Afam4eva:
I think the north is actually 100%. There is no South. It's just the figment of our imagination.

This is what happens when the north have taken the south for a ride and think, what da heck, let's take this ish a notch higher.

Who took you for a ride? Were you not a supporter of power shift five months ago? Are you surprised by the insanity of almajiris?

Mojeed Jamiu is cutting jobs and raising prices to prevent his furniture and clothing store in Lagos from closing after Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele restricted foreign currency supply for some imports.

Emefiele in June banned importers from using official foreign-currency channels leaving many to use illegal markets for about 40 categories of goods, including furniture, textiles and rice, the latest in a series of controls since December that have dried up dollar supplies in Africa’s biggest economy and oil producer.

Due to a dearth of local manufacturing, companies like Jamiu’s FM Best Bargain Ltd. have no choice but to import goods.
“One must survive,” the 47-year-old father of three said in low tone in one of his show rooms in a four-story building on a busy road in the Lagos district of Ogba. “Businesses will close shop if you don’t know where to get the next dollars and at what cost. Jobs that were done by two people, we now engage one person.”

Emefiele’s push to cut imports is clashing with his mandate to keep prices in check as the economy struggles to cope with a 50 percent fall in Brent crude prices over the past year. While the curbs have kept the naira almost unmoved on the official interbank market at 199 per dollar since March, parallel rates on the black market have dropped to record lows of 240 per dollar as businesses buy foreign currency where they can.

Rising Inflation
The parallel rate may still weaken a further 20 percent within two weeks if the restrictions continue, said Aminu Gwadabe, president of the Association of Bureaus de Change of Nigeria.
Inflation accelerated 9.2 percent in June, quickening for the seventh straight month to take the rate beyond the central bank’s target band of 6 percent to 9 percent.

With 21 percent of all Nigeria’s imports affected by the restrictions, the pace of price increases will probably remain above the policy maker’s goal for the rest of the year, according to Standard Bank Group Ltd., Africa’s biggest lender.
Companies being hurt by the policy can start producing the goods they are selling, Ibrahim Mu’azu, a central bank spokesman, said by phone from the capital, Abuja. “I don’t think the restriction will cause inflation or unemployment.”

Domestic businesses don’t yet have the capacity to produce those goods and the central bank’s decision will cause unemployment, said Muda Yusuf, chief executive officer of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Black-Market Pressure

Nigeria’s unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in the second quarter from 7.5 percent in first quarter, the nation’s statistics bureau said in statement on its Twitter account. The chamber is planning to carry out a study of the impact on its members, Yusuf said.
“The restricted items account for as much as $6 billion of goods imported in the country every quarter and it’s putting pressure on naira on the streets,” Gwadabe said.

Nigeria’s manufacturing industry contracted by 0.7 percent in the first quarter of 2015, after expanding 15.4 percent in the same quarter a year earlier. While the Lagos chamber has met with central bank officials, who promised to review the policy, there hasn’t been any change.
The regulator said it is waiting for President Muhammadu Buhari to detail his economic plans. That’s on hold until September, when Buhari said he will appoint his cabinet. Monetary policy remains “handicapped” without fiscal guidance, Emefiele told reporters on June 24. The central bank may increase the list of items that can’t be imported, Emefiele was cited as saying in an interview with Lagos-based ThisDay newspaper on Monday.

An official devaluation of the naira is inevitable and it’s best for Nigeria to take the hit now, Yusuf said.
“It’s better to allow the naira to find its level so that all of us can have peace,” he said.

Answering the question on what the government was doing to facilitate the return of some of them who wants to go back home, Buhari said: “I believe a lot of you are doing well and are better off here. So, the question of facilitating your coming home does not arise.’

“We don’t want you to come back home and be unemployed. Don’t come and add to our problems. If you have something doing here please continue doing it.”



THIS IS THE PRESIDENT OF A NATION. LORD HAVE MERCY

WHY MINORITIES WORLD OVER ARE AND WILL REMAIN POOR. …. THE SYSTEM IS RIGGED AGAINST YOU

By Ena Ofugara:
This article will attempt to show why minorities, from the blacks in America to the minorities in Nigeria are poorer and will remain so. I will indeed include Igbos as minorities as indeed the system is also rigged against them.
From time immemorial, all societies have developed means to keep others not like them beneath them. It has been done in the form of slavery, caste systems, Sarakunas and Talakewas, Royalty, noblemen feudal lords and serfs, Ogboni, Illuminati etc. The reasons for some to come together and oppress others have ranged from skin colour, to tribe, to religion and even to the possession of manlinesses. Yes, rules that ensure male dominance and different set of rules governing men and women is no different from when there are different set of rules for whites and black. We must now streamline this article as it could be stretched to become a whole book.

In streamlining this article, we must immediately look at the US and wonder why the blacks seem to be never-do-wells. Yours truly have questioned and criticized the blacks for being in jail so much and not wanting to go to school etc. That was before my eyes became open to systemic racism. For the blacks, think about the head start whites have had over them. They came to the US just 400 years ago and to conditions that were beneath human. It is only recently that segregation ended but then has racism ended? Lacigreen explains how and why the blacks remain forever poor. She reminds of the REDLINING law of 1962 where the Federal Government of the US made 120 billion dollars available for people to get homes. The only snag, only whites could access this loans. Thus with this money, whites were able to get beautiful homes in the best areas, while the blacks, without such help, had to be quartered in the projects and that is the beginning of ghetto life. The whites and their fancy loans could invest in their dreams and grow while the blacks stayed poor and had to do crimes to survive which then leads to arrests and many children have to grow up without their fathers to nurture them. Thus begins the circle of failure. Now add this to laws that make crimes or actions of blacks receive more punishment, eg selling crack receiving ten times more punishment than selling cocaine and blacks being more easily searched and so caught more often with marijuana and illegal guns, even when whites do it too, and you begin to understand. Then add the fact that in the US they have background checks before employment which means if ten white kids and ten black kids are smoking weed, nine of the white kids will walk right past police officers and not be arrested while 8 of the black kids will be searched and convicted and that is 8 black men who may never find work again as they are now “ex-convicts”.

Furthermore in the US, I hear it is changing, but you can only go to public schools in your district or neighbourhood. This means that blacks who cannot afford to live in these white neighbourhood built by thoDelta newsroom logose government loans, must attend schools in the ghetto or projects. Now public schools are financed by taxes. The whites with all their loans are able to pay higher taxes so get to have better schools while the schools in the projects that majority of the blacks must attend, can never compare to the schools in the white areas, and so the whites are armed with better schooling and ready to compete with a black boy for the same space in a top company. Add white privilege to this where the white is usually employed first, and you will know why the black kid may just see his absolution as rap music, gangs and selling drugs (Majority of blacks do well in school and succeed in life. This is not intended to be an insult to them black folks. But I bet you understand what I am saying)

In Nigeria, the whites are easily represented by the Yorubas and Hausa-Fulani. (Don’t shoot me yet). They are the most populous tribe in Africa and have been and remain in positions of power to make policies and benefit from them. Now in 1972, the Federal Military Government headed by Gowon made the Nigerian Enterprises Promotion Decree which Obasanjo remade in 1977 as the INDIGENIZATION Decree. This law made it compulsory for all foreign companies to sell 51 percent at least of their shares to a Nigerian owner. That is, the almighty Royal Niger Company (later became UAC) that practically colonized us were forced to sell 51 percent of their company to Nigerians.
This sales were forced as said. But new Nigerian millionaires were about to be created. Mere civil servants became controlling share holders overnight as the federal government made it possible for banks to give loans to Nigerians to buy the white companies…at least controlling shares.

It is important to note that this was 1972, two years after the Biafran War and Igbos yet to be integrated fully in Nigeria. They were a conquered people and their “rights” if any was due to the magnanimity of the Middle-belt Gowon. Still they could not access same loans, neither could many of the minority tribes. The only Urhobo man I know that benefited from this was Gamaliel Onosode. All of the Ernest Shonekans and many unknown Yorubas and Hausas became millionaires thereby, to the exclusion of Igbos and he minorities who were not positioned nor knowledgeable enough to make use of this opportunity, or perhaps it was not just there for them. Thus Nigeria had her first set of millionaires.
The children of these people were thus able to attend the Cambridges and Oxfords and Ibadan. They were able to become the creme de la creme. They were given visas at will and that is why you see whole streets in London being Yoruba. The Hausa-Fulani and their Sarakuna and Talakewa class system only allowed for Fulanis to truly go to school while Hausas and Kanuris did not embrace education that much.
Thus is the headstart for Yorubas and Hausas and how Yorubas became the most brilliant and civilized tribe, building on the fact that even before then they had the capital and cocoa and a brilliant Awolowo that steered them toward education. But for millionaires, this is how the true first set of legal millionaires came about.

Then the next set of millionaires arose. Oil had been found in Oloibiri in Bayelsa state. The Hausa Fulani shard these lands to themselves in the name of Oil Blocks and OML and OPLs. The Yorubas ran these companies. So between them all of the moneys in Nigeria were/are lodged. The Igbos were allowed top but not ownership levels. The Niger Deltans as minorities can be cleaners and rig workers. This is still in effect till date as in Chevron, no Deltan is in management staff till today. Between the Fulanis and some Northern minority tribes who joined the army and took coups like the the Theophilus Danjumas, they own the oil blocks and with it IMMENSE WEALTH. Again, Yorubas MERELY run these companies.

Now even when opportunities to become billionaires are thrown open to all as done by Obasanjo with telecoms, it is the Northerners in some kind of background arrangement with Yorubas that can own Globacom (rumours persist that it is owned by Babangida and Mike Adenuga is a veritable front. I cannot confirm)
Also when the racket of SUBSIDY began under babangida (or Abacha?) where a man sells to government and his profit is guaranteed, only one Igbo man (Uba) can make the list and it is by the grace of Obasanjo. Again, Northerners and Westerners own it all.
And when Goodluck Jonathan sells NEPA/PHCN most fairly, it is Northerners and the Yorubas that have the type of funds to bring foreign companies and partner them to own NEPA.

And yes, Igbos on the average may look like they have moneys, they do. But when we talk Dangote and Alhaji Alhaji (richest investor in South Africa) and Abacha and Babangida and Rilwan Lukman and Obasanjo and Mike Adenuga and Harry Akande money, those who really understand wealth will know what I am talking about. The Yoruba Family that brought Julius Berger, can never be poor. Yes there are a few rich Igbo men and Niger Deltans, but I am talking deep deep pockets, what Onos Ohwevwo calls GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
OPPORTUNITY LOST…NO CRUSHED

[b]In Goodluck Jonathan, a great opportunity presented itself. By celestial providence and goodluck, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan broke the glass ceiling placed on the Niger Deltan and Igbo man. He however forgot the first rule…BOW TO THE MASTERS OR LOSE OUT. .First he tried to remove a huge source of constant wealth for them…SUBSIDY PAYMENTS. The unsuspecting, nigh doltish Nigerian public fought him and kept it. The powers that be would never forgive him as they were to strike him back a few months to re-election when they ensured his repaired refineries could not work and that fuel was scarce for the voting public.

We saw giants from our sordid past and hitherto enemies….Babangida, Obasanjo, Atiku, Theophilus Danjuma, Buhari Dangote, etc all UNITE against a common enemy, the emerging minority. YES. 2016, Jonathan would have removed subsidy, issued OML and OPL and oil blocks to new set of people including Igbos and Niger Deltans etc etc. There was no way the majority was going to allow themselves be equalled by the minorities and Igbos. So a man who successfully sold NEPA when OBJ could not even sell Nitel without hitches nor sell the NEPA well, instead doing something something and changing it to PHCN which is ineffectual. They used wealth and press power and old structures they have built to make a man who have made trains run from Port Harcourt to Enugu, Port Harcourt to Markurdi, now Port Harcourt to Kano, Lagos to Kano etc to look a failure. They forget that all countries that grew grew because of the train network.

Their deep-rooted institutions of power made a man who built the biggest dams in Africa for electricity be called clueless. Today with him gone, in a week power is almost constant in many areas. They made a man who made Nigeria begin to feed herself with dry season rice production and a man who even at christmas food prices never increase to be called OLODO. Their media might made it possible for a leader whose SEC boss was so good she is now World Bank Vice President or so, and whose ministers like Shehu Aganga, and Minister of economy and finance Ngozi Okonjo Iwealla made Nigeria to an investment paradise and number one destination of FDI and whose policy moved Nigeria from being classified as poor to middle-earning to be hated by many.

They made a man whose corruption index from all international agencies showed he improved Nigeria and stopped systemic corruption enough to move us loads of notches above where ALL other presidents put Nigeria….that is, under Goodluck, Nigeria was considered so much less corrupt, yet the structure to this day is ensuring his administration is the most corrupt even when to wikileaks, they say something different and that he is by and large honest. Yes, a man whose policy led to the first black man owning a car company is called CLUELESS when the oneelected over him and his military allies destroyed even foreign car companies. A man brings back the car companies and even bigger ones like Nissan and A NIGERIAN owns a car company…FIRST BLACK MAN ON THE PLANET and a president who ensures this is called CLUELESS

That is the power of the majority. That is the power of those who lead. THAT IS THE SYSTEM. That is what Lauren Hill rages about in songs like “I GET OUT” which the system ensures she Lauren Hill fails. That is the system that imprisons the Wole Soyinkas till they learn to eat along and be quiet. That is the system that ensures NOTHING CHANGES. That is the system where for the Igbos and Niger Delta we must find a route to Europe through Morocco. That is the system that must bring forth Fred Ajuduas if he must feed, or turn people to “baby factory” just to survive. That is why CNN will show Osaro marching across the dessert to Europe. That is the system that YES to survive, you must KILL A LION EVERYDAY academically or in business to survive. And that is the system that if not well managed by this “new” leader Buhari who has not learnt how to hide bias and hate and oppression of the minorites and Igbos, he may …he may…. he may destroy the country and with it the SYSTEM…GLASNOST AND PERESTROIKA….only perhaps more violent.

Sometimes you people come to Nairaland to fool yourselves. ...If you know the atrocities this man committed, you wont be blabbing nonsense here.

When you are privy to some information first hand and see the ignorance some people display here,you just shake your head.

Once again,shut up.You know nothing. It's not all about shouting Buhari is a dullard. ....Spits.....

Spit all you want, till you state and provide proof of the atrocities committed by Kuku, you are doing nothing but blabbing.

Take NNPC serious at your own peril.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
See what I deduced from the article, the houses were indeed sold and bought at a certain price


It was also gathered that while some of the former ministers and presidential aides have their allocations in Abuja, top military officers and some heads of government agencies have theirs in Lagos. Further investigations show that the former ministers, presidential aides and Heads of Departments and Agencies were allocated Guest Houses and other buildings owned by their MDAs at ridiculous prices.

Were there any government houses left after OBJ sold all, during his monetisation policy? Let them investigate and publish addresses for the public to see. Till then, this is just another tales by moonlight.

The fact that man knows right from wrong
Proves his intellectual superiority to the
Other creatures; but the fact that he can
Do wrong proves his moral inferiority
To any creature that cannot.” – Mark Twain

The anecdotal portrayal of Greek mythologist and substantiated by an Urhobo adage, explicitly posits that, “When a hunter of antelopes, rabbits and porcupines, fortuitously comes across an elephant in the forest, he must change his gait and bullets.” Hence, it is tantamount to wisdom for there to be strategic repositioning, reorientation of logistics and re-orchestration of formula when there is a change of order in the social and political space in any society. Can this happen with the Niger Delta militants in their struggle for justice?
The Niger Delta is the area around the southern tributaries of the River Niger which is diverse in ethnic composition, full of natural environmental hazards, rich natural resources but characterised by abject poverty and neglect by successive governments in Nigeria. The mono- cultural economy of Nigeria has been sustained by Niger Delta’s oil from the pre-independence era through independence to the post-independence era.

Oil was discovered at Oloibiri in present day Bayelsa State in 1956, but became commercialised in 1958. Since its commercialisation, the people of the Niger Delta have been treated with scorn by the powers that be. In response, the people of the Niger Delta have adopted multi-dimensional strategies aimed at drawing successive government’s attention to its deplorable plight.
The Federal Government of Nigeria as it were, made the economic strangulation of the Niger Delta the fundamental objective and the directive principle of state policy. It has refused to recognise the universally acknowledge principles of sharing in oil producing nations which is, “quid, quid protantolosolosocedit” (the man who owns the land owns what is on it, beneath it and above it). We are allocated, suffocated and spoon-fed with the laughable miniscule thirteen percent or is it the hanging but laughable 25% derivation formula. Is this fair? Why is the Niger Delta being hounded and hectored by the Federal Government of Nigeria?

Why are the genuine efforts of the Niger Delta martyrs like Isaac Adaka Jasper Boro, Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni nine, Monday Obotaire, Raymond Pemu, Victor Atiri and the submissions of the Niger Delta representatives to the National Confab not reflected in the Federal Government’s oil policies on the Niger Delta? Is pipeline vandalisation the way out? Is this divide and rule being adopted and fine-tuned by the federal government the way forward? And is the Niger Delta Master Plan the road map to our long sort after el-dorado? Will kidnappings, hostage taking, pipeline vandalisation and the weird violence being carried out by our youths and militant groups the way forward?

Recently, a group of Urhobo youths under the aegis of Urhobo Gbagbako claimed responsibility for the March 22nd, bombings of Nigeria Petroleum Development Company, NPDC, oil pipelines in Ekiugbo, Ughelli Local Government Area on a massive scale. It said that the aim was to give vent to their demand for pipeline surveillance contract. The affected pipeline was a trunk line which conveyed the product from Eriemu, Kokori, Afiesere, Uzere, West-End at Kwale, Ogini, Olomoro and Owhe to the Ughelli Quality Control Centre, UQCC.

The English playwright Alexander Pope in his Essay on Man said “let the ends of things disjoin, it is the whole world that suffers.” We admonish our Niger Delta militants that the President MuhammaduBuhari has just come on-board. We ask and pray that he should be given a short while to spell-out and actualise his road map and strategies on the Niger Delta plight. If Niger Delta militants continue to bomb oil installations, it might be a misconstrued as a deliberate and clandestine ploy by ex-President Jonathan, his Ijaw tribes men and his PDP to frustrate the present government.

We therefore call for Intellectual militancy, which is the civilised and co-ordinated presentation of our complains and grouse through discussions, peaceful protest, court actions, non-violent diplomatic global and political channels, like the United Nations, African Union, ECOWAS, OPEC, ASEAN, European Union (EU), ICC and other such-like bodies.

Intellectual militancy also entails the avoidance of bombings, kidnappings, suicidal missions, social brouhaha, political hara-kiri, kamikaze actions and sanguinary bloodletting. PresidentJ.F Kennedy (1917-1963), in his inaugural address, Jan. 1961 said “the world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe.” It is therefore advisable for the Niger Delta militants to adopt the strategy of Intellectual Militancy.

That is the system where for the Igbos and Niger Delta we must find a route to Europe through Morocco. That is the system that must bring forth Fred Ajuduas if he must feed, or turn people to “baby factory” just to survive. That is why CNN will show Osaro marching across the dessert to Europe. That is the system that YES to survive, you must KILL A LION EVERYDAY academically or in business to survive. And that is the system that if not well managed by this “new” leader Buhari who has not learnt how to hide bias and hate and oppression of the minorites and Igbos, he may …he may…. he may destroy the country and with it the SYSTEM…GLASNOST AND PERESTROIKA….only perhaps more violent.[/b]

At this point, I have to change my moniker to Alhaji sincereAbdulahi

Welcome to the Nigeria of the 1980s, the days of Lt col Aghogho Mohammed, Col Eseoghene Adamu.

socialmediaman:
Lol, ...caught in the act of wailing

You were masturbating your privy part at the bustop and quoted me by mistake. Now, you know to stay away.

Another wild goose chase

socialmediaman:
"Unpatriotic members of the military" = APC??

Whew! Never knew that saboteurs within the military or goofing soldiers were automatic members of the opposition party, no wonder the PDP blamed everything on opposition

Suffering from self indictment or what? Read and comprehend, before you quote me.

Adminisher:
Please leave the xxxx Jonathan out of this talk.The Man was a mediocre President and his mediocre CDS has just given excuses that everyone is trying to bust.

You have your dullard from Duara in charge now abi, let's see the total body count come 2019.

“The activities of these unpatriotic members of the military not only blunted the effectiveness of the fight, but also led to the needless deaths of numerous officers and men who unwittingly fell into ambushes prepared by terrorists who had advanced warning of the approach of such troops”.


Funny, how the same people today are seeking cooperation. You will reap what you sow. You people thought, you were damaging GEJ, now you know better.

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Bros, don't bother yourself, as I said during the Presidential campaign when I heard Gen Buhari borrowed for APC form. I made it clear for all to hear, Aisha Buhari is a billionaire, she served as conduit for most of PTF contracts during her husband chairmanship of PTF.

This said Aisha Buhari is not new to wiring money outside the country.

She is Gen. Buhari's "sisi" wife or better put "daughter"

Almajiri, did you talk of the FBI or the CIA in your initial comment. Dumbass, stop making a fool of yourself. A Maggot like you, pretending to have a clue, when you have none.

tbaba1234:
There are many scenarios, it could easily an impersonator using the 'buhari' name to make money. Not uncommon in Nigeria.

You know you're grasping at straws

torkaka:
. . . . . . . .head in the toilet bowl boy, the present director of the FBI (James Comey) is a republican . . . . . . . . . . . . .goon, the closest American agency to the DSS in Nigeria is the FBI. . . . . . . . . . . .imp, I know you might want to mention the united states secret service, that agency is only saddled with presidential protection and financial crimes . . . . . . . . . . . . .this Almajiri is miles ahead of you . . . . . . . . . . .DULLITO, BRING IT ON!!!

[/s]
Almajiri, you have been corrected, no need wasting my time with dumbasses like you.

tbaba1234:
She identified herself as daughter that is all we know.

Every other thing is assumption.

You have made my point. Just as many see her as his daughter and not wife.

MabraO:
Oya carry EFCC or DSS go Aso rock go arest am na

tbaba1234:
It was not assumed.

The Aisha Buhari in the report claimed to be Buhari's daughter.

Because in normal settings, she would be his daughter not his wife.

tbaba1234:
It is not fake but the information peddled by the op is inaccurate. This Aisha Buhari was never identified as Buhari's wife.

Intact, the claim was that she was his daughter. Buhari does no daughter named Aisha.

Correct, she was assumed to be his daughter, because a grandfather married his daughter's age mate as wife.

Aisha Buhari is the same person as Buhari's wife period.

anwo247:
The reason why Buhari cannot probe anyone? He is corrupt with his family.

Oga, you are deadly, this is just priceless.

See people comparing the CIA Director to the DG of the DSS Stupiddd almajiris always making their names present, also we have a Nigerian equivalent of the CIA, it's called NIA and Ayo Oke is the DG.



The CIA’s job is to collect and analyze information from foreign countries about potential risks to America's national security.


There are two things CIA does not do. First, it isn’t a law enforcement agency. It has no authority to arrest anyone or to enforce any laws. It simply gathers information.

Also, the CIA works only in foreign matters. It is illegal for the CIA to investigate any US citizen or company.

SeverusSnape:
These people and lie is like zombie and blood. They just hang one picture and claim It's the Cameroonians that did it, just to give Buhari a 'larger than life' image.
I trust the zombies to come and start screaming "Sai Buhari"

Every where you look; pictures, This government is a PHOTOCRATIC government not a democratic one.

Government of the CAMERA, by the CAMERA and for the CAMERA.

Goodboiyy:
Hmmmm, Clears throat, Think am done with u, Bye

Akobata fulani slave, I have all day for impostor slaves like you. Don't run, or try log in with another ID. Let me strip you of some of that sai chantering noise you almajiris make. Maggots like you will be fumigated and put under permanent pest control.
