Zombies (Obailala, GavelSlam & Co) were made to believe that Nigeria was outta recession!

Zombies were also made to believe THAT PDP plunged the economy into recession!

Zombies are programmed to believe whatever is been presented before them!

Your Pa!...

Go ye into your mud and wail alone!

Bravo123:
Governor Kashim Shettima of Bornu state on Thursday stirred controversy when he described the recent clamour for restructuring of the country as a “madness” that can be cured by good governance.

Many Nigerians have demanded, following heightening tensions between ethnic nationalities restructuring of the country of the country as a way of resolving many of the numerous challenges facing the country.

But in dismissing such fears, the governor said, ‘Restructuring my foot! To hell with restructuring’.
“Let us improve on governance, let us work for the people, invest in education, create jobs for our people, this madness will stop.”

Nothing else was expected of a lazy governor of a parasitic state which is one of the largest beneficiaries of the current feeding-bottle system.

Buhari, Adeosun and other Harvard voodoo/recession economists budgeted on 2.3MBPD

The budget was prepared BEFORE this OPEC decision.

Chukazu:
It was not a mistake...but it was certainly a joke!

Professor Ayade I heard, is a professor in biology and chemistry. So I guess he knows exactly what he's talking of when he says kinematic crystallization

When I saw 1.3Trillion, I first thought it was a mistake, not until I saw the title of the budget - Kinetic Crystallization!

But the woman could be right though.

I've seen someone who had been diagnosed with brain cancer get healed. When he went back to the hospital for checkup, the doctors were astonished. A lot of things happen in this world which seems impossible to human brain but possible to God.

I believe in God but I don't believe in Religion.

The point isnt whether miracles are real or not, the point is how deeply hypnotized and brainwashed the girl who was spreading the testimony is. Imagine the kind of unprintable words a so called 'believer' used on the other lady all because the other lady doubted her pastor's miracle?... Such a lady first and foremost isn't a christian, she's just a gullible follower of a pastor. Secondly, a lady of such disposition could actually physically attack the other lady if she was nearby.

Sadly these sort of followers are very numerous in Nigeria today, just visit the facebook page of big pastors or ministries and see the sort of words the followers use on people who criticise their spiritual leaders.

Shouting or whispering, God hears it all. But then, even when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he did so with a very loud call (John 11:43).

I concur with Eldee 100% ... Slavery isnt only when a different race exploits black men.

When the black man exploits his fellow black man, thats also pure slavery; and many of us are either guilty as charged, or have been involved in environments where such domestic slavery is practiced.

Compare the arm sizes of both pics and tell me you don't see a huge difference.

What i am trying to wrap my head around though, is who did the photoshop and what they stand to gain

Chaii!... It's always very amusing when people claiming to be smart end up ridiculing their touted intelligence in public. Since some people learnt the word 'photoshop', everything to them (including the head on their shoulders ) must be photoshop; even chidinma of the cucumber fame claimed her VIDEO was photoshopped.

@Op or whoever it is that did this funny analysis, are you aware the screec shot came from a video?.. And being a video, 2 different people could take a screen grab at 2 different instances?

Imbecilic political losers like FFK always feel a compulsion to turn every issue to politics; specifically tribal and religious politics.

How I wish PDP would make FFK their campaign manager again in 2019.

$900million! Is that even possible? IF true, them Dickson must be dancing 'one-corner' at the moment.

nnokwa042:
Igbo people never say anything u don dey defend buhari like they say guilty conscience fears no accusation ,so northerners who re using quota system are more educated than the Igbo's?

But shebi u know say that guy no mention any tribe?...
U guys are both the same, na guilt conscience dey worry una two.

Paulosky1900:
but not only to pastors...if you help the needy,orphans,prisoners and the widows....by doing so u are paying ur tithe to GOD also.

Na lie oo... according to Nigeria's 'superior' form of Christianity, you give to God only when you give to God's annointed servants (irrespective of how wealthy the person is).

Adekdammy:
There is not wrong in selling some assets lile the national theatre , in the hands of a good investor, the pride of national theatre would be restored and perhaps compete with muson centre but my challenge with this government is that they can't be trusted, why tell us budget will be financed with recovered loots and turn around to tell us you need to sell assets and borrow, it's either this govt acts before they think or the government is just too big for them to handle.

Sometimes one wonders whether people just intentionally put logic and objectivity aside when it comes to making meaningful criticism of govt activities. Several people keep shouting 'recovered funds! recovered funds' but the first real question a smart person should ask is, "How much has really been recovered and what percentage of the budget deficit can it cover?"

Here's a link by the other dude above who's shouting 'recovered funds'
http://punchng.com/fg-finance-2017-proposed-budget-n250bn-recovered-loots/

Now that link stated that the fg planned to fund the 2017 budget with n258bn, out of which only N72bn had already been recovered as at the time the statement was made (Dec 2016). So the question is, how exactly is N72bn or even n258bn supposed to finance a budget of over n6trillion and do you still think your argument on 'recovered funds' still makes sense?

Firefire:
Fellow Nigerians,

This current administration told Nigerians that 2017 budget will be funded with the 'recovered loots'

Premium Times - "We will use ‘recovered loots’ to finance 2017 budget – Buhari" https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/245675-will-use-recovered-loots-finance-2017-budget-buhari.html

Punch - "FG to fund 2017 budget with N258bn recovered loots" http://punchng.com/fg-finance-2017-proposed-budget-n250bn-recovered-loots/

Now the same known professional liars and career rogues now planning to auction our common wealth to fund same budget, while re-looting the covered loots.

This is apart from the various foreign loans for same budget funding, mind you the global price of crude oil has gone beyond the budget benchmark.

Nigerians don't yet understand the magnitude of corruption going on in this administration. Am afraid, before you know, it will be too late.

APC, Party of professional liars and career rogues.

Sometimes one just wonders how soooo many Nigerians have sense, but just can't put it to use. Go back up there and read what you wrote. Recovered funds = N250bn, yet you still ask so seriously why N250bn cannot fully fund a budget where recurrent expenditure alone is almost N4trillion.

chukxie:
Most this guy react to every topic relating to Christianity ?

nifemi25:
Why is this man always against anything that consign Christianity

What has self mutilation got to do with Christianity?...

Just the way you guys have the right to drop yoir opinions on this thread, are you guys saying Freeze as a private individual doesnt have the right to speak against some obvious 'false doctrine' or even outrightly silly acts like what the lady is doing?

What exactly is Christ-like about burning your skin with a pressing iron and now using a knife for self mutilation? . For the lady to actually cut-off her own body, God knows what she would do if she falls into the arms of any dubious prophet. She needs mental evaluation.

andyanders:
This government has displayed to the whole world that if you are a Northerner and commits any offense, you are not guilty.

I believed that this government came for a change and from what the ruling party has displayed,they are the worst government EVER in the history of Nigeria.

Buhari has lost it and I regretted EVER believing in him.APC is just a scam.

What does this case have to do with buhari?... Must everything just be about an obsession for Buhari buhari and Buhari?

SalamRushdie:
Ohaneze should shut up and take a sit , what do they expect when they kept mum all tje while Buhari kept practising Nepotism from the onset , is it now that Buhari has established is Nepotism they want to complain

What exactly does this case even have to do with buhari?

President Muhammdu Buhari assured Nigerians on Saturday that the country’s economy was doing well.The President said apart from saving $500m in the Sovereign Wealth Fund and investing another $500m in the SWF, the country’s external reserve presently stands at $[b]35bn, the highest in the past four years.[/b]According to him, the Federal Government has saved about N18bn within one year after the establishment of an Efficiency Unit under the Federal Ministry of Finance in early 2016 to reduce wastage, plug leakages and foster greater fiscal transparencyThe President  was represented by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo (SAN),who  stated this on Saturday in Jos, during the graduation of 66 participants in the 2017 Senior Executive Course 39 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies in Kuru.

$35bn isn't the highest in the last 4 years. As at mid-2014 just before oil prices crashed, the reserve was around $40bn.

If I talk now, they'll say tribalist.

How will a 17 yrs old boy bring a car home without the mother asking for his source of wealth. Instead she is shinning teeth like a goat.

Only a fool won't see that there is something fishy here. In this present day Nigeria GEJ and his goons ruined.

Only fools jump to quick conclusions. Almost everyone on this thread seems to be so sure the mum isn't aware of what the boy does; even without info, almost everyone seems to have jumped into the conclusion that the boy is into something fishy.

What's meant to be in the musuem?

Laveda:
A lady has taken to her twitter page to share her rape experience with a guy she visited at night. She said she was introduced to the guy through her friend they planned a meetup, which she agreed to go, and on getting there, so many things took place.

Read below.

http://orjisblog.com.ng/2017/11/26/lady-recounts-experience-with-a-nigerian-man-unilagolodo/

Wait wait wait! You have a boyfriend, yet you wilfully embark on a trip to another guy's house on the Island, with the intention of sleeping not just in the same house, but in the same room and on the same bed with him. You then go further to take off your jeans and put on a sexy short, and then proceed to sleep on the same bed with a guy who isn't your BF?

I don't ever get to say this nor blame girls in situations like this, but in this case, the girl is clearly the architect of her own predicaments; she's either a slut (who had intentions of eventually cheating on her BF with this very dude), or she's just plain stupid. I only pity the person she calls her BF.

As for the rapist anyway, that is what he is, 'a rapist'. But strangely and sadly enough, a majority of Nigerian guys are guilty of this very sort of date-rape; a lot of guys talk about how "it was a battle for hours" before they could get the choco, not knowing it's actually a form of rape. At the end, our society doesnt accept it as rape, cos the case always ends with why the girl used her legs to go to a guys one-room house when she was meant to be in school, and of course the girl keep shut. FUnny enough, I've seen this happen several times and weirdly, the girl eventually goes back to the guy for more.

Freeze doesn't preach the Bible, he preaches a mutilated version, or rather, he mutilates the bible.

And you know why Freeze gains large followers? It's explained in the Bible...

"Having itching ears, they gather up teachers unto themselves"...

Freeze might not be a Christian, but you certainly deceive yourself if you claim that what he preaches isn't directly from the bible.

onuhabel1:
Last night, God's servant, Dr Paul Enenche of Dunamis exposed the truth of tithing pointing out how Jesus endorsed in
Matt 23:23 says

New Living Translation
"What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens, but you ignore the more important aspects of the law--justice, mercy, and faith. You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.

King James Bible
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

The passage shows that Jesus endorsed tithing but rebuked tithing in iniquity, so we should tithe!
*You should tithe, yes, but do not neglect the more important things.* (NLT)
Excerpts from the teaching:

WHAT IS THE TITHE ABOUT?
1. The Tithe is one-tenth of a person’s income
2. The Tithe existed before the law of Moses (Gen. 14:18-20; 2Cor. 9:6-7)
The Tithe did not come with the law of Moses so it cannot go with the law Moses. It existed far before the law and will continue to exist far after the law.
3. The Tithe did not begin as a commandment, it began as a Kingdom principle delivered by revelation (Gen. 14:18-20)
Nobody told Abraham to tithe, it was revealed to him by God
4. Kingdom principles and revelations are universal in application (Mark 13:37)
Time does not change Divine principles and revelations (Gen. 17:1; Matt. 5:48; 2Cor. 13:11)
6. Tithing was confirmed and commended by the Master in the New Testament (Matt. 23:23; Luke 11:42; Lev. 27:30)
7. The Tithe was validated by Paul the Apostle in the New Testament [Heb. 7:1-8]


Do not be pastored by Social media!

Another tithing thread again...

Okay, tithing did not come with the law of Moses and cannot go with the law Moses. But there are 3 things which are being twisted by these modern day teachings:

1. Tithing which existed before the law of Moses wasnt a mandatory requirement. Abraham VOLUNTARILY tithed (out of his spoils of war), and it is on record that he did so only once. Modern day teachings contradict this.

2. Jacob, also before the laws of Moses, similarly tithed VOLUNTARILY. He made a personal vow to God to give a tenth if God rescued him. This again is being contradicted by modern day teachings which says every believer MUST give a tenth to be in God's good books.

3. After the laws of Moses passed, Apostle Paul whilst delivering the message to the gentile Christians (which Nigeria falls under) explained the right principles of giving under the new covenant in 2Cor 9:7. This teaching requires that a believer should give willingly and without compulsion, whatever amount he chooses in his heart to give. This again is another very important principle which is being contradicted or totally neglected by modern day preachers who clearly base their tithe teachings from Mosaic principles.

Another lamentation thread loading...

Ebisco01:
Yakubu Galadima, the lawyer for the whistle-blower, who informed the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of the $43m, N23.2m and £27,800 (N13bn) recovered from an Ikoyi apartment, says his client will not accept anything below five per cent commission.

Galadima said this during a chat with one of our correspondents on Saturday.

The Secretary of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Bolaji Owasanoye, at an event on Thursday titled, ‘Tracking Noxious Funds’, which was organised by Kent University Law School and Human and Environmental Development Agency, had explained that any whistle-blower, who helped the government to recover anything above N1bn would receive less than five per cent commission.

Owasanoye, who was part of the team that drafted the whistle-blower policy had said, “If you blow the whistle and the government recovers cash, you are entitled to between 2.5 per cent and five per cent. The maximum limit is five per cent.

“According to the policy, if you blow the whistle and it is below N500m, you get four to five per cent because the higher the amount that is recovered, the lower the percentage that is given. This is the global best practice.

“If the recovery is between N500m and N1bn, you get three to four per cent (commission). If it is N1bn and above, it is 2.5 per cent. Indeed, there is a clause that we included in the policy to say that the government may determine the amount to be awarded based on other criteria provided that the amount to be awarded doesn’t exceed five per cent. In other words, the government may actually pay less than 2.5 per cent but nobody can be paid more than five per cent.”

However, the Ikoyi whistle-blower’s lawyer told SUNDAY MC EBISCO on Saturday that his client would not accept anything less than five per cent.

When asked if his client would accept anything less than five per cent, he said, “Not at all.”

Galadima had stated last week that the commission his client was expecting from the Federal Government was N860m and not N325m.

He had also stated that the commission should be paid based on the exchange rate at the time the money was recovered and not the current one.

Attempts to get comments from the Ministry of Finance were not successful as calls and a text message sent to the Director of Information in the ministry, Mr. Salisu Dambatta, were not responded to.

Beneficiary to be paid before Thursday, says ministry official

Meanwhile, there are indications that the Ministry of Finance is awaiting the final clearance from the EFCC before it can pay the Ikoyi whistleblower.

Officials in the ministry confided in one of our correspondents that the whistle-blower was expected to be paid before the end of this month.

However, it was gathered that while the ministry was ready to make the payment, the move could be delayed as administrative work was still ongoing on the issue.

The official said the ministry had put in place detailed procedures for processing payments under the whistle-blower policy.

These procedures, according to the official, were designed to prevent abuse, legal disputes and to ensure protection of the information providers.

He stated that the identity of the information provider must be verified, adding that there would be calculation of the amount payable and computation of relevant taxes.

The source stated, “The ministry of finance is not directly involved in the recovery of looted fund; that is the responsibility of the various security agencies.

“Our role is to make payment and you will recall that last week, the finance minister said payment would be made this month to the person who assisted in the recovery of looted funds including the Ikoyi whistle-blower.

“That process is on and final payment can be released when we receive confirmation from the agency that made the recovery before we can know who to pay money to.

“In the case of the Ikoyi recovery, we are talking of the EFCC which is the agency that made the recovery and once they give us final confirmation, payment would be made.”

In a related development, Owasanoye has revealed that violation of the directive regarding the Treasury Single Account by government agencies and officials tops the list of recoveries made from the whistle-blower policy.

Owasanoye said, “As of the end of October, over 5,000 whistles had been blown and about 75 per cent of that came from phone calls. So, you can report on the website, email, text message or phone call.

“What are the things that the various communications have covered? Contract inflation, ‘ghost workers’, payment of unapproved funds, embezzlement of salaries, diversion of excess crude funds, improper reduction of financial penalties, diversion of funds meant for people, placing money in a commercial bank, non-remittance of deduction of pensions or NHIS and failure to implement projects.

“Others include embezzlement of funds received from donors, embezzlement of payment meant for personnel emoluments, violation of TSA which is the highest, violation of FIRS regulations, non-procurement of safety equipment, money laundering, illegal sale of government assets, diversion of IGR which is the second largest, financial misappropriation, concealed bailout funds, mismanagement of micro-finance banks and illegal recruitment.”

The government is just sick, what on earth is wrong with just keeping to your side of the bargain? Why all this drama just to deprive the man of his due? What message does this send to the world and potential future whistle blowers?

But seriously, who is Shatta wale?... What song or songs did he sing?

BigIyanga:
Stop talking without facts! From CDG-AMS-ORD-ATL-PEK etal, they all have pickup and dropoff terminals

Well, your airport must be very generous (probably in the US). The big airports I know have a strip were you could quickly set down passengers just in-front of departures (typically allowed to stop for 5 or max of 10 mins).. But for pick-ups (arrivals), this facility typically doesnt exist, you have to use the short-stay parking facility.
