All these mone we have been hearing since. Where are they?

So u people do not have anything important to talk about?? Anyways it is the Ezendi that is answering u people. Mstweee. If he does not nko? What will oba do?

fistonati:
Of course, their must be ideology. The core essence of education is not about speaking grammar, its about knowing what's right and correcting what's wrong.

Ok, so what are we moving for. Because i really do not know why we are wasting time. We need to begin to move quickly. Kick these people out or demand what we want and they must answer the people.

This is where anyone that wants PDP to have in roads back into the north should look into, the North think of themselves as bros & sis first before political alignment.

How they intend to get votes from them, we siddon dey look. Mama P's "Brain dead" & "born throwey" speeches didn't do them any favors last time.... PDP agents couldn't even drive PDP emblazoned vehicles in daylight let alone campaign!!

If Fayose's engagement was with his brain & not his oral cavity only, he'd have long realized this fact.....

However , I'm just imagining SWerners having to make a choice between Fayose & Prof Osinbanjo ... Fayose's delusion of grandeur ehn .......

Don't even worry. Nobody will vote them and if they rig election, revolution in NIgeria because nobody will agree. Ali Sherrif my president!!!Mstweeeeeeeeee.

It is not just about protesting. We need to understand and agree what we are protesting for before we start. So what is it?

They are useless. I do not see what their purpose is. They are there to represent us but they represent themselves. Moving for scraping NASS.

Is 2019 going to stop Anambra young men with secondary school certificates,from creating SME,s that will eventually grow and employ masters degree holders? mtchreeeew!

Igbo people are fine. Their own is good. Degree or no degree they will make money. All these politicians thinking the can come and tell people what to do when they do not even know how the world works.

Just now I have heard that 800 Boko Haram Militants have surrendered http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/800-boko-haram-militants-surrender-to-nigerian-military-general-claims-a6972496.html. The army is building a rehabilitation camp for them.

This is so convinient given that Obama is currently mobilizing his Marine Air troops to invade Africa. http://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-watch-1460055397
So now we would have 2 U.S military bases in each west African country; AFRICOM and this new one. Ok ooo.

caprini1:
Well said sir.....but,from where am from in Anambra state,school cert holders employs masters degree holders,so don't teach me nada about getting my ass up and doing something.

Yeah we know. That is why that is stopping come 2019. No required qualifications and/or experience, no way

Dude, after a devaluation, imported goods become MORE EXPENSIVE not more affordable. You really should think things before posting.

Of cuz it increases. What are u saying? The prices of goods and services increase accordingly. So imports are more expensive. But that law never works in the Nigerian market. The person who made law never expected that a country would export raw materials and re-import finished goods. So if we are making some return on the exportation of those goods, even if the value of the currency is going down, but a country has phony GDP growth (growth in the amount of money individuals hold), they are able to afford the imports anyways so it does not apply. So they can get our raw materials cheaply, then sell us the finished products at ridiculous prices and of course we will buy it because although the currency has fallen, people have more money to spend.
And mind you, fuel is a necessity so its income elasticity is almost zero. Regardless of the price of fuel we must buy fuel. So if we are importing fuel, we cannot be devaluing the currency. Else you become Zimbabwe. 1trillion Zim Dollars.

oduastates:
Not only that.
We need citizenship,basic economics and civic test for the masses /politicians as well.
Mumuism is why quacks like okonjo can come mortgage the future of generations.

And unfortunately most Nigerians do not even know how things are supposed to be. They are so used to this rubbish system that when the right thing begin to happen, they call it "suffering". They do not even know that how economies make sustainable income and build institutional systems that work. They have stolen the nigerian mind in this country. SMH.

How does devaluation help us afford imported goods? You ever taken an economics class?

How does devaluation help us afford imported goods? You ever taken an economics class?

YOU ARE ASKING ME THIS QUESTION AND ASKING ME IF I HAVE TAKEN ECONOMICS CLASS LOL

Absolutely!!!. Even my dad supports Buhari. The intelligent ones know exactly what is going on. The stupid ones a.k.a PDP looting/wannabes are crying for fuel and light. APC does not have my vote in 2019 (yet). But PDP absolutely not. Never again.

Enyimbamercedes:
Reminds me of the article on how to criticize the present government. Always start of with blaming PDP...I would be able to address your comment if i understood half of what you said but honestly i do not. How do you refine your fuel without...wait for it...functional REFINERIES? I agree on fuel not selling at the right price but i don't know what that has to do with bribes from the western countries. You may wish to recall that the PDP-led government attempted to sell fuel at the right price by removing subsidies but we all cried out and occupied the streets...now you wail that they collected bribes. Now listen, for as long as we import and we have FX restrictions, we will always be exposed to shortages. For as long as we fix prices and subsidize, the sector will never grow. No refineries will be built and we won't be able to refine and sell.

Because western countries have to ensure that our raw materials which we export sell at next to nothing. The goal is to drive the prices of our raw exports down so we can devalue the currency to be able to afford the finished goods when it is re-imported back to us. Fuel included.

Absolutely!!! I love it. On the decisions he has made so far I completely support the president. Only intelligent people know what is really going on here. The stupid ones are crying for fuel and light.

Excellentmind:
You don't just sit on the chair of your comfort zone and type trash from your freckle mind. Nigeria's economy has taken the path of recession due to poor economic policy and lack of knowledge. Yet, you continue to support a government that has lost control of the economy as declared by lie lie Muhammed. Comment is not by force.

What poor economic policy? This is the first time in 16 years we have even had "An Economic Policy". I wonder what happened to all the intelligent people in this country. Nigerians are wailing because money is no longer easy to come by. Welcome to he real world. You cannot just loot money. You have to work hard, work really hard and actually contribute usefully to society to get money out of it. Nigeria is the most corrupt country in the world today. Outsiders look at us and laugh and they wonder how so much people can be foolish at the same time. That you even say what you are saying simply means you do not even know how a country makes money and you think it is by selling oil. All we have been doing for 16 years is giving our oil wells out and selling it. Leaving our own people in the Niger Delta to be the destitute of this murderous people. No one except the PDP looters and their handbags/wannabes profited from this 16 years. Schooling became harder, finding a job became harder, we have to fly to england/India (India that was almost nothing when we were everything back in the 60s) to get good treatment (so those of us who cannot afford to go to india and do not have looting connections can die abi?).

And guess what? The entire world in a recession thanks to our over dependence on the dollar as a global currency that determines change in the trade markets, a default by American and EU banks means the whole world has to drink garri. So APC is not the cause of Nigeria's recession, the world has been in it for a long time. If your problem is fuel and light then I am sorry but you have a long way to go.

PapaBrowne:
Interesting video.

From all indications the cause of the Fuel scarcity is clear. If you listened carefully, you'd understand the real reason why it was so easy for Jonathan to provide us fuel and it's been so difficult for Buhari to do same.

Kachichukwu's 3 undertones.

1)We(NNPC) shouldn't have attempted to go it(importation) alone.
Buhari assumed that NNPC can supply all our fuel needs so he decided to discontinue supply relationship with importers by frustrating their forex demands. He wanted NNPC to do all the importation but forgot to determine first whether they had the capability to execute such a monumental charge. It's like deciding the government would now be responsible for bread supply in the country without first determining if they know the flour suppliers, whether they have enough bakers and things like that.

2)Pipeline vandalism.
Kachichukwu said there has been more pipeline vandalism this year alone than there was in the last 3 years combined. And this has affected terribly fuel supply logistics.
Well I wouldn't say anything here besides the fact that the tompolo pipeline contract suddenly looks like it was the wiser step afterall since whoever is now guarding those pipelines are failing terribly where Tompolo succeeded.

3)Returning to the Jonathan strategy-
Kachichukwu has admitted that the NNPC cannot do this importation thing alone. So same as Jonathan did, they are now deciding to let the private sector get in on importation again.

Truth be told, Buhari's assumption that what worked in the 70s would work today is what is largely responsible for the troubles we are finding ourselves. The earlier Buhari allows his minister their freedom to operate, the faster we would get out of the mess we are facing.

Why dont they have the capacity? So why do they exist then? What is their purpose if they cannot meet the capacity of the sector they were created to manage? Why do they get paid so much? Please do your jobs. No one cares really what Buhari did. Why were we importing fuel? So what has NNPC been doing for 16 years? Collecting importation loot. Please do ur jobs.

caprini1:
Yes I watched the video,and Ibe is a good orator,but I refuse to be swayed by his lyrics...the balance of the 40% of product by importers to supplement what NNPC produces,did not come partly by lack of forex for importers.........oh please!.....knowing that everything runs on fuel,why not make special provisions for them?....On payments of subsidy,why not negotiate better and at least keep the fuel coming,than wait before it became like a tussle between marketers.

You heard what he said... Get up and do something useful. Stop sitting on ur ass and expect govt to put loot in ur account

So every thing still links back to PDP. See Kachikwu on the field. Some PDP will never do. God Bless APC OOOOO thank you GOD. We are finally refining oil. Finally there is hope. All of you screaming for fuel, the suffering has just started. Sit tight.

NwaNimo1:
Nigeria is a disgrace - so you are collecting loan from China only to hand the money back to them in the form of contracts?

How about indigenous companies getting these contracts to boost our economy - and not China's?

They are run by PDP like minded people. They will never do the job. So No thanks.

Who else is to blame? Who else? No tell me who do we blame? The British? Abacha?

So is it Tinubu that is stopping you people form naming him. And did you find any account that belongs to Tinubu? Please stop looking for by force problems.

PDP is a useless party filled with illeterate pot bellied old fools. so what do you expect. If you ask any PDP politician to define the word economies-of-scale they don't know. Like i said we need age cap and educational requirement cap on our presidency. We must see certificates.

OLADD:
You're on your own. Sometimes we can predict the outlook of Sunday from Saturday's unfolding events. Besides, if a man spends two months in practising madness when will he eventually hit the market? This govt doesn't have anything to offer, it's so glaring.

They actually have more than PDP. Nigerians are crying because money is no longer easy to come by. Well, welcome to real world. You cannot just loot money, you have to work for it. And work hard. If PDP tries any rubbish. Then they will see that the youths of this country are mad people. We do not support APC oo. But never PDP. We want none. PDP or APC. well APC has 3 years to go and we are willing to give them that chance after which they will be kicked out. PDP is dead on arrival in at least 5 states now. The youth movement will go slowly through every state and make sure come 2019, pdp is dead an if APC messes up they too will be gone.

PasNet:
Good response..... but I need to question your administrative sense........ What happens to the "one-step-at-a-time" principle that negates "putting all your eggs in a basket"?

It is only not professional, it is also a wicked act for an administrator to want to restructure the administrations key component all at a single time, there are technical process to approach things. I can never shut down business operation of my clients all in the name of carrying out a maintenance or a troubleshoot, they will loss money and I won't get paid. If I will have to do that in worst case scenario, it means the client is spending money and not making money. Same thing applies to running a country, infact serious caution must come to play.

There is nothing like one step at a time. Rip the bandage off. Else we keep looking for comfort and living in mediocrity. We must not import fuel. If it means we will start treking to work, so be it. We must refine the fuel ourselves.

neocortex:
I doubt if you understood what you posted.

Isn't it ironic that the same western country
is where Buhari is going to beg for loans.

The fuel we are currently using please is it being refined in Nigeria ?

What are you even saying? God there is really no intelligent person in this country again. My dear. Buhari did not go to beg for loans, he asked for direct loans not through IMF to cut off the IMF routes that leave African countries destitute. He said he was not collecting IMF funds. And he has to find a way to get that money. Now the looted funds is what i am interested in. Nigerians are so lazy. You think your problem is light OR FUEL.

coolbis:
nigerians have very short memory, we all have forgotten that this crisis started first quarter of 2015 where NOI stated categorically that we needed to tighten our belt cos nigeria is not making as much as it made the last 4 years. As a matter of fact in one of the interviews granted to the newsmen,NOI admitted that the government had to borrow to pay January and February salary. It was within this period that the govt of PDP could not pay the subsidy owed the fuel marketer, thereby leaving behind long fuel queues and backlog of fuel subsidy running into hundreds of billions of naira. This present govt on assumption of office had to battle with all these mess and was able to bring sanity after paying the backlog.
If the problem the foreign investors have is devaluation of our currency, then they should look for other investment destinations, devaluation of our currency in the past has done us no good, so I stand by Mr president on this.

Me too. I do not know about the light. But the fuel and FX, I am behind him. If the so called foreign investors are not ready to actually "Invest" and are only interested in using Nigeria as a source of cheap labour and money supply market then they should pack their things and go.

eph12:
Let's also be clear that one does not place the cart before the ox. Let's also be clear that the amount of revenue Nigeria generates is enough to get things done to an extent that citizens don't have to pass through fire to earn peanuts. The revenue we are currently generating plus the looted funds that has been recovered can be used to repair and maintain our refineries up to the needed standard. If government is complaining of sabotages technology (cameras and heat sensors) and armed forces should be used to guard our installations. It's not rocket science. Bill of almost 100k is brought for electricity that we get for less than total of 20hrs in a month and you say we should suffer and smile? You don't know what you're saying oga.

Revenue from where now? And even when you get this money where will you refine the oil? NIGERIA HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS AND TRUST ME LIGHT AND FUEL IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

Positiveminds:
Your level of economic illiteracy is beyond cure. Before you make a comment next time read all relevant books, do not forget to ask God to give you some sense.

No it is not my dear. I am quite sure of my economics. The FX is crippling the dollar because the point of devaluing the currency is to make the imported good and services affordable to Nigerians. But since we are no longer importing, that move is redundant to us. All it will do is make the dollar stronger. If you are one of those pple that get extra cash through forex. Well sorry. Look for another route.
Nigerians are lazy people. Now that the usual corner corner of rubbish has been wiped out every body is crying foul. We must do things the right way in country. I do not want to have to aspire to join a club of looters to live comfortably. If i work appropriately I should have what i deserve.
That fuel we must refine it. No more importation of fuel. That is unheard of. Have you ever heard Russia, Saudi, Venezuela importing fuel? Only Nigerians and all of you agree to live in this stupidity. It seems to me like all the intelligent people in this country died. Well, we have no quality education so all we can think about is "No Fuel", "No Light". You would rather be comfortable in the short run than establish a working system that is beneficial in the long run. PDP mentality. I do not know what Buhari is doing but for the FX and the fuel. Thumbs up. For once we have a president with a brain.

PDP? If not for useless PDP the word APC won't exist. Those devils. Please don't male me angry. Of is because of people like u that everyone says Nigerians are foolish people. So because PDP was throwing bread crumbs at u now they r d best. Buhari has done in one year what PDP could
Not do in 16. Forget d fuel scarcity and light. We are refining oil. Do u know wat that means. PDP killed all our industries, killed all our jobs, killed d health sector, killed d education sector, killed the mining sector, killed manufacturing. We were importing toothpick. U come here and say pdp . don't get me angry plz. APC is no better but that statement u made is an insult on my civic right. I am not begging PDP. It is ours. For every Nigerian. Look at small Gambia. Quality education is free even to d son of a Fisher man. They do not import even one grain of rice. Please don't make angry. PDP will never see power again in this country. Ali sheriff will now be our President? Not while I am Here. We are mobilizing all d youths. If PDP even tries rubbish in 2019. Just wait.

BossWike:
APC and their e-rats sowed the seed... It is the law of karma!

What seed? Because they blocked your loot? Kowa and ydp 2019!!!! And if u r above 40. Don't bother.
