For those coming in soon, RBC is giving out iPads for the promo this year. It ends August 31st though.

SalamRushdie:
The fact that the best thing Buhari çan think of to do with 350 million dollars is to share it in a country lacking all sorts of social amenities shows how empty and bereft of ideas he is

Buhari didn't think of it, it was a condition for the return of the money.
The Swiss government prefers that the money is shared to the people than for it to be relooted.

Lesser of two evils.

Actually, the person needs to get the South East to vote.

In 2015, Buhari won GEJ by about 2.5M votes.

Kano, Kaduna, Katisna and other North Western/Eastern States recorded above 70% turn out and it's hard to top that in 2019.

On the other hand, the South East recorded about 30% turn out and taking it to 60% reduces the deficit by at least 1million.

For 2019, as of today, Buhari will loose the North Central, and the 55% he won in the South West has shrunk to about 48%.

The PDP has a chance in 2019 and playing their cards right, they can win it.

Shehu Sani like Murray Bruce are pseudo intellectuals. They say what the people want to hear even though it's wrong.


The money was released to Nigeria on the condition that it's gets to the people directly and that's what the government is doing.

magicminister:
The reason pastors are picked on is because they have alot of followers and insane amount of influence on their followers.
They can actually shape the course of ths nation if all the pastors speak with one voice on good governance, encourage the people to get their pvc and mandatate them to vote and stay their votes are counted.

Pastors have alot of influence but they choose to use it for nothing meaninful!

The more a society develops, the less religious the people become so the pastors are protecting their business empires.

Coming back to say something


Back to say something.

If a country is bad, check the crop of people they called leaders.

I had the worst January of my life under this government. They've actually frustrated everyone in this country.

Leaders don't fall from heaven, they come from the society so if the leaders are bad, it means the society is bad.

VULCAN:
When the chief of army staff Actually [b]Was Igbo he was hounded day and night by Northerners including Gen Buhari. And Jonathan being a Lilly livered weakling let him go. [/b]

This was the period when Gen. Buhari released another chart topper

“The declaration of state of emergency in three Northern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe is a grave injustice against the North.” – Buhari (Liberty Radio, June 2, 2013)

Why I feel for the defenders of the bigot is the man has NEVER hidden his hatred for Christians nor his contempt for democracy so he always makes their work so difficult. But because some people are either emotionally or financially invested in his regime, they have to keep up with PR

Going by the bold part of your statement, hasn't it occurred to you that most of this things are political / commercial conflicts masked at religious conflicts because its the only way to keep Nigerians divided?

When GEJ was president, the Army hounded innocent Biafra agitators. When GEJ was president, there was still conflict and killings in Plateau and nobody shouted islamization or Christainization.

What makes this one different from the one that happened in GEJ's era, the one that happened in Yar'Adua's era, the one that happened in OBJ's era?
May be if you put your hatred for Buhari to one side, you would see that Buhari's only fault in this is not been proactive as the chief security officer of the country.

Read the article and see that its been an ongoing issue since 1994.

VULCAN:
I apologise for forgetting the rubber stamper Olonisakin, a man that cannot cough without taking permission from Hausa Fulani.

First it was all the service chiefs are Fulani, now its this one. If the chief of Army staff was Igbo wouldn't he still take permission from a Fulani man?

VULCAN:
Now, the fact that we have a Fulani president that has appointed only Hausa Fulani security chiefs should be a warning sign to anyone with high IQ. Even if a Fulani President does not want to appoint an Igbo man as a security chief(due to hatred), what of Edo, Yoruba, Cross River, Christian middle belt etc? Oh no, they are not qualified.

Chief of Naval staff and Chief of Defence staff are not Fulani or they don't count because it doesn't fit your agenda?

This post is exactly why Nigeria and Africa as a whole is backward.

Rather than find out the cause and ways to prevent such from re occuring, we go spiritual.

Myself2:
Mr pointer, go and buy one to be pointing out for you,
Call Reno whatever you wish,,I have made my statement about that b!tch Oby

The so call b***h is a former world bank Vice President. Something Reno or you won't come close to at all.

By the way, Jesus must be so proud of you, you are truly behaving like he would.

4FACEADELEKE:
Me want appointment?Since I was born I have never taken a kobo or anything from any politician.So I don't know where you are driving at.They way am seeing it seems you were one of those who voted that super clueless dullard and animal in Aso Rock.If you are one, let the blood of innocent Nigerians that have lost their lives throughout this regime rest on your head.Bye.

Oh so you don't want appointment but Oby wants appointment because she told you so?

You claim Oby is only protesting because she wants an appointment, shouldn't that logic apply to you?

So what about innocent lives lost during GEJ's tenure? Are their blood on your head?

Litmus:
What do people mean by, "lf Buhari had given her position would she be protesting?" And " no one should sympathetise with her for her harassment by security service becuse she supported Buhari and played a part in his election?"

Firstly, it is the convention in any part of the world where democratic politics take place that ministers in the gorvenment will toe the party line even if minister has grave reservation with thire parties policies. Extent of true dissensions usually only come to light when government has left office;occasionally, before this there may be resignations. And even in instances when ministers have left office by resignation, wider observations rearely give unmitigated credit, there are often mumblings that said ministers did not resign purely on principal but that they resigned becuse of frustrated ambitions. Therefore to state that "Ezekwesili would not have protested if she had been given a political position" is to state the obvious and not a valid criticism.

Secondly to state, "people should not support Ezekwesili becuse she supported and helped Buhari get into power" is so primitive I don't even know where to begin , 200 people were slaughtered no one is expert on how such a thing affects people

...this one deserves deep contemplating in order to illustrate how stupid it is; but, contemplating it deserves, because, somehow, the stupidity encapsulate what has gone wrong with democracy in Nigeria

....I think it's to do with Nigerians mistaking tribalism, sectionalism, housewife dramma for democratic party politics or something....

The bold part says all you need to know about Nigerians. They don't want good government, they want a government were they can be rewarded that's why its hard for them to believe that some people can actually do things without expecting reward.

onatisi:
Don't mind her ,she thinks buhari is as gentle as gej that allowed her to do and say all sorts of nonsense during his time. If she thinks that Nigerians will follow and support her then she is terribly mistaken. She was banking on APC rewarding her with an appointment for the job she did for them by protesting with the bbog saga. She is just a political mecenary that got played by APC

So the only reason you supported PDP is because you were hoping to get an appointment?

Myself2:
Who are the We " you're talking about, please speak for yourself,Reno Omokri is making sense, Oby is one of the zombies that supported this tyrannical slowpoke called Buhari to undeservedly become president,so she should wallow in her groaning alone

Can you point out were she supported Buhari.

Reno is an idiot. The only reason Reno is pained is because he's out of government.

4FACEADELEKE:
Is it not she that used the BBOG campaign for spiting jonathans image,decieving Nigerians while collecting money from APC to promote the biggest scam in Nigerian political history.She also served as a tool for the APC so that at the end they will give her appointment.But unfortunately for her Buhari was never the saint she taught he was.She was used and dumped.Ask yourself this question,do you think if Buhari had given her appointment,she would have been protesting against him today?

1) Nobody destroyed GEJ's image. His cluelessness was visible to the blind.
2) Can you point out were she collected money for BBOG?
3) Can you point out were she served as a "tool" for APC? (You've made so many allegations without proof)
4) If she wanted an appointment, she would have joined APC. The last part also says a lot about you(Not everybody is selfish like you, Lots of people do things because its right or wrong and not because they expect payment. Someone like you wouldn't know or understand that).

I am guessing the only reason you oppose Buhari or any government in particular is because you want an appointment.

Ceremony to rehabilitate road again? In 2018?

4FACEADELEKE:
Then you are the most deluded fool in history.Cant you think,with all her wealth and educational qualifications she couldnt deduce that Buhari becoming Nigerias president is going to be a bloody disaster.Maybe she isnt that educated because if she was,she would have opened the history books back to 1983 and onward.

Can you point out were she campaigned for Buhari? If she really campaigned for Buhari, that should not be so hard to find right?

4FACEADELEKE:
That woman is a useless nonentity,she brought this upon herself and Nigerians.I remember years ago in 2014 or thereabout she blocked me on twitter,because i was saying the truth that Buhari is a wrong choice and Nigerians should never vote him.She decided to support the terrorist Buhari and APC,and rained curses on Jonathan.What you sow they see you must reap,vand this woman here,is reaping the evil fruit of her labour.

Can you point out a tweet/publication/campaign were Oby said Nigerians should vote for Buhari?

As for reaping what she sowed, Oby is a former World bank Director and sits on the board of so many companies. She's made for life and she doesn't have to protest for anything.

Nigerian's get the leaders they deserve and if I met Oby, I would tell her to go enjoy her money somewhere because Nigerians like you are worse than Buhari.

Reno is part of the problems of this country.

Everyone says Oby supported Buhari, but I am yet to see anywhere she campaigned for Buhari. I'd be glad if someone can show me that.


Being against GEJ is not the same as Being for Buhari. You can dislike the two of them.

Anyone who doesn't understand that should refund what was spent on their education.

If you have the opportunity to get the degree, get it. It doesn't make you a good programmer, but it gives you the basics.

Also you never know when it would come in handy.

A Nigerian programmer I know and was willing to help with his immigration to Canada ran into problems because he dropped out of school.

ozodigboo:
forget this post and 2014.
I'm talking about what's happening NOW

You can't separate the two of them. Has it occurred to you that may be the reason why this problem hasn't been solved is because its not political?
We all blame Buhari for this (rightly so because he's the CSO) but if it happened under GEJ who says it won't happen under another President.

ozodigboo:
I pity Osibanjo
I pity Christians in the Nigeria military who know
what's happening but won't talk.
I pity we Nigerian youths who hv allowed ethnic and
tribal differences to blind us to the fact that Nigeria
is drifting.

yes, GEJ may not have tackled corruption, but at least people were alive.

The incidence that was narrated in this post happened in 2014 and GEJ was President. Are you saying that GEJ sponsored the herdsmen?

What's your definition of a dysfunctional family.

Let start from there.

eyeview:
Find out who the key note speaker was in 2014 at the formation of the apc. It was her

Did you listen to the keynote?

eyeview:
She thinks it's Jonathan's era where she had freedom of speech. Let her enjoy the change she aggressively campaigned for. I remember the insults she meted out on Jonathan in a bid to please buhari.
Officer, throw her away from there. Check her phone too, she for be yahoo yahoo somebody.

So who is she pleasing with this protest?

Also can you point out were she campaigned for the APC?

Hedonisst:
I'm sure UBA paid for his drink - as the bank pays for his jet travels, slay queen Bleep sessions, and a million other "overheads'.

Fake 'billionaire' who doesn't spend his own money on anything but instead feeds fat on UBA depositors funds - and by extension public funds.

Nonsense and ingredients! Useless country where corporate governance is merely a buzzword. Very useless indeed.

Bros why you no find bank wey go pay for your own overhead?

tomakint:
To round up, I decided to put up this write up to let Buhari and his admirers to know that not every Nigerians belong to the fools category. I know by training, by reading, by experience, by information and by the present economic hardship, how a government ought to be run and what a head of state and government should say and character he should, by my scale you failed in all.

Its sad that I had to read this IQ reducing post but this last part is so laughable I decided to comment. There's a saying that you can force a horse to the river, but you can force it to drink water.

The constitution has given the National assembly the power to add and make amendments to the budget as they deem fit, but the power of execution still lies with the executive. The president and his team are the ones who would prioritize the capital projects and release funds not the National Assembly.
With half the year already gone, the President can decide not to release funds for projects added by the National Assembly and nothing would happen.

I do agree with you though, the President isn't wise. He should have kept his mouth shut and ignored the projects added by the National Assembly.

goldcoinhub:
“The State IGR was less than 700,000 per month; as such we cannot compare ourselves with other states that generate billions monthly.

Lots of people earn more than this and if 700k is the revenue generated by a state, then that state should be merged.

There should be no debate of Ronaldo vs Messi. It is Ronaldo vs Ronaldo.

There's no debate . One is a god, one isn't even the best Ronaldo alive.

"2nd Niger Bridge construction on about 60%completion."

OP stop lying and even if you want to lie do it with sense, remember there is a God.

2nd Niger bridge is not even 10% complete.

Chuksaluta:
It has nothing to do with gas flaring, gas flaring is more of an operational thing and not because of low gas demand.

I'm not sure I understand your post, but the person I quoted was talking about signing a contract to supply another nation gas when our needs have not been met.
