I don't like buhari leadership, but this is complete nonsense.


I will only obey if he can lead the arrest from the front, not from the comfort of his home.


Igbos are supposed to be intelligent people, but most of them are too gullible for my liken. They completely lost their sense of reasoning.


When sowore planned a revolution, he was at the fore front, not speaking from his comfort zone.

I partially agree with some things you said but on this he is actually right did you remember that during his first four years he was looking so tiny all of a sudden he came back looking fat his wrinkled skin poshed up we were even making jest of him with pictures of him having six packs that was before nnamdi KANU ever said anything relating to it, the new Buhari is jubril

Izumarock70:
This is IPOB's press release

From IPOB leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

The formidable IPOB family in Japan is hereby placed on direct order to ensure the impostor Jubril Al-Sudani, masquerading as the late dictator Mubammadu Buhari, is arrested and handed over to the authorities when he sets foot on Japanese soil. He is not only a fake president, he is wanted for mass murder and crimes against humanity for his role in previous and ongoing genocide in Biafraland.

Under Japanese law an impostor is a common criminal and subject to citizens arrest. International diplomatic protocol as it relates to visiting heads of state is not applicable in this instance because whoever Abba Kyari is sending to Japan is not the real Buhari. We must make sure he is apprehended and handed over to the police in Japan.

Any legal fall-out emanating from any confrontation will end up in a Japanese court where we will be able to establish before the world that Jubril is indeed a fake Buhari.

53-year-old Mr Sunday Akin Dare has been announced as the new Minister for Youth and Sports by President Muhammadu Buhari, Igbere TV reports.

Born on May 29, 1966, Dare takes over from the immediate past minister, Mr Solomon Dalung, who lost his re-nomination bid last month.

Dare, who hails from Ogbomoso North Local Government Area of Oyo State, was the Executive Commissioner of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), until his nomination as minister.

He had once served as Media Adviser and Chief of Staff to former governor of Lagos and national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He graduated with a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) in International Studies from Ahmadu Bello University in 1991. He then proceeded to obtain a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the University of Jos. He later proceeded to Harvard University between 2000 and 2001 where he studied Media and Public Policy.

Mr. Dare has decades of experience in multimedia journalism spanning about 25 years (from 1991 to 2016).

Igbere TV had reported that President Buhari, on Wednesday, formally assigned portfolios to all 43 ministerial-designates, three months after his inauguration for a second term.

He had last month, sent the list of ministers to the Nigerian Senate for screening, in an exercise that lasted five days.

53 years old man minister of youth and sport kilode olohun!! watin concern me sef

Spar7tan:
Even if all these companies, firm & individual paid their taxes, we still can't see what the government used it for.

I wonder left to me I would say the list only contains names of companies held by people who does not support this APC regime Check properly I have all reasons to believe that the list should be longer than that

Assuming I am a woman despite the fact that I know that no condition is permanent the Idea won't go down well with me but if the guy is focused, works hard, filled with bright ideas to walk us out of such low life loves me genuinely and fears God I will change my mind but if we are to have kids we can't have more than one until things get batter

I father had some tenants four years ago they were living exactly in this conditions but gradually they starting living fine now both families own their own houses, one of the families now own a school where the fam work while the other family now have better jobs, you see determination,love and hardworking conquers

Reason why I said I would eventually change my mind

This is so cool n good it would help the children be hard working and professional and also help imbibe some saving skills in them, but I think it might not work for all household different strokes for different folks

vanita and omashola conversation just dey make me laff, He was killed and he did not die, is he Jesus? you can slap an agbero and call him nothing would the agbero do, warning please don't try this at home then finally the madam of mumu republic said I would like to meet him does he have a palace, haba is he a king? the most dumb and interesting convo so far

since we can't attack the politicians that are looting our treasury back home we should organize wait for them to travel out of the country and beat the heck out of them

Evercurious:
So her ex boy friend also confused and took advantage of her? Lolzzzzz.. My dear pls parents should simply train their girl child properly and all these nonsense will sieze

she and her bf could have been at the same age range or probably a bit older n she didn't say they say the guy had sex with her or rape her so issue there but lectures are people parent trust to take care of their child that is how it is

Evercurious:
Plz be realistic and stop being unnecessarily sentimental here. That girl is wayward and the lecturer is adulterous. Stop making excuses for the girl. Plsssss

she is not she was young and the lectures managed to take advantage of that to confuse her and take advantage, she wasn't wayward

you put a child in the school to leave them with lecturers and staffs becomes a problem because they would ruin his or her life if care is not taken, they most annoying part is that if you report them to the school authority, lecturers, staff etc the issue would back fire on the complaint because na them them, the state govt, relevant authorities doesn't even care about the plight students and even if a student who is a victim complain to their parent or guidance there is little or nothing they could do except if its a high profile case like this, it continues like this till eternity

dabossman:
Most definitely. If such technology is used to intimidate the opposition or silence govt critics, it is a gross abuse of power and the judiciary should ideally throw such a case out. Problem is, even our judiciary is corrupt.

they are the most corrupt alongside legislature

dabossman:
Not entirely correct.The email alone can't provide a solid case. They had an email "obiwanne@gmail.com that was traced to be linked to the iconclast email that was key to the fraud, but it doesn't indicate much. He could claim it was hacked.

What his Twitter and IG did was place him at the scene of the crime. He posted on IG that he was in Seychelles at the same period one of the fraudulent transactions emanated from an IP address in Seychelles. Also posted about being in Washington DC at the same time another fraudulent mail emanated from the same DC.

HIs social media activity sealed the deal.

his social media activities seal the deal as you said thus put him in the crime scene thanks for this I love the fact the your argument is logical

back to the op how e take concern nairaland

Also there us something I would like to say, some people where busy saying one should be careful if what one says online cos DSS etc will track u bla bla bla, so now that the DSS etc have few tech that could help track criminals "crminals" wouldn't it be a criminal offense to deplore such techs in their possession against citizens who are unhappy with the way the gvt governs and finds a voice in social media cos we can't risk our lives to protest as they do in advance countries?

power corrupts absolute power corrupts absolutely, that is the case we are facing in this country at the moment

dabossman:
Uncle stop arguing this thing. Did the Unatrac report put a face to the culprit? NO. All it did was indicate that a fraud had been commited. The email that was eventually discovered to be behind the fraud was faceless until it led to obiwanne on Nairaland, where is Twitter account was then identified and subsequently Instagram.

even if there is no twitter, nairaland or insta in the picture they would still get him his legitimate email which was under investigation was also linked to his businesses which I believe must have been registered and used for transactions, with his business in the picture alone his home address everything would be revealed, his arrest must have occurred anywhere in the world

iHart:
Its not Nairaland that led to his arrest. If you read the full report, you will see that he has been under surveillance. His fraudulent dealing with Unatrac got him exposed, not his Nairaland post.

Na only you sabi read and understand this kind post since yesterday, it wasn't nairaland, some literates that knows how to read but find it difficult to comprehend are misleading a lot if people even the op, his legitimate email address that was linked to the fraudulent email address for recovery purpose and IP where the things used to investigate/track him not nairaland

huptin:
On the other hand, the ready unavailability of local rice could be the course, y should I have to buy 2 or more bags to eat local rice

that is if you want to buy up to dat, if you need one cup you could get it depending on your area and how well people demand for it, stop over flogging this issue there is local rice in the market

By Bamidele Samuel Adesoji - August 15, 2019

President Muhammadu Buhari gave a new directive to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to stop providing FOREX for food importation. According to the President, the directive was given to improve agricultural production and attain full food security in Nigeria.

The President reportedly said, “The Central Bank of Nigeria should stop providing foreign exchange for importation of food into the country, with the steady improvement in agricultural production, & attainment of full food security.”

Implications of the President’s Statement

Note that rice and other items make up the 43 items earlier placed under FOREX restriction. Hence, the latest announcement is apparently a follow-up to the recent move by the CBN to restrict FOREX for milk importation.

Following this, If all food items are declared ineligible for FOREX during importation, it means that importers will no longer have access to the Investors & Exporters Window (I&E) for foreign currencies required to carry out transactions.

Consequently, the investors will have to source their own FOREX by patronising bureau de change or other sources. This comes at a higher cost and the implication is that consumers will be made to bear the brunt of the extra costs incurred by the investors.

On the flip side, the President also stated that Nigeria has recorded steady improvement in food production and attained full food security. This suggests that the President is of the opinion that Nigeria has attained food self-sufficiency, thereby making food importation unnecessary.

A look into Nigeria’s Agricultural sector

According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), although agriculture remains the largest sector of the Nigerian economy, employing two-thirds of the entire labour force, production hurdles have significantly stifled the performance of the sector.

FAO further revealed that the main factors undermining production of agricultural products include reliance on rainfed agriculture, smallholder land holding, and low productivity due to poor planting material, low fertilizer application, and a weak agricultural extension system, amongst others.

- As a result of the several factors inhibiting the growth of the sector, food remains one of the major commodities currently being imported into Nigeria.

- As it stands, Nigeria occupies a tripartite position. FAO reported that Nigeria is the continent’s leading consumer of rice; the country is one of the largest producers of rice in Africa and simultaneously one of the largest importers of rice in the world.

- Livestock development is an important component of Nigeria’s agriculture sector with abundant social and economic potentials. However, 30% of live animals slaughtered in Nigeria are imported from neighbouring countries.

Food Importation Statistics

A close look into the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) foreign trade report shows that Nigeria still imports food items that gulp trillions of naira. According to the Bureau, between 2015 and 2018, Nigeria imported food and beverages estimated at N5.46 trillion or $17.8 billion. As at first quarter of 2019 only, Nigeria’s food and beverage importation stood at N389 billion or $1.2 billion.

- A further breakdown shows that Nigeria’s food imports are categorised into primary (raw) and processed. In Q1 2019, industries imported N196 billion worth of raw food, while households imported N87 billion.

- For processed food, industries imported an estimated N82 billion worth of food items, while household consumption of processed food was put at N110 billion.

- This means that a total of N389 billion was spent on both industrial and household food importation in Q1 2019.
According to the NBS, food items largely imported into Nigeria include prepared foodstuffs, vegetables, animals, vegetable fats and oil, other cleavage production and beverages.

Some concerns

Mixed reactions have continued to trail the directive. While much emphasis has been placed on whether the move is an apparent breach of the CBN’s independence or not, some have asserted that the announcement might worsen the economy as Nigeria has neither achieved food security nor sufficiency.

Reacting to the policy, a former Deputy Governor of the CBN, Kingsley Moghalu, reacted that the issue isn’t whether or not CBN should allow access to Forex for food imports. According to him, it is about whether such an economic policy should be imposed by a political authority. Moghalu said, “Our economy will not be saved by Ad Hoc political decisions like this, handed down by the very institutions that should be shielded from the whim and caprice of politicians.

“Nigeria’s entire economy appears to have been sub-contracted to our Central Bank, including industrial and trade policy. In the process, the economy has fared poorly, and the Central Bank has lost its independence. This is sad!”

The downsides

No doubt, Nigeria’s agricultural sector is full of potential and there is a large room for growth. While the current administration has introduced several policies to help improve food security, not much progress has been recorded and the government should address this.

- According to global hunger index (GHI) 2018, Nigeria ranks 103 out of the 119 qualifying countries with a score of 31.1. This means Nigeria suffers from a level of hunger that is very serious.

- A closer look at GHI report shows that Nigeria is worse off in hunger index between 2000 and 2018.

- Nigeria’s fragile economy still manages to import more Agric. products than export. This means that the current domestic production cannot meet demands.

- While FOREX restriction on food importation is laudable, the government needs to carefully work on the gradual implementation of the policy in order not to heap more misery on the economy.


https://nairametrics.com/2019/08/15/buharis-food-importation-ban-could-drag-the-nigerian-economy-into-misery/

all these grammar just to frustrate the policy, I think the government should put more policies in place including a 100 percent tax free policy make sure it is sustained, encourage NiGs to take advantage as the gvt had done then place a 100 percent ban on importation of agric products in that 4tysomething category including it sales in local market and regulate the prices of locally produced agric products, this would force us to start buying what we produce, a gradual process had been applied but it's not working let's give radical process a try

we have the capacity to produce almost all agricultural products we consume but previous administrations refused to pay attention now that bu is paying attention I support him

but security wise nba plus release member of the press under your captivity they are not criminals

Pesuzok:
He should go to sahad, he will be amazed with the varieties of local rice. Many are are from the North

don't mind him, he should get is facts right, locally produced rice that are of high quality are sold in the market he should go ask

huptin:
The only rice I see in Nigeria are those smuggled from cotonou, I still can't see all this rice you are talking about.

ask the people selling those smuggled rice that you want to buy local rice if its like a bag or more they will get it for you, the reason why you are still seeing smuggled rice around is because we Nigerians we are so fake to the extent that we believe anything produced in Nig is no good thus no demand for it but if the measure put in place to curb smuggling is made strict we would have no option than to start consuming it and continuously demanding for good quality

besides shebi you say u wan buy rice and u asked me to link you up I am still wsiting

tiredoflife:
Please can u tell us where I can buy this ur local rice
I have not seen one since 2015 you lots praise it

If you are actually serious and you are in Abuja right now I can link you up

I agree with his policies in the agricultural sector especially rice production he is not doing bad at it but security wise heck no

the only issue is how to get Nigerians appreciate rice produced in NiG

I think they should set up a task force that would check shops still selling imported rice and also check the grains to be sure it has not being disguised and if found guilty, such goods should be seized from the retailer, fined and charged of smuggling

if smuggled rice is not bought or demanded, rice smuggling would stop and locally produced rice would be appreciated and bought


He has put the necessary things in place to promote rice production if you don't agree that means you have not being paying attention

Anything loan is not good for someone's health.

wise one, borrowing from any form financial institutions would always keep you indebted, save towards what you want to purchase or achieve instead

fiizznation:
Sowore will be detained for a period of 45days and after that, the federal government should charge him to court for treasonous act and incitement. You didn't remember your useless revolution until when you contested in the same election that buhari won, that's when you remembered one 'useless revolution protest'.

I urge the FG to arrest any silly ass that engage himself/herself in any revolution protest again. If you want a revolution, use the ballot box.

Sawore didn't commit any treasonable offense moreover I am not sure you are a Nigerian, do you even live here who told you votes count under this APC govt, they silenced the media, bribed foreigner who came to supervise the last election, intimidated voters with forces and finally they successfully rigged the election in favour of buhari and u are there talking about ballot are you okay? you are one of the problems Nig is has

The aim of APC and Buhari is to silent Nigerians when that is accomplished, whatever they do, they do it for life no questioning, it's so unfortunate that some people are saying it's sawore thus it's not my business, sawore case and others is just a test of their aim to silent Nigs and if they remain there I wonder who would speak up when things get worse under this military gvt

you can't protest, you can't fight for your right and you can't support people who are doing it for you what sort of human being are you?

In as much as I think he should be freed based on conditions, giving him freedom would make him and his followers deadly especially this one that they are receiving back ups from iran
