Nigeria is worse than jungle. The useless idiot in asorock is clandestinely behind all of these.

igbodefender:
See rice sold at N12k per bag in Lagos.

Come to pH and buy it 12k per bag.

Akpuoru:
2 bags of rice were delivered to me from Abakaliki at 11K each. Husk free, stone free, fresh and purely organic. Keep wasting your money consuming poison in the name of foreign rice; like the ones I saw being off loaded from cement carrying Dangote truck last Wednesday at Mile 3 market. These are discarded grains that have stayed for months and even years in horrible unhygienic conditions before getting to our market.
Apart from the unhealthy nature of these imported rice, have you asked yourself what it cost Nigeria to import those rice you bought at one naira. You wasted your foreign exchange importing rice that we can produce here in Nigeria, thereby hurting our economy while boosting that of other countries as well as creating jobs for their citizens while ours remain unemployed.
But you know what, local rice production has skyrocketed and keeps doing so. People are making money from rice production; you can go and see what is happening in Ebonyi state. Also there has been a drastic decline in rice importation. For people like you who still prefer the imported rice, no wahala just pay whatever you're asked to pay and don't come here to claim that the price has not depreciated after all imported rice is contraband.
Nigeria's case would have been like that of Venezuela (where in the quest for popularity, their president became a father Christmas just like our Jonathan) now but thank God, the waste is being tackled as people are now looking inwards. Of course this comes with some pains but that is the sacrifice we must make for better tomorrow, something we would have done way back.
It can only get better.
God bless Nigeria.
Will upload the picture of the Rice, can't do it now

All this epistle to support local rice and current price regime? Well, if u aren't aware, local rice is between 14-15k. how is that even better considering the fact that it was way cheaper in jonathans administration?

#18, 500 a bag of rice in portharcourt currently .. Under PDP it was sold for #8000. God punish any idiot celebrating #18,500 in place of #8000 as achievement

Anney272:
Congrats. My biggest regret is not ordering from noobody. I used another instead nd he's fucking up

Well, just be patient OK

Shout out to every Xiaomite in the room... Now I'm qualified to play in the premier division with a Note 4x delivered successfully to me by the somebody who chooses to be a NOOBODY.

Great thanks a zillion times to you man.

Yyeske:
Things of more importance like using your various monikers to spam my mentions, nnoo

Is that what u normally do on nairaland?
Good enough u wanna let everybody know how you roll in here. Keep it up

Yyeske:
How was the ban? Meanwhile, how do we move Anambra forward without IPOB interference

Ban? I wasn't under a ban. I have things of importance to do with my precious time rather than waste away on nairaland just the way u do.

U don't need to move Anambra forward.. Just think about moving ur own life forward

By the way, IPOB didn't vote so they have moved forward

Yyeske:
Are you back, call for our night meeting as usual, hope you enjoyed the holiday

Hehehehe, u aren't from ozubulu today but omambala.. U know how i roll

Yyeske:
We all saw what happened yesterday and how the whole world have been praising us about our conduct yesterday, we should all raise our heads up high and feel proud of our Anambraness as Umu Omambala, we've always set the pace in Igboland, after all the threats of death on us, we still did the right thing. Many were scared but we
extended our love and encouragement and we conquered.
An election in Nigeria devoid of any ugly incidence.
We should be proud that we finally buried IPOB menace as the first son of Igboland.
Now, we have proved our worth in the scheme of things and subdued IPOB finally.
We must suggest how to keep IPOB off.
.
My suggestion is to give IPOB a long rope from now and make sure they never encroach our blessed Anambra again.
Give us your suggestions please.

U still dey claim anambra?

So shame no even they ur face u this jobless Yoruba man.

timilehin007:
Believe me when I say u so far haven't make any sense hence the reason why I never deem it fit enough take u or ur epistles to the people of nairaland serious..the only thing I discovered here is that u are just been bitter and pained...believe me I'm so much enjoying it..I now really like the mockery u are receiving from my end...if this is a kind of physical confrontation, my imagination tells me that u will literally be shedding tears...u are just spewing all sorta butcher gibberish to console and comfort urself...just so u know that I will leave u restless and ready to be ur greateast nightmare..I enjoy the way I'm making u feel so bitter ...cry cry baby...

Am right here waiting in anticipation for another page of ur epistle to the people of Haiti

U are affirmative of the fact that most people simply are frustrated and could do anything as little as regurgitating someone's post all along in a bid to remain relevant..

I'm exasperated in all honesty trying to beat common sense into a lousy r.etard like urself.

Keep living ur whole miserable life on NL and bicker about like a kid whose pack of cheese ball got lost. Idiotic frustrated imbe.cile

timilehin007:
..
U just needed to be schooled...I saw that u are just a kid hence the reason y did that disgusting thing...u are so lackadaisical and lack home training apparently ur parent are tout because u are graciously displaying ur outlawed attitudes...I still maintain my stand that u are brain dead and ur supposing brain contains kerosene...I won't stop schooling u till u are grown enough to know that u were stupid and such a ninny to have done that u did...u can bring ur shits on..I am always ready to keep schooling you

If u aren't a despicable retarded hanging on NL for survival u shudnt made it a point of duty to salivate on people's post like the mad dog you are.

I guess u never had decent upbringing to warrant ur constant nagging over a post that wouldn't add a dime to ur ramshackled life just the way ur criminal progenitors did.

If u are so dear to this forum that u would fancy building a castle on it to placate ur confused and meaningless life, I can't be blamed and it shudnt be my business.


Take a time out and fraternize with the outside world and bear in mind that nairaland wasn't ur foolish father's making u crazy lunatic running around NL for survival. Bastard

timilehin007:
U are the bastard here....I can see how much my comments are hitting u real bad hence the paranoiding..and I still really don't give a flying fvck about what u think...that space u wasted could have bn used for sensible and palatable contribution...it's not necessary u comment if u don't have anything reasonable to say u should learn to read comments from sensible people instead.. I see u are one of those children whose aim are to make front page or comment first...u really need to grow up kiddo...grow up son

If u aren't a saliva dripping bastard u shudnt have gone mad posting trash about my style of rebuttal. Stupid strabismus eyed homeless goon. Keep living ur whole but wasted life on NL.

timilehin007:
Who are you trying to impress with all these typo-gibberish.....the fact still remains that u are very silly and so childish to av quoted all the post just cuz u wanted to write a word and ur foolishness escalated to the highest order so much that it propelled you to write that same word thrice...

I'm not trying to impress a despicable twerp drooling saliva all over nl cos my life doesn't depend on it. Stinking brain dead bastard

Benz4pimp:

timilehin007:
U are a fool sincerely...if not u wouldn't quote everything...just imagine urself quote all that post because u want to write "story story story.."

If u aren't a bemused bastard suffering from cerebral palsy and Internet hangover u shudnt have bothered about my decision to quote everything along side my rebuttal.

Nigeria Is Out Of Recession And President Buhari Is Transforming The Economy

Around the middle of 2014, when the price of crude oil fell dramatically, Nigeria’s finances became challenged. This is not hard to explain: We’ve historically depended on crude oil for as much as 70 per cent of government revenues and 90 per cent of foreign exchange earnings. The outcome—pressure on government finances—was by no means unusual. A similar fate befell most oil-rich countries around the world.

Where Nigeria possibly stood out was in the fact that during the preceding three years—when oil prices were in excess of $100 per barrel—the previous administration did little in terms of saving and investing for the future. Our sovereign wealth fund—which was established in October 2012 with just US$1 billion—did not receive any further inflow during the oil price boom. Instead, billions of dollars were squandered through corrupt oil and defense contracts.

It is a terrible thing for a country to fall on hard times without a savings buffer. But there was nothing unexpected about our downturn. It was the inevitable result of the choices we made or didn’t make during the years of boom.

What is remarkable—yet not talked about as much—is the way we have worked so hard to exit the recession, reset the economy and reposition Nigeria for a brighter future for present and future generations of Nigerians. President Muhammadu Buhari and his administration are laying the foundations for the kind of economic growth that makes a real impact in the lives of citizens.

The downturn has inspired unprecedented levels of fiscal responsibility, in line with President Buhari’s determination to fight Nigeria’s endemic corruption.

Shortly after taking office, he issued a presidential order mandating the immediate implementation of the Treasury Single Account (TSA) system, consolidating thousands of government accounts scattered across banks into a unified system that is transparent and easy to centrally monitor and track. Under the old system, it was common for government accounts to be converted into personal use, but under the TSA this is impossible. Also, the proliferation of accounts encouraged several questionable practices.

Under the old system, it was common for government accounts to be converted into personal use, but under the TSA this is impossible. Also, the proliferation of accounts encouraged several questionable practices.

Budgetary reform has also taken a lot of our time and attention. We are pioneering the use of software to prepare our annual budgets, which allows greater transparency and the ability to track changes.

We have insisted on using biometric verification in the deployment of our social investment programme, which includes a job scheme for unemployed graduates; a school feeding scheme for primary school pupils; a conditional cash transfer scheme targeting a million of our poorest citizens; and a micro-credit scheme for artisans, farmers, and traders. In the past, social investment payments would have been made as cash handouts.

A similar insistence on biometric verification for the federal payroll has resulted in the detection of tens of thousands of bogus beneficiaries—or “ghost workers,” as we often refer to them in Nigeria—and savings running into billions of naira every month. The tighter rein on public finances allowed us invest $500 million in our sovereign wealth fund during a recession.

We are pursuing unprecedented cooperation with foreign governments and powers, as part of our transparency and anti-corruption drive. For the simple reason that a disproportionate amount of public funds looted in Nigeria end up in the United Arab Emirates, Nigeria has signed bilateral agreements with the UAE government on extradition, exchange of information, and repatriation of stolen public funds.

One strong demonstration of our political will has been a whistleblowing scheme we launched months ago that empowers citizens to report public corruption. The impact in terms of recoveries has exceeded our expectations: In two high-profile examples, $43 million and $9.8 million in looted cash were recovered from apartments in Lagos in the south and Kaduna in the north respectively.

A lot of the work we have done since President Buhari came to office in May 2015 has been focused on dismantling the old ways of doing things, rebuilding them, and empowering and fortifying our institutions with technology to block loopholes, discourage abuse, and prevent a relapse into the destructive ways of the past.

The new Nigeria we seek will not happen without this kind of foundational reform that imposes on us new ways of thinking and of doing things. The early results are already being seen. A concerted focus on agriculture has seen our rice imports from Thailand dropping by 90 per cent between 2015 and 2016 and being replaced by locally grown variants.

As oil has let us down, we have started to do what we should have done decades ago: Invest in agriculture and mining. Throughout the recession, agriculture recorded healthy growth. As we emerge from the recession, its impact is certain to multiply and position Nigeria for a prosperous future.

The most important elements of any reform effort tend to be the least flamboyant. We are confident that in the months and years ahead, Nigerians and the world will see the full impact of the foundational resetting that the Buhari administration has been focused on since 2015.

There is of course a lot of resistance to reform, by vested interests within and outside the system. But we are not fazed. The work of reform goes on. To borrow a phrase from the Nigerian novelist, Chinua Achebe, it is morning yet on Creation Day. Not very long from now, Nigerians and the world will look back on the recession we have just emerged from, and realize that it was the turning point in Nigeria's journey to true growth and greatness.
