It got to the supreme court and in February they threw out the case for lack of prosecution meaning the appeal judgment stands

Lack of prosecution. As in the PDP how.

garfield1:
Oga in oct 2022 the appeal court nullified that Congress long after pdp primaries were held.pdp is finished

you stopped at the appeal. What was the supreme court ruling.

garfield1:
No sir.pdp held two congresses.the first was nullified and were ordered to redo.the did the second in 5 lgas and it was still nullified and they never did again.it is not a pre election matter as a court judgment is involved.apc is asking the court to enforce that court order

The court injunction affected only the first congress. The second congress was conducted with the knowledge of INEC and the congress was approved by INEC. There was no second court order invalidating the congress so supreme court can not enforce a non existent court order. Mutfwang stays.

garfield1:
Whether ridiculous or not,the judgment stands and the apex court is bound by it.by the way the appeal court nullified the Congress based on evidence pdp brought showing that only partial Congress held and an injunction stopped it

The injunction that stopped it instructed PDP to conduct another congress which the government of Lalong tried everything to stop but failed. PDP conducted another congress that APC and INEC witnessed. That was why tribunal upheld the election of MUTFWANG. the only question posed was if Tribunal has the right to hear such pre election matters.
In the end, PDP is coming out victorious because they did held a congress that produced MUTFWANG.

garfield1:
The appeal court nullified that Congress

The appeal court did not debate that. The appeal court only acted on hearing that PDP disobeyed court order without further hearing and concluded hearing in 11 minutes. That is ridiculous don't you think.

garfield1:
Except muftwang

Mutfwang is not going anywhere. It has been established that another congress was help by the PDP for the governorship candidates that produced MUTFWANG. The supreme court will affirm that.
The governor stays.

New breeds of mindless youth is birthed. All they care about is what they can get from you.

LoveLeadsLand:
You made me shed tears with this comment because it's so true. The question that still remains to be answered is: who DESIGNED the country that way?

It started from 'my son has returned'. It is not a todays thing.

This is good

NuclearWinter:
Is it now you know how the international ursury syndicate operates ?

You borrow from those vipers and you lose your sovereignty.

They will dictate to your government henceforth .

The goal of the ursury club of vipers is to maximise misery, destitution and suffering.

Any agreement with them is like that between the devil their father.

As long as you worry about the state of things in this country, it is still our government even if you are in diaspora. We are in this together.

Your point on farming communities are spot on. In plateau state, most of the affected communities are farm hubs. Riyom, Mangu, Bokkos. While that will definitely cause food shortage and crisis, the plans of these people appears to be multifaceted as most of them are after solid minerals in those farm lands. It is not yet farming season.

The issue of borrowing is what I don't understand. The US will announce their debt in trillions to the world to make it appear that borrowing is normal. But those debt are in dollars and not in naira. They can easily mint dollars but Nigeria government finds it difficult to mint naira for development but for salaries.
The US will owe Nigeria in naira and pay them back in dollars because they can mint it when they want. But Nigeria can not pay it debt to the US in Naira for them to use it for trade in Nigeria. This is see finish. The jargon they call economics.

Since we are already on this path, the country will get it right if the government begin to take drastic action about FOREX. a central platform for a start. Then they control government spendings with foreign currency, limit foreign trips where they spend foreign currency, use the foreign currency to build industries and acquire equipments for both production and constructions and deliberately embark on building the country. They should not be afraid of minting naira to pay workers in these industries as long as they are productive.
They have use the term "government don't do business" to destroy every government establishment. Government don't do business imply only to profit oriented business. Government should own construction and production industries and engage citizens as workers and mint money to pay the workers very well as long they met terms of engagement. They should engage local contractors and mint money to pay them for work. People should work and be able to afford basic amenities. Then government can make use of the excess FOREX give room for import of things we can not produce.

But this can only happen in a dream because poverty is the only thing that makes African government powerful. I mean, where will they get the votes from if at least 50% of Nigerians becomes comfortable in the middle class.

NuclearWinter:
You started good by offering that FX holdings should be liberalised but ended up terribly by wanting centralising and wharehousing same FX under government control.


The only solution for Nigeria is to ditch the USD and the middlemen in the west and align immediately with the emerging BRIC economies



The current system only benefits the west because the west can print fiat currencies at a whip that isn't backed by anything.

My thought was limited to the problem at hand. The west kept advocating for devaluation of naira which the government shamelessly accepted. Now with just few dollars, the west can have anything in Africa.

The government had no intention of improving the lives of it citizens. So they will not contemplate joining BRIC. For what it's worth, I will rather advice on what will benefit the government and then simmer down to the ordinary citizens.

So government needs first end domiciliary account by Banks and create a universal platform for forex transactions.

On this platform, people can own accounts in foreign currencies and be able to receive cash gifts from families and friends and payments from organizations. After this is done, government can criminalize physical possession of foreign currency and bureau de change operators. By this, people with forex without evidence that they earned it or were gifted it are prosecuted according to the law criminalizing possession of forex. If it is not illegal deal, how else will they be in possession of such.

The united state has ceased alot of undeclared foreign currencies from Nigerians because of restrictions of government on forex transactions. This loss will be avoided.

This discovery of African greed is the beginning of our undoing. It becomes easy to get what you want if you can promise the focal persons el-dorado. So many government officials are point men and focal persons to these criminals because they are given dollars.

Those that resist faces threat to life or are killed by the beneficial government/governor.

Why are foreigners involved?
It is simple. Most of these resources are of no value to hungry Africans who had been program to work for food rather than for wealth. So Africans won't eat gold or silver or any other mineral resources found in his territory. So they labor for the foreigners who paid them a little token for their labour.
Some of these grew in wealth and wanted the little token for themselves so they mobilized and fund an armed group to eliminate competitor. Seeing this greed, the foreigners obliged to provide more arms on condition that they mine these resources themselves.
Having the tools, they were able to achieve more resources and discovered more precious stones and minerals that was not part of the bargain.

The more quiet the government keep about the true agenda of bandits and herdsmen and every other arm group, the longer this killing spree lasts. The militant group that sprang up in the NigerDelta was settled by the people that created them and they mellowed down because they are now in government and controls the resources. They mellowed down because of threat to the families and communities of the militant group. To some extent, the government did carry out it threat and went on a killing spree in one of the community just to pressure the militant to bow to the terms of the government.

But in the north the religion has been promoted to be the cause of agitation, it has become difficult for the armed groups to be granted amnesty. They were tagged repentant Boko Haram and bandits. Because the creator of that monster had the government. But the beneficiaries were not ready to relinquish the resources to the government which results to different groups of killers under the command of different political actors.

So these guns are not carried by foreigners but by our own blood.
The brothers we loved. The ones we defend. The ones we pray for and the ones we hoped succeeds.

The bias is the selfishness of Africans. They sold their brothers during slave trade. They can sell their community for any shiny thing that is offered by a foreigner. This bias is the reason why every black man is a suspect in a foreign land. They rob the good and serve the evil. They support the corrupt to lead and oppress the good. The good is regarded as a jew guy while the evil criminals are regarded as smart guys.

These resources have no value to an African except the government. But because government exist in Africa, they will rather destabilize the government if their stooge is not successful at the polls so as to continue their fleecing of the continent's resources without paying due benefits to the continent.
The new competition for control of these resources had resulted in coups is some African countries while bandits are funded with the help of some selfish political actors in Nigeria to destabilize any state with desired resources while spreading religious hatred. The president of United States did openly asked the Islamic communities to stop killing Christians. That is the level of conspiracy

Yes, many individuals have bought this religious crisis story and many islamist seems to be enjoying the killing spree as it favours their political dominance, but they are ignorant of it origin.

Daily, Christians and Moslems do their business without crisis. But once a killing spree was announced by any media, everyone picks sides instead of exposing the true enemy without bias.

I mean, Ebola came and is gone. Coronavirus was prescribed to be the key that will put dead bodies on the streets of Africa by Bill Gate but it seems that has passed too without them seeing Africans dropping dead. Now it is guns.

While the conspiracy Theory is suspected, it is obvious that the killings in Africa is sponsored not by Nigerians but foreigners with interest in the affected regions.

Solid minerals are found to be in most places where killings by unknown gunmen and bandits operated. It is worn religious regalia so the people finds it difficult to suspect their atrocities. I mean, the islamist seems to celebrate anything that champion their cause not minding that it is all a conspiracy to hijack resources in their region. The Christian folks are made to believe that they are victims of Islamic agenda. But these are all conspiracies by the criminals who are not ready to pay the government for the resources they are daily lifting from the continent.

Hmmm

lexylaw40:
nnpc has not borrowed money from any buyer ok. The Federal government borrowed not Nnpc and if so, there's always an agreement on how to pay back which is not as you've stated. I mean who does that. People payback little by little so that it does not affect there trading capital. Simple economics

Fela said Sorry. I mean it should be a good thing right?

lexylaw40:
the nnpc remains the sole importer of petrol into Nigeria and that's it. Any independent marketer that wants to do so are also free to import. But they will have to source for their own dollars at the official rate, which is the same rate nnpc is getting its dollars. Pls enough of all this conspiracy theories that holds no water. Its better if we can all work together for a better day

So from which bank is NNPC getting it dollars from. NNPC doesn't source for dollars. They sell our crude and use the proceeds to import fuel. As it stands now, NNPC has borrowed dollars from customers that buys crude oil from them. They are going to be supplying crude oil to the company free until they have completed the debt. What this means is there is no more dollars until they have cleared the debt. But you are still young to understand. You will grow up one day.
If some tell you that something you liked is not good, it doesn't not mean the person hates you. Try to ask others about that thing to have wider opinion.

abdeefggh:
Explain the systematic subsidy and let us know when and how they paid for it

The systemic subsidy is the systemic fraud in which only NNPC has the sole right to import PMS using foreign exchange earned from sales of products under their control. What this means is that they fixed their own exchange rate different from rates on the parallel market to keep the price fairly stable. They sell these forex to selected accomplice known as major marketers so it will appear that NNPC is not the sole importer of Petrol. By so doing, The government is shortchanged of the forex accrued from transactions carried out by NNPC. This is why it has become difficult for other marketers to import PMS at a landing cost of 95.7 cents (Approximately N1,080) and sell at 60 cent (N630) using rates from parallel market.

What this means is if Individuals are to import fuel and sell to the market, the price according to the current exchange rate would be between N1,200 to N1,300. If you are not seeing subsidy, it is not my fault.

Why are people not seeing any hope for the naira? It is simple. NNPC is sharing the forex they are earning for import of PMS creating forex drought for the government. The government on it own is mopping up available Forex from individuals making it difficult for people to take these forex to the bank. They will rather sell to the highest bidder outside the banking hall than let the government know that they have possession of forex. The government is not ready to cut it excesses and so the worst is yet to come. The cosmetics will soon wear off and the naked urgly face of the economy will be exposed. No one wants this. But this is the fact of how things are.

abdeefggh:
Federal government made it clear that they are not paying for subsidy and there is no budget for it.
Now to those who think there is still subsidy, i want to ask them if they are the ones paying for it

There is fuel subsidy. Until you understand why the prices of Diesel, Kerosene and cooking gas is higher than that of petrol, you won't understand the systemic subsidy.

And this is the first post of the year 2024.

I reject this on your behalf.

Giftedhand47:
I have a chronic anger problem I've tried not to get angry and overlook things but this demonic spirit will just do his thing
Pls help me i really need tips from Nairaland family.don't know I may get help here . Thanks

This anger issue you are complaining about might just be what has been keeping you all this while. Don't let go of it. You only need to control violence and not anger.

paramakina202:
Plateua people don grow some balls and made Fulani taste their own poison.

That is false news. There was no reprisal of any kind. The OP is a paid criminal attempting to justify the killings.

triple996:
A silent reprisal attack have taken place across the northern part of plateau state. The victims are all fulanis. What's disturbing about the report is that women and infant make up most of the numbers. It's so unfortunate how human lives have turned to sport in the country. President tinubu have a long way to go.
the major problem now is that the fulanis will come back to settle the score and the circle of violence continues

This a paid false information.

Update to criminals

Valerieee:
My dearest Nairalanders I need your help and advice.

A little background about myself. I am a young girl of 21. Studying at one of the prestigious universities in Nigeria and currently in 300L. Is it weird that I have zero to no social media presence like people of my age. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them Its been years I visited my Facebook and Instagram accounts, I find it boring and not interesting atall. I don't even have the apps on my phone anymore though I still have the passwords but zero urge to visit those sites. I still take pictures, infact I love taking pictures but I just store them in my google photos, no urge to share on social media at all. Sometimes I share on my Whatsapp status which has my family (Mom, Dad and siblings) alone as contacts. My roommate thinks am making a big mistake and may not get a good guy as a partner since I also rarely go out. I really wish I can change and post more or even become more active on social media but I just love my privacy and being anonymous.

Please those who are more experienced on these things should advice me, am I losing so much by being invisible Online? Offline I am very outgoing and have no problems communicating with people and friends but Online is something else.

So my Husband got a hamper this Holiday season and there was sweet corn inside of it. I was happy I wouldn't need to buy one to make fried rice.

Fast forward to when I stated cooking, something prompted me to check the container well since fake goods are trending and to my surprise, my sweet corn might be fake.

The word "Preservatives " isn't spelt correctly.

E dakun, what do you think?

Not Nigerian fake.
