The Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Dr. Adeyemi Dipeolu, stated this in a statement while reacting to the Gross Domestic Product figures for the 2016 second quarter by the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS.


Dipeolu noted that the report, while confirming a temporary decline, has also indicated what he called hopeful expectation in the country’s economic trajectory, stressing that there were clear indications that the second half of the year will be better.

“Besides the growth recorded in the agriculture and solid mineral sectors, the Nigerian economy in response to the policies of the Buhari presidency is also doing better than what the IMF had estimated with clear indications that the second half of the year would be even much better,” he said.

The presidential aide assured that the current administration would continue to work diligently on the economy and engage all stakeholders to ensure that beneficial policy initiatives were actively pursued and the dividends delivered to the Nigerian people.

Quoting the recently released data from the NBS as showing a decline in GDP by -2.06% in the second quarter of 2016 on a year-on-year basis, he attributed the outcome to a sharp contraction in the oil sector due to huge losses of crude oil production as a result of vandalisation and sabotage.

With respect to your office, you are a funny individual.

Op, you are right.

Interesting spin.

Spin doctors.

Based on the present situation in Nigeria, which of these will pay more - Masters in Engineering or Professional Certification (PMP, PRINCE2, NEBOSH etc.

As an experienced Engineer which of the aforementioned will you advice me to go for.

Professional Certification in Engineering

The gloom in those pictures is perceptible from a mile away, and even more so from the comments of the Ugandan Cankerworms.

Let them go ahead with the useless event, Boko Sheriff will have his in Abuja and the cycle of litigation would start all over again. And so shall the evil behemoth be bogged by cases after cases after cases until the final death knell sounds on her inglorious existence.

There is a principle: you shall reap what you sow.
There will always be harvest for all you say, type(incite) and do. It is not limited by time.

Interesting.

With all due respect sir, INEC don't recognize primaries it did not monitor(or supervise). The electorate who vote on the election day, would vote an individual, Mr. Ize-iyamu.
On the election day, in the ballot paper, it is Mr. Ize-iyamu's name(PDP) which is there among other candidates.

Odd stage name. A fun name would be better.
From the pics there, may be "laughing gas" may be ok.

Thank you Rev'd. Samson Olasupo Adeniyi Ayokunle, the new National President of the Christian Association of Nigeria

Then, it was stealing is not corruption

Now, budget padding is not an offence.

It is very unfortunate.

Though painful, the sooner we know that this government is out to drastically reduce importation, the better for us all.

We must patronise locally made goods, simple and short.

Abusing Buhari or Government will not stop that fact.

Interesting post.
Made-in-Nigeria products are produced by imported items.

It would be good for you and others have a rethink.

A large quantity of necessary parts was just delayed by a corporation because of just increased import duty.

Interesting.

When government such as this speak, we know it is 'political talk'.
If its 5000 across all the states, it may be possible. But if it is for each state, then it's not feasible in almost all the states in the country.

Individuals who build their properties are not among the the 'political number' said.

It is unfortunate, this minister made such an infeasible statement.

Though he has tribal behaviour, interesting quote from Alhaji Mohammed, the caps lock especially:

He said: “As far as I am concerned, President Buhari and Lai Mohammed are paying lip service to the economy by telling Nigerians they have a policy. Today, I cannot see anything and several Nigerians cannot see any policy in place.
So, why should Nigerians support this so called policy that they do not know and why should they believe Buhari and Lai Mohammed?
“They talk about diversifying the economy but I can tell you that the same fertilizer I bought for N4,000 last year is now N9,000 this year. If this is what they call diversification, THEN THEY ARE TALKING NONSENCE . When there is no insecticide and no better harvest, what are they diversifying the economy to.
“I am NOT PERSUADED BY THAT LIE by Lai Mohammed."

Statements from other speakers are an indictment on this administration so far.

Though Nigeria communication and network system are easily penetrated, most time security network is laughable. But, six laptops?

Do the recipients know there are sophisticated chips when embedded can serve are copying, gps and listening devices?

Government agencies as sensitive as EFCC, among others should source for electronic devices(laptops) stealthily.

Beremx:
So the astronomical increase in the price of kerosene and artificial scarcity was done intentionally by the government to see if there would be reactions from Nigerians? Same game was played out to increase the price of fuel.


I am very disappointed!

Disappointed? Interesting coming from you. They intentionally made it scare, leading to arbitrary price increase, then, later gave an official price.

Beremx:
They should as well tell us how much they intend to sell 12.kg of gas since they also intentionally increased the price.

Ndi ara!

As regards cooking gas, it may now be around #4000. It seems that what they are doing. Now the cost of aviation fuel has increased though unofficially. It will soon be official, which means airline tickets may be close to 45% increase.

'Interesting' government.

LETTER TO SENSELESS CHRISTIANS Part 2
-By exMuslim Ishaku Abdul'rahman Mohammed

Dear Nigerian Christian,
If you saw my first letter you would have known that I used to be a Muslim but now a Christian. I have been in hiding because, anyone born a Muslim and converts to Christianity has a death sentence on his head. It is even worse now that they know I have decided to reveal their hidden agenda to the Nigerian Christian who stupidly voted Buhari, a known jihadist as president.
In that letter I told you about the subtle ways president Buhari is going about his islamization agenda. In this part I will explain, with Islamic teachings why our president is making some of his moves without caring about the feelings and sensibilities of Christians in Nigeria.
So much has happened since my last letter and God willing, I will continue to educate you as things unfold. Please pray for me cause the forces of darkness are arrayed against me for telling the truth. And if you ever hear that I get killed don't weep for me. Just know I have finished my race and am with the Lord Jesus. The same Jesus I rejected all my life as Muslim. The same Jesus I called a prophet of Allah who is a little lower that the false prophet Mohammed. To Jesus alone be all the praise, glory and honor for saving me from the satanic cult called Islam. I now worship this same Jesus and will do so till is expire.
Have you noticed that whenever any Christian, occupying a high position in any government agency is removed only muslims get to replace him or her?
200 military officers were retired recently and guess what? They were either southerners or Northern Christians. As far as the northern Muslim is concerned, if you are a southerner you are a Christian. And being a Christian means you are the worst creatures of Allah. Now you may ask, why is that important?
By 1914, the ottomans of turkey began a propaganda that presented the Armenian Christians as a security threat. So what did they do? In 1915 they retired all Christians from the Turkish army. Once they Christians were disarmed they started killing the Christians. This is how turkey became almost one hundred percent Muslim country. For those who do not know. Remember the seven letters to the seven churches of revelations 1-3? All those churches were located in today's turkey. Islam has wiped out Christianity from turkey. This was the exact model that Hitler used in Germany to wipe out six million Jews.
I want to advice Niger delta never to disarm. There is what we call in Islam, the treaty of hudaibiya. This is the peace agreement that their prophet, Mohammed had with the meccans. the peace treaty was to last for ten years but Mohammed, seeing that the meccans had relaxed, launched a military campaign two years into the peace treaty and that was how Mecca fell to Islam. This was Yar A'dua's plan when he gave the militants amnesty. Had he lived longer the amnesty would have been stopped. Buhari actually thought that the militants had fully disarmed hence he stopped the amnesty. I guess Jonathan, by the leading of the Lord empowered them even more militarily before he left. Mohammed said, war is deception.
In my last letter I told you about the useful idiots. The GMD of NNPC Mr Kachikwu was just relieved of his position and guess who replaced him? Another Muslim. Now they have started instituting corruption charges against him. One down more to go. Soon Amaechi will go too. Almost every Christian is out of government. All the military chiefs are muslims. Custom, immigration etc are all headed by muslims now. Yet my fellow senseless Christians still cannot see what is happening. Did you know that the new IG of police is also a Muslim? Do you know how many senior officers were retired just to pave the way for the new IG? Guess the first thing he did? Accused the former IG of stealing 24 police vehicles. Thank God that alarm was proven false but they never give up. They must find some frivolous charges against him. Just wait and see.
Again, during the elections you would have been familiar with the grandest deception called the #bringbackourgirls led by a Christian Mrs Oby Ezekwesili in collaboration with other Northern women. Do you know that the female principal of the chibok girls college has now been appointed to the position of commissioner of education in Borno state? Since when do secondary school principals get appointed as the commissioner of education in a state where you have university and polytechnic lecturers, VCs and Rectors? Madam Oby's Muslim Vice was first appointed as chief of staff by El Rufai of kaduna state and guess what happened next? Buhari just appointed her MD of NPA. What did the useful idiot Christian. Oby get? Nothing. Where are the so called missing girls? Still at large but they used it to deceive you to voting out a Christian president.
Talking about a Christian president. Do you know that in Islam it is forbidden for a Christian to hold a position of authority over muslims? Since they could not deny the achievements of our christian president Dr Goodluck Jonathan they spun a huge propaganda around corruption. He was vilified as the most corrupt president Nigeria ever had. The press had a field day reporting monumental corruption under Jonathan. They knew the only way they could get the attention of the Nigerian is to mention corruption and we all fell for the deception hook, line and sinker. I will be naive to say there was no corruption under GEJ. No government in the world can claim to be corruption free. Yet it was made to look like Jonathan had stolen the wealth of the nation and crippled the economy. Buhari made huge promises that got people ecstatic. He was seen as the Messiah. Nigerians refused to see the economic growth under GEJ. Even when Nigeria was rated as the 3rd and 1st fastest growing economy in the world and Africa no one paid any heed to it. Nigeria became the no 1 investment destination in Africa yet it seemed like it was all fairy tale. Today, just one year after GEJ we are no longer in the list of growing economies of the world. The effects are everywhere. The Nigerian economy is almost grounding to a halt. And guess what? They have now spun another propaganda that what we are experiencing now is the effect of the misrule of GEJ. Again, Christians are buying this crap and swallowing it like a hot plate of delicious food. Eight months into the Buhari regime, the bureau of national statistics release a report that over 4.5 million Nigerians have lost their jobs under Buhari. Time will fail me to expatiate.
Have you noticed how Christians and muslims are treated when it comes to corruption cases? They go to the media to convict people of corruption and when they eventually take them to court and the court gives a verdict they don't like the disobey the court order. Mr Fani Kayode was in detention for over sixty days. You were told that it was because of corruption. How many muslims have been so treated? As far as I know. Only Dasuki is getting that treatment but again that is understandable. It was Dasuki, then a very junior officer that arrested Buhari during the babangida coup that overthrew Buhari in 1983. Muslims don't forgive. The god of Islam requires muslims to take vengeance unlike our God that says vengeance is mine.
The most unfortunate part of this is that we Christians use our values to judge muslims yet we know absolutely nothing about their values. We don't know anything about the tenets of that religion. Mohammed was a very vengeful person. He killed all those who made fun of him. Even those who criticized him. That is why Buhari cannot stand criticism.
We have seen in the news how innocent Christian women were killed by muslims and our dear president has been silent. Whole communities are being wiped out by Muslim Fulani herdsmen yet no word from your president. The latest is that farmers will now pay for protection while Buhari is now going to use the military to protect Fulani herdsmen and their cows. Buhari is now protecting murderers against innocent Citizens of the country yet you still can't see anything wrong? Do you know what they have just introduced? It is called the jizya. Jizya happens to be the Islamic protection tax payable by Christians and Jews so they don't get killed. Muslims don't pay jizya. It may not make sense to you now but soon you will be told to pay protection tax. They may call it whatever but it is the jizya. And since only Christian communities will be attacked only Christians will have to pay.
Am going to stop here and update you as things unfold.
Yours in Christ
Abdul'rahman Mohammed

Importation would be expensive. Cost of production would increase, its effect on retail cost would increase also.

Some companies(multinationals) with foreign investors would have increase dividend yield.

Those whom the policy should help, of the first above, rather it now jolly for foreign investors.

Policies should be for the benefit of its citizens not just for foreigners.
Unfortunate.

You had plethora funds for embarking on fruitless and trifling tourisms but lack sufficient funds to finance the budget? Where is the 4.3+trn funds recovered from looters? where is the fund that was supposed to be used in financing fuel subsidy? where is the 3.2trn fund that Buhari vaunted of being in the TSA? where is the revenue sourced from the exportation of crude oil and internally generated revenue?.

Thank you.

Love Machine:
If a new political party defeated pmb and takes over power from apc come 2019,it should probe buhari and his government from 1984 to 1985.And 2015 to 2019.Including apc control states.This is because PMB has been shielding his kinsmen and political associates whose hands are stink of corruption.

I had to quote you. Your post was spot on.

Another party which wins the general election may out of anger(vengeance) go after those in this administration. People then, may be in full support.

It is very unfortunate.

This administration has set a precedent. All involved, no matter who, cannot scream of witch-hunt or victimization when they are been chased after by EFCC, ICPC, DSS, among others when another party is in government.

Interesting, imagine the scene where their daughters debate about an ongoing case or something that happened in the house.

Sir, ma'am, case close.

Sir, ma'am, with God's grace you raised lionesses. God is with you.

That is a tablet charger and not suitable for many phones. That 5.2v is too much for most smartphones. Yes it will charge ur phone faster because it is 2.0A but ur phone might not respond properly to touch while charging and this might have a lasting effect on ur battery. I have a galaxy note 4 charger rated at 5.3v 2.1A. Whenever I use it on htc one m7 or other phones the screen doesn't respond well to touch while charging. U can touch the recent button and it will launch the camera. It also does this with my Innjoo tablet. Although on some phones like the s6 it works perfectly.

In a nutshell, it is not the voltage that determines the rate of charge, it is the ampere ur device is able to draw. In this case the charger is maxed at 2 amps which is fast for most devices. But if ur device is rated at say 1.5 amps, then ur device will regulate the amp to 1.5 amps and not the whole 2 amps.

Interesting
As regards you comment on the guy's Lenovo A5000, that charger came with the phone. The manufacturer knows the battery can handle the charger's capacity. When plugged and its charging, the screen touch is as good as when unplugged.

Interesting, though not surprised of your post. When a Judge's rule is not what 'you' want, you think he is compromised.
Good reasoning is important.

HungerBAD:
The National Judicial Council,should look into this Judge as I think he has been compromised.

Did the Senator just use the word Vindicated and the Senate in the same sentence?

As reportedly clarified plenty of times ,the Senate is not on trial,but some very adventurous people keep trying to make it seem so.

I have a proposition to the Senate.

Give us Saraki and that Ekwe whatever his name is,and we will leave the Senate alone.

Deal?

Your post has disgust and anger written all over it. Your post(choice of words), among others shows a petty immature individual who amongst others, cannot handle an incident not in your favour; more like a tyrant.
Maturity is important.

Ratello:
This revelation will only compound Saraki's (the noble rogue) case and even make the executive to go brutal on him. If this is not madness of the deepest dye what else can we call it. If Salisu Buhari, Evans Enwerem, Chuba Okadigbo, Patricia Etteh can kiss the National Assembly good bye despite committing lesser crimes than this worthless fetish Saraki......so what is this miserable judge judging? I can bet anything that Buhari may be forced to go for the jugular of this desperate spoilt brat in the coming weeks.

****

They said it is land set aside for "Sights and services" scheme and some **** here are talking about grazing. What concerns sights and services with grazing? To make matters even worse, Jonathan initiated that scheme and it covers every state of the federation. Other states are utilising the lands for that purpose (accommodation and recreation) and Anambra state revoked theirs. But since it is coming from the land of the "untouchables" ****the fg should simply fold her hands and watch them do as they please.

Why didn't they object to it when the ineffectual buffoon was mapping out the land for that purpose??

People just keep coming here to show shat ignorant fools they are everyday- simple "sights and services" dem no sabi. Smh.

Interesting

I'm not surprised by your post, always half truth(...conveys only part of the truth,
especially one used deliberately in order to mislead someone).

"Sight and services" implies: accommodation and recreation.
You wrote, "Other states are utilising the lands for that purpose (accommodation and recreation)." What development is the hectare of land used for now?
If you are in the state you would have known.

To inform people, be objective; don't deliberately mislead people.
