Lol. 46% of Americans say they they will cut back on restaurant dining this year. It’s not a surprise when you have to pay $11 for a burger combo, or $19 for an omelet combo

larride: So they cant think of any other way to punish Tinubu than making the whole country to suffer like this.
They can make secret alliance with Atiku or even Obi if they are anti-Tinubu and work for their emergence as President.
Nigerians do not deserve to go through what they are currently going through all because they want to punish one man.
Exactly! The presidency/CBN could have sent billions to either Atiku or Obi for vote-buying if they wanted Tinubu to lose.
I’m in favor of the currency re-design for the sole purpose of enhancing the currency’s security features. But the deadline should have been 4-5 months from the announcement of the policy.
raumdeuter: How does this work? to get highest vote count plus 25% in 24 states
And those 24 states include the FCT. For election purposes, the FCT is counted as a state. So, if Obi garners 25% or more in 4 zones, and picks up scraps in the NW and NE he will have shot at winning
For real, PO’s only HOPE of wining is to garner 30% in the SW and NC, and sweep both the SE and SS. He will likely hit less than 20% in the NW and NE zones.
Whether a govt is Republican or Democrat, something urgently needs to be done to improve the quality of life of 32% of US workers who earn less than $15/hr
raumdeuter: When has this type of deal ever worked in the history of politics
Serve one term and get out?
The ‘cabal’ struck the same deal with GEJ but he reneged on his part of the bargain by running in 2015, and we all know how that panned out.
My thinking is that the ‘cabal’ (from both APC and PDP) want someone who is amenable to them and has no political clout at Aso Rock, cos it’s much more easier to control Obi than to control either Tinubu or Atiku who have over 30 years of experience in politics and considerable wealth.
raumdeuter: "I believe there are element in the villa that want us to loose the election because they didn't get their way, they have their candidate and their candidate didn't win the primary and hiding behind president desire to do what he think it is right."
El Rufai
Those elements either want Atiku to win (due to ethnic solidarity) or want Obi to win because they may have struck a deal with Obi/Datti for the duo to serve one term if Obi wins..

JohnBullMySon: Randy will not invite Patricia. Another defender will be there instead. Regina Otu, I don't know what value she adds, maybe she does but I have not seen it. Onyenezide for me. I don't see Gift and Flourish both making the team. One will be dropped. Likely Flourish.
I won't take Onome to the WC if I was Randy though.
SlyFoxxWontDie: America’s current political climate is not sustainable. No country that it’s leaders spend 95% of their time fighting each other can remain a super power for long. It’s actually one of the symptoms of a dying empire; hyper-polarizations and partisanship.
Just look at the people on this thread as a microcosm of American politics in general. All they do is here is fight, post damaging and disparaging information about members of the opposite party and try to one up each other. No one has ever posted to say this is how republicans and democrats can work together to achieve XYZ for the American people. It’s all fight fight fight January to December.
That country does not have a functioning government anymore as far as I’m concerned. This is why China will soon overtake them. Becuase say what you want about the Chinese, their system of government ensures for unity and harmony amongst all those in power which gives the government great focus and the ability to achieve things much faster without any hindrance or opposition. Watch Bill Maher explain it perfectly;
Bill Maher hit the nail on the head! The bureaucracy from local to federal levels is slowing down economic growth in the U.S. I mean, how many people, aside from accountants, lobbyists, or lawyers have the time and will to navigate the 17,000-page federal tax code and numerous other 1000-page business regulations?
adamusuleiman1: Microsoft, which employs more than 220,000 people, including 6,000 in the UK, is said to be contemplating cutting roughly 5% of its workforce, which if accurate would equate to approximately 11,000 jobs.
