If APC is planning to turn this country into the APC version of the American Oligarch Slavery System that their citizens are currently chained to, it won't work.

garyaustin:
Taking action after the loan is obtained may not make sense. Learned SAN, I sincerely think a prohibitive injunction should be obtained before the loan is taken. Thanks Dear Learned one for all you are doing for Nigeria.

Yes exactly. I don't know why Falana is still talking about it. He should do it immediately.

Buharism:
Falana threatens to sue buhari.
Falana threatens to sue Osibanjo
Falana threatens to sue the FG.
Falana threatens to sue GEJ.
Falana threatens to sue EFCC.
Falana threatens to sue APC.
Falana threatens to sue NASS
Falana threatens to sue PDP
Falana threatens to sue EVERYBODY.
.
When will Falana stop threatening, and start sueing all this people,

No be honest, this one Falana is right. We cannot borrow from China. We do not want Chinese debt please. IMF debt has taken its tole.

He is right. My problem is not loan. My problem is, if we have recovered so much money, why not begin using that first before borrowing from china of all places. They are set to rule the world in a chinese dynasty fashion. Please where is the money Buhari collected from loots. Yes FALANA should go ahead. IstillStandWithBuhari, but this one is not right. We must know where the loot is and what will be done with it before we begin to borrow.

They should start producing the cement and building buildings with it let's see. Its not propaganda and talk. And I am not IPOB.

I understand you but u know Nigeria is a very peculiar country where there is nothing like patriotism, if it were to b in other countries, the citizenry wouldn't need to worry, cos they know their lawmakers mean well for their country.

True. I have said this so many times. No one listens to me. SCRAP NASS. They have no use. If they were useful, tell me why, whether or not the Lagos-Calabar railway was in the budget or not, the SS senators could not ensure that such a strategic route that is critical to development was not included in any final budget. So what they are saying they only accept what upper dogs say would be project. Is it not their jobs to know these things and if the presidency then refuses we the people can take a stance against them. But they are just a group of useless human beings with no goal in life but to steal and pocket.
Saraki, who is a PDP double-agent in NASS needs to go. Anywhere there is PDP, there is corruption. He needs to go.

shaddoww:
Omo no b play play ooo, but d man should know by now dat d national assembly isn't joking with him, so he should stop treating wit kid glove if he wants to succeed.

Buhari cannot intefere with NASS issues much. There is a limit to it. He can only refuse. He cant tell them what to do. Because in true terms, if NASS was actually real, it is supposed to be the voice of the people. So interference can lead to his impeachment. but NASS is useless that is why nobody will even support them. Buhari should flog all of them. It will make me happy.

And we are supposed to believe NASS?? How do we know it is not u pple lieing? After all it is their DNA. Na dem trademark.

grandstar:
Soludo, Sanusi and lately Utomi have all condemned Buhari's economic policies

Buharis an economic illiterate and that's why theres chronic dollar shortages that's ruining the economy

He also refused to adhere to sound economic advise by kachikwu to deregulate the fuel price plunging the country into this present nightmare

GEJ's government was steeped in. corruption but Buhari's is economic incompetence

Who is Soludo? Who is Sanusi? Those ones that were pasties for corruption and looting. Mstweeeeee..... Soludos economic policies on benefited those doing international trade while Sanusi's benefit the average Nigerian Capitalist/Business man wishing to minimize as much cost but make massive benefits. So forgive me if I choose to decline their perspective

francizy:
How much was budgeted for Agriculture? Compare that to the one budgeted for Liar MohamMAD's propaganda ministry. Do you even know that the budget for Information and Culture ministry is approximately equal to that of Agriculture and Mines and Steel combined?

You're talking about dependency on oil and the need to move away from oil, but failed to address the issue raised about Buhari's allocation for oil exploration in Lake Chad basin.

Lemme get this straight, Buhari wins election and power supply improved within two days of his getting into the position and y'all applauded him, claiming that his body language odour was responsible for the improved supply but then again power supply slumps (to an all time low even with 50% increase in tariff under Buhari) and you want to excuse him from the whole issue? Same you folks that blamed GEJ for virtually everything?

You can try again..

Ok so what do you want ot do now? Even if u bring in another person it is d same thing. So please carry ur IPOB hatred somewhere else plz.

francizy:
Keep fuel importation aside first. Now let's talk about the points I raised which you failed to address but rather chose to divert my attention to something else. What are Buhari's plans for economic diversification? Is it not the same commodity your talking about that Buhari allocated N39.4 billion for its exploration in the Lake Chad basin after all past government has tried and failed in that aspect?

Where is the power? Or is it not also Buhari's fault that we don't have power?

Why did Buhari budget so little in areas that needed much attention and that may enable us achieve diversification but budgets so much on irrelelvances?

Can a man who killed the our dreams in Ajaokuta Steel, in the 80s, be trusted to revive such a massive company with so much potentials?

Tackle my points and stop diverging bro..

Diversification of the economy is not going to happen over night. You can see how much they are investing in agriculture. Agriculture is a major selling point for African nations now because as the world runs out of food sources they hope African would feed them organic foods. So in about 4 years we should get it done.
On power I never believed our money should be wasted developing power production plants like we did in the past. Or trying to revive the old model of Nepa. We need to invest in clean energy. The way we currently produce electricity is not sustainable and not good for the environment in the long run. I honestly do not want Buhari to invest anything in this PHCN. It is a waste of time. We must now move forward and utilize our energy bases in the country. How is it his fault? I do not understand you. If the production of power is dependent on the production or supply of any oil by-product, then obviously we wont have power until the oil problem is solved.

We need to reduce our dependencies on oil AHHH. Oil for all the cars in Nigeria, Oil for power, Oil for production... there are better ways to do things.

francizy:
Lemme address your points one after the other:

Your number one shows you lack understanding and probably comprehension skills. You probably didn't see where I stated and with a link, that Buhari allocated N39.4 billion for oil exploration on the Lake Chad basin or you mischievously omitted it. Or was it PDP that forced Buhari to allocate such sum in this harsh economy with very low oil price? Wow! You need to sharpen your comprehension skills bro.

Your number two lacks substance and makes no sense because it doesn't relate to the topic and content of this thread in anyway. Can you for once grow pass this PDP-APC nonsense? I believe you're an adult, so try and reason like one.

On number three, what on earth is PMB doing? Taxing the masses to death and globetrotting while Nigerians live in darkness without fuel? If that is called working then sleeping all day is surely a hard work. Typical of zombified fellows. Check your replies and see that all it contains is hogwash and IPOB. Once again, grow up bro.

Number four shows total lack of understanding and empathy from you. Surely you're not abreast of the cries of the masses but you want it to seem like all is well when in all sincerity, the country is far worse than PMB met it.

Lastly, your comment is dumb and you're a typical case of pot calling plate black. You made no single sense and didn't even counter just one, I mean ONE of my points. You need to read up and learn bro. Peace.

Off cuz all is not well.. We know this. I am angry too. I have to wake up at 5 in abuja now to get to work early, bcoz u will not even find bus and taxis, dont bother. Sometimes I have to walk to Wuse before i get any hope of movement. I am boiling too.

But logically it is not Buhari's fault. We cannot be importing fuel when oil prices are this low. And given that oil prices have fallen, what we have or get from the oil, on which our economy is dependent must now be used wisely because we simply cannot afford to import all we used to import before.

It is simple really, you eat Mr Biggs everyday because u earn 100,000 monthly. One day computer replaces ur job role and u get demoted. Now u earn 50,000 a month. You must now begin to eat Mama put, live in a smaller house or borrow money to continue ur 100,000 lifestyle until u find a new job and payback. What u owe depends on how long it takes to find a new job. Or you can just suck it up, live at ur 50,000 standard and upgrade ur skills so u don not get kicked out again while u find a job.

the south south is a no go area for Biafrans, Am Akwa Ibom(yha the IPOBS would say am yoruba, same way they are saying the expunged #60bn rail contract was never there) keep deceiving yourself, we will never be Part of you, we have our own destinies and battles to fight, and not being used as pawns by a tribe that cares only for itself, and no other.

I am from benue state, shall we fight our battles together? I help u, u help me?

Some time i wonder if the people making these posts actually know how economies work? Prices have increased but rice is made internally. It means whatever diffenrence or profits is made from the sale of rice is reused (by the sellers of rice, farmers, whoever etc) within the country. It is called Wealth Creation. Spend Less, Do more, If it does not need to be foreign buy it local, make money outside and spend it within ur economy, don't make money and spend it outside the economy, that puts us in debt.

Yes true but the difference is now being made from people within the country. Not outsiers. Rather than nigeria paying subsidies for ur imports farm rice or drink garri. The production is low, thats all. When production goes mass it will be cheaper. If at the end we can at least achieve one thing in this country. No more rice importation. hopefully

bigerboy200:
They went to CCT with Saraki...

So it is more important to fight for the throne for Saraki than the progress of ur pple? SMH i dont even know why we have NASS. They are useless.

ogba20:
my brother the north owns this country and yet the 70% of our budget is being finance with the resources from the region(Niger delta).shame

The north does not own Nigeria. PDP politicians are just self-serving people. Who is allowing them own it? Is it not PDP govs and senators. As long as their own loot comes in North can do what they like..

tuale4u:
That is another way to look at it.

But i doubt that.

i just believe they didnt care

Mee too I fell they didn't just care. Niger Deltans. You pple's area is a stage of its own oo. You pple need Senators and Governors that care about the land and will help the indigenous people there. Stop voting party or tribal alliance. Look for young people that understand that place well and have felt that pain. Put then in govt. Have they paid u pple shell money?
Abi that one too naa talk talk no show?

tuale4u:
It is very pathetic and annoying that we have senators from Niger Delta and they allowed this injustice to be done to our region by thier Saraki loving senators.

We all know that almost all the senators from Niger Delta are PDP and are those who voted Saraki to be Senate president.

Yet this same senators could not fight for thier people to ensure a rail dat will benefit thier region is retained. They were asleep in the senate when Kano Senators ensured Lagos Kano rail is retained.

I weep for my senators and house of rep members. They are disgrace. They dont represent our people. They represent themselves. I am ashame of them.

You will be suprise many of them were not aware it was removed. Our Niger Delta Senators were busy flexing in Abuja, while nothern senators were busy working 4 thier people. Where was Senator Ben Bruce the twitter Senator? He needs to tweet about this.

PDP will never let u pple progress. I don't know if APC will o but PDP, naaaa

Vikings007:
That's the job of Your government.

Right. So all you know is a govt should come in, wave a magic wand and solve the problems over night. You don't want to know how it is done, it is not ur business it should just happen?

Vikings007:
You've seen that video where a Nigerian cab driver has some suicidal ideas? That's just a snapshot of how the ordinary Nigerian feels like. So is it when people start dying before the "economy will work"? With a litre of petrol going for N500 in some states? No jobs? No light? Absolutely nothing works?

Yes Nigeria needs a fix, but this govt is going bout it the WRONG way.

So suggestions. How should we go about it?

Vikings007:
Nigerians are suffering.

Yeah we know we are. I live here. So back to corruption then it is? Rather make the economy work, we should go back to corruption, imoortation of sub standard goods? Right?

ZombieNation:
Nothing dey clear eye pass hunger


Lolz.

Strong face no mean hard man most times nah symptoms of malnutrition.

IPOB/PDP loyalists. Rest. You people are not wining presidency in this country. APC has the North, APC has the Middle-belt already [this is regardless of what happens in 2019) the only people that really need convincing are the SS/West.

We know PDP is trying to strike up a North-East alliance for 2019.
Scenario 1:

Eastern President + Northern the Vice [Nigerians will not vote because we are scared they will break Nigeria up, only IPOB + some SS will vote]

Northern President + Eastern Vice [Maybe but IPOB will finally give their vote to almajiri , stain to their supremacist ego]

APC will get SS vote because Buhari is the only president showing any concern to making shell pay their sins in niger delta.

These are the only two alliances I can think off that PDP will have a chance in 2019. Please help. More...

Vikings007:
PDP is gradually taking over. I voted for APC in the last general election, but today I PROUDLY voted for PDP.

So back to corruption then.

I know you are an IPOB supporter so I will tell you. Nigerians do not let tribalism, nepotism, bigotry and hate becloud our judgement. We voted out PDP simply because PDP ruled this country for 16 years with nothing to show for it.

1) PDP drilled the lake chad basin. Not APC. Not Buhari.

2) PDP devalued our currency and the oil prices have fallen. I know in PDP rule, rather than do the right thing and restrict foreign currency in the economy, they would devalue our currency so they can spend more coz US and EU told them to.

3) Nigerians want people who put the interest of the nation first. Not state, tribe, religion or whatever. As long as it benefits some or all groups of Nigerians in some way b4 it benefits any outsider or personal self. Most Nigerians know (except IPOB of course) that what PMB is doing, is what should have been done a very long time ago. Although it is now taking too long.

4) Most importantly, we know that for a country to prosper, we have to make sacrifices. Nationalism means individual groups will not be happy, Individuals may not happy but the nation, as a complete whole is better off. This simple concept, PDP did not understand.

5) Lastly, I love igbo people, and I can only thank God that many Igbo people do not share this delusional IPOB mentality. Anyone who votes PDP is the one allowing tribalism, nepotism, bigotry and hate becloud their judgement. Because i cannot see how any Nigerian would want even another day of PDP rule.

IPOB, what is it naa? Leave PMB alone. Nigerians have a striving spirit. And that spirit will get us through this. Inevitably in 2019 the true APC would be revealed and we will then make a new decision. For now please leave PMB.

nkemdave:
I wonder why sum bunch of idiots are just there hailing and urging him to carry on?

Because we are not Igbos and we believe in Nigeria. It is our Nigeria and how ever it is, it is ours.

CHIJIOKE1314:
That is because Igbos are on serious campaign to disassociate theirselves from the rest of Nigeria..

So I guess they have been able to strike a cord and foreigner can now easily identify them anywhere..

Go online and see the massive campaign they are holding against anything NIGERIA, twitter,facebook etc

Guy it's massive.. .

They trash Nigeria from Morning till night non-stop..

They pick up any negative news and enlarge it for the international communities.. .

And they are getting serious attentions..

So it's not hard for foreign media to identify them this days..

I have heard they say they ready to serve "the white man" and that we should sell Nigeria back to the colonial masters and go back to slavery because they will handle it better. That we are zoo animals in here. SMH.

ChristineC:
this is to show the level of division if we can be easily sectioned tribally by a foreign press. if that report was about Ghana you will just see Ghanaians .....

we should just do the needful and move every man at his own pace! I don't care..

It is just the igbos that they do that for. Any other Nigerian in western press would have been written as "Nigerians" or "Nigerian". Truly.

CHIJIOKE1314:
Pls enough of this show..

All Nigerians and all human are unique in there own ways..

Please, this type of thing brings about jealousy and I think It's enough before pride sets in and destroy the Igbo race..

If it was true then jelousy would be an issue. But they are not better than anyone else they are just as good. They exceptionally brilliant Igbo people as there are exceptionally brilliant Yoruba, Igala, Hausa, Benin whatever people. It is so funny that the igbos are singled out in western media. If it was any other Nigerian, it would have just been Two Nigerians. But always refer to igbos as "Igbos from eastern NIgeria".

Hmmm How we go blame this one on PMB too?

holocron:
We must serve the white man until a time comes when we have learnt and mastered modern technology and science, and can build and manufacture machines and industries by ourselves.



Until then, false pride will not save the African. The sooner we start learning, the better. THAT IS THE REAL FIGHT!

NB: Pls Check your history, China was never colonized! And please, dont compare Africans to any other part of the world. We are in a league of our own.

You are igbo. I understand why u see urself as a slave. Well you can leave Nigeria and go to countries where they still "Serve the white man". Mali, Congo, Central Republic of Africa, South Africa. Those countries are still European Colonies.

So while the rest of us true Nigerians who know and believe in our true African Pride, fight for our freedoms to defeat the white man's propaganda of delusional supremacy on the world today, you and ur likes can move to those countries and live under the white man. For my Nigeria, it will be free. Its children & generations will be free from exploitation and oppression and our lands and resources would be ours.

There are a few african countries like i mentioned above that are still under colonial rule. You can go there. Don't let the South Africans hear you say this.
