give me the wisdom to vote the slowpoke

Aso-rock, to Otuoke from where he
came aboard our ship, come 2015 my
lord,
And uphold our honour and glory so
help me God.

My dear i'd let my response be short and witty. Go ask the victims of Bokoharam and the families of the slain victims of immigration scam to find a bucket to weep and vent their anger since Federal Govt isn't the number 1 person in charge of our welfare any longer.

I see how much GEJ's six year rule have achieved- creating minds bereft of the feelings of real Nigerians on the streets.

Tell GEJ to go to Borno and ask the people to vent their anger on their L.G Chairman.

Unfortunately for you, no President will solve every problem in Nigeria and no President has ever solved them. When your god, Buhari, criminally ruled Nigeria for 20 months, he only increased our yokes. That was when manufacturing began to take flight in Nigeria.

Keep complaining. Don't go and find something to do. Brilliant minds have been exploring different opportunities found in the country. I hope you know of YouWin programme. People like you will sit in your house and complain that it is fraud while the smart ones are tasking their brains to produce winning entries. I know of at least five young guys that have been set up by YouWin. And they knew nobody in government-not even at the local government level. I helped two to work on their proposals. These guys give us hope of a greater tomorrow. Not perpetual murmurers and complainers.

This is wrong! Calling your president, the king of your land...a man the gods and God are behind as the king isn't a good practice! We maybe attrating generational curse on ourselves without knowing.

Respect the king of your land and let God and those in the decision making position to call the king to order.

Pls desist from cursing any king (good or bad) for your own good. Many forces are observing our daily actions in life, don't let what others are chanting lead u astray or incite u against someone even when u have little or no grieve against them.

Pls no offense intended.

May God have mercy on you and lift you out of ignorance! Is this the rubbish you get in your church. This is the mindset of an unrepentant pre-civilisation villager. Even in the things of God you must seek knowledge and grow into maturity.

I look forward to your answer, sir!


The pdp has a majority in the house and Senate. If they stand together there is nothing the opposition can do to block any bills or motions they propose. Tambuwal remains speaker, because he has enough friends in the pdp willing to vote for him, and the President is wary of being embarrassed if a vote to oust Tambuwal fails. How else do you think the NASS works. The majority party wins 99% of the time, so don't go blame shifting.

New jet for the presidential fleet? Didn't NOI just declare austerity for 2015? Why would GEJ ask for a new jet in 2015 when Nigeria's 2015 budget is bench-marked against $65/bbl of oil but Brent crude is struggling to trade for $60/bbl, and Nigeria is struggling to find buyers for its January 2015 crude oil cargoes? How important is a new jet to a presidential fleet which already has 8 functional high-end jets? Biko, what happened to austerity, eh, Madam NOI? Seriously?

This is not about blame shifting.
It is about shared responsibility in a growing democracy.

The NASS knows how to make plenty of media noise when they have their own personal agenda to achieve such as scaling the fence to ensure Tambuwal was not impeached, not so
Can you explain why they have not shown such solidarity in favour of the citizens whom they represent? Even if they do not win "against" the executive, please show why they cannot make plenty of media noise about their rejection of this aspect of the PROPOSED budget.

Some of you Buhari brigade members seem to be allergic to politeness. The presidency has many departments. Jonathan did not start it. Even when you god, Buhari, was in Dodan Barracks, there were many departments under his office. he had a 2iC (who had aides), he also had his own aides and he had departments that he wanted to oversee directly for optimal performance. The overall budget of all those units and departments is the budget of the presidency.

Is it huge? Yes it is and something should be don about it. If you looked at the budgets of 2013, 2014 and 2015, you will notice that the money allocated to the presidency is reducing. We will want it to reduce more. That is how it should be. If you argue this way, it is what we call constructive criticism. But if you come and make claims like the cost of the president's daughters' wedding blablabla which you do not know anything about and who even funded it, then, that is irresponsibility.

Learn to argue like a mature person. it's a virtue, not a vice.

Excuses, excuses...
Jonathan did not start it.... So bloody what?
What has he improved, what has he changed? Where has he made a positive mark that ordinary people can feel and see?

And what leadership has Jonathan shown to his party members in the NASS? Do we have his agenda, his priorities for legislation? Where is evidence of his own original thought? PIB is not his idea, the amnesty deal was not his idea... What has David Mark achieved in 8yrs? Is the president a man who demands efficiency, intelligence, honesty and integrity from the people he recommends for high office? Does it show? What is the transformation agenda but an empty slogan bouncing off empty stomachs of the public. It is clear even within the pdp that he offers nothing when it comes to leadership. 6 long years have revealed him to be a man in circumstances beyond his intellect.

FrankC3:
From this article, despite frantic efforts by SH to sound alarmist, it is still very clear that no new jet is being purchased, rather a trade in is being done for one of the available jets. For those who know, in such procurements, manufacturer trade in could be aimed at achieving sustained warranty support, equipment and spare parts availability and to save money in the long run. It is often more expensive to maintain an older model of a product than to trade it in for a new one with better features. That is part of why firms change even official cars after 3 years most times.

Is the size of the Nigeriam Government large, yes! Is this particular procurement a wastage, we do not have enough information to say yet. During budget defence, the leader of Presidential Airfleet will be on ground to present his reasons and APC NASS members will have their chance to engage in logic and not all this emotional outburst by farmiliar handles on NL.


It doesn't matter how hard you spin it, cut and dice it, it remains a very cruel, thoughtless and incentive request especially while advocating hard biting economic hard times and austerity measures..

There is absolutely no justification for another presidential jet unless they are ready to tell Nigerians that non of the 9 or 10 jets they have right now can fly or convey him from point A to point B.

They have more planes than many airlines for crying out loud. Even the richest and advanced countries don't have so many presidential planes, even some fly commercial...

Nigeria
The Nigerian Air Force currently maintains a
Boeing Business Jet (737) as a means of
transport for the President of Nigeria . The plane is
also known as "Eagle One" and is marked
NAF-001. The national colors of the Nigerian Flag
(Green, White, Green), are painted in long
horizontal stripes along the base of the white
fuselage, the words "NIGERIAN AIR FORCE" are
tagged on the top, and the Seal of the President
of Nigeria is embossed on the tail. In addition,
there is a Gulfstream V-SP, a Gulfstream 550, two
Falcon 7Xs, a Do228-200, and 3 A139 choppers.
The Falcon 900s (two), a GIV-SP, and G II were
all sold. A Citation Bravo and Hawker 800 were
returned to the Air Force. Nigeria happens to be
one of few countries of the world with a large
PAF.

The naira has been devalued, with no buffer, the minister of finance is still planning or maybe lying to plan on how they would put in austerity measures to manage the economy, salaries are being owed, S.A and P.A of the president are looting and doing projects that do not add value to the common man- they are still galavanting the whole world- the price of oil is dropping- and the subsidy is not dropping, projects are being done on paper and with the word of mouth as first class projects to be delivered in 25yrs and 30yrs - the presidential fleet has 10jets they want to trade in one and spend more on a new one- why don't they just start another nigerian airways- the masses are suffering whereas the presidency uses N1b to eat, too many misplaced priorities - they also says corruption is not stealing That's how we know people that cheated in school, nothing dey dem head- only WATER!! and that they have made a few Nigerians close to them billionaires with out manufacturing companies and reciprocating industrialization A disgrace to Doctorate degree holders- ha let me not forget N9.2b for stoves - what a shame!

May God visit the enemies of nigeria- with this kind of incompetent person- sometimes when I see the defence people put up, for this govt., it marvels me- do we even need as much as 9-10jets in the presidential airfleet - my answer NO! Why do we have them and a minister of petroleum would go and hire N10b jet NNPC funds and still take the house to court that they can't surmon her to face them? The structure of govt is clear- one makes laws the other administers and manages the economy based on their own belief's - that's why a NASS cannot stop the presidency from buying stoves and a jet- trade in yes - when the jets were being brought an open govt., would put all the objectives and warrants in public space for debate- and not tell us that it's a trade in when theu are adding another N400m to the so called trade in
