2019 Election Race Faces – Defection, Deceit, Manifesto, Agendas & Propagandas
From Joggers to Workers, From Common Sense to Humanity, From Defection to Holiness, From Title to Titles
It’s an Interesting 8 Months 2018… From Melaye’s Defection to PDP WHILE singing a primary school rhyme… interesting, to Constant’s Common Sense Scene to Regular TV Episodes to Not-Too-Young-To-Run Bills & Gimmicks To hashtag #defectionAPCtoPDP To hashtag #massivedefection To NASS Invasion by the DSS (sorry, he got the sack) To SARAKI’S SAGA & THE PRESIDENCY
To Present Massive good Acts & Acting
Running through the list of Notable presidential Candidates;
- Waziri Adamawa Atiku Abubakar (Former Vice President)
- Our Own’s Senate President (present icing on the cake)
- President Muhammadu Buhari (Baba Go-Slow)
- The Young-shall-grow Omoyele Sowore
- and others
Deliquent acts of past and present administration turns Our Great nation Nigeria into bowl of cereal. You can eat it raw, milk, and even comes in flavours. Thus creating rooms for Spiritual declaration, opening battle grounds for contestants and giving room for more thinking running in the minds of Nigerians.
Recently, INEC discloses that 23 Parties have been registered. Someone said “why can’t we maintain just 2 parties” as in other developing countries…Since the Greatest battle in Nature is “Good against Evil”. So having pool of Closely-Good, Closet-evil, evil-evil, double-exponential-evil and other number parties will only cause confusion in the minds of all.
BREAKING: SARAKI DECLARES FOR PRESIDENCY
So let’s try have just 2 parties… funny!?
Let’s have a look at the social life of each contestant
- Atiku Abubakar – 71 Years
(Waziri Adamawa, former Vice President of Nigeria, a dad, businessman and philanthropist.). Don’t Forget – he’s Nigeria’s Former Vice President during Olusegun Obasanjo’s Tenure

Favourite Line
“Walk the Walk, like I work the Work”
I regularly jog more than a mile & exercise, but it will be pedestrian of me to ask Nigerians to vote for me because of that. I want my party – the PDP, and Nigerians, to vote for me because I WORK not because I WALK. I will work to create jobs. I won’t walk to create an illusion pic.twitter.com/zxkzLcWDpg

Many of the Corps members posted to Daura are from southern Nigeria,and have never lived in or experienced this part of the country. For them to be brought to the desert or near the Sahel region is a difficult thing, but I have no doubt it will make a positive impact on Nigeria. pic.twitter.com/zatHHfATGJ

CBN to End Forex Sales to Commercial Banks in 2022

Author: Eunice Johnson, Abuja
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has put Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) on notice that it will stop selling forex to them by the end of 2022. CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele made this known in Abuja on Thursday at the end of the Bankers’ Committee Meeting where he also introduced the RT200 Programme.
Emefiele said the time had come for the banks to go out there and source for forex by funding entrepreneurs with ideas. The CBN, Emefiele said, will support the banks by granting rebates and other support until the banks find their feet in sourcing their forex by themselves.
He also disclosed that the apex bank’s policies and measures have led to a significant improvement in diaspora inflow from an average of US$6 million per week in December 2020 to an average of over US$100 million per week by January 2022. He added that the CBN would be reviewing these intervention programmes going forward to ensure that they continue to achieve the desired results.
He said international bodies, including some embassies and donor agencies, have been complicit in illegal forex transactions that have hindered the flow of foreign exchange into the country.

The Comptroller General of Customs Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (Rtd.) has approved the deployment of 37 Comptrollers to various Units, Departments and Commands across the country.

Ali in postings released on 7th of February, charged the newly posted Comptrollers to justify the confidence reposed in them by NCS Management by bringing to bear their years of experience and training in trade facilitation and anti-smuggling activities on their new assignment.
Given the enormous expectations of government regarding revenue generation in the current year, the Comptroller General reiterated the need for all Area Controllers and Unit heads to take full charge of the affairs of their Commands by ensuring absolute compliance with extant fiscal policies while leveraging on the efficient management of data to optimize trade facilitation and revenue collection.
Furthermore, the CGC directed all officers to be extremely vigilant in protecting the lives and wellbeing of Nigerians by ensuring the full fortification of our borders against the incursion of smugglers and other cross border criminals.
