Thinkam: Pain me keh, I just want each political section to be realistic and not bank on the belief that everyone sees things as they do...
Competence and common sense don't win elections
That is better, let everyone vote wisely. I don't like seeing some tribal bigots, arrogant and prideful minded igbos/Obi supporters come on this space to attack Yorubas.
Abdu81: The south west christians, knows why Osinbajo was denied, they remembered the words of Murics, they are aware of the Lagos hajib tussle,they are still mourning the Owo mascre. The Muslim Muslim ticket favor them,didn't it?
They are fools aren't they?
February is not far oga chill.
Don't speak for the South West people. They will speak with their votes during Election in 2023.
Mstick: @Wallade you see how daft you're? I don't give a damn if you guys want to vote a chicken or a drug Baron to rule your region but you see this Nigeria? E no go HAPPEN!
Your Asiwaju sold Nigeria in 2015, but you see this 2023? It will not HAPPEN!
Call me IPOB because I know in your closeted mind everybody against the presidency of your shaky shaky daddy is and I accept that tag wholeheartedly but you see Rivers State like we did in 2015/2019 we will not reinforce your failure.
Vote whoever you want to vote and we would vote who we want to vote. You are just an idiot and that is why you have always failed politically.
All your South East vote plus the Rivers State vote that you are claiming, add it together. It will not get you victory. That is a guarantee!
You guys are so daft when it comes to politics. A common uneducated dustbin man from the North has more political sense than you guys.
Keep beating your chest there; you no pass where you dey. Idiot! You will die of hating the South West tribe.
You no get sense at all. Whoever employed you to do these e-campaign and internet attack and harassment on the South West has failed and you are going to further destroy their chances.
What is wrong with you? Castigating and antagonizing the South West will only get you failure. Ode!
Mstick: They feel supporting Tinubu will make their region better, after all Shettima said that's their plan. Food will be grown in the north and sent to Lagos for processing. We SS and SE can drink our oil.
I saw a thread where Tinubu supporters were happy saying Wike will work for Tinubu and I can't stop laughing.
Rivers State got one of the highest PVC registration this cycle and it wasn't because of Tinubu or Wike, I am part of the people that mobilized INEC to different locations, called, joined groups most of us even went to riverine areas on boats for this reason, why do you think we did that?
Is it for Atiku? Wike? Or Tinubu?
Even PDP members in Rivers State don't like wike for imposing a governorship candidate, and this clowns are happy that he will "work for Tinubu".
Rivers State Obidients will be hitting the streets soon, what you saw in Nassarawa is small.
We DON'T reinforce failure over here.
A man sold over 200 million people for his own personal ambition and you want us to support him.
Can you people just shut and stop this counterproductive approach. What is wrong with igbos and Obi supporters?
What are your fears? Leave the Yoruba tribe alone to vote their conscience.
Na you wan cast the vote for them. Wetin concern you if they vote a goat or ram or hen.
It is every man to his vote, sell your party or person if you wish but leave tribal bigotry and stereotypical views out. It will only affect you negatively.
Richy4: Good but they should check the clause very well.. The idea of someone accusing a player of sexual offences leading the player being suspended even when charges has not been made should not be entertained...
Just imagine our dear Salah being suspended of sexual harrassment by a mischief maker when we have crucial meeting with Man city... After City sends Liverpool to the cleaners, she returned with a little crocodile tears and say.. Oh!!sorry I mistook him for someone else... And we have lost 3 points
I can't support this push to punish an accused player for sex offence especially when the player hasn't been convicted.
What if the accusation turned out false or unprovable? The player would have been punished unjustly and mentally traumatized.
The ladies would take advantage of this clause and the ladies will become a weapon or tool used for political wars in the football world.
Mason Greenwood would have solved the challenge with Man Utd attack. He is a good right-winger and he is still being paid 100,000 pounds per week but he has been blacklisted and suspended by Man Utd since January 2022 yet his case has not been charged to court, maybe still under investigation.
Is Man Utd not suffering on the football pitch and world? The player is also stigmatized and traumatized.
Now we can imagine how corrupt this deceptive Mohammodu Buhari can be. If this PMB - APC government is investigated, we will discover that it is probably the most corrupt in our history.
The day you elect me, you have defeated poverty by 50%. Nigerian current situation, is like a person pouring water into a basket expecting it to get full. Nigeria is loosing 75% of the income it’s supposed to have.
If you defeat corruption, you have defeated extreme poverty in Nigeria. Because at every point in time, Nigeria has always had enough resources to end poverty in the country. @Pres_Adebayo
Truvelisback: Good day, fellas. If Tinubu offers u #50,000000 to endorse him as the President of Nigeria, will u reject it? Be sincere to urself Let's hear honest view.
There Is No Better Qualify Candidate To Lead Nigeria Than Peter Obi - Baba-Ahmed
No one among the other candidates is more suited to lead Nigeria than Peter Obi. No one has as much experience. - Yusuf Baba-Ahmed, vice-presidential candidate of the Labour party
These politicians can be annoying and arrogant. Why would you conclude that you are the only one that should be president, out of all the lot?
What makes you think you are better or the best of everyone? It is just selfish and entitlement mentality on display.
Medianna: No you're not a bad friend but a terrible one. The girl is even bold enough to ask you to officially date her but here you are trying to look like half a saint.. Coward!!!
The lady is only trying to hurt her ex-boyfriend by using the friend. The friend is just a pawn in the game of chess war against her ex. She still has unfinished scores to settle against the ex and she has chosen the friend as a weapon.
How can she visit me once and on the same day, I was able to fu..ck her. She suddenly started asking me to date her officially.
Come-on, only a fool will not know that she has a mission to make the ex jealous, angry with his friend, fight his friend and make him feel terrible.
I don't blame the friend for chopping the fruit but he must not date her officially nor stupidly fall in love like the idiot is confessing.
virginprincess: In my place if a woman commits adultery her children are likely to die.......that's what i heard don't know how true it is though have seen some cases that made me believe.
obamartins: Qatar Airlines already started taking only USD from Nigerian Customers and it is very expensive. The economy has collapsed. Everybody should brace for impact.
That is madness. CBN and Federal Government have to move against local transactions being done in forex within Nigeria.
kokaneprodigy: that your last paragraph is the issue. You’ll agree with me time is money.
Let me add that even some of these banks won’t sell to you.
The other day I wanted to change some pounds sterling to Naira at a commercial bank and the official of the bank rather referred me to the aboki roaming around the bank.
The sole purpose of a business is to survive and possibly grow. Nobody is investing in Nigeria to sympathize with the government it’s to make their returns and the government has failed in guaranteeing that.
The bank staff referred you to the aboki because he or she feels you will earn more on the exchange rate from black market than the official rate. If I were you, I would rather sell to aboki than the bank.
However, if I want to buy forex, I would rather buy from bank than the aboki because I will be buying dollar at about 420 naira instead of 709 naira.
I can tell you categorically that banks will never deprive you of forex if the demand is for trade and legitimate. They may only require you to buy in tranches depending on supply of forex on daily basis.
Again, I reiterate that Petroleum Marketing Companies, Manufacturing Companies and some others have high priority of bidding for dollars through CBN via Commercial Banks.
kokaneprodigy: However wrong this is, the onus is on CBN to enforce. But remember the vendor buys aviation fuel in dollars, and Naira has been very unstable lately.
You could buy aviation fuel when $1=600 then you sell it in Naira to airlines, only for you to want to restock and $1=710. That’s a huge loss.
I strongly agree with you that CBN should enforce vendors to trade in naira within Nigeria.
However, your analogy of the instability of naira as an excuse is only tenable if the vending company only source forex from black market.
I don't believe Petroleum Marketing Companies source forex from black market for business demands or imports of petroleum products in Nigeria. They are even given priority in bidding for forex through CBN via commercial banks. The official rate of forex in Nigeria is still relatively stable; it is about 420naira to a dollar currently.
The only flaw is the efficiency and turn-around-time of commercial banks and CBN at meeting the demand for forex of these legitimate business demands.
"Emirates did try to stem the losses by proposing to pay for fuel in Nigeria in Nairas, which would have at least reduced one element of our ongoing costs, however this request was denied by the supplier. This means that not only are Emirates' revenues accumulating, we also have to send hard currency into Nigeria to sustain our own operation."
Why would CBN allow a vendor to trade within Nigeria strictly in forex, without naira alternative, especially when the customer prefers to pay in naira?
This is part of the reasons the demand for dollars in black market is ridiculously high - insatiable desire for forex.
Toredola: I guess it was the primary election dollar rain that is shooting up the dollar rate now. They mopped up the whole dollars to pay delegates, thereby causing scarcity.
If it was only the primary election, the demand for dollars would have eased by now.
The main election is coming up in 2023 so they are mopping dollars up as usual to bribe and pervert the system and minds of electorates.
The politicians demand for dollars for anticipated spendings during election is also a factor to address.
helen5322: I just registered on Up Ghana forum..... looks like Seun is also the owner just that the site has more features than Nairaland
They simply bought the software program from the black market.
I don't think Seun wrote the program that was used to create nairaland too, he must have bought it on black market too hence, he could not copyright it. These "Up.Ghana" people bought same and just modified it a little.
Ochyes: Top 10 Countries Where Government Beg Citizens to Have More S*x
This might sound ridiculous, but do you know that there are countries where citizens are being begged by the government to have more s*x? Have a look at the s*x-starved nations.
There are few things more important than fertility in determining a nation's future viability.
Demographers suggest that a country needs a fertility rate of just over two children per woman to hit "replacement fertility" — the rate at which new births fill the spaces left behind by deaths.
But because of certain cultural and economic forces, only about half of the world's 224 countries currently hit replacement fertility.
For those that don't, encouraging people to have sex can involve strategies that range from highly explicit to downright bizarre.
I don't agree with you on India (one of the most populated countries in the world can't be begging citizens and residents to have more sex). India's population is over 1.3 billion people.
treesun: If you stop BDC, is government ready necessary to provide all the forex needed!
Please read my position well, I didn't say stop BDC. I said CBN and Commercial Banks should stop selling forex to them.
There area still other private sources they (BDCs) get forex. If you know how much forex are stored and kept in people's private houses, stores and chambers. You will marvel at it.
Ordinarily, wouldn't you sell your dollar to BDC rathers than sell to the commercial banks?
BDCs will still be operating in the black market but they will not be able to buy from CBN and Commercial Banks at 420 naira and almost immediately sell in black market at 710 naira. If that practice continues, dollar will soon hit 1,000 naira per dollar.
Understand the only things women really care about when it comes to men is; 1.What She Stands To Gain From Him. 2.Tools She Can Use AGAINST Him When The Need Arises!!
Don't you ever think that women will pity you or probably even love you more if she knows your problems! You will be there thinking she really cares until something happens and your relationship hits the edge, all your secrets will be let out for the world to see and your problems in her possesion will become an item of ridicle!
The only people who know about this to the indepth are woke men and married simps who have now learnt the very hard way after at least 5 years stuck with a demon in place of a wife!
This should also shed more light on why you should be very careful with what you text to females or post on your popular social media platforms especially whatsapp, because these biittches are quick to screenshot, and it is not for good reasons!
