Did anyone ever sit down and ask a pertinent question why GEJ administration that proposed TSA never implement it? There must be a reason to bring up the idea and wait for such a long time for the implementation.. TSA was delayed because GEJ administration felt full implementation would cripple the banking sector which was right. Buhari administration should have implement it phase so as to avoid the shock presently faced by most banks.

Nigerian and sentiment are like bread and butter.. You can make your point without involving God. This is not the first time the disease happen and it was managed then and all the present administration has to follow the blue print of how it was managed then. To correct you Sir, it will happen again and only a prompt response will stop it from spreading and minimizing the damage.

mrvitalis:
There is nothing even God can do to bring tomatoes here. It has happened and we have to face it That's the truth
The minister is planning for the future wish is more important for us at this point
We have produced a vacin for it, that means it won't happen again
What else do u want

No Sir. This is not time to play the blame game or pointing fingers here or there. This government needs to wake up and pioritize responsibilities. Little gains recorded in agricultural sector in last administration is been lost to indecision of this administration and the minister is doing census on livestock as if that will reduce the price of tomato in the market. SmH for Mr Ogbeh

mrvitalis:
Mr Bruce the main problem with Nigeria has always been thinking of now and not about tomorrow that's was the reason ur party never saved and now we are here

Tomato ebola has come and we have developed a treatment for it for the next planting season ( u won't see that one in the news) , so there is nothing we can do now to manufacture tomatoes
Just manage Tin or people like u should establish greenhouse tomato farms

This man just think he is very smart, but avoids debate at every chance

No Sir.. The write up is all about NCS using 285 as exchange rate while the official exchange rate is still at 195 and not what GEJ will do or will not do. Our problem as Nigerian is living in the past. GEJ is long gone and we should focus on the present now. We should all call this administration to order when it goes south and not use GEJ this or that as an excuse for lack of direction and vision less economic policies. I'm yet to come to terms with what economic polices this present administration put in place and want to put in place that will propel this country to greater height because all i see now is one step forward and 40 backward. Even the little gains of GEJ administration has been lost due to lack of decision of this present administration.

Zico5:
I was thinking of the magic wand Gej would have thrown if he was still the president. Nigeria would have gone into abyss. Upon how much this government is trying to save this country by blocking all loopholes and irrelevant spending, things are still not taking shape. Gej and PDP really destroyed this country. This fact can only be seen by true democrats and not tyrants in our system

You don't have to insult people to drive home your point. I'm not a farmer but I know that agricultural section and almost major sectors in naija have been left unattended to for almost a year due to lack of budget implementation and the effect is increase in prices and goods and services. Most goods are demand and supply driven. If there is continuous increase in demand without equal or greater increase in supply, the price goes to the roof..











post=45964159]Some fools calling APC?? joke apart this has shown how myopic Nigerians are
How can u blame the cost of tomatoes on buhari?? Ok I praise him for how cheap onions are??
And Nigerians Are exaggerating the cost of tomatoes, even in Port Harcourt this are 200 so please stop lieing

Why don't the PDP governors construct green houses and plant tomatoes and solve this issue??

This is what u get when a people prefer opening bars to processing garri
When people prefer building hotels to greenhouses
When people prefer build estates than building factory to produce fruit concentrate

Nigerians una never see anything[/quote]

I have similar experience. I went to RCCG in Virginia and the pastor was asking for tithe the first day. I be like WTF.. I stop going and went to local church only to be surprise I over dressed, they only ask if you care for offering envelop before giving it to you and No tithe of first offering scam like naija ish. No special seat for anybody including the pastor and people freely walk up to you and greet you.. since then, I had joined the church...

Why go to Belarus for training? Can't remember when Belarus rank high in military strength in the world. Iran would have been a better option if we looking g for cheap training... Belarus should not have been an option

You are right but opening fire is not the answer to that either.. What happen to chasing the driver? Radioing the other officers along the route to stop the truck?. There is no justification for taking a life except such life pose a threat to other life..

saintdennis:
The true cause of this incident MIGHT not be told, I was walking past a police checkpoint in my area and personally witnessed a truck driver floor his gas pedal after pretending to obey the policeman's signal to park .

They both cocked their rifles but decided against opening fire on the vehicle (maybe cos they felt he wasn't really a security threat but probably had no/incomplete drivers license/car papers)

#justsaying...i haven't seen anyone with the right papers/licenses misbehaving @ a checkpoint b4

United state postal service issue American passport and that makes it easy and stress free cos postal service is everywhere even the remote part. That's a good development..

socialmediaman:
Seriously misplaced priority. They should focus on improving postal delivery services with technology, completing the postal/zip code system so that every house in Nigeria can be identified with a zip code, acquiring more delivery vans, improve their customer service delivery with exceptional call center executives and "always available" help centers, and also improving their tracking systems. They can fight the competition with private firms like Fedex, and become the no 1 choice of delivery for online ordering

This basic economic policy sound faulty to me. Increasing mimimum wage more than%100 without increase in production of goods and services will skyrocket the price of goods and services. The already increase PMS price has shown us prices of essential commodities should be increase gradually and not astronomically increase. I think government should increase minimum wage by %20 annually and same goes for price of PMS. If we keep unleashing this voodoo economic policy of our dear country, we will end up with 3 digit inflation and go down as fail country.. Zimbabwe comes to mind

Tire expired..lol.. I had been pulled over by cop times without numbers and none of them ever look or complain about my tire. The only place i get my tire check is while doing state inspection. We enjoy making things difficult for follow Nigerian.. Can somebody explain why police or FRSC always ask fir fire extinguisher while no other country ask cor such...

Time to start tomota import from USA. Naija is going to the breaking point...

Doing same thing over and over again and expecting different result is the height of insanity. Government does not have business in doing business. APC led administration should privatilize the downstream sector to make it attractive to private investors. Building rifenaries by government is a waste of time, money.

Na North bro.. Closer to BH boys Na...

brajy:
Am always careful bro !!! but whats ur reason?

What!!!!! Be careful bro..

brajy:
Currently in Kano state

Time zone diff. What part are you in naija?

brajy:
Lunch? I haven taken that 8hrs earlier

Nothing to trade insult about. Our world is a place of different people, ideas and ideology. I don't have to agree with your opinion but I should accept your right to say it.. Join me on lunch bro

brajy:
i must say i didn't expect u to say this! what a great sense of humor

You are right. It's my view.. Thanks for reminding me of that.. Cheers

brajy:
Thats your own view! but to me,it was well written

Why can't the writer be civil and not result to name calling of former president? After taking time to write an insightful article, he ruined it with name calling as if he's points would not be heard without insult.. We need a lot to learn in Nigeria.. Seriously...

I'm neither a wailer or Zombie. My point is simple. Make a balance analysis and not one side that you made. GEJ has lots of flaws and it's little bit early to rate Buhari but the state of the economy is nothing to write home about..

Seunboss:
Well,then give ur own "enlightened" analysis. If what i av written is wrong,then disprove it.
But as usual,wailers ain't got nothing to say. Just noise making here and there

Was hoping to see an enlightened, fact base comparison only to be highly disappointed to see a one sided, shallow and beer parlour analysis. Keep it up and you will win for yourself the most weakling man..

This is a sign of things to go from bad to worse. Buhari and his team needs to get it together and put strong econmic team in place. Nigeria is losing all the previous economic gains slowly and if nothing is done urgently, we will lose investors confident and goes Zimbabwe's way. Change does not have to kill everything before it start yielding dividends.. Buhari, please wake up

We keep doing the same thing and expecting different result. How do we expect developers to rent out there houses cheap when land is not readily available to them? Developers are into business of making money and before any visible improvement in our housing problem, government has to make land available to developers at cheapest rate and that will go a long way to reduce the cost of housing.

You miss the functions of Democratic government. Government world over does not have business in doing business. GEJ do not need to build refinery. All he needs to do is provide enabling environment for private sectors to drive.

dutchassenboy:
[size=16pt]Zombie Nigeria youths that praise a leader who made Nyesom Wike Minister of Education,built no refinery,provided no portable water,had no single corruption case brought before court because stealing was'nt corruption,left majority of the roads as deathtraps,bought Nigeria 19th century trains and could not bring power to exceed 5000MW after 6 years.
In the land of the blind,corrupt this is who they consider a role model and hero,yet you wonder why africans are viewed as monkeys.[/size]

I'm not a fan of Fayose or PDP but he has a point. Why borrow money to finance reccurrent expenditures?

On the railway. Some of those railway GEJ bought are better than the ones we use here in Chicago. I'm not a fan of GEJ but to expect bullet trains is to ask for too much of him.

trillville:
More Universities when graduates do not have jobs? Pls what railway are you talking about? I hope it is not the 1920's locomotives he purchased you are referring too.

I do agree with you but the government has to ups the safety measures on our roads. It takes more than knowing how to drive to be able to obtain CDL in America. Anybody drives trucks in Nigeria and that's the main reasons of accident. The government needs to put up strigents rules truck drivers must follow before they can obtain driver license to drive trucks. We need lots to learn in Naija

EdCure:
This is one reason why the country need a working pipeline network. Transporting fuel is now a matter of life and easy death.

Our governments need to take actions to show their respect and value for human life.

Only in a failed state will you have scores of people die daily from the easiest of all avoidable human errors while its politicians do nothing than strategise for the next election. They feed fat at the expense of the masses.

How is that possible. I'm in State and i will lile to know more about it. Pm me and we can do business

Clone2020:
Many people are making easy money from all this. If you are in the diaspora and you are smart, you can be making a return of at least 50% every single day if you know what you are doing. It's really sad what this country has turned into.

This do not sound good because our below average tech level will make us easy target and anonymous has demostrated time again they are capable of breaching even the most sophisticated cyber network in the world. Pray the news is not true.

He did made lot of senses but reduction on import duties will only worsen our economy. How would the government finance the budget when all forms of revenue is gone. Record time low in crude oil price, reduction in importation necessarily bring about reduce taxes.

blueseacats:
With all due respect, he is making a whole lot of sense .No matter what revenue you make from import, we are still at a loss.

Your argument is one sided. There is significant reduction in revenue generated from Import duties and you think that is a good idea? Record low in crude oil price means the government is low on revenue and decrease in import duties will signal recession.

clintwine:
It is not necessarily a bad development, its actually a good one and working
It means that Imports are almost halving, now we can look at increasing our exports and boosting our economy with locally made things
It is silly that we were importing toothpicks

we should be looking at 50% reduction in imports and 50% increase in exports
that way we would have a stronger economy and stop depleting the foreign reserves

now that we know the items are being diverted to Cotonou, the government should deploy more custom officers towards that border
and make sure that we get every revenue from legal items coming in from that end
every illegal item should be confiscated and sent to IDP camps and displaced people, then the rest auctioned to families with less than a certain household income

Change means that we have to adjust and make some scarifies for the betterment of our collective tomorrow, nobody said it will be easy
Let us start thinking of what we can export and sell,

Before someone says locally made items are sub-standard,
we said that about Chinese items many years ago, now see how strong they have grown and the quality of items they are producing

I guess you miss the part he said re-arresting them without charging him to court is impunity. As much i am in support of fighting corruption, such fight should be within and dictate of the rule of law.

FOLYKAZE:
There is no law that stops recently bailed person from been rearrested.

PMB played the wise card. He outsmarted powerful rogues
