“You’re highly respected by world leaders, including myself” | See the top 10 quotes from last week

It was all praises for President Muhammadu Buhari this past week, from U.S. President Obama Obama to United Nation Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon.

However, Lai Mohammed reminds Nigerians that the government isnt asleep to its problems that Kemi Adeosun seem to have solutions for.

Here are the top 10 notable quotes.

“UAE does not even allow you close to oil wells let alone sell them. For a country like Saudi Arabia, its budget each year is run by investments from oil revenue. Other countries are investing; I am sure we will not be fair to the next generation if we sell off our assets. If we must sell, we have to sell the non-performing assets so that people can turn them around and create employment.”
– Ike Ekweremadu on sales of national assets
“We have confidence in your leadership. There are some difficulties you face, but this administration is willing to assist in the short time we have left,” Adesina quoted Obama as saying. You have made real progress in defeating the brutal organisation called Boko Haram, and that was achieved because of your leadership.”
-Obama to Buhari – on the sidelines of the 71st edition of the UN General Assembly.
“We are very concerned about the welfare of Nigerians and we are not sleeping; we are working day and night to ensure that the country retraces its step. Many of our critics have been unfair to us because many of them know that we did not invent the problems we are facing today.”
-Lai Mohammed
“My life is ruined… I have been rendered homeless. I have been told that I have NO rights at all, my family is scared. My crime is journalism. I have been silent. I have given leaders the benefit of doubt, but now it is time to fight back while I can. My life is in danger.”
-Ahmed Saldika
“I recall unforgettably, how one of the women came straight to me with a look of utter desperation and all she could mutter out was, ‘please our senator, do what you can to put an end to this suffering; it is becoming unbearable’. I don’t know what your experience was, but if your experience mirrored mine, then the challenge before us could not have been made clearer.
-Bukola Saraki
“Problems begin to end when you begin to deploy the solutions. So for me, I think we are already coming out of it because I can see clearly that there is a difference in the way government is operating. There is a difference in the way people are spending government money. There is a difference and I see it in our monthly salary bill. So the problem has begun to end.
-Kemi Adeosun
““With these statistics given above, I dare to say that in the 2015/2016 legal year, our court confirmed its status as arguably the most overworked Supreme Court anywhere in the World.”
-Mahmud Mohammed, chief justice of Nigeria (CJN)
“Priscilla and I have spent the last few years talking to dozens of top scientists and experts who believe it’s possible to cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of this century. That doesn’t mean no one will ever get sick, but it does that mean that we’ll get sick a lot less, and that when we do, we’ll always be able to identify and treat the problem, or at least manage it as a non-harmful condition.”
-Mark Zuckerberg
““You are highly respected by world leaders, including myself. Your person has given your country a positive image”
Ban Ki-Moon to Buhari
“Those who stole Nigeria dry are not happy. They recruited the militants against us in the Niger Delta, and began to sabotage oil infrastructure. We lose millions of barrels per day, at a time when every dollar we can earn, counts. It is a disgrace that a minimum of 27 states, out of 36 that we have in Nigeria, can’t pay salaries.”
-President Buhari
