Gbagura:
Lol where are those brainwashed fools saying the orangutan called Kanu will be released today. Yes, he's been released back to kuje underground cell.

The buhari I know won't release that secessionist. He must bring back those he's ordered to be killed including Mr Akunyili.

Ipob are dumbshits.

How does this affect the price of akara in my area? ............. Failed government........ Rubbish write-up........ Propaganda APC

presidency:
As you read this piece, President Muhammadu Buhari and his team are in the French capital, attending the Paris Peace Forum, a gathering of about 30 Presidents and head of governments from around the world. The Nigerian leader is among the few that were asked to deliver a speech.

On Wednesday afternoon, we had been at the Palais Elysee, the seat of the French government, where President Buhari paid an official visit to President Emmanuel Macron, who himself had been in Abuja in 2018. Impressive is a mild word to use for the spectacle.

Earlier that Wednesday, President Buhari had been at the Shangri-La Hotel, to give a keynote address at the Nigeria International Partnership Forum, put together for Nigerian and French investing community. It was a roll call of the brightest and best in the Nigerian business firmament, including Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu, Chairman BUA Group and head, France-Nigeria Business Council, Mr Tony Elumelu, Chairman Heirs Holdings and UBA, Alhaji Mohammed Indimi, Chairman, Oriental Energy Resources, Prince Nduka Obaigbena, Chairman/Editor-in-Chief, ThisDay Group and Arise News Channels, among many others.

Now, the narrative that some people have labored to paint over the years, either out of hatred, or cheap political reasons, is that nothing was happening in the country, other than wanton killings and massive insecurity. They trumpet and magnify insecurity to the exclusion of any other thing. Yes, Nigeria battles grave security challenges like many other countries, particularly in the Sahel region, but then, many other good things are happening, while evildoers are also being given a pounding by agencies of state.

Mr President spoke to the galaxy of Nigerian and French business people and investors, to a massive applause. And what did he say?

The government in Nigeria was on the right path to achieving multi-sectoral progress. It has re-assessed and updated the national security strategy, which has contributed to success in fighting insurgents and terrorists, and also countering violent extremism.

Still firing from the hips, Mr President told his audience that there was a link between modern infrastructure and the overall economic development of a nation, “hence the massive infrastructural expansion programme we have been executing in various sectors.”

He gave examples such as railways, seaports, roads, renewable energy, housing, and many others.

Petroleum is the cash cow of the Nigerian economy, which is now being heavily diversified. But for more than two decades, the enabling law for the industry crawled through the legislature. Till the Buhari administration gave it a fillip, and out came the Petroleum Industry Act, the liberalizing force of the oil industry, with incentives as tax holidays, zero interest loans, development plan for host communities, and easy repatriation of profits, among others.

On agriculture, President Buhari spoke about the Anchor Borrowers Programme, which gives loans and technical support to small holder farmers, leading to expansion of rice mills from 10 in 2014, to 40 today. The result is that we no longer import rice enormously, and now save billions of dollars, which can be utilized for other things.

Fertilizer blending plants were about only five in 2014, today we have 46, with the result that the commodity is widely available and accessible to farmers, at modest costs.

Many other facts and figures did the President adduce to justify the fact that good things were happening in Nigeria, and investments were not only safe, but also generating handsome returns. And that makes one to challenge those engaged in the paroxysm of ‘nothing is happening in the country’ to countermand or controvert any of the stated developments.

Has security not been jigged up in a way that bandits, terrorists, insurgents have been put on the back foot? Are evildoers not being daily sent to God to answer for their crimes? Is the country not being cleaned up, and it is just a matter of time before the sanitation is completed?

Don’t they see the infrastructure? Roads, bridges, airports, pipelines, awesome projects like the Second Niger Bridge, Bodo-Bonny road, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway, Loko-Oweto Bridge, AKK gas pipelines, Lagos-Ibadan rail project that is up and running, other rail projects under construction round the country, brand new airports in Abuja, Kano, Port Harcourt, new runway and terminal building in Enugu, and many others. Which will the wailers, caterwauling all their lives point to, and deny its existence? Yet they keep repeating like broken gramophone records that nothing was happening in the country.

The truth is that no single government will solve all the challenges of a country in its life span. It will do its level best, and yield space for others to continue. Muhammadu Buhari has touched Nigeria in diverse ways. Our armed forces have been equipped, trained and motivated like never before. The economy has successfully been diversified, after more than five decades of lip service. Corruption is being robustly fought, stealing is something to be abhorred. And Nigeria is being rebuilt. Projects, projects everywhere, with a good number of them slated for commissioning next year.

The apostles of ‘nothing is happening, except insecurity’ should look for other music to sing, and for other dance steps. Honest Nigerians can see and feel the good things happening. It was unfolded to Nigerian and international investors in Paris on Wednesday. Those who have consigned themselves perpetually to the complaint counters should wake up. The market is over. It is time to go home, and do something better.

You go soon hang yourself ontop another person matter!

Tissaia:

Everyone is playing joker with lowlife IPOB terrorists, including dumb politicians .

So much hated for them, yet u can't let them go!

Tissaia:
Awesome.. kill them terrorists bastards. Drug trafficking child factory products. Lowlife terrorists

chrisvic007:
The Yoruba have said it many times that the agitations of Ipob is not similar to theirs'. The Igbo should paddle their canoe because Igboho has not ordered the killing of his people, he has not destroyed any symbol of the state and in short, he is not a terrorist.

Moreover, igboho is not in the hands of Nigeria's security agency. He is in Benin republic with his kith and kin.

Thus, it would be proper if everybody paddles his canoe. We are not interested in attachment by force.

Foot note: I am in possession of the audio recording of 20th October 2020 from Biafra Radio where KANU ordered the Igbo to "attack and raze Lagos". He also told them to "bring Tinubu down and demystify him" and of course, the rest is history.

Rubbish comment

amliftedhigher:
If increasing it will solve Nigeria problem, they should increase it.

Because u think u can afford it right. God have mercy on U!

JakeGO:
lol

This guy is a thief. Never u try to send him money for data. I did and he stopped answering my calls and didn't send the data either. He now changed his banner with same number. He's a hungry thief and scam

Fellow Nairalanders, please beware of fraudulent data resellers roaming around here!

I was ripped off some good cash in this harsh Buhari regime in the name of buying data from a reseller I saw here. His advert looked REAL but he's a fraudster. He stopped picking my calls after he received the airtime I sent to him since Thursday last week.

Lalastic bro, please barn this moniker to safe others.

malton:


Thief na thief. Simple.

All these shiit boils down to the fact that those people have the innate desire for crime. Just like money, hard times magnify who we truly are.

They may have been pilfering since long, but because there was plenty then, the acts were negligible.

A lot of innovative people are thriving. All these ones who want everything placed on their laps resort to crime because their benefactors no longer see awuf.

How a grown man will sit and expect everything to be handed to him on a platter is dumbfounding. You get strength to go steal but you no get strength to go work gainful jobs.

A majority of our youth have a lazy mentality, no thanks to the oldies who destroyed everything. But trying to blame this squarely on the government is nonsense.

During my undergrad, I used to label my lecturer, Dr. Ishaya, as an agent of doom, because he told us the truth to the face. "Times are hard, brace up or your faces will flatten out like slippers," he'd say. "the government ordinarily exists to create an enabling environment. Don't sit back and expect them to offer you jobs."

At the tail end of it all, it now looks like I owe him a great deal for shaping my perspective. Those words have been my guiding principle and have been proven true time and again.

Unrepentant magnified zombilized zombie spotted.

joborskill:
This boy should be arrested for treason by displaying that evil biafra flag in our United nation Nigeria The useless toy he made is inconsequential to igbo land due to their love for foreign made goods. Igbo governors are overlooking innoson autos for Hyundai while they expect other Nigerians to buy their over hyped piece of metal called innoson autos. This jobless boy is definitely one of the yoots influenced by that albino called Nnamdi kanu on his evil radio before he was locked up like a goat. I hate that biafran logo on that Keke and i will never hide my hate for any biafran thread. May God bless Buhari and Nigerians

Is there any transformer around u? .......... Pls do the needful ASAP if any.

mamabomboy:
Good one. Truth be told, between the BOT PDP and NWC PDP, Ali Modu Sheriff is the most legal judicious faction. He is more interested in following the dictates of the law, than grabbing power. On the other hand, the BOT PDP is only interested in seizing power, at whatever cost.

A Zombie spotted!
