In addition, 2015 capital expenditure was 29.7% of total budget, while this government is planning to make 25% of 2016 budget. If take 2trn from 8trn u have a massive 6trn for recurrent expenditure. More than our total yrly budget for the last 10yrs. Are they really serious?

Their followers are mathematically and logically challenged!!

N8tn =$40bn budget, where does the govt want to get this money with oil prices down like prices of " pure water"?
Another option is to borrow to fund the budget, but IMF/World Bank must ask u to devalue ur currency and introduce austerity measures..
Also with budget, it means that for every N100 budgeted for, N25 goes to capital projects like schools, roads, hospitals, airport etc while N75 out of N100 is for paying politrickians like GMB, 36 ministers and their PAs, First and 2nd Ladies, NASS and political jobbers...75% recurrent expenditure is still a wasteful budget!!

2tn out of 8tn for capital project is 25%, which is even lower than OBJ and GEJ budget.. 75% on recurrent expenditure is another way to reward political jobbers. To much chopping money..

Leaders do this all over the world even in the most developed countries.... bot convenient though but it is not a strange occurence. I can even assure you that the 30cars and 30mins wait is a great improvement from what was prevalent just in the recent past so at the end, this is still a bit of an improvement.

False equivalence. Obama inherited an economy that was losing millions of jobs.. GMB inherited an economy that is being driven into a recession...let him perform let other world leaders... Btw, UK minister doesn't travel with a -10 car-convoy let alone 30 cars...

obailala:
Has this not also happened in every other regime in Nigeria since 1960?... I am not endorsing this but the big question is, why single out Buhari even when GEJ and all other past leaders did worse?... Can you prove to us that this rubbish did not also happen in the last regime?

Your hatred for Buhari will soon give you high BP... Bloody BreakingTimes Wailers and jonathanians doing what they know how to do best, Wailing Irrationally!

Back to Naija retarded mentality.. Everybody did it, therefore it's my turn to do it twice. Naija is toast!!

He should be talking to BH, their sponsors and sympathizers who are already destroying Naija.. Oh forgot, he has no balls to condemn BH in public just lik a GMB ministerial nominee.. Naija politrickians always pursuing shadows since 1960!!!

Hmmm.
This very old woman had a mother who died recently?
Looks like longevity is in their gene.

Runs in the family.. She looks agile and ready to go..
Grassroot democracy at work..

Actually, it was the federal government that approached the supreme court for a constitutional clarification on the matter. The court in 2002 affirmed that littoral states can not claim revenue generated from resources in the exclusive economic zone and the continental shelf as they are the exclusive preserve of the federation. That was why the onshore/offshore dichotomy bill was introduced.

Read that offshore boundary overed 200 nautical miles pre and post independence?

Could this argument be applied to fishing trawlers operating 100-200 nautical miles? Do they obtain permit from state or FG?
Does Naija constitution recognize state's right to protect its territorial water?
Can rights to territorial waters be concurrent?

Naija folks always justify their immoral/unethical actions by quoting God, but can never heed God's commandments like don't steal, don't kill, don't cheat

seunmsg:
I agree that the states should get some proceeds but it should be limited to resources in the territorial sea. At best, obasanjos initial 24 nautical miles proposal should be adopted. The present situation where litoral states are getting revenues from resources found in the exclusive economic zones of up to 200 nautical miles and up to the continental shelf is just unfair to other parts of the country. Even in international laws, the activities of littoral states/ regions are always limited to 12 nautical miles. The onshore/offshore dichotomy act is a serious mistake that was ignorantly passed by Na'abba and his colleagues back in 2003.

But the Supreme Court affirmed it when northern govs sued. Also, water ways and territorial boundaries are the exclusive preserve of FG.

IlekeHD:
Noisemaking. Did they also curve out Lagos state from Rivers?


Looking at the map, I can now understand why Ibos want the forced SS/SE relationship and their renewed claim on Ijawlands.

Arrogant display of sophisticated and selective amnesia...
Prominent Igbos like Alex Ekwueme helped in creating SS and he proposed more revenues for oil producing states.. Northerners and co called him tribalist/seccesionist.
Igbo Senate President and Igbo NASS members, all voted for NDDC and 13% derivation bill-- most northerners opposed.
Igbo govs sided with ND states when 19 northern govs sued ND and FG asking the supreme to nullify NDDC Bill..check out offshore and onshore dichotomy..
Same folks who don't want u to keep what belongs to u are the same folks telling u that Igbos want to steal ur oil.. Even a 1-yr child knows who wants to steal his/her toys...

Typical Naija men mentality that it's their job to help train and mold women who have little or nothing to offer... I have to come the conclusion that some men are drawn to women who have a lot of liability and baggage.. Most women would not even think twice if the situations were reversed!!

Acquired Immune Military Dictatorship Syndrome (AIMDS)
This is tomahawk punch!!!

Chidinho10:
Lools, this is Naija where anything can happen. Those guys are not 17.Dassal

Always dismissing emperical and superior argument loaded with a lot facts ... with Naija mantra-this is Naija- wonder if Naija defies laws of gravity as well??

Aufbauh:
The reasons for his agitation to me were plain & just unlike the needless, senseless and hate-filled campaign for biafra, insulting the sovereignty and dignity of Nigeria and Nigerians.

Pick your fight with BH..they are fighting against Naija already... What an arrogant display of sophisticated selective amnesia..

Shouldn't he be focused on BH that is ravaging the north?? BH that is pro-north, is waging a war against Naija and these folks are talking about organization that is harmless. Why is Naija birthed with confused and unserious leaders?

divinehand2003:
75% Of imported cars is tokunbo, Naija where are we headed?

Used cars hold larger market share in developed abd semi-developed economies.. How many people can afford brand new cars without financing in Naija??

Stunner16:
Don't say what you don't know! Go to Rivers State and see the change Amaechi brought about! That change is now going to happen at the Federal level..

Where can I see the change Amechi brought with $20bn in 8 yrs?? Pot hole and traffic gridlock.. Abadoned 7k monorail with $1bn spent while Ethiopia built a-75k rail with $4575m..

Points to remember: Naija forgave OBJ for mismanaging the country for 8years..Nigerians only voted for GEJ once and penalized him for mismanagement. APC is not going to last up to 4 years if keeps complaining. Time to start work was 6 months ago!!

Keneking:
This is great. As you can see, the case in hand is not comparable to yours. I can access your work on digital platforms e.g EBSCOHost etc and track the retrieval with doi and so on. However, if you look closely to the publications listed in this thread, it is completely the opposite

So publications that aren't accessible via EBSCO, Proquest, and LexisNexis aren't good?

Calling Naija politrickians role models is like calling lion a shepherd

Please speak and interprete in English!!! There is God ooh!!

Some men are predisposed to bad women. I know of guy who's always going out of his way to find a bad woman and believes that she can turn to a good wife. He's always gotten burned by these women!!

Loisemm:
I think it can be compared to the relationship between the CBN Governor and the Minister of Finance. We know who is superior

Nope!! CBN governor is not answerable to any minister. He's somehow not answerable to the president.

Stupidity and greed.. Naija mentality of taking without adding value. Just a like a politrickian who steals and and refuses to build a good hospital; hoping that he will be flown abroad to get treatment, but fastest flight to UK is 5hrs while it takes less 5mins for human heart to breathing

Super fantasy!! Where do u get $300bn to embark on such massive infrastructural projects?.

HungerBAD:
It is different.

The APC walked out on principles and morality grounds. But, why did the PDP walkout?to promote corruption?

What principle and integrity Do u even know the meaning of those words?? Amaechi, a man that spent $ 1bn to build abadoned 5km-monorail while Ethiopia built 75km high speed with $457m.. A man that managed a yearly budget of N500bn=$3bn for 8 yrs, he spent close $20-24bn in 8 yrs and Rivers has nothing to show for it..

Naija folks and their gullibility. Trump never made such comments. No credible source has written about it. In this age of social media, where is the video? No credible new sites even in Indianapolis have reported it.

Africans manufacturing idiocy and conspiracy theories since 0000BC

Tell me how u r going to raise $300bn to build a world class state.. Until then, you guys are drinking delusional cocktail

juicee1:
don't mind the protection seeker. Let him keep denying.

There is something about joining PDP; they make you play on ethnicity. When GEJ went to campaign in the anambra guber race, we all heard the tribal statements he and his cohorts made. He openly called yorubas motor park touts knowing fully well that the bigotic ibos will love such saying due to their deep hatred for the yorubas for no damn reason.

These guys did their best to turn the Ibos against the rest of Nigeria, now they are trying to pitch the Yorubas against the Fulani so as to create a confusion in the government powered by both tribes all because of a few miscreants called herdsmen.

I just wonder why they keep using thesame formula of religion and ethnicity that failed them big time.

Stop making ur delusional Naija look like paradise. GMB campaigned on ethnic issues and has appointed most northerners to juicy positions.. Bisi Akande, APC chieftain got mad and berated APC and GMB. Newly appointed SGF thanked Tinubu and co for selecting him cos norhern fulanis would have preferred one of their own.
