I am looking at the uninformed posts in this thread and shaking my head... Nobody knows what luxury/ostentatious goods are. Plus the increase in taxes on ostentatious goods cannot be passed on to the masses since the all of our ostentatious goods (apart from armoured vehicles) are imported.

plus in regards to policies:
We are not talking about eventually, we are talking about now. Plus the current government is not going to enact any policies that will affect the masses negatively due to the incoming 2015 elections. Also by February I see the price of oil coming of these lows to somewhere between 80 and 90 dollars so any cutting measures that affect the masses will not take place.

Ok.Some of us are no more gullible,our leaders have failed us.All their economic measures are always theoretical and nt practical as obtained in other countries.Anybody that believes this govt can believe anything.

davitogreat:
Did u read the article?

They are going to limit foreign visits by public officials and raise taxes on luxury goods.

They never said they would cut public spending.

Eventually,tne masses will stil bear the brunt.Dont trust this people,their policies wil never favor the poor.

davitogreat:
the only people that are going to be affected by these austerity measure are the elites. So I don't know why people are all up in arms about it.
These means the decline in oil is making our leaders wake up to their responsibilities.

Elites ko,kegites ni.U go suffer ehn.

Good for them.

we are fully prepared

ekiti in trouble!

Mizkeri:
it's good o,only d first week was stressful.

Best of luck!

Which level playing field? As if we don't know that whoever the party leaders favour will emerge the candidate

Is it ur business?

there is freedom of association.it was mimiko yesterday,it can be imoke or anybody today,even Jonathan tomorrow.

The governor of Cross River, Senator Liyel
Imoke, who moved the seat of government
to the national secretariat of the Peoples’
Democratic Party (PDP) in protest against the
November 1 ward congress elections held in
the state, is expected back in Calabar yesterday, 14th Nov. Barring any last minute change of plan,
Imoke is expected to make a state-wide
broadcast announcing his decampment
along with his “PDP Family” members to the
All Progressives Congress(APC) as well as
comment on allegations leveled against him by his predecessor, Mr. Donald Duke, at a
recent public forum. However, impeccable sources within the
Imoke confidants, say he may “only carry a
handful of his remaining supporters as many
have become wise to the fact that his ship is
fast sinking and have therefore jettisoned
him.” The governor and the chairman of the party
in the state, Ntufam John Achort Okon had,
shortly after the ward congresses,
announced their satisfaction with the
outcome of the exercise, describing it as free
and fair. However, when it became obvious that the result was actually not in their favour,
Imoke moved the entire machinery of
government to Abuja, lobbying to get the
national secretariat to upturn the result of the
exercise. Sources disclosed that Imoke lost the battle of
getting the national secretariat to cancel the
results of the ward congresses, even after he
had attempted to lobby them with the sum of
N500 million, which was outrightly rejected
as the officials who conducted the exercise in the state insisted that the results turned in
were authentic. Not even the intervention of a
high ranking chieftain of the party from the
South-South zone could turn things in his
favour against the will of the electorates. The bribe attempt has been denounced by
civil servants in the state as a misplaced
priority, especially as they are yet to be paid
their October salaries, midway into another
month. Sources at the treasury disclosed that N100
million cash was withdrawn from the state’s
salary account during the Abuja trip. The irony of the situation is that even when
the governor was in Abuja trying to get his
way, major stakeholders of the party, made
up of the 18 local government council
chairmen, House of Assembly members, some
governorship aspirants and chapter chairmen of the PDP had, in a communiqué at the end of
a meeting they held, applauded the governor
for superintending over a free and fair ward
congress across the state, frowning at any
attempt to effect an alteration. The governor,
we learnt, was irked at the action of the stakeholders and has called them to order.
Unfortunately, the state-owned media outfits
and some national dailies had reported the
story conspicuously. As usual, the state chairman of the party is at
the receiving end of the governor’s wrath for
not perfecting the art of putting the party’s
and governor’s interests in order, “by hook
or by crook.” It was gathered that the
chairman was threatened with a sack from his juicy position should the national secretariat
of the party fail to reverse the result in their
favour. Some loyalists of the governor have been
making derogatory statements about the
leadership of the party at the national level on
account of their refusal to do Imoke’s
bidding. They accused the national secretariat
of taking side with some aspirants. Provoked by this ugly accusation, the
national secretariat of the party directed the
closure of the party’s secretariat in the state. As at the time of filing this report, the Murtala
Mohammed Road secretariat is still under lock
and key, with security men keeping watch.
On interrogation, one of them revealed that
they were under strict instructions not to
allow anyone, not even the chairman, enter into the building.http://www.newspunch.org/breaking-gov-liyel-imoke-of-cross-river-sets-to-join-apc/

mcquin:
Aiit bro I understand where you are coming from. But look at it this way, there are a whole lots of others that were never in PDP and have worked hard. Okorocha was never in PDP, Oshiomhole was never in PDP, Fashola was never in PDP...and even b4 the national cross-carpetting on PDP members on the floor of the House of Rep's, PDP e-warriors still hated APC. So saying APC is hated cos most of them are former PDP members is a lie cos b4 d cross-carpetting, APC was still hated.


Now let's assume Kwakwanso is the PDP flag bearer 4 d next election and not Jonathan, will many of you still support PDP? Will many still say APC is a Muslim party? Will many of you say APC is filled with recycled PDP members


I can bet my life that many supporters of PDP on here once hated PDP with their life especially during OBJ/Yar'adua era. The whole lot that support PDP now only do that because Jonathan is now in power and they forget that many Yoruba's including the Kuti family played a key role in bring Jonathan to office when Turai Yar'adua was power hungry.


In truth while many PDP supporters right now support PDP because Jonathan is there, a majority of persons that support APC especially from the South are only interested in Nigeria's growth regardless of who is in power.

Agreed the North's born to rule mentality is choking, but if at the moment there is someone that can perform better than Goodluck, then for heaven's sake let's enthrone that person;whether from North,south,east or west. These are critical times for Nigeria and Nigerians.


God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I am not interested in any political party bt the personality of my next president irrespective of his/her political,ethnic and religious affliations.
The present one is clueless with paucity of ideas.

decode55:
say "NO" to the north! !!!

It was a northerner that reduced fuel pump price from 70naira to 65naira bt a southener increased it astronomically to 97naira.
It was a northerner(cbn gov) who removed the 100naira atm charges bt a southerner re-introduced it.
I am a southerner and i want to witness a change for once irrespective of where my president comes from.
Anyway being a beneficiary of this present insensitve and clueless govt,u can say whatever u like to promote ur benefactor.

Late Proff. Dora was once a Consultant b4 d Physicians rebelled against it.

Specialised in what field?

Anything goes under Jonathan Government.I am nt surprised.
In the history of health sector in Nigeria,none of the previous governments has acceded to this bt wen the leader has paucity of ideas(cluelessnes),wht do u expect?
Health sector wil surely be in disarray.


Seriously,it is only in Nigeria,the medical Consultants see themselves as small gods in the hospital.As such every dick and harry wants to become a consultant.Govt spends so much money on training Doctors.Other health professionals too feel cheated with this,they are jst like 'spectators' in the health sector.The doctors are being paid while under training and they stil want to collect specialist allowance after becoming consultants.The residency training shd be restricted to only teaching hosp and the arrogance being displayed by the consultants as being the alpha and omega of health sector shd be checked forthwith.

Anything goes under Jonathan Government.I am nt surprised.

Buhari seems to ve the support of the masses especially from the north,the impediments are his age and the erronous belief the he is a religion bigot.
Tambuwal is youthful,he has the suppot of the elites(including obj i think),he may be acceptable to the christians.

As the APC presidential primary appproaches,which of these two candidates(Tambuwal/Buhari)can give Jonathan a run for his money.APC has to field a candidate that wil be acceptable to Nigerians irrespective of their ethnic and religion affliations.Who between the two candidate shd APC present?

kudos

Government shd be proactive this time around
1.Get auto analysers for lab investigations,also the doctors in lab wil be helpful
2.Recruit some CHEWs to replace nurses and with house officers on ground.
3.Recruit plumbers,drivers and electricians on contract basis
4.patients purchase drugs outside the hosp.
With these on ground and the committment of the Doctors,our hospitals wil run normally with little or no hitch.

Ileya!

look nice

US wants her prediction that Nigeria may go their separate ways by 2015 to come to pass.
Seriously,we need an ex-military person at the helm of affairs to nip this insurgence in the bud.

hmmmmm

welldone

Police dare not do such in Nigeria.

South African police have launched an investigation into corruption allegations linked to President Jacob Zuma’s $24m state-funded upgrade of his house, according to parliamentary papers. In a written police response to lawmakers published on Monday, police confirmed that a probe into accusations that the leader misused public funds to refurbish his house in the rural village of Nkandla “has been initiated”. Zuma, who was re-elected in May, has insisted that he had no knowledge of the work on his home, including the construction of a swimming pool, private clinic and amphitheatre. His government has insisted all the refurbishments were security related. The issue has become a lightning rod for criticism of Zuma’s administration, which is seen by many South Africans as tolerant of corruption and incompetence. South Africa’s national assembly erupted in August with lawmakers chanting “pay back the money”, demanding Zuma return the millions of dollars spent on his home. Opposition leader, Mmusi Maimane, of the Democratic Alliance said “now the police must do their jobs”. Maimane and other opposition politicians had called for Zuma to be the subject of a criminal investigation over the issue, and have demanded he resign. The public ombudsman Thuli Madonsela in March ruled that Zuma had “benefited unduly” from the construction, ordering him to pay part of the cost. Zuma has faced both political and public wrath of the excessive spending, in a country battling rampant unemployment and inequality.http://www.punchng.com/news/south-africa-police-probe-zuma-for-corruption-2/
