Tranquility2345:
I hear it’s close to 100m ooo

Are you serious? Well, after all the cuts and deductions that will go to facilitators, partners, taxes, lawyers etc, he could get up to $40m. That's still massive. He deserves it.

This is a huge deal. Super proud of Don Jazzy. He has been doing very well for a long time but safe to say he is 'finally rich' now.

No way he isn't pocketing a minimum of $15m-$20m USD cash from this deal.

If he successfully sees this through, then I'll clap for him and cut him some slack. I mean it.

One of the reasons why I wanted a hard reset for Nigeria (whether via coup or anything else) is the useless civil service. It is too large and too redundant. Most of these people need to be sacked.

Anti people policies and disgusting tribalism/nepotism is a deadly combination, especially by a terribly unpopular character like him.

And there is no doubt that if the 4th Republic crumbles, he and his insufferable 'Lagos Boys' are entirely to blame. And they will suffer the consequences.

In a sane country orji uzor Kalu would have been dispatched by a well constituted firing squad!

Anyway , in our lifetime such a squad sharp of shooters will be established to delete these demons from our sight and psyche!! Ndi Ala Iberibe

The thing that calls itself BAT is far worse than Orji Kalu, yet his ronu people forced him down Nigerians' throats and worshipped him as if he is a deity, all to let it be that a tribalistic Yoruba man in whom they are well pleased emerged as the president.

I know for a fact that if Orji Kalu or Rochas, Hope and any of these other godforsaken thieves had emerged as the presidential candidate of the APC or PDP, or any other political party for that matter, they would have been thoroughly rejected by Igbo people across board. They would have only relied on the usual rigging to win election (like Orji Kalu did to grab the Senate seat and Hope did to grab the governorship).

Adaora on the beat.

By the way, it appears most Nigerians are horrible. Just give them a little power and they quickly become self-seeking, implacable monsters. Reminds me of that Calabar idiot or whatever who held a similar role during the early years of the Buhari administration. Can't remember his name now, but same modus operandi as this godforsaken Jim Obazee.

zoedew:
This corrupt grass cutter! If he lived in the P.R.C. he should have executed long ago for corruption. Shameless man.

If your bat lived in the P. R. C,, his rotten flesh and bones would have long been devoured by vultures, after being hanged by his shrivelled balls. No Nigerian in history is more corrupt than Tinubu. Not even Abacha and IBB combined. And you know it. But your ronu hypocrisy would not allow you see the truth.

I think it is quite heartless and unreasonable for rents to go up at this time, especially non-upscale residential apartments.

Owning a house built 20 years ago is not a business or vocation in itself, so you can't arbitrarily 'adjust' prices to reflect new galloping inflationary trends. Cost of utilities, security, maintenance, etc can go up to match the inflation, agreed. But the rent shouldn't rise astronomically.

I know of some houses where the annual rent of a single flat is nominally more than double the amount spent to acquire the land and build the entire house with its multiple blocks of flats years ago.

Even me, I don't have up to N500k in Naira in any of my Naira accounts, so what gives?

I can't believe a so-called finance minister should be citing such pedestrian 'statistics' that is neither here nor there.

Omo which kind free floating, itinerant criminal be this one? From Abraka in Delta State to Ikoyi, to Abuja to Port Harcourt to Makurdi. Does he have just one face or multiple faces?

This rubbish is irritating. Who needs all of this nonsense?

The biggest problem of the Igbo people is their short sighted, self centred individualism. I wish I could explain this in detail, but not now.

Honestly this madness cannot continue. It can't.

God1000:
Lol, but sincerely I wish the south west had supported Osinbajo instead of Tinubu.

I don't know why they rejected him.


We are facing existential crisis.

They rejected Osibanjo for two reasons;

1. They believed Osibanjo lacked the criminal resources to actually win the presidency. Given the disastrous failure of the Buhari administration in which Osibanjo was part and parcel of, there was no way he could have won a free and fair election. And he wouldn't have the resources and the will to corrupt the entire space (INEC, judiciary, security agencies, etc.) to steal the mandate by force. They wanted the presidency at all costs, even if through illicit 'snatching and grabbing', and they knew that Tinubu was the only capable one for that.

2. Most importantly (and this is same reason why they hated their brother Obasanjo), Osibanjo was not tribalistic enough for them. They knew Osibanjo would probably try to be nationalistic, pacifist, inclusive and urbane. They did not want that. They wanted a truly mgbatti, in-your-face ronuistic presidency where the Yoruba would be all and all. And they knew Tinubu was the prime candidate to foist and implement that agenda. And we are seeing it with his disgusting mgbatti-centric appointments.

JAMO84:
Buhari had a good reason for not devaluing the naira at the time, we can't continue borrowing to defend the naira anymore. Different strokes for different folks.

Some of you are tone deaf. The logic of what he said, has it changed? Now that your BAT has devalued the Naira, what is the consequence?

onez:
This is a warning to all true lovers of Nigeria. This is not for those that cheered the disastrous years of Buhari (They are the enemies of this country). All hands must be on deck to save this country from collapse. In my previous thread, I warned that human being will eat grass if nothing is done. Things are already escalating dangerously. This is another warning. This country should not divide. Tinubu is a clear and present danger to the unity and continue existence of this country.

Sto Sto Sto, story.

Having won the h-erection, we must all stand on his manhood. 4+4 = 8.

Because there was no Binance before Tinubu, right?

Fools. As long as they continue this fire brigade, Isale Eko agbero style of h-economics, the dollar would cross N2000 by Easter. This is certain.

Useless bunch.

When you put your Lagos Ronu dullards in charge of CBN and Ministry of Finance, I wonder what outcomes you're expecting.

You snatched a shaky mandate with mere 8m allocated votes. Rather than play the pacifist game by appointing competent Nigerians from across board to manage the country, you're forming 'winner takes it all' and turned Nigeria's Federal Government to an mgbattti mgbatti jamboree abi Lagos party. What has someone like Wale Edun accomplished in his private life other than his long spell as a commissioner in Lagos and boy boy of Tinumbu? What about Cardoso? Same thing.

Now you want empathy from Nigerians after you and your ronu brothers have destroyed the country?

oliverwrites:
So speculators can't buy USDT with USD and hoard it? Some of you will go about abusing the government but are not that intelligent just all talks.

Funny how the most obtuse simpletons go about questioning the intelligence of others.

How does this rubbish you wrote make any sense to you in the context of the discussion?

You said you went to a BDC to buy USD Fiat, and was quoted a certain exchange rate, and then you went to Binance to buy USDT token, and saw a difference of about N100. I asked you what is the correlation? Is USD the same as usdt? If you don't understand the import of this question, then you shouldn't be here discussing what you know nothing about.

People are either receiving payments via USDT and converting to Naira to fund their expenses, or buying USDT token with NAIRA to cushion against the decreasing value of the Naira. Yet you're here ranting nonsense about speculators. If you don't know where the problem lies then I can see how "intelligent" you are.

There's not a single thing the Nigerian government can do to 'ban' Binance, other than to block access to the app - same thing it did to twitter.

And anyone savvy enough to be a Binance user is savvy enough to install even a free vpn to bypass that restriction.

Already, Binance and other crypto exchanges cannot exchange crypto to Naira Fiat in Nigeria, so p2p is the only way. So what exactly can government do to stop p2p trading?

Besides, is it only the dollar that is rising unchecked? What of GBP? What of EUR? Is there any stable coin on Binance that is tied to these currencies too, or would you also blame Binance for these as well?

Rather than face the source of the forex crisis, these fools are busy chasing shadows.

These clueless bastards in the APC who have wrecked Nigeria since 2015 to date need to have their heads checked.

oliverwrites:
Don't just type for the sake of it, analyse things properly. Only thus morning two bureau de change guys quoted me 1780 and 1790 to sell $1,000. On binance, it is currently 1890. Why the 100 naira difference?

Binance knows what they are doing but your hate for the government isn't allowing you see clearly.

Is USD being traded on Binance, or what exactly is your problem? Is USD the same thing as USDT?

This is so sad and disgraceful.

Okay. On top shaky, snatched mandate of corruptly allocated 8m votes (which is still way way less than the roughly 14m+ total votes allocated to his 3 more qualified opponents) this idiot still has the audacity to be Yorubalizing everything and Lagosizing everything.

Ordinarily, one wouldn't have a problem with these national institutions moving to Lagos based on the idea that Lagos is supposed to be somewhat a NO MAN'S LAND, being the capital of Nigeria for so long. But these idiots made it clear that other Nigerians can't vote their preferred candidates in Lagos. Can't safely invest and reside in Lagos. Can't do anything in Lagos without "respecting" their so-called "hosts" (spits). When reminded that Lagos was built with Federal NIGERIA'S money, they claim that their BAT built Lagos with his own money.

Now they have the audacity to move critical federal NIGERIAN institutions with the attendant advantages to their Yoruba Lagos. This is unacceptable. Forget the so-called horrible economic policies that have impoverished Nigerians. If anything has to bring this bastard down by all means and at all cost then it has to be this provocative policy of relocating Federal institutions that belong to our Federal Capital City of Abuja to his ethnocentric Lagos. That can not and will not be accepted. And he will forcefully understand that very soon.

Umuinyioku:
He needs to be investigated.

What's his net worth and what does he do for a living. Dangote, Otedola, Adenuga etc with their humongous wealth doesn't spend this way because they know source of their money not rosy.

He has about five wives. Does show same love to all of them or he is just being selective. He is gradually digging his grave because other women won't take kindly to this outpouring of love to one of them. Others will be grieved and angry.

By the way,how many of his siblings, friends and community has he empowered with such grace?

He needs to be investigated!

All these frustrated, entitled 'victims of circumstance' making a fool of themselves here is so sad to see. He needs to be investigated because his wife posted a Lexus he "bought" for her (heard it is actually his official car that she merely peppered the social media church rats like you with).

You need to go for deliverance. Anywhere. Whether it is Mountain of Fire, Odumeje or Celestial Church of Allah. Just do something to cure yourself of this self-hurting defeatism.

What we need are a band of tough majors and Lt colonels from the middle belt leaning north to rise to the occasion and reset this shithole.

Chikel20000:
I don't like Tinubu and never will but u see dis northern people, I'd rather support Tinubu my southern person than dis tribal bigots.....if u guys want to play politics....we r ready for u people ....so Buhari that made us suffer dis untold hardship nobody wants to blame him but they want to blame d south cos their son is no longer there.....

You and who is doing fellow Southern person with this useless tribalistic thing called BAT? God forbid. Does this look like "Southern presidency" to you? You forced your way into a shaky mandate with your allocated 8m votes (as against 14m votes against you), and instead of realising your weak standing and pretending to carry the rest of the country along, you quickly pack your ronu brothers into every important office, from CBN to Finance to FIRS to EFCC to Army, Customs, Police, Chief of Staff and so on, thinking that he is wise abi?

I rather the north continues to rule forever than for this madness they call yoruba presidency to rear its head in this detestable manner again.

What the emergency h-economic h-experts supporting their Jaguda brother's subsidy removal and Naira floating combo-lation do not realise is that in Nigeria, corruption always rises to the occasion. Corruption is the system, and the system must run. Interpret this any how you want.

But one thing is clear, Nigrerians would pay more for fuel and pay more for the dollar throughout Jaguda's cursed regime, and guess what? There would be nothing to show for their suffering at the end of the day. They would suffer in vain because whatever 'gains' or touted positive impacts that were supposed to emanate from these policies would be swallowed up by constantly evolving iterations of corruption. Nothing go reach ground. The masses go hear am.

nedekid:
Exactly. Some people run deals and make a reasonable living through it. It is their luck, contacts etc. I know someone that in a year, earnings he made from such walka that I am aware amounting to over 200m, other earning I do not know are there. All clean and legit. Eg, he did the running around for an elderly lady to perfect documents and negotiations for a multi billion naira property, he got a huge cut as thank you, other properties she bought from the proceeds, he got a finders fee, he did the running around at Abuja for an old man, money came out, the man paid him over 50m, guess what, the old man's associate in Abuja slammed him another 50m. That is how this guy makes millions and it is consistent. He is called Mr fix it. It is his luck, his calling.

You know how it works. This thing happens in all sectors imaginable. Globally, might I add. Not just in Nigeria. Some even without you having to leave the comfort of your house. Phone calls and emails here and there, and boom, you get cuts that these 'factory workers' can't earn in 10 years.

After all, making money simply involves solving problems, exploiting loopholes or taking advantage of opportunities. These are not always defined in terms of brick and morter.

I know exactly what's involved and how it works, so I find it quite irritating when these close minded losers ask such rubbish questions, 'which factory does he have' or worse still, 'where does he work'.
