If the previous administration had exerted just half of the energy of the current administration in tackling BH menace they would have been defeated since late 2012. But no, with all the petro dollars at their disposal they decided to steal everything and play politics wit BH.

At this rate even BH will be praying for buhari to slow down on their matter and face other threats. Insha Allah I see BH completely obliterated by 2017.

In buhari's voice : "no one should dare our security forces" (they know themselves)

Which way 9ja?



Lula da Silva, Brazil's former president, has been detained in the city of Sao Paulo for questioning amid a sprawling corruption probe centred on the state-owned oil giant Petrobras, local media reported.

Federal Police Officer Jose Cyrispiniano said on Friday that police searched Lula's home and offices linked to him, including the Instituto Lula, his non-profit organisation, as well as houses of his family members.

Cyrispiniano said that police were acting on a warrant that requires da Silva to answer their inquiries as part of an investigation dubbed Operation Car Wash.

Officials said that a major sweep, including detentions and searches of properties, had taken place in three states as police deepened their probe into a vast embezzlement and bribery conspiracy centred on Petrobras.

"About 200 federal police and 30 auditors served 44 warrants, including 33 warrants for search and seizure and 11 for detention for questioning," the federal police said.

Let me read

I was expecting to here what the BASA deal was all about to make an informed judgement.

Ok. Abeg can't the state house get a more decent looking red carpet?

giantstrides:
You are very right, but the problem is not only Buhari's government, the past govts were also culpable in this same act, however considering buhari's stance on other security issues affecting the nation, he has been soft on this Fulani murderers.

I think the president will do something about this, some fulanis are menace, I don't think he will just order military against all of them he needs to locate and isolate the miscreants amongst them mostly migrants from war torn west African neighbours.

With the way the JTF has summarily dealt with cattle rustling fulanis in the north western and north central states, I believe even rampaging so called heardsmen will soon be 'squarely' dealt with.

If am not mistaken, the jibe was directed at pdp as a party and not gej admin in particular. That's why the time frame of the question was 10 years and not 6 years.

It is a mark of failure to need 16 years to complete road projects.

Thanks for your suggestions. Am in contact with both konga and the seller hope to resolve it soonest.

I bought a fake designer perfume over 30k on konga what do I do

They once questioned China for manipulating their currency. We know where that got China. China today is not just a net exporter but a mass exporter

That's a good quality of a leader take a stance and stand by it.

Obama did the same with his "socialist" health care reforms in his first term

MAN should realise that PMB is trying to optimise the utility of our current reserves subject to a constraint of falling oil prices and unlimited 'raw materials' to be put on that list. So my advice is this:


As unauthodox as it may seem this is a time for Nigeria to boost its local industries. This is like a protectionist regime imposed by the government for local manufacturing to take advantage of by governments refusial to devalue.

I was in kaduna yesterday and met with one of sokoto state government officials, he told me he was coming back from inoson motors HQ to discuss the possibility of supplying 800 sedans to the state government (and am very sure other states are looking towards that direction too).
My fear is does inoson motors have the capacity to service this sudden interest in their motors. So rather than MAN complain on government FX policies they should encourage their members to seize the opportunity. I expect inoson motors to drag CBN top officials to their plant - just like dangote did to his refinery - and secure commitment from the CBN to prioritise them if they choose to request FX for expansion of operations.

I read an article once in the Harvard business review about international businesses in China, the author was complaining about how it takes more than 6 months to obtain a 1 year business permit in China! (You think that was just because of bureaucracy? ). That was their government delibrately protecting local companies from foreign competitors. Little wonder Chinese companies are number 1 in all sector of their economy.

And those that feel devaluation provides some sort of silver bullet, if we devalue then what?

Devaluation is meant to reduce the pressure on governments scarce dollar reserves by freeing it up for "other purposes". But by banning non essential items (call controlled devaluation) government has effectively freed up FX for essential purpose or "other purposes" like importation of raw materials and spare parts for local manufacturing. So let's not get it twisted, devaluation of the naira won't bring down the price the perfume (Montale - black auod) I coughed out 39k naira to buy online to 19k naira.

Lets here your thoughts.

I think you r right. That's why I stated this on another thread:

I read rider on this forum that MAN (manufacturers association of Nigeria) saying many companies would close shop due to the FX policy of government. For me this is a misplaced statement from man.

I tell you nobody understand this more than us here in the north. Immagine we use to leave in perpetual fear of BH overrunning our cities after hearing their daredevil attacks and occupation of large cities like mubi, yola, etc massacre of over 2000 people in one swoop in baga town. We used to even go out of our houses with ablution (spiritual cleansed state) as Muslims just in case a bomb accidentally goes up were you happen to be passing. Every time my wife goes to the market I had to pray for her safe return. Not to speak of the endless check points and the holdup that go with it.

But now at least we move around here relatively safely, we sleep with our eyes shut, we now pray in peace and although we are not yet there I believe we are getting there. Fire on baba

Game on baby. The Tarmac would be my first point of call tommorow morning.

This article was written few months into the buhari first stint as military head of state. And we all agree that the general consensus is that if buhari had stayed longer then Nigeria would have been on an irreversible positive trajectory.

If anything this article should give us reassurance that buhari is strong willed, steady hands meticulous planner, this time with the international community at his side.

As impressed as I am with 'el-Jaks' new found Renaissance, I still believe his sudden u-turn and fast ascension up the buhari praise singing is surreal if not outright incredulous for us to safely believe. But then what do I know.

Using algebraic geometry should we assume stealing is <, = or > curruption, and if that be the case what coefficient should we use for change.

This is not the sardauna that was one of his chiefs somewhere in northern Nigeria. The sardauna's wife doesn't dress like that.

Nigeria was a functional federation prior to the Igbo led coup of the 60's with every region enjoying some degree of autonomy. The ironsi led administration unified the federating regions and called them a republic. All this while Biafra saw nothing wrong with this arrangement. Some few months down the line with the Igbo led administration ousted from the centre (they created) secession became the new mantra for the east.
The same thing played out in the last administration with the secessionist seeing nothing wrong with Nigeria while their cousin was at the helm, but as soon as there was a change the clamour began again. The whole world is watching you in 3D
