very much the reason why the hypocrite should exclude himself and step aside for Young Nigerians to take over from him since he was and still part of the same old corrupt elites and he himself was part of the 16 years PDP administration that wrecked Nigeria, that stole and shared our money, that kept us in darkness by stealing our $20 billion power funds.


If his really honest and cares about Nigeria, should be speaking up against the evil perpetrated by him and his party against Nigerians.


Of what relevance is the mentally warped messenger who advocated for Nigerian youths to be allowed to rule Nigeria while refusing to step aside for youths in his own state to take over from him, but instead turned around and blame the Nigerian youths for wrecking Nigeria because they support foreign soccer teams.

The man is a nuisance and a first class lying hypocrite..

Sharap there.

When did Bruce Join politics/PDP?

OP

I'm puzzled by your travel time......... From 9.25am to 12am the next day?. That's some 15hours on the road.

That must have taken the shine off the pleasure of travelling by road for a trip of just 40mins by air. ...

I returned from Ghana to Nigeria once and we arrived Mile2 by 8pm having left Ghana 7am which l still found stressful considering that the distance is less than 350km. Should ordinarily take less than five hours if not for those overzealous immigration pests.

A lot needs to be done by ECOWAS leaders to boost regional cohesion and trade....

I agree 100 %

The journey is just annoying

This is part of the story but not the full story. At the heart of the problem is dollar inflow into Nigeria. Oil exports are a major source of dollar inflow and so a fall in oil prices reduces dollar inflow. However, dollar inflow may also come from foreign investors attracted by an improved business climate or even corrupt loot being repatriated.

The pace of Naira's collapse is not simply an oil story but it is a reflection of souring investor confidence in Nigeria both in terms of the policy direction, or more aptly the lack of policies,and a rapidly deteriorating business environment. I have also noticed from speaking to Nigerians that many are looking for a way to get money out of the country to hedge their Naira savings in a foreign currency. So not only are fewer dollars coming in but we are experiencing capital flight.

For years I used to try to drum it into people's heads that Nigeria's economic underdevelopment is not simply a corruption issue. Our poor choice of policies is a more significant factor than corruption. If you have a regime that reduces corruption by $2bn but causes capital flight of $10bn you have not gained anything. The reason why Nigerians like to reduce our problems to the single issue of corruption is that we are a people with a religious mindset and an affinity for simplified moral narratives. Economics is a very complex subject and Nigerians struggle with complexity. Better to construct simplistic narratives based on a foundation of ethnic/religious loyalties and hatreds - Hausa/Fulani Muslim oligarchy v IPOB/Ibo conspiracy - than to tackle the headache inducing complexities of the modern world.

You are wise

Foolishness is when Fayose complains about Buhari but was supporting Jonathan who:

1. Borrowed to pay salaries when oil was still over $65/barrel

2. Borrowed when Nigeria was selling more than 2 millions barrel of crude daily

3. Could not manage surplus but wasted our resources

4. squandered all our reserves that Obasanjo saved and left power when reserve was $28b from $45b

5. could not save anything in the reserve when oil was sold for $120/barrel

Fayose should blame himself and his PDP members not Buhari :

Who has not borrowed to pay salaries

Who has been fighting insurgency with focus and strategies (and he is winning)

Whose first fiscal year has not started (budget is yet to be passed into law)

who has restored our confidence in international community


Fayose should just tell us what he has achieved for almost 2 years in power. The last time I checked, Fayose was in Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Abuja, Rivers, etc within 7 days wearing Ojuju Calabar's constume to Abakaliki just 2 days ago. He should stay in Ekiti and build the economy of Ekiti too.

You think you made sense with that rubbish you wrote up there? okay, look

The expenditure ballooned under Jonathan because in part, the minimum wage was increased to 18000 (increase in salary across board,) Increase in NYSC allowance from 7500 to 19800, and many other things (I'm too tired to type long story)

All the facts have to be stated

Amelian:
Skipping brother's wedding should not cause such great rift and breakup.. if Lola were wise, she would have calmed Peter and told him that with time his family will love and accept her but no she didn't say such.. I bet she would have been grumbling for months about it. When a sibling takes a wrong step in his other sibling's life.. especially when it comes to marriage, the woman should try and make peace in between.. not holding onto grudges.. two wrongs can never make right.
Now see what because I no attend wedding cause now?
So much money will be lost as from henceforth.. if their split is finalized.
....... their empire spilted.. endorsement deal will reduce as the years go by..
More competitions between brothers, to show who go succeed pass the other.
Mehn, who needs that such headaches between blood brothers...if they are just friends it's different but blood? Cmon? And
All because of a woman who feels she has been slighted by an in law..
I.wonder how some women think sha...
I honestly wonder...
Sighs

How are you sure it is because if woman?

Tolatutu:
Jude is an employee of Psquare and should act like one , if Beyonce can fire her Dad why not. Maybe their relationship will be better sef when they are not working together. Working with family is hard and can ruin relationships

I swear.

I'm with Peter on this one.

I know how he feels because I've been there.

Family business without Legal backing and red eye always bring problems

doveda:
This is clearly a case of an overbearing elder brother who thinks he has a right to make decisions for his brothers because of his position. What on earth will make a brother miss his own brother's wedding?.

I think Jude is overbearing. Peter is immature and very opinionated and Paul is just paul.

I agree

dollarlander:
You are very sick I'm your brain. How do you manage to post on social media.
When you talk about Buhari you should apply caution.

Rubbish.
Buhari is incompetent, dull and not proactive.
In short, he is a dunce

lexitonii:
all of you shouting and writing paul is matured, you guys shld pray you dont find urselfs in peter's shoe

Which shoes?
Enlighten me pls

What does that have to do with this thread?

You "allegedly" bleeped her and so?

Thanks guys for your answers.
I have chosen Medview.
I just hope they won't disappointed the way Arik air did.

Elparaiso:
We need to ration this front page for everyone.
1. Celebrity ish should be 10%
2. Politics (Im not counting Bruce Murray, he is part of celebrity) should be 30%
3. Educational articles should be 30%
4. In love with my ex| My housegirl is seducing me| she wants me to dump my aunt| and other LIES should be 5%
5. Jokes should be 15%
6. Literature should get 10%

I concur

asuustrike2009:
Diversification of the economy and encouragement of local production is the solution. Devaluation is an import economy causes inflation and this only affect the poor not rich. Diversification to multi economy would have make our economy stable even when the price of crude oil falls. But don't worry all hope isn't lost yet as we will learn from our mistakes as time goes. Though we fall 7 times ,we will rise up again and become stronger. Great nations of the world today passed through similar scenario that now people troop in and out

Oga. I'm an economist myself, so I know all these.

BUT!

Nigeria must pay for its sins. That's the only way to learn.

This two tiered currency regime is not sustainable at all.

Devaluation is the only solution.

sergiozlatan:
Bros did u say she's a Police Officer? Not just recruit but an ASP?? Brother man u better calm down & observe.
Have u bothered to find out why the father of those kids left?
Can u withstand her when she starts her wahala? (Remember she's older than u & also an Officer)
You don't even have any tangible source of income at the moment yet you want to go into marriage.
If eventually u marry her, can u take care of her kids & see them as yours?
What will now happen when she bares children for you?

So many questions begging for answers. Don't rush into it Mr MAN. Think ahead, plan ahead & if the coast is clear then dive in straight ahead.

Goodluck!!

@OP.
This is good advice too

Nigerians with their mindsets filled with cobwebs.

Their reasoning baffles me. *frowns*
Well back to the matter. Whatever choice you make, you have to live with the consequences of such choice.
That said, there are two issues here

1) She is older than you, and
2) She has two kids.

Now, my opinion would have been go for it if the issue on ground was just (1) but with (1) and (2), !that complicates things
So what I'll advice is to think critically about it, pray about it and weigh all the pros and cons you think this union can pose.

If you think you can live with the consequences of it, then go for it. This is not a decision that should be taken with emotions though.
Consider these factors dispassionately.

The simple truth is that the average nigerian is taught to cut corners and that reflects in everything we do whether it's in education, business, health care, government etc.

Aside cutting corners, we are also taught how to be selfish rather than selfless and that that is why every politician, civil servants, private employer or employee works not for the glory of the country but for the glory of his pocket alone.

I agree with the pilot, and with drbaby. Our problems as a nation stem from ideology ingrained in our minds as kids. If you raise a child with the notion that ibo people are bad or women from that tribe are prostitutes then all you you have succeeded in doing is transferring your small mindedness to your child and where 1,000,000 parents are teaching their kids such crap, what good can come from that generation?

I agree 100 %

??

I am billed to go to Accra soon, and I'm torn between these two options, as Arik air has fallen my hand.

Please house, which one do you think is better?

Aero or Medview.

Thanks

Wyttcat:
Which part is not possible?
We can get it done. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

That's discriminatory.

By law we are all Nigerians, and the constitution guarantees right of residence anywhere in the country.

Any signs of discrimination will be challenged
That's the truth.

Wyttcat:
This is my town. Lagos, my heritage.
How i wish it can be decongested.
Ambode can clean Lagos by making non-Swners to pay more in property taxes and schools.

But you know that is not possible right?

Twaci:
I go with your opinion. But I think it would indeed hurt the guy in question....even if he denies it.

What you should know is that guys don't think like girls
#Confidential

The only way to savethe naira is to be productive cut your coat according to your size

This is very useful.

However, who has ideas on where I could get flight tickets to Accra and back at an affordable price

The responses to this thread disgusts me.
Igbo better than Yoruba, Yoruba better than Igbo nonesense.
Are we the only two tribes in Nigeria?

praxs:
Dere are thieves(esp US, jamaica, mexico etc), peadophiles (afghanistan, syria, yemen, pakistan etc) rapists ( india, pakistan etc) drug peddlers ( colombia,mexico,US etc)... Nuisance are everwhere bro

That is precisely my point.

Africans aren't any special. We are just like everyone else

praxs:
As someone righted stated, chinese are not white folks.. To the op, i think it has nothingto do with dem treating you as rag. When you`ve to some partof the world u will understand better.... To be sincere, is not everyone that has morals or good human relationship... I presently reside in a country consisting of mixed rrace and your issue is a very common thing here... A person will just walk up to you straight and ask or start a discussion...i understood that we africans have better morals than most of dis races... So chill, d do that so demselves( diff races)

Point of correction.

Africans don't have better morals. We are as useless as the others worldwide. Humanity is messed up.

If not, why do we have plenty thieves, paedophiles, rapists, drug peddlers, thieves and other nuisance in this continent.

It's the sad truth

Seventeen:
In my own case, my parents werent d beating type. But e get one special chair for my papa room dat time.... Cheiii d worst punishment in my house den was to go and sit there. U go just sit there like statue, ur only entertainment na to watch d ceiling fan rotate. Ur prayer go be make God just touch eem mind to say those magic words.. "u can go". The worst thing dat can happen to u was for him to forget and NTA 9 oclock news start... Omooo, na dia u go sleep because no hope till 10... And depending on wen d punishment began, e fit be say u never chop night food. Kaiii dat punishment dint use to be funny oo. At times u fit sit on dat chair from 5 in d evening till 10. Dat time we de wish say na beat dem de beat us oo, because highest 10 mins u don cry finish forget matter.

lol

Nice

Do you see a pattern? in normal countries, the punishment must fit the crime. Parents in Africa beat for every single reason. This is one of the reasons people think it's ok to burn a suspected thief for stealing maggi. Don't get me wrong, I gave my kids a good asss wooping when they were younger. Not all the time, but just enough. I stopped when they hit ten years old. Their brains are already formed; it's time to start explaining things to them.

I agree with you 100 %
