Until marketers, Filling stations and black marketers are used as example, we would get any results.
In Nigeria, we get the leaders we deserve because even the ordinary man is full of corruption and greed.

These Independent Marketers are not needed in the supply chain in my opinion. Over the years, they have become some sort of cartel. We need to look at some alternative supply chain models.

pocom16:


Nothing was destroyed sir..

You aren't thinking straight..banks practice shaddy deals of selling USD to black markets and making up to N300 per note..

What Tinubu did was take steps to close that gap between official and BDC rate and have a unified rate like in any sensible economy..

Doing that is what brought that rate..it is a small sacrifice to take for the greater good..

Never has it happen that BDC rates will be less than official rate...this will allow the naira to truly experience it's true value and will keep the CBN in control of the currency not BDC or Binance.. Tinubu knows what he is doing, apparently he is not done..
He has to deal with obi supporters refusing to bring down the cost of imported goods

You have time to explain. If there is anything the CBN management have gotten right, it is the convergence of the black market and official exchange rate. At least, this eliminates the incentive for round-tripping by bank officials and other financial actors.

3rdeyeNigeria:


When Airpeace was air lifting Nigerians from war torn Sudan, did he check tribe?

What of from South Africa during Xenophobic attack..

Air Peace has always been pro Nigeria.

Your discomfort from seeing Isiagu attire from their promo is just your personal anti igbo bigotry.

Tinubu, Keyamo and lots of top placed people actually helped Air Peace because they understand that the battle is NGN Vs USD not Igbo Vs Youruba

Please give Tinubu, Keyamo and whoever helped to see to see to the success of Air peace their flowers. Why didn't former Aviation minister and President understand the battle of NGN versus USD? Hadi Sirika wanted to make Ethiopian Airlines our national carrier even at the expense of indigenous airlines.

SalamRushdie:
If Tinubu had taken over directly from Jonathan things wouldn't be this bad

I completely agree with you.

adioolayi:
We forget things easily...


State Governments were unable to pay salaries between 2015-2023 ....they were banking on paltry FAAC and FGN -CBN interventions through borrowing..

Now, subsidy is removed and their FAAC allocation increased by over ,60% ...Non of them is borrowing to pay salaries now..

..and yet, some of us are criticising the government for removal of subsidy

Although, there are still loads of things to be done, especially on alleviating the sufferings we masses are going through because of subsidy removal....the Nation would have collapsed if the subsidy was not removed.

Most Nigerians are forgetful. The Nigerian economy has been wobbling for some years. I remember when the former minister of finance and coordinating minister of the economy, Dr Okonjo Iweala, disclosed that Federal Government was borrowing to pay federal government employees towards the end of GEJ's government. About that same time, more than two-third of the states owed their employees several months' salary.

On of the first things Buhari did as president was to bail out the states with borrowed funds. He bailed out the states about 3 times and that started his journey of borrowing which persisted through its tenure.

I am curious to know how we got to a situation where FG couldn't afford to pay staff salaries towards GEJ tenure end despite the fact that Obasanjo previously got us debt relief and paid the outstanding debts.

ACRI:
If probed further, these are the elements causing insecurity in the country

Sudden wealth, too many cash as hand,then lure to extremism

Emefiele should have been allowed to finish the mop out excess cash from the public domain....this is one of the numerous loose cash chasing the few available $$ dollars

Sadly, Emefiele was part of the problem as he was mopping up Naira from the poor masses. The extra Naira that he and his cronies printed had already been converted to dollars so he mop up exercise was designed to fail as the poor people were the victims.

aribisala0:


It sounds fishy but when you say NOT ALLOWED

You need to educate us

NO LAW NO CRIME
Has he broken any rules
If he has not should we be making new rules to clarify things ?? Maybe

Is there a law that you can cite in Nigeria or any other country that outlaws this today??

Your analogy of permanent secretary is off key because that would be a direct conflict of interest

Being in the same government is not enough unless there is a demonstrated conflict of interest. or evidence that he influenced the award of the contract

If a lawyer becomes an Attorney general or Minister like Keyamo does that mean his Firm is no longer entitled to government work? It may sound fishy but what is needed is explicit rules not online moralizing


What is important here is to ask questions about the naturre of the contract and whether it was executed properly

A contract is not a sin or something dirty

When Tony Blair was Prime Minister. His wife was a Barrister getting government briefs. Was she to cease that because her Husband was Prime Minister

The real questions are was the contract thrown open to the public properly and did the government get value for the money paid out?

You make a lot of sense. One of the challenges that Nigerians have is the inability to distill issues. There is this tendency to want to crucify people based on their political affiliations. In my opinion, while it looks fishy, this man hasn't done anything wrong in my opinion except further material disclosures are made as to his involvement. Until then what we have are only suspicions, perhaps because of the antecedents of the average Nigerian politician.

MadamExcellency:
How is (8/48)*(100) equal to 31.8%. Which kin formula this man come use to arrive at this answer? Tinubu has spent 14.58% of his government.

You see the kind of intellectually deficient opposition leaders we have in this country. Simple arithmetic calculation he couldn't carry out. Is it by force to calculate percentage? Bwala has just shown his capacity. PDP should please get someone else to fill his position.

lawani:


Paying tax on your own without others paying is not going to help your country or do you think it will?. One tree can not make a forest

The young man isn't planning on being the only tree that would make a forest. He is satisfying his conscience and trying to fulfill all righteousness. To each his tent. I wonder why some individuals who commented earlier before you are irked by his personal decision.

madridguy:
Why our people be like this ? Why always us? No be by force to do care work.

I have since concluded that wickedness is embedded in the DNA of an average Nigerian, otherwise how does one rationalize the behaviours of some of our people even outside the country in "saner climes".

talk2hb1:
Like some people lack comprehension, they arrested her for inciting violence.
Not because she shared the truth.

Like, how the hell did she incite violence?! Yet, the people that murdered Deborah did not incite even greater violence?! I don't know which God you worship but for humanity sake, even if you an atheist, have a conscience and know that what happened was all shades of wrong. No one who kills innocent people ever go free.

MuchAdo:


Hotel room is no regular room!!!

Admittedly so! Even at that a girl that wants to get down with a boy has the right to change her mind at any point in time before the deed. It does not mean that she should be raped. Any man who rapes is a worthless idiot without self-esteem. Any guy who is worth his salt will let a non-willing girl go her way knowing that his worth can always get himself a better lay. What is the fuss about!

Fiscus105:



Wen u already knows his evil intention, why can't you avoid going inside with him, wen u know the chance to escape is minimal inside?

How do you assume that the girl knew his evil intention? Is it all young men that have evil intentions. Several years back I was a 19 year old boy like him and I didn't have evil intentions towards people's daughters. If I asked a lady out and she said know at any point in time, I simply walked away since I believed in my own self-worth.

Mhizzard:
The guy didn't raped the girl,because she followed him into the hotel without forcing her into the room.perhaps the girl was a virgin that had not experience to much sex to which the guy had with her

Sorry, do you mean to say that every time a girl follows a man into the room it must result in sex? A girl can follow you to a room and when you make a pass at her and she says know you must respect her wishes. It is thinking like yours that has landed many Nigerians in jail abroad.

Lastanza:


Where did you read that he struggled with her

As in, I don't understand and one idiot responded to him justifying the foolish assertion by citing his wife's tendency. Thank you for asking the question because I was beginning to doubt that we read the same story.

When you hear Nigerians complain about lack of jobs it is important to always ask them how faithful they have been with the ones that they were provided.

erico2k2:

This looks like Cultist hit and she was at the wrong place at the wrong time, he may have been the target.

This was no hit! According to him they slept together and he found her dead in the morning no marks. Then he put her in wheelbarrow to go and dump her because he was scared he would be blamed for her death. Then he left her corpse and locked up the house. But when police asked him who butchered the body he claimed he didn't know!

Jangbajantis:
Ah! Op said a full tank CNG will cover lower miles than a full tank petrol and diesel. So comparatively it's not really cheap in that sense. The more you look the less you see.

I have been better informed by your exchanges with the other guy.

firearcher:
If they continue like this, they will lose whatever is still left of their goodwill.

I hope they listen to you. They have already lost quite some goodwill though.

nairalanda1:
The fact is, there was violence throughout the polling units..in many units there was issues there

The problem is, were they happening in enough units to overturn the election?

As a matter of fact there was minimal violence during the presidential elections. Violence was more prevalent during the Gubernatorial elections due to the heat generated during the federal elections.

masseratti:
in economics stability of a currency is the key to economic growth, you will be able to plan, failure to plan is road to catastrophe.. Which is where we are heading to right now, once the naira is stabilized.. Government policies, plans will.. Or might come into effect even if the corruption is 50%,but uncertainty on naira.. If it rise any how or dip anyhow under a short period of time..!even if there is zero corruption.. All government plans /policies will fail.. This thing is not rocket science... Float the naira for real even if tomorrow morning it's 100,000 naira to a $, let it be stable..

Now to your other opinion.. Nigeria is not the only "manufacturing production deficient" in the whole world.. In fact 67% of the countries in Europe are also deficient when it comes to production of manufacture, agriculture, mineral resources, but yet none of them have a dichotomy of foreign exchange rate like we do.. It's an abnormally which must stop or else.. All of us PDP, ApC, LP.. Whatever will be poorer... From Dangote down.. If we don't find a solution to this naira swirling down a tunnel... Zimbabwe issue will be a child's play when it dawn on us.

I pray President Tinubu find a solution quickly right now or anybody.. We need help actually. Not loans real help on how to stabilize our currency.

I share your sentiment fully and I do agree that we need to fully float the Naira. And talking about my second point, I never spoke about manufacturing. I only inferred that after floating the Naira we need to resume productive activities whether the production of goods or rendering of services. We cannot continue to have a negative balance of trade or payment.

masseratti:
This must be a joke of the century.. No way any Government can outlaw black market.... In any product or currency... There is a reason it's called black market... Abolish the official I&E window and trade at the value of the "parallel market" the naira will stabilize instantly.

You have a point and what you have recommended is full floating of the Naira. This will stabilize the Naira but it will exchange at about #2000 to about $1 until we start producing sufficiently for our consumption and exportation.


@reference, you are certainly on point the restrictive policy of the CBN to favour a couple of people is not sustainable.

juman:
He should look for strong lawyer.
He has good case.
He behaved badly but can claim shared love,

I laugh out loud. In those climes, this claim of shared love wouldn't hold.

There is what you call information asymmetry which places the lady at a disadvantage. In treating the lady, what information did this guy come into possession of, that gives him leverage over her. That is what this is all about.

Ethical conducts are not about 'what is' but 'what ought to be'. We have very poor ethical standards in Nigeria and it is important for folks to double check on what is acceptable when they travel abroad.

Botragelad:

This is the trouble with most Christians, softness and pity. You are wishing for terrorist, brainwashed terrorist to turn over a new leaf instead of sorting them out.

How do you reckon Israel still stands till now? These are terrorist, you have to deal with them with a firm hand. If Israel were that soft-hearted they wouldn't be standing. Give those terrorist a bit of room and watch them wreck your country and force themselves on you.

Unfortunately, it seems like a weakness but it is compassion and it is one of the planks on which Christianity is founded. When Apostle Peter sliced off the ears of one of the people that were going to crucify Jesus, He (Jesus) rebuked Peter and fixed the ears. Do you think that Jesus lacked what it takes to decree death upon all the people that assaulted him even unto death? Why do you think He didn't wield His powers.

BigYash:
They children will grow to be worst than their terrorists parents.. So,no need for upcoming terrorists to escape, cux they will come for you tomorrow..

Unfortunately, if this was the way Jesus thought I am not sure many people will be alive today. Those you term as upcoming terrorists may actually give their lives to Christ and do exploits for His Kingdom. God use such vessels mightily.

1. So America now has jurisdiction in Nigerian affairs ?

2.By the way, it is legal in America to print fake diplomas, there is even an advertised business for that, however, it is illegal in America to submit fake diplomas to state agencies or employers or any official setting while claiming they are genuin.

3. What I said was not my interpretation, but just facts, objectif facts which are inconvenient to your cause.

I am sorry, but we may need to discontinue this condition if you cannot say thematic without personalizing issues. To be clear about it, I do not represent Tinubu and I have no "cause" in this matte that can be inconvenienced. It is trite law that the power to proclaim a document as forged lies with the one who has authority to issue. Not any other person. At the very least, CSU has not agreed that it's certificate was forged. Hence, I suggest that Atiku should seek clarification in the U.S court. That seems to be his best bet because a thousand opinions will not influence the supreme court. What can help Atiku is a court pronouncing the document forged based on American practices. If that happens, Atiku can proceed to the Supreme court in Nigeria with the judgement.

Stoplying:

The legitimate "dipolma-vendor" works for the university under contract and the request for printing a diploma has to go through the university registrar who would then give the order to print or not to print the diploma to the dipolma-vendor.

I have taken the liberty to quote you verbatim as I understand the content of your post. As correcting the inherent errors could make me liable to committing the act of forgery, I implore you to correct those typos yourself.

Now, jokes apart this your post is your interpretation of the transcript and it doesn't represent the position of the registrar of CSU based on his deposition. If Tinubu, violated any rule in the U.S, it is very easy. Forgery is a big deal in the United States, it is easy for Atiku to file a suit in the American courts and to get the courts to pronounce Tinubu of forgery or otherwise.

The determination of forgery of U.S documents or otherwise cannot be done by Nigerians on the social media. Atiku has relied on the independence of the American judiciary thus far, he can still stretch his luck a little bit more. Who knows! He might just strike gold, I date him to.

Shattuck:
you guys still don't get it, so what you are saying is Nigeria's law shouldn't exist, in America certificate may not hold that much weight but in Nigeria it isn't the same, whose law will then be used US laws or Nigeria's, certificate is to Nigeria what transcript is to america, now can you tell me the US will allow you to submit a forged transcript, even if you graduated from the institution, can you travel with a forged visa even when you have an original visa would their laws allow you to go free even if you have an original one, so many nations have different laws if in Sudan you don't need to study at all before you can be awarded a degree, can I now come to Nigeria and claim I have a degree in medicine and when I am being challenged I get to defend my self with what's happens in Sudan, even tinubu knows there are legal issues that was why he fought against this, if this was a normal procedure why fight it? Look I under the sentiments surrounding his case because he indeed attended the institution, it's gonna be ironic to see the supreme court rule in his favour the court always defends it's biased ruling by always claiming the court does not rule based on sentiments, and emotion, because that is the only ground, legally he stands no chance.

Thanks for mentioning me. My analysis isn't based on any emotions of whether the dude attended the school or not. It is based on my interpretation of the facts of the matter which I will expatiate on.

First, the authority to issue certificates to students lies with the institution (CSU) and if it is agreed that they authorize replacement certificates by 3rd parties, that is the end. It would have been a different case if it was a Nigerian institution because replacement certificates are issued by the school themselves.

The replacement certificate that the dude parades is American and guided by the American rules and practice. Therefore if CSU says it isn't forged based on practice then nobody can pronounce it forged. This should be basic logic. In the case of his forfeiture, it was argued that the American law recognizes both civil and criminal forfeitures and that his was a civil forfeiture without conviction by American law. Once that was established the court upheld the argument and it was over. The same thing would play out here and that is it.

Wujio:



You dont listen either. Since the signature deemed forged, what is submitted to INEC is against the oath that all document submitted are valid and this makes it criminal. Shut up to understand context una no go gre

The validity of a document can only be established by the body who has the authority to issue it. Not any other person; something applies to the forgery of a signature.

Which of the representatives of CSU has come out to say his or signature was forged? In the absence of such this is a wild goose chase that is not leading anywhere

If Atiku's legal team truly believe the bunkum that they are spreading, let them sue Tinubu in in a U.S court for forgery of his certificate. A pronouncement by the U.S court that what Tinubu did is inconsistent with the practices in America and that it amounts to forgery, will help serve Atiku's cause. He has shown belief in the American judicial system, so I dare him to take it further.

Dittodat:
Only people who have never lived in thr US will disagree with everything this man wrote here.
He's almost 100 percent correct on everything.
The only part that I'm not sure of is if CSU can really rescind a certificate that was awarded so many years ago even if any student used a fake result to gain admission.
Possible but nit sure.
Everything else that he wrote is 100 percent correct.
I'm just laughing at the ignorance if so many Nigerians. It's sad and pathetic.

It is not just pathetic, it betrays our lack of capacity for logical and critical thinking. At least if you must unravel a mystery do it well and not by relying on falsehoods or propaganda.

Racoon:
Bola Adekunle Ahmed Tinubu committed forgery and perjury. He must be prosecuted, convicted and jailed this time around. The ones of 1974 and 1999 he escaped because of the gross rotteness of the Nigerian judiciary system.

I am sorry but you seem not to understand what you personally posted. For some of us that are fairly acquainted with the practices in the U.S, like Kperogi said there is nothing like forgery of certificate here once all the information on it are consistent with the school's record, you can get a replacement and it does not equate to a forgery. It is equally refreshing to read Kperogi logically address of Tinubu impersonating a lady.

Tunde835:
Tinubu needs to start using an iron fist with your kind.

Honestly, I don't think Tinubu needs to use iron-fist against them. Tinubu just needs to leave them to help him campaign for his second term. I have seen a few people who didn't vote for Tinubu but now supports him having heard from the school that he attended and graduated brilliantly.
