Well, I have said this before, I'll say it again... When you vote BAT base on ethnicity and he wins, just know that, it has almost ended for the Yoruba race. Speaking as a Deltan, the South South will naturally now start supporting the South East. This is just the fact

He told his people not to meet the people from the East, that they don't matter during the primaries. Those supporting him from the south or east are actually supporting him for selfish interest. For equity sake, if we must save Nigeria first, then an Igbo presidency will calm the tension in the land

Even if we're going by Competence, he's not even close there...

Just dey play... They play

I'm still waiting for the presidential candidate that will boldly come out to say, he will stop running if any corruption case or whatsoever is brought against him

Till then, Peter Obi is still my candidate and I'm voting him with everything I have

We deserve better

God bless Nigeria

This is a welcome development. We hope they'll match their words with proportional actions

So, you can see how wicked some Nigerians are in a bid to destroy this policy. It's on record now that kidnapping has heavily reduced. And surely vote buying will be reduce to bearest minimum.

Sue the bastard hospital. This is the madness we're trying to curb. Let our economy go cashless. Some Nigerians are too dumb

From BVN to NIN, you won't see them registering on time on till the deadline. We're so adamant until we're pushed

The CBN is on the right cause. I pray they fight to the end

Why are the governors whom we know has hijacked the process of New Naira Notes swap still crying and showing fake love?

Let's wait and see after election...
I'm waiting for them to speak on the fuel scarcity that has lasted for over 5 months now

Well, marriage is certainly a thing to look at for, but one must be very careful, speaking as someone who believes marriage should be forever

First, I'll advice you to leave and be on your own if you still stay with your family

In addition, your mental health is important. Guide it with all jealousy.

Furthermore, don't lower your boxes on the type or kind of guy you want. Stick to your boxes, be prayerful and very sensitive. Surely, the right person will come

Peace!

Wafi... My pipu, for where, we nor dey Kari last na. Patapata, na draw!

Obi is the goal

Parachoko:
You dey live for Nigeria and you dey ask this kind question

You be 🤡🤡

You are just too use to a dysfunctional system, where individuals are higher than institutions. But luckily, to some extent, the instruments of the laws are there if you can use them appropriately

I have said this times without numbers

kingsways:
All these talk about changing and not changing, the point is that the average Nigerian no even get plenty money to change like that

It's politicians who have carted away large volumes of public money that are mostly affected

Very true

Geopex:
Nawa for u! The FG own the CBN and it was joined on the suit. Can CBN gov decide without getting directives from FG.

You clearly don't know the law. It's an institution created by Law and principles. For example, can the president stops the Nigerian Police Force not to arrest criminals?

JoeNL22:
You still don't understand.
Read below.

However, a senior lawyer, Professor Konyinsola Ajayi, yesterday, said the CBN was free to carry on with the cash swap policy, despite the court ruling. He stated that the CBN, not being a party before the Supreme Court, hence the court was not expected to grant an order against a person not before it; not sued or not heard.

He said, “The CBN is free to carry on with its policy on currency redesign taken in accordance with the plenitude of its powers under both the CBN Act and Currency Control Act. It is fitting to note that just about six weeks ago (on 02/12/22) the SCN held in the case of Adedeji & ors. v CBN that CBN is independent by law and can’t be controlled by FGN.”

The Prof is very much in point

Everyone should thread in the part of caution. Just ensure you really don't have old notes with you after today.

And watch how it goes...
Let's be wise

Parachoko:
I d expect much from a lowlife like you.

https://www.nairaland.com/7562126/new-naira-didnt-anticipate-challenges/4#120777973

Even CBN admit say there's challenges. It can be seen all over Nigeria that this policy was not planned well, but useless things like you no care about all the issue this failed policy have caused.

Well, I rather thread on the part of caution. Even the banks are cautious, talkless of you

Parachoko:
You're a dull 🤡🤡

Don't worry, keep your old notes. If CBN doesn't listen, I'll be here to console you. Though, you can deposityour money in the nearest CBN office

This is a very simple issue... I have been saying this for some days now. CBN or commerical banks weren't in the suit. So, nothing concern CBN who is a separate entity by Law. They've made a deadline. Even Supreme Court can't stop them. If you like yourself don't go and deposit your money in the bank. As it stands now, the deadline is today

FG can honor the suit while CBN carries out their own duties

CBN might suspend this deadline only out of good will. The Federal High Court has dealt with this matter before, except the judgement is been challenged by the governors

So, there's no confusion here. CBN deadline still stands, otherwise, communication will be made by the CBN

.Nobody is saying igbo shouldn't be President it only depends on how they play their game Politically . U can't claim Nigeria is a Zoo and expect people to be happy with u. Igbo play victim card too much and they play Politics of hate and abuse, curse people who doesn't support Obi now they are spreading the hate on religion line like saying YORUBA MUSLIM .

Every part of NIGERIA is agitating, even the region I came from and yet, we became President and Vice. What is the cause of the agitation in the first place?

There's nothing like they don't know how to play politics. In 1999, it was unanimously agreed that a Yoruba man should lead the country after disallowing Abiola to calm the drum beat of the war as at that time. Only Yorubas were given tickets by the popular political parties. Then, in 2007, only northerners were given tickets by the popular parties and so on. Infact, same happened in 2015 and 2019. Which party didn't feed a northern candidate due to the agitation that Yaradua didn't complete his tenure?

So, when talking about fairness and equity, don't be economical with the truth. Be factual and realistic. Those eastern politicians not supporting Obi are only being selfish and wicked, beating the drum of war for the rest of us. Go read popular opinion of most Elites and understand the implications of not allowing an easterner to be president

You can't beat a baby and says the baby should not cry
I'm not an easterner, I'm a Nigerian who's on the part of justice, equity and fairness

God bless Nigeria

Funny enough, Obi is the most attacked Presidential candidate, yet, he doesn't even give a Damm.

Most candidates have insulted him in one way or the other. Infact BAT doesn't joke with the name... His reply has always be epic. He looks for every opportunity to sell himself to the masses who are the real owners of NIGERIA

Whether we vote for him or not, he's already made

kingsways:
You can't tell a Christian not to go to Church unless you are now an agent of the devil

Tinubu and Atiku go Mosque, and no one said they should stop. Tinubu has held meetings with Islamic teachers in several towns he has been to and no one complained

Infact, few days ago, Atiku was called to open a mosque built in Sokoto it so.

Obi is a proud Christian. He doesn't fake it. He's a dedicated Catholic. He's elder brother a Reverend Father and his elder sister a Reverend Sister. This is to tell you how rooted he is. No wonder he never stole in all capacity he acted. None of the good trait can be traced to any other popular candidates. Let them show us one

[quote author=babyfaceafrica post=120778200][/quote]How we they answer questions not meant for them? They're not even part of the suit cos The Federal High court has already ruled in their favour previously on the matter.

They're only halting out of goodwill. They never breached any law as regarding to the printing and distributing of the new notes

Zulum500:
They must halt .. we keep spending our naira note

You don't get it... Over 80% of the old notes is collected already. CBN has the old notes already, especially the #1,000 note.

CBN has also stated that each state of their branches will still be collecting the money. I'm very certain that after 15th CBN won't shift the deadline

daygee12:
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
