Oil is a gift that would have helped to leapfrog this nation into one of the world's most industrialized countries, had it been that the old generation was visionary in their thinking and if they were patriotic.

Right now all we need is to focus on our strength which is our people. We need to invest more on human capital and then utilize what we got to get what we want.
We got good land, so we focus on agriculture for domestic use and export. Throw challenges to the states on agriculture.
We got mineral resources.
We got good sunlight.
We got fantastic tourist attractions that needs to be developed to world standard.
We got creative youths into entertainment in movies and music.
We got beautiful ladies to attract businesses once they appear as Nigerians. Others can't be using our girls as models to promote their country image.
We got rich custumes and culture and festivals that needs to be developed to attract foreigners.

That look means the man must be an obedient servant for 29 good years of his life.

He should move to America that's where you have 'em plenty confirmed life bachelors. There nobody will call him out for being single.

That serves them right, why are Ibos the only people moving all over Nigeria and developing those places.
Since they've refused to learn from history. Whatever happens to these ones they should blame themselves.

Say no to violence.

But the other guy bad gan. So he was "Broking" your wife in a car at midnight?na wah for wives nowadays.

I am dying to hear the woman's explanation on what she(a married woman)was doing with another man that late in his car.

On a lighter note,why do all married ibo men have cutlasses at home?do they keep it handy because they expect their wives to cheat?so that it can come in handy when they want to administer justice?

Most stories concerning eastern women with infidelity,usually ends up with a cutlass" miraculously" appearing and their husbands cutting them up.

We have read of them killing their wives in Germany,The UK and especially in Texas in the U.S. on grounds of infidelity and they all love using Cutlass even outside Nigeria.

NO, they keep it just in case a mad dog runs into your room, you behead it. On a lighter note.

This is the mother of all looting. She is indeed a disgrace to womanhood and a let down to the trust reposed in her as the first ever female petroleum minister. She is a shameless thief a rogue, and they said she was in top management in SHELL, how come.

After all the recoveries of her ill gotten wealth Uk must extradite her so all Nigerians can deal with her in our own way.
Haba, she was looting with anger. I think she wasn't acting alone.

The only thing I can tell any Igbo man still living in the North is that how many times will something do you before you learn a lesson. A threat has been issued no matter what their leaders are saying to douse the matter they will still kill at the slightest provocation. Human life is worthless to them. Not a single person is going to be arrested for this senseless threat.

I dont know what type of money you are making there it is not worth your life and that of your loved ones. Run for your life, go home you will survive. We are at the dawn of a new day, it shall not be long.

The amount of time this government spends in coming up with their crooked propaganda, if they channel that to real governance activities it would have been better. So clueless a government that dont even know how to keep up their own game.

Let us even assume that all the whistle blowing drama is true, by this action have they not destroyed the exercise? So if someone blows a whistle and it turns out to be false this is what they will subject the person to, then who will ever blow a whistle again. The whole thing just looks like a Nollywood script. The victim on TV looks like hr was acting out a script. SMH

One correct guy would have landed that green bottle on his head so he can understand that there is hunger in the land. After been used to impoverish the people he is dancing.

How did we get to this point, and to recall that these are the quality of ministers Bubu wasted our precious time for seven months to produce. How can a minister of finance with access to all financial information at her finger tips be making such comments on TV. How can you be thinking rather than assuring us that based on the available metrics by so and so time recession will end. You come on TV to talk like a joker. SMH for you minister indeed.

This is a bad signal, when banks were mass sacking the minister intervened and begged them to halt as a face saving for the government, Now that the national leader could not get a life line from AMCON to keep their staff at least to show that in spite of all they were still able to pay salary upon the fact that prof is the acting presido he could not intervene. The conclusion now for me is that there is a deeper problem in this govt than meets the ordinary eyes.

It is good let him go there, in so far that they have refused to disclose his ailments, people must keep off from him and nobody's child will be sent to go and present bouquet's whenver he returns because we don't know if it's a contagious ailment, no handshakes until they call the name of his disease.

It does not cost anything really to be a good leader other than a sincere and penitent heart to render a selfless service. When I sit back and study this APC led govt I am convinced we have succeeded in wasting four solid years of our national history. Two years have gone by without any tangible landmark achievements other than blaming the former administration and when you look at the composition of the present government 90% of the ministers even the senate president were from the PDP government where they all served two terms each. So who are they referring to as corrupt. Amaechi, Tambuwal, Ngige, just name them and tell me which one is holy, nineteen of them from PDP.

Out of the two years spent seven months were spent searching for saints as ministers, today we have seen the type of saints bubu has found for Nigeria. As it is now they have just six months left to fulfil their campaign promises because after that conventions will begin and everything will be geared towards 2019, even the VP broadcast on democracy day was bereft of any concrete plans other than empty promises as usual. They say they are using whistle blower to pick money everywhere yet not a single person has been convicted, what type of marauders are this, the same old conspiracy theory used from the beginning they are still applying it.

Definitely, the only thing the APC government is banking on now is to continue to use propaganda to deceive the people, they have failed woefully. The PDP government never had to blame the military long rule before they hit the ground running, they had a roadmap but look at these guys. They have succeeded in wrecking the economy and rather than take ownership they are shamelessly looking for who to blame.

For me I believe it has a reached a point where Nigeria has gotten to the brinks of collapse and either of two choices lay before us, either we agree to part peacefully or an entire restructure of the federalism system. People should go to their geographical zones and put on their thinking caps and come up with a survival strategy and not to cling on to a parasitic federation.

It's normal...

Hausa"s , there's nothing they won't do for power including covering up this wicked and inhuman scam. They will all perish if they don't expose the sponsors of this evil.

So it is illiterates that boko Haram kidnapped in chibok govt school writing exam. Ok let us assume the long abduction by Shetty and gang had made them forget the English language at least they can speak hausa, they should allow them talk to the press or their parents.

Any attempt for all of them to be saying the same thing means they have worked on them hence the reason for bubu to still be holding unto them.

Banking is a serious business therefore ii don't know how this caricature adds any value to thbanking cape in Nigeria. The time and moneybtheu spent to sew this uniforms than makes them look like Michelin man should have been channelled into more impactful services such as empowering indigent pupilsnin their various branch
Location's.

It seems to me this time around it is the 'oyinbo" that are more interested in Biafra realization than even the Nnamdi kanu and IPOB.

Such are the qualities we desiire from anybody who aspires to lead our country and not those who stand aside and watch youths killed because they lost an election or those who threaten us with the blood of monkeys and baboons mixed together.

Next time we must be careful those we elect into offices before we go bring in the brother of the devil to come and lead us.You never know.

A great actor has gone. RIP

Do these type of people ever remember Samuel Doe, Gadaffi, Campaore, Saddam, and others do they think the masses are fools they can continue to lord over in perpetuity. That is impossible. What has he done for the people or who has he helped to make such a baseless statement. Let him come to the public square and make such statement and see if he wont receive barrels of stone on that his head.
Its not by talking behind the fortress of Aso rock.

Of what use is a nation where some sector have arrogated themselves the power and parasitically living off others at the expense of children and the unborn. Its a matter of time.

This is a known fact and gov shetti and bubu and others in the know can never go unpunished for inhumanity to fellow men, they should be thoroughly investigated and handed over to the war court otherwise they should prepare to face the judgement court of God for eternal damnation.

Nigerians reject coup detat in all its ramifcations. Let APC continue with their terrible administration until 2019 when we shall get rid of the rubbish but not through coup plotting.

So what was exactly the purpose of this kidnap in the first place, was it to get rid of PDP, Jonathan, install a muslim president or to get Buhari into power.

If you abduct innocent girls for the past two years and you say your objective is to Islamize Nigeria and after two years you release them in batches when Nigeria has not been islamized only thing that has changed is that Buhari is now the president. I am trying hard to figure out the real motive of the abduction in the first place. Yet innocent soldiers are still being killed and maimed and innocent citizens killed, then who are the people negotiating and with whom are they negotiating. Shekua is still at large and boasting who then are these boko that abducted our chibok girls.

It just doesn't add up, they should just go and bring out all the girls wherever they are hiding them.

paschal47:
when is Aisha buhari coming out to tell us what her husband said before his death because I believe that man is long gone





#whereisthepresident

Its true, he is surviving on Nigerian tax payers benevolence, if we should pull the carpet off his feet he would not be able to survive on his own, hence the need to cling onto power good or bad. In his mind let anythyng that wants to happen, happen inside Aso rock so he can enjoy a hero's treatment.

He has finished our money, see him growing pot belle like OBJ in that picture yet he is playing truancy, absent everytime from FEC meeting.

OK but what Mr Lie failed to tell us is if he is able to carry out other state functions if he couldn't attend ordinary FEC meeting that is right within the presidency. If the man has any self respect he would honour himself and respect the intelligence of Nigerian citizens and above all pity the suffering masses and himself by honourably relinquishing power to the VP so that Nigeria can move forward.

It makes nonsense just lying down there doing nothing at the expense of our nation.

I pray he remains inside till 2019

...and who do you expect to suffer this situation, tax payers right. If he has any common sense, the best thing is to quit and let someone that is fit take the driver seat and take this nation to her expected destination, This is a drawback which we dont need now. Let him gerraway fast, he has become a source of embarrassment to the nation.

There is something unusual about that man they brought back from UK and showed to us as bubu. The man said he was back and strong and suddenly he has gone into limbo again.

Well whatever it is the cabal are doing with bubu the truth will surely be exposed sooner than later. Even the wife of the presido cannot be seen again, na wa O.

The man has completely demystified that throne with all this wakawaka. People should be coming to pay abeisance to him but NO, instead he brought strange women into the palace and now gallivanting from Kano to America, to london, to even elegushi beach area, now Oba Akiolu has only shown him the indignation many harbour about him. He should learn to be a royalty and not a celebrity.
