and you think any nigeria air carrier would have a brand new airplane?

Timisamd:
you spoke my mind against this dude.. I wonder why some people find inductive argument arguable

Mowoe:

You shouldn't allow your political affiliation and sentiments make you irrational. Buhari is an irredeemable liar and one of the most corrupt figures you can find in world politics. Given the money he claims to have or not to have, he should ordinarily not be able to afford the luxurious lifestyle his family members lead.

Stop sounding like you have no idea how expensive it is to get an overseas education unless you actually do not know.

If Buhari means well for anyone but himself and his goons, why then is he not trying to fix our educational and health systems so those who cannot afford an overseas education or health Care can get quality education and health care here?

Imagine if it was a common man that had the health issues Buhari had that made him fly to his london hospital, what would have happened?

With all these sentiments flying around, Nigeria can never be a good enough for us to do anything except to be buried when we die eventually.

There are still part of the old testament that are still relevant for our time. There are also part of that old testament that Christ kicked against while he walked this Earth. Have you forgotten so soon how he didn't honour the Sabbath day? How can you forget so quickly, that Christ had a long conversation with a pegan at the well? He even ate with task collectors, sinners and criticized the Saducees and Pharisees?

Someone above raised a very important point about purchasing slaves and you were quick to condemn all other versions of the Bible just to sound right. Even people who are not lettered know that during Bible times up until 1833, slavery was a very big business. And we all know from history how slaves were treated. The way African slaves were treated was even mild compared to how those in Bible times treated slaves.

A real teacher of God's word will try and reason with his audience objectively and not try to defend God's word blindly. The days of people following you guys like fools is long long. If every part of the old testament must be followed then by all means buy yourself a slave, use the whip on him constantly, put him in a cage in an attempt to sell him in the market and see if you won't be set ablaze.

No wonder the international bodies didn't support atiku, they won't profit if Nigeria is doing great and atiku is economic friendly.

1. The Asaba flyover bridge is one of 3 flyover bridges in Delta state. The others are the Warri and Idu Flyover Bridges.

The most important thing is that it is either going to North East, West, Central or South West.

SouthEastFacts:
Aisha that was just confirmed as Deputy Governor by the Senate in March 2018 has been penciled down as CBN Governor.

Dr. Joseph Nnanna was confirmed on February 2015.

Mr Fola Adebisi was confirmed on October, 2018.

Well done Buhari, when a Southerner leaves a Northern replaces but when a Northerner leaves, another Northerner replaces.

First you said this:

Then this:


So, let me get this straight: blackmail no follow for illegality @the bold part abi?

9jaRealist:
Presumably you personally were “behind the scenes” at the White House...

Dude, Paul Ryan was already House Speaker before Trump’s election, and that was NOT going to change regardless of the PUBLIC spats and disagreements between Ryan and Trump. Lobbying and “taking charge” are distinct and disparate, and in the US folks understand the concept of INDEPENDENT AND CO-EQUAL arms of government. Shame that senile old men in Nigeria (and apparently their idolizers) do not. SMH

9jaRealist:
Dude, do not know you from a can of beans so will not presume to speak for your personal standards or expectations, but I would like to think that most Nigerians do not consider themselves children of a lesser God and thus are in pursuit of the ideal in all spheres of their lives. The notion of settling for less should be anathema for anyone/everyone with high expectations for themselves and their country. Even if the ideal ultimately proves unattainable, it’s pursuit should ALWAYS be our collective aspiration for as the saying goes (and I paraphrase), “when you aim for the sky, you would tend to excel even if you fall short”.



Here, you just sound confused because the ability to sell one’s program is not synonymous with UNANIMTY of opinions.

This may be even further confusing for you, but a DIVERSITY of opinions and viewpoints is actually a GOOD thing - not least because no one person has a monopoly of wisdom (not even the President, as you appear to think). In fact, the ideal process is to subject ideas and opinions to competition in a free marketplace of ideas until the ‘best’ ones win or otherwise emerge therefrom. Accordingly, quite often, the ‘best’ and most effective laws and policies are a result of compromise, resulting from the meshing of a variety of different interests.

Meanwhile, you keep harping on and idealizing about a president’s “excellent” agenda, but what if the president’s agenda is horrible (or as previously proffered, parochial, primordial, partisan or pecuniary-driven)? Should the parliament simply be compliant and roll over? The Nigerian President is NOT a Sultan, Emir, Oba, Igwe, Obong, Tor, or any other such feudal monarch. Rather, he is constitutionally RESTRAINED by a system of INDEPENDENT check and balances, which if/when eroded inflicts incalculable damage to our constitutional democracy.

9jaRealist:
Nope, not an “ideal” democracy - in ANY constitutional (checks-and-balances) democracy worthy of the name.

Even in the US (whose system our constitution was primarily modeled after), when the Republicans controlled both the White House and both chambers of Congress, President Trump never presumed to “take charge” (or to otherwise interfere with) the process of electing the Speaker of the House. In fact, if anything, Speaker Ryan quite often butted heads with the President on various issues. Of course, the President may well be ‘bothered’ about who heads the other arms of government (and not just the legislature but the judiciary as well), but that’s not what we are discussing here, so let’s discard of the semantic sophistry because the issue here is the President (and I quote Old Man Sagay) “taking charge” of the process of a constitutionally CO-EQUAL (and constitionally-mandated INDEPENDENT) arm of government electing its leadership.

It’s rather unfortunate that African countries often take on the veneer of democracy but seem reluctant to imbibe its spirit and ideals.

AreaFada2:
On $1 = 1 Naira we stand.

So Buhari didn't know the economic effect of promising the above? So anyway you twist Buhari doesn't know what he's doing. Forget the tortoise & hare story of CBN being in charge.

If our currency is truly worth anything or supported by the touted trade balance, why fix the rate? Let it trade freely to test it's mettle. That is what free market economy is about. Oh I forget, Buhari would rather run a Sharia economy.

We have a negative balance. Only that the huge amount of smuggled imported goods do not enter official records anymore.

freeze001:
How do you guarantee that there will be no bribery, threats or such other illegality? How can he put his foot down and insist on the leadership of the National Assembly without holding something over the heads of the leadership especially when the president of country like ours would prefer a dull, sleeping rubber-stamp NASS? What about the interests of the masses? Are citizens not entitled to an independent legislative arm that will properly check-mate possible excesses of the Executive?

9jaRealist:
The ideal should ALWAYS be our goal.

And just btw, the members of the NASS are there to represent US - their constituents - and not the president (or even the party). Accordingly, assuming that the president’s agenda is in the NATIONAL interest (and not merely to serve parochial, partisan, pecuniary, primordial or such other petty/narrow interests), then it should not be a problem ‘selling’ same to the NASS and the wider Nigerian constituency, rather than installing a “sleeping or lifeless” NASS leadership that would simply rubber stamp anything from Aso Rock.

9jaRealist:
Not just “separate” but CO-EQUAL...

Meanwhile, any process or entity that suffers executive interference is by definition no longer “independent”!

Gandollar:
Is what you just propounded OBJs methods as we know it?

ClassicMG:
If I'm right a trade surplus should have a positive impact on our currency, but still nothing changes why?

AreaFada2:
Voodoo economists will tell you that our weak currency has boosted export.

As if we really export things that are competitive like industrial goods.

China & others just need lots of our raw materials to satisfy their growing needs.

All the contra-ban goods coming through Benin Republic & Niger of course don't make the list of import.

Gandollar:
So we should continue in that ignominy? Is that the change APC talked about or is that the next level?

All of a sudden, OBJ has now become a role model for buhari to emulate bah?

Efewestern:
Contrary to what people think that the Urhobos have only senator in the next senate assembly, I'm pleased to inform you that the senator representing Bayelsa West Senatorial district is an Urhobo man from Ofoni, Bayelsa State.

Below are the two Urhobo Senators in the next Senate Assembly.

Lawrence Ewhrudjakpor: Lawrence Ewhrudjakpor was a former Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure in Bayelsa State, he hails from Ofoni (Ughelli-Urhie), Baylesa state. I once wrote an Article about the Urhobos in Bayelsa, (https://www.nairaland.com/2289624/meet-ofoni-people-bayelsa-only)

In 2018 he scores 247 votes against Senator Foster Ogola’s 2 votes to be the PDP candidate for Bayelsa West Senatorial District and on February 25 2019, he was declared winner by Inec defeating Mathew Karimo of APC.

Ovie Omo-agege: Ovie Omo agege needs no further introduction, he is the APC candidate representing Delta Central senatorial seat, He defeated the PDP's candidate Mrs Evelyn Oboro in the just concluded 2019 general elections.

lahizak:
Call me wailer, in fact call me any name you want but God knows I was really anticipating and hoping for Atiku/Obi victory. Not because I care for them but i sincerely believed they would have brought change to this country. As a graduate from a prestigious university with good grade and still searching for job all to no avail for a while now, I believed my support is justified. Atiku and Obi actually provide me with a glimpse of hope but as I woke up this morning, I realised that that very little glimpse of hope has been shattered by Buhari win. And I'm sure a lot of unemployed graduate out there can relate and the most painful part is that our fate was sealed by uneducated northern people paid 500 naira and aided by massive rigging. Maybe I'm a wailer or maybe I'm a realist but at this moment only God can help us now
Modified - this does not mean to say I believe there are no jobs or we wont get job under this administration, we will. I just meant that I personally sincerely believe that Atiku regime would have brought more job opportunities

iClef:
We all know the majority of Nigerians are angry with Buhari and he'll lose. Infortunately, there is something called rigging. This is to say, even if Buhari loses, the system will be manipulated and he will be declared the winner.

Sadly, he is deadly and there is nothing you can do about it. If you cough, you'll be jailed or killed.

If you ask me, Nigeria truly deserve a wicked leader. What we did to Jonathan, we'll suffer it for 8 years.

So, if you want to survive Buhari's second tenure, START AN ONLINE BUSINESS.

Why? Buhari doesn't have a strong economic team and you can take advantage of this. The Naira will be weak against the dollar. Luckily, your online business will mostly pay you in dollars. When you convert the money to Naira, it will turn to millions.

So, for those that will venture into profitable online businesses, there is nothing to worry about — only those who are unwise will suffer, not you.

Wipe your tears and don't worry, but be happy.

I'M HAPPY!

The way Amaechi folded his hands shows that he is not happy with the turn of events because he knows that win or lose, he may still go down as a result of Reno Omokri's tapes of his words against Buhari...poor boy
