This calls for fasting and prayers!

Fasting and prayers for what?
For the Nigerian electorate to have better judgement?
Or For us to have better and more intelligent leaders?

I have given up on fasting and praying for Nigeria. All man to his tent. cheesy

We are in deep shiiet. How can Mr president focus only on fighting corruption. Who even told him d recovered money won't be looted by his goons.

Our economy is in shambles and the government is not saying anytin to give hope to investors. Wahala dey seriously.
Whenever i read comments by your likes, it isn't hard to percieve the feeling of insecurity this probe thing is causing 'you guys'. As of March, the value of dollar was speculated to hit around 260 Naira by June/July. So if it is just hitting N260 your brain should tell your Buhari was able to push the D-day forward some 5 months and that's no mean feat given that the factor used in predicting those value has since changed for worse.

Well said BUT CORRUPTION DID NOT START FROM GEJ'S ADMINISTRATION!OBJ IS ALSO GROSSLY AND EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE.ALL PAST NIGERIAN LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE.
I'M NOT IN SUPPORT OF GEJ OR PMB,ALL I WANT IS FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY IN APPROPRIATING BLAMES,PROBES AND JUSTICE!
/
We are clamouring for equity, fairness, transparency and accountability in the celebrated fight against corruption.
Corruption is synonymous with Nigeria. It didn't start with GEJ even though he took it to a new high by intentionally castrating EFCC during his tenure to make looting easier.

So it is dishonorable for his goons to find him exculpable in this rot that Nigeria has found herself in.

Global crude oil pricing is affecting the strength of our Currency. All oil dependent countries from Venezuela to Angola currencies are being tested. The current decision by OPEC not to reduce supply(cut production) of crude oil saw price of oil dip
thereby battering the currencies of these countries. Oil is speculated to get to $20 by last quarter of 2016 (especially when Iranian oil comes into d market) which would lead to a further battering of the Naira. We need to not only diversify our economy but also boost our reserves

Imports are a valid example. However, as far as I know, major importers whose activities are likely to impact the economy, and cost of everyday products, do have access to official rates.

Dude, you want to see this:


CBN Bans 40 Items from Accessing Forex.


The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday officially stopped the sale of dollars for a list of 40 items as it seeks to reduce pressure on the naira as well as preserve the country’s external reserves.


These items include rice, cement, margarine, palm kernel/palm oil products/vegetable oil, meat and processed meat products, vegetable and processed vegetable products, poultry –chicken, eggs, turkey - private airplanes/jet, Indian Incense, tinned fish in sauce - Geisha/Sardines, cold roiled steel sheet and galvanised steel sheets.


Others are roofing sheets, wheel barrows, head pans, metal boxes and containers, enamelware, steel drums, steel pipes, wires, rods, wire mesh, steel nails, security and razor wire, wood particles boards and panels, wood fiber board and panels, plywood boards and wooden doors.


In addition, sourcing of forex for the importation of toothpicks, glass and glassware, kitchen utensils, tables, textiles, woven fabrics, clothes, plastic and rubber products, soap and cosmetic, tomatoes/tomato paste and Eurobond/foreign currency bond/share purchase.

Don't be gullible and politically sentimental.
Too many things just don't add up.
well....we just have to fasten our seat belts cuz it's gonna be a very bumpy ride.
Creating too many enemies,will make them United even if they hate themselves to fight PMB's government and make sure he fails and is disgraced to the detriment of the ordinary citizens.He might seem to be winning the battle but he might not win the war.Not with his present tactics.
"When a mosquito is sucking on a man's testicles,he uses wisdom to kill it and not brute force".
PMB should learn that there are so many ways to kill a rat in a clay pot without breaking it.
Right now,he is doing good short term but creating more harm longterm.

We don't know how all these will play out.

But for sure, not acting at all is not an option.

We must extricate ourselves from mental slavery.

I guess you are advocating that he maintains the status quo.

Only a fo.ol will do the same thing repeatedly and expect different results.

Since Independence Nigeria has been sweeping her problems under the proverbial carpet. That's why we are where we are today. Isn't it about time we try something different for a change? If it doesn't work, history will forgive Buhari at least for trying. Not trying to curb or fight corruption should not be an option because there are no viable alternatives.

You need to fight off your low self-esteem and come up with an opinion. Nobody is going to beat you up. There is no right or wrong answer here. Even among your anonymous peers, you are too insecure to have an opinion. Oh! When men were men...

Thousands of workers have already been sacked.

Many companies will layoff their workers these December ending.

It means many current workers will become jobless from January.

If the affected people are to write Buhari's history, it's doubtful if they will say 'he tried'.

[b] With this disastrous news, get ready for tomorrow's story by Buhari and his goons on Goodluck Jonathan's $980bn loot, all in a desperate attempt to deflect attention from our current economic woes and keep their gullible supporters distracted on frivolities and nonsensical white lies.

If we didn't have a voting public so intellectually vapid, the focus would have been on asking our dear mallam to adequately elucidate on how he so miraculously "Cut down Nigeria's Inflation from 20 percent to 0 percent" as his campaign team so falsely bellowed.
Did he do it with a cutlass?
A few minutes of investigation and fact-checking would have made it clear to anyone that the story was nothing but a blatant lie.
When you claim to be an honest man, but your campaign promises are filled to the brim with unintelligent lies and slogans, it's time for some soul searching.

What's even worse is the fact that this man fought tooth and nail for the presidency for 12 years. 12 SOLID YEARS!
He finally gets there and is as visionless and lost as ever, promising to hit the ground running but taking 6 months to build a cabinet; with his mouth in hyperdrive and his brain in suspended animation.

Shame on this Twitter generation.
I will never be a slave to ignorance.
