₦airaland Forum

I think we are missing the point by going down the usual ethnic bashing route. In my opinion, it is dangerous for any region of Nigeria not to have federal representation. The danger I am talking about will affect the region most, because in a year or two (especially toward 2015) is when the real problems of bullying and relegation will begin; it looks like a joke today, but there will be no smiling then. Perhaps, it is already too late and we can only spectate.

manny4life:
The real question is what is GEJ doing about it? How will Mr. President reform fiscal and economical policies? We have a long way to go unless our dear president addresses these issues. Nigeria is gradually sliding down the path of POVERTY unless a drastic action is taken

I don't think our fiscal policy is the problem (it is a problem). It is more of our production base, it is in such wretched state that it looks almost impossible to tackle. Nigeria is more like a dump than a functioning country and it will take gargantuan effort to cure the various industrial, economic, educational and power generation / fuel supply constraints facing the country.

The above regardless, IMHO the FG is taking tentative steps in the right direction by first of all sanitizing the petroleum sector (the steps taken toward that so far, are a full thread on their own). Before the current govt, our mode of selling oil was as follows:

[list]
[li]Shell (or similar) would drill oil[/li]
[li]Govt would go to Shell to ask how much oil they drilled[/li]
[li]Shell would give any figure and pay off officials with hard cash or bunkering deals[/li]
[li]At the shipping points, there were no meters to measure how much oil was being pumped into tankers[/li]
[/list]

All of that has now changed, and the remaining leaches are in the fuel subsidy cycle. They will soon be gone too.

So, bruv a lot has been done in that area although its been all done quietly (there's little choice when mega powers are being dealt with).

As for improving our production base and diversifying the economy, please view my last post before this (not the best summary, but it points out where things are going). Aside from that the current govt believes in empowering the private sector, it is in this area I believe they have lagged and a bit more can be done.

4 Play:
The Naira is falling because Nigeria's main source of foreign currency is oil exports and the price of crude has been falling. Further, there has been a 'flight to safety' in the financial markets,i.e, investors buy up ''safer'' assets such as the dollar and US Treasuries in response to fears over a global slowdown. You will notice that the dollar has strengthened against the UK pounds sterling, the Euro and pretty much every other currency in the world.

We clearly need to diversify our economy and our export base so that we are not hostage to the price of crude oil. There doesn't seem to be any long term economic plan by GEJ to address this issue.

The "Gas Revolution" is chugging along, it is meant to move us away from oil well renting to utilizing our abundant gas deposits for chemical, agricultural and energy industries. I don't like the term, Gas Revolution (I prefer understatement), but in many ways thats precisely what it is, a revolution compared to our current abysmal state.

^^^^

you are a fool - who appointed the CBN governor?

so jonathan has no control over nigeria's monetary policy - is that what you are trying to tell me ?

you are a fool

To your conspiracy theory addled mind GEJ picked Sanusi, not so? Bros, na drugs you de take? Lol!
Like I said, go and read the CBN Act, it is very easy and by far the better alternative to talking foolishly here. The CBN is 100% independent.

Bruv, why don't you stick to counting birds on the Moon and your other madmans conspiracy stuff?

With the present set up of the Nigerian system, it is foolhardy not to have a voice at the centre. GEJ has fought hard to rectify the dangerous situation, but things are the way they are.
This is just the first year of being outside the Nigerian system and it already looks dire, because there will be loud discussions from any marginalised section, but zero traction; its powerlessness and powerlessness always becomes increasingly dangerous. The current situation is only bound to intensify when Tinubu's long stretched out, multiple trials begin in earnest.

It is the truth, my brother.

cap28:
will you shut your damn deluded mouth, is your mentally deficient "brain" too tiny to deduce that "Dr" Goodluck Jonathan is at the helm of affairs and has the final say with regard to all things concerning the economy of nigeria?

You are daft. Go and read the CBN act and you will find that it is basically 100% independent, its simple to educate yourself.

I think you should solely concern yourself with your conspiracy mad theories and counting tree's on the Moon. Matters for the sane are beyond you.

At least someone is getting to see beyond the falcities that many post on NL to promote Fashola and ACN.
The funny thing is that most of those posting pics are abroad, so they simply walk up to something in Europe or the US and post it as plans for what is being built. But its all lies. Its good you have seen with your own eyes, go around with your camera and take a lot of pics of threalities you've seen as against the pics on NL.

You can continue with your toddler posts, they make you look every bit the simpleton you are. Shame.
You never ever make any input to matters on NL, its always one display of childish stup!dity or the other.

olas2u:
What you have stated below is not news and we all know why we dont produce, CBN is part   of the Nigerian Government.Please dont mis inform people,over sabi

Where exactly did I misinform anybody? And if you already know what I said to be true, how can you then turn around and claim to have been misinformed?
Dude, what you and the other vultures here are doing are telling bare-faced lies and you know it.

Cowards operate in packs, so keep it up.

@OP
The best way to make your state known is to keep telling people about it, not hiding behind Kano. Here on NL, there have been many threads praising Sule Lamido, so its not as bad as it is out there on the streets. You can also post threads about your state, maybe about its culture and history (personal religion and politics will be a no-no on NL).

@topic
For the most unknown states, everyone seems to forget Zamfara! It should be:

Yobe
Zamfara
Kebbi
Gombe
Nasarawa

"The other half are people who just wish to air their ill-breeding by hauling insults at the President."

[size=14pt]Half of the people posting here do not understand the simple fact that as Nigeria cannot produce simple toothpicks and sells nothing but oil, the value of our currency will swing with the oil price if left alone.
In the past, the CBN has always fixed the Naira artificially to the dollar; if the Naira falls this time therefore, it is 100% due to Sanusi and the CBN.

The other half are people who just wish to air their ill-breeding by hauling insults at the President.[/size]

igboitalo: The greatest error in Nigerian history was making the central bank totally independent. Something has to be done to restore sanity.

Without reservation, every last one of the above posters is an !mbecile that cannot tackle the simplest intellectual issue. That is why they attempt to personalise matters, it is the way of fools and agbero's.

El-Rufai thought he would become a minister, but when GEJ thought otherwise, di man come begin vex wella!
since then, it has been story upon story from El-Rufai.

Typical jumping from side-to-side. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that YOU don't qualify as a reference for the truth of what you say.

"I don't work for GEJ" is another of your lies.

You can call me whatever you like, it is your silly opinion to hold. Just desist from telling disgusting lies and acting like you were slapped severally with the bosom as baby.

Hmmmm! I can see you are welded firmly to your railroad. The tracks lead nowhere, bro! And there be nuffink in the shadows either.

Those are not what am asking for. . .just like Jay Z naming a song FREEMASON. When you go through the lyrics of the song, you discover that he was actually denying anything that has to do with them. But, then those are the ways of attaining fame i.e by delibrate rebellion. He painstakingly tried to distance himself from them.

Ofcourse, i know about redirecting a site to another,but the big picture here is the subconscious massage is entirely different. The explanations are beyond a mere joke. So who is paying for yearly domain name subscription? I owned a site which i pay 20K annual subscription else the site wont be accessible. Why do they(NSA) allow such to be going on, knowing the implication of "flying rumour"?

The reality of all that is,illuminati is real and the whole world is by their grip. I believe in conspiracy when it became glaring.[/quote]I have domain names that I am not using, in fact some are even effectively lost, because I've basically forgotten they exist. I am sure there are a lot of people who are the same. The guy in question too can easily afford it, he is a techie who works in robotics and has taken part in DARPA races (where driverless cars race through the raw desert for about a 100 kilometres); he certainly can afford to keep any number of domain names he likes.

As for NSA allowing such, in fact it makes them very happy. The more people talk about the power and World dominance of illuminati (even though its not working with China), the more they can use it as cover to hide real stuff. It is just like the UFO thing, they help all sorts of cranks publish their stuff so that nobody will believe that certain advanced craft exist. Its all high IQ.

koruji:
You are an unrepentant irritant. You are the liar. I was providing a contrast if you don't get it.

Since you are ALWAYS ready to turn everything good or bad into VERY DISHONEST AND DISGUSTING CRITICISM, honest critics would not border since: 1) Such criticism would be lumped with those of loud-mouths like you; 2) Loud-mouths like you would twist it in a second to mean what it does not mean.

Basically, in your attempt to hide GEJ behind one finger, as if anyone is using hooks to draw the kind of unserious statements that daily come out of his mouth, you have turned everything into a race to the bottom, instead of constructive criticism that leads to incremental improvement.

Those who honestly believed that GEJ could pull Nigeria out of its rut are disgusted right now, not because of his many missteps, but mainly  because he turned himself into a Napoleonic head of Nigeria's Animal farm sending his rabid "Squealers" (aka Beafs of NL) to hail his every step. Holding and fighting personal grudges, to which a real leader would develop thick skin, with all the might of Nigeria's resources - like market women fighting over customers. And to think he started the name calling in the first place.

What you will find is that supporters now hardly offer any criticism of ACN policies - it DOESN'T MEAN THEY NOW LIE. What they will do, however, is call you out on your disgusting lies. Why is that? Because it is necessary to put you "down" so that honest, people improving, criticism can be had.

If you heard any of those other stuff from somebody, talk to them, not me. Knowing you, it is all probably made up in your head. I have read a good number of the relevant threads and have read no such "he is Yoruba" crap. It is not that it is impossible that somebody said those things, but you are more likely to make it up. And if somebody told you to "phuck off" because of your disgusting lie that Aregbe is "borrowing N50 billion to cut grass", I say why not - you really don't deserve better.

Below is an analysis of Squealer so you can have a look in the mirror.

You have just painted a vivid picture of a deer caught in the headlamps. In this case though, the headlamps are of severe prejudice. It makes you a man on a railroad to nowhere who see's imaginary creatures attacking him. Not a good place to be.
How many times have I told you I don't work for GEJ? Yet each time you come back with even stronger nonsense, dude you are as trapped by your set views as a religious bigot is trapped by their dogma. Very unhealthy indeed.

You hate GEJ because of Beaf? My guy, you aren't the baby you make yourself out to be. There must be at least one good tuft of greying hair in your musty arse. [size=14pt]Lighten up, bro! [/size]

It is as if you actually think GEJ is chasing you on NL. . . Scaring you. So you keep looking over your shoulder with crazed fevered eyes, fighting shadows, ducking when nothing has been thrown at you, flying into unfathomable rages and throwing childish tantrums. Its fun to watch, but it is unhealthy; I only feel sorry for you.

. . .Anyways, to round up; ACN governors have turned out to be duds and Aregbesola especially has turned out to be the most useless politician to have ever hit the shores of Nigeria. His uselessness is of extraordinary proportions that cannot be matched.

Onlytruth:
So, ndu_chucks, I think you should head to the National Assembly and pull strings to either ban daggers, or legalize concealed guns.
I am in full support of daggers and guns. 

Else, you would be wasting your time trying to woo me away from my belief that Nigeria makes no damn sense.

Dude, with the way Nigeria is I actually want it to be legal for me to pack a rocket launcher in my boot.

koruji:
GEJ is not even a regular politician - he's worse. More like clueless.

[size=14pt]I am not tied to the apron of any politician[/size]. But your penchance for turning everything, whether right or wrong, into evil makes it difficult for one to ever provide [size=14pt]honest critism [/size]of ACN or PDP for that matter. One has to always stay on one or the other side of the political divide. In reality we should all have one side - the Nigerian people! Politicians are the ones supposed to fall in line.

You got me fooled with that one! Not with the way you've been going overboard to defend that rotten clown, Aregbesola! LOLZZZZZZ!!!!
So I hold a cane to stop you from providing "honest criticism"? Why would you need to lie because of my position in an argument? Thats a strange one, bro.

At the time we were all chasing Ibori, I [b]never [/b]really heard any serious voice crying, "oh, he is Urhobo! Phuck off if you're not from Delta!" That is the way it should be. Yet, the sort of barbaric stuff one hears from you people concerning Aregbesola and Tinubu reads, "oh, he is Yoruba! He is ACN! Phuck off if you're not from SW!" Its a real disgrace, a criminal is a criminal regardless of what cardinal point on the map they hail from.

Shame on you.

Technical KO'd ko Kechnical TO'd ni!!!

We are getting somewhere. Nobody ever said don't hold an opinion. Just stop the disgusting pointed lies. U say Aregbe is a rascal - I say u and GEJ are drunken fishermen. Its called name calling. Don't kill yourself over it or become an insufferable buffoon b/4 the whole world.

If you like paralyse yourself with the anger of defeat, because you people sold duds to yourselves. . . And now, you are shocked and ashamed that your RASCALS have quickly established themselves as duds and political fungi. They are as useless as the regular politician, the sugar coating has dropped off to reveal some truly fugly mongrels indeed. . . 50billa to cut grass, kill mosquito's and chase errant goats around town!!! Na wa!

Kill yourself with anger, bro! Abeg, the matter is too funny!

This thread is just more "Earth is flat" conspiracy crap.
If you want to really stare into the crazed eyes of madness, click on this link, then proceed to Yaba left: http://theflatearthsociety.org/cms/
Yeah, they argue vehemently in this day and age that the Earth is flat:

The modern age of the Flat Earth Society dates back to the early 1800s, when it was founded by Samuel Birley Rowbotham, an English inventor. Samuel Rowbotham's Flat Earth views were based largely on literal interpretation of Bible passages. His system, called Zetetic Astronomy, held that the earth is a flat disk centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth. After Rowbotham's death in 1884, followers of his Zetetic Astronomy founded the Universal Zetetic Society.

This is just an advice to those concern, they may not have another warning before it happens. I just left a serious meeting concerning this issue. You people spend too much time on line that you don't know what is happening. If you think there will be no war in Nigeria then you will receive the greatest shock of your life when the guns start barking.

My guy, there are meetings going on all over the place. Some good, some bad.
The meetings you should be attending are the ones for the actualisation on Niger Delta Republic, not the ones about bullying aboki's that our guests and who we owe a duty of hospitality.
If the time ever comes to pick up weapons to free our lands, then by all means lets do it, but in the meantime leave aboki in Warri, pilele, Ughelli etc. They are just shoe makers and other poor people.

There you go, doing round about poo. If the FG knows that they cannot support the human traffic, then their robots should stay out of SG business. ANd if the FG oyel warriors want to control the oyel, push and create fiscal federalism. I wonder why the hesitation. Please expressly make it happen. I have denounced your claim that Lagos will collapse. But you are here trying to spin the crap again. The fact remains that as Lagos is part of Nigeria, it will bear the burden. It is up to the FG to reduce that burden by creating opportunities across the board for their citizens and stop making them live like animals. If people are doing all of this to survive then i wonder the impact of this oyel money you are screaming. Even vocal slender one of your brothers was living in a dump in Lagos to survive.  He left the heavenly delta, with oil money flowing on the ground to come and live like a criminal in Lagos. Searching trash to survive .A delta boy, but oyel money no touch im tongue. So Mr. Elepo. just disappear and keep quiet when SG's are making do with the resources at their disposal. Like i said, it is late, good night. Singing out, 2mch.

Dude, it is up to your state to create jobs. The FG simply doles out money and helps where it can. Ask your governor to create jobs instead of planting non-functional flowers.
The FG isn't there to feed you and clean your arse.

You can dance from here to Ijebu or Lokoja trying to derail the topic, it doesn't change a thing that your state is not upholding the fundamental human rights of its residents by making the poor homeless. That is something to be very ashamed of.
