Yes we are here to solve problems. Problems are headline news for u but I think d balance is also to show that not all of d road is bad. Because d focus is on d bad part but u owe Nigerians whose taxes we use...
~Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Works & Housing
to also show them that some work is going on bcos it's not all of Nigeria's roads that are unmotorable. On d Benin-Warri road for example, many sections of it are motorable. It's a part that has caved in & collapsed and that is where d pain is.And that is what we will respond to.

Making the crooked past straight
So, d Nigerian government through NNPC in 1993 signed offshore Production Sharing Contract (PSCs) with 6 oil companies. The contract stipulates that under d JV, profit sharing formula will be reviewed once prices of oil rise above $20 per barrel.
Since 1998, the prices of oil has gone far above the $20. It even reached $120 or more at some point in between 2013-2014. Some people ran this country from 1998. They knew the country should get more money but chose to look the other way, apparently, in cahoots with the IOCs.

The Parasite Called Benin Republic
On many occasions,I have been to the Republic of Benin. The largest market in Benin Republic (Dantokpa in Cotonou) is not up to Gbagi Market in Ibadan. All you see in the Market are foreign products. The country manufactures virtually nothing.
It is a dumping ground for any foreign good.
I was surprised,1day, whn I discovered that they import ordinary pure water from Nigeria. More than 90% of their finished petroleum products are imported illegally from Nigeria. This poses a huge loss & sabotage to d Nigerian economy.

APC GOVERNORS WHO DO NOT PAY SALARIES AND PENSIONS WILL NOT BE GIVEN OUR PARTY TICKET FOR SECOND TERM
~ Adams Oshiomole
"In the immediate past governorship elections, we lost Bauchi due to non-payment of salaries and pensions by the outgoing governor of the states".
"We lost Imo due to politics of selfish interests and attempt to create self political dynasty by the outgoing governor of the state".
"We lost Benue due to some selfish big wigs in Benue APC frustrating governor Ortom's govt, which made Ortom to defect from our party".

Ignore d fake results PDP confusionists are peddling. This is how d race is standing:
North-West: APC is taking all d 7 states with big margin.
North-East: APC is winning 5 of 6 states wt good margin.
North-Central: APC wins in Niger, Kwara,Nassarawa. Lost in Benue and Plateau
even though it did well in those two states. Kogi is also APC. PDP takes FCT. Overall, APC takes the north-central 4:3
South-East: PDP wins all d 5 states with big margin. Good showing in Ebonyi for d APC

If I am to advise Atiku, I will simply tell him to embark on period of deep sober reflection and retrospection after losing on Feb 16.
I mingle and work with a lot of people from Adamawa, but I am yet to hear anyone amongst them speak glowingly about the man!
What will it profit a politician, to gain a portion of the SE, but completely lose his constituency?
Yesterday, I watched d fever pitch reception PMB received in Adamawa/Taraba, & d open endorsement by d Lamido, of whom Atiku is like d second in council by virtue of being Waziri

But even b4 d announcement, we all knew we were into it. A module of garri cost N350(now N150). A pack of 4 Eva bathn soap was sold for N750(now N600). A tube of family size toothpaste was N350(now N260). D effect was telling..it ws bitn but it ws never d fault of d govt of d day

General Buhari was appointed Executive Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund. In my practice as a consultant, PTF was d most efficient and corruption free executive body ever involved in d restoration of public infrastructure. The PTF appointed Supervising Projects Master Consultants.
Through them, consultants were selected for each of d PTF projects by nomination based on d ascertained competence&staffing of d firm of consultants to be awarded a project. Within a short time,d PTF under GMB gained a reputation 4 rapid restoration of roads&other infrastructures

Please nobody should abuse my late father here o, I didn't come to your page to comment: All this sudden noise and write up to show that "Buhari was playing politics"......
When did it become a crime for politicians to play politics?
Will it be wrong to develop our roads, infrastructure, free education, return oil blocks to d State instead of individuals?
What is this noise all about?
GEJ was voted for by d SW in 2011,d same SW voted for Buhari in 2015,what is all this noise all about d SW going for Buhari?

Between Buhari & Atiku: An Interrogation.
Yoruba people have a saying, "Eni maa da aso fun ni, ti orun re la nwo". It means you shd take a careful look at d dress worn by d person promising to clothe you.
Atiku Abubakar of d PDP has promised to be a better president than Buhari
He hs promised jobs, restructuring,a national government&generally to make Nigeria work again. These are good promises but shd we not ask ourselves if he's indeed capable of delivering on those wonderful promises? Who is Atiku? Wht are his antecedents? These are salient questions

THE ISSUES ARE CLEAR!
a. In 1999, OBJ met naira at 88 to 1 dollar, but left it at abt 130 to 1 dollar;
b. In 2007, naira exchanged to d dollar for 130, but GEJ left it at 235;
c. PMB met it at 235, and in 3 years it is now 360!
Now, let us calculate d percentage devaluation:
A. OBJ: 130- 88= 42.
42÷ 88×100= 48% , naira lost value by about 50% under the Obj administration in eight years !
B. GEJ
235- 130= 105÷130 ×100= 81%
Naira lost value by 81%
C. PMB
360-235= 125
125 ÷ 235× 100
= 53%
The naira has lost value by 53% in about 3yrs under PMB!
