Well....

Its a big shame for the president to feign ignorance of INEC's decision. INEC cannot make decision without the president, only the gullible ones will believe he didn't know about it. He should also claim responsibility and apologise to Nigerians.

APC thinks and behaves like they are the opposition party.

I won't waste my lifetime like you have done to yours.

Anyways, I am one of those who believe in Sowore and may most likely vite for him. Buhari is a no no for me.

Ecstasy9:
I hope you people supporting Atiku won't come here 8months later to wail if he doesn't create 20millions jobs he promised.

We will wait till 2023 and elect another person if he performs below expectations. Power truly belong to the people.

Charmingrascal:
Abdulfatah Ahmed The Governor of Kwara State allowed himself to be used as a puppet by Saraki, even his people of Kwara South have rejected him. Let's see where he will run to now. He decamped from APC to PDP just please Saraki now the Saraki has turned against him.
He will learn the hardway now

Can you say the same about Ambode?

Histrings08:
The Lord will choose for us

Amen and amen. But we need to go out there, vote and defend our votes. God will not come from heaven to choose our leaders.

Meanwhile, lalasticala come and see wonders.

Abfinest007:
no need for that let just retired d old man to daura come on d 16

The old man would have published his asset declaration. This Farooq guy has insiders. I'm sure there are betrayers in Buhari's government just like in GEJ's time.

Forget Onnoghen; Let’s Talk about Buhari’s Asset Declaration Fraud--A THREAD

PMB's asset declaration fraud is more damning than Onnoghen's, yet it is Onnoghen who has been illegally “suspended” and pilloried in the media. In this piece I’ll show you why Buhari is a double-dyed
scammer who should be in jail. First, it was Buhari who voluntarily said he would publicly declare his assets. The Punch of February 20, 2015 reported him to have said: “I pledge to PUBLICLY declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees to publicity declare their
assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment.” However, several months after getting into power, he refused to declare his assets publicly. In the early days of the regime, I frantically reached out to many people in the president’s inner circle with whom I have a
personal relationship and begged them to prevail upon the president to make good his campaign promise. When they weren’t forthcoming, I wrote a column on June 13, 2015 titled “Mishandling of Asset Declaration May Doom Buhari’s Presidency.” I republished it weeks later. The very
first paragraph of the column, which seems pretty prescient in retrospect, read: “Although many of us still nourish the hope that President Buhari’s administration will represent a substantive departure from the blight of the past, Buhari has so far done little to inspire
confidence that he will live up to the hopes we have invested in him. Perhaps the biggest germinal error he has made, which might haunt his administration, is his seeming reluctance to publicly declare his assets, contrary to the promise he made during his campaigns.” After the
column was published a second time, one close aide of the president told me in confidence that Buhari would NEVER publicly declare his assets because it would demystify him. I asked why and he said it's because the man is very wealthy and that his base in the North and his
supporters down South would feel betrayed if they knew how much he’s actually worth. He said Buhari declared close to a billion naira in his asset declaration form and has choice property all over the country worth billions of naira. What was worse, he said, Buhari didn’t even


officially declare everything. That was when it dawned on me that Buhari was a deodorized and carefully packaged scammer. For instance, Buhari routinely received generous donations from foreign governments during previous runs for present. The Saudi Arabian government has given
him the equivalent of up to two billion naira in two election cycles, & he always instructed his personal aide to deposit the money into his personal bank account. The late Muammar Gaddafi also once gave him at least $3 million and he deposited it into his personal bank account.
He was also the sole signatory to the donations that everyday Nigerians made to his campaign through scratch cards between 2014 and 2015. The money was never used for the presidential campaign, and it has not been accounted for up to now. (An old woman in Kebbi State donated her
entire life saving of N1 million that she got from selling kosai (bean cake) and died in penury a year later. Buhari didn’t even acknowledge her death!). Buhari did not declare all these monies in his asset declaration form, yet he had close to a billion naira in cash in his
declaration form that he is hiding from the world. Now, here is where the fraud starts. In December 2014, Buhari had said, “I have at least one million naira in my bank, having paid N5.5 million to pick my form from my party APC. I have around 150 cattle because I am never
comfortable without cows. I have a house each in Kaduna, Kano, and Daura which I borrowed money to build. I never had a foreign account since I finished my courses in the USA, India and the UK. I never owned any property outside Nigeria. Never.” They say a liar must have a good
memory. But Buhari is a bad liar. After so much pressure from many of us, Buhari’s strategists came up with a plan to deceive Nigerians and deflect attention from Buhari’s asset declaration fraud. His spokesman was told to issue an intentionally vague and incomplete “public asset
declaration” that would leave room for plausible deniability in case he is caught. That was why there were no specifics other than unhelpfully broad claims that the president had a house in Abuja (which he earlier said he didn't have during the campaigns), Kano, Kaduna, Daura and
Port Harcourt; some cattle and livestock; “not less than 30 million naira” (how more deceptively vague can you get than that? Recall that a few months earlier he said he had only million naira left in his account!); “a number of cars” (we weren’t told how many); and so on.
Compare Buhari’s "public asset declaration" with the late President Umaru Musa Yar'adua's more transparent, public declaration and the face of Buhari’s fraud will become even more nakedly apparent. Many Nigerians weren’t deceived by the fraud. They asked that he make public a
copy of his declaration like Yar’adua (who didn’t even campaign to publicly declare his assets) did. In response, the president’s spokesperson said, “As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the documents will be released to the Nigerian public and people can see for
themselves.” It’s been more than two years, and the declaration hasn’t been released to the public. What is worse, I have confirmed from friends at the Code of Conduct Bureau that the presidency took away Buhari’s asset declaration form from the place. So, get this: Buhari is
the ONLY public officer whose asset declaration does not exist at the Code of Conduct of Bureau. Of course, it’s because he wants to hide his fraud from scrutiny. This double-dyed fraud becomes even more annoying when you remember what Buhari says when he is asked to publicly
show his asset declaration form as he promised he would. During the one and only media chat he did as president, he challenged journalists to use their skills in “investigative journalism” to find the form. What sort of dumb logic is that? On your own, you promised to publicize
your asset declaration form. Then you took it away from the only place it’s legally supposed to be, and you now challenge journalists to use their investigative skill to find it. You want them to invade your home, hold you at gunpoint, and force you to produce it?
Well, journalists have used the best resources they have to find the form. They invoked the Freedom of Information Act and requested the CCB to release Buhari’s asset declaration form. On September 21, 2016, Code of Conduct Bureau Chairman Sam Saba said d Bureau couldn’t release
Buhari’s asset declaration form because the law that set up the bureau forbids him from making the forms public without Buhari’s consent. That’s why the Bureau also declined requests to release the asset declaration forms of other high-ups in the Buhari regime.

@lalasticala Mynd44

Well done. The election is gonna be close. May the best man win.

tommyken:
Have you all notice that its only the South East that will produce the highest voters percentage difference; (90% to 10%) or(85% to 15%) votes to PDP and APC.
what does it mean? it means if a total of 2.5 million people vote in the 5 state of the South East then Atiku is going home with not less than 2 million votes while Buhari will have 500 thousand votes as the highest he can get from the entire south east region.
Now with this PDP is leading with 2million votes and will know the percentage difference in the Niger delta south-south will be 80%-20%.This means if the total votes from the south-south is 4 million voters then Atiku is going home with at least let's even say 3 million votes at minimum while Buhari will get the remaining 1 million votes at his highest.
This means Atiku is leading Buhari with 5 million votes in the entire South east plus South South.
We all know the percentage difference in the south west will go like 60% to 40% if we want to be generous to the APC and this means if 5 million people votes in the entire south west then PDP will have like 2 million votes due to non indigene which at large in Lagos state plus yorubas who will decide to vote for PDP while APC will go with 3 million vote.
Now this means minus 1 million vote for Atiku but PDP is still leading with 4 million votes in the entire Southern Nigeria as a a whole.
PDP choosing it vice presidency from the South East and party chairman from the south- south is the best decision it took.
Let's move forward to the North which things have dramatically change in favour of PDP in the North Central while The APC winning the North East is sure but with a very low difference now the North west winning percentage difference has also reduce, kano rally should be an eye opener.some hit men like kwankwanso, Lamido,Tambuwal are no longer with Buhari.
In all of this the evidence is clear the very large percentage difference from the south south and south East can't be underrated.its not about having a large voters population but how that large voters percentage vote is split.
Your opinion is welcome but please don't let your emotional outburst makes you result to insult.please reply with fact and rational comment. Thanks

This is exactly what I have been saying. If APC allows a free and fair elections, then Buhari is definitely going back to Daura. North Central and North East is almost gonna be 50/50. So North West will determine what happens. If Buhari can secure the same amount of votes he's been getting over the years, then he will win.

That site is big time scam. I couldn't vote.

saasala:
I have not much to say. This is our own POLL on Nairaland. Let voting begin.

For Muhammadu Buhari, LIKE this Post

In 2015, Buhari won overwhelmingly. Today they say online poll is irrelevant. Hypocrites

andrew444:
This is not news ,juventus has been winning this trophy for the past 7 years .

Not true at all. The last time they won this trophy was 2015. Always double check and don't misinform people.

sampete:
This is about my Elder Sis.

She wanted to get married to a man who was way older than her, he was practically my dad's age mate. My parents and the church refused to okay the marriage. She threatened to kill herself if she wasn't allowed to marry the man. Parents were forced to okay the marriage.

They have been married for years, no kids. Still praying for them.

Your parents eventually gave their consent na. We are talking about parents who refused to give consent no matter what....

Tallesty1:
Obviously because there are too many similar stories with a bad ending.

How many do you know. I know more that ended well.

cnonyechi:
The bible says honour ur father and mother that your days may be long.

I have seen people who went against their parents and some resulted in d death of one of d spouses.

I have also seen people who went against their parents they r very much alive but sooo unhappy.

How will u feel wen u advise ur children and they decide not to listen.

For ur maraige to be sweet and successful both parents need to bless d union

Ma I strongly disagree.

What ever happens to you in life does not depends on parental blessings. Parents should train up their children to be good individuals. The biggest responsibility of any parent is to train their child to be responsible not to choose their life partners. I have seen lots of marriages that crashed with parental blessings, I have seen partners that dies with parental blessings, I have seen barrenness with parental blessings, I have seen retrogression with parental blessings, I have also seen all these negative things happen to those who did not get consent from their parents.

It all depends on fate and the couple

olumyde:
Before creating this topic, I tried to search nairaland to see if there's something like this but I couldn't find. The closest I saw were advices on how to go about things when your parents object to your marital decision.


If you have gotten married without your parents' consent, what was your experience? Can you kindly share, so everyone can learn?

SECOND TRUE LIFE STORY.

Let me first state that the success of every marriage or home has nothing to do with parental consent. It strictly depends on both couple. Otherwise we wouldn't have high rates of divorce today. If a marriage won't last or if there would be an adverse event, it would happen anyway, whether there is parental blessing or not. I can prove it. Again, if it is possible to get the blessings of your parents, please do as this will promote family bonding and unity. However, if it is not possible and you are convinced, damn the consequences (which is largely social) and marry the person you love. Your parents have lived 2/3 of their lives, you are perhaps close to 1/3.

Now to the real life event.....
My friend's parents married without parental consent and they are doing extremely well, one of the most successful families I know. The major issue was tribal. The man was Yoruba while the woman Igbo. The man's parents refused stating all sort of reasons, they first attributed it to God, then they said they visited some prophets and then later said the marriage will not be blessed with children. The guy insisted, and married the girl. The girl's parents also didn't agree. They said she was their only daughter and they wouldn't want her to go into a family that don't appreciate her. Her father was very bitter. They both sat down and decided to go ahead almost with no consent from both sides (little support from the woman's side). When the man's parents found out, they disowned him (maybe not officially, they said they don't want to ever see him again). A lot happened within the period.

The man is a top engineer, the woman a big business woman, they are both close to 70 years and their children are doing well (some are abroad as doctors, engineers and lawyer). Both families eventually reconciled and are in good terms till date. When the man's father was sick, it was my friend's mother that took care of him till he passed on. She became his favourite and he was always praying for her and her children.



My dearest friends, look before you leap. If there is an obvious reason, for instance you went to school up to PhD and you bring home a school cert, your parents may not agree based on that, or perhaps you bring home a known criminal that will endanger you your life, if I were your parent, I won't support it. In the absence of any genuine reason, forget the talk about "what I am seeing". Nobody can see for you, only God can. Pray to him and let him direct your steps. If you are good and meet a good partner, your marriage will blossom with prosperity.

@Olumyde. This topic will always be a controversial one. I strongly believe in parental blessing. However, not all parents mean well for their children, vice versa, otherwise parents wouldn't sell their kids for money or children use their parents for rituals. Some people are damn wicked even to their family members. In such a case, should the lady/guy wait for ever?

I will tell you two true life stories. Firstly, my parents, and then a close family friend's parents.

My grandparents didn't want my mom to marry my dad for reasons best known to them. My mom went ahead without their blessing of any member of her family. She knew she loved the man and that was enough. They tried everything humanly possible to separate them to no avail, they even cursed/abused her (note that they are from same tribe, different village). For over 5 to 10 years, my dad did not step into his in laws house. I wouldn't want to go into so much details. That union is blessed with 3 men and 1 woman, we are all above 30 years and prospering to the glory of God. My dad became the best in law of my maternal grandparents before their demise and the whole family is together and prospering. My mom still says her life would have been miserable if she didn't marry my dad. I wouldn't be typing this today if she wasn't strong willed. They later accepted the bride price several years after they married officially (not cohabiting).

Second story is even more interesting.

omicron:
You are welcome.

I was advising based on the experiences of many people who had similar circumstance as you do now, and also assuming that your visa is multiple entry and still valid.

However, you can mail UKVI if you want. It Won't be an issue, I think.

All the best

Thank you so much @omicron.

Yes, its multiple entry, and valid till June.

justwise:
Do both for the sake of your next renewer and POE

Thanks boss.

OmoBendel24:
You can at least do that in my opinion, to be doubly prepared for future eventualities. Did your visa issuance process take more than the standard time it takes before it got approved? I really don’t see how it is really a fault of yours that you didn’t use it for the intended purpose especially if the application was submitted in the first few days of December week 1 tops. I also think your profile can soften their strictness towards you too, somehow someway....

The application was submitted in the first few days of December. Notification from TLS came a day after our proposed travel date. However when I picked up our passport, I saw that the VISA was approved 10 days before TLS contacted us. If they had contacted us on time, we would have definitely travelled.

Thanks for your response

omicron:
It will not be a problem as your visa is valid at time of the exam. However in your next UK visa application you must explain why you didn't travel anymore with the kids, and how you booked for the exam since visa was valid and how you supported yourself if you stayed longer than you had proposed.

Hmm, you don't think I should at least mail them to let them know my plans have changed.

Thanks for your response.

justwise:
You may not have a smooth entry into the UK because your initial plan has changed considerably

What do you advise, should I send a mail to them, or should I land there with my wife, then stay back while she returns to Nigeria.

@justwise and all the gurus in the house, I need your advise.

My wife and I applied for UK visitors VISA last December, to travel on 26th December 2018. The purpose of the trip was to visit a friend, spend the new year with his family and return on January 7th 2019. However, our VISA wasn't ready until the new year (2nd Jan 2019). We also stated that we will travel with our children who are Americans (but didn't apply for a VISA for them).

I have registered for a professional exams in March and should travel to UK end of February. Is there any need to send a mail to the UK embassy explaining my new purpose of visit and the duration.

If I decide to travel without mailing the consulate, will there be any consequences if I eventually appear alone in London (without my wife and children).

Thank you in anticipation of your response.

Fluctuates

Thanks

Psychodavidovic:
Interest on days gets added on the next available work day.

Lets say you earn 100 naira daily, on Saturday nothing will be added, on Sunday nothing will be added and on monday, 300 will be added.

What about public holidays

Psychodavidovic:
Interest on days gets added on the next available work day.

Lets say you earn 100 naira daily, on Saturday nothing will be added, on Sunday nothing will be added and on monday, 300 will be added.

Thanks.

Is the interest constant or it fluctuates...

Hey guys. I'm new to this money market fund. I have subscribed to IBTC MMF. I noticed my interest only accumulates on work days. Is this the norm. I heard interest should be daily irrespective (including weekend and public holidays).

Experts in the house, please clarify.
