Nigeria and Nigerians seems to be confused today which way to go thanks to fuel scarcity. And one begins to wonder how can a mother that has big restaurant with numerous customers daily have her children die of starvation?...This is the fate of Nigeria today albeit painful.

Unfortunately, we allowed most of the problems we see today by our actions and inactions. We are a people easily manipulated and bulldozed with propaganda and lies. We are simply smart by half...We refuse to look beyond our noses; while policy formations of government are supported based on; (a) Who's talking?...(b) What party is he?...(c) What tribe is he?...(d) What religion?...(e)Does it benefit me at least for today?...and other such myopic considerations...At the end, good policy formations are sacrificed at the altar of partisanship. And we keep complaining as usual...

Today a group not sufficient to form a kindred are holding us ransom and we groan with little option in view. They engage in business with no risk, because we the people through government bear and pay for all the risks involved in their line of business...What a business line to be in...Even exchange rate differentials are borne by government for them; hence their singular obligation here is to smile to banks at our detriment.

Jonathan cried and pleaded that we extricate ourselves from this people by removing subsidy in January, 2012; but unfortunately we chose to support these greedy businessmen than our president. Deregulation of that sector was killed. And all attendant problems continued.

Yes, today we still cry corruption in oil sector, bureaucracy, and scarcity occasioned by hoarding of products as well as round tripping of products. All these problems to me would have ended if we supported Jonathan in 2012 to deregulate that sector and open it up to competition and transparent undertakings. We rather supported the "cabal". Now, the poor is subsidizing the rich. Business of oil is undertaken with no risk by the businessmen. We choose to kill a proactive measure by Jonathan that would have cleaned and opened up that sector. Partisanship defined our actions than patriotism.

Which way Nigeria?... Yes, we still shift blame to Jonathan as the president. But what was your role in 2012 subsidy wahala?...Because all these problems could have been averted but we chose otherwise. By refusing deregulation, we supported and fed these monsters of a cabal.

Thanks to Ifeanyi Ubah(Capital Oil); that chose to save us now by opening up his tank farms and jetties. But for how long can we continue like this? Do you cure typhoid fever by simply taking care of the headache?...

ACN/CPC now APC fought against subsidy removal. I hope they keep their words and keep feeding these few. At least we can always borrow more to pay the cabals in case we have no money domestically again...thanks

PassingShot:

I need answers or quit blackmailing people...

PassingShot:
Liar!

As at the time OBJ was leaving office, Nigeria didn't have external debts (I stand to be corrected if wrong) and Yar'Adua left over $40 billion in ECA which sadly is now $2 billion.

NOI is the next worst thing to befall Nigeria after GEJ.

What an intelligent, smart and informed being would have done is to provide verifiable and veritable link to counter her on this if you think she's lying...and not insult someone FAR better than your mother here...try Google for your mother's name and achievements before insulting other people's mother...

Rawani:
I am not one of your sentimental quasi-analysts encumbered with vindictive bile which suppresses their rational abilities. Jonathan robbed this country broke and no words should be minced in stating this fact. The call for a probe is to determine the extent and degree of his misdemeanors which will inform the measures that will be taken to mitigate the effects, and determine appropriate punishment for the kleptomaniac.

Your inability to synthesize Jonathan's many failures and it's adverse effects on your life and that of other Nigerians for sentimental and perhaps sadistic reasons speaks volumes about your reasoning capacity and unfortunately skewed value system.

What are you saying

PassingShot:
Who are the people you think will come out unscathed?

Diezani, Abba Moro, NOI, Stella oduah, Bala Muhammed, Musiliu Obanikoro, Farouk Lawan and their likes can NEVER escape guilty verdict.

I don't care a bit about anyone who is found or not found guilty anyway. I just know that it is the right thing to do for the country to start getting things right.

You're an illiterate... is lawan a cabinet member

Can you tag a clear case of corruption to these names you mentioned for which they will be convicted

OduaVanguard:
Jonathan and his cohorts must be probed and if need be jailed for wrecking the Nigerian economy. By now that should be a no-brainer.

They've been lying to us all this while about the true state of the economy. They need to be held accountable.

Was it Jonathan that brought the debt burden on Osun, lagos, Ogun, Oyo, etc? Aren't you worried that all SW states are neck deep into debts with no means of sustenance outside federal allocation

Between your region cum states and Federal government; who should you be afraid of its debts and ability to pay?

socialmediaman:
This will be very good for democracy. I don't care who is involved, whether APC or PDP, I just want the government to set a precedence that says "if you're caught stealing, no mercy".. It's digusting that people would embezzle money when there are very legitimate ways of making money if you're privileged to be close to government. This country is useless without enforcement of law. I don't give a damn about party affiliation, anyone who is culpable should pay the price...

Believe me, I support such measure 100%...but APC won't allow me because any comprehensive probe will bring its leaders to their knees. Check the dark period of our history and names attached to them and see their party...

Rawani:
Jonathan should be probed and punished, nothing will happen, the heavens will not fall. How can we be serious about turning around our travails as a country if we still cannot be objective enough to do what is right without sentiments. The argument that he should be left alone as past leaders were not probed, lacks all validity because;

1. No one restrained him from doing so, his failure to do so effectively underlines his incompetence;

2. Show me a past Nigerian leader that left the coffers empty AND plunged us in a N13 Trillion debt.

This one already convicted Jonathan even before any probe so much for smart Nigerians...

Also, didn't know Nigeria hasn't been owing and no debts where left by past leaders...I imagine the level of education and mental capacity of most of you guys here...smh

PassingShot:
The fact is that for any nation to move in the right direction and progress toward real development, each and every government must be held accountable for her actions and inactions. Only when people realize that they will be called to answer for their deeds and misdeeds would they behave reasonably.

I know many TANoids will argue that for Buhari to probe GEJ or any of his ministers, he must first probe IBB, OBJ and many before GEJ. What they are not mindful of is the fact that President Buhari cannot probe all but he is morally obliged to look into actions of his immediate predecessors and not all before him.

If he does this, Nigeria will have taken a very giant step in moving towards accountability.

I support a COMPREHENSIVE probe of Jonathan administration from 2010-2015...Throw the cards open and let the world judge...ALL offenders should rot in jail...

Believe me, all the people you wish to see in jail may most likely come out unscathed while most APC drivers and consultants will be culpable...Remember, Jonathan dared buhari to probe that he isn't afraid of probe...

mohisi:
Gen Buhari discovered this great woman

Big lie...stop deceiving people...

Jesusloveyou:
what is this one saying, maybe u are referring to dumbo op.

how are u?...have you registered for the almajiri education?

Jklue007:
I refuse to be deceived, Okonjor Iweala is responsible for the mismanagement of the foreign reserve, or are you telling me the governors forum don't know what they are saying before dropping this weighty allegations?? U sef think am

It's a choice in life to choose what to believe... Truth or falsehood?... Right or Wrong?...its all by choice...Choosing to call me a thief though false is your choice and can never make me one...So also in this regard here...thanks

4Play:
You made a specific claim that she shared the excess revenues against advice but that claim is misleading and disingenous because it conveys the impression that she wanted the account depleted. No one railed repeatedly against depleting the account more than she did so the depletion of the account, contrary to her advice, hardly counts against her. She didn't decide to deplete the account, she was compelled to as you cannot maintain the account without the support of the Governors and the President. If we had done what she advocated, we won't be in this position.

Can you just ignore this socialmediaman as he keeps typing LONG uninformed posts all over this forum...

See his skewed submission on NNPC...
Then to NOI depleting ECA...
To events in custom & NPA...
and so many others...
I get irritated seeing people misleading others in the name of trying to claim intelligent and informed folks...

NOI isn't perfect but exhibited some great ingenuity while working with some treacherous beings like SLS; whose term as CBN governor would go down in history as the most rancorous worldwide... I am yet to see another CBN governor worldwide in the news always like him both for economic and none economic reasons...

Our IPPIS and some other initiatives are to her credit...After her term comes other opportunities for her...For I am sure, she would continue being an international player while her detractors who are mainly local champions continue with throwing muds locally...

socialmediaman; is it that you're this dumb or you choose to use your backside to reason...

As usual, you wrote a thesis of simply myopic and uninformed submission... Nigeria is really doomed with brains like yours littering everywhere... And unfortunately, you aren't ashamed of these senseless posts that show how uninformed you're...

The delight of this festive period is going to be lost to workers in about 27
states of the federation, but more especially those in Benue, Ondo, Osun, and
Oyo State Civil Service, as they celebrate in groans and tears over unpaid
salaries of several months by the state government.
While others in other organizations go home smiling with bags of rice and other
take home allowance, this festive period seems bleak and faded for workers in
these three states as the government of the state has ignored them all.
Workers in Ondo state embarked on strike on Thursday over the unpaid salary
of three months by the state government and threatened to shut down
Mimiko’s Government.
Same is said in Osun State where workers rely largely on salaries; there is also
a pause in commercial activities in the State because of non-payment of civil
servants’ salaries for months in the state.
In Ogun State where the civil service workers have been unpaid for months,
there have been lamentations and demands that their salaries should be paid
regularly rather than the staggered mode of payments which is causing them
pain during this festive period.
Meanwhile, in Oyo state, where the government also owes workers of the state,
the state Secretary Chief Michael Koleso escaped by whiskers when protesting
angry civil servants almost mobbed him on Monday over their overdue unpaid
salaries. It always reported that daughters of the state Governor Ajimobi have
been involved in ostentatious display of wealth by buying expensive dresses,
with each of them worth a whooping sum of N3million, for a British Fashion
Award while state workers languish in lack and penury.

life because he got frustrated over his inability to cater for his family.
The source affirmed, “Baba Ibeji, Owolabi, drank herbicide. He was frustrated
because he has been unable to feed himself and other members of his family.
“You are aware that the state government has not paid workers for some
months now. I think he just lost hope and decided to take his life by drinking
Gramoxone.
Diezani reportedly jets out with Buhari to London
DAILY POST learnt that Owolabi’s wife and children have moved out of the
house after he could not meet their needs.

Gbawe:
I hope the usual sycophants of GEJ and the PDP on Nairaland , as well as those generally uninformed of aregbesola's effort, will read and comprehend what is written below. Folks who work with fact and have personal integrity will agree that the attack on Aregbesola is simply motivated by mischief and bigotry. He will be one of the best Governors in Nigeria. His record of achievement is there for all to see even if mischief makers , supporting a historically mediocre President , want to pretend otherwise. In the case of Beaf, he is simply a Yoruba wannabe who follows and worship Yoruba people and the SW like a lost dog with no home of its own.

Most Nigerians are poor & wretched not simply because of the system; but because they channel ALL their energy into the wrong places consciously or unconsciously...How can people grow with this burden of hatred, envy, and jealousy in & on them?...You can NEVER overtake whomever you carry such burden for because they will keep weighing you down... Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. –Norman Vincent Peale
