udele1: A hotel owner in the east told me that since his 10 years in the hospitality industry. This is the first time they have empty rooms from first december to 25th.
Normally from 1st devember all rooms are fully booked.
Now on 25th December, if you want 10 rooms, you will get.
THIS IS REALLY TERRIBLE TO HEAR.
Commerce is central to the Eastern region.
If that goes, they're finished.
Igbos need to clip the IPOB wings before they do further damage to that region.
Qoko: When the President of a country is not in charge
But he was in charge of building the rail network which y'all never appreciated and scorned, but are now demanding free rides on. If I were Buhari I'd just say Fu.c.k y'all.
DubaiLandLord: How can the president open his mouth and say this kin provocating word
If not for the pollution it will cause, I wont have mind if the militants can unleash hell on every oil installation, make we see how Bauchi and Gombe oil go dey carry the 36 states and FCT.
If only Southern Politicians and some Politicians in the middle belt can sit together and agree to expel almost all the states in the North East and North West from Nigeria or make we leave the name Nigeria for them.
Will you also recall your millions of Igbos living in the north?
Hanibbal: You are the fool here... If you need a beast statue before you start taking your christian life serious then you are the greatest fool in the universe. Beast or no beast you should be ready to meet your Lord any day any time. I am Jesus conscious not beast statue conscious. I don't care whatever beast anyone has erected. If not for Nairaland and the ignorant righteousness2 preacher I won't know any beast is any where. I serve my GOD daily with eternity in mind. I don't need a beast statue to dictate to me signs of time, death could snatch me away today too. So to hell with your beast image that is making you all to sweat.
Big Fanatic fools thinking they are fervent. Continue searching for beast up and down before you take your christian faith serious.
And the rest who quoted me out of ignorance this is for you too. @ fullblastlight allahisanidol oluwaahmed
Shut up. What if they are not into the whole 'Jesus' stuff as heavily as you, or at all?
The bible is a collection of works from various places and can be read as a history book or even a book of prophecy, or theological work, without the hyper-religious baggage you Nigerians carry with it like conditioned robots.
brainycaleb: Ogbeni you're capping Nonsense joor first get your facts right before you come online to disgrace the Christian way of life! This mythical creature is the guardian of peace in the culture of the Portuguese, Spanish and Mexicans! Read more about their myths and legends before you wish for the end of the world.
The Bible said in James 1:26; "If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless."Proverbs 18:15-24 English Standard Version 15 An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
Does it not occur to your thick head that his observation and interpretation could still be accurate EVEN IF the ''mythical creature is the guardian of peace in the culture of the Portuguese, Spanish..'' etc?
ifiokjohn: 2015-2019.. that is the year ..4 years the Indian President used to pull 100 million off poverty and that was the same year Buhari came in and the same 5 year he spent as his first tenure. How come he couldn't even pull a patry 5 million Nigeria off poverty but instead sent 100 million into poverty?
India President proves to buhari to stop talking and do his work. He didn't go blaming the previous administration for the amount of poor people in India .. he work to pull them off poverty.
Stop defending incompetence abeg
Dumbo, Nigeria entered a recession in 2015 after oil prices crashed. Jonathan did nothing but loot the treasury, so there was nothing to fall back on. How the hell was Buhari supposed to banish poverty under such circumstances? Nigeria is an oil-dependent economy, unlike India. Don't use your brain. Be typing ignorant rubbish.
Lying criminal and looter. The railway line is not being ''built in Niger Republic'', you conman. It runs through Nigeria and ends in Maradi, by the Niger BORDER.
CRIMINAL LOOTER AND LIAR. You know your deceitful words will hoodwink gullible Nigerians who know no better.
Buhari is borrowing because you, Jonathan, Diezani, and co stole the nation blind, being criminal looters.
And he is building multiple beneficial projects with the money, unlike you PDP criminals only interested in stealing.
My mum is 76 years and I've never seen her cough or sneeze, or blow her nose ONCE. Till she took this jab, and now, all she does is cough and sneeze. She insists it's ''not covid'', and plans to take the 'booster' jabs. I'd advised her not to touch those jabs, but I guess she knew better.
oliverwrites: Nothing bad about it. Left to me, we should still be colonized, we are not fit for any sort of leadership roles. No be same Nigeria where people steal money they don't NEED?
Don't be dumb. Nigerian leaders, for all their shortcomings, have achieved 1,000 times more than what the colonialists did in their 8o year rule, which left you without a single power station, university, or industry at independence, zero infrastructure, plus a literacy rate of 5% (compared to 75% today), which was why all your grandparents were barefooted illiterate village peasants stuck in the farm.
Mumu slave mentality people.
Colomentality
E be say you be colonial man You don be slave man befoe Dem don release you now But you never release yourself
asanausana91: Ipob can deny even their parents, the moment they see Nigerian army. I have never seen a coward terrorist organization like ipob. The moment you enter wahala ipob will deny you.
That is their modus operandi. No loyalty to you once you are caught. I wonder how long they can last with such a philosophy.
greenie77: Such information has always made the news, stop deceiving yourself. Nigerans have always been reading such news, while you believe we should even be grateful there was an audit.
Stop lying. Under Jonathan we were never told how much was 'unaccounted for' by ministries, NNPC, or anybody. There was no proper audit of anything and it was a free for all lootocratic situation.
Buhari is doing well to audit those ministries and publish the findings.
I bet the misappropriation was 5 times worse during Jonathan's time.
brain54: People who commit suicide get mind o! Imagine the boldness and courage required to take that last plunge... I can imagine what is going through his mind at that final moment!...
Good point. Many see suicide as an act of cowardice.
saintneo: I think you didn't comprehend the OP's reasoning.
There is nothing wrong in having bilateral relationship/talks between two countries. But why would Turkey host a submit for 54 African countries. In the past China did it, America did it; these are big countries with high productivity and funds. If it were Ottoman Empire hosting the submit, it would make sense, but this is just(ordinary) Turkey, many countries in Africa can 'compete' with it on individual basis.
I'm still amazed as to why we were colonised by European countries. Belgium a very small country, even smaller than Rwanda, colonised the Big Congo that is like 20 - 30 times larger.
When Africa go get sense?
Shut up and go and study world history before insulting Africa.
Did the tiny island of Britain not colonise the entire Indian sub-continent, and huge chunks of China?
And tiny Spain the entire new world? I guess their victims there ''don't have sense'' either?
What was the point of your education if your simplistic deduction from conquests is that the victims ''don't have sense''?
Fact is Europe, a previously poor and deprived region of the world, came into contact with the native Chinese mixture, gunpowder, used to create fireworks in Chinese festivals, and their greedy leaders began using them to build firearms - guns, bombs, mortar etc, fiercely from the 17th century onwards, specifically with the intent to conquer and loot the then rich and prosperous foreign continents of 'coloured' people, for their resources.
In a world that had used iron weapons for war for 5,000 years up till then, they caught the entire world by surprise, and conquered every continent, looting, raping, and enslaving people at will.
Their use of firearms was the ONLY reason Europe was able to conquer large swathes of foreign territory and go on colonial/enslavement drives.
vanbonattel: That's a money sharing scheme benefitting only the armed robbers you call politicians. How many of such government backed businesses made it to billionaire status?
Allow people take ownership of their lives and business, just give them an enabling environment, security and good roads is what we need most. Plus a stable economy.
It's too difficult for those thieves in power to understand.
THINK before criticising.
The best way to ''give you security'' is by boosting employment opportunities, to disincentivize crime and criminality.
''Good roads'' come from taxes paid by EMPLOYED people and by businesses.
Nigeria's annual budget for 200 million people is just 35 billion dollars. Even with zero corruption, it is grossly inadequate to fully develop the country.
Compare it to the USA's 6.7 trillion dollar annual budget for 300 million people.
Or South Africa's 125 billion dollars for its 60 million people.
The FG cannot simply ''give you'' those things you mentioned without first significantly ramping up, and diversifying the economy.
ba7man: Osinbajo is trying to draw the attention of the youth into SMEs but a lot of them are brain fried from bigotry, hate, irresponsiblity, meth, complaining, wailing, insults, Wizkid vs Davido, yahoo yahoo, olosho ...etc.
CoolAmbience: Anybody that wants to sigh should go ahead.
All we know is that Buhari is doing well with enhancing Nigeria's infrastructures.
What goodwill are you talking about?
Is it the goodwill of Warri-Itakpe Railway that lingered for over 30 years? Or the Second Niger Bridge that was just drawn on a piece of paper? Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is there. Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Onitsha-Enugu Highway etc.
I want to know if it is the goodwill of the Akanu Ibiam International Airport terminal that became a death trap until Buhari invested N10billion into its renewal?
Do you know that there is no land access between Bonny Island and the rest of Nigeria, especially Rivers state? Find out how Buhari is fixing that, and attempting to preserve the tens of precious lives that die on the waters between Nembe and Bonny, yearly.
See, if you are expecting Buhari to share money, you go wait taya o....just forget am.
Don't mind these PDP THIEVES on Nairaland, including so called secessionists. They hate him because he does not let them loot public funds like before under Jonathan and Diezani (MADAM 12 MILLION DOLLAR BRA)
