Threads like this goes against Nairaland rule 16.

Anyway, Nairaland rules, are for Nairaland masses. Not for lalasticlala and their team

Is Bitcoin a legal tender?

99% buy Bitcoin, with the hope of it appreciating. Nothing more.
From what I can observe, some persons are manipulating this thing.

Also, we now have too many cryptocurrency. That's code red.

2023: Debunking The Propaganda That Southern Candidate Will Lose In The North Under PDP Platform

By Tonye Barcanista

Nigeria is made of 36 states with the north and south each having 19 and 17 states respectively. The north also has FCT as added advantage in the equation.

In 2015, there was shift in power to the north when President Goodluck Jonathan (as then was) from Bayelsa state of Peoples Democratic Party suffered a historic defeat to General Muhammadu Buhari RTD of All Progressive Congress from Katsina state. Buhari assumed office as President on 29th May, 2015.

By May 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to conclude his 8 year presidential double terms, and the popular expectation, especially of southern extraction, is that the next president of the country in 2023 should come from the region.

Should the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, accede the popular demand for the southern part of the country to produce the next President of Nigeria in 2023, the party will be one leg into the Presidential Villa in 2023 even before the election day because the south, which is the party's stronghold is guaranteed of giving block votes to their "son".

Contrary to concern of some stakeholders, which is fuelled by sections of the media, that the "north" will not vote for any candidate from the south under PDP, facts on ground show that a candidate from southern extraction is guaranteed to enjoy support in the entire Northcentral except Niger state, some parts of Northeast and Southern Kaduna part of Northwest. This is because the north, which is made of 19 states and FCT, is neither politically homogenous nor do they vote in same direction in any President contest.

NORTHCENTRAL
Since the return of democracy in 1999, all the six the states in the north central except Niger state have always voted in similar political direction. Specifically, Kwara, Kogi, Benue, Plateau, and Nasarawa states alongside FCT have always been aligned with candidates of PDP in Presidential elections.

In fact, in the 2003 and 2011 elections, these states resisted General Muhammadu Buhari movement and preferred southerners Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Dr Goodluck Jonathan from Ogun and Bayelsa states respectively. In 2007 these states, like other states in the south, supported Umaru Musa Yar'adua against Muhammadu Buhari to actualise shift of power to the north after Obasanjo's term.

The 2015 election was the first time since 1999 that these Northcentral states voted against a PDP candidate due to the Boko Haram insurgency and propaganda that General Buhari of All Progressive Congress was coming with his military might to nip it to the bud. Sadly, Buhari, as president, only succeeded in worsening the woes of Northcentral people with rising spate of terrorism (banditry), Fulani herdsmen brigandage and ethnic cleansing of Indigenous tribes.

In 2023, I see no reason these Northcentral states (save Niger state) will not vote en-mass for Southern candidate under PDP platform going by their electoral tradition.

NORTHEAST:
The voting pattern of the six (6) states of Northeast, like other parts of the north, is heavily influenced by religious bias.

Areas like Taraba state, 60% Adamawa, Southern Gombe, Southern Bauchi and Southern Borno areas usually align with choices of electorates from the southern part of the country in any presidential election due to religion. In fact, they display strong preference for someone of Christian religion.

In Adamawa state, PDP has only lost Adamawa state on two occasions in any Presidential election since 1999, and that was when Musa Yar'adua (2007) and Goodluck Jonathan (2015) were flag bearers. Furthermore, Demsa, Ganye, Gayuk, Jada, Mayo-Belwa, Numan, Sheleng, Tungo, Lamurde LGAs in Adamawa south, Yola North, Yola South, Fufore, Girei and Gombi LGAs in Adamawa central, and Madagali and Michika in Adamawa North have always shown preference for Christian candidates from the southern part of Nigeria as witnessed in 2003, 2011 and even 2015 Presidential election. In 2011, Jonathan, without the support of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, gave Buhari a resounding defeat in Adamawa state with 508,314 votes over 344,526 gotten by Buhari.

In Taraba state, not even the "Sai Baba" wave of 2015 could swing the state away from Goodluck Jonathan of PDP despite the Boko Haram insurgency. Taraba is one state that any candidate from Southern extraction is guaranteed of popular votes in any Presidential election.

In Gombe state, Katunga, Shungum, Billiri and Banaga local government areas are solid PDP stronghold and sure bet for a southern Christian candidate due to religious factor. This is in addition to other seven (7) local government areas where 30-35% are almost guaranteed for the southern PDP candidate. In this state, PDP is guaranteed a minimum 35-40% votes in Gombe state.

While states like Yobe, Bauchi and Borno may not be favorable to southern candidate of Christian religion due to religious influence, PDP is almost guaranteed of 25% valid votes.

NORTHWEST
Northwest Nigeria is likely the only geopolitical zone that may not be favorable to voting for candidate of the south.

Traditionally, all seven states in the Northwest usually tilt towards Muhammadu Buhari direction. Chief Obasanjo and Dr Goodluck Jonathan as incumbent Presidents fall short in this zone.

However there is respite for the PDP in Kaduna state. This is because areas such as Sanga, Zangon Kataf, Kaura, Kauru, Kachia, Jaba, Jema'a, Kajuru, Chikun and Kaduna South local government areas are sure bankers for PDP due to the predominant Christians in these areas. Historically, these areas have strong bias for Christian candidates. In 2015, despite the APC wave in the entire northwest, these areas massively supported President Jonathan, and gave PDP its only Senator in the entire zone. The areas make up about 49-52% votes of Kaduna state.

Going by the aforementioned facts, it will be foolhardy for anyone to continue to hold that presidential candidate from the south will not deliver victory to PDP in any part of northern Nigeria. On the contrary, PDP will find it challenging in 2023 should it present a candidate from the north to succeed incumbent President Buhari, a northerner himself.

Conclusively, the demand for the National Zoning Committee of PDP to zone the Presidential ticket of PDP to the south is a right step in the right direction.

Any election analysis that doesn't factor Rigging, is a waste of time.


Now go back , think and write another piece.

It doesn't matter. After the election, positiobs can be renegotiated.

It's also an honor since that is the last time she's going to known and called by her family name (under ideal situation).

This is not too much considering that a woman is practically giving up herself to be under a man. She's giving up her name to take yours. Give her the honor of bearing that name for the last time on they great day by coming first!

Is it not what she fasted and prayed for?

Eriokanmi:
It's not the truth. How many bdcs have time to visit abokifx before fixing rates, do the majority of them even understand what it means? FYI, I visit abokifx.com just to update myself too. By the time I visit the bdcs in Ikeja, the rates aren't always the same. Always a diff of up to 3 usd higher than abokifx rates. Yet, go to the CBN and check their rates.They'd tell you that autonomous rates are 505naira to 1 usd for instance whereas, bdcs are fixing their rate at between 510naira and 515 naira. Instead of bscs going to abokifx, it's the other way round. Abokifx gets their rates by sampling opinions from bdcs around. The CBN is just jittery because they know the rates they post on their website aren't realistic. They're just deceiving themselves.

I expect them to go after terror sponsors instead if chasing shadows. They know them. What is the CBN governor afraid of ?

This is not the issue of "terror sponsors"

The forex market is being manipulated by unscrupulous elements to the detriment of or economy.

Eriokanmi:
Useless fool.After UAE government did his job for him, he came out chasing shadows. I wish I was the founder of abokifx, I'd have sued them for 20bn naira for the unfounded and baseless allegations. They felt jittery the way aboki fx is exposing them to the outside world. CBN would post a particular but unrealistic autonimous rates on their website meanwhile when you go to ikeja to trade in forex at aboki offices, what you get is totally different and that's place where aboki fx gets his facts from , before posting them on his website .

I was expecting emefeile to name those buying amunitions with forex who are mainly members of the apc , just same way the UAE govt assisted him to do what he has refused to do out of fear , he was rather chasing shadows. I'd have become billions richer today, if I were aboki fx founder. My lawyers too would have been smiling by now. Iranu

Don't you think it's the other way?

The BDCs change prices based on what is on Aboki fx.

That's the truth.

Ade3131:
You guys need to know that BDCs are licensed operators and not just some scaliwag dealers. Some banks have BDC registered as subsidiaries....

I need to understand the rationale for the ban of AbokiFX b'cuz we're yet to hear his real offence. Was it that he now buys and sells FX illegally?

Or his offence is that he owns a platform that reports the value of Naira against foreign currencies on the parallel market?

I know the government will be sued again and as usual, the government will be made to pay for damages.

How does he get those figures he posts online. This has formed the basis of forex trading.

So if Aboki fx says it's 600nsira, everyone will sell at that price.

Any report that doesn't talk about the source of COVID-19 and how to strongly and decisively deal with the source, so that it doesn't happen again, its just delusions.


So they will release delta variant and then gamma or beta variant.


Tell the world what happened. If a virus could cause such devastation in the world and the source is not questioned, then it's a shame.

Sirjamo:
If PDP is not interested in giving Igbo their presidential ticket, is it APC that will be interested?



Majority Igbo will Articulate in 2023, they love voting for Fulani as long as the Fulani comes from the PDP. It's only the Fulani in APC that are terrorists and bandits.

Is Nigeria actually doing better with this government?. Have our livelihood improved?

It's not about PDP or Hating APC. Imagine if all the good indices if growth and good standard of living is seen and experiencend in Nigeria, will people complain?

Look at the economy?

Look at the purchasing power of Nigerians?

How has your assertion helped the case? This is beyond an Igbo, Hausa, or Yoruba president or APC/ PDP.

Let's try to be objective ...

How has this government really improved the lot of Nigerians.


Some of us are so sentimental that they don't mind dieing of hunger , provided their tribesman 'chop' on their behalf.

That's primitive abeg.

For some of us who have been in leadership. Being a deputy is way different from being the actual head.

There's this thing that makes people think the deputy is better until it happens that the deputy takes over and things because worse or remains the same.

The deputy is most times not better. It's just an emotional manipulation.

I'm saying in generally and not because of Osinbajo.


I'll leave it at that.

expert1:
This suggestion is ideal and very reasonable too.

I think once it is burnt, you don't need to stress in burying it again. you can flush the burnt elements.

How then do you burn it without attention. Won't people think you are roasting something?

omoiseselagba:
but one Mr s......t in ikoyi told us to pay 21k for everything and got a deposit slip from firstbank . My woman went to pay . A notice of 21days was served, we went for counseling and got married on the date we chose out of the options given to us. All what I paid 21k for, I no understand.

Is it 21 working days, or just 21 days.

Both the hospitals and HMO, no One get head.

Don't bother advertising for them.

I've seen enough Jared.

alizma:
The very day the CBN announced the suspension BDC was the day I started shouting of the imminent explosion.
Unless something is done immediately, this is just little to what is to come. Our financial sector is not yet that clean for us to take out the BDC, what I expect the CBN to do is to give the same role of the BDC to banks and watch the two of them compete to bring the price down but instead, the CBN did the unexpected.

How ?

The world are on red alert for them they will die like Osama bin hiden lol

People should have principles!

You see those who live chast lives , they have principles.


Those who manage whoredom are those who are swimming in it.

If the two believe in chastity and live according to God's words, they won't be in this mess.

Thanks God they've forgiven themselves. But they don't have principles.

Two points I didn't quite understand.

1, Nedu knew she was pregnant before they met.

2, Nedu said she only had sex once with her. She then added (How many times are you supposed to have sex before pregnancy occur)

This is paraphrasing her words.

The two points makes it illogical. Unless she was deliberately dumping the pregnancy on Nedu.

If number 1, is correct then number 2 is faulty.

Thank you

DavisBloom:
Contact each of the banks or
place an order of at least $0.1 with each of the banks card or
you can check abokifx under ATM rates or
wait for people to buy and give you updates

Okay thanks

mctfopt:
I doubt this exchange rate. Check out what I was debited for a $96.82 transaction.

₦43,569 ÷ $96.82 = ₦450

So, access bank rate is still ₦450/$

Zenith Bank rate as at today is ₦460/$

How can one know the rates.

I need dollar rate for Access, GTB, Stanbic and UBA.
