What did you do with the money when oil prices were high?
Nothing?
Only remittance from the diaspora is saving Nigeria right now. You can shout transformation agenda as much as you can, Nigeria clock has been turned back by Jonathan and Iweala straight back to 1982.

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.

This is a man who understands exactly what to do. Has a track record of victories. And has the political will to keep Nigerians safe across the Federation.

Kidnapper, Terrorists, Militants, Arm Rubbers, Criminals - find something legitimate to do with your life. The next President of Nigeria is NOT into Military-Costume-Wearing. He is a Retired Major General. Trained in Nigeria, India, United Kingdom and the United States. He is an over performer. He is not shy of the Facts. Our Senior Military Commanders will not eat Military budget and clean mouth under his watch.

Don't mind those that tell you that Nigeria Cannot be Changed. That things can't be better. They just want to keep looting. When they exhaust their lies, they will start mocking, insulting and posting cartoons.

While PDP are hoping to rig themselves in, Buhari and the entire APC team believe you have the capacity to elect Buhari with your votes alone. Let see who wins (PDP Rigging vs The Votes of the Masses).

This Change is Unstoppable. Sai Buhari. 5days to go!

Amazing..to save Abuja from entering recession, the following needs to be done:

1. Introduce monthly rentals for apartments
2. Introduce reduced tuition for children
3. Food is cheap, restaurants are expensive

Onegai:
I could provide support for this, as I have contacts and know prices of strawberries in Lagos. My issue is, those guys are using mining pods to water their plants. The little I know of mining tells me there's a lot of heavy metal pollution around the areas being mined. What are the chances this fruit is safe for consumption, as the people I kmow who will buy want to test for this. Thanks

See your comment, was it mentioned to PMB that the SUVs given to him after the attack was from arms money or from Dasuki?

tolusan:
This is getting worrisome to say the least. What does this government really want? Fight corruption? i really doubt, I think the government is either interested in a sustained publicity stunt or it is out to entrench impunity in the name of fighting corruption. It is now common place to hear that so and so has been arrested on sometimes trumped up charges. Then the annoying part of the story where you hear them 'storm' the premises, 'ransack' computer files 'take away' key members of staff. The EFCC does not come off as a professional organization that has done its home work well before swinging into action, rather, they seem like a bunch of marauding plunderers who leave pain in their wake.

In this times of dire economic needs, i would have thought that a situation where the government focuses on RECOVERY of the said funds would be preferred above this 'name and shame' game that is playing out. With a little over 10% of the alleged 15 billion, the guy can assemble a team of the best brains in the legal profession who would frustrate and make mince meat of the EFCC in court when the time comes. Little wonder EFCC rarely succeeds in prosecuting any high profile case. mtchewww...

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.

Are these people you mentioned have connection with Federal government missing funds? Did these people served federal government? The answer is No, No. Among those being probed, who among them did not have connection with federal govrnment missing money? Just to give you clue on how war against corruption is moving at the moment. Just let us support it, it will go down to state level even local govt level. Its step by step.God bless PMB, God bless federal republic of Nigeria

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, yesterday arraigned former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, his two sons - Aminu Sule Lamido and Mustapha Sule Lamido, Aminu Wada Abubakar and Batholomew Darlington Agoha, before Justice Adeniyi Ademola of the Federal High Court, Abuja, on a 27-count amended charge bordering on corruption and money laundering.
[img]http://4.bp..com/-zCqozBIVkUQ/VgJ00wiNHNI/AAAAAAAGqc4/_RqQw94wizQ/s1600/unnamed.jpg[/img]
Arraigned along with the governor, his sons and aides include 4 companies namely Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited, Bamaina Aluminium Limited and Speeds International Limited.

Lamido and his co-accused had been arraigned before Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court, Kano State, on July 9 2015 for allegedly misappropriating funds belonging to Jigawa State. Their case was later transferred to the Federal High Court, Abuja, where Justice Gabriel Kolawole, a vacation judge, granted the accused persons bail, and adjourned the matter to September 22, 2015.
At the resumed hearing yesterday September 22nd, presided over by Justice Ademola, counsel to the EFCC, Chile Okoroma, presented the court with the amended charge, dated September 15, 2015, which added Agoha, manager of Speeds International Limited, as one of the accused persons. The hearing which commenced at about 9.11am was, however, adjourned briefly to allow the registry to assign a new charge number to the amended charge sheet, since the case was originally heard in Kano.

On resumption, the charges were read to the accused persons.

One of the charges read: “That you Alhaji Sule Lamido (while being Governor of Jigawa State, Nigeria), Aminu Sule Lamido, Mustapha Sule Lamido, Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited, and Speeds International Limited between 15th October and 18th December, 2008 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did convert an aggregate sum of N124,649,915 paid by Dantata and Sawoe Construction Company Nigeria Limited into the account of Speeds International Limited.”

Another charge read: “That you Alhaji Sule Lamido (while being the governor of Jigawa State, Nigeria), Aminu Sule Lamido, Mustapha Sule Lamido, Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited and Speeds International Limited between 8th January and 10th December, 2013 within the jurisdiction of this Honbourable Court took possession of an aggregate sum of N101,580,300 paid by Dantata and Sawoe Construction Company Nigeria Limited into the account of Bamaina Holdings Limited.”

They all pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Justice Adeniyi Ademola, thereafter, adjourned till October 21 and 22 for trial

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.”

Kx:
When they were stealing the nation blind, they forgot the rule of law and obedience of court order.

Now they have been caught and "gbabed" by the EFCC, they think shouting that PMB must obey court orders is the solution.

I like PMB approach- use the instrument of state, Police, EFCC etc to arrest and investigate; push for a 100% refund without court.
When all the loot has been recovered, court can take their turn to apply snail speed judicial proceedings with thine kingdom come adjournments and injunctions.

They have met their match in PMB.

God bless my president.

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.

Rawani:
The party is finally having some sense.

Now that it's pretty clear that blackmail, playing victim and grandstanding would never work, let's hope the opposition fully co-operates with this government in the anti-corruption war.

Regardless, those guilty of diverting security funds must still be fully prosecuted and punished.

so that we can focus on governance. ...

Goke7:
your comment is so full of bitterness, you want a dull and confused one as you put it adopt a report from your so called democrat hero you call saint? the problem with you guys you continue to rain abuses on PMB yet you want so much bounties from him, how does that work? you guys should learn diplomacy, PMB will not fall for your cheap blackmails.

Diplomacy is the way to go if you want attention from PMB.

dustydee:
I think the federal government should adopt true federalism. States should have control of their resources and pay tax/royalties to the federal government. Any state that can't survive should close shop and look for "development partners". The security agencies, for now, should be managed by the federal government.

nogames:
I never remember any APC governor that send delegate ,pls remind us
