I'm starting to find it annoying when party leaders now feel it is their right to tell presidents what to do or announce what they'll do.

Meanwhile it is a good thing that the incoming govt would be spending on sensible things..things that need immediate attention

Pavarottii:
We are in for a long ride. My conclusion is that Nigerians will reject their actions during the last election.
I just dey laugh...
Got a feeling that Nigerians will beg GEJ to come and govern them again.
Let's watch out how the 4 years plays out.
Is it the chairman of APC that will tell us about account. If they know they couldn't do the job, why did they fight tooth and nail for it. We don't need excuses, nobody forced u there. If u can't do it. GET THE HELL OUT oF THERE! But they won't because they want to steal.
If majority of Nigerians can be decieved by these cronies and their fake change.
Me I can't be decieved. They will suck us dry without doing anything. They are already telling us that projects will be stopped for now even before entering. And GEJ has been commissioning projects frm 2011 till date.
Sorry Nigerians, but the truth is that u will be shortchanged.
This is serious ONECHANCE.
Please let the opposition not sleep, to put this LIARS on check.

olawalepopoola:

And yet some claimed PGEJ was the best thing to happen to Nigeria. 4.1 trillion naira debt! OMG! This is ridiculous. I am sure PMB is capable of tackling this.

rawpadgin:
good!
i have not be paid for the past 3months

& the flimsy excuse my company is giving is that government have not paid dem

make i see the next excuse wen dem wan give

shadowgwalker:
you guys didn't reg with IPPIS? If so, then that office must be ghost mode. IPPIS pays directly frm CBN without FG approval. Its an automatic pay system for civil servants.

luvinhubby:
I hope you are not encouraging the recklessness & financial irresponsibility of these governors?

juman:
You see!

Bit by bit this country got destroyed.

Can this country get it right?

It is difficult to say yes.

A country with all it potentials grounded on it's knees by the clueless, greedy and nothing good to do "leaders".

nigeria of today is not the nigeria where I was born. This is renew destroyed nigeria.

rawpadgin:
am not a civil servant.
my company have a contract with shell

shadowgwalker:
oh ok... I see, that means its from next month. I pray they must pay u guys ur arears too.

Kingspin:
We have 36 states and the capital Abuja sharing just one oil. Any time this country is serious u will know, we're still playing politics.

Proffdada:
. OBASANJO & YARADUA DID NOT
LEAVE ANY DEBT FOR NIGERIA BUT RATHER LEFT HUGE
SUMS OF MONEY AS NATIONAL RESERVE FOR NIGERIA.
JONATHAN (WHO IS NIGERIA'S GREATEST MISTAKE)
MISTAKENLY BECAME PRESIDENT ON MAY 2010 AND BY
MAY 2015,IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT JONATHAN HAS
ACCRUED A DEBT OF 60 BILLION U.S DOLLARS FOR
NIGERIA
$1 = N228
60 BILLION DOLLARS × 228 = 13.7 TRILLION NAIRA
(interest excluded)
IF NIGERIA PAYS BACK 5 BILLION NAIRA EVERY MONTH
13.7 TRILLION NAIRA DIVIDED BY 5 BILLION NAIRA = 2740
MONTHS
1 YEAR = 12 MONTHS
2740 MONTHS = 228 YEARS
IN OTHER WORDS,IT WILL TAKE NIGERIA AT LEAST 228
YEARS TO REPAY THE DEBT JONATHAN OWED (interest
excluded)
THIS CLEARLY MEANS THAT OUR CHILDREN,
GRANDCHILDREN,GREAT GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT
GREAT GRANDCHILDREN WILL STILL PAY WHAT
JONATHAN OWED.
Now,who says JONATHAN is not BADLUCK?

egift:


The law-enforcement agencies are there to prosecute them if need be. But my comment is in support of any effort to ensure that ordinary Nigerian workers in 28 State of the Federation that currently owed, get their wages paid.

Kingspin:
Sharing oil money is that how the country will be run forever. The early the better o.

egift:


The major part of the Buhari Administration's economic policies, will be the quest to diversify the economy and open up other channels of revenue for States and FG.

Ezenwammadu:
Why should federal govt pay salaries of state workers.Each state has governors and has federal allocation.Why shouldn't they work hard to generate internal revenue if they feel that the allocation is too small.

Nigeria is cursed with the worst set of governors

Kingspin:
If the states cannot key-in the FG will have little to offer.

egift:


Majority will. I look forward for a competition among states for Internally generated revenue. The more money they generate, the more work they can accomplish and also the more they can loot.

If incentives are given, platforms offered - many states will key in. Take Dry-Season Farming for instance, many States were not involved under Jonathan. I see more States participating in it. Also if there is a monitoring arrangement in place to ensure that money collected is use appropriately, it will boost harvest and revenue to States.
