Politics / Re: 49 House Members Decamp To APC by ballabriggs: 12:03pm On Nov 27, 2013 |
I no like this one O. Why not leave these people and President Jonadunce in PDP so they can destroy themselves. Why bring them into APC to pollute the environment. So Oyinlola is now a member of APC? Ovoko!!! Well that being said, President Jonadunce must be kicked out in 2015 for his lack of sophistication. That he has aides that refer with hate to a group of people as "parasites" shows he is a m0r0n. My only pity is for these lapdogs who will become unemployed as soon as he is kicked out. Taharq maybe lucky and gets re-employed as a houseboy in Benin. That fake doctor will go back to doing abortion for ESUTH babes. Omokri will go back to his yahoo yahoo work. Oronto will go back to his "belle-activism". Ovoko! Ovoko!! Ovoko!!! 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Rivers Got N257.6bn From Federation Account Not 56.2, Says Okonjo by ballabriggs: 10:24am On Nov 26, 2013 |
t-something: That "demand fell" is an artificial creation of rogues. Against all advise, they still sell using their cronies as middle-men. As we can see from the various reports of theft in Nigeria's oil trade. The summary of everything is that the nations assets and treasury are in the hands of rogues. NNPC sells crude of $20 billion, we see only $7 billion. That demand fell is not the issue. If demand falls then the price of crude would have dropped badly to less than $80 per barrel. That the price is still over $108 shows there is still a good demand for output. Why is ours different? Simple, ours is in the hands of rogues. |

Abagworo: There's a major difference between federation account and excess crude. The federation account is accruable to States willy nilly and has nothing to do with excess crude that has to be an extra income to the States. So if Rivers receives 1trillion from federation account it has nothing to do with the 5billion stolen by the FG. You get the issue. She is just all over the place without responding to Amaechi's questions. Firstly, who agreed and authorised withdrawal of billions of dollars from the ECA, she has not told us. At least we know of the meeting where $1 billion deduction from ECA was agreed after boxing the states into a tight corner. What happened to the rest? Why are we drawing from savings when oil prices are over $108 per barrel. Is this rogue government telling me it is losing 600,000 barrels per day in oil output? Then the government should not exist. It is as good as useless. |

t-something: No! Production has not fallen by 50% and so I will not take your example. Fall in production is still about 10% and so this government should be able to function and not criminally draw from savings. |

taharqa: Close your mouth you liar. Is this rubbish an attempt to justify theft by those you so much adore. The lowest oil output of oil has gone this year is 2.1 million barrels per day as reported by the NBS and not the 1.8 million as reported by a dubious human. Now let me even take it that your 1.8 million is true. So a government is losing over 700,000 barrels per day? Then that government should not be existing. It is worse than a dead government. There is thus no reason why the ECA should be going down at a very fast rate if not for theft all round. Even at the heat of the Niger Delta crisis with low production, we were still able to save and fulfill our obligations to our lenders. Today a rogue regime tells us it is handicap about the theft in the Niger Delta. Today a rogue regime tells us we have to draw from savings from earlier years to cover their theft. |

And so what? Is this an attempt to justify the theft and total mismanagement of the treasury. What he received is the statutory allocation for Rivers which is even less than what should be as the federal government has been shortchanging these states. You are not doing Rivers any favour by giving it its statutory allocation. Amaechi's argument is simple for those who can discern. That oil prices today are over 50% of budgeted means there is no need to draw from the savings from earlier years. The whole essence of the ECA is to augment shortfalls in periods of low oil prices. Today London Brent is at about $108 per barrel while we budgeted about $79 per barrel. Given this difference, the ECA should be growing and not on the downward. Where has all the money gone? This government is not able to implement budgets satisfactorily. This means a lot of funds not used should also have been saved. But what we have is the treasury being depleted by a rogue regime. Ngozi has not answered his questions. She is just throwing figures around to hoodwink those who cannot discern. 1 Like |

Ehm ahem, no be only friendship. 70% of the girls in this world today will go with that fat man Rick Ross. Fact! Not because of his money but the power and authority he commands. Girls like these things and he does not even need to spend any money on them. Ignoring someone could potentially make one appear like he has a level of power or authority.

Ignoring someone or acting disinterested after showing initial interest works like hell. It is psychological and can be applied in a lot of things we do including relationships. Asking a girl out is like negotiating for an asset and business managers do apply the 'disinterested' bargaining strategy. You also do it when you go to the market to negotiate goods or services. Lypentra is right. However, don't stretch it too much or it may backfire. Know when to relax it a bit. |

Lord Varys: Bla bla Nigeria had the highest amount of FDI in sub-saharan Africa. What level of significance is the issue. A good percentage of the FDIs to Nigeria last year were actually PFIs and not FDIs. FDI inflows and outflows to Nigerian have not had much significance on growth and there are studies to support this. These studies have also made recommendations on reforms to attract growth FDIs. These leaders only need to implement these recommendations rather than these empty trips that lead to no where. 1 Like |

Another empty junket in the name of searching for investors. MNCs are not daft. They have a risk profile which they seek to match with host country risk. Nigeria remains a high risk country that does not match the profile of most of these MNCs. Granted you may see one or two with less than significant impact on growth. However, what we know is that MNCs have a 'herding' behaviour such that they move en masse to host countries as can be seen in the experience of South East Asia. Solution is genuine reforms and not these empty trips in the name of searching for investors. 2 Likes |
Politics / Re: Okonjo-iweala Slams Punch Newspaper Over ‘malicious, Defamatory’ Editorial! by ballabriggs: 1:23pm On Nov 22, 2013 |
taharqa: No, OLODO. Get the Punch Editorial and read. The ONLY real accusation Punch made in respect of this new Sector-wide Waiver System was actuali the #603billion Revenue lost due to the policy. The Editorial DID NOT MENTION A SINGLE CASE OF CORRUPTION OR ABUSE RELATING TO THIS NEW SYSTEM. Let me repeat: Punch did not mention A SINGLE case of corruption associated with this new System. Go and read d article again, if you hv actuali even read it, that is. The Cases or Examples of Abuses Punch gave in the Editorial were solely those from 2003-2011 ie BEFORE this new System was introduced by NOI!! How d helll do you criticize a particular System by rehearsing Examples of d abuses of d previous System, esp when the whole purpose of d new System (the very reason we all shouted at d Govt to introduce it) was to eliminate, or rather reduce, d Incidences of the Abuses of d Previous System?? How the hell does that happen if it was not a deliberately attempt to mix up stuffs in order to hookwick d many gullible people that unfortunately abode in today's Nigeria? What is it if not a Piece of Propaganda; an Hacket job to sway Weak minds?? The Editorial even went afar as giving Examples of Abuses in d EEG Scheme; a Scheme that is very diff from the new Waiver Scheme they were suppossedly criticizing! And what is worst, d Examples given were also pre-2012. Punch also conveniently 'forgot' to mention that this same EEG that has been abused all along for years was even recently suspended by this same Govt in order to try to 'clean it up', yet Punch used Examples that happened years ago under the scheme to criticize a new, diff Scheme!! Does that seem fair to you? Do you chaps even hv Consciences any more?? And to think that d Sector-based Waiver Policy has even started yielding positive results: Nigeria's Non-Oil Export for the 1st 3months of this year was almost $3billion (over #300billion), which is almost same amount d country exported for the entire year sm few years ago; similarly, Nigeria's Import bill last year reduced by over #800billion!! Sectors such as Power, Aviation, Cassava, Cement, Oil palm/Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Rice, Mining, Telecoms, sm Manufacturing, are particularly benefiting from it already. Of course, Punch also conveniently left that out..... I HATE HYPOCRISY with every thing I got. And Lies; and Halftruths; and Distortions; and utter Desperation. In fact, I spiit on yaall. Ya Guts DISGUST me. I can't even properly convey how I reali feel at times at the Shenanigans of it all. I doubt your level of intelligence. Punch has based its argument on the submission of the Comp Gen of Customs to the house in September. The man has stated that the country's treasury has lost billions of naira in revenue. That is enough for any individual to raise alarm. Secondly, whether it is sector wide or on an individual basis is not the issue. The issue here is the abuse in the system. In the early 2000s mobile telephone service providers were granted import waivers for their equipments. That did not stop them from abusing the regime as there were cases of goods not covered by the waiver being smuggled. We have seen same with Coscharis who fraudulently included and imported vehicles not covered by waiver duty and tax free. That did not happen in 2009 as it happened recently. Thirdly, please save your propaganda of how import bills are reducing, how exports are growing bla bla bla. I am a monetarist and I only need to see the actions of the CBN to know those figures are false and cheap propaganda. This year alone, it has consistently held on to a tighter monetary policy to save the reserves. It is devaluing the naira whilst putting in place thighter exchange controls. That is not a country reducing its import bills and growing exports. Such lies will only come from deluded humans like you. Finally next time you write, use paragraphs and give spaces. You have written like one who is not mentally stable. 1 Like |

taharqa: In fact, she pointed out that d temporary Revenue lost was necessary in order to protect local industries and ensure long term Industrial development in-country. She specifically reminded us that EVERY damn country that ever developed went tru this same path we are going tru today. So still asking me if I thought there were no Revenue lost cos of d policy, is simply Sillly...... Another Sillly question was whether I thought there was no corruption in the new System. I'm sure you have a brain, so use it. Did Punch argue with you diddums that waivers are not economic tools? No, what Punch argues is the abuse that characterises the waiver regime in Nigeria as it has been used to evade revenue due to the treasury. That is the crux of Punch's argument. That Okonjo and this her foolish media aide ignored the argument that the waiver regime has been abused and is still being abused to the detriment of the treasury says a lot about them. They did not address that bit in their argument. He foolishly went on to list the advantages of waivers. Who cares about these advantages when it is being abused. 1 Like |
