I thought the figure was quoted by Herald newspaper? Why not blame them for misleading Nigerians rather than the executive?
Anyways, the fact still remains the same - monies were looted, stashed in foreign countries (one of which is Dubai) and it had impacted negatively on us. So it is only reasonable to repatriate the funds and prevent a recurrence.

Stop this silly thoughts. Why must fellow citizens be foolish at all cost.

There is no $200 billion dollar stashed anyway. Your gullibility is belonging ridiculous. [/quote]

Fake news with a fake link.

SaharaReporters has learned from sources at the Presidency that President Muhammadu Buhari’s doctors have advised him to shelve the idea of returning soon to the daily routine of running Nigeria on account of the gravity of his illness. However, some of Mr. Buhari’s closest associates are goading him to defy the doctors’ recommendation and to take up the reins of power once more in Nigeria.

President Buhari left Nigeria on January 19 on what was supposed to be a 10-day medical leave. He has since twice postponed his return date even as several government officials and his close aides have continued to characterize him as “hale and hearty,” insisting that he was still vacationing and would soon return to Nigeria.

However, our sources, who are well briefed about Mr. Buhari’s health, disclosed that doctors managing the president have been unequivocal in warning that his condition would certainly deteriorate should he return to Nigeria without completing the first stage of his treatment.

According to one of the sources, the Nigerian president’s condition has been downgraded to “full blown illness” even by members of his kitchen cabinet who are now quietly admitting that he is “ill.” However, the ailing president’s closest associates remain averse to disclosing to the Nigerian people the nature of Mr. Buhari’s illness.

Saharareporters learnt that the president’s deteriorating health has got to a point where doctors are taking “extreme measures” to ensure that he eats. Mr. Buhari has progressively lost weight due to his illness and course of treatment, our sources disclosed.

SaharaReporters learned that the pool of aides traveling with President Buhari have extended their hotel booking in London by at least one month starting from February 6th 2017. This means that the earliest Mr. Buhari would make it back to Nigerian soil is in early March.

However, our sources revealed that some members of the president’s inner political circle continue to pressure Mr. Buhari’s doctors in the UK to allow him to return to Abuja, even if for a short time, in order to give the impression that his recovery was on course. We understand that the UK doctors have so far resisted the pressures, stating that it would be professionally irresponsible of them to clear Mr. Buhari at this stage to take up the demands of the Presidency. “I understand that the doctors [in the UK] have made it clear that Mr. President’s flight back to Nigeria could complicate things for him,” one source said.

Another group of Mr. Buhari’s supporters have asked the ailing president to authorize his doctors to address the Nigerian people directly about his health situation. However, members of the president’s inner cabinet have staunchly opposed this disclosure, arguing that, since Mr. Buhari had handed over to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, there was no need to make further revelations since the VP has been vested with all the constitutional powers to run Nigeria.

Some political figures, particularly governors of some northern states, have been spending extending times in London and making efforts daily to meet with the ill president. However, such meetings with Mr. Buhari have also become difficult to arrange since the ailing president’s doctors have cautioned against his meeting and smooching with visiting politicians, citing the significant drain on his already low energy. “The doctors have become very stern in restricting access to him [President Buhari],” said one source. “As a result, so many of the visiting politicians do not even get to see Mr. Buhari before returning to Nigeria empty handed,” he added.

As SaharaReporters earlier revealed, President Buhari’s doctors in the UK have recommended that he would need at least a period of four months away from power to receive the full regimen of treatment for his several health challenges. A source said the president was undergoing therapy related to his prostate, declining to be more specific...www.saharareporter.com

Best post in ages.
Nigeria is filled with hypocrites who are good at pointing accusing fingers at those they don't like because of flimsy reasons, especially based on religion and tribe. They dont seem to care about the fundamental problems they have as a people.
Majority are living without self dignity and empathy. They can stoop so low in pursuit of virtually anything and claim to be "smart or sharp" - never minding the consequence of their actions.
Sadly, these glaring personality issues are never even considered as a problem, talk less of discussing them with a view of suggesting solutions. Rather they are busy complaining just like their forefathers did.

PabloOmoEscobar:
RIP

STFU! Can you not just respect the dead, wish him RIP and quietly leave thread without spewing your hogwash?

[qRuote author=PabloOmoEscobar post=53141458] Must you wail on every thread?[/quote]

RIP to the young fellow. Posthumously honoring this brave young man would do a lot to encourage other CJTF members. The school can name a block of classes in his honour too.

DaBullIT:
he promised 36Million he analyzed 3600 jobs
Really easier said than done
But true , reviving industries will boost economy

The reality is that most of the abandoned industries were conceived in the 60s, 70s or early 80s and any effort to revive them doesn't make any economic sense in this era of lean manufacturing.

Thank you

By collectively doing the right things. From the leaders to the led. But it is more realistic to see positive change if we see right steps taken by those in authority than hope for every citizen (160+ million) to change overnight. You can coach a team of underdogs to win a major trophy (Greece in Euro 2004/2008) and on the other hand fail with a poorly led team of superstars (France in WC 2002).
We as country have a template to follow and have all the resources a "coach" needs to succeed but somehow failed to succeed at all levels of governance. It's not building a space station. It's about the little things like having updated records in local government secretariats, making sure budgets meant for the local health centre is judiciously utilized, overloaded buses not allowed to leave the park..... These are the little, little things that make a better accountable people.
Note: Leaders from the council to Federal level can and should all contribute to guiding the masses.

Valentinesmart: how do we stop all dis killing

I am confused here. You annihilate the terrorist yet you support them killing innocent kids to pave way for the incumbent president?

zonaking: No mater how much sahara channel condems the state of emergency, what we know and sure of is that our troops and national heros are making success! Boko haram sympathizers wait see how it (bokoharam) will be a thing of the past! We don't condone terrorists here, we anahilate them! Keep killing your brothers while oga @ the top go about his returning ticket!

Franchizy, You may have succeeded in deceiving majority of Nairalanders (especially those of southern extraction) into believing that you are representing the interest of the north and Nigerians in general but not all are so gullible nor shallow minded as you think.
It takes a few minutes of analysis (not anywhere critical though) to decode your ill conceived ploy of creating a platform to launch attacks on Muslims, northerners, etc.
Try something else..

Encouraging news.
