...and what was Soyinka's role in all this. Was he forced?

I didn't vote for Buhari cause from antecedents he was projected to behave as his doing now

I didn't vote for Jonathan because he would have guaranteed more of the same

Petrol station beside residential property ?

He has come again

"The Minister of Finance, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, on Friday stated that the federal government would do all within its power to rescue the economy from the doldrums, asserting that Nigeria is too significant a country to fail.
Adeosun, who was reacting to calls by the World Bank President Dr. Jim Yong Kim and the IMF managing director Ms. Christine Largard for massive investment in infrastructure, said, “Nigeria is too big to fail and too significant in the region to underperform.”
Speaking on the sideline of the plenary session of the 2016 IMF/World Bank meeting in Washington DC, she said, “What we are trying to do is to rewrite Nigeria’s economic story so that we can grow, and to grow we need critical infrastructure like power, transport, housing.
“These are where we are redirecting expenditure from our recurrent where we thought there have been a lot of waste and leakages.”

Adeosun added that government is “redirecting spending to capital to create long term value.It’s tough in the short term but the long term benefits will be there for the future generation, we are confident of getting back to growth.
“If we invest in critical infrastructure there will be increased productivity, which will lead to job creation and prosperity for our people and it is very comforting to hear this coming from the highest levels that that is the way to go.”
The minister stated that Nigeria has aligned with the views of the multilateral institutions with regards to inclusive growth, stating that inclusive growth is one of the objectives of this administration to end poverty.
Government, she noted, is “investing heavily in education and as part of our social intervention programme we aim to engage more young graduates into primary schools because education,I’m sure, we will be soon start seeing improvements in our education indices.”

The fact that the sight of a seating governor elicits amusement and comments such as this below:

"To be sincere Rochas is really working"

is as worrisome as it is revealing

meanwhile...somewhere in the north of Nigeria...

e be like say dis people hope don enter voicemail!!!

Well done to the corps members but the use of the word STUNNING to describe what they did is demeaning!

This is why Nigeria is where it is and why 'some' youth who should know better are at the forefront of the rot!


Like someone said on this thread this is primary school grade stuff!

hmmm

Truth234:
President Muhammadu Buhari has presented a N7.298 trillion 2017 budget before the joint session of the National Assembly.

The presentation was made on Wednesday in Abuja with members of the senate and House of Representatives in joint session.

President Buhari said at the ceremony that government benchmarked the 2017 budget at N305 naira against one US dollar ($1) .

He said the budget is also predicated on daily crude oil production of at 2.2 million barrels and at $42 per barrel.

News Agency of Nigeria NAN

[quote author=mamabomboy post=51950353]Nigeria has struggled with debt to oil majors amid the fall in oil prices over the past two years, as well as due to production declines from peak production of 2.2 million bpd as a result of persistent militant attacks in the oil-producing Niger Delta region.

“I am happy with the intellectual approach of the military. In our time, there was no time for academic pursuit. It was all about war, coups and counter-coups,”

The import of this statement is sadder than it is funny

The import of this is sadder than it's funny

meanwhile...somewhere in the north of Nigeria....

I understand you

However the very structure upon which this nation is founded is flawed

Unless that is fixed there will be no change here, #2019

vodutive:
if you want to know the future of a country and the direction it is heading, look at how much it spends on education and Infrastructure. You can;t iindustrialise or diversify without infrastructure and you need a properly educated workforce to be competitive.

N52B is $150m, this is supposed to be shared by over 50 universities, at least 30 polytechnics, at least 20 teacher training colleges and numerous unity swcondary schools. Good luck to those who believe in the future of Nigeria.

Bhet is he not a comedian before?

sarcasm aside

vodutive:
I think you should be more worried at the paltry education budget

Very True but Nigeria's leaders have consistently under-budgeted in this area (which says a whole lot)

So not surprising that there's #NoChangeThere
