This government is finished!

To the contrary, they've done the right thing.
Can we compare the old subsidized and regulated phone market to the deregulated and unsubsidized ones of today? In numbers of employment and economy enhancements and advancement? Certainly not.

Then she was pardoned with warnings.
Ignoring the warnings, she went back to her fraudulent practice. Where else? but in the fantastically corrupt nation.
Naija !!! Unna wan kill somebody with laugh.

evansjeff:
good to know you're not in Benin so stop meddling into issues you can't substantiate. Good bye.

"Meddling into issues you can't substantiate" ?
Purported eyes witness account is substantial enough to warrant meddling and inquires. If you are so such of
your contrary assertion, trash it out with IONSMAN who reported the observations in his comments.

evansjeff:
pics of the decomposing body before i reply you, I don't argue baselessly.

See IONSMAN post few posts before mine.
I'm not in Benin. My comments were due to his observations at scene later, he said.

ogmask:
Your point is valid. I agree with you to the extent that we have done this for ages and its not working. Honestly this system of govt, which is peculiar to Nigeria alone, serve just a few powerful pple. You have a point bro.

Good you see what mean. Before and after independence we had real diversified federalism. Designed by colonial master in collaboration with our pioneer leaders. Taking the vastness of our resources and diversity of our people into considerations.
But the military dictator in 1966 created this useless unitary system with fiat decree promulgation. To give themselves absolutel power. Prior to that point in 1966,
All regions controlled all their resources and paid taxes and royalties to federal government. Western region substained themselves mostly with cash crops like cocoa, rubber, timber and farmings. Eastern region also had rubber, palm produces, minerals like coal in Enugu and udi hill, etc and farmings. Northern region had their groundnut pyramids, cattles raring, other farms produce and Tin ore deposit in jos.
Later when Mid-West region was created in 1963
they had palm oil, timber AT&P(AfricaTimber&plywood),
Latex rubber, some cocoa, fishing, canoes/boats building, and a little fossel oil that was strucked in 1956 in Oliberi in the then delta province of Mid-West now Bayelsa.Other minerals, and general farmings All regions were doing well paying taxes to substain the central government.
No regions were dependending on others. Only federal government was depending on the regions.
The stupid thieving military idiots came turned everything around. Developed the national cake concept and made themselves the guidance of the cake. Turned the States to be dependending (beggars) from federal government. Is absorb. Must go back to the original design for this country to survive, thrive and grow.

UmuEri:
I will comment later.


For a start, Buhari is a terrorist.

All Fulanis elites knew of the plan. Even Buhari was aware. Must have been informed by his informants among his Fulanis elites. No wonder he paid.deaf ears after the carnage. Buhari is the terrorist herdsmen grand patron.

demarc001:
They have cleared everywhere yet they still have whole 7 villages to clear! Is it the same places that they clear over and over?

I wonder. How many more villages and localities that bokoharam is no longer occupying yet to be liberated?

evansjeff:
All I can notice is the good roads and drainages, the street lights, early arrival of fire service, thumps up to Oshiomhole

And they left decomposing corpse at the side of a gutter?

ogmask:
In theory yes. But the drivers of the project are same pple looting our common patrimony today. Taking charge of all your resources does not guarantee uprightness. Even with the paltry 13% coupled with IGR, we should see visible development by now. Our pro Lem as a pple is our attitude and not the system of govt persay. Decentralisation will not stop a rougue civil servant from plying his trade. It will not stop a politician from stealing or a policeman from collecting bribe. Decentralisation cannot reduce the greed and selfishness of the local govt chair. I do not see it killing mutual suspicion either. The Abia man will still see the anambra man as non indegene. It will not stop the ijaw man from beefing the itsekiri man and vise versa.
Our problem is both leadership and followership. What we need is change of attitude, value system and mutual respect.

Even if all you enumerated are true, it pale in magnitude compare to current system where all are in one basket. There will be no gazillion for dishonest and corrupt leaders to take huge slices of the cake. There will be more units of smaller cakes to guard. Putting all cakes in one basket is a no brainer. Let each group grow their cakes and manage them with overarching federal regulations and supervisions. 56 years of doing the same thing with failures is enough to try alternative.
Especially when that alternative was what our pioneers and colonial designed at independence due to the diversity of the country.

Bnladan:
wateva name u call dem, 2 identities can not be taken away frm dem; Christians dey re and terrorists dey re.

So far they've not earned TERRORISTIC label.
If they start cutting people heads off, and killing
Innocents people indiscriminately, then, will merit such Isis and bokoharam Islamic luciferian name.
Right now, they're just "down for the struggle" from the oppressor that have the upper hand. FREEDOM FIGHTERS they are.

ogmask:
For them, the zoo must fall. Then I ask , who will lead the new "heaven"? Instead of holding the leaders accountable they are busy shouting bring down Nigeria. How I wish this country can disintegrate so that some blind folks will know that the difference between 'green eagles and supper eagles' is in the name.

Nigeria problem is not leadership.
Problem is the ugly and nasty foundational structure.
Unitary system sucks. Creates inefficiency, laziness and dependency. Decentralisation is the key for all the engines of the system to work at the same time.
Those who have been getting by on dependending on others, are afraid to stand on their own two feet.

Bnladan:
...threats from NIGER DELTA CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS

You got that wrong sir.
Is a threat from NIGER DELTA CHRISTIANS FREEDOM FIGHTERS. fighting for total liberation from exploitative, subjugative and parasitic oppressions.

ionsman:
I guess not because,even though my glasses were wound up,I could notice some motorists spitting obviously from the stench. And from the way the corpse was surrounded by flies,it's pretty obvious it has been there before yesterday.

Unbelievable. Why will the health dept let such.thing happen? Phones with everybody everywhere. Someone must have reported. That's a shame.

ionsman:
I passed through that route yesterday, and there was a dead body lying on the road close to that mission road junction close to the fallen tanker.

Could the body have been a victim of the fallen tanker?
Were there any visible injury on the body? Must had succumbed to too much fumes inhalation from the fuel
Later. Otherwise, the fire ambulance would have picked him up.

Live my Benin people alone. Dem dey help the tanker driver scoop the fuel back inside the tank. Hahaha.

.....How many aircrafts has he made with his power. Those Americans sitting beside him have used their powers to invent alot of things that make life comfortable not only for the Ooni but the entire black-race. JUST HIT LIKE if you agree.

Powerful contributions to human wellbeing, are all not
Materialistic physical. Harmonious societal social orders like the Oba provides, begets environments,
inventive minds can thrive and proliferate.

APC sleeping on duty !!!!

senior123:
DID ANYONE CALL ON GEJ OR PROTEST FOR THEM WHEN BOKO HARAM WAS TURNING THEM INTO KILICHI. DID ANY NIGERIAN NON-NORTHERN STATE EVEN SAY, LET US KNOW OW THESE PPLE R DOING? FOR OVER 10 YEARS THESE PEOPLE SUFFERED GENOCIDE, DISPLACEMENT, LOST THEIR HOMES, THEIR CHILDREN, IDENTITY EVERYTHING THEY HAD. WE HAD PPLE IN D SOUTH, BUT PPLE HAD TO COME FROM ACROSS D ATLANTIC TO GIVE NORTHERN CHILDREN WATER. EVEN WHEN ENTIRE VILLAGES OF MUSLIM/CHRISTAIN PPLE WERE BEING BURNT AND CHILDREN BEING THROWN INTO FIRES, U PPLE STILL FOUND A WAY TO MAKE IT ABOUT URSELVES CALLING IT A "CHRISTAIN GENOCIDE". WHO IS UNDERGOING GENOCIDE IN THIS COUNTRY? CHRISTAINS ABI MUSLIMS?

I AM NOT A NORTHERNER, OR A MUSLIM, BUT I CAN FULLY UNDERSTAND IF D NORTH DECIDES TO IGNORE US. EVEN NOW THEY R STILL DYING, DID DEY FRUSTRATE GEJs LIVE?

ALWAYS SEEKING FOR NOTICE. ONE ATTACK IN ENUGU, THAT THERE IS REALLY NO TRUE EVIDENCE OF, U PPLE HAVE TURNED IT INTO MEDIA STUNT. EVEN D NORTHERNERS THAT R D ONCE FIGHTING, DYING IN WARS, LOOSING PROPERTIES AND CHILDREN. MOTHERS OF CHIBOOK GIRLS HAVE NOT EVEN AGITATED LIKE THIS. ALL STATES R DEALING WITH DEIR PROBLEMS, PLZ DEAL WITH URS.

AS D SOUTH IGNORED D NORTH THROUGH OUT BOKO HARAM CRISIS, SO HAVE THEY IGNORED US.

REALLY IT GETS IRRITATING.

You.made no sense. Bokoharam have been national menaces. Uncountable southerners and other Nigerians other than northerners had paid the ultimate sacrifices due to bokoharam, the brain child of sharia northerners.
Many soldiers and other forces of southern origins have died fighting the Northern evil terrorists. Is the same northern governors and elders that said attacks against bokoharam are attacks against north. They only started crying like babes when bh started killings Muslims after decimating their christians and southern populations.

naptu2:
So much ignorance on this thread.

1) SPY policemen are not funded or paid by the government. They are funded by the organisation that they work for.

2) SPY policemen are not undercover agents. They are supernumerary policemen.

3) The nigerian policemen have not always worn black uniforms. They wore light blue uniforms until 1987.

The black uniforms make it more difficult for criminals to see them at night (just like the green uniforms of the army make it more difficult to see them in the jungle and the desert fatigues make it more difficult to see them in the desert.

What is supernumerary police? Never hard of that.
Do you mean they are temporary police unit ?
supplemental to regular? The OP need to be explicit, instead of using spy as in undercover.

Inside job. They better look and also arrest the bank officers that approved the loans. What credibilities and properties collateralized such loans?

Sunky200:
spy dey get official uniform?

Abeg, ask him. Even a child wen e never start school knows from cartoon programs the two don't mix.
Oxymoronic statement. Spy uniform.

Northern governors need to protest to the right quarter. The United nations security organization labelled Fulanis herdsmen terrorists and their bokoharam Islamic terrorists as number one and fourth world jihadist terrorists menaces. They can fool and deceive themselves. The world knows you for what you are. Terrorists blood suckers.

May his soul rest in peace.
People need to be very careful.
Lots of our fancy bathroom floors tiles, showers porcelain floors and full bathtubs are death traps.
Some of them are not fit for the purposes they're used for. Very slippery when wet, specially with soapy water.
Worst culprits are in the hotels. Always lay towels on the floors before stepping in.

Is this automotive engineering department project ?
Most be a joke. Not sure they know what automobiles is.
Automobile is not crafting angular forms.

The motor or engine. (mechanical energy generator).

Distribution of mechanical energy generated by engine to locomotive energy (transmission).

And the combustion systems to convert flammable energy to mechanical energy (carburetor/ injections) systems.

Designing, fabricating and manufacturing any of these and more, like exhaust system, Cooling system etc is what constituents making an automobile.
Building architectural body shape is a child play.

Google DUNE BUGGY.
See operating vehicles without body, with just only necessary parts that generates mobilities.

AntiIPOB:
And after they overthrew him and outline his (buhari)sins and misdirections,what have they done for the years that follows?
The people that think he was misdirecting us, took us to the journey of no return,till today,Nigeria has not recover from the regime of general babangida.
After so many years,buhari has started what he tried to do before,that means the only way out is his way,therefore,I advice you wailers,ipobs,pained election losers etc to relax,PMB is incharged.

When a skipper is going slow at 50 knots/minute instead of 100knots/ minute, we will inventually get there, but late. With a ship skipper like Buhari incharge, who is not only going slow at 50 knots/minute, but is going round and round in circles, will might never get there.

pressplay411:
There's a Yoruba adage that says "ori ediye kole bury titi ko yeyin dudu"
Meaning nomatter how cursed a hen is it can't lay a black egg.
IBB's govt that overthrew Buhari had to do something so no doubt he got a thing or 2 right because he had to prove they were better and faster than their predecessor but at the expense of a lot more damage.
Just like GEJ no matter how we criticize him his mark can be felt in agriculture and entertainment But we all know he failed in the core sectors; education, health, security etc.

You're rite. IBB though was unpopular at the end. He saved the national economy that was free falling and drifting during Buhari. He listened and used advice from enlightened technocrats to restructured the national economy. His only and major problem was political. Was not truthful about power transitions. Was deceiving people(maradonna) about handover to civilian rule calender. Otherwise his tenure saw lot of economic progress. like return of common goods that were scarce during Buhari to market again. Until Abacha recalcitrancy and international trades pressures to tame him led to austerity again.

calabardick:
is it not the same person?

If Buhari had at anytime when he was out of government gone to school or any tutorial program like Gowon to better his academic resume, would have expected something different from him. As someone said above, the worst of democratic civilian government is better than military regime. We just have to pray and hope he listen to better minds to propel the nation to higher levels.

pressplay411:
I can't feign knowledge of the state of the economy as at 1984 whether good or bad, retrogressive or progressive but one thing is certain, Buhari just like today inherited a broke and broken country ravaged by corruption.
The same people that removed him are responsible for the devalued Naira, high cost of living, deplorable state of inftastructure and high indiscipline in civil service.
So tell me, they claim he was moving at slow pace but at least he was moving forward. Had he been allowed to finish his regime I'm sure our country would have been the better for it. Ousting Buhari in 1984 is one of the defining moments in our country's milestone that we can never reverse and we're still suffering for it.

This speech only resonates the fact that we should have patience and let Buhari finish his term so that we don't end up hurrying into the ditch once again.

Slow and steady, not fast and deadly.

IBB with certain economic directions. Implemented SAP and allowed naira to compete and find it levels in opened world market. Beginning his term with oil at $9/barrel, was able to build Abuja from scratch. And many other structural developments. Above All businesses started booming again and hiring workers that were all retrenched during Buhari. Time wait for no one. Time is money. Government who knows the time value of money, don't waste time to get things done.

Hahaha. Where is Dongoyaro now?
Same old crap Buhari, chasing imaginary enemies.
Prosecuting and re-prosecutions of imagined corrupt politicians. Even kidnapping (Umaru Dikko).
Meanwhile, ship of state drifts aimlessly without conceived and implemented economic directions of national growth rejuvenation. Only bullying on the bullypuppit with Idiagbon. Same old sh*t now.
The leopard can never lost it strips.

Naijalastson:
i stand to be corrected kidnapping started from Niger delta not south east i thing the so called northern governors should have done a proper research before issuing the press release

From contemporary history, Buhari introduced kidnapping to Nigerians consciousness. International kidnapping and drugging of Umaru Dikko.

Don't understand this. Is this not a northern sharia state?
Why these christians social intrusion into Muslims states?
