Same Governors that is already clueless about how to manage the economic of their states that is now invited to talk about Nigerian economic that is already in a deplorable condition, what a pity.

This summit is an exercise in futility and another avenue to waste scarce resources because it is the same players that have been in power for the past 9 months that are participants.
What will Osinbajo tell us that he didn't think of since and what will Buhari's cabinet members tell us when they couldn't prepare a simple budget?

Imagine Aregbesola that is lording over a failed being in the summit for economic revival.

An economic retreat convened by the present administration to offer solutions to the current economic challenges facing Nigeria will hold on Monday and Tuesday next week.

The retreat, being put together by the National Economic Council, which has the 36 state governors as members and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as chairman, will hold in the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

According to a statement on Thursday by the Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, President Muhammadu Buhari will deliver the keynote address during the retreat’s opening session on Monday.


Akande said Osinbajo, being the chairman of NEC, which is an advisory body to the President, would preside over the retreat with governors from the 36 states of the federation attending.

Others expected at the meeting, according to the statement, are the Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele; and the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, among other top government functionaries.

The statement reads, “The objective of the NEC retreat is to provide a forum for in-depth discussions by NEC members of the policy actions that the states and the Federal Government can consider in order to stimulate local production, cut costs and enhance public revenues among other measures to stimulate the economy.

“Contrary to suggestions, the retreat is not an emergency national economic conference.

“The idea was mooted at the last regular NEC meeting in January, where members requested an intensive session to review economic trends and evolve strategies to cope.”

The retreat, which was earlier fixed for March 10 and 11, was later put off to allow for more preparations on the part of the organisers.

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, had called on the President to summon an emergency economic meeting to chart a course to save the country from further drift.

Soyinka, who made the call when he visited the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Abuja, had said experts and consumers should be invited to the meeting.

“The President should call an emergency economic conference, with experts to be invited; consumers, producers, labour unions, university experts, professors, etc. I think we really need an emergency economic conference, a rescue operation, bringing as many heads as possible together to plot the way forward,” Soyinka had said.

Meanwhile, Buhari said the current economic crisis, plaguing the nation, was a blessing in disguise.

Buhari said this at the opening ceremony of the International Islamic Conference on Peace and Nation Building in Abuja on Thursday.

The President said through the hardship, Nigerians would be able to come up with ideas that would in turn lead to development.

He said, “The global economic challenges the world is grappling with today might well turn out to be a blessing for us in Nigeria, because it will stimulate the latent economic opportunities that we have left untapped for decades.

“Poverty breeds disaffection, which in turn leads to crime and lawlessness, including confrontation against the state. To checkmate this, we must work hard to lift our economy, engage our youths and rebuild infrastructure.’’

Buhari lamented the level of official corruption in the nation, adding that it led to many years of hardship for Nigerians. He, however, promised to do everything possible to curb the menace.

While declaring the conference open, the President commended the Jama’atu Izalatil Bid’a Wa Iqamatis Sunna and the Muslim World League for the event at a time when the nation was grappling with insecurity.

Buhari, who described Boko Haram as a mindless terrorist organisation, said the Federal Government was winning the fight against insurgency.

He said once the war was over, the government would commission a sociological study to determine the origin, the remote and immediate causes of the movement, its sponsors, its international connections if any, to ensure that measures were taken to prevent a resurgence.

The President added, “The tragic paradox of the global insurgency situation is that most of the atrocities committed by various insurgents all over the world today are being carried out mainly by people who pretend to be Muslims, yet most of the victims and casualties are equally Muslims.

“No religion approves of such heinous crimes against humanity; definitely not Islam or Christianity, the two to which most Nigerians belong.

“Religious leaders must intensify their efforts to send out the real teachings of their religion in order to counter the diabolical ideology that motivates the insurgent elements.”

What's stopping these security personnel from arresting that stubborn and criminal-minded thug called Amaechi

Buhari is a disaster in the making.

His first year in office has been spent inside the private jet.

The second year will be the passing of budget.

Third year(then under pressure) campaign and fire brigade approach to awarding of projects.

Buhari is a seasoned nomadic skunk

First two posters/jesters are females... :'


And you expect the gender equality bill to be passed

Abduction of underage girls have heightened after the reward placed on such by the pedophile in-chief of Kano forces.

Rubbish....
After being lashed repeatedly by different men she is here forming whatever.
Blame the Randy and boyish bling bling king

Since Buhari became president of Nigeria,violations by security officials has tripled and yet the Slow,directionless and clueless president has never done anything about it.

Shame to a country with crazy leaders and crazy followers.


Buhari has brought back the animal in our soldiers.

yeepa

EKU— REMINISCENT of the military era, about 10 soldiers flogged and used boots on hundreds of women protesting at Ovre-Eku (Iwevbo) community yesterday, over a land which had been in dispute for years between Edo and Delta states.

The women, numbering over 500, wearing black clothing, had converged at Eku community from where they marched to the disputed land carrying a coffin covered in palm fronds to express their displeasure over alleged sale of the land to an oil company.
Getting to the spot at about 10:45a.m., they were accosted by the soldiers, who ordered the women to leave the site. The women insisted on being addressed by a representative of the company.

Angered by the stand of the women, a senior military officer identified to be the Unit Commander at the site, Lt. E. D. Oworobo, cocked his riffle, threatened to shoot and then ordered his men to flog the women.
Two journalists, including a Vanguard correspondent, who had accompanied the protesting women, suffered the same fate. The soldiers chased the fleeing women into adjoining bushes at the site.
The aged among the women, some in their 80s, who could not run, were trampled on by the soldiers and others flogged with tree stems.

Unit Commander’s reaction When the Unit Commander, Lt. E. Oworobo, was contacted by this reporter to comment on the way and manner the women were treated, he described the reporter as an “idiot and a madman.”

Meanwhile, the soldiers again went berserk at about 11:30a.m., invaded parts of Ovre-Eku community, destroyed nine motorcycles and 13 bicycles, while residents of the community fled, following the arrival of the soldiers in a white Toyota Hilux van.

I hate this old and frustrated bastaad.

Only the gods know how brownish, dirty and hairy the hairs in his pile-ravaged anus are.

Hmmm.... stinking old dullard (spits)

Buhari the silly and lanky dullard

Buhari the inglorious bastaad.
All they care for is how to kidnap and impregnate virgin girls.
May the gods destroy emir sanusi the way he destroyed an innocent Ese Oruru

Islam as a religion has gone to the dogs

Red cap thieves....

we also need the face of the gold-digger whose compound served as the hiding place of the kidnapper and the victim

#JanjaweedTalk "We Did Not Say We Will Employ, We Said We Will Create Jobs." - Lai Mohammed.

Buhari seems to not know the reality on ground, they should tell him that a mudu of rice is now 800 naira, sachet water 20 naira that Nigerians are regretting ever voting for him. They should tell him that foreigners are leaving in droves with their investments thus throwing millions of Nigerians out of jobs due harsh economic policies,: they should tell him to listen to the cry in the street and

opey25:
i hope you wont die of heart attack because of buhari. Do you expect buhari to comment on every criminal issues that happens in the country. If you really want to help Ese, write a petition to the IGP and stop ranting on NL. whether you like it or not Buhari will be the president of this country till 2019 and beyond. If you arent satisfied with the way things are been done in the country,you can migrate to Ghana. you dont even need a visa.

Buhari is the commander in chief of armed forces.....so I dont know what you are talking about.

Buhari and APC came to steal kill and destroy Nigeria.

Buhari is such an illiterate vagabond and a disgrace to Nigeria

“I have ordered the sharia commission to liaise with the office of Deputy Inspector General of police zone to repatriate and reconcile the teenager with her family immediately”-Sanusi


The IG was right after all

Nigeria is one very dirty zoo where all forms of animals parade

olsmade:
What did I say? What do you mean what did I say? Did you see me come on here to defend Yerima? And FYI, child marriage is NOT Islamic. I am no theologian but the instance you all refer to and that most of these pedos refer to was divinely ordained and I'll leave it at that. I will not engage in a back and forth with you over that.

I have told you as it is. You can choose to believe whatever you want.

I am not grounded in Nigerian law but if the law of the land forbids it, then Yerima is as much a criminal as this guy is. If the Nigerian law does not forbid it, then that is really sad.

Bro take it easy.....the dictates of the law has been emasculated and rendered irrelevant by the sharia law.
Otherwise why is alcohol banned in many northern states even when the Nigerian constitution never stated so??

Where in the Nigerian constitution is is amputation made a form punishment for an offence??

Why is Aisha Buhari silent on this matter? I thought she pledged to fight for the rights if the girl child?
Is Islam superior to our constitution?
This silence from Buhari and his sympathisers gives more credence to the allegations by Fayose that there is a grand plan by this old man to islamise Nigeria.
Well neither Buhari nor his wife will ever dare condemn it because they themselves are products and beneficiaries of the evil.

olsmade:
I am a Muslim and I do not know the details of this case but I will drop my 2 cents anyways. From what I gather, he married this underage girl withouth her parents' consent.

That reason, in and of itself, invalidates this 'union' on Islamic grounds.

Secondly, getting married to an underage girl violates the law of the land (I hope) so he is culpable (and should face the music) or isnt there a minimum age in Nigeria below which girls cannot legally consent to sexual intercourse or marriage?

What did you say when Yerima took a toddler as a wife??

Child marriage is simply islamic....stop distorting the fact

obailala:
I just read this report and other reports concerning this matter, could there be something I'm missing?... Was the Emir involved in the kidnap or was it a paedophile called Yinusa?

"Only the Emir can release Ese"-IGP

"The parents said they have involved the police, but efforts to get the Emir of Kano, Mallam Lamido Sanusi, at whose palace the girl is believed to be held to resolve the matter and ensure the return of the 14-year-old to them have proved futile."

Liar Mohammed......Hon. Minister of Misinformation.

Buhari govt. does not require an information minister but a spokesperson, a pathological liar and propagandist.

Buhari/APC govt, being a product of high level conspiracy, threats, deception and propaganda are expected to sooner than later fade out.

Lai Mohammed, the minister of information, has explained why the federal government led by President Muhammadu Buhari has to downsize some of its campaign promises.
Speaking on Channels TV on Sunday, February 28, the minister said that when the All Progressives Congress (APC) was campaigning, the price of crude was $100 a barrel, but now it is $30 a barrel.

“When you campaign, you say you will do A,B, C, but when you win election, you prioritise. “We are still faithful to those promises, but as you have rightly said, when we were campaigning the price of crude was $100 a barrel, today it is $30 a barrel so definitely, we will have to downsize some of the things intended to do but this does not mean abandoning those promises.

“You do not make a budget for four years, you make an annual budget and in this years budget, we have outlined those parts of the policy that we intend to keep. “Those we cannot keep this year, we will keep in 2017, 2018 and 2019.
This is how government works,” he said. Mohammed assured Nigerians that the administration was focused on how to fulfill its campaign promises.

However, he added that the federal government was waiting for the approval of the 2016 budget before it would start implementing its plans. Speaking about the anti-corruption campaign, the minister noted that it may look one-sided because the indicted people are connected to one transaction that is currently being investigated.

Mohammed said that those people facing trial were all connected to the investigation of how the fund meant for the purchase of military equipment was used. He further noted that some members of the APC were also being investigated for other corruption cases which he did not mention. “If you go to the EFCC today and ask them who are the people that are facing charges before them, you are going to find as many APC and as many PDP.

“However, what gives the impression that the fight is one sided is the fact that it is simply one issue that is being investigated now. That is money meant to buy arms which was diverted for other uses and unfortunately, everybody involved in that happened to be in the PDP. From the NSA to others who he had named.

“When you trace this thing, because it is just a particular transaction that is the contract of 2.1 billion dollars that was awarded to equip our soldiers, everybody that you have showed us here have been mentioned as a result of that investigation from that single transaction,” he said. The minister explained that it takes between 34 days and seven years to convict a low profile criminal. However, when that criminal is high profile, it takes as long as 10 years to infinity to convict that person, he added.

Meanwhile, Buhari has recently revealed that he will refuse to honour his pledge to grant N5000 to each unemployed Nigerian. The president added that he would rather focus on funding the construction of infrastructure, as well as education, agriculture and mining to create employment opportunities for able bodied young men. Buhari’s statement was met with furious reactions by Nigerians who voted for change.
