This is the mentality that keeps Nigeria stagnant

Eziachi:
Sorry, am nobody as you had rightly guessed, just a victim of authority stealing like you.
And again, am too old to follow your lifestyle of sucking whatever that you loved sucking and far worst is that my mama died so many years ago even before you were born.
So Mr Big Boy, even if I am dying to, there is nothing to suck.

I am not victim of anything, I worked for my money and am happy the way I am, keep waiting for government and you and your family will remain poor till God k ows when

kasmail:

NgeneUkwenu:
Saraki!!! No where to run to! Just surrender to the nearest Police Station!

No Judge Messes With Buhari's Anti Corruption Stance!

lalasticlala!

You are just a fool this guy

jayfolarin:
Those are gullible youths and do not represent even 0.5% of our voices and opinions. Yorubas never support crude criminality that Saraki represents!

What of Fashola, Tinubustop fooling yourself under loyalty to one man. Nigeria is Democratic and due process must be followed, for now Saraki is not guilty of any crime.

Op, u tried sha

Failure in leadership is when a supposedly leader looks else where for whom to apportion blames to for it`s failure, APC leadership in Osun state is a failure and them and their shameless rascal Aregbesola should not look else where but themselves for failing the people of Osun woefully. From building biggest talking drums to purchasing needless helicopters and constructing wasted airports that leads nowhere.

APC is a comedy of errors.

Time is coming when APC won't blame PDP for their woes. Just leave them.

kasmail:
The rise and fall of Bukola Saraki...... Saraki left the PDP for personal reasons......not because he wanted CHANGE. This is evident in his behaviour since APC became victorious. APC trusted Saraki, jilted Belgore just to please Saraki. APC asked both Belgore and Lai Mohammed to relinquish the state leadership to Saraki. While Lai choicelessly agreed, Belgore left APC because 'I can never be in the same party with Saraki talkless of him leading me'.....Raji Fashola spoke and appealed to his bosom friend Belgore not to leave APC but the latter sought Fashola's understanding on the fact that Saraki is not a human being and that APC will regret having Saraki in its fold. APC openly celebrated Saraki. Saraki nominated every single political appointments in Kwara......he took over the structure of the APC in Kwara. APC narrowly won Kwara with just over 100k votes above the PDP. Race for Senate Leadership began. This slot would have naturally gone to the SE had Ngige or other experienced APC senatorial candidate won but APC NASS conflict's foundation was laid by the rejection of the party in the SE! Therefore, 3 major lucky contenders were jostling for the Senate President position......Lawan from NE, Saraki and Akume from NS all wanted to fill the vacuum created by the SE. Buhari and APC preferred Lawan from the NE instead of Tinubu's friend Akume and Atiku's choice Saraki. Tinubu being a smart man quickly asked his friend Akume to step down for the Party's and President's choice Lawan. Akume, another reasonable politician agreed! Tinubu is not just a driver, he also know when to accelerate and when to march the brake!!!!!!! Atiku and Saraki kept on accelerating even when it was obvious that the duo have approached the zebra crossing!!!! A warrior that knows how to fight that does not know how to run when necessary will eventually perish in the battlefield! Saraki and his pushers became arrogant and resolute to disgrace the APC and the President .... All appeals by leaders of their party did not hold water. Saraki said he wanted due process......th erefore, the party organized a primary election to please him......Saraki lost the election and instead of staying within his team and agree with the APC Senators decision, he betrayed the APC and teamed up with the PDP to steal the hard earned victory of the APC through the back door. He wanted SP even if heavens will fall. He eventually stole it while 95% of his colleagues were away, he joined the PDP to ridicule CHANGE. He did not stop there, he made the PDP DSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! What wickedness What a deadly traitor?? The party was battling with the humble pie and sought further reconciliation by asking Saraki to give other leadership positions left to its preferred choices, at least to calm nerves and save the party from national disgrace...but Saraki once again injured the party and announced his own preferred choices behaving like 'IGE ADUBI' who cares less whether or not his mother or father died on the day of his birth! The intention of Saraki became very clear to APC......he wants to APC to fail, disgraced and destroyed......he has gone back to his former husband...PDP. But the concern of Buhari is different from the APC's.......Buhari wants to eradicate corruption but how can Kwara Corruption King lead from the senate Number one priority of Buhari administration has been ambushed by thieves from the NASS.....Buhari, a soldier and a war tested veteran will not give up the fight to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. His preference for Lawan has nothing to do with politics but with policies! Saraki obviously has constituted himself to be a clog in the wheels of CHANGE. He has become the arrow head of Business as Usual in a government of CHANGE! Therefore his book of remembrance was opened. His judgement became expedient.....Since he wanted to be one of leaders in the government of Change, he must be thoroughly searched. Buhari the first leader has been searched....... Osinbajo the second leader has been searched.....so why will Saraki the 'third' leader avoid search You cannot eat your cake and have it!!!!! For those who said why saraki? Keep your mouth shut. Saraki wants to be number three and therefore, his cupboards must be opened, we must know his condition and fitness......if he passed this current test, then CHANGE will admit him but if he fails......CHANGE will purge him........ This is not a joke! CHANGE has come to Nigeria and he who must come to equity must come with clean hands! And that is what we mean by Common Sense Revolution!

Must u tell people to shut up before making ur point. Mtcheew.

tomakint:
Who cares? Who is begging him? His delusion of grandeur will only fetch him a self-contained room in either Kuje or Kirikiri Prison.....he should go and learn from Enwerem, Okadigbo and Wabara, unfortunately he is too blinded by his inordinate ambition to learn from history. The truth he remains unpopular among his colleagues, he is overtly corrupt to preside over the SENATE. Saraki is a goner

Ok sir. But did u say unpopular among his colleagues?

In my opinion Saraki won't give in, no matter what happens.

Ymodulus:
Some months ago i wrote an article on why the Deltans are not igbos and should be left out of the Biafram struggle.

Today while watching a Nigerian Movie title " The Meeting Silverbird Cinema "

I watched this, and I noticed the igbo lady trying so hard to make sure that Rita Dominic a Delta woman accept that she is Igbo and not Delta.

Why are igbos this forceful. Deltans say leave them alone and you are still trying to force yourselves.

You are simply Jobless. If this is what u wanna start discussing then u are jobless

OrlandoOwoh:
Power, in every democracy, lies with the people. What kind of democracy is it whose judiciary would give an injunction on a case like that of Saraki in less than two days while that of the ordinary man lingers for years while he remains in detention?

Power lies with the people to vote not to become Judges? The people are not the court.... The power of the people is thus in a context. Oh power lies with the people to kill a thief before going to court? That is barbaric and only done in the 18th century

Keneking:
saraki is going
ekweremadu is going
mark is going
akpabio is already gone
Orji is warming up
Oduah is almost there

---their numbers are growing downward

Kwakwanso is not going
Ndume is not going
Akume is not going

They have never stolen a penny

OrlandoOwoh:
Time is coming when the masses will hit the street to protest against the way judges issue injuctions preventing the trial of corrupt people. We did it during the subsidy removal in January 2012, we can do it again.

If you wanna be Democratic then u must obey the rules. in democracy, there is right to fair hearing and also due process, if you can't contend with that then I don't know what you will do. All Democratic nations of advanced standard follows this pattern, we cannot act barbaric and give individuals absolute powers, it is not about Saraki alone but tomorrow it could be you involved. Everyone deserves the right to fair hearing and fair judgement. It is about stating your case and bringing your proof. Today it is saraki, tomorrow it could be an innocent mother who is being intimidated by a wealthy man, we need to follow due process no matter how hungry we are to seeing Justice.

olatunji21:
How do we move forward if we don't get rid of these persons?

If you feel that is it, then move on with it. In my opinion we are in the wrong path. No Nation spends time and resources dwelling on these kind of matters, matters like this should be secondary not main priority. Loop the holes of corruption, and move on. The country cannot be stand still cos of one corrupt man. No! Time is fast going, there is so much to be done in Nigeria, all these things we celebrate are all minnows. The govt should have better things to do. The nation cannot move on only corruption investigation. In fact for this war against corruption to be effective, there need to be some things in place which are not there. There are few Nigerian politician and civil servants who are not corruption. It is more than this My brother. Anyway Goodluck to Nigeria and PMB.

Dear Nairalanders what do you think? In my opinion I expect APC to do better than this. Every day and time is precious to Nigerias success. We can't spend 6 months of govt doing all these.

Eziachi:
Agbakoba is talking nonsense, any appeal emanating from the Code of conduct tribunal lies with Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
It is unheard of in law of any judicial obstruction of law enforcement investigation as done by this corrupt justice of the federal high court
The tribunal shall proceed with what they are doing and let Saraki proceed to the superior court of appeal.

Who are you? A nobody I guess. What do you know about law and process? Absolutely nothing! Shut up and suck ur mamas boobs little boy

dammytosh:
So says deluded Sukuudi.

He will step down himself to negotiate a way out.

He is more confused than u think.

No immunity and he is not in Good terms with the president or Vice President.

He is a gonner

Intelligent people don't rain insult or spoil someone's name before making a comment. Grow up and stop acting like an uneducated person. Just make your point and refrain from spoiling ones name.

olatunji21:
Saraki's Close Associate

Dino Melaye--His Victory is been Challenged in Court

Ekeweremadu--Accused of forging Senate Standing Order

Akpabio --Needs no Introduction

David Mark--Standing on a Foot, might possibly be sent packing from the Senate

Danjuma Goje--EFCC breathing down his neck

Yerima--EFCC Customer

Buruji Kashamu--Any single mistake from him, he would be off to the US in d next available Flight

ETC ETC ETC

So this is what gives you guys joy in Nigeria? Nations are developing and making positive road maps towards progress, Nigeria is fighting in the political circle and stagnant.

sammyj:
FG should not take this Saraki 's case with a pinch of salt because this should act as a deterent to others that fills are above the Nigerian constitution and people. Still waiting for the wailers kings spoke men like Ben Bruce and Fayose to come and support illegality! !

Patience is a virtue, why not wait and see how it unfolds . I don't support corruption but let's wait cos nothing has happened yet.

Ordinary Bukola saraki, they are shouting that he has a British Passport

Imortal001:
Good, where the bad belle's?

It does not deny the fact that something transpired.... Perherps we should be dwelling on better news than all this trash

AlPeter:
We are getting there slowly. Hope oga JONA is taking notes

After all so what happens? Mtchee

Imortal001:
Minus the wailers, you cant help but like PMB., the man of the people.

Time is coming when slogans won't be valid anymore

Orikinla:
President Muhammadu Buhari will achieve within two years what former President Goodluck Jonathan failed to achieve in six years in office. The outstanding new management of the NNPC alone has already acheved within a month what the NNPC failed to achieve under Jonathan! It is really amazing to see that the NNPC can be reformed and transformed before our very eyes! Reforms are also coming in the Customs and Immigrations where corrupt practices have been daily routines for decades. The NNPC, Customs and Immigrations have been the most corrupt over the years with the NNPC being the worst embarrassment to the Nigerian government that even the former British PM Tony Blair told the new President of Nigeria that if he can fix the NNPC, he will succeed to reform and transform Nigeria. This is what President Buhari is already doing that is making me to be proud of him. What former President Jonathan did not have the balls to do, because he compromised his principles in political cronyism and nepotism that made his administration one of the worst administrations in the political history of Nigeria since independence on October 1, 1960. What disappointed me most was the failure of former President Goodluck Jonathan to even develop his home state of Bayela, the oil producing state in the oil rich Niger Delta without any airport and without any seaport and not even a ferry service! From when he was the deputy governor and later took over as the executive governor and collecting more than N170 billion as annual revenue allocation, Mr. Jonathan failed to develop Bayelsa State that has a small population of less than 3 million people, the size of two local government areas in Lagos State. Bayelsa collects more annual federal revenue allocation than Lagos, the most populated state in Nigeria with more than 20 million people. Former President Jonathan could not even build an ordinary airstrip or jetty in Bayelsa State as the Governor and still failed to develop the state when he became the Vice President and then the President of Nigeria for 6 years. Today, he cannot fly straight to Bayelsa, because he failed to build an airport in the state. He flies to the Port Harcourt International Airport and then a helicopter will take him to Bayelsa State. What a shame.

What you wrote here is irrelevant, only Time will tell

Truth234:
In 2012, when Nigeria was listed on JPMorgan emerging market Bond index, it was done based on a two way quote by the CBN and the then minister of finance, Okonjo Iweala, backing their decision on Nigeria growing economy of 7.4 percent annual GDP and 6.9 percent in 2011, substantiated with a blooming global oil price averaging between $90 to $100 a barrel as at the time, and Knowing fully well that cost of servicing foreign debts will reduce significantly and position she, Okonjo Iweala as the powerhouse of Africa largest economy on the international scene and the force behind the actualization of Nigeria dream to a more mainstream investment destination, they concluded it was the right thing to do without proper consideration for future consequences in the advent of global disaster like current drop in global energy prices and emerging market economic rout.

Here is the logic, Nigeria is a petrol-dollar economy, which means her economic growth is directly proportional to both petroleum (crude oil) and dollar strength. The former is regulated by global demand and supply while the latter is determined by the US economy, while Nigeria’s economy is being driven by non-oil sector (construction, telecoms, manufacturing and agriculture) mainly, it is normal to expect the economic team representing the nation to base their decisions on those sectors that are thriving and can be internally regulated even if it means not been listed as at the time but no, their decision was based on crude oil price.

In 2014, when oil price started falling after peaking at $105.64 in June, with fewer options left to curb the situation, Okonjo Iweala, the minister of finance took to the media, in her words “Nigeria should brace for tougher economic times ahead” insinuating she has no solution apart from her overzealous ambiguity to be at the realm of power and yet we were being chastised for not retaining her team in power.

The current Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) administration came in without much time to curtail the situation, and with naira weakened to more than 200 per dollar for the first time, Godwin Emefiele, Chairman of Central Bank of Nigeria was forced to take a decisive decision which includes spending $380 million to stop the fall of the Naira, restricting 41 item’s importers from accessing FOREX official rate, overhauling foreign currency domicile accounts, restricting dollar withdrawal limit on locally issued credit cards and pegging naira to a fixed rate of 197 to a US dollar. Bear in mind that these might not be perfect economic measures as Nigeria is a heavy import-dependent economy but juxtaposing the danger of what would have happened without these measures with been delisted, an economist will agree it is an acceptable policy given the circumstances.

Here are the possible consequences if the CBN had succumbed to JPMorgan pressure and gone ahead with the devaluation using two-way forex market has suggested, naira value would be between 300 to 320 naira to a US dollar by now, inflation would have surged to double digit from 9.20 percent recorded in July, 2015. Cost of goods and services would jumped to a new height, followed by increase in unemployment as interest rate would have risen, making loan almost inaccessible for companies to finance capital projects. Overall, the decision would have created negative perceptions about Nigeria true economic growth (GDP), and subsequently, forced these same foreign investors backed by JPMorgan to safeguard their fund by withdrawing based on uncertainty and high risk after profiting from the decline.

Hi OP, when Obama became US president, he blamed Bush almost every second, a time came he could not blame Bush anymore. The Time is coming when Buhari can't blame Jonathan for his woes.

sameer1212:
mumu, did I look like hungry man Mtchewww.

Yes u do

sameer1212:
Hahahahaha! Fayose children are riding luxury cars and nairaland WAILERS are ready to die for him even when 99% percent of them are dying of hunger and abject poverty. Hmmmm nawa ooo.

PMBs wife uses diamond wristwatch and you are dying for him with hunger in your belle

jaybee3:
Stop being condescending Mr!

So they are somewhat restricted to buying Oil from us but you've ridiculously ignored the fact that our lackadaisical import policy also allows substandard Chinese products to flood the streets of ur dear Nation. That's certainly worth a few bucks to the Chinese govt coffers doesn't it?

I'm sure you know china's growth is been fueled by their manufacturing strides so what's the point in manufacturing stuff they can't sell to friendly nations?

Once again, do you understand the concept behind bilateral trade agreements?

Ok prof

jaybee3:
Do you understand the concept of bilateral trade agreements?

We need them as much as they need us

Young man we need them more! Do you know how many things they buy from us? That goes to our economy purse?
