PoliticsWe’ve Little To Show For 16 Years Of Oil Boom – Buhari by Roadmike(op): 1:34am On Apr 06, 2016
Imagine your President never tired of the Blame Game- Can somebody ask the president what his plans are we are all aware he has made effort for 3 consecutive time until now. But there are no concrete evidence of somebody that is well prepared and has a roadmap to lead us through. Enough of these Blame Game. Mr president sit down and work, Nigerians are suffering things are getting worse, than you met them .

We’ve little to show for 16 years of oil boom – Buhari
April 5, 2016

President Muhammadu Buhari


Olalekan Adetayo

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday regretted that Nigeria has little to show for the huge resources it made from oil in the past 16 years.

He said despite the fact that oil sold above $100 per barrel for the greater part of the last 16 years, leaders of the country refused to plan for the rainy day.

According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving the Nigerian-born President of the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Dr. Bernard O. Aliyu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari said while enduring infrastructure was built with the little resources available in the First Republic, a lot of money was made in the last 16 years with little to show for the money.

The Peoples Democratic Party has been in charge of the Federal Government in the last 16 years, until 2015 when Buhari of the All Progressives Congress ousted the former President Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP.

“In the First Republic, more enduring infrastructure was built with meagre resources. But in the past 16 years, we made a lot of money without planning for the rainy day.

“We showed a lot of indiscipline in managing our economy, and that is why we are where we are today. But this time round, we’ll do our best,” the President said.

He stressed the urgent need to ensure that the potentials of Nigeria are harnessed and used for the good of the country.

He said, “Nigeria needs to work on her potentials, so that we don’t remain permanently at the level of potentials.

“If Ethiopia is sustained largely by her airline industry, we have greater potentials here. But we must move out, engage with the rest of the world, as we need to re-establish the integrity of this country. We need to rebuild this country again.”

Aliyu was also quoted as commending Buhari for his strides on anti-corruption fight.

He was said to have urged Nigeria to pay more attention to development of civil aviation.

“Civil aviation is a catalyst for economic development. The level of aviation development in any country mirrors the economic development of that country,” Aliyu said.

The ICAO president pledged to support the development of the aviation industry in Nigeria.

He urged the country to improve on training and capacity development, aviation security, aerodromes and air navigation, runways, control towers as well as terminal buildings, among others.
PoliticsRe: Saraki's PA Made 50 Deposits Into His Account In One Day - EFCC Detective by Roadmike(m): 1:07am On Apr 06, 2016
Reading this piece leads me to asking the following:

Is this testimony part of asset declaration guess the charge is on under declaration or pre-emptive asset declaration etc.

The listed testimony is not for CCB but for corruption related charge

EFCC Agents were aware of all this lodgement and they did their analysis based on report by the Bank, why did they not act ? Saraki left Office some 8 years or so ago ?

lots and lots of question ……………..

Summary
EFCC needs be sanctioned for keeping a bland eye to a report as this.

Rather that missing the trial, offences should be separated and tried as such

Its all of these that is making the people and his supporters to attribute the trial to persecution

This Regime of Buhari is too vindictive and surprisingly he's being celebrated by some Nigerians even on Nairalander.

The list is endless is that how to run a Country and besides where is the Certificate let the Army present it to the whole world. It is a fact that most of Buhari's contemporary then in the Nigerian Army had no requisite qualifications. All that was required was a call or letter from an Emir what sort of a country is this. I demand that Buhari presents a copy of the same certificate that has now being found.

Reason for his Success are simply:

Governmental Patronage and access to those in power.

Monopoly- With Government patronage he become a monopoly in virtually all his business area.

Obasanjo laid the foundation for his success, yes he meant well but did not do it well.

Dangote can only thrive in a places like Africa, where he throws his influence around and with the hight level of poverty and greed can buy anyone.

Somebody like him Dangote cannot thrive in Europe or America. Read why Nations Fail and you'll understand better.

We are not there yet.

But let's tell ourselves the truth. The Army under Buhari are doing better than the Army under Jonathan. Let's leave politics and sentiments aside.

The NA are well prepared now then under GEJ that they fled from Nigeria to Cameroon, only for the spokesman for the Army to say it was tactical manoeuvre
Think this is a good question but you really need to ask why if you think they performed better.
Besides how about the elements they are fighting what is their status as at the time Buhari assumes Offices and their level of motivation. Hope not forgotten they earlier recommended the same Buhari to be their representative in an earlier proposed negotiation with the then GEJ government.

Please think, ask question and then infer answers

PoliticsRe: Why Can’t Those Christians That Complained Go And Fight Terrorism - Buhari by Roadmike(m): 12:52pm On Mar 07, 2016
sirklin:
President Muhammadu Buhari has confirmed Nigeria’s membership of the Islamic Coalition Against Terrorism being spearheaded by Saudi Arabia amidst speculations of alleged plan to Islamise the country.

The President made the disclosure in an interview he granted to Al-Jazeera during his recent visit to Doha, Qatar, while the interview was aired on Saturday.

When asked whether Nigeria was part of the Islamic coalition, Buhari answered in the affirmative.

He attributed the reason behind the decision to the fact that there are terrorists in Nigeria who claim to be Muslims.

“We are part of it (the Islamic coalition) because we’ve got terrorists in Nigeria that everybody knows which claim that they are Islamic.

“So, if there’s an Islamic coalition to fight terrorism, Nigeria will be part of it because we are casualties of Islamic terrorism,” the President said.

Buhari said he discussed Nigeria’s membership of the coalition with King Salman Bin Abdul-Aziz during their meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia when he visited the country recently.

He however did not disclose how the membership of the Islamic coalition would be beneficial to Nigeria when asked to do so.

He said it would be wrong to disclose the details to the media.

“Well, that we mentioned under Lake Chad Basin Commission, our regional grouping compromising Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Benin and we dedicated a certain number of troops to be deployed in our own sub-region and I don’t think we have to tell the press the details of that,” he simply said.

Buhari however justified Nigeria’s membership of the Islamic coalition, saying there is nothing wrong in joining the coalition since members of the Boko Haram sect fighting in Nigeria have claimed they are Muslims even when their activities are anti-Islam.

He added that the Boko Haram itself had declared loyalty to ISIS

He said, “I’ve just told you it is the Boko Haram itself that declared loyalty to ISIS.

“ISIS is basically based in Islamic countries. Now, if there’s a coalition to fight Islamic terrorism, why can’t Nigeria be part of it, while those that are fighting in Nigeria as Boko Haram claim to be Muslims? But the way they are doing it is anti-Islamic.”

When confronted with the fact that Nigeria has large populations of both Muslims and Christians and that some Christians are complaining that he is giving Islamic identity to the country by his actions, Buhari wondered why the Christians who are complaining have not deemed it fit to confront members of Boko Haram in the North East or militants in the South South

“Why can’t those Christians that complained go and fight terrorism in Nigeria or fight the militancy in the South. It’s Nigeria that matters, not the opinion of some religious bigots,” he declared.


The President however denied any attempt to change the religious identity of the country.

He said, “How can I change the religious identity of Nigeria?

“No religion advocates hurting the innocent and just because the Muslims are the ones that claim to be Boko Haram and they are killing innocent people whether in the church, in the bus or in the market place, then I will just sit and look at them because I too am a Muslim? Islam is against injustice in any form.”

For the information of All and Mr President himself, majority of solders involved in the fight against terror in the North East were mainly Southern Christian same for the casualties. Its only of rent that the Buratais of this world are getting involved when the war is almost over.

A president should for all intent and purposes a father figure and respond to the wishes and desires of his people. But the issues is who are those sending their kids overseas ? Majority are Southerners following the failure of the Educational System instigated by them.

Maintain a differential price mechanism who are those behind BDC mainly malams. He tells you his going to sanction and prosecute those involve in round tripping. How is he to do that and of what value is that to the economy.

most countries desirous of advancement would rather pursue educational pursuit for their wards but not with the Nigerian president.

Its rather unfortunate. No qualms will have to endure his madness, hope we will all learn.

Hypocrisy in this country stinks to high heavens. You see people insulting Islam over what is a norm in the suppose "holy south" were a girl leaves her parents home to be with her man friend even when she is 14yrs. The funny thing about the people insulting Islam is that they are dirty people doing all sorts of dirty and abominable things.

How can a sane man "abduct" a supposed sane girl from beyelsa to kano without her full consent? Does it even make any sense? So yunusa forced the girl into a cab all the way from bayelsa to kano without facing any resistance from her or without anybody noticing? This is the very vital question the "holy ones" need to ask themselves
its better we watch out for this pedophile of a man.
Listen to yourself, calling this a NORM, getting married to a 13/14years old girl. Do not think that is a norm anywhere in the south of this Country. Its a norm only in the North and if in the south which i doubt very week, may be where your Islamist prevail. After all the prophet defile a 9years girl and equally took the wife of a relation so nothing is abnormal about the whole lot of this.
But the funny aspect of the whole lot of these is that when some people become Islamist they tend to let go what constitute their CULTURAL NORMS and ETHICS. No where where such is condone in the South that i know.

And you must yourself know if an adherent SEX and HYPNOTISM are Norm in ISLAM. Hence a "same" human being would go to commit SUCIDE in the name of PLEASING Allah.
