You this boy, look for a better job to do.

These politicians won't hire you or give you any protection money.

The crumps won't even get to you. It's in your star that you are
always on the losing side.

Check yourself properly, i'm not joking. whosoever you support
end up losing.

You are a badluck to yourself and anyone you cling onto because of
bread and butter.

Better go do Mai-guard!

majority of people now do that.

infact, i had 30 ATM cards on me when i was leaving Lagos.

no biggy, so i think. i had no evil in mind and afterall, there's
no law that says you can't carry more ATM cards

raayah:
But the news article described them as canadians.

There is no mention of nigeria in that article.
Its the title of the nairaland article that states them as Nigerians.

Wrong.

When they cast the news on CP24 in Toronto, Canada yesterday, the were
described as Nigerian-Canadian.

It was pathetic. The news caster tried to link the guys as only Nigerians.

Those guys are very lousy and boastful, if you've seen them personally.

Note how much was spent to achieving all those things listed above.

The state governors in Nigeria, especially Lagos, would have reported

Buhary's administration now in reverse gear. - SMH

Describing the use of mercenaries to fight militants as “shameful” during the March 2015 election campaign, [size=13pt]Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the practice. Buhari, a retired general, said the practice represented the depth of weakness of the Nigerian army.

[/size]

Asked why the Buhari administration is again deploying mercenaries, the defense HQ source said it appeared to be the most practical option if headway was to be made against militants whose guerilla tactics are new to the Nigerian military.

Even a bit sensible wailer like yourself don't seems to read to comprehend

What's the current operation called?

Go back to read the information. Besides, it was all assumption. Ask any top

Hello All,

Sadly Rafiu Ajakaye needs to generate a story but this one is devoid of all truth.
And then they have the gall to call us ‘mercenaries’.
STTEP has NOT been asked to return to Nigeria and we very much doubt we will be asked to return. We did what we could in our 3 months there and that is long over.

I am amazed at how so-called journalists are able to generate utter rubbish and get paid.
Best wishes to you all and especially the men of 72 Mobile Strike Force, 7 Infantry Division.
Rgds,

# StopSpeadingRumours

Almost the same amount Fashola used in constructing a less than 3Km
road from Ayobo to Abesan estate gate oooo.

And it was like 5 years to complete with 3/4 different contractors
awarded the same road over and over, again.

ZeezaRapture:
There is a HUGE difference between Fashola and Ambode. Fash is smart while Amb is a sluggish fellow(you can tell from his size). Ever since he emerged the flag-bearer of the APC in Lagos State, i have never for once have faith in him.

I dont see him performing as the Governor..

He doesnt look smart at all. He is over-weight. Tinubu can easily get him because of his unsmartness, unlike Fashola.

Once again, I dont see Ambode performing

You don't even know what you are writing about.

You are casting aspersion on someone you have a arsenic opinion of.

The man is smart; quite smart to put 10's of your likes together and
traverse your deluded, lazy, fable mind.

Cleanse yourself of ignorance!

Mo gbe'e kee! What blatant lie is this.

She did not introduced the PIB

She was in support of removing subsidy

She did not set the policy on the unbundling of The Refineries ( infact, OBJ sold them)

She is what she is: OLE

Her oga, GEJ, said so self. they are not corrupt, but them be OLE

Bunch of unemployed, broke kids here are defending someone that ruin your oppurtunity
simply because she's from your party or tribe. Idiots everywhere

Lucasbalo:
Funny enough you mentioned Canada. I don't have an answer to that but I think it's the way the cookie crumbles. Most of the Hurricane that hit US and the Caribbean form from the warm water of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa.

You know, God's way is not man's way.

From the coast of West Africa, down to the Atlantic warm water
and activated on Americas.

Well, my prayer is may we never be caught in it's web; especially
our people back home in Nija

Lucasbalo:
It was the rain that came because of the Hurricane Qajkim that went through South Carolina. It was true that the Hurricane didn't land but you will be surprised with the effect even passing through your area. I witnessed Hurricane Andree about 20 years ago in Miami and I never pray for such again. It has a very destructive effects on anything on it path. Imagine something like that in our Nigeria . That's what I'm getting at.

Yes, you are very right about the effects; terrible!

One of the reason i prefer to reside in Canada ever since.
I wonder why it happens so often in USA and not Canada despite the
proximity.

May God never allow such happen in Nigeria with all those haphazardly built
houses. God, please, don't allow such in Nigeria.

Dhugal:
Stop being smart by half,don't compare apples and oranges.
South Carolina had the largest amount of water,in a thousand years,dumped on it in three days,brought on by Hurricane Joaquine.
That caused the Ashley n Cooper rivers to overflow their banks too.
Tell me what river or stream in Ikeja n other areas,far from the shores of the Atlantic,that overflowed its banks?.
And rains we've had so far had not been record rains.

Dude, the hurricane did not made a land fall.

Though, is partly responsible for the unusual rain fall.
Whether the river over flow it's banks is not the koko here.

There are times when heavy rainfall causes lots of flood in respective of
river or hurricane in USA and many other western world.

Nature can't be tamed.

A river close by, would have caused more damage, just as it often
occurs in Lekki.

Lucasbalo:
What happened in South Carolina is completely different. It's a case of Hurricane Joackim and God forbid something like that in Nigeria because the whole oceanic side of Nigeria will be wiped out.

That was not Hurricane.

It was heavy rainfall. The hurricane did not hit ground as at that time
It was not as if the hurricane made any land fall.

stephenduru:
See how residents of Awolowo road, Ikeja, Lagos struggled to get to their destinations following a heavy downpour which rained across most parts of Lagos state yesterday.

Both those on foot and cars were affected by the downpour.Is Ambode really working?

What has this down pour got to do with Ambode

This occurs virtually everywhere in in the world now.
You should google on South Carolina, USA. See what happened there.

francizy:
Shattap there Mr man! Where were you when your gods in APC politicized everything and told us that if they get elected, Nigeria will become an eldorado? Hypocrites!

Diezani In London By Michael Egbejumi-David

I have met the former Minister of Petroleum, Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke before. It was about three years ago in an Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston. Unfortunately for me, former US president, George W Bush Jnr was also at the event. Everyone – including my woman! - rushed off to have their picture taken with Bush. Not me. I kept my eyes on Diezani. In the end she gave me her card and asked me to call on her whenever I was in Nigeria. Diezani Alison-Madueke

In Nigeria, I ferried myself to her imposing office after a few unreturned phone calls. It was, ‘come today; come tomorrow’ until I ran out of steam and returned to the UK. That was the last time I collected a card from any visiting Nigerian person. But even at that, I’ve always had a soft spot for Mrs Alison-Madueke.

However, I knew there would be trouble ahead when shortly thereafter I saw on Saharareporters pictures of some fine kids living it up, popping champagne and crystal as the flew in the plush interior of a private jet. Those fine young kids were Alison-Madueke’s. It requires no genius to put two and two together when a few short years later, the National Assembly accused the ex-minister of squandering about $10 million on private jet rentals and summoned her to come and defend herself. Instead of doing just that, Diezani went to court and found a Judge willing enough to issue an injunction that prevented the Legislators from looking any closer at her apparently oily hands.

It has happened before: In December 2009, one Justice Marcelleus Awokulehin of a Federal High Court in Asaba looked into a total of 170 charges of theft and corruption preferred against James Ibori, former governor of Delta State and dismissed them all! In his ruling, Marcelleus fell just short of declaring the Ogidigbodigbo an Urhobo saint.

Nevertheless, the British got their hands on Ibori and the brother is currently doing a 13 year stint in one of her Majesty’s padlocked guest houses. Since that episode, Nigerian officials have learnt to stay well clear of the UK at the expiration of their tenure. For instance, have you heard of Emmanuel Uduaghan visiting London recently? No, you haven’t; but what compelled Alison-Madueke to go anywhere near the UK?

Well, the story is that Alison-Madueke has at least one property in the UK she purchased through a Yoruba lawyer circa 2012 for around £4 million. Somehow, the British authorities felt there was something fishy about that purchase and have been all up in Diezani’s business ever since. And just last Friday, the ex-minister was collared in London along with four other people. They were all charged with bribery, corruption and money laundering. Already, money is being taken off her.

It would appear Alison-Madueke is no student of history. If she is, she would have known about one DSP Alamieyeseigha and the capabilities of the British authorities. Alamieyeseigha barely escaped that island with his frock and mascara intact. Similarly, a short phone call and Ibori would have explained to her all the energy his is expending not dropping the soap at shower times.

In conversation with some politicians and past government officials from the South-south, I find that they often advance this argument that folks from other parts of Nigeria have stolen a lot from the country, and so it is their turn. Some of them actually passionately justify this and see it as some kind of sacred duty. But is stealing and corruption the best way to redress power and wealth imbalance in Nigeria?

There is no running away from the fact that in our country, southern government officials and leaders try to outdo each other when it comes to corruption. They certainly out perform their northern counterparts when it comes to stealing. It could even be reasonably argued that the brazen and large scale theft that took place under Babangida and Abacha were intellectually aided by southern collaborators. What we seem to possess in the south is a completely warped sense of duty and a pile of university degrees that does nothing to improve our humanity. Our people (the big men and the not so big) steal without a care in the world.

I know for a fact that as a fresh governor of Imo State, Ikedi Ohakim was waylaid and got 419ed by some Igbo boys posing as London Metropolitan police officers. Ohakim was relieved of a briefcase containing more than £1 million in his hotel room. The very next morning, the man ran out of the UK in absolute panic. The imposters were later intercepted by the real police and the money was taken off them. That money eventually found its way into the British treasury.

As was the case with Alamieyeseigha, the British government took over a lot of Ibori’s UK assets which were quite considerable. They are getting ready to do it again to Alison-Madueke. As we speak, the UK government has filed a separate application against Mrs. Agama, Diezani’s mother, for the seizure of an undisclosed amount of money. Foolishly, we continue to lose our meagre wealth to our erstwhile colonial master and other wealthy nations. What an irony!

Our wealth still flows outward with mainly southern ‘educated’ leaders piloting the out-going ships. It would be interesting to know how many private homes and businesses past and present British and American government officials have in Nigeria and in Africa. Again, education without humaneness; without sense.

So, you call all your wailers to come comment.

To you, it's all about politics. It's indeed a very terrible situation
that Nigeria is finding herself with people like you that think from
their anus.

PMB and all other governors are not going to feel this. It shouldn't be about politics

At this rate, you'll never see success when it comes. You condition your mind to
feel failures and be happy because you perceived that the government of the day
should fail, right.

Many kids on this forum ooooo

This man is seriously making no sense at all by building
airport at this point in time.

Akure airport is just so close by. What the hell is he going to achieve.
I guess it's an avenue for him to chop, no be so.

A passionate, subtle way to say: Nay; i'm not happy with this PMB

When a encumbrance spy is planted, the appeal goes to the least
informed by this type of adulterated signal.

The government should be vigilant!

These his thesis is not an advise, it a signal to reject the current institution.

LadyFiona:
This is political bokoharam. When a major scandal broke out there will always be bomb blast in Abuja but this time it is twin abi quadruple blasts to deflect it.

Make sure you are very good at running.

Also keep piling up your rhetoric because you have a long journey
to take

baralatie:
that is why boyo's article was misleading
what you are raising about economic performance is away beyond what Boyo is stating!





let us go by your line of thought of economic performance and its relationship to the Nigeria factor.
1,Nigeria's earnings is basically oil and it is 90% of the Fg,state and local govt revenue before she came on board.
2,we now have to take a closer look at what exactly is HAPPENING TO YOUR FINANCIAL BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE
3,Now with the economy growing Nigeria HAS OIL TO BE 70% revenue for GOVT (whether you like it or not that 30% signifies that there is some form of GROWTH OF NIGERIA'S ECONOMY)
4,But there is still an issue NIgeria economy is dominated by 70% oil revenue with 25% of its earning spent on subsidy.it means Nigeria has just 45% of its earning left.I did not end there
4b do you Know the EFFECT OF WAGE INCREMENT on the available % of spendable revenue

and you had the highest number of INFASTRUCTURE GROWTH AND FACLITIES SPRINGING LEFT AND RIGHT across the nation!




Boyo was heavily and MONSTROUSLY MISTAKEN.







OKNOJO DID A SPECTACULAR JOB AS AN ECONOMIST AND FINANCIAL EXPERT

Honestly, your line of argument has a sentimental coloration to it.

Be as it may, the relationship between growth, performance and all other
economics indices is what Boyo is referring to. He was not measuring
NOI as an individual, but her performance and application of the economic
spheres.

I'll leave you to your opinion.

If by any grace we get a good economists to man the ministry of finance
and you and i remain alive to witness a different direction, then i'll
call you out on this your opinion.

Peace

baralatie:
let me break it down for you since you coukd not take time to read that Simple History of Nigeria Financial Outlook!
The issue WORKS LIKE YOUR REGULAR BANK LOAN

1,Nigeria goes to collect a certain amount of money(PRINCIPAL ) in DOLLARS CURRENCY
2,Nigeria is To be Charged INTEREST ON THE PRINCIPAL It borrowed and It is IN DOLLARS
3,Nigeria was not paying out its debt but was SERVICING THE DEBT BY PAYING THE INTEREST IN THAT DEBT.
4,Unfortunately ALONG THE LINE,Nigeria was not able to MEET UP ITS OBLIGATIIONS OF SERVICING THE DEBT ABD WAS PENAKISED WITH A FEE.
5.As Nigeria economy was growing so was its expenditure and ITS Revenue BASE(oIL) was not INCREASING
6.Nigeria Foreign Debt and Servicing Was NOW 150% of N IGERIAS OIL REVEN UE

it means for Nigeria to solve that debt Burden it will either
a,remain under an increasing debt of 200% and above
b,service the debt and have nothing to pat salaries,wages or even build infrastructure
c,pay part of the service charge and be further penalized.
d,go to your creditors and beg for forgiveness I.e to cancel your debt and pay small change.

Now you have taken path of 6d(fine)
the questions are what next for the NIGERIAN ECONOMY.

Nigeria was and STILL IS AN IMPORT BASED ECONOMY
1,it means your Balance of Payment(in dollars ) or Balance of Trade is not in FAVOR OF THE NAIRA.
Nigerian Govt Has to Pay For the Dollar to Do Business (IT LITERARIKY MEANS NAIJA MUST BIRROW)
2,Since that is the case.Nigeria had to PRIOTIZE HER FOREIGN DOLLAR IMPORTS and it was observed
2a,Oil Subsidy took 25% of your Foreign earnings
3,Now for Nigeria to borrow and not to enter problem with the DOLLAR.It decided to borrow in Local Currency(though it is presented as dollar)
3a,that is why you are not feeling the HEAT OF THE DOLLAR.

4,it was also clear that Nigeria need to ACCESS THAT DOLLAR THROUGH FDI(in order to promote growth)

I hope you now understand the SUCCESS THAT OKONJI IWEAKA ACHIEVED.IT IS IMMENSE!


Please read that I attached on this thread.and you will understand it more!

Thank you!

Economics history that you are yapping about shows the relativness of
parity indices compared to what happened under NOI. yet you failed to
understand the statements you listed up there.

The article is all about the performance of the economic indicators
under NOI. It was abysmally considering the effect of all the action she take
when she was there; the period of big earning from oil.

All economic data suggest she had not grown the economy.
Our economy has not proving any resistant to external shock.

Now, consider also the current GDP deflator index (real GDP), what were
the NOI economics threshold on the real growth factors.

Don't even try to throw the re-bassing nonsense into this equation!

baralatie:

So how does all this concerns Tinubu abeg? Mr Adebanjo you are a very fo0lish man, I can see that Tinubu has been giving u sleepless nite, you wil soon die of it, Has Tinubu complain to u that his worried?? Major appointment ain't made yet and you already crying.

I'm very dissapointed at this your comment

The context of the interview is not casting any hate on Tinubu. He only outlined his opinion about the failing structure we practice and backed by a constitution written by the military - who were from the North.

Now, fault any of his opinion to see where he's coming from.

Personally. I know how much it costs me to come cast my vote for PMB and was strongly against what this man and the Afenifere were doing at that time. Yet, this is a different thing entirely.

Ghandi12:
Bookmarked but I still do not believe this method will achieve any meaningful ends. You do not indict people on pages of newspapers. The change we crave for is the one that starts a course and succeeds.

Criminal investigation is a scientific process. It has to be done thoroughly and as discreetly as possible to achieve reasonable results. All these publicity are lazy attempts at winning public sentiments.

Public sentiments wont even put food on the public table but thorough investigation and loot recovery will do.

These are records of fact.
Not just any investigation or sentiments. Have you ever heard this case previously. You will make a personal lamentations on nigeria if you're intimated with 1% of the facts

For those who don't know the genesis of Dasuki, Fadile and the
rest of them, this is just the smallest of the fraud

The dossier on Dasuki alone, by FBI, will make fear grip you all

These people are terrible. Made worse by GEJ ineptitude.
