Question Amechi for the N3 trillion he spent on Buhari's election from River's purse.

madridguy:
GEJ has promised to speak about DasukiGate when its time.

DIKEnaWAR:
True! But in this our clime, old men equate their age with unrivaled wisom. This is why Obj and Buhari listens to no one(not even the youths with a better idea that they appointed). They think they have seen it all and are quick to ask: what do you know?

.

DIKEnaWAR:
No wonder African continent is under developed. We have carried our respect and hope in elders too far.

While the like os the USA, Britain and Canada are electing people who can get the job done, irrespective of age, we are here trusting the (un)wisdom in old age. Pray how can these men move us forward when many of them 'rule' from recliners, reminiscing about yesterday.

No wonder Africa is trapped in yesterday while the rest of the world have marched on in dynamism.

This is a quick account into the age of Africa rulers in 2015. The Oldest presidents in Africa and most of them are still serving. Then the question of youth as leaders of tomorrow comes into play. Are youths still going to lead tomorrow?

sometimes i wonder if there are technocrats and experts involved in this country's administrations? or if all public offices are actually manned by carreer politicians who have little or no expertise on how to run a government but are in office simply by the generousity of political godfathers who they themselves lack all administrative savvy.looking at this list list,you'll find out that most of the sectors that got larger chunks of the budget are sectors that have no direct bearing on alleviating the plight of the common people.what a country!

During an interactive session with editors recently in Abuja, Mr. Emefiele, the CBN boss explained that the Nigerian economy was not as bad as being portrayed, compared with other economies in Africa.

He advised importers to restrict their imports to raw
materials and equipment, rather than finished products and food items, to reduce the pressure on the nation’s scarce foreign exchange.

“CBN will soon start a nationwide campaign to sensitise Nigerians on items excluded from importation as part of efforts to save more foreign exchange and stabilise the nation’s currency,” he
said.

“If we are able to reduce importation, the demand for the dollar will fall automatically. The country should go back to the farm to produce what was needed. “Public servants should also engage in farming,’ Mr. Emefiele said.

Federica Mogherini, European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security has replied Biafra agitators and the Organization of Emerging African States (OEAS) over their call for a referendum.

The OEAS had earlier requested that the European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security utilizes their good office to help bring about a referendum for Biafra’s independence.

The OEAS also called for release of all Biafran political prisoners, a stand down of Nigerian forces, and a snap referendum to be held within 90 days.

In response to their request, Mogherini replied Dr., Jonathan Levy, OEAS Chief Administrative Officer, stressing that, the European Union’s official position is that while it has strong diplomatic and economic ties with Nigeria, “protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms remains a priority for the EU and we encourage the authorities [Nigeria] in every occasion to respect such rights.”

The EU went on to advise the OEAS and Biafrans that self-determination and border changes must be in accordance with established international law. The OEAS has called for an internationally recognized referendum on Biafra independence or autonomy.

The EU has indicated it will only recognize a Biafra
born via international law and not armed secession.

To achieve a referendum, the OEAS advises all nonviolent means should be utilized including general strikes, economic boycotts, work actions, demonstrations, lawsuits, and civil disobedience. Nigeria is a member of The International Labor Organization (ILO).

The ILO recognizes the right to engage in general strikes and the right to strike is also recognized in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and
Cultural Rights of 1966 (Article 8(1)(d)).
