I am fine - anyway what good

Abeg speak english

hello drunks

how are you all

jookco:
We are now free from the North Political trauma.

I would not say free yet as the present Government is a padi padi arrangement amongst the present southerners and Northerns. I am sure you are aware that GEJ is currently wooing Atiku, IBB , Gasau and Ciroma

If i were GEJ's teacher  - I would recommend that he take extra tuition most especially in Information and Communication subjects.


Spend a week with any individual and i am assured you will be able tell which direction that person is heading .  In case of GEJ those 11 months have spoken volumes and a further 4 years would not be pleasant at all for the masses.

“Certainly, Yar’Adua’s health remains a cause of concern for northern power brokers, especially in light of the possibility that Vice President Goodluck Jonathan would constitutionally be next in line for the presidency in the event of Yar’Adua’s demise, although we doubt the northern elite would allow this to transpire.

Opposition presidential aspirant Muhammadu Buhari (All Nigeria People’s Party) told PolOff May 13 at his Kaduna home that given the North’s trepidation of power returning to the South (if, for instance, Yar’Adua cannot complete his term), Buhari feels vindicated in his insistence on challenging the President’s election. Buhari intimated that members of the northern political elite have begun visiting him to affirm their allegiance to him, and to support him as he continues to contest Yar’Adua’s election at the Supreme Court (see Ref B).

Buhari noted that, in light of news of Yar’Adua’s troubling health, some northern power brokers now believe fresh polls (wherein Buhari emerges the victor) might be the best way of ensuring that the North retains the presidency.”




Wikileaks : Turai Yar’Adua & Corruption :

“xxxxxxxxxxxx suggested that while Yar’Adua served as governor of Katsina, Yar’Adua’s wife Hajiya Turai Yar’Adua, manipulated him into diverting millions of dollars of funds from the state treasury into private Yar’Adua family accounts.

xxxxxxxxxxxx alleged that Yar’Adua used these stolen funds to construct a lavish private residence in Katsina and to finance family vacations to the Middle East and the UK.”

I cant remember the country but it actually against the law not to register to vore. In the Nigerian context because of our young democracy i think it should be mandatory to vote. Nobody should have a right to complain if you dont vote.

frosbel:
Can anyone kindly tell me what Nigeria's top security  executives discuss when they have their meetings ?

Do they really know what is going on nationwide, or do they care  

My answer is , CLUELESS in Nigeria  

lol


A typical FEC Meeting  - The only thing you hear is that they have awarded contracts

Wetin concern them with bombing that one na peasants problem

eku_bear:
Thanks for the links, @Ma_J_Blige.

Looks like you are correct, the NEXT article is too negative.

I found this quote from Aganga interesting:

Mr Man

The next article is about 22 hours old .  Below is quote from the financial time  - roughly about 22 hours old



"However, several major funds have told the Financial Times they are not interested in the deal because of Nigeria’s deteriorating fiscal situation and worries about how President Goodluck Jonathan’s government has run the excess crude account, designed to store up windfall oil revenues."

We have graduated from Militancy, Kidd napping and now bombs


Thanks a bunch PDP - I say Goodluck to Nigeria more like bad luck .

Alxmyr:
I am disappointed at this report coming from Next. It is obvious that NEXT and their cronies derive joy in running Nigeria down. The said bond was over-subscribed to by $1.25 Billion. That is nearly 300% of what was expected. This shows the confidence of international community in the prospect of Nigeria economy. Yet a newspaper of Next standard will do a sotry that such bond was shuned by investors said emptiness of reasoning in the entire editorial team of NEXT.

Relax Man

Initially an article by the Financial times of London reported that investors were wary of the whole bond thing and number of investors had stated they werent going to bid due to the way Nigeria mismanaged the Excess crude account.

I believe that Next News were reporting along that line and I suspect there must have been last minute surge in interest but it is unfortunate that next had already gone to print.

Interesting

See attack in a sequential manner from the three beaf's

Lol

Haba

Dont you know that when a man is desperate to hang on to power even the coffers are not safe

with over 3500 delegates and other groups like save Nigeria group to bride

where do you think the money is going to come from.

These people dole out money like there is no tomorrow from Oct 1st party to 3 presidential jets and VP house renovation.

Abeg Mr Gbawe i am warning you dont fall my hand

philip0906:
jega and jonathan r e-diots. . .

Lol

How can they be well trained when you are spending 75% of the budget on recurrent expenses. Did a pdp government of 12 years provide computer facilities.

anyway if GEJ needs computer consultants - I charge £400 a day excluding expenses.

Well they say GEJ has good heart or intentions for Nigeria

Recommendations, Recommendations, How many more Recommendations

but be rest assured that one go fall on deaf ears.  The reality on ground is as follow posts are created to appease fellow political associates and if GEJ Tries to cut any post a lot of his fellow cabals will turn on him fast as my man is desperate for power nothing will change.

That is why you have a case where a governor will have 268 advisers ( haba is he running heaven or what).  

The only lucrative business in Nigeria at the moment for these no gooders is politics and  it seems  Danjuma  wants to put them out of business.

A Country that doles out cash like their is no tomorrow for example Niger Delta Ministries  was created to appease some group the question one should ask what is the function of the MinistrY of Internal Affairs.  The list is just Endless

These politicians will rather Nigerian sink than to reduce government as long Oil money is flowing wetin concern them with peasantS like myself and yourself .

That is why we must put an end to 12 years of misrule - nothing good can ever come out of PDP.

Bawss1:
Off topic but I just had to state here that I can see that the OP is none other than B**F. Gosh you can never hide certain things in this life.

This was just a comical digression, I mean no harm.

Lol

Ma J blige don go Oya welsey90 your turn to log on.

all Monikers that belong to beaf,

Internal colonialism at best.

Nigeria will be great again one day.

@Wesley

We did read that part and it says the Government used the money to fund budget deficit, how can we have a deficit when our major foreign exchange earner was benchmarked at a lower value than we got? I wan become president, oya take 10 billion naira, nollywood needs money, oya take 30 billion naira, I wan register people, oya take 87 billion naira, I wan do independence, oya spend 10 billion, what of jets, make we buy 3 as we are the richest country iin Africa now, that is how budget deficits occur. We are running budget deficits and lawmakers are earning armed robbers salary, we are spending money we do not have ( same as our banks did during soludo's time).
As per what accrues to the Governmet from our oil production, someone somewhere on nairaland explained it very well, in short, the Oil companies are surviving on very small margins while the Government is taking the Lion, Tiger and Elephant share.

Well done

Even those of us who dont have a finance background know that trouble lies ahead when you spend more than you earn.

Looking at the trend on how the yaradua/gej adminstration have depleted the Reserve and ECA clearly shows that Nigeria is toeing the line of bankruptcy if a course correction is not applied .

Today we are borrowing $500Mill to fund a deficit - what about next year budget are we going to borrow again

75% of the bugdet is recurrent expenses. Is the remaining 25% able to generate the enough funds for Next year. I dont think so.

Your problem on NairaLand has been your inability to make very objective arguments.

Your dislike for Nigeria and her leaders has totally taken over your ability to make objective statements.

If GEJ kids are outside the country, you will talk, but now they are in Nigeria, yet you talk.

When you become President of Nigeria, pack your kids and send them to your village schools.

To hell with UK officials who enter public transport- who cares about them? So, you want to see GEJ enter Molue buses or what is the relationship here?

Thank you Mr Analyst.

Firstly i dont dislike Nigeria and her leaders. This thread was never about GEJ'S children Location that variant was introduced by yourself.

What i was simply saying " whatever is good for the people of Nigeria has to be good for the president"

wesley80:
Your every sentence exhudes so much ignorance that its almost sickening and yet u keep yapping like u know what u're saying! whose children are out of the country? were u the one that got their visa? The real problem is the number of folks out there that are too willing to point accusing fingers even over things they do not have the slightest clue about. And i'm sure u think of yourself as an expert Nigerian affairs analyst abi?

I am not able comprehend the above rant as it makes no sense  - if you are not wise enough to follow the chain of conservation then i cant help you. obviously you are part of the those struggling to pass jamb.   Complete ode where in my chat did i state GEJ'S Children are out of the country. 

 
Insignificant fcck.  Abeg crawl back in between GEJ BUM CHEEKS more poo awaits you as your lunch is being served.

Ma_J_Blige:
IN APPROPRIATE? IN WHOSE EYES?

When you become the President of Nigeria, send your kids, all of them, to your village school and come to NairaLand to tell us.

Rubbish.

You are definitely part of everything that is wrong with Nigeria. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.

No wonder the educational system is at a stage of comatose. In a more sane environment it will be a major embarrassment if not illegal for the president or prime minister of the US , UK to send their children out of the country during their early days of the children. You are simply stating that you have no faith in your country very unpatriotic i say

Are you aware that the Ministers in the UK use public transport and i have met a few doing this.

How else come can so called leader feel the impact if you are not using the system.

I agree 100%  The rapid depletion of the Excess Crude Account and The reserve is clearly abnormal. I suspect if things carry on this way Nigeria will declare bankruptcy. 

One way out is the immediate shrinking of government. This style of of governance is too expensive and unsustainable.

typical example

You have a  Minister of Works and you also have Minister of State for Works . what job does a  Minister of state carry out that Minister cannot do and then you have a permanent secretary of works. 

Over bloated nonsense.

Nice post Kasumuto

Even somebody like my self who has no finance background would be wary of this bond thing.


Before obj left we had the following

Reserves - 50billion

Excess crude account - 20 or 30 billion


In the aftermath of yAR/geJ adminstration

We now have -

R - 30bill

eca - 400million


THe question is where did all this money one go in four years - and how can we justify borrowing a measly $500 million

when we can take the 500 Million from the reserve.


I repeat a government of GEJ according to the above mismanagement will surely bankrupt Nigeria.

byrron:
@blacsta: hey dude, u don go discourage me nw with dis electrocusion issue. I swear if dat tin called DDC machine shock i go slam d dam dit 4floor oo. I don laff tire with dis your post oo. Can we ever do anything rightly in NIGERIA

I almost laugh fall commot my chair

Just make sure you were thick rubber slippers to prevent earthing yourself = so if thing shock u you no go fill am

but if your slippers don wear out - ol boy you fall my hand

na you and baba God go have dinner this evening.

this boy or girl

Are you trying to increase your post count or you have a really crap internet service

why the double post

I dont mix with poor people

Engrish has not death yet

ROSSIKE:
Gekko, u wan kill persin here.  But truly, looking at this stuff you posted, some of these things don't even cost so much money. How much does it cost to pave an area and add a lawn, trees, benches, and some lights?  Next to nothing!

oya now - pay for it

Nigerian are not ready for this kind of development - After the initial clear up at Oshodi - I am sure it is sliding back to it former deplorable state.

Anyway fashola has other important issues to worry about

Election is round the corner.
