Politics › Re: Even If The Elections Are Repeated. ... I Will Vote For Buhari by obailala(m): 7:05pm On Nov 29, 2015
Whatever the shortcomings of PMB are, it is still not enough to change the stance of any reasonable person who voted for him (except of course the person didnt know why they voted him in the first place). Removing a disastrous Jonathan and a cancerous 16years of PDP was a task that needed to be done and I thank God it came to pass.

GEJ's government enjoyed a massive oil income boom for close to 5 years but national wealth was squandered recklessly within this period to the point where even the FG had to borrow to pay salaries within 2 months of the oil price crash. I would not want to imagine what would have been of Nigeria if that administration continued till now cos I cannot imagine how a government which couldnt manage plenty can survive in a famine; oh yes, Nigeria is going through a famine presently and only a dunce would attribute that to Buhari's leadership.

The N5000 is a silly campaign promise which cannot and should not be fulfilled. If the FG thinks it wants to prove 'integrity' by trying to fulfill this silly promise, then it's a recipe for disaster.

Imagine the fool advising Ndigbo to forget agitations for self-determination and instead focus on APGA! As if politics in his God-forsaken 'one Nigeria' is that simplistic!
You should be ashamed of yourself for admitting you dont have the basic wisdom to excel politically, you are afraid you will be outsmarted by your mates, hence you want to run away and be on your own with minorities who you think you can outsmart or lord over. That in my opinion is exactly what this whole Biafran shenanigan is all about; running away because you feel outsmarted. It's a shame that Igbos have been reduced to this pitiable mess.

Afam4eva:
There is no gain saying that the Igbo nation has been dealth a heavy blow by the Nigerian nation and this blow has recorded massive success only because the Nigerian nation has received unconditional support from leaders from Igboland. I'm wondering how fast things will change if we channel some of the energy that we are using to fight the FG to actually fighting the people closest to us (Our leaders). These our so called leaders are having a field day as they are not pertubed the the problems facing the zone more than they are interested in their personal aggrandizement by acting as rubber stamp for the federal governmrny. I implore youths to channel their energy to these thieves who mean no good for us. I just got into Aba some 4 hours ago and I was wondering if there is a government in this state. This state gets monthly allocation, no matter how little. What are they doing with the money if all the roads in Aba are in pitiable condition. Let's deal with this mofos and they will take our message to their ogas in Abuja.
Afam, don't bother yourself. The people championing this cause, including the educated ones have had their reasoning abilities completely obliterated by election loss hangover. There's no way you can expect these people to reason normally when their brains are already completely fried by Nnamdi Kanu propaganda and hate preaching.

Apochi said, “The crew captain is making serious confessional statement, but this is such a big break that we can’t let the details out now so as not to compromise the investigation. We have informed the oil majors operating in the area too.
“No ordinary person can put a 400 trucks capacity crude oil stealing boats on the river. This is a big break. We will get to the bottom of this and get the kingpins, working with other relevant stakeholders.”

Serious confessional statements grin

But at the end of the day, we all know how this typically ends. As long as they hide and keep hiding the identities of the crooks involved, these crooks who already have strong links with government officials will always find a way to escape arrest or prosecution. The best thing the NAVY can just do is to tell us their names now before a natural death comes to this case.

Nigeria isn't living up to 10% of its full potentials, I totally appreciate that. But I find it rather appalling when I see supposedly educated and enlightened people who should know better, making some strange analysis and adjudging a government which is still in the transitioning phase as a failure based on the most silly arguments.

If we must argue on anything about the state of the nations economy, we have to be reasonable about it instead of just making conclusions based on what I term 'okada-man' analysis. If we must appropriate blames for the present woes in our economy, the largest chunk of that blame definitely goes to the PDP that failed to save or diversify our economy even in the recent years of plenty. The new administration inherited an economy which was on a mega-speed nosedive. Expecting this downward trend to be reversed instantly in 6 transitional months, especially when oil prices are even still falling further, that is purely okada-man mentality. Some blame goes to the new administration though for their delays in forming a proper economic team; but overall, no sensible assessment can be made of the new regime's performance until at least 2 years.

Nigerians Growing Poorer For First Time Since 1999 - Businessday

Nigerians are growing poorer for the first time since the return to democracy in 1999 as an economic slowdown combines with still high population growth rates to curb income per capita. Average incomes in Nigeria will fall by about 18 percent in 2015 to $2,550 per annum, from over $3,000 in 2014.

https://businessdayonline.com/2015/11/nigerians-growing-poorer-for-first-time-since-1999/

Passingshot now who has destroyed Nigeria between PDP's 16 years and APC's 6 months?
Nigeria experienced its lowest ever GDP growth rate of 2.35% in the 2Q of 2015. At that time, the PDP and the HERO of Otuoke was still largely in-charge. Presently, the GDP has risen a little to 2.84% in the 3Q and we yet to know the average value in this 4Q.

Considering a rapid plunge of the nation's GDP growth rate from about 6% in 4Q 2014 to 2.35% in 2Q 2015, it is only a capital dunce or just a mere ignoramus that would attribute that helpless nosedive to the new administration.

So how exactly am I suppose to believe the office of the SGF when it states that budget for 2010 independence celebration was N1.7 billion?

Wasn't this the same year when it was celebrated that the budget for golden jubilee was reduced from N10bn to N6bn?

Or are the figures posted simply the fraction of the total anniversary budget which goes to the office of the SGF?

DerKaiser:
No. You need to go back to elementary school.

Benue is in the middle of Nigeria and is not a northern state. If Nigeria were to be divided into two with a line, the entirety of Benue State would go to the southern part.

The distance between the Atlantic edge of Nigeria (Delta and Akwa-Ibom States) and Benue State is shorter than the distance between Benue State and the Nigerian Border in Sokoto.

So Benue is not in the North.

But simple reasoning is an alien to most of you Nigerians.

Travel › Re: My Near Crash Experience With Arik Air Yesterday by obailala(m): 4:43pm On Nov 26, 2015
pickabeau1:
What happened with Airfrance
Paris to Lagos trip; flight computers failed just as plane plane was about to take off (lucky to still be on the ground); we taxi back to the dock; they call in engineers to fix the plane; about 3 hours later, we are still locked inside the grounded plane with engineers battling to fix it (luckily the A/C was ON unlike some Arik cases cheesy); agitations increases for them to let us out of the plane or give us some food; they say the only food they have was reserved for airborne sharing; captain of the plane who had since been silent finally speaks up but adds salt to injury by threatening those agitating to go back to their seats or face disciplinary action shocked shocked shocked angry This misguided outburst leads to increased agitations; eventually the door opens and we step out on the tarmac; Lo and behold, the tarmac was lined with heavily armed anti-riot police; many saw it as an insult that they brought policemen for us because we were black Nigerians; the shouting match continued (this time even with the quiet policemen that were even minding their business); I stepped back into the lounge and sat there another 5 hours before they managed to replace the flight. In all, my flight was delayed by almost 10 hours, we landed Lagos after 1am as against 4pm when we were meant to land.

I missed my appointments, there was no option of compensation (even though the shouting match continued by some people who were insistent they must be compensated). I didn't bother myself about the delay, or a compensation, cos in the typical African manner, I was more grateful to be alive than to be angry about the delays. grin

At the end, I re-learnt a lesson which I already knew before, "if AirFrance with a fleet size of 235 air crafts could delay me by 10 hours without an explanation or compensation even at their HQ (Charles de Gaulle), then I would be pushing my luck too far if I don't expect worse from Arik with a fleet size of 24.

Thank God for the life of the Op, bird strikes are a serious problem in the aviation industry. And as for the delays by Arik due to the cancelled flight, Arik isn't alone in that mess; Airfrance did same to me some months back and that's when I confirmed where Arik was learning this mess from.

Quit being clever by half... You have deceived yourself to the point where you now believe your own lies. The GDP growth chart you even posted above clearly shows an uncontrollable nosedive from late 2014 till mid-2015 from where it is clear that the values are bouncing back. The last time I checked, the maladministration of your hero extended to the tail end of the 2nd quarter of 2015 (which represents the worst economic performance on that chart). if you were half as intelligent as you think you were, you would have clearly seen that the image you posted invalidates your own argument. Here's a better image to show true trend of the GDP growth under your hero. After taking over a robust economy, the free-fall can clearly be seen from the general trend line since 2010.
