 Politics › Re: New Naira Notes: Who Is Suffering Now - The Politicians Or The Masses? by savcy(m): 11:58am On Feb 02, 2023 |
The policy is partly sensible, but was doomed to fail due to weak laws, weak technological structures and weak institutions. The politicians for whom this law was made already have the new notes in the quantity they want. The masses, as always, will bear the brunt of a policy poorly executed. Emefiele, speaking to the house committee the other day said collection of old notes continues till further notice. Why then is there a deadline? Deadline for what? He also said bank notes in plastic wrappings were found in people's custody in parties across the country, which was against the law. Given that those notes can be traced all the way back to the issuing bank, it begs the question, "why aren't these banks penalised for these acts of deliberate sabotage against the government"? Our laws in this country are made to be deliberately weak. Too weak to have a functional society. This policy has completely failed. What a country! 36 Likes 4 Shares |

gbogboija:I'm shocked that you also don't see Oyetola as a victim (or potentially one) here. If it's indeed established that there was over-voting in Osun, wouldn't it be in the best interest of our electoral process that Oyetola is declared winner? I care about who wins now, but I care more about the process. I won't have even the best candidates winning elections through faulty a process. God forbid. 2 Likes |

Sterope:The issue is those who voted without accreditation weren't captured by the BVAS, hence the Tribunal's verdict. What that OP said is true. The BVAS has gone through every manipulation tests prior to its acceptance and approval by INEC. The machine is an intelligent piece of hardware that accredits according to process. If ever there's over-voting recorded in any PU, the BVAS would have the authentic number of voters. So those thugs and saboteurs who plan on intimidating adhoc staff and force authentication and voting would only end up denting their preferred candidate's chances. 3 Likes |

With all due respect to the CBN and all involved in this redesign policy, it's foolish making an important monetary decision based on elections. It's a very third world thing to do. Be that as it may, anything to at least stifle these no-good moneybags determined to induce vote buying with their stolen wealth is welcomed. The 10 days extension is more than enough for the financial sector to absorb the policy shock (even though they had 3 months to) and make necessary adjustments to ease the sufferings of Nigerians. Anyone asking for more time has Ill intentions, and those intentions are exactly why the policy was made in the first place. Please get your PVC and vote Peter Obi. 30 Likes 3 Shares |

Every eligible voter in my house is voting Obi. That's my quota towards nation building as far as the ballot goes. I plan on visiting my polling unit soon to preach Obi to them, because, here in Rivers State a lot of folks are undecided. I pray Obi wins. He's clearly ahead of the rest without a spec of doubt.

APC really had him and opted for Tinubu? Our political elites in the PDP and APC are wicked people with no real concern for the country. VOTE PETER GREGORY OBI for PRESIDENT. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

The hope here is that their submission came from strategy and empirical facts. I'm, however, tempted to think that they're just posturing. Governors are the footmen of Nigerian politics. Losing one is threatening as it is, and Atiku is being told he can win without five! I hope he has a plan to back his resolve, though. The two other candidates are no pushovers, and he seem right now to be behind both. 8 Likes 1 Share |

It's a good one, but yet again, another act from poor judgement by Atiku and his team. If you're appointing a regional campaign head, it's important that they have influence across their region, and serve as foot soldiers. Adeleke, though a person of influence, is barely a few weeks into office and is still trying to gain control over his government, especially with his HA in the opposition. Also, he has to hit the ground running (unlike Soludo) to excite the Osun people. He obviously has his plate full at the moment, and then Atiku appoints him campaign head. Where's the time? I don't know who Atiku's strategists are, but they're not doing a great job so far. 2 Likes |

Leadership of Nigeria will not return to the North in 2023. People who don't know this know very little about Nigerian politics. The elites understand balance of power, and are well aware of the implications of returning power to the North for another 8 years. It would completely destabilise the country one way or another. Nnamdi Kanu alone has completely destroyed the East, it would be foolish to cause the South-South and South West to join in being agitated. Balance of power is a principle the elites never joke with by reason of their stake in the country. If Peter Obi doesn't win, Tinubu will win. Power will shift to the South in 2023. Expecting different outcome is naive. 21 Likes 3 Shares |

I don't know what these politicians take Nigerians for. You stay completely away from national issues for three whole years, and then when it election time you start consoling and identifying with all and sundry, as if they really care. Bunch of desperadoes. This is hypocritical, especially coming from someone who deleted his tweet about late Deborah. We're waiting at the polling unit. May God keep us all till that day. |

I sometimes wonder how Amaechi, in spite of all his experience in politics, still makes kindergarten mistakes in elections. From his spat with Magnus Abe, to having no valid APC candidate in the 2019 general elections, and now to this. If INEC does not observe your primary, it's a futile exercise. He's my best Rivers State governor ever, but his constant silly mistakes in elections is just annoying. He's singlehandedly giving the state over to a man who has never been seen in public! 23 Likes 1 Share |

If oil is the principal exchange commodity of the country, and the assumption is that the value of our currency is tied to the price per barrel of oil, how come the Naira plummets in value arbitrarily, and without explanation, all when the price of oil is high? What sort of economy are we operating? A country that celebrates BLACK MARKET fx rates to the detriment of her OFFICIAL fx rates cannot be taken seriously. We're still joking with our fiscal policy with the BDCs still around. Redesign notes, raid BDC offices... All will amount to nothing on the long run. When all is said and done, and the dust settles the hydra headed demon called the BDCs would again rear up their ugly head and wreak financial havoc. Jokers! 70 Likes 9 Shares |

This really shouldn't be a problem for anyone that's focused and living a goal-oriented life. Statistically speaking, the ratio of potential ritualists and the genuine men/women is like 1:1000. With the exception of Edo, Delta, Ogun and maybe Port Harcourt, ritual killing isn't such a menacing problem elsewhere. Permit my stat but, you're 70% likely to have social relationships with a genuine man/woman out there. The news does not quite reflect the true state of society today. Having said that, the real issue here is the greed/indiscipline that's plagued the younger demographic. Guys wanting to sleep with anything in sight and add them to their list of conquests. On the part of ladies, social media has succeeded in twisting so many minds that they're simply detached from reality. There's this trend to want to marry someone with a car(s), someone who's affluent enough to meet their mundane needs, etc. And there's where the real problem is. Very few desire to go with a man through the phases of life, where you struggle financially for some time, then you get stable, then you get affluent. Some ladies want a man that's already affluent at 28. They don't bother to scrutinise the source of the wealth, they just want to be comfortable. Unexplained wealth will kill you. And that's what's been killing so many. So many people get married every other week, and let me say this, a lot them started from the scratch together. If along the way the man starts having access to unexplained cash, you should be smart enough to ask the right questions, and if the answers you're getting doesn't satisfy you, bounce! Some don't bounce due to what their profiting, and ultimately that's how they lose their life. 12 Likes 3 Shares |
