₦airaland Forum

The suspension of operations is attributed to the airline’s inability to renew insurance cover as well as its failure to pay backlogs of fuel debt running into billions of naira

As expected people will begin to insult the President, rather facing the man who could not manage his business. In the mist of these economy down turn some businesses are smelling to the bank. As for Arik, I am not surprise at this, the arrogance and no regard for common passengers may have contributed too. I remember, sometime last year, they had issue with FAAN for none payment of monies owned to FAAN workers. I have promised myself not fly Arik as my first choice after a bitter experience I had on one of their flight to SA.

Please, God I know your thought for Nigeria is not thought of evil, but to move us to a better state. If our wishes are to be temporary answered, one would appreciate if you return them back to era when Boko haram was running riot in North east and central. When people are not sure if they would go back home to meet their love one. God, please I know you love us so much, but if it would be possible return them to that era of one day one bomb, the days of nyanya bombing, Maraba catholic church bombing. The era when looting was done with impunity and customs officer do go to dubai for weekend. God please, return them to era when the office of NSA was looters ATM.
However Almighty, I know you will not answer these prayer, because you would not want us to behave live the Israelis, I mean the true Isrealis in the bible not those parading themselves as jews, while they behave like philistine. Who wish to go back to egypt. May that not be my portion.

todayboy:
I only see media trial and propaganda

After all this the clown president buhari will still call her husband for help

She invited herself to the matter. Before, did you know she was involved unit she filed a suit.

herzern:
"Residents of Gwoza town holds eid-el-fitr prayers"...


That should be "Residents of Gwoza's problem"....not Nairalander's....

Is nairalander a name of person or a country?

abokibuhari:
economy is everything bro

Economy without security is nothing. You are able to type what you did because, you are currently, because nigeria have not degenerate to alepo, Syria or Somalia.

idee91:
You would have preferred to see " bomb blast rocks konduga abi ?..... smh !!

Simply put they are disappointed by the development. They would been happy to see bomb blast forgetting that they might be the next victim.

abokibuhari:
Propaganda

It is a propaganda because it a good news for Nigeria and credit to the present government. It is a propaganda because it has no room to rain insults on the president.

Economy is not everything and everything is not economy.

If this is also true, then it is a lesson for some irresponsible journalist and editor who are lazy to thorough job before putting up publication. Just yesterday, a purported facebook message making around, was the President have release5 Kabiru sokoto. I have put my ears on ground to hear the same news from other quarters, but none.

GoggleB:
APC has failed Nigerians..
BUHARI has failed Nigerians.

Buhari has failed Nigerian because, Boko haram have not chase us out of Nigeria, like what is going on in Somalia, Syria etc. He has also failed Nigeria because oil bunker are hungry and on the run. He also has failed because the IDP are gradually finding their feet at their homes they left two years.

Economy is not everything and everything is not economy.

Assuming this true, why are we crying woes? What happened to prison swab for chibok girls? Assuming that this is true, because, I did not see on AIT news bulletin. Why the face book.

ghostmist:
Stop trying to be politically correct.... say the fvcking truth.


GEJ was about wiping them out already....

Was about. Hmmm

todayboy:
Thief woman

Thief for empowering people with skill. It is very obvious must don't understand what it means to empower just one person with skill. The ripple effect. I the story is true, the her kind of thief is commendable.

Otono123:
I thought they said it was GEJ and PDP that loots the country in to recession so why are they shifting pole?

GEJ and PDP still responsible through arm wing, Avengers. Remember, their financial patron is member of PDP.

Tallesty1:
Not Jonathan? I am disappointed

Not out of It. Remember he is the patron of avengers.

okosodo:
You guys should keep on deceiving those that believe you

O yes you are right. People have the right to choose what the believe and what they want to believe. However, the question I think you you did not address, does this vandal activities form part of the reason why the economy is affected.

I will be an act of irresponsibility if I fail to acknowledge the mercy of God in Nigeria. Secondly, we may be complaining about the economy, but we have taken time to reflect on those days when boko hara was running riot. One day, one bomb. To the extent they got closer to Aso rock and people where living in fear. What would have happened if Boko haram where not cut to size by God through this administration. If God had allowed things to degenerate like what we have in Syria, Mali, Iraq, just to mention a few. Would we still be lamenting our economy or praying for safety first?

In summary, let encourage everyone not to totally look their way, but support this administration to get the economy back like in the day of Pre-oil boom.

God bless Nigeria.

IVORY2009:
is this the change we have all been waiting 4? This minister seems to be high, I guess, more suffering awaiting millions of Nigerians, if this comes to pass....

Please, did you read the full story? The minister started by stating how much nigeria spend on import food from abroad. Secondly, he said if we as nation refuse to do something, the cost will increase. So what is cry.

From the response and comment made thus far, I can barely count just 3 person who stuck to question raised by the OP. It does appear that 97% of our youth in this forum are even more confused and have derailed from the main thing. What OP simply asked who do think is fit to take over from PMB, in event he is not voted back. Rather, mentioning names, some are busy raining insults on themselves.
However, I am surprise nobody has mentioned Atiku. To me that simply means, with his alleged corrupt tendencies, Nigeria are not in for him. With all this, it very clear to me that PMB disposition on corruption is not a wrong idea. Our politician remains the main problem and invariably we are supporting them unknowingly.
Saraki, Atiku, Kwankwaso is no match for PMB and yet to see who can take that power away from him. A simple litmus test, ask the returnee IDPs.

Swiftlee:
He and his cabinet members should also enroll their children in Nigerian schools before they come to tell us about personal change. I support omokri, this change is a scam!

Yes, you are right. The change is a scam, PMB bought the 10 planes. O yes, I remember PMB rejecting the proposal to buy a new car immediately he resume. That contract was initiated by last administration. I also remember, the last administration was in kanya with over 60 delegate for AU meeting. Omokiri please, change gear and strategy. This one is not working. Oga Omokiri why Arik? That is where you have interest. You want the government to help you boost your return on investment.

NaYouGoTire:
Doesn't mean anything to sane people, you are roaming about is because you never discover whom you really are. The guy asked a simple
question, what is your identity as a Nigerian? The
moment you were able to provide an answer to
that question your sense will begin to reason.

It will not make meaning because you can't understand why the Kanu is still in kuje despite the protest and graga.

NaYouGoTire:
You have not made any sense regarding what that guy wrote, how many times your gov tried inducing Kanu to abandon Biafra struggle? Several several! The guy asked a simple question, what is your identity as a Nigerian? The moment you were able to provide an answer to that question your sense will begin to reason.

Simple, I am a Nigerian, where people are hard working and they do their best to make the world a better place. Except that some disgruntled elements who have dual citizenship are ill bent to destroyed what we have. Only for them to run back to the country they have assumed citizenship, forgetting if the origin did not work and strive for peace, they will not be opportune to live in that country.

NaYouGoTire:
You have not made any sense regarding what that guy wrote, how many times your gov tried inducing Kanu to abandon Biafra struggle? Several several!

The sense, you can't takeaway is that, at this very moment the "Kanu" is still in Kuje prison. Proof otherwise and I will tender my un- reversed apology.

NaYouGoTire:
Why is it that child of failure never compares himself with the person that took first in the class? Rather, telling his parents that someone took 49 out of 50? Evil and failure is what Nigeria gov emulate so fast.

Civilized people who want secession go through the diplomatic process, not the call for arms and inciting people. I am just reminding what it looks like to be under dictator.

SpeedOfLight:
I concur with your last statement "there is honour even in the zoo", Kanu was civil enough because zoo is better than this shit hole you called country. The greatest mistake you and I will do is to allow our children to suffer what we experienced, so the earlier we dismantle the animal farm the better for us and generations to come.

The same mission to dismantle the "animal farm" landed the young man into prison. Uwazurike started his during obasanjo, he got settled. Tompolo and co started theirs, they got settled during Yar'uda, amplified by GEJ. Kanu thought he has seen another opportunity, started his, instead of receiving settlement, he received Kuje prison. He mis-calculated the man in power does not have soft spot for miscreants.
Shepard of the "animal farm" is actually doing well.

thedarkside:
hmm..here we go again with "we" again...you people can not just stop trying to speak for others.........

what are you people still doing in nairaland??...i thought you created a biafraland....?'??

They think nairaland will decide 2019. I only pity the young man, who has spent 1 year outside his home and his new boy. Those who are working freely are busy ranting in this forum and writing tributes. I wish they would spend a night in kuje and see how it look like.

SpeedOfLight:
Dictatorship in forward gear!

If Buhari is dictator, I wonder what you will the north Korean leader who executed a member of his team for sleeping will the meeting is going on. Maybe a democratic civilian president with every sense of humility. Discipline is virtue!

jesse8048:
Only the masses keep making sacrifices. The change begins with BUHARI, osinbanjo, dogara, saraki, all Nass, ministers, governors, then we will join them later.

I am sure most nigerians are not aware since may 2015, the president and vice had their salary slashed. Secondly, number of ministers are less than what we had in the recent past. In any of travel his delegates have been less than what we are used to.

bayelsaowei:
did she steal the money??

Not yet. She is still planning. Let me ask you, if the lady in question was to be your siblings, would you be proud that her name was mentioned in this scam?

Chuksyno:
No one is Angel in naija government not even chief corruption fighter. A wasteful person is worst than a corrupt person. Masses are suffering but over N5 billion had been spent on air fleet just within a year and three months. Just Imagine!

How much was spent in 2013, 2014? N6 and N8 billion respectively. So because no one is saint nigeria should collapse. Going by your definition the last administration was both wasteful and corrupt. If can't teach your children or siblings best value about life, then keep encouraging corruption.

Why are there no infrastructure good health and enough food in first place? Can you trace all these to corruption?

jmichlins:
Please no more distraction from pressing issues. War against corruption should be taken away from media and let us only hear of the songs of victory. Do your investigation on the background and prosecute them then tell us. The issue now is everything is Nigeria is falling and failing except hunger and poverty which gbs been on the rise.
