is been over a year if not more that the moderator of this section has not posted anything, is either we are forgotten or well behaved and don't need any moderation, as it is we are on autopilot

DoyenExchange:
I beg to disagree. Inasmuch as a candidate from the 'so called' 3k States may be useful, picking a candidate who is not from there but whom the people truly loved would do the magic.

the logic behind PDP picking someone from north west is to split Buhari votes, remember northwest registered voter is almost twice of any other zone, and that is where Buhari has some cult followership , kwankwaso is as well having such followership in the north west.

Should PDP pick someone out of the zone Buhari may likely pick 90% of the votes, with a lot his voters in SW and NC disappointed Buhari will find it difficult to win those zones unless he rigs, don't follow the hype of paid boys that promote him on social media.

My projection should PDP pick kwankwaso as candidate and campaign rigorously is as follows, NW, Buhari 60% kwankwaso 40%, NE Buhari 50% kwankwaso 50%, NC Buhari 40%kwankwaso 60%. I have no idea about the south

Believe it or not kwankwaso has some point , Buhari of today is not Buhari of 2015 many former supporters are disappointed in his government, and to br honest in the north west kwankwaso will very likely split Buhari votes because he is also loved.

My problem with kwankwaso is his acceptability in other parts of the nation as Atiku may likely beat him there but surely he will beat atiku in the north west and give Buhari a run for his money .

The truth is the PDP has only two choice either Atiku or kwankwaso others are only pretenders

Na body dey tell them

Nicomsat is okay,the only thing missing there is a good Nigeria Movie channel and waptv

is it stable now, cos I use to hear it goes off too

Should we just redirect our tstv to nigcomsat, since it seems they are not coming back soon, is almost four days now, any update on tstv ?

Government that want to borrower $2.8Billion want to also distribute $500million Abacha loot to the poor, why not use the recovered money to finance the deficits. Must we borrow

This osho Na mumu o , Na so e wan take start

Truth be told despite not being an ipob supporter , Nnamdi KANU is with FG in detention, they just want to harass abaribe for his constant opposition

Probably for some money rituals

I really miss my visafone line, I had it till today but due to lack of recharge it became dormant,

If you watch Ghana tv channels you will see a lot of spiritualist making money including hard currency and even naira, I wonder if they are real or just film tricks

hulk616:
FIFA please don't increase world cup to 48 countries

you just said my mind, in fact if possible it should be reduced to 24 like USA 94,

mediocre teams should be eliminated at qualifications but with 48 teams there will be more of panama and co don't be surprised if you see srilanka and chad at the world cup and scoreline of 12-0

They do, but is just for secured category of people, after all some people are on postpaid tariff, I can remember back in the early 2000s econet and mtn were both marketing top bankers with then choice phones and postpaid services and I believe even today they do because cost of phone is nothing to those category of people.

So people working in blue chip organization have them but most staff don't want to be encumbered because of ordinary phone and the limitation of being used on only one network

Proudlyngwa:
If we trade at 250, a lot of things that are locally produced will be affected as it will become cheaper to import. Also we will have a lot of substandard products as manufacturers will want to meet up.

Take fuel for instance, Nigeria has the cheapest price of fuel for countries around it, and that is with dollar at 360, with dollar at 250 fuel becomes cheaper and smuggling out becomes more lucrative.


Another question is if the price of crude which is the major source of dollar supply falls, how long will we be able to sustain it at 250 to a naira.

I just saw your response here, but the question is how did past government sustain it at lower rate, the present high cost of life is mainly due to high dollar rate, and have industries increased since naira was devalued ? Believe me it reduced. Government is there to alleviate people not the other way round , just imagine what $10B injected into our economy will do as against leaving it in an account in another country, one of the main reason the economy is slow is because of lack of investments, how many investors are we seeing this days, the only investors are portfolio investors who contribute little to the economy.

You said a lot of thing will be cheaper to import if dollar is 250, please can you mention just 3 I industries that thrived under this harsh condition, probably you will say rice , believe most of the things you see about rice is propaganda, I am a notherner and live in the north the so called local rice are only seen during launching by politicians, and even the figures of productions are exegerrated clearly they are not up to our demand.


Only a wicked father with live money in account while his family is suffering, a clear case of Buhari

Proudlyngwa:
Trade at 250 and watch the economy die

why ? we are learning here

The naira is still undervalued, with current reserve of about $50b naira should trade around 250 at most, but the problem is the political will to do that, the least this government can do is to converge all rates at the same place, but a situation where some people get dollar at 305 while some get at 357 is rigged to favour some privileged few

Imagine the effect on cost of life if the dollar will be like 250 but as i said the political will may be lacking

Is Yahaya Bello a youth ? How can a 43 years old middle aged man be called a youth when the dictionary definition of youth are those between 18-35

Obviously this indimi man is a billionaire gold digger, once you have power he will find way of connecting his family with yours through marriage

sunene1:
yes.this Tstv I guess they don't have anything to offer .u promise to show world cup and failed again

they are not serious obviously and there present content cannot be subscribed even for N500 monthly, unless they upgrade but let's give them the benefits of doubt as they are still on test

Is tstv off everywhere because mine is red

BafanaBafana:
The only name they know in the north is Buhari.
The very people you claim are complaining will still vote for him. As a matter of fact, there is a subtle competition between kano, katsina and Bauchi state as to who will give him more votes.
Also Buhari will get more votes from the SS than he did in 2015 because the 95% to pdp and 5% to APC rigging they did will not work this time. The ruling party now has more presence there.
And yes, he will win in the SW and some NC states.

I am a northerner and I live in the north, I was also a stauch buharist prior to his ascendency to presidency and I am now very disappointed, you can check my post here of pre 2015.

I can tell you for free that the hitherto love for Buhari in the north has dwindled and many are even against him, and should PDP field someone like kwankwaso as its candidate those votes Buhari always boast about will be split, because people are suffering and it seems he doesn't care

Na body go tell you insha Allah


Buhari has always won the NE and NW, so what changed in 2015, SW and NC voted him, now the question is will SW and NC vote him again ? As it is a large chunk of supporters even in the north have left him due to disappointment, I can bet he will lose the NC especially with saraki, fatai, ortom and large igala, tiv and idoma voter going against him

Whether Buhari likes it or not the nPDP is the largest bloc that contributed to his election in 2015, their exit will sure have a devastating effect on him, discount them at your own peril Mr buhari.

Even in kano should kwankwaso be PDP candidate be rest assured buharis votes will seriously reduce if not defeated , just come to kano and see how people are complaining about how wicked the present government is

In politics even a vote is important talk less of giants like the nPDP this tell you how deluded and dictatorial Buhari is

Is oshiomole unopposed ? I have not heard of any other candidate

Kobicove:
Your post is contradictory...

USD is currently exchanging at about 1USD=Naira 360

You are suggesting an exchange rate of N250 yet you're saying the Naira is overvalued

The correct statement should be that the Naira is undervalued or the US dollar is over valued

you are right, thanks for the correction, the naira is under valued especially comsidering the fact that we have a reserve of about $50b

The only problem is the political will, as all it takes is a policy statement, or the least this government can do is to converge all rates in the same place, but a situation where there are different rates for different sectors clearly shows a rigged system, everyone should get the dollar at N305 not some privileged few

To be frank the naira is undervalued , dollar should be like 250,

I only respect T B Joshua

Hati13:
Yeah it will be great to see it. It will be a dream come true. I’m exaggerating in us being not alive in 2030. We have to see the result after 4 years to see the 2030 result. The total area of Canada, USA and Mexico is less than Africa.

the slow campaign should start immediately after this Russia world cup as the host of 2030 will be announced at Qatar 2022.

Cheers bro

Hati13:
It will be a great move but even it will be accepted, how many of us will be alive to see it?

it may be accepted considering the fact that the world cup will be of 48 teams from 2026 as you can see the world cup that year is between three countries USA, Canada and mexico, and you know the total land area of this three countries is as big as Africa if not more, we pray God gives us more days to witness 2030 which is 12 years from now, the only problem I see is finance and may be unseriousness from some African countries

Believe me this man is powerful and I love his simplicity, I have so much respect for him, I would love to meet him someday despite me being a muslim

flemsy15:
The distances between the hosting nations will be too much for easy movements of both players and fans, it won't work, FIFA won't agree, hosting nations must have common boundaries

the distance from mexico to Canada is almost what I am proposing, so I don't think it will be a problem, as highest flight hour will not be more than 5 hours
