Alhaji Kari has always been known to be the next in line as he was the most senior person right after fola Daniel. So it's not surprising he was named the new commissioner for insurance . It's not a northern thing atall cos everyone in the industry knew he was the right hand man to fola Daniel. I know this fact because I presently work in the insurance industry

Interesting. Good 'spin'. Like a spinning wheel, spin until you get a better response to the obvious.

Demdem:
ur opinion and i dont buy it. i am not expecting a miraculous sudden change but i am certain that the era of the cursed past especially that of Jonah-daft can never be repeated again. that is my consolation and i choose to dwell on that.

Interesting. The hate(bitterness) is eating you that you rarely seen the truth in-front of you. Hate(bitterness) is a disease.
It will do you good heal.
Chiaka gave you a good reply.

sokunji:
Really..I don't want to be disrespectful and call u a big fat liar, but what you said is far from the truth.. the confab consisted of equall number of people from the region. .and then representatives from all over the country and outside. .it had representative of people in diaspora, the police force, human right activist and so many others. .those representatives of various groups were selected irrespective of their tribe or region.

mtscheeew. .pls look for another lie to defend your refusal to support a confab report that is important to our unity and growth as a nation.

They never wanted confab to be successful.

True.
We are aware of the GEJ administration's achievements and projects he initiated. We hope PMB administration will do theirs for a better tomorrow.

Peace is essential. Millions of people who live in the part of the country have suffered for years.
Integrity of media has weaned. There are PDP and APC sided reports, all to make profit.
So we wait for confirmation.

Interesting. The 'treasure' blessed of them in the ground,among others, finance the road you ply on, the electric light(though occasional) you use, the salaries of your parents which they used to feed you and pay your fees.

You tell yourself, "i'm mature".

Sassybae:

Not all guys. Some guys appreciate simple-dressed lady.

zleemshaddy:

@Op, i appreciate ladies who take good care of themselves and dress modestly. Its about quality. Beauty with brains.

CNBC is a dumb group of fools

Saying Oby was VP of African Region and not world bank shows how dumb they are.

Is African Region a company on its own?

For crying out loud, there are a number of VPs in world bank with different departments.

Oby was world bank VP (African Region)
Otteh is World bank VP (Treasury)

I mean...what is so hard to understand?

Fooools

Interesting spin.
World bank VP(Treasury) supersede World bank VP(African region).

Madam Oby messed up, you also.

Congratulations Ma. A leader. You deserve it. We appreciate your efficiency when you were at NSE.
Thanks a lot NOI. A lady with dignity.

barcanista:
Since his March 28 electoral victory, President Buhari has been credited with some statements that are so unworthy of his office as the President of Nigeria. The latest of them is the President's determination to limit his probe to Jonathan's administration only. Add to this, Presidential Spokesman Femi Adesina insulted our sensibilities by these words...

“If you recall, that was already settled before he got inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past,”
“The far past will includes Obasanjo and others. But the president has said he will not waste time to go that far.”

In addition to the above statement, the Spokesman also said...
"He can’t afford to go too deep into the past or else it will be destructive for his administration." https://www.nairaland.com/2471364/buhari-probe-jonathans-govt-only

1. The "Far Past" Exclusion:

There was no time during the electioneering or transition period that Buhari made any statement like excluding "far past" administrations. What is "far past"? This obviously is a new creation aimed at protecting certain persons.

Let us do a recall that before the election, APC Chairman John Oyegun was quoted to have said..
“It is clear that from the Buhari’s perspective and that of the APC, the future of the people of this country is too important for us to spend valuable time trying to dig into the past...”

Oyegun further made clarification that the "past" is pre-2015 (not pre-2010) when he said

“And we are going to go into a situation, post May 2015, where the law will normally take its course. There will be a line drawn on the sand; on one part is the past, the other side is the future."
www.punchng.com/news/only-corrupt-nigerians-oppose-buhari-says-apc/

We also recall that Buhari himself on March 11, 2015 in a campaign rally in Kaduna state made it clear that he will only probe post-May 29, 2015 corruption cases.
www.newtelegraphonline.com/i-wont-probe-former-leaders-says-buhari/
www.thenationonlineng.net/buhari-i-wont-probe-past-govts/

There was no talk of "far past" at any time.

2. Obasanjo, Atiku, IBB etc And The "Far Past"

Isn't this laughable? If Buhari had changed his mind from his earlier position, isn't it sane that he probes former administrations especially from the IBB regime? If he insist on probing democratic administrations, then why not start from May 29, 1999? Nigerians will like to know what happened to the billions recovered from Abacha. We will like to bring those indicted in the PTDF scandal to Justice (Obasanjo, Atiku and co). We will like to know what happened to the N2.3trillion the Obasanjo allegedly spent on power. We will like to bring to justice the Haliburton "thieves" among others.

Is Buhari now trying to protect Obasanjo, who happens to be his military benefactor in 1977 and his navigator to the March 28 electoral triumph? Is he trying excluding the Abacha regime because he was part of it? Is he protecting Yar'adua administration because he was his kinsman and certain officers of that government contributed to bring him to power?
Why is Buhari making nonsense of leadership?

3. Going Too Deep Is "Destructive"?

What is destructive in bringing officers of past administrations that has looted our common wealth to justice? Is he trying to say that he can't probe his benefactors (Abacha and Obasanjo), his kinsman (Yar'adua) and his Northern military comrade (IBB), but will only probe Jonathan's administration because he neither benefitted from Jonathan nor is he a kinsman to Jonathan?

Finally, I want to reiterate that I am not against the probe of Jonathan's administration(PDP and Jonathan also share this sentiment). However, it amounts to injustice, unpatriotism and "unstatesmanlike" for the President to come up with a new "jargon" such as "far past" in his bid to shield his benefactors from probe. I to appeal to patriotic Nigerians to call on President Buhari to tow the path of sanity, fairness and statesmanship in leadership.


May God Bless Us All.

Awesome.
God enrich and keep you.

StOla:
Do you admit now that Jonathan was an irresponsible president?

Why are you debating about regimes that Jonathan already approved of their actions and records he took over?

Some people forget easily.
GEJ 'chose no to' probe past administrations.

With all due respect Mr. President, who dine with you?

Until those are done, it looks like lip service.

*Yawns*

Nairaland is not a secure forum. Usernames can be traced.
To topic, he may not get a prison time. Court case may or will be held behind closed doors.

IbnSultaan:
Sunday Vanguard gathered that the officers, who had suffered stagnation for years and promoted by Ita are mostly those who put their lives on the line for the nation and were engaged in deadly operations.

“Among them were those that took part in joint operations with the military and police personnel in Operation Zaman Lafiya (war against Boko Haram), those who were engaged in special security operations in the Presidential Villa and other special duties in several trouble spots in the country”, a source said.

This section of the report says a lot about what the new DSS did with support of the President.

icemann:
The budget was calculated at $60 for oil but currently oil is trading at $ 57 a barrel. It's going to get lower than $57 when Iran sanctions are lifted. It is estimated that oil would drop to around $40 to $45 range by end of this year when Iran's oil hit the market. So by the end of the year i estimate 300 to a $1. SO CONVERT YOUR SAVING TO DOLLARS. Exchange rate has never gone down so you will not lose money.

Look at it this way, imagine an individual earning 100K and later it drops to 60k(40% drop). First the savings gets spent(excess crude account). Cuts would be made on luxury items like Friday night Moet (private jet). Next siblings and girl friend allowance( fuel subsidy) and the list goes on till equilibrium is reached.

Less earnings means less Dollars in circulation(since Nigeria mooches off the govt earnings). So the demand for dollars is high aka high exchange rate. Its more complex than what i explained but its gives you an idea.

To cushion that effect CBN would raise interest rates to around 20% to 30%. This is to cushion inflation and attract foreign bonds

Alternative approach which is riskier is to print money like the US did in 2008. Not a good advice but if it clicks Nigeria would survive this recession.

It is very risky to increase interest rates as you suggested, due to its effect on loans and liquidity of the bank institutions. Banks don't want much liabilities, as such, decline on some loan requests.
Manufacturers and importers will feel the pinch, the end consumers will feel their pockets. Vacations will be expensive, leading to increase in tourist sites around the country because of the exchange rate.

Awesome! Bless marriage

histemple:
Absolutely on point. One of the major causes of our problems is the misplaced aggression to emulate the western culture. The nascent gender equality drive has subjected us to unfounded mendacious sentiments and has virtually made almost all our women to become feminists. And most of us are trying so hard to live an European life in Africa.
Every society operate based on their value system and cultural inclination. For instance, western countries encourage single mothers and so they are indirectly increasing the number of bastards and marriage breakups. In Africa, a woman is more dignified and respected by the society based on her ability to build an enviable home. In Africa, a respectful woman has more power and influence over a man and can get anything she wants.
To justify my point, a true african woman will appreciate this advice from a mother but it's a complete trash to a Western lady.
My fellow women, we must be truly African to live peacefully and happily in Africa as trying to be Western in Africa will result to increased frustration.
Woman submit and respect your husband and the Man should love his Wife.

Thank you.

SuperMaq:
He should mention the civilized nations that negotiate with terrorists. Buhari cannot be talking about negotiations now when he promised to rout them within a few days. He accused Jonathan of not doing anything. These guys deceived a lot of Nigerians but some of us knew what they stood/stand for. They stand for the Abuja declaration of 1989, period. Anything else is just deceit! But God is bigger than them all.

You remember history of it. Thank you.

HungerBAD:
I have to copy and paste this from an earlier reply, to somebody that asked the same question.

And contrary to your beliefs or what you think you know. All Western Countries engage in negotiation with terrorists, but they do it through a third party country. For exampe, all negotiations between between IRAN and the United States is handled by a THIRD PARTY country Switzerland.

PFC Bowe Bergdahl, was a US Army held captive by the Taliban. His release was negotiated by Qatar. A little schooling or reading about INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS will broaden your horizon on how DEVELOPED Government works, and not the fire approach applied by past Presidents of Nigeria.

Buhari is on the RIGHT PATH.

Lol
You are 'funny'. I don't mean in a good way. Its not a compliment.
In Columbia, the FARC rebels fight for a reason(check for yourself); in Nigeria, ND militants fight for a reason. There are groups(rebels or not) in the world who have their reasons to fight. BH fight for an Islamization of Nigeria, same as ISIS in North Africa and Middle East, Al Queda, Al Shabbab, and also other related groups in Southeast Asia.

Its good to know and differentiate issues before you write.

In order words, Federal(State inclusive) primary and secondary schools tuition fees will increase to pay staffs in each of the schools. Interesting.

In2systemsTech:
I love the fact that she came out with figures....


We are still waiting for the following figures

1. Figures of the virtually empty treasury
2. Figures of the public declaration of assets.

Virtually empty indeed. Btwn 23rd of June & 30th of June (1week) his administration has drawn N716.342bn + $21mil + N6.5m for to Bundu shooting victims. Plans to borrow N240bn this third quarter! What happened to the $1.6bn NLNG FET Tax that came into FA on the 22nd of June 2015?

There are many political chess boards with many players, but few players(with one goal) play on all the boards.
Like 'someone' said during GEJ administraton, the economy is moving too fast.

Interesting. If true, Hamidu Ali that Abacha sent to pour Acid on the body of former Ogoni leader ken Sarowiwa.

Some Nigerian men are principled and live by values. They(men) are stubborn or proud. Marriage is for a lifetime on earth. If your wish is to marry a Nigerian, you will. In one of your posts, you wrote about been "stubborn". Well, Nigerian women can be so also. You've got values and principles you live by, maintain them. Some men(Nigerian inclusive) appreciate such quality in women and will marry them.

dustmalik:
GEJ's administration deliberately sabotaged those refineries. Here is an extract from Daily Independent publication yesterday:

Give thanks to who deserves it.
Do you know someone(staff) at those refineries?
Do you know someone(or staff) in the past Administration to confirm your posts?
From your posts, you neither work there nor know anyone who can inform you dates when the required documentation was done and maintainance(upgrade) of the facilities.

My advice: easy with the lies.

Amanwulu1:
d sp n speaker are apc dat u ppl celebrated their electn, or did u not? D governos n exs are apc whom u dudes also ranted abt how better they were to pdp govs. Now pdp suported their aspiratn n dat has added o d rottennes of d pdp while apc has turned gud intentioned who is ignorant of how to put intention to reality. Let me tell u what I fnk of d trash above. It's geared towards presenting tinubu to buhari as being hated for being a champion of anti corruption crusade which is rubish cos tinubu is an overload in buhari's struggle wit corruptn. His fight shud start wit tinubu corrupt practices in lagos state.

thank you

Interesting.
There are salt and good spices in this 'spin' to be true. When tight network of individuals do deals, its secret. Their aides or PAs would not know. No amount of incentive from 'media' can convince aides/PAs (if they knew) to inform the 'media' about it, if it ever occured.

bushdoc9919:
All right....calm down.....Bushdoc is here.

1.Who was responsible for the law...

From the report..



So, it was an Igbo woman who was responsible for the law....hehe

But before you accuse me of joining the tribalist crew....let's consider a few definitions here...



So....you see what the law does is to MAKE PUNISHMENTS TIGHTER FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE CARNAL KNOWLEDGE OF PREADOLESCENT KIDS.

In short the LAW does not

[size=18pt]1.SAY THAT 11 YEARS IS THE LEGAL AGE TO HAVE SEX IN NIGERIA.

2.SAY THAT THE OLD LAWS GOVERNING UNDERAGE SEX HAVE BEEN ARBORGATED. WHAT THE LAW DOES IS MAKE IT MUCH HARDER FOR ANYONE WHO WOULD S...UALLY ASSAULT A UNDER 11 YEAR OLD.In other words....don't molest an underaged lass/boy...and if the lass is below 11...your own don finish.[/size]


So,can we all stop panicking....and grow up!

The AGE of legal consent in Nigeria is STLL....18 YEARS OF AGE.

And mods...please change the title of this topic....Seun, Lalastica....do some changing please. Thank you.

Thank you. MODs please, change the title.

omenka:
I urge all well meaning progressives not to comment on any of these threads henceforth. Those who imagine the best way forward is to churn out one lie after another against the president should be left to have their good time on their threads. Just ignore when you see them.

Thanks.

Interesting. I'm neither a TAN supporter nor yours also. When you initiate a game(with unwritten rules), do so and win. Like chess, you don't 'play' ignorant, that's a wrong move.

godofwar666:
I get no prob with the Nigeria Electricity, cause me and my family has been generating how light with Solar panel, since 2008

Though expensive, but better option. With good quality panels and equipment, it lasts for at least decade(s) with maintenance.

This amount is extreme. These 'security' payments are extreme and uncalled for. You were the Chairman, but kept quiet. Now you are no longer Chairman, its time to talk. Interesting.
