[[s]quote author=blueto post=49687618] He had no achievements any yet Nigeria was ranked 3rd fastest growing economy in the world, largest economy in africa. Even Dangote and so many other, business men, sports athletes attributed their success to Jonathan's good policies, World bank and other reputable economic organisations evaluated Jonathans policies and programmes as topnotch on global sphere.

I would like to restate was I said concerning Buhari in your case, it is either you are deliberately feigning amnesia or you are veraciously suffering from it. And same goes to all Buhari's acolytes with the same mindset.[/s]


This piece of crap u typed only exists in your imagination. And to make it worse u are basing fictitious "achievements" of jonathan on the comments of Dangote and business men?? That makes absolutely no sense. And its the same silly rhetoric jonathan made, boasting that he made people billionaires. When 90% of nigerians were living below a dollar a day.

Common sense tells u that if 1% of the trash u typed was true, we wont have had Buhari as president today. Jonathan was a monumental flop and clueless brainless slowpoke. Period.

LOL, 90% living below $1 a day?. that's rubbish and you know it. as of 2013 the population below the poverty line was 25% https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Nigeria. I agree that Jonathan was in no way the best for Nigeria, but his achievements far outweigh whatever Buhari has had to offer so far. Buhari's constant wailing over the past govt is becoming redundant and unnecessary. I believe he should focus and work rather than blame everyone but himself for the current economic conditions in the country.

banki:
abeg you guys are insatiable
we wanted young people as ministers kemi is the youngest minister
we wanted women kemi is a woman
some bigots wanted southerners she is a southerner

I prefer kemi
she ensured that state goverments got bail out to pay salaries even when oil prices were lower
someone was minister and states were owing 8mmonths salaries and yet Nigeria was earning more

I prefer kemi during her time I haven't heard or seen anyone carrying billions of dollars away but under someone else theft was the order of the day

someone did not save for a rainy day
someone else is saving

who ha been owing contractors een when Nigeria was earning 6 times what we are earning now

Who is a better manager,

Please don't joke around. you cannot compare Ngozi's achievement for the economy and the country to whatever Kemi thinks she is doing now. its in no way comparable.

piperson:
remember the blazay guy? He sells uk used phones in computer village for one mr uche... he's never been to an airport let alone US.i saw his profile on his fone...thanks

real tears . LMAOO!

luvinhubby:
No light, dry taps, long queues of vehicles on filling stations buying fuel at over 100 naira per liter & Buhari's ministers are going to pocket N485 million each annually when their principal is saying Nigeria is broke.

Buhariiiiii oo !!!

Did you even read or calculate the figures?

so??, How much is are hummers? utter rubbish

This post is so BS it's ridiculous. Look at the source some of you illiterates, nigerianfilms bla bla bla... What the hell is that?... Total legit salary of a senator is not more than N35m a year. They likely earn a little over permanent secretaries and commissioners.

SirShymex:
That's a nice car - H-billions.

It looks like the bentley flying spur, but how come it has the rolls royce spirit of ecstasy emblem at the front?

This nygga Davido has a female cousin that's fine as fvck, with a ridiculous body.

Bentley Mulsanne man not a flying spur

TDstarr:
26years still boasting with your fathers wealth.....mugu

why you dey vex? is it your money...is it your money?

jojoki:
Bro, why picking childish offence to my post.
What did we bring to this world? Nothing
What are we taking to me God? Nothing
wakeup Bro!

Ok fam, so whats the use of anything? why not just stay home, do nothing, don't eat even since everything is vanity. I'm sure the bible also specified that Solomon was rich, a number of Pastors around the world own private jets and live the lifestyle of the elite, no one complains But when it comes to showing off a few nice cars and a nice house which he probably thanked God for giving his father, it becomes vain. Fam! lets face it, most things in this world are vain because they are manmade and don't glorify God.

jojoki:
When the father dies he will be buried in a tiny 6fts down. Vanity upon vanity. I will rather use my money to serve humanity and be remember for that.

LOOL hypocrites....hypocrites everywhere.

BiHung:
Chai!!! This is too expensive o.
I will rather send my kids to a normal school and employ private lesson teachers to complete the rest.

If you are intelligent, you are intelligent.
It's not by eating spaghetti with fellow ajebos that will make you pass Jamb.

I don talk my own

This is true, however with the social class you keep in schools like this, you are likely never going to be poor. 9 out of 10 times their parents are already well to do, probably influential and have connections. Therefore getting into Uni and eventually getting good jobs won't be as difficult.

mickyarams:
That is what an average state school look like in the UK unlike our state schools here. God will punish all our st%pid fa$got pot bellied politicians.

well thats UK and they have had over 100 years to make their education the best it could be. Try not to compare it with a that of a third world country aii

rattlesnake:
Vanity upon vanity

Loool Rubbish!

pendy79:
Even if it is done in Hilton as long as the press is not involved, it doesn't take the shine out of the gathering. People he governs who are victims of various attacks or people in chibok who look up to him for succor and a believe that he is doing something to remedy their situation will feel so bad seeing this kind of pictures.

It sends an image of someone who really isn't bothered about happenings around him. If the independence day celebration was made lowkeyed because of circumstances prevalent in the country then he should have made this a media free event.

I completely agree. He was probably naive of the effect this would bring. Nonetheless there is only so much he can do as a president that could stop these terrorists for good and release this girls. Its a very sticky situation to be honest, not to make excuses for the president but I doubt he has just been folding his arms and doing nothing over this issue.

pendy79:
He is cutting cake and in celebratory mode while over 200girls he swore to protect are still with the murderous gang, over 53boys he swore to defend were blown to pieces for something they kniw nothing about ,over a large chunk of his territory are under terrorist rule. Daily and incessant terrorist attack everywhere, close to a million of his citizen are living as refugees in neighboring countries yet he didn't deem it fit to organize a close knit family prayer section to seek the face of God but na to cut cake and invite press and people.

This guy exhumes wickedness, wrong judgement and complete disconnect with the reality of the country he leads. How can a reasonable president be in a celebratory mood with all the happenings in Nigeria.


How low and daft can this man and his handlers be?

I see your point clearly but the guy is human and this may be his wife's or family's idea of a close knit gathering amongst family and friends to celebrate his birthday. Its not like he took over the intercontinental or Hilton hotel to throw a big bash.

Both are talented and beautiful. Seyi edges out Tiwa in looks... She's hot.

The greatest, smartest and without weakness

I just love that dude

#teamBATMAN#

He's just human....that's a weakness.

geeez: With BRF, Bill Gates looks like he was visiting the president of a developed country

With GEJ, he looked like he is in a third world with people begging for aid

Everything about BRF is truly presidential from his poses to his gestures.

shallow, to say the least.

sanniemoe: A hardworking Nigerian CANT AFFORD THIS.

kilode?? Omo,its either u a drug baron,politician,or most likely a fraudster.

now this is complete and utter rubbish. what do you mean a hardworking Nigerian can't afford this? what about Ceos, bank managers, directors, Engineers and contractors can all afford this without too much stress. There are even hard working government officials like, permanent secetaries, head of service, ministers, commissioners etc who can also afford places like this. Frankly, its really not that serious.

dhensity: donJazzy 4uckup dis tyme sha, he should ve called wandecoal at least...instead of disgracing him on social media!!!.i heard donJazzy's version nd wandecoal's own ..WC actually stole it..but there re better wayz 2 settlle it than bringn d brawl online.

why should he call?, did wande call him in advance to let him know he stole his song word for word and beat for beat?. Its really plain and simple; Wande coal totally messed up and he's falling back to sentiments just like brymo is doing in his own situation. Its really because its Nigeria, this sort of rubbish wande pulled can ruin careers on the international platform.

Wande could have just ended everything by apologizing and even in a fun way give Don jazzy credit for the song but nahh the guy wants to pull the crowd by using sentiments.

okoli chibuzor: Hahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahha ...... Yes u can't survival in nigeria politics reason because no one to link up also even if u survive in nigeria politics u will still be a rooter....... Who told u are the best cbn governor. Even what have u don. Thank God for ;Dsoludo who has laid down some map for u......... plz go and sleep mr lamido

what exactly is this nitwit saying? If you read the statement, he clearly states that "being a good central banker" he never said he is the best. Which is quite humbling considering that he has bagged the best central bank governor in Africa for the past 3 years and one of the best in the world.

Finally, i completely agree with Sanusi. Politics in general is for a unique kind of people and Nigerian politics needs a lot more than brains and eloquent speaking to be successful.

GustavoFring: I agree.

It's already Number 1 in Nigeria

you and anyone who believes this is obviously deluded.

kingoflag: Biased cus I pointed out that youre a soft biyytch aszz punk that got robbed on campus probably cus you went out there with your nose in the air thinking, as always, that youre better than everyone else and some youngns decided to let you know this aint Africa? Lool We are not in the same class? Of course we are not---and cannot be--- in the same class. You should hand your father the keyboard lets compare class. Dummy, you think its by being fake bourgeois on an anonymous forum? Man, GTFOH!

P.S: Me and you have an argument devoid of insults?! You must really think yourself important enough to earn my respect. SMH Youre even dumber than I thought.

this guy....whatever helps you sleep at night, I just can't with this Lmao!

kingoflag: This dude, youre just dumb as hell its unbelievable. No wonder those kids in your school knew you were soft enough to get robbed of your belongings without a weapon on---of all places--- a college campus!

Can you please get a life....like! please leave me alone!!. You are a really biased person and can result to insults too easily. I've told you that we're clearly not of the same class and can't batter words with you. I and the other poster acknowledged each others points and there were no insults involved. Like i said before when you let go of your sentiments and hate then we can have an argument. Bye.

kingoflag: Wait, didnt you say you lived out here in the United States for a few years now, so how the hell do you know how the electricity situation is?

My entire family lives in Nigeria, I on the other hand go to school in the US with my brother and theres google; you can always do a little bit of research.

ba7man: How is G.E.J's administration creating a favourable environment for investors??

refer to my last post, I gave an "ok" explanation...I think.

[quote author=Sammy107_d]How? Is it by better access to funding, better power, better technology infrastructure like cheaper Internet connectivity, better road networks, tax breaks for startups, investment in research, 72 hour cheap business incorporation etc. What has the government done to ensure that an entrepreneur will find it easier starting up in Nigeria than, say, Kenya? Talk to any of these entrepreneurs and they'll tell you how difficult the market is. The only reason they're here is out of necessity to create livelihoods in a 160m market. The population is huge and at least 10% of them have decent purchasing power. That's the biggest selling point, not "enabling environment and fresh air".[/quote]I don't work for or with the federal government so I cannot give you stats but you can see it in the everyday lives and activities.

1. power generation has increased significantly over the past few years and yea its a fact that some people get close to 23hrs of electricity everyday.

2. I don't know about cheaper internet connectivity but there has been a surge in technology and infrastructure in Nigeria. (well I guess thats why the world bank, IMF and other organizations keep saying the economy is one the fastest growing in the world.)

3. Better roads are built or repaired as the days go by in Nigeria, every unbiased Nigerian would testify to this, its not the perfect or the best but its way better than 5-6 years ago. A large number of airports are being remodeled or built in different states in Nigeria to enhance the free flow of business for these entrepreneurs and business owners. The government also set up programs like SURE-P, YOUWIN etc and they are already yielding productive and effective entrepreneurs in the society.

4. I don't actually know if the government has done anything that will favor Nigeria over kenya for entrepreneurs but thats really subjective. Personally i'd rather invest or start a business in any of the two than in South Africa, just by looking at the figures of GDP growth, Economic growth, financial stability etc.

5. Nigeria on its own is a very competitive place, you can't be lazy and expect the government to give you everything. As an entrepreneur, you have to be creative and take all the risks (calculated). If you eventually make it, you'd probably make it big depending on the scale of your business examples are Jason Njoku, Dangote, Adenuga, Dbanj, Donjazzy, Coscharis etc.

Finally, i'm not going to give all the credit to GEJ or his government but I really don't think entrepreneurs will succeed as much in nations like Somalia, Chad, Sudan, Haiti etc in comparison to emerging Nations like Ghana, Nigeria, Ethopia and Kenya.

ba7man: Which favourable environment?

Is it Millitancy ?? High rate of Kidnapping?? Boko-Haram?? Ombatse?? The killings in Jos?? Epileptic power supply?? Corruption?? The railway line that struggles to complete a trip? ......Frankly, Nigeria has never been in a state of anarchy like this in a long time. Investors still troop in because of the high population, not because of what G.E.J told them. Its the citizens that lift this nation, not the F.G.


Don't be vague, pls highlight the "Favourable Environment" that inspired the populace to start developing ideas to create employment.

Your assessment is just amusing, is it the FG thats kidnapping, employing militants, boko haram or creating corruption?...Corruption alone starts from the everyday Nigerian; the people in government aren't from mars. Thesame goes for kidnapping and the rest, its mostly useless and unaccomplished people like yourself that go about doing all sorts just because you believe the federal government should provide your every need. Finally, i totally agree with the other poster that the federal government has made the economy more favorable for entrepreneurs and investors.

kingoflag: This dude sharrrap if u don't have a good retort, no be by force to post. Look at u all over the place like rastafarian dreads, answering to everything but his point.

Get out of my hair man, i'm done educating you...you really have alot of issues you need to deal with. When you let go of all your sentiments, hate for my country and probably sort out your issues then we can have a discussion, till then....cheers!

debbleopto: unbelievable lying. So you enjoy pumping water, generating electricity, securing yourself. with that money. That's why you don't have rest of mind and Mr GODOGODO HAVE YOU NOT READ THAT THOUSAND RICH MEN GO INDIA FOR TREATMENT AND SPEND MUCH OF THEIR MONEY THERE. SOME EVEN DIED THERE AFTER SPENDING ALMOST THEIR WEALTH.

Yes, yes i enjoy pumping my own water and generating my own electricity until the government fixes all that. Come to think of it, i'll still prefer to pump my own water and not pay ridiculous water bills to the government. I can run my Generator for 30-40mins (thats if there's no power at that point) and have water for 2-3 days so what the heck?...i'm good. I don't care if a thousand rich men go to india for treatment, thats totally their business. Nigeria is still developing and we'll definitely come to a point where the need to travel abroad for treatment would be obscure.

I really don't get what you're point, should we all leave Nigeria because its not as developed as the first world countries?
