Why is the PDP kicking the air like an angry frustrated He-goat over a policy meant to protect the naira?? Is it because you are stuck with your stashed dollars??

The game is up! All the cash u guys looted is trapped now in your vaults at home. All of you have no option than to take it to the parallel market to change. This will go a long way in stabilising the naira and making it stronger in the parallel market.

You may decide to leave it at home and do a gamble on who will get the dollars first btw:

- dare devil robbers, who can sniff dollars from miles away.

- Police, DSS and EFCC who has been given renewed vigour by PMB and eager to please him by looking for any opportunity to catch anyone catchable.

-wayward children, who will steal it to live a high life that may cause their death.

- evil domestic staff, who are ready to behead and strangle anyone even if it's just for one $100 bill

If u guys try anything funny by trying to smuggle the cash out; woe betide anyone Buhari catches. By then, I hope their silly supporters on nairaland will not come and cry 'witch-hunt'

Now it seems i'm beginning to like Emefiele.

Omenka, what could be done to stem this?

[s]The worst damage of Buhari’s governance is a total disconnection with both his subordinates in the government, party colleagues, and the masses

Governmental events in Nigeria is swiftly drawing the country closer to unrestrained anarchy. In world’s political history, Nigeria has now becomes the only country where an elected President ferociously assumed the position of the Vice President, Chief Prosecutor, Prison Director, Chief Judge, Petroleum Chief – then sits down on the constitution with unchallenged authority, undermining the powers of other segments of the government.

President Muhammadu Buhari’s current turbulent marriage with Nigeria is not new, and in fact represents a bizarre homecoming. As an army major general, Buhari dealt with Nigerians as a dictator from 1983 through 1985 in a nightmarish retributive rule, where he projected himself like a Roman god and ruled like the Taliban.

He relied heavily on decrees and special tribunals to regulate communal life and chastised a selection of law offenders with a killer- axe. Subjective orders and decrees were his only governance tools, and as of July 1984, Buhari had promulgated as much as twenty-two decrees, radiating widespread controversies and international condemnation. He subjugated the judiciary with special military tribunals, whereas the state security agency, the National Security Organization, was accorded greater powers. These were in the mid-80s.

Today, over two months in office, Buhari has not changed, and might have even gotten worse. He has assumed a dictatorship role, and deceitfully claimed to be too busy to name a working team. Yet, he had the time to make multiple trips to countries in Europe, America, and Africa, bringing back no development strategies but stacks of photo albums for image campaign.

Worse, this President while undermining the constitutional process, single handedly made key appointments, including a restructure of his nation’s intelligence and military system. He had ordered several arrests of presumably past political foes, and commandingly moved detained terror-suspects on trial around different prisons outside their judicial precincts. He has no clue about how to handle a democracy, but sits down in an undisclosed secluded government location and issued orders by the hours.

The worst damage of Buhari’s approach to issues of governance is a total disconnection with both his subordinates in the government, party colleagues, and the masses. Buhari has remained the only arm of the system, whereas his supporters chokingly struggle in the social media to defend a regime that jumpstarted into action without any platform. Consequently, the Sai-Buhari mantra has totally died in the public domain leaving only a few voices who stood back to save face.

Nigeria is not looking too good at the moment, and the truth is that the regime has been busy celebrating failures and lying to the masses about the disconnection of their Commander-in-Chief with both his subordinates and the masses: his sightlessness to issues of governance, including a total disrespect to the rule of law. The worst failure is a failure before a beginning and Buhari has demonstrated that ineptitude. As a remedy, the new leader may consider, as a beginning, reconciling issues with his first major obstacle – himself.

Coca-Cola and NBL only heavy industries in the East?.You really should keep quiet when it comes to Eastern affairs,what you know can fit on the head of a pin and still have space left.

asha80:
I doubt that guy has been back in igboland in a long long time with that no industry line..if he said inadequate to cater the millions then I agree but saying no industries shows ignorance at its peak

shachris:
and who are the people that constitute the country If not you and I? Anytime we are serious about addressing the issues that Nigeria is bedeviled with, Nigeria would work then.

The probable Igbo nation’s leaders are the present day governors, senators, National
Assembly members, etc. Your guess is as good
as mine on their capabilities. Let’s be sincere
with ourselves, in the 16 years of PDP
government in Nigeria the only position Igbos
did not hold was just the Presidency.

We have had about five Senate Presidents, Deputy Senate President, Deputy Speaker, the Army chief, Immigration boss, the Prisons boss, Central Bank governor, ministers in key ministries of Power, Finance, Education, Petroleum, and Health. What has Igboland got to show for these positions other than installation of one chieftaincy title or the other?

As much as the majority of our complaint are genuine, we are part of the problem as well.

Another day, another whining.
So irritating.

These politicians, from Ohanaeze and the rest of
them are wailing not for the igbo people but for
their private pockets.

How much good did all the appointments they
had under jonathan bring to the entire region??

What exactly did Ekweremadu and Ihedioha do
for the people of the SE in 8years as presiding
officers??

What did David Mark achieve for the people of
Otukpo, let alone the middle belt, in 8years as
senate president?? We have seen pics of a police
station close to his house and have seen pictures
of his house- we know the difference- a house
with a rooftop helipad upon which was
graciously perched a private helicopter (of
course he can hardly drive around in those
roads in Otukpo), and a Rolls Royce Phantom
parked just at the foot of his corridor, probably
to take him to his private gulf course close to his
house.

These are the sort of things these men use their
positions to do and not to better the lives of the
average or poor nigerians. Yet when it appears
they've been excluded from invitation to dinner,
they wail all over the place, whipping up ethnic
and religious sentiments, and gullible Nigerians
like most of the posters above me and others to
come behind me foolishly elevate the pitch of
their cries to high heavens.
I pity all of una.

And if that is the case, we will now be a landlocked nation, surrounded on every corner by Nigeria. Do we even have enough space for everyone coming back? My mind runs back to chaotic situations during Christmas and festive periods. Let no one deceive you, life will be pretty more difficult economically than we might imagine. And because there are no industries in Igboland, even our “traders” will have to pay the only country surrounding us to bring in goods. There needs to be collective and intelligent thinking here.

Flyoruboy:
LOL. Guy, you are a jobless maggot. And your Yoruphobia will lead to your untimely death if you don't change course. Like I did in the other thread that spurned this one, your foolishness will still not change the fact that the SW adds the most to Nigeria's non-oil sector of the economy.
Imagine, you are using Ghana's figures to dispute Nigeria's own figures as quoted by GEJ's former Agric Mininster? ? Na so your hatred reach.

According to Adesina the former Agric Minister, Nigeria exported $10billion dollars worth of Cocoa last year (http://businessdayonline.com/2014/11/nigeria-exports-10bn-raw-cocoa-annually). More than 90% of that revenue emanated from the SW. That doesn't include other Agric export earnings (from Tobacco, Cashew, e.t.c) contributed by the region and generated as revenue for the Federal government. Now include the revenue generated from the air and seaports, as well as customs border posts, running into additional billions of dollars, all generated from the SW, also goes into the federal coffers -- and the region doesn't even receive any "13% derivation" from these earnings as the Niger Delta does on Oil revenue. The South West states currently receive more allocations from the center than the SE states simply coz they contribute more to the national commonwealth, simple. Can you present to me any verifiable data of the SE contribution to the the Nigerian commonwealth?

Every intelligent person knows that SW Nigeria, besides the enormous contribution it already making to the commonwealth, is a geological freak of nature in comparison to other regions in terms of untapped reserves of verifiable commercial quantity mineral resources with the potential of making the region one of the richest in Africa, if not the world -- http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/the-case-for-solid-minerals-development/215779/.

Thank God again that Buhari has promised to accelerate the diversification of the economy all thanks to the oil slump (which is forecasted to persist into the foreseable future), finally we will hear word and know who the real parasites are without oil dependence.

Guy, I warn you though that if you continue on this your bad-belle path then your premature death will be certain. I know nothing would gladen your heart more than to believe your own fables about Yoruba dependence on oil money than other groups in Nigeria. You are still yet to answer my question about whether or not your own South East can survive without allocation, and you are cleverly refusing to tell us your SE contributions to the Nigerian commonwealth that can come close to rivaling the Yorubas'.

Again, I advice that you had better take it easy with your Yoruba obsession.

shachris02:
Please, next time, don't insult all igbos. Just a gullible few of us that are giving the impression that igbos are as you have described.

abduljabbar4:
See what pdp has done to itself? Produce his party membership card or shut up. Simple.
Even the chief wailer knows that pdp was a great liar and it is dead and buried.

Am fine brother. You know prior to election, so many accusations came up accusing bubu of been a tribal bigot an so far his words and actions has proven that hr really is. You are here on this forum, you know there's no unity in Nigeria, his statement bout 97% this and 5% that wasn't cool to be honest with you.
The constitution stipulate that federal appointment should be based on federal character. Personnaly I wasn't complaining bout the whole thing until the service chiefs appointment came up and it was all bout north. If gej would ve done the same, you know na, it would ve been a different thing entirely. 5 service chiefs plus NSA should ve gone to the six geo political zone.

Remember, gej NSA, ADC chief of defence and minister for defence all came from the north that dint vote for him, they north that gave bubu 12 million vote 2011.
He is the president of all Nigerians so for the sake of good governance, democracy and above all, justice and equal right for all bring all part along even though some dint vote for him. Thank you.

uncleinans:
I just saw the guys profile pics. He looks like my lectura way back in school. If he's truly the son of my lecturer who's name is Omenka, former commissioner under Suswam then I think something is wrong somewhere because Omenka my lecturas those days in bsu doesn't sound like this. Omenka was one of the best lectura way back in bsu. He is Igede.
