kozykid: haters will continue to hate.. Am sure u tried getting admission into the ivory tower but denied admission each time u tried

dasparrow: Nigerian bred men should not be looking for virgins because there is no week that passes by that I don't read another sad pathetic story of a female child as young as 2 years of age getting raped by some h*orny adult bastard in Nigeria. So forget virgins because virgins don't disvirgin themselves.

KingMichael777: I believe it was the Garamantes civilization that first did mummification. And I also believe they may have been early Fulani people.

james1: where were they when the rest of the world were inventing things?
Even young men that are working hard to get even are not encouraged by most men around them
They will preach to us about tradition and culture;where has that taken us?
Culture of what?see how underdeveloped Nigeria is?
If our forefathers had not allowed themselves to be brainwashed like crazy,what man will sell his kin into slavery?
Mehn!

Demdem: u dey mind these fools. when i was doing the little within my power in canvassing support for those fighting turai in making sure the retardeen becomes president when Turai confirmed him to her kitchen, i wasnt an hater then oooo. Now that i demand responsive and non-crumbs dividends of democracy, i be hater besides where were these ones then?

Demdem: But Evil Boko is Nigerian government afterall its no news that PDP = Evil Boko.
US got this wrong IMO

berem: I blame the yeye photographer who didn't do his work well.at least oga presido for say "CHEESE" instead of posing like someone who is tired of life!

acidtalk: THIS IS A BRIDGE OF SECURITY.

This is a treasonable act to the highest order.

Snapping a whole president (without his permission) in the office is one of the biggest security Flaws in the history of Nigeria.

This goes to tell Jonathan and his government that even his security details HATE him so much and are all just bloody hypocrites.

I fear for the safety of this man and his family because he doesn't have any secret again.

Watch out, they might soon bring his picture of him in the bathroom.

But in as much as I don't like Jonathan's policies, I feel this is just very unfair for a President.

waja: #10 and #20 are inviting all of you for their survival party becos the introduction of #1000 note killed #1 and #5. So they survived after a brief illness caused by #5000 note.

yuzedo: How do we know that this whole N5000 note issue is not a smoke-screen to divert the attention of Nigerians from more pertinent issues?

Jeboy: Kudos to the Fed Govt on dis, it seems GEJ is bent on proving his critics wrong oh.

Please sir we also need a blue print on how you intend to reduce the earnings of political officers to civil servant type of salary. Please do that for Nigeria and you will ever be remembered for good. I know Power will be delivered cos I still enjoy 18-20 hrs per day consistently for 3months now. With the award of Discos (PHCN Distribution Companies), I believe Nigeria is gradually and surely moving forward towards deliverance from blackout previous govt. you inherited from previous govt

President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday forwarded a 2013-2015 medium –term expenditure framework and fiscal strategy paper to the Senate.

The president in the document disclosed that the share of recurrent spending in aggregate expenditure is set to further reduce from 71.47 percent in 2012 to 68.7 percent in 2013 while capital expenditure as a share of aggregate spending is set to increase from 28.53 percent in 2012 to 31.3 percent in 2013.

He said that in line with the policy of consolidation, the fiscal deficit is expected to continue on a declining path from 2.85 percent of GDP in 2012 to 2.17 percent in 2013.

According to the president, the federal government will sustain its efforts to increase revenue as well as that of capital spending in total expenditure, reduce the fiscal deficit and the corresponding borrowing requirement to a more sustainable level.

He further said that government intends to further strengthen fiscal consolidation by scaling back it’s spending and creating a prosperous environment for a private sector led growth.

In furtherance of this, it stated that government would rationalize the large number of agencies based on the recommendations of the Oronsaye committee.

President Jonathan noted that in the light of the huge amount paid on petroleum subsidy in 2011, the government will streamline the management of the subsidy scheme by strengthening the audit and verification process.

He further said that in line with the oil-price based fiscal rule, a cautious oil benchmark price of $75 per barrel has been chosen for 2013-2015 period while oil production of 2.53 mbpd, 2.61 mbpd and 2.65 mbpd will be adopted for the 2013, 2014 and 2015 fiscal years respectively.

danjohn: Where is your link to a credible source? As far as I am concerned you could be feeding us bear parlor gist. We need a source.

Orikinla: Dear President Goodluck Jonathan,
You need to face the facts in your administration and stop living in denial of the short comings and failures of government since your ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won the presidential election in May 1999 and with majority in the election of the state governors, legislators and local government areas chairmen and chairwomen and thus giving you more powers in control of the Nigerian government than the opposition since 1999 to date. But what have you all achieved so far?

Even your boss and godfather the former president Chief Olusegun Obasanjo said things were better when he was in office compared to you and your predecessor the late Alhaji Umaru Yar’Adua and for majority of Nigerians things are getting worse and not better. And you always say you are not the cause of the woes of Nigeria, that they were already plaguing Nigerians before your election. But what have you done to address them and implement your so called Transformation Agenda?
You have told us your agenda since over 18 months ago, but where is the transformation?

I have already enumerated all the shortcomings and failures of your administration in several articles which none of your hired political sycophants could refute and again how come that illegal bunkers have been stealing more of our crude oil now that you are in power than before as Nigeria is losing over $5 billion (N780 billion) yearly to crude oil thieves when your own self-appointed ex-militants have been paid millions of dollars to protect oil pipelines and other installations?
Did you know that Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) said that Nigeria can end illegal bunkering of our stolen crude oil in 30 days if your security agencies stop being the accomplices and partners in crime with these notorious crude oil robbers?

Who were the sea pirates that killed Captain Romeo Itima, Managing Director of Global West Vessel Specialist Limited, an oil bunkering surveillance company owned by ex-militant leader, Government Ekpemupolo, alias Tompolo who was contracted by the Federal Government to provide security and monitor the nation’s coastal waters against oil thieves?

How come ex-militants are now doing the job of the Nigerian Navy?
If you are really transforming Nigeria as you have boasted, why is your beloved wife First Lady, Aunty Dame Patience Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan flown overseas to a foreign hospital and now being treated for an undisclosed ailment in Germany and not at the National Hospital in Abuja?

How many million of naira of Nigerian Tax payers’ money have you spent so far on foreign medical trips for yourself, wife, families, relations, ministers, other public officials and your beneficiaries, including your unofficial first lady?

Do you know how many millions of dollars Nigerians spend annually for better healthcare overseas, because Nigerian hospitals don’t have the modern medical facilities to care and save the precious lives of majority of Nigerians?

Sir, do you know that there is only 1 doctor to over 33, 000 Nigerians when the global recommendation is 1 to 1, 000 people?
Is this not enough to declare a state of emergency in the health sector?

Why not give full scholarship to all students of medicine in Nigeria and send brilliant medical students to America, the UK and Japan to be trained at modern schools of medicine and teaching hospitals of world class standards?
Or you have no such plans in your transformation agenda?

How many government hospitals have MRI Scanners?
How many of the consulting rooms in general hospitals have Sphygmomanometers?

If your ministry of education is really being transformed, then why should Nigerians spend N160 billion annually on university education in Ghana, more than Nigeria’s annual budget for education in 2011?

If you are really performing as you claim, why did 800 companies shut down in Nigeria due to harsh and insecure operating environment and others have relocated to Ghana?

Why have you not revived the textile industry that can employ millions of jobless Nigerians?

How many jobs have you created so far to employ the 33 million jobless Nigerian youths?
Have you seen the Al Jazeera documentary on Nigeria: The Young And The Jobless?

Major" achievements you said.

Do you have any idea of the extent of

meticulous work been done in the

Power Sector not just in the marked

improvements in Generation,

Transmission and Distribution but

esp in the Privatization and

concessioning of the sector? Are you

aware of the effects the reforms,

which is currently in its concluding

stage(Sept/Oct this year), would

have on the nation? This admin is

midwifery the greatest

transformation in the Power Sector

in this country's history.

The nation is also undergoing its most

audacious developments in the

Transportation Sector- Rails, Inland

Waterways and Seaports. On rails,

the NRC that have been moribund for

very many years have been revived,

more workers re-engaged and most of

its dilapidated facilities across

the nation repaired; all the rail

tracks in the country are been

rehabilitated(actually most of the

tracks have been rehabilitated

already and some intra- and

interstate trains services have

started running after a very long time

in deed). The Standard Guage

Itakpe-Aladja-Warri rail track is

finally completed(with additions

planned) while the Modern Abuja-

Kaduna track is on going(about 30%

completion) just as the Double track

Lagos-Ibadan Modern(which is

different from the narrow guage

Lagos-Ibadan which is already

running trains) has been awarded

about 3 months ago.

On Inland Waterways, the dredging of

the Lower Niger which links 9 states

on its axis and provide south-north

all year round navigation which

would ensure the cheap movements of

huge amounts of goods and humans,

has been completed with some

accompanying River Ports for the

first time in the country's history;

the dredging of River Benue has also

commenced.

The Seaports now work 24/7,

bureaucracy reduced and the amount of

time goods spend in the ports has

been halfed already(though not yet

up to the 48hrs target) while

Demorage costs have significantly

decreased(when was the last time you

heard of goods staying months on the

seas cos terrible congestions in the

pots and paying huge demorage).

Do you have any idea of the effects of

all theses on the economy going

forward especially as they are been

interconnected?(works on Roads need

to be accelerated though).


The most massive rehabilitation and

remodeling of airports across the

nation with about 11 of them is

ongoing; Kano International Airport

is for instance nearing completion.

Do you have any idea what kind of

work is going on in the Agriculture

Sector?

AjanleKoko: Laughable.
You don't even know how to quote a post properly on Nairaland, for heavens sake. And you're calling someone dumb.
You're obviously one of the many people on here who have progressively shat out their brains over time. Shake your head for a minute, does it echo back to you? That's because there's nothing in it

lacicrips: Sure these guys don't participate on the Nairaland forums too?

passionate88: if it's purely political, why don't they bomb mosques?, why was there religious (islamic) materials in there hide out?, why do they mainly attack Christians and Churches?... We are not kids... We know boko haram is a branch of islam, they are fightin a jihad against the ar'ne, they said it so don't come here trying to say otherwise.. Or are u in the dept of islam that try to decieve the public that it's political?..

nasty45: U MEAN AFTER 9 MONTHS?MAKE DS MAN NO MK US VEX IF NOT NA ASO SMAL WE GO COM SCATTER....DS IS THE HEIGHT OF MADNESS FRM DS PRESIDENT...I MEAN I'V NEVA INSULTED HIM BUH THIS IS THE PEAK....SB PLS PASS ME D GAFFI

jmaine: Shotput harbors the most potent array of nutrients . . .

You will be wowed by the muscular and healthy farm produce . . .

ballabriggs: Back to sleep. Wake me up when the first bag of rice lands.

BetaThings: I suggest you leave Otuoke people out of this. Some of them would be embarrassed by some of the things the guy says. No need to polarise the country further. Otherwise there would lose the moral right to speak against people like Sir Edwin Clark

ifeci: Google is ur friend
