I called that number and spoke at length with the woman. She was very friendly and claimed that the girl is doing fine but didn't disclose if she is married now. The thing is, this whole issue has been in existence right from time, the young lady has been hypnotized and it will be hard to bring her back to normal. For me, anybody that converts my daughter to Islam without my consent will cease to breath. Islam should always be dreaded like a leper cos it's contagious

This has always been the fact. But then, it's a past news. We should learn to deal with it.

Very funny

My grand mum did this very well. That drum is for Palm oil. Remembering the good olden days when they were little traffic on the way. The roads were safe for bicycle riders.

The problem in Nigeria is maintenance culture. I doubt the sustainability of this project cos of our lack of maintenance.

Very very bad and evil. What were his reasons to do that.

This is an intelligent write up. I kept asking myslf if it was two cars that's was involved in the he crash. Cos some newspaper said the car was a Prado but I saw a Lexus in the pic of the crash. And also how come four persons survived and three died all in one car?

Wow, that's nice to hear.

Apc and controversies are synonymous.

989900:
1. The interviewer wrongly stated Venezuela and Nigeria has having little oil reserves in comparison to Saudi; well, Nigeria maybe, but we'r still #10 with largest reserves, and Venezuela has more oil reserves than Saudi Arabia. The interviewer was wrong, and the president didn't correct her. I think the lady should have argued along 'production per day'.

2. Buhari got nailed at the school fees thing, he got that wrong: you cannot put importation of toothpicks, rice, and other nonsense in the same bracket as education (foundation, future, progress) -- we do not need further education on why, do we? And his countenance betrayed him there (when the lady asked him about funding for his kids overseas) -- he got it wrrronggggg!

3. He handled the rest pretty well (thereabout).

Mr man, did she mention oil reserves? In this scenario, you should have used your iq to know she meant foreign reserves cos oil reserves doesn't mean anything to any country now that the prices are low. Oil reserves doesn't add anything to an economy. It's just for future purposes. But foreign reserves is everything to a country's economy.

I split with Buhari

SMARTAmbassadors:
Okowa is less than a year as governor of Delta State, but has done so much with the available resources, Roads are being constructed in Agbor, yes Agbor is dirty hence the governor is clearing the heaps of refuse that littered the environment. A Taskforce is in place to check activities of residents who are in the habits of disposing refuse indiscriminately. Okowa is determined to leave a state that is better than he met in terms of road infrastructures, better environment, empowerment through job Creation, Agricultural Entrepreneurs

Pls can you name the roads that are being constructed in agbor? Don't come here and be naming roads that were constructed by NDDC. Just name one. So one year is not enough to work? Is that ur reason? Delta state has the third highest internal revenue, coming behind Lagos and Rivers state. So what are your reasons? Other state governors has been pro active. But Okowa, very slow. Slower that Buhari. Governor Okowa has one of the bloated political appointments in Nigeria. He has about 50 SAs. Yet he would pay civil servants on time claiming that there is no money, then where does he get money to be paying his appointees? Even Uduaghan that was bad is not as bad as this. Cos Uduaghan pays civil servants before 26th of every month. Well, as you said, it's still early to judge. But bear it in mind, it's remaining roughly 3yrs now and agbor or asaba has not seen any new developments. Why not beautify asaba towards the bridge head like Anambra did and evict all the Hausas that are messing up that environment. Asaba is the state capital of Delta state and should be a city to reckon with.

Mtchwww. Okowa is confused. A man with that's too slow. Agbor is very dirty and filled with bad roads. Their major road is been reconstructed for the past 10yrs.

Mugabe should give way to a younger person. I don't know why African leaders love power so much.

Aba is on flat surface so this scenario is bound to happen in some places that the drainage is blocked. The resident are supposed to be helping out by clearing this drainages cos it's where they reside too.

Nice one

That's are lies. A middle income earners like the oruru can't afford to have a house help.
It's even rare to see hausa house help, instead u see hausa security man which the oruru's family can't afford to have.

Many versions and twist to this story.

Just imagine. This is one reason am very sad about this country Nigeria. The northerners are too violent. Imagine an ordinary emir will dictate to the IGP. This is really sad.

Are you ok?
Diversifying the economy is not a month job or even 4 years job or 8.. It's a process that ought to have started 10 years ago not now..
To give very quick answer to the recent econmic war..U have got to shut down those luxury goods for now and allow forex market for raw materials needed to diversify..

Our major export is Oil.. That oil is sold in u.s.d.. once that is down. No alternative unless to sharply stop the goods putting presure on Naira otherwise it will turn Naira to Somali where you carry wheelbarrow to change dollar..

Less stop being lazy and face it at once.. I have been thinking of setting up luxury Furnitures here in Nigeria and I have even paid experts to start building the site for me and set up the workshop.. This is the time to work.

See sample of what we should be building now in Nigeria instead ofimporting them.. http://gpdluxury.com/index.php/product-category/bedroom/

I guess you are a novice in economic matters. Is Nigeria the only country whose major export is oil? Angola, Venezuela etc are in the same condition that Nigeria is finding themselves, yet they didn't fix the exchange rate or ban some items from been imported. Do u even think that is luxury items like iPhones, imported furnitures etc that is consuming major part of our reserve? It's far from it. The dollar business is been run by cabals. Cbn stopped sales of dollar cos they couldn't stop them. Now everyone is suffering it. You think experts will willingly bring their money to establish something here when there is no power supply and u can't convert your money back to dollar and take out of the country cos of the restrictions. My friend think again. Listen to the words of prof pat utomi to Buhari.

scully95:
The Oil use to sell for 110 USD.. Now 30USD.. That alone means shortage of USD for an Economy that is heavily dependent on U.S.D

Naturally if Oil still sells for 110usd. That measure won't be taken. This is putting the cart before the horse and not the other way round. WHat happened to the Oil is purely manipulation by the saudi arabia and the same west. Against major oil producing countries in which Nigeria is not an exception. If you don;t know, we have been at war with the Anglozionist empire ever since we got independance..

And Buhari has just done the right thing... Iphone 5 is not needed at this time. If U need Iphone 5. Please ask yourself have you produced anything that is being exported to buy that Iphone 5 ?? If the answer is no, the where do you expect that dollar to come from ?

Again, have you tried our own version if Ipad and Phones first ? Or even the ones made in Nigeria ? As time goes on what you will see is many of the companies will be forced to come to Nigeria and start production..

That will lead to jobs.. For now let the CBN continue to supply dollar for those raw materials we don't have to get them in and turn them to full time product..

Now that makes sense..

By the way, what do you mean by U.S.A is super country ? lol.. the terrorist Nation is what you call Super country ? . Bunch of undeducated leaders, arrogant liars you call super country ?
The Sad Reality Is That The Empire Is Run By Mediocre, Rude, silly, Uneducated .. https://www.nairaland.com/2960757/sad-reality-empire-run-mediocre

.
Who is talking about iPhone here? Is iPhone the only luxury item? How many times have u bought zinox laptop that is made in Nigeria? Are u willing to let go of that phone, laptop, modem, network connectivity that u are using now cos all of that are imported till we have our indigenous ones? Kenya get their major forex from tourism, Egypt, Mauritius etc are tourism based economy country in Africa and are doing well.
That the dullard Gej failed is never an excuse. Nigerian has many huge potential and restricting the forex is never a way out. Ordinary televisions is now super expensive. He just find a way out.

Why won't Lagos be a leader when it was a federal capital before.

Nigerian Police and gambling goes hand in hand

Keep shut if you don't understand the simple principle of economics. Buhari can decide to fix the exchange rate but that's a virtual exchange rate. The real exchange rate is closer to the black market exchange rate. And there is no country in the world that is independent. Every country must import and export. USA is the major market of China goods, yet USA is a super country. How those USA gain by their forex? It's by sales of their technologies(warfare, social media sites, Hollywood and other luxury items). Banning importation in Nigeria is like taking us to stone age cos everything including from that phone you are using to the servers nairaland is using is imported. U can't just banned items without providing alternatives. It's will require many years of planning for us to even be able to be 20% self sufficient. Buhari need to diversify the economy and let other things be our forex earner. Tourism, agriculture, nollywood, etc. Technological know how is a gradual process since our educational system is out dated.

That's politics for you. I have a picture of Ibori, Uduaghan and Okowa back in the days of Ibori administration. Now three of them have tasted power. Though one is languishing in UK prison for corruption charges.

Kudos
