Why did they do this with such boldness . No fear at all

The pictures are clearly photo-shopped.

1. The shadows of the cows are not consistent, some are long while some are short.
2. The shadow made by the tree is very distinct due to a bright sunlight, however the shadows made by the cows aren't (there is even a baby cow that had a longer shadow than an adult one!
3. The "After" pictures gives the photo-shop away! There is no way the ridges wouldn't have been disturbed after such number of cows had been grazing on them.

I thought the man said he read her comments. She never criticized his war on corruption nor implementing the TSA nor his infrastructural development, she only criticised his "command and control" economic policies which never worked in his time as a military head of state and it isn't working now.

Oby is one of those people that learn the theories but aren't wise enough on when and how to apply it. All economic policies have their uses, which is why there is not only a single economic policy in the world!

"Command and Control" as she called it is just what economist called "Fiscal Control Policies", which is the other side of the Free Market Economic policies. The 2 have their uses and benefits, it takes a wise one to know which to apply at different times.

Let me illustrate. In a group consisting of a chicken and 4 dogs, and one of them must be sacrificed. The Chicken might be encouraged by the West to insist on democratic principles of voting as the basis to choose who would be sacrificed as that is a world accepted principle of fairness.

However a wise chicken, would insists on using the other universally accepted mode of selection called "Drawing Straws". For that way, the chicken would have a chance at survival as the only outcome of voting would be the demise of the chicken. The detractors of the chicken might call Drawing of Straws archaic, but that is what would give the chicken a chance at survival.

Can you imagine! I think the FRSC needs to sensitive the vulcanizers on this. I think this is less costlier than saving accident victims. May God help our nation. Everything is so upside down

The information is NOT for vulcanizers, it is for the Car Owners and Drivers! Aren't car owners or the drivers the ones that have the duty of care for their vehicles?

kingzizzy:
If he was charged without petition, it means that someone at the top ordered EFCC to go after him. EFCC should not be used to settle political scores.

I guess if a robber should rape and kill your loved one and a policeman happens to walk by, notices the crime but since your loved one is not there to place a petition, the robber should walk away right?

Na wa!

hush15:
Let's be honest, even the savings, Buhari still met 30 billion dollars. Even if he didn't meet hundreds of billion, the little he met, what can do with it?
It's simple, he that's is faithful in little will be faithful in much. It's a spiritual law, so all the excuses is unfounded.

I don't believe in laying up gold for someone to come waste it as we saw in the last administration.

The real prosperity in in creating wealth and there is so many ways to do that but greed n conflicts of interest is also what is holding the present government from doing needful. Why depend on what ur predecessor left when you could generate ur own. That way, there won't be any frivolous spending.

Even if Buhari saves so much at the expense of the masses welfare, what's stopping someone coming to waste it all moro...

Let them create their own wealth, it shows how competent they really are, simple

I guess Jonathan created the country's wealth or savings of $30bln when he in fact inherited a Savings portfolio of $65bln.

Your logic is confounding!

mile12crises:
Every damn thing GEJ handed over to Buhari has dropped including Life of the citizens; happiness dropped, Economy dropped, Naira value dropped, Security of life and property dropped as Fulani herders and DSS are running amok.

It will take Fashola more than 2 years to understand power generation and distribution not to talk of managing it.

A lawyer in a wrong place.

Thankfully you couldn't list Savings as dropping. Imagine what would have been if GEJ had Savings to hand over to Buhari after all the 5 years of bountiful oil export at higher prices.

BTW, the Corruption handed over has also dripped.

Ximonak:
Is Glo/Mtn/airtel as costly as it was before? If not that NCC is still corrupt, it would have be even more cheaper

How much is simcard plus registration now?
When Etisalat came on board it ran for a year or two without profit,

If they have made the light distribution like telecoms - a street/area/zone can chose who to subscribe to then we would have seen fast improvement in the power sector but its still Monopoly(in another format)

Whether Etisalat made profit is not the issue, at the end of the day, customers have to pay for each debt of Etisalat and also pay for their investments. Profit is simple: Revenue - Expenses!

Light distribution is not like Telecoms and can never be like Telecoms. So if you decide to change from one Disco to another, would they run a new line to your house from Egbin (in case you are in Lagos) or would different Discos run different lines to each street to accommodate customers on their own networks?

Remember, you see MTN, Glo and Etisalat masts all beside each other and sometimes to even share the same masts. Do you expect to see different power lines for different Discos across the nation?

Integrityfarms:
And the blame game continues as if there has not been pipeline vandalism since the days of Adam!

Meanwhile the Power minister is now daft, deaf and dumb! He can't prove his rocket science technology of power supply 24/7

And the globetrotter is junketing in America in an uninvited mission!

OK, you don't want to know the reason for the lower power generation, in that case, you can try believing that Fashola instructed the power plants to shutdown so that Tinubu can import generators. I hope this reason makes you feel much better!

NavierStokes:
#INCOMPETENCEISWORSETHANCORRUPTION#

This statement above would imply that "The Corrupt" were delivering electricity prior to being dumped off the scene, unfortunately that is not correct.

As the quote below shows, this "incompetent" ones delivered the highest generation so far in the country. Isn't it strange that you only decided to see what your heart was searching for?

SleekAboii:
The total generated electricity on Wednesday fell to 2,030.5 megawatts from the over 5,000MW peak recorded earlier this year.

sammhi:
pls stop reasoning from the anus.
The Discos are corporate entity... what they are doing is collecting money from customers to fund their capital investment. that's is fraud. charges to customer are to cover operational cost and then profit. Capital investment should be throu equity funding, loans, debentures etc.
So your second option makes no sense. You have to provide the service and base on quality , you increase your tariff. It is only absurd that you think customers should pay for you to get money to invest in your own business. it is only happening because we are corrupt and indolent nation
Do u know how many people will say for services not rendered through so called estimated billing ? that is fraud

Is MTN or Glo not collecting from customers to fund their capital investments

Or is there any business out there that is not collecting from its customers to find its capital investments?

SycophanticGoat:
Toks aka demdem wouldn't see this thread and the comparism between Cross River's monorail and that scam by the great lizard of Ubima. If na to come balls-lick that useless grayish lizard now, the useless APC zombies spread across the country, go carry first..

Hmmmm, when people compare Apples to Oranges, they would only get confused.

This is a case of comparing a Mr A that went to Lagos from PH for N8,200 and a Mrs B that went to the same Lagos for N24,800, by simply saying "both went to Lagos". Na dindinrin sense be that if one went by Road and the other by Air.

Cross River Monorail is using rails on the ground, while Rivers is a suspended rail with up to 100 pylons.

Also, the Cross River monorail passes through virgin lands whereas the Rivers monorail is through much developed choice areas of PH with the added cost for demolition and compensation.

Wike is better advised to leave politics and complete the project, he should learn from what Lagos is currently facing today as it abandoned its Metro in the 80's. At least now, Lagos is back constructing its Blue, Black and Yellow lines of rail transport. If he thinks Amaechi committed fraud, then probe him and charge him to court seeing as Amaechi has no immunity.

TimiBlogger:
What is Fashola the super Minister doing about the incessant drop?

He is trying to get the people of the Niger Delta to understand the connections between Oil & Gas Pipeline vandalism to Power Generation and Fuel Shortages!

Until Nigerians understand that our actions in the Niger Delta (or anywhere else!) by vandalizing public properties have consequences, we will continue to oscillate between this Up and Down sequences.

You can't blow up Crude lines to the Refineries and then complain of fuel scarcity.

EmperorMGI:
Noblegrex...pls can you tell us the difference...because to me,persons are involved and managed!..One or more!...Have you not read in the bible where it says that a man must first have rule over his home before he becomes a deacon/bishop....My opinion, they are not different!

I haven't seen you tell Pastor Chris Okorie or Pastor Chris Oyakhilome that they are failures and should pack up!

Or is your registration of this exhortation just awakened for Omojuwa?

knightsTempler:
I concur.

Residence Zombies are crawling out one after the other, soon they will crawl back into the holes they crawl out from. Hehehe

If you've had more than 1 relationship in your life, then You are as well a failure going by your own acceptable definition.

debsdan92:
The young lady to some extent is correct,the bedrock of every society is family,n the truth is,if you as a man don't have control over your family or relationship,then am sorry,cos if u can't be successful in something not so complex as a family,how much more a group of people,lets leave sentiments aside,charity they say begins @home,whether we like it or not,family plays a very important role in government,so if u can't get it right @family level,how u ever going to get it right wen given d position of a manager or a political appointment,lets always think deep before we comment,it doesn't always have to be sentimental,my own opinion though,ur entitled to urs,that's y its a forum,good day

By your reasoning thus, the following are failures :
1. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
2. Reuben Abati
3. Steve Jobs
4. 50% of the world.

And many others with failed relationships or marriages. In fact virtually 80% of Nigerians as only a handful marry their 1st love.

Are you still standing on your opinion?

Uchddaniel:
Its quite unfortunate. I have actually been one of the hater's of the Ibinabo's story. But i am now having a full re-think. Healing, healing and healing is what we ask. Sentencing Ibinabo, will be fine to show how SUPREME OUR LAW is, but for God's sake, the Doctors family should please forgive her and withdraw this case.

The case is between Lagos State Government and Ibinabo. The Giwas have nothing to do with the case, it is a criminal case instituted by LASG and the Giwas are just interested parties.

ndujekwu:
Am forced to believe the eye-witness. I just pray they reconsider their court prayer for another appeal, else, she should start buying provisions for her 5-years boarding house

It's well....

You are FORCED to believe! Was there a gun pointed to your head while reading, or there were cult guys holding machetes while you were reading?

Please share this phenomenal way of being FORCED to believe! You might just be a genius waiting to be discovered.

sodconfirm:
I have N40,000, A room and palour around here is mostly N3,500 per month for each room, both room is N7,000 which is N84,000 for 1yr, Including agreement and commission which is N25,000 each (N50,000). I will need a total of N134,000. Minus truck for moving my belongings But i will appreciate anything you can assist me with. I can urgently sell some of my belongings to balance it up.

Bros, at 84,000 per year.
10% for Agreement & Commission is 16,800 and not 50,000.00 (even 20% will still be 33,600.

Truck will be another 10K


Your calculations seem off. Don't let people start to think you want to scam. Be as close to the truth and Open as possible.

sodconfirm:
God bless you my brother, The address is No 15. Thomas Ekun Street. Blue Banana bus stop. Off Ait Road. Alagbado. Here is my phone number in case you need direction 08089967066 and 08092566176. I had N50,000 When the problem started but i have spent out of it. I now have N40,000.

I look forward to moving out first even if i want to fight for my right.

My guy, send me a PM or reply my email.

mysteriousman:
Did he give you any written notice to vacate the house 6 months before the expiration of your rent? If he didn't then take the matter to court. That will buy you time or you can plead with him any option you fit choose

Please most people misinterpret this provision of the law. It actually applies to both parties!

If your Landlord wants to eject you, he would give you 6 months notice.
If the tenant wants to renew, he should also give 6 months notice.

So if neither party gives any notice, it is deemed that both accept that the tenancy agreement will lapse at the end of the Present Contract.

So OP might be better off negotiating with the Landlord.

WOCKHARDI:
Corruption grows like grass in Nigeria since 1960.
We are just scratching the surface. At this rate we will spend eternity trying to uproot the tough 'grass ' while the economy and other services suffer.
These corruption exposes may be good news to some but I'd prefer news about how the little we have is being developmentally deployed while the corruption fight continues in the background through institutional reforms and moral re-orientation of the citizenry.

You are the kind of people that when you are told that you are pouring water into a basket, which is why there is no water in it, you would say: "I don't want to hear it is leaking, just put more water in it!"

The economy of the nation will not and cannot grow or improve if people in authority continue to steal public funds. Good roads will be a mirage, quality hospitals will remain a dream and the Naira exchange rate will continue on a downward slide if we continue on the path of stealing and corruption.

peacengine:
My brother if you are truly objective, then I am sure that you can also testify to the fact that you cannot compare the level of education in the south to the North.

Are you trying to compare the level of poverty in Niger and Chad to Cameroon and Benin? Many Nigerians would rather migrate to Cameroon and Benin than to remain here. You can't say the same thing in the case of Niger and Chad na, who wants to die of starvation?

Many times, the one that asks another to be objective, is actually not being objective!

Being objective will show you that where the population census says that the Northerners outnumber the Southerners (rightly or wrongly, that's the stat) then one will know that "45% of 80 Million", will be higher than "60% of 50 Million".

So you might be saying that the 60% is higher, but in actual fact there are more educated one in numbers in the 45% than the 60%. So, you might want to take your own advice and be objective.

peacengine:
This is quite funny, are you considering the level of education in the North? Or should standard six primary school graduates be given positions meant for qualified graduates? What has been the North's attitude to Western education so far?

I remember going to a military hospital to visit a relative and the male Nurse who was from the North, could not read the prescription given by the doctor.

362 is very fair considering what is happening presently, now if you are from any other region besides the North your chances of getting such jobs is highly unlikely. Between many so called Northerners are from Chad and Niger this is why the population of the North seems higher than that of the South.

Now you are being sentimental rather than being objective. What is the level of education in the North? The people that entire the universities yearly, don't they graduate?

There is a difference between "Fair" and "Constitution". Are there no Southerners that are from Benin or Cameroon?

listica:
All the scam labelled against Jonathern is happening twice in this fulani regime now,immigration illegal recruitment, civil defence illegal recruitment and now CBN. Pls can some one tell me why ur president fired Paradang formal Immigration comptroller? And what's d difference between before and now.Bleep Naija

In your haste to display sectarian love, you failed to read and see that the period is JUNE 2014 to FEBRUARY 2015!!! The elections took place when?

peacengine:
This is better than the recent appointments of mainly Northern relatives of political elites. The North got a total of 362 slots, is this not fair enough? Or are they the only ones in this country that deserve FG employment?

HungerBAD CBN will not employ you now if you are not Hausa/Fulani

Do you think getting 362 out of the 909 employment is a lopsided employment of Northern relatives when you consider that "Northern" is half of the country thus half of 909 would be 454?

Nalikedis:
362 out of 909 and you think that is fair

The guy said "The North", "the North" is made up of North East, North Central and North West, which is half of the 6 geopolitical zones in Nigeria, therefore it implies "The North" should have HALF of the 909 ==> 454.

So do you think having 362 out of 454 is fair?
Or do you think The North was filling the CBN with Northerners when they only did 362 out of a statutory 454?

killercute16:
The C.B.N has turned into a family business,you cant blame Godwin Emefiele,he's just doing the command of his superior.


My main problem with this government is their hypocrisy

Of course I BLAME Emefiele. The CBN is independent and according to SR, he hired the people not that the FGN hiored them and posted them to CBN, Emefiele is to be blamed!

mattmobis:
She wasn't in the office for 16 years! Or u are talking about PDP? Besides, Buhari and Kemi will NEVER equal her in this life time.

Buhari has already surpassed her in all ramifications. Do check this out:

NOI as an economist: Highest rank VP of World Bank.
NOI as a politician/technocrat: Highest rank, Minister.

Buhari as a soldier: Attained the highest rank in the Army, became Head of State, has a GCFR.
Buhari as a Politician: President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Tell me again, who has achieved the highest in the chosen field?

BIAFRANFLAG:
Get your facts right before spewing trash.

When IWEALA was the finance minister, she adviced that the excess crude money be saved for raining days but APC members led by CHIBUIKE and OSHI-OMO- OLE rejected the idea and insisted that the money be shared amongst the 36 States of the federation. They sued her to court and won.


Now that the raining days is finally here, the same crooks who objected her prophecy are the same ones blaming her for the Nigerians ECONOMIC DOWNTURN.

Nope! YOU should actually be the one to get your facts right! You need to follow the chronology of things to know why they are and therefore know who is actually to be blamed.

GEJ inherited and Excess Crude Account in the region of $17Billion in 2009, by 2011 the amount dropped to $13 Billion.
By 2012, the amount in the Excess Crude Account was $9Billion, and all these were despite the $22/barrel difference between the budgeted price and the actual world market prices.. This implies that GEJ through Iweala was carrying out unauthorized withdrawals from the ECA and short-changing the other strata of government.

The State Governments thereafter decided that rather than have FGN taking from the money, it was better to share it so that everyone can have their due allocations. So in essence, the Governors were forced to demand for the sharing because NOI was looting the ECA.

youngwarlocks:
The hypocrisy in Nigeria will not end. Wasn't it president
Buhari who couldn't pay the 27m naira presidential ticket fee
that is saying his children study abroad because he can
afford it?

Now he is blaming Mtn for his own incompetence.

shior......This Government is full of lies and hypocrisy

You really do have a poor man's mentality. There abound many pepper sellers in Lagos and across the country sending their kids abroad to school.

One doesn't have to be a millionaire to send kids to school abroad, it's a matter of priority.

BTW, the President only adduced reasons why MTN's actions which necessitated the fine contributed to the insurgency, he wasn't blaming them for the insurgency.

Integrityfarms:
One thing is certain. There is a skewed agenda to use the powers of the state to favour Dangote at the detriment of other business investors! No wonder the North wants to die to be in the Presidency!! We are watching!

Was the North in charge between 2009 and 2015 when Dangote was building monopolies all across Nigeria? Sentiments really doesn't make people see clearly!

The guy has been corrupting govt officials to influence policies that favour his companies for a long time, irrespective of who is in charge or where he comes from.

poseidon12:
The DISCOs are deliberately not giving out prepaid meters. If they issue every customer a prepaid meter, they can not make enough to pay monthly salary. That is why they make it frustratingly difficult and expensive to get one. A staff at EKEDC told me that it would take 6 months to get one. And that is after paying about 60,000 Naira for the meter that they are required to supply for free.
It is irresponsible of this government to allow these DISCOs to be stealing from the citizens.

Sorry to hear about that!

The Single Phase meter is 39K while the 3-Phase is 76K. However, it is NOT to be provided free of charge as the consumer pays for it everywhere. MTN would not buy you a phone to use on their network, why do you expect Energy companies to buy you meters to use their services?
