who have perfected the art of taking their fellow citizens for a ride.
Were they not whining and complaining about Jonathan's transition committee yet their Donatus General (DG) Amaechi does not even have a transition committee.
When I checked the list you put up here, GMB/s and Osinbajo's names were missing and they are the CHANGE AGENTS, not any of those names. They are the ones we'll hold responsible at the end of the day.
Jona is the man with all his unfulfilled promises and his unsurpassed failure!
The joke is on you man.
A man who TRANSFORMED our:
- railways while APC leading light spent $1 billion World Bank loan on aloku metal scrap Toronto trains that are yet-to-be-seen. - agriculture that even his opponents acknowledge. - improved our Transpancey International corruption through sytematic processes - universities with 14 new ones for the PUBLIC unlike APC navigator and his former VP who built PRIVATE universities for themeselves in eight years
nationwide1: The trekker for GEJ gets more recommendations and supports because people know when and where he started not just appearing from the blue close to the destination point with unsubstantiated claim.
APC na scam. Their BabaOneChance na scammer. His trekker too na FRAUDSTER
tayebest: "My advice is just that Nigerian should just be in ease with this incoming government, A country that has been handle by the bad government for the past 16years cannot be build up in a short expectation.
Make una come see another story teller who is out of tune with the reality of APC's wayo change that is bound to SHORTchange our fellow citizens =>
Jossyroyal1: -but FG was responsible for not asking such state governors to give proper account of the allocations they were given right? wat do u expect wen FG fail to tell them dat STEALING IS CORRUPTION....
Are you so dull Or do you think this is a military regime of DICTATORSHIP?
Otherwise show us where our constitution requires the 36 state governors to render account os usage of their allocation to the federal government aka the president. Thanks.
Reference: Government is never the problem. It is always the people. They ultimately decide what is acceptable and their decisions or indecisions will steer the ship of state. Whether fuel subsidy, economic diversification, excess crude/sovereign wealth or even socio-political issues such as constitutional review, Nigerians are largely irrational and are failing themselves.
Of course the new government will borrow. Of course it will rather 'allocate from the centre', of course it will have its own cartels, rent seekers and thieves. These are things government, any government cannot do without. It is onjy the people that can bring about fundamental change on the altar of personal interests in favour of collective, lasting ideals. It is only the people who can agree to liquidate a bankrupt Osun, Imo or Zamfara. It is only the people who will decide if Holy Pilgrimages are an investment or an expense.
I wish to warn again about the waste of time and distraction from the 'fundamentals' this anti-corruption ideology is become. I wouldn't go as far as saying that the drum beats of corruption around the outgoing regime coincided with the moves first to reform the oil sector, then reform the country as a whole through 'the Confab'. The truth is I would rather invest in a company with strong fundamentals rather than one that strives not to lose a penny. I am rather worried about how many bridges Julius Berger is building than what the CEO earns or what his CFO steals. Even if every penny this country earns is kept, will it develop this country, no. Can it match our population, no. Will it make us rich, no. Will it build all the infrastructure, no. Especially when oil prices fall. We are a strategically vulnerable country not because of corruption but because Nigerians are not willing to take the risk of communal trust and bear the sacrifices of nationhood.
Watch out. We will gain a few dollars here and there as people steal less but the great cover-up, the great deception will remain for another many years. When OBJ said the elections saved us from the brink, I just smiled. Yes, of course. The brink of the truth.
9ousky: U started with a Gud a post only to later show ur thru intention... The present administration put us all in this mess but all u can conclude on is APC and its Governors.
You need some education and I can give it to you free of charge =>
FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct 15 NOVEMBER 2013
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.
misterh: Back to the topic, how come Nigeria is now borrowing to pay salaries? Even after we've been told that we're the biggest economy in Africa. The oil price under this govt was high. How have we fared with the excess revenue?

So please give us some insight as to why you hate YOURSELF so much as a black person
Everyone agrees that education is a basic ingredient for sustainable development. Jonathan's record in this area is BETTER by far than that of the akotileta prodigal son whose tenancy of Alausa house will expire on 29 May. The record of his godfather, the JagbaJantis of Bourdillon is even WORSE.
Those are the incontrovertible FACTS. If you have any rebttal to this, please fell free to share it. Thanks.
discusant: With continuation of today's 36 states + Abuja political structure, you all southerners in that George Orwell's Animal Kingdom are in the pockets of the descendants of Othman Dan Fodio living in Sugar Candy Mountain.
I guess it is safe to conclude that you are not a Nigerian, right
OBJ's Political Reform Conference observed the too many undue large number of states in the north which draws undue large number of Reps. to north. The conference ended abruptly because of disagreement over what %age oil areas could get.
OBJ was not only a retired General he was also a former Head of State who ruled for three years. He then ruled as civilian president for eight years but did NOT restructure our country.
Did you call him clueless
If anyone is stewpid enough to call Jonathan clueless on this score, that person should remain in his stewpidity by also calling the Agbaya of Owu as the Grandpa Patron of cluelessness. Don't you agree
efilefun: You got that wrong, the emphasis was on innocent civilians been killed while hunting boko haram
Na now wey you sabi the word "emphasis".
Abeg, this is what the useless cattle rearer said:
Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.
Oya point to where the emphasis was on innocent civilians.
The SCAM, FRAUD and PRETENCE that is Buhari's APC go soon clear for una eyes
jibrilaminu003: Beast!!!! Try to verify why he made that statement rather than quoting out of context. If you want to quote him, then quote what he said entirety and stop quoting part of his statement for selfish reasons.
Below is what your fellow beast said entirely, so......
Buhari faults crackdown on Boko Haram JUNE 3, 2013
Presidential candidate for the Congress for Progressive Change in the 2011 Presidential election, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd), has frowned on the emergency rule in parts of the North. He alleged that innocent civilians were being killed in the states.
Buhari speaking during a Liberty FM Hausa Service Programme, Guest of the Week, on Sunday in Kaduna said that Boko Haram members were being killed and their houses demolished unlike the “special treatment” given to the Niger Delta militants by the Federal Government.
rabzy: Chief what facts are you spouting. Is the state govt in competition with the private sector. The number of private schools that can be built is limitless, it is a business for the investing public. So the number can add up to be 100,000 or more. By the Same logic you are using, the govt is suppose to be more houses than all the houses built by private citizens. How can that happen when we practice free enterprise and pseudo-capitalism.
Then for your information your equation should have been 2000/16000 which would make 12.5% built by the govt.
Thanks for correcting my equation. Duly noted that Fashola and Thief'nuibu cabal's FAILURE in Lagos state education sector is WORSE than I earlier reported.
Go and find out what % of public schools (compared to private schools) were for ALL children in Lagos state under Awo and Jakande in the 50s and 80s, then come back let's discuss.
I am surprised that you are comparing education of all OUR children with housing For someone who can calculate properly, this is truly disappointing! In UK, Canada, USA, Italy etc where our people are running through the desert, ocean to smuggle themselves to do you think the public schools are only 12.5% of the total number of schools
Why do we hate OURSELVES so much as black people? Why?
efilefun: Shows how deluded you are, Read the article that's under that headline, like its today you just know nigerian newspaper sell newspapers with ridiculous headlines to "attract Educated illiterates" like you
Na you gangan be oga of deluded. See the body of what your BabaOneChance said.

discusant: Jonathan went, saw, but could not conquer.
If in six years Jonathan had steered the NASS to restructure the polity, he could have performed better in office, perhaps not lose second term.
When he was fighting Boko Haram and people like Buhari said he was killing their brethren etc, did you mobilise support for him and the Nigerian Army
Now you WISH he had restructured the country in a democratic setting where the senate and reps (based on current 36 states + Abuja) have to validate all amendments. Are you for real?
