Keep on deceiving yourself. I bought dollar's for 761 Naira few minutes ago . The 664 rate you talking about only exist in theory book. But the physical reality on ground is 761 per dollar's

Ofunaofu:

A fresh fact has emerged considering a list of 27 names of “new appointees and some new ministries” allegedly made by President Bola Tinubu and has been circulating on Facebook.

As reported by Africa Check, a fact-checking platform, the list, which has now been confirmed to be false has been reposted on other Facebook pages with some claiming that President Tinubu has abolished certain ministerial offices.

According to the Facebook post, popular Nigerian pastor, Tunde Bakare has been appointed as a special adviser to Tinubu while Pat Utomi, an economist and member of the Labour Party has been appointed as the minister of development and national planning.

Human rights activist, Femi Falana, was also said to have been appointed as minister for justice.

‘Nothing can be further from the truth’
One of the names on the list, Utomi, has denied the claim that he has been appointed a minister by the Tinubu’s administration.

Utomi urged Nigerians to ignore the list.
“Nothing can be further from the truth,” The PUNCH quoted his spokesperson as saying.

Process of appointing ministers
Recall that the law passed by immediate former president Muhammadu Buhari, states that ministers are to be appointed within 60 days of the start of a new government.

The names are then sent for the lawmakers to critically examine the nominated ministers at the national assembly.

The process of confirming the nominees by the national assembly is likely to be televised live, similar to previous sessions.

None of the above scenarios have happened and no reputable media organization has reported such.

Is Aboki the main supplier of us dollars?

That many banks placed restrictions on their dollar debit cards should give you a hint.

Nigeria doesn't have enough forex to sustain the economy.

nedu666:
Where does aboki get his dollars from

jmoore:
Any one that is intelligent will tell you that FOREX is scarce.

Nigeria doesn't have enough forex to sustain the economy.

Floating the naira will still not have any postive impact.

DamianX:

The delusions too much

successmatters:
From what I can see, the APC will lose this presidential election.

On Peter Obi mandate does the whole Nigerian youths hope rest. He is the only candidate who has a good idea of how to solve most problems in this country, taking his background as a guide. He is the only person among the lot who was self employed and became a billionaire before the return to democracy. We need someone who can replicate his personal successes with the youths, and the whole country at large.

Vote Peter Obi if you want to see the life of the average Nigerian people change for the better.

You don't even know when & where the perenthesis symbol should be use🤓

I'm old enough to understand the sort of politics played in Nigeria. Also, I have read 'tons' of history books to know how events always play out.

Peter Obi is likely going to win at the tribunal. Not necessarily because he has unassailable evidence but to prevent Nigeria from sliding into a dangerous pit. Yes, Obi has enough evidence to win him the case any day but he isn't going to win based on the merit of his petition but to preserve Nigeria. Again, not because if Obi fails at the tribunal Igbos will automatically break away from Nigeria. No, Nigeria's breakup won't happen over night, it will take years of continuous deterioration and anarchy before it eventually implodes. That's how other countries with similar makeup broke up. Examples abound like USSR, Sudan, Ethiopia etc.

Believe me, North stands to lose more than even Igbos if Tinubu perpetuates himself. I can assure you that they've become very anxious and full of trepidation about the status quo and what it portends for them going forward. They never thought that Tinubu will emerge president. Their calculation was that Tinubu will contest against Atiku, then Atiku will sweep the polls but they didn't reckon that Obi will become a force through LP. Obi's emergence truncated their plans. To worsen things for them, Wike also messed up PDP in the South. So, when they realized that Atiku had no pathway to winning, they decided to align with Tinubu. Tinubu was more calculative than them and with enormous money at his disposal. As if that wasn't bad enough, a mugu like Buhari was president.

The last thing North wants is a powerful Southern president who can easily have his way. If they were uncomfortable with Tinubu before, now they're likely getting scared of him. The support Northerners are giving Tinubu now is not based on love but out of fear. The same people that stopped Awolowo and Abiola from becoming president based on what they stood for now have Tinubu who is obviously more unpredictable to contend with.

They also know that Tinubu will win a straight second term if he isn't stopped. 8 years of Tinubu will definitely ensure that political and economic power is fully controlled by Yorubas. Igbos can survive such situation, at least they haven't been in power since the end of civil war. Any serious hostility in Lagos will result to divestments and reinvestment in the East. But unfortunately for North, they will have no fall back position. Political power have always been their consolation. Losing it to Yorubas will make them extremely vulnerable and their future survival in Nigeria highly uncertain.

The tribunal is their last chance of stopping a state capture.

Gajagojo:
Did you notice Gbajabiamila voted yesterday for the new Speaker Tajudeen Abass ?
He has already been announced as Chief of Staff and by law he cannot be chief of staff and a member of the House of representatives.
He also took his oath as a member of the House of representatives.
I want to believe the aim was to make his vote count which is clever and that officially he is not yet chief of staff.
I expect him to resign from the House of representatives before resuming as Chief of Staff
