''friends with benefit'' like reading the scriptures, going to church/mosque and the likes bah?

seunmsg:
How do you allow people that said they don’t want the presidency to produce the president? What kind of fuckery is this? So, APC should go to the south east and start begging the same people that vowed never to vote for the party to come and pick up its presidential ticket?

Even here on Nairaland, they said they want Atiku or Kwakwanso in 2023. So, why should we force them to produce the next president?

JosEast:
fear of boko haram is the beginning of wisdom

Firefire:
I am really worried about the increasing death toll...

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

eagleeye2:
The snake charmer should simply get some prayer warriors to do the needful.

Nigeriadondie:
They are very smart soldiers who know that Nigeria isn’t worth dying for.
The only thing that annoys me is that these soldiers would form hardmen if it were shiites and IPOB or other unarmed civilians.

JayPeeOham:
This our Bubu go like to dey go people house when him small ehn with or without invite..........lol

Ozana77:
The man just sit down for that chair like slave. Oh NAIJA

Nickshrapnel:
You know I’ve been wondering about how the new flags would be if Nigeria eventually divides

abbaapple:

This morning with such news

Xclusiveme:
The UN government won't allow it.
The best option for Nigeria is for Europe to send 36 nuclear weapon for each state to eradicate all living creatures. Nigeria was a failed experiment and it should be shut down

BafanaBafana:
ipob and inferiority towards Hausas. you feel Hausas are your lords please enjoy the feeling alone. not everyone has that slavery mentality

Commentor:
You can even have a 50-year plan. Is Buhari not completing all the railways that Goodluck Jonathan started? So many things he is doing now, such as the second Niger Bridge, was he the one who started it?

“Nigerians should not be so narrow-minded. This hatred is making people look at negative things where so many good things are involved.

“If Buhari is planning for the next 15 years, we should hail him because one of our problem is short-sightedness, short plans which can’t take us anywhere. If we have a long term plan, it means we have a vision. Remember Vision 2020?”

hisexcellency34:
I agree with Ozekhome. It can't work. If Obj can fail with the millions he spent, how much does Buhari have to spend?

Kaybaba5:
Naija is in problem

Victor912:
Next level government

FirstSon01:
Well since they don't want to give the LGs the money they should do the work

Tekecoms1:
Kuku tell us you used Dangote Cement to cement your relationship with Dangote.

Two generous men

WalkerMichael:
COMMENDABLE! GREAT INITIATIVE

ursullalinda:
Nice one, more of this should be encouraged. It's better and more engaging than begging. Ability in disability

justmi1:
Good one, but there are more than 20 pedestrian bridges in lagos. They can employ more as time goes on.

FirstSon01:
Nice one from Lagos. Hope other states continue. They're also Human beings.

Government of pictures don start again

MathsChic:
Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.

This woman just come ugly
She nor fit work on her shape

Cocolatti:
Always looking for an opportunity to jet out of the country.
By 2023 Buhari will enter the Guinness book of records as the most traveled President ever in the world

docadams:
Pride before a fall.
I will advice BUA to desists from engaging in a media tussle with NPA, the regulatory body. Even if you win the present media war you are still bound to work under NPA regulatory framework. NPA is your landlord. Atiku INTELS failed to realised/was ignorant of this fact when it adopted a belligerent approach with NPA when it clearly was at fault. Today Intels has been kicked out from the Southern ports for good. Heaven didnt fall.

Biritiko:
Can you defend this nonsensical statement in the court of law?
People like you that specialise in spreading fake news and jargons on social media should be jailed.

Africa’s richest man got a fistful of dollars in Nigerian currency squeeze
Jun 22, 2016


As Nigeria grapples with a foreign exchange crisis, one person stands out in the scramble to obtain hard currency: Aliko Dangote, Africa’s richest man.

When the government restricted the supply of dollars in June 2015 to prop up the value of the Nigerian naira, firms owned by Dangote landed a healthy share of dollars available at the cheap official rate, a study by Reuters shows.

Reuters examined foreign currency transactions made during an 11-week period in March to May this year. Over that time, Dangote businesses were able to buy at least $161 million in hard currency from the central bank. That was around nine percent of all the hard currency the bank sold over the period. In a single week in March, one dollar in every eight went to Dangote companies. There is not enough data to see how that stacks up with the companies’ share of foreign trade.

Compared with buying dollars on the more expensive unofficial market, though, Dangote companies benefited to the tune of about $100 million.
