Trump laid an extra emphasis on the Nigerians who he referred to as ‘corrupt’ and further promised to send away because they have taken all the jobs meant for honest hard working Americans.
He said: “To Make America great again, we need to get rid of the Muslims, Mexicans and the Africans, especially the Nigerians. They take all our jobs, jobs meant for honest hard working Americans, and when we don’t give them the jobs, the Muslims blow us up.”
“We need to get the Africans out. Not the blacks, the Africans. Especially the Nigerians. They’re everywhere. I went for a rally in Alaska and met just one African in the entire state. Where was he from? Nigeria! He’s in Alaska taking our jobs. They’re in Houston taking our jobs. Why can’t they stay in their own country? Why? I’ll tell you why. Because they are corrupt.
“Their Governments are so corrupt, they rob the people blind and bring it all here to spend. And their people run away and come down here and take our jobs! We can’t have that! If I become president, we’ll send them all home. We’ll build a wall at the Atlantic Shore. Then maybe we’ll re-colonize them because obviously they did not learn a damn thing from the British!”

Obama himself does not have a better opinion of Nigerians and Nigeria. You can judge a man by his actions. If he thinks well about Nigeria, why didn't he deem it fit to visit our country at least once ?
Bush, Clinton all came to our country at least once. But Obama never gave a hoot. He also refused to sell weapons to us in the time of need. I can never be hapoy with anyone who disrespects our great nation. It's not about whether he supported Buhari or not. But it's the utter disdain he has for us.
As for Trump, I really don't care. The average white is a racist so I don't expect much from either him or Clinton. Let America also experience some change.

Clone2020:
Most white people are racists; when they see a black person they will smile from ear to ear as if they like you, yet in their gatherings they call blacks Niggers and other racial slurs. At work they act like they hate trump but still voted for him. Anyone who votes for a man who claimed President Obama isn't American is nothing but a racist. Russia has finally found a puppet in the white house to string along.

But most of these whites voted in Obama . America is made up of predominantly whites and without their votes, Obama would never have been president.
But I really don't feel for Obama or Clinton. This is the era of change. Let them also enjoy it. Afterall, the same Obama doesn't have regards for Nigeria

chimacee:
Please, is there any entry level/graduate trainee position open in the Abuja place where you are now? Cos I'm in need of a job in Abuja. Please help if you can. My email address is chimaceedj@yahoo.com if you'd like to contact me. Thank you very much

My brother, don't lose hope. There's nothing I can do but what I'll advise you is to pray and believe in God. It wasn't easy for me but I never stopped believing. Just keep improving yourself and do all that needs to be done.

Wts ignorant abt dt? Y shld we hire mercenaries 2 fight our wars when we hv an army? We hv nda dt trains both commissioned & non commissioned officers & oda military institutions dt r supposed 2 b sufficient 2 teach our men in uniform all dey need 2 do their jobs well. Dnt u know mercenaries fight 4 money? So i[b]magine if later bh offers a higher price 2 fight against Nigeria[/b], wldnt dey go & reveal our secrets & weaknesses 2 bh?

.

Hahahahaaa. I'm laughing at the bolded. You guys just have a funny way of assuming things.
I know Nigeria has a good army but what matters most is result. Don't you know the death of a good soldier is a blow on the morale of the army
Nigerian army is having a difficult time dealing with bokoharam. Except you want to lie that bokoharam is technically defeated

tafrica:
Are we truly winning the war?

only God knows how demoralized these soldiers are right now. Losing a brave leader, whom they seemed to love, and also recall they recently lost 83 men to BH. Media houses aren't reporting true situations in NE.

Why hasn't this present govt procured any weapon? what have done with our defence budget?
Why did we withdraw the mercenaries.

Seems initial upper hands were GEJ's efforts; weapons he bought and mercenaries he put in place.
This govt needs to stop politics and fight BHTs holistically.

You're asking the right questions.
Since 1 year plus in office, this administration has not bought a single bullet. We keep hearing Gej bought fake weapons but which ones has Buhari bought ? None.
Some ignorant people say that it's a shame for Nigeria to hire mercenaries. That's so ignorant

seuncyrus:
brov you couldn't have said it any better . I see countless people like him on NL everyday blaming Buhari for their misfortune when they are actually the architect of their problems. instead of sitting down in one place blaming buhari , think about your life and take action . naira is 470 - why can't you freelance and earn dollars but no ...its easier to blame buhari ..silly people

The same way people were blaming Gej. In fact, if you blamed Gej even though you could not get your wife pregnant, people will blame him with you. But 2day, if you blame Buhari what you'll get is insults. What is good for the goose he's also good for the gander.
Before anyone thinks I hate Buhari, I happen to get my greatest break during this period of recession. I just had to pray hard and think outside the box.

peterpeteru:
Uhmmm. Lots my brother.
Last month, I got interviewed for a teaching position, a member of the panel whom I presumed to have been consulted was just asking me software and website development related questions. Technical ones o. It got to a stage I wanted to ask how those questions relate with the position I applied for.

At another interview, before the interview commenced, we were made to wait outside in the scorching sun. Then it began to rain, thought they would ask us in, for where? We had to stand in the corridor of a building nearby. In that condition, I swore I was not gonna work there even if they offered me the job.
When the interview started, none of the panelists apologised. The so called Hr was just cutting into mine and the others conversation.

I must add this, just last week, I had another interview, oh! it was wonderful. The panellists were well mannered and respectful. All applicants were even served snacks before being served lunch.

At the end of the day, did u get the job ?

I've had my own experience with these HR people especially in schools.
I'll tell you the few I can remember,, not really in chronological order.

1. Was called for an interview in a school some years ago. After being made to wait for more than 3 hours, it finally got to my turn. Well, the lady was polite actually and asked some sensible questions. At the end of the day, I got the job. Left there though. I was later told that we were made to wait long in order to test out patience.

2. Got another school interview. As usual I had to wait for long. When it was time, I wrote the written test. Some tough maths questions. No scientific calculator allowed and couldn't use my phone calc. We had to solve not less than 60 obj questions and about 10 theory questions where one will have a, b, c and the a will have i, ii, iii...
After the test it was time for teaching practice. Some two clowns that were supposed HOD for maths dept asked me to solve problems in polynomial. I did not used the terminology they were used to and the kept asking a particular question. When I tried to solve a question they asked, they said "time up."
It was so stupid. Upon all the topics in maths/f. Maths, they only chose to access my knowledge on what they knew.

3. The last interview I received was conducted by a recruitment firm. It was held in Abuja. Those guys were professionals. Before the test commenced, we were asked to take a light refreshment. After the oral test, we had a buffet . And at the end of the day, I got the job. And that's where I am at the moment.

But Op is not funny. When I took 100mg, I felt the impact for 3 days. Afterwards, I felt weak. That drug is very powerful. If possible, start with only 50mg.

blesseddimson60:
Ambode should just reconsider his decision concerning banning of LAGBUS oo. Today, Oshodi-Ajah na 600 naira. We had to push ourselves again on top DT kind amount.

. Thank God say I no dey Lagos now Is this the type of change we want ? Anyway, zombies will keep on wailing.

Omotayor123:
I honestly don't understand Why Ambode is trying to Ban Lagbus.
@least, it's Helping in Transporting people to their destinations.

I was at ikorodu few days ago. I travel on Lagbus and I enjoyed the journey.
.

Abeg Ambode should stop this unnecessary hardship.

Some of these guys are just insensitive . Meanwhile if you drive, you stand a chance of getting a terrible fine....

All these questions sef

kropotkin2:
The SE is represented on the board with members from Imo and Abia states

Thats not true. Abia rep was not approved. Same as Imo. Read the last patagraph again. Btw, those places in the SE are also oil producing .

Will soon, about to, before the end of this year, before the end of this tenure, we will,...... . This people can use all forms of future tenses... . Which one will they use next ?

kropotkin2:
The act establishing the NDDC requires a member from each geopolitical zone be seated on the board.

Then why don't the SE have theirs ?

PapaBrowne:
I don't understand this country.

Why are there representatives from the North East, North Central & North West and none from say the South West? Really don't understand why there's always inequity in the current Feds actions

Isn't it funny ?

In fact, this should only be a Niger Delta affair.

I read some of the posts, and I conclude that many people here are not logical at all

dhardline:
It's good that there are fines for offenses but the only problem I have with this is why would the

fine for an offence in a state be higher than the minimum wage?

So someone who's probably driving his late dad's car while doing a minimum wage job can't

drive in Lagos and buy a bag of rice in the same month .

They want people to commit suicide. To me, this is heartless. Because of this I will join military.

See jujitsu skills...

AnonyNymous:
OP, please learn about the difference between the gross domestic product and federal government revenue.

GDP just measures the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. It includes both the public and private sector. If MTN makes profit, its part of our GDP. If Tasty Fried Chicken makes profit, its part of our GDP as well. All services rendered/goods produced in a country with a population as large as Nigeria's should easily dwarf the amount of crude oil made in comparison. That has nothing to do with the income the government makes.

Government Revenues refer to all receipts the government gets, including taxes, oil income, custom duties, revenue from state-owned enterprises, capital revenues and foreign aid.

Nigeria is Africa's largest oil exporter, and the world's 10th largest oil producer, accounting for more than 2.2 million barrels a day in 2011. Oil revenues totaled $50.3 billion in 2011 and generated 70 percent of government revenues.

http://www.resourcegovernance.org/our-work/country/nigeria

. . .and petroleum exports revenue represents over 90 per cent of total exports revenue.

OPEC|Nigeria http://www.opec.org/opec_web/en/about_us/167.htm

Agreed!!
If GDP and government revenue are different, does that mean there's no correlation. This government has blamed the fall in oil price for the low GDP and by extension, the recession.

davidif:
Wrong! This post shows the lack of economics knowledge these days.

First of all, GEJ never produced oil a day in his life, that was the oil and gas companies.

Number 2, he never set oil prices neither that was the job of the market.

Thirdly, the oil and gas sector operates under the law of supply and demand which means that when demand for a product is high, th prices go up. in other words, things become more expensive when demand outpaces supply. Now how does this apply to the Naija oil industry? Well you see, when supply is high, prices plummet and that is what happened. When demand was high, oil prices went through the roof then when the Americans developed new ways of producing oil from there own soil there own demand for foreign oil dropped. In retaliation, the saudi's decided to flood the market with more oil so as to further lower prices prices thereby making oil unprofitable so as to put American oil explorers out of business by making it more difficult for them to make a profit. This and other factors are what lead to the price oil crashing down.

Yes, there are other factors involved like the embargo on Iranian oil being lifted allowing them also to sell their own oil has caused a saturation of oil in the market.

So giving GEJ credit for the oil market crashing is wrong on your part.

Lastly, you can't develop a long term by depending on a very volatile commodity like oil. It's foolishness. What Jonathan should have done when oil prices where high was to find a way to clamp down on corruption to boost the confidence of investors and build a sustainable and robust economy that would be able to withstand a crash in oil prices and he failed to do that. I am not saying Buhari is Franklin Roosevelt o, i am just calling a spade a spade.

You can imagine a president saying he will stabilise the oil price when he gets into power. And guess what ! Some zombies were supporting the statement.
You know, I'm tired of the blame game. This administration has spent too much time blaming everything and everybody but never themselves.

obembet:
Which way Nigeria

The Minister of Agric studied French.

The Minister of Education studied Accounting.

The Minister of Solid Minerals studied International Relations.

The Minister of power studied law.

The Minister of communications studied law too.

The Minister of transport studied English.

The Minister of labour studied surgery.

Then President himself has no certificate at all.
Now, if someone still don't understand why things aren't working, then that person need urgent deliverance. ##

You forgot to mention the minister of budget and planning who read law.
Let them keep blaming Gej and calling him names.

This could be as a result of drug abuse or exposure to some sort of chemicals. God help them.

The president of South Africa has caused a world-wide embarrassment for the country after he was caught on tape dozing heavily during a parliament session.

While the Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan was speaking on the country’s economy under pressure and questions over education funding, an hour 14 minutes into the speech, Zuma who was initially attentive, gradually faded into the clouds of slumber.

The newly installed Benin monarch, Oba Ewuare II, was all smiles as he was paid homage to by a white woman at his palace in Edo state. The woman prostrated before the happy Oba -to the delight of the crowd present. See pictures below;

Oba of Benin is one of the most respected and influential traditional rulers.

Omonigeriarere:
Ok. Apart from the fact that no constitution mention WAEC Certificate, please be assured that anybody can contest for political post in Nigeria even without having School Certificate.

The meaning of "School Cert and its equivalent" in Section 318 is as follows and I want you to tell me how PMB didn't qualify even without having WAEC Certificate.

In Section 318(1) of the said constitution, it becomes crystal clear, upon a careful reading of the said Interpretation Section, that even persons whose educational qualifications are below the Secondary School Leaving Certificate/level and its equivalent are still qualified to contest election, if they possess the Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent along with the other requirements listed under the said definition Section (Section 318(1)).

For the avoidance of doubt, Section 318(1) provides:

“School Certificate or its equivalent” means -

(a) A Secondary School Certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s Certificate, the City and Guilds Certificate; or

(b) Education up to Secondary School Certificate level; or

(c) Primary Six School Leaving Certificate or its equivalent and-

(i) service in the public or private sector in the Federation in any capacity acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for a minimum of ten years, and

(ii) attendance at courses and training in such institutions as may be acceptable to the Independent National Electoral Commission for periods totaling up to a minimum of one year, and

(iii) The ability to read, write, understand and communicate in the English language to the satisfaction of the Independent National Electoral Commission; and

(d) Any other qualification acceptable by the Independent National Electoral Commission;”



Any contrary opinion?

No objection to all you have said. But which one does Pmb have ? Afterall, the Army doesn't have the record of his WAEC/equivalent qualification.

Clinton9000:
I went for a job interview and they demanded that I show my certificate, I tell them I'm coming, the next day the company gets a call from 15 of my lawyers. The company asks what's all these nonsense for, My lawyers responded...since you want to see my client's certificate, no problem, we will see in court.

I know this sounds very stupid but that's essentially what Buhari is doing. After watching this video, you realize that Nigerians are actually fools for voting a president without a certificate and what's even more asinine is he went and hired 15 SANs, who in the world hires lawyers because you asked for their certificate

Some people are actually zombies. What this man said is actually clear and logical. But the problem is hypocrisy. I don't blame Pmb. I blame the zombies who always choose not to see any wrong in what he does. SMh.

It Shall Never Be Well With Jonathan!

Why Jonathan Decided To Kill Him, While Patience Jonathan Walks Free, Is What Buhari Should Look Into..

How is it Gej's fault ? Is he the only one in Pdp ? Was Obj not also in Pdp before Alams died ? Did his trouble not begin with Obj ? Oga, stop being hateful.
