DomPerignon:
Literate , where is the lie?

Atiku can not deputise for Obi because Atiku can't be sworn-in as VP.

Obi will either submit to Atiku or leave the party and go try his luck with ZLP.

DomPerignon:
Atiku can't run as VP as the constitution barrs anyone from being sworn-in twice as either President/ Governor or VP/Deputy Governor.

Obi will have to accept being Atiku's running mate under LP.

What stops you from making your own noise to gain relevance so you can be recognised?

Okay.. I'm just thinking out loudly here..

I have had many instances personally where I tried to recharge my own line through by banks (not Opay and Moniepoint - those ones are very sharp with transactions).. and had failed transactions but I would be too busy to start going to the bank immediately to start claiming 500 or 1000 failed Debit. (Note I did not say 500 or 1k is too small to go and claim).

Then after a while it's forgotten. I know I'm not alone in this. Also sometimes, some transactions are debited and the customer may not be disposed to do the due follow-up to claim the transaction.

The right thing for these banks to do is to automatically reverse all failed transactions to the Source Account. Regardless of whether the Customers come to the Banking Hall Physically or not to request reversal, or whether they do so via the Mobile Apps (majority of these Bank Apps do not have these features. Kudos to the digital Banks such as Opay, Moniepoint for taking care of this)..

With the recent upgrade done by some of the commercial banks, some of the banks had customers that had failed transactions and instead of simply doing a reversal to the source accounts, the banks won't do that but expect the customers to come Physically to the Banking Hall customer service Unit to initiate a reversal. Not all customers would be disposed to do this.

That led me to the question.. what happens to all the failed transactions that are unclaimed at the end of the day. The CBN needs to come to the aid of common Nigerians by making it mandatory for the Banks to reverse all failed transactions to the Source Accounts within 48 hours.. in which failure to do so would lead to necessary penalties.

Those in the know should please educate us on what the Banks eventually do with these customers' monies in failed transactions that are unclaimed.

It's no longer news that the Power grid is down for the 10th time this year alone, and it's now looking like a new reality, amongst many, we have to get used to..

It's almost like we, as a country, just live for the moment. Nobody asks questions, nobody calls anyone to account, about what has happened even in the immediate past..🤔

I remember how Ajuri Ngelale and co, when he worked with Buhari as Special Assistant, used to regaled us with stories of how the Siemens Deal was the next best thing after jollof Rice for the Power sector in Nigeria.

We even at a point lost a Chief of Staff during CoVid who was said to be on a trip to Germany to seal that Siemens Deal where he caught the virus..

Now my question is, what has happened to the Siemens Deal, why is nobody talking about it any longer?! We even heard some of their mega generators and transformers arrived the country sometime years back, what has happened to them now.. 🤔🤔🤔
