I am not a Zombie like you who rely on misleading
headline to score cheap points.

just answer these 2 questions that my 13 year old nephew will easily
provide answer:

1.) Is Nigeria the 9th most populous country ?
What

2.) What qualifies an agency to be a revenue generating agency ?

Those are the 2 questions Buhari and his advisers found too difficult
tackle.

...and so I decided to open a thread where I objectively raised some salient points, backing same with relevant authorities when counter-arguments were put forward by some civil nairalanders. Having taken a calm look at most of the comments this thread has elicited, I can not but realize that some people are so pained that when ever they come across any thread not singing the praise of PMB, they trow caution to the wind and resort to name calling and making primordial arguments.

Well, for the sake of knowledge and the furtherance of same, I make bold to challenge any one who thinks he/she has what it takes to objectively water down any of the points so raised in this thread, to indicate and step forward.

Until that is done, I will allow y'all to be having the fun of your life, while I observe from the back seat

1. Nobody knows Nigeria's position as population census was done years ago. Some school of thought says 7th while some says 9th.
None can lay claim to accuracy as Mortality and birth rate is unknown since the last population census. Most things out there are simply speculations


2. Any agency adding to the bottom line of the federal Government is REVENUE GENERATING. They remit some amount of money from time to time.
CBN and NCC generates revenue too.
In 2012, Auditor general said CBN was the highest revenue generating agency for that year.
With revenue running into billions.
(One will think that is a very simple question for a graduate no wonder employment rate is very high)

You have ur answers you can deny it once again

989900:
Why is the OP making a mockery of himself?

1. PMB didn't write that speech -- it was written by professionals in-the-know, do you know more than them?

2. They do generate revenue.

Put half the energy you put into this sham, into finding out how -- you'll be a better man for it.

Tomjazzy2:


Did you take out time to dig out the UN world population Report I cited? I hope you understand that even when there are conflicting opinions on any particular subject matter, opinions of international organizations like the UN are[b] HIGHLY[/b] regarded?

I never refuted the claim that the CBN and NCC do not have the capacity of generating funds internally, I however asked if they are STRICTLY, revenue generating agencies, bearing in mind their core functionalities.

Yea, it did!

We are on the same page boss!

Enice:
so the word STRICTLY is what makes the President embarrassing to the international community? You insult your president because NCC and CBN are not strictly revenue generating agencies?

OnReflection:


Since the FGN thinks otherwise, would it not make sense to apprise yourself with more up to date information?



Source: NNPC, CBN, NIMASA, FCT, others hold back govt’s N8.8tr, says report

By the way, according to the UN, the population figure of 183,408,000 - which situates Nigeria in seventh place - is a projected one.

GSM licences were sold for 285 million dollars while GLO got his own for 200 million

Tomjazzy2:
Having painstakenly taken a very calm perusal at the draft copy of President Buhari's independence day speech, I can not but begin to wonder who drafted the speech of this importance.

The said speech is regrettebly fraught with some collosal errors, and I make bold to say here, has caused us an international embarassment.

In the second paragraph for instance, the President opined that Nigeria is the "ninth most populous nation" in the world.

Any one who knows elementary government do not need to consult an oracle before realizing that Nigeria is infact, the 7th most populous Nation in the world.

Furthermore, in the 17th paragraph, another laughable error was made, when the President said "...I have ordered a complete audit of our other revenue generating agencies, mainly CBN, FIRS, Customs, NCC..."

Apart from FIRS and Customs mentioned above, surely, neither the CBN nor the NCC qualify as a revenue generating agency. To be sure, both agencies are strickly speaking, regulatory agencies.

Or has the scope of those agencies been reviewed to include generating revenue for the country?

If the President have severally been discribed as some one who takes his time in anything he does, one who pays attention to every detail, then this speech leaves much to be desired.

wirinet:


You refused to discus further on NCC, so i assume you admit you did not look critically at the fallacious academic work that says NCC is not a revenue generating agency. Even at the begining of GSM introduction in Nigera, NCC sold GSM licenses for more than $600million. Glo alone bought the 2nd National carrier license for 1billion dollars.

I left out the CBN delibrately because the CBN is more complex. It is not strictly a revenue generating agency as its function is primarily to act as a Banker to the federal government, But ECN101 would tell you that CBNs all over the world also acts as banker to the private banks ie commercial, investment and all other banks. Now are you telling me CBN provides banking services to Banks for free?

You are just looking for excuses to insult your president (yes, your president), and you look for the most stupid excuse to do so.


About the discrepancies in the populations figures, you should know that Nigeria's population figures is in dispute. Even the website you provides says;


The figures were not termed official like the others, it is just an educated guess. So you are just making a mountain out of a mole hill.

According to Wikipedia which I just checked, Nigeria is d 7th most populous country in d world..

However, leave op alone. He's having fun

tuniski:
nonsense it could have been u writing the speech. The observations were well on point. They were errors QED!

Boss13:




Buhari has said he is only going to run for a single tenure so why spend so much negative energy trying to convince people to hate him. Channel this wasted energies in contributing to make this country great

snakie86:


I can't help but laugh about how knoledgeable you are.....if cbn and ncc doesnt generate revenue aside their regulatory functions then what do they do?
I guess u dont know that they collect fines and charges on behalf of the FG.....CBN sells treasury bills and forex, the income they get is what?
So far internet is now cheap doesnt mean we can right rubbish or shouldnt take our time to research very well before spitting out.
Atleast google can help u with the financials of these organizations to know how much they generate as income/profit on a yearly basis
