You are writing rubbish.

A new York Times publication that predates Buhari's coming into office says what the economy suffered.

Your antagonism of this good man must haunt you forever.

Believe me.

Sir, It is not personal but because you have made it so, let me say may your progress in life looks like Muhammad Buhari's government. A government that lacks vision, A government that failed in its three cardinal points of his agenda, A government of division, A government of the cabals, A government that produces hunger and a government that never valued human life. Muhammad Buhari may be a good man but he lacks leadership qualities. He is not a leader, he is sick, he is overtired, overtax, fatigue, weary, tire, drain whatever you want to add, let him go and retire and stop the disgrace If a president cannot in honesty articulate his/her policies and defend it in public he/she is not qualified to be in that seat period.

rusher14:
The problem with many of you is that you listen to what others tell you without cross-checking yourselves.
Nigeria was not only in recession by the time Buhari took over on December, 31 1983, the country was hemorrhaging.
This is a New York times report before Buhari took over.

https://www.nytimes.com/1983/02/17/business/economic-strains-on-nigeria.html


The Nigerian economy is in deep trouble. When the Government laid out its current five-year development plan, the forecast for 1983 was that production of high-priced oil, at two million barrels a day, would earn the nation $30 billion.

As world oil markets faltered last year, the forecast was trimmed in November in an austerity budget based on production of a million barrels a day. At the time, industry analysts reckoned that, for the first quarter of 1983 at least, black Africa's largest oil producer would be able to pump 1.3 million barrels a day, about the December level.

The forecasts were wrong: In January, oil industry sources and Nigerian officials said, daily production was no more than 880,000 barrels, despite the expectation of high sales to wintry America and Europe. Early February was worse: 550,000 barrels a day.

The implications are serious. Nigeria, which faces elections in August, is spending far more than it is earning. Some prestige projects, like a $2 billion standard gauge railway, have already been shelved. Commercial Payments Slow

Moreover, the nation's foreign exchange reserves have fallen to just over $1 billion, enough to finance one month of imports, and that figure, the ecoomist said, is only ''notional'' because outstanding commercial payments are much higher. One Western banker put Nigeria's commercial debts at ''$6 billion minimum.'' Other estimates vary between $5 billion and $7 billion, compared with a relatively low long-term debt of $12 billion.

(Banking sources in London said that Nigeria had begun talks aimed at getting a $1 billion credit to repay some of its commercial debts, Reuters reported Tuesday.)

Sir excuses, excuses, excuses, 1983 excuses. 2015 excuses, Buhari is not the only president that came in when there are recession and no country change leaders who are doing well unless their mandate ends, government changes because the previous government where not doing well and the reason we have new government is they promise to do better, if they promise to do worst they will not smell the seat you will agree with me so please stop the excuses. I know no one has the magic wand to perform magic over time but what we expect from any new government is for the trajectory moving in a positive direction, not negative directions.

[quote author=rusher14 post=75444052]How old is Atiku?

[/quo



Sir no doubt Atiku is old but why I said Muhammad Bahuri is not fit to be president is not about age sir, Buhari is sick, all the signs of dementia is visible, Buhari is tired, Buhari cannot comprehend well anymore. Sir old age have cut up with Buhari at 75 some of us may be early than 75 and some may be late but what reasonable people do when they found themselves in a situation such as where Mr. president is right now they retired Buhari is making fool of himself every day and that is not what Nigeria as a country needs and as a patriotic Nigerian of which I think you are, please join hand to vote Buhari out Buhari, he have nothing to give anymore and it is time for Nigerians stop celebrating mediocrity and failure. Muhammad Buhari is now two-time president and two times he has failed. Nigerians, please Buhari did not succeed twice as president when he was on his right mind how will he succeed now that his health has cut up with him Nigerians please think.

INNOSON motors are all China made, the parts are imported and Assembled by INNOSON. The cars are moving Coffin, no wonder the owner of the company doesn't drive his own brand.

If I may ask have you buried any of your relatives as a result of INNOSON car? or is this just envy, do you own any INNOSON brand? have you seen any INNOSON car fell apart while in motion? do you have the statistics to back up your claim of being a moving coffin?

It is disheartening, seeing our youths supporting APC/PDP candidates and even allowing themselves to be used as party thugs please stop disgracing yourselves, your families, your unborn generations and Nigeria as a country. Nigerian Youths I call on you to change the trajectory of Nigeria and Nigerians future it is time. Please don't let the February 19th election be a referendum on you all, In a country where the youths are the majorities we are expecting more from you all. It is a shame that a country with almost 200 million and with vibrant youths can only elect a dead wood as a president, NIGERIAN YOUTH MUHAMMAD BUHARI IS NOT FIT TO BE NIGERIA PRESIDENT.

Yampotatocarrot:
Sir, I believe everyone have reasons for their designs. If your design was chosen, someone will definitely criticise with better designs. The main point is that it is being built and the design used will be able to carry out all the functions for which it is being.

Inasmuch I understand your point, but I didn't worship small God I believe whatever that is worth doing is worth doing well. Quantity is an enemy and Quality is a friend.

arinzeejikonye:
More,

The orlu college of Medicine is equally getting attention.

Our people and their poor architectural designs, all these buildings would have changed the face of the state if it was well designed, with the same amount of money used, they would have at least get something like this blow. I'm not talking about the finishing but the design and not that these designs are too good but it would have been better and also would have changed the face of the school instead of looking substandard.

Haba 170 million dollars? Is he the only one in their family or is that his own part of the inheritance?..lol..Even Trump in US,how much did his father borrowed him? How much did Dangote father borrowed him to start business? This guy keeps lying and contradicting himself.

His brother is a Catholic reverend father and her sister, a reverend sister.

Abagworo:
President Buhari visited Ezeimo palace. Looks like a masterpiece.

Okorocha's infrastructural projects most of the times are substandard but to be honest the inside of the place is indeed a masterpiece. I wish all the projects are well detailed like this place. I give him a 90% pass mark.

Bloooody:
Buhari will give us this.
In the next 4 years!
4+4!
Buhari is what we want!
We Nigerians have rejected Atiku
We want our PMB!
He is God chosen!

Please, you wake up from your dream, the 100/KM Abuja to Kaduna they reduce the speed because of cows. Dream on hahahaha

Check out the other half, things are changing astronomically.

Fuckuignos:
DEMOCRAZY!

Is somebody even aware that BVN has revealed more bank accounts belonging the suspended CJN? ...So if he were a rapist, as opposed to money laundering, what we are saying is that so long as NJC fails to remove him, he can continue raping women at will...

Just understand the bone of contention is assets declaration and not money laundering and rape and as such not a criminal offense. Now having said that, let hypothetically said it is what you said money laundering and rape which are criminal offenses in a situation as that what they need to do is with the evidence, approach the CCT they will order the arrest and detention and charge him to court and then to the Senate for removal. Nigeria is not a banana republic countries that got it right didn't get there by lawlessness. I'm 100% sure the CJN is a corrupt individual but the president shouldn't have gone this route, I understand the moral justification but constitution is the constitution and due process is what we are advocating no matter how difficult it is to swallow.

Klinee:
Only foolish Anambrarian will vote PDP.
PDP hold this state at ransom for years and bastardized this our state, why should a reasonable Anambrarian vote for PDP

You all should stop the party politics in Nigeria, this mentality is one of the reasons Nigeria as a country has not produced a leader, instead what we have are rulers because people continued voting parties, vote for the pedigree or quality of an individual contestant, not parties.

ClearFlair:
Atiku and PDP are thieves. If you’re smart enough to know this and you encounter any of their campaign ads anywhere always report the ads as offensive and inappropriate. It is an insult to our democracy and sensibilities for people like Atiku to parade themselves as saints. God bless Nigeria.

I'm not a member of any political parties in Nigeria and I'm 100% I'll not vote because I don't live in Nigeria now, please I don't want to be tagged as a supporter of PDP which I'm not. Please, may I ask, Atiku didn't leave office yesterday, Does it mean that Buhari didn't know that Atiku was a corrupt individual when he was sponsoring Mr. President's campaign in 2015, flying in Atiku private jet and dining with him Mr. president never find it fit to decline Atiku's contribution? My people, we all should understand that someone who knowingly received stolen goods is also a thieve.

deomelo:
Must the President do or demand what the citizenry should have demanded that the crooked, self-confessed and corrupt judge resing? Is this not what Nigerians should be demanding even before the president stepped in.


Nigerians totally ignored the lawless act committed by the disgraced CJ against them and their constitution, but they are going out of their way to kill the President for doing what they should have done.

Where is the sense and wisdom in allowing such corrupt, lawless and a lawbreaking character with unexplained millions of undeclared dollars in almost a dozen bank accounts remain in office?

We are so desensitized and used to corruption that it doesn't bother us, we even ignore corrupt public officials and instead fight and go after the people we actually pay to fight corruption.

If this is how we truly feel about corruption and criminal acts, then maybe we should just abolish all our law enforcement agencies and save the billions we budget on their behalf every year.

Let me start by letting you know that you are missing the point, the issue of being corrupt or not is not what is at play here. The issue is the President not following the due process, countries that have succeeded in strengthening their institutions didn't do so by undermanning their constitutions, our constitution made it clear how to go about the removal of CCJ, some will like it and others may not but constitution is what it is and must be followed anything short will not go down well with the citizens. To build a good house there are specifications from the foundation to the decorations and do you know why some houses collapse it is because of some contractors abandon the specifications and cut corners and that is what Mr. President has just done. In Nigeria, we have made it our habit of convicting people in the pages of our news outlets and that has impaired our judgments, that is why our president can have the audacity to undermine our constitution and some Nigerians like you can't find anything wrong with it.

Ofuzo:
You don't seem to get the gist of what I'm saying. Like I told you before, if you don't like how okorocha is managing the state resources, simply make use of your PVC and vote against him. Coming to nairaland everyday and whining about it isn't doing you any good. Everyday, you are just crying about what owerri is getting and what orlu is not getting. Your crying is falling on deaf ears.

The gist of my last post though, is this; if federal and state governments of nigeria are not restructured, you will be crying about orlu for the next 1000 years regardless who the governor is. Okorocha was not the only governor to neglect orlu and he definitely won't be the last. There won't be any meaningful development in nigeria until power is devolved all the way to our village councils. There's no place or country in the world that runs the kind of system you have in nigeria. WHAT YOU HAVE IN NIGERIA IS AN ABOMINATION, AND IT WILL NEVER WORK.

My brother, you are on point.

Abagworo:
Those metal archs are not ugly. You will appreciate the effects at night as they make the city unique in every way from every other city. Let me upload the looks at night.

One street is enough

Yampotatocarrot:
True about the trees. U r the second person here screaming this, I hope they listen... Are the metal arches that expensive?

I'm not estimating one metal arches to 2000 pine trees when you examine the new roads he is constructing you will found out that they are putting up the ugly metals arches, my suggestion was to use that money to buy pine trees instead of the metals.

Abagworo:
Yes you're right but it's being done and cannot be completed overnight. The manholes will be the last thing to be covered after the entire drainages are fully covered with sidewalks. The difference between Okorocha and others is that he is not doing to impress but to effect permanent and futuristic change. If he is like others he would have just built one road and easily finish the drainages, coverings and beautification for propaganda but he is rather building all the roads at the same time and equally completing them gradually before he leaves May. Combined length of these roads if reduced to 2 lanes is up to 1000 km and most of them were started between May 2017 and May 2018 with demolition, clearing and excavation before, drainage, filling, leveling, treatment and asphalting followed by the ornamental aspect he's facing now.

I agree with you, that it cannot be completed overnight but it can be done in a reasonable time frame and with standard quality and specifications, you will agree with me also that the contracts when they were awarded, included the sidewalks because I believe if it was not they will not construct it. I hate making excuses for mediocrity and I want you to call a spade a spade I don't see the reason why finishing touches needed to complete all these projects before handing it over should be done later. Why would a contractor handover projects without doing the needful? I give you an example, how many years now did the road in the picture below was constructed and handed over to the government? This manholes are dead traps why will it be so why build it at all if it cannot be done well?

Abagworo:
The drainages are covered afterwards. Be observant and you will notice. Only Okorocha is building covered drainages while others cut out part of the road as walkways leaving the drainages open. Also notice that trees have already been planted though dry as a result of harmattan.

Mr. Abagworo, the problem I'm having with the infrastructural development in our cities and towns are the habit of not paying attention to details. Just look at the picture you uploaded to support he is constructing covered drainages, some potions are covered and some are open this is a street, not a highway the manholes are all open to me whatever that is worth doing is worth doing well.

Sholaco:
Let d USA vote for him na.....I care less! Hissss

Goalpost have just shifted

Abagworo:
The finishings already look better

Not all the new roads and why are they still constructing open drainage, why plastic palm tree when we are in a tropical rainforest climate zones. The money they are using in constructing the ugly metal arches can buy 2000 pine trees.

Abagworo:
The road with sands that led to flyover is under construction. Other ones as you can see is spotless.

At least let the finishings look somewhat like the picture below (Nigeria standard), not all the open drainage and metal decorations that made the good effort look like a sculpture's garage.

Nigerians React As President Buhari hands over APC Flag of honor to Delta State "presidential candidate" "senatorial candidate" "governortorial candidate"

Buhari was to hand over the party's flag to the Delta State governorship candidate of the party.

However, he said: "I am handing over this flag of honour to our presidential candidate." When the man to his left corrected him, saying "gubernatorial", Buhari responded with "to our senatorial candidate". Again, the man corrected him, saying "gubernatorial". This time, Buhari said: "governortorial candidate".

Why can't my fellow Nigerians see the handwriting on the wall Buhari has (NOTHING) to offer to Nigeria as a country anymore. Old age has caught up with him, he is sick and tired to me, it is not an early stage of dementia but full-blown. It is not a joke anymore if this is what a country with about 200 million people can offer to the world as its president then my people we all are doomed.

Still on this matter, I know many people from Anioma axis think that they should be a seperate ethnic group.
How ever its a fact that they answer Igbo names, speak a dialect of the Igbo language, have Igbo traditions and share a border with mainland south east. Yes they may also have a connection to the binis but for some reason they did not evolve bini names, language nor culture. They evolved Igbo

There is never going to be a way in this country that a man whose name is Chibuzo Dike will not be regarded as Igbo by everybody. Why do u think it was Gej and not peter odili that became yaradua's vp. Why do u think Kaduna Nzeogwu's coup is regarded as an Igbo coup.

We the Igbos of se only agreed to be called igbos recently too. Otherwise before the white men came, we were Ngwa people, Bende people, Nsukka people, Agbenu people, Wawa people etc etc just like you are Anioma people. There has never been (and will never be) a central Igbo ruler. What we have as Igbos is our shared language and culture. Nothing else. A DNA check might reveal that the Aba people are more brotherly to the Akwaibom people than they are to the onitsha people. However, all that dont matter any more. What matters is that in the 21st century, we all speak the same language and share same culture.

Let Anioma state be created and joined with the south east for the following reasons


[1] It will be a predominantly Igbo-speaking state

[2] Even if the people do not consider themselves Igbo, there are more cultural ties that bond them with other states in the south-east geo-political zone than the south south geopolitical zone

3] Aniomans have always been treated as second class Igbos because they were part of the Western Region and Bendel States. If they are made part of the south-east, that will stop.

[4] Let us face it, the Urhobos, Itshekhiris and Ijaws in Delta State outnumber the Aniomas and would not allow them to achieve dominant positions within the state

[5] At the moment, the south-east is the one zone crying out for more states.

[6] There is nothing wrong with states in one zone being on different sides of the River Niger. Remember that Benue State is south of the river, as is Kwara State, yet they are in the north central zone.

[7] According to Cornelius Adebayo, the Yorubas in Kwara and Kogi States want to create Oya State and make it part of the south-west. If this happens, a precedence has been set.

[8] I know a lot of Aniomans have a deep afinity towards Benin and Edo but being part of the south-east does not mean this will end. The Yorubas of Ilorin do not stop celebrating the Oro festival just because they are in the north-central political zone.

[9] A lot of Aniomans have not been able to occupy positions their abilities deserve because they have been victims of not being clear cut members of ethnic groups. For instance Senator Patrick Osakwe of Asaba could not be put forward for senate president, despite the fact that he is probably the most qualified Igbo-speaking senator for the job. Being part of the sout-east will resolve this.

[10] Creating Anioma State and making it part of the south-east, should lead to an increased westward migration of Igbos. This is necessary because of the high population density in the region which is putting pressure on resources, leading to a host of social problems.

What are your thoughts.
Remember the south needs more states to be able to challenge the north in the national assembly and south east particularly need one more state to be able to have an equal voice with other zones in Abuja.

I agree with you 1000%, I'm from Orlu but and I have the view for long that Anioma should be the sixth state for Southeast.
