that they care about the masses

Thought they said they care less, the reaction is just enough attestation thought only a Tinubu could ever pull a coalition sucessfully .. until yesterday Tinubu loyalist felt the Coalition move will crash e shock dem

Sunday dare must be very dunnb to insinuate Atiku formed the coalition when we all knew how El rufai (short devil) start the movement and started going round

when El rufai was network, the Apc dogs were laughing saying he is pained cos of appointment .. only Tinubu can pull political gladiators together thats there mindset they forgot El rufai played a major role even 2013

How can you guyz underestimate a short man, una don see Tinubu beg anybody to stay before

Tekflix:
Bro if it can fly for 140k lets deal ..

ogaemma:
Obi is now becoming too desperate.
He has forgotten his root in a hurry.
This is a man who got 6 million votes in the last election without any of these political vampires.
Why can't he stand alone, build his party and shake Nigeria again.

stay alone and lose again abi, 6million votes is enough trophy abi
Did Tinubu stand alone when he formed APC , those that pioneer Apc formation are they freshers or youths,
Some you are just unimaginable, is it not better for Obi to be part of a revolution that Win than to stand alone nd be getting 6millions vote as 3rd

Tochitee:
I don’t mind if there’s change of government in the next election , but any party that fields incompetent people with negative /fake character like atiku should not be tolerated! Obi has been tested in small anambra and he failed woefully if not for tribalism and desperation from his online headless followers his name should never be mentioned anything close to government . Trying new hands like elrufia is a welcome idea or sowore !

and what about the Tinubu we fondly recited built Lagos, tamed the red sea and parted the ocean No be the fullish old man dey cut onions for the masses eye

my point is person wey fvcckup yesterday fit do wonders tommorrow, it goes both ways as we can see Tinubu clueless n fumbling now

These ones are just anywhere belle face, not one thing as fallen back to the price pre May 29 or 3 months post may 29 for that matter

so what reduction are we celebrating,. subsidy removal took fuel to 500 ever since then have we struck 500 again, yet reform is working

one thing you must know is no lea der Rules forever

we must send a message power belongs to the people, and not defecting governors

kini itan yen waa ko wa, whats the story for

Nigerians are just tired, APC have being nothing but a curse to Nigeria

OZIOGU1:
Assemblies of political orphans
Looters
Crooks
Even david Mark wey no fit do road enter his village is angry that he is no longer revelant..
Imagine ihedioha ,

Atiku wey na serial loser, will lead them to losing again

Politics is a dirty game, it shouldnt bother you dirty people play the game

As we can see, they have never played any role in the destiny of our country and this is why they want to bring a change in 2027.

They never said they are New Breeds, and unlike APC they aint even promising change the mission is "Rescue" which sound logical n tenable
APC are the worst than a mistake, every agenda is to make life miserable for Nigerians, tigthen your belt n sacrifice is all we will have hear that useless party where as they are looting n choppping life

neyop85:
All of these people were in power, fighting Tinubu when he was not in power. They used currency redesign, sabotage, propaganda to fight Tinubu, yet he still defeated them. Someone, please tell me, now that the man is in power, how do these people hope to surmount him?
All I see are failed power mongers, hoping to grab power back while riding on the gullibility of some Nigerians. But, they also know, that the only way to win is to play dirty and Tinubu is also a master at it. We would see how it pans out and this move would finally make Tinubu a folklore that would be studied for generations to come.

Who are those in power and when was Tinubu in power

currency redesign was 2022, is it Atiku, or Peter or David mark that were in power, was it not even the an APC Buhari that tried to sabotage Tinubu emergence

Tew many low braen supporting Apc, you cant just find one with sænse

2mch:
Comedians. They can’t even organize location. Na so PDP thief go the point dem no even take care of or pay for their secretariat. Which monkeys, snakes and insects have now overrun. Every 4yrs una go just come together to form party to share money.

You are the one with a faulty eye & mind, the book event centre cancalled on them .... that does not sound like the organisers fault instead we know how Tinubu & wike are ferociously against the existence of opposition

2027 election under Tinubu would go down as the worst election ever in history of earth

Exousiang01:
You need to read books.

Lagos had Agberos before Tinubu was born....

Go and read some of Chinua Achebes books. People were already writing about agberos before Tinubu became somebody

🤣 with your respond, e be like say the question hard pass jamb 2025 ??


Just One pioneer before Tinubu 🤣 person papa wan cry

Naa weytin folake4u no wan dey here be this ... not enough content, add your own

helinues:
Considering the amount of dollars that was wasted for the 2015 election, how did the rate manage to stay around N355? Just explain to us logically . It was after the 2015 election the global oil price dropped, take note of that in your response

Abacha regime recorded the most stable rate,

can you say dollar spent on 2015 election was more than what Abacha looted in dollars

Kukutente23:
If you are talking of stability, fixed rates are even more stable than floating rates

Meanwhile you seem to have confused yourself by stretching the lies of subsidizing dollars as being peddled by the BAT crew. The CBN gov in 2010 was a certain Lamido Sanusi not Emefiele. The President was Jonathan and not Buhari. In 2010, Nigeria was practicing the Dutch Auction System to fix dollar rates which implied that there was nothing like dollar subsidy.
"Dollar subsidy" started under Buhari and even at then, it was not the full dollar demands that were "subsidized" but rather, for a select set of activities. So picking "dollar subsidy" in isolation without understanding the dynamics of how it worked is why a lot of you senselessly parrot the wild claim that Nigeria was borrowing $1.5bn every month under Buhari to "subsidize" the naira.

thank you ! make one kid just carry phone dey insult our intelligence online ... naa wa o

aribisala0:
Not everything is politics
I really do not know what you mean by subsidized dollar
Maybe you can define that and also state clearly the extent or percentage subsidy

My understanding is that the The Forex market is one of the most efficient with price discovery governed by demand and supply
By Forex market I am referring to what Nigerians call black market i.e Aboki/ BDC


The main discrepancy is the spread between the official rate i.e what the CBN sold at and what was happening on the street

A large spread is more indicative of what you might be referring to as SUBSIDY though Subsidy is not an accurate description

That spread widened under Buhari

Now at the time when it was 1 to 150 Emefiele was not in office
He came into office in June 2014 by which time the cracks had started to appear it was about 165 and on the the street it was approaching 200

Your claim that WE WERE BORROWING to sustain exchange rate is ridiculous.

What does that mean in practice ? That we were borrowing dollars and then underselling?

FIrst of all who was the WE that was doing that? The Federal Government or the CBN. That is a fundamental question you need to answer to demonstrate you have a clue what you are talking about

For the record this business of "FLOATING" the Naira is not new
The dollar was very stable at 80 Naira under Abacha it was the REAL rate

The reason is simple He was able to Stifle DEMAND for imports

The exchange rate ultimately depends on the balance between imports and exports

Again between 1999 and 2014 . The exchange rate was very stable at close to 150

This was based on very healthy Foreign reserves, higher oil prices

And the fact that Obasanjo had been able to clear debt



Much of the borrowing that happened after that purportedly for rail and other infrastructure projects,as well as for balancing the budget put pressure on the exchange rate because the ability to repay and service debt as well as consume imports at the same rate became more difficult when oil prices crashed in 2014

After Buhari came in it was clear the Naira needed to be devalued and this happened but it did not go far enough, was not transparent and then corruption set in at the CBN leading to a widening of the spread between street and official rate

This is not new we have seen this several times before in the late 80s and 90s


SO Whilst I agree with the decision to let the Naira find its value. It is not new we have done that before also your understanding and analysis is wrong.

There never was any borrowing to support the Naira . That is silly honestly

The use of the word subsidy is wrong.

The CBN is not the only player in the the Forex market. Over $20 billion of diasporan remittance enter the market each year and that money is traded VERY EFFICIENTLY . There is nothing like subsidy there. There is genuine price discovery

I think the OP mistook everyone here online as kids born 2015, cos i dont know what gave him the impetus to even come up with such delusion

helinues:
One year naira to dollar difference is just N25. Bro that's real stability in currency. You can also confirm it by searching for the rate of dollar in 2024 and as at today, the Google always give average rate.

This government should be commended for thst

Since when did " stability" become the credence to evaluate currency strength or value

Even if its about stability .... we've heard multiple records of "stability"

1972 - 1980, 1989- 90, 95- 2000, 06 -08.

those are years of REAL STABILITy, so whatever you just tried to posit doesnt hold water

https://www.nairaland.com/7161648/naira-dollar-exchange-rate-history

helinues:
That lies have been flying around for some time whenever some people want to question why the dollar rate currently is above N1500.

The truth is, during the time of naira to dollar N150, it was subsidized dollar as the then president didn't want the rate to go unnecessary higher during his time, they kept subsidizing while the then CBN governor and his cronies were reselling to other countries. It even got to a time we were borrowing just to meet up with the fake N150 rate.

Buhari stopped the borrowing, even though there were still subsidizing, we started seeing N355 rate, as the subsidizing money was reducing, the rate continue going up

President Tinubu came, he said we are not going to subsidized the dollar again, let the real price show it's face and the market will take care of the rest.

Without borrowing, without subsidy, the real actual Dollar rate as from 2023 when president Tinubu took over was N1500. As at this time last year, Naira to dollar rate was around N1535. As at today's rate it's around N1560

Naira to dollar rate 2024 N1535
Naira to dollar rate 2025 N1560

Can we see the stability in the naira to dollar rate under this government?

Unfortunately for you 2010 is just like yesterday, some of us here done finish Nysc sef, as at 2010 i remember changing 1 euros for 210 @ kwara hotel bureau

Even if you posit the dollar was subsidized then to keep it at a sane rate,.. thats still not a valid excuse or justification cos,

within the last 2yrs of Tinubu regime we've heard words like " Cbn intervention" they say its for shortfall ... is that not subsidy

Intervals Tinubu also subsidize lets not even fool ourselves But e still No work .. yeye people

Exousiang01:
This was an incident that happened in Ogun state.
They are Agberos in every state in Nigeria.
Was it Tinubu that traveled round the 36 states creating garage touts

Most of you Obidients really need to have your brains checked.
I am sure you don't even know were mowe is, you just saw agbero and jump on Tinubus back.
Anambra state government had to create an enforcement group to deal with touts, is that also the legacy Peter left for the people of Anambra state.

Insanity is not something to be proud of, go and get help



Was it Tinubu that came to start Agbero in Anambra state?
So you agree that Agbero in Anambra got to the level that the state had to set up a task force, is it Tinubu and South-Western governors that are sponsoring the touts in, Aba, Onitsha, PH, Asaba, Benin and many other cities in Nigeria?

Please kindly tell us.
I want to know. Tell us if Tinubu is also the sponsoring them.
If its not Tinubu then we should agree that, that is the legacy Obi left for his people....

Wild Animals in human skin

Before Tinubu mention One pioneer of Agberos in Nig.
