I cannot waste my time arguing with an individual who lives another man's loss day in and day out. Making senseless remarks over what you have no intellectual capacity to process. PMB has ceased control of all LGs your drunken mastergave BH. Even the US with a trillion dollars Army is yet to defeat Taliban over 15 years now and mumus expect PMB to destroy an insurgency that was allowed to take root to the extent of wrestling control of an area the size of France. Please niqqur argue with your keyboard.

You are known for clannish portrayal of issues of National importance and got zero intelligence and credibility in providing alternatives outside your bigoted view and partisanship.

Get lost and stick your village sense to your zone. People are grieving for the lost of their partroits and breadwinners but you chose to engage in deadbody count.

I am not here to dignify your deadbody count comparisons or politicisation but it is on record that elections were held in 774 LGAs and all Federal and States constituencies across Nigeria in March, 2015 elections. It wasn't as bad as you may think before handover.

But you are angry that Trump called Buhari “Lifeless”?

Lifeless is same as unproductive... �

This is my main gross with this presidency.

There is no insurance that delivers more FDI than partnership and joint venture capitalism. How on earth will foreigners' invest in Nigeria without their Nigerian counterparts?

For your information, local content in joint venture boost foreign investors confidence. A refinery in Niger Delta will be more safe if it was to be co-owned by Asari or Tompolo, it is awkward by a fact

20,000 Nigerians that died under your drunken master is a sore line? You obviously are sick! This deaths to you is just politics to US patriotic Nigerians it is a sad pain that our troops are killed. Keep politicising the deaths of our soldiers, you only proved you lack morals of any form.

Get lost Mr dead body counter and numerical comparator.

You were the chief mischief maker and policizer of Bokoharam insurgency. You weren't called Janjawee,d for nothing.

ACN and CPC were never supportive of eliminating Bokoharam and APC legislators did their best to end the State of Emergency.

Today, Buhari has the support of all Nigerians to root out Bokoharam and yet he is totally incapable.

He asked for six months and here he has more than three years and yet he indirectly finances Bokoharam through ransom payments.

You should be ashamed of yourself for the the body count because they weren't you uncle or townsmen

Why should President Trump honour McCain who was part of the devilish hidden plan with intelligence agencies to remove democratically elected President using unconfirmed, rigged dossier?

Magu statement really pained Paul Usoro, it was clearly directed at him and corrupt lawyer like him who are extending the aims of Corruption.

Funny thing is the current NBA president is a product of a well crafted rigging. According to Falana NBA elections were rigged to deliberately prevent Lawyers from voting. Hence only a few lawyers who seemed to be largely pro the current president were able to vote. This corruptionists are seeking to overtake the entire system to perpetuate unhindered looting.

Yet Buhari hired 15 SANs and 60 lawyers to defend him from bringing out his WAEC certificate after forging one

Mynd44 lalasticala this guy is quoting a July 2014 article.

Okonjo Iweala warning came in November 2014. Clearly indicating our lifeless wailing zombies are eating poo as usual over nothing

This report was based on institutions and structures put in place by the government. Secondly, there was already collapsed crude oil price hence no new development.

Dr Iweala's position was strictly based on cuts in expenditures and never on investors confidence nor decline in FDI. The push for agricultural revolution was at its peak while cash flow was adequate.

Buhari's inability to sweep into action and demarketing the country on foreign soil kill economic growth.

Buhari got it all wrong when he bashed Wale Tinubu and Tony Elumelu for accompanying him to US where they were supposed to liaise with US business community on where and how to invest in Nigeria.

Buhari knows nothing about the economy hence the collapse

The report included
the urban poverty reduction dynamic is much stronger.

Poverty was fast reducing in our urban areas until Buhari appeared and dashed our hopes

We were cruising to eldarado notwithstanding low crude sales and price until Buhari appeared from nowhere and in six months killed all economic prospects by instilling fear and uncertainty in the market and foreign direct investments.

Nigeria Economic Report: Improved Economic Outlook in 2014, and Prospects for Continued Growth Look Good

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

The Nigeria Economic Report cites positive economic trends for the country and predicts higher growth in 2014

The report highlights two potential risks, coming from oil prices and short-term capital flows
The report provides a reassessment of poverty and living standards in Nigeria, concluding that poverty rates are likely lower than previously believed, but highly uneven across Nigerian regions

ABUJA, July 22, 2014 – Nigeria’s short-term economic outlook has improved in 2014 and prospects for continued growth and macroeconomic stability are good in light of increased revenues to the federation, stable foreign reserves and an augmented fiscal reserve fund, according to a new World Bank report. The Nigeria Economic Report (NER) also highlights two remaining risks to the country’s positive economic outlook; uncertainty in oil prices and output, and short-term capital flows.

The report offers a reassessment of poverty and living standards in Nigeria on the basis of newly available data (GHS), concluding that poverty rates may actually be significantly lower than previously estimated. However, there is a strong and growing divide between the Southern and Northern parts of the country in poverty levels.

Using newly-available data on growth, poverty, and living standards, the report gives a clearer picture of general development trends in the country, according to report author John Litwack, World Bank lead economist for Nigeria.

“The combination of the new GDP and poverty estimates is valuable in giving us what we believe to be a clearer picture of development and poverty reduction in Nigeria,” Litwack said. “Both sets of numbers indicate the prime importance of urban areas for growth and poverty reduction.”

Additional key findings of the report include:

Short Term Economic Outlook: Nigeria faced a challenging macroeconomic and budgetary situation in 2013 and early 2014. Oil output decreased, leading to unexpected declines in exports and budgetary revenues. Despite a low benchmark (expected) oil price, oil revenues to the Federation in 2013 were 24.4% lower than expected. The country lost more than $10 billion in external reserves and almost exhausted its fiscal reserve fund (Excess Crude Account). The federal and state governments were compelled to cut expenditures in light of revenue shortfalls. The Naira came under considerable pressure by early 2014.

Macroeconomic trends were considerably more favorable in the second quarter of 2014. Oil revenues to the Federation have increased notably, budgetary revenues to the Federation in the first five months of the year were considerably higher than planned, the Excess Crude Account has received augmentation, and the foreign reserve position has stabilized. The government’s resolve to maintain prudent macroeconomic policy was an important factor in this stabilization.

The NER projects a generally optimistic short-term macroeconomic outlook, with the pace of economic growth accelerating and a likely continuation of the recent positive trends. Nevertheless, two important potentially important destabilizing macroeconomic risks remain; a negative shock to oil prices or oil output, and volatility in short-term capital flows.

A re-assessment of poverty and growth in Nigeria: Macroeconomic data on growth, poverty, and living standards during the last decade have been rather puzzling, Litwack said. On the one hand, the country appeared to be experiencing strong economic growth averaging 7% annually, which was particularly concentrated in the pro-poor areas of agriculture and trade. On the other hand, the national per capita poverty rate remained very high at more than 60% of the population, with little evidence of recent progress in poverty reduction. The recent re-basing of the national accounts, which increased estimated GDP to $509 billion, making Nigeria the 26th largest economy in the world, brought further attention to this puzzle. How could a country of the size and wealth of Nigeria have poverty rates much higher than in surrounding countries like Niger and Benin Republic?

The NER examines new data that would appear to clarify the murky picture of economic development in Nigeria:

· The new (re-based) gross domestic product (GDP) numbers for 2010-2013 offer a very different picture from previous numbers. The pace of annual GDP growth is somewhat slower, averaging 5% during this period.

· The Nigerian economy is revealed to be far more diversified and dynamic than previous numbers would suggest, with significant contributions to growth coming from manufacturing and various services that were underestimated in the past. The nature of this growth implies that it is much more concentrated in urban areas than previously believed. Average growth in agriculture was only 4.2% during 2011-2013, and is estimated to have fallen under to under 3% in each of 2011 and 2013. Thus, growth in agriculture in many rural areas in Nigeria would appear to be not much greater than population growth, which is estimated at close to 3% for the nation.

The NER then provides an updated analysis of poverty and living standards in Nigeria based on a panel survey of 5,000 households that was carried out in 2010/2011 and 2012/2013 as part of the General Household Survey of the Nigeria National Bureau of Statistics. The results are generally consistent with the newly re-based GDP numbers:

· The panel survey gives evidence that the per capital poverty rate (Nigerian definition based on less than 3000 calorie-a-day consumption) is significantly lower than had been previously estimated. From this survey, it is estimated that 33.1% of the population lived below the poverty line in 2012/2013.

· Poverty is much lower in urban areas (12.6%) than in rural areas (44.9%), [/b]and [b]the urban poverty reduction dynamic is much stronger.

The NER also documents major differences in poverty and living standards by macro-region in Nigeria. While the South of Nigeria has relatively low poverty rates, ranging from 16% in the South West to 28.8% in the South East, poverty rates in the North West and North East are 45.9% and 50.2%, respectively. While the South of Nigeria (especially the South West) has experienced a strong positive dynamic in poverty reduction in recent years, the poverty rate in the North West has remained stagnant, while poverty has actually increased in the North East. Thus, disparities between the North (North West, North East) and South of Nigeria in poverty and living standards have increased. This is no doubt related to the recent security challenges in the Northern part of Nigeria. Explanatory factors for the high differences in living standards by geographical region are likely related to differences in the provision of public services and the degree of connectedness to larger markets.

Don't worry after Buhari Osinbajo is next. The only problem is that IPOD yoots are galloping around the likes of Kwankwaso and Atiku who would likely rule for nothing less than two terms(8 years) if they win and our precious osinbajo wouldn't have the chance to contest again nether will they even hand over to the Ipod yoots.

Please don't quote me without sensible reply. The Buhari I know can't even address the Nation without script and secondly, no first class manager settles for bankrupt entity.

Nigeria will be gone if Buhari is allowed to superintend the affairs of this great country for another four years.

It surprises me when Nairaland veterans like you allows yourself to be influence by childish banters on this board without self reflection. This is not who you are hence don't promote their stupidity

Firefire:
Aligned!

I can't understand President Buhari's strategies, how on earth will Buhari travel out to foreign land without Nigeria's business communities?

The best insurance the West understands is joint venture investment.

To attract investment to Nigeria, Buhari should stop hating Nigerian Billionaires and work with them to grow the economy.

They can have it provided Buhari is not in the picture come May 29, 2019.

With Buhari come 2019, the cancer eating Nigeria would become terminal. The solution is to push out Buhari to London from next month.

Osinbajo is capable

SternProphet:
Economic growth with increasing poverty. This is actually PDP policy that Buhari is changing with SIP. Nigeria manufactured millions of poor people while the clueless one was saying Nigeria had many private jets. This was one of the reasons why he was booted back to Otuoke and we now have more serious people in Aso Rock. It might take a little longer to reverse the negative trend but Nigeria has started and Buhari 's second term will unfetter Nigeria from the hands of looting networks and people who cannot see a country without corruption.

UK can help by stopping to take corrupt fund flows into its real estate markets and investing in Nigeria agricultural, AGRO foods and FMCG sectors.

Sharap there. Go and read reports from foreign press and heads of States about Nigeria prior to APC adventure on National politics.

PDP reduced poverty by half - United Nations

The APC, while in opposition magnified all derogatory adjectives coming from foreign press while adding more mischievous and malicious ones to malign Goodluck Jonathan. That was the genesis of bad blood in Nigerian politics.

It was like this during Yardua presidency.

Thanks for the comment.

Only God can fight my battle being a man of war. "The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name"

As you know me, I have no foe(s) here but friends, irrespective of their political position/disposition, for someone like me, I just need somewhere to while away life pressure and have a good laugh.

My doors are always open to make new friends as we journey through life. Life is so short.

However, Nigeria is a project that must work. We must all come together and demand accountable leadership and good governance. This aspect of tasking leaders is completely lost from those who support their rulers blindly.

God bless Nairaland,
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
God bless Nigerians.

Don't listen to barcanista. He is known for committing political suicide.

President Trump is no Evangelical nor even a Christian, yet he dances to the tune of pro-life, antiabortion, from living constitution to the originalist Judges because he knows that politics without political base is suicidal. So do Buhari, who has sworn never to criticize Meyetti Allah leadership and herdsmen to avoid losing politcal relevance.

Barcanista is not wise hence the political harlotry. Never criticize your political base openly to sound politically correct. Do it with tact and wisdom to win admiration and continual support.

Corrinthians:
Nah. Don't think so. As far as we know, no court has really made any pronouncement as to the interpretation of that 2/3 thingy. The interpretation as we speak is only as good as our biased minds (PDP/APC) would interpret it.

Once the deed is done, he sure would approach the courts for interpretation, by which time the general public would be too busy with 2019 races to pay him any good attention, after all, no be only him get problem for naija.

There is no way APC Senators can block PDP, SDP, ADP and APGA Senators from attending proceedings. The first attempt couldn't cut it and hence there wouldn't be any rehearsal nor a repeat.

The enthusiasm to attend proceedings is with pro- Saraki Senators hence there wouldn't be any attempt to call for impeachment let alone vote for it because it would amount to monumental disgrace like Dina Melaye recall

Corrinthians:
Chai. Today I confirm that some of these most avid supporters of PDP are totally naive when it comes to the "Art of War."

At the risk of giving y'all some wisdom when your naivety works to our own advantage, let me say this.

One of the most reliable strategies in war is the art of BAITING. You bait your enemy, draw them in, and smite them ruthlessly!






Now, given this news which you guys are likely to celebrate, and hopefully Saraki, it is our hope that his ego and confidence would be bloated beyond himself and he'd take a majestic walk into the chamber sooner than later, reconvening the Senate.... and there, my dear, is exactly where his "enemies" want him to be!

Make una wise o! Politics ain't for the naive!


Cc: .

You might wanna reconsider your comment.

Let's say you got your proposition from one perspective.

You can still look at it from another angle where majority of those APC Senators have subscribed to the judicial interpretation of the ⅔ of the Senate to mean 73 Senators for which they lack hence have decided to put up a reconciliatory tone to avoid overheating the polity and creating unnecessary enmity having been involved in sharing the spoils due to Legislators.

SEONaijaExpert:
Once they storm his house and pull down his door, he would come back on social media to rant about how Buhari is a tyrant.

They served you an invitation and i could remember the police adding please towards the end of the letter stating that this is not an indictment but a fact finding.

Dude is indictment himself already asking for the complaints name against him.

Clueless people everywhere

Don't allow people to kill your son for the same crime their children committed but were allowed to roam free.

It is a moral lesson.

Meyetti Allah is threatening people including institutions of government, claiming responsibility for attacks and yet they and their herdsmen roam free without invitation.

Headmen and their leaders that are killing and threatening Nigerians weren't invited
