How the hell could you support a government that plans to spend approximately N1 billion in feeding its first and second citizens.The estimate indicates that of the N18.34 billion budgeted for the State House, about N1billion would be spent on providing food for the president’s household as well as that of his deputy.

A further breakdown shows that taxpayers would have to cough out approximately N477million to pay for foodstuffs and “catering materials supplies” for the president’s office. The taxpayers, most of which are poor and frustrated, will have to fork out an additional N293 million to provide “refreshment and meals” for the president’s comfort at his home and office.

Yet, an additional N45.4 million would be needed to buy canteen and “kitchen equipment” for the president’s household, although similar purchases were made last year.

For the vice president’s office, the foodstuff, catering and materials supplies are to cost N104 million, while cooking gas and cooking fuel will consume N6.2 million.

Refreshments and meals at Mr. Sambo’s office and home are estimated at N20.8million. Then separately, another N45.4 million has been allocated for purchase of kitchen and household equipment at the state house headquarters.

At N70,000 a month, the N1billion budgeted for presidential feeding would pay the wages of 1,200 Nigerians for a year. Analysts believe that for a nation grappling with widespread poverty and growing unemployment, spending such an amount on food is wasteful.Even d richest of rich like carlos slim, Bill Gates nd warren buffet cant use dat amount 4 food. its vry obvious dat leaders dat re 4rom miserable background like jonathan wudnt knw how 2 b financially prudent.

Very very deluded. It seems he does not know what people are fighting for

Who cares if the government removes the subsidy. The people had always wanted the subsidy to be removed

the problem is accountability.

Am personally against you guys giving that nincompoo any attention. How do you keep on arguing with someone that only lives on his master

Dont give that vermin attention, just read below from his previous quote to educate your self about the BEAF.

I really can't undesrtand some of the donkey comments some clowns are making here. Do some of you think cooking for the Aso Rock is the same as simply going to market and getting a couple of yams?

In todays Nigeria where opponents are threatening mayhem and bombs are exploding? That is idiocy! Feeding anybody in Aso Rock is a matter of national security, and that
will never ever come cheap.

Hang yourselves if you like or go lay more bombs, we will crush you. Yar Adua's govt spent N405.3m in normal times, in these unsecure times that, has naturally gone up to N574m. Die if you don't like it, but Aso Rock will be kept safe and GEJ will continue to be President.

This is what ^^^your BEAF has to say about the over bloated 1 billion Naira Presidency feeding.

Beaf lost his objectivity a long long time ago.

He is like a few (thankfully, they are indeed very few!) people I know, for whom, if it is Jona, then it must be right.
Arrrgh! You mean GEJ is not capable of making mistakes, seriously??
Well, I got news for you all, this time around, he has really bungled it and we're out to get him bacl to his senses.

Why all the hullabaloo? He is paid to be who he is for God's sake!

Beaf is a soldier of fortune. He is only out for his pay and to hell with morality or suffering of the masses.

his name alone implies that he is sick

Would you expect more from someone who feeds from the corrupt government?

No.

All in all, he's an ldiot.

@Rhino.5dm
i rest my case,

nothing

nothing
