I never expected a lady to be this intelligent

Still stuck in the neanderthal age, I see.

Even as a child, my parents drummed it into me that you never stand on a soak away.

Good enough that she survived, but what a crazy decision to choose to stand on a soak away pit

The gold thingy is horrible. Makes such a vintage car look gaudy as hell.

The OP is just plain silly.

First of all, the economy today is in a FAR worse state than it was in last year, and a subsidy from 197 to 160 is way less than subsidizing from 338 to 197.

More importantly, justifying a wrong act by claiming "this was done for Christians too" is just daft. Many of us who are criticizing this are doing so because this is an unacceptable waste of taxpayer funds on what should be a personal pilgrimage. Many of us have condemned Govt sponsorship of religious pilgrimages in the past.

I suggest the OP learns to pay tax so he can muster the same indignation many of us feel when our leaders waste our money so recklessly, instead of moronically trying to discuss this with a lens of religious bias.

Nah. Why? Nothing special or better about the FE.

AKBliv010:
Dope setups! Do you play online often?

.....and when Jonathan wanted to emove subsidy, where you not among the Ekpas that fought tooth and Nail?

because Subsidy payment was never the issue.

Allowing criminals to hike subsidy payments from approx 300bn to 2+ trillion in a year was the main reason.

GEJ happily turned a blind eye and deaf ear to corruption.

linearity:
You might have to do more readings, as you are comparing Apples to Oranges here....

Royalties from foreign company to Nigeria goes to the Nigeria government and it is purely received and keep as forex and increases Nigeria's foreign reserve....On the other hand, a Nigeria in diaspora sending money to his relatives in Nigeria or doing a construction project in Nigeria, that dollar sent (e.g. from the US)....that dollar must be converted to Naira for onward delivery to the recipient...there is no reserve....the local bank have to meet that increase demand for Naira, it is very simple.

Even if the local bank pays the recipient in dollar, which is unlikely, I cannot use dollar to go buy tipper of white sand from Baba Bola, he needs Naira notes, again increasing demand for Naira notes!

This also ensures supply of dollars is low, hiking up the exchange rate and coming round to bite you in the butt when you complain that it costs you more to import a car from America.

On the surface, this looks like a smart move from the CBN.

The swine is forbidden even the christians wont touch that thing.

Speak for yourself. Pork is delicious.

You call me child?? you recall ur days with DEMDEM, wen u argue from morning till night!!

I don't want to argue with an old-time member like yourself. At least I know you have sense.

Let's not allow political differences to cause quarrel. I take back the 'child' comment and apologize. I trust you'll retract the 'bloody civilian' bit since that's a sore area for me.

Cheers!

Ask4Info:

PEOPLE NOW READ BUT CAN'T COMPREHEND.

Mr I Too Sabi, point to where is was written that he should be voted for for the sole purpose of him being a youth ALONE. According to you.

You mean, apart from the part where you say we should "Vote out these old buffaloes"?

How come his age is suspiciously left out of the OP?

Ask4Info:
[b]Nigerian Youths! O My Nigerian Youths!!!
Watch as the very same youths; Boys, Girls, Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba, Muslim Christian, Educated and Illiterate will all mock this young educated man and wish how he will be bottom on the polls because he doesn't belong to PDP, APC, APGA or Labour Party.
I have said it in the past and will say it again, Nigeria will ONLY get better when her youths start to unite irrespective of ethic, religious or status divides to fight the shameless, corrupt and recircled old politicians (men and women) who keep running for political positions and patronage and then pass then barton to their kids and loyalist.
APC, PDP, Christianity, Islam or the 6 geopoliuregions are not the problems of Nigeria. The problems and solutions lies in the hands of the Nigerian youths.
If Turkey was to be in Nigeria, we would have currently been under a military regime since 3 weeks ago, while the likes of Atiku, Tinubu, Uzor Kalu would have started patronizing the Military regime for contracts and portfolios. The very same men who said they believe in Democracy.
Nigerian youths should start a political party, unite and flush out these greedy old buffalos from determining the future of you and your generation.[/b]

This is childish talk. 'Youth' alone should NOT be a qualification for any post. Also, many youths in Nigeria have more than proven themselves to be as terrible (or even worse!) than the old ones they are replacing.

Just take a look at all the compromised, tribalist scumbags you have posting on Nairaland and tell me if you think those are the type of folks you want charting the future of this nation.

IVORY2009:
Bro, u were one of the few here on nairaland I respect, but u hv lost it, how can u agree with a newpaper tryer, if they have proof, why cant the efcc approach the court, must they come out and use newspaper? frm now, u hv lost my respect for u, bloody civilian!

Who cares about your 'respect'? Does it pay bills?

I'm not sure why you perennial opponents of this Government are so perturbed over newspaper stories. Are people convicted based on that? Do they not receive a fair trial where they are allowed to mount a vigorous defense?

Either way, this is immaterial. My comment was not on the 'newspaper trial' as you put it, but more on the fact that - incredibly - you and your cohorts seemed to be under the impression that it is impossible to steal and transport huge sums of money.

Pavarottii:
Show me the link that said Metuh will return money and why hasn't he returned the money till now?

Show me where I said Metuh said he would return money.

promqueen247:
I thought banks keeps their dealing with customer strictly confidential, the authorities backed by court order only request for financial records not staff contribution. This is violation of work ethic.

'Violation of work ethic'

LOL. You don't know wahala until DSS and EFCC nab you.

Someone they have promised leniency for confession and you expect him to choose jail because of 'professional ethics'.

IVORY2009:
Dont mind them, arrangee govt of Buhari will always fail, 1.2 billion naira can not be withdrawn, neither can it be moved earily frm place to place, dis govt his a big disappointment I swear how can one move 1.2 billion naira, Lai Mohammed should have done better here to help package this lie....

Na small pikin sense dey worry you.

You are talking about protocol. when Metuh himself don gree say dem carry hundreds of millions in cash give am, where were you?

When people were stealing billions, where was your protocol?

Naïve fellow, you will be arguing on Nairaland for kobo kobo money while your sponsors loot billions.

May your case not be like those AIT staff that were defending Dokpesi even when he was owing salaries for months, while the man was busy collecting dasuki billions!

silibaba:
why am i finding it difficult to believe you.because the nigeria millitary i know cannot stand niger delta avenger one on one.

LOL

When they start the offensive against NDA and their allies, people like you will start petitioning the UN and Obama to stop the crackdown.

drss:
dem don shift dem goal post again b4 na 7000mw before d end of 2016. now dem reduce am to 6,000mw (GEJ record).
directionless govt.

LOL. When did GEJ hit even 5000 MW sustainably sef?

ezzylee:
Me, I have no choice. I just have to stick with them coz the devil you know, is better than the angel you dont know. Dont wanna go and enter another ISP'S trap.

You work for Spectranet, don't you?

rhymaholic:
To say the least I'm unhappy with Buhari's appointments lately. Same old people that have ruined and ran this country down are the same people he's putting in positions.

Are you OK?!

What has Buhari got to do with board appointments in a private company?

You're doing a terrible job of showing why a young man like yourself should he trusted with anything if you cannot even be properly informed about your immediate environment.

LORDOFAFONJAS:
It is just pure greed that i see in all these old ani mals still ruling the country

Ntel is a PRIVATE Telecoms company , owned by a PRIVATE consortium of Nigerian companies and businessmen. It has nothing to do with politics and it's board members are not political appointees.

I wish you people employed common sense in your posts.

Lawsuit time

Most of the things on that list are pure garbage.

Giving N5k to people is a waste of taxpayer funds. I don't care if it was a promise or not.

Visiting the south south or south east is of limited use.


Nothing wrong with blaming the past if the future is better. If you are doing good work, nobody will blame you for that.

Geniro:
You are indeed a very shameless son, father and a husband to those you are linked to.

Your weeping and gnashing of teeth will continue until 2019.

When Nyesom Wike commisioned a boatload of roads after just 2 months in power, these same wailing dolts were praising Wike and blasting Amaechi.

Now a project conceptualized by OBJ, reframed by Yar'Adua, nearly destroyed by GEJ and now completed by Buhari, they are falling over themselves to praise GEJ.

Did anyone tell him not to finish the rail line? Budget was provided from 2012 - 2014 yet no action.


very soon, even the 2nd Niger bridge that was a GEJ campaign promise and that he hurriedly signed a deal for in 2015, they will claim it as a GEJ project when Buhari completes it .

laksides:
Iba lasu road is the route to Lagos state university and also the road that link to badagry express way.
Besides do you know Lagos at all?

He doesn't have to know Lagos. You failed to provide enough information in your OP. Accept the feedback and move on.

youngeagle:
I will make $1=1naira zombies begin the clap without checking the track record of the dullard.

You realize buhari never made that promise or statement?

There is a standing bet of N1million for anyone who can provide an audio or video recording of Buhari saying this. But you zombies keep repeating that nonsense.
