He deliberately refrained from mentioning that the Supreme Court at that time declared Obj's SOE declarations as illegal. Man is clever by half.

Why is the Youth Minister following the President's son around on a private visit?

PigTormentor:
Idiotic rubbish talk.
And this fool calls himself a lawyer? He might as well call himself a partisan politician.

This is so shallow IQ that you wonder how such a slowpoke can be called the president of a Bar Association.
The Supreme Court in any country is the supreme interpreter of local, state, and federal laws in any country.
So if a local court sentenced someone to prison, is this fool saying that such a person cannot approach the higher federal court for appeals?

Hmmmmmmm

Very accurate!

Babangidapikin:
Don't they have legal adviser at NNPCL to understand a single clause can create challenges...I shall hope NNPCL letting go is not an after thought.

Have you thought about this new development being the original plan? Never underestimate corrupt minds.

Shaking my head. This already tells us all we need to know about this government. They are all in positions to serve their benefactor, not the nation. It's not surprising though.

Most likely you are the one thinking she's into you, she's not. Even if a lady is into you, shouldn't you as a man have some boundaries that must not be crossed? Whether a lady is into me or not, there's no way I'm tolerating something like this. The contact will be in the bin already.

Hmmmmm the principle of separation of powers and checks and balances in the mud. The earlier we accept that there's only one arm of government presently and not three, the better for us.

There are other government agencies and parastatals like this too, at both state and federal level. No single productivity or revenue, yet salaries are being paid.

Yaradua should have allowed the sale of the refineries to stand.

His biggest mistake

As usual, round pegs in square holes. Every decision is arrived at with some dishonest gains in view.

Same army shot an innocent boy in Kaduna

No military has ever defeated its own citizens during an uprising.
Nigerian Army shouldn't push the citizens of Nigeria to the wall

Tafawa Belewa and Toro has the most quiet and gentle people in Bauchi State, Tafawa Belewa is made up over 92% christians I wonder why the military would kill them, instead of arresting them since they ain't with any weapons.

They don't even have power to arrest anyone, according to the constitution. Military is for external aggression, not internal unrests, but this is what abuse of purpose does.

I thought no more fuel scarcity once subsidy is gone. Isn't that what some people who have outsourced their thinking said when their master removed subsidy? How many scarcity have we had now since May 29 last year? Scarcity is beginning to look like a monthly thing now. Okay.

As usual, leave the main issues and start talking about irrelevant things. It's evident in most of the comments already. The man raised serious issues but see the comment section filled with rubbish talks. "Tinubu is trying his best", when your children go to school and bring back bad results, pat them on the back and tell them they tried their best. Nonsense. "Critics only know how to talk, the man should go and sit down", I think you are just not capable of intellectual discourse if that's all you have to say about the article. Ad hominem everywhere.

This thing has been politicized. Each region is now clamouring for a development commission in order to have more opportunities to squander the nation's resources. What are they developing? Why are we duplicating government functions? The NDDC was the first, what have they developed in the Niger Delta till now? Rather than all these development commissions, why not adopt a regional system of government? After all, each region now wants to have a development commission.

It is well. Thunderstorms cause fuel scarcity They don't even add intelligence to their lies.

Number 1 and 3 never for me

Shadomaan7:
PDPs corruption runs deep and their failures have proven them to be a finished party, deserving of being behind bars.

You'd put a party behind bars lol

Another brouhaha loading. ASUU remains the only union with balls in Nigeria today though.

Beans a proteinous food? Never! That's one of the wrong things we were taught in primary and secondary school anyways.

To the main issue though, for how long do we want to keep going for substitutes? That's the problem with us in this country. Rather than confront the issue and find solution to it, we keep suggesting alternatives. What will we do when the alternatives also become scarce or unaffordable? No wonder our oppressors keep waxing stronger.

Blessedarethepe:
Civil servants working in these agencies are suffering can't you you see for yourself

Granted that they are suffering, the question now is, are they actually suffering because the agencies are not funded enough by government or because there are some "ogas at the top" who are siphoning the money meant for the agencies? For your information, I know some of the civil servants in these agencies.

Blessedarethepe:
it is 7% of revenue generated that is given to them to finance their operations. While the 93% goes to Federation account for your politicians to steal.
If these agencies are not well maintained I can't predict the woes that will befall Nigeria.
Do you realise the impact of smuggling in the country at all?
Do you know how much customs pay for maintenance for its effective performance?

I understand your point, and I am well aware of the percentage of money they take as running cost. However, the percentage increase of their collection cost is rising faster than the percentage increase of their gross revenue. Let us not pretend as if we don't know what happens in most government agencies in this country.

The only problem, I think, is their cost of collection rising to over 400 percent while gross revenue is just above 200 percent. That means they are spending more money than they are making. That is bad business. Dig into it now, and you will realise that corruption is at the very root of that anomaly.

Mariangeles:
Well, with the way they're scaring people into not eating, just know that starvation will kill a person before eating does.

Lol. I don't think they are scaring people to not eat, rather they are advocating for people to eat right. Many of us are so used to junks already that we think we are being barred from eating if we are told not to eat those things for their side effects.

Eagleways:
you are not entirely right

I agree.

Educative. In the world of today, most people consume their sicknesses in food. You become what you eat.

emorse:
Thanks bro. When we said it earlier, some people said it was because we wanted "cheap fuel". Tell me how a low income nation is supposed to develop her manufacturing capacity if the cost of production is sky high and cheaper alternatives can be imported. Yet they expect that by going after bureau de change, exchange rate will magically drop.

Our people are just too gullible. They don't think deeply before taking sides.

Was subsidy the real problem? No, never. Corruption has always been the issue, corruption in the whole subsidy thing. Who throws the baby away with the bath water? Who stops feeding his or her child just because some petty thieves are stealing from the child? Rather than address the headache, the FG cut off the whole head, while a number of ignorant Nigerians cheered on.

This people should start walking their talks, not just talking all the time with nothing to show for it.

Governance is a continuum, but not in Nigeria. There's no continuity. That's why we are where we are today. Politicians will abandon projects initiated by predecessors just to score cheap political points. Yet, tax payers' money is being wasted.

Vision101:
The governors are because they have more money to spend and nobody is monitoring them.

Hmmmm you're correct though. This is true

Phew! Could it be that the government is then enjoying this weak naira?
