Politics › Re: Kwankwaso Set To Dump APC by Ratello: 11:42pm On Dec 28, 2017
Kwankwanso stands no chance against Buhari come 2019 he is only wasting his time. Only Atiku has the political clout and financial resources and connections to shoot down the lanky general in 2019.

deji17:
South Africa built their 40k MW, one hundred MW at a time, not 40k MW at a go. Nigeria has wasted a lot of time with PDP and IBB.
Na when person wake up be him morning. Now we will build one hundred MW at a time untill we reach 40K MW and beyond.
You have to start from somewhere. Everyone you see that has achieved something today started from somewhere.
We are starting late, no thanks to PDP and IBB. Slowly but steady, we will get there.
Are you preaching? A serious government will fix problems of power supply within 6 months says Fashola your minister of power and you are here preaching "slow and steady" funny dude.

Politics › Re: "Amaechi Killing Apc In Rivers". by Ratello:
Burukpe:
Ever since the APC lost the re-run elections in Rivers state,its leader,former Governor of the state and current Minister of Transportation, Rt.Hon.Rotimi AMAECHI has been taking decisions that are inimical to the political terrain in the state. He has not only shot himself in the foot but had laid the foundation for the PDP to continue in its land slide winning euphoria.

First, he sacked all his Field-Marshalls,and appointed some of their boys as leaders of the 23 local govt.areas branches of the party.

Secondly,he began a press war against the erudite senator, and the leader of the sacked fields marshalls, denigrating him to nothingness.

And most recently, he had encouraged his few supporters in the state to start insulting the traditional institutions in the state, which he had never had any regard for as Governor for eight years.

Also,he has created an atmosphere of disunity amongst members of his inner caucus,especially the two senators, Elder Andrew Uchendu and Sen.Magnus Abe;the tap root of the Ogoni politicians in APC.

His actions may cost the APC the desired impact it hopes to create in future elections as the fighting spirit of members is being gradually killed.

Politics › The Half Truths Peddled Around Just To Keep Buhari Beyond 2019! by Ratello(op): 4:14am On Dec 28, 2017
Got this on my Facebook wall and can't help laughing at the extent people can go to manipulate figures against Jonathan and bandy half truths and flimsy excuses for Buhari's failure. Enjoy these half truths not forgeting that Obasanjo turned around an already Nigerian economy in comatose under the rudderless regimes of past military leaders Obasanjo inherited. Enjoy the write up but don't believe them.

BUHARI AGAIN?

Okonjo Iweala, a woman that had seen it all could come out to say at an American conference that the SEED OF THIS RECESSION WAS PLANTED DURING THE JONATHAN REGIME DUE TO OUR LACK OF FINANCIAL DISCIPLINE, INABILITY AND LACK OF POLITICAL WILL TO SAVE. People should not blame jonathan alone for this because the profligate Nigerian Governors too are culpable. He attempted to save, but the governors demanded to take all the savings citing constitutional right. Money they took and Stole at the same time. Our case is pathetic.

Do you know that:

�Obasanjo's administration earned # 17trn from crude oil sales within eight years and left behind 45bn dollars external reserves and 3.348bn dollars external debt.

�Yaradua grew the reserves to 64bn dollars within just one year and the administration was able to finance 15 months of imports despite the 2008/2009 world economic meltdown. Hence, Nigeria survived the melt down because of the political will by the administration to save(a great achievement by Yaradua which most Nigerians are not aware of). Despite the tough economic reality at that time, Yaradua left 47.7bn dollars in reserves and an external debt of 3.94bn dollars. Meanwhile, the administration earned only # 9trn from crude oil sales within that short period.

�Now, Jonathan administration witnessed an oil boom when Brent crude sold for over 100 dollars/barrel, with the regime earning # 51trn within a period of 5years. But because of corruption, the administration did not only squander the oil revenue but even depleted the reserves left by Yaradua, leaving just 32bn dollars and a huge external debt of 63bn dollars for Buhari. The same Brent crude sold for as low as 35 dollars/barrel at a point shortly after Buhari took over power and had only managed to climb to about 48 dollars just recently.

�These are facts that can be verified. So, it's amazing hearing people criticize Buhari for the hunger in the land.

�According to Fashola, Buhari's administration inherited 206 uncompleted road projects and contract arrears worth #2.1trn from Jonathan; and for about 2 to 3 years the contractors where not paid. This slowed down the economic activities, with most of the companies laying off their staff. This was when the seed of recession was sowed.

It's obvious that Buhari came in to rescue Nigeria, because if Jonathan had continued in power, the nation's economic crisis would have been worse, perhaps even the Federal government wouldn't have been able to pay salaries of civil servants by now.

�According to Okonjo Iweala, Nigeria started borrowing money to pay salaries since October, 2014; but today Nigeria now borrow money for investment in capital projects.

�Those who blame Buhari for the current hardship do so either out of mischief (hatred) or ignorance. So, we shouldn't join the bandwagon in criticising him. He may not have done much to save the situation, considering that he is not a perfect human being but he means well for the country and can only succeed with our prayers.

�May Almighty God continue to guide Baba Buhari.

�Why not share this piece with others for the sake of enlightenment and conscious prayers for our nation. We av the responsibility to enlighten others.

Mischievous and the ignorant people/politicians should not drag us backward.

Shared as received.

Agriculture › Re: Rice Production In Nigeria Hits 15 Million Tonnes — Official by Ratello(op): 2:00pm On Dec 26, 2017
GworoChewinMaga:
15 million tonnes is equivalent to 15 billion kilograms which when divided by 50 (standard bag of rice measure of 50kg) will amount to 30million bags of rice.

That is one bag of rice for every 5 Nigerians.

Big fat lie again.
I think this is the correct analysis;

15 million tonnes is equivalent to 15 billion kilograms which when divided by 50 (standard bag of rice measure of 50kg) will amount to 300 million bags of rice.

Using 200 million as our populations, that is 75kg bag of rice (that is one 50kg and one 25kg bags of rice) for each Nigerian.....kai this is hilarious!

Agriculture › Rice Production In Nigeria Hits 15 Million Tonnes — Official by Ratello(op): 11:22am On Dec 26, 2017
Local rice production in Nigeria has now reached 15 million metric tonnes annually, the government has claimed.

It said the development means the country will now be saving about N300 billion it used to spend annually on importation of the commodity.

The Director of Agriculture at the Kano office of the Federal Ministry of Agricultural, Muhammad Adamu, made the claim on Tuesday while inaugurating the Rice Millers Association of Nigeria, (RIMAN) in the state.

He said in Kano alone, 1.2 million metric tonnes of rice was produced in 2016.

He said with the significant increase in local productions and the efforts to make the local variety qualitative and more attractive to Nigerians, the country expects to begin exporting rice to West African countries by 2018/2019.

Mr. Adamu said about 34 states in Nigeria are producing rice, with many now producing three times in a year.

He disclosed that investigation carried out by the Federal Government revealed that rice imported to Nigeria are 10-15 years old and and are preserved with chemicals which can cause cancer to consumers.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rice Miller’s Association, Peter Dama, said, the association was established to promote local milling of rice that is fresh, healthy and nutritious.

He said the association is willing to collaborate with the Nigeria Customs Service to stem smuggling of expired rice into Nigeria.

Mr. Dama added that the association intended to work closely with regulatory agencies and policymakers to ensure standard in local rice milling.

The Customs officer in charge of rice enforcement, Ado Hassan, warned that Custom officers caught conniving with rice smugglers would have themselves to blame.

He said that in less than one year, the zonal command of the agency confiscated 800,000 bags of rice in Kano and Jigawa states.

He said about 9000 bags of the rice are still in the stores of the agency, adding that most of the rice were being given to internally displaced persons after been certified fit for consumption by the National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC.

Politics › Femi Fani-kayode Spelling It Out For Rotimi Amaechi! by Ratello(op): 12:44am On Dec 15, 2017
OBJ's record in terms of savings, prudence and fiscal discipline remains unbeaten.This is an incontrivertible and indisputable fact.

It is also a fact that both our Excess Crude Account and Foreign Reserves were heavily depleted in the three years after he left office.

When OBJ came to power in 1999 he met $1.1 billion in for. reserves and no Excess Crude Account.

When he left power in 2007 he left $45 billion in for. reserves and $22 billion in the Excess Crude Account.

OBJ left an unbeaten record total of $67 billion in savings!

When Yar'adua came to power in 2007 he spent $16.5 in 3 years out of the Excess Crude Account!

By the time Jonathan took over power in 2010 only $6.5 billion was left in that account.

Rotimi Amaechi should ask Yar'Adua's men what that money was used for and not Jonathan.
