Ndia amaru di ..

Someone that has not even been up to a year in office you are comparing to Peter Obi


Is it not sound foundation Peter Obi laid for APGA the party is riding on till today to be governing Anambra


Na obiano I blame for bringing a desperate man that was irrelevant even under PDP as governorship candidate, then jumped to APGA


No wahala we have seen through the smoke screen.
When the time comes we Anambra citizens will teach him a very sound lesson


When we dealt with the notorious ubas of Chris and Andy


The guy na just moi moi case

He should Get ready for what is he has stored up

Exactly what I said two weeks ago that Buhari and emefiele got the policy right.


I also said that Naira will lose value in the beginning of the policy but will bounce back to its natural value.
And that's what is happening now.


This is not the end. Naira may definitely go back to the 360 rate to the dollar. Although fall in oil revenue will affect that.
But you see 500 rate, Naira must reach that.

Many of these speculators fingers will be burnt beyond repair.

Buhari and emefiele really played them.


If anyone wants to know the havoc currency speculation can cause. Research on 1997 Asian financial crisis.
The crisis that dealt with many Asia Pacific Nations from Japan to South Korea to Singapore to Malaysia etc
The lesson the Asians learnt insulated and saved them during 2008 global financial crisis.

Many Nigerian speculators because of ignorance had no clue.

I will laugh at there calamity. Very foolish ignorant men that have messed this country up.

casualobserver:
60 years of independence, 60 years of Nigerian universities and engineers and we are still relying on foreigners to design and build roads? Ordinary Roads!!!!

And how many Nigerian universities are serious on research and development?

Zilch with the exception of covenant university

There is totally no innovation or creativity initiatives in our university system because it's been driven by the same thing worrying our rulers obsolete, backward and outdated thinking

And that's why Africa is in the backwaters of development.
A very primitive continent.

ecolime:
Nice one

I guess it for them to supervise direct-labour projects in the state I guess.

This is wonderful even though I believe trainings like this should be carried out by local engineering companies & our universities. I don't know what faculty members are being paid for if they can't transfer paper knowledge to industry needs.

I just hope urchins won't turn this wonderful news into a Peter Obi bashing thread.

Anything Anambra gives them serious hard Ons.

Awon werey omo.

But the Israelis do it better

So training our local operators is Best

Most of these our local institutions don't really know much about trainings, research and development

So the governor got it right

Transfer of technology is the surest pathway for development for Africans

babaolofin:
I am playing tribal card because I told you the truth. You are a small boy. You are called Nyanmiri by the core Hausa Fulani. You can live in the North as Nyanmiri. I lived in the North before you and know what is happening more than you and all your elders will ever know.
By providence, late 1998, as a very young man, I met Mallam Hakeem Baba Ahmed at INEC, Abuja when he was the Executive Secretary of INEC under Gen Abdulsalam Abubakar. Just because of PDP Primary, the IBOS blackmailed, assaulted and insulted Obasanjo. They heated up the polity and almost turned Nigeria upsidedown. Mallam Hakeem Baba Ahmed can still recall that period. I will stop here.

You are a fool and live among the fools in the North. The core Northerners are very intelligent. You have woken up to the fact that Obi is not in the race and prays for Atiku to win. Atiku cannot win because the North want to see what Nyanmiri will do.

In 2014 / 2015 campaign warfare, Fani Kayode said Lai Muhammed wears pampers and that Tinubu has mouth odours. The IBOS turned it to their National Anthem. Now that Lai Mohammed is not involved in the power struggle, he does not wear pampers again, it is Tinubu that now wears the pampers. See foolishness. Do you think Hausa and Fulani will join you on this foolish journey? Atiku, Dino, Dele Momodu, and Debo and PDP team can never join you on this your propaganda pampers journey. Fani Kayode started it, he never knew IBOS will take it to another level.

You are a tribal rabid dog

Old man like you at your age you are still galavanting on the altar of tribal bigotry

The Hausa Fulani will leave there own to vote Tinubu

You are just dreaming

By the time results come out in February 2023 we will see you go cry


All the hogwash you wrote up there are the figment of your imagination not true

Between you and igbos who are more tribal bigots?

In my write up I never put anything on tribal bigotry. But you turned it to tribal bigotry.

Coming from an old man like you. Shame no dey catch you.

babaolofin:
So the Northerners are just hearing about an event of 1993 after June 12 election annulment when the battle for democracy was hot.

Which one is collateral damage? You don't understand Nigeria. IBOS cannot indict a Yoruba man before Hausa / Fulani people. They know there is bitterness, anger and hatred of the IBOS towards Yorubas.

Atiku as an elder statesman cannot use blackmail and assault against Tinubu. I have seen twenty different edited version of this document and they are all from IBOS. Why?

They fought Wole Soyinka, Abiola, Obasanjo and now Tinubu. Even in death, Abiola is victorious. Wole Soyinka is still standing strong, Obasanjo still strong while their Challengers are forgotten. Tinubu will rule and there is nothing you can do.

You are the one playing tribal card

I live in the North

I know how they think

Do you even know what they call Tinubu

Baba Pampers

Atiku will get majority of Northern votes

If it was Buhari he has no comparison
But once Buhari is out of question
Atiku is more favourably disposed to Northerners

Tinubu is not more of a better Muslim than Atiku
So it favours Atiku


February go shock many of you

Ofemannnu:
No matter how much you Obi-dents cry,Tinubu is the next president of Nigeria in 2023.

Ask Obasanjo about Atiku and you will know that Atiku is Dead On Arrival.Ask Obasanjo.

Let me see how he will convince Northerners who don't play with integrity, by the time this message spreads to them


Northerners no dey use eye play with integrity
That's how Buhari sold himself to them


This one na very big collateral damage

Gboom:
You guys are fond of castigating Tinubu even the matter on that doesn't concern him.
If you are thinking that money don't play a major role in Nigeria politics anymore wait and see before the election day and thereafter.

Mind you, don't fool yaself with obi's slogan of I no dey shishi but he is opening coded NGO accounts for his gullible followers like you to fund his campaign

But Obis supporters are funding his campaign from there pocket

Like from this report Obis billboard and poster full Akwa ibom while Atikus is no where to be found

Sponsoring from there pockets will undermine the other two money bags of Tinubu and Atiku because of economic instability present now

There is money crunch coupled with the CBN new money policy

It will affect them very very well


So Obi is on the safe side as his supporters are funding from there pocket
Never heard before in Nigerian politics

idamokoemmanuel:
The South South and South East may give Atiku same treatment Jonathan received in the North that year

The two regions vote as a block

lhordspy:
Lol.

Robert Greene in 48 law of Power stated in the 16th law that:

"The more you're seen and heard from after a certain point, the more you cheapen your brand. People will lose interest and respect for you. But if you make yourself scarce for a while, you'll renew people's respect and appreciation."

It is Peter obi i pity the most. If you people can recall like few months ago. I stated on this forum how Peter will ended humiliated, insulted and embarassed if he continued on the attention seeking campaign of his, jumping from one media to media, selling himself cheap - all in a bid to invoke public sympathy. I was vindicated and my thought was justfied after what happened yesterday during the debate. It was more of a 'wetin your eyes dey find, na im your eyes go see'.

The thing is that in Nigeria Political world, public sympathy can never translate to votes. The strategies, the plans and the tactics deployed matters. Reason why you see a certain Asiwaju Jagaban crossing the lenght and breadth of this country seeking endorsements with real voters not going after validations through a debate, from people who will be sitting in front of same TV throughout the day of election. About 70% of the registered voters were not even aware that any debate took place. It shows the irrelevance the comedy show called debate holds in voters influence.

Peter Obi have alot of things to learn politically, so is his ignorant supporters. They both share same amateurish trait not worthy of a player in a Nigeria political contest.

Atiku is finally getting the point, he is finally coming into contact with reality on ground. Tinubu' surely leads, others follows. Ask around and enquire more what Asiwaju means - He is the leader of men. And leaders dont chase winning, they only do everything possible never to lose.

What withdraws, what becomes scarce, suddenly seems to deserve our respect and honor. What stays too long, inundating us with its presence, makes us disdain it.

Politics 101 , zombiedients una go learn by force.

You are ranting

Peter Obi still has an ace over Tinubu

Peter Obi have South East, South South, North Central
Even for Tinubu South West Peter Obi will still get substantial votes running into millions

He will still get sympathetic votes from the core North of North West and East

Atiku has North West and East in his bags

So where does Tinubu have

Even his South West is not fully guaranteed 100%

You guys will just be making noise


By February we will know how far

After the horror APC unleashed on Nigerians


This can only happen in a country where people don't ask questions


They are not shameful at all

onatisi:
These people don't know that Nigeria is gradually moving beyond the level of governors determining election results . If bvas works well and the police do their job , the masses and people will vote for whosoever they like NOT WHO THEIR GOVERNORS LIKE

And the masses will vote for Atiku abi?

No matter what

They are still influential

And they still have the ear of the masses

Either Tinubu or Obi will benefit from them or they may split it Makinde and Wike are tilting towards Tinubu

While ortom ugwuanyi and ikpeazu are tilting towards Obi

But for Atiku nothing for am

That one concern them

Well God the owner of life knows how to level everything

Rich oh poor oh all na vanity

Where Alikos brother day today

Even all the money could not save him

A point came they flew him back from overseas hospital with air ambulance

The doctors could not do anything again

They brought him back and switched of the life support machine before his mother, brother and children

God is still the greatest simple

Danisaint112:
So you think Satan gives for free. He might have been asked to sacrifice him to retain his fame and wealth. That's cultism for you.

You believe Davido and his likes are into cultism yet you refuse to believe such could occur. You are the real ignorant person here.

Again I'm not going to run into conclusion.

But one more thing If you know nothing about spiritism which is deep you keep shut.

Not that

This is more of enemies attack

If one don't protect his own
The enemy will strike

Things are not just natural like people see it


One must be strong or you are finished

Danisaint112:
Ok let them remain there first.

Modified: Something is not just right here. I don't want to believe the Dad himself has a hand in this but being that the boy died same way Dbanj son died in 2018 anything is possible.

DBanj introduced the swimming pool to his son by walking past the pool with him,
Few days later DBanj travelled to the US,
The next day boom the son drowned and died.

In davido's case;
He taught this son how to swim,
Few days later he traveled for a show or whatever,
Boom the little kid drowned.

Why is it that they are not always around when it happens?

Like I don't want to be over thinking things but these people are not men of God and even some of the people we know as men of God (GO's) soil their hands in evil.

This format is too obvious to be a coincidence. But again I won't to draw my conclusions yet.

When I saw the news of him teaching his son how to swim I was like Davido do not use your child for ritual oo abeg, don't kill your child. I don't know where that came from but that's what came out of my mouth immediately.

Truth is if the Child died a Natural Death, the truth will be revealed someday otherwise the culprit or those responsible will definitely pay for this in someway. The truth will definitely come out someday.

See fine boy this people just killed for me. Just negodu!

My own was this boy was fine and very cute

A special child God gave them

How this thing happened is still beyond belief

In a big house with 9 people, including security

How did the boy just leave without being unoticed



It's very very very heart breaking

omonnakoda:
Honestly I am surprised are you pretending or you just arrived Nigeria? A country where policemen rob citizens at gunpoint?
I can tell you the only consideration here is the contract to print the money and the profit to me made potentially laundering dodgy cash NOT national interest

Honestly I am not pretending

Just that I never thought that these men can be degenarted like that.

I know they are corrupt but it's just that they will shortchange same policy they put in place

Anyway I am learning more more everyday

omonnakoda:
You are not the only one capable of deep thinking or critical analyses and the fact that people disagree with you does not mean they do not think deep or critically or that somehow your own thinking is superior. Agreeing with you is not the test of critical thinking

I don't know how old you are but this thing has been done twice in the past in living memory

The first time was during the Biafra war to target Biafra

At that time it was kept top secret by Awolowo till the last minute at that time Buhari would have been a Captain or Major so he would have witnessed how successful it was. It was successful mainly because it was targeting notes trapped in Biafra and there was no civilian movement from Biafra into Nigeria

So Buhari repeated the same thing in 1984 along with his policy of getting soldiers to break open stores and sell goods at giveaway prices because the traders were "hoarding" according to Buhari
This time the reason for the change was to target politicians who had looted. Needless to say it did not work

It is like a free kick trick or format that only works once. Buhari in his mindset of crude solutions does not understand why the policy worked in the 1960s and why it will not work now

The reason is simple.

It is Nigerians that will operate the policy and even inside Buhari's family are those who will sabotage it or exploit it for personal gain

In 1984 during the change The Emir of Gwandu flew into MMA with 53 suitcases. His son was Buhari's ADC
They were not inspected. Abubakar Atiku was the Customs boss at the airport
The black market at Bristol Hotel in Lagos did not close for one day.

Now the CBN is telling us that 3 Trillion in unbanked, we are also told that onlu 40% of Nigerians in rural areas have bank account. I guess it is even lower in the north

We are told this policy also targets kidnappers. The question is how much of that 3 trillion is in the hands of kidnappers?

For 3 months anyone with stacks of cash has advance notice to
1, Buy Gold, dollars, cows, guns, bullets or other fungible assets.
2. Transfer cash to those who can launder it for a fraction of its value. This is where corruption comes into it.
3, This government has a reputation for not checking corruption. and it is very easy for corrupt officials in commercial banks or the CBN to launder cash and give it legitimacy

Yes Buhari likes the idea of a top secret mission such as Awolowo deployed but that was medicine for a different illness . It does not work for everything and Nigeria is just too corrupt for that to work
Even state governments can bring out cash from nowhere on grounds of "security vote"

Those people closest to Buhari personally are not clean

Maybe I may not understand how deeply corrupt those around Buhari and politicians can be.

Which can mess up the whole policy

That means that they should be terribly dishonest to give with one hand and take with another hand.


Then it's shocking that these kind of things happen, and maybe the reason the country is not moving forward


And I can't vouch for them


So I agree with your summation


But honestly then things don really scatter be that


Finally when do you think we begin to get honest persons in high places?

Or is it that our case has been finally sealed?

baralatie:
And you think the dollar will not depreciate again?

Read up my reply again

CBN is saving Naira from complete collapse

If it's not mitigated

Naira will be driven down to 1500 or 2000 by May 2023
Which will be worse off

But mopping up excess liquidity in the system will stabilize the Naira because the Naira and dollar in the market will be in equilibrium


So it will deppreciate a bit then once the policy takes place and equilibrium is in place
Naira will naturally appreciate to a comfortable position


So the formulators of the policy know what they are doing:

Saving Naira from free uncomfortable fall which will be completely dangerous for Nigerian economy and her citizens

baralatie:
Do you know that the cbn injects fresh funds to stabilize the naira

What CBN does is selling the dollar to stabilize the Naira from depreciation
Because if the dollar is scarce Naira will deprecate as a result of plenty Naira chasing the dollar which is happening now

That's why they maintaed the 350 range before it deprecated to 500 then now down to 750 to 800 as a result of federal government not having good Revenue accruing from dollars.
Crude oil sales which is major foreign exchange earner is down because of the oil theft and sundry


In some other countries they allow a free floating of there currency to the dollar.
CBN is not allowing that for Naira


While some others peg there currency to the dollar example China. If China allows floating there currency will appreciate so much it will make there goods expensive in the international markets since they are a very topexporting nation and high earner of foreign currency


That's why Obama during his presidency tackled China to stop pegging there currency and allow competition in International markets by allowing there money to flow with there economic boom


Why CBN introduced this new policy is that it will mop up excess liquidity in the system and fewer Naira will chase dollar so Naira will begin to appreciate again

Most of these bad guys were buying up the few dollars in the system causing the volatile depreciation of the Naira

So it's a good policy to check the bad guys because if left Naira may deprecate to 1500 or even 2000 to a dollar

onuman:
Go and read the relationship between Nigeria's CB gov and Minister of Finance.
Stop polluting the space with your imagination.

For someone that goofed ignorantly that CBN is under the ministry of finance

I don't have time for you

Go and learn first before coming online to disseminate ignorance

baralatie:
So you know it will hit the naira?
So what exactly do you mean that it will hit the naira?

When a new policy like this is introduced it will bring shock to the system

But with time when the system gets used to it, stability comes in so Naira losing value is expected

But by the time everything stabilizes Naira will appreciate

So that's the norm

You think CBN never expected Naira depreciation. They did, but they actually have there Target.

One of the major reasons Naira lost value was because of the amount of money out of the bank hands. 3 trillion was introduced but almost 2.8 were out of the banking system

So there moping up the money will stabilize the system

Like I said in my mention
Politicians are the major cause of this problem

And it will hit them below the belt

Buhari and emefiele really played them and kept the secret


For a whole Minister of finance to have made the statement she made means that it has shocked even the political interests she represent

It was a knock out punch from Buhari and emefiele

I have been his number one critic
But for this one he got it spot on

emmy512:
They got it spot on
One of the few good things he has done.

It'll be the cap on his reign as presido in history books.

Exactly spot on

In the beginning it will hit Naira but by the time the policy gets implemented Naira will definitely appreciate

The way many of these politicians abuse Naira is terrible.
It's not done like that in many countries in the world

Carrying huge amount of money around

It's insane

So the government did the right thing
Let me see how they will beat this one

onuman:
CBN governor is under the control of the Finance Minister. Go and verify.

Stop saying what you don't know

In economy Central Bank and Ministry of finance are independent entities

The central bank focuses on monetary policies, all issues concerning money, banks and all other money issue

The ministry of finance focused on fiscal policies, which includes budgeting, and how government spend there money

They are two different entities all over the world

In the US the central bank governor is federal reserve chairman while the minister of finance is the treasury secretary and they do same role independent of each other

emmy512:
Thanks for this explanation,
I've tried to explain this thing to people that it's a big trap for everyone involved.

I'll use your explanation next time

The issue is that many of these people don't have critical and analytical thinking

Many don't think deep

Infact this policy CBN holds everyone of them by the balls

Because they are completely replacing old currency

So simply monitoring every money to be released
And placing a cap on the amount to be given each individual and company
Has already controlled the situation

Another thing for a whole Minister of finance to come out and be saying what she was saying

You will understand that this policy really caught all of them unawares

Buhari and emefiele really played all of them
A knock out punch

It was a closed tight kept secret

I believe they got the policy right
Naira will be hit
But with time when everything stabilizes it will later appreciate

Penguin2:
Exactly my point.

Some people are arguing that those with large amount of cash stashed at home might want to spend it buying real estate.

But how can I have a property I’m selling for 150million and you want to pay in cash? So na me go come go deposit 150million cash for bank make EFCC catch me?

Honestly they are not deep thinkers

They think it will be an easy fix

Ventura1:
Everybody will be weary of huge transaction in cash, it may be questioned. You want to buy property worth 70m, you now request to pay in cash. When we have some restrictions on cash transactions.

The thing na very big trap
The property seller, even the BDC will still want to Lodge the money in the bank

That's where CBN will lay trap and catch them

Even the corrupt bankers
are all under this trap

The CBN knows the amount every bank have
They knew that over 2.7 trillions were out of the banks hands

So any banker that does anyhow will be caught

Even with the fall of Naira
If CBN handle this excrecise well. Naira will later appreciate

There is this saying that power is nothing without control

So the CBN is bringing the control now and will catch every abuser

4teenblaq:
You dey mind that fool.. Voters turn out next year will be very terrific so much that total votes would be amounting to 50 million votes.

Guess who will this favour? You guess is as good as mine.

I got my PVC since 2018, I never planned to use it to vote, I only have it because that time I wanted to use it to open a bank account. I didn't vote in 2019, because I didn't see anybody reasonable to vote for. But now, the story has changed, I have cursed myself if I don't vote next year.

Same thing with me

Have had my PVC since 2011
Never voted before

But you see this election
I am preaching to everyone, make sure you vote

Me I will vote

Guess who my PVC is for:

Obidient

Many of this people will be shocked on February election

Obi might end up getting 60 million votes

They will be completely shocked
