PoliticsRe: Atiku's Star Witness faults US Court Judgment On Tinubu's Forfeiture Of $460,000 by optimusprime2(m): 4:55pm On Jun 24, 2023
seunmsg:
Atiku and Peter Obi have both closed their respective cases without proving how they won the election. So, the idea of the court declaring any of them the winner of the election is out of the equation.

The second part of their plea is to get Tinubu disqualified on three grounds. Shettima’s so called double nomination that has now been thrashed by the Supreme Court. 25% of FCT that the two parties seems to have abandoned as they didn’t push this argument seriously. Even if they’ve pushed it, section 299 already made it clear FCT should be treated like a state so it won’t even matter.

The third argument is to get him disqualified by a combination of certificate forgery, dual citizenship and drug conviction.

The certificate forgery is of two nature. Chicago state university and NYSC. As regards Chicago state university, the University already issued a public statement that Bola Tinubu graduated from the University. That alone is enough to settle the matter. All the gymnastic about the color or font of certificate is nonsense.

On NYSC, I would have expected Atiku’s legal team to subpoena NYSC to prove the authenticity of the certificate submitted by Tinubu but they failed to do that. So, how did they arrive at the conclusion that the certificate was forged? NYSC is the only authority that can confirm the authenticity or otherwise of an NYSC certificate.

On the drug conviction issue, it is as empty as the lawyer PDP brought to as witness to prove the case. The witness simply helped PDP to ruin a case that was faulty right from the start. There was no criminal conviction or indictment in the forfeiture. The communication from the US government to the IGP already cleared him of all allegation.

Overall, Atiku and Peter Obi simply wasted everyone’s time. They had no case of rigging so they had to throw in a lot of allegations hoping one will stick. Sadly, they proved none. The two cases will be dismissed with heavy cost to the petitioners.
So let's say B.A.T's papers are deemed legit, you deliberately missed the part where INEC's entire process has been questioned?

The current evidence which have been admitted by court heavily indict's INEC & that is enough to potentially throw "some people" in jail.

Brilliant lawyers may wriggle B.A.T out of the petitions against him, but to be honest INEC is in a different can entirely. The ruling will definitely shock people.

The school has verified his attendance, what other verification do these lots need?

Accepted! The certificate is fake, but the school has verified his attendance.

So what’s the case here? That he forged the certificate that he earned?

Baseless accusations!
The same school also confirmed that the individual associated with the name B.A.T is female... They verified the attendance of Bola Adekemi Tinubu- The evidence was admitted in court.

When poverty levels are extremely high, the path to Economic growth is not by taxing.

BusinessRe: Naira Begins Recovery After Float, Closes At ₦‎664/$ At I&E Window by optimusprime2(m): 2:02pm On Jun 15, 2023
jesmond3945:
yea. Demand for imported goods will call. This will drive investment to make things locally. Nigeria is slowly becoming a full fledged capitalist country like usa.
I see where you are going bro.
Note that there are two main issues that will propel inflation further;

-1 The power sector: Local industries will still suffer the expense of production due to the supply of power, that is still directly related to oil and gas prices (generators). Cost price increase.

-2 Transport and logistics costs are still directly related to oil and gas prices and this affects the masses directly. Cost price increase.

As for the capitalism model, yes! you couldn't have said it any better. The only thing is that in capitalism, the poor will be obliterated literally and the poverty index in Nigeria, is just toooo high to risk going that direction of full fledged Capitalism.

BusinessRe: Naira Begins Recovery After Float, Closes At ₦‎664/$ At I&E Window by optimusprime2(m): 12:50pm On Jun 15, 2023
grandstar:
The purpose of selling dollars to the BDC is to crash the rate there and bring it close to the bank rate, which would end round tripping.

If it's crashed, there will be little room for roundtripping.

The problem during Buhari's term in office was that he, Buhari himself dictated the exchange rates and not the CBN and Emefiele enabled him.

For instance, in 2021 when the official rate was 410 and black market rate was 480 or so, the BDCs were making huge profits.

If the CBN had floated the Naira then at the official rate, many speculated the official rate would have slid to around 460, reducing huge arbitrage profits for the BDC.

But rather than devalue, the CBN preferred to ban the sale of dollars to the BDCs and requested anyone who wanted dollars to approach the banks. This was a collosal mistake as the process of obtaining dollars from banks is bureaucratic while from the BDCs was instant. This led to a quick crash of the Naira at the black market as it was starved of forex.
To be honest I understand Buhari's moves very clearly now.

The reason he did that was because of a lot corrupt activities he was trying to block especially the ones from Petroleum & fuel Subsidy (don't forget he personally handled the Petroleum portfolio). These issues had the potential to make the Naira get devalued below its actual Economic strength.

The issue right now is Nigeria has a lot of loose areas which roam without control, so one can't afford to allow a free market for fx, as it would be open season for corrupt looting- trust me, if the common man benefits, the crooks would benefit 1000x's more.

Secondly security is a big issue, just imagine a scenario where Bandits are roaming free with an easily accessible FX market...

Lastly, with the current Economic situation of Nigeria, can the banking sector withstand the pressure of FX supply?

I assure you, it seems like a good move, but in the absence of a thoroughly thought out national Economic plan, two things will occur;

1- Further Devaluation of the Naira
2- A super inflation that would be driven by fx parallel markets, due to financial institutions inability to meet fx supply .

How you ask?
Because more FX would go out than come in due to all the wuru wuru that has been left unchecked.

BusinessRe: CBN announces unification of FX windows, stops Naira4Dollar scheme by optimusprime2(m):
They have started again, acting impulsively without a clear plan... dem never even finish fuel Subsidy case.

Is it just me or doing this will create the following;
-1 Inevitable Devaluation of the Naira
-2 Dollar Supply challenge from the banking sector which will still endup empowering the parallel market (except an official mutual agreement is brokered between the black market and CBN) either way the local currency will seriously slump, which will seriously push inflation.

As I write now, the CFA is far stronger than the Naira, which is concerning, considering the fact that all border countries around Nigeria use the CFA...

Is Nigeria prepared for the looming inflation, potentially around the corner?

My take;
Such decisions should have been made after establishing a solid economic thinkthank that would have analysed the strengths and weaknesses of this fx policy in the absence of a strong National Economic plan.

Additionally the vices of Nigeria that require heavy fx have not even been plugged, I.e security, banditry, oil and gas corruption, power sector corruption... why kick start a policy that would further facilitate the operations ease of numerous wahala in the country (like pouring water into a leaking bucket- more like wasting water)

E get why Buhari been lock everywhere. I just hope Buhari is not missed in the long run.

koribobo:
Will you write this falsehood as history? How could Obi have won? This narrative that Obi won and his mandate was stolen is very delusional for presidential candidate with no northern appeal
Chairman,
I like your reasoning, but do you know that even with the "controversial" INEC results, Peter Obi won two Northern states (talk about Northern appeal with an unknown political party).

B.A.T on the other hand, had little appeal in his own region because;
-1 He lost his own state Lagos
(let's ignore the fact that no presidential candidate who won an Election in Nigeria, ever lost his own state)
-2 He didn't totally appeal to his own South west region putting in mind he lost Osun State.
Additionally,
-3 He didn't appeal to the entire East & South South. (Let's keep in mind that both Peter Obi and Atiku won in states outside their affiliated regions)
-4 He didn't appeal to all the States with the highest voters, despite running with an incumbent political party.
**Edit**
He also lost the FCT by a long shot

If not because Naija na Naija- where blue can be called red, B.A.T actually failed his own popularity test.
