IPOB man should not be seen anywhere close to our islamic republic of Sudan, he may convert everyone to Christianity there, Dont trust them😀

Honestly it is only here in Nigeria you see politicians use same pattern (religion and ethnicity) every four years to canvass for our votes not what they have achieved in the years freely given to them.

For example in Lagos the self acclaimed sophisticated land 😀😀😀

2007 ethnicity was used, igbos want to take lagos

2011 ethnicity was used, Igbos wants Lagos by all means so that they will start selling lagos lands to their people😂😂😂😂

2015, igbos are jealous of yorubas progress, so they want to hijack Lagos

2019, igbos wants our land so they can include it as part of biafra land😂😂😂😂

2023 Igbos want to install their son Chukwudi gbadebo so they can replace our Obas with Eze and introduce IPOB

Same preaching every four years yet the most educated region believed them

I seriously doubt you're an igbo man but if you're, then you're very foolish. Stop making making enemies for igbos.

Elections have come and gone. BTW I'm an igbo man and I hate statements like this. There are many hausas in this abuja helping igbo supporting igbo business.

I want to be part of this marathon, please where are they registering Any one with vital info should drop it here.

I have searched the Pavilion, I'm seeing Pavilion restaurant. Is that the place?

I asked ChatGPT what will be the effect of subsidy
removal on the naira. Here's what he has to say.


The removal of fuel subsidy can have both short-term and long-term effects on the value of the naira. In the short-term, the removal of fuel subsidy can lead to an increase in the price of fuel, which can cause inflationary pressures in the economy. This can cause a depreciation of the naira as the purchasing power of consumers decreases, leading to a decrease in demand for the currency.

However, in the long-term, the removal of fuel subsidy can lead to a reduction in the government's expenditure on fuel subsidy, which can free up resources for investment in infrastructure and other areas of the economy. This can lead to increased economic growth, which can increase the demand for the naira, leading to an appreciation of the currency.

Overall, the effect of fuel subsidy removal on the naira will depend on a variety of factors, including the implementation of appropriate economic policies and the response of investors and consumers to the change in fuel prices.



I also asked ChatGPT how subsidy removal will affect NGN/USD rate, here what he has to answer.


It is difficult to predict with certainty how the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria will impact the exchange rate between the Nigerian naira and the US dollar. There are many factors that can influence the value of a currency, including economic conditions, political stability, inflation, interest rates, and international trade policies, among others.

In general, the removal of fuel subsidy could lead to an increase in the price of fuel, which could result in higher inflation and a weaker currency. However, it is possible that the removal of fuel subsidy could also lead to improved economic conditions, such as increased revenue for the government, which could strengthen the currency.

Ultimately, the impact of the removal of fuel subsidy on the exchange rate will depend on a variety of factors, including the overall state of the Nigerian economy, the government's economic policies, and global economic conditions.


My deduction is that subsidy removal will definitely skyrocket prices of goods especially with the greedy nature of the average Nigerian. This will in turn result in inflation, purchasing power will be low and demand for naira will fall.

However, if govt implement good policies and utilise the money judiciously, the naira will see a rebound in the long-term. Otherwise, its otilo

And as far as I'm concerned, Tinubu isn't ready to serve, there are too many thieves.

In conclusion, we'll most likely see a slightly weaker naira against the USD

This is how the global press described what we did with ourselves called elections:


*The Economist* said a _“chaotically organized vote and messy count”_ gave Nigeria a new president.
https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/03/01/bola-tinubu-nigerias-political-kingmaker-wins-a-flawed-election

*The Financial Times* said in an editorial comment that our presidential election was _“deeply flawed”_ and the winner _“a wealthy political fixer.”_
https://www.ft.com/content/ad9bbed0-a2c4-4e20-96ae-c23cd42296fe

*The Guardian of U.K.* described the winner as _“an immensely wealthy veteran powerbroker trailed by corruption allegations which he denies.”_
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/02/the-guardian-view-on-nigerias-election-a-fresh-start-not-this-time

*The New York Times* described him as _“a divisive figure in Nigerian politics.”_
https://www.nytimes.com/article/nigeria-election.html

*Robert Rotberg,* founding director of the Harvard Kennedy School's programme on intrastate conflict, wrote an opinion for *Canada's influential Globe and Mail*; its headline: _“Bola Tinubu's election is another triumph for Nigeria's corrupt old guard.”_
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/opinion/article-bola-tinubus-election-is-another-triumph-for-nigerias-corrupt-old/

*The Times of London* was the most disrespectful. It used this very bad phrase: _“a wealthy kleptocratic 'godfather' of politics”_ to describe the person who will replace our very clean Buhari on May 29, 2023. As bad as those characterizations are, they are not as damaging as the Financial Times' revelation that it personally _“witnessed armed men remove a presidential ballot box in Surulere, Lagos”_ on Election Day.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nigeria-presidential-election-bola-tinubu-claims-victory-as-rivals-demand-rerun-n07228v57

*The CNN* last Friday played back a part of Bola Tinubu's acceptance speech where he described what he got as _“a serious mandate.”_ A CNN anchor then asked if it _“was really a mandate”_ with less than 10 percent of the registered voters behind it. He must be wondering what kind of people are these? The CNN and that anchor were not the only ones bemused by our electoral culture, our elections and their outcomes.

One of *Germany's* largest newspapers, *Sueddeutsche Zietung*, had unflattering words for the winner; it also queried the legitimacy of a mandate that was spurned by 90 per cent of the voting population.

*Aljazeera* ran a special report on how the election was disrupted in Lagos last Saturday. The headline is: _'How violence robs Nigerians of their votes.'_
https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/3/2/how-violence-robs-nigerians-of-their-votes

*The Washington Post* quoted Matthew Page, associate fellow with Chatham House’s Africa Program, as accusing INEC of making both deliberate and unintentional mistakes: *_“They raised the hopes about the election and its transparency, and then they dashed them. When the opposition says the process was broken, it’s hard to argue with them.”_*

*Other Newspaper Headlines from around the world*

*Austria:*
_A drug baron wins the presidential election in Africa’s biggest economy._

*Poland:*
_Nigeria chooses a known drug lord as LEADER._

*Canada:*
_"Depression, anxiety, uncertainty be-clouds Nigeria’s political space a drug-kingpin wins the election."_

This is stinking!

Next time include your sources, don't be lazy.

gfelo:
good spoke, but you know we are all human beings, for peace to reign and if actually we are one Nigeria the constitution should be amended let the three majority tribe be given equal right so that the presidential seat will be rotated among the three majority tribe, then we will know that we are ONE NIGERIA, not when is being shared among two tribe.

you are not a true blood of Igbo origin.

If we go by your analogy, tiv, ijaw, gbagyi and a host of other sizable ethnic groups will scream I justice.

From what I can deduce, you must align with the north to get presidency. You can get presidency y aligning only with the south.

Brendaniel:


With injustice?....

Not only igbo suffer injustice in Nigeria, every other time suffers injustice in this country. Yorubas aren't doing better than igbos but see tinubu approached buhari, formed alliance and today he's got the support of the north

Brendaniel:


Oga you are not Igbo, you have every right to live in any part of Nigeria and you have the rights to support your candidate without lying.

Support your candidate with your full chest but don't claim what you are not...

I don't need to prove anything to you. All I'm saying is that the igbo nation stand to gain so much in the Nigerian project

OkwuEziokwu:
Ozu, drop your address!

Hope you won't start shouting biafra now that obi wasn't declared the winner.... if you have Sense, you will understand that the South East has lost so much in the last 7yrs a result of the biafra shit.

Many have also been killed for nothing. I doubt you live in the east or have lost anyone.

Well, we the well meaning igbos will continue to push for a better treatment for the igbo nation in the Nigerian project

I don't need any soothsayer to tell me this election was heavily rigged in favour of APC. However, we're one people.

Anyone who's aggrieved with the Verdict of inec should go to court.

All those shouting war, nah thunder go fire you all. War isn't anyone's mate. We need peace in Nigeria to excel.

I'm from enugu state, so for my igbo brothers, I don't want to hear anything biafra. Biafra existed and ended in 1970. Nigeria is our only country and we must continue to pray for it to succeed by every means.

Igbos must build bridges with every tribe in Nigeria and also learn to respect their host (we travel alot).

In all, peace is the only way we can move forward in Nigeria.

Long live the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Live from Abuja Municipal, Kabusa ward, ketti primary school 2 polling unit.

TheboyGhost:


Lol a Stranger tells you to enter the back of his car for business and he is accompanied by 2 other strangers then you agreed?

You dey take risk ooh

Sorry about the money.

I didn't see it as risk. It was 3.3pm and we were right in front of shoprite with lots of people around including security officials.

Chukzbaby:


May God replenish your loss in thousand folds.

But boss I will soo appreciate if you can introduce me to that amazon associates please

It's not rocket science,

1. Find a product on Amazon with low competition.
2. Do keyword research to find answers to questions surrounding that product.
3. Create your website
4. Write seo optimized articles
5. Try creating backlinks to your posts.
6. Google will pick it up and rank them.
7. Once you have traffic, apply for Amazon associates and earn. Note Amazon are very strict, you could be banned for knowingly or unknowingly breaking any of their rules.

I'm moving away from Amazon already, its not so lucrative unless you have a very huge site.

Tokskob2008:
Bank transfers are pretty bad right now because of the cashless policy no doubt but you just trusting a guy you just met online with that kind of cash is so wrong. If he was one of your old customers I would said you did the right thing by trusting him but you don't know the guy from anywhere at all and that was the first time of doing business with him so what's up with that kind of sudden trust

The truth is that I trust so easily. I didn't get alert when I sold my Watch 7. The alert came in 1hr later.

I learnt my lesson. I'm very certain I can never make this type of foolish mistake again.

numtums:
Na man dey do man... May God replenish the loss in multiple folds.

Amen!!

Funny enough, while we were packed in front of shoprite, an army guy and police man stationed there looked at the car and said you guys look like bad people. The guy at the front said they are not, that they are just trying to close a deal.

That was the first sign, I could remember someone saying these force men are very spiritual and can easily detect evil when they see it. I waved it off with the taught that the force men might be looking for bribe.

There was something off about these guys. They didn't really look like people who could buy that watch. I said you don't judge people wealth by appearance.

The guy should be around 40-45, and he said he wanted to buy the watch for his son. I was wondering why get a watch for a small child. Perhaps, he married very early was my taught.

Anyways, it's past tense.

Because of the recent cash scarcity, transfer and POS is now the order of the day, so you all be very careful.

So I have been trying to sell off my old watches which I have been advertising here and on jiji. I been able to sell two of the watches and two smartbands, and all the payments were via transfer.

This guy called me yesterday that he saw my ad on jiji and wanted to buy my Galaxy Watch 3 for his son. We bargained 100k. He said he was in the office and would call me once he's done.

After about an hour, he called that he's on his way to Lugbe shoprite in Abuja (I stay around there).

When he got to shoprite, he described he's car, and they were three guys in the car. The guy I have been talking with was sitting at the back. He said I should come inside.

The guy inspected the watch, and confirmed everything was fine. He said he has transferred my money, and then showed me his phone that he has been debited. I wasn't even concerned about the debit alert, I'm very aware of fake alert.

Based on trust, I just told him he could go with the watch while I expect my credit alert (based on network, I dont know if it will take 24hrs or more).

He told me thank you and left, and that was the end.

From there I went to get fuel, I stayed 30 minutes at the filling station, no alert. I started calling this thief and he didn't pick.

I have called him over 50 times with my both lines, but the shameless he-goat refused picking my calls, instead he switched off the phone. I realised I have been scammed, I deleted his number so I'm not tempted to call him again. The last thing I want now is distraction. If 100k makes him happy so be it.

I feel very angry because I allowed him go based on trust. I thought I was dealing with a gentle man.

Moreover this month has been very tough for me, Amazon out of the blues closed my associates account for a mistake I made in 2020, and withheld my $1400.

I now realise why the driver of the bus I took while coming back to Abuja turned to a mad man at lokoja simply because 6hrs later the transfer I did to him has not reflected on his account. He said before we continue our journey to Abuja, I must pay him his money in cash. I was forced to withdraw 20k from POS at 3k charge. He eventually saw the alert by 7pm after we arrived Abuja, and I was given back my cash.

Henceforth, I no see alert for my phone with all the marks from my bank, no deal.

Be warned, some Nigerians can be so daft. I couldn't understand why a grown ass man will be so useless.
