bayinq25: I'll not cast any aspersions on buhari yet because I know many are condemning because of loyalty to pdp i'm no an apc believer neither do I believe in pdp but I'll see sense in criticism if we stop looking at Jonathan as one we should have elected or someone we missed ,to me pdp is bad news for Nigeria...
But we are still ruled at the federal level by the same PDP that has become born-to-gain progreTHIEF agents of fake CHANGE, not so
EdCure: Stop spamming nairaland with your nauseating ignorance and idiocy. You obviously havnt been to EDO state all your life.
Unsuspecting veiwers who have not been to Edo since 2009 can easily be deceived by the miriad of lies posted on the internet by an army of ignorant, useful ediots like you heavily funded by the House of Igbinedion Thieves. Y'all mental slaves have your infected tongues glued to the shameless old thief's decomposing ass.
This is not a grammar and vocabulary competition, you hear so stop forming empty verbose Obahiagbon here. Osi-Omo-Ole has been called a THIEF by his predecessor. That is what you should address, ok
OrlandoOwoh: Those who lived in Edo State, Benin City in particular, during the time of Lucky Igbinedion would tell you how the Governor hinged the failure of urban renewal of the city on it being an ancient town. But when Oshiomhole came, he changed Benin City. Ring Road is a site to behold.
What a LOW aspiration black man. He did Ring Road i.e. just one small part of Benin City that is only a portion of Edo state and you are praising him. No wonder the empty-headed comrade was telling a widow to Go & Die even though the useless governor STEALING people's money is largely RESPONSIBLE for her predicament.
Nelson05: Its so unfortunate dat instead of facing trial Nigrian will alway come with one excuse or de other. Dis is not new because it was de same way SANUSI was shown de exit door when he attempted 2 unveil corruption.
Another MISGUIDED and MISINFORMED zombie dullard spotted.
Sanusi was diverting attention from his own corruption palava at CBN, which VP Osinbajo arranged court protection to stop the probe.
barcanista: Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.
Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.
Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien. http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587
13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words... “Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,” “The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”. http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923
Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.
April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion. “What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…" Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)
The decision to suspend the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido was based on a report of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria dated June 7, 2013.
The report was made after a review of Sanusi’s response to the query issued to him by the President over the apex bank’s financial statement of 2012. His response was dated May 20, 2013.
According to a copy of the report obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, the council indicates that the explanation provided by the suspended CBN governor is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
The report read: The particulars of the infractions against Sanusi are:
Persistent refusal and/or negligence to comply with the Public Procurement Act in the procurement practices of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(A) By virtue of Section 15 (1)(a) of the Public Procurement Act, the provisions of the Act are expected to comply to ‘all procurement of goods, works and services carried out by the Federal Government of Nigeria and all procurement entities.’ This definition clearly includes the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(B) It is however regrettable that the Central Bank of Nigeria, under his leadership, has refused and/or neglected to comply with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (PPA). You will recall that one of the primary reasons for the enactment of the PPA was the need to promote transparency, competitiveness, cost of effectiveness and professionalism in the public sector procurement system.
handie: What can I say? Wailers will always wail..... Under GEj, tho d official price was 87, the least u'll see a fuel station sell a litre of PMS was 97. Una kill una sef then?
I thought that was one of the reasons for voting Jonathan out and bringing the CHANGE crooner, Sai Bubu who promised to stabilise oil price among other things. Not so
OrlandoOwoh: You may toe other lines in your argument, not change. You never believed in it. You can't speak on it. You have no understanding of the concept.
Abeg you wey
- understand the concept - believe am
can you speak on how fuel at N400 is change chanji. Thanks.
taharqa: As some people might have known by now, the is an ongoing Rice REVOLUTION taken place in Nigeria presently, only one in what are very positive developments in most Aspects of the nations Agricultural Sector- Cocoa, Oil palm, Cassava, Cotton, Hides and Skins, Sorghum, Corn, Fish, Poultry, Yam, Meat, Cashew,etc- led by the Remarkable Minister for Agriculture, Dr Adewumi Adesina (Forbes African Personality of the year, 2013).
Arising from the well-thought policies/measures been rigorously implemented by the FG and some State Govts, at least 15 NEW Rice Mills have been opened in Nigeria within the last 3 years. Some of these Mills include Ebonyi Agro, Labana Mills in Kebbi, IRS Mills in Kano, Umza Mills in Kano, Ashi Mills in Benue, Mikap Mills in Benue, Ebonyi State Mills (3), Imota Intergrated Mills Lagos, Quarra Mills in Kwara, Attajiri Rill Mills in Sokoto,Integrated Grain Rice Mills in Eke Enugu, Adani Mills in Enugu, etc. Some other Mills are in the process of been completed, and include the Atahi Rice Mill in Jigawa State, Dominion Rice Mills and Farms in Taraba, Al-Uma Mills in Taraba, Omor Mill in Anambra, Kare Hi-tect Mill in Zamfara, etc. Other Mills have been Resuscitated/Expanded during this period like Abakiliki Mill, Badaggi Mill in Niger, Flour Mill Golden Pen Rice Mill. Then there are also the 100 Mills the FG is expecting from China in colla with some State Govts and Private sector players.
Here, are VIDEOs, Pics and Links of some of these Rice Mills.
politricks: Thirdly, we currently dont produce enough rice to satisfy the country's demand so why not achieve that first before thinking of closing the border for good.
How do you encourage INVESTORS into the sector if you do not provide incentives such as market-protection through higher tariffs to discourage imports? Is this not what China, India, Japan etc have done to make their economies grow Why are we so unwilling to make the necessary short-term sacrifice for long term SUSTAINABLE gains? Why?
jomoh: Obviously your soul is lost and it is in your very presence that nigeria will be great under this government and you shall never benefit anything from it.
Let me mark your post so that around May 29, 2019 I can refer to it. I hope that YOU will still be alive if YOUR curse would not have caught up with you.
onatisi: bros , the money sharing has started. we all know how the game is played . 20billion will be the initial ,withing the next few months expect another 40billion. they should tell nigeriana the names of the so called rice farmers they are giving 20billion to
Wait oh, but I thought Sai Bubu told his 200 million mumu fellow citizens that he met an empty treasury and so cannot fulfill his campaign promises ni? So where did he get all the money that he is sharing left, right & centre We have been SCAMMED, walahi!
jomoh: Did you read the part where it is said that it is a CBN initiative.
I think you should direct your insult to CBN governor Emefiele an economist who is in a position to know better which is what he is being paid for.
You mean Sai Bubu as the president is no longer RESPONSIBLE for our economy Chai na how dem take sweep your brain comot so with dem witches broom? So what is he responsible for? Security only Or what else?
Guk: With respect to PYO, pls leave him out of any discourse o! Even BRF dey bow for him. PMB's respect and use of him is deep. He works below the radar, that's his style. Watch out for how d judiciary will change in the next 2years, Judges will be resigning in droves as policies catch wt them. That's how he worked quietly in Lagos and cleaned up the judiciary
These una propaganda is going too far, haba! The same Osinbajo who made billions buying protection for his rich clients from CORRUPTION probe in our courts or are you talking about another one

Guk: With respect to Barth Nnaji/Fashola, Barth's achievement is not lost on Fashola as BRF, within what the law allowed him provided Power to Lagos State via PPP and that's the template APC had mentioned on a number of occasions that they were going to adopt and adapt.
What you are likely to find as an example is that an estate as big as VGC will be allowed to generate and supply power to a minimum number utilising gas. Same for clusters like Trade fair complex; Industrial areas etc. That will be replicated all over the country and it will leave d remaining 4000mw to be shared by poorer areas that can't afford the expensive power provision in estates. In my boss' estate for instance, they pay over =N=50,000 per month for constant electricity and they r not complaining
How many such 'clusters' will be needed to power the whole country adequately
- 100 - 2,000 - 10,000 - 50,000 - even more
Where is the economies of SCALE
Is this how they provide electricity in the US, Canada, USA, South Africa that their economies are prosperous with jobs that we are rushing there to be underemployed?
Why do we like to deceive ourselves so much? How can we make any real progress with such mental LAZINESS? How
Just as he delivered on the aloku scrap metal Toronto trains after collecting $1 billion World Bank loan abi Only Buhari mugus fit get high hope in such a FRAUDULENT smooth TALKER. Not me !!!
