Politics / Re: My Son Qualified To Be Edo Commissioner — Oshiomhole by Raiders: 4:33am On Dec 12
malali:
Your son might be qualified like many other people from Edo state are.

But your son is enjoying your political clout, there is nothing wrong with that.

But dont tell us your son got it only from his qualifications. There are 10,000 people more qualified than your son for that position in Edo state.
The question is if his son is qualified to be commissioner of health in Edo State. His son is very qualify. He is a Harvard school graduate. Also the appointment of commissioners is political so I don’t see anything wrong with the appointment

Politics / Re: CBN Sells Forex To BDCs At N1,251/$1as Naira regains strength by Raiders: 3:10am On Mar 26
Adolfnigeria:
it appears cardoso wants to go back to the days of subsidizing dollars.
Let's see, one day at a time.
yes. I believe they just trick Nigerians to devalue the naira from 700 to 1250. This new policy literally means that naira has been devalued to 1250 as the official rate and the CBN is no longer floating the naira but pegging the naira as 1250 because this is the same thing that previous government has been doing by determining the exchange rate

But remember the BDCs have already been forbidden from buying dollar at more than N1,400 so it's just eye-service that is unsustainable.
the government has officially devalued the naira from 700 to 1251.

Hohaiiiode:
bro no one need to hold an account in dollar in Nigerian to make payment in dollar for an international trade Or account in yuan in Nigeria to send money to China. Ofcourse there is work to be done to make it more flexible . I make transaction to other countries where I am.

And I don’t hold account in the receiving nations currency. I go to the bank and make the payment and specify the recipient currency and the swift code or interbank code or Abn or whatever it is called. Like I said there is work to be done.

no one should hodling foreign currencies in Nigerian banks . Haba. I am also guilty of this. I have a dorm account and ofcourse I have dollars in it. But there should be a better ways of doing things for the betterment of our nation. If dorm account should work, no one should cash out in dollar or pounds or any other foreign currency. Cash out its equivalence in naira . We can’t be praying for a better nation and doing things the same ways . Next shout be making different tax regimes and more flexible ofcourse according to work job and earnings .
what I am trying is we have had this policy before and it didn’t help the Naira. I remember sending money from US to Nigeria from 2013 to 2020 and all my receivers got paid in Naira. Yet the naira was still losing value so it’s not like it’s a new CBN policy. Some businesses in Nigeria needs dollars for their legitimate businesses, parents needs dollars to pay for their children school fees abroad. We have too much demand for dollars because WE ARE NOT PRODUCING ANYTHING as a nation. It’s simple economics 101. When the demand for a product is high, prices will go up. We need to start producing and reduce importation to help our currency. We can also get more foreign reserves from sales to other countries if we start producing goods

minimum wage in my state of residence California USA is $20 an hour. Some working as CNA in care homes in California gets paid about $25 an hour, 40 hours a week as a full time employee is about 25 X 40 hours: $1000 weekly and that’s about $4000 monthly. Taxes takes about 30 percent of that $4000 so someone works in a home care job makes about $3000 after taxes: That’s about 4.5 million naira monthly which I doubt you make every 4 years in Nigeria at your job

I just pray the rumors are true. We can’t keep doing things the same way. This will go along way to kill the black fx market. No same country allows that. Unauthorized currency merchants breeding sharp practices therefore enabling corrupt politicians . What the hell is dormicillary account. For few years outside Nigeria and traveling I have never heard of such. I can’t even exchange money without an 🆔 card and a limit set on exchanges.
do you know we have had this policy before and it didn’t help the Naira. The CBN is just clueless. There is also dormicillary account all over the world because US dollar is the international currency for trade. A Chinese supplier will not accept their currency or even our Naira for international trade and they have dormicillary accounts in dollars in china. The solution to help our currency is to reduce demand for dollars by manufacturing our own products and reducing importation to the minimum. We currently import everything and so there will be high demand for dollars which will increase the value of dollars against the naira

Throwback:
The next step is to outlaw forex processing for foreign education for a minimum of 10yrs.

Any Nigerian that wants to be educated abroad should look for the money abroad.

We have schools here that can take those huge amounts of Naira we employ to buy forex for UK or American or Canadian education.

We need to jump-start our tertiary education system with better infrastructure, improved quality of education, improved salaries, and improved school fees.

Tough times require tough measures.

just because your papa non get money to send you abroad to study doesn’t mean others should not be allowed to school abroad

Politics / Re: Wike's Loyalist, Chidi Amadi Resigns As Governor Fubara's Chief Of Staff by Raiders: 4:39am On Jan 11
Hezzyluv:
Chief of staff to a State governor like Rivers, is not an ordinary position. Is these Wike loyalists that are at the receiving end in this drama. Because, he (Wike) can't appoint them. And if he says he would give them contracts, all eyes on him.

Fubara will finish his first tenor plus, Rivers people are behind him and he might even win his 2rd tearm if life dey. so, na them lose.
yes, A chief of staff is more powerful and influential than a deputy governor in Nigeria politics and is a governor right hand man

Caveatemptor:
Fubara should be very very careful. He is surrounded by political land mines at almost every angle even though he is the executive governor.
Wike will always seek his pound of flesh for Fubara merely having the guts to look him in the eye.
Fubara should not relax and start snoring with all eyes closed.
In my opinion this is just a interlude before the real war to come.
yes o. the real war will start in 2027. Fubara needs to start getting ready for 2027. he needs to start putting his people in PDP party structure in Rivers state or he will end up like Ambode. I know Wike has not forgiven him and this is just a truce for the moment.

It will definitely continue later Fubara might just want to calm tensions for now so he concentrate on governance but am sure wike will come for his pound of flesh before Fubara's relection in 2027 that's definitely when the main political battle for the soul of rivers state will begin.
Fubara needs to start preparing for 2027 because thats when the real war will start. I know Wike dont forgive and forget. and they will want to give him the Ambode treatment in 2027.

I am voting against Sanwo-Olu because he's not a Lagosian. He's an Ondo man. I want true sons of Lagos to take possession of their heritage and eat of their inheritance. ...but most especially, I want migrant Yorubas to know their place in Lagos and learn to respect their host.
unfortunately, you guys are in the minority and don’t have enough votes to determine the governor of Lagos. Majority of people in Lagos are non indigenes from other states.

The North will pitch Tinubu and Osibanjo against each other and the both of them will cancel each other out, and then a northerner will be made president.

Also, I wonder why any sane person will support Tinubu. When will Nigerians ever have sense?
We don't want the North to rule. Tinubu is the only person in the south that have the support to win in both North and south. The south should support Tinubu so power can return to the south like you said. Our vote is for Tinubu because it's the turn of the south
Politics / Re: Sowore: Osinbajo Is As Dangerous As Buhari, Blabbing Up & Down Because Of 2023 by Raiders: 10:43am On Oct 11, 2021
SmartPolician:
In 2015 you guys literally said with Buhari manning security and Osibanjo taking charge of the economy that APC would present a better outcome.

Osibanjo and Buhari have failed Nigerians woefully. Osibanjo is part and parcel of this present administration and you people want to absolve him of his part in ruining this country.

Was it not Osibanjo that was personally sharing 10k bribe to market women in the run up to 2019 election?

This same short demon that did nothing while the economy is being raped right left front and center. The same man who stood aside while this administration get away with all sort of illegality.

Na thunder go fire any body wey open him or her mouth to either campaign for him or absolve him of his role in this government.

Just imagine Pence trying to dissociate himself from Trump's presidency. Let him go and camping and let us tell him what he did wrong. Joe Biden built his campaign on the back of the performance of Obama presidency. What is Osibanjo going campaign with?


Copied from dettolgel
I wish more Nigerians think like you. But deep down you and I know that the next president will be from APC or their evil cousins the PDP. They will vote for Atiku because it's the turn of the north or Osinbanjo/ Tinubu because it's the turn of the south. Nigerians are still not ready for good leadership and I don't think 2023 will be different.
