Ride on, great GEJ!

I will be your campaign manager in South West.

Please transfer 100 million dollars only into my account.

I assure you 100 million votes! Dont worry.

So silly!

Clueless!

What is parallel market? It exists anywhere you have shortages in the official market.

Now you want to switch operators. How would you monitor banks? Are they not more corrupt?

Shows you they have run out of ideas.

I thought that paid e-rats can be notorious, but what would yu say about paid street-rats?

Never trust SINATORS!

herzern:
I Dont qet this.


Has MMM been scrapped??

No, no! They are just wishing their customers happy holidays.

When a ploitician tells you something is true, the chances are high that you just heard a lie! When he tells you it is a lie, and asks you not to believe it, chances are high that you have heard the truth!

That is how to recognize a politician!

Ever since I can recolect leaders have always spoken about how great the budget is. They should have run short of ideas now. We have heard of budget of grwoth, budget of expansion, budget of hope, budget of consolidation, wonder budget, budget of prosperity, budget of budgets...and so on.

Nigerians want to ask PMB - What has hapenned to your 2016 budget? What new road has the FG construced? What airport has been renovated? What has been actualized?

Budget is NOTHING, if there is no execution.

The administration has grossly derailed.

Redemption ko, remittance ni!

In my opinopn, VIO should be scrapped.

They let unmotorable vehicles pass and stop new cars and jeeps. Those ones can pay!

Every commercial vehicle is stopped. The delay will cost the owner a lot. Those ones too can pay.

They will always find you guilty, and then they offer themselves as 'consultants' to help you out!

They move in swarms and terrorise motorists. You can count like 6 of them stopping and questioning one motorist.

They show no pity. In fact they behave like touts in uniform.

Most of the are fat-bellied.

SCRAP VIO. Lastma is enough.

Government should become friendly and NOT HOSTILE to law-abiding citizens. That is the CHANGE we want to see.

What on earth is NYSC useful for outside counting ballot papers which is often rigged at the end of the day? According to Trump, the system is all rigged! SCRAP NYSC NOW!

Saraki - sounds like you are the only dynamic person in the regime, please act.

APC may be under-performing but PDP is clearly not it. PDP would have destroyed Nigeria in no time.

What constiutes the N976billion?

How much of that is PMS? How much is on Champagne?

This is not a good explanation by the CBN. Shows lack of depth?

Yes, it is true that we should not be importing oranges and tangarines et, but we ought to deal with those larger drains, like PMS!

Perhaps, if we succeed in stopping PMS import and also stop Champagne, the Naira will stop haemorrhaging.

Let us have some depth.

APC is finished because the performance of their 'national leader' in government is far far below expectation. APC party chairman does not seem to carry any weight. The party is in tatters, thanks to the approach by the 'leader' that was even openly condemned by his wife!

To think you can easily wish away Tinubu in SW? That is a miscalculation.

Tinubu has his excesses, but he performs. He nominated Osinbajo, who by all standards is a thorough presidential material (dont mind that this FG has not given him a chance) and also Ambode (after Fashola) who is really making good moves in Lagos. Tinubu performed well as governor and has set the standard in the country since then.

Right now the seeming poor performance of PMB and his seeming drive for 2019 is the undoing of both APC and CPC. New parties may emerge, otherwise, PDP will snatch the centre again and finally nail APC.

Akeredolu did not need this explanation. He only worsened the matter and opened wounds, even before stepping into office. He may realise soon that a tree cannot make a forest. Going to 2 years, his sponsor has been making the same mistake and he has lost popularity across the country.

Why open wounds when you can heal it? This is not a good sign!

omofunaab:
Seriously i wish Nigeria could organize a referendum.

Enough of distractions, anybody that wants to leave should be allowed to do so and should be willing to bear the consequences


This nation needs to focus, anybody that is not interested in the Nigerian project should be allowed to leave

True. And you can be sure that the biggest agitators will be the first to vote to remain. The genuine and exposed ones believe there is strength in being together but the political pundits will not stop using the gullible to create confusion and in the process ascend to posts and/or make money.

Stop calling everyone a pastor. Call them 'self-acclaimed'! There is no where in the Bible where people are given concotion to drink.

Anyone giving concotions to people cannot claim to be a pastor in bibilcal terms.

All at a time when a past president who knows what he was saying accused our parliament as a house of unarmed robbers.....when budget padding sends billons into private pockets......when no one knows what the senate budgets or spends.......when some senators employ up to 100 special assistants......when Jibrin accused his colleagues of sharing government funds......why cant they go and tax these hudreds of billions?

Where did the government agents get the money shared at the Ondo election?

Do they tax those election bribes?

They just keep collecting....as I write no light!!!

It is always convenient to compare with 'other countries' when they want to tax but they NEVER do when they talk about benefits and amenities!

You send your children to PRIVATE school, light up your house with PRIVATE generators, provide water for yourself with PRIVATE bore-hole, hire security for your community on PRIVATE basis.....fix the road to your street PRIVATELY..and yet more and more tax on PUBLIC basis.

No wonder dasuki had a lot to share to those people as alleged. And on those sharings, there were NO taxes!

Man proposes.......

PMB should face the business of governance instead of scheming for a second term....He needs to be told that his government is grossly underperforming and has become very unpopular. So many people who voted for him have ported..and they will vote 'Anyone But Buhari -ABB' in any new election.

Even the book is ill-advised.

Dulux on humans!

Treating Malaria in UAE?

That is self-assasination - They dont know what Malaria is over there.

Just pray he gets well quick and stop the lies.

What does this man do for a living?

Nigeria should really be proud of this couple. Simple, hardworking and modest.

Its called the CRISIS of PARENTING. Or call it CRISIS of FATHERS!

5 MILLION NAIRA PER PLOT!!!!!!

GREED!

WHEN THAT CHURCH GOT THERE NO ONE WILL EVEN PAY 50,000 PER PLOT.

GREED!!!

If it is true send the details to the Police.

Not enough sending photos to NL.

dabossman:
While your point is valid, a loose ended law like the one being proposed is not the answer. If anyone is suspected of stealing public funds, let them be investigated and prosecuted just like the case of the judges who are currently under investigation.

At a point in time Italian Lira was like toilet paper. They had to make drastic laws to stem the influence of the mafia. They changed their currency, leaving a window for people to move cash into the banks. Their currency has now recovered fully. The Senate has not seen the proposed amendments. Nobody has seen a draft. They have just said it is in the works and the objective is to curtail the habit of keeping USD cash in Nigerian homes. Genuine workers and business people have USD cash in dom accounts, maybe they keep on hand as well. But the looters seem to have billions stored up. Is that ok for our country?

Indeed anyone should be allowed to keep his money in the currency he wants. We need to be liberal and to promote enterprise but not to encourage lawlessness and looting. Corruption is so endemic in Nigeria and its killing the nation.

When a patient is sick he must be ready to take bitter pills! Our country is like a patient in intensive care right now!

In the recent Nigerians were screaming to high heavens that they needed a benevolent dictator (like they had in Ghana - and mind you, Ghana is now rising and rising) and now, they are complaining and screaming, they dont want any draconian law. We are running in circles.

A sick patient that complains the pill is bitter and wont take it might find himself where he does not want.

May it not become too late for this nation.

It's good to see that the members of the Senate have some respect for private property rights, even if Buhari's government seems not to understand what that means. Seizing the funds of private citizens is nothing other than theft, unless it can be shown that the funds in question were earned illegally.

Countries with sensible monetary policies have no need to send security agents to ransack peoples houses for foreign exchange; only in basket-cases like Zimbabwe and Venezuela does one see such things going on. If anyone ever doubted that Buhari is utterly ignorant of economics, this latest nonsensical policy is all the proof one requires. Its only result will be to worsen the shortage of foreign exchange, as now no one will want to take the risk of having their remitted forex seized by the government on a flimsy pretext.

I follow your argument. It is just that Nigeria is peculiar in so many respects. We do things that are abnormal and things you wont hear off anywhere else. It is only in Nigeria that a state governor can corner a big part of his state's money, change it to dollars and keep in his house! Or where else will a judge keep one million dollars in his house. CBN is not seizing funds that are kept in the bank. They are just looking to get the dollars into the banking system, not in roofs and wardrobes!

Will moral suasion work? I dont think so.

We have become more of a mafia state, where the rich are very lawless. Miltancy and terrorism is funded with dollars kept in houses.

Of course, the senators will reject it. How else will they keep their 'sharings'?

I think Nigeria cannot afford extreme liberalism. It has not worked and may never work.

No one knows how much of SUD is sitting in homes of Nigerians, particular government workers, leaders and civil servants! As long as we save in USD and keep the USD in homes, our Naira will continue to suffer.

How much do you expect a good professor to earn in a year? N600,000?
I think thats how much a primary school teacher should earn in good times. University education is expensive - to hire profs, build labs, sponsor research etc. Church is not government! Their universities should at least meet the cost of running them.

Freeby mentality is very unprodutive!

saintmark88:
Mortgage D future of unborn Nigerians with a paltry sum of $29billion....really laughable.

There is no country Tht doesn't borrow, no individual who doesn't borrow..... Y do we politicize tinz, didn't D last administration borrow and no one made a fuss about it.

Nigeria has a problem. So many young grdauates are uneducated and do not care to research things. They think people are intelligent just because they oppose government ideas.

The USD30 billion is not a loan to FG but the cumulative of loans being sought by various levels of government for development purposes over a medium term period.

How does a country develop its infrastructure if it does not take loans?

Even individuals borrow money to buy houses - If they have to save they will wait forever! They will remain tenants just because they have not learnt the art of financing.

Dont mind all those commenting here, and just opposing FG for nothing.

Fayose just talks. He is a man to be ignored. He only takes care of peoples' stomachs and cares less about their future!
