She is both. and we love her still

Atlantian:
Both husband and wife flying Presidential jets at the expense of us all. Enjoying overfueled electricity generators at the rented Aso Rock suites while[b] the rest of us lament under the scourging heat of the unfriendly and unforgiving tropical sun[/b].

Take your grievances to the Sun.

fctguy:
And PMB expects the talks he had with the person inviting him to join forces against terrorism which he tactically rejected, will yield fruits?

SMH, international politics is about give and take, Saudi has nothing to lose cuz they have judiciously put their oil money into use so oil price falling is not a problem but their main problem is terrorism and the guy asked PMB to join him to fight against terrorism and he refused?

And we expect him to help boost oil prices? we must be high on something
Then our sufferings kwantinu

the fall of Oil price is greatly affecting their economy badly . Stop telling lies just to paint PMB bad.
How many terrorist attack have you heard happened inside Saudi Arabia

Aww, the Wailers at it again. So PMB is responsible for Cultism in Rivers State??

jcross19:
he has no reason sir. Since he has being travelling what's the result? Any new foreign investor? Nooooooooo soon we will know what we have voted for.

Dunce!! so the only reason he travels is to bring bring foreign investment...

nnachukz:
He should keep visiting any country that crosses his mind. A sachet of water for my area is now N15 as against the normal N5. It is even scarce and hard to get. I don't blame him for mismanaging our economy, I only blame and curse the zombies that put him there to live large on our money while others are suffering.

Poor man! it seems you're laborer... Labourers love sachet water so much

Nigeria has for long been seen a dumping ground for all kinds of goods, from toothpicks, to all kinds of rice and fish and tomato paste. The foreign shiping companies were the unintended beneficiaries of that. They brought in MEGA vessels full of all sorts and sailed back EMPTY because Nigeria did not have any exports to offer the world, apart from oil.

Shanghai to Apapa for a 20' container cost USD2800 at one time. At that same time Shanghai to Hamburg cost only about USD150. Because of petro dollars we went on buying just everything and paying huge freght rates. All of the shipping companies wanted to be here to partake of the windfall.

Now the tonnage deployed has far exceeded the demand and naturally the freight rates will fall. This is why the fringe players are packing their loads.

Low freight rates are good for our economy, because it means landed cost of raw materials will be lower, duties will be lower, and NIgeria can produce at lower costs.

We have an opportunity to turn around the economy like India and China did many years ago, by targeting low cost production that will enable Nigeria to export manufactured goods at scale to other countries.

Nigeria must trade and must seek good trade balances. It is senseless to make your economy a dumping ground that we have been in the last 2 decades.

Today, freight rates from major Asian ports to Nigeria is still about USD1500/20' and it is still significantly higher that Asia to Europe which would not noramlly exceed USD700. The information can be googled. It is available to everyone to see. If a shipping company will check out of Nigeria at the current rates, then it did not really have any reason to be here in the first place.

CBN is rght on one thng. Nigeria cannot be treated as a dumping ground anymore. Low freight rates are good for the economy. At the current rate, any sincere shipping company will still be making a fortune. The main cost of shipping is bunker (oil) which are selling very low right now, meaning that the cost of sailing ships to Nigeria has dropped significantly.

And some Nigerians are crying wolf! I dont understand that.

trust me, A wailer won't read this, Its too long for them.

Would i ever i this forum, anyday encounter, be enlightened and learn something useful from a Wailer? or is it just foolishness that reigns supreme in their fold? Is it plain ignorance or deliberate stupidity?

VIC-O has been SCAMMED! they told him the date was 21st Feb.

I expected a hyper inflation with the fall in value of the Naira aganst the US dollar, but this seem not to be the case. The Price of Garri is stiill what it was in 2013. it seems only ostentatious and imported goods are bearing the brunt.. its time to look inwards and face our own products

ehie:
How can we produce when we dont even have electricity?

We have Electricity...it may not be stable though, we could do more with a cheaper and more staple source of electricity.
lets not use that as an excuse not to do anything. there are industries working, Innoson, dangote et al millions of others.
Only a lazy man would fold his arms looking looking for an excuse to do nothing..
You say there's no electricity..Have you been sleeping in darkness all these while or charging your phones or powering you PC with candles?

Where is Femi Fani kayode? He totally condemned Ali Sheriff and used that as one of his reasons for leaving APC.
I need to see how he spins this.

Awww! PDP. What a choice to revive the party's fortunes

How about the $2 trillion that emperor buhari says he has recovered ?

stop being silly

Sant1m:
The price of the dollar now, has always been the real value of the dollar for more than 3yrs now, the price before now was sustained by corruption. what had sustained the price at close to 200 before now was our leaking CBN vault under PDP. The leakage under a corrupt PDP ensured that there was enough supply of dollars in the(parallel) or black market, the corrupt dollars flowing in then from NNPC, CBN, NIMASSA etc ooh $2.1b armsgate dollars all found their way to the hands of mallams , with these type of corruption, dollar was sustained around 200 in the black market because of illicit supply from those who opened our vaults and shared our money out to friend and relations. The difference now under PMB, is that by blocking leakages the supply to mallams have drastically reduced yet demand remains static, hence the pressure is pushing up the price towards equilibrium. The baned items by CBN is just to ease the pressure as we pursue diversification in the long and shout run. Under the PDP model of corruption supplying to the parallel market instead of incomes from production, we were only postponing the evil day, but under this deliberate and sustained effort, expect a genuine rebound in the near future, it will not go back easily to 200 in the parallel market. Investment and diversification is the only true way to go. The road to true nation building is deliberate, it takes a strong leader that will go against the status quo, it will not be perfect, as mistakes will be made but if PMB can help us sustain for 8yrs at least, people will start coming to Nigeria for school and medical tourism also. We shall get there

This make lot of Sense

sinistermind:
It is sad that some APC e-rat will come on this platform to praise this administration for doing virtually nothing. I will ask and i wll ask again, what steps have been taken to make the naira stronger against the dollar? the central bank governor is just engage in trial and erroe policies. A sensible government ought to have replaced dis man as well as the finance minister. Aside that, this administration during their campaign promised to repair the refineries. Some months after it came into power, it was circulated in the media that the Port Harcourt refinery will start production of 5million litres of PMS daily for local consumption, and about 2 or 3 months ago, the same thing was said about the Kaduna refinery. But till date, we are yet to see the effect of the "working" refineries. Unless, an APC e-rat can come on board this platform to list all what dis administration has been able to achieve since it cam into power apart from apportioning blames and it's one-sided fight against corruption, they shouldn't come here to make noise

DUMB!

We need Akpabio in APC, he's miles ahead of other PDP governors.

God will bless u ...i wanted post the same thing...10 billion inside 17 suitcases

sabatok:

$5million dollars can fit into 1 suitcase.
Do the maths you wailer

dearpreye:
JJ Omojuwa is enjoying his momentary show of fame but soon you will hear worse things about him. He's one vicious scum but he had lately beaten someone who's bigger than his ego....That scum revealed the phone numbers of some PDP folks on the Internet for the whole world to see......and he's gonna be sued very hard this time. Politics has limits and boundaries.

And for the records, be careful with groups and people whose loyalty and character you very much doubt. A lot of youths in those PDP groups are MOLES. These are dangerous times as the youths are becoming more desperate and despicable than the old fools in government.

Rubbish, Omojuwa can stand and defeat any force the PDP can muster.

byrron:
Why will a state governor recieve and host a visiting president for some days pending the arrival of GMB when he officially handed over presidential functions to his VP as the acting president in his absence?

Can someone explain this to me so I can be well informed!

Just found out he was to see PMB personally before proceeding to Lagos State to round up his 4 day visit. Now in the absence of PMB, the schedule was reversed. he leaves Nigeria this Evening

Now this is pure respect!!! To show how PMB is important to Germany, the President of Germany has been in Nigeria for 3 days Waiting to See PMB.

Things have changed, no doubt about it.

PMB all the Way!

GEJ shouldnt have been President in the first place

Ben bruce...... .. One more thing..
Start showing only NollyWood Movies too in Silverbird Cinemas

Parcks:
...and you that has read it, clap for urself....#fuckingzombie

Truth hurts..
looking for an opportunity to spill trash because you have access to the internet

Nawa4nl:
Sir,
GMB is only investing in the North, it's called Northocracy.

As you can see he is spending billions looking for oil in the north while ignoring the south.

Spending more on the Aso Rocks Clinic than the whole Nigeria put together.

Unless there is a way the Gold in the west can be dug up miraculously in the north, they will not be interested.

Its called Northocracy.
, Govt of the North, For the North By the North

Prior to the Elections, you were shouting at the top of you voice that PMB was a religious Bigot and tribalist. Now you've termed him a Northist

Mboi:
I don't believe that a right thinking sane person will say a word in favour of this fraud called budget. Since inception of democracy in Nigeria have we ever had this kind of national fraud called "Proposed Budget" that even neighbouring countries are making jest of the so called Giant of Africa called Nigeria. Our President said Nigerians are criminals, this budget saga just confirmed it that him and his associates are also criminals.

You have never read or studied the Nigerian Budget in your life.
Stop Wailing!

The is the Change We all Sought!!!

Nigerians Now hold their Goverment responsible for Every Penny made and to be Spent.
For Once the General Population will Scrutinize the Budget and Give their Concerns.
The APC would cry out on every frivolous Spending or Expense and ask for the right thing from the APC Executive.
Accountability reigns supreme
Sai PMB
Sai APC

Wailers Heaven!!!
i hope y'll will be alive to witness PMB sweep 2019 polls, if Heart attack no kill una b4 then

APC led government is a failure. We bought fuel for 6 months or more at above Govt pump price even during xmas. For over 6 years we never had fuel scarcity during xmas. It happened first under them. As we were battling that, they came up with N50 stamp buty deductin and Current account maintenance tax. VP Osibanjo even said more taxes are coming. As we were battling this, "I never sign cheque" Minister came with 45% increase in power tarriff. What a wicked govenment we will see in the next 3 years and some months!!!!

O God save your Children. Forgive us for this costly mistake we made. Amen

I am certain you dont have a Car to fuel, you also do not have a Current account and very sure you dont pay Taxes.
