The Singapore we commend today and wish to visit was once like Nigeria. It took Lee Khuan Yew some illegal means, means that were not conventional, to reform the country.

Don't mind the chauvinistic zombie. That's how they've planned to fight corruption, oppressing women.

Their main mission, because they want Nigeria destroyed, is to worship and support anyone looting Nigeria dry under the guise of agitating for said individual's "human rights".

An average politician will make promises during election campaigns. Nothing new. Yes he was military administrator and petroleum minister, but did he use these posts to enrich himself? Is there any reliable evidence to corroborate any such claim?

If it was under the last administration

Jonathan would have divided the money into two, instruct the CBN to disburse it

Ngozi will sign it off

Dasuki will distribute it

Thank God for change

captainBIAFRA:
Groups suspected to be allies of former military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, IBB, have called for the probe of former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, on the alleged $16 billion power scam.
Addressing a press conference in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, recently, the IBB allies faulted civil society groups’ call that IBB should be probed on the alleged misappropriation of $12.4 billion oil windfall during the military dictator’s years in government.
The IBB allies queried the propriety of the white paper of the Okigbo report attached to the civil society’s statement with a question: “It is strange that the Federal Government is receiving documents from civil society when same document was declared missing by the Obasanjo administration. Couldn’t it be that the civil society stole the document?”
In a full page newspaper advertisement in a national daily today, where the IBB loyalties published the full text of their press conference, they also queried the rationale behind the civil groups’ call for the probe of IBB’s alleged $12.4 billion oil windfall when nothing was said of Obasanjo’s $16 billion power scam.
“It beats our imagination why this group which we are part of are using this particular time and moment to petition the Federal Government. It was unanimously resolved that we should point our searchlight on all corrupt governments in Nigeria. We only read on the pages of newspapers that the government should probe IBB on the so-called oil windfall, the loyalties wrote in the advertorial.
They dissociated themselves from the call for the probe of IBB, describing it as having a selfish, ethnic and sentimental motive.
The IBB allies were represented by Barrister Salisu Mohammed of Civil Society Movement for Justice and Freedom; Comrade Chukwu Nwabueze of Movement for Freedom and Equal Rights and Barrister Abiodun Akanbi of Human Rights Action Network.
Other groups include: Social Rights Advancement Projects led by Comrade Nasiru Dalti; Transparency Network of Nigeria led by Alhaji Saleh Mamman and Good Governance Coalition under Engr. Umar Farouk Al Hassan. All the leaders of the six groups signed the press statement.

Ephemmm:
While I am not here to defend the loopholes, remember that budget is just an estimation of expected revenue and expenses which cannot be 100% accurate: it is an estimation, but not certainty. When it comes to auditing and accountability, one has to defend his expenses not necessarily a budget.

Elxandre:
Stop talking nonsense.

Most of the money mishandled was for the re-lection campaign.

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.

SaharaReporters has learned that two separate attacks by terrorist group Boko Haram have killed more than fifty people since Monday, according to preliminary estimates.

Sources speaking with SaharaReporters confirmed that the two assaults by Boko Haram took place on Monday February 8th and yesterday on February 9th.

According to sources speaking with our correspondent, female suicide bombers murdered forty-five people and injured dozens yesterday in a Borno IDP camp.

SaharaReporters could not obtain official numbers of dead or injured at the time of publication.

Boko Haram terrorists also raided communities in the Damboa Local Government Area (LGA) on Monday, killing at least seven people. News of this attack is just surfacing because of poor phone network in that area.

How did he lie? Have they not hit the ground running? Do you expect them to suddenly create thousands of jobs with the amount of rot their predecessors left behind? With all these damning revelations about the systemic rape of our natl wealth, how realistic would it be to expect immediate transformation in the whole of the nation?

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.”

Corruption in Nigeria is systemic and endemic, you can only fight corruption through technology and not on the pages of newspapers.

Kudos to Kemi Adeosun and her team, please don't relent until we boot corruption out of Nigeria.

Those found wanting should be made to face the full wrought of the law.

It shall be well with Nigeria.
Shalom!

Look at the relative consistency of oil prices between 2011 and 2014.

Excess crude account is a different conversation.

I applaud the wisdom in pairing Buhari and Osinbajo.

One General. One Professor. One Nigeria.

All APC Presidential Candidates were better and had more experience in democratic governance than Buhari.

Buhari best potential would've better served Nigerians if he is appointed and given free hand to oversee ICPC, EFCC and CCT without political interference.

Buhari don't even have the capacity to allow his ministers to rise to their full potentials.

tbaba1234:
No, Jonathan enjoyed the highest average oil prices. I have never mentioned Yaradua.. Between 2011 to 2014 we had consistently high oil prices.

Obasanjo had up and downs in Oil prices but under Jonathan oil prices stayed high almost through out.

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

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.
