I can see a lot of rejoicing here. Guilty till proven innocent. Bit we forget that karma is a bitch. What goes round surely comes around. Just a matter of time. Just time.

Let Karma rain down on anybody that steals. Simple!

basadenet:
This is total executive interference with the judiciary and this would spell doom for Nigeria in the long run. As at today the penal code on corruption has not been amended to my knowledge. when another person stole pension fund to the tune of 6 billion and the culprit was granted bail in lower ridiculous sum with an option of 6 months in prison, so how come somebody with mere N400 million was given a bail, in the same amount in question with additional N200 million in surety. Our judiciary has been compromised and i pity this country. A government of vendetta.

Bros,

This question should be directed to GEJ's government na........

Shoprite stores in SA = 1 400
Shoprite stores in nigeria = 27

Dstv subscribers in SA = 5.5m
Dstv subscribers in naija= 1.6m

game stores in SA = 700
game stores in naija = 8

what are you talking about, you see SA companies have more investments at home than in nigeria, so they can afford to walk out of Nigeria.

MTN subscribers in SA = ?
MTN subscribers in Nigeria = ?

The US shale oil is currently out of business because at the current oil price they cant produce profitably.Many oil rigs are packed up in the US.

Even the Canadian company that is the biggest fracking company in the world producing Shale oil has folded up and sold out.

OohLalah:
Nigerians bunch of emotional sisies! You need to be well informed first before throwing tantrums all over the show.

South Africa has always majorly bought and used the Iranian oil and Nigerian oil. Until SA was forced to stop buying crude from Iran because of the sanctions.

SA crude oil deal with Iran is an excellent deal to both countries that is not majorly influenced by the OPEC monster. SA is only going back to our working deal with Iran and we will still buy some crude oil from Nigeria but not at the levels we had to buy over the sanctions period.

Thanks Sister.

Fools here will spew ignorance with arrogance.

Adminisher:
Every oil buying country is taking this position. It has jack to do with MTN. India is a case in point . They are buying massively from Nigeria but have taken a position with Iran. Nigerian oil is high quality and priced above the Brent benchmark so every country wants to dilute and get the best of both worlds. Very little to do with MTN.

Thanks Bros,

The rate at which ignorance and myopia spread on NL beats me. Instead of these folks to do some quick research or come clean by asking for implications, they type ridiculous falsehood

luvinhubby:
Even China stopped has stopped giving Nigeria loans since their economy slowed down.

Says who. Stop spreading false information. http://www.news24.com.ng/National/News/china-envisaged-to-fund-stalled-nigeria-projects-20151203

Okanokan:
International Politics is not played the way your response sound. Why is it that, Buhari Supporters responses to critical National Issues is always laced with annoyance and not superior argument? For Goodness sake Nigeria belong to all us, you don't own it more than me.

May be because you "Non Buhari supporters" turn logic on its head ab-initio.........

Meanwhile international politics is not played with companies illegally exploiting host countries in revenues and government take. The SA government will not even support that (overtly or covertly), as it will send a wrong signal that SA companies are cheats........

MansaMoussa: :
Nonsense!
We can boost the domestic market in Africa For our oil.
Secure a low interest loan from China and build a west Africa gas pipeline extending all the way to Gambia...then sell at rock bottom price, govt to govt..
Russia did it in Europe...we can do it

now please tell me how naija tends to achieve that..Just how...you think this present admin can think half that way..true federalism a way forward...and if the NCC likes let it continue to strangle mtn..nonsense...

This government should rush to save our economy or what will happen next won't be funny ...

You mean after he'd given a hint on what the government should and probably will do, you're still asking "how"? then you need to check your understanding. Stop throwing words like "true federalism" that means nothing in practical terms and context.

Even if we had no issue with MTN, countries are bound to court Iran, because Iran will naturally enter and lay a stake in the Oil trade market with cheaper oil

vivalavida:
Sometimes Buhari needs to think before acting. South Africa won't fold their hands and watch u slap such a heavy fine on a company of theirs no matter the excuse.

Now,they have retaliated by hitting Nigeria below the belt

some of you just make idiotic statements in ignorance.....

1. The movement of oil prices has nothing to do with South Africa decision to quit buying from Nigeria
2. South Africa is not Nigeria's largest buyer of crude
3. We sell crude and import refined oil derivatives. That in itself is a case of self-destruct from the get-to-go.
4. Nigeria is MTN's largest pool of customers. MTN makes more than double what they make in South Africa in Nigeria. So tell me who looses
5. .....no matter the excuse you say? That in itself is a statement that needs a reassessment. So you just sit down and allow foreign companies to break the law at will and "piss" on you afterwards, and you say the government should fold it's arms? Shame
6. Even if they exploit court delays, the day the government wield the big stick, MTN's toast. We seen cases where government had sent bigger companies out of their countries.....cases of Skype, facebook in China and Korea comes to mind

MadCow1:
Ofcourse..

Iran is currently the only nation not worried by falling prices of oil because even at the current price, they are still selling at almost 100% profit

wrong, nobody sells at 100% profit

crazygod:
Are we still talking about oil in this country? like really? Don't this govt peeps read nairaland ni? There are lots of solutions to Nigeria's economic problems that have been stated on this forum. Govt should employ people that will be reading nairaland everyday if his economic team can do anything. infact, do we have an economic team in this country? i dey vez sef. I foresee lots of oil workers being laid off. Crude oil ko jawo mo.

You can't be serious......... NL that is filled with "premature" babies......

This looks like a concocted piece joor!

cutekhalifa:
omo is that porridge coco yam and beans Chai my kwontry which way forward....? Why not atleast bottle water 30cl of bottle water is sold to the consumer @ the rate of 50k so if he can arrange with bottle water producing company, they can sold it to him @ cheap rate of 30naira, therefore if u calculate 30naira X 200,000 primary school pupil is dat state, u will know that we are equal to the task, just that we are in era of kworuption and lies...

Bros,

This is why people like you and I should continue to advocate for improvement of these initiatives, with the likes of this your suggestion (unlike some people who condemn it). At the start, it probably will look rough as it is, but with time, a lot of private players will come in.

Also note that in emerging economies like us, we have the opportunity to localize our offerings, say, why can't we even start with "pure water" to reduce cost.....

Wetin dem serve these Nigerian kids biko nu After dem finish dis food, Na to sleep for class till closing time

The quantity of that eba weak me o.....

cutekhalifa:
That is kworuption 4u...


But why each time we want to describe poverty and bad side of Nigeria, we always use northerners as illustration


BUHARI why nah,

Don't mind the OP. When we have lovely pictures from the orginator, my man Ogbeni Aregbesola

Abeg pass me Italy, Greece and South Korea biko.

Guy you no see dodo for Brazil own? Na that one near Naija food pass. No go chop the one wey you go dey toilet read all Nairaland front page stories finish.

I remember my parent's driver when we were growing up, who had a policy - He doesn't eat any food he does not know the name. So whatever will make him ask "what food is this?", means he'll pass.

justi4jesu:
USA food is an Appetizer to open the stomach for Brazilian dish

The Brazilian dish is Nigerian sort of.......... no wonder we have ties with Brazil

eleojo23:
OP, the only 'food' I see there is number 1 and 2. I don't know what to call the other ones. I see grass (sorry, salad) everywhere on those dishes

The only problem with 1 and 2 is just packaging.

Chop knuckle

leewin:
all ds food oh
bt seriously wats d problem wit Africa why do we always hv to bear d ugly part
I'm sure enough money were budgeted to feed ds children
bt dy end up doing ntn

The idea from proponents of the concepts, UNICEF (i think), is to feed the children with their local delicacies, because the food will be sought from the immediate environment. The food is ok and there's nothing wrong with it to me.

DirtyGold:
Is nigeria as rich as those countries? How much is our budget again? Cut your coat according to your cloth.

Anyway, let's aspire to greatness. Rome wasn't built in a day

Bros,

Any time I travel abroad, I'm always home sick because of food. I remember in 2009, I was on a special project in UK and we were lodged in the 650 pounds per night Marriot hotels (on company's expenses........), I had to lead a subtle protest because of the "injury" the food was doing to us. Those colourful stuffs you're seeing does not necessarily translate to being palatable, especially if you were brought up on our traditional delicacies.......In my Bskull days, we were on exchange program to Barcelona. Our host had to make provision to cook rice on every mean for Nigerian students......

But much more importantly, we need to build our food into a global brand. There is nothing wrong with those Eba/Garri, except the packaging...... and i dare say the quantity

Farnsworth:
I think the presentation of the Nigerian food was bad but it will be satisfying to our kids and it is traditional Naija food too. Naija only need to improve the presentation and maybe put alot more protein in it.

Even though your submission looks contradictory, but I think I get your point. Fair as it seems, I think we should let the process evolve. What this will do is to trigger a viable Agric , Catering, Water bottling, Drinks etc. businesses. Packaging business would soon follow, imagine those oranges, water melon, pawpaw and mangoes will now be bottled and packed for the kids.

Trailblazer1:


Buhari should take note o

We want nothing less than that of USA or Spain or Korea

Anything less will be met with a violent protest

No story

Trust me, reverse is the case. If you don't serve these kids the local delicacies they are used to, they will not eat it, in fact, that will be met by a violent protest

First Aregbesola started it, and received accolades all over the world. The success of that was adopted in APC's manifesto...... now El'Rufai has joined the train. So let's start counting......Amode next.....

Good for the director. What a natural scene for "fainting". There will be no need for "Cut", he get's served a precious natural scene.

Meanwhile why him no go fall with shoes like that.......

Idiots full ground here sha

Even in Europe and America for example, you fly many domestic flights, and you have to buy what you eat or nothing for you

irunooboo: :
How do Gej and other PDP members sleep at night with all these massive looting they supervised for so long? Instead of defending the country's treasury from political wolves, Jonathan turned a blind eye to their activities while deceiving the citizens that he will fight corruption with technology as if the technology will not be operated by these same corrupt thieves flocking around him. Jonathan is worse than cancer. Wicked thief from OTUOKE. Shame on him and his followers for defending this daylight robbery of the Nigerian treasury.
Sometimes, I wish buhari can just suspend the constitution to enable him have unchecked powers to jail and execute these thieves who are screaming rule of law after commiting several crimes against humanity and looting the country blind. Democracy is indeed an enemy of our national progress and developments because its gives corrupt politicians the chance to thrive and delays their prosecution because they can buy court judgements. GEJ and his goons shall never escape karma for inflicting so much damage on our beloved country. embarassed

this guy sef. Them tell u say na GEJ tif d money? Obviously he was tricked into signing nd approving those things go bk nd read the post again nd stop hating on GEJ. Believe me when Bubu will be gone u will also hear stories that touch. Why not be a nigerian

1. Do you actually believe what you typed in bold and underlined above?
2. If you do, then you are as well disingenuous and in denial
3. Even if true he was tricked, why will a president circumvent all structures and organs of government to check the credibility of proposals before president signs. For instance what was Tompolo's antecedents in business to have warranted his companies being shortlisted for these projects
4. For me, if you argue he was tricked, it then confirms how clueless GEJ was, or better still how wicked and corrupt

mccoy47:
Whatever happened to Ayiri's case with chevron?

Or is it cause his sins has been washed away with his entrance into APC?

I'm also waiting for a day Ayiri will be x-rayed......

LordAdam:
A. Are you saying the Army under GEJ did not recapture lost territory from BH?
B. Are you saying the Army used sticks to fight the war?
C. Are you saying the Army currently is using sticks to "technically" win the war against BH?
D. Has PMB bought any weapon in 7 months of been in the government?

Guy, this one na morning. No jor let me para.

Good AM and have a nice day...

Me? I'm not saying anything.....what will I say after Alex Badeh had spoken
