It's not that hard. If you like her, tell her. If you want something, indicate interest. Stop this red pill nonsense, but be wise. C'mon, dudes.

Anechi:
Why is it only APC that is so disturbed by this issue

They are the ruling party. Voters will hold them responsible for any hardships in the country. Having fuel scarcity and cash shortages so close to elections is just unbelievably stupid.

GRVLagos:
Good day the good people of nairaland, I delivered my manifesto last night , it was in depth to show my plans and vision for lagos , it is very robust and produces an amazing vision and plan to deliver a lagos that works for everyone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VgykX18MBc The State of Lagos Address by GRV, LP Lagos Governorship candidate

Thanks for your address. Channels TV prevents us from embedding their videos on Nairaland. A PDF copy of the address will be very yusful.

Ckonnet:
So you people have finally turned nairaland to beer parlour parliament.

He said it on national TV. I didn't make it up. You can visit the source and listen to what he said. I provided a link. Just click on the link.

According to chief Femi Fani-Kayode, the reason why Atiku supports Emefiele's cashless policy and is against the extension of the deadline for old naira notes is because PDP has an app that they can use to send money cashlessly to his supporters during the election.

During his interview with Seun Okinbaloye of Channels TV, Fani-Kayode said, "they know about the special app that they have. They know about the number of people on that app that they've already collated so they can be sending credit to them on behalf, so that when they don't have cash it'll say "Atiku is sending you 10,000 naira" throughout the election period. They have a plan for this. They know what they want to do."

He said, "So people should suffer? Simply because you have an app? And in that app you're going to be sending people money? And say 'hey have credit, you can cash the money later?' Their plan, and they are working with CBN, is to ensure that no money comes out at all in this country up until the end of February. That's their plan."

Do you believe him? Do you know the name of the app and the number of people on the app? Should we all join in order to get paid💰?

angiography:
You are very irresponsible. So because it's southern Kaduna and a rural area, the killings re justified.

People said he deliberately refused to protect people in Southern Kaduna because they are Christians. I'm not convinced that it was deliberate.

akinsmyk:
You people be hiding under the suffering of the people when it’s glaring you’re letting out your pain I indirectly. You people don’t care about us.

They care about your votes and they won't get it in this chaotic situation where ppl have to queue for their own money and for petrol.

The Twitter mob cannot be trusted. Nairalanders are better.

The same people that criticise the man called me a tribalist and people believed them. They said I support Tinubu and people believed them. So when I watch the man's interviews and his utterances make more sense than practically anyone else in the current government, I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt.

He is a northern muslim male so of course he's going to have some views that are unpalatable to people like me who are non-muslim southerners. But I don't trust Twitter's hatred of the man to be based on reality when those same people seem to hate me the same way and I KNOW that I didn't do anything worthy of hatred.

Most of the people fighting are paid agents of political parties.

fineboynl:
The CBN projection had failed. Economic theories are always good on papers. But not in reality.

What happened is exactly what was expected to happen by all economic thinkers. Emefiele and Buhari's voodoo economics has never worked

How much is 4 million naira for a bank branch? If you load that in a group of ATMs it can't last more than a few hours. This is smoke & mirrors.

The attack against progressive women in the north is so sad. I hope she's not traumatised by this experience - worse. The north is so 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️.

It was granted. Though shorter than we expected.

Please continue discussion here: https://www.nairaland.com/7545866/cbn-extends-deadline-old-naira

I'm actually surprised that they announced the extension this early, otherwise I'm not surprised. Buhari did what we knew he had to do.

BreconHills:
It has reduced kidnapping though, I give it that.

Didn't people recently get kidnapped at a train station?

Bigbayour:
It seems to me that you came up with this Trend to sell your half-baked Candidate to us.

If you can bring your candidate to Nairaland, we will provide him with the same visibility.

GRVLagos:

A massive and well placed concern on here is the issues of "agberos" in Lagos, who have state protection and cover, under my governorship we are going to change this, we are going to create a 2 year window for these mostly young men to be retrained and given useful life skills and provide them with a proper path that will be to the benefit to us all in society, through artisanship, vocations, trade, communal policing and more, many of these young men have not been giving viable and safe alternatives to live and sustain themselves, the use of them as an extra arm of the government to intimidate and extract resources from the general public has to end and will end under my governship

Oga @GRVlagos,
Thanks for sharing your plan for agberos in Lagos State. It seems that Lagosian-Nairalanders are sick and tired of agberos and looking to vote for a governor who will deal with them decisively.

gasparpisciotta:
Seun opened this thread by 5.40pm and this is 8.16pm 3hours later, invited guest is yet to be o arrive and people have been waiting.

This is not a real time Q & A. The candidate is currently at a live engagement. Once he's free he will start answering questions. Don't worry.

My question:
Considering the strong influence of the APC in Lagos, how do you intend to defeat the sitting APC governor who has recently completed or hastily commissioned many highly visible projects?

Good day everyone.

Today marks a change in civic engagement for the better of us all. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, the Labour Party Lagos state gubernatorial candidate, will be engaging with us directly through nairaland.

Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, popularly known as GRV, is a Nigerian architect, activist and politician. A Lagos indigene, his family is deeply intertwined with the history of Lagos and Nigeria.

He believes it is a privilege to serve and that is why he is here, to directly engage with the electorate of Nigeria. He will discuss his plans and vision for Lagos and more importantly answer questions in regards to governance and Lagos directly.

Thank you.

If you have any questions for GRV, please ask away. He will respond to the most interesting questions. If you think someone else's question is interesting and worth responding to, please like and share it for visibility. Questions with many likes & shares are more likely to be answered.

_{We are willing to do this for free with any candidate of any political party who is interested in engaging with Nairalanders.}

owobokiri:
Could it be that Emefieli who has been printing money for Buhari like a printing machine is worried that there's way too much money in circulation and might be using this policy to reign in on that?

He is still printing money for Buhari to spend. If he was worried about inflation he ought to have stopped. The money he prints for Buhari is electronic money, not physical money. Therefore withdrawing notes has nothing to do with inflation. It is only going to crush the poor.

A political scientist named Jibrin Ibrahim has exposed the naira redesign policy for what it is - a complete farce. According to him, everyone in the CBN, banks, and federal govt knows that it won't work because the mint lacks the capacity to print sufficient notes. It is an opportunity for CBN insiders to make a lot of money while appearing to fight corruption. The financial industry is playing along to avoid CBN sanctions.

Currently, we are supposed to be in the process of changing our old naira to new naira notes, which involves another massive logistics challenge. Just six weeks were allocated for the change from 15 December to 31st January. To convince us that it is for real, President Buhari was displayed on television launching the new notes. When 15th December came and banks did not have the new naira notes to distribute, except for a few samples, the take-off date was pushed to 9th February. In conformity with the six-weeks allegedly needed for the swap, the end date should have been adjusted, but it was not; hence, what needed six weeks will now be done in three weeks.

Two days ago, the Central Bank warned banks to ensure they put enough new notes in their ATM machines for customers. Encouraged, I went to my bank, only to find out that they still do not have the new notes. I drew their attention to the warning of the Central Bank that they would be dealt with if they don’t give out the new notes, and the manager laughed. The Central Bank does not have the notes to give them, so the warning is just a public relations exercise, because the banks would all be afraid to expose the lies from the Central Bank for fear of repercussions, he explained.

I spoke to some people with inside information and was told essentially that the whole charade is some drama. By law, only the mint can now print our currency. However, the capacity of the mint is minuscule in relation to the volume of new notes required, as such everybody in the CBN, banks and government, know the plan will not work simply because of the capacity limitation we have. Nonetheless, we have to pretend it will work because there is a nice narrative to sell – that the currency swap will expose corrupt politicians who have stolen government money to give bribes during the coming elections, and the government is committed to its anti-corruption policy, as such it is a smart policy move to deal with corrupt politicians.

The real story is something else – some people will make a lot of money in the printing process. Central Bank staff will preside over the distribution of the scarce new notes and many will have to bribe them massively to get access to the new notes. Meanwhile, the crisis will soon become serious when markets start to breakdown as the countdown to the withdrawal comes closer. In the coming days, people will start rejecting the old notes, as the end date approaches, but there will be serious scarcity of the new ones. The pressure will mount on government and a two-month extension for the withdrawal of the old notes will be announced and repeated, again and again. Everybody knows that will be the eventual outcome, so we just love living in our narratives of delusion.

We knew. The cashless nonsense they came up with was their way of handling the issue.

Hello Y'all

Buhariconomics.

I couldn't login for hours because of the error I got few days ago, check the screenshot below.

Sorry about this. It's been fixed. Which ISP are you on?

Provide proof or get banned for breaking rule 8

Please let journalists or the NASS ask the CBN how much money they have printed so far and how much they have distributed. Also, how much old notes they plan to withdraw and how much they have withdrawn. These are the basic facts that we need in order to ascertain the nation's readiness for the withdrawal of old naira notes at the end of this month. If we don't have these facts, we can't debate sensibly on the matter.

Ikillbrokehoes:
I don't know what's wrong with Nairaland these days, seun needs to do something about this. before I could login it almost took me 4 minutes. 😡😡

What errors did you encounter when you were trying to login?

She used a body double. When she was facing the camera, we could only see her face and shoulders. But when the nude fight started, we could only see her from the back which means any lady with a similar shape could have stood in her position.
