socialmediaman:
This is exactly why I’m with Peter Gregory Obi all the way to Aso Rock

He did it in Anambra, and he’s the only candidate who can be bold enough to make this promise to Nigerians.

Others have promised and failed!

What did he do in Anambra regarding security??

socialmediaman:
Politics aside, comparing Emilokan with Peter Obi is like comparing a rich heroin trafficker and a successful entrepreneur. One got rich from selling heroin in Chicago and looting state treasury, while the other worked hard and earned his wealth before even joining politics.

Peter Obi started his life as a trader and entrepreneur, bought his first house in the UK at 35, became a bank MD in Nigeria in his 40s before entering politics to eventually become one of the best governors Nigeria has ever produced.

For those asking what he achieved in Anambra, the thread below is a summary with a video for you to digest.

For starters, Anambra GDP grew by over 40% in 2 years under Peter Obi (2009 - 2011). For comparison within the same period he was governor, Nigeria’s average annual GDP growth was about 6%.

No need to waste my space here writing about Tinubu. He just doesn’t compare to Peter Obi

Anambra GDP grew by 40%, yet poverty increased to about 60%?

Isn't that interesting??

Cromagnon:
Such a foolish statement
You think you get to say how extreme you want your tyranny?


because you are at 50K. Level abi, those above you can go to hell
I hope they make it 1K
Shebi you like cashless policy?

lol.

Some of us see things from the macro perspective though it's understandable you might not.

tdayoojo:
Bad news for your slay queens. You can not do more than 100k cash transaction per day. Internet banking is still open for you sha. I only hope network will not mess you up. There is a kind of mixed feelings here though. Just pulling your legs sha.

Indeed. i'm a little happy sef.

nairamaniac:
Did you read and understand number 5 at all?

5. The maximum cash withdrawal via point of sale (PoS) terminal shall be N20.000 daily.

Meaning the TOTAL MAXIMUM WITHDRAWAL VIA POS would be 20k daily.

Not 10k per person as you seem to have misunderstood.

Don't be a clown.

The max withdrawal via pos per individual is 20k

chaseblack:
How will they(POS owners) get the cash?

By withdrawing over the counter?

babajero:
And they didn't even bother to investigate if the owner has been kidnapped, or even track the details of the registered papers, immediately they ran to social media.

It's obvious coming to social media is part of the investigation.

Intellectuall01:
Same here oh. If I'm hanging out, I don't like paying with POS. I always carry cash oh and 20k is too minimal.

You get it.

jayworld15:
It will affect them a lot. Check the reason why people do transaction with POS agents. One of them is unavailability of cash in ATM machines.

I've pointed out that the vast majority of POS transactions are below 10k.

Anything beyond that, you would most likely do a transfer in the first place.

linearity:
But you can do a transfer from you phone.

Let’s look at the big picture, there is no policy implemented that will satisfy everyone in the Country.

This one will help sap lucrativeness out of kidnapping because the only means of them receiving their high demands will be through a transfer which can be traced later.

This policy is good, especially in Nigeria and will help fight corruption, yes there will be little inconveniences as you indicated, but look at the bright side…….you now have one more reason to give to your dates why you can’t spend BIG on your date nights!

The thing is I use Zenith and that bank can be so useless. When they don't have network, nothing is going to work at all.

But yeah I can solve this by getting a second account. I am in support of the move overall. Life is about to get ver difficult for the corrupt.

Akwamkpuruamu:
Now, how will POS guys survive? This is not fair to the common man

It won't affect them much.

The vast majority of POS transactions are under 10k.

Wahala.

Though I support anti-cash measures, this one is extreme, as our systems are not fully mature.

50k would ave been much better.

For instance, my card has failed several times, while out on dates, so I always withdraw enough cash to cover the outing.

Wizzyonyxphoenix:
I didn't realise some females could be this wicked until my cousin called me up yesterday, and told me that one of his female friends, whom he invited for a hook up, had recorded a video of him naked and was threatening to post it online if he didn't pay her 50k.

She gave him a deadline, which is next week Monday actually. According to him, they had just finished doing the do, and the girl had started flashing her phone light, while he moved around naked (the room is pretty dark) so he felt she was helping him see clearly, not knowing that she had recorded not one but TWO videos of him stark naked.

Now he's crying profusely and running around like a headless chicken. What is he supposed to do guys? He tried calling her bluff but the girl in question seems pretty intent on ruining his life if he doesn't pay that money. He also has the option of giving her his phone, peradventure he doesn't get the money.

Honestly, I feel sorry for the guy, but that's what he gets for not being able to keep it in his pants. What would you advice him to do in this situation guys? His reputation is at stake here oooo....

Go tonthe police immediately. Blackmail is a serious offence and you have proof so its easy.

https://saharareporters.com/2021/05/28/tinubu-takes-n9billion-lagos-internally-generated-revenue-account-monthly-says-bode

Okay, so Tinubu takes 9 billion naira monthly according to you and Bode George. That gives us roughly 100 billion naira annually which is around $200 million annually.

Is it $200 million that will turn lagos into Dubai?? Can you see why you can't be taken seriously?

Dubai annual budget: $63.6 billion.

So where is the basis for comparison between Lagos and Dubai??

Brendaniel:
And I'm telling you that Lagos is developing slowly because someone is stealing the funds meant for development, in Tinubu's words he is richer than Osun state, how? Lagos money meant for development...

Tinubu wants to become president using the Lagos development as his credit and I am here to prove him all wrong using Dubai to show that he is wrong...

Okay, so how much is the money he is taking from Lagos?

Brendaniel:
Tinubu said he is richer than Osun state, how did he achieve that, which business did have before becoming governor of Lagos, please name one with verifiable evidence...

I've not made any claims about Tinubu's wealth so what is my business proving or disproving his businesses? I have no idea whatsoever.

What we are talking about is your claim that Lagos should be like Dubai. And you have failed to show that Lagos has had the same resources as Dubai, and are now attempting to found your claims on allegations you cannot prove.

That's not how it works.

Brendaniel:
Tinubu's worth is how much was stolen...

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

And if you dont know the exact figure that was allegedly stolen, what is the basis of comparison with other places?

Brendaniel:
That is my major point, the development is slow because some people are stealing recklessly from the vault of Lagos...

So, how much was stolen from the vault of Lagos?

Brendaniel:
Don't forget that Lagos was also FCT for 77 years and that meant development was centered to it as seat of power, that was the glory of Nigeria's development till about 1989, that is why I said what I said, even cities in Japan that had war at a nuclear scale destroyed are today finer than Lagos even when Lagos was already developing, the question is why is the development slower than others, even some other African countries are doing better in terms of development compared to when they started and Lagos also started, this is not about IGR, some of them have lesser IGR, Lagos is supposed to be the glory of Nigeria's development like Dubai is to UAE, if Lagos is as developed as what Politicians are claiming, they and their children will not be traveling out for vacations, medicals, schools and so on or even to live there like Aisha Buhari.

Again you want to compare Lagos with Japan, another nation.

This is a simple thing. From the date the federal government left lagos till today, compare and contrast the rate of development with any other city you like, in view of the available resources.

Did Lagos under Tinubu have the resources of Japan or Dubai?

Brendaniel:
we are not talking of UAE, we are talking of Dubai a city like Lagos city, we are not comparing a country's IGR with a state...

Don't be ignorant. Dubai is a City State, and the major state in the UAE.

Now, lets do it your way. Go and check Dubai's oil revenue and compare with Lagos state allocation and igr at that time.

Brendaniel:
All these Tinubu built Lagos people, going by what federal government did in Lagos before since it was the capital of Nigeria, Lagos is supposed to be as fine or finer than dubai, so all the Tinubu built Lagos people here are pictures as evidence from 1960 and 1970 compared to Dubai around the same period, at that time Tinubu was still known Yekini Amoda Ogunlere.

Please compare the pictures of Lagos in 1960/70 to Dubai as desert in 1960 and 2021 - Tinubu did not build Lagos, Lagos built Tinubu

Can you compare the UAE's oil revenue with Lagos state allocation and igr at that time?

Go and verify.

opalu:
Atiku, Kwankwaso and Obi are mentally sound!!!
But Obi is the best in his programmes. Obi is very passionate about making Nigeria to be at par with other Nations. Atiku was passionate about Privatizing refineries, Universities everything!!

If we look at it objectively, it is clear Kwankwaso is the best of the lot.

Chinonye2022:
People that will vote for Atiku wil vote for Atiku people that wil vote for Obi wil vote for Obi people that wil vote for Tinubu wil vote for Tinubu nothing will ever change their minds

Which is why i always marvel at the social media aggressiveness.

It should be known by now that anyone who has not decided by now, probably has no voters card.

The lines are set. Its just to ginger your group to come out on election day.

Kingcalls:
We know the meaning of those colours ...there are not just colours ...they dont want their people to get influenced.... countries like Russia North Korea China are also against it .... Wear ur rainbow in ur room...dont do those stuff publicly

Good! Now what we wre saying is that they should be allowed to wewr the rainbow bands while in the stadiums, which is the domain of the world cup.

So at that point its not disturbing Qatar in anyway. If they feel they don't want to be influenced, they can refuse to watch.

Balance.

Kingcalls:
Who made the westerners belief the right one ?? We don't practice one religion or tradition.... and for the world to have peace, we must include everyone.... Qatar are the hosts, so u must adhere to the beliefs of ur host ... when usa or Germany or France hosted...the Muslim countries dint insist that women must cover their hair in those host nations... they came to play football, and thats what they did ... and then left after the tournament.... it is absolutely wrong to force ur beliefs or force ur host to accept ur beliefs....

No one said the westerners' belief is the right one. We are saying the same basic thing. For the world to have peace we must include everyone - that means Qatar, and every other host must make compromises.

They, Qatar, said no public display of affection. That is unusual for the world but the world accepted it.

Now even, colours too, you want to still find it offensive. Why should you have your way on all issues if you truly desire equitable inclusion of all at the global table?

There should be a willingness to compromise on the lesser issues. Obviously wearing rainbow colors does not hurt Qatar in any way.

Kingcalls:
At least they don't expose it like the westerners do cos they know its not normal .... if they wanna do their gay shit , they should do it behind closed doors and not force our children to accept it as normal...

Muslim countries have always been plating tournaments in Western countries , they have never forced their ideology on others ...but the westerners always try to do that on others...its absolutely wrong... WHEN IN ROME , ACT LIKE THE ROMANS ... na wetin white man talk ...but look at the nonsense these simps are doing

The broader question, good sir, is the World Cup the guest of Qatar, or is Qatar a guest of the World Cup?

When Qatar invited the World Cup into its home, was it unaware of the global nature of the world cup?

Is it unreasonable to expect concessions therefore?

They are just tormenting the poor boy for nothing because under Nigerian law, you can have sex with a 16 year old.

NwaIdeato:
Even with all the sit-at-home nonsense and other strangulations caused by the insensitivity of the Federal government to the crisis in the East (also caused by this APC government), our children still do their best to stay in school and outperform other regions in the indices of national exams across Nigeria...Igboland is a gold mine but bastards like Simon Ekpa and that British wanna-be terrorist have destroyed the once enviable peace, serenity and prosperity of the East with their unknown gunmen nonsense that have attracted all sorts of criminals into the East...but we survived a brutal civil war and we shall overcome this pestilence as well.

God bless our children
God bless Alaigbo
Thunder fire Agbadorians.

Even after ou acknowledged your real problem, you still want to fight Yorubas for no reason. Why so much hate?

imadiyi:
What is huge there, among over 200,000,000 Nigerians? Nigerian universities produce over 200,000 graduates yearly, and you are here complaining of just 66,000. Una funny ooo

Each one pays fees of at least 10k pounds annually. Mutliply that by 66k and see the amount of fx getting drained from this coutbry annually.

Racoon:
This fool will not respect himself after blaming bureau de change operators. Grossly clueless & incompetent always passing the buck.

Did he say there was one sole cause??

He is telling the truth of course.
