but if investors "sense" a lock down with no means of reclaiming their funds or seeking redress because the govt is looking the other way.investors will seat on autopilot till the govt makes a clear move and formally constitute itself.
and some comments from PMB are not helping each either.

Only investors that are there as charities.
The fall in investment is due mostly to the fall in demand.

This people don't care if the devil is the president, so far they're making profits.
Investors will always find a way round even if the government makes a policy counter-productive to their businesses- which I doubt this government will do.
Come to think of it, which moves are they waiting for and how will it affect their earnings?

baralatie:
the slow down was because of the election and it was uncertain if Nigeria could successfully hold a peaceful election.
immediately after the election and the swearing in of the president signalling a fiery time successful transition.the stock market responded positive in its fisrt week.
it only started going slow when the administration did not "sell" itself to investors and remained without a cabinet. it gave investors a second thought that this adminisration was interested in continuing a closed-loop govt economy.

The continued in growth rate after the election up till now is majorly an economic issue.
Investors won't stop investing if profit is guaranteed

baralatie:
on the contrary govt actions of not forming a cabinet is a heavy pointer to the economic growth,even from your own comments!

Have it in mind that the slow-down in growth has been going on since last year- when we had ministers. It won't stop just because we now have new President, though I think we need ministers now.

The FBN Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) shrank in August to 49.2 from an earlier low of 50.6, indicating contraction.
The manufacturing sector, which accounts for 10 percent of GDP, is already in recession as it contracted for a second consecutive quarter, by 3.8 percent year on year in Q2 2015, compared to growth of 14 percent a year earlier.
The NSE – all share index, a broad benchmark of Nigerian stocks (another leading indicator), has returned -14.85 percent year to date, while broad money supply (M2) declined by 0.61 percent in June 2015, below the level at the end of December 2014.
Oil, from which the Nigerian government earns 70 percent of budget revenues, tumbled to a six-and-a-half low of $42per barrel (Pb) last month, 33.9 percent lower than the Q2 average of $63.55pb

Government spending will increase the growth rate - this would encourage the private sector to also invest. Thus government investment could complement private sector investment.

But what do we have? The red texts above will give you us a clue.

Buhari is in power now, but this sorry-state we are was engineered by Jonathan and his "economic team".
Expect reasonable positive growth only at the wake of next year.

The absence of a cabinet and direction for the economy under the new President Muhammadu Buhari may be a factor in the negative indicators.

It has very little or nothing to do with the absense of a cabinet.

The DSS has the mandate to break into anywhere within Nigeria on security tip-off. The court will throw the suit out the first day.

So Jebba, Jos, Abuja, Maiduguri, Makurdi...are hausa towns and cities.

And who says Tangale is a tribe in Bauchi state?

Papist:
And after the Apostles died the Church disappeared right? Only to be resurrected by Martin Luther and his friends? So the martyrs of the catacombs of Rome who died for their faith in Christ were not Christians. St Polycarp, St Philomena, St Agnes etc?

Go and read "Truth Triumphant". There has always been churcches different in doctrine from the one in Rome right from the time of the Apostles, up to this moment. Rome have always made sure the truth is suppresed, it shall alway survives

Why waste time arguing with people who have made up their minds?
God bless you and increase your wisdom, winner01.

They claim God doesn't exist, but end up spending all their lives convincing us.
I don't get it! Someone is not having peace of mind.

This calls for concern.

If this was to be Osogbo, by now, the usual suspects would have taken over this thread.

chukwudi44:
Oloribruku ode the DSS have called premium times to recant their story on the discovery of arms at the government house!!! No arms were found during the raid!!

https://www.nairaland.com/2577226/update-found-stockpiles-dollars-not

Aye iya ma baje ni.
Wait until the DSS told you they didn't say anything like that.

But another top official of the Service said Friday night the claim by his colleagues was an exaggeration. He requested not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter.
Igun lo ma yo oju e je omo iran k'iran.

nsyforreal:
Most of you guys will do worse if you are in power. So cut off this holier than thou attitude you are putting up on social media by criticising virtually everything.

the more reason this country will never grow. We all claim to be Saint. Yet if given

opportunity to be ordinary local government chairman we destroy everything.


Who is a saint in our political cycle, mention one?

I laugh always when I see some writeup on social media. People just write just to write or to be noticed.

I'll do worse by looting the commonwealth of my people only to relocate my family abroad?
Sorry, I can't do that in my little capacity and I don't see myself doing it anytime in my life. Speak for yourself alone

chukwudi44:
Bros i ask you again,have you seen eveidence of any such weapons? Have the DSS even spoken on the issue? Please make use of your common sense for christ's sake!!! Its very very cheap to use

Since it's a lie and the raid never happen, why are you crying all over the thread in the first place? Just assume nothing happened since the DSS decides not to talk about it.

drss:
now i know say some nigerians be educated illitrates. U believe the dss is a secret police yet believe this trash by premium times. How did premium times got to know about the so call arms and ammunitions in govt house? ThankGod the impunity of buari will begin a speedy desolution of this useless union call nigeria. Usa is right. Nigeria will disentergrate before 2019. Anything dat will bring the end of nigeria n creation of biafra is welcome.
Buari will regret being d president of arewanistant after disentegration.
#biafraonthemove

If you're not a dunce, you should know the little information you have here is enough for you and co blockheads, not the details. Do you understand now?

Ramos16:
Yes they do, just like most animals, even lion, they will never attack the snake, but they will stay around barking to draw attention or scare the snake off

You're right, but the "staying around" is by maintaining a reasonable distance. It's either this Dog was trying to attack the Snake or the Dog unknowingly run into it, of which the Snake will see as a threat and so, the attack.

nationwide1:
I know supporters of Buhari are like unstable water. They are tossed to the direction of the wind always.


When they (Buhari and Osibanjo) were promising heaven and earth, the naive supporters were celebrating, when they denied ever making such promises, the same naïve supporters backed them.




When Oshiomole said America handed to Buhari documents with evidence of looting of millions of dollars, APC supporters were jumping up and down. When America said Oshiomole was lying, the myopic supporters all kept quiet.

You sound pathetic. I don't give a damn what a government promises or says, I care about the actions and performance and Buhari is doing just the right thing. Only evil-doers are afraid

Ramos16:
You think dogs are like human beings, its funny how they behave, because even the most cowardly dog only really fears human, it will back at other animals no matter how big, or fearful even to death.

Dogs are programmed to fear Snakes.

“If ignorance ever goes to $40 a barrel, I want
drilling rights on George Bush’s head.

This is epic!

More like, if indomie noodle ever goes to #10/plate, I want the one inside GEJ's head served. Hahahaha

OCHOdee:
I feel sorry for the dog though he has never seen a snake before. Am sure he was wondering what kind of creature is this??

Even a puppy knows what a snake is.
Why he waited for the snake still baffles me

nationwide1:
Where are the pictorial evidences of the "cache of arms" found there? Is that too much to ask for? They also forget that Akwa Ibom State is not in heaven as some of have friends in that state that we can call to ascertain the fact.




It's very difficult to believe anything coming from this government as it has over the last hundred days given Nigerians myriad reasons that they are thy don't tell the truth.

Go ahead and call your friends who witnessed the raid

The person who stockpiled the Arms already know he's in trouble and you're here looking for pictures? Who cares if you believe it not?

chukwudi44:
You think it is okay for the DSS to just invade the government house without any justifiable reason? For you there are not mandated to issue any statement to the public!! The typical mentality of an average and illiterate APC supporter!! Anyway when gbege starts in the Niger delta, we all will suffer It together

There is no reason to "invade" yet they went to do what exactly?
Cache of Arms uncovered in Akwa Ibom state government house. So what more exactly do you want to hear from the DSS than this? You're the illiterate here if you think the DSS owes you further explanation on this matter.
Like I said, nothing will happen.

chukwudi44:
Have you seen any evidence to back up this story? Have they been any official statement from the DSS?

DSS is a secret police. They're not mandated to issue any official statement to please you. Allow them to do their job.

nationwide1:
East is not my region but if you believe continuous harassment and intimidation of a people will go on unchallenged, then you certainly lack the knowledge of history.

You should be more concerned about the cache of Arms found there rather than the "harassment and intimidation of the people"- whatever that has to do with DSS bursting an agent of anarchy.

chukwudi44:
Bros I am not praying for that to happen, but if Buhari continues like this, that prediction might not be far fetched

Don't expect MEND to regroup all because of a crook called Akpabio. He is on his own entirely.

chukwudi44:
I hope you will say the same thing if he forces MEND to regroup!!!

MEND regroup all because someone is planning to wage war against the country? Let them regroup. Death to all enemies of Nigeria

Felony.
No wonder somebody was in a haste to jet out.
All enemies of state must die.
It's a pledge.

bingala:
bear in mind that if the war start now, all military personal that are from old eastern region will not fight along side Nigeria,... Britain,EGYPT will not aid Nigeria, ..Ajuku bucket used in 1967 has been modified to that of Hiroshima bomb.... so my dear stop chest beating, your gallant troops should defeat book haram that is not up to 15000 first before facing 2milion Biafran troops... at the end Biafra will come

THE ZOO MUST FALL

THE ZOO MUST FALL

We all know Biafran Army is superior to Nigerian Army, but can you please, start the war already as it appears we won't let you go without it?

zendy:
We are not looking for people's support, we are demanding our God given right to be free. We were free before Lugard came, Lugard has gone back home, it's time for us to be free again. If Nigerians say the Igbo man will not be free, then Nigerians should not be surprised if war comes.

If you feel you're a slave been a Nigerian, then you better get used to slavery, coz this Nigeria is will not break by your machinations.
If war is your next option, bring it on. But remember not to cry genocide

zendy:
People shouting Biafra do not represent Igbos? Really? So why you concerned about Biafra then? Biafra is not about senators and Reps, these people are just common rogues in Abuja. They are the ones who will never want Biafra to come so they can stealing in Abuja. Biafra is about the common man. If you do not like the threats and insults, then join the campaign for Igbos to leave Nigeria as Biafrans or you shut up and take the insults.

You can't can't insult and threat people unprovoked then expect them to support you. Such a warped logic. Continue with the insults and threats if you think that will help you. As for me- and other Nigerians would agree with me- it only strengthen our resolve to ensure your Biafra remains on Radio forever.

adino:
That is not sttangulation. That dog died as a result of some badass venom. If it was strangled, I bet you the dog would have been removed from the snakes belly.

This type of snake got a hefty bite, but not venomous.
ThE snake most certainly didn't kill the Dog for food- more like getting rid of a bottleneck.

Burger01:
I'm sure the dog might not have seen the snake earlier enough to bark for attention before he got bitten by the useless snake. I hate snakes! Why did God bother to create them

Dogs and Snakes are enemies.
I hate snakes too.

Yomboy4ever:
So d Dog na mumu

Yes...original one.

EasternLion:
Oh boy shut up, face your Odua, wetin concern you people concern Biafra. Is that how hopeless you Omooluabi has plunged?

Face front, the person I'm replying understands my point.
Why do you keep propagating biafran nonsense on a Nigerian forum if it concerns only "biafrans"- assuming there is anything like that? I swore to defend the unity of this country and I will do it to the best of my ability, until all Nigerians decide there should be no more Nigeria. What we have now is just noisemaking from nonentities.
