You and these elections matter, if you have kids how will your kids buy things in school or you will open account for them so they make transfer to buy ice cream, biscuits and sweets. We should talk with sense. Advanced countries are still using cash

see, I rarely use hard naira to purchase stuffs. I buy must of my stuffs from the mall or supermarket and guess what, things are even cheaper for me there.
I buy a bottle of Trophy without going home with the bottle in a bar for 400naira, I get it for 350 with the bottle at my supermarket. I pay online

I advice you start doing more of transfers, if you want to buy foodstuffs, 20k daily is more enough. That's about 600k monthly.

This election must be free and fair, no matter the price we have to pay

Emmanuella00:
There'll be serious problem next week o

no problem, we will suffer a little so voter buyers don't get enough funds to spend

Parachoko:
When is having a credible Election part of CBN Aims and Objectives?

The way am looking at it, there will be a serious scarcity of the Naira if there is no extension.

Having a credible election should be the aim of the sitting president and if he needs the CBN to help him to that, he can. He has the constitutional rights to do so.

There will be no extension until after election. The policy is great for me, it's better I suffer for 1month than suffer for another 4years as a result of electing bad leadership.

This policy is the best way of reducing vote buying. It has to work

Parachoko:
I'm with the CBN on this issue, but there is no need to rush the policy

there's need to rush it. Else we will not have a credible election

oyin44:
Why we nigerians like suffering ourselves like this ....?

So, they are doing all this to expoit and chest us.why? This is an extremely wicked system..

nope, they are doing it to conduct a credible election

God1000:
The new naira notes are very scarce, especially the five and two hundred naira notes.

I know this may be a way preventing politicians from vote buying but it will hurt Nigerians most.

People are already throwing the old naira notes away

bear the brunt for just 1 month and get the right leader for another 4years. Don't be myopic.

You want to enjoy vaguely for 1 month and suffer well for another 4years. I don't know why Africans don't like to pay for good things to happen to them, they want everything on a platter of gold.
This is the reason why we refuse to improve anything, we can't pay the price for greatness.

chinchum:
But i believe you want Tinubu to lose. Why are you warning him?

Tinubu is a master strategist and he knows how best to play his game.

Tinubu is not a master strategist, he's a fortunate, corrupt and devilish person who plays money politics. It's why he's complaining about he CBN policies.
It Wil affect him

I think it should take effect and any form of relaxation about it should come after the elections.
It will go a long way, if not totally, to reduce vote buying and make the election much more free and fair.

I would rather suffer for it for just 1month and get the right person to become president instead of suffering for another 4 years.

The policy will seriously affect Tinubu and his cronies who have masterminded the act of vote buying.

Let's keep calm and trust Buhari on this one. I love the policy.

owobokiri:
Could it be that Emefieli who has been printing money for Buhari like a printing machine is worried that there's way too much money in circulation and might be using this policy to reign in on that?

printing money is not printing hard currency in the real sense.
Printing money is different

Please, I don't understand all these. All I just know it that there's no way it's not going to affect vote buying

yemmight:
You can imagine how egos worry Igbos a lot. The have not been in power they keep doing this. Wait for them to be in power. Tufiapa.

you that your tribe has ruled this country, how is your life better per capita than an average Igbo man.

The earlier you realize that this tribalism thing is a myopic way to see things, the better you can make a good parent.

Whoever is the president doesn't in anyway guarantee your success. It's that person that will impact everyone's life that matters

I am not an Atiku supporter but this achimugu isn't making sense anymore.

Bragalane:
Foolish Igbos never learn, the last time Tinubu called out Buhari about his plot at the APC primaries what happened.

You fooled don't understand Tinubu is a master tactician who understudied mistakes of both Awo n MKO.

Just imagine it was Osibanjo Buhari was playing with new naira n fuel scarcity will he have the balls to call him out like Tinubu did?

I am indeed proud to be associated with Tinubu, imagine Atiku arm twist OBJ to plead for second term, Diya prostrating to Al Mustapha n many others distasteful scene.

Buhari must think Tinubu is lily-livered due to his frail stature. He does not under Tinubu as his own Northern machinery not relying completely on just Buhari to win the election. Tinubu only need Buhari support to ensure his victory is resounding but time will tell Sha.

wait, will you die if you don't insult while making this point?

Tinubu thinks that he can fight with Buhari? That's a political suicide.
You abeokuta twice to talk down on Buhari, a man on which influence you want to ride on to get votes in the north.

Tinubu is so arrogant, this will cost him northern votes if care is not taken. Buhari doesn't want what happens at the primaries where money was used to get Tinubu the ticket to happen during the general election hence the stringent CBN policies.

Tinubu should better calm down because he has nothing to get in SS and SE, the only hope that he has is the north. If he falls out with buhari, then he's finished.

igbotormentor:
Because only the atmosphere of peace is where there is development, Tinubu is the only candidate without insecurity baggages, Peter Obi is coming with insecurity baggages and ESN gunmen activities he refused to condemn, if northerners started what Igbo did for buhari, will Nigeria survive another Biafra war?

APC government has the responsibility to solve the insecurity problem, they didn't. No to APC

Whose job is it to tackle insecurity in the last 8years?

jahsharon:
PDP didn't fix it for 16 years either. If PDP had fixed it, then APC will not need to fix it again.

Atikulation Abubakar, Peter Pandora Obituary and Kwakwanso were all together in PDP, and we're part of the PDP government, and they couldn't fix it.

Emilokan Tinubu is not holding any position in Buhari's government, so we cannot blame him for Buhari's failure, we can only say he sold Buhari to us.

Secondly, Emilokan Tinubu tried to solve Lagos electricity problem by bringing in a private electric generating company, but PDP government under Obasanjo and Atikulation frustrated the move

Both PDP and APC are a no no.
We cannot reinforce a party that has no long-term blueprint to solve problems. There's no continuity, we will try another parry

harqinhola:
Because the candidates are different . Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on the ballot

So why didn't Tinubu tell Buhari if he knows how to do it, so it will increase his chances of winning this election.

Do you think Obi will be in contest if APC had solved the refinery and electricity problems?

I just got back home from work, no electricity and no fuel to power my Gen.

See, my area in Lagos can barely boast of 24hours worth of electricity in a week and now there no fuel to power my generator. I am typing from a beer palour now where I have to uncomfortably seat to let my phone charge. I cannot come back home from work and rest in peace. Nawa o
APC cannot fix electricity for 8years, they cannot provide a refinery and they are not even apologizing.

Why should I even try to reinforce this failure?
This is so pathetic

Nlfpmod please

I'm shocked

This one just says whatever he likes

Music out

Even if he were alive, Otti will still beat him

Iykoto86:
whic party is alex otti in?

LP

DaniDani:
You are wasting your time, even before his death, Abia election 2023 is between Engr. Enyinnaya Nwafor NANA, and Prof Ibe Gregory.

lol, okay

rolams:
Tinubu can win Kwara but Kogi is not sure.

Obi can't win Abuja and plateau ooo.

Obi will not only win Abuja, he will win there with wide margin

There's no stopping Alex Otti now

Thesaint141:
Atiku has upper hand in North Central.

Niger state 80%

Nassarawa 75%

Benue 50%

Plateau 80%

Abuja 50%

Kogi 25%

Kwara 50% Saraki influence.

lol,
Atiku cannot win Abuja, Plateau, Benue, Nasarawa

rolams:
I don't think Tinubu can win ANY state in both the North East and West. North Central is not certain too.

No room for figure manipulation this time around.

He needs to work harder to get 25% to 30% percent. The Northern governors are not fully behind him. It's hard for them to leave their own son.

Atiku worked against the PDP in 2015 to ensure Buhari won. This is one of the things that the northerners are looking at.

The only northern govenor that seem to be with hm is El-Rufai and El-Rufai can only but guarantee him 25% in Kaduna, which he will mostly get from Northern Kaduna where Kwankwaso also has a stake.

Tinubu Will win kwara and most likely Kogi.

Peter Obi will win plateau, Benue, Abuja and maybe or maybe not Nasarawa

NgeneUkwenu:
Keep crying...😂😂😂

We will know who is crying soon

Many APC supporters are of the illusion that Buhari's influence will rub off on Tinubu and APC structure will help him win the core north. Nope, Atiku will benefit more from it because Buhari is not Tinubu. The fact that Buhari is not on the ballot makes it easy for Atiku to grind whoever APC fields. The introduction of BVAS also gives Atiku the edge in the core north.

All of the states in the core north that Atiku lost to Buhari, expect him to get double the percentage ls now and even triple in some states. There's no way majority of all Buhari's vote will automatically go to Tinubu especially in times when one cannot manipulate figures because of BVAS.

Atiku will win in northwest and Northeast. He's going to win landslide and might even get double the figure of whatever Tinubu is going to get. The only state I can guarantee you today that Tinubu will win in the core North is Borno (I don't know the issue this state has with Atiku and because of Shettima) and maybe Yobe but Atiku will get 25% in these states.

The only states Atiku might not win in the north are Kaduna, Kano, Yobe and Borno.
The game of vote buying that APC think that they want to play, Atiku and PDP also know that game. He already has the momentum, with little inducements, he will outperform Tinubu in the core north.

press9jatv:
you are 100% right here, you understand the game very well. I respect you more on this response. Pdp will really win cos’ they understand the game better. Even the so called G-5 Pdp governors will enable Pdp winning in all the elections next month. Pdp really planned well for this election in all what I’ve seen so far.

Even as an Obedient, I see this election between Obi and Atiku which Atiku being the favorite.

APC supporters are deluded to think that Tinubu has enough sagacity to be able to pull same volume of support that Buhar pulled in the north. He cannot.

All of the states will Atiku lost to Buhari in northeast and northwest, dxpdct him to get double percentage of what he got there in 2019. In Bauchi and Sokoto Atiku will get triple because of their already ingrained PDP structure, it will be a walkover for Atiku.
In Zamfara, Jigawa, Katsina, Kebbi, expect Atiku to get close to 40% or even more.
