Barrack Obama doesn't believe in Christmas.

He did everything he could to whittle down the influence of Judeo/Christian values on America.

He almost removed the word Christmas from Americans" lexicon, promoting instead a "fashionable" word like HOLIDAY, in order not to "offend" other faiths.

At a point he said America was not a Christian nation.

He would latch on anything to feed his complex; a feeling of emptiness that always craves societal approval.

Now that Christmas and other Christian values are being restored, he is back with his narcissistic exhibitions.

Amechi has been test running uncompleted projects since 1805.

PDP successfully raised the minimum wage from N7500 to N18000 (a 140% increase) without any noise.

The impact was monumental on the lives of the workers.

New houses sprang up all over the country within few years.

Many workers transitioned to middle-class.

They could train their children in schools without N10,000 TraderMoni from anyone.

All of that has been wiped out within so short a time, sadly.

It is a good thing that NBS didn't delve into underemployment. That would have been a recipe for depression.

Everything was captured.

PassingShot:
We shall overcome.

Informal jobs and self-employed are not captured in this data.

Judging by this:
“Working age population up from 111.1m in Q3 2017 to 115.4m in Q3 2018 = addition of 4.3m to the Labour Force

And "Total Employed persons(Full+Partime) up from 69.09m in Q3 2017 to 69.54m in Q3 2018,” = addition of 4.6million jobs.

So, it's a net gain!

The headline is very misleading.

You are very poor at ordinary arithmetic.

Mynd44:
When they say unemployed population grew, it means that when you removed those who retired and those who dies and those who became of age and stopped being dependants

You are confusing yourself.

Read the report first and stop spewing unintelligible things everywhere.

There is a portion for reasons for being unemployed there.

You are not doing yourself any good by talking about what you have little understanding of.

Mynd44:
Actually, if working age population grew from 111.1m to 115.4m, it means 4.3 people entered the working age population

But unemployed grew from 17.6 million to 20.9million which is 3.3 million.

Meaning in the time frame, 1 million jobs were created in the time space but not enough to absolved the growing population.


You people need to ease up in the unprotected sex I swear

Total Employed persons(Full+Partime)up from 69.09m in Q3 2017 to 69.54m in Q3 2018

Resident Nairaland defender of APC, where did you see your own 1m jobs created?

holuwajobar:
The bolded, I use mbbs and law because that's what most parents tell their ward to study.

It is misleading to say "most parents". Most depicts majority and there's no way we can measure these sort of things accurately.

Normal parents would naturally wish their children well by guiding them aright.

Many parents would prefer a career in STEM fields (science, technologies, engineering and mathematics) because they offer better opportunities than others.

Many of them have had to rue their choices in life and would prefer their children be guided properly.

When it comes to career and life endeavours, parents have seen it all.

If you are blessed with parents who take your matter seriously by assisting to navigate your career path, be thankful.

And it is not peculiar to Nigerian or African parents. You may read Steven Silbiger's The Jewish Phenomenon for more insights.

If your father's name is John D. Rockefeller or Rothschild you may decide to chose a career as a DJ.

Young people, always listen to your parents. They have traveled the path before. They know the reality on ground.

They know your capacity, what you can do and what you cannot do.

Don't get carried away with this kind of advise.

It will do you no good.

This kind of advise can only set you up as a beneficiary of TraderMoni, N-Power and the like.

It is obvious that this guy has a huge complex, especially with his repeated mention of medicine and surgery and law.

Believe in yourself. But be reasonable.

People study principally because you want to make a living. It is less about feeling cool. Making a living is not a joke.

Make sure you chose a course that gives you training and skill; that guarantees you earning income as quickly and as independently as possible.

It is not every course that guarantees this.

You can still study medicine or law after your first degree. Do not let anyone tell you otherwise. Pursue it. It is worth it.

By the time you are getting inducted as a medical doctor, that your microbiology graduate friend might still be disoriented without any job offer or opportunity.

APC's definition of people is cow.

They meant the document is not COW FRIENDLY.

Relax!

Their own TraderMoni will hit their accounts in a jiffy.

If PDP were able to do the rail track even in between a state , i belive in 16years , they would have completed the rail track across the 36 state but here you are crying foul.

Sometimes i always wondering who do us this hard thing that many youths cannot even think straight anymore just for personal or political emotions.

anyway, quickly use that rope in real life as well so as to help your ministry..

Abuja-Kaduna railway was started and completed by the PDP.

seanfer:
If GEJ and PDP are responsible how come the Project they flagged off in[b]May 2013[/b] is not up to 60% when they're leaving the Government exactly 2 years Later?

If GEJ gave them money from the 2015 Budget you and I know that the Contractors won't leave site... Or It is Buhari Government that passed the 2015 Budget?

July 2013 not May 2013.

Nigeria's government was shutdown for six months from May 29, 2015.

You can check with RCC and Julius Berger.

7lives:
See how you just disgrace yourself, master plan since 2002 and Buhari is still working on it in 2018.
SHIOR.

Have you seen a dictionary before?

Do you know how to use it?

Let your area brother show you one and how to look up meanings of words you don't understand in it.

Oblang:
U are saying trash. Do u know they ve bin working on lagos-ibadan road since obasanjo's days? If PDP can't do any reasonable work on the road for 16yrs, why telling reasonable ppl to vote out a party that have done something significant on the road in 3yrs. U must think ppl are draft...

If any significant thing has been done there in the last three years, why is the completion date shifted from 2017 (that was set during flag off in 2013) to 2021 now?

seanfer:
I hope you saw the news and video where Saraki said they cut the Lag/Ibd road project by 30 billion in the 2018 budget, How do you expect the Executive to finish it? East/West road which is less than 1,000 Km has been on for over 10 years and no tangible progress has been made... Lag/Ibd express was flagged off in 2014 and we all know the politics that was going on.... Like I said My Area we are voting for a government that remember us and now things are changing in the area for even those selling sachet water are making more sales due to the construction going on.... Let the regions that benefited from PDP vote for them, and at the end of the day the Majority will have their way and the Minoritt have their Say... Beauty of Democracy...It’s as simple as that

Buhari's government did not start in 2018.

Before the 2018 budget there were two solid budgets, precisely 2016 and 2017, did Saraki cut those ones too?

A basic google search will lead you to simple answers to your confusion.

Lagos-Ibadan expressway reconstruction was not flagged off in 2014 for politics as you falsely claimed.

It was flagged off on 5th July 2013 to be completed in 2017. You can read and watch the footage on the link below

Jonathan Flags-Off N167 billion Reconstruction Of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
Channels Television

By the time Buhari assumed office in 2015, all the heavy lifting has been done.

For six month after Buhari's inauguration, the two contractors abandoned sites only to resume skeletal works in about a year later, and they have been dragging ever since - 50 meters today 20 meters tomorrow.

Every region benefited from the high GDP growth of PDP governments.

The South West youths benefited from jobs, corporate jobs, and increased human quality than any other region. (Definitely not sachet water selling jobs).

Lagos and Ogun were the direct destination of massive FDIs during that era.

And as you can see, the region hardest hit with Buhari's poor economic management is the same South West - many of the jobs losses and company closures in the last 3 years happened in the South West.

Except you guys are not sincere with your assessment. It's hard to see what you have gained in the last three years.

You can see the aftermath of the economic devastation on the quality of life in your neighborhood, bright youngsters daily burying themselves in drinking and pool betting.

It's Lagos-Ibadan railway. There's still a long way to go from where you are.

You don't necessarily pray that the project gets abandoned but try and temper your optimism with caution till it's done and you ride in it.

After using these pictures to win elections and riding on your bitterness towards Daniel anything can happen.

The Lagos-Ibadan expressway should have been completed by now but they are still there.

Lagos metroline project is not abandoned but not completed.

Governments come and go.

BTW how far with the "massive construction" going on along Sagamu-Ikorodu road?

eduj:
this is buharis legacy to Nigeria. His rail projects are his greatest acheivement-hope it gets to my area soon

It's not anti-corruption again?

His legacy is now rail projects not integrity again?

The Nigeria railway masterplan has been conceptualized and designed long before Buhari became president. It is a 25 year masterplan that got stalled briefly during late President Yaradua's tenure but quickly revived during Jonathan's presidency.

Buhari does not have that kind of singlemindedness to get any project started. With or without Buhari, the implementation of the railway masterplan is on course.

They want us to abandon this laudable project for a position of SGF that would be given to one Omo-Ale from Shagamu (Gbenga Daniel) Who stoke all he could set his frog eyes on when he was the State Governor between 2003-2011...

Take it easy, dont let them fool you with images. The project is still at its very early stage. Don't allow anyone raise your hope unnecessarily.

At least wait till you ride on it before you dance or curse.

Have you seen the project they handed over to Buhari to complete - Lagos-Ibadan expressway?

They are still struggling with it more than 3 years later, with the completion date now in 2021 (all things being equal).

Progress. Nigeria must develop

When elections come just like yesterday's bye-elections (APC 3 vs PDP 0) and the masses choose Govt of Infrastructure over Share the money party, do not wail so much. Go and ask Kwarans how Ilorin-Jebba road was killing them throughout PDP's wasted years of looting.
Nigerian electorates are now wise. They know who's working hard for them and who has their interest at heart.
Those who prefer looting era can relocate to Afghanistan.

Abubakar Sani-Bello, others beg Muhammadu Buhari to fix federal roads in Niger State

“Niger State is having a lot of problems with regards to security along our major roads. This include Jebba-Mokwa-Tegina-Birni Gwari road up to Kaduna. Trailers and tankers have abandoned that road because of lack of security. Most of these vehicles now pass through Mokwa-Bida-Minna road to Abuja or to Kaduna

We need reconstruction of these roads with additional security so that tanker drivers and other heavy duty trucks can go back to that road to continue their business.”

Is this what our resident zombies said will be ready for use in December?

The gullibility is pathological.

Officialpdpnig:
They even claim job losses garlore under this fg. Meanwhile investors are investing and creation more jobs.

Can you imagine the number of jobs that would be created via mtn mobile money services?

Entrepreneurs would boom big time.

If the economic environment was unfavorable as claimed by my party people, why the further investment from mtn?

They should be counting their losses and shoring up and not further investing.

Stop fooling around, they are not talking about N-Power.

This is more than the alms (TraderMoni) you are used to.

Officialpdpnig:
This is why I hate this current version of my party. I thought they said the economic policies of this current fg is chasing away investors?

Why is mtn still further investing?

PDP is cursed as long as they refuse to rebrand, they are cursed.

As long as they remain the liars and thieves as a party then thunder will fire all of them

Every investor is speculating on the outcome of the election and the possibility of a new government on May 29th next year.

APC government will be gone by end of Q2 2019, God's willing.

Hehehehehehehe

"Buhari is a religion in the north" cannot win election again?

Restructuring is now the new religion.

What about the report of the CONFAB that you put on the shelve to gather dust?

It's becoming very clear to our friends that their "Buhari is a religion in the north" song is becoming stale.

Therefore, they must quickly invent another religion to take over.

That's what El Rufai is experimenting. They will try many of such religions in the next few weeks till it dawn on them that "a hungry man cannot understand any sermon".

They are still peddling "To cost" when their illiterate supporters have been sharing pictures of the same project for months now?

How about the Lagos-Calabar railway that they said would be completed in 2 years?

They said government had paid the counterpart funding too. It's two years already.

Does anyone know when Buhari will commission this important rail project for use?

In another news:

Lagos-Ibadan express road to be completed in 2021

Dear Prof. Yemi Osinbajo

It's very obvious at this point that you need to go home and rest.

History will be very kind to you that you did not know your left from your righr when you became the vice president of Nigeria.

That is what you get when all the solution you have is threat of JAIL.

When experts talk about preventive measures you thought "JAILING" (without trial) is the ultimate and the only solution.

What will you do now - will you say people should be killed without trial?

What is the length of the remaining portion?

Does that mean that the Lagos-Ibadan railway will be completed in 2035?

Lol
