Dear President Muhammadu Buhari,

Good morning to you and congrats on your second address to the United Nations General Assembly, that place where nations say whatever they like even when no one takes them seriously. The UN General Assembly is the most disunited gathering on earth yet year after year, the mockery goes on.

Now, I hear that your government is pushing for the sale off of our national assets. I hear also that these include going concerns, one of which is our cash cow, NLNG. Haba!

First, dear GMB, let the Finance Ministry account for the proceeds from:
(1) removal of petroleum subsidy which has added (or saved) N58 per litre into our coffers. At 41 million litres daily consumption, this amounts to a daily savings of approximately N2.4b daily from so-called subsidy. In a year, that would be nearly one trillion naira saving.

(2) the N50 tax on deposits higher than N1,000 into any bank account is hard to total but I suppose it should give us trillions in additional revenue.

(3) improved corporate tax collection, borrowed from Lagos State, has driven up revenue to an amount only the IRS can tell, if they will tell, but we know that it should be in hundreds if billions of naira.

(4) recovered stolen money from PDP thieves and recently improved oil exportation amounts to hundred of billions of naira also.

Second, sir, why can't I shake off this feeling that the APC government is looking for what to sell to its cronies just as the PDP sold our assets to themselves and became so rich that each of them can buy a state in Nigeria? Aliko Dangote, who boldly proposed this sale, is waiting to buy up the remaining Nigeria. What has he not already bought so far?

Thirdly, if the recession is caused, as your people claim, by the fall in oil price and especially by the reduced production and exportation due to militancy, why don't you solve the militancy problem? Is it impossible to solve?

The question is, when you have sold our national assets and we have consumed the proceeds, or your government has squandered it, and oil prices remain low and the militants remain undefeated or unpersuaded, what will you do then? Will you sell us to the highest bidder, oh GMB?

I am not an economist or a businessman but that does not mean that I am not running an economic activity. That does not mean that I don't know what happened in the past when governments sold assets. Governments destroy past investments and then sell them off. In your own case, you are trying to sell off profitable investments.

How the APC would have screamed if it was the PDP that proposed this!

If i were you, I will snap a picture in front of the CLOSED market with today's paper in my hand and post it here to convince doubters like me.

People have already posted the pictures of closed markets. Thank you and more so, I am in lagos.

My guy thunder I was in Nsukka market this morning before the rain fall, shops were opened as early as 8am, students are going to school, life here is normal.. Can't go back to the market to have snaps of it to convince any body. Call and ask bro, then u will be more convinced. [b]Abi ur papa no they Biafra [/b]lol

@otimise

I am not an Igbo man, I am a Remo (Ijebu) man from Sagamu, Ogun State and I live in Lagos State.

My dream is for a true and united Nigeria where everybody is given equal opportunity and sense of belonging but what we have now is not an ideal state. Whatever you permit will increase, the way the Igbos are maginalised today will soon get to me if it is not corrected.

otimize:
Am reporting life from Enugu, everywhere is busy... Market here open o!!!

If i were you, I will snap a picture in front of the opened market with today's paper in my hand and post it here to convince doubters like me.

Very soon now, just before the sun goes down, because of the success recorded so far in this protest, some overzealous law enforcement agents will begin to enter people's bedroom to carry out arrests since there is nobody outside to arrest or use as shooting practice.

Change is here, enjoy it while it lasts but always remember we predicted these. I told you during the election campaign that all the evil people in PDP were the one that left for APC because they couldn't cope with GEJ style of governance. Guess what? We have just started ...

In APC voice
"Dickson bribed the Justices of the Court of Appeal, one of them is a wife to the ancestral brother of mother of Dickson's father. We saw them last Saturday before the judgement playing gulf together. This is a rape of Democracy. We are going to appeal the judgement"

apasino01:
I am a huge fan of GEJ

But if this woman stole arrest already

Efcc never said she stole the money but proceed of gratification but I can tell you that Patience's defense will be that the money were appreciation from friends she helped. No law against appreciation, they all collect if from people they helped to get contract.

I have helped people that sent recharge cards to me, some I rejected, some I loaded. Some sent cards, bag of rice, some paid for my birthday cakes, shirts etc. They are all in our African culture of appreciation.
I recently helped an engineer to get a contract and he brought a bottle of wine to show appreciation. Was not expecting it bc the contract sum was small but I appreciated his appreciation.

Yorubamafia:
The Igbo's need to realize that unity is the key to obtaining development. America instead of breaking up decided to Unite and form a powerful and developed country. Nigeria is the next big power to emerge from Africa. We need all regions of the country to contribute it's qouta to hasten development. The British Empire merged us because of the diversity and potentials we have which shows we have a promising future. Biafra is not what the Igbo's should demand but presidency so they can have a sense of inclusion in the Nigerian project

I agree with you on this. But as it is, the region is marginalised and Buhari is not helping matters with his utterances, actions and body languages. You don't foster UNITY by treating other non Fulani regions as if they are conquered territories.

Life continues which ever way.

But seriously, this is not the time for all these luxuries except you are or related to one of *them.

He should have resigned since yesterday. One more second on that seat is more second of trouble for the country.

AntiWailer:
If they pick the cursed Bastar*d.

Wailers and their PDP looters desperate for protection will scream Tyrant.

You are threatening the President Of A Country with Gun Shot.

The guy may be referring to the other Buhari, I mean the dog named Buhari. Cant see where he mentioned or refer to the President here.

grodt999:
You assumed the whiteman brought me Education! You have a very low IQ!

Lets see,
History of education: The systematic provision of learning techniques.

Starting in about 3500 B.C., various writing systems developed in ancient civilizations around the world. In Egypt fully developed hieroglyphs were in use at Abydos as early as 3400. oldest known alphabet was developed in central Egypt around 2000 B.C. from a hieroglyphic prototype. One hieroglyphic script was used on stone monuments, other cursive scripts were used for writing in ink on papyrus, a flexible, paper-like material, made from the stems of reeds that grow in marshes and beside rivers such as the River Nile.

The Phoenician writing system was adapted from the Proto-Canaanite script in around the 11th century BC, which in turn borrowed ideas from Egyptian hieroglyphics. This script was adapted by the Greeks. A variant of the early Greek alphabet gave rise to the Etruscan alphabet, and its own descendants, such as the Latin alphabet. Other descendants from the Greek alphabet include the Cyrillic script, used to write Russian, among others.

Please explain the bolded part of your message to me bc I was wondering how you could trace the history of education back to Christ you do not believe exists.

President Buhari said he inherited nothing from previous government starting from OBJ, Yar Adua and Goodluck Jonathan.

Kindly state anything you can remember he inherited from previous governments.

Dreadful:
Bro my granny sold many lands to his tenants and all through those documents I can't find the Deed of Assignment to prove my granny has transfered all his rights to these buyers. What should we do bro?

Send private message. I will reply you therein.

ANENEANDASSOC:
Deed of assignment is mere paper not backed by law .But Power of attorney is a legal document transferring ownership of property from one party to another. it is signed,sealed and stamped and entered .It is very essential when processing your certificate of occupancy moreover i hope you have checked with AGIS and FCDA the authenticity of such land that you purchased. ..If you need enlightenment contact me on whatsapp 08024808190. m an estate surveyor and valuer.

Leave trash for lawma. You discuss what you knoweth not. It is not a must to contribute especially if it is not your field.

platinumtt:
Hello Professionals,

Please help. I just bought an AMAC land. The seller told me to get a power of attorney document for him to sign. When I asked about deed of assignment, he said he has no information as he is not used to that. In Lagos, we do get deed of assignment after buying a plot of land as this is a very important document. Could someone explain power of attorney and deed of assignment issue as it impacts buying of land in Abuja.

http://www.naijalandproperties.com/community/fct-abuja-3/what-is-the-difference-between-power-of-attorney-and-deed-of-assignment/

Power of Attorney is given by a principal to an agent to act on his behalf. It could be ordinary or irrevocable power of attorney. The extent of what an agent can do for the principal are usually stated in the POA.

Deed of Assignment is the document a seller executes for a buyer assigning all or part of his interest in a parcel of land to a buyer. Usually, we use it for a land that already has a C of O but in practice it is used for all land transactions. We may call it Deed of Conveyance, Deed of Sale, Deed of Transfer etc. But what is important is that the person executing it must have power to sign because you can't give out what you don't have. You will need it with receipt (family receipt) to process your C of O or governor's consent.

The owner of a land may appoint an Agent to help sell the land through POA but any agent relying on POA to sell must have been empowered to do so. A clause in the POA must say that expressly. Still at that the Agent or the original owner must execute either Deed of Assignment, Deed of Sale, Deed of Transfer or Deed of gift (if given free) before valid titliis passed, assigned, conveyed, transfered or sold to you.

Finally, please get a lawyer before it turns to a story that touches.

VivaDeAngelo:
where is your estate located please?

Grace Park & Gardens, Mowe - Ofada Axis, Porogun Village, Obafemi Owode Local Government, Ogun State. You may visit www(dot)barifecrealtieslimited(dot)com for more information.

Some years ago, I used to buy any phone I like the week it is launched even before it gets to Nigeria market and most times very expensive e.g I bought Z10 @ N116k, I bought 2 bc I change my wife's phone whenever I change mine. I bought Samsung note 10.1 tablet @ N126k. Nokia N9 Dstv edition, can't remember the price again and the smaller Dstv Nokia phone for my wife. Even the Camon C9 and Boom J8 we are using now were bought at virgin prices the week they were launched.

I hv realized that I was stupid to have wasted so much money on those products then because the amount could have bought some numbers of blocks on my house projects.

Now Z10 is about N20k and those Nokia phones do not exist again. Oju to ba farabale, a r'imu. If you can learn to wait, you will use it someday.

With N400k, you can get a half plot of land at our estate, Grace Park and Garden, and still have some change to fence it at barifecrealtieslimiteddotcom

APC and PMB know no girl is missing. It is irritating to see them daily asking for the impossible. You only find what is lost.

The summary and results of all the above points is that, there will be money in the land. People making clothes, caps, T-shirt etc will have jobs and money will flow for businesses and taxes will be paid to the government. Still better than a government that kept all the monies to itself.

Mr. Godwin Emefiele’s Report: Quote

“It is either I do not understand economics and how exchange rates work or a vast majority of us Nigerians still don’t get how we have wrecked our country with our own curious choices.

Just this morning, I was listening to the radio and the lady on air went on and on about how she thought CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele was incompetent and should be sacked because the Naira was now exchanging at 309 or so to the USD.

“That view pretty much echoes the sentiments expressed by many people I know and it amazes me that there are Nigerians who actually think there is some magic POLICY that can make the Naira strong in the near term. If my economics and my understanding of the way the world works are right, then that is as far from the truth as Jesus Christ is black.

“The simple fact of the matter is that apart from oil that accounts for over 90% of our revenues, we really don’t have much of an economy. We hardly produce anything, we import even toothpicks, so exactly what policy is going to be implemented that will turn Nigeria into a top exporting economy in the near term? Where are our Apples, IBMs, Disneys, GMs, General Electrics, Coca Colas, Empire State buildings, Statues of Liberties, Lockheeds, Citibanks, JP Morgans, ExxonMobils, NBAs, Super Bowls etc? Let me bring that closer home.

“There was a time long ago when Nigeria had a truly strong economy and the naira was one to the dollar – even exchanged for higher than the USD, but that Nigeria is not this Nigeria. Sadly that Nigeria was laid by the British, and this Nigeria (if you don’t believe in the nonsensical imperialist conspiracies like me) – fueled by the DAMAGING Indigenization Decree, has been the creation of us Nigerians.

Back then we had a booming economy.

We were either the top, or among the top exporters, of timbre, cocoa, groundnuts, rubber, palm oil, etc, in the world. Nigerians not only holidayed at home in their villages, at Yankari Games Reserve, at Obudu Cattle Ranch, at Oguta Lake, at Ikogosi springs, at Gurara Falls, at Mambilla Platueau, etc, we attracted international tourists who brought in loads of foreign exchange. Even Nigerian schools were foreign exchange earners because they attracted foreign students.

“We had different car assembly plants – Peugeot, Volkswagen, Anamco etc. Nigerian government officials only bought vehicles assembled in Nigeria for official cars. We had a thriving sports industry. We were not Man United or Chelsea fans, we were Rangers or IICC fans. We had the Nduka Odizors, people made money from sports. We also had companies like Lennards and Bata producing school shoes in their thousands, we had the thriving Nigerian Airways and the Aviation School in the north that produced some of the best pilots in the world. In those days if you were brilliant you were respected much more than the crass money-miss-road contractors of today.

Most of the Aje Butters I knew had fathers who were university dons. Back then it meant something to ‘know book’. Our textile industry was alive and well. Just recently I watched a news report on the textile industry in Nigeria on CCTV News. Though the main focus was on the comatose status of the industry, I was stunned by the gigantic Kaduna Textile Mill built in 1957. I could go on and on.

“Today however, no thanks to our parents (and we must call them out the way Wole Soyinka did his generation) and many of us (and we should be remembered for failing our children if we continue like this), we have destroyed everything.

Today for instance Nigerian football (which comes easy to me obviously) doesn’t appeal to us, we have to fly across thousands of miles to watch ‘our’ clubs play. Every year we collectively burn billions of Naira being fans of clubs that give us nothing back, but some ‘entertainment value’ – simple pleasures for which we are ready to destroy the future of our children.

“Well people, payback time is here. Even with our ta-she-re money we all want to wear designer clothes and carry designer bags, Armani, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton etc. We all want to drive jeeps with American specs, our children must now school overseas and acquire the necessary accents to come back home and bamboozle their ‘bush and crass’ contemporaries that they left behind.

Who holidays in Nigeria anymore, is there Disneyland here? No one buys made-in-Nigeria school bags for their children, after all no Superman or Incredible Hulk or Cinderella on them.“We are no longer top exporters of anything and the demise of oil means we have zilch… zero. A country of 170M fashion-
conscious people has no textile industry. We take delight in showing how our made-in- Switzerland Aso Ebi is different class to everyone else’s.

When we help our musicians grow and pay them millions, they repay us by immediately shipping the monies overseas to produce their “i-don-dey-different-level” music videos. It makes no difference that distinctly Zulu dancers are dancing to a Nigerian highlife song.

“As stars concerned they also wed and holiday overseas to impress us all. All the musicians who acknowledge their Ajegunle roots now speak in a cocktail of strange accents to symbolise how much they have blown their monies overseas. Were we a more serious people, the highly popular Kingsway Stores of the past would probably have a thousand outlets pan Nigeria today supporting a massive agriculture industry among others, but today we have the likes of SPAR, Shoprite, dominating the retail industry while Kingsway is dead.

“And we Nigerians make it a
special point to shop from the Oyinbos who have ‘cleaner shops’, ‘better this and better that’. For our personal pleasure we don’t mind them dominating us in our own backyard and shipping proceeds overseas. I could go on and on, but I don tire. Even as you are reading this, stop for a moment and look around you. What you see will probably explain why we are lucky it is not N1000 to the USD yet. And don’t think for a moment that it cannot get there.

“Just continue to wear your Armani gear and Swiss-made lace, continue to spend your money on Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Barca and encourage your children to do same.

(My article tomorrow in my Saturday column in This Day is on the Nigerian champions Enyimba FC – Nigeria’s most successful club – not having a sponsor, yet Nigerian brands pay over N600m to Man United and Arsenal for sponsorship to impress us.) Ehhh, no problem, continue to tell me the NPFL is rubbish or the clubs should clean up their act if they want sponsorship, mo gbo .
“Don’t curtail your interest in choice wines ( we were the number one champagne consumers in the world in 2015), continue to love your American specs, cheer the education ministry for letting schools sink to pitiable levels, don’t fight them to improve our schools, don’t chide them for letting schools drop Nigerian history and embrace British, America and whatever else curricular.
“Carry on with your love of French wines and Chinese silk, don’t bother about Jamiu Alli when there is Roger Federer. Stock up on your Italian, American, British products which you cannot live without, including the ‘baby soft’ toilet rolls produced only in that small unique village in England – the days are long gone since you were a broke student who used wet newspapers to wipe your butt.

“Don’t even consider holidaying in Nigeria, it’s too dangerous – you have to fulfill your dream of being Nigeria’s Henry Ford. Don’t listen to people like me who have a wardrobe full of only cheap adire that is actually cheaper than just one of your Tom Ford blazers. Please keep dressing in fine silk made in some exotic place so you can be addressed accordingly.

“Finally keep letting corrupt
leaders who have looted your
commonwealth and shipped all the monies overseas get away because to attack them does not fit your political narrative. Let us continue with the fine life, let us all continue to work for Oyinbo.

But don’t forget that there is a payback time.

Who has bought this phone?

Me. What is the problem?

One thing I am happy for in this government is that he made me a celebrity in the face of my friends because all I said APC and Buhari will do, that he/they is/are doing. Guess what! It is NYSC: Now Your Sufferings Continue

Instead to defend your reasonable points you raised above, they will come for your head. Sorry bro, they are programmed to react like that.@graphixplusng

Endtime fight. Oosa je n pe meji obinrin o si.

Earlier in the proceeding, Justice Ogunwumiju drew Ikpeazu’s attention to a letter from the Ali Modu Sheriff-led faction of the PDP that sought to withdraw the appeal.

The said letter was signed by the Deputy National Legal Adviser of the party, Bashir Maidugu.

Hope what we are thinking is not what Sheriff is doing in PDP.

This thing is even everywhere. Mods will never put this in fp to teach others in Nigeria that violence does not pay but if it is "Pastor kills his neighbor" news now, it will be posted to FP twice.
