So in effect, you support depleting our reserve just to defend the naira, yet, you will go on another thread shouting how our external reserve has be depleted by the "clueless" one?

By the way, the fall of Russian ruble to dollars is also as a result of missing billions and billions?

May be the Russians Venezuelans, Angolans and even the Japanese are missing billions.

Because their currencies are all lower against the dollar.

Datolee, your minced meat is ready. Obiagelli, you be suya lol

They cannot help themselves.

tuborme:
For the first time, we are celebrating christmas without the price of food items rising. This is happening while the exchange rate is going up. It goes a long way to proove that this administration has done a lot in making us food sufficient. In the past, the price of rice could have shot into the air, but with improved local production, supply is outwiting the demand. Economic indices are calculated based on the living standards of the populace. The present government understands the role of SMEs in growing the economy. Giving opportunity and level playing ground for all to survive is what makes the difference between the USA and nigeria. He is seriously destroying oligarchy and promoting capitalism which promotes hard work. Gone are the days when people sit at home after school waiting for government employment. Today's nigeria requires you to use your academic skills to employ others. This is what drives both the chinese and the american economy.

Corruption is not fought on tv screens as Obasanjo did, corruption and theft are better fought by strengthening institutions and providing internal frameworks for checks and balances to take place continually. This will make fighting corruption a continual affair not minding the government or party in power. The use of biometrics in civil service is a typical example of using institutions to fight theft and corruption. Our long stay with the military has made us loose touch with due process ways of doing things. You do not expect the judge to throw somebody into prison without evidence of committing any crime. I will continue this write-up another day.

Nothing do you., thanks.

This should be on front page.

Someone should have slapped that bello of man for his 7 years of waste.

By Emmanuel Ajibulu
Agriculture Minister, Dr Akinwumi Adesina, has risen in defence of the achievements of his ministry, saying they are unassailable.
Adesina spoke against the backdrop of the criticism by a former minister in the ministry, Mallam Adamu Bello, who described the achievements as non-existent.
Renown economist and public affairs analyst, Prof. Pat Utomi, among others, echoed the minister’s sentiment.
Bello had challenged Akinwumi’s claim to achievements in the agriculture sector.
An aide to the minister, Olukayode Oyeleye, who responded on behalf of his principal, wanted the former minister to show what positive reforms his seven-year tenure brought to the agriculture sector.
“It will help greatly for Adamu Bello to point to the number of investments generated in seven years, whereas, within two years, under Adesina, Nigeria has attracted US$4 billion in private sector investments in the agricultural sector,” he said.
He continued: “Adamu Bello never told Nigerians the truth about his actual performance in office. Let him give details commodity-by-commodity, and let him state where and how this impact was felt. In 2004, under Adamu Bello, there was something interesting about growth rates in agricultural sector. His ‘perfect’ growth rate of 6.50% for crop production, 6.50% for fisheries, 6.50 % for livestock and 6.50% for forestry should raise eyebrows as this smacks of some form of cosmetic and fuddled growth statistics, an indication of some tinkering somewhere. Earlier in the year, Adamu compared his seven years in office with Adesina’s first agriculture year in 2012, relying on National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) alone. In doing so, he was one-sided in his analysis, seeking to confuse Nigerians with manipulative figures”.
To Utomi, the claim by Bello is unfortunate and laughable. The foremost economist argued that under the current dispensation, the ministry of agriculture has reconstructed its relationship with farmers so well that today Nigeria is close to achieving sufficiency in food production.
“Today, they have blocked leakages in farmers’ access to fertilizers, provision of real-time information to farmers through making available handsets to farmers across the country. The current minister has also helped farmers in dry season farming”.
Taking a swipe at the posturing of the former minister, Damian Ilenre of the Farmers Initiative in Benin wondered whether Bello left any personal belonging in the office he left years ago “that he suddenly realised must be retrieved.” He added that in a civilized community, former public officers of former minister’s ilk should be hiding their heads in the face of the landmark achievements being recorded in that sector under the current dispensation.
“May be he needs to be reminded of the N14billion fertilizer contract scam that rocked his tenure for him to keep quiet,” Ilenre added.
Also, the Chairman, Umza Rice and chairman, Rice Processors Association, Mohammed Abubakar, said that Adesina created incentives for seed and fertilizer companies to develop supply chains to reach farmers directly in the country. He noted that Adesina has succeeded in attracting $5billion worth of investments by the private sector into local fertilizer manufacturing.
A media practitioner and Chairman of 3D Global Leadership, Dr Victor Oladokun, said Bello’s claim was a pack of lies, stating that Adesina has achieved more in two years than Bello achieved in his seven years as agriculture minister. In a statement, Oladokun said his research into Bello’s eight-year tenure, the longest ever for an agriculture minister, showed that he did not achieve anything worth talking about.
“I also spoke with farmers, private sector executives, and agribusiness leaders. My findings and the collective scorecards of those I spoke to was that, at best, he was lacklustre,” he said, reminding Bello that success is not judged by how long someone stays in office, but by what was achieved during that period.
He accused Bello of superintending over an agriculture ministry notorious for its brazen fertilizer fraud and other anomalies. According to Oladokun, within two years, Adesina ended the corrupt, crony-driven fertilizer racket that helped serve the interest of the rich and the politically powerful, and turned farmers into paupers.
Countering Bello’s claim that the federal government gives farmers two bags of fertilizer, Oladokun challenged the former minister to tell Nigerians how many bags farmers got under his tenure.
He said, “The farmers know better. Their fertilizer was hijacked and ‘shared’ by the elite. So shady was the direct fertilizer procurement system that Nigeria was known to have one of the worst cases of fertilizer corruption in the world.
Just ask the millions of farmers who today receive fertilizer directly, without needing middlemen or political cronies.”

Time to bring the party home.

I cannot understand what he says sometimes. What an accent.

akoaki:
There is too much frustration, disappointment, anguish and anger in nigerians at the moment. Even those of us who live in the southwest experience a lot of embarrassment from frustrated and angry pedestrians when we drive around town. These are the typical behaviours you see in a people whose government cares less about their basic human needs such as food, clothing, shelter, education and security . In short, a hungry man is an angry man. The more the hunger, the more the anger

I hope you are talking about your local and state governments.

Kenai:
Oooh, I've got the link if you want it. And yes I just checked my facts from the Punch.
There, he faulted the FG's crackdown on Boko Haram, and complained about the fact that the Boko Haram operatives were killed and their houses were demolished, "UNLIKE THE SPECIAL TREATMENT GIVEN TO THE NIGER DELTA MILITANTS".
This is a man trying to draw up analogies between a group of people fighting for their rights after so many years of environmental degradation, and a gang of indoctrinated bastards who wish to kill and convert people to Islam against their own wishes.

Face it. The man shot himself on the foot. He's finished.

I like the way, you have spoken the truth. Nigeria is a tribal country, only the pretenders lie to themselves claiming the opposite. At the end of the day, we are all voting for our own self interest. Thanks for making my day, with your sincere and objective comments.

jpphilips:
Have you located the school? by the way, it is written 2.5mbbls not 2.5Mbbs,
I will continue doing my best to assist the emptiness you ooze.

Even editing your comments after the fact, is not going to hide your daftness. .

jpphilips:
Have you located the school?

Dumbass give it up, spare me your stupidityy, next time don't make claims you don't understand.

jpphilips:
This is the website of the London Buisness school, they will tutor you better, this failed indomie generation have no credit to whatever academics puts on the table, very shameful!!

A typical empty vessel, you are smart enough, to side step the meat of this issue. Before you walk around talking rubbish, OPEC is not fighting a price war. Stop your pretentious silliness and tell us, why a dumbass like you want OPEC to remove 2.5Mbbs

phantom:
Bros, just move on or better still,do some reading.
go and find out what effect cutting supply would have had on price action.

before you come on a discourse,try to at least be a bit knowledgeable in that field.

That's your problem, you think OPEC is fighting a price war? Sometimes you people should pass and keep quiet

Nobleval:
what about the Ogas that disobeyed orders? They are untouchable? I remember reading somewhere on how some army generals abandoned their soldiers and fled from Bh. This country is so sick!

That's the problem, you people keep reading the fifth columnist propaganda and some troops and their family members buy that junk.

hifaif:
I know that nothing I say will stop you from being sadistic. I hope you get forcefully conscripted soon, so that you can be wasted.

Moniker number three , you are always tormented by my comments. After you finish looking for your father, you can go and die.

hifaif:
All this gibberish. Why not join the army? We know you are a coward. Always running their mouth about someone else not being brave.

that will not stop the firing squad of deadbeats like you.

So if they support Wike because he is Ikwerre, not because he is intelligent with progressive programs, what is Ikwerre than calling other groups in Rivers State, slowpoke?

I prayer for your forceful conscription to fight insurgents and militants.

Coward, go and look for your father.

OrlandoOwoh:
Brave man, why not join the Nigerian Army? Rubbish!

Is that your brother that's about to die for your generational cowardliness? Shameless liar.

SLIDEwaxie:
let's just assume he is your brother, wld u av wished him a merry firing squad, u ds dumb head?

I will do the shooting myself. Happy now

CyberWolf:
ask her the ones BH loot from their warehouse, are they not arms?...all this poorly armed mantra is becoming stale

That's the joke with these people and their lack of weapons nonsense. 99% of the same boko haram arms come from the same army lacking weapons. Weapons cowards like this young man leave on the front lines.

Ucheosefoh:
I will and you tell the military chiefs to do the needful by providing the necessary hard wares meant for this soldiers

The army has their needed hardware, cowards should stay away.

Ucheosefoh:
I will do that but your comment is rude

Tell the dead that this men were suppose to protect about how rude my comments were.

ifyclose2:
and your s.tupidity will not let you realize that billions of naira which would have helped equip these brave men were EMBEZZLED by corrupt military/defence chiefs.

Shut your big mouth off, with your embezzlement rubbish. Same fucccking story from cowards since 1960.

"They said their refusal to obey orders of the Commanding Officer of the Special Forces Battalion, Lt. Colonel Opurum, was as a result of non availability of arms and ammunition to prosecute the instruction of the commander."

...Yet their commander, Lt-Col Opurum went with just 29 men and SUCCESSFULLY carried out the mission
