Always listing white elephant stuffs far from the people. What about taking our naira to unenviable heights never witnessed before in the history of the nation?

I had A1 in Mathematics and further Maths.. As at now it seems my brain is no longer functioning as I'm struggling to process the information that with all the money claimed to be made we are still borrowing from China.. Please someone should help me understand.. Or maybe my sight is bad cos I also use glasses.

Fahdiga:
All this gibberish doesn't change the fact that Buhari's brutal and bloody regime is the worst disaster that has ever befallen Nigeria. Buhari has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption

can we refer to the current security and economy situation also as broken jinxes?

JINXES BROKEN BY THE MUHAMMADU BUHARI ADMINISTRATION—PRESIDENCY

A giant-sized jinx was broken recently when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) announced a first Net Profit in the 44-year history of the organization. Under President Muhammadu Buhari, who doubles as Minister for Petroleum Resources, the oil conglomerate announced a first-ever profit of N287 billion. Such had never happened before.
But that was by no means the only major jinx broken in the lifetime of the Buhari administration. They abound. And here are just some of them. The list is by no means exhaustive:

Policies and legislation:

*Petroleum Industry Bill signed into law in 2021, after almost two decades in the works. It is aimed at reforming a Petroleum Act dating back to 1969, as well as other supplementary laws and regulations.

*Deep Offshore and Inland Basin (Production Sharing Contracts) Act, 2019, amended for the first time since 1993.

*More than 6 billion dollars of inherited Cash Call Arrears now being cleared by the Buhari Administration, since 2016. More than 3 billion dollars of the arrears (payments due to International Oil Companies) have since been paid.

*The Buhari Administration has overseen the first successful Marginal Fields Bid Round in almost 20 years.

*The Buhari Administration has launched the first National Social Investment Programme in the country’s history. Today it is the largest Social Investment Programme in Africa and one of the largest in the world.

*Restoration of the Federal Budget to a January-to-December cycle, after more than a decade.

*The Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC) was established in 2011, and for its first seven years did not have an enabling Act of the National Assembly — Until 2018 when President Buhari assented to the NCDC Act.

*Nigeria Police Act, 2020: The first overhaul of the Police Act since it was originally enacted in 1943

*Nigeria Correctional Service Act, 2019 - overhauled the existing Prisons Act, almost 50 years after it was first enacted.

*Finance Acts 2019 and 2020 - the first time ever that Federal Budgets are being accompanied by dedicated and specific reform legislation, to support implementation.

*Suppression of Piracy and Other Maritime Offences Bill (SPOMO), 2019: The first of its kind in the entire Gulf of Guinea, dedicated to prosecuting maritime offences.

*Police Trust Fund Act, 2019: First-ever legislation dedicated to addressing the financing of the Police Force

*CAMA, 2020 - the first overhaul of the Company and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) in 30 years.

*Discrimination Against Persons With Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2018: Another unprecedented piece of legislation in Nigeria

*Treasury Single Account (TSA) started in 2012, expanded across the entire Government by President Buhari

Projects

*Itakpe-Warri Rail Line, started in 1987, abandoned for decades, and finally completed in 2020

*Completion of four standard gauge railway projects between 2016 and 2021: Abuja-Kaduna Rail Line, Abuja Metro Line, Itakpe-Warri Rail Line and Lagos-Ibadan Rail Line.

*President Buhari is the first President to start and complete a rail project in Nigeria’s history (Lagos-Ibadan Rail).

*The last NLNG Train project (Train 6) was completed in 2008. President Buhari has successfully flagged off Train 7 construction.

*Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Expressway, undergoing full reconstruction for the first time since it was constructed in the late 1970s.

*Bodo-Bonny Bridges and Road: Construction finally kicked off in 2017, after several decades of planning, and three false starts.

*The long-awaited Ogoni Clean-Up kicked off under the Buhari Administration.

*The Nigerian Navy has this year (2021) acquired its first new Landing Ship Tank (LST) in more than 40 years.

*The Nigerian Air Force has enjoyed the largest investment in fleet renewal in decades, under President Buhari, acquiring more than two-dozen new aircraft since 2016.

*Construction of the first full-scale private refinery and the first privately financed Deep Sea Port in Nigeria’s history both started under President Buhari’s watch.

*Only one Modular Refinery in the country pre-2016. Since 2018, there have been several either under construction or already completed.

*Maritime University, Delta State, licensed by the NUC and operationalized in 2018

*Completion, since 2016, of twelve (12) inherited Dam projects across the country: Kashimbila Multipurpose Dam, Taraba; Ogwashi-Uku Multipurpose Dam, Delta; Adada Dam, Enugu; Sulma Earth Dam, Katsina; Gimi Earth Dam, Kaduna; Amla-Otukpo Dam, Benue; Amauzari Earth Dam, Imo; Ibiono-Ibom Earth Dam, Akwa Ibom; Gadau/Lafia Zigau Dam, Bauchi; Alajue Small Earth Dam, Osun; Kampe Omi Dam, Kogi (Rehabilitation) and Kargo Dam, Kaduna (Rehabilitation)

Nigerian economists and financial experts are patiently waiting for Nnpc Audited Financial statements to be released, this is going to be the Revelation of the greatest book cooking exercise by any group of humans in history!!!! KPMG right now is in a dilema how to manufacture figures that don't exist, Fulani politicians are about to riun this world class auditor

Sirjamo:
PDP Dundees, go and ask your Poverty Development Party why they abandon 13 000 projects in Niger Delta, after collecting 90% of the money. Stop attacking the President that's completing your abandoned projects.

Based on what u have said and ur interpretation of PDP, what's d level of poverty in Nigeria as at today? What is d standard of living of Nigerians today?

sevenhundred:
can we refer to the current security and economy situation also as broken jinxes?

Oh yes. My thoughts exactly

Buharee himself na jinx to this nation
1, Banditry
2, kidnapping
3, iswap
4, boko haram became more active than ever
5, maaaaaaaaad inflation...one purewater nw 20#
6, 1$=530#
7, increased electricity tariff
8, increased amount of fuel and cooking gas
9, killing of harmless civilians by the army and Nigerian police
10, national debt increased almost 60%
....the list goes on and on....so all these yamma yamma wey una dey talk na rubbish...buharee is the greatest jinx.

.... but I've not seen the positive impact of these theoretical achievements on Nigerians, essentially myself.

It is very difficult to market a bad product.. That's all i have to say.

greatiyk4u:



Hide your face in shame
You are scared by fact


Regime of looting and share the money is over and will never come back again

If u say d "Regime of looting and share the money is over and will never come back again", pls tell us what this regime is doing differently. Is it now looting and NOT sharing?

Sirjamo:
PDP Dundees, go and ask your Poverty Development Party why they abandon 13 000 projects in Niger Delta, after collecting 90% of the money. Stop attacking the President that's completing your abandoned projects.

You shouldn't always reduce things to APC and PDP Conflict.

Irrespective of what you think, the standard of life in Nigeria, under Buhari, is nothing to write home about. That's the truth, except for those eating directly from the government pot.

Fahdiga:
What is nice in this incoherent and disjointed lies aimed at deceiving the gullibles like you

Please point to the one that is not true there

Sirjamo:
PDP Dundees, go and ask your Poverty Development Party why they abandon 13 000 projects in Niger Delta, after collecting 90% of the money. Stop attacking the President that's completing your abandoned projects.

Some of the pdp dundees are now in apc with dundees like you. Lets see... amechi present, akpabio present, ayade present, slyvia present, magnus present, el rufai, wamakko, bello, garba shehu.

Mr President you are forgiven.

Lorry load of trash for lawma!

Useless govt of self serving thieves and BLOODTHIRSTY TERRORISTS

inumidun2010:
Give us GRACE to FINISH this REMAINING 2 YEARS oh LORD...

I laugh in Swahili. Very correct

These projects are fairly distributed. Well done.

Jinxes ...hmm
So how has these achievements been able to better Nigeria? Instead things are getting worst as the day goes by. Naira has crashed, price of everything has skyrocketed, killings everyday by bandits, Boko Haram, Fulani herdsman, ipob. Even the ipob that we have now, we never had it like this during the previous government. This government is just after defending their own and deceiving the masses. A woman precisely an Apc member once posted a picture of a beautifully constructed road and she claimed it was constructed by El rufai only for someone from Pakistan after a few days to come and refute the claims saying that road was in Pakistan with full evidence. So how do now believe all this claims. Moreover if we are making such tremendous progress I believe it's supposed to better the country and not worsen things. I don't believe in any party because they are all the same, all I want is real change, for things to get better. Because it not funny out there in the street. people are really suffering

So building EFCC building is now an achievement useless government

Lifestone:

Why not just open a counter thread and tell us all these!

is there a rule that I can't type my response on this thread, however long that response may be?

This is so funny

Much ado about nothing

Imagine the failure called buhari included the Dangote's private refinery as his achievement.

sevenhundred:
can we refer to the current security and economy situation also as broken jinxes?

You know what that means bro

Fahdiga:
All this gibberish doesn't change the fact that Buhari's brutal and bloody regime is the worst disaster that has ever befallen Nigeria. Buhari has destroyed Nigeria beyond redemption

The worst is yet to come

Kudos, our country get spiritual konji, its the jinx he broken
