He's recording the proceedings mentally. This is one of the reasons Obama left them in the USA and made his way to Kenya. Theÿ don't appear as serious people. Obama means business... Buhari and his team were jokes

Erm bros OBAMA doesn't arrive Kenya till tomorrow.
Didn't you just create a thread about Buhari not doing research?

Nnemuka:
I couldnt hear anything... despite trying hard.
I wish there was an interpreter to interpret his daura English.

If you can't understand what he says then you need to work on yourself. Isn't it funny that the interviewer heard him but you didn't?

dearpreye:
You can attest to the fact the Igbos are the most hardworking, enterprising and smart Nigerians.

The evidence on ground doesn't support your statement.

I've read so many Biafran threads here on nairaland and all of them state what you have just said and also include the " we don't need oil to survive " mantra but when one does a critical analysis of the south east region, the reality on ground says a different story.

The south east has been ruled by "Biafrans" for the last 16 years, they also got the added benefit of sharing from Niger Delta oil but as a group, they have nothing to support their claim that as a country they'll do better than Nigeria.

The cry of marginalisation won't stop in Biafra because the problem of Nigeria is the mentality of us Nigerians and creating an artificial boundary does nothing to change the mentality. Check nairaland, you'd see a thread where Anglicans were crying marginalisation in Enugu state because neither the PDP governorship candidate and his deputy are Anglicans. Do you think that would stop with the creation of Biafra?

As a people, we have placed sectionalism (for lack of a better word) far above competence and that is the major reason why Nigeria is not working.
We would rather have someone from our region/state/local government/village/religion/denomination/street in authority than a competent person.

Biafra is an utopian dream sold to a persons who are intellectually lazy.
Smart people find solutions while the ignorant blames others but himself.

OP
The president is allowed to take his family on state visits.
GEJ always went with Patience, Buhari chose his son.

What is good in harassing and blackmailing a Nigerian ?
I don't understand why some of you believe Nigeria is a jungle where anything goes.

Mind you, I have got no issue with SSS searching his house but what was wrong is
passing a guilty verdict on him based on what they claim was "incriminating" evidence
because I never knew SSS to be a justice system on its own.

When does owning bullet proof cars becomes an offense ?

I expect him to be charged ASAP if the SSS's side of story has any credibility in it

You have to get clearance before you can use a bullet proof vehicle in Nigeria.
I'm not saying Sambo is guilty, but the report says he couldn't show evidence of ownership during interrogation.

barcanista:
Because I have no interest for back and forth argument. Like I said earlier the term "High Calibre" rifle is subjective

No it's not subjective. Every country with gun laws defines it.

peedeeasobie:
How is that treason

You should direct that to the DSS.

zicoraads:
Perhaps you would be so kind to post it here for us to all get some education on the subject.

http://www.nigeria-law.org/Firearms%20Act.htm

zicoraads:
Oh please, spare us the mumbo jumbo. The DSS found nothing on Dasuki...zilch. The man had barely left office when they went after him. Perhaps, isn't it possible that he had yet to return all 'official' stuffs in his possession?

[b]And as a retired military officer, and an ex NSA, does the same laws of possession of rifles that applies to civilians also apply to him? [/b]Just admit it, the DSS are just clutching at straws. Most of these retired military officers that have served in certain positions that would make them high profile targets for assassinations in Nigeria have these weapons for protection.

You need to read up on Nigerian gun laws.

barcanista:
Where did I claim Yahoo is one?

You posted a link of yahoo answers as proof to support your claim. What was that supposed to mean?

barcanista:
Since when did you become an authority?

Can you point out were I claimed I was one?

peedeeasobie:
How does expensive car translate to treason?
Should we try IBB, T.A Orji for treason because they have expensive cars while in office or after office?

He said it was state properties, if after a week, he doesn't return them then they should come and collect their cars!

This has nothing to do with TREASON!

We are gradually seeing the making of a DICTATOR!

I guess you didn't read the part were the DSS stated that non of those items were in his handover notes.

joseph1832:
Bros the thing sef surprise me oh! Yahoo news ke?!.

Chisos is a christian!!!.

The dude thinks I'm one of his uneducated minions.

Imagine putting up yahoo answers as proof.

Are you joking? Since when did yahoo answers become an authority in anything?

Yevgeny:
Barcanista posting ridiculous articles as usual

This simpleton and his moronic and gullible followers always make me laugh. He is so delusional that he is beginning to believe he is some kind of expert on Nigerian politics with his guguru and epa analysis.

I shat on this thread

When you read his articles and then see the people who believe he is making sense, you'd weep for Nigeria.

barcanista:
Point of Note: The DSS never said they saw "Assault Riffles" but "High Calibre Rifle". What is "High Calibre rifle"? This is subject to opinion because what one may classified as high another will classify as low.

No, it is not subject to opinion. "calibre" is a standard of measurement.
Get an education and stop posting articles filled with half truths.

It's sad someone actually paid money to send the OP to school.

Mynd44:
So your house is being searched and you are supposed to be allowed to go out to visit people and people are also supposed to be allowed to visit you so they can "tamper" with evidence (if any exists).

Now I remember why I stopped bothering to join the discussions you people have here

Dude why are you trying to pour sand into another man's garri?

Bitterleafsoup:
My friend you have to start somewhere. Where were you when OBJ pocketed the trillions meant for our electricity improvement and GEJ had to start from scratch in only 3 years he was able to achieve great feats.
You people are ingrates of the highest orders.

I know his followers have a hard time with comprehension but look at the pretty colors if it helps.

Bros you are too old to be lying. OBJ started NIPP.
Simple Google search would help you.

989900:
1. Not everyone exports the same thing.

2. Some exporters (if not all) actually need to also import and service equipment, and raw materials.

3. Pay salaries and other charges/payments for services.

4. Inflation afflicts all.

To point number 2, if they get paid in dollars, why don't they import their raw materials rather than repatriate the funds and sell to the banks?

Reski:
Barcanista if Nigeria is made up of 60% people like you. Then we will have a bigger problem than terrorism, corruption, maladministration etc. On our hands!

Unfortunately Nigeria is made up people like him. That's why the country is in a terrible state.

Are you saying the NSA should be chosen based on tribe ?

abat4real37:
These are beautiful, if I am a student in this kind of institution, what will be my excuse to not graduate with first class

Too many other things.......

Proud to have taken lectures here.

[s][/s]

When you wake up to reality, ring the primary school bell.

I know you can't deal with the truth that your hero ruined this country. Sad part is you can't wish history away.

atlwireles:
What makes me sad, is the fact majority of Nigerians don't understand what's going on, in the country. They are sold empty propaganda when the opposite is the case.

No you are the one selling propaganda. GEJ was President when crude oil sold for record prices yet he had to borrow to pay salaries before he was booted out.
External reserves were at record levels when GEJ took over, yet he somehow found a way to drastically reduce it despite selling crude at record prices.

Fairgodwin:
I beg to disagree.

You own the right disagree.


https://www.nairaland.com/2042218/special-report-salary-nigerian-senators

The above thread contains the salary of Nigerian senators kindly educate yourself on how allowances are calculated.

anonimi:
The Aso Villa feeding budget also and the presidential jet maintenance budget and the presidential motorcade convoy fuel budget are "calculated based on salaries"


See gobe

Are those items personally paid to Buhari? Besides can you remind us who prepared the budget for those items you listed?

Fairgodwin:
All these pay cut doesn't affect all their major allowances, I suppose.
Just their basic salary, which is not even much in the first place. I want the pay cut to include all their allowances and basic salary, and then I'd be truly glad and see them as 'progressives.'

Allowances are calculated based on salaries so if salaries are reduced by 50% percent, it also means all allowances are reduced by 50%.

safarigirl:
vmy strength is.....well, i'm easy to talk to and very creative.

My weakness, I worry far too much.

Do I consider myself a happy person? No, not really

Why are you "not really happy"?

What would change about you and what will you not change?

What do you think is your strength and weakness
Do you consider yourself a happy person?

Gboliwe:
Jail Sule Lamido and sons, bail Nyako and sons

The judge will hear Sule Lamido's application for bail in September.

Oh by the way Ohakim was also granted bail...

FreeGlobe:
I'm I the one to do Buhari's job for him? I'm just reminding him that we are waiting for the change he promised simple. If he is not competent to do the job, he should resign asap. Stop dragging this matter. Buhari should stop harassing the opposition with his EFCC!

Nyarko is a member of the APC, so i don't know where you got "harassing the opposition" from. I am so sure you are unhappy that Lamido and Nyarko are both from the north because it denied you the opportunity to play the tribal card.


PS: It doesn't matter where he starts from, at least he has started.
