Doyou2019:


Lightning doesn't strike twice on the same spot. This is not 2015 or 2019, and Tinubu ain't Buhari.
Only a fool would think that Tinubu can pull a Buhari, with all that is going on in the country today. Only fools would!

When you watch recent activities, you remember lion of Bourdillon video, Buhari didn't go to school, Buhari is old and demented, SW is hoping that the VP will takeover from Buhari, Buhari is a Jihadist who will islamize Nigeria, Buhari is wicked for divorcing his wife....Yet Buhari has only few days to complete his tenure now.
Opposition is bereft of ideas. The only innovation they added is social media bullying.
I'm itching to see a sound party that will upstage APC. Sadly there's none.

It's amazing how history repeats itself. I see 2015 repeating itself, where PDP focused on slurs and personal attacks while APC was focused on issues. It's the evidence that opposition is not prepared for this election and BAT will likely win.
Fingers crossed.

Even young PDP spokes person Daniel Bwala erroneously said PDP will not win election before correcting himself. So it's a 70years old man that you want to scold for a "slip". Common. Opposition is not ready for this election.

Osho I agree with you. Except politics is no longer about interests... APC primary should have opened some people's eyes.
It will be a surprise if BAT doesn't win that election. Fingers crossed.

Stories. Did you watch BATs presentation? 'Underestimate Hope to your Peril'

Politics aside, democracy is really a blessing to Nigeria. I was privileged to visit many states before I left Nigeria and can say while we are not there yet, infrastructure is growing in Nigeria.

But this is my problem. Was that line necessary? While I can understand people who lie for a purpose, it beats me why some people will distort the truth without any value added to statement. You are just used to it!
Elections will come and go.

Treadway:
thanks for sharing. I do hope someone takes the bull by the horn. People/politicians have been falsifying documents for as long as I know, and most just fly by without question unnoticed or uncontested. Two former ministers forged NYSC certs and still somehow passed screening and got confirmed. That is for an organisation within the country, which you would expect would be easy to verify! Maybe something will come out of this, that failed to be actualised in 2003 for lack of exposure or clarity (as we are doing now). Time will tell. Who knows maybe the opposition failed to see the red flags that we have now spotted. Are you convinced a genuine letter from the US Consulate will be riddled with errors? I am not! Also do we know efforts that have been made to suppress and gag any further inquiry into this. Anyway, I noticed something significant and I am talking about it. I won't hold my breath that anyone will face consequences. No be naija we dey. Bubu became president without meeting the requirements (in my view).

Don't join politicians in politicking. The document was obtained by the greatest critic of the same man. So only them could have forged it if it was forged.
2nd a simple letter to US government or US Embassy in Nigeria to confirm if the document originated from them will not cost Dino, Bode George,Reno.....a penny.
3rdly. They should visit the court if a criminal issue is suspected.
I will not bother with politicking/ inuendos. Present facts and issues related to governance for discussion. That's what the citizens care about.
How is this different from Lion of Bourdillon video? Or Atiku is a Cameroonian? Or Buhari doesn't have a certificate? All politicking.

Treadway:
your position is understood, but I fear you are missing the point. I raised some issues with that letter, but to your question (the bolded), Tafa Balogun is dead, so it is quite convenient that this shows up NOW when dead men can tell no tales. Maybe some people in power can use this 'document' to get Tinubu now, only time will tell.

Also, I had not seen this document before recently when it started circulating online. Anyone with concrete PROOF that this document was available long before now, pls kindly share.

You see the problem? I've been seeing this document since 2005. I dare say that there is no election cycle where BAT is active that you don't see the accusations and this document as a counter. It is why many are surprised about the Noise. There is no issue raised about BAT this year that has not been raised by Bode George at least 3 times in the past; Including the CTC of the court order just being peddled.
Which is why one wonders why it will take forever for opposition to initiate a court process if they are convinced. Esp when Bode claim BAT sent him to jail. He should pay BAT back instead of disturbing public space.

The document was procured by the then ruling party, PDP, Tafa Balogun. Why will they forge to favor their enemy. In any case, opposition has written to CSU to confirm his school, has written to get a CTC of court papers, it won take anything to write the US Government to confirm the letter instead of SM accusation.
If there's substance in the drug case BAT would have been in court since Jan. Trust politicians.

Afenifere has been divided since the days of Bola Ige and Abraham Adesanya. Only kids won't know. Did Fasoranti support GEJ,ATIKU in previous elections? It was only Adebanjos clique that did that. No surprises.

Daniel Bwala mentioned civil forfeiture up to 3× in his interview with channels, thereby agreeing with Keyamo.... In any case, if this is criminal can we proceed to court and stop disturbing public peace.

Wow. Soludo get bad mouth Sha. "Building structures around things and not just saying I ...I...I". "You only keep money in the bank when you have no idea of what to invest in...not when your people are in poverty"
His disdain for bro Peter is Epic.
Only the deep can call unto the deep!

Tranquill:
Let them keep flogging a dead horse instead of accepting reality.

I thought these gibberish has ended since their supleme lender entered the zoo cage.

You are not from the 'so called South South' so why is that your problem? Why not let the people of the 'so called South South' complain about the 'divide and rule' that you claim?

If there is no South South in the four cardinal points of geography as y'all claim, why is there Middle East, Central America, North Central, Middle Belt etc

If South South did not exist and then was created by Nigerians, then Nigerians should be credited for being creative and giving a section of the country a sense of belonging from old bullies and oppressors.

Some people feel they should be allowed to dominate others while complaining that they are being dominated by other people.

The ship has sailed long ago and no going back!

Take this bottle of ice Odeku! You too bright!

Nahhhhh! I prefer Okowa tonight. He did a good job. He was original, honest and spoke to the issues without sounding political. Kola Abiola was a huge disappointment. He showed that he is well educated but ill prepared for presidency. He was asked how he will deal with situations, yet he is still simulating on if...if.....it depends on.... you will consider......The question is what will you do oga not what should a person in that situation do!
Kwakwanso and PO are really not prepared. They are banking on a bandwagon effect that will give them presidency. They have not individually considered most of the issues thrown at them.

Are those manufactured in Nigeria? That is what is called imported inflation. Inflation rate in the countries where those things are imported from is worse than Nigeria, compounded by our exchange rate crisis. Govt. should make the country a producing economy and we'll feel less of these.

Nothing new. They supported Jonathan and Atiku previously. Make your choice leave others to thiers. Politics is 4yrs cycle, hope religion will also be in 4years cycle according to you.

owobokiri:

As long as you are not plotting to inflict another disaster on me as the president, fair...

You have your say. Majority have the way. That's democracy. Be civil.

Breed them then. Must you buy them?

You see my problems with Nigeria and Nigerians. If it was Nigeria that slammed them $1.5b, you will hear "that will discourage FDI" like in the MTN case. How can someone commit a crime on your soil and pay the fine in another land. Bubu. Use this judgement to make the firm pay double the fine in Nigeria.
This has also exposed the oil bunkering bull crap from Nigerian Navy, IOCs, and NNPC. They are all involved.
Only God can save Nigeria.

Good perspective. It's thesame reason why you see USA panic whenever the Yuan depreciates. Coz the value is not in the exchange rate but in the purchasing power of that currency within its economy.
Make Nigeria productive (that citizens mostly buy what is produced locally), then you'll see that the you won't bother about exchange rate rather it is outsiders that will be bothered about it.

JoeNL22:

What interest will make Wike work for Tinubu in rivers?

Simply put: Patronage. An AA presidency makes him less of an opinion leader. BAT presidency retains his opinion leadership and gives him political patronage (from his followers and mates) which is the currency of opinion leaders.

I like as una dey underestimate Tinubu. So you think BAT will not get 25% of Rivers, Imo and Ebonyi? Okay o.... Make we dey watch. Except politics is no longer a game of interests.

Sammy07:



It is not necessary for the Finance Minister to know.

CBN powers, only the president can limit it a bit.

And e even get limit.

The only problem I have with the policy is uncertainty it throws into the market. It will excercebate the bad monetary indices already showing, at least in the short run. Other than that, I have not seen any weighty/constructive criticism of the policy.
But it doesn't make sense for Finance minister to say she doesn't know about it. That ministry is represented in MPC and also on the board of CBN. If she insists that she doesn't know, then there's probably more to the policy than meets the eye.

O Loud gan! Incoming!

Ventura1:
Do you think as an individual you'll see a BDC that'll change even $50k for cash supplied in naira? And everything will go to your BVN linked accounts, even with separate banks? Mr Man, go and sit down and learn

No mind him. It's only daily lodgement report he thinks CBN and EFCC monitor on an account.

Isokiscool:
Tanbuwa is never a betrayer,It's called politics and he has every right to make his choice...Abi na by force to support Wike?

Tambuwal betrayed ACN caucus in APC, supporting Dogara ahead of Gbaja after his tenure. He also betrayed Wike because party constitution zones presidency to the south.
If all these are considered politics, then accept Wike politics style too.

Governor Lamido should first give that advice to Tambuwal (serial betrayer). Everybody is watching the actors in the North too who only stand by truth when it's convenient.

Shell is stealing because you allowed. Masterclass collusion among state operators, IOCs and international community to benefit a few.
Bubu is also aware but looks away.

From my analysis, this is the last step needed by BAT. With Wike and Bubu coming out of their shells. No stopping BAT. It will be a surprise if he doesn't win.

I said it before. CAN cannot afford to be partisan except they don't have deep thinking leaders. It doesn't make sense for CAN to take a position on a political party/her choice; you are then begging for dissension as you have varied members with different leanings politically. That's implosion in the making.
Mention your interest but don't reduce yourself to commenting on political parties or tribe That's partisan and you will fail!
