Seriously...the number of NITEL subscribers never passed 400000 at any time in its history.

Nowadays we have GSM companies with probably at least 15 million subscriber bases.

which nitel was not earning enough cash.mtn,glo,air tel were all paying to use nitel mask initially also nitel was buoyant such that they were paying their salary without fg not until those thieves obj and atiku sold nitel to pentascope,then transcorp.all the proceed from the sale was squandered by them.any nitel staff will always rain curses on him

The height of hypocrisy in our nation.




SMH.

Ziggylady:




The stench and menace buhari/APC are on all fonts necessitated the need for a character like Atiku to be an option...So many people i know off-line are willing to grudgingly line up behind Atiku if that will ensure the plague called buhari/APC are voted out..

Besides most Yorubas like you did not vote for buhari either when he vontested the first three times,calling him all sorts of name,but because of your parochial tribal interest via Tinubu and Osibande,he is now the best tning after sliced bread

You lots hypocrisy has no part two

OBIdiently Atikulating in progress

True sis

When they have poor service nko. I remember I used to queue at phone booth to call my Aunt in Kaduna, after that I remember we bought NITEL card that you just insert in phone

When mobiles came it was stupidly expensive along with mtn lines. People bought it because of the quality of service they provided


My point is some people ate NITEL, corruption killed NITEL. There was a time when yiy had to climb rocks or trees for network to make calls


These days 4G is our portion even in Kaduna villages


Let's call a spade a spade

Was Atiku vice president in 2015? I'm lost here

So....did APC not call Atiku an Asset in 2014...what are they calling him now? Abeg this is no news.

It shows the guy perhaps has understand what actually happened then...

Why is atiku not ever indicted?

People have not answered this question but they keep on calling him a thief

Atiku is a smart person..we need such smartness at the helm of affairs in this country

Not some incompetent Sudanese! Lolzzz

Tune to CTGN now channel 409 on DSTV AFRICA LIVE, Nigerians and INEC official are been interviwed serious ommission of names, voters card not printed for some people, majority of people complaining are christians ..Tune in now

Nigeria is ducked up, APC presidential candidate is a thief and dictator, PDP presidential candidate is even worse. Where do we run to, o GOD help Nigeria.

The best thing for Nigeria is to divide the country let everybody rule their self.

seunmsg:
So many of the current Atiku supporters know the truth about the PDP candidate. Sadly, selfish interest is why they are all supporting him. Even Tonyebarcanister of Nairaland was once a critic of Atiku's candidature. Today, he's Atikulooting. It is left for those of us who put Nigeria before selfish personal interest not to allow them have their way. We must never allow them drag us back to the "share the money" era where resources of state are shared among corrupt PDP members.

Many who are rooting for Atiku know he is a crook. They have never refuted that! Even here on Nairaland!

Unfortunately for you isn't Atiku's crooked ways arent't the issue but Buhari's perceived competence or incompetence.

The question you should ask yourself is how has Buhari's economic performance been? This is the primary reason fueling their dislike for the man

Economic growth under Buhari has averaged 1% yearly over the past 3years if the 2.6% decline in 2016 is factored in

Growth rate in 2017 was only 1.81% and government forecast it to hit 3.01% in 2019. Non government forecast project only 2% economic growth rate however

So is a 3% economic growth rate good or bad?

Nigeria's population is growing at 2.5% per annum. That means a 3% increase in the economy will translate into a real economic growth rate of only 0.5% in the per capita income of people.

For the economy to grow fast enough to create enough jobs for those entering the labour force annually it needs to grow by 7%. That means a 3% growth (which forecasters have argued is even too generous a projection) is far from creating enough jobs for those entering the labour force yearly. That partly explains the growing unemployment rate over the past 3years. The decline in GDP by 2.6% in 2016 caused a severe recession and the closure of large amount of companies and the loss of millions of jobs. This accounts for the rest

Even during the Abacha era yearly economic growth was better. The country averaged about 2.5% yearly.

It is the poor growth performance and the suffering and poverty associated with it that has left the people seething and believe he is incompetence.



From 1999 to 2013 the economy grew by 6.7% on the average yearly despite high levels of corruption.

People were expecting far better results from Buhari but the complete reverse has been the case. The Naira collapsed from 200 t0 360 (One time hitting 550) prices of goods have almost doubled and unemployment rate is skyhigh

I want to ask you a question. Why did the economy do so poorly under Buhari? Was it because PDP had left the country in such a bad state hence he couldn't perform. Is the present bad state of the economy the price the economy has to pay to get things right after the PDP years?

The truth is sadly is no.

The economy collapse was caused by Buhari's pegging of the Naira at 197 to a $1 upon assumption of office in 2015. This led to severe foreign exchange scarcity that deprived companies of needed raw materials and capital goods that led to the closure of many and eventual;ly a recession

Soludo Utomi condemned the peg. Lamido Sanusi was so unrelenting in condemning the peg that the FG said they won't join issues with him

Go through the list of threads I created and you'll see that of Sanusi complaining about the peg

Though the Naira has been devalued since then, there's still a huge difference between the official rate and the parallel rate which simply encourages round tripping
