9jaRealist: If a press freedom and free speech was the issue in those countries.... The likes of Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, Canada, the US, UK, etc., would be in flames. SMH >
Thegeneralqueen: If care is not taken Buhari will soon suspend this country called Nigeria without knowing it
So it is true you actually use your brain to mop floors and not for what it is meant for. This your comment is from the floor of a beer parlour where you are Queen
Emmyloaded: Here is a video of Chief Asari Dokubo calling governor Wike an Idiot, Lunatic. This came just after Gov. Wike insulted the Kalabari Monarch known as the Amanyanabo of Kalabari kingdom.
nairalanduseles: At a time no time........freedom fighters NEVER make threats ......we fight for justice...........I leave you to your conscience keep supporting evil......last u will hear from me
nairalanduseles: Jew man dey always talk too much.......... u go see wetrin go happen .........before this year runs out ....when evil befall ur immidiate family remember me......no ne everybody dem dey pala for..........using English in a very wrong way ....shows you have complex.........person
decadent loathsome rogue save your stupid talk for when you eventually have some sense. See who is claiming i have complex when the coward began making death threats from nowhere
Small boy you are as minutely irrelevant as a whisper in the midst of thunder clap.
Damod88: It is funny. I guessed u never described Buhari the way you do now prior to the Punch decision. What if tomorrow Punch decides to apologize to the president and withraws the previous decision, will you also do likewise? Man you are old enough to have your own opinion without being influenced by any decision another person makes for whatever reason. Be yourself and stop being dictated to.
trutht828: [s]If not that you have sold your soul to foolishness, you would have realised that you sound stupid each time you think everyone who opposes the APC can only be a member of the PDP. Now, that's Dumbness personified.[/s]
Lying unfortunate PDP cretin who is now so ashamed of that cesspit he is desperately denying the thieving party. Why na?
Did they loot your allawee as well as your brain? I think they did both.
trutht828: Yeah, I made a mistake and I am humble enough to accept my mistakes. But you, are you ever humble enough to accept that you have lost your humanity? And that you are not better than any of the corrupt dogs in the PDP?
You mean the corrupt dogs in your party right? The ones you are hell bent on denying like the lying frustrated soul you are right? Only those who have lost their humanity so brazenly the way you do
jaytee01: Your stupid comments cut no ice here. The fact remains that we will see the back of your senile tyrant whether he likes it or not. As for you, the BMC stipends for supporting stupidity will take you nowhere.
Your dead brain needs a new OS because the current one has been corrupted. The fact remains that you paid wailers are trying so hard to justify your WMC stipends so you support stupidity thinking it will take you somewhere.
jaytee01: So because it happened under Jonathan, Major General Buhari (Rtd) must follow suit.
Can you imagine how stupid that sounds?
You forgot to include DICTATOR to his name.
The reminder of it happening in the time of Jonathan is a reminder to you wailers that we know you guys are the ones trying to push the wrong narrative as if this has never happened before and is like a fresh incidence in our democracy.
Personally i would forgive a former military leader if he did this but would never forgive a civilian for doing same because that civilian is supposed to be a "genuine" embodiment of democracy but JONATHAN FAILED WOEFULLY.
So based on this, Major General Dictator Buhari is a much better human in his regime.
What has buhari contributed to our democracy, you dolt? Has he not always been part of those seeking to destroy it? Or you want proof of that, you sycophant.
M0r0n like i said, jumpstart your brain and put it to use.
nairalanduseles: Am not failed i leave in the states I have a career And just bought a house I get sad when i see people like you trying to justify failure...... You won't know what success is even if it is staring in your face.... U are pathetic and your family ahould be ashamed of you.... I weep for your unborn kids
I guess you think i live in Nigeria you this cursed soul
My family are comfy beyond words.
Those who know me know me while you remain a curse along with the rest of your generation.
May shame be your garment and frustration your bed
nairalanduseles: Are you being serious here .......u compare communist countries with Nigeria........FYI.......under this regime there is no freedom of speech ......not only for journalist fpr everybody are u happy with the state of affairs...
All government agencies have gone crazy and you justify this administration because you have not lost any journalist in your family Because your sister has not been killed by Sara It will never bw well with you and your entire generation.......I hope you encounter this animals you support....maybe when sars robs you .....u will think logically
You, your children and their Children, Your entire Generation are cursed beyond redemption. You will all carry the weight of this curse like an anvil never to be removed as it causes you all to waste away.
Since your frustrated soul has pushed you to stupidly curse me simply because i do not share your view then you and your generation are cursed to be a blight to this earth and will roam this earths dry and dusty places financially, materially and socially.
You all shall be a byword and a reproach as long as the sun rises and sets.
nairalanduseles: Sad thing is you think you are smart......people can not feed in Nigeria.......leave all them statistics.....i have travelled to lots of countries.........no doubt Nigeria is one of the poorest countries with people suffering no social amenities and you come here to say this ...... Be very careful do not say this on the street you will be lynched......... People are suffering in Nigeria it is no joke ... please refrain from this silly stuff ...... Only a fool justifies failures Call it what it is
NIGERIA IS A FAILED STATE
Sad thing is that you do not even know you are dumb. The article clearly gave how rankings are arrived at yet you chose to spew idiocy.
Please refrain from trying to push your idiocy in my face.
Only a fool refuses to task his brain to understand a simple article.
Oyo state governor, Engr. Seyi Makinde on Thursday sent list of names of nominees for caretaker chairmen and sole administrators for the 33 local governments and 35 Local Council Development Areas ( LCDAs) in the state, against the order of the state High Court, restraining the governor and the state House of Assembly from dissolving local governments and appointment of caretaker chairmen.
Though the names of the nominees are yet to be known, the state House of Assembly is expected to screen the nominees on Monday 16 December, as a matter of urgency before proceeding on annual recess on 17 December.
A source close to the state House of Assembly disclosed to The Nation that governor Makinde has resolved all lingering issues that have delayed constituting the caretaker chairmen, including all existing legal bottlenecks.
But, the Association of Local government Chairmen of Nigeria (ALGON), Oyo State has decried the action of the governor over the planned appointment of caretaker Chairmen for the council areas in the state by Governor Seyi Makinde.
ALGON Chairman in the State, Prince Ayodeji Abass – Aleshinloye described the plan as tales by moonlight on grassroots Democratic Governance.
According to Abass-Aleshinloye, the Governor’s plan is a tale better told to the un-informed and co-deceptive wreckers of the democratic Culture.
The ALGON Chairman described democracy as a seed that germinates and develops on the practice and strict adherence to the rule of law and a willingness to entrench the democratic culture by its proponents.
“So far, Gov. Makinde’s undemocratic disposition and flagrant disobedience, with impunity, of court orders by illegally dissolving constitutional bodies, elected democratic local government structures, breaches of contractual obligations, in Oyo State clearly shows a despotic government. Perhaps the governor may want democracy, but it appears his spirit is too weak to take the necessary courageous steps to be on the right path for its evolution”, he said.
[b]Abass-Aleshinloye drew the Governor’s attention to the subsisting judgments of the Supreme Court that declared as illegal, null and void, any dissolution of elected local government councils by state governors and state assemblies.
“The governor is fully aware of this and the specific judgement of the Oyo State High Court, which re-emphasized same and restrained the Oyo State governor and House of Assembly from dissolving local governments and appointment caretaker chairmen.
“Gov. Makinde did not only consciously flout these subsisting court orders / judgements, he also took other dangerous steps by illegally dissolving OYSIEC, a constitutional body with a specified tenure provided by our constitution. To add salt to the injury, His Excellency moved a notch further in acts of illegality by seeking to bribe members, through monetisation, of OYSIEC dissolution which has raised both moral and legal questions as to the reckless use of tax payers’ money for illegal, selfish and partisan ends.[/b]
“This Governor continues with reckless abandonment to abuse his oath of office by constantly reiterating he would conduct local government elections into councils next year, even while the tenure of our members subsist. Is this the said people’s mandate, to trample on everything sacred in our constitution? We will not abandon our mandate by the good people of Oyo state, nor allow sudden opportunistic advisers of the Governor to derail democratic norms, values and culture in our dear state.
“We will not compromise the people’s mandate to us, but only appeal to our dear citizens of Oyo state across the Local governments and LCDAs to keep faith with constitutionality. The acts of impunity shall be set aside by our Courts by the grace of God, and in expression of the will of the people. The judiciary remains the last hope of the common man and of our constitutional democracy”, the ALGON Chairman further said.
The ALGON chair warned that any attempt as being contemplated by the Governor to impose Caretaker arrangements on all the Local Governments in Oyo State against series of court judgements which his administration has appealed to, shall be vehemently rejected as this may heat up the polity and eventually lead to a state of emergency.
He explained that “The aftermath of this may not be palatable, as his continual and flagrant disobedience to the court judgements may not only lead to the outbreak of laws and orders but may end up consuming the governor himself. It is advisable at this juncture, that the governor gives due regards to the rule of law to which he has sworn to uphold by towing a path of constitutionality in order to forestall a state of anarchy”.
Elxandre: A Country where people earn $30 monthly doesn't qualify as a poverty capital?
You people should keep up your lies. You'll believe them one day after repeating them well enough.
If you actually believe that lie then you are dumber than any dumb person who ever existed.
When they try to push propaganda on a nation they forget that we already have pre-existing Data that refutes their lies. Read the below and click the link for the full ranking of poor countries and you will see Nigeria is nowhere near being the poverty capital of the world. We are actually 185 places above the poorest nation in the world. This means there are 184 much poorer countries before Nigeria and we are 26 positions behind USA.
That propaganda was IMF trying to get their pound of flesh from Nigeria after we boldly refused to take up the loan they offered to us. Do your own research you all will not but will believe anything you read and swallow it hook line and sinker
Poorest Countries In The World 2019
The poorest countries in the world might not be as obvious as you may have assumed. However, if you figured that every country that is listed as one of the poorest countries in the world is also a third world country, or a nation with a public debt problem, then you are not that far from the truth. While there are instances in which the two overlap, it is not fair to automatically assume that all of the poorest countries in the world are also underdeveloped. This is mostly due to the negative connotations associated with countries classified as third world nations.
According to the news outlet, USA Today, the top twenty-five poorest countries in the world are...
Liberia (GNI per capita: $710) The Central African Republic (GNI per capita: $730) Burundi (GNI per capita: $770) The Democratic Republic of the Congo (GNI per capita: $870) Niger (GNI per capita: $990) Malawi (GNI per capita: $1,180) Mozambique (GNI per capita: $1,200) Sierra Leone (GNI per capita: $1,480) Madagascar (GNI per capita: $1,510) Comoros (GNI per capita: $1,570) The only country that did not make it onto both lists is the African country of Zimbabwe. All the other twenty-four poorest countries are also third world countries, which goes to show that the two characteristics do have some common ground between them. If you think about it, money is not everything, but it does allow for a basic level of upkeep. As unfortunate as it is, everything in the world needs money to uphold a certain level of care and maintenance.
Money is not solely for elaborate funding or exuberance. The hardest part about a world that revolves around money is that it becomes a necessity, to the point where countries cannot sustain a permanent state of cleanliness, invest in industries that could help the country flourish, or develop specific attributes that would elevate a developing country to a place of prosperity. It takes an awful lot of time, energy, and money to raise a country from the ground up, and without a national budget that is reasonable, countries fall short of funding.
The physical location of a country also has a lot to do with the wealth -- as well as the lack thereof -- of a country. The reason for this pulls the aspect of underdeveloped governments, systems, and infrastructures in a country into play. See, the financial status of a country has nearly everything to do with a nation’s GDP or gross domestic product. This is a value that correlates to the monetary value of a country’s goods, services, and products over the course of a year.
So the GDP of every country is calculated annually, and it is very similar to credit scores in a sense, albeit on a much larger scale. Still, the GDP of the nation has the potential to severely mess with a country’s future, as does a poor credit score for people like you and me. The gross domestic product of a country is such a substantial influential factor, and a weak GDP can do quite a load of damage to a country’s economy. When a country has a low GDP value, other nations do not revere the low-ranking country as worth doing business with at any level.
This has been the cause of great division between countries because it starts to create a sort of divide between countries with impressively high GDP values and countries with GDP values that are everything but admirable. It is rather unfortunate, mainly because this outlook makes it that much harder for countries with low GDP values to make a comeback. If you have ever experienced the downward spiral of credit card debt and lower-than-preferred credit scores, then the GDP might register with you on a level that is easier to understand from that perspective.
Here are the twenty-five poorest countries in the world, alongside their most recent gross domestic product values. There are technically three different GDP values for each country, and the reason for this is that three separate organizations release lists that rank countries by GDP values based on their own calculations. These organizations are as follows:
The International Monetary Fund The United Nations The World Bank Though the exact values differ, the discrepancies are minimal enough to ignore. The GDP values you see below are the values reported by the International Money Fund.
bakescos01: My brain is very normal, the CPJ are committee to protect journalist. They are based in New York USA. They have 40 staffs and only 2 blacks. They have only one representative in Africa and that’s in Nairobi Kenya. There major focus is in Middle East including Egypt as well. They don’t focus on Africa. There never had any record of any journalist arrest in Benin, Togo , Ghana , Ivory Coast and the rest. Do you want to tell me that those countries don’t have journalist being detained? Let’s stop lying to our people with all this fake lies. CPJ concern is not in Africa but the Middle East and they really don’t care about blacks that much.
People like you just enjoy posting rubbish don't you?
CPJ does not focus on Africa yet they have Morocco, Rwanda, Burundi, Cameroon, Turkey, Egypt on their list yet to you they also do not focus on Egypt.
