Mbeki:
Benue people are the dumbest people ever. The more they are oppressed the more they become loyal to their oppressors. A typical Tiv, Idoma and Igede persons prefers their generations to be wiped out by fulanis than have anything to do with the Igbos. The Fulanis will kill them and nothing will happen. By 2019, they will still vote in another gambari. Their memory capacity is 1 mb. Fools fight back as men!

Na war for you o, ha KILODE?.
Most of the leadership of the middle belt are part and parcel of the dreaded NEF and the Kaduna mafia, a few contacts and Ghana must go bags, it will be business as usual.
Why carry another man matter for head like gala for God sake? no be BY FORCE to associate with Igbos na.

MrMcJay:
Threats don't win elections, alliances and bridges do.
Until you learn that, leadership may be a mirage.

Don't mind them, the man they labelled a local champion is now their albatross.
The problem is they don't know that Nigerians are WARY of their political iranu and abasha, and all this will count against them when the Igbo presidential candidate emerge.

icedfire:
this Here is the reason why i would personally vote for that cow rearing old boko Haram fulani herdsman from d daura. the suffering can't be worse than this. but come 2023 God sparing us, we would have our first Igbo president. except they want a nationwide crises. Atiku and buhari are the same. they are both Northerners so i see no difference. a vote for atiku means the igbos and middle belt will wait till 2027!!! haba that's too long a time

I hope you are not banking on HATE to achieve this?,
Those who lives in a glass house shouldn't throw stones.
From the look of things AT THE MOMENT, which political party will want to risk fielding THOSE WHO are asking for secession?.
It's not as if Igbo presidential candidates have not been coming out, the people have refused to vote them.
What have changed between then and now?, let me help you HERE, has it ever occurred to you that, even if APC gives the presidencial ticket to an Igbo man today, APC will loose the election.
Let IGBOS stop BARKING OUT ORDERS to other Nigerians, let them learn to start respecting the wishes and the decisions if others, this is the only way out.

Omeokachie:
" Tinubu opted to support Buhari as against Atiku because he believes strongly that Atiku would not honour a single term agreement if allowed to take a shot at the presidency."



Tinubu thinking about his personal selfish interest, packaged as national interest for the gullible.


He could afford for the country to continue on this path of destruction for another 4yrs just so he can have a go at holding the purse strings at the federal level.

Tinubu did not steal Your voters card na, cast your vote for who you like.

02Kebreal:
I'M A STAUNCH SUPPORTER OF PMB...
BEFORE U INSULT ME,I'M PROUD OF MY FOOLISHNESS.

Same here, PHD + RELIGION - fear of God is a very BIG FAILURE.
Buhari is God sent, he came when all hope is almost lost.
They want him out because there is no more free money, he will be there till 2023 wether his haters likes it or not.
The same strategy they took before 2015 election, which failed woefully is what they are still using.
All I want to see are the ground breaking achievements in PDP control States, this could have convince me that PDP have turn a new leaf.
But NO, they will rather come here to downplay the achievements of those who are working, and lay curses on a president who is not even aware of their existence.
They and their prophets of Baal have loads of evil night vigils to keep, for as long as their prayers are targeted at destruction and not to build, they shall not succeed.
They carry Bible up and down but blatantly refused to practice what they read, this is the main reason they have been reduced to the rubbish they are today.
How many honest folks are happy with the sixteen LOCUST and cankerworm years of PDP?.
NONE.
2019 is around the corner, they will know that Nigerians are not stupid, Nigerians NEVER forget.

yboy50:
pmb my lord no going back north west shut down north east shut down .Niger,kware,kogi,abuja,shutdown,south west shut..........south south south east dose region are u enemies rite before u even won d last election we only need 5% from each state ..........no pmb no Nigeria .....ipob no vacancy in aso rock

Free loaders are coming for you.
Their lives has not been the same since 2015.

tonytony208:
I hope we can now see why buhari will win 2019 election?

Don't mind them, they are SHOCKED that some all the RUBBISH they are posting on cyberspace is not having any negative effects on PMB'S rating.

Jjporch:
What is this one saying...
Boko can't try it unless they are ready to die....
Na their regions them fit do all the rubbish.
Lagos love life and them no value lives bunches of cows.

When they are already living in clusters in areas like Oke Afa, Agege, Ijora?.
Are you sure you live in Lagos?.
If not for Fashola's vigilance, the story will have been different, the threat of Boko Haram is one of the major reasons people were like " off with the sitting duck jor "
Anyway thank God for Baba, at least the Boko MADNESS is now restricted to NE.
My brother quits his high paying job in Abuja because he narrowly escaped the bombing twice.
Boko Haram is NOT what you think they are, you better go and Google search the testimonies of a woman and her daughter who narrowly escaped from their camp.

fitzmayowa:
This is the mess 15million Nigerians got us into...

Yinmu, another 20 something millions are waiting to remind you that Nigerians are not done PUNISHING pin din pigs.

whatofyou:
This country is slowly getting to full-time paralysis if we should put all our eggs into dangote's refineries; if the government doesn't know the fundermentals of what a nation ought to be then why not resign! What can one really boast that they have 'giftedly' gotten our government since time immemorial.

What we need is more private refineries and an outright ban on fuel importations.
All these THIEVING oil marketers should release their licences, go and do NEW business.
No be BY FORCE to sell petroleum products na.

fergie001:
This is not entirely true.
There is nothing like orchestrated campaign because the President has been seen to have a soft spot for anything his clan.
Assume the President to have taken a definite stand on the fulanis when they started maiming and killing people in Enugu,Rivers,Abia,Benue,etc.,we would not have generated to this stage,do you now expect him to start arresting people who try to defend themselves?
The President goofed on this.....He was quick to solve the ipob crisis,such affirmative action would have been taken since with the fulani herdsmen trouble,then nobody will think of reprisals or risk arrest/jail.
When a President begins to define herdsmen as Libyans,and support clandestinely their course,people begin to see them selves as 'soft targets' and will defend themselves.

There are no worse oppressors than those who have been oppressed themselves for they will justify all means of self-preservation, including persecution and oppression of others, to the extent of, and worse than that which they had endured. This will weigh heavily on the souls of future generations.(H.E)

Like your last line,the President must be seen to take action.Irrespective of their well-known troubles,the President has never mentioned Fulani herdsmen in any of his addresses,whether to put them in check or sth else,and he diverges any question that has to do with them......he is seen to be a stakeholder in this crisis because of his actions and inactions,and to get this right he must begin to call a spade,a spade and a gardenfork a gardenfork.

There is no justification,whatsoever for anyone to take the life of another..and Nigerians all over sympathise with the course of both the wounded and the bereaved.


Happy New Year,NLers.

Shior.
Buhari became president and boom Fulani cow herders suddenly became terrorists, when Buhari exits the government in 2023 we shall know if its truly the Fulanis that were terrorizing the country or something more SINISTER.

Odingo1:
Is all about tribalism and nepotism, Buhari is from the North backed by northern elite and SW.
So who is left to criticize him, SE and SS that is regarded as enemies.
Buhari will rule Nigeria till his satisfaction.

Enemies? opposition is the word.

GoodGovernance:
A report that talks only about the negatives,is trash.

You mean no positives about this govt?


Can someone swear with his life,to lose ,that there are no overwhelming positives about Buhari govt?


Fuel scarcity in December? How about January to November?

And is that the first time in Nigeria,to suffer fuel scarcity?That for more than 16years we still import fuel,is that what Buhari will fix in 2 years plus?

Can 100% private company,still be using a gov.ng domain?

This is the website of the so called private company:

https://niomco.gov.ng/

8 dead people in a list of over 1400 people,that was compiled in 2015,representing an error rate of 0.6%(less than 1%) and you call that a dead list,when 99.4% are still living!!!!!!!?

Those dead,were they living when the list was compiled,or not?IF JAMB releases exam result today,you do not expect some dead persons?

And what will JAMB do? Release the result as it is and replace the space of the dead later?Or start searching for the dead, before releasing the final list?

2018 will be gloomy for those who are blind and visionless.

But for most of us that can see and with vision,all economic indices point to a more prosperous Nigeria and Nigerians.


I beg close this thread.

SMH

Please don't ask for this thread to be closed.
Let them come and tell us more stories.
An oloshi who always complain about Buhari like them is owing us 2.2 m Naira, yet he cruises around in a 30 million naira Jeep.
He blamed Buhari for his inability to pay what he owes but still managed to celebrate Christmas at Bahamas.

Kemperor:
He is just saying it but behind the door, he and all Hausa/Fulani don't want restructuring....

The North has been a leech to this country since 1902... Nigeria is still an underdeveloped country because of the North... The North has never produced a good Leader and yet they say they are born to rule.... They didn't tell their creator to give them the understanding, knowledge and wisdom to be a leader... Just love for power without any sense of development in all ramifications.....

Restructuring will show the world that the Northern part of Nigeria is not only the reason for the country's woes but also how primitive they are....

I hear you, the present and past Governors and Local government chairmen of your State are imported from probably Sokoto.
Make una restructure, regionalized , rebrand, repackage, disintegrate, regroup, realign and finally beg white to come an recolonize.
As LONG as you people will rather bail out, to go constitute yourself into nuisance in another man's land, instead of holding your elected officials by the JUGULAR to force performance out of them, you will still be speaking political JARGON in the next 50 yeas.

ImperialYoruba:
Thats what you did in 1966, ruined the working arrangement. Its why we are here now. Ibo ought to recuse itself from all debates on rearrangements. You have done enough damage and your inputs cant be relied on for solution.

You no go leave these frustrated people alone?
Any man who thought of himself as being smarter than others and decided to rub it in, will eventually end up confused.
This is precisely what is happening to these people at the moment.
They will have to UNDO a lot of RUBBISHED they did in the past.
Karma is indeed a bitch.

If only we have good movie producers in this country, this is a block buster.

Justiceleague1:
yorubas will also not forgive Zik for chasing a certain mr Alimi fear fear Afonja away from ilorin and they also not forgive Zik for installing an emir in yoruba land ilorin.

Pathetic.
Well,maybe you wanna maintain ur 2017 Zombie record this new year.

Undo what your Grandpas did and stop wailing.
Enemies of progress.

bla bla bla bla...ever since APC and Buhari won, tell me, be honest, have you built a new duplex

After toiling under the scorching sun to vote your Lord and savior into power, what have you achieved so far Oh I forgot, Time Magazine just published your name as the richest man in Kenya, congrats, keep voting while others keep prospering with or without voting

This your emotional outburst will not make me go back and vote the LOCUST and CANKERWORM party.
2019 is around the corner, I and my friends will still vote for Buhari.

humilitypays:
nobody is talking about allegiance here. Of course Yorubas don't need Igbo allegiance likewise Igbos don't need Yoruba allegiance. This is well understood especially after the scar of the civil war which is why sane minds are saying the best thing to do to Nigeria now is to divide it or at worst, return back to regional system of government so Nigerians can coexist as independent regions with each region being solely in charge of their political affairs and economy because the national political hatred still live in our hearts directly or indirectly, but when this topic is raised, same Yorubas saying they don't need Igbos will shout and call Igbos name for wanting to go their own way, na wa o

Its a crazy situation but if Jews in midst of their enemies are prospering and doing exploits, then Igbos will continue to prosper no matter the hatred, so relax and enjoy the new year breeze

See them, be careful what you wished others ' cause it just might come back to you.
Awo ask for secession clause to be included in the constitution of Nigeria, Azikiwe sabotaged it.
Agolo iresi ( Aguiyi Ironsi ) abolished regionalism with his obnoxious decree 2.
What about the creation of the mid west out of Western Nigeria? was it not born out of the need to destroy the growing economy of Western region under the leadership of Awo?
Okun people and other Yorubas in former Kwara State will NEVER forgive Azikiwe, for selling them to Malo.
The Biafra soldiers invasion of Ore was a failed attempt at colonization of Yoruba land.
All these were HAPPENING when Yorubas NEVER have any ulterior motives against Igbos, the question is, what is Igbos obsession with Yorubaland ?
Your people mistook Yoruba's silence for stupidity?
Your people secretly nurse the ambition of ruling and subjugating a people who were running a parliamentary system of government, even before the coming of white men.
This is their greatest undoing, Yorubas see these as egbinrin ote, " evil plots " and decided to organize themselves without giving anything away.
Unfortunately, for your fathers, Yorubas have their own ways of nipping nonsense like this in the bud.
Better luck UNDOING what your Grandpas had done.

humilitypays:
First time Pa Saint Buhari is saying the truth.

When it comes to religious tolerance, Yorubas are the best, followed by the South south and Igbos. Northern Nigeria is a disaster to Nigeria in all areas of life.

The only problem Yorubas have is they can betray their friend in times of trouble out of fear, and they support evil out of fear and in order to gain politically and economically and I wouldn't blame them on that.

Also when it comes to being peace loving and accommodating, Yorubas are also great at that.

Only few Yorubas are fearless and can stand by you when fire burns, e.g. Prof. Wole Soyinka, Fella, Fajuyi (blessed memory), etc....but generally, Yorubas are fearful and liverless, another reason why they are peaceful and tolerant.

The major problem Igbos have in Nigeria is scar of the civil war....they no longer trust the north and the Yorubas when it comes to national politics, but individually, Igbos are very good with Hausa, Yoruba, etc but during politics, Igbos know Yorubas will sell out and Hausas must bring their dominance nature and bloody nature too.

One way to reunite Nigeria and solve most of our national issues is to bring sincere unity by making Igbos vital part of Nigerian leadership not just by zoning presidency to Igbos but first start appointing Igbo service men as service chiefs...e.g.

Chief of Army Staff
IG of Police
Comptroller of Customs
Chief of Air Staff
Chief of Naval Staff
Chief Judge of the Federation
Etc, etc....


If we start to do all these ensuring political appointments are made based on merit and not based on tribe and religion, then every tribe will stop clamoring to produce president and tribal and religious politics will disappear with time.

But whereby you appoint only your tribesmen, your religious members into key positions, then tribe and religion will continue to be a defining factor in Nigerian politics.

So Saint Buhari start the change this year by reshuffling your cabinet and making it detribalised from what it is now.

Oshi oro, there can NEVER be peace in Nigeria until every tribe in Nigeria becomes SUBSERVIENT to the IGBOS, quit the chicanery.
But the beauty of it all is that, the me, myself and I tribe of Nigeria, is now known for who and what they are they are, thanks to nama de cownu.
WINING and dining with a killer party like PDP to run the country to the ground and still having the effrontery to attempt to destabilize the country.
2019 is around the corner, gather your inconsequential 99% vote and give them to whom you like.
Life is input output process, omo o se, omo o je SIMPLE.

This last Saturday, a woman who came to the nearby mosque to solicit for financial support to complete her house rent, shared a beautiful story with us in my store.
This Moslem woman told us how she also got support from Christians.
She said she went to a Redeem Church where the young pastor prayed for her and also blessed her with 10k from the Church welfare purse.
She said three Celestial Churches had also promised to assist her with something no matter how small, in January.
They all knew she was a Muslim, it's not as if they don't know, she said she normally stood outside the church to speak with the ushers.
I asked her why she never entered the Churches, she said she can't enter the house of God without performing ablution.
She said her Land lord sold the house without the tenants knowledge, collected rent from all the tenants, despite knowing her situation as a widow, and a petty trader with three children.
They were given three months to move out, which expires in February, this was why she was asking for help.

hardywaltz:
Yaradua inherited the highest ever External Reserves ($50+ billion) and a health savings in Excess Crude Account.
Prof Charles Soludo as CBN did what every CBN Governor after him did "backing up the Naira and depleting the reserves".

So ideally we should be thanking Obj for saving us from the first recession.

Jonathan inherited about $45 billion in External reserves and billions in Excess Crude Account however when he was handing over the External reserves had withered down to $28 billion despite GEJ having record crude oil prices throu out his regime.

Today our external reserves is standing close to $40 billion which is why the Naira exchange has been stable.

The price of Garri has also decreased drastically if u tell the truth.

The problem with the country is not only the greedy politicians but the unintelligent and spiritualy BANKRUPT citizens who are easily pushed around.
The few of us who understand that there is no short cut to good economy, must rally support for this government, so that the tiny sparks of light we are seeing now will become great flood lights.
God bless you bro.

Flets:
You agree there was a Zaria massacre
You agree humans were killed including youths and teenagers
You agree these dead youths presumably had parents

Now a parent comes forwards with the story about his massacred children...... pls what is cock and bull about the story?

Fools everywhere!!!!

I wish there were more of this in Kaduna and the entire North, everyone is afraid of these illiterates who called themselves HUSALAS.
I was born a Muslim, now a Christian, my people are the best kinds of Muslims you can chill with.
Islamic fundamentalism should not be allowed to prosper in this country.
Islam is a religion of peace, why are these miscreants disgracing their fellow law abiding and God fearing Muslims?.
God bless the NA for setting the people of Zaria free from the hands of THESE RELIGIOUS MISCREANTS.

DrayZee:
I had admission into FUTO. I rejected it and did an A Level programme in Uniport, then gained 200 level admission into Mechanical engineering. I still rejected it and went private.
And most private universities release their admission lists before public universities. By the time the public universities are admitting students, their counterparts in private universities would have even matriculated or started exams. So what are you saying?
Most of you don't even know what you're saying. You believe everything people tell you.

They don't know that graduates of private unis are getting good jobs because of their parents status in the country.
Imagine a graduate of CU, AU, BELLS or PAN AM hustling for jobs.
A friend told me about how two girls who lives in her compound got jobs and eight months later, the bought their own cars.
I was like what kind of jobs could that be?, more over which university did they graduated from?.
She said CU, she said all their friends who are also students of CU are now employed.
Even the woman said if she could raise enough money, her girls too will school at CU.
My daughter is currently at Bells and I'm happy about it, I cannot allow my child to past through what I passed through, especially the accommodation situation and the ASUU palaver.

For Buhari na promise we go chop? We are tired for all these promises. 2yrs after all we have are promises and blames.
2018-Blame pdp for increase in rice and beans importation - Buhari

But 16 years earlier it was all COOL AND COZY right?.

progress69:
In the face of the recession Nigeria is currently coming out from, there have been several attacks on the current administration.

Here are 5 indisputable facts before the current government came into power. Recall that as at Dec 2014, oil price was still above $64/barrel.

1. 27 state governors were owing back log of salaries as at May 2015 when this government took over hence the bail out funds approved for governors. Despite this bail out funds, many refused to meet their obligations.

Buhari in ‘bailout’ meeting with governors- June 23; 2015



Why have Governors refused to pay salaries, allowances in spite of bailout funds? - Dec 30, 2015



2. Federal Government was borrowing to pay 2015 salaries.-May 6, 2015

Nigeria borrows to pay salaries with cash crunch worsening. (Vanguard)



3. Oil marketers were owed billions, led to a fuel scarcity that paralyzed Nigeria, even banks were closing before time, telecoms operators were sending texts about expected disruptions (never in Nigeria have this happened until 2015)

Nigeria fuel shortage cripples businesses, banks and flights - 25 May 2015


4. Okonjo-Iweala who many people in the opposition believe would have done better or saved the economy warned of tougher times as oil slipped low to about $76.

Brace for tougher times ahead, Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians -NOV 2014



5. Falling Foreign Reserves

Nigeria’s foreign reserves drop to $29.13 billion



With the above facts, every sane discerning mind will see that Nigeria was already in a mess before the change of power.

The question everyone should be asking now is where are the infrastructural developments that can justify all the money Nigeria made in the past 16 years of PDP's rule particularly in the last 7 years of PDP's rule when Nigeria made alot of money from crude oil sales?

The question should have been, why did Nigerians allowed PDP to rule for 16 years despite the OMINOUS SIGNS.

Stingman:
The question again, in case you have derailed...

Why don't you want out and rule yourselves like your cousins in Port Novo? Remember they have light and not queueing for fuel every Christmas...Why do you love one Nigeria...the way it has been? That is the question.

This is a question for your Grandpa Azikiwe na.
So you don't know that Awo asked for secession clause to be included in the constitution but your Grandpa rejected it.
Your grand pa CANNOT see beyond his nose, so he connived with Malo " Sardauna and Balewa " to frustrate Awolowo's effort.
Awo had since schooled his people that NIGERIA is a mere geographical expression.
He though us to fashion out our own salvation, for which never do wells like your Grandpa labelled him a tribalist.
Let me help you here, advise your USELESS senators and reps to FIGHT for secession clause to be included in the Nigerian constitution.
Don't wait for Yoruba people, Yorubas were already prepared for what is happening now since the days of regionalism.
Our leaders of today were only building on AWO's foundation.
And don't even think about starting any USELESS war ' cause as it was in the beginning, so shall it be in the end.

oooduancalmdown:
Nobody is developing Yorubaland. Yes you right. A lot of Yoruba people are against Nigeria disintegration even though they aware the country won't progress. I believe ignorance is the problem. Also, no Yoruba politician will support oodua republic. These are the people that can help us split the country peacefully. Yoruba governors and powerful politicians can expedite the process in declaring a seperate oodua republic, but they won't because they are thieves that care for their family alone.

Anytime they failed at breaking out of the country, they will blame Yorubas for their failure.
I guess your useless governors and elders are YORUBAS, anyway don't throw your ARTIKULATE garb away, you might need to brand it IPOB all over again after the election.

kettykings:
A good Number of the funding for projects in Lagos and Ogun where attracted by Igbo businessmen who chose to expand , diversify their businesses in that Axis , one of the largest buscuit factories in Ogun is owned by Igbos when the figure is broken down there will be rantings but these folks

Am an Economics student

PMB is better Manager of Resources ...

There things that PMB is doing, it will definitely reflect in the future...

If PMB is voted for 2nd Term. The rate at which economy growth of Nigerian will boost will be overwhelming

The ONLY reason why Buhari is hated is because of his FRUGAL economic approach.
If Buhari makes it back in 2019, our RESERVE should be hitting close 75- 85 billion dollars by 2023.
The future is bright provided the people are ready to be patient.
The majority of the civil servants of Lagos state, who were living large today, were virtually living from hand to mouth because Obj withheld the Lagos state federal allocation for good two years.
If it doesn't kill us, it will only make us stronger, the bitter politics played by OBJ then, was the REASON for the IDEAS that made Lagos what it is today.
TINUBU could NOT have succeed WITHOUT the PERSEVERANCE of the people of Lagos state.
It's been very tough no doubt, God will help us.
