Shukuakukobambi: Now you're displaying confusion. So Osinbajo is now president?
His own man, mention one thing he did in the office of VP as his own man. Just one is all i ask
I did not call him the president. Though he likes to claim the very little achievement of the buhari administration like a chameleon, while allowing buhari to take the political scars.
I called him a mere commissioner, played around by buhari's men.
thegoodone1234: only two state in south west is enough for the whole south east. check the past record 2011 and 2015. if south west give pDP 45% as you said, its more than the vote south east will give.
And you couldn't give falae the presidency in 1999 after supporting him as a region, while obj had to look elsewhere.
Keep hiding under buhari's followership in the North.
thegoodone1234: forget tribalism. he said the true. only north west and south west that have the number.
oh really.
And the south west were in opposition for 16 years.
So if buhari didn't win the North Central, and the north east, you think he would have defeated Jonathan.?
if the pdp loses the loyal south east that have ensured their relevance, and pander to unstable and unreliable partners and it backfires, that is the end of the pdp.
In fact, the only thing APC would need to do is to take the south east and the pdp is finished.
Rossikki: For me, the Buhari administration is a more serious and focused govt.
And far less corrupt.
How? Has it built higher number of roads, or power plants, or created more national wealth in 3 years compared to the previous administration in the same span of time? Because none of the above is true by any rational available statistics.
His people are fixated on saraki, while they have a much bigger thief at home.
I honestly wouldn't care if tiniubu Sold the entire south west to the chinese as long as that is where his influence ends.
But unfortunately, buhari's political desires have granted tinubu a Lee way into critical federal politics, and that is what is worrying.
I hope if buhari finally wins in 2019, he would have the sense and patriotism to kick tinubu and his thieving hands back to the south west where he belongs.
Only low calibre women are fixated on height. It is a clear indication of her level.
You don't expect a lady in the upper echelons of Mobil or chevron to be fixated on height. Not when most of her professional mentors with high level productivity are short people.
By the time a lady grows to that level , all those childish bias will fade away.
NdiaraIGBO: Ok brother, please tell us how you expect the FG to fund all these wonderful objectives. Please no abuse, just outline step by step how the government can achieve these while maintaining it's current obligations. I'd be very delighted to hear you.
Remember there is a reason some people live in Lekki and others live in Ajegunle.
you expect me to enter an intellectual argument with a bigoted coon like you? lol
Belief is something that comes with conviction and agreement. The whole write up is kind of saying SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE in Jesus.
That means you are super imposing with threats rather than allowing people to actually have a reason to believe.
So over 3 billion people who don't even have Jesus in their agenda will just BURN IN HELL forever.
What a Joke.
The Bible qctually reinforce that.
And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12
Also God does not mind sending nations to hell if they disobey him. Numbers does not move him. He created them all without breaking a sweat.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Psalm 9:17
Which is why he promised that the end will not come until the whole world hears about Jesus to serve as a witness to them.
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matt 24:14
Today is the day of salvation. Turn to the Lord today.
Hopebringer: Your educational background is impressive to say the least and your points are delivered coherently a hall mark of excellent tutoring.
Now let me indulge you. What has been NIGERIA"s inflation rate fluctuation for the last 3 years? Let.me.soare you we have gained double digits concurrently. Now this tells you 2 things the buying power of.the people.is.drippimg and consumer.and.commodity goods are risk g in prices why?
You claimed buharin stopped importation, what polici6did he put in place to.ensure growth of.local.industries to.buffer this gap and.forestall price his in consumer.goods? None! This alone.shows his economic plan in this regard will flawed and not.well.thought out
He floated the dollar naira exchange why? Why do that in an.economy whose.local.industries are comatose ?
We do not have an environment that encourgaes local.insustries , land aquisition ofr local industries is rising yesrly no subsidy in this regard.
Power supply for.local.production is non existent , another flawed Why increase the fuel pump.orice when you knew.yoy would still be paying subsidy infact he has paid more in the last 3 years than we did in the last 16 years under pdp why? When.every indices shows our population is.shrinkimg due to.record deaths from starvation, suicide, Mass murder and bombings ?
So.why imoose more hardship knowing by falsely increasing this fuel.oumo.price it would drive prices of all.commoditirs higher?
Why didn't he sell off the refineries to ensure we stop importation of fuel by letting international private partners buy the refineries and rebuild them so all we do is give crude in exchange for fuel there by saving coast on subsidy and.importation? Another flaw.
We lost 6 million.jons in.3 years I have lots of friends whose companies.shut down or left Nigeria entirely due to his floating of.the dollar
Nigeria has never witnessed this level of job loss in history and he comes.up.with N-powrr? How do you use such a flawed useless program to buffer job losses of this magnitude ? another flaw .
Do you understand the term investment in human capital? Buhari and his carbinet seem to not understand that Npowrr isn't this! Nor is trader Moni either ,
The so-called farming initities you highlighted shows you are a victim.of the ApC PROPAGANDA.. it is all a ruse... Where are the farms producing local rice ? Why is the roice of.rise still so high? How about garri, yams, cassava etc?
If trully there had been an agriculture boom under this government one would see the relevant depreciation in food.prices in all.markets around.the country ....but hey there is an agriculture boom.right? It's been.3 years now surely if these farmers have been doing so.well by now the food stored in their silos would be spoiling is they are hoarding it?
My dear they just launch all.these policies on paper and do nothing ...
There are no thriving local farmers , save for the few farms.owned by politicians
Fertilizers rpices are still high despite so.called subsidy.
They security is zero in Nigeria , states are bankrupt
There are.no.rela.lomg.term.poicies to mitigate economic changes which is.surprising in such a dynamic.emetging.economy.like.ours
We need a change not buhari
Osinbanjo is a better option.
If you believe that illiterate is a graduate of the university of London, then I have a bridge to sell to you.
Not only does he lack the basic intelligence required for a masters program, let alone a foreign one , his world view is like that of an ancient cave man stuck in ile-ife.
NdiaraIGBO: Monghalu ko Mongolia ni, that strong headed egotistc idiot from the wrong part of town?
Go and put him there.
That buhari that is giving you people undue importance in Yoruba land will leave in 2023 at most. We will get to know who is from the wrong part of town then.
Zoharariel: I just stumbled upon this beautiful piece from the Sakers Vineyard. It's a must read for everybody.
It’s Africa’s choice: AFRICOM or the New Silk Roads By Pepe Escobar
When China calls, all Africa answers. And Beijing’s non-politicization of investments and non-interference in internal affairs is paying off big time
The dogs of war – cold, hot, trade, tariffs – bark while the Chinese caravan plies the New Silk Roads. Call it a leitmotif of the young 21st century.
At the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in Beijing, President Xi Jinping has just announced a hefty US$60 billion package to complement another US$60 billion pledged at the 2015 summit.
That breaks down to $15 billion in grants and interest-free loans; $20 billion in credit lines; a $10 billion fund for development financing; $5 billion to finance imports from Africa; and waving the debt of the poorest African nations diplomatically linked to China.
When China calls, all Africa answers. First, we had ministers from 53 African nations plus the African Union (AU) Commission approving the Beijing Declaration and the FOCAC Action Plan (2019-21).
Then, after the $60 billion announcement, we had Beijing signing memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with nine African nations – including South Africa and Egypt – related to the New Silk Roads/Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Additionally, other 20 African nations are discussing further cooperation agreements.
Debt trap or integration?
That does not exactly paint the picture of the BRI as a vicious debt trap enabling China to take over Africa’s top strategic assets. On the contrary, the BRI is seen as integrating with Africa’s own Agenda 2063, a “strategic framework for the socio-economic transformation of the continent over the next 50 years” tackling unemployment, inequality and poverty.
Apart from letting the numbers speak for themselves, Xi deftly counter-punched the current, massive BRI demonization campaign: “Only the people of China and Africa have the right to comment on whether China-Africa cooperation is doing well … No one should deny the significant achievement of China-Africa cooperation based on their assumptions and speculation.”
And once again Xi felt the need to stress the factor that does seduce, Africa-wide – Chinese non-politicization of investments, and Chinese non-interference in the internal affairs of African nations.
This comes right after Xi’s speech celebrating the five years of BRI, on Aug. 27, when he stressed Beijing’s organizing foreign policy concept for the foreseeable future has nothing to do with a “China club.”
What that reveals, in fact, is a Deng Xiaoping-style “crossing the river while feeling the stones” fine-tuning, bent on correcting mistakes in what is still the BRI’s planning stages, and including the approval of a mechanism of dispute resolution for myriad projects.
African leaders seem to be on board. For South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, the FOCAC “refutes the view that a new colonialism is taking hold in Africa, as our detractors would have us believe.” AU chairman Paul Kagame, also the president of Rwanda, emphasized a stronger Africa was an opportunity for investment, “rather than a problem or a threat.”
A ‘non-enduring contingency location’?
According to the China Chamber of International Commerce, over 3,300 Chinese companies have invested Africa-wide in telecommunications, transportation, power generation, industrial parks, water supply, rental business for construction machinery, retail, schools, hotels and hospitals.
China is, in fact, upgrading its investments in Africa beyond infrastructure, manufacturing, agriculture and energy and mineral imports. China is Africa’s top trading partner since 2009; trade expanded 14% in 2017, reaching $170 billion.
In November, Shanghai will host the first China International Import Expo – jointly managed by the Ministry of Commerce and the Shanghai municipal government, a convenient stage for African nations to promote their proverbial “market potential.”
Xi depicted as a new and ruthless Mao? China mired in abysmal corruption? China’s massive internal debt about to explode like a volcano from hell? None of this seems to stick Africa-wide. What does impress is that in three decades, a one-party system managed to multiply China’s GDP per capita by a factor of 17. From a Global South point of view, the lesson is “they must be doing something right.”
The ultra-sensitive military front
In parallel, there’s no evidence Africa will cease to be a key BRI node for investment; a market with an expanding middle class receptive to Chinese imports; and most of all, strategic reasons.
And then there’s the ultra-sensitive military front.
China’s first overseas military base was inaugurated on Aug. 1, 2017 – on the exact 90th anniversary of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The official Beijing spin is that Djibouti is a base for peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, and to fight pirates based on the Yemeni and Somali coastlines.
But it goes way beyond that. Djibouti is a geostrategic dream; on the northwest Indian Ocean and at the southern path to the Red Sea, en route to the Suez Canal and with access to the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Gulf and most of all the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. This prime economic connectivity translates into transit control of 20% of all global exports and 10% of total annual oil exports.
Not accidentally, Djibouti’s top capital source is China. Chinese companies fund nearly 40% of Djibouti’s top investment projects. That includes the $490 million Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway, whose strategic importance far exceeds elephants, zebras and antelopes “roaming freely alongside a railway.”
Djibouti’s aim, as expressed by President Ismail Omar Guelleh – who visited Xi in Beijing last November – is to position itself as the number one connectivity/transshipment node for all of Africa.
Now compare it with the Pentagon’s AFRICOM agenda – as in an array of Special Ops deploying nearly 100 secret missions across 20 African nations at any given time.
As Nick Turse extensively documented in his must-read book Tomorrow’s Battlefield, there are at least 50 US military bases Africa-wide – ranging from what AFRICOM designates as “forward operating sites” to fuzzy “cooperative security locations” or “non-enduring contingency locations.” Not to mention 36 AFRICOM bases in 24 African nations that have not previously made it to official reports.
What this spells out, once again, is further evidence of the ever-replicating Empire of Bases. And that brings us to Africa’s stark “contingency location” choice. In the ultra-high-stakes development game, who’re you gonna call? FOCAC and the New Silk Roads, or Ghostbusters AFRICOM?
Who would you rather run to? The Chinese or The Amerikan bastards that have been killing us with IMF, COUP DETAT, ECONOMIC SABOTAGE & SUBVERSION, BALKANIZATION ATTEMPT, HIV, EBOLA & BOKO HARAM? I can go on & on.
They give you aides of $20Million & steal $20Billion in return - Cursed Bastards!
Below is a video of Sudan President revealing who are behind ISIS & Boko Haram.
And after they successfully killed Sani Abacha, the bastards relocated her Soldiers to the topmost floor of our DHQ in Abuja where they were able to infiltrate every sector of Nigeria & Obasanjo allowed them - Awon Oloriburuku!
If you had a choice between American owned chevron and any other Chinese company in Nigeria , which would you or your children rather work for? That is all I have to say.
Sleekfingers: Who do you think we should vote for? Saraki, atiku, ortom, David Mark, kwamkwaso? I don't think so. I will rather stick with buhari. Since no party is producing any credible candidate.
You have not heard of moghalu?
You can vote for your incompetent buhari. That is your choice.
But don't ever claim you don't have an alternative.
WhiteJacket: Wísdom you shall inherit my brother. moghalu lacked integrity the day he pulled out of thr PACT. That was highly questionable to his character and ethics. As for me and my household.
SOWORE FOR PRESIDENT 2019
The only thing sowore has going for him is zeal and passion.
But to rebuild Nigeria, you need revolutionary, mind bending ideas.
The country is too far gone ,that to cause a real positive change will require serious brilliance and expertise.
And sowore does not have that. He is better as a head of the efcc, to go after those corrupt strongmen with his ruggedness.
But instead of a buhari, I would rather vote for sowore.
Firstpage: Why do ibos always cry victim. Not a day goes bye without many of you shout afonja, skull miners, brown roof, etc on this forum, ye you cry victim all the time. man up you sissies.
There is more manhood in a 10 year old boy in aba than in your entire Yoruba clan.
Slexyangel: Pity, if they had given the contract to indigenous companies, many Nigerians would have been employed. Besides the money will flow in our economy. Fools
The Nigerian content initiative does not exist under this government.
The president spends more time in foreign hospitals.
