Everyone has got the right to be critical of government even if they voted for them. It is also a huge step up to see even PMB supporters insist that everyone must be subjected to same rules whether they are close to the presidency or not, even when it concerns what should really be considered as an ethical issue, valued at N250m (about $500k).

This is progress.

Think back to when the president declared that goat must eat yam, when raw cash dollars was being withdrawn from CBN, cash dollars ferried in private jets, billions of dollars stolen from crude sales at source and president's wife was known to collect cash dollar bribes while chasing after every conceivable contract. Nothing happened.

Are there areas of improvement? Yes.. loads.

For instance I will still rate him low if Goodluck, Patience, Dasuki, Dieziani and co do not go to jail.

factsandfigures:
I blame the president team for all the confusion about the President's state of health. The president is mortal and there is nothing wrong if he seeks medical check up or if he is ill.
The president media team should have come open to announce the real state of health of the president. Instead of hiding under the premise that the president is going on vacation, they should have announced that the president is going on a sick leave. The president should be allowed to take good care of his health.

The announcement of his 10-day leave also made it clear that he will attend to his health while away. So he took a rest and medical vacation.

How else should it be put to satisfy mischief makers? PMB walked into this plane but they still produced fake news of his death the next day.

No, the announcement is not the problem.

Very nice.

Thanks for the update.

FreeGlobe:

lies, the only news coming out of kaduna are shites killings and southern kaduna killings.. I understand el rufai paid some social media ediots last week for image laundering

Ok. Let me leave you to wallow in your ignorance.
Have a good day

FreeGlobe:

so the southern kaduna killings is false? what good has el rufai done in kaduna since he was elected.. Zombies are the problem with Nigeria. Zombies need to have their own country.. How can individuals be reasoning like animals.. smh

Quit being so bitter.
Kaduna can best be described as a huge construction site at the moment. You need to go out more, or listen to people other than Fayose, Suleiman and Omokri.

Deprofessional:


Guy, you are simply an IDIOT.

Dude you sound like a re'tard. A very bitter one at that

ademusiwa2r:
It is wrong procedure.


The division Goc are suppose to run their territory like you run a country security.

You are expected to have 3 deputy general officers commanding from the 3 arm of the branches of the military. One from the Navy, army and airforce

The GOC is suppose to have appointed a deputy general officers commanding in Lagos from the airforce and another from the Navy. Which they should have hand over the helicopter to.

All GOC are suppose to appoint deputy general officers commanding from the 3 arm or branches of the military..

Oga, you dey miss road?

Saw this on another thread so I thought to post here for posterity.

Please confirm status of the ones near you.

Nice for having so much... Jona did diddly squat for us in Enugu (AII airport aside).
Wow! if implemented.

I bet it was bought by the "stealing is not corruption" gang.
Now they can't claim ownership under the watchful eyes of Ali, Buhari and the EFCC.

So they did a runner.

Congrats for another platform NAF. Please weaponize and use for our benefit.

Wailers how far?

This is Buhari... the hated Buhari making every effort to unleash the power of Aba industry. Something Hero did not care about.
Are you people not ashamed?

This is what I voted for... ride on Baba. Well done Osinbajo.

You raised very valid points even if I disagree with a couple of your views.

Most people on this forum have no idea how the economy works. They also lack the presence of mind to see when the country is making progress. When they sense progress they often prefer to profess blatant hopelessness due to hatred. Hatred for Buhari.

They want jobs but, at the same time, they want to see lower exchange rates so that they can import more biscuits, cashew nuts, [insert any useless item e.g floor mops, etc] from China. How do you create employment in a non-productive environment with near zero infrastructure?

Most people have forgotten that when we were the largest consumers of champagne in the world under IB we also had only N18b budgeted for road construction in a whole year! We drank champagne with the money we could have used to develop infrastructure to drive development.

But it is Buhari's fault... so let's demonstrate

Tuface did not open a shoe manufacturing company back then. He opened a club and then another club! Today not much champagne is being drank in his club so he turns an economic revolutionary that will lead a mega demonstration against a president who has increased local rice production from the less than 500k tonnes to nearly 5m tonnes per annum.

There are loads of things that need fixing but creating greater nuisance platforms within the socio-political space no go epp.

Are you covering up for Buratai because you are a Muslim? YES

Now you get the idea.
Let them bring proof for all the allegations. Surely, that shouldn't b too hard, no?

You can sit in your crummy space and type all you want but it doesn't mean anything. The fact that he has gone to court means the COAS has has different view to yours.

It appears you are allergic to civil and democratic processes. Take it easy and watch how it is done.

Nigeria press should act with care... they owe that duty to the public.

They should be ready to defend their stories before the law.

Amen.

May God run your life the way your hero ran the Immigration recruitment exercise and treat your children the way the buffoon handled the kidnap of Chibok girls.
Now say amen.

times have changed


and i keep saying it that "no nonsense" mantra you guys hold buhari by when he leaves you'll cry



Nigerians really don't know what is going on


you really need have an insider to know the large scale corruption thats on going


take last year budget into consideration..


i really don't have time to explain to you

Bla Bla Bla.
You dolts just come here to spew trash. Bring your evidence or shut up.
We now have the whistle blowing act so put it to use; it is your civic duty (assuming you understand the concept, that is).

Your baseless claim that this "corruption" is know only to insiders is even a big step up from the looting cesspit that was Jonathan's government.

JaaizTech:
That we have import gas is shameful enough

NLNG in Bonny produces and exports LPG so we must not import.

We need the vessels to move gas from NLNG to receiving terminals in Lagos and Calabar though. That should reduce the price of gas locally.

coolscott:


What I am saying is that the suggestion that are grass and forages are not nutritious enough is so nonsensical that the only wonder is why this is not 1960, with some one-eyed educated politician fraudulent spilling gabbage to the largely blind populace.

Please, let me help you understand the grossness of the stupid idea and why it feels just too difficult for one too bear.

Firstly, the approximate nutrient content of every herb, grass or forage identified as being able to serve as food for farm animals is known and properly documented. The process for determining nutrient content is called PROXIMATE ANALYSIS.

Do you know the nutrient composition of our legumes and grasses as compared to those found elsewhere? Do you know what makes them high in nutrients and what may make then not so rich in nutrients?

If we assume some factors are affecting our grasses so they are not as nutritious as they should be, so the solution is to import the grass right?

Our rice production has not been up to par with that of many other countries worldwide and what did the fed govt do? It banned the importation of rice. It banned it because everybody knows that with improved cultural practices the rice (which we consume) will yield more.

Now our healthy grasses are doing very well and someone comes up with the lie that they are not doing well and because they are not doing well, we should allocate millions upon million to import...?

Now let me let you know that legumes are always rich in nutrients. It is in their nature to.

As for grasses, when they are young, they are very nutritious. When they grow older, they lose their nutritive value but the fiber content does increase and fiber is also good for the animals.

Grasses that grow among legumes can benefit from the legumes as the legumes provide a nice supply of nitrogen to the soil, which is good for other plants growing in the same soil.

Genetically modified plants are looked down upon in the developed world. In fact, just about all of Europe has banned THE IMPORTATION of all genetically modified agric produce, and for good reason too. Beef from cattle that got feed genetically modified plants will not be spared the contamination and categorisation as GM product because genetically modified material was involved in making it.

I know the govt and minister did not mention anything about GM grass and that is just your inclusion but it is good to make it clear that any kind of rigmarolling only brings us to the conclusion that the whole idea came from a profoundly stupid place that the rest of us still cannot identify or explain.

There are only 2 options here: Either stupidity or fraud.

You appear to have some idea about these matters but a few questions will reveal that you have set out to mislead people here on.

- Can you please mention one type of grass that we have in Nigeria that compares with alfafa (mind you alfafa is not the grass targeted) in terms of meat and dairy production?

- are you aware that non of the grass grown traditional produces seeds?

- Are u aware that because they don't have seeds only vegetative propagation is possible with local grass and that that makes growing them very problematic?

- Are you aware that only grass seeds will be imported for growing in Nigeria based on FG's proposal not actual grass?

- Are you also aware that the biggest cattle farm in the world in Saudi Arabia feeds the animals with imported grass?

- Are you aware that Cassava and Palm oil producing countries imported seeds from Nigeria and have gone ahead to overtake us in production of these crops?

If properly done we will witness reduced friction between herdsmen and local communities, experience higher yield in meat and milk as well as have export potentials that will grow GDP and foreign reserves.

Stop all the sensationalism.

Useless Senate.

Please show us details of your budget before warning anybody. While at it let us have a breakdown of your salary and allowances. The president and his vice took a pay cut voluntarily, what have you done, Dino, except create discontentment and show your stolen wealth? Clown.

The Senate is the biggest factor against our development currently.

This plank expects the poorest/most vulnerable Nigerians to be on Nairaland.

When will Govt declare an emergency on illiteracy? That should help people like the OP.

Good idea... leveraging on technology and mobile penetration to keep the citizens informed

Welldone Lai

Meanwhile...

#AskVillaNg What is stopping FG from prosecuting Goodluck after all the revelations?

#AskVillaNg how has this government improved the export documentation process? Is it now at par with what obtains in western countries, China or Brazil?

Says an organisation that her leader was bootlegging stolen cash for Jonathan using a private aircraft donated by the same corrupt president.

How about you hypocrites start re-distributing the dubious tithes you force out of believers to the poorest of your congregation, in order to ease their economic burden?

Maybe then they will really see God's face amidst all the the hardship.

No more free money. Simples.

BekeeBuAgbara:
All these paid zombies above, the question is since May 2015 Buhari has been seeling crude oil daily, what has he done with all the money. Tell me one ministry that is working well under this man.
You shameless zombies should continue to blame Jonathan for Buhari's failures.

See question.
Clearly, cluelessness begets cluelessness.

KidsNEXTdoor:

May God save you

May He bless you.

His Lorship I will always remember how you stood behind the clueless one and his gang while they stole Nigeria blind.

As much as I am a Catholic till death it must be said that you were part of the people that wrecked this country.

You and your likes can say what you like but we are seeing the results with Boko Haram successes, rising foreign reserves, rice revolution, road and rail efforts etc.

If Buhari is not in Charge then God is in charge and he will not let us down.

baybeeboi:


What is this one saying?

I was addressing the mischievous OP, not Madam Oby Ezekwesili

Ichie Wailer, daalu kwa.

We thought Chibok girls was a scam. Why the sudden concern? Abeg leave them for God, the way your hero did.

Wailers and their mouthpieces!
Always looking to bend the laws of nature in order to sound ret'arded.

Anyone who has been to Singapore and asked questions will know that they have some of the most effective social security programs in the world, especially in the area of housing.

CCT is a laudable project which even the World Bank supports. They must know a thing or two about extreme poverty, no?

Oh, I forgot, it is a Buhari success story so let's chuck it under the molue bus.

idupaul:


Most of the anti malarials used in Nigeria are no longer any patent and are now available generics so dont need any licence to make them , the ish is most of the bases and active ingredients must be imported , This policy will only increase the prices of anti malarials and open a gate way for fakes to thrive like they did after Buharis first stint as president .. As we speak Evans who have made it a goal to manufacture most of their drugs in Nigeria have stopped since last year due to Buharis bad policies , are aware before he took over in 1984 many international pharmaceutical had factories here and his poor vision and policies chased all of them away, Do you know before he came in 1984 we mitchellin and dunlop had manufacturing plants here but his bad policies killed them all ..are you aware that Buhari is a killer of industrialization , please go and read your economic history

That is very dishonest.

Michellin and Dunlop were still producing in Nigeria as at year 2002. If they failed 20years after Buhari why do you ascribe their failure to his 1984 administration?

Strangely now he is looking to promote local manufacturing by keeping custom duty for industrial equipment at 5% you still attack him with such dubious vigor.

You need to manage your hatred for this man before you lose all credibility.

HtwoOw:
Unless of course if your grand parents, your parents, yourself and your siblings live in the same house




Which means you have to apply as one of the poorest instead of criticizing Buhari

Lol. The guy deserves pity.
10 very poor people (adults) under one roof in his family.

Buhari please increase their CCT quota. I take God beg you.

freeze001:


So in order not to import, u subject d people to inhumane conditions of queuing up for common food! Is that how to stop importation and diversify d economy? I rebuke zombie disease on ur behalf this Christmas day in Jesus Name!

Shows how local you are. Google Black Friday sales to see people in civilized countries who start queueing up from midnight to buy marked-down products.

Even if rice sells for 1k and you reduce the price to N500 you will see a rush.

I hope you heard that Boko Haram are defeated in Sambisa, where your ineffectual hero and bastard Okukpe told us they could not enter. That is how all the things considered impossible 2 years ago, like ordinary road maintenance, will be demystified by Buhari.

No more free money. We are on a progressive march. May you always wail. Amen

Finding that hard to believe.
Uncle hero stole waaaaayy more than that.

If there is any blight on Buhari so far it has to be his accommodating stance towards the Jonathans. Prosecute him already!
