Egalitarian1:
Idiotic comment!
Where were you foolish Soludo when we were suffering the long queues at filing stations, inflation etc?

Na because you want vote buying to continue so as to enable either Atiku or Tinubu win since you are selfishly eyeing presidency and Peter Obi's emergency at the polls with mean outright death of your political career as even your second tenure as Anambra Governor wouldn't be guaranteed let alone presidency!

Selfish politician!

The Obi you're supporting, where has he been in the last 7 years?
After next week, it will be clear to you dummies that Naira swap won't curb vote buying. At best, it's it creates an enabling environment for it.

xelly:
Well, I know that a fool is one that does the same thing over and over and expect different result.

The KOWA woman is not Igbo, just to tell you how we think. If you present Orji Uzor and Okorocha, Igbos will reject them. If you have any wrong done by Peter Obi, show it and stop spreading hate. Ebonyi State Governor is interested in contesting. Can you check his record and transformations in Ebonyi State?

If Abia State Governor still declare interest and he is to contest against Sowore, Sowore will get much votes in Abia State compared to the Governor.

So how did he become their two-term governor in Abia if they'd rather vote Sowore?

greggng:
Some Nigerians are not smart ...adaptation is part of life..the good news is that he has the fund in his account . He can be creative by getting his banking apps or using his atm card to transfer to online apps like opay , kuda or palmpay . He can transfer 100k to those account and call it expenses account . This is how I have been running my life ...get the o line banking app atm or transfer directly to wherever you wanna buy stuff. I went to egbeda market bought some stuff and directly transfer to the market woman account ...I left there to an igbo man food stuff shop ...infact he only collect transfer or pos ...I did the needful.and took my rice and other stuff from there . Coming home I enter a supermarket bought beverages and transfer...

I don't know why someone with 800k will allow himself to suffer cos he can't get cash ...let him be creative

Dey play. With all the monies I have in my various online apps, I was unable to buy common vegetables yesterday because they wouldn't accept transfer.
On a normal day, I don't even keep up to 10k in cash, but at least if we're going cashless, we should be able to get the little cash we need to complement. Don't forget that as of today, no economy in the world is cashless in the real sense. They still use cash for some transactions and it's available when needed.
If cash withdrawal is going to be restricted to 5k daily, fine, make it available.
I repeat, this policy is heading our fragile economy to only one direction, doom!

Danniedpastor:
Not all Yoruba's are bigots... Choke on that.

But all Igbos are? Isn't that why y'all are supporting Obi despite his poor run as Anambra Governor?
I wonder what's bad in been an Ethnicist. If you think Mimiko, who Tinubu helped secured his mandate in Ondo would by any means work for a failed Anambra politician, then be ready for the shock that will hit you from Ondo. We're ready for you guys.
If Obi gets 10% in any Yoruba state, INEC should declare him winner.

I didn't know Duke, Mimiko and co are still Governors and are part of G5.
He even said Mimiko supporting Obi ahead of Tinubu. To what end?

Atiku to come 3rd? You people will learn the hard way. It's just a week ahead.

sslcrypt:
One of the rules of power, never outshine your master. Tinibu committed a canal sin by using money to work his way as the presidential candidate for APC. You think after that primaries that the northern oligarchs will want someone like him in power?
Let's forget the Northern governors supporting him, more than half of them will become politically irrelevant after this years election, so they are fighting desperately to make tinibu their meal ticket.

Just like in the primaries, he'll still win.
If the Northern Oligarchs, who have been holding this nation as ransom, don't want him, then I believe he's doing something right and should be supported. Like him or not, Tinubu is the only person who can bring about the desired changes we desire. Not all these I'll do this and that failed Accidental Messiahs.

SLAP44:
Campaign for Bargo, Tinubu is unknown here

I know you're joking.

yang:
The CBN has the power to determine monetary policy

The President should fire the CBN governor 10 days to election if it thinks otherwise

These state governors have no clue how money market works or about overnight operations or swaps

CBN should resist pressure to print a non optimal amount of currency to circulation,it's evil to impoverish people by printing excess currency not backed by real production.with the attendant exchange rate driven inflation and impoverishement

How does the money market work? Please tell us?
Even an undergraduate student of economics would do better as CBN governor than that unfortunate being called Emefiele.
If you believe those at the helm of affairs in CBN knows anything about economics, with the way our economy has been comatose in the last 7 years, then you need to reevaluate your knowledge of basic economics.

Napata77:
Absolutely. Here is a list of 101 words shared by Yoruba and the ancient Egyptian language.

The words above are used to show that most Yoruban words are identical to the ancient Egyptian.

The words have not changed much. This is an undeniable evidence that Yorubas migrated from Egypt.

Napata77:
Wrong.

''The religious pantheon of the Igbos and the ancient Egyptians share many similar ancestors, many of them bearing identical names.

They shared the sun-god worship of Ra, Chukwu Ra; Egyptians were similarly fetishitic about circumcision, and menstrual periods like the Igbos. Similar hair styles, similar martial arts and self defense schools, similar social structures.

But for now, we will focus on some observed lingusitic similarities that exist between ancient Egyptian language and present day Igbo language, for many Egyptian words yet survive in the Igbo language today. This is a current topical area of research in linguistics and history.

A small list of Ancient Egyptian words which survive in the Igbo language are as follows:

EGYPTIAN | IGBO (Onitsha and Uburu dialects used) KAKA(God) | Ka (greater, superior)
Khu (to kill, death) | Nwu/Gbu (die/to kill)
Em (smell) | Imi/Emi (nose, associated with smell)

Aru (mouth) | Onu (mouth) & kooh/Kwue (to speak)

In- n (negation) nh-n (negation)
Ma (to know) | Ma, Ma-li (to know)
Se (to create) | Ke (to create) & Se (to draw)
Hoo (rejoice) | Goo, ta-Goo (dance, rejoice)
Omijener (deep water) | Ime-me (deep inside)

Wow! These ancient Egyptian words are proper Yoruba words. Like, 98% yoruboid.

PythonPros:
Currently using airtel to type this. We can't make calls, browse or send messages witth MTN.

Are you experiencing the same in your location?

MTN almost bleeped me up today. Thank God for Airtel, na so pesin for miss important meeting. In saner climes, they'll be paying for damages.

But we no wan hear rigging or vote buying INEC announces the results o, since we all agreed that Naira redesign will curb vote buying and selling

melonsgroup:
May what happened to them befall you 10× and may people call it staged

Idiot. Should I be scared of a curse coming from someone whose prayers are rubbish before the Almighty God?
Just provoke me to say one negative word into your life and see if you'll be able to survive the rest of today. Nonentity.

Finestgurlie:
destroying Tinubu politically is a task every patriotic citizen should embark on if you want a better tomorrow.
thunder scatter Tinubu
thunder scatter Tinubu urchins

You want to destroy someone you did not make?
Goodluck on your fruitless endeavor

This could be staged for all I know.
Obi and LP are banking on religious and ethnic sentiments, laced with undue sympathy to win people's heart.
Didn't Obi lie about APC Whatsapp group again, just to gain sympathy?
I stop taking you seriously as a politician once I see you using the pulpit for campaign. That's the height of desperacy for me and I can't trust a desperate person not to do anything.

DaddyFreeze2020:
..

And it might turn these people are exactly those that will the "unexpected".
Most times, public opinions are never right, as in 99.99% of the time.

Don't tell me Obi attended another gathering uninvited, again?

For an institution who should know better about what is called risk analysis, this is sickening.

SecretSpy666:
No need to postpone election. INEC should not allow itself to be used by APC. This will lead to violence. The FG is capable of providing INEC the necessary petrol and cash for the election

So people who needs to travel to vote should go to INEC office to collect cash?

Labor Party should stay one place.

TheOldGods:
Show me the data where the south east are worse in education than the north. What do you mean their son? If Peter Obi is a failure me personally won't even vote for him. There is no way you can look at the three candidates and pick tinubu, tinubu first is very old and won't be able to run this government himself. The only people who will vote for tinubu are old people like him or people who are tribal bigots finish. Alot of youths who are youruba and educated will never ever vote tinubu. What we are looking for is who will end corruption and not because the person is from my tribe or not, since I do not know this person personally what would I gain voting for a failure just cause he is from.my tribe? That's lame

Where did I mention the North being more educated than the East? As far as I know, SS has the highest literacy level, and it's not even up to 80%, so 9 of 10 people in SE are literate do not even suffice.
Peter Obi is a failure based on many evidence which even abound on this same Nairaland.
I've been around long enough to see through all these politicians, so you can't wake one morning and make any of them a Saint.
Tinubu might be old and frail, according to you, but where I come from old is age is synonymous with wisdom, so won't be an issue for me.

TheOldGods:

Take out tribe, religion or sentiment, tinubu cannot win in Se because check Se people are well learned compare to the north. Education in Se east is not the same in the North at all. Out of 10 houses 9 are educated, and there is now way an educated person can vote for tinubu against Peter Obi, all odds are against him there.

9 of 10 people in SE are educated? Not according to the available data.
How's Obi better than Tinubu? And why should the Yorubas leave Tinubu and vote for Obi since Igbos are voting enmasse for their son?

TheOldGods:
Sometimes you people talk without thinking, why do you think obi won't win all SW states, you all think everything is about tribe and religion. People are voting because of alot of factors and tribe is way off it. Number one is apc has already failed full time, that alone cant even make osibanjo win in SW if he is from apc. He needs a new party to even convince people. Peter Obi is definitely winning this election either you believe it now and embrace the good governance coming, or keep living in denial,but don't cause problems or police will take you to kuje after 25th

If that's the case, it's rational enough to project Tinubu to win all the SE states. Everything is not about tribe and religion, right?

SenatePresdo:
Igbos in lagos are not plenty enough to get 25% for Obi?
I don't even want to mention South southerners in lagos.

You'll know the real voting strength of the Igbos and other non-yorubas in Lagos in less than 3 weeks from now, since you assume they'll all vote against APC.

Moh247:




You want to take out 3trillion yet you printed 1.3trillion



.

1.3tr or 300 billion?

SenatePresdo:
Hahaha, it's now obvious that you are not a good political observer.

In 2019, Atiku got 11 million votes, of which 8 million was from southern Nigeria due to the influence of OBI. Atiku lost the North and could only get 3 million from his region.

Peter Obi will beat Atiku in SW, starting from Lagos.
Peter Obi won't get 25% in lagos too, because its barely a year he came into the picture?

25th is almost here.

So it's because of Obi Atiku got 8m votes in South in 2019? Let's wait and see how much vote he'll get for himself, now that he's the main man.
If he gets 25% in Lagos, INEC should declare Obi the overall winner.

SenatePresdo:
So no candidate aside from Tinubu can get 25% in SW?
Do you think SW will vote for An Atiku over obi?

I don't know why you think Obi will get more votes than Atiku in the SW.
I can confidently tell you that Atiku will be the runner up to Tinubu in the SW, not Obi.
I really can't wait for the time to come already.
It sickens me to read what people who don't know the Yorubas thought process analysing how who was almost unknown in the SW less than a year ago would win 30% of the vote cast in the region.
That's assuming all the propaganda, insults, bullying and name calling would work on the Yorubas. I sha don't want to hear Yoruba betrayed us after election.
If Igbos are giving their son block votes in their region, we'll do exactly the same thing.
We'll never sell our own on the altar of "I will do this, I'll do that".
For the sake of emphasis, Obi will not see second place in the SW. You can take that to the bank

SenatePresdo:
Peter Obi will get more than 30 percent in Ekiti.

He won't get 10% in any SW states outside Lagos. You can quote me after election.

masterflowx:
We that are anticipating for a better Nigeria says not to more extension untill after election.

We'll still be here to listen to your cry, cursing Buhari after election.
Anticipating better Nigeria my foot. Shey na today day break.

It won't still make any difference.
