And i still remember vividly how many Nigerians were chanting "Sai Baba" sometimes last year while calling one other guy from the south south "Clueless Jona-daft"... Just look around we country now,, wetin deh happen?

APC = Change!
PDP = Change de Change!

And all this happens only in Africa's most populous nation. Why?

dont mind them jare

The disservice this government is doing to us don pass their good work o.

The situation is very bad.

I wanted to buy syringe 2 days ago and I heard the price changed from N10 to N30 it wowed me.

Apart from the government, we the citizens are our problem. If we can remove greed and work towards a better nigeria, things will move forward. Hundreds or thousands are making serious money as we speak. The emir of kano gave an example this week.

Truth be told, Buhari is not the leader needed for such the time as this. He is like a square peg in a round hole. He is causing more problem instead of solution. This is why things will continue to deteriorate as long as he is part of the equation.
A good leader must have a passion for the project he embarks on. Passion includes vision, enthusiasm, drive, determination, and creativity. Buhar has none of these qualities.

I pity this country cuz soon even the poor wild feed on the rich

What's your take on this bad news for those who shouted change during the election? The wicked and greedy politicians will go down low and God will protect & provide for his own in Jesus name Amen!

LAGOS—MARITIME Workers Union of Nigeria,
MWUN, yesterday, said no fewer than 20
shipping companies, had shut operations in
Nigeria due to unfavourable government’
policies, leading to the retrenchment of over
3000 workers in the last one year.
At a briefing, President-General of the
union, Mr. Anthony Emmanuel Nted, among
other things, lamented that the jobs of over
2000 workers were also on the line and called
on President Muhammadu Buhari to intervene
to save the sector from imminent collapse.
Nted who declined to name the affected
shipping companies, said they were verifiable
in the ports, however warned that many more
shipping companies were on the verge of
folding up and were only doing skeletal
services at the moment.
Continuing, he said:” Today, we lament the
action of the management of Nigeria Ports
Authority, NPA, in also planning to sack a
section of the Dockworkers, especially the
Tally Clerks and Onboard Security men in spite
of their importance and relevance in the Port
operations, as it affects the reoccurring
scourge of tonnage under declaration and its
negative impact on the nation’s economy.
“The leakage of revenue through under
declaration of tonnage should be seriously
tackled. In this regard, we reiterate that Tally
Clerks and Onboard Security men should be
allowed to continue the critical job of
uncovering and discouraging under tonnage
which is often done with the unholy
collaboration of NPA, shipping companies,
agents and terminal operators. The Tally Clerks
and onboard security men are capable of
preventing these economic crimes as they were
doing through their independent and physical
tallying process. “Over 2000 workers(Tally
clerks and onboard security men) are involved.
Their reinstatement will go a long way in
reducing the number of unemployed Nigerians,
and also reducing the misery of their families.”
The union demanded among others that “All
access roads to the ports as a matter of
urgency, should be expanded and rehabilitated
to handle cargo traffic in the ports. The
traditional rail operations in our seaports
should be restored to reduce the pressure on
our highways and daily fatal accidents and
deaths from containers. Waterways should be
developed for delivery of laden containers and
heavy equipment through our coastal waters
into the hinterland. The tank-farms which
are now dangerously located close to the
ports, residential areas and along the
expressways and access roads close to the
ports should be relocated far away from the
seaports to stave-off the perennial gridlocks
on the roads.
“The volume of vehicles imported into Nigeria
through Nigerian ports has collapsed to an all-
time low, with consequent loss of thousands
of jobs in the maritime sector. The new duty
regime for vehicles introduced since 2004 and
application of the new rate of exchange rate
for duty calculations have made the
importation of cars and trucks into Nigeria far
too expensive. In the last two years, the
number of vehicles arriving Nigeria has shrunk
by almost two thirds, while the volume of cars
smuggled through the Cotonou Border has
continued to rise unabated. It is therefore
necessary that the Federal Government
reviews its stance on the Automative policy so
as not to inflict any more suffering on the
workers who are already having a hard time
with price increases every day.
“The Federal Government should look at
making the importation of cars and trucks
more competitive to enable the economy to
grow. A significant reduction in the duties
applicable on cars and trucks will go a long
way in alleviating the challenges of our people
and spur economic activities. “Government
should as a matter of urgency adopt policies
towards resuscitating the export of
agricultural produces and mineral resources
that were hitherto the main stay of the
Nigerian economy before the discovery of oil.
This will no doubt create jobs in our seaports
and increase revenue for the government.”

name the shipping companies so that i will apply for my refund b4 they chop my money.



my money is at stake

Fact! Just that you realized it a little too late. Even an Atiku is a far better option than Buhari when anti corruption pretence is kept aside. Why? Atiku has known successful businesses and would have brought the acumen to bear on our nation's affairs. But Buhari currently sees the nation of 170m people as one big cattle ranch

All sectors of the economy is gradually shutting down under the watchful eyes of buhari and his goons.... .... .. .. change from positive to negativity.

We warned them that they should not sacrifice Nigeria's steady growth on the altar of tribalism and religious sentiments.

They refused to listen.

We pleaded to them to at least get some books out and read historical anecdotes of the bubonic backwardness of the man, Buhari. He crashed the economy in 1984 to recession, we warned them.

They still shouted change.

Well, you have the change you want. This is barely two years in. By the time Buhari goes for his second term, you will understand better. You dumb heads will be forced to withdraw the unnecessary hate you have for GEJ. You'll find that it was very unnecessary. Very.

Fire on with your cluelessness, Buhari.

Sai Buhari 2019!

Lamexx:
Do you mean 3000 dock rats. They are ghost workers - Zombies

Buhari is transforming the economy - Afonja

We desperately need restructuring - IPOD

We hope to improve our maritime sector by blocking leakages - Lie Mohammed

CHANGE has reached the Maritime sector. Unstable companies are leaving the sector leaving room for more viable companies to come in - Minister Ameachi.

Thank God I didn't vote this dullard in. Every news in the last one year has been negative. I just give up.

true talk

This is bad, really bad. Bad news has become the order of the day, from job losses to deaths and misplaced economic priorities. In this present time, the suffering that is hitting our dear country Nigeria is so intense to the extent that feeding has become a major problem for the average family.

Nigeria has never had it this bad. For everyone that voted for pa buhari, just know you have done this country a great dis-service and may your lives be ruled and governed the way he is governing this country.

How can one choose change over transformation, without asking what kind of change is being promised.

everybody know this, but now is not d time to blame, we need solution, btw can't he b impeached

I thought he can be voted out

innoson motors comes to mind. we need more of Assembled in naija cars that will someday generate revenue through exportation than depending on imported tokunbo cars.

God bless Naija
God bless My Presidential

The people are the power but it seems we don't know this. We need to be united and call for his resignation.

It won't be easy but it's not impossible and then it's better to try than sit miserably quiet till the country totally crumbles.

my own be say this Christmas go tough ehn!

Buhari is working!!!

3000 added to the millions out there.
This Army Buhari is building will one day explode nd bring nigeria to a halt.

President Buhari, why now?
How did you let the biggest economy in Africa become so bad in just 15 months?
Were you forced to contest when you know that you are not capable?

luvinhubby:
And you do not consider other ancidiary coys linked up to them.

Some people just open their bum and stuff their head innit....

Does he think shipping is a small business...
Ordinary pharmacy dey get 30 employees n more....

Where are the e- gladiators?

l guess they are among the 129 guests viewing this thread without commenting..

Shame....

That is what we get when we ignorantly choice badluck instead of Goodluck.If we don't know some leaders are a curse while some are a blessing, guess now we should know, give Goodluck same position of the dullard now and God will work wonders .3000 workers, that's a lot of number. Jst hope they are settled if not suffering and plot for evil deed jst increase.

Syringe prices are going up because we import most of them.

When oil prices were high, and we had enough dollars to import,it was of no consequence.Now ...with low oil prices....weno longer have the dollars to import.

We have to start making our own stuff.

The change is real.

Sad to say, Buhari's ear has infection. No word can be heard at this point.

Not suprised.
In the north,if u kill a cattle u are in big trouble and u might be killed at once,but if u kill a human being u might be forgiven...!And buhari's indifference to people's sufferings is not a suprise

Unfortunately, the appropriate quarter got ear problem

Union people know how to tell lies, they just want to give the government a bad name.
