Barcanista... I guess U will av to go for course on How to play opposition..
To counter ur Irresponsible Points.

The running mate to retired General
Muhammadu Buhari in the 2015 presidential
elections, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday
explained the ‘Conditional Cash Transfer
Programme’ included in the manifesto of the
All Progressives Congress (APC).
Prof. Osinbajo speaking on Sunrise Daily said
“this programme is to lift 25 million of the
extremely poor Nigerians; Nigerians who earn
less than N200 a day to take care of
themselves and their families”.
Prof Osinbajo, who noted that “we have 119
extremely poor Nigerians”, added that the fast
way of dealing with that is the Conditional
Cash Transfer Programme.
“We will give N5, 000 to the poorest 25 million
over a phased period, if their children are
enrolled in school and participate in
immunization.
“So we are actually doing two things; we are
giving stipends to the very poorest and
ensuring that in order to earn that stipend
they certify two conditions”, he said.
He further noted that the party decided on the
25 million figure because that is what they
can deal with in the first phase, adding that
“we are looking at phasing it over a period
because it will cost about N1.35 trillion to do
so if we do all 25 million at once.
He maintained that, if elected, the programme
will be done in batches of 5 million people a
year, adding that “depending on resources we
can even do more”.
He said the N1.35 trillion they are proposing
for the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme’
is not so much compared to the AMCON
bailout of “persons who are in debt, many
businesses and businessmen and it cost N5.7
trillion to do and that is a bailout of the
relatively wealthy”.
He argued that the Conditional Cash Transfer
Programme will be an injection into the
economy by the beneficiaries, adding that it
enables “them to put some money into that
economy.
“This is the government’s way of not just
energizing the local economy but also
ensuring that people are empowered. That the
very poorest are given a real chance in life”, he
maintained.
Prof Osinbajo also spoke on how his party
intends to tackle the issues of unemployment,
security and corruption.

Who cares of its feasible or not?

The only reason I voted Jonathan was to gimme light cos it's affecting my business.. He failed woefully and he even raised fuel price to add salt to injury...

How many Nigerians wait for government to feed them or their kids... People want basic amenities and support from the government for the small scale businesses and they will feed their children themselves.

If Buhari can provide electricity, refineries so issue of subsidies won't be coming up whenever they looted the treasury dry, and gave us basic infrastructure... Forget the free food.. Nigerians are not that lazy to be waiting for government to feed them or their family.

I just downloaded, read and took a screenshot of all 20 pages of said APC roadmap.

I would be quite callous to expect them to deliver on all those. Those were actually written and graphicalized by good copywriters who had very vivid and idealistic sense of imagination.

I have always praised the PR and Media arm of APC, I hope they come up with some form of abracadabra to turn off to an appreciable level, the level of expectations Nigerians have bestowed on the incoming government.

My heart goes out to Buhari, who might not be able to handle these pressures and when they start pouring in, really I fear for his health.

Why has Osinbajo gone silent?

Why are there more news filtering in on Jonathan's loss and his campaign funds. Could this be a propaganda to quell the masses demand for 5k and free meals with the excuse that Jona finished all our money on elections (which might as well be a lie)?

Why is Buhari so party conscious, this is the same path Jona took (trying to placate everyone) and lost popularity with most of the populace.

The social media painted to me, an image of a man who is ruthless, who takes no prisoners....having read his recent interview, I must say this, I am not impressed, I have to point out though, that he made some statements that showed his selflessness and will to do the Nation good.....I hope his willpower sustains that.


Well, these are mostly random thoughts and I hope things pan out for the better in the near future.
Despite my convictions about the APC, a huge part of me still looks forward to a better Nigeria, a changed Status quo.

So help us God.

So help us God.

But how come I keep missing these threads.

Buhari the miracle worker already showing is no more of a usual man like jonathan. I only pity nigerians who believed the chanji movt. All APC states have been know to only cater for the rich. Even a fool knew the campaign promises were foolish but u bet the delusioned nigerians wants to be lied to. At the end of the day its GOVT of the people. The govt is a reflection of the people.





This is my experience, my opinion. Expect your mileage to vary.

The man has not even been sworn in you have started criticizing him.

For you barcanista or whatever you call yourself. I have seen go from being a staunch APC supporter to a staunch hater.

I wonder what could have caused it. You remind always of FFK.

That said, let me offer you and your people some advice.

1. You need to realize and accept that GEJ losing the election, was the will of God. With all the bribing and the huge treasure chest of the PDP, he lost. The man has accepted his fate, pls do likewise.

2. You must realize that Buhari is not working alone, he has people working with him. The people who thought of this, must have also thought of the funding.

3. Be that as it may, why not wait and let them get to work before you start to galvanize support against him. (your bitterness clearly shows in your posts).

4. Lastly, don't use GEJ's failing to judge Buhari's success. Please you and your people should stop praying that he fails so you can feel vindicated. Allow the man to be sworn in and get to work first.

A good Nigeria, will benefit everybody. That's what I want irrespective of party affiliation.

Thank you.

Re: Buhari Social Program: Laudable, Laughable Or Dead On Arrival? by san316(m): 8:48pm On Apr 19, 2015
Do you think ppl voted Buhari because of the welfarist programmes he promised? No!!! They voted him because they knew he could fight corruption and end impunity that has been the hallmark of GEJ's government.

As regards the cost of the feeding ing in schools and the monthly stipends for unemployed graduates, I think It is being pessimistic to believe it cant be done. If this program will be done devoid of corruption, I am sure the govt will spend far less in executing this.

When the govt boosts agric production and brings in the private sector, your calculations will be rendered void. Also, remember that GMB wants to run a LEAN government thereby reducing recurrent expenditure and cutting government costs. This will surely cover for any possible deficit


Lastly, it is too early to start crying even when GMB has not been sworn in. Wait for the right time.

That will be achieved now that Jonathan, who spent 2 trillion, half of our yearly budget, on election, has been defeated.

it is not hard to tell you are one of them Jonathan haterz. well, no problem. keep hoarding lies on him, nemesis will catch up with you. well here is a report from the presidency denying such allegation. this defamation of character by APC is duly unnecessary but am not surprised. that's how they roll.

if the person or party is totally destroyed and inconsequential, they feel threatened. apparently, they riding on Nigerians shoulders to do so.

Jonathan denies spending N2trn on
April elections, campaigns
on april 19, 2015 at 7:53 pm in news
Facebook Share Twitter Share
By Adekunle Aliyu
The Presidency has denied that it spent N2
trillion on April 19 election according to a media
report not Vanguard.
The Presidency through Reuben Abati, Special
Adviser to the President Media and Publicity,
made this statement on Sunady.
The statement read thus
The front-page story of the Sunday Punch of
April 19 alleging that the Presidency spent a
whopping N2 trillion on the 2015 General
elections, and that a Committee of Five has
been set up by President Jonathan to conduct an
audit on how the funds were disbursed by party
members and state officials is mischievous, false
and embarrassing.
The President has not set up any committee as
alleged in that story. It is also not true that the
Presidency and the Peoples Democratic Party
used state funds, or spent N2 trillion during the
campaigns. The innuendoes are wrong-headed;
the motives behind the story are suspicious.
The story alleges, for example, that the
Presidency spent N2trillion on elections and
embarked on a money-sharing spree to party
members, support groups and state officials.
The authors of the story and their self-
appointed megaphones further insinuate that
public funds were deployed in this regard. Their
allegation of a theft of public funds is extremely
malicious.
How much is the budget of the Federal
Government of Nigeria? The annual budget of
the Federal Government is a little over N4
trillion. The story is practically suggesting that
half of the federal budget was spent on
elections. This kind of reckless insinuation is
meant to incite the public and instigate national
crisis.
With FAAC having to do everything possible
every month to ensure disbursements and with
the Federal Government heavily committed to
the war against terror in the North East, where
is the alleged N2 trillion from the Federal purse?
President Jonathan and the People’s Democratic
Party conducted the 2015 elections in strict
accordance with the rule of law. The suggestion
of any unlawful conduct cannot be sustained
under any circumstances.
President Jonathan has done his best to protect
and strengthen democracy and promote peace.
He justly deserves all the accolades that he has
received from both Nigerians and the
international community for this. Certain
persons and interest groups may not be happy
that his profile has further risen and that his
legacy is assured; but they do their country
gross disservice when they act so unpatriotically.
Anyone who is engaged in imposing a crisis on
the country by any means is not being fair to
Nigeria. We can only appeal to the public to be
wary of such reckless tactics now on display,
which form the substance of an odd, malicious
campaign after the elections.
We are particularly worried that since the March
28 and April 11 elections, some persons have
continued to work very hard to diminish the
Jonathan Presidency. They need to be reminded
that the time for politics is over; it is now time
to focus on the in-coming government, with
emphasis on national development and moving
the country forward.

Goodluck Jonathan spent more than one trillion which was not accounted for in the budget on elections. Buhari will use such slush funds in the welfare program.

Lagos state government was able to fund their operations for many months without federal allocation . And today their IGR is in ten folds what it used to be.

The worst of Buhari is definitely going to be better than the best of Goodluck.

I wonder why a man that is sane, we believe that such promise is achievable; when Buhari has started complaining of the huge amount spent on recurrent expenditure @ d expense of capital expenditure. How can he increase the same recurrent expenditure by 1.8trillion and expect our country to develop. In fact, is dead on arrival. That is political expendiency that will always override economics rationality.
