If Killary Clinton's leaked emails were any indication, one cannot be wrong to allege they may have a hand in it.

SAS may have started that bull crap, but some powerful forces hijacked it.

I also believe that they have the support of top military officers who just wouldn't let their major stream of income vanish into the thin air (this is a fact by the way; not a claim). Someone within the armed forces is responsible for the death of the late Lt. Col. They considered him a threat and so thought to do away with him.

An officer friend of mine made mention of a UN copter delivering foodstuff and armaments for BH.

I saw firsthand, what a deadly force those terrorists were long before they metamorphosed into this thing. But even at their deadliest, they weren't capable of destruction as this.

I've seen and heard things. It's all politics at play.

To your question, well, that's because Mr. President seems to lose touch with reality. He doesn't even know why he is there anymore.

Power, they say, intoxicates!

Buhari: the most insensitive and tactless President that ever was!

2019 just wouldn't come fast enough.

hobermener:
And someone created a thread some weeks ago, extolling buhari, citing his frugality, discipline and thriftiness as the reason why he was able to keep his divorcee daughter's wedding a low key one, and the major reason why he must be returned to office in 2019. Sometimes I just wonder how pathetic these zombies can get
Very irritating cretins

I think that the decision whether to tone it up a notch or keep it low key is entirely up to the would-be husbands. Therefore, Buhari deserves no praise or criticism whichever way they decide to go.

The Indimis are very flamboyant people, I believe that that played a part here.

You can't dictate to a grown ass man how to spend his money.

Governor Ambode is working! The only man who has truly brought "Change" in this time of "change"



Btw, My Willlie is working too na

Lol. Your Willie is scam. He works only on the pages of newspapers.

People can be outrightly heartless!

It could be that the guy needed the money to pay off his school fees.

These are the kind of people giving Nigeria a bad image. Most probably, the guy just succeeded in ruining his life over a petty sum.

While in camp last year, we were made to sit on the ground by the commandant. Some guy who squatted just in front of me dropped his iPhone 6 on my lap without anyone noticing. I immediately tapped and handed him back his device. That singular act made me an example of integrity in my platoon. I consider that more rewarding than having to hide your head in shame and regret.

Some comments here are quite disturbing.

@billyonaire, what's wrong is wrong, regardless how much you try to justify it. Your argument is flawed and falls flat on your face. Funny how you tried to feign smart but ended up ridiculing yourself. No intellectual worth his/her salt will put up such a myopic line of defense!

Watch as they will all troop out like bees to attack my next statement and call me a hater.


It is ONLY IN NIGERIA a man will wake up overnight and term himself a multimillionaire or billionaire without people bothering to enquire concerning his sudden wealth.

Crime will forever be on the increase in Nigeria and by Nigeria globally because rather than building our children on morals, dignity and hardwork, we emphasize only on money! money!! money!!!



Pardom me to say Most Nigerians irrespective of their wealth are outrightly backwards. What is an American flag doing in front of that house? Where is the Nigerian flag? Or is that the American Consulate Office in Biafra Republic?

Looks to me like the flag atop the US one is Nigerian.

Too much grammar, pls get a chair and wait patiently till 2019. By that time you will have white hair on your head *_no insults intended_*.
You see a junketer that doesn't stay in one place and hasn't done anything tangible except fight corruption for the 1 1/2years at the detriment of our economy and Nigerians.

White hair ke! I'm still very young; in my 20s. LOL.

Nope. Yan daba are gangsters. These particular ones are otherwise known as Yan Sara-Suka.

Nice one!

Bigger men lick their wounds. This isn't cowardice; it's maturity talking.

Going forward, the APC should pick fights among them where they should - it makes them stronger - but they should ensure to spend most of their time formulating policies that will benefit the country and keep Nigerians feeling safe.

Too much time has been wasted chasing shadows. Mr. President needs to spend less time abroad and more time in Nigeria bringing together a team that can formulate good practical ideas to get us out of this quagmire that we are in today. They still have some goodwill, they should make the most of it while it lasts. I hope that everything turns out well for the good of country and people!

Follow new progressive paths and watch your return seem like a walk in the park!

This should teach each and everyone a valuable lesson.

Not True my Broda ...Schools in the South Set High standards for their students.

While most schools in the North /West compromise on Standards.

An average 2.1 graduate from a Southern school can surpass a First class graduate from the north Academically.

Standards & Bottle necks differs in most Nigerian schools. Compare and contrast exam questions/seminars/researches/projects ...You'll notice the difference.

Whatever that thing you smoke is, it must be really strong.

One only needs read your silly submission to know that you're a shallow mind that will struggle to make a third class in ABU, then claim, "na because I come from South," "dem hate us!"

As an alumnus of ABU, I can authoritatively tell you, you nor reach!

Find another way to console yourself of your poor academic performance back in school.

Abi, go try am for UI or OAU make we see na.

Nagode, oga. Kai ma haka!

In "Why Nations Fail", Daron Acemoglu and James Robinson opined that:

States do not fail overnight. The seeds of their destruction are sown deep within their political institutions.

This holds true for Nigeria.

We, as a people, have been utterly unable to take advantage of our society’s huge potential for growth in spite of the numbers.

Our failure, like they alleged, is by design. This too, is true.

I will not stand here and pretend as if the Igbos will be less of a loss to Nigeria than say, the Yorubas, or even the oil rich Delta.

Truth is, those people have contributed to the growth of Nigeria in their own way. They are incredible!

But, we've let the politics separate us; allowed our differences to define us; and have allowed others tell our story for us.

In a nation as diverse as Nigeria, carrying everyone along is important. Unless we tell our leaders the truth, they will continue to come between. After all, the only language they understand is divide and rule.

We've fought battles we shouldn't have. We've won battles but watched others share the spoils.

The average Nigerian lives everyday believing that his next door neighbor is his problem. How untrue that is. We may insult the Igbos all we want - I do that a lot - for fun, actually - but, the truth remains - they are the piece that complete this puzzle.

Stupidity is when Mr. A will want you to believe that Mr. C is your problem... But, be doesn't see any wrong in reaching across to that same person he condemns. Some even go as far as marrying their offspring(s) off to their (your) supposed enemies.

Mr. Rochas, being a majority isn't any consolation. You should channel all that vigor into advising Mr. President on the right thing to do. Our leaders have failed because we have been sycophantic for far too long.

If you want them in Nigeria so badly, you've got to prove to them that they are highly valued, like the rest of the society.

I wouldn't advice my sister to continue in an abusive marriage; for better for worse. Karyan ciwo!

The solution to them staying or not rests squarely on your shoulders (the leaders).

As someone who understands the pareto principle owing to my privileged economics background, I believe that the 5% comment has to be the most reckless, divisive, and belittling sentence that I've heard a president (someone who ironically, should have been a unifying force instead) make.

ZKOSOSO:
Excellent Leaders only come from the South.

Nigeria Economy is of the South

Education is of the South

Nigeria Technology and industries are all of South

Nothing good can come from the North.... We all know this but no one wants to admit it..

No Fulani can lead Nigeria alright because of his Islamising tendency!

So don't ever mention Fulani as future president IF u want Nigeria to progress.

You should seek help ASAP. Your condition keeps getting worse.

If you had an iota of sense, you wouldn't have made such silly comments.

You see, being educated does not imply being brilliant. You, for one, are learned, still, you're dumb as f.u.ck!

If I hadn't been down south, I wouldn't have cared enough to respond. But as someone who has seen it there, here, and somewhere inbetween, I assure you, the difference in education is only in numbers; not quality.

Both smart and dumb people abound everywhere. Education is good, but I've seen even the highly informed brainwashed like they never saw the the gates of a school.

As for economy, Lagos is what it is. It is a country in its own right. That aside, I do not see how much better the rest compare.

melvinjames:
I totally agree with the great FFK, soaking of dogs and baboons should not be exclusive to Bubu and his supporters.

I hope you will be there to lead the line, from the front?

Hmm.

Being in Anambra made me realize that hardwork is ambiguous.

Bros,

ShinnBet:
Abeg shut up


With the recession and high forex, local rice producers will make a fortune at the current rate for imported rice.

You expect them to wait until rice crash ?


Or do you think there is enough holding and processing facilities to handle 20million bags of rice?

Or have you not figured that the farmers can also look at exporting to gain much needed forex?


You zombies sef, you guys reason with your anus

Dunce, better go and sleep. I have no time for a jester like you. I'm not in the mood for comedy.

Igboid:
ShinnBet Argument is simple.

If you produce and flood the Nigerian market with 20 million 50kg bags of rice, the law of demand and supply demands that the current price of local rice and indirectly foreign rice fall.

But has this happened?
No.

I'm sure that even Buharists here know that this news is fake. They are just jumping up and down here for jumping sake.

I went to market on Monday. The price of rice has not changed.

The problem with some of you people is that you see sense in nonsense when it appeals to your emotions.

It takes time for these changes to percolate through the entire economy. How much of that amount do you think has been put on the market already?

Even if all is today, with the same agents sabotaging the economy in the name of buying and selling, do you expect to see any change in the immediate future?

There's enough demand to mop up the excesses put on the market in the short term. It's not as if people aren't willing to buy. So flooding the market with rice wouldn't have the same effect as flood overunning a community.

Abi you expect the same people who still sell foreign rice at 22k to sell local one at 8k? No be them you go leave with those ones?

Long as the producers are still buying other stuff at exorbitant prices, you do not expect a bag of rice to sell at the same price as before.

Bros, even keg of palm wine don add money. It's a domino effect.

These are the reasons why it takes time to feel a change in price.

Worse still, prices are sticky-down. Especially in an economy like ours.

ShinnBet:
Can you honestly believe Kebbi produced 20million 50kg bags of rice? Because that is what one million tonnes of rice is.

Seeing how you've taken it upon yourself to prove that this news isn't true, it's obvious that you are too shallow, so lack deep sense of thought. Even worse, you barely even know what you are arguing against. I bet you have no idea how big Kebbi is or how fertile her land is for rice production.

Factor in hatred and you're left with a man on a mission to self-implode. You must have wanted such news to emanate from Anambra. Only then must it be credible.

You stock too much hatred in one soul. It's bad business even for you.

ianSweet:
U are so correct broda. I have been wasting my facts on him since. He just knows so little to debate intelligently. I think i will decline him

Seriously fa. It will save you a lot of time. At first, I thought he was up to scratch, then I discovered that he's just a regular Joe who uses insults to mask his deficiencies. Na so I zoom off. Ba lokaci.

ianSweet:
Are u aware that Kaduna was carved out of old Kaduna state (which included Katsina)? During that time, southern kaduna people (christians) were extremely small in the state and Katsina and Zaria people dominated everything.

When Katsina left, they handed over to Zaria people and Kaduna state was designed to favour Hausa domination.
These are some of the reasons too.
Christians only started agitating or standing on their rights in Kaduna not too long ago.

Do u know that Ibrahim Nasiru Mantu a muslims was senator of Plateau central for 8yrs? (is Plateau central a muslim dominated zone? Hell no!). Taraba north has produced muslim senators and there was a time that all the 3 senators in Taraba state were muslims, despite the dominant christian populations in these states.
Most northern christians only started becoming religiously conscious recently when it comes to politics, in the past they were never like that.
We in Kogi till today do not give a Bleep about religion when it comes to politics.
Not everyone is a religious bigot like ur types

Sister, you're too informed to engage that guy. All he knows how to is kick and insult. He hasn't made any noteworthy point since.
