From your logic:

If Dokpesi had to rely on your supposedly blood money from your supposedly useless politicians to pay ordinary salaries to his staff, it shows how bad the economy has become that his business can no longer break even.


I know this is beyond your comprehension

It is on record that Dokpesi was never a good employer; even when GEJ was in power and he had access to state funds through Dasuki and others he still owed his workers.

We should not politicise every thing.

Oyindidi:
More like them.no get deeq to offer, silly girl

Haha! Deeq ke? U no go kill person with laughter. Maybe she meant those guys didn't have relationship plans.

Favourcharles23:
The question now is this, who shall we send and who will go for us. Who is able and willing to deliver Nigeria from the shackles of poor leadership and take us to the promise land!? Who?! Who?? Who

Very apt question. May you grow in wisdom.

sunnysunny69:
I live oversea, your presumption is wrong. Nigerians abroad are some of the educated and sophisticated immigrants any nation can ask for. The ones involved in crimes are a tiny fractions. Every countries on mother earth have criminals, if you live overseas you'll discover their citizens commit as much horrible crimes. From rape of months old babies to rape and abductions of adult to serial killers, arson , robbery, assault etc, difference is you can escape justice in Nigeria but in developed world the system will catch you someday.

You are mostly correct in your assertions about how Westerners too commit crime. However, Nigerians suffer a lot of negative profiling at ports of entry all over the world.

Nigerians have to consciously correct these perceptions by being law abiding and eschewing the get-rich-quick syndrome wherever we find ourselves.

Tolabell:
But I got voice notes from a reliable source

One usually gets this kind of 'news' from a reliable source who got it from another 'reliable source' ad infinitum.

We have all been victims of misinformation at one point or the other.

As a matter of principle, I have learnt not to broadcast any information that I did not verify.

Lol!
Why do you think Esther story best suits Osinbanjo's assignment in Nigeria POLITICS?

Nice question and perspective.

Obviously to discuss how to handle the aftermath of Obasanjo's bombshell.

Best way to handle it is for Buhari not to run. This system needs an overhaul.

In 2011, GEJ enjoyed tremendous goodwill but frittered it away. The cycle is repeating itself with PMB having enjoyed and frittered away a similar goodwill.

Nigerians should vote him out come 2019 to assert our power to hire and fire.

Shots fired: boom! boom!! boom!! And the thing goes.....

grandstar:
He sounds like a fantasist

Though he makes some sense that a balanced budget isnt a must, but imprudent borrowing by APC states has exposed the downside of his statement.

Rather, strenghening the revenue base of the FG and all layers of government by increasing tax revenues from the shameless 5%of GDP to at least 12% should be the goal.

The talk of reducing lending rates is sound and can only occur if the Central Bank ends the Naira substitution policy dollar oil earnings which consistently leads to excess money in circulation
Soludo wanted to end the substitution policy but was frustrated by Yaradua , governors and his enemies in the CBN.

The use of fiscal stimulus is a no no. With inflation at 15%, you'll simply push inflation further up and lending rates as well therefore negating the cheap cost of credit which he seeks.

Once interest rates crash to less than 10%, there will be little or no need for a mortgage policy. What home borrowers crave most are low morrages rates. That will natural boost the number of mortgages.

As for a peñsion policy, now is not the time. There is simply no money for that now. It will only boost recurrent expenditure. The family network is still strong and children still consider it their duty to take care of their parents.

You may need to have a rethink about the aptness of making provisions for some kind of social security for old people now.

The current scheme of things where the children are burdened with catering wholly for their aged parents would further strengthen the propensity of people for corruption. We should ask ourselves, how we expect people to live within their means when they have to cater for their aged parents, build house(s) without mortgage, buy automobiles without credit lines, cater for their own nuclear family, help to sort unemployed friends and then save for the rainy day.

The current practice places the youths in a situation where they start out their lives on a deficit whereas their global counterparts from developed economies do not have this burden.

Sometimes I wonder why it is so difficult for these herder's to embrace the modern method of cattle rearing instead of wondering about the whole country destroying farmlands which in turn results to unnecessary clash.
This herdsmen issue can only be solved by a serious government who Will put its feet on the ground and say enough is enough. If you don't won a ranch,then you are not allowed to rear cows.But this present administration has proven beyond reasonable doubt that they are not different from the nomadic herders themselves.

The herders cannot make the decision to embrace modern methods of cattle rearing because most of them are just employees working on behalf of our billionaires comprising of Fulanis, Hausa's and some southerners!

The cattle owners are the ones that have to embrace ranching but I guess they are afraid of the possible increase in their cost of operations.

omenkaLives:
Do the wives of these criminals ever attempt to impress it upon their spouses the lives they lead affect those around them negatively? Doesn't public perception matter to them?

This is what i don't understand to this day.

I was thinking along this same line but upon further reflection I thought it could be difficult to advise such a criminal without the wife incurring his wrath; I mean he could have killed her. Perhaps, you may think she could have ran away or divorced him; either of the options could lead to her being killed.

In this kind of situation, she takes instructions only. Not a good life to live, even for the woman.

sarrki:
I think the Fulani herdsmen should respect the law of the land of there host

When sharia was implemented in some northern states we non Muslim abide peacefully

What is good for the goose is also good for the gander

It is not even about the Fulani herdsmen 'respecting the laws of the land of their host', it is about them respecting the fact that Nigeria is a constitutional democracy and there are legitimate ways to address grievances.

If the Fulani herdsmen feel aggrieved by the antigrazing law they should approach the court to explain how it violates their rights instead of resorting to killing innocent people who didn't make the law.

Their demand for the abrogation of the law as precondition for peace in Benue flies in the face of logic though because it is on record that they had been killing people even before the enactment of the anti-grazing law.

kunleajaye:
Where would I have got the 10k from? You make it sound as if $10000 is something you just pluck out of the air.

You didn't have to respond to that post. Don't turn yourself into a nervous wreck. Try and stay in touch with your kids and keep working on yourself.


I think your wife needs to determine what she wants at this point in time, in a few months' time you will have some clarity as per where she is headed.

Keep working on yourself, make all the dough you can. Invest all your passion in your career now and pray for the best!

Warm regards.

Marriage and relationship do not actually survive on love alone.

If you have grown truly, you should have become futuristic to see that this lady can earn you money from business, take care of your kids and never leave.

YOUR problem now is that, you feel you can do better.. Like get a more educated, cultured and pretty woman. It is called the shiny Object syndrome.

The best relationships is one where the woman loves the most, man's job is to complement with logic.

If you you don't need her again, tell her to go but mark this day, you just threw out a rare gem.

You have echoed my thoughts and I think the op has made up his mind so I wouldn't bother to dissuade him from following his well thought out plan.

Oyindidi:
I no vex jare, na as him write say the girl na orphan vex me small

Yea I empathize with the girl too but the op may not be worthy of the girl and maybe there is something bigger awaiting her.

Donjazzy12:
That you are in a loveless marriage does not give you the impetus to recommend same for another person.

The gentleman you quoted did not state anywhere that he is in a loveless marriage! He only said he didn't love his wife at first sight.

Sometimes, you may be in possession of a rough diamond whose beauty you can only appreciate and love after polishing.

However, each person to his own tent!

Oyindidi:
Wicked somebody, tell her now and free her from this selfish relationship.
Na she be first person wey parents die? Ediot

rawpadgin:
hmmmm

Well, am 32 now.. .......

If you have the time and financial wherewithal, you can still take some classes. You don't need to aim at being a black belter.

Even, if you are 40 and you are recruited into the armed forces of most developed countries you would still be taken through martial arts for self defence.

rawpadgin:
I wanted to join this karate school 10years ago




but my temperament nor let me

Your temperament is one of the reasons you should have joined a karate or any other martial arts class.

That is because martial arts training stabilizes and calms your temperament. It improves your self confidence as well as toughen you physically and mentally.

freebrowsingtime:
Now, this is bugging me. WHY? Is his relatives there?
Which Message are they sending to him?

Obviously, someone with his wealth (If he is actually guilty) can simply vanish. Does this means they will destroy the whole town?
WHY the church?

What about his family members?
WHY didn't they burn down his house?

This issue bugs the hell out of me.

Yes, his father was in the church as reported. His father was shot at close range before they opened fire on others that were close to his father.

clevadani:
I can only shake my head at people who don't realize the importance what Sowore is doing.
This guy can actually decide to lie low and stop reporting, and it would have zero impact on his life. But he has decided to single-handedly take on the biggest problem facing Nigeria and instead of being supported by the masses, he is being ridiculed by the same masses.
Reading through this thread has given me a very clear idea why we are where we are. And this is why we produce the kind of leaders we currently have.

I realized the problem you just highlighted aeons ago. And that is why fighting for the common man on the street is an exercise in futility IMO.

This is the very reason why we are now lacking in genuine activists; because the guys you think you are fighting for would end up throwing you under the bus!

hostine316:
God bless you for this. I'm pretty sure you're well enlightened about the ordeal Lautech have been passing through all these years. Some idiots just saying nonsense on this topic.

It is pathetic that students are suffering from the actions of few greedy ones.

Management of LAUTECH can't be exculpated from the issues the school has.

This is not the university that the pioneers from O.A.U dreamt of; from Prof Oke (Pioneer VC) to Late Prof. Ayeni.

The Alumni association is not helping matters because some of the excos of the Alumni association are part of management in Lautech today.

The management needs to sit up. They can't be collecting money from government and be shouting autonomy when it comes to probity.

thoollz:
Na which kind govt b dis? These guys are not willing to pay anything, they r jyst wasting time by claiming all sorts, moat of d accounts mentioned are not even in existence again. The osun state govt specifically said that they don't have a single dime to pay when visited by parents. The idiot of a governor said during his days they went on strike, so why should we b an exception.

I SMH for those hoping that Nigeria will get better.



The union said they are not preventing them from auditing the school's accounts. Everything said up there is nothing but a lie

My brother LAUTECH's management is a disgrace and I say that with all sense of responsibility.

LAUTECH generates one of the highest sums from her Postgraduate programs using all manner of centres. They never release results on time playing all manner of games with the funds generated from the programs.

I will write about the plight of some ex students of the post graduate school who have not been given their results after 8 years.

The corruption in that place is endemic.

CharlotteFlair:
I bet you are Fashole's from your write up niccur?

I'm not into the business of engaging mannerless dolts who hide under the anonymity that the internet provides to call people names.

I enjoy intellectual discourse and apparently you are punching above your weight. I don't play in your league.

three:
Would you be kind enough to highlight the National Assembly portion of the FMPW's 2016 budget?

You seem to be privy to these figures based on you writeup

I do not enjoy any privity beyond what is available in the public domain.

That said, you may recall the allegations of Honourable Jibrin (former Chairman of Appropriations Committee, House of Reps).

The gentleman alleged, among other things, that Dogara and others inserted 2000 projects valued at 284 billion Naira in the 2016 national budget. Curiously, the National Assembly did not deny the allegations but argued rather it was within their rights to insert expenditure lines.

NwaAmaikpe:


The solution to Nigeria's problem is not political parties.

Milo, Bournvita, Cowbell Chocolate are all chocolate drinks
Same aa PDP, APC, APDA and APGA; they are all thieves.

We need a revolution wherein these whole stealing fake politicians will all be killed.

You have totally captured my sentiments. I wonder why the youths here expend their energy on APC vs PDP vs APDA vs APGA while the rapacious looting elites fraternize at their various clubs.

PDP, APC chieftains fraternize at Ikoyi Golf Club, Lagos Island Club and many others.

Fayose fraternizes with Aregbesola and Tinubu, yet some fellows here are ready to break their skulls for these people. Certainly, some mother's do have them!

CharlotteFlair:
The original intention was to embezzle it but for the cat and mouse relationship between the executive and legislature. No doubt, they would have invoiced a major part of it, the little returned was because they could not tie it to something untraceable. Fashola is a smart thief, they should always scrutinize his budgets very well and cut down any bogus demands.

Sadly it would be inappropriate to blame the ministries entirely for this unspent budgeted sum because of our untidy budgetary process, wherein national assembly members rework the budget by inserting expenditure heads after budget and without recourse to the preparer of the budget.

To break it down

1. A minister prepared his budget requesting N10000 for projects A, B, C, D.

2. The national Assembly inserts projects E, F & G for the members selfish interests and approves the total sum of N15000

3. The minister refuses to execute the projects initiated by the national Assembly members (rightfully so, because some of these projects such as village boreholes, lg Secretariat, town hall buildings et all are not the business of FG) and at the end of the fiscal year, retires the unspent funds.

4. Some Nigerians then accuse the minister of budget padding.

The practice of national Assembly inserting projects into budgets occured under OBJ, Yaradua, GEJ and is happening under PMB. Until they stop this practice it becomes difficult to hold the ministries accountable for not implementing projects that they neither initiated nor bought into.

Nigeria is a joke and we deserve the charlatans that parade themselves as our leaders.

The youths aren't thinking and the elites are riding roughshod on us by exploiting religious, ethnic and political differences!

CC Saraki, Tonyebarcanista, CharlotteFlair

PaChukwudi44:
My dear better face reality. Dino can never be successfully recalled as long as Saraki remains Senate president. Why didn't the presidency use its so-called presidential powers to remove saraki all this while it has been trying to.presidential powers ko residential powers ni

The fact that PMB has not removed Saraki as Senate President implies one of two things:

1. Either PMB is not really interested in removing Saraki as Senate President or
2. PMB is clueless on how to remove Saraki

That someone has a loaded gun and does not use it or know how to use it, does not mean that the gun is not lethal. Give the loaded gun to someone who has the capacity and willingness to use it and see what happens.

If Saraki were the President and a Senate President was acting up with him, can you imagine what would happen.
