Before you wailers ejaculate all over this repugnant press statement please see your lives below

Splashme:
DBN was conceived since 2013 by Okonjo Iweala and Jonathan and commenced operation since 2014. My elder brother joined the bank in 2014.

The Buhari govt came in 2015 to put their activities on hold only to allow them continue operation in June 2016.

Seriously, this fraudulent lying Buhari govt has a way of cornering past govt's achievements and presenting them in the media as theirs

Buhari and APC are such shameless liars

Abeg no vex o.

-Where is the head and branch offices o the bank
-Who is or was the chairman of the bank
-How much was provided for its operation and by who?

Thank you

Progress!

We look forward to when real sector entities are granted long term, low interest loans as well as when developmental projects are funded within hours of applying.

Then we will celebrate.

In the meantime congrats Buhari, Osinbajo, Adeosun and all the people that contributed to this achievement

doctokwus:
Since 1999,no Nigerian president has been so toyed and disgraced,like a mentally challenged child,like Buhari.
Even as clueless and useless as d fisherman was as president,he showed a bit of bite,even when done shambolically,when d NASS tried teleguiding him.
I dont understand this Buhari again.Like someone once said,the problem he has that's incapacitating and seemingly paralysing his thought processes maynot be ordinary.It maybe spiritual,because even a dull president knows when to say enough is enough of d ridiculing by any NASS.

It may seem that way but he has actually done a lot to strengthen our democratic experience by his light handed approach. Don't forget that some people had written their "Buhari is a tyrant" placards since 2015. They are waiting to spring.

Buhari is not a roforofo fighter: lost presidential election 3 times and went all the way to the supreme court in each case, rather than fight dirty. He has shown more faith in our weak institutions than any Nigerian alive. He understands the weakness and corruption of the current NASS and will still humour them, in his characteristic way.

Buhari is not a 'politician' in the way we have them in Nigeria: that's why Jona is still free. That's why Saraki is the senate president.

But Buhari has stamina to get his way in the end. That is why he has turned the economy northwards despite all the deadly distractions. Same reason he won the presidency on the 4th time of asking.

He will put this bunch of bandits where they belong in the sleekiest way legally allowed. You watch.

cktheluckyman:
How did they deal with it? By hiring 30 SANs and bribing a judge 500k instead of presenting the certificate? Buhari should be ashamed of himself. Talking of higher qualifications when he dosent have the pre- requisite.Shameless old and sick man.Better register for the forthcoming may/june before it becomes too late.Waiting for that hypocrite Falana to comment on this Dino issue

Bitter, bitter little man.
Now crawl into a little corner and sob quietly.

tinsel:
Buhari destroyed his presidency the day he allowed Saraki to emerge as senate president
.

You people ask for democracy and strengthening of democratic institutions when it is convenient but slate Buhari as a tyrant when it suits your narrow pursuits.

"Destroyed his presidency!", how lame.

Una go wail tire

I bet you don't remember this when you get salary alert. Payment far in excess of what you contribute to this country. Amounts that will pay hundreds of workers to make them happy

I bet you didn't know they'd be hungry when you and your fellow guy men were stealing us black and blue under hero IB and you were buying all those houses and land while building hotels and radio stations.

Abeg leave us alone and enjoy your money.

Under the leadership Buhari and management of Hammed Ali Nigeria Customs Service:

- recorded the highest revenue ever, despite very low import environment occasioned by recession and weak Naira

- discovered very large volume of illegal arms destined for unknown destinations within Nigeria. Weapons that would have been used to kill innocent citizens

- Sanitised operations and operators restoring Nigerian ports as serious players in international shipping activities; bringing order and discipline to a very compromised agency of previous years

Instead of asking for befitting recognition, if not reward, the clowns in the Senate are blowing empty words and chasing shadows.

Darkness cannot be measured. It is merely the absence of light. The shining lights of this administration cannot be smothered by the dark forces that have held us down. Amen

Please in your life, don't you ever and I mean ever quote me again.....since you don't have the slightest etiquette.

Exactly what's my business with PDP and APC....they are d same in my opinion and they are both failures.

Exactly what is your problem that you jump to my post and tell me I have got no sense, I shared my opinion, you are simply entitled to yours....what's the insult about?

I knew how I jumped about for 1 unit of the Lagos state housing but couldn't get any apart from the one in Epe, Ogba, Agege, ikorodu and the likes were impossible to reach, I have first hand information.

I shouldn't join words with you because of your intelligence level which is evident in your insults to drive home your point, but for the sake of education, saying PDP built no units states is an emphatic lie....Big one.

I know of the Federal housing estate in Kubwa (built 2002) because I lived around there, I know of another in Lafia nassarawa, because I served there. There's a small one by the Federal Mortgage bank in Oyo states and I am sure there are many more.....this is NO KUDOS to PDP even though it was all built during there tenor.

I am a big hater of the PDP govt because they failed, so am I of the APC government because they have disappointed.

If you wanna keep trading PDP/APC war because you have gotten some peanuts from one of them, goodluck to you, but as for me and myself.... A better Nigeria is my focus.

I will beg you to save your fights and insults for a PDP fighter like you who has been paid and please keep your mentions and insults off me.....

Thank you

You have a funny way of showing this your interest in national development... slating genuine attempt to make houses available even if there is still a lot to be done.

I posted that the FG (not FMB) did not build one unit OUTSIDE ABUJA in the last 20yrs and you have just confirmed it.

So how does your bitter rant contribute to real progress. Your initial post was not only pedantic but also retrogressive. Consider taking away the sour grapes from your posts or I will still put you in your place. My civic duty.

I apologise for the "no sense" comment though.

Thanks for the money you just sent to my account for this post.

The Senate is a major cog in the wheel of progress to this administration.

The first mistake was allowing so many PDP hustlers to ride the "change" wave into the NASS. The second was allowing Saraki become the Senate president.

But they will fail. The foundation being laid by Buhari will usher in a renewed country. It will outlive them all.

larion:
Hmmmn

With the housing needs of Nigerians, i expect an individual to be inspecting 76 housing unit, not the local government, not the state government.... Talkless of the Fedy government...

I expect to see a massive plan for a massive number of units at a low cost, that individual of Lekki gardens delivered 7,000 units in 6 years according to him, though unfortunately some were substandard, but this is a benchmark that goes to show a state government should be able to deliver 70,000 Units in its state, while she Federal government should be able to delivery (directly or indirectly) 700,000 across the country all in 4 years.

Until the government is ready to touch the lives of those guys they pay 18,500 minimum wage significantly, then they should stop showing us pictures, all these are cosmetic governance...... Perm secs and directors of government agencies will all buy these units before they roof, then let out to poorer ones at exorbitant rates.... The same fashola will pretend like he doesn't know what's up

Wake up Africa, wake up!!!!

For 16 years FG under PDP did not build 1 unit in the states. Buhari has started delivering his promise but you want to wail about it.

So until they are ready to build 700k units they must not start at all?

On one hand you complain about the insufficiency of the numbers, on the other hand you talk about permanent secretaries taking all without having clue how the units will be allocated or paid for. Which one is really your problem?

Some people head na just heavy weight for their neck, no sense.

CorGier:


Pray? mscheww dis na mumu.
Come oya commot for my face, I'm done with you.

Too early a day to waste time on a complete and utter idīot.

Tripe-spewing dolt.

Come back when you grow a functioning brain.
Ewu dom account.

CorGier:


isn't that the point Reno is trying make?


"...If...".

But nah, your sorts ain't amenable to reason.
Like really, when was last time you tried changing your hard earned naira to the green paper? or attempted making a transaction online involving FX? Do you even own/run a Dom acct you imbēcile? All you do is run your mouth, and kiss arse so why waste my time bickering with you?
Zombie (that's what they call your sorts, no?) you need to put food on the table so its fine, keep singing you piper.

For your information, I take no interest in politics - but where e bite me I go open up - so direct those silly labels to those keyboard warriors you jabber with.
I could wake up one morning and even blame PMB for pissing my pants. Deal with it.

You are a proper clown with your dumb dom account.
You can piss your pants all you want but it wont change the fact that you have no clue how the economy works.

So all you need to do now is pray that Buhari carries on with the structural reforms he is doing successfully so you can keep getting your online goodies while your mates are making dollars through production and export.

Otherwise I invite you to keep whinging, you deluded twàt.

Chinachriss:
As lopng as he is a citizen of this country, he is eligible. Kwusi this hate.

Meanwhile an Igbo man was a Commissioner (not yeye councilor) in Lagos.

It is even possible the man was born in Ebonyi so what's the problem. Does he drink different water from the rest of the community or breath northern air. Same mentality that leads to killing of our people in the north and in far away South Africa. We need to rise higher than these parochial views

Ndi Igbo si na obu nku di na mba n'eyere mba nri.

Ekene'm unu

CorGier:


you better shut your dirty mouth.
All the while he was on seat the rates kept on skyrocking.
His absence this past few weeks coinciding with the appreciation of the naira definitely couldn't have been a coincidence.

Correlation equates to causation in this case and that's thanks to the able and more energetic VP whateverinthehell he did.

It's "just the liquidity due to more dollars". . .You're a plank.

Bitter wailer.

By the same token now that he is back why is Naira not depreciating?

Has it occurred to you that the reserves were built up to $30billing before Naira started appreciating? Do twerps like you understand that the build up did not happen in the 35 days that Buhari was away (before the fx policy change)?

I blame the intellectual poverty in our public space these days for the carnage that is your brain.

As for the dolt called Omokri. Shameless impostor and heartless supporter of failure. May you cry forever... for the destruction your principals wrought on this country.

How about taking the card to NYSC office to get to the family. Why broadcast it in this manner?

Naija sha

Death wishers, how makaate?

Wailers can sha get a hard on over nothing. Was hero voted out because of YouWin?

Cars were driving on the road during Goodluck era, cars are still driving on the road under Buhari.
Let's cry over that too.

We don hear.

In the meantime PDP should get some free education on good governance.

The curriculum should include a course on the relationship between stealing and corruption as well as some classes on "how to choose a president with a functional brain" and "how to select a VP that is not a ghost worker".

Ndi ara.

The same Chidoka that collected millions for new drivers license and left FRSC without providing the cards, neither did he bequeath the agency with capacity to produce cards.

Same guy that did nothing in aviation ministry, which uncle hero, as usual, rewarded with for failing.

The dude is a fraud. Hope he fails, after wasting all his money in the process.

Way to go. Change!

Not hard to recognise a serious government.

Well done Kemi, Osinbajo and all associates of goodwill. Happy I voted for PMB

Wailers are rejoicing without reading. FYI the Economist believes that the way out of the economic situation is to devalue the Naira.

So please don't come back to wail if the dollar starts trading at N800 - N1,000 and inflation rises to 40%.

Yeye analysis, pathetic solution by the Economist.

We have seen how they turned the Egyptian economy from bad to worse with their delusional theories.

We don't need portfolio investors at this time. When we overcome real investors shall come. Ride on PMB/Osinbajo

matrixme:
Nice move. He's kuku an underperformer, so he should be moved from a juicy ministry to where he fits best.

You clearly have no idea.

Under Ogbe we have turned the corner in rice production whilst pushing forward at radical pace across the agricultural spectrum.

FG fertilizer will be out this month at N5,500/bag with serious controls to curb sharp practices.

Now he is tackling produce waste under the #ZeroRejectNg campaign.

Dude, you have no idea.

Nice appointment if true, as long as he is still in charge of Agric

Might this be a fallout of Osinbajo's visit to MMA?
The aviation sector is ripe for a right old shake up. Hope it yields results.

coputa:
You may be surprised that our president don't even go through the budget proposal,he takes whatever he was told by the hawks and sharks in government.It's time Nigerians should elect educated people into the number one office,we are tired of Agberos and street urchins.

Whether he reads every line in the budget or relies on others to do it is not the issue. The question is : are you aware that there is a zoo, which is a part of Aso Rock, for which a budget provision must be made?

Even if the animals are in a public zoo they must be fed otherwise they starve. So it is either the Senate tells Buhari to close the zoo (that is a national asset) or approve what they consider sufficient to run the zoo.

Mr Ben Bruce has failed to state what it costs to run a zoo the size of the one in Aso Rock for a year. We need to know that, in order to determine whether N40m is excessive or not. That is part of his job in the senate.

Not this unnecessary sensationalism!

NgeneUkwenu:
Picture 1: the so called EFCC agent is wearing the same cloth, he wore when they arrested Oliseh Metuh, does it mean, he has only one cloth?

Hahahaha.

Your Zenith building analysis got me rolling on the floor. Useless wailers.

Coming up...
- all this media trial. APC and propaganda
- all this so called money they are recovering yet Buhari wants to borrow. Buhari is too dull
- instead of doing their work they are taking selfie. EFCC is useless

Loving their pain right now.

Good one. Let's get his details here. One might reach out to him.

deandavid:

Would have loved to answer the questions you raised because these are analysis fro half education which is more dangerous than illiteracy. But no need, Even if i explain you wont accept. bros pack go Ghana go stay.

Exactly.

Even if foreign reserves increases to $100b I will support any policy that promotes increasing national output and productivity over one that favours mindless importation and fake luxurious lifestyles of a few.

Notice how it is mostly people in the SE/SS that are complaining. Their northern compatriots, who were never persuaded by the high-roller Wale Aluko and Igho Sanomi type of quick wealth, are smiling to the bank everyday because they have invested in agriculture.

We complain about Fulani people but we are still buying their cow! How many ranches have we built in the SE/SS since independence?

Our people are still looking for cheap dollars to carry on with the container-in-the-high sea mentality.

Let the rates keep rising in the short term so that people will think more about how to earn in dollars. I know it is biting now.. and may be hard for us to un-learn age old trading traditions But we are industrious! Very.

Long live Buhari for taking the sure way to development. Hard in the short term but fulfilling in the end

overall90:
I think they just want to find out where his political leanings are.
Once he is ready to join APC he is good to go.

Wow. You deserve an award for the most pathetic post of the day.

Please do well to rest your brain after such productive thinking.

AceRoyal:

*Is subsidy not been paid indirectly by these government?

Please provide evidence that importers are still receiving direct payments. Fuel price is being managed to reduce inflationary pressures if left completely to market forces. You will likely be the first to complain if fuel price goes to N500/ltr

AceRoyal:

* U call investing billions of naira looking for oil in the chad basin diversification? was the 2016 budget fully and well implemented?

Yes I call it diversification (please look up the word in the dictionary). Government will still need to raise dollar revenues in order to implement the budget and also improve foreign reserves for international settlement. One thing we can export readily is oil so every effort to improve that is not something you should protest against. The budget implementation report is out. I encourage you to read it. Some of the plans were not achieved mostly due to lower oil production. So getting oil from outside the volatile traditional centers (Niger Delta) is critical to implementing the budget

AceRoyal:


*Zero based budget with lots of padding and all?

Padding has been a feature of all previous administrations. Why didn't you protest despite numerous budget illegalities of Goodluck administration?
Most of us became aware of padding when Buhari refused to sign the illegal insertions by the NA, not because we were smarter now than before. He went further to punish the civil servants involved and the House did nothing. So you want to protest against him for standing up to the problem? We have also seen improvements in 2017 budget, so what's really the issue?

AceRoyal:

* NNPC transparent? Joke!

You are entitled to your opinion. If you see quarterly reports as a step backwards and you prefer, instead, the type of oil sector management of Dieziani and co I can only feel sorry for you, pal.

AceRoyal:

* Social safety net with lots of holes as a result of massive corruption and scandals.

Please show us evidence of scandals if you have any because I cannot remember any for now. I also encourage you to use the whistle blowing facility to help improve the process. It is your civic duty to do so! As per the flaws, if any, proper criticism will help the managers of the process to improve and make it better for recipients. You may also study the UK benefit system to understand that it cannot be perfect. But, really, is that why you want to protest?

AceRoyal:

*Allocation on capital projects with a heavily padded budget.

See the point above.
In any case I don't want to believe that you prefer more recurrent spending of GEJ administration that left us with near zero infrastructure. Yet you want more power and development.

AceRoyal:

*Cost cutting measures with frequent medical tourism,inflated budget to run the state house,illegal contacts(grass cutting scandal),etc.

Buhari has only travelled twice in two years for vacation cum medical attention... you call that frequent? Na wah.
Only yesterday a very young son of a former minister in Jonathan's government was reported to have spent over N1b in cash on choice properties. Where were you and your sanctimonious gang when his father "dashed" him that money? You want to talk about a N250m contract that was duly awarded but for which there is suspicion of un-ethical practice? As in.. are we looking at the same scale of corruption? is that why you want to demonstrate?

AceRoyal:

*Local product rate decrease due to poor and unstable economic policies and forex to import materials needed for production.

You are right in a way. But we also need to deepen local production. Uncontrolled importation will not enhance that... in fact it will only worsen the forex and employment situation. Besides where is them money to import all we want?
Look at all the oil producing countries; they are in a terrible shape. Venezuelan economy has crumbled. You need to appreciate the sh*t we are in.
The pains of manufacturers who need raw materials are being addressed from what I can see and should improve now that foreign reserves are improving. Most commentators just want money to travel or for selfish reasons, which shouldn't be encouraged in a low reserve environment.
That's proper economic management... not something to protest over.

AceRoyal:

I can go and on but let me leave you to your conscience!

I have no connection with this government or the one before it. I also understand the pains and frustrations because we are all facing the same challenges. Instead of whining I have devoted my energy on how to exploit the opportunities I see... trust me they are many.
Please do the same

Still waiting for the protesters and advocates to tell us what the government should do differently.

Buhari came in when oil price had dropped to the lowest level in years and has taken the following steps, which every well-meaning person should support:

- Removed subsidy to eradicate corruption and allow market forces to allocate resources in that sector in a controlled manner.

- Bailed out bankrupt states to pay salary backlog to alleviate harship and increase demand

- focus on diversification away from oil. This has yielded increased non-oil revenue and produced the larget budget (in naira terms) ever

- zero based budget introduced with continuous improvement in planning so we can see clearly , link between various decision across the economic spectrum beyond one year

- reduced corruption at the federal level through TSA etc to ensure structured funds management

- improved transparency in the oil sector: NNPC now produce reports of performance. First time in decades

- Cost cutting measures introduced: he took a pay cut with the VP, sustained eradication of ghost workers (people like Sambo) , rationalised the presidential air fleet to save money, has been putting the Nigeria House to good use (eg other presidents stay in 5-star hotels when they travel), has not bought additional cars for personal use, reduced number of ministers and aides etc

- investing in social safety nets for the poor and unemployed; eg home grown feeding program, conditional cash transfers, solar power for homes, youth empowerment programs (N-power) etc

- increased allocation to capital projects : more rail projects than any other time in our history with every region covered, new Niger bridge etc

- improved focus on agriculture; local rice production up by over 800% and program to improve other areas on course. We are now seeing improvements in foreign reserve in low oil environment!

- general improvement in local production base, which should enhance employment in the near term (people want government to employ them yet they ask him to improve exchange rate regime to N150/$ in order to continue mindless importation, how will that improve employment?)

I can go on and on... we need to give the federal govt a chance, criticise constructively and vote them out after four years if we so desire. People should also hold there state governors responsible for not doing enough.

Buhari can improve in a lot of areas. But he is making the right moves in the key areas.

One of the greatest Nigeria government puzzles today is this NJC methodology for appointing SC judges.

Since they have decided to always appoint the most senior person to be the CJ of the SC what the hell is really their job?

They can bloody well be disbanded so we can refer to the register of judges, and their ages on the bench, when the need arises to save time and money.

As far as I am concerned that body has contributed a big fat zero to our judicial processes. If anything they have conspired to entrench corruption in the system.

I trust Buhari will do what is best for the country. I hope, however, that he appoints someone from the south. Not because I care about ethnic vibes but just so that the mischief makers will not have additional hurt to moan about.
