If 3.4 trillion naira has been recovered these things shouldnt happen;

1. Sharp decline in monthly federal allocation to states. Most states are walking very tight ropes. Unable to pay salaries. I am presently owed 5 months salary. Last month only a meagre 281 billion naira was shared. Throughout the last regime, it never fell below 340 billion

2. Rising spate of unemployment. Most federal and state parastatals confess they are truely under staffed but cannot employ due to lack of funds. Blaming lack of funds for inability to function is the new norm

3. Businesses are daily being crippled as the economy suffers from lack of sufficient activity in the small and medium scale sectors; drivers of the economy. Without cash for capital, this segment of the economy goes weak.

4. Desperate moves to obtain loans from the world bank and China. This should clearly be uncalled for

5. Hundreds of projects have been halted and hardly any commisioned in the last one year. All the contractors allude that the government is falling short of the terms of the contract.

6. Move to increase taxes on all levels without commensurate improvement on the execution government's social responsibility to its citizens

Feel free to add yours. Just facts, no abuse

Buhari must realise that freezing the whole system and trying to control everything will make him ultimately fail.

Saving up cash or funds is the crudest means of wealth creation. If that is Buhari's plan or idea its a shame! Of what use is 3.4 Trillion if Industrialisation is at a halt, capital projects stalled, standard of living on the decline, Salaries and lawful entitlements of citizens unpaid.

If people like you dominated the human race, we would still be in the Paleolithic age.
All revolutions that have turned countries around for good were all violent... Somebody has to stand up and put a damb foot down for things to go right! I am tired of reading grammar from hypocrites! Why do we act like we are the only ones who worship God? Like we will just "pray" and all the bullcrap in the whole country will just turn to good things? Baba aggressive opposition to bullshit is always the answer! Maybe now the uncles in corridors of power and every other Nigerian waiting for that "oil company/contract" job will start making a far better use of their brain than just sitting around and complaining that Niger Delta Avengers wana starve the nation. The nation has alrdy been starved since obasanjo's era. And if you are a creative thinker, life can only go on! Sir.

Sweetlemon:
I expect to see my brothers dancing here. The idiots hailing these terrorists have even managed to console themselves that "as long as they are not killing people then they are fighting a good cause" I mean How will YOU eat when they finally achieve their aim of crippling the country? Do you now see how irredeemably Godforsakenly dumb you are? The only followers they can gain are people who never like Buhari and who wish him evil just because he won their hero/brother.
For crying out loud even the king of ogoni land admited GEJ failed them. The Fulani herder is the very one implementing something that was ready for approval since forever, The same man who made sure that he didn't sign the 2016 budget until the Lagos-Calabar rail project was included, something our so-called reps and senators didn't give a hoot about! Are these not things that benefit the common ND man and Nigeria at large? What do you want to do with govt appointments? Are you lobbying for posts for yourself or your family member? What else do you bloody baboonistic species want? Buhari's head?? The so-called brother who was at the helm of affairs for over 5 solid years did absolutely nothing. What did he do for the area apart from making a few militants and elites billionaires who didn't even see fit to donate a tap to their communities?? Yet some irredeemable foolish imbecilic dumb battalion ingrediential buffoonish nincompoops are still here allowing the devil use them to cause mass sufferings. "Not killing people" my round asss!
The way I'm seeing my people hailing terrorists I'm even beginning to think that we are much wicked and violent than the North because I don't remember Northerners coming out en masse to support BH or the herdsmen killings the way my people are all over the place cheering these guys on as if they themselves are not suffering. I mean what kind of hate will make you choose to die of hunger than allow someone who is not your brother feed you? Even the devil must be shuddering in hell right now! The comments whenever there's news of bombings and likes on such comments make me throw up. Like seriously are we cursed I'm seriously ashamed of telling people I'm from South South now. I'm really not very proud of telling people I'm from this region at the moment. Just too embarrassing!

LastMumu:
You have a meager budget of N10,000 yet you allocate 35% of it for Internet. You are lamenting about how worse the economy is turning into, what you should be lamenting about is your poor financial management skills.

I guess its too early to talk about 2019. But if things continue like this then Buhari will be a very vulnerable incumbent president facing reelection. The opposition party will be stupid if they don't snatch victory in 2019. If things never changed till 2019 a southerner can very much likely defeat Buhari, but I think the most ideal opposition candidate that will give APC a fatal defeat punch will be a Northerner who is a liberal Muslim, very educated, intelligent and articulate.
Southerners are attracted to educated, intelligent and eloquent people. Religion doesn't really matter when someone has these attributes, and being a liberal Muslim is a bonus. The northerners due to the mass illiteracy there are only enticed by tribal identity and religion. All they will want to hear is "Northerner" and "Muslim" and their votes are secured.
If the opposition comes up with a candidate with those combination of features I don't think APC will stand a chance even if they rig.

Hmmm! And universities all overthe northeast are alittle morethan glorified secondary schools.

phenase:
As a graduate who came very close to
finishing with a first class in engineering, I can
easily identify errors that cost students the
prestigious first class degree. I made one or
two of these mistakes. Over the span of five
years that I spent in the university, I saw lots
of people make the same mistakes outlined
here. Many brilliant students start with the
initial dream of graduating with a first class,
only to end up struggling to even finish with a
2.1. Obtaining a first class takes a great deal
of hardwork, consistency, intelligence but
most importantly discipline. Commit these
errors and your chances of getting a first class
will be very slim if not nil.

1. Womanizing – This is not about having a
committed girlfriend in school which can even
be very distracting. This is referring to keeping
strings of girlfriends while in school, or
pursuing anything in skirt. I am not speaking
for or against womanizing in school. But
womanizing is the quickest way of ensuring
that your dream of graduating with a first
class vanishes into thin air as your attention
towards your academic studies will be greatly
divided.

2. Not starting well – Except UNIBEN which
notably operates CGPA system that is based
on percentage depending on undergraduate
level, all other universities operate a
cumulative system based on credit load of
individual courses. Most first class graduates
build a solid foundation in the first 2 years in
school. Thereafter, they ensure they do not fall
below the boundary. Not having a high CGPA
in your first 2 years means that you will not
have any buffer during tough academic times,
as the going may get tougher as you progress
and your CGPA may become progressively
lower. Your academic standing after your first
2 years can make or mar your chances of
graduating with a first class. In addition,
having a high CGPA may help build you gain
respect amongst students or even lecturers
who may be careful when marking your scripts
so as not to make mistakes.

3. Placing less significance on small unit
courses – Yes, some courses may carry
smaller credit units but they count. Such
courses may be electives and general courses.
Cumulate all those courses and you will
surprised about how big the effect can be.
Every ‘A’ grade matters especially if you just
on the edge, and there may be moments
when it is the smaller unit courses that keep
you above the boundary. One of the critical
moments that defined my final CGPA was a 2-
unit course that dropped my CGPA from a
potential 4.51 to a 4.47 in my penultimate
semester.

4. Not studying hard enough – I need not say
much about this. Studying hard does not
necessarily mean spending long hours reading
in classes. Studying hard involves studying
with high level of intensity and depth within a
study period. The difference between a first
class student and others is the attention to
detail when studying. I use myself as an
example. I remember that eventhough I
sometimes spent hours reading, I was always
too lazy to solve sample problems. In many
cases, I overestimated my level of
assimilation. I sometimes got away with it in
exams but it cost me a few important A’s
which would have made significant differences
in my final CGPA.

5. Not taking internship and project work
seriously – SIWES (internship) is mainly for
science and engineering students. Internship
has a combined credit load of about 12 – 15
units depending on the course and the
institution. Imagine what damage a ‘B’ can do
a first class student! You don’t necessarily
have to work for a top company as an intern.
Sloppiness in filling log books, poorly written
internship report, and inadequate preparation
towards defense of industrial attachment are
enough to cost you an ‘A’ grade.
Project and practical works also carry
significant credit load as well. Practical work
can be particularly tedious, and undisciplined
students can be lax about it.

6. Allowing the opinion of mediocre students
influence you – Average students will always
be negative about their academic environment.
They will talk about how tough it is to
graduate with a 2.1 much less a first class.
They will complain about how tough the
courses or the lecturers are. They will remind
you about the failure rate in the past. They will
play the victim when they fail exams. They will
congratulate themselves on how ‘lucky’ they
are to escape a carryover with an E grade.
They will continually demonize the school
environment and their department. They will
never say anything but positive things about
the school. They will criticize everyone but
themselves. Feed your mind with such
thoughts from them and kiss goodbye to your
dreams of graduating with a first class.

7. Not seeking help / information – Not
seeking information can be harm your chances
of finishing with a first. Information gathering
is important in the pursuit of a first class.
Having the right set of past questions, exam
materials, handbooks, textbooks, etc. matters
a lot. Most Nigerian lecturers have different
handbooks, textbooks or online materials they
are comfortable with. They often set exams
from these handbooks and textbooks. First
class students are aware of these and sought
to get the necessary information.

Forget secondary school days when you can
be completely independent and isolated. In
the university, you will likely encounter
academic challenges one way or the other, you
matter how good you are. You will need the
help of others who are equally good. Build
high walls around you and it’s almost a
certainty that you won’t graduate with a first
class.

8. Helping others during exams – I have seen
and read about how potential first class
students make this mistake that can deprive
them of not just their dream grade but their
entire aspiration. A lot of people look up to
first class students to help them during
exams, not minding the distraction it may cost
them. Some even make monetary requests for
first class students to write exams on their
behalf. Time after time, brilliant students keep
falling for this trap without thinking of the
consequence of being expelled or rusticated.
In many cases, first class students already
have good reputations amongst their fellow
students and lecturers, and being caught
teaching in exams can soil that reputation.

9. Not attending classes – I have seen many
that graduate with 2.1 that ‘stabbed’ classes
on a regular basis. But I am yet to see or hear
of a genuine first class student/graduate that
deliberately missed classes frequently at least
in their last 2 years of study. They attend
classes because
1) They want to listen to the salient points
made by the lecturers so that they can
understand better and prepare well for tests
and exams. Attending classes is one way of
getting information
2) First class students are perceived to
represent the department and generally have a
good image. Not attending classes can
damage their reputation
3) Many lecturers take attendance seriously
and allocate marks to attendance 4) There can
be impromptu tests and classworks during
classes.
You want to graduate with a first class but you
keep skipping classes? Then think twice.

10. Not taking care of your health– Some, in
the bid to get a first class, spend almost all
their time and energy reading. They are always
in class reading or attending one tutorial or
the other, and they often do overnight reading
not minding the fact that their body needs to
be catered for. Consequently, they experience
frequent health breakdowns, and this can
cause serious setbacks in their dream to
achieve a first class. Nothing can be more
frustrating that falling ill in an academic
session. Wanting to have a first class does
not mean that you cannot eat well, rest when
necessary, relax, play games and manage
stress. Nurture your health. Health is wealth
