Some Nigerian youths or possibly nairaland educated youths are educated Illiterates.if depreciation our naira will reduce Imports,and thus trigger many home grown substitutes that after suffering for a while we start exporting,is it not better for us than being dependent on developed countries through importations,or do you people want us to be rubber stamps and satellites market for every product from developed countries like,Togo,Benin republic,Niger,Chad and other franco phone countries.

I am a pragmatist! Technology will not save us! You made account of Swiss innovations and all, did I say they are technologically backward? NO! I said they aren't known for it, i.e. it's not their strong point! Like Japan, US, Russia et al. Nigeria is not ripe for it.

actually I have read the PIB available to the public .... a single Google search will show a pdf online.
I have also worked in the oil and gas industry for 15 yrs prior to going solo... trading for a living (in addition to other works)
point is...
I still have lots of contacts in the NOC and IOC...
they tell me the level of clean-up that has been done in NNPC and the jittering that the IOCs felt when the bill was introduced.

so, my comments, suspicion come from well informed foundations.
I understand if people do not agree with me... but people have to ask themselves questions like...

1....why is she the only one under fire?
2 ....what about other ministries... for instance, what is the minister of education, youth development, health etc doing with their budget?
3......why is no one calling them corrupt ... only this woman?

when folks ask these questions and answer them correctly, they will begin to see things in the bigger picture.

I also do not blame those who spend their time on the internet insulting others and watching porn...
its the times we are in.... poor parental up-bringing and discipline.

OK, it appears that way may be on the same page but semantics got in the way. If as you say, Janathan can veto constitutional amendments, but NASS can send it to states anyway, then I do not consider that to be a veto.

But I 100% agree with you that onlt the courts can hold their c0cks.

help3852:
I don't blame you.

APC - always bitter, can't drive a pt without abuse, i pity your wife, children and generation.

With the way you are going, there are already doomed if you don't CHANGE

nduchucks:
The FG has a point, all of the provisions which require 80% majority vote which were included with less than the said four-fifth approval, will be rendered unconstitutional and ultimatelly struck down - but I am not sure that this is the time for that.

If I were a betting person, I'd bet that the supreme court will not make a ruling on this and toss the case out. The courts have no business telling NASS how to do their jobs, besides, the Amendments have not yet been sent to the states for approval, so NASS still has time to revisit the amendments.

As I told many people, including Mr. jpphilips, the President cannot veto amendments to the constitution, hence he decided to go to court to force NASS to remove certain provision early in the game.

Shame on NASS for including these 419 provisions, and shame on GEJ for taking NASS to court. He could have simply expresssed his concerns and let NASS have a do over on the provisions in question. As it stands, The APC NASS, with President Buhari and the APC controlled states, will decide what povisions are amendeded. David Mark & GEJ, both rougues are wasting their time.

There is more to this than meets the eyes and the real truth will come out soon enough.

help3852:
ITS A PITY YOU ARE BRINGING UP CONSIPRACY THEORIES.

ARE YOU AWARE THAT THE MONEY THE LAWMAKERS WILL BE TAKING HOME IS YOUR MONEY.
25% OF OUR BUDGET IS ALREADY GIVEN TO THEM YEARLY, HENCE NIGERIA FINDS IT DIFFICULT TO DEVELOP IN TERMS OF CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, AND NOW THEY ARE GOING HOME WITH LIFE-PENSION PLAN

and all you could come up with is that Gej is fighting for Buhari. Is the money Buhari's money or your money??

brothers THINK!!

THE MILITARY NEEDS TO COME BACK AND CLEAN UP NIGERIA. I SUPPORT ANY MILITARY INTERVENTION , AS LONG AS NO BE HAUSA OR SLAVE TO THE HAUSA'S

zicoraads:
This is serious. I don't get it, what went wrong?
It beats me that the FG was already aware of all the processes or the amendments that were being made to the 1999 constitution, why didn't they lobby to keep certain aspects they were not comfortable with out?

Why spend so much on this exercise only to want to throw everything away?

There is more to this than meets the eye.

I would really like to know what is contained in the sections that is getting the GEJ led FG mad.

Nonsense, APC stop crying, Concede defeat and move on, The only credible election is not the one that APC wins, Other party can win too.

Only a deluded person will even contemplate an APC win in Akwa Ibom in the face of all the uncommon transformation that Akpabio did in the state, If election is conducted 1million times in present day Akwa Ibom, the party of uncommon transformation will win all the time.

APC take all your forged evidence and head to court where the peoples mandate will defeat the bruised ego of APC again in addition to the electoral defeat in the state.

Good day Country people,
As you read this very short post, you will realize that I am neither a politician nor represent one. I am just an every day Nigerian trying to eek out a living online (honestly) like everyone else.
However, I feel the need to voice my thinking in this period of what I call immense confusion and deception among my fellow country men.
in the last few days, the press and everyone around me have been doing all they can to demonize the current minister for Petroleum and OPEC president - Diezani Madueke.
I have heard people say "she has access to Nigeria's crude proceeds and she made away with a large chunk of it" and all sorts of things.
recently, the rhetoric have changed to the sayings like she is proactively trying to run from Buhari's envisaged war on corruption by seeking asylum in six countries.

I, for one, don't know her personal routine, but I do know ridiculousness when I see/hear one;
I think it's ridiculous to believe that a minister will be a sole signatory to a nation's account.
it is even more ridiculous for anyone in their right minds to believe that a sitting minister and president of OPEC will be seeking asylum when her country is not in war.

Obviously there is an attempt to demonize her. Currently, she is the leading symbol of corruption to many Nigerians. and the press is having a field day doing that. I could not imagine how news agencies will carry a story of a Minister seeking asylum without any kind of proof. no one even bothered to mention the names of the countries.
She is the longest serving Minister currently in the country and no one has been able to fault her leadership in any of her ministries.
all I hear is private jets and oil money as if the so-called pastors of the leading churches don't have better and bigger private jets.

Memories are short:
Such act of smearing and demonizing reminds me of what happened in 2009 - 2010.
most Nigerians may have forgotten, but back in 2010, the minister that was at the crosshairs of attacks and press slander was Michael Aondoakaa.
He was called all sorts of names, called the leader of the CABAL that wanted to keep Yar'Adua's corpse in power while they pull the strings. but in actuality, Aondoakaa was doing his job just like any responsible Minister of Justice should. the man was serving his country in a way I have never seen before with so much loyalty.

First:
when the British police issued a warrant of arrest against James Ibori on charges of corruption, he challenged them for meddling in Nigeria's affairs. that is what a Minister of Justice should do - Protect the Sovereignty of his nation.
There are corrupt government officials in the UK, you don't see Nigerian police going to arrest them.

Second:
in 1996 the US drug company Pfizer, carried out human experiment with polio and meningitis drugs in Northern Nigerian that injured, killed and maimed scores of Nigerian kids in Kano and other northern states, they refused to pay compensation to survivors who were not even told they were being experimented on. Aondoakaa was fighting them to pay restitution to the families of the affected.

Now it has come out through wikileaks that Pfizer paid journalist to demonized and discredit Aondoakaa.

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/dec/09/wikileaks-cables-pfizer-nigeria

people should think about this:
while the man was fighting for justice for Nigerian kids, the press were paid to demonize him, and we all were calling him names, saying all sorts of things against the one person that was fighting for our children to receive justice.

With Regards to Diezeani;
It is my firm believe that international agencies are behind the attempt to smear her.
I also believe this is being done in cahoots with the Nigerian press.

Why?
One word - PIB.
This good woman introduced the Petroleum Industry Bill that will wrestle control of Nigeria's oil and gas industry away from international companies and more into the hands of Nigerians.
that is why she is being demonized.
To be honest, I am concerned about her safety.
Nigerians should know who is on their side and who is not.
the former Minister of Foreign Affairs (Mr. Ashiru) once said some foreign diplomats are sponsoring all sorts of change agents in Nigeria with regards to the gay thingy.
It is my firm believe that they are also behind this herd mentality smearing of our good and hard working people to suit their interests.

Our nation has corruption issues, I agree.
but we do have heroes.
I saw a hero in Michael Aondoakaa,
and I am seeing a hero in Diezani Alison-Madueke.
Please look at the big picture before you come to conclusions.

On Al qaeda in Yemen.

Fool, if you had been paying attention to news event from that nation you would have been aware that the Houthi Shiite militia based in northwest Yemen and backed by Iran have since overran the capital and large swaths of Yemen.

The only reason America hss been in Yemen all these years under the pretext of fighting Al Qaeda is to wage a proxy wat on behalf of the Saudis against the Shiite rebels.

The Shiite rebels recently pulled up a David and goliath feat by not only fighting the Saudis to the north, Sunni Al Qaeda and the Yemeni govt forces but also America's drones and special forces.

Today in Yemen, Terhan has a solid foothold into Saudi Arabia.

Do your own farking reserch you lazy almajiri

Are you done slapping yourself? Why should I take you serious when you don't know the difference between Pakistani Taliban and Afghan Taliban??

You are a fool who thinks that by discrediting the messenger you destroy the message.

Obama is a Muslim from Kenya who hates Gej and most especially who wondered why gej should be his own man. Remember Gej was the 1st ever president and not just that an African head of government to request that Un n un security council be made more transparent using the democratic ideology the west preaches! This the world over wondered why they never thought in such direction n it has to come from a black man! Remember obama economic visit to africa n hw he avoided usa biggest counterpart in the continent being Nigeria n how gej shuned him by visiting China n again the world over marvelled at gej latent strength! Gej single handedly killled the new imperialism by EU when they came with trade agreement! Other west africa leaders were ready to sign but gej stepped up his game by diplomatically rejecting it! Gej was hailed by other African leaders for his courage for pan africanism. Nigeria will soon know how a Messieh gej was n still is for now. Gej the Best President ever in Nigeria! Fact! Haters can hate

Yes, no be today!

Only 3 presidents since post civil war have truly been their own men;

Murtala
Abacha
Goodluck who happens to be your last true president!

Ya because education failed you to know RNC was a British company that closed down in 1900, what is Buhari's date of Birth?
You see how stup!!d you look

I have been clapping for u since reading this.

I just can't quit clapping.

U proved a point that is unimaginable and am marvelled.

Keep it up

Dr. jpphilips (Ph.D)

This how u got ur degree by countering points with intelligence.

I think buhari needs to hire u as a spokesman cos u just nailed me with ur points.

Please u need more education

In order to do a suspicious Prisoner swap with the Taliban which saw 5 die hard terrorists exchanged from Gitmo for one lone wolf US marine deserter, the Obama white House weeks prior to the release of the terrorists downgraded the Taliban from a Terrorist organization to an armed insurgency.

America works actively with AlQaeda in Yemen against Iran backed Shiite Militias.

ISIS was supported by America in Syria against the Assad Regime.

Just watch how they will re write the script on Boko Haram!

I would have dropped my email addy/ BB PIN, I think sending you an email request on nairaland will be better. PLS I'VE GOT NO HIDDEN AGENDA.....tnx

Mrbigman1:
Bro, no doubt dey have enough but they consume more dan enough and dey still get for reserve.
If America gets enough oil from iraqi, Yemen and Lybia, what else do dey need 10billion barrels per day from Saudi from?

Dey consume more dan dey get, so dey need both free and ones gotten from intimidation.

As for oil shale, please dnt mention it.

D money used in extracting a metric tone of oil from shale can get them ten times same amount of Nigeria oil, and d money used in treating the waste is 5 times money used in production.

It's not flexible economically.

Dey re hawks looking for more, dey dnt mind how destructive d process is, all dey want is two things,

Get what dey want
And protect its citizens.

D minute we know that American is the devil, d better for us.

What did sadam Hussain do to dem?
Wia is d weapon of mass destruction dey said he built? Did dey finally bring it out?
It's was free oil bro.

What did Gaddafi do?
His policies wia so strong against dem.

What did Russia do?

When South Korea threatened dem, why did dey not just jump in?

Cos dat one really have d weapon
And dey have no oil
And cos dey re allies with Russia and China which is self destruction if attempted.

General puppet will rule over u guys while I wait and watch
