What is cabal? You didn't read their grouse. The govt played into their trap. Lesson: When taking down your adversary, ensure you exploit the law to do so. If you flout lawful processes because you are doing something right, failure awaits you at the end point. Buhari must exploit the law to effect changes, not his will. This same careless behavior was what gave him a bad name during his military stint.

Do you ever think this government can achieve meaningful result if they choose to repeal the NNPC Act? I think the government effort will be frustrated by the house of representative and senate.

I think the approach of the minister and GMD of NNPC is in order, given the expected result.

She was your hit, back to back.

I dislike it with passion!

Thread:
Shut up...

Sorry, I got you there right. Olodo!

It is simply amazing that we chose to posit that "they (examiner) gave me ........score" whenever we fail instead of indicating: "I scored ........".

I can relate to that school of thought because I was once like that too. However, I learnt to take responsibility for my actions and inactions too over time. You guys can adopt the lesson too.

There was a salient point mentioned here: the accident occurred due to the bad tyre. The rear tyre bursted probably on top speed.

This is another avoidable accident, it is another evidence that most tyres in Nigeria are substandard; both new and tokunbo tyres.

That was Lexus SUV for God's sake, the stability on the road is awesome and I can't comprehend tyre explosion on top speed.

Standard Organization of Nigeria; please check

Hahahahahahahaha, God forbid.

Well even if they do,the self controlled man would stand his ground

How many men can resist the temptations of a woman? Even the fall of Adam, though orchestrated by the devil, was initiated by the woman (Eve).
You must recognize that women have always been an effective tool against or for the will of God in the life of a man.
It is so easy for a man to loose control and discipline around a perverted woman.

The rate at which guyz tend to succumb to sexual urges these days is really alarming. Where has self control gone to please?

That is not enough reason for ladies to tempt the men with indecent dresses while expecting him to control his sexual urges.

May I ask all the ladies on this thread a questoon: why do prostitites dress skimpy when at work? Why do they parade themselves half unclad in revealing clothes? Don't you think they have studied the male psychology and observed that men are moved by what they see.

Let's have no ignorant or stupid lady defending indecent dressing.

I can get a laptop stationed at home for my 7yrs old son rather than get him an iPhone that he can damage or loose easily. It will be so painful and difficult to buy him iPhone severally due to loss and damages.

I think we have had enough of this ESE issue. The daughter is home now so they should take care of her without complaining to the whole world. Decide on keeping the pregnancy or otherwise and invest in the future of ESE.

I heard enough of ESE already.

It is fantastic: makes your day

They can go to wherever, we have stores and we have fruit juice manufacturing companies in Nigeria.

I must confess: she is actually beautiful.

Dino Melaye is jealous!

Hot! She is my crush

I don't really want to believe that PDP did not build a new road, initiated and fully completed, within the period of 10 years.

Hmmmm

Hmmmm. I think you should call off the wedding or delay it. You need to be sure that your wife loves you and she isn't in love with Charles

It is confirmed. Na scam!

Op, is the divorcee in Nigeria? If the answer is yes then you may need to apply caution.

I see some level of desperation in your approach. Just be careful. Your man will still come soon, don't rush into it.

I couldn't help but LOL when this question was asked:

So, what are you comfortable commenting on? Why are you in Geneva?

The reporter must have been frustrated at his several attempts to dodge questions.

Babe, I guess you meant to say that your boyfriend is gay.

From your explanation, I would only suspect that he is bisexual.

If you wish, move naira to 1,000 against $1 in the parallel market. I don't care provided the official CBN rate remains at 199.9.

Uncle AY: just take some chill pills.

If your wife wants to leave so much that she packed out of your house, let her go. It is not the end of the world.

Stella is a gossiper so never mind her, that is what she lives on and she will learn her lesson the hard way later in life.

Just enjoy single life yet again.

Can someone please tell Ayo Fayose that no one asked for his opinion on TSA; his permission isn't needed; it is an instruction to which everyone must comply

American Pitbull Dog! You will thank me.

Are you for real?

COGENT REASONS

1. The finance minister lacks the leadership presence to superintendent the economic ship of the nation. She appears ill-prepared for the onerous task of charting a clear-cut economic direction for the country.

2. The economic flip-flops or sheer directionlessness of this administration shows that Nigeria has, at best, a nominal/figurehead finance minister who is afraid to affirm her convictions even if they end up costing her the job. Put in another way, the finance minister is merely a passenger in Buhari's cabinet who appears hardly perturbed that she is not adding any scintilla of value.

3. The finance minister is increasingly looking clueless with the spate of scandals and blunders that have come to characterise Buhari's administration, economically speaking. Where was the minister amidst the horrendous budget melodrama? Which policy enactment can the minister point at after being in office for over four months?

4. What exactly has the minister done as the economic helmsperson of the nation to stem the zero gravitational free-fall of the naira? What is our defence against the onslaughts of the green backs? Is the CBN increasing the money supply of hard currencies so as to manage their demand? Or is the government stimulating manufacturing and exportation so as to attract foreign currencies and diminish their demand? What exactly is the policy thrust or position/direction of this government?

5. To what extent has the minister been able to mine other people's intellect? Which egg-heads are in her economic team/retinue? Which connection can she boast of to enable Nigeria get out of the woods? What was she able to salvage from the visit of eminent persons to Nigeria like that of IMF boss Christine Lagarde other than looking like a hapless and diffident PA?

Do you need more?

Let me first ask if you understand the principles of separation of powers, portfolio and departments. I am not holding brief for her but let me address your positions:
1) You said "she appears". Well, looks can be misleading. It is about your intellectual and managerial skills, not looks. Also note that she is not the economic coordinating minister so to what extent can she control her colleagues.

2) The budget should determine the direction of the govt but unfortunately, they messed the presentation up so it is glearing that we have some incompetent hands at the budget and planning ministry. I will excuse the minister because it is the first major assignment which was majorly done by staff of the ministry, given the time they resumed at their various offices, the minister probably had less time to scrutinize their jobs hence the national disgrace and embarrassment we have today.

3). She is Minister of Finance not the minister of budget and planning. I remember that the leader of Bring-back-our-girls initiative complained about the separation of ministry of finance and the budget office (which is now with the ministry of budget and planning). I guess she is right after all. Don't outrightly blame her for poor job that is not majorly her responsibility.

4). Instead of you to query the CBN management or governor for that aspect of the monetary policy, if you are confused, you would rather query the finance minister. For now, I have little or no issue with the government policy with respect to the FOREX. I only have issues with restrictions on FOREX purchase for foreign schooling and medical treatments.
We can only manage the onslaught of the greenback, it was inevitable. Naira must fall as a result of the greenback onslaught.FOREX reserve is majorly going down because of the crashing crude oil price and that automatically limits availability of FOREX to the CBN. You may not understand the lots of challenges the CBN and ministry of finance are engaging.

5 . Don't be too quick to judge her on that aspect, the federal government has an economic team to which she is a pry member. They are working on the lots of challenges to Nigerian economy, they are developing strategies and planning to elevate the economy. Stop being a doubting Thomas, wait and see.

Thank you for your criticism, it will bring out the best in them.

Best regards.

No policy direction from them before the budget is passed

My lady, the budget was only presented but not passed. It is being reviewed.
I will not hold brief for them but do you know that majority of them complained about the difference between their proposed budget and what was presented to the house. I strongly feel the issue is with the Ministry of Budget and Planning.
I think there are a lot of incompetent or compromised hands at the ministry of budget and planning.
