GOTVee: Even though I'm a born again Christian, I pray Peter Obi never becomes president. The reasons why igbos are promoting Obi presidency is for him to win and release Nnamdi Kanu. It will never happen in Jesus name. Instead of releasing that monster trying to divide our United Nigeria, it's better we choose between PDP or APC.
9jatriot: There are many reasons why. Topmost is the fact that he contested to be a president. This currency swap is directly under his department and he has a responsibility to make it work.
Emefiele Met Dollar at 165 when he was appointed on the 14th of June 2014, by the same date in 2015, the rate had gone up to 199 naira, after having touched 202 naira within the year.
All these happened under GEJ, which goes to show that Emefiele's incompentence did not start today, he just was able to do it under the radal and had low crude rate as an excuse for his failure all these while.
Compare that to Sanusi, who met dollar at 148 and only 3 naira was added after 12 months.
No long story, look at the graphs below.
Graph 1 is Emefiele's exchange rate in under one year even when PDP was still in power, graph 2 is Sanusi's own 12 months period.
Within 3 months of Emefiele assuming office, dollars started to rise and has not stopped ever since then.
Sanusi met it at 148 naira, by the time he was booted out, USD was at 162, that was an increment of just 14 naira in give years, under Emefiele that value was surpassed in less than one year. From 162 to 200, that was 38 naira increase in just one year of taking up the job as CBN governor.
Only jail is befitting for this man.
If you describe the CBN GOVERNOR as a failure, then why was he reappointed and you refused to kick against his policies ever since till he declared his failed presidential bid before the alleged move against your druggie?
SadiqBabaSani: It baffles me that a cowardly Buhari could not find a way to prevent a crook from clinching his partys ticket because he was so damn scared despite been a General.
Ovi289: The truth is that Rivers State have never been in the same page with the Igbos starting from the era of old eastern region. The Support Igbos gave to Jonathan is because they don’t have any option as they have made enemies with the North and Yoruba simple.
Back then Rivers people where agitating for the creation of Rivers State but the Eastern Region Govt under the control of the Igbo rejected the plea until General Gowon made it possible and created Rivers State. This is why Wike renamed Elekahia stadium to Yakubu Gowon Stadium.
Shortly after the creation of old Rivers State which included Bayela, Akwa IBom and Cross Rivers, Ojukwu former Governor of Eastern Region declared Biafra and again included Old Rivers State back to the Eastern Region which he called Biafra. It was a big shock to Rivers People
. A lot of our people were killed by Biafra Soldiers, that is why up till date, the Ijaw people of Rivers State have annual celebrations of their liberation from Biafran Soldiers. But how did it end? Igbos properties where declared abandoned in Port Harcourt. And you think we will support Igbo man to be President? The Igbos should be asking for forgiveness and not votes.
There is no top politician supporting Peter Obi. In Rivers State. I challenge you to name just one? Only online noise makers from Igbo states, disturbing the social media.
Election is few weeks to come, we will all be here and see the result of Rivers State. Quote me after election
You want to dabble on the past Abi?
Why do you think your druggie now wants to rule what he doesn't believe in?
Realists: That Kaduna Nzeogwu murdered Northern premier and Western premier only is a fact. They want us to forget about our history because they won't an okoro to win !.
Just like we won't forget 👇 because you want the druggie to win
If the civil was won by Ojukwu can these ones have voice today, they may not even be alive. Therefore, their voice does not count if they intend to betray the people that gave them voice.
The Goodluck Jonathan you betrayed in 2015 is from which tribe? E be like your head dey pain you.
You now want to reference the past but shy away from a more recent one below 👇
integrity16: But you can have eze ndigbo Lagos branch abi ? Hypocrisy at its peak.
Oga there's a difference between Eze Ndigbo in Lagos, meaning "The King of Igbos in Lagos and Eze of Lagos (place or territory) translating to "King of Lagos"
Its a pity, with your education you can't read and comprehend.
So Tinubu, as the politician who "has the masses at heart" courtesy of his recent attack on the imaginary cabal, is silent about this development. Won't he lambast the attackers or the victims are not among the masses?
yarimo: can you tell me the Nigerian constitutional sections that said so ? Most of you because of free bonus data and lack of knowledge of politics and Nigerian constitution will just login to nairaland and type rubbish
President Muhammadu Buhari calls Bola Tinubu, the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the next president of Nigeria.
Speaking at the party’s campaign in Nasarawa on Saturday, Buhari described the former governor of Lagos as a “competent Nigerian”, who will give all he has for the country. “I’m very pleased today to be part of this campaign for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.
“I have known him for more than twenty-six years ago. I will continue to campaign for Bola Tinubu. He is a committed Nigerian and I believe he will give all he has to this country and to you Nigerians.” Buhari’s statement comes amid reports of rancour in the APC, after Tinubu’s outburst during the party’s presidential rally in Ogun, where he expressed dissatisfaction over the fuel and currency scarcity in the country.
“Even if you change the ink on naira notes, what you want will not happen. We will win. That umbrella party will lose. We will take this government from them — saboteurs that are dragging power with us,” said Tinubu in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun.
BluntTheApostle: The problem with you people is your lack of political sense.
There is nothing like sabotaging here.
The aim of Tinubu was to dethrone PDP, not necessarily GEJ.
CPC had the number in the North thanks to the cult following enjoyed by Buhari, there was ACN, and then splinters of PDP, APGA and one other party. Only such a merger could have removed PDP.
Moreover, GEJ had bleeped up already.
So it's now about party and not performance? The more reason the APC must be voted out.
Yeah, GEJ bleeped up just like Buhari but you guys re-elected him.
We are not all fools, you guys betrayed the South thinking you will gain but the reverse is the case today.
Occurstaem: You're wrong. How did SW betrayed Jonathan in 2015? That of 2011 is then what? You mean Tinubu sabotaged Jonathan? Even Jonathan is going to disagree with you. Sabotaged as how?
I'm not.
Jonathan sought re-election but most of the SW teamed up against him with an outsider. That of 2011 happened because he succeeded his late principal so the North also elected him.
If Jonathan is going to disagree with me, why didn't he endorse Tinubu when the druggie asked for his support while visiting him in Bayelsa?
Tinubu said GEJ wasn't doing well and I asked, was the Buhari he helped installed doing well when he campaigned for Buhari's re-election?
He was nursing a selfish agenda and wants to ascend the same seat he sabotaged the South from maintaining.
YorubaNiBaba: stop wasting ur tears now cuz u ipob pigs will have another 8 yrs to cry ur eyes out.... We say no to obidaft, nyamiri will never rule this country
I'm not nyammiri but assuming I am, what makes you think you red oil drinking betrayers will govern this country under APC? You lots haven't started crying.
In days to come, You will know that betraying your own for an outsider won't earn you their trust.
qawiyy: So atiku was not among those who brought BUHARI in 2015 abi? mtcheeew.... oh find another excuse Jor. just say you have personal hatred against Tinubu
Wether personal or not doesn't matter.
Atiku was an outsider. It is the rat inside the house than invites the one outside that there's a feast.
