Yes.. When it is spent enjoying one's family, especially grandchildren.

Not in Aso Rock as a geriatric president..

Yes ke.

You can't decide for others where and how they should spend their old age. Nigerians are aware of Buhari's age before they voted for him massively. Stop hating and let the old man do the job he was elected overwhelmingly to do.

This thread is about Ogoni land clean up and nothing else. If you have nothing to contribute, stay clear and stop derailing the thread.

jerrywool:
Came across this. Food for thought.

Ask your governors and leaders what they did with trillions of naira that was allocated to your region through federal allocation, 13% derivation, NDDC intervention, amnesty office and the Niger delta ministry.

When will our president launch AGATU land clean up

What's there to clean up in Agatu? Learn to ignore a thread if you have nothing reasonable to contribute.

He ought to. Democracy has brought him unimaginable prominence, influence and goodwill.

The Senate Committee on Finance, on Friday, asked the Federal Inland Revenue Service to explain the rationale behind its decision to appropriate N16bn in its 2016 budget for the 1, 250 staff it planned to recruit this year.

It also asked the agency to produce details of the N1.6bn appropriated in its budget for its retired staff.



The committee also expressed concern over the agencies’ N700m budget for medical bills of staff.

The FIRS, had told the panel that the N1.6bn in its fiscal document this year was meant for its staff who retired last year and those due for retirement this year.

Chairman of the committee, John Enoh, told the Chairman of the FIRS, Mr. Babatunde Fowler and top staff of his agency during a budget defence session that the welfare package was quite outrageous because it did not spent up to that in previous years.

Enoh therefore asked the FIRS to present total breakdown of the proposed expenditure and also submit details of what it spent last on its retired staff.

He said, “We will need a presentation that tries to explain some particular cases of variation”

Members of the committee had also expressed reservation on the FIRS budget for its retired staff describing it as unreasonable since the agency was known for not spending such huge amount for such purpose.

The committee also observed that the FIRS proposed N350m in the 2015 budget and received approval of N148m but was only able to spend N116m out of the amount.

Enoh said, “We need to have a breakdown of this indication of this N35.9m as was spent for 2015. We also need the proposed expenditure of N1.6bn on this.”

He added that since FIRS claimed that it had not paid its retirees for two years ,it should provide the details of its last expenditure.

The committee also kicked against appropriation of over N16bn for salaries of 1,250 staff yet to be recruited in 2016 by the FIRS.

He said, “You may not have these people on board , maybe until the middle of this year and you have already allocated over N16bn. If you do common calculation,you would discover that the money is too much even for 12 months.”

The FIRS boss however explained that any amount approved but which was not expended, would be returned to the government treasury.

He said, “In terms of personnel, we are hoping that in the month of April, we will conclude the recruitment into the 250 and we hope again, that by June,mid year, we will bring in a thousand other people.”

Cc. Lalasticlala. This deserves front page. Let our idealistic southerners know how real politics is played.

I think most southerners are ignorant when it comes to playing national politics and not really idealistic. Only crassly ignorant people play politics with the infrastructural development of their states.

They don't have to honour the invitation voluntarily, when their attention is really needed, they will be forcefully bundled to DSS office. Nobody is above investigation, not even the president, not to talk of inconsequential state law makers.

tuniski:
He was there and that is why he remains spot on. He went there for something new and a possible ace by team buhari but, ended up with kindergarten talk. We are on a long thing with buhari/apc. Scammers/blamers!

As a participant, he should have come up with bright ideas on how to turn around the economy. But as they say, empty vessels make the loudest noise. He has no single idea on how to make things work. He is owing state workers 4 months salary now and all he does is criticise the president. He's just a very shallow guy who is trying to mask his failure with the constant criticism of the president.

You better believe it. Fayose is about to wreck the education sector in Ekiti state with is greedy tax policies and nobody seems to be concerned. Where in the world does private school pupils pay taxes to government?

Wike has come to stay

He might have gotten away with the electoral robbery that happened in Rivers state but trust me, justice will catch up with him one day. Justice Ofili Ajumogobia that was sanctioned by NJC has probably been in the act for so long before justice eventually caught up with her. So, relax and watch as Karma will catch up with Wike.

Federal government does not change dollar earnings into naira in the parallel market so, this your conspiracy theory is wrong. CBN manages and forex earnings of the federation and they do so by strictly using the official rate.

If you want to know the reason behind the current rebound, then you should find out the reason for the initial astronomical fall in the N/$ exchange rate and that is, speculation. Speculators created an extreme artificial scarcity with the hope that the president will yield to pressure to devalue the Naira. After waiting for so long without success, they have to dump the dollars they are hoarding and hence, the rise in Naira value.

When i wrote my first open letter to Headies on December 29, 2013, the majority opinions i got was that i was correct while others felt i was just an “Attention
seeker”. Headies as an award should be credibile and not just over hyped. We have hundreds of award shows every year in Nigeria and they are not as controversial as this one. Headies as an award are still not appreciating certain artiste, producers, entertainers and Dj’s who work 24/7 to make sure they bring out the best. They give us the impression that once you are not nominated or you do not win, you have not started your career;This is a BIG LIE. Over the years, All Ayo Animashaun and HipTv family have proven that it is Money over
Integrity and that is why he always ignores the choices of majority of Nigerians or could it be that they innocently dont even know what they are doing?
I am not here to analyse the faults of headies in full but you can read the other complains on twitter with the hashtag #TheHeadies2015.
Firstly, I noticed your hall was half empty. Your live broadcast that you always brag about had the picture quality of NTA channel 10 and your technical crew were going offline every time things became awkward and they immediately have to switch to “lyrics on the go” to cover up your shame. I watched BET African awards live and Mtv and i can see a very huge difference in all aspects. You still have a lot to learn. Another disturbing fact is that headies as an award is
creating bad blood among colleagues in the Nigerian music scene. Headies is the reason why we have not seen collaborations among certain musicians. Tell me why Phyno,Davido, Falz, Solidstar and many other music producers and artiste who have been topping charts this year where not recognized?

Now Of all the categories, this is the only one worth arguing over.Even though this is not a voting category, I stand by million of Nigerians to say that Lil Kesh or Kiss daniel deserve the award. What are the reasons? Lil Kesh has more hit tracks, Swag, Stage performance, Composure and in the long run Lil Kesh may last longer for years to come. Infact, i will rather invest N10m on Lil kesh career than Reekado’s. That is not to say Reekado is not hardworking or he does not have the talent but lil kesh has that special something. Infact Reekado still does not have any Hit track to date. Yes !!!!! I say that with all sense of authority. Songs like Corner, Sugar baby, Catapult are NOT hit tracks, they are just popular and they could have gone National but they are NOT hit tracks. Dont confuse a popular song with a Hit track. Let me explain, As a DJ if i dont play “Gbese” “Efejoku” “Shoki” “Reggae Blues” “Woju” “Laye” “Godwin” at any party, i will have loads of people coming to request for them but people dont disturb me if i do not play Reekado banks songs. Do you get the point? In fact another proof Reekado still does not own a hit track is that an average Nigerian parent who do not follow music still know songs like “Woju” “Bobo”, “Ojuelegba” and “Efejoku”. While i was writing this, i played reekado’s songs to the older generation and they claimed never to have heard them.
YBNL VS MAVIN
This was actually the most interesting part of the show for those who stayed awake to attend or watch the show. Now the beef is official and it is part of the bad blood that headies have caused. Olamide was not referring to anybody in particular during Adekunle Gold’s acceptance speech but  Don Jazzy had to mention Olamide’s name and the beef became real on twitter with Olamide referring to the Don as a “Bastard”. Don jazzy should NOT have mentioned Olamide’s name in the first place and  saying “he should come and collect the car if he wants”. Now people are taking sides and everyone saw when Olamide threw the microphone away and his beloved “red cup’ he poses with in almost all  his music videos. In my own view, It shows how unruly and empty he is intellectually. Olamide wants to be a Kanye west so bad and he feels he can do anything and go scott free. This was the same guy who cursed Linda Ikeji for reporting a story about his “love child” and claimed it was a rumour till we confirmed it was actually true. Baba Miliano (Olamide) your alter ego Kanye west started becoming responsible when he gave birth, when will you stop sounding like a thug in your songs and be a role model for those who are watching you? You refer to yourself as a Rapper but i say it to your face that you are now a bloody singer so shut up. I wonder why you where not nominated in the R&B category since you are now a professional singer.
Back to the Mavins, If we look at this from another angle, Reekado needs the car more than Lil kesh since Olamide already bought Kesh a black Range Rover sport around March, 2015. Instead of Jazzy to buy his “children’ (as he refers to his label mates) a car, he will be giving out free recharge card on twitter to buy peoples heart. At least  Reekado, Korede and Di’ja will stop going around lagos with Cabs.
In conclusion
All Nigerian artiste and producers, do not place your hope on the Headies which should now be referred to as “The Leggings”. Do not say because you where not recognized it means you are not trying, keep doing what you are doing and let the headies keep on doing what they are known for – NONSENSE.. !!! Do not forget to send your insults and blessing to the writer @Baddestdjtimmy and tell me exactly how you feel. I also need someone to clear this please, Don Jazzy said ” The organizers told him to call Reekado to come…So he left Alibaba’s show” Does that mean he knew Reeky was going to win that category? Cynthia Morgan was absent and i am sure the organisers did not tell Jude Okoye to tell Cynthia Morgann to rush down there. You be the judge !!!!!

"Let it be known to you that the gimmickry of your letter is not lost on any one. The fact of the matter is that the Buhari administration cannot have a character like you as an aide, no matter how hard you try"


Omo, see finishing!
Oga FFK, the game is up. Try another style, this your old tricks ain't working again.

Acidosis:

I hereby call for an outright ban of the poster. He is a shameless good for nothing liar, a thief, a rumour monger, a false hood evangelist and he represents evil. He should be banned.


Thank you.

Cool down bro and stop getting yourself unnecessarily agitated. Get a bottle of origin and a pretty young girl to help you calm down your nerves. All these your hyperventilation is not necessary. Fayose may be your god, but truth be told, he's just a typical corrupt and greedy Nigerian politician who is not worth the stress. You don't have to fight and abuse me because I don't like him. Tomorrow, we may find a common cause politically to support. So bro, stop calling for my ban, it ain't going to happen!

Pictured below is governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state browsing At College Of Education E-library

I think this is just another publicity stunt by the noise making governor to create the impression that he's a grass root leader.

D'banj always rocking with the big boys. He's truly the big fish of Nigeria's music industry.

These are not prophecies from God. They are just conjectures from the primate. Anybody that believe these shiit was inspired by God will believe anything.

in your dreams mak Buhari government pay you before xmas.. na juju? lol

I will remind you once I get my alert before xmas.

Sadly, no mention of the Metro Rail system..

Provision for the completion of the metro rail would have been captured under transport or so. You can't really conclude unless you see a detail breakdown of the entire budget.

That's our triple minister! Okunrin Meta fun rara e. Haters can keep hating, Fashola will keep soaring.

I don't believe this.

"Governor Ambode also put the total revenue estimate for 2016 fiscal year at N542.873Billion"


I will like to see the breakdown of how Lagos state intends to generate N542.8billion, both internally and from federal allocation.

This budget is a very bold move considering the fact that Lagos state's budget never exceeded N5billion throughout Fasholas tenure when crude oil price was at its peak. The 58% allocation to capital expenditure is very commendable if it can be fully implemented. Ambode may just turn out to be a bigger success than Fashola.

About time. The special one who transformed to the special loser and finally the Fired one. What a transformation!

They should save their energy for now, they will need it to welcome him back to his village when APC finally takes over Rivers state government house.

dabigwalls:
Celebration of salary payment. Disgraceful.

Nothing can ever stop you people from wailing. If they refuse to pay workers salaries before xmas, people like you will open wailing threads to castigate the president. Now that the government says it would pay before xmas, it is a disgraceful decision.

See, the only disgrace here goes to people like you who will be shamed when federal workers are paid before xmas against your evil wishes.

Our hans is full already with boko haram (sunni terrorists), we don't want another shiitey terror group in the country.

Real2020:
APC/GMB is overheating the polity....everywhere trouble. Nigeria might explode!

Nigeria will not explode and the polity is not overheated in anyway. In fact, democracy is gradually taking root and the court of appeal just gave a sound judgement that will help deepen democracy the more. People who rigged their way into office will no longer be allowed to benefit from their criminality.


If Wike want to continue as governor, he should contest and win a free, fair and credible rerun election. The last election in Rivers state cannot stand any credible legal scrutiny as we've seen. It was a complete charade. Kudos to the judiciary for ensuring that justice is done in this case.
