I would ADORE a woman with those qualities.

Implosion looming. PDP on self-destruct mode!

The former governor and one-time governorship candidate of the defunct CPC in Kano state, is a close friend of the embattled former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki.

So, for the records, I'll remind everyone of the profile of the person indicted. He is a Northerner, a Muslim, a chieftain of APC, and a former CPC member.
---
But I can bet my bottom dollar that enemies of Nigeria are still going to come out with another vile rhetoric. Lemme guess - they are going to focus on the bolded claiming that it's just a smokescreen to get to Dasuki.
---
It is obvious these children of hate are going to stop at nothing to dissuade and undermine Mr President’s anti-corruption war.

@Bevista

Can you see what an economic team does!
She has given expo for Nigerian govt!
What do you say!
I think she withheld some other expo

Yeah. I read through her whole presentation and I must say she said a whole lot about what our economic strategy should be.
---
Unfortunately, it does not appear like we have the right team in place to fully articulate the economic direction of the country. I really hope I'm wrong.

KwoiZabo:
i just have 2 things to say and then move on.

1. president buhari was asked whether he appointed people without corrupt records on his cabinet as promised. instead of answering yes or no. he dodged it by saying "i did not appoint anybody that will embarrass my government".

2. many of us have been applauding zakzaky's arrest and dismissing iran's threats but we know how close russia and iran is. woe betide buhari to ask russia for arms as gej did. i also condemn in strong terms the army's actions, with that, US no go send us again.

Well, you may wish to know that Russia has issued a statement today condemning Iran - calling their actions a "threat to International Peace".

Bookmarked!

Very true!

But this is 2016. We will match them toe-to-toe on social media to expose their evil ploy.

neolboy:
APC will not comment now since he is Baba spokesman. Hypocrite

There is no hypocrisy here, son. Obaigbena said that N50m was given to NGE, but the media twisted that to mean that N50m was given to Adesina.
---
It is the place of the Guild to respond, except their explanation shows that the funds was meant for questionable purposes or it can be proven that Femi (as president) pocketed the funds personally.

Temotala:
Look, whatever your opinion about TB Joshua may be, you can't deny that when he speaks, people should sit up and listen. TBJ has consistently prophesied, albeit often in parables, about events both nationally and internationally which have later confirmed to be true. Remember, he is giving these prophecies LIVE on a television station that is viewed by literally millions. Give the guy some credit - there's definitely a connection to the supernatural...

So, if the actions of North Korea lead to a war, then TBJ becomes a hit with his prophecy. But if there is no reprisal and no war ensues, nobody talks about the prophesy anymore and we all move on to the next prediction.
---
My point, exactly, is that if we were to document every single prophesy made by MOG, those prophesies would probably have only a 20% success rate.

A law enforcement source in Abuja told
SaharaReporters that Nigerian officials had
received a tipoff that Mr. Metuh intended to
wind his way from Dubai to the Caribbean
island nation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Precisely why I want the DSS and NIS to keep tabs on FFK. As the medical rhetoric is no more working, they may resort to escape travels.
---
@ the bolded. Why are they running to tiny Island nations? Because they know we don't have bilateral agreements that we can leverage to extradite them. First, it was Dieziani to Dominican Republic, now Metuh to St. Kitts.
---
Akpabio used to invite the Vice President of that country to his annual Christmas carols every year, so nothing is beyond this PDP criminals.

modath:
Bevista, a great person is a great person, irrespective of political affiliation, Donald Duke till date still has people singing his praises Dankwanbo would not have returned if he hadn't sown good seeds...

Tanko Almakura almost ran a woman into the ditch, then had the effontery to intimidate & harass her as well, is he not a progressive governor


My cuz lives in calabar & has only good things to say about this guv, said he hasn't done much but he is showing great promise...

This is another reason to like him...

Agreed perfectly. Being a Progressive has nothing to do with political party, it is about the way of thinking and acting. I would definitely take Ayade & Donald Duke anytime over some riff raff APC governors.
---
That is why I never said he has APC blood - but rather Progressives blood - flowing in his veins.

This man has Progressives blood running in his veins.

jaybee3:
Don't you people reason for crying out loud?

Let's assume for a second that it's actually fun and self amusing to be pulling out conjectures from your anus, Slowly but surely that butt will get blown someday, no?

#Next abeg!

That was very funny.

kasay:
This is the most intelligent comment I have ever read on Nairaland.

Brother, your are a rare gem.

My Respect!!!

Gratias! Much respect too.

Femi Aribisala should just stick to political analysis and just leave economic analysis alone. I could pick enough holes in most of what he wrote there but that would just take another long epistle, so I'll pass.

Scottish things.

Did we all suddenly realize how bad corruption is. So, if Buhari cannot probe from 1914, he should now probe every household.
---
Why can't you guys get your members to collate evidence and petition the EFCC. You lot can pay lawyers and take people to court - you have locus standi. Leave Baba alone to focus his small energy on squeezing the big 'goats' to vomit our 'yams'.

TonyeBarcanista:
Which assignment? Why are they always calling Goodluck? Can't they defend themselves?

These PDP Chieftains are disgrace. They are trying so hard to drag GEJ into the mud with their indictment(not saying GEJ is clean). They should leave GEJ alone and face their troubles.

Anyway. That was how Dasuki started until he changed music to #confession.

EFCC, Do your work!

Apparently, they all think that if they can bring GEJ into the picture, then they may get soft-landing as PMB may not want to embarrass the former president.
---
But in fairness to them, why should they be the ones taking the fall, when GEJ was the primary beneficiary of the looting. Most of the funds were disbursed for Jonathan's election campaigns so I guess it is only fair for him to man up and take responsibility. This dudes have probably vowed not to go down alone.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has demanded the immediate release of the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, who was Tuesday morning arrested and detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

So it was an arrest afterall. I thought the party said in an earlier statement that it was a "Friendly Invite".
---
The different dimensions of PDP wailing will never cease to amaze me. They threaten, they blackmail, they insult, they accuse Baba of tyranny and dictatorship - all in a bid to deflect from the reality of prosecution. Now, they are accusing Baba of attempting to poison Metuh.
---
Are they not aware that Metuh is more useful to Baba alive. How will we recover our N1.4bn if Metuh is dead?

erico2k2:
Y not go and see 4 yourself the refinaries and see the lies you are being fed. I wonder howlong they will lie

But if the story was about the refineries being grounded,you wouldn't care about physical inspection, you would simply believe the report.

“The CBN ought to have blown the whistle, and filed reports with the appropriate anticorruption agencies or other authorities..."

This is correct, but Jonathan had effectively tied Emefiele's hands using the Sanusi experience as a reference.
---
It is God-sent that we now have a president that extols probity and accountability.
---
Having said that, everyone culpable should be thoroughly investigated. They knew the risks.

Is this the same Buhari that they said on AIT during the presidential campaigns that he was "good for nothing"?
---
If it was GEJ, I would have been worried that this cheap gimmick would work. But Baba no dey look face and he no dey quick forgive. Nice try son, but your Papa must dance to the music he played.

Citizens Power!
---
We need to continue demanding accountability from this government and any future government. It is commendable that the administration, atleast, gives a damn about MAJORITY public opinion.

AyoolaIgwe:
to wot extent has ur life improved on d basis of correcting "auto-errors?" I'M NOT UR MATCH ANYWAY. And if u are sure of the sincerity of dis so-called anti-corruption campaign, then "bring it on"...make I rubbish ur ignorance.
Answer d posers I raised first if u are ready for a talk.

And why would I want to join issues with someone clearly superior than I am. Don't worry pal, you win!

Boyooosa:
Thank you my Brother, Your First Son will hijack your Brain!
Infact u av given me another strenght in my arguments tonite @Abari Drinking corner, U can join me, it is toll free bt u pay for ur beer!

Much respect man!

Good development. Shockingly, some people will still hate on this news. They'd rather things continue to get worse just so they can throw juvenile tantrums at the president.

Economic Sabotage is far worse than Armed Robbery.

Ms Lagarde said that the IMF will be willing to assist the Federal Government in plugging revenue leakages, tracing stolen funds and restructuring its tax system.

She did not say anything about the loan. Apparently, Baba clearly rejected their ridiculous conditionalities and Austerity rhetoric.

AyoolaIgwe:
>>To wot extent doz ur write-up which I tagg, "Beautiful Nonsense" explain d plausibility of Buhari's disregard for court orders?
>>How do u explain dat Buhari has allowed his personal sentiment & emotions override his duty of upholding d dictates of the constitution.
>>How doz dis thing u wrote absorb Buhari of his lack of economic dexterity which he displayed for the umpteenth tym in his 1st presidential media chat where he displayed his lack of understanding of d concept of DEVALUATION(its pros&cons).
>>How are we sure dat there is no skeleton in d cupboard of Buhari (as u opined) when d breakdown of d "Budget of Indebtedness" shows dat Buhari's govt will be spending more money in d villa dan GEJ spent, given dat Buhari says d govt is broke?
>>>Can u briefly tell us d economic blueprint of this administration (If u know it).

I won't join issues with you as regards the "beautiful nonsense" banter. But next time, it is ABSOLVE and not ABSORB.

baralatie:
If you have an internal economy and not leakages of payments on importation of petroleum payments,cars,rice,poultry,fish etc

Cutting spending during recession will simply deepen the recession.
---
If government cuts spending, the real economy will suffer. Many industries that depend on government spending will go under. There will massive retrenchments. Corporate profits will drop, government tax will drop, the stock market will crash (burning people's wealth), etc.
---
Government will need to decouple the private sector from government spending before trying any spending cuts.

baralatie:
I believe you are an IMF specialist because devaluation is a main call you have been making!

I clearly support devaluation, but obviously the president is against it. I just do not support other IMF conditionalities.
