Oswu rest, Tinubu don't need your inconsequential vote.

ijayalolo:
Another fallacy. I did not 'japaed' It's not everybody that is abroad that is a permanent resident there or a citizen. That's by the way

One fact I can give you though is that on the average in most months of the year I make in Nigeria more than whatever net I make outside, sometimes the other way round though

Only fools think they can outwork inflation: I guess all those farmers, remote workers, (AI trainers, high school and language teachers) not to talk of the REI are fools then. Shout out to Chidinma (a good friend from way back) who makes on the average of $2k a month by just teaching Igbo and English right from inside her room. I don't want to name other Tech colleagues who are raking in Dollars right there in the comfort of their rooms in Nigeria, or some more rugged street ones like us who don't mind to get dirty on the farms.

If you don't know how inflation works, we can go briefly into that too to let you know that you can "outwork" inflation

Don't you also have universities to go to in Nigeria? in fact before now, most universities were almost free and we were still complaining and comparing ourselves to those that are paying through their noses to get university education which is one of the reasons for the incessant strikes anyway. Since school fees are now in place, has any university gone on strike in the last 3 years?

I'm not preaching what I don't practice.



Thank you for your attention to this matter

In addition, the 36 States should also be dissolved, they are not necessary. Rather, the 774 Local government will choose what Region they want to belong to. States are not necessary in Regionalism

SalamRushdie:
How did North hold Nigeria ? Tell me which governor has has made money like Yoeuba Governor in Nigeria ..All this idea of trying to rally south for Tinubu needs to stop ? Tinubu has suffered both south And North equally

flokii:
Most Yorubas want restructuring.. that's the only way for the country to move forward.
The two tribes who don't want restructuring are the Igbos and Fulanis.. that's why they ganged up in NDC to make sure restructuring doesn't happen. You can even see one of them saying he is against State Policing, but they can sign unconstitutional Sharia law and Hisbah Police into law in their own States.

Yorubas and all the progressive tribes in South South & Middle Belt better wise up.. any silly mistake in 2027 may signal the beginning of the end for Nigeria.

Lanretoye:
shamelessly go and check the name list of people in jail all over the world and see who is doing more harm to our passport,i doubt there is a family from your side that doesnt have a representative there

BondRiv:
What pact did Tinubu have with Jonathan that he betrayed? The same Jonathan always visiting him in Aso Villa? Mtcheww.

Food4Thought:
He will win only by rigging the election which of course is what you mean.
You guys know very well that he is not doing well in the office.but you want him to continue.

FarahAideed:
If Atiku is greedy what is Tinubu ...Tinubu is a terrible human being..God forbid ..I a sure that man was a fuel attendant in Mobil

CodeTemplar:
I have no party but push for good governance. Obviously, your boss is a lost cause in that regard. I cabnot disagree with you.

The last time I was in Turkey, when I was travelling from Turkey to another country, Passengers were randomly searched.

I was among some of the Nigerians that were not searched while some Europeans got searched

In Thailand, they know the ethnic group soiling Nigerias name

PDJT:
- Lies from pit of hell. Nigerian travellers now face extra scrutiny even within Africa perhaps due to Tinubu's now established drug dealings in the USA.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
If power should rotate between North and South,it should be zoned to South East for equality and Atiku wouldn't have contested,if not everybody is allowed to contest,SW is not the only region in the south to keep representing the South

AMINDA:
So why did Tinubu gang up with the North to remove his Southern brother, Jonathan, from power?

WizardOfNG:
You guys and intellectual dishonesty. You make this illogical claim always about gang-up removal of GEJ. Did Jonathan not have a responsibility to Nigeria and the rotational system keeping our fragile peace?

Jonathan was a beneficiary of the death of Yar Adua that made him inherit the turn of the North. 💯% factual reality no Nigerian can deny.!!!

He had already spent 5 substantive years as President and insensitively wanted another 4 post 2015 (to make an unconstitutional 9 years as President) yet you guys continue to portray him a victim.

Do you not see Obi pledging to do only 4 years in office? Why? Because he is showing respect for power rotation Jonathan neglected.

if you think Jonathan did no wrong wishing to spend 9 years in power he inherited via the death of a Northerner, if the North fight back violently then who loses if not all of us? The likes of Tinubu should sit and watch GEJ plunge us into what could be violent crisis because of his own selfish and dishonorable ambition?

Atiku is doing same as GEJ and many Northerners are against him because they know we go into uncharted territory, especially against the politically powerful Yorubas, if rotation is truncated. If such happens, Yorubas no longer have any reason to believe in or work for Nigeria's progress. We simply face our SW and DAWN regional integration agenda fully.

The reality is that GEJ, though good at heart, showed selfishness by not being willing to sacrifice for the greater good and just give thanks for the providence God placed in his laps for 5 years in Aso Rock he never sought as Atiku, Buhari, Tinubu spent decades chasing.

It is the likes of Tinubu who planned meticulously locally, in Lagos, and nationally that saved our nation and democracy you portray a villain.

Whereas Jonathan who never planned to be President and would have been happy retiring as VP to Diepreye Alamieyeseigha became Governor due to the impeachment of his boss and then became VP to Yar Adua because OBJ wanted an unambitious and docile VP to Yar Adua.

OBJ wanted to control Yar Adua by proxy and did not want an over-ambitious VP for him as he had to deal with working with Atiku.

I just can't understand how some of you are so emotional. People like Tinubu are the real heroes behind our democracy because they are talented, brilliant, prepared and purposeful leaders.

You guys slept safely in your bed after 2015 election GEJ lost not knowing North had imported Fulanis from across Africa to start a bloodbath if GEJ would not hand over since the born-to-rule elements in the region were already fed up he had used 5 years of the slot of the North and wanted another 4.

It is bigotry preventing you recognising the importance of Tinubu and the moderate/progressive /sophisticated Yorubas and our crucial importance to Nigeria.

Had Tinubu not intervened, North was ready to change it violently for GEJ since they are addicted to power and feel five years of their slot GEJ enjoyed is enough for anyone honourable.

The SE too would have been up in arms if GEJ won in 2015 and the North were insisting he must leave because they considered the Jonathan Presidency an Igbo Presidency. Predictable violent confrontation.

I laugh at how prejudice prevents you guys appreciating Tinubu and Yorubas. If we leave, gain our own nation, commonsense and peace will no longer be sustained in Nigeria.

Rwanda-style genocide will follow. A case of you don't know the value of what you have (Tinubu and Yorubas) till it is gone. Jonathan is a decent man but he is not a brilliantly effective leader.

Brilliantly effective leaders do things, sometimes ugly, ordinary folks would not understand that allows us all sleep well at night to see another day.

Jonathan had to go when he did. Perhaps your understanding of Nigerian politics is not at the level to allow you note that.

gammarays:
They're just after their vested interest

Who remembered rotational presidency when they ganged to remove Jonathan to bring in Buhari?

tonesky:
Rotational presidency should end in Nigeria, it doesn't make sense if it will rotating between south west and North west.

Newsmills:
No need pushing political punishment narratives just to appear as if police is doing anything,the man is saying his mind so what is necessary now all Yoruba police officers should go and serve in their region likewise every other person's,nobody is longer interested in needless one Nigeria.

Mr Cardoso is Nigeria's greatest CBN Governor.

He literally saved Nigeria.

Osariemen12:
The least competent man to ever occupy that position since 1999. But trust me, Lagos - Ibadan expressway media will want to package him as the best.


Oh, Nigeria!

How Cardoso rewired Nigeria’s monetary architecture in three year

When Olayemi Cardoso assumed office as Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on September 22, 2023, the apex bank was operating in an environment marked by foreign exchange market distortions, weak monetary policy transmission, concerns over banking sector resilience, financial market inefficiencies and a loss of confidence in some aspects of the monetary system.

Three years on, the most significant feature of the Cardoso era is not a single policy or intervention, but the breadth of changes across Nigeria’s monetary and financial architecture.

The CBN under Cardoso has sought to reshape how the foreign exchange market functions, strengthen banks through recapitalisation, modernise the payments system, improve financial-market infrastructure, tighten consumer and financial-crime controls, and strengthen the country’s external buffers.

These reforms have attracted commendation from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and international recognition, including the Central Bank of the Year Award by Central Banking, London.

But the significance of the reforms goes beyond the accolades. The bigger question is whether the changes are sufficiently deep and durable to move Nigeria from repeated episodes of monetary instability towards a more predictable financial system capable of supporting investment, affordable credit and stronger economic growth.

Rebuilding the foundations of the banking system

One of the most important components of the reform programme has been the strengthening of the banking sector.

The CBN’s banking recapitalisation programme culminated on March 31, 2026, when 33 banks met the revised minimum capital requirements, raising approximately N4.65 trillion in fresh capital.

About 72.55 percent of the capital raised was sourced domestically, strengthening the capital base of Nigerian banks and increasing their capacity to absorb shocks and support economic activity.

The recapitalisation was not simply about increasing the amount of capital held by banks. It was also intended to strengthen the resilience of the financial system and ensure that banks have the balance-sheet capacity required to support a larger and more productive economy.

The CBN also introduced new governance requirements, including a succession framework for Domestic Systemically Important Banks in September 2025. The framework is designed to promote orderly succession of chief executives and strengthen governance and continuity in institutions whose failure or disruption could have wider implications for financial stability.

The Bank also approved the Bank of Industry’s Non-Interest Banking Window in February 2026, expanding the range of financing structures available within the financial system.

Together, these measures point to a broader objective: building a banking system that is better capitalised, better governed and capable of supporting a more diversified economy.
