Caught in the act

He is only trying to do what they do best, deny he said it, we dont need him to say it we know it already.

They will lie and lie against themselves

We love him cos of the Comic Relief he daily gives us freely

Phame:
We still love Lai despite the comment.

I think the minister gave an excellent summation of the present economic situation. For news media to extract one sentence and go for overkill is simply mischievous and crappy.

Bevista:
TBH, I am now convinced beyond reasonable doubt that Nigeria's problems is beyond leadership, but a societal one. Are we just intellectually deficient or chronically prejudiced.

This was an interview where the Minister was specifically asked about the exchange rate situation. He tried to explain the factors that influence the rate making reference to oil price. He simply said the SITUATION (exchange rate) was beyond the president since he does not control oil price. He never said the ECONOMY was beyond the President’s control as misrepresented by the media.

How the media gets away with such mischief is beyond me. Worse still is the fact that 80% of readers do not even notice this distortion of facts. These are people that will later assume leadership positions. With such shallowness among citizens, the future is even more uncertain.

My brother don't worry ursef! Only wailers and ipobians see it d way dey like!

walex2:
. You are the one that lack simple understanding of English Language. The free fall of naira was due to reduction in foreign earnings through oil price and this is beyond the control of Nigeria government. Pls criticise with sense cos you are not better off

If the free fall of the naira is beyond the government's control then Nigeria is doomed.........

No competent government will allow the value of their currency to go on a free fall beyond their control.

A liar is a liar no matter how he pretends

donofdons:
This govt is a big disappointment to nigerians.......GEJ did more for us in the north than all other northern presidents combined so i womder how we where decieved to vote this clueless people....gej is the best thing that ever happened to nigeria and africa since the creation of the world

attention seeking ipobian spotted..

Most Nigerians can't read and understand English.. What a shame. The media sucks.

Lai Mohammed is right. People should learn to read and understand not the other way round.

Na wa!

Alhaji LIE Mohammed is not only a prolific LIAR, he is also a Changeing chameleon.
At this rate, if the man says Good morning, one has to look outside to verify.

Has this change the situation of the country?

Which comment. You believe in mischief. Newsapers distorting facts.

Only a wilful dolt would actually read report and still think Lai Mohammed is wrong. The editors who reported the story earlier yesterday obviously distorted the report for whatever reason.

Good morning sir. How was your night. Looks like you had a few nightmares.

It is disheartening that a particular expression that is a part of a whole is being deliberately twisted and isolated from the whole just to make it take a different meaning and thereby ridicule the individual. The economy being out of control of a sitting government that is only10 month old is preposterous, of course all the gleeful commentators above know that is basically the truth but that does not mean the government will not rein in the economy as soon as possible. We are all in this together if what some people want to engage in is to run this government down, I will let them know that the only gain they'll reap is to remain stagnant whilst the country moves forward. They'll be too preoccupied with their negativity to notice when the country would have left them behind to wallow in their warped prejudices.

Please, the Exchange Rate is a reflection of the what?
The media should be given kudos for deducing the real relationship that people like you can't.
Don't mar many gullible here with Owo (dull-being) oozing out from your thinking through your finger...

Lai Mohammed will soon deny that he is Lie Mohammed.

Wonders shall never end...even the most vulnerables are among the Zombies... Spits

See them,na them

I have always said it that most of the current journalists are silly, mischievous and corrupt! Thisday newspaper harbours some of them. If not mischief, what Lai Mohammed said was clear and straightforward. Why twisting a simple explanation. And sad enough, Obiora Ilo repeated the mischief on his program on AIT this afternoon. They are all PDP sympathisers, but they are miserable and silly!!

Most of us are educated (to read and comprehend as we want) but not that enlightened.

Seems ure d one with deficient intellect,why on earth will a govt. accept that anything is beyond its control?
If PMB cannot control d exchange rate why then is he pegging it?
D exchange rate is a fundamental part of d economy,govt. policies seek to stabilize,increase or decrease it depending on d motive.
If PMB's policy cannot control d exchange rate is it Iya Basira's policy dat will increase d value of d naira?
I supported PMB's campaign and even spent my personal money to ensure he wins,but lets call a spade a spade.

APC and their lies .


So the free fall of our Naira is beyond their control, yet they keep making several policy somersaults over the same Naira for the past nine months.

Just read Audu Ogbe promising to Stabilize the price of rice come April.
The same Ogbe will soon deny making the same comments.

PentiumPro:
It's seem the teaching of English comprehension in our school is no longer in existence.
The youths of these days are more intrested in insulting government officials than in understanding what the officials are saying.

Look who is talking! Smh

the only difference between "pen is" and "penice" is the space.
you have the right to believe whatever you want, but you have no right to impose on me what I should express.
kudos Lai, some of us can see through their lies.
wetin pain me pass on dis matter be sey, Thisday even wan defend am sey dem right, if the media can treat us like this, how do we expect the young ones to pass their jamb utme and ssce excellently.

And some goats even rushed to comment without reading...Thisday newspaper is really useless. So because efcc has nabbed bafarawa and obaigbena, they decided to constitute nuisance spreading falsehoods and lies.

Any sane person that reads the excerpts knows Lai Mohammed NEVER such such trash..so wailing goats shld go jump in the lagoon!

You're gona do a lot of this. Did you at anytime use these words. "stealing is not corruption" ?

We all knew what GEJ said but it was twisted and used against him. Even Mohammed used it against him.

So, it comes around. The economy challenge is beyond buhari... Lai Mohammed

The situation we find ourselves is really pathetic. The first line in that statement giving credit to the government for surviving the situation clearly nulifies the claim he said "the economy is beyond PMB's control"

The current crop of youths is a bunch of wasted generation.

ShowYourCertificate:
And what makes you so confident that the SITUATION he meant was just that of the exchange rate? It seems you also inherited the lying gift from Lai the Lier.

Read the excerpt again. Lai mentioned the SITUATION that's affecting the free fall of the naira. He talked about balance of trade, export/import, fall in crude price. All these are the SITUATION leading to the free fall of the naira and the poor economy. And he said this is beyond the President's control. The SITUATION here is a totality of the forces affecting the economy not just an aspect of it as you claim.

So you see, you lied just like Lai. And you didn't even lie well. You should have said SITUATION meant fall in crude price rather than exchange rate. How can you say the exchange rate is beyond the control of the president? That means you're suggesting he's incompetent in boosting the value of the naira. Well, I agree with you on that.

Don't mind that one, he's only being mischievous. Lie Mohammed said so many things of which the economy was his major talk point. Afterwards, he made that statement which simply means that he was indeed referring to the economy..

He could not have meant it in the context at which the newspaper or Sen. Ben brought out.
I think what was working against him was the same seed he has sown.He should expect many more.

No matter how much you
wail, Buhari is Apc god, he's above mistake, he's the
best thing after jollof rice and the best president the
world has ever seen. You people have become so
blind to the new wave of progress and development
in the country. Since Buhari came into power, we
have been enjoying 92 hours of electricity everyday in my
area, fuel is now 45 naira per litre, prices of
goods have crashed by 50%, Boko Haram have been
technically defeated, the Chibok girls have been
found, unemployed graduates now collect 5000 naira
monthly, school children now take fried rice and chicken in
school and investors are now trooping in everyday, what
else do you people want?

he promised 300k for every passing out youth corps member, 500k jobs every year etc. we need it ASAP.
