According to CBN, foreign investors fallen sharply, foreign banks close shops. Nigeria becomes the biggest debtor country in Africa.
Buhari voters are most ignorant. They don't reason from the head, religious extremism and private pursuits influence Buhari voters who despite reading these facts but still intend to vote Buhari.
Abagworo: Any evidence? You were recorded clearly saying election would be held the next day and absconded in the morning and claiming election held same day you postponed it. Nigerians are beyond that level of deceit.
Rochas Okorocha has been advised to political irrelevance by people like you.
Were you not warned since 2014 to let Okorocha understand that he was reducing Imo state to become the state capital?
You thought it was people envious of Okorocha's Owerri being the only modern town in Imo state.
Xisnin: How can a 72-year-old Buhari passport be on a 1961 WAEC result? Everybody, please give it up for Oluwole Muhamadu Buhari. He deserves some accolade for this great feat.
Because Oluwole forgers with their client know that majority of Nigerians can easily be fooled.
Name a presidential candidate who refuses political debate before presidential election. Only Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria.
seunmsg: I still don't understand why Abaribe is not in detention. He swore under oath to produce Nnamdi Kanu at all times in court till the prosecution is over and the court granted him bail on the strength of that promise. Now that we know Kanu is alive and hiding in Israel, Abaribe should either produce him or be sentenced to lengthy jail term.
Desire for cheap cash from Crude oil must not pollute your thinking faculty to the degree that you can't understand that Nigerian soldiers went to kill Nnamdi Kanu, and he escaped.
Therefore, Sen Abaribe is not privy to Kanu's escape, Abaribe could have produced Kanu in court if the soldiers had not invaded Kanu's house.
26 other unarmed civilians were murdered and hundreds of others tortured ISIS style by the soldiers.
The same manner gov. Okorocha FAILED in pushing his son-in-law to succeed him without consulting his Imo APC colleagues;
it's the same manner that gov Okorocha shall FAIL in his bid to represent Orlu zone in the next Senate. Gov. Okorocha took Orlu zone as foot mat for eight years.
Imagine: gov Rochas Okorocha suffocated the University teaching hospital and international market in Orlu; dismantled the Sam Okwaraji Stadium completed by his predecessors in Orlu; but built a new stadium with floodlights, all round seats and synthetic turf in Okigwe.
Okorocha as governor did not establish any meaningful development infrastructure in Orlu zone, he only built his private university in his Ideato South hometown, with roads leading to it right from Owerri.
Okorocha must be thinking that Buhari govt shall force him upon Orlu zone as Senator.
GistmoreNG: A man identified as Chiwendu Iwuamadi has been arrested by the the Imo State Command of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps for allegedly selling poisonous meat infected with tuberculosis to consumers in the state.
Punch Metro reports that Iwuamadi, 33, who hails from the Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area of the state, was arrested after allegedly selling the poisonous meat to a customer, who was an undercover operative of the corps.
Parading the suspect on Wednesday, at the command headquarters in Owerri, the state Commandant of the corps, Mr Raji Ibrahim, said Iwuamadi was arrested on Tuesday, October 16, 2018 on Egbu Road, Owerri.
Ibrahim, who stated that the lumps of meat sold by the said suspect were tested and certified poisonous by relevant personnel, added that Iwuamadi was known for the crime, and had been placed under surveillance by the corps undercover operatives.
He said:
“Veterinary doctors, who conducted tests on the pieces of meat sold by Iwuamadi, confirmed that the meat was infected with tuberculosis and not recommended for consumption”.
“However, we gathered that after burying these condemned lumps of meat, the suspect would exhume them from where they were buried, wash and sell them for consumption.”
Iwuamadi, however, said he was a worker in an abattoir, adding that the pieces of meat he sold were the pieces gathered from cow legs, which were called tie-tie.
He said:
“I gathered the pieces of meat on Friday and sold to one customer the same day for N600. To my surprise, when I came to the abattoir the next day (Saturday), I was called that some officers and veterinary doctors were looking for me.
“I did not run because I did not nurse any fear that I had committed any offence.
“But they arrested me and said my stock-in-trade was selling of poisonous meat to people.”

Mosesm: Rivers State Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has denied nominating Mr Peter Obi as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice-presidential candidate.
Wike said the visit of four Southsouth governors to President Muhammadu Buhari had no political connotation, noting that the governors were in the Presidential Villa to discuss the development of Niger Delta.
He spoke in an interview with Channels Television Roadmap 2019.
Wike said: “I never nominated Peter Obi. But the mere fact that the Vice Presidential Candidate is coming from the South-East does not give the zone the sole right to nominate a person , since the entire country will benefit.
“When the South-East said they were not consulted before Peter Obi was nominated, where did we meet as a party to agree that the Vice Presidential Candidate must come from the South-East. But we said if the Presidential Candidate believes he has somebody to work with, we said so be it “.
On the new minimum wage, Wike said the review could only be sustained when the nation’s revenue sharing formula was reviewed.
“I will never oppose the upward review of minimum wage for workers. But the revenue sharing formula must be reviewed. Assuming a state like Zamfara gets N3 billion monthly, and their monthly wage bill is N4 billion, then the state will not survive. Labour should understand the situation.’’
“You cannot talk of sustainable new minimum wage when you have not reviewed the revenue sharing formula. More of the money should be moved from the Federal Government to the states that bear the burden of governance. If there is no review of the revenue sharing formula, then we are not being fair".
Shayetet13: So they want to sell PDP built assets. We are in for some long sh*t if we don't retire Buhari to daura come 2019. They will just sell us all. Please if you know you dont want to test the slave trade that our fore fathers experienced, better start mobilizing your village, street or villa members to vote out Buhari. It is a task we must accomplish if we must remain free, otherwise, the Chinese will enter here with chains and carry some people away
In just three years, Buhari has made Nigeria the greatest debtor country in Africa.
Buhari has made Nigeria the world's seat of extreme poverty.
But Buhari major voters are religious extremists and most impoverished who have no access to information.
Aurielfinizu: what of obowo that voted him well, he left us like that.. rochas is a mess
At least, Rochas built a new College of education in Okigwe zone, Ihitte Uboma to be precise, near Obowo.
He built a new IMSU campus in Okigwe and Owerri zones.
He built an ultramodern stadium in Okigwe.
But he wants to trade IMSUTH Orlu with Owerri for his private university.
He dismantled Orlu sports stadium, all the seats and floodlights decayed after the seats were exposed for seven years.
He scrapped the roads leading to Imo international market and IMSUTH Orlu, as well as other roads in Orlu, left the roads abandoned for seven years till today.
Rochas is made of a most wicked heart when it comes to issues of Orlu where he got the highest number of votes in 2011.
For five years, we told you and Okorocha that his war against development in his ORLU zone shall be his Waterloo... You continued posting photos of Okorocha's new hometown of Owerri.
FriendNG: May Jannatul Firdaus be his final destination.
It's all clear who the evildoers are. It shall not be well with both the Berom Christian terrorist and their sympathizers on social media.
The police should arrested those bastard women that protested against the search of his body/car in the so called ancestral pond.
This is not the first time Berom Christian terrorist have killed innocent Muslim travelers going in or out of Bauchi via Plateau State. They should all be fished out and face Justice.
Useless terrorist
Berom terrorists?
But why has Buhari government not branded them terrorists?
But IPOB which did not kill anybody was tagged terrorist organization.
Crude oil matters.
FYI, the year 1999 when 12 northern Nigeria states started to adopt unconstitutional Islamic Sharia Criminal justice system, from that year, northern Nigeria became tumultuous with killings.
divinecode101: Whenever I read comments by this empty chest beaters, it is just an opportunity to have a good laugh
Tinubu is a master strategist greater than any Igbo man dead or alive. Tinubu will not say anything because he is not an empty drum like most you flat_heads are. He makes his noise by eliminating your Ogogoro drinker in 2014 and will still dump Atiku in the dustbin of history
Atiku is dead on arrival. The same strategy Jonathan used is what Atiku and flat_heads are planning to use and you will still fail.
Nigeria is moving to the poorest and most murderous country on earth under president Buhari.
If northern solidarity makes northerners vote Buhari back for second term, time has come for entire northern Nigeria to form a new country, leave southern Nigeria alone.
LAFIA—Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State has warned against his name being linked to the presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
Reacting to an online publication in the state, Al-Makura denied meeting with the PDP presidential candidate in Dubai as alleged in the publication.
Describing the allegations as irresponsible propaganda being sponsored in Nasarawa State over 2019, Governor Al-Makura said the calculated attempt is designed to smear his political position in his mother-party, APC.
His statement According to a statement by his Director, Strategic Communications and Press Affairs, Yakubu Laimai, “the governor has never at any given time held a closed-door meeting in Dubai, UAE, with PDP’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar over 2019 general elections as published by an online media in the state. “The claim that Governor Tanko Al-Makura has agreed to work for Atiku Abubakar to ensure he wins the presidential polls in Nasarawa State is not only a fallacy, distraction and attempts to sow seeds of discord in APC and with President Muhammadu Buhari, but a plan by the opposition to destroy the governor’s hard-earned good records in the state.”
ivandragon: Power generation drops to 2,390MW, 15 plants idle
Power generation in the country plunged to 2 , 390 . 20 megawatts on Monday as the number of idle power plants rose from seven to 15, according to the latest data from the Federal Ministry of Power , Works and Housing . Total electricity generation has been hovering below 4 , 000 MW in recent months and stood at 3 , 741 . 30MW as of 6 am on Sunday .
The nation generates most of its electricity from gas -fired power plants, while output from hydropower plants makes up about 30 per cent of the total .
But the three hydropower plants accounted for more than 50 per cent of the electricity generated as of 6 am on Monday, with Kainji , Jebba and Shiroro producing 366 MW , 354 MW and 494 MW , respectively . Egbin , the biggest power station in the country , saw its output drop to 176 MW on Monday from 306 MW on Saturday .
The idle plants are Sapele , Afam IV & V, Geregu , Omotosho , Geregu NIPP , Alaoji , Omotosho NIPP , Odukpani NIPP , Ihovbor NIPP , Gbarain NIPP , Okpai , Afam VI , AES , ASCO and Rivers IPP .
The PUNCH had reported on Monday that electricity generation companies in the country were saying that their plants were being forced to operate below their optimal capacity levels .
The Executive Secretary , Association of Power Generation Companies, the umbrella body for the Gencos , Dr Joy Ogaji , in an emailed response to questions from our correspondent , attributed the problem to transmission and distribution .
She said, “Specifically , generation companies are pinned down by some operational impediments . The frequency of instructions to either increase load or decrease load ( ramp up and ramp down) and , in some cases, shut down, has induced damaging stresses to the components of the machines .
“These instructions, reflective of the grid behaviour , are subjecting key electrical components of the power plants to operational stresses. Our available generation has always been steady between 7 , 500 MW and 8 , 000 MW ; you can check the records at the National Control Centre , Osogbo . ”
Millions of Igbos dispersed from Nigeria by anti-Igbo policies of Nigerian government, policies initiated by people of old Sokoto and Kanem Borno Empires after the Nigeria VS Biafra war.
Grayxme: Kaduna – President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said the recurring killings in Kaduna State must stop and directed security agencies to hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice. Buhari made the remarks in Kaduna where he went to commiserate with victims of the recent clashes in the state. He said those who were used to going Scot free after such killings, must now answer for their crimes. “The Federal Government will take strongest measures possible to punish perpetrators of these crimes. No one will go Scot free. “We shall now hold everyone to account for these latest killings,’’ the president stressed. Buhari who described the incidents as “unacceptable’’, said Kaduna must not earn itself a new name as “home of violence.’’ “My earnest appeal to all citizens of Kaduna is to do their best to uphold peace in their respective communities,’’ he said. The president commended the state government for managing the crisis, and assured that his administration would recruit more security personnel and deploy them nationwide to protect citizens. He also welcomes the pledge of the state and local governments to support the construction of more police and civil defence offices to enhance security at the grassroots. Buhari appealed to all citizens to be law abiding, learn to listen to each other and resolve differences through peaceful means. He also said that individuals and communities must respect the rights of others to live wherever they chose, worship freely and pursue lawful livelihood anywhere in this country. Buhari said that the federal government is doing its best to develop human capital, tackle poverty and inequality in all parts of the country, as well as provide decent education and health. While responding to an appeal by Gov. Nasiru El-Rufa’i, the president pledged to promptly look at the outstanding issue of compensation for victims of the 2011 post election violence in the state. Earlier, El-Rufa’i, the state governor, had briefed the president on the security situation in the state and informed him that the state would henceforth enforce the 1915, 1917 and 1958 laws to hold communities where violence occur, fully responsible. He said that the state government also plans to set up new police and military outposts in Kasuwan Magani, Narayi, Sabon Tasha and other flash points. The governor appealed for the deployment of 30 additional judges to fast truck justice delivery in the state. Also, the Emir of Zazzau, Dr Shehu Idris commended the prompt action taken by the state government and security agencies to contain the crisis. He urged all citizens to live in peace and shun religious and community leaders as well as individuals pushing them to violence. The emir advised that all those found involved in the crisis as well as those promoting rumour be adequately punished. He called for more dialogue among religions and communities to enhance peace in the state.
These Killings are due to Religious divide, and took alarming proportions since the 12 northern Nigeria states adopted Unconstitutional Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes.
Let them Renounce the adoption of Islamic Sharia Criminal Codes for peace and unity to return to Nigeria.
Nigeria holds President Buhari on account for every Nigerian killed in lawless manner while Buhari is at the apex political leadership position of Nigeria.
President Buhari's industry, main investment, is promoting Islamic Sharia Criminal codes in a multireligious country, Nigeria, but sends his kids to Western universities.
Hypocrisy. Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are anti Western Education.
Pity the almajiris who constitute Buhari's main voters.
Okay. Show us Buhari's son working in Buhari's industry employing more than ten people.
Since early adulthood, Buhari has been eating fat from Nigeria, but has nothing to show for it except sending his kids to Western Universities, but tells us that he will not relent until Islamic Sharia Criminal codes are used all over Nigeria.
