This is really not looking good. How did things get this bad quickly between El-Rufai and his political son, Governor Uba Sani?

Now I see why El-Rufai is looking towards another party. Things seems to have broken down completely at the home front. President Bola Tinubu should please step in and try negotiate a truce. This is not good for APC.

It is very good for APC.Elrufai is too proud and his decision to reject the intervention of Mr President when he was dropped in the Senate is going to hurt him politically beyond redemption.

I am curious, how and why? Shouldn't an increase in the value of the naira benefit people who want to study and live abroad?

some people have borrowed and sold properties over #30m,with an exchange rate of #2000 are going to struggle for at least 10 years to raise #30m with an exchange rate of #700.

ednut1:
there are two of my friends in my dm. I am explaining the situation in canada to them. They are not listening. One just got admission in a school in Canada. He has no money but wants us his friends to contribute 500 to 1k each for him. I told him how will he survive as hustle jobs no dey. He said God will provide

I think the current exchange rate that is deceiving most of them.If gbp fall to around #700 this year,which is very possible,so many Nigerians in the UK are going to be in big mess.

Once you start hearing this kind of statement from a sitting governor,just know he is about to ditch his godfather,or has done so already.I
knew Elrufai was already out of favour from the governor that's why he has been moving from one meeting to another with opposition leaders.

Dem don really cast

Most of our people online are not always truthful.If you can secure a tech job before u move to Canada,you are going to be okay.

jedisco:


Afford and not wanting to or seeing the value in are different things.

A trip to Nigeria costs me 1.5k pounds in ticket alone. Not considering money spent when I'm home and the endless number of people needing help. After a while, you just get tired of the whole system. For a family, it's even worse. Kids would standout due to their accent making them targets, you'd need to virtually make plans for every comfort and security your need.

I'd spend far less for a holiday to some of the best destinations in the world and the experience would be much better. Many times, I ask myself why I still return.



Why are they buying homes abroad? How many British businesses men resident in the UK have homes is Nigeria?

Which security arrangements do you need to travel to Nigeria?I hosted two persons from UK and europe in January and February this year,we never needed security to move around.What accent are your children speaking that is strange? I reside in Benin City and people coming from abroad is not a big deal to us.I only agree with the problem of people wanting financial help due to the current economic situation in the country.

Generally,most Nigerians in the UK are broke.
The UK is overrated and I don't see anything special in that country.If you want enjoy abroad go US or Australia.

Natbrowny:
Its like naija.

Jobs dont just fly around in UK.
U will attend interviews and if u r qualified n accepted. U'll be invited for a chat

Pending then, look for something menial to do to keep ur soul from breaking down. Those kinda job require little to no interview.

White collar over there, u must be good that's if dem no still discriminate racially..

UK and Canada don cast for almost a year now, don't let anybody deceive you.I know three close persons who entered Canada January,no job till now.Even the cleaning is no longer easy to get again.

EreluRoz:
She should come back, why is she stressing her life in a foreign land

somebody that may have borrowed millions of naira and may be sold her properties to Japa,you want her to comeback home?

Usefulsense:


I saw it. It has been in the news

Congratulations on your move to Australia.It is
a good thing to move to Aussie.Aussie is perhaps among the top 3 best country to reside in the world.I don't think it's necessary to compare your salary in Nigeria and Aussie.

The current exchange rate is the reason why a cleaner or warehouse worker abroad is better than earning over #1m in Nigeria.Anyway,what ever any of us decide to do,I wish everyone here success.

LocalFARMERS:


In the year 2000, a Cow this size is not up to 100k

you nor talk 30k.2014 here the biggest cow in Benin city was around #150k

I doubt this your news,it was around #1300 this afternoon.I know the USD is going to crash in the coming weeks,but i doubt it was exchanged for #1000 today.

I predicted 600-700 for USD in February on this platform and I still stand by that value.
It's not because Tinubu is an idiot or he is wicked that we had 1800 per dollar exchange rate,it's simply because of the inherited FX backlog that they just cleared.even the 600 is not the best we can do as a nation.something around 450 by next year should be our target.

going for childhood friend graduation is not even a valid reason for usa visit visa. You are not his parents , spouse or sibling.

This man you are always direct and mostly truthful.What is happening in UK and Canada?my guys who went there in the last 7months are not finding there easy at all.

Lack of morale is the major reason our security agencies are unable to deal decisively with this issue.

Wetin him want lie for? na govt work him dey do?

I am happy nobody was hurt physically in this
affair.marriage is not a do or die affair.

State police is not the solution to our current security challenges.At least 80% of security breaches in Nigeria is linked to the current economic situation in the country.Economic crime can not be resolved by state police.

The problem of lack of funding, equipments and man power cannot be resolved by state police.Not more than 4 states in Nigeria can adequately fund state policing.

I pray the road get fixed in the six months promised.That road has been hell for more than 10 years now.

$2250 per month is his income if you calculate by the estimated pay he is telling us in the video.south Korea is not a cheap place to live and he can't do that job everyday without rest and break from the construction site.I don't think he can save more than $700 every month working solely this Job.

It's the current exchange rate that is making jobs like this attractive.Even an exchange rate 600 per USD may discourage educated people earning #300k and above here from taking this kind of job offer.

Finally,i don't have any problem with those that want to japa from Nigeria.If na $500 you fit save monthly for abroad doing legit hustle,
it's not bad,as far as you find fulfilment.

It's normal in d militaries of leading countries
for officers to engage in this kind of act.

The Democrats should know that this is not the way to stop Trump. Meet the man at the polls and beat him like every other candidate. Trump just makes a lot of noise; I don't see how he tends to beat Joe Biden.

He is

Will Oshiomhole and his people back him considering the bad blood from the primary election?

I don't know how they think they can win the election like this.

TheCeasar:
just dey play, oga nobody likes denco except maybe his local government counterparts..

Ize iyamu had to step down because of oshiohmole stupidity and collapsed his structure for Monday..

Now oshiohmole has been disgraced don't worry with or without oshiohmole APC will still win calm down..

Oshiohmole stupidity led to his downfall, same thing happened to his chairmanship removal, same thing happened to his handling of obaseki in 2020..

He's too rash headed and not cool calculated as tinubu

I have been a consistent supporter of APC since 2006.I wrote here some days ago that I am member of POI group for many years now,i know what happened and i don't need any validation here.We know what is going in the party.POI, lucky Imasuen, collected money from okpebholo and we know how much they collected.Okpebholo is first person i supported last year before POI declared his intention to contest.I don't have any problem with okpebholo emerging as the candidate,my problem is this approach of trying to embarrass oshiomhole by all means possible is wrong will be counterproductive during the election in September.

Whoever is the person behind this okpebholo project, should be ready to massively rigg him into power.Those results are not the true reflection of what happened in the Field yesterday.Even as governor oshiomhole has a record of people he supports losing primaries.
The only difference here,is there is this agenda to embarrass him by all means possible.I don't mind senator okpebholo winning the ticket. I
think trying to embarrass oshiomhole by all means is a wrong approach and it's going to be counterproductive in the forthcoming elections.

It's a stale news,the fresh primary election held today and i think the results will be declared later tonight.Some places started very late that's the reason for the delay.It seems oshiomhole still prevailed as i earlier predicted.

Edo State PDP Gubernatorial Election Update
OGBEIDE IHAMA STEP DOWN FOR ASUEN IGHODALO

where in the statement did he say he stepped down for Asue? Obaseki has triumphed there is no need for lies.

garfield1:


Exactly but there's an issue.the urban lgas of the south like Oredo,Egor,ikpoba,orhiomnwon will vote massively against APC.the esan will vote massively against APC.apc might not recover from such deficit with Edo north and ovia votes.the best thing is to field an esan candidate so that esan and bini votes divide

Who told u the urban areas will vote massively against Denco?Esan vote is small.the total votes from Esan in a free and fair election is not more than 70k.APC can conveniently get 15% of Esan votes.LP and PDP share the remaining 85% between them.

Dennis is easily going to win in the 2 ovia lgas,orhionmwon,and even uhunwode Lgas.
He is going to get at least 40% votes in the remaining Edo south Lgas.His deputy is going to come from Edo north(most likely Akoko Edo). Dennis Idahosa has shown he is a very good campaigner and he has a likeable personality.I have been in several meetings as longtime supporter of POI,and i can tell you he was very confident that he was the next governor if APC gave him ticket.

Asue is not popular,and i don't know why you guys here on nairaland think there is anything special about him.I repeat Oshiomhole made the mistake of revealing his card few days the shadow poll.He told the leaders in several meetings he had no preferred candidate.I am from Edo south and i know 90% of those opposing Idahosa is from Edo south.They are angry that oshiomhole didn't allow them pick one of them since the ticket was zone to Edo south.

Indispensable85:




APC doesn't stand a chance without the support of Oshiomhole. Fact! But he doesn't seem to much about political calculations.

I guess he's looking for loyalty instead of easy winning. He's not comfortable with Okpebholo bcoz he's a mentee of anenih. Oshiomhole is a very selfish leader. He'll soon lose his respect in the party if not already.

Again I think there are forces in the presidency backing Okpebholo.

That's not true,there are no forces in the presidency supporting okpebholo.I have been in Ize iyamu political camp for many years now and i know what happened behind the scene.Oshiomhole made a mistake by not unveiling Idahosa on time.Ize iyamu,Lucky Imasuen, decided to form alliance and support okpebholo few days to the shadow, because they felt betrayed oshiomhole overlooked them 4 a "small boy".

I still see Dennis Idahosa emerging as the candidate of the party.No politically inclined President like Tinubu is going to choose anybody over oshiomhole in APC Edo.

That's not reason oshiomhole want Idahosa over okpebholo.Idahosa is a far better candidate than okpebholo.PDP and LP are going to share their votes from esan land making it easy for Dennis Idahosa to win the elections.Idahosa can easily win 4lgas in Edo south,and 5 in Edo north to become governiof Edo state.The reason for the opposition to Dennis is because oshiomhole let it too late to unveil him as his preferred candidate.He should have unveiled him at least 3weeks to the primary,and build consensus of most leaders in Edo south before the shadow poll.

Oga,the results being announced on tele is far more authentic and credible than the handwritten results from uzodinma

It
is the results announced by d committee 4rm
the nwc that is the authentic result.There is no
Court in Nigeria that is going to validate the
senator's results.whether this is going to affect APC or not is a matter of time.

Indispensable85:




Technically yes, but again whoever the NWC adopts is the candidate of the party. I think the NWC is with hope uzodinma/Oshiomhole's group from the statement issued by Felix Moorka.

Even the courts can't help them either, once the NWC takes a stand, it's over. The SC will tell you it's a party affair. I think Denco will be the candidate eventually but whether he'll win it's another thing.

The luck the APC will have is the intervention of Mr President. He might be able to bring them together before the election proper.

Dennis Idahosa is the candidate of APC.Its who the committee sent by nwc announces as winner is the authentic candidate of the party.The supreme Court has ruled on this matter on many occasions.Its the nwc that has the power to conduct party primary.the phony results you were seeing on live TV earlier by somebody not appointed by the nwc,is the hand work of Lawrence okah(state secretary)in conjunction with POI and lucky Imasuen.They are angry oshiomhole is picking a "small boy" ahead of them.
