With the way this con3 is going, if Emilokan want a 3rd term in office, he will easily get it.

Na Atiku cause am. If he had kept quiet rebuilding PDP PBAT wouldn't have gone this far. Atiku/Obi's whitewashed coalition or is it confusion made PBAT to bring out all the politician in him. And he went for the overdrive. By the time he finishes PDP will be a ghost party.

Nanalucky:

Enemy of progress . We dey here to separate them. The fight go bi family matter.

Defecting to a party that is about to fold up?

nedekid:

Be ready for drinking of fuel.

ebuk4real:


Tinubu thinks he will cripple oppositions with this decision ahead of 2027 but he is deceiving himself. Time will tell. He will fail woefully

What is this??

obi4eze:
Lol.

Skilled Worker visa wey don cast for UK or isn't the OP aware of the immigration white paper that was released last month? The threshold for foreign recruitment will be increased to discourage foreign recruitment.

You didn't even specify the pay for this job. This smells like a big SCAM. The pay will definitely not be up to the new threshold being planned.

Na scam na. Only the ignorant will fall.

Mrfixitt:
Tinubu is a failure. He has nothing to offer

This is always your sing song. Tell us your better alternative. Please show us his workings before now.

Leonardo4:

Lol you people are something else. What was fuel price when he took over power?

Have you forgotten the fuel station queue that makes you waste hours before you get ten liters of petrol.

Curious345:
Ok.

I almost tore my port , when I saw on CNN and Al-Jazeera, Nigerians digging with hoe and cutlass in a bid to find bodes of missing relatives .

But if same happens abroad , we see all types of state of the art heavy duty equipments on ground accompanied with kanine sniffing dogs and helicopters etc.

APC should be proscribed

APC has been running Nigeria since 1960. Western world has become a standard to measure a third world nation. Are your personal work ethics like that of a guy in a first world?

Let Wike abuse the president. You Abati have you not been abusing the president? Leave am like that for us. What he said concerning Amechi is it not the truth?

Amotolongbo:
And there are still some people gathering in this man’s church?

Leave that thing. It has become a hobby for Nigerians particularly bloggers and social media influencers to harass and insult churches and pastors. They behave as pastors and churches are the cause of their problems. Everyone nobi Adeboye that has enormous connection, power and wealth but choose to ignore them.

mukthar2000:
Ur generator must be oof by 8pm
*Gate close by 9pm and u can't jump fence,

No na. Go and jump fence. Are you a criminal?

Brendaniel:


Everything you said is what Peter Obi has been doing, the problem you guys have is you don't like opposition, Tinubu doesn't like opposition...

Give me a lead to any news where Obi applauded any policy of this government?

Criminalgoment:
Am from amaigbo imo state,and this man's son I law is from eziama the next town,infact he must drive my father's compound while going to his house,I can just take a walk to his house because there is t beside the house where we go to eat ogba and palmwine

When this fool wanted his son inlaw to rule imo.state,though the son inlaw is a good man who has also sent several boys abroad even the son of the woman selling the ogba and palmwine,he even renovated there house for them,he even relocate many guys that found it hard abroad to another country,do you know why we and imo people in general didn't vote uche nwosu his son inlaw? It's simply because we igbos don't tolerate Godfatherism,it's forbidden to our ears,do your turn and hand over we don't care if it will favour us

Yes we don't care because if that man won,am sure we would have felt it,but all we cared about is the betterment if imo state not our selfish gains,am proudly igbo,we are slave to no man,it's in our DNA,that's the major reason why we hate that jagabantis of Lagos apart from him being so corrupt.

Same reason we love obi , because he is for Nigeria and not only Igbos ,no living igbo politician can get block votes from igbo land except obi,I repeat,except PETER OBI

That man is a man I wish I can emulate but it's a hard task, a rare breed

APC-e-rats over to you,am waiting

I'm from Owerri. What would you call the change of governors in Abia state up to Ikpeazu? Not godfatherism? My people eeh. We too beat chest.

ppogba:


By now, I expect anyone at least two weeks old on Nairaland to have a list of people or commenters to just ignore and not respond to their comments.

I can help you with a list.

Brendaniel:


Then why single only Peter Obi ?

His style of opposition is opposition of condemn all and nothing is good. He used it to stir up hatred against the government by his followers irrespective of how good the actions are.

Reno just pointed out that if you condemn all policies of the government why is your business making so much that it has never made for years? This is contradiction.

Good opposition means condemn what is bad and suggest practicable alternatives and applaud what is good. Anything contrary is desperation for position.

Brendaniel:


Of course to only those who use tribalism and religious bias to judge everything...

No, to those that use finance and economics to judge everything.

nairalanda1:


It is very logical. Banks will do well, even when the economy is bad, because 1) there are opportunities for them in a bad economy 2) they operate...at least the good ones....under very careful rules and regulations 3) maybe insurance 4) Reforms from 1994-2007 essentially meant that you could not just go and open a bank without capital. 5) people in this country love to save their money, and most employers pay salaries through the banks.

First bank, Union Bank and old UBA did well in the SAP era , while most factories and businesses closed down (this was the time when people were complaining that factories and warehouses, at least in the Lagos area, were becoming churches) and car production at PAN kaduna went down from 200 cars a day in 1981 to less than 30 by 1995.

The real mark of an economy is its productivity. You guys are not asking your leaders why your government is not developing an economy that is, going to y'know....produce stuff that the world needs.

Don't tell me tinubu is doing something. He is doing what his predecessors did. He is not making the hard decisions.

The money in the banks where does it come from? From the air?

If the monies in the banks are not lent out where will the banks make money from?

Will companies borrow if they have no need for the money? How will they repay? I can go on and on.

Infact any BABY banker, ant and economist that reads this your submission will not bother to reply. They will just waka because it makes no economic sense.

CoronaVirusPro:
The economy is bad but some sectors are still thriving.

If I am not wrong, I think the banking sector is winning the most. GTCO has gone haywire.

The truth is that the banking sector was so dirty before. It has been reasonably cleaned.

Brendaniel:


Was Reno expecting the bank to fail?

And why did he single out only Fidelity Bank?

Are there not other banks, why didn't he ask why they haven't failed either?


This discussion is a very petty one from Reno, let Reno go to his hometown and count how many businesses that have closed down or still running since Tinubu came on board or is he not concerned about his own people? When would he talk about the plight of his own people, always on Igbo matter and Peter Obi

Your line of argument has no weight and it's illogical.

PresidObi:
Even if the satan himself is the president, everything set up by Peter "Midas" Obi will always thrive. Businesses, supermarkets, banks, breweries and presidency.

That man was born to win.

Nigeria misses him after what happened in the last election.

Can he strive in hell?

bluebay:
Can someone shut this talkative up?

Because he's saying the truth?

honestivo:
Hypocrite,
Same person that's criticising Fubura for been ungrateful,he's here talking down on his former boss

Correction: Amechi was not his former boss. They were not even friends.

billyG:
Has tinubu stopped d import of Brazilian hairs,foreign whisky & brandy, exotic cars for d wealthy.

They have drastically reduced because they are expensive.

nedu666:


Reforms that don't improve welfare of ordinary Nigerians is useless reforms. Govt is not about raising revenue and borrowing money

The genesis of what you are going through now came through your economy performing poorly almost at the point of halt such that Nigerian economy was rated lowly, foreign investors avoided us, existing companies started leaving, borrowing became very expensive but we had to borrow paying higher interest rates etc. The leaders padded the economy by making things look good through subsidy in various areas. They were afraid of the backlash if they take the right decisions. We were headed to the point of total collapse.

Way back in Jonathan's regime Okonjo-Iwuala raised the alarm but Jonathan was weak. World institutions warned. Someone came in and looked at the future and not the present of the country and decided to take that hard choice. The choice of course must come with pain but it will make the future bright. If this choice was made when economy was not totally down the pain would have been less.

OBJ to an extent cleared the old mess but he failed to prepare us for the future. He had thought that he would have used the third term to do this. Jonathan rubbished OBJ's cleansing. Buhari increased Jonathan's mess. This is the point that PBAT took over.

His choice was: continue on the old part and be temporarily popular and we grand to a halt or reverse the old order with pains and become for now unpopular but have Nigeria prepared for a sustainable future. He choose the latter.

I have taken time to explain this because people that are looking at politics do not understand why people like us PBAT. I his policies and not his person because I understand economics and finance.

There are a lot that he's not doing eg corruption, cost of governance and reduction of waste. But trust my word Nigeria is on track if we can drag what he is doing for the next six years and of course improve on those ones that he is not doing.

Leviticuscreed:
But agbado miscreantts were partying and calling us name for simply staying the truth. Sillyy people thinks leadership is a tribal affair. They should ask katsina people how far?

Thank God for Aliko Dangote. Obi that has been shouting from consumption to production up and down will not invest in refinery. Na only buying and selling business.

Bluntemperor:
Very Interesting 🤔
A Former-Bank Director,had that Audacity to Write Off the $2.3 Million ( Dollars) Money 🤑,of Another Company- Owing Your Bank- just like that! Haba!!!
Is that the Process of Writing -Off Loan Facilities- of a Huge Amount,in a Bank?
Is that how NBillions Loan Facilities Are Written- Off,by one Single Man- a Director,who came from Another Bank,during Consolidation Exercise,when some of these Banks Being Acquired Did Not Even Worth it,but were Imposed,on the Acquiring Banks and that is Why Some Banks -don't Venture into Any Acquisition of Others ,during Bank Consolidation Exercises because of terrible things underneath.
Or Alternatively,may be the Boards of Directors Of the Bank,at that time -gave him Power to do so - for that is the Only thing that can save him with this Statement.
Imagine the Humongous NBILLIONS Value Of the Money $💰,at the time of Write- Off.
Na waoo!

Austin Obigwe has always been like this. He resigned from Citizens Bank as executive director to become Abacha man hiding his money all over the world. Together with Abacha family they awarded multimillion dollar contract to their company Harbour Engineering that had no office and personnel. The contract was the dredging of Imo River to provide shipping channel to ASCON in Ikot Abasi. When Abacha died he disappeared. The money was fully paid but no job was done.

He must have made a fortune from the Abacha loot. He must have converted some the monies that he hide for Abacha that the family and Nigeria might not know. Nigeria is a wonder.

SeeAllen:
Which inflation did he control ? Say something else dude. You can't fool intelligent people no matter the level of propaganda you pull. Tinubu and Cardoso have been failures. You can say what you want but that's the pure truth

If you are an economist you will understand how difficult it is to merge multiple exchange rates and allow it to float. To even go ahead to do the unthinkable by withdrawing subsidy on an essential item. This is double floatation that could have triggered hyperinflation. Most leaders will never have the will to try it.

SeeAllen:
A failure being given an award.

You don't know the meaning of failure. Do you know what it took him to clear the mess created by Emefeli? Do you know what it took them to control inflation in an economy that suffered double bullets of currency devaluation and subsidy removal? Do you know the energy and guts that is required to battle currency arbitragers and rent seekers to a standstill? Do you know what it took to control the high exchange rate volatility that we went through? Praise people when they have done well so that they will do more.

Small pikin blood still dey worry this girl

This is very true. Can my wife take photographs in my office and post it anyhow in the social media. It's childishness.
