This story is a planted story
Sahara reporters get this kind of stories first.

Fact.
IFA commanded that peace loving outsiders be well treated in the lands of Oodua.
For centuries, an outsider has always treated as the guest of the king.
I remember growing up in a lagos with well integrated neighbours from other parts of the country and the world.
But what we have is not a few guest who you can identify, this is an invasion that the yoruba leadership have totally lost control of.
They do not know who is in yorubaland, they do not know where they come from or live.Worse of all, they do not know their fathers' houses.
This is an Abomination according to IFA opus.
I do not mind migration as long as it is reasonable.
The people suffering the consequences are the least amongst us. No one is speaking for them.

What should have been a blessing for farmers has become a problem.
Where cow dungs should be fertilisers on the land, the farmers themselves become the fertilisers after being butchered.
Only in Nigeria will this happen.
An advantage is instantly turned into a problem .
I have seen videos of thousands of cattle being herded.
Do not tell me the owners cannot afford to ranch and cultivate feeds to feed their cattle.
They should be forced to learn how to make hay.

I PREDICTED THIS CRISIS IN 2014 WHEN ALL THESE SO CALLED EXPERTS WERE SHOUTING TRANSFORMATION AGENDA AND "LARGEST" ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.
I wrote about exactly what was going to happens
I beg to disagree.
The Nigerian non-economy has always been non-existent.
Take a trip to a high brow hotel, political gathering or an international/domestic airports and you would think that Nigeria is a country full of industrialist and big corporations with all the big cars, 95% of American cannot afford, private jets and $1,000 cocktails being quashed in bars on the island.
Only Buhari or the Niger Delta militants can do Nigerians a favour.
Switch off the damn oil so that Nigerians can grow some brains.
Just like Mao and Stalin taught their people a bitter lesson in self reliance.
Shape up or starve to death.
We go through the motion of copying oyinbos like our so called democracy .
Stock market ,capital markets and all that crap.
In reality, there is a barely a trace of governance, functioning economy and all.
This is why the devaluation, revaluation or the appreciation of the currency makes no difference.
The biggest jokes
How else can you determine?
The relationship between rents and buying houses.
Those housing prices are same or more in many Nigerian cities than in many places in America,Canada and uk.
Yet you get more from renting in those 3 countries.
There you have it. An absolute disconnect.
The crap we import are not only of less quality than the equivalent bought overseas, they are also more expensive.
It is during a period of crisis that true leaders are known. Just like Pat Utomi, El Rufai, I hereby scratch Ekwesili from my list of potential presidents.

Government does not create jobs.
Citizens do.
Just create an environment which will allow the creativity and knowledge of your citizens to shine.
You cannot make an entrepreneurs, inventors, manufacturers out of those who are not.
All government need to do is the the above, security,education( emphasis on technical education), health and infrastructure.
Yes, government spending can result in Job creation.
However those jobs are created in the process of tackling the problems above.

There is nothing more dangerous than ignorance.
Only one of those interviewed has an inkling of what led to the present situation.
Another one had a basic idea of what could be done.
The rest are the typical low information uneducated (even if they are graduates) citizens.

The country is a joke.
Everyone should say a big thank you to Iweala

Bicycles.
Bicycles
Bicycles to solve traffic and transit problems

Abuja
A symbol of the waste, corruption, mismanagement and the lack of priorities that Nigeria is known for.

No be the Mumu Jonathan dumbo
Senators pad budget.
Minister and Permanent secretaries divi it up.
Senators and reps get their cut.
Minister and Perm get theirs
Director play around with the rest.
They created invoices for good and services not supplied
Dumbo does not care cos he has NNPC, CBN and port authority to loot.

Eff off woman.
This woman increased poverty in the midst of plenty during a boom.

tete7000:
The fact that we don't have infrastructure is not a testimony that money was not budgeted for them. It is simply because the money were mismanaged. We all need to save to absorb the shocks of flunctuation in life. The governors colluded to share our excess crude account in the name of infrastructural development but today no infrastructure and no money and yet they can't run their states. They were given loans (bail out) out of the money left but imagine what life would have been without the saving. So we can't say that because of some indolent people we won't save. Saving is necessary in face of uncertainty and fluctuations in future life.

What budget?
All those senseless proposals
Budget full of Fences and pit latrines which were never built.
Is this what you call investment?
For the first time in a very long time, Buhari's budget is the closest to a budget built to actually solve problems.
Previously the job of a budget was turn over to the FEC( federal executive council) which was nothing but a contract "Kola" sharing bazaar.

Nonsense.
What difference does their nationality make.
People are being murdered and rendered destitute.
They are a mix of Nigerians and their cousins from other western countries

tete7000:
,

So personally you don't make any saving? You claimed Obasanjo didn't invest the money, it doesn't occur to you that government run budget and it is after all budgetary spendings have been done that excess is saved? What is budget about if not for developing infrastructure? You probably are one of those who eat with their ten fingers. If we make you a governor, you will end up like Aregbesola who ran the state coffer dry spending on frivolous projects forgetting there are going to be days when income will be in shortfall.

What are you saving for?
To pay salaries to indolent civil servants in the future.
Meanwhile, the whole country suffers from the lack of the most basic stuffs known to humanity.
You do not save if you are Nigeria,
You invest.
Peter Obi said that he saved when he governor.
inflation and devaluation destroyed that saving.
Meanwhile, lagos is earning money from the lekki bridge.
Norway can afford to save
Saudi Arabia can afford to save
Qatar can
Nigeria cannot.

Government is sweet

No die is cast.
Na person dey do person.
Are these not the bulk of Saraki support?
These guys are absolutely corrupt.
Spray dollars in front of these guys and you will see them chasing loot.
Enugu governor Is already flexing with his colleagues.

The day their more sensible apolitical folks say enough is enough is the day we will start getting somewhere.
You ever wonder why it is when they are out of government they start shouting RESTRUCTURING.

hotwax:
He Never saw anything. He is a tool for destabilizing NIgeria just like Yusuf, founder of boko-haram.

True

Adminisher:
What is SBM Intelligence and why are most people commenting on this thread not using their "intelligence ".
Be careful some people are manipulating things

They are affiliated to stratfor
Good enough for me in the absence of any explanation from the government.

A mod modified and lock me out of my own thread.

Ejemehn:
Nothing to prove these were same men involved in Agatu killing. This video could as well be an old BokoHHaram video. Look closely towards the end they approached a desert-like area and the river could be lake chad.

No evidence that it's Agatu and we should be careful how we inform or misinform

What does it not proves
Unless agatu did not happen.
The name of the organisation is given. You can visit there websites. The guys in the video were talking. Hopefully someone will interpret what they are saying soon

iflywithbuhari:
Focus on the issue at hand,or get out of this thread

The matter at hand is that it is a rainy day fund. It is raining right now.
By the way, I am from the Bola Tinubu school of thought who opposed this account from the start.
Only fools save money underneath the mattress while their homes burn.
Obasanjo should have invested the money into Nigeria.
Uninterrupted Power, roads, trains, modern agriculture and aggressive trade policy would have been enough to move us away from a petrol state.
Lagos, ogun and oyo invested a lot and that is why they are providing the bulk of federal income today

From $22 billion, Jonathan squandered all the saving made my Obasanjo.
The worst of all is that he completely destroyed the fiscal stability of the country.

Political crap from a corrupt anti-omoluabi opportunist.
How and when did fulani herdsmen's terrorism become a matter of bailout.
It seems that he has exhausted the dollars given to him by jonathan. Odumakin is looking for an outlet to remain relevant.

This video was made on the morning of the Agatu attack, by one of the attackers. The same man took part in the Logo attack two weeks later where he was killed and the video was found on a mobile phone retrieved from his body.

You can visit their website to get more information and background into what has superceded Boko haram as the biggest existential threat to the country.
these guys are terrorists simple.

Pointed.
Crime without punishment.

My guess is that some of these herdsmen are element of those causing trouble in Central African Republic.

antispexish:
they should have started already


the companies will probably not do so cus
1. dnt think companies can force you in the decision of your mode of transport after or before work.

2. not all workers of same area close same time or live in same area.
3. Most companies have staff less than 10, staff bus is not an option
4. companies will rather spend money to find parking space than reduce it.


if that where posSible, some would have tried it, in nigeria, you must be at your station before oga arrives.


not everywhere can be a business district, geography and geo politics wunt allow that.
look at NYC and compare it to the state.


actually it's like 15 to 20 mins, ikorodu to the jetty is like 30 mins, the jetty at ajaH to lekki express is like 15 mins.

The water transport might help, but it wunt totally solve it
1. storm issues
2. nigerians and superstition issues
3. night time issues,( it's totally totally dark at night)



the political situation in naija will not allow too much thinking outside the box. He did not get their by himself alone, he needs to provide contracts for those useless people. And they wunt take small contracts that wunt bring big money.
Secondly, due to too many years of underdevelopment, nigerians only see a governor who does white elephant projects as the one performing.
In 2019, will you vote for Ambode cus he solved transportation problem?, no, but they will vote for him cus he built the 4th mainland bridge, even if the traffic problems continue

This is exactly why I called it an O-try project.

The idea that we use privately owned cars to shift the massive bulk of people around a city seems utterly absurd to me

Dan Hill

You do not train a people to respect lives and other people's property.
It is a part of cultural/ societal psyche and upbringing.

Believe in Nigeria ko.
How can you build a country under the siege of lawlessness.
It not gonna happen.
That is why the entire north is in conflict.
Remove the feeding bottle from the south and the whole place will become he'll on earth.

I predicted this 2 years ago when they were shouting transformation agenda all over the place in a country with a dysfunctional, graft infested non-economy
Who suffers ftom the inflationary effects?
The poor people without government job.

NUPENG is full of overpaid loafers

You can see what is important to these guys in spite of the insecurity in the land
