Aunty you are vexing oooooo....Lol

I Dey vex no be small.

Bishop4real:
To criticize, you must be ready to come forth with better option(s) than what is on ground. For one to term a proposal "empty", one needs to come up with a better alternative or otherwise, shut up. The minister for budget & planning does not necessarily need to appear before senate plenary to defend the document as long as he appears before the appropriate senate committee on budget/finance! Nation building is a collective responsibility of all citizenry; your input is needed. If, however, you think it's the president's job alone, then allow the presidency do its job! At the end of a the tenure, evaluate your score card and rate the administration accordingly.

Yes, I agree with you that it's no coincidence that what happened in 1983 is happening now. But the question remains:Do you know why? Because what happened before 1983 (wastefulness/corruption of Shagari's regime) also happened before the advent of this administration (wastefulness/corruption of GEJ's administration). Ask yourself why we always face this problem anytime we fail to maximize gains of oil boom? This is simple economic reality: when you fail to plan & save in time of surplus; you must be ready to surfer the challenges/pains of scarcity. We are paying the prize of monumental wastefulness!

and it's everytime Buhari becomes President that the country begins paying the price of wastefulness.

I can bet you everything we are going through now could have been avoided or if not avoided, could have been managed better. Tell me one thing they have done right concerning this economy since they resumed office. Remember the first few weeks of Buhari's resumption, our stocks rose, investor confidence was high, but then Buhari began work. No direction on the economy, making foolish statements like he met an empty treasury, CBN suddenly cutting off forex supply to businesses, thereby creating panic and investors ran. Then they said they don't need the investors, Nigeria would be better without them. No ministers and when he finally put them together, they have no idea what their ministeries are about. He gave Crude oil exporters ultimatums at a time when oil was selling at an all time low as if Nigeria is the only Oil producing country they can buy from. Then he cancelled the Niger delta amnesty programme...just making all the bad decisions and you say wastefulness?

Even if the past administrations were wasteful and nothing was saved, isnt that the time to be careful not to lose your customers? Instead you kuku chase them off and later go and be begging them to return after the economy has been plunged into recession. Will they dash you their money to be wasted again especially when they do not see any clear cut plans to get out of it which is what the senate is asking this so called Minister of planning Udo Udoma.

The little money the country is making is going to oil exploration in the North by the NORTHERN NIGERIA PETROLEUM COMPANY and he keeps preaching diversification. Now he wants to borrow 30billion dollars which I bet you,half of it will go into oil exploration.

By the way, how dare you say the minister doesnt need to appear before the senate committee? Even the president, if summoned is mandated to appear before them. See, these people were put into office by us and tomorrow if we suddenly grow sense and agitate that we no longer want them in power, it is our right. What is democracy after all. The south African president surrenders himself to his Paliament when summoned, where he is insulted and called a thief everytime. If it were Buhari, all the reps would be in DSS custody.

The legislative are our representatives and in a sane government,they answer to the people. No minister...even the president of the United States is not above congress! The PM of the UK goes to Paliament regularly, defending every action he plans to take, so who the hell is one Minister Udo Udoma who has no inkling what he is doing, to refuse to show up when summoned?

Nigerians need to get sense and know that we owe no one, this country is ours and only we can guide it in the direction we want. The people arethe power and I stand with my statement,we are not suffering wastefulness, we are suffering from our current bad leadership!

Under the past administration, Nigeria became the number one economy in Africa. Do you think that position happens without investing money into the economy? You call it wastage, but it was mostly investments. investments which are probably still holding this country together so that things don't become as bad as 1983.Yes, the last administration was riddled with corruption but is it worse than that of Abacha and OBJ's?

Lets not forget oil prices didn't just drop after Buhari entered office. NOI saw what was coming ahead and I'm sure if she and her Economic team had been left to handle it we wouldn't be in this mess.

Even with the massive corruption in our economy and boko haram threats, Nigeria held the first ever world economic summit in Africa and top economists, investors and officials from all over the world attended it because they recognised Nigeria was the next place to invest in. Would they have bothered if our economy had no potential? That's what is called true diversification not this nonsense Buhari keeps shouting yet he's doing opposite.

I say it again, we are suffering from bad leadership not wastefulness.

ollah1:
The bolded can't be forgotten. Late Fela.

What trump and Fela said is the blatant truth. We are cowards. The moment we make them know we ain't one anymore, that's when we begin living like a sane human. It's only in Nigeria that basic amenities doesn't exist. An average Nigerian is yet to experience basic amenities.

Rotimi Amaechi once said " we steal because Nigerians don't stone us". Imagine this line. The day Nigerians start hurting the dumbfcks wherever they see from the local to state and federal then they begin their actual work.

Nigerians only know how to shout on each other. Short afonjas and Igbos blah blah. They continue will religious lines whereas the leaders don't care where you come from when they share the money.

Keep hoping and praying. Keep expecting a messiah to come and save ur asses. Na only Nigerians dey expect God to solve her problems

Bros,I concur with you...but na you wan lead the fight?

come down sister,i understand your point,but he
still needs our 100percent support.. he remains our
president till 2019....let's support Mr President and
cheer him to success

No way! I cant cheer wickedness. Do you know how many people have been killed under this so called President? The most annoying part is he doesn't acknowledge or speak against it. As if no one died or as if it was animals without families that care for them that died.

I could forgive his mishandling of the economy sef but a President that sees nothing wrong with his soldiers murdering at least hundred people at once on different occasions can never have my support.

plenitude:
instead of saying buhari this Buhari that....why aren't they providing the government with possible solutions to end the present economic recession....it's shameful that people are already saying how to vote out the president come 2019....lets work together to take Nigerian out of recession....many nations has experienced recession before now,how do they tackle it we should all do our research and provide the needful information to tackle the current problem surrounding our great nation Nigeria....
NB...he who survives this recession has the chance to vote come 2019..so we gotta work to survive before thinking of next elections....what your take??

Is it me and you that they voted for to run the country and come up with ideas. Have the senators now turned to economists? Is it their job to advice Buhari on what to do? What happened to his economic team? Even the minister of budget and planning refused to show up and defend the document so what do you want the senators to do? I'm even surprised they ended up approving it. It will turn out to be a huge mistake,juat watch

Fact remains Buhari and his band of bumbling buffoons have no idea what they are doing. Right from the get go, after his inauguration, every step Buhari made led us to where we are.

So if the fault is from the top, what can we at the bottom who are nobodies do about it?

Their economic team needs a total overhaul. Udo Udoma has no business planning budget, Kemi Adeosun's has no business being finance minister and as for CBN governor, he is just running around, coming up with one harebrained,half thought policy after another that ends up failing and digging us into deeper mess.

Buhari is at the crown of it all. Is it coincidence that exactly what happened in 1983 is what is happening now? You should thank God that prior to his election, Nigeria had been able to self sustainably produce salt, sugar, milk,flour, cement and some other basic items or you would have been queuing for bread, milk and other basic necessities.

A president that refused to address the gross massacre of his citizens in the north and east, do you think he cares about you and me? Do you think he cares about the prosperity of Nigeria? Buhari is only there for selfish reasons.... vendetta, power and money. Take that to the bank.

BTW, we saw all this coming and warned you people but you were bamboozled with lies. Now we are in recession and the only thing that can help us is if the man at the helm of it all resigns.

Mtcheeeeeeeewwwwwww! The same federal government that is using attorney general to hold back innosons money that GTB defrauded him of.


Rubbish.

I hope something good will come off this visit but I seriously doubt it.

Cant say I'm surprised either. Buhari and his band of bumbling incompetent buffoons.

toyeem:
Seriously, I don't get you. So a woman that stays at home does nothing other than getting fat. For your information, most women that stay at home do so for some basic reasons. For example,would you prefer your wife working for a 8-5job with a salary of 35k while you have two children to cater for and you pay extra money for after-school /nanny or staying at home, doing a small business and having time for your children.
Pls note, I am not a stay-at-home woman but I respect every woman that makes that decision to stay at home.

We stay at home moms have suffered seriously I tell you.


I am a stay at home wife and even though I have a side business I do to earn small cash on the side, let's face it my family takes up my whole time.

I have no maid and I have three kids to prep for school everyday. So, I wake up at four thirty am, prepare their lunch bags, wake them at 5.30 am and begin dressing them for school. I understand my husband has a busy day ahead so I allow him sleep in till 6.30 or 7 am when I wake him to start his preparations for work.

The kids leave for school at 7.30,i have to pick the youngest at 1.30pm and the others return at 3pm. So I have roughly five hours to clean(plates, wash husband, children, my clothes, iron and also work on my personal business which I don't have enough time for as I have so many other things that need my time.

The kids come back and lunch has to be ready for them. I help all of them with their home work and at the same time work on dinner.

After homework and lunch , they rest and I get into the kitchen. Hubby returns, if the children haven't eaten, he helps feed them. I go into kitchen to wash and clean, have my own dinner and relax. Work on my personal stuff and then sleep to wake at four thirty again.

These days NEPA hardly brings light and it just messes up my routine and I spend more time doing stuff like washing clothes by hand, preparing meals every evening because I can't store food as I don't have a generator to keep the fridge cool. We use an inverter but with this mad light that disappears for days, it doesn't do much.

In all this I can say I enjoy being the stay at home wife. People assume we stay at home watching television, folding our arms and all the work gets done by itself but try staying at home with kids for a week and let's see if your stress level won't be higher than it is when you are at work. I travelled for a week one time and left two kids in my husband's care and he was counting the days till I returned.

My kids do very well in school because their home work and projects are always done, my girl has come first three consecutive times now and if she isn't first, she is in the top three. Her teachers were recently commending my husband asking what we teach her in the house because she is far ahead of her peers. My husband understands it's the work I do for them at home.

After every session, my daughter wins either best in Mathematics or sciences and it makes us all really proud. My mother was a working mother and left me and my siblings in the hands of relatives and the things we went through are stories for another day.

I'm not discouraging working women, but just know that us stay at home moms don't sleep all day. We work in our own homes and even though we dont earn a lot from it, bringing up a well rounded child that makes us proud is payment enough.

When my children get older and depend less on me, I could focus on my self and I'm very okay with that.
Just yesterday my husband was telling me that he knows I need help but help comes with its own issues and I agreed . Anyhow it is, I will manage for now and keep doing my side stuff when I have the time.

DSS and EFCC will never find the address to this Judge's house.....
In Booohari's accent, 'He is not kwarrapt.'

So baba Iyabo still get sense like this?

She's saying fact.

It's all about money and power.

Nigeria needs help o but Zimbabwe needs more serious Epp!

Talk to her about it and tell her you don't like her attitude.

She might have some mental issues sef or somethings that triggered this nonsense attitude. She might be bipolar and needs a psychiatrist or something.

If she continue with her rubbish, you sef display for her and then ignore her for a while. So she knows she can't get away with the rubbish and it's annoying you also.

Still be talking to her sha. I think she needs psych help.

SycophanticGoat:
I've always known Vic O owned this moniker..

For what its worth I always liked the Oliver Twist song from the get go. The instrumentals are legendary just like Mogbono felifeli, they are two of Dbanjs songs I can't get tired of but truth be told, his newer songs are not so moving like that anymore.

Feeling the nigga try small, emergency too try but still didn't have that special catchy tune. I haven't heard focus sha.

When I read stories like this I bless God for being born quite privileged. Many are not so lucky.

I still enjoy her 'oko yanpia' song till date sha, even though her vocals are not so awesome but that song is quite catchy.

numericalguy:
God bless all mothers including mothers in law.

















See all the girls saying God bless mothers. Some girls want their mothers in law dead before they marry the son those women bore and raised.

The lady that will marry this guy can one day come to Nairaland and paint this same woman evil. Most Nigerian girls are really confused

I am praising my own mother and all GOOD mothers out there, so which one is this one you are saying? You people just read half and half.

A good mother is a good mother even if she is an in-law.

This is suicide na....

Good mothers are priceless!

I love my mom, she's part of my inspiration...I pray my kids say the same of me when they are older.

But it was your best medium for passing lies and propaganda before..... it's now your worst night mare because you can't lie and get away with it anymore. Now we want to see results not cooked up rubbish!

Na lie! He missed it because what's the point of wasting your time debating when you know the election will be rigged in your favour?

And some people who have lost their senses will be applauding Buhari and his blood hungry demon brothers who are conspiring to annihilate a whole community just because of religious differences.

May a worse fate befall anyone in support of innocent murders.

Is this little girl one of the men carrying machetes? What did this little girl or her mother do to deserve this fate?

Proverbs 6:12-16
A worthless person, a wicked man, goes about with crooked speech, winks with his eyes, signals with his feet, points with his finger, with perverted heart devises evil, continually sowing discord; therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly; in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.

This will be the portion of every wicked soul that has connived against these people. Amen!

My very useless country where nothing works!

OP,you were lucky ooooo, thank God those rabid animals in uniform didn't waste your life.

I really don't want to believe it's Emefiele coming up.with these strange ideas. Must be Buharis cabal!

Toniaeloho:
I plan on following your advice. It's surprising since my parents are well to do. I think they are just scared I will bring a poor boy from a tribe they hate and I will say I love him.

They shouldn't be so eager to marry you off at such a young age. They should believe in you and how they raised you. Like I said, you should also try to be industrious and they will give you some space.

I'm glad to have been of some help. Good luck dear.

Say you will marry him but after school , then when school finish, change your mind that you won't marry!

Rubbish! What kind of parents are those ones sef? It's as if they are looking for the nearest person to offload you on because they don't want to take care of your expenses anymore.

I would advice you to find something of your own doing. A part-time job or Wig making, make up, fashion design etc....something that can get you some money, cos these your parents are just looking for who to take care of their responsibilities.

Is she a perfume sales woman?

I wish them what Buhari wishes Nigerians.

This is what psychiatrists call delusional schizophrenic psychosis.

This is Sia

This man is still talking? SMH!

This is our God exposes people. He should have shut up since but he will keep talking and digging a deeper pit for himself.
