So Zuma came to town because of mtn?

ProfSamurai:
We can do better. With adverts, marketing, and packaging (branding)...

U that know, do u patronize it?
Patriotism doesn't need marketing.

ProfSamurai:
My thoughts exactly!
Flood the local market first - this will knock down the price. Then export if you have satisfied local consumption.

There are local anambra and ebonyi rice in the market. But we like Thailand and Indian rice more. Just as aba made shoes sell more in Ghana than Nigeria

Akkord4gov:
I see this as mere promise,make dem feed Nigeria first na. Make dem produce rice that will make Nig to forget its importation then start to dey think of export

When last did u purchase locally produced rice with ur money?

raker300:
Just wish someone could talk to Obiano about the price hike of land in Anambra.

Ma dad bought a land in Awka last year for 7mill. Now land is going for 13mil in the same location and 17 mill in some other strategic locations

I know of supply and demand but you can't ask igbos to return home and when they start to do, we begin to hike prices

Must u buy in awka.
There are cheaper areas like nkwelle n nkpor. Ogidi and amobia.
Just like u can't compare land in Victoria island to the one in igando lagos.

Gej.
Nigeria just made u great.

This ruling will not stand on appeal. Seeing that the court had earlier on disapproved on it and cannot decide it all over again.
Anyway, the defense would like to get done with the case to determine kanu's legal position as fast as possible.

martinosi:
Keep on dreaming...Buhari children will all school abroad..while you live in your dream world lol!

It's unfortunate u don't recognize sarcasm when u see one.

anonimi:
Make me sef follow you wait for the enrollment of his kids in Nigerian universities.

Pmb is like king Nero of Rome.

Is anybody still arguing that pmb has integrity?
I thought he opposed the them move for an African coalition, now he has gone as far as the whole Muslim country. Make une think am o!

Buhari has integrity.
I know he will recall his kids from the UK or at most source £ or € from the black market. He is a humble man, and simple. He hates corruption and double standard.
I firmly believe he will.

This issue was addressed in the last confab. It's just unfortunate that each successive government always refuses to implement the policies of their predecessors.
And now the IG is back to what was done and concluded in 2014.

deyemia:
Thanks for the NECK comparison, I will use it in my next discussion with her, she just might not know!

Bro I salute ur optimism. And I will encourage u to work on her, that's the essence of courtship. By the time you wed , all these issues would have been ironed out.
Don't heed to all these guys saying u should quit. As if u can see a woman who shares all ur views before marriage.
Work on her.

initiate:
which churches are these?

Why would u want them named?
Their victory is for the whole body of Christ. I just want to show that some are hardworking.

Asking stupid question.
Instead of lending ur voice to curb this evil called child marriage, u are already calling her a lady. I now know how u view a 14years old girl.

HungerBAD:
Said it the other day.

They will be caught,and very soon too. I have repeatedly said it,God has temporarily moved his Headquarters to Nigeria to make sure Nigeria as a Nation works.


A-Goodluck Jonathan and his Army of thieves sent packing .

B-Corruption busted.

C-Boko Haram defeated.

D-All Corrupt officials in Jail and monies getting returned left and right to Nigeria.

E-Judiciary reform.

F-TSA

G-Yunusa busted in Kano.

H- Kidnappers having a hard time now.

I- Economy looking good.


God is arresting all the evils in Nigeria .

Dear God, you are forgetting one last set of people to arrest and that Is the "Wailers"

Please arrest their mouths.

N:B Even President Buhari Salary in a Year no reach 60 Million Naira, and these thieves wan collect that kind amount.

Economy looking good indeed

AtlanticBreeze:
when I was saying it here that Peter obi looted Anambra dry for 8 years, some were calling me names, today the truth is out from no other than his former party. Peter obi is very deceptive and fraudulent. Very selfish and greedy

Is the protest about "how he looted anambra state dry"?
Face the issue on ground.

sweetcocoa:
Nigga quit making up stories jor.

OK. Just remember. The day u get a corroboration, seek me out and apologize. OK?

Ijebulogic:
Oga pastor. 50% of Nigeria is Islamic. Why didn't you have your party in North East and plant seed there instead of faraway Dubai. Versace T-shirt nko? Na from your protégés too?

Thank u.
I have had cause to stay in the north west for some business concern. In fact I got angry after two weeks. I got angry at all the big churches down south who claim to be taking the gospel abroad when they haven't gotten hold of Nigeria.
As these churches that have branches in the UK, US and NK if they have a branch or even cell fellowship any place beyond abuja. But they will plant a church in dubai. All the churches in saw doing wonders in the north have my respect, they are really up against the tide, but God will strengthen them.
I nearly changed my denomination after that visit to the north. Where we sent missionaries to Ghana and London and India, while Sokoto doesn't have a viable branch.

sweetcocoa:
I'm sorry but this just doesn't add up, and the juveniles you worry about are already using the Internet, so they can pretty much get their hands on anything.

I'd really like to know how a person smokes iron sponge.

Young woman. You won't get that info from me.
Visit Sokoto or zamfara.

Eventually we have to get off the ''let us sell cash crops, minerals and tourism''model....and go into ''manufacturing, manufacturing''model.....because agriculture for example is just like oil.....we do not control the price, and the price of agric products can fluctuate even worse than oil .(Many African countries that rely on Agriculture....also rely heavily on loans and grants from the World Bank and company).

As for govt stealing.....the fact is that Nigeria,as I said earlier needs oil to be above $100 to keep the books balanced.Right now oil is at $33 and falling. And it will continue to fall because everyone and his mother is discovering oil...and because the US is now self sufficient in oil, and China's economy is slowing. (Our biggest customer now is India....a fellow developing nation).In oil dependent countries....when the price of oil falls....revenue falls....and you are left with two choices

1.Take a big fat loan from the IMF to keep doing what we have always been doing....and leave a huge debt that will come back to haunt us like Caesar's ghost.

2.Raise taxes....so that you do not have to take a loan.

And it isn't just Nigeria. Saudi Arabia is also cutting subsidies, raising VAT and also planning to raise taxes. And Saudi has $600bn in its Excess CrudeAccount. Venezuela just raised fuel prices.

The govt is not stealing now....it is raising the taxes to keep the books balanced. And with $28bn in our ECA and counting (see how low that is compared to Saudi's $600bn)....we have no choice. Unless you want us to go back in bondage to IMF and the World Bank. (Christine doesn't want us back as her houseboy again).

In short.....when oil was above $100 per barrel....we did not need to raise taxes. Now it is below $40. Where are we going to get the extra $60 per barrel? That's the problem.

Whatever shortfall in the budget shouldn't be borne by the citizens who already are burdened. If you know how tax policy works in the UK, you can pay tax without grudges cos u feel the benefit. Not so here.
And about diversification, we have all it takes to be self sufficient in all the areas I mentioned. We can do without oil.

onatisi:
how can someone be smoking iron sponge "

It was a girl that was smoking it. I don't want to describe cos of juveniles on the forum. Devil is really a pervert.

adipemcanis1:
Also....the cold reality is that we may have to go austerity mode.Our economy is dependent on oil and getting it off oil to the industrial one Mr Momodu suggests is going to take ages. In my opinion, PMB should fire excess civil servants, raise school fees, hospital fees,and end the fuel subsidy....and use the money saved to invest in vital sectors like rail and power....which would get us off oil. Yes....it is HARSH.......but oil is below $40. We need it to be at $123 just to balance the books. Sorry.....but subsides and other excesses have to go.

I saw ur post down on a quoted post and I had to locate ur original comment.
Do u know how much government is stealing from nigerians already on the banking sector alone, in charges and stamp duty? And you are advocating raised school and hospital fees?
Not to talk of The increase in prices and the high cost of living. We should use what we have in agriculture, tourism, mining, etc to wean ourselves off oil, not our hard earned money.

Misterdhee1:
Logically, no sane man should expect APC To change the Nation overnight, with their daring manifestos.. They have good wishes, but politicking won't allow most of these wishes to come to past..They just offered us a liberation form PDP's power drunk leadership.. The best thing APC could offer us, is Buhari's Presidency.. He seems to have 'what most 9ja Politicians lack' - INTEGRITY.. Let's hope this will count in the long run!

Integrity? Really,
A man who banned foreign medical trip from fx, yet he visits London and France for it.
How does he source forex for his children's school fees abroad, wouldn't a man of integrity recall them back to feel what we are feeling?
Integrity when he keeps denying all that brought him to power.
Integrity when he can't take a known side on the issue of shite Muslims and the fulani herdsmen.
Integrity when he supervised and signed a budget fraught with bogus claims and quotations.
If you haven't seen that he is not a man of integrity, then I will say u are just assuming ignorance or displaying the African type of faith.

maasoap:
It is even an insult to the youths including me who voted for Buhari to think that we voted for him just because he promised us meager monthly stipend of N5000. For how long will he even be able to pay that, 1 year or 4 years?
The truth is that 99% of people crying because of this peanut are wailers.

Your post reeks of contradiction or maybe u don't understand who are designated wailers on nairaland.
People who didn't vote for pmb (I for one) saw thru his scam. I had both disbelieved and reasoned the impossibility of that program. And am not surprised at its failure in limine.

onatisi:
I have been hearing horrible stories about how northerners are drug abusers . Someone said they sniff shoe gums and stuffs like that. Abeg pls give us first hand info

They smoked all sorts of things. If u visit the barracks, you will be surprised at the substances people are introducing into their system. Imagine smoking iron sponge and that material vulcanisers use to patch leaked tube. Horrible I will say.
Cigarette n marijuana smokers are ususally small boys of 14 and under.

kimond101:
Every prophets mentioned in the monotheistic religions used this Way of saying thanks or praying to GOD, the postures use is also beneficial when you are at a mediated state of mind (also it improves your respiratory functions which is miraculous) since this question is specific on Jesus, in Islamic context we believe he worshipped GOD in this way, as Muslim believes he was not lord himself as there is one God! However prior to Jesus many prophets before him prayed in this way. Since the modern alternatives being adapted into the Christian faith this way of praying may not have been highly interpreted or used as Islam brought the 5 times prayer system where muhammad constantly used the same posture for his prayers.

However, please see below references to illustrates the same :

These are some of the Prophets whom GOD blessed. They were chosen from among the descendants of Adam, and the descendants of those whom we carried with Noah, and the descendants of Abraham and Israel, and from among those whom we guided and selected.

"And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?" - Old Testament (Tanakh) (Ezekiel 9:

Wow. You need to learn why jesus rebuked the pharisee n the scribes. If bowing down is your focal point, you aren't less a pharisee.
We preach internal renewal not ceremonious worship.
Happy Sunday.

That what was said during eddy n'ogu time in 2002.
Even ibb could not stop his beheading. I salute the courage of then Gov. mbadinuju

When I visited one north western state in Nigeria, I came across drug abusers as it concerns this tramadol.
Some even smoke iron sponge.
I just wondered how man has abused the good nature of creation. God will help us.
Happy Sunday

Obj. Talking about efcc on ur birthday. Is that how much u hate financial corruption?

musulumi:
