₦airaland Forum

GloriousGbola:
The igbos around me are representative of the igbos in the SE

Also, the beauty of Nairaland is that a lot of people are unfiltered and also unhinged.

If you had been on the political threads from 2011 to 2016, you would have a much better understanding of what I am saying

Of course, it is quite possible that you understand and and playing ostrich. The most vocal tribalist on this board for instance regularly virtue signals, but that is a story for another day.

Imho, the bona-fide Lagosians who dislike Tinubu are the political order who have repeatedly failed to beat him at the game.

Bro, so the Nigerian drug pushers and fraudsters are representative of Dayo in Texas? as dem be Nigerians?

As per your lagos bonafides - you mean people like Nihilist? Abi he is a politician Bro you do understand that what you are saying could be extrapolated to mean that Igbos make up half the voting population pf lagos that Tinubu thugs have to be unleashed for him to win his own state?

Bro, the better Nigeria we want isn't only dependant on Tinubu, Obi or Atiku, its dependent the majority of us doing the right thing, That Nairaland is filled with plenty unhinged, must this thread be same? I have been on this forum since over 10yrs mainly on property & stockmarket threads both have very low level of bile; lets not make this thread another NL Nuttersville, just my 1cent.

GloriousGbola:
I live in festac and I live among unfiltered provincial igbos. They hate the man. It is what it is.

I have stated why they hate the man. You can spin it as sowing seeds of tribalism. That is expected.

You could have easily said most of the Igbos around me hate Tinubu, it still doesny translate to an whole tribe hating Tinubu.

Tinubu got stoned in Abeokuta 2019, does it mean that the Egbas hate Tinubu...

Egbon, agbalagba ni wa, we cannot be fanning embers of tribalism we should be discouraging such tribalistic rhetorics especially among the youths.

Lots of bonafide lagosians very much dislike Tinubu, likewise people from host of other tribes and ethnicities; Its same for other politicians too so it is wrong and bad taste to say Igbos hate Tinubu, that what I expect to hear from motor park touts not on this board with the level of educated minds here.

GloriousGbola:
Okonjo iweala was coordinating minister. She was clearly being groomed. If GEJ had won she would have been the nominee, zoning be damned.

If you want to deny that igbos hate Tinubu that's on you.

Bro, this is totally uncalled for...
Like the whole tribe hates Tinubu? Seriously Bro we no need all this Tribal ish...

This election has shown that all tribes are welcomed in all part of Nigeria; Peter Obi showing up did that... Obi campaigned in core North and wasn't stoned.

Tinubu campaigned in the East they brought revered masquarade to welcome him; and we have grown men on NL sowing seeds of tribalism...SMH

Jonathan boi Wike is wrecking havoc in favour of Tinubu who Tinubu ultimately cost his presidency but na Igbo hate Tinubu.

raumdeuter:
I have put my bet on the table for over 6months no one took it

My bet is that

Tinubu gets more votes nationwide than Obi stake 1 to 10M

no one took it

I am not an Obidient, but Chairman I took on up on your original bet naa wrt Obi not winning 1 state or something like that 😀😀😀 You also have changed stance when you saw that jungle did not mature as expected; I even sweetened it to Obi wins 15% of total vote cast + If I win I donate all my winning to charity N1-N5 million but you sha jump pass... Offer still on the table cos 15% of vote cast isn't distant 3rd in a four man horse race naa

Nobody in their right mind would put serious money on an Obi victory against an entreched establishment parties; but they sure can hope for an upset..

Also as Chairman wey you be; Egbon you can as well declare that if Obi beats Tinubu you will share the N10 million on this thread, as pe emi ni mo mu abayi wa I go collect N20k in 200 naira notes - new notes only 😀😀😀

DissTroy:
If Ekpa is tried in Nigeria, he'd be made into a martyr. The halfwits who follow him would say a Fulani government which hasn't brought Shekau and other BH terrorists to book and has been freeing them ganged up to bully an Igbo 'liberator'.

Ekpa should be tried in Finland.

Remember our convo few hours earlier? All it required is Nigeria Authority doing the right thing; Finland no sabi Ndigbo or any Tribal group; like a democratic nation would not protect a citizen openly attempting to disrupt democracy in another soverign.

Question is why NOW

DissTroy:
If Yorubas didn't get Adeyemi Grandson arrested and jailed in the U.K., with the leadership gap left by Sunday Igboho after he was hunted down, Yoruba Nation agitators would have turned violent getting murderous directives from Adeyemi.

Replace Sunday Igboho and Adeyemi Grandson with Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, and you get the picture of what's playing out in the South East.

The leadership vacuum left by Yusuf in 2009 allowed a more radical Shekau to fill the gap.

Take responsibility for your actions (and inactions).

Any solid evidence of this assertion? How do you know he wasnt reported by Nigerians of Igbo descent?

Anyway I think you are barking up the wrong tree here, it is Buhari govt or APC that need to solve this issue; If NK can be kidnapped by Buhari to Nigeria, It shows that should Buhari or APC govt want him dealt with, trust me it is a small matter.

As someone who had in past life worked in Finland, I can tell you that the Ndigbo or even Nigerian cohort in Finland is not upto 10% of those in Netherlands or Germany talkless of UK, and more importantly don't have 1% of clout Nigerians have in the UK. Also I wouldn't encouraging of placing such responsibility on Ndigbo, gun ownership is very high in Finland so all it takes is 1 knucklehead to take it upon himself to take out Simon Ekpa, never would advocate such level of self help, when there is diplomatic route to resolve the issue.

If Simon Ekpa starts threathening to take out Aisha Buhari and her kids in Dubai, trust me he would be sorted.

You can hardly save money on minimum wage. Strictly on minimum wage oh. Someone here living very well will be able to safe and still live comfortably.

Young Man, It would do you real good not to state what you have no clue about, seriously last time it was Buhari is a good leader blablabla; when you got pulled up on it; you where unable to come up with coherent explanation.

Is it in Naija can someone save on the 18k/30k minimum wage? Why would someone who is a professional in Nigeria go abroad and his aim would be to live on minimum wage? Am sure you must have read countless of stories of people who japaed using student route and within 1year are able to work to bring their family to join them...

Have you seen any of us abroad based respond to jibes to come back and enjoy Buhari/Tinubu nigeria??

Ihebu4chelsea:
Sensing the suffering caused by the policy and the political damage it is likely to wreak on the party in the forthcoming elections, the APC apparatchiks moved swiftly to distance themselves from Emiefele and even Buhari. Both Tinubu, his mob, and the party’s governors have turned Emiefele into a punching bag. While Tinubu has not been shy to attack Buhari, the governors have been less confrontational, blaming an amorphous cabal around the president rather than the president himself for the shambolic policy.

But make no mistake, the disaster that is Emeifele was the creation of the APC. They empowered him; they egged him on; they celebrated him as he dismantled Nigeria’s financial system and the economy one block at a time these last eight years......

In final analysis Buhari made APC & Destroyed APC

People like El Rufai owe their emergence to Buhari, and I think he is just playing to the gallery to endear himself to southwest purely for furure selfish interest - maybe a shot at presidency?

Imagine Gandollar opening mouth, person if not for Buhari wouldnt have won his relection; not sure his candidate would win governorship like these sef... so probably need to be able to use stashed funds to prosecute this election, so none is screaming for the commoner, na their own interest first, the governed benefitting from it is an afterthought or chance occurrence.

iamoyindamola:
Enter bank to withdraw 200 old notes, the money is smelly and dirty but still better than none
Yesterday I held 10k cash for the first time in how many weeks now

Good to know that it is now possible to get a decent amount of cash which should be sufficient for ordinary people for day to day living.

So any protest going on now is politically motivated, Buhari has conceded a great deal on this occassion, normally him no send our papa...

Anybody wey go die for any politican wey no send us, thats their problem. This is no longer about the common man, it now about their stashed billions for vote buying.

Deposit your unexplained wealth with the CBN, then now explain how you got it😀😀

I have always opined that to curb/fight high level crazy corruption like we have in Nigeria isn't that difficult, cos our Politicians and accomplices are not bothered to be creative in their mode of theft.

Itsrm:
His statement was clear enough na. He meant that PDP is not taking advantage of the situation as they should have done.

By now, PDP is supposed to be everywhere raining fire and brimstone on the APC. Just Imagine if this was PDP in 2015 and APC the opposition.

Naah Bro, PDP is not suppose to do nothing? With Less than 2weeks to election - No need to make it partisan? Buhari wey never listen to him own wife & Sultan na opposition spokesperson him go listen to?

This is APC failure, brought to us by Buhari and all his enablers.

If Nigerians greatly affected by this nonsense fail to borrow themselves brain - that's on them. Did some APC apologist not blame PDP for the recent fuel scarcity?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I won't be surprised if people enjoying this CBN torture on this thread are abroadians.

Because una wey be abroadians can surprise and amaze us

Spy360, na Texas or Dubai you dey?[/color]

Bros Forget; it is affecting us alot; If not alot more sef, apart from Anxiety; if you where sending n100k before now you will need to send n130k if not more...

Plus if you have to get 3rd party to help you collect the funds oh boy; you have to pay them as well or find something for them... so no when we contribute to these conversations we are not mocking people based in Nigeria, we live your reality 2nd hand through our relatives, Nigeria affects us all.

raumdeuter:
Buhari definitely has a sinister plan which I don't know at this point

See riots all over for the past 2 to 3 weeks what's his plan?

When INEC is saying they are impacted by cash scarcity, prominent leaders including Obas and Sultan said the same thing, NSA is saying cash scarcity will have an effect on security

People are struggling badly. You say you want to curb vote buying. Is it when people are suffering and Lagos has started palliative distribution that vote buying will stop?

A man who does not have access to cash to feed his family banking on palliative. Is his vote not up for sale?

Bro I get aged relative in her 90's that we are having to check on daily if cash is available for paid carer to feed and maintain the house; the stress no be here.

How can I have money in the bank, and the money is useless? I dont believe Buhari understands what is happening? He cant seriously be contemplating 3rd term Na? What is his gain in all of this? I think it is more plausible or likely northern element + anti Tinubu southerners in his kitchen cabinet are the ones doing all this...

larride:
Whatever you say boss.

Boss shey na PDP cause this wahala? Hell No..

What are exactly you expecting opposition parties/PDP to do?

APC controls National Asembly, Installed Supreme Court CJ.

larride:
Once again, PDP is a useless opposition party.

APC is the most Useless Party ever to rule Nigeria, hopefully never again.

raumdeuter:
Shey with confusion in the land

INEC saying they cannot get cash needed to prosecute elections

And riots all over the country

How will you transport election materials and result when riots are ongoing, how will election officers get to their location when riots are going on, how will people get to polling stations safely

Is Buhari still supporting Tinubu?? Cos there's is no way APC+Tinubu doesnt get punished at the poll..

If they don't then what exactly is the impetus for the next government to perform? If Nigerians don't punish them at the poll then they deserve the leadership and situation in the country...

Besides, I dont feel sorry for Tinubu, not at all cos only his ambition is impacted and he bears a huge responsibility for blenthroning & enabling this govt, but for ordinary nigerians it is their daily lives.

I don't put it past Nigerians sha - Majority are still gonna vote along Tribal and Religious lines; but oh wow to frustrate 1person 200million go suffer am; chai we don suffer.

raumdeuter:
If the narrative about punishing Tinubu is spreading then how will it be perceived that in order to punish Tinubu you decide to punish 150M people

If Tinubu wins then by Feb 27 they will relax and print more money or they start food scarcity

Buhari don fix date of subsidy removal for June 2023 after he leaves office so President Tinubu walks into a nationwide riot fueled by those pained by election loss and now add citizens who are suffering from subsidy removal

So after we will go and beg Buhari to come back as interim govt

The whole situation doesnt make sense; Normally I accept alot of things doesnt make sense when it comes to Nigeria; but this is a different level; like how do you explain that you pay 10-20% to buy same currency?
Ok, I get that you have taken out n1000, n500, n200 why not flood ATM's with n100 or even n50 so people who really need to transact in cash suffer less inconvenience - not unavailability.

This is crazy, what exactly is going on? With everything going wrong with the country, security and fuel crisis you then decide to add Naira scarcity? Having noticed the negative effect - you also decide to continue with the implementation, who does that?

I don't blame Buhari sha, na the gullible Nigerians who after witnessing his disaster of 1st outing in 1985 decided to bring him back; worse still with the nonsensical performance of his 1st term stupidly reasoned that he has done enough to deserve 2nd term.

This can't be about vote buying or stopping Tinubu naa, so if after all these Tinubu wins what is their next move?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]With Ahmed Lawan retaining his seat in the Senate, what does this spell if APC wins?

President - Muslim
Vice - Muslim
Senate President - Muslim

Maybe I am wrong sha[/color]

Lawan most likely would not retain senate leadership, apart from him being Muslim; he has been uber useless.

Gbaja is also Muslim, not sure we can have No.1 to No.4 all Muslims, not a good look so either femi or Lawan would be sacrificed.

It is shameful what happened in lagos, people should be allowed to campaign freely for their candidate and I expect Sanwo-Olu to dpeak our about it even if he can't do much about.

Tinubu and his touts do not represent lagosians so it would be stupid to tar us lagosians in this light when knowing fully well that the chief tout MC is not a lagosian, likewise majority of these idiots.

BlueRayDick:
One of the things I planned to do this year is get an IT skill that will afford me the opportunity of getting a reasonable and decent job abroad in the nearest possible future. So I've been thinking of an IT skill I can learn that

Bro, have you checked your current role? If there is demands for it abroad? I tend to advise people polishing up on already existing roles and skills around an industry/sector you are familiar with is always easier and shorter than learning entirely skills especially when you factor in time and money pressures.

Ofcourse if you want a career change, then it doesnt apply

monerozi5590:
Just imagine your second paragraph. So because they are Southerners, they shouldn't be called out. This kind of mentality will take us no where.

Who was the MD of Zenith Bank when Sunusi traced 20b missing US Dollars to an account in Zenith Bank?

Who replaced Sunusi when he was suspended?
Do the maths. Not everything will be spelt out for you.

Is ok not to like Northerners. Is your choice.


Your last paragraph. You just confirm what I just posted. Emifiele is a banker. He is not a professional when it comes to Economics. He doesn't have it. Simple. Stop arguing the obvious.

Guy please rest with your Buhari/Northern Agenda... It is insensitive to be shouting Sai Baba at this present time with everything that is ongoing.

We are still waiting for your list of Buhari good leadership qualities, your poor attempt to lay the current situation on the doorsteps of southerners either Jonathan or Emefiele whilst going easy on the uber clueless and mannequinn we have in Aso Rock.

Also your Sanusi missing $50Billion or $20Billion was never found cos it was all lies/hot air

afrodoc2:
I just hope things do not escalate. This type of stuff often spins out of control like a funnel. You think it is going one way then goes in a different direction.

Maybe that's what the Presidency want? If not why would you not flood the ATM's with N50/N100 notes and then limit cash withdrawal to N10k per day? Atleast the artisans with such move the petty traders are sorted if you insist on such small timeframe for changing notes.
What benefit does note changing bring?

larride:
It is not BS.

If you want, we can do sector by sector and I will list what Buhari has done in each sector.

Buhari Achilles heel is the mismanagement of the economy through inconsistent monetary and fiscal policy and also his ban ban ban mentality.

Please do list them - Note it is how he has done better than his predecessors.

Maybe I was sleeping throughout my Econs classes at Uni; so there is no correlation between fiiing up both monetary and fiscal policies and his performance on these sector? Oga Larride motigbo.

Gbogbowa ni Buhari mess up yi kan, just dey play 😀

larride:
He actually did well in some sectors, infact better than most of his predecessors but he has fùcked up the economy with inconsistent policy.

Funny enough, most of these policy were in conjunction with the CBN.

Larride! Larride! Larride!
This is total BS, The economy is the sum of all the sectors; good performance in sectors will result in an improvement on the Economy, not this shitshow APC foisted on us.

Abeg na which sector Buhari performed better than prececessors? Like GloriousGbola stated, Buhari's greatest achievement is completing projects he met (besides I was suspecting he got hacked cos of his latest statements on Buhari 😀 )
Electoral reforms ?
Agriculture?
Health?
Education?
Security?
Finance?
Energy Sector?

larride:
Buhari gave approval without consulting with other people in govt including his own Finance Minister.

Just maybe if he had carried everyone along, we won't be talking about poor execution now.

Thanks Larride for putting the blame squarely on whom it lies - Buhari.

People should stop trying to whitewash nonsense; Buhari DSS was hounding Buhari CBN governor in the midst of implementing people impacting policy, he did nothing.

This is Buhari F up, simple nobody should try to exonerate him, haba even prior to Tinubu statement, we knew mplementation has become problematic; all it required was him saying am suspending this eod.

It is this silly attitude of ours that make these politicians get away with murder, how can the country get better when we keep making silly excuses and keep failing to hold them to account.

I can't believe someone is still up here shouting Sai Baba with his full chest, after almost 8years of mess, SMH. Still waiting to hear Buhari leadership qualities..

BlueRayDick:
Nowadays ehn, if u want to take care of Ur people na to take the time, withdraw cash nd go hand them the money o.

For those abroad, sending money to Ur people's accoubt alone doesn't do it again. U have to still find something give Ur cousin or any close relative to help u go ATM withdraw and hand cash to Ur people. If u have banker friend it still doesn't count cos most bankers are not even allowed to withdraw over the counter except the daily 20k limit vide ATM.

Over the weekend I had to make time out to go hand cash to my folks. Something wey be say transfer dey sort normally before and dem go either go bank or POS to withdraw.

Hopefully those always quick to pick on those abroad, will see that Naija matter affects us too...
Atleast you are onground to sort your folks; abroadians will have to sort someone to sort their folks. Buhari's APC is making sure everyone is touched.

monerozi5590:
Buhari is a leader and a good leader listens. A leader is not always the most brilliant. He thought the idea was good so he agreed to it.

Please OasisX abeg come and carry your brother, abi kini gbogbo eleyi?
Buhari a good leader? even Tinubu will not chat such nonsense.

chrisooblog:
Yes oil prices fell but currency was still stable, population not out of control, basic services still functioning reasonably.

What I'm saying in short is that Baba Kekere was dealt a good hand and didn't have many reasons not to do well.

Unlike today's contemporary governor who apart from dwindling revenue has to deal with crippling debt, decrepit infrastructure, high population, devalued currency and that's just on a regular day. Look at Soludo for instance he's learning the hard way that theory and governance are two entirely different things.

Nope Baba Jakande was not a self centered thief or wasteful idiot like our current crop of politicians or governors.

Baba choose to put lagos before self, these lots are putting self before state - thats the key difference.

Imagine how further improved lagos or any other state would be without billions being siphoned or wasted.

Do you think its wrong morally and legally for her [Linda] to retell the Story?

Same thing we are saying with electricity, if you can only afford 5k Electricity per month, then adjust your usage to that...

if you have a house of your own, then it will pay for itself because by the time you add NEPA and diesel fees plus the inconvenience

If chief Olowu is spending 150K a month on electricity, then that is 1.8M a year before generator maintenance which dem fit open shop on your head if you have a major breakdown

Egbon yi sha 😀😀😀
Bros that's like 5k per day naa... Na wetin dem use dem go pay naa so for most we are talking way less than that.. Aside if person fit pay 25k for dstv sub, why cant dey pay 150k for light to watch it?
