We are exceptionally and crudely disorganized! This our undoing that will continue to haunt us for as long as we continue having visionless and directionless leaders. A toddler at forty three! To think that there are countries in this world that do not have any oil resourses, but have better and more organized refineries with proper energy policy in place than naija, is a big shame. We must stop misplacing our priorities and concentrate on viable projects that will improve the lot of our people. Imagine for the last four years the oil industry is being run by the President himself without a minister, save for a schedule-less oil adviser! WHY? 8) We send our crude oil abroad for refining, despite our four refineries, simply because we cannot any of them!!!!!

If at all the present regime is interested in repairing the refineries,they would have done so without spending a kobo.What they will do is just to invite those who build the refineries and tell them that we want to repair these refineries but we don't have money, instead we will compansate you with crudeoil.Since nigeria is bless with abundant of crude oil.That's how they use to compansate julius berger in some of the projects they are executing.

Just imagine what the vice president said,in a recent interview with BBC hausa service, the reporter asked him why they refuse to repair the refineries during their first tenure? he replied that even if the refineries are working to capacity,the scarcity will persist cose they will not meet up with the demand,the vice president concluded that the products will continue to be scarce as long as nigerians refuse to agree with the appropriate price or complete deregulation of the oil sector.Does this kind of answer suppose to come out from an elected vice president? who have the sympathy of those who elected him,the government claim that they are going to use the money in the best interest of nigerians while nigerians are saying that let the money be use in subsidising the product,are we really in a democracy?are governments suppose to implement what people want or are they suppose to impose what they feel like?

Kai. And yet OBJ was busy globetrotting and begging Nigerian engineers abroad to come back and help rebuild the country. They say one one thing and do another. We should come back ke? Come back to what?

Below are two images I took in Abuja on the eve of the Fuel Price increase. It took me a little over 5 hours to get my car tank filled with about 50 litres of Nigerian? Petrol (Gasoline). The Gas station is the AP Gas station directly opposite NICON Hotel (Maitama, Abuja) and I joined the cue at the IBB Round About by British Council along Shehu Shagari Way...

That was during his first tenure,can you imagine he has gone to four countries in about two months of his second tenure,He was in Zimbabwe to deliver lectures on democratic behaviour,that he himself needed morethan the zimbabwen president,then to liberia to put out foreign fires,when his country was paralised during the fuel increase protest,then to mozambique for african union summit,after that to Saotome to install the ousted president.All these walkabout is at the expense of nigerians,only God knows how much he and his entorage received as travelling allowances.
And we are now in the seventh month of the year,he has not done anything about the budget.Our legislators too are not helping matters,they are busy discussing the political gangsterism that happened in Anambra state.

Why are the engineers coming back when he, as president did not put anything in place for rebuilding nigeria and it seems he is not ready to do that for the rest of his tenure.God forbid.

Mallam Salisu,nagode kwarai da kyautan goro.You were lucky not to have joined the queu after NIPC through RAW MATERIALS to the BRITISH COUNCIL ROUNDABOUT then back to the filling station.You were also lucky to have gotten the fuel in five hours.
The images are very beautiful,they will give an oppurtunity for people like lionger,fulanious e.t.c living abroad to see the kind of hardship we are going through.Those who live in abuja and lagos are luckier for seeing the fuel in filling stations than the rest of Nigerians.
Is it not shameful to our leaders?the filling station we are talking about is directly opposite Nicon Hilton, where all the guest putoff whenever they are in Nigeria,that's where bush himself lodged when he came,No wonder they ignored the president when he was begging them for debt relieve.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!

HOLY MACARONI!!!!

WHOA NOW THATS JUST  :o :o :o

 

THIS IS JUST SO BAD....SO BAD..SO UNFORTUNATE...
COZ ITS ALL SO SO EASY.....CLEANING UP THE EMSS IN NIJA CAN BE DONE IN JUST 1 YEAR.....AND EVEN LESS...

ITS ALL SO EASY...AND THE LEADERS AND WORKING ENOUGH OR SHOULD I SAY ARENT WORKING AT ALL...

 

i give up...i will spit my mind out!
Okayyy i probaby might do sum people wrong by saying what i am about to say.......but the truth always hurt...now yall know that... and someone gasta put the scattered marbles back in the jar...

See as i started sayin its all sooo simple and easy....
look at this and pls yall do the math for me...

A POLICE MAN livin in say ABUJA(expensive place)...with a MINIMUN of THREE CHILDREN....

---and MINIMUM of 3 wives....just kidding ;D----

anywayzzz recieves 10000 naira every month..HE is expected to pay the LIGHT bill...Water bills..PHONE BILLS(if he has any)...FEES for the THREE children....CLOTHES....ATLEAST three pair of shoes..UNIFORMS...BOOKS...PENCILS...PEN...BUY COOKING GAS...RENT...CAR GAS...MEDICAL BILLS...oooh FOOD... and then they are provided with GUN to protect people... well how in the heavnez do they xpect a broken down person to keep his cool? OFCOURSE HEZ GONNA USE THE GUN IN ANOTHER WAY TO FIND HIS WAY THRU LIFE.

see...the changes must start from the very top! see...NIGERIA IS ONE OF THE TOP OIL PRODUCING COUNTRIES...Nigeria has natural resources....we have food.as in crops and all...and my brothaz out there r keepin it real and really taking care of the cows...I mean we have more than enough...weve got land...weve got tourism areaz(we need to develop some of them though)...weve got the resources financially....man we have a HIGH potential of going all the way up!

first of all....people shouldnt be thinking about only themselves...money should be released...and when i say money,i mean ENOUGH money....people have to change their hearts first too...try to be more more.....honest and dedicated.

They release more money....so that uncompleted projects will be finished and done very WELL. and the people with their contracts should fear God and do the JOB well instead of eating the money and doing fake jobs. and a kind of investigation and inspection should ALWAYZ be carried out to make sure those JOBS are weldone or otherwise SERIOUS penalty will be followed.

another problem nijeriya has is security....okay couls any1 pls tell me what the soldiers r doing???? we have like what? like thousands upon thousands of em... they r just sitting there like sardines...being ignored and frustrated.... GIVE THEM WORK TO DO...let them go into the bushes...forest n capture all these bandits....anyone that captures a bandit will get a promotion and plus money will be given as token of appreciation....in a week....believe me u can even travel with a car made of diamond at 2 am....soldiers and police join forces and work on this issue....we have the money and power to supply them with weapons and cars and etc..

and  u know what.....unless the people -dont wanna be specific- can change this aint gonna happen!
they know that they will HAVE TO PART with the bad money they r consuming...so they are NOT willing and NOT ready to let money flow and be used the way it should be! After all HEY they are not the ones whose kids go to uni in nijeria...hey the kids always go to london or US for simple medical check up.....soooo what do they care if other people r suffering....

as I said HEARTS must be changed first!

salamu alaikum...i leave u in peace

Yes fulanicious Nigeria is blessed with anything u can think of but the problemis,any body that get their is trying to get his own National cake,he also wants his own share,'cos after retirement to get ur own dues is another wahala.The system and the people are all curropt,and even Nigerians[i mean the poor masses] themselves,will use any opportunity to acquire something that is not thiers,think of transportes and market people the moment their is hike they will all increase their fares even if that thing didn't affect them.Somebody was suggesting revolution,i think is impossible 'cos of the diversity of the nation,only prayer and lot of determination will pull us out of this shamble.

After I have visited Nigeria and saw the situation the country is in, I am here asking this quesstion do you guys think that politics is the right thing for Nigeria right now? should we continue on with Democracy in the nation? it looks like it doesn't help the country at all

Quoteshould we continue on with Democracy in the nation? it looks like it doesn't help the country at all

Am sorry Gimbiya,we are not operating democracy,what we have is just civilian rule.cose leaders are suppose to have listening ears for the masses in a real democratic setup contrary to what is happening now,the leaders are just doing what will favour them,Just imagine they are trying to implement something called monetisation.i think democracy will be the best system in a country like nigeria,if at all it will be well implemented.

My sister even the 10000 naira is not regular,their number of days in a month is around 60-90 days instead of the normal 30 days.i had a chat with a police man just like week,if you hear their condition one will pity them,think of a situation where by a police man is sent to a bush well armed for two weeks without any allowance,What do you think will happen? The accomodation you are talking of is not well provided even for the senior officers talkless of the junior ones.that's why those in charge of federal investigation and intelligent  bureau refused to relocate from lagos to their headquarters in abuja,they said they are not coming back if their accomadation is not taken care of.Infact these are among the reasons that compelled them to go on strike,have you ever heard of a country where the police force went on strike?kai uncle sege deserves a special award for steering a country that witness the first ever strike by the police.

We lack so much in this country, especially in terms of patriotism and good wishes for one another. Our government is not so interested in seeing our hardships ameliorated. What does it matter if government can today sell a litre of petrol @ N20:00 to its citizens? Most countries of the world are busy cushioning and making life easier for their citizens by way of making abundant the needs of citizens. We lack good portable drinking water, good roads, medicalcare, roads, qualitative education and direction. It is high time our leaders are made to understand that things have to change for better as most of the people in this country are becoming disinterested in the enterprise called NIGERIA!
