Fayose , Others Should Return To Elementary School – Minister Lai by 175(m): 3:32am On Nov 17, 2015
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has suggested that Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti and others kicking against President Muhammadu Buhari’s Treasury Single Account policy should return to elementary because they have failed to understand the workings of the policy.

“Those behind the rumour that a single company made N25 billion from charging one per cent of TSA funds that passed through the company’s software, may need to return to elementary school to get some lessons in arithmetic,” he said in a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr Segun Adeyemi, in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

“This is because in order for one per cent charge to fetch N25 billion, the funds accruing into the TSA must have reached N2.5 trillion.

Yet, the total amount of funds in the TSA to date is still much less than 2 trillion.

“More importantly, at the time the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ordered that all monies that were erroneously charged as ‘revenue’ be returned to the TSA Account late last month, the TSA had less than N800 billion.

“It therefore beggars belief that anyone could attempt to mislead the public by raising a false alarm that a firm made N25 billion in TSA charges.”

Mohammed appealed to Nigerians not to allow those who had been funding their lavish lifestyles and encouraging corruption, to the detriment of ordinary citizens and without bothering about national interest.

He said the accusation was to sabotage the laudable TSA programme with contrived lies, dangerous innuendoes and misinformation.

It would be recalled that Fayose , in a statement on Sunday, declared that he would not be part of the meeting the Federal Government was to hold with state governors on the TSA because the policy itself was a fraud against Nigeria and its people as it is aimed at recouping money spent on the last general elections by the APC, as well as raise money for future elections, especially the Kogi and Bayelsa States gubernatorial poll.

Fayose also asked the Federal Government to expose those behind REMITA so that Nigerians would know those “through whom the All Progressives Congress, APC, is siphoning Nigerian money to fund Kogi and Bayelsa States governorship election.”

He added that System Specs the company that manages TSA made N25 billion.

Fayose has never denied the fact that he is not renowned for academic exploits nor laid claim to being well educated. We know he needs a little touch up to beat him into line in a civil society, but Lai and Co who lay claim to Harvard and Cambridge should educate us more on this Remita deal. It has become 'the more you look, the less you see'.

A couple had a quarrel one cold night ...,
when bedtime came, due to the hostile mien
between them, the wife got on the bed and the
man took to the floor...
.
As the night got colder, the man became so
restless that he had to squeeze his manhood
gently saying... "calm down , can't you see that
I quarreled with her".
.
The wife who also couldn't sleep quickly replied
from the bed, "it's you and I that quarrelled o,
not them. Bring him here let him play with his
friend..."

Nigeria is really a joke! So you were accused of entering a contract that milks a whooping 1% of our revenue and all you could say was that the TSA has not got to the amount alleged and that people alleging should go back to Elementary school. Mr. Lai ,you should know that you're the mouthpiece of the government and it behooves on you to critically analyse any argument raised in favor or against any government policy. The era where you insult people in power as an opposition spokesperson has passed.

For the umpteenth time, the argument is that the percentage is too high and should be reduced to 0.1% as the volume of transaction expected to flow through it is huge. So take your premises from there!

All money erroneously charged by the company must be returned.

How does a company erroneously charge Federal government of any nation?

Bunch of rogues.

Fayose was right to make things more public.

This Lai character should know that he is now a minister of the federal republic. His era of talking like a Motor park tout is over.

Instead of clarifying the issue, all he could say was that the money in the account was not up to 2.5 trillion.

1% of 800 billion is 8 billion still. That is way too high for a 1 day charge mr Lai.
Even Barclays and citicorp don't charge like that.

Have you done any epayment before? Paypal, Mastercard, Interswitch, voguepay, payza, etc - If yes, what was the charge per transaction?

Fayose and the PDP are dabbling into matters they are ignorant of and twisting it for political grandstanding.

Lie Mohammed should know know he is the minister of information and not APC spokesman, throwing insult instead of address issues, ive not heard him talk about the current hardship Nigerians are facing due to fuel scarcity and lack of power supply, our national grid have gone to all time low of 480mw. He should address these issues anyway am waiting for fayose's reply

No 1% is collected by REMITA, rather it shares 1% with the CBN and commercial banks. Fayose should learn to control his utterances. They do him more harm than good. During the campaigns, just because he wanted to abuse President Buhari, he ended up insulting his mother.
