The CBN governor is next to be sacked, a man who helped the last administration to loot millions of dollars, a man who doesnt know the impact of his trial and error policy

press release from cbn

WhoBeThisMan:
You sound as if you make sense, but you DONT!
I dont think the bvn gives anyone complete access to your account. Its like saying because someone has ur account number, he can withdraw from it.

please kindly send me your bvn number.

all these yahoo boyz are smarter and they think out of the box, we can not rule out the possibility of bvn giving them one or 2 information dey need to penetrate.

The central bank has failed in their responsibility to enlighten the general public on the usefulness of bvn and how it works.

Over 60% of Nigerian are illiterate, more than half of the total population, all cbn did was to threaten Nigerian with the deadline,

Anh anh bros lie smal small nah.. it's still 225

Confirmed by a reliable aboki

pls confirm, as at yesterday, it was 225 but as at this afternoon, its 229

There are strong indications that the Naira might further weakens against the US dollar in the coming days. This is attributed to shortage in supply of dollar at the parallel market due to cbn fx restriction.


(1.) Is the cbn governor doing trial and error with all these policies
(2.) How long will this fx restriction on domiciliary account holders last
(3.) Nigerian Customs recorded low revenue due to CBN Policy on fx restriction which reduces import of essential commodities.
(4.) Prices of commodities in the market may continue to rise due to inability of traders to transfer funds to their suppliers abroad.
(5.) Fx Restriction is a backdoor approach to stabilizing the external reserve, an approach which might cause greater harm to the economy in the longrun if not reversed now.

Fayose will shoot his mouth now, the probe might affect him

I think Brig. General Olaleye Olajide should be questioned on why he held that press conference about the missing certificate. It was highly unprofessional

MKO4ever:
Op you are very observant, I also noticed that there are plenty rubber bands on the table and the way the cash was arranged also confirmed that the picture was taken in a bank

And the total cash on that table is not more than USD1m. The funniest thing is that , PUNCH copied the story on Linda Ikeji and pasted it on the online paper last night, just for them to hurriedly removed it this morning. So dissapointed in PUNCH honestly. so punch rely on social media

angelsing:
That posture for that pix looks like someone not in a jam but critical look at his countenance also shows someone trying to hide his pain and act like all is well..Am not saying Sahara reporters are right with heir story though...I can pride my self in knowing how to read peoples countenance and body language and I believe it is a gift..no bragging though

Hun, my brother , the story is false. forget about gift

Linda Ikeji also carried a different story about this guy. Linda ikeji should stop all this rubbish. if she continues, her blog will become useless honestly. Linda , stop spreading false info we beg you

atospet:
Dead as how? A party that has 49 senate seats, 125 members in the house of assembly. These guys are even deciding what goes on in the national assembly. SMH for u

Who on this earth will defect to a dead party, a party that has only 1 active member, olisa metuh

Olisa Metuh, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), National Publicity Secretary has claimed that friends and associates of President Muhammadu Buhari has invaded key income generating institutions, raising questions about the present administrations plans to curb corruption.
Metuh in a statement issued on Monday questioned Buhari’s decision not to name his cabinet, one month after he was sworn in as president of Nigeria. “We ask, is the so-called clearing of mess responsible for his inability after 90 days of winning an election to make up his mind on rudimentary appointments such as Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief of Staff and his demand for 15 Special Advisers as approved by the PDP controlled Seventh Assembly since June 5, 2015?
“Perhaps we need to draw President Buhari’s attention to the fact that while he is busy clearing his imaginary mess on the pages of newspapers, some persons claiming closeness to him have in the last 30 days been piling up sleazes that also need his attention in key agencies of government.
“Despite the absence of approving and supervising officials, key income generating institutions like NNPC, NIMASA, NPA, FIRS and other strategic agencies have been invaded by persons claiming to be friends and associates of the President and this puts to question the sincerity and seriousness of the administration to affect the so-called ‘Change’ upon which they rode to power.
“Auxiliary to this is the issue of the construction of a helipad, amongst various expenses and other major government expenditure going on across board in the last one month and without due supervision as the eyes of the President cannot be everywhere.
“We declare unequivocally that we do have respect for the person and office of the President especially considering his age and status as an elder statesman.
“However, we will like to make it very clear that the President of the Federal Republic Nigeria is neither a Sherriff in the Old Wild West nor a military dictator in some Banana Republic. He is an elected president under a democratic setting,”

Ezenwammadu:
l hope somebody has informed him that Mandela is dead and apartheid over before he goes on a long rant demanding the relase of mandela and the end of the apartheid regime

Why do u people like portraying the IGBOs as being disrespectful. Why cant you just be sensible and respect elders Haba

David Mark and Kashamu will be flushed out of the senate soon, while Wike of Rivers State will also loss at the election tribunal. Its a matter of time

chukwudi44:
Ode fuel crisis don end ni? I drove all the way from ojota via Ikorodu road to Surulere and only one filling station were selling fuel with a very long queue.

On the movement of command center what has that one achieved?

Chukwudi, you are the real Ode walai. Mumu Igbo boy,

front page please. this is what we are waiting for. $20 billion dollars is not beans

The Ibos should not distance themselves from CHANGE, which is the only constant thing in Life. Is there anything wrong in trying another party after 16 years of misrule by pdp.

Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe should please address the media, are they ashame

President Jonathan recently said he is planning to use technology to fight corruption instead of jailing corrupt officials. However, technology was used in this election to root him out of office. so in conclusion< jonathan is the "CORRUPTION " Technology used by APC are:

(1.) Card Readers: The use of card readers actually made rigging of election more tedious. It made it difficult for the ruling party to rig beyond the accredited number of voters

(2.) Social Media: The role of social media i.e Twitter, facebook, nairaland, linda ikeji, hendrick obaseki etc can not be over emphasized. Results annouced by each state collation officer, before leaving for abuja, were quickly updated on social media, hence Nigerians are at alert.

you are perfectly right. your figures are accurate

Ivory Coast's former first lady, Simone Gbagbo, has been sentenced to 20 years in jail for her role in the violence that followed the 2010 elections.

Gbagbo, 65, had been charged with undermining state security.

Her husband, former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, is awaiting trial at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

More than 3,000 people died in the violence that followed the presidential poll after the ex-leader refused to accept defeat to Alassane Ouattara.

She and her husband were arrested in 2011 after troops stormed a bunker where the pair had taken refuge in the main city, Abidjan.

And it was in the same city where Gbagbo - once called the "Iron Lady" and known for her fiery speeches - faced trial. She was also accused of disturbing public order and organising armed gangs.

'Ashamed of Ivorian justice'
She denied witness accounts that accused her of personally distributing arms to the death squads that operated in Abidjan during the five-month conflict.

The court unanimously sentenced her to 20 years, which is the sentence for undermining state security.

The prosecution had only asked for 10 years - but this had only been for the charge of disturbing public order.

The BBC's Ali Bamba in Abidjan says the verdict was delivered in the early hours of Tuesday morning after eight hours of deliberation by the jury.

The former first lady remained calm, as she had been throughout the trial, almost as if she knew what was coming, he says.

I forgive because, if we don't forgive, this country will burn”

Simone Gbagbo
Her daughter from a previous marriage, Marie Antoinette Singleton, told the BBC's Newsday programme that the sentence was unfair and a sign of "political justice".

"Why would you want to double it? It's not about justice; it's about getting rid of political adversaries.

"If we say that something wrong happened, it happened on both sides. Nobody looked into bringing all responsible parties to trial," she said.

Simone Gbagbo's lawyer said they would appeal.

"I was expecting Simone to be acquitted," Rodrigue Dadje told the BBC French service.

"There is no proof of her involvement at a personal level… I am ashamed for the Ivorian justice system."

'Humiliations'
The former first lady was on trial with 82 other supporters of her husband - 15 of whom were acquitted.

Two former military allies also received 20-year jail terms: Gen Bruno Dogbo Ble, once head of the Republic Guard, and the ex-navy chief Adm Vagba Faussignaux.

The other accused got lesser sentences.

Before her sentencing, Simone Gbagbo had said that she forgave the prosecution, despite the humiliation she had suffered during the trial.

"I forgive because, if we don't forgive, this country will burn," she said.

Both sides were accused of atrocities in the conflict that followed the 2010 poll.

But our correspondent says despite a promise from President Alassane Ouattara that both sides would face justice, no-one in the president's camp has been charged.

Laurent Gbagbo, is facing four charges at the ICC in The Hague, including murder, rape and persecution.

The ICC had issued an arrest warrant for Simone Gbagbo too, but this was dismissed by the Ivorian government.

some Nigerians don't even know who is behind buharis candidature.
if you love your future, you better open your eyes and reject the wrong kind of change.

Nobody is forcing change on you, if you so desire continuity of a failed government. Change is the only constant thing in life, whether you like it or not, that change has come.
