You people are the cause by calling nigeria a zoo , then in a zoo what do you expect? Secondly most protestants are miscreants , hoodlums and good for nothing crooks that want to use the opportunity to steal or wreck havoc, by so doing karma caught up with them.

You know what I find ironic?
It's the fact that disgusting hypocrites like you who reason with this abominable and shallow mindset, are the same ones who will troop to Twitter, trending useless self-mocking trash like #BlackLivesMatter, #JusticeForTrayvonMartins and #JusticeForMikeJones when another black boy is killed in cold blood by a white racist policeman in FAR AWAY United States!
Meanwhile, you black monkeys turn around and try to justify the rampant and SICKENING violence going on RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSES.

When a white cop kills a black boy in the USA, you ignorant African wannabe Akatas (with your cheap China phones) jump right into it and start screaming "Racism", but you justify the massacre of over 1000 Shiites in Zaria, simply because they blocked a road.

It is now clear as day that the vast majority of you Africans who tred #BlackLivesMatter don't do it out of any genuine sense of moral responsibility or ethics, but simply out of the mere fact that it's the trendy thing to do, and would serve as the closest you'll ever get to being an akata. Kinda like the early craze of Africans in the late 90's when they wore headwarmers and FUBU winter jackets in the blazing Kano sun, just to belong.

O' the African man... So irredeemably shameless in his thoughts and actions.

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday flagged off free feeding in the state primary schools in what the governor described as a fulfillment of his pledge to provide free education to pupils in Kaduna state. According to him, the free feeding programme is expected to benefit 1.5 million children in over 4,000 pubic primary schools across the state.
Meanwhile Social crusaders and activists from Kaduna, have released pictures to condemn the School feeding initiative maintaining the the program was unnecessary and a charade especially given the state of infrastructure decay in the school which should have been first addressed.
According to a commenter, he said that government of Kaduna should have ’empowered their parents and use the food money to equip the class.’ Another activist Zina Dabo said on twitter; “Seriously @elrufai do you think what these kids need is propaganda slice of yam not chairs? @shehusani @NGRWailers“
According to El-Rufai, the programme is directly creating 17,000 jobs for caterers, who in turn will employ others to support them. “It is an unprecedented undertaking in the state, but one that we solemnly pledge to do during the campaign.
“In seeking to take care of our children we are creating jobs, boosting demand and expanding people to new skills and hygienic standard, and providing extra income.”
The pictures show students in schools without furniture; chairs and tables who were seen eating from the plates across various primary schools in the state. Photos below:

These are the pictures the governor unfortunately doesn't want you to see. And it ties in with the typical APC leadership style - Ignore the basic essentials you're supposed to provide, and focus on the cosmetic and unsustainable political gestures that will only earn you quick and easy brownie points from the gullible.
This man couldn't provide desks, teachers and laboratory infrastructure, he skipped them all for this recurrent expenditure that will do nothing to improve the QUALITY of education in those schools.
This was the exact same way a certain governor employed Twitter shills and media jesters to whitewash his image with endless propaganda for all of 2012, 2013 and 2014, until the crash in oil prices exposed him for the wasteful, shortsighted, and totally CLUELESS leader he really was ('Oil prices have fallen, so my hands are tied. I can't pay your salaries. in the mean time, pray for the state. Bye').

And the same thing looks to play out in Kaduna soon.
We just dey watch.

The presidency didn't even have the decency to come clean and honest to the people by following due process and admitting it was pulling back the document on the grounds of its own reckless failure. It resorted to making a mockery of itself by pulling a stunt so hare-brained and idiotic, it not only exposed its cluelessness but also its dishonesty.
In an attempt to appear infallible, the presidency has ended up dancing stark nakkked in the marketsquare.
These are clowns who campaigned with the "Honesty" facade.

Obviously, nobody remembered to inform these primitive dunces that Administrative TRANSPARENCY is a NECESSARY ingredient in ANY anti-corruption battle. Chasing your enemies around and chanting "Where is the money?" does NOT impress anyone in an upright society when you run an OPAQUE government and carry out shamefully secretive dealings carefully shielded from scrutiny.

And who even told these jesters that fighting corruption was all that mattered?

As at today, the Naira is on a free fall, trading at 305 per US Dollar. Has he spoken? His butt-lickers were quick to ascribe the brief power supply improvement to him; so why do they scream "16 Years of PDP" whenever the sorry state of our currency is mentioned?

As at today, fuel is so scarce, people now drag their generators to the filling station. Can anyone ever tell me how many times this happened under GEJ? Why have the hypocritical Change Agents remained silent on this?

As at today, Lassa fever has killed more people than Ebola ever did during GEJ's tenure, but still no word from these jokers.
Oh, I forgot... They are fighting corruption.

Sycophancy is a mass-murderer.
Don't believe me? Ask Joseph Stalin's butt-lickers.

Mckennedy:
They're just suffering the masses for nothing Pmb should deploy task force to all the filling stations around the SE let them investigate there tanks any one found keeping fuel instead of selling should face the consequences.

If fuel subsidies have been removed, then it is not the business of any goddamned government how these people choose to sell their PMS. Government money no dey am, so why the hell should government still dictate to them on how to sell their own products?
Free market prices are determined by competitive forces as well as demand and supply, not some primitive socialists regulating from the center.
If the price of PMS sold at a gas station is unfavorable, leave it to the CUSTOMERS to decide by going to a station that sells less. Low patronage alone would make them adjust immediately. Simple and short.

This whole "Subsidy is gone but you must sell at so and so price" nonsense is nothing but an ill-conceived policy sommersault by a primitive mind with zero economic sense or even the most rudimentary comprehension of demand-and-supply dynamics.

"Together we will make our country great again"

I've seen many Nigerians say this on several occasions.
Bro, your country has never been great, I'm sorry to let you know.

"In the end, the people get the leaders they DESERVE".

When I drummed the message all over Nairaland that this man lacks the prerequisite intellect, mental balance and wisdom to even serve as a Primary 5 class prefect, myopic sycophants like Beremx labeled me a "tribalist".
The ignorant people in Imo screamed "Rochas we know"... But is this really the Rochas they knew?

All through his first tenure, he did absolutely nothing to better the lives of Imo people in terms of employment.

He said he was offering "Free education", but this Free Education was only provided on the pages of his propaganda newspapers and TV adverts.

Spent most of his first 4 years illegally acquiring people's land parcels, illegally cornering and 'privatising' public facilities, and illegally amassing wealth for himself and his family.
The Imo people knew this, but chose to live by the idiotic narrative, "Even though we know he's been looting public funds, atleast we can still see some of the good works he's been doing"
The above statement is a people officially signing off their future and generations unborn to eternal slavery out of their sheer ignorance and sttupidity.

Like it was in Osun (The populace voting out of emotions and little common sense), so has it played out in Imo.

Alas, the people get the leaders they DESERVE.

Please, I've said this before, and I guess I'm going to have to say it again.
ANYBODY close to our amiable President should, as a matter of urgency, help us play this song by Skales to him:

OYA SHAKE BODY

OYA SHAKE BODY

MAKE YOU RING THE ALARM OOO

OYA SHAKE BODY

Please, chant this five times every minute for 1 hour, so our president would instantly activate the Body Language.

That thing you see up there is Mr. Adesina's final attempt to translate the BODY LANGUAGE, but the odour has gotten out of control, so Mr. Adesina is now WRITING in BODY LANGUAGE as well.

In December 1980, exactly 35 years ago, the naira was one dollar and eight cent, but today, a dollar is N260, the weakest it has ever been since its introduction 42 years ago. The naira, which was introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on January 1,1973, fell to its lowest on Friday, trading at 260 to the greenback on the parallel market. The local currency continues to plunge as the CBN holds on to its stringent dollar sales policy at the parallel market. Earlier in 2015, the apex bank introduced the policy of selling over $80m to Bureau De Change (BDC) operators, to keep the unofficial rate close to that of the parallel market. The policy is however undergoing review, as the CBN circular reported by Reuters has set out new guidelines for the 2016 BDC transaction of dollars. The circular, which will come into effect in January, “orders retail money exchanges to deposit a mandatory cautionary deposit of N35 million in an account with the central bank, in addition to a minimum capital requirement of N35 million”. The decision, experts believe, would trim the number of BDC operators in the country. When the local currency was introduced in introduced in 1973, the nation started with notes for 50 kobo, 1, 5, 10 and N20. The 50 kobo notes were phased out in 1989, 1990, before N50 notes, better known as ‘Wazobia’, were issued 1991. Former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, holds the record as the president to have introduced the highest number of notes in Nigeria’s democracy, introducing N100 in 1999, N200 in 2000, N500 in 2001 and N1000 on October 12, 2005.

With this disastrous news, get ready for tomorrow's story by Buhari and his goons on Goodluck Jonathan's $980bn loot, all in a desperate attempt to deflect attention from our current economic woes and keep their gullible supporters distracted on frivolities and nonsensical white lies.

If we didn't have a voting public so intellectually vapid, the focus would have been on asking our dear mallam to adequately elucidate on how he so miraculously "Cut down Nigeria's Inflation from 20 percent to 0 percent" as his campaign team so falsely bellowed.
Did he do it with a cutlass?
A few minutes of investigation and fact-checking would have made it clear to anyone that the story was nothing but a blatant lie.
When you claim to be an honest man, but your campaign promises are filled to the brim with unintelligent lies and slogans, it's time for some soul searching.

What's even worse is the fact that this man fought tooth and nail for the presidency for 12 years. 12 SOLID YEARS!
He finally gets there and is as visionless and lost as ever, promising to hit the ground running but taking 6 months to build a cabinet; with his mouth in hyperdrive and his brain in suspended animation.

Shame on this Twitter generation.
I will never be a slave to ignorance.

Cheeeeei! Is reality finally setting in?

"Even if Buhari presents NEPA bill as certificate, we shall vote for him!"

"5 year old girl donates her lunch money to Buhari's campaign team"

"Buhari's face scares armed robbers into turning a new leaf."

"Buhari's body language brings Nissan and Peugeot manufacturers back to Nigeria."

"Buhari's body language freezes the drinks in my refrigerator."

As I watched these dingbats - the illiterate, the educated and the pseudo-educated - reel out these baseless hero-worshipping bellows aimed at deifying and elevating a stark illiterate, I knew - sooner or later - that reality would soon come calling.

Fuel scarcity? Check
Rampant corruption? Check
Insecurity? Check
Boko Haram rampage? Check
Death of the corporate sector? Check
Death of the manufacturing sector? Check
Presidential jets? Check

I should probably start counting down the seconds it would take before I receive another hackneyed "Clearing-the-mess-of-the-16-years-of-PDP" quip. But then, prior to PDP, we also had about 38 years of the military which Buhari was a part of. What excuse do you have?

Abeg, abeg, abeg. Anybody close to Chei Baba should help me dedicate this song to him:

.
.
.

Oya shake body
Oya move body
Make you wake the mallam o
Oya shake body

Dem haters don dey feel me now
Cuz I dey journey, dem dey feel am now
Back then I dey lose anyhow
I don get planes, dem say "Sell them now"
But they can't lace my shoelace
Cuz I'm old and I'm dull and I'm clueless
What you vote is what you get.
I run trips from Daura to U.S.

- Buhari

Three days ago, Nigeria's budget-monitoring tech organization, BudgIT, released a detailed document on the states of Nigeria; their economic situations, debt burdens, budget-funding capabilities, internally generated revenue ratings and financial sustainability.
This move is part of a greater plan to engender transparency in our budgets, as well as demand better accountability from our various state governors across the federation.

The document had some revealing details, some shocking details, as well as some downright damning ones. I guess reality is truly different from state-sponsored propaganda and social media rhetoric.

[size=14pt]Ability Of States To Meet Recurrent Expenditure[/size]
In this category, the states are ranked by the figures realized after subtracting the total monthly salaries paid by the states from their monthly income. The states in red are states whose monthly incomes are unable to meet up with the monthly wage bill. In other words, states that are unable to pay their salaries without having to borrow. States in green, on the other hand, are states whose monthly incomes are enough to adequately pay salaries and still have some leftovers for other engagements.
This is the table:
https://s10.postimg.org/z80qgsc0p/IMG_20151109_193956.jpg

From the table above it can be deduced that Lagos, Rivers, Delta, Katsina and Enugu are the top 5 states with the highest leftover cash even after meeting monthly obligations; while Osun, Plateau, Ogun, Nasarawa and Oyo are the bottom 5 states as well as the states with the greatest inability to meet monthly payments without having to borrow.
Perhaps interesting to note, is the fact that Osun state's monthly shortfall is larger than the monthly shortfalls of Ekiti, Bauchi, Abia, Kaduna, Zamfara, Imo and Gombe, combined.

On a region-by-region basis, it can also be deduced that:

1. In the South-South, all other states are green except Bayelsa and Akwa Ibom.

2. In the South-East, Enugu, Ebonyi and Anambra are able to meet recurrent obligations, but Imo and Abia are unable to.

3. In the South-West, Lagos is the only state currently meeting its recurrent obligations while all other sister states, Ekiti, Ondo, Oyo, Ogun and Osun, are unable to.

4. Taraba and Yobe are the only North-Eastern states without monthly shortfalls

5. Niger, Benue and Kogi are the only North-Central states currently without shortfalls.

6. Zamfara and Kaduna are the only North-West states with shortfalls.

[size=14pt]Ranking Of States By Debt[/size]

https://s12.postimg.org/pi23dsjm5/CTZHZCDUs_AA8w_DS.png



And finally...


[size=14pt]State Sustainability Index[/size]

BudgIT published the final info known as "State Sustainability Index". This is the rating of the states by their financial sustainability. It factors in the state's IGR, as well as its total debt stocks, AND recurrent expenditure before arriving at its final figures.
This is the standard formula used in calculating state sustainability index:

https://s10.postimg.org/e7aovv8ih/IMG_20151109_201854.jpg

Using the formula above with IGR's and debt stocks previously posted, below is the ranking of the states by their sustainability indices:

https://s10.postimg.org/mqu2tmgux/IMG_20151109_200416.jpg

From the table above, it can be deduced that Rivers State, with its high IGR and relatively low debt, is Nigeria's most sustainable state, with Lagos, Enugu, Delta and Katsina all trailing in that order to make up Nigeria's top 5 most sustainable states.

Counting from the bottom, on the other hand, Plateau, Osun, Nasarawa, Borno and Ekiti are ranked as Nigeria's least sustainable states, with their low IGRs and inexplicably high debts.

On a personal region-by-region ranking (gotten by adding all the indices for every state in each region and dividing by the number of states in said region), the South-South is by far Nigeria's most sustainable region with a cumulative average sustainability index of 8.27

Coming a very distant second is the South-East with an index of 6.43

In third place is the North-West with an index of approximately 5.45

Number 4 is the South-West with 5.43

Coming fifth place with an index of 4.39, is the North-Central

And scraping the bottom of the barrel at last place, is the insurgency-torn North-East with an index of 3.97

So, what happened to the millions they supposedly saved from the "turn-around maintenance" a few months ago which the contemptible APC minions littered across Nairaland masturrbated to, in their typical sycophantic bellows? Has the money been squandered already?

Don't be surprised if another stray Sai Baba almajiri comes out here to blame GEJ. But interestingly, would turn around and praise Buhari for the previous gains we had in power generation (which have all come to a grinding halt, by the way, with the advent of the dry season). Desperate hypocrites and their glory hunt.

The hero promised to hit the ground running, but has yet to have a cabinet 6 months into his tenure. This situation is even more shocking considering the fact that this is a man who contested for the presidential office for 12 solid years.
You mean to tell us that all those periods he battled for the seat, starting from 2003, he had no freaking idea what he was supposed to do?
Did Buhari really contest to change the country or was it all an ego trip and the typical Fulani sense of entitlement that pushes them to battle for the presidential seat at all cost JUST BECAUSE?

6 months into this man's tenure and NOT ONE SINGLE BILL has been passed to the senate so far?

What a joke.

kokoA:
So he should go about lying? Or making statements like "How can you say Nigeria is poor, we have the highest number of private jet owners in Africa"

One constant feature present in every 'Sai Baba' chanter across cyberspace is the inability to think or speak like a rationally sound individual.
Nobody is saying Buhari should lie, Mr. Change Voltron, but at the same time, he didn't have a gun pointed to his face.
What any SENSIBLE leader would have done was to use the Indian trip as an avenue to INTIMIATE potential investors on the direction of his economic policy, so people would be sure exactly where they stand as well as the best way to APPROACH the Nigerian market.
But did he do that? NO.
Has Buhari EVER spoken about his economic strategy (we know he doesn't have any)? NO!
At every turn, the ONLY thing that comes out of his mouth is corruption, corruption, corruption.

Corruption, yet he wines and dines with Audu of Kogi.
Corruption, yet he sings and dances with Okoroch
Corruption, yet he has Obasanjo as his navigator - chief crook behind the Haliburton scandal, Siemens scandal, Econet scandal and National ID fraud.

If you can get close to your "Chei Baba," tell him he's blown his first 5 months running in complete circles, and his corruption rhetoric is becoming HACKNEYED.

MizMyColi:
Chief Gbawe
All you've been doing is peep into the thread.

Twenty-three years after the release of Nollywood hit epic movie ‘Living in Bondage’, award winning Nollywood Star Ramsey Nouah in partnership with entertainment entrepreneur Charles Okpaleke are set to produce the sequel to the flick that was the forerunner of the Nollywood phenomenon.

Okpaleke, CEO of Play Ent. Network, it was learnt, has already bought the rights from Kenneth Nnebue, the original producer and writer of the movie that changed the architecture of the home video industry in Nigeria.

Speaking on the remaking of the movie, Ramsey, who is an ardent advocate for New Nollywood, explained the need for a sequel of the movie.

“There is no way you will mention Nollywood without talking about Living in Bondage. It is the kickstarter for the industry I work in today. Its ability to appeal to everyone irrespective of their religious, cultural and social beliefs made it a huge success. The movie addressed issues that we couldn’t talk about then,” the actor said.

According to him, the movie Living In Bondage’s beauty lies in the language used which is understood by a certain part of the country, yet was watched by many.

“So why not bring back this great movie in our contemporary world? The film is a delight any day. People still talk about the way Kenneth Okonkwo killed his wife for money rituals and how he was tormented. Don’t forget the likes of Kanayo O. Kanayo and Bob Manuel Udokwu who intrigued us with their roles. All these made the movie a great hit and we are sure that the sequel will do better,” he assured.

Okpaleke also said having the rights to produce the sequel to Living In Bondage is a huge milestone.

“It’s not often that we visit our roots and bring the story in our present situation. Living in Bondage may have its flaws then but bringing those characters back to our present situation is really interesting and I’m sure it will spark up public discourse that will perhaps engineer growth and development in the industry,” Okpaleke stated.

In 1992, Kenneth Nnebue assembled a crop of talented actors including Kenneth Okonkwo, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Bob Manuel Udokwu and Okey Ogujiefor to deliver a production that tells stories that mirrored the myriad of issues confronting an average Nigerian and kick-started the film industry of today Nigeria.

Preparations are already in full swing to ensure that the production of the remake is not only smooth but also to record huge sales in the box office.
The movie is estimated to gulp millions of naira and will feature a robust cast that will bring magic to the screens.

Can a man give what he does NOT have

Ambode is hardly even the case here, in my humble opinion.

For a man like Fashola - who was in charge of Lagos for 8 solid years - to have his so called legacy deteriorate and totally get wiped out in less than 5 months after leaving office, it clearly shows that he actually made no CONCRETE investments in those so-called sectors he claimed to have 'revolutionalized'.

He built no solid institutions, and made no real change. He made no efforts to unbundle the system and make hospitals under his control strong enough.
This was the same Gbagada Hospital one of his lackeys posted glossy pictures about a few years ago, that showed Fashola commissioning the place and posing for some more photos with his 800 cameramen.

When we assess things properly, we shall see that Fashola's so-called works were only on face value, and as a result, only transient.
The man simply ran a government of propaganda, noise, self-adulation and lies.
He built no institutions but propaganda, doing the works of an L.G.A. chairman (boreholes, street sanitation) and having his butt-lickers come here to showcase their gullibility.

Whynotthetruth:
Are you an Igbo man

A proud one at that.
From the Umuezeobi community of Urualla town, Ideato North L.G.A. of Imo State!

Director's hasty, thoughtless, irrational and angry modus operandi would only prove destructive to the social stability of Alaigbo.
When you build a movement purely based on anger and hate, you are going to need that anger and hate to sustain the movement. And even if you end up succeeding with your demands, you're eventually going to start looking for something else to hate on; and when you dpn't find it, you are bound to turn on your brothers and sisters and start destroying them too. That is the plain truth.

When news broke in 2013 on a "Radio Biafra" station coming out, I was so proud and ecstatic, because I felt it would be a station to promote peace and untiy among the communities of the Eastern region FIRST.
"Finally, we would have a station to help drive positivity and success", I thought.
But when I listened to it, I was so disappointed. This guy spends most of his time spewing venom and telling us about "NEWS FROM THE ZOO" than actually talking about BIAFRAN goals and challenges. It's fuckkking Radio BIAFRA, for goodness sakes, not Radio ZOO!
The Baby Factory menace we face today stems from a cultural stigma that demonizes teen moms. Most of these girls, scared about the harsh doscrimination they face as teen moms, seek to have their babies in secret places, and that's when they fall into the hands of greedy people hoping to make money off the situation. I was hoping this Radio Biafra would help confront such cultural ills by educating its largest demographic - The lower class - Instead, what this animal chooses to prioritize is RADICALIZING these young, poor and impressionable people to help him fight his war while he sits safe in London.
My brother, it is a ticking timebomb, and is only a question of time before these poor people also decide to turn on their innocent but well-to-do Igbo brothers. Now, picture the greedy US devils cashing in on the crisis by arming these poor, semi-literate, angry IPOB fighters (through their new base in Cameroon) and you have another Boko haram in the making. We need to be very, very careful.

And for the record, I do support the dissolution of this country, but not at the risk of our beloved region turning into a warzone. Let that be for ndi abboki and mba mmiri "cowboy hat". Karma is catching up with them as far as I'm concerned.

Ya dig?

Very good!

What a destructive irritant using his brothers and sisters as pawns while he chills out in London.

I have never seen this charlatan push for the educational development of any of his brothers or sisters.
I have never seen this guy seek to help sponsor the education of any Igbo, even if na PRIMARY SCHOOL (He's well to do afterall).
I have never seen this guy seek to engage any of those young boys he exploits, in any skill acquisition program.
If this guy wants to call for his Biafra, shouldn't he atleast seek to first rid our states of the many saboteurs we have as leaders; starting with TA Orji, Orji Uzor Kalu, Rochas, Umahi, Araraume, Udenwa, Nzeribe, Ike Nwachukwu and the others?

Instead, what this basstard does is take poor, young, impressionable boys and arm them up to go waste their lives while he enjoys himself in London. A hate-filled con artist is precisely what he is.
Those poor, uneducated, young boys he uses are actually victims of circumstance. What they actually need are financial support, good education and vocational skill training. Instead, Nnamdi K'anumanu chooses to use them as pawns.

May that psycho rot in hell.

Please, could anyone be kind as to tell us again what the benefits of Buhari's relocation of the Abuja military outpost to Borno have been so far? Because I remember his declaration brought him so much praise from his overzealous, starry-eyed supporters, calling him "a president who leads from the front".
"Wonderful! For the first time, Nigeria now has a president we can be proud of," so I heard.

Well, the bombs are still going off in Borno. The bombs are still going off in Abuja. The soldiers are still getting overpowered by Boko haram militants in Yobe, and since there's no GEJ to blame for "lack of reliable weapons," our resident snake-charming Kim Burantai Kardashian now blames "cowardice". How sweet.

Our president who had promised to lead from the front, now leads with body language. The simple tasking of even creating a cabinet has become a seasonal movie. Mr. Hit-The-Ground-Running really hit the ground shattering. It took him 4 months to compile a list of known crooks and prehistoric cavemen, selling his repackaged feces to his gullible zombies as change. I dey laugh.

Perhaps what I even find most ironic is the fact that his DSS could storm the Akwa Ibom government house based on "intelligence reports" on the presence of weapons, but couldn't receive "intelligence reports" on the terrorists that were about to bomb Nyanya.

What a hilariously tragic irony, this APC.

Well, considering the Ogoni land is still in total disrepair, the locals are still prone to lung cancer (from the pollution) and one of the panelists at the kangaroo court who executed him (Hamid Ali) is currently occupying a nice position under Buhari's new administration, all I've got to wish Mr. Kenule Beeson Saro-Wiwa is a Good Morning.

R.I.P.

Olabukola, please never in your life should you open a thread as useless as this one and still have the nerve to foolishly come out tomorrow to say "Igbo people want to forcefully take SS people, Igbo people are attachee by force" as it is clear even you are dumb as hell to call an Ika man "Igbo" when it suits you

Watch Oliseh's introductory line on his TED talk and cure your ignorance:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8g3fQn3zuA

"My name is Sunday Ogochukwu Oliseh. If you're Ibo, sorry I'm not Ibo. I come from a small village called Abavo in Delta State, but I grew up in Lagos"

Please, Sunday Oliseh is NOT Igbo, and we are happy he isn't. People who are confused about their own identities are of no value to us, and it's best they stay on their lane. Oliseh should bear his cross alone.

...And basically, you're a fhucking idddiot.

Many of you who frequently read the cacophony of political opinions expressed on Nigerian Twitter have most likely come across a certain @OgbeniDipo - a well known APC Internet Knight, Tinubu admirer and Buhari fan.
Dearest Ogbeni was also part and parcel of the vocal critics of Goodluck Jonathan's administration on the microblogging site, especially on areas that involve his handling of the dreaded islamist sect, Boko Haram.

Most memorable of Ogbeni, was his outcry at the time of the Nyanya bombing which happened in 2014.
In case you've forgotten, this was his tweet:

https://s12.postimg.org/ebs2qpkgd/IMG_20151003_171238.jpg
In the tweet above, Mr Dipo attempted to help us understand the state of insecurity and hopelessness of the GEJ administration by emphatically making it clear to us that Nyanya was just a 15 minute drive from the Nigerian Army Post Service. In other words, Boko Haram had become so strong it could strike an area so dangerously close to a federal government facility. Well and good.

Now... fast-forward to a year and 5 months after, Jonathan has been ousted and Buhari has been crowned... and BOOM! Boko Haram strikes at the SAME Nyanya district!

And this is our dear Ogbeni Dipo's tweet:

It's understandable you can't read, just like your certificateless hero, because you're both natural born dunces attempting to take on matters far above your mediocre intellect.
As always, exit door's on the left.

This is for the people looking to pin the blame on Joy Ogwu for something that was no fault of hers but a direct result of the incompetence on the part of the president and his delegates. The UN has just come out to further put the FG to shame:

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, (UNOCHA), has told PREMIUM TIMES that Nigeria was officially informed and properly invited to a high-level event in New York where the Boko Haram insurgency in the Lake Chad Basin was discussed.
This is contrary to the claims by the Nigerian presidency that the country was neither informed nor invited to the meeting where Nigeria’s neighbours and key humanitarian agencies brainstormed on how to tackle the refugee crisis caused by the conflict.
The event was organised by UN Under-Secretary-General, Stephen O’Brien, but Nigeria, the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency, was absent.
Reuters news agency reported last week that U.S. and European Union diplomats were disappointed that Nigeria was not represented at the meeting.
The news of the absence of the Nigerian delegation at the meeting attracted condemnation back home with many blaming it on the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint ministers.
They argued that a competent minister of foreign affairs would have ensured that the country was represented at the meeting where such an important issue was discussed.
In an email to PREMIUM TIMES, on Sunday, backed up with a list of events the President’s delegation was invited to participate, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, insisted the presidency did not get an invite to attend the meeting.
“There is no record of any invitation to the Nigerian Mission as confirmed by the Permanent Representative, Prof Joy Ogwu,” he said.
But a spokesperson for UNOCHA, Jens Laerke, who is based in Geneva, told PREMIUM TIMES over the telephone that not only was the office of the Permanent Representative of the Nigerian Mission to the United Nations officially informed and invited for the event, an invite was in fact sent to the office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, prior to the departure of the Nigerian delegation to the UNGA.
“I’m almost 100 per cent sure that Nigeria was invited. One of the reasons was that I read the original speech by O’Brien in which he acknowledged the presence of the Nigerian government,” he said.
Mr Laerke, however, asked to be allowed to double-check with his colleague in New York, who was in charge of inviting participants for the meeting. He called back four hours later after checking with his organisation’s New York office.
“I’ve just been in contact with my colleague in New York and we can assure you that the government of Nigeria was invited to the event and my colleagues in New York did what they could to ensure that they were provided with the invitation,” he said.
When asked which organ of the Nigerian government the invite was sent to, Mr Laerke responded: “Actually, the government was invited both by direct communication to the Vice President and then subsequently through the permanent representation in New York.
“My colleague told me he actually went there personally to hand over the invitation to make sure they receive the invitation. We really made an effort to make sure the government was aware of the invitation because we really want them to come.”
When asked to for documentary evidence that the Nigerian mission was actually informed, and indeed received and acknowledged the invitation, Mr Laerke demanded an official letter before that could be made available.
PREMIUM TIMES did exactly as he requested.
In an email to this newspaper on Tuesday, Mr Laerke said the New York office of UNOCHA was yet to revert to him.
“I have not obtained any reply regarding your request for access to written documentation. In the meantime, however, I have double checked the matter and I can assure you that Nigeria was invited to the event. We don’t know why they didn’t come.
“You may want to raise this with the Permanent Mission of Nigeria at the UN in New York.
Allow me to add that the Nigerian Government is a valued partner of the UN and UNOCHA,” he wrote.
PREMIUM TIMES contacted Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations but its spokesperson, Tope Elias-Fatile, declined to provide categorical answer when asked if the Mission received an invite for the Boko Haram event.
This newspaper sent Mr. Elias-Fatile an email on Monday asking him five questions, including two dealing with Nigeria’s invitation to and representation at the Boko Haram event.
Other questions dealt with President Buhari’s attendance at the session where Pope Francis addressed the UN.
But in his response, the spokesperson gave a blanket answer which did not categorically answer any of the questions.
He merely said, “Only one answer with brief explanation will suffice to all the questions:
“Mr. President arrived promptly to all events in which he was scheduled to attend, including Pope Francis’ address to the United Nations.
“Specifically, Mr. President arrived promptly at the General Assembly well ahead of Pope’s address and he listened to the address. You can verify this by any video coverage of the event.”
Efforts to seek clarification from Permanent Representative Joy Ogwu by telephone was unsuccessful.
Since Saturday, multiple calls to the Mission’s telephone numbers were answered by an automated voice prompt that kept linking the calls to what appeared a dead extension.
A separate email to the official address of the permanent mission, sent Saturday, has also not been replied.
When contacted on the insistence by the UN that Nigeria was invited to the event, presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said, “Ask them to give you evidence that the invitation was delivered, and the name of the staff who received it. Prof. Joy Ogwu said there was no invitation. We need evidence before anyone can say what she said is inaccurate.”
Laolu Akande, the spokesperson for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, whose office UNOCHA said it also informed of the event, could not be reached to comment for this story. His telephone was switched off the several times PREMIUM TIMES called.

At this point, I would really like to appeal to Buhari and his loyalists to kindly desist from this cowardly tactic of scape-goating and grow up. Somebody needs to let them know that you can win an election via propaganda, but you cannot govern a state with it.
You can fool some of the people some of the time, some of the people all the time, and even all of the people some of the time; but you can NEVER fool ALL of the people ALL the time.
The presidency's desperate attempt to pin the blame on Joy Ogwu is just the lowest of the low.
Accept that you were irresponsible and let it go.
Period!

This would serve as lesson to the other "nPDP" desperadoes who thought they were ultimately spiting GEJ when they were making their noise in 2014.

May favour decamp from Saraki's abode the same way he "progressively" decamped from his former party.

What's funny is that the same people blasting him today were the ones praising him as a progressive in 2013 for joining APC.
Now they call him a "betrayer". Interestingly, he wasn't a betrayer when he was back-stabbing his former party

"Our cooperatives IS dead"

Written by learned lecturers.

Prior to his assumption into office, President-Elect Buhari had told us he was going to hit the ground running.

In the end... he hit the ground shattering.

- [size=13pt]"Losing index status is classic own goal," [/size] says Aberdeen

- Ashmore dumps debt as Africa's biggest economy deteriorates.

- Nigerian currency could face devaluation.



by Paul Wallace Emele Onu

As if being kicked out of one of the world’s biggest emerging-market bond indexes isn’t enough, Nigeria now faces the risk of its credit rating falling further into junk.
Standard & Poor’s, which rates Africa’s largest oil producer four levels below investment grade at B+ with a stable outlook, releases a review of its assessment on Sept. 18. A week later, it’s the turn of Fitch Ratings, which has Nigeria at BB-, one level above S&P, with a negative outlook.
Those decisions come on the heels of JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s announcement last week that Nigerian debt will be removed from its local-currency emerging-market indexes, tracked by more than $200 billion of funds. Adding to a loss of favor among investors is a delay by President Muhammadu Buhari in naming his cabinet since taking power in May as the continent’s biggest economy grapples to cope with oil prices below $50 a barrel and speculation that the currency will be devalued.

“There’s a very high risk of a downgrade,” Jan Dehn, head of research at Ashmore Group Plc, which sold all of its Nigerian Eurobonds and naira debt over the past year, said. “At the moment, I’m pretty far away from even considering buying anything Nigeria. It’s a deteriorating credit.”
The bond market is siding with Ashmore and Aberdeen Asset Management Plc, which also predicts a ratings cut. Yields on Nigerian dollar bonds have been trading higher than those of Kenya -- which has an economy almost a tenth of Nigeria’s size and is rated lower by Fitch -- since mid-August. When that last happened in March, S&P downgraded Nigeria and Fitch followed days later by lowering its outlook from stable.

“Fitch is the one people will be watching most closely,” Alan Cameron, an economist at Exotix Partners LLP in London, said by phone on Sept. 10. “The oil price has been low for a long time and people assume that’s at least a semi-permanent state of affairs, which will have a very significant impact on fiscal and external projections. It is difficult to argue that Nigeria should not be downgraded at this point.”
Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Godwin Emefiele has introduced several foreign-exchange restrictions since December to prevent dollars fleeing the economy amid an almost 60 percent drop over the past year in the price of oil, which accounts for 90 percent of exports and two-thirds of government revenue.
Record Low
Emefiele resorted to the measures as the naira weakened 20 percent to a record of 206.32 per dollar in the year through Feb. 12. While the restrictions helped to stabilize the currency at an average of 198.98 since its all-time low, foreign-exchange trading has dried up, contributing to JPMorgan’s decision to remove Nigeria’s bonds from its benchmark indexes.
“To lose the index status is a classic own goal,” Kevin Daly, a money manager at Aberdeen, who sold all his Nigerian sovereign debt last year, said by phone from London on Sept. 10. “They were trying to convince investors that they should remain in. The problem was that by squeezing the FX market and not allowing any locals to trade it, they just pushed investors to the sidelines. That forced JPMorgan’s hand.”

Fitch could lower Nigeria to B+, while S&P will wait to see Buhari’s cabinet and what economic policies he introduces, said Daly, who prefers Angolan and Gabon dollar securities because of their higher spreads. Buhari has pledged to name his ministers by the end of September. Calls to Femi Adesina, the president’s spokesman, and Ibrahim Mu’azu, a spokesman for the Abuja-based central bank, weren’t answered.
Yields on Nigeria’s $500 million of bonds due July 2023 rose 1 basis point to 8.03 percent as of 10:19 a.m. in London on Monday, having climbing to a record high of 8.54 percent on Aug. 24. Rates on Kenya’s $2 billion of debt maturing in June 2024 fell 2 basis points to 7.52 percent. An index of Nigerian dollar notes has lost 5.8 percent this quarter, compared with an average drop of 0.5 percent among 59 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg.
Average naira-denominated government bond yields rose 7 basis points to 16 percent last week, the highest among 31 emerging markets tracked by Bloomberg.

“It’s markets are basically frozen domestically,” said Ashmore’s Dehn, who prefers Eurobonds issued by Ivory Coast and Kenya because their economies are better managed. “Monetary policy and access to the Nigerian market is being managed in a way that’s incomprehensible to investors. The Buhari administration has shown a remarkable lack of urgency. At a time of negative oil shocks, it is not confidence inspiring.”

China and Russia were the two countries who stood with us during our time of need. Two countries who stood with us when the hypocritical West refused to sell us weapons to help prosecute our war against Boko Haram.

That America could hypocritically snub Nigeria at that period citing "Human rights abuse", while at the same time, licking the butt of an extremely vile abusive country like Saudi Arabia is all the evidence you need on their hypocrisy.

China continued to do business with us as well as buy our oil when America was packing up and leaving. We were finally starting to take our gaze off the West and towards the East... Well... That of course was until Buhari came back in power.

The first thing this old clown did was gather his motley crew of moronns like Amaechi, Rochas, Oshiomhole and his FACKIING BIMBO WIFE Lara to a WHITE HOUSE MEETING WITH OBAMA. This is in the absence of an economic team or group of corporate stakeholders.
Could someone tell me what value Lara Oshiomhole, AMAECHI, Rochas and the other dunces were supposed to add to such a meeting?
You couldn't assemble an economic team for your trip to the white house? The best you could do was gather a group of nonentities with no intellectual value to your tour of the white house? And tomorrow, you hear his sycophantic zombies talk about "Competence". Hilarious!

Now that the Chinese have read his body language and understood that he is merely here to act like a slaveboy to the West, they're rightfully pulling out and facing elsewhere.

I sure hope Buhari's Western masters would be there for him on his time of need.

One Community, One Scam.

I fear that this fat, greedy buffoon might just end up ravaging this state beyond repair if left unchecked.
Only the gullible still believe this crook's scams, and I'm glad many have woken up.

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to complete ANY of those phantom 27 general hospitals which he flagged off, pocketed the billions and left as abandoned projects crawling with weeds, dungbeetles and BILLBOARDS bearing his ugly face?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to pay the 10 month backlog of salaries he owes the starving members of his "Youth Must Work" scam? Has he finally scrapped that failed program or is he still basking in his communist idiocy?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to explain to the people of Imo the economic importance of the numerous NONSENSICAL statues that now litter the state, starting with that hideous, towering "Akachi" white elephant?

Has Mr. Okorocha been able to complete ANY of the numerous "City gates" he started building since 2011, which now look like erect peniises sticking out from the ground?

What factory is he building? The same buffoon who can't pay salaries?
What factory is he building? The same man who killed off Concord Hotelsjust so his own personal hotel (Lamonde Hotel) would rise without competition?
What factory is he building? The same man who converted a public plot of land at MCC road to his own personal piece so his daughter would build her boutique (House of Freeda) on the plot using state funds?

I just dey look this mooroon!

That's what you get when you travel with a pack of politicians instead of an actual ministerial cabinet of technocrats. Including that dunce Oshiomhole who is only good at throwing wild figures at Okonjo-Iweala while making baseless accusations instead of coming clean and telling people the truth that he doesn't have a single clue what the documents from his 'probe' mean.
