Why should I give you a loan at 10%, when risk free investments are giving 12%

Not expecting such from A human database of investment options like yourself. I have at least four pages of investment tips from you and other smart minds on here ready to utilize in the nearest future as part of retirement but for now, still personal business.

Check with your family members friends church members and neighbors

. You do know it takes a lot of thought prior bringing such here and being from a family where you are seen as the "bread winner" but barely baking enough bread for yourself, your dream and personal obligation. Thank you Hamachi .

Talk to your relationship officer in the bank

Thank you Sir Emmanuel, the bank is offering a higher interest rate that is unfavorable in all sense of it . Considering your wealth of experience in the financial and investment space, I wouldn't mind a referral to any bank or organisation that will accept my offer, if you know of any.

5 million naira loan needed for the completion of a project that generate minimum of 2 million naira annually.
*10% yearly interest for a loan period of 2-3 years.
* Non depreciating fixed asset collateral currently value at 40% to 50% more than loan (LTV ratio) .

* Collateral security is within Lagos mainland residential area.

A functional government need not campaign so hard to get votes.

are you really sure about that? Fayemi's government was a functional one and he did campaigned but lost. A functional government need to campaign more vigorously when falsehood is being spread by the opposition.

@Wise, do not be fooled. Nigerians have decided and chosen the General.

I have a mind of my own and i can't be fooled by media hypes and others...It is your decision to vote for the General but it is my decision to vote GEJ, mobilize votes for Amosun in Ogun State and Mobilize votes for JK in Lagos.

If you think my decision is wrong, don't bother trying to have me change my mind cos no decision can be said to be right or wrong until the outcome of the decision. I don't trust the general and it is my personal opinion.

Elections: Chocolate City Boss, Audu Maikori Makes Case For President Jonathan (Opinion)

I watched Buharis campaign speech yesterday and I left feeling like I was listening to my father speaking to me- and that’s sort of natural afterall he and my father are about the same age. Buhari is an awesome figure, very impressive in terms of what he stands for as a person . Indeed i must tell a story – way back in 1998 during the perennial university strikes I was in kaduna during one of the perennial fuel scarcity episodes. I was at the ungwar Rimi filling station and had been on a line for 3 hrs or so waiting for my turn to buy fuel. And if you can recall those days, fuel lines were like military camps and people were violent if you tried to jump the queue unless you were a friend of the petrol station manager or a soldier And Buhari drove into the area in his 505 looking for fuel and somehow people saw him and all of a sudden people started moving their cars out of the way to allow him drive up to fill his tank. This people did without compulsion-it was out of sheer respect of him, the man, the father figure- that was Buhari(pre -PTF).

If Buhari was going to be allowed to run the country based on his ideals alone, I would probably change my mind ( after I get past the age factor) But honestly speaking , governance is not strictly about a single personality- it’s a series of conversations around different interest groups and institutions and walking the fine line between your decisions based on personal interest or moral values and / or public interest- which usually means a politicized decision.

I feel that a Buhari presidency though well intended will not achieve much due to the fact that he will try to purge Nigeria via old school methods which are no longer practical. He will be the face but the real machinery will be run by some of Nigeria’s most “pious” politicians – people like Tinubu, Amaechi , Atiku ,etc. The question is will they allow him to stop the business as usual environment they have benefited from to their detriment?

When he spoke about sharia a few years back which was seen as very inciteful and how it was necessary in Nigeria, he spoke as a devout Muslim that he is- but the statement was so politically incorrect especially since you know that same Sharia implementation led to the death of thousands of man and women in kaduna state alone in the early 2000’s This led to the division of southern kaduna from northern kaduna and the relocation of the people to Barnawa and beyond due to religious intolerance.

When it comes to elections, I personally feel that we are asking a man who’s ways and actions are set to suddenly become dynamic and new and do so with the support of leaders who were not just part of the PDP rot but were key players in it. Suddenly the are born again and old things are passed and have become “new”…

Goodluck is far from perfect but I see him continuing to make steady inroads especially in the area of the economic advancement of young people because the cliche is true – the youth are the future but the future is now and here!

Has he done well? In some areas yes but in security no. That’s the fact. I won’t go into the reasons why not but we should note that the rot in the army started many years before Jonathan and the insurgency only opened the cankerworm that was hidden because the need to protect Nigeria hadn’t arisen in over 39 or so.

About corruption having worked around government for almost 3 years I now understand things I never quite understood. Most of the corruption in Our country is usually attributed to government and the civil service which is true but we forget that they need collaborators in the private sector to successfully perpetrate these crimes. The best way to fight corruption is to build institutions and use technology to fortify them so they can reduce incidences of corruption- that’s the truth. You can’t tap an MTN line like we used to tap the box telephones at home in those days. You can’t pass the Lekki toll gate without paying 120 at the automated gates but the politicians can set up companies to surreptitiously buy the company that owns the gates( hope you get my drift) and that’s done at top level. You can’t also fight corruption if you tip a policeman at every checkpoint instead of taking the day off and ensuring you get your drivers license so wecan stop the extortion – yes that too is corruption.
Why is budget implementation so poor?because the National Assembly unduly politicizes the process leading to late passage of the bills ( in 2013 it was in July / August same as 2014) so when projects don’t get delivered its mostly because of slow passage of the bill.

The other reason is that the appropriations committees can tamper with the budget how they like that’s why a project like the perilous Lokoja -Abuja road which led to the death of many Nigerians took over 10 years to be completed because the amounts appropriated by the NASS was simply inappropriate to adequate fund the completion. It was only when Sureprogramme intervention came that the road was fast tracked ( as most can testify) same with the railways , roads and bridges etc- why?because the SUREP funds were better insulated from tampering unlike many other projects approved for completion. There are now policies being put to change this to make execution more effect off of the lessons we learnt via Surep on a federal level.

But I digress, I agree that GMB is a fine gentleman and leader but I also believe that if I did vote for him I would be doing so nostalgically not realistically because there’s a new Nigeria where people are earning a living off their talents and passions and creating a new middle class which was virtually non existent post GEJ and that’s the Nigeria I want to be part of…Agriculture is becoming the new sexy and his administration has pushed it even more than Obasanjo ( a renowned farmer did). No matter how I explain FB or Instagram or the global economy to my dad now he may not fully grasp it as a person below 35 would and I fear that I would rather move forward imperfectly than go back to the past in search of Utopia.

This is just my view of things and I have taken time to state it and not berate GMB – it’s my vote , it’s my choice, some will say that I vote for hm because of SUREP. But honestly I do so because in him I see a man who is imperfect, struggling with his imperfections to make things better and I see room for improvement and change….in all fairness we are all sort of like that trying to get a better report card and improve on poor subjects of last semester. In the latter I see an upright man of integrity and high discipline who doesn’t yet realize that one of his disciples may yet betray because they don’t stand for the same ideals.

GEJ cannot get 20% of Kano State. A common schoolyard soccer game in Kano draws as much as this crowd.

is that all you could based your argument on? we all know the game of football has more fans than politics but the result will shock you.

Don't just do the talking, campaign for your candidate...if you will look beyond the political lies, you will agree with me that GEJ is working.


Audu Maikori's view of GEJ government: /p3SkLp-8Fu http:///4kX6cbRid

agabusta:
*yimu*

GEJ will still lose Kano woefully.

Sai Buhari!!!

Let your thumb do the talking.

Kano.

Kano people sabi turn up oooo.

Add more real pictures here so the truth can set us free.

Yes, we were treated to a flashback picture of Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke being falsely propagated as pictures from APC rally in Kano but thank God we have people with a mind of their own and not robot followers.

All GEJ needs is 20% of the total votes cast in Kano...Note: This is not another Reinhard Bonnke's APC fake pictures..:

GMB core Northern supporters = "Power must return to North". GMB SW supporters = "Yaay,he dies in office & Osinbajo takes over"

Selective criticism when non of them is holy.

Thread declared DEAD ON ARRIVAL!!
Reason: SPONSORSED BY CLONED BRAINS.

You mean one of the cloned brains that claimed to have graduated from the University of Toronto? Only for the late Gani Fawehinmi to burst his lies and he went prostrating. O certificate e, O certificate, O gba master, O gba master, O politician, O politician..*in lagbaja's voice.

If Jagaban can't provide his University of Toronto certificate, why would you be surprised if GMB has non "but we should note that Wisdom, Smartness and IQ is most times not determined by educational background or within the walls of the class room."

Don't be fool, be guarded...it is very disheartening that we sometimes abused our avenue for making valuable contributions for selfish motive...misleading the populace for political gain or advantage....IN THE WORD OF ONE POPULAR AJEGUNLE GALALA SINGER.....TELL DEM SAY, OUR EYES DON CLEAR...TELL DEM SAY OUR EYES DON OPEN OOOO.

Now someone is buying Boli ati epa (roasted plantain and groundnut) from the roadside, the same people they are chasing from their means of livelihood...same people they are impoverishing....What is wrong with us as a nation? They are guilty of this and since we are not ready for the desire change (not the change being offered by politicians) but real CHANGE that is beyond politics.

They will remember our hood, our city, that impoverished city and ghettos cos they need our vote and we will obliged as fools they have always perceived us to be.


POLITICS IS THE GENTLE ART OF GETTING VOTES FROM THE POOR AND CAMPAIGN FUNDS FROM THE RICH, BY PROMISING TO PROTECT EACH FROM THE OTHER.---Oscar Ameringer.

God bless Nigeria...Do not let your vote be influenced by propaganda/ media hype/ those political newspapers and magazines...Let your choice or decision be influenced by you....I KNOW IT IS NOT EASY FOR MAN OR WOMAN TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ON A ROAD MADE OF NAILS....For that it is my personal decision to vote Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

For those of you in OGUN STATE, do not make the mistakes of not voting for Governor Senator Ibikunle Amosun...he is another good example of performance or performing governor...despite the little or meager internal generated revenue, OGUN STATE is working...not working for the rich but for all. His performance speaks volume and i heard the debt profile of Ogun State is non or near zero in comparison to the massive infrastructural development.

If Buhari is indeed a saint and a man of unquestionable character, why is uncle Wole Soyinka not endorsing him despite his love for d APC? The injustice and abused of power under the regime of General Buhari was "awesome".

They are preaching "CHANGE" but they can't start by asking members of their party in the National Assembly to cut down its budget.#Nigeria

They are not ready to lead by example, yet that are claiming saints....Osun: N18.6bn budgeted for 19 agencies under Governor’s Office in 2015 http:///87Zwcx

FOI Bill gives us the right to question, and attacked the President even when we are biased in our attack or criticism of him..WHAT IS STOPPING THE APC GOVERNORS FROM DOMESTICATING THE FOI BILL?

They said only lovers of poverty will vote PDP, they said if you vote for PDP, you are foolish and they keep attacking anyone whose view and belief is not in tune with theirs.

"You should do everything possible to ensure the PDP doesn't return to power come 2015"- Buhari (ABEOKUTA)....what a violence inciting statement..what other means is he advising other than your voting power? Little wonder why he has been receiving the blame and they have been pimping the BH activities on him.

Contrary to what APC claims, only 2 items were 'purchased' in 1984 and 1985...75 4K-7FA APCs, the completion of an order Shagari placed in 1981 RAT-31S Air Search Radar (since it's dual civilian/military gotten mainly for civ purposes, not technically military spending, plus it cost US$ 6 million not $160 million).

Please note, The MBT MK-3s and their 12V-71 engines from 1985 are the same order from 1981, a $115 million deal that had been fully financed but not delivered.

APC claims Buhari spent $541 to purchase Aircraft, real amount was US$0.
APC claims Buhari spent $160 million to purchase Air Defense Systems, real amount was US$0.
She claims Buhari spent $103 million to purchase Armored Vehicles. Each of the 75 4K-7FA APCs, cost about $57,178 (http:///cmLujf ), so all 75 came to a mere US$4.28 million.

APC claims Buhari spent $12 million to purchase sensors, guess what real amount was? Yup, US$0.

APC claims Buhari spent $43 million to purchase missiles, real amount was US$0.

Look at your results:

Seems APC propagandists don't want to leave well enough alone...still insist that Buhari spent $950 Million on purchasing arms between 1984-1985.
They also still insist that Goodluck Jonathan was wrong when he said Buhari didn't buy a single rifle for the army..Taking the lead in rebutting the rebuttal is @AbikeDabiri, outgoing HoR member, who made some very interesting albeit totally bogus claims.

Firstly she stated the infographic came from @SIPRIorg, and then went on to tell us about an endorsement SIPRI got from UPENN and about another one it got from the UN.

Wonderful for SIPRI credibility, but totally irrelevant to her narrative about Buhari's non existent arms purchase

without much ado, let's debunk the notion that Buhari bough arms once. below are pictorial facts clearly pointing out the truth;

-Firstly, go to SIPRA's Trade Register here: http:///Mgqtzp
-Leave Suppliers as 'All' and Recipient(s) 'Nigeria'. Range from 1970-1985 (arms take time to manufacture and and deliver)

Burna boy reminds me of the truth and how unbiased the great Fela Anikulapo Kuti was during his life time....the dance routine, the attitude on stage and others...so on point....abeg make una no run Burnaboy race oooo....I love that performance, the energy and others.

Please go watch that video before joining the band wagon of critics....Now following burnaboy on twitter

In Lagos, ETISALAT rocks, the fastest so far as confirmed by a friend who has tested MTN,GLO and AIRTEL BIS services. but outside of Lagos, GLO download speed is unbeatable for now, MTN TOO STINGY.

I somehow doubt we can fathom the real reasons why CBN take this approach save for near guesses without real technical details. but hey, it is a free world

All posting in Favor please be more elaborate why this is a Good Move? anyone please

Hmmmm, as much i don't want to think there is a real reason besides the present value and credit rating of the US, maybe there is more to it than meet the eye.

That is a good move by the CBN and it won't surprised me when China finally emerged as the Super Power or Number one Economy because i have been anticipating this for long in line with what was written *YEARS AGO* .

This is the beginning of total freedom.

@fuqua, why not Zimbabwe Dollar?
