Atiku is coming to NDC to meet Obi there ![]() I am very suspicious of this Obi and Kwankwaso moves Are they working for the big masquared? |
All these UK regulators are usually mean when it comes from banks that are located in developing countries Just imagine slamming a fine of 7.6m pounds on GT Bank for regulatory infractions. Something they cannot do to their own local banks. If we do same to any of their entities here, they will report to the PM and the house of commons and those guys would put pressure on our government to rescind the decision. The fine was quite excessive in my own opinion. ![]() These regulators would always find a way to make money for His majesty revenue and customs |
Atiku is coming to NDC! You must contest the primaries with Atiku ![]() |
Obi and Kwankwaso are BAT's mole in the opposition. These happenings have long been planned. NDC will be like Labour Party of 2023 that divided PDP votes. NDC will divide ADC's votes, there by giving the ticket to PBAT. I wonder how obidients and Kwankwasiya expect to defeat PBAT in an election that is organised by PBAT. Atiku would be extremely disappointed in Obi. |
These British lawmakers are funny. The guy is British and not Nigerian. See how his nationality was mentioned as if it was because he was a Nigeria. The British system and society has built their value system around him. If he was just an immigrant that migrated to the UK, he would have lost his deportation case. He won the right to stay because he was born British and grew up British. |
It wasn't the US Congress that invited him. He was just extended invitation by a low ranking member of the Congress, who may likely lobby for Atiku, to discuss informally with some members of house committees and others on matters of urgent public importance |
bentenny:This is the best standard of practice. But some contracting firms in Nigeria are NOT compliant with standard safety procedures for their staff in out-of-station work. During my NYSC, I worked with a power generator sales and service firm. A company called for the maintenance of armoured cable that lead from the genhouse to the main building. We were three that went from the firm for the repair. I was with the main engineer that was doing the fixing, as I was supporting him with his tools. The other guy was stationed at the change over room. After sometimes, the security gate man of the building that wasn't around when we came, returned and was heading to the change over room to change to NEPA, unaware that work was going on, as there was light in the building next to the one we were working on. But our third that was stationed there shouted at him that work was going on,on the other side of the building. Imagined if our third person wasn't around in that changing room, the security guy would have powered on the building why our main engineer was still holding and working on the armoured cable |
Under which party? ![]() There will not be any opposition contestant in the next year's election, except if the Supreme court decides otherwise. Sowere may likely be the only major opposition contestant against BAT next year. I doubt if the Supreme Court's judgement on the ADC matter will be different from the judgements delivered by the lower court. The best strategy is to move into other parties before the due deadline. Kwankwaso would be regretting his exit from the NNPP He would have use NNPP to accommodate ADC members and build strong leverage. I am sure if Kwankwaso was still in NNPP, he would have asked the ADC guys to move and the ADC would have adopted his party without any issue. |
Very barbaric from that Usman of a guy I hope he did not do that to shield some powerful interests or to cover up an even greater crime The manner and speed with which he fired at that guy, someone that did not pose any immediate threat, was suspicious I hope the police inspector is not part of kidnapping syndicate, fearful that the victim may spill the beans. |
NEVER underestimate the impact of economic blockade on any nation Land, sea and air blockades could have disastrous consequences on any country. Iran underestimated Trump's threat and thought he wouldn't double down on his threat. Blockade effectively brings an economy of any country to a halt as economic activities dwindles. Economic blockade by the federal Nigerian government during the civil war effectively crippled the Biafra government and brought the total collapse of its economy. If this blockade on Iran continues, the economic woes would be disastrous Note that sanctions is different from economic blockade, especially sea blockade. |
I knew it wont work If it was an EU regulator, then, there may be an iota of chance that it would be paid It is difficult for countries outside the US, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Japan to fine a US tech firm or an EU tech firm. The general belief is that regulators in developing countries are weak and are moved by corruption and corrupt tendencies to act. |
Trump will soon throw some jabs at him ![]() |
Hunger don hold them ![]() Siasia has a corruption badge around his neck but seems better qualified for the job |
Finally, Sleepy Wale Edun is leaving ![]() The man lacks spark as a Finance minister. Always looking like someone that just woke up from sleep Taiwo is more eloquent and understands the Nigerian economy better. A thorough bred professional with understanding of the workings of the informal sector. |
President Ruto made little sense with his defence but faltered when he brought the English profiency comparison, which was not necessary. He should have stucked with economic indicators in comparing the two countries. I am sure Tinubu himself didn't know when he mentioned Kenya in his speech in Bayelsa. |
PDP thought that they would be in power forever and started a giant structure. The construction was paused in 2015 after the party lost out in the general elections. ![]() Daddy Sam and Wike wants to revive the moribund edifice. Wike may commit funds as usual, as the Patron Saint of PDP ![]() |
When you say that the conflict in the North doesn't concern you, you can now see how it affects you. Money that could have been used to take care of other pressing issues are appropriated for boko haram matters |
No ever price Trump Market, because if you price am, you must pay and collect. ![]() |
The radical leftist FIFA wouldn't want anything religious but would gladly identify with LGQT people and their symbols. Very soon, they will ban players from making the sign of the cross after scoring a goal or kneeling to nod their fore heads on the pitch like Moslems. |
naptu2:......with these rich experiences, someone here had the mind to question why the late TV star was addressed as a "veteran". ![]() |
pek:What do you mean?? 10 to 20 years of active service in a particular field makes one a veteran, if you rise through the ranks. Me o, I am a veteran in my own field. I can hold my own. It is a badge of honor and service. |
Lots of smart chaps are in public schools while lots of dumb people are in a highly-rate private school I saw one guy walked past where I was doing road walk, reading his book with all seriousness - it seems some of them in public schools in Lagos are writing their exams. I engage him and found out that he is a science student and my conversations with him showed someone that is smart and has grip of his physics subject |
Ironfaceman:Honestly, you no well ![]() The forgery in this contest by the national assembly relates ONLY to candidates that have been declared winner in an election. The court can no longer use evidence of forged certificate to overturn an election victory - You see the kind of people ruling us in this country ![]() They have invariably, validated the use of forged certificates for elections for themselves. |
Validated:I don't why you guys keep deceiving yourselves and day dreaming Defeating Tinubu before 12 noon, as in what ![]() Obidients always seems to be full of unrealistic expectations. Elections are not on the social media or how vocal you are online. The real voters are on the streets without access to these kinds of conversations. |
I doubt it It means that their effective tax rate would be more than 50%. This is not possible, except if there are other outstanding obligations DANGOTE CEMENT owe the FG |
He came to Nigeria, during the last NBA conference in Enugu and enjoyed himself. Nigeria gave him a big publicity that the SA media picked up and was surprised at the reception given to him in Nigeria He used that his visit to Nigeria to market himself and project an image of a Pan African freedom fighter |
Nigerian politicians and show. Take them serious at your own perils |
I thought this man was hiding somewhere after that unfortunate interview with Hassan ![]() He is back to office after the back lash he received from Nigerians |
Kwakwanso would be wondering which kind wahala be this ![]() As he ported from his NNPP, ADC got involved in big mess He would have used his NNPP as a leverage and a rallying point for the opposition. ADC members would have considered Kwakwanso's NNPP if their own problem lingered on but that is no more as the main man has also joined them. I wonder how these guys expect to pull a surprise on BAT without having any sitting governor in their fold? Forget the 2023 where Obi won some states without having a sitting governor. APC and BAT would not allow the kind of perceived "freedom" allowed under Buhari |
Abeg, make him remember Nigeria. ![]() All the past Popes no dey look our side, since after Pope John Paul the II |
The man made a big mistake by futile attempts to hide his identity and posts on twitter. He should simply have owned to them and heaven would not fall. He could simply claim it was in the past, and as a private citizen, he was allowed to support any political party. Knee-jack reaction has a way of exposing someone even further to what he was trying to hide. |
