Dalnadoni: The rate at which the naira is losing value made me wonder how things would have been like if #500 note is our highest denomination we have in Nigeria. Common #100 can't buy any reasonable thing in this country.
I think the inclusion of #1000 note made things really expensive and if there were to be #5000 note, things would have been worse.
Where did we get it wrong? Which naira note do you think should have been our highest denomination? And do you think #5000 note would have been a good idea in this country considering our present economy? What do you think should be done to make the naira strong again?
Who carries notes around again? Notes value will only have implications for looters and those who are into illicit activities. The highest denomination should be N100 to further frustrate these sets of people and also further encourage the move to cashless economy.
They don't want a rejected deity that will come and desecrate their Emir's palace.
So, you expected everybody to be on the road everywhere he passes through in Kano for the 3 days he spent there? Even a president doesn't get that anywhere in the world. IPOB members and their warped reasoning.
muykem: Please help me to prevent my partner from committing suicide. I want Nigerian to hear our story of a fraudulent company established by Akwa state government called "stringe manufacturing company " in Onna Akwa state. It was established by the current governor and sited in his LGA. The company gave us LPO in March 2022 to supply Diesel. We borrowed money and did the supply the same March. They supposed to pay by May according to the terms and conditions on the LPO but till today no payment. We have done everything humanly possible but to no avail. My partner is facing a serious threat from people that borrowed us money for the supply so he hinted me that he may consider suicide if the pressure continues. Please somebody should link me with some of big journalists who can help us and your advice is also welcome.
I hope Tinubu is not the cause of this... Instead of you to face your state governments and make them work in your interest, Tinubu in Lagos is your problem. Tomorrow, the same you would come on air to say the Akwa governor is the best person to lead Nigeria
sanusideunifier: The handwriting is clear that the north and south, east and west no longer want to risk theiir future with a man whose health is worsening every day. Away from Tinubu's fast-failing health, many Nigerians are badly disappointed that Tinubu has glaringly refused to clear his name of drug peddling charges and underworld link allegations, produce his primary and secondary school records at least mention his school name, classmates or teachers. He has other mountains of corruption charges and others bordering on his over twenty foreign accounts where Lagos money is being siphoned daily. How can we risk the future of a battered country like Nigeria by supporting a known thief? The Kano rally answers it all. "Don't support what will kill you. Avoid such rally if your brain is intact." The lastest pressure from family, friends and party members is for Tinubu to do what is considered honorable by stepping down to support a much younger and towering Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi. Will Tinubu listen to this kind advice? Let's watch as events unfold.
Cheap hard weed is not good for your health. Stop taking it especially in the morning
Kagd10: The same people that betrayed Jonathan? Tinubu shouldn't put his eggs in one bag hence Tinubu should pick a North Central Christian man.
Hausas didn't owe Jonathan anything. GEJ was leading a corrupt government and therefore deserved to be voted against by any patriotic person whether Hausa, Fulani, Yoruba, or even Igbo.
Continue to dream.Imagine a Yoruba man saying Kano is in his pocket
Hausas don't think waywardly like igbos. They know the Yorubas have paid their dues supporting their man in 2015 and 2019. The payback will be loud in Feb. In Kano, all the major groups were even giving Tinubu blueprints they would want him to implement. It is a done deal man... You can begin to lick your wound now maybe it will heal before Feb 25.
It is clear Tinubu is the candidate to beat in both Lagos and Kano. The recent endorsement by various organizations in Kano corroborates this. Of course, Lagos is Tinubu and Tinubu is Lagos.
These two cities have the highest voters in the country - Lagos has 7m voters while Kano registered 6m voters. Whoever controls these cities definitely has an advantage which puts him far ahead of the other contenders. Given that most states in SW will follow the direction Lagos chooses, Kano will also influence the direction of votes in NW. Again, these are the largest voting blocks in the country.
Should we start congratulating Tinubu ahead of the election?
Rishi Sunak will become Britain’s next prime minister, prevailing in a chaotic Conservative Party leadership race on Monday after his remaining rival for the position, Penny Mordaunt, withdrew. He will be Britain’s third leader in seven weeks and the first prime minister of color in its history.
A former chancellor of the Exchequer who is the son of Indian immigrants, Mr. Sunak, 42, won the contest to replace the ousted Liz Truss, who resigned under pressure last Thursday after her economic agenda caused turmoil.
We only hope he won't join the list of "embattled" PMs who left the seat abruptly and unceremoniously.
And what's bad in bringing Abiola's manifesto to life again? Kudos to Tinubu for doing this. It means he actually believed in Abiola and probably one of the brains behind Obiola's manifesto.
When delivering his remark at the dinner organized in honor of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of APC, Governor Ganduje told the attendees that the dinner was an endorsement of Tinubu candidacy. This was responded to by everybody in the hall with a loud round of applause.
The first reasonable forecast since the start of electioneering. Obdidients, obidi@ts, and zombidients won't like this though... so, brace up for attacks from them.
oikirodah: Massive: So Tinubu Decided To Visit Kano And He Was Received This Way (Photos)
They do claim that politics is local, and I can now understand why, as a young man, I always loved the enormous crowds that such greats as Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Waziri, and others would draw when campaigning for president in the second republic.
The Jagaban visited Kano today, and the city came to a full halt. The crowd was more than intimidating. I wonder what his rivals' thoughts would be when they see the enormous gathering that announces the Jagaban's presence.
Wow, these images are truly mind-blowing; we eagerly await the campaigns in their prime.
Ahead of the 2023 general election, a support group working to actualize the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu Presidency, know as Bola Ahmed Tinubu/Shettima-Disciples (BATS-D), has inaugurated its State and Local Government Coordinators in the five Eastern states of Nigeria.
The States include; Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi State respectively.
The APC National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel, while performing the inauguration, charged the State and LGAs Coordinators to properly, under the vision and mission of the socio-political group, harmonize their activities with other interest groups back in their various States.
It was observed that the event that took place in Awka, on Saturday, was well attended by members of the group from the five States of the South East geopolitical zone.
Speaking further, the National Youth Leader, stressed that there were silent majority of followers at the grassroot, hence, he charged the Coordinators to go and deepen activities of the group at their various wards and Council Areas to ensure victory for the party.
He noted that BATS-D, was in search of credible leadership which could be found in Ahmed Tinubu, believing that he would consolidate on gains of President Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2023.
He expressed confidence that APC will get 95 percent votes in the region.
In their seperate speeches, the Nigeria Ambassador to Burundi, Amb. Elijah Onyeagba and the National Coordinator of BATS-D, Engr. Ifeanyi Aniagoh, assure the Coordinators that the group leadership and the Tinubu Campaign team will always provide them the necessary assistance before, during and after the election.
They advised Ndi-Igbo to engaged other zones with political handshake, in order to sustain the benefits the region is getting from the National grid.
In his brief acceptance speech, the Anambra State Coordinator, Comrade Obinna Muomah, while appreciating the National Youth Leader, Dayo Israel, Amb. Onyeagba, the Zonal Leadership of APC and other supporters of the party, urged Ndi-Igbo to shun politics of sentiment.
Tinubu everywhere you... This coming will be concluded before 12pm on Feb 25.
We've told them they must pay any amount they're asked to pay by our boys, otherwise, Alaba market will remain shut. This is our land and we can't create opportunities for you to make money without the landowners benefiting from it. All levies must be paid in full and they can even be reviewed upward without notice.
Today's walk by the youths of Lagos for Tinubu has exposed, again, the emptiness of the Obi's gatherings and their "mother of all rallies" recently held in Lagos. Lagos youths came out in their numbers to send a strong message to Nigerians that Lagos votes are for Tinubu. The coming election is not like the previous ones. This time around, Lagos is contesting for the presidency - this is how we see it. So, nobody should be deluded to the point of thinking Lagos will vote against herself. The same sentiment is shared across the SW and the Asiwaju's wave is sweeping up north across the Sahara desert to Sokoto, Burno, etc.
miqos02: apparently the CAN didn't consult it's members across board before making that decision. This only shows that the decision is not widely accepted among CAN, don't also forget that political parties has all religions and tribes as their members. They should have kept silent and allow people make their own decisions.
That also shows how incompetent the leadership of CAN is. When a few bigots sit down in a room to make a decision for a national body of christians, what do you expect?
Xscape1993: Nobody wants him as president. He forced his way through agberoism and toutism on the evil party and he will be force out at the poll come 2023. In a well developed society, the founder of agberos in Nigeria should be in a medical center.
Says who? Ghosts voted for him at the primaries? Zombidients and their irreparable dead brain
The leadership of Alaba International Market on Thursday justified why it shut down the market following Wednesday’s clash between traders and tax collectors.
The PUNCH reports thahttps://www.nairaland.com/7392840/real-owners-lagos-locked-alabat one person was feared killed and several others injured on Wednesday when traders clashed with some tax collectors, aka agberos, at the Alaba International Market, in the Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State.
The warring factions, who were in their hundreds, deployed different weapons, including stones, cutlasses, wood and axes, during the affray.
A video clip seen by our correspondent on social media and confirmed to be from the clash, showed the two groups hurling cudgels at one another.
But in a statement on Thursday, the Alaba International Amalgamated Traders association said the need to protect lives and properties informed their decision to shut down the market.
“The extreme extortion going on, especially between Volkswagen bus stop and Alaba market is becoming so unbearable as traders are made to pay a fully cleared container or a truck a whooping sum of N70,000 to N100,000 before they can be allowed to convey their goods to the market; it is the same for those supplying goods from their warehouses.
“For traders who cannot afford or who hesitate to pay are either beaten up or wounded. Sadly enough, only yesterday we woke up to the information that a new loading point was to be instituted on the already constricted Alaba road which has already been taken over by petty traders who were given portions to display wares to the detriment of existing shop owners, also completely defacing this market of international repute.
“To ensure this issue was handled amicably, the Alaba amalgamated leaders quickly contacted the executive chairman of Ojo Local Government who promised to call them to order, we also contacted the interim caretaker committee chairman who also promised to call them to order but surprisingly on Tuesday the 19TH of October we were greeted with chaos in our market as hoodlums that we cannot quantify trooped into the market with guns, machete, and other dangerous weapons; shooting and maiming both buyers and traders who are doing their legitimate business to the extent that some were killed and several other wounded.
“To this end, we want to say enough is enough! The Alaba international market traders association has decided to shut down the entire market till further notice to avoid further loss of lives and property and will remain shut till:
“These criminals are arrested and brought to justice. The Removal of all kiosks/petty traders causing blockade along Alaba international market road. That all toll collection points will be at the Volkswagen bus stop and the chemists’ bus stop. The Reduction in outrageous fees collected from containers, trucks, and other vehicles,”.
