Lol, u are very funny, we are still recovering abacha loot, harliburten saga is still on obasanjo's neck, so i still wonder the evidence you are looking for. As for Gej, he is corrupt like every other Nigerian past leaders, so I dnt support any politician bcs they are all criminals. And for you to single him out from the bunch of criminals that has plung this county into the mess we are today is an act of stupidity. Be it a governor or president they are all criminals and I dnt support any of them. Amaechi is corrupt so as PMB like wise Gej, so let be sincere to our selves. Nigerian problem today is not our leaders rather our youths like you who have foolishly allow these old greedy mofos to deceive us with crumbs that fell off there dinning tables. Am not surprised bcs you are paid to defend your master at all cost.

Reading ur first few words and am confronted with a fellow that comes up short on conprehension.

Sorry, I never knew i was unto one of those fellas around here who can't engage in a civil conversation without peddling slurs!

Wow...too bad..I overestimated ur I.Q!
Am done with you!

heres 2 different scenario, the then chairman of NGF dragged the FG to court for her refusal to empty the foreign reserve. let me tell you the truth, the buharicomics will only have negative impact on common & its already affecting us. go to the market to know the prices of things.

It was NOT FOREIGN RESERVE Mr, but the EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT which was a JOINT ACCOUNT between the fed and state govt....why was oshiomole confidently callin Iweala out. So please answer the simple question since i have clarified this grey areas for you.

Concerning what u hv conveniently termed Buharinomics which is a global problem having a painful local dimension.

The same question that applies to the initial source of discourse applies here.

"What precipitated this economic crunch that we are experiencing now?

Nigerians can shout themselves hoarse when consequences start to rear their ugly head but dnt want the cause to be mentioned!

We are only reaping the harvest of our past actions or inactions i.e the actions or inactions of govt!

A govt that depleted the foreign reserve in a time of oil sale surplus without anything tangible to show for it...

A govt where revelations of mass unconscionable looting are revealed by the second...

A govt that was sharing dollars like pure water...

Atleast Iweala was truthful enough to warn us about what we are a facing now as far back as NOVEMBER 2014 but what dd that same govt do about it?

Just imagine if the BUFFERS were put in place by the previous govt.

Now we expect magic to be done..Face it or leave it....In the SHORT TERM, anything outside this "BUHARINOMICS" will spell doom for us.

Fiscal policies take time to mature

You dnt want to imagine our economy with a currency devalued too soon.

godoluwa:
you mean 2 wrongs equal to a right? smh, btw stop using analog phone

Rily? Two wrongs? Like Alibaba said issues like this hit the raw nerve in us when it is personalised.

Simple question: For peace to reign, what will you do if you find your wife making unexplainable withdrawals from your joint account?

Please give an honest answer!

mightyokwy:
And what exactly did the state government achieved with their own share. You guys shld stop blame Gej for every thing that went wrong with Nigeria. There are others who are more corrupt than him but you guys don't mention their names.

Its only for some very few that this ur kind of flawed logic "sells"....d logic of "I am not the only one that stole o". You immediately become culpable when u peddle such gibberish and u are left to provide proof of the corruption of ur co-travellers

There was no where in our constitution where governors are compelled to keep their statutory share with the federal but they agreed in the first instance.

What precipitated this sharing? This is the basic question that should be asked.

What do u expect the govs to do when they discover that the fed govt was unilaterally makin withdrawals from a joint account.

The depletion of our FOREIGN RESERVE talk less of the ECA by the FEDERAL GOVT in a time of oil boom should suffice in this matter.
https://www.nairaland.com/1985177/external-reserve-debt-under-obasanjo
Did the state governors also force the govt to drain the reserve?

Ok what was done with the money from the reserves in a time of huge oil sales? Dnt forget that he borrowed to pay salaries. If this makes sense to you, then I cant help u.

Folks like u hate to hear GEJs name been mentioned at every turn...I guess u have forgotten that the buck stops at his table!

If the Amaechi name that folks like the OP keep shouting from leaking roofs cant expose him now, I dnt kno what Wike is waiting for to take Amaechi to court with the evidence he says he has. Or hasnt Amaechi asked to be taken to court instead of engagin in "media trial"-what folks like u have coined in cases u r sympathetic to.

Before shouting that wasn't a petition submitted to the EFCC, consider this, wont it be worth the while of Wike and the opposition to conclusively prove their case in court jst like wike dd at the supreme court. The EFCC is not the only route!

Do u kno what that does?

It kills Amaechi politically and exposes the much touted fight against corruption by this govt as duplicitous and selective.

The case of Ibori comes to mind-remembr he was giving a clean bill of health by our judiciary but was convicted for the same offence outside our shores. If the EFCC say he is clean, let Wike go to the courts and prove his allegations.

PMB has 4 years to prove himself or he gets the GEJ treatment- and yes, his name will be peddled jst d way Jonathan's is if he fails....for now sorry, gejs govt remains synonymous with flagrant heist.

Kill one bokoharam member, take pictures and video it


Loose 150 soldiers to bokoharam, deny vehemently that it ever happened

Zombie soldiers

Son Please answer this question....How come Bokoharam ddnt gloat/celebrate over the death of 105 soldiers with pix and video evidence all this while? You become suspect if you cant give a satisfactory answer to this simple question!

Iroh88:
This is going to be interesting.

I give it to PT, most of what is captured here are totally unjustifiable, especially under the current economic realities. Some of these items have lifespans of over 10years so I just don't understand why it has become a norm for our leaders to keep proposing expenditures on these items in every budget! Take car jacks, caution triangles, and kitchen utensils for instance. I criticised Jonathan's government for this and surely find it unacceptable it is repeating itself under this government.

Kudos to our press for being steadfast in their duty. This is the sort of "opposition" we need and not one that is bent on pulling down the government at all cost, criticising in a manner that suggest an emotional breakdown.

I hope these anomalies are brought to Baba's notice. It would be VERY unfair to the good people of Nigeria, especially Baba's fervent supporters like my humble self to have the budget passed without reviewing these expenditures.

Anything outside what you have posited wont make sense!

Tallesty1:
Been following your convo with this guy and it is a good thing you admitted that there was, still is a reason for the perceived hatred.

That's all I will say there.

@Emboldened. It is very difficult, if not impossible to forget when people like obj keeps reminding you about the past.

This doesn't mean that I have a thing against yorubas, I just stated a fact.

As much as I see reason in the fact u stated, I also believe that within this union the hatred is mutual but other tribes seemed to have moved on and consolidated their hold except the igbos! Still a very salient question comes to mind. How has this hatred helped the igbos within this entity called Nigeria?

Personally, I believe the first freedom the igbos need is the "freedom from that hatred" before agitating for independence because other tribes when it comes to issues of interest, they put interest first even if it means joining forces with other tribes who they do not share the same interests initially!

There was no need for enabling law to back the conference, what was needed was to turn the report of the conference which everyone agreed on into a law.

Did the APC at any point in their campaign promise that?

Did u actually say there was no need for an enabling law to back the National Conference and its recommendation?

Rily? That's an eggregious blunder and u jst nonsense of all your argument!

Why do u think all other "National Conferences" before this were not implemented?

The same devil of the FORCE OF LAW! The same that applies with the use of our card readers in our elections

With the way our National Assembly is presently constituted, believe it or not, even if GEJ was president, it wont sail through. You dnt believe me? The PIB shd suffice...heed the wise words of obailala and doctokwus!

I see u harping on and on about this National Conference Recommendation as if this was the only "National Conference" we have had and even attempting to make it about ur tribe as if other tribes ddnt make submissions.

Why were others not passed? The same devil that bedeviled those other ones is the same that is goin to choke this one to death! Yes, it has no force of law and an illegality cant be used to enforce legality!

The fact that a conference wad convened with executive fiat was over-reaching on the part of the executive!

Believe it or not, even if GEj was there, that conference wdnt be implemented with the way the way our National Asembly is presently constituted!

thank GOD Buhari is not the president of Russia or America if not the whole world would have started fighting WW3 thanks to baba for saying the truth instead of him to be diplomatic




do you know that his statement can send investors away ?

do you know that millions of nigerians staying in those countries stand a chance to be sack ?

keep investors away? Sack Nigerians? Lol...dnt make me laf! Hardworking and honest Nigerians wl get and retain jobs anywhere because they are smart enof to recognise our ingenuity.

How come the investors who have BETTER intel about us are still trooping in?

Mister there is nothing that PMB said that this foreigners dnt kno...stop decieving urself.... If there wasnt a pronblem how come the late Dora Akunyili wanted to rebrand Nigeria. Oh because PMB said in the open what we say about ourselves in hushed tones....u r now forming hashtag abi?

Obama spoke the hard truth to the black community about the criminality among them and they called him a sell out...but it ddnt change the fact that statistics were out there!

Mister if only world leaders will learn to say the truth we wont have the global conflicts we see around the world.

Why dd Russia come into Syrian conflict?

The first place to finding solutions to our issues is to say them the way they are without garnishing it!

most terrorist are from syria but do you see Syria president shouting that all Syrians are terrorist ?





op you are a criminal not me :- \

And since the Syrian president ddnt say that "most terrorists are syrians" as you have assumed, does that negate the fact that "you know that most syrians are terrorist", right?

How dd u reach that conclusion if I may ask? World media, rigtht?

The same world media sees most of us as criminals and the sooner we face the truth the better for us.

You can tattoo that hashtag on ur forehead if u like but go to foreign embassies and you wl understand what PMB is saying or even go abroad!

Political correctness wont get us anywhere mister!

#The truth is bitter

Nigerians abroad need to change that narrative .....

I stand with PMB cos he shoots without blinking!

TheArchangel:
You can't help stringing Igbos in. Isn't it getting too obsessional for you that Igbos had to be your yardstick of measurement every single m'fucking day of your life?

As much as i dnt support racial stereotyping but the unfortunate fact that stares in the face is that some of ur folks wd have been up in arms right now if Saraki/Dasuki was of ur stock. Like I said this is unfortunate!

We are stared with this danger of a single narrative where a vocal few who support criminality have overshadowed the voices of the many who are objective enough to see issues beyond supposed "persecution" but have chosen to be quiet!

That's d narrative ur stock needs to counter!

@virginfinder u jst got whipped for a "yoruba" boy who thinks he can whip up sentiments for a fellow who has case to answer.

The yorubas jst proved to u even with such a "small" platform like nairaland that they dnt support nonsense.

Take ur BS somwia...ur shenanigan is DOA!

Wow..congrats Berem...I celebrate u and the new baby!

With those crispy clear eyes....ur pikin dey c road....we cant wait to have him onboard to do worse damage than u do around here!

OLADD:
When will the same Tinubu and his media consortium (The Nation, TV Continental, Radio Continental etc) issue public apology to Jonathan and his family for the damaging and abusive stories made against them before the elections?

This is a country where evil is celebrated than good. Bola Tinubu, enjoy your political manipulations while it last. Every Lagosian can attest to the veracity of all the facts contained in that AIT documentary.

Oga instead of shouting urself hoarse in here....tell GEJ to take Tinubu to court and lets watch how it ends. Simple!

Wisdomkosi:
how many apc members have effc arrested since the fight against corruption started? Or APC members are all Saints. I'm neutral, I'm neither PDP nor apc but truth must be told.

Mr. Neutral, ppl like u never cease to amuse us wt ds stale gibberish over and again!

An APC member, a close pal of PMB was arested. wasnt he, and he cooperated without gra gra. The PDP folks prefer strong hand and that they will get.

If only ppl from the south were indicted, i trust ur fellow neutral cotravellers to cry fowl. Since its not, u r now seeing it along party lines.

The hardship in the land caused by a handful is felt by the N.E.W.S, APC/PDP etc.

So mr man chill and let the books be opened. You might be shocked who will be indicted when other books are opened!

Aspireahead:
you people said she started the 'rumour'...and she didn't...Premium times did a followup to their initial piece and stood on their ground...what do u need again?

Mr, maybe u shd go single out those who said she started the rumour (and not 'rumour') because I didnt!

What I remember making a passing comment on her insistence that it was a fact that 105 of our soldiers were missing or dead was that she said she got her own insider confirmation (go look for her words) and she kept gloating over it!

My grouse with her was not that Premium Times peddled a rumour but that she got her own insider confirmation of the story which I kno was a blatant lie. I know because I have family, friends and soldier friends who are in maiduguri right now.

Hope u get my position! Amdone with this!

@mzmycoli

True is:

The precedence you have set would not in anyway make the neutrals like me take you seriously. I understand that the media have a status conferral system which you may be trying to tap into. That's good for you.

However, the ethnic and sentimental kind of politics you play here on Nairaland has put a lie to all the things you wrote up there. Maybe there is a chance you have repented and want to criticise as a patriot - but that remains to be seen.

Trust me, a lot of people: the not so popular Nairaland people, are watching what plays out here. And when you try to go public and bring your opinions to the 'real life arena' we will judge you by your actions here.

Hopefully you have repented and now truly a patriot. Time will tell.

Have a good one.

Couldnt have said it any better!

Aspireahead:
come..na she get premiumtimes?

Go back and read her words if she hasnt deleted it.

If she was ONLY quoting Premiumtimes I wont say a thing but she kept on telling us she got the CONFIRMED info from her soldier friend with those gruesome pics to boot and wouldnt let it rest even when she was told otherwise. She said she was seeking justice for the families of the soldiers
Now she and you folks pray we dont talk about it!

Oga am just harping on this so she knows we dont forget!

If mizmycoli has turned a new leaf...I wish her well in her new found adventure!

asEdeyHOT:
OP

I'm very interested if you addressed your claim that 105 soldiers are missing.

Last year the OP was the one that started the fake rumour that 105 soldiers died. She even went to the extent of lying that she spoke to her soldier friend who confirmed it. Such a very bad liar.


Any further developments?

Did you address this issue?

Seriously, reading Mizmycoli gloat over the "missing/dead" 105 soldiers that even Boko Haram said nothing about even till this very moment clearly exposed her underbelly and wittingly or unwittingly she became a bokoharam sympathizer. Now she wants us to believe the contrary! She wont respond to this and it eats at her that we keep asking her this question anytime she pops her beautiful face around here. Anyway, her minions are doing her dirty job in the hope that we would forget and move on.

Coli ur words are as transparent as a restaurant curtain!

GreatAgb:
I asked you a simple question, what buffers have the present team put in place?

She said 2 key things

1. Block revenue leakages

2. Introduce economic buffers into the budget to cushion the effects.

So answer my question

[quote author=GreatAgb post=42424082]Son,Its obvious you dnt know what "Buffer" means? A simple google search would have said u ds embarrasment of asking which buffer this govt has put in place!

In ds case, a buffer wd b a measure put in place BEFORE an occurrence.

Which buffer do u expect the govt to put in place when we are in the heat of the downward trend in oil prices?

As at Nov. 2014 till when gej crew was chased out no buffer was put in place, now in 2016 u are askin what this govt is doing abt it.

Askin for buffers now is akin to askin us to fill up sandbags AFTER the impact of a tsunami!

At a time like this a ROBUST FOREIGN RESERVE wd have been a good buffer as it wl reduce pressure on our currency and we wont b witnessin ds naira free fall!
This was depleted at a time of Oil surplus by the same folks that were shoutin buffer!


At a time like this a healthy EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT cd have been a buffer as this govt cd have tapped into it to ease pressure on its fiscal obligations. Ur hero and his band of thieves did same as above!

At a time like this even a DIVERSIFIED ECONOMY even at its infancy wd have gone a long way in cushioning the effect of this economic hardship because it wl have brought FOREIGN EXCHANGE no matter how minimal. We had the funds then to kickstart a diversified economy.

At a time like this a 40 percent (yes, jst 40 percennt) corruption-free MDAs of govt wd have enabled us to ride through this storm without much of the hue and cries now.

Going by recent revelations of how some people in last administration turned Nigeria to a free chop restaurant, contributing to an already festering cancer, it becomes obvious why they cant have simple initiatives to put buffers in place.

I dnt see u asking about plugging leakages cos its no longer propaganda as ur co-travellers wl sy!

Dnt ask for "buffers" now, cos this govt in the SHORT TERM can only hand out "life jackets" (bail outs, low interest loans etc) until we ride past the eye of the storm!

Jengem:
When is the appropriate time

When EFCC arrests you?

Mr. Man abeg talk with sense

He is sounding like that COZA pastor that said they will give a "ROBUST" response in the appropriate and uptil this morning we havnt heard anythin of that sort..

Back to the matter

He shd better talk o before all his minions form beard gang for prison!

Hmmm bare bone facts...This is getting interesting...falana aint letting go-vice grip!

[quote author=Gentlesniper post=42350909][/quote]Chief?..lol
If that profile pic is you...then my respect for u jst grew in leaps and bounds....

Gentlesniper:
lol, I am a real supporter of PMB but there are certain things that are just impossible in the Nigerian context, and going after ex generals like Ibb and Obj is one of them, these two guys are not just wicked and corrupt but are also highly intelligent too, trust me when I say they have all it takes to rope PMB down. And it might interest you to know that there is a good percentage of high ranking officers in the millitary who are loyal to these men even in death. Mind you that Dasuki is just a branch of IBB and his case just dey rope everybody. The kind of secrets these men know can only be made known by God, and no judiciary fit judge them except God.

If u a "sniper" is scared of us touching this case...den wetin I go tokk..anyway wisdom is profitable to direct...na my prayer for PMB b dat! I greet u.

Juxtified:
All this is just talk. I doubt if anybody can go after IBB in this country

Hmmm...if d emergence of PMB has taught u anytin...it shd teach u never to say never u kno...anything is possible!
You wl shocked when it does happen.

wirinet:
If Iran can survive all these years under sanctions without exporting crude at all, then low oil prices should not be a concern at all.

The question is, how was Iran able to survive and indeed thrive without exporting crude? How were they able to fund exports? How were they able to stabilize their currency?

I think Nigeria should go and take lessons from Iran on how to survive without oil.

I beg to disagree with you that we can as it stands NOW there is any magic wand that iran utilised that we can also employ considering the uniqueness of their situation compared to ours.

The sanctions that was imposed on iran ddnt take them by surprise...cant type much right now...read this http://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2013/01/19/western-economic-sanctions-and-irans-survival-strategy/ because it captures what I want to explain to you.
