Wateva u diversify the economy into, with a senseless buffoon like u in power, u will certainly ignite some kind of militancy that will disrupt the economy.


Sir, u are not qualified to be President. U dont even have a certificate.

my sentiments exactly.

Like Hitler who in his reign witnessed the German economy grow to be the greatest in europe only to decide he wanted to conquer the world.

Even if Buhari eventually recovers this country he will destroy it by doing something as stupid as declaring sharia in Nigeria.

gidjah:
NO TIME FOR EXCUSE SIR, PLS take honest charge and start reasoning well, listen to honest professionals and get pretty humble sir, your govt seem not to be communicating with the masses that brought you people in, dont hold the economy to its jugular, it will suffocate sir, listen to the masses, they are saying something.

he has ear infection.

if PDP do not have proof of this kinda accusation then they are playing the APC propaganda game and they(PDP) cant win that battle.

Obasanjo despite his imperfection especially with his politics, did his best economically. He got us debt cancellation, He opened up the Telecoms sector of the economy which is one of the highest employers of labor in the country currently, He stabilized the banking sector with the 25B consolidation and he worked with oil never at Jonathans level

Gowon regime is about 50yrs old now, the oil boom that was recent could have been better managed

so you agree someone can have imperfections that would make him not be effective. i guess it is obasanjos imperfections that made him not privatise NNPC, libery issue, coja, halliburton, siemens, shares in transcorp and obajana cement,16b dollars frittered away on providing power and his imperfections also wanted him to aspire for a third term when he knew it was not in the constitution. it only goes to show that if Obasanjo was in GEJ's shoes he would have not relinquished power had he been beaten at the poll.

i just think it is unfair to just heap every thing that is wrong with this country on GEJ. agreed he was an ineffective president coupled with the fact that he could not even control his wife so he really had no business leading a country like Nigeria. it was even the perfect Obasanjo that schemed him into power.

i will not mention buhari and PTF, Abacha, Babangida and Abdulsalami let us leave their own imperfections because Jonathan was supposed to be perfect.

until we do the right thing even in this dire situation we will continue to grope in the dark like zombies.

Truth. This is the truth and nothing but the truth

We are a nation with one major source of income, We had a windfall like never before, instead of diversifying our economy and building infrastructure some saw it as an opportunity to loot the windfall

Just like the story of Joseph in Egypt where he dreamt of 7 yrs of windfall and 7yrs of famine. 2000years ago people had the sense to save for rainy days but our perpetually inebriated ineffectual Buffoon and his cronies ate it all

What we failed to do in the time of plenty we would be forced to do in this period of scarcity

We all know that GEJ was not ready to rule because it fell on his lap which made him allow every known and unknow chalatan fleece our common wealth. But you should stop this your parochial way of looking at his tenure.

We did not diversify did not start 6yrs ago, it started from when we had oil boom and some people told us we had money and the problem was how to spend it.

Other people that had been at the helm of affair in this country are also responsible because they also failed to diversify, infact they are worse because the country had a period when it had oil boom, a better opportunity and nothing was done.

From Gowon to obasanjo to Shagari to Buhari to Babangida to Abacha to abubarka to Obasanjo to Jonathan are all buncha useless visionless inebriated ineffectual Buffoons.

Don't make it look like Jonathan is the only one responsible for where we are today. if Obasanjo knew what he was doing in 1999 we won't be where we are today, he even wanted to perpetuate himself in power for a 3rd term.

5%

So a supposedly established coach had never seen Di maria play before, he only saw him for the six months he performed for Madrid.

And after he bought Di Maria why did he start playing him all over the place intermittently and expected him to perform.

LvG was confused. Period!

Ok.

Thought Nass would kinda make it a law to make manually casting votes illegal.

Haha!

Kids draw the dandest things

Somebody wants to destroy the country economically and ignite it to consume everyone because of his parochial and bigoted demeanour.

Dadehmola:
LVG as technical Director with Mourihno as manager?

After two weeks, one of them go resign trust me!!

Resign ke! Abi one person go shoot the other person.

AdeLaNa1:
At least we didn't ve to wait 9 yrs to win a trophy

Even with LvG we are not that uber useless.

I did not see the match. Can't believe we actually won the FA cup this season.


The question is should ione be happy or sad?

Am sure you know what the reason for the sadness.

LvG go wan take this FA cup claim stance now.


I wish they can just announce LvG's sack now now, I swear the celebration go just double!

wirinet:
Wailers just wail without thinking. Where do you expect government to get the dollars to assist the oil marketers? Get a printing machine and start printing dollars? You people talk as if you are not aware that our only source of foreign exchange is crude oil and it has been selling for less than $40 for the past one year, apart from sabotage of production by militants. As long as revenue from oil dwindles, every one of us will have to source our own dollars to import foreign goods. So quit wailing and do something that can earn you some dollars.

So if the almighty govt cannot get dollars it is the Marketers that would be able to get dollars from heaven.


After calling them 5% you want to take the oil from there place to continue to feed the 97% and think some of them are not as irrational as the president when he made the 5% statement and they are exhibiting their irrationality by blowing up oil facilities.

Until we do the right thing we will continue to suffer unnecessarily.

bnanzip:
That you are out to do busines and you expect the government to do busines for you.
Even fishermen will soon demand for dollars.
Useless people destroying this country.
If they do not want the money in niara, let them give it to me.

But govt can propose grazing fields for herdsmen who are also business men abi.

Until we do the right thing we will not get out of this mess and this APC govt seem to be confused.

The question is - what is the Right thing?

Regionalism while we still remain as Nigeria.

Sturridge

A very wicked goal from sturridge!

elampiro:
He was our best player in first half. Even at 0-0 the commentors kept praising him. He was opening and changing our games with passes. Second half was a great football artistry from Wayne.

I agree Rooney had a good game, but u are making it look like he is the best player in the world especially when he has been found wanting this season numerous times.

The commentators were biased about Rooney. In the first half every little thing Rooney did especially the long ppasses were praised to high heaven and when he made a mistake or wrong pass they kept quiet or made a joke out of it.

English commentators will praise Rooney no matter what. Your comparism with Zidane was a little too much and am sure u were not comparing him with Zidane when he (zidane) had a bad game and we all know what Zidane was when he was in his element.

Rooney played against Bournemouth FFS.

elampiro:
Zidane we didn’t see against Senegal?

You think everyday is Christmas?

So because today was christmas for Rooney we no go hear word again. It was even only in the 2nd half that his game made sense sef. He was average 1st half.

Rooney that has been useless nearly half of the season.

Abeg calm down with this ur Rooney worship that u see even in a match he did not play.

raumdeuter:
Just 20 goals needed

Yey! We got 1

They could have done the controlled explosion of that package they found under LvG seat today like 5mins ago.

capricornian:
The number of our passes should count for something na lol

Our slow build up, that is if we consider it a build up is just annoying, irritating and frustrating.

Just count how many times the ball crosses the half way line in forward play and comes back just because we want to keep possession. Its annoying.

Rooney busy spreading passes left and right that don't amount to nothing.

I know this match might not be that important but, this is just rubbish.

We need to upturn Sounthampton and win the FA for this season to make any sense and this dumbos are lackadaisical about it.

LVG is a ....

SIRcumalot:
sometimes I think the stat people opta,whoscored and whoever is working for sky is just forming this numbers,
to create drama.
how can we be 18th in chance created ?
I don't believe it.

Abeg let them form anything to get this sidon look coach away from OT.

freeze001:
Are you for real? So they don't have family members and comrades and friends who are part of that community as well? Once they work for Chevron they become Chevron's property? So if ur brother goes to work and doesn't return and it's clear he hadn't left his workplace before his disappearance, you'll keep quiet and wait for his company alone to act?

You funny sha...all because of politics and tribalism!

dont mind those people talking rubbish.

so if their brothers work for nigerian police and the brother goes missing and nigerian police have not said anything they will keep quiet.

the way people think is just incredible.

raumdeuter:
If this is your definition of a rivalry then Dortmund doesn't have a rivalry with Bayern. Their rival is more like Schalke
Most of the rivalries you described there is between clubs from the same city which is 1860 Munich and Nurnberg

When Dortmund were about to go into administration Bayern gave them a loan, Would you offer or accept a loan from a rival? When they couldnt

If Bayern had bought KdB last yr you would have said its from a rival, Is Wolfsburg also a rival? SOmeone on this thread even called Stuttgart a rival a team that was relegated yesterday. How is Stuttgart a Bayern rival and Wigan not a Man Utd rival?

Dortmund have learnt from several Bundesliga sides to separate emotions from business. Some examples

Thomas Helmer Dortmund refused to sell to Bayern, they sold to Lyon, 3 months later Lyon sold him to Bayern for a hefty profit pocketing the money

Bayern wanted to buy Vidal from Leverkusen for 20M one payment, Leverkusen rejected and sold to Juventus for 17M multiple payments, 4yrs later Juventus sold Vidal back to Bayern. The Bayern money Leverkusen rejected Juve got it. Leverkusen are not any better for it

Bayern made enquiries to buy Rafinha, Schalke sold him to Genoa, In 2yrs Genoa sold Rafinha to Bayern, the money schalke didnt want from bayern Genoa took

Same thing happened in the case of Boateng to City and to Bayern

Hummels was on the last yr of his contract and yet Bayern paid 38M for him(Van Persie who was a striker who naturally cost way more was sold for 30M on the last yr of his contract), they have the option of selling him abroad for less and in a few months or yrs Hummels would be back in bayern. Who lost here?

For a Bundesliga player Bayern pays more than most continental clubs would pay. After tha fantastic world cup Ozil had, Madrid only bought him for 18M while they bought Khedira for 14M

Does this mean, or are u saying Bayern actually have no "REAL" rival in the german league?

GBR1:
I think the match is to be cancelled. Suspect package found.

Its been abandoned!

I hope the security concerns are about getting that big headed LvG out.

Anything to get him outta OT.

Game to be Delayed for about 45mins.

Nigeria is really a wonderful country>

Money that should have been used to establish companies that produce one thing or the other is being used to buy houses abroad that nobody stays in or are occupied once or twice a year when the owners visit those countries.

same with funds, just starched away in foreign account doing nothing.

its a pity.

Chai !!! LVG and his boys no go kill person!

patrickmuf:
Who's playing behind Rashord?

Invisible man!

We aint out of bus yet and its not even parked in front of the our goal.

So what are we doing?

Very sloppy play that lead to that goal.

Don't understand we just like passing backwards as if scared of passing forward only to start attempting the forward passes after going a goal down.

Its annoying!

SleekAboki:
Comrade Adams is today amongst the top ten richest politicians in Nigeria and also doubles as a confidant to Buhari.

Anybody that gives support to rogue politicians like Fashola Ameachi buhari and the rest is part of the problem we face in Nigeria. The REAL Nigerians are those that speak up against every form of injustices beyond tribal religious and party politics.

Are you a REAL Nigerian? have you ever spoken up against your great party APC and messiah buhari? You attempt to either label everyone that speaks up as PDP member or Jonathan kinsman is doing a grave disservice to Buhari from receiving sound advice.

I totally align with your line of argument. Imagine someone suggesting that there already exist some form of regionalism albeit quasi-regionalism as you put it. That is the most unjustifiable thing that can happen.

So some states would be allowed to tap there resources for their benefit while the FG will stap the resources of some other states or region and share to everyone. SMH.

One of the most archaic policy of power generation and distribution is the one that allows any power generated anywhere in the country most be added to the national grid and can be distributed to anywhere the govt wishes. That policy is draconian.

With regionalism Tinubus IPP would have been embraced by the whole SW by now. North would generate and distribute thru shiroro, kainji, solar and wind, ND will use there gas to generate so if NDA or tompolo decides to blow up gas pipelines it will be ND business and not affect the whole nation and they will be able to fish him out and do the needful.

Ajaokuta steel can feed the whole middle belt, with tourism and agriculture that every region cn practice with whatever they have comparative advantage to grow.

Yes, its a shame GEJ missed an oppurtunity as a ND and that's why I don't really accord him the respect everyone does coupled with the fact that he allowed so much impunity and his wife to run riot.

As per Governors in general whether ND or not, most of them need to be sent to the great beyond.

Imagine Seriake Dickson ranting on TV that he needs to flush out ghost workers after his first term in office as if he just knew about it.

This country is a big shame and we still don't want to do the right thing.

The question is - WHAT IS THE RIGTH THING?
