EzeNri:
SLS is the type of President I want. He has everything I need in a President, I have heard few rumours about him so am not too comfortable with him.

Another Northern Elite I'll love as a President is Dogara, but the budget padding ish disqualified him.

Turaki of Adamawa seems to be the only Northerner that knows how he wants to govern Nigeria. He already developed a model. But his antecedents is what am afraid of.

El Rufai, God forbid.

Kwankwanso for President 2019, but that depends on who he is running with.

I am for Turaki Adamawa because the statement he made about restructuring Nigeria.

He seems to be a moderate Northerner

EzeNri:
Sanusi will make a good President than Buhari. I don't think he will sacrifice being Emir for President.

Calm down, you'll see how intellectuals will sell him to Nigerians.

I don't like SLS. But he's wasting his talent in that Emirate. I apologise. I mean no insult to the good pple of Kano but SLS is too much of an intellect to be just an Emir.

And of course he'll be far better than Buhari.

majekdom2:
Tell me, in your own thoughts, what do you think can be done to fix the economy. What other structures do they want? I am not in for the resource control mantra.

Beautiful. You don't want resource control? Ok

Pass the PIB and give the communities 10% (in addition to the 13% ND states are getting) of the oil proceeds from oil fields located in the community(ies) with a clause that the more oil faciliites are hit by militants the less the % profit the community gets. This will make the oil producing communities to protect/police the pipelines and other oil assets.
Passing the PIB alone will bring in more industries into the region. Passing PIB means more refineries, petrochemical plants, etc.

Make oil field licensing to be more transparent. Make it open for the businessmen of Niger delta origin to bid and own oil Wells as against what it was during the military era.

Also let the FG encourage/help/approve seaports for states that wants to have seaports and the matter of cleaning the environment ofcourse.

Now I ask have the PMB led FG made this offer to ND people/militants and they refused?

Then maybe the rumours are true.

Someone just posted on twitter that Emir SLS is interested in 2019 preaidential elections.

He's already shared some money to Media men and Social media influencers to pot ray him as the true "messiah" that will deliver us from economic recession.

Have you noticed he's been in the news for all the good reasons lately.

Let's wait and see if it's true

obailala:
A lot of people who have never stepped foot in a place like Warri obviously do not get the message the writer is passing across. [/b]The point being made is that if agitations must be done, there are smarter ways to agitate without blowing your own feet off[b]. This case isn't all about oil because not only oil companies are caught in this mess. Just mid last year, Shoprite which has opened numerous branches in different parts of Nigeria launched a new branch in Warri. After the whole funfair and all, just in a matter of months, the services of shoprite warri were disrupted, the place was vandalised and looted by the same rampaging youths and these are the exact acts many oblivious folks rush online to ddefend and glorify because they think everything is about oil and everything is about hausa or what not. The point here is simple, the social problem goes way beyond oil.

They had a Ken Saro Wiwa with his non violent agitation. What happened to him?

The neglect of that region by successive FG's in connivance with local chiefs turned that place into a den of militants.

I believe if the root cause is addressed, everything will fall into place. Militancy and hooliganism will be reduced to its barest minimum in less than a decade.

People talk as if there's no hope for the youths to turn a new leaf. Thank God the core of their problem is that of economy and not religion/culture. Once economy of the area is fixed, every other thing will fall into place in a few years

Warri will still get back to its glory days and so will other Niger delta states. They'll rise from the ashes better than they were because soon that area will be the Petrochemical Capital of Africa.

Let's do the right things first. For starters make them part owners of the resources found in their locality.

Pass original PIB ( 10% to host communities ).

Whenever it's time for oil license [/s]sharing[s] bidding, award some to businessmen of Niger delta origin.

Or better still, let them have control over their resources.

I stopped reading when I saw that the story came from an unnamed SOURCE.

DanielGb:
What if the work is paying heavily kon.
How will dey react?

They will tell their daughter that the boy is lying.

He's either a fraudster or ritualist.

Nwa m nwanyi, blogging/photography no dey give that kind money

madridguy:
Do you mean PVC is now useless or what?

Almost useless sir

madridguy:
For where? I remain last man standing but Osho baba messed up for his second tenure. If not why his he running from laliga to seria a. I believe this will serve as a lesson to Baba Kabiru, PVC don open voters eyes more than they think. 4 years you mess up, don't expect second chance. Based on what Sen. Sam said here yesterday, Edo is not sure for anybody.

APC till Nnamdi Kanu shout Sai Baba

Problem is that PVC has been rendered useless by the courts and constitution. That's why ballot box snatching and stuffing has resurfaced again in out elections.

Solution is INEC must send a bill to NASS amending the electoral act to accept electronic voting for this is where PVC can only be recognised by law.

Without this, Oshiomole will rig comfortably with Army and Police and nothing will happen.

Whilst we wait for the loan to come, release funds from the TSA to banks to give loans at single digit interest rate.

PMB can reduce the powers on the centre by telling the states to go source funds (not loan ) from investors, build inter state railways and federal roads. Example is Anambra and Enugu getting investors to construct Enugu - Onitsha express way.

With this, we would have to take lesser amount of loans as the burden on FG to spend us out of recession will be greatly reduced.

It's a win win situation for Buhari. He will claim the glory for being responsible for turning the whole of Nigeria into huge construction site and also we won't have to owe much to achieve it.

It's now crystal clear even to the blind that there'll be no free and fair election in 2019.

It wont be well with those that knowingly brought this curse on us.

Oshimole has succeed in rigging this election.

It's now crystal clear even to the blind that there'll be no free and fair election in 2019.

It wont be well with those that knowingly brought this curse on us.

Militancy ( Fulani herdsmen, Nigerdelta militants, Boko haram, a soon to be formed Northern minorities militants, etc) and economic realities will force Nigeria to restructure between now and 2023.

Its sooner than most of us imagine

So Adeyanju is the man behind @PdpNigeria handle?

If true, then the guy is competent because lately that twitter handle is really doing a good job by constructively criticising the ruling party.

Big ups to deji

Decryptor:
Go one from the senator! I thought Zombies and their Northern oligarchs said this man and Saraki would leave office but almost 2 years on, they still dey kampe! Shame on enemies and bad belle pipu

Back to the topic, Anambra ha already set up ranches in Ozubulu. More ranches to follow suit.

That's beautiful.

Our state governors thru the state ministries of Agric help private investors in the SE import good cows that survive in tropics.

If it was done on Channels TV website, 97% of Nigerians would have voted in favour of this Admins' economic policies while 5% would've voted against it.

Infact Vanguard suprised me here with this poll result.Kudos

Fedayeen02:
This new increase will be the breaking point for this government. The mass revolution that will follow will lead to Buhari crossing to CHAD for asylum

Won't happen bruv.

Who'll lead the protest? Are we prepared to die?

99% of our activists both online and offline are all fake activists. Unless Tinubu pays them, they won't protest and Tinubu can never talk out of fear. Tinubu's game plan now will be to make sure they don't snatch Lagos from his grasp come 2019 as some people have vowed to cut down his powers in SW

PMB is on the same level (if not higher) wickedness as Abacha. PMB is not GEJ therefore any mass protest will be crushed brute force.

juman:
nigeria was destroyed by pdp 16 years misrule and senseless leadership.

This line doesn't fly anymore bro.

So before 1999, Nigeria was Singapore

Buhari, IBB, Abacha and Abdulsalam led our nation to economic eldorado

tansho:
Why not just adopt the Justice Mohammed Uwais report?

SIMPLE!!!

Except this will be a Kangaroo committee that'll do away with Card readers and institutionalise election rigging. If not why not adopt Uwais report.

No need for committee, if INEC is serious they'll just send an amendment to NASS for Card readers/electronic voting to be recognised in our electoral act. Have we not seen that ballot box snatching have started just because according to our Judges the Law doesn't recognise card readers?

Im confident that between now and 2023, economic realities will force us to restructure.

Oil price will continue going down south and citizens/elites will be forced to put on their thinking cap work "out our salvation"

luvinhubby:
Every known economists is saying Buhari messed up big time, Pat Utomi, Akin Osuntokun, Soludo, Sanusi, Rewane are all saying same thing, APC is a collosal error.

I guess the only TV station he watches is NTA

I read recently that Zamfara looses $500m annually to illegal in in of Gold.

Under Obj, Nigeria was said to be loosing $30m annually to illegal mining of tantalite.

Last year or so I also read of a town in Taraba where diamond and other precious stones are mined. https://www.nairaland.com/1946108/18-hours-tarabas-diamond-fields.

I've heard of some igbo guys that deal in precious stones they act as middlemen and they get the stones from north.

Now Kaduna just found Nickel in huge quantity.

The north are immensely blessed with solid minerals. I believe with true federalism, they'll develop better than they are now. They'll have better infrastructures and also develop their human capital more thereby reducing radicalism and terrorism.

Resource control will solve at least 50% of our national problem in the first 2 years of implementation.

Trial and Error economics. That's what this administration is practicing.

"In my second time as a finance minister, from 2011 to 2015, we had the instrument, we had the means, we had done it before, but ZERO POLITICAL WILL."

“So we were not ABLE TO SAVE when we should have. That is why you find that Nigeria is now in the situation it is in.".. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala

http://pulse.ng/local/okonjo-iweala-there-was-no-will-to-save-under-jonathan-ex-minister-says-id4922425.html

Are you trying to argue the truth?

Contrary to the slant given by these loud headlines, Okonjo-Iweala did not indict the Jonathan administration in which she served. Rather, she was referring to what many Nigerians already know; the strong opposition by some governors to the Jonathan government’s efforts to save in the Excess Crude Account and the Sovereign Wealth Fund sabotaged this important national priority.

“The governors’ criticism of Okonjo-Iweala’s many calls for the country to save for the rainy days are still fresh in the minds of Nigerians. This opposition culminated in the governors taking the Jonathan government to the Supreme Court in furtherance of their position that the Federal government had no right to “compel” them to save,”

What will you say about this?

yemmight:
Who is paying who. It was during GEJ that every dick & harry get shares from the government. The truth is bitter.

Which truth is bitter?

That Buhari has broken a world record for being the 1st president to lead a nation to recession twice in 2 centuries by commission and omission.

He came with a video analyst . Good

Absolute nonsense.

Whatever we're experiencing now is 80% PMB's fault.


Are people being paid to come online and blame GEJ?

If you have any opportunity of traveling outside our shores (EG Uk, US, Canada, Scandinavian countries, Aussie, etc) grab the it with both hands and feet.

This is the time to really call on God to have mercy on Nigeria. We desperately need divine intervention

No doubt Buhari is the major cause of this recession.

However, there's still hope for him to turn this around this bad situation to good. Only if he will listen and do what is right for it'll not only favour the south, it'll also favour the north.

1) Send the original PIB to NASS tell them its an emergency and ensure its passed. With this alone the problem of militancy will be reduced to its barest minimum, more FDI for our petrochem industry and more gas to power our industries.

2) Land Use act should be scrapped.

3) Sell some of our assets in the oil industry ( with the permission from the owners of the land ofcousre). Use the fund to develop infrastructues because economy needs money to be pumped into it ASAP.

4) For the love of God lets have True federalism, resource control or whatever name they call it. Even if yo're as gifted as messi and maradonna combined, you can't dribble the whole 11 players on the pitch and score. You pass the ball, its a team work and you lessen the burden. Buhari must shed some responsibilities to the states for Nigeria to move forward.

5) I believe with this few things we'll be out of recession 2018/20
