We just seem to forget so quickly and easily. History should have taught us better. Many of these senators will for long remain in Nigeria's Hall of Shame. You can buy judgments but you cannot overule the verdict of the people!

Nigeria's House of Confusion and Commotion!

Should we say that they have now turned LYING into COMMON SENSE?

So busy on twitter that the fellow cannot read or consult with his colleagues!

You know something....why apologize to a woman who did nothing about the mess in NNPC....especially the fact that because we did not properly fix the refineries and add new ones under her rule.....we are in this mess.

1.You are paying N180 for fuel(it is still N86.50 in major marketers and NNPC fuel stations....higher in some independent marketers)....because the fuel subsidy.....WHICH YOU DO NOT WANT REMOVED....and which your new hero supported its removal....is preventing marketers from making profits....so as a result....they have to sell much higher than official price....or else they won't have the dollars needed to import.

2.Have you ever thought why we do not have the dollars for imports? It is because oil prices have fallen....so we can no longer waste dollars on everything.....we need it to keep up the naira....so that you sports fans wont be paying N100000 for a loaf of bread.

And if the subsidy goes.....you would be paying far higher for fuel. So...why are you complaining. Do you expect APC to diversify the economy in 10 months....when PDP and your new heroes did not do it in 16 years?

3.Ask your new hero why no new refineries were built? Even if the ones we have are working at full capacity....we would still need to import 23 million liters of fuel every day. And the reason prices stayed at N97-N87 per liter during her time was because...we had the dolalrs to import and subsidze the fuel at the same time. Now we do not...and now the decisions we made not to build new refineries has come back to haunt us.

4.Ask your heroes why at the end of their rule...they were still owing money to the marketers? That is why they refused to import...they were owing so much that they were in debt...and they still owe. Because....we no longer have the dollars to import since oil prices fell.

5.And is it now you are noticing we bought fuel at higher prices. I bought fuel at N102-110 during GEJ's time. I even know of people who bought fuel at N170 in Minna during GEJ time. And fuel in SE and SS was above N150 during GEJ's time. Indeed...it was only Lagos and Abuja that sold fuel at N97 during GEJ's time....in the very outskirts of ABuja.....fuel was sold as high as N140. during gej'S TIME.

6.What would solve this problem is ......removal of subsidy. But that would put prices of fuel above N150....the same price you are complaining about....but fuel would flow. You are complaining about high prices....and yet...you paradoxically do not want the actual solution to your problem....apart from five new refineries?

Nigeria needs at least 23 million extra liters per day...in addition to the new 17 million liters of fuel per day.Some even put it at 53 million extra liters per day!

Abeg...why apologize to someone who spent all the time in office doing nothing to solve the problem....and hiding the problem via massive dollar influx to import fuel to paper the cracks. Nigeria needs new refineries and removal of subsidy. Things that your new heroine did not do ...and before anyone calls me zombie....things that the new APC govt must do if they want to sort this issue out once and for all.

Nigerians....

I doubt very much if they will understand you. We pray never to go back to the locust years, when oil sold consistently at over USD100 per barrel but Nigeria got worse off because the gold diggers could just not control their greed! They drove the country into coma. Yes, PMB and his team need to loosen up a bit and feel the pulse of the nation. But it is grossly below the belt to now start praising the people who drove us into this mess in the first place. By the way, the queues are beginning to dissappear in Lagos. We urge the FG to work hard to sustain the improvement. As they approach the second year, they have to find ways to reduce the sufferings in the land.

Truly, truly, all of mankind need Jesus Christ for salvation of our souls. Truly, many are in need of deliverance in these days we live in.

Those who call this witch-hunting should look for some evidence and send to EFCC so they can witch-hunt more people.....

Democracy has not really succeeded in Nigeria because a good number of the players are croo....!

Only in Nigeria!

Nonsense that does not make sense. People that really served this country were left to die on queues waiting to collect peanuts as salaries while the self imposed lords will even have their pensions multiplied after service....

Nonsense.

Because 'stealing is not corruption' some Nigerians have turned it into an export initiative!

So Nigeria should continue as the dumping round of all kinds of Made in Chuna junk, because Customs want to collect more duty?

Where is the USD to fund that? I am dissapointed that a CEO will push this kind of argument.

We want more local production and export. If China can produce, so can we.

You see why they wanted to ban SOCIAL MEDIA?

They have too many skeletons. I would have been very surprised if these men were not named!

First, a good number of people go into those places, CBN, FIRS etc do not do so because the salaries are big.

Secondly, there were reports recently that top politicians, who are already very rich have smuggled their kids into CBN.

Why do you think they do that?

Unfortunately, some Nigerian rulers have enjoyed so much loot and have taught their children how to continue after them. This is why Nigerians must demand that employment into those places must be 100pct transparent and 100pct on merit.

Why is there such a rush to go to CBN? By the way, the rush to Immigration Ministry, Police, places you claim have lower salaries, is far more than the rush to CBN and NNPC? Why is that?

I thought that if the children of the rulers are really competenet (after all the millions spent to go abroad for education) they should be applying to GTB, First Bank, afterall these guys pay much more!

Yes, civil servants should earn well. The issues are larger than that. It borders on the rulers and the rich wanting to hold Nigeria captive forever.

Is he the one that called our amiable and hardworking VP a mere commissioner? Now he is the mere 'accused'!

LionInZion:
A big test for Buhari govt. I am just watching and waiting to see the final. And for those who are calling it witchhunting, I ask again, is Saraki innocent of all the charges? What is your business if politicians witch hunt fellow politicians? Let successive govts probe, witch hunt and wizard hund themselves and see how Nigeria would rise again. If politicians know someone wld check their books after their tenure, they will be less reckless.

Thank you. A lot of people just talk without sense. Who cares about witch hunt? If Saraki has documents against Tinubu and PMB he should also throw them into the open!

He spoke my mind and the mind of many Nigerians.

People must realize that the enemies of Nigeria are Nigerians and they are your average politician and office holders with the exception of just a very few.

We have civil lords and not civil servants. Security people are more interested in their usual narrative of 'your boys are under the sun' than anything else.

Every where you turn it is like the government is warring against the people and the rich are warring against the poor. Yet, the por cannot discern and would spend all the venom to defend the politician from his village while commenting on NL.

Our mindsets are something else.

NEVER AGAIN.

They plot to return Nigeria to LOOTOCRACY and Cluelessness.

Their breed of politicians are all over the place but Nigerians are wiser. We must be wise to vote out those who share our commonwealth and leave peanuts in the treasury, the peanuts that have left our education, health, power and other sectors in coma.

Nonsense.

Why would anyone post this to the public? Has he been charged to court and convicted by a court?

It was never going to be easy to clean up the mess of 6 years, or 16 years.

Change is never easy.

If the last tenure had continued Nigeria may have bled to death now!

People are beginning to respect Nigeria again.

Back to SCS, simple common sense!

You dont scrap a good idea unless you have a better one.

Lagosians would just have added another Saturday to the endless PARTY weekends!

And again, someone just remembered you dont scrap a LAW with a statement. Big goof!

Trainee leaders!

So who is Dino?

He must come up with an alternative idea to maintain that culture of 'lets keep our environment clean'. If there is no audacious plan then the governor has only succeeded in taking Lagos twenty five years backward!

I recollect that the same attitude has resulted in Lagosians no longer reespecting traffic lights and Okadas no longer taking safety precautions. Before he was elected people dared the traffic light but not any longer.

YOU DONT SCRAP A GOOD IDEA UNLESS YOU HAVE A BETTER ONE TO REPLACE IT!

Simple Common Sense. SCS!

slinkky:
The same people complaining and urging the president to sign the budget without him knowing the details of the amendments made by the National Assembly, will be the same people that will call the president a dullard for signing a budget without reading it, if he's to sign it now and some mistakes or fraudulent insertion were to be discovered in the budget after he signed.

Thank you.

The house is a major clog to our progress. The serve more as obstacles than anything. Nigeria should demand for their record sheet as much as they make demand to the executive. Wht did they pass? They should send a copy to the President. The budget is a law. How can you sign something into law when you have not seen the content?

The house is the one delaying here not the President. If they mean well they should send the passed budget to the President today.

No Comment!

But why are Nigerians so terribly corrupt?

10,000 ghost workers? In a state as poor as bauchi?

Spot on.

Truly great men create solutions and not problems to society.

When i was i kid, i used to think all grownups were saints, that its only we kids that were bad, we lie,snitch, steal peices of meat from the soup pot, break our little sister pencils secretly in revenge...
But as i grew older, i came to realize that grownups are very very very bad.
Your excellency...you are a very bad man.

You wonder why they want their kids to work in CBN!. They cant take their eyes off the money.

The sad part is that some (I think not all) actually train their wives and children on the wicked ugly art of looting public funds.

Semantic nonsensity!

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH OKUPE ON THIS.

STOP THE USE OF YOUTH CORPERS FOR ELECTIONS NOW. NOW,NOW! FG, ACT NOW.

FOR WIKE AND AMAECHI, I SUSPECT THEY WILL BOTH HAVE A DATE AT THE HAGUE VERY SOON. HOW HAS POLITICAL RIVALRY GONE SO BAD?

RIVERS IS A HORROR FILM RIGHT NOW. RIVERS IS A BAD DREAM.

RIVERS OF BLOOD, WHEN WILL YOU TURN A NEW LEAF?

RIVERS OF BLOOD.

FG, WHY?

WIKE, WHY?

AMAECHI, WHY?

RIVERS PEOPLE, WHY?
