of course, she does.Majority of the one vote is avoiding APC.

If this makes you sleep well at night, hear you

Racoon:
Hehehe! They think the common man is joking. Behind every inflation statistic is a household making difficult choices. Families are reducing the number of meals they eat each day, cutting healthcare expenses, postponing education plans or abandoning savings altogether.

Nigeria’s inflation figures may be improving on paper, but millions of citizens are still waiting to feel the difference in their pockets. For many families, the real test is not whether inflation falls by a few percentage points.

It is whether they can afford food, transportation, rent and basic necessities without slipping deeper into financial hardship. Until that happens, the cost-of-living crisis will remain one of the most important issues facing Nigerians across the country.

She doesn't have one vote again? No vex, asking for a friend

BigCowHornn:
The CIA has nothing to do with it

It is the FBI ... Federal bureau of investigation

And the DEA ... Drug air forcement agency


Your mentor and president is not just a criminal he is a drug Baron


The reason why the FBI does not want to release the files the first place is very simple but you are not understanding it even though they have pointed it out to you several times

The rich pay bill to protect a rat who gave them enough information to take down a drug syndicate operating from Chicago to Indiana right across the globe to Asia

It is not about the rat it is about the deal... Did dedication of the United States government to keep a deal when a drug pusher decides to turn Federal witness to give useful information that helps take down other drug rings

The United States has to show that it is willing to fight to keep the details and identity of any witness hidden no matter what it takes

If not no weakness will ever come out from the mafia or all those deadly drug syndicates and gangs from South America


Make no mistake the way they are fighting this thing your president is a drug lord with deep ties. But when did United States started investigating his cartel he was the first person to start singing and he was smart enough to make a deal first.

That is exactly what happened 30 years ago. It is what those experience lawyers in the US are telling you but you are not listening


Kisses like this is not new in the United States. You see it all the time with drug investigations that run very deep

As it stands now everybody do United States knows that bola tinubu is a high ranking drug lord of some kind who turned to a rat to save his skin. It is only in Nigeria that you people are deceiving yourself

No need for the tantrum over a simple question which you still didn't answer but went on and on with infantile rant!

Well, we've seen this drama before with Hundeyin chasing shadows!

Without nothing released, all you have are conjectures!

Enjoy it while it lasts!

VoiceHenshaw27:
Honestly, the release of this files doesn't have any effect to Tinubu 2027 aspiration, maybe only for propaganda which for me is a tools of politics.

The Double Jeopardy Clause is part of the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United State. It generally means that once:
You are acquitted (found not guilty), the government cannot prosecute you again for the same crime.

You are convicted, the government generally cannot try you again for the same offense.

You have already been punished for an offense, the government generally cannot impose another punishment for that same offense.

Example:
If someone is tried for burglary and a jury finds them not guilty, prosecutors cannot simply retry the case because they found new evidence or didn't like the verdict.

So, I'm not seen any need wasting this whole time crying over spilled milk.

It's all pure waste of time like the certificate wild goose chase drama that went poof after 2023...let the opposition do better than chasing ghosts!

BigCowHornn:
I am an American of Igbo origin and I tell you that the United States does not operate like you do here in Nigeria


President book can be the head of the trouble organization but the day he decides step forward to confess in the assistance of an investigation he becomes a protected witness.

He will be the only one that will not go to jail while all the rest will rot in jail

Nonetheless he still a rat

From the look of things that is the back door your president used to step out of that case

but the question now is what was his role in the drugs syndicate and that is what he is hide

Ahh we have an American here...please do also tell us why the FBI/CIA don't also want the files released...

stagger:
Depp still lost his acting career completely. Got kicked out of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise too. He lost everything.

Hmmmm...nawao o

It's a very big deal for our economy, Nigeria is on the rise.

FTSE Russell, MSCI and S&P Dow Jones Indices classify equity markets for international investors. Their three familiar tiers are:
1. Developed Market
2. Emerging Market
3. Frontier Market
There is also a fourth category used when a market cannot appropriately sit in those investable universes: Standalone / Unclassified, depending on the provider.

For Nigeria,
1980s → Developing economy / small capital market
↓
1990s → Emerging/frontier-type market developing
↓
2000s → Frontier market
↓
2010s → Strong frontier-market position, with hopes of emerging-market promotion
↓
2020–23 → Serious deterioration in international market accessibility
↓
2023–24 → MSCI & S&P move Nigeria out of Frontier into Standalone
↓
2023–26 → FTSE moves Nigeria to Unclassified
↓
September 2026 → FTSE returns Nigeria to Frontier

This clearly shows we're back on the progress ladder. Things are getting better, not worse.
By September 2014, Nigeria was firmly classified by FTSE as a Frontier Market. FTSE's 2014 classification table places Nigeria among Frontier markets alongside countries such as Kenya, Ghana, Mauritius, Qatar, Romania and Vietnam.
In 2016, FTSE put Nigeria on a watch list concerning its status as a Frontier market. By 2017, FTSE decided to retain Nigeria as a Frontier market rather than move it out of the classification.
Foreign investors don't just care about whether Nigerian companies are profitable.
They need to be able to:
invest → buy shares → sell shares → convert naira → obtain foreign currency → repatriate their money.
When that mechanism becomes unreliable, the country's investability rating deteriorates.
Nigeria's foreign-exchange liquidity and capital-repatriation problems became particularly serious from around 2020 onward.
Foreign investors were having difficulty repatriating capital and that it had consequently suspended certain index-related actions on Nigerian stocks.

In September 2025, FTSE put Nigeria on its watch list for possible restoration to Frontier status because the FX situation had improved sufficiently to meet its Frontier-market requirements.

Then in April 2026, FTSE officially announced:
Nigeria from Unclassified to Frontier.
The change is scheduled to become effective 21 September 2026.
FTSE says Nigeria now meets the five FTSE Quality of Markets criteria required for Frontier status, following improvements in FX queues and the ability of international institutional investors to repatriate capital.

This is like a huge signal. Nigeria is reopening a major financial highway to international capital. More foreign investment can come into Nigerian companies. This can mean more demand for shares of Nigerian companies such as banks, telecoms, consumer companies and industrial firms.
More demand brings potentially higher share valuations, and then companies can raise capital more cheaply.

Suppose a Nigerian company wants to raise ₦100 billion. If international investors regard Nigeria as difficult or risky to access, the company has to offer a much higher expected return to attract investors.
But if international investors become more comfortable with the market, the cost of equity capital can fall. That makes it easier for companies to expand factories, build telecommunications infrastructure, finance technology, acquire businesses, create jobs, and expand across Africa.

It's why folks like us get inconvenient with opposition spoiling Nigeria or scaring foreigners from Nigeria. It's shooting the country in the foot, self-destruction. It's easier to destroy than build. But when we talk, they call us evil, paid, devil and whatever other name. Shooting Nigeria in the foot hurts us all, not just politicians or some political party.

This beautiful development can help Nigeria attract long-term institutional investors. We're talking about institutions such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds, ETFs, insurance companies, asset managers, university/endowment funds.
Many of these institutions don't simply decide, "Nigeria looks interesting; let's buy Nigerian stocks." They operate within investment mandates and benchmark rules. If Nigeria is excluded from an investable index, a fund tracking that index may have little or no reason—or sometimes the mandate—to hold Nigerian securities.
Getting back into the FTSE Frontier universe puts Nigeria back on the radar.

It can improve liquidity on the Nigerian Exchange. This is particularly important.
With additional FX supply, we strengthen the naira indirectly due to large and persistent inflow on the private side.

For the average Nigerian, more international investment leads to more capital available to Nigerian companies, which leads to business expansion and investment.
This brings more production + employment, which will cause higher tax revenues and economic activity, and then potentially higher incomes and living standards for the average Nigerian ready to work and tap from the opportunities.
In church, we'd call it open door/breakthrough. The real prize is what Nigeria does after the door opens.

I scantily read the thread but I was hooked on your submission till the very last word.

You broke it down and made it quite understandable beyond the "hype"!

Thank you.

nairalanda1:
Let's wait for the trial.

No one can answer this your question, because you are asking essentially why human beings lie. We go dey here for the next 1 year discussing that question.

I get your point but the point is there should also be stiff penalties too for making false claims if not men will be on "Go-Pro mode Always" like Peller so they can have evidence to save their necks!

Nothing healthy in living life that way!

A good example:
Amber heard accused Depp of Domestic abuse+
Depp sued her for 5Mili
Amber counter-sued for 10mili

They went to trial and Amber's story wasn't adding up. Amber was asked to pay Depp 1mili.

Let's imagine Depp was convicted on that false accusation, he will go to jail and lose everything but there was Amber made to pay Depp ONLY a mili after she was found out..how now?

Hope U get my point?

cr7lomo:
And what happens to women that claim false rape in the UK or US....they do that just because they dont also hold them accountable as u claim they dont hold men accountable in naija for rape... despite seeing alot go to jail for rape...now mention the women that go to jail for false rape claims ...

This is why men have to BE CAREFUL! Their justice system favours the women folk on matters like this! This is unfortunate though!

Denko2721987:
They play.. Just they play until woman mean you then you go know how far..

Na him woman never mean you?

nairalanda1:
The courts are there to determine if it is a real vs fake rape case, plus not all women make false claims of rape. Rape happens.

Of course not ALL, but the key point is why make a FALSE ONE in the first place and walk away like nothing happened and the accused is left with the dent of that accusation?

safarifarms:
I wonder if they'll do same for police officers.

Hmm.., Why don't you think so?

Eba50:
but u know say them dey arrange the exam b4 now.nobody write exams with their head again

😂 I hear you, but na exactly why I wrote it. Even if exam questions are “arranged,” the child still needs to understand what he’s reading when the question changes or life throws something wey no dey past questions. Na that self-learning part the guide focuse on.

I want to say something that may offend some parents, so let me start with my own shame.

My son scored 289 in JAMB. Everybody celebrated. Relatives called. My mother prayed on the phone for eleven minutes. For three weeks, I was the proudest man on my street.

Then I asked him to explain a chapter on photosynthesis he had just studied.

Not the definition. Just explain what happens inside a leaf, in your own words.

He couldn't.

He gave me the textbook definition, word for word. When I pushed him to explain it differently, he looked at me and said, “Daddy, is it not the same thing?”

No. It isn't.

That night I realised my son hadn't really been learning. He had been storing.

The Examination Is Not the Education

Our children are often trained to recognise answers, not understand ideas. They memorise patterns, match questions to past papers, and reproduce stored answers.

It works. My son got 289.

But change the question slightly and the confidence disappears.

Not because he isn't intelligent. He is. Nobody taught him what to do when he doesn't already know the answer.

That is the skill that survives school.

Where the Money Goes

School fees. Lesson teachers. Holiday classes. Textbooks. Past questions. JAMB apps. Extra tutorials. Transport. Data.

Now ask yourself: what have you actually bought?

Mostly, supervision.

What you haven't necessarily bought is a child who can pick up an unfamiliar book, understand it, and teach himself something nobody is around to teach him.

And that skill is free.

A child who can teach himself can keep learning anywhere. One who can't may remain helpless inside an expensive university.

The Phone Isn't the Problem

We blame TikTok because a child can scroll for four hours but can't read for twenty minutes.

But the phone may simply be exposing a weak attention muscle.

School often requires attendance. It doesn't necessarily teach sustained attention.

So taking away the phone may remove the symptom without building the muscle.

What I'm Doing Differently

My son is seventeen. I'm doing some of this ten years late, and I have to live with that.

I no longer ask only what he scored. I ask what he understood.

I make him explain things to his sister in his own words. When he says, “I don't know,” I don't immediately give him the answer. I ask, “How would you find out?”

It's slower. More annoying.

But something has changed.

If you have a younger child, you still have time.

Don't spend all of it buying more of what isn't working.

The greatest inheritance you can give your child isn't a certificate, school, or money.

It's a mind that can teach itself anything.

ABOUT THE RESOURCE

From Phonics to Calculus: A Parent's Blueprint for Raising a Self-Taught Mind in a Distracted World is a 65-page guide for Nigerian parents who want to build reading, independent learning, and attention skills in their children.

It covers how to diagnose what your child can actually do—not just what their results say—plus practical ways to develop independent learning, rebuild attention, and do it even without money for tutors.

It draws on WAEC, JAMB, UNICEF data, and education research.

oz4real83:
all these people are politicians. Politicians say the truth only when it suits them. It is now left for u to decide which of their statements is true. Pmb denied all the promises he made in 2015 despite them being on public domain. Nobody would have thought in 2015 that Nigeria will be in this mess. Same way nobody knows if MKO would have kept to his promises. An average Nigerian politician is like a chameleon that changes according to what is in vogue.

You don't seem to get why you got all those mentions from just one comment and neither does this your riposte and all the others do any justice to your initial submission.

You made your position like you had some empiricialy verifiable proof that supports Objs albeit selfish position not to recognise June 12, which from all you've said, I can glean that you don't!

If Obj had some earth shaking dirt about Abiola that he could use to demystify Abiola, the Obj that will all know won't hesitate to use it!

So I ask "What info is Obj exclusively privy to that a Buhari isn't aware of?"

oz4real83:
obj was a former president while u are a nonentity. As a former president,he had access to information that u,a nonentity will never have access to in your life. When he speaks,he doesn't speak as a nonentity. We have heard some unverified rumors about certain unexecuted tele-communication contract and other contracts involving mko and his family. Abeg dey your lane.

Just like Obj told us that Jonathan was training snipers right? Yeah he is a former president and would know! I get it!

PotatoSalad:
SPOUSE not GIRLFRIEND

Always remember that.




If I was given the opportunity to spend a day with any Nigerian celebrity, it'll be freeze. He's so intelligent and dishes out good nuggets on a daily basis but your fog clogged brain has decided to tag him a bad person.
Shift

Maybe when you hang out with him, you can ask why God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE but for example ONLY the father knows when the day and time for the RAPTURE is!

The trinity is the perfect personification example of ONENESS remember?


This clown you call intelligent by the time he is through with folks who believe his gibbberish una go know say that Mavrodi MMM fella Na learner!

Hofbrauhaus:
@premiumleaks. First of, you have to understand that Atiku is an intelligent man who is not easily swayed by emotions.
1. What has this got to do with proving his case?

2ndly, If Atiku and the PDP have decided to go to court, it is because they have overwhelming evidence which we don't know about (there are issues of card readers not been used in certain areas, such areas ought to be canceled, according to INEC, issues of gross irregularities, etc).

2. Every person that has gone to an election tribunal including Buhari for three times BELIEVED they had credible overwhelming evidence to prove their case but lo and behold we know how it ends! Let pander to your opinion that Atiku has a good case, have you considered Buhari's defence team?

3rdly, because Buhari has gone down this line 3times doesn't mean a damn thing.
4. It does cos you are dealing with a man who has been there and knows how tedious it can be to prove your "good case"

4thly, no court can throw out a valid case in the face of overwhelming evidence. Let me see that judge that doesn't have sense.
5. Hahahahaha...and what will you do more than what you just did...create a thread on Nairaland, scribble some unintelligible words and RAAAANNNT..anyway number 2 above suffices!

Atiku has a good case and this would even further expose INEC as a useless body that doesn't have common sense..anyway dream on it is free bro

I thought you were going to take on the points I presented but u did what the typical nairalander does -regurgitate the same cliche..."Atiku has a good case" whatever that means!!

Hofbrauhaus:
Atiku would definitely win at the tribunal. APC would definitely appeal. Until it gets to the supreme court.

I don't really know how it works. How long is it supposed to take? 1year? 2years? 3years? 6months?

Timing is everything..

Mynd4

You folks have started getting your hopes so high and when it gets dashed like it was in the elections, all you will have left is wailing!!

You folks need to know that election petitions is for you to prove that the electoral malpractices committed during the elections is sufficient enough to cancel the elections and in this case my brother forget all the grandstanding it is not an easy feat!

I see folks in here shouting bodycam bla bla without considering its ADMISSIBILITY in court! (Even if it is admitted what makes you folks think the APC doesn't have its own to keep the tribunal busy for sometime!)

The APC will now question the veracity of the videos on the grounds that it could have been "doctored"!! Hope you are following? After all this technical legal rigmarole, the PDP has to now prove how the electoral malpractice in few pollin units SUBSTANTIALLY affects the overall results of the elections..(the case of obaseki governor of edo state and that pastor should come to mind) and then the case will be thrown out base on technicalities!

Atiku is taking a man to court who has been down this route 3times and he thinks he stands a chance?

I just gave you just a pinch of what will occur when the case commences and my advice keep your hopes low cos the case is dead on arrival

tomju:
Esseite, Buhari asking tribunal access in law means he is applying to the court to allow his lawyers access to inspect, copy, scan the certified copies of the Election results. If you had for example contested under a party say AD, the news flash will read. Esseite, presidential candidate of AD asked tribunal to grant access to inspect election materials....same thing[i][/i]

Leave Esseite to be grandstanding in ignorance...its written in black and white but its obvious he only commented after reading the misleading headline!!

That's different.... Telling someone they smell nice is kind of flirtatious and thus unprofessional, especially if it's an interview setting. Maybe he meant it innocently sha but it is definitely no reason for the lady to overreact. Nigerian interviewers can sha like to feel like assistant gods.

Beautiful.... Couldn't have said it any better!! Eventhough I feel some interviewrs can be overly uptight, we need to take such on a case by case basis cos this same compliment in another setting in this same Nigeria won't mean anything!! Lol at your "assistant gods"

You traveled for six hours because a man hyped his diiick for you?

Are these ladies becoming silly as day breaks?

And here you are, proudly crying on social media that he lasted for 7 mins.

Time will come when you will travel but won't be alive to tell what you experienced.

Fool!!! You start wondering if these idiots v'got relatives online atall!!!

My brother if she had been raped or used for ritals now...hmm...all those life in Nigeria is to hard for a woman crew will show up..I don't blame her, i blame all the morons that gave her audience!!

Generating free traffic to your site is a mouth watering experience, but going the social media route like e.g free Facebook traffic, free twitter,free tumblr traffic etc are a complete waste of time to me,hence SEO is and still the best free means of driving traffic to your site,but only when done the correct way.I have tried many seo techniques ranging from the so-called whitehat,greyhat, to the infamous blackhat etc but found out the whitehat is still the most reliable of the three.but the problem is,there are very few,I repeat very few effective whitehat seo technique out there and this one is up there among the very few best.

But the challenge is that it's not your typical $7,$10 nor $15 guide,rather it's very expensive,but then the content is worth the exorbitant price and it's newbie friendly(a newbie can implement the strategies)

Caseless:
kwankwaso made a statement with this election. But that can't be crowned with victory because the rerun would give apc a vista to react appropriately.

And he couldn't do the magic for Atiku in the presidency? Doesn't that tell you something; that we don't give the northern voters much credit that they deserve! Kano voters decided not to reward the Ganduje thief that's all!

StOla:
The politicians are more desperate as they know that it has become harder to rig, unlike the glory days of rigging like Jonah Jang espoused about succeeding with rigging because God allowed it.

However, these desperate actions from the politicians have met a brick and incorrigible wall in INEC.

INEC is not responsible for whatever banditry or violence perpetrated by the politicians, it is responsible for vote conduct, vote count, vote collation, and declaration of outcome in line with the electoral act.

Also, INEC has demonstrated a highly commendable compliance with court orders as it concerns the suitability of candidates or parties for the election.

So, if there is a winner, a winner is declared. If there is an inconclusive election, it is declared as such, without any regard for who is leading, shouting, screaming or wailing.

Your head get oil! I am 101% with you on this!!

hinwazaka:
Before we allowed the professors of hate politics-buhari and tinubu- into aso rock, our country was not so tense. APC is a party found on hunger and anger and driven by hate

You hypocrite...just cos u ressurected this moniker recently doesn't mean that some of us who have been in here a while don't know your antecedents!! I guess the Ffk's gutter propensity is lullaby in your ears!!

Chaleeee:
Did they send them text to come and vote? Keep deceiving yourselves.

Some of u who have only abuja on TV and have never been to the North can never comprehend this...

BigBashiru:
As far as I am concerned, Atiku is my president too. An illiterate man who peaked in the 1980s can never rule over me with his dictator style - God forbid. 4 years of Atiku then a hand over of power to younger presidents.

The black man is the architect of his own woes.

Eyaaah...u wan cry? Na so e pain u reach!! Atiku is gon get screwed back to back like Real Madrid and if u like u can install him as president of twitter/ nairaland!!

billante:
Why are buhari supporters so jittery about atiku going to court?

With most of the recent court judgment going against APC i won't be surprised if the tribunal before end of may nulify the election

OSUN case which Adeleke is almost 95% sure of winning will kick start that wave of positive court judgement

All those saying that Atiku is wasting his money going to court...very funny!
money that he has in excess is least of his worries now

Is Atiku taking APC supporters to court? If the APC is not jittery why do u think the supporters are? Aha can you see the gaping holes in your flawed logic?

Which Osun, which Adeleke? You folks just keep giving yourself hope where there is none!

Just like Real Madrid, Atiku is getting screwed back to back!!

Make lawyers chop abeg cos you are not more learned than his padi padi lawyer Agbakoba or even Falana who told him not to go on such a misadventure!!
