Congratulations to Egypt.

Egypt is building a 4-unit nuclear reactor. Construction of the first unit began in July 2022, and the whole 4 units are expected to come online in 2026 - a timeline of 4 years.

We hope our own government emulates them, so that we would stop building 80km roads over a period of 10 years.

Once again, congratulations to Egypt.

The line of reasoning I see in the comment by the Minister is shameful.

It is like saying that when I pay your debts, I did not give you money because you did not get the money in your account first.

It is either the Minister is an idiot or he is trying to mislead Nigerians into blaming the ones that are actually keeping the economy going.

These importers they blame are the ones keeping citizens alive while government does nothing. They are the ones that import medical laboratory equipment as well as their spare parts, manufacturing equipment, vehicles, spare parts, drugs, etc. The government does not do that. Even prepaid meters that should be provided by government is provided for by these importers.

Now these importers are supposed to source their forex from banks through the CBN. Except they can't. Because the CBN would not give them the forex they need. Any forex that gets to CBN end up in the hands of top APC politicians and their cronies, like the First Ladies, Dangote et al.

So who do the Nigerian importers turn to? These Fintechs. These Fintechs mop up diaspora remittances from Nigerians abroad, then credit the accounts of beneficiaries in Nigeria. They then use the forex they mopped up to satisfy the demands of these Nigerian firms crowded out of our financial system by these silly politicians. These firms pay them in Naira, so the Fintechs recoup their local currency. Rinse and repeat...
Infact, these Fintechs are the patriotic ones. What I expected the Minister to brainstorm about is on how to retrieve the massive amounts of dollars stacked in politicians' personal vaults. These are the vaults they open up when elections come, or when they want to bribe INEC staff or judges. The bribe recipients then stack it in their own personal vaults too. We all heard about the dollars used to bribe delegates during the APC and PDP presidential primaries.
Those monies stacked in personal vaults are the reason why there is shortage of Naira cash on circulation, and shortage of forex in the market. That is what the Minister should work on, not casting aspersions on patriotic Nigerians solving the problems their government created.

adamusuleiman2:
This is how politics is played everywhere in the world. APC is playing politics just as it would have been if the tables were turned. Pat Utomi is no pushover. He brought Peter Obi into Labour party.

This is Reno Omokri, posing as an Adamu suleiman.

I find it worrisome that a Magistrate decides to denigrate the way of life of over 40 million people based on her personal senses.

Native laws and customs are law, and can be adjudicated on by customary courts.

She is overreaching and needs to be cautioned. She can make her judgement without casting those aspersions.

KLEINBASS:
I have always said nigerian community in south africa is killing each other. Their barbaric and nigerians in Nigerians think their innocent and South Africans are bad one. Nigerians in south africa live like animals

Recheck the report. The suspects are not Nigerians.

All these politicians you mentioned emerged by selection, not by popular mandate, and if anyone knows that, it's Fubara.

That whole lot are replaceable, please. Don't sweat it.

Wike's waterloo came when he blatantly rewrote the Rivers State presidential results. That single activity robbed him of all the goodwill he enjoys.

Biodun556:
What Fubara did to Wike, Jonathan also did same to Obasanjo

In my opinion, when a godfather finances you and makes you a governor, you need a lot of patience before you can maneuver.

When Jonathan became president with the assistance of Obasanjo, he ignored Obasanjo and chose those who didn't know how he emerged as president. As a result, he could not win second term.

Fubara knowing fully well that all state assembly members, local government chairmen even his commissioners are loyal to Wike why allowing his ijaw leaders to mislead him?

Clearly, they were used as human shields by Hamas terrorists.

May their souls find peace.

Sounds impossible. But I know someone whose fingerprints change continuously.

A bank has generated BVN so many times for him. None of them is verifiable as his fingerprint still keeps changing. Normally, it's not possible under the current system to have multiple BVNs.

All attributable to a ring he wears on a finger in his left hand.

Kobojunkie:
Stop telling these useless tales abeg!

What line of work is this person in?

She that does not know, and does not know that she does not know.

The ideology is simple. PO has stated it a good number of times.

There is nothing wrong with borrowing. But we would not borrow to find recurrent expenditure.

Secondly, there is a need for frugality in the use of public resources.

Those expenditures should be such as to improve production and/or HDI.

LegendHero:
I thought when Buhari was borrowing for rail line, all of you condemned him that Nigeria is borrowing too much to the extent that Peter Obi even claimed infrastructure cannot help the economy.

So what suddenly change during Otti period?

—If Peter Obi ideology is “No borrowing” and most Obedient support it.

—Otti ideology is mass borrowing and most obedient support him.

What exactly is the Obedient ideology? To borrow or not to borrow?

phemray:
Am suspecting something I predicted is about to be happening, Tinubu boys with strategy are about to shake table.

Atiku vs Tinubu on Chicago= politics

PT vs Atiku = go to court.

Maybe PT has done some underground findings but they want him to present them something so that it becomes a legal document, if u download from internet and not signed or acknowledge by Atiku it's not biding.

This flight will be interesting, we are on standby. Lolzz

More binding than his submission to INEC on oath?

They have nothing. They are just trying to splash mud all around.

Damn!!!

Nlfpmod!!!!

This feels like water in the desert.

Thumbs up, Ilegendd. Will keep this in mind...

Atiku is 100% right.

They had a plethora of options in getting and verifying the documents requested.

All the documents they talked about, are in the public domain, with INEC, and the the bomboklaats could get them with a simple FOI request, and then move on to verify them.

They did none of that, but rushed to publish a sensational report on Atiku.

Atiku did not write to Tinubu to provide his results. He simply took what Tinubu submitted to the public, and went to verify. Tinubu actively began blocking the verification efforts which led Atiku to court, and the rest is history.

The report by PT is shameful. That's not journalism.

Ikaeniyan0:
Burkina Faso military president should focus on improving the life of the people and leave all this chidish stuffs.

Tell that to Tinubu.

The Hanukkah celebration this week looks to be a very good one.

More grease to the elbows of the grand IDF soldiers doing the Lord's work.

I sincerely hope nobody is taking financial advice from a paid online propagandist.

The memo from NIBSS is nothing political and has nothing whatsoever to do with the President.

If anything, NIBSS is fighting to ensure it does not lose its position in the financial ecosystem.

Granted, there is the need for adequate protection of depositor funds by the apex bank CBN (not NIBSS, it's not their job), and the post by the op puts it in perspective.

FreeStuffsNG:
About 32 financial institutions with either super agent, switching company or payment solution service provider (PSSP) licenses will be delisted with immediate effect from the NIBSS NIP (NIBSS Instant Payments) list.

The order to delist is with immediate effect and you will not see some of them any more when you want to do outflow from your own bank account.

Why? this brilliant policy by the Asiwaju Tinubu-led administration of brilliant, competent and patriotic Nigerians serves the fundamental purpose of safeguarding customer funds by entrusting them to entities duly licensed and certified to handle such transactions.

This policy has the potential to stop the hacking and stealing of huge multibillion naira funds from accounts of innocent bank customers of the DMBs like Access bank, Fidelity bank etc then moving them into those fintechs that don't use NUBAN first before dissipating.

You can now only move funds out from those fintechs, you can no longer receive outflows from banks until you collaborate with those with the license to accept deposits.
Great job by NIBSS. May God bless Nigeria for ever! Check my signature for free stuffs!

The man just made some shocking revelations.

First of all, it is clear BAT just poured $15bn down the drain.

Secondly, the man has no intention to fix Nigeria. He just wants to create the appearance of trying to do so.

Thirdly, the refinery won't work. Not this month. Not next month.

Four, any crude oil allocated to the refinery is wasted. Only a little amount of PMS will be produced from it. The rest go into polluting the environment in PH.

The little PMS produced will require addition of lead to be usable. Meanwhile, engines of today use unleaded PMS.

There was a better option for repairs, but BAT chose this path!

Make of this analysis, what you will.

Front page material.

There's no excusing murder.

And while we're condemning murder, we need to draw the ears of Nigerian women that use Western laws to frustrate and emasculate their men. As much as those laws appear to be on the side of women, there is no force on earth that can protect anyone against a loved one fixated on exacting his/her pound of flesh, especially when natural justice is on his/her side, only God.

If you want to divorce a man, do it without taking away his dignity and his family. They're all a man lives for. Don't give him a cause to die for.

Haba!!

Nothing to see here. It's just a female officer helping her female protege out with a mundane task.

Just like a male officer would help the governor brush off a spider web.

Nothing to worry about here.

Atiku called them out over their political racketeering that ensured his company got no contracts since 2015.

Is this their response?

Lame. While we do not hold flags for Atiku's companies, we have been calling the APC administration out on the hardship imposed on the masses. We have seen no improvement yet.

Not like we are surprised. We know that even the most evil person will have the capacity to do a little good. And we have been hoping to see that little good in APC.

But till now, nothing.

O God, please save us from APC, we beg.

MzansiCoolio:
Your lack of reading skills is even more appalling - when did i mention biblical history because i clearly stated 80 years, which dates back to the 1940s.

The whole world has agreed there should be a two-state solution to attain peace in that region and yet Israel continues to grab land meant for a future Palestinian state. And then you all wake up like dummies on some October 7 Saturday crying terrorism when all along Israel had been terrorizing Palestinians. Nonsense!

Imagine the bile being spewed by this xenophobe.

First of all, the Hamas you support made a speech in SA few days ago, where they once again rejected a two-state solution. So it would appear you're living in delusion. You should be the one paying more attention to and improving your reading culture.

Secondly, if you care about the wellbeing of Palestinians, you should tell your terrorist friends to channel their aid money into building a stable and growing economy for Gaza, and not looking for weapons to kill Israeli civilians.

Lastly and more importantly, SA has been carrying on as if they can do without their African brothers. They kill Zimbabweans for flimsy reasons, kill Nigerians too for other flimsy reasons and so on and so forth. African governments are mostly terrible at governance that they are too busy quenching fires at home. Thus they have paid little attention to SA.

If Nigeria decides to take on SA, even with our dysfunctional system and terrible leadership, we would easily bring the useless ANC to their knees. From MTN, Multichoice etc to ShopRite and others, your foolish ANC officials will queue up in Abuja to beg.

Focus on that, and leave Israel alone. They are not your enemy. When push comes to shove, they will be the ones protecting you from terrorists like Hamas.

He did the right thing at the right time.

You BAT urchins should move on to another topic, please.

Someone should explain something to me, please.

They burnt tonnes of marijuana in a public place, openly, for the people of Kano to inhale the smoke?And they actually stood there and inhaled the smoke too?

🤣🤣🤣

Unless what they burnt was not marijuana.

Good riddance...

As Senatorial candidate under PDP in the last elections, she didn't even stand a chance against Victor Umeh of LP.

Now she wants to move to APC? She didn't see Accord Party or even AAC? Her choice. We in Anambra respect freedom of association.

We would however not accept leadership by organizations like the APC.

Some things are sacrosanct and are causes for which any Anambra man will willingly lay down his life for the State.

Resisting handing over of the State to APC as it is presently constituted is one of them.

Farewell, Madame. Come back home when you realize the error of your ways.

I repeat, it's all about RESTRAINT - something you know nothing about.

And you hypocrites keep going on about Israel bombing schools etc.

When Hamas fired 5000 rockets into Sderot, what exactly were they targeting? Was it not civilians?

The Nigerian military you talk of has been known to level whole villages because one soldier was killed. Yet you're here calling Israel out? Stop being a hypocrite. They are even being too nice.

As for Iran, I can only laugh. We both know that Israel has capabilities to flatten out Tehran. Just a few warheads and the war is over. However, it still comes down to emotional maturity. And the respect for human lives. Israel has never even threatened any ME state with nukes.

Again, after the ground attack on Gaza, Hezbollah with all their boasting is yet to do anything in Northern Israel. Iran, nothing. Where are all the touted Arab countries that will attack Israel?

Hint: They all want to make peace now.

You say Israel will do nothing without the US? Fine. That's wisdom. Learn it, too.

But remember, the day they can no longer afford interceptors for the Iron Dome, they will do the only thing left to do. Clean out the aggressors. Israel there to stay, and they're going nowhere. Not in this life. Not in the next. And if any terrorist like you feel otherwise, feel free to get into the tunnels too. You'll be smoked like the others soon enough.

Emu4life:

U go confess by yourself. Israel is just a Western Contraption and is nothing without the West.
They are receiving $18bn annually from the US government and other billions from Western Countries.
Even before the current invasion of Gaza (a City), they had to beg US for $10bn with a further $13bn which the US Senate blocked.
Its been 2-Months since Israel has been carrying out indiscriminate bombing of schools, residential areas, hospitals, killing infants, Old people and even people in ICU and Oxygen. Yet, Hamas had to release Israeli hostages?
Even the Nigerian Military will do better with such amount of foreign aid
Israel is overated, Hezbollah fought them to a Stand Still in 2007.
You are also talking about Iranians grazing a US house when the US Military posted pictures of an Airbase in rubbles? Beside, Trump threatened to "send 2 Trillion dollar equipment" to finish Iran if an ant or property of US is damaged by Iran, he did nada, last I checked.
Trump recently complained of Netanyahu Cowardly backing out during the planned assassination of an Iranian General.

In the early 2000s, a US Military veteran and Presidential Aspirant (General Wesley Clark) (I have the video if you doubt) revealed how the US planned to invade; Iraq, Syria,Lebanon, Somalia, Libya, Sudan and ending with Iran. Last time I checked, these Countries have been invaded by the US except of course, Iran. Shoe get Size na

The US will not attack Iran because of Israel, it will be detrimental to thier assets and military in the Middle East, but this is what Israel want, for US&EU to fight Iran not them
I don't expect you to understand this though because you seem to have been brainwashed by CNN, BBC, FOX and other Western media.

And to clear your mind, no uprising in Iran as the Western media has brainwashed you to believe. The post you see on Twitter aren't necessarily Iranians because twitter isn't supported in Iran.

Israel should stop begging for help from Western Countries and deal with its problem.
It's not only about bombing Ak-weilding hatred-filled Orphans

Watcharena:
if you talk about kindness hamaS has shown more kindness to prisoners under their control than idf show to the hostages held in Israeli prisons

Kindness is not what you do for the camera. It's what you do behind it.

It is shown by the fact that Israel can annihilate millions of Palestinians in a day if they want to. Yet they don't. They even provide them with fuel, electricity and water. Heaven won't fall if they decide not to. Yet they do. To Palestinians that celebrate the murder of Jews.

That is kindness.

If Hamas were kind, they would not hide in tunnels and let their people die. They'd stand and take those bullets for their people.

Also contrast it with Tinubu that cut off power to Niger because he doesn't support their leadership. Till today. Not a care about their hospitals nor about their survival. You can decide who is kinder. I leave your conscience to do that.

LifeofDream:
But same US with her allies ran away against Vietnam farmer with AK-47, suffering hundreds of thousand casualties...

You think this is Hollywood?? 😂

But you're the one referencing Hollywood here.

What Israel and US know that you don't is this - they know that with the power they wield comes responsibility. Thus they show restraint.

Clearly, you don't have that capacity, just like your mentor - Iran.

No other country would invest in the Iron Dome like Israel did. They'd rather spend that money annihilating the source of the irritation.

Therein lies your answer.

Just remember - kindness is not weakness.

Watcharena:
you said Israel does not threaten Iran,may be you have no been following he events in middle all the Israeli prime minister s have threaten to destroy Iranian nuclear facility more times than there number of time they have slept with their wives , they even increase their defence budget in preparation for the attack they also bought refueling air vehicles for the attack, they also rehearse many times yet no action.


Like some body has said earlier their may be something Israel and US know about Iran that we don know.


You said again the masses in Iran are standing against the Islamic regime but you failed to acknowledge that there are more protest in Israel than in Iran.


Again Iran is at peace back home but Israel can never sleep with their two eyes close knowing they're sleeping on someone else's land and the resistance groups that are ready to confront them

Emu4life:
Oga, you know nothing about the Middle East. Early this year, the Iranian Airforce bombed CIA/MOSSAD facility in Iraq, but you didn't see this on CNN, BBC, FOX etc. You sit behind your TV, watch shitty propaganda filled western media and come tell me about the Middle East. What do you know about the middle east apart from what you read on Google?
Trump complained recently about Benjamin Netanyahu Cowardly backing out after they planned the Assassination of the Iranian General.
Israel will never attack Iran on it's own. All they wanted is to drag the US into it. Netanyahu has been running from Germany, UK to France just so they would get involved. Meanwhile, Europe is still holding to the Nuclear deal even when US backed out cuz it has a clause that limits Irans Missile program to 2000 mile and capable of striking Europe. Europe developed the INSTEX payment platform to aid non-dollar trade with Iran after US banned it from SWIFT.

Iran is holding your big boys by the balls yet you guyz are yapping dust.

Iran had to fire how many missiles before they could graze one building in Iraq. Iraq that shares a border with them. They even hit their own commercial aircraft in the process. And you are telling us Europe is scared of Iranian missiles? Are you even listening to yourself? NATO is playing ping pong with Russia and yet the same NATO is scared of Iran?
The West is being quiet now because it's becoming clearer that the Islamic regime has a lot to fear from their own people at present. There's no need fighting for now. Iranians are rising up to the Islamic regime by the day, and will sooner or later have what it takes to topple the dictator Khamenei.

Lol, you need some schooling. Stop listening to Presstv and Aljazeera. They are just propaganda machines. Long after Baghdad fell to US back then, that's how they were still airing about how Iraq is standing up to US 🤣🤣🤣.

Emu4life:
. All these are explanations. Doesn't negate my statement.
Besides, Iranians have been waking up since 1979. You think they will ever forget when the whole World turned back against them and supported Sadam Hussain's carnage against them? They remember that incident annually.

The US and Israel have all played thier best games to see chaos in Iran but the Persians aren't stupid. You can keep deceiving yourself but Iran is already becoming a Country that people can only criticize and do nothing about, just like China.

Lol, you're just shifting goalposts.

You first said Israel is scared of attacking Iran. We pointed out the error of your thoughts to you.

Now you say that Iran is becoming a country no one can do anything about. Lol. Just like you guys said Israel dare not invade Gaza, that Iran would attack and Hezbollah would do this and that. Now Hamas is busy begging up and down for a ceasefire and for fuel. If Israel ignores them for 2 more weeks, they will all have to leave those tunnels and come outside and then get what's coming to them. And Iran is sitting down there doing NOTHING. Do you blame them? They know Israel and US will not hesitate to clear their doubts.

You should know that too. So, when would you face up to reality and stop all these propaganda?

Iran doesn't share a border with Israel. And they have always used proxies. So Israel won't attack directly too.

Israel doesn't threaten Iran. Iran however, has been looking for any opportunity to attack Israel. If Iran believes they are really as strong as you think they are, they should fire just one missile at Israel. Just one.

Meanwhile, the Iranian people are waking up now. They are beginning to realize that their enemy is not Israel. The football match where they asked the Palestinians to shove their flags up their @**s is very eye-opening.

Wake up, propagandist. You're the one who's not seeing clearly.

Emu4life:
Reverse is the case actually. Israel doesn't think twice before attacking Syria, Lebanon, Palestine etc but whenever it involves Iran, all they do is Cry to US and EU seeking help and sanctions on Iran.
Question is, can't they invade Iran like they have been doing to weaker States even when they know Iran is the genesis of their travails?

Seems the Isreali and US intelligence know more than you.

How does the issuer of a currency print the same currency "illegally"?

I hope Soludo is not losing it.
