Every thing in Nigeria is about money.

Okoroawusa:
Everything in the world is about money

Everything about Nigeria is about stealing money

YorubaKinging:
FG.. this is not the time for lavish spending.

Use this money to help the poor during this outbreak

Buhari your silence on this matter is wow

How do you help the poor without infrastructures investment?

This is the time to build roads, rail, schools and hospital because the poor benefits from the low skill construction work and the community benefit from the infrastructure the[b] East-West road, 2nd Niger Bridge and relocation of freight traffic to Onne port [/b]will unleash industrial development in the South East.

Is this a port or a housing estate?

kunletexs:
See the level of stupidity. They would come out and bash PDP but they are worst than them. At least PDP left:
Dollar at n150 to a dollar
Didn't milk our savings account
Didn't tax our text charges and phone calls
Didn't give us multiple terrorists to content with
Didn't leave us to ourselves for 6years without presidential broadcast
Was not called a lifeless president
Was not clueless about government affairs.
Didn't call our youths lazy youth

...
Etc
....please when next any political party comes to you with slogan of change, first ask him if change to the positive or negative. If he know give correct answer, change his head shape with blows and planks because na their children of apc be this

16 years of PDP gave Nigeria debt of $53 billion in local currency hence we can pay back the debt in Naira. 5 years of Buhari gave Nigeria an extra $40 billion debt in dollars, where are we going to source dollar to pay back the debt.

PDP is bad, but APC is useless

When government wants to bring revolution upon itself, it keeps tightening the screws on the population...

Sowere should have waited for the government to start the revolution

hisexcellency34:
Fuel is $30 bpd yet Buhari's government is still selling to Nigerians at #145 per litre

Who is going to pay the foreign debt ?

chozzy:
.
The rivalry between Igbo and Yorubas is uncalled for.
I guess it's engineered by the North - divide and rule things.

Southern Nigeria will never develop until Igbos and Yoruba's unite.

Yes, I said so.

.

There is nothing wrong with competition and rivalry, but there comes a time when both the Igbo's and Yoruba must compromise. It will be difficult but it must happen.

Uchek:
Trash! Blame the Yoruba s not Ndigbo. Yorubas crowned the North king of Nigeria when they joined them to fight Biafra.

Olodo

You were provided with basic and simple education and yet you still can't learn.

Since 1960 the North has successfully been using one part of the south against another in order to achieve their aim which is to acquire political power ( use the Igbo's against the Yoruba's and again use the Yoruba's against the Igbo's) the divide and rule used by the British conquer eastern part of the present day Nigeria. The North has used the Yoruba's in 2015 and the same North will use the Igbo's in 2023 to retain the presidency and nothing will happen, because both the Igbo's and the Yoruba's are foolish. How can the most two advanced and educated ethnic group allow the most backward and illiterate ethnic group to govern and manage them and expect positive development Can one give what he doesn't have.

After five years in government, they now remember that the country should diversify. The should first sack Buhari as Minister of Petroleum, the man has failed in the oil sectors, the refineries are still not working, NNPC can't even supply gas to the thermal power plant yet these people what to industrialised.

He said, “As we are all aware, Nigeria is working on diversifying its economy as well as its revenue sources. The need to develop other channels of generating revenue and foreign exchange is critical.

“This need is further underscored by the recent drop in the global price of crude oil, which also constitutes a major threat to achieving planned government expenditure.

ogbiwa:
He seems to know what he wants and is willing to go after it not minding the costs. I admire that

I don't, what has he got to gain giving away $6 million.

He has fulfilled his dream to play and score for MANU and it's working for both parties, now it's time he focuses on his long term future beyond football

inyenejo:
Look at our Niger Delta oil money .
God will punish Rotimi Amaethief for using our oil money to develop the North building railways and good roads while there's no railway in the SS/SE, no good federal roads, no railway in Akwa Ibom state where the money came from.

Akwa Ibom has got a big N5 billion church

We have COVID-19, the economy is tanking and some idiot is interested in who meets Sanusi...Nigerian have a cultural and intellectual problem.

ogbuefi677:
Nigerians and their gullibility.
Sanusi was removed cos he spoke 4 d girlchild,yet mofo married a 17yr old as 4th wife to celebrate his ascendance to the throne.
Sanusi was dethroned for condemning almajiri system yet mofo spent billions of naira to renovate his palace, acquired 2 new Rolls Royce cars worth hundreds of millions each but never built a single primary school block.
Even though he claimed his friends asked him what they could do for him and he requested the cars,couldn't he have told them to build schools in his name instead?
Same story when he was in CBN, would charter private jet to go to Lagos to sleep with his married mistress who was also his staff at d expense of CBN,yet una wan canonize am.
This is the same way buhari was able to scam una.

They are brilliant at playing the integrity victim to gullible and docile Nigerian. We have five years of Buhari integrity and all we have is Fulani herdsmen militant, recession and a blame culture. Just look at the size of his Lagos mansion

Inexperience owner has run the bank into the ground.

Union Bank owners[b] Atlas Mara [/b]with a 49% stake has been under pressure to exit their African holdings.
Last year (February), Atlas Mara co-founder Bob Diamond announced he was resigning his post as Chairman of the company. The company said it was looking at selling off banking assets in countries where it was not the dominant player.

tutudesz:
This Senators can afford to equip their house with solar panels and inverter, Generator are for the middle and lower class now in Nigeria. Why can't he suggest a bill to jail power generating, distribution companies? Why not ban importation of pumping machines too!

The Middle and lower class should be on the street demanding 24/7 electricity and not adapting to the bad practice of using polluting generator in 2020. Nigeria is blessed with Solar, Wind, Hydro and Gas, we export LNG to countries that can provide 24/7 electricity to their people. The bill will force Nigerian to demand more from their useless politician instead of accepting the status quo.

helinues:
I created the thread for record purpose.. Cos I knew you guys would eventually blame Buhari for the fall in oil price or possibly if we slide into recession.

Vindicated already

Has Buhari fixed the four refineries that will cut import of refined oil products?

TylerDurden:
[s][/s]

This loan has been in the offering since 2019 and only got to the Senate after Saraki was replaced with rubber Stamp Lawan.

If they knew we are heading into a recession why did they pin the budget benchmark at $57

Pls stop trying to make excuses for this broad-daylight heist.

Actually, the loan was for $29.7 billion, Saraki approved $6 billion.

Officialgarri:
I can see a part of the loan is meant for electricity.

Fellow Nigerians, what if this loan could solve electricity problem by 70%, should we not agree with the FG to take the loan?

Nigeria electricity problem requires restructuring before any investment can be considered. Let each region be responsible for its own Generation, Transmission, Distribution and Governance. The Federal government can then support investment in specific electricity projects.

badoh:
Imagine the gibberish this man is saying. There's nothing the media in Lagos can do. What concerns lagos with this. Somebody was advising the north to reduce mortality rate, increase enrollment in education and improve infrastructure because he could see tomorrow, you're saying it's an insult to the sensibilities of the north. It's only people that are sensible that will appreciate what sanusi is saying. As a matter of fact, there should be a legislation on the minimum education requirement to vote in this country as we realize illiterates elect leaders for us in this country.

The country is facing economic collapse and all the Northerners are interested in a useless Emir that thinks he is smart.

Osidazz19:
First, Russia produces many consumer goods for their citizens and others in the region. Yes they don't have lots of goods geared towards western markets.
Manufacturing goods for your own economy is very very important and allows you to have some sort of control of your economy.
Secondly, Nigeria does not have a y manufacturing base, no steel industry, no technological know how, no research and development base. The people are more interested in tribal, religious and mundane issues than in inventions.
Thirdly, besides agriculture which other industry can just make any serious impact in a very short period? None.

Yes this and all other previous governments in this country have been subpar in every facet of creating an enabling environment for solid foundation for diversification of the economy. What did the previous govts do to diversify the economy? Nothing.
Your leaders are a microcosm of you, your village, your town, your cities and the whole country.
Until you have people who are more interested in the greater good of society than their own selfish need, don't expect any serious improvement.

Buhari is more interested in the greater good but unfortunately, he lacks the skills and energy required to take the country to where it needs to be.

If Buhari had any good intention, his second ministerial portfolio would have been been the minister of industry or agriculture and not petrol resources. Lacking skills and energy are not a good prerequisite for leadership, you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know that Buhari is completely out of his depth.

Making excuses is not a strategy, OBJ reduced the country national debt, at the time the country was earning $40 per barrel, the GEJ government despite all their shortcoming took loans only in Naira. Buhari government in it 5 years has increased the debt profile to $110 billion, that is $50 billion in 5 years! All in foreign currency. How, will Nigeria pay back the debt at $22 dollar per barrel.

The day Nigerian leadership will accept that oil is a product of Niger-Delta and not Nigeria, will be the day Nigeria begin to develop as a country.

Queseda:
All the hypocrites cussing Buhari should rather tell us what they would have done if they were in Buhari's shoes with the oil price this low and being the mainstay of our economy from one administration to another. Everyone has been paying lip service to diversification of the economy.
I guess it's easier to criticize than to profer solutions to problems, most of the hypocrites here never said anything when the last administration had to borrow to pay salaries despite earning the most in terms of oil revenue in the history in this country, but would abuse Buhari who hasn't earned half of what Jona earned and hasn't owed salaries but instead has been giving bailouts to states. Posterity will be kind to Buhari for this alone regardless of what you dimwits think

Buhari had the best chance to diversify the economy from oil, low oil revenues were the driver to transformed the economy.

1. Fixed the refineries and reduce fuel import (Buhari had the best part of 5 years but did nothing)
2. Increase tax revenue from 6% to 20% and based the national budget on customs, royalties and tax revenue and not unreliable oil export.
3. Disband NNPC, an organisation that cannot manage the pipeline, refineries, supply gas to the thermal gas turbines.

How can Nigeria develop it's manufacture industry when NNPC under this idiot called Mele Kyari cannot supply gas to the GENCO. Imagine the Transmission systems shutting down for 10 days.

What is the relevant of NNPC?

lilprinze:
Instead of our olodo president to diversify our economy he is busy looking for oil in the north.

I have never come across a more useless group of people like, Buhari and his government, they had the best part of 5 years to fix the refineries and reduce Nigeria dependency on imported fuel to free up FX that could have backed up the foreign reserves.

onojiwizardgmailcom:
I live in Kano, in my area we have a well built and furnished Almajiri school, that has not been in use since it was built by GEJ, looking through the window you see quality chairs and white board and good fans all covered in dust. Any time I pass through the school I feel bad for this country, sentiment will never let us do things right.

There lies the problem with Nigerian, instead of focusing on the interest of the suffering children they are more concerned with PDP vs APC.

I am not a fan of GEJ, but he did invest a lot in the North, especially in the field of education. Maybe he should have developed the Niger-Delta.

uuzba:
Database for what?
Can you lie that this man didn't fill form before travelling to Malaysia and writing down all those details?
UNLESS
He changed his details.
Even at that, Malaysia people will use his picture to get his given name.
Or the guy just lied about everything.
The op is here stating his full name, state and village. So what is the issue again?

Biometric ID would link your physical details, fingerprints, iris, facial features to the National ID database.

This is where a national id database would have been useful. A simple check between the Malaysian Police and the Nigeria embassy would have brought up his historical data and next of kins. The Nigerian political class, despite spending billions of dollars on a National ID programme refuse to do the right thing and implement it.

RIP to Igwe

kponkedenge:
This is why you guys are denied study visa because most of you plan on staying instead of returning back to your country after your studies. That means you practically lied or planning on lying to your interviewer about returning back to your home country upon the completion of your studies.

Would you want to go back to Nigeria? A country that can't even do simple things like election, road maintenance and electricity. Nigerian in the diaspora contributes more to Nigeria than rapidly falling oil export and the meagre 6% Tax collection.

Abba Kyari graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from the University of Warwick, England in 1980.

He also possesses a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Law from the University of Cambridge, England and was called to the Nigerian Bar after attending the Nigerian Law School in 1983.

In 1984, he obtained a master's degree in law from the University of Cambridge.

He later attended the International Institute for Management Development at Lausanne, Switzerland and participated in the Program for Management Development at the Harvard Business School, in 1992 and 1994.

I appreciate Abba Kyari academic excellence in humanities and law, but this is about negotiating large scale engineering programme and I am not that impressed with Sale Mammam professional background.

In the real world, you are only judged on your professional accomplishments, academic accomplishments are only relevant in the academic fields.

grandstar:
So Nigerians are asking to be spoonfed?

Lending rate is 25%, power supply is epileptic, Apapa ports are a nightmare for importers, the government has shut the borders, more goods are being banned and you say Nigerians are expecting to be spoonfed?

People are trying to find one means or the other to survive such as Okada's and tuktuks and government's are banning them left right and center.

The economy is barely growing 2% per Annum. No matter how hard Nigerians try, the forces against progress even with their best efforts is challenging.

Nigerians aren't asking to be spoonfed. On the contrary, they ask for too little but this government policy is always putting them down.

Look at car importation. A once thriving sector and government slams a 70% import duty on it. They have now turned many into smugglers.

What is stopping docile Nigerian from going onto the street and saying "No More". Nigerian protested in 2012 when GEJ tried to cut oil subsidies and invest in infrastructures. Nigeria protested to keep the oil subsidies that only benefited oil importers at the expense of infrastructure development.

Sowere, tried to organised street protest to force good governance but Nigeria stayed at home. If Nigerian refuse to fight for their right the only option is hardship and pain.

Try data analytics using python.

Correct.

Data Analytics with Python and R
MSC in an AI subject e.g Analytics, Computer Science, Engr or Mathematics (STEM)

Do not waste your time if you don't have the minimum of the above.

South Korea's defence budget is four times that of the North's total budget.

South Korea has some of the latest defence equipment. North? Their most advanced fighter jets are MIG 29 built 30 years ago.

NK just relies on China for protection, same as SK.relies on the US, but one on one, NK would lose

All that nan convention, NK has the Nuclear bombs...case closed.
