Meanwhile a busy-body Lagos lawyer has filed a suit against Buhari for delaying in appointment of Ministers. This is comical. Wetin pesin no go see for dis naija sef ![]() .: |
Feranmicharles:Certainly, not me. I get time?? |
The President seems seriously pained that Nigerians are piling pressure on him to get moving. Can't really blame the people, because the impression given was that immediately he assumes office, action will follow without any delay. I do sympathise with the President, though. The man seems to be walking on egg shells, and he does not want to break any. My believe is that President Buhari, should just get moving. He should go ahead and appoint his ministers, if it turns out that any of them is involved in past misdeed, he should not drop him, he should make an example of such fellow. With the culture of corruption and graft that has characterised governance in Nigeria since Babangida's time, Buhari will have to wait till 2019 and beyond to get perfect Ministers, without blemish. Even, after then he still will not find enough to make up his cabinet. That is the bitter truth.

Earlier Presidential Transition Committee had indicated that subsidy will be removed. This was reported in Vanguard newspaper of today, 22 June 2015. The Transition Committee is yet to deny the report. Difficult to know what to believe again. Too many conflicting policy statements from the new government. It is not healthy. vanguard: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/06/buhari-to-remove-oil-subsidy/#sthash.xfkFqSxK.dpuf |
President Buhari has not made any decision to eliminate the oil subsidy for Nigerians, according to a phone conversation SaharaReporters had with Femi Adesina. Mr. Adesina, the Special Adviser to the President for Media and Publicity, told Sahara Reporters that “those reports have not come out of the President’s Office, so I cannot confirm them.” It was previously reported that President Buhari planned on carrying out recommendations from reports out of the Transition Committee, including the removal of oil subsidies to fund education and food for students across the country. In addition to these recommendations, earlier reports said that President Buhari planned to decentralize and split the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), to ensure the production and delivery of petroleum products is efficient and cheap. Mr. Adesina also could not respond to rumors that President Buhari planned to run the Oil Ministry himself, to maximize efficiency and prevent corruption in that sector.

Ahmed4002:True. OP @AhmedKano created his moniker about 2 hours, today 20th June 2015 just to stoke ethnic war. His expectations will not happen by God's grace. |
anonimi:Was just speaking tongue-in-cheek regarding his pot pelly. But seriously, his Ovation business is not political in orientation. He features everybody who pay him and their social events. It is just like social advertisement. He features both his political opponents and friends. It is like running a supermarket, private school or hospital. You don't offer service only to those who agree with your political views. |
I like the idea of the Presido, chilling out on weekends in his farm to take a break from the tedious task of running Nigeria. These breaks at his homestead are healthy for him, rather than what we used to hear before his inauguration that he is going to London to rest. We should encourage this. What I would worry about is if he tries to micro-manage the running of the farm now that he has a huge job to run Nigeria, and deliver on his campaign promises as the first picture seems to suggest. He should appoint capable and trusted hands to run things for him. Kudos to the Presido. Carry on. Click "like" if you share this view.

Pirates who hijack and rob ocean going vessels do not hide in the creeks and villages of Akwa Ibom. They operate in the high seas especially in sea approach to Lagos, Port Harcourt and around Benin Republic. Lots of imported petroleum products are hijacked at high seas this way with active connivance of Nigerian Navy senior officers. Criminals who steal crude oil and ship them out using large tankers clearly aided and abetted by Nigerian Navy and JTF operate offshore Rivers and Bayelsa states. There is no JTF commander (usually, officers of the rank of Major General or Brigadier General) or Navy Commander of Eastern and Western Naval Command who is not involved in these illegal stealing and sale of Nigerian crude oil from pipelines. This is why the lobbying to be posted to these "juicy commands" is usually very fierce. These so-called bombings of Akwa Ibom creeks to kill pirates is a ruse and a big fraud to deflect the attention of Mr President from their lucrative business. Click "like" if you share this view. President Buhari should start the clean up from the within the military hierarchy. The enemy is residing within. |
anonimi:True bro. And like I added later "if Mandela had allowed emotions to rule his heart, he could have reduced South Africa to ruins as well. Thank God for that wise Madiba. He tempered the anger and impatience of South African blacks yearning for economic empowerment. For this he received many accolades including the Nobel Peace prize". I agonise a lot about the condition and plight of the black man everywhere. Whether in Africa or in America where they have been there for over 2 centuries. They simply don't seem to get their acts together in areas where they have total control. Either, they are messing up what others have laboured to build, or they fall flat on their faces if they have to start from scratch. Sad thing is that the secret to building a prosperous and successful society (modern nations) is not hidden in a text book. You don't even need to have a great education to know it. Living examples like China, Singapore, etc are all there for them to simply copy. Yet, they won't. Are we eternally doomed to failure and backwardness? |
anonimi:I think what @bushdoc9919 meant by "desolate" is that some of the huge track of land held by white farmers were not cultivated, whilst many blacks had no farm holdings at all. It was a ZANU-PF key promise during the war of liberation from white rule. Mugabe had to implement land reforms, but he went about it in a land grab manner. Taking very productive land under cultivation and giving them to ZANU-PF party officials on cronyism basis. The black party officials who took them over simply wanted to do land speculation (re-sale to make profit). They never cultivated the land or kept livestock to generate economic activities the way white farmers did. Many white farmers still wanted to stay, but there were consistent raiding of white farms, killings and rapes as a form of retaliation by so-called ZANU-PF war veterans. Mugabe did nothing to stop it. Eventually, one after the other the white farmers relocated to South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, America, or UK. Some even came to Kwara State in Nigeria as late as during Gov Saraki's time. And off course, with the way white farmers were being treated, most of whom were of British descent and were loyal to the old racist Rhodesian regime which Britain supported, Britain did their own damage by engineering economic sanctions. Over time, this tipped Zimbabwe over the scale. A very big lesson, that we have to pick the fight we can win in the long run. If Mandela had allowed emotions to rule his heart, he could have reduced South Africa to ruins as well. Thank God for that wise Madiba. He tempered the anger and impatience of South African blacks yearning for economic empowerment. For this he received many accolades including the Nobel Peace prize |

Just to prove that these people are all trillionaires. Let us do some Zim mathematics: Let us assume every Zim should be worth at least 1US $ If 40 cents (0.4 US$) = 100 trillion Zim $ Therefore, 1US$ = 100 trillion Zim $ /0.4 = 250 trillion Zim $. See what I mean?? They are all rich folks ![]() |
barcanista:Very correct. They are all trillionaires or perhaps quadrillioniares. That is why I said Zim people are the richest people on planet earth. ![]() |

The Central Bank of Zimbabwe has announced a plan to completely phase out the Zimbabwean currency. Beginning on Monday, Zimbabwean bills can be exchanged for U.S. dollars at the rate of 175 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars for every $1 US Dollar. That means a holder of a 100 trillion bank note will only get 40 cents in US Currency. Zimbabwe abandoned its currency in 2009 for a system based on the U.S. dollar and the South African Rand. At the time even street hawkers refused to accept the country’s highest note of $100 trillion. At the peak of the nation's inflation, Zimbabweans had to carry plastic bags full of money to buy basic goods like bread and milk. Prices of goods were rising at least twice a day. Some members of President Robert Mugabe’s party, the ZANU-PF, have called for the return of the Zimbabwean dollar. However, even the country’s Finance Minister, Patrick Chinamasa, has repeatedly said that the U.S. dollar “is here to stay.”
