QuotaSystem:
Why is IPAD crying wolf?

Those criminals that burnt a mosque and 8 Dangote trucks are now lying through their teeth that they haven't attacked northerners. Is it until they parade their heads on the eroded streets of Aba before they would consider it an attack?

We are angling for nothing but peace, and it's really quite unlikely that ibos or any southerner would be attacked, but those secessionists need to guard their utterances and maintain the peace.

please tell your northern brothers to advice your fulani herdsmen to behave like humans... We all want peace in this country,anybody can kill when push beyong limits. Its very wrong for the fulani herdsmen to go about killing women and children in the name of grazing land......
When you kill someone mother,you should expect retaliation nobody is a fool again..
We need peace ..

'nobody has the monopoly of violence'

this is not 1966 nor 1969,if this country venture to another civil war nobody will come out the victor...

koboko69:
The late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua became Nigeria's president on May 29 2007. As at the time, he met an external debt of about $3,348.22 billion, and foreign reserves of about $45.0 billion and also a growing oil price of about $90/barrrel.

The Nigeria's Bonny Light Crude Oil Spot Price FOB which was $95.16 per barrel in January 2008 rose to $146.15 in July 2008 before declining to $76.24 per barrel by October 17 2008. Thus, within four months, it had lost 50% of its peak price.

Within this period, Yar'Adua was able to grow the external reserves to about $64 billion.

During the global financial crises, Nigeria capital markets, and banking industry were hit, coupled with the dwindling oil prices.The nation‘s foreign reserves decelerated from $64
billion in August 2008 to $47 billion as at March 2009, a 27% decrease, as the government had to resort to the ECA which is also part of the national reserves.

However according to records by CBN; Nigeria’s growth trajectory was not significantly impaired. The real Gross domestic Product (GDP) growth rate which averaged 6.29 percent between 2004 and 2007 declined marginally to 5.99 per cent in 2008 rising thereafter to 6.9 percent in 2009. This is often attributed to the impressive performance of the non-oil sector, particularly, agriculture and the continuous implementation of sound macroeconomic policies.
The external reserves was, however, still able to support at least 15 months of imports.

In conclusion, the foreign reserves played a major factor in the survival of the economy before the early dismiss of President Yar'Adua.

Goodluck Jonathan's takeover;

After President's Yar'Adua's Dismiss, President Jonathan took over May 05 2010. He met a foreign reserve of about $47. 7 billion and external debt of about $3.94 billion Dollars.

While Jonathan was unable grow the foreign reserves like his predecessor during the oil boom remains unclear.

However the immeidate past Finance minsiter in her response to Obosanjo's accusations about Jonathan squandering $55bn said below

In conclusion again, according to Okonjo here, The national reserves played a major role in defending the economy.

[b]THE REALITY TODAY

Buhari met $32 bn as external reserves and $63 billion esternal debt even though Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, promptly rose to the defence of Mr. Jonathan’s administration, saying of the $63 billion debt, the administration only incurred $21.8 billion. How the external debt rose to an alarming rate remains unclear. Buhari also met a subsidy debt of about N600bn. How subsidy claims rose from N320bn to a whooping 2 trillion Naira under his administration remains unclear till this day.

Buhari also took over with oil price selling below $50/barrel whch later dwindled to as low as $28/barrel.
The price of crude remains below $50/barrel today.

The current oil production rate have also dwindled with the renewed activities of some misguided, and deluded criminals in the name of Avengers in the ND region.

FINAL CONCLUSION

In conclusion and in the reality today, President Buhari have been trying his best to move the nation forward. Alot of leakages have been plugged, and a solid foundation is being layed down. It will be hypocritical and unfair for anyone not to expect the economy woes of today with the above analysis. With the indications above it is not out of place to say President Buhari inherited a virtually empty Treasury.

I urge every right thinking Nigerian, to criticise this government in good faith and not born our of tribal hatred or the hangover of the fact that the last government was booted out of office. The Economy woes experienced today should be expected by every right thinking Nigerian.

Even the immediate past Finance minister celebrated by some section of the country, warned severally about a very tough econmy.

Lets pass a vote of confidence in President Buhari by clicking Like!!!!

after all these jargons you ended up saying nothing... So you are really trying to say that Buhari have done alots by putting poor Nigerians in worse economic situations...

goodlifehyd1:
Some e-goats would still find a way to abuse the emir, some people are here calling the emir a pedophile while they are busy chasing kids that aint upto 18 on the streets.

am sad that a suppose learned person would support child-marriages.. Its sickening to even consider such thought...
Getting married to 13-18 year old girls is just crazy and inhumane..

olafum1:
The Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi, has advocated a ban on marriage of women below 18 years, saying most of the women suffering from reproductive health challenges were products of such marriages.

The emir, who spoke at a workshop organised by the Northern Islamic Forum in Kano on Tuesday, said time had come when the Muslim community should live by the reality of economic recession and consequences of early marriage.

He said the era when people gave out their daughters in marriage at early ages and asked the husbands to wait till they were ripe was nothing but a deception.
According to Mr. Sanusi, that strategy no longer worked as it had led to cases of divorce and other ugly situations.
The emir recounted that in the past the rich and the poor married four wives and bore between 30 and 40 children because the economy was not only buoyant but also because people were not relying on government for sustenance.

He said though the harsh economic realities now make it impossible for people to feed twice a day these days, “unfortunately our people do not change and somebody with virtually nothing still give birth to 20 or 30 children and this must stop”.
Mr. Sanusi said there was a need to peg the marriage age now because of the challenges early marriage was posing.
According to him, the marriage age in Egypt at present was 18 while that of Malaysia and Morocco were 19 and 17 respectively, asking “why not we here urgently call for pegging of marriage ages within Muslim Umma in Nigeria?”

He argued that since Nigeria Muslims also practice the Malikiys School of thought as these countries, “we should follow suit and peg our own marriage ages for our own good”.
Mr. Sanusi called on the relevant authorities to create a law that would punish anybody that gave birth to children and allowed them to suffer.
According to him, most of those neglected children not only turned victims of social vices but also engage in terrorism.

hypocrisy is worse than ebola, so after taking an 18 year old bride you now wants others not to do same. Wonders shall never end...
Please Sir/emir tell that to the winds..

ibedun:
The fat puff puff face, Jonathan that dumb brought us here. I pity people with children, Kai they will suffer chai.

am not saying that jona was perfect but things were better in his socalled bad administration.. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the angel you dont know... Buhari is not a good economic planner and the nation is currently suffering cos of that,dont tell me about low oil prices because its not only Nigeria that is experiencing low prices..
The problem is that since 1960 most of our leaders have been stealing and stealing with no plan for the future, so its hypocritical to blame all Nigeria's corruption-driven-problems on Jona's 8 years rule... Nigerians forgets so easily,remember we have 3 leaders called Abacha,ibb and obj please take a few minutes and look at how much monies went missing unaccounted for,yet today they are now saints..
Iso right...

ijija:
The mofos actually know but buhari insists on being the chief economist of his regime. What do you want want the mofos to do. Argue with the emperor?

i seems to agree with your view, but why take up a job where you wont be allow to exercise your mental ability and discretion..

repogirl:
lol! Don't mind them....they are scared of using the term, so that it doesn't appear as if they have finally given in to what they were supposed to do months ago.

Trail and error government!

devaluation should have been done 8 months ago, this Government is completely confused.... Buhari needs to beg Okonjo and sanusi to join his economic team... The mofos in his team dont know jack about managing a national economy,especially that lady minister who only knows how to speak with british accent...

valencia25:
Ranieri was sacked before getting Leceister job and they almost got relagated last season before this season triumph.

Do not underestimate 'COMMITMENT IN FOOTBALL', it can turn ANYTHING around.
I'm happy we're getting mourinho because of his never die spirit which he always take everywhere he goes.

His Chelsea shambles was due to mismanagement and I'm sure he must have learnt one or two things from there.

So, your point again?

its was destined for Ranieri to win atleast one League title in his coaching career,he has never won one before..
Mourinho never change he is a 2 season wonder and the third season is always a tsunami where he destroys every achievement of the previous seasons.. I was expecting to be a bit patient with Van gaal considering the fact that most of the manchester united players were now accustomed to his philosophy...

valencia25:
He only signed 2years contract and it has just expired. They didn't sack him, his contract wasn't renewed, the OP should change the topic to 'Manutd Failed To Renew LVG Contract'.

Jose mourinho to be announced tomorrow, watch this space.

A new Era has just begun and we can safely assume that Arsenal has lost 6 points already next season.

i can confidently assume that Man u will spend over £500M but end up winning nada... A man who was sacked 6 months ago with a ridiculous season is now a saviour for another sinking ship .... Iso right..

flexxyworld:
'Lose' van gaal.!
I just can't wait too watch the real classic premier league next season. 'Mourinho, guardiola, conte, pocchetino, raneiri, mazzarri, wenger' all coaching. In the EPL, simeone. We await yo!


After so many ATTEMPTs lately, FP&FTC
Moral lesson : never give up on your dreams, cheers! What a way too start my week.

and you think MOU will just come and start picking trophies, hmmm time shall tell.
Though van gaal spent over £250M for only the FA cup to show for... The glory hunting culture of some clubs is just mind-blowing...

papparatzzi2013:
Dokubo dokubo, the freedom fighter that did not bother to site his investments in the land he claimed he was fighting for.

The freedom fighter that did not use his investments to provide job for the jobless youths of ND, but would rather export such employment to neighbouring countries.

You have been too quiet lately.

Nice to hear your voice at last.

May the go Lord allow the daughters in your lineage to be involved in such a scam. Simple.

bros theres no need attacking the messenger please take a ''non-APC-mindset'' for just 5 minutes and critically look at his message forget any tribal/religious/political sentiments.. You will then know that 'chibok girls drama' was a scam...
