I thought it was our 9ja SARS I don draft letter of leave inside my head already.

Is this a joking matter?

Am not surprised. If u think Nigeria is poor just get a govt appointment or go into politics u would think otherwise.

State assembly members ate very rich in there states talk of national assembly. If u want to know how rich Nigeria is, ask yourseld that's its been over 20years abacha died and uptil now they are still recovering his loot, the kind of loots they keep recovering is always above a 100million DOLLARS.

In the world of Nigerian politics 1million dollars is a small word but to we citizens that's huge.

God help us

Nigeria isn't rich, it's just that few people (Government Heirachy) are controlling the money

That's where I am currently doing my internship ... It was a horrible day today. We have been isolating the affected transformer so we can power back the switch yards. Hopefully, that will be done before noon tomorrow. We will only be faced with the challenge of loading as one transformer alone rated 150mva can't take care of a feeding load of over 200mva. We might have to shed load in some areas. Anyways it was an experience today.

sorry about the experience, hope no one was hurt. 150MVA? That's huge...what's the Input/output voltage ratio?

Bibidear:
there is light in my area....

really? where is your area?

Kallmerb:
This is just the beginning... Am sure there will be more across the state.. We only make laws that affect the masses not the rich...

Dopemu to ikeja along no be small waka ooooo

The masses mean nothing in Nigeria, they are only useful for voting in elections.

No more bus from Dopemu to Oshodi?

Will those who attack islam/muhammed because of terrorist boko haram activities now condemn christianity and jesus because of this failed attack against a church by a Christian man? Hypocites, see how they are keeping mute.

Why would a Christian attack a church? We know those that are attacking Christians

Dinosaur fossils have been found in Antarctica, so not surprised about South Africa

chozzy:



That's why there are bridges na

Ok. I used to think Bonny was very far from the mainland.

This road link is long overdue then.

Someone with the knowledge help me out. Will this Bonny-Bodo road be a road on the Sea, because Bonny to my knowledge is an Isolated Island off the mainland of Rivers state.

The seat has to shoot the passengers several feet into the air and the force opens the parachute. Many action films around 1990 embraced this concept. I'm shocked this wasn't embraced in this Chopper's design. Although having engineering systems is one thing the discretion of the air craft operator is another thing

Is this seat ejection you talk about possible in a Chopper? The rotor blades could slice up the ejectees

LordeCalifornia:


If the blade disengages, it goes a different way, killing a different set of people, while the chopper would still eventually crash, killing another set of people. Leaving only the people on board as the survivors. But if the blades stay put to the chopper, a lesser fatality would be meted out on innocent passersby.

Parachuting the entire chopper would suffice, the parachute could be positioned in a way that the rotating blades would not affect the suspending ropes.

Good suggestion, but such a parachute may not work in a spiralling(as is likely to be) craft about to crash

jaxxy:


Not the rotor itself bt the compartment housing it or Smtn. Or a bottom or rear door ejection System. Like a shell.

Well, my suggestion would be an inflatable exterior to withstand high impact

jaxxy:


Nothing is impossible. I’ve given it a thought. The rotors on malfunction shud be able to disengage and go off then a parachute launched.

A rotor that can disengage is probably too much a risk

greypencils:
Send me your CV

lol
And after calling to find out how far...

Don't worry yourself, just relax.

it take so long for me to fall in love with ladies younger of my age and my age mates. she made me fall in love with older ladies though I've outgrown that now

Sounds like you were sexually abused. The lady abused her post. That's if this is a true story

Lush100:
haha my guy,
the hope ur guy is talking about is coming from his backyard.
the patience is from his front yard
the power will come from his i-pass-my-neighbour generator,
strong naira will come from herdsmen from Niger as forex for naira,
fuel price reduction will come from the exploration of crude Northern NIgeria petroleum Corp(nnpc) has been looking for up North for the past 5 yrears in zamfara and borno,
low fuel subsidy will come after serving third or fourth term
improved security will come from bokoharam
police humanity will come from sars,
massive Exodus back to Nigeria will come when another speech on lazy youth will touch our people in diaspora,
election orderliness will come from kongi and kaduja govt after monkey and baboon no longer have blood.
nepotism will end from kastinah duarah,
lawful and orderly obeying court order can not come at all
my brother
patience is coming or came from bayelsa state(mama peace)

Quite funny, provocative, but true

desiredhome:

One of the virtue Nigerians lack is patience, they want to plant now and reap the next minute, to those people even when the government brings the best policy, to those people it's rubbish because they have comform their mind to negativity

Where is the improvement to give us hope?

No Power, Weak Naira, Fuel price increase despite high subsidy, Insecurity, Police brutality, massive exodus of our brightest minds to Europe and America, Election violence, Sectionalism (Nepotism), No connection between government and the people, Lawlessness.

Where is the hope or patience coming from?

President Muhammed Buhari is celebrating his 77th birthday today, 17th December 2019

Facts Revealed: Why Buhari is Nigeria’s Best President (Economy, Investment, Agriculture and Social Investment)

By: Alwan Hassan

INTRODUCTION

I cannot remember who once said that if you try to deny the truth, it does not change the facts. This is where we are in Nigeria today, with the significant achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

In the first part of this series, we examined infrastructure — highlighting why the greatness of the Buhari presidency is hinged on the sustainable impact of many of its policies, programs, and projects. In this part, we will be discussing how and why President Buhari’s economic, investment, agricultural, and social investment programs are unparalleled in the history of our nation.

AGRICULTURE

First of all, to give us an insight into some of the notable achievements of Buhari’s administration, during his first term as a democratically-elected President, in 2017 alone, Nigeria’s agricultural exports grew by an outstanding 180.7% above its 2016 value.

Similarly, the Anchor Borrowers Programme (ABP) of the Central Bank of Nigeria, to encourage farming across Nigeria, has made available N82 billion in funding to 350,000 farmers of rice, wheat, maize, cotton, cassava, poultry, soybeans, and groundnut. So far, these farmers have helped to cultivate over 400,000 hectares of land — leading Nigeria to become more self-sufficient when it comes to the provision of basic food items.

It is important to also point out that the ABP has substantially raised the local production of rice in the country. As it currently stands, yields have doubled from 2-3 tonnes per hectare while Nigeria’s paddy production has doubled compared to its 2014 levels.

Between 2016 and 2018, eight new rice mills have come on-stream in Nigeria, a situation that has increased the country’s milled rice production by about 60 percent, from 2.5 million metric tonnes in 2015, to 4 million metric tonnes in 2017. There is also more than a billion dollars private sector investments in the production of rice, wheat, sugar, poultry and animal feed, since 2015 — this shows that many more Nigerians have returned to the farm and reaping significant rewards.

Additionally, there is also the Livelihood Improvement Family Enterprises (LIFE) programme which was initiated by the Buhari administration. This program, which is aimed at bringing life back to rural communities through the empowerment of youth, women and other vulnerable groups across the country, is geared towards promoting community-based on-farm and off-farm business activities as a model for job and wealth creation amongst unemployed youth and women in rural and suburban households. As the programme continues to grow, it is expected to establish over 150,000 cooperatives nationwide under commodity value chain groups.

The Buhari administration has made provision of agricultural credit for financing the production of rice, wheat, ginger, maize and soybeans in Kebbi, Niger, Kaduna, Kano, Enugu, Benue, Zamfara, Anambra and Kwara States.

Still, in a bid to aid the growth of the agricultural sector, fourteen moribund Fertilizer Blending Plants have been revitalized so far under the Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI); with a total capacity of 2.3 million metric tonnes of NPK fertilizer.

The Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (which involves a partnership with the Government of Morocco, for the supply of phosphate), has thus far resulted in the revitalization of 14 blending plants across the country, with a total installed capacity over 2 million metric tonnes. The benefits include annual savings of US$200 million in foreign exchange, and N60 billion annually in budgetary provisions for fertilizer subsidies. The Scheme has also made it possible for farmers to purchase fertilizer at prices up to 30 percent cheaper than previously available.

ECONOMY

Shifting to the economy, the Buhari administration has made concerted efforts in resuscitating the economy which was worst hit by the 2016 – 2017 recession. The inflation rate has fallen from about 17% to the current 11.61%. Nigeria’s External Reserves have risen from $29 billion in May 2015 to $42 billion in 2019.

Tax Revenue increased to N1.17 Trillion in Q1 2018, a 51% increase on the Q1 2017 figure, following the addition of six million new taxpayers to the tax base in an effort by the Buhari administration to diversify government revenues.

Solid Minerals’ contribution to the Federation Account outstandingly rose from N700 million in 2015 to N3.5 billion in 2017.

Moreover, US$1.7 billion has been saved by the Buhari government following negotiations to reduce the US$6.8 billion accumulated in NNPC/IOC Joint Venture Cash Call arrears to US$5.1 billion. While for Nigeria’s non-oil export earnings, for the first time in Nigeria’s history, it reached a record high of 577 billion naira between January and March 2018.

Similarly, under the Buhari administration, the Nigerian Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) has seen fresh inflows of US$1.15 billion since 2016, and more than N300 billion in private sector investments in the rice value chain since 2015.

Nigeria has moved 24 places upwards in World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business rankings since 2018, earning a place on the list of top ten reforming economies in the world. Nigeria has similarly moved 22 points upwards in the Global Competitiveness index. Of course, the Buhari-led Federal Government has made investments in modular refineries, to ease the fuel situation in the country.

The Bank of Industry under this government has disbursed more than N160 billion in loans since 2016, just as the Nigerian Stock Market ended 2017 as one of the best- performing in the world, with returns over 40 percent.

An average of US$1 billion is recorded as weekly turnover through the new FX Window introduced by the CBN headed by Godwin Emefiele in April 2017. This attracted about US$25 billion in inflows in its first year, and a total turnover of $47.14 billion – indicating rising investor confidence in Nigeria.

President Buhari on November 4, 2019, assented to the Bill amending the Deep Offshore (and Inland Basin Production Sharing Contract) Act, which is projected to generate an est. $500 million in additional revenues for the Federal Government in 2020, and over $1 billion from 2021.

SOCIAL INVESTMENTS

Above all else, the Buhari government has proven to be pro-masses with the incredible success recorded with its celebrated Social Investment Programme (SIP), which has been praised as the largest and most ambitious program in the country’s history, with a clear focus on the most vulnerable of our population.

Notable for its aim of investing in people, the four components of the Social Investment Programme, have yielded tremendous successes. For example, the Home Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP), has witnessed massive enrolment in primary schools in participating states as over nine million pupils are being fed at schools with one nutritious meal per day. The Buhari-led Federal Government has so far paid out over N66 billion to the 26 states currently enrolled in the scheme.

The Buhari administration also supports nearly 300,000 Nigerians with a monthly cash transfer of N5,000 to lift them out of absolute poverty. The Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme provides targeted monthly Base Cash Transfer of N5,000 to the poorest and most vulnerable households in the country, to lift them out of absolute poverty. This scheme runs across 26 states with N12.8 billion so far disbursed to beneficiaries.

With over 500,000 Nigerian graduates, selected from 36 states, and being paid a monthly stipend of N30,000 to work in various sectors like education, health, agriculture, construction, etc, the N-Power scheme is undoubtedly the largest post-tertiary employment programme in Africa. This has also — to a large extent — reduced youth unemployment as many young people who take part in the program have been reported to go into self-employment immediately after, using the monies they saved up from the program.

Through the GEEP programme which consists of the FarmerMoni, MarketMoni and TraderMoni schemes, the Buhari government has disbursed N26.4 billion in interest-free loans, to over 1 million market women, traders, artisans and farmers across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT.

BUSINESS CLIMATE

As the Buhari administration works to improve Nigeria’s business climate, in line with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan, and the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP), which is hinged on the growth and support of MSMEs; and accelerating further investments in Nigeria, the Federal Government has also launched.
