If I'm not mistaken, is donkey meat not banned....?
There was something about this last year on the airwaves for a while.
Can't exactly remember but I think it involved the Kaduna state governor/government.

But anyway, who the hell eats donkey meat.... yuck....

Maybe a blessing in disguise.

COMPAQ:
If this airport is not quickly concessioned, in 5 years it will be a shadow of itself.

MM2 operated by Bi Courtney has been in operation over 10 years and it just the same as it was all those years ago, even better sef. But for anything managed by government that is not the case. It goes downhill fast!

You can say that again.
The toilets will be the first to adopt University Hostel standards.
Then rain will quickly begin to fall inside the halls.
Yes, I'm a pessimist......
Tell me what government runs that doesn't run into the ground.
Even the gaddem locos run out of fuel midway.
Thank goodness we don't have mountains like Switzerland.

Passable.
Can't they get the same Chinese architect that's doing the rail terminals.
Those look more inspiring.

I’ll allow the Percentages do the explaining.

What do they put these funds into.
That is the key. Not the returns.
You should know how the investment house makes its money and whether it is ethical, and sustainable.

Mutual Trust here in Maitama has the best interest rate for Fixing.Up to 18%.A coded way many rich folks are investing their money.My spouse is one of their top marketer/manager.Hit me up if interested.Zero-seven-zero-three-five-four-five-three-nine-seven-three

What underpins their takings....
Where do they invest their funds....
This is the key.

Fahdiga:
First time in my life that police are going on strike in Nigeria. This sums up everything that Buhari is catastrophic failure

They have gone on strike before.
Not the first time.
Just extremely rare.
In other climes it is as common as that of the civil servants they are.

When you earn over six figures a week, folks will tend to take your sobriety with a swig of vodka....

Piggyvest Flex, 8% Per annum paid monthly
Piggybank, 10% Per annum also paid monthly

Branch Nigeria, 20% Per annum paid weekly.

Is this an 'investment'?....

oyatainer:
No region trusts you except SS and you play politics of bitterness. Tribalism and extremism have deeply eaten down your system. You believe nothing good can come out of Fulani - Hausa-Muslims lives but want them to vote for you. You believe so much in Biafra but you still want presidency of zoo. I don't know where supposed human will stoop so low to govern animal kingdom in zoo.

But there are terror organisations in the north who have denounced Nigeria, killed hundreds of thousands, destroyed whole swathes of territories, cost the economy trillions of naira, threatened to create a Caliphate (a state in a state) and stood against the liberties and prospects most southerners cherish, yet it has not been imputed against the entire north, southerners still vote for northern candidates in both major parties and at the gen polls.

Oga. Your position lies flat.
Don't let me say it is hypocritical.

ityP:
No one is going to do this bro. The East are not ready on either PDP or APC

The East doesn't have the numbers.
It can only happen as someone above said, if the two parties zone the ticket to that region.
Purely affirmative action.

seunmsg:
Absolute nonsense. Jonathan won the election in 2011 so what’s he saying?

Is Tambuwal saying the north cannot vote for a southern PDP candidate despite having the presidency for 8 years? Why then should the south vote for a northern PDP candidate when they can’t do the same to us?

The greed of Northern PDP leaders is unbelievable. They must think southerners are stupid. They simply want to cheat the south of what truly belongs to the them and it’s left for southern PDP leaders to respond. Since APC is presenting a southern candidate, I see no reason why PDP should not do the same. In a battle of two southern candidates, I don’t see any reason why PDP should be scared.

Trying to be clever by half.
So why didn't the APC in opposition present a presidential candidate of 'southern' extraction at the 2015 polls.
Why did they adopt a strategy of necessity in fielding PMB who clearly was the only candidate to remove GEJ.
Every party does what it can to win as the overriding strategy while bitterly swallowing its principles.
This is the tragedy of the structure which underpins this country.

mcmbonu:
No region can win election without the support of others

I'm from the south south. The very truth of the matter is that if PDP wants to win the next presidential election, it is logical it picks a very strong candidate from the north. That is the bitter truth

That is why we say without restructuring we will continue to go round in circles.
Only restructuring will change this narrative and make the criteria purely meritorious.
The way we are going, we are headed for another set of poor quality candidates and invariably a poor quality resident of Aso Rock post 2023.

ednut1:
govt owns 20% stake. Too much ignorance on this website

Even if they have no stake in it.
Remember that we are supposed to be government, all of us.
If that plant will help the economy of this country I think it is significant to bring him in to commission it.

ufotunang:
Look at him.... Want to commission a project that belongs to a private business man ... when will you commission federal government projects...why is there no commissioning of federal government projects...he wants to use Dangote project to boast and showoff and use it to campaign for APC and his government towards 2023

If he creates the environment by which industry mushrooms as a policy of his government then he has every right to use it as a campaign tool. Is that not what government is meant to do....
Learn to separate politics from governance.
This is a good move.

Ademola47:
Dangote refinery is a private business, why does the president has to use public machinery to formally launch it?

Because the Dangote plant is economically significant to this country and as the chief investment marketer the President should be seen at the fore front of signifying that Nigeria is open for business. It will reassure investors both here and off shore that the government remains committed to industrialization despite the global economic turbulence of recent years.

Boris Johnson is always seen up, in and around private enterprises doing the rounds for the UK economy.
We should encourage and admonish our elected leaders to do same here.

Kingozymandias:
Police supplies weapons to kidnappers ? Oh my goodness . I just hope there is a plausible explanation for this weapons in the hands of kidnappers..

Didn't you read a report earlier this year by the government itself claiming that about 88,000 small arms cannot be accounted for by its armed services.

Penguin2:
Please can you shut up?

This is one incident involving an Igbo person that Igbos did not even care about.

No Igbo has protested against Obiano’s arrest except for his lackeys while in power.

Yet you can’t take Igbo out of your mouth.

Nawa for una o

Noticed that too.
And I must admit that it is commendable.
That the people have valued the personality of the man around his service to the state and no more.
Only if the rest of Nigeria was like this, corruption in public office will have reduced drastically.
Anambra appears to be a very politically progressive state and this will hasten its development.

“In our time, there was no room for indiscipline and officers and men caught engaging in any form of indiscipline were promptly punished for dereliction of duty and were not allowed to acquire any form of wealth they could not account for."

Hahahahaha...... Jerry boy actually said this.....
Dis country sef.... sighs..

olawonder:
Time to start playing the good old superhero trick again, the vulnerable hv been largely ignored for years because it doesn’t serve US’s interests to intervene… but now that it’s rallying the world against Russia, its the best time to appear once again as the good guys to the world!

That is not true.
You need to understand the context and timelines.

The US has not intervened for years because they had been waiting for democracy to take root hoping it will lead to social justice in that country. But since democracy has stalled and the military is still hanging on with the resultant escalation of the pogroms, they feel it is the right time to act.

Same thing with Nigeria.
If democracy does not work for the overall good of all Nigerians and the violence continues in this country particularly against minorities, expect the west to lose patience and countries such as the US to become more assertive.

So we better get our acts together fast.

cktheluckyman:
But he is right.If you voted for Buhari to become president on what basis then are you criticizing someone very much more qualified than him been appointed COS to the Governor?

Hmmm.... apt.

You will just think that with all the problems we see today, problems they helped foist on this country, a certain section of the populace will just shut it, sit down and learn from those who know better.
You will expect that there will be some degree of shame and a pinch of remorse.
But no.
They are all over the place yakking and making a nuisance of themselves.

adioolayi:
Sincerely..No Lies!!!

How can you say you have over 95% budget performance...injecting more than NGN 8 Trillion into Nigeria's Economy over 5years and the Country won't even feel the impact And there will be more hardship Education, Health sectors will still be in shambles Security will be at very low

Not possible... definitely, corruption is ruling our budget implementation

Indeed.
I have said it severally. That the figures just do not add up.
In other climes spending on big budget infrastructure programs is the catalyst for economic recovery, job creation, industrial expansion, etc.
Here it is the direct opposite.
There can only be one explanation.... corruption.
Nigeria is a Contractor's Eldorado with every economic bandit galloping headlong into the nation's treasury.

Dsalvo:
If you cannot be fair to others, even if you hate them, tjen perhaps you are not a good person at all.

Everyone knows that Buhari pushed Tinubu away and shut him out to embrace an 'inner crew' he took advice from and relied on exclusively like the deceased Abba Kyari who was former chief of staff to Buhari.

I despair when I read your sort of opinion because it confirms most Nigwrians are just sectionally biased folks only keen to give a dog a bad name justify their ill will towards said Dog.

Truth is that Nigeria would be better if Buhari was willing to work with and listen to the likes of the brilliant Tinubu rather than reject them in favour of the likes of Abba Kyari, Malami, Buni etal who will tell him what he wants to hear that will usually be against the best interest of Nigeria.

I suspect this 'Buhari pushed him away' will be the lifeline of the Tinubu candidacy going forward.... And the facts of which will be the battle ground.

Because, believe you me. It will be a tough, tough battle to separate and distance himself from this government.

Dsalvo:
Guy, abeg get sense na. Tinubu that Buhari pushed away, as soon as he entered Aso Rock in 2015, can influence Mr.President's thoughts and action how exactly?

I personally have no issues with anyone opposing Tinubu but, for your own sake and for the sake of how you are percieved, try to think and argue intelligently.

Most people know Buhari is conservative and precisely pushed Tinubu away because he percieves BAT as aggressively capitalised, reformational, a fan of decentralized democracies and a big advocate of devolving power away from the centre and towards other federating tiers of Government.

Tinubu is the last person the conservative and centrist-leaning Buhari would listen to, entertain or work with other than to win elections.

If this is all true then why should anyone back a losing horse since Mr Buhari is likely to 'push him away' from the 2023 race.

You see. The truth is that Mr. Tinubu has help foist and sustain such a terrible system that it threatens to eat him up as well.

I still want to see how he will extricate himself from the political tragedy of the past 7 years while at the same time 'not stepping on toes' as he is apt to remind.

And though I have said in the past that he should distance himself from the administration to gain some moral traction, I am not sure that gate remains open at this stage when things have a taken a serious turn for the worse.

To be speaking of electricity reforms in the midst of perhaps the worst energy crises in living memory as a leading figure in the ruling party.....hmmm... is provocative.

Mr Tinubu should have distanced himself from this goverment a much longer time ago and chipped in some criticism here and there to prove that his will be different.

Ttalk:
Let it be known that whatever is the outcome of APC in the general election would be placed at the doorstep of the president and not Buni.

If you have sole right to appoint Buni, you should be courageous enough to relieve him to save your party, APC could be the last chance of keeping this country United, and once the party collapse, it's going to be free for all

So they said about the PDP.
This is nothing but blackmail.
In all reason, with the situation of present day Nigeria, the APC cannot win a free and fair election and should not be rewarded for the way it has tortured the citizens of this country.

And while I will never advocate for a one-party state, there has to be consequences for bad governance if not there will be no way of moving forward as a nation whatsoever.

Leicester, Westham, Sevilla watching

None are qualified abeg.....
He should be focused on bigger and better things.

Pity the Serie A doesn't appreciate the hunger and effort this lad puts into each match day.
If he was in the Prem a lyric will have been waxed for him by now....

Going by your assertion no one will subscribe for Premium.
I wonder what you were thinking.
You should rather be annoyed with yourself.

Hmmm... 3.11 trillion for the UK to India's 2.95 trillion......
..... no wonder some Brits were pissed a decade ago when they learnt the UK was still giving developmental aid to India....
These figures skew the reality on the ground.... and population is the key.
It remains a mortal sin to have kids willy nilly and a galloping, out of control population boom is a sure recipe for devastating poverty.

Agbegbaorogboye:
A Daniel has come to judgement

What mistakes if I may ask?

Playing defensively the first leg.
Granted Carlo has never had in his tactical bag all out attack but that is in the DNA of Real Madrid.
They defend by attacking and the present first squad is entirely geared towards that.
If Real Madrid will not play its game against Chelsea, it will certainly lose.
Unlike PSG, Chelsea has way too much experience in defense.

The curious match up has to be Chelsea v Real Madrid.
Very, very difficult to call.
I think the key here will be the fitness of their leading men match day.

However discounting all that, on paper I think Real Madrid has the edge for the simple fact that they had a far tougher opponent in the round of 16 which will have honed their pysche. And with the experience of Carlo, the wily old fox, I think the deafening mistakes in that tie will not be repeated.

JosephXavier:
We know that it is Malami that is witch-hunting Obiano

He tried to impose state of emergency in Anambra to help them install APC in Anambra after trying to lure Obiano to APC but all the attempts failed

Obiano publicly called out Malami for his ill intentions in Anambra and personally went to meet the president at state house with his argument being that if a state of emergency will be declared in Anambra,same should be done in terrorist ravaged Katsina, Yobe, Kaduna, Zamfara and Sokoto

We all need to rally around Obiano and not leave him to his fate because he stood his ground for his people

Malami is a terrorist

What is all this.... Nigerians love their sentiment sha....
