"The budget must anchor on the implementation of #MadeInNigeria and it must be reflected in public procurement". I paraphrased.

The President drives a German Merecedes Benz (just one of the many exotics in the fleet), same with the Senate President and the news of the procurement of Toyota SUVs and Peugeot for Senators and MHRs respectively is still fresh in our minds while Innoson is probably still there, struggling to keep it's head above the waters. Can't you take a cue from America? They are trying to build a new official car for the President, they simply sent their specs to General Motors (an American company) to build.
If the Nigerian government is the only customer Innoson has, I stand to say it is enough for the business to thrive well (and we can do the rough arithmetic). These guys keep taking us for a ride and make Nigerians feel stupid.

I know Jonathan's government (like her predecessors) dealt Nigeria a great deal of monumental damage and this man came with so much initial "gra-gra" to fix things but even from his own end, nothing at all. All we see is a body language that reeks so much of ignorance and unconciousness. You'd expect little things (that aren't affected by "oil price" like this to be quickly fixed, at least, through leading by example but alas...

Surprisingly, some of us will still come here and make excuses for them, "Oh! They can't fix this because...". Damn! Things have fallen apart and the centre has long lost it's hold.

Plus, am I the only one that feels like the 2017 budget hasn't even been passed or implemented (lol!)?
#Budgetforthem
My brother they know those they are fooling! My only fear is that we will repeat same mistake in 2019! #Budgerforthem indeed.

Your lineage is becoming foolish.
Do you understand the message being put across,that 'you report bad news about the goverment,you would have to source your news from those more sympathetic media'..
Of course you wouldnt understand because you only swallow whatever you are given and incapable of using your God given brain to analyze reasons behind any action.

you need to understand that some people are just to dull to think beyond what they are told to say...


what they fail to see is that the government wants people to hear & see only one side if the story...

there might be things that NTA & Channels might miss that a PT would pick & bring to the attention of Nigerians...

Honestly, my brother, just don't bother, your fears are confirmed already. You can see some people already campaigning for them on this forum already. Worst still, we have been wired to depend on the two major political parties to provide these leaders. It only makes political sense for the parties to prioritise their interests over that of Nigerians. So, if we have a candidate that's willing to the bids of the party even if it's at the detriment of Nigerians and there's another that wants to serve Nigerians over the party. Who will be given the ticket? Your guess is as good as mine.

The thing is there are certain wrongs in the Nigerian foundation and no amount of building on a weak foundation would solve it.

Where are the resolutions of the Nigerian National Conference that the previous government spent huge amount of money to convey?

In fact...

Some people are just annoying and I would contnue giving it to them till their brains reset.
Forget the incompetence of Buhari which could be excused by the argument that many leaders in even developed countries that promised much,fell way short and were voted out;what really irks me to the bone and for which I aint taking sh it from anyone is that the same bad decisions,poor judgement and outright corruption for which millions condemned Jonathan,is being perpetuated by Buhari,in many cases several times over,but some i diots have either decided to feign ignorance,overlook, excuse or hold Buhari to a different,lower standard!
That's outrightly wrong,fraudulent and sinful!!
I hated Jonathan based on his poor leadership,using basic,universally accepted parameters of judging leaders in office.What would I now tell my God if I am to excuse Buhari or judge him on different,poorer parameters just because I supported him!!!

Chairman,leave my lineage out of this if you are really a doctor and mature and civilized.we both know who is the foolish one here.i think you are the one that refused to brainstorm and critically analyze the news.if you did,you would see where the media restriction was carried out by legislative authorities.why attack buhari when the occasion doesnt demands it,why not channel your attack to the legislature or were you not taught that the executive and legislature are different and indrpendent of each other? With the way you are going,you will soon beat your girlfriend/wife and blame buhari.up apc.
