chukxie:
Keep Nigerians who have no business going there OUT! Some Nigerians know how to mess up any opportunity they see. I be 9ja but make we talk true as e be.

you got that right

currentprice:
he wasn't referring to Peter the VP candidate. he was referring to peter the Octopus

I'm lost

eleojo23:
Anybody can be the VP be it SW, SE or NC

Why are some south westerners whining? Are Igbos not also Nigerians? Must you people always be the chosen ones?

The South West will be feeling high now thinking that they are the only ones who will decide the outcome of the election until the Middle Belt destroys their calculation.

SE = Atiku
SS = Atiku
Half North - Atiku
MB= Atiku
Half SW - Atiku


Buhari will not sleep throughout this election period.

don't mind them

Agbalowomeri:
Now that Peter has entered, expect honeywell at 80kobo

why do you say that?

marvinsync:
if the north doesn't want anything to do with Igbos can u blame them when they say Biafra

if Nigeria is to truly exist then the north must learn to accept Igbos

but that's even if ur right

which is not even right

Raindrop123:
Tribalism The major problem of this shithole country

I tell you

Misterdhee1:
Politics isn't based on fairness. It's about creating bridges and expanding structures. Igbos play bitter politics and that will keep those two positions out of their reach forever.

kirkwood:
There is so much hate for the Igbos in this country. That is why this thread has to run till eternity. Nigeria is not a country, at last

Sadly so

tribal sentiment beclouding judgement

Lucid1:
L0L.

I'm a Buhari man but I respect what PDP is doing. Putting sentiments aside, Igbos deserve a shot it the No.1 or No.2 seat of power, it's long overdue.

I wonder o

though its a shame that tribe is a determinant in who we pick as our leader, I guess that's the reality on the ground

Ok let's look at it from the tribalist point of view

Obj was president for 8 yrs
osinbajo vp for 4 years
bankole was speaker for 4 years
(in the last 20 years of Nigeria democracy)

And the tribalist among them are not happy about the prospect of a VP from the SE

What kind of human beings are these

limeta:
Afonjas should just face their APC and leave PDP alone
VP from South East is just common sense
Yoruba vote or not Atiku will win

I wonder why they are pained that the vp choice is from the SE

what kind of people are these ones bikonu?

They are ready to vote in this dullard for us to suffer another 4 years because of "osinbajo factor"

Can't some of these people use their brain?

awoofawoo:
Lol You know nothing..... go Saudi and try that shit.........

what is this one saying
The guy is of Indian origin, not Saudi
And once more I repeat
An African is an African
period

oshe11:
He wasnt innocent per sè


He was probably gay bro
Condemn the act, not his innocence

some thing must be wrong with you
How does killing the boy change anything?

Why are you third world rats thinking backwards?

these animal Arabs with repugnant mentality
why kill the boy?
$hithole mentality people

awoofawoo:
Not pure African..... Arab Settlers like the Dutch in Namibia, Afrikaans in South Africa....

an African is an African

black, white or Asian

no such thing as "pure African"

And they have been in Tanzania for more than 100

Doerstech:
Yes, but he won't become even if Atiku goes East for VP..he needs someone with more clout

So it will be either of

Ngozi

Peter Obi

Soludo

or

Adesina.,....(SW)



It will be any of these 4...

I have nothing against youthful Chidoka who will definitely represent the SE well...but aside youthfulness where else does he fit into the criteria lay down for Atiku VP? on the economy and international reach? that's where NOI, Obi, Soludo and Adesina comes in....

you got that right

Olodo24:
I heard he's Aliko Dangote's side boo. so maintenance is key in this case.



disclaimer... don't quote me to say rubbish because I know what I'm saying

what is this one saying?

drakeli:
Inadmissibility for unlawful presence is referring to visa overstay. Not people that cross in over the fence without a visa. Your unlawful presence starts the day your visa expires. Hence you become inadmissible until a lawyer helps you out through one of several pathways to legalization. So this is absolutely referring to visa overstay and not people that cross in on foot from Mexico through Arizona desert or rivers or canal or jungle or whatever. So take it or leave it. As at today, no pathway to forgiveness for unlawful boarder crossing. There are more than 11million Mexicans and South Americans in the US. They wish they could be forgiven after many decades. Well...maybe one day. Who knows.

well they can keep living their life a day at a time

at least their descendant are Americans

that's the most important

ferhyntorlah:
I do wonder why,especially the Chinese, Lebanese and Indians.

that's because
1) they already have their capital to invest
And
2) regulations are lax, hence cutting corners and getting a higher ROI
And lastly
3 ( they are treated as royalty there
why won't they come, ?
most Nigerian people no get capital like them

Mcy56:
Lol. It is well.
I hope you have it at the back of your mind that investment carries its own risks.
Train your mind to expect anything/nothing from anyone so you wouldnt be too dissapointed when they let you down, to the extent that you will now be contemplating harm to yourself or someone else.

you got that right.

Nigeria’s fiscal crisis - BUSINESSDAY

OCTOBER 11, 2018

Last month, the budget office of the federation released the 2017 budget implementation report. According to the report, the federal government’s revenue for 2017 was N2.7 trillion, about half of its projected revenues for the year and 36 percent or one third of its projected expenditure of N7.44 trillion. Faced with the sharp fall in revenues, the government had to cut its expenditure to N6.5 trillion in 2017.

The government spent almost a trillion naira less than it planned to spend in 2017 but the final N6.5 trillion spent was still N3.8 trillion more than the federal government’s total revenues for the year. To fund the deficit, the government had to borrow a total of N2.5 trillion to help fund its financial obligations for the year. The government borrowed N1.2 trillion from the international capital markets and borrowed the balance of N1.3 trillion from the domestic capital markets, an amount that is more than the net increase in lending to the private sector in 2017 from financial institutions. The government got about three times more money from the banks than the private sector got from the banks.

However, the N2.5 trillion that the government borrowed from the banks to fund its deficit was not enough to plug the N3.8 trillion it created spending more than it earned in revenues in the year. This has left the government with a N1.3 trillion hole that it could not close in 2017. This means that there are some contractors sitting out there that have done jobs for the federal government that have not been paid and do not know when they will be paid or if they will ever be paid. The government obviously could not raise the money to pay these contractors. It could have taken on more loans to pay these contractors but apparently felt it was already too over burdened with debts to take on more loans. Contractor debts do not attract interest rates and the government can usually take its time repaying even though the businesses owed tend to suffer, with some collapsing while waiting to be paid for jobs duly executed.

But the government has a reason to be concerned about its debts that keep piling up. As at the end of December 2017, the country’s total debt stock stood at N22 trillion, which is the equivalent of US$71 billion, data from the Budget Office show. The debt stock went up by US$4.4 billion or N1.4 trillion in 2017. A breakdown of the debt shows that US$18.9 billion is owed to external lenders while the balance of N15.9 trillion is owed to domestic creditors. Already, the federal government has exceeded its own target of ensuring that the country’s total debts do not exceed 19.39 percent of economic output or GDP in any year. When the government closed its books in 2017, country’s total debt stood at 20.12 percent of GDP.

However, what would have given the government more concern is the rising debt service burden which is beginning to eat up two thirds of government revenues. Debt service consumed a total of N1.8 trillion in 2017. This represents 75 percent of the government actual revenues in 2017. The government is spending an average of eighty kobo of every one naira it earns servicing the debts it is accumulating. The amount spent on debt service is higher than the N1.6 trillion released for capital expenditure in 2017, of which N1.4 trillion was the amount actually utilized. The country is now spending more money servicing debts than putting in place the infrastructure that will help grow the economy to repay those debts.

This is enough to set off alarm bells, but there seem to be a conspiracy of silence. Yet the government has continued to borrow. The federal government is currently seeking a fresh $6 billion from the China Exim Bank for the construction of the Ibadan-Kano rail line. At the current rate, Nigeria may be unable to service its debt in the near future and we would be fully back to the debt trap that we exited in 2005

Mancala:
If you have the ability to raise $500k in Nigeria, why the heck would you plough it into a U.S. investment visa just for immigration benefits? Your return on invetsment will probably be be dismal with all the conditions attached to that route! If I was you, I will take that money and invest it in caribbean country or a country like Belize and make a killing. A certain Nigerian whom I will not name is the King of Sugar in Belize He makes a Kings ransome with very little investment.

I know the person his name starts with a ""

please tell me I'm right

An Asian country or a Latin American country is also a possibility; because those people have good roi as well.
I know an Igbo guy from my side operating a textile stop at Laos

Laos of all places

But depending on the business, ROI in America could also be very good as well


I have been doing my research on this subject matter, and though I am happy and accomplished to an extent where I am,; but I'm looking for New challenges in the near future

Look at the rubbish link that you posted

poorly written piece of trash

The typist could not even type properly; D

So many errors

I'm talking about the second link

I did not bother opening the first one, that will be junk too

IamAtikulate:
We shall see who is weak between Buhari and the entire world. What happened in Gambia and ivory coast would be a child's play.

you can imagine these animals even advocating for Buhari to rig with brute force to remain inoffice?

you can see a lot of Nigerians are sicj

Buhari is going back to daura

One way ticket

tesppidd:
Atiku was up against Buhari at the 2015 primaries.

Amaechi dealt with him.

It shall be repeated in 2019.

Inec chairman
The Nigerian army
The Nigerian air force
The Nigerian navy
The Nigerian police
The DSS
22 state governors
36 ministers
255 lawmakers
36 INEC commissioners
5 million Kano votes
3 million lagos votes



By hook or by crook
By fire by force

Buhari must be delivered

18 million votes- CHECK!

Atiku will never be president of Nigeria
We don't want an international thief as president.


Buhari till 2023.
APC till 2055.

just look at this foolish fool

Babyvet:
Lol, many nigerians do not have the $500,000 .If they do, they will not be able to provide legitimate means of how they got that money. Mostly big time Asians investors do that program to get papers and expand their business.

what an irony

those who have cannot prove a clean audit trail of how they made the money (most of them) while much more don't even have at all

What does that say about the state of the country

I plan on getting another investment visa soon, but I need to raise the complete capital first

$500k is a talk order for me atm so I should just respect myself and be reasonable
