GenBuhari: ^ Sorry but your post makes no logical sense to me.

What point are you trying to make?

Fool,you are to ignorant people like you are the reason why nigeria is moving backwards.

YOUR HEAD IS NOT IN THE RIGHT PLACE,A COUNTRY THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED BY NOW.A GUY WHO HAS EVEN BEEN PROVED TO HAVE BEEN STEALING OUR MONEY,A GUY WHO DAILY MEAL COSTS 30,000 US DOLLARS A DAY.
IN 2 DAYS HE WOULD HAVE EATEN THE AVERAGE UK'S MPS ANNUAL SALARIES.

SEE NIGERIA WILL NEVER CHANGE BECAUSE THEY NEVER TAKE THE CHANCE.


OK ITS LIKE THIS,IN THE UK WHERE I WAS BORN AND RAISED,IN THE LAST ELECTIONS WE HAD, THE PEOPLE VOTED FOR THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY WHO WON,BECAUSE THEY WERE TIRED OF LABOUR IN POWER,BUT HEAR ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH LABOUR,THEY WORKED EXTREMELY HARD,THEY HAD TACTICS AND THEY WERE REALLY BUILDING THE UK'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND ECONOMY.
NOW EVERYONE IS REGRETTING THEIR VOTE. BUT THEY TOOK THEIR CHANCE.AND THATS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MY STORY.


PDP IS NOT WORKING,SO WHY DO FOOLISH NIGERIANS STILL WANT THEM IM POWER.

I'M BEGGING YOU PLEASE TAKE THE CHANCE.

mr ikay: PLEASE BROTHERS. We may have our differences but PLEASE NO INSULTS.

IGNORANCE IS BLISS,MR.MAN THERES NO NEED TO DEFEND THE DEVIL.

SECONDLY,IS IT YOUR BUSINESS.

plaindealer: Again dummy, those are test train, not the actual trains the state bought from Canada and currently in the US for upgrades. They are electric car and not locomotives.

Where is this ignorant olodo from gan sef.?

WE all know that.But it being upgraded or not,its second hand,again its something the canadians have not used in over 50 years.

A country as rich as Nigeria should be on top of all the world class train services,but no we are going to spend millions of pounds on used trains.

I FEEL SO SICK.LOOK AT THOSE POOR TWENTY-HAND USED HUNDRED YEARS OLD TRAINS THAT PEOPLE ARE BLESSING.
SUFFERING.


JONATHAN AND HIS 40 LAPTOP COMRADES WILL NOT CERTAINLY NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS.

GenBuhari: ^^Are you sure you understand the meaning of the word?

YES IT DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE.

GenBuhari: Buhari onlyabused the human rights of thiefs looters, armed robbers and drug dealers - and I support him fully!

He managed the PTF judiciously in fact it was the man brought in by Thief Obasanjo to probe the PTF, that ended up being accused of embezzlement.

How exactly did Obj leave Nigeria better than he met it? You trying to turn history on its head.

Thief Obasanjo met Nigeria with Oil -rich Bakassi land, he gave it away.

Thief Obasanjo met Nigeria with our national Air carrier Nigeria Airways - he liquidised it.

Thief Obasanjo met Nigeria with relatively strong currency and low fuel prices; he devalued Naira from $1= N22 to $1=N135 whilst at the same time increasing fuel prices from N16 per litre to N75 per litre.

YOU are extremely ignorant.

PapaBrowne: I like this infomation because it exposes to us how poor we are as a nation and explains why we don't have the kind of infrastructure you see in other countries. Some people want us to be like UAE or USA or UK overnight without realizing that we are not as productive as these countries.

And for those who think that this poverty is a failure of Government alone should ask themselves what they've done in their own capacity to grow this country.


Look at the collective revenue of the top 10 companies(Sales) in Switzerland and you'll understand better the meaning of productivity. These companies would be taxed by their governments and in turn would contribute to their budgets which would then reflect in things like infrastructure, social services etc.

Switzerland top 5 Revenues
Vitol9Commodities): $303 Billion
Glencore(Commodities): $217 Billion
Trifigura(Commodities):$122 Billion
Nestle(Food): $100 Billion
Zurich IG(Finance): $70 Billion
Novartis(Pharma): $57 Billion
Roche(Pharma): $50 Billion
UBS(Finance): $48 Billion
CreditSuisse(Finance): $42 Billion
ABB(Power): $40 Billion

Each an everyone of these companies bring more money to their countries than all the oil that Nigeria produces. To think that the population of Switzerland is just 8 million.

The logic is simple. Only a productive nation can have big budgets to spend on infrastructure and social services. And the private sector is the harbinger of productivity. The Governments only responsibility is to create an enabling environment. When as a nation we start choosing production over consumption, then we would begin to see changes. We have a funny culture that see our capital being allocated to over priced real estate and cars. Every jeep you see roaming our streets could have started a small factory. Every property sold in Lagos could have started medium sized factory. Our cultures must change for us to see better budgets and in turn better infrastructure.

And,listen i know more about infrastructure than anyone i know.
i studied development for quite a long time.
nigeria produces way more money than any country in the world in natural resources. 27 billion or whatever you said is just what they spend on the budget.DO YOU REALLY THINK THOSE CORRUPT NIGERIANS LEASDERS ARE GOING TO REALLLY USE ALL THERE INCOME ON OUR NEEDS.
You need to release reality that nigeria has way more(up to fifty percent more)money than it need to develop itself in a year.

And do you know how much the swiss economy is worth,600 billion dollars. So i have no idea how you got such results of those so called top 5 revenues.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

NOT ALL MONEY IS SPENT ON THE COUNTRIES BUDGET.

SO WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM,A COUNTRY LIKE NIGERIA THAT GENERATES MORE THAN 90 BILLION POUNDS A YEAR JUST IN OIL AND GAS. TALKING ABOUT OUR OTHER RESOURCES,ITS UNDENIABLE TO SAY WE ARE THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTY IN THE WORLD.

speedyboi: See this guy ooo! What my dad has achieved, its a fact you can't even perceive a smell of getting there in 20 years!
The 'capital' in F'C'T indicates that FCT as a territory is the capital of the whole country...it doesn't mean the capital is embedded in FCT or whatever you mean.

In your state and capital rhyme, it is;
FCT - Abuja and not
FCT - FCT

Why am I even educating you? When you've clearly ignored the function of google to come and show your ignorance here. I reside in Abuja, so you can't know more than I do! I'm pretty sure you've probably not stepped into the gate of FCT before. I'm done with you and your 'followers'. I'm out!

It's now clear you have no idea what you are saying.

Vires: What is this state and rhyme you keep blabbing
Obviously you were taught by bad teachers

And you didn't answer any of the questions I posed to you

looool,thats exactly what i am thinking.

kingoflag: if ure truly an economist ud know uve had worse. U dont even have any accurate data on ur demographics and population and u think uve never suffered a recession. Lol smh

MR.MAN,SO YOU'RE TELLING ME I HAVE WRONG INFORMATION.NO PLEASE EXPLAIN,I AM NOT AS IGNORANT OR ARROGANT AND THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN SO PLEASE TELL ME AND EXPLAIN WHAT I HAVE SAID WRONG.

>: EXPLAIN NOW.

speedyboi: You don't know what you are talking about,...so just shut it!

FCT is a Territory, Abuja is the capital.

Kubwa is one of the outskirts. Are we clear now?

I am not your illiterate father,fct clearly stands for FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY meaning it contains the capital,meaning if you still do not understand its REPRESENTING ABUJA BY COVERAGE.

And fct was specifically categorised as not a state,the reason for that is lagos,so if the population expands,they will expand the planned city of abuja into the rest of fct.

speedyboi: by the way, Kubwa is not Abuja! Just part of FCT.

FCT IS ABUJA,DON'T BE DECEIVED.

Some residents of Court of Appeal Estate II in Kubwa, a satellite town in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja got the shock of their lives on Saturday as bulldozers from the Department of Development Control pulled down their buildings without notice. Those affected were living along railway corridors in the area.

An eye witness, Kingsley Ohen, who is a younger brother to one of the victims, said he received a distress call from his sister that their building was being pulled down.

“When I arrived at my sister’s house, I was shocked at what was going on in the area. I met her devastated and confused due to the suddenness of the demolition. As you can see, everybody is running around due to confusion caused by their sudden appearance,” Kingsley said.

Although he agreed that they were given until this August to vacate the area, no actual date was given and residents assumed that it would be the last day in August.

Mrs. Justina Acha, one of the victims, said, “I was cooking, when members of the development control arrived our estate with bulldozers and mobile policemen and announced to us that they are to pull down our buildings. We were confused and begged them to give us more time to vacate since we are still in August but they refused and started demolishing our houses,” she said.

When asked if they were properly notified of the demolition date and compensated, Mrs. Acha said they paid N5.5 million to owners of 2-bedroom flats and N6 million to owners of 3-bedroom flats. She claimed, however, that they were underpaid as that amount was not enough for such houses anywhere within Kubwa.

Some other victims where unable to speak with Nigerian Telegraph as they were all busy salvaging what they could of their property before the buildings were finally pulled down.

When contacted, officials of the Development Control carrying out the demolition exercise said that the demolition commenced yesterday afternoon but declined further comments. They referred Nigerian Telegraph to their office for more comments on the matter.

Meanwhile, Mr. Nathaniel Temije, an assistant director, Monitoring and Enforcement said, on Friday, that all buildings on the railway corridors would be removed to pave way for ongoing construction of rail lines in the territory...



FIRST I WANT TO KNOW WHO THIS WICKED GOVERNMENT IS FOOLING,THEY PAID ONE PERSON OUT OF HOW MUCH,PLUS THE SUMS DON'T EVEN COVER 1/8 OUT THE HOUSE.
AND I WILL KNOW SINCE I BOUGHT A HOUSE IN ABUJA

Dagoma: You are the one that need to check your head for possible crack. These people built their houses illegally, despite that they were duely compensated and given notice to vacate. What else can any responsible government do for illegal settler? Infact, this is the highest level of simpathy one can show to them.

Did you read your incorrect statement,firstly the government DID not pay out compensation,second i wonder what nigeria you live in. Is not everything in nigeria illegal,from the government to the people, you are an hypocritical fraudulent nigerian like your government.

Boyano: They were given till August and Nigerians r waiting till end of August, the Govt is fair enough na August is August why are they confused?

IS THERE SOMETHING MENTALLY WRONG WITH YOU.

HOW IS A POOR MAN GOING TO FIND AN STRUCTURING HOME IN ANYTIME AT ALL.

WHY ARE NIGERIANS SO HEARTLESS.

t-something:
Can you sincerely say the road to your house looks anything like what you have posted? Can't you see how foolish you are?

You go about taking beautiful pictures so as to praise your master and force people to see him as the best governor on earth , yet you can't post the pictures of your own street where you live because you are ashamed of it. You go about posting pictures of water works , yet you depend on mei-ruwa for water. Bloody shameless hypocrite.

Someone who is suffering from bad road is putting up this article , so as to attract the attention of your elitist governor , and your here barking him down! Are you this shallow? Don't you have conscience?

Where have you been this whole time.

You speak of truth.

GenBuhari: Problem is those so called achievements were almost none existent and the long posts were just too many words with very little content.

SHUT UP YOU c..t
you are just angry caused he did nigeria a big favour by saving us from that inhumane person called abacha.YOUR HATED FATHER.

See,the problem with nigeria and nigerians is that everyone is lazy,here in the uk they will build a new house development
where they will relocate people before destroying the former habitat.


The government means no good doing this,infact is just creating a bigger problem,leaving those who lost all possessions to scramble for nothing and leaving the poor to die unnecessarily,and the reason i use unnecessarily is very simple,why is a country thats earning so much money suffering its people. Me who is an economist i'm proud to say nigeria has not EVER had any recessions,credit crunch,economic crises or any money problems.Surprisingly, after how much the immoral government is stealing.

f18spitfire: GUSAU—Senator Kabir Marafa, representing Zamfara Central Zone, named by a
national daily as one of the 24 Senators allegedly collecting N35 million as salaries
monthly, has threatened to resign if it is proven that he actually collects such
amount.
Marafa, who spoke in a chat with newsmen, wondered why the said newspapers
could publish such a fabricated story to cause trouble.
According to him, even if senators were collecting what the paper had claimed, he
saw nothing bad in it, because none of them had requested for it and were not
paying themselves or asked how much they
should be earning.
The senator who was in Gusau to celebrate the Sallah, also noted that it was better
for the media house to talk about the increasing corruption bedeviling the country,
instead of such mischievous publication against the senators, describing it “as
baseless, un-true and an attempt to tarnish the image of the senate.”
On the issue of the controversial early marriage, the lawmaker said: “We have
different cultures and religions and we live peacefully with one another and you
cannot compel me to do things the way you do, or force me to either be a Muslim or
a Christian.”

THATS NONSENSE,IN FACT WE ALL KNOW HE EARNS WAY MORE A MONTH.NIGERIA

Alxmyr: Its not only in Nigeria that we lack sense of history.
I read recently in a blog where Ugandan youths are praising Idi Amin Dada.

ABSOLUTELY.

GenBuhari: [size=18pt]Nigerian youths are too ignorant and easily deceived.

Let me simplify things in terms you may understand:

Abacha was a very good leader!

During Abacha's rule (1993-1998) Nigeria's sporting achievements were at their best!

We won 2 gold medals 1996 olympics

We won Africa Cup of Nations 1994

Nigeria's supereagles were beating big teams like Brazil, Italy and Spain.


If you want to consider his economic performance, you would be equally impressed[/size]

What does highly corruption,and deaths of thousands nigerians,have to due with terrible sport achievements.
See,you need to stop your hypocrisy.ITS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE ITS JUST REALLY ANNOYING.

AND FOR PEOPLE OUT THERE,THOTH IS GEN BUHARI'S SECOND ACCOUNT HE USES TO TRY AND CONVINCES WEAK NIGERIANS.

SO DO NOT FALL FOR HIS TRICKS.

Nmeri17: Well, if you were already a grown up when abacha was the head of state i guess this post is not for you.As for me, i grew up to hear alot of horrible stories about abacha and how he's responsible for all of nigeria's problems. I was also made to believe that that he's the worst thing that has ever happened to this country.well i happened to stumble upon this, will i say -write-up-documentary..It actually went a long way in opening my in opening my eyes and getting to know about who the man really was and what it was like during his regime.The 'documentary' should have been title the chronicles of abacha because it goes to the very most tiniest detail of everything you will like to know about the man.. EXCERPTS

What if I tell you that General SANINEGERI A MOHAMMED ABACHA, Nigeria’s seventh military head of state and the most popular Kanuri person in the world was regarded as the most patient man on earth? My Mum, the Ogidi herself never forgets her airport encounter with him, she was thoroughly stupefied at his height. It was fifteen years ago. A man of diminutive stature (5ft, 6inches). A man of fire, iron and steel, the General lorded absolute power and unbridled authority over 120 million souls.
Not even Generals dare cross his path. Those who did, knelt and wept before him while he offered them tissue paper to wipe their salty tears. Not even a plea from the Pope could melt his heart. Mandela begged him to no avail. No one messed with Abacha. He was gentle. Listening. Cunning. Daring. Attentive. Dangerous. Brave. Brutal. When an American ambassador was irritating the late maximum tyrant, he almost paid with his life. But who was SANI ABACHA, Nigeria’s most enigmatic ruler, and the first head of state to die in office without violence (a man of many firsts as you will soon see)? Why and how he almost blew General Diya out of existence? Why his last son was shot in 2011? His links with America’s most secretive Christian group, Boko Haram and Imam Abubakar Shekau, its leader and Nigeria’s most wanted man?Abacha was the first officer in the military to rise from the rank of a 2nd lieutenant to that of a General without skipping any rank.....

BUT WHEN HE DIES THEY WILL BE SOME BASTARDSS LIKE YOURSELF WHO WILL COME OUT AND SAY NONSENSE THAT YES HE WAS NOT A BAD LEADER.
I REST MY CASE.

yomalex: US talk show host Oprah Winfrey says she was the victim of racism during a recent visit to Switzerland.

She said an assistant refused to serve her in an upmarket handbag shop in Zurich.

Winfrey, one of the world's richest women, was apparently told the bags on display were "too expensive" for her.

Her claims, made to a US television programme, come amid a political row over plans by some Swiss towns to ban asylum-seekers from some public places.

The BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Berne says human rights groups have likened the plans - which include banning asylum-seekers from swimming pools, playing fields and libraries - to apartheid.


Proof
Winfrey, who stars in Lee Daniels' new film The Butler, visited Zurich last month to attend singer Tina Turner's wedding. The Oprah Winfrey Show is not shown in Switzerland.

Winfrey said she left the shop calmly without arguing, but that the experience was proof that racism continues to be a problem.

"There's two different ways to handle it," she said. "I could've had the whole blow-up thing... but it still exists, of course it does."

Her claims are a public relations disaster for Switzerland, our correspondent says.

About 48,000 people are currently seeking asylum in Switzerland. It has twice as many asylum seekers as the European average.

Officials say the curbs, which will also see asylum-seekers housed in special centres, are aimed at preventing tensions with residents.

The country's asylum laws were tightened in June.

He's not the owner of the fidelity bank of nigeria so get your facts right before you come here.

joecrack: I think we need to critically look at the criteria before judging which are the most developed state capital whilst considering issues such as infrastructures,industries et al. For those peeps calling calabar, i think you might be wrong, calabar for now does not fit to be classified amongst the top 5 developed state capital in Nigeria, maybe in the not too distant future it may,but right now the town virtually has no factories plus its still more of a civil service state with fast food and hotels adorning the streets.

MR.MAN NO CITY IN NIGERIA IS CLOSE TO DEVELOPED.

nwabekeyi: wots dis 1 saying sef, london doesn't hv a slum, new york does, still newyork is rated above london. U c?

No its not,london is the most expensive city in the world and way more livable than new york and please get your facts right right before you come here.I'M BORN AND BRED IN LONDON AND THE LAST SLUM OR GHETTO WAS DESTROYED OVER A CENTURY AGO.AND LONDON IS FIRST BEST CITY IN THE WORLD IF NOT,ITS DEFINITELY IN THE TOP 3.
