Same template with non-Libyans hyping ghadaffi meanwhile you hardly meet any real Libyan that has anything positive to say about him.

Over 6000 were crossing every day Today it's less than 200.It didn't require a bipartisan bill as Joe Biden claimed.
Whatever you do with that information is upto you.

So they watch illegals cross and count them?

What's the data collection method?

Roland17:
The bigger questions are

Can Raumdeuter block Sleekdot?

Can Iamoyindamola block Sod09?

Can Ibime block Ibeme?

Na Swiz123 I want block but I'm waiting for Conte to win Serie A first

BREAKING: President Trump has secured more than $5.2 trillion in total investment, much of it tied to tariffs, trade policy, and a push to re-shore key industries, according to the White House.

basilico:
A friendly reminder about immigration bipartisan bill.
For four years Kamala Harris was the designated border Czar. Had she won many would be crossing illegally today while she is spouting bipartisan utopia.
Border crisis was a deliberate invasion. 100%.

Manipulated figures since they can't match even Obamas deportation numbers

How do you count illegals at the border if they are illegals. So the border force will be counting them instead of arresting them? This has always been a number where you write whatever you want based on estimates

So Yamal father is a Madrid fan yet he registered his Son at Barcas Academy. I don't even know what to call that.

If he lives in Barcelona why not. Distance to Madrid is far na

Roland17:
Baba, my position on your takes is based your history of defending Buhari in a bid to slight your kinsman. I don’t think anyone remotely thinks Jonathan should be likened to the 2nd coming Desmond Tutu, however, your compulsion to denigrate your kinsman while excusing a total failure like Buhari is what I object to.

I struggle to see how you have refused to take into account the despicable levels of corruption that happened under Buhari. The numerous pardons of criminal elements that drained our country or the nonsense Mefi did!

Under this same Buhari we had our worst ranking using the Transparency Index but somehow, the sins of your kinsman trump Buhari’s and must be used to constantly excuse his failures.

You are also a voltron along with BlueRay so this is to be expected.

My criticisms of Buhari and Meffy are numerous but they pass without comment because there is hardly any Voltron on the other side to turn it into a long argument.

See how discussion of singular issue of ECA $50bln branched into several other issues to do with Buhari like border closure, barrels per day etc outside the scope of the discussion because voltrons must defend without even knowing that I agree with most of those arguments but is not relevant to the discussion we are having.

Buhari and Tinubu are cursed several times a day and nobody starts defending them except Raum and Oasis, sometimes Glorious. Sometimes I even jump in to correct APC voltrons when their defence is laughable.

But let someone mention Jonathan once, and the Voltrons will turn it into 2 days argument and start deflecting and arguing other things wey no join. How easy is it to see $50bln take flight and just be quiet and accept it's a monumental and most material fvck up? For context, that's 2.5 years of Nigerias budget eaten in one night back then. I mean, there are no words to describe the unforgiveability of that crime. Almost everything since then is pennies in comparison and chopping within Nigeria's yearly budget which we mostly don't generate the revenue to achieve.

Ibime:
It can't be far from the truth, regardless whether the numbers are exact or not. All I know is our foreign reserves are on paper only, that's why they are scrambling around for 3bln to protect Naira

Central banks are supposed to be independent for a reason. Emefiele really should be jailed for life for abuse of public trust at the very least

Roland17:
Ibime’s personal bias against his kinsman is obvious and truthfully I sort of understand. This bias causes Ibime, irrespective of the circumstance or topic to defend and paint a failure like Buhari with lipstick. He expected more from kinsman but that never justifies his constant glorification of a failure like Buhari.

I have only made 2 comments specifically on the ECA but as usual the PDP voltrons (Flint and Livelong) cannot see a comment about Jonathan without trying to defend and discuss Buhari.

I am simply a numbers man, a patriotic Nigerian who DGAF about us vs them politics. I have put myself on the line exposing some things I'm privy to about Buhari to Sowore and had to wipe my phone and all contacts with Sowore when he was arrested the next week for publishing the stuff I gave him. I no dey carry anybody for head.

In terms of pure numbers. Jonathan is the most profligate President in Nigerias history and the man who had the one opportunity to smoothen out financial headwinds we have faced over the last 10 years but wasted it, plus wasted the one that was handed over to him to store up for our future. The ECA he inherited at $50bln should have been $100bln plus by the end of his tenure given oil prices throughout his tenure, yet we entered oil downturn in minus. I can't keep repeating myself about Buhari who was a very poor President. Conversation is back-and-forth. I have criticised Buhari severally without comment, but PDP voltrons won't allow me drink and drop cup when discussing Jonathan without turning it into a long argument hence giving you the impression I am partisan.

Ibime:
Presidents are often hostage to Business Cycles, not the cause of them

A President should be rated according to his reaction to either an upturn or downturn in a Business cycle and both Jonathan (upturn) and Buhari (downturn) performed woefully for their part of the business cycle

Neither of these Presidents control the price of oil which determines Nigeria's Business cycles.

During Jonathan time, the expectation was either he bolsters savings or building out of industries that will propel future growth. He did neither

During Buhari times the expectation is belt tightening and instead he became more profligate than Jonathan on ill advised infrastructure that won't achieve much ROI. Nigeria will be paying debts incurred under Buhari for decades.

We have been very unfortunate with leaders since OBJ

GloriousGbola:
that is the really painful thing about GEJ's admin. there was /;is NOTHING to show for it. las las militants and the likes of kola aluko got rich. add pastor bling bling and his private jet used for gun running $15million usd. also chris aire.

infrastructure? just the usual empty promises. yes, buhari was a fk up - but he actually gave the ibos who love to hate him the second niger bridge. it was in his administration they finally fixed apapa oshodi expressway.

I'm talking about a specific drawdown of the ECA in one night, a one time heist, not the recurring chopping of the above which they all do

BlueRayDick:
The way u despise Jonathan ehn, one would think Jonathan was a failure and Buhari was the Messiah . Sometimes u make it seem like Jonathan failed on all fronts but Buhari was an “okay “ president .



Below was what Jonathan answered when he was asked about the ECA depletion under his tenure.

If the governors are asking him to draw from the funds to meet government’s financial obligations and indeed there is no place in Nigerian laws for the FG to keep the reserve , why then make it seem like he drew from the reserve to “bribe “ fellow politicians when he was using it to sort bills like the subsidy ?

I don't care what Jonathan said as excuse for sharing $50bln of the nations wealth with cronies at midnight on Dec 31st 2009 while the Nation was distracted with New Years eve celebration, something none of his predecessors did. The timing of the crime when National press is on holiday shows it wasn't done with clean hands despite the lamba above.

National finances are like a water tank. The day your tap stops running is not the day you should only vex for who bath that morning, but who has been running the tap for weeks until the water was low. WTF are we talking about $1bln here, $2bln there, $3bln Afrimex loan to help us stabilise Naira, when someone blew $50bln? The FX backlog we have been struggling with and spent the last 2 years clearing at great effort and strain on the Nation is just $7bln. Compared against someone who blew $50bln on nothing, in the voice of Chief Priest, "money na water".

Wetin short people do you?

I just dey warn young men of the dangers of marrying short woman. See as Patrick Kluivert turn generational height into dwarfism because of totolitarianism

All 3 Judges scored 116-112 for Eubank

Them done pay these Judges

The fight na clear draw

Best fight I've seen in years

Both men with the heart of a lion protecting their fathers legacies

Chris pushed himself to the brink of death in the last two rounds, throwing hundreds of punches

I'm calling a draw

They must give us Part 2

The last 6 rounds have been mad

Chris showing heart of a lion in the last 2 rounds

This fight deserves a rematch

Benn up by 1 with 1 round left

Benn up by 2 with 2 rounds left

This fight hot, slightly in favour of Ben by one round after 9 rounds

This is going to 2nd fight unless someone gets knocked out

Connor 3-1 after 5

Connor has taken 3 out of the 4 rounds so far

The drug cheat accusation against Connor must be true, he get too much energy and aggression

2nd round to Connor

Connor agidi too much, small guy with stronghead

First round draw

Nigel Benn shouldn't have married short woman, see as he height his son to pieces

Just like Patrick Kluivert who was 6 ft 3, married short woman and produced Justin Kluivert at 5ft 7

Connor Benn is too small to fight Eubank, I hope this won't turn out to be a promotion scam

WriterNig:
At the end of the war, everyone will be shocked to find out the actual number of Americans & Europeans who have died in Ukraine.

Now we know why Trump and European leaders are always lamenting and holding millions of meetings to look for a way to "force" Russia to end the war or at least pause it so they can restock their armory.

He died fighting for Russia. A foolish Putard given a well deserved send off. Waste of valuable oxygen

Buhari run this country street!

https://www.nairaland.com/8409767/nigerias-excess-crude-account-balance

That account was already dead and $72m to $0 is not a story for anyone who keeps abreast of the Nations numbers.

Jonathan met that account at $50 billion and ran it to $4bln immediately by sharing it to the Governors so they can support his elevation to Presidency. That is the original sin and the death of the concept of ECA. Buharis Government never earned above the benchmark price of $70 till the end of its tenure by which time ECA had been killed.

Nigerians have problems with numbers generally and the lack of anger over the treatment of the ECA under Goodluck Jonathan is a perfect example. It's the same reason we could no longer afford the fuel subsidy because Jonathan had used the ECA to bribe his way into power. So we entered larger and larger debts to pay for subsidy that we comfortably paid from the ECA before.
