richidinho:
well done Sir

Buhari! Buhari!! Buhari!!!
Buhari why do have to go to S.A to discuss Naija

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.

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.

It's only an agbadagba zombie that will believe that this government is fighting corruption.

Hope Senator Shehu Sani is not a cog in the wheel of the fight against corruption?

krispycash:
Truth be told we all saw this coming but still voted in the same people who put nigeria where it is today! #recycledleadership and that's where we seem to have a problem... same old dullards saying the same old things using new tunes and we are so easily fooled by it... They came and they screamed out change but we failed to ask if it was change for a better nigeria or a worse one... They have thieves as ministers... A known pathological liar as the minister of INFORMATION... And instead of occupying we sit on our hands and suffer... come here to rant and cause more issues not for them but ourselves... While they sit in the comfort of their offices not a care as to what the common man goes through...
Nigeria needs a leader who has been through the suffering and knows what it's like... not someone who is taking the glory of his assistant (tunde idiagbon) and claiming it's his... More action less talk... its been over six months now... what do we have if not more suffering...

VEE2010:
If this bill scale through and eventually becomes an act of the parliament, I pity El-Rufai because, he might be the first to be convicted on the account of his malicious posts. Hope they are willing to review the immunity clause for some elected officials so as to create a balance in enforcing this law. Osho, Lie, El-Rufai, Okorocha, etc...

Timbuktou:
You are yet to reveal what this jungle justice is. The law clearly legislates against falsehood. If you make a statement that isn't false, you needn't be bothered.

Timbuktou:
That will teach people to say only things they can prove. Your freedom of speech shouldn't damage my reputation.

Ghandi12:
Tens of millions of unemployed youth, business-killing economic policies, millions of internally displaced people, agitation of thousands of ignored youth, over-paid public officers living flamboyant lifestyles, dwindling national revenue, persistent scarcity of fuel, oppressive revenue drive on already impoverished masses and rising insecurity across the nation. I see more future chaos, more confusions, and stagnancy.

We fought by their side believing they are compassionate and honest problem solvers but they are just dashing our hope of a new beginning day-after-day.

But why do we always get scammed?

Timbuktou:
Facts and evidence, I presume.

Timbuktou:
Why anybody would contest this bill is beyond me. It clearly cites false statements. Lol. All you have to do is be sir of what you want to say before you do. No be so?

Ghandi12:
I still cannot believe this is the same President Buhari led administration we fought so hard to enthrone.

Good, where are wailers ooo chukwudi, anonimi, Tonye etc.

Oya repent and gwan take a bar of Joy soap. and wash.

Please read the links you provided. Erisco Foods is still importing tomato concentrate themselves. Whilst I commend him, he is not yet making tomato paste locally. Still, I'll definitely keep an eye out for news of his company and the minute he starts using locally grown tomato paste, I'll be one of his biggest supporters and even help him market for free. Thanks for at least telling us his name.

cuteboy2:
The Havard graduate is working or researching to produce, while Eric Odinaka Umeoffia of Erisco Foods Processing Limited, is already producing canned tomato puree.

Chief Umeoffia has donated truckloads to Nigerian Army formations in North East fighting Boko Haram, Internally Displaced Persons camp, buying up full pages of newspapers, and shouting himself hoarse that Nigeria should stop importation of tomato paste. But is anyone listening?
