I can bet with my breakfast that same man will still protest for the useless governor if the FG challenge him of not paying salaries after receiving many funds from them. I think the immunity clause should be scrapped away for our governors to get at work. How could a governor be so heartless after receiving bail out funds and also Paris funds. Majority of our governors need to be drag out of office.

What a load of garbled nonsense.
You know, if you were a bit more coherent and honest , we could actually have a sincere discussion or debate about these issues.
For example, GEJ built rehabilitated roads. He built 12 new federal universities, the majority in the educationally disadvantaged North. He invested in rail transportation, electricity generation, etc.
He increased expenditures in education, health services, Agriculture, security and defense. He created a better climate for foreign investments, and they came. In case they didn't teach you in school, expanded economic activity translates to more mire employment, opportunities and wealth for individuals in the economy. That is how wealth and social mobility spreads. It doesn't mean that EVERYONE will be better off, but that the opportunities to move up in the economic ladder are more within reach of more people. That is how you measure good economic management and governance.

LAWD have mercy

And still have the temerity to post this to further disgrace yourself.

Well,you know, come to think about it, if a person scores 12 or 18 in jamb , and has no shame about it, and therefore no incentive to do better, I should not ever expect that person's IQ or learning curve go up in adulthood.

My pleasure to educate you, if only you can be grateful.

If you had taken a simple lesson in secondary school economics, you would have known that the there is no such thing , no homogeneous group known as ordinary Nigerians when measuring economic progress.
But there is a homogeneous group called the middle class.
The middle class,being the intermediary class between the rich and the poor, are the most watched class and measured class for economic and social mobility.
When the middle class grows or expands, that signals economic progress( 2010-2015).
When the middle class shrinks or is decimated by the unexpected moronic and suicidal economic policies of incompetent buffoons in governance(2015 - present) , then obviously, economic and social stagnation is noted.

Therefore, the average Nigerian that you speak of is either a poor person struggling , with the dream of joining the middle class, or a former middle class person , cast out like a fallen angel back into the dungeon of the poor, thanks to putting the serious and critical job of governance to the products of a quota system.

In those 5 yrs the Nigerian middle class, perhaps most authentic and reliable metric for economic progress, expanded for the first time in almost 4 decades.
Of course for an almajiri whose brain is wired to seeking one meal a day, I am not surprised that you only noticed the lower price of rice, a monumental achievement at that, too.

Oh gosh!!

Here we go again with these '12 and 18' scorers publicly waxing stuuupid

https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/depleted
An adjective describing something that has been USED UP.

https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/deplete

Origin
Early 19th century (earlier ( mid. 17th century) as depletion): from Latin deplet- ‘emptied out’, from the verb deplere, from de- (expressing reversal) + plere ‘fill’ (from plenus ‘full’).


Perhaps it's time for you to shut up and stop showcasing the wonders( ) of the educational quota system.

plaetton:
My dear friend, I going to be gentle with you by suggesting that you take time and objectively look at issues, without the propaganda components.

Pls examine your post objectively.
High revenues in the federal coffers also meant high revenues for all three-tiers of government. Not so ?
High revenue in federal coffers also meant higher expenditures in education, agriculture, security and defense. Not so ?

Is the purpose of government to do piggy bank for the citizens or provision of social and economic investments and value to the citizens ?

Now, you mentioned depleted foreign reserves ? Where did you get this nonsense from ?
When does $30b in foreign reserves = depleted ?
How much foreign reserves did OBJ inherit in 1999?

Do you remember that GEJ proposed a sovereign wealth fund to save the excess reserves ? o you know who opposed him and sued his government to stop it ? The opposition, led by Tinubu , Mohammed, etc and governors, who wanted to spend whatever was available in the federal coffers.

So, please, my good friend, desist from peddling such lies and useless propaganda.

plaetton:
Good point.
You know, the British, our former colonial masters, actually have manual on how to destroy and or permanently keep a nation or a people going round in circles. It is quite simple. Create a system that ensures that the most sensitive and critical tasks or positions are given to the laziest or least qualified.
Go back to the history of Nigeria , and this MADE-IN-BRITAIN template for national failure is what you will find.
Again, go back to Nigerian history and see that the only times when qualified people occupied critical positions in governance are the only few times Nigeria has seen positive changes and progress.
So, yes, once gain, illiterates are in sensitive positions in governance, and once again, we are paying very hefty prices for it, and will do so for a very long time.

Read it again.
I have the exclusive latitude structure my words and sentences, as long as they are grammatically correct, in any manner, putting emphasis wherever I want to, to achieve both my visual and subliminal goals.
That, of course, is something that I do not expect the '18 and 12' scorers in a quota educational system to understand.
That is why I advised vedaxcool earlier on to keep very quite when a '65 or 66' scorer speaks.



Well, in this very case, the hosts and parasites are very clear.

Peter Okoye and the rest of Nigeria's music and entertainment industry, for example, are creators, creators of value , wealth , foreign exchange and exporters culture and name recognition(priceless by every standards).
These people understand the nuances of their industry, and they respond accordingly to the demand and supply dynamics of their marketplace.
Now, you have Alhaji Lai Mohammed, a politician, a man no creative ability or imagination, a minister by the grace of Buhari's nepotism, the equivalent of a tapeworm in the underbelly of the Nigerian political and economic life, trying to dictate, by imperial hubris, how an industry show run their business, ignoring how demand and supply dictate the marketplace.
Lai Mohammed is symptomatic of how tapeworms behave: Hubris

plaetton:
Unbelievable

Does P,-Square generate Fx?
What level of illiteracy is this?

Can everyone reading from this slowpoke see the proof, the pitfalls and evils of the quota system?

This slowpoke, like his mentors, Lai Mohammed and co, doesn't understand the ABC of the mechanics of showbiz and entertainment.

YES ,slowpoke, P-Square generates millions of dollars per year, more FX than local currency in his enterprises.
Again , only a system that produces lazy parasites, tapeworms and feudal rentiers would produce a Vedaxcool, an ignorant fishbrain, who doesn't understand that entertainers earn foreign exchange when they tour or perform abroad.

FG has no right to ban it. This is a democracy not military era. I can shoot my music videos and conduct my personal business with my own money anywhere in the world I like. When FG invests in the industry they can give orders on where to shoot videos. The music videos producers like Clarence Peters should sue and take this case up to the Supreme Court. FG has no right to do this.

Aint u funny? I did not ask u if dollar will be exchanged,


What I asked is how long? With a question mark, it was a question.

If I had answered me that it will continue till the end of time, wether u are right or wrong, I wouldn't be Doing this with u.

I asked how long? And u went ahead to say dollar must be exchanged . Who doesn't know it will be exchanged?

My question still remains "HOW LONG" ?
