izzou:
how many massive sack did you hear of yesterday?


Exagerrator

Its either you live in a bubble or in denial.
In the last 3months alone,we have heard the following:
First bank to sack over 1000 staff(this may)
Massive sack in Arik Air(april).
Feel free to google and udate your knowledge before coming on public dormain to showcase your ignorance,son.

But seriously,how can buhari,the supposed president of the whole nation be making this kind of unguarded and divisive comments in his state:

BUHARI:Speaking at the Emir of Katsina’s palace( ThisDay 10 May 2016)
“The way the Sahara (Desert) is advancing, with Boko Haram growing, and the number of people displaced and uncertainty over rainfall in a land where we fought a civil war leading to the deaths of about two million, for someone to just say he will chase us is not acceptable,” he said.

Who is the 'us'. He's apparently reffering to the call from the southerners to the fulani herdsmen to leave their states. He has that mentality of 'us against them' and not that of a true president.
Why won't it lead to agitations.

...And how many jobs did Buhari and APC promise to create in their one year in office?
Every day we hear of massive sack.

Did he say anything about the fulani herdsmen attacks?
No. Not a word. But from there,he's already commenting on the recent Niger delta agitations.

How many people did boko haram kill?
How many people did nnamdi kanu kill?
Point to ponder.

All the cowards who wouldn't dare write a thing when the fulanis were killing innocent souls,when Buhari was making lop sided appointments,when buhari was granting amnesty to boko haram,when buhari was tacitly supporting fulani massacres are all now coming out boldly to write against the niger delta. Isn't this eye service and hypocrisy. Am not an advocate of violence but if there's anyone to blame for this,its buhari who sees himself as a fulani president.
Sometimes I ask God that rather than let that man divide this nation and create civil war,let the man die before it gets to that point. I have never seen the nation divided on religious and tribal lines like this.

Shouldn't EFCC be tracing such fund's sources?
Oh,they are APC,they are free to go.
Meanwhile,atiku should hold on a bit,let aregbesola,ambode and co raise some allocation. Once their state's allocation improve,he will get his money

I knew that buhari's divisiveness and stubborn refusal to integrate every part of the nation will definetly lead to regional agitations and ethnic militias which incidentally is the cause of civil wars and national distintegration.
So kudos to buhari for his stubborness.

A bill that seeks to transfer a sizeable portion of the nation's allocation to an agency that would see some politicians from the north east receive billions in the name of rehabilitating and reconstructing north-east.
Atiku had already held a meeting with legislators from the north east on the how to control to the wealth that will be controlled by this agency.
Aisha too may be lining up her own interested firms to receive her own billions in the name of contracts from the NEDC.
They are already washing their hands to eat up this new coming 'national cake'.
But why would they be thinking of setting up a a commission to rebuild and reconstruct damages done by bokoharam when the terrorists themselves have not been done away with. Which contractors would send in their staff to those towns to rebuild projects?

APC govt is clueless on how to overcome the present challenges facing this nation.
Its as if they were more interested in taking power than confronting the issues of governance.
From one end of the nation to another,its the same tale of hopelessness and helplessness with the leaders clueless on what to do.

I have never seen a president who is unapologetically a tribalist and promotes division within the nation like buhari,from his appointments to his utterances.
He is going to lead to the eventual division of this nation.
A doctor working around the north central region recently told me that most times fulanis come into their clinics for treatment and will refuse to pay,directing that they(the hospital mgt) should know that they are now in charge and won't pay.
All this because they have clearly seen that buhari is in full support of ther nefarious activities.
The illiterate northern governors turned a blind eye all thru the killings only to arise to issue a useless communique when the south ordered the fulanis out of their dormain.

Sex is a covenant. Once you did that act,you have entered a covenant bound by exchange of fluids. That's why no matter how you try,you always go back in.
Hence,you can only come out by the help of a higher spiritual force and that is Jesus Christ. So I recommend you find a true minister of God called in the area of deliverance from powers of darkness(not just any pastor) to guide and assist you break the hold of this covenant.
God will help you.

They should give way so that Nigeria will remember those that have not been 'remembered' at all

APC fans and supporters will never attack the point. When faced with a message,they leave it to lash out at the messenger.
Sometimes I wonder if our youths are incapable of objective and rational thinking devoid of fallacies.
Whether it is reno omokiri or omokiri reno,why don't they just look beyond him and check if he said the truth or not.
I can't understand why you will be called a zombie(devoid of independent reasoning) and you will be acting like one.

APC was built on lies and propaganda,so nothing new here

Aboki will be aboki

Why are state governors always the biggest impediment to democracy in nigeria? Why can't there be a proper election by inec(not siec) to fill the LGA's with chairmen and councillors? For God's sake,the LGA is supposed to be 3rd tier of govt. How would a state love it if the president starts appointing caretaker governors or transition governors to run the affairs of the states?
Is there any state in nigeria today where a proper election was held at the LGA level with opposition winning some few seats? None!
Where elections are held,the governor sits in his home and drafts a list of winners which his appointed SIEC boss would go announce.

This is a govt that will ban the importation of food but commence the importation of grass for cows.
Dear God,how did we get this kind of president?

Is it like the satan you guys go to stone in kaaba that leaves many dead all the time. Talk of going to stone the devil and he turns and stones many to death.

If sacking all the fulanis from the south is the criteria to make the north go their way,then I will encourage everybody from the south and middle belt to sack them from their states. Let's see if they have what it takes to go their separate ways.
Now the useless governors are issuing communiques,but were silent when their people were sacking communities,kidnapping royal fathers and leaders and killing unarmed people.
Very typical of them.
I just wish that the southern governors can meet and issue a communique too ordering the northern leaders to caution their people or face the consequences.

Fulanis have been going round the nation killing and causing mayhem. Has any northern governor of paedeophilic emir or useless sultan addressing or calling their people to order

His cabinet doesn't need reshufling,it needs total overhaul. With the exception of a few,the rest are mere politicians devoid of the needed input to turn their ministries and the nation around

Buhari inherited an exchange rate of N202 to a dollar at d parallel market and in less than 1year,its now dangling at N320 after an alltime high of over N400.
And sadly,there are no verifiable fiscal,monetary or forex policies being executed to bring this down.
By the way,didn't this man promise to make a dollar equal to a naira if elected. Is this the leg nama will use to get to umuahia?

Oluwapresley:
never have we had the price of crude oil so low..

Actually,we have. Under Abacha,the price of crude was far less but he was able to sustain the naira at N22 to a dollar.
Buhari inherited about 30bn from GEJ. Obj got only 3bn from the military when he took over.
The trick of this govt is to deceive people into believing that their inefficiency is as a result of 'natural forces' outside their control but if you are a good student of history,you will realize that some other past govts had it worse but yet still performed far better.
Simply put,this govt is ineffecient and incompetent

…Says everything has collapsed in Nigeria

By Willy Eya

Former Governor of Anambra State, Dr Chukwuemeka Ezeife is worried over developments in the country since President Muhammadu Buhari took over power on May 29, last year. In this interview, he speaks on the dwindling fortunes of the nation and the need for the president to have an inclusive administration. Excerpts:

What do you think are the likely gains of President Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to China?

Sometimes, you may hit the jackpot, sometimes, it is illusory but I am hoping that the China trip has been very successful. From what I have read, there is an achievement firstly from funding and I know that China has been funding Nigeria. And they fund in large figures. Then, there is the policy aspect. We shall now be doing direct transaction with China in their currency and not any more passing through the United States dollars.

The consequence of that is not very easy to measure. But it is something good since international currencies are connected. The Yuan like the dollar has international value. When it looks good, we must say so. It looks like our relationship with China has been very useful because there are some loans that are for infrastructure and I hope it would stand the test of time. China has some loans meant for infrastructure, railway, power and China is a model to copy because we are still developing. China has developed a model that those who want to develop must copy. But we have to wait and pray that our relationship with China would be fruitful. It is not something for the opposition to condemn or for supporters to be celebrating about. China is very astute. They are very wise and they do not give away things for nothing. Any bargain they enter, they make sure they gain from it.

At the level of international relations, they say there is no free lunch and that any relationship we enter with China would not be to our benefit. Do you agree with that?

What we need to do is to be aware of the potential for damage but it is possible to guard against negative consequences. Nobody and not even the president can say I have got it. What we need is cautious optimism and hoping and praying that it works out in our favour. If you are playing draught with somebody who is really good, you may feel you are winning but before you knew it, you are finished.

What are your reflections on the state of the economy today especially in view of the lack of fuel and almost zero power supply?

I do not talk much now because there is nothing to talk about. The state of the economy is a comprehensive failure. There is no power, no petrol and in some places, there is no water. Never have we had it so bad. In all the life of Nigeria, it has never been this bad. This is not a matter of criticizing the government. Everybody including supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) agree that things are bad. The President does not seem to have some conscience by doing certain things against some people. He does it without thinking back as if there are some people that should be suppressed and some people who are above the law.

Let me tell you what is happening now. Now, I am in Awka where young students decided to launch a book on the vision of our heroes past. They decided to use Odumegwu Ojukwu’s name in the launching. Some boys ago met me to play a role in the launching after I went to the University of Calabar to attend a very beautiful conference where Maitama Sule, Ken Nnamani, Ibrahim Mantu and others were in attendance. The same students organized something at the Women Development Centre, Awka. But as I arrived Awka at night, I started hearing that the Department of State Service (DSS) was discouraging the event in Awka. Already, the students had paid the money for using the Women Development Centre. When I arrived at Night, I went straight to the governor, Dr Willie Obiano but the governor was not in town.

I was only able to get through to the Chief of Staff and I asked him why some people would be treated this way; why the president continues to treat the South East as if he wants them to leave Nigeria, I do not know. Some of us are forced to ask that question. Nigeria is not Buhari and Buhari is not Nigeria. I went to the state commissioner of Police in Anambra and discussed the issue with him and of course, it was not his business but it is part of it because if there is violence, he would be involved in controlling it. But there can be no violence because the people are so peaceful; nobody was carrying gun or weapon and there was nothing in the launching that is against the government.

I went to look for the state Director of SSS but I could not find him that night. I met some small, younger officers but the Anambra Police commissioner was kind enough to send me the telephone number of the state Director of SSS whom I talked to. I explained all the circumstances and how peaceful everything was and I discovered that I was one of the problems. Those who talked to the young boys told them that they did not like me and Pat Utomi playing a role in the launching. I called the Director of SSS and he told me that the directive was from Abuja, that it was a directive from above and there was nothing he could do. He said that I should talk to the DSS in Abuja and I knew that they all travelled with the president. I tried to reach the operating officer and his telephone would ring and he would not answer. This is what is called humiliation in a very dehumanizing way.

If the launching was in praise of Ojukwu, what could be wrong in praising him in Anambra State. This is what I am talking about. You would look at the situation and you wonder that people who have no business of carrying AK-47, carry the weapons and saying that they are taking care of cattles. And the DSS told a lie against Abia State, a lie that could cause ethnic crisis in the country. There is no investigation on that. They did not go to the police; they just went out and accused the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB). Five people were involved in the kidnapping and two Igbos were involved and they said IPOB buried people. I do not know what is happening. We should not talk with bitterness too much. It is now time to plead with Buhari and his own people who support him(they are not supporting him now anyway) to give Nigeria a chance. When you have a piece of broom in your hands, you may not appreciate it until you throw it away. Nigeria is so blessed and there is no going anywhere for anybody in this nation. Justice can be done and why can’t justice be done. Who is losing? Every section of Nigeria prays for one Nigeria.

Nigeria would work if you respect equity and justice. This is a very serious matter and it is ongoing. Do you know that even the person who wrote the book I am talking about was invited by the SSS. This show of hatred shows that you despise a people. It is a show of not caring, and saying you could go to hell. But pushing the South East out of Nigeria would not work. God would take care because there is God in heaven.

Now, there is no way Buhari would look at Nigeria and say he is doing well when people are suffering everywhere. I heard that a Fulani person killed another Fulani person for praising Buhari. Everybody is suffering in the country today and he must now listen. The worst mistake he made is appointing only his own people and he is still favouring them up till today. I believe that the failure of Buhari has been so grotesque, and so multi-dimensional that he should say to people, give me ideas. He should ask how do I leave Nigeria better than I met it. How do I stop this system that some people think I am dehumanizing them.

How do I stop this apparent preference for the Fulani without control? How do I deal with the issue of the economy? How do I appeal to everybody like he said during his inauguration that ‘I belong to nobody and I belong to everybody’. And I started performing as if I belong to Daura and not even Katsina, the state he comes from and saying other people should go to hell. I think that things would change and I tell you, when things change, if Buhari listens to people, he would have a good time. This is because if in six months, things become very rosy, all the sufferings of the past would be forgotten. What he should do is to listen to those who would tell him the truth. Imagine that somebody had the guts to ask Kachikwu of the NNPC to resign. He is one of the best brains that Nigeria has ever produced. Not everybody has a conscience. Some people could talk anyway he likes. My major worry is that the nation’s economy is going down the drain. One more thing I have to say is that Buhari has threatened the people of the South South who have been tampering with oil facilities that he would treat them like Boko Haram. Let me through you appeal to the people of the Niger Delta to cool off. What Buhari said he would do, he would do more than that. This is because the Niger Deltans are not among the preferred people. That statement by Buhari, I want the Niger Delta people to heed it and not go further because to destroy is very easy.

But the unfortunate thing is that the economy has crashed. Your naira crashed to N400 to one dollar. Your stock market has fallen woefully. Every indicator of economic growth is in the abyss. The economy collapsed in a short time from what it was when the president took over. But the issue is, out of love for Nigeria, I can give the president some ideas in areas where I have competence. This is because this is our country. We are praying for Buhari but the way things are in Nigeria today, I can only say that ‘God dey’.

I remember in 2004,I was walking with this girl in my platoon. She tripped and nearly fell but I was able to save her.
I was like: 'Babe,I've not even started dropping my lyrics and you're already tripping for me,by the time I start,you'll definetly fall for me'.
She giggled but was really glad that I was able to turn what ought to have been embarrassing for her into a witty one.
The ability to create apt and witty jokes and responses in almost any situation then is one of the things my wife confessed that knocked her off her feet back then

By the time apc finish with this country,many more will go mad while the others will commit suicide
