No honest man will ever tremble that Hus money is unsafe in the banks. It is the guilty that are afraid.

Don't mind them! Nigerians are corrupt that's why! Most of their wealth is not from a legal source that's why they are all afraid!

Buhari said he was going to fight corruption and that's what he is doing!

project8:
i tink ur d one showing ur ignorance.well i rest my case cos i wont argue wit sumone who doesnt understand simple explanation

Why chicken out?

Have you heard of the word whistleblower?

Let me not waste my time with you!

Liberty90:
yorubaa brain...hypocrisy. How did Buhari become a billionaire to own 4 billion worth of House in Abuja? How did Buhari afford to pay his children school fees in London worth over 50,000 pounds per a person per semester? How did Tinubu become a billionaire? Dull thing!

Is Buhari a billionaire? I didn't know that! Tell me more.

Do you know how many middle class parents in Nigeria whose children school abroad?

Your comparison shows you lack simple analysis. Studying abroad is no big deal!

MosesNG:
Pls if you can tell me whether the 11bn borrowed by BMB and co wasn't out of other ordinary people's deposits, then you may actually be right but if it happens that the loan amount was from other depositors savings which it is obviously, I wonder what motivates you to support such act. 1 family which u dont belong to (sure of that) destroying the finances of a large number of the ordinary citizen's (where you belong; sure of that too) and ua okay with it. The quality of sense of an average Nigerian beats me!

Thank you sir

Some people's foolishness stinks! They keep supporting evil because of their blind hate for Buhari and sadly these are tongue speaking Christians hating. I wonder what is being preached in churches these days.

They habour so much hatred for the President such that no matter what he does, they will still hate!

I can tell you that man hasn't seen Ben Bruce before.

erusen:
common company, which one you get

Not everyone is as silly as you guys. Ben Bruce has been tweeting about how to run the cou try with just common sense and yet he can't run a common company.

I may or may not have but I'm won't criticise someone else for not doing well if I'm not doing well.

It's not a matter of having or not having a company. Some of you need to have your certificates torn and burn for failing comprehension!

So the common sense senator cannot even run a common company


yet he wants to tell President Buhari how to run Nigeria

project8:
akpabio hands are nt clean bt i doubt if its possible to withdraw a huge amount runnin into billions ib one day witout efcc and cbn knowing.come up wit anoda story pls

So if the EFCC and CBN didn't notice how come is in the media? Some of you always want to sound intelligent but end up showing your ignorance.

Do you work in the EFCC or CBN?

Liberty90:
Buhari will destroy this country. Wealthy Nigerians with perceived fear will start withdrawing their money and before you know it banks are out of cash. When ordinary folks like us come to withdraw our money, banks will start rationing withdrawals like Venezuela. Buhari...stop this unnecessary hit on the polity; we already have enough problems at hand.

Your ignorance stinks! How did Akpabio become a billionaire if not a trillionnaire?

Does he have an industry? What does he do for a living?

Please don't make that silly mistake of adding thieves to hardworking wealthy people. Why should anyone fear if your wealthy is clean and you can prove it?

Now the Niger Delta Avengers if truly they are concerned about the common man should know where to direct their fight to. Niger Delta leaders...

For those of you saying it's a lie, I just pity you that's all I'll say for now.

You keep crying and wailing everyday about the economy and at the same time supporting people who are destroying the economy; is that not foolishness? Continue wailing....

Barely 24 hours after news broke that the EFCC has frozen the personal account of Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, former Akwa Ibom State Governor and Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio who is currently being investigated by the EFCC over allegations of embezzlement of public funds and looting of over #2.7 trillion from the coffers of the Akwa Ibom State Government hurriedly withdrew #17.4 billion from his bank accounts.

The withdrawals were made simultaneously in Abuja, Lagos and Uyo the Akwa Ibom State capital. The money were withdrawn from Akpabio’s account in Zenith, Stanbic IBTC and GTB. An aide of the Secretary to the Akwa Ibom State Government (SSG) coordinated the Uyo withdrawal, an associate of the former Governor handled the Lagos withdrawals while a senior legislative aide at the office of the Senate Minority Leader took charge of the Abuja withdrawals. Investigation by our reporter reveals the withdrawals were done within a period of four hours.

Also, fear, panic, anxiety and apprehension was visible in Ukana, Akpabio’s ancestral hometown as an emergency meeting of Akpabio’s immediate family was summoned secretly on Tuesday night at the Ukana country home of Senator Akpabio, just hours upon receiving the news of the freezing of the bank account of the Governor of Ekiti State. Sources privy to the meeting confided in our reporter that the likelihood of the EFCC freezing the accounts of other members of the Akpabio dynasty was also discussed.

A visibly shaken family member was alleged to have faulted Akpabio’s call for the immunity clause to be extended to principal members of the National Assembly, insisting that apart from compelling the anti graft agencies to beam more searchlight on Akpabio, his advocacy is capable of instigating a more aggressive investigation on the finances of Akwa Ibom State from 2007-2015, especially coming at a time Akpabio’s former finance commissioner and colleague in the Senate, Senator Bassey Albert is also asking for amnesty to all who have looted the state treasury.

A cousin to the Senate Minority Leader who benefitted from several contracts running into billions of Naira when Akpabio was Governor was said to have been cold and sober all through the meeting and hurriedly cancelled his trip to Dubai. He was initially billed to travel to the emirate country with his family. The meeting which lasted for more than three hours was also attended by a regional manager of one of the new generation banks in Uyo.

egopersonified:
It's what we were taught by our parents, going to school and getting employed by the government was how they succeeded. This is why some states used to be referred to as civil service states. Thing is, times have changed. Now those who started out on their own are making waves compared to those who went to school.

Wow... I'm so proud of you. I really like the way you reason.

What you said is actually true. The era of going to school to graduate and get a job is gone!


The era we live in demands innovative thinking and creativity!

You are very correct! An average Nigeria youth complains a lot and believes that he or she shouldn't do anything but wait to be spoon fed by the government.

In as much as the government has its own responsibilities, times have changed, the economy is growing tighter by the day so expecting goodies from the government is not what will happen soon.

I also think that youths because lazy because the last regime really gave out money to people for doing nothing and so most youths are not used to working for themselves rather they are used to be being given money for doing nothing, I mean nothing.

They are lots of millionaires from the last administration who got their millions from doing absolutely nothing as such youth is really against the FG fight against corruption, because they realise that they need to make refunds to the FG.

Good thinking Sir

I just wanted that FTC seat that's all!




Read my comments below

Wailers won't be happy to read this

No matter how much they try to bring Buhari down, he keeps rising...


More is coming! By the time the N power takes off eh... Nigerians as usual will start saying something else...

Wailers won't be happy to read this

Udom is a scam and an impostor, Akwa Ibom people did not vote for him!

Akwa Ibom is now a state with no direction yet instead of focusing to govern, he is all over the place with his sychophants spreading propaganda of industrialization.

The transition committee that are about to be sacked were very useless. All of them did nothing even to sweep the streets. The streets are now very dirty and most of them do not even go to work. They all relocated to Uyo from their Local Government Councils.

It's a shame that Akwa Ibom is part of a state that is looking for bailout, a state that used to get between N20bn - N30bn every month during the oil boom all thanks the trickster of uncommon transformation, Godswill Akpabio. He made most people in Nigeria to believe that Akwa Ibom was 'okay', so what suddenly happened?

Another set of compensation on the way because the new council charimen will still do nothing!

Itoroetti:
Thomasthomas, u were always blaming previous government even for ur inability to poo, so why do u now expect us not to blame this government? Oh now u feel the heat and ure now trying to show how good u are.
My brother, park well.

Who is stopping you from wailing... Go ahead and wail

Meanwhile, I'm blaming everyone including the government at various levels; Federal, State and Local.

Go and farm and stop expecting food from the FG alone, what are you and the state and LG doing?

Where is the University? I only see Kachikwu with villagers or are those the students?



I'm confused her, show me the University.

yaki84:
can u show us ur farmland u hv cultivated over the yrs?

when lazy fool dey call anoda lazy, pathetic is the word!

Well I'm not here to exchange words with unserious complainers like you. You can keep on complaining about government not spending money on the importation of rice etc

I won't open a thread to tell people to be industrious when I'm not myself. People like you are not progressive or inspiring.

To me your comment is as useless as my shit in the toilet because immediately I get up I just flush the shit away

Totally useless!...

deji15:
I like this topic. Hope it will challenge and inspire our youths into getting into farming. Enough of excuses. Just do it. Look for land (inherited land from village, rent or buy) and plant food. Like many other things, the current high cost of food item is a function of local supply versus demand.
For prices to crash, supply needs to go up. Be part of the solution.

Thank you for your observation. I wish the mods will get the thread to front page.

I see miles and miles of uncultivated lands even in the villages. At a time like this, if we have more food supply then the hardship would have been much lighter.

Let's be industrious guys, those countries we are expecting food from are very industrious before they can feed our large population and making money too from our being lazy.

Let's start eating healthy foods with preservatives

newbornmacho:
you r lovely.

Come lover boy, we dey talk farming and food you dey talk love. Na love she go chop?

You no go go find land begin farm before you come dey talk love here...

Earth2Metahuman:
so many Okays

Anyhoo, central bank handles the money or any finances that belongs to government all over the world.
except special banks funded by government for financial or AIDs purposes. Like the Islamic banks in some countries or government owned micro finance banks.
Private banks run on money from public not government all over the world..
That's why banks will start begging you to come and collect loans in well oorganized society with very low interest rate unlike Nigeria where banks don't even give a crap about customers and would rather loan money to politicians than smes.

Its simple, and all these stories is not needed. Central bank suppose to run on government money cost its government bank while private banks suppose to run the private sector and not turn to another CBN.
If a bank cannot survive without government money, it should fold up. Simple.

Seriously, you been go school and you been dey attend lectures and also dey lisyten to your lecturers.

Good boy!

Bank will now have to reduce their interest rate and lend money to businesses because free government money is not here again.

mikolo80:
LG are appointed by governors today.
They only conduct election 6 months to passing out after 2nd term. And new governor Will sack them and appoint his own ppl so they don't control any budget. State claim they're administering projects on their behalf.

So unless you are appointed and you have ambition most lga chairmen Just chop dia own and Hope they are ''promoted '' like wike that was made minister and is now governor.

Sad but hopefully we Will change these anomalies

If the LGAs get their allocations straight to their coffers from FG, elections to the councils will be interesting and good candidates will contest and development can really be micro managed at that level.

mikolo80:
not really. Simply double peasant farmers productivity with fertiliser, Mech and or irrigation. There's a hundred million of them

What do the various Agricultural agencies of government doing sef? It's only FG that you will hear talking of farmers, the LG don't do anything concerning farming.

We need more farmers to give us more food instead of crying about the high price of imported food!

mikolo80:
then gada 1000 farmer investors. First bank has over a million shareholders getting peanuts from their investment. I won't talk about other banks and insurance companies. All this 12 kobo dividend on 70 naira investment when they can double their money in Agric.

Imagine Catholic church coops investing in farms.
Teacher coops
Civil servant coops
Police
Army
Nlc
Coca Cola, Nnpc staff coops
Start somewhere
Grow
If you like give 9 women belle
Na still 9 months you go wait. To born d pikin

Hahaha... Some banks dividend can be embarrassing. imagine getting 37 kobo


You are right, more cooperatives need to take up farming and stop discussing politics

cindybella101:
You mustn't start on a large scale, all successful businessmen started in a small way

For me, I can make do with subsistence farming but to overcome this food shortage, then huge amounts of money needs to be invested.

Some Nigerians who steal money and keep abroad should bring it back and invest in agriculture. There has to be food. Government too at all levels should give out loans to small farmers to become big as well!

You can't imagine how large the farm I always dream of having. I just want to cultivate one LGA out of the 774 LGAs in Nigeria only me.

einst3in:
abeg leave the man. Hunger never catch us well for this country that is why everybody is waiting for a perfect agricultural policy. The truth is if you so much want to eat foreign rice and the price has gone up, who is stopping anybody from growing your own and feeding yourself. The land is there brekete.

I wonder people complain of foreign rice being expensive when there is local rice.

If you must eat rice, eat Abakaliki rice forget Thailand rice if you can't afford it

Better still, grow your own.

mikolo80:
don't you have money?
We all have money.
Just not as much as them
We just need to pool it
And invest
Start small
Scale up
Hammer
Relax more for us

yes, I agree but it will take a very long time as far as farming is concerned. We need large scale farmer. From 1000 hectres up...

chimah3:
Oh sure! We all did! Many that grew up with me are graduates with great jobs and families now!

I was raised right sir!

That's the reason they will see me 20years after and still respect my family!

That's nice! Kudos to your parents,but you know that's just one in a million.

Selfishness and greed has taken up everywhere.

mikolo80:
how many is dangote exporting. You import 1 billion dollars of rice, 1 of sugar about 4 of wheat that's over 1.2 trillion local consumption. Must you wait for govt to get your own share

It's sad! People that have money to invest in agriculture prefer it to liein their accounts while they cry for lack of food!

People with money need to tap into that huge market!
