...... Nairalanders!

There's nothing wrong with Kemi trying to blend into her environment. My issue with her outfit is how the scarf doesn't match her other outfit .

I'm formally welcoming her to National politics where the opposition party are now into petty politics. But why are some people afraid of Kemi?

OP, you are too sensitive....... you can't last in politics section.

The Nigeria military should kindly get to work and treat these criminals as terrorist.

“It's not enough to go to the Senate and reel out figures. The minister should know, that what Nigerian students pay to sit for WAEC examinations is simply an operational/management cost, that covers registration, data keeping and management, printing of examination papers, logistics, marking of scripts and production of certificates. And all these cost about N16 billion Naira

EFCC should kindly get to work.

What specifically do you want us to do?

keally:
. You are deceived and you chose to remain in the deceit. Now you are shouting that dasuki and co embezzled money meant for arms why don't you say they are corrupt but you are here saying that they stole. Common sense is not common indeed.

In other words, stealing is not corruption but embezzlement is corruption.

Imagine what 4 more years of Jonathan's misrule will have done to psyche.

luvinhubby:
And what has he done since Nigerians started shouting 'too much travelling"......

Ans - More travels.

Obviously those shouting too much travelling are being unreasonable or are not seeing the big picture.

The same shout of too much travelling was experienced during the Obasanjo administration but before the end of his administration we all witness the fruit of his travelling to and fro. Debt cancellation was one of the biggest benefit.

mployer:
Clueless yet the present administration is still riding on his policies.
*his railway project
*his TSA
*His youwin
*His amnesty program
*His warfare equipment

They even copied his budget. Yet, there is no single economic policy the present administration has come up with despite the worsening economic situation.

Jonathan wasn't perfect, but you guys were FOOLISH for thinking a cattle rearer will deliver a 21st century change for you.

What foolish policies! The only policy I can see in what you listed is the Amnesty programme and TSA . The amnesty program was even initiated by the Yar'adua administration and and hopefully will be cancel. While TSA was never implemented by Jonathan for 1 day.

So what's the need of having jaw opening policy you are never interested in implementing for one day?

PAINGAIN:
so u think buhari is our best shot abi? How is that turning out so far? If u actually think buhari is d best nigeria could have presently then something is totally wrong.

We still have 3 more years to judge whether he will deliver or not.

mployer:
The supporters were honestly foolish. The were honest because they truly wanted change, and foolish for thinking a cattle rearer will have enough knowledge to bring the change they want.

You are the foolish one for thinking sensible Nigerians will vote for a clueless man who told us stealing is not corruption.

Acidosis:
Lai Muhammed, his right hand man, said the budget is on point.

We also learnt that Saraki is responsible for the president's swift action against the fraudulent budget, not the voice of Nigerians.

I don't want to believe Lai really said it because he earlier admitted in front of the Senate committee that his budget was also doctored.

The President's swift reaction was as a result of the outcry that followed the admission by the health Minister that his budget was doctored by some budget mafia.

Acidosis:

A President that never listens? They've no choice but to remain silent.

He does listen. When all Nigerians spoke with one voice against that fraudulent budget, he did listen.

The President always listen to the voice of reasoning.

You will never hear it because most of his supporters are patriot. They know their right from their left. They know the best support you can give the President at this point is constructive criticism and not praise singing. They know the different between right and wrong. Above all, they want him to succeed because right now he's our best shot at getting right in this country.

This is unbelievable! Nigerians are unbelievable!

I can't believe with all she raised ,all someone could pinpoint is 16+6 does not equate 24.

EFCC must beam their searchlight on all our examination agencies. They must account for the billions they have been generating since their inception.

I am Abidemi Adesokan, A concerned Nigerian Student who believes there is hope for Nigeria, but Bruce isn't just that guy.

Wahala deh o. Anyway Bruce have put himself out there as a target. If you can dish out then get ready to accept dishing.

It's politics.

I agreed with the Prof. I need to see urgency from the Presidency. I need to see that Presidency is worried as most Nigerians are about the economy.

400 naira to 1 dollar is borderline crazy. No sensible human being will blame the President for this but his government will now be judge by what he is doing to stop the rot.

bigfrancis21:
Did you read her post at all? Isn't it clear where she clearly mentioned when the Northerners were referring to her repeatedly as, 'this Ibo woman'. What else again do you need to confirm that the sack was tribally motivated?

Nigeria have always been a tribalistic country. I'm concerned that as a woman and as Igbo what did she achieve despite those challenges?

Dora Akinyuli have set the standard for women and particularly for women from Igbo tribe. We are all witness to her achievement as DG of NAFDAC. she worked with the so called backward tribe. She worked and deliver within the same corrupt and tribal sensitive system. She didn't give us any foolish excuses. She delivered and she was celebrated by Nigerians.

Once again, what's her achievement?

IGBOPRINCE:
did you read where she said the ministry was suffering when she came in ? No finance to do some certain things, Ok read again..

with such a long articles, you want her to starts telling you what she has done so far for the past 2years and 6month of her stays in NCWD? Meanwhile some useless women from the west and north were there to collects their salaries and show up for work or arrive to work by 11:00am,only to leave before 3pm in the afternoon and she tried her possible best to put a stopped to it and they reported her to their tribalist president. Hence her sack or one of the reasons to her sack.
The person who interview herdid not called her to questions her about what she has achieved so far in NCWD. they wanted to know what prompted her sack.

Ndi ara nairalanders stops being sentimental..

She was not interviewed. It was a press release.

Whynotthetruth:
I served for 2years and five months and did my best under very difficult conditions. We hardly had money to operate and the place was badly run down. Worst, there was low moral and lack of commitment among the Staff. Most spent the day loitering and gossiping. Many would not show up for work or arrive 11 am, only to leave before 3 pm. Some were absent for months and were just collecting their salary at home. My administration changed all that. Most Staff were turned around and became passionate about the work, appreciating also the changes they thought were not possible but were happening right before them.

Isn't the bolded an achievement? Why join this mistake of a human called Caseless to deny the obvious? Isn't what this woman complained of experienced daily in different places in Nigeria? If not igbophobia and ethnic hatred against them, most comments here would be opposite...because the woman stated the obvious truth...

Hold on! What you quoted are challenges she confronted and overcom in the process of doing her job. The job specifics is empowerment of women. what was her achievement in that area?

I understand why she felt she was targeted because is Igbo. But what would have made her complaints credible is to tell us her achievement for the past 2 and half years that she was DG of NCWD.

she should have decorated the whole article with activities she headed to empower women despite all the challenges she faced.

dammytosh:
Some one is desperate to please the masses to escape / evade justice.

The next story to be sold to the gullible masses is that Senate want to be independent, that is why they are witch hunting Saraki.


So we should continue to pay fixed charges without light ? Instead of us to allow them remove fix charges, pay for whatever we use at a reasonable rate and hold Fashola responsible if there is no light for 1hour .
How much do we fuel Generator now ?

That is how some M0r0ns were dancing Kukere when GEJ wanted to end Subsidy.

I think make person just continue dey work hard and say bye to being a middle class.

Would you rather prefer Nigerians to pay 40% increase in price for what they didn't use?

Fashola put the cart before horse. Before asking Nigerians to make sacrifice, he should have task the DISCOs companies to provide meters to all Nigerians.

If the minister is indeed sure of himself, let
him sign an indemnity to or guarantee
Nigerians that if the power is not stable in
two years, he would resign his appointment.
We have started counting again. Our stake in
this matter is that of transparency and logic.”
Omotola said nothing would change
tremendously in two years, even with
electricity tariff hike, [b]citing the technical
capacity of the indigenous companies that
bought the power assets and their financial
capacities to bring together necessary
infrastructure that could guarantee steady
power supply.
What we are suggesting is that the
federal government should set up a finance
development bank that is strictly towards
development projects such as this should be
quickly put together

He made a lot of valid points. If Fashola is truly sure of this policy, he should sign an indemnity with us.

This article made me realised that the increase in tariff is Nigerians paying for in efficency. It's Nigerians paying privately owned companies to run their business. So why the need for privatization?

aljharem:
How is he not nationalistic? Did you actually read the article or you just read the bolded

I read it from A to Z.

The budget is obviously lopsided.

Fashola!

The Minister should realize that he's not the Minister of Lagos but Minister of Nigeria. He should kindly be Nationalistic in his view.

sonofthunder:
our is not that big compared to others... trying to comprehend the universe is try to run 'mad'...Lol.
if you really interested in science try and learn about subatomic particles and discoveries in that area. there's not been many new discoveries with the big objects but the 'small things' are getting really interesting.

Thanks. I'll definitely read up on it.

johnydon22:
Naaah the sun is just too hot i mean Millions of ° hot..

Most stars are extremely hot ..

Well, if science can achieve that, I pray it should in my lifetime.

sonofthunder:
just one galaxy contains hundreds of billions (about 200 billion thereabout) of stars, and same value (approximately not exact) goes for galaxies... so you have trillions if not zillions of stars.
(hope I ain't giving you a headache?)

My goodness! To imagine the stars are almost the same size or bigger than our own sun.

taurus25:
bro you want a spaceship to land on the sun?

Anything is possible in science. If we can land on the moon, we should be able to conquer the sun.

johnydon22:
[b][size=20]10.[/size]Revolution

This is for the ones that think the sun is stationary... Well sorry but it is far from it..

Moons revolve around planets
Planets around stars
Stars around center of a galaxy
the galaxies orbit some bigger galaxies or in a dance of gravitational beat.

all matter in the universe goes on a jolly ride with the expansion of space time..

Our universe is constantly in motion.... Nothing is stagnant or stationary, there is always motion..

The sun is located in the milky way galaxy, in the Orion's arm of the galaxy which is one of the arms of the spiral galaxy..

Like every spiral galaxy, all the arms are swirling around the center of the galaxy.. Stars with planets, clouds and dust.

So our sun alongside with all the solar system is in orbit around the milky way galaxy..

the milky way galaxy is 100,000light years in diameter, the sun (solar system) is about 27,000 light years away from the galactic center.

so it takes about ±250 million years for the sun to complete one resolution around the galactic center.

So yes the sun is not stationary... Picture below: The single dot points where the sun and entire planetary system is in the whole milky way galaxy[/b]

I still can't wrap my mind around how we still have stars that are far far bigger than our own star. How minute the earth is comparison to the universe. How insignificant we all are in comparison to the universe. How big the universe is to contain billion of stars.

To even imagine if I die and reincarnate millions of time I won't still witness the sun finally dying 5 billion years away!

Annoying that in my lifetime I will never witness a spaceship landing on the sun talkless of the universe.

This is crazy.

If heads don't roll pertaining to this fraudulent budget, I'll will be totally disappointed in the President.

989900:
In this instance, he is just a self-serving hypocrite (my opinion), looking out for number one; looking out for 'Blackstone enterprises'.

Buhari is doing the right thing, the hard way; he needs genuine help though -- he needs to listen to more people with both like-mind, and contrary. Personally, I am one of the worst hit by Buhari's stance (on the Naira), but I believe if he does not waver, if he does not relent, the future will surely be better and more solid -- for repetition, he needs help though -- fast!.

Devaluation so far for us, has proven to be nothing but a cosmetic solution to an endemic situation (treating symptoms in-lieu of causes).

The below have been my articles/take so far on devaluation:

Ambode is now working. Nigerians are not people you handle with soft hands.

They should be station at CMS and Apapa area permanently.
