The unification decree did not tamper with resource control, it did not change the revenue allocation formular, it did not remove fiscal federalism, it recognised the 4 Region's

So how did this decree introduce unitary rule?

The only thing this decree did was unify the public service workers

The unification decree subjected all the regions to the Federal (Military) government. Before that all regions appeared autonomously from the FG.

It was only a matter of time before Ironsi started making the East dominate the country. This was someone that couldn't detain the coup plotters. He obviously had an agenda

Yet the colonial master colonised Africa with all their juju, ransacked shrines and palaces and banished kings. The earlier Africans stop believing that lead bullets moving at more than 200m/s cannot pierce their skin, the better for them..

We'll come back to how India defeated Nigeria 99-1 in a 90 minutes game..

The UN is not even secure. They let an impostor wearing a mask address them.

Logic of IPOB.

Chai!! this is the same person many people from the East campaigned against o..

Totilopussylick:
Which is to say some people choose to commit crime naturally.

Even the ones that are comfortable eg Abba kyari.

yes

PeaceJoyLove:
FG and Buhari are maddd.. something is in their handbook they printed and they are saying this. Please, let us compel our lawmakers and gov to attack NYSC. This is too much

And you think people can't print 1000 of such altered book and circulate it?

I'm sure you know someone who's a Corper. Collect his handout and see for yourself

A member of the deceased’s family told FIJ that the accused would appear before the Chief Magistrate Court, Yaba, on Friday, to stand trial for the murder.

Good

Buy the dip

n its political holder stinkingly rich

Dangote is stinkingly rich. Doesn't mean all Northerners are rich

Totilopussylick:
Bubu failed them hence why they resorted to going into all manner of crimes for survival.

poverty is not an excuse. Imagine if all the 200 million people Buhari failed enters crime...

As long as there are people in poverty than shuns crime, then those that do crime have no excuse

Only dismiss? Imagine if the US police only dismissed the cop killer of Michael Brown

Nauttyprof:
This is a sick excuse.

In Engineering, you always work based on worse case scenario if at all you don't have an idea of the situation of things or not privy to certain information.

It means APC never had any concrete plan on how to create the change they sold to Nigerians

I get you. But sometimes things go out of hand. I had a rich uncle (so I thought). He and his family travels to Dubai for Christmas every year. His children goes to one of the most expensive school in Abuja. It was when he died that we knew he didn't have any savings. When his wife opened the savings they saw only 50k inside.
If you call this man out of the blue that you want 50k, he'll give you 70k. Nobody would believe in any worse case scenario as far as this man was concerned. You'll never think this man have nothing less than 150 million in his account. But las las he saved only 50k with no house. He only had a land that all the people he had helped had to raise money to build a house for his family..

Now tell me, would you assume any worse case scenario here?

I remember when a very good friend of mine was campaigning for a position of SUG in one of the Southern universities. They promised they'll buy school buses for students living in Lagos, and do this and do that.. When they won the election they discovered that the past SUG left less than 2 million in the coffers. They couldn't disclose to the students how much they met (though my friend told me).. I pitied the SUG that time.. Everyone thought they were eating money when actually there wasn't money to eat..

That's why you shouldn't take any President aspirant campaign next year, if first he doesn't admit that Nigeria is broke and what he'll do about that... If anyone says he won't borrow a dime avoid him like a plague else you'll meet another Buhari. If he promises to reduce fuel price or electric bill, he's a big liar.

If he says he'll not borrow let him say how he will get money to build infrastructures. Let him say how he'll make Nigerians patient for at least 3 years before his policies will begin to bear fruits (cos if you think a president can solve Nigeria's problem in one year you're unwise).

Let him identify the major problem and give realistic solutions. Not how he will make the naira equal to $1. Shine your eyes my country people.

Standing5:
This is to counter the news about bandits being dropped off by aircraft before they kill.

dropped off by air just to kill only 10 persons.. Use your brain. If you were a bandit and you're given air support how many persons would you kill? And from the report there were multiple bandits..

Like how do people take someone else's life.. Not due to anger or self defense, or mistake but for petty things like money making, cultism, and robbery.. Like I've tried putting myself in a killer's shoe. But the only way I see myself taking someone else's life is if I'm not human.

What goes in the mind of those people that slit someone else's throat..??

Another thing is Unnecessary wickedness.

Some people can be so unnecessarily wicked that you begin to wonder.

Someone would do something wicked of which he/she will not gain anything.

So many people are only waiting for you to cross their path, so they can harm you.

Even if you try to avoid it,

somehow or other, he/she would still find a way to do you harm.

This character underlines why there is so much backwardness and poverty in this world(particularly in the third world countries where wickedness is the order of the day), even though there is so much wickedness.

It is because most people are wicked but they don't gain anything from it.

If people were to gain from wickedness,then most people (particularly Africans) would have lived above poverty.

They would have enjoyed good health and better/long lives.

So wickedness is mostly unnecessary.

A good example of these set of people are public universities lecturers.. Like how would you derive happiness in failing students. Its not like your salary increment or job promotion is proportional to how many students you fail. That's how one lecturer joyfully sent the number of students that failed his course to us. You could see/hear the pride in his voice as he was showing us..

Hate him or not but this man has achieved a lot.. Call him a dullard, lifeless etc, but man Professors and Lively people will never walk where this man have walked

And now Sanwo Olu will ban Okada and they'll start complaining

Now that our Southern Governors have banned open grazing, we shouldn't have excuse of Fulani herdsmen clash.. Let all those that can farm go and farm..

Its just a little sacrifice for the actualisation of Biafra. When we get it we would install Simon Ekpa as our supreme leader. We would only install people who didn't sacrifice anything.. People who enjoyed their lives with their family outside the country.

it doesn't matter. Nigeria is broke.

Mystic216:
Money for what for Christ sake
Does it mean Nigeria doesn’t have money with all the natural resources and taxes in this country
I hate reading some certain things abeg

No Nigeria doesn't have money. Check how much FG, States and LGs shared for the month of August. Just a little over $1.5 billion. Like a country with 36 states, 714 LGs and 200 million people actually shared less than 2 billion dollars... Nigeria is stinkingly poor.

ogododo:
How much una dey buy fuel now, how much subsidy we de pay now. Bros fear God. How much dey your pocket or bank account now?

ok

One day politicians will come out enmasse to protest unpaid salaries

ogododo:
Apart from rail paid for by PDP for almost 60%, Which road dey anywhere.

Stop using that excuse that PDP paid for rail.. Which rail did they pay for? For 16 years PDP could not complete any rail project only pay for it. That's lie from the pit of hell..

If you're a traveler and you say you don't see any ongoing road project then you're blind.

Very soon they'll write laws about FG setting aside billions for their private jets

hargbolahan01:
that's why a good leader will first change the system for better either to generate more or for good of the citizen... you cant keep doing the same thing and expect different results only insane people do that

Dubai and china first change their policy and system then development follow

By changing the system (not higher taxes and loan though)

And you think you won't borrow a dime during all these while.. No matter how good your policy is, no company would want to invest where there's no road, light and railway.

ultiabaz36:
I just want to suggest that any governor or president that borrow any money during his tenure and failed to pay back the debt before leaving the office should be held responsible to pay the debt with his personal properties.

So which President do we hold responsible for America's $20 trillion debt

May God not give us another President that would make us say so so and so past President was the best so far..

When we tell people that Nigeria is broke they will come for out head. That money is less than 2 billion dollars (remember 2 billion dollz was what ATM Dasuki shared with other corrupt politicians).
With less than 2 billion dollars, Nigerians want Nigeria to transform into Dubai in moments. Go to google and check how much they built the Burj Al'Arab hotel in palm Island, Dubai... That's just a single building in Dubai o.
Even with this chicken change, some people think Buhari can build infrastructure without taking loans..
Bring your best President or politician or economists from any country, let him come and build the Nigeria of your dreams without taking loans at least during his first 4 years..

Patrioticman007:
The act is a double edge sword, for it will cripple legitimate business men, who default.
While real political pen robbers will be dealt with. However I suspect Nigerian bankers committee of bribing the national assembly for them to pass this evil Jewish Shylock shacks bill.
One of the most evil invention of mankind in this world is interest rate on loans

So it is good for the legitimate businessmen to borrow from banks and not pay up as when when due because of the single fact that they are "legitimate"? If all "legitimate" businessmen take loans and not pay up where will the other "legitimate" businessmen take loans from??

Since y'all like comparing Nigeria to sane societies, try taking a loan from any bank in the US and default on your payments and see if the banks will be sane enough to let you go..

Have you all sit down to think if Buhari would have borrowed the way he borrowed if the past government built the roads, bridges, railways, power stations, dams etc he's borrowing for?

A government that borrowed over 400 billion naira to pay salaries is literally admitting that there's no single money in the coffers. No matter how much you hate Buhari, you can't deny that fact.

It's just like comparing a man that borrowed 1 million from the bank to eat and a man that borrowed 10 million naira to build a rented flat.. You can't say the man that borrowed the smaller amount (1 million) is better than the man that borrowed 10 million.

Imagine you were told to manage a company that the previous manager was removed cos he ran the company down to the extent where the company was borrowing to pay her staff. And when you took over, you discovered the electrical wiring is bad, some furnitures are damaged, the company needs repainting and there's, no vehicles for the company... Tell me what you'll do for that company without borrowing..
