Ask ur Father when u get to Anambra, ire oooo

Answer the question. Lagos wasn't even part of the new NIGERIA. It was founded by the Binis.

Lagos was later merged.

Furthermore, the issue of SUG... Is there a rule that a non Yoruba can't be an SUG president? If you're non of Igbo, then play your game very well. All the Igbos in Lagos that won political seats all played their game so well. I wasn't a Yoruba guy, but contested again one in my days in school and won. What if I didn't contest, will I be hand-picked? Leadership is not given...

In addition, Charlie boy having a bus stop in Lagos meaning he paid his dues. He excelled in his trade and made impact to warrant every accolades he got. If you go round all the Eastern street, you might still see Yoruba names popping up due to the dues those people paid in active service to their respective communities. An Igbo takes his home with him wherever he his. He built, establishes there. Apart of the Igbos, how many develope the societies they are when they're not in their own land?

Funny enough, people will think I'm an Igbo person, no, I'm not. But wherever I go, I see the Igbos, I see the development they bring to the community of their stay.

For me,the Igbos are the most patriotic. They've also not played politics of region like others do for almost 24yrs of NIGERIA unwavering democracy. They've never be Vice President, They've never be President. The two Apex position in the country, yet on paper, they're part of the Igbo major tribe and ethnicity. They've always supported the aspirations of others and other tribes from OBJ, through Yar'adua to GEJ and even Atiku, they've supported the Nigerian project

For equity sake, the Igbo man should be allowed to rule if we're truly one and not one selfish man saying it is his turn when your own region have been President and even Vice. It's total wickedness

Now back to the objection of Area Fada... He he out of point with his observations? The answer is no. Yorubas exist in every part of the country, doing their own thing, infact, in Warri and Port, their are places you think it's owned by the yorubas. I once worked in a company, if you're not Yoruba, you might not get a job there in PH. So, if you kill another tribe in your land, what about your tribe in their land or other lands? We see and hear this countless times, and nothing has been done. The Obi of Lagos sometime ago made the callous statement against an ethnic group, nothing was done. Just of recent, the wife of the APC presidential candidate said same thing, nothing was done. So, how many other tribes and states have threatened the yorubas living in their land every election year? How many?

Inconclusively, nobody has the Monopoly of voilence. Leaders should be careful of what they say in this dire time of our existence. The pressure and tension are high. Let's be careful with our utterances

Let's let love flows and rules

A great country is possible
God bless Nigeria

N3TRAL:
Only beer palour, illiterate, and unlearned analysts even assumed that the F.G will not honour the interlocutory decision of the Supreme Court.

When the Supreme Court of Nigeria makes a decision, the only authority that can upturn it is "God in heaven". There are courts and there is the SUPREME COURT. The decision of the Supreme Court is final as in

F
I
N
A
L

Powerful figures in democracies across the world influence the compositions of the Supreme Court to get their way because they know that the decision of the Supreme Court is final whether in America or anywhere.

The first thing Buhari did as a prelude to 2019 polls was to remove the CJN whom he couldn't trust. Last year, a "Yoruba Muslim" CJN was appointed.

Una think say the Presidential elections of Africa's most populous country na to insult una papa and mama for social media?

Nobody talked about FG, what is in the contention is CBN. CBN can still go on with their policies if they wanted to cos they're not even part of the suit in the first place. Another school of thought is, placing them in the suit will also ridicule the Supreme Court cos the CBN is an entity on it's own acting under an existing law

FBS:
So this whole exercise and policy is/was to prevent politicians from buying votes?

I rest my case.

The CBN even with any court order won't pump still money into the economy for the now. They withdrawn almost all the old notes, say, 80%. Pumping of the money who have been done systematically.

The CBN didn't also stop the deadline of old cash return. The deadline was for the returning of the old cash to commercial banks. But if you can't return any money to the commercial bank before 10th, then you can always return it to any of their State offices. The Central Bank will always collect the old notes from you and perhaps give you the new note equivalent.

So, as usual, the banks is sabotaging the efforts via politicians. Even you check, majority of politicians crying fouls here are the ruling party

Beside, Supreme Court can't order CBN. It's an entity operating under a law. They can only do that when they breach any law, reason they're not part of the suit. So, the issue is actually between the governors and the presidency. Suing the CBN for the Naira policy is also like suing a police man reporting to the station in carrying out his required duties. The CBN actually gave 100days to the commercial banks. Every other issues here is pure politics

muykem:
I watch it live. He is talking nonsense. supreme court order is final in the land except we are inviting anarchy.

You better go and change your old notes. I've been saying this since yesterday that the Supreme Court has no right against the CBN policies. The order is meant for the FG and not CBN, who's not even a party to the suit

This is highly condemnable. Putting someone's image on a poster without his consent is wrong. Whoever did this should tender an apology

I support Obi, he's my candidate, but this must be done in the right way

Ttooyy12345:
U sound like u live in an urban city. Well more than half of the local governments in Nigeria dont have banks and no presence of network provider. So get small sense

So, how did APC govt share their so-called #5,000 and #10,000 social scheme program for the most vulnerable?

searchng4love:
It is CBN fault.

How? Tell us how?

POV: INEC had 4yrs to bring out a solution to this reoccurrence, uptill now, nothing has been done

I will recommend in all fairness that INEC make use of transportation companies like GIGM, Agofure, Uber, Taxify, Bolts and other well recognized transport companies and not a state government agency who has an interest in the same election in all categories

byteem:
Actually the Nigerian president is more than king he is the most powerful president is any democracy across the world.. thanks to your 1999 constitution .. he can issue an executive order to stop it..constitution give him that power.. but its not necessary in this case.. the injunction by supreme court is dead dead ab initio cos it was issued against FG and Not CBN.. CBN is the entity implementing the policy and any suit in that regards should commence at fedhigh court and should be against CBN not Fg the ruling is not binding on CBN.. the policy stands .. checkmate..they celebrated too early .. law is an ass..

Following sir... Very educating

Putinofrussia:
Your ignorance stinks,sir.

I just asked you... How many Court ruling or orders has he followed and what did you say when he didn't follow those orders?

This is why we continue to be in the part of justice. Injustice somewhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Putinofrussia:
Dont mind those illiterates.Buhari has issued a lot of executive orders that the governors did not follow and the heaven did not fall.
Supreme Court is the highest law in any nation of the world.If the president goes against it then the governors will continue spending the money in their various states which is lawful.
The international world will take Buhari as a rogue president if he does that.Then there will be anarchy..

How many Court ruling has PMB followed. The presidential order according to the Constitution supercede that of the Supreme Court. Please, we're here to educate and to be educated too

Don't bring your ignorance to the public due to election or whatever. By next month, election would be a thing of the past

FBS:
So are the banks against this policy or benefitting from it?

The banks has shareholders who have interest in the new policies as it relates to election and buying votes

CBN and any other government agencies must serve the masses. Money must flow!

Is money not flowing? Throughout this week, I've not bought airtime via paper but bank transfer. Buying fuel, POS, for groceries, enter the mall and use your 🏧.

The little cash at hand you need for this few period is also available in the #100 notes which isn't affected by the policies. I have close to #1000 on me now and all are #50 and #100

What about the money the CBN gave banks and they sold it out, diverted some and the politicians hijacked the others. Sterling bank in Abuja kept and refuse to give out over #200m given to them. Is that CBN's fault too

plaindealer:
See, CSOs are supposed to be on the side of the people and the only people that are suffering right now are the same people they love to claim as their driving force for change and good governance so why are they now not in ending the sufferings the general public is going through.?

I'm I missing something here?

Even if your intentions are genuine and you'd love to deal with election riggers, but the election riggers are not suffering, they are not the average Nigerians shouting and protesting, lining up and fighting in bank halls, lining up for endless hours in front of ATMs?

I'd understand if their are enough new notes out their and the ATMs are dispensing the new notes, but such is not the case so why exactly do you want Nigerians to keep suffering all because of politics?

Shouldn't your fight be against the CBN that got us into this mess to start with? Is it the CBN's fault this this policy is poorly and incompetently managed?

Even the CBN's deadly remains unsustainable and unrealistic, it just can not be done at the moment so isn't it prudent to adjust and prevent mass sufferings and economic collapse?

This is a sad refection of the typical fraudulent Nigerian mentality, they are out there shouting and wailing that Nigerians are suffering because of the new note, they are showing us pictures and videos of disasters in banking halls, bit the same Nigerians want their suffering to continue because in their misguided mind, they are hurting the politicians when in fact the politicians have access to the new notes that they don't have.

Well, they CSO crowd are part of our political system and a reelection of our cash and carry fake patriotism.

Please, can you State two reasons why you said the CBN deadline is unrealistic?

demoBaba:
Why can't Mr. President bring all this when he wanted to contest in 2019....

Oga, according to law, those currencies were due for change/redesign.

PMB during his ruling in the military regime also changed the currency. We've always change currencies... Get your fact right and bring up points that people will benefit from

Peace

Money must flow

Which of the money? Are you talking about the over #3tr printed, yet, only #500b where in circulation? So, where did the other #2.5tr enter if not in the houses of politicians.

Well, in this fight, if the CBN loses, Nigerians will be the biggest losers as politicians will always be politicians. Only what favours them is what they do. Nothing more or less

Rubbish. Go to court.

We're in this mess together
Injustice somewhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Peace!

This is just the way to go.

The CBN never acted against the law. This policy is in accordance to the establishment of CBN. Over 90days were given to banks to sort themselves

ASUU were on strike for over 8months, medical practitioners trooping out of the country on daily basis, fuel scarcity of over 6months, killings with impunity everyday, yet, no governor took it to Supreme Court. Our problem is now Naira notes abi? Jokers

The Supreme Court ruling can only stand when there's a breach in the Constitution as it relates to the Cash redesign policy, otherwise, the ruling is arrogant and disrespectful to the CBN, president and the citizenry

Nigerains are just the biggest losers here. Slaves that loves their chains.

We deserve better
Peace

onuman:
Well, not most of Yoruba hate Igbo. The well educated Yorubas (ability to speak and write good in English language does not mean that one is well educated) don't hate Igbo.
After all, Tinubu knows that rotation of the presidency between the north and the south has been it since 1999, and that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a president for Nigeria. Yet Tinubu demonstrates hatefilled against the Igbo as he declared "it's my turn" to become president. Tinubu is one of the few badly educated Yoruba who speak and write good in English language.

Thank you for this submission. Well, it's always going to be the turn of the south again in the future, and the yorubas keeping quiet now, thinking their selfish brother is doing the right thing will remember history, especially when the South East and South South team up... I'm from Delta, only negligible few supports the PDP candidate, because we know it's the turn of the South and this time around, an easterner who happens to be the best amongst all. Ordinarily, because the VP for the PDP is my governor, I would've supported him, but he's selfish and wicked to even agree to the position of the VP after an agreement by the Southern governors.

This phase will be over very soon...
Peace!

lhordspy:
Few days ago, one of them in a bid to malign Tinubu and extend it unto the entire Yoruba race, called MKO Abiola a druglord. Just yesterday another senseless one dragged Fela name into the mud, tagged the sacred historical shrine; a local place. Bunch of failed kids without home training. They can hate, insult and abuse us.

But what I know for sure is that no one, I repeat no one: Can sow IPOB, and reap ASO ROCK

The set of people who called our country a zoo, will never be rewarded for their hate towards this great country.

Did any of the aspirant riped out poverty in their various state, if we are to talk about competence? I still ask, What are BAT's track records, the only answer is masterplan. The master plan of s once Nigeria's capital for over 40yrs. The master plan that had no state owned airport, sea port, even a good stadium? Master plan with few roads, where major roads are constructed and maintained by FG?

Hope you can keep up with this for a long time when it's the turn of south again?

I'm not from the South East, but, I just hope you can sustain this when it's the turn of the south again

Peace!

FatherOfJesus:
lol, they think they can deceive us.

Like we were not in Lagos when BAT was governor. He's the worst governor of lagos ever

I wonder when I hear the master plan. Ambode only served for 4yrs, we're still feeling his impact. Never borrowed any money and never left any debt for the state, yet, he was kicked out for selfish interest.

The way Ambode handled the traffic is very excellent.

siofra:
I wonder why a guy will not marry a girl who has a past like this. Like that's her past and you are her future and that's all that matters, dude😒😒😒

If I was a guy, I would even be happy to have a girl like this, it means she has experience and won't be a bore.

How sincere is her changed and Reformation? Even though the past matters, it shouldn't be used as a means of judgement, especially, if the person is sincerely dealing with her past and you're seeing signs, I mean, significant change

Healthquest:
eko Atlantic started during his time what den do we need?

A visionary leader you all clamored for but because he is not wearing your tribe now is not good...you find all means to derail him.
Track record n Competency, ASIWAJU has it for me, its unfortunate he is coming under APC ,regardless,I'll vote for him alone.

NB:As you go to vote in 2023, remember PETER OBI could not pay N18,000 minimum wage.

Vote wisely

Is this place made for the common man or the same 2% selected few? Ooooooohhhhh, I forgot, you already have an apartment there.

When Obi drew over 50% employment to his state, constructing over 800km of roads, completing and upgrading over 10 hospitals and taking Education from 20 something to number 1... Today, Lagos states has a debt of over 1tr Naira while they generate over 700b Naira annually, should tell you something is definitely wrong with this state. The looting here is insane. And there's a state who saves and also invest. A state not taxing her poor people with force and criminals, but finding a systematic ways around it

I can tell you Anambra state has state owned infrastructure than Lagos State. Most infrastructure here are owned by FG

FatherOfJesus:
We can see what Fashola did, he build a world class transport BRT system.

Ambode came, built another world class BRT system from Oshodi to Abuke egba with a world class terminal as oshodi.
Samwolu, Fashola and Ambode together started and completed the Lagos Blue line with world class stations.


What is that world class project we can attribute to Tinubu in Lagos?

If anyone can show me any world class infrastructural project that Tinubu started and completed as a governor without having to link anyone to Sanwolu, Ambode or Fashola, I will vote for Tinubu.

I will start campaigning for him henceforth.

Note: Please world class project doesn't include buidling few roads. Show me a project that is not usual in Nigeria

He built master plan
Lagos State had one of the least roads in Nigeria. Majority of the roads are constructed and owned by FG. No state owned airport. No even good stadiums, where Delta has two domestic airports, and over ten(5) classic stadiums. Someone will come here and start shouting BAT

nameo:
The Mods delected an already active thread that was even already on frontpage on this Stears polls without explanation.

@seun, immediately after the elections, many of us will decide whether it makes sense to keep coming to this forum or not.

Exactly...

Nigerains are becoming sensitive... We can no longer be deceived

Even the north has very low registration indices this time around due to the various digitalized system and we shouldn't also forget BIVAS is on it way. If you note, APC as a party is against the BIVAS. The only northern state with the highest registered voters is Kano and it's not upto 4m. Infact many northern states were below 2m registered voters, while the east has only 1 state below 2m which is Ebonyi, all the south south states apart from Bayelsa, all have above 2m registered voters. Even Lagos recorded the highest of about 7m registered voters. So, the North will not find it easy this time around. And if the north doesn't concede to the South this time around, it will really hurt them in subsequent election. The south is really waking up in terms of political involvements. This is not party as usual

Never you start any business with loan. The idea is big, yes, we know, but you must start small to understand the rudiments of the business.

Start small, think big and then grow
Life is in stages and faces...

Considering the population a bank serves, six million naira is not a lot of money, but every kobo matters at this point in time. The branch manager should be dealt with. They are our biggest problem now.

6m to disburse via ATM weekly isn't bad. We love too much cash in this country. I say this constantly, you don't need more than 5k as cash weekly. You can transfer, even buy airtime with your bank and other apps. 6m is just for a bank and there are over 20 banks in Ado Ekiti. Just imagine if all of them loaded their ATM machines. None of us will be complaining

They should sanction the bastards ASAP

Nigerains deserves better

A new Nigeria is possible

1k collect 5k and 2K collect 10k for those that even have cash

"Unintelligent person"
That is what same Nollywood you are trying to famz; dismissed you as.

Just as they tagged you, giving you a befitting adjective. You are still ignorantly trying to justify the 'tag' by acting like you can't comprehend the simple 'rejection message' passed across. That was an insult from the Nollywood guild not compliment. Mr man

How can you be expecting people who tagged you 'unintelligent' , still unintelligently vote for you?

You are truly 'unintelligent' , Mr Pandora.

For the records, Obi's son is in the Hollywood industry. When people like Obi are speaking, someone like the Kadunna state governor listens.

We like been entertained. We've so much suffered in the APC government, so, we need some fresh air, and Nollywood is one institution that can help in that regards
