A giant step to revolutionised our economy is by limiting our currencies to 100 naira higher denominations. The rest of higher denominations like 1000 naira, 500 and 200 naira should be confiscated and binned. By doing this those supper rich that served under Dr. Jonathan corrupt govt will have to option than to throw in towel.
Baba should just be brave and courageous if really he wants to write his name on plate of diamond. Nigerians has suffered bruises and if Baba fails to balm these wounds I'm in optimistic that God will send his beloved to recuperate his innocent nation.

Where you learn your own economic from? Na wa oooo, so to solve our problem is to remove the higher denomination of the Naira and it'll affect the rich and the economy will turn around for the better. Truly, we need education because ignorance is destroying whatever is left of Nigeria.

Where did you get this joke of an idea. Please stop spreading this rubbish.

dammytosh:
Ok FG announces that 10000 soldiers were killed.

Are you happy now and does that make him have conscience now ?

The family would be engaged one on one not on page of nairaland or twitter or facebook.

You are simply ignorant. It's wrong not to acknowledge the sacrifice of our soldiers despite the circumstance which that ugly incident occurred. Declaring a mourning period, flying our flags at half mast and similar actions communicate strongly to our soldiers that the government and people care and appreciate their sacrifice. To maintain silence as if nothing happened is callous and wicked.

Our support should not be one-sided or blinded by prejudice. The elections are over and we must come together and work for Nigeria. My brother, evil is evil irrespective of who perpetrated it. Blind loyal is the worse form of hypocrisy.

Beware and be on the right part of history for the time will come when the accounts of today will be read out to future generations. I hope you will be bold enough to affirm you convictions then.

Endless wailing is dangerous to one's health.

PDP was not an option in the last election and it will not be in 2019. I guess it's the reason every PDPeeg has lost their sense of reasoning, in my opinion.

Well, 2019 is upon us before we realize it. Perhaps PDP will have a better candidate to defeat Buhari by then.

Time shall tell.

Surely time shall tell. It amazes me how people came to the conclusion that in 16years PDP achieved nothing and have the gut to call the years wasted. We need to be careful because by the measure you judge, the same shall be applied to you.

Let examine critically if truly the last 16years were wasted and to do that we need a benchmark which is the last 16year preceding 1999 before the advent of our current democratic dispensation. Please, let do a critical review of all major achievements in 1983 - 1999 and compare with that of 1999 - 2015. Then if you come back with the same view after an objective assessment than I will accept your claim.

I think, not putting history in the right perspective is responsible for most of these misconceptions and the earlier we start appreciating little successes, the better for our nation. Most people are too young or not born in those periods to appreciate the event of today but that's not an excuse. Records and books are kept for this reason. Take your time to learn about your history before making bold statements. PDP may not have been the best but an angel if you compare them with where we are coming from. You can take that to the bank. I believe they should have done better and fight corruption better but a blanket saying that nothing happened is simply a fallacy of the mind.

TRUTHTOPOWER:
You have no idea the murder and fraud allegation on Fayose when PDP presented. Omisore was in prison on the allegation of murdering Bola Ige when PDP presented him and he won from prison!

From this you will know that allegation of fraud is a lot better.

I really don't understand how we reason; Why did you vote PDP out? Is it for APC to continue with the same level of impunity that you condemn the PDP for. I am really sick of this gutter reasoning. Apc rose to power on the basis that they want to do things differently from the corrupt past and yet consistently, they repeat the same atrocious acts they condemn the PDP for. That to me is the height of hypocrisy.

A man is corrupt irrespective of the party affiliations and he should be condemned. Elections are over and we must start reasoning objectively. You are shouting change and yet, no job, no food, no light, no water, no good school and the only reason given by your scam govt is that the previous govt didn't leave any thing behind and you believe. You just wasted your time in school, simply.

sammyj:
SAI BABA always on point anytime any day. One day Nigeria will be great again !!!

Na wash! Don't be deceived it's just a paid advert.

Journalism world over has been compromised. Nigeria is going down under Mr integrity, he needs to wake up and start fixing issues rather than keep shouting corruption, corruption, corruption and corruption. SHAME!!!

Not one election promises has been fulfilled despite his well publised 100days convenent with Nigerians that he shamefully disowned.

We are watching!!!!

carrrterrs:
HBD to the men whom neglected the Niger Del tans for the Northerns. I've no personal grudges but his governments is the worst in the history of democracy, he is a peaceful, gentle and God fearing man surrounded by packs of wolves who are ready to mill this Nation to Zero.

Someday, you live to know the truth and appreciate his efforts despite the difficult circumstances he had to work under.

lolaxavier:
Well said, Nigerians want justice not your death.

The writer is just simply mean and very callous. The woman has neither been charged to court or found gulity of any offence. It's sad when those who should know better spread hearsay as truth. This woman is sick and she needs our compassion at this moment of time not condemnation for offences that may end up not to be true. Sad!

The writer should go and sort his life and leave Diezani to heal. If there are charges, let the appropriate authority use the judicial process to get justice. The writer is only speculating nothing of substance in his entire write up and justice is never gotten on social media. He will meet with his own waterloo.

mrvitalis:
.. .. Just watch wailers will still complain >: (

The earlier you realised that the elections are over the better for you. Government needs a viable opposition and vigilant citizens to succeed and it's an important ingredient in any democracy. If you don't question govt actions and criticise wrong actions then you have no right to complain when the govt fails.

Governance is a collective effort and not left to the ruling party alone. Wake up from your delusion and face reality; the opposition will not go away. sycophancy destroy democracy but genuine and objective criticisms build it.

ALVA001:
Let fayose come out with facts and stop ranting like a garage boy. And he sud be aware no more jam talk, there is a new sheriff in town. Lai is here.

Defend anything irrespective who is the guity party is very dangerous. you should never lose objectivity on the face of partisan politics or any other parochial sentiments. It's unfortunate when you read post of this nature; certainly, one just wonder what happened to our upbringing. we lost our values and lost direction

Koleman:
I hope you wailers are prepared to do this for the Next 4yrs? And do people even real at all. That post is not saying the president spent money on buying new air planes or incurring any extra expenses. Pls read out de first sentence. It is only spending that money to maintain the air planes bought by the previous administration. Maybe you still dont understand. Let me use a simple example to illustrate. "IF YOUr FATHER RENTS A DUPLEX FOR YOU AND Suddenly dies towards de expiration of the rent, when the time for payment comes, i wonder who is going to pay the rent? Now you have two choices, first choice is you bear the huge cost and pay the rent. Second option you agree the cost is to much and so you relocate to much more cheaper and affordable house. Now if am not mistaken one of the few promises made by buhari upon assumption of office is to sell some of the air planes so as to minimize cost. Now what i expect any rational mind to do is concentrate on reminding him of that promise! Now has baba forgotten?

The truth needs no defender because it's sacred. It's external and unchangeable. You can't proffer one thing and carry out the exact opposite, Such is known as hypocrisy. You are quick to insult but in your own very words, you expose your sycophantic nature. The president promised a lean govt, promised to cut cost and eliminate waste and even sell some of the aircrafts on the presidential fleet and you are here condemning those who are bold enough to point out the truth. If you have any honor, you will join them to remind the president of his promises rather than defend hypocrisy. Please take off your silly and illogical example, it's annoying. Won't you rent another property if you can't afford the one left by your father. Please, grow up!
Sad, how lack of proper education and good moral upbringing has destroyed our nation.

CeenoEvu:
This is the Abati I used to love.

I really can't remember anything fantastic that he accomplished as the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to GEJ. I think some people can only fulfill their purpose/mandate on the sidelines or as an unbiased observer/commentator.

And how is Femi Adesina performing now? You need to appreciate the circumstance these guys are working before criticizing them. Not as simple as it seems!

DrownedFish:
Gbaja is sick and he needs to keep quiet before I drown him with my Fish

This is the worst National Assembly since 1999. No show of legislative independence. Is the legislature not a different arm of government? They must not follow in the dictate of the excutive. APC is just a party of jokers and mediocrities. No serious legislative activity since inauguration.
Nigerians have been scammed by a bunch of political thugs in the name of change. I hope we are wiser next time.
Sham!!!

If Jonathan was still the President, all hell would have let loose and insults from all corners especially, from social media.

This is the change you asked for and you have gotten. With the kind of campaign ran by the APC, I thought by now Nigeria would have been transformed and most of our problems gone but most unfortunately, APC has only compounded the problems they met and continued with their campaign of lies and propaganda. Blaming PDP for everything and forgetting that the elections are over.

I hope they wake up soon to their responsibilities and face governance and start solving the problems for which they were elected.

divinehand2003:
YES DONALD, YOU HAVE SAID IT ALL, AFRICA IS A POOR CONTINENT WITH SO MANY UNDERDEVELOPED AND FEW DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.
EVEN IN THE MIDST OF THE HUGE NATURAL RESOURCES AND GOOD CLIMATIC CINDITIONS, WE ARE SO DAFT WE CANNOT PRODUCE WONDERS WITH THEM.
INSTEAD WE SIT DOWN AND BECKON ON THE WHITES TO STEAL OUR DIAMONDS OVERSEAS.
ALL WE GET IN RETURN IS PEANUTS IN THE NAME OF NGO, AIDS, AND LOANS SOME OF WHICH WE WILL PAY BACK.
WHAT A LAZY CONTINENT INDEED.......

Though it's painful but it's the truth.

We don't have to fight him but reflect on what he has said. We need to examine his words and not insult him like we usually do

ManTiger:
You are very stupeed. Do you know anything about abnormal profit these companies made when the Otuoke Dullard increased the price of PMS for no reason? I repeat, you are very stupeed! Re-read the article and employ your medulla. Idiot!

Please, read your comment again and see if it offers anything tangible or rather if it made any sense. You are in a public space, decorum is expected not insulting others and throwing tantrums. It only reveals your emptiness and shallowness.

Get it right, every company in the oil sector all over the world is facing a similar challenge of significant drop in oil price and Nigeria is not left out. Making super profit on oil subsidy can never be Jonathan's fault; he saw the rot and took the bold step to remove it but Nigerians took to the streets for it to be re-instated. No matter how it adds up, subsidy doesn't just make any sense. You subsidy production and not consumption which in turn create jobs and wealth for the nation and its people.

And calling Jonathan a dullard, I totally disagree with you. I don't know who is a dullard between a man that calls for bloodshed when he lost an election and one who without compulsion relinquish power for peace despite obvious irregularities and having the power to upturn the election. It takes great wisdom to sacrifice self for the good of others. Shallow mind think of self.

please learn proper manners.

veraponpo:
Jonathan destroyed this country.

Most of the reports of 2014 up to first quarter of 2015 were bad.

The worst part was the fact that states were owing staff and federal government borrowing to pay salaries forthe first time in the history of this country.

When there was civil 1967 to 1970, Awolowo did not borrow and still gave the Igbos 20 pounds each after the war.

Shame on Jonathan who failed in plenty.

Stop turning history on its head. Igbos were never given free 20pound but given 20pound irrespective of their bank balances.

please get your facts right.

On Jonathan, time will tell.

timunstopable:
People forget one thing it was Buhari that recommended Jonathan to the common wealth

no biggies he could ve sent Obj

Tanzanians shouldn't be too happy becos Jonathan condones coruuption and impunity.check Diezani, stella Oduah, His Cso, Ekiti Rigging Tape etc

.If there are irregularities he ll just fold his hands and do nothing .

He doesn't ve balls like His Campaign director FFk said

You are making no sense at all. What's going on around you now is what?


Indiscriminate arrest and detention by DSS is what?; nominating corrupt persons for minsterial appointment is what? Appointing people from your zone to key govt appointments is what? Have a relation as acting INEC chairperson is what?

you can say these fool things to the uninformed and not to those who are informed. Stella Oduah, diezani, okonjo and the rest are corrupt but fashola, Ameachi, fayemi, tinubu, aregbesola and the rest are clean and people of integrity. keep on fooling yourself, soon the wool covering your eyes will be lifted and you come face to face with the truth. i'm tire of reading trash of this nature.

tell us in all honesty what has changed?

ISpiksDaTroof:
Why can't you clowns accept the fact that nobody truly likes your clown? Stop forcing this ugly joke down our throats.

Please speak for yourself and your likes. Millions all over Nigeria, Africa and the world appreciate Mr Jonathan; so, you and your likes are so inconsequential. It takes a great mind to apreciate one and no need for anyone to force you, it just tells who you are.

Intendy:
They want to come and see the true definition of practical cluelessness.

Since you know what cluelessness means. Can you help us define it.

i hope people can stop displaying their ignorance in the open. Let have a profile of you and compare if you have attain in your entire life a tenth of what GEJ has attained and you dare say he's clueless. You with all the clues in the world, can you show us what you have achieved in your lifetime.
Sort your life, GEJ has made a name for himself no matter how hard you try he remains a former president of this great nation.

[quote author=oz4real83 post=39134783]Yes o! They are all eager to physically see the man who supervised the looting of this nation to stupor. They want to see the man who watched while over 276 chibok girls were kidnapped. They want to see a man who said America will know if 20billion dollars was stolen in Nigeria. The want to see the man who said stealing isn't corruption. They want to see the man who said there is no poverty in Nigeria because Nigerians have the most private jets in Africa. They want to see the man who granted presidential pardon to an unrepentant convicted criminal. They want to see the only president who reliquished his authority to women especially his wife and female ministers. They want to see the man who watched while polytechnics went on strike for almost a year! They want to see the man who failed to build a refinery for 6years despite the availabilty of sure-p funds. They want to see the man who gave opportunities for common criminals and drug barons to become billionaires in this country. If I were a tazanian and have heard so much atrocities committed by just one man,I will be very eager to see that person with my two eyes,not to praise him but to ask him the sins the people committed to warrant such actions!!![/quote

one word for you badbelle!

Jesusloveyou:
U expect a clueless corrupt hero that is morally corrupt to observes a free and fair election

t
From the abundant of the heart, the mouth speaketh. You can't offer what you don't have; it's as simple as that. You address others the way you are. I wish you grow up and learn to be more discrete in the future. Don't expect everyone to be as blind as you are. Jonathan remains a hero and a billion of you can't change that. if you are wise, start accepting it and live with it.

Learn the lesson of the syrians who today are scattered all over the world because of crisis in their own country then you will appreciate what Jonathan did for the love of his country. Which little mind like you, will never undertake.

Abati remains a prolific writer and very scintillating write up all the time. A pleasure to read anytime.

Though shocking to Abati, i don't think it's new. Betrayal is part of parcel of our political life. Lesson learnt, can we stop pulling our own down? it makes even us and the accusser look foolish and dimish us as a people.

Jwhizzy:
This woman is proof that human greed is ad infinitum. How do you go from executive director in an IOC to petroleum minister and still steal money like a common criminal?

Anyways, fingers crossed the British authorities get a conviction, with the help of Baba's body odour

We have heard so much about her alleged crimes. It's proper that we hear from her and let not hasten to judge her. You always need both sides of the story - that of the accused and the accuser. Hearing only from the accuser and making judgement based on that only can be erroneous and one-sided which cannot be seen to be unfair. We have been fed with sufficient information on a daily basis on her alleged looting and crimes, it's proper will hear her own side.
I'm in no way exonerating her but let give her the right of fair hearing and not condemn her before she is heard. i really want to know her side of the story if truly she is a cold blooded looter as alleged.

Firefire:
Junk news

That you! Nigerians can believe anything under the Sun. Na wa oooo!

No sense in the news at all.

room089:
The bridge is simply a greek gift to the south easterners!

Igbos being deceived since 1459!

Buhari should better revoke that scam!

The author of this piece is a liar and criminal. Let him provide proof of all the allegations made. How is it possible for N2000 to be charge for toll fare for a saloon car? who will use the bridge when the old bridge is free. It's a shame that we believe virtually anything.
the tale like others can stand the test of time.

Obrigardo:
Isn't this good reason for our ibo brothers to stop insulting President Buhari and focus their sights on the corrupt jonathan and his cronies?
Is this not a good reason to let the false agitation of a fraud and hoax called Biafra to die?
Is this not a good reason to see that biafra will turn out to be the greatest disaster a civilization ever produced because the same IBO LEADERS who were trying to milk nigeria with the 2nd niger bridge are the same people the "over zealous" youths shouting biafra will turn to for salvation?

What is really wrong with the wailing wailers and biafraudsters? are you guys so blind to see we have moved on more than a decade ago?

We need to know that there are lots of misinformation out there, deliberately concurred to deceive the innocent public. The china bridge is longest and the cost is higher than what he is quoting. How possible will a saloon car be charged N2,000 and trucks for N7,000,00 for using the bridge. We should stop believing everything will read.This is a wicked lie from the bottom of hell.
The author deliberately wants to mislead people and spread hate. If what he is saying is truth let him provide proof. People can be so maliciously wicked. The chinese bridge is 26km and cost over $8billion. See link for more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiaozhou_Bay_Bridge.

eluquenson:
Sure P was a scam, all the palliatives was just an avenue to steal money, it's obvious and you don't need to mention what they did cos if he has done well with the fund...the whole Nigeria will see not you to tell lies here.

According to you, Sure-p is a scam. Can you provide substantial evidence to back your claim? A deafening silent! Have you carried out any investigation on their activities that led to your conclusion? So sad, the world we live in today. we should stop following the crowd.

You obviously need education and enlightenment. you are among the majority that believe that Nigeria is a rich nation and the only problem is how to distribute the wealth for all to enjoy. You are living a delusion and a lie; wake up to reality. Google is your friend, do some simple research on countries and their GDPs and per capital income then compare with Nigeria.

What's the total annual budget of Sure-p? it's just a drop in the ocean compared to the enormous challenges confronting the nation. The government can't solve our problems but they are critical enablers that provide the right environment that allows human activities to strive for a decent living. It's not enough to criticize but to be an indispensable agent for change, progress and prosperity. Mere criticism is destructive. Criticism must be objective and based verifiable facts. Do yourself a favour don't be like the crowd that moves by following others; equip yourself with factual data before holding on to any position.

eluquenson:
Next joke please, you don't need to celebrate failure.

Can you learn to be objective. Do you have any evidence that the Sure-P scheme is a failure.

This is why Nigeria is in this state, without verifiable facts you condemn the hard work of your fellow country man and call their work a failure and joke. It's a pity that those with eyes refuse to use them. I challenge you to investigate and still come out with the same conclusion.

Sad!!!!

eluquenson:
We all know Sure-P was a scam and a big scam in Nigeria.

That government scammed all of us, they engaged in an extreme gross misconduct, i know it's only God can judge them.

GEJ my hass

It's indeed sad that after the laudable achievements made by Sure-P, the pioneer chairman could come and rubbish all the hardwork of honest Nigerians working as consultants, staff, contractors and administrators who worked hard to execute various programmes, projects in various parts of the country. It's indeed shameful that we want to rush everything in the mud despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

i can not mention here the numerous projects carried out through Sure-P in terms of roads, boreholes in various parts of the country, rural electrification, rehabilitation of rural primary health care centres and the building of new ones, building and rehabilitation of primary schools, distribution of sewing machines, keke maruwa and others to help the unemployed.

please carry out your independent verification to confirm these claims. Obviously, the scheme can never be entirely free from corruption but to rubbish all the good works of the dedicated and commitment ones is wicked and mischievious.

Let celebrate our little archievements; it sends out the right signal and encourages others to emulate such acts.

Femi Aribisala lol The hate-filled old man. The Wailers Grand patron and Fellow of the Chronic Wailing Wailers Association of Nigeria.

It is no longer islamization right? It is now witchcraft. When are u guys going to get over this defeat?? Some of u people will die of beef and hatred before 2019 as you lots are going.

Before the election, this Aribi-write-trash was screaming about islamization, now see the nonsense a supposed intellect is writing.

When are u guys going to finally see that Buhari has no special agenda save to build a Nigeria we can all be proud of. That was his plan 30 yrs ago, but he was cut short by evil men that didn't want Nigeria to progress.

The rot that followed his exit clearly vindicated his approach which a lot of people condemned then.

Fate has smiled on Nigeria once again as the simple man who is passionate about just setting things in the proper perspective is back 30 yrs after he was sent packing.

And some mofos think we'd fold our arms and let them frustrate him again??

The millions who voted him and the millions of his supporters that didn't even vote are ready to give him the necessary support he needs to fix this country. Wailers can continue wailing and coming out with preposterous conjectures daily.

We'll always be there to counter u guys. For your information, as we are the majority that voted for him, we are also the majority in the background.

Nigeria and PMB must succeed!

A lot of u myopic and senseless lots has been chanting the opposite even on this forum. But your evil pronouncements will not stand in Jesus name. And neither shall it come to past.

Nigeria and PMB will succeed!!

Unfortunately what would stick in the minds of many is where he was interpreted to have endorsed the clueless fisherman's "anti corruption" efforts;not this clarification.
Damage done already.

You call a fellow man clueless and what does that make you? A super clever man! Yet you haven't achieve a tenth of what he has accomplished.

you need to weigh your words properly before displaying them in a public forum.
