With apparent disenchantment of majority of Nigerians with Buhari's rule and the 2019 elections fast approaching, the seeming option left for APC is outright rigging of the polls having failed to deliver on its many promises. However, rigging elections in Nigeria does not comeby so easily, it involves lots and lots of money. This now brings the question why an administration that scored itself high in "technically defeating" Boko haram is suddenly seeking the sum of whopping N360b to fight a defeated enemy. The President in his recent public statement described Boko haram latest attacks as acts of a massively degraded sect. On what basis is the APC govt spending such huge amount on a demystified sect? What happened to the various allocations for the same course in the 2015, 2016 and 2017 budgets? The answer to this is not farfetched; the $1b warchest may be the lifeline needed to smuggle Buhari back to power in 2019 through the backdoor. The world is watching.

In order words the ressurgence of Boko haram of recent was carefully ochestrated by symphatisers of the sect in APC as a decoy to amass enough money to prosecute Buhari's 2019 election. It's now glaring that APC is behind Boko haram. Heaven will punish all of you and your children.

I concur 100%. With the Babachir IDP fraud, Maina conspiracy and N50b NNPC TSA exemption, these funds are been accumulated to fund Buhari's 2019 election but heaven would stop him.

Bunch of fraudulent people. Why is NNPC been partially excluded from the TSA after the administration's claim of success story in its implementation? This simply means NNPC is still a cash cow in this 'saintly' govt. Stealing by Trick.

NLbully:
That's why he can't spell "Production" right

Are you a confirmed dullard? Can't you see he deliberately spelt it that way just to make the caption more eye-catching and enticing? I tire for you.

life2017:
He is upright on a relative scale. Everything in politics must be seen from before and now. Compare and contrast.

You're very funny Even in terms of relativity, Buhari would not score 3 in an uprightness index of 10 . While the day-to-day ordinary politician would not hide his corrupt tendencies, Buhari's mastery of pretence is legendary. He's an hyena in sheep cloth.

life2017:
Read my post carefully. I clearly acknowledge without Buhari, APC will be exact thing as PDP.

but we must acknowledge the difference in both which is Buhari. People working with Buhari are still stealing. We know that. But the level of stealing has reduced because they are not enjoying free hand the way it use to be in the past. That is progress. We can move forward from there.

If after all these revelations about Buhari's double-facedness and alarming falsehood in the last 2 years, you still take him as an upright person, then your education and moral values are rubbles.

Is it not an irony that a president that sanctioned secret return of an acclaimed looter and furgitive (Maina) would have the gut to accuse others of corruption. At the age of 74 does Buhari still have any iota of concience at all? Why is this man unrepentantly pretentious and evil? Surely, Buhari doesn't have integrity. Such a liar and master of deceit.

mrvitalis:
Lol reserve is not really calculated by how much you have but how long can that last

$5bn reserve can be good if your import bill is $200milion

A $200bn can be bad if your import bills are over $50bn a month

Jonathan left $28bn with an import bill of 5.5bn that's a a nearly death trap

We are luck oil price went up ooh

Nonsense again. Can you tell Nigerians the 'import bill' left behind with a reserve of less than $5 in 1998 by the military? Wiy do you guys like to bring follies into your arguements when taken to the cleaners? Hinging and excusing dismal performance on 'lack of savings' is an act of irresponsibility by Buhari's govt and its supporters.

dheilaw1:
PDP has no moral justification to Say this because the looting that was perpetrated under it's 16 years watch is the reason Nigeria is this mess. Nigeria would have collapsed if not for Buhari. pdp and it's cohorts can only try, but will never come back to rule this country.

Buhari and APC have caused more damage to Nigeria than PDP's 16 years of rulership. Death, poverty, nepotism, deceit, clandestine fraud have never been this pronounced in the history of this nation.

Macnnoli4:
PDP did not save enough and put economy stabilizing structures in the good days while APC did not even plan for the bad days thinking everything will be as smooth as always,there resulting into some economic issues

How much did the military 'save' for the country at its exit 1998? All these rethoric of PDP not saving enough in its 16-year rule is nothing but Buhari and APC propaganda.

mrvitalis:
Yes we agree but the question is who is responsible

If we had a reserve like other sensible oil producers we won't be here today

You let a reserve that can't even last 3 months (who the hell does that ) after boom in oil

No infrastructure no development and no entrepreneurship brooding on import substitution or export oriented business

Now you come and say this rubbish

Don't come here and tell me imaginary investors took out their forex because of Buhari (all big companies we know never did anything different )


Soludo or Sanusi should better join politics and fix their father land

Or the young vibrate deputy md of Uba ( that guy is super human with economis ) we need people who can attack problems

Arrant nonsense!!! Nigeria's reserve was less than $5b when PDP took over from the military in 1998 but the party did not embark on a voyage of blame game.
Buhari wasted the morey inherited on fruitless oil exploration in the north.

edoman2016:
APC is still better than PDP anytime. We know things are not quite rosy presently as promised by Buhari.

But we still believe in him and trust him. We can never forget how PDP looted the Treasury of this country massively for 16 years.

Speak for yourself and stop using the word 'we'. Raise up your hand and swear that monunental looting is not happeoing under Buhari's hypocritical and nepotistic govt.

DBlackCeazer:
'Joshua is just static, not doing much. '

I am sure you're watching it on black and white TV. Anyway AJ has stopped Takam in round 10. Another TKO.

tycoon3:
AJ's height is an advantage; Just riding that Carlos guy

Joshua won all the 6 rounds so far. Takam can only win by KO but God forbid.

koolaid87:
This is the last round

I don't think so. The Takam guy is very resistive and stoutly built. Hope AJ doesn't tire out.

toygod2:
Please which station or channel is showing the match

It's on NTA. Free of charge. FOC.

MalcoImX:
This Buhariphobic propagandist is out of point.

To hell with your interpretation. He's only saying Buhari and APC are the greatest scam in the history of mankind.

aolawale025:
Apologise yes. But I guess she still stands by her statement

Ofcourse she does. They're just doing some damage controls.

These shameless entities think they can fool Nigerians. Apology or no apology, timing or no timing, the message has been resoundly passed. For someone that enjoyed tactical support of Buhari in 2015 (even at the tribunal) to turn against him in 2017 simply shows how unmarketable the President has glaringly become. No amount of rethorical padding can change the narrative.

We must all prevent APC and BUHARI from entrenching the cultures of lies and deceit in Nigeria.

Daplux4:
You said it all, buhari never believed he will be president all he was doing was trying fortunately he became president, why I said so buhari started to aspire for president since 2003, 12yrs after he becomes president and it took him 6 months to name a cabinet that is no 1 unprepared.

What baffles me is the extent at which his government tells lie just to cover up their ineptitude and crass incompetence. So devilish.

Adminisher:
You need to be psychologically affected by the war against corruption to be saying this. Are you corrupt?.
Do you have family or tribe members who are corrupt?

APC did not blame recession on CORRUPTION !!!

Recession was caused by having a dumb President who did not use HIGH OIL prices to diversify the economy from oil and unfortunately the oil prices later CRASHED.

Corruption made the recession (which would have come anyway due to Jonathan's policies) worse but it was not the main cause of recession. Jonathan was not even able to collect taxes ...unbelieveable. Nigeria also lost a lot of money to corruption which is almost $400bn

If we don't diversify the economy today and oil prices get high we might have 8% growth again and if the price is high enough maybe corruption effect won't be that high then we will become STUPID again.

APC LYING LIAR. They always told us that corruption led Nigeria to reccession.

obonujoker:
The problem is how do we take this message to the illiterate many in the farthermost parts of Nigeria, because they will do the bulk of voting...

Literate and learned Nigerians will never vote for APC with buhari candidate, unless another person takes over from him, let's say,Osibanjo.....

However the many illiterates, will be swayed in mosques and church using the religion weapon....

How can we pass the message down to these people that Buhari is a big shitty failure, and make sure they know why they are voting...

It's a bit difficult because APC and Buhari are masters of deceit but Heaven will handle it. They have their accomplices all over the media and every other place. God will take control at the appropriate time.

[quote author=doctokwus post=60158783]You're not completely right on this. The same NBS that proclaimed recession some months ago is the one now telling us otherwise. It's still the same govt agency with the same personnel. If corruption has not abated in Nigeria then it couldn't have been responrible for reccession in the first instance. APC is falsehond personified.

Nbote:
U didn't need a soothsayer to know though it would actually take deliverance for zombies to see it. D same govt dat restricted forex and created a scarcity eventually and till now is still pumping dollars into d forex market by force. D same govt dat keeps coming up with thoughtless policies only to go back on dem almost immediately. D reasonable ones actually knew.. D dumb ones still scream corruption at d top of their voices till date

You're absolutely spot on. Imagine a govt giving out different exchange rates to pilgrims, importers of essential goods and other forex users turning around to blame PDP or corruption for reccession. That can only happen in Nigeria.

smartty68:
My Brother "The Out Of Recession Indices" is a scam believe it or not

Manipulated figures

Friend, whether the NBS new claim is real or not, the fact that we're told the country is out of reccession less than 18 months after its herald simply shows that APC has been lying to Nigerians. Corruption has little to do with the reccession but APC cum Buhari's naivety and unprepareness in governance.

At virtually every forum and slight opportunity the govenment of Buhari through its spokepersons and image launderers had always cited corruption in the last administration as the main factor responsible for Nigeria sliding into recession. Now that the country has officially crept out of the doldrum within a spate of 18 months with corruption indices still on the upward trend, can we still attribute the recession to corruption? Contrary to the govt's claims, the inability of Buhari to form a cabinet 6 months after inauguration, multiple exchange rates, banning and unbanning of essential commodities and flipflop in economic policies were the major causative factors for the recession. With the govt now seemingly navigating through its learning curve, eschewing trial and error governance, reversing its own thoughtless and obnoxious policies, it was just a matter of time before the anomaly of post 2015 reversed itself, hence the 0.55% GDP growth.

989900:
The direction is good, but the speed is slow . . . the enemies of progress aplenty.

Dude, this govt is the greatest enemy to itself. Nigeria went into recession largely because of the 6 months wasted on assumption of office contrary to their claims of corruption and plummetting oil price. The multiple exchange rates and banning of 41 imported items; all contributed to the recession in the first place. This latest development shouln't be a surprise since the govt is gradually coming to its senses by reversing its own obnoxious policies.

michoim:
PDP is never honest in their life. It is an allegation involving N10bn, where did PDP hear of N120bn , they are now quoting. This was aired live on channels tv.

You are too dull. N10b in 12 months equals N120b. Do you need a Lacombe's for such simple arithmetic?
