This picture makes me feel sick all the time. It is all shades of subjugation and servitude. The son of a late supreme court Justice bowing down to a fellow human being like this. Even Yusuf Buhari doesn't greet his father like this,

hisexcellency34:
Like this

Second in command really.Ok tell VP Osibanjo to recall all his aides sacked or is it redeployed the term that was used. This will tell you how the office has got no powers over the kind of issue you raised.

contigiency:
These are the kind of intelligent discussions Nigerians ought to be having. And not being easily swayed by those who were at the helm of affairs and paid deaf ears to those things they claim today.

That's why Atiku and his supporters annoy me seriously. He was the second in command when those States the VP is referring to went to court about fiscal federalism which is the most important aspect of restructuring, he looked the other way.

And today, he is behaving as if he just graduated from school where he was taught governance and all other things he is saying. And those who claim to have gone to school and are intelligent, are seeing him like a new Messiah and a new sheriff in town different from that same person who was the VP for 8years.

Why dig up old news here again if not mischief.This news is running to 2 years now.

You believe that,dude doesnt sound like who has stepped outside the shores.

Fountainofyouth:
What.....oh OK.... I thought it was the resident zombie Sarki, then I remembered he doesn't stay in Nigeria but Staten Island, New York, is there any nairalander living there? That guy need severe beating.

It was at a point CMB(Carnaud Metal Box).Same company structure with constant ownership and name change.

lwise:
This info isn't correct,it's not a new factory,the former name was Guinea glass,Beta glass before Frigoglass Agbara Ogun state Except we have Agbara somewhere else.
It has been operating under the name Frigoglass for years,all they did was a little expansion.
The company is managed by fuckkkking Indians.
Nobody should see it as a good opportunity to work there.

Indians are the ones managing most of our companies including the new Dangote Refinery Project.I pray they don't mess up this project.

You must seen clearly agbara ogun state as headline. E

Ryan03:
Everything Lagos. Its like we only have two States in Nigeria, Lagos and "the others".

Lol@ they are answerable to an AG that was appointed and can be fired by the President.Please read your statement again.

ColonelEmeka:
It is easier there because their Judiciary is not corrupt like ours.

The DSS here can actually investigate Buhari because they are answerable to the Attorney General and not Buhari same way the FBI is answerable to their Attorney generals and not to Trump.

You need to read up

So how then it is easy to fight corruption in Western world. The reason it is difficult here is strong institutions are not built. Can you picture DSS investigating a sitting President like FBI did to Trump.The Congress is already giving him a grief for his missteps,can you picture that with our own do that Buhari.

ColonelEmeka:
Anu Ohia mechie gi onu rerere ebahu. Buhari is right. The process of fighting corruption democratically is too slow with bottle necks by an often compromised Judiciary.

In the time of the Military it was swift and justice was firm and without favour.

Ewu see how you could not even think before you typed. Do you think Buhari was refering to actual democracy? He was referring to how slow it is to fight corruption in a democracy

He is a kid definitely for him to have confessed he learnt about Buhari in history books.Those of is that witnessed the hardship he brought then knew you can never teach an old dog new tricks. They will definitely stew in their own juice.

Bizibi:
hehehehe,Kai sycophants!!!

Dont say what you are not sure of.NMTC couldn't graduate officers to be commissioned the reason why Buhari and co were sent to Mons Aldershot in UK for 6 months training to earn their commision. So he is right that he is an equivalent of modern day short service commision as he took him just one year. It takes 3 years to graduate from a military academy.

The NDA started in 1964,that is 3 years before the civil war which was 1967.it will surprise you to know that Oladipo Diya is the number one on the admission list when it was established.

Also about him passing out in flying colours,I can only sigh. Flying colours indeed.

zibya:
Buhari was given a regular army commission. The NDA you claim your father passed through was called NMTC in Buhari's time and he passed through that institution with flying colors. NMTC was converted into NDA during the civil war

Mayflower Ikenne.My mum refused to let me attend because of the school's creed "may your road be rough" and also for the fact that the school's proprietor being an atheist.This is despite the fact that the school's administrator being her cousin.

tooth4tooth:
He lived part of his life in Ogun state . He even attended secondary school but I don't know for how long.

I will not be surprised that he speaks. Even some yoruba kids in UK that had never stepped their feet in Nigeria still speak the language fluently.

That is the beauty of being proud of your heritage.

He was not part of the Saudi 89 team,dont mix it up.

DarkJeddi:
He did but he was more well known for his exploit in the 1987 U-16,where he was the Best Player..

Remembered the heartache of losing the Final,those USSR Winners were mean buggers flattening everybody in their path..

1987 is 32 years back and he could have been 15 years then and that couldn't have made him a grandpa.Unnecessary jab man

Auxtin85:
How are your grandchildren sir?

You are really clever. Does she have a deep knowledge of the wine industry and how to attract a good client base.I saw Henny on her shelves,i hope they are genuine.But big ups to the lad for remembering her mum for good while still alive.He has his head well screwed to the neck.

pocohantas:
He should have left her to sell her plantain. Repackage the business, give it swag, employ a worker for her. With her years of experience, she will rake in good money. Boli is good business. I remember one yahoo guy that was chyking me that year. He took me to one spot where they sell roasted plantain and grilled fish dipped in pepper sauce, na POS we use pay.

Boli wey go Harvard, abi JHU.

Which mumu wine shop be that? E better make I sell iceblock or rent chairs.

"A PERSON OF INTEREST" That term is for tyrants and dictators.Nobody is above the law and let the court decides who is guilty.

Officialgarri:
So the AGF wants to assume the responsibility of the DSS... What a joke!!

Sowore is a person of interest to the DSS, what does AGF have to do with National security?

Really.Dont you have access to Sky news or Beeb> Even CNN International has dedicated the whole early morning programme schedule to the coverage.

helinues:
There was a media black out about this UK election. All major media only talk about it in news no live coverage

You are old enough to know that those held in Guantanamo bay are not American citizens and are terroristss seized from foreign lands.Even with that there have been lot of criticisms over how the place is being run.

Sirjamo:
What useless Court? Court that could not protect us from the lunacy of Mohammed Yusuf, he was arrested many times and always got released by the Courts, when his boko haram grew wings and start slaughtering people, the Court was nowhere to be found.

Nnamdi Kanu got a very stringent bail with a long list of conditions, the moment he stepped his foot out of prison, he broke all the bail conditions, what did we get from the court? Grave yard silence until he eventually jumped bail to go and continue his terrorism from abroad.

Even America that pride itself as the leader of the free world has Guantanamo bay where they lock up every one that constitute danger to their peace without trial, just like Sowore. Human right can be thrashed if it endanger the lives and peace of a nation. The end will always justify the means!!!

What about Turai Yar''adua that took over as President for almost 6months. You forgot or you are just a born hypocrite?

AdesegunSanni89:
I have always known that this woman's noise is because she is not able to steal like previous First Ladies, especially Patience Jonathan. Baba Buhari should divorce this woman abeg.

"The appointment is with effect from Monday, the 9th Day of December, 2019. It is also directed that the Chairman shall immediately summon the inaugural meeting of the Council in accordance with the provisions of the Law"

This is the bait or the catch 22 situation,knowing fully well the composition does not sit well with SLS. I can see deposition looming.

chibaby1985:
Yeah but with what happened last week no one expected this from Gandu

We are talking about strength in diversity of the league here.Not a league where two teams and a half are competing for title every year.

Expert17:
Dose 2 laligga teams UCL Trophies s still more Dan d 5 clubs put together in EPL...........
It's not by crowd

Go back and check the league that has the most number of teams to have won champions league .It is presently 5 teams from EPL against 2 from La Liga

Expert17:
Athletico Madrid vs Real Madrid HV done dat also.....

Go back and check the League with the Most UCL trophies

Fight or game? This is boxing,it is even better to call it a match[quote author= post=84721444]END OF THE MATCH .

From all of us @ : CONGRATULATIONS ANTHONY JOSHUA.

Not the most exciting boxing match,
but he did what he had to do and barely broke a sweat.

Tactics won the game for him tonight.

Rightly so.

Tohyorsih2, watched the game?![/quote]

And two EPL clubs played Champions league final in 2019.

Expert17:
Sevilla and Real Madrid beat Liverpool for Europa and Champions league finals Recently........

And Valencia wan kill Chelsea dis season.....

The truth is,only Liverpool can represent England,.. d rest na rubbish

Julian Assange comes to mind.They can not break into any embassy.The embassy will definitely give him up but break in means territorial invasion.

Freehuman:
Nope. According to VCDR, 1961, Diplomats have immunity against criminal trial . Non of the 53 articles in the Convention provides that a Diplomatic or consular mission can shield a criminal or fugitive in their place of mission. The DSS would break in since there's no express Provision on such matter. Imagine a group that committed contempt of court by chasing out a jugde few hours ago?

Only a strong embassy could have stopped them.

But the organisers have already done a photo shoot for the winner and his family in his house.So what is the essence of attending.

Alanpoza007:
Messi had a genuine excuse not to attend last year's own cos he didn't make it to the podium meaning he was not a contender. He finished outside the top 3 but Ronaldo was shortlisted in the top 3 meaning he was a contender and could end up winning, so he's supposed to be there.

It was Materazzi please get the fact right.

Kapeter:
You are right Cheillini, just same way you helped Cannavaro robbed Zidane off in 2006 with that your useless stunt.

Oponu irare. Nonsense and headnaldo.

You know all these and you are not the MD of world bank. Obviously you are not an economist or at best a pseudo one. The Language of economic institutions are esoteric just like the law profession. There isn't much time to be engaging you on item by item because of typing constraints.

1.They know you know how best to raise your revenue.Just do it whatever way you like be it taxation or devaluation so Govt can have more money to spend to stimulate the economy.How do you think Govt in US and UK raise money.

2.China,India,Singapore,Indonesia are examples

3.Just what predictability means.Be consistent in your policies and no flip flops.

FYI what you just read in that news item is a summary or an excerpt of a detailed report. The detailed report which they release periodically are quite lengthy and cover all those bases where the answers to your questions can be inferred. You can always access it if you are interested and you have the time.

I absolutely agree with you.I am not smart and knowledgeable if that makes you feel better.

Cheerio

0monnak0da:
Excellent

1. Increase domestic revenue . Please explain how that will remove poverty
2. Remove trade restrictions . Is there any examole of any country that has reduced poverty by doing this?
Is there any country without trade restrictions. How unrestricted is trade with the US, the EU etc
3. Predictability of Economic policy . Exactly what does this mean? How predictable is economic policy in the US ,Britain etc

I agree 100% with the removal of fuel subsidy but not BECAUSE it will "reduce poverty" . It certainly will NOT do that
Reduce lending to targeted sectors that crowd out the banks

Is there any country in the G7 (wealthiest countries) or China etc that do not lend to targeted sectors? We are asked to "reduce" from what to what what is the recommended level

What are the sectors we are talking about, I believe agriculture is one of them. and the greatest beneficiary So we should stop that?
HOW will that REDUCE poverty??

HOW does government activity "CROWD OUT " banks how do we measure and determine that banks are crowded out

In the US and the EU government lends to banks at 0% or LESS ( yes Less that is not a typo) and in Nigeria lending is 20% or more.

The reality is none, again NONE of the World Bank's recommendations will reduce poverty.

There is no mention of investment in education,training and entrepreneurship or health. No advice on how to develop our power generation or transmission.
No advise on how we can reduce gas flaring or increase our utilization of gas instead of firewood rather some meaningless and patronizing twaddle that they do not practice in their own countries.

You are not as smart or knowlegeable as you obviously think you are

You do not know
You do not know you do not know
You think you know
You have no one to tell you

As If Messi hasn't skipped in the past too.No big deal as he wasnt missed.

helinues:
Egocentric Ronaldo

Why skipping the yesterday Ballon D'or cos you are not winning this time...

Hiss

The world bank will not split skulls open to explain line by line like a kindergatten class.There is an assumption they are dealing with or talking to learned people in field of economics and finance. However some of the solutions proffered are below,now left for your policy makers to drive it.

"The World Bank urged President Muhammadu Buhari to increase domestic revenue , remove trade restrictions and improve the predictability of economic policy .
It also advised the Nigerian government to remove expensive fuel subsidies and reduce lending to targeted sectors “ that crowd out banks .”

If you dont see a single solution in what was mentioned here,there is no need for us to argue. The points are unequivocal and if you are looking for a grammar debate,I am not up for that.

0monnak0da:
I read it name one just one suggestion that the World Bank made that will help us

JUST ONE

Stop being evasive

ONE Suggestion and let us talk about that one
I do not see anything concrete that will address poverty
So you tell us and stop waffling

Obviously you didnt read the article.Ecerything we need to do as solution was stated there.Take your time to go through it again.

0monnak0da:
What EXACTLY is the World bank suggesting and how would that reduce poverty

Please cite ONE suggestion. Just one

Sorry,I responded to a wrong ID.

iSlayer:
The World Bank is suggesting something against the increasing hardship in this country but already two people up there are saying Nigeria should do away with it. As if they have a better plan in the offing.

Zombies will be the death of Nigeria not IPOB or revolution now.

You are right about the engine capacity meeting requirement on restricted areas but the law didn't approve for them to be carrying passengers .The law was made flexible to accomodate courier/dispatch riders.

RichDad1:
Sanwo-Olu is a very clueless governor. He might end up being the worst governor in Lagos state history.
The same OPay that has been helping Lagosians meet up with appointments, avoid sacks and saved lots of productive hours usually spent in Lagos traffic on a daily basis ?
Why are these people allergic to anything that will reduce the transportation woes of the average Lagos residents ?
The traffic laws only banned motorcycles with engine capacity lesser than 200cc from plying the highways and other restricted routes. To the best of my knowledge, OPay , Max etc use motorcycles with engine capacity around 250cc upwards.
The amount of traffic in Lagos metropolis is unprecedented, Yet this point and kill Governor wants to to make things worse.
While tankers are having a field day on the roads and he’s at lost as to what to do, it’s the Bike that are helping to alleviate the suffering that he’s barking at.
All the roads he announced will be repaired or reconstructed as soon as possible are still the same thing. From Badagry to Ikorodu , Epe, Alimosho, etc.
Infact all the 5 divisions of Lagos state is worse than he met them.
I hope Cardinal Odumbaku and other Lagos APC stalwarts are taking keen interest on this accidental Governor they foisted on us?
AMBO was bad, pompous, not a good party man etc. But I don’t think Sanwo-Olu is any better.
