okomogo:
Yet people will blame the president for all these. But I still think there's something fishy about this Dasuki’s case. While the attention on Dasuki since baba took over office. I'm not saying the allegations are not true but something does not just add up to the way Buhari is following up this man. I bet they are not telling us the real story.

Fool!
France,one of the 5 most developed nations in the world with the most advanced of technologies and just recovering from a terrorist attack about 3months earlier, which caused it to even go on heightened security alert, was still attacked by ISIL,in 3 public gatherings for that matter!
For the present govt for have reduced BH attacks to isolated suicide bombings is a remarkable fit on its own.
Don't 4get BH is now affiliated to ISIL which wud have made it a more dangerous outfit, yet the govt has got them on the run.
If the fisherman had still been in saddle ,with BH getting support from ISIL,by now they wud have taken over your village and your entire household.
I wonder when your type wud have some sense.
Did that reported explosion sound like anyone is on the run now?
Career › Re: Airtel Sacks Workers, Pays Off Affected Staff by porka: 10:06pm On Nov 17, 2015
seunmsg:
Trash. Corporate organisation have been downsizing for various reason since time immemorial. Some downsize for strategic reasons, others downsize as a result of poor management decisions in the past while some downsize as a result of economic downturn in their environment of operations. It is just plain mischief or outright ignorance to accuse a five months old administration of being responsible for airtel's decision to sack its workers when the company has not come out openly to tell the public the reason behind their decision.
Except you are operating from one remote farm settlement (maybe Ikire oko), it's 'plain mischief' for you to claim that this 5 month old administration's lack of direction is not responsible for the acute downturn in the economy.

When capital market is down, they tell us 'oh, we don't really need portfolio investment'

When manufacturers make huge loses and downsize their workforce due to lack of access to needed foreign exchange for their raw materials and equipment, they say 'oh, those people are aiding looting of 'treasury'

When the financial institutions layoff thousands, we hear from our roadside analysts how the bankers have been aiding corruption.

The telecoms sector is next now to downsize their staff due to unfavorable business environment, and we are already hearing 'dogo turechi'.

You that has been calling for devaluation I hope you read this part.



Have you now seen that it has always been about Africa and the west.

Developed vs underdeveloped

Industrialised vs 3rd world countries.

Thank God we have a president that have the balls to implement his own policies.

Is Thailand a developed country?

Is it part of the conspiracy to waste 6 months before forming an 'ordinary cabinet'?

Is it also part of that conspiracy not to send an ordinary director to WTO to 'justify' the 'policy'?

It was not a 'conspiracy' when American government was disgracing Nigeria all over the world, blocking the military's access to the needed weapons to combat terrorists?

It's a week since the so-called cabinet has been reluctantly inaugurated, have they approached the WTO to explain? Why have they not done so?

the percentage is not fair but Fayose didnt understand it. He thought PMB contracted them. BUT PMB ERROR TO ALLOW SUCH TRANSACTIONS BUT LETS NOT FORGET THAT PDP/IGBO GROUP ALWAYS CRY OF DICTATORSHIP WHENEVER PMB CHANGE OR TERMINATE CONTRACTS THAT WERE INITIATED BY GEJ.
That's not an excuse my friend.

PDP/Fayose are currently in the opposition.

They are watching every move of the present government and are within their constitutional rights to ask questions.

From all indications, it is Buhari and APC who either didn't understand TSA or are trying to be fraudulent as alleged by Fayose.

Because if they have the grasp of the system or they are not being fraudulent, the APC we know would have gone to town with intense propaganda of how they have saved 'trillions' that would have been 'lost' to consultants through 'inflated' consultancy charges.

And the worshipers would have been chanting 'sai baba' unend.

jomoh:
Tell us what is wrong about the TSA?

Apart from the software developer's charge of 1% for their service?

If that is the only thing wrong with why not tell the FG to change the software developer or tell the FG to simply remove a 3rd party software.

No one is forcing anybody but the truth is that Fayose has seen the TSA will make governance more transparent than it presently is.

It will be very hard if not impossible to use different ministries to steal unlike the way it used to be.

Whether Fayose likes it or not he will eventually have no choice when the policy is taken to the House to be included in the laws guiding management of government accounts in Nigeria.
But is that not what he said?

Did you bother to read the content beyond the headline?

He said the percentage is questionable. He said it could be negotiated downward. He said there's no basis for justification of paying 25b naira to few people. He said Ekiti won't participate until those issues are addressed. Are you saying these are not solid issues to be sorted?

BTW the same lawmakers you are running to are the same people probing the TSA implementation under Buhari.

And why did the company deduct Nigeria's money just like that?

Are they not supposed to be paid by government, through legal appropriation?

If they can deduct Nigeria's money without recourse to any due process, can't we conclude that the system is fraudulent?

TSA was designed to block leakages in the system, how comes a 'super-mega' leakage is being introduced?

Fayose, by the above claim, has publicly advertised his ignorance and poor grasp of simple economics! The man is simply dumb and un-intelligent! Now, I believe someone who once said he was a 'below the average' student at polytechnic, Ibadan! He has never reasoned intelligently on any economic issues and his outbursts on political and social issues are so far disappointing and indicative of low intelligence! He has the right to exclude his state from TSA initiative, but he should stop presenting unfounded, beer-parlour rumours as facts! He should respect his office and the well educated people of Ekiti State, please!
How is it unfounded?

Why did they ask for refund of already deducted money?

Why did the company make the refund?

Are you saying that you agree with 1% going to few stakeholders while 140+m people take 99%?

You mean you don't see anything wrong with that?

You seem not to be bothered about the commission paid so long as it doesn't touch the lawmakers' palms.

MyMouth:
I jus have a feeling this woman would perform. She would defiantly want to prove doubting thomas wrong!
Why are you people always anchoring your judgment on feelings?

The lady is certainly going to learn on the job, having no requisite experience for the office. While this may not be bad on its own, experimenting with the country's economy at this time is very dangerous.

They can appoint someone with better experience to put her through while the country stabilizes, and then she can take charge at one point or another.

Let's not always be using 'feelings' without rational basis.

Can't see where 'feelings' on Buhari is leading the country?

Yet, there's no rational explanation on the direction of the country now other than more 'feelings' - that things 'might' get better.

This is certainly not risk taking, it's gambling. Risk taking involves some elements of quantitative and qualitative assessments, gambling is based on feelings/luck/probability.

Nations' economies are not run on feelings.

You do not have to pray that you are wrong. You are totally wrong. Okonjo started from no where under Obj until she was able to assert herself. We are talking about a former commissioner of finance here. What investment did Okonjo bring into the country ? When the Europeans n Americans were afraid to invest in Nigeria and OBJ had to solicit investors from South Africa with the coming of Shoprite, MTN n co what investment did Okonjo bring from the world bank ?
lol...

Okonjo-Iweala was already a VP in the World Bank Group before she joined Obasanjo's government. You are not saying that is proportionate to Ogun State commissioner for finance, are you?

BTW Emefiele was the MD of Zenith Bank before his appointment, are you happy with the monetary policies now?

So did nigeria under okonjo iweala not borrow money this year to pay salaries?

The same people want a younger generation to take over, the same people critisize her before she even starts work, are you aware that there are a lot of people in the background that you won't see?
banki, there are more than 100 other better qualified youths to choose from, that is if our problem is youth based.

By saying there are people on the background to direct her, you are already admitting her deficiency. Taking orders from any 'cabal' will put Nigeria in serious mess.

There's nothing wrong if she understudies someone for now.

She has started work already. It's 3 days now since she was sworn-in and no TANGIBLE statement from her on even the least issue in the economy.

Did the court ask the money to be shared or how am I to blame for the failures of a weakling and his minister ? How my governs dare such under OBJ and how many governors will dare that under Buhari and how many even dare that under Yar'dua ?
It's about the constitutionality of the account.

They started the agitation from Obasanjo time with Bukola Saraki as the arrowhead.

They started sharing during Yaradua's administration.

You are overrating Buhari, no single Nigerian president can withstand the governors when they are united. Ibori and Kalu plotted to remove Obasanjo and install Atiku until he begged them.
Politics › Re: Is Kemi Really Ripe For Finance Minister? by porka:
This finance minister pick is making everything looks gloomier.

There's no single excitement in the market. The international financial community doesn't seem to know what direction her appointment will lead to. Some are already suggesting she would be under under Udo Udoma.

Even Kemi herself said her co-commissioners find it difficult to belief she's a commissioner during FAAC meetings.

And to add salt on injury, there's already an ineffective CBN governor who is experimenting his classroom theories using over 140m lives as guinea pigs. The combination of the current CBN governor and Kemi is scary for Nigeria's economy.

It's in the best interest of everyone for Kemi to be redeployed as Minister of State - Finance, to oversee monthly FAAC meetings so that someone with better understanding of the precarious economic situation would take charge.

Let Buhari and her other godfathers spare Nigerians of the imminent trial and error economic direction. Five months is already wasted.
