According to the government the money will be used as evidence and exhibit against those that returned the monies. Stupid talks by APC
Very silly and clueless statement from APC. It will amount to a miracle if APC and Buhari remains there by 2019.

Do not be deceived! there is neither recovered funds or 3 trillions anywhere else why is Nigeria in this sorry states and you have trillions? where is the wisdom in that? undecided
SleekAboki:
What is Mr Buhari doing with over $300 billion so far recovered or returned from the corruption fight? shouldn't part of that money be channeled into building more power plants? Why is 3 trillion lying fallow in TSA while the people's economic social and political wellbeing is zero? who is using the interest accrued from these funds?

I was shocked when I heard the president saying it. A group petitioned the presidency that he should publish the amount he has recovered through his anti graft crusade and what the money has been used for an also to name the names of those who refunded monies and the amount that was when that silly state was made.

Haven said that I think It's not good for a man to talk too much.

IMO, APC talked too much during their campaigns.
They got Nigerians to believe that the last administration was grossly incompetent.

Nigerians were so engrossed in their promises that they thought that once APC takes over interlocking blocks will start coming out from the ground to cover the ground for smooth walk.

Alas, they had no plan but talk and talk is cheap.

Fashola so nicely rubbished the power sector in the last regime that he said you don't need the brain of an astronaut to make power work in months.

Buhari was seated in the town hall meeting in Lagos when he made his analysis of the power sector.

PMB was so convinced that he handed over the sector to him.

Today we hear it's vandals behind power drops

Were these vandals there when Fashola was ranting? Yes. One will think he had solutions to vandalism.

If anybody I repeat, anybody still has hope with this government. ...examine your head and wake me up in 2019.
PDP killed Nigeria in 16years but APC is here to bury it.

1.On fuel...it is obvious....subsidy has to go so that marketers would have the cash to import fuel. Sure...prices would be high...but they would fall (see the GSM experience).

2.On power.....let's be honest....it is going to take ten years to fully improve generation, and sort out the wretched transmission system that we have right now. Either way...we must increase power supply because it is key to getting us off oil permanently.

hey dude stop deceiving the public, for the record the low price of oil have gradually and systematically removed subsidy, there is nothing like subsidy again, the landing cost of petrol is about 70 something naira. So what it invariably means is that for every litre of fuel you purchase , you indirectly pay tax to the government. calculate about 7 naira by 40 million litres of fuel on an average consumed in this country and tell me how much you think this wicked government is earning daily.

in your second point I agree that it would take quite some time to sort the power problem, Buh you know where my problem with this government is ? is that they have maintained the status quo of what previous government did in the past, this ain't rocket science. unbundle the power ministry and let regions generate and distribute power within their regions and let's see who would allow saboutuers to disrupt power in their areas.

Any body who believes in the government is on a long thing. The president is as confused as ever, the only positives I guess is only on the fight on terrorism, that's only if it can be sustained

The issue is that we are the enemy of our own selves. Why would some set of people be vandalizing oil pipelines when they know for sure it will cause hardship for others. They think they are discrediting federal government's effort not knowing they are mortgaging their lives and the lives of their children.
This case of pipe vandalism by the N deltans should not be taken lightly. I pray that God will give the wisdom to deal with these idiots

thr is no subsidy at the moment. abi u no hear price modulation?
the policy of buhari is that of zimbabwe.
u know the two countries hv 1 thing in common, they r lead by ancient n brain dead men!
nnpc is doing a job of 10 people, how will they deliver?
why not share the job to other marketers that r reliable so they can also help them?
dont tell me there is no forex, whr is nnpc getting its own forex to import?
dont forget they r now responsible for the entire imports of fuel which is 40million litres a day to nigerians. n the fed govt thru cbn gives them facilities which is dollars at the official rate of 199naira per dolls to do their transactions but deny other marketers both the major n independent access to forex at the same official rate.
what nnp need do is partner with 3 or 4 major marketers to assist them cos the work load for them is much.
n someone will say buhari is not the one calling the shot at the petroleum industry, who would reason like dis if not buhari.

Bros calm down, this is what happens when one think he knows it all, now I believe and agree that the dullardino calls the shot in every ministry cos am sure kachukwu with all his exposure in the oil and gas industry cannot prefer this kind of idea

This is no longer (if it has ever been) a matter of wailers. My friend in Abuja just told me today that he is ready to join in any anti-government protest over same issues of power and fuel supply. He said he had to get up at 2am to shower due to excess heat as a result of PHCN blackout and of course, he cant keep running fuel through out the night at nearly N200 a litre. My friend said it's been very bad in Jos, Plateau State and a gallon goes for as much as N1800 because a taskforce is chasing/arresting black marketers so it is now an underground market for fuel. A friend in Port Harcourt has been roaming from station to station like a nomad in search of fuel at official price. He cant afford to buy at N150. People, we are grappling with a national emergency! My understanding is that we have raked in money from recovered stolen funds and locked up so much in the TSA. It is in time like this that critical thinkers and out of the box executives/financial managers manifest .. we need prompt and pragmatic delivery of promised changes. Excuses have expired and are not acceptable/tenable.

even if all nigerians want buhari to fail cant he atleast prove us wrong? people said he is a dullard and he keeps confirming it. in chosing his ministers he placed square pegs in round holes...he made it a time to compensate people who helped him during the elections. How is that nigerians fault? Why is he surprised that things are falling apart? He is doing nothing, except ofcourse wasting our forex on trips abroad and he wants us to keep hailing him for taking nigeria backwards. I only blame myself for not going out exactly a year ago (March 28th, 2015) to vote for Gej. Maybe we wouldnt have been in this quagmire.

If you don't trust this government, you can still hope in it.

These are hard times no doubt, but lets take solace in the fact that under this government billions will not be stashed away by unscrupulous politicians as used to be the case.

Succour will come to all of us, its just a matter of time.

[size=16pt]Power did improve under the last administration. Why does it have to deteriorate in only one year?

When the new administration came in (and without doing a single thing) the further improvement felt at the time on account of work done by the just leaving administration was attributed to president Buhari's body language.

It was hailed as the change we are talking about.

So it s interesting to hear a PMB supporter now say "...it is going to take ten years to fully improve generation, and sort out the wretched transmission system that we have right now."

I don't know if you are a youth but this line of reasoning will not get us out of this mess ,we should be tired already. There is no subsidy anywhere, its government that is making money from the masses with the current price. we should force them to build refineries here that's the wise thing to do ,this will solve forex problem as 60% of our forex is wasted on fuel importation which is the highest. dollar will come down,there will be more jobs. talk about subsidy is diversionary, that encourages importation at the detriment of the masses but to the benefits of the ruling class ,the oppressors.

With your own analogy, the issue is that you got it wrong.
Moses took the children of Israel out of Egypt in order to take them to the promised land.
In our case, PMB has taken us from our measureable wilderness journey to the promised land, into a year of slavery in Egypt!
