I was queuing for fuel while this morning in Zaria kaduna state when I noticed the keke in font of me was taking almost over 20 minutes to get filled. I went there to check what was going on. to my surprise it had already consumed over 27k fuel @ 86 naira. since gallons are not allowed, this black maker boys selling on the street have invented a monster keke. You can never be wiser than a Nigerian criminal. Naija I hail o

Ayoolla:
Is any body seeing what I'm seeing? This is a clear case of "kill the evidence- and go scot free". someone is actually perfectly covering his tracks well. The Military tribunal is already sitting. Summons will start flying right ,left and centre, and a dead man doesn't answer questions... So sad!!

Lawsimon:
If you believe this news then your head need to be check

kingdong:
Amen. If Buhari eventually goes rogue, we will hopefully catch him one day day, tie him down and deal with him until he vomits anything he might have stolen, then thrown into jail.

But for now, lets stand united and ruthlessly deal with the brigands that have plundered and decimated our commonwealth whether they belong to APC or PDP or party-less.
If we don't, one day it might be too late for you or yours when the consequences of a crippled system catches up with you.

skipperWicked:
Please have anybody querried where APC got the billions they spent during election or is it only PDP that spent money and the source known to EFCC.? Nigerian corruption fight is always vindictive. Can we be sincere for once as a nation?

Profwriter:
how is it a win win for Nigeria, if there successors go probing there predecessors, isnt that 20years backwardness, let the oposition stay rather than cripple it, it will aid development. Ever since buhari came, what has he achieved, all these arrests rearrest are designed to divert the attention of Nigerians from their pains to the wind.

The man also mentioned femi and buhari, why did efcc didnt go after them?

Bros you fuckup

Damager:

Femi Adesina and Buhari's names were also mentioned in the #DasukiGate saga, why haven't they been picked up by the EFCC or questioned?

Mboi:
Nigerians welcome the change you asked for. All the insults Lie Mohamed gave GEJ, nobody harrassed him, why arresting Metuh? Good morning Nigerians.

You can see that I'm living a happy life.

Africa’s biggest economy Nigeria, battling a revenue shortfall caused by the global oil shock, does not need assistance from the International Monetary Fund, the group’s head said on Tuesday.

“Let me be very clear: I’m not here nor is my team here to negotiate a loan with conditionalities, we’re not programming negotiations,” said IMF managing director Christine Lagarde.

“Frankly, given the determination and resilience displayed by the presidency and his team, I don’t see why an IMF programme is going to be needed,” she told reporters in Abuja.

Lagarde was speaking after meeting President Muhammadu Buhari on a four-day visit that will also see her hold talks with the central bank governor and business leaders.

Nigeria, Africa’s number one oil producer, has seen revenues dive over the last year because of the fall in global crude prices, causing a cash crunch that has forced it to tighten spending.

The naira currency has also slumped and GDP growth stalled to under 3.0 percent, while inflation is nudging 10 percent.

Lagarde described the talks as “excellent” and said they touched on “the challenges ahead stemming from the oil price reduction” and the need to find different revenue sources.

They also discussed “the necessity to apply fiscal discipline and the need to respond to the population’s needs, improving the competitiveness of Nigeria and focusing on the short-term fiscal situation”.

Buhari has made reviving the flagging economy one of his key priorities alongside cutting endemic corruption and government waste, and improving transparency and accountability.

Lagarde said they were “very ambitious goals that need to be delivered upon”.

Nigeria last month unveiled a 6.08-trillion-naira (about $30-billion, 27-billion-euro) budget, increasing investment on capital expenditure to stimulate growth and lower dependence on crude.

Lagarde said it was not her place to “approve or comment on the budget”.

But she disclosed the IMF would undertake a review and audit from next week “to really assess whether the financing is in place”.

It would also look at “whether the debt is sustainable, borrowing costs are sensible and what must be put in place in order to address the challenges going forward”.

SELECTIVE AMNESIA OP............................HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN THE EFFECT OF SANUSI IN ALL THESE?

WHAT SANUSI DID WAS TO UNDO THE WORK OF SOLUDO AND INCREASE JOB LOSES AND THE OPPOSITION WAS CLAPPING FOR HIM BECAUSE IT SUITED THEM.............

PLEASE ERASE SOLUDO AND WRITE SANUSI.
