[size=14pt]Na Lie oh!... Yoruba and Hausa own 90% of oil blocks in Nigeria, foreigners own the rest. At least that is what 'Director' says and Director can never be wrong. NDA should blow up all the pipelines so Yoruba and Hausa will starve. The SE and SS gains absolutely nothing from oil money.[/size]


Ignorance is a terrible disease of the mind, especially when it is self inflicted.

JayZ55:
Your response only proved one thing, I was right! See you happily and proudly giving excuses why Nigeria is the way it is today, Mr, weldone o!!

I wasnt giving excuses, I was only pointing out the obvious which you and many others have sentimentally refused to acknowledge.

miracle11:
it's not surprising dats all u see. Ur inability to recognise truth even at times like these is scary. We are all wailer. There is a lot to wail about in dis country now and if u are not wailing yet it simply means u re as hardened as ur pa buhari.

Nigeria is still a mess so yeah, I wail too, but I wail constructively, not purposelessly and directionlessly...

ZACHIE:
I'm yet to appreciate our education and the lack thereof than the depth of this argument.
There is nothing more to add.

MrMcJay:
Don't eat your future.

Timing of policies matter a lot; look around you.

JayZ55:
Mr, rather its the hate for GEJ evident in your reply and strange love and fanaticism for Buhari that has so messed up the minds of so many and led us to this economic disaster we are in today and in the fans of Buhari's eyes they just wont accept or believe it, that is what you call a totally messed up mind! If GEJ was President today and fuel sold for 145, dollar against naira the way it is now, no tomatoes, everything expensive, no electricity, people loosing jobs instead of people being employed, untold hardship.... people like you would have created, manufactured, added new words in dictionaries just to insult him but as its 'almighty', 'saint' Buhari.... see you smiling and explaining why it is so. PMB and his fans, Una Good Afternoon!

I dont have any hate for GEJ, I only have a disgust at the way some of his fanatics have sent their brains on permanent vacation. Try and focus on the content of my comment and stop drifting away. A dilapidated road is reported and someone comes out in defense to say GEJ budgeted N124bn for the road several years ago; so I wonder, should we be clapping for GEJ even though the road is still in its exact same dilapidated state several years later?... If you cannot get the point in what I just said, then you might just be one of the sentimentally messed up minds we both talk about.

And yes, the reasons behind the economic downturn are very obvious for anyone with a brain to discern. If you are as objective and smart as you think you are, then you should have attempted to counter the arguments of those of us who say buhari isn't fully responsible for the current economic downturn; but instead, your idea of an objective person is one who just jumps out and blames the president for every and any problem (even for climatic events). No doubts, the government might have made some missteps, but anyone with a brain knows the reasons behind all the negatives you just mentioned above. I wouldn't just sit down and start insulting buhari because some people (who out of misguided emotions) have refused to reason clearly expect me to.

Tıme for all nıger deltans to joın the bombıng crew maybe It Wıll sell for200dollarper barrel and nıgerıa Wıll be producing one barrel a day

Bayelsa civil servants are already bearing the brunt... over 5 months unpaid salaries. Niger-deltans are not stupidd.

Huh?.. Nigerians haven't seen food to eat, the country is in dire need of forex, and someone thinks now is a good time to preserve forest?

Sweetguy25:
Not wholly true. Its more of an effect from the fires that disrupted oil production in Alberta, Canada. Remember that canada produces more oil than Nigeria.

I think the fires pushed it up beyond $40 and up to $46-$47. Nigeria's production cut of 800,000barrels did the rest.

modath:
Oh oh, Graramatu is Igbo land? Nna na everyday we dey learn new twist of history for this NL.

You need to understand that some of the confused ipob people carrying this NDA bombing issue on their head are stark illiterates (might have gone through school though) and most have never really left their village properly before.

The other day I heard one 'smart' one saying all the oil in the Niger-delta are actually from the SE but are channelled through very deep underground pipelines to the Niger delta; that it was a plan by the british, hausa and yorubas to deprive the SE of its entitlement. Probably this may have been what kanu might have said in some of his radio broadcasts, but you can't just help but wonder how someone can be inherently so daft to believe such.

Uduak2019:
Good news from $30-$50 under Buhari...now it's above the amount our budget was pegged at. I pray it hits $100 a barrel and let me hear another excuse from lying APC. Next excuse will be Niger Delta Avengers or Igbo man holding them by the balls.

At $50 a barrel, that's approximately $20 Billion a yr. WHAT THE EFF ARE WE DOING WITH ALL THESE MONIES FROM MURITALA GOVERNMENT TO BUHARI , AND YET NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT?

Nigeria is producing half of the quantity it should be producing, infact Nigeria's reduced production is the reason the price has hit $50.

Originality007:
...Igbokwe described the PDP as a lazy group of people seeking attention.

He said, “The Lagos PDP, if it still exists, has become a pathetic party led by people with a third-rate sense. Tell me the meaning of this insinuation that N3.2bn was spent for just a visit to Lagos by the President. Does it make sense at all? What point is the PDP trying to make with this gaffe?

“The PDP is a group of idle minds. Lagos PDP is confused, helpless and hopeless. Now, the PDP needs to get a life....

Chaii

3 years.. hmmm... that's quite ambitious

bloodyBLOGGER:
What issue don't I know?

no one is wishing evil on the SE.

But why is the SE always rejoicing everytime a pipeline bomb blast occurs in the SS?

It is not really the SE that rejoices per se, rather it is those same set of idiots who wish everything in Nigeria explodes, those animals who wish agony and suffering upon 170 million innocent Nigerians simply because they hate buhari. Remember their slogan "the zoo must fall"? These devils simply just wish any kind of evil upon Nigeria as a justification for their hate campaigns. But God cannot be mocked, Nigeria is blessed and will always be blessed. All enemies of Nigeria's progress would be put to shame.

The Nigerian model does not promote merit, neither does it encourage hard-work. Was it not in a supposedly advanced UNILAG that a beauty queen was given a brand new car while the best graduating first class brain was gifted a laptop?

989900B:
On point! Which brings us to, what has Dangote done for Nigeria or Kano in terms of philanthropy?

At least Dangote has created over 100,000 jobs. So I think I can give him a waiver from this knock.

[b] Nigerian-American Doctor, Godwin Maduka builds 100 houses for Widows in Anambra State

We tend to spend a lot of time complaining about Nigeria. While our complaints are certainly justified, it is important to note that we all have the power to be changemakers.

A Nigerian-American doctor is in the news today as he recently built and donated 100 bungalows for widows and other indigent persons in Umuchukwu, Orumba South Local Government Area in Anambra State.

Dr. Godwin Maduka is the founder of the Las Vegas Pain Institute and Medical Center. Dr. Maduka completed his Graduate Medical training at the Harvard University School of Medicine in Anesthesia and Critical Care and Pain Management.

Beyond his career, he has made it his mission to transform his community in Umuchukwu. Over the last 3 years, he has completed various philanthropic projects including

Donating nearly 100 motorcycles to the unemployed and underprivileged members of his community.
Building and renovation of a police station, barracks, and an updated post office
Construction of schools, homes for widows, hospitals, and religious buildings
Provision of scholarships to community residents to study at universities both in Nigeria and internationally[/b]


This is man is turning his town to city not those making silly noise to be the richest while their people are dying in penury

This is what I call a real philanthropist, not the ones who build on modern toilet latrine, splash it all over the news and then return in 2 years to contest for government positions. A fact about life is that, there is enough food in the world for nobody to go hungry, but greed is the only reason why we still have hungry people in society because a few greedy ones corner the food meant for many. Imagine if all other billionaires act like this man, we wouldn't be crying out to the govt any more because we actually have too many billionaires in Nigeria.

My main problem with this whole bombing issue is how Igbos have now mainly taken over the position of the Niger-deltans, shouting 'our oil' more than the Niger deltans and rejoicing over NDA bombings more than the Niger deltans. Apparently these are mainly the brainless nnamdi kanu zombies who wish and pray for turmoil and agony across Nigeria because they hate buhari, but God cannot be mocked, Nigeria is definitely blessed, and these idiots celebrating this economic downturn and sabotage will surely be put to shame.

poolino:
point of correction ladies and gentlemen, Jonathan remains Hero because during his tenure i remember Hw many times he awarded the contracts for those project mention by greatiyk4u but our Igbo leaders who benefited more from Jonathan ceased the funds meant for those project and shared it among themselves. it was only Ekeweremadu who use little portion of share to rehabilitate roads within Enugu state alone,but all other senators in south East consumed the money meant for such project. Stop blaming Gej but our Igbo leaders.

They would soon label you yoruba

Dem nor dey use force kill fly wen perch for brok*s.

I dont think this constant threat of force and crushing really helps anyone.

Ola Samuel and Bukola Tosin are Heeboes too, I guess?

I'm sure you both saw where I used the word 'primarily'?

Godgay:
zombie oh

Better a zomby with common sense than an isi aki bu siso akpala okuko n'ime

All I see are a large bunch of wailers primarily from a particular side of the country leading 2 of their Ugandan friends to spew garbage to the admiration and excitement of the wailers.

More Nigerians are involved in the exchange so I wonder how this can be the opinion of Ugandans.

Of course several factors have led to this economic mess... but I'm sure some will crucify emefiele for passing blames too.

Mumu Op, and mumu readers...

BenBruce4Presdt:
Thanks for the info..

From my research I have been able to gather lots of information leading to the root cause of this dastardly tomato disease..

Everything the news said were all very correct abt the disease, it's history and the devastation it already caused..

Now lemme me lead you to the real causes, why the problem became intense..

First, the disease is caused by a moth /pest. .so it's controlled using a pesticide..and these pesticides are imported and not made in Nigeria..

So like every other things which are imported was effected by Forex, the pesticides was also a victim.. Leading to some farmers inability to meet up with budgets and trying to diverse other shortcuts..

Secondly, the Ministry of Agriculture also contributed too.. .
How? Remember there was programs by FG through Ministry of Agric had in place to promote Agric activities, where fertilizers, seeds, pesticides are regularly delivered to farmers at govt subsidized rates..

My brother due to changes in policy by the govt, that program was suspended which was another burden to many farmers..

However, when some farmers noticed how difficult it might be to maintain a tomato farm without the usual incentive, Some farmers even changed the crops they planted to other confirmed profitable crops.

There are conflicting info coming from the farmers themselves as to the main reason the country has to face this problem..

But generally FG lead by M Buhari has to step up their game to alleviate some of these, as most are direct impacts of govt policies... .

Thanks for the info... so in essence, 'blame it on buhari!!!'

VulgarVulvas:
Buhari did not allude to any conviction when he made that statement but blindly declared Abacha as not corrupt because he was yet to see evidence to that effect in spite of all the repatriated loot.

Don't twist facts.

Buhari is either a very slow poke or one with very poor judgemental abilities or he was just being loyal to his former benefactor making him a biased sychophant not fit to declare an anti corruption crusade.

Shikena

Like I said earlier, whether you like it or not, whether you agree or not, the fact remains that buhari is a man of integrity, he is not a slowpoke, he doesn't have poor judgemental abilities and he is not a sycophant; live with it!

BenBruce4Presdt:
Please could you educate me on what you understand exactly that caused this tomato shortages..

I have been looking for someone who is why aware of this matter to enlighten me..

Note; Pls try to point out facts as I have on my own did some studies, but still not satisfied with all of the theories out there..

Thanks.

I'm not really an expert in this myself. But here are several links explaining the reason behind the tomato scarcity.

I heard several billions were being budgeted by GEJ to fix this runway, but somehow, someway, it's either the money was never released or it grew limbs and crawled away after it was released.

The last time a thread was opened on this NL forum to question what happened to the moneys budgeted for the fixing of this runway, the thread was instantly turned into a tribal battleground; one side suggested that Stella & GEJ had questions to answer, the others side vehemently refused that Stella or GEJ had any questions to answer even as they ascribed the poor state of the runway to 'targeted marginalisation.'

It is really sad that meaningful discussions can no longer take place anymore because of clannishness.

VulgarVulvas:
So in effect stealing and stashing public funds abroad is not corruption until one is convicted.

You try.

Why not take a break like your fellow zombies who have since long departed and ignored this thread.

I did not say it's not corruption, I simply said buhari's statement (about abacha not being convicted) is not wrong like most haters are ignorantly alluding. Simple English!

VulgarVulvas:
So Abacha was not corrupt despite the several billions repatriated back to Nigeria?

This is how you use Tinubu's lack of conviction to call him a saint.

Continue with your hypocrisy.

Buhari as far as I am concerned is the worst kind of corruption as he is highly biased on his judgements and as such has no integrity.

All I am simply saying is that Buhari was technically not wrong when he said Abacha wasnt convicted. If you still think Buhari was wrong, kindly point out the court that prosecuted or convicted Abacha. This has nothing to do with hypocrisy, it has everything to do with common sense and use of simple English.

I know in my heart that Tinubu, Jonathan, Amaechi, etc. are all corrupt (even though they haven't been convicted), I can say it here on a faceless NL forum that they are all corrupt, but I would be a fool to say it on national TV or in public especially if I am a public figure. So the point is simple, no matter how you try to paint it, Buhari is not a fool to go in public (especially in front of Abacha's family on a memorial ceremony) and say Abacha is a thief especially when Abacha was never convicted. Make una dey try use brain small, it's not by force to force corruption on Buhari. You can criticise him on his poor diplomacy, his bigotry, his poor economic direction etc., but it is pointless to try and accuse him of corruption.

Dem don go buy toyota again...

VulgarVulvas:
Utter nonsense

So your buhari Mr. Integrity is selective when declaring verdicts?

That is what the author of this OP-ED is saying.

Buhari is a selective hypocrite

QED.

Was Abacha convicted by any court?... Mr Man, whether you agree or not or whether you like it or not, Buhari is a man of integrity, live with it!
