Talk is cheap
mariahAngel:
YES! TALK!
And keep talking when something is not right.
That is what we expect of you, Mr Peter Obi.

Don't give this fraudulent administration any breathing space.

The man is a genius and would have made a big change in this 6 months the incompetent mandate thief is wandering around like a lost baby…a new Nigeria is possible with Peter Obi

Obi is a liar, a politician with short memory and he talks with both sides of his mouth. He just like to say anything his followers would like to hear, either it is practical or not.
National lawmakers have their separate budget which they even passed a law to keep it from the public eye following their face off with Sanusi back then.
Obidients should tell ignorant Obi that anything that those gangs in the NA want, they get it!
It is easier for them to blackmail the presidency, groundstand like Saraki did when he refused to pass the budget for than 8 months until they got what they wanted.
Obi doesn't understand governance at all. Not that I support those crooks at NA, but you as a president, you are powerless to cage them. They're the kings of the three arms of govt.

Most of you obidients are senseless and ill-educated. Do you think this forum is made up of your mob only who can't do simple fact check and critical reasoning but feed off anything that drops off Hundeyin's anus? Even if you never had any basic Economics lessons before, you should know what you just wrote can never happen in a million years.

Lagos debts both external and domestic stands at just above $2bn ($1.2 bn for external debts and 994bn Naira for domestic debts) as at Q2 2023 while Turkey's budget for 2022 alone stands at $239bn. Can you see how foolish you sound now? I've added links so you don't need to argue, but read and educate yourself properly.

Who make their budget? If it is not on their budgetry allocation they might add it the next year as long as no one influences their budget.

The truth is that the executive can't control their spending because executive are wasteful as well.

Imagine president official care is Toyota Highlander, and the ministers are using Toyota spider, how dare the executive demand for Prados?

The truth is that in the ZOO no one cares about the low life animals. All they are there for is to wreck the remaining part of the ZOO.
I don't have problems with you calling Nigeria a Zoo o. If you are in the country, that makes you an animal too.
What I am against is the lie by Obi that the NASS won't buy the vehicles under his watch. That's wishful thinking and an evidence he doesn't know how things work up there.
If the President decides to be using Toyota Hilux, nothing stops the NASS from using Bugatti, if it's within their budget for the year.
I've always been of the opinion that allocations to the three arms of government in any given year should by law be pegged to a small percentage of our recurrent expenditures and the annual take home of any politician, including the President, shouldn't be more than 100 times the minimum wage.
Unless we legalize the amount beyond which they can't spend, every other thing is nonsense.
They prepare their own budget and the President has no power over how they choose to spend it. They are not under any obligations to emulate the President frugal lifestyle either.

Below is when he distributed exotic cars to traditional rulers in Anambra.

By the way, how will the executive stop legislatures from buying their official car? Shey Obi don’t know the difference between executive and legislature ni?

He's too dumb and self absorbed to understand that.

Techwriter:
Sure that's why Nigerians voted you. unfortunately the man that was not voted happens to be a criminal and he stole the mandate. Now he's punishing everyone for not preferring him

He ensured only criminaly minded individuals stayed in decision making positions. From Akpabio to Gbaja (the US convict)

Then paid a few hungry and jobless people to be on social media and nairaland defending their criminality. People willing to sale their generation for a morsel of bread

South East rigged for him. How many northerners voted for him? grin grin grin

Tinubu is buying Yacht and NASS is looking for 160M SUV but you aren't bordered because you've no brain to understand that they're mortgaging a future you don't seem to have
Sense is far from you. I pity you if your own future is at the mercies of Abuja politicians. Sorry, I decide my own destiny.
So in your stupidity, you think the President decides how the NASS spends their own budgetary allocations?
He even said "if the President is not buying the idea". cheesy

Obi still thinks it's the state settings where he can decide not to hold local government election for 8 years.

Happy he is coming out strongly to clarify things and totally condemn what amounts to the theft of our collective patrimony.

For it is only in a third world fiefdom that one can see such crass ostentatiousness in the midst of crippling poverty.

It is unimaginable that Nigeria should permit such expenditure on items of administration when those in tiers below them can hardly afford to transport themselves to work on account of the cost of living crises they should be solving.

It is like a man goes to the doctor to treat malaria and his clinic is filthy, full of mosquitos. How come any sane person will support this.

The other day on this forum a man was lamenting that his boss pays half salary yet buys a new car and everyone in unism and without exception condemned it as wicked.

But when it comes to politicians that offer practically nothing some see it as acceptable?? Is that not madness?

He is saying the truth. Nigeria is in a deplorable state, we don't need to fritter away 60b to protect the legislathieves from the very people that voted them in. That house filled with opposition, it's quite curious how they've been silent on this matter-as they enjoy their cars.

Didn't you see and hear Nigerians fuming at the 160 million naira per SUV? What people here are saying is that Obi as a president won't have any power whatsoever to stop the lawmakers from buying those SUV's because it is backed by law, it is from their own budget, Obi should have known better as a presidential candidate.

The are are a million ways the President can stop it of he so wishes. If he has the moral capacity and will to do so.

Just instruct banks through the CBN not to honour such invoices. And if the vehicles are already inbound instruct the Customs Service not to clear them, period.

Force them to buy local, in naira.
But it can only take a President that stands on a moral high ground and is himself walking the talk of prudence or :buy Nigeria'.

But when Mr. Ptesident intends to spend lavishly on himself, family and friends then the cycle of avarice continues.

As a matter of fact it is the NA that fights today to have a wasteful yacht expunged from the national ledger, what a mess.

Failure of moral leadership everywhere you look. No one cares.

If Mr. President says 'no more!!' then it will take a gutsy legislature to do otherwise and then the court of public opinion will certainly bury them. On this matter leadership is everything.

Re: SUVs for NASS members: Nobody'll Contemplate such Under My Administration - Obi by Reference(m): 8:40am On Nov 10, 2023
In order to defend anything (unfortunately to their own hurt) I can see folks here already arrogating enormous, over the top powers to the Legislature and by so doing 'belittling' their own President. That he cannot do anything about how government resources are spent.

So what happened to all the so called 'Executive' powers. The powers by which gasoline subsidies were removed without the approval of the legislature.... the powers by which judicial pronouncements are disobeyed....

Some even suggest he may be impeached.... because he will not allow a legislator to buy a 160 million naira automobile.... see how low some citizens have sunk.....sad.

Where on this earth or in this country will a legislator stand if the government and the people stand together and say NO.

But we are where we are today because everyone, government and the people have agreed that Nigeria must be mismanaged.

So, saying dat Peter Obi dash hundred of cars during his campaign is a big lie.

Be sincere, this is not about cleaness of hands but holy-holy self-righteousness. Buhari already played that card and look at where he landed us in Nigeria. Obi will be more nepotistic than Buhari. His administration will also be more biased and corrupt.

There is no Angel in politics. Trust politicians at your own peril. Whether it is Tinubu, Atiku or Obi. They are fighting for their pockets and the betterment of their cliques. Accept who you have now as the President, do your best in supporting the Nigerian project. Tinubu and those he have put in office are trying their best.

...With what Buhari handed over to him, a budget that didn't feature fuel subsidy payments, yet people expected him to continue paying the thieving cabals just by waving a magical wand. He stood his ground. Naira is appreciating. Those behind Nigeria's evil ordeals are crying daily. Emefiele is engaging prayer warriors for being the scapegoat of the sins of his treasonable evil ambition against ordinary Nigerians.

Emefiele sold the soul of Nigerian forex to Dangote and his fellow northerners in charge of BDCs. Let DSS carry all of them. Let EFCC probe them. Let EFCC start with Bawa. Please don't forget Magu and all Grass-cutting contractors.

Pepper him well well, he will confess what they did with all the mansions, cars and money they seized from people. They will vomit the names of who they sold them to.

Although by now, we ought to have seen a staggering difference in the price of rice and other commodities since the southwest borders have been opened and bans have been lifted on rice importation. Obi couldn't have done it better.

Were any of them Toyota Prado's? The problem is not buying vehicles for lawmakers, it's why not buy made/assembled in Nigeria? Why speak from both sides of the mouth? We're told to patronize made in Nigeria products and those that should be leading by example are buy foreign.

Tinubu is part of the evil in Nigeria ...he's part of everything wrong in this country...

You're nepotistic too while trying to play smart...

So the President approves legislative arms budget? shocked shocked shocked
If you can provide a link where I can read more on how the executive approves (as against propose) any budget of any kind, I'd be happy to learn. Thanks.

Erm...the President can derail the importation of those expensive vehicles by issuing an executive order that favours local car manufacturing companies.

Now, admittedly, the legislature can also override such a decision; although you and I know that such a move will prove unpopular at time of serious economic hardship - since it would invariably pit Nigeria's legislative arm against the masses.

I repeatedly called for Jonathan to align himself with the people and not squander the goodwill afforded to him, during the early days of his administration, for the same reason.

There are many ways to skin a cat if the will to do so exists. wink
