Heheheheh Believe whatever you like, we that live in the north know the difference between 2014 and 2017. As evident by organised prayers and rallies to welcome PMB says it all about what people especially in the north are benefiting. You think somebody who has been an IDP for 3 years cares for a raise in dollar exchange.
Here is a bitter truth people that think like me are in the majority, and PMB will absolutely win again in 2019, and there's nothing your small population can do about it, except may be field another northerner.
Dangote carry go!
PMB carry go!
Kwankwaso carry go!
El-Rufai carry go!
*tongue out*

The economy has contracted since 2014. Not even stagnation but outright regression .

The useless Fulani herdsmen have ramped up their murderous campaign.

The northern elite are stealing food and other resources meant for people in IDP camps and no one has been held to account.

Malnutrition in the north.

All this but you are celebrating because GMB is a northerner...

How are northerners benefiting from the chaos and regression?

If you love your people so much why don't you do yourself and the entire African continent a favor and agitate for your own nation where you can mismanage yourselves as much as you like?

EazyMoh:
Oga with due respect that's just bunkum! He's a business man his obligation is ONLY to those he signed a binding contract with.
It's absolutely voluntary if he decides to intervene in any situation he deems fit. There are government agencies with people on monthly salaries whose main responsibility is to take care of situations such as Ebola break out. Even if Dangote never raised a finger it's absolutely none of his business.
Regarding PMB's government that's totally your own flawed opinion. Dangote's decline in net worth is solely due to crash of Naira primarily caused by shortage in foreign exchange which is in turn mainly caused by crash in crude oil price - NONE of these above was caused by PMB or his administration.
To people like us PMB has done well above average especially in fighting terrorism and safeguarding our commonwealth. So park well even Dangote is with PMB on this.

You really are a deluded soul if you believe that Buhari has "done well".

The economic indices say otherwise.

The state of anarchy that persists in the north says otherwise.

But you keep lying to yourself if that is what makes you happy.


P.S.
As to your point about Dangote, in light of your comment about Buhari I can understand why you would fail to see why it is important for Nigerians to harness their resources to solve Nigeria's problems and not wait on foreign intervention before resolving domestice issues. Your way of thinking is why the atmosphere in the north allowed Boko Haram to fester for so many years. It's not your business right? Until it kills your loved ones. A very disturbing, short-sighted and immature way of thinking.

Codes151:
Her graduation is so important that this people left their seat to travel to!!!? Omg!!! This country is poo!!! Misplaced priorities

What do either the Ooni or the Emir do besides take pictures and pretend to speak intelligently?

Let them both stay in the UK and let Buhari go and join them.

Useless people.

uduak2016:
I don't like and I'm not comfortable with the way Hausa-Fulani and Yorubaas take this traditional royalty. SE and SS minus Edo don't take this traditional thing serious. Why not you Hausa-Fulani and Yorubaa unite to form country with monarchy and leave us SE and SS alone. Gosh Afonjas!

Monarchy is useless.

What good has monarchy done the people of Ile-Ife who have had their businesses destroyed whilst their monarch travels the world?

What service does he provide his people? Stability? Prosperity? Anyone who has been to or seen images of Ile-Ife would be able to see that both are lacking, hence the tension between residents.

Let us get rid of these useless institutions and embrace meritocracy.

Tell the truth, anyone would be an improvement on Buhari.

He clearly isn't mentally or physically fit enough to do the job.

EazyMoh:
What are you trying to say that Dangote should campaign against PMB? And what does Dangote have to do with Ebola? Please enlighten me.

It took the intervention of Bill Gates for Dangote to get involved in the campaign to ensure that Nigeria was Ebola free. Why did it take a foreigner before you realized that you should use your wealth and influence to ensure that your home, the place where your business is based is disease free?

If you know that something is likely to ruin the business climate, whether that be Ebola or GMB would a smart person not intercede to stop said element from wreaking havoc (as has been the case with GMB)?

He may be wealthy but the fact that this is a man who refused to take the lead in the fight against ebola or take a political stand against a useless cretin such Buhari is why I don't have a particularly high opinion of this man.

If he were a visionary business leader (and not just someone who has leveraged the corrupt Nigerian political climate to his benefit) he would have realized that Buhari's tenure would be a disaster for his business and net worth and that the stigma of ebola would hamper investment into the wider west Africa region.

Send me bitcoin and I will pray for your healing.

PM for details.

Completely useless list.

Pure speculation, no data.

This is the nonsense that makes front page?

Who 'storms' a burial?

You attend a burial.

LOL China have better culture and protect their culture, Look at his wife very well if na Nigeria girl the make up alone fit send person go early grave..

Chinese women wear a lot of make up too and they like expensive crap like all women do.

Plenty gold diggers in Beijing and Shanghai, if not the country at large.

They are ALL the same.

You are the one begging 'the Lord' for forgiveness but it is me who is gullible?

Where are all those stupid xtians saying that this man was 'cursed' because he doesn't believe in their made-up god?

Smart woman.

Might be a great investment.

I think GEJ should see this.


God bless Donald Trump

God bless GEJ

God bless Chief James Onanefe Ibori.

What is wrong with you?

16.Dangote said when this project comes on line, his friend Femi Otedola will save at least N26 per litre on millions of litres of diesel and petrol which his companies import annually. This savings will be passed on to the consumers and it will take a lot of pressure off the banks

Commendable project but the companies in question will simply pocket the difference. Consumers won't feel the effect of any savings unless government or competition compels them to lower their prices.

The mythical Jesus may not have gone to school but he also did not marry, father children, drive cars, fly on planes, use the internet, listen to the radio, watch television, use penicillin, undergo cancer screening, live or work in an air-conditioned building, eat rice and stew or visit Nigeria.

If you want to compare yourself to a mythical super hero, do so in all things.

Leave this world alone and stay in your own world of mental illness and religious lies.

"General Buhari that he has remained perpetually unelectable because his record as military head of state, and afterwards, is a warning that many Nigerians have wisely heeded. His insensitivity to Nigeria’s diversity and his parochial focus are already well-known."

This is true.

HAH:
Am impressed, this is what you get from the knowledgeable person, clearly Buhari has the charisma and love of th people because of his anticorruption stand, but sadly he lacks the capacity to lead, this is a fact as evidenced by recent civil war among his kitchen cabinet members.

All the things elrufai said are true and if implemented we will get out of our doldrums but honestly Buhari cannot do it as I doubt if he even understands some of the things elrufai emphasised on . Imagine this letter was written to Buhari since September last year but 7 months after nothing has been done, this tells you Buhari lacks the intellectual capacity to take us to promise land.

Buharis anti corruption stance is very commendable but that is only one of many things needed to prosper

By the way I was a Buharist but am very disappointed. Kudos Nasir El-Rufai

What 'stance' has he taken? How can a man who failed to reveal his health status to the nation be a man of 'integrity'? How can a man who refused to proffer his educational documents prior to election claim to be a man who cares about the protocol of democracy?

How can you be anti-corruption when you claim that a man whose money is still being returned to Nigeria (almost 20 years after his death) was not corrupt?

Is his own party not full of the same thieves that he said he wanted to purge.

Did El-Rufai not unjustly enrich himself by way of corrupt practices whilst FCT minister?

Anyone suggesting that Buhari should run for re-election is operating with half a brain, at the most.

The man isn't physically well enough to complete one term, he has never had the mental acumen, has plunged the nation into its worst position in decades (the first time he was head of state) so why should he run again. Let him retire and die in Duara. He has no business being president.

This useless charlatan has blood on his hands.

At no point did he show any remorse for all those people who died in his shoddy dorm building, yet weak minded people keep flocking to his church.

So this is the 'change' that the akuya voted for?

I fail to see any difference between this APC government and the previous PDP governments that were so corrupt that Nigeria had to turn to a corpse.

masseratti:
from who?a president that was operating a call center?all his calls were celebrated and advertised,he only called.dalung on his demise of his wife.

The presidency, as in the executive, which would include the vice president.

Anyway, there are reports that claim Dalung suggested that regional interests be considered.


P.S.
Why do you think that they would reveal everything that they discuss...

[quote author=masseratti post=54646929][/quote]FIFA frowns on government interference if it is blatant. So long as no one speaks openly about it they won't know.

Beside that, has Buhari shown himself as a man who cares about democratic ideals or governmental probity?

I'm not saying that this is definitely the case, I'm only suggesting that Dalung himself may be acting on orders.

masseratti:
did he tell you that?btw the president was on his medical leave when the election issue came out so apart from mr president who is above him?btw he has no say even the President has no say on who becomes caf president,thats left for the NFF president.

The media was reporting that there was a need to maintain good relations with Cameroon.

If the presidency can keep interfering in CBN policy what makes you think that there would no interference in this issue?

masseratti:
Thank God oooo,Dalung see your life,someone should just cage that man's mouth abeg.

I don't like Dalung but was he not told by someone above him that Nigeria should vote for Hayatou?

As if Nigerians are the only ones to pour libations.

Or the originators of this act.

Sacrificing food and drink is a common/primitive practice amongst many cultures all over the world.

"Defeated", they said...

Unak78:
I think he's trying to say that there aren't 10 developed local areas or even one outside of Lagos. Debatable, however it bothers me that almost all current investment, including private investment, is directed towards Lagos when the country needs more regional economic hubs. Part of the reason that Lagos is overrun and overpopulated is this mentality. If more investment could be directed towards Aba, Port Harcourt, Kaduna, Maiduguri, Jos, Ibadan etc you would see more growth across the country and fewer people running to one single city. Some of this is out of anyone's hands since you cannot force private investors to go where they don't see a return on investment. But you can invest government funds in different regions in order to make those regions more attractive so that the private sector can finish the job. Look at what China did by with their regional economic zones. It could be said that there were only three economic hubs in that country twenty years ago and two of them weren't even technically part of China. Now Hong Kong will have to soon fight just to remain among China's top ten investment destinations. I like the project in Eko Atlantic, for example, but a similar project elsewhere would help Nigeria more.

At any rate, I'm glad that the OP is proud of his state, but how about wishing for the country's growth, the uplifting of a nation that can be an example for all of Africa. It would not only aid Nigeria, but ease the congestion in Lagos as well.

Where did you get the impression that the OP is saying that there are not 10 developed LGAs outside of Lagos when Abuja, Bonny Island, Calabar municipality and Uyo municipality are all on the list?

And for the record they are all far more habitable than anywhere in Lagos besides Lekki.

Cekpo34:
This is more of treason than corruption... How can one even conceive the betrayal of his country for a peanut? Very discomfiting

Most of the corruption in Nigeria is a form of economic treason.

This case, if true, is in the same vein.

A lot of short-sighted, immature people who cannot put their own needs behind the needs of the nation find themselves in positions of responsibility in Nigeria.

Buhari is one such person but there are many others.

It's not about 'men being men'. Most men don't rape.

We need to deal with the ones who do.

And don't be swayed by profession or status but of all the people I would expect a priest to abuse his power and we have ample evidence that the often do.
