I wonder why you will introduce a program that you know you can't sustain, the money spent on the unsustainable social welfare would have been spent on something tangible in osun...


The people of osun never begged for the welfare package in the first place, scrapping the program will be tantamount to deceit, since he campaigned with the so called welfare package...

I hope Buhari's administration learn from this...

I don't see him surviving this, some of our politicians need to be thought the loyalty lesson, you don't decamp a day to presidential elections and expect to go free...

BTW are the law makers just waking up Since he committed some sought of crime between 2009 - 2014, why is that its after is defection to the opposition they eventually found their voice to say anything about it...

This is tantamount to political witch hunt, well I wish Olanusi Goddluck...

I guess the APGA guy is confused, the same APGA that endorsed GEJ, so what does he want GMB to probe

Well I guess the APGA guy is stylishly telling Buhari to look his "side"...SMH

This post should be a valid reason why NCC should mandate the scrapping of free megabytes on recharge by network providers...

Another crappy thread...SMH

South Africans are bittered hateful miserable lazy people.
Mandela slept in prison for nothing.
These animals don't deserve freedom.
They are the real reason the whites call blacks "monkeys"
Even their stupíd president is in support of it and i don't
blame him when our own president just sits idle without
taking any measure to resolve or repatriate our citizens.
At this juncture, we shoild also be preparing to destroy
everything southafrican in Nigeria to e.g Shoprite, Mr Price,
GoTv, DSTV, MTN, STANBIC BANK E.T.C
When the time is right, i will personally revenge.
100 modafúcking lives of South Africans to every 1
Nigerian life lost.

And render all the nigerians working for the company jobless right Will destroying those companies properties bring back the lost lives

Incase you don't know most of the companies you listed above is been managed by nigerians, so in essence nigerians should start killing nigerians because those nigerians work for a "southafrican" company...

We should be able to show we are better than those animals in south africa

We can only hope for the best, from the incoming administration of APC/Buhari, but too many promises will raise the expectation of nigerians so high that any deviation from that will be seen as disappointment from APC...

I would prefer less talk/promise and more actions/results, election campaign is over no need of making so much promises anymore...IMO

slimmy05:
They are crazy, the underpaid staffs? or the overused staffs?

What happens to the ones Nigerians already lost in South Africa.

Well, I do not support reprisal at all, we are way too educated for that.

Well you will have to blame nigerians for that, since most of the departments is outsourced to nigerian companies and companies are responsible for the exploitation and under payment of staffs in their quest to make profit...

asadike:
Make una sell am to a nigerian

Mike ipoki is the current CEO of mtn nigeria, so mtn nigeria is under a nigerian...

I hope Nigerians won't hurt Nigerians all in the name of retaliation of what is happening in far away south africa...


An eye for an eye would make over 6000 nigerians jobless...

following...

When all this was going on was GEJ not aware When you make people like jigawa state governor and babangida aliyu your main campaign guys, you can only blame yourself...

Plus the body language of the northern guys was clear from the onset that they were never with GEJ with their actions and inaction, suddenly isa yuguda decided to say it was PDP guys that stoned GEJ in bauchi, something you won't find anyone do in the camp of APC, same goes to jigawa state governor...

I can only blame GEJ for his own ouster, by putting his trust in this set of back stabbers when their intentions has been made known from the onset...

Change is when you embezzle campaign funds and accuse PDP of corruption, GMB over to you, one of your soldiers don mismanage money ooo...

The only cure to this DSTV madness is competition, I wonder what happened to HITV, DAARSAT and others...

I guess OBJ voted in all the polling unit across the federation against PDP, though some of his actions/inaction contributed to the "demise" of PDP...

In actual sense its the people that took PDP to the cleaners and not OBJ, they should stop hyping OBJ unnecessarily, they should be hyping the voters that delivered nigeria from PDP through their PVC...IMO

Another 40million naira wasted, what is the purpose of the mass wedding Does the mass wedding alleviate their poverty or something Will the mass wedding stop promiscuity Why marry people out and use state funds in the process

I wonder how some of our politicians up north reason, when there are projects that could be beneficial to all, they would rather use 40million to organise mass wedding just in the name of getting women/men satisfied "maritally"...SMH

jliusadura:
make buhari get there first before making threatening statements. I don talk my own o

I will stop this and that buhari wants to embark on will cause a big fallout between him and the law makers...IMO

The headline is a bit misleading, buhari can only appeal to the law makers to repeal the law, as he does not have the power to change the law that has already been passed by the house of assembly....

In as much as the idea is indeed a good one, i don't see any of our selfish polithieficians subscribing to it, even people within his (buhari's) camp will kick against it...

And the chest beating continues...

chacoonder:
That is what he's actual concerned about, that even if the result of the re run election is in favour of his opposition and going by the no of the registered voters in those communities, he'll still be leading them with at least 20000 votes.That is why he has been urging INEC to release the result since on Monday.

Well you can't be certain and INEC should be seen as fair to all candidates involved in the election...

eazysally:
You won't discover your talent untill you are face with this kind of issue, since pdp lost out in kano he can try his new found talent in long jump and 100m race.

I never knew we have someone that can win medals for us at the Olympics in high jump and 400m race...

We are not interested in how you get the job done what nigerians are interested in is getting results, if restoring relationship with US will secure the country better then i say they should go for it...IMO

GboyegaD:
Does the governor has the right to impeach his deputy? I don't think the house would work with him on this.

The house might work with him on this, if he has influence in the house and if PDP has majority in the house, the deputy governor shot himself in the foot by leaving PDP 2 days to the presidential election, when he knows he still has some few years left on his tenure...

It would have favoured him if that was his last and final term in office, i don't see him surviving this, some guys protested at the government house yesterday calling for his removal....

He would be termed as the enemy within, since PDP has majority in the house and he is the only APC guy in government, i don't envy his situation....

bewla:
offence number two

Well he has a role model, atleast some of our honourables in the house of rep "scaled/jumped" fence too...

egift:
This is just the beginning. At this rate, the man will reach the Mountains of Australia in no time.

When you see something wey pass you, my brother you go turn usain bolt...

Badguytinz:
Majority of them na hausa
And na dem people wey no go skool pass smh .
it won't surprise me if the they said Dangote was poorer than most nigerian politicians

The bolded might be true though...

Well lets see how this plays out, i hope they would be able to handle all the internal squabble that comes with becoming the largest party with representation in nigeria...


Sweeping the polls is not the issue but managing egos and managing everyone's expectation is where is real work is, goodluck to APC as they strive to keep all the heavy weights happy...

GboyegaD:
He should relax and not jump the gun. By the way, why is the opposition not accepting results? What is INEC policy regarding results? Sooner or later, the result will be announced.

I think INEC is considering a re-run of the gubernatorial election in IMO, based on the chunk of canceled votes in some parts of the state...

Okorocha should relax and let INEC do their job as they deem it fit as required by the law...

Mr ogunlewe if you feel APC stole your mandate, do the needful by taking your case to election tribunal, rather than crying on the pages of newspaper...

Crying on the pages of newspapers won't return your "stolen" mandate by APC...SMH

I guess APC's project of producing the first female governor in nigeria is still feasible...May the best man or woman win

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has spent $4.7 billion to defend the naira this year, even as the nation’s external reserve fell to $29.6 billion week.

Data published by the CBN on its website show that the external reserve fell by $189 million from $29.778 billion on April 2nd to $29.589 billion on April 9th. Consequently the reserve has fallen by $4.879 billion since December 31st 2014.

Commenting on developments in the nation’s foreign exchange market in the first quarter of the year, Managing Director/Chief Executive, Financial Derivative Company Limited, Mr. Bismarck Rewane said that the apex bank has so far spend $4.7 billion to defend the naira this year, adding that the nation’s external reserve import and payments cover has fallen to 4.8 months, 1.2 months below the international standard for healthy external reserve.

Rewane also stated that the 13 per cent appreciation of the naira in the parallel market in the last two weeks to N197 per dollar from N225 was due to election sentiment and elimination of fear premium. He predicted that the appreciation would soon be reverse and the naira would depreciate further because the fundamentals remain unchanged. “At the parallel market, the naira will trade at N215-N220 against the dollar again”, he said”.

Rewane advised the incoming government of the General Mohammudu Buhari to allow the naira find its true value, calling for reduction in interest rate and easing of monetary policy stance.

Meanwhile lending rates at the interbank money market shot up sharply last week due to cash outflow for dollar purchase, investment in government securities and debit for Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR)

Data published by Financial Market Dealers Quote (FMDQ) show that interest rate for Collateralised lending (Open Buy Back) and Call lending rose by over 150 percent each. While interest rate on Call rose by 185 basis points to 28.67 on Friday percent from 10.17 percent the previous week, interest rate on Collateralised lending (open buy back) rose by 176 basis points to 27.17 percent on Friday from 9.5 percent.

Kawaka Discount House in its weekly Interbank Newsletter reveals that the CBN withdrew N110 billion from banks for the Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR) for March. This in addition to outflow of N293 billion for treasury bill purchase caused the amount of idle cash in the interbank market to drop to zero from N326.44 billion on Tuesday.
