As posited by Rotimi Amaechi, on the issue of NIMASA relevant to the Osun Airport, “I don’t think we should proceed with the Airport in Osun State as being proposed by Rauf Aregbesola of APC, because it is a waste of resources, and unfortunately, a lot of money had already been released for the Airport project hence there is no structure on ground but just the feasibility study".

We therefore implores EFCC & ICPC to please urgently investigate this fraudulent act of the governor and save the state from further mortgaging.

just because they no longer see money to loot, they want to milk us dry..i cant wait till 2019!!

Kikero112:
In fairness to the chap you responded to...he is right.

And yes....I am not justifying Fayemi's alleged overspending.(If he is guilty....he should be prosecuted).

Fact is....we do not have many goodies because we do not pay enough tax. For years.....we could avoid the low revenue by just selling oil and agric produce and minerals.....and sharing the kudi.

But that made the government think that they had no responsibility towards us.

Ironically....by raising taxes from us Nigerians....APC is putting themselves in the hot seat.Governments whose revenue comes from taxes tend to do better in the service delivery aspect than those who get money from selling raw materials to industrial nations...and pocketing the money. They know that if they do not produce value for the taxes....they will be in big trouble.

So...this raised taxes thing might be a good idea for us Nigerians.....and may make things hotter for the APC.

And the above reason is why Germany provides better services. They know most of their revenue comes from taxes....so they cannot afford to mess up. Unlike our governments past and present who know that they do not rely on our taxes for anything....the oil money until last year was flowing in....and as a result....think they owe us nothing.

But that might be about to change.

Some days ago, I was at a secondary school in Surulere (across the bridge from the Island) in Lagos for a friend's event where he is educating secondary students about the perils of peer pressure. I honestly wasn't expecting what I saw as the state of this secondary school.
It left me wondering if this was a school or a dump yard. Why in heaven's name are Nigerian leaders looking the other way while the young ones study in this sorry environment?

The attached pictures are what I saw. This is no secondary school. It's a hopeless shanty. I hope this gets to front page and attracts the necessary attention.

And this type of ad - stoking the flames of tribalism - is the 'next level democracy' you preach about in your signature?

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.”

I think the feeding program was initiated to urge more parents to send their children to school. Most parents over there will not send their children to school because of fancy furniture or a library of instructional materials. The food will motivated them more. After getting the parents to enrol their children in school, the government should now make the the environment more conducive.

Kenai:
The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, on Monday flagged off free feeding in the state primary schools in what the governor described as a fulfillment of his pledge to provide free education to pupils in Kaduna state. According to him, the free feeding programme is expected to benefit 1.5 million children in over 4,000 pubic primary schools across the state.
Meanwhile Social crusaders and activists from Kaduna, have released pictures to condemn the School feeding initiative maintaining the the program was unnecessary and a charade especially given the state of infrastructure decay in the school which should have been first addressed.
According to a commenter, he said that government of Kaduna should have ’empowered their parents and use the food money to equip the class.’ Another activist Zina Dabo said on twitter; “Seriously @elrufai do you think what these kids need is propaganda slice of yam not chairs? @shehusani @NGRWailers“
According to El-Rufai, the programme is directly creating 17,000 jobs for caterers, who in turn will employ others to support them. “It is an unprecedented undertaking in the state, but one that we solemnly pledge to do during the campaign.
“In seeking to take care of our children we are creating jobs, boosting demand and expanding people to new skills and hygienic standard, and providing extra income.”
The pictures show students in schools without furniture; chairs and tables who were seen eating from the plates across various primary schools in the state. Photos below:

These are the pictures the governor unfortunately doesn't want you to see. And it ties in with the typical APC leadership style - Ignore the basic essentials you're supposed to provide, and focus on the cosmetic and unsustainable political gestures that will only earn you quick and easy brownie points from the gullible.
This man couldn't provide desks, teachers and laboratory infrastructure, he skipped them all for this recurrent expenditure that will do nothing to improve the QUALITY of education in those schools.
This was the exact same way a certain governor employed Twitter shills and media jesters to whitewash his image with endless propaganda for all of 2012, 2013 and 2014, until the crash in oil prices exposed him for the wasteful, shortsighted, and totally CLUELESS leader he really was ('Oil prices have fallen, so my hands are tied. I can't pay your salaries. in the mean time, pray for the state. Bye').

And the same thing looks to play out in Kaduna soon.
We just dey watch.

Premier beer out in 2015, says chairman

December 30, 2014

Chairman, Board of Directors, Premier Breweries Plc, Onitsha, Prince Arthur Eze, yesterday said the company would commence full stream production of beer in the first quarter of 2015.

Eze said this while addressing shareholders of the company during the 2014 Annual General Meeting, AGM, of the company for the year ended March, 2014, held in Enugu.

He noted that with the assurances of the company's technical partners and the level of re-engineering so far achieved, the company would resume its leading role in the beer production industry in the country.

The chairman said that electricity supply had been stabilised with the installation of a 500KVA generator while water supply was already in place from which the company produces the table water that was already in the market.

Eze explained that with about N1 billion share capital, the company settled a monthly electricity bill of N1 million and a salary bill of N3.4 million.

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.

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.
