At least things were quite better in that era other than Mr Integrity claiming to fight corruption with sentiments, sometimes i don't just gerrit when people blame PDP for the downfall of Nigeria when 65% of the present APC were formally PDP members who became saints by joining APC just to escape prosecution....
And it's quite Interesting how twice Nigeria went on recession was during the time of dsame man called Buhari and u think this same man got what it takes to make Nigeria a better place... Anyways i did a few research on buhari fans and found out those throwing weight for him are getting something in one way or the other "People will always love you when it's beneficial"

The same research many patriots like me have done, only to realise that the chief wailers are those whose steady access to public funds have been blocked and are wailing out of hunger imposed by laziness and a delusion that they do not have to work to be wealthy.

The rest of the wailers like you are just pawns who do not know their left from their right, so have no clue where to place the blame.

Or you think Reno Omokri is happy not to have access to the presidency?
You think FFK is happy being insignificant despite his many wailings, yet Buhari regime has not called him to eat like OBJ and Jonathan did to shut him up?
You think the likes of the Armed Forces chiefs that are being investigated are happy that Father Christmas Jonathan lost his reelection?
You think the billionaire civil servant Patience Jonathan is happy that she is being investigated with corrupt funds scattered across many different bank accounts under false identities?

You think Atiku is happy not to have government patronage for his businesses that were not paying their dues to government?

You reference the similarity between APC and PDP, yet you want PDP to come back to power to do what it did for 16yrs and what its twin that is APC is still doing for 4yrs?

And you claim to want a better Nigeria?

MaziOmenuko:
One tanker of fuel is over N4.5mil, that of diesel is over N8mil; the security forces in colaboration with some locals are the ones doing this bunkery. They escort like 10 tankers to that same spot and do their thing. Multiply 8mil by 10 and you discovered that in less that 2yrs, they will be back.

We are that evil and wicked in this country!

Nigerians are a curse to Nigeria.

The same Abule-Egba had an oil spill explosion due to deliberate vandalism about 7years ago around same Christmas season, and there were lots of fatalities.

Now another explosion from the same area, and likely the same point of vandalism.

We already know that Nigerians are criminals, and criminals prefer easy money to actual work, no matter how much criminal windfall they have made in the past. But why is NNPC and the Nigerian police so useless in ensuring that such notorious access to petroleum pipelines are well monitored and secured?


Don't be surprised that this explosion did not just happen after a few hours of spillage, it probably had been on for days.

I hope some in that area have learnt their lesson that should serve as a deterrent for another 5yrs/6yrs, before the typical hungry criminals come to vandalise again for easy money, knowing that the NNPC and the security forces will forever be useless.

Anytime i see people throwing support for Buhari it weakens my soul because it makes me to realize there is no hope for Nigeria....
Tho am Atikulated but i have this feeling APC will win 2019 Election by massive rigging not forgetting even Sudan will vote for Jubril

You want hope for Nigeria, yet you are Atikulated with PDP?

So 16yrs of failure is the best hope you have for your country?

Your soul is not only weak, it is already corrupted to deceive itself.

A sane society where the barbarians that rule us and rape us, ensure they have their children as citizens, to benefit in a progressive nation, while retarding Nigeria.

Consider the following words which were sent to me by an insider who wishes to remain anonymous.

“Air Chief Alex Badeh the former Chief of Defence Staff who called the Nigerian President, Mohammadu Buhari a “religious bigot” to his face was assasinated yesterday after he had threatened to expose the government over its involvement with Boko Haram prior to removing Jonathan. Just before he left office, he visited Maiduguri in a covet operation and ran into some top members of the current day government as they were coming out of a meeting with Boko Haram Commanders at the Nigerian Army underground Armory which was siezed by Boko Haram. He ordered his boys not to open fire but took pictures which he refused to hand over to the government when he was retired. He raised an alarm first week in November 2018 when 2 hooded men tried to break into his Asokoro house but DSS played it down. He was assassinated in cold blood by unknown gun men one month later”.

I cannot confirm the veracity of some of these assertions but two things are self-evident. Firstly that he was indeed murdered on December 18th and secondly that there is a dimension to this matter that few are familiar with.

Smart, devious and cunning FFK.

You chose to use a nameless 3rd party as the source of the deliberate propaganda you wanted to spew.

The very same FFK whom insider source informed that Buhari refused to shake the hand of Gov Ortom of Benue state during a FEC meeting, only for the video and pictures of same meeting to be released showing Buhari warmly shaking Ortom and exchanging pleasantries with him.

The chaos and anarchy that FFK is vehemently desirous of, would consume his own family before it consumes any innocent Nigerian.

Ok ooo

He must be referring to his corruption indictment and his fugitive status in America.

Daniella, ashewo to re Mecca.

goaldynboy:
YOU ARE RATHER THE HEAP OF POO-POO HERE!!

Why not objectively refute anything I stated there with your own fact!

Was Buhari not the Military Head of State from 1983-1985?!

You ignoramus wants an objective debate, but began with a lie that Buhari has been in power since 1962 because he was enlisted into the Nigerian Army then?

You should have made it more humorous by claiming he was Prime Minister in 1960.

Are you saying Buhari should have fixed all roads in 2yrs as military President, yet PDP spent 16yrs in power with the achievement of only "began fixing" after all the time and money?

Are you saying PTF did not build and fix roads when Buhari held sway?

Or if you are implying that all roads should have been fixed by PTF in 5yrs as its only responsibility, why then are we talking about roads repair after 16yrs of PDP?

Or were the refineries moribund and dilapidated when Buhari was petroleum minister in the 1970's?

Did a shameless PDP not rule for 16yrs without fixing the refineries?

Shame on your idiocy.

Very important they remain on the watchlist.

If they love their husband/father more than the stolen military wealth he has bequeathed to them as his legacy, they will come back to pay their last respects and suffer the legal consequences.

If they love stolen military funds more than their thieving breadwinner, they will forsake him the way he forsook his patriotic obligations and accountability to his country and men of the armed forces.


Nigeria, for how long will you allow them rape you while they ensure their families enjoy the best of life and peace abroad?

So it's even Buhari that instigated them to protest before? Why is this administration just useless like this?

They know Buhari is not the one owing them.

Badeh and the likes of Air Marshall Amosu, AVM Adigun and Air Commodore Gbadebo embezzled security funds meant for the Air Force, then used his position and air force resources to evacuate his family from Adamawa during a boko haram onslaught.

He forgot he would one day become an ordinary citizen in a society that has no security generally provided for the regular Joe.

When would we learn that we all would benefit from a Nigeria that works for all, and stop this madness of trying to corner resources of wealth and security for our own families alone?


https://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/alleged-n3-9bn-fraud-efcc-slams-10-count-charge-on-badeh/amp/

Allegations

Specifically, the agency alleged that Badeh had between January and December, 2013, used dollar equivalent of the sum of N650 million to purchase a commercial plot of land situated at Plot 1386, Oda Crescent, Cadastral Zone, A07, Wuse II, Abuja.

Badeh was said to have between March 28 and December 5, 2013, paid N878,362,732.94 which he removed from the account of the Nigerian Air Force, into the account of Rytebuilders Technologies Limited with Zenith Bank Plc, for the construction of a shopping mall on the plot.

He was also alleged to have diverted another dollar equivalent of N304 million to the firm, Rytebuilders Technologies Limited, for the completion of the shopping mall.

Whereas EFCC, in count five of the charge, alleged that Badeh used dollar equivalent of N260 million which he removed from the accounts of the Nigerian Air Force and paid to one Ouwatoyin Oke through Platinum Universal Project and Construction to purchase a duplex for his son, Alex Badeh Jnr., it said the defendant further used N60 million to renovate the property situated at 19, Kumai Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja.

The prosecution alleged in court-seven of the charge that Badeh used N90 million to furnish the said duplex he bought for his son and the commission told the court that Badeh Jnr. was currently on the run.

Use your brain properly...is Nigeria still in recession??

So you expect roads laced with gold and jobs for everyone because we are no longer in a recession?

Did the recession end 16yrs ago?

Or has the recent end of recession provided this current regime with more annual revenue than the regime that sold crude oil at over $100/barrel?

Your brain needs nutrients.

O

sotall:
Is Nigeria still in recession??

Would there have been a recession at all if Jonathan had not wiped away all savings, and rather than take the foreign reserves from $47 beyond $100b, it plummeted to $29b?


Would Okonjo-Iweala have had need to borrow N470b to pay civil servant salaries, if the FG had done well with the windfall from 2010 to 2014?

Or you expect a magic wand solution to the bankruptcy executed by PDP?

otipoju:
I have read through your posts and ill just keep quiet for you...one day God will open your eyes and grant you wisdom.

You are tribalistic which is not good for your health. In Dallas, a Nigerian, an Igbo man would drop me off at work by 5 am and go back home to prepare for his own job that starts by 8 am.

He did this for 2 good months until i bought my own car. He was not my relative. You need people's help but you are an ethnic bigot.

Shioor.

On a good day, if the system was working, two months salary will buy you a decent car and you wont have to come online to be begging for help. If you dont want to pay cash, you simply walk into any car dealer with your ID and your pay stubs and youll get a car that same day and be paying in small installments.
.
..but your small mindedness will not let you see that Osinbanjo,Tinubu, and Fashola do not care zilch about you.

Vote anyone has potential to improve your life and make you live like a normal person and stop that tribal garbage that you are spitting.

What was tribal about the post you quoted? Why not focus on his opinion on the particular topic and challenge him on his allegations of corruption against the deceased that are well known?

Are you sure you are mentally alright?

The Governor of the CBN, Godwin Emefiele, had earlier said that because crude oil was a major source of the country’s foreign exchange, the nation’s economy became sensitive to fluctuations in the price of crude oil.

What I still cannot fathom is how Nigeria sold crude oil at over $100/barrel from 2010 to 2014, yet the foreign reserves that stood at $47b in 2010 had plummeted to $29b in 2015. While the same FG of PDP and Jonathan also managed to incur petroleum sector debts of over $6b in unpaid counterpart funding for JV oil pojects within same period?

What manner of lunatic will then say that the failure of APC in 3yrs should be replaced by the unrelenting untiring and unapologetic failure of the PDP of 16yrs?


The MMM economy that Jonathan and Okonjo-Iweala ran, was exposed as a facade the minute oil prices began to fall from $100/barrel towards $50/barrel.

What manner of government refuses to improve on savings and foreign reserves in a time of plenty and excessive petrodollar revenue, but rather spends everything previous regimes saved in a time of austerity?

Was there any commodity that sold in 2015 at a price cheaper than when Jonathan assumed power in 2010?

What manner of bankrupting regime would already have to borrow N470 ($2.5b) as at May, just to pay civil servant salaries in February/March/April 2015, despite that crude oil was still selling above $50/barrel?

What then would Jonathan and Okonjo-Iweala have done if they had won reelection and oil price slumped to $27/barrel as it did in 2015/2016?

A people whom God had saved from a Venezuelan economic collapse, are still daily campaigning that the current regime has failed, and rather than seek new alternatives, insist that a return to Egypt is what they prefer.

Foolish Galatians!

Open your PDP polluted minds.

b) Only an incorrigible hater will say that Nigeria is not making progress under the PMB administration with the acute resource constraint and the multiplying challenges facing the country.

Think Deeply.......

PDP is always raising imaginary and imaginative alarms.

This political gimmick is getting stale and ineffective.

Jonathan:
Typical Biafra jew .
I doubt the authenticity of this news though , Reno omokriminal is not so stupid to make such assertions. When e no craze

He said so.

Political jobbers like Reno who hide behind the facade of religion, yet were present in the corridors of power when Nigeria had its years of plenty wasted recklessly, but are the ones wailing aimlessly about the recession they cultivated, have long lost their souls in pursuit of filthy lucre.

He will do and say anything to have PDP return to power after 16years of unrelenting failure.

If America had failed for the same 16yrs from 1999 to 2015, would Reno Omokri be living in the comfort and working society of the USA now?

Yet those whom you expect to be rational and logical about the obvious 16yrs failure, are enjoying development in America, while encouraging their naive Nigeria zombies to return PDP to power, so they can come back to loot some more and return to America.

If only you know how much Atiku is missing America which he prefers to Nigeria. His whole presidential bid is to use the diplomatic position of President to reestablish his access to his American lifestyle and investments, knowing he will still maintain some diplomatic immunity and international mobility even after he has left the presidency.

Reno Omokri is one of the problems of Nigeria.

Maybe he is also admitting that the then regime of his boss Jonathan, was responsible for the helicopter crash death of a former CDS and ex NSA, General Andrew Owoye Azazi, who was quoted to have said PDP is boko haram.

How will a charlatan pastor who is residing in the peace of America, continue to fan the embers of chaos in Nigeria?

Just because Nigerians exercised their democratic franchise to sack the 16yrs platinum certified failure of PDP, and the clueless and corruption glorifying Jonathan with his billionaire false bank account operating absentee civil servant wife.

Reno Omokri is a political lunatic.

in Nigeria a whole Attorney General and Minister of Justice can be assassinated inside his own house, with 6 police officers claiming to have all gone to have dinner at the same time, and the culprits will never be found.

Now a whole retired Chief of Defence Staff of the armed forces can just be attacked and murdered so easily, for whatever reason, and I already know it is a crime that will not be solved.

When will Nigeria ever change for the better?

Remember when you are in power and truly a Nigerian citizen with protection, rights and privileges, that you will one day relinquish power to become a regular Nigerian victim who has no protection, no rights but ample assault and misery.

If the top echelon of the security apparatus in Nigeria, rather than embezzle funds that would have secured the country, had done their duty and served patriotically, they would have retired into the tranquillity of a peaceful nation.

If elected officials had used public funds to provide critical infrastructure and healthcare, they would have no reason to seek healthcare in Dubai or UK or Germany, only to die the minute they arrive Nigerian hospitals in a bid to avoid arrests for money laundering charges abroad.

You need to take a bold leap towards uncertainty, to achieve greatness.

Good work!

Olukat:
Is Atiku contesting to be US President?
He has committed no crime by not going to America
In fact he will visit America after he has won the election

By which time he will already have diplomatic immunity?

At least, you are an honest supporter of Atiku who knows he should avoid jail in America and use the Nigerian presidency to solve his personal visa problems.

It seems only the SouthEast and parts of the SouthSouth consider the 16yrs of PDP federal power as a success. Hence, the slavery to PDP servitude.

The same 16yrs where there was no electrical power, no good roads, no working refinery, no dignifying healthcare, Police and Military brutality, zero regard for human life, chronic corruption, comatose education that saw Nigerian students opting for Ghana, etc.

I am not saying APC has fared better in 3+yrs in those same factors, what I am saying is what manner of a self-hating people would have wanted the PDP to continue past its 16yrs of failure, yet are daily lamenting over APC's 3yrs of failure such that they are determined to have PDP back in power to do what they never did in 16yrs?

How people rationalise 16yrs of failure as the best the nation has to offer and should be reengaged with federal power, is the extreme of mass mental slavery.

Tunde Ayeni is one of those who profited from Jonathan's bankruption of Nigeria.

He is making an acquisition of his own bank by another, look like a great accomplishment.
