Nairalanders have not been too sharp to know all this while that Obiagelli is Oby Ekwesili.

she has no option than to quit after the treatment meted to her and her BBOG group today in Aso Rock. She is too ashamed to start criticizing Buhari here with her Obiagelli monicker so as not to be seen as a fool.

Oby Ezekwesili the social media scam activist have been very active on Nairaland like she is on Twitter........Shameless woman.

You may be right

jameseva:
oga forget that one! Buhari is not Mugabe!! Meanwhile, Nigerians are some of the most enlightened people on earth.. Libyans participated actively coz they were easily brainwashed.. Nigerians will question every of your words and actions, including if you believe in God or Not.. There are some rebels in the east and SS but they aren't close to being enough to give this government any headache should they be available for manipulation by the west. China did it without against all odds, the most populous black nation, Nigeria can!!

Are the market woman at Oshodi among the so called enlightened or the shoe makers, truck pushers, agberos, scavengers, Dando drivers etc. Among the list of enlightened folks you think dominate Nigerian population? When will you come back home to face reality? You people in diaspora make me laugh

Can we withstand the West? ask Mugabe

Why is Buhari unwise like this sef? Despite aid money given to us by UK and US, logistics and training of our military personnel by them, he openly went to cut deals with China at their expense. The West will surely deal with him ask Mugabe, who China help before? chai Bubu

Thunder set fire on all ethnic bigots in this country

You all will keep being put to shame!

I can't see us moving forward with all this confusion

I'm not a finance expert. Just got this. How true
is it?
Some Nigerians are jubilating over $2b loan from
China and the so called Yuan trading deal. - Akani
Balogun
China wants to lend us 2 billion dollars, but they
want to give us in Yuan and not the dollar itself.
They are not handling us cash, but service
exchange; meaning if we want to buy iron rod, we
buy it from Chinese company and they pay the
company on our behalf. If we want to construct
railway, they will construct it for us and take the
money out of the loan. In the end, we are bound
to award contracts to them, cutting out
competition from others and fairplay to others(non
Chinese company can't bid or compete to reduce
the cost.) They get to value the contract and
determine the price, meaning they can sell
something worth 200 Naira for N2000 and we
don't have a choice 'cos it is on credit.
The worst of it is that China want us to pay back
in dollars, that is not all, we are moving our
foreign reserve to fake currency(Yuan) a currency
that is manipulated openly by the Chinese
government. Did anyone ask Lamido Sanusi what
happened to some of our reserve he moved to
Yuan few years ago? They sold us Yuan at 4 to a
dollar, only to devalue their currency few weeks
latter to 9 Yuan per $.
Many Nigerians don't know that even Chinese
company don't want yuan, nobody want it, Chinese
foreign reserve is in dollars, China is the largest
holder of US bond, they want dollars by all means.
Also, China have more lobbyists in Washington DC
than any other nations on earth, begging
Washington politicians to always make policy in
their favour, how can such country save us from
USD?
Has anyone asked why China hasn't built any
refinery in Nigeria?? They have the money, they
want the profit, but never did it.
If China does anything against Washington
interest in Nigeria, USA have too much political
power over China, they will just tell them not to do
it. China will continue to inflate the contract price,
refuse to complete the project and deceive us
further.
I don't blame Chinese leaders for trying to scam
us, I blame our leaders for not being smart
enough. What do you expect when you have
political hacks negotiating on behalf of Nigeria
against smart professionals from China. I was
thinking Nigeria political leaders will do research
about Chinese lobbyists in Washington and
understand the interest they are protecting before
believing in Chinese version of Trojan horse.
We are the only one that can help ourselves, let's
implement true federalism system and free
market. Development is a culture and not a
product, we can't buy it no matter how much
money we have or borrow.

Very insightful. Our problem is that our leaders politicize everything, we do not have intellectuals and strategists, all we have are evil politicians.

Haha wetin wake dem up? After dem don see video of fat, healthy Chibok girls they are matching to continue the propaganda

omobaekiti:
Better for it to be signed by 2017 January than have a budget like we use to have,this here is budget of change.

Hahaha yes it is the real budget of chanji

Eya men no get shame, dey fear women One day that bill will be passed.

1st quarter of the year, and the budget has not been signed

No meaningful projects on ground, all we hear is, "We will" Imagine borrowing to fund a budget such as ours? SMH

So BH never die finish?

Your second question is confusing, what point were you trying to make?

Wherever there are APC members in charge there must be confusion. At this rate the budget will be signed by Dec 2016.

Awwwwww she's pretty.... Sorrow may last for the night buy 'joy' comes in the morning, I think you should name her Joy

GNLD

The plot is unraveling, abeg make una release those girls jor

Another evidence to show that this whole BH saga was supported by some strong men even in the military. Congrats to the judge for this insightful judgement.

All na to ridicule GEJ, but the truth will keep prevailing

Where dem keep the girls na? Look at how well fed they are. Does someone expect me to believe that these chubby, neat girls live in a forest somewhere in captivity?

Compare them to pics of women and children rescued from BH, you will notice the difference.

Is it those BH skeletons we see in pictures from Sambisa that kept these girls as well fed as this?

Whoever is responsible for their upkeep, you can let those girls go now, you have succeeded

From Two billion dollars to six billion? Why the initial lie nau

Ioannes:
did you even read what was written above?

or maybe i'm over-rating your ability to be able to read.

" £860 million in foreign aid to Nigeria to support the efforts to crush Boko Haram", i am not talking of the amount given by the American govt which no one has been convicted of squandering yet, he should kindly explain the money given by the UK govt.

Buhari kindly account for the aid money given to you by the West to fight the war

2sexyus:
With all due respect to Innoson, as an Igbo son myself, what he does is assembling parts please, thought better than non. Which Nigerian company manufacture engines? At least not when Ajaokuta steel complex is in comatose.

Ask Amaechi why he cancelled the University of technology in ND? which was a GEJ project, our evil politicians are to blame for this

2sexyus:
As much as I agree with you, by now we should at least be technologically grown to make some machines, tools, electronics right here in the country but power supply has been at a dismal low ebb ever since Nigeria was born and thus, stunting the growth of that sector. Science and technology is the way forward in this country but no government,whether past or present, is giving that a chance.

Haven't you heard of Innoson and Omatek?

otil1:
When they say 16 years of waste, I believe they pray that ALL Nigerians become 16years old and unable to remember life prior to 1999.

Can APC prove to Nigerians that pre-1999 Nigeria is better than Nigeria at May 29th, 2015? Never!

Given, there have been lost opportunities that should have been tapped. No doubt about that.

But the key issue now is that given the rate of performance of APC-led administration, now is the time to talk about waste.

Or is it not clear to all and sundry that Nigeria has lost the first critical 1year of a new administration?

-Roads paved -zero
-Rails added -zero
-New Power generating capacity -zero
-Running existing power installation -negative
-Jobs -negative (job losses)
-Naira exchange rate - lowest ever
-Inflation rate - highest ever

Meanwhile, the 16 years they like to refer to are the 16 years that ushered in:

-GSM, an empowerment too in the hand of every Nigerian
-ATM, Nigerians now part of global financial system with Visa and Mastercard usable globally (until Buhari came to power)
-Bank consolidation (bye bye to failed bank syndrom)
-Bank recapitalisation, making our financial institutions acceptable all over the globe
-Credible elections (now a worsening indices)
-Self sufficiency in Cement
-Self sufficiency in Rice
-self sufficiency in Cassava
-Self sufficiency in Poultry; all thanks to food security programmes
-IPP that grew our power generating capcity to over 10,000MW. 1st ever.
-Paved road -35,000km by GEJ alone
-Min wage from below N4,000 to N18,000
-new rail projects
-new airport terminals
-New international airports (Enugu, Akwa Ibom)
-Numerous new domestic airports (Asaba,Ilorin,etc.)
-more
-and more

A beg, Nigeria moved forward last 16 years.

GBAM

Fake story, PDP Rivers statement on this issue was full of sarcasm not support

OP, live selflessly, you will find meaning.

Hallack:
Translated: what is this?

For what?

Why white children full every where

Haha despite terrorizing ND citizens with their military might Tompolo remains in Nigeria without the government knowing where he is

We will gradually become an enemy of the West as there is an existing distrust between Chinese /allies and the West. More Chinese interests and fake products will flood our markets, their language will be increasingly tolerated, their currency may soon replace the dollar here etc In short more slave treatment for Nigerians working under them.
