We all have to understand that no country in this world will just hand over monies and properties built in that country just because they like your face without getting something in return. The monies they agree to repatriate are circulating In their economy and to just cash they out to you can actually affect that country. Moreover what do they even produce!

DropShot:

And we chose to move forward by kicking out the uninspiring president who has gone down in Nigeria's history as the most corrupt, most backward and most wasteful government in the nation's history.

Most wasteful.... The 2016 budget comes to mind.
Lolzz.. PDP ate your yams, Apc has only come to eat your barns.




Dropshot and Edcure had better secure bookings at the Royal Rumble Match tommorrow if they are man enough, Roman Reigns would be more than happy to whoop your zombitic arses! Two crazy guys fighting over dullapore!

DropShot:

And you think that makes any sense?
So, how do we know if the president's reasons were superior to theirs or not?

Okimski:
However, they felt that Nigeria gave away too much in terms of it's bilateral economic interests in order to achieve the president’s major goal.

Feeling of "Nigeria gave away too much" is relative and not absolute. What are the things Nigeria gave away in UAE agreeing to repatriate criminals and their loots?

i hope diz ppl will not mistakenly sign nigeria into slaveryyy....

Whatever dude.. My statement is an open statement which I take ful responsibility of, that's if you provide a post where I bashed Adeosu and called her clueless. On the other hand, it goes your way if you fail to provide such proof. I hate liars and a situation where you accuse me wrongly, I should be allowed to say whatever I wish to you.

Btw, I don't give a hoot whoever you choose to call. If you like call Hitler, Idi'Amin or Buhari, I won't edit my initial post. Highest na ban I go chop...

Ok you will hear from me

I will mention you when i am ready

Perhaps you would want us to believe those two ministers are daft and don't know what they are doing. Why appoint them if that's what they are?

lofty900:
As far as I'm concerned, I don't see anything wrong with signing the trade agreements if it will help bring back our stolen funds and fight terrorism in the name of Islam. The ministers advising him did not even give any reason to back up their claims that it would not be in our interests. I support bubu jor.

so you didn't read this abi ''ministers’ arguments that the economic agreements between Nigeria and the UAE were weighted against Nigeria’s interests.''

Ioannes:
Mr. president. why have ministers if you won't listen to their advice. another obasanjo in the making.

well we know who to hold responsible if this goes south. #watching.

well done sahara reporters. you guys rock.

he listened, just not taking it. gej that allowed his ministers to run riot nko

I have thought that the best way to recoup money is to give a 30 day window in which all stolen funds should be returned and then go on massive prosecution of those who fail to use the window. That will cost the FG very little and give it maximum gains.

There is no proof now that results will be achieved the way it is being fought now. Our resident should listen to counsel if he does not want to go into the black pages as some of his predecessors.

If force can work wonders, Nigeria should have changed 30 years ago when PMB and Idiagbon ruled with iron fist. If PMB succeeds in convicting people and seizing their funds, another government may come tomorrow and grant pardons and return the funds. Let us think deep and far. A truth commission can serve us better. Restructuring, reforming should take primary attention and not incarcerations.

Olisa metuh is being turned into a star now as he will surely garner public sympathy, and if care is not taken the hunter can become the hunted.

Wisdom is paramount.

ayindejimmy:
I'm not convinced on this such signing can't be a one day or even one trip affair. All the modalities would have been drafted and agreed upon right from Nigeria before leaving for Dubai.
I'll want to read more on this before drawing a conclusion

A beggar has no choice.

Nigeria is in no position to be making demands because she is the one that needs help and has nothing to offer.

What is in it for UAE? Oil? They already have it in surplus. What is Nigeria's bargaining chip? Zilch!

Well, do we now see that the minister of finance(kemi adeosun) is very well knowledgeable after all. Nigerians, lets give her a chance and support her to make nigeria better.

Candyrain:

Going by your reasoning, appointed ministers should be allowed to take decisions at will without questioning. In case you don't know, it's that same style that made Jonathan's govt into an overall failure. Think deep!

mikolo80:

good point. but I would have taken another look at the agreement before signing... but then again, maybe he did.

Pavarottii:

U think jailing people and putting dem in prison is the best way to fight corruption? Den u r not academically sound and politically exposed. All these patterns av been used before, did it stop corruption?

If putting Nigerian thieves fails to stop corruption, then government should start executing the Nigerian thieves.

If 90 percent of Nigerians are thieves, then 90 percent of Nigerians ought to be executed. The remaining 10 percent that are cultured enough should run the country.

Seriously! I think BUHARI has failed. He can't achieve anything. Rubbish government. APC disappointed me

Why are people complaining? The man said he will fight corruption to a standstill, meaning he will fight corruption till Nigerian economy comes to a standstill. He is on course already, so stop whining. He is delivering on his promise.

Reference:


When a child becomes an adult God expects him to start taking responsibility and thus God no longer imputs his father's sins but his own. When will you start holding this government accountable for its own actions. If the PDP is responsible for everything, are we them implying they would be responsible for the outcome of the 2019 polls. Will you accept that.

Fashola your much acclaimed hero forged a legacy entirely of his own and surpassed his predecessor's achievements despite their several tiffs and oft having his hands tied. Buhari no doubt has been dealt a bad stack of cards but he has more than made up for that by owing no man anything. He has no present encumbrances, tied to no apron strings of people or institutions. He has the proverbial yam and knife. He has it all, so he and no one has any excuses for whatever outcome his decisions produce. Even his party is beginning to distance itself from some of the things happening just as the SMC by 1985.

This cost was evitable but PDP leaves Nigeria no choice. I wonder why you think Fashola is my hero

2rez:


Adeosun, Udoma, why acting suspicious? The shoe wey una wear wey dey pinch, talk true, una steal am Anywhichway, synchronization of 6 bilateral agreement on point jor.

Later you will cry that the economy is in dire straits. Voting Buhari is the greatest mistake Nigerians have made

Nobody is saying they should not be questioned but when a professional gives you an advice you better stick to it especially if you are a Buhari who is out of touch with modern dynamics in economic diplomacy

but u do knw Dubai is also a tourist haven 4 Nigerians. Fayose has been there twice, Tiwa Savage and 2face had their wedding their, Ffk allegedly has a property their and i knw of many biz women that go there to shop. So we arent beggers. It's a balanced deal

EdCure:
Buhari should listen to good advice abeg. There is more to governance than the repatriation of stolen funds and jailing criminals.
His ill-advised (and unnecessary) delay in making key appointments is part of what led to the mess we're currently experiencing in this country.

As much as the war on corruption should be sustained, the president need not make it his own personal priority. There are lots of government agencies with competent hands to do that, with full presidential backing.

It will be a grave sin if I don't commend you for this objective post . . . . . . . Well-done brother . . . . . . . . .

Degis:

Just like NOI, Emefiele, Dasuki and others who were deemed professionals were not questioned till the economy was crashed. Right?

Another point in time for Wailers and the likes to throw punches at the president going by so many comments thus far.

Udoma and Kemi, we know you're a team, but let BuBu have his way on this one.

The UAE's major export outflow is oil, i might be wrong but i think so. We have oil too -- but oil revenue and worth is dwindling by the day. UAE knows this too. Should we sign agreement with them that they should come and build refineries for us?

Their major IGR is Tourism, in this also i might be wrong too but i think so. We have good tourist attractive potentials too, ours is natural but theirs is capitally intensive, building cities in deserts. We can develop too in tourism and capitally, which is where this government is going, by making sure capital expenditure is high in our yearly budgets. Is it the UAE that's building Eko Atlantic?

In the two sources of income i mentioned above, between Nigeria and the UAE, we are more or less competitors.

And so the only thing we can gain from this agreement, i must confess i haven't read it is; getting back all our looted funds stashed in foreign UAE accounts. Which ever way this is done i don't care, the agreement should specify.

Simply BuBu is right on this. He so much believe in Nigeria and so am i.

God Bless the President.

Obamina:
whatever Mr Buhari does in favour of this country is right...i Don't even trust some of these ministers with secrete advisers and associates who have looted this country in past, maybe this agreement is gonna dig them out. Udo ad Kemi stay clear cos u ain't advisers but ministers.

Hallmark of a zombified brain is when you declare an human infallible . . . . .Damn !!

Then, there is no need for the Federal Executive Council (FEC).

Same reason why Obj failed..too much knowledge or egocentricity will do more harm than good..The man is a trained General but when it coes to economic matters he ought to listen to the voice of reason.. Which is experts view on national matters..A leader that refuses to listen to the sound argument of his Aids will have himself to blame when the chips are down.

Waiting for them to come denial it....as usual.
