Obama has already destroyed Trump. All Hilary 's transgressions are now in the cooler as the dumb billionaire politician gets distracted by Obama, a KIA Muslim Family , his wife's illegal status for a year and ultimately his taxes .

Trump has also shown a lack of calm authority with his behaviour during campaigns. The US public are seeing through this fake and unlikely anti establishment politician

Young wailers are a little slow intellectually. They are not too smart but soon even they will see Jona for what he is. They will soon see Nigeria for what it is. Restructuring is not the problem. Is is the WRONG PEOPLE. Tribalistic dummies

Katyusha:
Yeah..Chilean Army uniforms look so much like Wehrmacht uniforms...

Chile was already the top class fastest growing developing country when Nigeria had not taken independence. CIAs workshop in Latin America and very correct ...haven of ex NAZI engineers and bankers

Dead brained poster of this rubbish. Is this snartness?.
Low IQ Nigerian thinking.

GEJ my hero! may God continue to guide u to continue enlightening them commander in chief. the best presido of naija! i salute u sire

The man always looks and speaks like some local fisherman.

Yarduni:
Dont compare nigeria with the u.s. Things are much different there. So you expect trump to come in and stand against the NWO agenda? are you for real?

Trump himself said he knows the US system. He did not become a billionaire by being an outsider. People are ignorant. The only clean guy is Bernie Sanders

Buhari was the man they put Nigerian political and economic elite under for some discipline.

He is and will take down their corrupt trousers and deal very PAINFUL whip lashes to their BUMS for the next 8 years. No power in heaven or earth will stop it because God has decreed it. Whether you are APC, PDP or ND militant supporter, it will happen as decreed. IF you don't understand it just accept it. Your strong political views, anger, frustration or any other is besides the point. If you get violent you lose everything (your life) and everything continues.

I have studied the bad luck that came to Nigeria between us 2014/2015/2016 and I see the hand of God in it.
Even ND militants making things even more difficult for their people is all part of it.
The tomato crop crisis is part of it. Lack of buyers for crude oil is part of it.

The solution is TO LEARN, HUMBLE and CORRECT ourselves as a country and be closer to God through Christ.

veraponpo:
Yes bro.

This was what touched me. It seems virtually all the oil dependent economies are bad.

Nigeria seems to be doing fairly good if not for the vandalism and security challenges around.

Venezuela is the absolute worst of all oil exporters. Saudi Arabia has invested very well yet they have so much problems, they are finding it difficult to pay foreign workers. Nigeria is very well managed thank God for Buhari. Goodluck would not have been able to control his own administration and things could have been worse than Venezuela

UltimatedeBest:
Clueless govt with no direction, wen it come to noise making n telling lies they r expert. Okonjo iweala dat dis govt rubbish her name, dey are now seeking for her help. D situation is obviously beyond Kemi Adeosun, shame Buhari n APC

Most people out of tribal inferiority complex get into personalities instead of issues. NOI worked with OBJ even more than Jonathan so for almost 16 years she was in charge of the economy. What is the issue with consulting her? Was Augusto not consulted, was Sanusi not consulted?

In any case, Okonjo, or anybody does not have any magic key to the economy. She in fact caused our problems. Only an idiot will deceive himself that the current problem will not last 2 more years. It is usually 7 years to get out of recession for developed countries and 3 and a half for developing countries. Nigeria has a structural problem that has caused short term cash flow. Borrowing is temporarily difficult because there is a larger economic slump overseas. Only the US is marginally better and they have issues too.
Hardwork, discipline, endurance and innovation in technology are the things that will save us.

sleek16:
This Government is a disaster.

Use your brains. If you are too young or inexperienced then ask questions

Keneking:
This government has failed the economy woefully

By increasing import duties?. Do you have brains at all?

When the YOUTH of a country celebrate only the corrupt, what do you expect?. Saraki was corrupt in PDP but he wasvnot as popular as now with some people with some people after he played a fast one against his party, worked with the corrupt opposition and became Senate President.

The first budget they have passed has now been discovered to be PADDED.

Why won't OBJ complain.

wolelove:
That is Nigeria for you.

This is IBO culture. The boys who felt sad about Dasuki and FFK's arrest were the first to lynch pickpockets at Oshodi.

It is a spiritual problem. Hardship will cure it.Pain will cure it. Discipline will cure it.

Buhari will cure it.

NwaNimo1:
Buhari needs advise...

Why is Jonathan not in PRISON please?

idupaul:
Can't you see the story is wrong ..The US has nothing to do withe the A 29 Tucano..I still wonder why our Airforce is making so much noise about this aircraft like they are about to acquire the F35 lightning

The US has all the rights to the aircraft from engine to avionics to flight controls to the mission computers

jakeporeshenko:
"permitted" ? because they sell a plane to us so they'll tell us how and when we can use them? I believe its all about political will power and how interested they are in the matter, the US sells very potent platforms to countries with far worse human right standards than Nigeria.

personally i believe if they are not ready to give us an advanced version they should keep their turbo prop plane.

I disagree on the Alpha Jet.
We should extend their operation another ten years, get some PGM capability and buy more from German Air force stocks. We have developed world leading core competency on this Aircraft and many European Airforces are still using them. It is the only fast mission time COIN aircraft we have now and wearn have mastered quick accurate targeting with data coming from ISR aircraft. How many African countries do you think can do this now?.
Super Tucanoes can do its own ISR and attack on its own but the aircraft is slower and the weapons on board lighter.

I think we will get what Afghanistan got. Boko Haram is worse than Taleban and ISIS and armed Fulani Herdsmen militants are classified by some US agencies as more deadly than BH. If they don't include PGM capability, we can get it through Elbit although there will bevery few instances we need to use PGMs .

Super Tucanoes tick a lot of boxes for Nigeria - methodical border patrol, internal security, some limited ISR, data link relay, basic training after Super Mushak, ..even search and rescue and UAV research observation.
They carry super accurate canons and good machine guns, dumb rockets and PGMs can be rigged in.
This is Nigeria

Yyeske:
Have you visited the website posted on this thread already or you decided to jump into the discuss for us to know you said something
Meanwhile, I'd like you to provide us links to those figures you posted, not saying it's made up but I need to learn. Learning ends in the grave you know

I tried to post links but thought better of it. There are over ten pages of links on Google and the search was just "Nigerian food exports + Nigerian diaspora food".
I was travelling abroad as a fresh graduate since the mid 80s. Nigerian food market are everywhere. The UK probably has up to 300 in major cities, Houston, New York in the US probably that number. I have been in a Nigerian food shop in Calgary four years ago and seen a covered trailer of offloading Nigerian foodstuff - Yoruba store owner , Ibo supplier. Houston is unbelievable in this regard.

The funny thing is at least 50 percent of the food export business is even under the table so the FG is actually losing export duty money.

Obiano should not bring this Ugu matter of exporting as much as 5bmillion dollars so quick in a market that is at least 30 years old.

I rate him already as the third best Governor in Nigeria after El Rufai and Ambode. He is probably slightly better than Ayade so far in performance..but don't tell me lies about Ugu 5 million dollars export .

jakeporeshenko:
these people are back with their Trojan horse
CAS HOLDS TALK WITH US GOVT DELEGATION ON ACQUISITION OF SUPER TUCCANO AIRCRAFT
CAS, Air Mshl Abubakar and HQ NAF Branch Chiefs during the meeting with US delegation on the acquisition of Super Tucano by the NAF.

So what happens if the Nigerian govenement decides to take a decision that's not in favor of the US?

The risk management for the US is that they will sell bare bone Tucanoes (maybe fitted with only canons) and we will have to buy the other good stuff and retrofit. They will not block retrofitted offensive gear from other countries.
The reason the US does this sometimes is not because they hate us but because we are currently classified amongst countries where democratic institution development is still a little poor and there are human rights criteria for Leahy law compliance.

I am sure that only the dastardliness of Boko Haram has even "qualified" us for the Tucanoes at the current time and YES we may not be permitted to use it in the ND or in the SE.
The US looks at Nigeria with matured , neutral , regional stability eyes and some of the decisions they take are influenced by CIVIL SERVANTS in the State Department instead of Politicians.

For people blaming Obama and Clinton, you need to be less amateurish about how power is structured in the US.
Nigeria needs to keep and pay lobbyists and PR firms in the US if we want to get good things out of Washington.

It is just a fact we have to live with.

So many responses missing the pount.

First of all Nigerians have been exporting at least 500million US dollars of vegetables and food stuff to Europe, Canada and Asia annually for years before Obiano became governor.

We probably did as much as 800 million USD this year already. Go to London, New York, Calgary, Toronto.

The issue is here that the gist of the State's earlier publicity on the issue was wrong. They lied and they should have come out clean to clarify in three simple sentences instead of this long epistle which was saying just the same thing. Anambra state did not export 5 million dollars worth of vege tables to Europe during the term of this and the last administration. NOT YET.

Obiano is in my view already the best governor in Nigeria. No need to spoil a good thing by overzealous aides exaggerating and reporting speculatively

This new ISR and improved CAS capabilities by NAF is commendable. Kill them fast and with prejudice.

drss2:
yes.

Trump will never win. These pictures are targeted at the conservatives in the Republican party. They want to keep them home during the elections. No conservative will vote for Trump .

This is a LIE. These guys were never militants.
Some smart civil servants smuggled the names of smart students into the Amnesty Scorlarship Scheme. In this instance , we support this act of corruption.
If this had been done for thousands more people instead of empowering cultists, killers and kidnappers maybe we would have had more sympathy for the ND,

2BB4CB3E:
Ayo Fayose own! is to be sharing yam, rice and 200N SMH
is this one not a governor! if there are no investments in your state the fault is yours not FG

Fayose = Taxi Driver
Ambode = Accountant with Masters Degree

A complete waste of WOMANHOOD

This is the cowardly attitude of THIEVES when the punishment is impending they start bringing issues to confuse the process. Nepotism is actually permitted within bounds. There is Nepotism in the oil industry, PTF et.c. the entire Amnesty program is Nepotism. I get 20 CVs from young Nigerians looking for jobs and I will do all I can to fix them up. When I do it will appear to be Nepotism but I won't give a job to anyone if them not qualified.

This is different from large scale LOOTING as perpetrated under Jonathan. Stealing from future generations is not on the same level as helping a few from the current young generations.

kutchs:
I can name 5 investments that have left Nigeria since May 29th 2015.

Those investments must be corrupt businesses or 'fast money '. The stock market made 500 per cent gain after Naira liberalisation and Fuel Subsidy removal. PZ, Dangote, Lever Brothers, NBL, Car Assembly, Agro allied sectors are growing. The economy is being diversified so there will be pain. The ND militants are vandalising assets to send gas for power so there will be pain. There are corrupt New PDP people in APC in the Senate / Reps so there will be pain.
2016 is the year of pain. It is not Buhari's fault and as long as corrupt elements continue in corruption and sabotage the pain will continue and it won't even make Buhari lose in 2016 - there are many ways to prevent that so many people will just destroy themselves for nothing.

Rivers State is a factory producing kidnappers, cultists and militants. They are doomed and stuck with Wike. There is no need discussing the issue. We will assess them in 2019 but things are bad for that state.

DedeNkem:
Most of beneficiaries will be northern women and the thieves distributing it..

From the 150 Billion, they will share 50 Billion to the women in families of politicians and the pocket the rest.

Thieves!

I am an APC supporter but I suspect this might happen as well. We need to follow due diligence through the legislature and asking for monthly reports.

ace05:
It's a shame that there still exists a ministry dedicated to females, are men not as important then?, start from the bottom to correct ideologies and give everyone equal opportunities! !!. It is very convenient for 'equality' campaigners to overlook this but find their voice when 85% of the people in any government are male. I realised that it's not a Nigerian phenomena, it's just how they are.
It is well.
Shalom.

For Africa, it is the only way to achieve grassroots development believe me. So many studies already done on the importance of using women for micro-enterprise development. At worst they will use the money to buy food for their kids at best with hood banks supporting, they will develop cooperative businesses like farming, garri processing, oil palm, rice parboiling, charcoal making, candle making, pencil making...etc, c

temptnow:
Don't be surprise , Buhari is killing yorubbers thinking he is killing ijaws cos the media call them ijaw militant

Whatever they are. They have weapons, camps and they are vandalising pipelines. They are going to be fed bullets.

newbornmacho:
He could win in unlikely places like Pennsylvania, etc

He is losing in there .Check the polls. What will finish him is the thoughtless idea of abrogation trade deals and relationship with Putin.
Trump is a liar. The US is the winner in today's globalised economic system. Alphabet, Google, Facebook, Twitter, Boeing, GE, Apple, Amazon et.c have amazing market capitalization ..each more than Nigeria 's GDP because of what Trump wants to destroy - NAFTA, TPP et c If Trump wins, the iPhone will cost $1300 in the store and Apple will be out of business.
