What's crazy is how Tinubu was able to align with all our governors last and present.

1999 - 2007: Arc. (Obong) Victor Attah;
2007 - 2015: Chief Godswill Akpabio;
2015 to 2023: Dcn. Udom Emmanuel, and;
2023 - : Pst. Umo Eno.


- Akpabio has a quiet beef with Arc. Attah because the later didn't anoint him as candidate.
- Akpabio and Udom have had a cold war since 2018 when Godswill left the PDP.
- Umo Eno embraced Akpabio in spite of Akpabio's beef with Udom.
- Udom and Umo Eno defer to Vic. Attah as the eldest stateman.
- Umo Eno defers to Akpabio and Udom too.

Tinubu was able to make Udom and Akpabio agree for the first time in years.

All three are powerful men in their three Senatorial Districts. Everyone (and all politicians) listen to Arc. Attah so he was definitely consulted about this move.

It's over, man. APC as an opposition is officially dead in the state. PDP as a contender at the national is dead too at the state level. Backs have been rubbed.

I did not see Udom Emmanuel agreeing to this. He's supposed to be a strong Atiku man.

Darn!

No wonder I've seen a spike in visits from France and Britain to my blog. It's probably that my book has been read there.

There was no country called Israel in ancient time.

The ponzi scheme will not even survive one year for you to even see your 50k sef whether it will increase or reduce 😂

Seun:
Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

BlueRayDick:
Ponzi schemes generally work on a principle that has always worked with the Nigerian people : Ponzi schemes will have you believe that the traditional banking and financial system is designed to make you poor. They make you believe whatever interest rate your normal investment in the Nigerian banking and financial system will give, you can get multiple of it in their scheme but the government and it's agencies don't want that for you

Once they have people believing this, they will offer ridiculous ROI that defies logic. They will see that for example Treasury bills backed by government will give you 18.5% interest rate per annum, then they will offer you 30% interest rate within a month. Do you know how crazy that is? You leave you money with them for 30 days and get 30% ROI ; meanwhile the FG backed investment expects you to leave your funds with government for a whole year and get 18.5% interest in return.

The average greedy Nigerian thinks it is a risk that is worth taking but they will later learn the hard way.

There was this dude attached to me on a project. In 2014 to 2016. Site engineer. Guy bought into MMM. The way the guy believed in mmm ehn. He was so fervent. December 2015 (I think) when they did their rug pull the guy was telling me confidently and with conviction they will be back. When you see the faith of some of these marks you will almost start to think you are the one missing out.

SEC came out yesterday to say cbex is not registered, immediately people were investing I am sure they hear and know about it
That is when they should be singing that it's not registered, they left it took late

BlueRayDick:
What can the government do in this case?

Everything about the investment is done on an app and telegram groups. Shey make government dey hack the apps and telegram groups ni?

If government do that I'm sure we will fault the government for wielding illegal powers. You will be surprised at how sowore and professional activist will stage protests after protest for the government to allow people do whatever they want either money. The whole thing will take a politico turn sharply.

I think the relevant government agencies like CBN and SEC have always warned that all ponzi schemes are organized scams that will end in gnashing of teeth of "investors". But people no dey hear Noni

Shegzdave:
It’s more of greed cause how will someone promise to give an 100% profit on your capital/investment in a short period of time and you agreed

Nigerians mostly have shitty taste in music anyway. And it's gotten worse since the 2010's.

- Banky W would have stood no chance of rising to the top today.

- Johnny Drille would barely get airplay today if he'd done "Wait For Me" today instead of in 2015.

- Nonso Amadi barely gets a listen today. Blessing Tangban who is a quality artiste never gets recognised but Yemi Alade who sings "No time for tumbo tumbo" gets all of the streams.

Bez Idakula who is the king of Nigerian alté has to focus on doing music gigs for special shows.

You forced the suave early 2010s version of Praiz to do shit music to survive. SKALES used to spit bars in the late 2000s now he does shit music for streams. "Stay", "Rich and Famous", "Stupid Song" etc by Praiz are timeless and world class.

Munachi Abii held her own against other rappers on Banky W's 2010 megahit "Lagos Party (Remix)". Her next releases got no recognition.

CAPital F.E.M.I would rival Joe and Craig David anyday but he gets no attention.

Tems had to stay away before you lots force her to do shit music. Great artiste. I listen to her whole discography everyday.

Asa tried a comeback but you all ignored her. She had to do "Manyana" to get any kind of recognition.

I feel Bnxn can do better. He writes great lyrics. He prefers the slow tempo. But if he goes full Tems or Bez, you'd all ignore him.

Nigerians mostly have shitty taste in music but when I point it out, they get defensive

Really? Season 3 was viewed as an improvement over 2.
You forgot the story about the captain and his crew that had to deal with some supernatural spider creature? A lot of people considered that one better than the siren story.

It's way older than the woke generation. I'm sure they'll have cancelled them if it was now.

Those comedies were gold back then and had no barriers.

P.s that scene was insane he looked at the penis in shock, looked at the woman still in shock then looked at you watching him to see if you're a shocked as he was. Lol

pu7pl3:
yea I know...It's what Undertaker used during his American Badass era

DissTroy:
Of course you won't have Johnny Drille, Bez, Tems, and Nonso Amadi because most Nigerians have shitty taste in music.

pu7pl3:
Kaycee7 this new Devil May Cry's opening theme is undertaker's American Badass rolling rolling 🔥🔥🔥

armadeo:
You need to check it out. Old school comedy.

DissTroy:
So Uromi people and those killed in other parts of Edo State do not deserve Fulani Governors going to be "humble"to Edo State Governor?
This isn't about taking partisan sides as they are all APC. Are the lives of slain Edo people by Fulani herdsmen not worth taking a kneel for? Joe, you are an Edo man too. Come on!

DissTroy:
No! Joe, why should a Governor kneel for anyone, even for the President? Wrong! He embarrassed the state. I'd understand a bow for elders or kneeling before the Oba of Benin but to others? Come on!

TemporaryHansel:
Theflint1 this your governor useless oh.

DissTroy:
Shaqfu/Joe, remember this about the HCDTF I was explaining? The website was launched quietly on the first day of last month: https://hostcomply.nuprc.gov.ng/hc-trusts .

Sub HCDTFs are being created and updated since then. Check to see the ones for Edo State if your LGA is a part of it. If it is, it was part of the 137 oil-producing areas which shared the #200 billion payout as at October last year.

It's all hush hush.

The place no far from the Uromi sef but nah na drink I go drink for there

DissTroy:
Because not every man falsely accused by a woman is thick-skinned enough to accept bring forevered branded a misogynist if he gets her prosecuted and jailed.

Remember Chioma Okoli and the Erisco falsely tagged killer tomato paste saga? There was a campaign of calumny against the Erisco CEO, championed by men (including middle-aged men) tagging him a misogynist to please their teeming followers of gullible and sentimental females. From R. Akinnola to A.H. Adigun on Facebook. Men who regularly pander to women and reap the benefits.

She's right, the money is enough to start a business without renting a shop. I don't know about other states but in Lagos, neighbourhood shops now go between 8-10k per month. Shops in busy areas, bus-stops and market places go for much higher and most landlords ask for 2 years rent upfront. The spending won't be on rent alone, she'll need to furnish the shop with chair, table, counters, shelves etc and make it look attractive to customers. She's only telling you the reality of things but you're here poverty shaming her. You strike me as the toxic abusive husband who will treat your wife like you're doing her a favour by marrying her. How I wish she can open her eyes and see how better she'll be far away from you.
