Sowore versus Bandits.

Bandits are VIP in this government,it is the ordinary law abiding citizens that are at the receiving end

alphaNomega:
Exactly!!!! This is why I would rather send my goods through Cotonou than the godforsaken Nigerian ports. We had an easier clearing system before evil and greedy customs officers in collaboration with politicians made it all shít. Today we are blaming little Togo and Niger republic.

This problem did not start today and I have tears in my eyes as Nigerians are applauding this as the best decision this government has taken this year!

It will cost you more money to move your goods from Lagos ports to the SouthEast than it would cost you to bring same goods from Netherlands to Lagos. Nigerians hate themselves so much.

yes you are very correct Nigerians hate themselves so much,they are always very eager to support any evil against them and they will even justify it,be it bad leaders or bad policies
I wonder why they are like that

alphaNomega:
Drop the hate! The largest farms in Nigeria are owned by Northerners/politicians and they are trying to arm twist the economy to ensure we patronise their farms even when it is obvious the quality and quantity is not sustainable.

We are lucky Dangote or any powerful Northerner is not in the busines of automobile assembly, Nigeria would have banned vehicle imports totally and forced us to use whatever death machine they fabricate.

Na you get the gist,it is never in the overall interest of the country,same way he did with foreign exchange,which is also an area they dominate,they will now disguise it as national interest and our southern mumu and their intellectuals,will now look for how to justify if
May God open the southern mumu eye like he has opened yours , for them to know that the country belongs to all of us and we must partake equally

Tokziby:
Why are we like this in this nation

Anybody in uniform always feels like a demi god and above the law I hope he gets lynched the same way as that SARS official that killed a pregnant woman couple of months ago cos the way they allowed him to go with the body will be the end of that case. They will drop it at the hospital and take to their heels end of story.

Animals in human skin

the lawlessness of the uniformed guys became heightened in this buhari regime,no discipline no control, to the extent the army can kill police to free kidnapper
He never finish?

chloride6:
Will you shut up?

LASG cannot make details of their N800bn Annual Budget Public..

2023 is near you will see

what is going to happen

Raydans post=82 hg688505:
I believe tachas vote is being engineered somewhere right from the onset. Everywhere have seen, majority of the people don't like her.

She keeps getting the highest vote because she has one or two people investing very heavily in her vote

What a waste!

This is a reflection of what Nigerians are at the moment, the more bad a thing is the more they like it,look at the kind of music they like ,our value system is upside to the extent Yahoo boys are always proud to introduce themselves as Yahoo boys,the people are very eager and happy to vote for their oppressors
Tell me why the country will not be a shit hole

After this osinbajo would have learnt how not to be garrulous

SLAP44:
Same people again. What do you gain by spreading hate?

They are almost succeeding,they want the south divided to cover for their deceit of not honouring rotation and make it look like the south willingly gave them to continue 2023 is for the South either they like it or not

Vulcanheph:
What do You expect from a man who is supposed to be in a retirement home.....if he was born in 1935 that means that he is 84 This 2019........so someone should tell me in which advanced country do You have an Octagenerian still working.

Nigeria Buhari

Anyone that lies will steal

gazza07:
I support buhari on this one. Let me continue with his foolishness and spend more unnecessary money chasing shadows. He shld swallow his pride, humbly call these pipu for dialogue and settle out of court. Just the way he was searching for oil in maiduguri and lake Chad basin.

Man is notorious for being dumb and daft

And you guys keep voting him,is it that you like dumb things

Limitednow:


The cabal is really giving the SW sleepless nights.

It's either the SE are allowed to have their own share or the North continues ruling, short and simple.

that is what the North wants don't fall for it, the north is very adept at divide and rule to get what they want
The Ibos should make a strong case for 2023 they may get by persuading other regions to joining,you will surprise the support you will get from South West,though excluding the tinubu faction because they are also interested
The Ibos have a strong case but should resist making any enemies for themselves,which is what those that wants to perpetuate themselves in power want them to do

ursullalinda:
It's so bad now that all we read is accusations and counter accusations. Every one seems to be a liar and to worsen it, journalist don't investigate before releasing the news. So who do we believe?

journalism died with the military era, this civilian era the politicians and journalist are buddies

NkemChukwudi:
Absolute hogwash! Nonsense and senseless anti-Buhari narrative (from the East I bet!)

Anybody who says Babangida came to the rescue is either MAD or an irredeemable ignoramus.

You term them "essential commodities" yet you cannot (to this day) produce them? The Shagari regime had already stolen all the available dollars so what exactly did the expect the Buhari regime to pay for the imports? The banks in Europe refused to accept letter of credit from the Nigerian central bank yet some Nigerian fools expect the Buhari regime to continue with food importation without money.

Oga please go and revise your history very well. Buhari did not introduce hunger to Nigeria, it is the Nigerian people that refuse to go back to the farm to grow enough food to cater for the population. At least 50% of the people in Lagos, Abuja and other major cities should be on the farm instead of wasting away in Lagos hungry, unemployed, poor and making babies.

Keep blaming Buhari......

Nobody is blaming buhari just pointing out the fact that it is in his nature to bring hardship on his citizens whenever he is in power including Huma right abuses and censoring of the media,these are consistent with him
Why don't you ask your self how others were able to avoid some of these
It is in their style
Did those queues not disappear under babangida
You are blaming the people, did your buhari provide the right leadership to inspire people to unleash their creativity and do all those you are talking about all you guys knows is to abuse and call people names

CarlsJaz567:
While am not holding brief for Buhari, nor am I an ardent supporter, yet I need to correct your historical narration because I was old enough at the time to recount what really happened.

The queue for essential commodities at the time was not especially due to Buhari's policies inflicting hunger on the people, but the people were already impoverished under Shagari and it was no longer easy or cheap to purchase food items like milk, vegetable oil, sugar, rice etc. Buhari, therefore, ordered that provision of these food items, most of which were hoarded in warehouses, should be distributed to the people. He essentially continued in Shagari's policies of austerity measures, reducing importation of food items etc and refused to devalue the Naira. He, however, sought to make up for the hardship the people were facing by distributing food to people who otherwise wouldn't have had access to it.

it was his policies aggravated the situation and he did not distribute anything to anybody,he just use his WAI to ensure people queue orderly for the products
The truth is that he can never change he is as he was over 30years .if it is not shagari causing problems for him,it is Jonathan
But the fact speaks for itself

technuel:
If any of you voted for this adminstration I promise , thunder will strike you inside the plane on your way out of the shithole.
Look at how people are now queing to migrate out of this shithole
And our RUGA president is busy disgracing his ancestors in UNGA
Very soon Canada's economy will become stronger all thanks to the input of Nigerian professionals.

my brother am just amazed at how history is repeating itself with this buhari,during his reign as a military head of state this same scenario played out people were also leaving in droves then,even hunger too was pervasive then as it is now,people were queuing to get milk,rice,sugar and other necessities which were termed essential commodities then
Before babangida came to the rescue
You can now imagine people routing for the same person to come and re enact same scenario are people not crazy or cursed

unohbethel:
Finally my brothers and sisters,Bubu have been, is and will always be the worst president we will ever have

you can't say Nigerians have the capacity to do the absurd,after his disastrous first time do ever think any sane Nigerian will re elect him but see what we have,he is still there doing what he knows best

PoliticalWitch:
Keep in mind that our refineries, even at full capacity cannot meet domestic need.(The last one was built 33 years ago).

Keep in mind that the whole subsidy thing too isn't allowing new investors build new refinereis....(Doangote is building his reifiery via loans. And fuel subsidy means he would be operating at a loss).

Keep in mind we need 3 or 4 new big refineries at $10bn each (our reserve is $44bn)....all of which HAVE to operate at a profit....which subsidy won't ;let them operate at....

That's why we cannot stop importation. There would be fuel scarcity enmasse.

And, yes, GSM correlates. Because government did not bring in subsides and price controls for the GSM companies...they poured in investment that built our GSM infrastruccture...and prices for SIM went down from N10000 a sin in 2003 TO N1000 or less today. All without government spending any money.

fuel is a social commodity, GSM is not a necessity ,both can't be treated same way
For petroleum products the country has a comparative advantage,which the citizens should benefit
The cost on subsidy are made of cost of transportation,insurance,clearing,demourage, cost of refining plus profit,which will be eliminated if the product is refined in Nigeria, the country also gain in terms of job for its youths
The current practice is being penny wise pound foolish
This is fuel by greed and corruption
The amount wasted on subsidy is enough to built refineries that will meet our needs and those in the West African sub region,from which foreign exchange can be earned and will also end smuggling of petroleum products across our borders,which is simply business responding to gaps

daddytime:
The Prof. Should have known of this based on the case stated as precedence. I'm sure he was the then AG of Lagos State.

Don't mind the guy he wan form saint

PoliticalWitch:
Well, if subsidy is removed, there would be some hardship...but then all those people who have been licensed to build refinereis would build them, plus foreign and local investment would flow in

This would lead to improved production, which means lower prices. Need I say that there is the added benefit of more jobs.

We tried this for GSM....we allowed the GSM companies to come in and set their prices. Because there were no price controls, investment flowed in. (And the GSM companies built all the infrastruicture themselves...government did not build anything)

This is a false narrative that they have been trying to push unfortunately because they ve been at for some time people have started taking it as the truth
The issue of subsidy is a form of punishment from a wicked government stop importation and subsidy will stop
How is it convenient to be throwing away trillion annually instead of investing same in refineries,which will end subsidy and lower prices and even create massive jobs
My brother the issue of subsidy can never be justified to a knowledgeable object person
GSM and petrol don't have anything common

saaron:
What do they expect from a terrorist/coup plotter buhari? Do they think that an illegitimate govt with record breaking disobedience to court orders and impunity will obey any court order? It amazes me that grown ups who should know better, especially those who witnessed's buhari's military regime in 1983 believed buhari, a coup plotter is a reformed democrat. Buhari and democracy are two straight lines that will NEVER meet.

***
Those hailing Sowore as a national activist who fought Abacha's evil military regime should know that activist who fought military rule, only to support the election of a military Coup plotter have rubbished their resume's.

with this buhari regime,babangida is the greatest beneficiary at least he has been vindicated in his life time,that he did this country a great favour then,and he is a true patriot

Officialgarri:
The above was Buhari's call for revolution. Revolution via election..... In 2011


The above was a call for revolution by Sowore on July 25, 2019.
And I hope we can see the difference.
Call for Revolution before election via ballot boxes
And
Call for revolution after losing an election by toppling a democratic government.

from what planet are you guys from,nigeria will forever regret allowing people of your ilk to ever hold power in Nigeria,lieing is your second nature and everything is done with evil intent
Those were not the exact words of sowore
It is calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it
Am not a fan of sowore for helping his traducers to power,his action then has brought untold hardship to Nigerians because the people he helped to power has no capacity to handle the position they now occupy

topboss:
HIM MASTER!

so Na for only Nigeria he dey show muscle
Him Na half man

topboss:
THE BUSINESS WAS DONE IN NIGERIA JURISDICTION NOT UK.


YET BUHARI IS GOING TO APPPEAL IN UK COURT, INSTEAD OF SAYING NIGERIA GOVERNMENT DONT RECOGNISE UK JURISDICTION.


BUHARI WANT TO PAY UK BILLIONS MORE FOR SUPPORTING HIM.

Why can't he just ignore it, is it not a court order,he is famous for not obeying court orders,what is different with this one now,that is causing noise everywhere

NaijaCelebrity:
this timi frank should be arrested for false allegation

was osinbajo arrested,when he was doing same to others,he will even be calling non existent figures , can he now see how it feels to be given media trial
What goes around comes around

PoliticalWitch:
That's the main thing...then there is the forgery.

Plus there is a solution to this issue....remove fuel subsidy. That dries up the money for people like Abubakar Peters...and forces them to work for their money.

In fairness to the evil crook....he is importing fuel at a loss under the subsidy regime. Landing costs is N200 and above, then he has to sell the fuel to marketers at below N145....and all government pays him is the difference. So he scams government by making subsidy claims for fuel not imported...and then makes a profit.

Some guys import fuel, then smuggle it to countries like Benin and Niger Republic where they sell fuel at above N300...and make their profit that way.

Remove fuel subsidy...sure we would be paying crooks like these high money for improting fuel. But the foreign and local investment that would flow in to build new refienreis, and new support strutrctures will soon bring increased production, reduced prices, and put people like Mr Peters in the positon of either adapting or getting out of buisness since there is no subsidy money to claim again.

You are advocating more hardship for the already improvished Nigerians
The only solution is for the government to find a of refining our petrol here how ever they do it
It is the job of government to do that don't shift it to the masses in form of subsidy removal,subsidy is caused by importation we don't have business Importing petroleum products a commodity we have comparative advantage of

ntyce:
What's your own corrupt lawyer?

You're a PDP man, why are you so much interested in APC internal wranglings?

Why cry more than the bereaved?

corrupt just like Wole olanipekun

Everytime Na maryokun's mother , the guy no get father ni,make una also talk about the father for balance

atarapa:
Okon Abang where are you? I taught you are good in getting good judgment for FG

He has been replaced by Justice taiwo taiwo,he is the one now doing what abang use to do before

magoo10:
This is coming from an unsuccessful minister of power after boasting to revive the sector within 6months.

Buhari have affected the brain of many that even professors will come and tell you how good it is to borrow.
maybe their fore father's will come and pay for the debts someday

if he actually said that,has it not confirmed why he has not been a successful minister , that his famed success as a governor was due to media propaganda which he heavily funded
Going by his logic, the world Bank and other reputable world financial institutions are back yard Economist,what qualifies him as an economist
He is just looking for ways to justify the borrowing which they will loot,what did they do with previous borrowing
The Government revenue streams can not support government unintelligent borrowing,thats the issue

This is just image laundry,buhari wants to look civilized among the presidents from other civilized country
Sowore is lucky UNGA is going on
This old man with his old ways of doing things would not release him
Is Justice taiwo taiwo now their official judge , that does their dirty jobs
