Okonjo-Iweala is a bad luck to Nigeria economy

Your ranting ignores the fact that her stated fiscal policy, allied to CBN's monetary policy has made Nigeria pre-eminent in Africa economically. Has attracted a record $8 billion dollars in foreign direct investment (FDI), etc. Intellectual midgets come here and accuse her of low intelligence and cluelessness, yet they will be hard pushed to walk in a straight line unaided.

Talking about unproven accusation which is said that was the reason sanusi was sacked what happened to the freedom of speech

Freedom of speech stop where malicious lies rears it's ugly head. Try out this experiment. Go to the nearest market (preferably in Kano or Sokoto )and shout that you are a suicide bomber. Come back to this forum and tell us what the market traders made of your freedom of speech. It is right that the freedom of speech entitles you to offend other Nigerians, but your speech must not be pernicious or hateful. Conceptually, we must respect others, if we expect similar courteous response.

omonnakoda:
A simple question of fact Where is the FG share no diversionary slogans.
Yes the governors insisted in getting their share and the FG made their budget on a lower benchmark so WHERE IS THE SURPLUS

Surplus? Methinks you are being mischievous. Recurrent expenditures on things like salaries alone swallow up most of the cash. Yet the federal civil and public services are embarking on strike soon if their remuneration is not increased again by the rate of inflation. Does oil subsidy ring a bell, SURE-P, etc? GEJ must raise more money from tax or some thing for his manifesto or it will not be implemented. Put it another was, bankrupt Greece generate more cash than Nigeria. Food for thought. It is right to be oppositional, but lace your criticism with facts.

Wscholar:
dejt4u, OP I don't think you are okay at all. what did soludo say that you termed "shameless". is it a taboo for him to air his views cos I am very sure he knows more than u in that regard.
he never said anything rudely and all what he pointed out are what the presidency needs to address. If u re being hired always endeavor to use your initiatives before u run your mouth.

Are we not living witnesses to the disaster that Oceanic bank, inter continental, citizens bank, etc which Soludo oversaw turned into? Are we not aware that despite debt pardon, running to $70 billions by the Paris club, IMF and world Bank, that there was no infrastructure to show for all oil and non oil earnings during OBJ/Soludo years? How could you forget that NOI was the finance minister at the pertinent time? NOI was angry that Soludo was trying to rewrite history. You, like most Nigerians have short memory. Was it not thirty years ago that buhari was killing people by hangings, firing squad, willy Nelly unjustifiably? Yet today he is the messiah who will fix the oil price, fix the petroleum price, pave the streets of ABA, lokoja, suleja and 40 cities across Nigeria in gold? Soludo lied, was rude to NOI, and should apologise for his pernicious lies.

omonnakoda:
The FG share is 53% what happened to that? Even if the governors took their share there should still be at least HALF left. Where is it

You are out of touch. Try harder next time.

This rebuttal to Soludo's hatchet job is timely, pithy, frank and conclusive. Of all the responses to the former CBN governor, this one got to the heart of the matter. I expected a response from NOI next week. But this response 48 hours after Soludo's critique of NOI's management of the economy, suggest to me that NOI was expecting this and had a response ready. Hopefully Soludo will get NOI's epic rebuttal and rethink his strategy. After all NOI was Soludo's boss, while the former was CBN governor. Soludo must resist any attempt to commit career suicide. It takes two ..........

Why don't the KOKO master, kokolee, bangalee sell one or two Bentley to offset his debt. Anyway, he is a star. He should not have allowed himself to be swallowed up by the 'gold digger' rapper. Next time, he should play it like Rihanna. Collaborate on your own turf. That way, you retain your mojo, whilst keeping it real.

Professor Soludo is wrong to write about Nigeria economy without reference to the challenging times faced by this administration. Lest we forget, OBJ administration was arguably the worst administration that started the vicious circle that has hobbled the current administration. What was the state of power, water, healthcare, education, roads, Internet, essentially utilities and infrastructure? What about the human rights abuses in ZAKI biam, odi, etc? Nigerians here are strangely applauding mediocrity and graft.

Soludo has tried his damnedest best to insult our collective intelligence. OBJ and Soludo sold off anything that was not bolted down to their cronies. Soludo and other OBJ advisers 'invested' our money in choice properties across the world to the detriment of Nigeria masses. This very Soludo is living in a 12 million dollar House as we speak. To Soludo, I say riddance to bad rubbish. You are as corrupt as OBJ. After all Ngozi okonjo-iweala was a minister during OBJ administration, and therefore Soludo's boss. Yet he is using coded allusion to suggest that she is now clueless, because he is no longer in the corridors of power. Gloating that he was seeing OBJ everyday. JONATHAN is right to delegate, as done in Europe and US, not the cabal foisted on us by OBJ and yar Adua.

As for APC vs PDP. APC is relying on the fact that people are fed up with PDP, is not necessarily conclusive. APC has no costed manifesto, but toxic wish list which will clobber nigerians for a generation.

You have used the photo of Patti Boulaye. That is not Rosalind BALOGUN, olorun.

Looking for sympathy votes. Cheats. Plant the bombs and accuse JONATHAN? We are too much for that one.

APC again?

BT and telecom companies in Europe does not collect money or advertise political parties during election. Why is that good for nothing Islamic lawyer working himself up? What about all the money that TINUBU has stolen from Lagos? Buhari should sell his houses in London, etc to fund his campaign.

Violent by nature. I thought their youth wing, boko haram has monopoly over bestiary, but I can see that their leadership are also touts. May this APC foot soldier rest in peace

CaptainAmerica1:
For the umpteenth time;


and I say again; try reading, it helps.

You have a problem? Go to Cambridge in U.K and confirm. Else, don't say anything.

I am in UK at the moment, and Cambidge has said that Buhari was never a candidate any time.

WisdomFlakes:
If you are not satisfied, go and choke on cyanide, or cast your vote against the General. But your plan has failed! You people are afraid he'll beat Jona like a drum at the polls so you think you can have him disqualified?? You are jokers, I tell you.

It is troubling that airheads like you come here to express unqualified statements here. I feel sorry for your parents for having a useless, mindless troll as a child.

CaptainAmerica1:
Retard.



Try reading before talking, it helps.

From an APC lobbied school principal Abi? We are boys.

This has created new problems. WAEC/WASC board does not have Buhari record. This is very fishy indeed. This 419 cannot stand. WAEC/WASC over to you.

Abayhormy:
mumu, can't you see it signed 21/01/2015? that is the statement of result. Can't you see his passport there is also a recent passport ? The original including that of the other classmates were also published. Why don't you post a copy of that. DO you expect his school to print certificat? Are they Cambridge or waec ? they scanned and published the original record sheet.

This beggars belief. No WAEC/WASC in there. What does these arse licking nonces take nigerians for? I am beginning to get angry with Buhari and APC for bringing Nigeria to ridicule.

sunkoye:
The rabid dogs can just eat that now and remain silent forever.

This is not academic records. There is no WAEC / WASC there. This is 419, to call this academic record. You must be joking.

Demdem:

Pain-ment becos I asked u to go to court? U aren't making sense.

"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?"

Now that it is very clear that Buhari cannot do the needful, then apologise and hold your head in shame. When I remember what you and your co-travellers did to Stella Oduah, I feel a bit of violent rage to midgets like you. Hypocrites and time wasters.

Good news goodluck

obal2:
The 1999 Constitution is explicit in its interpretation of Section 131 of the 1999 Constitution by Section 318.
Section 131 states: “A person shall be qualified for election to the office of President if (a) he is a citizen of Nigeria by birth; (b) he has attained the age of forty (40) years; (c )he is a member of a political party; and (d) he has been educated up to at least School Certificate level or its equivalent.
“In Section 318, School certificate or equivalent means
(a) a Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or
(b) education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or
(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and (i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the National Electoral Commission for a minimum of 10 years; and
“(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the National Electoral Commission for periods totalling up to a minimum of one year, and
“(iii) the ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English Language to the satisfaction of the National Electoral Commission; and
“(d) Any other qualification acceptable by INEC.”

Verdict. BUHARI is qualified to contest.

"When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?" By Maynard Keynes.

Dump Buhari sharp sharp.

tess1:
Go and employ the services of a lawyer and take him to court to show you his certificate.

Are you not wondering why PDP and the Attorney general of the federation haven`t taken the case to court since last year that this issue began? It is because they know that they will lose the case if they do.

The constitution is very clear on the issue. He can even present his say he schooled up to primary six and he`ll still contest the election.

the court has been on strike. Otherwise .....

barcanista:
Click on my moniker, click on the latest of my thread and read my position. Pls relax

You are now marooned in morass. Stinking, belligerent liar.

Demdem:

And u are very foolish.
Ur wish surely can't come to past. That's settled.

It is settled that he has no WASC/WAEC. First division or otherwise. The more that Buhari speaks, the more ridiculous APC looks. He knows the 'number' but no certificate. The body language of kwakwanso and Osibanjo is devastating. It is like being at a funeral. It is Fitting that this is the funeral for Buhari's political and military career. C'est le vie

Demdem:

Fool, go to court and spare me ur rants. U sound like a broken record already.

It is you that sound like a ridiculously broken record. Genuflect as much as you want, Buhari is no longer a presidential candidate. We are not OBJ who will trust this particular MALLAM. Game over

OrlandoOwoh:
How many debates has Jonathan taken part in?

Don't digress. Your messiah is looking, seeming and stinking of good old fashioned hypocrisy and 419. Like the godfather of 419. Please repudiate all 419 and corrupt practices

corneli83:
Well said. If you present a sworn affidavit and I see from your CV that you will promote my company, I will take the stress to contact ur previous employer to confirm if they actually employed you with or without presentation of your certificate or simply contact the exam body if your previous employer later denies having your certificate after confirming he has the photocopies. Let's not sell our brains for porridge. Can't wait to see feBUHARI.

Semantics. Have you seen the presidential candidature form? It appears that you are not conversant with the requirements. You should withdraw you pet try and trivial conjectures. It is embarrassing to witness APC DISSEMBLING. Nigeria is bigger than APC. GHANA AND SOUTH AFRICANS ARE LAUGHING AT OUR EXPENSE. Buhari must stop this arrant nonsense

Demdem:

Fool, Buhari is more than qualified. The reason why ur kind has refused to go to court.

You are very dishonest. He should just withdraw dishonourably, before it is too late. Beleaguered APC.

tuyi19:
the constitution did not say WASC is the Requirement but minimum requirement, if you have other qualification above that, you are eligible.

WASC is the foundation. He swore affidavit that he has the WASC. That is what matters. He does not look credible at the moment.

Suljosh:
is that what your father told you? All this while he did not probe why now? When election is at the corner, he's trying to impress right? Well, it is too late for him. One way or another he will be kicked out. As for me, I want nigeria to brake up now.

Your wish is what it is. The same as boko haram. No chance of success.

Demdem:

Show u, because u are what? What does the law says?

An otherwise straightforward issue is being explained in riddles, presumptions and evasive suppositions about a sterling military career which no one is in doubt of anyway. The doubt, however, comes from the foundation on which the referenced career was built. I have even read in some quarters that he holds a diploma certificate from United States Army War College. Well, to those arguments, I say as it is said in legal parlance, ex nihilo nihil fit, which means, something cannot stand on nothing or better still, something can only stand on something.
The constitutional qualification for a candidate to be eligible to stand for presidential election is a minimum of secondary school certificate or its equivalent. Otherwise, that person is deemed ineligible. As things stand now, Buhari’s eligibility is being questioned and all we get are emotive career profile responses spanning a lifetime, rising to the very pinnacle of the military as Head of State and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.
