Chylo:
This is not about price of oil mumu. It is about how whatever comes in is utilized. I'm sure your only definition of ''stabilizing'' something has to do with prices, but intelligent people know that stabilizing a market includes rooting out corruption, crude theft, policy inconsistencies and overall negative shocks.

Don't mind them; certificate holders yet with minimal comprehension, always quick to castigate others not minding their own exposed inadequacies.

Yes, the General did mention doing what we could to stabilize the oil market; though not specifying whether he meant Nigerian or world market.

Let us even assume oil market translates to oil prices (as the OP, biafranqueen et al want to fault him for) still he could not be said to be far off the mark; because the primary function of OPEC, of Nigeria is a full member of and also the the current chairperson; is to stabilize world oil price through influencing supply and demand by exercising a quota system of regulation of production of its members.
The current plummet in oil prices can be related in part to the abandonment of this system by the group's major producing countries like Saudi Arabia.

There is therefore nothing wrong if Nigeria as a member and chair could try to do what it can (as in the general's words) to persuade the cartel to revert to the status quo of stabilizing world prices.

I have carefully listened to the interview, what came across was that the General started by clearly summarizing the problem as mismanagement of our oil industries and elucidated further by pointing out examples along with their solutions for which he concluded (again in summary) by simply saying it was an issue of resource management.

PHOTOSHOP OF THE HIGHEST ORDER…..Mscheeewwwwww.

EXACTLY, note the 2nd guy from the left is allegedly holding a Nigerian flag which was quite obviously superimposed on the red coloured maple leaf symbol of Canadian nationality - very poorly done.

Bevista:
Are you telling me that GMB has not travelled out to US since 2011?

Are you referring to the same GMB that US Secretary of State (John Kerry) flew all the way down from US to have a meeting with in Nigeria?

Rubbish. Go get a life!

Don't mind them, they continue making childish rubbish propaganda using cheap compromised newspapers, not minding how silly and tactless these futile acts of desperation are becoming obvious to the discerning public - its only their gullible followers that can't see through these obvious lies.

Anyone capable of independent thought and seeing beyond the veil of propaganda already knows that Buhari was never an extremist - only blockheads do.
It is nonetheless pleasing to note that the truth is finally reaching the easily mislead gullible and the downright ignorant - through such revelation from quite credible source like the former American Ambassador.
PDP's dirty tactics is backfiring against them and making the General even more popular.

Jonathan is Boko Haram

AustineE1:
which security are you talking of,this security situation some northern elites like Buhari contributed by their unguided utterances,actions and inactions,which has now put us in this mess,or the same Nigerian army which was long filled with Islamist moles who are sympathetic with Boko haram by GMB and other past military head,in the quest to fill the military with their people.Now we are paying the price of years of nepotism by this man who is calling for 'Change'.....mind you,nobody is interested in ur so called revolutn,many are rather tired of this contraption called Nigeria,we may need to move apart and develop at our own pace.God bless Nigeria for now that we are still together. Kudos to civilian JTF and the Nigerian military,may their bones never wither,as the struggle to correct the mistakes of our past leaders.

My friend, what are you talking about?
Which these leaders are saddle with responsibility of Nigeria's security?
Which among them is the C in C and was sworn to protect this country and how have they failed in their assigned security responsibility?
What unguarded (not unguided) statements?
Oh! I see, you mean 'Boko Haram are our siblings' by your clueless president?

tejpot:
Some posters above me saying satchet milo! If you want to learn how not to be wasteful come and join our team.

That's the meal of a common Nigerian.

He feels what we feel, but what I can't imagine is how 1 will consume 1bn naira food a year.

Even if u spend N10,000 a day, it will take u 27years to completely exhaust 1bn naira.

Bye bye to the wasteful years, welcome to a year of harvest.
Sai Buhari

Thats the difference between GEJ and GMB - one is very modest while the other is ostentatiously lavish and corrupt.

@OP:
Please adjust your topic from its current misleading form because it implies the alleged explosion took place inside the politician's house, which according to story wasn't true.

minifuworld:
did jonathan participate in the 2011 debate?

No he did not.

In fact his presence was felt by the empty space he occupied - in other words, it would have been inconsequential whether did he or not because as expected his contribution would have been to naught.

YOU CAN SEE HIM BASED ON THE EMPTINESS HE OCCUPIED IN THE PICTURE BELOW.

The writing had always been on the wall, Sule Lamido had long wanted to defect but was being blackmailed by Jonathan to remain in the PDP by using the EFCC against him and his sons.
I guess he is now calculating whether it is safe for him to do so noting that time may be running out for the president to carry out his threat against him.

Rexyl:
My only concern here and in the present drama is: if those dismissed so far on controversial certificates in public/civil services are not illiterate, they must be called back to duties. Good to follow example of GMB.

Please do not speak in ignorance: refer to the constitution and note that it does NOT require a candidate to hold/possess or indeed earn a certificate to run for elective office; it however demands for such candidate to be educated to certificate LEVEL or its equivalent.

The constitution also went further to elaborate on what it meant by an equivalent (refer to attached copy bellow).
Note: subsection (d) even left it entirely to the discretion of the electoral body (INEC).

Accordingly, all a candidate needs is the ability to read and write (i.e. literacy) and to communicate effectively to the satisfaction of INEC - which it no doubt deemed Buhari had already met and therefore declared him free to contest.

On the other hand those dismissed public/civil you referred to must have obviously failed to meet the minimum certificate requirement specified for their respective jobs.

In other words, the examples you gave are not quite the same: Buhari does not need a certificate to contest (as spelt out by the constitution); while the alleged dismissed officers did (as specified for their specific jobs) - get it?

"Niger delta oil belongs to all of US"
But d hausa/fulani man's cows,tomatoes,beans etc belong to d hausa/fulani.
They don't even pay tax on it.
Typical almajiri reasoning.

This is the Olodo thinking that puts you where you still are - in the creeks.

When did the Niger Deltans planted/sowed or reared the oil like the example of the Hausa/Fulani you gave?
How can you make such silly comparison?

So what would you do if Jonathan fails; blow up the pipelines and thereby pollute your own land and water - and by that foolishness what would you have you achieved?

And, yes; the Nigerian constitution says the oil belongs to all of us - deal with it.

DrPrickson:
Its pains me to the marrow when I see young,educated, technologically advanced Nigerians screaming "sai buhari" like foools.
We want to continue embarrassing ourselves before the international communities. Of all the 180million+ nigerians, APC chose as its candidate ,An illiterate, over 73 yrs, a former dictator, a coup plotter, a religious extremist, a sexist, the list goes on and on, t

It equally pains me to note that the so called young educated and apparently technologically advanced Nigerians (like you) still do not seem to know the meaning of the word illiterate and thereby continue to embarrass the rest us with its misapplication when referring to GMB.

For goodness sake, how does not having a certificate equate to illiteracy?
Please consult a dictionary and stop embarrassing us and your teachers.

How is Buhari not reasonably knowledgeable in most of the issues in play and therefore less qualified to be president; particularly in comparison to the clueless incompetent we currently have in ASO Rock, another so called certificate holder whose utterances readily brings into question the whole credibility and value of the Ph.D. system in Nigeria.

@ TOPIC:
How does alleged Bola Tinubu's statement: "Certificate or no certificate, Buhari is a general," translate to an admission of Buhari not having one?

Isn't it quite ironical and truly saddening when the so called educated continue expose and celebrate such shameful lack of comprehension in complete oblivion - it after all makes you wonder how they could have earned their certificates.

Only one goat?
What of TWO goats eating Jonathan's own?

Creekbilly

Bifwoli:
Haha,so GMB has the iron will to crash boko haram bcoz they're the insurgent wing of APC?

Surely only the shoe wearer knows where it pinches.

But the Otuoke man had no shoes - its no he is therefore no wonder he completely oblivious to the solution.

Joke of the week from the zoologist

tit:
ha ha ha
fear don cash apc!
no be them say them want sharia?
them no wan crossover again?

It amazes me how you come up with these silly retorts - them want sharia.
Just how is that possible with a whole pastor a vice president in modern democratic setting?
Why am I even surprised; after all your username explains all about you - just tit.s but no brains

Balkan:
GEJ is too dull for me. in the first place does he think Abokki will leave his own people to support him? thats why I call this man mugu sometimes.

I will soon withdraw my support for him. Jega he should have changed long ago.

I wonder who did your own dull (flat) head tell presided over the last elections in 2011 that ensured return of Jonathan back to officer; which even resulted in some rioting in the north due to perceived rigging against GMB - I suppose by your logic Jega couldn't have been a northerner at that time.

This story sounds like one those fashioned out and shipped to the media houses by FFK, who in turn churn it out without scrutiny or verification in exchange for some brown envelopes.

Excuses, excuses; PDP have read the writing on the wall which reads to them defeat, they are therefore looking for ways to scuttle the election; first postponement and now to discredit it - just last acts of desperation from the drowning party.

Gbawe:
Analysts of body language will tell you it is Kerry's posture in the two pictures that reveals which is the more relaxed tete-a-tete. Talking to Buhari, Kerry is 'open' with his arms spread wide as if at ease completely while his back leans into the chair showing 'relaxed mode'. Kerry appears laid back talking to Buhari as if addressing a friend, ally or someone he is favourably disposed to. Kerry seems to be enjoying his visit to Buhari.

Whereas he is 'closed' , with defensively clasped hands, talking to GEJ. Kerry is upright and literally 'uptight' in the picture with GEJ. He appears uncomfortable as if he could not wait to leave. Kerry's body language shows he does not appear to be engaging with GEJ sincerely or approvingly whereas the opposite is the case with Buhari with Kerry appearing relaxed and as if talking to someone he is about to do very productive business with. Obvious Kerry is more relaxed with Buhari whereas his meeting with GEJ looks like a diplomatic visit to a leader one has to acknowledge but does not respect, rate or approve of at all.

My take too.
Its like Kerry is looking at GEJ saying to himself, what a pity he still hasn't realised he's going to lose.

As they are rapidly running out of ideas they have started turning on themselves - end of times for PDP.

Much as I want to believe this story, it just doesn't sound credible; moreover OBJ had earlier maintained that he would never abandon the party that made him president, so I don't believe it - at least not for now, until the major media house corroborate it.

LOL, a PhD holder at that.

ellechrystal:
Gbam. But this one's look like they were actually placed there by some set of ppl for just meme

LOL, look well well.

delishpot:
Cleaning ground incase the general climb that chair on the 14Th make him bad mouth no go bite am for bum tomorrow

More like afraid of losing his fan base after noticing the negative feedback.

tempest69:
hahahahaha funny! See this hwoman for finance ministry, some of those abuja Ashs done turn farmer overnight.
E be like say na night farmers oooo hehehehehehe. This OTUEKE MAN..............

LOL, sharp guy, so you noticed ba?
Imagine, no representative from the poor Dry Season ravaged areas (mainly in the north) that the programme is presumably aimed at - na so dem go share, chop clean mouth; while those ppl it is really meant for would never see shishi (kobo).

When will these PDP stop lying?
I watched Lai Mohammed live on TV this morning and he was very clear and categorical, that APC would no longer be drawn to respond to the certificate saga, because according to him APC deems the issue as dead and buried and instead would rather concentrate on the more important issues of Security, Corruption and the Economy; he also added that anyone not satisfied and still wants to dwell on it should go to court.

@OP:

You can continue spreading your fake story for the little PDP Otuoke rice they are paying you; while more discerning Nigerians have since moved on - next time try to come up with at least more creative convincing lie.

ellechrystal:
Haha...this goat is not smiling.it must ve heard all wats going on, n made its decision.
There is a pic of two goats on gej's poster aswell

You mean this one?
