Now look at this idiot and tell me why our economy will not fail.

Of all things to worry about this is the most pressing issue on this man’s mind. Trump is fighting for Christians in Nigeria while a pastor VP is having sleepless night over who discovered River Niger.

If anyone still thinks this man is sane please check yourself too.

Vice President , Prof Yemi Osinbajo has declared that it is total rubbish to attribute the discovery of River Niger to Mungo Park.

Osinbajo said people were already fishing in River Niger before Park’s grand father was born.

He made this comment on Tuesday at the ongoing programmed tagged The Platform.

Osinbajo, who harped on the need for Nigerians to promote their own, noted that there are many young persons from this country who have contributed intellectually to the growth of the nation.

“I tell you, it is total rubbish to say Mungo Park discovered RiverNiger. We all know that people where fishing in the River beforeMungo Park’s grandfather was born.

“This calls for the need for us to promote our own,” he said.

According to the vice president, “our business as government is to create more enabling environment for entrepreneurs to do business and create more infrastructure.

“We have to provide more jobs as more people are added to the population everyday.

“Today we are confronted with the remnants of Boko Haram with farmers/herdsmen clashes and ethno-religious conflicts,’’ he said.

Osinbajo recalled that when oil was selling for 100 to 142 dollars per barrel, the budget of Transport and Agriculture Ministries; all the ministries together got 139 billion.

“Today with oil prices between 60 and 70 dollars per barrel, the Power, Works and Housing, Agriculture and Transport Ministries got N560 billion.

“How come we can do more with less income?

“How come we are able to invest in infrastructure. How come we can do the Lagos-Kano standard rail gauge; the Second NgerBridge, with 60 per cent less income than we earned a few years ago,” he asked.

“The job of the builder is not to complain. I believe the solution is in building that Nigerian bridge.

“A bridge that will be built on the strongest materials of all and to excel in our commitment to build a new society.

“A bridge that connects us across tribes; across ethnicity; across dialects; a bridge that connects us across religion; across politics; and across even generations.

“Everyone of us can travel on this bridge. A bridge that rises from innovation and traditions and stands the troubled waters of our past.

“A bridge that can take the traffic of all our best Nigerians and creativity; and human and materials to the destination of our dream.”

I have read and read again and again your stupid response to a great speech but I'm yet to see what or why some unthinking and like-minded people like you are clicking the like button on your lackluster response. Very lazy indeed.

This is commonsense. Use it!

IS MUNGO PARK THE REASON FOR POOR DREDGING OF THE NIGER
Re: Mungo Park Did Not Discover River Niger – Prof Yemi Osinbajo by Nobody: 11:56am On May 02, 2018

Its obvious you dont practice what you preach.


Answer:

Because our debt between 1914 and 2015 was N12trillion

Our debt between 2015 and 2018 is an added N10trillion with more borrowings in the offing.


Now Mr VP, does the debt measure up with the unseen infrastructure you claimed to have disbursed to ministries?

A wonderful analysis!

I know buari can never say something he does nt have knowledge about it. This is one of the post to show a youth as been lazy. If truly you read why he said mungo park never discovered river niger that people were fishing there before his forefather was born is just to discourage lies and encourage our people to believe in what we have.

A lot of unintelligent and lazy youth across the bridge...atimes when one attack Buhari, and you read comments from some youths across the ailes you are ashamed of the group you seem to queue with. Osinbajo's speech today is one of the greatest by any black man, not just Nigerian. Deep and insightful.

I'm forced to believe the op didn't listen to that great speech or couldn't understand what the VP said. This is just one case out of many writeups miscreants twist to generate traffic. It has become a norm because any bad news from the govt of the day sells like hot akara. The social media has a big negative toll on our society. Many are even too "lazy" to check facts, read before commenting.

"People were already fishing on it"

Did they know the name of the river?

All along the course of the river in
West Africa, ppl gave this same river
different names like Nigré, Joliba, Kora, ( bastardized to Kwara), Yoruba, Igbo & delta communities called it
different names etc, without knowing it was the same river.

It was oyibo that discovered its source, course & exit. undecided

A so-called senior 'learned' gentleman
in an esteemed position of authority
making such an ignorant statement.... sad sad sad
