The emergence of tambuwal portends more advantages to the Yoruba nation.

HOW is this so?
What are these advantages to the yoruba nation

SuperModerator:
Mr President indirectly encouraging tribalism.
so Yoruba people should have voted for one of their own

Did he tell a LIE

Tokunbohkinibig:
Bros, this Nigerian train is BUGGATTI and luxury ooo compare to India trains.

You mean like this one

But that has not stopped India from CONTINUING to make very serious PROGRESS in all aspects of its socio-economic life and slowly becoming an INDUSTRIAL rival to Europe and North America.

UchihaMadara:
When will people learn?

When our 36 state governors & 774 LGA chairmen ensure that ALL our children go to school.
QED!

baLLoTBOxX:
When countries have evolved to the level of using state of the art trains fully equipped with AC, GEJ is still celebrating old school molue type trains with no doors and windows.

Do you understand the meaning of the word PROGRESS

When will our state governors be wise enough to cancel this ILLOGICAL legacy of General Buhari's clueless two year rule as military DICTATOR

How can you do a job for which you have already paid someone to do
In those oyinbo countries that we run to, don't their LGA workers keep the public spaces clean just as we have in our own constitution?
Are some of our "lucky" escapees from Nigeria not even EMPLOYED by these LGAs to do such work abroad where they are living in socio-economic EXILE

texazzpete:
As far as I know, your only role on Nairaland is to divert criticisms of anybody in the FEC to the Senators, Governors and LGAs.
This is a thread talking about dire consequences to the economy and you're still desperately trying to paint the FEC folks as blameless saints.

Is there something wrong with you? Do you enjoy destroying and devaluing your own country?

I have not done any such thing as you allege.
Quite the contrary. Have I not used the word SOLELY, on this same thread, to refer to the attention given our president while the WORSE looters are ignored to our collective detriment

Was this not the post I responded to?

davodyguy:
with the election coming and Jonathan who spends money anyhow on campaign, Nigeria is in big trouble

Do you think it is inappropriate to have pointed out that our president is not the ONLY one who should be targeted
Are many of the governors not also campaigning, some even for the presidency?

Perhaps you need to take the advice you gave someone a while back about using the English Primer (or something similar)

voltron:
You are right it is not solely GEJ, but GEJ is the fall guy for every problem.. all the others are hiding their butts and pushing blames very well except him

However we as eternally VIGILANT citizens should not let them, right
When we don't ALSO focus on all these other leaders looters we short change ourselves big time!

phantom:
your second paragraph is a huge joke!

@OP.... if they are the same thing,why then do you and your fellow PDP guys still argue and vote along party lines?
both the APC & PDP are made up of crooks. why then do y'all want to kill yourselves for them on naira land?

A known crook who is too crude to pretend otherwise is easier to deal with than a very smart pretender who is even a WORSE crook.
QED!

voltron:
There is GOD in this Country
1: Nigeria is the only African country with the highest deaths of children under age 2 due to malaria There is GOD in this Country
2: We spent N40 Billion Naira on Water in 2014 and still yet Mai Ruwa and Pure Water is what 30-35 percent of the population survives on, only a mere 10 percent get access to Government water Nation-wide, 3 percent, have bore holes and the remainder of the nation drink from streams, There is GOD in this Country
3: So far we have had reported violent deaths from Boko-Haram/Fulani herdsmen and ethnic clashes totaling 143,000 thousand in 2014 alone There is GOD in this Country
4: Nigeria needs $2 billion in Q1 of 2015 to cushion the effects of Oil prices drop yet we have squandered over $60 billion between 2010 and 2014 There is GOD in this Country
5: Nigerians spent more than N200 billion between 2011 and 2014 buying property in the UK alone There is GOD in this Country


Please GOD have we not suffered enough and paid so much into your bank to get the best performance from you. haba Baba GOD you are no different from GEJ if this is all you can offer Nigeria in 60 dog-gone years

You wrote very well but ended very badly by focusing SOLELY on our president when you should know that in a democracy there are INTERDEPENDENT roles and clearly established constitutional responsibilities.

I have already shown how the 36 state governors were always UNITED to ensure our excess over benchmark price is shared rather than saved.
Moreover, TAP water provision is the work of the 36 state governors and as you rightly stated they budget money but do NOTHING while screaming president this, presidnet that to divert the attention of their clueless fellow citizens

davodyguy:
with the election coming and Jonathan who spends money anyhow on campaign, Nigeria is in big trouble

There are just too many CLUELESS zombies in our country with plenty of swag like sey na dem sabi pass
Is our president the same as the 36 state governors who are part & parcel of the federation

FG, states share $2.7bn from Excess Crude Account
OCTOBER 23, 2014

The country's revenue fell by N99.55bn in the month of September, thereby causing the three tiers of government on Wednesday to share N2.7bn that should have been transferred to the Excess Crude Account.

The Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Jonah Otunla, said the technical meeting of the Federal Accounts Allocation Committee that held earlier had suggested the sharing of the $2.7bn, which ought to have been transferred to the ECA that was established to provide a buffer for the country in the face of fluctuations in international crude oil prices.

Not satisfied with the revenue, which accrued to the Federation Account for the month of September, the Commissioners of Finance from the 36 states withdrew from the meeting and engaged in consultations for a few minutes before returning to the general FAAC meeting.

Upon their return to the meeting, they rejected the amount available for sharing and demanded for additional augmentation from the ECA.

Nigeria says too much boom time oil savings spent on state governors
Nov 27, 2014

Nigeria's finance minister said on Thursday that a significant portion of the billions of dollars drained from the oil savings account over the past two years was distributed to powerful governors instead of being saved for a rainy day.

Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer, is grappling with financial difficulties owing to a 30 percent fall in the price of oil since June, which has added pressure on the government's already depleted fiscal buffers.

The central bank devalued the naira by 8 percent on Tuesday because it was running out of forex reserves with which to defend the currency.

The Excess Crude Account (ECA) had around $9 billion in December 2012, but it has since fallen to around $4 billion, Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala noted in a speech to capital market authorities. Most of the falls occurred during a period of record high oil prices, when oil savings are supposed to accrue.

For how long shall we remain CLUELESS citizens beholden to the DECEPTIVE guile of our 36 state governors and 774 LGA chairmen as well federal & state legisLOOTERS

TheAlchemist:
It wont surprise me if the 2 children returned are Femi's favorite...
If Femi had come for my advice, i would simply tell him commence the process of adoption, to prevent any issue when the real father resurfaces in the future. The woman can spill the beans in the future just to get even at Femi, especially if the non-biological children become the biggest stars in the family. There is no way Femi would not have some emotional attachment to those children.

Can you commence adoption without the consent of the BIOLOGICAL father

naijababe:
So uncool of Femi to make this public. What about those kids?

Should the mum not have thought of her kids when she was telling LIES about who their father is
Now it is Femi's fault, abi?
SMH!

stevecantrell:
And what do you think they would do next ?
Your take home pay will be half of what it is on paper because of raised taxes. And guess what ?
It will go straight into where its always been going, that black hole -corruption.
Australia, Denmark etc have ridiculously high taxes but the have a solid social infrastructure to show for it.
If every state governor and LG chairman embark on aggressive IGR generation from the citizens, no one will be better off for it.

In fact , crashing of the price of crude oil would eventually lead to a series of social unrest in this country.

What do you think the social unrest will then lead to

ayukdaboss:
Yes we need to be flogged mercilessly to Discipline. This country is going down.

Kindly speak for yourself.
I do NOT need to be flogged to be disciplined as I am a human being EQUALLY endowed like other races who do NOT need to be flogged to do the right thing.

This country WENT down because those who flogged OTHERS mercilessly to discipline them were very UNDISCIPLINED themselves- Do As I say, not as I do leaders looters.

sebali:
When Okonjo speaks I wonder how she ever got to such a high position in world bank because I use to think that Imanmadu(man kn man) was peculiar to africa.

She has done an EXCELLENT job so far with all the progress we have made in reviving our industrial base slowly in cement, automobiles etc. You should rather be concerned about the loafers that we have as SINators and representaTHIEVES as well as the 36 state governors who just want HIGHER oil price benchmark so they can share & spend more with little concern about savings and capital expenditure =>

Budget: Sanusi, Okonjo-Iweala insists on 75$ oil price benchmark
October 14, 2012

“Actually the figure should have been 72 dollars a barrel and to give country the room to spend more, we adjusted the module a little bit and took 75 dollars to allow that little bit of a buffer and accommodate their concerns.’’

She noted that jacking the benchmark up to 80 dollars per barrel would take the economy in a direction that would be unhealthy.
Also, Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the CBN Governor, said that increasing the benchmark would not increase revenue for government.
“Increasing benchmark does not increase government revenue; government revenue comes from how much oil you sell and at what price.
“Increasing the benchmark just increases the amount of money that is going to be spent and I think it’s important to remember that.’’

More at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/10/budget-sanusi-okonjo-iweala-insists-on-75-per-barrel-oil-price-benchmark/

That was for the 2013 budget.
Below was for this year's budget =>

Nigerian president delays budget on spending dispute

In the 2014 budget plan document, the finance ministry set the oil benchmark price $74 a barrel.

The House of Representatives and the Senate last week each proposed amendments that would inflate the benchmark to $79 and $76.5 a barrel, respectively. Both moves, by increasing the price, would boost budget spending but reduce savings meant to shield the economy from oil price and production shocks.

The Senate report criticizes the "the continuous building up of the nation's external reserve above the internationally recognized standard of 3 months ... imports, at the expense of the provision of critical infrastructure."

Far too many of us are simply MUGUS hence these fools can lead us without qualms while we shout president this, president that for any small problem we have, including absence of PROFESSIONAL teachers in our secondary schools or unpaid salaries to state workers

No wonder some clueless people want an old soldier who described his fellow citizens as "senseless and useless" to come back and flog them to discipline.

wirinet:
A president is is king.

NO!
A president is NOT king!!
That is PRIMITIVE thinking!!!

adaybayor:
stop spreading lies, GMB was not part of the coup

Oh really and he was also not the Head of State, abi
In fact General Muhammadu Buhari is not the one in the military uniform in the Land Rover reviewing the troops in the photo

Assuming that even the LIE about him not PLANNING the coup may be true, just for discussion purpose, you may wish to consider the yoruba saying =>

Eni gbe epo l'aja ko j'ale bi eni ti o gba l'owo re - The man who stole oil is not as guilty as the one who received it.

No wonder the old soldier looked in total CONTEMPT on us and declared that we are "senseless and useless" before proceeding to FLOG and horse-whip us into discipline.

Meanwhile the man himself is an epitome of INDISCIPLINE and well hidden CORRUPTION

Did he not look presidential in this picture below when he was a MAXIMUM ruler and military DICTATOR after overthrowing a democratic government and truncating our development

Me think u are lost.

Nor be you bin talk sey our president dey desperate

Demdem:
Jonathan is very desperate.
The fool remains a curse to the Nigerian Nation.

So if our president is desperate as you ALLEGE, why would he keep paying the old soldier mega millions monthly salary so he can fly private jets all over the place

Any chance to engage your BRAIN and actually use it positively for once

Demdem:
Jonathan is very desperate.
The fool remains a curse to the Nigerian Nation.

That's why he pays mega millions as monthly salary to the former military DICTATOR, who overthrew a democratic government, so he can afford to fly private jets across the country.

LouisVanGaal:
I thought Barcanista once proved to you 'thomases' that the General and other past leaders were placed on monthly salary?? What's your biz with wat he does with his money..

Not so

Clueless plus daftness dey follow DemdeMUGU all the days and im nor even sabi

We heard the news that Buhari's chartered flight was denied landing permission in markurdi.

Here:

MAKURDI — A chartered aircraft conveying former Head of State and All Progressive Congress, APC, presidential aspirant, Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (rtd) and his entourage, was Wednesday allegedly denied landing rights by the authoriities of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, in Makurdi, Benue State.
Vanguard gathered from a reliable source that Gen. Buhari, alongside his entourage, was travelling from Bayelsa State to Makurdi to woo delegates of his party ahead of the APC delegates congress scheduled for December but had their flight denied permission to touch down in Makurdi.

[size=19pt]How Much Does It Cost To Charter An Air Plane In Nigeria? [/size]

Here;

[size=14pt]The operators include seven chartered jet and five chartered helicopter firms.

The chartered jet operators are Kings Airlines, Top Brazz Aviation, Wings Aviation, Associated Airlines, Overland Airways, Arik Air and Vistajet; while the chartered helicopter operators are Caverton Helicopters, OAS Helicopters, Aero Contractors, Bristow Helicopters and Pan African Airlines.

According to findings by our correspondent, the cost of chartering a private jet ranges between $6,000 and $8,000 per hour, while chartering a helicopter costs between $8,000 and $10,000 per hour.

Industry analysts are of the opinion that each chartered aircraft operator makes an average of four flights per week, with each lasting three hours on the average.[/size]

LouisVanGaal:
I thought Barcanista once proved to you 'thomases' that the General and other past leaders were placed on monthly salary ?? What's your biz with wat he does with his money..

- How much is that monthly SALARY, sir, for former military DICTATORS
- How does it compare with our legislated MINIMUM wage of a miserable N18,000?
- You also obviously know that the Jonathan/Sambo administration pays this HUGE salary to the old soldier REGULARLY something progreTHIEF Arewa People's Congress, APC governors cannot do for their workers who are even paid LESS than the meagre minimum wage

I hope this story is not true as it is wrong on so many levels.

arresa:
Presidency is not the beginning and the end of governance and duty, it's a team effort from the presidency all the way down to the messenger..

- Chairman, PTDF

and who has run three FAILED presidential campaigns, going to the Supreme court each time with expensive Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SANs) lawyers always.
