The first significant attack on American interest was their Embassy bombing that took over 250 lives, the weak democrats bombed a few taliban strong holds and ran away, dissatisfied Americans spoke with their votes and enthroned the Republicans.
Republican means war!!
The 2001 Election was a clear indication that the American people did not forgive Bill Clinton for the 1997 attacks.

And the republican government stopped the attacks on the WTC, pentagon and the near attack on the whitehouse right

Do you have stats of people who died under the watch of OBJ, Buhari, Babangida?

Whose watch are you benchmarking these stats with?

I know they are humans and all precious but nobody except God has 100% control over death

It would be good both parties are objective during their campaigns and talks; it would help us all

If supporters of both parties can be objective, it actually lends credence to their points rather than GMB is evil or GEJ has done nothing Supporters should also learn how to keep quiet or point out when their candidate errs.

It is disgusting to read someone support something that is clearly wrong.

Peace to Nigeria

I am banking? I am not a gambler? I come to this place to discuss ideas not myself.Whether I am a gambler or a fisherman is my business but more importantly is irrelevant
You made a bogus claim which you have failed to substantiate and for me that is the end of that.

I do not know what I have said to suggest I am banking on anything,I am not. If you did not comprehend what you read that is unfortunate.

never mind, just read the post, your previous post which I was referring to, maybe I should have highlighted the part of the post I was referrencing.

The idea of bannng rice and tomatoes is a silly one. I am sure in the fulness of time if the man wins wisdom will prevail. If the goverment really wants to discourage imports a more effective tool is Naira devaluation though this would tend too favour the wealthy.
I do not particularly expect a president to be knowledgeable or a good economist. What is important is the capacity to set the direction,to choose the right team and to have the interest of the nation genuinely at heart. Where there are significant personal interests that conflict with national interest among key actors in any government there will be problems.That is likely to be the case whoever wins. Without necessarily criticizing Jonathan his team of the last 4 years has been a disaster. I think if he wins for Nigeria to really move forward he should consider getting close to half of his team from the other side. Nigeria is very divided right now and the primary job of any winner would be to heal. Any form of triumphalism could be disastrous. One problem Jonathan has is that he ,like many southerners, has not interacted with many northerners on a personal level though in his case I think his interaction even in the south was limited prior to assuming office and so when it came time to choose his team he was stranded. A typical example is his choice of Finance Minister,a decision probably made with his wife.

Now you're banking on wisdom prevailing if he wins, I thought you weren't a gambler?

Any better way to describe PDP's achievement in road construction other than this pix?

Which road is that?

omonnakoda:
I know that your claim is false. I do not intend to engage in any childishness.
This is quite a serious discussion. You came on and said MANY COUNTRIES SPEND FAR MORE THAN NIGERIA'S ANNUAL BUDGET X 3 years in ONE YEAR on agricultural subsidy. Generally National budget should mean just that NATIONAL but I am giving you some leeway and restricting myself to the FG budget which last year X 3 was about $78 billion. Now I am saying NOT ONE COUNTRY IN OUR MILKY WAY <NOT ONE> spends that much on agricultural subsidy but you are claiming that many do and even named them. So it is time to put up or forever..............

Oh! Now you think you know

Hmmm, its funny the things we think we know but then find out we never knew

Anyways, if you're sport enough, take up my challenge.

omonnakoda:
You might want to do that with my son

Do you or don't you?
I'll give you the references to the required information when you're ready

omonnakoda:
with respect sir IT IS NOT TRUE FOR ANY COUNTRY. By the way what is your definition of a "far greater tune"

Rather than spouting assertions can you provide a source for your assertions. I do not accept that the US spends $78 billion on agricultural subsidies however you claim they spend more "BY A FAR GREATER TUNE". What is the source of this claim
In 2014 the CAP budget for the entire EU was 95 billion Euros not all of the budget is "SUBSIDY" . How much did the greatest beneficiary get ie payments to farmers there is a significaant bureaucratic cost involved in spending and monitoring that money . We would NOT define the Ministry of Agriculture budget as subsidy in Nigeria either.

Do you want to place a bet on it?

Oooooooh!!!!

omonnakoda:
Nigeria's national budget x 3 in one year? Many nations.really? not sure what you mean by NATIONAL whether this is the FG or the entire nation .Let us assume it is the FG which is the lower figure last year about $26 billion x 3 = $78 billion.

You are telling us that MANY nations have agricultural subsidies TO A FAR GREATER TUNE than $78 billion dollars annually

with respect sir that is simply untrue. I will just assume you were indulging in a little hyperbole. Having said that even with subsidies there are many products that countries with high subsidies cannot or do not produce across board e. Rice,Cocoa,Cassava,to name a few. Nigeria without subsidy and using a not very efficient model has one of the largest population of cattle in the world.
There are still many products where we can compete or even dominate we have many environmental advantages That lace us among leader in Palm oil,cashew,groundnut and even tomato production.
2nd tier countries like Nigeria CAN COMPETE provided they have a strategy.
Israel is a World leader in agriculture farming in what is largely dessert an making products that compete internationally. Our immediate objective should be to feed ourselves and in that regard it would be hard for foreigners to compete with us in the Nigerian market if we adopt the right policies a major one of which would be Naira devaluation. Our medium term goals should be to trade with our neighbours and to do that we need to improve efficiency in storage,packaging and logistics

Brazil is the world's largest exporter of chicken even though they cannot compete with US on subsidies. It is worth noting that not every farming product benefits from subsidies

Okay yes, I indulged in a little hyperbole but essentially, it is still true with the U.S, australia, am not sure about canadA and russia, relatively true about france, italy, germany or should i continue reeling these names?
Bottom line is what they sink into their agricultural sector under different disguises to keep it afloat and competitive internationally and most likely because of votes from workers in that sector dwarfs our budget in a few cases, rivals our budget in many others.

olas24u:
You write up agrees with what i mentioned .and we are saying the same thing,it cheaper to produce in other lands because they have the infrastructure thats supports production .You can encourage local production also by allowing an increased tariffs that will benefit local producers,Labour cost is still cheap in Nigeria . The government is the problem as refused to support manufacturers all over Nigeria from All the industrial areas they are all closed.why?Kano industrial areas,kaduna industrial areas,Lagos and Ogun industrial areas why?It is largely government.And lastly i never told you i know it all .but i feel so much pain that i supported GEJ and he betrayed the trust and never gave back.

You still don't appreciate what subsidy can actually mean or amount to in the west, many times, it amounts to the government paying you the cost of production of that produce in effect buying it without actually buying it, leaving the farmers to sell the already paid for produce at dirt cheap prices internationally for a little extra profit.
Now tell me, how can Nigeria or Africa realistically compete against that?

Now, I like your style of ignoring me.......

You just keep ignoring me in a manner that ends up getting my attention , very crafty girl, crafty and sly
Oh wait!!!!

rhymz:
While you are busy wishing it and talking all fine and dandy, the reality is that Nigeria does not have the competitive edge to stand shoulder to shoulder with foreign brands, that is the fact. I am sure you still eat imported frozen livestock, yet you have the option of buying locally grown chicken that are like twice the cost of the original. In the international market, African farmers are still clamoring for foreign governments especially those of the WEST to stop heavily subsidizing Agricultural production as it puts them in a disadvantaged position. Do you know how many billions of dollars that go into the subsidization of wheat in America alone? They are number one in Flour production for a reason, this is a country that produce more than 35% of the world's flour. It is not by being hardworking my guy, there is no country that do not have hard working people, we are talking about smart government policy and not the archaic nonsense Buharis and his bunch of political hangers-on are regurgitating since time immemorial.

The dude is yet to understand what agricultural subsidies means, he is yet to understand that many of those nations subsidise agriculture to a tune far greater than Nigeria's national budget for 3years on a yearly basis, he is yet to understand what genetically modified(GM) products are and how it impoverishes 3rd world farmers despite their governments best intentions
In short, the dude is clueless!!!

Newkidoo:
Try to be reasonable for once!
I said i support him on banning the importation of this goods but the local farmers must be encouraged first and how can this be achieved.
You are so biased and irrational!
who told you local farmers can't compete with imported brands. stop all this your nonsense and be reasonable for once..
nigeria has one of the best citizens ever and with proper motivation and encouragement, we can be the best!
the technology you talk about, if local farmers are well funded with improved technology provided to them, you will see the difference in two to three years. don't just sit in your house and think Nigerians can't compete with other developed nations. it requires great thinking and time. if we keep importing all these all our life, with time local foods will become extinct. With your mindset, am sure we won't be able achieve anything ourselves. must we depend on other nations or must we follow the footsteps of other nations.. let us think and achieve things ourselves. Nigeria has the potential of being the best out of all nations. we just need the right set of leaders at the helm of affairs..

What he was trying to tell you is that whatever buhari calls "plans" are already in place already being done by Jonathan so we are saying that Buhari should bring a completely new idea of his own, not one already in place by Jonathan

Lagos is already doing is best because the size of the economy is growing and they dont need to wait for clueless people to see 50 years from today.Lagos is on track .it will become a mega city.If APC comes into power you will see transformation and quality people in government,thinkers and idea creators .I taught a Phd person will put thinkers to use ,but even the worst military regime is far better than what we have at the moment.The poverty is just too much.

Lagos is doing her best yet you complain that some industrial estates are being turned to churches? Would you have accepted the same explanation for the FG? That they are doing their best? Why the hypocrisy and double standards?
When it was the FG, it was either they are producing enough or not producing enough, no doing their best, now that it is the state government, you're telling me they are doing their best abi.
So to your knowledge, lagos is on track but Nigeria isn't on track abi I know you hate Jonathan and the PDP, but why should that mean you won't give him his due credit and continually lie to yourself that he is doing nothing? Lying is a sin oh! Remember.
A phd holder that has made Nigerias economy the 26th largest in the world with a plan to make it among the top 20 in the next 10 years is somebody with a plan that obviously puts thinkers to good use so I disagree with your assertion.
And whatever credit you give to lagos state you're indirectly giving to the FG because lagos state doesn't exist in limbo but is rather a reflection of our current economic strength which in case you don't know, is significant

sanmibukunmi:
You can ensure that the product is first produce before importing it if what u wana put a ban on is not something well known to be produce in your country...nigeria is not a known manufacturer of cars so there is need to ensure all factors are on ground and are able to meet the demand here...but for tha case of food products like rice tomato etc 70 percent of rural dwellers know a lot of how to cultivate these. Even in urban areas, 1 in every 3 compound has a tomato garden at his backyard. That means these products are very well known and there is not much to be done in ensuring its demand is meet. What the govt needs to do is just to provide or create avenues for processing them ..simple. You can't compare car manufacutring to rice and tomato cultivation.

Assumptions are dangerous things when applied to planning and policy making my friend and that is why there is a discipline called statistics that puts paid to popular opinions, myths and assumptions in all works of life.

Assuming 70% of rural dwellers will take to rice farming to meet our demand is a fallacy my friend.
Now, let's discuss facts
Fact- Nigeria can not locally meet up with demand for rice not for the next 5years irrespective of how meticulous and good intentioned the president is in planning, that is why banning importation must be a gradual process and therein the obvious difference in terms of education between jonathan and buhari is exposed!
Fact- automobiles are being manufactured in Nigeria already (trucks, buses, trailers especially) by a company somewhere around aba, I'm not sure of the exact location, that same company intends to release its first range of cars either this or next year. Assembly of cars is still being done in Nigeria (mercedes and Peugeot I think, I'm not too sure we are still assemblying volkswagen's anymore) and though the government can't coerce you to patronise any of these products, they can start by patronising them themselves and they are doing that already!
Fact- dangote is currently building one of the biggest tomato processing plants in Africa to go into operation either this or next year and then you can realistically talk about placing high tariffs on imported tomatoes not even ban yet

Arbitrary bans are regressional especially when associated with lack of planning like buhari is proposing, fact is, he has no original ideas, he's only endorsing GEJ's works so you see, change is a gradual and constantly evolving process, not some overnight decisions taken at an autocrat's whims and pleasures for punitive purposes.

olas24u:
You banned and look inwards and become efficient and not killing local markets.for instance you buy Southafrican chicken in a southafrican shops in Nigeria.does that make sense.what will happen to the farmers.You wear imported shoes !Thats a huge market of 170million people that have to wear shoes ,if you close the borders people will wear what is produced in Nigeria and you will make the shoe manufacturer richer to buy more machines and expand and create more jobs.when you buy italian shoes you take the money back to the manufacturer in italy Not the Nigeria

Have you heard about agricultural subsidies in the west?
Do you think that apart from garri, yam and beans, there is any other staple food that we can produce that will be cheaper than the imported ones?
Even the chicken is produced far more cheaply in south africa compared to us thanks to agRicultural subsidies
Do you think that our government can afford to subsidise agriculture like the west?
Being idealistic is one thing, being realistic is another
Study up dear, it will help put things in perspective for you.

olas24u:
Southwest region will need up 40,000 megatwatts of electricity if you dont know ,but Gej is celebrating 4,000 megatwatts for the whole of Nigeria.Lagos needs 10,000 megatts and they get only 900 megatwatts from the federal .Lagos powers all the key sectors in Lagos that improve the social and economic conditions of the people.The government hospitals have arrangements to provide them with stable lights because of human life.You dont need the lights out during surgery as PDP as killed many people over the years

Don't you understand what I'm saying?
The FG has washed their hands of production and distribution, all they now do is regulation of prices.
The state governments that have been shouting about how clueless jonathan has been should go and produce it for themselves, let Lagos for example, go and produce her 10,000 megawatts herself and see how easy it is to produce. And supply power!!
Chikena!!
