Atiku has potentials to be president..I think he will do well..He is well grounded on the factors that influence our economy either way..OBJ only tried to paint him black for selfish reasons.Atiku may not be a saint but he is more oriented &matured in dealing with political,socioeconomic& ethnoreligous issues that deter the country's advacement at least far more than buhari..Atiku is experienced,more youthful and in line with the new age economic principles..

I agree with the points you made. Even the corruption people thought Buhari will fight is a mirage.

thesicilian:
Inspiring. He must have had his share of ridicule over not being educated.
And I just laugh when I see some people in their thirties saying they are too old to go back to school.

It's not too late for Bubu...

Jezzz.....

This kind story sef. . Why give her ATM card ?

KingOfAmebo:
President Muhammadu Buhari says his party didn't know what they were getting into before making so much promises to Nigerians, and as such made life difficult for themselves with the high expectations from Nigerians because of the long list of promises made. He said his party identified only three major items...Security, Economy and Corruption.

Speaking on Monday when he hosted state house correspondents at the presidential villa in Abuja, Buhari said he and his cabinet members have been doing their best to deliver the change which the All Progressives Congress (APC) promised Nigerians during the electioneering campaign.

The president described his ministers as hardworking, saying they toil day and night to ensure that his administration succeeds.

“One of the men I pity is Lai Mohammed. Everyday he is on TV explaining our performance or lack of it,” he said.

“The ministers sit down day and night to work. Some of them have literarily lost weight because they were sleeping less and eating less (while working on the budget). They were working on every kobo to be spent.

“We recently just found out that we are poor because we don’t have anything to fall back to. This is the condition we found ourselves and this change mantra had to go through hell up till yesterday.

“And for you to talk to whoever came to visit us throughout that year, I wonder how each of your diaries would be, because people were expecting this change mantra in their own way.

“How do you define change? Luckily our party identified three major items, security, economy and corruption.”

The president spoke on why he reduced the number of ministries from 42 to 24. He also revealed that some of the permanent secretaries were disengaged because of lack of commitment.

Buhari added that there is a possibility of the economy recovering in the last quarter of the year.

“When we came there were 42 ministries we cut it to 24. We had to do it on our own because we found out that government could not continue with 42 ministers and the paraphernalia of office so we cut it down to 24,” he said.

“I underrated the influence of the PDP for 16 years watching from outside. The experience of the staff, their commitment and zeal is different from what it is now compared to when I was in government. Sixteen years of development in the life of a developing nation is a long time.

“Most of the permanent secretaries were sent out because it was time for some of them to go and for others for one thing or the other. Because were not part of those 16 years this is where we found ourselves and this is no joke.

“We had to cut down half the number of permanent secretaries and then do some cross postings. The permanent secretaries that were there for the past five, seven, 15 years the only thing that they know is how things were done in the previous years. Whatever we did in the campaign, in fact we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us.

“Things were even more difficult during the budget which you all know about. For somebody like me, for the first time I heard what is called padding.

“I think we will recover by the fourth quarter of the year, what padding means especially for ministers who had implement what padding contains. There were very serious developments which I never knew about.”

How can a president say this ? Not only does he have ear infection, he also has mouth infection. He has shot himself on the foot by saying what he said.

HungerBAD:
Nigerians are a difficult people to please.

So I can understand where the President is coming from,it is even difficult to explain to the Spirits on Nairaland ,that Buhari means good.

Lai Mohammed,just keep doing your good job.

You're just expressing Stockholm syndrome . Lai Mohammed has spent half of his speech lambasting the past administration and telling lies.

Everyone means good. Gej meant good, Obj meant good, Abacha also meant good. It depends on what you mean by good.

Foolish snakes

Him don treat him ear infection ? E be like say he no dey hear word.

When Apc were opposition, they did worse. They insulted the ex first lady and Gej as well. Their attacks were more personal. Pdp is still learning in terms of personal attacks.
The only way Buhari can silence Pdp is to perform excellently, without giving room for criticism. Actions speak louder than words.

HurtgenForest:
People should try and understand when they read. Fayose never banned cattle rearing in Ekiti state, what he banned is moving about with hoardes of cattle. He made it clear that whoever wants to rear cattle in the state should own a ranch, simple.

There's a thin line btwn cattle rearing and herding. It's hard to separate one from the other....

seylex:
this happen to be my first female boss, and just 2 months of working together she is so typical of those ive read about. these are a few of their realities.
disclaimer - this is not representative of all women just the type of my boss.

a little background.
I was employed as a marketing and business development manager for a new product. she was not in the country during the recruitment exercise-out of the country) so she didn't know me from adam. Ive heard a lot of stories of how she was very insensitive, bossy and a control freak an admin officer with priviledge information said i was employed because of my calmness during the interview to cancel out her aggressive character. well i kept an open mind, however upon her arrival our first meeting betrayed her so much as she felt she was not in control of my person. just a month to the job i already had proposals on ground that will restructure the company and re-position it for the market. well since then its been a tug of war between us both.

All my requests and moves were rebuffed, all support was literally non existent. well marketing happens to be a cost centre in itself, sales brings in the money. many dont know the difference though including my boss. i managed the two role independently despite all the challenges, but we are yet to make sales.

she pretends as if she doesnt know why we are not making sales. and shes using that as a pedestal to victimize me. she copies the HR on unnecessary issues and quite frankly its frustrating.

well after all these i had to understand her and why we may never gel -

1. women bosses are arrogant
2. they always want to be in control
3. they are mostly lazy themselves
4. they are mostly insecure

at least my boss is all the above and more.

well, she wants me to lick her a**, but Im never doing all of that. I know over time we may blend but for now its so annoying. i feel like leaving already. Guys with experience should please give honest advise to a distressed worker.

Adaure4ever:
85% of Guys do it.
Psychologically, Men are egoistic being, so bragging about sex exploits boost their ego.

So you know why guys do it and you are still asking

marvelck:
Since women naturally age faster than men, its not advisable for a guy to marry a girl his age or within his age range. Guys need to marry girls they are far older than with at least 10 years, so that when she's aging everything will still be balanced. You can still be enjoying her breast, and also admiring her full waist line for a long time to come. Compare to when you marry a girl that's only 3 or 5 years younger than you. Before you know it, she'll start looking older than you apart from adding weight anyhow after giving kids. So, let there a space of like 10 years between you and the girl you want to marry, just like fathers used to do it in the past.

That neans a man should not marry young nah ! If I should marry at the age of 29, it means my wife should be 19

Samunique:
U mean SW sycophants ?

They are under Buhari's spell ( though not all ) I pray they get their deliverance soon from APC/Buhari's hypnotism.

Some of them are wise and open minded but a lot of them are still blind folded..

Poweredbreww:
Abuse him for what? Only a b.astard will abuse him for this move, I am not his fan cos of his ways and too much talk but this is a very right move. Kudos to him

Good. I have some SW friends and majority, not all support Apc. There was a time I was blasting the Northern elders for proposing grazing reserves in the South. Do you know one of my friends actually rose to their defence

DaZion:
Everyone of us has did funniest things before as a kid back then.
Things like keeping your parents change, stealing meat in the pot etc.
Share with us and let remember our olden days.


Let me first share mine.
The day I changed my results.I had fail in mathematics and I changed it to Excellent, without me knowing there's a total score why I was given fail.
My father checked the result and saw I change errors.The following term, he visited my school principal, and it was later discovered It was I that changed the result.
I was beaten with wire that day, chai! Back in days sha.

Please, share urs and let the fun continue.

Done quite a few crazy and dangerous things.

There was a Christmas season when people were throwing knock outs. My brothers and friends lit one knockout and threw on the ground. I just walked up and picked it up. My brothers were shouting my name to leave it. I just boned them and put it in my lips like cigar. Next thing I heard was GBOSA. I go report to mama straight away.

Samunique:
Thank u Gov Fayose, a true Son of Yoruba land for not going to the affected area and cowardly declare 3days of fasting and prayer, but come out with a true reality check for these criminals called Fulani herdsmen.

I hope other southern Governors will follow suit, not sycophants though!!!

I'm proud of Fayose. Courage has nothing to do with ethnicity. I waiting for the SW youth to abuse him.

Goke7:
they are just using the 5% and 95% to blackmail PMB but the truth is the ss and se never for one day like PMB and PMB is aware of this too, hence he doesn't give a damn just like their hero GEJ.

PMB have this covered, FG will continue to generate revenue through the fuel hike as we continue to import petrol and other petroleum products, taxes and tariffs will be raised, stamp duty already generating revenue so the bombing can as well continue, when they are tired, they will think of something else.

c

So because a few people are sabotaging the economy means that everyone should suffer for it. That's thoughtless of him if the does so.
Buhari should understand that he's the president of the whole country. Most Igbos voted Gej but he should not forget that some Igbos also for him. It is daft for him to persecute everyone.

SLIDEwaxie:
sensless as usual. How does 5% and 97% goes hand in hand? Na sets we dey do abi Na percentage?

That's what your president said. According to him 97+5=100

Hello All. Here is my experience at Church in Germany. So far I have attended 3 different churches in different cities here and I love it. This are churches by whites. Though there are one or two Naija churches around but personally I love this ones. I saw a lot of differences

No loud speakers outside: The norm has been during service, churches put on loud speakers outside so the neighborhood of the church hears every thing going on inside the church. To me I feel its noise pollution and unfair to neighbours because some times you have in one street alone in Naija over 5 churches blaring away. Here its so quiet outside the church building that if you don't get into the church you don't even notice there are people inside the church holding service.

Noone comes in gaily dressed: This people are so simple that they don't dress any different to church. If you don't have a nice Sunday wear no one cares. Picture attached was service today. Its summer now and people were wearing shorts to church! Also sleevless floral light dresses. There were no suits, no nice hats, no bogus jewelry, no nice shoes, no Italian bags, no one with nice hairdo. Its was just plain clothes, sneakers and sandals to church. You can't even differentiate between the rich and the poor. I remember in Naija when I used to take materials to my tailor to sew the latest dress so i can wear for church service. I remember all the outdoing and show off by members.

The pastor has no hairs around him: The simplicity of the whites is amazing. Even into the work of the ministry they carry it along. The pastor comes into church carrying his bag by himself. Goes round each member to greet you with a smile and a handshake and asks how you're doing. He is just a humble caring friend you can chat with and he prays for you. He reminds you there is a table he has set for coffee, tea or water. There is just nothing special about him. He just carries out the service normally. He has no special name like G.O or daddy etc. I just cant explain the simplicity of the 3 white pastors I met. At the end of the service they stand at the door for a goodbye handshake.

True talk. Most of our pastors are egocentric. Imagine a 70 year old man bowing down for a 50 something year old pastor and calling him papa. Somethings are not just right

femicyrus:
I know a man in rccg they call pastor who is married with 3 kids.
he is very good in motivating people to pray at the top of their voice
he goes to deliverance ministration with his girlfriend that pose as a gospel singer while his wife stays at home.
the elders always celebrate him although they do not know of his secret life meanwhile they care not to know so far he is 'fire brand'

. Who be de pastor ?

johnwizey:
APC was only playing opposition then but that does not mean they did nt give credits when due and besides the way and manner GEJ handled the whole things gives credence to APC wailing but the one PDP are playing nw is bitterness. That aint opposition at all, they have never seen anything good in this administration. Politics no ft sweet if there is no opposition nw


NB: i no too sabi politics o jee

cc; omenka, dropshot, aunty modath

I never remember when the then opposition praised the army or encouraged. Were they not the ones that accused the Army Chief of mass murder ? Did Buhari nit say war against bokoharam is war against the North ?

ononujuchika:
ntooor!

When he was doing same to jonathan you hailed him,but today you are crying cos your dullard is at the receivin end.

People don't like the truth.

colossus2:
Humans are not leopards.
Do people who meet their special woman ever have issues at any point in time?
Are you saying they have never quarreled?

If a husband habitually beats up his wife, it will be difficult for him to change. It's a different thing if he had beaten her once or 2ce out of anger. Cos marriage is not easy.
