Say what you like Binance man.

Your employees will go through the normal legal process here.

If they are found guilty of a crime, they will be convicted, and depending on the Judge, they will be liable to fines or time in prison.

There's nothing your crooked, money laundering company will be able to do about it.

Nigeria - BIG and STRONG! Though a little hungry.

Ah ah ah.

SmartPolician:
After detaining them, you still tour around the world telling companies to come and invest in your country

Those 2 actions are not mutually exclusive.

What warrants the quit notice?

The landlord doesn't need to provide a justification in the notice.

He has an inherent right to let or cease to let HIS property. In order to ensure balance and give you, the tenant, sufficient time to seek alternative accommodation, the law requires the landlord to give you at leat 6 months notice.

The landlord respects the law and has given you the required notice.

It is now your turn to do one of the following:

1. Get accommodation elsewhere and leave on or before 31st November, or

2. Pay a lawyer and make a claim in court that the landlord has no right to get his property back and tell the Court your reasons.

Most people will take option 1, and let peace reign in their life and the landlord's.

O.5% or 0.005?

0.5% will strangulate the economy. That means for every N1 million transfer, there's a levy of N5,000. That's on top of other bank charges. This is an evil tax, no more, no less.

Also, why is the tax ring fenced for the National Security Adviser, when it should go into the national purse and budgeted to the NSA from there. This unholy scheme will make the NSA one of the most 'juicy' and corrupt offices in the land.

Did the Committee on multiple taxation approve this tax? All these multiple taxation will kill enterprise and lead to job losses as people will give up even trying to establish or run businesses.

Nigeria is the only country I know where the Central bank imposes taxes nilly willy. Neither the Bank of England nor the FED impose taxes. What is the job of the Ministry of Finance.

Nigeria is set up and run the wrong way.

Why can’t the government simply ban cryptocurrencies in Nigeria.

Make it illegal and a strict liability offence for banks and other financial institutions.

Any bank found hosting any customer account dealing in crypto currency is liable to prosecution leading to a big fine upon conviction. As a strict liability offence, it would be irrelevant whether or not the bank was aware an account was being used for crypto.

The crypto thing is mostly delusional hot air.

To the poster who says he receives crypto for services he renders. Fair enough, but you are unfortunately in the minority. Most crypto activities are about trading and moving stolen public funds out of the country. These are the people being targeted by the CBN.

The government has a legitimate right to protect the interest of the country whether or not some agree.

What did he do as Governor to make Nigeria produce more.

It's easy to make speeches.

His white elephant Tinapa project proves that he wasn't any better.

10 years later, the finances of Cross River state has not recovered from his mismanagement.

Nigerian bread.

It leaves an after taste of a horrible chemical.

For the whole day, my throat would feel like I ingested a chemical from a laboratory.

The discomfort would keep me up all night.

There's something nasty in these breads that we are not being told.

Also, the amount of margarine (bakeries don't use real butter) in most bread is insane. That is terrible for people's cardiovascular health.

NAFDAC doesn't seem to know its right from left.

The Yoruba Internet warriors are a big part of the problem.

There is nothing wrong if Oba of Benin traces his lineage back to Ife. Both the Oba and the Ooni are comfortable with the true story.

But this new Internet generation have turned the whole thing into 'Yoruba owns Edo', 'Edo is Yoruboid' etc None of these is correct.

Edos are a proud people, with a distinct culture and civilisation. They're not Yoruboid and don't want to hear that nonsense.

I don't see why the Oba having Yoruba lineage should be a problem. If anything, it is something to be celebrated and honoured by him and the Ooni and used to bring their 2 people together.

The Oba of Benin is probably concerned that his people will hold his self-confessed Yoruba lineage against him. That is understandable in the context of petty political and civic rivalries that Africans in particular excel at.

People, particularly some of these Yoruba internet youths should butt out of this matter and let Edo people be.

There's a reason we have suede polish my guy...

See my suede, 3yrs old

I am sorry, but that's more like a brushed leather.

That's not a proper suede. And certainly not of the quality of Mr Omokri's.

I used to buy these things in Russell & Bromley in London.

People don't understand that because of its nature, suede shoes look older than their true age.

If you buy suede today, by the 3rd or 4th time you wear it, it will already look older than a leather shoe you have worn for several years. That's partly because, unlike leather, you can't polish it. Nor can you just grab a piece of cloth and water to wipe it.

Those who understand classical men's fashion know this. It is perfectly acceptable for a suede shoe to look a bit tatty.

If you see Prince Charles suede shoes, they look even worse than this man's own.

It's not about money.

Depending on the make, a suede shoe in the UK will cost upwards of £100. Up to £250 in some stores.

I can bet you, Mr Omokri's shoes will have cost him a lot of money, and I wont be surprised if it is only a few weeks old.

Mr Amaechi is defenestrated politically.

He is keeping low. That's his only choice until Mr Tinubu leaves office.

Nor can he go back to grievance-riven Pdp or join Labour party. No obvious political pathway for him right now.

Even after the current administration goes, I don't see a way back to the political heights he reached previously. Highly unlikely under APC because of the way he reacted after losing Apc primary, and his refusal to accept or acknowledge the President.

Things like that are not easily forgotten in politics. He is now inconsequential.

Nobody is unsettled here.

Just a few misguided fellows and ladies.

If anything, people feel sorry for the trouble their actions will get them into.

Nothing more than that.

The overwhelming majority of people all over the South want serious changes in how the machinery of the Nigerian state works. But, any call for separation has no traction at all in the SW.

I think I've only ever received 2 or 3 of this thing called voice note.

I didn't open/listen to any of them. The senders would follow up with a call to ask if I saw their VN. Why not call in the first place

None of my serious contacts has sent me one, and I doubt many in my circle would have the time for it.

Outside of business, I don't even like calling people let alone sending (eww) or listening to a voice note.

Nothing beats a quick text message.

Everything is highly regulated in Dubai

But if the Nigerian government made that same statement, people like you would be up in arms and claim the Nigerian government is evil and authoritarian. Some would even demand that the military should take over.

Arise TV would run programs upon programs over at least 2 weeks bringing a long line of publicity-hungry 'experts' to denounce the government and proclaim we are under the most anti democratic government since 1872.

However, if a foreign government (especially if they have a lighter skin than you) makes such statement, you will praise that foreign government as you did in your statement.

Inferiority complex.

Babanla ponzi scheme.

You can't buy anything with it. Government don't use it. It derives its price from nothing. Not goods. Not services.

If you gather worthless stones from the street, and you can convince some people that they stand to be rich if they buy the stones with real money and you use hype to tell the rest of the population that they 'll miss out from great fortune if they don't buy and trade the stone.

That's exactly what Bitcoin is.

It is vapour ware.

See how by a single maneuver, the government has effectively secured the Nigerian diesel market for Dangote.

That's a knock out punch against most European diesel imports.

Fear Government power o.

For those who don't understand, Dangote's diesel is superior quality and more expensive that the junk diesel that is usually imported from Europe.

This government policy means only diesel of a higher quality can be imported. That type will be too expensive if imported.

So, now, Dangote and other local refineries will have a better chance of capturing the Nigerian market.

Dangote rubbed the back of the government by reducing its diesel price, now the government is rubbing Dangote's back in return.

Win win for Dangote and Nigeria.

BigkokoRep:
Yahaya Bello should hole up in Lugard's House for the next three years.... Or negotiate your way to any Embassy willing to offer him .

If Efcc have reasonable cause to believe he is hiding in a Governor's residence, the Governor will be respected and asked to present him. If the Governor refuses, they will enter with force and get Mr Bello.

The Governor can do nothing.

What an embarrassment.

Would have been better to turn himself in before yesterday's incident. Many would have shown only passing interest.

But now, the whole thing has attracted nationwide interest.

EFCC was humiliated yesterday. Now they'll want to save face and press hard to fish him out.

Judolisco:
All dis nonsense happening now won't happen under late Yaradua or even obj.... I still blame buhari for d break down of law and order and tinubu must fix dis.... If not how can a serving governor help a wanted man to escape, in broad day light because of immunity.....

The President should not get involved. It's not his job.

Efcc should act within its powers to do what it needs to do.

Ofunaofu:
I agree that everything cannot be done at the same time, but in this case, nothing is being done.

It's been all motion without movement from day one.

That's clearly not correct.

Naira is on the up.
Insecurity is waning.
Prices of major goods are coming down - cement, diesel, iron rods etc
Student loan scheme on the way.
Federal road construction is at unprecedented levels.
Foreign investment is pouring into the country.
Federal revenue is at unprecedented levels - about 2 trillion shared with states last month.

Not bad for a government that is less than one year in office.

If they keep performing like this for another 3 years, I personally believe this will be the best government we have had in at least 50 years.

The government has a lot on its plate, and it is addressing a multiplicity of complex issues.

Everything cannot be done at the same time. There has to be a scale of priorities.

The current priorities are the economy, tackling exchange rate irregularities, and security. On these, the government is doing a good job.

Why should the President be the one getting directly involved in what happens to àn investigative journal about an individual's alleged involvement in smuggling, afterall there are thousands of smugglers in the country. What's the job of the Police? If that fails, try the NSA.

As to the humanitarian ministry, given the monumental fraud that has gone on there since it was created, including when it was under the direct supervision of the former vice president, Mr Laolu's boss, the present government is right to take its time in reworking the program or even scrapping it.

Ambassadors? What ambassadors. Nigeria is missing nothing from not rushing their appointments. It's usually job for the boys anyway. A last hurrah for mostly retiring/retired people. Many of them add no tangible value.

Given Mr Laolu's role in the previous government, he and that government were hardly a beacon of effectiveness.

He is not in a position to lecture anybody.

Jflex07:
Nonsense!!

You're upset about this good news?

Lawalemi:
What is the crash in this case?

If it goes from 1800 2 weeks ago to 1100 on the street, that's a significant reduction.

Most foods with colour white are bad for diabetes.

That's because whiteness is often an indication of low fibre content.

Very low fibre = simple carbohydrate.

Simple Carbohydrate = easy conversion to blood sugar.

Rice, Yam, Poundo yam, white bread have 2 things in common. They are white and bad for diabetes.

That's not to say all white foods are bads, and all darker colour foods are great.

Great to see Mr Tinubu writing in the world's leading political magazine.

Sending a message to the international community that his administration is taking the required, albeit difficult, decisions that are necessary to secure a future of shared prosperity for all Nigerians.

Our international partners and foreign investors will like this clear message from the President.

Excellent.

Sacrifice now for a better future.

Let's do it!

Putting Muslim students in that situation is wrong.

Official religious holidays should be respected by government institutions.

ambale:
One painful thing is that the initial gragra of the early months is now dieing down

And things have gone too sour

Imagine buying garri for 3k, never thought I would witness such in my life🤔

Let's hope the baba wakes up in the second year sha

So the baba should leave his office to go and farm cassava .

Cassava can grow well in many parts of the country.

What is stopping you from growing it and contributing your own quarter to bringing the price of garri down?

You want perpetually subsidised fuel.

You want subsidised University education

You want subsidised gas.

You want subsidised electricity.

You want government to subsidise everything.

You also want the government to make garri cheap for you.

Haba

Absolute nonsense.

This is the most accomplished problem-solving administration we have had, probably for 50 years. Mr Babangida's administration also tried

From the early 70s when Nigeria was awash with petro-dollars as a result of Middle East crises, no Nigerian administration has faced the diversity, scope, depth and complexity of the challenges this administration met when it took over.

Nigeria was virtually on the verge of financial collapse, borrowing huge sum to pay fuel subsidy that mostly went into a few pockets. Stupid.

Since then, Mr Tinubu's administration has slowly but surely steadied the ship, and before our eyes, we are beginning to see results and recovery from what many citizens, including myself, feared was an irreversible situation.

However, and surprisingly, step by step, the CBN has been taking steps that are delivering results before our eyes. Something that Egypt and Argentina who were in a similar situation as Nigeria up till a few months ago have been unable to replicate.

Argentina has gotten worse. Likewise Egypt. Yet, Nigeria's CBN is quietly achieving the unthinkable.

We have not seen this type of result-oriented competence from any previous administration in Nigeria.

This is the most tested government in several decades and one by one they are facing up to the challenges.
