great1: If Jonathan Dare Increase Tarriffs on imported cars, he should forget returning back to Aso Rock.. Seems like he doesn't care about the masses, how can he on one hand increase the age of cars imported into the country and on the other hand increase import duties...Until homemade cars are made affordable like in India, he shuld know that not everyone can afford these new cars...

Do we have Job security yet What laws are being put in place to strenghten workers right

Its hard to trust those dishonorable reps, and the laws they making... If its not favourable to the common man, then I dnt wana know.. But one thing that Jonathan and his croonies must remember is that, investors coming into the country are only coming here to rip the resources we have left and channel it back to their countries...

I think its time to make laws that will strengthen our society and empower the masses...

Enough of the stealing!!!!!!

So India, and other nations like China and Brazil, waited until 'home made cars were available' b4 they started instituting Tariff structures in order to protect its local Auto industry, right??

When will d House of Rep 'endorse' (pass) extremely important bills like d PIB Bill languishing b4 them like 4ever? That is what I wanna hear...

@MODS, when are you chaps taking this to d FP??

Jenams: GEJ get some sense pls! Come to ND and develop DSC. Leave all dis ungrateful elements alone! DSC needs ur fresh air!

You mean Delta Steel Cop, Aladja??

lastpage: Yea..... inflation drop my foot!
Do these cretins who publish these nonsense figures ever take a trip to the market to price foodstuff, even within a spate of thiry days and see the price hike?

****Wallops the "official publisher" on the head, with a frying pan*****

Lastpage!

And Who cares what an IGNORANT 'cretin' like you think?

simpleseyi: Yes, it is the opposition that used 225 million naira to buy 2 cars for Stella Oduah. It is the opposition that gave the militant called Government Tompolo money to buy private jet, it is the opposition that gave Asari Dokuboh money to build private university in Benin Republic. It is the opposition that gave Dr. Dame Sheppopotamus Jonathan money to buy 2 ships for transporting and selling stolen crude oil.

IJIOT. So you bliv everytin you hear, abi?? Sm of you think that at this stage, this is a joking mata...

kokoA: I urge ASUU to hold on, this government must bend. Our universities must be transformed!

Don't be a FOOOL, my frnd. 'This Govt must bend' u say; that is what is important to WEAK MINDS like you, right? If you bliv that it is possible for d Govt, any Govt for that mata in Naija, to smhow provide #500bn IN A YEAR for Infrastructure of Universities alone (and this is EXCLUSIVE of Polythetics, Colleges of Education, Secondary Skuls, Primary Skuls, AND d huge Salaries and Running costs of d entire educational system) when d entire Capital budget is #1.5trillion, then must be living in some far away lala land..... The unbelievable quests by sm of u chaps to do anytin, support anytin in a lame attempt to undermine one man, will lead to d destruction of this nation. See what that same quests is doing to d USA today...

Even an OLODO wud know that his was a Typo, and that he meant 16,000MW..

obitwo: Managing Director of the company, Lewis Tung, in his address, requested that the company be given the opportunity to take over two of Nigeria’s moribund steel companies, Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mills and Delta Steel.

Responding, Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Musa Mohammed Sada, said the Federal Government will be glad to grant the company the request if it is in its power, but noted that there are issues that will not make that possible for now.

“We have the encumbrance of having a legal issue attached to Ajaokuta Steel Rolling Mills and we are trying to sort it out. We will be glad to receive the proposal from them.”

docadams: My friend, he is making sense. Any serious student of international politics will know that being elected as a non-permanent member of the security council is mere glorification.
Be informed that previous milestone achieved by Nigeria at the UN makes this pale into insignificance.

Reali?? You don't say!... Just curious though: Are you a 'student' of International Politics yourself??

taharqa: This is d 1st time Nigeria wud be getting it almost back to back. It has NEVER happened. Nigeria isn't supposed to get there again afta serving out her term in early 2012; it is suppossed to hv gone to another WA nation, esp a Anglophone one. YET, d whole of ECOWAS endorsed Nigeria. The whole of AFRICA (AU) endorsed Nigeria. Gambia, who had a better claim to d seat cos it it was not supposed to go to Nigeria this soon, had to step down cos of Nigeria's focused Diplomatic offensive. All d 5 Permanent membas of d Council as well as leading nations in d world endorsed Nigeria's candidature . And now Nigeria got d 2nd highest vote in a secret ballot at d General Assembly, way above d required 2/3... And let me give you another perspective: this is d 5th time Nigeria wud be elected to d UN Security Council, 2 of which wud be mostly unda one President whilst other Presidents had the other 3 times. Go figure....

Oh! Sorry. I forgot to add d most important point: there is deep STRATEGIC reason Nigeria sought for this seat again this soon, and there is a reason all of Africa wanted Nigeria there again in spite of d usual turn-by-turn tin. It is a well coordinated move by d nation; your nation, and you shld be proud...

Aigipan: this isnt the first time Nigeria would get that position so what the heck?

Elliotwiz1: It's just like telling everyone on nairaland to vote for who will be a moderator between the both of us, then i decided to pull out and you won, the oga@dtop has nothing to do with the process, It's possible that if i had not stepped down i could have been voted into that post, same here, the contenders stepped down so only Nigeria is left and they automatically own that post.

Let me give you an advice: Stop 'talking' on issues you know NOTHING about, plz...

He shot himself in d leg by talking too much, even though he was mostly saying d truth... People shld learn to be more TACTFUL nx times

obitwo: I won't attribute this to GEJ

The investment is a consequence of Amosun's investment drive

SHUT ya mouth tha, you Clown...which Amosun?

Do you know anytin about how this Plant came about? Do you know who provided d main Fund for this Steel Plant ie where d Cop sourced its main finance from? Hv you ever heard of BOI? Do you know who control Steel policies, tariffs, etc, in any country??

Elliotwiz1: hehehe. It's not actually the work of GEJ, but It's a good development for the nation. Nigeria is always the first in Africa to ensure the safety of her sister, yet We're not a member of the UN security council... Most African countries can be controled like puppets by Western and european governments, but not Nigeria, they know that That's why they would never choose Nigeria if they have to handpick.

Reali?? So whose work is it then? Am all earz...

tinydev56: Well am afraid this also has its dis advantage.....if inflation in dis country continues to fall even below dis percentage the unemployment rate in dis country will still rise....a little bit of inflation has its own advantage on d economy.

Yea, you have a point: Upper Single Digit Inflation Rate (say 6%-9.9%) is usually d most ideal for Developing Economies, cos such Economies need to be sufficiently expansionary in terms of Growth in order to grow opportunities and create jobs; yet shldn't be in d double digit range (ie above 10%) in order to enhance Predictive planning by Investors and other Economic players in such Economies, as well as having a Moderating effect on Interest amd Exchange Rates..... Nigeria is right where it shld be in terms of Inflation Rates IF they can keep it stable at this Range. The CBN shld also reali be thinking of reducing d Interest Rate (tru its MRR) which is still unacceptably high...

zegbeye: “Reforms to the electricity and agriculture sectors could start to boost potential growth. Inflation has been in single digits all year, the lowest in five years and the longest stretch of single digit inflation since 2008. Policy rates are unchanged.”



It takes a true leader working silently without noise to reform the power and agricultural sector of this great country

Endorsed...

Sincere 9gerian: Work on the Yola Airport has been going on despite the very high level of insecurity in the state. FACT!

Don't mind that IJIOT, jöor. If smone wants to lie, let that person choose his/her carefully if he/she ever wishes to get away with it... I might not hv commented on this thread cos am feeling a bit tired but for that LIE from that chap...

mkmyers45: The Yola-Numan Road is a Lie...that road has been good since 2008/09...The Numan-Billiri Section has been and its still a disaster.Also there is NO noticeable infrastructual remodelling at the yola airport.

No noticeable infrastructural work at Yola Airport? Chei!! Bros, the fact that you can say the above bare-face lie about smtin I know very much about (which I know little about), renders yr other assertion very suspect...

plaindealer: What is shameless is this mindless and incompetent government throwing money in the gutter and deceiving Nigeria with obsolete and empty silos.

Where is the sense and wisdom in building silos with nothing to put in it?

The fact that the usual low mentality, shallow and marginally educated characters like you are dancing over this pointless absurdity and charade is not only amusing, it's very much expected..

Wud you not just SHUT ya mouth??

lorretta u: Thanks for Educating us

Hmmm? Is that you on ya Profile?? Odikwa egu...

omenka: If Marx were alive he would have been awed by you people's understanding of basic economic principles, one of which is that price is inversely proportional to inflation index...

Hehehehehe.... Bros, abeg no just allow me talk o

HNosegbe: Too many economic illiterates on this thread.

Instead of people to ask questions when they don't understand economic terminologies, they'll continue to display arrogant ignorance, to borrow the words of a friend of mine.

Anyway for those who care to understand, what the report is saying is that the RATE at which prices of goods and services has declined i.e prices are now increasing at the rate of 8% per annum as opposed to over 10% which used to be the case.

The objective of CBN's monetary policy is to reduce the rate of inflation so that prices can be more predictable.

A reduction in the rate of inflation does not mean that the price of garri has reduced.

God bless d teachers who taught you boo..... And you even spend yr time explaining to IGNORAMUSES

omenka: Nigeria's economic mechanisms are unlike any other in the world!! We are unique to boot!!
Only in Nigeria would the prices of goods and services continue on an upward trend while "inflation" drops!!! Karl Marx must be rolling in his tomb right now.

OLODO, do you even know what Inflation Rate mean??

idupaul: With this comment I now have some level of respect for you ( before this comment I ranked U with lizards I see on my fence). When U see White and call it white you should be commended because that's the only way this country will become a better place to live.

Are you MADT??

It wud feel sooo Good. TEMPORARILY.... Carry go

BigBen10: To all you half-wits attributing this achievement to GEJ. This is the work of Sanusi Lamido Sanusi(CBN governor) working in conjunction with Ngozi-Iweala (finance minister). Dont you go about praising GEJ as if he has the intellectual capacity to achieve this.

Good Lawd!!!

alexleo: Must you lie to support Jonathan? Didn't you read the news of how unilorin staff were quarrelling over how to share the 30 billlion eveb when they are not part of the ASUU struggle and ASUU told them that nobody is going to share the money until FG completes it? I have lecturer friends accross universities and NON of them have received any share of the earned allowances. You people can lie and its a shame. [/b]Jonathan came on media chat and told us that state universities have no conection with the ASUU strike but go to the link below and you ll see that state universities are going to benefit from this 100 billion naira[/b]. Horrible liars.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/10/ASUU-strike-re-yet-receive-n100bn-fg-vcs/

DONKEY, President Jonathan was talking about the State Univs in relation to d Earned Allowance and not Infrastructure. NO State Univ wud be paid from d #30bn released to Federal Univs for Earned Allowance.... As for the other issue, you can bliv whateva you want to bliv. Who cares?? You don't know me and what I do; so, when I say I can PERSONALLY confirm a tin and smone else say am lying, I wud just leave dat person to his/her beliefs. But just mind d words you use though..

take dat: Please brother, do not trade in lies. I asked that a link/source be provided to verify if any ASUU member admitted that he or she has received his or her allowance, and not conjectures or personal confirmation which cannot be publicly verified.

@take dat, I am telling you. I can PERSONALLY confirm that they hv bn paid their allowance, at least in Uniben. It is not a secret here; and moreova, my Prof hv personali confirmd he got over a million as payments (although only half of d money was paid to Academic staff). Call any of yr former Lecturers to confirm, and report their response here if you wish. As for link, there was a story last week where a faction of ASUU in Unilorin was warning d Skul's Authorities to stop paying d Allowance to staff (both Academic and Non-Academic) until they were involved whilst d other faction supported it; I wud hv posted d link but am presently browsing with my fone...... As for d non release of d #100bn Infrastructure fund to Universities yet, that shld not be surprising as you know the many processes needed (both necessary and unnecessary) b4 funds for Capital projects are released, unlike say Allowances/Salaries

Oduah has disappointed me on many grounds by this stu.pid move. And that is most unfortunate, esp for one that is not only one of d most Performing Mins in d current cabinet but perhaps one that hv done d most work in d Aviation Sector in Naija's history. How cud she have allowed herself to be messed up like this? What the ffuck is reali wrong with Nigerian Politicians How does she 'handle' this now...... If She leaves office today on account of this sillly move, I wud 'mourn' her; but then, she shld blame herself for bringing such on herself

[quote author=~Bluetooth]Mo'R'on

If it were to be Tinubu or fashola that were involved, I wondered if you'd still make this kind of comment.[/quote]Tinubu and Fashola have been involved in way worst things. The recent Scam that was d Lekki-Epe Concessioning/Unconcessioning Scheme, d SMOTHEST SCHEME ever conducted in this country's history, is just one of d many corrupt practices going on in Lagos. Many of u HYPOCRITES now pontificating on this very stu.pid and disappointing move by d Aviation Min, were conveniently Mute when the details of that scheme were broken. So SHUT ya mouth; many of us don't take u HYPOCRITES rantings as anytin but that..
