One thing I observed is that Aisha is represented compare to mama Peace she is fluent and articulate.#repfirstlady#

Did you mean to make fun of the president who didn't know the meaning of inclusive?

From GMB.. No office of the first lady, now we have a globetrotting First Lady!!

Nusaf:
Are u ok? Before you quote don't u read? Read through all my posts and her post then u tell me who insulted religion. Even when she called Islam and its adherents several names, didn't u notice that my response was individualistic? And before I started paying her back in her coins, didn't u read my warning to her? Do u know u can be very annoying? Having read through how she insulted Islam, u are here quoting me for nonsense. And I notice some inferences in ur post which I think I should respond to accordingly. U said talking about prostitution, u know the most promiscuous tribe. Actually some muslim ladies can be promiscuous but u don't compare them with the tribe that travel the whole length and breath of this country and beyond for prostitution. Abuja, lagos, calabar, kano, Italy, Dubai, just name them. How many Hausa Muslim ladies have been killed in hotels, how many of them have been deported from foreign lands? And let me tell u, not all hausa speakers are Muslims cos even some igbos, Yorubas etc speak hausa fluently. If u are not satisfied with this then let's see how far we can go.

How come you completely ignored all the problems plaguing Naija? Underage marriage, child bride marriage, child abduction, female suicide bombing, child illiteracy, 10m kids not in school, Boko haram children soldiers...

So they didn't have this in place before? What UBE do?

The point is the govt has no business selling $ to religious tourists ( Christians and Muslims) when the president said on Al Jazerra "that those parents who can't afford black market rate to pay their children's school fees" should forget about sending their kids to school.
If he could take such a stance why can't he take a stand against wasteful spending?

Nigerians living abroad are the largest source of income to Naija. Last year, they remitted $25bn to Naija, so allowing parents to send money to their kids, does two things- finish their education and come back to contribute or stay their make money and send back.

Just close to that amount for religious tourism is what Dangote got in order to keep his business afloat. He employs 10's of 1000's of Naija folks while religion doesn't. Why can't govt allow other businesses to access those funds at N199?
What the contribution of religious tourism to Naija GDP? Negative, so why continue doing it?
This is not a revenge mission govt, PDP did therefore, we must do threefold. Supporters of this govt voted because of what Martin Luther King Jr said about " the fierce urgency of now", but the political capital has been lost on telling us how bad we had under PDP without making a commensurate improvement to show us how good we're having it. A comparison is based on two or more tested conditions!!

ican2020:
If all Muslim women are like the President's wife, Nigeria will be a better place

And who made u God's spokesperson and avenger?
Why is it that it's only the poor and poorly educate that advise the rich and successful how to become better when in fact the are unable to help themselves??

Why is it that only the MEN are commenting? No wonder Naija average IQ is 68 and if you have to Google IQ, you are part of the reason!!

I just knew that satan will stir the likes of you to discredit the christian faith instantly. The culprit is an islamic cleric so it won't make headline but if it were a pastor,it would hit front page instantly.
Nevertheless,the likes of you still manage to avoid reference to the culprit's islamic clergy to jump at the pastor who bought from him. Why is satan really interested in raising his sons to look out for how to ridicule the body of christ and thus weaken the faith of readers?
Na wah for you

Stop defending stupidity! Title said Islsmic Cleric. Pastors buying cars for 100k and 50k are also culpable! Blame greedy pastors and Imam instead of satan

We need more religion than foreign-trained doctors, engineers, software developers, nurses, accountants, and lawyers etc.. No wonder Naija is devil's experimental lab on earth!!

Orikinla:

I disagree.
President Muhammadu Buhari is not God who can do instant miracles of change.
He cannot clear the big mess of the 16 years of coruption and maladministration of former ruling party, PDP overnight.

He has not even implemented his first federal budget and you expect him to do wonders?
Unrealistic expectations of Buhari are the problems of majority of Nigerians.

The National Assembly tampered with the budget for months to fool him, but he discovered they padded the budget so that their misappropriations of revenue allocations will continue as they have been doing from the past corrupt administrations.

Appointments of federal ministers were delayed, because the new ruling national party, All Progressives Congress (APC) wanted him to compromise his cardinal principles of probity and he refused. He does not want to repeat the costly mistakes of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Keep deluding yourself with their false narrative of 16 years of destruction by PDP, yet he imported them into his cabinet and govt. Amechi, Ngige, Atiku, Audu Ogbe.etc and some governors had ruled for 8 years- Tinubu and Fashola accounted for 16yrs in Lagos. Oshiomole is finishing his 8th ur in office, and he acknowledged that Yar'dua, a PDP president, funded his campaign. He got close to N500m from him to fund his campaign. Rochas, a PDP polictrickian who changed party like underwear!!
Want to go back to 1999? In 1999, Naija had 500k telephone lines, but in 2015, but had 100m lines.
In 1999, Naija GDP was about $200bn, but in 2015, it was over $500bn
In 1999, minimum wage was N5k, but in 2015 it was N18k
1999, no Naija bank offered ATM cards nor had ATMs, but today they're at all nooks and crannies.
1999, No EFCC, and ICPC, but today GMB is using these agencies!
1999, foreign reserve was around $3bn, but in 2015, it was around $30bn with addition $bn in ECA.
1999, GPD per capita was less than $1000, but in 2015, it around $3k
I definitely do not want to go back to 1999 and would want this govt to show me how it can better the record of PDP.. PDP didn't make Naija paradise, but APC must produce at least 30% of these records in its 4 years in order to be on tract to best PDP's record, but so far it has not started. Blaming is no plan and inaction is an action!!

jaso1:
There's nothing ibaka noise will do to change hatred igbo people have for Hausa man. Buhari will ever concentrate his strength on region that will judge his government without sentiment.

F_ucking moronic statement. Let him fix the country for the 97%!. Let dollar be sold N199 to 97%! Let power be available to the 97%! Let Kerosene be sold N45 to the 97% instead of N220! Let petrol be sold N87 to the 97% instead of N145! Let a bag of rice be sold N8k to the 97% instead of N18k.. Cos it would be easier to fix 5% than 97%

A governor that cried like a baby when herdsmens killed his people now feels power to cage people for alleged violations??

Stop! Leave me alone!

Last thing I want to mess with is contagious and congenital idiocy. On your OWn ( Oyo State)!!

vislabraye:
No, I meant that Saudi Arabia as a kingdom is not a target of terrorists. Saudi can breed them quite alright but if they become to violent, Bin Laden, they deny them. How many Syrians did Saudi grant assylum ?

Didn't Mecca get attacked by terrorists last month? They don't accept refugees because they are hypocrites..

AntiIPOOP:
Yes life under GEJ and PMB is not the same for sure, because during GEJ's regime, petrol is not $30 per barrel and there were no economy sabotagers. On the brighter side, "it's better to be wealthy and have less fame than to have fame and be a broke a'ss nigga", what's the essence of paper economy? For the past five years, Nigeria is bla bla bla fastest bla bla economy bla bla, but its citizens are so poor, no security, unemployment, et all....... the list is just endless. And talking of appointments, do you expect PMB to appoint those that he doesn't trust? Or did you expect him to appoint those that want him dead?

Provoking militants, how? What's the work of the military? What's the work of the navy? Why most they give criminals billions of Naira monthly to protect pipelines? He cut off their amnesty program by 70%, they were not ok with it and they decided to take the law into their hands instead of approaching the issue it in a civilized way.

Believe it or not, PMB is the best thing to happen to this country. Enough of all this bullshits and lies, militants bla bla appointment bla bla , paper economy ke, who paper economy epp? abi na paper we go dey chop, for how many years? Haba! Since 2009, Nigeria is the fastest growing economy in west Africa, but it average citizens are living below $2 per day.

Keep "dashing"crumbs of stupidity from the abundance of your ignorance. Your submission challenging Naija GDP is what GMB and his crew used to prepare the budget and are using to borrow. Pleas let it rest!!
A responsible govt should have negotiated with ND or explored alternatives b4 cutting off funding. Now he's back to negotiations, govt should have thought about the consequences before carrying out action

27naira:
I was impressed when I read your analysis.. just yesterday, Bank of Japan unfolded certain economic stimulus package which includes ETF buyback programmes and increased USD swaps but guess what, analysts say that wasn't enough! They expected more rate cuts into the negative territory and an increase in the Monetary Base. BOJ wanted to curtail the rising value of the Yen which is hurting export. They wanted their money to depreciate! We need to drive foreign capital and ordinarily increasing Base rate should have worked but not any more. Investors want to see stability, they want to know their money is safe! That's why after Brexit, German bonds yield moved into negative territory because people were looking for security and not yield. We want our Government to come up with a policy frame work that works and stop peddling rates. As a matter of fact, government need to cut rates! And probably increase provision for USD swaps and borrow from IMF

Good job stating some facts, but in this era of Trumpism and Buharism, folks don't care about facts!!

Yaboski:
Good one some people ar vomiting robish the number of schools that kano have is far abouve your imagination guy

Yet it has the highest number of kids not enrolled in school even though primary education is free? North has about 10m kids not going to school.
Kano produces fewer secondary school graduates than most states in the south even though with a population that's 3x more than almost southern states with exception exception of Lagos.
It has one of the highest female illiteracy rates-
It has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country.

jaggabban:
My survey from all social media: I discovered Muslims always desist from commenting on issue abt xtianity but reverse is the case on the other hand. Any headline abt Islam or Muslims always turn to be forum for abuse by xtians especially biafran. A sign of frustration which no Jupiter can do nothing about. We don't care really, just for the record. Inna din Inda-llah Al-Islam.

because everything is abuse even when we try to have a rational debate. If Xtians are bad, how many times have they beheaded an unbeliever? How many times have killed someone who's not of their faith? How many times have they attcked worshippers or place of worship?

vislabraye:
Interesting thing is that Saudi doesn't not tolerate terrorism. Did you hear them grant any refugee assylum ?

What a fallacy! 90% of 9/11 Hijackers came from Saudi Arabia! Osama Bin Ladin started his terrorism activities in Saudi Arabia.

obailala:
Thank God you referred to yourself, cos I dont remember ever exonerating any governor from the criticism on bad leadership.

Meanwhile, governors have their responsibilities while the FG has its. In my previous comment I was referring to the FG meeting up with its own responsibilities.

Keep dispensing crumbs of your irrational and illogical thoughts from the abundance of your willfully ignorant views. Nobody squandered states' allocation but governors themselves and their cronies!

JayJohnson:
There is no complication in here, just trying to make sense where obviously there is no sense. Your thought is seriously flawed illogical and highly contradictory
It is obvious you are one of the many confused nairaland jobless children, I escape thread to avoid your numerous insults and abuses which has started
You dont wrestle with a pig in the mud, you end up loosing even when you won

Ur post is riddled with rhetoric and emotions. I cited at least 3 cases to support my while you have none to back up your emotional submission

obailala:
Thank you GEJ for at least not squandering the money meant for this and putting the blame on governors.

Only if you held your governors accountable because they collected N48 out of every N100 shared with FG. How come Anambra state can pay salaries, but EDO and Osu cant pay without bailout?? Common sense doesn't reside in our realm of thought!!

Babacele:
which Osun? despite your ugly wishes and propaganda after the 2015 thrashing of PDP by Aregbe, you political 'Osus'(outcasts) will continue to cry while Osun manages her life better than many of una thieving role models.......when it is obvious many of the PDP governors can't even measure up to Osun given same FG allocation and conditions. I'm challenging you now Mr Ipob to mention the values in the state of Osun that Aregbeshola is desecrating......... of course you have the inalienable right of choosing the gentleman of the federal highway in Ekiti as your role model; likes attract likes.

What a dunce without encephalon. The governor is owing workers and pensioners and you are here praising. May your labor be in vain!! May you boss owe you!! May your customers run away with good and money and never return! Type Amen??

No a fan Naija politrickians. To see one justify owing workers clearly shows that Naija soul is dead!! This country has gone to the abyss of desolation! It can never be fixed. Owing working is same thing as stealing people labor. So stealing is justifiable?

As a trailblazer as you claim, why didn't he form his own party like Tinubu and Zik? He was a PDP member until APGA granted him a ticket. He's just a typical Naija politrickian - ready to switch to a new party, behold all things become anew!!
In most major indices by Naija standard, what's the hallmark of his achievement? Tell me areas where he's outperformed other governors? He's just a below average governor who's not afraid to say that he owes his workers.

shamecurls:
Brilliant one!

Diversifying even our oil exploration and exploitation.



Buhari piloting Nigeria to somewhere I can see vividly


Change is here to stay and the future is bright even though we might be on rough waters now.







God bless President Mohammadu Buhari

God bless The Federal Republic of Nigeria

What a display of emptiness! Offered no substantive ideas, but big on hero-worshiping. Instead of callin his hero to rise to the occasion to deliver his problem he called God to take control.. Having no real answer to our issues!!

JayJohnson:
I dont understand your argument! Are these the only people, so what is your point?

because as a typical Naija who lacks analytical ability to process things. Since Rochas is saying that Ekweremadu is unfit to hold leadership position in the senate because of his party affiliation without mentioning that he switched to APC while still holding on to his elected position on APGA platform.
I know it sounds complicated still, Tambuwal didn't lose his position as a speaker when he switched to APC even though PDP still had the majority
Back to Atiku, Supreme Court ruled in Atiku's favour that "he shall not be removed from office nor excluded from political process for switching parties" the only way to remove these Politrickians is to muster a majority vote and impeach them!
Now, does APC have super majority?? Hope it has sunk in? Got it? Gonna get it when I'm sipping champagne while getting a lap dance?!

JayJohnson:
You are on point my brother, I agree with you. But he will not drop his governorship position until Mimiko et al that decamped to join PDP drop their

because current governor of Sokoto, Tambuwal, was an APC member when he was a speaker of the house.
Atiku was in ACN when he was the VP to Obj in 2006/07

Look at who's talking. Okorocha ran on APGA platform, won and switched to APC without dropping his governorship position. Naija Politrickians and their short memory!!

It's too early to start calling names. It's simple common sense. The house doesn't look like a $3m home and the declaration pictures doesn't state the amount.


Or please, show me where in the document it states $3m dollars?

That link shows a sample of a $3m house

Naija always dashing stupidity from the reservoir of ignorance. You aren't paying for a " decorated" house. In real estate, location is key. Boston real estate is freakish expensive. Condos in NYC, Boston, Chicago, And San Francisco are going for millions $$

What are the odds of u getting in motor accident?
It's like saying that having an ATM card can u killed if run into armed robbers
Or What if ur alerts are read by kidnappers?

LuveU2:
Thanks dear.

True, there are very good girls in Nigeria. Everywhere i hve been i hve always been amazed at how good natured, kind and understanding many girls i ve met are. But most are not "chicky" "classy" Just simple damsels with large hearts.

Thing is, most "modern" naija guys would not look at them twice because they aint at par or upto taste. And they miss out! They lose and cry after when one serpent takes her piece from them.

The prob with Nig guys, is that they lack good role models. For we girls, we are our greatest critics, thats why we have more good girls than good guys.

When a guy faults, his guy friends start making excuses for him. They call it the guy code. But they are not helping themselves @ all

Who knows, i may just end up with a nonnigerian even though i still like some Nig guys
Who knows.

No the problem is that most Naija see marriage as a meal ticket and therefore do not want to improve themselves. How come we have most girls in the unis and labor insisting that guys must be well off before they can go out? It's Naija mentality that marriage is an insurance policy against poverty but most girls don't want to pay the premium by working hard and being established.

Comparing Naija girls to Michelle is like comparing Duara with New York City. Michelle was ready and got her things together before meeting Obama. With 2 Ivy League degrees and working in a top law firm in the country, she didnt NEED a man to be successful. Stop this nonsensical comparison!!
