Is he helping all niGERians by preaching scarifice to them while enjoying N2.8m meal daily?

I can now understand the why JESUS WEPT. . . . . . . . .

amos, you never see anything yet. LOL

Lets give them a chance

iiiyyyk:
it is a great idea practiced in most well meaning nations.

but first, the enabling law like ten years prison term for any body that will be working and still collecting the money.

it should be conducted it partnership with nysc.

Mumu, who does not know it is a great idea just like subsidy removal But ideeiot like you would support it without proper planning just like the way they suppported the removal of subsidy just to get back at the hausa/yoruba

How can you give a so called unemployed gradutes money every month without social details and statistics of the country ?

Can a northerner do this and you ideeiot not insult him to bits ?

see how educated this people are, they don't even know the implications of monthly allocations without proper IDs and social security details of the people in the country.

[quote author=~Bluetooth link=topic=848082.msg9987032#msg9987032 date=1326827542]I'm thinking they cook the food in the presidential villa and everybody comes there to eat daily even the federal workers from NIPSS in JOS.[/quote]funny intellectuals ain't they

infact the same manny4life that said " Thank you" also brought out the link that made them look dumb. sorry for the words

In the link he (manny4life) brought out, it showed differenet allocations to different branches of the government from EFCC to NIB etc

Most of them that talk cannot even justify the reason for the removal now. All they know is "Give him a chance" without justification.

Bros you no see say Nigeria na funny country. LOL

Lets wait for Papabrown to come back and defend himself

I am really willing to hear what manny4life and papabrown would say ?

It seem like they just support everything GEJ without thinking or reflecting on what people protested for.

talknafree:
Now I am beginning to see clearly that jonathan's increase in Oil price goes far beyond the subsidy and government improving the lives of Nigerians crap he was spreading.

Now I can see exactly what Jonathan is up to. He probably wants Nigeria to collapse leaving the North and West standing solely, while probably the South east is merged with the South-South. The continuous attacks by Boko haram in the North on Christians is just to bring division amongst even the very same people of the North and those of the West.

[size=14pt]I think he probably have promised the South-South and South-Eastern governors that the chunk of the 'secret' money removed from oil subsidy will be to develop the region.[/size] Dieazi and Okonjo both are from the South-south and South-Eastern region respectively and the were the arrow heads of that policy. Sanusi only was used to speak on the Economy benefits to Nigerians.

I SMELL A CIVIL WAR!!!

of course, Go read the SURE program. Although he did not do the same to SE but SS yes

For example a state like kogi would get 5-7 billion from the 1.3 trillion

while a state like rivers would get 43-50 billion.

that was the whole point. Again he did not include the SE into this Allocation scheme and he is right to do so since they have no Oil.

doctokwus:
U still don't want to take correction[size=14pt].Each of those agencies u mentioned has its own budget& each dpt or agency just like d ministries defends its budget b4 d[/size] NASS.For your information(and please don't go further than this forum to show this ignorance)d presidency will include d ff:pres,vp and staffers that work under these 2;[size=14pt]even d office of d secretary to d govt has a seperate allocation[/size].What also comes under d feeding budget for them are state functions hosted by either of the 2.How can u evn feel that staffers under those agencies u mentioned will b included in d feeding budget,are they not paid salary that includes allowances?
Pls,I beg u don't display this annoying lack of knowledge,[size=14pt]D PRESIDENCY DOES NOT& CAN NEVER,NEVER include those agencies u listed,pls for God's sake,its ignorance taken to another level.[/size]

resounding GBAMMMMM !!!!!!!

But please lets give him and manny4life to tell us how the 1 billion allocation would somehow include EFCC etc

the famous GEJ corrupt supports would say [size=13pt]"Let give them a chance"[/size]

manny4life:
Thank you, I agree with your post and thanks again for educating folks like him as well.  For the record, attached is the direct link to the "Presidency Budget Proposal" which obviously hasn't been approved, however, the State House Headquarters Budget breakdown is totally different from other department and agencies that you listed. In other words, the president meals were actually N1billion when they were budget "President Office" in the State house Budget Proposal. You can view the breakdown for yourself.

http://www.budgetoffice.gov.ng/2012_budget_pro_details/1.%20Summary_Presidency1.pdf

errrr 6 billion of EFCC

that aside, please tell us how 1 billion worth of food would be shared by the president, efcc etc

PapaBrowne:
We can be very illiterate in our reasoning. Inasmuch as I think that Government is very wasteful in its expenses and I do not in anyway justify such huge expenditures, I would really like to ask a question:

Do you really think the Presidency is the President's house??

Please ehn, the Presidency comprises of over 10,000 staff which include 6000 on EFCC ALONE.
BPP, BPE, Due Process Office, NEMA, NIPSS and a host of others all belong in the Presidency's budget.

I am in no way holding sway for the silly amounts they lavish, but we must come to the table with credible facts!

eerrrrmmm sir are you saying the 1 billion Naira worth of food every year is also to be shared with EFCC etc ?

also 10,000 staffs for what sir ?

Rad1cal:
Foolish eejits, Lagos State that shed the highest amount of crocodile tear has some filling station selling at N139.

You see how crazy you sound thinking it has to deal with any activism

OP, start by fighting your corruption there and not look up to the EFCC to arrest politicians

which station is that in lagos ?

Obi1kenobi:
Why does everyone seem to be politicizing the recent anti-subsidy removal protests as a regional/ ethnic thing and peddling patent falsehoods that the Igbos were in favour of the subsidy removal?

For starters, I was in Enugu when the labour protests began and the civil service as well as the organized private sector were ground to a halt as workers abandoned work. The state governor had highly menacing security presence to prevent public protests and stifled the state labour congress culminating in the detention of labour officials. Only non-salaried workers like traders, transporters etc were open to commercial activity.

Even if the South East were more impassive in observing the strike action, majority still observed it. An organized sit-at-home strike is every bit as effective as street protests. The fact we weren't behaving like savages on the streets of the SE with hoodlums hijacking the protest to extort innocent citizens, loot and destroy property like their SW and Northern counterparts doesn't mean majority of us didn't observe the strike action. Last week, my mum who was going to visit her ill sister was serially harassed and extorted by hoodlums mounting road-blocks and STILL had her side mirror and head lamps damaged - is violent mob action the essence of the protest. Even if we were in support of the subsidy removal - which we weren't - it's our inalienable right to have a contrary opinion.

A lot of people use the word "bigot" often here without realizing the ironic twist when spewing their vile prejudicial stereotypes.

There have been faint suggestions of a protest against the insecurity in the North but some are saying we're on our own due to not protesting the fuel subsidy removal. Just shows how truly sick some people are where we spit on the sanctity of human life to score cheap points.

don't worry my brother. it is not the people par-say but the government who used tribalsim and brain washed the people.

it is alright, I mean already ur brothers are insulting you for protesting or observing the strike by A NATIONAL body which was ignored

jmaine:
If this are to serve as mere hand outs . .how long do they hope to do this and how many Nigerians would benefit these hand outs . . we have millions out there, how do they hope to accommodate them all . . .cries of marginalization would still surface at the end of the day . . .

If the NASS are very serious about concerns of the masses . .then they should: -

1) Pass the PIB law . .

2) Remove that gaddem immunity clause

3) Slash their alarming allowances and legal largeses they current enjoy

4) Seek to tone down the federal character policy that has aided the legality of the waste in maintaining 42 ministers, people not qualified to handle certain employment picked because they must fulfill certain constitutional requirements

4) Create enabling laws that would favor business entrepreneurship

And not by recycling cheap shallow methods that do not solve the underlying challenges to economic growth . . .

haba jmaine, LETS GIVE THE GOVERNMENT A CHANCE

manny4life:
Another avenue for FRAUD.

That money used to pay unemployed, if you had your macro and fiscal polices in order, there wouldn't be need to pay "graduates" who are unemployed. Certificate forgery is about to be at its peak, I pity my dear country.

Why are you pitying ?

GIVE THE GOVERNMENT A CHANCE, so they say

so give the government a chance, no be corruption people protest against and u people decided to give the government the chance so lets leave them to their judgement.

Finally.

Because we did not hear enough cry from that area

Nchara:
Good to see that he is showing you hot pepper in Lagos, your own backyard and guess what? He is using Yoruba policemen/soldiers to kill Yoruba hoodlums pretending to be protesting.

What is the name of the man who shot the protester in Lagos?

victor Okafor

but the dpo Segun transferred him and takes responsibility for it according to what I heard and read

logica:
Even by merely checking the name you go by I knew you ARE a Mor0n (with a capital "M". The Free Education policy of the Western Region did not only educate Yorubas; it was available to all Nigerians schooling in the region. If your parents were not so dense, they would have emigrated to the West so they would have been educated; and so that they would not have passed their illness (ignorance) to the Mor0n they call their child.

My brother, it is envy which has turned to hate

You see, they ask why alj harem hates them, well this is one of the reason why I do not like them. Why I am always against them on NL.

The arrogance they have is what is killing us as a country.

Alj Harem:

Take your grossly jaundiced and biased point to your father.

he also alj haram rigth. LOL good to know.

ebosed:
That Exactly is my point, you uncultured manner. GBAM!

dude trust me you are wasting your time

this people hate yorubas and for the fact you are one, they hate everything about you and would not even grant u audiences. Good luck bros

[size=14pt]You see

That is what we are telling GEJ but it seems he knows better than others.

It is sad that external governments have to be dictating to our government how to rule the people.

I remember when UN and IMF said the removal of subsidy was good, Beaf ,Jmaine, efisher etc all came and said "even foreigners said it is good" as if foreigners know Nigeria more than the people I mean they have never lived on the streets of warri, kano, Lagos or port harcourt before, how can they have a right economic and social political judgement of Nigeria I ask ?

It is a big shame that even at this point, people would still come and justify the removal now when the 2011 budget is not even over so the money made from now to april is awoof to the government.

Nigerian FG does not even provide water for her citizens and we still pay for it. I am sure in America and UK it is differnet.

Yet people like Asari dokubo, Igbo governors etc have tribalised the issue when they are also the problem facing this nation today.

A big shame.

dmainboss:
^^^ So who is feeding who? The last time I checked, you guys produce nothing and are feeding fat on Niger Delta resources. Please enlighten me otherwise.

hmmmmmm Igbos again from dmainboss to noiseless your wahala too much, please just  tell GEJ to give federalism. thanks

ebosed:
My Brother, Your Preposition Deserves Some Respect for your quest for knowledge. The regional government then have greater level of resource control, unlike what we have now - i hope you know what that means or just ask your parents if you are too young to know, except if they are canoe makers.

Actually awolowo educated everyone from the western region. including the igbo migrates from the east to lagos back then.

noiseless:
Have you finished?  I'm sure that you agree that some people where denied education cos awolawo subsidised education for his people only, and he said that coacoa was a cash crop that was found in yorubaland,so only the yorubas can benefit from it,as he believed nigeria was just a geografical expression while other leaders allowed their ressuces to be used to run nigeria.And yet despite all the free education the yorubas enjoyed all you can show for it is fake digrees and this braging of yours that you are educated than everyone and play 419 on them,that is what you know and do best, GET A LIFE PLS.

is it their fault that awolowo educate them ?

why the envy ?

maasoap:
Boko Harams have been killing you before subsidy removal but you people couldn't think of protests until Yorubas and Hausas staged internationally recognised protests that did not only force FG to reduce the price of petrol but also invite EFCC to investigate subsidy corruption. Myopic people couldn't see beyond their nose. Now they've seen what people can achieve by staging peaceful protests. In this one, nobody will hear cry, you're on your own.

it is ok. Lets show them we support them

Onlytruth:
I believe that the minimum wage must be increased to accommodate this. It is simple sense.

and inflation would increase with it at the same rate. back to square one

emmatok:
Better keep your protest to SS/SE.

If any Igbo try protest in  Lagos or any SW state, we will  send your back to your villages.

Haba, WE NIGERIAN SHOULD JOIN THIS MOVEMENT IF WE TRULY LOVE OUR NATION.
Omo yoruba na ni mi. egun-Awori

Note: the title should change from killing in the north = to killing by Boko haram

If they start the protest in Lagos, abuja, kaduna, kano etc, I would personally join and millions of other would INCLUDING YOU

Don't let this NL igbos make u dislike them. Majority of them don't think like Nchara and co.

Let join them and stop the killing of any citizen in Nigeria no matter the region they are in
