Now show me your bicycle particulars - That will be the new thing if this happens!

PDP has suddenly become a joke!

But this is such a sad joke. That tells you what stuff politicians are made of - selfish, cunny and heartless sometimes.

They (PDP) declared days of mourning and would not even let that be over before they start dancing on the grave.

Our Senate has started again...summon, summon...that has no value addition but has all the distraction you can think of!

Nansense!

Please can someone help send this to the new box.

[size=20pt][b]Shine your eyes. The woam is holding a file. There is no handshake here! Look before you leap. Check the picture again before you comment. [/size]

Madam says: You wan kill my husband?

You better resign now before I send the file in my hand to DSS.

What I have here is the mother of evidence against you.

Act before I close my eyes!

Senate Chief replies : Relax, your husband is a Lagos champion. I will make him reduandant in Nigeria. Does he truly think he has a party? What is APC? A Passing Charade! It was a contraption we packaged to win election. Go and keep your file where it belongs in Bourdillon Road. Tell your husband, he is now retired. Also tell him that with that his boy he has put in Alausa, he can as well forget Lagos. CCB ko, FCC ni!

So, you even want to replace me as Senate chief? You think Nigeria is your backyard abi! I just dey laugh o, in English.

BBOG

That is what matters now.

We hope the 200 girls will spend Christmas with their families.

Make it happen.

Good effort.

He probably does not now there is a lot of difference in these climes. See the effort made by France in the last 9 days against the terrorists. See the arrests that have been made.

Here, our leaders will sit in their mansions and issue condemantion through their press secretaries.

Unless we build refineries in Nigeria to refine the whole damn thing,and start exporting refined products, as it is, selling crude is fast turning into real bad business.

You have made a very good point. However, please subject it to the W test.

WHO will build the refinery? FG? No way. They will build and paralyze it. Government CANNOT run any business. Private sector? Go and ask Dangote if there is any headway with the Lekki Refinery!

WHAT - For what? You mentioned export. Dont forget the law of competitive advantage. You can only export where your production price is much lower than other exporting countries. So, how do you achieve low production cost where everything thing is so expensive and where government is either FINING you or taxing you to coma? Go and ask MTN and the banks.

WHERE - In the north? That will be a big joke. In South East? Or South South? Ok, maybe in the South West. I pray o. For now, investors only trade in the stock exchange where they can sell within 24 hours and pick race.

We have to pray o. We are a bit far from El Dorado. The fact that government at al levels are not shwoing any sense of direction create more fears than hopes.

saint047:
There is no silence as loud as the one where your conscience keeps asking you "Did you even understand the #Change you campaigned for?"

You really hit it on the head.

Where is the plan? If there was none before election should they have not made one after they have won? Directors without direction? Ministers without agenda?

Do I even understand the change I campaigned for?

Legislators are back to the business of 'summons'. You wonder if the governors are governing states or ruling the night clubs!

What has changed?

You just want to make news.

Cashing in on the idleness of Nigerians and indeed their gullibility!

We will miss the Igbos in Lagos if they decide to go back home!

But do the Igbos really want to go home?

I am not sure what this agitation is for. Can somebody explain?

Is Nigeria not better as one?

No comment!

The US has stopped buying Nigeria's crude. Their pursuit of shale oil is part of the reason price of crude has dropped. So why should Nigeria not defend itself?

Why should they be bothered that Nigeria is no longer interested in funding import of toothpicks and fish?

Which sensible nation that is surrounded by water will be imprting rotten fish from far away south america? With all our forest of Iroko trees, why should it be difficult to make toothpicks?

Looks like someone wants to use us dumping ground forever. Meanwhile they wont allow us carry elubo and garri through their airports, even when they are meant for our own household consumption.

Can you imagine?

Great team.

Let us support them in prayers.

PMB has shown good leadership and has returned Nigeria to seriousness. Let us support him.

This is no jamboree. Quite a number of these ministers are hardworking.

Good move.

all these ikengawo and barcanista of this nairaland are bunch of ignorant mofos , uncivilised, uncut and unrefined.

MNCs has always been making abnormal profits in Nigeria .... MNCs rendered services that is not citizen oriented, more powerful than regulatory agency and do not give a hoot about Nigeria other than profit, profit and profit.

All MNCs in the Oil sector operating in NigerDelta, if they should be made to clean up ogoni land and many other communities affected by oil spillage which is normal global standard operating procedure, do you think their profit would be as high as being quoted.

what these MNCs did in Nigeria and are doing , they dear not try it in any advanced nations......... They are here just to make money simple while contributing little to sustainability.

imagine the lackadaisical attitude of MTN to the government policy on simcards .......... Useless mtn think it is business as usual .... Am on MTN network but when a company disregard our policy on our own soil, then she should face the music or ship-out.

oil companies on clean up and many other non citizen oriented services rendered by others.

The era of lack of political and intellectual will to deal with these MNCs is over, the era of Jonathan, Yar'adua and obasanjo is over .....

New Sheriff is in town, only MNCs which care about Nigeria and Nigerians should stay behind to make legitimate money, only investors who wants to make legitimate ROI should stay behind ...... for those ones who have come in through backdoors, bribery and corruption through their unpatriotic accomplice in government, they are free to leave.

Majority of MNCs and other FDIs came into Nigeria through corruption because Nigeria is one hell of a country with abnormal and illegitimate return on investment, Now they are taking away their money cuz Government is imposing citizen oriented service which shall rub them off their ill gotten wealth.

let them all go, they will come back when they are ready for legitimate deals and they should allow genuine investors to take over our huge market.

PMB is making the grounds for the good ones to come and the bad ones to pack and go!

So called MNCs have not been participating in our development. All their offices and homes are in Ikoyi and they dont want to know what Nigeria is about. They just want to make their money and ship out. Ask them, they themselves tell you that they will get away with anything in Nigeria and there is no other country like ours where anything goes and where they feel evenryone has a price tag!

Cannot be true....

SuperNover:
the things i see in this country leave me in a lugubrious state.
Nigeria is a country where mediocrity is accepted by the majority.
politicians come in and promise us goodies during campaigns, they promise to change the country for good.
but just after we elect them into power, they change their ways and act like they never promised anything at all.
but what pains me most is the attitude of the masses, we always feel euphoric whenever our leaders are around, we treat them like celebrities, we worship and honor them like demigods. never have the masses come together to criticize a ruling government, we Nigerians need to learn to subject the government to pressure and criticism, we need to learn to show our true feelings, i went home for vacation not long ago, and there was uninterrupted power for 12 hours that day which was unusual of PHCN, then when the power was interrupted, i overheard my neighbor say something like 'at least they tried today'. and i was like, "really" for real, i was irked by that singular comment of his, some countries enjoy perfectly uninterrupted power year in year out, total blackout is unheard of in some countries (even here in africa), for crying out loud, is constant power supply too much to ask for? it seems Nigerians are too comfortable with thew way things are in this country, we celebrate mediocrity, we feel our leaders are doing their best, whereas in reality, our leaders are far from doing their best,
hon Amaechi once said 'politicians steal because Nigerians do not throw stones at them', and yes, he is right, we need to learn to hold the government responsible for their misdeeds. enough of 'at least our governor is trying na"
i'm not impressed at all, it's saddening that in the whole 36 state there's just no governor that is getting it right.
only in Nigeria you'll see people go into politics with the sole aim of enriching themselves.
in Nigeria when you hear that someone is a politician, you just unconciously know the person is strikingly rich. even without being told.

Nigerians, this is our time, let us learn to pressure our leaders until they start doing things right.

thank you

all these may continue until Nigerians stop voting for crooked people in elections. goats will not elect sheep as their leader!

They should tighten the checks at the airports now....Why buy USD when you dont want BVN? It means that a lot of shady things have been going on.

The champions of stealing in the past administration were y....!

Terrible news.

US tried this and years after, guns have replaced prayers in schools.

This is a terrible development that must be stopped quickly.

They should please walk home and not go back to that place. For once, that will bring sanity to the place.

Imagine that they had a chance to question him but they KEPT MUTE. On that day, their case was CLOSED. It is all theatre, all drama. I dont think they really want to stop Amaechi. They only want to pretend to some fellow somewhere that they are still 'loyal' meanwhile they are not!

Amaechi may head for Education! That will really complicated things for hos enstranged friend!

Produce your evidence and send to UK government to help catch the 'northern thieves'.

When the 'Ijaw man' was there why didnt he catch the thieves? Why did he dodge by claiming that 'stealing' was not corruption?

Donald Trump was probably right after all!

So, now the new competition in Africa is who STOLE more!

Chai.

CHAI, DONALD, WHY ABUSE US LIKE THIS?

IT SOUNDS LIKE AN INSULT TO AFRICANS BUT IT IS NOT ENTIRELY FALSE. STEALING IS A BIG PROBLEM HERE....PEOPLE STEAL FOR 4 YEARS AND AFTER RUN TO DO 'MASTERS' IN THE UK OR US!

LIKE OUR SENATORS WHO ARE GOOD AT SHARING MONEY, ONLY TO REMEMBER TO HURRIEDLY MAKE 42 LAWS ON THEIR LAST DAY IN OFFICE...

.

But its possible.

Good observation.

He is still baffled that change could come so swiftly. And as a soldier he must know that you dont mess around with a senior!

True.

He should be dropped.
