Dat SUG na goat o

I am shocked you are even a University student with such an unintelligent comment...

These are some of the issues to be handled by the incoming Minister of Finance... The way students are exploited in the name of providing education, which is not even quality, is alarming... University authorities steal money from students 'under false pretenses', which is 419... I also hope we get a good Attorney-General who will make sure our existing criminal laws are enforced to the letter...

Students should continue questioning and challenging such acts of exploitation, and make sure the spread it through all avenues of social media...

Another way the jonathan govt rewarded their thugs .i was here when sure p came.am still here they are closing shop.
Jonathan said the subsidy money saved will be REINVESTED.Thats SURE.P
Am yet to see where the money was reinvested.

The money was reinvested, google it... There is evidence to show that Sure-P completed various uncompleted projects... Whether the efficiently utilized the monies allocated to them is another issue...

I know we are unhappy with the GEJ administration, but we dont have to throw away the baby with the dirty bath water...

These people want to rake in as much as possible before May 29 when it shall be more difficult to extort Nigerians and their desperation has now made someone a widow, some people became orphans and many friends, relatives, co-workers and others will have their own share of problems they did not create.
Is it a curse that Policemen must extort?

It wont be easy for Buhari to stop corruption by police... It is part of their DNA now... Dont expect magic after May 29...

Good example of the kind of licences being given to companies by regulators in Nigeria... How can a company be allowed to charge any amount without recourse to a regulator

Buonsenso:
this man just is easy going. he seems relieved to me, that the pressures of Nigeria are been lifted off him. i just hope, his better half is taking things easy as well. if each time, we lose elections in Nigeria people are this laid back and accept the will of the people, Nigeria will have begun its democratic journey.

Couldnt have said it any better than this...

Keneking:
Under Buhari's government, whatever that has gone up would come down...

All promotions that were hurriedly packaged would be hurriedly demoted...
All pump prices that have gone up would be brought down...
All those that have victimised their opponents to emerge Tops would be reversed.

I doubt it... If his focus is on firing immediately he comes in, then he will surely fail...

The occupant of a position should not be his problem... His concern should be whether that person is doing their job well, and delivering... If the person cannot deliver, then you fire, simple...

This tyrant will not stop embarrassing himself.

Which tyrant is embarrassing himself??

If the Federal Government pays salaries or contractors, we go talk say na because GMB is the President-elect... If Federal Government does nothing, we go talk say na because they are chopping budgetary allocation...

Na waaooooo for Nigerians...

Will the return the monies

If not, they are stealing...

Am i the only one noticing that all the kids have big kwashiokor-like stomachs...

Maybe my compura is not working well...

Rilwayne001:
A former militant leader in the Niger Delta, Ebikabowei Victor Ben, a.k.a General Boyloaf, speaks to PREMIUM TIMES’ Aderonke Ogunleye about the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, and the incoming Muhammadu Buhari government. Boyloaf says the oil rich Niger Delta did not benefit from the Jonathan Presidency. He pledges to work with Mr. Buhari, and explains why former militants in the region did not carry out their threats to go to war if Mr.Jonathan lost the March 28 presidential election.

Premium Times : How will the Niger Delta receive Jonathan now that he is coming back home?

Boyloaf: To me, as a matter of fact Jonathan disappointed us. That is my own opinion. He disappointed us. To me, he disappointed us. He might be good to some people. There is nothing to tell if you get to my own state. We didn’t benefit. People like us did not benefit from his government. His government focused on one side. The Bayelsans did not benefit. It is only the Arugbos - that is Ondo State and Delta State - that benefited from his government. So, someone like me will not welcome him. I will not welcome him at all. The struggle continues.

I think he is just mad that after May 28, he will not be allowed in Villa for any reason... In fact Abuja might even be a no-go area for him...

Na waooooo. Comment still Loading..........................

Lovely...

brixton:
To b frank, I can't wait for this new govt to start!! I have been hearing the word change and have never seen it played out but come May 30th, 2015 we will have empirical evidence of CHANGE!

babaonechance.

Real empirical evidence... LoL!!!

Change will occur and be sustained with the support of all Nigerians, so you have to play your own role...

Na waaooooo....

Na by force to have a beard...

When you are a citizen, you can believe that you can do wonders, but when you are given info and the reality hits, thats when you know that magic is not possible in fixing a lot of Nigeria's problems...

That is why when politicians are shouting about doing this and that, I laugh because it shows that they dont know Nigeria's problems...

Thank God he is confident enough to accept that he is nervous, at least he is being honest...

Now time for him to start being honest with everyone, including his financiers and party members... His administration is not to reward people, like PDP, for being in the opposition and bringing down PDP, rather it is to rebuild Nigeria for a better future...

Facebook is not the place to do this... I feel his pain, but wrong medium...

We are too much...

So wetin be our reward

Trailblazer1:
Former Minister of Education, Oby Ezekwesili has defended her claim that there is no empirical evidence that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo is corrupt.

It will be recalled that Ezekwesili during an interview on Al Jazeera, said that there was no evidence of corruption in the former President’s regime despite reports to the contrary.

“There was no way it could have been more corrupt that the government of Abacha. I am sorry,” she said speaking of Obasanjo’s regime, where she served as a Minister.

When asked about a Wikileaks report which quoted former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu as saying that everyone was a thief in Obasanjo’s government, Mrs Ezekwesili said:

“The next person you should invite to your show should be Nuhu Ribadu. Its not about rejecting his views. I don’t have counter-factory evidence on the basis to reject it”

When asked about her opinion on how corrupt Obasanjo was, she said:

“Is that supposed to be a question on the basis of some factual thing that you are putting before me? My sense of President Obasanjo was that he gave me the freedom to define the work that I did that public procurement was more transparent than it used to be.”

She has taken to her Twitter page to defend her stance, insisting there is no empirical evidence that Obasanjo is corrupt.

Now she wants empirical evidence because she is involved... SMH!!!!!

When you throw stones, make sure you dont live in a glass house...

boujaye:
As far as am concern, the senate has not lived up to expectation. VAPP Bill is not the very important bill Nigerians want to hear, what about the Petroleum Industrial Bill (PIB) that has been lingering since 2007? Why are they shying away from passing the bill, is it not because the cabals continued to influence and frustrate the PIB knowing fully well that their oil scam biz will be blocked?

#GiveUsPIB#

This will be the test for the incoming NASS, to see whether there is really change, or business as usual...

Gr8amechi:
AFTER a 13-year sojourn in the National Assembly, the Violence Against Persons’ Prohibition, VAPP, Bill 2014, was finally passed yesterday by the Nigerian Senate.

It took the Senate exactly 22 minutes to pass all 46 clauses contained in the bill.

The approval gives legal teeth to enact a law to eliminate, or reduce to a minimum, cases of sexual, domestic and indeed all forms of gender-based violence in the country.

Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who took charge of proceedings for at the day’s plenary, described the passage as “an achievement.”
His words: “It is the primary responsibility of the executive to protect the lives and property of its citizens, especially against violence, while ours (the legislature) is to enact laws to support such responsibility.”

A clause-to-clause consideration of the bil, which started on April 14, suffered initial hiccup following observations that Clause 1 of the bill had issues with the term of imprisonment for under-aged sexual offenders.



http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/05/senate-finally-passes-vapp-bill/

Some of these laws are duplications of existing laws... Creation of laws no be our problem... Our problem na execution and enforcement... There are too many laws in Nigeria...

Atiku is back in power? Is this good for Nigeria?

naptu2:
I wish I could replay Chief MKO Abiola's interview for you and you could hear him talk about why he disbanded Abiola Babes (How can the FA insist that you play a league match the day after you play a continental tie?). No single owner can effect the desired change unless that change comes from the FA.

I get your point, but it is a risk that is worth taking... He has lost billions of dollars in one day all because of the falling Naira, so losing N100m is a drop in the bucket... Dangote is the richest blackman in the world, so if he decides to own a team in Nigeria, you will see changes instantly in the league, and football in general...

They way millionaires in Nigeria compete in every measurement of wealth and success, e.g., to see who has the biggest houses, most expensive cars, biggest yachts, biggest jets, etc, other millionaires will follow him, and start competing to see whose team wins the most trophies, both domestic and international... Viewership will increase, merchandises will be sold worldwide, more players all over africa and the world will rush to Nigeria, etc... See as millionaires in Nigeria are all scrambling to get on Forbes List... It is good for Nigeria's economy, and can also be good for our football...

The administrators of football just dont know how to market our football, so the need external pressure...

arsetalks:
Listen, Business knows no sentiments. You want him to buy and sponsor a Nigeria team, what will that add to his coffer? Is there any Nigeria team worth more than 500 million naira? No one investor who is in the caliber of Dangote will invest in the Nigeria league until the NFF and the LMC gets serious with improving the fortunes of the league.

Supposing he buys Enyimba, brings in big name players, how will he recoup his investment? Which big player will want to play in a league with so poor stadias? With almost no TV appearance?

Let me ask you, if he buys Enyimba which to me is the biggest club in Nigeria ( forget the heroics of Kano Pillars last few years ), what profit will he be making from them? In what league will they compete? How much prize money will they be fighting for? How does it add to his prestige as a billionaire in dollar?

Until the league body gets serious nothing will be achieved. We have more quality players than SA but they get more money than us. It was easy for Ajax to invest in Ajax Cape Town for this sole reason. MARKETING.

Take a look at the nike sponsorship deal. Nigeria gets less than $6 million per year, lowly Chile gets $30m per year. Forget Chile's recent boom in world football, they are lowly compared to Nigeria in every aspect, we are merely a sleeping giant.

Think about it deeply. Chelsea were rubbish when Abramovich came in and they do not even have a stadium of their own but they had a brandable product. It was easy for Abramovich to pay crazy money to acquire players because he knows once Chelsea start competing regular in the champions league, he will make his money back. And just take a look at his investment pattern with Chelsea, is he still signing players for crazy amount? Chelsea even declared a profit of 7m pounds or there about last year I think. Can he do that in the Nigerian league? Why do you think MTN did not bother with Glo or you think they cannot beat Glo to the sponsorship right if they so want?

If you want him to dash money to the league, I can understand that. How much is prize money for CAF champions league winner? $1 million. Entrance into UEFA champions league fetches you close to $12 million, winning it from next season will fetch you close to $100 million with the new BT sport deal.

This is not sentiments, it is all about potentials of an untapped market... There is no money in the league because it is run by docile people without ideas, and teams are owned by another group of docile people with no interest in the growth of football in the country... If the likes of dangote, Otedola, Ovia, Elumelu, Otudeko etc buy clubs in Nigeria, they will influence the administration of the league because the are people that will demand for newer policies that will protect their interests and make money for them...

They will demand for more sponsors of the league, more opportunities to recoup their money through merchandising (which does not exist in Nigeria at all), their names will be used to boost the league as a battle of Nigeria's billionaires, they will participate in the negotiation of new deals for the league (TV, etc), and so many other changes which they will bring to the sector...

As long as State governments run the clubs, people will not see the potentials in the sector...
