CastedDude:who told him he is a big man? what are the indices and criteria used to categories someone as a big man.. that is the problem with our society.. who is a big man and who is a small man.. Buhari should just let these biafran bygots go their own jeje.. these people seem to have this crazy ideology about life. how will you in all honesty say an igbo man is better off a yoruba or an hausa man.. that is the every bane of being inferior. igbo ma.. big man.. Honorable, pastor, evangelist, speaker.. royal highness, carry all the titles and decorate yourself and claim big man.. mtcheeeewww. big man my foot. |
oatzeal:If Dangote is sincere enough, i believe he should be paying more attention and interest to rail.. rail is far more cost efficient than plying trucks on our high ways.. it is gross act of irresponsibility to have federal government construct roads with hard earned tax payers money and have dangote alone ply over 10,000 trucks on road built by the government with tax payers money. Dangote is only taking liverage from the poor masses.. these truck are neusances to the roads and hazrds to the roads and in most cases reckless drivers. Rail would do us more good in haulage instead of road, or better still, dangote can support the federal government initiative to have all federal government roads run on dualised 5 carriage xpress lanes so as to have special dedicated express lane carriers for trucks like we have in developed countries, not to hav trucks competing with vehicles on the tiny one way the government has bee able to provide how many years after independence.. that obajana road is a complete disaster, dangote is supposed to have taken responsibility for that road long before now.. the okene, lokoja road is a mad death trap, kabba-obajana road where all of dangote cements come from are no go areas. the earlier we deal with ourselves with sincerity, the better for us as a Nation. |

FlirtyKaren:Look at his face like Nnamdi Kanu's own.. Moafucking Biafran bastards. |
BornStunner1:I saw this and it is worth sharing. The MONKEY MONEY MADNESS (MMM) Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced that he would buy monkeys for N100 each. The villagers seeing that there were so many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at N100 and as supply started to diminish, the villagers stopped their efforts. He further announced that he would now buy at N200. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished and people started going back to their farms. The offer rate increased to N250 but the supply of monkeys became so little that it took much effort to even see a monkey, let alone catch one. The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at N500! However, since he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy on his behalf. In the absence of the man, his assistant told the villagers: ''Look at all these monkeys in the big cage that my OGA has bought from you, I will sell them to you at N350 and when my OGA returns from the city, you can sell it to him at N500''. The villagers squeezed out all their HARD EARNED savings and bought all the monkeys. The most greedy ones among them even sold their lands to purchase many MONKEYS, hoping to make a huge profit without labor. Then... They never saw the man or his assistant. Only monkeys everywhere! Welcome to #MMM. The world of Monkeys. |

So i Read an article on the "Sale of National Asset" written by former governor of Central Bank Professor Sulodo and i was more than impressed at his common sense and critical reasoning... what is the problem with Nigeria?.. In the Yoruba Palace, selling the "Ogun" (Inheritance, Assets) inherited by the Child of a Wealthy Deceased Man is usually referred to as being abominable.. That is even pure culture and nothing to do with Economics. Any Child that sells Inheritance or assets is usually referred to as "Apa" or Akotileta".. i was shocked to my bones when this issue of selling of Public assets took center stage and became a front burner having the senate talking in terms that seems to me like tacit endorsement of selling National Assets for a short term fix to a problem that seems long-term called Nigeria.. I mean, to me, Recession isn't the problem but looking for a short cut out of a recession we opened our eyes to willing fall into is where i fault.. it is the height of gross irresponsibility for a government to think of selling National Assets for a quick fix to a recession. i keep saying it and i maintain my stands, Corruption stems from Irresponsibility and Selling National Assets just goes to prove our collectively irresponsiblility as a people we are to the country Nigeria.. Nigeria is structured such that Not The Hausa's nor Igbo's nor Yoruba's are responsible for the country as a whole, every group is infested with that sinister Ethnic agenda. i'l think instead of selling National Assets, the burning issues for now to be front burner discuss should be "Re-Structuring" the country as a whole.. Selling National assets is just kicking the can down the road and post-poning evil days. on this Burning National Issue, i beg to disagree with anybody that seems to toe the part of selling our collective heritage and taking us back to the dark days before Independence. Gradually Nigerians are silently saying to the world " we cant be responsible for ourselves and to ourselves and we need other people to be responsible for us" we need China to come build and maintain our rail systems because the Nigerian engineers are incompetent and the consortium are corrupt and irresponsible, cos after bidding for and being awarded a contract, the next thing is to flee with the money allotted for the contract with nothing shown for work done.. it is sad and pathetic.. Selling National Assets to me is gross irresponsibility and abuse of office and laziness of the whole Executive and Legislature. People just want quick easy money to siphon without doing any work whatsoever.. its really so sad. i would seek to get a little from the text of Professor sulodo that really nailed the issue on the head. Professor Soludo, who is the founder of the African Heritage Institution, expressed his opposition to the assets sale yesterday in an article titled: “Nigeria: Sale of Assets as Dangerous Policy Myopia”, stressing that if the president endorsed the proposal, it would be a historic mistake made by the country and i agree with the Professor Hook line and sinker. “Our thesis is that in extreme, exceptional circumstances, the sale of certain assets could be a last resort option but that Nigeria is currently not near that threshold and the institutional framework for its effective use is also not in place. “Furthermore, we argue that any sale of assets now amounts to chasing pennies when by acts of omission or commission, we are losing pounds. “Such a hasty auction of national assets can only benefit a privileged few with cash and access while jeopardising Nigeria’s long-term economic interest. It will be a historic mistake for the reasons stated below.” Soludo went on to express concern over the proposal to sell some valuable national assets “in order to build reserves and provide funds for immediate spending” and thus ensure that this recession will be the “shortest” ever. He acknowledged that some people had bandied the same suggestion in the past but he largely dismissed it as a joke. “But when the Senate and NEC joined the convenient but flawed call for the asset sale, I have a citizen duty to join others in letting our voice be heard. “Part of the legacy of the oil resource curse on matters of public finance is a mindset that resorts to easy, albeit a lazy approach to ‘quick fixes’ — with a gaze on the short-term even when the issues are structurally long-term. “So, I understand the mental framework that drives such a proposal, especially given the pressure to show immediate results,” he added. He noted that the objective of the policy was mistakenly identified in terms of getting the economy out of recession. According to Soludo, recession is short-term, adding that “with good rains and bumper agricultural harvest, Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth can easily recover and the economy would be out of the recession”. Specifically, he pointed out that a GDP growth rate of even 0.01 per cent next quarter would be enough to take the economy out of the recession. “With the current policy regime, it will be a miracle if the current government can, after eight years in office by 2023, succeed in returning Nigerian economy just to the size of GDP (in US dollars) it met it in 2015. “To be fair, the wheels of the economy were already falling off by the time this government took over plus other complications of the oil sector and I sympathise with it. “But it is also fair to note that some of its policy choices have made matters worse. Now that the government is showing seriousness in tackling the crisis, focusing on short-term next quarter GDP growth misses the key point and has the danger of understating the serious work required,” he argued. Furthermore, Soludo said there was little basis for the $10-15 billion being bandied around as likely income to be generated from the proposed asset sales. He stressed that there was no basis for the expectation that shoring up reserves by this amount would magically restore investor confidence and stop speculation on the naira. “There is more to investor confidence than a temporary boost in stock of reserves when everyone knows that the underlying political environment as well as the policy regime and its credibility make the flow of reserves unsustainable. “The IMF calculates reserve adequacy in terms of the amount to finance at least three months of imports especially for countries with flexible exchange rates (which we claim to have), and of course also enough to cover short-term forex liabilities for countries with open capital accounts. “Nigeria currently has much more reserves to cover even six months of imports (size of imports also depends on exchange rate). So, what is the problem? “No amount of reserves can stop currency speculation in a poor policy environment. There is much more to confidence than absolute or relative size of reserves. “Look around our West African neighbours that are doing far better in economic terms and check out the size of their reserves (even as a percentage of GDP). “Until 2004, Nigeria never had more than $10 billion in reserves, and we have survived oil prices below $10 without selling Nigeria. The British pound has been down for months against major currencies since the Brexit vote in June, while China (with trillions of dollars in reserves) experienced major stock market and currency attacks recently and the Yuan had to be devalued. “Before the 2008/2009 crisis, Russia had robust reserves but it lost tens of billions struggling to defend the local currency and eventually yielded to the market,” he added. Continuing, Soludo noted that the argument that the sale of assets remained the only way to reflate the economy out of recession was troubling, and “suffers what economists might call policy myopia or time inconsistency problem”. He added: “First, imagine if previous governments used asset sales as a strategy to ‘reflate the economy’ during previous periods of economic recession or crisis. “Alternatively, if we auction away some valued national assets for the short-term goal of reflating the economy out of recession, what will happen during future cycles of recessions and economic crises? “The global economic system is inherently and cyclically crisis-prone. Prudently managed economies are preparing for the next cycles of global crisis, and the IMF has already warned of persisting vulnerabilities. What shall we sell then? “Besides, a hasty auction of the assets will short change Nigeria. Privatisation of national assets is not an ideological matter for me. It is plain pragmatism. Reasonable people can have a good debate about the composition of public assets for sale at any time. “Although government is yet to be definitive about the assets being proposed for sale, it is reasonable to object to any scheme that will hurriedly sell performing public assets that guarantee future flows of revenue and forex to future generations such as the NLNG, AFC shares, JVs in oil and gas sector, etc. “Even for non-performing assets, when privatisation is forced and assets auctioned on an emergency basis to meet short-term needs, the danger signs are there for all to see. Nigeria will never get value for money under the circumstance. “We all know what happens when someone urgently needs to sell his or her property to meet an emergency. What happens to the valuation/pricing? If we price them properly and wish to go through proper due process, the deal might take several years to conclude thereby defeating the advertised purpose of immediate spending". The Professor Made a whole lot of sense and where he was coming from made all the sense in the world and was suggesting the Senate Just Needed quick and Fast money like the culture had always been. i would be very dissappointed with president Buhari should this issue not be swept under the carpet and allowed to blossom and materialize or even see the light of day.. To me it is supposed to be considered a forbidden topic and one not to be tinkered with, it should be a sacrosanct idea never to be toyed with.. Sale of National Assets to me is the same as selling the country, and if that be the case, why not have us split the country into its constituent units and see where we get from there rather than have us sell the whole country.. this is just born out of serious concern for this country as a whole.. I rest my case. |
I Am really glad president Jonathan is at-least coming out from his shell to speak up instead of the silent posture he assumed in the meantime, i mean, not everything that went wrong under Jonathan regime was exclusively a Jonathan affair, i mean, his regime was hijacked and sabotaged, if you ask me, i think he was C in C, but was not necessarily in charge, i think the cabals out-weighed him. To me, Jonathan was a very good man and wanted to make everybody happy, but not in this our very Nigeria, give a man an inch and watch him take a mile.. Nigerians to a large extent are very very indisciplined. indiscipline stems from irresponsibility, if you ask me, i think nobody is responsible for Nigeria, Nigeria is an Orphan in my own opinion Nobody owns her and hence nobody takes responsibility for her, not the Hausa's, Not the Igbo, and certainly not the Yorubas, Not christains and not Muslims, Not the Political class and not the electorate and Hence Corruption takes control... Nigeria is like a public toilet every body comes shit there and nobody washes it, but when you get to your private homes and use your toilets, you wash them clean.. Ownership for Nigeria is a real big deal, everybody just comes patronises ethnic agenda and when their time is done, the next regime comes and patronise their ethnicity, lets face it, Nigeria Under Buhari has been over 80% hausa/fulani appointment.. To me, i would largely agree with former president goodluck jonathan to a very large extent success of the railway system in Nigeria can be attributed to his regime, but lets also not forget that Obasanjo had a hand in it too and it saw the light of day under President Buhari.. This is it.. If Goodluck Jonathan wants to take some credit on some achievements of his government, he should also be willing to take fault and blames for all that went wrong under his watch.. mazimee: |
Nigeria.. A False Country living in denial. The question comes to mind readily.. is Nigerian truly a country? are we bound together by our love for each other or held far apart by our greed and disgust for ourselves? which way forward? where are we? where are we coming from and where are we going to? can someone give true genuine answers to these questions? i mean , going by this index from 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative and Stefanus Foundation, 2 American based Humanitarian organisation, identifiny Boko Haram as the most lethal terrorist group in the world. The organisations disclosed this to a group of journalists while speaking about the challenges faced by victims of terrorism in Nigeria. According to the Executive Director of the Stefanus Foundation, Mark Lipdo, “Global Terrorism index shows that Boko Haram is the world’s most lethal terrorist group, followed by ISIS, while Al-Qaeda ranks third and the Fulani militants mostly in the middle belt rank 4th”.The 2015 Global Terrorism Index, GTI, had ranked Nigeria as the third most terrorized country in the world up from the fourth position it occupied last year. Out of the 162 countries of the world that have been worst hit by terrorist attacks, Nigeria, in the latest ranking, follows Iraq and Afghanistan, who were ranked first and second respectively. The report ranked Pakistan and Syria as the fourth and fifth to complete the top five most terrorized countries. Lipdo disclosed that 14.8 million Nigerians are directly hit by the crisis in the north east, adding that 1500 schools in the region have been closed, 611 teachers dead and 19,000 others displaced, with 950,000 children forced to stay out of schools, 2000 abducted and 10, 000 boys forced to join Boko Haram. According to him, “14.8 million Nigerians from north-east are directly impacted by the crisis. Officially, there are 2.2 million Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs. “Unofficially, there are five to seven millionIDPs. Those in need of special assistance are 2.5 million, comprising children under the age of five, pregnant women and nursing mothers.” Also speaking at the meeting, the Vice President of the 21st Wilberforce Initiative,Elijah Brown said Nigeria has the third-highest number of internally displaced persons, IDPs, in Africa and the seventh inthe world. He lamented the menace of herdsmen in the north central and called for quick intervention.As at January this year, the Chief of Army Staff, COAS, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai had stated that the Nigerian Army hasdefeated Boko Haram, assuring that the army will remain vigilant to crush any formof insurgency. “The North East operation is critical at this stage. The terrorists have been defeated; these criminals may rear their ugly heads through other means. We will continue to maintain vigilance,” the army chief stated. I Mean, these figures are staggerring.. Corruption bears no good fruits. the other day i was watching on television and i heard the American secretary of states... i will quote him verbatim.. At the world economic forum in 2016, American secretary of state, Senator John Kerry highlighted the ills of corruption, corruption threatens global growth, global stability and indeed the global future. in his word, when president buhari took over power last year, he inherited a military that was under-paid, under-fed and unable to protect the nigerian people from Boko Haram and one reason was that much of the military budget was finding its way into the pocket of the Generals and just this week we saw reports that more than 50 people in Nigeria including former government officials stole $9billion from the treasury. i cant trasncribe everything here, but he went further to make mention that proceeds from corruption are banked with legitimate banks all around the world.. he went further to say that, in his words.. " the fact is there is absolutly nothing more demoralising, more destructive, more dis-empowering for any citizen than the believe that the systme is rigged against them and that people in power are stealing the future of their own people.. he goes further highlighting the ills of Corruption. saying " Corruption is a social danger because it feed organised crime, it destroys Nation states, it imperils oppourtunities perticularly for women and girls, it fascilitates environmental degradation, it contributes to human trafficing, and undermines whole communities and it destroys the future.. Corruption is a radicaliser because it destroys faith inlegitimate Authority, it opens up vacums which allows predators to move in, and no one knows that better than the violent extremist group who regularly use corruption as a recruiting tool, corruption is an oppourtunity destroyer because it discourages honest and accountable investments, it makes businesses more expensive to operate, it drives up the cost of public services for local tax payers and it turns a Nation entire National Budget into a feeding trough, for the privilledged few. Nigeria surly has a long long way to go. |
