The Amnesty program will not be necessary if the government implement FF. In fact, with FF, ND Ministry and NDDC should be scrapped along with the "Amnesty".

I have a personal question for you and all others asking for true federalism. Have you ever been to northern Nigeria before?

People are too poor for you to take their only source of survival from them. They will fight you till you finish them or they finish you.


Nigerians need cheap electricity. We do not need federal government workers. Buhari should follow Ben Bruce's advice and cut public servants income. This should be the very first thing he does as his new government begins. After three months, he should implement the Steve oronsaye's report. The extra savings from firing government staff can then be spent on infrastructure like dams for agriculture and electricity.
Capital expenditure will lead to massive employment in the semi skilled labour market. Electricity and agriculture are the keys to a prosperous Nigeria.

When the price of oil rises again, he can the use the sovereign wealth fund account to save money for the country. Buhari has already affirmed that he is going to look into the subsidy fraud so a lot of savings will be discovered by this action. We need refineries but we may not be able to afford them right now. We should have made hay when the sun was shining. Right now, we are belt tightening so we are in a restructuring phase and our bloated civil service just has to be reduced.


When our real economy is booming, the SS can demand for resource control. Ur idea on scrapping the amnesty program is plain insanity and I can see that you are truly an enemy of progress.

Go back and read my comment and come back with an intelligent/coherent answer. God! Every time I have to argue pedantics on nl, but does 'I wouldn't be surprise' shows any conclusive statements?

The SW has always been the vanguard of campaign for true federalism from time immemorial and evidence abound. So, stop making it sound otherwise. APC was against the confab for suspicions of hidden agenda of PDP/GEJ and not because of opposition to true federalism.

Lastly, drop the idea of "the north wanted Jonathan out". The fact is that GEJ failed beyond pardon and he was voted against by Nigerians. If he performed to just above average of his promises, he would have remained a president even if all the Tinubus and the whole north didn't want him.


APC was against CONFAB because it came at a point when ASUU was on strike and school students where ahome. ASUU were asking for 9B Naira, yet GEJ spent 7B Naira on CONFAB. It was a travesty.

My first sentence = SW supports true federalism.
My 2nd sentence = Reaffirms my first.
My 3rd sentence = APC was against the confab.

Can anyone logically conclude or infere from the two statements above that APC = SW? It is surely a fallacy to say that.

Aregbesola has shown it by his inept dependence on oil alone just like Rochas of IMO state too...so also others...and more so, they are against the confab that did a quasi restructuring of the system... More reason, the north wanted Jonathan out so as to kill the report implementation...

I just listed a handful and you're already being this defensive!

FYI, we generated between 4,000MW and 4,500MW in 2010 (it peaked at 4,600MW). In 2014 it hovered between 3,000 and 3,500 MW and was even recorded at 2,000MW in February of this year.

"Minister for Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, on Wednesday attributed the drop in power generation to vandalism of oil and gas pipelines. The power generation stood at 2,000 megawatts yesterday, he said".


I can see some record where we generated 4000/4500mw in 2010...Finally, where is your evidence that Jonathan didn't perform above average in power sector as well as other sectors...thanks

Whynotthetruth:



You mean FG and all other state's debt put together... Mind you, APC tops the list of debtors...

I keep saying it here that Anambra template as instituted by Peter Obi and sustained now by Obiano shows how a sincere government can run the state leaving behind great infrastructure projects, development, increased salaries etc without a single debt even in the midst of so-called scarcity or reduced allocation; while less developed states with more allocation than them are wallowing in debts cool with nothing on ground to show for it except lies and propaganda...

Even if you say it 20 times a lie will never become the truth. Rochas came out to deny the links claiming he owed teachers for 13 months.

What you fail to understand is that since 2013 GEJ stopped allocating 5-7B per month to Imo state as it used to be. Rochas said he started receiving 2-3B. Same with Amaechi and even Aregbesola complained as well. That is why the FG has to shoulder most of the brunt. The 36 states only share 26% of Nigeria’s revenue. FG gets 52%. If revenue is dwindling then the FG is to blame for the gross mismanagement.

[quote author=obi4eze post=33501738]Mr Barcanista,
I can see that you are beginning to change a bit. Well I don't care if you jump ship because I already know who you are.

Now to the issue on ground. You did well to state the way forward but you did not really highlight the failures of this government. The economy under this administration has not seen the light of day. Good luck Jonathan has been wasteful and plunged Nigeria into debt, which now stands at more than 50 billion dollars.

Gen Buhari will have a lot of work to do and you can't talk about a present without a past. He would have to clean up the mess and rot in the system. He would need capable hands to help revamp the economy and sustain it. His social welfare program is laudable and if done in phases, it would be a huge success. Corruption, if fought to a stand - still, will ensure that project funds are not lost to looters.

I have a firm belief in him that he would change things for better. I will be patient with him and pray for his success in governance.


God bless GMB.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. [/quote

I hardly have the motivation to comment on posts on social media, but I was hyper-compelled to comment and commend your sense of reasoning and rare analytical prowess. At some point, I couldn't help but think that every young person out there was void headed. I agree with you that the future is bright with Gen. Buhari (rtd) at the helm. We can only be patient and give him all the supports he needs to succeed.

While taking my time to dissect your write-up, let me say kudos to you for finally heeding my advice to play opposition with constructive criticism.

Modified*
Some errors in what you claim APC promised:
1. APC/GMB never promised provision of 24/7 electricity. They only promised to increase power generation/distribution year on year.
2. The 3 million jobs (actually 20,000 jobs per state) is over four years.
3. They didn't promise to "end" corruption but to fight corruption and reduce it to a manageable level
4. All their social programs have conditions attached to them. They are secondary issues and shouldn't be the priority of the incoming government. They may only attend to them when monies are available to prosecute them.



The mistake of GEJ was not only sharing the $25 billion dollars, his failure to utilize our earnings from crude sale is even bigger than sharing the ECA. Besides, you cannot blame the governors for insisting on sharing when they always came back to meet the account depleted without their knowledge and without satisfactory explanation for what the money was used for.

All your suggestions are what GMB/APC have already given an indication that it is the way they will operate by:
1. Blocking leakages
2. Leaner government
3. Persuading NASS to reduce allowances of political office holders
4. Providing incentives to recover looted funds after looking at previous probe reports
5. Merging of some ministries while also eliminating minister of state portfolios.
6. etc., etc.
All in all, the incoming government has shown capacity to do things very differently from the outgoing one.
the 24hrs electricity was among their campaign promises.....I remember seeing these campaign posters all over ikeja especially the bridge close to ayike hospital and watching it on TVC...I don't know where you got your own information from......
