Stop being very st00peed. I knew it couldn't have been Fulani.

The Owo killings has every indication of an inside job and Catholics should search within themselves for the perpetrators are within their fold.

stuffs4me:
I find this hard to believe.

Why didn't the Police handle the investigation. The military cannot handle such investigation as delicate as this.

lexy2014:
How did you arrive at this conclusion?

luluosas:
Benin Bypass started and commissioned by the Obasanjo administration for 2BN. All through from Benin - Lagos Road to Benin - Sapele Road, with 4 flyovers. At least, my memory is still intact here. Thank you.

I have never seen a government as stupid as this APC led federal government. Buhari should just leave. His tenure had been a total disaster. You are saying people should not steal. You are saying there is high rate of kidnapping, stealing, robbery, banditry,yet you are increasing hardship on your citizens. Minimum wage is static, salaries are not increasing, rather they are going down. Many companies can't even break even. Many are finding it hard to get by. Yet all this useless government thinks of is to increase tax just because the stupid oil money is not coming in like before and the government is spending so much on recurrent expenditure which is skyrocketing on a yearly basis. Few capital projects, but many recurrennt expenditure. The Nigerian government is living way beyond its means of income. Instead of the government to cut costs like the Buhari led Apc government promised before they got into power, they refused to do that. Now any little thing, you impose tax. As if the tax already imposed is not high enough, you impose more tax because you're looking for more money. We have natural resources other than oil that God has given us in abundance. But we are so lazy in Nigeria. We have a very lazy government and and lazy government workers who only want to be collecting salaries and live flamboyant lifestyles at the detriment of the common citizen. Yet the APC still blames the PDP for this mess even after almost eight years. Now they still want to cling on to power after failing Nigerians. But guess what, Nigerians have coconut heads. We will keep making the same mistakes and still expecting a different result. We deserve our leaders and deserve what we are getting. Nothing will ever change as long as we keep doing the same thing all over and over again.

Mr. Subsidywise18, am sure govt is moving in the right direction

Olurondo:
The governors proposing these are very dull.Very absurd proposal.All I see here is reduce cost and increase taxation,in my opinion that can never being Nigeria out of its current economic mess. Taxation works well in countries where there is high employment rate but such is not the case in nigeria.How do you tax people who don't have jobs or are underemployed?That is what happens when irresponsible government fail in creating jobs.The solution is diversification of the economy,creation of jobs by intentional government policies and programs and infrastructural restructuring and development.

bukatyne:
Spending N1.4t is a biggy for Nigeria today.

We don't even have a tenth of that to spare.

The issue is not the gesture, it is the timing.

bukatyne:
Is this an attempt to justify this madness?

Is Nigeria in a state to 'support' any neighbouring nation with N1b plus?

Yankee101:
If them shoot you for bush throway now nko?

No matter your status, stop blabbing at anyone threatening you with a gun

Especially in a lawless society

USA police won’t also point gun at you for traffic infraction, let’s have balance view of things

[s]Rufai I know it's too polished for this nonsense, maybe the policeman was expecting him to tip something for them but they forgot Rufai belongs to the 'we no dey give shishi' gang[/s].

Where is the lie there?

And 100 United States Dollar equals 41,618.00 Nigerian Naira! You should be more concerned about this


What are trying to defend!?

Drone is expensive but more and very efficient and discreet... you can't tell me it's as expensive as the attack helicopters and tucanos

richiepolymer:
Government hand dey inside this one very well. Our security architecture is compromised and I have every right to believe it has religious jihad motive on the part of the sponsors.
How can the army not have eyes in the sky watching that forest? I have friends that use their personal drones to monitor traffic before hitting the road, some even use it to spy their estate for security threats before leaving the house!…..the a whole Nigerian Army cannot peep into the forest using military grade drones? Haba na? They’re compromised already.
Principalities within the authority are using the left hand to supply weapons and intel to these terrorists and sacrificing the lives of our young soldiers for nothing!
Everything Obadiah Mailafia said is gradually making sense…….every damn thing he said about the plans of these people is what is playing before our eyes. Let us all shine our eyes…..

onuman:
Onyeuko the Spokesman of the Armed forces, remember that the terrorists you said the soldiers killed were Nigerians.
Instead of restructuring Nigeria politically, so that the sharia states shall practice their sharia criminal justice in their Arewa, without gunning for use of Sharia criminal justice system in all parts of Nigeria, the armed forces of Nigeria chose to fight an endless religious war against the millions of Islamists in Arewa who turn to Boko Haram and bandits easily to fight for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws.
Soldiers without political conviction.
Na you and the soldiers go tire, until the terrorists take over all Nigeria.

Everlastingson:
"You dull folks...". This your line is not necessary coz I know and understand all you're saying. Personally I'm angry that Nigeria imports refined petroleum products. But can you tell me why the refineries aren't working? You cannot compare looting in Abacha time to the unprecedented looting of the present day leaders. And, no matter how you see it, no country can survive where most of the leaders are advanced criminals who steal every penny needed to better the country. Can you tell us how much previous govts, and this present evil APC, claim to have pumped into the refineries in the name of TAM? That strong export business strengthens your local currency is not difficult to understand .But you cannot be a producing country when your leaders are thieves. As for your question, Anambra politicians COULD NOT steal when Obi was Governor coz he blocked the loopholes. Peter Obi's key manifesto is to move Nigeria from consumption to production, from importation to exportation. He is the only one among the lot who will block the loopholes of looting BEFORE he will be able to achieve that.

twentyfivekobo:
Even then, GDP growing does not mask the fact that

1.We still rely on exporting just oil.

2.We are not an exporter of manufactured goods (Yes, I'm dreaming here...but we want to have a strong currency...and nations that have a strong currency are exporters of manufactured goods.

3.We are wasting billions on petrol and power subsides, instead of letting them be in a position to make a profit, attract investment, which could lead to them working well, and helping power our economy more (more refineries, increased power generation)

4.Corruption is still a way of life, and it hinders our growth and attractiveness to investment.

5.Really, even if it is all we do, we need to export more of other things.


GDP grew under GEJ...meanwhile we were still a broke nation then. And it should be growing more. We cannot keep relying on loans and funneling money for debt because we are oil dependent.

JIBO4REAL:
From my own view of point Abokifx has nothing to do with $dollars devaluation, All the blame is on Our Dear government, they should try to stop importation I mean totally dependent on foreign products in term of food, tech, and others means, why should we be blaming Beauri de change guys, government has stop given people FORM A now so for those people has things to in abroad (school, health and others) how would you want them to get money � to proceed if there’s no all those Beauri De change guys, we should stopped blaming people for government failure, let blame those in the government system, let make things stable for our Dear Country first

Blackdisciple:
The CBN governor don't even know how the market works, but I don't blame him because he is just clueless just like his oga at the top.

okeysoninv:
this is from shell cooperation profit last year alone.
a total of $20b . why is CBN not tapping into foreign exchange earnings by companies operating in Nigeria. Emefiele needs to answer this
https://www.google.com/url?q=https://guardian.ng/business-services/shell-declares-20-1b-profit/&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwix_KGllZr5AhUCOuwKHRtlBzgQFXoECAEQAg&usg=AOvVaw0mauJlYa7DWNT3sAhCSXeV

by the time you cumulate other companies earning foreign currencies in Nigeria you will see we have more dollars than naira in this country. the evil people in APC won't allow Nigeria flourish because of their selfish interest.

okeysoninv:
I believe you are educated , the figures are there for you to see . maybe I should take you back to primary school . what I gave you is the total amount earnings collected by companies mining crude oil and gas in Nigeria. you can see there is enough dollars in the figures. yours is more of govt revenue and royalties collected by the government. it's has nothing to do with foreign exchange earning. a good working CBN should have mandated the oil companies to sell their Dollar exchange earnings to them by some percentage. we could have had enough foreign exchange in the market. this is nothing to argue about. Nigeria has no business to lack dollars when exports and remittances is close to 200b USD

okeysoninv:
hope you can make use of your Google and arithmetic very well . nigeria is currently exporting 1.4m barrels per day multiply it by 365 day. one barrel is 108 Bonny sweet crude that's 55b USD. Nigeria is exporting 38b cubic meters of gas years multiply it by 3usd that a price for 1, cubic meter of gas. you are getting nothing less than 100b USD. the other exporting minerals and agriculture plus finish products are not included. disprove it with a verifiable figure that Nigeria is not exporting 1.4m barrels per day or the gas is not 38 billion cubic meters. Emefiele holds the answer for where they are keeping the Dollars earned from resources taken from Nigeria to.
