adconline:I guessed as much: empty! So you have a copy of a yet-to-be 'approved' budget? You must be some special kind of dimwit; your sponsors should get a refund on your miseducation -- that was a waste! From whence do these kids crawl from? |
Pro-Saraki demonstrators are some special kind of st00pid. |
adconline:Simple request: share a copy of the 'approved' budget . . . you go on ranting and cursing like an 8 year old, but no, you are 'intellectually' hardworking. ![]() |
This is the time to rid your state of them terrorists by force! Go to their leaders and warn them of the impending Armageddon that will befall their clansmen. It is your state, it is your government, it is your name, they are your people -- do something! |
adconline:By the creator, you are no less human than those men out there on the streets, and by all means if you lead a protest for the above ills, history will remember you for it. That said, you can't have done nothing towards protesting power outage, fuel scarcity, and insecurity, but criticize those people out there protesting the very 'genesis'/source of all the ills you stated. There wouldn't be all those wrongs if the senate is an hallowed chamber like it was created to be -- all the monies meant for power, refineries and security but embezzled, passed through the palms of all those men and women sitting right there in the senate. Maybe you should join in in the protest (if you are in the country), maybe we all should. P.S. About the budget for the presidency, wait till we see what's inside, or you have a copy? |
She is an exhibitionist -- she can't help it. |
Goke7:On the money! |
cktheluckyman:You lose the larger picture if you keep focusing on Saraki or Tinubu. This is about the NASS. Have you seen the placards? They are mostly about a corrupt NASS . . . Tinubu's wife is a member too. Even if Tinubu sponsored it all, it is a movement in the right direction . . . what goes around comes around . . . it has shown the people the way -- it will come around to bite later. From whom did Saraki learn how to storm the CCT with tons of lawyers and paid protesters? The people win ATEOTD. Maybe you get it, maybe you don't . . . adios amigos. |
banme1:They fighting for you though, unless you or yours are members of the senate. And of course they wouldn't be out there on the streets if they weren't having it rough. |
You miss the drift and purpose if you think this is just about Saraki; this goes further and deeper than one man. This is a statement by the people against an institution that was meant to serve and protect them, but turned out to be an institution that swerves and destroys them. An institution that was designed to checkmate corruption, but goes on cheering on corruption. All the ills y'all have referred to wouldn't exist if we had an honest NASS. |
. . . just passing by . . . ![]()

SeanDada1:Like I said, "he is doing his job", that's what the ministry of info is for: to tell you want the gov't wants you to hear. It is up to you employ discernment . . . OTOH, the article is based on excerpts from the town hall meeting in Lagos yesterday . . . probably in answer to questions asked, they couldn't have asked him about monies recovered or something similar, and you want him to start talking about an act of terror in far away Enugu that have likely not happened, or reported at the time. Moreover, standard procedure is to approach developing stories with caution, as stories keep changing. Good day to you. |

Why do so called MOG like proclaiming death? |
erico2k2:We all wail (criticize); it's not a competition. It becomes a problem when wailing uncontrollably for both good and bad turns into a habit -- that's not wailing, that's 'piss-poor-nagging', or thoughtlessness if you will. |

That should send a message to the terrorists, it's been too long coming. |
tobimillar:Sounds good, if the timings are perfected to sync. OTOH, widening of the present LA-IB expressway, and a second proposed LA-IB expressway would make for a 'fail-free' scenario. |
Frustration: We do not consume 40m litres/day . . . everyone knows that (30% of our PMS is smuggled to neighbouring countries), why the template is still based on 40m litres a day is beyond me, when we have a customs service, and many unemployed youths looking for jobs. Is it harder/more expensive for the customs service to employ these youths to secure our borders, than paying 'hard-scarce-forex' for 10 million litres to these 'etranger' who don't even respect us, everyday!!!? Or is this a silent agreement between the NNPC and FG and these neighbouring countries? When I keep hammering that we will not progress or move forward without working refineries and pipelines, it seems like some exaggeration, but it is what it is, because without pipeline vandals and with working refineries, we would have stable power supply and would not need more than 20 million litres of PMS a day, which our refineries in full throttle can match. 20 million litres of PMS (not to mention AGO and DPK) wasted on 'gen' and neighbouring countries everyday in Forex, is equivalent to roughly the same amount of Forex the whole country uses in purchasing rice, palm oil, toothpick, Prada, Gucci, cars, cloths, and e.t.c. Doing the math: if we can chalk-off silly imports like palm oil, eggs, rice, and some other stuffs, and also chalk-off over 20 million litres of petroleum products', get the present working refineries up to 50-70%, that technically erases almost 50% of our Forex demands! One stone kills 3 birds: stable electricity breeds production, exports, and more Forex inflow. Verdict: Coupled with smart monetary policies, the Naira will trade at below N160 to a dollar regardless of oil prices! |
carpenter: Most of the kids here don't get it. Too many kids and 'literate-illiterates' with pea-sized brains in this parts. They just react to headlines -- faults of a 'failed educational system' -- you can't blame them. |
What happened to reading, comprehension, and a rational mind in Nigeria? |
Nature129: Most countries import refined petroleum products, and of course he meant exporting refined products -- that's where the real money is! If you read through again, he highlighted progress made so far and vision for the future, what would you have done better in his shoes? |
Kachickwu is working, I mean he's trying to do something, instead of wailing, why don't y'all wailers try to do something positive too -- anything. |
pangea2:Apparently. |
Sowore is a warrior who's fought many battles against all governments from UNILAG 1990, till date. I do not know him on a personal note, but I knew his predecessor (the UNILAG SUG president before him, who was an even more fierce warrior). If you protested against the evil tyrannies of IBB and Abacha, you will appreciate what such men who led and got physically battered and detained sacrificed. Well played, Saraki. |
He is doing his job. |
You need stable power and fuel supply to embark on such projects, or it will be a big waste. |
Too many silly comments in one thread. |
Everything is perfect. My concern is, when the Atlantic project, Dangote refinery, and other massive projects are completed and the '4th' is completed, you now funnel all that traffic to LA-IB express (2/3 lanes) . . . duh! ![]() I heard a second LA-IB super-highway is part of the Chinese projects that was negotiated, would that be done simultaneously, or before the 4th? It has to, or else we're looking forward to major gridlock at the Lagos exit. |
Frustration: I've been screaming this from forever that we do not consume the 40m litres/day . . . everyone knows that (30% of our PMS is smuggled to neighbouring countries), why the template is still based on 40m litres a day is beyond me, when we have a customs service, and many unemployed youths looking for jobs.

modath:Right on time Modath, I was just writing an article about why fall in oil prices is actually the lesser evil here. Meanwhile the Saudis/OPEC have the US where they want them to be already, prices can go up now -- it's a double edged sword for us though: we import 40 million litres of refined PMS alone!!! I was writing the article below: Frustration: I've been screaming this from forever that we do not consume the 40m litres/day . . . everyone knows that (30% of our PMS is smuggled to neighbouring countries), why the template is still based on 40m litres a day is beyond me, when we have a customs service, and many unemployed youths looking for jobs.
