Kainene77:
One question Mr Ex-President, where is the money that was made when the economy was booming? Where are the savings that would help Nigeria and Nigerians make it through the rainy days?

Why did other governments build up reserves, why didn't you?

I am not sure who is more clueless, you or Buhari but you have this in common, cluelessness.

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
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.

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

Report uncovers 26bn Naira fraud in defunct Nigerian agency
20 october 2002

Lagos- Nigeria (PANA) -- An Interim report of a probe into activities of the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF), an agency set up by a former Nigerian military dictator to cushion the effects of a fuel price hike during his tenure, has uncovered about 26 billion Naira fraud in the agency (126 Naira=1USD).
The local press reported Sunday that the amount represented what contractors, banks and a consultant ripped off from the public treasury for unverifiable projects and services during the four- year existence of the fund from 1995 to 1999.
Of the sum involved in the fraud, the probe verified 11.
658 billion Naira as repayable to the government, while 14.
1 billion Naira was said to be potentially recoverable.
One paper reported that President Olusegun Obasanjo had ordered the immediate recovery of the stolen funds.
Another former military leader, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari, headed PTF, established by the late Sani Abacha.
President Obasanjo scrapped the body on assumption of office in 1999, and ordered a probe of its activities.

For example, Section 3(d) of the Code of Conduct Bureau and Tribunal Act states that the Bureau shall refer any breach or non-compliance to the Tribunal. However, where the person concerned makes a written admission of the breach, no reference to the Tribunal shall be necessary. It was on this basis that the case against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu was dismissed in 2011, by this same judge in this same Tribunal on the grounds that he was not given an opportunity to deny or admit to any breach before he was brought before the tribunal. This was the ruling that I relied on in making my case. But what did the judge say? That he had judged in error in 2011 and he had since realized his error and departed from it. My question is whether a Tribunal of first instance has the power to reverse itself. I should expect that everyone would be worried if justice is applied differently to different people. However, in spite of my fears, I remain hopeful. Why? Because the judiciary does not end with this Tribunal.

But come to think of it, this man might not be the devil we see him to be but because, he stepped on toes, he turned out to be demonised.
SP saraki, you forgot to study the moral constitution of APC instead you jumped in while practising that of PDP. It is a big offence to go against the will of Tinubu in APC.
I wish you victory.

Did you read the article at all?
While he was in office he renovated some structures in the said school and when he left office, he still undertook the renovation of more classrooms.
And by the way, the school in question is a missionary school, not government owned.

As for the politics angle, the area is not under his constituency, hence cannot be politically motivated. If there's one area that Obi did excellently well, it is in education. His funding, renovation and equipping of schools in anambra state is unparalleled with any state government in Nigeria.

Quakertellicus1:
On the other hand if we devalue the currency....and let dolalrs flow...prices would go up...and inflation would happen at a faster rate. (Inflation is happening...it is how fast you want it to happen).

Plus...from past experience....devaluing the currency officially...means that the parallel market too devalues....and the same round tripping occurs.

Either way...we have to get more forex.
