fasbat: you failed to mention #6.2 billion for sensitization for PIB (Ministry of Petroleum) My brother, if you know you have a damn serious president, as a minister you will not even dare present such a budget. Imagine madam frog eyes presenting such a budget under Buhari regime. |

To GEJ supporters, yes you have provided the link to all your claims, but going by all what you have mention there is still more to do instead of looking for people to praise your government, i think you should tell there is still more to do, mentioning two or three roads, or renovation of airports is not enough for Nigerians to start praising him (GEJ). There are still lots and lots to do, first the issue of corruption, in his cabinet we can mention two or three executives who have bee indicted in the report of the committee he set up himself,but what is happening now nothing tangible to those indicted. Meanwhile, you dont expect their government not to do anything since in power, after all their Wednesday executive meeting and approving of billion every time, we all know part of the money is meant for something and the remaining is for their loot. So when next you want to give report about Nairaland report tell him to work on corruption, security and be more active in his role and not slowpoke, Nigerians need iron hand to combat corruption. |

Sincere 9gerian: HATERS continue to HATE, while GEJ continues to DELIVER and IMPRESS:Thank you for this nice work. You see, these haters are sincerely the enemies of this country, especially when it is as a result of jona's tribe, when it arises from sudden stopage of their usual immoral, illegal and unjustifiable means of making maney. You think the haters are not seen the elections, what about power, the rails. Atleast these ones are very clear even for these abnormal nigerians to see. The meaning of hate is: To have a strong feeling of dislike for something or somebody. These haters will never see whatever jona is doing. If jona likes let him employ the services of cnn, bbc, ait, etc to prove to them that he is trying. They will never see any thing. So let jona continues to give no DAMN to these people. But let me tell you today that many reasonable people are seeing the efforts of this government. Don't worry. Time shall tell. He, jona will make the best records. |

ABU GEORGE: If we d nigerians dont start telling ourselves d truth, our govt will continue stil using our head to hit each other. Why do we always hide d truth even wen u know. Try travel out infaat try Ghana and u'll see dat naija is lost. D question i ask always is dat do we really have govt who care about d poor you don't say?.. So Ghana has a government that completely cares about their poor yea?. Infact no one can be considered poor in Ghana.... please!!!!! FACT 1: There would always be poor people, i mean very adamantly poor people. (its kinda for the balance in the society) Example: Even in the US where people would argue that the playing field is level and all, people are still poor. They have standard public schools, loans and scholarships for college students and all that good stuff. You could actually go to school from your nursery to phd without paying shi, until you start working but hey there are still poor people there. Almost 50 percent of the US population live on food stamps from the government, remove that and you'll find out that Ekaette and her mum who sell bole or Bimbo who is a maid or Ahmed who is a gateman are all way better off than these people who live on food stamps. FACT 2: GEJ cannot build the perfect Nigeria in two years. Its not easy being the president of any country, let alone Nigeria. FACT 3: If you keep waiting on the government to be your daily source of bread you are stup!d!!..Its obvious some people here want GEJ to allocate N1 million Naira to them every month because "its our money". LOOL, here's a bench for them too \_________ FACT 4: The present administration is one of the best since Nigeria was created....things may not be perfect for everyone but please don't blame the FG for your lack of funds or poverty, they don't owe you a better life...you owe that to yourself and you should hold yourself accountable for your gains and losses. frankly, if you have not paid your dues by working hard, don't expect to reap where you did not sow. |

You guys play the ethnc card and come back and call other people bigots, I taught you guys said the president is working the first job of mr president is to provide security for the lives and properties of his citizens....... Am sure you know he said the country is secure but the minister of finance mother wad kidnapped, you say Nigeria is safe but the president can't go to borno state or yobe state or bauchi state, You say he is trying to cut cost of governance he increaseses his travels and number of aides, you say he is fighting corruption by dining and winning with all the public figures that have proven to be thieves, just last week he said alamesigha was his benefactor Mr man all the fingers of corruption in the subsidy nonsense point to the fact that mr president was a major beneficiary from all the massive looting that went on in the oil industry in the last two years, I want to know what the president is doing about education, what is his true agenda for infrastructure development For job creation etc.....

Inspection of Rehabilitated Lagos-Kano Rail Begins 14 Dec 2012 All is now set for the final inspection of the rehabilitated Lagos-Kano rail tracks, the Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) has said. The final inspection, which will be spearheaded by the inspection team set up by the Federal Government, will enable the corporation ascertain the true state of things on the rehabilitated rail. This was disclosed by NRC Managing Director, Mr. Adeseyi Sijuwade, at the opening ceremony of the maiden NRC management three-day retreat in Lagos. He said the inspection of the rail track was in line with the Federal Government transformation agenda. “As soon as the inspection team declares the Lagos-Kano rail tracks fit for human and goods passage, particularly the integrity of Akere Bridge and Bridge 73 in Minna both in Niger State, which were recently reinforced, the corporation would immediately commence train operation”, he said. The NRC boss reiterated President Goodluck Jonathan’s commitment to reduce burden on the road and constant road accidents with the regular haulage of goods and passengers from one part of the country to another before the end of the year. “After the certification by the inspection team, which will take a train ride from Lagos to Kano to ascertain the credibility of the tracks, NRC will have no other option than to commence train operations before Christmas,” Sijuwade said. At the retreat, participants were charged to brainstorm on the way forward for the corporation. The management noted that with the federal government decision to restructure reform and rebrand the transport sub-sector, efforts had been channelled towards rehabilitating dilapidated tracks and other equipment in the corporation as well as training of the entire workforce irrespective of the cadres or grade levels. Sijuwade disclosed that the present management inherited a railway system almost in comatose state with dilapidated facilities, demoralised and depleted workforce and frustrated pensioners. Highlighting other challenges encountered and efforts put in to revive the moribund corporation, the NRC boss said: “We met shortfall in budget for salaries, insufficient rolling stock and locos, single track and cape gauge (1067 mm), obsolete machinery and workshop equipment, paucity of fund for training, porosity of rail corridors and accessibly to link rail to airport and seaport. “But today, the status of the corporation has improved significantly from comatose state to that of a functional rail system. With the Federal Government intervention in providing fund and political will couple with the corporation commitment to seeing the railway lines work again, the Lagos to Jebba rail tracks axis has been rehabilitated by CCECC, and the train operations has been resumed, while that of the Jebba to Kano is near completion. In the same vein, the Federal Government has awarded the rehabilitation of the rail tracks from Port Harcourt to Makurdi covering 463km for a period of 10 months. He called for active participation during the retreat as the result would play an important role in reshaping the ongoing railway rehabilitation project and the transformation agenda of the present administration. Also, the Director of Administration and Human Resources of NRC, Aminu Gusau, in his opening speech said the retreat was an opportunity for the senior staff of the corporation to engage in conversation and reflect on past activities of the organisation and chart a new way forward to actualise the transformation agenda of the Federal Government as regards the rail sub-sector in particular and transport sector in general. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/inspection-of-rehabilitated-lagos-kano-rail-begins/133509/ 1 Like |

I just occurred to me to do this because the LIES and propaganda of opposition party faithfuls and ethnic warlords on NL was becoming too much. I even omitted some areas like the wonderful work being done in agriculture and health. In fact this GEJ govt is doing SO MUCH. I'm sure I spoiled the party for the 'retardinhos' today but we'll continue to do the right things for love of country with the support of other patriotic Nigerians. |

One of the factors that encouraged my failed attempt at studying Medicine at the University is my passionate dislike for mathematics. I literarily can’t stand numbers and the magic that comes with mathematical procedures. But President Goodluck Jonathan in his infinite capacity for the miraculous sent me back to school for extra classes in Basic Arithmetic on Tuesday 11th December when I read a report that the President had made a request to the National Assembly for a Supplementary amount of N161 billion as fuel subsidy payment for the remaining three weeks in this year as, according to him, the original N881 billion budgeted for that purpose for the whole of the year had been exhausted. Now, there is no reason to suspect our dear President of falsehood, but the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala had on October 21 said the N888 billion allocated for subsidy payments in the 2012 budget should be enough to pay petroleum product importers and that government might not need supplementary appropriation for subsidy payments in 2012. So I thought maybe Mr. President had been misled, yet again, by his retinue of ineffective, over-paid aides into submitting a supplementary budget request for the wrong purpose, or maybe there was a typographic error on the request paper and Mr. Jonathan meant to ask for N16.1 billion, or N1.61 billion. Anyway, I brought out my calculator to crunch some numbers to see where lays the error. Just so you know how big N161 billion is, at least in budgetary terms, consider how it compares to some selected allocations in the 2013 Budget Proposal presented by President Goodluck Jonathan to the National Assembly some weeks back: The N161 billion for 3 weeks fuel subsidy is: almost twice the total allocation for Agriculture in 2013 (N81 billion times 2 = N162 billion); more than twice the total allocation for Power in 2013 (N74 billion times 2 = N148 billion); more than thrice the total allocation for Water Resources in 2013 (N47 billion times 3 = N141 billion); more than twice the capital allocation for Education in 2013 (N60 billion times 2 = N120 billion); almost thrice the capital allocation for Health in 2013 (N55 billion times 3 = N165 billion); more than the capital allocation for Works in 2013 (N151 billion); more than twice the total allocation for Niger Delta in 2013 (N63 billion times 2 = N126 billion). The N161 billion for 3 weeks fuel subsidy is more than twice the Statutory Transfer for Universal Basic Education in 2013 (N72 billion times 2 = 144 billion); more than twice the Statutory Transfer for Niger-Delta Development Commission in 2013 (N57 billion times 2 = N114 billion), more than the Statutory Transfer for the National Assembly in 2013 (N150 billion). Indeed, the N161 billion for 3 weeks fuel subsidy is more than the sum total of the 2013 total allocation for Science and Technology (N31 billion), Mines and Steel (N13 billion), Environment (N21 billion), Lands and Housing (N24 billion); Aviation (N53 billion) (sum total = N141 billion). Now that we know just how big the additional N161 billion Mr. President is asking for is, please follow me diligently as we go through the arithmetic of year 2012 fuel subsidy payments. Please note that some of the figures used here are approximates. First let’s go through the basics: There are 52 weeks in year 2012, out of which we have spent 49 weeks, with 3 weeks left. So far, we have spent N881 billion on fuel subsidy for 49 weeks, which translates into about N18 billion per week, N2.6 billion per day, N107 million per hour, N1.8 million per minute. According to Mr. President, we need an additional N161 billion to pay for fuel subsidy for the remaining 3 weeks in the year, which translates into about N53.7 billion per week, N7.7 billion per day, N319 million per hour, N5.3 million per minute. How much is fuel subsidy? On January 1st 2012 when the government of Goodluck Jonathan decided to completely remove subsidy on fuel, one litre of PMS sold for N141. After the OccupyNigeria nationwide protests and help from Labour Unions, government agreed to a partial subsidy regime, with PMS to sell for N97 per litre. This means that actual subsidy on one litre of PMS is N44 (N141 minus N97). How much fuel can we subsidize with N881 billion? How many litres of fuel can we subsidize with N881 billion at the rate of N44 subsidy per litre? N881 billion divided by N44 = 20 billion litres. So the federal government has used N881 billion to, benevolently, subsidize 20 billion litres of fuel between January and now, which puts consumption at 20 billion litres in 49 weeks, 408 million litres per week, N58 million litres per day, 2.5 million litres per hour. How much fuel can we subsidize with N161 billion? So how many litres of fuel can we subsidize with N161 billion at the rate of N44 subsidy per litre? N161 billion divided by N44 = 3.7 billion litres. So the federal government is going to use N161 billion to, benevolently, subsidize 3.7 billion litres of fuel between now and the end of the year, which puts projected consumption at 3.7 billion litres in 3 weeks, 1.2 billion litres per week, 174 million litres per day, 7.3 million litres per hour. So government estimates that Nigerians are going to consume three times more fuel in the next three weeks than they did at any point during the past 49 weeks. How much is fuel subsidy for the entire year? If the National Assembly approves the N161 billion Fuel Subsidy Supplementary Budget request as made by Goodluck Jonathan, total amount spent on fuel subsidy in year 2012 would be: Amount spent on fuel subsidy for 49 weeks (N881 billion) plus Amount to be spent on fuel subsidy for 3 weeks (N161 billion) = N1.042 trillion N1.042 trillion spent on fuel subsidy in 52 weeks translates into about N20 billion per week, N2.85 billion per day, N119 million per hour, N2 million per minute. How much fuel can we subsidize with N1.042 trillion? So how many litres of fuel can we subsidize with N1.042 trillion at the rate of N44 subsidy per litre? N1.042 trillion divided by N44 = 23.7 billion litres. So the federal government is going to use N1.042 trillion to, benevolently, subsidize 23.7 billion litres of fuel for the whole of year 2012, which puts consumption at 23.7 billion litres in 52 weeks, 455 million litres per week, 65 million litres per day, 2.7 million litres per hour. How much fuel do Nigerians actually consume per day? The answer to this question depends on the source you consult. According to Mr. Enoch Kenawa, the Secretary of the Oil Marketers Association, it is 35 million litres per day; according to Mr. Reginald Stanley, the Executive Secretary of the Petroleum Products Pricing and Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Nigeria imports 59 million litres of fuel per day, but Nigerians only consume 35 million litres, while the remaining 24 million litres are unaccounted for; while the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation puts national daily consumption figures between 30 and 33 million litres. So we can safely assume Nigerians consume 35 million litres of fuel per day, which translates into about 245 million litres per week and about 13 billion litres for the entire year. Subsidy figures based on national daily consumption: If Nigerians consume 35 million litres of fuel per day, and government pays a subsidy of N44 on each litre: Subsidy payment per day: 35 million litres times N44 = N1.54 billion per day Subsidy payment per week: 35 million litres times N44 times 7 = N10.8 billion Subsidy payment for 3 weeks: 35 million litres times N44 times 7 times 3 = N32.3 billion Subsidy payment for 49 weeks: 35 million litres times N44 times 7 times 49 = N528 billion Subsidy payment for a year: 35 million litres times N44 times times 365 = N562 billion * Please note that the combined daily fuel productions of Nigeria’s four refineries, which are not subsidized, were ignored in this calculation to avoid complications. * Also note that fuel was not subsidized for the first 3 weeks of year 2012. Summary: The federal government claims to have spent N881 on fuel subsidy for the past 49 weeks when in fact that actual amount should be N528 billion The federal government proposes to spend N161 billion on fuel subsidy for the next 3 weeks when the actual amount should be N32.3 billion If request for supplementary fund is granted, the federal government would spend a total of N1.042 trillion on fuel subsidy in year 2012 when the actual amount should be just about half of that (N562 billion). The difference between government’s claims and actual amount is: N480 billion. Haven taken you through the rigours of how big, in budgetary terms, N161 billion is, I won’t take you through that stress for N480 billion. But do note that N480 billion is almost 3 times N161 billion. Every single day in year 2012, for all of the 365 days in the year, including public holidays, and Sabbaath days which God asked us to keep holy, Goodluck Jonathan is short-changing Nigerians to the tune of N1.3 billion. N1.3 billion disappears from the coffers of the nation, goes into the pockets of the croonies of the criminals in power, and someone somewhere writes on that monumnetal fraud: Fuel Subsidy! Every single hour in year 2012, N55 million disappears under the government of Goodluck Jonathan. Mr. President has installed an Automated Looting Machine into the cashware of the nation’s finances., he called it Fuel Subsidy. The machine dispenses N55 million every hour, almost N1 million per minute, round the clock. And that machine is about to get really busy in the next three weeks, if the National Assembly rubberstamps that N161 billion request. Mr. President has declared an end of the year bonanza for his friends, it would cost the nation N161 billion. Closing: In closing, I bring you the words of Mr. Enoch Kenawa, the Secretary of the Oil Marketers Association via the Punch, he said: “We have said it continuously in the past that the N888bn fuel subsidy budget for 2012 was inadequate but the finance minister has been proving stubborn and deceiving Nigerians that the amount would be enough. We have been in this business for a long time and we know what the trends are. I am happy that our position has been justified. We are calling on the National Assembly to quickly pass request of the President so that supply of products can increase. Once the money is approved, Nigerians are assured of a good holiday period to ensure adequate supply of fuel during Christmas.” There, brethren, is the handwriting on the wall, in bold letters for all to see.

Sincere 9gerian: Maybe you do not know this, but 70 percent of the people that are criticizing GEJ today voted for him. I am not one of those that voted for him. I knew it would turn out to be this way when I saw the people (Anenih and co) that were at his side during the elections. FACT: There is no government in Nigeria that has stayed in office and done absolutely nothing. Even Uduaghan has built 64 billion naira airport in Asaba, and nothing else in the whole state. Even Theodore Orji has dashed youth of Abia keke Napep. The question is how much are you doing, and how much are you impacting the lives of Nigerians? GEJs government is squandering Nigeria's wealth by spending on rubbish that does not impact the lives of Nigerians. Case in point 1.2 billion feeding money. Vice president residence 9 billion. 3.3 billion on foriegn travels. 2.2 billion on reception hall. 165 billion on fuel subsidy for last 3 weeks of December alone. Everyday we read of public officials stealing billions brazenly without conviction. No amount of money is too shocking anymore. 60 billion. 20 billion. No one steals millions anymore because they know it's better to steal more. All the ex-governors who were prosecuted are walking around free. They say th judiciary is the problem and yet no memeber of the Judiciary has been tried for corruption as an example to others. Now look at the things you listed: Airport rehabilitation? Airport that other leaders built in less than 3 years in some case? what is a routine maintainace of airport? It should not even be mentioned as an achievement if not for the rot in Nigeria. Was a new terminal built or something, biko? Power issue has still not being resolved. In fact when the light situation improved, the president got a lot of kudos from people on this same forum. he sacked the minister that was performing, and we went back to square one. Now those same people are releasing thier anger at government and you are calling them bigots and party members. as per roads, people are plying those roads and no one has seen any improvement. Its easy to drive along and send the pictures of the roads you claim have been constructed. Surely should be pictures somewhere on the internet or the ministry of works website? On the other hand, people have regularly posted pictures of the horrible PH-Enugu express way, Lagos-Ibadan expressway, and the never ending construction on Ore-Benin road. How many kilometers is that strtch of road anyway? I was on East-West road the other day...It has been virtually abandoned. A good test of popularity is the internet. It is a democratic medium. People log on and give thier opinions. On an open forum like this, you can guage a public figure's popularity pretty easily. That is why TA Orji is unpopular here. Any news on Akpabio or Mandela will always get a majority favorable comments on an open Nigerian forum. GEJ has decieved Nigerians once...they were just glad to see a so-called fresh faced politicians. Now they have seen his true colours. He is not a bad person, but represents the status quo...and Nigerians do not want the status quo. they voted for change. |

ABU GEORGE: . Thanks for ur comment, am quiet doesnt make me a fool, let me tell u, jonathan is d worst govt nigeria have ever produce fill wit corruption, why are we hiding d truth from ourself, we know jonathan cannot give all to us but wat is d good things has it offer we nigerian for d now rather dan hearin corruption, strike, death and stealin about billion of money in his presence i think dat is d good things i've seen in d president. I just regret why i vote for him I barely understood what you said....barely, nevertheless I completely disagree. Jonathan's administration is way more transparent than Obj's, Abacha's and all the other previous greedy military rulers that completely destroyed Nigeria. Have you seen the transformations in Lagos?, Port harcourt?, Calabar... the list goes on. people are now accountable for whatever they do in Nigeria. Nigeria is not there yet, but its definitely getting there. p.s The fact that you may not be progressing doesn't mean the country isn't. |
