Agboriotejoye:
The op was responding to the narrative pushed by a government functionary who sought to turn facts on his head by employing the narrative that APC have overall done better than PDP in the management of the economy. That's the crux of the argument he's trying to make. For example, when he says Nigeria was earning over 100 per barrel through the years of the PDP, he conveniently leaves out the fact that between 2006-2008, the Niger Delta militancy was at its peak. Oil production was also low then yet, ECA grew.
ECA is a function of oil price. It is excess crude account. Before a govt proposes budget benchmark for crude price, they sit down and calculate the projected BPD for the year. It is based on that they give a benchmark price and excess on the price is moved to the ECA.
Don't get it twisted, this is not the first time oil price is exceeding the benchmark price in this administration.
Between 2018-2019, oil price also exceeded the benchmark price yet the ECA did not grow. Go check it out.

Agboriotejoye:
Like I said, we are doing comparative analysis here. No one asked PDP govt to create ECA. OBJ did it of his own initiative based on the unsavoury experience he had with Western leaders when pursuing debt relief and also the examples from UAE and Saudi's wealth fund investments. When Yaradua took over, Nigeria's crude oil production was abysmally low due to the Niger Delta crisis. The crisis was threatening to even send IOCs out of Nigeria. He went about solving the crisis and returning confidence in the investors. That's how govt should work. Solving problems. So many oil wells in Nigeria are dormant now, not even because of Niger Delta crisis but because of the obnoxious offshore bill signed in 2020. It has led to IOCs divesting seriously from Nigeria. A good number of them have moved to Angola.
So when you raise the point of oil production level, you should be patient enough to find out why exactly that is and why this govt is unable to resolve it. Without doing that, you're making excuses for the govt.

israelmao:
Did Ajuri mention that Buhari administration has made N9trn in subsidy payment in 7years some of which was unjustified according to stated facts?This is the same Buhari who referred to subsidy fuel payment as a fraud to prior his election as a democratic president.Big oil thieves are having field a day with collusion of some political elites in this administration and you expect ECA's growth?

Agboriotejoye:
You see what I'm saying?
More excuses. APC govt does not believe in solving problems. They are only good at highlighting it. May I ask whose responsibilities it is to ensure we produce as much crude as we should?

israelmao:
Did facts stated take away Ajuri's misrepresentation of facts?Because your questions seem to be finding a soft landing or excuses for Buhari's economic blunders.

Classickj:
at least you will be able to control the situation

mrvitalis:
This guy is Funny
The highest PDP was spending on subsidy was 1.6 trillion ...yet APC is spending 6.6 trillion and yet this one has mouth to talk ?

Did this guy just lie we spent just 2 billion dollars on subsidy ? Subsidy cost for 2021 was over 12 billion dollars and yet this one has mouth to talk ?

Excess crude account ? Oil has been selling above bench mark yet zero cent was added to the excess crude account instead it reduces


When they gather APC zombies like this and feed them this lies let them make sure that it doesn't leak out to the public honestly ....some of us get sense ooh

A Twitter user has shared the story of how his neighbor was recently arrested after the lady he brought home passed out while they were
having sex.

The Twitter user @josh_uglyasf stated that the man boasts about changing women a lot, and all advice given to him to stop having sex with multiple partners fell on deaf ears.
Recently, the said man brought a lady home who unknown to him is asthmatic. While they were having sex, the young lady passed out.

The police were invited and were able to remove the unconscious lady from his apartment after which they took the man into custody.

Read the story below...

Am well educated my dear i don't read people's comment before i post, what is nepotism that one can not redefine?

Nwaotu10:
All northerners. Nepotism has destroyed this kwontri.

havenz:
16 trillion grant to one part of the country, Buhari is evil and full of nepotistic character.

I can't wait for Buhari administration and the whole of APC to rest in exile.

The "scanty" story establishes a prima facie case... A man whose picture is produced with such (defiant) expression after the fact... who goes to a female's house (much physically weaker) to stab her to death.. no talk of the lady being the aggressor.. you really have to engage your imagination to even consider the possibility of his innocence...

sonofElElyon:
No ! Why assume the man could have been acting on self defence when the story clearly said he came to the victim's house with a knife and forced his way to her room where he killed her Clearly this was not a case of self defence and the original story showed this... the killer was the aggressor from the get go.. sorry but you did not comprehend the story; its ramifications and implications

A Chinese man entered a House and stabbed their daughter (Ummita) to death, in Janbula area Kano State.

Imagine coming to their country, their state, in their house & killed her. If a Nigerian do this in China, their govt will deny Nigerians visa to China.

sonofElElyon:
Smart guy.. you bolded a part of my comment but ignored the latter part which doesn't favour you... issokay

sonofElElyon:
This story in this thread has enough information to show it was not a killing done in self defence and therefore unjustifiable... that's the point. The only killing that can be justified under the law is one done in self defence and there must be a real threat to the life of the one who kills from the one who is killed...

sonofElElyon:
You don't know the meaning of self defence... or you are accusing the op of embellishing the facts because it was not stated that the lady tried to kill him which led to him fighting back to save his life.. you are the one assuming the unsuggested and unstated. The killer went with a knife to the victim's house for crying out loud!

Check the eye witness account given by victim's mother below

GreyLaw:
Murder has never and can never be justified!

If you don't know the definition of terms, kindly find out. It helps you not look silly on public forums. Murder and Manslughter are two different thing!

Again, Murder is never justifiable.

sonofElElyon:
So is this particular case one of self defence? Did you read the story at all ? Was his life in danger at that material time ? Answer is no.. it was not a necessary act to preserve his life.. he could've gone to the police to report any crime (if any) by the deceased against him... no justification..

sonofElElyon:
So we should all resort to self help Would you be alive if your "motion" were to be "adopted"
What of the possibility of revengers acting under a wrong impression
Yours is a recipe for anarchy and complete breakdown of law and order

sonofElElyon:
And that justifies murder
Your post really sucks !!!

Anigreat:



All thanks to Tinubu, a very big thanks to him.

This is a man some føolish idiotic nonentities believed and think that Nigerians will vote for so that he can continue with his oppressive rule. Funny enough, the law makers and enforcers are the ones breaking the laws more in Lagos. Till they obey the law they make themselves, will I take them serious.

Atleast there should have been a warning given to defaulters by paying a little amount of money , but no, it's total seizing of their cars and auctioning it at ridiculous amount, so that poor people will Continue to suffer endlessly.

Agbadorian can only be president of Iragbiji not Nigeria, Incase he needs my vote to be life president of Iragbiji community, I am ready to vote him.

This man is a bloody scammer ...

Same obi that support IPOB and Simeon Ekpa



Any way we all know he will lose gallantry .. but the votes he gets determines how many imps and fools in Nigeria

Imagine nonsense

Rozross:
One outstanding thing about keyamo is his ability to speak Truth at all times. Peter Obi should truly be on a watchlist . In a sanner clime Obi would be cooling his head in prison for all he did in anambra but here he is with guts to contest an election.
