₦airaland Forum

Little wonder Nlgeria is in such a mess. My obligations are no where near his but where do I have the time for such things. Said it many times. Nigerians are just lazy.

The best days of the APC are clearly over. Anyone that understands Nigeria will realise that the opportunities to impact are fast fading.

funkiebully:
.it's all about Fielding faleke. Igala ppl open una eye! Since Audu son was nominated to replace his father, yolobas have started rubbishing the poor son reputation just to have faleke as apc substitute.

Thiefnubuu media gang just ressurected "sugarbelly rape propaganda " and next minute, it's this case.

Yoloba and their media attack, they did it to GEJ just bc of VP position to their son, now they want to rubbish Abubakar Audu!


Igala make una dey alert!

You can see why Nigeria can never progress.

scozy:
Politics.......... because he got nominated now dey want to tarnish is image WITH OLD STORIES .... Dey did d same thing for PMB

Old stories??

Ndeewonu:
Most Nigerians have started realising that they made a mistake in this government!
Most do not have the moral courage to voice it.

That is the beauty of democracy. That is how things work. That is taking responsibility. Nigerians will now learn to tailor their expectations in line with the cloth they have....and solve the problems they themselves create and let fester. Democracy will always be about the people not the President. The West saw in Obasanjo an overrated Presidency (they did well despite him) the Niger-Delta has seen an over rated Presidency not becoming better despite Jonathan. Now it is the turn of the North and hopefully all Nigeria. We must learn to build this country collectively. We are just too weak and divided, ignorant and unstructured as a people. Hopefully our suffering will at a point reboot our memory and elevate our thinking.

ModiKen:
Well said Sahara reporters.

This junketing and galavanting round the globe has got to stop.

Buhari and his son are travelling in and out of the country like someone with running stomach rushing in and out of the toilet while Nigerians queue up under the sun to buy (at exorbitant prices) something God has freely given us.

Do u know U.K citizens never suffer fuel scarcity or have long queues at petrol stations yet they don't have quarter of the oil we have laying in the Niger Delta.

My question is why has the senate not attended to Buhari's request for the release of funds to pay those oil marketers.

Instead they are shaking hands and laughing over plates of fruits.

Do these people really care abt us?

They shld keep up the good work. A revolution is coming if they don't hurry up and fix the country.

If things continue this way, one day we the poor masses wld have nothing to eat but the rich thieving politicians.

Nobody shld call me a wailer, u wld be only wasting ur time.

I supported Buhari during the last election, but I wld weep and wail till my country gets better!

You are wasting your time. The country cannot get better under this structure.

You see why this country cannot progress. Though he is emminently qualified race will disqualify and render him inefectual. We have to restructure this country or continue to drift.

bellville:
Wow! The Murtala assassination was '76 I guess. You don't belong to this generation o.

Just got outa nursery school then. Mum taught in Unilag Staff School whipping the likes of Kola Abiola and his sisters into shape before she moved in with me at Corona later becoming assistant headmistress. Only then did I stop crying in the mornings. But Corona was there long before me so I sure as hell donot know the VP. The picture is not clear enough to determine when it was taken but any browning photo must be 60's way, way before me. And I wasn't as old as those kids by the time I left.

dokiOloye:
U will never hear d voice of Keyamo,Femi Falana and d lagos / Ibadan amala press in all these burning issues like d fuel scarcity,drop in electricity,missing soldiers etc.
But if it were during GEJ,d Yoruba dominated Lagos/Ibadan press will be screaming it on d frontpage everyday and be writing wonderful editorials.

So you have learnt so do your own propaganda fueled rants. Nothing wrong with that. The race should be to the top and not the bottom.

Hmmm. My alma-mater. Will never forget two things. Losing a fingernail to those heavy white wooden classroom doors while playing catch after school hours while waiting for mum to pick up. And quite sadly watching Murtala gunned down six cars in front of me just before the bridge on a certain Friday after school. Didn't get home till 5 pm that day. Was so so hungry.

They pleaded not guilty and were granted bail. Such violent criminals, such judiciary, such country.

pretydiva:
The story get k-leg..d couple staying in one room,n yet could afford a maid..where d maid dey sleep ni

...hmmm me too abeg. I've been meditating....postulating....deep in critical thinking....analysing, calculating...where the maid could possibly lay her head (or whatever part of her anatomy that triggered this rumpus....between oga and madam, or beside oga or beside madam...or underneath one of either or suspended above both parties or across or inverted or directly opposite that is...head to head or toe to toe....hmmm toe stuff...very....divorce inducing.

You are not serious. If you cannot take care of your kids then you are better off not having them. There is a reason why 'whites' have fewer if not any, and that is because they are often too busy to raise them and are realistic in that. You want to have your cake and eat it. That is gambling with life. Beware.

Hmmm. Nigeria had better watch carefully how it handles this issue. The Abacha government messed up the Saro Wiwa issue and it has cost the state trillions en-counting. The Yaradua government mishandled the Boko Haram rebellion and it is costing thousands of lives en-counting. Is the Buhari led government going to strike the third and certainly fatal blow to the 'State of the Union'.

obailala:
Nigerian politics can really be amusing and annoying at the same time. This is exactly the situation that played out in the Jonathanian era, albeit now in the opposite direction.

I remember just last year when Boko haram would overrun a town and seize control, mainstream media was barred from reporting such stories however only uncontrolled media houses like saharareporters kept reporting such events. The former administration and their hoard of supporters were always on the hot seat denying the stories and heaping all sorts of allegations on sahara reporters, BBC, Aljazeera, CNN and APC as being boko haram sympathisers because they dared to report the facts as it was against the government's wish. The irony of all the denials then was that few days later, all the newspapers and news stations will then be awash with stories of the Nigerian army gallantly re-capturing a town which they denied was ever captured.

Today the exact reverse is the case, some unfortunate incident happens, the army denies, the APC government denies, the APC supporters deny and the Jonathanians fault all the denials... and then a day later, the army which hitherto denied that anyone was lost will turn around and claim that the lost soldiers have returned gallantly... and then the jonathanians will revel and sing 'we told you'

Nigerian brand of politics and patriotism is sickening. Politics should never be played with security issues.

Now you know...simply because it has turned full circle. That is why it is important for power to rotate. So that the barbacue steak can get done evenly. It is APC's turn for a roasting.

On topic: In a country with churches and mosques dotting every street corner fighting for converts and everybody magically turns into a saint on the sabbath day, let's see how many NGOs and philanthropic-minded individuals would rise to the occasion and cook free foods even if not sufficient but something these prisoners can eat daily to sustain themselves.

Bunkum. Are they not kept there by government. If government cannot feed them they should release them. The church operates in a totally different way. In the business of repentance and forgiveness. How do these meet.

sammyj:
This so called chop I chop group wailing every where should focus their energy in fighting for good governance and I social welfare of the people rather than being used by corrupt swines to fight unjust course. Truly corruption is fighting back and I blame this government based on it's slow tendencies to reform our sticking judiciary prosecute this criminals and jail them !!!

But you know it can't simply because it can't, so it can't, until it can....come to equity.

HonSuQMaDIQ:
Shut up pls. Quit trolling. Nigerians deserve to see his original School certificate. If he wont show it, then he doesnt have it. QED!

Hahaha. Honourable. Long time. Are you the original.

Government should set up a panel of inquiry and call this woman to account for her stewardship and clear the air once and for all. Enough is enough.

Firefire:
I laugh the fake prophesy in Japanese Yen

But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron

...And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Matthew 24:11

Couldn't have said it better. This is NOT the way the God I know operates. He does not do predictions, is not the author of evil and expects us to live by faith not by prophesy. To live by prophesy is to be under constant dread of things to come. The only one who wills to give us constant torment and fear is the devil and TB had better choose on whose side he is.

calabardick:
you are right my brother, I buy 150 today, yesterday was 180 in some places

140 in Obudu yesterday.

damton:
h Did you say every month. in fact every day sef

Because you guys are short-sighted and greedy so you continue to die senselessly. Decentralise port operations from Lagos so that the rest of coastal Nigeria can share the industrial burden but you say no and prefer two ports alone to serve 170 million people. Continue sabotaging other port locations oh wise people.

inya1983:
For christ sake hw would such a huge amount of money be paid into an account with no.name

Ask the branch manager where it was lodged who will in all probability have received his cut. If not for the conscience why the cover-up. If it's not hedious why hide it.

Nigerians are very hypocritical and its our collective insincerity that has prevented our progress. There will be some, as vocal as budgies singing the anti-corruption songs working in these banks and ranting and raving on Nairaland yet, almighty yet they know, they know that they know and know the known.....that, that cheque they are given, that transfer they are initiating, that account they are managing is nothing but stolen funds someone is sweating, crying, bleeding and dying for. Can't they see that in decent climes my white bankers will question almost every lodgement. Can't they read the notices they themselves place that 'they are obliged to report any lodgement above 5 million to the CBN. Are they not criminals as well for not doing that. Shame.

musicwriter:
.

Nobody talks about the level of corruption in Nigerian banks. Without the help our banks, most of these acts of corruption by government officials will not be possible. Nigerian banks are responsible for escalating corruption in this country. They aid, incubate and protect corrupt financial transactions by government officials.

Some banks have been recently found to be hiding money meant to be paid into the TSA!. If Buhari is serious about the war against corruption he should start withdrawing the license of some banks. Some of them are not even worth to be called a bank.

One of my first posts on Nairaland. The role of banks in corruption and the need for tough anti-laundering laws. Today MTN is being fined for keeping unregistered numbers active while banks get no rap for keeping stolen loot, laundering alibaba treasury and running the accounts and business interests of felons.

When the Enron saga broke it was not only Bernie Madoff that went. The Feds ensured that everyone who knowingly aided and abetted went to jail as well or received hefty fines. No one, I repeat no one went scott free. In Nigeria it is always only the principal that gets the heat. His associates whether individuals, corporates or institutional walk free obviously to regroup and disorganise the system.

It is only in Nigeria you hear, 'but he is only a secretary, he merely lodged oga's cheque....' but he obviously knew what oga was doing and most likely got his crumbs from oga's table. But worst of all the 'ordinary green shrub secretary today will become 'a permanent wild bush secretary tomorrow' and the chance to break the viscious corruption cycle is lost.

It is these things we see and conclude that fighting corruption in Nigeria is a pathetic waste of time if fundamental, structural changes are not made to this country, it people and its principles.

Koleman:
I hope you wailers are prepared to do this for the Next 4yrs? And do people even real at all. That post is not saying the president spent money on buying new air planes or incurring any extra expenses. Pls read out de first sentence. It is only spending that money to maintain the air planes bought by the previous administration. Maybe you still dont understand. Let me use a simple example to illustrate. "IF YOUr FATHER RENTS A DUPLEX FOR YOU AND Suddenly dies towards de expiration of the rent, when the time for payment comes, i wonder who is going to pay the rent? Now you have two choices, first choice is you bear the huge cost and pay the rent. Second option you agree the cost is to much and so you relocate to much more cheaper and affordable house. Now if am not mistaken one of the few promises made by buhari upon assumption of office is to sell some of the air planes so as to minimize cost. Now what i expect any rational mind to do is concentrate on reminding him of that promise! Now has baba forgotten?

All these explanations, iterations. Are you in a court of law or the CCT dock. If the country is jolly why all the John Terryism. Told you guys you'd be playing defence till 2019 because you don't know how government works.

Btw. Am as surprised at learning ALL PHCN aircraft are grounded as the rains in summer. Can't run a transformer, na aircraft dey wan maintain. Respect anyone who was flying those things. They are either zombies or spirits not subject to power failure in midair.

You know what they say about birds of the same feather. Improve your personal qualities and attract the right kind of woman. Can't imagine those types coming near me in any shape or form. Sharks don't swim around whales.

nija80:
Dont really know what the problem is.if the govt cannot say no to the susidy regime,then yhe citizens can say no . diesel that was 170 to 180 naira few months ago is now around 110to 120 naira because it is fully deregulated. Why subsidy.its now that we are suppose to enjoy lower price on pms.Some people are just smelling to the bank while majority are suffering.

Don't mind them. There was a time diesel sold for up to N250, thrice the price of PMS. Today PMS is more expensive than diesel no thanks to regulation. If we can't smell the coffee then we are probably dead.

Opinedecandid:
Nigerians, please how is Petroleum Motor Spirit (FUEL) sold for three days now in your area.

I believe that other than expressing our individual views and opinions;
getting information on the happenstances in our climes and around the globe;
And probably getting to influence our readers positively, etc,
One major reason why we patronise this forum is to draw the attention of the relevant authorities: government and non-governmental to the issues that require them to address, resolve or clear the air on.

I have been buying fuel for a hundred and fifty naira (#150) in Benin city for three days now.

What of you?

It is 'premium motor spirit' by the way but your post reeks self censorship. What is the apologies for. Say it as it is and blame whoever you feel like. Who are you afraid of. Why is everyone running scared at expressing their feelings under this government. They got there by our ability to express ourselves freely, now its getting worse and we are to become quieter.? What the hell is that kind of rubbish called?

Hmmm. It will be a long, long 4 years. I don't envy them. Trying to work a system that is unworkable. There is only one direction one's reputation can go.

If ya all think am gonna say anything about this matter then you're joking. Said enuough.

he was a shitty soldeir to get killed by a bunch of illiterate muslim fanatics

You must be very silly indeed.
