what about NNPC? Who are they fooling

Allow the Arrow to deceive herself na.

I can't believe I have never posted here before! The Kyuubi knows he doesn't need to step in for this battle, Madara isn't totally in control of the Bijuus and the Hachibi and Masters (Gai and Kakashi) are running rampage on the rest of the Jins. The last chapter was kinda disappointing though, I expect more whoop ass than that.

Hey what do you think of the Naruto rip off BLEACH? Obviously I detest the anime, it's too glossy and bubblegum. The whole Espada hype, the Xcution hype and nobody, mark that, NOBODY (save the General Commander's left hand) dies! What freaking gives! and now they come back looking like magazine covers! Argh, the thing is just not it abeg!

"Bored to death" and,
One Word - HOUSE. Nuff said!

The $200.0 million GEJ promised was a stimulation loan called Nigeria Entertainment Stimulation Fund a loan which is being obtained from the Africa Development Bank. Anyone conversant with banking rules knows that obtaining a loan from World Bank or Africa Development Bank is not easy.

Oh! I noticed that the loan is even in dollars and it will have to be converted to naira ahh! that is a huge forex risk involved.

Again, does most entertainers know how to write a biz plan? hummm,

Erm, I don't think it was a world bank loan because it is from the same parcel of money the civil aviation industry was promised a bailout. Till today I don't think even the aviation industry has been given the funds promised to them. If I remember correctly those funds were supposed to be sourced from the excess crude dollar account not a loan, guess it went straight into electioneering.
It's not nolly-wood that GEJ deceived, a lot of these posters here criticizing one of Nigeria's biggest and best functioning industries also fell for the 'no shoes' trick. Its now that he has fumbled that people will start talking from the other side of there months.
Akproko people!

in as much as I salute the courage of contributors here for hammering on our real problems: CORRUPTION & WASTEFUL SPENDING OF OUR LEADERS AT ALL LEVELS, i believe nairalanders  can do more by forming an organisation which could be named ''Nairaland Activists Against Corruption'' or any other suitable name. I believe nairalanders are everywhere in Nigeria and we can push aside our religious and tribal/ethnic differences to fight against corruption. Here on nairaland, we have journalists, political scientist, experts from various fields, employed & unemployed etc. We need not only cyber activism but also physical one. This is just a suggestion, constructive criticisms and way foreward are welcome.   I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN AND RESCUE OUR DEAR COUNTRY.

I for one totally agree with this suggestion. Let an NL contributor (I recommend Oxy, Gbawe or any other more recognized contributor) be chosen and given the mandate to set up a bank account where we can all pay in an initial fee of, lets say, N1000 as a start up fund solely for the purpose. Those who pay will become recognized as ambassadors and from them a board will be chosen that can carry out these desires we keep expressing but do nothing about. We do not need to be the richest or most influential group there is, lets just try the much we can do and see if it works. This is only if we truly are patriots we all love to profess we are.

I PRAY the poster is correct and GEJ had a grand scheme all along. I mean only a total and unequivocal dunce can do what he did intentionally. I hope to Christ we were all wrong about the man and he is the chess player I once tot him to be b4 he became substantive president.

23 and 18 isn't that bad. the guy doesn't seem that old.

If your opponent score own goal abeg won't u celebrate? Yes! If cpc decides to take advantage of pdp mistakes dats politics, nothing wrong with dat. Were pdp not taking side with d lekki toll gate protesters to condem lagos govt actions? If obama makes a mistakes today, d republicans wud use it against him. As for pdp, go bleep urselves

Hehehe, NL for real.

I just checked the website of one of the mentioned paper companies and guess what, It looks like a paper company.
http://www.delmarpetroleum.com. This is hurriedly crafted site that no respectable eatery would be caught dead with, there is more than the smell of a rat here my friends.

This however does not absolve the subsidized importers, it only implicates the govt further.

what about the so called green refinery? wat about the ultimatum GEJ gave Allison Madueke to have the refineries working? GEJ should just bow out

ekwah:
This is mine:  

Instead of asking for GEJ's impeachment if subsidy is not removed, why shouldn't they channel such a strong opposition for a cut in the personal budgets of the rather spendthrift government   This protest with the right objective, may bring our f.ucking politicians   back on track as regards their wasteful attitude. Let us protest for the right things and everything may turn out better. As far as I am concerned, subsidy, with a ridiculous government spending, is pure rubbish. The latter  must be addressed first. Let people protest against the government spending first, at least we will have a very good reason to hang Jonathan if he decides to pay deaf ears.

you nailed it. 1000%.

Oh yeah, I can't really say there's anyone I'm mad at save the govt (FUCKH the govt, I hope GEJ dies). I pray I don't have to get mad at anyone soon

thoth:
How silly are Nigerians? So anybody that preaches against the west/IMF/WORLD BANK is now a terrorist ? Enlightened individuals should educate others and people should not buy that anti-west equals to terrorist propaganda.

Erm, how silly are you. Apart from religion what do ALL Islamist terrorist groups have in common if not hatred for the imagined 'WEST'? Yes the probability is very high that any strangely dressed stranger offering money to recruits and preaching anti-west doctrines is a terrorist you unwashed myopic pant.

It became N1.3Trillion because 2011 was an election year and fuel importers getting subsidies for phantom fuel supplied needed to fund PDP, Have you forgotten how PDP spent massively during the elections. Is anyone asking how they came about the huge money spent. I have told my friends long ago that we the masses will be made to pay for the campaign expenses very soon. this is also why the crooks can not be punished. They shared the money with PDP.

TRUTH!

Sanusi said "> Finally: removing subsidy is not a silver bullet that solves our economic problems. And there is a huge trust deficit that government has to address. Government needs to investigate subsidy payments and punish any violations of extant guidelines. It needs to cut on unnecessary and waste ful expenditure. It needs to fight corruption and show seriousness in that. It needs to deliver on capital projects, power and infrastructure including irrigation, farm-level storage and agri-processing. These are all valid issues that are to be taken IN ADDITION to and not in place of subsidy removal."

TRUTH!!

surugede:
Thank you sir.

but my question is, how does the removal subsidy benefit the ordinary Nigerian while that sum removed on the pump price now is  being paid by the masses, in order words, the importers losses nothing as that which thy has lost in the government (subsidy) is now being provided by the hungry Nigerians.

TRUTH!!!

Everybody agrees that the subsidy is wrong yet the question remains; who have profited the most from it? Is it not still politicians? If they remove subsidy is it not the same politicians who'll handle the monies gotten? Also what the heck has anybody done about the whooping 65bpd which have been stolen by the NNPC for almost a decade now? Why isn't this an issue.
If GEJ tackles corruption and starts to seize the wealth of these thieves, it'll be so easy to fund any project to any phase. In fact only then would he have gained the legitimacy to remove subsidy.

kizito96:
We need competent hands not quantity

You don't know the half of it. Do you know that Nigeria's Police Force has only ONE forensic detective, one CSP Benedict Agbo or something? This guy tried to create an elite and thoroughly polished CSI department, asking for 20 start up trainee candidates and when the list came from Abuja the names had been bloated to 200!!! When he interviewed a third of them he found they could hardly hold a conversation, much less look under a microscope!
That's the truth! When Govs, senators, etc make their lists what do you think it'll mean for this recruitment galore?

knowledge4:
It is a wrong step because there is no database in the country to ensure that the right people are engaged.
what will likely happen is that all sorts of riff raffs including Boko Haram and armed robbers will be engaged in error as happened during OBJ's regime when the Police did a similar exercise. The security situation would be worsened and compounded.
The National Census and the National Identity card which would have provided a central database of Nigerians were messed up on the altar of political banditry.

GBAM!!!

I don't know about you guys but I've already sent a letter to my senator for Jonathan's impeachment. I can't do much on my own but the little I can I will. This train wreck has to stop. Nigeria's mounting external dept and missing reserves did not miraculously occur, they were products of a very very skewed and degenerate election buy-out plan. Now that it has begun to tell on our economy this fool of a President needs a new money source, NOT TO BETTER THE ECONOMY, BUT TO RATHER MAINTAIN THE EQUILIBRIUM.
Even if they plan to use the money for good, with the same caliber of people in govt as there has always been why would the money not get pilfered? I mean when things where not to hard they stole with gusto, zest and monkey agility, how in the world would any right thinking individual then think they won't steal when things have worsened overnight, I'm off to Ghana.

Q - "Should President Jonathan resign?"
A - "Yes."

Truth - Will President Jonathan ever resign or 'get things right?'
Bitter Truth - "No."

not just soldiers, there were military school kids on that bus. Seven of them in fact, apparently they were coming from a debate in Lagos. Its so pathetic and tragic. God rest them

It cost the NFF more than N5 Billion for missing out of the nations cup as a result of Siasia's failure to get the nations to the nations cup as stipulated on the contract. So Siasia fail his contract,and NFF could as well demand damages worth N6 billion from Siasia,
 Who wins the battle

Just one example, abeg, make she find her own level. Na till person start dey yab her hair extension before she go park well!

I believe the efficacy of prayers and I think the poster has a point. We ought to back the prayers up with works too, but doesn't mean the prayers go to waste. I mean, who can authoritatively say they know exactly how God works. Lets do our bit fully; works and prayers! Thanks Poster.

This news is false. There is no corroborating news link. modernghana should have more decorum and it should never have made the front page.
