SHE DESERVE IT HEHEHEHE
Nigeria has very good economy on paper or theory but on reality or practical, nothing to show for it...... Now i know why Nigerians accuse CNN for fake news cos they report without knowing what is on the ground.

Looking at your moniker alone defines you and your mental capability... unfortunately I don't engage people with such IQ capacity as yours...thanks

thunder go fire that Yale.

Hatred or partisanship...which of them is your problem?

As we denigrate our own due to bigotry and hatred; the outside world appreciates them and God elevates them the more...

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has received an honorary Doctorate degree from Yale University one of the United State of America’s most prestigious institutions of higher learning.

The Minister was awarded a Doctor of Humane Letters at Yale’s 2015 Commencement Ceremony in New Haven, Connecticut Monday. She is the second Nigerian in the university’s 314-year history to receive its highest honour after Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka who received an honorary Doctor of Letters in 1980.

Giving out the award, the President of the University Professor Peter Salovey described Okonjo-Iweala as “a brilliant reformer and dedicated public servant.” He said that Minister “has spearheaded efforts to stabilize and grow Nigeria’s economy, battling widespread government corruption and creating greater fiscal transparency and discipline.”

Yale’s honorary doctorate degree is seen globally as a very important honour. According to the institution “those who have received honorary degree are scholars, public servants, Nobel Prize winners and heads of states.

“Collectively, they represent the aspirations of this institution. Yale honorary degree recipients serve as models of excellence and service to our students, to our graduates, to our community and to the world,” the institution says.

As Finance Minister in 2004, Okonjo-Iweala and the economic team that she led helped Nigeria obtain debt relief, wiping out $30 billion of Paris club debt, leading to a tripling of the growth rates.

The second time around as Finance Minister in 2011, Okonjo-Iweala has focused on building solid foundations and institutions critical for the survival and sustenance of the economy. She bravely fought corruption in governance with fierce dedication and unflagging energy.

Okonjo-Iweala was honored alongside the Chair of the Board of Governors of US Federal Reserve System Janet Yellen, world renowned Beninoise Singer and songwriter Angelique Kidjo, University Professor and founding member of the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society at Columbia University Gayatari Chakravorty Spivak, Professor and Director of the Starr Center for Human Genetics at Rockefeller University Jeffrey Michael
Friedman, Inventors and Entrepreneurs Elon Musk and Dean Kamen, etc.

Yale had in the past honored a handful of other Africans such as Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

This is the kind of inequality and injustice that I expect Barcanista, whynotthetruth, knowledgeable and co to fight against given their keen seen of "justice"? If GMB turns around to support this, in spite of his well known view against social injustice, we will also mobilize against his administration. Let us speak truth to power: people are suffering!

1)This reporter is mischievous. There's nothing shocking about something which we have known to exist for long although they lazily chose not to investigate/report it or probably its part of the plot to keep giving Jonathan a bad name. Having noticed their incapacitation in offering good governance hence they must invent all manner of excuses cum blames and heap them on Jonathan administration to take the fall for them...

2)We are in democracy with separation of powers and independence of different arms of government as key. Why would we heap our misgivings of a particular arm on another?...

3)It's in the open that Jonathan administration has reportedly supported budget cut for national assembly and even the executive. Hence some 25% or so cut was accepted. Reason why this notorious reporter and newspaper didn't capture that tells more about their agenda and motive for news such as this...

4)Note that majority of these lawmakers are from the North followed by SouthWest. Hence, you wont be surprised that they are against regionalism. Because the status quo feeds and favours them...

5)If our agitation for regionalism is supported by all and finally granted. Malaise such as these will automatically be wiped out. You don't cure malaria by just taking care of the headache. There are other issues here.

6)I am not against reducing cost of government and governance as it pertains to recurrent expenditure for executive and legislature in the interim. But regionalism should be taken note of and pursued as a way out of lazy system of leadership and parasitic governance.

socialmediaman:
You mean the patriotic ones who left when Justice and democratic principles left PDP, and came together to sacrifice and elect Buhari our man?

You're hypocritical and this statement confirms that you're schizophrenic too...

PassingShot:
You know I'm not a bigot and if you think I am one, kindly tell me what kind it is.

To those you refer to as being part of APC hierarchy, APC will handle them the way they will not become nuisance and enemies of progress to Nigeria. On many occasions I have told you that all political parties all over the world are populated by the good, the bad and the ugly. It is how the party handles them that matter.
Oya, tender your apologies now before I change my mind. 8
That I accorded you a mention should even make you happy.
Take care boy!.

Handle them...it seems you're schizophrenic too...From APC national chairman; Oyegun downwards were former PDP chieftains...

Beremx:
shut up you hungry monetary protection seeker. I find it disgusting that you even responded to me.

PDP has admitted their failures in all ramifications and you're talking about exclusive admittance. Nonsense!!

Who is PDP?...Can you name who they are maybe the faces of PDP from 1999 till now?...alongside their current party now

SeverusSnape:
You have time giving this guy a nice response.
Kudos for that, BTW,, I saw your thread, was on ban by then; So couldn't comment.
Thanks for that.

Its well we oblige them such education...
Sorry for your ban and welcome back...
me dey fear all this ban thing oooo

socialmediaman:
Accepting responsibility is just rhetoric, we would be watching to see how their remaining governors transform their states. For all I care, these people are looking for sympathy to take power through the backdoor, they have realised that all those permanent suites at NICON and Sheraton will now have to be personally funded, so they wanna play on the psyche of Nigerians, but trust us, we know what you guys have been up to in the past 16 years... This apology will lead you nowhere, PDP is filled with jobless people whose only job is waiting for allocations from FG oil, that is the PDP culture I know of, "share the money".., by the way if this was a way of the NWC trying to crave sympathy to avoid the tsunami that is about to sweep them, lol, it has failed...

Here comes the hypocrite with his thesis of nonsense as always

Biggty:
Today I celebrate ME! The birth of Me! The person I have grown to be! The person I will become!

I am grateful to God for the gift of life, I am void without him. Also thankful to my earthly parents for nurturing me into the graceful, lovely, and great person I am today.

Happy birthday to Me! I wish myself many more years of joy, love, laughter, health and prosperity strength and wisdom for days to come and success with everything I do today, and tomorrow!

Join me in celebration

Happy born day bro...ad multos annos

PassingShot:
Well, it's good to accept responsibility for all your atrocities. However, your members who stole our common wealth one way or the other should voluntarily return at least half of their loots. That way, we can now start to take you guys serious.

Dearpreye, Whynotthetruth, Mogidi, SeverusSnape, Barcanista and other PDPians, you all need to clearly tender your apologies and acceptance of responsibility for your attempt to misinform some forum members and misrepresent facts through your numerous threads here.

Once you've done that, we can start to take you guys serious too.

Thanks for my mention...fortunately apology isn't a sign of weakness but of strength and corrigible beings...Yes, I support lots of introspection for PDP...

Now, passingshot, in your bigoted mind and partisan spirit; have you ever taken time to check who make up APC hierarchy...Weren't they part of government since this democratic dispensation or most since 1978...Very soon conflict of interest will emerge among them...

TRUTHTOPOWER:
Indeed, look up my posts. I speak truth to power! not by half, the whole truth! I once said GMB campaign won't be immune to the current epidemic of corruption. That he has sufficient moral fibre to save us from a free fall. I never said he was perfect. As for GEJ, I once said no one was caught with a smoking gun. I presume he is innocent. But his constitutional innocence could not save him from my legitimate reaction to what I experience as a Nigerian. Your experience is different from mine so why should I support a man based on your own experience. My neighbour is a Christian from Chibok. they voted GEJ in 2011 but now the experience of corrupt neglect made them to vote GMB. The choice is not as simple as you think it was. for many of who live close to the ground zero we see corrupt derelection of duty on the part of those who had sworn to protect us. I may be too naive to bother about who stole what where when and how unless what was stolen undermined my security and thereby exposing me to clear and present danger.but I won't blame you if you conveniently juggle the proportion of iniquity between Abacha and GEJ or GMB and GEJ. However, when you are faced with the choice in the context of danger you may think of changing your guards! GEJ was sufficiently warned. The six week military campaign showed that he was not helpless all along. Ok maybe all have sinned or all are corrupt or GEJ is a saint. Whatever! 90% for the rich 10% (budget ratio) for the poor is a recipe for social disaster. I refused to validate the disaster QED.

I wish you guys can bring up issues not persons. I am not going to hold GMB to the standard of any Nigerian leader. GEJ and Abacha? Haba! there are sufficient principles of governance under chapter 2 of our constitution that you can gauge govt performance with. anything short of good governance issues is nothing but childish bickering.

1)I find it very naive that you and your seeming group "who live to ground zero" as you said would abandon your grassroot government and look up to Jonathan that's a central government...Your local government and states government are there for all you desire...

2)Your alluding to six week's military success even with all the explanation from the military on why and how they came about the success... Your hatred for Jonathan won't allow you to see such cogent reasons as plausible...

3)Buhari had and still has no will or morality to fight corruption. Not when he eats and wines with corruption. His campaign funds were funds belonging to different states but were stolen to achieve his personal ambition. Other corrupt persons also donated to him. He's interested in power not in any corruption fight. Darkness cannot fight darkness...He took stolen funds to campaign hence cannot fight those who steal...He's interested only in power....

4)Jonathan is not the problem of chibok. Shettima and borno elders are. Chibok were used as baits to drag Jonathan down. Soon when the centre cannot hold again; lots of truth will emerge. Many questions than answers exist in Chibok.

5)We are looking at the person of buhari for now vis a vis reality and his laundered image used for campaign...

TRUTHTOPOWER:
whynotthetruth. list all the corrupt charges against GMB with figures. list all the corrupt charges against GEJ with figures. do plus and minus. see soludo figures. not a fair assessment? OK. erase all the charges. look at rising rate of crime in south alone. the greater the corruption the lesser the resources available to the masses and the higher the crime rate. poor logic? OK, I give up.

I don't understand this at all? can you rephrase and post again?.... thankz

TRUTHTOPOWER:
whynotthetruth hear more: the 'whole' truth, "nothing" but the truth. GMB simply afforded Gen Abacha the constitutional presumption of innocence. it is a legal right that he is entitled to. so the burden of proof is on you to prove beyond reasonable doubt. GMB did not exonerate Abacha nor absolve him of other charges against him. But he said after 10 years all these talk should be over if our leaders knew what they were doing. GEJ freed Abacha's men so how did GMB err by his constitutional words. Govt apparatus should not be turned into instrument of cheap blackmail. support me or I will expose you or prosecute you. The argument against GEJ is not that GMB or Abacha were saints, it is impunity in which Nigeria and Nigerians were disappearing. It was not like that under any past leader no matter what. You can give all the excuses in the world but the bulk stopped at GEJ table. what was he afraid of? they threatened to do the right thing by exposing the traitors. but at the end it was easier to keep quiet and lose power to those denigrated for four years. can you beat that?!

Actually, I didn't understand where you were going or what you wanted to achieve with this thesis

1)It's either you don't understand English or you're simply being mischievous and smart by half by trying to read another meaning into this...

2)This statement was made after Obj has retrieved some million dollars from the Abachas...so which evidence do you want again

3)Jonathan did what is known as plea bargain just like Obj did also...otherwise such case and money will remain in court while both parties wait unending any meaningful outcome...Smart people do such and the opportunity cost of this smart cum intelligent strategy is the public/TV conviction that Nigerians enjoy to see...

4)Abacha's wife brought buhari into politics hence buhari sold his conscience for a porridge. The result is that shameless statement of his maybe as part of his gratitude at the expense of integrity and sincerity...

5)Mohammed Abacha was touted as the chief financier of buhari CPC in 2011...Buhari is dirty because you can't wear white to a mud play and come back without stains...

6)Nothing like innocent till proven otherwise by court here because the loot is there for all to see...there's no need for evidence again...

7)Do you have such evidence against Jonathan... Will you grant such reprieve for Jonathan now as you seek for buhari?...Buhari is as clean as Abacha. QED

dearpreye:
Boss, those words are just too much for a learner like me. Anyway, it's appreciated.

Though we haven't met physically, based on your comments, arguments and threads here, I can go on and write some few pages about you and your paradigm.

More than anything else, you've always come to my aid whenever it appeared I'm about to be subdued in arguments by the Broom waving hypocrites. Just when I thought I was boxed into a corner, you gallantly appeared and presented facts and figures only the idiots can gainsay. To this, I'm deeply grateful and honoured. Of all traits of friendship, nothing is as great as being there. Reliability is more important than money, intelligence and promises; you can be relied on.

Our nation is blessed because of you. And it's my deepest desire and prayer that God shall continue to embolden and strengthen you as you oppose the hypocrites and the liars.

Let me stop here. The temptation to continue must be resisted. Shalom!

Sincerely, you're an orator cum great writer...such as can make even an unwilling soul jump the sea for you We keep looking up to great minds as yours to keep our dreams alive...God bless you boss...

Aegon: I love your post on page ONE...such an emotional drop by you...here I am picturing Ikemefuna in my mind again... thanks sir...

Dearpreye; since the morning of our meeting, I have always held you in high regards and won't stop neither by evening nor by night...it's brothers for life...Just wish and pray to be blessed with your kinda tolerance, intelligence and humility...thanks for this great article and most importantly for your epic response to the first poster on this thread...good evening boss

And more terrorists support APC as days turn to weeks...

psalmizt:
I have largely avoided this thread. Anyone who believes Abacha was not corrupt must be the greatest Nigerian fool alive. Here's a quick peek into what could have transpired under his regime. Take crude oil sales. He was the sole agent on d buyer and seller side in addition to unilaterally giving commissions on crude sales and then the singular personality that determined what was imported as refined products. Just take the current subsidy debacle and picture 1 man in the centre of everything instead of the myriads of marketers. In just that sector you will understand why the Abacha family will say no matter how poor they get they can never be as poor as Dangote. The family is said to own huge chain of businesses wrongly ascribed to the Lebanese and Chinese concerns. Only insiders can verify such claims. So it all depends on what corruption is. Those generals who assigned juicy oil blocks of the Niger Delta to themselves are equally corrupt. OBJ who made himself Minister of Petroleum for 8 years is also corrupt. The major reason for GEJ being referred to as corrupt, not that he is a saint, is the transparency he introduced. Things are most likely to be reported under GEJ than under OBJ. It is funny some ppl re saying GEJ is the most corrupt Nigerian leadeR. Imagine the dude is yet to even complete his house in Abuja. Well we know certain ppl have to be given a bad name so as to justify the need for a regional shift in power.

Thanks for this post Sir...

Raising 100-150 broilers
I will assume that you already have your pen ready for stocking the said amount of birds that you intend raising so I may not want to include pen construction cost, I will also want to assume that you have already purchased other basic equipment which include your Feeding and drinking equipment which make up your fixed cost, but from my rough estimate of 200 birds which includes variable cost of feed, purchase of D.O.C, medication, vaccination, labor cost as well as miscellaneous expenses it is expected that you should be ready to spend nothing less than #160,000 to raise 200 commercial broiler birds to a mean average weight of 1.8kg. This is probably equitable to an estimate cost of #800 per bird.

As per your second question, from experience i will Advise you go for Abor Acre breed of broilers. They have a good FCR and this will enable you easily attain the desired weight at the right time putting all proper management practices into place. Make sure that they have a good uniformity when collecting them from the Hatchery.You can as well weigh them once they arrive your farm to study their growth rate.
I know you can get Abor Acre from CHI (Ajanla) farms or basically find out from other experienced broiler farmers in your environs.

1)Thanks so much boss...God bless

2)Plz I am a novice in this but hopes to run this farm through an experienced third party...so most abbreviations don't make sense to me...kindly help plzzz...because I desire to be at home with all he says to avoid lots of cheating and shortchanges...

3)We have to construct pens because I have none...help me with an estimate plz Sir...

4)Can you plzz break down the above figure by attaching figures to the variables listed above like vaccination etc...

5)Kindly avoid lumping figures together plz Sir. A little more breaking down will be appreciated...

socialmediaman:
Ok fine, I guess you didn't get the gist..

The gist is, right now, many Nigerians don't give a sh**t about what GMB did or didn't do in the past, this election was all about removing Jonathan and moving forward, for given us one of the worst leadership ever.. What Nigerians need is good governance that will affect their lives positively, after that happens, then you may come back and repost these.. Maybe then some people will give some sh**t

socialmediaman:
I'm a patriot! I stand for the truth, sometimes it's not logical, but truth is, those allegations remained allegations without a guilty verdict. We know Abacha looted money, but then why didn't the government go to the courts to prove these? What if some of that money belonged to Yasaar Arafat or Ghadaffi and not Nigeria? We have laws, man.

smh...definition of hypocrisy is you...

angelsing:
It is plain obvious u don't care about my opinion on the thread it self but rather on my opinion of Barcanista...Has it is it is my opinion on him and not on u...Pls kindly let him defend himself as he is capable of doing that....Not everyone is like u who wish death on someone because of an argument on #Ekiti Gate...It is crystal clear u are the one with Anger issue has it has been seen all over the thread have had issue to argue with you..This is faceless forum and to liking me to a to a terrorist simply shows what u harbour deep in ur heart...You too grow up and stop acting like Doyin okupe

I called you to express your opinion about the topic not about the person of Op...You just ran out of track...accept it bro...if I mess up, I accept too and apologise and move on...

unphilaz:
Apply same to GEJ

GEJ isn't God, so u don't expect him to be perfect in his actions and statements. He can't always be right. Only God is perfect..

Thanks...this will tell you that Jonathan ouster isn't about his performance but ethno religious sentiments and animosity against him...

socialmediaman:
If this was what Buhari said then there's no issue here. If you have a case against Abacha then take him to the law court and jail him, not level accusations just like GEJ was doing to Tinubu through AIT and the hate documentary. Don't just accuse someone of being corrupt even 10yrs after when you're the government who has all the evidence, that was Buhari's point in all that.

See hypocrisy... have you taken any of those in Jonathan administration who you have been emotionally convicting and blackmailing here to court...I wanted see how strong you will condemn buhari given his speech even with all the evidence and loot returned; unfortunately you didn't disappoint me by showing what a hypocrite you're... it's really pathetic how you guys hate people and condemn them even with no evidence...Today, we have all the evidence and you're saying; "if it is".... pathetic souls and hypocrites... so much for anti-corruption folks...bet it you people will be worse than abacha in looting...

hahahahah....Buhari fanatic?, far from it...irony of life, you are the one crying all over nairaland everyday over the epistle of buhari this buhari that....It is obvious you are the pained one here...How best to describe any sour loser, just cream barcanista and there u have it.....Cry from now till 2019, we will continue to bath with ur tears...Thanks once again for convincing me to vote Buhari, I will forever be grateful....Not your fan anymore!

I think the joke is on you guys...because I still happily criticize buhari and I receive attacks in return which is a strong evidence of frustration, hatred, and immaturity of the attackers...barcanista writes his stuff and drops here...I think the unhappy ones are those jealous of him and cracking brains on how best to insult him instead of his posts. It's a proof too that outside him nobody else can concoct any valuable article in your camp...

angelsing:
Barcanista you have lost all moral ground to criticise Buhari right now..You kept quiet all this while when u were campaigning for Buhari, u overlooked all this because It does not serve ur purpose then...You can cry all u want now, it won't change anything because you are probably the person people think you are...I can argue all day with whynotthetruth when I have the time over whatever thread he post at list I know he is true to his cause not like you who keeps flip floping all over the place for selfish reason....Face your blog and promote it rather than start a witch hunt that won't change the fact that Your late support for GEJ cost u ur nairaland credibility!...Cry baby Barcanista...not your fan anymore!

Evidence of deep seated animosity and hatred in you for someone who don't give a damn about you...You only destroy the little remaining in you...purge your being now

Did the guy you're insulting stop you from achieving your own goals in life?...Many of these folks are frustrated and hatred ridden...Just do your stuff and forget them jare
