What the entire ruling class has for the people is contempt. Arifin in Yoruba, or "see finish" in Pidgin. I am actually impressed by the audacity of it all. This issue is something the government in most other countries would never try, for fear of being toppled.

If the narrative about punishing Tinubu is spreading then how will it be perceived that in order to punish Tinubu you decide to punish 150M people

If Tinubu wins then by Feb 27 they will relax and print more money or they start food scarcity

Buhari don fix date of subsidy removal for June 2023 after he leaves office so President Tinubu walks into a nationwide riot fueled by those pained by election loss and now add citizens who are suffering from subsidy removal

So after we will go and beg Buhari to come back as interim govt

Spy360:
If Tinubu was not involved I sure say you for dey defend Buhari.

Spy360:
You were given 31st January to deposit all old notes, you didn't. An extension of ten days was given, you didn't. Even if you were given till thy kingdom come, you still won't.

I know I am being insensitive as there are many who are just victims of this whole thing.

The real blame goes to the APC governors and Buhari that gave the extension of the deadline. And also the Supreme Court for medling with economic policies that doesn't concern them.

Irrespective of whether you support the policy or not, the key point here is just comply. If it fails then we can now hold the appropriate quarters responsible. As it stands now, what we will be hearing is accusations and counter accusations.

Olowunl01:
The whole situation doesnt make sense; Normally I accept alot of things doesnt make sense when it comes to Nigeria; but this is a different level; like how do you explain that you pay 10-20% to buy same currency?
Ok, I get that you have taken out n1000, n500, n200 why not flood ATM's with n100 or even n50 so people who really need to transact in cash suffer less inconvenience - not unavailability.

DontBullshitMe:
I don't even know what to say to you.

See, the issue at hand is not about the refusal of people to deposit their old notes. It is the scarcity of new notes which delayed its quick circulation. Because of this, majority of banks still offer old notes for withdrawal up until two days ago.[/b]When banks offer old notes as replacement for old notes and people still have to queue for long hours before even getting it, the people will be forced to perpetually transact with old notes.

People complied totally with the directive. It is the CBN that decided to fail in its part. Because I don't even understand, should economic transactions be paused till CBN can print enough new notes?

The fault is 100% on CBN and by extension the FG.

BlueRayDick:
The bold is totally untrue . Please Name the banks that offered old notes for withdrawal as at two days ago. Mention one bank and the particular branch u visited where they offered u old N1,000, N500 and N200 naira notes for withdrawal either via ATM or Over The Counter .

BY REGINALD TOBIN

In this country, it is unlikely for a Presidential aspirant who is not running under the two major political parties to be a contender in the election. That person will not even gather massive support in the first place.

The few supporters who may hang around such person may likely be family members, close associates and people who must have been paid to do so.

However, In the build up to the 2023 elections which is not too far from now, things seem to be taking a different turn.

Labour Party’s Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi seems to be changing the paradigm and bringing a new wave into the Nigerian political arena. His cause is fast gathering momentum.

Obi had first declared his intention to vie for the highest political office in the country under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party. But Obi, in what i call a strategic political calculation quickly resigned from the PDP and joined Labour Party to pursue his ambition, going ahead to clinch the party’s Presidential Ticket. That, I consider a smart move.

Obi knew he stood no chance in the PDP, since his kind of politics does not reckon with that of the party. If you must win the Presidential ticket of the PDP, you must be ready to get involved in the “dollar play,” and it is obvious Obi wasn’t in for such. Hence he looked for another platform to pursue his ambition.

It is evident that Obi’s party, Labour, does not have the required structure or even finance to wrestle the Presidential seat with the big wigs, but Obi’s persona has since elevated and brought upon the party a good number of supporters and volunteers which I believe the party has never had since it’s formation.

Obi’s supporters have completely taken over the social media space. I know elections won’t be conducted on social media anyway. But even out of social media, a good number of Nigerians are also routing for him. They cut across young and old people from different ethnic and religious divides. Obi’s supporters and volunteers are numerous.

It’s true that not all Obi’s supporters are registered voters. While some are, some are not. But if those who wish that he becomes President in 2023 all have their permanent voters cards ready before election, I am sure that the Anambra born Businessman and Politician will do far better than some political analysts have predicted.

Still don’t be surprised if before the election, it turns out that about 90 percent of his supporters are eligible voters, because the rate at which his people troop into INEC registration centers to register and get their PVCs is alarming. I have two persons in my workplace who have registered because they want to vote for him. If there is one thing I know, it is that Obi’s supporters are real and genuine. Anyone in doubt of this is certainly not in touch with reality.

But For Obi, a man who is not willing to throw money around unlike his rivals in other parties to still warm his way into the heart of the masses is striking and surprising. Ideally, that is how it ought to be, but that hasn’t been the case in Nigeria anyway.

Obi alone has formed the most popular third force in Nigeria’s politics in recent times.

But what could be Obi’s selling point? Is it because his region (South East) ideally ought to produce the next President of the country? is it because of his style of politics or his past record in public office and style of governance?

As governor of Anambra State, it is a known fact that Obi managed the state’s resources judiciously and paid more attention to things of value, like education. It is also said that he handed over 75billion naira to his successor, while vacating office after his tenure as governor.

For me, one thing I have seen in him is sincerity. Obi is sincere, even when he speaks, you see it in his words. So far, he is the only aspirant who I feel has better knowledge of reviving the economy through local production and one who will prioritize education. Under Obi, maybe our universities will no longer go on strike. The issues between Federal Government and ASUU may also be a thing of the past.

Personally, I like Obi. I like his politics. I like his person. I like the fact that he doesn’t try to be like other politicians just to win the people over. He tells you he doesn’t share money and he doesn’t. Love him or hate him, it doesn’t change him. He is just himself.

I know very well that Peter Obi’s support base is still growing. Day after day, more people are joining his ship. But, he still has some work to do. Apart from the East where he is most likely to have grassroot support, Obi’s supporters in other geo political zones are mostly found in urban areas. He needs to begin to hit the grassroots. He needs to start building structures for his party around the country, especially the north. He needs to further strengthen his campaign all over the country. He needs to begin work immediately. If he can achieve this, then, his road to victory will not have too many hurdles. I wish him well.

What are his chances of becoming governor after SanwoOlu. or will it be Hamzat

Donjazet2:
Yeah the rat strikes again.

You are the same person that mocked a governor for sharing kerosene to the masses but here you are, applauding the very same electoral gimmick..

You of all people know that all these rubbish schemes is a way to cajole voters this election, meanwhile this was the same person who has overseen one of the very worst house of representatives in Nigeria's history. From endemic corruption of padded budgets to abandoning his constituents to study abroad while in service.

And now he's buying 35 buses..

What the hell is 35 buses going to do for lagosiansin his constituents? Imagine, 35 buses and you think it's worth of adulation! Shame on you!!

Meanwhile I wouldn't expect you to know that in sane climes, legisilatirs are not responsible for carrying out executive projects like these, their sole function is to make and draft laws and oversee committees, not carry out so-called "projects".
