So yet again, The United State has failed again to elect a woman as her president

Is there a moral duty to elect women or what is your point?

How does 50 times 3 give you 250 plus? People actually liked your post too.

Good night

You won't shut up? Get away before I change my mind.

Olalekanbanky1:


Shut up? Must you advertise your illiteracy and immaturity everywhere?

I said shut up!

Olalekanbanky1:
As an anti-corruption boss, who knows if the guy actually blackmailed those people into consented s£x, for pardon

Including his brother's wife and the president's sister? Shut up abeg.

When you tell us about the plans to generate electricity, do well to tell us the source of energy. Electricity is an energy that comes from a source and doesn't come through the powers of wishful thinking.

Gas obviously.

CrossRhodes:

ALL?

really?

Doesn't my use of the word "tend" serve to modify the obvious hyperbole there?

In Nigeria, all our goalkeepers tend to be good with their feet because most Nigerians only become goalkeepers very late in their careers, when it's clear they won't make it in other positions. Even Nwabali used to be an outfield player.

phineas:


Then you don't know Nigeria, the higher proportion of dollar in Nigeria is not even in the official system, and majority of Nigerians access dollar needs through these unofficial sources. That's where the problem is,it's artificial scarcity due to individuals deliberately hoarding available dollars sometimes to make the dollar rate go high. There's data by the way that says up to 90 percent of dollar in Nigeria is not in the bank... Can't confirm the exact percentage but I recall it was ridiculous

Now you seem to be getting the point. If dollars are being hoarded outside the financial system, then making the little that we have more easily available means of course that it will head back into the same sources of the artifical demand, compounding and not solving the problem.

The first step to a solution is ridding the economy of artificial demand. That's what they are doing by forcing people to bring the dollars into the banks.

lauzun:


Story.
What of Jonathan that did more for the North during his tenure than any Northern politician since Mallam Aminu Kano? How was he repaid?

It's like you didn't comprehend the point that guy was making because what you have said here aligns with his statements.

The north, including Atiku, have never cared for these kids. The one person who made their well being his business was a southerner, GEJ, who they showed no gratitude to.

ivandragon:


Apologises if I seem to be going back and forth with you on this.

Even with the possible adherence to federal character principle (which you are not certain about and which makes it all the more intriguing why you are sticking out your neck to rationalise the matter), don't you still think there should be clearly stated criteria to enable as many eligible candidates have a chance at this opportunity?

Especially bearing in mind that the resources used in purchasing the vehicles are state resources which are contributed regardless of ethnic, political and religious affiliations?

Of course there should be. Are you saying there wasn't??

ivandragon:


Ok.

I was asking because I noticed you were one of those vehemently rationalising the alleged manner the cars were distributed, so I thought you had more details to justify your stance.

My stance is simple. The question of political parties is irrelevant as long as the federal character principle is upheld. Now if there is evidence of corruption that's a different story but even the accusers have not said so.

ivandragon:


Please, what criteria was used in selecting the beneficiaries and what are the terms and conditions attached to it?

Why are you asking me sir? Not being a resident of the FCT, I heard about this on the news like you did I presume. That is why I started by asking the accusers to present a full case.

I then addressed their case on the strength of what they have already presented i.e the complaint that the award favoured APC loyalists.

I concluded that in the absence of other facts, this alone does not disclose an offence.

TheRealestGuy:


It's called an analogy and I expected it to be beyond your comprehension.

If there is no transparency and integrity in a small "youth empowerment" programme of maybe a couple 100 millions in Naira, younexoect integrity, accountability and transparency in bigger programmes running into hundreds of billions?

I also expect this point to be beyond your comprehension.

I will not bother to respond to you further.

You are right Mr SmartyPants

Well your heart is in the right place but the real problem you have is that you are an olodo.

That's probably why you don't know that when you compare two unlike terms in order to make analogy, you have committed the logical fallacy called faulty analogy. Google it so you don't repeat it.

That's probably also why you have concluded on the basis of a 3 paragraph statement bereft of details, that there was no transparency in the program. In fact, how could the so called investigators have investigated the recipients if the award was not transparent to some degree?

As to your 'threat' not to respond to me again. Did I mention you or you mentioned me? What makes you think I've even taken notice of your username? What a moro.n you are!

TheRealestGuy:


Of course that's all that matters.

Same way criminal governors inflate contracts and build flyovers and airports but all that matters is that it was built.

Like I said, with people who think like you being in the majority, I frankly don't see a way out for Nigeria.

There is no parallel with the procurement fraud you allude to and what the minister has done here because, as I have pointed out, what the law requires is respect for federal character not political parties.

I understand what you think your point is but you're wrong.

phineas:


Where do you buy dollars when you need it? That's the place to start... make it easy to get dollars.

Foreign remittances alone was more than our dollar demand in one quater in 2024

You don't seem to get the question I asked. Listen again... How do you demystify a scarce resource?

Do I take it that your argument is that Nigeria's total dollar supply exceeds its total dollar demand? That's obviously false. Market realities clearly show the opposite.

TheRealestGuy:


You take money from our common patrimony, billions of naira, and you distribute to party members in the name of rewarding "loyalty".

The scary part is that majority of Nigerians think just like you. And we wonder why the country is the poverty capital of the world?

I'm neither disappointed nor surprised. You people's suffering is just warming up.

Nonsensical talk. What Wike did was a youth empowerment scheme by way of taxi driving.
Now to take a brief detour, note that the word used was "loyalist" which is a broad term you've disingenously switched out for "party member" in order to make your tedious point.

And in case you want to embarrass your education by claiming not to get the distinction, the difference is that loyalist is such a vague term that even someone who merely posts on twitter that they support a certain party could be called a loyalist. Is that a reasonable basis to deny someone an economic opportunity?

This is the bottom line: Are there 80 less unemployed youths today as a result? If yes, that's what matters no whether they are APC "loyalists"


Take it or leave it.

They should share their data to conclusively prove that the 80 recipients are exclusively APC loyalists. However it must be said also that provided the loyalists-so called, cut across all regions and ethnicities of Nigeria, then there is no legal ground for complaints. Loyalists are Nigerian citizens after all.

Typicool8:
Although this appears to be the best approach to tackle banditry and insecurity in the country, it may not be realistic, as Nigeria has many disgruntled individuals. Small conflicts can easily spiral out of control, often with fatal consequences.
Nigeria go remain very few people in few years if this bill scale through

If people are that predisposed to killing each other they would do it anyway, with or without guns. Most Nigerians are preoccupied with survival and making money. The criminally minded ones already have easy access to guns.

Kilometres:
Nigerians should do the same thing.

File Petition against South Africa's participation..
Xenophobic reason

Let's see who go win

They are exposing themselves to the world as xenophobic idiots...when your enemy is destroying himself by himself you don't join him. You sit back and watch the show.

Of course their petition will be trashed BTW.

phineas:
Draconian policy here,this cannot be the way to go about this.

Think incentives,think high yielding dollar funds, think easy availability of dollars when wee need it, demystify access to the dollar in Nigeria and make things easy for people,that would be a good place to start.

How exactly does one go about demystifying access to a scarce resource?

IfnobeGod20:
Please can you state and quote the legally part of defecting to another party?
If they can go to court and swear to an affidavit of their defection, please what more? Do people just go to court to swear affidavit for fun?

Every political party has a roll of its members. This is what is legally recognized as the party's membership. If your name is not on the roll, then you are not a member of that party in the eye of the law. It's that simple.

Note that an affidavit is a tool not an end in itself. Meaning, an affidavit is to be used as a supporting document in the pursuit of a further final document or application. For instance, if you have lost your passport, an affidavit stating how you lost it is necessary for a fresh passport application, however, if tlyou never actually apply for the fresh passport, can you then go around claiming that your affidavit is as good as a new passport? Are you getting it?

Secondly, the validity of an affidavit is always contestable. For instance if I swear an affidavit claiming to be the owner of Aso rock, will you willingly buy it from me if I proposed a sale?

Looks orderly and inviting

IfnobeGod20:
If we should be expecting law and order, then, the 27 members of the house of assembly suppose to have lost their identity since December 2023, if it is about law and order.

But it's been made clear that there is a legally recognized way to defect and since the persons in question merely claimed to have defected without going through this process, then by law they are not known to have been defected?

maasoap:
To all the ignorant folks on this forum.



Your father is a mor.on! Can't you fvcking reply like a sane person? So much from someone who thinks he's smart. Delusion

You talk like a Moro.n that is why I addressed you as such.

Now would a Moro.n base their research off snippets from Google? Yes they would. But like I said, the entire body of thought that opines that HIV can be passed through clippers comes almost entirely from Nigeria.

The screenshot below is taken from one of the resources you shared. Do you see how moronic your contributions here are when you look at the methodology for the research?

Now, share with us a single documented case of HIV transmission through clippers.

maasoap:


Lol. Some STDs are also transmitted through other means like sharp objects (blades, needles, clippers), blood transfusion, mother to child during child birth and so on. HIV and Hep B fall into this category. Be informed!



Where did you guys come from? A little Google search will prevent you guys from future regrets caused by ignorance.
Hospitals started using one needle per patient basically because of HIV and Hep B, yet they're STDs

Don't be a Moro.n. Of course needle use can also transmit most STDs however in the context of clippers this is not relevant and the underlying concept remains the same. Now note:, Needles are able to transmit these pathogens because

1. They are able to preserve blood and the pathogens in blood longer than if the blood was exposed to air.

2. They penetrate deep into blood stream, beyond the barriers of the skin.

Clippers cannot in anyway transmit any blood borne STD because they don't do the aforementioned.

This level of ignorance is only found in Nigeria.

lexy2014:


Exactly. Like fubara needing to allow Wike have his way in the state and make decisions for the state which fubara must comply with

If that's what law and order means to you, too bad. Not any problem of mine though.

Orlu13:



will u shut d Bleep up...I wish they can round up foolish nd wicked ppl like u nd all other APC miscreants nd jst set all of u on fire


bunch of stupid fools

What is this thing going on about? Be quiet mongrel!

1x2x3:


FG will feel it more if creek boys gets activated. You can't take the natural resources of Rivers and withhold its proceeds in ABJ, Fubara needs to become x2 of the dictator WIKE is.

And why should the creek boys support Fubara?? What has he done for Rivers people in his entire career?

I've always wondered what those pushing Fubara on think will happen eventually.

With the Courts currently agreeing that the pro Wike lawmakers did not validly defect, there is no way out for him now.

He will slowly but surely feel the weight of federal might. And this time there can be no complaints because the FG will be on the side of the law.

JuIia:
What do people want from Rivers state

Law and order obviously.
