NIGERIANS!

GMB IS GETTING IT 100% RIGHT. You are all frustrated because of the currency and importation policy. Our dollar reserve MUST be conserved and protected otherwise you will be eating each other in 2 years time.

We have never had SMEs in Nigeria, just bunch of crooked importers. We cannot afford the empty showoff and braggado lifestyle we have come to regard as normal.

Godwin616:
One of the greatest undoing of this administration is the quality of men he assembled in his cabinet.OBJ and GEJ got better team but corruption scandal cast a big shadow over their achivement. A technocrat in form of Aganga,Adeshina,Pat Utomi etc is what we need to move this country forward. We don't need politicians, they can't help us. If we have seasoned economic team in place am sure we won't be where we are right now.

Total nonsense you wrote up there. There is NO other solution other than to start producing the very stuff we love to consume. An import dependent, retailer & trader economy is "pie in the sky" economy. NOI seriously swindled Nigerians with her Ugwu statistics. We have nothing to sell to the world to earn dollar. Oil is the only product and oil price is bust.

You call and assemble all the PHDs in the whole world but that will change nothing.

RUBBISH - There is no history or record of a monarch in Ibo land!

That is a recorded FACT!!

Primitive beings!!! (Tribe name not mentioned)

Nonsense

everydayperson:
May the God they worship Redeem them to his Glory

I would have preferred that he saved them for their families. I am developing serious doubts for this God sef, honestly.

Caveatemptor:
This small car naa him dis pastor dey advertise when his mates are giving thanks to the Lord for their third private jet....
On a more serious note the collection of tithes and offerings by the church/pastors is the greatest scam ever invented by mankind to fleece mankind.

Nigerian people with their fish brain. Name me just 1 person in Nigeria you know or heard about who is on his 3rd private jet?

Useless fantasists!

Why are these flat..heads all over us like a bad rash

Why do we have to keep welcoming everyone from the erosion ravaged territory, WHY?

1stCitizen:
Please note that I am not arguing with you but lecturing you. Please keep your Arsenal analogy for the intellectually deficient few. Since you mentioned Arsenal, let me take the UK for an example.

The defence of provocation is found in the Homicide Act 1957.

"Provocation is some act, or series of acts done (now includes words)... which would cause in any reasonable person and actually causes in the accused, a sudden and temporary loss of self-control, rendering the accused so subject to passion as to make him or her for the moment not master of his or her mind."

The requirements of the defence of provocation under this Act 1957 are:


1. The defendant must have been provoked to lose their self control. Someone fvcking your wife on your bed and in your house is a provocation

2. The provocation must be such as to make a reasonable man do as the defendant did. Someone fvcking your wife on your bed and in your house is enough to make you do the unreasonable.

Note that there is no requirement in the Act 1957 that the provocative act was deliberate or aimed at the victim(Your ManU jersey example is dead on arrival). Some lawyers have even taken this further like a case of extreme noise causing the defendant to murder the noise maker

Like I said I would prefer you remain ignorant as it takes time to school others not willing to learn

How is the word REASONABLE defined in this context? Most of these acts and murderous responses to jealous rage are done out of bruised ego. It is usually not because anyone has been harmed? And moreover a lot of people have experienced this kind of event and they have just simply walked away!

Kgdavid:
Even your provocation argument is tenuous.

Provocation is when someone does something to you with the intent of provoking a response from you.

An example of provocation is wearing Manchester utd jersey to a bar full of Arsenal supporters and singing songs to taunt them after they lost the Champions league final.

Sleeping with ones wife while one is away is not provocation given that you did not intend for the man to find out and that is why you did it while he was not there.

thank you sir.

Thank you for this. Wow! I learned something important today. So it has to be something done deliberately to provoke a reaction. Thanks bro.

Killing an intruder in my house is never a crime in any law after all he attacked me. Always an adage that says "never fight a man in his home".... Secondly on top of his wife? On his bed? Hmmm igbokwe thumb up for proving your self a real man. If I dare see a man in a hotel with my wife trust me will kill the man and the woman and damn the consequences after all Bible do condemned it

Unreasonable and usual for dem dem people. You serve a lengthy jail sentence for what exactly? When would Nigerian men realise that you don't and can never OWN a woman? Ok you paid a dowry so what? Were you forced to pay the dowry? Did the family invited you to come and pay the dowry? Did the family discuss or agreed the OWNWERSHIP of their daughter? If you like acquire the whole of Abuja City and give it to a woman she would do what her instinct tells her.
Invest not more than what you can afford to lose on a woman (even if called your wife).

Victor however deserves to die.

Can all these intra culture marriage withstand pressure?

Abuja indegenes!!! You have my full support. If they want or seek no mans land they should go find it in the sea.

Newmanluckyman:
... Surprise? No! They dullards are in charge. Thanks to APC AND BUHARI for this great feat. Build and consolidate on the existing structures the met on ground they refused.. Oya add a cubic to it, they blame Ghost.

Please elaborate on the structure found on ground? Shebi the refineries, the power stations, the factories running 24 hours and dollar reserve savings, the paid federal salaries and pensions, abi the town-to-town toads across the country, abi our airline and shipping line? Oya please elaborate and please don't mention Ugwu export or the largest economy scam left over by ya sister.

waxxydude:
@guyXander, i raised this issue about two months ago, everyone just hid their faces. It sounds all good, but what'd be the possible effects? Naira is currently volatile.

I really wanna see this happen though.

Why the hell are Nigerians surprised by the current economic malady? Where were they when GEJ and NOI were flushing our reserves down the drain? The Naira is going in one direction only - down! It isn't even volatile.

PaulIdu:
Re denomination is beautiful nonsense it will only make sense to those that have their wealth stored in foreign currency but those having their wealth stored in Nigerian banks will lose out initially when the zeros are removed ..the only pro for rede nomination is the in the ease transporting cash and the atmosphere of sanity it will give (it's embarrassing when you go and price a car and they tell you 70 million naira) ..Lastly if we must take this option we must never take it under the leadership of General Buhari because if we do we might have to redenominateagain pretty soon .

When was the last time you or anybody you know priced a 70m Naira car? Yeye!

Iweala's Ugwu 419 GDP and rebasing unraveling. Foolish Nigerians busy showing off with Range Rover and holidays in Dubai wasting and throwing away precious dollar reserves. The Flatttties should not be allowed anywhere near our reserves. Call themselves importer not knowing they are importing poverty and lack in the long run.

[size=16pt]I hope they have stopped having children - that's my only concern. We have no business nor deserve having children[/size]

Acidosis,
I remember a very memorable quote of yours.
The one in which you wrote
" Common sense is your enemy " ( when it comes to religion) .

With that quote in mind, I see clearly where you're coming from.


Now, back to the issue.

In every nation, there are always a small minority of people who exist and live on the fringes of lunacy. These are not policy makers nor people who influence the direction of national policies.

Joel Olstein, T.J Jakes, Benny Hinn, Crefto Dollar, etc, are the similar set of charlatans that feed fat on the people on these fringes.

Now, here is the problem.

In Nigeria, the far majority of the population are beholden to magical thinking, and are permanently stationed on the fringes of lunacy.

For charlatans like Kumuyi and Oyedepo, these are inexhaustible resources to mine and exploit for huge profits.

In the countries that you mentioned above, men and women whose worldviews are anchored on magical thinking are not allowed to filter through their systems and occupy positions where they make decisions that affect the entire populations.

Aside from being daylight money fraudsters, these two men spread a horrible mental disease that takes many many generations to cure.

Wow!!! Thank you sir! I have the same viewpoint and wish u could articulate clearly what you put up there. There is a magical celestial force driving our truly unintelligent people to their early demise. Our future is indeed bleak, beyond redemption.

I smell something........gosh where did that fishy smell come from?

anonimi:
Thanks a lot for the free education on the three year tenure of LGA public servants. I guess this is what the constitution stipulates.
However it is gross INCOMPETENCE for the governor not to organise ELECTIONS on time for the replacement of the incumbents by the voters. Don't you think so too
Why should WE allow ourselves to be DEPRIVED of direct representation at the LGA level?
Why

What is troubling you Igbo bastard people? What is so wrong with your ancestral land that you have to come all the way, deep into Yoruba territory to be making claims? Abi we are going to continue like this until we go to war ni? There is clear demarcation and this is Yorubaland. No other tribe despite their numbers are giving us this headache. Abi your gods in Igboland swear for you people ni?

Thunder fire anybody who is not happy with dis news!
