QuotaSystem:
Is it not then mind bendingly puzzling that the secessionist people that claim to be better than the cattle people have now shamefully abandoned their beerfraud hero in prison and are now struggling to suck the cocks of Atiku, one of the cattle people?

What a confused bunch of hypocrites they are.

QuotaSystem:
Do wailers and Nnamdi Kanu Atiku iPods copy?

The Jagaban of Borgu is going nowhere, and is remaining with President Buhari to guide the great party to further exploits.

I REPEAT, Tinubu has vowed to remain with the winning alliance that retired the Otueke drunkard permanently from Aso Rock. The icing on the cake is that the idea of a mega party of expired criminals has hit the rocks of conflicting interests and the proposal is undergoing its final burial rites. It is now imperative for Aketi to bury the hatchet and recognize Tinubu as a party leader so that the healing process in the SW can be catalyzed. Ekiti watch out.

Let's hope all the propaganda of replacing Osibanjo with the corrupt Orji Uzor Kalu will be finally rested, and the iPods can return to their regular programming of chanting Beerfraud or death.

Sai Tinubu
Sai Baba
Sai APC.

My dear brother, oil price hasn't averaged for 110. Doll/bbl since I can remember (at least since 2012). So I nor know where u get ur info from. Secondly if ur asking who saw d biggest price slump percentage den it was d previous administration cuz prices fell from 102$/bbl in Jan 2014 to 52$/bbl by March when dey left. Dats a whooping 50% decrease. So u see... don't just throw data from ur rear end.

Hedonistically:
Without due respect, you sound very foolish.

"No businessman will give such an amount to a judge without something attached"... Is this a statement of fact or a very ridiculous and baseless presumption? Which law forbids anybody, judge or not, from receiving gifts or soft loans from friends or relatives?


So because I'm a judge, my billionaire brother or old friend cannot 'dash' me N100 million without something attached? Is it not the duty of the lazy and incompetent EFCC to investigate whether 'something was attached' or not? If they cannot find evidence of a criminal 'something attached', then they have no case - even if the gift or so-called loan was $1 Billion!

24 months?

We are looking at 5-10 years. You think it's easy to bring back foriegn investors from where they have settled in Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, Ivory Coast and the rest?

What assurances do they have that in another 4 years time, Nigerians won't be filled with hate and tribalism of the South East/ South South and undo what has been done?

5-10 years, Bro. And that's if Nigeria has a good leader.

Goke7:
You are just emotional, just one year in office and you have turned from a so called big supporter to something else If your earthly father was the President and we have this economic mess, na so you go deny your father abi? you were never a supporter so chill.

Goke7:
Let's get real bruv, Patience and his wife GEJ would never be charged to court, we are not matured as a nation for that now sentiments upon sentiments will never allow that to happen.

There is also the sentiment that in order not to encourage african presidents to perpetuate themselves in power, its better when they quit office, we allow them go with their loot. its so sad but that's the truth. If just an invitation to Tompolo to come to court and defend himself has made the whole Niger delta go mad then imagine what will happen if madam pieces is in court. I think the disgrace that she came out to say its her money is enough.

We are not even a developing nation, we are under-developed which is even an understatement

sankky:
Distractions from the policy incompetence. Try her in the court of law if u truly have any evidence and not on the pages of newspapers just to distract us

I still find it funny that most people don't know why Nigeria economy went into recession, they love the incompetent lies of Lai Mohammed about the past government ruining everything.

It's also myopic to think that if Jonathan were to still be in power, we would be worse off.

The truth about Nigeria's recession is this; it was caused by the president's unguided rhetoric and uncultured body language.

Firstly, there is nothing we are buying today that we weren't buying 5 years ago, therefore it's not our purchase that put pressure on Naira but withdrawal of funds by foreign investors.

After the election, the president created instability with his unguided statements about how everyone is corrupt and how everyone is going to jail. The instability made foreign
investors to liquidate their investment and change their money to dollars. In the process of trying to flee, they were willing to buy dollars at any price, which lead to high exchange dollar rate.

Even though some of them were not ready to run away, but want their money in dollars to save their investments from devaluation, the president gave a bad signal by banning deposit of foreign currency into dormiciliary accounts. That was enough for free market believers to see the draconian handwriting on the wall, that was the beginning of dollar rush.

To make matters worse, the president came up with another outrageous policy of rationing dollar to certain sectors and blocking many sectors out. That was the nail in the coffin which facilitated the emergence of free FALL.

In the end, foreign investors took
over $80B out of the economy within a short period and everything went down to free fall.

To those who believe it will be worse if Jonathan is still there, you are all wrong. Policy continuity and political stability will not let billions of dollars leave our shores within such tiny time frame. Even though the government might have income shortage, the private sector will weather the storm by their confidence in the market.

The fear of the unknown created by PMB is responsible for the economic downturn not low oil price. Interest rate in America is currently at 0.5% while it is 12% in Nigeria. JP Morgan Chase will not mind borrowing $50 billion from Feds at 0.5 and put in Nigeria for return of %2000 profit.

Citi bank will do the same, likewise US Bank Corp. Chase gave Buhari warning about the repercussions of his fixing policy before they pulled out, but his illiterate cyber warriors and misseducated e-soldiers said JP MORGAN can go to hell, they no longer believe in economic metrics since their messiah is in charge.

Funny enough they are all suffering today because of the stupid policy, but they find relief by blaming it on past administration and Gucci appetite of average Nigerians.

For your information, if your president "kontunu" with his unguided rhetoric, Naira will go down to N1000/1 $. But we thank God, he is no talking less now.

WHY IS THE GOVERMENT TARGETTING ONLY CHRISTIANS FROM THE SOUTH ESPECIALLY THOSE CLOSE TO FORMER PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN. WHERE THERE NO KEY NORTHERNER IN HIS GOVERMENT THAT CAN BE PROBE?

WHY DONT THEY PROBE TURAI YARADUA TO COMPLETE THE PERIOD, WHY STOP AT PATIENCE GOODLUCK?
WHAT OF THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS WIFE, THE FORMER GMD NNPC, GOVERNOR OF CENTRAL BANK, MINISTER OF FCT, TRANSPORT, COMPTROLLER GENERAL OF CUSTOMS, EFCC BOSS, FORMER GOVERNORS FROM THE NORTHERN STATES ETC.
WHY IS THERE NO PROGRESS IN THE CURRENT PROBE OF THE FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICER EVEN AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR INTO IT, WHY HAS NO ONE CALLED THE FORMER MINISTER OF DEFENCE FOR QUESTIONING TILL DATE, JUST AS THEY HAVE BEEN CRITICIZING OKONJO IWEALA OR DIEZANI?

CORRUPTION IS BAD AND SHOULD BE TACKLED ABOVE BOARD IRRESPECTIVE OF RELIGION, RACE OR ETHNICITY.
NEPOTISM AS IS BEING PRACTICED BY THE CURRENT GOVERMENT IS ONE OF THE WORST FORM OF CORRUPTION. WITH NEPOTISM YOUR BROTHERS, PEOPLE OF THE SAME ETHNIC, RELIGIOUS AND POLITICAL GROUPS ARE SAINT WHY OTHERS ARE CRIMINALS AND MUST BE NEUTRALIZE.

KingOfAmebo:
I was initially interested in reading the post so I click on it...but to my disappointment it was posted by a senior general of Zombies so I immediately lost interest, PassingShot has nothing to say about how his hero Buhari is leading Nigeria into recession for the second time in our history as a nation and on both occasions of the two recessions Buhari is in power...this is not a mistake but a curse. Anyone supporting Buhari is responsible for the hunger in the land.

I hope people don't make the same mistake in voting for Buhari come 2019 else we will be heading into the third recessions in our history under his stewardship...a word is enough for the wise.

_{zombies like you will never see any thing wrong with the dullard foolhardy bubu with regards to his obstinate posture regarding the issue of niger delta/IPOB. we all know that oil price has plunged greatly but the current low crude oil supply should be blamed on this dullard.you zombies are the ones cheering and urging him to level the agitators and militants so you can continue to drink niger delta oil.now i ask u how market? if the dullard is wise or has wise counselors he would have known that dialogue is the way to go.he wouldn't have been wasting our human and material resources prosecuting his evil and meaningless military campaign in the region.}

idris4r83:
was wondering after reading it myself.

lastpage:
So, you are telling us that Banks colluding with Civil Servants to steal Govt earnings and Buhari putting a halt to it (even though the TSA policy was initiated under Jonathan but he did not have the honesty and balls to implement it), is what threw Banking and Financial sector into turmoil?
If that is true the they were never a bank but thieving outfits. They need to die in that turmoil.



First, you dont make foreign exchange, you EARN IT.
The major way Nigeria EARNS forex is through sale of Crude oil.
Under GEJ it was as much as $130/Barrel.
Just when Buhari took power, it went down to as low as $28, through no fault of Buhari. it was a global problem.

So, Nigeria was not earning forex but Nigerians want to import everything from tooth-pick, to Biscuits, to shoes.
But when we were earning loads of forex, Jonathan and his gang of thieves were looting it into foreign banks. They did not save for the rainy day nor invest in local production of those basic things we are importing.
Those people whose business is mere importation (not real production of goods) are the ones crying because they are there only to waste our scarce forex.
How can a country grow when its economy is based on mere importation? I know my Biafra brothers are guilty of that but they like to shift the blame on Buhari



[b]There is nothing Buhari has said about Nigeria, that people abroad dont already know.
Is it in Asia where they arrest and sentence Nigerian to death on a daily basis that Buhari wants to tell them about the Drug pushing of some Nigerians?
Is it the foreign banks abroad, were they see the stash of looted money, that Buhari wants to tell them anything new, about the stealing, looting and corruption of Nigerians (not all)?

Is it the Internet were you have hundreds of thousands of stories making the rounds about kidnapping, Boko Haram, violent robberies, e.t.c, that foreigners are already reading, that Buhari can tell them something they have not read online before or do you think these "investors" are as dull as some of you that only read Tontoh Dike and Tiwa Savage CLEAVAGE on the internet?

Buhari is just showing them that these administration will be honest and not pretend everything was fine, unlike the previous one of Jonathan and they are sure convenient with the truth, more than obvious LIES[/b]



These is a very funny reason!
So, in your brain, you think the Niger Delta is equal to the whole of Nigeria?
So, assuming projects are halted in the ND but not in the remaining parts of Nigeria, that should lead to recession, huh?
Abeg, wake-up. the ND is just less than 15% of Nigeria so its effect (assuming it is true, but we know that Buhari has initiated new projects and even restarted abandoned ones in the ND) will be minimal on the country.
Pipeline protection is a SCAM that created riches for plain CRIMINALS.
Our Military are paid huge sums to protect the country, we will not sub-contract their work to militants. End of story.
The recession is as a result of dwindling revenue and sabotage (Pipeline vandalization especially) by the same people blaming Buhari. We know them



The facts in this assertion are mostly true but then, if the WHOLE country mostly depends on Oil and some greedy tribes think they should arrogate a National property to themselves ONLY, just because it gushes out from their Region, do oyu not think it is smart of the President to also look for the same thing in his own region, incase we really need to "break-up"? Or do you want his region to be shortchanged and then forced to go to war to share in the oil?
Finding Oil in the North will make Nigeria's break-up easier, less bloody and faster.
It will also make the ND less important and we can tell them to go to blazes, which is what l think they are calling for.



[b]Look, even a blind person can see that PDP, especially under Jonathan, were just busy looting the resources of this country and they led us to where we are today.
Jonathan single-handedly supervised the destruction of this country.
From corruption, to violent crimes like kidnapping and armed robbery, to ritual killings, e.t.c, Jonathan's administration under his PDP party encouraged glorification of MONEY, debasing of our moral values and the 'get Money at all cost' mentality which leads to violent crimes without any form of compassion for fellow humans.
Under Jonathan, it was all just about getting Money at all or ANY COST.
So, any serious Govt cannot build its legacy on that history and house of corruption. Jonathan is just lucky that we are not under a military agenda otherwise, like Lt. Jerry Rawlings did in Ghana, all those PDP and some APC looters would just have been lined-up and shot by the miliatry, for economic subversion/sabotage.
if that happened, we wont be saddled with the likes of Saraki and Dogara and their band of budget-padding syndrome[/b]



[b]There are some problems that dialogue cannot solve.
There are some people that dont understand dialogue except they are pressured into it or dont have an alternative.

Some of the problems we have are like Hostage-taking and blackmailing, those kind of problems understand ONLY FORCE.
for example, a kidnapper will blackmail you for money and keep doing so, if he is sure he can get away with it. You need force to put a stop to it.
Same goes for Militants (we have dialogued with them, sent them abroad for re-training in the last ten years, gave them jobs, e.t.c but it is obvious that they just want to be milking other hard-working Nigerians, till eternity).
Look at Boko haram as well/ if they want to dialogue with Govt, they have all the opportunity but they are Religious fanatics who want to create a caliphate within Nigeria. They are rapist and kidnappers, murderers of the innocent.
So, the Govt has a right and duty to protect its citizens from such criminal organisations, using all means necessary.

The strategy is that to deal with criminals is that they wont negotiate until they are certain the other option they have is total annihilation.
So, like the Americans will do, you pound the enemy (soften them) to the point were they have no other choice than to negotiate.
That makes negotiation easier.
That is what Buhari is doing.
Now that the various criminal gangs saw that Buhari is investing seriously in 'serious weapons' and the Military is being re-positioned to fulfill its role to the nation, some of them are beginning to see the wisdom in negotiation.

I have decided to break it down for you so that misguided people like you dont think you are saying something meaning full, when you write such gibberish online.
Go back to school please.[/b]

You, definitely, are ignoring the antecedents to the 60% loss. Would it have been a 60% loss if Niger Delta was peaceful and there was no NDA? Would it have been a 60% loss if a more gradual approach was used to implement the TSA?
