BeLookingIDIOT: But at least if we make incorrect assumption about you, you have the chance to correct it if it makes front page news. Give us that same courtesy of correcting your incorrect assumptions when they make front page. Since you have been on Nairaland, have you ever gone to a post about Christianity that is not on front page. I can bet you have not. You cannot make an incorrect statement about Christians on a front page topic yet expect only Muslims to comment on it. If you want a topic only you guys can comment on, do not bring it to front page. Or are you guys that entitled? |
Religion / Posts That Require Responses From Only One Religion Should Not Be On Front Page. by dominusgai(m): 11:19am On Feb 08, 2019 |
I saw a post on front page and wanted to comment on an erroneous statement, only for me to be told that I have to declare I am a Muslim before I can comment on the post. Personally, I don't go into the Muslim forum to check them up. But the front page is for everyone and any post made on that page should allow comment from everybody seeing it irrespective of religion. You guys keep preaching our oneness and unity yet you set different standards for different people, segregating them yourself. I have never seen a Christian post on nairaland where a person has to swear he is a Christian before being allowed to comment. Once again, if the post is just for the Muslim part of the forum, it is not a problem for me. But if you are going to put it in the front page, stop being based and allow comment from everybody seeing it on the front page. If you can't do that then do not bring it to the front page. |

Babacele:Since they are your reference points, Here is link of Soludo confirming that buhari made the economy worse. https://punchng.com/buhari-inherited-a-bad-economy-made-it-worse-soludo/amp/ HOME JUST IN NEWS POLITICS METRO PLUS SPORTS BUSINESS ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST OPINION SEX & SEXUALITY EDITORIAL SPECIAL FEATURES ADVERTISE 7' BUSINESS & ECONOMY ICYMI: Buhari inherited a bad economy, made it worse – Soludo Published March 3, 2017 • ‘President working hard to fix economy’ Ihuoma Chiedozie and Olalekan Adetayo A former Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, on Thursday said President Muhammadu Buhari had worsened the “very bad” economic situation he inherited when he assumed power in 2015. Soludo spoke at the ‘Big Ideas Podium’, a public policy debate organised by the Afri Heritage Institution in Enugu, where he canvassed what he termed a “citizens united” campaign by Nigerians to demand change and accountability from government at all levels. READ ALSO: This budget may not revive economy Besides Soludo, other speakers at the inaugural edition of the Big Ideas Podium were a former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke; a former Chief Economic Adviser to the President, Prof. Osita Ogbu; and a member of the Presidential Economic Advisory Board, Prof. Akpan Ekpo. Speaking on the theme of the debate, ‘Prognosis of the Nigerian Economy 2017’, Soludo said Nigeria was fast approaching the status of a failed state. The former apex bank chief noted that it would take nothing short of a miracle for the Federal Government to return the naira to its exchange rate to the dollar as of the time Buhari took over on May 29, 2015. He said, “Buhari met a very bad situation when he assumed power, but he has made the situation worse. Nigeria today is a fragile state with a failing economy. Some say failing state; some say failed state. “The economy is not just in recession; we are suffering from massive economic compression. Saying it is recession trivialises the issue. “It will be a miracle if after eight years, by the time it leaves office in 2023, the current administration is able to return the economy in dollar terms to the exchange rate it met when it took over. READ ALSO: 2017 budget can’t make much impact on economy, says Osinbajo “The truth is this government inherited a very bad situation, but it has made it very much worse.” He criticised what he described as the “official policy of waiting for the oil price to rise.” According to the former CBN governor, the government cannot be relied upon to provide the change that Nigerians desire. The solution to the quest for change, according to him, is a citizens’ united campaign that will put government on its toes. He called on Nigerians to agitate for the implementation of campaign promises by government at all levels, noting that the country would make progress if political parties kept at least 25 per cent of the promises they made before coming to power. Soludo said, “Only citizens united can rescue Nigeria, not just the government alone. It is a big luxury for anybody to say I am minding my business, because what others do will come to mind your own business for you sooner than later. “We can’t get the leadership that we desire but we can get the leadership that we demand and work for. If only each party or government implements 25 per cent of their promises, Nigeria will be a great country.” He added, “If you see the governments run by APC, PDP and APGA, they are all the same, because Nigerians don’t hold them accountable. We must resolve as citizens not to let government off again; peaceful agitation must be encouraged and tolerated in this country. Everybody must be allowed to have a voice. “For example, the APC promised us that they were going to restructure Nigeria; before the elections, they said the current structure was not working, they said that Nigeria was becoming a failed state; but now, they are in power and they are not getting it done. “Unless we citizens rise up and tell the government ‘deliver on what you promised’, they will not get it done.” Soludo added that issues such as the continuing agitation for the Presidency along tribal and religious lines were distractions that arose from the fact that Nigeria was not working. He said, “Nigeria is not working in anybody’s interest except that of the privileged few and because of this, there is an obsession with unnecessary distractions, like which part of the country produces the President. You can have the President, the Vice President and all the ministers from one village and the life of the ordinary people from that village will not move from point A to point B. “The North has ruled the country for several years, but poverty, to a very large extent, is a northern problem. “In the last dispensation, we had Jonathan as President, the Finance ministry and almost all the financial institutions of government were headed by Igbos then, but we still don’t have any motorable federal road in Igboland.” Soludo noted that the government could not provide the type of change Nigerians desired. He added, “Change is a struggle; change is never given by a benevolent elite; no change is given by the government, the people always had to ask for change. Nigeria has been waiting for a benevolent leader since 1960 but he has not come. You will get the type of leader that the people demand. “The change we think we need will never be given to us; we have to demand it; we have to agitate for it, and it is the sustained agitation that will bring about the change. Citizens should get involved and stop complaining.” While reacting to Soludo’s assertions, the Presidency said Buhari was working diligently to fix the bad economy he inherited from the last administration with positive results now emerging. The Senior Special Assistant to the Acting President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Laolu Akande, said while Soludo was entitled to his own opinion, Nigerians were entitled to the facts. According to him, while the opinion expressed by Soludo is understandable in a democratic system, the facts are that the challenges of today are direct results of wrong decisions of the past and mind-boggling actions of those who were entrusted with leadership. Akande stated, “Nigerians have demonstrated that they know that the Buhari administration inherited a sorry state of the economy but is working diligently to fix it with positive results now emerging. “What even the former CBN Governor, Soludo, cannot deny is the fact that the Buhari administration has ended the bleeding of the nation and is implementing reforms. YOU MAY ALSO LIKE: How wrong policies threw economy into recession “The Buhari administration is spending more on infrastructure at a time when resources are lean. When we had abundant revenues, what happened was profligate and plunder. “What no one can deny is that the Buhari administration is now implementing on behalf of ordinary Nigerians a Social Investment Programme that is unprecedented in Nigeria’s history; paying poorest Nigerians N5,000 monthly; feeding school children and engaging hundreds of thousands of unemployed graduates. And there is more to come. “The Buhari administration is plugging loopholes in several ways, including through the Treasury Single Account, raking in resources that otherwise were hidden and misappropriated, and the proper auditing of the federal payroll discovering about 30,000 ghost workers and saving billions per month.” He added, “Another step in the right direction is the fact that Nigeria no longer has to shell out billions of dollars for the JVC cash call, bringing relief from a burden that has slowed down investment in the oil industry. “It is certainly quite curious that very few among us will choose to ignore the new direction but make story of the burdens of the past without proper attributions. This appears to me to be selective amnesia to which they are certainly entitled. “What would have been more patriotic is that people of goodwill will join several others working with us in this administration and offer progressive ideas and join hands with a government and administration that everyone knows is led by a President and Vice President who are trustworthy and are people of unabashed honesty and integrity.” Copyright PUNCH.

It was not under Jonathan that the module of rice went to #2000, it was under Buhari. Under Jonathan my family members and friends started successful businesses, but it was by the grace of God they did not close down under Buhari. And it was not under Jonathan my friends lost their jobs, it was under Buhari. Way before Jonathan, my mum was OK feeding over 10 friends of the family that were not related to us. But under Buhari she shouted at you sometimes before your friend if you bring one home to eat with you. On the dollar matter, it rose to over #500 to one dollar, before coming back down to #360. Fuel scarcity that turned fuel to #145 per liter nko, abi is it herdsmen killing. So how on earth can I understand and appreciate Buhari when the country suffered all you listed above. |

Babacele:APC, APC. I repeat, we were put into recession because of the unintelligent policies made by Buhari. He did not clean any mess, he created it. He adruptly banned the importation of needed raw materials that led to company distress that led to job loss. He froze all forex transaction, forgetting that most importers had foreign investors that invested foreign currency in them. While dollars was not going out, it was also not coming in. Have you asked yourself why we where the only country having dollar shortage when all the countries around us had surplus supply of that same dollars? Ask any banker you know. Dollars was very available, it was only not being released due to his unintelligent policies. He failed, the first time, and failed again. It was nobody's fault but his. |

MrSix:They did not run away from any question, the interviewer was just being unprofessional. How come when they are giving a detailed answer to a question asked she cuts them off? And come on, if they have the ability to wow an intelligent man with their answers they are capable of navigating conflicting issues without causing havoc like your clueless president did. Hmmm, that Obasanjo made the accusation meant a detailed investigation was done on Atiku by all the anti corruption agency available in Nigeria. That they could not see a single evidence to cause them to charge him to court meant there was none. That is the whole idea of evidence, to make sure people are not condemned based on feelings. More innocent people have been condemned without evidence but feelings that guilty people freed without evidence but feelings. That is why the court is not run on feelings but on evidence. If the evidence cannot be found despite heavy investigation both by Obasanjo and Buhari, then you are telling me he is either smarter than both of them or not guilty. I wasn't religious, you were the one that brought God in the mix. Then just one question on Gaduje, if it was a PDP governor that was court on camera receiving bribe, not once but over 4 times would they not have been charged to court? Back to what I said before, they probed atiku and could not find a shred of evidence on him to charge him to court, yet you claim he is guilty. But the ones that they have evidence against, they are claiming they are innocent and refusing to charge them to court. What does that tell you of the government? 1 Like |

Babacele:Sir, at no time in 2014 did PDP tell people to prepare for mass sack, please can you reference any link to that claim? You guys should have a little fear and reduce your lies. It was in Buhari's time that companies had to mass sack. It is his cluelessness that led to it not pdps. Besides, which regime do you blame more, the one that warned of mass sacking or the one that actually led to the mass sacking. Or you want to tell me companies didn't mass sack when Buhari came in due to inability to assess raw materials needed for operation? I repeat, the recession was brought about by Buharis cluelessness not PDPs fault. You just came, and you freezes forex, stopped importation of required raw materials needed for manufacturing, made unstable policies. TSA and BVN that was introduced by Jonathan has been destroyed by your clueless PMB. The agencies no longer put money in the TSA, and the obvious increase in fraud means they are not using the bvn to track criminals. Then let us talk about the need to borrow. You started taking #50 for every business transaction as nipost fee, you claim Jamb, customs and every agency revenue increased 2 fold, yet we are not seeing the reflection and you want to borrow over 30% of our 2019 budget. It is only in APC that 1 + 1 will never reflect 2. Hello, did they find out who has the money in the toilet? For all I know it was all an EFCC stunt to make believe they are working. Hello, you just asked a question, are the investors from the moon? I can easily find out the name of investors that invested in the mining sector of Ghana, yet I cannot find out a single name of one foreign investor that brought about this 300% increase in investment in the mining sector. Maybe you think everyone are dunces like you guys that do not do a detailed inquiry on information they get and just take every info at face value. |

MrSix:Comparing God to Atiku's innocence is one of the most abysmal things I have ever seen. First of all, believe in God is not dependent on any thing real. But condemnation of guilt is. In the court of Law, you are innocent until proven guilty. You seem to forget that Buhari still claims Avach did not steal despite Abacha's own family returning money. In court, you do not condemn a person based on perception but based on evidence. Yet Buhari seeing the video of Gaduje and the returned loot of Abacha still insists they are innocent but is determined to call Atiku a thief without even a piece of paper showing his name as a beneficiary of illicit funds. So by your logic, we should find Atiku guilty because we don't have to see his evidence before hand but we should find Gaduje, Abacha and that grass cutter guy innocent despite all evidence seen against them. What a logic, what a logic 1 Like |

MrSix:I beg to differ sir, it is APC guys that have badluck in thinking logic. Apparently Gaduje that was caught on camera receiving bribe is not guilty but Atiku that has never been condemned by any court known to man or has any document of any illicit transfer in his name is a criminal. How is that a good thinking pattern. |

Babacele: Stock did not fluctuate, investors pulled out their money. There is a difference. Buhari did not loan from the oil money but from returned Abacha loot. Bro, they would not have done mass sacking. How could Buhari sack on top the job loss his unintelligent policies caused? Please investors are not invincible, they are tangible. List these investors that are investing in Nigeria every day. USA borrows to fund infrastructure but your president borrows to fund expenditure. They left a lot of infrastructure and money. The CBN search disproved your lies that nothing was left in the treasury. And PDP started all infrastructural work your president is continuing. Or you want to tell me it was APC that bought the trains they commissioned? But still on infrastructure, what part of the 2019 project was budgeted for infrastructural development again? Buhari is not a manager, he is just a man doing nothing because he doesn't know what to do. |
