Kastonkastroll:
you don't have to go "all ballistic" over simple things even though you might be right

You think this SERIOUS matter of wage DISPARITY is a simple thing, right

Okay, enjoy yourself.
Cheers!

mokset123:
as well as their cut throat allowances.

you can imagine a level 8 officer in the ministry receiving 50k as take home pay per month

This LOPSIDEDNESS and useless DISPARITY is one of the major reasons for INFLATION as no rational, smart person is encouraged to work towards creating real VALUE hence we continue to share the national cake aka Niger Delta oil revenue that we CANNOT explore nor exploit and must export to our longer nosed fellow homo sapiens.

Such a TRAGEDY really!

PassingShot:
Trust Buhari to be able to do it IF it was in his control.

As things stand, we have to depend on our law makers to review political office holders' remunerations downward.

Please STOP already with these your puerile excuses that hold no water!

How many APC SINators and representaTHIEVES are in NASS for what %

If your Buhari wants to pass ANY law or amendment it should be a piece of cake with his party's control of the two chambers, ok!

dearpreye:
A poor nation like ours has NO business wasting so much funds in keeping useless ministries and agencies. It's time to make it leaner.

Beyond the numbers there is also the issue of remuneration/salaries paid to political appointees and elected officers compared to the MISERABLE N18,000 minimum wage.

Everyone's pay must be brought IN LINE with the minimum wage also!!!

omenka:
These are the touted policy direction of the incoming administration that makes PDP, TANoids and all other enemies of this nation nervous.

They see a man who knows exactly how to go about making the country great again and fear his success would spell eternal doom for them since they would have little or no mud left to throw at the man or a crack in the wall to hold unto as they try to make their way back into the Nigerian treasury and do what they do best.

I love the appearance of the planned mergers. Nigeria would be great again we believe. Any one who feels it would be very difficult for them to succeed in an environment where laxity, inefficiency, corruption, and indiscipline are not condoned, encouraged and rewarded, they may as well take the next flight out the country to a place they could fit in. We are through with the culture of the past.

Get used to it.

Get used to 'CONSIDER'

You must be a joker of the highest order

lexy2014:
D shutdown of d country due 2 fuel scarcity is only possible when there's a natural disaster. Natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes cripples a countrys infrastructure thereby limiting a govts ability 2 provide basic services as power, fuel and transportation. Is it safe then 2 say that GEJ was a disaster, natural or otherwise?

The real disaster is blabber mouth Daura President who scared oil marketers with his senseless talk =>

QuotaSystem:

DT: One burning issue is fuel subsidy. I believe you are aware of the queues in major cities like Lagos and Abuja. The fuel importers say they are unsure of the direction of the new government in this area. Have you considered maintaining or withdrawing this subsidy or are you questioning whether it didn’t exist at all?

Buhari: One of the problems I have, other than the military, is the petroleum industry where I served for three and a half years under General Obasanjo. When people start talking about this subsidy I honestly get confused. I will tell you this, and I hope it will answer what you want to know. Back then we had a refinery in Port Harcourt, which was refining 30,000 barrels a day of Nigerian crude.
Later, it was upgraded to refine 100,000 barrels a day. Another refinery was built in Port Harcourt to refine 150,000 barrels per day of Nigerian crude. So, Port Harcourt alone had the capacity to refine 250,000 barrels per day of Nigerian crude.

But when I found myself as the Minister of Petroleum I set up another refinery in Warri for 100, 000 barrels per day of Nigerian crude and the Kaduna refinery a 100, 000 barrels per day. So Nigeria built capacity to refine 450,000 a day.
Four Hundred thousands of which is purely Nigerian crude, but 50,000 was imported. The type of crude could be Venezuelan, which could be a bit heavier. But the lighter ones - kerosene, aviation fuel, diesel, PMS of different grades could be produced from our crude because Nigerian crude is about the best in the world.

If you could recall, after finishing as Minister of Petroleum, I subsequently became Head of State. You remember, I appointed Professor Tam David West as the Minister of Petroleum. When we rounded up bunkers, collected their illegal jetties and allowed jetties for only big firms which were doing production and development in the country, we were shocked that we had too much fuel.

We had to begin to export 100,000 barrels per day. Don’t forget that we didn’t stop at building refineries, we built more than 20 depots during my time, from Port Harcourt to Ilorin, Makurdi, Suleija, Maiduguri and Kano. More than 3,000 pipelines were laid to connect them. A number of stations were also built to take the trailers off the road, save lives and the infrastructure on the road. It is more economical because each trailer uses fuel.

We did all that in this country and we didn’t borrow any money as far as I know. It’s Nigerian money. From each Nigerian crude, whether Akwa Ibom, Bonny Light or whatever it is, you can work out how much products it will give you; how much petrol it will give you; how much diesel it will give you if you want to produce diesel. We could tell how much Nigerian crude cost, the cost of transportation from there to the refinery, the cost of refining, the cost of transportation to the pump stations and maybe 5 per cent go for overhead.

I can understand if Nigerians pay for those costs. But somebody is saying he is subsidizing Nigerians. Who is subsidizing who?

DT: Does it suggest that you don’t believe in the subsidy? So, you are not going to agree to its continuation in anyway?

Buhari: I would like to be on ground and find out what really has been going wrong. Why is it that people are doing round-tripping with the Nigerian products and take money from the treasury? Some people are still in court. You know about it. So, I’m not taking anything for granted. But I will try and find out what went wrong.

PassingShot:
What specific corruption allegations do you have against each of them?

What specific proven charges do you have against Jonathan and his crew

Bloody HYPOCRITE!!!

adeaks:
This is pure slander. The governor is the number one security officer of the state. So he is saying he was aware of the intricate details of a murder and how it was committed and he never did anything? He is indicting himself as well and in saner climes that should be an impeachable offence.

The man is just too garrulous. Lord knows how he will comport himself in whichever role Buhari finally gives him.

What role will he be given beyond what he got already- Driver General promoted to Donatus General (DG) to be Errand Boy in Chief before being dumped like a used condom

I think the Dog of the Tribe of Ubima is going insane.

Hope he gets deliverance plus psychiatric treatment soon.


If ours was a normal society he should be arrested and tried for OBSTRUCTING justice among other criminal charges but he knows we are too much cowardly and senseless hence he can yarn dust and get away as we look on like ediots!

For your THINKING pleasure

I was expecting the Donatus General (DG) Amaechi aka the Dog of the Tribe of Ubima to say he is NOT corrupt!

Does anyone know why he did not say that

Abi APC is not a band of incorruptible angels ni with BabaOneChance as the leading angel?

Mogidi:
Did we vote for the Prime minister of the Republic of Corruption?

Where's Osibanjo? Is Tinubu the vice president now? We said Osi was going to end up being a nobody, he has.

"Osibande" is consigned to reading newspapers only

Did they screen him for Ebola, seriously speaking oh!

Can you explain please

Cutehector:
I blame gej! Wen buhari enters,, let me see any filling station dat will not want to sell fuel...

Most likely the soldiers are behaving RASCALLY because they know Buhari is coming back.
However the last time he FORCED businesses to do what is NOT profitable to them the result was CATASTROPHIC!
