Naira swap is not a fiscal disaster. It's a monetary policy and true Nigerians stand with that policy

Are there many disasters greater than one having enough money yet can't buy good and/or procure essential services? War torn Ukraine is even faring far better.

highchief1:
lol they can’t save u.Find a visa and save yourself like some of us did bro

Let's be more concerned about the corporate welfare and safety. Our nation shall not be left to vampires.

Thegamingorca:
How did buhhari gag the supreme court pls

What was/is Buhari's spoken and body languages over this fiscal disaster? What did Buhari's Justice minister Malami say concerning the earlier Supreme Court pronouncement on old/new Naira notes' use?

REMOVE EMEFIELE, IMPEACH BUHARI, NOW!

No one needs a lawyer anymore before realizing that both Governor Emefiele and President Buhari have individually and collectively broken the oaths they solemnly swore towards respecting the Rule of Law and protecting the people of Nigeria.

The descent to the cheapest politics of deliberately stifling the dominant source of the nation's energy, petrol; and vehemently rendering the nations currency useless and unavailable, are the highest heights of treason against the country and her citizens.

These men brazenly acted contrary to the Apex Court's judgment since February 10th 2023. The masses yet remained hopeful. Today 15th February, when Nigerians waited with bated breath for salvation by the Judiciary, the President heartlessly muzzled, gagged and killed the Supreme Court.

It would now be complicit on the part of the Nigerian Senate and House of Representative if they did anything short of removing Buhari and Emefiele, from their respective offices, within the next 48 hours.

Enough Nigerians have died of hunger and lack of medical accesses even though they possess enough "money".

WHAT ARE EDUCATION AUTHORITIES DOING?

Though an engineer, I'm privileged to regularly interact with schoolchildren and their books. My observations have perpetually evoked fear for the future of Nigeria and Nigerians. The days ahead when badly trained MBBS degree holders would begin to perform heart surgeries, and shoddily groomed B Eng Civil Eng'g guys would begin to supervise bridges and skyscrapers construction, then your guess is as true as mine.

Here are some disturbing realities I've personnally uncovered.

-Primary and secondary schools textbooks are now replete with all sorts of unprintable errors: numberless typos, unpardonable grammars, weird assertions, wacky calculations and wrong answers to exercises.

-Patently unqualified teachers now man the classes and handle sensitive subjects. An SS2 Maths teacher, among other academic taboos, has continued to maintain that -3-5=+8 instead of -8; and that sine145=sine14.5 (when he couldn't find sine145 on the 4FigTable)! Is sine145 not sine(180-145) = sine 35?
Another Physics teacher (in other school) did set 25 questions, out of which 9 were outrightly wrong, for his SS2 pupils. Can you imagine a data-based question on Momentum without even the remotest hint at Velocity? This same man is the one still preparing those innocent children for the fast approaching SSCE and UTME.

-A JSS2 girl who couldn't solve y-5=15 and other elementary Arithmetics (when I casually tried her) was actually double-promoted to SS1, instead of JS3 (if she truly passed). The school proprietor told the widowed mum "because the girl is so brilliant"! This was an evil stratagem to make the illiterate woman believe that that school was an oven where geniuses were readily baked out.

These observations of mine, I've discovered, are commonplace across Nigeria. Governments and Education authorities should swiftly move to institute the following:

1: All (text)books meant for school children must be statutorily made to pass through Boards of Examiners before being permitted into the public. Books already out there should be systematically scrutinized for corrections, re-approvals and disapprovals.

2:All teachers, in public and private schools, must be routinely subjected to tests, on all subjects that they (pretend to) teach(ing) the pupils.

3:The culture, long dead, of forcing pupils who failed a class to repeat same class must be vehemently revived.

Already, most children have failed morally; adding academic failure to it would be nothing but a 23:59hours time bomb for everyone.

Brendaniel:
But that does not mean you shouldn't select the best from the north, people who clearly hate the south shouldn't be given such opportunity....

Sadly bro, the best of politicians often don't command voters' frenzy.

Thanksful:
If you be Buhari and Tinubu finish you with insult as he did Buhari, wetin you go do?

After profuse and prolonged appeal had failed, a man on purpose must employ another language of negotiation.

gaby:
I am for everyone and belong to no one...

Signed,
Bubu

Such a shame that such a high-sounding declaration eventually became one of the greatest political frauds of this generation.

Brendaniel:
That is why you should not partner with the devil to win election, you cannot hold him accountable to anything.

Same Tinubu went to partner with Shettima again even with El-rufai, These are men that hate the south with a passion...

In fairness, all big Nigerian politicians living today have different grains of devilry in them. But regretfully, political practicality demands that you court some devils to in turn curb greater evils. No Southern politician can win the Presidency without romancing the North; just as mammoth Northern votes alone never won Buhari the Presidency.

Sir, are you a trustworthy friend?
Are you a loyal party man?
Are you a just Leader?
Are you a fair Arbiter?
Are you a dependable Ally?
Are you nursing such conscience that can stand tall and erect post Aso Rock?
Do you deserve the "Baba" figure to all Nigerians, whether Fulani or not; so gleefully voted on you in years 2015 and 2019?
Do you believe in honour as a true Muslim should?
Is it not too obvious that you love NIGERIENS far more than you do non-Fulani Nigerians?
Won't you irresistibly become, very soon and forever, a legitimate candidate on the "Otherwise Popular Politicians Who Failed Woefully" Hall of InFamy?

Yours is all the choice to freely make sir.
