Exactly how politics should be played. Not the bad belle politics some people preach!

This man should have been an athlete. He covers more distance than even Messi or Neymar do.

Does he ever get tired of running at all?

The kind of touts promulgating laws for us!

Pidggin:
No effort was made by the president to soften his stance, only NASS is making such an effort because they understand what we the masses are going through. What kind of president would act like this for God sake? They say when two Elephants fight, the grass suffers, NASS is doing this because of us, but the president could care less if we suffer or not as long as he shows everyone how POWERFUL he is, smh

And you think that that's what this is about?

Why constitute such nuisance in the cyber space?!

Each time I read your comments, they keep going low, low and low, sinking by the minute with no substance to them, whatsoever! Even by your own abysmal standards, that was a record shallow!

It's not even a contest.

Only OBJ could have.

Like mother, like daughter. Beauty runs in the blood!



Enjoy, na your time.

Dino, be warming up for a return home.

Only now, your recall will be well justified!

Inferiority complex is your problem. What is special about that thing compared to say, Abuja?

These guys are best left to wallow in self deceit. To trash Talk anything naija dey sweet dem for belle.

modath:
How? Same Language, culture & ideology,? Educate me! Thx.

Same everything...except Anambra Igbos tend to think little of others. They talk down anything other than Anambras. You know, they too are wary of the domineering attitude.

Nobody would want to be a subject in a land of supposed freedom fighters!

Chiwude:
Intelligent post. Oil is not everything, brains and human capacity development is? It beats my imagination that even in this 21st century, some lazy folks are still hinging their hopes on revenue from oil proceeds. The future looks bleak for these people?

Oil is not everything, sure. But it means so much!

How better have your brains fared?

Or you think that import-export is any rocket science?

Does it take magic to buy from Onitsha and sell in Lokoja?

President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, insisted that he was yet to be convinced that the vast majority of ordinary Nigerians would derive any tangible benefit from a devaluation of the Naira.

A statement issued by special adviser to the president on media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina said Buhari spoke at a meeting with members of the Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries.

Buhari said that he still held the conviction which motivated his principled resistance to devaluation in his first tenure as Head of State.

“when i was military Head of State, the IMF and the World Bank wanted us devalue the Naira and remove petrol subsidy but I stood my grounds for the good of Nigeria.

“The Naira remained strong against the Dollar and other foreign currencies until I was removed from office in August, 1985 and it was devalued.

“But how many factories were built and how many jobs were created by the devaluation?

“That is why I’m still asking to be convinced today on the benefits of devaluation,” Buhari told the retired Permanent Secretaries led by Otunba Christopher Tugbobo.

The president welcomed the Council’s pledge of support for the successful implementation of his administration’s Change Agenda, especially in the priority areas of improving security, curbing corruption and revitalizing the national economy.

“I am glad you have rightly identified the key issues we campaigned on.

“We need a dynamic bureaucracy which will not mislead us into taking wrong decisions,” the President said.

The Council of Retired Federal Permanent Secretaries was established in 2004 to serve as a platform for retired permanent secretaries to offer constructive advice to government on key policy issues.

Chief Philip Asiodu, the pioneer Chairman of the Council, said that its members want the present administration to succeed because Nigeria has already lost many opportunities for progress.

“We are non-partisan. The interest of Nigeria is paramount to us and we are anxious that you should succeed,” Asiodu told the President.

Rejoinder to Christopher123 Post titled

British Biafra Igbo Same Stories of Membership. Nigeria lesson

with link
https://www.nairaland.com/3066540/britishbiafraigbo-same-stories-memberships-nigeria


As a south south person who have followed Nigeria politics closely there are things that are very crystal clear to all Nigerians about Nigeria unity.

No matter how everybody pretend about Nigeria Unity or Division today, everything boils down to Niger Delta oil.

The following scenarios prove my point:

1. Ask Biafra to form thier country with South east alone for a start, let South South Join them later if they wish. You will see strong opposition from Biafrans. You start hearing stories and plenty version of history. How south south people speak Igbo. How Jaja of opobo is Igbo. How Anioma is more Igbo than Benin bla bla bla as if they care. The next thing you will hear is let do a referedum. And ask South South people to choose between Biafra and Nigeria. This is d greatest Hippocracy in d matter. I WILL BE VERY HAPPY IF BIAFRA AGITATORS PUT REFEREDUM TO SOUTH SOUTH PEOPLE AS THREE OPTION INSTEAD OF TWO. LET THEM ASK SOUTH SOUTH PEOPLE TO CHOSE AMONG NIGER DELTA REPUBLIC, BIAFRA OR NIGERIA. When Biafra agitator start making the referedum three options instead of two, i will become a strong supporter of d movement. But instead they will start divide and rule on south south. They will start telling south south people how Ijaw and Itsekiri dont agree. how okrika and ikwerre dont agree etc. As if Niger delta people agree with them more than fellow south south person.

2. Let Biafra openly say they dont want South South in Biafra, Nigeria will grant them freedom within a year.

3. Let Niger Delta oil dry up, and Biafra struggle continues, Nigeria will divide within d first six months of no oil.

4. Another reason North want One Nigeria is because of Lagos. Lagos is d prize of south west. North is landlock. Lagos is d major source of import to Northern Nigeria.

In summary No matter how Biafra agitators pretend or One Nigeria Northerner or South Westerner pretend, Everything Boils down to Niger Delta oil as at today. SOUTH EAST,SOUTH WEST AND THE WHOLE NORTH ARE ALL PARASITE TO SOUTH SOUTH.

I know some will say IMO and ABIA have some oil. True. ONDO state Oil is more than IMO and ABIA combined. The sharing of 13% derivative among oil producer clearly shows this.

The truth is dat the most important thing or interest to human beings is economic interest. It is not brotherhood, it is not religion.

The importance of Niger Delta is so obvious today. Nigeria is almost dead just because oil price drop by 70%. No fuel, no dollar, PDP/APC Governors cant pay salary all over d six geopolitical zone, inflation etc all boil down to low price of Niger Delta oil. No light is still about Niger Delta gas. The truth is dat Niger Delta is d air Nigeria breathe.

As long as Biafra Map have South South in it, Biafra will continue to be a mirrage. There will never be referedum. It can only happen by war. All most all d war in d world is about economy not religion.

If South East want to leave Nigeria without south south, Nigeria will rather encourage it than prevent it. The North Will be very happy to hear that.

I tuale for you, man! Such a good thinker!

HammerTheirPapa:
Our yoruba muslims are the biggest problem we have in yorubaland. They are the sabos that prefer fulani to another person.

In Yoruba land, you're indoctrinated from birth that your tribe is your primary affiliation. Religious affiliation is at best, secondary.

I don't see how religion is the issue, as you claimed. That's assuming you're even Yoruba to begin with. They are way too sophisticated to play petty!

blueto:
This is a derogative and repugnant statement against an ideal institution like UNIBEN.

Virtually all tertiary educational institutions in the country are betide with prevailing or recessing cultist activities, But UNIBEN have so for been able to curtail such minacious incursions to a very modicum rate.

The issue of cultism in the varsity is now antiquated.

Patrick Obadiagbon, I sight you!

He runs from pillar to post

Adjudges himself innocent of all charges pressed against him

Faults the past government

Hunts for glory

Stalls trial

Writes a letter to the gods

Blackmail Tinubu

......


Saraki could be our very own Pandora with the box. But what trick will he pull next?

Reminds me of that saying about a dying python!

It's just funny how embittered these kids are!

How can a people be so full of outrage, fury and a kind of visceral hatred that goes beyond simple bigotry!

Buhari's crime?

Having unmitigated galls to win against their "hero"...

Yikes!

With brains like these, it's worthless having a degree!

Many thieves abound, but Saraki is a special kind.

This man is a rare breed of evil!

Think Saraki and the NASS, think the Devil, Satan and his agents! Their plans have always been diabolical.

Only God knows just how many people he must have failed and plunged into a sea of agonies!

I'm now beginning to think that IBB ascribed the "evil genius" title to the wrong head!

So US finally knows?

Didn't realise uncle Jona was being prophetic when he said that "America will know".

Kicking the man out was one of the best decisions ever made by mankind.

I no longer wake up to news that government cannot afford to pay salaries, or will have to borrow to do so. This, despite raking in the highest revenue in recent memory.

We are no longer warned to brace up for hard times by some economist of doom, who despite being de facto VP and carrying all that World Bank baggage, couldn't coordinate the economy even at a time of plenty like her title suggested.

People are now being shown that stealing is corruption

We now have a government that means A when she says A.

Like a miracle worker, our Foreign Reserves have been steadied despite the falling oil prices.

We now look IMF in the eye and tell it: We won't devalue! That's some balls!

But wait o, I believe Saraki needs no helping, not after that well written open letter I saw yesterday.

I see this as an attempt at being mischievous, but get this straight,

The SS makes both human and resource contributions to the national coffers. Lots of technocrats of SS extraction have contributed their quota in getting the nation to this point in her storied journey.

They are just as entrepreneurial as their Igbo counterparts. Delta state alone contributes a whole lot in this regard, not to mention the whole SS combined.

They have lazy people, agreed, but what region doesn't?

It may not mean much to you, but the generosity of the people alone is just as much a contribution as any.
They do not think little of anyone because the nation draws from oils deposited in their backyard.

It's a natural resource, fine, but how many of your folks will allow others take from that mango in their backyard?

Should incase you think little of how much contributions oil alone makes to the Nigerian economy, check out these Swiss oil trading firms: Vitol and Trafigura. Vitol alone makes $270b in revenue per annum.

Lots of factors in Nigeria contribute to not give us clearer picture of things.

CFCman:
As a US Senator, he will earn a yearly salary of $175,000.

In Nigeria, senators buy $90,000 worth of SUVS per head!

One thing I know about people up North is that they don't bluff. They always match their words with actions.

Heck, most times, they don't even talk at all, they just walk it.

Imagine if every region held their representatives as accountable, guys would have long settled in their senses.

Where's chukwudi44 to come defend his ilk? It's going down, 'pa!

GEJ and his co-wanderers really meant to cripple Nigeria.
Even IBB will bow where he is present.

That's why when I saw that he listed those gibberish he claimed as achievements, I felt sorry for him. I used to think that the responsibility of governing a country as Nigeria was why he was like that, little did I know his cluelessness transcends his ascension of public offices.

Falz, everybody's guy! May you continued to soar, bro!

Make I dey observe...

Imagine say, you devalue the naira, alright.

Let me quickly highlight the disadvantages:

The value of investors' holdings reduces. This will scare off foreign investors.

There will be a sharp rise in the cost of debt repayments owed in foreign currency/ies

Inflation results.

Reduction in the purchasing power of the citizenry.

Just to list a few.

The insistence on Nigeria devaluing the naira for me is a sort of modern day colonialism that's meant to sap the poor and plunge us into deeper problems than we've found ourselves in today.

"The IMF, along with the World Bank has put the global on a path of greater inequality and environmental destruction." (Per global exchange website).

Ladies and gentlemen, that, in quote above, is the agenda...always has been!

So, Mr president, thanks for maintaining your stance. Your resolve will be tested, but never will you cave in to suckers and conduits of western enrichment!

Alright boss, I just copied your phone number. I will contact you. Here's hoping the earpiece and shipping price won't send the price crazily high.

About time. They should seek alternative means of repayments.

Innocent workers have borne the cross for far too long.
It's bad enough that they take home peanuts, value of which has since been eroded by inflation. They shouldn't be made to bear the burden of the governors' inefficacy.
