Shame on us as a country, this is where we put ourselves in the first place, for a country like chad with a GDP lesser than that of lagos to be more effective in the fight against BH than us. With there little resources, they could still manage to muster something good, (at least a decent military formation), kudos to chad...shame on nigeria (the most corrupt country in the world). This is just like a security guy trying to rescue the son of his bank manager oga, by paying his skul fees cos oga don use all his own money kari woman and drink finish

Samchelsea:
for avoidance of doubt and correct me if am wrong, I believe maitatsine was just a small sect back then and you can't compare them to Boko haram of this time cos this is almost a full scale war the military is fighting

giles14:
on easy is d head dat wears d cap.incompetent? my man if u ar handed d leadership of dis country u will perform worst dan dis present govt.it's high time we stop pointing fingers at each other.even ur Messiah buhari of APC is just afta his pocket n so are his cohorts

MalcoImX:
Your country is being taken and you're here arguing about types of helicopters used. I remember a certain professor, (Alaghero?) warning France plans to invade Nigeria and he was called mad. Nigeria cannot accept help from the AU and UN but allows Chadian sponsors of Boko Haram incursions into its country.

gebest:
my fear is that chadians are boko haram sponsor so how can boko haram defeat boko haram

AlfaSeltzer:
Really? One got shot in the buttocks running away from battlefield while the other refused to go to war front and instead sent his assistants.

fr3do:
you see me sometimes making tribalistic comments on this forum, I do that to agitate for the interest of my tribe or jokingly when my tribe's interest isnt threatened.
Some of your tribesmen and my tribesmen have investments in the north and are targets of fulani aggression as this insurgency thrives.
Letting tribalism weaken the fight against boko haram will be an undoing.

AlfaSeltzer:
So NA are still making yoruba generals front line commanders? They haven't learnt from obasanjo, banjo, adekunke, oladipo diya?

Demburrows:
The game plan here by the N Oligarchs is using the insurgency to over run the current govt, then later tople the govt via coupe in the guise of salvaging the the country from lingering insecurities which will be throttled towards the in coming election.
The big picture is, covertly using that opportunity to embellish back to themselves the oil well licensing which is slated to expire in the coming months.
The south south knows this, that is why the recent rantings of Niger delta warlords is no childs play. They are fully prepared.

Beaf:
Thanks so much. Alls well that ends well.

donphilopus:
And this' the thug that wants to be the 'incoming incumbent' Governor of Rivers State. Just like the way the people of Ekiti State voted a thug over a gentleman, I pray the people of Rivers States do not repeat that.

#Vote Dakuku Peterside for better representation.

Kororugged:
Manny4life, you need to learn how to debate in a civil manner without being emotional. You get angry when things are not going your way. It is also clear you are not as non-partisan as you are claiming to be.

The guy has explained that the savings from wastage in government spending and also savings from far less corruption practices and leakages could fund APC's social policies. If you dont agree with his points, please tell us why? No need for personal attacks.

XKZ:
NEPA was a monopoly, Nitel was a monopoly, NNPC is a monopoly. Which option do these firms fall under?
Until a few years NNPC was the sole importer of petroleum products.
When you have "Govt approved importers" that is not a monopoly seeing that importers is plural.

XKZ:
Is a private firm/importer a government monopoly, Yes or No?
When a private firm has a monopoly on the importation of a particular good, it does not place any restriction on the volume/value of imports it brings in as long as it believes there is adequate demand since it's main aim is to make profit.

EVarn:
there is no clear cut strategy for fighting islamic terrorism and religious radicalism,at this point,the world is innovating on new tactics.our military has so far been very effective in checking the activities of these psycopathic jihadist,other countries with terror problems have been overun in a short while,but nigeria has been battling and containing boko haram for 5 years,with fantastic success.

show us the evidence that gej actually shared the money to the governors. Is there no difference between ECA and foreign reserve? What was in our foreign reserve b4 gej came on board and what do we have in there right now despite the oil boom? The point the governors made on ECA then was that; since the money was being saved for d rainy days, but the money kept depleting at every meeting ; i.e each time there was a govnor forum's meeting, for example, if they left the meeting with the knowledge of a certain amount in ECA, say $10billion, they come back to the next meeting realising that d money had dropped to say $10billion and, the trend continued. So this was why they decided that since the money is dropping and no one was telling them where the money was going to, it was better they shared the money and this(sharing) never happened. And what gej did to weaken their agitation was to decimate the NGF. Let's face facts, gej has destroyed our economy.

hermesprogidy:
If there is anything this election has exposed, its the high level of ignorance and the total failure of our educational system. Even after someone presents hard facts, people will still ignore the facts and attack the person. Sometimes I wonder if it's lack of comprehension, or just simple annoyance at your effrontery to task their chicken brains.

BlackTechnology:
To believe that a man who can't use an annual pension of 300million naira to transform Daura can bring about national change is the height of economic illiteracy


Buhari has nothing to offer.

kmariko:
A classic tale of economists measuring who have/ had a bigger manhood on their handling of there respective assignments.
In these economic tales, the greatest football match is the one they captained though neither came home with the crown.

If Obasanjo government was so good why are we still in this economic mess...non existence manufacturing index,low productivity, non existent technological index, infrastructure deficit etc. You cannot get something from nothing. Relying on crude oil as the only source of economic analysis belies the paucity of our collective intellect.

Soludo thanks for exposing our "intellectual elite" for what they truly are outside the confines of appointment

Obi won and Obiano got "appointed" is the reality. Deal with it and move on. Let it go

deletrue:
Soludo, the degree of your madness in your brain regions is such that no one can described. Was it not in your presnce when Thief Ibori and his click including yourself took total and complete control of the Central bank of Nigeria such that Nigerian were made to suffer when worker's salaries including the most popular oil companies were not paid? When Ibori and your click abi your likes took over the control of monies in circular so much so that at the end of every month, we were made to wait for not less than five to a week to earn a quarter salary? When where I was working could not pay salary not because the company was broke but because the Iboris withheld and keep to themselve and their business entities the salaries across the country. Because Thief Ibori, your best friend is jailed today, you are here talikng like a barbarian and like those professors in the west whose brain regions are faulty. Stupid like you:If GEJ is not been pulled down because he is from monority, is there any leader who is damn better than him.
Look at Buhari who picked his VP from the west, thus openly telling the other regions, especially the south south that their oil can be taking away and nothing will happen. Is not as if GEJ worth nothing, it did not occur to you that the region of GEJ should be allowed the two terms. Since GEJ took over, the man has not known peace, there is boko haram, four governors decamped from his party, threats like formation of parallel government so and so forth. Is there any oppression that is worst than that? Even if Okorocha is considered, it would have been better.
The frank truth is that we are waiting, let Buhari take over, then hell must fall because this is a clear oppression. Silly you
