Hmm....interesting.

agabaI23:
Bro, We can go on and on with this. We all know the truth.

You threw a challenge which I met. Oya before we end it, swear with your 2 balls that Dasuki gave money to Buhari

Can I ask you for a favour?
Can you stop the comparison thing. We are discussing a government that came in with the promise of change. They said everything about the past government is bad. You cannot defend them or justify whatever they have done with that of a government you have condemned as being entirely evil.

We can't stop the comparisons my brother because you guys are not keeping to your side of the bargain. How easy are you making an already difficult job be? APC wants to be a change but how do you start when PDP has dug and its still digging big holes everywhere and stuffing them with land mines? Are you Seeing all the monies stolen? PDP was in charge for 16years and you expect APC to unravel everything in 8 months? See price of crude oil with no savings??!! How do we forget how much GEJ sold oil yet no diversification in his 5 years!! Haba even if Buhari na king Arthur of Camelot!!

Buhari's govt is slow but asking me to pretend like GEJ and his gang never existed is grossly unfair my friend

Meanwhile have you seen the budget? The oshiomole budget too?
I dey laugh OBJ dey vex

Nothing concern me with Oshiomhole budget...that one na Edo people problem

I'll wait for NASS to start dissecting it before I comment robustly. However, it looks a very ambitious budget on the surface....let's see how it goes

Meanwhile take a peep here https://www.nairaland.com/2883569/what-need-read-today-babatunde

It was a long read but it was worth it.

Honestly we do not have a choice....I'll gladly pay a toll fee to drive from warri to patani today just to ensure that good portion of the East West road stays ok than drive for free from Aba to Enugu.

Let the relevant laws be amended and let the pension funds get put to sensible use.

Like Fashola asked "Do we sell Nigeria or do we own Nigeria?"

Through our pension funds, I think we can decide to own Nigeria.

agabaI23:
Modath my friend and theV0ice, is it true?

No mind the old man.....he's behaving like a typical African....

When something pass african man power, na to call on God.

But I guess I might look to the devil angle if I'm to comment here....

Na only devil fit prevent the leadership of Nigeria from making any saving from the boom of the last 4 years to cushion the effects of the downward spiral we are experiencing at the moment.

Anyway, God dey

AyakaDunukofia:
Some people I know are worried the Igbo gene pool is increasingly being compromised. But I do always tell them to accept the things they can not change. They are going to have Yoruba kids after all. That's life.

We don't know what's happening...All of their known names are looking East in recent times.

Achebe's daughter... Yoruba
Bisoye Obasanjo
Churchill Obasanjo
FFk etc..

Just like Steve Nwosu of Sun newspaper, Cosmas Maduka Junior of Coscharis etc are looking west wards..

Its the way love goes my dear.....nothing about keeping one impure line clean

asorocker:
****

Just like Steve Nwosu, Deputy M D of Sun newspaper didn't find a single worthy Igbo girl to marry he had to come to Yoruba land to look for Toyin

Just like Cosmas Maduka, owner of Coscharis and his family were so insecure and couldnt find a worthy igbo girl to marry, they had to go look for a pretty Yoruba girl called Tope to marry

http://www.lailasblog.com/2015/07/more-photos-from-coscharis-cosmas.html?m=1

****

I guess the pretty doctor in this instance is very insecure

****

asorocker:
How this beauty queen married this guy is what I still can't figure out.

She must have lost her marbles.....Or what do you think?

Why didn't she even marry you instead? How come she missed 'almighty' you?

OfoIgbo:
That's why we need Biiafra. To put a stop to our women marrying wicked subhumans.

They will hate Igbos and starve them to death and threaten to throw them into the lagoon, but when it comes to marriage, they ignore their ugly women, instead preferring our beautiful Igbo women

****

You want her to leave the obviously successful Dele and come look for a low life??

Go and get busy so success can locate u......I'm sure she has cousins you can go beg for attention

What loveeee can do

That's very nice and commendable..

I expect government agencies to patronise indigenous firms like this to give a boost to local content.

This will encourage citizens to patronise made in Nigeria with the attendant boost to our economy.

God bless Innoson and the Nigerian military

Demdem:
Chai, another revelation about to be revealed. So Jonah-daft collected dividend, spent it secretly and kept quite.

Noo....I don't think 'hero' was that brazen

I sure say the money was remitted but got mixed up with other monies spent in the course of the election year

I'm sure they'll come up with a cogent explanation

Inside court or out of court....

They should pay up their gbese abeg. I think say dem dey form hulk hogan before?

Has the Senate commenced its own witch hunt??

Hmmm.......anyway, pls hunt whatever as long as every stolen yam is returned or vomited.

OlujobaSamuel:
seems cross river is the state with the most peaceful political climate in Nigeria. I have not really heard any political nonsense from that state, all political office holder, past and present still relates like rational human for the growth of the state. I wish other state can emulate them.

I think I agree with you. They're enjoying a very peaceful political atmosphere in that state. From Donald Duke to Liyel Imoke now to Ayade.

I pray it continues

DropShot:
He's on a different level from other PDP guys who see election loss as end of their life.

Its obvious. Okowa also and Dave Umahi

Very good perspective to have.

I Like this guy

I no fit laugh abeg

There are some 'news' you don't jump into when they 'break'. You take your time to really investigate if it really happened.

So they even reported that Buhari 'threatened' Trump??

Na motor park dem dey?

modath:
You are the 8th wonder of the world, you impugned on my integrity, accused me of falsehood & you are wondering why i got angry!! Are you for real!!

Something that you could have confirmed yourself before claiming it is FAKE...

So , being maligned is normal for you? It isn't per the course for me cos i try to live right!!

Character means nothing to them you know.....have you forgotten all the 'pictures' of PMB, 'dying' on a hospital bed in UK, they published before the elections?

Have you forgotten the 'pictures' of Calabar indigenes bombed with napalm bombs by the Nigerian military which only they saw?

Everything is fair game to them including ridiculing their own mother to score one over an opponent e.g Fayose's diaper wearing mother

& This just confirmed my unshakable suspicion that you are a yoruba learner/ by association & not a native/by birth like one of my friends, you are as yoruba as Ngozi Nwosu & Kelvin Ikeduba......

No wonder, some things just became clearer..

Who go see Racheal Oniga and 'doubt' say she be yoruba? Of course the guy no be Yoruba. You just dey know? Even Ladoke Akintola's son, despite the rivalry between his father and Awo, i dare say will not sit idly by smiling and keeping mute while 'his friends' who also hated his dad insult and malign Awo with stupid and dumb lies.

Hmmmmm......

DamZik:
zombie spoted.
"Bukari is woorkin"

Slowpoke identified...

"Buhari is witch hunting Shell staff" he screams

Molake94:
So another 10000 people are going into the Labour Market

Globally... Yes. Its the Shell group worldwide... Not just Shell Nigeria.

It's to be expected. Globally, the oil industry is cutting back investments of over $200B over the next few years and this will be felt in the size of the workforce.

This will continue until the price of oil experiences some sort of resurgence however, what isn't in doubt is that the oil industry will never be the same again.

This is nice

And its even nicer when you consider that Mimiko and Fayose are in unison with the other governors from APC.

Glad they're letting go party affiliations and are looking at the bigger picture.

Wish them the very best.

LordAdam:
Nah, it shouldn't. It's okay for people to have opposing views.

I'm not Muslim. I'm non-religious, so I can use any (Allah, God, Jesus...).

All the best!

-Lord

@the bold, that's interesting.

Cheers mate

LordAdam:
Can't believe I liked your post.

Allah bless you mate!

-Lord

And why shouldn't you if you feel like it?

The fact that we disagree on some issues shouldn't make us enemies or should it?

Meanwhile I'm surprised you're Muslim..

God bless you too

Weldone dearpreye....all you wrote up there is the truth.

While we play politics with the current realities, its a wise thing for us to individually learn from them and make sensible adjustments.

God bless you bro

Weldone dearpreye....all you wrote up there is truth.

While we keep playing politics with the current realities, its a wise decision to learn from them.

God bless u bro

modath:
Soludo is a kunu sipping efulefu!!

How dare he besmirch hero's name!

Hero is a saint, he is infallible, his Nobel prize is loading!

Ayam vexing for you

Why didn't you invite me and my friend agabaI23 to this investiture of another award on the hero?

agabaI23:
Buhari's money was delivered in his house. Did you hear about the money traced to the account of his PA? You sure won't accept. But if you are so sure he did not collect, can you swear with your two balls?

You were there when they delivered it abi? I heard about the idiocy my friend...I like Buhari won't dignify it with a response. On your challenge, I would have ignored it but for you to throw it, it means e pain you reach ground and you believe it so here goes: I can swear with my 2 balls that he didn't collect cash from Dasuki. Now go ahead and do same if you believe he did

Buhari wants the oil producing states. i have the document released and everything in that document has played out. I can attach the 20 page document to you. The portion on Bayelsa completely played out. the portion on Rivers and AKS are on course.

Look at what the DSS has been doing to percieved opponents in Abia? Remember laso that Buhari does not care if the person involved is not one of his percieved loyalists. He is a very selfish guy.

He wants the oil producing States yet Sylva lost? did he suddenly forget his plans?

He wants the oil producing states yet he didn't move an electoral officer that'll play ball there? I thought you guys say he's a satanic despot? Was the state INEC guy too tough for Buhari to handle? You see now that the author of that comic you're taking as serious as the Bible should be flogged?

What is DSS doing in Abia? Is Otti now in APC? GEJ as weak as he was determined to win ekiti and he did. Now that's a despot if you've never seen one.

So Buhari doesn't care if the person involved is a loyalist? Any real and verifiable examples?

Serious Business men? Sure, serious businessmen are in Syria and Iraq too. But the normal business men that employ the ordinary people are running away. The application for the licences were made last year or even in 2014. 

read the rest http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/nigerian-auto-policy-and-the-lurking-political-threats/224498/ It has been reversed sir.

The major component of the policy and the incentive is increased tariff my friend and you know it.

See the links below. This day didn't hear any govt official say they're reversing auto policy. Thisday is forming an opinion based on their understanding.

http://techpoint.ng/2015/08/21/ford-motor-company-open-assembly-plant-nigeria/

http://pulse.ng/cars/mitsubishi-motors-car-manufacturer-to-open-assembly-plant-in-nigeria-in-2016-id4386057.html

Once again my friend serious business men are trooping in to open auto plants. Leave the suicide bombers opening shop in Syria and Iraq alone....let's talk about the Americans and Asians still minded to do business with us. Tarrif isn't stopping those who have money to invest and on this matter, I'll advise you trust them more than mere journalists

No oil never rose again to $145/barrel after the 2008 burst do not lie my friend. Oil never got to 120$/barrel
GEj through NOI wanted to save, pegged the budget benchmark low, the lower house controlled by APC jacked it up. Do you remember that the struggle over the benchmark delayed the budget in 2013? Even the senate was higher than NOI benchmark yet was smaller than the high benchmark set by the APC controlled house?
Do you remember that the governors most of whom are APC guys now insisted that the money in excess crude should be shared? Who stole? They threatened to go to court citing the constitution. Come on brooo

so how much did GEJ sell oil? How much did yaradua leave in external reserves? How much did he leave in ECA? How much debt did he leave?

Now tell us how much GEJ left in external reserve? How much in ECA? How much debt? My brother, no matter how many straws you cling to, you can't hide GEJ's pedigree as a devourer and waster.

See Prof Soludo take GEJ and NOI to the cleaners on this issue. GEJ and NOI acted like common thieves with the ECA funds....

Soludo accused the coordinating minister of the economy of running the country’s economy aground and blaming the state governors for failure to save for the rainy days whereas the federal government has benefitted more from sharing the Excess Crude Account (ECA) savings.
“I hereby challenge your attempt to blame others for not saving for the rainy day. It is not a virtue when you are quick to appropriate all the credit when things are going well, but shift the blame when they go wrong,” Soludo stated.
“You blame the state governors, who, according to you, have taken the federal government to the Supreme Court – not that a Supreme Court judgement forced your hands. For your information, the governors have never agreed to savings and always threatened court action even under Obasanjo. Why did we save under Obasanjo but not under Jonathan? Two keywords explain it: leadership and integrity.”
According to Soludo, the Governor Chibuike Amaechi-led NGF insisted on sharing the funds because they found out that the federal government was illegally fiddling with the savings.
“So, as Nigerians still wonder, if billions of dollars are now ‘missing’ under your nose, why should governors trust you to keep their money?” said Soludo.
“Do the states that have taken the federal government to the Supreme Court and refused to save also include the PDP governors, who are in the majority? If so, then it is fatal: even governors of your own party, PDP, do not trust you to keep their money! Furthermore, did the governors also stop the federal government from saving part of its share? If you ran a surplus budget at the federal level, you would have had credibility to blame others or to say they did not listen to your advice.”
“The key point is that since you were running huge deficits yourself, it was also in your own interest to share the ECA. You did not show leadership or credibility, full stop.”

http://leadership.ng/news/408685/soludo-fires-okonjoiweala-n30trillion-stolen-watch

Even PDP governors DIDN'T TRUST GEJ SO WHY SHOULD AMAECHI?

Also it was in GEJ's interest that the funds be shared. He and NOI benefited more from sharing the ECA as it helped them hide the huge deficit they were running despite selling oil at high prices for years. Will u still argue? I'm sure GEJ was happy when Amaechi fell into 'the trap'

E remain 5, bring am

I no gree

Whatever happened in Ekiti is a child's play to what has been happening lately. Bayelsa being the most recent. Tell me why I am not seeing the change promised. if what happened in Ekiti was wrong, why use it to justify your actions. You came promising to change the evils of past administration but you are rather trying to out do them. Is that the kind of change sir? remember that students definition of zero budgeting. Can you compare the Presidency budget in 2015 to that of 2016? Even your Soludo said that Buhari just increased the amounts in GEJ's budget...

Again, can you compare Obanikoro of Ekitigate and Amaechi who is a major minister? Or are you gonna use Obanikoro to justify Amaechi's appointment?

Once again, what happened in bayelsa? How come sylva still lost? Did Buhari forget that he was a dictator without regard for human life? Soludo just accused GEJ of running CBN like Idi Amin....

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/more-news/196901-jonathan-ran-cbn-like-idi-amin-soludo.html

Now thats a low for anybody....hope you agree with him?

I don't remember any report about Amaechi on caught on tape threatening a general to rig election for him o....do you have any?

A dictator cannot know how to be correct. He only knows how to please himself by stroking his ego and admiring his actions and integrity. GEJ was no dictator and even if he had the tendencies of a dictator like you said, you were supposed to change things with your change? Why are you justifying your highhandedness with the actions or inaction of an administration you promised to change everything that is related to their way of governance?

For the records, I hate political correctness as much as I hate dictatorship. There is nothing you cannot achieve under the rule of law.

Buhari isn't given to drama. GEJ is the "pls pity me I'm an orphan" type. He calls for pity but knows how to ask Obanikoro to rig ekiti election. He looks innocent but supported an Mbu to take over rivers state from an elected governor. He believes in the rule of law yet disregarded NJC over the case of Justice Salami? So much for the 'democrat'

You should have realised now my friend....every leader is a dictator, even the weak and docile GEJ. Its the degree and how useful they are to society that matters. Even Obama is a 'dictator' now. If you doubt, ask Republicans

Hear from the guy GEJ wants to resemble when he grows up....I'm talking of Lee Kwan Yew

"Anybody who decides to take me on needs to put on knuckle-dusters. If you think you can hurt me more than I can hurt you, try. There is no way you can govern a Chinese society.”

“If you are a troublemaker... it’s our job to politically destroy you... Everybody knows that in my bag I have a hatchet, and a very sharp one. You take me on, I take my hatchet, we meet in the cul-de-sac.”

"Whoever governs Singapore must have that iron in him. Or give it up. This is not a game of cards."

Rule of law as applied to Nigeria punishes the weak and protects the rich and powerful. Even at that. Buhari hasn't broken any law.

modath:
True dat!!!

I also hope his gang of hero chanting robots can.point to any visible achievement in both state & at the federal level!!!

Blasphemy is when El No Clue is likened to Lee kwan Yew!! , A man that was cut from a different cloth.

A decisive almost despotic ruler who took his nation by the scruff of its neck & did the needful....

Didn't sit around forming victim, & seeking to be liked, he knew what was lacking & filled the gap, not mr i am humble & a minority, so therefore, Pity me..

Cc theV0ice

You know the comparison of GEJ to Lee Kuan Yew made me go on to study the father of modern Singapore and I finally realised I had been right all along that ONLY MAD men make changes in a society particularly a society that thrives on chaos and impunity like Nigeria. Lee Kuan Yew was a mad man that even the west took seriously and couldn't fault

Like my signature says.......I hope Buhari is mad enough.

agabaI23:
Kai megida, you expect Buhari to accept? The money was taken to his house. Dasuki said he gave him 300k$ with 5 cars, he accepted he received only 2 cars.......... You can argue as much as you like but if you were neutral, you definitely think there is something in it.

You're the one who should remain neutral on the issue my friend. Even as corrupt as OBJ is, I wouldn't expect a former president like him to stoop low and collect backyard money like that.

Haba.....will GEJ at his level also accept money like that? So what was the money for? To pacify Buhari for arresting him in 1985? Or to help him defeat gej? Or just dash to an hungry senior?

Even the small officials my bank used to give 'specialized marketing' didn't collect the bribe like that

They were able to reverse themselves because he is not a dictator. A dictator will rope them in somehow. Okowa won his case? It is like me telling you that Shettima won his case. APC is just foraging in the SS where they have no say. Look at the shame they perpetrated in Bayelsa. Buhari is yet to congratulate Dickson.

you're really making effort...

Will Buhari stop being a dictator to you if Kanu gets freed soon?

I mentioned APC heavy Senate loss in kogi, what would u say to that? Do you know APC also lost 7 assembly seats in Ogun state? Are they also SS?

You know, I did not want GEJ to disqualify him based on anything certificate. The truth is that the guy had no WAEC cert. He got into the army through his principals recommendation. The world should know that for the records

My dear, you're still in the realm of speculation. Its your word against Buhari's

Deziani if not for anything has axe to grind with the oil companies and she saw the PIB as a way to get back on them. Trust me, GEJ wanted the PIB and wanted it passed. You re not right about that.

The tariff is the major component of the policy.

1. Why will any foreign manufacturer open shop in Nigeria when he can easily make the same money from abroad?
2. Local industries can only flourish if they are competing with used cars from abroad
3. If used cars are still around and more affordable, the loan scheme from Standard bank would not work because many people would prefer to buy out a tokumbo that obatain a 5-10 year loan for a brand new car
etc. So the tariff hike is pivotal to the success of the auto-policy

Diezani was a tougher president than GEJ. Even PEJ would get that bill passed.....but GEJ, not in a million years.

I'm not sure you're correct in your assertions that PMB reversed the auto policy...see below

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/187744-nigeria-grants-12-new-auto-assembly-plant-licences.html

Serious businessmen and investors are still trooping in.

You people forget that when he came, the whole world was recovering from the oil doom when oil sold at 34$/B and then you guys supported labour's demand for higher wage which led to the bulk of the domestic borrowing. You guys egged on the governors forum ran by Amaechi when he insisted that no money be saved citing the constitution. They dragged FG to court. NOI want Sovereign wealth fun created and they were up in arms. They are the progressives working with Mr integrity. Buhari is doing more than signing away our sovereignty because none of them in his cabinet understands the international economic politics. America and the rest of the west do not want any progress in Nigeria. It is a time bomb and they cannot handle it. We are too smart and aggressive for them. China is hacking the pentagon, when Nigeria develops, they will use electromagnetic power to change the position of the pentagon just for the fun it and as a demonstration of power

Good. Jonathan came in during oil gloom you said and Nigeria got lucky to see oil rise under him to $145/barrel. This is in addition to $20B ECA, almost zero debt and $47B foreign reserves bequeathed him by his predecessors you see no reason to blame him for depleting everything he met but you think it OK to blame Buhari who met oil at a very battered price, depleted foreign reserves, empty ECA, high debt etc?

Can you argue with Soludo when he insisted GEJ and NOI pilfering from the ECA is the cardinal reason why they couldn't stand against Amaechi and his gang?

You see why Buhari knows no matter what he does, you can never like or appreciate?

What happened to the 10%? Give all in jare

OK oya take another 5%

Most often, the deputies do things they believe it is in line with what their boss wants or just to protect their boss. IBB said, "I will take responsibility because it happened under my administration"

Now the difference is how the Boss handles the outcome? keep quiet and let it slide? It is approval. Buhari has been doing it. He is a dictator stop defending him. I don't even understand your case. You were excluded from the rice party and you are here defending a confused government

Did GEJ ever do anything about ekitigate? Rather Obanikoro was rewarded for a job weldone.

Was Mbu ever reprimanded for practically taking over governance in rivers state? Rather he was promoted AIG.

GEJ was a dictator at opportune times too my friend despite his weakness and docility. The difference is that Buhari doesn't know know how to be politically correct. See what GEJ's mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, said on that

its more preferable to be correct than to be politically correct
