What do dey need 1b$ for at dis time. If not for corrupt purposes. This govt is even more corrupt amd so clueless.

Buhari shud just resign. His VP wud make a better president. He is too old to rule nigeria.
Imagine i bought fuel yesterday for 350 per litter.
Then u wake up nd speak without thought.

I have a friend in d petroleum ministry who says. The fuel crisis is out of bribery and corruption done in d ministry by independent marketers.they want to make money. Dts why dere ia shortage. Its all a plan.
Imagine such

The fuel crisis, is just plain incompetence on Baru's part. Kachikwu prempted all d cabal's machinations.


Pmb himself said, he isnt doing anything. Just there to allow, those who can. Using his political power n acclaimed integrity to back up actions or inactions of his govt.

Or who do u think can jail Dasuki for so long, without loosing his support base?

Heavy traffic hold them for Apapa


Incompetent Baru! With all his boasts in nov, if to say nigerians get shame, na to resign!

What agriculture policy is not working.

Dont mind d konkobility! Fp n likes don block their sense.

erico2k2:
You should see all the wrong here . Case btw GTB and a private person what has efcc got to do with it ? If the Banks are not being mischievous . Since when did the EFCC become beliefs ? Was there fraud recorded ? Even if he did owe GTB are there not court and beliefs to enforce recovery ?
GTB owes the man they soul go and pay up instead of harrasing him with EFCC

Where in efcc's statement did dey mention gtb?

If gtb whistleblew him to get at him, how should that be our problem? He should negotiate favourable terms of restitution, he's too big to fail n should get one of those power broker lawyers.

Notify me when you retire healthy the way you started then I ll doff my hat for you

U need to come to abj to see them, with their houses n biz. Na only husband dem wan buy now

erico2k2:
Did you read the bit where he said he never had any invitations after the 1st one ?

And, did u read where I said, I dont/cant believe him over efcc?



If truly, he wasnt invited, he should sue their asses! Someone just received a judgement against them for roughly d same offence.



Inspite of all his drama, he still ended up in their custody n drew some unpopular publicity.


Hopefully, his innocence will be laid bare.

stickaman04:
do u read at all, he was neva invited. he did nt refuse to attend an invitation. he was ambushed in his home n taking like a criminal with no order from any court or watsoeva.

U dont believe d efcc's version? He should sue them, afterall, if he can win against gtb, he should be able to win against efcc!



Why I believe d efcc above him;

why would he barricade his entrance?


can u imagine how long it took to bring in his workers to come n protest against his arrest?


pple with worse crimes av been invited by d efcc n dey still got bail. Some werent even charged to court, till date!


If he truly has nothing to hide, he should've gone there, ans their foolish questions n get bail on self recognisance! If they deny him, den he creates all these drama!

erico2k2:
Read the story again plzzzzzz

He was invited. He should appear n sort d stuff out! Whats to gain with all d drama!



Seriously, with d kind of lawyers he can afford n d embarrassment it would create for ds govt, to accuse n indict him wrongly, he should man up!



Even pple known to be guilty, have gone into d efcc den n came out unscathed! Let him stop, trying to heat up d polity, unnecessarily. Unless he's guilty.

kingdenny:
Th very fact u mention innoson and Evans plus Mmm in one sentence shows how much an hypocrite you are. Surely common sense is not common. The circumstances surrounding these politicians and innoson are quite different. Think and reason with your brain...

Yeah! Very uncommon commonsense! U lack comprehension too. So, i'll just pass. Not in d mood to troll or suffer fools!



Read his post n my reply, think n analyse, den gv urself, a little brain.

sarrki:
I stand on my statement

Innoson is better than most of the politicians we have around

He created jobs

We are at the stage of creating artificial billionaires

We should thread softly not to discourage other investors

Though, not to disparage d person of Innoson, going by ur logic, mmm created jobs, Evans created jobs too!


I really dont understand d drama. Efcc has been inviting everyone, n d only person still in detention, is Dasuki.

David Mark recently honoured it, n we didnt get ds much drama, talkmore of someone not involved in partisan politics.


If he has nothing to hide, why all d hoopla?

modernWays:
You should get the fact that she is a mother and role model to some.

Since when do modern humans begin to care abt being a role model?

modernWays:
Now i can comfirm some women are not born with human's brain but fish.

Standing naked in front of doctor because of what exactly?

U label urself modernways, yet cant deal with a nakid lady!

Yeligray:
So they went to pray on their own without a guardian?

Unfotunately, they've probably been doing that since birth!



My heart just dey shake with all d wicked possibilities that could av caused their disappearance! The pain being experienced by that fam. Chai, daris God oooo

naptu2:
Exactly! The groundnut pyramids were the invention of Alhassan Dantata (Aliko Dangote's great grandfather).

He had a system in which he controlled most of the groundnut buyers (agents) and farmers in the north. They brought their groundnuts to designated centers were they were stacked into pyramids by Dantata's workers. Dantata was also a director in the railway corporation and long trains picked up the groundnuts from Dantata's facility in Kano and brought them down south to be exported. The trains returned to the north with kolanuts that Dantata had bought.

There was a time that he pointed to 60 groundnut pyramids in Kano and told a journalist, "These are all mine".

Dantata usually stored his groundnuts that were meant for domestic consumption until they were out of season, then he flooded the market with them and sold them at a cheaper price than his competitors.

The groundnut pyramids gradually disappeared after Alhassan Dantata's death. Aminu and Sanusi Dantata initially continued the business, but they eventually delved into other things, eg Mentolathum and Mercedes Benz.

Other (younger) members of the family invested in construction (Dantata and Sawoe), transport (Dantata Transport Services), telecommunications (Starcomms), cement (Dangote Cement), oil and gas (MRS), etc.

So you can see that they gradually invested more in other sectors than they did in the groundnut business

One of d reasons I like nl, u can actually learn something new. Vast meeting of minds, if u can actually have a meaning conversation n do away with all d bigotry n inter-tribal jousts!


To think, they divested from groundnuts! A shame really n a more progressive govt wouldnt have allowed it to tapper off. With d cost of groundnut oil n feeds in present day naija

sarrki:
I don't like this

FG should steps in

The workers and other local investors will be discouraged

Having said that I am not in support of not paying back loans

FG is doing d arrest! He was invited to come defend himself in court, he refused! Abi Dauda(SAN) don die ni?



The court placed him on contempt, n thereby called for his arrest! E be like say, dead body wey him think say him bury, d leg don show

Try to use controversy to generate traffic!

Goodluck

In advanced climes Child Protective services will take custody of this child.

Her parents are a disgrace to parenthood.
They are no different from parents who smuggle their kids to Italy to go prostitute,
They are no different from parents who give their kids enamel plates and push them into traffic to solicit for alms,
They are no different from parents who teach their kids how to pick pockets at crusades.

This is unjustifiable,
There is no dignity in begging.
Not a single justification for such show of shame.

Her useless dad that wants to get Otedola and Linda's attention is probably somewhere playing Baba Ijebu and Lotto, or in one hostel in LASU sucking the brezz of his underaged girlfriend.

Leaving his daughter vulnerable to the preys that abound in the perversed city of Lagos.

Unfortunately, I agree with u, on this! The poor girl, even looks embarrassed as f*ck!

Welcomme:
5000 naira? What can 5k do in a man's life? A northern man with 75 kids and 4 wives ...Big joke!

Now, add that 5k to whatever he already uses to sustain them?!

Factfinder1:
First one was in 2015 second one 2017 only God knows when the 3rd one will come .........and why can't Nigerian government register and have a database of every citizens and pay such monies directly to their bank accounts instead of all this snail processes

As a factfinder, u need to gather more facts, before blurting out ignorant statements!



Its a mnthly affair n paid by cash. They're supposed to be d destitute in d society, how are dey supposed to av access to bank accts n all sorts? Though, there'll be room for corruption, some will still benefit.

Annnonymous:
If i may ask, what is the indices for selecting the less privileged?

Since, we're yet to hear of any witnesses online, we can be sure they're truly less priviledged



Thats if, some folks aint enriching their lineage

AreaFada2:
Well we cannot blame any one person for disappearance of groundnut pyramids. Same as cocoa.

Many educated people in Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo and other places, their parents sponsored them to study abroad with cocoa money. We cannot expect UK trained lawyers, medics, economists and others to return and take over the cocoa farms. At least we Africans do not do things that way.

Failure to mechanise farming was the main cause. As a kid I saw vast rice fields and massive cocoa plantations. These plantations died out. Cocoa plants reach peak yield around 10 to 20 years depending on species. Ibadan became the envy of Africa through cocoa money. As more kids went to school and polygamy reduced, rural labour force reduced or became expensive.
All those coups that never allowed one long term plan or vision to materialise did not help.

Gowon came with plan to move FCT to Abuja/Suleja, though he initially wanted Jos to be new FCT. But he feared he would be accused of favouring his place (Jos). The mild weather of Jos actually made it a better option. He also had plans for Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos. He worked on sea port that benefited Lagos. He began NYSC to foster national unity & introduced the Naira in place of Pounds. His no victor no vanquished stance after Biafra war was a moderate and re-conciliatory one.

But people remember the negative stuff more: cement ships/contract scandal, taking over missionary schools, indigenization decree that harmed foreign investment in non-oil sector, Udoji award that caused inflation, indefinite postponement of return to democracy instead of planned 1976, etc.

Whatever his failure, we have had 42 years since to get it right but have failed too.

Those intermittent coups, never gave us a chance.

adedayoa2:
ojukwu wanted to separate Nigeria, Gowon say Nigeria must be one.

Practically, all of d available leaders then, would have refused an independent biafra!

AreaFada2:
Remember that much of his time was taken up by political crisis and civil war. Then rebuilding after 1970. Coming out of brutal civil war is not easy for any country.

For me his actual failure was being able to avoid the war as the head of state. Had he prepared better for Aburi conference he would have negotiated an agreement with Dim Ojukwu that both sides would have been happy with.

I guess he was not educated or experienced enough being so young when he became leader at 32. Gen. Femi Ogundipe, 10 years senior and senior in military hierarchy to Gowon might have handled the Biafra crisis better.

Oil price only actually went up in 1972/3 during Arab-Israeli war and if you ask your older family members they will remember the "Udoji" boom of that era.
Well maybe Udoji award money could have been better used to invest in the future. But coming from the war just recently, I guess they wanted to splash out a bit. And civil servants enjoyed it. Many buying a car for the first time.

Murtala Mohammed dismantled the decent civil service Gowon left behind. The civil service has never recovered from it till now.

Tanx. Seems I'm learning a lot abt his era. Cant seem to find writings on his achievements, or lack of


Pls, can u confirm, if it was during his era, d groundnut pyramids dissappeared? Heard it was caused by d oil boom?! If truly he knew anything abt it, then, he failed woefully

Which progress? I reject every buhari kind of progress.

Ur loss!

SalamRushdie:
What low fund exactly ? Buhari has out spent 6 years of Jonathan in just two years and achieved nothing ...To say Buharis govt is under funded is a mischievious lie ..Buharis govt is not under funded but under governed .

Htf is that? Nigerian govts since eternity, have all relied on crude oil funds. At less than $60/barrel, for over two years, yet paying salaries, continuing abandoned projects, assisting states to clear backlog of salaries he met, employing over 300k into npower, and still saving over $5b! All under 3yrs in govt?!


Get a life n stop ur blind hatred!

@xtfield, tanx.

I think his being toppled from govt cost him goodwill n his rightful place in history(as a progressive).
