Our lawmakers are funny. Are they doing it coz Saraki is facing trial?

as for me, I have given up in this country. Anybody still hoping it will get better is just having his/her head in the cloud.

SageTravels:
Thank God.


FUTA Student Who Was Reported Missing Has Been Found. See What Happened. Photos

you are on your own ooo. Nairaland don't care. Simples

gbens2000:

TheGoodJoe:

I went through the stuff that guy wrote and I can not see what is a scam.

He said China is taking away competition because in their loan, they will the project and deduct it as payment.

Le Kwa Nu Madu.

If someone is owing me One Hundred Thousand naira and I say that I will do the tilling of his new house and take the profit as my payment.

Please, help me answer, is that a scam?

You know some people just know how to write in good english without the tinniest understanding of things. They are very talented at analysis paralysis

ebubemicky:
you need help

truth is bitter, deal with it.

grandstar:
I am certain this is not true! Makes no economic sense as it will be massively abused

it is the habit of Nigerians to abuse everything they lay hands on, that shouldn't come as a surprise to you.

uduak2016:
Somebody is trying to piss America off by abandoning the Dollar for other currency...no nation has tried it and was successful at it especially in Africa.

let's see how it goes. If we develop Nigeria to self-sufficient capacity, America would have less stunt to pull on our ass.

BiafraBushBoy:
Bubu just satisfied our greedy demand for foreign products!!

Oya let's switch to Yuan till it becomes 1 Yuan = 300 naira, we will find another country to swap with again!!!

Nigerians don't wana suffer but they want to be exporting!!

How is that possible??

actually, that export thing is a good idea but what can we manufacture in mass and export? We hardly export anything to other African countries let alone the world.

You can download bluestack for your pc

no need. Someone already gave a simple yet effective method as recommended by whatsapp.

Austin234:
Could u imagine d economic implication of this in d eyes of int'l world? Dollar has been d world standard currency b4 now, only for Nigeria to make a radical turn on dollar to embrace Chinese Yuan. Of course, China who want to make their currency world standard will readily consent to this. But i fore see grave danger economic wise for any country that folows suit like our dear Naija. Ur guess is as good as mine

This is why China was able to emerge from 3rd world to 1st world because they don't fear the west like you do.

Olayinka777:
Goodevening house, hope we all had a great day? Pls there's an issue bothering my mind. We were operating our business in a popular mall,in which we had an agreement to be sharing all monies made at the end of business day in 50/50 formula. We were running the business there for about 5 years, just last week the manager told me that they enjoyed our business relationship with them over the years that they want to embark on some restructuring in other words they will have to terminate our contract with them. We have vacated the place only for us to find out that the mall has started doing what we were doing, which was our brain child. Is it possible to take any legal action against them?

Welcome to Nigeria, a country of dog eat dog.

agarawu23:
Your headline is misleading....

even though I don't support such headline most times, I love it that way.

bigtt76:
Though it will ease the over dependence on the dollar as the mode of import payments from China where most of our imports come from, it doesn't immediately translate to a stronger Naira. Rather it will depelete our forex reserve since we have to part with some dollars to get the seed Yuan funds to stock the banks. China would not take Naira in direct exchange to Yuan. Except we have enough exports to China to foot the exchange which we don't currently have or the Chinese give us the proposed funding in Yuan but then it limits our spending to China

nope... it's naira to yuan, which is why it will be possible to weaken the dollar a bit and subsequently crash it.

asorocker:
So there is still something like southern Nigeria, I thought the southern Nigeria ended during Goodluck Jonathan era, an era where the south west collaborated with the north to force jonathan out of office for the post of vice president and finance minister.

Now I am hearing about southern Nigeria, please who revived it and when was it revived. The same southern Nigeria where an oba vowed to drown his supposed fellow southerners for voting a particular party.

Other southerners should be wise

My brother, that is why I say we are fools in this part of the country and that is our greatest undoing.

layzie:
I begin to wonder why a serious business man can't keep his cattle in a ranch and provide grasses for them, isn't this even cheaper?

Secondly, I wonder why government should also provide land in all states of the country free of charge for a business man to feed his cattle.

Is cattle rearing not a business? Are they not supposed to have operating costs? Shouldn't I for instance be able to supply them with grasses, if they can't get it for themselves?

Does the cattle belong to govt? Do these people even pay tax? Will govt also provide free land for me in all states if I decide to rear whatever or trade in whatever? Will I have free land in the North if I decide to plant millets in large scale?

Why can't we simply make laws stipulating the right methods of of raising animals, which is ranching in this case. Why do we keep complicating our lives when there are simple solutions.

And we have lawmakers doing siddon dey look. Smh. Can someone pls share the sahara link with their phone numbers, we need to begin to talk to these people. At least, let's know the reason why they think this crude way is better.

Lol... Southerners and their way of handling things in this country has given the North wings to fly. I don't blame the North because they are highly bonded in UNITY. Can same be said of the South?

femijossy:
Used to think pretty girls lack brains, now am the fool

. Lol... change your circle of friends

chukwudi44:
Bros this one is not elite matter!! No community in igboland would agree to accomodate any stupid grazing reserves for these animals!! I bet you bill or no bill,law or no law no one would be able to enforce it in igboland!! Trust me on that

more like it and I would really love such resistance.

Orjioorji:
that won't happen in Igbo land I know reason we don't even have enough land not to talk of given to Fulani.

STORY... Nigerians are all same, the elites know you wont do anything and that is why they have minds to do whatever they do. If is a case where you stone them, I am sure they will think twice before doing anything.

chukwudi44:
Anyone who wants land should pay for them!!! No body would take any inch of igboland to give to these mudafuckers!! I hope the legislators from the south and MB are not stupid enough to let this bill pass into law even if they are that daft the citizens of these regions will never allow it happen!! I trust my igbo peopl!! If Buhari could not even keep boko haram prisoners in a federal prison in Ekwulobia!! He would not dare try to give any inch of igboland to his muderous kinsmen

and Enugu governor signed a pact with same fulanis in name of seeking peace after killing and raping people in their land. Agatu kill took place, nothing happened. They went to Mile 12, nothing happened, they went to warri and another happened. This how you will sit behind whatever device while that bill will be passed and NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

Like said, South are fools.

ALL SOUTHERNERS ARE FOOLS... AT LEAST THE RECENT LAGOS-CALABA RAIL SAGA SAYS IT ALL

redcap:
This is pipe dream,you'll have to source ur RMB outside the bank and deposit to ur rmb dom. Account.have you bothered to check the black market rate,because the last time I checked,every currency traded in the black market will always appreciate whenever$ goes up.

lol I don't use dorm to buy stuffs on line but my naira mastercard linked to my savings account.

I hope this comes to light soonest...

Pidggin:
Ask Amaechi why he cancelled the University of technology in ND? which was a GEJ project, our evil politicians are to blame for this

That is not an excuse please. We have FUTO, FUTA.... these are just examples of UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY littered across the country. Why build another instead equipping existing ones world class standard? It does not end there. When highly gifted students build something, give them an avenue to showcase the skills and then call in someone from say China and discuss better way to help commercials the product into well built finish product with the original creator being in the lead to take his creation to the next level with added knowledge from the Chinese.

That way, gradually, we will transfer the technology to Nigeria and dominate Africa. This is the secret behind China's growth and other Asian tigers.

All we do is just send people to go do Msc or Phd and then come back to do what? NOTHING but to take up jobs and continue getting paid. In the last 16 years of our democratic rule, among all those sponsored on foreign scholarships, how many has added to the growth of Nigeria technology-wise? How many is aimed at technology transfer?

I know some UNILAG student who built HOVERCRAFT from scratch and it was working superbly. Where are they today? In my school, a guy built a device that you can use to lock your car even if it is stolen and taken to Ghana... It will lock it. Where is he today? He was invited for an exhibition and because he couldn't afford flight and hotel bills, he couldn't go. Where is today.? Last I saw of him was in a Church, clapping away his destiny. These are the kind of people that can move this country forward, not those that have been sponsored on numerous scholarships with nothing to show for it for over 16 years now.

Do we have any leader who is thinking in this direction in the current or past tenure? NO! until we embrace building our OWN technology hub in this country, we will continue to be at the mercy of developed countries, as it is currently evident at the rate of even BUHARI travels loll

GIANT of AFRICANT should be our name and not giant of africa.

Pidggin:
Haven't you heard of Innoson and Omatek?

With all due respect to Innoson, as an Igbo son myself, what he does is assembling parts please, thought better than non. Which Nigerian company manufacture engines? At least not when Ajaokuta steel complex is in comatose.

otil1:
When they say 16 years of waste, I believe they pray that ALL Nigerians become 16years old and unable to remember life prior to 1999.

Can APC prove to Nigerians that pre-1999 Nigeria is better than Nigeria at May 29th, 2015? Never!

Given, there have been lost opportunities that should have been tapped. No doubt about that.

But the key issue now is that given the rate of performance of APC-led administration, now is the time to talk about waste.

Or is it not clear to all and sundry that Nigeria has lost the first critical 1year of a new administration?

-Roads paved -zero
-Rails added -zero
-New Power generating capacity -zero
-Running existing power installation -negative
-Jobs -negative (job losses)
-Naira exchange rate - lowest ever
-Inflation rate - highest ever

Meanwhile, the 16 years they like to refer to are the 16 years that ushered in:

-GSM, an empowerment too in the hand of every Nigerian
-ATM, Nigerians now part of global financial system with Visa and Mastercard usable globally (until Buhari came to power)
-Bank consolidation (bye bye to failed bank syndrom)
-Bank recapitalisation, making our financial institutions acceptable all over the globe
-Credible elections (now a worsening indices)
-Self sufficiency in Cement
-Self sufficiency in Rice
-self sufficiency in Cassava
-Self sufficiency in Poultry; all thanks to food security programmes
-IPP that grew our power generating capcity to over 10,000MW. 1st ever.
-Paved road -35,000km by GEJ alone
-Min wage from below N4,000 to N18,000
-new rail projects
-new airport terminals
-New international airports (Enugu, Akwa Ibom)
-Numerous new domestic airports (Asaba,Ilorin,etc.)
-more
-and more

A beg, Nigeria moved forward last 16 years.

As much as I agree with you, by now we should at least be technologically grown to make some machines, tools, electronics right here in the country but power supply has been at a dismal low ebb ever since Nigeria was born and thus, stunting the growth of that sector. Science and technology is the way forward in this country but no government,whether past or present, is giving that a chance.

amtaken:
That's why I like Dele Momodu. He's not ashamed to admit when Buhari goes wrong even though he campaigned for him.


I wouldn't know why you bolded 'did' but that sentence is very correct, in case you are thinking otherwise.


Have a good day.

That's what patriotism is all about as displayed by Mr. Dele. I am also a Buhari support but I do not praise Buhari when he is wrong like you see so many nairalanders do here which is a clearly sycophancy

prince088:
Everyone is guilty. Cos u guys also claim Jonathan is better at any given chance.

If u dont want comparison, don't tell us Jonathan did this and that too

I don't see PDP doing it more than APC. Even when Buhari is wrong, you guys will still mention "16 years" mantra. It's very immature and clumsy, honestly.

OLADD:
The situation is not helped by citizens here on Nairaland and elsewhere who often cite Jonathan's shortcomings to justify apparent mistakes in Buhari's govt. It's appalling and offensive to ears.

even I as Buhari supporter find it disgusting, diminishing and disgraceful.

They won't stop. For 1 whole year : "PDP 16 years of waste" bullsshit. So annoying.

TheGoodJoe:
Every project Buhari signed in China was a hit Back to Back.

we know but look at the source of this news... is that vanguard or Guardian? This is the cause of distorted information currently plaquing the country and why it's imperative deal with false information criminals

jmichlins:
This is something many will NEVER experience in their life and next and yet have the audacity to call my president a dullard and i wonder with their smart brain and intelligence why they will never experience such. Ride on my president fools can hang in pains

as much as I am supporter of Buhari, I can say it's possible if one can get into the circle where major decision makers of Nigeria are part of.

Just be ready to play dirty politics, leak asses, be loyal... how did fashola get there?

Dollyak:
This is part of the monetary transaction war agaist dollar. China seems to be creating a new paradigm for the world economy and paving the way for a global de-dollarization.
This is good for Nigeria in the short term, the long term is where the problem of is.

spot on. Don't fork with China. They have been longing for this and their aim to capture Africa at first... and maybe other continents might follow.

Like you said, I just hope that there is a long term solution in the pipe line
