I think the application for this programme has closed. Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks

Kenndall:
Your thread title isn't in tune with this comment you made.
According to your title, you stated that you were going to show how to identify a wife material, but instead, you just went ahead to state an erroneous claim without any proof whatsoever.

Are you even being serious, or you are just kidding?

If you wanted to create a thread to bash ladies, you would have just stated it on your title, instead of misleading the forum members.

Whenever you want to make such assertion, always show proof. Perhaps an experience or something. You don't just open a thread and state claims and expect us to swallow them.

What I see is a man carefully laying his plans and refusing to be rushed into rash decisions. He will move, I suspect decisively, when the appropriate time comes.

In either case time will tell. The key thing is that Nigerians now know the government (APC or PDP or whatever) works for THEM! And if the administration fails to deliver they will be booted out as is right and proper at the next election!

Well I spend a LOT of time in Naija (Lagos, Abuja, Bonny, Warri, Port Harcourt and recently Ibadan) and I have been doing so for 15 years.

If you understand how countries and economies work you will ALREADY have seem some improvements (quicker than anyone would reasonably expect). Only a total naïve fool would expect very much in the first year of any administration in any country. The effects of 16 years or incompetence will still be felt for some time. Internationally the business confidence in Nigeria is rising due to the measures taken against corruption and this in itself will stimulate the economy. Don't worry too much about the exchange rate of the Naira. When exchange rates weaken (more naira to the dollar/pound) it makes you cheaper and stimulates outside organisations to spend money IN Naija. When it strengthens then you can but foreign good easier. Each has advantages and disadvantages. You have to balance them.

The current government seems to be doing better at the moment and we hope it will keep doing so. There is no doubt in the eyes of the world and educated Nigerian that the last few administrations were totally useless and ensured that Naija developed MUCH more slowly than it should. There will of course always be individual instances of something being better or worse but we must take the overall picture.

And of course if APC fail to deliver the expectations after 4 years then you have a chance to replace them with PDPD again (God help RIVERS where the desperation of those corrupt officials was evident to the world) or very possibly with a new alliance or party. In the international community when we think of PDP we sadly think of Orobebe's infantile outburst on international TV (which Jega handled magnificently). PDP MUST shake that image (and fools like Orobebe) if they are to have any chance of being a credible opposition and positioning themselves for any future viable challenge. The damage that man did PDP was incalculable!

Also (like these forums) the elections must be run on POLICY rather than the stupid mudslinging. Even here in this thread and on Nairaland in general there is little argument over rational policy. The debates are simply stating (without support) this is working or this is not. APD/PDP are good/bad useless. Each group simply states their position unsupported, with very few engaging in objective and rational debate.

You have been independent for over 60 years now but democracy has not quite matured yet!

How r u today dear

KoloOyinbo:
Can certainly address the first issue even as a foreigner. Because of a) the removal of subsidies fuel was always artificially cheap in Naija. You should see it in the rest of the world (scary!). b) Fuel in Naija is exported as crude, refined elsewhere and bought back (hopefully new refineries will eliminate this wasteful and disgraceful practice)

Don't know about food. You should see what I have to pay to eat oyinbo food!

Naira exchange rate reflects 16 years of poor economic performance. As the economy turns around (this usually takes a few years in ANY country) it will first stablise and then recover.

As for security it is not an overnight solution. In Northern Ireland there were never more than 1000 IRA with usually less than 300 active at any one time. The most efficient anti insurgent army in the world, the British, took over 30 years to bring a situation where a political solution could be found. You expect a solution in months lol!

Were these answers not obvious to anyone how know how the world works?

Or perhaps like so many it is a case of we will only hear and see what we wish to hear and see!

Caracta:
If the financial strength is there, the father should be able to get off work for a day or two and take his son to the hospital. His wife is pregnant with two daughters to take care of, so I guess we can excuse her. However, that means the bread winner of the house may be unable to provide for his family if he has to get off work for days. I don't think he would agree to that either.

Can we just pay him the wages he would earn in a month so he could concentrate in Tomiwa in one month? But then again, the hospital visits could last several months. I know LUTH. So that option doesn't seem feasible.

This is just me thinking loud.

@tearoses, is it possible to know the days of the week the ophthalmologist at LUTH attend to patients so we can plan towards that? We could even get a Nairalander that works at LUTH and could be our "eyes" there.

Let's not give up on him yet.

PLEASE!!!

Since it has just occured to him he should go and reappoint the most senior staff in SSS and Inec.

People will keep preparing bullshit for you in different ways and you will keep swallowing and saying thankyou.

After spending our 2.2billion to America with all the noise about looted funds recovery...they saw looted funds of over a whooping sum of $140million waiting to be repatriated once he prosecutes those officials...he rather turned back and started screaming Jonathan and his ministers like a mad dog

$182m Halliburton Scandal: Buhari orders preparation of case-file

As President Muhammadu Buhari travels to the United States (US) today to engage President Barack Obama in talks on economic, security, financial and anti-graft issues, it has emerged that he has ordered the preparation of the case-file that would lead to the prosecution of the indicted persons in the $182 million Halliburton bribery scandal.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that the President’s directive followed the requirement by the US government of evidence to show that Buhari was ready to prosecute the suspects in Nigeria for their roles in the bribery scandal before it could partner other European countries in releasing the $141million dollars allegedly looted from Nigeria and lodged in various overseas banks.

According to top security sources, Buhari, based on the outcome of investigations by the panel set up to look into the scandal, is scheduled to tell Americans officials during this week’s visit that all those indicted, including former Heads of State, a former Vice President, two former Group Managing Directors of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, will face prosecution to defend themselves.

To further convince the US officials that the kangaroo trial that took place during the Jonathan administration, which saw a former Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs to the President being arraigned and then let off the hook following alleged connivance of certain government institutions, will not re-occur, the President will tell them that private legal practitioners, who cannot compromise because of past government patronage, will be commissioned to handle the case.

It will be recalled that the recent directive by Buhari to reopen the Halliburton bribery case led to the discovery that the $26.5 million plea bargain money released by the oil servicing firm as part of efforts to shield the company from prosecution was not in any government account.
