i weep for nigeria. we are in a big mess

Raziii:
don't be naive, as long as we import,the price will never go down. I mean it's just simple economics na. why are you guys allowing these guys sell crap to you. I took out one important point, 'allowing Deregulation of the industry to be driven by import'. govt is simply passing the subsidy payment over to us. question we should ask is, is there a need for subsidy payment? what if the price of crude oil goes back to over a hundred naira before the year runs out? why was it being subsidised in the first place? for all those saying now is the best time to remove it, I think the best time to remove subsidy would be when we are no longer affected by the prices at the international market or the fluctuations of the dollar and that can only happen when we start refining locally. truth is no matter how fierce the competition is, no body will sell below his cost price. When APC said the price will crash to 50naira in 6months, my question is, will the cost of bringing PMS to the pumps less than 50naira in 6 months time?

may God bless u

I wasnt surprised wen cameron called us fantastically corrupt. Apart from it being a fact, mr president has been going from country to country ryt from wen he became president-elect to announce to the world how corrupt we are. If u r a father nd u tell pple outside dat ur children r pick pockets be sure to hear those pple outside call ur children armed robbers. What im saying in essence is dat mr president is really doing a bad job wit d image of nigeria. No president goes out to call his pple corrupt even in d united states der are large scale corruption we can read how enron went down cos of large scale financial fraud and manipulations bt u will neva hear d us govt bring dat to d public. Russia is anoda corrupt nation bt putin will neva come out nd say dey are corrupt. Even OBJ neva went outside nigeria to accept we r corrupt. Hw can mr president run down our image nd still expect foreigners to come nd invest. Pls someone shld also advice mr president dat we hav heard enough of the 2.1 billion lets move forward already. Cos i personally feel dat money was PDP stolen funds to prosecute campaigns nd was neva meant for arms nd ammunition. Lets move forward already im tired

During d last administration FAAC was held every 15th of every month nd bfre 20th in d cases where dey failed to agree . Dat gave dem ample time to process nd pay between 24,25 or 26th max 28,29 pple get paid. Bt dis govt choose to be holding FAAC 20somtin of every month hw do u expect to process nd pay befre 25th. Its a simple tin take FAAC meeting bk to be held bfre d middle of d month afterall d money being shared are revenue from d previous month. Dis tin is nt rocket science u tire for dis govt

[quote author=marshalcarter post=44931543][/quote]lolz u need to see me wen my baby is bashed i dey mad for dat matter. At dat point i no wan knw if na learner or na woman ooo. Its not easy wen u painstakingly saved to get a car and one reckless dude come destroy am for u na. Bros u sef check am na

My first nd only car is a toyota avalon 04 model, got it in 2013. D car was very very sound i can remember hw d dashboard,interior deisgn,soundless engine, got me tripping in cotonou wen i was inspecting it lolz. Its been 3 years nd i hav never gone to d mechanic for any major work only regular maintenance. I travel alot wit d car from lagos to abuja to benin to owerri to ibadan to abeokuta nd i service d car bfre every journey. really really enjoying my baby till date. Neva bashed it sha nd dos that bashed me i made sure dey repaired wat dey damaged i no dey joke for dat matter

I weep for d rate information is being distorted in dis country especially in recent times. A comptroller general can neva move in a 20 car convoy. D basic dey go arnd wit is a pilot vehicle ahead nd d back up behind making 3 vehicles at most d convey cannot b more dan 5 vehicles which i even doubt. So we shld thoroughly disect accusations bfre judging. A gud driver knws how hard it is to overtake a 20 car convoy not even on a highway how much more d nass complex. Although i dont support assault bt from wat i knw dey wld hav warned her bfre she overtook d convoy. I sense she dared dem

Bro u r terrible with your grammar and spelling. please sit up

Well, in my area here in amuwo odofin in d last 3 days we havnt seen power only came briefly not up to 15mins today

A kalashnikov witout a magazine.... clearly for d picture

The OAP is 100% ryt. I also agree dat even nuns that cover completely could be victims of rape as well as minors also... bt rationally speaking even within d hearts of all dos ladies bashing him, dey knw its true...modest dressing goes a long way in preventing rape. U dont expect to display ur boobs in d street nd don't get assulted one way or anoda...bt hey I've stopped arguing wit women a long time ago cos majority of dem don't argue rationally just like d ones bashing d OAP

shameseun:
"The minister said the government is expecting more revenue from non oil sector of the economy including broadening the tax base".

Revenues from non oil sector indeed, when you are killing businesses. Some are closing shops, while some can barely breakeven. Their profit before tax is in nosedive, meaning that FG's projection of borrowing only =N=1.8trl should be increased.

Sometime last year, the custom boss gave assurance that they can even surpass their target. All their projection was on import duties, if and only if importers still import the way they do.

bros d truth is dey no longer import d way dey use to. imports has nosedived nd im sure u knw d implication for customs revenue

See nurse too leave hospital come struggle fuel too... it is well

Phyno is gud no doubt. More grace man... buh I can spot bleaching * winks

hmm me i see 2015 oooo check very well

I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS ON MANY OF MY ARGUEMENTS WITH PPLE, DIS BUDGET IS NOT ZBB THANK GOD THE AUDITOR GENERAL SAID IT. ITS EITHER THE BUDGET OFFICE DONT KNOW WAT ZBB MEANS OR THEY ARE PLAYING POLITICS.... REALITY ON GROUND AS A RESULT OF THE SHORT TIME AVAILABLE TO PREPARE AND PRESENT THE BUDGET DID NOT FAVOUR A ZERO BASED BUDGET.. IF THE BUDGET OFFICE IS STILL ARGUING HOW COME THERE WERE COPY AND PASTE OF A MINISTRY'S 2015 BUDGET AND THEY SAY ITS ZERO BASED

Wow look at dat little boy, felt so bad. Y do drivers put pples lives at risk like dis especially these blue nd white painted bus dey r just too rough. Dats hw dey waisted souls along ibadan road d oda time

IbnSultaan:
Rubbish from you

bro the guy made sense

Obiagelli:
More recurrent expenditure, I prefer better equiped police, state policing as a matter of fact

ur head dey there, I like wen I see very reasonable comments from ladies. They shld rather equip d police adequately nd spend dat expenditure on military technology like fighter jets nd drones rather dan personnel

Oh my God, wat is happening to ur church... pls have mercy on us

Dey say a stitch in time saves nine, if d cabinet was set up early enough at d ryt time due diligence wld hv been done on d budget befre presentation. Bt dis budget was a rushed budget just to meet d deadline. So d govt of d day shld take responsibility it's der fault for being too slow

Ddaji:
Baba no dey here word.sack all 5% inherited from must corrupt government on earth he keeps them look at the way they are sabotaging his government. 70% of federal government agencies are headed by iPod courtesy of Ayim biafran policy,they are the ones sabotaging the pmb budget and govt policies.please baba abeg u sack them all

I'm no igbo bt honestly I'm ashamed of whoever wrote dis...if given d chance to offer solutions to naija's problems is dis d best u can come up wit? well, my personal opinion is dat wen power improved d oda time everybody praised baba's body language even though we knew he didn't do anything so y can't dey take d blame too wen tins go south nd u r just giving useless excuses dat will neva move is forward or change anything

From ur statement it shows u dont even knw about ur culture..i wanna ask u a question, whenever you pple hold new yam festivals is there a representative of the oba of benin or not? and do dey pay homage to the oba of benin or not? but there again i tink u r ignorant of all dis as u dont knw hw its done or neva attended one

Lemon12:
sharrap

Obi of onitsha and Asagba of Asaba are under nobody ..

the yorubas has always turned history upside dwn for a very long time in their favour... but truth is the yorubas actually came from the binis, the word that turned out to be 'yoruba' today was given to them by the bini's even lagos was named eko' by the same bini's....however i feel dis is all unecessary by the yoruba obas (political obas) cos if they truly want to knw where true monarchy is in the whole of nigeria they knw where to find it....BENIN KINGDOM.....OBA' GHA TO' KPERE

wat do u expect when fashola formed lastma nd paired dem wit police to learn from.... i guess u knw the kind of attitude dey will learn...rascality

Hollup hollup hollup is pmb sounding like GEJ here? D same person dey all criticised. Hmmm smh

focus7:
It is a common knowledge that the muslim hausas are in the majority in the BDC business, closing it down is direct affront to the economy of many muslim hausas his own very people. For those claiming that Buhari government has Islamic agenda and those who claimed is vindictive, or is government target at their region for not voting for him, you have been proven wrong. This is the most honest government that has been in Nigeria.

dis is economics bro nd not religion its crazy how nigerians attach religious centiments nd analysis to every issue. Truth of the matter is dat d naira has been devalued due to d economic situation nd forcing naira to remain at a level is unsustainable in d long run these r d factors dat create d exchange gain to the BDC operators its like a camel dat is on d verge of collapsing will d best response be to wedge it to stand up right wit a stick or to lay it down to rest? If d official rate is adjusted to meet economic realities it will eliminate all dis cos whether we like it or not wat we r paying is d intrinsic value (real value) of our naira

coolsix:
He is right. A BDC will get dollar at N199(N205 max) and sell at N301. Is it fair? Scammers

it is called arbitrage bros, it isn't illegal it is all finance. Nd it can't be stopped so long as all d economic factors create a devaluation of one currency over another arbitrage is bound to occur. Nd last I check BDC. Business is legal pmb shld seek financial advice from experts cos he isn't an economic expert I don't like his one man show approach

Bevista:
I would beg to disagree that the expansionary budget is "wrongly praised". It is exactly what is needed to invest in infrastructure and other parts of the economy with a view to diversifying government revenue. How else do you want government to plan for future revenue in the face of falling oil prices.
---
But, yes, the administration FX Policy is so out of sync with economic realities. Extremely poor from Emefiele & PMB.

there's nothing expansionary about d budget. Considering it's overbloated recurrent expenditure nd huge borrowing at dis dire time nt to talk of d obvious fact that we will still need a supplementary budget funded wit more borrowing bfre year end

mightyfada:
Osun command has not started to collect any applications. Would definitely inform you when we start.

which kind operative be dis one? U r suppose to b secret remember dat always

I remember wen myn happened. I was travelling into abuja just immediately after d last military check point befre abaji. Hmmm it wasn't funny God saved me wit calmness cos I was calm all tru even though my two sisters were already screaming. I just swaved to d right untarred side of d road filled wit gallops unfortunately ahead was a car being worked on by d owner nd a mechanic I cldnt hit dem, looked try my side mirrors nd swaved bk into d road after I past d vehicle I went bak to d side of d road and was shouting nd Horning for d small girls selling beside d road as d car got slower I just applied my emergency break nd shift d gear to park nd dat was it I didn't hit anyone or anything. I still tank God till today I was on 60km/h cos it wld hav been bad. Speed kills pple drive carefully nd always check ur breaks its very important

It seems dey share white beards in dat kuje prison ooo lols once u go der be sure to come out wit white beard
