There can't be a ceremony without wicked acts from that evil religion. That is what it's on earth to do and they will fool some into believing it means peace . Peace only exist in places where they dont exist.

alBHAGDADI:
ISLAM AGAIN

What do you expect from peopl whose religion has ordered them to fight other religion until they all submit and worship allah alone.

Allah's Apostle (Muhammad) said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah'. And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally." Bukhari 8:387

Quran (8:39) - "And fight with them until there is no more fitna (disorder, unbelief) and religion is all for Allah"

Quran (9:29) - "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (CHRISTIANS), until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." "

Quran (9:123) - "O you who believe! fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness."

In a nutshell, three policy blunders destroyed the economy of the nation. And PMB was DIRECTLY responsible for all the three blunders. And, nope, the drop in oil price was not part of it.

1. Failing to unite the country; and provoking the Niger Delta uneccessarily

PMB, without any due consultations, terminated the survilence contract that had been handled by ND youths for years now. (By the way I heard that he had reawarded the contract to a notherner). As if that was not enough he cut down the budget for the armnesty programe and threatened to terminate the program altogether.

Of course this was after dividing the country into 97% and 5%. Mind you, sane people from around the world (and even here on NL) warned the govenment about its economic suscide mission. But they were too sturbborn and arrogant to listen to the voice of wisdom.

In fact they actually bombed ND with impunity, forgeting that there can never be prosperity where there is no peace. By the time the ND youths were done avenging whatever, the oil production had been virtually grounded. The country's major source of forex had just crumbled. And that was for several months.


2. Instigating massive capital flight and demolishing investors' confidence

Trump had 90% of his team up prior to his inaugration. But PMB took nearly six monrhs (AFTER his inaugration) to setup what can be termed Nigeria's worst cabinet since 1999. He even called them "noise makers" before their assembly. This delay in setting up the country's executive team made foreig direct investors to start looking elsewhere.

And by the time the presidency started demonizing and threathening everyone, the foreign investors started flying away in droves.Now add this to the fact that up till now this government does not have a seasoned economic team nor direction. This shows why official inflation rate got shoot up by more than 100% in a little over 1 year. (You certainly do not want to hear the unofficial rate).

3. Erratic approach to foreign exchange terms and other related policies.

First the govt. woke up one morning and decided that folks could no longer withdraw or deposite forex over the counter, thereby creating massive panic, confusion and more erossion of investor confidence. In fact many companies were blocked from accessing their funds in forex. But the govt. suddenly reversed this policy after creating nedless confusion. Talk of trial and error.

Later the case of needful devaluation (or free floating) of the Naira came up. But the presidency vowed that it would never happen thereby sending the remaining investors away.

Of course the govt. later shifted their position (after doing the damage) and claimed that they had adopted a free float system. But guess what? It's all a lie. Naira is still being pegged, though no longer at N199. However the investors are not fooled. So they are still not here.

Plus, when the import dependent economy could no longer be fueled with the scarce forex, the cost of production soared and so did the inflation, thereby crippling the production and GDP generally. Yet, all the while, interest rates remained high and wages were either slashed or owed.

And, mind you, while most manufacturers and importers could not access forex at reasonable rates and were therefore closing down their shops, some religious and connected folks were getting the stuff from the govt. at some obscene and insanely subsidized rates.

That's how we got here in a nutshell.

In conclusion...

Of course there is no way the previous govetnment (of seasoned technocrats) could have made any of the above three mistakes. And mind you those three mistakes are not actually distinct from each other. One simply led to the other until they translated to the vicious circle they are now. Unfortunately folks like you keep taking the night for the day.

So you are saying we wouldn't have been in recession with nigeria been a mono economy for close to 16years.While would we rely solely on oil as our export earning. You might be right with the policy directions this present govt have taken but you disagree from the fact that if we had diversified and have dollars earnings from other sources the drop in oil prices wouldnt affect us much and again. The value of naira now in the parallel market is not the true value of the naira in actual fact as there are a lot of artificial scarcity from those who want the status quo to remain. There was no response from you on why we still import refined Petrol,diesel and kerosene.If previous govt built a new refinery and revamped the new ones we would not need to import as such the forex demand from oil importers would stop and would be needed for only importing items essential items we need.Also prices at the petrol station would be very low. Just try to be truthful to youself and reflect on my points.

It's easier to talk than to actually back it up with action.
It's so easy to criticize when u are not in the direct scheme of things.
PMB,Fashola and this APC led government are finding this out the hard way.
It seems they where actually not prepared for governance.
Failure in every aspect including the corruption crusade.
Even simple issues of governance is a big headache.
*No power supply
*High unemployment rate
*Lose of jobs
*High criminal rate
*Poor economy and inflation on the raise
*No fuel
*Religious and political instability
*Ethnic instability
*No direction,etc.

The only thing they can boast off is Bokoharam,of which it's the weapons left behind by the previous administration that is been used to win the war.

I really want this government to succeed because that will lead to good national development but as it stands I don't see them having any cogent plan aside media persecution and propaganda on the corruption crusade.

I'm nonpartisan,but as it seems now,I guess I'm more of a wailer than a zombie!

Feel free to quote me out of context,I will not give u the pleasure of a dignified reponse.

Noóoooo. You don't get it. They were directly in charge of fixing cameroon's problems.
Atiku was who again? VP
Amaechi was who? Governor
El-rufai was who? Minister
Tambuwal was who? Speaker house of reps.

Abeg, tell me another story.

what do you know. just opened your mind and started thinking nonsense. we all know that there's no time but does that mean that you must get married under 20. can you even let your girl child marry at that age? but you come here and say nonsense.
the only reason I see fit to marry is when the girl is pregnant and the parents of those involved are willing to bind by marriage.
this is what happens when teenagers come to a public forum to say rubbish without thinking.
you think marriage is what you rush into and at the end you can't cope anymore, then you come here to complain to us. go to the family section and see what marriage is all about. for better for worse
