LordAdam:
Abeg, do not call those politicians.

Soludo's only major achievement under OBJ was market recapitalization. He is a corporate ass-licker like Emefiele. And now a politician, we cannot have a politician there who will be doing APC versus PDP with critical monetary policies. His recent utterances prove he will use the position to score cheap political points.

Madam BBOG is another technocrat cum politician. If you read her recent tweet criticizing Emefiele, you will marvel at the level of ignorance she displayed, comparing Nigeria to Russia. She can manage ministry of women affairs not a critical ministry like finance. She will play politics with it.

PMB needs to bring technocrats with very little exposure in the political scenery, preferably with western financial education and experience to hold these lofty positions. Nigeria is the 21st largest economy in the world right now out of 190 countries. We cannot be playing politics or doing hit and miss with our economy. I know we have many of them, (our population is around 170 million, ninth largest in the world, so he cannot say we only have politicians to fill those positions) it is up to him to scour for them.

We dnt hav any gud tin to offer rather than showin our six packs, flauntin cars, showin boobi & yansh, taking selfie etc while old pple ar busy siphonin our money and ruling us anyhow. Imagine, some gullible n senseless youths ar ready to die bcox of Buhari some even yab & curse themselves on social media.

Pavore9:
I am fully aware of what l am saying. We are so sucked up into believing that we cannot survive without oil. Kenya have discovered oil few years ago and have not even began production nor eager to rely on it because just like their President said they don't want to make the same mistake Nigeria made, She found oil and ignored other things! A litre of petrol for over the years sold for N224 in Kenya till last year when it came down to N180 but the transport fare in Kenya is far cheaper in comparison to Nigeria that sells under N100 per litre, this you can verify from any Nigerian living in Kenya. Domestic flight is also cheap, the same flight duration between Lagos and Abuja that is above N20,000 in Nigeria goes for N8,000 in Kenya and Nigeria happens to a oil producing Country!

Do you know how many billions of dollars Kenya earns from tourism and agriculture? 75% of Rose flowers sold in Europe is from Kenya and every night different airlines depart with cargoes of fruits, vegetables and flowers from Kenya heading to Europe to be sold in markets across Europe the next day. Nigerians go to Europe to buy the same flowers Kenya exported there!

Nigeria will NEVER die because of the fall in price of oil rather the crash will wake her up!

We have seen similar products online and in the news before. It's time, Innoson got more serious. People will not just purchase your product(s) because it's indigenous.

If I have my way, I will sack the entire marketing department of that company. Here is a product that is definitely cheaper, relative to foreign manufactured ones, made in a country with above-board taste and resources. Yet, the product is so poorly marketed.

What is the price of these vehicles? No idea!

My advice:
Innoson, get more serious by engaging in aggressive marketing: buy advert time in the news and dailies.
Come and set up a factory in Ogun or Lagos state to be more visible; invade the peaceful parts of the North (give a few as gifts to the Northern leaders and elders), establish IVM repair points in Kano and Kaduna...

nyben4eva:
Believe it or not,Nigeria is better off as one indivisible nation.Imagine the Igbos with sleek tecnological advancement,the Yorubas as financial and media experts and the North performing wonders in agriculture.What else do we need to improve as a nation?Nothing!Oil is nothing but a curse to Nigeria,that's why we Niger Deltans are so lazy.Our only contribution is oil which is a natural resources,no wonder Nigerians see us as minorities.

Nonybb:
If Buhari declares that Godwin Emefiele and Ibe Kachikwu are Igbos, he is not wrong. Someone must not be from your own village, speak the same brand of Igbo with you before you know he is Igbo. Ostensibly I know that Buhari is an error as a leader, but with his recent statement, he was able to prove that he understood Igbo tribe more than some Igbos. Hausa tribe had been able to merge themselves with the Fulanis, calling themselves Hausa-Fulanis and that is why they had been able to repeatedly dominate Nigeria politically. We must take advantage and cognizant of this tribal alliance the Northerners had been using as an advantage. When appointments are given to Anioma people of Delta state, Ikwere people of Rivers state, Igbanke people of Edo state, etc, let us collectively see it as Igbo man fully appointed. Let there be no contention amongst us, and lets get ride of that supremacist mentality of one state being more Igbo than the other. We are all Igbos as long as we can pick one or two similarities between within our Igbo spoken language.

Demmocrats:
If the federal government would stop all there tribalism mentality and invest in Innoson motors and Ebonyi Rice we won't be in this mess we are in with the level of unemployment.

kettykings:
You are even more sillier, if you don't realize that targeting people of a particular origin for your internal revenue at a time you like and claiming that the are invading your region makes you a classic hypocrite.
How many times has the Lagos government ever gone to generate revenue from tailors, omonile, agbo sellers.

The same people who few weeks ago were shedding crocodile tears about igbos invading their regions are now the most vocal opposition against igbo seccession to the extent that biafra promotion was even banned in nairaland.

You folks are a bunch very funny jokers and unserious folks.

@ mods congratulations if I am not banned for saying the fact the way it is.

kettykings:
As usual, how else would the budget be funded if not from the tax from alaba, ladipo and igbo businesses

For years, Israel has been demonized, held responsible for every terrorist atrocity from blowing up Holocaust survivors at a Passover Seder to the mutilation and murder of her Olympic athletes. It was all Israel’s fault, because she had mistreated the poor Palestinians.
The French welcomed thousands of Muslims to France. They made them citizens, gave them access to everything the Western world has to offer.

The French sided openly with the Palestinians, and had a hands-off policy towards Muslims, making their neighborhoods no-go zones for the police.

Their reward? Mass killings in supermarkets, magazine offices, restaurants, a sports arena, and a concert hall by Muslims. But why? After all, the French were so “nice?”
After the most recent French atrocity, ISIS, claiming responsibility, posted the following on its website: “Hundreds of apostates were attending an adulterous party.”

That’s right. That’s what France is to them. Immoral. According to their standards. And so, they deserve to die. So now, what is France planning to do? To pass a law recognizing a Palestinian State.
Huh! What?! To recognize the supporters and accomplices of the people who blew them up? Because that’s what the Palestinians are: radical Muslim terrorists. Our Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu is flabbergasted, furious. But I’m not. The French want to be “nice,” to spare themselves further terror attacks.

They won’t succeed. Just the opposite. This is a fact. Israel tried that. We gave them the entire Gaza Strip. We uprooted thousands of Jews. Handed over their multi-million dollar hot-house businesses. Gave them our synagogues. We even dug Jewish corpses out of the graves of Gaza cemeteries, many of them put there by Muslim terrorists, and took them out of Gaza before handing it over. We also thought we could be “nice,” make them happy, make them not hate us so much.
And what happened? They thought we were idiots. Worse, they thought we were weak. If terror got us to do that, a lot of terror would get us to give them even more. From the site of Jewish settlements and destroyed synagogues, they set up their rocket launchers sending tens of thousands of rockets into Israel, making life unbearable for every Jew within shooting range. They dug hundreds of terror tunnels under the borders, planning a mass, murderous invasion, until the IDF had to finally go in there. And it’s still not over and won’t be until we kick every, single one of them out of Gaza, and re-take it.

That’s the truth for anyone willing to hear it.
Last week, Syed Rizwan Farook and his new Pakistani bride, parents of a six month-old baby, who were living the American dream, killed fourteen people, his co-workers, and injured dozens of others. And he was only just getting started on his “jihad.” Police found thousands of rounds of ammunition, pipe bombs, you name it.

Oh, he had big plans, little Syed and his blushing Pakistani jihadi bride. He did this, even though Americans had saved his immigrant parents from that disgusting s***-hole called Pakistan, and provided him with the means to obtain higher education and a high paying job. Even though his workmates had never had any arguments with him, and had indeed, even thrown him and his new wife a baby shower!
“They were radicalized,” the President of the United States, that ISIS-lover (that’s what the Egyptians are calling him now) has said. Not the same thing as saying they were terrorists. It means, they were good, peace-loving people but YOU made them terrorists, because … you weren’t nice enough to them.

Listen to Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece CAIR: “When we support coup leaders in Egypt or other places, when we support dictatorship, oppressive regimes around the world that push people over on the edge, then they become extremists, then they become terrorists.”
Loretta Lynch, U.S. Attorney General has addressed Muslim murderers killing Americans by saying she will prosecute anyone engaging in “hate speech” towards Muslims, while CNN’s Anderson Cooper tried to get the wife of a victim – a co-worker who was a Christian who loved Israel – to admit that her husband probably wasn’t “nice” enough to Syed and therefore he had it coming.

Yes, my friends, whatever you do, you can never be “nice” enough to today’s Muslims.

They hate you not because of how you treat them, but because you exist and you don’t believe in their religion...
Listen to what I’m going to tell you now. And trust me, as an American-born Israeli who has lived with Muslim terror for fifty years, it’s the truth: They hate you not because of how you treat them, but because you exist and you don’t believe in their religion, or their wondrous prophet. Because you treat women and homosexuals as human beings. Because you won’t agree that they take over your country and your lives, and submit to their rules.

So when you die, they will tell you it’s all your fault. Because you made them mad. You made them really, really mad, so whatever horrors they are at this very moment busily planning to inflict on you (because that’s the only thing they are good at; the only thing they believe in), you deserve them. It is inevitable and you should have seen it coming.
And so if you welcome them into your country, and give them good jobs and educations, and you throw them baby showers, and allow their foreign born fiancées K-1 visas to enter the country, they will add to their anger their contempt because you are weak and foolish and don’t understand that they are at war with you and want you dead.

And your politicians, who are still getting advice from CAIR, will outlaw guns to make it easier for them, because they don’t need licenses for guns, believe me. But you will.
And the states who had the guts to stand up to Obama’s flooding the U.S. with “refugees” will all back down, the way Texas has. After all, why would you want to fight against a nice Syrian family – two lovely parents, two lovely grandparents, two little kids? And why wouldn’t you give a visa for the lovely fiancée of the environmental health specialist from San Bernardino with their lovely, dimpled six month-old baby? Why?

So you will. And in return you are going to get San Bernardinos all over the U.S.A. Then you will need to live like we live in Israel, except maybe not as safely because the people in charge of your safety have to do what your President, who is such good friends with CAIR, tells them to do, while we are protected by fellow Jews, who have wised up over the years from our own Leftist crazies who got hundreds of us blown up in buses and coffee houses while they were “giving peace a chance,” and giving the Palestinians “good-will gestures” like not frisking them at check-points for weapons, or arming their “police.”
Now, we let our slowpoke Leftists talk. But we don’t elect them or give them power, like you did, do, and are planning to do (Hillary is the last nail in your coffin.) Even Mr. Trump, who has said so much that is true, is a slowpoke when it comes to Islam. He’s going to get Israel to “give concessions” to “make peace in six months.”

I feel sorry for you America, France, Great Britain, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain. So many more of you are going to die trying to be “nice” to the Muslims. Trying to make life good for them, until you realize they hate you and want you dead no matter what you do for them. You and your wife and your kids. Dead or sold into slavery, or raped or educated to be killers. Dead or willing to be part of their new world order, the great Caliphate.
And without a radical change in thinking by the West, they are going to succeed. There is a slim window of opportunity to defeat them. But it would take extreme guts, and extreme measures, which, frankly, I don’t know if you’re capable of.

But here it goes: Take back your country by taking away the power from your ISIS-loving presidents and prime ministers and the people and media who put them in power.
Close down the mosques and Muslim Cultural Centers (Islamic Center of North America, CAIR etc. All the Islamic centers and mosques are connected with terror, especially in America, according to John Guandolo, an FBI expert.

It’s not about gun control. Yes, America has a gun problem, and is filled with crazies. But terrorists are not crazy. They are warriors. They will obtain guns to make war, legal or not, and they will use them to kill people and further their agenda. Tightening gun control just at this moment when jihad has come to America isn’t a good idea, because it might mean the victims won’t be able to protect themselves.

joseph1832:
I'm sure if you do a proper research about whether Muslims should be ban in the U.S or not, you'll find that most of the people commenting just hold a minute opinion.

People shouldn't be held responsible for the actions of others. However, they should be held accountable for not outrightly condemning their brothers when they go on killing spree, just to spread their narrow minded views...

Zico5:
Many of us usually judge without knowing what is going on behind the window. Women naturally have the ability to bear to the maximum level especially when in love. As a married man, I at times pity my wife cos my own sister may not even bear what she sometimes sacrifice for me. Women build, mold and nurture home when they mean business. That is why I don't judge or blame when it comes to marital issue cos what a grown up person sees when sitting, a kid cannot when standing. U get ur decision to make and God knows it all. Prosperous new year ma

you should mind what you say of people's parents online lest you anger the dead.

My mum is chilling in heaven right now, gracias, and I lost her at the young age of 10, but while she was alive, I had the best education, attended Holy Child College in Lagos, Joke Silva's alma mater. I changed my wardrobe every 3 months, went to the beach or chocolate royale and the likes over the weekend during holidays, hell, before her death, we were processing papers for a trip to Canada. She worked with the Lagos State Police Commissioner, so yes, I moved with blasting sirens.

My mother's legacy wasn't foolish, material things like clothes or make-up, it was priceless things like a brain, integrity and dignity. She never trained me to get attention with my looks, but with my brain. If many mothers were like mine, the world would not be filled with slutty, gold diggers who are okay with being told they are pretty, but with little or no brain recognition

People who haven't seen wealth tend to get carried away by it and act carelessly thinking they are being modern. Those who have seen wealth, don't dress their daughters up like rookie street girls. Ask the Obama's and the Trumps.


Tell your client to post a picture of her daughter's academic achievement one of these days, aunty modern mum.

Thank you my fellow Nairalander, what some people fail to understand is that bringing up a child is not only the obligation of the parent. If society cannot correct a child on the wrong path, he /she grows up, corrupts and brings other kids to this wrong path. Whether we're in 2015 or 1950, it still takes a village to train a child,from society to family to school, anyone responsible will not turn a blind eye to a kid that's been brought up in an untoward manner. So many people have sacrificed sensibility on the altar of modernization. Your words hit home.

A few years ago, I would have rushed to read this with alacrity because it is written by "saint Abati". Never again!.
I wish you all the best as you re-launch yourself to public acceptance. May be I should remind you that your first attempt via the review of Wole Soyinka's book was a total failure. Just go and enjoy your loot and leave your followers to catch their fun elsewhere.

Shalom!


Same here, there is nothing abati writes that I will personally read. It's amazing how this man turned on the people. Now he writes like he was never part of the rot. Every form of respect and reverence for him has evaporated. It's disgusting when people have this amnesia that makes them forget whho bit the finger that fed them. Reuben is a shame to his nation, manhood and journalism.

Mine was even shorter. Resumed on Wednesday, resigned on Thursday. The coy recruited us from lagos, took us to ibadan to a cocoa processing plant. Men i have never seen such a badth company before. They process cocoa, machines were old ( normal in Nigeria). 7 am to 7pm to 7am shift, one free mama put meal per day. The blended cocoa line supposed to heated 24/7 because it solidifies quickly. Most of the lines heating filament have damaged so you have to keep the plant running to avoid line blockage. The guy i supposed to relief left 10 minutes before my arrival then the wahala started. The grinding machine (Cylinder as tall as 2meters, diameter like 1meter) full of blended cocoa and bearings to make it fine, content solidified together with lines connected to it. We started parking them out because the machine will never start until everything is evacuated. i spent the first 6 hrs packing chocolates , sweating profusely, so much comands. i said to my self, this is a bad omen. first day at work this stressful. i discovered that this happened often because their generator has been bad for months. you know what that means. i resigned with immediately. mi o le wa ku. My parents were in active service and were never tired of taking care of me. i was the one looking for independence. i picked race. one guy lost his hand to hot chocolate accidentally pressed out of a hydraulic press. i resigned through text message on my way home.
