DanNafada: Really?!

Talk about celebrating mediocrity indeed:

1.[s]The health sector is in it's worst state for decades.[/s] I have been to the Teaching Hospitals and FMCs in Kano, Lagos, Ondo, Jigawa, Ogun states within the past year....TOTAL NONSENSE.

2.[s]The public educational sector is almost non-existent.[/s] Are the schools not operational? Besides each school has a governing body...go ask them what they've been doing with allocated funds.

3. Security is dire. If you were a Boko Haram member...chances are you'd either be in a CELL or you'd be DEAD right now...

4. Corruption is ever blooming. Beer parlor talk. Gov. Sule Lamido's son was recently jailed for money laundering...one of the demands of the New PDP is for GEJ to peddle down EFCC's investigations...

5. [s]The EFCC has been rendered completely useless.[/s] GEJ should flog the EFCC Chairman for not arresting his opponents right?

6. [s]The fuel subsidy/importation scam continues unabated.[/s] Where were you when NUPENG and the majority of Oil Importers wanted to strike because their payments where being delayed....because NOI deemed it fit to go through every claimed import...don't also forget that the scam started before GEJ and it only came to the forefront only during this time as president.

7. The Danbaba Suntai and Rivers debacle. Not sure what this is

8. [s]The billions being wasted on Delta ex-militants.[/s] Even an APC President would be extremely foolish to stop the amnesty program abruptly.

9. Diezane Alison-Madueke. this one na bad belle.

[s]10.The aviation industry is at it's worst (while every governor/senator and his houseboy have private jets)[/s] You are totally wrong here...the Enugu International Airport is up and running...major airport terminals around the country have been renovated...go buy your own jet if you can afford it...

[s]Despite all of above, you want us to believe we should have another four years of this edyot and his henchmen? Because they have repaired a few roads and rail links?[/s] GEJ's FG has repaired roads and reconstructed railway links worth billions of $$$$...WITHIN A 2 YEAR PERIOD O.

Really?

roxell120: wen I look at fixing nigeria frm Mr presidents view point I shed tears of helplessness. who are u going to work with nd trust him without doubt. who is going to help drive ur dream of transformation? our constitution makes it impossible to choose those u trust their competence and capabilities cos ministers must be nominated from all states whom the president cant vouch for their allegiance, capability nd trust.if he reshuffles them to inject competent hands it slows policy formulation nd implementation while the clock is ticking nd nigerians are crying and stoning for result.changes of these ministers are majorly viewed to be political and stirs a lot of debate. to me jonathan has been lucky to work with few ministers who are willing to give his administration good credibility eg aviation, finance(engine room),agriculture, works, and others.I pray this permitation of his will definitely deliver to us our much expected development.

lekea4: is it the FG that imported umbrellas or the PDP? AND if its the FG what the hell do we need umbrellas for in this country?

leighcon: ^^
Well perhaps some improvement, I don't have the metrics to compare with the previous regime, but the Agric Minister is passionate and has ideas.

My suggestion has always been, let government stick to policies and incentives that addresses challenges being faced. That is, let us see the farmer's efforts and then we would aid you where you might want to fall. If you produce, I can create market for you, if you have issues with land, we can give you freehold as long as you are producing, if you are importing equipment we can give you tax waivers etc.

Hard work gives rest of mind unlike jobbing I'd keep mum there.

The NEMA case........ well dude is like 15 years older than me, so I treated it in the best way I could. Not to be discussed here.

omonnakoda: Which logic is that one ? Ibo logic ,Zulu logic or korean logic ?

leighcon: @Awodman, @rainbowman, @Berem, @Obiageli

I equally monitored the summit myself, let me mention that I've always been an Aregbe man(so you could sieve my bias if any) not withstanding let us look at this issue this way;

The objective of government in promoting Agriculture is to create an economy out of its value chain right? Comparing fertilizer input approach and the "ordinary 300,000 eggs" purchased by government per week, which do you think would spread per capita income the more?

The issue Aregbesola was complaining about is the fact that the corrupt system is not allowing the fertilizers get to the right people so the goal is being defeated.

Looking at the "ordinary 300,000 eggs" approach however, you would see that government spending on it would impact on the Chicken farmer, feed miller, transport operator etc providing more jobs along the line. It is just the same way government has to invest in infrastructure to create a booming construction industry. Imagine if it were to be subsidy on equipment, that was being given, do you think the industry would thrive that much.

Point is if market can be guaranteed, then people won't have issues sourcing for independent funding and inputs to take market advantage. At least in that case it is your output that would be patronised and it gives room for every category of players i.e big and small to participate.

Guk: I have a personal feeling that he Minister of Agric's Measurement/Metrics Information System is faulty but i may be wrong. He said we have achieved 33% production of rice meaning that every 1 in 3 bags of rice is produced in Nigeria.

Have you seen that reflected in the markets and stores you patronise for rice?

Has the 1 in 3 bags threatned or even forced down the price of the 2 in 3 still imported?

#justwonderingsha

Obiagelli:
@red how else do you measure success of the scheme if not price and availability of our major produce? Is it by grammar.

@ green is the joke not on the minister? Osun has empowered its farmers by creating a market for them, more people are obvious taking to farming and do not be surprised when they start exporting produce. Common sense is set the market rolling, make farming lucrative and let others take the left over (export)

rotech77: Yes. Is available call me for negotiation 08066619493

FreeGlobe: wth? Even Ghana is shitting on Nigeria. Now this is where I have problems with those agencies that keep telling us Nigeria will be amongst top 20 economies in the world by 2020 or 2050. Really funny from this statistics.

mysticgal: My Dad always says''A WISE FATHER LEAVETH INHERITANCE FOR HIS CHILDREN''but this piece is confusing.

Prof Corruption: At 24? That guy is more than 30!

Bliss4Lyfe: Pharmacist have specialist knowledge.
Pharmacy selling tranquilizers to young men know exactly what the tranquilizers would be used for.
Abi the two primary offenders(Rap.ist and Murderer) be doctor?

zazawaga: Behind every rumour dear........

Blyss: Humm, well the Nigerian troops are not carrying side arms. If you are going into battle, it's important that you carry a side arm with you along with your primary rifle.

Originalsly: Very well....but you would agree that is because of a more police action rather than military action.Getting information is the key to solving such a crisis.With all the years the US Military combined with the British were fighting the Taliban and still can't defeat them. They are now sitting down with them and negotiating.
