Sebi Tinubu was Nigeria president when Kanu was arrested in Kenya

You were the one who mentioned Obasanjo in the first place, that he is close to the Kenyan govt, alluding that that was the reason the guy was arrested.

helinues:
Let me repeat again, Obasanjo is close to Kenya government irrespective of who the president is. Uhuru was frequent in Nigeria when he was the president
Obasanjo deliberately lured Raila into AU chair position so that the nonsense Mandamano can stop

So, Obasanjo who's not even in a good relationship with Tinubu, will twist the hands of Kenyan govt to arrest somebody for Nigeria. Please, learn to comment in a more politically mature way.

Oya, do a clapback while your autolikers give you a horde of likes.

Procashtips:
So no cryptocurrency platforms in Kenya?

Of course, there are, but are the users intentionally forming a ring to manipulate the rate to achieve financial or political gains?? People make millions of dollars through crypto and forex, even without having to manipulate the market. So it's greed raised to power 100 for those doing so.

Catapault:
You forgot to mention ''after genociding their inhabitants''.

African explorers did not take civilisation round the world with the intent of mass murdering native populations, and seizing their land and riches to build ''skyscrapers'' for themselves.

Or they could have EASILY done that, because they were militarily strong.

Africans went there to help build societies WITH the local inhabitants.

That is why those societies were multiracial and prosperous for millennia.

Your 'Ends justifies the means' philosophy is savage, barbaric, and unsustainable if the Earth is to survive..

By that philosophy, I can rightfully storm your village now and shoot everybody, and seize the land for the purpose of building a resort or ''skyscrapers'' for the next generation to enjoy.

If it's not okay for YOU, how was it ok for the natives slaughtered by the Europeans in their lands?

If they want to live in mud huts, how is that your problem?

Is it your land?

Or your white master's land?

So if some people develop advanced houses in Japan that look like spaceships, after a while they can come and kill you for living in an ordinary flat?

Kill you, seize your house and build their spaceship house on top?

Do you realise it is that ''might is right'' philosophy of the west that has led the world to the nuclear precipice?

There is a Doomsday Clock that is set at a few minutes to MIDNIGHT, in western intelligence circles, in terms of how close the world is to a nuclear holocaust.

Do you know that any false mistake among those powers now, and the Earth is toast?

Including its 'skyscrapers'?

They spend hundreds of billions of dollars a year building ever more devastating weapons of mass destruction.

They are absolute idiots, these 'whites' you worship.

Their leaders are psychopaths.

They are short-sighted, thoughtless, spiritually bankrupt, arrogant and ignorant.

Their 'me first' philosophy will destroy the Earth absent of external intervention, perhaps from Divinity itself.

The 'intelligence' of the west is actually FOOLISHNESS.
But you're too naive to see it, and are fooled by the ''skyscrapers''.

So who did they also "genocide" to build Denmark, Austria, Finland, etc, while Africa continues to look less than a 13th century Europe?? Ordinary transformers, railway we can't manufacture/construct; are they the ones responsible for that??

flybridgeom:
This article is complete junk. Shame on punch newspaper. The author does not even know what he/she is talking about.
Anonymous sources and conjecture littered everywhere.

I understand the government is acting a script to bring down cryptocurrency (whoever is playing that drum no concern me), but let's get serious.

We will NEVER have a consistently strong Nigerian Naira until we become a serious EXPORTING country. Boosting exports is the only sustainable way to strengthen the Naira. Then you can even play around and keep your currency high or low depending on national strategic priorities, like Japan.

Just this morning, Vanguard newspaper is reporting that manufacturers over the course of 1 year, incurred losses of 266billion Naira. So, our production capacities is on the low, meaning exports is weak, and we expect the Naira to be strong, because... Of course, Cardoso is CBN governor.
Dey play!

This blaming of BDCs, "currency speculators", interbank, cryptocurrency exchanges, etc is kindergarten stuff.

Let's get serious as a country.

It's a lie. Sabotage and speculation are responsible for Naira's decline, not about not exporting much. Kenya's shilling was 88 to a dollar in 2014; today it's 144. Naira was 216; today it's 1,100+. Ours shouldn't exceed 350 if not for intentional sabotage.

All thanks or no thanks to Buhari. That man crashed Nigeria's economy by his I-don't-care attitude, coupled with Emefiele who was out to pump our dollars into the pockets of Buhari's Fulani henchmen (Dangote is number 1) so as not to be sacked.

All due to our extremely weak naira. If naira had stayed between ₦200-₦300 till date, we'd be at around $900B.

Tetrahedron:
So the 10m he paid for bail is just gone like that !

You people still don't understand the meaning of bail in 2024??

Reverse psychology.

There's absolutely no reason why South Africa's currency should be exchanging for R19 to a dollar while Nigeria's own is ₦1,100. It's the same reason their 2024 budget is $125B while ours is paltry $39B.

Europeans went to New Zealand, Australia, South Africa, Canada and met these places in mud houses, but have turned them to seas of skyscrapers today. That's what I want to copy, not going about looking for how Blacks were once this or that but today cannot build power plants by themselves.

Christlike01:
There are Jews in Ethiopia. As for some primitive village-dwelling bantu from the tiny erosion-ravaged land of cannibals claiming to be Jews in Nigeria,I don't know about that!

Please change your moniker to devillike01, because no truly Christlike person would utter this tribal invective.

Currently ₦1,950 and heading to 3,700. When it was rising steadily, we didn't see you o or you were busy mourning over it using your alt monikers. You'll be disappointed.

The price of rice is the one driving the prices of other food stuff to the roof. I'm predicting it dropping to at most ₦30K by the end of June.

No one is talking about it because it's a nonexistent war. Unless you are talking about the civil wars in Sudan or the one in South Sudan.

But it's not unconstitutional that he bribed the judge in purchasing an order to stop his arrest??

It's actually producing the right result, so it's a waste of time castigating it. When previous administrations were defending it, the black market rate was always steeply higher than the official market rate, but here we're having the NAFEX rate going a few naira higher than the black market rate. According to ABCON, this is the first time in 15 years.

"Rice that Ibought for N95,000 per bag today?? Even a bag of sachet water has gone from N400 to N700." I'm only quoting my dear obidient friends.

This man must go to jail for his unbridled malfeasance and mafia god-status symbol.

Maybe they forgot that Jews run the show in America, especially in the tech sector. Google the number of global US companies founded by Jews and you'll be lost in thought. That's the power of influence. I'm not pro-Israel's war in Gaza — just pointing out the fact.

MODIFIED: Facebook, Oracle, Dell, and Google itself, just to mention the most popular.

My own concern is that, after he's finally arrested and brought to the court, won't the court still offer him a bail, whilst the case drag on for years until everyone forgets about it and it dies off?? After all the gra gra they did about Fayose, it's now more than 3 years and Fayose is cruising up and down.

...oga this is my field, have a nice day

Final conclusion: The money is actually deposited.

Available9:
I am tired of responding to this...the book says the money should be deposited with the court..but in reality, no money is deposited...apart from Nnamdi kanu's case, can you mention 5 instances where the money was deposited before the release of the accused ?

So the court should be going up and down telling us that the bail money for so and so case has been deposited??

Available9:
Please educate them

Let me add my voice

Granting someone bail at any amount simply means that the person who will stand as surety to the accused must be ready to pay that amount when the accused runs away before the conclusion of the case, meaning the surety is not even paying any money before the release of the accused...even cubana doesn't know the meaning of bail, hence he wouldn't have posted that "money na water "...no one paid any money...it is simply a condition should the accused runs away
I bet 99.9 % of nairalanders do not know this

It's a lie. The money is paid upfront and only refunded when the court deems it fit.

immortalcrown:
Point out any part of my comment that speaks against the Naira.
My comment is about how Naira value at the moment projects APC. No part of my comment says it is bad for Naira to gain value against Dollar. Your sentiment has affected your brain.

You're actually the one whose sentiments have affected his reasoning capabilities. Someone says he's currently on level 6 and you tell him not to "celebrate" it, because he was once on level 9 before, as if he told you that he doesn't aspire to go back to that level 9. That's the logic.

jazzman7711:
Ridiculous comparison.

India's population is higher than ALL AFRICA.

India has 1.4 billion people.

Africa has 1.2 billion people.

You should compare INDIA with AFRICA, not with Nigeria.

When you compare India with Africa, those indices are a LOT closer.

This is ridiculous.

India's annual budget is AT LEAST 400 BILLION DOLLARS!!!

Nigeria's is roughly 40 billion dollars.

What is the point of your education when simple common sense eludes you?

India is currently the most populated country in the world just as Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa, so the "comparison" is in order. And it's not even a full-blown comparison. He was only pointing out how their achievement metrics dwarf Nigeria's own.

1.
Does my comment mean I am against the appreciation of Naira?
2.
Does your logic justify not holding APC to the words of APC?

Yes, dismissing the current gain means you're against the naira appreciation.

immortalcrown:
APC said ₦216 per Dollar was too much. Therefore, no APC government is good unless the regime takes Naira below 260 per Dollar without taking the nation's foreign reserve below what the reserve was during the time of PDP.
Praising the government when Naira is 216 per Dollar means praising stagnancy.

Praising the government when Naira is above 216 per Dollar means praising backwardness.

Call me anything you like.

Are those praising the govt for naira appreciation saying they don't want dollar value to go down further, say, to around N216 or even N5??

50k and you rush to open thread…

They have used hunger to reset people’s head sha.
During the COVID , I received a grant from Facebook worth 500k and I saw that others got even higher.
Here you are celebrating 50k, Wetin no go reach buy tissue paper

Me too. I received ₦450,000 from Nairaland. That was when Seun was nice; he has changed now. I heard every other Nairalander received ₦400K.

nabiz:
yes what does it mean

You're clearly seeing Band B there, but you're still asking what band you're on.
Well, the non-MD means that your area is not an industrial place. Stands for "maximum demand".

Band A, non-MD

CCB and CCT should be scrapped. EFCC and the conventional courts are already doing their work.
