Ferdinandu: I'm interested. I nominate myself, I vote myself and I declare myself the new moderator of politics sections. Everybody join in congratulating me."The New Moderator".Seun take note.

Congratulations Mr Jonah Jang!! same thing you did at the NGF! well done

barcanista: Sorry to say Mrs Buhari, Sincer9jerian is levels above you on NL

Nope..... Berem is open and honest and supports her cause reasonably, she has little tolerance for stupidity and mediocrity .....Sincere9jerian is obsessed and bitter with the Successes of Lagos. Don't get me wrong I love his intelligence and analysis but he is badly misguided and needs to forgive Fashola for banning street trading.

NAPTU2.....I nominate , intelligent , good online availability, balanced and non tribal posts.

I don't live in Nigeria so anything political about the nation does not impact me but NOI have contributed to the development of my state.

[b]I live in Nigeria and I will die in Nigeria, I will not live in any other country of this world I will only visit other nations and return home, I am a part of this country, I have investments in Nigeria only, I am employing hundreds of young people and I am helping youths to get a better tomorrow. All the decisions taken out here affect me. What contribution has Ngo made to your state?

Please don't get me wrong, I have respect for NGO as a person and I respect her credentials but I think we do not need her to contribute to our economic woes at this time. I only hear of economic improvements on the pages of newspapers and on social media but not in the lives of the multitudes I come across in my daily routines. I feel the pinch of the harsh economy badly and I am in the upper middle class. The Federal government is broke as of today and the oil price that is the main stream of our economy is on the favourable side. We do not need economic policies but better life.
Nigeria was the first African nation to pay all its debts to the Paris club of about $30B!!! under Ngo (her bro was heavily compensated for acting as one of the agents to the deal) yet we could not affort to fix Lagos Ibadan express or even build infrastructure in Nigeria. What an Impractical economist. Why was the loan not restructured or rescheduled because now that Ngo is back our loans have gone up by over =N=1.2 trillion as at 2012 see link below.

The combination of this woman and Lamido has ruined the economy of my country Nigeria. I am saying this because as a venture capitalist, loans are more expensive and difficult to obtain, small industries are folding up faster than in the past. Ask the artisan and the low income earner they will tell you the true state of the economy.[/b]

Thanks to her, the nation you live in paid off most of its debt.

Your assertion is false!..... go to the DMO website to confirm. She is still loyal to the World bank that made her who she is. Stick to facts not fallacies[b][/b]

It was she that suggested to publish each state's monthly financial allocation from the federal government in an effort to increase transparency of government.

This is a very good initiative from NGO and I am happy to see this practice continued by the Ministry of Finance over the years , I give her full credit. Unfortunately, Nigerians are too laid back to use such information effectively. I have challenged my Local government chairman severally over the dearth in projects in spite of the massive climb in revenues.


It was she that suggested to remove the fuel subsidy scam that you all threw a temper tantrum over until some Hausa guy gave one a breakdown of how beneficial the suggestion was. She equally suggested a budget that would improve the unemployment rate of your nation.

[b]I was one of the brave and patriotic Nigerians that fought and is still fighting the subsidy removal. I disagree with the government over the subsidy because
1. The Government charges Vat , Demurrage, licence and permits and bribe to Government officials before arriving at the pump price of fuel.
2. We have zero confidence in Government because they have been lying to Nigerians since 1985 over the fuel subsidy matter. Each time the price is increased , we are promised improved infrastructure and everything good but has never happened, from road maintenance fund to PTDF to the current Sure P, we have paid and no value received from FGN. GEJ said he would cut his fruitless travels and big government , today as I write he is in the US attending the UN summit with about 600 fellows as delegates , stillon the bill of the FGN. SureP has limited impact around the lives of the generality of Nigerians.
3. FGN has the responsibility to keep refineries and down stream sector running. It will be a lot cheaper to produce crud oil and refine locally. With all the monies spent by government under the guise of refinery TAM we have NO results to show.
4. Diesel was deregulated several years ago and the price has never come down but keeps going up daily. Yet they lie to us that deregulation will reduce the price of fuel.
Now the foregoing has shown that the FGN has failed the people , why then should the people pay for the inefficiencies of the FGN? Ngo claims the subsidy scam has been curtailed but they still make massive payments to subsidy thieves and they are unable to prosecute them. Monumental fraud is still going on under the nose of madam world bank.
This is almost two years after the removal of subsidy…..what are the gains to Nigerians outside the textbook and in people’s minds
Other than textbook or online improvements in the economy can this woman justify her stay as the min of finance and coordinating minister of the economy?
Nigerians just want a better life, is this too much to ask for?

Good budget my foot, how has that helped our economy or the man on the streets? We are all aware the FGN is broke and despite all the good oil prices, our economy is clearly being mismanaged. They cannot even fund the Lagos Ibadan expressways because the funds availab le are being channelled to corruption and politics of 2015..
Tell me why this woman should remain on that seat if the economy is crumbling badly under her watch.
[/b]


Past chairman of an organization that donated $49.3 billion to provide grants and interest-free loans to the world’s poorest countries (your nation included).

Thanks to her for this, it would be better for her to stay on that seat helping my people rather than being a major contributor to the killing of My nation’s economy as at today, handing us over to the word bank and trying out text book policies.

………………………………rest of good cv truncated for space reasons

Until Amaechi and his corrupt governors can achieve half of the ish this woman has done and helped half of the people and the nation this woman have helped, then they have the right to attack her. Until then he and his 13 corrupt governors should sit down and focus on their work. They are governors, not thugs.[/quote]Achievements are not defined by staying in the Ivory towers and adding negative value to humanity. It is not by the impressive CV above. Tell you what; no black can go far in such a big organisation without being a butt licker or a jack ass. If you do not support imperialism you cannot go far at the world bank. Amechi has created jobs and infrastructure in Rivers state and no one can take that away from him. Amechi took over at the height of militancy and he took the war to the base of the militants and kidnappers. Ngo’s achievements are just in the minds of her supporters.

She should leave for good and allow a more practical person to move the country forward

Amen!...the best things in life come free.... amen again. Maybe one day you will find someone as Good as Berem, may the Almighty make this happen in your life and May your present wife, spouse or girlfriend be able to meet up with Berem's intelligence. Amen.

Have a nice weekend! ...........

ichidodo: Berem don expose herself.

Obviously COMPREHENSION is not as easy as it sounds. I have said it severally that the ability to post in the politics section should not be open to all and sundry. Moderators should test people's IQ before they are allowed to stray into this section of Nairaland.

My guy go back to the romance, celebrity or music section honourably!

adino: THIS IS THE SUREST DESCRIPTION OF THE SILLY BRAT BEREM

If you are able to marry a woman as intelligent as she is, go give thanksgiving in your place of worship. Looking at her picture, if you are able to marry a woman that is well taken care of and beautiful like Berem count your unfortunate self lucky.

Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The Federal Government on Wednesday directed Julius Berger Nigeria Plc to begin the rehabilitation of the bad portions on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway to reduce the hardship being faced by motorists.

The Director of Federal Highways (South West), Federal Ministry of Works, Mr. Kabiru Abdullahi, said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos.

“I was at the site and told Julius Berger to start patching the potholes. I believe by now, it has started,” he said.

He said the company initially had a problem on where to build its work yard but that the problem had been resolved.

Abdullahi said the process for the release of the 15 per cent contract sum to the company for the project was almost completed.

NAN reports that craters have developed on the highway around Isheri area on the Ibadan bound section of the road.

Craters have also appeared between the Mountain of Fire and Miracle Ministries and the Redeemed Camp on the Lagos bound lane, causing slow movement of vehicles.

President Goodluck Jonathan had on July 5 flagged off the reconstruction of the highway.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Lie don Kill all of you attesting to the fact that work has commenced on this road. See above another statement from the Ministry of Works! Clearly work has not commenced and funds have not been released over two months after flag off. Clearly even the FG bureaucracy does not respect the President ...maybe they have seen through him.

What excuse have they not given over this important road? Now they could not get land to locate their camp / work site. Anyone who has travelled that road before with open eyes will confirm that is a lie from Lucifer himself.

Retardeen is working in the minds of his Retardees, when reasonable fellow try to draw attention to the ceaselessness of FG the Retardeen flies only come to Nairaland to throw tantrums and hallucinate over imaginary enemies.

Fresh air to some is when people perish on that road daily and suffer hours of bad traffic.

jowako: God will purnish Jonathan for all his devilish deeds, especially for refusing to pay south west pensioners for the past 3 years.

Haba don't blame presido for everything naaaa sure there is a ministry in charge of paying those pensioners. Again maybe some of the pensioners are reaping what they have sown in the fed ministries. Similarly the current civil servants holding on to pension will suffer when they leave the corrupt system.......law of karma

stebell: Madam Berem, I've seen ur pix and I kno wat/hw yu look like. I can tell yu, yu are not beautiful. Yu are a product of well let me spare yu dat. Yu are above 30 and lying like a teen. I believe if yu are married, it's either ur hubby don't kno wat yu do all day @ home or he is one of de haters in dis forum. Yu don't even read ur Bible if yu hv one. Cos yu will see in it dat pray for ur leaders. I pity yu. As for me I'm in de transformation train already
Long Live Naija and GEJ team of Fresh Air.

She is not beautiful to you because your inside is not beautiful. Your inside most likely worse than Lagos Ibadan expressway as at today. You are a product of Generation X!

Your post is just emotional and selling the usual Pray for your leaders stuff when the leaders are busy laughing and looting and trampling on the future of the unborn children. Have you wondered why there are so many religions centres in Nigeria but yet we get worse in character by the day?....the same reason you who reads the bible says another is NOT beautiful what version of the bible do you use? Nigerians throw punches and when it is convenient they dock under the religious canopy. Same reason a church beat up state officials last week.

note that everyone has a right to an opinion

Look inwards

[quote author=One_Naira]I've kept quiet in the whole bash amaechi saga but Amaechi if that your disgraceful hand touches NOI, your political downfall would be worse than it is now.
Touch NOI. Useless man. Traitor. Nkita.[/quote]What has NGO done to better your life? Please say specifics, or if the question is above you , throw tantrums and leave the thread.

Retardees and great big flies of the emperor retardeen, please celebrate when the road is commissioned.


The same min of works that claimed work was going on smoothly on the road a week before they kicked out Bicourtney.

If they are serious, the first place to start work should be the mowe Ibafo axis where the road has badly failed. A wise man holds the head of a fish and a foolish one holds the tAil.

The day that road reconstruction starts, those of us who use the road and arson ground will know. I passed yesterday and all I could see was preparation of the site office and materials in such a slow and sleepy manner.

In is quite laughable that retardees will jump to the social media to celebrate site preparation in progress two months or so after flag off. I don't expect anything better from retardeen and his green flies!

Green flies, keep the excreta flag of your retardeen boss flying, hope your loved ones will not perish on this road as your retard mentor's mother in law perished on the same road Amechi was shouting they should fix.


I believe Nigerians will not allow this retardocracy to continue in 2015.

Jossy7575: [color=#770077][/color]
The reasons for the attacks is simple - No more business as usual. GEJ is becoming too transparent and the thieves who have stolen our national coffers blind hate to be deprived their source of livelihood, or what crime do you think GEJ has committed?

Nigerians should become wiser - Rails are beginning to work, Power sector will start working, Lagos - Ibadan expressway being fixed, Cashless economy kicking off, Almajirins taken off the streets to school, Second Niger bridge contract awarded, Cargo international airport in the East (first international airport there), external reserve risen to over $60B, Nigeria moving from a low economy to a medium economy, mega refinery on the way, cement price down, Boko Haran being tackled headlong, etc, and yet some shameless, ethnic-biased Nigerians say GEJ is not working? Haba! Let us stop politicizing issues and give credit to whom credit is due.

Name any president of Nigeria, living or dead who achieved more than this man has achieved within the same time frame. All Nigerians want to talk about OBJ for 8 years is GSM. From the time of Tafawa Balewa to Umaru Musa Yar'adua the Lagos-Ibadan express did not turn to 5 lanes on each side; but now they want it to happen because it is GEJ that is the president. Pleeeaaase! Nigerians should support GEJ; he is trying to re-chart a working future for us and our children. Why are we trying to pull him down by giving him bad names?

I sincerely support the call to rally round him and make things work for the better.

I can't stop laughing...hahahahhaa...good joke material.

berem: But the thread below says work Is yet to commence on the road. who's lying then.


https://www.nairaland.com/1442630/works-ministry-appeals-patience-lagos-ibadan

Haba, because the contractor has commenced preparation of their work site, some pickle brains have rushed to Nairaland to congratulate and claim freshair over nothing!

Well, I know retardeen's achievements are in the minds of his followers. His regime is based on corruption , incompetence , half truths and lies. The retardeen has surrounded himself with dumos who are rushing him to his condemnation.

Gej should treat these opportunists as thieves. Tell them to go suck a lemon.

Most of their members are in government service. They are the ones that brought the country and the government to its knees. many of them are richer than the departments and units they work for.

I will organise people and stop any protests in my area. I will go about my business, if they have the liver let them try to stop me!!

Bloody union thieves.

GEJ, now that your cannons are getting bigger and stronger please let those SSS and POLICE wey be like demons deal with them

Sincere 9gerian: GEJ has his shortcomings but he is by far the best president/head of state of this great country since Independence. His sincerity and humility are infectious.

All that is needed now for far greater development is for Nigerians to SUPPORT their president. All over the world, after elections, people unite, irrespective of political party differences, for DEVELOPMENT of their country. Why should that of Nigeria be different? Why should APC and certain elements of the country be sabotaging this president, and by extension Nigeria, from all angles- Boko Haram, pipeline vandalism, pull-him-down syndrome, media propaganda,etc?

Lets unite and DEVELOP our country. GEJ will only be president for a while.

Yes o but note that sincerity and humility cannot transform a country you need focus, hardwork and vision.......then add competence developed country like Malysia transformed by hard work and vision not luck


When a dull student scores average it calls for celebration......guys lets roll out the drums , lagos Ibadan construction has finally started.

Sincere 9gerian: Shameless people. OBJ ruled for 8 years and did nothing about that road. Yar Adua ruled for 3 years and did nothing about that road. It took the Ijaw fisherman to flag off work on the road in just under 3 years of his regime. Rather than show appreciations, fools and devils are threatening mayhem because of 2-3 months delays. What is 3 months delay compared to the 11 years of no action on that road by OBJ and Yar Adua govt? Idiots.

Meanwhile, @theoctopus.., thank you the pictures jare. You have just shamed the DEVILS and purveyor of LIES on NL

You see the problem with sitting in Enugu over ogogoro and commenting on Lagos.

First Obj added an extra lane by the median from Lagos to camp and about sagamu you lied about that one
I choose not to call the guy I jaw fisherman cos I have lived among ijaws and I can say the fishermen are more intelligent by at least sorrounding themselves with wise and reasonable fellows.
We all know the bunch of people who have adopted the style of threats to pass across ideologies

Get your facts right

Sincere 9gerian: Is that why your gods in Lagos have not been able to complete the Lagos light rail project (started by Jakande in the 80s) after ruling Lagos for 14 solid years? Where is the 4th Mainland bridge promised by Tinubu your lord? Where is the lekki international Airport? Besides painting federal roads and traffic control what other major project has been executed by the ACN/APC govt in Lagos in the last 14 years? Nonsense!

[quote author=Sincere 9gerian]Ha, I say the bad belle of Lagos go kill you. Why don't you find something to do on Enugu like pure water or coal business. Not everyone that comes to Lagos will make it, such is life ..........let go of Fashola, by pushing hawkers off the roads he is trying o build a megacity, nothing personal. Pray for Chime to do more for your people. God sends good leaders to Lagos cos Lagos does not beef anystate

I know a senior Enugu politician, I can help you talk to him so that he can arrange something for you in Enugu at least to help direct your energy appropriately

Finally, I sincerely hope the road project will progress quickly for the sake of the lives that are lost there daily.

ijeebest: @poster, I think you are happy now that the guy has been sacked. lets think about the implications of our actions before we act. the power of the pen is mightier than the sword. Food taken off the table for all the people that depend on this guy..

I really feel for this poor guy

I am happy the guy was fired!! His manager should not have been placed on suspension but also fired, it shows the manger is not supervising the branch effectively.
As a business owner you invest good money to start your business and build the client base.
One staff comes on all fours promising heaven and earth......
you give him the opportunity and he forgets he is just an employee......he gets so arrogant he treats your customer as if he is offering a favour to work what do you do?

....fire the bas$$$rd before he chases your customers away and kills your business.

Most of the bankers I see at csu and counters are so full of themselves that they need to be kept in check. Many of them do not know how difficult it is to get customers to part with deposits or make money. They sit in their ivory towers myopically dwelling on some dumb procedures manual without the capacity to apply simple common sense!

It is quite annoying to see people lack basis knowledge and be so arrogant about it. They never want to go the extra mile for anyone except big Oga's are involved.


Poster, you have done very well, I encourage the educated to always stand up and challenge recruitment errors like the affected UBA staff. Maybe the service industry will get better. I doff my hat for you poster and I am impressed and say kudos to the management of UBA for doing the right thing.

Sincere 9gerian: I'm having fun. Dont you get it? You should direct your advice to the hateful, angry and bitter opposition elements on NL.

You can add palm oil to the mixture. It will help you get over Lagos and APC. How life out there in Enugu? Has FG paid the airport land lords compensation? Is Chime better and performing?

Sincere 9gerian: When power drops by even 1megawatt, APC maggots will come out spitting fire but when the same power increases, they go into hiding. It is not impossible that APC warriors are responsible for the series of pipeline vandalism that resulted in drop of power in the first place.

Meanwhile, @Op, what about source?

Watch out APC and Fashola are pushing you to your early grave! Check your BP regularly and drink plenty of water. Again I wonder how Ilupeju represents Lagosians

[quote author=i_laugh]dumb[/quote]No one asked you to post your middle name on this forum! Keep your middle name and surname to yourself please.

Some of us need more than little efforts to ensure our children live a better life than us.

Let me test your ability to think?

1. how many promises have the FG kept on this road since 2007 to date?
2. How long has the FGN been on the Ibadan Ilorin dualisation project and where did Yaradua's government stop before he died? How much of serious work happened under the new regime of Mr Clueless?
3. What does it mean when a project is flagged off?

Mediocrity is like leprosy that creeps slowly into the body system and cures with bad scars . Mediocrity affects the brain and leaves a bad scar on the psyche of the victims. I hope you get cured fast mate

Again to help you understand and make an attempt to help you build a focused perspective....True leaders are visionary and are elected to make things happen and not to put in little efforts or make empty promises. If thriving economies of the world just put in little efforts, you probably will not be using a computer today to express your views. ....guess you would be picking that your nose on one farm in your village rather than in front of a computer picking your nose and rubbing the dirt on your trousers.

Have a nice day..... as I know several fuses have been blown with my brief analysis......my solution to people of limited intellect....respond with a one liner insult and I will wrap you up

Try and create a desire for excellence which is inbuilt in well formed children. I cannot but notice that your posts are majorly in the romance section and usually once liners throwing insults or advising people to sleep with their cousins. Your perverted mind has destroyed your ability to think and function appropriately.

This is politics section; your IQ clearly is below that of permissible membership of this section. Moderators please act accordingly. There should be a minimum IQ level to be able to post into the politics section. Penny for my thoughts

[quote author=i_laugh]Try to make more sense when you shout.[/quote]My dear, try and disconnect your head from your balls and attempt to connect your skull to your fingers before you post. OK?
I cannot help you if your addiction to chat , BB and music has degenerated your grey matter! ...OK?

[quote author=Aree4joy]Anyone with good info on a cycling club around Ikeja to Magodo

Thank God somebody is growing bigger balls to be more decisive

The FGN is useless and they only yap like dogs........They should shut up and get the damned job done.

Promises and lies since 2007 .......shameless dogs. Stop promising and work.

To the guys who are blaming the states, please get full details on the matters concerning this road since 2007. Luck or sincerity cannot move any nation forward without vision, purpose and hardwork.

Its so bad with UBA that I do not accept their cheques for any reasons even if I have to loose business. The bank has always been operating in the low league when it comes to service and charges.

Ngwakwe: With such mindset, you will only succeed in turning every thread to gossip and busybody column
.

You should play cool as older member of Politics Section and leave some silly quarrels for newbie(s)

Anyway, you have the right to be heard irrespective of how offensive your opinions may appear provided it isn't an undue personal/tribal attack.

You know indeed the old brigade of politics section never get involved in ethnic tantrums. Political maturity is rare these days.

I really struggle with almost every thread turned into iBo vs Yoruba and South south vs sw and north.really shameful

Our useless leaders benefit from this ethnic divisions while Nigerians are on the loosing end.

These people should carry their religion based politics else where.

What has PFN done for Lagos. With the number of churches and size of congregations increasing daily, we only see more crimes and vices even in the church.

Nigerians are over religious and need good leadership only to move ahead. These PFN people should count me and my people out of their warped arrangement. I will battle them openly to face their commission and battle to restore the taste of salt they have since lost.

Silence is Golden, Kwakwanso and his team should keep mum and spend more time planning strategies and less time talking.

I hope we get a strong, result oriented, better focused and intelligent leader .come 2015

Good advice from Mr momodu, unfortunately the presido is not the reading type obviously and if he reads at all, it must be from his delusional aides. The aides ensure the man is always loaded with Kai Kai and take advantage of his gullible nature.

He has been pushed to the point of impeachment.

When God is ready to remove kings, he makes them deaf and also mad. God, please give us leaders with vision and common sense

jude33084: You mean better like BRT Buses and LEkki Epe toll gate saga

The BRT is the first in Nigeria and also the best but these days the state of the buses call for urgent attention before thy turn into killing machines. I also think the drivers should be given stiffer sanctions for misconduct. But I don't agree that it is anywhere near the dark days of molue. I even look forward to the eradication of the yellow buses (the seater buses).those guys are just a bunch of killers.

On the lekki épée express this is not under Opeifa's ministry and beyond his pay grade definitely BRF and Jagaban should be held responsible for this. But that does not remove the fact that Lagos is working.

Opeifa's has done a lot in terms of cleaning up the transport system , it is normal for sentiments to flow when reformist are at work. Some people will loose their ability to stay in inertia of their comfort zones
