TMS Network (TMSN) Price Prediction: Will It Be Able To Surpass Solana (SOL) And Avalanche (AVAX)

0

So, people are joining it rapidly to gain the most from the early phase.

Solana’s (SOL) NFT Market Standing Slumps

Solana (SOL) is one of the leading blockchain networks for NFTs. But the Solana (SOL) network has suffered a massive blow in the past few months. The trading volume, and floor prices of the Solana (SOL) NFT space has severely plunged. Amid the ongoing slump in Solana (SOL) NFT prices, Formfunction has become the worst sufferer. Formfunction, an NFT marketplace based on the Solana (SOL) network, has announced closing down its operations after only 13 months of its launch. The price of Solana (SOL) has fallen by 19% on the monthly chart. Consequently, the current trading price of Solana (SOL) has come down to $19.43, which is 93% below its all-time high of 260.06.

Avalanche (AVAX) Faced With Bearish Slap

Ranked 18th by market capitalization, Avalanche (AVAX) is a smart contract blockchain platform. Avalanche (AVAX) works on the proof-of-stake consensus protocol. Launched in 2020, Avalanche (AVAX) shot to fame for its low transaction cost, faster speed, and high throughput. Recently, Avalanche (AVAX) was in the news for partnering with esports giant, TSM, to develop web3 products. However, the price of Avalanche (AVAX) is yet to make a positive run. The price of Avalanche (AVAX) has fallen by 20% in the last 30 days. As a result, Avalanche (AVAX) currently trades at $15.63, which is 89% below its all-time high of $146.22.

Peter Obi has finally dragged Tinubu to court ; these are his prayers!

0

Mr Peter Obi and his party, the Labour Party, have finally dragged Bola Ahmed Tinubu, his running mate, Senator Kashim Shetima, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the All Progressive Congress (APC) to the election tribunal in Abuja over the 25th of February  2023 presidential election.

In this petition in which Peter Obi is the first applicant/petitioner and his party, the  Labour Party is the second applicant/petitioner, he asks the court to grant majorly four reliefs on his behalf. 

Peter Obi is asking the court as the first relief he is seeking to hold that Bola Ahmed Tinubu due to his indictment on drugs smuggling,  money laundering and other related criminal offence in the USA is not qualified to have joined in the contest of the presidential election; therefore, all votes cast for Bola Tinubu are all wasted votes because he was never qualified to participate in the election ab initio. 

The second relief Peter Obi is asking the court to grant him is that the court should hold that Tinubu has not met the constitutional requirement to be declared elected for his failure to get 2/3 of the total votes cast in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT, Abuja), hence he should never have been returned elected or declared a winner. 

Thirdly, Peter Obi with the Labour Party is asking the court to cancel the 25th of February 2023 general election due to the fact that the election was marred with numerous electoral malpractices and irregularities and that it failed to be conducted in line with the 2022 electoral act and constitutional guidelines. The court as a way to remedy it should therefore mandate the INEC to conduct a fresh election and Bola Tinubu with his running mate, Kashim Shetima and the All Progressive Congress (APC) should never be allowed to participate in the fresh election to be conducted by INEC

Most importantly, Peter Obi is asking the court to declare him the winner of the 25th February 2023 election as the fourth relief he is seeking.

Caveat; my unsolicited personal opinion: 

If you ask me; this Peter Obi’s petition is actually very weak, but since Dr Livy Uzoukwu SAN (a reputable and experienced election petition lawyer who I have been fortunate to be taught by and I can attest to how solid he is in election petition matters) is the lead attorney joining forces with other formidable Senior Advocates of Nigeria,  I can only guess that they know what they are doing.

But I can authoritatively say that if we really want to interpret the constitution the way it is as of today; the prayer that Bola Tinubu did not get 25% of the total votes cast in the  Federal Capital Territory thereby failing to meet the constitutional requirement to be declared elected which is the second prayer in the petition will not fly in court but you never can tell with Nigerian courts.

Let us watch with our popcorn and see how this will unfold; the next few weeks will really be an interesting time in our political and judicial space. 

Atiku, Obi File Petition Challenging INEC’s Declaration of Tinubu As the Winner of Presidential Election

0

Peter Obi and Labour Party have formally filed a petition to challenge the outcome of the February 25 presidential election at the Election Petition Tribunal in Abuja.

Also, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Atiku Abubakar has similarly filed a petition challenging the election result.

Obi filed the petition after waiting in vain on the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) for days to allow him and his party to inspect the materials used for the election as ordered by the Court of Appeal.

In the petition marked: CA/PEPC/03/2023, which has INEC and Tinubu as the 1st and second respondents; his running mate, Senator Kashim Shettima, and the APC as the 3rd and 4th respondents, the LP and Obi are praying the Tribunal to nullify INEC’s declaration of Tinubu as president.

The petition is also praying that the tribunal declare that Tinubu was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election. It also asks for an order mandating INEC to retrieve the certificate of return issued to the APC candidate and issue a fresh one to Obi.

Other prayers of the LP and Obi include request for the cancellation of the election and that the tribunal make an order compelling INEC to conduct a fresh election in which Tinubu, Shettima, and the APC will not participate.

The petitioners argued that Tinubu was not qualified to contest the election, citing his involvement in drug trafficking in the United States. They also noted among other things, that the election was invalid because of corrupt practices and non-compliance with the provision of the Electoral Act 2022.

Similarly, in their petition marked: CA/PEPC/05/2023, which also has INEC; Tinubu, Kashim Shettima, and the APC as the 1st to 4th respondents, Atiku and the PDP are praying that the Tribunal annul the declaration of Tinubu as the president, citing failure by INEC to conduct the presidential election in line with electoral guidelines, which gave room for the APC’s massive rigging.

In response to the petitions, the spokesperson for Tinubu presidential campaign, Bayo Onanuga, said Tuesday that Obi is trying to replicate the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election won by late M K O Abiola.

“Peter Obi of Labour Party seeks the annulment of the election of President-elect Bola Tinubu just like the military annulled MKO Abiola’s election of 12 June 1993,” he tweeted.

The 1993 election, which was duly won by Abiola, was annulled by ex military dictator, Ibrahim Babangida.

Onanuga who has championed the ethnically-charged campaign rhetoric of the APC that brewed violence during the March 18 governorship and State House Assembly election, said Tinubu is ready to defend his victory. “Team Tinubu will certainly meet you [Obi] in court,” he tweeted.

Two other political parties, the Action Alliance and the Allied Peoples Movement, have equally lodged separate petitions to challenge the outcome of the presidential election.

OBI’S 5 PRAYERS IN FULL

The Petitioners, therefore, seek the following Reliefs from this Honourable Court:

  1. (i) That it be determined that at the time of the Presidential Election held on 25th February, 2023, the 2nd and 3rd Respondents (Tinubu and Shettima) were not qualified to contest the election.

(ii) That it be determined that all the votes recorded for the 2nd respondent in the election are wasted votes, owing to the non-qualification/disqualification of the 2nd and 3rd respondents.

(iii) That it be determined that on the basis of the remaining votes (after discountenancing the votes credited to the 2nd Respondent) the 1st petitioner (Mr Obi) scored a majority of the lawful votes cast at the election and had not less than 25 per cent of the votes cast in each of at least 2/3 (two-third) of the states of the federation, and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, and satisfied the constitutional requirements to be declared the winner of the 25 February 2023 presidential election.

  1. That it be determined that the 2nd Respondent having failed to score one-quarter of the votes cast at the presidential election in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, was not entitled to be declared and returned as the winner of the presidential election held on 25 February 2023.

IN THE ALTERNATIVE TO 2 ABOVE:

  1. An order cancelling the election and compelling the 1st Respondent to conduct a fresh election at which the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Respondents shall not participate.

IN THE ALTERNATIVE TO 1, 2 AND 3 ABOVE:

  1. (i) That it may be determined that the 2nd Respondent was not duly elected by a majority of the lawful votes cast in the election for the office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria held on 25 February 2023; and therefore, the declaration and return of the 2nd Respondent as the winner of the Presidential election are unlawful, unconstitutional and of no effect whatsoever.

(ii) That it be determined that based on the valid votes cast at the Presidential election of 25 February, 2023, the 1st Petitioner scored the highest number of votes cast at the election and not less than one-quarter of the votes cast at the election in each of at least two-thirds of all the States in the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and ought to be declared and returned as the winner of the Presidential election.

(iii) An Order directing the 1st Respondent to issue the Certificate of Return to the 1st Petitioner as the duly elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

(iv) That it be determined that the Certificate of Return wrongly issued to the 2nd Respondent by the 1st Respondent is null and void and be set aside.

FURTHER ALTERNATIVE TO 1, 2,3 AND 4 ABOVE:

5 (i) That the Presidential election conducted on 25th February, 2023 is void on the ground that the election was not conducted substantially in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 and Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, as amended,

(ii) An order cancelling the’ Presidential Election conducted on 25th February 2023 and mandating the 1st Respondent to conduct a fresh election for the office of President, the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Value Comes In Different Forms: Advert or No Advert in your Business Model

1

Most customers like adverts provided those adverts are used to subsidize the price of products or to make them free: “Roughly one million people are subscribed to Netflix’s ad-supported tier after its second month, based on data seen by Bloomberg, and anonymous sources say it has made good on its forecasted deliveries to advertisers.” 

At the same time, removing adverts while marginally increasing price can also work (that is what Disney is doing and it is also working). The key thing here is VALUE. Subsidizing a product through adverts or eliminating adverts by jacking up product  price will just be fine, if you can create value for the specific user base.

Yahoo advertised its Yahoo premium which does not offer adverts; it was not that lucky. But Google signed millions of paying customers on Gmail. Gmail is not just an email; it is a gate pass to the modern internet; I pay for my personal Gmail!

Look at your market from the lens of value and stop being fixated on price. If customers see value, the purses will open. But if there is no value, no mission. That is why I hate cost-based pricing; I prefer value-based pricing which focuses on the value created, and based on that, one can arrive at an optimal price point which is typically more superior than a cost-based mindset, for innovative products.

At the end, check the value you are delivering.

Roughly one million people are subscribed to Netflix’s ad-supported tier after its second month, based on data seen by Bloomberg, and anonymous sources say it has made good on its forecasted deliveries to advertisers. Adding to the encouraging news for Netflix, existing customers largely stayed put, and the lower-priced ad tier attracted new and lapsed users. By contrast, Disney successfully used ads to justify a price increase: Disney+ without ads now costs $3 more a month, and existing subscribers “didn’t care.” CEO Bob Iger has already signaled more price hikes are coming.

Comment on Feed

Comment 1: But, in a place like Nigeria where price of things is a heavy weight decision factor for most customers, how does this still hold?

My Response: It comes down to value. While we can be more sensitive to price in Nigeria, everyone will still look for value. More parents choose private schools over the FREE public schools these days. Check your village, the private primary school is possibly outperforming the free public ones on relative enrollments.

Comment 2: Very interesting submission. However, in my opinion, I believe that appropriate pricing models should be determined by a few factors howbeit non-exhaustive:
1. Cost of manufacture to market (distribution channels inclusive, adverts etc.)
2. Competing goods/services – alternatives usually, when looked at in a broad sense
3. Value of goods/services -pedestrian or innovative
4. Customer perception – branding, micro/macro environmental influences etc.
5. Term goals – short/medium/long.

When products or services are looked at within a melting pot of these factors, the right compromises would determine the best pricing model to adopt.

My Response: Sure – value based pricing does not mean you do not have your cost in view. It is saying that you are not tethered to cost and margin to arrive at what you ask customers to pay.

Comment 3: For those who like summaries:

Two Types of Pricing

  1. Cost-Based Pricing–focuses on cost of producing the goods sold (COGS), indirect costs (adverts, salaries, logistics.)
  2. Value-Based Pricing—focuses on the value created, and based on that, one can arrive at an optimal price point that is superior to cost-based pricing.

If customers see value, the purses will open. But if there is no value, no mission.
