this guys speaks from the abundance of his fulani mind. But zombies like obailala, abagworo, and other clowns still think it's a PDP vs APC affair. I dey look dem they laugh. SMH.

Chai! this is monumental Zombeism of highest grade!

Keep deceiving yourselves Oh ye bleedy jonathanians. There's no amount of ethnic/tribal/religious divide and rule tactics you plebs didn't apply to perpetuate the ineffectual one in power. Even long after his loss, the man is happily enjoying his loot in retirement but you guys in your frustration still desperately keep churning out all sorts of bizarre divide and rule tactics to justify your delusions. Sensible people have since learnt how to pay no attention to your devices and you and you alone will drown in them. Today Nigeria is a thousand times more divided that it ever was, no thanks to the failed divide and rule tactics of the clueless ones.

All these people that care only about personal interests; what about national interests?

when a nation says no to patience and goodluck, such nation is doomed

Rapmoney:
I could still remember vividly how so many persons, especially, on this forum, were seriously campaigning for the emergence of Buhari as the executive president of Nigeria before the elections! One thing that amazed me then, was the alarming number of young people, even those that were not even born as at 1983 when Buhari became a military head of state, seriously saying of sort of 'sweet things' about this man!!! I was amazed because most of these young people knew little or nothing about this man and his people-unfriendly policies from 1983 to 1985 before his infamous government was toppled!

A short while after the inuaguration of Buhari as the president, the APC led administration, in their usual deceptive manner, swayed many Nigerians and brainwashed them absolutely by giving them false hopes that their lives were about to 'change' economically and otherwise!

Power supply was tactfully boosted in the process of further deceiving the people. I know how many persons right on this forum that didn't allow us to breathe with the chanting of 'change'!!! To me, it seems these folks were actually chanting 'chains, chains', all along without knowing.

When the present administration commenced their window-dressing fight against corruption, hands were raised to the sky again, with the shouts of praises for Muhammadu Buhari. The chants of 'chains' which came in disguise of 'change' was high again!

Fast forward to the present...what are we experiencing presently if not pains and frustration from this government of 'chains'

A box of matches costs 20 Naira now!

Egg is now sold for 40 Naira!

The price of pure water has sky-rocketed!

Supply of electricity is disgraceful as it no longer epileptic...now, we don't even see the light!

Transportation fare has doubled!

There is no fuel in our filling stations!

The prices of foodstuffs have gone beyond the comprehension of the common man!

Insulgents are still ravaging the North-Eastern part of Nigeria while the government claims they have succeeded in defeating BH!!!

The rate of unemployment is increasing and the Naira/Dollar rate has made many businesses to shrink!

People now buy fuel with their generators in filling stations (something that was unheard of)

People like Dino Melaye, who instigated violent riots against the former president for trying to remove fuel subsidy now drive foreign cars while our so-called youths who were brain-washed to fight an irrelevant course would still make silly statements like 'Wow, nice car' when they see such cars posted on forums like Nairaland!

Sometimes, I just wonder why Nigerian youths go to school!!! I only sympathize with my fellow Nigerians who saw the 'chains' in the 'change'. For those that voted or supported this government, it is too late to cry when the head is off! You are reaping what you sow; I just feel for the innocent people whose economic well-being you have helped to jeopardize!!!

You cannot start complaining and criticizing Buhari when you know fully well that you are part of the architectural team that constructed this undesired government.

They say a people truly deserve the type of leaders they get. He who brings ants-ridden woods into is house should not complain when lizards start paying him visits! Eat your bitter cake so that you can rid yourself off the spirit of being gullible!!!

Wailing over and over again like a broken cord, why don't you go revert oil prices to profitability and restore the forex reserves in the CBN?.... Na Buhari do am.. congrats on your wisdom.

Great idea if we intend moving backwards. ...foolish idea if we are moving forward.Pencil was good business when the world was a paper world. The world has long been moving to paperless world.... sooo many pencil manufacturers have long gone out of business.... the world has long been trying to conserve forests .... and here we are planning to go backwards and shouting great development.What next?...a VCD plant?....afterall...many people still play VCD'S and it would create jobs.

3 Facts...
1. Pencils are still used all over the world, they are not going extinct any time soon.
2. Nigeria still uses a lot of pencils and it is disheartening to note that we import them all.
3. If Nigeria can start producing pencils (for local use and for export), it is a good thing.

No amount of smart analysis of yours can negate these 3 commonsensical facts above.

Similarly, when the case of building coal power plants to stop the over-reliance on gas is brought up, some smart-asses oppose such an idea claiming that coal isn't a clean power source. The fact remains that, we have a major power problem in Nigeria, over-reliance on gas isnt helping us (especially when you consider the recurring sabotage of pipelines), we need to diversify our source of power and no matter how unclean coal might be, it still produces over 40% of the world's power supply and will continue to do so for at least the next 50 years. We can't continue to outsmart ourselves.

Was someone trying to blow open the bank's vault?... What could have led to this?

No comments!

And some ekpas are complaining that PMB hasn't fixed Nigeria in 9 months.

Why is that Open pro-north bigots like kwankwaso and buhari can win presidential mandates but an eastern politician will have to be anti-east before he can be considered good for the Nigerian presidency?

"I am Igbo" clowns like Abagworo and obailala can you provide us an answer in the spirit "one Nigeria"?

Bro, just like Abagworo has mentioned to you, APC is not Hausa-Yoruba and PDP is not Igbo. Whether you agree or not, is your freakin business; it's a free world and everyone has a right to support whichever political candidate they deem fit. That an Igbo man supports an Hausa candidate over an Ijaw candidate (who most of his tribesmen support), that doesn't make such a man anti-east; he only expresses his freedom and any pained loser who thinks otherwise needs to have their heads checked for virus.

kanu called GEJ an idiot and mumu while he was president! next!

Kanu is a confused psychopath, so what he does doesn't matter. But 99% of his followers today including yourself are just disgruntled Jonathanians. Before 2015, you never gave a damn if one albino called Kanu existed, not until Jona lost an election. And then Kanu became your god.

medpren:
It can only happen in your animalistic country ruled by your hausa-Fulani masters like an arab jungle but not in saner countries. That Biafran guy has set a precedence, watch out for the next episode, your globe-trotting dullarrdd and lord of manor is next!

Keep mumuing yourself globally because your choice candidate lost a democratic presidential election. you still have over 3 years to keep mumuing after which it would very likely continue. Goodluck!

My only concern is that the mumuing doesn't get violent thereby jeopardising the safety of the larger smart crowd who are simply minding their businesses across Nigeria.

The so called comments are from the usual suspects. By their names they are known; those are all Jonathanians.

We r talking of solving our fuel problem and also making cool forex from it, mr onu is talkng pencil. he shud device means to make agriculture attrctive to graduates by producing machineries n other techy devices to ease n promote good yield not pencil abeg.
can u compare monies made from cocoa alone to pencils, how much will pencil generate for naija through forex?
yes produce pencils but that is not what we need as a nation even if we r back to 1983.

If your point is that 'more should be done,' then the honorable thing to do is to say it. But to come here and say it is foolish thing for Nigeria to start producing something it imports, I think you really need to look yourself in the mirror.

trash! this lair mohammed's lapdog don carry pdp and apc matter come as usual. he never disapoints. Last i checked Obiano was called a drunkard on radio BiafR*, if obiano travels out, i an Anambrian- Biafran will call him to order, just like that guy, if i am opportuned to be present there.

Goodluck as you try to 'orubebe' Obiano. But unlike Rochas' case, I'm not sure you would be bundled out of the room in one piece. At least some of those people around would 'pregnant' your eyes or lips with punches and possibly draw 'small' blood from your reserves before they throw you out

emiwanlee:
This guy started the hatred for jonathsn by saying there was money missing which was a lie. We did not know that he was paving way for a complete animal to become president for tribalistic reasons.

Bleedy Jonathanian wailer.... Audit of NNPC is still ongoing. The first partial (scam) audit which was done under Jonathan confirmed that about $1.4billion wasn't remitted by NNPC. The audit report also confirmed that the auditors couldn't account for up to $18bn because they were barred from CBN and NPDC books. So even a kid knows that SLS wasn't lying about accounting irregularities.

Furthermore, the alarm raised by SLS wasn't meant to implicate Jonathan but rather to draw his attention to irregularities. It was purely the cluelessness and paranoia of GEJ and his Jonathanian army that made it eventually look like it was an attack on Jonathan. When a leader is told that there are some financial irregularities in one of the government agencies, a sensible/smart leader simply calls for an investigation to douse public tension; in the Nigerian case, we all know these kind of investigations never end until the public forgets. But in the case of Jonathan, his first response was to scream "no money is missing," thereby making it look like he was being accused of pocketing the money. The cluelessness of his response and his continuous defensive stance on the matter (instead of an investigative stance) is what implicated him, not SLS.

yaki84:
when last did u use pencil?
nowadays pupils in nursery n primary schools dont even use pencils anymore.

Because you are no longer in nursery/primary school, you really think pencils are now useless?... Are you by any means implying that pencils are no longer in use or in demand worldwide?

Nigeria imports a lot of pencils, now we make a move to start producing and stopping importation of this item yet some people think it's a foolish idea? I really don't get it, or is this supposed to be an attempt at criticising government?...

By the way, the last time I used a pencil was yesterday to make some quick engineering sketches for a presentation.

I'm sure he was asked about his state and Wike. But you keep comparing Wike to Buhari, why?

.....wonderful never ends with Nigerian, as orubebe nearly plunge nigeria into blood shead during the presidential election in nigeria last year, still the second scene happened this month at charthan house in london, God so good the attacker was not armed than biafran flag, it would have been serious for the attendants, although the speecher governor Rocha okorocha was 'sen et sauve' but there were many unanswered questions, it was mention that the tout is ipob member, why his name withead? is he come with governor delegation to there? or was he an audience at the chartham? how nigerian delegations and urdience would be taken in chartham house next time?
I think Igbo leaders and elders must take a firm action against these ipob and massob touts now, unless they were playing double card with nigeria on the issue of biafra!

This your English has taken the sleep out of my eyes.

I don't have the S6 or the S6 edge, but I've seen a couple friends with it and have become envious after seeing the results and wonderful photos from their phones. Samsung's now onto the S7 and S7 Edge which are top ranked too. It is really incredible, but you don't have to take my word for it, tests have been done...

7) https://www.ephotozine.com/article/top-10-best-camera-phones-for-photography-2015-23050

The reason I say this is because I'm into photography, I own two phones, a droid and an iphone so I am objective about it all. I also have multiple professional style cameras, and I do photo editing, so I can notice certain things. Furthermore, the front facing camera (for selfies, etc or photos without flash and low lighting) is exquisite. I saw it firsthand myself, and it bothered me my phones failed in comparison.

There is a crispness that the S6 phones have that I haven't seen on other phones at all. I would always suggest to people that take a lot of photos with their phones to get the Samsungs because the camera quality is an extreme value-add.

You are spot on... I use an S5 but recently tested the camera on an S6 and was shocked at the picture quality. I might just be upgrading to an S7 pretty soon (hoping it's camera would beat the S6).

FACTS are sacred.
Lies cannot cover them forever.
Ask the 36 state governors how the reserve was emptied.

[img]http://www.tradingeconomics.com/charts/og.png?url=/nigeria/gdp-growth-annual[/img]

Without having to dig much into your facts, a cursory look at your gdp growth rate chart speaks volumes of how Nigeria's gdp growth rate which was averaging between 6-7% was crashed to 2.35% before the carcass was handed over to PMB.

Secondly, the nation's reserves were crashed quickly from $38billion to $28billion within the last 6 months of GEJ. PMB has been managing to maintain it between that $27-28billion for the past 9 months, hence mainly the naira suffers cos no buffers (forex reserves) were left.

Thirdly, you accuse APC of playing the blame game even with these glaring facts, yet you are here blaming the governors for daring to ask for their share of ECA. Meanwhile these governors were mainly the same PDP governors and they took only 45% of the entire ECA. So please tell me, what did FG do with it's 65% giant share amounting to over $11billion??... should I also ask the 36 governors how the FG squandered its share?

Wat a world.GEJ killed polio in nigeria Buhari wore the crown

Same way in which GEJ and his lieutenants ruined our economy and emptied our reserves but PMB takes all the blame for his inability to miraculously correct this mess in 9months.

Jonathanians scrambling to claim one meaningless award saying it was GEJ's efforts that eliminated the disease. They forget the fight to kick polio out of Nigeria has been on full gear even before GEJ dreamt of being president. The funny part is, when you remind them of how GEJ's efforts at lootocracy in irresponsible financial management plunged us to the very sorry economic state we presently find ourselves, they either choose to heap the blame on Buhari alone or they start accusing everyone of blame game.

Bunch of confused plebs still thinking election is next week Congrats to Bubu for receiving this award for Nigeria!

Tinubutoto:
very foolish government for foolish people

What is foolish about this idea?

It's not a bad idea as long as it creates jobs, brings revenue and saves our forex.

These Bloomberg people have never for once said anything good about Nigeria. They keep writing silly articles everyday as if their life depends on Nigeria devaluing its currency. They can go to hell!

fulanimafia:
That does not justify the criminal offence, and it's only applying this sort of treatment that will knock sense into the stubborn law breakers.

Besides, how do you know that's not how all of them are treated when caught? Say what you know.

This case was extreme because he was resisting arrest, despite knowing he had broken the law.

I am saying what I know, this is my neighbourhood.

fulanimafia:
You say 'all because"? Do you know what would happen if all commuters on the London transport system don't pay for their trips? Those that pay are neither fools nor cowards.

I'm not in support of unnecessary harassment, however we Nigerians seem addicted to impunity, and I've come across Nigerians that consistently employ all sorts of tricks to avoid paying for their train tickets.

All of this of course is based on your premise that he was arrested as a result of an unpaid fare.

We need to learn to obey laws.

From his yellings, he mentioned something like "all because of penalty fare." I'm not in support of circumventing the system, but jumping on trains without a valid ticket is something people do everyday and this is absolutely not the treatment they get when caught. I just cant help but wonder what led to this extreme case.

EasternPride:
Must you always insult us using subtle means? I am an IPOB with a medium size tech company, and a graduate, an entrepreneur also, I am not a never do well, you cuntt!

Take ur sycophantic head off to somewhere as everything isn't about APC vs PDP dingbats.

You are a complete disgrace, I must let you know.

I used the word 'MAINLY' for a good reason, I didnt say 'ALL.' Furthermore, what I said was not in any way an insult, I was only pointing out a glaring fact. On the contrary, you are the one throwing insults by calling me a 'cuntt.'

Now if I may ask some questions
- Could you have done what the guy who disrupted Rochas in public did?
- Did you join the IPOB street protests in your town?
- Did you hop on a bus to other neighbouring cities to join in IPOB protests?
- Are you one of those who have Kanu's picture and a rising sun flag as your profile picture on facebook and who constantly make cringe inducing comments wishing death upon everybody in Nigeria?

Just like I said earlier, a lot of Igbos (not all) support an idea of separation, but if you can't answer yes to any one of the 4 questions I asked above, then you obviously aren't among the 'not-doing-too-wells' I mentioned who carry the ipob matter on their heads.

And yes, it is silly to deny the obvious link between the politics of 2015 elections and the widespread resurgence of the separatist calls in 2015.
