Dutch diseased economy...

Oil prices are falling....and as a result....budgets are falling.

PDP's economic policy....which relies on international oil prices.....is not working.

Looks like if PDP wins....there won't be anymore transformation projects in GEJ term 2!

PDP.....making Nigeria poorer......

Not forgetting Enugu - PH express way, et al.

There are more better ways the govt can adjust to the economic realities on ground.

The over-bloated wage bill of the presidency and National assembly members is a good place to start.

And almost 50% of the national assembly are APC members who are shouting change like bus conductors to their hypnotised, blind followers.

Is that not the national assembly Sanusi said spends 25% of our recurrent budget

What does APC economic policy of sharing N5,000 to 25 million people for a total of N1.5 trillion in 12 months rely on if not Niger Delta oil revenue

What does APC economic policy of Osun, Edo, Ogun, Lagos, Rivers, Kano rely on if not Niger Delta oil revenue?

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

What have they done all the while when they where giving the ministry N270billion? the
minister should be prosecuted for inept ineptitude. Nonsense. Anyway this is what happens when the government is controlled by prehistoric pen-robbers.. Diezani uses 10 billlion naira to service only her jets. Nigeria is in soup.... We should all kiss capital projects goodbye.

This is the transformation gej promised us

Kindly tell us how much any of the 36 states CONTRIBUTE to the federation account.

Who and who are in government?
These are people with diverse interests who can go any length to appease their pockets unless their actions are checked by subsisting laws and media scrutiny.

We have done much harm to our democracy by letting the Legislature and Judiciary off the hook and piling their gross negligence and failures on the Executive.

It is only in Nigeria that private bills can't become laws no-matter how well they are framed and their importance to our national development. This is absurd to say the lest.

Of course you are right....but then again....the economic policy of many PDP states and our PDP govt that is in the Villa relies on oil revenues being good.

Now they are not.

In brief....Nigeria needs oil to be at $123 per barrel....before we can meet our financial obligations. Now it is at $60. And the slashing in the budgets.....even the National Assembly's is the result.

And all the sharing that you are complaing about....your PDP states are there too. Or tell me....are PDP states diversifying from oil into innovative industries? Are PDP states getting off resource dependency.

The issue I have with both PDP and APC is that they think....and you too BTW....that hawking resources will save us. Meanwhile....when you sell resources....you become a slave to the international market....which forces you to sell at its price. And if that price is low....sorry for you.

That is why I won't be voting APC or PDP this time. Infact....any Nigerian party that does not have a foolproof plan for getting us resource dependency...whether oil or agric....is not worthy of ruling this country. I don't care.....WHETHER you are PDP, APC or IPPPP. Nigeria must grow up and become innovative. The era of high oil prices is over. Time for some innovation.

So....STOP making this a POLITICAL matter,OK? This is serious....and I hold PDP responsible...because ultimately they are in charge of economic policy.If GEJ wins in March....he better start talking about a Fourth National Development Plan.And he should forget about oil. Oil is a curse.

Most of the contractors working on FG roads are doing so with loans from banks with the hope that GEJ wins. How they will pay back such loans considering that it's only a mere N11b that was allocated to FMW for over 203 projects is question for another day.

These ministry's are even useless. They should all be removed and let states manage their own projects,

I'm seeing the FG as a useless entity.

The concept of Federal and State roads and schools is stupid and will only lead to inequality.

Remove all these nonsense offices that do nothing but steal money and let states and local authorities take control of themselves!

He is right...in a way.

Most states exist to collect monthly allawee from Abuja. They do not develop local industries from the raw materials produced in their states.

For example...Kaduna produces lots of maize every year. There is nothing stopping the governor from having companies use that maize as the basis of an agro-allied, chemicals and biofuel industry....that could generate billions for Kaduna State every year....and make them less reliant on oil.

Ditto.....Kogi State and cashew. And many other Southern States....and Northern states.

But....it is far easier to collect monthly allawee than it is to develop innovative economies.

He has talked about reviving our National Development Plans to reinstate the benefits of long term, coherent planning for comprehensive development.

Moreover the Jonathan/Sambo team has steadily and progressively taken steps to DIVERSIFY our economy away from oil by focusing on

- agriculture.
- agribusiness
- manufacturing, automobiles, textiles etc.

Better to compare performance Abacha's regime with the performance of PDP governments.
