I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.
“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.
You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.
Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

Have you ever tried to advise any of these financially "struggling" students to FIRST go to a vocational/technical school/college, acquire SKILLS then earn money of their own before deciding if they still want the ACADEMIC enrichment of a university education.What was their reaction? If you never made such suggestion to them, why did you never make such a suggestion? What do you think kept you from giving such advice? |

Just come, don't wake her up now' the guy was saying to the girl. 'mtcheeww what nonsense is this, pls lemme go back to my room jor' I think she made to leave. Then I heard a struggle, more struggle but I maintained my sleeping position and my ears had never been used more than the way it was used on that night. 'Baby why na.. Baby why? Don't do this to me. Haba the person is sleeping and you are complaining' This was the guy begging. What made the guy so sure I was fast asleep even in the midst of struggles and bellows still remains a mystery to me. I could not comprehend why what was happening around me was happening or what both of them were doing in the room to start with until I heard 'Bola stop jor.. You own is just to Bleep me abi' the girl cried? Bleep? I almost jumped up but remained calm. By this time my body had relaxed, and I was thinking if they were going to do it right in my presence although the room was quite dark but the light from the other room was reflecting through the curtains used as divider. 'Baby come now.. hold on' that was Bola talking. This time, I could hear scratching, pulling sounds I still did not flinch. 'Oya remove the hook from your skirt.... Oya pull it na.... ' Immediately my whole body went numb and the only feeling I got was the hot liquid coming out of my vjayjay while I laid motionless...... The hot liquid na piss abi........?

@ OP, thanks for sharing your story that I believe is largely true seeing you just signed up to open this thread. However, this raises a very SALIENT issue for us as Nigerians and our urge to "be on campus" at all costs as if there are no other, even better route to career success than the university! If we have limited financial resources why do we not go to a vocational and/or technical school/college to acquire needed SKILLS that can earn us a good pay or we can open a business/workshop/company providing excellent, quality services to clients? Why not, if not Updated:Those who still feel the urge to pursue ACADEMIC studies in university after acquiring skills and earning good money to finance their studies can still continue on that path. Cheers! |

ThisMeansWAR: lol really? we can do without petroleum? sorry lemme ask, are you drunk? smh
cement really? do you even know how much a bag of cement cost with all the competitions?
even in telecommunication that you lot use as an example, do you want to compare the telecomm industry of Nigeria to that of uk that still have a functioning national network that is putting other private networks on their toes? .. no? here we decided to sell everything in the name of privatization.
you lot don't understand that privatizing any sector of our economy completely will never solve the problem but partially privatizing it is always a way to go. why not retain phcn and allow private investors to also invest in power, that way everyone competes. people chose what is best for them.
what you people don't understand is, every businessman is in business to make money by any means necessary, only government institutions can enforce a true competition.. Is this the model in the US, Canada, UK etc where many Nigerians are running to  I believe our people say that the horses behind are inspired, in their race, by the ones in front, not so? |

obailala: Lol... This is simply an insight into the psyche of the kind of people who support PMB. Unlike the 'G-E-J is G-O-D' squad, most of the people supporting PMB (especially from the south) are purely Nigerians who want a better quality of leadership in their country and these people will call a spade a spade. The allegiance is to good leadership and performance, not to senseless and shameless clannishness or religion.
PMB has committed several annoying gaffes so far in his first 6 months, but only an irrational 'G-E-J is G-O-D' adherent would wail that a 6 months old administration is a failure (compared to a 5 year long disaster of the past). Keep consoling yourself. I wonder how much longer before the scales fall off your eyes also.

Eruditor: You are letting unintelligent wailers get to you. There are a few things you are not taking into consideration and they are affecting your analysis.
GEJ and NOI created this budget PMB is currently working with. In this budget, they allocated only N150B for subsidy fully cognizant of the debts they owed the PMS marketers even before now. Have we forgotten so soon how terrible the "fuel" situation was in May before PMBs swearing-in? Do you recall that the PMS marketers held this country at a stand still because they knew GEJ had refused to settle his debts and they were petrified that PMB (going by his character) would refuse to pay off the same debts.
PMB made a proposal to your NA asking for 413B to help supplement the subsisting budget and the major chunk of that sum is for subsidies on PMS. The FG is ready to make the payments as soon as that proposal succeeds at plenary, but I doubt it has gotten there. I only saw it being superficially discussed 2 weeks back. This is the major issue with the fuel situation.
There are atleast 2 others on this thread that have given salient explanations to some of the issues you raised. I understand your objectivity but we need to be careful when it feels like we are responding to the whims and caprices of ignorant and chronically wailing knaves. You guys keep showing how DAFT your dumb idol is. He did not realise he needed to address this fuel subsidy early abi? Yet his Minister of Propaganda, Alh. LIE Mohammed, was giving us lectures about avoiding "African time". Anyway shebi he said he knows nothing of fuel subsidy! Make una dey follow una deadi body enter grave dey go oh.

ThisMeansWars: I know this exactly will be the response ..
Telecom telecoms telecoms ... Why not use phcn as an example ?  Last time I checked, generator sellers are still smiling to banks and its goverment that is till paying heavy money to build power station and transmison station not the investors .... It's people like you that want us yo believe that once phcn is privatized, our problem will suddenly go away .
Have you considered that what worked in telecoms might not work in other sector ?
we are talking about fuel that has impact on our daily lives you are talking about telecommunications... People can just boycott telecoms industry same way people don't give a hoot about nitel if they decide to have their own cabal , can you say the same about petroleum? Have you ever thought about that? Can you do without petroleum in Nigeria? To start with your last question- YES, we can do without petroleum in Nigeria, albeit with a lot of difficulty. To your reference on PHCN, time, madam, time. The telecoms and CEMENT dynamic change did not happen overnight. Slow & steady still wins the race when one is FOCUSED on the goal and ready to make needed SACRIFICE.........just like going to school for several years before finishing vocational, technical, polytechnic or university and starting a viable personal business of getting a job, not so We BLACK people need to learn to patient;y work towards making steady progress, otherwise we remain SLAVES to the oyinbo "superiors" who nevertheless are EQUALLY intelligent as we are. |

ThisMeansWars: every time obj increseases fuel, he would say he removed subsidy and deregulating downstream.. There are many jingles about it then self canvassing support for it, 6 months later, he is removing the subsidy he already removed before. You now wonder,.. Which subsidy again?
Point is, there are many cabals eating fat on this crises... Even if the government hands off petroleum sector completely, the problem still won't go away and probably get worse... Why?
1st, petrol price will continue to rise, and the government won't be able to do anything about it. Even now that we still have government regulating everything and paying heavily on subsidy, we still have some importers and marketers hoarding fuel to create artificial scarcity in order to make more money .. Now imagine when nobody is regulating nothing .. look at countries like Britain that put everything in the hands of capitalists...a liiter of fuel goes for as high as 500 naira per liter during oil boom the citizens can pay because the minimum way alone covers it but can the same be said about Nigeria where minimum wage is less down 60 pounds? Can you buy fuel at the rate of 300naira per liter when the crude oil price increases again ?
The only solution I would offer is investing more into refineries and supporting private refineries.. That way, the government won't have to import any fuel in to the country, and Any subsidy would be paid to the private refineries or goverment refineries..
That would make importing fuel less lucrative and cabals will disappear in a blink of an eye.
We could even exchange oil for subsidy.. We own the crude oil, we give it to refineries in nigeria free, then they refine and sell to nnigerians at a very cheap rate .. I heard nigeria comsumes less down 100thousand barrel per day, that shouldn't be a problem for Nigeria that produces over 2million barrels per day. Madam, please go and find out how we transited from effectively paying SUBSIDIES to the moribund NITEL and getting shitty telephone service just over 15 years ago to our government RECEIVING licence fees, taxes and even MTN mega-trillion naira fine.You should also find out how we transited from multiple government-owned cement factories and serious shortages, hoarding and high prices to the stiff competition among producers with low prices. REDUCING subsidies is very different from completely REMOVING it and deregulating the market such that we RECEIVE money from private investors instead of paying out to cabals.Britain and other "developed" countries have moved away from loss-making government ownership of producing goods and services to REGULATION of private owners. Then come back let's discuss seriously. Cheers. |
