Atiku's petition is being bloodied as I type.

How can you approach the Tribunal without clear cut evidence. The Tribunal Judge was so clear and pointed out the loopholes in their petition.

For instance, Atiku claimed his votes were reduced without citing exact number of votes that were reduced and the pooling booth it took place.
The tribunal said it was too generic and evasive and lacks substance.

If you're a Muslim and you carry Islam on your head like Gala , know that in Dubai that's even more Islamic than you in Nigeria named one of there mosque after Mary the mother of Jesus .

So calm down and tolerate other people with different faith.

Sending kids to holiday lessons makes no sense.

Most of you will make your kids go to school till they become useless. You took them to school at age 3 and abandon them there. During long vacation you still send them to school. To do what?

Can't you spend time to bond with your kids? What exactly are they going to achieve in school during vacation? Vacation lesson only favour school owners, not you. Allow kids rest for God's sake.

If you should engage kids during long vacation then teach them skills. Enrol your kids in centres that they can learn practical computer usage, coding, programming, painting and decoration, catering, musical instruments. Let them learn martial art, how to shot guns, how to wrestle. Teach them something beyond pure academics.

If a school should organize long vacation class then it should gear towards extra curricula activities - debate, modelling, music concert, science fair, mini project. How would you call kids back to school during holiday to learn Math, English, Chemistry, Social studies, accounting, by same teachers that taught them during school period. What is the difference? If these teachers knew what to teach why didn't they do it during normal school session.

Education is beyond memorizing facts. Give your kids opportunity to develop and be better prepare for life.

A time Nigeria was under the tyranny of Abacha, witnessed economic downturn and we children of teachers could hardly eat and our parents pay house rent.

Nig suddenly won the Olympic soccer gold and it seems we have all been fed by the cup. The joy of winning temporarily united the nation alongside the Abacha junta.

Best ever football team Nigeria ever produced

STOP TALKING RUBBISH.

WHAT ‘ARAB CIVILISATION’?

What makes you think that it wasn’t Arabs who learnt from Africans?

Arabs are a very recently established race, compared to Africans, and can never be credited with ANY African achievements or civilisation.

Just leave that garbage out of this thread.

What you see in the north is TRADITIONAL HAUSA ARCHITECTURE, and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Arabs.

If it looks like Arab architecture, it is because the Arabs learnt from the ancient Nubians and Kushites, who are related to the northern Nigerians.

Rossikk:
This is the entrance to the palace of the Emir of Kano, and it was built in the 16th century, 400 years before British colonisation.

Look how tall the building is.

Look at the size of the woman compared to the building’s height.

That is pretty advanced civil engineering if you ask me.

And somebody has the guts to say that white people brought civilisation to us?

Seems like we were pretty CIVILISED long before they came!

Tinubu appoints Special Investigator to probe CBN
The appointment is with immediate effect and Mr Obazee is to report directly to the President.
ByTemidayo Akinboyo July 30, 2023


President Bola Tinubu has appointed Jim Obazee as a Special Investigator to probe the activities of the Central Bank of Nigeria and other Related Entities.

In a letter dated 28 July, seen by PREMIUM TIMES, Mr Tinubu said the appointment of Mr Obazee, relying on the fundamental objective set forth in Section 15(5) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria(as amended), was in furtherance of his administration’s anti-corruption fight.

The appointment is with immediate effect and Mr Obazee is to report directly to the President.

According to the letter signed by the president, the full terms of Mr Obazee’s engagement as a special investigator will be communicated to him in due course.

Mr Obazee is a former chief executive officer of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria (FRCN).

Specific directives
President Tinubu specifically directed Mr Obazee to take immediate steps to ensure the strengthening and probity of key Government Business Entities and block leakages in the CBN and related GBEs.

He also directed the special investigator to provide a comprehensive report on public wealth currently in the hands of corrupt individuals and establishments (whether private or public).

Also, the president directed Mr Obazee to investigate the CBN and related entities using a suitably experienced, competent and capable team and to work with relevant security and anti-corruption agencies to deliver on the assignment.

Mr Obazee is expected to brief the president weekly on the progress being made concerning the assignment.

In the letter, President Tinubu directed Mr Obazee’s attention to his directive to suspend the CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele, on 9 June.
The suspended CBN boss was arrested in his Lagos home by operatives of the State Security Service (SSS) a day after his suspension by Mr Tinubu. He was then flown to Abuja.
The SSS is prosecuting him for possession of an unregistered firearm and the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail last week.

The SSS, shortly after the bail was granted, re-arrested him on the court premises leading to an altercation between some officers of the security service and that of the Nigerian Correctional Centre who attempted to whisk him away to their custody.

The secret service is yet to publicly state the reason Mr Emefiele is still being detained despite being granted bail by the court.

The forex reform of President Bola Tinubu is seen to be having a positive impact on inflow of remittance into the country.

The reform aims to address the challenges of foreign exchange by floating the Naira, allowing market forces to determine the exchange rate.

Many Nigerian big firms have since then launched and partnered initiatives that now allow Nigerians and Africans abroad to seamlessly bring and pay money back to the country.

According to a Twitter user identified as AItalkspace,” Remittances and international payments have kinda received a boost in Nigeria after the exchange rate changes from a few weeks ago. Flutterwave now supports international tuition payments in naira, Paga just announced international payouts in naira, and Access Bank just partnered with Remitly.”

Access Bank and Remitly

Access Bank’s partnership with Remitly, now allows customers to receive and deposit cash in Dollars in all access bank branches.

Remitly is an American online remittance service based in Seattle, United States that offers international money transfers to over 135 countries.

According to Access Bank, the transactions will be available to both account and non-account holders requiring only a valid ID for dollar pickups. The bank stated that an instant domiciliary account is opened up on receipt of remittance payment.

Tuition by Flutterwave

Tuition launched by Flutterwave now enables Nigerians and Africans studying overseas to pay their school fees in any part of the world seamlessly and in time using localised currencies and local payment methods.

” We are dedicated to bridging the gap between African students and inadequate banking infrastructures, fraud, high exchange rates, and many more.

“Pay local, study global,” Flutterwave stated

Paga

Paga has declared openly that it is available for businesses from any remittance company interested in local partnerships.

Tayo Oviosu, chief executive officer of Paga disclosed this on his official Twitter handle welcoming every interested partnership.

“Nigerians can now receive remittances in Naira.

“Paga is wide open for business for any remittance company looking for a local partner.

“Remittances can be delivered to any phone number or financial institution with great reliability,” Oviosu tweeted.

Meanwhile, many companies have also backed the president’s forex policy reform since it was signed, because of the ease of operation, BusinessDay has earlier reported.

Sunil Bharti Mittal, chairman of Bharti Airtel Limited during his recent visit to Nigeria applauded the president for addressing the challenges of foreign exchange by floating the Naira, allowing market forces to determine the exchange rate.

He said the lack of easy access to forex has remained a difficult challenge for investors over the years.

“One of the key changes that his excellency has made in the first few days of his tenure has been making Naira free float unto the market, making the market decide,” Mittal said.

According to him, “One of the biggest problems for foreign investors in Nigeria for many years has been the lack of easy availability of forex, where foreign investors who have spent billions of dollars do not mind paying whatever the market rate is as the market must decide but to be prevented from importing critical infrastructure equipment from our partners like IBM and other software agencies, making it extremely difficult for a company like Airtel which must be the case with others as well.”

Other investors in the country have also cheered the federal government’s move to address forex challenges through the reform.
