You lack common sense. I guess the 24 mine sweepers just brought into Nigeria came through Jonathan.
A lot is happening underground that you have no clue about. A soldier serving in the NE gave me first hand info on the past and current situation and all of them are giving glory to God for Buhari and cursing the days of Jonathan.
Dude you have no idea man .... no idea at all

Amucha:
I am Watching Buhari and APC in 3D, they have to remind Okorocha of their manifesto or is he not bound by APC manifesto?

Amucha:
That is to say that Okorocha has gotten to his brain limit. He should honourably resign and allow another person who can pay workers to take over. He just gave himself vote of no confidence, shot himself on the leg. Thank God that he won't smell the presidency. I have lost respect for Okorocha.

Obiagelli:
Is he talking about the helicopter without rotor he bought that ended the life of a fighter pilot? Don fortunato aka EL clueNO (thanks to modath)

cktheluckyman:
So since Buhari has not procured new equipments which ones is he now using to tackle boko haram?

opeaceo:
Why wasn't the war against boko haram won during his tenure??

donTbone:
And i was wondering why he didnt buy it in his time to fight the insurgency!

Sign agreement on no more killings, I will withdraw JTF, Jonathan to Borno elders
March 09, 2013




https://www.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Jonathan-Shettima.jpg


PRESIDENT Goodluck Jonathan yesterday in Maiduguri, accused Borno State Elders of playing to the gallary over the activities of Boko Haram Islamic sect insurgency in the state, describing the situation as unfortunate.

Jonathan spoke during an interactive session with Borno State stakeholders at the Multi-Purpose Hall, Government House Maiduguri, in continuation of his two- day working visit to Borno and Yobe States, the epicentres of Boko Haram.

He was responding to requests by the Elders for the Federal Government to grant amnesty to the sect members as well as withdraw the military Joint Task Force, JTF from Maiduguri and other areas in the state during the second day of his working visit to Borno State..

President Jonathan lamented that none of the elders in the state had publicly condemned the killings and bombings being carried out by the sect members and advised them to put their ‘’house in order,’’ by talking to their children who had been causing havoc in the country to drop their arms against the country.

Biafrarep:
Thank You for that question. The Trouble with Nigerians is that they dont know when to draw a line between patriotism & sychophancy, for Gods sake this is the information age & knowledge is power, no government can ride rough shod over 170 million people when they speak with one voice on matters that affect everyone! Do you know what will happen when we take over D internet be it twitter, nairaland, lindaikeji, facebook & even physical protests etc to demand that legislators cut their emoluments, Buhari slashes Aso rock expenses on refreshments, decorations, BMW cars, presidential jets etc or even to querry why information ministry will have more money than that of Agriculture & Solid Minerals combined!! or to even demand the logic in wasting scarce resources in searching for oil in Borno at this time!!! The joke is on us!!

Standing5:
the "They" part of the equation is very complex. PDP/GEJ supervised the looting and wrong spending of excess earnings and wand APC/Buhari to take blame without seeking to recover stolen funds.

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.

It's very obvious the FG is comprised of seasoned fraudsters.

‘A budget that moves domestic spending in Aso Villa from N580m to N1.7bn cannot be a budget of change’

Abuja – Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe (PDP Abia South) on Wednesday in Abuja, berated the 2016 budget and called on President Muhammaduu Buhari to withdraw it and go back to the drawing board.

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget, said the proposal was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that predication of oil benchmark at 38 dollars per barrel when the crude oil price had fallen below 30 dollars per barrel made the budget unrealistic.

Abaribe faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

“Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique. After the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree, but it is a change in the wrong direction. I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way are we justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of 38 dollars per barrel and I can now say that with oil being 28 dollars today, this budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right, so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board,” he said.

The senator also faulted the adjustments made in the budget as well as allocation for spending in the Aso Rock Villa, saying that it was too exorbitant.

He said that the adjustments rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary only spread it into different offices.

“Mr President, a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change.

“We were told that in the revised budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles and spread to offices.

“It also increased the spending that is due to renovations within the Villa.

“They are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion: what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?” he asked.

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed the previous administration for the lack of funds due to the embezzlement witnessed in previous governments.

He said that this was the 17th budget he would be debating as a legislator and noted that not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable.

“It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go. `That is, we should make every effort to have the real sector-agric mining and manufacturing.

“The budget deserves the support of everyone, including my colleagues on the other side. When we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us,” he said.

Are you telling me the monies alleged to have been looted in the gej/sambo regime can't build similar private universities in many folds? Thieves have different investment priorities.

MrKong:
. His lawyers will probably cohort with his doctors to come up a cumbaya story of how Jonathan forgot he approve the money due to his occassional lapse in memory.

eleko1:
Clueless,fraudster talk.Is he dumb now ?

PhockPhockMan:
But Buhari, in the document titled, ‘I pledge to Nigeria’ had also said that all his political appointees would only earn salaries and allowances as prescribed by the Revenue and Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission.

He said, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liabilities, encourage all my appointees publicly declare their assets and liabilities as a pre-condition for appointment. All political appointees will only earn the salaries and allowances determined by the RMFAC. I pledge, as Commander-in-Chief, to lead from the front and not behind in the comfort and security of Aso Rock, to boost the morale of fighting forces and the generality of all Nigerians.”

good argument OBJ, would have been better received coming from someone else, now all majority of the people can see is the blatant hypocrisy of the messenger thereby dooming the message.

Nigerian deals 'wasted billions
14 March 2008

Some $2.2bn-worth of Nigerian energy contracts were awarded without a bidding process by the former president and his energy minister, officials say.
One was to a company with less than $200 of base capital at the time, a witness told a parliamentary committee.

It is investigating why $16bn of investment in the energy sector during Olusegun Obasanjo's eight years in power failed to end power shortages.

banmee:
What you should wish for is for past presidents to shut the phuck up. No single president in Nigeria did anything for the country. Obasanjo is the worst president we ever had. I find it ironic that a man who was canvassing for a third term as president would have the nerve to call the present so called leaders corrupt. Na wah for Nigeria.

proffemi:
If I may ask, what's your contention about the Dasuki money: that no $2.1 billion ever passed through his office, or that it was never misappropriated?

franciskaine:
we keep talking about this 50mill bribe but what evidence do you really have to back ur point? Or you just choose to criticise his personality without attacking d issue at hand.
