JUHABACH:
this is the first time i am hearing of such news. could you please post any news link showing en mass massacre of shite muslims during the Gej administration

TheRealestGuy:
I laugh at you...

I think delusion is your hobby.

Keep living in a fool's paradise.

Even a toddler born in Nigeria is aware of the mindless brutality of our armed forces (from military to police to even traffic warders a.k.a yellow fever). But all of a sudden, due to their rabid pre-programmed hatred for buhari and Apc, some have chosen to develop selective amnesia or have chosen to just be wilfully delusional over these known facts. Anyway, the internet does not forget. I am yet to see any one of these buhari haters call GEJ a tyrant or a killer over the well known mindless brutality of the Nigerian military men towards unarmed citizens.

Sheikh Zakzaky’s 3 sons, 9 others died in Nigerian troops, Shiite Muslims Clash

Someone would soon tell me Buhari was the president in 2014 July.

TheRealestGuy:
Whatever rocks your boat.

Just don't say this nonsense where intelligent minds are having a proper discourse.

Your postulation that the current recession was caused by militants is the most absurd and stupid theory I've heard this year.

Knock yourself out...

Wonderful, an INTELLIGENT MIND that thinks a drop in price of oil can cause a recession but he doesn't think an over 40% drop in volume of the only product Nigeria sells has any bearing whatsoever on the economy. Clap for yourself young man, you are indeed very intelligent.

TheRealestGuy:
[s]Keep living in delusion.

Do you even understand what recession is?

I weep for your level of ignorance!

I mentioned it succinctly that falling oil prices was the major culprit!

Get your sorry ass outta here dude.

Sheepish buhari follower.[/s]

Bleedy wailer devoid of straight reasoning faculty. In your peculiar wisdom, a drop in price of oil can cause a recession but you do not think an over 40% drop in volume of crude Nigeria sells can possibly have any effect on our economy. Mr "I know what recession is"... Waste of school fees.

TheRealestGuy:
[s]Pertinent question.

I did because you have refused to understand that this government has an agenda in collusion with the NA.

Why will the NA have Arabic on it's official logo? Why do some states in the north practice Sharia?

Why do they have Islamic bank n a secular country?

Why do the have kannywood instead of being in nollywood?

I don't know where you're from but northern Nigeria has never ever seen themselves as one with Nigeria, the above questions should give you clues to what I mean.

They've always had their own agenda which is very evil.

You should quit supppporting this govt blindly and do some introspection and retrospection.

You also need to watch that Ahmadu Bello clip where he was saying that until the Koran is dipped into the Atlantic Ocean, the northern agenda must go on...

Open your eyes!!![/s]

There you go again with your infantile delusional rants. Did the NA start being brutal under this regime?... Did the NA kill or did they not kill Shiites when GEJ was the C-in-C?... Yet you come online to spew meaningless trash about how this govt is doing one thing or the other...

Well Senator Samuel Anyanwu 2019

TheRealestGuy:
To answer all your long story, are oil installations being bombed in Venezuela? Or Saudi Arabia?

Did these bombings start today? We experienced worse during Obj's time and even Yaradua before he gave them amnesty.

Now to be clear, the recession was caused by a combination of factors no doubt, [size=13pt]but bombing of oil installations is the least of them.[/size]

Let me give you the major factors here:
1. The fall in oil prices, the major culprit.
2. PMB's slowness and dullness. His failure to appoint ministers after 6 months was a very big clog in our economy. This caused many things in the economy to come to a standstill.
3. Policy somersaults and inconsistency, and this is a major reason why there was serious capital flight out of Nigeria. When investors know that your policies are not clear cut and volatile, then they pull out their funds, foreign investors that is.
4. Incompetence on the part of the economic handlers.
5. The president's failure to allow the naira find its level in the market for over 1 year. Do you have any idea how much this hurt our economy especially as it encouraged round tripping in the forex market. This alone made the value of the Naira sink to abysmal levels and this is another major factor.

You are the sentimental one here incapable of looking at things objectively. Your love for god buhari has rendered you a zombie, always ready to believe any lies thrown out there once it's in your god's favour.

Are the bombings also responsible for the negative growth in our non oil sector? Are they responsible for the massive job losses in the last one year, of which most companies cited unfavourable govt policies, and Filip in cost of doing business, and so on, as reasons for slashing jobs.

Young man, bombings are the very last and least reason, whether in combination or not, that we are in deep poo today. The above-mentioned reasons are the major culprit.

And for your information, it takes much more than COMMON SENSE to understand economic issues and issues about recession.

It's simpletons like you who think it's we are in this mess cos militants reduced our exports of oil whose price is low. Or maybe you're just making sure that your god is absolved in the matter.

No, it's much more than that. Buhari himself was a major catalyst, much more major than militants. Go figure...

Enough said...

From an average production of 2.2million barrels/day to less than 1.3 million barrels daily, that's an over 40% reduction in export volume for a country that makes 92% of its forex earnings from oil sale; and here we have a person who genuinely thinks he is smart telling us authoritatively that a 40% reduction is insignificant, rather he thinks a late appointment of ministers a bigger factor than an over 40% loss in sales made by the country.... And this is the sort of reasoning level one has to contend with everyday on Nairaland.

Like i said earlier, it isn't worth it spending any further second with a person who has allowed pointless sentiments erode his very ability to reason objectively. YOU WIN!... I BOW OUT IN SHAME!

Very nice development. In a couple of years, Nigeria would could overtake and become the biggest producers of oil palm worldwide.

TheRealestGuy:
So where is the change?

And don't delude yourself by concluding that I'm a GEJ fan...

I'm not a fan of any politician...

So why did you have to mention my name in the first instance?

TheRealestGuy:
Sarrki, omenka, hungerbad, obailala and Co....

See this...

You guys must be delivered!!!

Delivered from what into what exactly?... Delivered from uncommon sense and wisdom into daftness and selective amnesia?.. Were the same shiites not also killed under the command of your amiable lord and saviour?... Were the 3 sons of the shiite leader not also killed then?

TheRealestGuy:
I laugh at you.

When it suits you you say it's low prices of oil, and cite Venezuela and Co for us...

Now it's militants blowing pipelines...

You never see anything, keep skirting around the truth...

- Nigeria gets 92% of its forex earnings from sale of crude; over-reliance on one volatile commodity
- The price of crude drops from an average of $100/barrel to less than $50/barrel
- The average volume of crude Nigeria sells drops from about 2.2 million barrels to less than 1.3 million barrels daily courtesy of bombings.

One doesn't need more than COMMON SENSE to understand that an economic crisis can be caused by a COMBINATION of factors and the primary factors in the Nigerian scenario have been pointed out above. But obviously common sense isn't so common due to flimsy sentimental reasons so therefore this simple logic is too difficult for certain people (even educated ones) to understand. Hence my last comment that it is needless and a total waste of time arguing with certain kind of people.

First of all, Nigeria isn't the only place where thousands of OIL WORKERS are losing jobs, this is a global phenomenon due to the crash in oil prices and profits of oil companies.

Secondly, the matter would definitely be worse in Nigeria because in addition to the crash in the oil prices, the NDA and the other attachee militant groups springing up for whatever (possibly political) reason, have chosen this very time of crisis in the oil industry to suddenly remember that the Niger Delta is undeveloped.

Meanwhile may strong thunder strike down the bastards who have been glorifying the bombing of pipelines but still come around on this thread to wail.

TheRealestGuy:
[s]If you think that the cause of the recession is the bombing of oil installation, then I assure you, you are a certified, incurable and hopeless ...

You know what the last word is... fill in the gap...[/s]

Its needless exchanging words with pained losers who have rendered themselves incapable of reasoning objectively.

Someone would soon blow the pipes again to increase the hunger in the land and to perpetuate the darkness and stagnation/retrogression the nation suffers from. And we would of course have some brothers cheering the destruction because they believe the actors are actually helping them fight/punish their enemies.

Of course the fight is a fight against Buhari and northerners; the hunger, the darkness, the uselessness of the Naira, the job losses, the bad/deteriorating roads, the increasing national debts and the general devastation of the nation's economy is only felt by Buhari and northerners.

He was elected to spread wealth and he surely did spread the wealth, albeit illegally and carelessly to the wrong people. Even morons with the slightest link to Aso Rock began owning and flying private jets and GEJ bragged about it as an achievement.

Fast-forward to when the money stopped flowing in and everything collapses; zero savings, economy collapses, hunger takes over and the blame goes to the new leaders who stepped in at a time of peril, a peril which is the direct result of the indiscretions of the PhD holding father-christmas who thought and strangely still thinks and brags that his duty was to share national wealth to his friends and colleagues without any meaningful infrastructural development on ground which can benefit the commoners.

Certainly there are different ways to spread wealth; wealth spread around wisely gets to reach the common man and it stands the test of time in form of tangible infrastructure, but wealth spread foolishly dissappears as it comes on the day the income stops flowing. Nigeria is suffering from the latter.

On this particular herdsmen issue, I stand with Fayose. Enough of this nonsense!

Is it me that has a comprehension problem or is it 98% of the commenters on this thread that just lack comprehension?

Opinedecandid:
I'm particularly pained and vexed when I see law enforcement officers abuse laws even when human lives are involved.

That's why I won't ever be a fan of Buhari.

Did the trigger happiness of our armed forces (police, army, etc) start with Buhari's regime?... What exactly has buhari got to do with this?... Some of you just need to grow up!

MattFreeman007:
Those rejoicing over the death of this guy shouldn't forget that Karma is there for all.. Buhari sent christian soldiers to be killed by Boko Haram and at the same time sent soldiers down to niger delta to kill the Christians here too but one thing is certain....Life is like a race , of which the first runners turns to be the last person as soon as it says about turn...... what's happening to this family can happen to you guys rejoicing over this at any time... May His Soul Rest In Peace,,!!!!

You hate Buhari so much probably cos he unseated your preferred candidate in an election. Why don't you just come out plainly and say you hate the man instead of concocting all these infantile and foolish theories of "Buhari sending Christian soldiers to be killed by bokoharam"?

If this would ensure the roads are maintained as roads should be maintained, then it's fine. I would rather pay a token sum and arrive at my destination in peace, on time, with my sanity and with my life. My only worry however is how it would be managed, maintenance of roads should be concessioned to the private sector, government should never be allowed to handle any toll cash, else all collected cash would end up in one big-man's pocket as usual.

Nigeria is being crippled from every angle by the same old culprit. When it all crumbles, we would learn how not to rely 100% on income from just one volatile product, or we would learn to save for the rainy day when we can't help but have just one product.

Meanwhile for the blame passers and career wailers, it's very easy to pass blames around, afterall someone has to be blamed and who else but the one sitting on the iron throne.

This is a beautiful development. It has been delayed for so so long though.

Guy man.. bad sharp guy

Sealeddeal:
when a terrorist trained in Northern Nigeria rule a state in South, that's how it always is. Okorocha is a Boko haram member. Free education ko, freeze education no !

Lol... Wailers... I suppose all other southern states aren't ruled by terrorists too?.. kindly show me one state which hasn't got this sort of mess in rural (and even urban) areas?

Did they throw a bomb in there?

GBTYO:

In Isoko and Urhobo land we have been looking for excuse to seize cow.

ephi123:
After abusing waliers, you then proceeded to wail. Hahaha
Buhari should not be careful abeg, let him continue as he has been doing ehn.

There is a difference between 'criticism' and pointless directionless wailing; a very clear difference indeed. And just so you know, not everyone who criticises or lambasts the government is a wailer.

Zceesneh:
she looks beautiful to me

That's good for you and very good for her... This is the beauty of the world, no matter the situation/condition, beauty is only in the eyes of the beholder. Don't get me wrong, I didn't say she isn't beautiful, I only think she's extremely skinny and looks malnourished.

Something interesting about wailers is that they are bound to wail irrespective of the circumstance. Had it been that governors and party chiefs were responsible for the nominated ambassadors, wailers would have wailed about how appointments are based on paddy-paddy and not merit. Now Buhari has shunned governors and party chiefs, wailers would still wail over this, and one begins to wonder where some of these folks really stand.

In my opinion, this should strictly be an APC palaver. Though I personally don't like the paddy-paddy arrangement of governors and party big-men nominating and having anointed candidates for positions; but then, that is how politics is played in this part of the world and Buhari ought to be careful else he risks the support of his party men in 2019.

One can't really blame the follower for his harsh comment, she really looks very sickly. If normal food ain't working, she should try some herbal remedies for her anorexia.

Prince16:

I've just dashed u my like.
Pls use it well

Lol... abeg wetin dem dey use like do?

Reno seems to be losing it day after day.

The performance of the economy is largely dependent on a whole lot of factors, not just the qualifications or expertise of one person who is the finance minister. Oh yes, NOI may be older, with stronger qualifications and better experienced than Kemi, but the recession has nothing to do with that especially when you consider the inputs of all other members of the team (president, CBN governor etc); there's only so much a mere finance minister can do in the face of Nigeria's present travails.

NOI herself is a very good case study. The largest growth and progress Nigeria experienced occured under her watch as the finance minister under OBJ and with powerful brains like Soludo manning the CBN. But the very same NOI was barely able to sustain the momentum under GEJ and the whole pack of cards crashed as soon as oil prices began to drop (Kemi was only just extremely unlucky to step in at a time when the centre wasn't holding).

All the economic achievements Nigeria made under NOI's watch under OBJ seems to have been reversed under her watch during the GEJ days and this clearly points out that there's only so much a finance minister can do especially when she's working under a poor team.
