When you hear that Christ is in the north, do not go, if they say he is in the south, do not go for Christ is not there.

In the last days, many shall be led astray by miracles.

And what do you expect them to do at this time when the man on top doesn't take a no for an answer?

Though we virtually swallow everything Buhari hook, line and sinker, it was scantily reported that his Minister of Finance and that of Budgets asked him at one instance not to sign a particular Bilateral Agreement but he shunned them and went ahead.

The NASS must navigate their way out or at best steer away since any dissenting voice nowadays are seen as an affront.

The man after whom our SSS had been named. Daura State Security.

Nigerians eat too much rice, that’s why it is expensive – Audu Ogbeh

The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, on Wednesday in Abuja said Nigerian businessmen demanded 2.5 billion dollars (about N492 billion) a week for importation of goods and services into the country.
Ogbeh made this known in a meeting with officials of VICAMPRO, an indigenous Agro Company investing in production of Irish Potato on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said that the ministry was willing to support local investors with capacity to produce goods and save the country’s foreign exchange.
He said that the consumption of rice in the country was rising and that a lot of people were not aware that the rice had some degree of arsenic.
The minister said that consuming rice in large quantity on a regular basis was a bit of health risk, adding that substituting it with potato would be welcomed development.
“The volume of importation of virtually everything into this country is too much.
“The demand for dollars in this country as at today is 2.5 billion a week; this is the quantum of dollars Nigerians are asking for to import things.
“Since 1986, we began this habit of importing everything and doing virtually nothing at home to sustain ourselves; now, we do not have the dollars and people are very hungry.
“This day was coming anyway, no matter who was in power; we have the most ridiculous method of devaluing our currency; every week, we auction the dollar and naira goes up.
“We sat and were hoping that by devaluation, we are going to arrive at Eldorado; if we continue like this, it will be a thousand naira to a dollar,’’ he said.
While commending the investor, Ogbeh said that any private sector effort that would develop local production of goods would be fully supported by the ministry.
“We should aggressively take the West African market; there is no reason why we should allow Irish potato from Ireland and France and Belgium into West Africa; it is the same story with onions.
Earlier, the Chief Executive Officer of VICAMPRO, Mr Michael Agbogo, said that potato could bring value worth over one trillion naira annually if properly harnessed.
He said that potato was the fourth most important crop in the world and that a barrel of oil was an equivalent of 14 kilogrammes of potatoes.
According to Agbogo, while current price of crude oil will fetch the country about N16,000 per barrel, the equivalent in potato will fetch the country N39,000.
He said that in terms of value, potato had three times the value of crude oil, adding that it was a huge industry the country could get into.
Agbogo said that Egypt and Algeria were the leading potato producing countries in Africa, with Egypt producing four million tonnes annually from about 100,000 hectares of land.
He said that Nigeria, which had close to 500,000 hectares, was struggling to produce one million tonnes of potato per annum.

Honestly, Udom is more stingy than Buhari.
I don't see him doing much.

Pls someone should confirm: is Dele among the Wailers? Is he a 5%er?
If yes, OK
If not, who gave him the Wailers form?

Op how many panels are you using in that residential building?

This solar/inverter system had been revolutionized. So get in touch with the latest Nigerian made version.

The two are venomous and deadly.
Killing is in their blood. Cows are worth more than humans.
They are more united in killing.

Hmmm! Why is the US more interested in anything destructive than constructive?

Rescue animal after an operation

Hmmmm op. It's difficult to say.
As opined above, it depends on you financial strength, area, even what to cook.

So try from N1k5. See you children's reaction after the meal. If their countenance bright up, then satisfaction is achieved. If it goes gloomy please add up. lols. Na Buhari cause am o!!!

Just to test not only strength but also resilience and patience.
If these later two is uphold, the marriage will be meaningful.

Have you ever read or hear of dating in Christianity?

Don't be deceived or carried away by vain teachings. Dating and all what it stands for is not godly.

In fact, they aren't serving the same God. Only God nows who serves him.
Most of our pastors serve their pockets.

These men are really bunch of jokers. Images a minister telling us rice may cost N50k a bag.

Buhari telling us the change he promised was not economic but Nigerians behavioural

and yet the Vice President telling us the change will come by 2018.

And yet they would want to cleave on to power

Had I known always comes last.
The 97% who dug their graves with their votes are regretting.
Ride on, Sir!!!

After declaring just few weeks back that it is no longer doing business but on national service (though not enlisted in NYSC), Arik had finally bowed.

Change begins with Buhari NOT ME.

No natural disaster will be devastating as the change tsunami that occurred in 2015.

The effects include:
dead from hunger, malnutrition and suicide

Hyperinflation, economic recession, food scarcity.

Collapsed businesses, exit of multinational companies

High tax rate,

High cost of petroleum products

Power blackouts

Lopsided appointments

generalized poverty, etc.

Surviving the remaining 2+years is a serious nightmare for Nigerians.

No longer PDP? Is Lai Mohammed lying to himself?

Well, we really know and agree that overdependence on oil is the cause but the effect wouldn't have been this devastating should the government had sound policies on ground or at best listened to the voice of reason.

madridguy:
Now some useless people can buried their head in shame.

You can do better than insulting. Try and get matured.

What of Biu? Still in Police service?

How can the change begins with us when it has already taken toll on us.
I reject the change.

Heffalump:
These greedy men called militants will soon know the difference between GEJ and PMB. No free money to share this time, rather we encourage the development of the entire Niger Delta and NOT the development of individual's pockets as this is surely their yearnings.

Bloody Charlatans

And in the wildest and weirdest of your dream, you see Buhari as the one to develop the Niger Delta?

Development is not in Buhari's dictionary.

The horrible things are here already or is it the N40k per bag of rice?
I wonder what will be left of APC if PDP is asked to leave it.
Only Buhari, Fashola and Tinubu will be left.

Everything they promised is in the negative in practice.
A govt without direction.

Hahhaaaa Buhari bring back Nigeria!

But don't think intimidation is the best strategy for the APC towards 2019. Their performance would have been the best bait.

They want to quell all those who are capable of financing PDP.

They lied to Nigerians (myself not included) to vote them to power and today the same people are weeping over the change. #Proudly5%.
