Chai! I don't blame you!

Your parents that raised an ill-bred and uncouth youth!
I knew your next move will be to involve my parents but still I don't care.

It is typical of those of you with the mark of the beast. Now who are they?

By their mark of the beast, you'll know them. Always quick to anger and welcoming to violence. They are slaves to one angry blood thirsty nymphomaniac prophet that cuddled their brain with one terrorism handbook attributed to one dirty sky god. Peace have never been near them.
These people with mark of the beast on their temple are horrible, if their terrorist tendencies ain't enough, they now want to cower the entire populeuse with intimidation.

You people and violence eeeh! Especially when your bedwetter prophet mohammed and nymphomaniac paedophilia allah is involved.

We all know the chief rapist that even printed a handbook for violence and terrorism. We all know that the idiot mohammed prophet died from poison that he ate while eating to rape the jewish under age girl. Your mohammed died like a rabid dog and was buried where hungry pigs exhumed his decaying corpse and ate almost half of his body, it was written that the sound his testicles made when the pigs were chewing the gonorrhea and syphilis laden balls was kuru kata, kururu katamkantaka...
He died like an 1mbecile and a dog with spit gushing out of his mouth as a bastard son of a LovePeddler from medina.

It's okay to borrow, even the first world countries hav some international debt to pay...

But if you gonna borrow , do that and move that money into the economy

Don't share the money among yourself...

When oduduwa and Biafra finally become a country

The rest of Nigeria citizens will suffer for decades... because not a single country you borrow from will grant you a debt relief angry undecided

We dont av any need to borrow

Point of correction Nigeria is a rich nation that has mismanaged its common wealth and is still currently mismanaging its common wealth.

Borrowing money to pay back more borrowed money that will oblige you in the future to borrow even more money doesn't sound wise. Because it isn't

Oga I can see you are a good muslim, and I love good muslims. Good muslims will live out the goods of Islam. No religion is void of evil including christianity and Islam. It now comes down to the individual in question.

All these na cruise, no too take this life serious.
Am more of a spiritualist than religious, I have my one to one encounter with my God who I am 100% submitted to and my God loves me 100% ly for that.

Which will bring me to this good conclusions,

I feel joyful from within whenever I remember that everybody will taste death.
Rich, poor, white, black, privileged, less privileged, beautiful or ugly no matter who you are death is the end of every man.
Death is victory over strive, strife, stress, envy, hustle, bustle, sorrow and agony.
When we die we rest.
We should only pray not to die painfully.

Isn't that the best reason to scrap the NASS, and only have part-time lawmakers or have full-time lawmakers who are ready to represent the people for a pittance?

Re: Ahmed Lawan: Nigeria Poor, Option Is To Borrow by Nobody: 11:13am On Jun 25, 2021
Harsh truth.

Now let us be honest, there is a lot that Buhari could have done to improve our economy

1) Remove subsidy on power and petrol, which would actually attract investment, and money in both sectors, and even jobs.
2) End illegal mining, and thoroughly regularize mining in this country, and make sure every mining concern is paying their bit to the treasury
3.) Actually fight corruption...ACTUALLY FIGHT CORRUPTION
4) Incentivize mechanical farming....so that we can get back to the top of the cash crop totem pole like we were once upon a time.

But the truth is, we are a POOR country...and even if Incompetence APC did all the above, it would still take time before we see the benefits.

Meanwhile, oil is very low...and over the last 7 years has dipped below $40 twice, if not more. We need oil at $133 right now before we can earn a budget that can sustain us. ( And it is even better...in 2017 it was $139, IN 2012, it was $122...which is why GEJ took loans, for those of you PMB fanboys who love to complain about PDP loans).

t the end of the day, it is either loans....or the government TAXES everyone at rates of at least 40% . And I mean EVERYONE...not just the 30% of taxable population that pays taxes right now. EVERYONE...including the 60% of people who work in the informal sector.


P.S This is not a defence of APC. This is a statement of the problem we face right now, and we have faced in the past (from 1982-2006)

P.S 2: Also, this shows that the Senate president is admitting that the government has failed in devising alternatives to borrowing. The problem though is that all the alternatives involve belt tightening...not very popular with voters.

Define Brainwashed?

A Christian can choose to believe Jesus is God, Yahweh is God, Holy Spirit is God. Yet they are one God. Death can kill Jesus.

The Muslim God is Allah who is one, not divisible in to three persons like the above. One is One. Allah created death and all things and all things is subservient to Him only.

Others too have their own definition of God and you may have yours.
Re: Ahmed Lawan: Nigeria Poor, Option Is To Borrow by Fronesis: 11:34am On Jun 25, 2021
No, the option is not to borrow. The option is to reduce expenditure, increase savings and investments. Monitor and control expenditure and eradicate wastages. Dull leaders are always reacting to manage the economy by borrowing. But wise leaders who doesnt want to eat today and sell the future of their children will borrow and still embezzle what they borrowed and make the future suffer.

Moreover, why are we poor today? Because foolish past leaders refused to save the future. If they had invested in building more refineries and diversify the economy by investing aggressively in Agriculture, manufacturing and initiate a zero importation dependent economy, we wont be suffering today. Sadly, foolish leaders of today are still going around implementing thesame foolish strategy of the past leaders; building road rails that has no direct impact on the vast citizenry, implementing white elephant projects. May God help us.

He went to ask Buhari how long he would be away in the UK for his medical tourism so that they won't have to invoke the 'doctrine of necessity' again like David Mark did for Jonathan in Yar'Adua's absence.

Exactly

If the government stopped borrowing....the only option left is to raise taxes. Not a popular move at all

I hope you all can see now that Buhari is not the only problem in Nigeria, the cancer that calls itself the legislative arm of the government is as useless as the p in psychology. The governors, the reps, judiciary; in short the country is not poor just remove the r and we can all agree the country is full of poo and of course what else did we expect to come out of a sh*thole?
