"Look at his cattle farm,the cows be like something wey get AIDS."

The writer is so funny & I laughed despite the gloomy economy. Come to think of it, if Presidiot Buhari is not a dullard, his farm wont be like that. Look at Obasanjo, he may be corrupt & all but he kept updating himself & even attended NOUN university at old age, his farm is one of the biggest & most modern farms in Nigeria today. Buhari on his own never attended any refresher course not to talk of university or proffessional course, his cattle looks malnourished & unattended, he could not even cross-breed to get better species. All he knows is how to chew gworo & drink kunu just like a typical unambitous & laid-back Fulani.

iamrealdeji:
I feel the same way bro. Unfortunately,I was one of the folks that were campaigning for Buhari on line,but i'm so much disappointed now that I don't even listen to news that much anymore. Buhari is like a curse to Nigeria,he's complicating matters the more and I got to realize that Tunde Idiagbon was actually ruling Nigeria during their military regime.

True confession! Sorry Bro, we warned you but nobody listened, its quite unfortunate that we are in this sh!t together. Its too late!!!

bakynes:
People like you are just educated illiterates. Do you know what they call "Migration" in Geology. If you know, you won't be shouting like a rabid dog.You see the Oil in your land today maybe found in Kano in the next 100 years. Is it you that put the oil there? You call others lazy yet you don't work and wait for our "Oyel" money every now and then yet you abuse people who work day and night to earn a living.

You are simply ignorant! what do you mean by "migration in geology"? There is no such thing! Oil takes eons to form through sedimentation of dead animals & plants matter through compaction & lemutation in the right environment aided by temperature, humidity & some geological effects that buries them in the lithosphere! It does not take years to form, it takes eons! Stop being greedy, lazy & coveteous of another man's God given natural resources! Japan has non yet through hard work they became great! look around you & start something today!!!

tickles2luv2016:
There is no sense in what ur saying,even without oil nigeria will still be.do all countries in the world have oil? No then ow are they surviving or are they not?

What else can you export aside crude oil? Is there any other country the size of Nigeria that is mono product? Without sounding immodest, I tell you that without oil, you guys will starve to death! Even with just a reduction, the country has grounded to a halt! Do you grow enough rice, beans, ground nut etc for yourself not to talk of export. Most of the tomatoes, onions etc that your peasant farmers grow gets rotten before reaching consumers because you cant even preserve them! We spend billions importing rice, beans, leather, tomatoes, vegetable oil etc. All you know is how to marry five wives & breed destitute children like rabbits!

franconian:
No they won't. I hear they are already diversifying their economy by planting cocoa . Tell them to plant a lot of cocoa because they will need the proceeds to run the west.

No be only cocoa, even coconut. The last time I checked, Osun state, depite having "the biggest economy in sub saharan Africa" is already facing humaniterian crises never seen before since the end of the civil war! All the states in Nigeria will feel the impact though in varying degrees except probably Lagos, Anambra & Abia states but the North including Abuja & the West will go down first.

IceMan85:
u I for see evil looming in this country. Everybody will be affected, the rich the poor. If see opportunity, leave this country. A heavy storm is coming!
This country can never be one unless we change our mentality and hatred. The cloud is thick and no one knows what next.

Honestly I'm thinking in D direction with you, life is too short for one to continue enduring this hobbesian Nigerian lifestyle. The Hausa & Fulani are D reason why we keep going in circles in this country. For Gods sake, why cant we have true federalism? That we cant produce anything of worth today in this country to export is basically because we all stay idle & wait for oil revenues. What business does D man in kafanchan or sokoto have with oil when he could grow cotton, groundnut, hides & skin etc for export. I support the militants on this, they should blow up every oil installation to ground zero if D Hausa controlled senate doesnt implement true federalism. Useless Country!!!

solid3:
So in actual sense Nigerians are the one subsidizing fuel for the government now. Buhari, this is not what we voted u for o.

BTW, tot subsidy has been stopped, how then is it that they are recovering money as a result of low landing cost which suggests that the government gave the importers much more money to subsidize the importation.

And for the uptenth time, it's is unwise of the giant of Africa to have one of the best crude in the world and be unable to refine sufficient quantity for her population.

Do Nigerians even know that for every liter of refined product that ships out of Kaduna refinery, the crude was imported?

Could you please expatiate on what you mean by kaduna refinery using imported crude? what happened to our over 30 billion barrels oil reserve in the Niger delta?

tosyne2much:
You think I'm better off in the romance section?

Yeah, you do make more sense there than what I'm seeing here.

tosyne2much:
As I said earlier, I'm not a fan of politics as I know little or nothing about it


Aside that, when it comes to airing your views based on your perception about the current happenings in the country, it has nothing to do whether I was born in the 80s or 90s


To, I said Buhari is much more preferable to GEJ and I believe that we all are entitled to our own opinions or sentiments.. So it will be myopic of you to question my age based on my opinion

No pun intended buddy, but believe me, you have no business here, you are better off in the romance section.

bapullow:
Hehehe bross buhari how do u expect fix everything in year, believe me baba is million time better Jona

How time flies, if this your quote was made early last year, I bet you it would have garnered hundreds of likes! Despite being on page 1 yet not even a single like was given to it! Nigerians are finally fed up with Buhari, they embittered & frustrated but the majority of zombies are ashamed to openly accept that Buhari was a mistake foistered on us. Even on corruption, its still business as usual, Buhari still keeps his 12 jets & continues junketing across the globe & wasting the little remaining forex, I guess the much touted austerity is for the long suffering masses because the lifestyle of the average politician from Buhari down is still flamboyant. Such a pity!

Reminez:
See Nairaland ipoo touts having organism over the news that their already pledged their allegiance to the Nigerian state. So you all have been pretending all along?? Director must be really disappointed now. Igbo..es are not to be taken seriously. They shout Biafra.ud today and one Nigeria tomorrow.
It suck to be yee.boes!!!

Is it that you lack the abillity to read & comprehend or you choose to be mischievous? ACF were the ones that came to visit ohanaeze at Enugu! It shows that they are seriously rattled that the seccession struggle is still gaining momentum despite the killings & incaseration of Nnamdi Kanu! They are afraid that some Igbo elite are sponsoring the struggle but wether true or not the reality is that the struggle has taken a life of its own, there are millions within Nigeria & across the globe that are providing money & logistics support to IPOB. Ohanaeze can not even call them to order without risking mob action. They are just being political.

When did we become so mediocre & unabashed in this country? How on earth can a supposed minister of finance, the most important & most sensitive office make such infantile & inexcusable goof on live televishion? even if it was a mistake or slip of tongue as some people are saying, why didnt she correct it immediately afterwards? I have been saying it right from the word go that Kemi Adeosun is incompetent & not qualified to be the minister of finance. She could be redeployed to a less sensitive ministry like education, culture etc. Having a poor London accent is not a qualification to be a minister of finance. How can a country of 150 million people have such a mediocre managing Africa's biggest economy? No wonder everything is going down & yet there is no policy direction. Even Kemi Adeosun is as confused as every other Nigeria! Is it not obvious that this woman is totally overwhelmed? God help us!

EMMAUGOH:
I think u dont know history of this millitants...if u can recall it was only by negotiation and amnesty that was able to calm the insurgencies then... And u think their operation now in affiliation with Biafra fighters will be different ....

Some folks here are simply ignorant, how can one compare boko haram even in its gore & savagery to millitants? Boko Haram is simply a rag-tag militia while militants are by far better armed than the Nigerian army, they have access to state of the art military hardware they easily smuggle in from Eastern Europe/Russia/China. The Niger Delta is a treachrous labrynth of mangrove swamps & countless rivers which is a perfect place for hit & run guerila attacks, besides they can cripple the already battered Nigerian economy in a matter of days by hitting oil instalations, gas pipelines, refineries, kidnapping oil workers & ship hijacks etc. I'm afraid that this militants/Ipob collabo might be the begining of the end for Nigeria

Pls IPOB & militants colabo should make Abuja (the Political Capital) & Lagos (the commercial capital) the epicenters of their retaliatory onslaught. Buhari & his cabinet do not stay in the East.

irunooboo:
U people will not get any useless biafra after benefiting from Nigeria. You people owe we yorubas and hausa/fulanis apology for the nonsense kanu spewed on us.

You cant be so sure, atleast not now your country is crumbling. Many people from the East & South are not happy with the status quo!

Its really amazing how Nigerians even with empty stomach & in their frustrations keep defending those that are oppresing them! What did Fayose say that is out of order? Is it not obvious that our economy is fast collapsing before our eyes while Buhari in his laisez faire attitude is still globe-trotting & wasting our forex with no tangible benefit. Which president travels when his country is facing severe crises but yet ours spends more time outside our shores than within! Despite the unprecendented scandalous budget fraud, not even a single soul has been queried or sacked instead they evasively mentioned a phantom budget mafia as being responsible! Are we all stup!d in this country? I dont want to believe that all those supporting this evil regime are paid sychophants or zombies, where are the rational & consciencious Nigerians? Have they all been drowned in a sea of zombies? Why are they keeping quite in the face of such tyrany by the FG. We should wake up before its too late, we are drowning!!!

IyaIode:
Na lie go kill you

So this terse sentence is all you got to say on the facts I presented to you? Pls which one is a lie there? Dude, you are already dead with ignorance!

bamdexfarms:
and who will buy the products in the south east? because most Igbo don't even live there!!!!.... if you want him to invest there, then all igbos should relocate home so that there will be market for his products.

Another day dreamer on the loose. quick question, pls have you been to places like Onitsha, Aba among others in the East before? What makes you think that most Igbos dont live in the East? Is it because they are many over there in Lagos? Igbos are the largest ethnic group in Nigeria, forget about our doctored census figures that was rigged for a determined result. Surveys have shown that after Lagos, the East has the biggest purchasing power in Nigeria. It was your type that said Igbos in Lagos dont own anything tangible except 4 by 4 shops, smh.

IyaIode:
A wise ibo man put his business where market will move, you are here talking nonsense, go and ask innoson why he is not making sales in that place he put his business

I dont know why you people like fantasy instead of fact. Innoson vehicles are a very common sight in the East, they are fast taking over a huge % of the market share in East, from state governments, to churches, schools, companies & individuals are now buying Innoson more than ever before. Tommy Tommy noodles is today one of the most popular noodles in the market nationwide but the plant is at Nnewi. The Tomato products would still be popular if he had built it in his home state of Anambra. I wonder how Obiano or Anambrarians will regard such a man that was wicked enough to ignore their pleas for investors only for him to go & enrich an already industrialized state!

So much for one Nigeria. The arrogance & ethnocentrism of the wasterners will balkanize Nigeria faster than Ipob.

Bolade005:
Tell this to the gullible ones who don't understand basic grammar. I'm tired of hearing certain words from this government. Words like "we may" and "we will". I want to start hearing "we have".

We don't need to hear of plans that may not materialise, we want to start "seeing" these plans and not just hearsays.

The economy is in Comatose. Aye baba, I don't even know the right insult to hurl at you.

I wonder who they are decieving with such rhetorics. Even the official 86/per litre is not adhered to, the cheapest I have bought is 100 per litre. Why cant they enforce compliance to the 86/l they agreed rather than such evasive we will, we may, we might. Nonsense.

olusheye2:
Stop being insultive man, he must surely has his own reason to invest in Lagos, and its so obvious that Lagos is the real market place

For Gods sake everything cant be in Lagos! The city is already bursting at the seams! Besides Nigeria really not a nation, there is so much hatred & envy that it becomes suicidal building such huge industry in a place that the indigenes are no longer comfortable & even feel threatened by your large numbers. The raw materials are not in Lagos. The products are not perishable that needs to be consumed asap. The products are convenient & handy to be transported across Nigeria & beyond even if he builds it in his village! He will simply build depots in Lagos & other major cities. If Igbos are not threatened in Lagos or if other Nigerians do invest in the East then there wont be a problem or does his type want Igbo youths to keep moving out in search of jobs while our state governments cant even raise IGR.

pretydiva:
wat is dis 1 saying?

If you are such an illiterate that you cant read & comprehend simple English, Pls do me a favour, gerarahia & never mention me again!

Ramnon2:
Another foolish Igboman goes to develop and enrich SOUTH West. Don't even tell me about nearness to raw materials (Economics 101), as there are no tomato farms in Lagos. There are no motor raw material parts in Anambra/ Enugu, yet Innoson is producing from there. So there is no excuse for Umeofia.

These types of Umeofia Igbos - and there are millions of them- are doomed until they start asking why other rich private Nigerians are not investing in Igboland as they (these Igbos) do in other parts of Nigeria.

Such a stup!d man! If Innocent Chukwuma had his mentality, wont have built Innoson at Nnewi, Or Barth Nnaji wont have built geometric at Aba, or Chikason wont have built kotec battries & tommy tommy noddles at Nnewi. I have not heard or seen any factory built by either Yorubas or Hausas in the East! Tommorow They will threaten him with genocide. Imagine the employment opportunities, revenue etc he is creating there while East is looking for such investors!!

Ebukaobi:
This is an Igbo man that is thinking and not a useless IPOB youth

Rather than complain, he is looking at the bigger picture. In a few years time, when his tomato business turns into a multi billion empire, IPOB youths will start calling him efulefu

Importation is banned. Get used to it. No matter the noise you make on Twitter and facebook , Bubu won't listen to you

God bless Mazi Odinaka

The man is a pure efulefu, he is hated even by his own people due to his fuulishness & stup!dity. Respected & dignified Igbos like Innoson, Chikason, Tonimas, Ibeto etc have seen the bigger picture & are investing at home but this selfish & irresponsible man built such industry in D same place they threatened him with lagoon drowning! How many have Dangote, Otedola or other Yorubas built in the East? Imagine if he had built that at Nnewi, Onitsha Or Aba as other sensible Igbos did! Just like Zik, he choose to love his enemies while they plan to kill him! Id!otic man.

Musiwa419:
Why are the ibos the only one that always have issues with their host wherever they go? There are other tribes in Ibadan also but one wouldnt hear nonsense such as this from them. Why must it always be the ibos? Why must you fight over Kingship title in another mans Kingdom?


There is a large Lebanese and Syrian community in Ibadan. There are Hausas, Calabars, Ijaws, Idomas, Tivs, Ogonis and all other ethnic group working and residing in Ibadan, but they all respect the custom of their host onlike the ibos who would always want to upset others

You made no sense, you are simply emotional. What are the fundamental human rights? we have freedom of association. we have freedom of expression etc. If the Igbos across Nigeria decide to form association or choose the title of Eze as a form of expression for their group leader, then what law have they broken? I have heard of Sarkin Hausa as the head of Hausas outside their homeland. Does the Oyo state gov pay him? wtf

Rexology:
You are right on your projection that you will have a lot of cash in Naira should you change your dollars at the rate of #750/$, however, the value of that your seemly "a lot of cash" in naira will be TOO low. This is based on the economic principle that the value of money lies on what the money can buy at a given period and price, and NOT on the volume or amount of money.

You are not absolutely right, your theory applies to fixed income earners like civil servants & company workers whose salary remains static while inflation grows geometrically. I bet you, what he can buy when a dollar becomes 750 naira will be significantly far more than if it were to be say 280 naira! Infact due to drastically reduced purchasing power, people will be more willing to sell assets like lands, cars, houses etc to raise income while buyers wont be much which signifies low prices(supply>demand=low price). This is the best time to be abroad in a dollar/pound country!!

akinyeleaa:
This was exactly why I said Abia can't be number 1 on that same thread too that day, I also served in Abia, even in that local govt u have the Nysc camp. I served in Orji Uzor Kalu's community and I can tell you these people prefer going to farms than schools. Don't get me wrong, SE can be the best, but not Abia, maybe Anambra or Enugu

But op, ur post too harsh na

What is the name of the school & community were you served? Do you know why I cant stop laughing? Your misery is just starting because the East will continue to lead in not just education but in all the MDG's even in many years to come. No amount of propaganda can stop it rather it will even worsen your sorry state!!

Adaure4ever:
Stop this silly propaganda borne out of hatred and bitter envy!
Abia have standard and competent secondary schools that attract even students from other states.
Abia and South East leading in WAEC is not a shocker to me, Anambra Govt. Secondary Schools are arguably the best in Nigeria, I have visited some of these schools.
- Nigeria can't move forward when we still have sadist who hate good things in other people or regions.

These guys from the waste are unbelievable! Imagine the nonsense that guy wrote there. I was born & schooled in the East, did NYSC in the North & once lived in the West, sentiment aside, East some of the best structures in terms of Education. I like how they choose to live in denial instead of solving their problem or looking for solution, atleast before they wake up, we will be light years ahead! What about JAMB, unity school external exams abroad, who are those leading? jealousy kills faster than Ebola. Smh at their stupidity *spits*

Rubbish! millions of people including government agencies, individuals etc do not pay energy bills, they connive with corrupt phcn officials to evade payment by giving them bribes. They should make sure that everybody pays & they would more profit. You cant be giving epileptic power supply & still be talking about increment, are you mad?

Ausbongean:
referendum is what we need now but if it still warants war I will still fight again to liberate my children and my grandchildren than to be a slave to this nation

God bless you. Some people are so cowardly in nature that they would rather die in slavery than challenge the status quo. I would rather die fighting for my dignity & freedom than condole inhuman treatment!! If we must have Nigeria, let it be a Nigeria that is free, a Nigeria of equal right & justice, a fair nation were everyone can aspire for greatness without inhibition. Igbos would love to remain in Nigeria if they are treated right & not as second class citizens! The Igbos are way too progressive, egalitarian in nature, too many, educated & democratic in nature to be subjugated. That is why they are still agitating & challenging the status quo. I personally would want to remain in Nigeria if there is justice, fairness & hope for greaness but unfortunately some people are against it.

jahsharon:
Holy Igbos? If Igbos are holy, then I want to be unholy forever. However, I think we should share things that bring us together and not things that separate us. I think we should talk more about our happy moments together and not about our sad moments. We should talk more about the pride that Chinua Achebe, Charles Soludo, Nnamdi Azikwe, Tafawa Balewa, Obafemi Awolowo, Wole Soyinka, Ahmadu Bello, Muritala Muhammed and others brought to Nigeria and not about our collective mistakes of the past.

Stop fantasizing like a kid! Igbos more than any other tribe believe in Nigeria but not a Nigeria were some ba.st.ard parasites want to selfishly control everything, keep others down & yet contribute nothing! Take your sermon to the Hausa/fulani/kanuri axis of evil that have kept us in this sorry state. The Igbos have seen D fraud that Nigeria embodies, why is it so difficult to have true federalism? have u asked yourself? Do you think we will ever develope like this?
