Why not just put Evans the"billionnaire kdnapper" instead of Orji kalu? Evans will do the "work" faster.

Nice one. The federal govt should also add the Nigerian Police force officially to their list of revenue generating agencies like customs,immigration,Firs etc. This will mandate them to remit their "revenues" into govt coffers instead of private pockets. These people are even killing innocent Nigerians in their bid to "generate" the "revenues". Imagine combining the revenue generated by NPF with those of other agencies! Nigeria will even start lending to world bank instead of borrowing

Some Nigerians are negatively smart. How I wish we can channel some of these negative smartness into positive ventures!!!

Everybody wants to steal from everybody in Nigeria, the govt, private sector and even some religious leader will steal from you. Firstbank just charged me almost N200 last month for alert notifications. I wonder how many alerts I got last month to warrant such deduction. Everything is just messed up in this country.

This is exactly why Gej still needs serious flogging with koboko. He left his home and focused on the North. Now PMB who knows the fact that no matter how far you go, you will always return home is still focusing on the same North his home while Gej is swimming flooded roads with his people.

Does this mean that south Africans don't produce drugs? . This post is putting all the blames in respect to drug production on Nigerians and it isn't correct. Many nationals including south Africans are also part of the illicit business.

Did you hear that? It's c200 not c1000
I feel like being a Ghanian

you don't know what they meant. Nigeria can do what they did if we want. The Ghanaian economy didn't improve to warrant a high currency value. They only redenominated their currency which means that supposed they had C1000, they simply removed a zero or more. It only has temporary power of reducing inflation and if you don't do anything to improve the economy within that period, the advantage will disappear and that is why they want to reintroduce higher denomination now because their currency keeps losing value. They need higher denomination to maintain liquidity. Nigeria can remove three zeros from our N10 and it will turn to N100. But does that improve our economy? Simply NO. Nigeria even imports toothpicks!!!. We must produce more, export far more than we import and create good policies in order to achieve a bigger and better economy to achieve better currency value. People bought cars and built houses when they earned N100 minimum wage than now that they are earning N18,000 and above as minimum wage.

The simple reason is that looting/corruption is a crime committed by politicians, political office holders and appointees. It is a "big man crime". "Big man crime" like this carrys very little or no punishments while "poor man crime" like kidnapping, armedrobbery, yahoo-yahoo carry harsh punishments. You can't expect a sane human being to set a trap for himself. A legislature composed of thieves can never make meaningful laws to fight corruption. A legislature that still continued paying a convicted legislator even while still in prison and not performing legislative duties, cannot make meaningful anti-stealing laws. A legislature that closed legislative duties to go and give solidarity to a member facing corruption charges, cannot make meaningful anti-corruption laws. A legislator who is a career politician, without any other sources of income apart from politics, cannot make meaningful anti-corruption laws. The list is endless.

At a salary of N40,000 a month, the N10m monthly upkeep allowance for a zamfara ex-governor will pay 250 workers. At the new minimum wage of N30,000, the ex-governor's monthly allowance will pay 333 workers and there will still remain a little change. In a year, it will pay 4,000 workers at N30,000 minimum wage and 3,000 workers at N40,000 monthly salary. These people are heartless. That is why I have always supported the idea of compulsory public medical tests for anybody going into political offices or public appointments, these people act too abnormal. Their greed is unnatural.

Some Nigerian traders will go and buy quality Nigerian rice , repackage them with foreign rice bags and then resell them expensively as foreign rice all because some other Nigerians prefer foreign rice. I see this as a nice move by the Nigerian Customs service but our farmers must produce more. Private sector should invest more into farming. Govt should provide the necessary inputs and structures to encourage farming. And above all, govt and farmers should do something about the prices, the prices of local rice are too outrageous no matter the quality.

May his soul rest in peace. He died in a "Tokyo hospital" unlike our leaders wey dey die for London hospital, German hospital and Saudi Hospital. First lady don even die for Malaga hospital, Spain

Nooooooo. Keep blaming PMB and other Nigerians. South east has the capacity and resources to develop itself but unfortunately just like other regions of Nigeria, they are unfortunate with bad leaders but while other regions try to hold their people accountable, south east does otherwise, they ignore leaders from their region and blame others. South west, north and Edo in south south always vote out party not bringing quality development to them but only south east keeps voting a party not because of quality performance or leadership but political affinity.

Almost everybody is united with the fact that Ikpeazu is the worst performing governor currently in the whole of south east. He competes with Yahaya Bello of Kogi state at the national level for the same trophy. No matter how op trys to twist this with this post, deep down in the heart, op knows this post is a lie.

This is exactly the same reason Nigerian importers choose to use the ports of neighbouring countries instead of Nigerian ports. We make life difficult for ourselves all in the name of patronage. A Nigerian worker, agency, ministry or institution being paid to work always feels they are doing somebody favour by working. This mindset must change.

It won't surprise me if this same governor doesn't pay a condolence visit to the family of the aide despite being the direct bearer of the loss. Our politicians know where the food, drama and the attention are and they will always go for them. Atiku can provide all these and that is why they are all trooping to pay him condolence visit instead of the family.

The NBA should come into this. A lawyer like that should be barred from practising.

MrGidifeed:
I thought they said he does not have shoes

it was Gej that had no shoes . PMB's format was that he borrowed money from bank to buy election form.

It may have been purchased by him and it may also be a gift from somebody. But a leader who wants to grow the local economy shouldn't be seen using foreign made goods whether he could afford it or it was a gift isn't an issue. The issue is that it sends the wrong message to the populace.

even u go fear ooo...
prison room wouldn't be able to convey the prisoner in Nigeria....
maybe that is why they give them relatively short sentence... criminals too plenty for this country

No no no no. It is because the sentences are too lenient that is the reason. If the sentences are stringent, few people will want to commit crime. Anybody that wants to commit crime will first of all think about the consequences. Most People are scared of carrying drugs to asia and middle east because it carrys death sentences that are un-negotiable.

The punishment for criminal activities for Nigerian big men is too lenient. That is why our big men always run to the courts when caught. Even if this man is convicted despite this henious crime, he won't get more than 5 years imprisonment. Somebody like this deserves a long term sentence of at least 50 years. If this is done, our people will run away from crime.

Stan2330:
The way the borders were closed is unheard of. No consultations were made, analysts didn't debate on the pros and cons...He just woke up one money and closed the borders rendering the lives of Nigerians who borrowed huge amount of money from the bank hypertensive

if there was a deadline announced concerning the border closure, the level of imports into this country would have been unprecedented. The quantity of rice import alone will be so much that it will last more than 10 years. Nigerian importers would have imported anything importable. The country would have been overflooded with imports which would have killed our currency and economy as a whole. FG took the best option but they should also do everything possible to make us self-sufficient.

Congrats. They just graduated faster than their mates.

My great grandfather was among d captured slaves to be taken to US but dat wicked man escaped and denied us d privileged of been a native of United States.... Imagine a country honouring a dog.. if it is in Nigeria, a hunter and his family will savour and even devour all d bones from a rabbit a dog caught and eat d dog too wen not satisfied ..... better to be a slave in US than a freeman in Naija

with your moniker, are you sure it was India or Bangladesh your grandfather was sent to? I don't think it is America ooo

A country that cannot secure its borders will always suffer insecurity and can never grow its economy from within. I pray that the federal govt also extend this to other numerous and unpopular illegal routes all over the country.

Two things you should never die for are: a politician and a boyfriend/ girlfriend. They will move on without you leaving your family to bear the loss.

That your father that promised to return all the money he stole when he spent one term as governor if elected? Kogi and Abia states are the most unfortunate states in the whole country, they have always had bad leaders. The voters are always given options of either being in the frying pan or jumping into the fire and both options have the same consequences.

May his soul rest in peace

Childish

na my own expectation be that. You have your own expectations from him.

Na now you wake up? It is "tay tay long:

I expect him to visit America now that the elections are over. This will put a total end to the insinuation that America allowed him in only because of the last election.

It is a power quiz. 3 to the power of 2 is equals 9. 4 to the power of 3 equals 64. 9 to the power of 1 equals 9.
