Nigeria just needs to build our real economy by producing things we consume and if possible increase our export.

Once we can do that, the rate of inflation will go down and naira will appreciate in value. What we were having before was a cosmetic growth not built on the fundamental foundation of economic development. It was solely on crude export, fixed exchange rate that skewed towards the elite that had political influence thereby create arbitrage for only a select few. That was not sustainable which was why Nigeria could not meet with its obligations before

Our problem for a long time is the artificial growth we were having.

Let's produce food for our consumption and export, produce textiles we wear and if possible export. We need to reduce our consumption of foreign food and materials and encourage local production. Ina very short time, our economy will grow.

I don't even understand why you're tagging me in all your nonsense talks.

Please, stop mentioning me.

I don't know what else to say on Farotimi's matter. Please do your research before you come and spill your ignorance. Farotimi lied because he was served, although he claimed it came through a third party (I challenge you to confirm yourself). The arrest was to force him to face justice by appearing before a magistrate. This is reality, so far so good his case is on merit, let's come to the conclusion of it then I can speak again

pongwa:
I put up that picture to show my statistics of countries who still view defamation as a criminal offense. I don't care about the message portrayed in the writing. I am pretty sure Farotimi was served prior to the arrest. His overbloated ego would have downplayed it, hoping to capitalise on the "failed judicial system" he opined. Guess what, he was proved wrong by the system.

MadPolitician:
Encouraging the poor to endure the excruciating pain while you change private jets like you change your wet boxers doesn't sound like an attribute of an empathic leader.

pongwa:
talking about the excesses you mentioned, I believe they must have been served a notice before the arrest (that's the position of the law). There has to be warrant of arrest before they could pick Darlington, Farotimi etc. For the case of VeryDarkMan, he got the summon to which he publicly declared and responded to within the ambit of the law. So there was no need for an arrest to be effected against him.

QuotaSystem:
You have clearly allowed the upper part of your brain to rot.

You can hold “the rich & might ” accountable without telling lies on them that you cannot defend. Somehow that part of my submission flew over your head.

pongwa:
what do you mean allover the world. Where did you get that stats? Why are you terming those who seek redress in the court of law as abuses of power? You should analyse what defamation does to the career of these guys in question e.g. Marley, Burna Boy etc.
If it cannot be proven, then it shouldn't be alleged because the effect can be damaging

QuotaSystem:
The only people that have an issue against criminal defamation, are the serial defamers in our social media space, and those that only have the production and spread of wicked & deliberate lies and propaganda, as their only political tool/weapon with which they confront opponents.

That’s why the current reality that any criminal defamer that deliberately publishes lies & propaganda to defame opponents can be promptly thrown in jail, is like hot Moruga pepper in their eyes, giving them migraine headaches & sleepless nights.

Otherwise why should anyone be scared and running in circles because of the law of criminal defamation? If you have an allegation against anyone, AS LONG AS YOU CAN PROVE IT, then go right ahead and say or publish it. Anyone that dares to challenge you will not only lose shamefully to your evidence in court, but will be exposed to further ridicule with the presentation of your evidence.

Godwin4444:
I have always known u to b unintelligent

So u want us to decriminise libel so ipob can have a field day saying anything they want about anybody right?

Guy if u accuse or allege then get ready to prove it

pongwa:
Defamation is a serious offence and should be "re-criminalised" with severe penalties. You need to understand the damages libel can cause to people. The saying 'he who alleges must be able to prove" should stand please

princemaths:
you better stop this nonsense. That country is far ahead of shit Nigeria and far richer. This is nonsense. Go do some research. You'll are kids here and know nothing but feel like you mnow

Buccalcavity2:
Tell me the country that is not taking loans na.

richmond500:

publicenemy:
The interviewer didnt ask her about Nigeria oo. Hmmm... Yoruba people! They never fail to run their mouth like tap. The other day it was Davido running his mouth like tap denigrating his country. That fool that did a BBC interview about Nigerians schooling in the UK claiming Nigerians using education as route as to leave the country, only God knows what tribe he is.

God1000:
Grow up Kemi and stop behaving like a baby, making disparaging remarks about Nigeria every now and then doesn't speak well of her.


I wonder what she's trying to achieve

Angelfrost:
Red card, bro.

Airtel happened.

But, I get your point...!

Teams like Brighton and Fulham should never be underestimated.

Mj4199:
It's seem Arsenal weren't given any corner today 😂😂😂, una draw Fulham so f@ckin wat?
Everton wer that draw soup for man utd the score 2 against una no fit score one....

2-2 Liv

Looking4Trouble:
Successful in what? Tell us. I am here not far from her house and I don’t know what she is successful in. She is representing her Constituency, snd her fellow party members voted her as leader of her party, making her oppposition leader, and that’s all. How do you rate the Prime Minister then? The Prime Minister that just left is an Indian, the immediate past First Minister of Scotland is a Pakistani, they never said a single negative things about India or Pakistan, this ordinary opposition leader is cursing and abusing her parents and family. Ma Ogun go kee her Mama.

folake4u:
Them say them nor like women who do makeup, artificial lashes, wears wig, bossy, feminist etc.

pocohantas:
This is a VERY stale and slow take. I have never said I don't have or need a man, so I wonder why you keep quoting me with this retarded bullshit like you have something on me.

I do have one, thankfully he isn't on NL typing epistles on his supposed crypto and checking my phone.

If there is anything you should focus on, it is when you and your kind would hook these good women. I mean, when will you leave feminists and show us your good woman? How you treat her and how feminine/happy and kept she is. Pipe dream hah? I know right.

essentialone:
Don't mind them. It's not every time you appoint yourself as Defense Attorney of your gender. Sometimes just be objective and call a spade a spade.

Having a female child is a punishment.

CyrusVI:



Guess the budget is becoming lean. The ones are they've done went a long way for the state residents, i assume

I hope they revisit and re-implement this again in the next few months


Keep Tweaking things like Pep Guardiola. Its still fair than those states where the Govs dont do shii

pocohantas:
Online they are always giving to their mum and sisters. Offline many mothers sold votes to politicians for bread and 1kg of beans Every man loves his mother on social media. This kind talk no dey move me.

cococandy:
Exactly. Boys are easier to raise because they don’t even bother to raise them. That’s why we have so many of them misbehaving up and down everywhere

afube:
I doff my hat for Mazi nnamdi Kanu........hate him ,loathe him but give to him .......he is a man of integrity! Nigerians have never experienced selfless leadership so the unfortunates in nigeria can never recognize good leaders! nearly 3 and half years in detention Kanu remains unshaken!

DeLaRue:
In the future, people will look back to a time when we had a particular President who took certain difficult decisions, which though not popular at the time, set the country on an irreversible trajectory of economic growth and development
