PapaBrowne:
It is finished!!
The country is officially killed. Buhari has done it.

9.6 trillion Naira loan.

[size=13pt]
Before we even start discussing, I have just 7 questions.[/size]

1)Where is all the Subsidy savings?? Jonathan was said to have been paying hundreds of billions on subsidy.In 2013. There is supposed to be no more subsidy since the new price of N145. So where are all the subsidy savings?

2) Where is all the corruption savings? Since the previous government is accused of being terribly corrupt, and it is said that this government is corruption free, where are all the savings that should accrue from the new corruption free system?

3) Where is all the recovered loot? Why are we borrowing $10billion for reccurents when the government has boasted of recovered funds of $9 billion?

4) Where is all that 3 Trillion said to be locked up in the TSA account. Abi is the account under lock and key?

5) This government has borrowed N2.2 Trillion in the last one year. Where is that money, what was it used for and who was it given to.

6) The N9.6 Trillion in question, who are you borrowing it from. What are you using as surety. You aren't even certain anybody will give that money so why are you making plans deceiving yourself about it?

7) Finally, what the heck is your payment plan. Already we are paying almost 1 trillion for debt servicing on the meagre debt we have. If you add a gargantuan 9.6 Trillion, who is going today for that?

Buhari doesn't care because when the country crumbles he'll be too old or gone to face the consequences.

My gut feeling tells me the greatest heist in the history of Nigeria is currently going on right now under our very nostrils and except we start asking the right questions, we would not have a country to call ours in a few years from now.

Seriously, these are the questions i ask too but many of these zombies will never ever think about all these. I just wonder how people could be so sentimentally foolish. It's just terrible.

Ok, it's quite clear that many people are just afraid of this man and are plotting his downfall. The Nigerian govt should be the last group of people against this man but it seems like they are leading it. What a shame!
I think am now believing that the attack on this man is just sentimental.

Their kiss, their life, but anyway they look good together compared to him and that fat white woman.

Intrepid01:
Why do u really feel we are not taking any steps?

OMG!!! are you asking me why I feel we are not taking steps? You make me feel like an alarmist. If that's your view, then there is no need to complain about the state of the economy, there is no need to complain that a huge percentage of Fund allocation to Budget financing is being diverted in to personal coffers since 1979. There is no point to complain again about the dilapidated state of our infrastructure. There is no need to complain about the myriad of problems that ordinary Nigerians face everyday. Afterall to you, the country is doing fine.

I do not know who I am chatting with, I do not know maybe you are typing from the confines of your apartment in Banana island. But I do know that you are chatting with an average Nigerian who despite the fact that he pays Personal income tax on monthly basis yet still buys fuel on weekly basis to power his generator cos there is never light, pays for his own security because the safety of life and property isn't guaranteed, pays through periodic repairs of cars for the bad state of Nigerian roads....and on and on pays in multiple ways due to the ineptitude of some useless eediots called public office holders.......With due respect madam, we do not live in the same country....The Nigeria I live in and the states in it that I have seen isn't taking any meaningful step.

I know i appear overly optimistic in my comments, but pls dont misconstrue my words. I never said Nigeria was really doing fine per say, what i meant was that compared to fellow Black African countries, we are not doing very bad.
We all know that it seems like the black race or black african race is cursed or under a spell, (we are just naturally backward and not Nigeria alone), so that is why i compare Nigeria with only pure black african countries, (mind you, South Africa is not a pure black african country), yes i expect us to do better than all the other black african countries and even rub shoulders with other countries of the world but you cannot wish for a cat to be a Lion no matter how overgrown the cat may be.
Black Africa must move and progress together in one pace, or at least close paces, look at Europe. Don't expect Nigeria to be a Lioness when all her other sibblings of the same mother are still kittens. That would be magic and an unfair demand. There are black african countries that have more rescources than Nigeria and yet we are still ahead of them, but i believe our time is gradually coming.

Latin american nations are still very much behind despite the fact that they are older than we black africans with hundreds of years and the Europeans colonized them for a longer period and even settled with them. So why are they still behind? Except for only Brazil managing to come up?
What about the South Asian nations? Are they any better?
Thank God for the Arabs and the East Asians who have almost caught up with the Western world in development, many decades ago, nobody ever thought they would.
If you dont know where you came from, you will never know where you are going to.

Tonyebarcanista,
The best approach to break power in the North is what Yorubas have been doing silently until it was unveiled publicly recently.

There is no unity in North. There is more minority population distribution in the North than in the South. What the Northerners do is pay for patriotism. The Fulanis are suspicious of Hausas, they do not trust the Kanuris and despise the minorities but yet want to hold it all together and prevent a political common front that will oppose and displace the Fulani hegemony.

Lugard was the Governor General that amalgamated North and South, his first assignment was Governor of Northern Nigeria. He brought his power and authority from North to bear in the overall administration of the joint regions when he transitioned from Governor to Governor General. He had a style which was indirect rule. He approached the Emirs for consultation on policies that impacted public. Therefore when he left Kaduna for Lagos he did not stop getting advise and thoughts from the North, even on those policies that had nothing to do with North. He regarded them as more willing partners to cement Colonial power in Nigeria, opposed to those in South agitating for end of Colonial power. He was able to get the Emirs support and loyalty by a simple strategy. He promised to hold the gate of Christian missionary works closed and away from the Emirates. In exchange they partnered with him to make the governance of North smooth and seamless.

The Fulani Emirs are afraid of a competing faith and belief system to supplant and gain popularity in North. This is why they massacre people of Southern Kaduna, Bauchi, Plateau, Benue, Borno....and so on. They fear encroachment of Christianity. They kill off Christian men and boys and kidnap the young girls, force them into conversion and take ownership and call it irreversible. Lol.

Let's focus on how to disrupt and displace Fulani in North by raising and empowering a competitive political bloc that is under Fulani....but anti-Fulani.

They sense the increased agitation and know there is an underground force waiting to explode but they dont know where it will come from or when. This led into the hijack of bokoharam from a religious group and turned it into a terrorist group. In fact Murtala Nyako had a template of what happened and the strategy deployed in that transformation. He blamed it on Jonathan instead of accusing his people in Jalingo of sabotage. This also tie in with why they clamped down on Shiaa. There is a new brouhaha in Sokoto between Sunni and Izala,led by Gumi.

So the North is slowly imploding and we can help accelerate it.

Thank u so much for this wonderful piece. I feel like giving u a big hug. This is what most of u southernerns do not understand. Northernerns are not as united as u guys think they are. The only difference is that we northernerns know how to bury our hatchets and hatred for each other when it comes to issues of common interest.
For instance i live in Kaduna, many southernerns dont know of the kind of hatred that exists for instance between the people of Southern Kaduna (christian tribes) and Northern kaduna (hausa muslims). In kaduna city, both groups do not even live together, the great Kaduna city is highly polarized and one group is always seeking to dominate the other.
Most northern and middlebelt christians and tribes from Plateau, Kaduna, Taraba, Nasarawa, Benue, Adamawa, Kogi, Gombe e.t.c do not like hausa-fulani people, this is why u always see bloody religious and ethnic clashes between them, polarized settlements e.t.c
Hausa-fulanis only have advantage over we nothern christian tribes because they have used religion to divide us and our own brothers from our tribes who are muslims, they had the emirate system which and the british used to enslave and silent many northern minority groups.

Even among the core-northern muslims, many do not know that the Hausa-fulanis and Kanuris are not best of friends, they have strong differences.

Until you southernerns learn how to unite and divde the north, beat them to their game of divide and rule tactics, we will continue to remain where we are, cos i really dont see northern minorities uniting to break and pull out of hausa-fulani stronghold very soon.
Hausa-fulanis through the help of our british masters used and are still using divde and rule tactics on all Nigerian groups and regions.

TonyeBarcanista:
The 3% VAT is my anger. That is a lot of money. They have more states, more LGAs, more Senators, more REPS and more federal heads. Yet we are giving them more money.

LoLL, una do o.
The truth is that unless the fraudulent geo political and regional classification is redefined, Northern Nigeria will continue to have an undue advantage over the south and sadly on your own rescources.

Southernerns have to unite and severe the middlebelt minorities from the grip of the core-north or at most corner the loyalty of all northern christians or enter into some form of union with northern christians in order to divide the north, because unfortunately even the hausa-fulanis have used religion to divide the middlebelters and northern minorities and they just manipulate us the way they like.

As long as the hausa-fulanis continue to have the northern minorities and christians under their control, they shall continue to rule Nigerian affairs because as it stands it would be almost impossible for Igbos and yorubas to unite completely because both groups are grooms (majority groups) forced into one region for them to compete for territorial dominance and relevance with themselves while the Hausa-fulanis were given many 'brides and maidens' (minority groups) to force into marriage, control and made to answer their own names and clean up their own mess.

TonyeBarcanista:
And who destroyed the northeast? Why wasn't same extended to the southeast after the civil war? why aren't there commission on herdsmen?

Why can't they pull resources together and rebuild their region? Why should the rest of the country suffer? aren't they getting a lot already?

I am from the middlebelt region which has been more affected by herdsmen clashes but i can tell u that the north-east needs the money and help more.
U can never compare the destruction of herdsmen and boko haram together.

Intrepid01:
I totally agree with you on the first part. But on the part relating to comparison of Nigerian states with other states, I do not agree with you.

You know what my dear, we can keep consoling ourselves with the excuse that USA is over 200 years old and Italy is as old as the planet earth. Even if we are not where they are, are we even taking steps to get there in anytime in future? Abeg enough of this excuses

Why do u really feel we are not taking any steps?
Those cities u listed like Joburg and Kuala lumpur are just cities and not whole countries, those cities like Doha, Istanbul e.t.c are in countries which do not face terrible issues like Nigeria, they are snaller in population, mono religious and mono ethnic by nature, so u have a stronger unity in those countries which enhances peaceful living which breeds development in turn.

Nigeria is not doing too bad compared to other subsaharan african countries, although i agree that we could have done better.

LecciGucci:
I think u should say the truth the way it is.
Its always d yorubas attacking ibos here..
Ibos only defend themselves.

On d first page of this post this u see any comment throwing jab at yorubas.?
But if it were yoruba that own this innoson u do see them throwing jab at ibos and calling them all sorts of names.
Im from rivers but i observe things here and one has to say d truth.

For me i think the igbos are the ones who look for the trouble of yoruba mostly but however i don't think who started it matters, both of them are guilty and they should learn to control themselves.
Igbos and yorubas put together are not up to half of the Nigerian population, why then will they continue to disturb other people especially here on nairaland with their useless tribal attacks and feud?

Intrepid01:
Lol...@ Mr. Southerner........The large underdevelopment of the Northern region is the fault of their clueless Leaders catalyzed by the prevalent illiteracy and lack of exposure of the people. It is not the fault of the South. Every state in Nigeria receives allocation and the north cumulatively takes the larger portion of the fund. So if they are still backward because they allowed some people to siphon the public money meant for the good of all, you cant say we should allow them to again allocate another extra fund that would most likely end in the usual place.

We need to understand that the South is not even developed, don't tell me to look at it relatively. This is 2016, No state in Nigeria has the requisite amenities of a developed State, not even Lagos. So we should not let some people deceive us or deceive ourselves that the South is developed. You can pay a visit to Jo'burg, Kuala Lumpor, Stocholm, Istanbul, Doha and see the definition of a developed state. You'll see I did not even mention the 1st world countries.

We need to be wise and proactive.

Yes i agree with u. The northern leaders are a problem especially the hausa-fulanis. Those people are just controlling the whole country, all the stupid elders and leaders in my own middlebelt are just pawns and tools the hausa (northwestern) leaders use.
However even your own leaders are to blame too, many of them also sell themselves to these core-northern leaders and they are also corrupt too, if not, with the 13% derivative that is being allocated to Niger deltan states, why are we not seeing the effects except for only Akwa ibom state? See a smaller and scarcely populated state like Bayelsa they got over $7 billion allocation while my own state in the north central got only about $2 billion and it has been this way for some time now, but in terms of development, Bayelsa is not even faring better than my state, i even heard people complaining that the Bayelsan governor has not paid salaries for about 2 months, what can we say about this?

Besides i think it is not in place for you to compare Nigerian cities with South african and Asian cities, these people have a very different history and struggles from us.

Intrepid01:
You see this enmity and rivalry between the southerners will continue to hunt us for a long time to come. Northerners are always united while southerners; Yorubas, Igbos and NDeltans never unite on anything. How could you open your eyes and agree that the bulk of money made from the south (VAT) should be used to specially develop north. Do not forget that cummulatively the north takes the larger portion of monthly Federal Allocation even though the money comes from the south. I think Yorubas and Igbos most especially need to sheath their swords and fight a common enemy that is benefiting from their stupidity for a long time. I mean aw could we allow the north to take 3pct of VAT but disagreed on Lagos taking 1pct. We southerners are just fools, we pride in our education, literacy and exposure yet we are alwats taken to the cleaners by the northerners when is time to make policy and strategies. We are just fools.

Take it easy Mr Southerner. The south is still very much developed than the north. If not for Abuja the middlebelt and north east are still extremely underdeveloped. The north westernerns are the only ones really benefitting from the scheme of things. They are the brains behind every manipulation.

A Piece Of Advice To All Ladies


When you are cooking for your in-laws, especially for the first time, there is always that one voice that keeps telling you to "add more salt", "add more salt". No go try am o, na your village people handiwork, dem bin wan scatter your marriage so OoO

LOLLL, ROTF . Gosh u have made my day with this xtremely hillarious joke. Hahahaha

Just imagine?

Whether the car is indigenously manufactured or assembled, i think it is a great development. Why must Igbo and yoruba people bring tribalism into every issue about Nigeria?
Am sick of these 2 tribes seriously.

Mtcheww. Misplaced priority. What is our business with what two adults do consensually in their own rooms? There are better things and more serious crimes for the police to attend to.

omamush:

FarmTech:
2 wrongs cannot make a right. God made man the head, oyibo says no that they are equal. how can 2 captain be on a ship? if men are treating women unfairly, the right law to make shud not be extreme ones that will favor one party.

Western laws ensure equality and no one is treated unfairly. African laws are one sided and makes women to be like second class

SerRento:
The Nigerian sisters have already assimilated the prevalent culture in their new society, that's why they aren't tops in the list of women to be married. Before a Naijabet man will marry a Nigerian woman abroad who's living like oyibo, he will like marry oyibo na. Abi how you see am? Why buy fake when I can have the genuine article?

Mtcheeew, makes no sense

Avalon316:
Why do young girls have so much stretch marks and cellulites?

I think this is mostly due to the kind of creams they use. Some use harsh cosmetics on themselves.

Avalon316:
Surprisingly,its so hard to see a fit naija girl. I mean a girl who works out to have firm body with no stretch marks , cellulites etc.

You girls should check yourselves out first and thank us for ever dating you.

In my 7 years of visiting the gym, I have not seen a fit naija girl . Abi fitness Na for men only. I'm surprised a naija girl will ever open a thread about fitness.

Yes u are kinda right sha, so why dont u guys continue to set an example for the ladies to folllow? I mean, if the man is fitness conscious, his partner will have no choice than to learn from him.

lifestyle1:
It's still better for a man to have a pot belly than ladies having

How can u say that when women get pregnant, give birth and nurse children? This will naturally affect their body shapes, but nevertheless it is not an excuse for them to regain their shape later on, but at least they have a genuine reason for the distortion of their natural shape.
What reason do men have other than excessive drinking, laziness to hit the gym and improper dieting?

femi4:
Pot belly and proud!

if its hereditary.....you can't stop it

Well u are wrong. It's not possible for pot belly to be hereditary. No scientific or medical reason or condition like that.
