Emilokan is busy forming one party state which will eventually sink him. The basic aim of elections is to have good governance and not that Africans particularly like that concept. If tinubu had come in and brought dollar down to less than 200 naira, fuel down to less than 100 naira, used technology to defeat terrorism and kidnappings to barest minimums, fixed federal highways, citizens getting electricity at least minimum of 8-10 hours everyday…nobody would care about 2027 or what he does in 2027 but his dismal failure the worst in Nigerian history have pushed majority of Nigerians looking up 2027 as a hope of redemption from tinubu

And you forgot to add that Tinubu should bring down fire from heaven.

How will he bring exchange rate down to 200? When he took office, the CBN had only $3bn, and it was owing buyers $7bn. At $1 -440, the CBN could not supply enough dollars, if the price is reduced to N200 as you suggested and the demand is $20bn, where will you get the dollars from?


Whatever exchange rate you have, you must be able to defend it. Defend means that you have SUFFICIENT forex to supply at that exchang rate.
The ultimate determinant of an exchange rate is the market or market forces. Neither the government nor CBN is the ultimate decider.

Let me give an example. Imagine the price of oil is $100 per barrel, and the country is selling 1mbpd, that is $100m daily. That is $100m flowing in daily. Then oil prices drops to $50 per barrel. That means $50m is coming in daily. With the reduced inflow, will you pay more for dollars or less? You will have to pay more

As for oil subsidy, how will Tinubu reduce the price of petrol to N100/litre. A litre of crude oil is at least N500 per litre! The fuel s7bsidy isn't free. It is very costly.

Let me explain how the fuel subsidy works.

Let's say the country produces 20bn litres of crude oil yearly. Let's assume crude oil is N500 per litre.

To sell the petrol to you at N100, the government's sets aside 6bn litres of crude oil to sell at N80.

So, from 6bn litres of crude oil, the government will earn 6bn x N80 = 480bn.

The remain 14bn litres, it sells at N500 which is 7trillion. So total income from crude oil is 7tr + 480bn wh8ch is 7.48trillion

If the government had sold the entire 20bn at N500, it would have earned 10trillion.

Now, let's say the budget for that year is 9trillion. Because of the fuel subsidy the revenue is only 7.48tr. There will be a budget deficit of the 1.52tr. governmenr will have to borrow 1.52trillion. Without the fuel subsidy, there would have been a budget surplus of 10tr-9tr = 1tr

The fuel subsidy has been forcing the government to borrow heavily for years. The borrowing has become too much and it's killing the economy. The fuel subsidy was a major reason for borrowing under Buharis government.

In 2015, 26% of government revenue was used for servicing debt. By May 2023, it was 97% of gocernment revenue. Imagine receiving your salary of 500k and being left with 15k after you settle debt? Must anyone hear it?

At the end of the day Atiku will be your president, old man that has stolen wealth that his 100 generations cannot finish. What is the difference between ADC and APC? Una dey jubilate as if ADC na party from heaven. Nigerians we have a very long way to go! The circle remains.

If the north wanted Atiku he would have been president the last 3 times he tried for the seat.

What you simpletons refuse to acknowledge is that northerners are the only people that vote to give others a chance even if they’re not their tribes men.

But when you get in seat your arrogance and ignorance brings you to a point you are reminded that this Nigeria belongs to those that put their blood on the line over and over again- and that is the north.

You all claim to believe in something. Get up and show us the country you want. It’s not with mouth or sycophancy.

When we talk you call us names. When we are on seat you work against us, promote the morally corrupt to enable them wreck our region? When we show you those that can work you ignore them and keep pushing those that destroy?

It is well. The countdown has begun. Shebi we’re doing democracy? Let’s go there.

Coming from a novice that doesn't understand politics, to you politics na mathematics. To start with I didn't say Atiku will be president go back and read to comprehend.
Regardless political equations changes if they don't want him then they can want him now. You need to upgrade your political knowledge and your unrelated comments.

Dey play ... in 2014 PDP were hoping that APC would not survive except Buhari picks Tinubu. When Buhari picked little known Osinbajo, Tinubu had to queue behind them. Wait until after the primaries, even Obi or Atiku will queue behind the winner. ADC is about rescuing Nigeria from a bunch of disastrous leaders.

Tinubu offered Osibanjo. Buhari wasn't the one that found him.

Why ACN Supported Tambuwal – Tinubu

Leadership

Tue, 07/06/2011 - 5:18am | JAMES UME Cover Stories

Former Lagos State governor and national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu has named national interest as the reason ACN members in the House gave a bloc vote to the candidature of Tambuwal, which led to his subsequent emergence as Speaker. Tinubu gave this insight at a reception in honour of ACN House members at the Ogun State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

He said that the party’s took its position in order to advance the interest of the nation in the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
Tinubu, who drove into the reception venue in company of Chief Segun Osoba, said he was under tremendous pressure to toe the line of the PDP to support a South West candidate for the position but had to halt his support for any candidate based on his conviction that the legislature was a separate arm of government that should be allowed to produce its own leaders independently.

He hinted that he personally instructed all ACN members to vote for Tambuwal and not to collect a kobo from any other candidate.

In his speech, Chief Bisi thanked the lawmakers, noting that he was proud of them and that the ACN would continue to play such formidable role in this administration.

What happened to the cases of those who are aligned with the party hierarchy, like Akpabio, Ganduje, Omisore, Goje etc?

chisomkachy:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.

He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.

He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.

“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.

“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Maybe you mean to say 17 years in your comment. Don't join them talking this cos it holds no water. We all voted yaradua but nobody had power over death, except God. It wasn't as if someone assassinated him.

Going back in the military days, which was also part of the Nigeria's journey as a nation, the north had ruled more than any region in this country and am wondering why they're not looking back and talking about that. The only southerner who ruled for a reasonable period in that era was obasanjo and he didn't do up to 4 years as military head of state. It's been north most of the time. What about that? Or would they jettison military rule and say Nigeria has been witnessing only civiil rule all along? Haba!

In both the military and civilian administrations, the north have ruled for almost 50 years, out of our 65 years of existence.

It's either the north supports obi to clinch the ADC ticket while they pick a running mate from the north or we down south would support Tinubu the known devil in 2027. If the ADC should do this and jettison the inordinate ambition of some politicians among them, obi will win massively.

How can the north have ruled for 50 out of 65 years when the south was president for the six years of the first republic?

Did we vote for the military dictators in tribal zoning arrangements?

Do they vote in tribal zoning agreements for the heads of state in the countries that we pray and fast to japa to?

edet19892015:
Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.

According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth,
1. The idiots,
2. The tribesmen, and
3. The citizens.

Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens.
The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.

1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word.
Idiots are people who just don’t care.
If they sit for exams, they will cheat.
If they are in government they will steal.

An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.

IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.

In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.

According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.

2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.

These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe.
It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.

When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.

A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen

3. The last group are "Citizens".
These are people who like to do things the right way.
They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.

They drive within speed limits.
They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams.
In government, they won’t steal.
They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.

Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone.
The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".

Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.

A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation.
And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.

But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.

Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life.
Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.

Can you imagine the irony that Buhari jailed Jakande for corruption but handed over to ebilokan, the most corrupt politician ever

Splashme:
The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

Jonathan met over $20bn in the Excess Crude Accounr. There was over $50bn in the foreign reserves. OBJ had reduced the external debt from $35bn to $5bn.

You did no research.

What yeye tribalism? Were the two economists who performed beautifully during OBJ's rule not Igbo speaking, Soludo and Okonjo Iweala? The same woman served under Jonathan but couldn't perform as much because GEJ was not as supportive. She urged him to save money with crude oil at $100/barrel, he did not support her.

Why ACN Supported Tambuwal – Tinubu

Leadership

Tue, 07/06/2011 - 5:18am | JAMES UME Cover Stories

Former Lagos State governor and national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu has named national interest as the reason ACN members in the House gave a bloc vote to the candidature of Tambuwal, which led to his subsequent emergence as Speaker. Tinubu gave this insight at a reception in honour of ACN House members at the Ogun State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

He said that the party’s took its position in order to advance the interest of the nation in the lower chamber of the National Assembly.
Tinubu, who drove into the reception venue in company of Chief Segun Osoba, said he was under tremendous pressure to toe the line of the PDP to support a South West candidate for the position but had to halt his support for any candidate based on his conviction that the legislature was a separate arm of government that should be allowed to produce its own leaders independently.

He hinted that he personally instructed all ACN members to vote for Tambuwal and not to collect a kobo from any other candidate.

In his speech, Chief Bisi thanked the lawmakers, noting that he was proud of them and that the ACN would continue to play such formidable role in this administration.

If all this happened this citizens would have been the ones to fight for his 3rd term not just 2027

Your response is lazy uneducated.

Jonathan met over $20bn in the Excess Crude Accounr. There was over $50bn in the foreign reserves. OBJ had reduced the external debt from $35bn to $5bn.

You did no research.

What yeye tribalism? Were the two economists who performed beautifully during OBJ's rule not Igbo speaking, Soludo and Okonjo Iweala? The same woman served under Jonathan but couldn't perform as much because GEJ was not as supportive. She urged him to save money with crude oil at $100/barrel, he did not support her.

Look at the trash you are typing that Jonathan that had dollar at less than 200 naira did not perform beautifully but Emilokan that ruined same to almost 2000 is doing well …tribalism don do una brain smack down . Please stop stop quoting me with this rubbish as my 7 year old child reasons better than this but I won’t blame you but shame on British racists and lord lugard that put all of us in same country

ADC ,
Association of Democratic Conspiracy.
They will soon scatter their table themselves because of individual ambition.

You are being emotional. I have absolutely nothing to gain if Mulikat or Tambuwal was Speaker. But the truth remains what it is.

I cannot blame the Yorubas for kicking out Jonathan because he declared a political war on them and would have put them in political oblivion if they had not fought back. Jonathan allowed himself to be poisoned by the south east to hate the south west and he got what he got.

I am not one of your emotional southerners who don't view issues with logic. I am a northern Muslim born and bred in the north but I didn't support Buhari's political ambition in 2015 because Jonathan was my preferred candidate and I know how a lot of fellow northerners came at me for my position.

Layi4real:
you are dealing with a different breed this time around. This is not Obasanjo or Jonathan. This is Jagaban the master planner. u think if he believes so much in north winning him the second time he wouldn't have been doing everything to pleases them instead of offending them just to get reelected. there are 1001 ways to get reelected nd he is gonna shock you guys. just make sure una get enough lawyer by 2027 bcus na courts go be ADC PDP LP base while Jagaban continue rulling.

Wait now. You plan, he plans, we all plan, but God is the greatest of all planners.

Some of you will understand that you cannot cheat God no matter how clever you think you are.

If God doesn't want him in that position he wouldn't have gotten there on the first place. So God want him there

God also wanted Yar Adua and Jonathan.

When your time to perform is up it is up.

He has another one year to show us why he should remain on seat. It is not a given or his right and if it is by performance then his time is up.

So far appointing mediocres in the name of politics and using the country and positions for promotion by his “inner caucus” while people are starving and being unsafe is not the way.

Not supporting Nigerian businesses while going to go and bring crooked foreigners that our neighbours have the sense to chase out is not the way.

It’s not up to anyone to say he won’t be reelected — let God decide his fate. And let Baba remain optimistic about himself. Every government will be viewed differently depending on perspective. As you're claiming he’s the worst, others are seeing things from completely different angles.

To me, he’s the best thing that has ever happened to this country. And before you assume I’m benefiting from his government, I’m not. Even as a student, I didn’t apply for NELFUND, and neither I nor my parents are involved in politics or enjoying any personal benefit from his administration.

But if you are intelligent enough and remove sentiment from your judgment, you’ll realize he’s actually doing his best and making bold moves. Aside from hunger and inflation which I admit are serious issues — he’s genuinely trying.

And let’s be honest: these two problems were bound to come sooner or later. You can’t remove fuel subsidy and expect the economy to remain untouched. Even a country as strong as the USA would feel the impact not to talk of Nigeria.

With time, these reforms will begin to yield positive results if we’re patient enough. But if we can’t wait, and we keep changing governments every time a reform doesn’t favor us immediately, then we’ll keep repeating the same cycle.

At the end of the day, we may come to realize that we the people are the real problem of this nation, especially because of our impatience. Reformation takes time to yield results.
