PassingShot: See Atikulooted brains wailing away their life.
All elections lost by PDP are not credible except if and when they win.
PMB is on course for a landslide. Atiku is not a match at all. He can't even defeat anyone Baba Buhari raises his hands in any election.
All I see here is a party (APC ) that,s desperate, insecure and jittery. Very unsure of what could happen in 2019 due to the emergence of Atiku, hence they resorted to their usual way of name calling, abuses, threats and propagandas.
If I may ask, u people branded Atiku as thief , what did he steal ? where was he convicted of stealing and corruption ?
Until u are able to provide evidences for this, then u are as dishonest as Mr lie Mohammed !!!
Meanwhile, I'm not a fan of any politicians, all I want is that Mr failure, Bigoted lifeless, fanatic, incompetent, herdsman and poverty must leave aso rock and go back to daura 2019. And that is the project that must be completed !!!
Even if it's a goat that replaces him, so be it !!!
FarahAideed: Just last week this same govt and Miyetti Allah released separate statement saying those terrorists were just herdsmen from Mali and nobody should disturb them despite evidence that they had seized many communities in 2 local govts of Sokoto and forcing them to pay tax ...The truth is that while Buharis poor policies are chasing away foriegn investment they are also attracting terrorists from all over Africa ..Every sane Nigerian needs to resolve at this moment that Buhari must be sent packing or terrorist will eventually send Nigerians packing !!!!!! Nigeria has never had it this bad
The body claimed that 2,075 persons were killed in the clashes in 2018 alone. According to the report, the Federal Government failed in “fulfilling its constitutional responsibility of protection of lives and property by refusing to investigate, arrest and prosecute perpetrators of attacks”.
It's starting to appear that Nigerians are the most gullible people on earth, regardless of how smart we are. The missionary system really worked here. India and China dumped the imposed religion, and I think very soon they too will start owning us (They are almost there).
Did you know? Only 2% of Israelis believe in Christianity - That is, only 180,000 people. The rest of them are Jews (74%) and Muslims (22%) and they laugh and joke about that fact that Jesus story was fictional - more or less like Guru Maharaji to them.
And here we are in Nigeria stumping our feet and calling ourselves sons and daughters of Israel! Really?
bantudra: and why are you people moving so much around that nasty festivity....??...cant you stay were you are and celebrate that demonic bullshitt....??
[b]This was December 22, 2018 This is even as the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR, in an unscheduled visit, forced some filling stations hoarding petrol in Lagos, to dispense the product. The filling stations included MRS, Oando, Ascon, Conoil and Mobil at Ebute Metta Baru said: “But we swiftly swung into action by doubling our supply nationwide. At the time the rumour started, we had about 30 day sufficiency. The normal daily supply to the nation is 700 trucks, equaling about 27 million to 30 million litres per day.” The NNPC boss, who was quoted in a statement in Abuja, disclosed that the hike in the product supply became necessary after the current hiccup in fuel supply was noticed a few days back, adding that these measures would ensure that the fuel crisis comes to an end this week. According to the statement, Mr. Maikanti Baru, disclosed this shortly before the signing ceremony of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, between the Corporation and the Benue State Government on the Agasha-Guma Bio-fuels Projects, in Abuja. The biofuels project is expected to create one million direct and indirect jobs for Nigerians on completion and would also produce about 84 million litres of fuel ethanol annually. The NNPC said that it plans to mobilize to site by the first quarter of 2018. Baru blamed the current fuel crisis on the rumour about a planned increase in the price of petrol, which made some unscrupulous marketers, wanting to cash in on the situation, to suddenly start hoarding products. Baru noted that the NNPC had enough products sufficiency that will last up to 30 days, adding that at least a billion litre petrol laden cargoes were heading to Nigeria shores at the end of December, which would return the country to a 30-day-plus sufficiency. Crude oil sales automation Speaking on the automation of its crude oil sales processes, Group General Manager, Crude Oil Marketing Division of the NNPC, Mr. Mele Kyari, stated that the automation exercise which would be concluded in 2018 had enabled the corporation to achieve an end-to-end monitoring of every barrel of crude oil sold in the country. “Today at a click of a button we can tell you how much crude oil is sold, at what price, who bought it and where it has gone to among others,” he explained.[/b]
There was fuel scarcity last year...Only if you are not honest to your self and in the days of GEJ no in December, until sabotage crept in.
asuustrike1: An average man is selfish. He thinks of himself and by extension his family. When you see a person clamouring for a change, watch it because it might have an ulterior motive behind it. Yes Muric might have raised an alarm concerning shortage of petroleum motor spirit, they did that to avoid scarcity of petrol that lingered for long last year yuletide season.However what op raised is the ulterior motive behind it. According to him, the motive behind this is religiously and politically related. Religiously because it involves a religious body, politically because elections are fast approaching. Just the way CAN were in support of Jonathan is same way Muric is to PMB. Their body language and communication says it all. These religious body ought to advice the government instead of meddling in the affairs of government. A religious leader stands in between the government and the masses and takes no side when certain things are made. In fact they shouldn't endorse any political office holders like we see these days. Their job is basically to correct and rebuke erring politicians that do not perform well not going to Aso rock to share money and snap pictures. It doesn't mean they can't visit state house if the need arise but they must be focus.
Wow !!!
Thank you sir/ma !
You are one of the few who understand the purpose for creating this thread !!!
CLIQBOY: Can you please explain the quoted post for me?
Where was he last year?? Is he the one in charge of petroleum supply??
Nigeria is the only country on earth where they use questions to answer questions ?
Now, I ask you the same question again, where was he ( Muric chairman last year ) that he didn't raise such an alarm when people were suffering bcs of fuel crisis ?
And remember, when he raised the alarm, he tried to connect it to 2019 elections. And if he hadn't done so I wouldn't have referred to him in my post .
helinues: From now till February, we should be expecting JACKIE work from FG. As the election is around the corner, they will do all they can to avoid fuel crisis this year. FG had already agreed to pay part of the subsidy payment on Dec 14th or so
Just for elections sake ?
And after the elections, the struggle continues !!!
A few weeks ago, the the chairman of MURIC Prof Ishiak Oloyede raised an alarm over "a plan by some people to create an artificial fuel scarcity this December and asked the FG to do all it can in its power to stop it, most especially as the 2019 elections draw near.
If you cast your mind back to what happened last year and year before, about the painful experience the Nigerians passed through due to fuel scarcity and unavailability of cash in banks, which looked like, "a deliberate attempt to frustrate people's movements with Christmas and new year celebration. ( My Opinion Though ).
For some years now this has been the case, we always have if tough most especially, during Christian festive periods. But I'm surprised that this year, we're almost cruising to the Christmas and new year celebration without any of these itches. Could my assumption up there be right that these problems are man made, and religious-politically motivated ?
Now, take a look at the man who first raised the alarm, MURIC Chairman/President, where was he last year when people had to pay through their nose in order for them to travel for Christmas and new year celebration , while some couldn't even make it due to unaffordable transport fair bcs of fuel scarcity ?
But this year reverse seems to be the case as Christmas is almost here, no fuel scarcity, no cash shortage in banks, everything seems to be going on smoothly bearing any last minute changes which I doubt bcs of 2019 elections are around the corner.
So Nairalanders, your observations, opinions are welcome.
Speaking with DAILY POST on Sunday, the National President of AYCF, Yerima Shettima said Mrs Buhari’s claim was an indication that Nigerians should vote out the current All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government.
" Aisha Buhari actually has a clue. If you have a wife and she comes out to say you committed this, it means she knows what she’s saying because nobody could have come out to speak more than Aisha Buhari. And nobody could have just come out to dispute her claims.
It baffles me with all these revelations and claims against this regime how, some so called Zombies still clamor for the reelection of this good for noting Buhari's led APC govt.
Anyways, all Zombies are demonically demonic !!!
All it takes is, support Buhari and lose your sense of reasoning !!!
Then you will be possessed with the spirit of lies, deception, treats and propaganda !!!
luckyz4rea: As if you knew. When we talk of excellence, this is when it should be seen all the more!
Employ more hands and plans on who is responsible for what should already have been made. The people bring the results are not going by road because i am not in support if they go by road.
Can't we just learn excellence from these white contries that we steal and run to?
They actually know what's right but, they won't do it.
Doing the right thing will not allow them to do the wuruwuru they intend to do for their pay master.
I can't imagine us still doing things analogue way in this technology age !!!
don4real18: FIFA is a fraud jawe... I wonder why we have the NFF sef. Other countries football association lobbies FIFA for the rating of their team but the officials we have are just a bunch of people with pea-sized brains who only care about money. It is even expected of them to release a press conference on our recent rating even with our achievements let the world union of journalists waddle into the matter but no, the only thing on their mind is money
Maybe this our new oyinbo coach has to see this to know he hasn't done anything special for the super falcons , so that he may make his sit belt tighter.
