Connect The Dot..

Immediately PMB is putting plans to dump the Dollar for the Chinese currency, ICC came calling...

Ghadafi treatment comes to mind

That is for sure, international politics. Can Nigeria stand among the equal, Russian, China Iran & India dumping dollars.....

ICC should go after Bush on Iraq war crime.

I really respect you, but you Bleep-up madam.

maupe:
I don't think there is much of a disagreement. The NASS should just take a united front and go along with the Senate's decision. The Executive should pass the budget into effect, and should include in a supplementary budget, anything it feels is important to its developmental projects. What it should not do, is create confusion and chaos in the legislature. This would be totally unforgivable, and would in the future, come around to bite them.

Pass what? Why can they 're-visit.

enlightenedmind:
NASS NASS, I have said this so many times. Scrap NASS. We must get a vioce in this community. They cannot keep oppressing us like this. They are useless. Scrap NASS

Only d Senate, to cut costs oil boom is over. Rep can handle Senate job. Democracy is too expensive to run.

American force democracy on us, politicians don't learn.

SleekMallam:

Guy wake up, this was signed by GEJ.. In 2010..

Even if is true from 2010 to 2016, are you not ashamed. By now we will not be looking for forex to import petroleum.

What educated people cannot archive, illiterate want to archive.

We are to feed African with refine petroleum if our leaders use their brain.

ziccoit:
Stale news. That was in 2010 before Jonathan left. I wonder why the agreement didn't come through.

This is 2016, 6 years ago.

Happy birthday.

Drabeey:
I voted for Buhari a fulani man, I can't remember voting for an angel, saint or miracle worker. So I never expected a miracle, I voted for change not magic.16 years misrule can not be repaired in a year so Nigerians let's be patient.......




Anyways...



DrabeeyWasHere

Let see what APC will offer after PDP has failed us. No more Oil boom wasteful spending.

Realdeals:
The National assembly especially the Senate needs to be scrapped. They are evil

Thank you, it will save cost of running the house now that the Oil boom is over.

Stolen:
The first one happened and 500 murdered and mass buried, nothing happen, the world looked on in silence.


Today, it is 347 that is murdered.


Slowly, they are commiting genocide against the shite muslims in Nigeria.


Slowly, they are attempting to wipe out Shite muslims.


Is this change?

This is pure genocide Mr president.

francizy:
Illiterate = Buhari

Buhari = illiterate...

When d educated failed, then let try illiterate

An illiterate taking over power from educated people after 16 years of failing Nigeria, what a pity. Let see what an illiterate have for Nigeria in the next 4 or 8 years.

What the educated cannot do for yearssssssss, illiterate may do better.

cktheluckyman:
Common sense senator don't mind the useless APC and their propaganda.We know their ways

Do you see Ameachi defending d budget. Nigeria I doubt if God can please us.

asorocker:
Why yorubas are so hell bent on having this project included in the budget is really surprising why are they crying more than the South South and south east.

Even the South East and Niger delta who are supposed to benefit from the project are not batting an eyelid.

Could this project be the Savior of south west or east bikonu.

Just to prove that there politicians is after their pockets not there interest.

14:
Nigeria = $10m a day for FX trading
SA = between $2bn and $4bn a day for FX trading,

So who has got more money and who is the richest? paper economy will kill nigeria.

PDP rate our economy on importation of fuel as the largest economy.

Allwility:
The policies of the government in the last few weeks are nothing but knee- jerk reactions. Today we tighten our FX policy, tomorrow we relax it, next we ban sales of forex to BDCs then we remember an FEA Act of 2004 that if implemented will make banks become no different from BDCs. An Act that if implemented will just be stating the obvious- we are a step away from devaluing the naira. All these are reactive policies. If the government is serious, they need to come up with something more proactive- a sound economic plan.

First, we need to understand how we got here. Falling oil prices, corruption in high places, and an import based economy have contributed majorly to the depletion of our foreign reserve. Oversupply of oil (caused by the Saudis trying to kick out American producers and Iran coming into production) might just ensure oil prices never see the $100 dollar high in the coming years except maybe if there is a war which nobody prays for.

We need to tell ourselves the truth. Our economy is at the point of recession and may not be able to absorb further shocks. Devaluing the naira is a no-no and this FEA 2004 Act will only provide us with a false sense of relief in the short term. We need to come up with something more solid. We need a concrete plan that will guide us out of this seregenti we have found ourselves.

Here's what I believe might work for us:

1. We need the best minds to start with. The President should stop looking for FDIs but concentrate on bringing in technocrats to run key sectors of the economy. Let me give an example, if we bring in top Nigerian researchers and give them a mandate to produce say wheat within the country, Nigeria would become self reliant in wheat production saving us scarce forex. We might even export to some African countries. Now consider replicating this in areas such as pharmaceuticals, food, textiles, industrial machineries etc etc. we will be doing ourselves a lot of good.

2. We need to invest more on infrastructure. It is not a sin to have good road networks, stable electricity, security and so on. This will create an enabling environment for FDIs. I mean these are the things investors look out for before bringing in their investments to your country.

3. We need to develop our solid mineral industry. Tin and Columbite, Iron, Uranium etc can still fetch us some forex you know.

4. We also need to build more refineries and stop the importation of petroleum products. I mean if we have small but highly efficient refineries spread across the country, and break up the monopoly of NNPC, we will stop this madness called fuel importation. This will really save us a lot in forex.

5. Finally our imam and pastors need to pray more. They need to pray that the spirit of Chrometophobia (fear of money) and Kleptohobia (fear of stealing) come upon all those politicians that steal from our national wealth and hide it in all those bad bad places eg Panama. Just Negodu. Arrant Nonsense

Thank you, fuel importation killing our economy.

themosthigh:
[size=13pt] This is an example of missplaced priority...why build a lagos to calabar rail when even 20% of that money can be used to build a world class port in calabar and port harcourt..who want to travel from lag to calabar on a train....or of what do you hope to bring into calabar from lagos that cannot be brought in through the sea.
The yoruba oligarchy have decided to ensure that the south south never get a port so that people will not leave lagos and the innefectual buffon after 6yrs in power could not even build one port in his home region.
The only way for igbos to leave lagos is to build a port in the south south,complete the onitsha inland port and all industries in lagos will move with it and lagos shall cease to be no mans land and go back to the binis or yorubas and it will join the degeneracy of the rest of the waste..

Oga, for Passengers not only calabar to Eastern part of d country.

OKDnigeria:
APC supporters una see una life?

Will u guys now say dat Baraje is an IPOB tout?

PDP in APC color, no more impunity.

Fedayeen:
If only buhari will toe this path of honor also

Already, we vote him.

Charly68:
How much has Saraki paid this man for online warfare? If they are persecuting him politically,what about panama ? Do we call that family persecution or biological persecution ? Dele! Dele!! Dele !!! Be careful of what you say on this political thieves that are parading themselves as leaders.

The Dele we know is not this one.

rusher14:
What do you want me to do with this?

Does Tinubu feed me?

If he has committed a crime he should be arrested and prosecuted accordingly.

I must however note, presently Tinubu is a private citizen and he is free to hold operate an account anywhere in the world.

I do the same.

Is Tinubu number 3 man in the country, if you chop and keep low life the better or else all your secret will become open.

Tinubu and Akpabio who chop past, mind you without money you can do politics, follow American election is on going. Politicians are been sponsors every where.

wirinet:
I am highly disappointed at Dele Momodu. i used to have some respect for him but his view on this Saraki's case is not acceptable in any sane society.

So what exactly is Dele Momodu saying?
Is he saying that Saraki should not face trial even if there is overwhelming evidence he committed a crime because he worked for Buhari and APC's victory? In that case every person that worked for APC's victory should be allowed to get away with murder.

Is he saying that unless all governors that is suspected to have committed one crime or the other since 1999 should be prosecuted before Saraki can be put on trial. In that case all criminals in Nigeria prisons should be set free until every Nigeria that is suspected of any crime has been prosecuted.

The most despicable thing is that Dele Momodu Is not even pleading the innocence of Saraki, he is saying he should not even be put on trial because he suspects APC is witch hunting him. A so called journalist like him should used his medium to advocate that past governors he has evidence of corruption against should face trial instead of advocating for the release of the few that is being "witch hunted".
A criminal is a criminal and removing one from society is a great service to that society. Is Dele Momodu aware of the millions of families affected by the suspected crimes of Saraki and his likes?

Dele Momodu has secured himself and his family from the general insecurity in Nigeria. His base is in Ghana and the UK, so feels unconcerned about the common Nigeria who suffer the effects of the natural disasters called the Nigerian politician.

May God bless you.

Brother Dele politically motivated, what of Panama-Gate, is it political too.

Am not disappointed, but ask Saraki to go and apologized from kwara masses who find it difficult to feed there family because their course is more then 100 Tinubu and Buhari.

denko:
When will buhari stop propaganda, this story was pre plan hence he said he want to see details before signing the budget. may while people are enjoying change but still waiting for change dole.

Propaganda or not, Nigeria first before any party, If for 16 years PDP failed why not see if APC will archive it. I think one day Buhari will go, we will be left with ourselves.

francotunsco:
Akpabio was busy learning and playing legislative politriks; Ben Bruce was busy making 'common sense' and the rest, i dont even know them.

Ben Bruce is busy on Twitter.
