My friend shut up!

Your budget since 1973 has been dependent on oil so much so that the same oil is the primary bench mark earner.

Or how can we ignore your president lamenting on oil price and jetting around OPEC nations to have oil cuts?

Pray tell how can your highly dependent consumer nation maintain imports?

You ingrates in the Southwest have no shame to deny the oil that feeds you.

Isn't that why you hate the mere mention of Biafra?

Isn't that why the likes of Asari and Tompolo over their threat to return to the creeks gave you nightmares of hunger?

look at your useless Osun and it's rascal of a governor who kept lamenting on oil price as of his useless state contributes a single drop.

My friend tell me what Nigeria will survive on once the oil stops flowing !

We have other things. Many other things, Land, Gold, Tin, Limestone, Uranium etc

Perceptor:
Relax man, u aint going no where. U aint matured enough to be left to urself. Together shall we make this country great again. U ar our brethren, we love u and we'll neva let u go. winks#)

I am not biafra.

I support you till the end. Please tell me what you need. I mean we are not just blabing on twitter? hope not. We need to take our freedom back. Are you really ready to do this?

why are they not putting this people in a hole

Logically, sentiments aside, Sani Abacha. Even though we had no human rights and were oppressed like sheep, our country was growing.

Britain they do not do things for nothing. Look deeper, what do they want? why now?

Ok good and fair. But has he increased the megawatts to accomodate these new intakes?

Perceptor:
You and this ur oyel sha! dont u av any other thing to brag about outside oil? You pple ar jst too shallow in ur thoughts by think Nigeria cannot survive without oil: the northerners, wch u believe av nothing, ar hardworking farmers that produce most of nigerian foods despite the harsh climate in their region. Aside that, they do any job that guarantee their survival and ar contented wt watever they av. So only ignorant, blunderous and lazy oafs would think they cannot survive without them!

Oya let biafra go naa if you pple dont need oil. if they go ur northern leaders will have to find a new avenue for stealing money. or hope that pple buy cows

RevDesm0ndJuju:
It isn't up for debate if islamization is possible. The process has already began!

You won't see this because you doubting thomases are like that myopic frog who do not see latent changes.

Is it until an Emir is appointed for the entire oduastan emirate by the Supreme Khalifa of Western Sudan that you will agree that islamization is up and running?

The legal age of maturity for the girl child was amended to accommodate Islamic pedastrial culture from 18 to 13.

That means an illiterate 13 year old northern girl is an adult and can vote while in the south you must attain the legal age of 18!

The gender equality bill was opposed by northern muslims who stated categorically that men and women can not be considered equal in any manner by drawing on Islamic decrees.

Let's forget the Islamic military alliance Buhari has entered under Saudi Arabia but can we ignore the Fulani muslim rampage in the Christian muslim belt which the president has not even bothered to make a statement on?

How about boko haram?

****

I understand. These things the legal age, sharia law, gender equalities are things we now have to demand from our govt. We cannot sit here and continue to let this happen. We will not stand for a muslim run country and there is no space for islamic laws in our constitution. We need to do something about this

God does not answer such prayers.

2. We need 2 gt more vocal political and socially.... It wud help cure d society of certain vices case study Ese Oruru....
3. Invest in Nigeria..... Dis wud boost d economy wish wud reduce poverty and ignorance and produce more resistive citizens dat can stand up 4 demselves cos dey can afford their basic needs

we need a neutral power that overwrites all public offices. i rekon hands of the youth. by youth i mean between the ages of 18-30.

right now we are not religiously or ethnicly divided. We are people-politician divided. Our problem now is saraki and minions of beasts in senate. they need to get out of there.

Rossikk:
Or we will become like America where a woman can kick you out of the house after an argument, and take over your house. Divorce rates will shoot up to 65% like in the US as the wife starts to wear the trousers in the house and turn a demigoddess. She will insult and abuse you and if you slap her she'll call the police and they'll lock you up even without evidence. Say no now before it is too late.

This is not about marriage problems, this is about people's fundamental human rights and the protection of children's quality of lives after the death of their fathers.

Nigeria can never be islamized. The northerners know this. If they even try it, that will give biafra a legitimate reason to go. Say bye bye to oil and everything else. If biafra goes, nobody wants to live in an islam dominated society, Yoruba will follow, say bye bye to lagos, then middle-belt bye abuja. They wont even try. They know

APC, PDP They are the same things

From which money is he paying all these people with? CAR + Lawyer fees for 600 lawyers, na wa o

Very convenient; Explanations,
1) They have been working for Buhari all along
2) Buhari has begged Emir of Kano or Iman of Sokoto.
3)They are in Kenya now, sooooo, maybe their job in Nigeria is finished, next target Kenya
4) They are western patsies and Buhari has paid his dues to the west.
My head is spinning, help

I swear if Saraki is not prosecuted, then Nigeria is a dictatorship not a democracy. There are people in prison for stealing yams because they were hungry as these beasts robbed them of their country's wealth. I will never be answerable to any Nigerian authority again.

No we want all of them out, PDP, APC all of them should get out

This is real. Bukola Saraki and his sea of corrupt lunatics despite Nigerian's Complaints and sues went ahead and bought these exotic cars for himself and senate members. That is to say that Nigerian's are worthless, we can't do anything and even though the anti-social media bill was not passed, the media has no effect on them.
This phase is setting an example in Nigeria. It is showing what power certain groups of people really have. If we allow this to go through, then it will be like this forever. We will be ignored and forever lost. What Boldness?
The exotic cars was more important to them than a nation's cry for help. This is not about if they needed it or not, it about their defiance, disloyalty and complete disregard for the law. In order words they can do what they like an no one can do anything about it. We do not want this.

We need to find a way to do something about this. This is no joke. They need to step down. Saraki First.
Please someone help. This is a real insult on all young minds in this country. Bikola Saraki, Dino Maleye and counterparts must go.

kaziblake:
inciting tribal comments will unite the country abi

It is true, not tribal

I have said this numerous times, The North is Nigeria's problem. Nothing else. I feel we should cut the north off. I feel the Yorubas and Igbos today will be willing to sit at a table and discuss like literates. These mallams are causing problems.

hungryboy:
Aunty, from the little knowledge were i get from Ogbunikwe community primary school,
President Buhari already submitted the 2016 budget to the National Assembly, and in that budget, he told us that, he was going to fund it with revenue from Crude oil, and loans from banks, he can't just smuggle money recovered from looters into the economy, the money go dey bank, maybe government fit create agency like Sure-P, to use those recovered loots, do something for 'we' people

I mean there should be processes to tell us where this money is going. We do not trust them. They Know this.

I may just be presumptuous, but I have to ask. Our beloved president Buhari has been on a 10 month campaign to curb corruption. During this time, he claims to have apprehended some truly corrupt leaders who loathed the nation. I have some questions.

1) Where is the money he has collected from these people?

2) Why does he borrow trillions without putting these recovered money back into the economy?

3) When is Nigeria going to finally bring OBJ, Lucky Igbenedion, David Mark to justice for all loathed monies?

I know we have been blindfolded not to ask questions, but we need to know. Just for peace of mind.

@enlightenednations

saintandsinnerz:
You are the worst person to be saying this! Do you know why? Because you are an unrepentant tribal bigot filled with hate and bitterness! Why have you failed to ask yourself the same questions any time anti-Igbo thread hits the front page? Bloody hypocrite!

That's the point. It has been happening for years to every politician around the world. They have been smeared by the media in various ways.
Children, adults, teachers, everyone has been enduring for decades. That is no excuse to take away people's fundamental human rights. Politicians have been demonised and insulted online over the years good or bad. They have been dealing with it. It's not new. Nigerian politicians are not the first. Deal with it. Digitisation is just now being properly introduced in Africa and Nigerian leaders are just beginning to understand what it actually means to hold a political position. THAT YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO. Deal with it.

People in a civil society are free to say what they want, criticise whoever and whatever they feel is not right, whether it true or not (does not matter) provided violence is not applied. It has been happening for decades all over the world it is not new. It is called the media. Deal with it.
Putting any restrictions on the freedom of speech in a society will drive investors away, and eventually drive your youth away towards where they are free to be human beings.

So essentially what the senators are saying is this, that they want a platform to be corrupt and no one should say anything about it.

Nairadean:
SHALL WE TELL THE PRESIDENT?- THISDAY

If I may quickly say this, I was not really a fan of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari until I read his interview in TheNEWS magazine sometime in 1994 — nine years after he was overthrown in a coup by General Ibrahim Babangida. Questioned on the things he got wrong as military head of state, Buhari replied candidly (and I paraphrase): “We made mistakes, but they were genuine mistakes… we were in a hurry to change Nigeria.” That instantly won me over. His perceived highhandedness was not for personal profit; it was in desperation to reform Nigerians. In one sentence, I saw honesty, I saw patriotism and I saw authenticity. I became his disciple from a distance.

I started dreaming of a Buhari presidency precisely in 1998. I can’t remember everything now, but I was then the Features Editor of THISDAY. Mr. Victor Ifijeh, then the Editor, drew my attention to a public lecture on leadership by Buhari and asked me to write a “Man in the News” feature on him for the Friday Review section. After going through Buhari’s speech, whose details I cannot now recollect (which means I’m finally getting old), I convinced myself that this was the kind of leader Nigeria badly needed. I started praying that one day, Buhari would lead Nigeria again. The inimitable Gen. Sani Abacha was the head of state then.

I would later get close to Buhari. I sized him up at close quarters and made my conclusions. One, he is very passionate about the progress of Nigeria. He believes that the country can be far better than this. Two, he believes the major problem obstructing our progress is leadership deficiency. In an interview I had with him in March 2001, he complained about the growing lawlessness in the land under President Olusegun Obasanjo’s leadership, concluding: “Instead of the dog wagging the tail, it is the tail that is wagging the dog.” Three, he told me in May 2009 that Nigeria had been ruled by “leaders without conscience”, and that was why we had not developed “despite all our resources”.

I saw in Buhari a leader who would not spend his days in office feathering his nest. I saw a leader who would not condone stealing of public funds. I saw in him a strong personality who would take a decision and stand by it, not being tossed by every wind of doctrine. However, unlike most of the modern-day Buhari fans, I was very much aware of his limitations. I knew he would be highly constrained by his worldview. I worried about his economic philosophy. I also worried about his likely choice of core team members. Above all, I knew his handling of the Nigerian situation as a military man was not replicable in a democracy. I was quite realistic.

In truth, I was not expecting magic in the event of him becoming president. I did not expect him to change Nigeria and Nigerians in four years, much less in 10 months. It so happened that in 2015, after three failed attempts, Buhari became the choice presidential candidate. The anti-Jonathan movement found a ready symbol of change in Buhari. They quickly created him in the image they wanted: a flawless magician, the ultimate messiah. I was very worried for Buhari at some point. For instance, on January 25, 2015 — more than two months before he won the election — I did foresee trouble in an article with the title: “Buhari and the Burden of Expectations.”

I wrote: “To be honest, I don’t know whether to rejoice or sympathise with Gen. Muhammadu Buhari anytime I read all the sweet comments about him on social media — especially on Twitter. I don’t know any presidential candidate who has been so idolised in recent times — which is an excellent accolade any politician will gladly take. On the one hand, it is good for him. He will not be complaining at all. No politician will complain about such good fortune, especially with only a few weeks to an election. On the other hand, my God! The expectations are sky-high. Incredible. From what I am reading, Buhari is expected to perform nothing short of magic in Aso Rock…”

I am, therefore, not surprised by the increasing murmurings and grumblings against Buhari in less than 10 months. A country perpetually reliant on fuel imports, littered with bad roads and sick hospitals, living in darkness, churning out illiterates as graduates — let’s face it: the turn-around maintenance of Nigeria will take longer than 10 months. I’ve always told my friends no president can transform Nigeria in four years or even eight years. The most important thing, I keep emphasising, is to have patriotic and competent leadership taking us in the right direction. That way, we would know that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory ahead.

Having said that, however, I am really getting worried about Buhari’s second coming. Yes, he has confronted Boko Haram decisively. Although the jury is still out, at least the soldiers are no longer running away to Cameroon on “tactical manoeuvre” or complaining about embezzled allowances. For once, there is sustained seriousness in the war on terror. Yes, Buhari has laid down the marker in his anti-graft war, even if it is not all-encompassing. At least, there is some activity on that front. We could use a more comprehensive strategy that includes moral suasion as well as institutional and administrative reforms, in addition to enforcement. Something is happening all the same.

But I worry about Buhari’s speed and economic philosophy. I admit that he met enormous challenges on ground. Only a magician would have killed all the cockroaches, mosquitoes and rats within 10 months. The PDP brigade, still hurting from their humiliation in the general election, are trying to force the issue, trying to brand Buhari as a failure already — yet their party had 16 whole years to address power shortage, dependence on fuel imports, infrastructural decay, comatose healthcare and stunted education. They wasted a golden opportunity. They are certainly not in a good position to describe Buhari as a failure before his first anniversary in office.

Nevertheless, I am very disturbed that Buhari does not yet have an economic direction. Neither is there an anchor. There is no clarity. What we are getting are mixed messages, bits and pieces here and there. I am hearing sweet statements and poetic promises, a lot of rhymes and alliterations, from APC leaders and ministers. There is no proper articulation so that we can have an idea of where we are headed. There are so many dots that are not connecting. I have this impression everybody is just doing their own thing without any overarching strategy to connect these dots. I can’t see coherence. I can’t see a roadmap. I can’t see what to hold on to.

Agreed, Buhari is not an economist. But you don’t have to be an economist to lead a nation to prosperity. All you need is a damn good economic team worth its onions. The team must have an anchor. We are neck-deep in an economic crisis and this requires emergency reaction. Even though Buhari is a strong character who stands by what he believes in, there must also be some flexibility. Economic crises are better tackled with a combination of antidotes. It is good that Buhari is a patriot and an honest man. It is good that Buhari means well. But meaning well does not solve these problems. He must also do well. The economy is in limbo, let’s be honest about it.

Mr. President, it’s time to wake up and smell the coffee. We need to see your development blueprint. We want to understand your policies, programmes and strategies. We want to see the goals and the goalposts. Your party says one thing today, you say another tomorrow. That you met a mess on ground is the same reason the majority of voters chose you. If they wanted the mess to continue, they would have maintained the status quo. And while we cannot expect you to clear the mess in 10 months, we need a mental picture of where you are taking us. I have no doubt that you can turn out to be the best Nigerian president ever, but where is the beef?

Liars!!!!!!!
First of all, look at the requirements for handing out the loans. There is no guarantee that these "YOUTHS" will actually start businesses and empower the economy. So basically, what Buhari is doing is simply handing out money to people with NYSC certificates (Forgeable) and University degrees (Forgeable).
Second, who classifies as 'YOUTH'. Because in Nigeria the 65 years old Alhajis still consider themselves youth without wrinkles.
So he has given no reasonable criteria to ensure legitimate people have access to this money, he has ensured that if they don't want to they won't pay back, he has also ensured that they will be untraceable and finally he has mystified the entire scam by using the word "Youth".
We are the youths and we do not want it. That money should go into research and production of a clean energy supply for Africa. That in itself will empower the youth.

If we cannot grow grass then we do not eat cows. We cannot live above our means. Nigerians need to begin to learn this. When we can grow grass we begin eating meat again. #StopGrassImport
