What were you enjoting under Jona and OBJ and 16 years of PDP?


Wonderful roads?

Uninterrupted power?

Quality healthcare?

Wonderful bridges

Quality schools

Corruption and looting and stealing free Nigeria

Excellent security


Please, which one? Or you enjoyed all that in Nigeria situated on the Moon.


Is this dud pulling my legs?

Or you just think I'm not a Nigerian?

All of the above. Lagos to Ore road was smooth and under 6 hours. The first time I went to Lagos from Warri in Abacha's time was almost 10 hours.

Power supply in our area was at leat 18 hours a day (now it is less than 12 hours)

Men my nephews and nieces were born without a dime.

They constructed bridges in my state.

I did not have to do home lesson till 6 to write common entrance (my teachers where that good and my school fees was less than #5000 then)

Corruption and stealing is still going on (Gaduje is an example and APC offered us #5000 for our voters card in my area last week)

Security is the worst now. They kidnapped a full bus load of people two days back. Did you not see it on nairaland?

Now let me tell you more I enjoyed. Ability of my sisters to train themselves through universities by selling recharge cards and not their bodies to men. Ability to pay for the first skill I learnt with that same recharge card sales. A business started with less than #10,000 then.

What about honor, then being a yahoo boy was a thing of shame, now boys wear the name with pride.

What about youwin, yagep and surep my friends won to start their business they thrived in. Not this #30,000 nonsense that is not responsible for building the economy.

Do you want to talk about the low cost university school fees for federal and state schools. Now their school fees is exorbitant.

Or the low cost of food stuffs, where one could survive on #5,000 a month. Now #15,000 for feeding is management.

When my mom was not afraid feeding my brother's friends repeatedly for free. Now in this Buhari regime, my mom once shouted on me like I stole for drinking garri without permission.

You insinuated that the current government is yet to add anything to power generation and they are not giving out microloans and I lectured and corrected you, but coming back with your own opinion that they are not working is irrelevant, it's just your own biased and irrelevant opinion.


First, you said there's no such thing, but according to you, you applied for the loan you first asserted that it doesn't exist or that the government didn't put in place? So, how did you manage to apply for a loan from what doesn't exist?


Again, I don't debate opinion, I debate facts and I've given you facts

I said I have been applying for funding for businesses since 2015, not government loans or loans from this specific organizations. I made that comment so as to let you know I am conversant with all forms and source of funding in Nigeria yet I have never heard of these ones you mentioned or seen proof of their impact and existence both offline and online.

And except you are daft 1+1=2. Now you are telling me you added one to one in electricity generation when there is no record of 2 as result anywhere in the country. You have not given me a single fact just unverified nonsense.

deomelo:







You could be enjoying even more than now if the same crooks you are defending and supporting are not looters. The person you quoted named FFK and Fayose, you know what they have in common?

They are beneficiaries of the $2.7 billion Jona and okonjo stole and gave to DASUKI/ATM to share with their PDP looting and stealing cronies like Fayose, FFK and Metuh.

That $2.7 billion is enough to construct Lagos Ibadan railway times 2, I mean 2.

Ben Bruce, another member of the looting and stealing PDP gang stole your N11 billion that he still has refused to pay, enough money to create thousands of jobs.

The $40 million athiefKulooter shipped and laundered through US banks nko? How many jobs, bread and butter that took away from your table?




We know the reason why you people love crooks, corrupt and incompetent people like athiefKulooter and his looting gang, it's not because you love Nigeria, it's because you hate Nigeria

I don't need to enjoy more, I just need to enjoy as much as I was enjoying when OBJ and Jonathan were in power. When my sister could train herself through school selling recharge card and making phone calls. When I had too much work making and exporting Ankara bags in hundreds. When my business was not dependent on me taking a #10,000 loan from the government and my friends not having to do #30,000 work because they lost their jobs due to recession caused by the stupidity and inability of your government to handle the economy.

You say they stole without concrete evidence or court judgement. What about your member that was on video collecting bribe. Brother, what they are rumored stealing is not my business if I have the opportunity to grow a successful business.

Now fraud that was dying in Jonathan's time came back with a vengeance. How are they cashing the money sent to them? Is it not through banks? But more importantly, why and how did they come back? Is it supposed to be possible for a country fighting corruption to have an increase in fraud?

deomelo:




Another ignorant rant and comparison.

Oil-related resources are not state-owned in the countries you are talking about. And where they are, the government is in control from Saudi Arabia and beyond

Good thing you said they are not state owned. That is the whole idea of selling NNPC, so that it is not state owned.
Our government model is democracy, not aristocracy. So we cannot use Saudi Arabia as reference. They have never voted on something. Or are you telling me you want us to be run on aristocracy?
Every sensible Democratic government knows that to avoid corruption you have to remove all means of corruption. Please when last did you hear of corruption in the telecommunications industry?

deomelo:




Very ignorant question.

You questions mean you don't know anything and you do not follow current affairs.

They've commissioned power plants with at least 1000MW added with many more under construction including the 3050MW Mambilla left on the drawing board which is about to get off the ground.

Through Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council, Government Empowerment & Enterprise Programme (GEEP). PEBEC and MSME clinics all over the country, they gave out over N15 billion worth of loans to Nigerians.

And say whatever you desire about tradermoni, it's still a business loan scheme hundreds of thousands of Nigerians are benefiting from.

Hmm. GEEP is not working and can you show any proof of PEBEC and MSME clinic funding anyone outside the north? Because I have been applying for funding for businesses in the south since 2015 and I have not seen any application call from those organizations once. So where are they posting their application notice. I have also never seen pictures or news of their beneficiaries

Secondly, they don't go through microfinance banks, they go through commercial banks that ends up returning more than half of the funds to CBN after using it to do business for over a year.

Then you mentioned tradermoni, an unimpactful scheme given to traders that do not need it. I don't know the market your people went to but in Delta market, 8,000 naira (because they would take #2000 processing fee) would not make a single impact in the lives of market women that has good worth over #500,000 in their shops. No person in our market that owns a shop has goods worth less than that. So who are you giving it to and what impact would it make?

On the power, how come they have commissioned all that but power generation is not reflecting it. Or na space them day use all those power them day generate for?

fredoooooo:


Bro ... I would love to see one of these young guys to be our president, but with the reality on ground me and you know that's not going to be possible in this coming election . For now no better candidate except Buhari . Atiku is a NO NO , except if we want to kuku sell the country .

So because he wants to sell nnpc he wants to sell the country. I believe you have people in US, UK or Canada. Can you call them to ask if they have any government body controlling the oil industry in those countries?

KingOfThisnDat:
Nigerians love to suffer. Look at them ready to put Atiku, FFK, RENO, Fayose, Saraki, and co back in power. You people are a lost cause.

So are we enjoying at the moment? Or you call an increase in yahoo enjoyment, or paying graduates #30,000 enjoyment, or massive close down of small scale businesses enjoyment. Please let me have your definition of enjoyment.

Yusman316:
Truth be told, Atiku/Obi candidacy have nothing concrete to improve Nigeria. Obi is asked how their govt. will improve lives of the poor and he is talking about micro finance bank giving credit, as if that is not going on already under this current govt. He was asked about electricity, and he is saying APC didn't add a kobo to the power project. Someone should pls tell me what they say are their plans on improving infrastructures. At a point Kadaria was telling them APC was already doing most of what they are proposing

Please name one micro finance giving concrete credit for businesses. I am waiting. And how much has APC added to power? If they have added much would Fashola have come out to state that power was not in their hands?

Friend01:


Buhari is not an orator that can mesmerize you with words; that is clearly Osinbajo's forte.
So stop making a mountain out of this mole hill when there is no point.

Who needs an orator?

Prophet Moses(peace be upon him) was not an orator, but his brother Aaron was .And we know prophet Moses(peace be upon him) was known for his sincerity and heart that brought the Israelites to the promise land.

According to my brother that was why he led for forty years a 40 days journey. Since you are not a Christian you might not know it. But there is a reason Paul was more popular than Peter. Even though Peter was head of the Church, Paul sold the message of Christ more because he was more learned and Articulate. Bro, Solomon's love was stemmed from his wise speaking. So do not deceive yourself with this Moses line you guys keep quoting

Oshigun:


Inconsequential? Brother go and study INEC rule. You need education about how a winner emerges as President in Nigeria.Even SE vote is important but it is worthless in isolation as per the Nigerian formula.

No single zone can make a contestant President but State wins, 25% rule and total votes matter. Buhari will win more States , with the SW playing their part, and gain more votes . As simple as that.

Make I hear say buhari win more states. You must be a dreamer.

mumin170:
Saraki I don't blame u after u robbed and kill your people. You are still telling them to vote u and ur armed robber brother ateifku again. Well sha they are still your slave they can vote u.

Make I hear said Buhari win more states

Neoteny:


It didn't specifically say he can cause a shutdown. He's just withholding his powers to assent to bills.

But you do know Congress can veto him, right?

Besides, you said "exploit". He's not exploiting anything in the constitution

By exploitation I mean using the law in a way that is not popular yet legal. The fact that he could hold it this long without the Congress vetoing it means he was on the right side of the law. If he was not believe me Congress would not have made it last 3 days. It wasn't popular, but it was legal. That is my definition of exploiting the law

saintaustine:
I will rather cast my vote for Buhari, than to cast my precious vote for Atiku.
A standard thief (Atiku) in all ramifications.

God bless Buhari,
long live Nigeria.

Please what is the ramifications of being a standard thief that is not also exhibited in this government? Can you help me state them?

TMKsouth:


Take it from a South African - this is a very ignorant statement you have made here.

Apartheid ended bcoz the regime had been squeezed tight and the state had been bankrupt due to international sanctions and boycotts. This was due to diplomatic efforts by black South Africans and civil disobedience that rendered the country ungovernable.

So your white gods were forced to surrender.

Hello, the sanctions could not have been approved due to the efforts of only black south Africans.
And the boycotts, was it done by black countries but by white countries. How many African countries were part of it? I repeat, if not for the white men willing to end the apartheid all efforts of the blacks would have been in vain. They decided

desiredhome:


The point here is instead of complaining of no job and running after politician's for crumbs, a lot of this youth have skills and ideas wasting. When you start first, you begin to get ideas/research on the value chain.

Before now Nigeria was importing almost everything, but I think it's reduced now because a lot people are into several areas of agriculture

Brother, importation no reduce anything o. Make Nigeria no deceive you o. Just ask yourself one question. How can importation reduce yet custom's revenue increase?

ericsmith:



America is synonymous to the devil ,they give you chicken just to collect a human as payback ...
FIY , america do not wish nigeria development ,they like 3rd world countries depending on them ,that is how they penetrate & exploit countries

You must be mistaking America for Britain. America wants people to be independent of them as fast as they can. Hence you see them hosting enterprise programs and giving enterprise grants to Africa up and down. Name one grant program Britain has carried out for Africans.
Outside the oil industry, name any other sector Britain has companies on that is training staffs.
But you have Microsoft, IBM, Andela and others hosting Coding training programs for youths in a bid to make them independent.
Or name one time Britain has done visa lottery for Africans. Only USA did it. Name how many Britain universities give scholarship to Africans, but a lot of US universities do it.
Once again, America is not interested in having us depend on them. Only Britain is.

desiredhome:

Nigeria is too rich to be poor, its only a lazy man that will be crying of hunger, I know of two of my brothers who resigned their jobs and are going into fish farming because they saw benefit from their friend.
No more importation, when we have enough fish we dry and export. The people shouting hunger and spreading hate are those impatient lazy youths that want it now now now.
Go and think of what you can do to build this country not what you can get. End of discussion.

We must build our country by ourself.
No room for looters.

I first of all want to congratulate your brothers. But the truth remains that while this is good, the first thing needed to develop a nation is increase in mental intelligence.
Take for example the fish farming. From your conversation your highest target is to export them as semi raw materials. More intelligent nations would not think this as main priority but rather think or research the highest value chain they can add to it before export.
China is currently making medicine with our catfish, they thought of ways to increase the value beyond just exporting. When last did you see China export raw materials. Only Africa does that.
The 5 top highest producer of cocoa combined do not make up to the 1st highest producer of chocolate. Same with leather. The 5 highest producer of leather in Africa does not make up to the 1st highest producer of leather shoes.

babsfranks:
His words aren't even tantalizing at all. He said that 100 millions of Nigerians are hungry but I wonder what he did while he was the VP for 8years to make this hunger not occur, instead him and his boss OBJ squandered our money and now he is lamenting.
4+4=8
4*2=8
8+0=8

Please name one time people lost jobs when he was vice president, or one time the price of foodstuffs doubled. In his tenure as vice president, internet and telecommunications industry boomed creating jobs for a lot of people.
My sister used recharge card business in a small street to train herself to school. People used call making to train themselves to school.
Now the only method most girls use to further their education is prostitution and fraud.
How is that for his accomplishments.

You know nothing

Hmm, so you are the one that knows everything.

AllenSpencer:


Hear yourself!

"Giving Russia Respect"


It's like you don't know the military capabilities of Russia

Hmm, have you seen USA's tech. The battle might be intense and the loss of lives mighty on both sides but USA will defeat Russia and come out victorious if the yardstick is military capabilities

anonymous1759:


I get your point... America and Uk would have done such if not for Russia and China..that's one of the main reason America try to limit countries with Nuclear weapons not really safe guarding the world like they're saying.. But it's only a mad man that doesn't have a friend. America cannot come and invade us like that. Allies must arise that's for sure.... I'm telling you as a brother and lover of Nigeria if a war venture breaks out in Nigeria it'll be worse than Syria. Bokoharam, ISIS will end up fighting for Buhari and all Islamic set. Alies will fund them our Oil will be stolen by the US like they did in Iraq. The War will be long. The best is for the United States to mind her business. They cause more harm than good.

I agree with you except the part of USA minding their own business. You see the world understands a country at war, not a country that is opressed. Believe me they would prefer us in war fighting for justice than in peace under a dictator. Why is that? Because there is hope for a war of justice ending, but a dictator is unpredictable. He can maintain the peace or decide to wipe out a section of his country.
Above all finally, USA benefits either way, in our peace or war. But if they allow tyranny, it would be troublesome for them as other countries would use it as a yardstick to commit crimes. They would not want that. And they cannot mind their business while a Democratic leader disregards the rule of law.

ynotsadeek:
The way the US is going, this might just lead to WWW III because Russia and China won't just sit idle and allow the US destroy all their investments in Venezuela.

And those saying Russia can't stop US, they stopped the US from toppling Syrian President, so they can stop the US again.

Exclude China. They might throw tantrums but will never strike America. They have too much to lose.

AllenSpencer:



How can you say they will be released when America wants them? A country evicted American diplomats and finds one straying after, and you saying a if America can just instruct them to release him. Naxo America get power reach. No sovereign country can America try it with.


America violate what? They never did.

You said Russia shouts Blue Murder. Definitely not Russia. Russia never exclaim, they retaliate. So definitely not Russia.

Yes America is that powerful. If they touch them Venezuela will not see the light of day. And guy e be like say you na only nta you day watch. America violates Russia's warning all the time. The only reason they don't answer Russia is concerns for a world war. But in Allies, Russia has far less allies.
Should a world war erupt, all the countries around Russia would be against them. And the only strong ally they would have is North Korea.
Israel/India will bomb Iran and Pakistan to pieces. America will decimate Syria and Afghanistan, China will stick to USA for trade benefits but will also attack Taiwan and above all it would be a nuclear war.
It is the threat and devastation of nuclear war that is making USA stand down. But if all hell breaks loose and a world war comes, USA will win Russia

ollah2:



There's more to Iran that US isn't saying. Iran's problems are Saudi Arabia and Isreal and these two countires are strong allies of USA. These two countires are pulling the strings from behind the scenes. These two countires want to dominate Middle East. It's entirely different from Nigeria's matter. Do you think USA cares about Nigerians or Venezuelans ?


Pls you guys should read and learn

I don't know how much you read but I am a wide reader. USA cares about Nigeria because any thing that starts a war in Nigeria will trigger a lot of other wars in Africa and make Africa unstable.
No one wants that.

anonymous1759:


In your thick skull do you think the Western world would want to associate themselves with Africans if they stand to gain Nothing Don't be foolish. The wealth America and uk are enjoying today is a result of the Black Man go and read history... Our bad style of leadership make us look like baby in their sight... They call us all sort of names but still do business with us.
They Grant us loans and impose laws and make us open our boarders in return. A white man can come here and open company here without stress but you can't do the same there... The more you look the less you see Wisen Up.

You confuse benefit with importance. That you need meat from the cow in no way makes the cow the one with the advantage.
And please stop this nonsense talk of the whites being made rich by the blacks. It is false. The major thing the blacks provided was manpower not intelligence. And the white grew exponentially from an influx of intelligence which the blacks never provided.
Another lesson you should know from history is the whites have the capacity to take by force what they want from us but chose not to. Right now no black nation has the capacity to confront the white in a conflict. And brother, do not deceive yourself. Anyone that has the capacity to take by force what he wants from you without you retaliating does not need you.
It is only countries like China, Russia, Germany and others that can go logger heads with USA and UK that can say they don't need them.
Not Nigeria that cannot even do a thing if they chose to oppress us.

AllenSpencer:



That's Venezuela not Nigeria.

What sanction has US got to offer presently? Are they buying our oil presently? How many investment do we have in their country? We can kick all theirs outta Naija. Na Europe I pity...

China will even be happy if America places Sanction on us.

Am sure you know China has trade relationship with North Korea despite American sanction


Nigeria is a big market. America cannot bring us down knowing a China will dive at us at any slightest opportunity. Which they have even been doing.

First of all, don't compare a big population to a big market. But even at that, we are 200 million and USA is 350 million. Then their per income capital is much higher than ours, meaning that while only 50 million of our 200 million can afford China's goods, 250 million of USA's 350 million can afford China's goods.
All major US companies have factories in China, how many Nigerian company can boast of the same?
If USA wants China to back down from buying from us they will. Only the threat of removing Apple's factory from China made China jittery. Nigeria is not worth the stress of annoying USA. They will back down if US wants them to.

KingOvo:
I'm not being a heathen, but it was obvious that with the trend of things in this country, our democracy was under threat, you don't need a prophet to tell you that.

In other news, isn't this the man that predicted that woman would win the American election?

Hillary did win by simple majority. But trump worn by zonal majority.

AllenSpencer:


How can you say no country will buy Nigeria's oil. It's funny!


EU and USA can do nothing I repeat. They need us more than we need them.

Hmm, Iran's oil is purer than ours and USA boycotted it. Believe me when I say they will boycott our oil if they want to and we will starve. You think say na we get oil pass. We day learn. The only two countries that majorly buy oil from us is USA and China. And trust me when I tell you that USA has more than enough incentive to give to China if they want them to boycott our oil.

OpenYourEyes1:



Lol. You are too brainwashed my friend.

How am I brainwashed? Do you even read? Or do you just go around spewing all this black man liberated himself nonsense. It was not until the white man decided to free us did our struggle for freedom gained meaning.
Answer with facts.

Benzonlomo99:

But what buhari did was right because cjn is corrupt and must be suspended indefinitely

Check my signature to migrate to Canada

Maybe the CJN deserved to be removed, but it was not Buhari's place constitutionally and morally. The same Buhari that disregarded an ECOWAS court order to free Dasuki and halted investigation on Gaduje rushed to follow a court order barely 24hrs. Please name one time Buhari has followed a court order in 24hrs.
If it was not the constitution, many immigrants would have been repatriated from USA, and Trump and a lot of Americans would have felt right about it. If it was in Buhari's power to do it I won't be arguing this, but it is not.

bkool7:


We, Nigerians, will collectively determine what tyranny is. Not the US, PDP ,Ipob or Atiku

No we would not, the world already has a straight lined definition of tyranny. Because if they leave it to individual countries we would have different interpretations and that would not be good.

hushpapi:
So some people still believe in America this much. Smh the same America that ban atiku from getting visa into the united state and still allow him in while the other partner in crime is still serving 13yrs sentence.

Anything America is supporting, is always for the best interest of their country. No wonder they remain the country with so much enemy around the world.


Bleep America abeg, we don’t need them.

What document do you have to prove that he was a partner in crime. Did anyone bear his name.
You think America does media trial like you?
And we do need them. Their aids, their grants, their weapons. We need them all.
