This is real wahh

ivolt:
Stop confusion yourself.
That value of dollar like any other commodity does rise and fall. This is an incontrovertible fact.

Dollar is not a commodity. It is a currency. The rise and fall of dollar rate is as a result of shortfall in availability. It is not a commodity that will require intervention in production for stable rate so the rise and fall is artificial.

Aboki fx is not a broker.
Even if it is, it would have to be managed by the most unintelligent folks we have in the country.
You don't announce to buy an item at an arbitrary price

Dollar is not a stock to be brokered. Aboki FX is a trader used by anti development institution working against the government. Their rates are arbitrary. CBN has to push up it rate because people that have access were taking dollar from CBN and exchanging at black market rate. CBN will allocate dollar to arbitrary firms for import only for them to trade it in the black market.

Any money that comes into the bank is essentially in the right channel.
CBN do not push up exchange rate. In fact, it lacks the power to do so.

You speak based on your understanding. Most bank tellers are doing their own Hussle. They smile each time someone comes with dollar for exchange. They make more money from black market sales of dollar than their take home salaries. This is private businesses inside the bank. They contact their black market plug every morning for rates. This I have seen. No falseprophet

Again nobody pays huge amount for dollars. Dollar is not some heavenly ID card.

So why is it exchanged as such an amount. Why not boycott the dollar if it is unimportant.

Dollar is mostly useless to those who gets their Naira fraudulently.
You can't get Naira cheaply, you either work for it or steal it from someone else.
That has nothing to do with ease or difficulty.

The word cheap and easy are not synonyms. When someone abuse his office for personal gain, it is cheaply gotten wealth. At least, you agree with me that the high rate of fx is as a result of people who got their wealth fraudulently exchanging their naira to dollar at any amount.

The dollar or naira doesn't rise and fall. The only thing that rises and falls is the demand for those pieces of paper and the general cost of production.
In the US for instance, the cost of bottled water doesn't suddenly increase. As long as the production cost remain the same, the price will remain the same. That is economics.
But in Nigeria, everything is tied to the dollar as if the dollar has become our national currency. The demand for dollars by japa candidates and politicians that loots our treasury and business owners who are import based businesses makes individuals that earn dollars to sell to the highest bidder. If aboki fx announce that they will buy dollar for N1,500 tomorrow, it doesn't mean that dollar is N1,500. It means that someone has offered to pay Aboki fx maybe N1,550 to a dollar. It doesn't mean that the value of dollar is put to be N1,500. It is just Aboki fx offering rate to make people sell the dollar to them instead of taking it to bank.
The banks capitalized on these and sell the dollar they receive from customers to these black marketers of dollar without letting it pass through approved regulated channels. This is what forced CBN to push up exchange rate to dollar and even offer extra 5naira to any dollar received but these guys at black market always tends to offer more.
Because the demand for dollars is still high, you can only expect upward exchange rate because most of those that pay these huge amount for a dollar gets the naira fraudulently and cheaply.
The only way out is for government to work on cost of production but it seems they are just short sighted like every other government.
The power sector is dealing with Nigerians. Instead of government to improve power and reduce tariffs charge on power to the minimum, they chose to sell it to money mongers who only care about profits and not results. Dangote refinery has taken off and is producing Diesel which should be celebrated, but it is all for profit and not to reduce cost of production. Though it will reduce demand for dollars to import the product he will be producing, but if the price is not brought down to max of N200, it will not change a thing in the prices of goods and services. The worst is, government is planning on selling it own refinery. So it means no checks to dangote refinery. He will determine what price he sells his product just like they have done to cement.
An economy that government doesn't have industries that act as check and balance to private businesses, the masses suffers.

The cost of production is extremely high, the cost of transport is extremely high. The cost of storage and preservation is extremely high. And now, the cost of security has to be factored in again. Everything will continue to be on the upward rise.

Dig deeper. Get more people involved for trial. These are not all that is.

ElSudani:
If you know it is fake then don't take it.

I have seen some group of people that use the statement 'when the desirable is not available, the available becomes the desirable '. I think it applies here too. You can not deny me the fake milk.

ElSudani:
So, you just drink it knowing it is fake?

Even the original is fake it doesn't taste like the milk we use to have.

katordidi:
Your English too is fake. It's tasted

Yes. I just open my mouth wahhh.

Everything is fake. I have not tasted real milk for a long time now.

I guess it is Lalong that drew your attention to my post. I tried not to mention Lalong in the crisis in Mangu for sanity sake but you are quick to try to exonerate him makes my suspicion more valid.

Lalong used the military to stop congresses of the PDP in plateau state claiming coronavirus The governor was a victim of the harassment. The governor being from the same PDP getting close to the president was a threat to him. He had to run from ministerial position because he has nothing to offer. I am not a member of a political party but was caught is their political game. Politics has remain a game to these murderous elements that justify killings. I have not forgotten Killings in Naraguta Village under his and military supervision. So not mentioning him is for sanity sake because the crisis is not mine to solve.

I am not claiming to be right but speaking according to my understanding. So feel free to offer your ideas instead.

Saifullah01:
It might or might not be mining activities, but two things are certain. One, this crisis is more complicated than the way it is presented - simply muslm/Christian. Secondly someone or some group is benefitting from this crisis continuing. That's why the locals need to "get their heads out of their backsides" and see that this religious simplification of this conflict hasn't addressed it for over a decade now that it has been reoccurring, isn't it time to do a complex root cause analysis?

Your mentioning of Muslims siding with fulani attackers is exactly what am explaining above. These vilage cleansing attacks have been reported in Sokoto, Zamfara, Niger, Katsina etc most times on Muslim villages. In those areas above the narrative pushed is Hausa v Fulani. Cant you see that the sponsors of these attacks careless the religious leanings of their victims. Even though these areas might have complicated history of interactions between locals due to tribe or religion, this fact is being exploited rather than being the cause.

You guys need to think beyond social media and solve your problems

I pointed out above that the military was culprit IMO. But a vessel was used. The vessel has always been people engaging in religious wars and people who boldly claim they will repay one death of theirs with multiple killings and destructions. This doesn't mean Fulani people are involved. But they choose sides quickly if one of theirs fall during crime and are not willing to expose one of their own.

Jos should be boiling by now after the news of what transpired in Mangu but everyone is going about their business. No military, no curfew. So Mangu was a deliberate act. The governor exposed them to the president. They are not happy with that. They are trying to make sure it is a religious fight and they have succeeded. The only solution is for the two aggrieved religion to join hand and expose the sponsors. But this may never happen so the alternative is for government to provide work for people to keep them comfortable. You can not coerce a comfortable man into crime.

Saifullah01:
I have scoured the Internet on this mangu crisis and have found four videos trending targeting different audiences.

1. The video alleging a church being burnt

2. A man standing claiming to be CAN local chairman dishing out divisive rhetoric saying it is a Muslim Christian war and security is aiding Muslims to destroy Christian lives and property

3. A video of a mob streaming down a hill and a hausa voice claiming they are Christian youths chasing Muslims

4. A video of burning houses and security vehicles and a voice asking for prayers for Muslims over there and claiming security is aiding the Christian youths in destroying Muslim lives and property

All these conveniently targeting different groups to incite them against each other and divert the conversation which just some weeks ago was on mining as a source of insecurity to discussion of religious crisis

If you guys don't sense something fishy here and how sentiments are being stired up, then we are in for a serious trouble.

The targets of these videos are the local gullible and credulous population of unemployed Muslim and Christian youths who would share these videos to each other and turn on each other

I hope this gets to front page

Mangu case is not an issue of illegal miners. It is the effect of chosing sides. The Muslims chose side when murderous Fulani militia was intercepted in Mangu resulting to the death of some of them. They will always chose sides and make it a religious thing instead of exposing the culprit.
As for the military being behind the Muslim killers, I have something to say.

The military has always been a tool used by the then governor Simon Lalong.

I still remember what they did to me, PDP EXCOs, the governor and even police DPO when they were to conduct the congress in Mangu. THE PDP OWE ME FOR MY TRAVAILS IN THE ARMS OF THE SECTOR 8 SOLDIERS.

The Mangu saga was deliberate and created for the military to benefit from the crisis. Mangu has mixed religion like the Yoruba people. In a family, you would see Muslims and Christians and they would not contemplate fighting themselves.
So if you doubt military supervision of the killings, you are only being sentimental.

Recently, I have noticed strange faces in Plateau state which I suspect to be people fleeing from Abuja, Kidnappers.

I have tried to verify some of the vehicles of some faces I suspect but the details I am getting from FRSC appears to be different from the vehicle they are with.

I do not see reason why any one will drive vehicle with plate number of totally different vehicle if not for fraudulent purpose.

BlackfyreRebell:
Please advice me
My ex husband and I are divorced 2 years ago. He recently acquired an European citizenship, he also wants to extend the citizenship to our son. Though I thought it a good idea but I can't shake the feeling that he is trying to use that to take him away from me.
He told me our son will need to come over there to finish the process of his citizenship. But when I went to submit the "application" what I saw on it is different from what he told me. The paper read that I am consenting to my son to go and reunite with his father. Or is that the way they process it?
Please those that have gone through same should please come to my aid, this is my only child and I can't afford to lose my child this way.

If he is comfortable and Married, your concern should be what he wants with the boy. If his intentions are genuine, you should not hold the boy back. If he is of age you can ask of his opinion. Don't be afraid if you have not told the boy his father is evil.

BloomingDale:
Don’t mind those evil and foolish people. As if no be Fulani people we dey hear and see for those bushes.

Wike, you need your mafia. Don't take anything at face value.

overdrive:
What about airtel,etisalat and GLO ? Do I have to go to there separate outlets as well?

I don't have those. I can't confirm for now.

Peacfulmindset:
Please I need help. My SIM card of 7 years was blocked three days ago by MTN. The reason they gave was that my line was barred for not submitting my NIN.

I called their customer care number and I was asked to dial *996# and then follow the prompt to submit my NIN, which I did.

Two days after submitting my NIN, I'm still unable to make calls. Please I need help.

You need to go to an MTN outlet. The USSD or app submission won't work. The outlet will capture your thumb print and facial id for facial recognition. It is the new technology.

owiko:
Oil dey your head.
Some people may think you're trying to connect dots where there's none. They may have intensified their kidnapping activities in efforts to paint Wike as incompetent

That is why Wike needs to find out for himself and not try to play good southerner to these killers. He needs to act now.

Kukutente23:
Suddenly Zombies remember that Wike is a minister
Thought they said he's the 37th gov
Zombies nor just get head

Wike is not just a minister but FCT minister. FCT is treated as a state in the constitution. Wike makes budgets for FCT and act as the executive in FCT. Wike overseas the safety of the president and his family in FCT. Don't play with that position.

History555:
What is the job of nsa if wike has to brief the president

Wike is not a minister of a parastatal But a territory. It means he overseas the infrastructure and individuals wellbeing which includes security. Wike is still the first of contact regarding any security challenge within his territory. The NSA briefs the president and offer ideas on how to go about national challenges and not just FCT. the NSA doesn't command the Armed forces. The NSA is administrative just like Wike. I believe Wike being in charge of the territory means he has the privilege of overseeing the security architect of the FCT .

NaMe4:
LOL.

FCT minister is just an administrative head, and not directly in charge of the security of the nation's capital.

You have the NSA, DSS, Headquarters of the Armed forces, National Guard, na FCT minister you dey call?

The security architecture is complacent in my own opinion. It is wike we are talking about. I know he is an administrative head and doesn't command the armed forces. That is why he needs his own team now so that propagandists won't mess up his territory.

gratefulheart:
Wike created the terrorists?
Call out those who created them or is it labour party that's now terrorizing the Bwari and her environs?

If Wike created the terrorist, I will not be calling for Wike to handle the issue.
I am of the opinion that there is a deliberate act. The president will rely on the armed forces for Intel. But Wike needs to get his own Intel as Abuja is his domain now. He should not wait for the president to handle it. If the act is a conspiracy that involves any or all the armed forces, the president won't be briefed right. So he needs to get his own information ASAP.

SoNature:
Don't worry - Wike will rise to the occasion.

He's not some dummy minister.

When he starts, it will be brutal.

Wike is a man who knows the power he carries and how to use it.

The time is now for me. It is now or he will turn to a crying free man soon when non criminals see this as lucrative business. If that happens, he will never uncover the actual master plan.

Righthussle:
A whole President is there and you are talking about Wike.

Wike needs to brief the president to act. The plateau state governor briefed the president on what transpired in plateau state after he had gone to the affected places and the presidents directive was clear. Wike needs to do his investigation and brief the president on actuality of what is happening in Abuja and not rely on the old story of bandits. If he wants to be relevant nationally, he needs to act now that both religious and non religious people are victims of the insecurity in Abuja. so he needs a secret strategy that is different from the military and other armed forces that still call the perpetrators of the crimes bandits.

In one of his speech, Wike said he is now the governor of Abuja. He has forgotten his role as FCT minister and want to function as governor instead.

While he is on this, he is still putting much attention to rivers politics. This is a very big task and it is taking a toll on the people in Abuja.

Should we look at the insecurity in Abuja as deliberate because Abuja inhabitants voted majorly for the Labour Party?

Or should we consider it as laxity from Wike's divided attention?

It is time for the FCT minister to rise to the occasion and establish his ability to handle the nations security given he was a top contender for the seat of the president from PDP. He should either call the president for help or invite his own mafia to counter the mafia trying to rubbish his image in Abuja.

Many people are opposed to him being the FCT minister, so he should see the insecurity in Abuja as calculated and deliberate. He should open his ears to northern politics and maybe he might understand the motive of the terror in the nations capital.

This is not time for complacency. He should not because of political interest cage himself from doing what is right. The people will chose between following someone with good intentions and someone with power.

The time to prove his name is now. From FCT, he should command the north by making use of unusual tactics to expose the atrocities going on.

Pen down.

NwaAmaikpe:



They are not prophecies but permutations.
In the Bible, God got his prophets to prophesy at intervals, but in Nigeria, they are released only at the start of the year.

One person started it, others thought it was cool, copied it and it has now become a norm of Nigerian Christianity.
The same way one lady started shaving off her real eyebrows just to draw fake brows with colored pencils and other girls copied it and today, it as a fashion norm.

But what I don't understand is god's interest in premier league, APC, G5 and even impeachments; another thing I don't understand is why no one ever holds these pastors accountable when their permutations don't come to pass.

In the body of Christ, there is constant revelation of the future which may or may not occur. These revelations are often times warning and in some other times advice that when worked upon results to fulfillment or annulment of the revelations. It doesn't make it fake for not playing out as seen in revelations.
But revelations has been reduced to reading the Bible and giving meaning to the passage that appeals to you and confessing such words constantly in the name of faith. The actual revelation has been reduced to science definitions of memory due to rapid eyes movement,(REM) without science showing with proof an induced rapid eye movement.
While permutations of possible occurrences is not dismissible, saying such things as revelations not being real should be your personal opinion.

fergie001:
This court has consistently maintained that the issue of nomination or sponsorship of a candidate for an election is completely an exclusive prerogative of the political party.

So plateau case will be different because of a withdrawn court case.

garfield1:
Pdp were not serious so they threw it out

The aggrieved PDP candidates had already withdrawn the case from the court. It means the case is no longer existent. APC non existent case. None existent court order.

Tareq1105:
Don't mind 'thesolutions' he's more of a problem than solving any.

What I do.


The president has cut down on his aids for foreign trips and instructed all his heads of departmens/ministers do do same. He got praises from everyone including opposition. This is because he is inconveniencing himself. But when he brings policies that will inconvenience the masses for the benefit of the economy, he will become a wicked man. Selfish lots. I am still the only one offering solutions here.
