DropShot: We saw this coming. It's not a news any longer since the only commodity that made us grow on paper has lost more than 60% of its values without us saving for these rainy days.
PMB technically inherited a bleeding economy; an economy effectively in recession.
[size=15pt]ONLY THE IGNORANT OR ILLITERATE LIKE ALL ZOMB.IES WILL BELIEVE THIS LIE YOU HAVE TOLD.
IN MAY 1999 WHEN OBASANJO WAS ELECTED PRESIDENT THE COST OF A BARREL OF CRUDE OIL HAD DROPPED FROM ALMOST 100 DOLLARS TO A MERE 9 DOLLARS AND THE OUT GOING HEAD OF STATE GEN. SALAMI LEFT ONLY 3 BILLION USED IN THE FOREIGN RESERVE BUT OBJ SET OUT TO WORK AND NIGERIANS HAD NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT INFACT HE PAID OFF MOST OF THE DEBT EVENTUALLY.
BUT BUHARI WHO IS EVEN MORE FORTUNATE THAN OBJ AS HE MET THE OIL PRICE ABOVE 30 DOLLARS PER BARREL AND HAD OVER 30 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE FOREIGN RESERVE YET DUE TO SHEAR DULLNESS THE LOT OF NIGERIANS HAVE BEEN MORTGAGED TO FAILING EXPERIMENTS AND EXCUSES.
Acidosis: Dangote deserves outright tax waivers from the Nigerian government.
In this same month, he gave the Borno state govt 2 billion Naira to aid the living conditions of IDPs.
Government corruption masked behind seeming social responsibility is one thing and Tax waiver is another.
Tax waiver on the grounds on philanthropism is the height of irresponsibility and dullness of government. Dangote has his selfish reason for giving to idp in borno what about the idp in agatu and plateau and Enugu? The most he deserves is traditional title from the borno people
If Dangote is you hero please keep you feelings out of objective and formal discuss.
You all need to stop dragging the society backwards with your whims and fancy! Enough already.
By May 1999 when obasanjo was sworn in as elected president taking over from gen Salam.
1-THE PRICE OF CRUDE OIL HAD DROPPED FROM ALMOST 100 DOLLARS TO ONLY 9 DOLLARS
2-HE FOUND 3 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE FOREIGN RESERVE AND 0 IN THE EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNTS
YET NIGERIA WORKED WITHOUT HIM TELLING STORIES
But you Buhari met 30 billion foreign reserve and crude oil 30 dollars a barrel by far better than obj but the country is collapsing on stories And visionless leadership. Shame on you
Acidosis: The Ministry will not do the work, so let's appreciate this. We've being discussing this project since Yar'adua days yet nothing has been done.
Dangote is a businessman, and he needs that road to boost his sales. On completion, we expect to see free movement of trailers, etc.
This project should further reveal the poor performance of the stup!d Senator who turned Ilorin puppet - Senator Smart Adeyemi.
His attempts failed for 8 years. Jonathan constructed more roads than any Nigerian President (says Fashola), yet Senator Smart Adeyemi - the Kogi born - turn - Ilorin Senator and Hotel Management consultant in Kwara could not successfully get this road constructed.
Senator Smart Adeyemi is a failure, a disgrace, and a shame upon his family and his generation. I expect the good people of Kogi West Senatorial district to ban him from Kogi and seize his assets in town, including his uncompleted family house in Iyara.
Unfortunately, the so called good people of the senatorial district have once again elected another Saraki-Ilorin puppet to further propagate and elongate the ineptitude, emptiness and failures of Smart Adeyemi. They felt the PDP blood with Smart Adeyemi was the problem, so they voted the APC dimwit - Dino Melaye. Little did they know that Smart had it all planned out to join APC.
Overall, I appreciate this gesture from Aliko Dangote. He's more valuable than any Kogi Governor or Senator from Igala, Okun or Ebira kingdom. For the records, all the Past governors and senators (put together) are yet to create just a quarter of jobs Dangote has created through the cement factory in Obajana. When the aim is to create ghost workers, our brothers from Igala are 'expert expatriates.'
The so called Hausa man has done what no indigenous wealthy person has done; most of whom are even ashamed and shy to associate with their "people".
These are my views as a blunt realist #Kogi4Life #Proudly_Yagba
You can keep casting aspersions against your kit and kin and also You reserve the right to your views and sentiments, but be objective enough to understand that they may not be the ideal.
As you have claimed here a lot roads roads where awarded and built under GEJ and the ministry responsible for this is the MINISTRY OF WORKS so you are wrong to say the same ministry will not build or oversee the construction of the said road. Due Process and the right thing must be done, it is wrong for DANGOTE to award a federal roads contract to itself and expected to deduct same from his tax you can be sure he will short change the government to his own gain I mean he is after all a businessman.
DANGOTE can use his exposure and influence to easily lobby the passage of a bill to rehabilitate the said road regardless of the representing senator this is the right way to go.
THIS IS GROSS ILLEGALITY . THIS IS A VERY DULL LAZY AND CORRUPT MOVE BY A SO CALLED FG. WHAT HAS BECOME OF DUE PROCESS OF BIDDING FOR GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS THAT ENSURES THAT THE MOST COMPETENT ROUTE IS SELECTED FOR ANY JOB? IS THIS GOVERNMENT OUT SOURCING THE MINISTRY OF WORKS? IS BUHARI ON A MISSION TO FUTHER EMPOWER DANGOTE AS ABACHA DID BY GIVING HIM THE SOLE LICENSE TO IMPORT SALT SUGAR AND RICE AT THE CHAGRIN OF OTHER CITIZENS RIGHT TO ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT? DANGOTE SHOULD EIGTHER PAY ITS TAX AND MINISTRY OF WORK DO ITS CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY OR CHOOSE TO BE SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE AND GIVE BACK TO SOCIETY FREELY... SHAME ON ALL THOSE BLINDED BY POVERTY AND LACK OF TACT.. IF THE MINISTRY OF WORKS UNDER THE CHANGE IS AS INCOMPETENT AS THE FG IS MANIFESTING THEN RESIGNATION IS A NOBLE OPTION FOR ALL CONCERNED.
BrainnewsNg: Speak positively about your president
Ok
Would you prefer I lie against his person? It Buhari who needs to stop speaking negatively against his society and citizen....the evil that men do live with them.
I'm not corrupt just concerned cos. corruption is d norm. in our society today
Like I said earlier it is normal for and your family members and the only exception being Buhari and all those he points out...be mindful not to paint others with your filthy brush.. You and you people will be punished in due course
Believing they are righteous not minding attrocities committed by the next man... Buh quick to condemn those who stand against those attrocities
You seem to be enjoying your "perfect world".. So I wnt bother you Jst so you know.. Cameron didn't lie. It's what they see they say, they dnt suffer & smile
#peace
Your type is the problem of this wicked society you believe every person is as corrupt as you are or understands the need for some corruption for this reason you mad Buhari are not clamoring to resettle agatu people on their land where the murderous invaders are still grazing their cattle 3 month after. Satanic people..
Back to the matter even Cameron admitted inappropriate utterance and withdrew his folly making a uturn...but obviously you regret that he did this cos u are truly corrupt
Why mince words? Nigerians are fantastically corrupt 100% true.. Did Cameron lie? NO
Or how do you explain d billions of dollors shared during d last elections.. Keep deceiving ursef you hear? I dunno wat you people gain painting urselves saints
How many britons or other europeans do you see stashing cash in their homes or carting away with public funds to develop other countries
Continue living in self-denial.. Everyone knows Nigeria is a terribly corrupt nation and God willing We will put a.stop to it
Me my family and many people in this in this unjust society are far from Corrupt, we are God fearing good people who add value to any system....thus we reject that tag...so if you and your family are corrupt and parasitic as you proudly declare... Then SHAME is your lot!!!! You all need to be reoriented and punished in likeness to your crook... Back to the matter Buhari will and is constantly abused and secretly despised by the heads of western nations he goes to bother in his junkets. More of the deserved aspersions on the person of this visionless directionless self acclaimed corruption crusader will be revealed in future even as the society fades into turmoil and disintegration
Since his presence has started irritate the world so much so that the Cameron abused him mercilessly. I am sure he will not be in a hurry to parade his idle effigy around the world anymore.
The group forgot to add that GEJ must be prosecuted for corruption and PDP as a party deregistered by Inec so they can peacefully move to their true love APC....zo.mbies in disguise
Cameron is only echoing buhari's unguarded statements about his country. Many time Buhari has said that Nigerians are corrupt. Foo.lish talk from a like supposed leader
MeAboki: ^^^^^Your hatred wouldn't allow you get sense otherwise you wouldn't be making such ignorant statement. If you want to know about Buhari's position on the alleged herdsmen attacks and lack such information, google is conveniently available to educate you, instead of following blindly like sheep exhibiting such ignorant hateful trash.
bettercreature: Matthew 13:9 He that has ears, let him hear. Those Niger/delta touts are calling for war The fact still remains i will not send food to the people of Niger/delta atleast not in this life if war break out as a result of the reckless attitude of the avengers and their supporters The good people of N/D must speak out before its too late
the nd feeds you and your government and you talk about sending food to who? what impunity coming from a parasi.te? anyway all this is stoping before your very eyes. resist it and suffer alot more than hunger.
Chiwude: @Ugomba, don't worry as far as the Igbo nation still stands Aniomaland, Igbo rivers etc shall never fall into their drunk ND republic. Ijaws can carry along with them their Edoid brothers, but any incursion into our lands shall be dealt with.
ijaws and igbos have a common destiny like two hands of a body....NDA has part of it terms for truce as the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kanu. both groups share a common destiny and love for each other... try something else.. hausaman is trying to divide and rule se/ss... amadioha punish you and Ugomba
VulgarVulvas: You can have Edo for all I care but Delta is never Odua.
Stop trying to use itsekiris as a beach head into Delta as they won't agree to your lies.
If you must know it is from this same Delta State all these militancy began.
If you think the average Ijaw, Itsekiri , Isoko, kwale or Urhobo will betray their unity to each other over you vile reptiles to the west then you are deluded.
Ugomba: Just want to make it brief... The Niger Delta leaders like Edwin Clark etc are Greedy and they helped in increasing poverty in ND. now answer me, What have Bayelsa with just 8 local governments achieve with Billions of naira they are being given in allocation monthly? They use it to sponsor Militants, Cultists, Touts and to settle godfathers. -look at my state Delta, with two corrupt past governors, Ibori and Uduaghan. Stop the trash! Niger Delta Leaders are the Problem of Niger Delta and Finally, Count Anioma Land out of these Niger Delta Republic map, we are not interested to be a nation that will be ruled by greedy criminals! Thankz
my brother anima must never be part of ND or BIafra as you are odua state
omenka: The story says "suspected herdsmen" and the title says "herdsmen". In no part of the body of the story was "Fulani" mentioned, but the op just had to give his own preferred title "Fulani herdsmen" and it was moved to the fp without due diligence.
Seun, Mynd44, Lalasticlala, you people should play your part in addressing this stereotype. This nonsense is being promoted while you guys look the other way.
JUDAS....LOOK AT THE SET THAT KILLED YOUR PEOPLE IN AGATU TAKING OFF FROM THE RIVER NIGER BANK OF NASSARAWA STATE....YET YOU CONTINUE TO GIVE THEM COVER? DONT WORRY THEY WILL COME AGAIN TO YOU VERY OWN VILLAGE WHEN YOU ARE HOME..
salykely: What about the Hausa man who was roasted by Igbo youth? No one is condemning this retaliatory attacks. No one is telling Igbo people what they did to poor hausa families who have lived in their mist is bad! All I keep hearing in this forum from SE extract is hailing of the governor who even went further to inaugurate an inglorious ethnic militia that will help in killing Hausa/Fulani people in case of crises. A governor who have decided to profile Hausa/Fulani within his domain. Let everyone keep in record the attitude and response of this governor to this incident. If Kano alone should respond in like stupidity, the entire SE won't have the resources to accommodate the in flow of Igbo refugees. In civilized countries, those who burnt that hausa man to death would be brought to justice. The man was not sentenced to death, he was not allowed to defend himself in a court of law. He was killed by Igbo mob without hearing his own side of the story. Until death, the law of his land presumed him innocent.
Is it that you missed the part where it is said the the hausa/fulani lynched was the person who arranged for the hausa/fulani soldier that killed the butchers.... or are you just being wicked.... I never thot i will see the day that the blood thirsty hausa man will play victim... is it today that IGBO in the north started getting killed? even if for cartoon against mohammed in far away denmark... or in protest of beauty peagent or in revolt against reinhard bonke christain crusade even in protest of a torn piece of quran seen to be used as toilet paper..IGBOS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE NORTH IN THEIR HUNDREDS and not one murderer has been prosecuted...remeber Mr Akalauka who was beheaded on the orders of the current emir of kano sanusi and nothing come of this evil... and so the hausa feel the can now come to the south east and test the waters, first enugu and nothing happened then they move to Aba and there is mild reaction prompting you to scream injustice.. this country is truly a ZOO.. all this evil must stop!!!
the governmet will not relent on its hunt of opposition instead of adressin real issues...if it continues like this there will be no society to jail them in..
TedBaker: By a hausa man, or fulani herdsman? SE don't 4get the biggest of commandement is LOVE, why do we have grave hatred 4 dis hausa's, even if its nt a hausa, dem go say na hausa, wwe get igbo brodas n sistas 4 north oo
brohters and sister in the north who they kill at will. And now the bring the killing spree to the east? And you are preacching love?
The NDA Niger delta avengers are a crop of very educated minds on a noble quest for non negotiable justice...their press release (NNPC or the Police could not have articulated and better) claiming responsibility for the impoverishing blast, speaks volumes of their pedigree...their only demand is a national conference for every component of nigeria to opine on the future and ultimately true federralism and resource control... It is not a bad thing to seek control of one destiny and to dialogue..
DonBobes: THERE IS NO DIPLOMACY WITH RIFFRAFFS, THEY WILL BE TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS! as there are no pact btw lions & men.
Buhari had since two week gone. deployed all the military chiefs and high commnad to ND to give militant the bokoharam treatment.. And still all this is happening and more explosion of deafening poverty will happen...poverty will sonn creep into the FG and buhari's foriegn trip will definately come to a good stop... And people like u will feel hunger pangs...unles buhari begs and appeases the goose that lays the golden egg.,. It appeasment is totaal resource control... Will greed let FG make the right decision and save you injustice must alway meet its end... I believe that of your society has founds its stop..
