Rubbish.

If your night is not my business,then whether your morning is good or bad should also not bother me.Also how are you should also not be asked.

In fact nothing about you should be my business

aspirebig:
4m only

In 46 years?

4.6m in 46 yrs.

That's average of 100,000 per annum.

The earlier years would have very low numbers like 25000 or less.

The highest so far is 350000 in 2018.

Very possible statistics!

crackhouse:
I am telling. With the 5m jobs osibanjo provided alone I don't think anybody should be looking for job by now.

Are jobs meant for only graduates?

Mumu!

SOFTDRINK:
You're a product of quota system education,so I will not be too hard on you,rather I will cure your nauseating ignorance.



[b]No country is self sufficient,so banning of food importation is a stvpid idea. How can your daft president pretend to make Nigerian farmers productive and compete favourably with their counterparts abroad when same farmers and theirs farmers are being destroyed by killer herdsmen from his tribe?


I know you're a sycophant that needs to earn his paltry crumb to survive, but basic economics will tell you that importers will source their dollars from the black market,thereby making the basic food very expensive and creating inflation in your shithole


If your lifeless president goes ahead and ban the importation of food in the country,what will happen to workers who work in marts and food processing companies in your dead country?


I know by virtue of your dumb education,you lack critical thinking and subject analysis,but try to take your mind back to when your dog banned the importation of rice,did it increase local production which will be felt in the reduction of price of the staple food?



A little education on basic economics will save you from disgracing yourself in the public.[/b]

This your trash does not make sense.

Your narratives suggest a very shallow knowledge of economics and an attempt at ethnocentrism.

Dumbnesses is when you do not know that when a resource such forex is scarce,then you need to prioritise the utilisation.

This is elementary economics and finance.

The average Nigerian does not need imported food to live a healthy life.

Local Meat,Garri,fufu,plantain,beans,fish ,rice,vegetables,milk,amala,tuwo ,semovita,etc,are enough for healthy living.

We can still do without any of the above food items if not available, because there are other local alternatives.

E.g if local rice is not available in your area,you can still live a better life without eating rice !

SillyMods:
Disgraceful youths.

Buhari has proved to be wiser and smarter than our so-called economists who know nothing about practicals but theory.

Many times Buhari has floored them on economics matter:

1. During the debate to fully float the Naira against the president's position not to do so, Buhari was eventually proved correct by attaining exchange rate stability without floating the currency.

2. PMB, against noise and wailing banned access to 42 items including toothpicks to save dollars. Today, most of those items are locally produced thereby creating local jobs and increasing wealth for the entrepreneurs who took adantage.

This time, the best president in Nigeria's history says that in a bid to encourage local food producers and make them competitive, the CBN should not provide dollars to food importers. Wailers and wailing zombies are masturbating and bringing up voodoo economics to tell us why it is wrong for the president to say/do so. Please tell us how best to encourage local production if not by making them more competitive? How can people produce locally if the imported goods remain cheap or slightly dearer?

Una no get sense I swear. And this senseless thinking is being led by a wannabe presidential candidate who was a deputy governor of CBN when GEJ sacked Sanusi. The idiot stood by GEJ. He was also alive when Jona the fisherman was ordering Emefiele to release billions of dollars for looting (in the name of fighting insurgency) but kept quiet.

IPOBites and sense are words and their opposite.

You want Nigeria to be like China, Korea, Japan, etc, but you don't want to take the hard decisions! Hypocrites and unpatriotic souls.

kudos.

Anybody that insists on imported Garri,PalmOil,rice,beans,fufu,milk,plantain, meat,fish,semovita,beverage.

should have his or her brain examined .

All the required foods required for healthy living are available locally.

The average Nigerian does not need imported food to fight hunger.

wasi9ice:
Now local rice farmers will increase the prices

A worthwhile sacrifice towards eventual self sufficiency in local rice production.

Can you imagine a scenario where only local rice is available?

Yes ,when demand exceeds supply,price rises on the SHORT TERM.And some people would eat rice may be only on festive days like those good old days

But what happens on the LONG TERM?

Demand and supply equilibrium!

BTW what nutritional value does rice have that other cheaper foods cannot provide as a temporary sacrifice

wirinet:
No one is talking about denying citizens their right to religious obligations, what we are talking about is subsidising religious obligation. Pilgrimage is religious tourism, which is a personal obligation. The government have no business selling dollars at subsidised rate to people going on personal religious obligations.

I am not too sure govt is still subsidising forex for pilgrims.That would not be appropriate.

Whatever,two wrongs cannot make a right.

Let us applaud the food forex restriction and then critic other policies separately.

There will always be bad and good policies.

This food forex restriction is a good one.

Which imported food does not have local substitute?

I beg let someone tell me ooo....

Champneys:
If this country was left in charge of you, it will be with the dogs by now.

Una never ready!

We are discussing economics here,not sentiments. Provide economics sense.

The economic calamity of sudden and total removal of fuel subsidy of over 20yrs, can best be imagined.Let us pray for the likes of Dangote refinery to commence operations ,then fuel subsidy will die a natural death.

Champneys:
Be sensible. The CBN should be an independent or autonomous financial institution and the continued interference, ordering and brazen directives is defeating the purpose behind the creation of a central bank in the first place.

The reasons behind the order are also not well or clearly thought out.

It smacks of hypocrisy to continue to subsidise fuel and providing forex for pilgrimage which is of no benefit to the nation and then turn around to want to ban forex provision for food imports in a nation which is not reliant on its own produce or secured in terms of food production to meet the teeming population's needs!

Fu...cking think!

Pilgrimage is once in a year.I beg stop comparing apples and oranges.

No government should deny the citizens their right to religious obligations.

Fuel importation and subsidy is a product of the 16yrs of PDP misgovernance which cannot disappear so soon.

It is shear hypocrisy and mischief to agitate against fuel subsidy,but then support forex for food importation.

Both fuel subsidy and forex for food importation are bad!!

If I may ask,what food do most Nigerians require, that is not produced locally.

Use your sense!

wirinet:
No central bank in this world is absolutely independent, it is always under the control of the executive. In the US Trump is at loggerheads with the Federal Reserve chairman over interest rate cuts and the tarrif (trade) war with China.

I feel the order is on point and Buhari should go on further to give more support for local farmers to meet our local food needs.
Now, tell me, why should our food importers depends solely on the FG for dollars to import food into the country? Can they source their dollars elsewhere? Mallam's don finish for streets or bureau de change don't finish?
It's time for them to be creative. They can export Nigerians items abroad and use the dollars earned to import the food they like, after all importation of food was not banned.

The government is forced to subsidise fuel because it is essential to the economy and there are no substitutes. If fuel was not subsidised, and fuel rises to unbearable levels, it will lead to social unrests, which is capable of bringing down the government. The only thing that can unify Nigerians against any government is high petrol prices.

I agree that subsidising pilgrimages is unnecessary and unreasonable. It's just a waste of scarce resources, but then Nigeria is a very religious country and it scores some political points with sponsoring and subsidising pilgrimages.

Great.

How on earth can an agency of government be independent of the executive,when the later is solely responsible for failure or success of the economy?

The best CBN or any govt agency can have ,is financial autonomy or independence.

Occasional presidential intervention is very much in order.

nototribalist:
You have no constitutional rights to order CBN on what to do. This terrorist need to know his limit.

Will Rwanda, Ghana or South Africa allow such an illiterate to be their President? Only in Nigeria Aboki wey no go school go wan be president. Very shameful

The constitution and extant laws do not restrict the presidential power to direct an agent of government to effect a monetary or fiscal policy that is in tandem with
electoral promises

The best a government agency like NNPC or CBN can get is financial autonomy or independence,nothing absolute!

You may cite section of the constitution that is the source of your agitation.

What imported food does the average Nigerian require that is not produced locally?

Use your sense and don't be fooled by so called economic political analyst

Why is SW excluded

TheAutoReporter:
Madam, check your facts well, the terminal was called Ipakodo Ferry Terminal but was abandoned, the Ambode-led administration re-constructed it and did some minor works to make it decent and modern... The write-up said re-constructed.

You can read this post dated 19th March 2018...

https://www.autoreportng.com/2018/03/ikorodu-ferry-terminal-commences-pilot.html

This is not a sponsored post but get the facts right.

Mr man do not make a mockery of your blog by arguing with Ikorodu residents.

The ultra modern ferry terminal is the legacy of fashola.

And as confirmed, it was under lock and key,due to dispute.

It is more honourable to accept your error.

GoodGovernance:
It's Fashola's legacy. Fashola started, completed and commissioned it.

Became operational during early days of Ambode.

Correct.

yemight2776:
The demands are very good and straight forward, I think Federal Government should look into it.

Check my signature

So returning fuel price to 1999 era is straight forward?

I pray that you are not kidnapped before you know that removing death penalty is stupid.

Revolution is like a coup.

You succeed,you take over govt,you fail you face the consequences.

But serious revolution are spontaneous, not this Sowore type,dead on arrival

namio10:
The document is fake.

You can fill the pages to convince ignoramuses.



In any case, Buhari did not comply with Electoral Laws because he did not submit any O Level Certificate document to INEC before the election.

Which section of the electoral law is that,?Just asking.

Wallade:
You are a bloody liar. If you get mind:
Post your certificate that has that discrepancy on social media and indicate where you currently work and let us take it up.

You will not only loose the job, you will also go to jail.

There is a significant distinction between Mohamed and Muhammadu. Even if the discrepancy involves just a single alphabet, the name has changed.

Try to apply at an embassy with your passport bearing Mohamed and other documents indicated as Muhammadu. Let us have your account afterwards.

Everyone is not a fool!

This guy stop making fool of your self ,I beg ooo!

Mohammadu Buhari will go to jail because he is using a certificate bearing Mohamed Buhari,even when he has proven he is the same person?

It is true,you must be a clown

The nation is facing serious security challenges but Sowore and other opportunists want to compound them ,abi.

The greatest revolution in a democracy is through the ballot box.Any grievances against the ballot box,is through the courts .

Protests are normal in a democracy,but definitely not the one calling for change of government,other than through constitutional means.That is Treason!

You can protest against social welfare and other rights, not calling for change of a legitimate government,defacing the whole country with very inciting posters and inscriptions.

The only revolution that can happen in USA now,is through the ballot box,no matter how bad Trump is,I am sure sowore knows this.I hope fools following him,are also aware.

The Buhari government is definitely not the architect of our present predicament.

GlassDoc:
ARREST OF OMOYELE SOWORE: THE REVOLUTION SHALL NOT BE STOPPED!!!

Comrades of #RevolutionNow

The National Action Committee of #RevolutionNow August 05 "Days of Rage" protest has confirmed that Omoyele Sowore, AAC National Chairman, and member of the Coalition for Revolution (CORE), has been arrested and taken away by the Department of State Security (DSS) to an unknown destination.

We are working to get more information concerning this development and to organise legal intervention to secure his immediate release. We shall provide information on further developments as it becomes available.

Sowore's arrest attests to the validity of our struggle to liberate Nigeria from the shackles of a ruling class that aims to keep NIgeria's working people under perpetual oppression. For sixty years they have kept Nigerians enslaved under their incompetent, corrupt, and irresponsible rule. Now, we the people have had enough and are ready to take back our country, to take back the political power and national wealth that rightly belong to us.

The arrest of Sowore is definite and clear evidence that they are afraid of #RevolutionNow.

This is why we must intensify our preparation. Get the word out to as many people as you can. Mobilise on your street, your campus, workplace, marketplace, bus stop, everywhere. The battle has begun. Let the mighty people of Nigeria stand for liberty and justice in this country.

They have arrested Sowore, but they cannot break our will for freedom from their oppression.

We shall not be intimidated; neither shall we be moved. We shall go ahead with our protest on August 5. We shall come out in our droves!

In unity and with one mighty voice, we shall tell the oppressor class:
"This is our country!"
"This is our land!"
"We reject you and your policies!"
"Pack your load and go!"

Victory is certain, because a people united can never be defeated. So let us come out in our Days of Rage, starting August 5.

#RevolutionNow! #ThrowDemOut!!

You are talking trash,nonsensical nonsense!

Ihedioha's days are numbered.

Just holding forth for Nwosu or Uzodinma

The ways of politricians.

When they lose elections,they remember "restructuring" and "revolution".

Techsunny:
mumu don't u see hand writing on d wall, why apc trying to blackmail atiku, there's indication apc has loosed the case

Mr indication,what are your indicators



Clown

The case was dead on arrival.

Was Atiku able to prove that he won the election ,other than the server scam of a case?

Was he able to prove that Buhari was not qualified ,when WAEc has confirmed his certificate?

Was he able to prove substantial non compliance with the electoral act?

I beg,next level ....

Hmmm let's put it this way:

Kidnapped on Sunday whilst jogging and then rekidnapped on Wednesday via one chance.


Whatever sha,thank God for her life.

Opinedecandid:
Whether there is an inside or outside story, what Nigerians know is that Buhari was roundly defeated by Atiku.
I'm not saying Atiku is a better alternative.
All I'm saying is that though both men are almost equally inefficient, ineffective, old, deficient, incompetent and belong to the former generation in mentality and strength, Buhari, being older ought to have atleast, enthroned a precedent of free, fair and credible election no matter whose ox was gored.

If Buhari, though failing in all other parameters had bequeathed to the Nation a legacy of transparent electoral process, he would have been regarded as having achieved much.

Although many will continue to argue that Goodluck Jonathan had nothing to do but to conceed defeat in 2015, let's not forget that all the security chiefs were his hirelings and some of them even presurrised him not to accept the outcome of that election, but that little, inconsequential and effortless act of calling Buhari to congratulate will continue to peg Jonathan miles ahead of Buhari in morality and legacy.
Admit this or argue, it's the truth.

Very stupid commentary.

What Nigerians know is that Buhari defeated your Atiku by a margin of about 4million votes.

There is no other verified opposing fact .

That you and your people voted for Atiku ,does not translate to majority of Nigerians.Neither does a thief proclaiming a stolen mandate,translate to reality.

The facts emanating from the court proceedings show clearly that your likes have scammed Atiku or perhaps the latter is an accessory to the scam and deceit of a non existent stolen mandate.

Neither PDP nor APC can claim innocence of electoral fraud in favour of Atiku or Buhari.

Majority of Nigerians will spit on you.
