Born To Rule


Now they want to impose Hausa language on us

Oga, go and get a refund from the educational institutions you attended. Better yet, find someone to help you read the posts on this thread so that you will comprehend the posts.

This Apostle cannot be trusted as a true 'believer'.

Imaging being named Apostle Suleiman; a real Apostle would have changed his name to Apostle Solomon Johnson. mumu

from your comment, it is now confirmed that the idea of buhari's presidency is to return power to the north, to subjugate and trample on other tribes in Nigeria and to reborn the "born to rule" motive of the hausa/fulani north.

An igbo should be fluent in hausa and a yoruba should be fluent in hausa. What of a hausa person? He doesnt need to learn any other language since he is already fluent in hausa, right?

I've always known that buhari can never be the right president for nigeria and your comment just confirmed it. Buhari can of course be a good President of the North, but he can't be a good President of Nigeria.

Since the intention of the hausa/fulani is to suppress other Nigerian tribes with buhari's presidency, The True God of Heaven will never give buhari victory at the poll.

Haba!! You should have been able to deduce by simple induction that, under the scheme described, the Hausa graduates would be required to be fluent in the other 2.

Your definition of sarcasms is skewed. This again is an attempt to buffer your weakness. #work on it.

Please get lost.

Wow, good to know that the hausa language could av been our lingua fanca.

Hausa and 1 or more other Nigerian languages should be mandatory in all secondary schools, and made required electives in every institution of higher learning such as Universities and Polys. At a minimum, no one should be granted a certificate from our educational institutions if they are not fluent in a language other than their first one.

So if you are Igbo, you must be fluent in Hausa and Yoruba; if you are Yoruba, you must be fluent in Hausa and Igbo, else you will not be allowed to graduate.

With Buhari's blessing, we will codify this thought into law once Otueke welcomes the clueless one back home.

Billyonaire:
I have no issues with tolerance, I can only advise you to work on your weaknesses.

Advise well taken. I have to admit that I thought your skin was thicker and you could detect sarcasms with ease. I guess I was wrong.

mekaboy:
We as Nigerians can hardly understand buharis english. I wonder how he will speak in international gatherings as president. He must need an interpreter.

If it will appease people like you, he can give his speeches at the UN in Hausa, which really could have been be our lingua franca, just like the Chinese head of state and France's head of states do, and use an interpreter. Afterall, we are not Englishmen

Billyonaire:
Indeed, I never knew nduchucks to be saucy. I guess anyone can get unreasonably emotional.

lol, it appears that I touched a raw nerve. ngwanu no vex.

redcliff:
Actually thats how its supposed to be... even in advamced countries holidays are given in excess of a month

Wow! I didn't know this. Do they give up to 1 month's holidays during this period in the UK and USA as well?

Billyonaire:
Buhari didnt win APC primaries because of his appeal, Buhari won the Primaries because Tinubu doesnt want someone that is financially capable of decimating his powers within the Angry People's Congress, so all delegates were 'persuaded' to vote Buhari. When it comes to APC against PDP, the dynamics are different. This has nothing to do with controlled and microcosmic delegates, we are talking about a populace that desires rice, salts, and even the cash money that flows on election days in Nigeria. With the massive donations we generated, every voter in Nigeria can be made an offer he/she can not refuse.

The election has been won by Jonathan already, Feb 14 will be just another day of confirmation that Nigerians are tired of old wine in a new bottle.

Thanks for giving us the inside information since it is well known that you were present during the negotiations and when Tinubu made the decisions you itemized.

I understand that many of the suppporters of the clueless one, also exhibit his other traits including being delusional.

Banjo in Yoruba means "it fits" or 'fits me"

Thus names like Adebanjo = "crown fits me" or "I am fit for the crown" meaning 'i'm fit for wealth' fits me

Olabanjo = "I'm fit for wealth"

Osi = left; Osibanjo = "left fits me" I'm told that the father of people named thus are left handed.

Note that PDP goons would rather use the other meaning of Osi - poverty, in the definition, but we all know that no parent would name his child that way.

SAI BUHARI

As Atiku learnt, his money could not defeat Buhari at the primaries because Buhari's appeal is too broad for that. PDP will similarly learn that their attempt to buy their way back to Aso Rock is dead on arrival.

NIGERIANS WANT CHANGE AND WILL GET CHANGE IN 7 WEEKS.

This is a great thread. This list should be posted all over the internet and on billboards all over Nigeria. We'll look into posting this in full page Ads in newspapers across the country.

If they chicken out, we'll buy Ads right here on NL.

tit:
why dont they just stay at home all year long.
do they do any work at all?
Okorocha should go the whole hog and let them stay at home.
Okorocha only needs mail carriers to deliver their pay checks at their houses.

Very funny.

You know very well that they work, though we have a nation-wide problem of efficiency.

tit sounds like an extremist, and I am beginning to suspect her as an Operative of the clueness one.

If you are a Nigerian, you'd know that nothing happens in most government offices, particularly in the southern part of Nigeria, during this festive period. Instead of being hypocritical, Okorocha is bold enough to respond in a positive manner.

Kudos to Okorocha.

P.S. The situation is not ideal, but this is what obtains in our great country.....government offices which open during this period will simply waste money on utility bills......supervisors will be nowhere to be found.....truth be told.

Funny question OP.

As I understand it, every human being who is a xtian sins on a daily basis and he/she is renewed in preparation for heaven by daily prayers of forgiveness.

Xtian Lawyers are not any more sinful than than others and as long as they make their daily 'confession' and prayers for forgiveness, they should be OK.

Now, from the point of view of other religions, if they do not belong, lawyer or not, they are hell bound.

maybe that is why he like his Fulani brothers, so if he is not driving them, he may be servicing them.

ogbeni $70 billion is not enough to support the Naira. While you are pondering this,

Oga, this is a very easy question to answer. The external reserve has been used to support the naira by the last 3 CBN Governors successfully with the reserve being generally between $40 - $45 billion. I think you completely missed the point I was making.

ducii:
Why was the Naira devalued in 2011?

The Issue is when you defend a currency and it keeps falling then you will know that strategy is not working, then your next option is to devalue the currency and raise rates

The above is a red herring.

My point all along is that if we have had just $45 billion in the reserves, we would have been able to absorb a $3billion drop in the reserve balance without devaluing our currency. If the missing funds had been available, we wouldn't have needed to devalue a few weeks ago. Why is this difficult for you to accept?

ducii:
Ok you are getting it wrong, A countries reserves comes from a lot of places, when foreign investors come into your country the money they come with goes to your foreign reserves, Nigeria's reserves is I think constitutes 20% contributed by Foreign investment and around 80% by the Nigerian government. South Africa's is a bit higher 30% Foreign and 70% Local

What you are talking about is the Excess Crude Account (ECA) where proceeds from the sale of above our benchmark is supposed to be saved. So for instance our bench mark has been set at $65, so anytime oil goes above $65, the excess is suppose to go to our ECA.
As at today Nigeria has about $6billion in the ECA

The Nigeria also has $1.5billion Sovereign wealth fund, that is supposed to take care of the gap in infrastructural development.

I am not talking about the Excess Crude Account (ECA). I am talking about the External reserves of Nigeria which stood at over $40billion for that past decade! NNPC is a major contributor to the reserves. The said reserve is used to back the Naira by the central bank as it sees fit.

The reason why the central bank devalued the naira is because the Extrenal reserves of the country was dwindling and reduced to under $38 billion within a short time period.

Please read about the sources of our External Reserves here and note that the a significant portion of the missing NNPC funds, if available, would have gone to increase the said external reserve. I'm not sure you understand how the central bank uses our External Reserves to back the naira. The Excess Cruse Account is not primarily used for that purpose.

[quote author=Central Bank of Nigeria]To Safeguard the Value of the Domestic Currency Foreign reserves are held as formal backing for the domestic currency. This use of reserves was at its height under the gold standard, and survived after the Second World War under the Breton woods system. After the Breton Woods system, the use of foreign exchange reserves to back and provide confidence in domestic currency replaced the gold.[/quote]

ducii:
Second of all I am saying that even if we had the $10 or $20billion, that it wouldn't have be put in our reserves, it would have been used for capital expenditure.

Are you making assumptions here? If not please provide verifiable points to support this statement i. e. why wouldn't some if not all of the proceeds form NNPC activities go into the reserves?

Before you answer my question, I hope you are aware that Nigeria’s external reserves derive mainly from the proceeds of crude oil production and sales. One of the categories of revenue from crude oil production and sales is Direct Sales (i.e. by NNPC).

ducii:
No qualms we agree to disagree

Before I agree to disagree with you, lets be clear on what the disagreement is all about.

Do you disagree that if our reserves had been butressed by the $10.8 to $20billion which the NNPC did not remit to the Central bank, it wouldn't have been necessary to devalue the naira?

All I was stating was that our reserves could have increased to at least $50billion if those funds had not been stolen. That would have been enough to keep supporting the naira, at least until, we find our way out of the current predicament.

ducii:
Take a look at the M.I.N.T countries, and see how their currency is faring.

To be frank with you, I don't give rat's asse about how the currency of the M.I.N.T countries is faring. What is glaring is that, the Naira could have survived this period of falling oil prices, if the clueless one and his thieving apostles were not at the helms of power.

I'm afraid your excuse itself is inexcusable.

ducii:
Don't make it a Jonathan thing. it is a problem with most emerging economies. Nigeria has even done a better job in managing our currency.

If you look at some country's currency you will marvel

Nonesense!!!!

The Central bank has been supporting the naira with N40 - N45billion in reserves, for the past 15 or so years. The naira was devaluated because the reserves fell to N35 - N38billion.

If the clueless one had not Presided over a thieving administration including his NNPC stooges who still cannot find $10.8billion if we are to believe Iweala instead of Sanusi's $20billion, we would have had well over $70billion in reserves - enough to support the naira and help position us for greatness.

Feb. 2015 cannot arrive too soon.

mikeansy:
Jonathan has maximum of 4years and its free for all

Buhari could have 8years

This fact will not be lost on all PDP Governors

I think there is a typo in your statement above. Jonathan does not have 4years, I'm sure you meant to type 4 fortnights. I'm sure you know that 4 fortnights will take us to February 2015. dalu nu.

GEJ is a goner. It is impossible for millions of Redeemers to vote for GEJ instead of voting for a ticket which includes their very own Pastor.

Many NNPC executives are already making plans to go on exile as we speak.

@OP, nduchucks endorses this message.

No one has ever governed Oyo for 2 consecutive terms. However, with Adedibu gone, all bets are off.

pendusky:
okay! so what up whose in the middle?

I believe that is Major-General David Ejoor . He was once governor of the Mid-Western Region. He was the governor of the Mid-Western State of Nigeria, during the Biafra Civil War. He then served as Chief of Army Staff from January 1971 to July 1975.

Ejoor is known to have escaped Biafran troops by riding his bicycle from Benin to Ebor-Orogun, and eventual appearing in Lagos.

The question asked by that character shows sever ignorance.

They are capturing our territories with impunity and continue to capture our women and children while our armed forces seem impotent and powerless.

We need to hit BH very hard, bomb Chad and anywhere they are using as a base. This is unacceptable, the Chibok girls are still missing. What Nonsense!!!
