This is serious. It's about time Governors, Senators, Religious and Political leaders, everyone join hands in finding a lasting solution to this menace.

PoliticsConstitutionally, Can Atiku Be Obi's Vice? by NewLife14(op):
I came across a thread where the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC asked the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar to run as the Vice Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress , ADC and allow Mr Peter Obi to be the party’s Presidential candidate for 2027 general polls grin here... https://www.nairaland.com/8573009/atiku-obis-deputy-adcs-only

Well, as funny as the suggestion appears, I decided to dig a little to ascertain if truly such a scenario is constitutionally acceptable.

I discovered that:
1) The Nigerian Constitution does not limit the number of times a person can run for or hold the office of Vice President, as long as they meet the basic eligibility criteria and are not disqualified by specific circumstances.
These conditions are:
-Citizenship: Must be a citizen of Nigeria by birth.
-Age: Must have attained the age of 40 years.
-Party Membership: Must be a member of a political party and sponsored by that party.
-Education: Must be educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.

2) The constitutional limit of two (2) terms are generally focused on the Presidential office, not the Vice Presidential role itself.

Atiku Abubakar served as Vice President from 1999 to 2007 (two terms). There is no constitutional provision that prevents a former Vice President from running for or serving in that same capacity again.

In as much as I find the idea of Atiku being Mr Obi's running mate ridiculous cheesy because it will be illogical for Atiku to do that considering he is the one who brought Obi into the NATIONAL political landscape, but based on the current Nigerian Constitution, Atiku Abubakar's previous tenure as a two-time Vice President DOES NOT disqualify him from seeking the Vice Presidency again.

However, I personally believe such an arrangement WILL NOT happen for many reasons grin cheesy.

Modified: Chapter VI, Part I, Section 137, Sub Sections 1 to 3 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended), which deals with the Federal Executive, explain the tenure of the President and not the Vice President.
NB: I am NOT a LAWYER of any sort. Just a concerned citizen.

Don’t blame them sir.

Most of them don’t even know or remember they own properties there.

None of those prominent men bought those properties. They were freely awarded when they were at the top for political patronage.

Matter of fact, over 70% of them will be surprised to see their names there. They will be like “was it El-Rufai or Bala that gave me?”
Lol... That's a good take.

Well, now that they've seen their names they should proceed and do the needful wink. I believe they'll be considered and the revocation reversed if they reach out. Thanks for this thoughtful feedback.

Indeed, different strokes for different folks. When I was single, my salary was N45,000, and although that sum had some value back then, I found no compelling reason to marry. However, under the same salary, I met a young woman who was serving as a corps member at the time. It was she who made me believe that marriage was possible, even with the meager salary I was earning. I am not one to beg or seek assistance, but before we knew it, I had accumulated a substantial fund for the wedding. Support came from various quarters, and thus we were wed. This all transpired seven years ago. As of now, my salary stands at N100,000, although I often earn significantly more through my side ventures. She only began a salaried position this year, earning slightly above N100,000. Throughout these seven years, we have weathered both sunny days and challenging times, as any couple does. Through all these, at least I have a car, two children, live in a quite decent 3 bedroom rented appartment. The choice of partner is of significant importance. If you can manage to live comfortably on N100k as a single man, it is certainly feasible to maintain tranquility with an exceptional and compatible woman who will support your growth. If you marry a zombie, the ones everywhere who suck blood and money like the few exes I met before meeting my wife, high BP will finish you if you try my style.
Beautiful input. May God continue to bless your home brother. Cheers!

Penalty for non-payment should not be revocation. As of today, most Banks do not accept valid FCT land title document as collateral for loans. They have seen that anything can happen under Wike's leadership
What do you suggest should be the penalty after several notices, reminders, warnings, publishing of defaults in national dailies and social media countless times.

Profer a better solution.
PoliticsRe: Danjuma, CBN, Others Lose Abuja Plots In FCTA's Mass Revocation by NewLife14(m):
It amazes me how these elites are the ones breaking this simple law. Pay your ground rent and other necessary fees provided for by law. It's that simple.

But NO, they rather default. Some have even been defaulting for 20, 30 years. Wow.
And these fees are peanuts o.
I wonder how these elite defaulters treat their staff and people around them. It's a pity.

I support Minister Wike on this 💯

peacenow:
With 100k, if you can make your money your slave and suffer for 5 years by saving 50% of your salary for 2 months and continue to invest 40k of your salary for the rest of 4 years and invest for five years and 10 months using a money market fund that pays an average of 17% per year, you can do it. See the calculation done in the compound interest calculator. When you have saved your account up to 2-3M, you can move half of your money to federal government savings bonds to invest by investing 1m 3 months consecutively, you will be paid on the 4th month and you will be paid monthly for 3 years if you invest on 3 years bond and your capital will be returned on expiration and you can start again.
Capital needed =N=100,000
Consecutive monthly investment = N 40,000/month for five years

You will now be earning 17% of ₦3,975,820.60 yearly, which is ₦675,889.4, and will be divided into 4 for you paid every 3 months, which is ₦675,889.4 divided by 4 = ₦168,972.35 every 3 months while your capital is there. You have bumped your annual salary from ₦1.2M to ₦1,875,889. Go into Stambic into any IBTC bank and tell them you want to invest in a money market fund. Start investing and thank God later. Disregard the US dollar sign. I calculated everything in Naira, I am not affiliated with IBTC but I know I am helping somebody with my whole heart so that you can help another person too.

Good one. Very insightful.

Had spare time on my hands last night and decided to write a little.
In reality, everything on that list is heavily under priced.
I did it that way, because from the original post people mentioned they live up North where things are INEXPENSIVE.
Hence, that undervalued estimate so they'll see that even at an unrealistic pricing, 100K take home is suicide.

You really know nothing if you think baby food is 5k a month

Even less if you think a serious person can subsist on n 200 credit per day

2k nepa bill per month

2k daily feeding for a man and woman

All I will say is you know absolutely nothing.
I know... Lol cheesy
I was just trying to be modest so people won't say the estimate is extravagant.
Many people have mentioned that they live up North where things are really cheap (according to them), so I tried to use that price floor for fairness. But in reality, everything on that list is priced x6.

FamilyRE: Someone Earning 100k Naira, Should Not Consider Marriage by NewLife14(op):
I came across this beautiful post about the above topic here https://www.nairaland.com/8571178/someone-earning-100k-naira-should
In the comments, many great minded Nairalanders argued for and against "Marrying with a 100K income" from many perspectives.

This post is all about putting the theories in figures. STAY TUNED cool.

Now the man (From a supportive family) earns 100K and decides to Marry. That is #1,200,000 per annum (1.2M).
His expected expenditure should look like this:
➡️Cost of wedding =Free (Family Sponsors).
➡️ House rent =Free (Has 2 rooms in his family house).
➡️ Electricity Bill (2K a month X 1 year) = #24,000.
➡️Feeding with wife and kid/s (At least 2K a day X 1 year)= #730,000.
➡️Clothing =Nil (He doesn't change clothes cheesy).
➡️Wife Expenditure = Nil (Her parents supports her and fends for her in his house shocked)
➡️Baby Diapers = Nil (Baby wears Napkin).
➡️ Water (Sachet water and others) =Free.
➡️Baby Food and Groceries (Milk, etc, 5K per month X 1 year) =#60,000.
➡️Transportation to work (500 Naira per day X at least 270 days a year) =#135,000.
➡️Recharge card and Data for our man and wife (#200 a day x 1 year) = #73,000.

TOTAL SO FAR =#1,022,000 (1M, 22K)
Our man will be left with #178,000 (178K) at the end of the year in review.

⚠️You will observe that I was extremely prudent in the expenditure, in the hope that both his family and the wife's family support the marriage which is most times unlikely; what applies is that you the man is the one supporting them instead.

⚠️ I only added basic RECURRENT costs and didn't account for emergencies like Healthcare, or even miscellaneous. I also obviously avoided school fees, baby wears, etc.

❓Can you marry with 100K income? YES & NO!

You can if you already have a room in your parents house, your family and her family is supportive financially and otherwise, you like stress grin and you are comfortable with your current financial status (as marrying at this stage will give you little room for financial improvement and growth)

But if you desire to grow financially, break the chain of poverty, value your peace of mind, want to give your family the best and live in a city where you pay for rent and other things, then it'll be a suicide mission to marry with a 100K income.

My 2 cents wink
