I would have voted for a rat to become president rather than to have GEJ continue in office. If Buhari doesn't perform then I will vote against him in 2019. But GEJ was not an option during the last elections and he can never be.

Do you know how many intertribal marriages have occurred because of the NYSC programme? My fiancée and I met during NYSC she is from the north and I'm Yoruba. Such a thing could never have happened otherwise and there are thousands of similar stories all over the country.

tuborme:
Patience Jonathan never warned like this upon all the accusations we made against her.

Maybe those accusations were true then.

new2020:
Yoruba media at it again. Igbos open your eyes...the plan is to suspend all work going at Enugu International Airport until investigation( to be announced soon) is completed; similar excuse used to stop Second River Niger Bridge...safety nonsense excuse! When did they start caring about the safety of the Igbos? LOL! The River Niger Bridge suspension started like this with an article of this manner...like joke like joke, it got suspended! The objective as usual...always plotting to jeopardize SE economic gateway...to render the Enugu International Airport potential useless, encouraging Igbos to use Lagos and Abuja Airports...enrich their state tax coffers. Any attempt to stop work at Enugu Airport must be resisted by the Igbos! Enough of this nonsense...as I type now, Second Niger Bridge is still suspended going to a year now!

Wicked country. Any attempt to touch this fearless woman that gave Enugu Airport true International status despite all threats on her will be met with venom!

So did Stella Oduah embezzle public funds or not? I notice you failed to touch on this central issue in your long rant.

solid3:
I don't think the guy is guilty, I think it's just a set up.

Who is he that anybody shd bother to set him up? As far as am concerned if the girl says he did it then he's guilty.

Only in Nigeria. Somebody has ruled (or in most cases misruled) a state for eight years and after their tenure they're still crying out for recognition and patronage. Don't these people have private concerns and businesses? Can't they make a living doing anything else apart from politics? Na wa o.

Lagosians are actually consuming atleast over 15 million naira worth of cows every day,this man is clueless and in some places they are killing like 20-30 cows every day

There was one day they killed 10 cows in my presence,that is 1.5million naira in just one abbatoir and lagos has like 10

The governor said 2.19 million cattle not 2.19 million naira. That's 2.19 million x 150,000 naira. Well over 300 billion naira worth.

Bimbo akintola please go and marry, heavy smoking will not bear you kids Biko.

Shut up and mind your business! Aproko.

OZAOEKPE:
not enough to persecute him



if amaechi can use rivers money to sponsor pmb, why can't saraki use kwara money to sponsor his bills?



some hypocrites would fire back at me, how can you support your own criminal(amaechi) but when i support my own criminal(saraki), you begin to condemn me.....

Why are you deceiving yourself? Whether you're talking about Saraki, or Amaechi or PMB, are they not all members of the same APC?
Is the same party not sponsoring all of them? I think it's better you wait for the outcome of the case before you start making judgments or picking sides in the name of politics.

You must be joking. First of all, advocating for a military take over of a legitimately elected constitutional democratic government is pure treason. You are playing with life imprisonment my friend. Second, I am old enough to remember how life was under several military governments and it was no better than now. In many cases it was worse, regular riots, hyperinflation, massive unemployment, no free speech at all. Nigeria was ostracized internationally and there were political assassinations all the time. If you think Buhari is bad now you should have seen Buhari as a military dictator, people were flogged in the streets for no reason whatsoever. Be careful what you wish for, no matter how bad it is the military is never the answer.

Sammyashol:
[b] My observation about Nigeria. Some times I feel like weeping, but never

A country where hard work doesn't pay but connection.

Many of the graduates have been APC/PDP members for years but only good for being a zombie and not for CBN/NNPC jobs.

20 years from now, we will be ruled by the same families. already being positioned by their parents to take over.

The children of the rich can even own businesses and employ workers. But the are never happy unless they get govt money.

So instead of education upgrading the poor, the poor are frustrated and being told to pray to God.

And some youths have being calling for the formation of new party ahead of 2019 please tell me is it not this same set of people that will decamp to the new party?

Nigeria is just an eyesore, nepotism favoured everywhere, an average man don't have hope for a better future. Same set of people recycling themselves.

How i wish the military can take over, so that we can start rebuilding our great country [/b]

sexyexcalibur:
naija .. I give up...

60 million, and she no d pay d pension sef

How she go pay the pension when she don chop all the money finish
We Nigerians are our own worst enemies, when we get into public office our first thought is how can we steal plenty money? Pension money is blood money, money that old people worked their entire lives for and depend on in their old age. Many have died fighting for their pension, but one person without any conscience can steal even from the old and dying.
We Nigerians need to repent as a nation otherwise God will judge all of us together, both the corrupt thieves and those of us who keep quiet and do nothing about it.

porshuch:
You mean duress ? Or Durex condom?

Lol. I wonder o. Maybe they were standing under a giant condom when they signed the agreement.

Osakah24:
The truth is that Nigerian North and South Relationship is not mutually benefiting both parties. The Northern states get money from crude sales,the south should also get money from the sales of food items,Imagine a scenario where crude oil sales is shared amongst Southern states only, their Northern counterparts will invest more in agriculture so that they too can export agricultural products to the world and even the southern Nigeria. It will be a win win situation for both parties.I really think True federalism will be the best system of government for this Country.

Who told you that the south doesn't get money from agricultural sales? The problem is that oil provides easy money and subsequent governments have become lazy. They have refused to develop agriculture to the level where it can provide as much income as oil but definitely taxes are paid on agricultural products which go into the federation account.

jarkbauer:
Sue him and he will thrash you in the law court for "lack of evidence". How you wan prove overspeeding?

They are thinking of charging him for driving without a license not for overspeeding. The overspeeding aspect is just to explain how the accident happened in the first place.

For God's sake who are the people who voted for the useless immature child of a man? Why is Nigeria so cursed with bad leaders like this?

DauraDullard0:
If this is not the said Yunusa, gladly back up your claims by posting his original and true picture. Why are they hiding his identity from the public if he's a young boy as being bandied around by those who have sold their souls to the devil?

The person claiming this is Yunusa is the one supposed to prove his assertion. "Whoever asserts must prove." This picture is from her arrival at the Police headquarters in Abuja from Kano. This man in the picture was standing next to her and appears to be an authority figure, perhaps one of those who escorted her down from Kano. If you say this is Yunusa then prove it, unless the truth means absolutely nothing to you.

OBAGADAFFI:
And if you 10 year old daughter run away with another man, you will sleep comfortably at night.

The parents said their daughter is a minor with prove and you are here saying another.

So 17 is now an adult in your Constitution.

This is not about me in any way and I don't have a daughter, but if I had one I would teach her not to run away with strange boys. Her parents need to take responsibility for her bad behavior. She is not 10 years old, at the very least she is 14, maybe older. She may be too young to give consent but it appears the guy might have been a minor too when they ran away meaning no criminal charges. It's all about the law.

OBAGADAFFI:
You forgot shebis still a minority .
Any responsible guy should firstly seek parents consent before marrying their daughter.

Yes she's still a minor but in a report I saw she claimed to be 17 years and the guy involved is supposedly 18 years meaning legally there is no statutory rape involved. Also she agreed to go with him meaning no kidnapping involved too so the guy is free. The issue is not what a responsible guy should do, the issue is what the law of Nigeria allows.

hammerT:
It is all part of the act, they have absolutely corrupted the child brain with worldly promises.

Dont follow them, we will buy u a plane, that kind of thing.

Bottom-line, she belongs in her parents house and if anybody want to marry her, they must go to her fathers house to seek consent.

Kidnap is very disrespectful to her, parent and community.

At this point it's very obvious that it wasn't kidnapping. They both decided to elope together. The girl is as much at fault as the alleged abductor.

anonimi:
Once you find out why Yorubas voted the Agbaya of Owu in 2003 after four wasted years but mostly rejected Jonathan in 2015 you can extrapolate.



Lagos-Ibadan road ongoing reconstruction

You forget that Yorubas voted massively for Jonathan in 2011, against this same Buhari. You should be asking yourself what changed between 2011 and 2015.

onlymase:
Every morning I gets so much lengthy whatsapp messages from my boss and it has become annoying lately.
How can i let him know I'm not a fan of his messages? I would have blocked him but he also send work related issues sometimes.

Bro, you better be a fan of his messages asap. If your boss is sending you whatsapp messages it means he considers you to be a friend and that can only mean that your job is more secure. The moment he decides to stop sending you those messages will be a clue that he's thinking about letting you go.

khristals:
so when will they sack Buhari

Somebody sued this senator to court to get him removed. Why don't you sue Buhari to court if you have any evidence against him.

Balkan:
But remember, it's a sin to kill fellow human

In the battlefront it is not a sin. Some men of God in the bible were soldiers too.

blackestboy:
smh... I thought you guys had done the worst by "propagandering" him out of office...

Why all the cooked scenarios? He was a bad President... Yes. But he's gone!

Yes he's gone. But the effects of his ill-fated presidency are still very much with us.

banmee:
Your thought process is flawed; just like you. The amount does not even constitute a bribe based on how corrupt you guys are.

So basically you're saying that the policeman who collects 50 naira from a driver on the road is not taking a bribe because the money is too small right? So from what amount does it begin to constitute a bribe in your opinion?

989900:
Read further on how it works.
It will help. I posted some links earlier, and some topics too.

Will do. Thanks.

989900:
You pay them in dollar certificates; not currency.

Dollar certificates have to be backed by and redeemable with actual currency otherwise they have no value.

cruzita:
only God know how much food these dogs dey chop.See as that Rottweiler face dey

Not a rottweiler that dog in the middle is a pit bull. The one on the right is a bull dog and the one on the left I believe is a husky.

Even if that could work, you don't really expect it to work in a country where greed and corruption rule the day. Even in naira the money is being massively diverted, the dollars will certainly also be diverted. The CBN will not have any control over foreign exchange or access to it. Banks and legitimate business people like importers and exporters will rely on governors for the forex they need instead of legitimate financial institutions.
I think it would be a terrible idea, unless you're suggesting that the naira should be phased out and Nigeria should start using dollars as our currency instead. That's the only way it might work.

Obiagelli:
I am not in anyway an economist but i have been reading a bit, especially Henry Boyo ( truth be told, i get an anytime i do).
I believe we earn our oil revenue in dollars, what if the federal government pay states their allocation in dollars and the state simple exchange their dollars for naira at the bank or BDC.
With this system there will be surplus dollar in the system that will drive the exchange rate down. A good example of this was during the last election when dollar was raining all over the place (thanks to Dasuki) the dollar fell to 170 naira despite official rate at 197 naira.



www.dailytrust.com.ng/daily/business/51434-naira-gains-against-dollar-at-black-market


So I ask again what will go wrong if we flood the economy with dollars?

Lalasticlala obinoscopy please help push this to the front page for broader contributions

Mods, the title needs to be changed to "Cameroonian troops" to avoid confusion. Thanks.

fallout87:
APC and their zombies claim, it is the crude oil price/value which is the sole reason for the Naira free falling.

However why did the Naira drop to N344-346 for each dollar when crude oil had steadily risen 4%?

Why?

It is because it is not only oil that is affecting the naira's value. This budget of corruption and the uncertainty of Buhari and this APC government is hurting the naira value just as much as the lower oil price.

Even if someone explains it to you, you probably still won't understand. This may be beyond your level of intelligence.

kekakuz:
Some 7 months ago I was transfered to our directors office and my life changed for the better. I noticed my boss is very friendly especially towards me and trust me with key responsibilities. He gives me audience during board meetings which am not even qualified to attend. He recently approved an official car for me of which is not meant for staff on my grade level. Over time. I got used to him and I did not know how I unconsciously called him daddy. He smiled and kept his cool. We hang out a lot and he advices me on investment and wealth. Something g I cherish and put to good use.
2 weeks ago he said we need to go pick his daughter from the airport. He dropped his car and I carried him to the airport.
I meet his gorgeous daughter and the meeting was electric.
For the next week he directed me to take her around town shopping and saloon. I asked of my office duties and he said someone else has been assigned to cover for me.
We shop and club regularly but problem arises whenever I told her am going home. She wants me to always be around and am avoiding such offers to avoid doing anything g that will spoil my relationship with her father.
I resume work and the father has began to ignoring me and avoid me, when I ask him what the problem was he reply that
I make him unhappy because am avoiding his daughter.
Then I got the message clear. Now am confused because the girl sweet and cuddly but am not in love with her but her father who is my hero wants us together.
Friends what would you rather me do?

I don't believe this your story. But just in case it is true I'll advice you to either date the babe or just resign cos your boss will eventually frustrate your life if you don't do one or the other. By the way dating her doesn't mean you have to marry her. During the dating process it may become obvious that you guys are not a good match and that will be the end of that.
