President Yar'adua To Go On 8-week Medical Trip To Europe!

I hate reporters sometimes.

Abeg, if the man never said he was going to Europe for medical treatment, why write a report saying he is.  Chei.  Reporters, reporters, oh well na you we wait on for news.
UK news, me i no 4 you ohh.  I watched a documentary about you ohh but like i said, na you we dey wait on for news.  When Yaradua leaves fo Europe then we go mointor his reason for his leave. 

Its a sad irony that some months to the presidential election and Obasanjo was on the campaign trail, he called Yar'dua on the phone in public when news surfaced that he was dead and today, he is more of both; sick and going dead.
Like a poster commented here, our leaders do not wire money they steal abroad, they carry the cash on all these dubious excusable trips abroad and Yar'dua seem to be making a lot of these even with his national inactivity. No wonder they said his elder brother late Shehu never trusted his sense of judgment.
Now, we are clearly dealing with a sick president, a lame Vice and power hungry first lady.
Ah, Nigeria is indeed a sorry excuse for a black country; they have everything and lack everything. O ma se oh.

how could one prosper if all he or she sees and thinks is negative?
it's very simple: how are we doing in nigeria compare to 2 years ago? you might not agree with yaradua 90% of the time, but the difference is clear. the governors are more focused and the path to greatness is clearer.
in case you did not know, the number of investors returning or looking into coming to nigeria to invest has gone up by 34%.  and the number of nigerians returning back home has also gone up drastically. something's wrong with you if you can not see anything positive taking place in nigeria today.

I'll not make your weekend any more complex Cre8tivity, however I feel you're deeply obsessed with this man Ribadu. Make sure you go for detox else, you'll suffer from Ribaduism and that has no cure I'm afraid.

Enjoy your weekend, whatever's left.

What else is there to say? I f Yar Adua is doing ok in your eyes, even when he is as sleep as a cobra, what is there to debate? Every nation deserve the kind of leaders they aspires, and you had just prove that point.
Investors returning? Where are this your investors and where are they investing? Too much kai kai before hitting the computer keyboard!!!
By the way, at what period did we had this good old days your were refering that we will return?

I think Yaradua should travel for 1yr if he likes. He won't be missed.

Nigeria: External Debt Hits 4 Billion Dollars - Presidency

Abuja — The federal government has expressed fears over the current position of the country's external debt stock which according to its estimate has risen to $3.76bn US dollars.

The special adviser to the president on parastatals, statutory bodies and inter-governmental affairs, Mr. Braeyi Ekiye, disclosed this Friday in Abuja when he paid a familiarisation visit to the Debt Management Office.

While commending the management of the Debt Management Office for consolidating on the sustainability of the nation's debt profile following its successful exit from the Paris and London clubs of creditors in 2005, Mr. Ekiye said the DMO is a critical agency in the realisation of the president's seven-point agenda.

The special adviser added that the current position of the nation's external debt stock, if not checked appropriately, might relapse into another debilitating debt overhang that the nation experienced a few years back.

The director-general of the Debt Management Office, Dr. Abraham Nwankwo, while thanking the special adviser for the visit, stressed that the vision of the DMO was to manage Nigeria's debt as an asset for growth, development and poverty reduction.

He said the DMO in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Finance had developed borrowing guidelines aimed at providing the framework for effective, prudent and healthy management of public debts to achieve the overall objectives of government's macro-economic policy.

Dr. Nwankwo allayed fears on the current state of the nation's external debt stock, pointing out that it is still within manageable and health levels as much of the debt stock were borrowed from multilateral organisations which are in the concessional windows of some international financial institutions.

He said DMO had developed a template for the establishment of debt management departments in all the states of the federation, adding that to ensure effective public debt management at the state level, developmental efforts at that level must grow in tandem with the federal level.

"Procurement of debts, especially from the domestic market, was not bad; what is critical is the application of such funds which should be put into the real sectors like agriculture, education, power, infrastructure, health, etc to grow the economy," he said.
