his is why I don't support any party. apc and pdp senators, ministers, legislators etc will sit down together and take these decisions in unison irrespective of how it is biting he common man and yet one youth will carry them on their head...

youth most times we be our own problems

This is a case of a a scam company suing a whole country and won because the government where educates illiterates who just love throwing money in the air for outsiders, thieves working in government to cash and not the citizens whose money is being wasted, how could you go into business with someone who does not have track records that could be investigated and confirmed

if not that if the government would allow the court verdict we the citizens who were not there when they made the deal would suffer for it, I would have encourage P&ID to seize Buhari and those legislature that want to use billi to buy cara family and friends to cover up the debt

but they are fraud such scam should not be condoned

Good news las las

These are the people that deserve car but not billion naira cars that some rob the people blindly are proposing awon barawo

DominusPrime:
5.5bn for how many people, just to buy ride? These are people who already have mansions and cars and jeeps everywhere. yet they cannot sacrifice one for the country and the massive responsibilities they claim to have at hand?

imagine o they can't even sacrifice one just one and you want to spend those people's sweat 5.5billi the future of many youth and retirement fund of the elderly ones on cars he need a brain check

only in Nigeria, people are suffering the gvt want to increase

VAT that is already high and kuku kill us cos we have committed a crime by putting them there

only in Nigeria CEOs of banks connived with CBN to charge customers for withdrawing their money and depositing their money along with card maintenance cars that I don't have but still they debited me 300 hundred naira GTB why 150 again for what I did not know and 53 or so monthly upon that na wan increase pos charges join thieves only in Nigeria

Just by saying it's unfair bla bla bla are you not feeling ashamed of yourself for saying that, do you senate president consider where the money is coming from? How those money was? made and the effect on people's lives who believed you are there to represent them and make laws that would cater for their well being and indirectly yours, don't you have a car or cars already, your salaries alone is more than enough to get u what you want in life

that is y it is very important for the government to make the legislative arm of government unattractive so that anybody vying for a post at the legis.. would be more effective and concerned about working with the gvt and the people for their betterment rather than being more concerned about lavishing public fund

place them on salaries that is not more than 5 million or less, an official car that would be changed by the government when due and those cars are not meant to be a souvenir when they are living office

bunch of money mongers

if it's an insult leave and let people who are ready to do the job for less occupy that seat ole

Though I'm Igbo guy, I also like Yoruba girls. They re well mannered and well cultured. Just that the unserious ones among them re good heart breakers.

kikikikiki dem don break your heart before bro I am a Yoruba I agree is like breaking guys heart is in their gene

Mercy2006:

Mercy2006:

UdechiHD:
Davido's Dad and all his uncles speak Igbo. They were all born in Enugu.
His Grand mom is from Enugu and married Davido's Grand Dad when he worked as a medical practitioner in the City..
This isn't news.

what if this guy I quoted is actually right that bring me to a conclusion the only way to end Igbo and Yoruba yanga is making sure men from the Yoruba side bed ladies from the Igbo side and men from the Igbo side bed ladies from the Yoruba side you would realise all this tribe Nairaland war BTW both sides would stop

The result would be if you as a man is insulting igbos it won't take you long to realise you are actually insulting your wife, family or gf so we go begin apply sense before we yab each other

which default mode I dey this morning sef

Na only Hausa girl davido never bed, bed Yoruba bed Americana ice on the cake bed Chioma fortunately for her na her stake high pass for davido relationship try Hausa whether u fit consider changing ur mind obo

juvewalex:
They got no other choice unless they want to cause more troubles for themselves.

What will the returnees be doing when they get back to Nigeria ? It's a tough situation for them

it is very tough but people still dey make am big and in legit ways make God favour us

kalu61:
haha, ls you left black ass no longer useful to you?

very useful

kinglee007:
You're very right. And it seems we're "kinda" doing that but (and it's a BIG BUT), the FG has to do this without any iota of COMPROMISE and SENTIMENT. Is this absolutely possible?

yes it is very possible but with the kind of government we run in Nig from day one, I would say NO it is not possible na dem dem they will still compromise... despite all this measure with just one call to the high authority or comptroller general of custom by a very close associate just watch how the rules would bend to one person's favour

kinglee007:
Bros, the local brand rice are not yet of high quality as you think. Have you consumed it lately? Yes I quite agree that one should patronize his or her locally made products as this is what aids the development of a country. But ask yourself, is Nigeria really there yet?
Regarding the rice ban and smuggling into the country, I will appreciate if the FG had put things in place to ensure that the locally made rice matches the quality of the foreign rice. Afterall, the foreign rice is more consumed not because of it's name "Foreign" but because of the taste. As much as we want to deny this fact, most of us know that the foreign rice tastes quite better than the locally made rice. And this really should not be this way. The FG can implement a "strict monitoring team" to ensure that we get a much more healthy and pleasant rice that is quite good to consume and produced in large quantity that can accommodate much more to consume. Provide the National Association of Rice Producers the adequate funds and support it needs to ensure this is done and let them "Honestly" use these funds for the right purpose and we will see a positive change in the right direction to development. While growing up, I used to know how good the Abakaliki rice used to be. What happened then? Let me guess, not much support from the government or rather, parasitic heads placed in positions they shouldn't have been over the years fed on the funds allocated for this purpose. And as much as this government wants to put us into "the right direction" with strict polices such as the closure of borders, they need to spray the insecticide inside the house and close the doors in other to kill the mosquito parasites within. Imagine if Dangote (and his likes) was given the opportunity to go into rice production in mass. Don't you think there will be a difference? So far so good, his spaghetti, macaroni, sugar, salt and other consumable goods produced by him has to an extent matched the foreign counterparts. This is "locally made". Imagine what will happen if other major locally made rice producers follow suit. Who will complain?
Someone said something about security being curbed to an extent since the closure of the boarders. This to an extent is true. But like I said, "to an extent". Baba has a plan this I know for sure but he needs good advisers that will make his plan work.

May God Bless The Federal Republic Of Nigeria and bring back the Giant (in all areas) in us.

I totally agree with what you said except your question is Nig there yet? this is one question that is killing this country we don't have to wait till we are there let's start from here from somewhere

Jesus Christ shey nor be that girl wey her picture surface that time be this addiction is a disease

BabaIbo:
It's a nice idea but can they out the necessary things in place

can they put the necessary things in place? that is another thing and another prayer point entirely, I really hope the government would

Orissodiq:
Am in Sokoto state presently and got the opportunity to travel as far as Nigeria Niger border at ILLELA. The thing is affecting Niger like atomic bomb and i love it. Most of the attacks on Northern Nigeria are from their side most especially those bandits. After they attacked they will run over back to Niger because its a safe heaven for them dia

thanks for this, do you know how long we have been asking abd complaining that the government should do something about our porous boder until now that the government sprang into action had it been they yielded there won't be issues of Fulani herdsmen this and that and if not for the huge to ensure food security still the government won't do anything but thank God they are now taking active measures

Foodforthought:
Meanwhile a bag of rice = #22,500. Na hunger go kill una

are you expecting it to be 10 thousand before?? sure those foreign rice that find their way in should cost 10k before sure the price would sky rocket if we we can't afford it we would start paying attention to local brand of rice that are of high quality and start purchasing that is how it works

That is what a person with common sense would do and keep watching others that are not smart struggle racing with high prices of imported rice, if one could get local quality rice to consume one needs to change ones mentality

If not for the sake of I would be doing free advert I would have like to suggest some Nig brands you should give a try

madenigga:
So since they have hitches they should open it at once to everything. Talk reasonable abeg

don't mind that enemy of progress

BabaIbo:
They should apply it to every border in order to be transparent.
I also heard they don't operate at the border alone, they also go to people's stores to pack their rices, he said he went to somewhere one day and saw them packing bags of rice from people's stores, over 4 trailers according to him.

It's well, make them try release fund give us and make friendly business policies make we for startup factories/companies

that is the way forward I am really glad they could go to those stores and get those smuggled rice out before they kill us with imported rice in this country

the government should ensure the supply of improved grains, probably the government should get samples of rice grains from other countries and subsidize it for us to purchase and grow cos this our local grain is not of good quality

if all these are put in place afterwards importation of rice should be made a treasonable offence against our economy and we that consume it when we have no other option we would learn to love and consume what we produce

Singapore was worse than Nig, this was the step they took and today it's another story

Okoroawusa:
The northern border with Niger is also closed...

This border closure dey sweet my belle o!

lol... I which they could strengthen it more, and create job opportunities for youths via farming of rice etc when we are close to self sufficiency they could ease it a lil bit, ever since the closure it seems security issues and illegal smuggling has reduced drastically but e still dey sha

we can't keep importing everything we need we import sooo they we dey import tooth pick tooth pick olorun who do us for this country sef

BabaIbo:
Maybe for north but in the south it is now tight o. ..
They no even dey accept bribe according to one guy, na you go offload your goods yourself enter their point come drop am inside water... This there will surely be exceptions tho.

lol the water part got me.. there would surely be exceptions... How would it look like if they could do same in the Northern borders

Oga presido this your move to ensure food sufficiency is the only thing you have done that has impressed me so far don't let those country mess with your plan

but come Mr president they are still smuggling rice heavily into the country via the northern border since the border over there is porous or the northern border is not part of Nig

plus I think it is the right time to give ECOWAS the middle finger our being a part of it has been taking more from us than the benefits we derive

obailala:
So what exactly is your proposal? That good people should forever stay out of leadership until such a fictional time when the government is filled only with angel and saints?

Just a gentle reminder, people like Prof Dora Akunyili of blessed memory succeeded in effecting giant strides whilst also working under several ogas at the top in a Nigerian government setting. If she aligned to ideologies like yours that good people should stay away on the other side of the fence and keep barking only without offering themselves, Nigeria would never have been blessed by her efforts. We should always encourage good people to be in govt.

okay I agree if you won't see things from my point of view

but I bet my left black ass on it that tomorrow you would be among those complaining and throwing stones of blames and insults on him

aikyg:
Only Twitter can help you on this issue. Once the Bank sees its name trending on Twitter for attempting to defraud a late customer's family, you'll get your money in a matter of days.

she should drop the bank name and managers name and branch on nairaland and see how how their reputation would be death with

femi4:
Go and work for your money....let your Dad's money go to charity

haha are you okay, even if I am the most hardworking being on earth I can't let one bank to sit on my dad's sweat, I would rather collect it and help the less privilege with it than being wasteful

Blue3k:
The governor is out his mind. Yes they should be deprived of the benefits because they aren't tax paying citezens of Nigeria. These guys legally cant just move here to leach off system. It wouldn't even be legal in the first place. They should lobby their government to institute same policy.

foreigners that are not paying tax o kikikikiki I laff

like if you think this country is a joke

obailala:
It's quite amusing and sad at the same time that quite a lot of Nigerians have this self-defeating mentality/ideology. We want change! we want change! Everyday we lament the lack of good people in governance. But then, when we have a 'good' person finally deciding to join governance, we mob him out of power, claiming "he wants to join them". How can our lot ever change if we constantly discourage the right people from getting anywhere close to power? How exactly do we explain this ideology?

What do we really want? Are we sure we truly don't just prefer the nincompoops to be left alone in power forever?

don't be deceived that is going there to make a change as you have said, for instance I am Seun the man in concern government offered me a job and this government we are talking is not even buhari in person, I accept the job and one of the people who drafted me in is the devil or the devil messenger who is responsible for tweaking the budget (I am just saying) who do you expect me to be loyal to? what truth do you expect me to come out and say that won't ruin me? or have you forgotten the saying that says the person who knows how you got it knows how to kick you out? see it either you join them when u enter or not at all

if he wants to make a change he should ride on the back of a horse he prepared himself so some higher voices won't dictate when he has to pee or poo
