As expected, there will be protest in the Kogi and Akwa . Any one who understands Nigeria will be suicidal to invite a nuclear plant to his or her neighborhood.
Russia and Nigeria planning a nuclear in one's backyard is a remedy for disaster.

I have a dream that one day, Nigeria will be in the first five

Dream on dreamer. Maybe once we cleanse half of the population.

yes...I wan begin go bayelsa now to go cause the chaos... ...that guy had everytin,had the chance to change our lives as bayelsans and niger deltans but threw it into the dust bin...what is there to welcome him...he would never learn nor realize the mistake he has made... ...nonsense...they should just shun him and his wife like they never existed...bayelsa state is still backward like never before...

True talk. The guy epitomizes the true definition of a failure. The money stolen by Diezani would transform the Bayelsa. Speaking of that b*tch; anyone seen her?

oduastates:


Mr it is that "me me me" attitude that is killing Nigeria and ASUU should know better. In a country where tribal and religious affiliation are pronounced, the academia is where you expect to get the uniformity, consensus, unity and the affirmation of ideas, ideology and direction.
ASUU I repeat,is a useless organisation. Apart from a few professors (Akin Oyebode, David west,Itse sagay,Pat utomi ) who put in an effort to shape the direction of the country, they are barely better than the road transport union.
One of them in ekiti( a professor in sociology wrote one useless article to spite fayemi.
An end to spreadsheet government.
I am like, "what they hell"?
I regard ASUU as no different from the road transport union.

Your gripe is misplaced. This clown- president was creating universities as tho he were creating a market. The creation of this institutions was political. These institutions ought be be scrapped as they offer no value to the already under-served, under-educated Nigerian youths. Gej's own academic exercise is an example of bad education; we don't want more of it.

This is the man who today is the key to the success of APC and everything APC rides on today.
Why he wasnt fielded as their presidential candidate will forever remain a mystery...then again its APC.

Meanwhile i was in Edo state the other day, i swear to God ramat park area is just how it was several years ago before the bypass to the east was created, nothing...i mean absolutely nothings changed. Federal govt tarred ugbowo road, the governor puts two lanes like service lanes beside the road and starts to claim he fixed the road. What the rant is about that man still remains a mystery to me.
Guess he needed it to psyche up his molato.

Aregbesola...that he goat came to lagos during campaign sat on a bus (you can take a beast out of the jungle but you definitely cant take the jungle out of the beast) bloody tout and was throwing money to the crowd meanwhile workers in his state had not been paid for months! If this isnt evil please tell me what is?

This is about Fashola. I still believe the man was robbed of an opportunity. Funny how APC stalwarts never see this? Posterity will show this is the best governor the state ever had and if APC had been a tad bit wiser, a better candidate for the presidency!

Then again its a party run by the vote of just one person.

I can only wish this man nothing but good success in his future endeavors.

This is politics, the best man is not always selected or elected by his or her own party. Strategically, GMB still gave APC the best chance to win.
On the other hand, a GMB victory will do more to solidify democracy in Nigeria as he will do more to fight corruption.

Time to start electing technocrats like Adesina. Imagine if we had an Adesina as petroleum minister or finance
minister.

Austin4lif:
thank u sir u understand what am saying. It will be hard for minorities to rule Nigeria again. Even if they win the primaries those with the highest population will decide. The south east man and SS will always be ruled. We are in a chain right now and we should cry out for freedom.

If clowns like you fail to narrate our recent history, how are we to expect you guys to give an accurate account of the 60s. Guys like you make the sanest among us want to thread the tribal lines.
This election, the results in the southwest, has nothing to do with tribal sentiments. We can bring a foreigner without knowledge of Nigerian history and he or she will objectively conclude that the southwest is the progressive region. It's in our DNA. when we clamored for GEJ most of you were in bed. When we dumped OBJ, most of you were still dreaming.
Since time immemorial, our people have believed in the right to pursue happiness and leaders who fail to adhere were summarily executed. Your whine about sentimental voting patterns is applicable every where in Nigeria but the southwest. And please tell me what the voting patterns of the SE and SS is based on,could that be based on FANTASTIC governance.

I still think GMB should be allowed to with impunity when it comes to matter of corruption. I will have no mercy of all this looters were executed. It is becoming apparent that the thievery of this administration is of monumental proportions.
The Lagos international airport will tell visitors they have arrived in a failed state. It's hot, the restrooms are atrocious, It is repulsive. I try to conduct business in other African countries as a result. The first impression is indeed a sign welcoming the unsuspecting visitor to the jungle.

WOCKHARDI:
.Please we did not elect APC to waste our time and divert our attention with ' PROBE '.
Every thing the last administration did will be contained in the Hand Over Notes. Any queries and misunderstandings can be sorted out amicable between the two leaders. That's how it is done.
APC should get on with delivering their campaign promises and stop flogging a dead horse.

You should be done away with for making such a statement. So a peasant like you want business as usual in a nation massively indebted. Myopic dunces like yourself needs the mercy of a firing squad. Without people like you Jonathan would have been a better man.

The rest of Africa will see this and laugh at una. Our current production is not enough to power a town in some countries.
The activity or lack thereof on this thread also underscores what we prioritize. If na Yansh-talk or tribal page go long sotey.
While GEJ has been a failure, our epileptic power supply is generations in the making. Thanks to IBB, Abacha, bigger thanks to OBJ and GEJ, and how can I leave out our gullible masses who continue to suffer and smile while beating chest as the giant of Africa.

when we mention stock market

i can only imagine stock fish in the market..


esp in a country like ours where council members of the NSE could manipulate prices for thier selfish gains if they wanted to.
a lot of diverted funds.

and little or nothing is done to protect investments of citizens..

but besides what is stock market when our industries are non existent?

Good points. I laughed when someone advised me to invest in naija's stock market. One is better off rolling dice or going to a casino with his or her money. The Nigerian economy is not mature enough. All we have are some sharp guys looking for quick bucks from gullible.
Until the infrastructure is built, we need not dream of making money on the stock market. There's a n invincible bottleneck weighing down our industrieS due to lack of infrastructure. This lack makes it impossible to project and forecast growth for the well managed companies with potential.
This is another example of how corruption and malfeasance has ruined the nation.

Mogidi:
How come this guru of economics refused to share his expertise with APC governors?
Some haven't paid salaries for 7 months.

Because inflationary spending prescribe is beyond the power of state governors.

I remember greece experiencing power cut for their first tym ever. it was news, international news. few people died from shock and anxiety, accidents, and a whole lot of others were crying like they were at a funeral. i bet the "resilient Nigerian grp association" in here feel much better than the greeks. I'm sure.

Our Padilla go be the chairman

sweetorgasm:
CRAP!!!! hw can u say Nigerians are happy people when poverty is destroying d citizens n price of fuel is 300 naira? and hw dare u say Nigerians are beautiful? hav u ever been to columbia?

I concur. I was telling a fool on the other thread, about the Ghanaian who mocked the Nigerians electricity predicament, that our lack of infrastructure is nothing to smiling about.
While the country and the people have a lot to offer. I still find it hard to imagine why naijans are the happiest people on earth; maybe be we have adapted has a species and suffering is now in our DNA.

kilokeys:
we can stand it cos we are resilient..

u would definitely run mad if u try imitating us.

black dead stars

You and everyone liking your comment are slow mofos.
You mean to tell me that living in abject poverty is something to boast about!
This is what is called suffering smiling.
If you all take to the streets and protest like the Ghanaian mentioned, then maybe this would have changed a long time ago.
Many die as a result of lack of electricity. Many dreams are unfulfilled as a result of lack of electricity. And you want to come here and yarn rubbish. You and your liners can go to he'll.
This is nothing but false pride if you ask me.

And trust me most normally people who are used to steady electricity will run mad Without power for an hour.

That's what I noticed too. A day labourer in America; A construction consultant for naija. I no blame am tho.

BEST COMMENT EVER ON NAIRALAND.
#BEST COMMENT EVER
The current crop of leaders are expecting the younger generation to play house boy till 50. They truly have no expectations Of us.
Young people demand yours, and chase the old crazy bald corrupt men out me town.

mmsen:


Dangote is worth more than most of them and EPL has financial fair play rules to stop financial doping - very few billionaires are high liquidity.

Abramovich is worth 9 billion. Kronke is worth 6. The Glazers are worth 4.5. Only Man City's sheikh has more money than Dangote.

With an asset like Arsenal FC he could easily borrow from UK banks if needed.

Abramovich's was cash, liquid assets. Kronke also got in with liquid assets by selling other holdings.For Dangote to buy into the Premier league he would have to open his books up and I don't think he would be comfortable with that.
While he might be able to raise the funds, the business man in him would rather put the money in to a venture that would generate more than ownership of a soccer team.
A net worth can go form a billion to a million in a day. Cash is always king.

highmood:
Nice. This is a type of action I have expected these countries where our politicians, thier children and colleagues go for wasteful holidays to have taken. Its not enough to say they are helping us recover our stolen wealth, but they should make laws to prevent them from even coming to lodge the money in thier country.
If these politicians should fortunately steal, it will even be better and understandable if the money is seen to have been reinvested here but our pain is that the stolen billions are taken where it will never be productive but wasteful thereby impoverishing Nigeria citizens the more.

Good point. If they were reinvesting and creating jobs maybe the impact of their loot would be minimal. But sinc e they have no respect for money, they abuse it in wasteful and unimaginable indulgence. It should be against the law for these politicians to own a foreign account.

Premier league ownership is for billionaires with high liquidity. Dangote never reach this level now. Give him another 10 years till he gets his refinery going. This is strictly cash matters, unless the naija Mugu banks want to finance this purchase. Dangote his highly leveraged for now.

Sweetguy25:
Nothing to fear. Government being short of funds doesn't mean that the economy is in a terrible shape.

You no no book , guy. We are a one trick pony, one resource economy. With nothing to export and oil prices at $50/barrel. The outlook is funny and dire. I wonder where your optimism emanates.

loomer:


So the state no go even try generate revenue, na just to de wait for allocations?

No mind them Yeye governors. Even when advised on how to generate I.R, they look the other way because they just want east money. Laziness and lack of vision is their main problem. I just pity those civil servants who can't seem to find a way out. I am also perplexed as to why these governors are still walking on the streets with out consequence.
Sometimes I doubt we're as tuff as we claim to be.

Why don't these legislator clowns also withhold their salaries like the good public servants they are.

Monkeys decorating monkey. I do like this guy due to his anti corruption stance. Yet he will be on a short leash. If he fails to come out swinging then this nation is heading for war. We cannot afford another wasted four years.
