Man all those wikes talk would have been on repeat

Christian state, mosque demolition, ipob.

It would have been a gift, though I cannot predict how the polity would have responded

Are all these worse than Tinubus drug case, muslim muslim ticket, ill health, e.t.c How far today?

Android17:
You are not answering the question. I know an Atiku/Peter Obi partnership would have defeated Tinubu but Atiku without Peter Obi could not as we saw. My question to you is, do you really believe Nyesom Wike on a ticket would have defeated Tinubu?

I already answered you. Wike is an overkill. A cone would have defeated BAT

afrodoc2:
A Northern cone would have defeated Tinubu. Not sure about a southern cone.

South or North, I don't see how Tinubu would have won that election. The division in the PDP played right into his hands.

Theflint1:
The dynamics of every election change according to the persons running. PDP zoning to a Southerner again might have essentially made the party become a Southern party, and one can't say how the North would have reacted to that, but suggesting Wike would win a national election sounds very very funny sha.

What options do they have if both leading parties had presented a Southern candidate?

A cone would have won the election if PDP was united. Wike is an overkill.

Android17:
Are you claiming Wike would have defeated Tinubu?

A cone would have defeated Tinubu if PDP fielded it. They only needed to be united. Tinubu won as a result of the division in PDP. This is an undeniable fact.

GloriousGbola:
PDP na money for hand back for ground party. Look at the way they readmitted the people that knifed the part in 2015.atiku and Saraki. And instantly gave Atiku presidential ticket. Meanwhile those who stood by when things were tough dey do siddon look.

Let this court case end and Atiku will again abandon the party and return to Dubai,leaving them to pick the pieces.

And when he comes back in 2027, they will hand over the ticket to him again. PDP is a useless party

Theflint1:
How did Atiku backstab Wike?

The whole talk of power must come South didn't come up in the buildup to the primaries when Wike assumed he was sure of winning. In fact, Wike confident he was on his way to winning, said openly that he'd support whoever else won for the parties interest, only for Tambuwal to mess up his calculations last minute by telling his delegates to vote Atiku, thereby taking Atiku over the finish line just slightly.

Wike didn't remember Southern presidency when he was lobbying to be vice to Atiku , was until it became clear Atiku didn't want him as vice that he remembered that Southern presidency was important.

While I understand Wike had valid reasons to feel entitled to presidency in the party, since he had been the one carrying the party through some of it's toughest periods, but I don't see how Atiku winning the party primaries was him betraying Wike. People have in time past sponsored the PDP and APC financially and they didn't fork the party over when things didn't go their way.

And as regards Peter Obi, I don't think it was Atiku insisting on running that pushed him out...not at all, this was someone he ran with only 4 years ago, so what's wrong in giving it another go?

What pushed Peter Obi out was the governors insisting that vice must come from among one of them in order for Atiku to get their support, effectively making it impossible for Atiku to run with Peter Obi. Peter Obi seeing he wasn't going to be running with Atiku, and imagine no communication from the party on how things would go from here on, there was no communication on, decided to test his popularity outside the PDP.

The combination of Obi leaving the PDP, and the G5 was too much for the Atiku candidacy, and that's why he lost. He'd have had a fairly comfortable victory if either of those two things weren't playing out same time.

The ticket was meant to be zoned to the South. Atiku in his usual sneaky and desperate move quickly rushed to buy the ticket in connivance with the leadership of the party.

When the issue of zoning finally came up, they said people had bought forms and that it should be thrown open.

That was the genesis of the whole problem. Atiku was responsible for all of PDPs misfortune in the last election. He was not meant to contest the primaries in the first place.

As events finally showed, they didn't even need Atiku in the first place. If they were united, anyone from the South would have defeated BAT.

Fighting corruption is dangerous by Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

Make I kukuma look for both books.

larride:
Even for Rumuokuta girls, you will still pay for uniform fee as a new student, you will still be paying PTA, exam fees and the likes. The amount might not just be up to FGGC own.

At least, you can save some money if you source for them yourself and no one will blame the government.

[color=royalblue]Apples and Oranges, bro[/color]

Most importantly, there are alternatives. If the price of FGGC is too expensive, you can take your child to Rumuokuta girls.

If the Federal government had established gas to CNG conversion stations like they said they will, no one will bother if fuel gets to 2000/litre. The alternative is now there. Its your choice to either go for the conversion or buy at 2000/litre.

Amigoss:
When they were supposed to tell us hold your governors by the throat and warn them for wanting to touch our reserves and savings,they were busy insulting,abusing and running propagandas against GEJ..

Money for reserve is now less than Tinubu's drug money forfeiture in the 90's,they are now telling us to hold our state governor's responsible...Oshiomole and Amaechi will not die well sha..

Like we should all march to our state secretariat and hold delta and Edo governor for shirt on how he is spending monthly FAAC money tinubu is sending to him

Do you have an idea what the title of this book is?

GloriousGbola:
I have my reservations about the quality of that education though. Particularly when I see the takes of some of my classmates in our alumni whatsapp groups.

What is this?

ReadaDream:
Chai. This one hits home. I wonder if that December frenzy will be a thing this year. Majority won't be traveling for the holidays

If fuel never even reach 1000 a litre by that time.

ReadaDream:
So Lagos can be this free in the morning? Akanbi you do this one

Fuel of 600 a litre na your mate? All men don Park motor

I was just looking at the same thing in PH. Once schools close today, it will even be better than this

antibullshit:
Car ac does not use petrol. It uses gas for cooling and the belt of the ac motor is attached to the car engine by a cog which runs it while the engine runs. How will that consume petrol when no petrol goes to the ac? On the other hand driving with your windows up while doing 50kph or more actually saves petrol because there's more drag.

Contrary to your name, you actually say a lot of bullshit...and with confidence

BlueRayDick:
8 hours driving without traffic ? 😳

that’s like Lagos to Niger state na . Una dey try o

I don't think they drive that fast. Speed limit things. And can you even drive Lagos to Niger in 8 hours? That's the best drive time I've had from Lagos to Port Harcourt and I drove like a maniac.

With present situation of things in the country nobody want stress....because people are in distress as we speak.
Fueling and maintenance of Volvo no be joke,let’s be realistic!

8.4km/l for the volvo versus 10km/l for the average corolla. If you cover 200km a week, a corolla will use 12k fuel and the volvo will use 14k fuel. I have not even compared it with other 4cyl cars with bigger engines

This difference of 2k fuel a week is why you think the dealer should sell his car like he stole it. If they even ask you to bring the 1m, you don't have it. Stop constituting a nuisance on people's thread. This is where they make a living for themselves and their families.

mufasaus:
How much to clear 2014 Acura MDX. Does it make sense to even ship a car to Nigeria now or just buy in Nigeria

Depends on the car. Sometimes your options are really limited and you can't get what you want in the country.

For regular cars that are everywhere like pure water, buy here.

inoki247:
Lol na doz people wey dey Always brag Abt V6 and mock 4 plug owner I dey use laff like this....

The funny thing is, depending on how you drive, some of those V6s can consume fuel like it's a 4 cylinder.

The power is there to be used and of course, fuel to be burnt. If you decide not to use it, you save fuel

Muhammadson2020:
Guy go rest. Your own too much self. Its a big win for him. Stop downgrading other people's success.

Economics is economics, inflation is inflation and the truth is the truth.

I am not downgrading his "success". It won't add to mine nor take away from mine.

Muhammadson2020:
Person use N4,200,000 make 500,000k in 2weeks. You talk say he no make money? Na inflation him keep up with it. Is your brain working at all ?
Didirin !

Humour me. What will 4.2m buy 6 weeks ago that you'll still buy with 4.2m today?

4.2m would have bought 8,200 litres of PMS six weeks ago. Today, you need 4.8m to buy the same quantity. You see why you shouldn't jump into discussions?

By the way, the same 4.2m can make you N420,000 a day in the stock market. You didn't know that, did you? That's why you should allow those who know better than you discuss so you learn. Arrogance and insults won't take you anywhere

Word of advice. When people have discussions that are above the capacity of your empty brain, sit down and learn. You must not open your mouth to say everything that comes out of it.

Pearl1910:
Lolz...which one u dey talk 2018 2018? Is it 2018 that he bought his dollars? Abi don't u know how much dollars was in 2018? Convert from that time na.
Any other investment u do, u will still convert it to naira to spend.

The LCM of all this is it's better he saved his money in dollars rather than naira.
Alot of people save in naira and it's not foolishness like u r trying to make it look. At least u will still have your money in your account anytime u need it.
The money he has made is passive income as he didn't lift a finger or make any trading to achieve it.
it shouldn't be compared with trading or buying assets with the money.

The problem with you is that you don't read to understand. You read to argue.

Example 1. Someone asked me what business he would have done to generate more than 500k in 6 weeks, I responded only for you to say they are not passive investments. You didn't read to understand

2. I have consistently said a lot of stocks have returned more money within the last 6 weeks around the same time he bought the dollars. You say I keep mentioning 2018. Again, you did not read to understand.

Stocks, real estate, buying dollars are all passive investments. I can't even believe we are debating this.

The summary of the whole thing is that, he has kept up with inflation which is not a bad thing but he has not made money.

And saving money in the bank is foolishness. If you do it then you're foolish. I have no apologies. The only money you should have in the bank is what you use for your day to day expenses. Keep spare funds in mutual funds for rainy days. Most Mutual funds pay within 24 hours. Mansard used to pay within one hour until recently.

If you must quote me, I plead with you to at least understand what you're responding to.

GeneralZodd:
You re pained and bitter.

More screenshot of heavy money sitting in my bank account will be posted on this thread soon

Watch out

That's my prayer for everybody. If you post heavy money, I will celebrate it with you

Pearl1910:
Thats no longer passive income na

He asked a question and I answered. Besides, stocks are passive investments.

GeneralZodd:
You are very wrong on this one. Your analysis is false. Using a car as yardstick and parameters to measure inflation in Dollar in correlation with Naira is a very big mistake. Everybody knows that auto trade is heavily depended on foreign exchange, but that's not where i will channel my money to when I eventually sell off. I dey go to put my money into real estate. That's another sure banker any investor can rely on.

Money saved in Dollar and Naira can never be the same interms of inflation. Lai Lai !!! The difference is clear. Person put #4.2 million naira for bank come get #500k in less than 2 months is better than some one who put such amount in Naira account. I am 500k richer now.

Mind you if I decide to convert the money into naira now now. I can buy what 4.2 million couldn't buy before because I have extra 500k on it. The ripple effect of inflation take time to affect all sector of economy

I'm not wrong. Someone who bought a land for 1.9m in 2018 if in a strategic location can sell it much higher than 4.2m today.

However you look at it, whatever product you decide to use as an example, you arrive at the same result.

How much was a plot of land selling in your area in 2018? How much is it now?

Again, only idiots put money in bank accounts. I don't know why you guys keep bringing that up as if its evidence of anything.

I'm not asking you not to buy dollar and keep, I'm just letting you know you're not actually making money if you have to convert it to naira to spend. The money you think you have made is just paper money. All you did is keep up with inflation

End of discussion

GeneralZodd:
Jealousy and Envy. Which business you wan do in today's Nigeria wey go give you 500k profit in less than 6weeks ?

Lol @bolded

1. Many stocks have returned more in the last 6 weeks.

2. Buy a fast moving product from China, sell for double or even tripple of your buying cost on Jumia.

Pearl1910:
Still better off than someone who had the 1.8m and kept it in Naira.
However u want to twist and turn it. It's still a better way to keep your money if the exchange rate will keep going up.

Wrong.

Keeping money in naira denominated assets is not the same as keeping naira in the bank. A share of Zenith bank was less than 15 naira in 2020. Last I checked, it was 34 naira. Not to mention the dividends that would have accrued.

rezzy:
Abeg When?

A God. I collected 180k but i gave my sister that time because i didn't need it. Though she had started paying 8500 monthly. She started last month.

Abeg, let me enter bank tomorrow and withdraw my savings.

So you don't plan to use any bank account ever again?

pope191:
But if the money is in naira, it wouldn’t have been able to buy same thing. So mostly it like having peace of mind. Using your money for business still supersede keeping them needlessly.

Of course, only an idiot will keep money in the bank in today's Nigeria. I hardly have any serious money in cash just lying around in the bank.

Once you make money, tie it down with something that can either keep up with inflation or beat it.

I'm just letting him realise he's not actually making as much money as he thinks he is.

GeneralZodd:
Yeah bro . I saw the future alot of people doubted it on this platform. There is an African proverb that goes: “What an old man can see sitting down, the young chaps cannot see standing up.” .

Investment of $5,700 has given me #500,000 naira profit in 1month and few weeks without sweating and working for it. Mega passive income.

No bank or Ponzi scheme can give such interest. Thank God I sticked to my decision. Alot of peeps here wanted to discourage me, but I remained adamant and resolute.

This only makes sense if you'll eventually spend the foreign currency you're keeping.

Make the mistake of converting it to naira to spend and inflation has eaten up all your "gains".

E.g, If you had converted 1.9m to dollar and kept in a domiciliary account in 2018 when it was 360 naira to a dollar, you convert it at 800 today and make 4.2m naira, the only thing it will buy is the same 2005 foreign used corolla it would have bought in 2018.

The best you'll do is keep up with inflation. You're not making any money in actual terms.
