Alhamdulillah Allahu Akbar!

What has the IG been doing since all these revelations?

Now is the time to prove his worth.

Let it be reminded to you PDP sympathizers that Dokpesi has an ongoing case with EFCC for DasukiGate and he is only on bail presently. So, when EFCC resumes with his case later, let no one open their dirty mouth to shout witch hunting.

Ugandans and Israelites won't believe you. They're wired to be silly.

Uncle Esau, go and eat your porridge in peace and let's hear word abeg.

Go cry to those who stole your future. Abi na mi pauperize your life?

ephi123:
It's funny how all the PAID agents - aresa, dropshot, omenka and co, always always conveniently avoid threads like these. Well, Nigerians are wiser now, never again will they make this kind of double tragedy and mistake.

Wicked government - constantly putting the people into worse hardship every single day. mschew

Go get proper education before you start mentioning my moniker.

Anyone who doesn't understand that removal of subsidy will push prices of Petroleum products upward is not worth my time.

Finally, when you lay your hands on the evidence to prove I'm a paid agent, bring it here. Loser!

Are you guys saying APC that has no presence in Biafra has cleared all the three senetorial seats in Imo state?

I guess Imo is in NE or NW or even SW.

I am sure APC will win Edo and Ondo. And by 2019, PDP will will be confined to a handful of states in the SE and SS.

A party that destroyed and divided a nation as Nigeria doesn't deserve to live.

I ask Allah to make the sisters' situation easy for her and everyone else going through similar trials. I always feel that situations like this are tests and Allah never burdens a soul more than it can carry.

JazakaLlah Khayran for this beautiful reminder.

It's unfortunate that the world we live now encourages and promotes immorality while discouraging and even criminalizing decency in dressing and strict adherence to principles of Islam.

May Allah guide us, our parents and our children aright.

Desperation and frustration is killing this thug gradually.

Who takes this thing serious anyway?

If we should amputate him too, how then are we better than him?

As long as it's done through our justice system and not through jungle justice, it's fine.

more pix

Inspection photos you're showing. Not commissioning photos. If that project was commissioned, you won't have to try this hard for Nigerians to know.

From all available facts, GEJ left the project at about 70% and PMB completed it.

Also, if GEJ had completed it, he would have used it as a campaign point. PDP would have also made reference to it when VP Osinbajo challenged them to name a project they started and completed in their 16 years of rule. Unfortunately they couldn't name any one.

Well, judging by the fact that most economies that experienced recessions in the past later emerged stronger, I think there is correctness to what IMN is saying. E.g, Russis, Iran, USA, UK and some other African countries too.

We just need to look inward and find solutions to our challenges.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Smileprince:
Jeez if this man didn't rot in jail then our government is rubbish and total waste of time.

Such animals should be lock up from humanity

I disagree. He needs not only locked up in jail. He deserves exactly the same amputation first before being locked up.

This man is deranged.

I disgree. He needs not only locked up in jail. He deserves exactly the same amputation first before being locked up.

Horror movie!

10years ago I was gisting with my cousin in UK and he asked me whether i have registered on the new raving forum in Nigeria, Nairaland. I told him I do not even have any idea that the new Forum exists. I quickly logged on and found one elementary website bearing Nairaland. Not deterred by the perceived elementary outlook of the forum, I registered and was happy to belong to a platform where i can air my view ona ny issue about my country to the world.

I only restricted myself to Sport section, most especially Manchester United thread. I do peep into Politics, culture and tribal sections once in a while, but there was really nothing unusual apart from the usual news we all have access to in the regular media. Culture section was more informative with some NL encyclopedia lecturing on us who we are as Africans and other cultural stuffs. Due respect to AndreUwe and Fulamania.

Fast forward to mid-2008, Politics section started getting hot with waves upon waves of attacks on Yorubas from Igbos who were spewing their remixed version and make-me-happy tales by moonlight of their Fathers and Uncles false heroics. Major cuplrits were Deridegull, Chino, Oneast or Chinology. Most guys ignored them except Dayokanu that made it a point of duty to decimate all their claims, with Katsumoto delivering irrefutable facts to nullify all animosities against the Yorubas. The hours upon hours of lectures and counter ectures from Katsumoto and Deridegull or Duru1 were very informative. By early 2010, subtle warnings were being sent to Seun to curb tribalism in Politics section, he did not see it as anything serious. By mid-2010, other yorubas felt enough is enough of these shenanigans coming from igbos. The likes of OPCNairaland, MayorofLagos, jakumo, IlekeHD, Gbawe, Aareonakakanfo, Shymexx,led the full scale attack, with Desola being the only female, always hitting the mark in a very subtle but effective way.

This culminated in the myth bursting season, monicker expose season, the season of truce with rendezvous at Beerhugz Ikeja. Ngozievergreen will never forget NL. Those were very brutal days in Politics section of NL. 2015 election brought out the good, the bad and the ugly of NL. It was a propaganda and campaign ground for the major political parties. That was the season of PPP -Pay Per Post. Post election ushered in the cry for bia.fra season. Seun responded to this cry in a manner that has never been seen before on NL. I am not sure DSS did not threaten him on that particular issue.

Due to the clamp down on secession cries, some threatened to migrate out of NL and never to come back. They left, they were not missed and voila, they are back. Some even created parallel fora that never had the pull effect of NL and such fora died a natural death.

We are presently in the season of indiscriminate bans. Just came back from a lengthy ban and i cannot even guarantee not being banned before end of today. . We have seen it all on NL.

The diversity of opinion and the scintillating presentations of some are what make NL thick and addictive. It will be the highest hypocrisy if I fail to mention that tribalism and ethic jabs are also part of the fun of NL, that you might not really get elsewhere, except on Vanguard online and probably Facebook. In the midst of the jabs, we learn one or two things. Atimes some jabs make you to read up on such jabs and you will come back to give a merciless counterjabs. . Veterans will understand what i am talking about.

Government agencies, political parties, security agencies and even print media now know that anyone that ignores NL is doing so at his or own peril. This is a classical example of online forum that has given power to the youths and masses. Here, we can report any agency or personnel of government or corporation or individuals that misbehaves in real time without any fear of harassment, which was prevalent in the days of the likes of Fela and Gani Fawehinmi.

By and large, I have learnt a lot from NL in the last 10years. While growing up, I was never interested in who were our forefathers as Africans, who we were as a people, the events that led to the amalgamation of North and South, the civil war, Awo, Zik, Ahmadu Bello or Oduduwa. The contributions of all from every nook and cranny of Nigeria challenged me to read up, to separate the truth from fallacy. I had to read virtually every book or write up ever written on Nigerian Civil War, Pre and post-independence era, the days of the Evil Genius Maradona, the dark days of Abacha and the emergence of the 4th republic democracy in Nigeria. I also picked interest in the top 5-7 ethnicities in Nigeria and I had to read up on their histories too.

Seun thanks for creating this forum. It has been an avenue for youths to air their opinion freely, demand better governance and forge a better country for ourselves. Even the ethnic jabs is forcing all parties to have mutual respect for ourselves despite all the animosities and probably collaborate to achieve an objective of a better country.

I am specially hailing Katsumoto, Dayokanu, Desola, Chino, Abagworo, Shymexx, Duru1, Dede1 AndreUwe, Fulanmania, Aresa, OrlandoOwoh, Ijakumo, Modath, Soundking, Sunnybobo, Anonimi, StBlack, StOla, arewafederation, AareOnakakanfo, cheruv, debosky, PenSniper, eggheaders, oduastates, Ngwakwe, EzeNri, dearpreye, dozzybaba (mad-dest boy on NL), VICTORCIZA, OPCNairailand, NgeneUkwenu, idupaul, MayorofLagos, T9sky, pazienza, Jason123 Deridegull, IlekeHD, ACM10, raumdeuter, odenigboaroli, 9jacrip, Aigbofa, Beaf, Passingshot, nduchucks, Iyangbali, fiiznation, Firefire, Omenka, Orikinla, Anonimi, Aljarem, Berem, ijawmilitant, EasternActivist, JAckBaueress1, Freeglobe, ANAMBRAII, tupacshakur, Zimoni, demdem, kobojunkie, fstranger, barcanista or is it Tonyebarcanista, ezeagu, obiagu1, basilo101, tonychristopher etc You contributed immensely in making NL a vibrant social forum it is today, most especially the Politics section.

Looking forward to another decade.

Well done! Surviving ten years on NL is not easy.

I wish there could be more robust debates devoid of ethnic and religious sentiments but I know it's a very tall order for the Nairalanders of today.

SamMilla1:
The government of Nigeria has lost focus on governance. Scandals and economic hardship has taken over the land. Foreign exchange currently determines itself because there is no structure whatsoever to keep it on check.

The Northern Team at the central bank, headed by one Emefiele stooge from the south has succeeded in taking us closer to Zimbabwe than any other country in the World.

Another Team of Northern illiterates headed by one stooge Kemi Adeosun from the south, does nothing else except weeding out every PDP sympathizer from the ministry of Finance after tagging them ghost workers.

One thing people failed to understand was that Okonjo Iweala wasn't just a minister of finance, she was also stubborn enough not to allow some useless demonic governors and politicians dictate to her. This Kemi doesn't strike me as someone who can tell El Rufai to sit down.
......

Buhari is losing grip of the economy while chasing money we don't know anything about.
He did this in 1984 and it created poverty in the land to the extent that people queued to receive sugar and milk.

Now people are owing at the grocery stores all over the country and both houses of the National Assembly are busy fighting while Masses suffer everyday.

Ugosample:
Didn't oil do $147 under Obasanjo?
oil did $120 under Obj too, so you are ignorant for saying that is the highest in world history,


I don't want to engage in a discussion with you because I know your antecedents here, and you are a blind Buhari supporter.

Little one, provide your evidence and stop talking trash when it's obvious you're a stark illiterate.

Ugosample:
Did she or did she not lay the foundation for these structures
And besides, the media has lied to you guys, who told you that we had "unprecedented" earnings under GEJ?

The only tenure to enjoy that really was the second term of OBJ.
Go and check monthly data on oil prices.
Was it not the Governors who wanted the money from ECA to be shared?
And the foreign reserves is managed by the CBN, so from the comments you made up there, it means you know nothing about economics

Average crude price under GEJ was around $104.8 btw 2011 and 2014 (107.46 in 2011, 109.45 in 2012, 105.87 in 2013 and 96.29 in 2014). It was the highest in world history but GEJ failed to seize the opportunity to write his name in gold as he wasted the earnings as revelations have revealed so far. Check www.statista.com It tracks all info about crude prices.

The governors were right to ask for their own share of ECA since they knew Jonathan was already illegally taking from it without their knowledge. What did GEJ do with FG's share? Looted!
If there is anyone who has shown ignorance here, it's you.

Ugosample:
Kemi Adeosun better than NOI?
Are these people in this forum jokers?

Who cleaned out the foreign debt?
Who built the SWF?
Who built the MTEF?
Anywau, I'll stop here.....
Many people here don't know anything.

Under whose tenure did ECA and Foreign Reserves get badly depleted?
Under whose watch did mismanagement of unprecedented earnings occur?

Well educated and sincere people know that there can't be a worse time to be a Nigerian president or a Minister of Finance than this period we are in. The current team has been busy clearing the mess created by the IB and his forty thieves and the team is not doing badly.

If we have no any other reason to believe we were lucky to have IB and NOI kicked out, we should always remember that they were already borrowing to pay salaries of FG workers in March/April 2015 before their exit. Despite that very gloomy picture, the current team has managed to stay afloat, bail out states that were not paying salaries long before this administration, managed to increase IGR, completed an abandoned rail project, and many more.

The economic hardship Nigeria is passing through is not peculiar to her. It's the same thing being experienced in all oil-dependent economies of the world. A simple search on Google will educate the doubters. Qatar, Saudi, UAE, Kuwait and a host of others have had to take many painful decisions to balance their books. Yet there is still bleak future there and those are countries that spent their oil windfall well. How much more us that wasted ours!

deco22:
jonathan built the railway.buhari just merely commisioned it

Yeah, you're correct. I just remember that Jonathan doesn't like commissioning projects. My bad!

YourMajesty:
Lol, atleast it's better than being a certified zombie.

Whatever makes you sad is welcomed by me.

I can't spank a child and expect him/her not to cry. Removing the Ineffectual Buffoon was more than spanking you and your co travellers.

Wail on boy.

YourMajesty:
Am not suprised this bullshiit is coming from you. It's typical of a zombified supporter to type this impressive bullshiit.

Keep wailing! It's in your DNA.

YourMajesty:
Reasonable Nigerians are tired of APC but some zombies will prefer to eat shiit from the demonic APC.

The only party Nigerians are tired of is the Poverty Development Party, the ultra corrupt party that messed the country for sixteen years.
