See the open display of foolishness on the front page. Nigerian youths are really lazy people! The President listed reasons why the money was paid. Cited sections of the constitution granting the President express rights to make withdrawals from the consolidated revenue fund, he even cited previous scenarios where Ex presidents withdrew from the same fund without recourse to the NA and in tandem with the constitution.
But these stupid and lazy Nigerian youths together with their agbero mentors in the NA are not interested. It's just tragic that Nigerians don't know who their real enemies are in this country. If you think Saraki and Melaye are your friends and they give a hoot about you, you're the dumbest person in te world.

Sometimes I sit and wonder how some Nigerians really think that Buhari is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria. Let me tell you, these senators collect millions a month for doing nothing. I'll point our some of the ignorant rants.
1. Northerners are dying and idp camps are receiving less aid that'll before. Yet they failed to call all the AIGs and DIGs to the floor.
2. Over 150,000 of the 350,000 policemen work for vips, yet the IG was not summoned.
.3. Dino was arrested for conspiracy to commit murder amongst other offences, the IG is immediately summoned.
4. The 2018 budget has been with the assembly since last year. Yet, they are worried about stupid issues like reordering of elections.
I'm sure you can think of more.

Left to me, I think the national assembly is a waste of resources. We either remove the senate or the reps. It's too expensive to run.

I know some people cannot understand what is happening to Nigeria under this administration, but I can assure you that, Nigeria's money is not been misappropriated and everthing Buhari is doing is for the good of the country and its people.

People seem to forget that, Jonathan took out 21 bill N dollars to fight biko haram only to use it to pay people to be elected. 2.1 billon dollars my people. Imagine he took 1.5 billion to buy the jets and stole the remaining 600 billion. By now we would already have 36 fighter jets, and with the one buhari is ordering it comes to 48 jets. Tell me, how will book haram hide in sambisa again. We go bomb them to hell fire.

Anyway, I know a lot of you are not satisfied but try to look at things and reason critically whether buhari is really the cause of this nations woes.
Under the last administration, someone had 34 million dollars in his apartment. And another had 11million dollars in kaduna. the presidents wife had 5million dollars, which she claimed to be medical expenses.

Please, let us give buhari another 4 years and send this pdp thieves into oblivion and irrelevance and also make sure their children never get a political appointment again.

After buhari, we would hand over to the youths.

U read but u didn't understand, they made no errors, the govt can withdraw money from ECA without informing the Senate, it's a normal thing that has been done by past govt. They are only making the issue clear for all to understand, there was no error here.

Just the same way you jailed Obj, Yaradua and Jonathan for the same offence, right? Why do we like to play into the gallery in this country? Oh, it is Buhari/APC and everyone just realised that the constitution has been breached! Hence, the need to make scapegoat out of him.




Since we will not be jailing anyone if another peson has committed the same offence and not been jailed why play to the gallery with Dasuki and Patience Jonathan when the grasscutter remains untouched??

Is that Daura logic??

Why bother prosecuting Saraki? Is he the only ex governor in Nigeria?


That is a specious argument.


The truth is this many of us are non partisan we do not care about Buhari Jonathan or any other personality. Pleae do not try the deceit that Buuhari is different .

He is EXACTLY THE SAME as the others. He cannot even manage the health budget of Aso Rock.


All the hypocrites talking about the cost of senators are correct but they did not ask the cost of Buhari the cost of Osinbajo , the cost of Aisha , even the cost of Yusuf or how Yusuf got money to pay for his bike.

What about the Ministers. What is the monthly running cost of a Minister like Fas hola , I have no doubt this will run into tens if not hundreds of millions just like we saw for Adebayo Shittu


Till date the graasscutter is free,the $43 millionscandal is buried and no one






Please do NOT tell me BUHARI is different. He is EXACTLY THE SAME as Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan in terms of corruption. He is also a hypocrite and a bigot

Buhari is just forming holiness to defraud Nigeria n Nigerians,what stop him from presenting the sesame documents to the National Assembly immediately they were received while soliciting for their cooperation n prompt action,buhari in his delusions feel he alone is righteous,he alone has the interest of the nation at heart but in reality like a chameleon he is only cunningly fighting for the interest of the Islamic core north n nothing else,i pity those who are not seen through him n blindly urging him on despite all his glaring flaws as if the institutions of the country not longer matters,they are only supporting the dangerous setting of very bad precedence.

The dullard keep referring to the past stupidity of the condemned 16 years of PDP to justify his angelic government.

What a set of morons.

So it was cool when PDP did it and want to come back to continue it. But a high crime when APC did it even with the explanation and emergency nature of the deal. The confirmation of the sale by the USA government of the deal showing no middle men or diversion of funds cannot placate the enemies of Nigeria.

APC should now know which of it's members are moles of the opposition for even entertaining this rascality. They should now know who and who should no longer be entrusted with the party tickets in the next elections.

If they were truly patriotic and it's not mere politics, the legislature could have launched an investigation into the payments and make it's findings public. If it shows the transaction is far from national interest, then you can talk of reprimand or impeachment.

The question is that why are these expensive?

Check the specifications my boy. It makes a lot of difference. Afghan price is even higher than some other specs, the six would have cost $60 million for a lower base type without add-on but they are paying $174 million for 6 pieces. That same specs will cost $348 million for 12.
So do you know the specifications for the the Nigerian order, is it more or less than the Afghan spec?

I will tell you why we don't just move on.

We need to settle the constitutional position so that there is no ambiguity in the future. If he can appropriate $500 million why not $10 billion ??


The president has acted unconstitutionally and that must be acknowledged . He spent money unlawfully and unless we are saying this should continue that must be established.

Even if he is not impeached then when he leaves office he can be jailed .He too can get a taste of what he is doing to Dasuki and Patience Jonathan

I would be happy if the National Assembly move on by Not touching the matter at all.

When he leaves office he will still face the music. Immunity lasts while you are in office and when you leave you can still be held accountable
The fact is there is no excuse fo not consultiing the National Assembly other than that he decided he was going to act regardless.
If there was a deadline so what? Why not consult them? No more phone? No more dinner? All those dinners he was organizing for them was for what?

Are the senators less aware than the public? Were we not all here when the $1billion was approved by the council of states or so for security purposes from the ECA? What steps did the legislature take to engage the council or the executive since the news became public since last year?

The need to purchase super tucano fighter planes had been public discussion since last year all over social and regular media, did the entire legislature miss the discussion?

It's obvious they were only waiting for the payments to be made in order to raise and galvanise their opposition to the style of this government which is strange to them. Their regular ways of milking the system has been blocked and they are very uneasy.

They want to ride on the pain of the unfortunate recession and use blackmail to return Nigeria back to days of earning without working for the select few.

Their eyes are fixed on burgeoning foreign reserve and higher crude oil price of the recent few weeks

There has to be a balance of trade.

And besides, you can't compare US fitted systems to its Brazilian alternative.

The difference in sophistication is high.

My problem is not with buying from America. I have issues with the jets bought.
We can get much better jets even from America.

I just hope those shiny American helicopter gunships are part of the negotiation.

One major advantage of the Tucano is the extremely cheap running cost. It cost about $500 per hour to keep it operational. While it cost thousands of dollars for regular jets per hour. Remember when the Chief of air staff said they spent 400million plus for fueling the Jets.
And do you know intial cost is just 15% of the total lifecycle cost of most fixed machine while 85% is running and maintenance cost. For flying machines the intial cost might be less than 10%.

They don't have money to run the next elections as they didn't make enough to repay the debt incurred to win the last one of 2015.
Now you know why they are very cross with the president.
