Is Buhari's wife an elected senator? Is Buhari's wife representing a community? Is Buhari's wife a public office holder?

And here you speak of slave mentality when you have no mentality at all.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed yesterday openly disowned the N398 million being part of the budget estimates by his ministry meant for the purchase of computers.
.
.
.
A member of the committee, Senator Ben Murray Bruce had also expressed misgivings about the fact that little or no attention was paid to the core functions of the ministry and parastatals under it at a crucial time when Nigeria was at war in the North East.

“I want to ask passionately that they (Ministry/ parastatals) re-submit their budget, taking care of the North East.

because people are dying. This is not the question of spending more recklessly, I appeal that the budget be resubmitted, taking care of their needs in the North East; it is very important”, Bruce said.

Recalling that during the Civil War, radio was a very effective way of communicating with the public, the Senator added that this should also be employed in the war in the North East.

He said. “It would have made more sense for the information budget of the Army to be given to the Ministry of Information to equip these stations manned by NTA and FRCN used by the military as a source of communication.

“For instance, if there is going to be an air raid in a particular area, we can warn the citizens to stay off that particular area. The media can be used like when Buhari did in 1983 for War against Indiscipline, War Against Corruption, so National Orientation should use the medium that we have.

“NTA is a phenomenal network, it has more assets than any station in the whole of Africa today, NTA must be worth 400 million dollars in the open market today.”

Bruce noted that Nigeria is in a state of war as such it was important that national orientation should be in the fore front, followed by NTA and FRCN to be led by the Minister working with the military to guarantee that innocent lives are not lost.

The way figures are being thrown around in this country. So he gave Adams half of the money purportedly siphoned by the entire NNPC organization? Really? There's an epidemic brain drain going on in this country I swear it!

joseph1832:
Of course any body with common sense will know Ben Bruce is a scam. I wonder why they even take him serious. He's just feeding off the gullibility of the foolish multitude.

In just six years (1954-1960) as Premier of the Western region, Chief Obafemi Awolowo transformed the region through FREE primary education and scholarships for secondary and tertiary education to our bright forebears while building Liberty stadium, WNTV-WNBS, Cocoa House, Obisesan Hall, laying the ground work for the establishment of University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo university). All these was achieved WITHOUT Niger Delta oil revenue rather mainly on cocoa revenue based on the 50/50 retention/contribution formula then.

In just four years (1979-1983), Alhaji Lateef Jakande transformed Lagos state by reviving Awo's FREE education policy and extending it to secondary schools with even free textbooks. He ensured PUBLIC primary and secondary schools were available for all residents of the state, running multiple shifts as necessary while RECRUITING and training teachers by setting up LACOED and other Teacher Training Institutes!

In addition he established LASU, LTV, ferry services and started construction of the metro among other laudable achievements despite a shoe string budget from low crude oil price at the time. That metro project was cancelled by Buhari after his coup and locking up Jakande

In 16 years (1999-2015) the JagbaJantis crew has been ruining Lagos state education with only 2,000 public schools today out of a total 14,000 in the state. The 12,000 private schools are largely UNSUPERVISED and not monitored.

This ruinous record of the Thief'nubu cabal has been our lamentable lot despite:

- Annual budget increased over 10 times from N42 billion in 2000 to N489.69 billion in 2015. The state budget has been consistently above N450 billion since 2011.
- Annual IGR increased over 53 times from N7.2 billion in 1999 to N384.26 billion in 2013.

How did we proud inheritors of Awo's sterling legacy allow ourselves to be enslaved by this cabal?
Why did we let our INDIVIDUAL selfishness and greed bring us so low that we are content with PRIVILEDGE crumbs from Bourdillon rather than our rights to COLLECTIVE well being?

Karanka:
This is how a responsible person talks.
Not when you tell us falsely from the safety of your home in Abuja that Boko Haram has been defeated,thereby,making people to lose guard and relocate to the affected areas,only to end up as victims.

Firefire:
I am really worried about the increasing death toll...

Buhari said: “If you elect me as the President of Nigeria on February 14 (now March 28), I am assuring you that our government will chase Boko Haram out of Nigeria within two months because it is the responsibility of any reasonable government to secure the lives and property of its citizens.”

Obasanjo endorses APC moves, as party leadership visit Abeokuta
22.Dec 2013

The push by the opposition, All Progressives Congress, APC to dislodge the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP received a boost yesterday as former President Olusegun Obasanjo openly threw his weight behind the APC’s current initiatives.
The APC leadership, comprising some national leaders and governors visited him Obasanjo in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Saturday to solicit the former president’s support for the party in the forthcoming elections.
The party leaders, which started converging on Obasanjo’s Hilltop Mansion around 5:22pm, included former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the party’s Interim National Chairman, Bisi Akande; former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari; former speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Masari; former Borno State governor, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff; Senator Osita Isunazor; Senator Bukola Saraki and Lai Mohammed.
Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State came to the former president’s house in company with the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commissioin, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu; the former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and others in a convoy of three black jeeps.
Other APC governors at the meeting included Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abdulfattah Ahmed (Kwara), Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) and Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo).
The Chairman of the New PDP, Kawu Baraje led some of his members and the former Kaduna State Chairman, Yero Makama, to the meeting.
Presenting the party chieftains and the APC governors to Obasanjo during the opening of the meeting, Akande said the party was in support of the former president’s 18-page letter to President Goodluck Jonathan.
The APC National Leader, Tinubu who alluded to Obasanjo’s contribution to the building of the Nigerian nation, lamented that the country was divided more than ever.
Apparently referring to Obasanjo’s recent letter to Jonathan, he enjoined the former president not to shy away from speaking the truth.
Tinubu added that the APC had resolved to rescue Nigeria, appealing to Obasanjo to lead the mission.
“You’ve come out of tribulation and held the highest position in this country. We are here because of your courage. Nobody can say he has information more than you. You have surmounted a number of crises. Nigeria is divided more than before; to realise stable Nigeria, we want to encourage you to continue to speak the truth. We’re resolved and determined to rescue Nigeria. We want you as navigator,” he said.

The highlight of the political campaign was when Ambode sought to reinforce his stomach with Boli (roasted plantain)....' Body no be wood'

Renowned Political economist, Prof. Pat Utomi, has endorsed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and urged Igbos and Nigerians to vote for Buhari in order to restore hope to Nigeria.

At the unveiling of a Pan-Igbo group, Igboekulie, in Lagos on Wednesday, Utomi said Buhari’s coming would be likened to what happened in the United States in 1981 when the Americans were fed up with the Jimmy Carter administration with inflation as high as 29%, but it took a 70 years old man, Ronald Reagan, to run for Presidency in the United States, to turn things around and revive the American spirit.

He said Igbos have been branded as people who sell their votes to the highest bidder and therefore, urged them to vote wisely in order to shed this reputation.

“I think Nigerians don’t have any alternative in the person of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. I refer to him from my writings as the Buhari ascendancy. That reminds me of what happened in the US when I lived there with President Ronald Reagan.

“We had one wonderful, nice guy called Jimmy Carter as President. Things went so awfully wrong. Inflation was 29 per cent.” he explained.

Was Buhari the reason your master and his ilks raped the country's treasury dry?If GEJ who ruled during an oil boom era had increased our reserve to $100billion and diversified our income,will Nigeria be in this mess? GEJ was already borrowing to pay salaries by 1st quater of 2015..proof that the hardship was from him.Stop spreading your ignorance in public.

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



[img]http://cdn1.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/412x247xOkonjo-Iweala-e1442838220305.jpg.pagespeed.ic.nz-K0adxSv.webp[/img]



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.
