Reuters Uncovers Buhari's Lie About GE Investment In Nigeria by nku5(op): 8:11am On Oct 04, 2016
On October 1, PMB said General Electric was set to invest USD2.2 Billion in Nigeria but it turns out it was actually USD150 million.

Why must Buhari misinform Nigerians in our independence day speech? Why tell lies that people can easily verify? Has any other president of Nigeria told us as many lies as this one? Why must this man keep disgracing us everywhere?

http://mobile.reuters.com/article/idUSKCN1231LX

U.S. industrial firm General Electric (GE.N) plans to invest around $150 million in Nigeria by 2017, a senior executive said on Monday.

"There are development projects where we are investing," Jay Ireland, chief executive of General Electric in Africa told the FT Africa Summit in London. GE would also invest in oil and gas industry projects.
Growth in Nigeria - an OPEC member whose economy, the largest in Africa, is in recession for the first time in more than 20 years due to low oil prices - has been stunted for decades by a lack of investment in its road and rail network.

Ireland said the Nigeria investment was part of a plan to spend $2 billion in Africa in coming years.
But the $150 million Nigerian investment falls short of the sum Nigeria's government has said GE would invest.
President Muhammadu Buhari, on Saturday in a speech marking Nigeria's independence day, said GE was "investing $2.2 billion in a concession to revamp, provide rolling stock, and manage" some of the country's railway lines.

WhAt benefit will this government attain if it keeps lying to its zombified citizens daily


Why does this government derive fun in exaggeration of figures


What perception will foreign investors have about this government if the Number 1 citizen can go on life TV and tell a barefaced lie to its citizens



Anybody that takes this government serious needs to go for a mental check up

So GE intends to invest $2b in whole of Africa. But Buhari makes a national broadcast saying $2.2b out of $2b will be invested by GE in Nigeria alone. Truth is only $170m is planned by GE for Nigeria.

I suspect our the Lie-Lie master himself, Lie Mohammed and our Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun who has clear challenges with adding figures must have given this voodoo numbers to his boss.

If these people can be so brazen in deceiving on basic facts that are in public domain, should anyone believe anything else they are telling us?
They could not content themselves by lying that the entire $2b is coming to Nigeria. They must add jara of $200,000 just to make the lie solid.

PMB has always been lying and he must continue lying in order to cover for his precious lies!

Maybe he does not know the difference between billion and million?

my honest advice to PMB is that he should change his media team and speech writer. Even if they must lie, let it not be the kind of shameless and cheap lies that has been coming from the presidency. I am beginning to doubt the educational qualification of my president.

These politicians know that their apologists are foolish, but my problem is that they assume that all discerning Nigerians are foolish like their minions.

Sadly, Buhari will still win in 2019 even if he decides to lead Nigeria to hell fire because many people have since lost their brains...thanks to tribal, party and religious affiliations.

Nigeria is in a big mess!

Whoever didn't vote for Buhari is a Wailer right? You're worse than I thought. So your zombiefied brain tells you that only PDP and APC are the political parties we have in this country.

Pathetic.
