The man is less than two years in office and has shown remarkable zeal for quality and top shelf development.... I believe he won't change... He is coming with a rich global experience... His house in his village demonstrates his taste

SpaceTour:
Go back to Osun so you partake in the share of the rice the mission brought to your state due to non payment of salaries for over 1yr in your state. We are not discussing stomach infrastructure here.

Even Lagos does not have an answer to this.. It will take ogbeni 200 years to build something like this with his 55 million allocation

gbaskiipro:
This is what I am.... A wailer.... Dasuki is still writing reports at the time of filling the news ba? So you quickly copied the one he wrote and posted ba.. Ok OP, the thunder that will fire u, is still doing press up

eaglechild:
This type of blind support gets us nowhere.

I didn't write the article.
The writer is not even Nigerian, he simply stated the facts.

Anyone who says the blind truth automatically becomes vengeful.
Our stock market has crashed with businesses losing billions of dollars and you are posting about Kerrygold.

Buhari just like his supporters seem to be too scared to face the truth.

compujyde:
Of course and I guess he's not alone.

I[b] think most Igbos really want their own country (Biafra) because they feel marginalized in so many ways.[/b]

l just pray they are thoroughly ready (holistically) for this freedom they seem to want at all cost so that they don't end up regretting it when eventually granted.

Bloodshed should just be avoided for God's sake.

Ornua, formerly the Irish Dairy Board, has opened a new Kerrygold packing factory in Nigeria.

The investment is the latest in a series of major global investments by Ornua as it seeks to expand routes to market for Irish dairy produce.

Irish powdered milk will be exported to Nigeria, Africa's largest economy, and packaged at the facility.

It will be marketed under the Kerrygold brand.

Kerrygold powders are sold in small sachets, pouches or tins, primarily through small distributors.

Ornua opened its African headquarters in Port Elizabeth in South Africa in 2013 and currently employs 250 people.

Nigeria is one of the top three importers of powdered milk products in Africa and the largest importer of full-fat milk powder.

The new factory is a joint venture between Ornua and distribution and packing partners, Fareast Mercantile Company Limited (FMCL).

Recent major investments include the development of new and expanded production and innovation facilities in North America, Germany, Spain, the UK, Saudi Arabia, as well as here in Ireland.

Welcoming the opening of the facility Ornua CEO Kevin Lane described the latest facility as "another important step in our growth plans for Africa".

The facility was opened in Lagos by Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Simon Coveney, who is currently leading a trade mission to Nigeria.

Venture Capital Firm 500Startups Seeks First Nigeria Tech Deals


500Startups, a Silicon Valley venture-capital firm with more than $175 million under management, is seeking its first investments in Nigerian technology companies as Africa’s most-populous nation encourages industries that will reduce its reliance on oil.

The firm “would like to invest in at least one to two Nigerian tech companies in the next year,’’ Andrea Barrica, venture partner at Mountain View, California-based 500Startups, said Wednesday in an e-mailed response to questions. Nigeria’s “big population and increasing access to technology and payments’’ make it an attractive market, she said.

The U.S. investor is looking to add Nigerian assets to 10 investments on the continent in markets including Egypt, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa. It’s the latest venture-capital firm to show interest in the country, with Boulder, Colorado-based TechStars saying last week it’s seeking opportunities in the Nigerian information and communication technology industries.
Barrica, who in September met business owners in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial capital, said 500Startups is targeting companies engaged in “technologies, software, online marketplaces and e-commerce.” The firm plans a $200 million fund to invest in such opportunities around the world.

Africa’s largest oil producer introduced an information and communication policy in 2012 to boost investments in these industries and counter a reliance on income from crude, which accounts for two-thirds of state revenue and more than 90 percent of export earnings. The government wants to increase broadband penetration fivefold from 4 percent of the population, according to the National Broadband Plan for 2013-2018.

Don't hide under the acronym PDP.



The only difference between PDP and APC is that APC is full of fake promises, lies, propaganda, witch-hunting, political assassination and above all gross hypocrisy.



Only the gullible ones will believe that APC members were not part of the 16 years 'ruin' you chant about.




Atiku is the founding father of PDP.
Today he's in APC chanting fake change after ruling under PDP for 8 years. 8/16.




Obasanjo is also a former change chanter (you will understand why I said former after reading his open letter to Buhari hahahahaha) .


Don't forget he also ruled under PDP for 8 years. 8/16.




Amechi, Fashola, Tinubu are also 8/16 within the 16 years 'ruin'.











Most APC members decamped to APC because they couldn't pick the PDP nomination tickets in their primary elections.




APC = 90% aggrieved PDP.




Therefore APC paid e-warrior,





deceive us no more.




We know what's up.

vladimiros:
this is a state project not federal, Akwa Ibom would have a stake here..

amtaken:
Amechi is not a thief because he said he doesn't like money.


Fashola is not a thief because he said he didn't design website.



Oshimole is not a thief because he said so.



Atiku, the founding father of PDP, is not a thief because he's no longer in PDP.


IBB is not a thief because he no longer associates with PDP.


Obasanjo is no longer a thief because he tore his PDP membership card.



Audu Ogbeh, the former Chairman of PDP is not a thief ooo, because he decamped to APC.


Theophilus Danjuma didn't steal oil well anymore because he's now with the APC.

Buhari is not a PTF thief because he has never been with PDP.


Abacha was not corrupt, afterall there was no PDP when he was alive.

All APC members have been cleansed with hysop and ariel.









Only PDP members are thieves.


Only PDP members ooooooo.

Being educated does not make you informed, but being informed, makes you educated. Just like passing six in not passing sense.

Sometimes you will not understand why the law made provision for fair hearing, in as much as we have dubious lawyers that will quote the laws upside-down to suit their course. But we do not have a choice than to allow the law take its course and not pre-empt.

I think the law allows for invitation, interrogate and get the facts, and then charge to court. And not arrest, intimidate, issue indicting statements and then charge to court with the intention to flaunt court orders.

Nobody is standing in for anybody, but the leaders should respect the rule of law and also human rights as provided. Dasuki was granted bail by the same judiciary the president appointed and intend fighting corruption with, and what happened? He gave a counter orders. As far as we know, an accused person remains innocent until found guilty by a competent court. If not for fair hearing and or facts on ground, Nigerians had started crucifying Okonjo-Iweala for what Elrufai wrote. But what happened, FG coming out to refute what Elrufai said after Okonjo's letter because they know the consequences.

It is sweet when order peoples rights are being infringed on, but when you experience it you will understand how it feels.

What is good for the goose should also be good for the gander. Amaechi, Fashola and co are still having several petitions suppressed at the anti graft agencies. Instead of inviting them at least for inquiry, they were rather rewarded with juicy positions for a job well-done during election.

Silva's case has been thrown out. Audu's case died with him with some billions of looted funds previously guaranteed by Oyegun with governorship ticket for payment gradually fizzling away.

SERAP is seriously urging Buhari to prob how the returned Abacha loots were spent. A man Buhari and IBB never accepted looted any money. And my prayer is that Buhari will sheepishly take that step and get himself shot.

We had hoped that Buhari and APC meant change, but now we see that it was just to pave his way to power. All the things we complained under PDP are the things still happening now with rewards to the perpetrators. And my worries is that 2019 is too far for a change, maybe revolution will make it quicker.

chukwudi44:
We already know it is grade 1 political witchhunt.I wonder what Business Dasuki who was not a government official has to do with the importation of arms.

chukwudi44:
Was Buhari not among those who messed up Nigeria in the last 55 years? Did GEJ meet a perfect Nigeria yet you hypocrites were crucifying him!! Buhari would be stoned on the streets of Nigeria within the next year with the way things are going.

Joarams:
If you truly understood why you voted and campaigned, then you'll be a little more patient.

If you've been in charge of a near bankrupt company or even a healthy one for that matter, you'll understand how difficult it is to immediately turn around and start producing results with new policies.

Truth is...the expectations of Nigerians from Buhari are unrealistic. They're near impossible!

We told people that the fuel queues will return...the problem is fundamental and cannot be wished away no matter Buhari's good intentions. Nigeria must evolve by process not by miracle. Development is a process of building not a new toy you can just purchase from the market and suddenly upgrade status among friends.

God bless Nigeria.

geccibede:
