Rubbish

Is it a must to give gift?

Since the person added money in the box, what just stopped him/her from just putting the money in an envelope and give the couple?

Useless mentality of carrying a big wrapped present to the wedding.

Communication is key

Doing fun things together like time out together, going swimming together, clubbing once in a while together, etc

What is this world turning to

I hope that useless alfa gets caught and confessions about his accomplices gotten before sending him to join his maker

Won't be surprised if it's scammers. Probably seeking support from well meaning organizations to help the cancer victim and thereby pocketing it.

My feelers tell me it's a Nigerian that is behind this..

Why can't any of these current public office holders tackle issues without playing the blame game

Now the 'tremendous success' being recorded by this present administration, is with which arms?

Or is he unaware that the present administration is yet to procure egg shell, let alone a bullet.

Bloody incompetent peeps, politicizing everything. Don't know why these guys keep playing opposition up till now

Making sense though

Power drunk politicians.. Now they have the power and they are changing promises.

Promise of change has indeed become change of promise

No no no.. Mr president!

Agreed, there was gross misappropriation of funds in the last administration but don't you all get tired of the blame game You should be focused on putting the country back on the right track and not always running to BBC Hausa to give excuses for your lack of solutions to the enormous issues on ground.

As a General in the Nigerian Army, one would expect you to know better about mutiny and a question begs for an answer.. Which weapons are currently being used to 'win' the war against this barbaric insurgents

I'm in odutayo, surulere lagos and the light situation is appalling. Can't boast of 8hrs light daily and this on period between 11pm - 5am, then few blinks at times during the day.

Good one. Nice!

stevecantrell:
You talking about how calm he is...he will soon be calmly lying in state, in a casket !

funny you

With the way OP said he is far bigger than her in size, I must say I laud his cool cos it ain't a common virtue.

Thank God he is not calmly lying in a casket but I think not getting physical with his wife was the best thing to do.

What a sensible response

I'm already sick and tired of the way these APC goons are using the media to play on the emotions of gullible Nigerians in every issue.

Why not wait till after the conclusion of the case before making such inciting statement?

Irresponsible lawyer >:

waley007:
Right now am so confused about her and she doesn't even make me trust her again.I love her and I don't want to loose her but she's driving me really crazy.

[b]

You've said it yourself, you're crazy in love. Why not 'uncraze' yourself and see things clearly as they are?

You're not yet married and she's exhibiting such traits? Expect more of this and that her friend to become the MD/CEO of her life if you decide to continue the relationship.

Op, you would have made sense if you were subtle in your approach to the matter. Remember it's the love of God that brings men unto repentance not His wrath.

Moreover, the way forward for those that have erred should be your focus not all this your judgemental rantings.

Then a piece of advice for those that will refuse to change, stating the consequences for continuing in such unwholesome act. With this approach, you'd be making sense

Where is your source?
Misleading topic

Wow.. I admire your resilience Sir. You have proven that some males still act as men by keeping your cool even at the most provocative and life threatening circumstances.

However, don't you have an elastic limit to all this? It beats my imagination that after all you've narrated, you're still seeking advice. So, if left, you will still continue with that woman you call your wife? Obviously, that native doctor has got some potent stuff.

I sincerely feel for you and would advise you separate from your wife first, then prayerfully tackle the issue before finally dissolving this made in hell union, taking your daughter with you.

I trust God you'll bounce back, even surpassing your previous status and with how calm you've been in all this, you'll surely find someone who will appreciate you and take care of your daughter.

First things first, please quit co-habiting with that woman. All the best sir.

There is actually no problem with borrowing. The major problem is what you end up doing with the borrowed funds.

If the fund is meant to finance capital expenditure which will aid our cash inflows in the future then there is a good justification for it.

If well used the borrowed may be able to pay itself back. It smacks of mischief when the likes of FFK criticize this budget without criticizing PDP senators like Ben Bruce who had encouraged PMB, after the release of the MTEF, to borrow a substantial amount to jumpstart the revival of infrastructures instead of borrowing piecemeal.

Politics aside, well said. Hope the borrowed funds will be judiciously utilized and there will good justification for it.

babosky2008:
only the ipob would see a sense in ffk statement. I am not supprised that the drunking master is offering worthless advise n suggestions on how to move the nation 4ward. where was dz lunatic and opportunist when sambo dasuki stole billions in dollars and nairn? where was the sense of ffk when noi looted abacha funds? where was dz arrogant man when x nimasa md n tompolo converted national wealth and assets to their own? enough from dz Amugbo ile ife.

FFK couldn't have spoken then since he was part of the looters. Being in the opposition now, and being the hypocrite that he is, he has decided to speak up now.

Unless funds are judiciously utilized and our economy diversified, this government will be no different from the one where FFK and co converted national wealth and assets to their own.

irondome:
Are we referring to the same 2015 that most states struggled to pay minimum salary to workers? Other years (2007 to 2014) do not compare to the present as our earnings from crude oil was more than sufficient to support our budget.

Borrowing is welcome as long as the bulk of the money is channeled into infrastructural development.

Finally on Fani, he has no moral ground to speak on this matter as the previous governments were entirely pre-occupied with embezzlement. Nigerians would be happy we borrowed if the funds are judiciously utilized.

Let's hope the bulk of the money will be channelled into infrastructural development and diversifying our economy cos in the past, funds are not usually judiciously utilized.

WaffenSS:
Amen.

Amen sir

kennydee05:
That's the exact direction we are looking at, an that is well taken care of in the budget. We are diversifying and move from reliance on unpredictable price of crude oil.

Proper implementation of the budget is my main concern. I just hope it all works well cos solely relying on oil is what has put us in this economic stalemate.

WaffenSS:
Yes we do. Our main revenue stream, oil, has gone down.



Actually that's the period we even had our highest borrowings. We borrowed to fund recurrent consumption, we borrowed to pay salaries, we even borrowed ostensibly to fund the war against BH but ended up being largesse to PDP via Dasuki. And this borrowing was against a backdrop of rising oil revenues.




It was the organized labor and virtually every Nigerian that resisted subsidy removal, mostly because of the duplicity of FG and poor presentation of the deal. Also, subsidy was partially removed by GEJ and the savings seemingly ploughed back into Sure P, only to end up doing absolutely nothing and the funds vanishing into thin air.



Our main source of revenue is dwindling, our income-generating agencies are rife with corruption, our economic system is consumption based, our government structure is bloated and parasitic. Our civil service is vast and unproductive.

Tell me how we can sustain or even develop this system without funds. Where the only option is to borrow, shouldn't we, as long as the will is there to do the right thing?

Let's be optimistic about PMB's intentions. We all hope for a better Nigeria. But we won't get it if we all decide to be armchair cynics and critics hoping it all fails.

If he does fail, then by all means he shall bear our wrath. But until so, we owe Nigeria our hopes and prayers, because win or lose...it affects us all.

I agree with most of what you've stated out. I just hope there is a sincere will to do the right thing. Indeed we all hope for a better Nigeria and pray things work out well.

kennydee05:
As developed America is, they still borrow and they have huge debt.
Yaradua borrowed for good reason but Jonathan borrowed to finance Dasuki Spending spree. 2007-2015 borrowed money were squandered on selfish and personal motive and without transparency

Jonathan's issue is a discussion for another day.

America doesn't just rely on oil and as such has the means to service their debt. With dwindled oil prices, can same be said for us?

SLIDEwaxie:
did u read? Even though the title has misled a lot of fools, reading the article wld av saved u a face.

The guy didn't slam the president, He slammed the bad implementation if the budgetary system in nigeria

I read the article and I know he made the statement even before the president presented the budget to the joint NASS.

I just don't see how implementation of this budget will be different from previous ones.

WaffenSS:
Where's the truth?

He even indicted his own party when he said as at 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. Between 2007 and 2015 the country has accumulated a massive pile of debt.

Well, buhari just came on board and is yet to borrow a kobo.

All the borrowing was by GEJ.

The truth is we don't need more borrowing to improve the
economy and better the lives of ordinary people as evidenced between 2007 & 2015 and in truth, if the the crop of people that now constitute the FG had allowed fuel subsidy removal, we wouldn't have been deep into this economic mess as we are in now.

For me, it's not about political party or about whose regime we accumulated a massive pile of debt. All I'm interested in is what will be good for us collectively and I think yet more borrowing is not the way forward.

Na wa oo.. obviously trying to take advantage of the high dollar to naira exchange rate.

Nice one. A true hero of democracy indeed.

Very sad one. Don't even know how to approach the issue. I just pray this BH menace will soon become a thing of the past.

INTROVERT:
some lepa pipul will seat on two chairs... and put their bible and hymn book on the third.



lalasticlala

some people will even empty other baskets into theirs & kip others for their relatives at home.

I think once in awhile our churches should do this and not just dish out Bible promises.

DouchessPunkyII:
You're a commitmentphobe. You don't want a close relationship because it requires much more effort than your distant relationships. In a way, you're keeping a part of yourself to yourself, not completely vulnerable & exposed. Also, you could be the type that prefers fantasy over reality. When you're dating someone from afar, it gives you the chance to indulge in daydreaming & fantasy, the pining, etc. I think you've gotten addicted to the fantasy part, on top of being afraid of commitment or getting close to people in the flesh.

Case closed!

Although coming from a man known with much talking, there is an element of truth in what he's saying, laced with facts. Let's just be optimistic that our economy will be diversified and the budget will work.

Glad this is coming from an APC chieftain. Its not about trying to appeal to the emotions of the masses but about the feasibility and long term effect of such a proposed budget. Sadly majority of us are just interested in things working, not minding if the process to make it work is the right step in the right direction.
