What happened the first time Buhari took power in 1983?

Tell us what happened to the economy? Naira? etc..

Yes, keep lying to yourselves with fake excuses. He is doing the same thing then as he is doing today. It is not that things aren't tough, they are. However it is his economic and monetary policies which make things drastically worse.

Keep lying to yourself when Buhari is a repeat offender. Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it like the foolish people of Nigeria with Buhari.

Poor planing by last administration when oil was selling for over 100 dollars and looting, stealing, plundering of foreign reserves got us to this point and not any policy by the present administration.

Today, our reserve is stable, we are raking in more income from no oil areas and we are holding our own unlike some oil producing countries rationing basic necessities because of low market value of oil. We are doing fine against many odds.

Today, we don't have thieves sending memos to the CBN to loot and share our foreign currencies or spending billions on spiritual prayers, for running presidential errands, stashed in wives bank accounts or inside shalanga.

Today in Nigeria, looters are actually going to end up in kirikiri...

You people need to stop insulting our intelligence with your self induced amnesia and pretense because we know what got us here..

When will some of you move on from the past? Just celebrate and move on instead of throwing jabs at others. Osun state and France signed a similar agreement last October for a 13-megawatt solar plant, nobody abused Igbos then. Y'all need to grow up.

Beats me why they beat their porous and shallow chest for doing what other people have done many times over without fanfare..

JJC, low self esteem, tribalism, bigotry and insecurity no go let them rest..

ElCule:
Mr bruce is not speaking for himself but for you who allowed your future to be hijacked by old dying thiefing elites that have been ruling since indipedence.only for them to be calling you leaders of tomorow . If you don't like him for whatever reason, look beyond the messanger and make use of the message. He is simply sayng that, the youths should be included in governance as it is obtainable in developed countries around the world. What is wrong with his proposal? I can see you prefare defending APC and attacking PDP for the rest of your life while the corupt ruling class irrespective of party affiliation continue looting the nation dry. You hate Mr Ben Bruce just because he is not singing the praises of Buhari or APC.

very much the reason why the hypocrite should exclude himself and step aside for Young Nigerians to take over from him since he was and still part of the same old corrupt elites and he himself was part of the 16 years PDP administration that wrecked Nigeria, that stole and shared our money, that kept us in darkness by stealing our $20 billion power funds.


If his really honest and cares about Nigeria, should be speaking up against the evil perpetrated by him and his party against Nigerians.


Of what relevance is the mentally warped messenger who advocated for Nigerian youths to be allowed to rule Nigeria while refusing to step aside for youths in his own state to take over from him, but instead turned around and blame the Nigerian youths for wrecking Nigeria because they support foreign soccer teams.

The man is a nuisance and a first class lying hypocrite..

clemmonce:
Would the economy have been worse as this if Gej had won ? I don't think so. Nigerians made a mistake

Exactly wetin the clueless, corrupt and incompetent stealing is not corruption go do? Reverse the price of oil from 430 to $100 when he stole, shared and squandered our money?

Shows that you don't know the reason why your economy tanked.

AyamConfidence:
well a leader must lead by example and he must have realized that for him to convince us to buy Naija he must too....i see sense in that which your bloated eyes cannot see and your baby mimd cannot comprehend

A leader who issued not so common sense that Nigerian youths should be allowed to rule Nigeria, but is yet to step down for Nigerian youths in Bayelsa to take over from to represent Bayelsa in Abuja instead of the twitter nuisance camping out on twitter and spewing nonsense 24/7.

Leading by example means putting your money where your mouth is, it means stepping aside for youths to take over from you, it means practicing what you preach, it means sending his kids to Nigerian schools instead of shipping his kids and his money to America for American education and quit blaming Nigerian youths for the mess he and his 16 years PDP gang created.

[s]

ElCule:
Typical of an APC fanatic. He said the truth and you call it meaningless rubish, your inability to counter his claim with facts make your post the meaningless rubish.

[/s]


He also said the truth when he said the Nigerian youths should be allowed to run Nigeria instead of old and tired people like him, but the useless hypocrite is yet to step aside for Bayelsa youths to take over and go to abuja to represent Bayelsa instead of the twitter nuisance camped out on twitter.


The he turned around the next day to blame the same Nigerian youths for wrecking Nigeria because they support foreign soccer clubs instead of Nigerian clubs. Why blame the same Nigerian youths he just said we should allow to rule the country for wrecking Nigeria when in fact it was him and his looting and stealing PDP responsible.

Also where is the common sense asking Nigerians to buy Nigerian when he's yet to ban foreign films in his cinemas, he's yet to stop shiping his own children and money to America to get educated in American schools instead of OAU, UNN, UI and so on?

The fact that you gullible and meager thinking disciples are falling for the con man doesn't mean the rest of us should for for his cheap and crude theatrics..

optionB:
Former Oil minister, Diezani Madueke who is currently undergoing successful treatment for cancer in the United Kingdom has stated that Nigeria has a well recorded history of vilifying its oil ministers.
President Muhammad Buhari as an oil minister (1976-1978) under then head of state, General Olusegun Obasanjo was accused of N2.8 billion fraud when same amount disappeared from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corpration’s (NNPC) Midlands Bank account in the UK.She added, “Till this day no one has been able to prove that the then Major General stole a kobo.”She also named other former ministers who have been vilified to include Prof. Tam David West.
Madueke declared that the allegations of corruption against her are false, insisting that as a technocrat with sufficient experience at Shell, she was used to keeping proper accounts.

[/s]

The tribunal found out that in three years, NNOC had failed to collect its equity share of oil produced by Shell, Mobil and Gulf. As a joint venture partner, NNOC was entitled to 182.95 million barrels of oil production. But NNOC did not find buyers for its own share, thereby losing a potential income of $2.8 billion. But it was instead reported by the media that $2.8 billion was missing.

I know that crooked and corrupt woman did not utter that rubbish, it came from the same evil, disgruntled and anti Nigerian elements.

They need to first get educated and get up to date before spreading ignorant trash on the internet..

Thank God PMB finnaly got rid of the looting, sharing and budget padding deadweight...

God Bless Nigeria.

It's still a win-win situation for No the the Chinese and the job opportunity in Nigeria, but shouldn't be made what it's not. Chinese car assembled in Nigeria is still the same as the Nissan being assembled in Nigeria among others. No one should try to pull wool over Nigerian eyes.

The twitter nuisance is a con man with gullible and ignorant disciples..

Zuula:
Not ma fault that you failed to comprehend dats why it's meaningless to u..

Stop bothering me with your meaningless trash...

BushidoBlue:
You mentioned NTA

Hahahahahahaha

Maybe you don't know but your heroes now in APC fought him out of NTA because he brought in reform ad drought corruption there...

Little wonder immediately he left NTA returned to its factory preset mood of rubbish.

I'm sure you were in JS11 then.

The only reforms was turning NTA into NTA/PDPstation.

NTA was nothing but a worthless political errand station under PDP exactly what reforms is this one wailing about?

DesChyko:
I think your sentiments are clouding your judgements. You're asking a person who left NTA DG many years back how many Innoson vehicles he bought for NTA, the same Innoson vehicle that was commissioned under President Jonathan's administration?

I'm not saying you're wrong though, but can you give a corroborative evidence that indeed Silverbird was brought up with illegally gotten wealth via NTA? Just one. And then, y'all say he ran NTA aground. I'm trying to remember what NTA was like before 1999 when he took over.

Was he not even the DG of FRCN under the same Jona you are talking about? Innoson didn't exist when he was the DG under Jona?

kingofabia:
This goes to show that u dont even read before posting trash.. When ben bruce was DG for NTA, was there any INNOSON motors.... ask urself that

Very ignorant post. What about as the DG of FRCN under Jona? Innoson didn't exist?


Abeg move..

imhotep:
^ Are you frustrated?

Look in the mirror for answer..

Ahmeduana:
YOU'VE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ECONOMIC REALITY THAT DICTATES THE RESENT HAPPENINGS, WHEN THE MUSIC CHANGES SO MUST THE DANCING STEPS, IF YOUR INCOMES CANNOT SUSTAIN YOU ON FAST LANE LIFE, YOU CHANGE TO SLOW STEADY LANE. That is exactly what senator COMMONSENSE is driving at, though am not expecting everybody to grab.

How exactly did we get to this point after 5 years of looting our reserves, stealing and sharing when oil was over $100 per barrel? Are we still not in darkness even after they looted $20 billion power money? Are our youths still not unemployed? Ae our roads still not in shambles? Are our hospitals still nothing to write home about? Are our schools better than before 16 years of worthless PDP?

Where is the common sense in seeing and hearing no evil for 16 worthless years you participated in and destroyed, but all of a sudden seeing after 16 years of blindness?

How come all his nonsensical common sense never was about the dirt, looting, stealing and sharing our wealth by his own PDP? Or he's cleaned the slate or just still blind to the damage he and his party did or just not Nigerian enough to be concerned or even speak up against the evil deed he and his party perpetrated against Nigerians?

When was the last time he spoke up against the unemployed Nigerians his PDP scammed and killed with still no accountability and justice for the dead young Nigerians all while he sent his own son to the US, to live in his mansion in California and get the best education in America..?

What's he got to say about the daily revelation regarding our stolen and shared funds buried inside shalanga, used for spiritual prayers and all kinds of shameful absurdities?

He can create all the idiotic and deceptive distractions to fool people like you, but he's not fooling the rest of Nigeria..


The reality today are the consequences of the evil acts perpetrated by this thoughtless con man and his party for 16 years and not the senseless, thoughtless and meaningless rubbish he spews while camping out on social media 24/7.

[s]

Zuula:
Stupidity is when half of those PDP politicians that Looted the country for 16years are still at the helm of affairs under the Guise of a new party called APC and u haven't even noticed

[/s]


Meaningless rubbish, come up with something more intelligent and legible..

Dedetwo:
You and forbearers are epitomized enemies of “SE people” and I urge you to spare us the crap about your idiotic insinuation of perceived enemies.

See guilty conscience...

imhotep:
Nigeria became the BIGGEST economy in Africa under PDP.

Now dull@rdhino cannot prepare a simple financial budget.
He is busy blaming others.

Yes, bogus economy of looting, stealing and sharing, economy of borrowing to pay salaries, economy of unemployed youths getting scammed and killed over jobs that was never available and no accountability for the killers, economy that still kept Nigerians in darkness after 16 years of PDP looting of $20 billion power money and so on and on...


Please keep that rubbish to your kind...

DesChyko:
But it has gone down in the annals of history that he did patronize the Nigerian market inspite of his wealth, that he is practising what he preaches. How many out of the 469 National Thieves are doing the same'

Exactly how many Innosson he bought for the NTAwhen he was the director of the NTA? I mean the same NTA he wrecked while his own silverbird grew and opened cinemas and malls all over the place..

Many people and states have bought innoson cars so no biggie here, the twitter senator is all about crude, crass and odious noise and propaganda.

Aufbauh:
The guy @benmurraybruce has a targeted audience prominently people from the SE/SS and particularly the SE.
He simply want to inherit GEJ support base but his obvious hypocrisy will soon give him out.
Have you not wonder his sudden publicity tour & patronage to aba trade fair, innoson group etc that has been in operation for years all in the guise of making us to believe that he's a home product man.

Innoson was invisible to the PDP and the twitter nuisance for 16 years and even with all their looting and stealing, how many of them privately or officially bought one innoson car..?


About SE people, they are ok with the devil as long as the devil is against their perceived enemies..

6 months is long enough, but what about the unproductive looting and stealing 16 PDP years the hypocrite twitter nuisance participated in?

Idiocy and dumb talk must be what unintelligent people call common sense these days..

blazetitov:
Can you leave your office in the evening to go watch a Nigerian Movie for N1500 or N2000? I believe if there is demand for our own products, Silverbird will have no option but to show our own movies. We need to change our consumption culture/habit.

There can not be demand and you can not create demand until you eradicate foreign and imported alternative. Nigerians won't stop going to the cinema because they stopped showing American movies so why not stop showing imported movies to help the local movie industry just like the FG banned many imported products and items to help our local manufacturers.

Necessity is the mother of invention like they say.

Have he stopped shipping his money and children to America to get foreign education instead of OAU, UNN, UI and others in Nigeria?

Have the brainless twitter constituency hypocrite senator started any soccer team that Nigerian youths refused to patronize?

The man is nothing but a con man and bloody hypocrite who's always trying to have it both ways

And is this thoughtless twitter senator telling us that only young Nigerians supports foreign soccer clubs? Talk about ignorant generalization..

1. Yesterday, you want Nigerian youths to participate and rule Nigeria.

2. Today, you are mocking the same Nigerian youths and blaming them for wrecking Nigeria even though they did not loot Nigeria or participated in formulating laws or policies like you and your looting and stealing PDP did for 16 years.


See mental confusion and common sense getting turned upside down by the not seo sensible twitter constituency brain-fart....

mazizitonene:
i ask again......... are we looking at the messenger or the message ?

christians say that God can use anybody even a hardened criminal to speak to man..............in african society, the gods have been said to use even mad men to speak to sane men and communities................. concentrate more on the message and not the messenger, two wrongs can't make right.

The messenger is a Nigerian and he can lead by example. Leaders put their money where their mouth is, not where the same place they are criticizing and doesn't want us to put our own money in.


How do you as a responsible and credible leader voiced today that Nigerian youths should be allowed to run the country, but tomorrow blame the same Nigerian youths for wrecking the country. Where is the sense and wisdom in his thoughtless, confused, and hypocritical message.

The messanger should have kept his money here to better Nigerian schools instead of shipping his son and his money to America for American bought education for his son while the same Nigerian youths his lambasting suffer the brunt of this man and his PDP's rot and decay.

Where was his common sense during PDP's 16 year rule? He was inside some cave in Afghanistan or participated and even has the DG of NTA for 8 long years where he wrecked the NTA while his own Silverbird grew and thrived with cinemas and malls all over the place.


The fact that some people are gullible enough and predisposed to his foolish and meaningless rants doesn't mean others are.

mazizitonene:
oga be sincere, as a businessman you sell what the people WANT (demand and supply, simple economics) the market is controlled by the consumers!!.......he cant be showing only nigerian movies when most nigerians wont watch it and he wont make profit, he is in business to make profit not loss! if he were showing only nigerian movies he wouldn't have been as popular as he is now. besides he does not have monopoly over that market, there are other cinemas around. you and i know that if he decides to only show nigerian movies, most nigerians wont patronize him!! #fact.............he will lose customers, they will rather not go to the cinemas or patronize other cinemas showing those movies......he will be making losses....its not feasible as a businessman.....how can u decide market for the end-users (consumers)...is just like you go to the market to buy salt and the woman gives you sugar, will you collect it ? ontop your own money? and u know what u want ? wont u rather check the next woman selling ? and if u dont see u leave ?.......my brother think!!.......he just wants to make common sense which he did........#forgetthemessengergrabthemsg

Sadly for the thoughtless man, he's speaking today and every inconsistent and hypocritical rubbish he spews on twitter as a public official and not as a business man and the government policies he ignorantly criticizes everyday are official government policies and National issues, not business issues.

The fact that he also paid for and sent his own children to America to obtain the best education money can buy instead of Nigerian schools was done because he's business man?

Makes no sense...

maddock:
It's Nigeria youth 2: Ben Bruce 0.

How many times has he watched bayelsa united.
He should stop showing Hollywood movies in his cinemas and show only Nigerian movies.

At times he talks commonsense like stoping the patronage of foreign product with very good substitute like rice,corn flakes, innoson cars etc but most times he tweets are plain mischievous.

The same man who ignored Nigerian schools/universities and instead sent his own children to school in California,USA and kept them in his mansion in the same California, USA..

So, Nigerian youths by supporting common football clubs are responsible for our bastardized country by the senseless, no common sense ode and opportunistic, lazy and incompetent twitter who benefited all his life from the same crooked, bankrupt and corrupt system.

Nigerian youths supporting common football clubs are responsible for the 16 years of wholesale looting and stealing the useless twitter clown and his corrupt PDP looting gang wrecked Nigeria with.

Nigerian youths are responsible for wrecking our once glorious sports clubs, crumbling sporting facilities across the country..


Jobless Nigerian youths supporting common football clubs are responsible for for their own deaths when they were scammed and killed by this twitter nuisance, Jona and his PDP clown, they were even responsible for zero justice on their behalf and their money returned to their grieving families..


This after this twitter based clown ranted and fought little children over common biscuit, now is war against Nigerian youths over the sorry and destructive situation he and his PDP looters and 16 years of looting orgy created..

^^^^^^^^^^^

His own silver spoon youth and son who received the best education money can by in California, USA (Instead of Nigerian schools/Universities) all paid for by this thoughtless and mean spirited twitter nuisance and disgrace is obviously not one of the youths responsible for the down fall of Nigeria



Yesterday it was PMB not appointing Nigerian youths as top government officials even thought the 60 year old granpa and hypocrite refused to step down for Youths in Bayelsa to represent Bayelsa in Abuja instead of this useless clown who is wasting their mandate spewing unintelligent and incoherent rubbish on twitter, today he's attributing to and blaming the same youths and young Nigerians the rot and decay he participated in for 16 years...


The question for the dumb, senseless, thoughtless and corrupt twitter constituency hypocrite and mentally inconsistency clown is, how do you in one breath want Nigerian youths to be made ministers and top government officials to rule and represent Nigerians while at the same time relegate and discount them as bad people who are responsible for wrecking Nigeria, the same Nigeria you helped wrecked.?

Yesterday, Nigerians youths should be allowed to rule Nigeria and PMB was wrong for not appointing Nigerian youths, but according to the same senseless twitter clown, Nigerian youths are bad and are the reason why Nigeria is a mess today..

Where is the sense in this zero common sense inconsistency low intellect clowns..?


How foolish, senseless and idiotic can this clown be...

Who lied to you? smh..

Dangote Group Launches 20,000-Hectare Rice Production Scheme

[b]The Dangote Group, yesterday launched 20,000 hectare rice production scheme, aimed at making the country self-sufficient in rice production and food secure by the year 2018.

Speaking at the flagging-off of the scheme at Hago Fadama kafin-Hausa local government area of the state, the state governor Alhaji Badaru Abubakar Badaru said, the project was part of his government’s commitment to improve agriculture and industrialise the state for job creation and poverty eradication.

“Right from my inaugural speech, I made it clear that, agriculture was one of my government cardinal points and we are ready to collaborate with private investors in achieving the desire goals. The project we are launching today is one of the numerous projects we intend to embark in collaboration with private investors from within and outside the country, and we have already signed memorandum with many of them,” the governor said.

The governor assured Dangote Group of the state government’s support in making any policy and intervention that will make the investment profitable and generate jobs to the teeming population of the state.

Speaking at the occasion, the minister of state for agriculture Mr Heineken Lokpobiri said the federal government was worried over the production gap it has in rice and the millions of dollars spent annually on its importation despite having vast arable land that can make Nigerians rice exporters if properly utilized.

He disclosed that presently the country needs 6.8 million metric tons of rice annually for consumption, but that “we are locally producing only 2.6 million metric tons. In view of this, the federal government has come up with plan to encourage massive investment in rice production and agricultural sector in general to end rice importation by the year 2018,” he said.

In his remarks, the president, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, said his company targeted 120,000 hectares for rice production across the country by the year 2020.

He said the Jigawa rice scheme targets 20,000 hectares in which the out growers will produce 8,000 hectares while the company will cultivate 12,000 hectares.

According to him, the project will provide direct job opportunities to over 10,000 youths in addition to food security and internally generated income to the state government.

He expressed appreciation to the Hadejia Emirate Traditional Rulers, the Jigawa State government and federal government for the support given to the company, and also called for more policy and incentives that would create more enabling environment and encourage private sector investment in to the sector.[/b]

This is the kind of game changing and genuine news was need, not some lying and bogus village ugu lying rubbish...

PayPalKing:
Sen. Ben Bruce is right. Some people are uncomfortable because he tweets ugly truth which as expected not everyone will agree with.

Truth emanates only if you are not an hypocrite and you lead by example. The twitter constituency nuisance is a false and lying prophet who failed to step aside for young folks in bayelsa to contest instead of tired and old opportunists like him spreading false and hypocritical rubbish on the internet..

Truth is this old granpa stepping aside for young folks in his constituency to take over from him especially since he can not do his job because instead of the senate floor, he spends his people's time on twitter letting everybody know when he shits and piss...
