“Unless you are part of the old system that has brought us to where we are, there is no way you will oppose a young man like Mr Peter Obi, an untainted, young, educated man with ideas from being the president of Nigeria,…But for education I would not be where I am today…I will celebrate 60 years of my call to Bar this year and by the grace of god, Peter Obi will be there. He is the most qualified to lead this country”
– venerable and highly respected eminent legal pioneer Chief Afe Babalola (SAN), Founder and Chancellor of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti.

For Obi, this is a converging sequence: “In Nigerian politics, that rule is working for Peter Obi. Magically, President Obasanjo endorsed him and opened a sequence. Now, venerable elder statesman Edwin Clark has come along. And Benue state governor Ortom has joined.  You can see a sequence there. Simply, Obi has used a shortcut to build “structures” which are converging for him.”

Permit me to share as provided; copied.

Founder and Chancellor of Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Chief Afe Babalola (SAN) has said that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, (LP), Mr Peter Obi is the most qualified person to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said the only people opposed to Obi are those who participated in plunging the country into the state of underdevelopment it is at present.

“Unless you are part of the old system that has brought us to where we are, there is no way you will oppose a young man like Mr Peter Obi, an untainted, young, educated man with ideas from being the president of Nigeria,” he said.

Babalola, who will mark 60 years of his call to Bar as a lawyer this year said he and Obi share a common passion in their love for quality education.

“We have a common ground, and that common ground is that he will give education a rightful place in his administration. Unlike all of you, I never had a conventional education, I never went to secondary school, or university but due to determination and courage I endured. I studied privately through correspondence and obtained my A Level by correspondence, passed the entrance into university by correspondence.

“But for education I would not be where I am today and that is why by the grace of God after a successful practice, I am what I am today. I will celebrate 60 years of my call to Bar this year and by the grace of god, Peter Obi will be there. He is the most qualified to lead this country”.

Comment 1: Prof, I might accept being one of “wrong” reader if you mix it with politics. I have gained a lot from your posts but I feel your personal political preference or an ALMOST appearance of a political preference is making me one of the “wrong” readers as you earlier described. Sorry, but a personal opinion.

My Response: Being a “wrong reader” is not determined by not agreeing with my posts. A “wrong reader” is someone who disagrees but is confused on what he disagrees on. So, from what you wrote here, you are a “wrong reader” because you did not even make any statement. Why? Ndubuisi posted a statement from somebody, now, instead of focusing on the statement or the person, you see “Ndubuisi”. Why is Ndubuisi a subject of this from your angle? You are a wrong reader.

Comment 1R: Prof, I wouldn’t have said anything if you had endorsed someone. Yes, you have your opinions with regards to a lot of things, but I only wanted clarity, particularly on this, because I read your earlier post on the “RIGHT” and “WRONG” readers. If it is just quoting someone without creating a PERCEIVED opinion as I have read here, no problem.

My Response: There is no problem. I enjoy having you on this feed. Happy new year. But note that I support  all but vote none. (I moved all my US equities to Fidelity to avoid the temptation of praising companies which I had invested in at night. So, writing here restricts many things) Be assured that if GEJ endorses Atiku, I will write it here.  And if IBB endorses Tinubu, I will do the same. When Soludo welcomed Atiku, I wrote it for Atiku. If Wike endorses, irrespective of the person, it is post-worthy. But my personal opinion should not be at the center.

Nigerians React as CBN Discloses that Naira Notes will Remain Legal Tender Until Deadline Date

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on its Twitter handle recently disclosed that the newly redesigned naira note remains Nigeria’s legal tender until the deadline date on January 31, 2023.

CBN tweeted, “The current series of N200, N500 and N1,000 notes remain legal tender until the deadline of January 31, 2023”.

With just 24 days left to the deadline date, the CBN is signaling Nigerians to do the needful of depositing old naira notes, or risk forfeiting it after the deadline date.

The CBN warning has been followed by various reactions from Nigerians, as so many of them have expressed displeasure about the deadline date.

Many complained that the ATMs and banks are still issuing old notes while the deadline date draws near, noting that old notes ought to have been put away a long time ago by financial institutions in the country.

Check out different reactions from Nigerians on Twitter,

@eddieonoriode wrote, “Can we be serious for once pls! As at today, ATM and banks still dispensing the outgone notes!By now, these notes that are suppose to be become illegal tender by 31st if this MONTH!!!!, financial institutions will have stopped issuing them out but rather be receiving them!”

@BenNwokoye wrote, “Like seriously? I went to withdraw money from the ATM (first bank) and was given old notes. I went to the counter to ask for the new notes, I was told I’ll not be given more than 10,000.00. How can the dates be possible when banks are still dispensing old notes.”

Or how do you explain the timeline you’ve posted, and banks still recirculating the old notes instead of mopping them up? SCAM!!!

@SprintLogistic1 wrote, “CBN is a big joke. Honestly. You should know better than anyone else that the v deadline is not realistic. Banks still give the old notes. Atms still dispense the old notes, yet it’s just a coupla weeks to your bogus deadline. No be juju be that?!”

@Oladipupo wrote, “Poor publicity on the street beyond social media. CBN needs to do more by taking this information down to the market men and women. Some of them even still finds it difficult to receive the new note as legal tender. Public awareness outside social media is very LOW.”

@Rose5Chisom wrote, “CBN the new Currency is not much in Circulation. What do you say about that. I can’t even go to the bank because what they give is old Currency. My Opinion is this, the deadline should be postponed and then print more of the new Currency, this time make sure it’s well circulated.

@engr_moob wrote, “There is need to extend the dateline. It is obvious that CBN does not have sufficient amounts of the new notes as most ATMs still dispense the old notes”.

Last year December, recall that the Senate urged the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to urgently extend the withdrawal date of old currency notes from Jan. 31, 2023 to June 31.

Raising Orders 41 and 51 of Senate Standing Rule, Senator representing Borno South district Ali Ndume said that the call for extension of the date should be considered as a matter of urgent national importance in order to forestall imminent hardship on Nigerians.

In his words, “This senate notes that many Nigerian banks on Thursday, Dec. 15, opened their vaults to customers and depositors to exchange their old currency notes for the newly redesigned currency notes which have a stipulated deadline of Jan. 31.

“Some Nigerians are already envisaging long queues in the banking hall across the country as a result of people trying to get access to the new naira notes. The old notes are expected to be in circulation along the new ones until Jan. 31 when the old ones are expected to be phased out.

“It is expected that many Nigerian businesses will start to rid the old notes as soon as banks start paying redesigned notes to customers. The withdrawal of old notes from circulation if not extended beyond Jan. 31, many Nigerians will be thrown into hardship and to avoid the repeat of 1984 experience withdrawal of old notes.”

Meanwhile, the Central Bank is still hell-bent on maintaining that the deadline date remains the same, following its recent post on Twitter.

WhatsApp Announces Game-Changing Update That Allows Users Send Messages Even When The Internet is Down

Meta-owned platform Whatsapp has recently announced a game-changing update that allows users to send messages even when the internet is down.

The social media platform disclosed that this update was launched to ensure that users will be able to send messages even when there is a disruption of the internet, a case study of Iran.

Meta further disclosed that this feature was launched to safeguard the human rights of people as well as prevent them from being cut off from receiving urgent help.

The company said via a statement,

“Our wish for 2023 is that these internet shutdowns never occur. Disruptions like we’ve seen in Iran for months on end deny people’s human rights and cut people off from receiving urgent help.

“In case these shutdowns continue, we hope this solution helps people wherever there is a need for secure and reliable communication.”

The launch of this feature is coming following a response to mass government opposition and protest in Iran. This spurred the Iranian government to launch an extensive shut down of the internet in September last year,  that drastically limited all digital communication in the country.

However, with Whatsapp’s latest feature, users can gain access to the platform by using a proxy server which acts like a virtual bridge that links them to the internet which may be their WiFi or data from their smartphone provider.

Using a proxy server can help them to connect to the desired app or website when their previous method has been blocked. WhatsApp has further offered guidance on its blog, on how users can use a proxy server.

The WhatsApp blog reads, “Choosing a proxy enables you to connect to WhatsApp through servers set up by volunteers and organizations around the world dedicated to helping people communicate freely.

“Connecting via proxy maintains the high level of privacy and security that WhatsApp provides.

“Your personal messages will still be protected by end-to-end encryption — ensuring they stay between you and the person you’re communicating with and are not visible to anyone in between, not the proxy servers, WhatsApp, or Meta.”

How to connect to proxy servers: According to WhatsApp, Android and iPhone users will go through the following process to connect to proxy servers whenever there is an internet shutdown:

For Android users

  • Make sure you are using the most current version of WhatsApp.
  • In the Chats tab, tap More options > Settings.
  • Tap Storage and Data > Proxy.
  • Tap Use Proxy.
  • Tap Set Proxy and enter the proxy address.
  • Tap Save.
  • A check mark will show if the connection is successful.
  • If you are still unable to send or receive WhatsApp messages using a proxy, that proxy may have been blocked. You can long-press the blocked proxy address to delete it, then enter a new proxy address to try again.

For iPhone users

  • Make sure you are using the most current version of WhatsApp.
  • Go to WhatsApp Settings.
  • Tap Storage and Data > Proxy.
  • Tap Use Proxy.
  • Enter the proxy address and tap Save to connect.
  • A check mark will show if the connection is successful.
  • If you are still unable to send or receive WhatsApp messages using a proxy, that proxy may have been blocked. Try again using a different proxy address.

Note: Use of a third-party proxy will share your IP address with the proxy provider. Third-party proxies are not provided by WhatsApp.

Good People, join me to welcome nine catholic priests from the Catholic Diocese of Okigwe, Nigeria, to Tekedia Mini-MBA which begins Feb 6, 2023. Courtesy  of a generous scholarship fund from David Onaolapo, Tekedia Institute is welcoming dozens of priests, imams, etc to deepen their capacities to run their religious organizations more efficiently.

We thank Rev Fr. Patrick Oluwafemi of St. Patrick USA and Rev Fr. Dr. Chidiebere Obiodu who began the process of funding priests to our program, before Mr. Onaolapo took it to the next level, when he donated $7,000 to our Faith Leaders Scholarship Fund.

As we welcome these religious leaders, we send a clear message to ALL: they will not drop from their Calls to start building fintech apps, SaaS, etc; we simply want to co-learn with them, and hopefully, through some new knowledge systems acquired, they will manage local mosques, churches, etc, better. We’re a very successful school which has found ways to co-learn with dozens of doctors, lawyers, etc; very excited that this has been extended to houses of faith.

The next Tekedia Mini-MBA begins Feb 6; learn more here.

CARDANO (ADA) led in Ecosystem Development in 2022; will ADA hit $1 in 2023? Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is a must-have for your 2023 portfolio, POLKADOT  also looks promising after the 2022 roundup report

It’s that time of year when investors begin to reassess their portfolios. And, while it is easy to get lost in the vast sea of options, only a few safe bets stand out. Snowfall Protocol (SNW) is one of them, a low-cap gem that has continued to make waves despite being in its early stages (presale). Cardano (ADA) and Polkadot (DOT) are two other safe bets to consider.

Cardano (ADA) Led in Ecosystem Development In 2022

Cardano appears to have picked up the pace after being criticized as a “ghost chain” with little development going on. Santiment, a crypto analytics firm, named Cardano the world’s No. 1 blockchain by development activity in 2022. Development activity is important because it usually indicates that new features or products are on their way, which is a price propeller.

In 2022, Cardano reported a sharp increase in on-chain growth as indicated by indicators like new blockchain wallets, overall transaction volume, and new partnerships and collaborations. Furthermore, with the addition of Smart contracts to the Cardano blockchain, DeFi activity has increased. All of this could help to fuel new Cardano momentum in 2023. However, $1 is still a long way off, and many things must go right for this to happen, some of which are beyond Cardano’s control, such as the overall recovery of the crypto ecosystem. 

Polkadot 2022 Roundup Report Has Fueled Optimism in The DOT Ecosystem

Polkadot recently tweeted its yearly roundup, highlighting all of the noteworthy developments in its ecosystem in 2022. Several accomplishments were highlighted in the Twitter thread. For instance, the data showed that Polkadot’s ecosystem included more than 74 parachains, more than 300 dApps, 550+ projects, and 2,500 monthly active developers. Another data published by Messari earlier this month showed that among hedge fund portfolios and cryptocurrency ventures, DOT was the most widely held liquid asset. These statistics show Polkadot’s popularity and dependability. They have also sparked a bullish sentiment, and despite a poor performance in 2022, Polkadot may soon see a rally.

Snowfall Protocol (SNW) Is A Must Have for Your 2023 Portfolio

Snowfall Protocol has experienced rapid growth and has established itself as a market leader in just a few months. Snowfall protocol, a cross-bridge ecosystem, launched its presale campaign during a difficult period in the cryptoverse but its rapidly growing ecosystem has helped it maintain a high level of resilience in the face of massive sell-offs.

Snowfall Protocol is nearing the end of its four-round presale campaign, with the official launch scheduled for February 3. The previous three rounds were enormously successful. The second round, in particular, outperformed expectations by selling out a day early. Furthermore, by the end of the second round Snowfall Protocol had raised more than $3 million, including round one.

Snowfall Protocol also set a new record by selling over 200 million Snowfall tokens in less than two months. In the final round, an additional $100 million is up for grabs, and they are selling quickly.

Snowfall’s unique interoperability function is one of the most important contributors to this spectacular performance. Snowfall Protocol takes pride in being the first cross-chain bridge to allow fungible and non-fungible asset transfers across EVM and non-EVM chains. Snowfall’s dApp, the engine that drives the ecosystem’s success in asset exchange, has been subjected to weeks of stress testing, security checks, and analysis to ensure a secure, interoperable platform.

According to market analysts, Snowfall Protocol is at the top of the list of newcomers expected to surge in 2023. Snowfall Protocol is expected to return up to 5000% to its early investors, and you can become one today. Simply join the Snowfall presale at:
