Happiness87:
have told you inform buhari that honeymoon is over, when gej was in office he was criticized from day one,

just like tinubu said, the media assistants will need to do alot of jobs to defend their boss, just like you are doing.

just like you were expecting gej to turn Nigeria around over night, Buhari will receive same, i hope opposition parties will sit up and give you media mules sleepless nights like what was done in the last 4years

@the bolded with due respect, this is a lie, GEJ's problem started form Jan 2012, [he was sworn in May 29, 2011] when he removed fuel subsidy. He had good will from all Nigerians [after all he won election in 2011] until he removed fuel subsidy and everybody became mad not because of the corruption in subsidy but because of the rise in fuel price, pls mark my words, the rise in fuel price was the reason people criticized the subsidy removal including the NLC.

So to say he was criticized from day one, you are just economical with the truth, pls check and confirm. Get over with the loss of election, GEJ has moved on and is enjoying his holiday. You guys are just too unforgiving and bitter and its showing all over the media which the whole world has come to know and still supporting PMB. We are confident about PMB because he is not a weakling like GEJ.

eagleeye2:
I agree with you. But it seems some people believe that it's that we should keep blaming GEJ and continue criticizing GEJ, while looking elsewhere once Buhari is mentioned.
Have you noticed anytime Buhari is criticized, you must find someone antagonizing GEJ and hipping all blames on GEJ, while all glory and praise goes to Buhari even for projects or something introduced during Jonathan's government. Then the next is tagging any critique of Buhari as a 'wailing wailer'.

we Nigerians are the ones misunderstanding ourselves, do you observe that when the news broke out that the refineries were working, people said GEJ was responsible but when another report came out that the warri refinery broke down, people said buhari was responsible.

The truth is like someone said its too early to criticise PMB and too late to blame GEJ, we have to move on, Like i said earlier this is because this is first time a ruling party is handing over to the opposition in aso rock, so there is lot of bad blood among politicians, so may poeple has lost out and gained also. Reason for all the accusations and counter accusations.

The earlier we all moved on, the better for Nigeria.

Happiness87:
the report shows fall in investment, simple, which is as a result of having no economic policy direction it didn't say that bakery closed down am still buying

are you aware that we are still in transition? this is the first time we having a ruling party handing over to the opposition party at the Federal Govt. level, which is different from the past where we've just been having change of personalities but the same party. That is what some of you guys fail to understand of which I don't blame anyone cos its the first time. You guys are just too much in a hurry to condemn PMB.

Normally you don't expect any business man to just start investing his money without first understanding the nature of a new party in power, trust me even you yourself will be too careful for that. You can see the various changes in appointments which won't have happened if the pdp was still in power and anybody thinking that PMB shouldn't have changed anybody does not understand party politics which affects economies all over the world and for those comparing us to America, we are still a third world country and all those obama excuse does not hold water at all.

This is the reason for the fall in investment which is only temporary as there are a lot of proposed foreign investment just waiting for the new Government to settle down because of the kind of transition that has just taken place.

Happiness87:
your propaganda sold then, it won't sell again, a soap making factory is opening at ikotun, soon courtesy youwin, i buy bread daily from a bakery who got funds from youwin, multiple people have been employed through sme's sponsored by youwin.

if you like position yourself to take advantage of government policies or join liar mohammed to spread lies, i know he's paying his media mules wella, my journalist friend is on his payroll, so Your lies don't move me, because I know what is going on


as for the automotive, enough of capital flight, if any automobile firms come up, there will be competition and the prices will drop, tomorrow you will still be the one saying Gej didn't set policies to support local firms

Ok sir, and those firms are still in operation after May 29 so good to know, then it means our economy is doing well if the bakery, soap making factory and all others are still functioning, then why is it that when there is an headline that says the economy is falling, you guys run up here to condemn PMB.

Can you see how confused and contradicting you guys are now if all what the firms GEJ supported are still in operation? so why the stress if you are truly enjoying yourself. So can we now agree that our economy is Okay and moved on to solidify it the more.

You can see we are together now and have been fighting over nothing.

bjdon:
Unfortunately if I have to explain to you how firms like MTN and Shoprite have boosted the Nigerian economy by providing direct and indirect employment, if I have to explain such a simple, obvious fact to you, then I am afraid you just don't have the ability to understand.

If your level of thinking is a reflection of the Nigerian Education system, them My God, we are really in dire straits.

Fine, am even okay with your insults sef, Mr lecturer so why are we where we are now, has mtn and shoprite closed shop? so why are we having a different statistics now in our economy, Please don't tell me because PMB is now in aso rock as people don't go to aso rock to shop or watch movies, that will be the joke of the year.

But seriously mtn and shoprite are still operating so what's wrong with our economy now, why the different numbers now?

Please am waiting as am truly enjoying your lecture

Happiness87:
i don't blame you.

do you know number of sme's that got their funds from youwin program, what of the money CBN RELEASED For SME's.

the Automobile companies nko, hahaha stop this propaganda it won't fly, even world bank has the statistics of nigeria's economic growth.

Nigerians are wiser, APC is known for lies,

sanusi was kicked out for being partisan, if NNPC had not remitted money, he should have reported duly to president to investigate as he did by inviting PWC.


if the economy is bad, then were are people getting more to invest, if there are no thriving businesses why are they registering with CAC, to pay tax.

YOUWIN was a scam, don't just mention, how many people truly benefited, we all know how things run in Nigeria, how many people got money from CBN, oya publish names of companies who benefited, If truly all these were done, I bet you GEJ would have been re-elected. Nigerians are not fools, GEJ took for us for granted and divided us along ethnic and religious lines all because he knew he could not win fairly. How many Nigerians can afford new automobiles when they have been impoverished by a looting administration, the automobile thing was to satisfy some cronies who were threatened by the tokunboh car business, even banks could not afford new cars for their employees, they started buying tokunboh and the cabal who feel threatened went to GEJ to bail them out which he did with the so called automobile policy and so how many Nigerians can now afford new cars, answer me? so how sustainable is that Policy, has it reduced car smuggling and tokuboh car sales, mhen GEJ was a bad market and the better u guys allow him to enjoy his loot in peace, the better.

Most of the investors in our bad economy are cronies of past administrations of looters and that is why they are all scared of PMB. Companies became interested to pay tax especially in states where the Governors wield the big stick for enforcement, hope you hear. We all knew why Sanusi was kicked out, in fact we know better now, forget your story and stop defending corruption

Dbboy:
I could see you love proof I guess the stock market is a clear evidence, that's if you are involved in the stock market you would really understand with me that Buhari is so pathetically bad in handling this economy for the past 3 months and as such wisdom dictates you get someone who can complement your deficiency. Buhari fails to understand that being a leader is not about knowing everything but rather get the right people for the job as it stands now Buhari has an F9 in handling Nigerias Economy.

Oh Buhari is responsible for what is happening in the stock market? so who was responsible for all that has been happening in the stock market since 2008, Buhari abi? Pls hope is the same Nigerian stock market we are talking about abi una don form another one.

Bringing up the stock market issue where everyone knows what has transpired over the years and trying to blame it on PMB is another joke of the year

bjdon:
So you are seriously coming to an online forum to say that foriegn investment in Nigeria has had no positive impact on the Economy? O boy it's not compulsory that you have to post on a thread and expose the fact that all the money spent educating you was a waste. I advise you to adopt 'Read Only' mode until you get some brains.

Alright I agree that you are more educated than me, Please can you tell me what positive impact foreign investments have had on our economy? And why do we have the present statistics or have all the foreign investments disappear between May 29 and now?

Please am waiting cos I want to know who indeed has wasted money on education.

Ndywin:
Lobbish!!! Even if the re-run is conducted a hundred times PDP will still win comfortably with a large margin as far as Akwa-Ibom State is concern. I can bet my Range Rover Jeep on this

Oga that na high risk o

Urgent warning from NAFDAC:

A dangerous new drug has been noticed in Edo State. The drug is called 'Lara Juice'.' Lara juice' is produced from the body of any Ethiopean female called 'Lara'. When consumed in high quantities, 'Lara Juice' can cause the consumer to go mad and start suffering from verbal dysentery. Anyone who has consumed 'Lara Juice' is advised to visit the nearest specialist hospital for urgent medical attention.

very dry, my guy wise up, stealing is now corruption

alcmene:
This man seems to have lost it all
Lost decorum
Lost the spirit of a former labor leader
And above all, lost his fashion sense

just because he's saying the obvious truth, may you not have hypertension in Jesus name, if you are with Nigeria's money, kindly return am o lol

ddippset:
What of Orubebe? Why is his name not there? I just wanna know how much orubebe chopped inside the money.

of course nah, you think say that drama for Jega na film trick? abi u no hear am abuse oshiomole?

IGBOSON1:
^^^Never mind what we do or don't want.....just tell your lot up north to stop making arrogant and provocative statements like say dem be Lords of the Manor! Nobody has the right to tell anyone else they MUST remain with them in the same country come hell or high water!

As long as Nigeria is exploiting the resources from Igboland we will continue demanding for equal treatment and participation in governance......regardless of our desire for self-determination!

Oh thanks for the clarification, so its actually a two point agenda, self determination and participation in governance.

Very interesting sir, so which is the most urgent one now, I think we are getting somewhere

Happiness87:
just like Liar Mohammed, lies no evidence, under Gej, GDp and investments have been on a steady rise, is people collect sidekick, its not new in Nigeria, rather do something to stop it than make noise.


i won't argue more, go to CAC let them show you the number of new SME'S from 2011 till date you will be shocked, nairaland business thread, fashion, will give you a clue better still walk into a shopping mall and see the number of locally made soaps, creams, so Many items on the rise.


you are expecting Gej to perform miracles but Buhari you will shout, give him time abi

APC AND HYPCRISY

People form companies everyday bro, what you have having is the informal sector which has been there all the while trying to get into the formal sector if you understand very well, so people started opening bank accounts for businesses that have been operating over time especially with Sanusi's cashless policy which in my own opinion worked well, still don't know why your Jona kicked him out. The so called rise in the SMEs was just because People started registering their business with CAC to be tax compliant as states began their quest to increase IGR or do you hear Govt. dashing guys money to start their business? The so called foreign investments are ripping us off so what are their benefits really, do you not complain about DSTV. GEJ was a bad manager that could not coordinate our affairs and I don't blame him cos he lacked capacity and that was why even his aides took advantage of him which has always been issues with past leaders even obj.

Its because we now have a leader who is actually in control and cannot be easily misled is the reason the elites who have been beneficiaries in the past are so scared and has misled folks like you [am sorry for this] to shout for them. Pls Let's save this country for all and not for a privileged few

amusadele:
That is the actual change. I have told Nigerians that it is only the gullible, all apc members and friends that will believe this dunce and dumbest Buhari. This Buhari and apc members are always pushed by their population, tribe and religious belief that has pulled down GEJ.Buhari is not an inch good or a high flyer. It is just the number of the northerners and the west in terms of population that has worked for Buhari.
Reasonable Nigerians are saying that the economy is not working and that Buhari, while fighting corruptions, should perform, but Buhari and apc members are saying that they will completely kill corruption BEFORE looking at other areas. According to them, corruption will not allow them to perform. It means that electricity will wait, the agric will wait, in fact every part of the economy will rot aways for as long as corruption is not completely killed. Look at the GDP which was very high during GEJ time, has been failing at a faster rate. There we go.

electricity de wait, mhen are you in Nigeria at all, Please get over it GEJ lost an election and conceded defeat, he has also moved on. No amount of blackmail can stop Buahri from fighting corruption.

we Know what you guys want, so that Buhari will stop the fight against corruption and you will get back to this platform to say that he failed Nigerians in the fight against corruption abi? all those GDP figures NOI was reeling out for you guys were for election campaign, before election NOI told us that Nigeria was not broke and that the economy was robust but after march 28, she sang a new song that Nigerians will have a very terrible year as the economy is dwindling beacuse of oil prices abi you don forget? Anyway I just reminded you.

Happiness87:
stop decieving yourself. the records are there, GDP, foreign investments increased under GEJ, SME's were springing up, even the above reports shows some 2014 figures.

the first quarter of the year was caused by uncertainties due to elections. get your facts right. the second quarter of caused by not having people to run the machineries of government eg ministers etc

and where has the so called foreign investments landed us to, has it turn Nigeria to paradise, do you know the high level of corruption that is involved in these foreign investments coming to Nigeria, do you know how much the foreign guys settled your Jona Govt before they could invest in Nigeria? that is why some of those investments has become a curse to Nigeria instead of blessings over time, we keep suffering here while foreign investors repatriate huge sums of money back to to their country with the connivance of Govt officials, no country's economy develop that way bro. How are the SMEs faring so far. Nigeria has been living a lie sir.

slimfit1:
This man above me why is it now that you are comparing Nigeria with America. Please let us use our senses properly. You are talking about America that have planed everything 200 years ago with Nigeria aba. What is he going to use to pay this people leaf. You failed to mention all corruption missing funds what is he going to use to pay those people or award contract. Have you seen the oil prices.

are you minding people who think with only half of their brains, how will the economy not fall when a lot of people have been owed salaries for months sef, abi na Buhari owe people salary for months? Purchasing power has reduced and naturally will affect the economy.

However I tell people that the economy of Nigeria is false as we do not know the true value of our economy with the corruption that has been in Nigeria for ages, a lot of goods and services are over priced because of unnecessary inflation caused by corruption.

All those NOI power point statistics she normally thrill most Nigerians except me were all a ruse. Its now with the way FG seems to want to cleanse our corrupt agencies, then we will know the true state of our economy.

juman:
The government may not be serious with the directive. It might be another propaganda.

There was one time government before talked about the withdrawal but was not serious about it.

My guy, no be this Government o! no try them o!

Reacting to ACF’s attack on Igbo leaders, the Archbishop of the Enugu Anglican Province and Bishop of Enugu Diocese, Most Rev (Dr.) Emmanuel Chukwuma, in a telephone interview with Hallmark, said that the ACF statement on Biafra is insulting, intimidating and unacceptable.

Bishop Chukwuma maintained that government in Nigeria must be all-inclusive in the true spirit of one Nigeria, adding that any attempt to marginalize the South East would be resisted. “We must get our rights; that is what we are saying. The North has ruled this country for a long time to know that the task of keeping Nigeria as one should be sustained. So, Ndigbo will continue to agitate that we must be part of the government.

He said that the insurgency in the North East and attendant killings is spiritual, and can only end soonest if the North can come out and apologise to the South East for the genocide it committed against the people during the civil war.

“The North should come out and apologise and appease the South East for the war in the North East to end in time because it is spiritual,” He asserted.

My lord Bishop, I hope you were misquoted as this must be some form of joke, a lot of folks in Nigeria has been offended or killed at one time or the other so where will the apology starts from?

Who will apologize to the families of Boko haram victims or chibok girls?

Really? I thought some fellows wan their own country, seriously this double speaking is getting so funny, today you hear we want our own country, next thing you hear we want to be part of the Government or President sef.

Its time some fellows get serious and tell us what they actually want cos am getting confused here lol

Trust me, its only the SE Governors that will have their hands full, just like what the NE Governors are facing now, Nigeria is so big that any region who feels so aggrieved and thinks they can easily sway the whole Nigeria will only find out that they are just on their own.

And the amazing thing is that when such region have their sons in Power, things don't get better in such regions e.g.

1. Obasanjo was there for eight years and the south western states didn't feel his impact, every sw state keeps bearing their own cross.
2. Jonathan was President for about six years and common Ogoni Land clean up could not be done and the entire Niger Delta is not better developed still, even Otueke has no clean water, Chai.
3. Despite all the northern leaders we 've been having, the number of primary and secondary schools alone in Lagos is more than all the primary and secondary schools in 19 northern states.

Let's think people, we need to start holding ourselves more accountable instead of blaming other people for our Limitations and lack of progress.

We have truly lost our dignity as humans in this country, the war against corruption is yet to start and what I see are elders, Priests and all manner of agbayas whining and complaining like a baby whose feeding bottle has been temporary removed from his or her mouth just to allow food digest a little.

This just shows one thing, that its been long Nigeria had a leader, what we've been having are leaders who have no balls but being controlled and manipulated by a few who wants the gap between the rich and poor to widen the more.

What a shame to hear of bishops and former leaders of this great country [ekwueme and co] being reduced to nothing but a thief who has been caught and is now begging for another chance. I weep for Nigeria.

omenka:
Exactly my thought. I've never seen such greedy elites like those in Nigeria. They would have government spend just about everything conceivable on them- I can wager save for the embarrassment of the stench of their poop, they would have had people taking poop out their assess for them so they don't have to do the pushing!

They have the money and private security firms abound, let them hire some officials if they need some.

They are also the ones against the anti-corruption drive of the present Federal Government, they are the ones also playing the ethnic and religious cards as the average Nigerian just wants good governance whether its from a muslim, christian, pagan, northerner or southerner. They are ones threatening that hell will break loose if Buhari probes anyone. They were the ones who postpone elections, fought card readers, threaten Nigerians that they will see hell if Buhari emerges as Nigeria leaders, they are the ones spoiling our pastors and priests with money, they are the ones saying that Buhari should probe Mungo Park, Lord Lugard, Jaja of opobo, ajayi crowther, murtala mohammed sef, abacha in the grave and so on if Buahri is serious against corruption.

THEY ARE THE REAL ENEMIES OF NIGERIA, BUT THE MASSES THINKS OTHERWISE. GOD BLESS NIGERIA

teejaykkr:
Nigeria in first 100days of Buhari administration.


Good news about Buhari is now coming from NTA network

Reduction of politicians faces from news line all we see now are technocrats.

Stoppage of war drum from Niger delta war lords.

No more dangerous statements coming from our politicians.

Nigerians now look at Boko Haram as bunch of misled Nigerians who are now getting their ass kicked.

Refineries are now working.

Fuel importers are now begging,

Electricity is now at an average of 12 to 15hrs a day.

Ogoni is getting cleanup,

Policing is no longer for only the rich but the poor

Check points have now varnished.

Corrupt government officials are now retiring themselves.

While others are returning their loots voluntarily.

IGR is increasing and external reserve is also rising dramatically,

Now properties in Abuja are cheaper than in many other states.

Government and all agencies are now having a single account TSA.

Our greedy banks are no longer collecting dollars deposits.

Appointment is now based on merit.

Nigerian politicians show less interest to be appointed as ministers.

For over a month there was no statement coming from the first lady and the wife of the president is traveling on commercial flights.

All this is done without a minister, is all done by one man, one mind, one soul without the interference of others.

What will happen to Nigeria after ministers are appointed?

What a change!

What a great leader!!

Sai Baba.

whoever thinks otherwise is permitted to WAIL, WAIL AND WAIL

christinie:
Importers and exporters, manufacturers, foreign students, honeymooning couples, holidaying families, tourists etc suffering because of this. Why crush the economy because you want to catch your fellow thieves? Why not use other methods to hunt them instead of paralysing the whole economy. When people were insisting on seeing certificates some of you were busy chanting "Sa!", now you see the outcome. Am so sorry for my country.

WAILERS ALERT! You have no choice, una wailing never start

From where are we importing these tomatoes sef, an easily perishable product for matter.

Where are we importing these tomatoes from before I believe this story

Some guys can't just get used to the fact the PDP is no longer in power, Mr Ozhekome, you can't have a party who is the ruling party and the opposition the same time, they must pick one.

So funny PDP wants to have a say in the appointments made by the ruling party

I think this should go to the joke section, Neymar kor, Bin laden ni

Except you are a politician, its better not to carry your career or whatever you are doing into politicians territory cos when you do, they will surely haunt you down, that is why judges, priests and all other professions, should stay out of the political arena in Nigeria.

its like entering into where pigs are, they will surely get you dirty

Truckpusher:
Any deviation from the basic tenets of democracy used in achieving a goal would only help make the resolution of anyone with dictatorial tendencies to commit crime in the future as long as he is the President all in the name of removing the evil using the necessary evil......you people should be more analytical about issues that bothers on rights and code of conduct for any powerful office such as the office of the number one citizen and not blinded by what result that is being churned out now because right now we should be talking about institutions that are tied to the constitution and not some kind of abracadabra method that won't go down well in the nearest future.

On the highlighted all you did was Blah blah blah blah blah.....with no substance to back up your argument.....could you please gimme another strategy?

Trust me, if you guys had given your beloved GEJ all these beautiful advise you just stated here, GEJ would have been re elected and become a darling to all, but for you to support all GEJ dictatorial crimes when he was using the DSS to harass the opposition which he got away with and now expect PMB to be your so called democrat abiding with your so called code of conduct that you did not remind GEJ of makes you a very big hypocrite and biased liar.

Its a simple logic, those who made mega bucks during the last administration wants to enjoy their loot in peace while those who are broke or Will go broke later will join APC. Its just the ones on the social media that are making noise

Truckpusher:
The tittle should have been : Buhari is on the move again to truncate our democracy for the second time .

You don't need to set up another court to try looters ,all you needed to do was to strengthen the existing institutions , sign the whistle blower protection act into law and let the police do their job as well as EFCC and the ICPC.Anyhing outside this is a breach of the code of conduct of the office of the Presidency and should be rejected by well meaning Nigerians and his zombies excluded anyway.
We should not allow the presidency to set up a kangaroo court that existed during the military era in this New Democratic dispensation.
I have said it and I'll say it again - Buhari belongs to the museum of Nigerian politics.

''The leopard never changes its skin'' - Firefire

The existing institutions you are talking about are too compromised to be strengthened, you think Buhari is a fool? Is it saraki and co that will pass the whistle blower act to finally expose and embarrass themselves? You are even mentioning police, mhen you are very funny.

Only few guys like you who may have benefited from looting in the past are scared by whatever means Buhari wants to fight corruption, over 90% of Nigerians are with Buhari on whatever means our stolen wealth will be recovered, all your talk of military era and code of conduct for the presidency are cheap blackmail that is no longer working. Pls come up with a better strategy
