Nigeria would have been far better with osinbanjo as commander in chief, he knows how to rule. Not one globetrotter that thinks only his body language will solve our problems. He has betrayed my trust and I am disappointed in him.

Yeah. Osinbajo seems to be on top of things for now. He has visited about three of four States on consultations since his 'oga' took a hike abroad ostensibly on vacation.

This Osinbajo sef. Who made the dollar scarce? Is America no longer printing the currency? Why should the dollar alone be the dererminating factor in Forex? Is it the only foreign currency available in the international market? Why is everything about the American dollar? Government should be proactive in solving the problem of hyper inflation in the country.

How was Trump able to understand what Buhari was saying?
We Nigerians hardly understand him self...

But Buhari speaks English nah! Anyways, even if The Donald cannot understand him, interpreters dey nah.

Another dumb notice me visit by the same dumb Governor. I hope he is not going to display the billboard of the visit all over Owerri as his achievement again

Wait for it! The billboard is gonna come and will be mounted in strategic positions. Another achievement of the 'peoples' governor! Damn!

Thisis2raw:
I don't even understand how Nigerian govt is been run again..


Wats a governor doing in Ghana govt house?

I wonder oooo! And a dullard who posted this termed the visit to be discussion on agriculture, commerce and education as it will affect the two States! Can you imagine? We recall various economic tours of the Governor abroad which yielded no result till date. This visit to Ghana is nothing but a jamboree for the governor and his acolytes.

TonyeBarcanista:
This is one joke taken too far..


@Those saying she will win, we'll see how she can even win the PDP ticket and how she will win the main election.

She should know where to draw the line between sycophants and real followers.

A joke taken too far indeed even though I don't believe the story.

She fainted because her husband flew her family to US to celebrate her birthday? Seriously? Really? What a joke! Where are these people from? This is the 21st century, people!

The company mills 10 trailer loads of rice daily. Is this possible? Somethings are just not believable!

Nigeria’s current minimum wage is N18,000 ($60) with organised labour asking it be increased to at least N50,000 ($166), despite several state and local governments defaulting on the existing amount.
The Nigerian government has not acceded to labour’s request amidst a biting recession that has crippled Africa’s largest economy.
Workers have meanwhile complained the N18,000 is way below a living wage and cannot meet basic needs of workers.
Supporters of a South African minimum wage say it can stimulate growth as workers can spend more, and reduce inequality.
Critics say it could lead to increased unemployment as employers will be unable to afford higher wage bills.
Credit ratings agencies have said agreeing a minimum wage would help Africa’s most industrialised economy hold onto its investment-grade rating by stabilising the labour market and reducing the number of strikes.
The balance we have sought to strike is that it must not be too low, so that it doesn’t affect the lowest paid workers, but not too high that it leads to massive job losses,” Mr. Ramaphosa told a news conference.
Mr. Ramaphosa said the national minimum wage, which equates to 20 rand (1.50 dollars) per hour, would come into effect in May 2018.
Businesses that are unable to afford the minimum wage would be permitted to apply for an exemption of up to 12 months, he said.
The Treasury had also thrown its political weight behind the policy initiative.
Chief economist at Nedbank, Dennis Dykes, said the agreement was a sign of an improving relationship between labour, business and government, but warned that its implementation needed to be monitored.
“It is by no means certain this will lead to job creation.
“It needs to be watched carefully for any negative effects,” Mr. Dykes said.
Monthly earnings for employees averaged 18,045 rand (1,200 dollars) per month in May 2016, according to Statistics.
Many workers earn far less than that, with domestic workers and farm labourers among the lowest paid.
Some unions had asked for a minimum wage of as much as 4,500 rand.
South Africa’s mining sector was brought to its knees by a crippling five-month stoppage over pay in 2014,pushing the economy to the brink of a recession.
South Africa’s unemployment rate hit its highest level on record, 27.1 per cent of the workforce, in the third quarter of 2016, and it remains amongst the world’s most unequal societies.

Good! Nigeria, the so called largest economy in Africa, should follow suit, or even surpass that amount.

In a bunker? This man must be a certified crook. He cleverly avoided the banks, but he was still found out.

This is serious. Audu Ogbeh should tell us another, Please. He should rather blame his federal government for the rising cost in price of food items than on security men at road blocks. The assertion by Ogbeh is very funny.

Okorocha paid debts being owed And Niger Delta youth pays him a solidarity visit for pAying a debt



All these Tonye and Abagworro kind of youth groups are the one giving this mumu Governor hope

Can you imagine? Is government no longer a continuum? These are hired youths, no doubt but they are a bad representation of purposeful youths.

tempest01:
I think the constitution should be amended to cater for a situation if the president or governor is away for say 2 months, a procedure should be activated to find out his true state of health.

What you have stated is already in the Constitution. However, what needs to be added is the duration of the medical tourism as you suggested.

Ok. So, what's next?

After all these protest and energy now; what's next? Nothing. Abeg make Buhari resign o jare

The spirit of the protest is to create awareness to the suffering of hapless Nigerians. It was not intended to change things overnight but change will certainly come sooner than later.

Bitterleafsoup:
It is too bad that APC enjoys this type of drama. If the President is extending his leave he should tell us on video so we know he is alive.

Why this type of mystery? How inconsiderate can you be to well wishers?

They know we have faced lies from the elite in the past. We don't deserve this.

#enoughisenough

The lie continues. Yet, Nigerians know better.

"People Have Travelled Down To Lagos, Booked Into Hotels, Inconvenienced Friends, Taken Time Off Work.

And All You Could Do Is Appear With Your Unkempt Beard On Instagram To Tell Nigerians You Had Canceled The Protest After Over 1 Million People Had Been Galvanised And Mobilised.

This Remains The Tragedy Of Leadership In Nigeria, Tuface Was Not The Main Force Behind This Protest, He Had Backers And Sponsors. These Powers Picked A Weak Puppet, They Could Even Have Picked Majek Fashek But They Decided To Settle For clueless Tuface. The Backers Have Probably Struck A Deal With The Federal Government And Pulled The Plug.

We Have Seen This Drama Play Out Time And Time Again In Nigeria - Where Masked Political Oligarchs Pick, Sponsor And Prop up Puppets The Weakest In The Cast - From Shagari a school teacher with no political experience , Yaradua a man who was terminally ill, Jonathan - a "lucky" political accident & Now Buhari, An Old Retired Weak Narrow Minded Military Dictator, Without A Single Personal Political, Social or Economic achievement To His Credit Apart From A Collection of Highly Prized Zebu Cows. I Keep Saying, Don't Blame Buhari, Blame Those That Sponsored Him.

Until We Have The Masses Pick And Sponsor Their Own Leaders, Men Of Patriotic Convictions To Lead This Nation - We Will Continue To Have The Tuface Charade, Where You Give A Famished Deluded Bush Mouse The Golden Sceptre Meant For A Lion.

Anyway The Protest Is Still Going Ahead, With or Without........what does he call himself again...?"

He calls himself 2Face and indeed, he has two faces to him. Somebody like Charly Boy would not have backed out of the protest if he was the organiser, no matter the intimidation. 2Face is a disappointment. He should not have started what he cannot finish.

Femi Adesina and Co. should spare Nigerians the duty of speculating about the health status of their President. They deserve to know the truth. An indefinite stay in UK just to await the result of some medical test is not it, that is assuming it is even the true state of affairs.

Valfrankie:
What exactly is wrong with our President, this people should stop hiding it and come out open, whatever it is. NIGERIANS DESERVE TO KNOW. Are they pulling another Yar'adua on us? THEY SHOULD TELL US. GOVERNMENT OF LIES. Didn't FEMI ADESINA say this man was hale and heathy, how come it's suddenly SICK LEAVE?

Femi Adesina is as confused as the whole lot of them. Swinging from one lie to the other has become his hallmark.

Built2last:
I broke the news last night that Mr president is not coming back bearing their reason that presidential jet is faulty. They knew tgat alibi will not fly. They now changed it this morning. Mynd44 deleted that post even when I stated that details were coming soon.

Lets reason together here..There is treason brewing here. The president's signature is being FORGED. Someone is IMPERSONATING THE PRESIDENT. Same thing happened with Yaradua. Who signed the letter forwarded to National assembly that Mr President is extending his leave..

You do not wait in London for tests. You can return for it. You have a job to do. And if the tests are negative?
Plus, did they tell us he was not well? so what facking tests are they talking about? Was he not seen eating with Ambode and watching Channels TV?

The truth will soon come out....the script is simple. The extension of the leave will remain indefinite till they figure out how to handle the VP. Once the VP is taken care of. The truth will be unveiled.

Tell VP to watch his back and pray for him.

I need the press to ask VP if he has spoken to PMB since he left. Nigeria brace up.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT BUHARI EXTENDS VACATION, WRITES NATIONAL ASSEMBLY

President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the National Assembly today, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors.

The President had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning. The notice has since been dispatched to the Senate President, and Speaker, House of Representatives.

Mr. President expresses his sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.

Something is definitely cooking! And Femi Adesina is part of the conspiracy.

Harkindeylee:
Really
Why will he cancel such a big most anticipated day in Nigeria....
Protest that meant/means alot to most Nigeria... People were/are ready to storm out, leave their businesses, office to come and vent dre anger on this protest.

#hecancelledit

Nigeria!! Which way?
Who is going to give us hope??!!
who is going to bring the real change we really need??!!

You really thought 2Face or whatever he is called was gonna give you hope? He does not have what it takes to lead a popular protest. It is the height of cowardice to cancel such well publicised and much anticipated protest at the eleventh hour. By this singular act of betrayal, 2Face have lost face with the Nigerian youths.

This boy does not have the courage to lead a protest and he dare mooted one in the first place? He must be a joker.

LivingHuman:
The British government this morning issued a statement to the effect that former Governor James Onanefe Ibori was deported to Nigeria following the conclusion of his jail term in Britain.

The statement, however, disclosed that British officials would continue the legal process to confiscate the proceeds of the former governor’s loot, which would then be returned to Nigeria.

The statement, obtained by SaharaReporters, read, “Having been jailed for his crimes in the UK and served his sentence, Mr. Ibori has now been returned to Nigeria. The UK will continue to pursue, vigorously, the legal process to confiscate and return to Nigeria, Ibori's criminal assets.

The UK is determined to lead the way in a coordinated global effort to bring the corrupt to justice.

“That is why it was vital we sent a clear message to the world that James Ibori, a man who stole millions from the Nigerian Government and laundered those proceeds in the UK, has been held to account.

“Mr. Ibori's return will not prevent prosecutors from pursuing confiscation proceedings against him.‎”

So the dude was even deported, never to set foot on English soil again. And some senseless and beclouded Nigerians are here celebrating his return! Unfortunate.

The face of a common thief! An ex convict being celebrated like this? Some Nigerians need to get their priorities right. This is so shameful and absurd.

Even though Akpabio made little impact, he stole Akwa Ibom State blind. He ought to be probed.
