SMH.
Atiku never uttered such statement.

Edoloaded:
This is the fact and everyone know it

Edoloaded:
just think about it......





It's the revenue generated from the oil gotten from our backyard that is keeping this nation alive today.
yet before we get anything it will first go to the north then the west before us.

They are just using us. trying to milk us dry for their selfish interest claiming one Nigeria.


We provide more to this nation
The only thing the rest of them bring is overpopulation.



When elections come they start to tell us how we are insignificant politically, so they hardly pick a candidate from the south South, but when it's time to collect oil revenue they remember the south South.


they only build rails that leads to oil areas or oil communities because thats all they ever want from us, the oil.....



God will punish the person that almagamated this country


for those that are talking about 13% I'm not sure you're alright. what can 13% do.


2nd Niger bridge alone is worth 206bn.


we need 50% of our oil revenue, you all can manage the rest 50% and use your population to generate more revenue by taxation...


you guys can appoint who you want as ministers or service chiefs or vice president we don't care just give us our money...



is it not surprising that we couldn't even get a VP slot

pdp- Atiku / obi - north/east

APC Buhari /osibanjo north/west




I guess it's only in collecting oil revenue that the south is important ABI




what happened to the ogoni clean up.. for 4 years now

feddis:
Talking about illiteracy, you sing the growth of our reserves like GEJ actually literally left them empty.
Are you not simply an illiterate for believing such?
If the our reserves was really empty, how come Buhari came and Nigeria still had such great borrowing power that has given him the ability to borrow about N13trn naira in 3 years?

feddis:
We've grown our reserves yet our economy is still hazy...
That's growth in the shadows.

feddis:
This nation faced recession under PDP in 2008 and survived.
Tell me how we will end up like Venezuela again.

LordAdam16:
We've been through the worst. Informal (black market) exchange rate is 360. Investors bringing in their dollars use 364. Floating the exchange rate will take it to somewhere between 350 and 400 and eliminate these multiple windows and associated shady practices.

Minimum wage is about to be increased. So the economy and the people can absorb the 20-30% devaluation.

LordAdam16:
I'm not your average Joe so don't come at me with that regurgitated trash sent from your BMC HQ.

There are plenty of import-dependent economies that operate a floating exchange rate. China is an export-dependent economy that loosely pegs its exchange rate. There's no one-size-fits-all policy.

By fixing the rate in an import-dependent economy, you first have to use scarce dollars to sustain the rate, while also subsidizing and encouraging more imports by prodding an artificially low rate.

None of those fancy buzzwords you used are happening anytime soon. It's all brainless ranting from individuals who have no sense of scale of how f*cked up the country's situation is.

We aren't getting steady power in the next 10 years. Security isn't a crippling issue in our most economically viable cities (Lagos, Abuja, PH, Kano, Kaduna, Ibadan, Aba, Onitsha, Warri...). Our infrastructural deficit will not be solved in decades with our current fiscal inefficiency. Ease of doing business is not like a light switch you flip. It's gradual.

I wouldn't even respond to the others. No normal person will be talking about industrialization in a country of 200m people that produces less than 4000 MW. And we certainly do not have the expertise to engage in high-value manufacturing for exports. That's like taking a toddler to the Olympics.

You guys always try to spout untenable rubbish without doing any on-ground assessment like typing "fix power" on social media will somehow generate the $200b we need to actually fix power. You want to stop fuel importation when there are no refineries. You think feeding school children and employing temp teachers will stimulate a $400b economy.

Then you talk about revenue diversification by agriculture and solid minerals when agriculture is already Nigeria's largest employer of labor and solid minerals only reinforces the resource curse.

As you can see, you've typed exactly nothing noteworthy or useful; yet want others to have confidence in the current depraved plan to fix the exchange rate with all its attendant issues. All of Nigeria's high growth period have correlated with practicing a floating rate regime. When the next oil crash comes, you can put a leash on the rate. But don't suffocate the economy during an oil price upswing when it is clear to even the blind that oil will continue to be one of the primary determinant of economic performance.

kayfra:
An average Nigerian will scream bloody murder when Atiku implements this. The value of naira to the dollar will dramatically rise, probably north of 700 Naira to a dollar and prices of everything will increase immediately.

While it seems like a reasonable economic policy. Nigerians are absolutely not ready for it.

devindevin2000:
The way these Kenyans dey insult Yorubas for Youtube because of Biafra, you go pity yorubas. Everybody now know they envy Biafrans especially Igbos.

fabiano09:
It will be a shame for any learned individual whether for or against the federal government to support the judges decision not to grant their prayers,to be honest partisan politics by our learned judges have all but ruined this old profession of law in naija,out judicial system has become a joke,justice Binta nyako is a disgrace to the profession, history will judge them.

Equity311987:
Edo of all people- itsekiri and Akoko people in Edo are more closer to Yoruba than Benin.
Benin is Biafra and Biafra is Benin

ZombieNation:
[[s]quote author=kayfra post=72599384]All he has to do is have a spokesperson like Lai or Adeshina go out and claim that they are looking to having a referendum for Biafra and have Kanu announce his boycott.

This strategy will be very effective if it's timed like a month or two before the elections to maximize its effectiveness. Of course, they'll have to make the illusion believable enough . Not like the later is really that necessary since most iPob members are Odes anyway. They'll believe anything Biafra


Boycott the elections in the SE

[/s]
I thought you guys claimed SE are part of the inconsequential 5 percentile group?

If so, why is a SE vote boycott bugging you?

yuvisan:
You no serious! The highest joke, who wants to
pander to Ipob illiterates. Know they are not speaking
the minds of Igbos.
Biafranists are like malignant tumor ,cancerous and spreading widely
threatening to snuff life out of the victim if not excised with
the proper surgery and medicine.

SarkinYarki:
Nobody says 3 years is enough but at least in 3 years we will see the vision of where a govt is headed and till date the only vision Buhari has communicated is poverty , ineptitude , bloodshed , poor thought process , nepotism nland destruction... Believe even if yo give Buhari 300 years nothing will improve , if you give Buhari the Swedish economy today in 6 months they will be in a recession ... please watch this video and tell if anything good or smart or visionary can come from the dull character you see below

jumper524:
Stop making enemies of states look too important man..

SarkinYarki:
You mean this dullard speaking below can fix anything? You must be joking right?

Why anyone will want Buhari to win the elections is what I don't understand ooo?

jpphilips:
Shut up your ugly teeth, I just taught you A1 visa you are hopping around like an over fed Kangaroo as if you have heard it in your life, you want to educate me on a subject I brought to your ignorant notice, were you not the semi lunatic that made this dumb comment before?



A1 visa is not given to you because you are head of state, being head of state qualifies you to apply for one (first step). Each travel buhari makes to the US, his diplomatic passport will be sent to get his A1 visa stamped before he travels else, his plane will not even land.

Atiku I believe should have a diplomatic passport already as an ex vice president, go and read the criteria for issuing diplomatic passports in Nigeria, Atiku's problem will be applying for A1 visa as head of state (God forbid), he is on a life time time visa ban, he has submitted his diplomatic passport before in 2011 and he was denied, his presidency (God forbid) makes no real difference, that's how the world works, I know Atiku's dollars just liberated you from your miserable village life, dont worry, we are all here to help your stup!dity. lying bingo!!

Pavarottii:
I dare ur ass to list a project started and ended by dis administration

SarkinYarki:
It wasn't sold to fund the budget then but to offload liabilities ..know the difference

jpphilips:
So Omar Bongo resurrected from the dead to Visit the US after the report was published in 2010? you are an irredeemable demon!! If you had any shame with several of your lies busted here, you would have buried your face in shame, if possible delete your nairaland account.
your question is still waiting for you
Where did the US say they refused Arafat entry because it doesn't recognize Palestine?
