u should tell that to a slowpoke who deprives a gov to his state govtment house embarrasing him with police, tell it to the slowpoke who would intefer in the internal affairs of a state and invade its legislators because he wants to impeach an opposition. Tell it to the one who would order securities to lock out a no4 man of nigeria that was not appointed but elected by his ppol. Tell it to him that has become emperor adolf hilter and is granting automatic tickets to everyone irrespective of wither the people want the person or not. Tell it to the clueless that despise the rule of law

Compared to what happened under General Bully-Aminu's 8 wasted years there has been remarkable PROGRESS in those exaggerated stories you posted.

Yet Buhari, Tinubu and others in the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC were begging Obasanjo to be their navigator

oziegbe2015:
Untill we start making fg see that the peanuts of disgrunted developments it gives out of the enomours resources it controls is not enough the better for all. The problem here is that u lack the figures of $tillions that gej controlled in 6yrs.

Hope you can tell us the not-peanuts 'of disgruntled developments' done by Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, governor of Rivers state, executive chauffeur to his slave masters

What EXACTLY have you said that you think deserves a response

This is the reason why we need to be careful when people yearn for change just for the sake of change.

How many revolutions have actually benefitted the people.

I usually recommend George Orwell's classic "Animal Farm" to those who call for revolutions.

History is replete with people like Stalin (Russian Revolution)), Mao (China's Cultural Revolution), Roberspierre (French Revolution) who turned to dictators after their revolutions.

You also have people who hijack these revolutions. People like Morsi (a fundametalist) and Asisi (a soldier) in Egypt, the Islamists in Tunisia, Blaise Campaore of Bourkina Faso, those who took advantage of Nigeria's June 12 struggles to deceive people and come to power in 1999.

I only pity the families of the pawns who lose all (incuding their lives) in these revolutions.

I hope people will learn.

The highlighted is very instructive but many have sold their conscience for pittance crumbs from those who have deprived us into depravity!

And one wonders why they never swing into action whenever Fayose's Thugs invade any place court premises and wreak mayhem on the occupants Judges. He has silenced them with belle equipment.

Fayose simply learnt from the JagaBandit who used area boys and touts to harass the late Gani Fawehinmi at Igbosere court over his forged LIFE

philips70:
Brother, face the truth and be free from condemnation. No political party in the history of this world can be as worse as the PDP. You know this in your inner mind. I personally feel God decided to pay us with PDP for a disobedience am yet to fathom.

Abeg speak for yourself.
Na you sabi the disobedience wey you and others like you don commit for some imaginary god (in this instance) to be punishing you. God has given me adequate intellect like other homo sapiens. It is up to me NOT to be lazy and use it to the fullest in achieving my objectives towards uplifting my society.
QED!!!

oziegbe2015:
In ancient yorubaland when a king is rejected the people would present a calabash to him and say the people reject you and the gods reject you . We have presented that calabash to gej to say the people reject him, in uniousm his political godfather also confirms that the gods reject him. Buhari2015.(aso rock) gej2015(kirikiri)

You don miss road tey tey

I doubt if you are Yoruba or understand Yoruba elders' way of sending coded message.
You may wish to read Obasanjo's message again and seek elders' interpretation vis-à-vis the 2015 presidential elections.

Majority of you chose to reason from the anus only because hatred has blocked your brains. Many PDP states like Benue and the rest have been owing workers for months.

Thanks for confirming what many are beginning to realize =>

APC = PDP = APC

In many cases the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC is even WORSE!!!

Martins301:
There could be a thousand reason for that. The state may not have recieved its statutory allocation from the FG due to dwindling oil revenue. Most states are complaining about same thing.

That is a big fat LIE being told by the very useless state governors

November 2014 Allocation: FG, States, LG Councils Share N628.775 Billion

From: http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/november-2014-allocation-fg-states-lg-councils-share-n628-775-billion/

These 36 states have walked out several times on the Federation Account sharing meetings to FORCE the federal government to take from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) and still share that with them.

FG, States, LGs Share N568.4 Billion for Oct
15 November 2013

The federal, states and local governments in Nigeria will share the sum of N568.413bn as revenue distributable for the month of October 2013.

This was disclosed by the Minister of State for Finance, Dr Yerima Lawal Ngama, at the monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meeting held in Abuja. The meeting was between the federal ministry of finance and the commissioners of finance for the 36 states of the federation.

According to the communiqué issued by the technical sub-committee of FAAC, both mineral and non-mineral revenues were below the budgeted revenue. Mineral revenue brought in N443.052bn against budgeted revenue of N465.057bn while non-mineral revenue raked in N96.501bn against an expected N158.711bn. While the gross revenue for October (N539.553bn) is N13.936bn more than last month's (September), the distributable revenue for October is N45.923bn lower than September's (N614.336bn).

Ngama said, "The distributable statutory revenue for the month is N458.901billion. no augmentation was proposed for the month. The sum of N7.617billion refunded by Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is also distributed. In addition, the sum of N35.549 billion is proposed to be distributed under the SURE-P programme. The total revenue distributable for the current month (including VAT) is N568.413billion. 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 the states had requested for $2bn 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.

And this has been the "QUIET" pattern with the 36 states since Niger Delta oil revenue started declining!

Most of these same 36 states sued the federal government at the Supreme Court over the Sovereign Wealth Fund like what the UAE (Dubai) and other Middle East oil producing countries also have.

Nigerian States File Lawsuit to Stop Wealth Fund, Guardian Says
October 25, 2011

Twenty-three of Nigeria’s 36 state governors filed a suit at the Supreme Court to stop the federal government from starting a sovereign wealth fund, the Lagos- based Guardian newspaper reported, citing Solomon Awomolo, a lawyer representing the states.

The governors also want savings from crude oil exports to be transferred to the court until the suit is determined, the newspaper said.

It is obvious that far too many of us know very little about what is going on in our country DESPITE greater transparency and availability of information in the public space to get adequate knowledge and understanding.
The saddest part is that these IGNORANT people who are very clueless & daft will be doing swagger of intelligence and calling our president of 160 million plus as clueless.
What IRONY!!!

No difference whatsoever from the mad man on the street who calls normal people mad

micolaj:
Please, how do you advise people with this lies generating skull? Stop sleeping with PILLOWS, if you still love yourself. N3 trillion?

The state's budget has been in the realm of N450 billion not so

http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/152862-ameachi-defies-rivers-crisis-presents-n485-billion-budget-2014.html

http://www..com/ng/states-and-lgda-specific-talks/25448-rivers-state-2013-budget-breakdown-n490-32bn.html

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/12/rivers-budgets-n427bn-for-2012/

In 7 years plus, adjusting for years when it was much lower than N450 billion, you should have N3 trillion as a rough cumulative figure.

perfectionist:
I'm not holding brief for Governor Amaechi or the APC but it pisses me off whenever people say that states go to the Federal Government for monthly allocation. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is that BOTH the Federal Government and the state/local governments get their monthly allocations from the FEDERATION ACCOUNT which belongs to all the federating units. The Federation Account is NOT owned by the FG. It is not its private purse. Pls everyone should take note.

You are very correct ...........to an extent.
The FG collects the royalties, excise duties, import duties, taxes from oil companies, importers etc on BEHALF of all the three tiers of government, not so?
Therefore the federal government being the CUSTODIAN shares the monthly allocation to the 36 states and 774 LGAs. Do you agree so far

Kindly note that there are NO federating units in Nigeria.
There is NONE as all the 36 states and 774 LGAs are the creation of military DICTATORS who carved out 19 states out of one region and 17 out of three regions


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2b/Nigeria_1963-1967.png


Moreover NONE of the 36 states actually COLLECTS its own revenue that it in turn contributes to the federal purse as a federating body such that the federal AGENT can carry out assigned duties on behalf of the federating units with FOREIGN countries.
See the difference?

It is very important that we understand these basic elements of our citizenship and "SOCIAL CONTRACT" relationship to the "STATE" at its various levels, which the advent of colonialism and military COUPISTS destroyed.

luvinhubby:
Chisoooos !
3 trillion
Spent on.what in 7yrs in Rivers state?
This man needs to be captured alive by Rivers people & castrated for for wasting their state money on APC.

Chai you wicked oh
You mean to chop his balls off like these ones


[img]http://evilcakes.files./2013/01/1.jpg[/img]

The man fit die and make it difficult for Rivers people to recover the rest of their stolen trillions oh

sademola:
Ahmadu Ali is a young, very young and vibrant guy!!!

omenka:
He's a youth of course and it is PDP's policy to always recognise the youth in the biggest decisions they make!!

Just like the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC Youth leader who is 53 years (football age oh) old

Let us forget the old soldier pensioner that has been brought out of retirement to be collecting bank loan at 72 years old for his application form

Clueless mugus too plenty for this country I swear!!!

NgeneUkwenu:
Do you think we call him a Clueless thing just for fun?

Nor be so mad man for road dey call people wey normal sey na dem dey mad

We Nigerians are the real clueless ones who can ONLY shout president this, president that for things that should be done by our well paid 36 state governors and 774 LGA chairmen

Does anyone know WHY this Association of Pretending Crooks, APC Donatus General (DG) would actually admit that he is their ATM

Rivers people have you seen works worth the over N3 trillion Rotimi Amaechi collected on your BEHALF all these years

Lucasbalo:
You are beyond redemption.

You must be talking about yourself as you cannot respond with counter FACTS that are verifiable.

austinvsb1:
Pls i beg you in the name of the almighty, VOTE! Lets salvage this country while we can. Remember this same tinubu gave us fashola. Your vote is your power!!

GMB2015 #Change

Fashola who had to beg to be given a second term by the JagaBandit in 2011 after almost being impeached in 2009/2010?
Tinubu & Fashola who have raised IGR by over 34 times from N7.2 billion in 1999 to N246 billion in 2013 yet the improvement in services, utilities & infrastructure all over the state is infinitesimal

E be like sey dem take plenty people head take do paaro (exchange)
Granted Fashola can SPEAK good English but is that what governance is all about

chingydaboss:
Revival.. Revival.. Revival

When I saw your Revival, I thought you were happy about our culture being partly revived in a useful modern way. I did not realize it is a message inviting people to be scammed by gods of men like TB Joshua who have no semblance whatsoever with the Jesus they claim to represent

Carry your advertisement to the proper section and I hope Seun will find a way to make you pay for such advert. Shiiiiiiooooooooorrrrrrrrr!!!

Lucasbalo:
Well you proof yourself to be an agent provocateur and rabble rouser. You are entitled to your opinion. The day of reckoning is around the corner for the corrupt one. Thank God, most Nigerians know the damage GEJ has unleashed upon them and I sincerely believe he will go back to his otueke in May.

Why have you allowed yourself to be LIED to despite claiming to be in the US

Transparency International said our corruption index improved from 144th in 2013 to 136th in 2014, it doesn't make sense to you right?

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/12/corruption-index-nigerias-improvement-confirms-jonathans-anti-corruption-fight/


In 2012 corruption cash outflows reduced by more than HALF of the average over 10 years, you don't want to know about it, not so?

http://nigeriavillagesquare.com/forum/main-square/86371-nigeria-lost-7-92bn-corruption-one-year.html


- Railways revived,
- roads constructed,
- auto industry revived,
- agricultural production growing
- airports renovated with REGULAR international flights to Enugu & Kano and
- Niger Delta oil revenue shared more equitably to the 36 states and the 774 LGAs under the states full control,

yet you are lamenting and yearning to take us back to those who brought the decay & rot in the first instance.
Are you for real
Or you are simply allergic to PROGRESS?

Lucasbalo:
I don't know where you get this cocomaniac idea of me supporting APC. I loathe almost all Nigeria politicians. My grouse with the President is that he's numero uno and the buck stops at his desk. I guess that's the way it's in the civilized world. Read my posts and see how I have been critical of APC, Tinubu included. I don't belong to any political party because I don't live in Nigeria. I have family and business interest in Nigeria hence my concern. I will be on my way to Nigeria in few more hours with couple of my girls and I want the best for my native land. Don't confuse me with APC supporters because I am not. I call it the way I see . GEJ is a monumental failure hence I am supporting Buhari.

I did not say you are an Association of Pretending Crooks APC supporter, or did I? So don't work yourself up.

The monumental failure is Buhari & his bedmate, Tinubu. Jonathan has performed much better than both of them!
QED!!!

Lucasbalo:
Don't worry, your bag of rice and vegetable oil is on the way. I vote here in US and we do not support politicians for bag of rice. Goodluck to u.

You mean from the national leader of the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC

barcanista:
Replacement gigolo . And you?

Me, I be retired pensioner oh. Na only look I fit look

I thought 'excellent' governor Fashola tarred with covered drains and regularly maintained all the FEEDER roads he is responsible for! That is the least he could have done with IGR increased over 34 times since 1999, not so

That picture could not have been taken in the Lagos state governed by the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC in the past 15 plus years
It is simply impossible!

ba7man:
G.E.J shouldn't allow the Governors steam roll him into breaking open the bank for them.........Wait, he already has and he's to shoulder the blame now.

This characteristic of G.E.J is why people say he's weak.

It is NOT steam rolling. It is building our democracy through diligent separation of powers for the INSTITUTIONS.
We do not need strong men messiahs except we take ourselves to be cows that need to be flogged to do the most basic of things rather than equally endowed homo sapiens as the whites.

OrlandoOwoh:
Stop this obsession of yours over the charade called renovation of airports by Jonathan. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo built nothing less than five airports from scratch between 1975 to 1979, no noice was made.

If no noise was made how did you know?
Shameless propagandist

NgeneUkwenu:
A Rejoinder To 'Semi-Illiterate' PDP Secretary Prof. Wale Oladipo By Dr. M.K. Hassan

I was shocked to read a press statement from Wadata Plaza issued by a so called Professor Wale Oladipo, secretary of the PDP, saying that General Muhammadu Buhari is a semi illiterate jackboot. It is no wonder that our education system has fallen so low

Why do the supporters of the old pensioner who wants to match Obasanjo's record tell LIES at every opportunity The Association of Pretending Crooks, APC needs to stop this lie, lie habit.
Was a 'press statement' issued or the Prof. was speaking with Diaspora visitors

barcanista:
The bold is what suck the most... Which replacement? Replacement husband or replacement sugar-daddy

Na which one you want apply for as you dey ask so

Op kindly in God's name, delete port Harcourt from this list.
I spent six months of my Life there during SIWES and I can authoritatively assure you that there's nothing interesting about a city I had to wake up by 4am everyday so as to get to work before 8am courtesy of terrible roads and life wrenching traffic!

You cannot be serious
Amaechi who is constantly maintaining the state FEEDER roads and even constructing new ones while not NEGLECTING his light rail project for rapid decongestion of the city
I thought since he finished all these basic projects and still had plenty of money from the N3 trillion plus he has received so far on BEHALF of the Rivers state people that is why he spent N17 billion on the Association of Pretending Crooks, APC.
Is that not the case

obitobe:
how has Jonathan administration affected you, did it make you richer, was there a drastic growth in your business (if you have one), it is in his administration that down size was high...ao please can you tell me why I should vote for Jonathan.

Which downsize where are you talking about?

Are many airports not revived?
Or many vehicle assembly plants producing again?
Has our agricultural production not increased turning many farmers into millionaires?

Stop spreading unfounded, baseless RUMOURS please!

Lucasbalo:
Way more than 50% of Americans have access to basic necessities of life. Will put it at 85% to 90% of Americans. Anyway, your assertion is still right on point on the inept GEJ.

The basic necessities of life include-

- TAP water
- Education for ALL our children
- Primary health clinics and General hospitals

All these are constitutional responsibilities of the 36 state governors who have done almost NOTHING despite increased federal allocations and IGR. The saddest part is that we the CLUELESS citizens will be bragging about how much these state governor looters have increased IGR from our pockets, wallets, handbags & bags without thinking & asking if provision of basic services, utilities & infrastructure have also increased pari pasu all over the state.

For how much longer shall we remain stewpid
