Where do Chadian and Nigerien cattle rearers take their animals to graze? I believe they graze in their desert ravaged countries. Let the fulani graze their cattle in their states. Period. |
With lack of direction of this government, I make bold to predict the following will happen in the next six months to one year Please, do not call me a prophet of doom. I am not a prophet, but my predictions are simply based on facts. They are hinged on expected results of the government inactions. For example, for one year, there was no economic direction and the government still do not know where it is headed. As of today, all we have is a year budget. PERIOD!!! No rolling plan, no developmental plan, just 2016 budget, so next year, we tinker again and tweak the numbers just like "daily paid labourer does with his wife", collect and chop. It is not sustainable. PREDICTIONS 1. Price of petrol will hit N180 per litre. This is about the equivalent price internationally. Truth is that Nigeria is BROKE and can no longer afford fuel subsidy. 2. Government will devalue Naira to N280 - N300 per USD. Painful as it is, Buhari must make Nigerians swallow this pill. Forget all the shenanigans, they know the truth. 3. There will be scarcity of essential items including food, toiletries etc. Infact some people may not be able to afford toothpaste, milk, toilet paper, etc. So store up used newspapers or learn to use water now. 4. Fuel scarcity will persist as the moribund refineries will continue to gulp money (scarce forex) without commensurate returns. Importation will persist and it will be priced at $$ rate. 5. Inflation will spiral to over 15% making savings useless. Devaluation and inflation are Siamese twins. 6. Electricity supply will at best remain what it is today for a looong while. Do not mind the storytellers promising 3000 to 5000 additional MW. No additional power plant will be ready before 2018-2020 at best, even if it is started today. Unfortunately, we are still media generating the additional MW. Above were some of the results of the Buhari economic sojourn in 1984. Unfortunately, he is towing the same path in 2016. So, instinctively you would expect the same or similar results as it was in 1985 and after. MY ADVICE My advice is, be prepared for the bumpy ride ahead. It will get rougher. It has just started with delays in salaries payment. If you have a domiciliary account with a stable bank, begin to fund it. Hold USD savings now. If you have cash held up in savings or stocks, use it to buy landed property. Also, go and have a small farm to grow what you can feed your family with. Use your back yard if you have one, the rains will continue to fall, same as the sun. This cycle will last at least 7 years. He who has ears, let him/her hear!!! |

EazyMoh:Good question. Most of the oil blocks lease, license or whatever are expiring this year. Were GEJ still the president, the lopsidedness would have been corrected, at least to some extent, but no, the power that be wanted to maintain the status quo, hence a Buhari that had been rejected thrice became the only option to continue the milking of ND. Let us be real for once in this country! Just imagine if the oil is in NW or NE, would we be calling their people militants? Who mines the gold in Zamfara, Osun, Kogi, etc? Do you know the price of gold? As of today gold is $1289 per ounce (oz). The same goes for other precious metals. How much do they pay to the Federation account How much does the cocoa merchants remit to the federation account? Does the herdsmen even pay taxes? Or are these not resources? What is the contribution to the federation account from the various geographical regions compared to what they share (take) from same Federation account? Let us stop deceiving ourselves thinking we are deceiving others. To me the ND has endured enough. - Solution, implement CONFAB reports, afterall, all Nigerian tribes and ethnic nationalities were represented at that CONFAB - Pass PIB, why has the North always used their majority in NASS to suppress this bill? - Commence clean up of damaged environment. Oil exploration has been on-going for about 53 years, NEVER, I repeat NEVER has it occurred to the government that the ND land needed cleaning. - Implement FULL RESOURCE CONTROL. Every community and state in Nigeria has something they have in abundance. If you have cows, price it high to the man who has oil. If you have cocoa, raise the price so that you can also share in the oil money by selling your cocoa to the oil man. Since 1963, when oil was first discovered in ND, the government have been taking and NEVER returning to the people. Lagos was built with oil money, Abuja was built with oil money, yet Gbaramatu, Odi, Yenegoa, the Creeks that bear the oil have no light, no roads, nothing!!! Then someone that lives about 15000 miles away from ND, will come to NL and be talking of "new sherriff in town". Please, go and ask Russia with their military prowess, how much they were able to "deal with" the Ukrainans before they were freed. When a people are pushed to the wall, they fight back! "If you make peaceful change impossible, you make violent change inevitable." |
... senseless analogy. You are borrowing N3 Trillion (46%) of total budget, while Jonathan borrowed only N65 Billion or 2.12% of total budget. Jonathan implemented N18B of the N65B borrowed on road infrastructure (28%), [size=15pt]while Buhari is planning to implement a paltry 6.7% of the N3 Trillion (200Billion/3,000Billion), he is borrowing. The difference is CLEAR!!! Only the ignorant can be deceived!!![/size] |
Hypocrisy!! How did you share our pains? When a retiree cannot receive his pension, yet your 16 year old daughter fly 1st Class on BA? How do you share our pains when your cousin is illegally employed in CBN while first class graduates are roaming the streets? When did you share our pains? How many times did your son sleep at the filling station just to get fuel for his "I better pass my neighbor"? When did you share our pains? Is it by traveling every other week on a residential jet that has gulp billions? How did you share our pains when you increase electricity tariff by 45%, yet you can only generate ZERO Mega watt? How did you share the pains of a Chibok parent, and Agatu widow or the orphan created by your Fulani brothers in Enugu? Mr President, please stop trying to deceive us. We are not dunces in this country, we know the truth!! Get back to WORK on your 181 promises!!! |
Thought the new sheriff is in town? ![]() Dialogue is not necessary. Just implement 2014 confab recommendations. |
Sweetguy25:Do you mind these masturbators? It took him 6 months to appoint ministers, while at that he started playing "try your Luck" with the economy. Today is May 6, 2016, he has not yet assented to budget he submitted to NASS in 2015. Tell me how the last administration contributed to the current fuel shortage! Tell me how the last administration contributed to Zero power generation from about 5000MW handed over to Buhari! Tell me how the last administration contributed to inconclusive elections, inconclusive budget, inconclusive Boko haram defeat, inconclusive electricity, inconclusive asset declaration, inconclusive government!!! Was it the past administration that has created the disaffection between the executive and NASS? Was it Jonathan that re-introduced dual exchange rate? Creating fraud in an otherwise sanitized system!! Was it Jonathan that has made it impossible for a government to pay salaries? Is it Jonathan that has been making provocative statements against a Niger-Delta militants that were at peace with government for 6 years? Is it Jonathan that has made Boko Haram to be in control of over 4 LGAs? Was it Jonathan that "helped" remove Nigeria from list of fast growing economy to nothingness? Or the Fulani Herdsmen are working for Jonathan!!! Thought THERE IS NOTHING LIKE SUBSIDY, today they are paying what does not exist Confused government with more followers. They thought government was rhetoric!!! JESTERS!!! |
By the way, how did CCB verify land at "somewhere" in Port Harcourt? Naija, this should be referred to as "CCB Papers" ![]() |
Keneking:Did you even read the message? Are African/Americans and European blacks Nigerians? Next you will shout Joooooooonathannnnnn as if you have no sense. Please, use your common sense for some progressive initiatives. |
Op, to answer your questions, it is not the colour of the blacks. Blacks in UK, US, Canada obey traffic. They obey the laws, why? Because the law is supreme. However, down in Nigeria, the law is the weapon of the leaders. They do not obey the laws rather use the laws to oppress the followers. They use it as weapon on the opposition. So, their supporter follow suit. This is why we need true democracy and rule of law. What we have today is the rule of the elites and security, EFCC, DSS, army, police. Until we wake up, Nigeria will remain stagnant. In civilised society, the CCTV would capture the scene and everyone involved would receive ticket in their mails, possibly lose their driving licences, that is if they escape jail. Even if there was CCTV, how would it be powered? Who would ensure it was enforced? Who is accountable for ensuring free flow of traffic on that road? Who? Who? Nobody because, we are all cowards that talk, shout, beat chest and DO NOTHING. |
This government self! Fashola is working!!! Power sector has gone nuclear and space science with zero M/Watts Buhari is Budgeting to and fro!!! Lai Mohammed is masquerading!! Ngige is blaming!! Osinbajo is campaigning in office!!! Amaechi is masturbating with Coastal rall when he could not finish 3km monorail in Rivers. Meanwhile no fuel, no light, no food, no forex, inflation has hit double digits, Fulani herdsmen are killing and maiming. kidnappers are having field day, Boko Haram are arm bushing soldiers, states are owing salaries, etc The masses are suffering and smiling!!! Welcome to Nigeria |
madridguy:... and I thought you were smart! |
A country where you allow some people to carry AK47 and roam the cities, towns and villages when they are neither policeman nor soldiers, is out for self destruction. Let everyone defend himself. Get yourself a gun. That is the first line of defence. Once these marauders know that they cannot go scot-free after their heinous crimes, they would think twice. |
So, after 16 years we should be doing the same thing. Pray your life remain stagnant for sixteen years or that your child born now would be same stature and life style after 16 years. ![]() |
APC is, a "future impossible tense" government |
Onu kurunjo ge ku nma! If person no marry two wives, e no go know the one wey better pass! Enjoy your change while it lasts!!! ![]() |
copiescopy:He did not forget, but deliberately decided not to tell us! ![]() Since they already have Oyo and Ogun, they should be restricted to those states. |

joborskill:[size=14pt] Infact may God punish all corrupt politicians including all those that forged their certificates, rig and manipulate electoral process, infact may God punish all those bent on using the courts for selfish reasons. May God destroy all those who see black and call it white, all those lieing to Nigerians, may they perish with their families. As the winds blow away the smoke, may they and their families be blown into oblivion. As ash is scattered by the wind, may they be scattered. May their up spring never see their corpses. [/size] |
Babalegba:Keep on deceiving yourself. The only investment I have in Nigeria today is a building and soon I will adjust the rent to reflect current reality. Just like Buhari, my family is already out if the mess that Buhari is creating. I pity people like you who are holed up in this mess for the rest of your life. Keep singing praises to a confused government. |
Yello1:I was laughing as I read this and people around me were confused. You cannot understand, because they offered Royal Canadian Army Cadet form to my son and I said no, rather he should proceed to the university. |
bettercreature:Sorry, Igbos do not betray their friends for selfish gains. Politics or not, that is why Amaechi is now detested at home. |
DaBullIT:The question is "What have you gained?" |
Emancipation:Good point. They will then create their emirate council and institute emir as they did in Ilorin. Anyone supporting the bill is confused. Can you also suggest that we create poultry, piggery, fishery reserves for other Nigerians? What operates in saner climes is ranch. If you cannot own a ranch, then graze within your locality, simple. I think it is high time Nigerians start defending themselves. Let everyone own a gun and let there be peace. It will even enhance security and safety. A situation where some people will be parading the streets with arms and no one asks question is not acceptable. |
Customs only seize goods in Lagos, hardly hear of seizure in borders between Chad-Nigeria, Niger-Nigeria and Cameroon-Nigeria. May be smugglers do not exist on those axis ![]() |
Mikehell:That one, he is the harbinger of the islamization agenda. Unfortunately, he, Amaechi and Okorocha did not know what they were supporting. When they were warned, they called it politics. Buhari has NEVER hidden his islamization agenda. I am wondering what Papa Adeboye would be feeling now. Being an instrument in the hands of the devil is the biggest mistake any man of God will ever make. |
Clemzzz:Do we have NLC again? Since fuel became #200 where has Ayuba been? Cars that have been budgeted for and paid for from padded APC budget. When are you going to protest against presidential BMW bullet proof cars? When is NLC asking the president to sell off some of the planes in our presidential fleet? When is NLC going to protest hike in electricity tariff? When will Ayuba call out the people to protest INEC inconclusive elections? NLC that could not stand against El-rufai wants to face 108 senators. Mtcheew!!! |

How much does the cocoa merchants remit to the federation account? Does the herdsmen even pay taxes? Or are these not resources?
