The excitement is premature. The Naira strengthens not stabilizes. Let's see what happens in the coming weeks. We don't have light in my area for three weeks running and yet they brought their crazy bill.
Really annoying. Some people are feeding fat on others in this country - and these are the people that always hail this administration.

E be like say our presido has added weight o and is looking more refreshed whilst most Naijas are miserably hungry and loosing weight. Or am I seeing double?

Nne, I hope you have put up a similar structure in your native homeland - if you know what I mean.

Fighting corruption is okay but it can never replace good governance and sound economic policies. This is what eminent and knowledgeable Nigerians have been advising this administration. They are now even complaining about no money to fund the investigations. Telling us about missing billions of dollars and possibly recovering half as much ain't gonna help our economy. Good economic policies will.

Please pardon my ignorance . How do you devalue a currency? The Naira is already valued at #1= $400.
Is it not devalued. Economists please help me.

So who will now give APC a run for their money in the 2019 elections. One party state is a dictatorship. And I thought we are through with this type of leadership.
Oh Nigeriaaa.

Some people living in one forest in onitsha will soon flood this thread and spew thrash like Buhari is building the estate for himself

Have you ever visited Onitsha?
If you have, then you are being mischievous. If you haven't, try to visit the East and appreciate how hardworking people develop their communities without waiting on government to spoon feed them.

Well said prof.
But will the Tinubus and Oyeguns advise the Oga at the top? It is obvious that some people are getting richer and richer with the status quo ( the dollar millionaires ) and instead of thinking about and for the poor masses, they continue to deceitfully cry over PDP spilt milk .

All ye APC zombies why are you taking Panadol for PDP's headache if I may ask. 2019 is still far and I bet ya by then you'll see what PDP will become. I believe in PDP - for a vibrant opposition else the evils of a one party state will descend on Naija.

So Nigerians don't deserve to know the purpose of the visit. Or is this an accomplishment by itself - as some people would have us believe?

I can never support any corrupt practices by whomsoever.
My annoyance is that, up till now, no one is being queried about the 2016 budget that is corrupted. Why not let Nigerians know the people involved or are they beyond reproach? This is starting on a wrong note and if this is the sign of things to come, may God help us till 2019.

How again? By promulgating decrees to legalize the illegalities? Not again!

EFCC. Oh how I love this name. Handling ALL the economic, financial and related crimes all alone.
Please , the Oga on top , I am available to lend a helping hand if and when you are overwhelmed by the number of cases you are handling now and in the nearest future.
In other words, I am available for the EFCC job. Seriously.

One thing I can deduce from this is that even the Military is also disgusted with this administration.

Why didn't you go to meet them as well. Can you swear you didn't meet the Election Tribunal and the Appeal Tribunal judges?
Mind your language. Don't abuse the sanctity of the Supreme Court because you want to rule.
Selfish politician.

Indefinitely? OMG!
Who is in charge of this country for crying out loud.
It was just that during the last presidential election, we were presented with the devil and the deep blue sea. Some voted against the devil, others against the deep blue sea. Don't ask me who won. All I know is that we the electorate didn't have much of a choice.
See what the political parties foisted on us. I hope they are now happy. SMH and crying for my country.

Please what is reasonable felony? I no go school abeg. Is it the same thing as coup d'etat?

fitzmayowa:
I begin to wonder the kind of corruption we are fighting in this country, when the budget that's suppose to carter for nigerians is riddled with corruption all over, i wonder what the almighty EFCC and DSS are doing about this glaring case of corruption...


In a sane country heads would have started rolling...SMH

And the APC zombies and their ogas will always say "Provide evidence of corruption "
Now here's a clear evidence of corrupt practice provided by non other than a whole minister of Health and the EFCC et al seem to be unaware and are not bothered. This can never happen in most countries.
Maybe APC's corruption is permitted because they are in power. Reminds me of the epic novel : ANIMAL FARM.

I will believe it when I see it in operation.

Please where are the IBBs. We need salvation.

Please don't start any war that cannot be prosecuted holistically - blindfolded ( as in the insignia for justice) . Fighting corruption with one eye open is not fair and just. How can a common man produce evidence? Let the EFCC, ICPC, SSS etc beam their searchlight with the same intensity on all past politicians and not just on the opposition. After all it is not we the commoners that produce the evidence they are using to hound PDP members. If they need evidence they know how and where to get them. Most APC big wigs are also corrupt. Period.

Exponental:
meaning.... she was a smart thief.

Same with the APC campaign financiers. You know them.

With all humility Sir, if you didn't know why you came in to rule now, ask APC that chose you as its presidential candidate and the millions of Nigerians that voted for you.
You are supposed to be tough and when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. Abi?

If this man is a bona fide Nigerian, he should sue president Jonathan through his legal advisers with all the necessary evidence for prosecution. If he can't do that, he should stop disgracing himself.
As it is, either he has nothing better to do or he is a paid piper. If however it is because of frustration, he should direct his anger to the government in power.

So what ! Arrest former president Jonathan and let us hear word. I hate all these media trials.

I'd rather I and mine be addicted to smartphones than to alcohol, s*x or drugs. It is the least ' evil ' of all the common addictions. Of course porn sites and game betting are no go areas.

After calling Jonathan a Buffon, I was expecting to hear something like Economic Nincompoop. There is a big difference between analyzing a situation and using an insulting name on a former president of a country - by a foreign media.
What a ' balanced ' follow up.

Mr Economist , you should have sang Buhari's praises which you were paid for without mentioning Jonathan.
Earn your pay and stop betraying your masters by blaming Jonathan - as they usually do. Or what else do you aim to achieve by this hate write up if not for the big pat on the back.

If this administration has bought any military equipment since assuming office the whole world would have heard about it.
So I am inclined to believe GEJ.
Abi na lie Oga Lai Mohamed?

Again?

UrennaNkoli:
How are you expecting them to smile or be happy when the injudicious and perfunctory attitude of the Jonathan led administration has brought them into this mess. If they were living a better life, a life of freedom, a life free of dread, a life that doesn't require them being dumped in an IDP camp, then their marriage would have been a whole lot better. The despair on that lady's face will continue to haunt her tormentors forever.

I take it that you are being sarcastic. If not, you don't know anything. You won't hear it from me that this practice ( child marriage) has been going on since Islam came to Nigeria .

Me, I have not abandoned him and will not abandon him.
Why? He is unlucky to be in the wrong camp and, of course , he didn't loot smart. There are Nigerians that are 1000 times more corrupt and looted so much more but are walking around as saints and untouchables. I just pity him.
