Daboomb:
First, l must commend the @Op for taking time to write this good piece!
It is a breath of fresh air to see such articulate writings on Naiiraland, a place notorious for being populated by unintelligent riff-raffs who dont read anything before hitting the reply button!
A place populated by under-age Jamb failure who cannot read a paragraph of any write-up successfully, not to talk or articulating one!
So, its shocking that he brought this sort of article that requires "cranial exercise", to a place like this.

But let me 'go along' for now.

That as it may, the author identified THREE things that have periodically plunged the country into recessio[/b]n -
1.) War
2.) Political Instability
3.) Unstable/falling Oil Prices.

[b]He has shown us how Saraki and his gang of Forty thieves and Certificate Forgers can/will lead us, "eyes-opened", into another recession..... by tampering with the budget benchmark price of crude oil while not doing anything about investing in the future and planning for the rainy day!
In other words, the 3rd point on that list is what is playing out now, with "Saraki and Brothers" in the NASS

But l tell you, it is more than that!

Saraki's action is a combination of all the three factors, of which only one has been identified by the author.
Let me explain (in reverse order):

2.) Political Instability: Every war in Nigeria, is always preceded by Political Instability. It is what caused the Civil war of 1967 when the tit-for-tat killings of the "Political Leaders" of the North and East blew into full scale war.

Now, recall that INEC, which is responsible for conducting elections, have identified a number of reasons why Election fraud, which leads to political unrest (and then recession!), is a recurrent decimal in our polity. The agency has therefore decided that henceforth, it will START EARLY and PREPARE for elections, so that there wont be any "fire-brigade" approach that encourages rigging.

That is very commendable and l am beginning to feel that "we are entering an era where the vote of the masses will start to really count".
if our vote really begins to count, we will then realise that we have the power to discipline crooks, if per chance they find a way to deceive us into electing them into Political office.
Thus, the Presidency, heeding INEC's call for early preparation, sent a list of 36 Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC's) to the Senate for deliberation and confirmation. (Mind you, by law in the 1999 constitution, no election is valid unless confirmed by the REC of that state. it is as simple as that!)

What did Saraki and his gang of thieves do? They brushed it aside and started using blackmailing tactics (like Kidnappers!) saying: We would not even attend to the REC's list, not to talk of confirming them or otherwise) UNLESS BUHARI SACKS EFFCC's Magu!

What has Magu `(Efcc) got to do with INEC's REC?

If Saraki and his Sin-nators are paid with our tax money to live these extravagant life of theirs (I hope you have seen their total emoluments of about #40Million each, every month?) and in-turn to make laws and confirm appointees, do they have the right to refuse doing their job while still being paid?
By refusing to attend to the REC's confirmation issue, the NAAS and Saraki has shirked its responsibility to the nation with the far-reaching implication that if these RECs are not appointed on time, preparation for elections will be in shambles, leading to Rigging and by implication, INJUSTICE and then POLITICAL INSTABILITY!

Let us recall that Saraki is from a lineage of Serial Criminals!
Anyone old enough knows how him and his father, Olushola Saraki, looted the vaults of Societe General bank till the bank became bankrupt. Our dear, mercurial Jay Jay Okocha is still suffering the effect till today, as his life savings got stolen by the Sarakis, as a depositor in that bank.

We are also aware of how the Sarakis looted the state of Kwara to its knees, in the days of "Up-Oloye" when Governorship of the state passed from Shola Saraki (father), to Bukola Saraki (son)!

What about the looted #3.5 Billion Paris Debt Refund of kwara State that the President made available to States to pay their owed, staff salaries...which Bulola Saraki stole?
Should we also mention how Saraki himself looted the vault of Heritage Bank till it became bankrupt!

Thus, by refusing to do their job, by trying to use their own "responsibility" as a "Third Arm of Govt" in a democracy, to BLACKMAIL the Executive Arm, this notorious criminal called Saraki, is already plunging the future of Nigeria into Political stability!


So, when l say Saraki has Stealing, looting of public funds and Corruption in his DNA, l am not exaggerating.... it is in their lineage and blood!
I bet his sons would also be thieves like him and his father.

1.) War: well, this one is a no-brainer!
Once we allow Saraki and his gang of thieves and Certificate forgers to plunge us into Political instability (as enumerated above), we are just a step away from imminent war
Political instability sows the seed of war.
Between 1965 and 1967, `there were series of killings and counter-killings due to Political instability...that finally led to the Igbos saying "we've had enough, we want out"...and then the real war began.

So, Saraki and his gang of forty thieves are gradually leading us to an avoidable second war... with our eyes open.

For those who support Saraki's actions because of pecuniary gain or those who support it out of ignorance and idiocy or those who support him out of hatred for "anything Buhari"...l want you to know that when/if the heavens will fall, it wil fal on everyone, including them and their loved ones.

We Nigerians MUST march on this Senate. We must force them to do their job.
We all need to come together to condemn what is EVIL first... then we can return later to play the 'game' of insults.

Does d president have a CERTIFICATE?

mmsen:
His uniform, the amount of time spent talking about his bleeding uniform was a waste of time.

There are other mechanism that one can use to bring someone to task and if you cannot think of any besides wasting tens if not hundreds of collective man hours discussing and thinking about it then you should not be in the Senate.

Can u mention atleast 2 of those mechanism, cos in my opinion they have done EXACTLY wat I expected

mmsen:
I'm not a APC supporter but I'm also not a fan of time wasted.

There are other mechanisms for holding someone to account besides wasting hours on the case of one man's uniform.

There are far more pressing issues. The writer made that plain and I agree.

Customs is a security agency n security can never be a waste of time, afterall d writer clearly linked security to recession, so wat are we talking abt?

mmsen:
Can't disagree with his comments on the Senate, I said the same thing when I heard them whinging about that man's uniform. So much time wasted.

I guess they are right, d head of customs in mufty? does that make sense? Gross indiscipline, wat if other military outfits decides to do same? APC Govt is full of confusion

So Saraki is now d President , continu

Dis guy arrange pass Jack Bauer

So all these accidented cars when u buy one how do u do wit it U take it to panel beater

Bond is different from borrowing. Help yourself instead of wasting away online.

PassingShot:
Bond is different from borrowing. Help yourself instead of wasting away online.

BOND
A bond is a debt investment in which an investor loans money to an entity (typically corporate or governmental) which borrows the funds for a defined period of time at a variable or fixed interest rate. Bonds are used by companies, municipalities, states and sovereign governments to raise money and finance a variety of projects and activities. Owners of bonds are debtholders, or creditors, of the issuer.

What is good news here? I don't get it. U are borrowing money and u say its good news

TeamSimple:
We dash you christians Shia muslims. We are okay with them on your side.

But the earlier you folks realise dey only doing that to gain public sympathy and support for the release of their leader,the better for u guys.

Once again,we willingly dash you the Shias. Happy union.

Lol, guy u are very funny.

U become a terrorist because of something u merely read in a book, u become a suicide bomber because of what you read in a book, U slaughter another human being because of a book, no CONCRETE proof, sometimes just because ur parents are Muslims. Wat makes u special from other people? People who are far intelligent in all spheres of life, I tire for some muslims fa!! !!!!!

FriendChoice:
Yes Islam is the only true religion. God says so.

Islam is older than any Religion. The first muslim on earth is Adam. And all prophet of God are Muslims including Jesus. Even Bible testify this.


Bible is older than Qur'an. Yes. What u should know is: All the 2 scriptures are from God. The difference is one is corrupted and the other is preserved.

I can put it to you my friend that you are a muslim because your parents are muslims.So its all about belief, no concrete PROOF. Islam is the only true religion did God tell you that to your ears? U read in the quran right?

Sometimes I wonder how Muslims always carry their religion put for head as if their Allah has once appeared in d sky and said to all humanity that Islam is the only true religion. Its all about BELIEF and CONVICTION which is exactly what other religions and people have. I wonder if they even know that CHRISTIANITY was around hundreds of years before islam and the Quaran copied so many events from the Bible
