Does it matter what the girl wants or not?

The girl is still a minor and fully under her dad's care. Sending the rapist to jail wouldnt feed the already hungry looking family; the man wasnt foolish, na hunger be the problem.

Abfinest007:
greed won't allow the foolish father to think

Would sending the rapist to jail reverse the damage already done to the little girl?.... Will sending the rapist to jail pay for medical bills or feed the poor father who already looks likes he's struggling to feed his family?... Besides whatever satisfaction a person may get from seeing their adversaries punished, how exactly does the culprit going to jail help that father whom you just called foolish?... Poverty is the problem here, not foolishness.

Except there was a way he (father) could obtain the settlement cash and still send the rapist to jail, there is absolutely nothing foolish about what the father did; hunger isnt foolishness and Oga simply didnt want to lose on all grounds. My only problem however is that they should have demanded much more than that amount.

See this mufu, u are even shooting urself on the foot without knowing it. Ur charts points that Nigerians GDP was over 4.0% in the 1st quarter of 2015 (in March, just before GEJ handed over 2 months later).

The writeup u uploaded also states that Nigeria's GDP percentage in 1st quarter of 2015 was over 4.0.

Reread what u uploaded

1st quarter?... Who is talking of Q1?... Did GEJ handover in March 2015?... Mumu!... I definitely knew you were going to return with some mumu abi na mufu argument. Even an infant or blind Bartimeaus would have clearly seen the downward trend which I explained, but like I said before, the hardest man to wake is the one feigning sleep, the hardest to teach is the one who is deliberately refusing to learn. I know he will still return again with another mumu argument.

Buhari needs to show some mercy on his compatriots by just resigning. With the degenerating mental state of a multitude of ipob adherents, if this continues till 2023, Nigeria may just experience something similar to a zombie apocalypse; not with zombies this time but rather with mentally deranged people invading our streets.

Mental health is a real issue in Nigeria, and it always starts as a joke. Buhari himself is tired physically and mentally, he should just resign so we can have peace and not be run over by lunatics, or even herdsmen one day.

PrecisionFx:
Afonja liar, bring proof from Nigerian newspapers that Nigerian GDP was ever 2% before GEJ handed over to bubari.

Don't ever send me any useless information from any of those idiotic blogs n websites. Show me vanguard, punch n premium times.

I see you struggling to preserve your precious ignorance. I gave you a link to the E-Library of the National Bureau of Statistics which is the official repository for such statistical data and a link from TradingEconomics which is a global unbiased repository of such info but you call them blogs and prefer me to give you Vanguard and IgbereTv news? See upside down logic.. Lol... Why didnt you ask for Ikebe Super magazine too?

Okay here's a direct link again from NBS website, and a link from you darling Vanguard; extract from the NBS report even shows the decline in GDP rate prior to handover much more clearly. I know I'm torturing you with these because your type prefers ignorance just like BokoHaram!

mushystuff:
Why didn't you answer the questions asked?

Firstly, the question you refer to wasn't directed at me, and secondly, it's my prerogative to choose what I want to answer. I didn't even read the so called question cos whilst I was breezing through the comment, I came across an erroneous assertion which caught my attention, i.e. "fear of suspicion" being the reason why GEJ didn't clear off the debt before leaving office. My comment if you read it properly was specifically to correct the flaw in that assertion.

Meanwhile I'm not here to pass political blame back and forth, elections are long over. In my comment, I blamed absolutely no one for the debt mess so leave me out of your political argument.

PrecisionFx:
""gdp growth rate which had constantly dropped from highs of between 6-7% to about 2%""

Bloody Afonja liar...

Bring proof of this

Like I said before, only a person who is either genuinely ignorant of events, or one who is aware but deliberately chooses to play dumb (for the sake of politics), would claim that all was rosy at the time of handover. Recession doesn't happen in a day, it builds up! The chart below is the trend of Nigeria's GDP growth rate in the last 5 years (2014 - 2019). Nigeria is an oil dependent country and oil price has the greatest impact on economic activity.

The chart shows how the GDP rate began dropping from mid-2014 when oil prices started dropping; as at May 2015, the rate was 2.4%. Nigeria hit recession officially in 2016 (when oil price bottomed at $28) due to a combination of bad government policies and of course, the low income from oil. But I wouldn't expect one who has access to the internet but prefers to get info only from beer parlour analysis and Radio Biafra facebook page to know any of this. Handover was at Q2 2015. I'm sure even with this info, you will still return with the very same argument.

Meanwhile, only people with poorly developed brains jump into silly tribal banters when simple issues of facts and figures that can easily be verified are discussed. I believe this doesn't describe you, so I simply crossed off the foolishness from you above comment.

phineas:
So why did he sign the agreement? Where was the money supposed to come from.

I believe the sensible thing to do was to first agree to the lower settlement, then keep negotiating forever. As far as I'm concerned, it would be stupid of Nigeria to pay that money, irrespective of the indiscretion of whoever signed the original dubious contract.

freeze001:
Beyond the questionable signing of the deal which, take it or leave it, Jonathan had no influence over, you can attest to the actions the GEJ government took when he became substantive president. He reviewed it, found it unsuitable for Nigeria and sought to revoke it. It went to arbitration, a negotiated sum of $850 million was arrived at early 2015. To avoid unnecessary suspicion that he'd diverted almost $1 billion for elections, he left it for his successor even after elections were over and he conceded. Is Jonathan also supposed to take responsibility for the failure of Buhari and crew to quickly take action on these issues? Is he the one that asked Buhari not to appoint intelligent ministers in good time since he is obviously too slow to read and decipher/interpret his handover notes? Was it Jonathan that asked him to foolishly remain silent without reaching out to the company until they had to go back and get a substantive judgment against Nigeria inclusive of accrued interest?

I shake my head and laugh whenever I see this clever by half spinned up analogy being peddled about. He didnt pay to avoid suspicion indeed!

A president who had no problem or "fear of suspicion" when pulling off hundreds of millions of dollars illegally from the CBN to execute elections, is the same president whom some persons are now claiming deliberately did not pay a legally recognised judgement debt becasue of "fear of suspicion"?

GEJ deliberately did not pay that money, but not because of the above poorly fabricated political excuse. The reason GEJ did not pay was because GEJ wasn't stupid; for a country facing an imminent forex crisis, dwindled foreign reserves, progressively dropping oil prices/income and on the brink of possible recession, only a stupid leader would dole out $850million to ship outside the shores of his country at that time for a contract not even executed.

nick50:
..which recession are u talking about??.. When Jonathan handed over power to buhari was there any recession?.. are u sure u are in this country??

PrecisionFx:
""Out of the economy of a country in recession. ""

Nigeria wasn't in recession wen buhari became president, don't even go there

Just before GEJ handed over power to PMB, does anyone need any special tonic to remember that oil price had allready dropped rapidly, and was still significantly dropping?

The nation's income had dwindled so bad that FG had to borrow to pay salaries for the first time in decades,
the foreign reserve was dropping rapidly (it had dropped by up to $10bn within 6 months to a critically low value less than $30bn), Naira value was falling rapidly too, within that same period it had dropped from N160 to N220/$.

Of course, in the last 3 quarters prior to handover, the effects of the above were already clearly evident in the gdp growth rate which had constantly dropped from highs of between 6-7% to about 2% as at the time of handover. Meanwhile all of the above happened only for a drop in oil price from ~$100 to~$60; but after handover oil price progressively dropped further to even less than $30.

Only a person who is either genuinely unaware of the above events, or who is aware but deliberately chooses to feign ignorance of the above event, would claim that all was rosy at the time of handover. Recession doesnt happen in a day; people who understood how the economy works such as NOI already warned Nigerians to tighten up their belts and brace for impact as early as in December 2014. No one needs a reminder that the primary factor (oil price) which led to the above events became even much worse after handover (continued dropping from ~$60 at handover to less than $30 a few months later)

On the above topic, at a time when a major forex crisis was imminent, it would have been very stupid of any president to pay that $850million out of the country under any guise. GEJ wasnt stupid, that's why he didnt pay that money before exiting.

Does Reno 'Wendel Simlins' Omokri have any shame?... A man whose only job is to sit behind a computer daily spinning both dangerous and benign propaganda. He thrives in his trade because there is never a shirt supply of gullible and stupid people who gleefully wait for his artistic creations.

If with all the noise Buhari made about the need to fight and punish corruption, a simple vetting process could not still eliminate dirty players like this guy, do we really still have hope in Nigeria ever being clean?

Let's assume his hands were tied in the first tenure and he had to tolerate some bad actors in his team for 'political expediency', what exactly is the excuse this time for still tolerating these rogues in a second tenure where he stands to lose nothing?

DevilhimseIf:
igbos are never tribalists check history well
They're just Republicans and won't allow one man to control them anyhow
They hate anything that will draw them backwards economically hence the hatred for Buhari

I can remember that time Buhari traveled and handed over to Osinbajo the same igbos that hates Buhari so much was the one hailing Osinbajo on his little capacity in trying to reform sars then irrespective that he is part of Buhari's government

But irrespective of Peter Obi spotless financial record which no governor in the history of Nigeria has been able to keep not talk of the good governance he delivered to Anambra state
Yet with all these the yorubas still found a way to keep smearing and tarnishing his image
That's a typical tribalism

Well igbos won't stop opposing incompetence and injustice no matter who's involved.

The fact is that Buhari is a incompetent charlatan bastard and no sensible person irrespective of tribe will support him

Politics fuels most of the tribalism we see in Nigeria today and in most cases, both are mixed. Although nepotism and tribalism is deeply ingrained in the DNA of Nigerians, in a situation where the intellects and competence of a candidate stands out very clearly, a typical southerner will go for competence over tribe. I believe if during the 2019 elections APC had chosen Adesina as Buhari's running mate, both Adesina and Buhari would have been roundly rejected by 100% of the people who approved of Adesina yesterday (you will even be shocked at the dirt which people will dig up on him). Similarly, if PDP had produced a Prof Moghalu or even Peter Obi as their presidential candidate (not just mere running mates), a majority of southerners would roundly ditch tribe and go for competence.

israelmao:
Check up the edited version before you ever sent in this reply.You should know that who gave you account of Jonathan's invitation by the G-7 is a reader and I wonder why you keep sounding like a broken flute or record about your so-called "low or dead self-esteem" that should be left for the kindergarten.We were all witnesses to Trump's statement aftermath of Buhari's last visit to him and if you are sensitive enough you ought to have known things are not the way they used to be for Nigeria on the international scene ever since.

I keep repeating and louding the same low self esteem statement like a broken record because it is a truth which I want to sink in. It's only a person with low regard for himself/herself that sees it as a measure of progress when some big slave drivers gives them an invite to a meeting; a meeting which many powerful stable economies around the globe will never even get invited to and may never even attend if invited. It is the same inferiority complex that makes people like Rochas to erect billboards when they shake Trump; or measure Nigeria's progress based on Obama visting or not visiting Nigeria.

Buhari might be a shity leader, but that has nothing to do with Nigeria being invited for G7 meeting or not. Nigeria has always been a shithole country, Nigeria didnt start becoming a shithole in 2015 when PMB became president so wake up! By the way, the same Nigeria was invited for that summit in 2015 and 2017 under the same Buhari so its rather pointless that you had to cite G7 invite or non-invite as a consequence of Buhari presidency. How many times were OBJ, Yaradua or GEJ invited in total even? Nigeria was invited in 2015 and 2017 because we had ongoing arms deals with the US which needed to be smoothed out, so the summit was used as a venue. Meanwhile countires like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Niger Republic, Chad, Guinea and Haiti were invited to the last G7 summit which Nigeria and even South Africa or Egypt were not invited for; are those nations by a measure, doing better than Nigeria?

Now you can go back a re-re-read that my first comment which you quoted. This time, read it very very slowly; read it with a clear and unbiased mindset, maybe you can even try reading it just when you wake up in the morning with a fresh head. And maybe just maybe, you will finally realise that you've been misreading my very simple comment.

You're actually the yoot with the lazy brain for not reading my comment properly before diving to include me in your list. Now go back and re-read what I wrote, try and read it slowly this time.

israelmao:
My point of reference to Nigerian current economic status and comparison with the previous status was only to make it crystal clear that Nigeria has lost her pride not only economically but in other spectra and I never mentioned the measuring standard or yardstick for invitation.The fact is,who among the superpower nations or G-7 members feels comfortable or proud to invite Buhari with all the current happenings in Nigeria ,a president who chooses court orders to obey?Why has he not got a single invitation since he assumed power?Jonathan was invited while he was in government even though his trip was short-lived due to ailment and other matters.Nigeria has completely lost her pride in the league of nations under this government it is not a matter of inferiority complex except you have lost synch or touch with the present realities.

What do you mean by saying "GEJ was invited for G7 summit and Buhari has never been invited"? Since when did invitation for G7 summit automatically become a yardstick for measuring progress?.. What kind of dead self-esteem / slave mentality logic is this?

Meanwhile your bizarre logic was even built on a ignorant/false premise because Nigeria was actually invited for G7 summit in 2015 and 2017. If you had bothered to read my last comment before rushing to reply it (typical black man trait), you should have noted where I mentioned that Nigeria was invited in 2015 and 2017. Or probably, GEJ was Nigeria's president in June 2015 and in 2017 right?

Dude doesnt want to repeat the D'Banj mistake.

israelmao:
It must be those imbeciles and sobblers who reply to comments without deep thoughts and those who dabble into discourse without applying discretion or wisdom..Even if Nigeria is not part of it, have you taken time to think deeply why Kenyan and South African presidents were invited without the one that calls herself giant of Africa. Not long ago Nigeria was rubbing shoulders with South Africa in term of economic growth and development but where is she(Nigeria) today?

Your comment above reeks of inferiority complex.... Take a good look at some of the countries invited to some recent G7 meetings...
2015 - Nigeria, Ethiopia, Senegal, Liberia, Tunisia etc.
2016 - Chad, Bangladesh, Papua New Guinea and Sri Lanka etc.
2017 - Nigeria, Kenya, Niger, Guinea and Tunisia etc
2018 - Norway, Bangladesh, Kenya, Senegal, Haiti etc.
2019 - Burkina Faso, Chile, Senegal, SA, Rwanda, Australia, Spain

Just in case you've forgotten, your country isn't an economic giant, not anywhere close. But even at that, the big boys only invite whoever it pleases them to invite to their fraternity meetings. Power, greatness or economic progress has never been the criteria used by G7 or G8 or G20 when inviting non-members to their summits. There are many economically powerful and prosperous countries around the world who weren't invited to this meeting, who never get invited, and who don't even care if such a group as the G7 even exists. Like i said before, your above comment stinks of low self esteem and inferiority complex...

KidsNEXTdoor:


There is no disagreement anywhere

APc will field Tinubu and El rufai... A Muslim Muslim ticket...

PDP like we all know has already zoned their presidency to the north ...

Maybe a Tambuwal wike... Kwankwaso who knows

When I read comments like this, it just weakens my bones. Nigeria has the likes of Prof Moghalu, Akin Adesina, prof Osinbajo, NOI, Peter Obi etc. But whenever elections are discussed, the only feasible names that keep popping up are Atiku, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal, Wike, Tinubu, El Rufai etc. Kaiii... Nigeria is just doomed for failure.

israelmao:
I am sorry to tell you that the host president is in the ongoing G-7 meeting of which Buhari was not invited.

Nigeria isn't a part of the G7, Nigeria wouldn't even be a part of the G100 if anything like that is formed today. So what exactly does it matter whether Nigeria is invited for G7 meeting or not?

The kind of comments on this forum in recent times, I wonder whether the people writing these things are just kids (or probably autistic adults)?

Idiot I didn't say generation was 9000+ . The link I showed you talked about available capacity. I said generation was 6k under Gej and I back it up with a link from premiumtimes .


GW MW ? I know you must feel like a genius to finally figure out what no one else know about GW and MW?


Anyone with a working brain can actually figure out that the writer was actually talking about MW as no country in Africa generate 9000+GW of electricity.
Like an idiot that you are, you choose to focus on the writer's mistakes because your brain could not come up with any reasonable thing to counter my claim that power was at it highest in 2015

Lol... the way you keep stubbornly repeating the same erroneous argument over and over again, one would wonder what exactly you're trying to achieve. Is it that you're just so desperate to win a nonexistent argument argument or what that you're so willing to keep disgracing yourself?

You said power supply capacity hit 9900mw and you posted a news link to support your claim. When I corrected you by saying you had made a mistake, instead of you to humbly accept your error and move on like decent humans do, you have rather spent a whole day insulting me and arguing that the author of the report you posted made a mistake.. wow! The audacity of your ignorance is thrilling!

Once more, let me be gracious again to draw to your attention that the writer was referring to GWh, not GW nor MW; the author of the report did not make any mistake when he said GWh.... Gigawatt-Hour isnt the same thing as Gigawatts and neither was the writer referring to MW as you claim...

niaralandtopuser:
You stupidly keep repeating the same statement that power has not improved since 1999.
Maybe you need to learn more before throwing about insult. I didn't know people could be this. Stupid
https://africacheck.org/reports/nigeria-does-generate-more-electricity-now-than-it-did-15-years-ago/

In 1999, power generation fluctuated between 2000 to 4000mw. In 2019, actual power still fluctuates between averaged of 2000 and 4000mw regardless of all the extra power stations and infrastructural improvements to the system. You have evidence in the report on this thread which just stated that power dropped to less than 3000mw today in 2019, despite all the so called improvements.

It doesn't take more than the common sense of even a child to understand the meaning of my statement that despite all the so called improvement works to infrastructure, Nigeria's power generation hasnt really improved since 1999.

niaralandtopuser:
you must an idiot. who said I don't know what GW and MW mean? you stupidly ignored where the writer said power was at it highest in 2015 to focus on the GW and the MW.
we are actually arguing whether power was at it
highest in 2015 and all you could focus on is the GW and MW

You claimed power generation hit a peak of over 6000mw under GEJ and I spent an entire day trying to explain to you that there's a difference between generating capscity and actual generation.
After all my attempts at trying to educate you on the difference, the best response your brain could churn out was that the actual generation under GEJ actually hit over 9000mw. And then when I gracefully gave you the benefit of a doubt assuming you just made a typo. But you returned to amplify your ignorance by posting a weblink which stated 9000GW-h. Once again I accommodated your petty ignorance by explaining to you that there's a difference between GW-h and MW or GW, what a sensible human would have simply done was to acknowledge your error and either shut the f up or just thank me, you still returned with insults amidst your compulsive ignorance. You are indeed a pathetically helpless case.

[s]obailala here is the electricity that you claim buhari improved[/s]

Oga when I said something was probably wrong with your brain yesterday, I felt bad thinking I was being unnecessarily harsh on someone who was either just carried away or probably just drunk from the weekend. But now, its a Monday morning, and you're still exhibiting the same delusional symptoms. So I was probably right about you all along.

I repeated it at least 10 times yesterday that power has never improved in Nigeria since 1999 till date, and that average generation has always fluctuated between 2000 and 4000mw; I kept louding the same message in your head just to point out to you that the 6000mw or sorry, 9000mw which you kept claiming that GEJ gave Nigerian was an ignorant beer parlour gist. But somehow, it seemed I overestimated your sanity. Even a stark lunatic who know how to read and write would have picked up my message after I had to repeat the same thing over and over. But here I wake up to this sort of foolish comment from you?

Kindly redeem your sanity by pointing out a single sentence where Obailala ever mentioned or implied the nonsense you just wrote up there (i.e. power improving under anybody). We truly meet all sorts of imbalanced humans online. Please if you cannot read, or if you suffer any kind of illness that disorients your brain
and prevents you from understanding English, kindly tell us in advance so we know and avoid you. Have a nice day, bye!

niaralandtopuser:
it was still clear that we had the highest in 2015 but you choose to focus on the writer mistakes. it only takes a few seconds to figure out that the writer was talking about MW. even South Africa don't generate 9000+GW of electricity

You're truly a sorry case. So after I told you there's a difference between GW-h and MW or GW, you still couldnt comprehend that but have come back to call it writer mistake?...

Oboy who do you this thing?.... Your village people must be very wicked... I remember you asked me yestrday to use google, but are you so illiterate that you cannot use that same google to quickly check the difference between GW-h and GW or MW but instead you keep coming back online to disgrace your education? Pardon my harsh words but this you compulsive learning disorder has now got me pissed.

CeterisXVII:
Oga, the problem is that IKEDC will deprive another community of power supply, (irrespective of whether such residents have paid in full or not, or whether they have pre-paid metres or not) in order to ensure that the Magodo estate that has paid a premium for electricity supply, gets power.

IKEDC is not increasing the amount of power it distributes, it is just rationing and rerouting it.

Eko Disco pulled this same scam with Mayfair Estate residents in Lekki at one time. They promised them a "priority or dedicated line," provided they were willing to agree to a new tariff that was much higher than the approved one. The estate association agreed.

Power supply was constant for a few months. There was even one large transformer/mini sub station close to the estate, which had been installed by the old NEPA office in that district. It made everyone happy.

A few months down the road, erratic power supply resurrected it's ugly face. Power cuts became common. When the residents complained, Eko Disco or EKEDC said they were working on it. That was when the estate discovered they had been scammed. The tariff was not reviewed downwards, neither were the residents given any relief. Na who come be mumu?

I give Magodo and IKEDC another couple of months, before this scheme unravels. Let Magodo residents come back here in another 9 months to share their experience. You will see the kind of lamentations that will be dropping from their mouths.....

Lol.. the typical scam never ends.
