With all sincerity, Buhari has almost quenched all the major security problems he met.

Boko Haram Takes Over Five Borno Communites In Fresh Attack

MAIDUGURI – At least five communities of Ladin Buta near Khaddamari village of Jere Local Government Area of Borno state have been taken over and destroyed by suspected members of dreaded boko haram sect who were armed with Ak47 rifles and petrol bombs including Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs).

Sources said. Jere Council headquarters is north east and just about 7 km drive from Maiduguri, the state capital. This development is coming barely three days when two out of the five displaced emirs of Askira/Uba Local Government Area returned to their domain after spending two years in Maiduguri due to Boko Haram attacks.
The sect members, according to reliable security source and fleeing residents, invaded the communities around 7pm on Tuesday and set ablaze many houses after killing 13 residents and injurying scores of others.

Khaddamari village is an outskirt north and a stone throw community to Maiduguri Metropolis which has suffered series of Boko Haram’s attacks in the past. A policeman attached to Jere Division who did not want his name mentioned confirmed the deadly attack and destruction of houses in the communities, according to him, he was at his duty post when they received a distress call that Boko Haram sect had invaded the surrounding communities of Khaddamari.

He said, they were helpless as there were no reinforcement from the military to repel the night attack, pointing out that, until this morning (Wednesday) that the Divisional Police Officer ordered his men to visit the areas. The police source revealed that after visiting the scene of the incident, the police recovered 13 dead bodies of residents with scores injured with bullet wounds and burns they sustained from the rampaging sect, adding that almost all the houses and structures in the affected communities were destroyed with no any arrest. All effort to get confirmation from both police or military authorities proves abortive at press time. Details later. 17 0 1

Yea well said, but a quality job well done shouldn't amount to this within a short span of time. This airport was upgraded to an int'l one after several modifications not long ago. it ain't supposed to be so, Stella nd her cohorts did a shabby project.

ba7man:
Typical.

If it's a Fashola project now, you would have written epistles with primary and secondary colours, littered the whole thread with pics and aimless memes.

You should do more.

Bigblogman:
Bush man stop supporting evil, if they did the right thing from the beginning with all those money we won't be talking about MAINTENANCE less than 4 years after.

But I heard that Stella Odua upgraded it to American standard...

Giving people false hope with employment ...which was a scam..
My mother worked for 2 years as a school teacher under one of his employment scheme...but she wasn't paid...for 2 years!

God is a great forgiver...but i doubt if he will forgive that....

Rochas is not fit to be called a governor....in any regard.

“I understand that I am not an economist; they (Federal Government) are the economists. But I have some logic and common sense to ask critical questions.

“For instance, if one buy flour at N10 per kilogram, and the bread was sold at N1 per loaf. If the price of flour drops, the price of the bread should also change,” Fashola added.

...Based on the excerpt, we can say Fashola did not rule out the possibility of errors being in his thoughts. His expression was a mixture of assumption (not being an expert), query and some little harmless politics. If you finish reading the right up, you would see that it was reported that he URGED the FG to...................... That is more or less a constructive criticism and not an outright assertion.

Fashola who blasted FG for its reluctance to adjust the pump price of PMS, made the remarks while addressing hundreds of youths at the Lagos State and After School Graduation Development Centre, AGDC, IGNITE Employability Project 5, Ikeja.

He lamented that Nigerians were not receiving fair treatment from the central government like others in oil producing nation.

Fashola said, “Now we should be enjoying cheap fuel if the price of oil has dropped globally.

Even as we import the product, a major component has reduced in price and while this has reduced, the pump price of fuel in the country still remains the same.

“Then something is wrong. If the price increases in the country when the price of oil goes up globally, then it should also reduce when the price of oil drops.

Moreover, if he says pms should be sold lower, it does not necessarily imply that it should be sold lower because the prices of crude oil has gone down.If I say, at 40 dollars per barrel, pms should sell at 100 naira per litre for example, this does not mean that I meant it should be sold at that price because the price crashed. It is a view. Can you provide a link where he said it should be sold at a lower price BECAUSE CRUDE OIL CRASHED? If you can do this then you win.Waiting.....

VictorRomanov:
Let's read for ourselves and draw our own inclusions, not what the media try to feed us:

naturalwaves:
I wanted to engage you initially till I saw the second picture you posted. So, you do not know that the price of crude oil varies inversely as the price of PMS. The higher our crude oil is being sold, the lower the price of pms. If we make so much profit from selling crude oil at a high price, pms will be cheaper and not the other way round.

Omooba77:
That is the truth of the whole matter; if only we consolidated on the gains from Agriculture in the last dispensation; things would have been different in term of food production.

If this is all you could bring out from the write up, then you must be a very big fooool. The link you posted showed lagos. If you had read well, you would have seen that he was talking in relation to lagos and the statement you wrote up dear meant that he needed permision from the discos and all.

Following Elrufai's claim that GEJ spent billions on independene day celebration, a civic tech organisation called BudgIT Nigeria wrote to SGF office to inquire about the truth of ElRufai's allegation. Here is the official response from SGF office as posted by @BudgITng.

Have your say about El-Rufai and propaganda in our polity especially by the ruling party. How do they earn our trust when they feed us with lies everyday.
This is elrufai's Oct1 post about the allegation.

very embarrassing! Buhari is a disappointment, this can not happen anywhere in the world it's just sad that non of them is able to resign his position just to shame this president, and can you make somebody a minister and refuse to provide him a decent house?

allthingsgood:
Did u vote for the ministers or the President? No minister earns less than N2million a month, so why is getting accomodatn a problem? Civil servants that earn 40k are doing the same work and have been able to accomodate themselves

Buhari’s Ministers Have No Accommodations - Kachikwu [VIDEO] by VillageParrot: 9:25pm On May 24
Ibe Kachikwu, Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum has said that President Buhari’s ministers have no accommodation, confirming an exclusive report by SIGNAL, which detailed how President Buhari walked out on a meeting where Ministers had demanded for decent accommodation.

According to the minister in a video footage, President Buhari has been unable to solve the problem of accommodation bedeviling his ministers. “One issue that we have been unable to solve is finding accommodation for Ministers. We have not been able to find money to do that. I live in my home, I’m sure he lives in his home”, Kachikwu said referring to another colleague who in turn immediately responded that he is squatting in Abuja.



Recall that SIGNAL had exclusively reported that President Buhari walked out on a meeting with a team of ministers who scheduled a meeting with him on behalf of their colleagues to make a case for decent accommodation. The ministers, led by Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung had sought the audience of President Buhari to acquaint him with what ministers in his cabinet were suffering when all of a sudden the President stood up and ‘excused himself’ leaving the ministers dejected and hopeless.

“The ministers have been facing serious challenges with accommodation and they put their heads together to go and see the President hoping that they could persuade him to do something. Dalung was the spokesperson of the ministers, Communication Minister Adebayo Shittu was also at the meeting. Where the problem started was when Dalung started making reference to how ministers got a nice accommodation package under previous governments. He actually said that under Jonathan, ministers were given N20 million each for accommodation. When he said that, Buhari asked if he meant N20 million for all the ministers and Dalung replied that it was N20 million per person. It was at this point that Buhari stood up and said he was taking his leave and leaving Osinbajo to “sort it out” with them”, an informed source told SIGNAL.

The Minister of Communication, Adebayo Shittu was only recently able to get an accommodation in Abuja after his state governor, Abiola Ajimobi graciously helped him with an extra N2 million, a source who did not want to be named also told this newspaper.

On his part, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung recently secured a low-key accommodation at Gwarinpa district of Abuja where he now resides.

Although, the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung denied the report, Kachikwu’s revelation on video tape puts paid to any speculations about the veracity of the initial reports on how President Buhari’s ministers had become homeless and stranded in Abuja.

However, not all ministers are groaning under the accommodation challenge, as a few of them are believed to be wealthy enough to afford any type of accommodation anywhere in the world. Conspicuously absent at the meeting with Buhari were the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola and Minister of Solid Minerals, Kayode Fayemi. The ministers are ex-governors and super ministers in Buhari’s cabinet.

Shym3xx:
So, being snarled-up, with mostly folks who don't contribute anything to the IGR, thus turning a beautiful landscape into the biggest slum in the world - is a solution, no? How many thriving multicultural cities the size of Lagos has the same population ratio? London? Paris? New York City?

There's a reason why these cities decongest from time to time and shed the population to satellite towns/cities. Excessive population is always counter-productive and it puts unnecessary stress on infrastructures cos no matter what you do, it will always amount to pouring water into a basket...with high crime rate, slums, destitutes etc.. That's the story of Lagos.

YerYer:
Lagos is still overcrowded. That's the main problem.
