But it has been about 13+ months since you have been elected president and why should you keep blaming the past govt for your present and foreseen failures?

The past govt was already diversifying the economy when the gullible zombies voted you in and you came and obliterated the good efforts by the previous govt.

through the comprehensive Agricultural Transformation Agenda program of the previous govt, they recorded many landmark achievements. Through agriculture they created thousands of jobs across the country. The provision of inputs in 10 Northern states enabled dry season farming; and profitably engaged over 250,000 farmers and youths even during the dry season.

Through the comprehensive Agricultural Transformation Agenda program, inflation fell to 7.8% in October 2013, its lowest since 2008, as a result of higher domestic food production.

they launched the Growth Enhancement Scheme to provide targeted support for seeds and fertilizers to 5 million farmersper year or 20 million farmers within fouryears. Through the scheme, they were providing subsidized inputs to farmers via an e-Wallet program. In fiscal year 2013, an estimated 4.2 million farmers received subsidized inputs. As a result, in 2013, they produced 1.1 million metric tonnes of dry season rice across 10 Northern states; and over 250,000 farmers and youths in these states are now profitably engaged in farming even during the dry season.

they launched Staple Crop Processing Zones to support investments in the entire agricultural value chain. there are significant private investment commitments from agribusiness ventures such as: Flour Mills of Nigeria, the Dangote Group, Syngenta, Indorama, AGCO, and Belstar Capital.

In 2012, 2.2 million metric tonnes of cassava chips were exported, exceedingthe Agricultural Transformation Agenda’s target by over 100%, while the 40% substitution of cassava for wheat has been achieved through research and collaboration with the IITA and Federal Institute for Industrial Research.Similarly, there has been a decline in wheat imports to Nigeria from an all-time high of 4,051,000 MT in 2010 to 3,700,000 MT in 2012.

About 200 women in Benue State were trained on how to make compost for farming and 360 farmers in the same state, were trained on climate change adaptability in agriculture. The environment and farming in Benue state got a boost from about 600 men and women in Benue state who participated in training on how to be environmentally better farmers.

they established community woodlots of 10 hectares each in Plateau and Kogi (10ha) states. they restored 10 hectares of degraded forest in Achareni Forest Reserves in Kogi state and rehabilitated 10 hectares degraded forest reserves in Niger state. the administration also launched Presidential Initiative on Coastal and River Bank protection on flood in Asa River (Kwara State). they established two skill acquisition centresto train people on the fabrication of solar -powered grinding machines in Kaiama and Baruten in Kwara State. and so on!

What policies has Buhari projected to diversify the economy? he is rather depriving private stakeholders of economic policy-making participation and turning Nigeria into a Socialist economy instead of a Mixed economy. Are we in a communist state?.

Did he achieved all of these in his first 13 months, he came in at a time of surplus, this is a meagre accomplishment to flaunt.

Shave your head to the last skin and mourn, do not call her for at least 2 weeks from now. Thereafter give her a short call and tell her you have agreed. Give the relationship a closure. cest fini.

While you are helping a lady, ensure you are also progressing. You cant be teaching a girl tutorial in a course and she is getting A's , while u are getting C's. In no time, she would soon demean you.

As a child i had a similar problem, infact i was always promoted on trial from my first schooling class of Nursery 2 to pri 2. At age 4, i was enrolled in nursery 2. By the time i got to pri . 2 , my new teacher mr bayo one day looked at me and said he has had enough of me, i simply wont talk, and i remember as a 5.5 yrs old boy, i could barely mention my name. he took me to headmasters office so i could be demoted to pri 1. , maybe d saving grace was the headmaster wasnt in office. he returned me back to class and i suspect he decided to henceforth give me special attention. By 2nd term i had improved drastically, and i had a position that earned me a prize from my teacher, the 18th position. . It was the worst position i would ever be placed afterwards in any competitive academic environment. It was my turning point. I suspect you allow d teacher focus slightly more on him at least for a term , the teacher should be rewarded with extra tips. If there isnt any improvement after a term, change his school.

taemilola:
very simple, he was released without persecution.

I doubt that is the case, i think someone is recycling an old news.

https://www.nairaland.com/3162520/ikorodu-robber-rapist-baddo-arrested

Only few have lived to tell the story after their encounter with notorious ikorodu armed robber and occultist popularly known as baddo

All hell broke loose in the early hours today as residents raised alarm after he attacked a lady in her house

Baddo who is known to wipe handkerchief on his victims private parts after raping and beating them met his waterloo on an odd Sunday

Currently lying in cemetery is a 60 year old woman who was brutally raped and stabbed to death by baddo

While many are still haunted and plaqued by their encounter with the daredevil madman, they are patiently waiting for the kabiyesi(king) to release him to the mob who can't wait to unleash terror on him

As we write this, he's currently in the king's palace, over 5 police divisions are in the king's palace to make sure sanity is restored and his fate is not decided by jungle justice

This was the news last month, what is this new one doing on a front page?

In dundee wailers logic , NDA is busy avenging for those pensioners.

When they bomb everything to ground zero. The shutdown will be ground zero. The Heaven that falls will fall on everyone

debeams:
Very similar indeed and I submitted it for EOR on the 20th too (I didn't bother taking it out at all) And yes, lisrening isn't something I want yo face again plus my 8.5 can't just go to waste. Keeping my fingers crossed and most importantly praying & trusting God for a more lenient examiner to handle my EOR. I will be praying for you too now for a favorable outcome for us.

Nice, appreciate your kind words, May God bless you beyond expectation.

temitope06:
Jeez, how about early 30s with a UK uni MSc? Shd I still search for the bastard 0.5 mark?

The optimal age range is 20-29. Anything after that, your CRS score begins to decrease at every of your birthday.

temitope06:
Spoke with a couple of people, two well known agents as well and they said my result is very ok to carry on, LRSW 9,8,7,6.5 now I'm confused. With ur result, is it that canada won't accept it cos it's a good score if u ask me. Wasting 52k every time is tiring abeg. I don't even have the cash. There has to be a way to do something with this result, what u think?

No doubt , the result is good and meets the requirement, but not meeting a CLB 9 benchmark reduces the competitiveness, and makes you lose close to 60 points. A CLB 9 is LRSW 8777. Except you are looking at Provincial nomination, it is close to impossible to get ITA without meeting a CLB 9 in IELTS.

debeams:
But if it works out, you will have your 15k back plus you don't ve to go through the rigor of rewriting and aiming for a high score in all, all over again.
I'm equally in your shoe, my results from 4th June was 8.5,8.5, 7, 6.5 - LRSW and I immediately returned it for EOR. I know it's a risk but since it's writing I choose to believe God & be optimistic. Btw that was my 3rd attempt with my last result being 6.5,7,7,7.5 - LRWS. So you and mind you the cash ain't even @ my disposal. So I understand your stance but I think the risk is worth it.
I don't normally put me out there but just thought I might encourage you with this. So make your pick on what it shall be.

hmmm, good advice. My situation is similar to yours, infact we took d exam d same day. My LRSW 8 8.5 7.5 6.5. I applied for a remark on june 20, i have my fingers crossed as i await a positive news. I must confess i am taking d risk because it is my second attempt, and i have got comparative weakness with listening where i need a minimum of 8. I cant afford to take another exam without bringiing closure to this one, There is no guarantee i will score an 8 or more in my 3rd attempt for listening. Also, i scored a 7 in writing in my first attempt. LRSW 7.5 7.5 7.5 7

Utter Madness. How can someone look at a child of 5 and have sex with her ? The very painful cry, the.....

mamachizzy:
Am a lady, but I support that guy. Did the guy ask to go on a date with the gal, or with her friends; Ladies need to stop this nonsense. A guy asks u out, and u want to go with ur entire kindred just to see if he will impress u, does that sound normal
Beside since the money was "just 3k", why is she complaining. While u are busy thinking he needs to impress u, u forget that u also need to impress him . Bringing all ur gal frnds along for a date with a guy, says a lot about u as a lady!!!!!

The part in bold is what many girls curiously fail to understand. That a guy shows interest in you to invite you on a date does not mean he is not eager to see your good qualities beyond physical.

More like when you encroach on another mans land.

Joel3:
I don't know the version of the national budget you are using.

here is the published one.
Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday presented a 2016 budget proposal of 6.07 trillion Naira.
Nigeria’s 2016 Budget is based on a crude oil benchmark price of $38 per barrel and a production estimate of 2.2 million barrels per day for 2016.
See the full breakdown below
GDP Growth Rate Projection
4.37%
Revenue Projection 3.86 Naira
Deficit 2.22 trillion Naira (equivalent to 2.16% of Nigeria’s GDP)
Oil Related Revenues 820 billion Naira
Non-oil Revenues 1.45 trillion Naira
Projected Independent Revenues
1.51 trillion Naira
Capital Expenditure 1.8 trillion Naira (30% of total budget)
Works, Power and Housing
433.4 billion Naira
Transport 202.0 billion Naira
Interior 53.1 billion Naira
Special Intervention Programs
300 billion Naira
Education 369.6 billion Naira
Defence 294.5 billion Naira
Health 221.7 billion Naira
Ministry of Interior 145.3 billion Naira
Foreign and Domestic Debt Service
1.36 trillion Naira
Sinking Fund towards the retirement of maturing loans
113 billion Naira
Non-debt Recurrent Expenditure
2.65 trillion Naira

Deficit will be financed by a combination of domestic borrowing of N984 billion, and foreign borrowing of N900 billion totalling N1.84 trillion.
There is a proposed a 9% reduction in non-debt recurrent expenditure, from N2.59 trillion in the 2015 Budget to N2.35 trillion in 2016.
The budgeted N300 billion for Special Intervention Programs, takes the total amount for non-debt recurrent expenditure to N2.65 trillion.

Youare living in the past. In May. 2016, the appropriation ACT awarded 500 billion to social programs. Maybe you are reading bill not yet an ACT.

Scam Alert: FG Promise of 500,000 teachers job at N23,000 a month ( Red Flag)

The country is thrown into commotion as gullible youth running here and there for e- registration. the Federal Government promised another frivolous N-Power which claimed 500,000 jobs at N23,000 a month? Parent from different part of the country calling their children to go and register... I feel so bittered by this open fraud and couldn't help but come here to vent my feelings.

Before I start let me do the maths.

N23,000 X 500,000 = N11,500,000,000 Per Month (Red Flag)

N11,500,000,000 X 12 = N133,000,000,000 Per Year (Red Flag)

N133,000,000,000 X 2 = N276,000,000,000 Two Years. (Red Flag)

Where will the federal government get all this money from? Now that the oil price has fallen and the continues attack on oil installation by Niger Delta Avengers.? Many state have not paid 6 months workers salary with low or no allocation from federal government. This NPower scheme didn't reflect in the national budget. some body should help me with where is this money coming from?

Before the last election see the valid points raised by PDP below.




True they say ”job application scheme is the most easiest way to scam gullible and vulnerable people"
osinbajo who is a pastor has allowed himself to be used by politician into lying scheme.

If only you had read the opening post, 500 billion naira was allocated in the budget for this sort of programme.

Highly likely it is a sexual incompatibility issue , with a very slim chance it is money issue. Whichever way, the over 30 yr old 'girl' is not mature.e

Move on. I get really sad to see men/guys trying to talk a girl back in to a relationship she has said she is leaving. It is not wisdom or love, it is foolishnesss. If you cheated on her, and she on that basis opt to leave, it is understandable, but if not, do not ever try to talk a lady back in to a relationship.

comos:
story for the week.

Fashola said work will begin at Lagos-Ibadan express road last week, at the moment no contractor on site

I was on the road less than 30 minutes ago, RCC was on site. Can you justify your "at the moment" assertion?

Know2020:
This country is finished!

Let me see the twit that will invoke GEJ. GEJ left office with naira to dollar at 210 and today it's 313. WTF? GEJ inherited naira to dollar from Yaradua at 165, it stayed at this rate +/-15 for 4 yrs, it was only towards the end of 2014 that we began to see fall in naira largely caused by those who are bent on sabotaging his achievements to make sure he doesn't get re-elected. Compare dollar to naira lost in value under GEJ from 165 to 210 within 4-5 yrs span...that's very reasonable. However under Buhari from 210-313 in barely 6 months? This is disastrous...an invitation to anarchy. Same goes for fuel scarcity, there was never a fuel scarcity under GEJ except for his last few months in office, again largely perpetrated by the same very savages who are bent on making sure he never got re-elected.

You noticed how yorubas are quiet all of a sudden? Because their sister Kemi Adeosun is at the helm of the finance. Had this drastic dollar free fall happened under Iweala? Oh lord...they will be calling for her head not even resignation. They are already making excuses for Fashola to downplay the expectations on him...see 3rd topic now on front page. Hypocrites!

Your analysis is fraudulent, The drop in oil price started from July 2014 from his peak of 117usd/b to 110 , 90, 80, 70, and 65 around december2014, there was so much pressure on the forex due to the drop in oil price, Naira was devaluated officicially from 159 to 198 /usd, it was over 220 at the parallel/black market. Why do you wailing zombies love to lie, and bury your heads in sand like a messed up ostrich.?

The pressure on naira that has led to his current value is 99% directly due to the continuos fall in oil price, price is now 28usd/barrel. If we were under GEJ may be dollar would be 450 naira by now. Get lost with your blind loyalty. Nigerians took a wise decision on March 28, 2015. It is either you are dumb , ignorant or gullible.

The boobs crossed the line first

sweetgala:
I came to find out a very quiet friend, who was otherwise shy and timid and very slow to anger had been physically abusing his partner for a long while and she lost a pregnancy.

Even when we reaon it among friends we can not put it together, someone being nice and reserved doesn't put them above prime evil, it actually makes them more prone to extreme unannounced violence

You are perfectly correct, most crimes of passion have been linked to the so called very reserve/quiet individuals.

obasiken:
What of Second Niger bridge and east west road?
Ok i remenber they are located in the 5% region.

He has previously mentioned the second niger bridge as number 1 priority in the SE. As to the east west road, i guess that was covered by the Niger delta ministry, not certain though.

freedomlast:
Yewande was my classmate in secondary school. very quiet. This is unbelievable.

That someone is typically quiet doesnt mean (s)he can not murder.

Every human being can snap, we all have our breaking point, and we handle outbursts differently. In fact , psychologists discovered the quiet ones outbursts tends to be more brutal, because they have internalised so much, then when it overflows,.......it is better imagined.

Even Jesus got angry with buyers/sellers in the temple, and you know what he did thereafter if you are a bible scholar.

Pidggin:
Clinton won the primaries on the Democrat side

Wrong info.
Bernie Sanders won @ New hampshire

blackpanda:
[s][/s]

This is nothing but an attempt to cultivate public emotion for something nobody really knows about. I know yewande very well and she has NEVER been violent in her life. Moreover she is a trained lawyer and a state prosecutor, so she knows the gravity of the offence of murder. So there is definitely more to the story than meets the eye

Nobody was there when the incident happened. But the truth shall surely unfold in the course of trial

What is your point? That the man commited suicide by stabbing himself on the neck?

I hate when senseless emotions becloud reasoning

eposho:
Don't want to take unnecessary banter with your reverse psychology, it was you initially pretended to have inside knowledge hence my response.
Point is it makes no diff. Whether the guy slept @ his jse that night or not. It's all premeditated. This my point.
I don't intent to cry more than the bereaved either so I draw a fine line. Ok.

She has got a point, he ought not to have slept unguarded around her, hours after he was stabbed by her. No justifications !. Temporary separation at least for days will most likely have changed the situation, when things get far heated up, it is better to allow things to simmer.

Even Esau#s angry plan to kill Jacob simmered with time.

The budget has several loopholes, and i think the minister has acted in good faith, the pmb administration has learnt it lesson, the ministers didnt have a firm grip of the budget due to the fact they came in late, some of the supposed fellows standing in gap who initially were involved in the budget process were crooks, but the correction lies in these sort of process and even implementation stage.
