When did Eedris Abdulkareem release the song “Jaga Jaga”?

The revisionism on this thread is golden.

I swearigad. Nigerians deserve what they get.

GloriousGbola:
If you were you would not be asking such questions.

Nobody who was actually working in Nigeria in 2005 would make claims that the economy was bad at the time.

Twaddle. PENCOM was it not 2004? Did the Obasanjo govt not owe retired/retrenched NITEL,PHCN etc staff? Do you know how many ex military officers were still owed pensions from that era that only got reprieve in future govts?

GloriousGbola:
Is Nigeria receiving aid from fellow third world countries or first world countries?

You realise these countries you are referencing have States with bigger economies than nigeria?

Oya Raumdeuter, would you say. 1.4.billion is material to Nigeria right now? Or do we, like the world's super powers have enough resources to play big brother and soft diplomacy?

Between Nigeria and Niger which of them is closer to being first world?

And again spare me the worthless bigger economy excuse. As they are bigger is that an excuse to ignore their own challenges and turn to other nations to help them?

You see now that it is easier to criticize than be objective? I can literally show you why no nation should help less prosperous nations since there will always be a need in that so-called prosperous nation that such monies should have been channeled to.

Revisionist nonsense as usual. As though sanctions were not lifted following Obasanjo's election victory and Nigeria's segue into "Democracy" that allowed for foreign companies to ply their trade in Nigeria.

GloriousGbola:
I was there. You have no idea how heady those days were. People were coming home enmasse. Reverse Japa. This is why despite his flaws I will say obj was our best president.

'It's the economy, stupid!' that phrase is the ultimate measure of any administration.

People were starting work with 250k jobs. You knew all you had to do was hustle and wait and you too would get a great job. I interviewed with. Glo, v mobile, did tests and eventually landed an oil job.

People were hammering on the stock market bubble

Telecoms had opened up multiple industries.

Dollar even briefly dropped. People actually lost money holding dollars at a point.

One of my colleagues at one of my early jobs was complaining.

Who told you I was not there myself? So Jigawa state did not have any use for the 450K USD or what?

GloriousGbola:
the money was not budgeted. We read the words of our finance minister. Whatever the president says.

I don't know why you keep calling the names of prosperous first world countries.

How come we suddenly cannot imitate same countries fiscal responsibility, respect for human rights and adherence to process?

I would even understand if it was analogs to Nigeria being referenced. India, Pakistan. But no, I keep hearing us and Britain.

Maybe I too should allow my spend to be guided by the actions of people with incomes x1000 of mine

This is errant nonsense. Did I not mention current challenges both nations are experiencing that their so-called prosperity could have been channeled towards? When will you also ask for Nigeria to return all the aids we have received?

raumdeuter:
We can argue if we should in our current state be helping other nations. That is one argument but there are counters to it that if our neighbors are insecure we will also share part of that wahala

When your roommate is busy consuming beans all day and you no talk, when his farts no gree you sleep for night

The foreign aid argument in the midst of being broke is the most nonsensical argument ever considering the amount. Money for foreign aid is budgeted. I already said the President now has the discretion as to where and how it is appropriated. There is not a single penny that BoJo gave to Ukraine that could not have been used to alleviate the homelessness or heating/cooling situation in the UK. Yet he still did it because he had to.

GloriousGbola:
Can food relief of locally sourced grains (for an obvious disaster) worth 54m be equated with 1.45 billion of overpriced no bid imported vehicles for a vague purpose?

And 2005 was a much more prosperous time than 2022.

Worth 450K USD. Which is 315M today abi the 1.4B will it not be in dollar rate of today?

Humor me, Nigeria was more prosperous in 2005?

Is that not handball for Guehi?

GloriousGbola:
Let us agree that it is a matter of policy, even though all this helping hand to Niger only started with Buhari.
Which would imply it is not so much policy as his personal whim

Is this Buhari?

FirstbornWds:
The confidence of exhibiting ignorance and getting excited over little things that don't matter by that guy is worth investigating.

Even on a very sunny day some people will never find a bright spot. I tried to tell them that City prefer release clauses because if the market value for Grealish was say 60M, Aston Villa would have said bring 120M or nothing.

GloriousGbola:
This is just money for IFO Kaura, nothing more. Even our greedy senators went to toyota SA and ordered direct.
Toyotas naija reps that we all know were elizade. Today the sole toyota rep in Nigeria is toyota. Nigeria limited.

I would love to see the actual bid documents for supply of these cars at 145m each, especially as there will definitely be import waivers

Google IFO kaura. A company awarded 1.4 billion to import Toyotas has no Internet footprint.

Only God knows how much Buhari is wasting.

This is why amaechi was so confident when he tried to push that ridiculous railway security contract.

Because that is busines as usual in Buharis aso rock

Do we know if Nigeria purchased it for them or just doled out the money? These are examples of communication gaps in the Buhari administration.

GloriousGbola:
I actually did some searching and as I can tell toyota the company does not make not make bullet proof v vehicles.

Every thing I have read indicates that vehicle bullet proofing is a bespoke service typically executed by third parties.

And it is done for high networth individuals, vips, not soldiers.

Which is why I suspect that Las Las if these are bulletproof cars, na Buhari go ride in them when he retires to Niger.

Soldiers are unfortunately disposable and the ogas at the top are not going to be spending 140m or 53m to keep 5 grunts safe.

I keep repeating that I can agree with a policy from an administration and still feel overall they failed.

Do you think the govt of Niger or Nigeria will qualify as VIPs?

raumdeuter:
Tinubu is so corrupt and has pocketed Lagos State. But who is pocketing Abia, Anambra Delta, Kwara Enugu? Taraba Gombe?

Did we not see the clown that was talking fiefdom for Tinubu but there is no fiefdom when Adelekes are involved, like we said they'll do?

raumdeuter:
One must fit

Tribalist people
Terrorist supporter
Alternate account

What other angle

Chronic debtor. That one will surely get likes.

V8 na just engine type. E no mean say the car na luxury vehicle.

GloriousGbola:
Does TOYOTA the company make armoured cars? Or is it third parties that modify Toyotas?

Does everything have to be spelt out?

I dey respect you alot but if the tone does not change anytime soon, I'll either ignore or reply in kind. In my earlier posts I did state that those vehicles can be bulletproofed ON REQUEST.

Who now needs information or words spelt out before they are grasped?

Illimitable:
Alternate account?

The guy will throw sh!t on the wall hoping it sticks. The most insecure fanook you will ever read from in your life.

raumdeuter:
One of them was telling me that Tinubu had no hand in the emergence of Buhari that it was the nPDP like Saraki, Atiku, Amaechi Kwankwanso who made Buharis victory possible. That Tinubu is overrated and has no political clout

Next thing he said Tinubu must be punished for bringing Buhari on Nigerians

People that were cursed with senselessness.

Illimitable:
There are more than 200,000 Nigerian refugees in Niger.

We shouldn’t always let emotions get in the way of facts.

lol for people who have refused to see that a random search online will prove there are bulletproofed Toyota armoured Land Cruisers.

Illimitable:
These people are hilarious. They call Yoruba people slaves that how can they be so docile to allow one man to rule and control all the resources in Lagos.

Meanwhile, they haven’t been going to work every Monday because a terrorist in prison ordered it so. There’s no business operation in the entire SE every Monday for several months now.

But……it’s the Yorubas that are slaves.

Same people claiming that Buhari side-lined BAT and called him slave for it now want to also attach Buhari's failures to him. I don't get it.

Oasis007:


Just a click on Google would get them informed, but seems every tool (propaganda) to discredit this present Administration is a welcome development.

Mind you, there target is actually BAT not PMB per se.

We know the game baba. You know see how if you support Fayemi it is good but if you support the man who brought Fayemi to light, you are bad? Abi the Osinbajo (that I like by the way) no be BAT give am platform? If BAT is Satan for Buhari should he not be Satan for Osinbajo as well?

Some people have never met logic in their entire life.

Bros, I now got tired. You cannot wake people up who are pretending to be asleep.

Illimitable:
One has to laugh at the entire comedy. Obi supporters in their usual gaslighting mode would try and convince you that if APC had chosen Osinbajo or Seyi Makinde instead of Asiwaju, they would have voted for him. That’s a huge lie.

BAT has never governed in the SE. They cannot attribute one true statement of his that was tribally charged. He is more detribalized than Atiku and more religiously-tolerant. Atiku married an Igbo Christian woman and converted her to Islam even changed her name. Tinubu left his own and even supported her to be a Pastor. But he is the one who will Islamize Nigeria not Atiku. Igbos don't hate their governors that did eff all for them but they hate Tinubu all the way in the SW that was a governor of Lagos 15 years ago. lol

Oasis007:


Its not a luxury vehicle bro. Check the link bro, not all Toyota Land Cruisers are luxury vehicles.


https://www.military-today.com/trucks/toyota_land_cruiser.htm

lol

Lord Hundeyin mentioned Land Cruiser V8 so they assume all Land Cruisers are luxury vehicles. Good research never hurt nobody.

Ignorant majority.

Amoto94:
Yes they do have, go and verify.

I don't understand some people. They think they are fighting insecurity in Nigeria if you let the nations sharing border with you to be porous and unfriendly.

Ibukzy:
Imagine an Igbo supporting a candidate from his region Labelling a Yoruba supporting a candidate from his region a tribalist

Please someone should make sense of this

Oyinbo call am "hypocrisy".

Oasis007:


You should read the attachments, especially the second one slowly again and again, until you comprehend the message.

I was about to type "the irony" but you beat me to it.

Kantebets:
He played there occasionally for Brighton but me thinks he will end up taking chilwell spot at LB

As a left back he is streets ahead of Ake so City missed a trick
Besides Chelsea are still in for Fofana

Ake is a back-up LCB and only plays LB out of dire necessity. City were not trying to use Cucu to replace Aké.

Oasis007:


Nope... he's smarter than not recognising sarcasm.

You have more faith than me.
