15 NOVEMBER 2013

Also, $1billion was proposed for distribution to complement shortfall in expected revenue." The $1billion is a compromise by the FG over its words in September not to augment shortfalls anymore.

Responding to the presentation, the chairman of the States Commissioners of Finance and Ebonyi State Commissioner of Finance, Mr Timothy Odaah, lamented that the statutory allocation was getting smaller and smaller. "It appears this is the worst in terms of returns. This is the least in allocations as far as this year is concerned. We are mourning the dearth of funds and this is a wakeup call for states and local governments to buoy up their internally generated revenue."

While appreciating the "magnanimity" of President Goodluck Jonathan to approve the $1billion from the excess crude account and to be shared among the federal, state and local governments, Odaah expressed disappointment with the returns made by the NNPC.

He said that [size=14pt]the states had requested for $2bn[/size] to complement for the shortfall in revenue but got only $1billion. In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue. Odaah raised issues with the statutory allocations of previous months.

At times I wonder if God is really watching over what is going on in this Country.
How can very few people be this wicked and evil to over millions of Nigerians
Yet God does not do anything to them

Firefire:
It is well...

bezimo:
Can the corruption in this Buhari government get any worse. The Forex racketing fraud perpetuated by government and presidential officials is monumental. Just look at the effect of their greed on the masses. What a shame!

The useless APC government has already outperformed the previous Democratic and Military government of Nigeria as the worst ever.

May God run the lifes of all them that helped bring in this demonic and oppressive government the same way Nigeria is been retrogressively managed.

Buhari4dullard:
No vex oh!

I no hear people screaming for stadium!

But national airport?

I beg, ur dullard na the worse thing to happen, everybody eye don see am.

Well we should not be surprised, the man no go school

Viktor1983:

These militants and their sponsors including those cheering them should better embrace dialogue. Also pursue reasonable demands.

I don't want to hear he is a tyrant and committing genocide, we the Army start using them for target practice and pounding their communities.

This is a man who understands exactly what to do. Has a track record of victories. And has the political will to keep Nigerians safe across the Federation.

Kidnapper, Terrorists, Militants, Arm Rubbers, Criminals - find something legitimate to do with your life. The next President of Nigeria is NOT into Military-Costume-Wearing. He is a Retired Major General. Trained in Nigeria, India, United Kingdom and the United States. He is an over performer. He is not shy of the Facts. Our Senior Military Commanders will not eat Military budget and clean mouth under his watch.

Don't mind those that tell you that Nigeria Cannot be Changed. That things can't be better. They just want to keep looting. When they exhaust their lies, they will start mocking, insulting and posting cartoons.

While PDP are hoping to rig themselves in, Buhari and the entire APC team believe you have the capacity to elect Buhari with your votes alone. Let see who wins (PDP Rigging vs The Votes of the Masses).

This Change is Unstoppable. Sai Buhari. 5days to go!

leghagha:
It goes to show most of us don't understand the problem at hand.Will she increase the price of oil to over 100 dollars

oduastates:
You collect salary on Friday, take am jolly for Saturday, come dey wonder why you no get money for food on Monday.

pheesayor:
your second picture was posted online by me sometime in 2011 and it is my Alma Mater Festac Grammar, the building was no more in use but has now been replaced with a modern storey building.

You're so engulfed by hate I wonder if this is the anonimi I knew in the early days of nairaland.

finalboss:
Mr. President, if you want to leave a credible legacy come 2019

Onegai:
They are playing politics with even fertiliser supply and some people are here defending it to the death

vislabraye:
I don't think you understand economics. The Emir even exposed the naivety of this government in forex. If Buhari is nit responsible, then what is he responsible for ?

Keneking:
Fayemi that was rejected by Ekiti State is now travelling to Australia

RedCapChief:
The freedoms we had taken for granted are now being eroded.

Remember back then, when we could call the President a clueless drunkard and not get arrested for it. Those days are gone. Body language has changed.

Daslim180:
What happened to our freedom of speech and expression??

vykte:
this is the body language from the top... one of politicians once said if the head of a fish is bad......

Onegai:
Everyone screaming "Buy Nigerian", you don't understand. I used to say that as well. But I know better now.

It costs more to buy a Nigerian finished good compared to its foreign counterpart. Labour, infrastructure, lack of power, lack of tax incentives and technology, all these make Nigerian goods hard to compete with their foreign counterparts (whom have solved all those problems). Which means even though my salary has not increased and I'm buying Made-in-Naija, I'm spending the same or more to be patriotic. And worse, I'm being patriotic to a country whose own government is not serious about fixing those problems or even enabling its parastatals to do their jobs and make sure the Made-in-Nigeria goods are of a decent quality. I just found out proof of this is a hard way that would have cost me a trip to the doctors and we even saw Water Bottling companies breaking laws with impunity, even Cway has not bothered to dignify the public with a response to the fact a dead frog was found in its product. Then someone will tell me to sacrifice my family for the betterment of the Nigerian economy? When my own government runs abroad for Healthcare and Education, I am to stay here and be patriotic? When my government is rewarding its cronies with contracts to import fuel instead of slash their salaries and pour it into the power sector and Transportation sector and make it easy for any manufacturer to source for materials locally and abroad, am I to sit tight and wave the Nigerian flag and watch my children suffer?

Is this what I voted for?

Lagos is a cosmopolitan city built by all Nigerians and foreigners in Lagos.

Ajibel:
Do you realise that Lagos increase in revenue brings about an increase in population which in turn leads to pressure on existing infrastructures in the state?

So if you are thinking that Lagos revenue would be able to cater for the deficiencies in infrastructure, sir, then you are the one who I'm sorry to say is ignorant.
