₦airaland Forum

yeye she-goat.

Governor of the state of Osun, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, on Tuesday urged Nigerians to use their vote to remove leaders who always offered excuses for their failure to deliver dividends of democracy.



He spoke in Abuja while delivering a lecture at the Good Governance Forum organized by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission.

The ICPC chair, Ekpo Nta, said the forum was for governors, professionals and public officials “who are adjudged to have impacted meaningfully on the lives of Nigerians”.

Speaking on the title, “Governance, Accountability and Transformation”, Aregbesola said with education reforms and good policies, “Nigeria can achieve more success than the Asian Tigers and the newly industrialised countries of South America”.

According to him, [size=15pt]government has no meaning if it does not translate to welfare of the people, their security and improvement in their conditions of living and beautiful things they aspire to have.

[size=15pt]“If Aregbesola can no longer run the free education programme he inherited from the PDP government for about eight years with almost 80 percent passing rates in external examinations, he should not shy away from declaring a state of emergency in Education in the state,” [/size]

LastProphet:
so $50,000 and $170,000 is all you can tie to Buhari? A former head of state? I know people that were in primary school when GMB was president that can dash a harlot that amount. So that is your 'GREAT' discovery? Unfortunately GMB is fighting for poor people like you and most poor Ibos like you are busy fighting for GEJ and PDP that made you poor. What a pity your life must be

Kini ele yin so lenu ...

[quote author=PassingShot post=36562884][s]When will you stop displaying ignorance?

What secret of Buhari is there that OBJ couldn't use against him in 2003 when he contested against him? Or in 2007 when PMB went toe to toe against Yar'Adua who was OBJ's anointed candidate?[/[/s]quote]

Another vision

The former president (GEJ) was reported to have already started compiling a report which included documents linking President Buhari and key assistants and colleagues in his government to major fraud connected to different affairs of the administration, when he received President Buhari’s “esprit de corps” plea for a general understanding and restraint.

All Nigerians are corrupt...?


Sorry, all the politicians, including "BUBU"

...When they were in PDP they were all thieves, when they dumped PDP for APC they became saints.....


Now, they disobeyed, they are thieves....... APC days are ticking!

You see...

PvtParts:
The market can generate forex by simply exporting more than it imports.

And the revenue flows through the banking system...

This has nothing to do with DOM account deposit within the country.

PvtParts:
The honest truth is that rather than let the market sort itself out and look for other ways to generate forex as well as cut down on unnecessary imports, the Buhari administration is only interested in artificially manipulating the forex market in order to score cheaply with an artificially increase in the value of the Naira.

Manufacturers have cut down production to 50% due to high cost of forex and this is due largely to the fact that they ( manufacturers) know that the average Nigerian can not bear the cost in increase in production cost which is tied to crucial import inputs tied to the dollar.

If you ask me, I will simply let market forces determine the true value of the naira, impose high tariffs on imported finished goods and outright ban of unnecessary imports like toothpicks which was the line towed by the current CBN. What I do know is that the CBN is bowing to pressure to artificially increase the value of the Naira in order to make Buhari look good for his Plebian electorates.

This is where cheapskate politicking collides head on with sound economic policies.

If Emefile can not work as a technocrat then I suggest he resigns honorably rather than destroy the autonomy the CBN has garnered since 1999.

I share your feelings, but what other ways would the market generate FX when they don't trade in FX? Is it from our criminal politicians who have stockpile dollars?

I admit that Emefie is attempting manual manipulation for short term Naira appreciation to keep his portfolio.

However, we all need to objectively address our lingering and continuous Naira value depreciation.

arm4u:
I have a vendor to pay in Denmark.
I cannot pay them in Naira bro.

Take it easy and stop being emotional.
This policy will hurt and haunt the economy.

I do international trading...

In as much I have not review the recent CBN/Bank policies on DOM Accounts transaction restrictions, their are clear routes to pay your international partners.

Open a Form M with your bank, get a Bill of Collection, approach your bank for USD, if your transaction is not part of the items on CBN restriction you will surely get FX to settle your bills either through the CBN intervention window which is lower than 198 or through the inter-bank/parallel market in the range of 200 per USD.

Your bank will charge your Naira account for the USD equivalent.

PvtParts:
How about all thos ab0kis trading forex illegally without a liscence?

When is Buhari going to tighten the noose on the parallel market?

I am no Buhari fan.

However, CBN fiscal policies needs to be re-address...

philips70:
As long as you got my message this one is inconsequential.

Respect yourself!

APC is a criminal party.

I hope they will not assassinate this woman ?

arm4u:
PDP is very right.
Only kids and those who wait for monthly handouts will jubilate over the madness of Buhari and his CBN.

They are choking life out of international business.

Let me educate you folks.


We have a service which we procure from overseas,
we have a client in Nigeria who needs the service;

We pay our vendor in Dollars, so our client has to pays us in Dollars.

The business is transacted in dollars, We am not thieves.
We have nothing to do with oil let alone oil money.
We are not laundering any money for any body.

The policy has barred our client from paying using dollars.
Yet, We must pay our vendor in dollars.
Those of you who are haling it should explain to us how we can continue our business.

This archaic and myopic policy will simply snuff life out of our genuine efforts.

It is like banning cars because armed robbers use it to operate.

You can force Naira to improve in value, but you cannot force the economy to grow,


Well, am I surprised?
Didnt Buhari jail Fela for coming into Nigeria with Dollars he earned from handwork.

Do I blame Buhari?
Has he ventured into any business?
What does he know about money?
Did he not despise the business men when he visited the US?
Like somebody said, we have a celebrated illiterate as President.


Al I can say is, shame.

Is your company domiciled in Nigeria ?

If yes? You are not allowed to transact in any other currency than Naira on Nigeria soil.

We are still studying the response of Olisha Menthu and PDP vis a vis the CBN restrictions.

philips70:
Behave yourself. You have been matured here. There are two things here; it's either they want her to present her strong evidence against Aregbe or they have a fraud case against her in the matter. Please let this sink into you, the EFCC at the moment is not working for anybody. The president has not even looked at their side yet.

And who are you to tell me how to behave

Orisirisi.

clefstone:
GEJ our leader!

The hero of Nigeria democracy!

saintgp:
I was thinking some people alleged dat ex.president gej political carrier was dead immediately after he lose d election nd conceded defeat.how come he's been playing a very significant role both in his party,region and nation at large.

Indeed,his knacks/kind of person has made me come to believe dat its nt by ranting from one media house to d order by being able to use ur i.q....imagine holding b.o.t meeting in his home town instead of abuja or state party secretariat.
Tomorrow some people dat cnt even achieve one-quarter of wat he has achieved will b tagging him"clueless"....quite alarming

Almighty God will continue to bless Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan.

The Best Nigeria president so far...

Good move

Proudly a supporter of GEJ

Why is the mother not beside the man?

I see nothing wrong in fathers backing their babies, but in this case I sense danger for this child considering the covering of the head sef.

APC don start this week with another lie...

PassingShot:
No problems. The cabinet will be on board by next month. By September when the cabinet is formed, most of the mess left behind by PDP in the ministeries will have been discovered. This will enable better and cleaner take off by the ministers.

Baba is a good strategist.

My signature.

CHANGE!

stepo707:
Smart judge.tey migt want to threaten her so she could withdraw the petition

Already... APC is deadly!

APC don start...

I reserve my comment for now.

Good news today. God bless our gallant soldiers...

Time to start arresting the sponsors.

PMB, use your authority, arrest the collaborators NOW!

Death to the enemies of Nigeria!

Buhari is losing credibility already.

rozayx5:



we are winning the war - Buhari

his slaves wont see the real tasks at hand. they are clinging onto refinery and nepa light

nonsense

Where is Alhaji Lie Mohammed and the brainless e-supporters

Nigerians are been killed every day and all they could do it to glorify "Baba Go Slow"

RIP to the dead!

Buhari please come back from your fruitless honeymoon.

Buhari please don't wait till December

Buhari you are now the president, act like you promised

Buhari any further delay is costly and deadly.

Over 1000 dead since you took over, is this the CHANGE you and your party promised?

May the Lord help Nigeria and guide our leaders right.

RIP to the dead!

mandax:
There are more fanatics in Nigeria than realists. Even if PMB does nothing to improve Nigeria in four years, fanatic ethno-religious bigots shall still thumb up for Buhari and call Goodluck Jonathan clueless.

I pity the brainless followers...
