Can you get me dollars from CBN? Why should I use CBN unreliable rates when I will still source my foreign from the black market?

Export are sold in Dollars, so you don't need to still get dollar from CBN.

Peter Obi goofed big time on this.

life2017:
Obi is a die hard liar.

If the export was quoted in naira by NBS, knowing fully well export is done in dollars, NBS can only use official CBN rate to convert it to Naira. NBS is an agent of Nigeria govt and as such can only use CBN approved exchange rate for its statistics.

Because his followers are gullible, OBi is taking advantage of it to say nonsense.

If nigeria bureau of statistics (NBS) had used black market rate, the amount of the export in Naira would have been higher than 18.9trillion Naira.

Obi should be humble enough and accept his ignorance or lie


Nigeria does not sell its goods to foreigners in Naira. The product are exported in dollars. what Nigeria received from export is dollars and not Naira.

Since NBS quoted it in Naira, NBS simply converted the dollars received by Nigeria to Naira. And NBS being an agent of govt, can only use approved CBN rate to convert the value of the export done in Dollars to Naira.

If you must convert it back to the dollars, which is the original currency for the trade, you must use the same exchange rate.

If we use official exchange rate of 420 naira to 1 USD that will mean our export is $45bn dollar.

I have read so many obviously wrong Statistics quoted by Peter Obi which shows that he is surprisingly not well informed about issues he qoutes Statistics about.

nwigwemark:
Yoruba‘s should have had a better candidate in Osinbajo but they choose City boy.

I am seeing every odd against him.

Is Yoruba a political party?

Was Peter Obi chosen by the Igbos and Atiku chosen by the Fulanis?

All these aren't necessary.

If Abimbola Adelakun (who has never hidden her hatred for Tinubu for a long time) and others feel that Tinubu is not good enough either by virtues of his health or morality, why not vote for Atiku or Peter Obi?


Tinubu is NOT the only candidate, so the voters have choices.

Sergio101:
Let's be logical here

If the billboard was pulled down by let's say "angry mob"..... there's no way the image and parts of the board will still remain un-torn.

So it's either this picture was taken before mounting the billboard or the billboard was pulled down by wind as a result of weak balance.

Too many dangerously ignorant people on Social Media.


Peter Obi (though I am not voting for him) has a right to contest and has his own supporters too.
Enough of all these ethnically induced campaigns of calumny.

mofedamijo:
There have always been these strikes for as long as I can remember...... This is not about APC or PDP. This is a Nigerian problem. The earlier y'all know this the better.

The politicians are all recycled. Someone in APC yesterday have moved to PDP today. Someone who slept in PDP yesterday is now in LP.

If you think the strike is a political party thing, then you better wake up.

Check the timeline of ASUU Strikes since 1999

Pzone:
The exam for registration with the Irish Medical Council is no more TRAS but now called PRES (Pre-registration Examination System). Its in two major parts PRES 2 & 3. PRES1 is assessment & verification of your primary medical qualification & IELTS ( Band 7 with minimum of 6.5 in each band which is lower than U.K requirement which is 7.5). If you did your housemanship in Nigeria, you can't get a training post (Residency) in Ireland regardless of whether you have internationally reconized postgraduate qualifications e.g MRCP, MRCS, MRCOG, because Nigerian internship is not recognized, but you can get non-training posts easily (SHO) cos this is where they really need doctors.The pay in Ireland is relatively more than U.K cos you get to do more overtime which can even double your income unlike the U.K where no doctor can work more than 48hours per week. If you do your internship in countries like Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Malaysia, Sudan. It is recognized in Ireland and you can be exempted from the PRES exam and you even qualify to apply for training posts. PLAB1 as well as USMLE step 1&2 are also recognized in Ireland for exemption from PRES1

Is it possible to write PRES-2 in Nigeria?

Can Residency in Nigeria be an exception for PRES-2

OnyeAshuaUru:
Archbishop Onaiyekan we know.
Bishop Oyedepo we know.
Bishop Kukah we also know.

This unknown god-man can only be a Bishop of Tinubu diocese.

.

Indomie Generation won't know Bishop Kayode Williams!

He headed the FG's committee on Prison decongestion in 2007

Diligent1:
Wow, this is good but the tarrif should not be too high so that the importers can bring in more goods that will benefit the masses and also affordable for people.
The foreigners import from Cotonou because their tarrif is not high.

What of the Exporters?

mycar:
If that was exported, what were the things exported and how much was remitted to the federation account?

It's not all export that goes into the Federation Account.

For instance,if you are export 500kg of Bitter Kola valued at #7.5 Million with 5% Export Duty, you will just pay #37,500 to the Nigeria Custom Service (who will now remit about #33,000 to the Federation Account) while the rest of the money belong to you.

post=115366510:
With new electoral law governors and party leaders can only do little to influence voters, gone are those day they send their thugs to hijack ballot boxes or rewrite result or buying PVCs, you will be seeing the outcome direct from the polling units, Osun elections Tinubu and his lieutenants and the governor with all the financial inducements couldn't save APC in Osun, in Anambra Andy Ubah bought seating senator from PDP, national assembly members in APGA and PDP, he bought APGA campaign director and other APGA party chieftains, he shared10k at the he was third position, PDP would have won Ekiti election if they have given their ticket to popular candidate, 2023 elections will surprise many of you governors or heavyweight politicians are now valueless.

You don't really have deep understanding of the presidential election.

The election is a team work and on the election date, each voter will be given three ballot papers to thumbprint the parties they want for President, Senate and Reps.
Most people will thumbprint the same party for the three positions.

Only the names and logos of political parties (and not Tinubu, Atiku or Peter Obi ) will appear on the ballot papers because it's the parties that are contesting (study the numerous Supreme Court Judgements on Election Petitions).

Now, the APC and the PDP have candidates for all the 109 Senatorial seats and 360 Reps seat but the Labour party doesn't have candidates in about 60% of the seats or have weak candidates.

All the Senatorial, Reps, Govnorship and Assembly candidates on the platform of each party will convince their people to vote for their parties.

If some candidates do anti-party campaigns, it often back fire (check AD in S/west 2003 and PDP in the North in 2015) such that they are likely to lose their own seats too.

XerXers:
Why didn't other yoruba states witness upsurge in voter registration apart from Lagos? A similar pattern of sudden increase is witnessed in the East and Lagos but not in other Yoruba states. Obi effect made Lagos overtake Kano for the first time

Osun as at Jun,2022 witnessed the highest upsurge in voters registration.

post=115318333:
Lagos where Tinubu the national leader of APC is in control, it took them two days to be able to manipulate the results in some parts of Lagos, mind you that's not possible again with new electoral law,
with current economy situation, insecurity, endsas killings na only God go save APC in Lagos

What exactly is your point?

2019 or 2023 presidential election results in Lagos?

post=115314041:
APC narrowly won Lagos 2019 , now with economy turmoil, insecurity, ASUU strike, endsars killing and with the new electoral law, I can say good bye to APC in Lagos presidential election

About 133, 000 differences in NOT narrow sir

In his last interview with Arise TV, Atiku sounded like someone who had everything figured out and hence confident of victory.

But I’ve been cracking my head to see where Atiku is really expecting his votes aside his native Northeast and some states in Northwest, where else is Atiku sure of votes.

To buttress this point, I will tell you what happened when I boarded a Uber in Lagos. It happened that the driver is from the Igbo speaking area of Delta State. We got talking and talks got to politics and he revealed that he’s card-carrying member of the PDP. But guess what, this man told me clearly that he’s support Peter Obi for the presidency.

We were still analyzing his reasons when he got a call from a certain ‘Segun’ who he addressed as “my corrupt officer”. After they exchanged banters, my Uber driver now cunningly told his caller that in the forthcoming election their support is for Tinubu since they are all Lagos boys. But surprisingly, Segun interjected and said “it’s Obi o”. In the end they concluded that for governorship, Senator, Rep, etc, they are voting PDP, but they are voting Obi for Presidency.

When he was done with the call, I now asked him which of the Southwest States Segun is from and guess what my driver told me, Segun is from Kogi State. He’s Okun. The part of Kogi that speak Yoruba. I got to find out that they both belong to PDP but they are both not voting Atiku for the presidency. I asked my driver if he relates with people at home in Delta to know their opinion too and he told me categorically that everybody in Delta is Obidient and dismissed Okowa’s influence.

I’m not telling you this for you to believe; I can only tell you the truth, but not force you to believe it.

Now the question is, how many PDP card-carrying members are like my driver and Segun? How many southerners and MiddleBelters are like them?

So far in the electioneering process, it has been become increasingly obvious that Southeast and Southsouth, a traditional PDP region, is gone with Peter Obi of Labour Party. Again, due to Christian sentiment and for want of competent candidate who would be different from the norm, most North Central states of Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa and FCT seem to be leaning towards Obi. Taraba in Northeast is also looking Obidient. Then you add Southern Kaduna, Southern Bauchi, Southern Gombe, etc. let’s not forget that Christian sentiments might also guarantee Peter Obi about 30% of Southwest votes.

Tinubu on the other hand is looking to do well in Southwest irrespective of the negative sentiments that his Muslim-Muslim ticket has generated amongst Christian voters in his native southwest region. Similarly, a state like Kwara, who are more Yoruba than northern, might also swing to Tinubu. Again being the candidate of the party in power, it is expected that president Buhari and the northern APC governors will work to deliver some votes of the core northern states for Tinubu. Again, with his running mate coming from Northeast, Tinubu is expected to take Borno and Yobe in the region.

Kwankwaso is looking strong in Kano. Some people say Jigawa but I don’t know about that and can’t say it.

Then, there is Atiku. As of today, Atiku can only boast of votes from Adamawa, Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba in his native Northeast. Borno and Yobe are most probably gone with Shettima of APC. Then in the northwest, with Kano gone with Kwankwaso, Atiku seems to be looking strong in other states of the Northwest of Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Jigawa, Kebbi and Zamfara. But that’s where it ends. Where else is Atiku sure of votes in Nigeria. We may concede he would garner some votes in Delta because of Okowa but I can place a bet that Atiku will not win Delta. Just like his percentage of votes in the entire southern region will be too insignificant to be significant.

Therefore, I throw this poser to Atiku supporters and those who like to claim that the upcoming election is between Atiku and Tinubu to tell me where Atiku is expecting his votes.

Penguin is a bird of reason!!!

Many of you don't understand how presidential elections are won and lost.

By law, practice and in reality, political parties contest for elections in Nigeria.
The elections are like Soccer Tournament and the contestants are like different competing Teams.
The candidates are similar to Captains of the different teams.
This is why on the ballot papers, there won't be Atiku , Tinubu, Peter Obi or Kwankanso but the names and logos of political parties.

On the date of the presidential election, each voter will be given three ballot papers to thumbprint for the parties they will be voting for in the REPS, SENATORIAL and PRESIDENTIAL elections being simultaneously conducted. Most Nigerians will thumbprint for the same party for the 3 elections.

Don't rush to reply to this post but think deeply about the implications.

ogbuefi677:
That is afonja muslims for you
One phone call from the their masters in Sokoto caliphate, story go change

But Oba Oyekan was neither a politician nor a Muslim

beejaay:
you are a very big fool i swear..one time you will calling for tribal unity and how bad tribalism is and other time you will be one championing the cause of tribalism spewing hate everywhere and when they give it to you, you return to default mode asking for end of it...the people wey do u this thing don die we for go beg them

Saying they will be here very soon doesn't involve any tribe.

There are many people from many different tribes who abuse ,insult and curse Tinubu on Nairaland.

Gandollar:
Who were his college buddies in Government college Ibadan?
You are showing us old pictures when the current ones are everywhere.

What exactly is your point?

If Someone is less than 10 years older than Dele Momodu in 1996, he won't be 20 years older than Dele Momodu in 2022.



People get sick and emancipated (especially after surgery) but they also recover.



Note: All these your efforts won't stop those who will vote for Tinubu from doing so or make them to vote for your preferred candidate.

It's better that you change strategy and intensify campaigns for your preferred candidate

Kabirudeen25:
Oga this is not a campaign of whatever, neither is it a polling unit. It's just a simple question. How old is Tinubu?

What do you want to do with his age?
If a man says he was born in 1952, unless you have superior evidence that that date of birth is wrong, it stays put.


Here is a 1996 picture of Tinubu and Dele Momodu on the Streets of London.

Tinubu is not upto 10years older than Dele Momodu.

Ex-Gov Rashidi Ladoja and Sen Akinyelure were Tinubu's senior colleagues in the Oil Industry. Both are 77 years of age

Thanksful:
He meant, the League is dominated by black and black Americans who has Nigerian origin.

OT

Oga, rest.

What Peter Obi said was wrong information (100 players out of 150 NBA players are Nigerians, meaning Nigerians make-up two-thirds of NBA players!)



There's no need to twist it or defend it. Peter Obi gives alot of Statistics that have been proved to be wrong.

Most of these guys don't learn from mistakes of the past.

Campaign of calumny against their opponent doesn't translate into votes for their candidate.

ezechi242:
We gave a total illiterate the power he couldn't control..,.how can a blind man lead 200 million intelligent people that are not blind...,.and some fools are pushing for a blind ..def and dumb man to take over from this total failure ...any time I think about Nigeria my heart skips.

Relax, your preferred candidate will win and stop all these problems.

sukkot:
hmm i have to admit tinubu is the best of the worst. atiku is bad and obi is bad. they both have no achievements whatsoever. so what can a man do ? do like me and dont vote for anybody

Vote for Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankanso

newbornmacho:
How can a Muslim take over from buhari ?
How ??

Anybody that wins will be sworn-in.

So it's better to avail yourself with the opportunity of having a respected man of God and a Bishop as the Vice-president.

DispatcherLagos:
I always knew churches are politicized and to a very high extent tribal.
Imagine the silence of the "owners of these churches"
Redeem christian church of God
Winners
MFM
Deeper life
Etc
Just because Tinubu is Yoruba like them, they've all gone mute on this

They are now rooting for Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankanso who has chosen a Bishop as his running mate.

newbornmacho:
I have to agree. The yoruba Christians in politics have been a disappointment. Just look at fayemi, akeredolu etc all rooting for a Muslim after 8 years of Muslim rule.
Ok how about the clergy? What is adeboye saying? Nothing! Not giving the church direction Because it's not an osinbajo or some other yoruba on the ticket .

I'm totally disappointed

Vote for Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankanso, his Deputy is a BISHOP!

NwaIdeato:
The SW due to their greed for power have unwittingly sold the North a perfect ace card to use and politically dominate Nigeria for a very long time...by agreeing to the Muslim/Muslim ticket, the South West have now given the North the impetus to dare Nigeria and even float a North/North ticket in the nearest future...after all if we are seeing a time in Nigeria's political history when a Muslim/Muslim ticket is allowed...who's to say the North will not attempt a North/North ticket soon? And who will stop them if they do?

Honestly yorubas are the biggest problems we have in Nigeria, now the indigenous Northern Christians have seen through the dishonesty and duplicity of the yorubas, the South South are now disengaging themselves from yaribas...the few poor Yaribaa Christians are helpless and silent...the entire South and Middle Belt are now cutting off the SW...we're seeing a political dynamic where the only friends of the SW will be the core Northern Muslims against the rest of Nigeria

Bros, start campaigning for Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankanso now!

Kwankanso's running mate is a BISHOP and this will protect Christianity in Nigeria.

ottersberger:
The true facts are the other way round. Akande was supplying Lee Andrew Edwards.

Tinubu was a clear accomplice in a drug and money laundering case involving two Nigerians – Adegboyega Mueez Akande and his nephew, Abiodun Agbele.

While Tinubu escaped arrest and prosecution by effectively masking his role in the drug cartel, evidence of funds lodgments in his bank accounts allegedly established him as a kingpin of the narcotics trade.

The drop-off point for packages from Nigeria that contained white heroin is the same address given by Tinubu and his wife Oluremi when they opened money market accounts to receive payments he claimed to originate from Akande, who was the cartel's boss. Tinubu admitted Akande was his cousin.

The 1.8 million dollars Tinubu claimed were paid to him as emoluments for an offshore assignment in the UAE by Deloitte checked out untrue and was indeed the sum of monies he lodged into his account on behalf of Akande.

We are Nigerians and we know who is lying. Tinubu na confirmed gbana man.

If Tinubu broke US Laws on drugs, he would be arrested immediately, tried and jailed.

What David Hundeyin and his ignorant followers are saying is that 'they are more competent than the US agencies in catching those who break US laws'

GardenOfGod:
Just listen to yourself... In law, anyone that aid crime commit the same crime....
Correct me if am wrong

If the US through her Embassy in Lagos clear Tinubu of any crime in the US, do you think a disgruntled pseudo-journalist cum blogger called David Hundeyin can convict him of breaking US laws?


You may hate Tinubu but think deeply about this.

Prince111111:
na so Una dey cry before Osun election too

Okay, you are right, Peter Obi will win the presidential election in Osun State.

Abujason:


Dream on.
APC and EBola Yekini Amoda Ogunlere Tinubu is not going anywhere.

Okay, sorry.

Peter Obi will win Osun State in the presidential election.
