Rotten smell.

A failed system called Nigeria

joetem:
You are one of the reasons naija isn't going forward, so ambode should honor them with state Treasury? You seem not to know what's going on underground....
Elders and the traditional rulers even said in interviews that ambode refused to share money for them as usual, ask what their job is to be collecting such huge amount as honors on regular basis and acting like Lagos is their papa estate?

FarahAideed:
Lagos State is the most looted state in Nigeria and it's looted entirely by just one greedy geriatric man and the strange thing is that gullible Lagosians applaud him for his looting expertise

‘What’s your headache?’ — Tinubu confirms bullion vans brought cash to Bourdillon on election eve



https://f5p3e9e4.stackpathcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Bullion-Van-at-Tinubus.jpg


After voting in Alausa on Saturday, Tinubu was asked about the vans, in relation to the ongoing elections, and he said: “Bullion vans? Are those ballot paper?”

“Excuse me, is it my money or government money? I don’t work for government, I am not in [any] agency of government. Let anybody come out to say I have taken any contract from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last five years,” he said.

“They should prove it. I am on my own, and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend in my premises, what is your headache?

“Excuse me, if I don’t represent any agency of government and I have money to spend, if I have money, if I like, I give it to the people free of charge. As long as not to buy votes.

“So, who are those watching my house and looking at Bullion vans? They must be mischief makers, they report falsehood, their lies are numerous, and its because they are jobless.”

Tinubu was a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from 1992 to 1993, and governor of Lagos state from 1999 to 2007.

Speak solutions.

veraponpo:
Did you see South Africa in the first 10? Did you see Egypt there? That is to tell you that there are many factors involved in GDP growth. When Commodity Prices fall, every economy depending on such may struggle for a while. The 3 largest economies in Africa: Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt are not growing int the rate at which small economies are growing.

For the record, what happened in 2012 to 2014 wasn't Real Economy Growth but Rebasing of our Economy thereby using paper works to 'deceive the world.

That was the same time our Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy said Nigeria was borrowing money to pay salaries, what manner of Growth is that?

We had nominal explanation of growth only based on Oil Prices and Rebasing of our Economy then .

There is a paradox that needs explanation there.

How many Likes for this man

AnanseK:
They are both using state funds, current state funds for Buhari and looted and saved state funds from Atiku.

SoNature:
Admitted, Nigerians have sworn that this country will never work.

But that doesn't mean elsewhere government doesn't run oil companies successfully.

Have you heard of China National Petroleum Company?

How about Saudi Aramco?

These are state-run multimillion-dollar oil behemoths.

I just pity the generation that will come after us because we just loot resources and don't keep anything for them.

As a matter of fact, we have a lot explaining to do.

If as the 6th highest producer of crude oil, we don't have functional refineries and we are still the world's poverty capital, then Nigeria has no business existing as a country!

It needs to be recolonized!

ZikZikZik:
Buhari government and giving false hope

kponkedenge:
So we are still planning further steps for this long? I watched a video of a Mozambican man being burnt alive on twitter yesterday..... And South Africans surrounded him and were videoing him.
I just felt sick watching that. I hope AU and other African countries individually take stronger measures against South Africans and their businesses outside their country.
The truth is that, these has been going on for too long and we were hoping they will change, but they haven't.... And it will only get worse if we don't take stronger measures on them.

Mariory:
Link does not work.

Fake news!

The Supreme Court however frowned at the appearance of a Principal State Counsel from Federal Ministry of Justice, Abdullahi Abubakar for president Buhari in a personal litigation.
The Supreme Court held that the action of the lawyer contravenes the Provisions of the code if conduct for public officers.
The panel cited the case of former American President Bill Clinton, who theoughout his tenure never engage in using public funds to run personal litigation, adding that same must be applicable to Nigeria since the country is copying the American system of government.
Abubakar had announced his appearance for the first respondent (General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) in the suit.
They warned him to desist from such act of using public office to defend a private litigation.
“Clinton in his numerous private litigation, he never used government organs but rather personally sponsored all his private cases,”.
Odili in her judgmen held: ” The court notes the inappropriate appearance of Mr Abdullahi Abubakar state counsel from the Federal Ministry of Justice, representing the first respondent Gen. Muhammad Buhari Rtd in his personal capacity.
“This practice must be discouraged, appeal haven been withdrawn is hereby dismissed,”” Odili said.

I wonder why those people above me are criticising Tuface. He said the truth. Stop shifting the focus from the matter on ground to the celebrities. You really don't know what goes on in people's minds. Because they're not talking doesn't mean they're not aggrieved. I'm not a fan of most of these celebrities, but abeg make una chill. Una dey complain say them nor dey treat una well for other countries, but una dey here dey hate on celebrities because them nor talk. Hypocrites!!!

‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’

Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.

“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed the previous administration for the lack of funds due to the embezzlement witnessed in previous governments.

He said that this was the 17th budget he would be debating as a legislator and noted that not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable.

“It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go. `That is, we should make every effort to have the real sector-agric mining and manufacturing.

“The budget deserves the support of everyone, including my colleagues on the other side. When we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us,” he said.
