Buhari wasn't president when factories in Ikeja began browning off and selling their facilities to churches.


He wan't here when 80% of SME died away and the rest went on life support.

Buhari wasn't president when landlords were being watched charging rent in US dollars and stores were selling in hard currency.


Buhari wasn't president when wheat farming collapsed and Cote d'Ivore overtook us in Cocoa production.

Buhari didn't destroy Iwopin paper mill or ALSCON in Ikot-Abasi, a single factory that at a point brought in 30% equivalent of what we got from oil.

Buhari didn't take us from net exporter of oil palm products to lazy importers of the same.


Buhari didn't make us importers of petrol and diesel nor is he responsible for killing of the textile industry.

He didn't destroy our forest resources or ran down power stations like Egbin until only three out of twelve turbines work.

People shout policy but there is no policy that can transform a 'post-war' economic environment with the snap of the finger and government should just tell the people that this thing is what it is.

Government also has to water down expectations on oil prices ever rising above 55 dollars because it is just not possible in the age of Shale and renewables.

This nation is cornered and it has no choice than to reform it's lifestyles and go back to work.

It has to reform it's justice system such that it can jail it's thieves and reward those who do things right. We are refusing to allow hardship nudge us in the right direction but prefer to explain our woes as a personal failure of Buhari to draft policy from sheer air.

They were trampling people to death on job queues before he came on board.

Where are your farms to save you from food importation or your refineries to save you from seeking dollars to import fuel?

Where are your schools to educate your children without sending them to foreign universities when you can afford it?

He isn't two years in control yet and I believe he deserves a little more understanding given the gradients of the point where he took over.


Buhari met all these things that way, plus a devastating war that devoured the nation from a region and we have the choice of working with him to restore and rebuild the country or allow ourselves to get us into false sentiments, take advantage of us to return us to the years of the locust.

You seem not to understand what the protest is about.....You are just busy defending Buhari....Who is talking about Buhari. We are talking to all our political leaders. They have all failed irrespective of party, ethnic group or religion. And we need them to take us seriously and begin to do better.

Enough of all the promises and telling us to be patient......For example they say no money to pay salaries, yet they are not taking pay cuts, they are not reducing their luxurious spending.....yet they are tell us to be patient....does that show seriousness.....more like they are just taking us for a ride........ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, THIS IS REAL LIFE NOT CHILDS PLAY

Beranco:
m just thinking aloud.......
During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with mind of his own. On one fateful day, Stalin came to Politburo meeting with a live chicken. Standing in front of audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely Unclad.

After which, he threw the chicken on the ground. The Unclad chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & helpless creature.

The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking towards his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership. He said, "This chicken represents the people".

"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshiping you".

"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that, you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

Breath taking, isn't it ?

Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.

Take a look at those they call their heroes. They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is. They are the same people who are responsible for their predicament.

#Could this be the Nigerian citizens situation presently?# In ma noble Opinion, i think it is.
Copied.

Wow....wow.....wow

It appears some people are getting this thing mixed up......This protest is not about Buhari...
This protest is a message to Nigerian leaders....APC, PDP, APGA, SDP, Igbo, Huasa, Yoruba, Muslim, Christian, Traditionalist, Atheist...etc.
That we are tired of the bad leadership and policies and that we need progress to be made....Nigerians are suffering and its no longer a funny matter..No one should play politics with our lives and the lives of our children

Am I the only one seeing Neferunenaji, is that an asian name...............Fake news everywhere in Nairaland.
We go soon rename am Trashland

How did someone like this become a leader in Nigeria
Even hear him talking, saying people will die before he is arrested......See how little he values the life of his fellow Nigerian

Its real sad how these thugs have managed to hijack power....

Even in Columbia at the height of Pablo Escobars power they managed to block his political ambition....But its free for all in Nigeria

Zane2point4:
Ask the two girls a technical question now am sure they cant answer it, just ask them what is a server, or drivers in computing, they will just open mouth.
forget about that result, even the person that made the highest grade in mechanical engineering doesnt know what is an oil filter and what it does in automobile.
They just read and cram everything then go to exams to offload it.

Stop hating...In na so e easy why you no go make your own first class....Bad belle people

cryptic21:
I strongly believe that they are first class students but the perfect score system is flawed, to get a perfect score in most university in Nigeria you have to get A in all your courses ( that is from first year to the last year). getting one B is already something less than 5 points, but apparently in unilag you can this is possible.

Nothing flawed about it...same applies all over the world....we have seen Nigerian students get perfect score in different parts of the world...we even got one recently in Japan.....

Lets stop all this jealousy talk and appreciate our people

The black race is talented and gifted, we just need to love ourselves more

What is wrong with this country and what is wrong with Northerners....
How are they not enraged, when they see their Northern leaders failing them

Even this learned Doctor is suffering from the same mentality,....
He was on point and totally derailed when it mattered most.....He has a Northern, president, governor, house of rep members, senator
And the best he could come up with was that they are not being helped because they are not Christians,.........
What kind of mental slavery and fuckery is this........
Is it written in his genes that you should not criticize a Norther Leader or Islamic religious bodies

We are in trouble in this country ooo.....we do not have leaders we have slave masters..

nurey:
Well you are saying two different things, am not as old as you think, I just know prices due to receipts I also found as my dad and mum (especially) keeps those things. Things were cheaper those days but we could say life wasn't as easy but things are expensive nowadays but we have things that made life easier.

How much was cat fish in the late nineties, sardine was 50naira, Maggi was cheap, Maggi 2 minutes noodles was 5naira and it came with its own plate and spoon, how much was milo and bournvita, we practically had this regularly on the table. How much was cabin biscuit. Derica of rice was 35naira, beans was 20naira.

My mum cooked confirm 1 week soup for 500naira, am talking of soup with 5 lives. We ate moimoi every Sunday morning with sardine virtually swimming inside. Grinding pepper then was 10 for petrol use and 5 naira for Nepa use.

We paid 1000 monthly as Nepa bill in Ikoyi, our lister gen was bought 30k very powerful old soldier. If I tell you the price of this things I listed now, my brother, you will know things were cheap then and available to the poor.

My friend you are lost in relativity.....You are comparing price list of the past to todays currency value

Come on man/.....As at that time does prices were outrageous,,,,,and could only be afforded by the rich
Nothing has changed since then....we ares still in the same mess

KingGBsky:
Oh my brother this is were you get it wrong, ofcourse there is peace in this world Christ came to change that. There was no peace in the world before Christ came but everything have changed now since He came to die for our sins.
There is PEACE in the world with JESUS CHRIST. Only Him gives peace when He lives in. Everything changes and the world is not too big to recieve PEACE only if they believe in Him.

My point is the world will always be divided, until it is judged
Peace exist for those that accept Christ......

But you and I know that in this world everyone will not accept Christ

cjshooter:
MY PAIN IS THAT ALL THIS PEOPLE WONT COME OUT THAT DAY.... THEY WILL ALL BE INDOORS SEEKING FOR SOME OTHER PERSON'S CHILDREN TO DIE.. WE NEED TO WISE UP..

TAKE A LOOK AT THE SO CALLED BIAFRANS BEEN SHOT ALL THIS WHILE.. NOBODY QUESTIONED THE SOLDIERS AND THOSE MEN THAT SAID THEY ALSO SUPPORT BIAFRAN,THEY ARE ARE ALWAYS INDOOR ALLOWING THE POOR TO DIE.....

WHEN I SAW SOULS THAT WERE LOST IN THE PROCESS OF PROTEST,I SHEDDED TEARS.. SOMEONE SENDING YOU TO PROTEST WILL ALWAYS BE INDOOR AND YOUR FOOLING YOURSELF.. AM EXCESSIVELY ENLIGHTENED TO BE BRAINWASHED...

AM A CORE IGBO MAN AND WILL ONLY SUPPORT BIAFRANS THE DAY THE LIKES OF NGIGE,OKOROCHA,OBIANO,PETER OBI,ORJI UZOR KALU WILL COME OUTSIDE TO JOIN THE PROTEST,ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT,THEY ARE ON THEIR OWN...


CALL ME A COWARD,WHO CARES.. YOU CAN DIE AS A HERO AND GO AND ENJOY YOUR DUPLEX IN HEAVEN..AS FOR ME,I SUFFERED MUCH IN A UNIVERSITY TO COME OUT AND DIE JUST LIKE THAT....

****QUOTE ME 1MILLION TIMES,I WONT REPLY YOU WHEN YOU DONT HAVE A REASONABLE THING TO SAY

Bros, WALAHI, your days in University was not wasted.
Abeg we need more people like you in Naija.....

I hope people are listening...use your brain to think, don't allow anyone reason you into nonsense....

Afriifa:
if u had brain like you just claimed, you wouldn't have quote me back because I said u shouldn't, ooh yeah, I repeat don't quote me again, I really hope u understand this time.

Did it again...SO WHAT NOW

KingGBsky:
I'm not talking about achievements or development in this sense oga...what I'm talking about is love peace and progress in Nigeria.
With all the prosperity in the world she still have no peace. tell me where there is peace in the world? is it usa or russia or saudi arabia or iran, japan, mexico and all tjis super nations. They simply dont sleep with their eyes closed and this is what the devil brings to the world with all his wealth.

Bros, If it is peace you are looking, It does not exist in this world....This is not our home, this not our world

To you i say "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

Rather lets focus our energy in making this world as comfortable as possible for our selves and our fellow man

Afriifa:
Mr man, please look for someone your own size, n don't quote me again.

Sorry, Next time I will look for someone with a brain
Have a nice day

Afriifa:
One of the reasons why I see a better Nigeria is because, the Living Yoruba Legend is still ALIVE

Better Nigeria....because a jobless governor is kneeling down at the pulpit....
Pls tell me you are not this gullible....tell me you were just joking

bezimo:
Great Governor

The man with a lion heart.

How I wish the other governors can have the boldness of this man.

This is the problem with the citizens of this country.....Is that what he was voted for
To be running around fighting the federal government
When is he going to sit down and lay foundation for the prosperity of Ekiti state and its people

Austino20:
The governor of the people

Based on what...what is his achievement in Ekiti
What is his track record

ABEG PARK WELL

KingGBsky:
Only if our leaders follow His footstep and turn their way to God.
The truth is that what we need now as a nation is God to help us shange the course of this nation.
This nation is in turmoil... we are in an economic reccession with poverty loomimg everywhere. It will take God nothing to deliver this country from recession and from the problems we are facing now only if we change our ways and TURN TO GOD.
We as a nation needs God and God needs us.
This is one of the reason why I was never in support of a muslim and Buhari becoming president. It cannot work especially in a country like Nigeria were we always call on God in whatever we want in life.
To follow my words closely tell me one place in Nigeria were they have a muslim as Governor and are doing well tell me in conquest.

My friend this you logic is screwed,
Let me ask a question, the top ten countries in the world, how religious are they....
My guy open your mind......Even the bible says what you sew you will rip
Other nations are working hard and building their institutions and getting this done and as such are properous.

What is the work that we do here in Nigeria, what kind of choices do we make......Bros we are ripping what we have been sewing
It has nothing to do with christian or muslim...Is Dubai a Christian Nation...
Abeg Park well

IMASTEX:
Nigeria needs prayers

NO WE NEED WORKS.....
Remember your bible....Prayer without works is dead.


We have been praying and praying.....it is time to roll up our sleeves and work......
#Letworksbegin

I have only one thing to say.....IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM, THEN YOU BETTER MOVE TO AMERICA.......

Do people read at all....See display of ignorance and pure hatred.....

A senate member raised section 4 of the article to state that the president has to seek consent before sending any troops to another nation
The Senate president informed the member of section 5, which state that the president can send out troops based on certain conditions.

Simple and straight forward. Yet see the nonsense comments people are making.
People say he is going to fight war in another country....Note: He is not the one fighting any war, Its ECOWAS enforcing rules and regulations within the sub region, of which Nigeria is a signatory to. As such, we are mandated/duty bound to support the decisions of ECOWAS.

So this is an ECOWAS declared action backed by the United Nations.....So people should stop talking ignorantly

otokx:
Salvation Ministries is the no 1 brand when it comes to churches in Port Harcourt; Redeemed, Deeper life, Assemblies, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Chosen, OPM, and all the rest put together are still trying to understand how overtake overtook overtake.

David Ibiyeomie continue

I cant really understand this statement.....what do you mean by overtake....The last time i checked the essence of the church is to win souls for Christ.....So which one is overtake again

All church are the property of Christ.....so what is the competition there....There is obviously sometime wrong.
Funny I have never heard of mosques competing against each other because they know the purpose of the mosque is for praying to God.

ASK YOURSELF WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR CHURCH

I hope we are all seeing the real enemies in Nigeria....Its is not an ethnic problem, it is not a religious problem, its not even an APC/PDP problem.
The problem is that thugs and criminals have hijacked power.

Imagine if he was a US governor and he made such a remark to a group of college students.....he would have been forced to resign the next day.

We need to join hand and let all these politicians know where the real power is.

IF HIS DAUGHTERS WERE ATTENDING THAT UNIVERSITY WILL HE MAKE SUCH USELESS PRONUNCIATIONS. SHAME ON HIM...HE HAS ONLY SHAMED HIMSELF, YOUTUBE VIDOES WILL BE THERE FOR GENERATIONS TO SEE.........THIS NONSENSE TALK WILL BE THE LEGACY THEY WILL REFERENCE HIM WITH

Lets cutout all the name calling of tribes. The fact of the mater is that Nigeria is hugely blessed in its diversity. All tribes have great accomplishments and abilities.
Lets make our diversity work for us.

I believe the only quarrel we have is the people who will not allow peace to rain in this nation, the people who are standing in the way of the greatness of this nation.

LETS CHANNEL OUR DIVERSITY IN FIGHTING THE ILLS OF OUR SOCIETY AND MAKING NIGERIA THE GREATEST NATION IN THE WORLD.
this is the only battle worth fighting

DDeliverer:
"I don't commit fraud on a DAILY basis like you Nigerians do"

This oyibo spoke out of turn, but did he lie?
Criminals everywhere...left, right, centre.

Even our So called leaders are fraudsters..

Of all the people you know personally, how many carryout fraud
Note that this same scenario plays out for most Nigerians......

Don't let the ills of minority determine the faith of the majority......Because when you say Nigerians are fraudsters , that includes you TOO

Well that is the world for you........Fallacy of Generalization
Anyways....I applaud David for his maturity and for not going down to the guys level of SCUM

Best news I have heard all day...........Just imagine the nonsense the guy was doing.......Its like people forget their humility once they make money.

See has the guy is looking humble in police station...Thank you Gov Ambode for the brain reset..

Has comprehension become so difficult in Nigeria now....Abi na so our school system don bad reach.

The article is simply explaining our potential loss in power and not that power supply has dropped.
In summary what the article is say is that we have an installed capacity of about 8000MW
However due to limitation in gas supply and seasonal drops in water level we are unable to harness half of that, which translates to potential revenue loss to the nation.

HOPE IT IS CLEAR NOW...

A far as i'm concerned his just using his position to mingle with the stars................FAMZING

Who compiled this.......So the south west does not have ethnic groups....

Na wa o...All the innocence gone.....Anytime i just remember that holla at your boy video and what i see these days....Na wa ooo

Atiku2019:
Merry Christmas

If una like make una post this him picture on every thread, we no dey vote Atiku
We are tired of this same corrupt group.....
