Yes Professor (Pastor) Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) will be handing over the Presidency to Nasir El-Rufai / Kayode Fayemi on May 29, 2031, before then many Biafran would have left Nigeria to Cameroon in shame.

Man proposes, God disposes

OK...kicking off on Youtube. Hopefully, it grows from there.

I passed by the venue yesterday morning and the crowd was already beginning to overflow.

Read Ivan-Whyte Eagle Lawson's very detailed, jarring, albeit hilarious eye witness account to that farce called BBN auditions. According to him, blood flowed, limbs were torn and heads broken.

I first heard about Big Brother back in the late 1990's...when the thing was the rage in European countries.

To be honest, I did not get the concept of the show. It sounded like a big waste of time. Not even the 'you will win millions' carrot attracted me.

Then in 2002...Big Brother Africa came around. That was the one where we had reps from all over Africa, with one Naija guy called Bayo. Was in university then. My mates were all excited about the show...me I was like 'What'?

And honestly, I am not moved till today.

As for why there are crowds. Last time, Efe won 25million naira. Just like that. No need to hustle, etc. Yes, everyone says God blesses legit hustle, but it costs a lot of suffering to get there.(and sometimes, it takes years before someone earns a decent salary after graduatiion). Who no want good thing. And those who did not win are all on Instagram, etc...posing with cool pictures, etc....

Even if government gives everyone jobs....people will still be there.

The problem is easy money. Easy money.

Unfortunately, Nigeria is light years behind forensic investigations so those criminals will probably walk free. In the U.S no matter how long it takes dem go still catch am. Na why you go dey hear say dem catch person for 2019 wey commit crime since 1945.

We are light years behind because Nigerians don't want to pay the taxes needed to build a very good forensic capacity.

Many Nigerians too don't pay their light bills. So, we have difficulty funding power supply,which you need to preserve frensic materials,and run that PCR machine for DNA analysis.

In this election, we have a choice between two bad parties. A governor was caught taking bribes. No one in his state is rioting. The two main parties have all sorts of corruption cases on their head....and no one is doing nothing.

Our universites are badly funded. We pay less than $200 in fees and expect $20000 in facilites. You cannot get well trained professionals from just $200 per annum per student.

And by the way, in this country, people commit crimes, and their relatives , friends , tribesmen even prevent them from being punished for their crimes. Someone comitts a violent crime,we go and beg the family of the victim,and nothing is done. Or we go and hide him from being prosecuted.

There is something wrong with governance in Nigeria....and it is because there is something wrong with the people. And the sad thing is Nigerians are not ready to face their sins.

We are the comedy league of world football.

Ever other nation is fighting to progress, we are here fighting to elect ancestors/recycled politicians as President.

SHAME ON NIGERIA YOUTHS!

And when we tell you to vote Sowore or Hashim or Moghalu, you guys will tell us that they can not win, before telling us to Sai Buhari or Obediently Atikulate

ClearFlair:
When we destroy PDP violence will disappear because they are the number employers of thugs in Nigeria.

The problem was there before PDP.

Back in the 1990s, the club I used to support got banished to another town because of violent fans

The way forward is that clubs get properly managed so that at the end of the day, in case of relegation, zero financial worries.

I don't know if they also still banish clubs whose fans commit violence. Dock at least 6 points for violent episodes towards opposing clubs, official and TV crew too.

The thing is the win at all costs mentality driven by the fact that getting relegated can be very financially tasking for the average Nigerian club side.

Clubs don't want to lose home matches. Drives away fans. Better to get victory via intimidation

We have a long way to go. And this has effects on competitiveness

Passionate888:
I know the splitting of 1 egg into 5, I asked about the other instances you mentioned.

Depends on whether the fertilised eggs are XX or XY.

byinks:
The could have used spinal anaesthesia

Well they could have...but it won't necessarily have saved her life.

Passionate888:
What's the probability/odd of all being girls?

Well, assuming they all came from one egg splitting into five, and the fertilised egg was XX (XX means two X genes means girls)..I'll say the possibility is 100%

Passionate888:
5 female babies! Na one fertilized egg split into 5 or the man go five rounds or na just one round e happen?

Possibly

1.One fertilised egg split into five (it happens)

2.Three fertilised eggs, with one splitting into two.

3.Three fertilsed eggs, with twoof them splitting into two.

4.IVF

Do you need to know more?

frankleesehi:
Emmanuel Ezunu, Head, Clinical Services and Training, Federal Medical Centre, FMC, Asaba, has confirmed the death of a housewife who died 15 hours after she was delivered of quintuplets.

Mr. Ezunu who made the confirmation to newsmen in Asaba, said Chukwunonso Onyejekwe, 29, died of complications after delivery.

According to him, the deceased suffered acute respiratory failure and died after a successful Cesarean Section, CS, and was delivered of a set of five female babies.

Ezunu said that the woman was brought into the hospital as an un-booked patient, and due to her emergency condition, she was taken straight to the theatre.

According to him, “the woman in question was brought to the FMC, on the 28th of January 2019, un-booked; that is to say, she was not a registered patient here.

Possible casues

1.Amninotic embolisim....happens in high risk pregnancies. Especially one that was UNBOOKED.Nothing can be done once it happens. (Saw a case when I was a student. Never again!)

2.Pulmonary embolism. can ALSO happen in a high risk pregnancy.

In other words....PLEASE IF YOU ARE A PREGNANT FEMALE...or Male....GO FOR ANTENATAL CARE as SOON AS YOU GET PREGNANT. ANC SAVES LIVES!

Hmmm

Eventually, we are going to do two things in this country...and by extension the whole of Africa because there are countries with two or three tribes that like ehrding cattle (Infact part of South Sudan's problems are due to cattle related problems)

1.Massive grazing ranches...to be run as cooperatives,set up in the far North...with the aim of supplying an agro allied industry and dairy industry. Each and every of these ranches would be linked to the railway network for easy transport of export related products.

2.Additonally, we have to fix the railways.

The era of roaming around with cow is at an end.Our populaiton is now 200million. Back in 1963 we were 55 million,and our railways were already trasporting cow realted products to the South. Too bad mismanagement in the 1970's led to the problems we have today.

I know it is popular to blame Obasanjo for handing over Bakassi...but the facts are

1.When we agreed to go to the ICJ in 1994....when Abacha was in charge...and when the alternative was war with France....we agreed to abide to its ruling on the matter.

2.The ICJ ruled against us.And we really did not have much of a case to begin with.

3.By the time of the ruling...Obasanjo was in charge...and he had no choice. Disobeying theruling would have brought hard consequences.

Makito015:
It was obvious kadaira Ahmed was biased because she is supporting APC

The same Ms Ahmed that made Bubu look really bad...or are you sure you watched Bubu's interview.

Because from the way BMC and APC spindocs were scrambling to explain and explain after Bubu's perfomance...Ms Ahmed really shook things up.

So,why complain when she does same to YOUR candidate ?

What were you guys expecting? An easy ride?

Ratello:
Is El- Rufai truly connected to this woman? There you have it......



https://mobile.twitter.com/jacksonpbn/status/1090757608317878278

No offence, but I seem to recall PDP supporters clapping for Ms Ahmed when she made Buhari 'look like the lifeless one he really is'

So,why would you expect her to go easy on Atiku? When she did not go easy on Bubu (I recall APC supporters scrambling to explain away Bubu's performance at the Candidates).

Come now....Atiku got a real grilling...that's par the course.

urahara:
Where low oil prices truly the cause of bubus woes or was it his refusal to allow the naira float ?

Well,this is my opinion, but

1.Low oil prices are part of the problem too....once the oil falls,revnue falls,and money going to salaries ,etcfall....which affects the economy too.

2.As for not allowing the naira to float....the simple fact is that IMO...if they had done that, that might have only made things worse. Better to apply some control...instead of letting things out of control...the better to save money(What i did not like was the differing naira rates...which allowed round tripping...altho that's been around for decades.)

BruncleZuma:
Problem with your comment is that it lacks an iota of sanity...you and a host of other copy and paste thrift store minions have been chanting crude at 100$ for 16yrs.

I have explained to the other more sane individual that there are three grades and we kind of fall somewhere close to light.

There's the sweet crude which is the best in the world and we do not produce that.

Then again I don't expect you to understand any of this with the cognitive dissonance you and your lot exhibit in your favourite Orwellian echo chamber which you have all chosen to exist in.

The cost of light crude oil...the OPEC light...was above $100 from 2011-14.

I recall you saying upthread that OPEC light was the cheapest...well...according to this table...it was above $100 per barrel from 2011-14on average.

I know you GEJ supporters try to downplay the high oil prices of that era....but facts are facts.

AND...anyway...lost in the argument is the fact that our economy is fuelled by oil...and that is the issue....really. Sort that issue out...and we won't need to argue over oil prices.

Bubu saved despite having low oil prices. Good for him....BUT that does not mean he is an economic mastermind either. For him to be one...he has to have a plan for diversificaiton that goes beyond 'agriculture'.

urahara:
How can that be so when oil makes up merely 10 percent of our gdp ?

Because oil earns most of our froeign exchange...which is then spent in country to fuel the remaining 90% of our economy.

As the quoted bit explains..

Oil contributes less than 10% to GDP because most companies in the sector aren’t Nigerian, Prof Usman Muttaka of the Ahmadu Bello University economics department told Africa Check.

“Unlike services and agriculture, the oil sector is dominated by companies from other economies. These foreign oil companies repatriate large chunks of the profit to their respective countries.”

The services sector makes up more than half of Nigeria’s GDP, according to recent yearly and quarterly estimates. We therefore rate Awolowo’s claim that services are “driving” GDP as correct.


CLAIM
“Oil still earns 90% of Nigeria’s foreign exchange”

VERDICT
mostly-correct
Nigeria earns foreign exchange by exporting goods and services out of the country, the Central Bank of Nigeria explains.

The statistics bureau’s most recent foreign trade data shows that in the first quarter of 2018, Nigeria earned N4.69 trillion (US$153.4 billion) from exports.

Sales of crude oil made up 76.3% of Nigeria’s export earnings from January to March 2018, bringing in N3.58 trillion (US$11.7 billion). Processed oil products like condensates and lubricants earned another N535.8 billion, or US$ 1.75 billion, contributing 11.4% to export earnings.

In total, crude oil and oil products made up 87.7% of Nigeria’s foreign exchange earnings in the first quarter of 2018.

“The fact that we produce so little processed products, such as manufactured items, means that our export is dominated by crude oil,” Ayo Teriba, the chief executive of Economic Associates, told Africa Check. “Due to infrastructure failure, oil and agriculture are Nigeria’s main exports, while services dominate the economy.”

Sales of crude oil and processed oil products together made up 87.7% of Nigeria’s export earnings in the first three months of 2018. We therefore rate Awolowo’s claim that “oil is still 90% of our foreign exchange” as mostly correct.

In essence, we earn most of our forex from oil which is then spent in our services run economy...ie on stuff like phones, power, fuel, etc...

Sauce of quote.

Cant wait for February to come and gone......







Tired of Atiku say this, Buhari say that...................










Cant wait for BBN 2019 to start



Big Brother Nigeria 2019.....




Like for BBN and Share for Atiku/Buhari

Go and vote in your country's elections.

No one will recall who won BBN in ten years, but the decision made at the ballot box will be talked about in decades to.come.

Esseite:
Even with crude at 11$... lower than buhari's?

Our forex needs were less.in 1999 than they were in 2019.


Plus Obasanjo's first term was hard. Remember how they used to tell us back then that it takes time to fix the damage the Army has done

Pekele007:
Our external reserve is $40b yet the dullard is planning on borrowing from India again


Check your google again bro

We are borrowing because oil is below the price we need it to be not to borrow.

Right now, we need oil at 140 USD before we can run a budget without borrowing. Oil is at 60 USD.

Foreign reserves are not for spending recklessly. They are for keeping as a buffer for the day when Nigeria cannot sell oil.

I'll give Buhari kudos for growing the reserve in the midst of declining oil prices. Venezuela did not do the same. See where they are now

pinkcottoncandy:
Apc has borrowed twice the amount pdp borrowed for 16 years with nothing to show for it

Who will pay for all these borrowed funds....certainly not buharis children

But your future generation

His supporters do not understand the damage a bad economic policy can bring...leadership is not all about infrastructure...good economy first...before niger bridge!

APC. Is borrowing because since they took over, oil price has been below the level we require it to be not to borrow.

We need oil to be at least 140 USd per barrel before we can run a budget with zero borrowing.Under APC, oil has been below 75 USD and even as low as 30 USD.

(That is why PDP borrowed from 2007 to 14 because oil, being high, was not high enough)

By January 2015, Okonjo iweala was predicting hard times ahead whoever won the election.

I agree APC has no ideas on how to fix our economy, however, if we did not borrow, our economy would have been in even worse shape than it is.

That is the price of living in an oil dependent economy. You borrow and keep on borrowing when the price drops. And you pay heavily when the price rises.

BigIyanga:
PDP grew our economy in 1999 from less than $200bn to $500bn
PDP grew the reserve from $4bn to about $50bn
PDP increased the minimum wage from less than N3k to N18k a whopping 600% increase.NLC is asking for about 60% increase and APC is crying that it is impossible.
PDP wiped off our foreign debt incurred by military guys like IBB, GMB and Abacha .
PDP introduced GSM technology by connecting over 100m while military guys like GMB and Abacha funded NITEL to only produce 400k lines.
PDP recapitalized banks and allowed over 50m Nigerians access to bank and banking products unlike GMB era
PDP didnt make Naija look like Dubai in 16 yrs, but APC must match these achievement by 25% since they have been in power by 4yrs. Blame cant do these but actions!

PDP knocked down the foreign reserves from 60bn in 2010 to 32 bn in 2015 with oil above 90 USD from 2010 to 14.

APC raised the reserve from 28bn to 40 bn with oil prices below 75 USD in 3 years.

The economy has not been growing because we rely on oil, not necessarily because of what APC did or did not do. Where APC erred is that they have zero idea on how to get us off resource dependency

Pekele007:
What has Buhari the dullard done with the little he got? What was he able to do with the loans and debts he accrued


PDP didn't achieve anything yet you are still breathing and using the internet. You need to go back to school asap.

Bubu's problems stem from the fact that his government has not faced the reality that Nigeria is a resource dependent poor nation that needs it's economy to be productive via industry and innovation.

Taking loans is a symptom of our resources dependency. When prices go down, it is either we take loans, or salaries don't get paid. For years

Oil was never high at 100 dollars during the PDP regime Except in 2008 and 2011 to 2014.

What draws many people's ire is the fact that there werent enough savings during the time of the previous government, which was PDP.

Having said that, the real problem with the Nigerian economy is our over reliance on crude oil, and our sharing the money mentality. Things which I don't see PDP, or APC changing because it means years of harsher austerity measures which don't win votes

deboysben:
Atiku is ever ready for presidency with his plans to get Nigeria working again

So you want to replace a thief with another thief.

And you are misinterpreting the Bible in the process.

Don't complain when things don't change after another 8 years of PDP.

You Nigerians are not ready for good governance

modath:
Wicked you..






Your moniker fit you "oldpretender"

Pretending aside...due process is still important...so that when it is my turn,innocent little me gets protected from the rampaging mob.
