Talk of Intimidation and bullying.

why should the senate always try to use their powers to intimidate any person that brings their alleged infractions to the fore.(the case of Malami of cct comes to mind).

Regardless of whatever might be the bone of contention, I don't think it will portend well if the senate is seen as one who would do any thing just to have its way

All the best

Kudos to our brave soldiers.

you are the true hero of the common Man

Whether MEND or SPOIL,

all I see is self-motivated gesture from some criminal element, in the guise of activism and is self-determination struggles.

JixNation:
Nice one FTC

You don belleful .


*back to the topic*

good development,

its high time we stopped living in the illusion that we can only make a headway by white collar jobs.
I personally believe that our university curriculum should pay more attention to courses that encourages entrepreneurial development, rather than just academic lessons.

Lord have mercy. No matter how hard hearted you are as a human, you shouldn't hurt a creature as beautiful as this. This is disgustingly appalling..

intact, this is animal cruelty at its height .

More saddening to think that dolphins are very friendly Animals

Notwithstanding, its does not augur well for majority of the masses.

Sometimes, I just wonder if anything could work in Nigeria.

Another Excuse my broda..Below is the Link that shows how much oil was sold since 1946,It never sold for $100 under OBJ and he did wonders..Please look at the link..

http://inflationdata.com/Inflation/Inflation_Rate/Historical_Oil_Prices_Table.asp

Also,OBJ even inherited a debt of $30Billion..Paid about $12Billion and was able to have the rest written off by the Paris Club..He brought in Great Nigerians that changed things..he never complained about what the Military did for one Day..He meet a near empty treasury..The APC Meet Billions..Approximately 30Billion naira in Foreign reserves.

Abegi between now when PDP Handed over to APC and when the Military handed over to PDP in 1999,which was much worse?I guess you know the truth..1999 was worse,and OBJ came in and did wonders that was why he could win a Landslide in 2003 and all throughout the federation especially the southwest that did not vote for him in 1999..So stop complaining,things where much more worse in 1999,OBJ did not shout..Mr Bubu shld not take us back to pre 1999 with hes archaic policies.The same thing he did in 1983-84 he is doing now..I am not surprised,person wey no succed under military,na hin go succed under democracy wey get checks and balances..Thank You..

Thanks for the clarifications

However, you can't compare 1999 to 2016 based on so many factors,

1.during the period spanning objs tenure, the population figure averaged 120 Million based on 2006 census. and thus, budget size was above a trillion Naira, unlike now where we have close to 200 million and government bureaucracy have grown exponentially to increase the budget figure to over 6 trillion.


2. you can't compare an import bill of less than 150 billion to 2016 where import bill is close to 1 trillion which of course puts pressure on the Naira and foreign reserve

Instructively, I hope you are aware that for the past 5 years recurrent expenditure have always been unevenly skewed against capital expenditure
(90 percent to 10).

Having, said that, its only rational to think that we've relied so much on cheap dollars and resting our hope on a dangerously volatile commodity to our own peril. it will only be plausible if the economy can be largely diversified and the culture of producing rather than consuming is well entrenched in our economy. rather, we chose to build an economy based on rent from the sale of natural resource without value addition.

Nonetheless, I'm not saying that this present administration does not have its failings, but let our expectations be hinged on existing realities.

Under OBJ,Oil price was $16,If you want the fact i can give you that..It did not go pass $70 under OBJ.He meet a debt of $40Billion.He was left with little or no money He did not blame the Military..Together with him and Okonjo Iweala,they toured the world asking for debt relive..he brought in great Nigerians who turned things around..Okonjo Iweala,Charles soludo,Nuhu ribadu,el-rufai..remi oyo,Dora Akunyili,etc.. Fast forward 2015,Mr Buhari brought in the same set of people that we have known for years..He meet Billions in coffers,all he can do is to complain,complain and complain..

perhaps, during the beginning of his tenure, but I know that at some point in his administration, he sold oil for 120 dollars or thereabout, this I'm certain of.

Besides, you mentioned NOI, I don't want to believe that you are not aware that the same NOI who made so much savings under obj s tenure have come to claim that the last dispensation (GEJ) had no political will to save into the excess crude account, thereby leaving nothing to absorb economic shock. And as matter of fact, she clearly confessed that Govt had to borrow to pay salary during some few months just when the administration was about to handover.

And speaking of Buhari meeting billions ,I'd like you to describe the accounts this billions were domicile.

We all say Buhari complains, but then do you take the blame of a crisis you did not cause. perhaps you don't understand that government is a continuum. Its like a chain reaction ,whatever occurs in the previous administration will definitely rub off on the present administration.

Need I remind you that Yaraduas administration was able to weather the storm due to savings in the excess crude account he inherited from obj and a very buoyant foreign reserve.

tonio2wo:
When did u see nigeria great before?

Not literally, when I say "SEE", I meant it figuratively.

I just want to see Nigeria great once more

happney65:
I wonder what OBJ should have said in 1999 when he meet a battered country from the Military..Yeye People..Keep on blaming..2019 is almost here

Under obj....

population 100 million
oil price 146 dollars from 20 something dollars per barrel or thereabout then.
Hence more money in the coffers of government and also more to pump in the economy.

Mind you, in a Mono-economic country, Highlighting the critical need for an economic diversification.

my opinion.

If that's the President's choice, who are we to dissent.


My concern is the good of all

A dream has just been cut short.


May his gentle soul Rip.

Corruption is Nigeria's Albatross.

I hope we get out of the woods before its to late.

May God help my country.
