And this same govt. is ready to give those people going to hajj an extra $203 dollars for each dollar they buy at 197. And they say they are technically in recession. Nigeriatric is d only country that sponsors people on pilgrimage. Pilgrimage should be personal.

When will Obaseki start talking for himself now. Abi osho baba dey run 4 3rd term wey someone no tell us ni.

Jimoh Ibrahim is what they call in d western world an asset stripper. A venture capitalist. By d time he finishes wit ondo state, he would not only be a proper billionaire but would leave d state in ruins. Everything he has touched has gone under.

@alfa

U are not getting d argument. The party being d custodian of all votes cast has chosen Bello as their choice. If they choose a goat as their choice that goat gets d votes over Falake. It is a simple straight forward case. The supreme Court will not even wait 5 seconds b4 they throw dis case out 4 lackin locu standiiii.

@Mr jojo

DONALD TRUMP is running 4 Presidency not Governor? There is a lot of difference. If Dangote runs for Nigerian Presidency he would be d richest man in d world in 8 years time that I can tell u.

@aflame

Faleke should go and wash his head in a new age church or by some imam or better still in an ifa priest's temple. The election in which he and his principle where leading was classified as inconclusive. Thereby making and clearing d way for bello.

Can an inclonclusive deputy governorship candidate be declared d winner of an inconclusive process when we all know d party and not d individual is d final and sole beneficial of all d votes cast?

When u see a billionaire running for Governor. Make una know say e be one chance. A man that is busy making money would not abandone all that and say he wants to run for Governorship. Can u imagine Dangote or Adenuga abandonin their businesses for Kano and Ogun State.

His going to win at d Supreme Court. I wonder why they put candidates pictures on d voting sheet when we all know d votes belong to d party not individuals.

It is shameful when our comrade Alu-ta continuaaaa the former NLC chairman can result to this kind of Abacha - thievery.

If the Ghanaians can remove zeros when the cedis was 10000 to a dollar I don't see why we can't do d same. After all Zimbabwe abandoned their dollar for d US dollar.

I hope it is not ebola again. U guys go and check yourselves. Blood coming out his nose, eyes and all his orifices. I hope say e no eat bush meat recently.

Most of d men there are billionaires.

I think Asari Dokubo has already done that, d north don't have to focifully islamize Niger delta. Did u guys see d number of Muslim during his wife's burial d other day. I was like fuccccck where did these number of Muslim come from. E be like say Dokubo has use his position to turn many hungry Niger Deloan into d muslim camp.

If at all, if d Northerners has such plan they can do it by proxy by paying Dokubo to help them convert as many people as possible. Dokubo wey like money give him d right money b4 u say jacky-stone 90 % Bayelsans go Don become Muslims.

Funny enough d man as anchitect initiated and conceptualized some laudable project. The new Kaduna millenium city and bringing to fruition the reality of the fast train between Kadauna and Abuja. He was d brain or man behind this project. And today that project is fully accomplished.

He has played his part.

Even though as sad as it is our Governors performance so far during this civilian dispensation has being dismal especially in d second term I still believe vying for a second term is not only intriguing and exciting it ignites all politics from d ward level upwards.

It is always some kind of pay-day date for grass-root polticians who 9 out 10 times will take from Peter and take from Paul to d satisfaction of himself, family and community. 2nd term politics is d only time local people hold d poltical officer holder to ransome, such holders wI'll have to dig deep in order to satisfy semblance of d community or so it seems.

I believe as our democracy grows, our second term Governors will begin to deliver once institutions such as EFCC and ICPC are strengthened.

I say no to any one -term poltics, it would lead to dearth to any meaningful development as we know it. At least there is a strive to deliver in d first term that strive and effort will be lacking if we have a one term elective post.

Elections should be 2 terms or no more civilian polticis we might as well hand over to d military if we decide to jettison 2 term elective post in Nigeria.

The answers to the original posters question is here in ephesians 6:12

We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in high places.

One would have thought that a country like ours in d thick of battle in a war sitiuation would be high in d pecking order amongst nations with top capability. But alas that is not d case peaceful nations like ethopia and Egypt are way ahead of us. No wonder we are finding it difficult to dislodge the rag-tag bokoharamites.

The man no get igbo wife. If he has an igbo woman as a wife that woman would divorce him sharp-sharp.

I hope buratai house in dubai would also be recovered ...................oooops

This man work or is it chop till he drops. He was still an ambassador barely 12 months ago. Tell me when a man of his age has time to rest when he is still working at 70 years plus .Does he know what takes 4 an old man to get up every morning rushing to work.

Our people in Nigeria should observe that there is a retirement age 4 a reason.

Greedy octogenerians take note especially those still nursing ambition of being a Govern or, minister or an ambassador.

May be 200 billion Zimbabwe dollars?

I thought Nigeria only make 30 billion dollars a year on oil. That mans madame deziani must have stolen all money made in oil irrespective of d fact that this said income is divided every month between d 3 tiers of govt.

Haba, this lie pass lie?

Buhari went to Saudi Arabia as private citizens. How many private citizen gets welcomed d Gorvernor of Ryard. It is out of c outesy d Saudi sent someone to welcome him. Buhari was there 4 a lesser hajj.

What of Soludo's solution? Just remove the 2 zeros from 400 to 1 and it would become 4 to 1. Abi I lie, Ghana did d same thing.

Using Soludos method by removing the 2 zeros from 400. The new ecchange rate would be 4 Naira to 1 dollar. If Ghana can do it for her Cedis I don't see why Nigeria cannot do it to her Naira?

The Cedis b4 re-denomination was 10,000 to 1 dollar!!!

The truth must be told. Buhari cannot fight Govenors on his own side but d only mechanism that can stiffle corruption in d states is my deliberately distorting d value of d Naira through d central bank.

Governors need 400 million to get 1 million dollars. In such circumstances they have no option than to start working in their state.

Together with d BVN d 2 tier foreign exhange has dealth a big blow to would be corrupt Governors.

Abi wetin na think my people?

There are too many naira chasing to few dollars. Who are in d driving seats of these too many Naira, well if u would like to know Governors and other Poltical exposed thieves in power. The average Nigeria probably need about 500 dollars BTA when travelling.

But many of our Governors want to be instant millionares in dollars and d only way they can do it without d authorithies getting to know about it is for these Governors to sought that fund from d black market irrespective of d exchange rate.

The truth is that no hard working nigerian would want to exhange their Naira for 400 to 1. But the Governors and other Political expose persons spend funds allocated to them with wanton abundance knowing they did not sweat for this fund. Even if naira is 1000 to 1 these people with an instiable desire of becoming a millionaire in dollars would stop at nothing in other achieve this their wack, sick, and greedy plan.

I am 100 % in support of 2 tier exhange rate. It would reduce theft in d corridors of power. Let those that desire dollars desperately go to the black market.

Fayose that is screaming blue-mother has not done one thing in his state since sworn in. So I am not surprise he his a cry baby becos now he has to steal 400 naira to get 1 dollar in a time of dwindling allocation from the centre.

I think the 2 tier exhange system should be left as it is.

The 2 tier foreign exhange system is good. It would discourage theft especially by state Governors. They need 400 milion to get 1 million dollars. Any Governor that steals 400 million from their allocation it would blow open a big hole in d accounts. Inspite of this the Governors are still stealing huge Naira converting it to dollar hence d fall of d naira.

A point in time would come when they would not be able to do that again. I think we have not reach that threshold yet.

Mr moderator return post to poltics read d content b4 putting business section. It is in support of buhari.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Do the maths 40÷400=10

I think 1 dalasi is 10 naira.

How come the Gambian Dalasi has not fallen to 400 to one. The Gambian economy is also a monolithic economy based on tourism like d Nigerian economy. They have not yet diversify their economy yet it seems their currency appears to be stable. So what is going on in Naija. Dem cuz us!

Abi na demand & supply. So how come other countries are not so crazy about d green bucks like Naija. I suspect this insantiable demand for dollars is fueled by corrupt Governors and others who in a hurrid quest to become instant millionaires in dollars are converting huge naira in their possession into dollars no matter d rate. Or how else would any sane Nigerian that buys local products and consume local produce be interested in what is happening outside d country.

I am in support of this two tier exchange rate. People like Fayose screaming knows b4 he can steal 1 million dollars he has to convert 400 million naira into dollars. If he does that considering that what he gets from d federral govt has dropped, stealing 400 million from an allocation of 2.5 billion if not less would blow open a big whole in d account which would be visible even from outer space to say d least.

I am in support 100 % of d 2 tier exchange rate let those who require dollar desperately go and seek for it in d black market.

Nigeria is not d only country that operates such a system. Cuba also those so.

I think i have answered d question of why d Gambian dalasi has not fallen and d Naira seems to be going on jolly good ride into oblivion.
