mbaboy:Falana has never been one sided. He talks for/against the PDP and APC. People only react when he speaks in favour of the president. OP, all animals are equals but some animals are more equal- Animal Farm. |
Not bad at all. I pray he continues to work at this pace. Tinubu's name has been registered among the MVPs of Lagos governors. He sure deserves it because we got to this point because of continuity. He laid the foundation for a new Lagos and it is becoming a reality in his life time. Respect to the JJ in life and in death. They made sure Lagos thrived and remained relevant. |
anonimi:Bro, I have not written about Goodluck. I only countered the newspaper pages you attached. I said if I wanted pages of insults on Jonathan, Nairaland will not contain it. However, I mentioned some weak points like he was surrounded by rogues. Stella was indicted, Diezani is still under investigation, Obanikoro had a plea bargain, FFK's case is still ongoing, Olisa metuh is still ongoing. You asked if Goodluck or his wife was convicted. His wife is still answering cases in the court of law. Rotimi Amaechi had a messy fight with PEJ and left PDP after PEJ tried to hijack Rivers from him. My bad, I have Googled all through and I can't find any evidence of 140usd but it was above 100usd. He was the highest earner in all of the presidents we have had but had very little to show for it. Bro, you have not argued with points and basis. You have only made the argument look like a must-win and not a learning process for us. |
anonimi:Bro. We are all here to learn. I have not confirmed OBJ as a corrupt person because he was never convicted of corruption. All we heard were rumours until confirmed true. But I told you some of the negative things about him like he couldn't even fix d road to his home town. He did no capital project in the south. Bro, we are talking about OBJ and not Goodluck o. If I bring the diary of saved archive of names Goodluck was called on the internet, Nairaland no go contain am. I still won't judge him with those. I will judge on facts like he didn't even believe that Chibok girls were truly kidnapped. He allowed his wife to hijack Rivers and Bayelsa government while undermining the state governors. He also surrounded himself with rogues and stripped the reserves empty. Yaradua left 62b USD in the CBN reserve but Goodluck deplicted it to 31b USD despite the huge revenue from oil as it sold for as high as 140usd per barrel. |
anonimi:Good stuff. Rumoured because I have no evidence he did. Rumoured because he denied it. Do you have any evidence he sponsored the 3rd term bid truly. You made good point about Goodluck and education. Need I clear you that Goodluck was an educational person, P.hd holder, former teacher, lecturer. His own policies and focus was on education. Obasanjo's tenure was more economic driven, anti- corruption crusade. You have only made one valid point and that's about Goodluck educational reforms and introduction of universities. That should be one of the reasons you like Jonathan. But you have not countered my point as regards his Obasanjo's achievements. |
Who is awake and who is ready for some intellectual debate? Tribalists and bigots shot stay clear! My best President has to be Yaradua. He had the intention of fixing Nigeria. He did so much in his short time with us including; Amnesty for the Kidnappers and agitators in ND. He declared his asset openly. The economy was quite stable during his time and that was because oil was selling at a century-high of 147usd per barrel. He was fortunate in terms of revenue. He grew out external reserve to 62billion USD. We would have had more to write about lest for the untimely death that took the meek but devoted man away from us. He Next on my list is Obasanjo. He met a meagre 3billion USD in our reserve and he grew it to 43billion USD in 8 years. He had a very viable economic team led by NOI and Soludo. He was able to travel all around the world due to his physical fitness and health status despite being in his 60s. He, along side his team were able to pay off some of our huge external debts while others were forgiven. He, however failed in the aspect of power generation after spending a whopping 16billion USD. It was rumoured that his vice, Atiku Abubakar diverted the funds. He also failed to embark on capital projects in the south but did excellently well in the North. He tried to elongate his tenure by trying to bribe his way through the National Assembly or so it was rumoured. The last two on my list are Buhari and Jonathan respectively. I need someone to argue with me intelligently on the first two. I am feeling sleepy already. Someone should knock me with superior argument biko. Modified: I just received a slight knock from Anonimi. Let me write about Buhari. I will start by saying he is a tough person. I remembered that he jailed Fela for bringing in more than 10,000 USD in the 80s. He is a disciplinarian. He divorced his first wife because he was lobbied for help from a perceived enemy, IBB. He was a man of his words. A man of integrity. His encounter with Dora Akunyili and her display of honesty in the 90s during her health challenge led to her recommendation during the OBJ tenure. He was massively voted in 2015 not because he was the best the nation could offer but because we had experienced a super kind of thievery. We needed a corrupt free person to take over. His achievements so far are as follows; He has been able to manage the economy despite the low revenue since crude oil was selling below 30usd per barrel. His administration indicted bigwigs like Bukola Saraki, a member of his party. He has recovered some of the looted funds of the last administration. He has been able to bring to the minimal, attacks in the northeast. Some of his deficiency however are; He is old and tired. It took him six months to put his cabinet together. He is surrounded by some family and friends who are widely referred to as the Cabal and they seem to have hijacked his government. He is about losing his major side of attraction as the war against corruption remains inconclusive. He also has not been able to address the issue of Fulani herdsmen. His appointments are seen to be lopsided painting him as a bigot and an fake democrat. |
The biggest moment has to be when Wizkid was announced the winner of MOBO Awards Best International Act 2017. He received congratulatory messages from the President, Vice President, Former President, Former vice President, Senators, Media moguls and other distinguished Men and Women of the Country. Wizkid also pulled a massive heart crowd when he performed live at the Royal Albert Hall in the UK. He also set a new record this year to win the BET Best African Act. It is a Wiz year, this year.

LordAA:Not wailing. I am only talking as a trained Yoruba boy. I believe you are well trained too and you won't be meddling with some that insult your Family, atleast till he apologizes. I understand that it is all politics but there are words that do not just disappear. It comes back to hunt one if said. |
victorazyvictor:You said so. But I know there is tribe. Fayose is still coming back to SW to ask for vote in 2019. That is when you will know there is tribe. As for now, let him enjoy the momentum. If there is no tribe, we should be looking at an Igbo presidency in 2023 since they are the only one yet to do so among the major tribes. But the future remains blurry. All the best sir! |
Mufasa27:All the best bro. |
Mufasa27:Bro. You are not Yoruba. Omo ale lo man fi owo osi, juwe Ile Baba re. Translate that and I will believe you. I don't even need a validation for my post. I am entitled to my opinion, so are you. Goodluck! |
Fayose |
TuskCarlan:Lol. True sha |
Never forget the people who helped you up. Especially friends whom you shared plates of food with and bottles of drink. Do not grow shoulder pads tomorrow and say I can't mingle with those poor rats. Example is what Clooney did. 1million USD is equivalent to 360m in Naira. Imagine that you can buy a newly built mansion in Lekki, start a business and do so many good things out of that. Be generous to people. You never can tell who will bring you up later in life. I heard a story of how one of uncles became Commissioner in Oyo state courtesy of a his friend adopted and trained by our family. Be good to people. |
If we say the truth , we will die. If we don't, we will still die. Let me say the truth and be bashed. First, I want to educate us about South Africa as most people think the country is like Europe and America where people go and do big business. South Africa is home to mostly Fraudsters and drug runs. I noticed that we are always quick to brand Nigerians "businessmen" because they come home, flaunt wealth and invest. To the real issue, I think Igbos need to start condemning some attitudes/hustles. When you notice that your friends, brothers are going astray, be kind to offer words of advice. Think about the business that these men do and the harm it causes South African citizens. The SA people do not like us because we go there and hustle illegitimately and then, flaunt the proceeds on them. This is not peculiar to Igbos alone but all tribes. Yorubas don't condone this illegal acts even if it is committed by their Yoruba sons and daughters. We atleast bash them. I don't want to sound like a tribalist because I have friends, family in Yahoo biz. I have tried in my own way to let them understand that they are selling their future. Let's start condemning bad hustles. You can't plant corn and reap rice. Never! Not holy though. |
Good news. I hope the low cost they are talking about will be around around 1.5m o. Because anything higher than that, Nigerians go prefer to buy a tokunbo 2011/12 Camry at 3m than to buy Innoson for 3m o. Modified: 3m won't fly easily. They should have considered 1.5m - 2m if they really want to get to the mass market. Average Nigeria go buy a tested and trusted Camry 2003 over a new Innoson even at 1.5m. |
Source. Anything for the unity of this country is a welcome development as far as I am concerned. I belong to nobody and I belong to everybody. |
ufuosman:You are welcome. |
I think NOI would make a good VP. She has achieved a lot for her self. She was very instrumental during OBJ tenure. She was part of the reasons OBJ achieved a lot economically. Little wonder nobody has held her liable for all the flaws and funds mismanagement that thrived during the last administration. She deserves the VP slot better if PDP cedes it to SE in the next election. Modified: NOI is from Delta and she doesn't belong to the category of people in view. I will therefore go for Soludo. He proposed currency devaluation and redenomination during his time as the governor of CBN. I believe we are due for currency redenomination as Ghana has achieved a better economy since they did same. |
ufuosman:Cause. You didn't get the gist. KendrickAyomide just explained why it is a mockery. Davido throws the first jab but he ends up saying I no get beef with anyone o. Trouble maker. ![]() |
Not bad at all. I pray he continues to work at this pace. Tinubu's name has been registered among the MVPs of Lagos governors. He sure deserves it because we got to this point because of continuity. He laid the foundation for a new Lagos and it is becoming a reality in his life time. Respect to the JJ in life and in death. They made sure Lagos thrived and remained relevant. |
pocohantas:Lol |
pocohantas:I understand your point clearly. I am not being sentimental at all because I am also a father of gals and I won't pray for my gals to bring home lazy bones. What I am saying is let the potentials of your man be your driving force and not what he has at the moment. What if he is rich today and God forbids he goes broke tomorrow? Does it mean the end of the relationship? All the best. |
We are nothing but pencil in the hand of the creator. |
I have never seen or heard anyone pay that much as damages in Nigeria. I have only read about it on foreign news agencies. Even Bukola Saraki's damages that was awarded against Sahara Reporters didn't hold water. Up till now, SR never stopped reporting. |
Boi so big, stars are getting starstruck on visuals of greatness. When you visualize his greatness, you appreciate him more. Keep doing us proud boi. We are solidly behind you. President WFA. |
pocohantas:Despise not the days of little beginning. I am no preacher though. Some of us started in a room but we don't pass that level now. We dey cherish the women wey start from scratch with us. Na dem dey sharply collect car gift, travel obodo Oyinbo for Vac. Be humble. Not saying you should drag your standard in mud o but see potentials. Only you know what you deserve. |
SalamRushdie:I don't think so. Read his account below. "The Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that then serving governors requested the sharing of money from the Excess Crude Account, ECA, during ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s regime because it was not properly managed. According to the former Rivers State governor, “I heard Mrs Okonjo-Iweala say that in the past administration, governors were unwilling to save; she is 30 percent correct and 70 percent incorrect. In 2009, we had an economic crisis so President Yar’adua put $1billion in the economy so no one felt the crisis. I can’t remember what was left in that account, the excess crude account. During Goodluck Jonathan, every month when the governors went for the economic council meeting, the amount in the account kept dropping. If we asked about what happened to the money, the response we got was that the president approved for it to be spent. So we said can we please share this money because the rate at which it was going, the president would have continually approved $1billion to spend and we won’t know what we are spending for and they won’t give us an account. So we told the vice president and the minister for finance that there was a need for us to share part of this money and we began to agitate. They now agreed to share part of the money and they did" Not justifying his claims though. www.google.com.ng/amp/dailypost.ng/2016/10/06/ex-governors-insisted-jonathan-shared-oil-savings-amaechi/amp/ |
Not true. According to NOI, OBJ left 43.13 billion USD and the amount is a gross total of the CBN external reserve, excess crude account and FG savings. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/55bn-got-wrong-fg-replies-obasanjo/amp/ Respect to Yar'adua. He is one of the most respected presidents we have had so far. But then, we had so much revenue during his tenure that the CBN external reserve rose from 31billion USD to 62b USD because oil was selling around 147usd per barrel. What then happened to the reserve after the Yar Adua's demise? What got it deplicted? Your guess is as good as mine. |
