Sad.

In saner societies, effort will be made to reach out to the cultists and take them in for questioning. By doing that, the police force will have a good list of potential future criminals to look out for and stand a better chance of fighting crime.
Imagine 5 Nigerians with prior brush with law living together some 10 years latter and having unexplainable wealth.

The nation have access to aso rock through Osibanjo

The nation or PremuinTimes®?

Bitterness shortens a person's life span. Anytime you see 'bad news' such as these, just skip the thread. Those of us who own farms know what' sharpening on ground and it's good.

Why isn't the impact being felt in the market on the consumer's side? You can't foól everybody all the time.

The borrowing is much and the debt is piling, but please don't try to compare the current borrowing to the borrowing of the past; there is no basis for comparison here. It is very logical and expected for a person to borrow in times of dwindling income/recession. Our greatest concerns should be whether the funds being borrowed are deployed to verifiable projects.

Nobody seems to question the anomaly that almost half of the current debt figure was borrowed between 2010 and 2015, at a time when the nation's income was at its peak (most people are actually ignorant of this fact and are being made to believe the entire debt appeared today). You really can't compare pre-2015 borrowing when income was high to post-2015 when national income dropped by more than 60%.

The 2 most important things we should be worried about and questions we should be asking are:
(1) Why was so much borrowed between 2010 and 2015 when income was high?
(2) The funds borrowed today, are they being channeled to sensible projects?

Now that the pre-2015 loans are in existence what does Buhari and APC intend to do about it? Are we going to suffer for the whole 8 years because PDP and GEJ messed up?
That's why I don't like rating govt performance based on another govt or admib but by what is available. It gives political biased folks something to hold on to. The fact that GEJ had more to work with doesn't mean what PMB has is too little. Let them work wholeheartedly and stop using events ( mostly corruption ) they have no moral rights to reverse as excuse. If with the hige leakages GEJ allowed in subsidy are blocked and alternative energy sources like gas turbines have been touched even averagely by the current admin, by now our subsidy figure and wasted forex on petrol and diesel imports will be modest.

Look at herdsmen issue and all the stupid proposition we keep seeing, Is PDP also to blame for that also? As long as the govt keep taking side on pressing and critical issues like farmers herdsmen clashes no one will take them seriously. At the end of the day all these issues influences our debt profile but it seems the govt of APC/Buhari is only interested in going the same direction we have maintained since 1970.

With the huge money FG injects into these federal schools I support harshness on erring students.

Pathetic world we have made the universe for ourselves.

IamAlexander:
Good riddance... Parents have failed in teaching their children morals and values... Rather they now encourage their children to cheat.. Very sad.

And the homes are the parent to any society. That explains our rot in society.

GavelSlam:
Nigeria has never witnessed such an upswing in investments in rice mills as under this administration.

Make of that what you will.

The maize association that you aren't part of are releasing figures but you can't believe it.

If Ghana corn association claims it feeds Nigeria you would believe.

We all know our current govt is a lie lie one. The rice saga is still fresh in my mind.
Let any increase in maize production reflect in demand-supply pressure graph and I will easily understand.

obailala:
More than half of that was borriwed b4 2015. The world did not start rotating in 2015.

And what has Buhari and APC done differently from PDP they like to demonize every 10 days? What exactly?

They are borrowing and claiming infrastructure will spur the economy but is our increase in borrowing commensurate with the infrastructural increase we are seeing.
At the base of these mismanagement and lies is our booty mentality towards oil earning. We keep seeing oil money as something to be shared and used to develop strange places and it has brought us far more problems than any mushroom development we have been able to record in the past 50 years. Most project these monies were partly spent on were also conceived and commended before 2015 and I see no reason for the before 2015 part.

APC seem to have picked up where PDP left but are insisting they have a new direction for us.

GavelSlam:
Why are the likes of Jerry Useni and coscharis investing in rice mills?

You mean there hasn't been investment in rice mills similar to those in time past? One sure thing I know about maize is that it is relatively easier to process and get to market. So if it's production volume has more than doubled I expect its that to reflect in prices of maize and maize-derived products but I can't say that yet.

BizBayo:
I am so much in support of the single digit interest loan. However, my major concern is the criterium that would used in selecting loan applicants, because 'who you know' is the order of the day in this part of the world.

Thank you. Some people will dominate it at the end of the day and it will barely go round. Add the stringent and almost impossible collateral they demand and you see why it remains a highly inaccessible load.

Amuocha:
Next level interest loans...

Single digit loans could be 9.9999999%

Putting money in Nigeria's bank is also risky

With BVN, etc., there is still risk in putting money in bank

How can we compete with Chinese made and imported goods if theirs is around 3% and ours is still higher?
Powers is also cheaper there and available unlike here.
Manufacturing in Nigeria still remains a mirage.

leksonltd:
Please who knows the variety they said yield between 8 - 12 tonnes per acre. I really need to know as it could be a major break through. Thanks.

GMO things I suspect. Tasteless maize probably in market. I await NBS on this news.

bluefilm:
That's good
Agriculture is the new oil.

The problem is "where is the impact?".

GavelSlam:
Keep up the good work.

That's how they lied about rice production oh. You mean we have more maize than under Akinwunmi Adeshina and we can't see its effect in the price of maize yet. These people ( APC ) are known liars and I don't want to believe this crazy report.

MuttleyLaff:
Romans 9:6-13, as in Paul, is talking about, a God choice, talking of God's preference, talking of how God wanted to do and go about the matter of whose lineage to use for the salvation of man. God had promised it will be Abraham through Sarah, that He will give this blessing but they almost scuttled it, with thinking that it is impossible, that Sarah is past her best days to have a child and/or that delay is a denial.

Agreed but it also revealed how Ismael departed from Abraham's linage of promise and you know Ismael is or like a father to Islam right?
They broke off but technically aren't part of the promise ( blessed Israelites ) and need to accept Christ in other graft themselves back into the tree of life which is Christ.

hmmm...another PDP media trial?

Chevrolet076:
very nice analogy you've got there, but how come the first kid knows so much and the second kid doesn't even have a clue about anything going on?

and in your analogy, the two kids are clearly dependent on the "mother", but here on earth, are we dependent on god? aren't we working for our daily bread ourselves?

also, in your analogy, the kids are visibly and physically connected to the "mother", can you tell me how we are "physically connected" to "god".

then, if you can do the one above, which of the gods is it?

You asked if we are dependent on God, but I ask if we are dependent on rainfall for continuous planting-harvest cycles? If the answer to the latter is yes, then we are dependent on God.

Islamist are descendants of Abraham but of the bond-woman and this is symbolic of their exclusion in the promise, that covers hitherto Gentiles, like us(me inclusive). This was what Paul was talking of in Romans 9 : 6 - 13

Oh ok. I would get baback to u in a few hours tims

Following also...

bobowaja:
Lol.... This story is kidda funny. A spirit running across the street into a NIGHTCLUB . I hope Okada and tipper no jam am for legs.

The things of the spirit are always funny to the physically minded person.
The spiirit in form of a baboon had been there and it was on a prayer altar that God opened the pastors eye to see into the spirit realm. Encounters with spirit realm are real and even thought if a car had crossed the road same time the spirit was moving there, there would have been no impact. Just same way your spirit is in you and doesn't become physical to doctors who may open you up, is same way bad spirits are real. You only need to read the bible carefully to see that there are a lot of spiritual encounters.

Law dept in most schools have dress codes.

Hope no life was lost

None. Just that three people transfered to God in heavens gate.

This has nothing to do with maturity but the mindset many people have towards public thing. I bet you that those students have clean toilets in their respective houses. They wear clean shoes and shirts . The university is at fault here for not doing enough. They just choke the hostels with crowd yet they have less staff to manage the place. Yes you made reference to private university, haven't you thought why many of their toilets are clean?. Why many of their students rarely mess their toilets.

No matter how over populated the hostels are, you can't justify the use of a toilet to such an extent. They should channel some of the energy they use in extra curricular activities to organise themselves to clean that place. Even of the school over populated the hostels it doesn't warrant such carelessness. BTW, I attended a notorious boarding school and tasted public school too before switching. Their maturity shouldn't start and end with selfish use of general facilities or relationship but should include organisational and moral traits.
There is no excuse for such nonsense.

realglob:
How does that relate to this good news?

the image of Nigeria. one is good and the other bad for it.

ahiboilandgas:
eyya an not Yoruba.. ....even at that emeka name is on the death row list in Muslim Saudi.. .plus 23000 of your sisters selling pussy for 10 euro in italy plus 40000 in Ghana plus 13000 in Mali other are busy with baby factory or eating arab anus ...while over 1400 are in China awating execution what of Thailand....u people are a scar to the human race...visit Allen avenue

Lol. . . you are highly extremely unwell boy!

restored2016:
who paste this thing for here, the thing dey smell from there!

lol

Congrats.

I hope another four Nigerians haven't undone this positive news with another Intl robbery.

asuustrike1:
Am disappointed at your statement. Those students much have paid one fee or the other for hostel maintenance instead of questioning the school authority for nonchalant attitude you are condemning the students. Why would the university admit more than its capacity? Why would the management be insensitive to student's hygiene? Can the head of the school try this in a private establishment?.

Oga, will you clean such adult shiit just cause you are paid? Cleaners are not paid to work with shiit directly but to clean tiles and water closes system. The students started it by defecating on floor and the water closet itself.
They aren't kids. This is why I laugh when people condemn private school student as kids. They are more mature and exposed to these things and don't mess up simple water closet. Maturity doesn't start and end with having and impregnating cohabiting partners oh!
Let the student grow up and realize part of maturity is the ability to cooperate on issues like these. Let them share the responsibility equally and put those toilets back in cleanable order or state. This is un-cleanable even if the cleaners are paid their arrears. Jesus.

no other animal is more cruel to its kind than humans.
