EmoBoy: Nigerians will always criticise what they don't understand. There is something called credit enhancement in infrastructure finance. Most foreign investors won't invest in naija because of the risks involved. For example the market risk - The electricity tariffs were too low but the government increased them. Also, Nigerians don't like to pay for anything, so the government promised them they'll repay any shortfall in revenues as a result of the market risk. Its even better here because the money will be repaid to the govt by the companies after they start making a profit in the long run. So let's not criticize what we don't understand. I fully agree with you that we dont & neither do you except you are a beneficiary. Pls recall that we had Aviation Bail out by this same govt of which Jimoh Ibrahim collected over =N=30billion for Air Nigeria, went back to the office and immediately closed the company down on the most ridiculous excuse of disloyalty of staff. Has he been held able?? NO! Was there not a Textile bail out fund?? Was there not a Banking Bailout fund? How did it benefit you the bank customer? Increase in Savings interest? or Access to low interest loans. Trillions spent on Railway and it still takes 30 hours from lagos to Kano This govt deserves not to be trusted as all they have done have been scams. Period!!!! 1 Like |

Honestly, i am extremely worried with our Security apparatus in this country. Only a few days before this Chad trip, the DSS woman came on National TV absolving the former COAS of sponsoring Boko Haram but categorically stated that Sheriff is under their investigation & we went to bed believing that he would be under surveilance and his movements restricted but alas, we were just bn fooled. 2ndly, if DSS were doing tracking him and the same DSS were also in possession of GEJ's itinery, should they not have alerted GEJ's Aide de Camp or did the advance team on ground not see Sheriff lining up on the tarmac before GEJ disembarked? At that point they wld have radioed the plane to get clarifications before GEJ stepped out and the Chadian President through his own ADC wld hv bn told that his visitor is uncomfortable wt Sheriff bn there. Sheriff will politely have needed the toilet 3rdly, what does it matter that Sheriff is the Chadian President bosom friend, what if he meant GEJ harm? Is this the type of old wives' tale Presidency will be giving us? Presidency should learn to it their blunders and move on and ensure it doesnt repeat itself And after having said all, GEJ has a lot to be blamed for this. He can insist to the Chadian President that Sheriff be excused, but rated, he was smiling like a Chesire Cat ![]() 17 Likes 5 Shares |

Whilst people say PDP and APC are 2 sides of the same coin and therefore no difference, what worries me is the inability of Nigerians to accept the pathetically poor govts we have at all levels. We the people should be the main opposition through respective pressure groups like NLC; NBA; NMA; NANS; NUTRW etc but unfortunately, govt at al levels have used money to decimate all these groups. Whichever one of us who agrees that any govt has done well is totally devoid of any standard in his/her life. The basic needs of any human being has not been given thorough policy consideration by any govt and i quote any govt. I know people are quick to reel out the perceived achievements of GEJ but my response is at what cost. You spend 1000% on what you require 10% to provide and you are applauded. His decision making lacks any form of depth and he is applauded ![]() Coming down to the so called Performing Govs, i have used a particular road in a prominent area for 16 years and the road is destructive and yet, we hail them. The bottomline is we are our own Natural disaster & until each of us, me inclusive make a demand on our leaders to do the right thing, there will be no country to lead in the nearest future. So, what should we do? Go to your local govt office and demand to know why services you pay tax for are not bn supplied. By the time they receive repeated visit from us regurlary, they will wake up 4 Likes |

filiks: Who should i blame? Me that paid thousands of naira for a plastic card and undelivered service? If you cant manage and suceed in what you dont have any competitor, then you are a failure. The relative success of the swift obtaining of number plates is largely due to the efficiency of Lagos State govt agency that produces the number plates for FRSC as they see it not only as a service but as a business. Pls; pls; pls, there is no excuse for failure on the drivers' license matter. The main bottleneck has been the data capture but for crying out loud, the British High Commision and USA embassy do over 1,000 data capture each a day, so its not rocket science. And please, what goes into producing plastic cards that would cost each applicant thousands of naira ![]() |

cocoduck: Okay, lets leave all that alone but in sincerity, how would you have handled this Abduction menace if you were in charge or are you one of those who believe its a ruse? or was it the foreign media that made a whole Brig General lie that Nigeria Army had rescued the girls on National TV when that was outright falsehood and misrepresentation? |

cocoduck: Go and check her record in OBJ's cabinet when she was in Due Process; Ministry of Solid Minerals and Ministry of Education. The facts speak for themselves. Dont also forget that she was the one that demanded from Lamido Sanusi & Ngozi Iweala to explain how Billions of $ disappeared from Excess Crude whcih led to NOI saying it was shared by states and Rotimi Ameachi countering that he as gov never consented to the sharing. Okupe tried to rattle her by casting aspersions on her budgets as Ministers and she challenged all of them to an open TV debate to scrutinize her spending in govt. Of course govt backed down becos they had nothing on her and thats why they are still running helter skelter to scuttle #Bringbackourgirls as they cant pin anything on her. She no be chop i chop woman o! She no need govt money o...she no poor when she enter govt o |

Guyman02: Spot on: Many of us who have followed the CIA inspired Arab Spring protests and the most recent one in Ukraine for 'Regime Changes' in the middle east knew that the Chibok protests were not genuine and had foreign interference and interests. The all important question is, did you have the level of first hand information you have now about Chibok; Borno and Boko Haram devastation before Foreign media came to expose it? 2ndly, a few months before then, some secondary school boys were slaughthered in their dormitory and others abducted. Has our govt sought to recover them ![]() In all your conspiracy theories from the comfort of your location, are you aware that there are Nigerian children in refugee camps for over 1 year in border towns with Nigeria who have been displaced by Boko Haram? We only knew this because SkyNews went to the Camerounian side to report from there because i suspect that they are no longer granted access to Borno State, they showed Borno from across the Cameroun border in that footage. The shock there is that Nigerian children displaced for over 1 year have never been reported about nor givien any aid by Nigerian or Borno govt and these children were seen on TV starting their day in school singing the Camerounian Anthem but a lot of you dont care as long as the conspiracy theories suit you. Shame. Talking about oil, Nigeria does not mean anything to USA in of Oil. USA started reducing their oil purchase from Nigeria over time as they had a plan in place unlike we that just squander ours and right now, USA shall become an Exporter of Oil and you are ranting about Lake Chad Basin. Nigeria is in the top 10 of GAS reserves in the world but we would rather use NIMASA to squeeze NLNG who had to eventually declare Force Majuere 3 Likes |

chronique: We shouldn't be too quick in countering her statement without putting her reasoning to test. What if the DSS planted moles amongst the "bringbackourgirls" protesters there,to find out what's going on there? Let's not forget we're talking about the spokesperson for our secret service here;they probably must have done a few checks,to know what's going on. This is Nigeria where just about anything is possible. You do not need a mole to know what #Bringbackourgirls is all about. All their activities are open for all to see and participate. Read through their twitter handle and you would understand their mindset and i can tell you categorically that every single KOBO donated to and spent by #Bringbackourgirls is detailed to the last kobo and can be accessed if you ask for it. Oby Ezekwesili does not give a hoot to all your accusations by FG, this woman has been like this since i first met her in 1992...it is not in her DNA to thief anybody's money. She is one of the most principled Nigerians you can ever come across. As for Madam Ogar, her seating posture on TV yesterday at the press conference says it all. 1 Like |

Ngwakwe: It's appalling to read about Lagos State Government evading responsibility using legal loopholes thereby running the most secretive type of government ever known in the history of this fourth republic.

simpleseyi: Yes, the Lagos state government is very right, Lagosians do not need to know how the government is run. [/b]Lagosians do not need to know how much Tinubu gets from the IGR monthly and how much Fashola and other looters pocket monthly just the same thing Jonathan, Stella Oduah, Dezaini Allisson-Madueke and others are doing at the federal level. WHAT HOPE DOES THE MASSES HAVE? Lagosians know already, its documented here: http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/images/pageimages/files/docs/Y2013%20HALF%20YEAR%20Appraisal.pdf |

All the better as forex rate has been YoYo these days. It also benefits the applicant as my bank charges me appropraite exchange rate whenever i buy online. What people need to understand is that after British High Commision colletcs fees from you, they apply to CBN for Forex, which they might now wish to cut out that process or reduce to the barest minimum. All said, its a Win Win situation |

atlwireles: I think the revelation from this hearing are the 300 cars imported by Lagos state. How much did all these cars cost? Where are the cars today? What kind of cars were they? I wonder where and why Lagos state comes into this?? Its very clear from the statement made from Customs at the hearing yesterday that Lagos state has nothing to do with this as you are insinuating. Its this simple: For the purpose of National Sports Festival Hosted by Lagos state, an import duty waiver was granted to Coscharis to bring in/import cars for the use of the Festival. Coscharis then utilised the same waiver to cover the BMW cars so as to avoid duty payment & thats why Customs said no duty was paid on the cars. Simple. That action by Coscharis is proven is criminal and fraudlent 4 Likes |

Deeply troubled by the quality of arguments/positions taken by "educated" Nigerians on the Bulletproof BMW cars saga. Its just indefensible that NCAA & Aviation Min will argue that its from their IGR & therefore we have no say. WE DO!! The IGR is our hard earned income that we pay as taxes at Airports and on Ticket purchases. A 1 way ticket to PH from Lagos averages =N=16,000. Only =N=3k+ goes to the Airline. The rest is Tax. A Lagos London ticket on Virgin is USD 444.01. NGN 172,711 represent taxes, fees, charges and carrier imposed surcharges. Its an obscene usage of our taxes & its condemnable. It must stop! 2 Likes |

me_for_you: Yoruba man DG NCAA bought armoured cars for himself and his foreign friends. And yorubas are asking a south eastern minister to go. Wonders shall never end In a letter dated August 13, 2013, J.D Nkemakolam, the former Acting Managing Director of the NCAA, sent a letter to the Managing Director of Coscharis Motors asking the company to deliver two BMW 760 armoured vehicles to the agency based on a pro-forma invoice dated June 25, 2013 at the cost of N127, 575, 000 ($796, 846. 21) each. The total amount of the two black BMW Li HSS vehicles, with chassis numbers WBAH41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044 respectively, was N255, 150,000, or $1,593,687. 31. 1 Like |

She earns income for the country, GEJ doesnt, he even abuses it (GEJ uses Aso Rock Banquet hall for PDP parties) She rents out her properties for public functions. She opens up a part of her Palaces for paid visits. Each celebration she does like her Jubilee earns heavy income for UK. I beg, no dey compare Transperency with Secrecy 2 Likes |

Frank-C: The success of all the story above depends on a strong regulatory body. I have not heard FG assure us of any form of customer protection moreso when they looked the other way when Meter Maintenance charge rose from =N=250 per month to =N=750 per month. Where on earth do you slam consumers that % difference & it is collected whether you are supplied electricity or not....thats the impunity in Nigeria for an equipment that you pay for life but never own. I think, judging by the buyers, we are in for some serious oppression. I wish to be proven wrong |

olokfor: Friday night will be a day that both pedestrians and motorists in ogba,ifako-Ijaiye local government area of Lagos state will not forget in a hurry. The static traffic jam started at about 4 pm and lasted till the early hours of saturday. Sheer indiscipline on the part of motorists causes such lengthy traffic jams. I have had to control traffic a few days ago at Bode Thomas/Adeniran Ogunsanya road junction Surulere. The average motorist is Lagos is a Stubborn Selfish Billy Goat. I succeeded for the 30 minutes thereabout but ended up wt a splitting headache; lost voice and sore throat not to talk of a sweaty smelly body. Too many impatient goons around town 2 Likes |
