Pay attention to Minister Wike's well-being. Over the past few weeks, there have been noticeable changes in his appearance, suggesting that he may not be in good health and is under significant stress. It's crucial for Minister Wike to prioritize his health and seek appropriate medical care if needed. |

I only need to review your past posts and replies to others to determine that you don't deserve a response from me. People like you and the minister share a mindset that has held our country back. Unfortunately, if you keep this mentality, the nation will let you down when you need it most. And its a promise! You will go to a Nigerian hospital for a life saving intervention and they will tell you that the equipment is faulty. Based on your reply, I can tell you must be a tailor, likely the one who made the outfit, to have such strong convictions despite the facts presented to you. Orinechi: |

It's incredibly disheartening to see Nyesom Wike, someone who is supposed to represent and serve the Federal Capital Territory, wearing a Louis Vuitton Monogram Printed Denim Jacket & Pants worth over $5000. This isn't just about fashion,it's about the message it sends to millions of Nigerians struggling to make ends meet. Imagine what that money could have done if it was used differently. For example, it could have bought mobile ECG or ultrasound machines for hospitals in remote parts of Abuja or even in his own village. These machines could save lives by providing essential diagnostic services to people who have no other way to access quality healthcare. Our hospitals lack basic equipment, leading to unnecessary suffering and deaths.That money could have been used to provide clean drinking water to communities lacking this basic necessity, improve school facilities to ensure children get a better education, or create job training programs to help young Nigerians develop skills and find employment. These are just a few of the many areas where those funds could have made a real difference in people's lives. This kind of display is a stark reminder of how disconnected many of our politicians are from the everyday realities of the people they are supposed to serve. The country has never seen such widespread hardship, and it's frustrating to see leaders flaunting their wealth with no regard for the economic struggles of ordinary Nigerians. Corruption seems to be the norm, with no fear of consequences, and no empathy for the plight of the average citizen. Nigeria is living its worst nightmare. 1 Share

These firearms are being legally purchased by the elites for their personal protection, while the general population continues to suffer from rampant insecurity. However, when the time comes, even these weapons won't be enough to save the elites from the inevitable consequences. 1 Like |

In Nigeria, it's a common trend that when public officials pass away, there's a sudden outpouring of praise and admiration for qualities that were not evident when they were alive. For instance, in the case of Gen Attahiru, who died in an Air Crash attributed to the inexperienced pilots in the cockpit, it feels disingenuous to portray him as solely capable of making a positive impact.

The suggested adult dosage ratio for ACT (Artemisinin Based Combination Treatments like Lonart, Coartem, ARMATEM) is 80/480, but the one he purchased is 20/120. Therefore, he will require four tablets to achieve the equivalent recommended adult dose. The quantity of tablets is not the main concern; potential issues may stem from the drug's quality, or, as others have pointed out, factors like tinnitus and other considerations might be contributing to his complaints. ufotunang: |

Business / Re: Banks Will Accept Old Naira Notes After Deadline - Emefiele by pavoda: 5:35pm On Jan 31, 2023 |
How many nations have implemented a complete currency change as part of a cashless policy? I don't oppose the policy itself; my concern lies more with the confusion Emefiele causes when discussing economic issues. It's crucial to communicate clearly. Just asserting that the cashless policy was introduced in 2012 doesn't automatically make you well-informed, in my opinion. FOH Parachoko: |

Business / Can We Reconfirm Emefiele As Worst CBN Governor Ever? by pavoda: 3:04pm On Jan 31, 2023 |
Since the turn of 60s when Nigeria became independent, the apex bank has never lacked men of quality in control, with outstanding intelligence and brilliance, keen and shrewd minds, admirable banking and financial skills, helicopter views on economy and above all, undoubted patriotism. From the era of Alhaji Aliyu Mai Bornu, the first indigenous CBN governor to Clement Nsong to Adamu Ciroma to Ola Vincent to AbdulKadir Ahmed, the longest serving CBN governor to the very industrious Joseph Sanusi to data and statistics savvy Charles Soludo and of course, banking sector reformer of note, Lamido Sanusi, Nigeria has had great men of vision, ideas and exceptional qualities who have presided over the apex bank. Each registered his bold footprints at the sands of the Nigerian economy and banking sector. It’s doubtful whether we could conveniently situate Godwin Emefiele in the class of the aforementioned. His regime has been characterized by confusion and policy somersault so much that Nigerians keep wondering why the president has not deemed it fit to send him packing. Under his watch, the CBN management of foreign exchange has been appalling and simply put, tragic. His era has caused so much pain, agony and tribulation for Nigerians as their purchasing power has continually remained on downward trend. He has succeeded in impoverishing Nigerians. On account of the dwindling fortunes of Naira, many manufacturing companies have gone into extinction. Also, over the last few years, the apex bank seems to have lost focus and direction in the management of monetary policy. Monetary policy includes periodic revising of interests’ rates and changing bank reserve requirements. Essentially, monetary policy is a set of actions designed to control a nation’s overall money supply. The monetary policy management is to ensure that CBN takes control when money supply in the economy needs to be contracted or expanded. But, what has the nation been treated to? Spiral inflation even when CBN is contracting the money supply! How many users of funds are accessing facilities in the banks on account of the high cost of funds? CBN response to management of liquidity and reserve ratio in the banks most times are also untimely, thus making their policy counterproductive. Nigeria also has at the helm of affairs a CBN governor who is simply political in all ramifications. This is the first time our nation is in this quagmire. His bid for APC presidency has given him out as a public officer who is no longer suitable for the office. Nigeria needs a CBN governor who embodies professionalism and astuteness and not one who is apex bank helmsman during the day, but wears the garb of a political lord in the night. The CBN management of POS nationwide is also a point of concern. Banks today prefer funding POS operators as against their ATM terminals on account of accruable commissions at the expense of longsuffering Nigerians. Most times, POS operators are just within corridors of banks canvassing for their business while the ATMs are not dispensing. This development is mostly at its height on weekends. The news in the public domain is that most POS operators are indeed agents of bankers working very close to where they operate. This is indeed a dereliction of duty and ineffectiveness on the part of CBN. This should not be the practice with a CBN that is alive to its responsibility by exercising absolute control and monitoring on operations of banks nationwide. Over the past few years, the CBN management of foreign reserves too is also not salutary. If Naira continually dwindles against foreign currencies on account of CBN currency manipulation, the nation foreign reserves would forever be at the receiving end. That accounts for why foreign reserves have been in the back and forth state. All motion, no movement! It’s also not in doubt that since the emergence of incumbent CBN governor, there have not been synergy between fiscal and monetary authorities. On a periodic basis, the two policies must synchronize for the betterment of the economy, and ultimately welfare of the generality of Nigerians. CBN governor knows he can’t operate effectively without marrying monetary policies with the development in tax and government expenditure, yet he has continued to remain aloof. It would be foolhardy and inimical to continue to retain Godwin Emefiele as CBN governor with so many ugly developments the nation’s economy and financial sector have witnessed since his assumption of office. This is therefore an auspicious time for the president to relieve him of his post. Kola Amzat (FCA, FCIB) |

This unquestionably undermines the intent of this policy. While it might aid in recovering funds outside the banking system, the current lack of clarity on when banks will stop accepting the old notes is a significant issue. The entire procedure is ambiguous and enshrouded in confusion, reflecting a consistent pattern under the leadership of Godwin Emefiele as the CBN governor. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Osun: How BVAS Exposed PDP’s Rigging Machine By Ismail Omipidan by pavoda: 11:00pm On Jan 30, 2023 |
If you're open to understanding and gaining knowledge, I suggest revisiting the New Electoral Act 2022. In contrast to the Electoral Act 2010, Gubernatorial Elections Petition cases no longer conclude at the Court of Appeal but can extend to the Supreme Court. It appears you may be mixing up the provisions of these two statutes. victorsola: |

Contrary to your statement, the new electoral act indicates a different outcome, and this matter is likely to reach the Supreme Court. Regardless, a conclusive judgment must be reached within 120 days. It is advisable for you to acquaint yourself with the details of the electoral act and refrain from making uninformed statements. jahsharon: |

INEC's decision not to appeal the case doesn't imply acceptance of the judgment's validity. The PDP has promptly filed an appeal, and it's likely they will prevail at the appellate court. There seems to be a mix-up in the sequence of the case, and it's essential for you to delve deeper into the ruling. The Tribunal Chairman based his judgment on the BVAS report, which is a form of secondary evidence rather than the primary evidence—the machine itself, which accredits votes and generates reports without an internet connection, leading to potential delays and transmission issues. In the worst-case scenario, applying the statutes outlined in the current electoral act, the most the APC can expect is a rerun in areas where votes were voided due to over-voting. seunmsg:

Justice P. Ogbuli disagreed with the majority judgment, saying that there are two BVAS reports and since there are inconsistencies in the two reports presented by both petitioners and respondents, the majority judgment should have considered the results of physical extraction from BVAs because it is the primary source of data of which the petitioners did not oppose. Ogbuli therefore dismissed Oyetola’s petition and upheld the victory of Adeleke. 4 Likes

All these permutations are valid, In the end its a political appointment and he is very much in the race.The Dasuki Galadanchi i know is not a young chap by any stretch He was enlisted into the NPF IN 1990. Galadanchi has been the favoured candidate for the northern lobby but AIG Jitoboh has a great chance too. fergie001: |

2028 to be precise.He still has the chance! he should be due for promotion to AIG by 2024. Some AIGs have been elevated to IGP, Ibrahim Kpotun Idris the 19th Inspector General of Police and Suleiman Abba the 17th Inspector General of Police come to mind. So this will put him firmly in positon for IGP. The current IGP was due for retirement but has been extended. fergie001: |
