This is surely the joke of the year, hahahaha.

bennygreat1:
And the government has released 2.7trillion naira so far into the economy
Yet........

Yes, released it into thin air.

This is serious. Everything just seems to be getting worse, who will help Nigeria out of her predicament at this rate?

Congrats OP.

Lady, this isn't a 'pdp vs apc' issue, this is rather a 'Nigeria vs them' issue and what I'm saying to you now has nothing to do with defending any particular govt. Yes we have to criticise but not everything is worthy of criticism, we mustn't just 'oppose' simply for the sake of it.

Try and inform yourself on the way things work out there, if the UK govt. is against a coal project in Nigeria, a private UK body cannot leave the UK to come invest in a coal project in Nigeria, this is simple logic; activities of companies are regulated by their governments.

I am familiar with the UK system, I know government can lobby and appeal to individuals (private investors) but they surely cannot force them on what or what not to do. Same UK where Sir Philip Green carried pension money of over £400 million and govt could do nothing about it, is that the kind of individual they will stop from investing wherever he chooses to do so. It is not a matter of logic, it is simply a matter of what obtains.

What then are we living for?? If not for money.

(Bible)
Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answers all things.

All things oby money, bible did not say something. He said all things.

People like you conveniently do not see verses like these in the same Bible

Jeremiah 5:
“Among my people are the wicked
who lie in wait like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps to catch people.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
they have become rich and powerful
28 and have grown fat and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.
29 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?

Continue misquoting the Bible up and down. I really just pity you. Continue.

berrystunn:
No vex, the Bible said, I will bless those whom I chose to bless. . That means is not every body

Bless = money
From your comments, I can see that is what it means. Very short-sighted approach. Talk about money when you have kids disgracing your name all about, talk about money when a person has cancer or life threatening ailments. Talk about money when even with all the money they can't get any sleep at night. That is when you will realize that God does not mean JUST MONEY when He talks about blessing His own.

Same God who mentions blessing also ranks justice and mercy to the poor very high on His list.

Rather than blame, what is the way forward?! Who can forward this to the concerned authorities? People will sit online and blame from now till thy kingdom come rather than take immediate action. We are really on a long thing in this country.

Bro,Nigerians need to stop all these blatant lies.PMB does not and never have a mission to islamize Nigeria, it can never be possible.Firstly, it against the constitution of FGN,his deputy is Christian and even a pastor,there are many Christian in his cabinet even the highest military officer nd other vital role in the present administration,the evidences are there.It is quite absurd to think of such action if he can't as a military man,why as a civilian president??Let stop all these hypocrisy, it is becoming irritating.

Even if he does, he cannot succeed in it.

engrflames:
Who excel don help? I have a friend with a lot of IT certification yet he's jobless, this is just favour in the making.
You shelf wetin you know?

Opportunity meets with preparation. The fact that one can meet with favour does not mean you should not develop yourself during the waiting phase of life.

OP, congrats on your new job. Give it your best, and keep your eyes open while you are there, build your network as well because you don't know which other opportunities may come up from this. Don't just work and go home, be aware of all that is happening around you.

Businesses are regulated by governments. If a UK company wants to build a plant in Nigeria, it must get approval from the uk govt. Nigeria struck a deal with a bank in China to finance our rail projects, the last time I checked, the final approval for that was discussed between buhari and the chinese president, so my dear, private businesses too are regulated. If the Uk govt says NO to coal plants, a UK private company cant come to Nigeria to build a coal plant, neither can a UK bank give Nigeria a loan to build a coal plant.

Once again, TSA money isnt disposable income that the government can just dip its hands into and spend.

Your info is completely wrong. There is a reason they are called PRIVATE investors.

Yes inedeed. TSA isn't disposable income because it either doesn't exist or has been looted out of existence.

Yes, Buhari had numerous discussions with the Chinese president yet we can see absolutely no outcome.

Anyway, you guys can continue defending a failing government. The consequences will be borne by all.

obailala:
Private investors rather than governments?... arent you aware the activities of those private investors are also regulated by their govts?

Besides, the recovered moneys (e.g. TSA) cant just be spent like that, it isn't disposable money. Then the recovered loots are insignificant compared to what nigeria needs.

Private investors are that - private. They are not regulated by their own government, besides obligation to pay their taxes.
TSA can't be spent "like that" - okay, what should it be spent on?

So much corruption in this country. It is sickening.

Na wa. No comment

propaganda by haters..... I was admitted during the daramola tenure and trust me, im enjoying it. He puts his best to see that we futarians get the best of everything . development in school is moving at a very fast rate. security is at its best, I can proudly say that since the day I was admitted till today(300 level).. I have never encountered or heard of cultists.so lets put this little matter asside. ...... I do know why people always look for the little bad you do, leaving all your good works.

This kind of attitude is the reason Nigeria is still finding it hard to progress. We keep putting "little matters aside" forgetting that little by little the country is being destroyed when people are not held to account.

That is why there are tenancy agreements, it should state who is responsible for what.

Obviously this kind of amenity is supposed to be provided by the government. This country sha, citizens will provide water, provide light, provide security, now fix their own roads and we say we've got a government?!

Hungerbad, you make it a point to comment first on political threads, why are you always found missing on these kind of threads? Really very convenient. Smh. You guys had better stop living in denial.

obailala:
A begger has no choice... whrn you run around begging people for money in form of free donations or even loans, then the people have a right to dictate to you what you do with the money they want to give to you. I'm sure you are aware Nigeria is frantically looking for where to get loans from?

But the government claims to be recovering monies left and right, TSA, looted funds, so why not use that?
Besides they could approach private investors rather than governments - but considering how they've wrecked the business environment I won't blame any private investor who holds back.

HungerBAD:
Good.

A prudent President.

In today's edition of let us test how intelligent the wailers are. We will give them the opportunity to bring some ideas forward on how this 2.6 Trillion can be used to develop Nigeria.

The people on Nairaland complaining about Buhari,share one thing in common. And that is any lack of objectivity.

It usually starts with one always ,who will lead the way with their childish taunts of how does this help the economy?then another will say,how does this take us out of recession?then you can tell the least intelligent ones among them,by the "It is a Propaganda" chant.

So,now is the opportunity for you Criers to show us how intelligent you guys are.

The Government has just realized 2.6 Trillion from the TSA,so the wailers should educate us on how the money can be used,in a way that it can make an impact in the Society.

This is becoming ridiculous. Since when did it become the citizen's responsibility to decide how the money will be used - do they have any INFLUENCE over that? Obviously not As if the govt still won't waste it the way they want. Same government is realizing billions yet claim the country is bankrupt. How come their figures never add up?

Did Western powers hold your hand and stop you from building? Do other countries "block" the hands of the Western powers from doing what they want. What kind of nonsense is all this? Can we please stop with the talks and get things done. The blame game is getting tiring!!

Visionless leaders.

Meanwhile ordinary ear infection, Buhari is on the next flight out of Nigeria. Shameful leaders we've got in this country.

INTROVERT:
AFTER READING ALL THE COMMENTS OF OUR 'FUTURE LEADERS', I BELEIVE NIGERIA WILL NEVER BE GREAT AGAIN AND WILL NEVER BE ONE EVER.

You can't assume those who comment on Nairaland are representative of everyone else. People who comment on nairaland are not up to 10% of the population, don't let's be quick to generalize using NL as a base.

sukkot just wants attention this morning

He hasn't gone halfway on his tenure he is writing book, meanwhile we can't point at any thing tangible he's achieved. Talk about misplaced priorities.

Saintp:
The best way to launder PMB's image positively is by getting positive results on the ground.
PMB should work on making positive impact that are clearly seen and felt in the country and beware of this image laundering washy washy books. when he has done that, then books about him will make sense.
who book epp?

You have said it all. Let his works speak for him.

HENRY940:

This is what Nairaland has turned to. Kudos to Seun and his team. More grease to your elbows.

I can't recommend it highly enough to any and everyone who is considering marriage! It's a big eye-opener.
OP, it is not how quick but how well. The race is not to the swift.

There are a number of things to consider - is accommodation provided, where will you stay during that period and how much will it cost? Is your friend willing to accommodate you, if accommodation is not inclusive? Will you be given a valid permit? How many hours per day is the expected work? I also assume he may want you to pay some set-up fees for visa etc.

One thing I will say is there is a way that seems right to a man, it does not necessarily mean that is the right way. Pray to God to guide you and follow your heart because as humans we can never see beyond our noses.
