This got me thinking if you are mentally sound. "it is only a crooked man that will attribute all the anomalies today to PMB." You want to exonerate PMB but crucify GEJ for our present woes? If NOI had predicted harsh times what is our president supposed to have done before manning his position?
He (PMB) is also to be blamed.

This your write up didn't get me thinking you're a slowpoke. It clearly proves you're a slowpoke with an empty shell devoid of grey matter resting on your neck.

If you come into a house and you meet it dirty and falling apart, whom should we blame? you the new tenant or the old tenant too dumb and wicked to keep a domicile neat and safe?

If we don't blame gej, whom should we blame?

In case you're too shallow to know it, we will only start blaming you the new tenant if you refuse to start the house cleaning and i'm not happy with PMB because in my estimation, the cleaning and reorganization is proceeding slowly

drss:
i no blame una. Too much military rule don destroy una psychy sotay una no know d right tin. Judas ameachi through him gang of Governors took GEJ to court dat eca was illegal n dat all monies must be shared. Una support am well well. Una say GEJ wan save d money chop am. GEJ gave una d money. Then gbam! Oil price fall! una con dey blame GEJ for depleting eca sake of say GEJ na democrat way respect d rule of law.
Ok make we see wat una beloved Dictator will do to salvage d Zoorian economy since una say dictator like buari no dey tolerate nonsence.

I no blame una too at all after all GEJ was able to convince you that stealing isn't corruption so since he saw nothing wrong in spending the ECA anyhow he wanted without recourse to the law, Amaechi and co too didn't want to miss out on the windfall.

What did GEJ save? How much did he meet in the Excess crude account? how much did he leave there?

See Soludo your brother ripping him apart on this issue

But BUHARI stated it clear that he will Stabilise World Oil Price.

since you heard him say it, what is stopping your march to Aso rock to demand he does that?

Anyway no need to panic. CHANGE is here since May 29 when we did away with continuity at Abuja level, not so

I applaud the wisdom in pairing Buhari and Osinbajo.

One General. One Professor. One Nigeria.

You're the stockholm syndrome patient my friend.

A man couldn't save the country during time of boom. yet you still believe he could save you when the economy has gone bust?

you need help my friend

drss:
hahahahhahaha! una don dey take Ngozi Okonjo serious now abi? I thought una say she be mad woman? But una never remember say NOI predicted oil price fall since 2012 n her desire to save funds through Soverieng wealth fund n eca when una hero judas ameachi took fg to court over eca n swf?
Anyway buari is a dullaaardd. D zoo is going down.

But the same Ngozi spent months denying there was any problem? was she hallucinating or on drugs then?

You see the problem with you and your ilk is your haste to forget that GEJ was an EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT FOR CHRIST SAKE!!! how can Amaechi usurp his powers?? Do you take orders from your child, junior siblings or girlfriend? He was supposed to be in charge my friend.

How did you think OBJ was able to pay off debts, and still leave substantial savings for Yardua/GEJ? or Didn't they also take him to court? It was by knowing he was president and putting his foot down as the president my friend. an attribute GEJ desperately lacked. even PEJ would have been a stronger president.

Let any gov forum chairman try that nonsense with PMB today.....you'll surely scream he has gone back to being a dictator and i dare say that is what Nigeria needs now....A DICTATOR NOT AFRAID TO TAKE THE VERY HARD AND TOUGH DECISIONS.

permsec:
One thing you should know is that Leaders must be Optimissitc no matter the conditions surrounding.


About oil price boom, well, it is keen to note that the previous govt really spent money in purchasing heavy arms to clear the menace caused by the BH. Is that the ony thing money was spent on? NO! Our govt both past and present indulge in reckless spendings. I'm not taking side though.

I agree with being optimistic and it's not only about the leaders, even the populace need to be.

However, it's necessary to know where you're coming from so you know how you'll get out of the mess. That i think is what this govt is doing. I will say i'm not impressed with the pace but being slow is better than rushing into disaster.

With honesty of purpose and determination, we will get out of the economic quagmire i firmly believe.

Iykopee:
Buhari's brand of cluelessness is made in Afghanistan. Under six months of his govt and Nigeria is practically dead in its economies... There has been an unprecedented sack of private sector workers and he's just moping around like a pig without solution to it.

Nigeria had been dead in that context before PMB came in. I admit PMB is not doing enough but his less than enough is better than GEJ who presided over record oil sales yet still led us into economic problems. Also Job losses started under your hero even with the oil boom

will you now admit he was the definition of clueless?

permsec:
Bia, the poster talking about okonjo iweala predicting harsh economic climate within this period, where you and your ilks not condemning that woman of being a poor economist? Now you wanna make her as a reference point. Make God forgive you.

Every slowpoke in the country knew we were in problems then and would be for a long time so Ngozi said nothing new. In fact, she had lived in denial for a long time before admitting the truth some months before the elections because it was dumb and childish to keep lying to oneself.

What folks were angry and sad about was why Nigeria had to suddenly go broke less than 6 months after enjoying oil at record prices?

How must that make her feel as a world class economic expert? That after regaling us with how wonderful our economy was doing, she had to do a volte face and admit it was all a farce?

^^^^^ of course the pace is slow but making it look like GEJ could have done better today with oil @ $46/barrel when he couldn't @ do so with oil @ over $100/barrel is delusionary at best and dishonest at worst

Firefire:
You are still living in the past my friend, Buhary and APC took over the economy more than six months ago, half-a-year is enough to measure economic growth. What have we seen so far ?

Regression, downsize, hardship, businesses closing up, corporate profitability index graph shifting inward, unfortunately Nigeria is completely sliding into full recession.

Let see the magic from the "Noise Makers"

Hear what Dr Okonjo Iweala said 5 days after PMB was sworn in

Nigeria’s former Finance Minister [size=14pt]Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said her successor will face a “difficult” year because of plunging oil revenues[/size] and the economy needs expert management to weather the storm.

[size=14pt]“We have a serious situation with a cash crunch,”[/size] she said in an interview with Bloomberg in Cape Town, South Africa at the World Economic Forum on Africa.

“But fundamentally, the economy is strong. If we can get through the cash crunch, manage the way through, build on some of the assets we have, by next year, things will be better.”....................

http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2015/06/okonjo-iweala-warns-nigeria-tough-times-ahead/

she and other experts had also predicted harsh economic climate for the nation in February, 3 months before PMB was sworn in

http://www.nigerianbulletin.com/threads/nigeria-the-poor-are-about-to-get-poorer-experts.108113/

So to every reasonable adult, it's very obvious that most of what we are grappling with today is a carryover from the previous govt. I will not give high marks to the current govt. I am not excited about the seemingly slow pace but you should know that it is only a crooked man that will attribute all the anomalies today to PMB.

Aareonakakanfo:
The same issue Lagos is facing with regards to romanis is the same issue Ibadan is facing with regards to Hausas/Fulanis from the north

Ibadan is not only about Hausa/Fulani o.

Even well to do Niger Deltans are relocating in their numbers because of its serenity and abundance of good schools for children.

At least that's what pushed the colleagues I mentioned there.

superstar1:
Though, if other congruent cities also up their game, it will stem the wave of migration from other places into Lagos.

Ibadan is already expanding too due to the same migration. Two of my colleagues in portharcourt have already relocated their families to Ibadan and have even started building their houses there.

I don't know whether to or

superstar1:
The only way Lagos can ever be depopulated is if and only if Biafra sees the light of day.

Those guys keep migrating to Lagos on a daily basis like the Syrians are migrating to Europe.

Unfortunately, you're right

anonimi:
Why are you derailing your "feel-good" thread with yet another LIE.
You either show where I "obviously made Fayose my hero" or you are a completely useless LIAR.
FTR, I have vilified Fayose at least once on this thread when he was doing paparazzi of cleaning gutter.

Congrats on your condemnation of Fayose.

I hope we can proceed in peace and decorum now?

Will you also follow Jonathan to Lower Niger republic if/when Nigeria finally disintegrates? Abi wetin concern an ijaw man with this thread?

How many derogatory names have you seen folks here call Fayose who is obviously a 'hero' to you?

Why not respect yourself and your 'yorubaness' by staying on the trajectory of the thread? If you're being paid to support PDP, why not restrict your support to the threads promoting such?

Shymexx, ilekehd, aare and others have apportioned blames rightly to all politicians from both sides of the divide which goes to show that this thread isn't about promoting any party so what exactly is eating you up?

Is it by force you contribute here? Why not allow folks like us learn in peace here?

If you're really Yoruba, you won't disturb the peace of this thread.

Abeg oga, free us in the name of whatever you hold in reverence pls.

Kestolovee95:
How will sack them, when they are profiting from the rot called zoogeria? Harold wilson the PM during the Biafran war had shares in Shell BP at that time. So Biafra meant bad business for him.

Did he also have shares in BAT?

Your dumbness knows no bounds.the way its easy for you to believe the ediocy you propagate should provide ample research opportunities for psychologists interested in study of humans and their delusions of grandeur.

Keep it up

Anyway I am the monkey in a British lugardian cage in love with my chains? How can i understand?

Of course you can't understand as you're a self confessed animal resident in a Zoo. I'll remember you in my prayers for you to get free and enjoy what other humans are enjoying.

Kestolovee95:
Click that link and read the full story. I am a Brainless zoogerian imp!

Dunce, tell us when Shell and BAT are sacking their Nigerian employees to satisfy your dumb expectations?

Kestolovee95:
Well don Sir Branson. To all billionaires if you have any nigerian on your payroll, sack the i.diots! They are criminals!

If they call themselves Biafrans, Oduans, or Arewans, you can spare them. Zoogeria is a fraud, zoogerians are fradulent monkeys and baboons. Sack the animals!

When is Shell Petroleum sacking all the Nigerians in their employ? What about British-American Tobacco based in Ibadan? Have they written to inform you of when all Nigerians on their payroll are going home?

I really wonder about the thinking capacity of some of you

Abeg the politicians should spare us the politics here pls. There are enough threads for that.

Here Tinubu and Fayose are the same because they both belong to this elegant tribe of Yoruba.

Folks like me who know pretty little about the SW are learning about home here.

I wish Hameed Ali the best in his task....but he won't find it easy

Shymm3x:
Isn't the meagre oil money the same reason why some of these lazy folks like "one-Nigeria"? How much do they even get from the oil? They all shared N300 billion last month. That's about £1 billion. How can you even develop and run a country of over 180 million heads with something as small as that? Bear in mind that 50% of the money will be looted, while 30% will go to recurrent expenditure - with only 20% left for the people. You can make over 10x in other sectors if these folks can leave the oil alone and diversify the economic.

London (not the UK) generates over 20x what the whole Nigeria shared last month, monthly from banking alone. And that's just a city. The South South folks need to take their oil and keep it to themselves - and let's see if these folks won't get busy.

This post of yours is so on point but I like the bolded portion best. Let the oil serve those in the vicinity of it while others focus on their land.

My alma mater (OAU) I learnt was built with cocoa money. I wonder which oil state will be able to replicate such project today.

This whole discussion on agriculture is giving me plenty things to think about. I really have heard some home truths today from you guys.

Eledumare a ro ojo aanu, ibukun ati alafia si agbegbe gbogbo yin o

Gbawe:
Completely true. Many nations are trying their best to help us nail the cronies of GEJ , and recover Nigeria's wealth they have stashed away, because of the wicked and destructive level of looting the Nigerian state suffered at the hands of Ali Baba (GEJ) and his forty thieves (Allison-Madueke et al).

I hope the issue is pursued to its logical conclusion. The country could utilise those funds very well in these trying times

modath:
Your head over correct jare, 5 orijin for you.




They will ccontinue to wail noni.

bettercreature:
Its serious and i wonder what this government is doing about it

Of course the way Oshiomhole talked about it then, its obvious they're working on it.

Diezani's confinement to UK till next year isn't for nothing. Read somewhere that USA, UK and Switzerland are collaborating with Nigeria on the matter

bettercreature:
So oshiomole was actually saying the truth that USA told them somebody stole $6 billion

This is the part that got me thinking too.

So Oshiobaba didn't make up stories?

wachakuta:
OHHH.. May God Bless dis Man

May God bless PMB for Bringing him

May God bless PDP for discovering PMB

@the bold

If wailers catch you ehn.....

And somebody wants me to pity MTN

dustmalik:
Debt grew massively under GEJ's administration

Very terrible bro but you're right. See the below

An official of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, told Vanguard last weekend that foreign debt would hover around USD10.7 billion by end 2015, showing over 200 per cent up from USD3.5 billion recorded by the debt relief deal of 2006. DMO records show USD10.3 billion as at June this year.

I hope GEJ 'the gentleman' in his meeting with PMB today explained what he and his 'girls' did with the money? And to think this debt was amassed during the period when the country enjoyed record oil prices and relative peace in the Niger Delta.

We all love to bash OBJ but the 'monster' brought sanity to our financial state. His biggest error was the 3rd term bid which resulted in him forcing Yaradua/Jonathan on the country perhaps as punishment.

Anyway....I no go talk
