ask any youth/aged person dieing in poverty in bayelsa why they cant vote gej out they will simply tell you " he is our son and brother " I wonder what kind of mentality is that really.

Not only FAAN but other govt entities.

The number one on my list should be the NNPC and all their rubish subsidiaries and ventures.

This is a company that neither explores, drills or markets crude.

All sectors within the production chain be it up or downstream are contracted to private foriegn companies.

The NNPC just have staff sitting in their offices passing files, going on foriegn courses up to PHD on govt expense, and doing local tours for the DTA.

They are a monumental waste.

That is the doing of your APC masters Buhari inclusive who are stoking the embers of war to discredit this administration.

Ask any ignoramus Almajiri graduate turn Mai Gorro why he will vote Buhari he will tell you the same thing.

At least a GEJ in office will not send security forces to pillage an oil community like OBJ, Abacha did in the Niger Delta.

this is the only Answer he could give to Nigerians concerning the most controversial issue surrounding his party?

Sincere9gerian:

In this time and age, govt should not be building refineries. The private sector can do that at zero cost to public treasury and in fact, better manage it. All that is needed for the private sector to do that is the right govt policy. The public funds that would have been wasted on refineries should be used in areas such as health and education. Govt has no business in business. The ones already built by govt was a big mistake and that explains why they're dysfunctional today.

That some fools even boast of building refineries with public funds and use it for campaigns shows how clueless and foolish such individuals are,

Meanwhile, Dangote is already building a Mega refinery. Many more private companies should follow suit. That is the way to go. That is the future.

You're right on the money!! The government should, instead, support the creation of more indigenous oil companies.

Nigerian economy has never been better. Nigeria still remains the preferred destination for direct investments in Africa.

Nigeria accounted for over 70% of direct foreign investment into Africa inspite of the security situation.

That goes to show you that the Otuoke clueless shoeless drunkard and his magician finance minster are doing something rightl.

oh , am actually talking about an educated fellow wailing in poverty in the Niger delta not an iliitereate really .... obj , abacha were not fans of buhari so why liken buhari to them . infact obj that you just said was once a godfather to GEJ and his mercy was being solicited for GEJ to win .... what do you call that ? cant you see you all are real slaves .

[size=18pt]Nigeria leader in foriegn investment in Africa[/size]

Nigeria High Commissioner to Singapore, H.E Nonye Rajis-Okpara has said that the country will continue to remain the leading destination for investment in Africa.

She said that Nigeria was ranked first for two of the last three years and a top three destination last year in Africa, in terms of quantum of foreign direct investments (FDI).

The High Commissioner made the remarks yesterday in her speech at the Singapore Management University(SMU).

She observed that in the last three years, the nation has received a net FDI of over $21 billion.

“The Wall Street Journal’s Frontier Market Sentiment Index which surveys blue chip companies in the US and EU regarding investment interest, ranked Nigeria as the number one country of interest globally”, she said.

Okpara said the present administration is also focused on job creation and recalled that on September10, 2014, President

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, inaugurated the first ever Jobs Creation Board (JCB) to be chaired by the Vice President with the mandate to create 3 million jobs in 12 months.

She said that in the last decade, there has been a shift in the dynamics of how Nigeria does business globally. Her words: “We have seen our nation move from a nation that primarily does business with the western world, to one which is more eastward-facing. “This is proven by the fact that Nigeria’s biggest trading partners presently are mostly Asian countries such as India and China”.

Okpara said that in addition, the nation has maintained an unprecedented level of fiscal discipline.

“We have maintained single digit inflation rates of 7.9% as at April 2014, a figure not seen in over 20 years in the country. In addition, we have maintained a debt to GDP ratio lower than 15%, with the ratio currently standing at 12.5%.

“Our fiscal rating has been upgraded and our stock market index grew by 47% in 2013. Economic growth is being driven by trade, manufacturing and agricultural industries.

“Currently, we have our strongest macroeconomic environment in decades”, he said. The High Commissioner observed that the nation is restructuring her economy by diversifying her sources of revenue.

She said no nation has ever moved from poor to rich status without building a strong manufacturing sector.

“For many decades, we relied on the export of crude oil and raw materials, but under President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda, we are taking a new dimension.

“Industry contributes 26% to our National GDP and manufacturing has grown in the 1st and 2nd quarter of 2014 at 10% and 9% respectively. This growth is fuelled by the formulation and implementation of the Nigerian Industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP), a game changer in the advancement of industrialization in Nigeria.

“The NIRP is a revolutionary programme to industrialize Nigeria. It is Nigeria’s first comprehensive, integrated, and strategic roadmap to industrialization. NIRP is focused on economic and revenue diversification on sectors where Nigeria has comparative advantages. The NIRP is underpinned by 7 key enablers for Industrialization”, she said.

Like I said, you guys have no idea what goes on in this country. What has GEJ not done to solve the problem of electricity or you think that going against the powers that be is an easy feat to achieve.

The first time he made a move against them by removing the fuel subsidy through which the looted billions of naira, didn't people like you support them by unclothing yourself and dancing around carrying your papas coffin on the head claiming it is GEJ while dancing to terry g akpako performance in the name of protest, after that clear support you showed for those people, you want him to still go against them knowing that people like you will still support them.

The epileptic power problem in Nigeria is a gold mine to some very powerful people both of which are in the ruling party and in the opposition and if you think they will allow Nigeria have 247 power supply and close down their gold mine, then you are on journey of no return. Even in the USA, Obama can not do anything he likes, he can't go against the powers that be in his country, the man JFK that tried it, how did he end up? Do you wonder why America is involved in every war on planet earth? go figure that out.

If you think that been President is all that is required to turn Nigeria around, then you are very very mistaken. Have you ever asked yourself why is that whenever there is a major event in Nigeria which people would like to watch there wont be power supply?

The Chance to fix Nigeria for better was mixed in 1967 after the north throwed the aburi accord away since it won't favor their corrupt elites, since then corruption has been grown, nurtured and right now it is one of the foundations of Nigeria and you can't pull it out easily without scattering this country.

It has become a daily part of us whether we like it or not. We breath in corruption and breath it out and it didn't start under GEJ, you can't get anything done in Nigeria today without greasing someones hand. Is no longer a matter of choice, it is a MUST.

You pay to get admission for your kids into the university even though they passed both jamb and aptitude test.

Students write exams and merit an A score but the lecturer won't give it to them until they greases his palm or open their legs for him.

You go to the police to report a crime and they will request for money before the follow it up.

You go to your LGA to request for a document which is supposed to be free yet you are asked to bribe one official or the other.

You decide to travel outside Nigeria, at the airport you will keep greasing the palms of one officer to the other even though your documents are complete or else they will delay you for one frivolous reason or the other until you miss your flight.

The only solution to END all this nonsense is not by voting in apc or voting out pdp. the status quo will still remain regardless of who is in power. Nigerians need to drop tribalism, over zealous religion and take to the street in a form of revolution. Sack all the current politicians from A-Z, hausa, igbo, youroba, e.t.c and then develop a new people orientated constitution without intervention from foreign interests, then we can start talking about the Nigeria of our dreams but can we do that?

NO, because these same people holding over 170 million Nigerians hostage using tribalism and religion will still whip up tribal and religious sentiments and we will end up killing each other while they continue their looting.

Do you know why people support GEJ? reason is in the last 40 to 50years, Goodluck Jonathan has been the best amongst many that has emerged as Nigeria's President. Can you list down past presidents that has achieved more than what GEJ has achieved within the last 4years as President of Nigeria.

Stop lying.

The local market is subsidized already and the retail price has been steady at 97 naira.

Does he want to continue subsidizing pump prices to stimulate growth?

How will he continue paying for subsidies where crude prices are crashing?

some comments about peeps saying Buhari didn't Oh, and the alleged attack on his entourage by BH? Very funny. Staged drama. But then the Nigerian political class stages many things all the time so ppl can be confused and theorize.
Think twice people.

But since the northern elites have chosen to employ violence in order to make GEJ look incompetent, well, what can I say but shake my head when ppl say stuff like, "this govt has failed, they can't contain BH.". ..

Gowon did not borrow a kwobo for 30 months of the civil war.

Hopefully with PENGASSAN going on a 3 day strike to protest the non passage of PIB, this NASS will pass the bill in no distant future and NNPC will be unbundled and also privatised

you guys don't know half of what is happening, do you know that armoured tanks, with impregnable surface and missile detectors have been bought and delivered about 3 weeks ago?.....and more are on the way?

BackDatAssUp:


PENGASAN like ASUU and NLC national executives are corrupt and the strike has more political undertones to it.

The PIB is an executive bill that originated from this administration. It's non passage is a legislative issue and not an FG policy wahala.

They ought to picket the National Assembly if they are honest about the PIB passage and not strike.

The APC hands are all over this to discredit this govt more with an industrial strike before the elections.

BackDatAssUp:


Allow me to give you another example in order to show how privatization is a good thing.

Before the granting of private commercial liscence in the aviation sector, the main player was Nigerian Airways. Today we have several airlines employing thousands.

If you had been flying before the opening of MM2 private terminal, you will understand how FAAN management saw airport terminals no different than bus terminals. Today MM2 is privately managed an has created jobs as well.

The best thing is to privatize and concentrate on governance.

FAAN is about to be cocessioned to a private firm. Expect to see many young Nigerians getting employment.
