Someone have said that [color=#990000]"the Greatest Obstacle to fighting corruption in Nigeria, are the CORRUPT JUDGES THEMSELVES".
How does one curtail Armed robbery when the Police that is supposed to arrest them is also a Robber?

Corruption is really fighting back.... and winning in some cases.

"Corruption is Nigeria is os deep and hydra-headed that it will take a miracle and loads of good-will of the populace, to tame it to an appreciable level

GMB‬ Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.


I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.

“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.

You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.

Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. [size=14pt]We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[/size] and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.

Ephemmm:
Is it not the same road I am passing through every-week? You can't just be sitting down in your erosion-inflicted hamlet and be generalizing. By the way, we are talking about Lagos-Ibadan Express Road for the past six years in which your ogogoro-drinking-ineffectual buffon has been in the helm of administration, and not Sagamu-RCC.

Use your brain dude!

Fellow Nairalanders, in response to Fashola comments below on not receiving enough support from the federal government to complete the Lagos light rail project.

[size=15pt]
"Fashola said all over the world, when cities and states build municipal rails like what Lagos is doing, their central governments support them morally and financially"[/size]

https://www.nairaland.com/2120455/cant-complete-lagos-light-rail

Few months ago same Fashola said this:


[size=15pt]Lagos: How We Spent N160bn World Bank Loan on Light Rail Project[/size]

The Lagos State Government yesterday justified the N160 billion it borrowed from the World Bank, noting that the fund was channelled to finance its light rail (blue line) project.

However, the state government expressed disappointment at the progress of the project, which it said, was not executed as smoothly as possible, but was optimistic of its completion.

The state Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, said this shortly after inspecting the light rail terminus at the Orile-Iganmu part of the state alongside some members of the state executive council.

Speaking with journalists, Fashola said the project would have been completed in another 12 months despite that the project execution was not as smooth and speedy as he wanted it.

The governor raised questions on the intention of the federal government for publishing the state debt profile in the recent time, wondering what could have informed the decision to make it public.

He said: “I think it was the Debt Management Office of the federal government that published the report that we have a debt of about N160billion. I do not know the intent of the publication.

“But if it was to inform the public, I think we have always kept the public informed anytime we borrow money. If there are other intentions behind that, only those who make the publication would know what the intentions are.

“But you see, when people talk about debt of a state like Lagos, they forget that after Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt and one other country, we have the fifth largest economy in Africa.

“When you are talking of about a billion naira debt to a population of over 21 million people; because if you are measuring the debt, you also have to measure the responsibility. Those are the things people keep in isolation.”

He, therefore, explained that the state government already “has in place, strategies to repay the loan. The federal government was in the know of the state’s decision to take the bond and it approved it.”

[size=15pt]He added that the truth “is that what they do not also say is that no state in Nigeria can borrow money outside, from any multilateral agencies without the approval of the federal government.[/size]

“What they did not say is that they approved it. No state can raise money by bond the way we have done without the federal government’s approval. [size=18pt]Both SEC and NSE are all federal regulatory agencies through which we must pass. If they said okay, it means there must be something good about the debt.
[/size]

“Our rating as a state is the same as that of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, BB minus-stable with a positive outlook. We are the only state in Nigeria that has that rating. The first bond that was taken during my first tenure has been paid; the first tranche has been paid.

“I think the second tranche will be settled around 2016 or 2017. We are already making provisions. The provisions that will be there will be in excess of what is needed,” the governor said

Fashola expressed satisfaction on the progress of the light rail project, though decried the petty delay that was encountered as a result funding, saying the project would have should have been completed in another 12 months.

We can't complete Lagos light rail project

We obviously can't complete Lekki international phantom airport.

And you will be the biggest fool to think that we can complete Eko Atlantic.

Use your head people where do you think we are getting all the money we are using to sponsor Buhari

Why is it impossible for you to respect yourself & age with all this inane , redundant foto you keep posting back & forth?

So ministers & perm secs are now staff of presidency & budget office?

PMB dropped the ball by not removing the relics of 16yrs of mindless & unbridled corruption, he should do the needful cos at the end of the day, it is his name & legacy on the line... some folks are tied & dyed in pilfering, they need to be excised from the system.....

BTW, Did you not have enough toys or playthings as a child & now missing your childhood? Grow up abeg, some things should be beneath grown folks!! Hian....

Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, will only receive 50 per cent of the salary paid to their predecessors, a government source said on Friday.

According to a statement by a spokesman to the President, Garba Shehu, the President’s decision to take a 50 per cent pay cut was conveyed to the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation on Thursday by the Permanent Secretary of the State House, Mr Nebolisa Emodi.

“I write to forward the completed IPPIS registration form of Mr President and to draw your kind attention to Mr. President’s directive that only 50% of his salary be paid to him,” Mr Emodi wrote in the letter.

The current annual remuneration of the President of Nigeria, as published by the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, is 14,058,820.00 Naira (about $70,000).

******************************************************

This is a good step but it will be a better step when the senators and reps also cut by 50%.

Best will be salaries & ALLOWANCES for all political office holders in line with the N18,000 minimum wage paid to civil servants in the SAME government.

This is purely a sensational news. I rushed and opened it thinking that I will see something different and it turned out as an absolute hogwash. The total amount of money allegedly recovered is not even up to #5million, which is an amount an ordinary trader can have, not to talk of someone who has a connection with the presidency.

Media Govt.

They NEVER see anything wrong in ANYTHING their Goats do but picket the presidency even when the right thing is done.

Just look at what states are budgeting for frivolities while their residents/citizens wallow in abject penury.

Where is the thug Ayo Fayose to condemn these?

Where is Muray Bruce Lee to do some karate about it on twitter?

Where is the Epka "godoluwa" to look "beyond politics and condemn them"??

Where are the anonimi of nairaland to post useless unrelated pictures about them??

I blame PMB and his team for this fiasco simply because nearly all the top bureaucrats and agency heads are GEJ appointees which PMB should have fired a long time ago.

This administration is still full of corrupt GEJ's men and women..

MrDavidson:
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered mass retirement of permanent secretaries.
The president met with the permanent secretaries few minutes ago.
At the meeting were Chief of Staff to the President Abba Kyari and the Head of Civil Service of the Federation.
It was gathered that no fewer than 17 of the permanent secretaries were affected.
This is coming ahead of the swearing-in of the ministers-designate scheduled for tomorrow.

Checkmate to forestall unity in public funds diversion..



The new perm secrs & ministers each don't know the EXACt information PMB has about the inner workings & loopholes for leakages in each ministry, so they have no choice but to be upfront.

Now, we'll see how they'll collude to steal public funds..

PMB already knows where all the bodies are & the burial sites...
