Two people that should have never been married. Fashanu is a well-rounded and sophisticated individual- a global icon/celebrity of his era while Mrs Igwe is just a local Naija chic who happened to marry Fash. She just wanted to show - look at who I'm dicking now!

and fuel tanks should travel in the night

U go to filling station to fill up in the night?? Why is it that it's only on Naija good roads do I see things like these.. There is nothing like failing of breaks- drivers just drive with worn-out break hoping on luck!!

[color=#150000]After introduction and you start cohabiting with the girl and she spends countless nights at your place, warming your bed at night, cooking and cleaning, etc, in fact, acting like a wife to you. . . Tell me why you shouldn't pay her fees. . . Just give me one moral justification. [/color]

because na u be her father?? U can buy her family a house as well

Always blaming everybody but himself.
Chibok girls missing-someone just sabotaging ur govt.
BH- a ploy by ur enemies to sabotage ur govt.
Depletion of foreign reserves- governors are to be blamed because they demanded for ECA to be shared.
ASUU strike-lecturers are too greedy and hell bent on sabotaging ur govt.
Phone with King of Morrocco that never happened- somebody was lying and wanted to smear my govt.
Subsidy Cabals.. They wanted to sabotage my govt but gave additional 90 licenses to them to keep sabotaging us.. Ifeanyi Uba and Otedola are my sabotaging pals.
Excuse galore coming to an End in 48hrs

Another exercise in futility!! Another way to empower his looting thugs.. They will be dissolved by next week when Wike is in charge.

kropotkin2:
you are talking trash! Tinubu enters and exits the US at will, in fact he was a special guest of the democrat party at their 2012 national convention. So what are you saying if not trash! I've quoted you and nothing will happen

In your deluded mind! Specia guest of who DNC?? He paid for his ticket! Enough of this misinformation. Fact is, he's an ex convict! If he has US citizenship, he can come and go at will.

How much of that was used to refinance and buy-out Lekki-Expressway contractors like LCC, Hitech -all owned by Tinubu?
How come over $1bn was spent on a 34km light rail without completion while Ethiopia spent $475 m on a similar project and it's up and running??

PassingShot:
Are you aware that Tinubu's case was settled by forfeiting hundred of thousands of dollars to the US government?

If he is actually a suspect, he wouldn't have been able to be going to US as he has being doing.

And do you remember that Tinubu attended Obama's swearing in ceremony in 2012?

So, shove it!

Only blind followers don't know that forfeiture or payment of fine equals guilt in the U.S. legal system. He traded forfeiture for a lenient sentence which he complied with.. Had he run, he would have been a fugitive. Tickets are sold to highest bidders and folks with connections..so anybody with money could have bought a DNC ticket

dridowu:
South West does not harbour criminal be it Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Efik, Ijaw, e.t.c
Say No To Drug Baron
Buruji should even be happy because he is not been extradited to Indonesia where it is capital punishment.

And his master, Tinubu, is running the whole south west?? Tinubu was convicted of the same crime in Chicago

"He's an hero"
A hero or shero! "H" is not silent. Quit writing English in your native tongue. The same way u laugh at someone for saying "Kwaruption" instead of "corruption"; or for saying "Lain"instead of "rain" is the way you should laugh at ur yourself

baralatie:
you should ask the oil marketers why the refuse to tender their receipts for verification!

So ur FG has been paying without verification of receipts?? How come FG issued marketee IOUs without verification??

gogodaye:
Go get a feel of how the institutions of the Nigerian state are run and are funded..............
All Revenue accruals are kept to shared amongst the 3 different tiers of government along parameters set down by RMFAC.........
Both PGEJ and NOI, put up spirited resistance to the clamour by the 36 state governors for the sharing of the accruals saved in the ECA.......after blackmail in the press and a suit instituted at their behest.....the FG agreed to the sharing of what had been saved in that pool.....
NOI, then proposed recourse to another saving alternative..... The Sovereign Wealth Fund.....which met another set of backlash from the 36 state governors with another law suit........but the FG stuck to its guns.....and that is all that we have as savings........
A little mastery of the goings on around would do us all a lot.....

Theu keep blaming everybody but themselves! Why didn't PGEJ and NOI save FG's share for a rainy day like this?? Why didn't PGEJ and NOI pay marketers what had been appropriated for in 2014 fiscal yr??

Wonders98:


Broz u blind, I no c osun on d list o


Broz u blind, I no c osun on d list o

Why must u leave ur brain behind before commenting on NL?? Osun not on the list of highest and lowest paid states means that it received more than Enugu, so it's an average recipient!

Saorchy:
Beautiful question...she will rather keep us in the dark on that aspect

Thank you! Soludo called for a tripartite debate and she ran like Usain Bolt

IcecoldDon:
You keep saying this as though everybody then against subsidy removal were fools or didn't have tangible economic and historical reasons for being against the removal.
Partial removal was accomplished with promise of using it to resuscitate the refineries. Even an attempt of this would have been most welcome....yet nothing, not a single bloody thing was done for 6 years to put them back on stream.
we had high crude prices for over 2 years that could also have been pumped into maintaining the whole system was embezzled.
You heap the blame on the people for wanting to eat their cake and have it without taking into consideration the historical and acute lack of trust and accountability between them and their leaders who expect them to take hits for them without any proof that it would actually be worth it.

Don't mind him!

Flets:
I will continue to shout this....... 'Nigerians are illiterates' and that is the biggest issue not corruption. Illiteracy is what fuels our corruption

We never sit back to think. Even without this expose, who cared to know how revenues and disbursed?

Why do Nigerians focus on the federal while neglecting tge state govts closer to them?

Why do Nigerians support the oil marketers against the govt? And when the marketers arm twist the FG... they will cry foul

..... and very soon they will turn their anger towards the incoming govt without caring to look into details.

Crazy mob mentality is the bane of our followership and that is root of all the troubles.

You are not making sense. FG kept abut %55 of what it had shared to the governors. Like Soludo asked,what prevented FG from saving its share of ECA?? Why did FG become profligate like states? Subsidy payments were appropriated in 2014 budget, time for FG to pay up!! Imagine if you are still owed for the work u did in 2014 when $1 was N160 and now being paid in 2015 when $1=N220-so Naira has lost 37%-for every N1000 owed in 2014, it's now worth N625 in real Naira value in 2015. Mind u 2015 fight is coming!

The same woman that told us that debt was bad in 1999-2006 is no telling us that debt is OK in 2015.. Selective amnesia!!

revolt:
a lil misquote doesnt change the facts, yes oil sold double the price we sell right now, objs tenure enjoyed international windfalls as a result of the invasion of iraq. stop being a tortoise. face it u guys occupied ojota n now its hitting us hard.

You keep insulting our intelligence! Average oil price during OBJ was less than $45 while GEJ's average oil price was about $90..

Reference:
That is not foolishness, it is wisdom. You are the one who needs wisdom. This line of jaundiced thought is so typical of Nigerians with their 'entitlement' mentality that robs them of the attitude of responsibility necessary for development. You my friend are not a farmer nor have the attitude of a farmer or businessman.

When you start your business kindly do not pay market prices for the goods and services you consume from your enterprise and let's see whether you will not end up like Nigeria. Reprobate people. The US is the largest producer of wheat. They formed the NewYork and Chicago mercantile exchanges which essentially sets the world prices of wheat and other essentials meaning the average US farmer knows that he gets international prices for his wheat and the US Confec. Industry buys there. Americans pay for American produced commodities at international prices. It is the producers that are incentified to produce more. Consumers are taxed upon the 'real' prices they pay. That is how to develop. So go farming the right way pal.

Shell's refineries in the US buy crude at international prices even though the US is the second biggest producer of crude. Why don't they subsidize. Black man and his ways. Chop, clean mouth and blame everyone else for tomorrow's poverty. Bloody entitlementists.

But New York Mercantile Ex. sets the price for crude oil prices and future. How come we are not buying Cars, IPhones, Caterpillar, computers, Electronics at a globally set price run by cartel?? It would be nice to pay NYC price for cars in Naija. BTW, Buses and trains in Chicago and NYC are heavily subsidized- in Chicago u can ride all day for less than $3-N600-.. US farmers are subsidized almost 50% US cotton is cheaper than cotton produced in Mali because of govt subsidy!
BTW, these so-called subsidies had been appropriated in 2014 budget, FG should pay up.
What happened to the money FG saved from partial removal of subsidy How Nigerians are paying more now even that crude oil price is less than $60 than they did when it was $120??

Sunnybobo3:
I bet you are one of those that protested against subsidy removal.

Thunder fire your mouth there.

Selective amnesia! But GEJ partially removed subsidy and said that he would repair all the refineries with the money saved!What happened to the money and Sure-P funds?Another arrogant display of stupidity

I still don't get why people kill their innocent unborn child.lf you want to bleep around like a goat do it responsibly with condom or better yet zip up

It's also super immoral to born them and not take care of them. Why does Naija have over 10 million kids not going to school? Why are these kids selling something on the street instead of going to school??

Who is going to Canada on vacay in March Cheap discount tickets!! Canada is cold as fucckked in March

How about u focus on SME customers that have 500k to 2m? About 150 of them can help u!

I got mine without connections...there's something like favour and God's will...if it's yours, nothing can stop it. For those who didn't get, I believe God has a better plan.

So God no like or favor others? Go siddon!

The above is correct, but it puts less strain on the dollar than;

1. Importation of refined petroleum products -- which is madness.

2. Foreign currencies demand/looting by our 'polithievians'.

3. And the faulty monetary policies operated by the FG/CBN, which ensures scarcity of the dollar=huge amount of Naira chasing few dollars -- scarcity=price hike . . . throw in Forex racketeering by the CBN,Banks,BDCs, and others.

1: Importation of refined crude- whose fault? Govt or the masses? Why can't govt build or award license to folks to build, then restrict dollar to importers of refined products?
2: why can't CBN peg bTA for me office holder of traveler's cheque?
3: faulty monetary policy cos we only sell crude and import everything.. I'm running my gen now. FG doesn't want to run out of $€ because it didn't save enough during oil boom days, therefore, it's suppressing the demand for $€ because it wants to use the reserve to fund part of the budget.

From the responses here, it's clear that most NL members are bereft of how Naija economy works. From ur shoes-handbags to ur cellphone/computer how many of them have made in Nigeria tag?? None!' Foreign currencies are needed on daily basis to pay for these goods. Shipping companies and airlines all want to be paid in $$€€. CBN has restricted these payments without providing a viable alternative. This has resulted in pushing the price of $ up in the black market to $1-N223.
Naija economy is import dependent cos we don't manufacure that much and Naija Naira is worthless piece of paper.

Another spite on Nigerians! You get an award for decimating Naija economy? We have gone from having a huge foreign reserve to depletion.. From spending 30-40% on capital projects to 10-15%?? From paying salaries from our earned income to borrowing from IMF to pay salaries of politrickians like her.
