People like you are the worst set of human beings ever created by God. The reason being that you defend every step of the person you support even when they're wrong. And when anyone criticizes his own preferred choice so as to make them perform better, you also see them as looking for cheap applause from sycophants like you.

Fyi, this govt is our govt. I mean it's the govt of those of us who believe in its ability to perform. And we have the duty to voice out our concerns when we see the need to do so. Criticizing PMB doesn't translate to regretting supporting him to be president. Should we need to do the last election again, between him and GEJ, we will still give PMB the mandate.

Get a life.

Bros, are you feeling guilty because i can't remember quoting u or mentioning your name.

Maybe u think i am a GEJite, check my posts, i can never part of this your wailer and zombie madness so channel your rants to your rival wailers, i don't have your time.

Some of you are now trying to form objectivity while you are part of why PMB is failing because you defend everyof policies.

Why didn't you people voice out initially, because things are not working, you want to form objectivity.

The greatest threat to PMB success is sychophants who would defend every of his wrong move but come back later to grade him low just to score cheap objective points.

That is why Nigeria remains backward. When u celebrate mediocrity, your standards becomes mediocre. Is there damn state in Nigeria worth celebrating? Certainly none except the organisers and people who find this interesting have not travelled out this country before.

The govenors should be told to go and transform thier states to world class standards not giving stupid awards.

omoboy88:
I agree but I do not beleive that these people are trully seeking the interests of their people but their own pockets. To me they are a different form of Boko haram. Thungs who were armed during elections and who have now masquerading under a "cause"

Yes, they are not seeking the interest of thier that i know afterall, the Asaris, Tomplolos, Atekes of this world are now billionaires through this means.

These guys are just capitalizing on the enemy in Abuja to enrich themselves but true federalism will expose them because their will be no Abuja or Nigeria to hold responsible. When other regions start prospering without oil, then they will learn not to sabotage themselves. They prosper and the rest of Nigeria prosper, win win for everybody then we all have peace for the first time in our lives.

omoboy88:
clueless government. You have made yourselves slaves to militants, giving them more money to arm themselves and blow up pipelines in future in case you decide to terminate them.

A proper government would take them out, irrespective of cost to economy or human rights noise. What they are doing amounts to treason. There is a reason why you don't negotiate or acquiesce to terrorists....you embolden and empower them and ensure their continuity and that you are always a slave to them.

The government is clueless but your approach is wrong. Will you be happy eating a blood money? For every soul u kill because of oil in the ND, you have created a cycle of hate and violence that your children will inherit.
I am not from ND but i believe that regionalism or true federalism is the only lasting solution. I don't believe that some parts of this country can't make it on thier own.
I wish our leaders will shun greed and restructure this country instead of playing to the gallery since our existence and passing this bullshit to our unborn children. No matter who is president, this country in this present structure will never move forward.

longayink:
But the militants want the oil wells back for proper bidding process, no more oil wells in the hands of people who confiscated the oil wells as war booties.

Militants say they want true and fiscal federalism restored to Nigeria., or at least, greater increase in the percentage for derivation.

Some of the militants even want Niger delta republic.

Some want release of President Buhari's political prisoners, Nnamdi Kanu and Ibrahim Dasuki.

So it's palliative giving mere contract to protect oil facilities.

With this short term solution, new militants must surely spring up tomorrow to ask for their own deal

PMB will be the best president nigeria will ever have if he leads this country into regionalism or true federalism. This is the only way to permanently stop this nonsense. This is what his supporters should be pushing him to do not defending him like lawyers that did not attend law school.

sammied:
you see.... other tribes are not as myopic as igbos...tribalism is the reason igbo have produced no quality leaders in Nigeria, the world is a global village, when you cannot easily relate and accept others, you automatically lose out... all the shout about been segregated in Nigeria by igbos... what has it produced? nothing!

most of this tribalistic igbos does not even know their village, if not for the open minded nature of other tribes accepting them into their lands they wouldn't have amount to anything....

the earlier igbos wake up from their tribalistic snoring sleep... the better for them....

Someone who reads your post would think that this kind of thing can't happen in youruba families. Would you swear with your life that every yoruba family will accept an igbo inlaw?
You people should learn to treat each case on its merit instead of capitalizing on it to generalize. Have you heard all stories involving inter tribal marriage?
Okay, will you say yorubas are tribalist since some yoruba landlords will never rent thier house to an igbo person? My friend, there is no perfect tribe. get that into your head.

Quakertellicus1:
But not high enough for

1.Russia who need it at 99USD.

2.Saudi who need it at 77USD.

3.Nigeria who needs it at 123 USD.

Let's face it....even without bombs galore.....Nigeria is being failed by oil.

Time we spent what little money we have on power and transport so that we can become Africa and the world's workshop...and later its industrial power.

Oil...and other forms of resource dependency ......only cause more burdens than blessings. See....everyone is fighting over the money from oil. When oil prices crash again tomorrow thanks to the development of new oil fields.....where would we be?

You are the only one who always talk in this line and i wish others are seeing it that way. But the truth is that we can't really diversify in this present state except we go regionalism and resource control. This will enable enable everybody to think and work hard to earn money. What we should be championing is structural change of this country and other things will fall in line.

godwinony:
I'd like to see Saudis coming to Nigeria to do their own wedding or whatever they do.

Na so bros. Nigerians have very low self esteem. We are the ones who will go to the foreign countries to buy houses, atttend thier school, go to their hospitals and these guys don't reciprocate. How will they respect us? Have u ever seen an American or european celeb galivant in Africa they way our own celebs do over there and flaunt it on social media? Some celebs go into debt just because they want to give birth to thier child in "America". We don't have pride at all.

Quakertellicus1:


Your comment made me laugh

But really, it is not just Igbos....it is NIGERIANS as a whole.

Check out many abandoned projects across the country.....including in areas where the son or daughter of the soil was in high office....and they usually end up as a conduit for said child of the soil to loot....and yet...when the chap is prosecuted....people will cry...Witch hunt.

In Northern Nigeria, some two years after his death....Abacha stickers were to be seen on cars and buses....even today. The same Abacha that looted 4bn naira from Nigeria...which includes those people saying...He is the greatest.

That is the problem with Nigeria. We are our pwn worst enemy. Prosecute someone who is from our tribe...for corruption....with the added benefit...that if such prosecution is successful....we would actually have space for non-corrupt leaders.....yet we will cry witchhunt.

Like those Niger Delta Avengers. Pipeline they know how to blow up.....but common agitation for better schools, clean government, etc....dem no know. Abi if una get resource control....na the same corrupt leaders wey you dey hail go come chop everything go by tomorrow.!

You are the only one who made sense here. I don't know when Nigerians will dump this toga of tribalism and face issues as they are. Even educated people still succumb to tribalism. There will be nothing ever debated on this forum without tribal battles. na waa ooo.

tweetsme:
Is it a crime for the naira to equal the dollar. Imf is just another weapon of modern day slavery on africans. They will not never want to devalue when face with currency difficulties but will rather stand on the official rate. Some african countries are so gullible to be used by the western nations to impoverish them. They will buy a lot form your country with a little thousands dollar compared to africans paying a lot for their goods. I hate imf.

My friend channel your hate to your present and past govt. You people always like to hold the man very far way from your shores accountable instead of your own govt who has the direct responsibility of making things better for you. Stay there the call IMF.

Young03:
ah u for tell us say na novel u write make we comot time read am



well both APC N PDP are shamless

Don't mind these idiots who call themselves APC n PDP supporters. I don't know what makes these 2 stupid group of people to think that each of them is better than the other. Remove them all from this country and watch this country move forward.

jerryunit48:
Cramjones i used to think that You were an APC sponsored blogger but I now know you are in the middle looking for the truth

That guy is not part of the so called zombies though he is an APC supporter. He is one guy that is not afraid to air his views even if it is against his party. And that is how it should be. The love for the president or party should not make someone swallow and support everything. Unfortunately majority of the party suporters on both sides are just trash.

NaijaTalkTown:
When Barrack Obomber vowed to pressurize Buhari into devaluing the Naira, how many people asked how he intended to pressurize the President? Well I guess Nigerians didn't ask why media outlets started attacking the president from all angles. The Fulani herdsmen were not actually herdsmen but terrorists trained and assisted by American government. In fact, some Nigeriens (not Nigerians) were caught in Agatu. They went to Agatu with helicopter to drop weapons and food items for the terrorists and they were caught by the Agatu people, tied up and killed. Their helicopter was burnt and the burnt helicopter is still in Agatu for confirmation purposes. The so-called Niger Delta Avengers are also trained and assisted by the US. If Buhari bows to these people, then I'll be disappointed in him. I am dissatisfied with the Nigerian Armed Forces and the DSS. The DSS has shown that it lacks the ability to gather good intelligence and nail internal threats right from their roots. If I were Mr. Buhari, I would have silently silenced a lot of people. I would also divert a lot of money meant for other projects into upgrading the DSS and the Armed Forces. I know all these are easier said than done especially in democracy but Nigeria's situation requires some iron fists.

Lol

nmreports:
This is the exact economics they are working with Nigerian oil.
Free market economy where stiff competition will drive price down.
This will also create jobs and sanitizer the petroleum industry.

We all know how it was when these network providers started.

Bros for the fact it worked in telecoms is not a guarantee that it work in petroleum sector. It can only work here if we produce our fuel here with so many private refineries. But if na dis import wey we de so, d cabals will win both ways.

Babacele:
until after 4 years of PMB 's repairing wetin una spoil.....anytime una dey talk now na from an insincere and unrepentant heart....so we should wished the wasted 16 years away? naaaa

The people who will kill PMB administration are the sycophants. Those will always leak his ass no matter what. That was how former zombies (PDP idiots) killed GEJ now these current zombies (APC idiots) have taken over.

If Buhari is wise, he should not listen to zombies here ooo. He should look for people who will always tell him tge truth else GEJ's case will be better than him at the end.

Stylz69:
The government never used the term deregulate. The fact is they have not deregulated. You cannot peg prices to a ceiling and say the market is deregulated. What if my costs exceed 145 naira. What if I decide I want to cater for cars that require premium high octane fuel which costs more. You then tell me I cannot sell more than 145 naira. Lastly, you do not increase prices when the product is still unavailable!!! You just put more money in the pockets of the black marketers.

Exactly what i was thinking. How can there be deregulation and the govt is still fixing prices? i don't just understand. Please anyone who understands should clarify.

omenka:
What do these guys know. They are just inconsolable Wailers. These same people that have been coming here to shout "we've been buying fuel at N400 a litre" are now making so much noise it would be sold at 145. What sense is there in their position?

The difference is that during that time, people can start forming queues from 12 midnight at NNPC to buy at N86 after spending 8 hours. You can call that "tough relief" but now even if you queue from yesterday at NNPC, it is now N145. Trust me, if NNPC sells at that price, other marketers will never sell less than N180. Do you get it?

allexy2:
If you a nigerian and your reading this saraki asset, you all should find it really and deeply insulting.

I mean, tell me how a man could own so much wealth and you tell me this are not money he stole from nigerians ?

Nigerians need to wake up ! This kind of people are the reason we are in this condition

There is no surprise here. this is all we already know. That is how they have raped this country to death. I can bet my left yans***h, there is nobody from the federal executive to federal legistators to state executives and state legislatures that is not worth up to 5 billion naira from stolen funds.

abumeinben:
For the first time, I must say the govt is serious.

Why?

Education budget!

I want to see foreigners back in our tertiary institutions.

I want to see Telecom coys, NCC, NNPC, PHCN, NIMET, Innoson vehicles, Ajaokuta Steel Company, Dangote Group....fall back to our tertiary institutions for research and development (R & D) projects.

I want to see Banks and other establishments run to various convocations just to select/employ the best graduates, like it used to be.

More must be pumped into education sector, it is the border into the REAL world.

God bless those that'll make this work.

Bros, don't raise your hope high ooo. Na naija we dey ooo. PDP = APC. No be today we don dey hear billions for budget ooo.

Dottore:
Well full deregulation means immediate hike in price and accompanying hardship for an average citizen but on the long run,

competition would make PMS to sell lower than present government approved pump price especially if more licenses to market petroleum products are issued to interest parties.

. My opinion though judging from what is seen amongst Telecommunications Operators

Bros, Telecom sector is far different from petroleum sector. This would have been a good idea in an ideal society but i tell now that this will not solve our problem.
This private sector cabal will still fix their prices from their union and there is nothing you can do, mark my words. is this not the Naija i know

Oga, you also budgeted 1 billion naira for feeding like your friend GEJ. You should have scrapped it and eat from your salary. Abi na free u dey work? Lol.

It is better to be silent, deliver the job and come out and brag instead of bragging before the job is done. I don't want to hear stories later ooo

Junior66:
Yesterday's crises made me aware of two things.
1. Most Igbos cannot differentiate between Hausa and Fulani people.
2. Most Igbos resident in Igbo land have the eroneous belief that all of us in the 19 "northern states" are "awusa" people whereas these peeps constitute less than 30% of our entire population.
3. To help u guys, there are no Hausas in the 6 north central states + Abuja.
4. You can also almost conveniently assume that the 6 north-eastern states (Taraba, Adamawa, Borno, Bauchi, Yobe, and Gombe have no indegenous "Awusa" people.
5. They are also minority ethnic groups in the Northwest e.g Kaduna, Kebbi, Jigawa.
We only speak Hausa language in general. Abeg before una go kill all of us make una know una enemies.

You are right. That is how the northerners assume non hausas are igbos when there own madness starts. When crisis starts in the north, igbos, yorubas, south south and others get killed because no time to different. In mile 12, some igbos were victims despite not being the target cos of this reason.
this is why i get worried about this cos it could concern you even when you think you are safe. War will always be a lose lose for everyone

VulgarVulvas:
You are describing your typical zombie self who wants to deny the obvious fact that they support blindly a sectional bigoted despot to lead them in the 21st century .


Why are you zombies such hypocrites?

Nobody is defending any one on that list. We are only warning you jealous lazy lynch mob of zombies to be wary of those behind the laks and their motives.


Don't be a slave

My friend go through my posts. I'm not part of these your zombie wailer nonsense you guys display on this forum. You guys should learn to be independent minded so that you can judge issues individually based on its own merit and not based on scripted mindset.
By labelling me a zombie even when you don't know what i stand for has unconfirmed" my assertion otherwise you should have analyzed the issue on its own merit instead of this carpet assumption.

stop being stewpyddd and read more , you'll see it's all over the world

I just wish i could ban moroons like you from every internet related comments or activites , you people are too duumb for reasoning , you don't know anything , but you claim to be the wisest

Don't be surprised bros. Nigerians are one of the most scripted people you can find. Once they are wired to believe something, it doesn't matter the evidence before them, they must go with thier belief. This is why when they hate you, even if you save them from death, they will still hate but when they love you, even if you rape their wife, they will find an excuse for u and keeping loving you.

I'm beginning to suspect premium times. Why announce thier intention instead of taking everybody by surprise and release. People involved will likely start cutting deals to get thier names off and i think that is what they want to achieve.

They should better not shield anybody cos there will be more pressure on them after this announcement. I know our people.

@Op,
there will always be an element of risk in whatever we do. Whether you stay or go for your masters, your future is not guaranteed.
This is why you must follow your heart and pursue what makes you happy and fulfilled.
I had to leave a mega paying job for an uncertain terrain because that was where my heart is. Despite making less money than before, i have been living the best life i have ever wanted to the extent that i no longer remember i make less money.
Check yourself properly and know where your happiness lies for there is no guarantees anywhere.

Flexskillz:
A lot of people don't read a post before commenting. What position where we last year before PMB took over? What was it 2-3years ago? IMF loan has nothing to do with it. All the indices used in measuring are very valid and are thing that you and I know.
How will businesses thrive where there is no power, no good road network and harsh govt policies. Hw many people can secure a loan easily?
Things are worse now! But the situation can still be salvaged. God bless the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Bros you even get time to educate these guys. Sometimes it's better to keep quiet and allow them to wallow in thier stupidity. Before you say jack, it will turn to wailer vs zombie fight.

SmithHumble50:
What happens to wishing ur wife a lovely message at home?

why bring it to social media

Don't mind them. They will not keep their private lives out of the social media now until when it backfires. Who cares if his wife is an angel? Have you ever seen Olu Jacobs talking about his family on social media?
This " by chance celebs" will not learn from successful older ones.

ijustdey:
but most if not all the ministerial appointing are made men nah.....


why can't they use their Abuja homes as their accommodation since the money they are asking for for decent accommodation isn't forte coming....

Don't mind them. People decieving People. Anyway they know the kind of people that they can decieve. Landlord dey find accommodation. mtsheww

Allwility:
Abati?

Ruben Abati has found his voice just as Omojuwa has lost his. Why didn't Ruben write all this jabberwocky he calls satire when ASUU went on strike under his watch? Why didn't he say something when Dasuki was busy dasukking our national moi moi? I respect people who can call a spade a spade and not some digging instrument.

My brother na so. Nigerian elites and politicians lack integrity. Integrity demands you stand for the truth across board even if it means quitting the govt you serve. Integrity means you should be bold and fearless to stand for what is right. But our politicians will keep thier integrity in thier bag and close thier. eyes to the obvious wrongs in thier domain and when they are out of office, they now start forming patriotic.

Some of these current ones will not stand up for what is right and make thier voices heard now. They will be covering up the wrongs now but when they are out, they start forming good guys. Anyway who even take them serious sef.

omenka:
@Noethnicity: Dude I understand your points perfectly but I think there is a dark side of this whole stuff which the public isn't yet aware of.

I am half Middle Belt and half South South and insist there are some elements trying desperately to derail this government, leveraging on the Fulani attacks to achieve that goal simply because:

1. They are terrified if measures are not taken and the government sustains it's anticorruption drive, it would be just a matter of time before they get caught up in the dragnet.

2. Some people had put all their eggs in one basket and lost them woefully with the outcome of the election. They feel the best way to have at least a foot in the corridor of power is to create such massive chaos the government would have no choice but to invite them to dinner.

3. Some people are simply ethnoreligious bigots and sadists and can't live with the fact that a Fulani Muslim is ruling them against all odds.

Now, are these attacks new? The answer is NO.

Are they just becoming more prevalent in the South (as you said) under the current govt? The answer is also NO.

Are all herdsmen killers? NO.

Are some herdsmen killers?? Absolutely.

Are all herdsmen Fulanis? NO!!

Now, have you wondered why in all these melee one word that has been featuring prominently is "Fulani Herdsmen". The video allegedly showing some armed men crossing a river in Benue state featured NO cow, yet people tagged them "Fulani herdsmen"!! Don't you wonder why?? How can you be sure some people didn't commission some idi¤ts to carry out these attacks??

Lastly ask yourself this: why is it so damn difficult for some people to imagine for a split second Southerners are themselves responsible for these just to taint the president when they insisted in the preceding admin that Northerners are the ones sponsoring the killings of their own brothers just to taint Jonathan??

There are soooo many things I'd like to say about this, perhaps on a dedicated thread but I've yet to find the strength in my fingers. I think there are things we don't know yet.

During GEJ tenure, he supporters were always talking of his enemies making the country ungovernable for him. Instead of him to man up and perform, he was seeing enemies and haters.
You guys are now doing the same thing. Instead u guys to critical and ruthless on performance, you guys are looking for region or haters who don't like him him to succeed.
Listen, there is no where in the world where any leader is uniamously loved in a democracy. There must be haters. Go to American foums. In fact, a leader will likely perform less if he is well loved.
So whether some region or people hate him or wants him to fail, it shouldn't be our business. what we want is clear results. so the earlier you supportes push for good governance, the better instead of always looking for enemies and haters else he will fail like his friend GEJ.
