PoliticsRe: Atiku’s Spokesman Daniel Bwala Meets President Tinubu In Paris (Picture) by Badgers14: 7:38am On Jan 30, 2024
Nigeria is a funny country... we endured Bubu that was frequently out of the country for 8 years and elected another president that is frequently out of the country for medical reasons..

What happened to our "top class " medical institution they built for us in Nigeria?

I remember, what an elderly man told me, during my NYSC in Cross River. he said, cure for every disease available around us. Especially herbs, roots, fruits, barks, insects etc. But knowing the right combination or application is the problem.
But the bigger problem is "big pharma".

Drugs they sell for millions of dollars in profit and you want to cure the ailment with banana leaves??

They will do whatever is in their power to frustrate that effort..

Why can't the security agencies utilize the available resources to track down this criminals??

This criminals will empty the wife's account and the police still can't track them down..

Even with all the NIN registration, linking bank accounts to NIN, the police still will find it hard to pick up the person that owns the account that received that money and follow the leads to lead them to the culprits..

When are we going to get things right in this country??

PoliticsRe: FG Lines Up 140 Officials To Assess Tinubu's Ministers by Badgers14: 9:58am On Jan 27, 2024
Agboriotejoye:
1. Minister for Petroleum should go for missing the PH refinery deadline and also for Dangote refinery yet to come on stream by end of January.

2. Minister of FCT should go for overheating the polity and playing crude politics while Abuja was being ravaged by kidnappers

3. Minister of Sports should go for demoralising the eagles by claiming the president is not impressed by the fact that they qualified out of the group.

4. Minister of Finance should go for his mismanagement of our fiscal policies. The budget deficit has widened and the supplementary budget was badly implemented. Also, his claim of "No More Loan" has turned out to be a lie with another $1.9bn reportedly being sourced after $800m and $3.3bn in less than a year. At this rate, Buhari will look like shylock compared to prodigal Tinubu.

5. Minister of Power for experiencing grid collapses 3 times since this administration took office. The former Minister managed to stem that tide till this dude arrived.

6. Minister for Defence. I don't think much needs to be said here. Kaduna bomb blast and Plateau attacks need no introduction.

7. Minister for Mines for the Ibadan explosion. No illegal miners. Just weak regulations which led to loss of lives and propertiesin the heart of a major city.

8. Minister for Aviation for Abuja Airport escalator not working for 3 months while he's busy doing social media owambes

9. Ministers for Creative Arts, Transport, Marine and Blue Economy, Steel. What are they doing anyway?

Feel free to add yours
Infact , everyone should go..

Let them share the 2024 budget to us Nigerians so we can sort ourselves out.. the suffering is too much

BusinessRe: Kingsley Moghalu Reveals The Problem With The Naira by Badgers14: 10:14am On Jan 26, 2024
We know what is right in thus country but won't do it....

Saudi Arabia have billions of oil reserve more than Nigeria but in the past 10 years, they have been aggressively diversifying thier portfolio and investments to avoid total reliance on oil.

In addition to this , the Nigerian government does turn blind eyes where there's an obvious room for improvement like the over reliance of dollar.

Yesterday We heard from former deputy governor of Kano state that BDC is unregulated sector, CBN doesn't know what is going on there.. they pick up money from the government house with bullion vans in broad day light..

When one go to pay their kids school fees or their supplier abroad.. they bank says they don't have dollar and give them BDC agent to contact to buy the dollar..

The customer comes back to the bank to deposit the dollar purchased from BDC .. then the bank turns around to sell the dollar to the BDC and the circle continues..

Why can't customers just walk into their bank and initiate the wire transfer? Their bank withdraw the money from their account in naira and transfer abroad at an official rate?

It is not like the bank will pack up the cash and travel to China to deposit the money in bank of China, the transaction is done electronically.

So why then do customers need to go to BDC to buy dollar to deposit for the transactionhuh

Abachas loot, what did the government do with the money?

Had they targeted that the Abachas loot would be used to enhance the power sector and national grid to make sure the country has sustainable 24hr powers supplier that would inturn decrease the cost of doing business and create more employment..
But no, they listed big big name white elephant project for the money all to reloot the loot..

Inflation does not fall just by releasing media statements..

Action, Action... what are they doing to bolster the economy??

Why the overdependecy in "dollar"?

I still can't understand why when someone need to pay their supplier in China, their children 's school fees or medical bills abroad.. they have to go to BDC to "buy" dollar and then come and deposit the dollar in a bank to effect the transfer?

It's not like the bank will carry the money cash to deposit to bank of England or bank of China or bank of India.. the transaction is run electronically so why can't individuals just go to their bank and conduct a Wire transfer at an official rate.. their bank deducts the money in naira from their account and wire the money to the intended recipients abroad??

thats how the senators of your own state are meddeling with the affairs of the state abi?.thats how yayi was disturbing lagos affairs when he was in lagos.how many other senators did u see calling out their governors,abi them no get constituents?.when you apply too much sense on trivial issues,thats how you sound.a minister is not answerable to a senator mr man.
The problem with us Nigerians is just showcased in your comment.


I offered my own opinion, you could agree or disagree with me rather you start going off point..

When a senator and a minister work together for the common good of their community.. that does not mean the minister is answerable to the senator.

This is one of the many problems we have in thus country.. everyone is the boss, everyone wants to be oga.. no one wants to work with the other party to Forster development... do you know who I am...

When people work together as a team, they both achieve greatness.

Lanretoye:
must you dignify them with response,how can someone reason that a minister should be answerable to a senator when he was appointed by a president.so before wike executes a project he should inform the senator?.
Most people commenting doesnot even know the responsibilities of a senator,pass bill she no pass,na administration of the FCT she wan dey poke nose.even though it is her oversight function,she cannot query a minister unless it is called by a committee in the senate.
All Arms of government should work together to Forster development in their respective communities.

FCT is still the constituents of the senator and there's nothing wrong that the senator of the FCT and the minister of FCT were reasoning on ways to better the life's of their community.

All Wike is saying here the typical mentality of some people.. "how dare you".. " do you know who I am"..

He should have honored the invitation at first and have a casual discussion with the senator even if it is just a congratulatory visit.

That's how you build relationships.

Let's remember, respect is reciprocal!!!

We need a working policy.. good security measures..

Law enforcement doing their jobs.. court system doing their job.. take off tribalism and such in national issues let's tackle the issues affecting this country as one nation.

PoliticsRe: Wike Gets Tinubu's Approval To Purchase Device To Track Kidnappers by Badgers14: 8:16am On Jan 23, 2024
I am not against procurement of any equipment that could help eliminate kidnapping so let it not be like ehn i don't support fight against kidnapping...

But truth be told, no new equipment is needed.. all security agencies need is to work with mobile phone companies to track the cell phones of the kidnappers and their victims to ascertain the locations..

Some of this kidnappers receive their Ransom via bank transfer or force their victims to empty their account to their (kidnappers) account.

With all the NIN bla bla bla.. can't they work with banks , the court system , mobile phone operators pings of the victims and kidnappers cellphones. And banks to obtain details of the accounts that were receiving the Ransome or clearing out victims account..??

Not difficult thing to do.

Imagine kidnappers making phone calls and demanding bank transfer and security agencies re trying to "procure" equipment to track them??

They just seen another avenue to embezzle money , same thing they did with Chibok girls..

Shame on them politicians, shame on the kidnappers

Are you aware that some of the judges who declared Peter Obi as Governor of Anambra were drawn from the Court of coordinate jurisdiction (FHC)?
It was created to free you from tyrannical state governments and then allow you sue the FG and Federal institutions.

The court is not your houseboy. It must not always dance to your tune.
I could care less where the judges that declared Peter Obi governor came from.

What matters is the constitutional issue at hand not where the judges came from.


I am really not understanding your opinion as pertaining to the rivers state issue.

I get it maybe one need to sue FG in federal high court in FCT but while would a case be tried in federal high court in FCT while there's is a federal high court in Rivers State.

I could understand if 2 states are at logger head say Rivers and Bayelsa are having issues or dispute and a case is filed in federal high court in Abuja.

Moreover, federal government appoint federal judges and not state government so I don't understand how this was supposed to relieve people from tyrannical state government??

How many great Goalkeepers will not suffer with Man United's useless defense?!!

Before you crucify a keeper, you should first assess the defenders standing between him and strikers.

That was why I actually laughed when DeGea was termed worse than Alisson and Ederson... Like wtf?!! cheesy
Frankly, I do not rate Ederson that high of a keeper..

He is just another Victor Valdes.

Every goalkeeper commits blunders... Maybe you should research the first 2 seasons of DDG in Man United under Ferguson.

Casilas committed several in his first senior start for Madrid.

Some Keepers are just lucky to be with exceptional players who attack and defend well.

Bravo was less than average in Barcelona, but you wouldn't know due to the quality of attacking football they played which kept most opponents defending against Barcelona in almost all encounters.
Exactly my point..

Many great goal keepers have had there shares of embarrassing moments..

Van Der Sar at Juventus was just a basket until Ferguson rescued his career and brought him to manutd.

Even at France 98, Van Der Sar was just average for Holland.

Even Buffon at Juventus.. a superstar nonetheless but look at guys in front of him both at club and country but still he did let in quite a bit of easy catches.

Recall Kepa at Chelsea .. whom according to Lampard 3 shot on target = 3 goals which was true and he benched him for Mendy..

Now look at Kepa and Real Madrid , a better version of Kepa at Chelsea.

Victor Valdes at Barcelona was same.. less work to do, won many championship..

Sometimes we are just too hard on our own and don't promote our people, not without criticism though but sometimes, I just think it is too much.
