GenBuhari:
Buhari's opponents are really grasping at straws.

All they can accuse him of is allowing 53 suitcases to come into the country!

Regarding N2.8Bn it is so ridiculous it does not deserve any response.

If indeed N2.8Bn was missing you just have to look at who was the military ruler at the time: Thief Obasanjo who suddenly acquired his huge Otta farm soon after handing over power to President Shehu Shagari in October 1979.

And why did INdiscipline_arian and inCORRUPTible Buhari not jail Obasanjo

Either because they are paddy-paddy or he himself (Buhari) stole the money. So na which one

berem:
God bless you jare! I know what orgassm is but I do not know what heavenly feeling is.
Heavenly Feeling is associated with religion and not sex.

Any chance to describe

Omimah:
Mention the corrupt person Buhari appointed or is associating with.

I did much earlier on and quoted the post again for you.
Now for the third time =>

General Muhammadu Buhari is also NOT a credible leader seeing as he associated with Abacha.

tranxo:
A man can have ANY woman he wants as long as he can make her laugh.

and has money.

I think Sir Shina Peters said as much in one of his old songs. And one of the 80s R&B hits was a woman singing "No romance without FINANCE".


Some people actually say the origin of the word "handsome" has to do with have some MONEY in hand, which relates to handsome reward for example.

Omimah:
You are the one disgracing yourself.

This was what you responded to initially from me, right

anonimi:

arresa:

Credible leaders distance themselves far far away from bad and corrupt characters, but this man welcomes them and they are the only characters out of millions of credible Nigerians he picks from to work for him and on behalf of 170 million people..

General Muhammadu Buhari is also NOT a credible leader seeing as he associated with Abacha.

Where did you pull the Buhari indicted like Haliru Muhammed from

Omimah:
Has any court of law or tribunal indicted Buhari like Haliru Muhammed?

Do you understand what aressa wrote to which I replied
Kindly read again before you make any further embarrassing statement, ok?

LFJ:
Why are we crying over nothing? fayose is now the Governor of the state of Ekiti, and one of his responsibility to protect the interest of the ppl of Ekiti. What a responsible Governor will do is to prosecutes Fayemi if he has evidence that he steal from the government purse of Ekiti ppl rather than embarking on meaningless propaganda.

Since Oshiomole did not prosecute Lucky Igbinedion and Aregberascal did not prosecute Oyinlola they are not thieves abi
Such a simplistic baby thinking

Caseless:
he is...a bigger one at that. Asiwaju wont make dat mistake of 2011. They watched him return to pdp in pain and regret then. I'm sure no one trust Atiku anymore.

Continue deceiving yourself. If you want be MUMU na you alone sabi oh! Make you nor mind sey me I nor fit follow you do that kind foolish nonsense.

Your Asiwaju of Area Boys is a mercenary and will collaborate with the highest bidder for his political prostitution services, not only Atiku but even GEJ just as he did in 2011 when he threw ACN's candidate under the bus on the eve of the elections after collecting his personal stomach infrastructure in Aso Rock

Meanwhile enjoy this picture of your Asiwaju celebrating with Atiku on his (Atiku's) son's wedding in Dubai recently.

barcanista:
The question is, who will first go to Jail between GEJ and Atiku under the Buhari Administration?

My answer is Sani Abacha's surviving family
Bunch of HYPOCRITES and PRETENDERS.

Sagamite:
Thank you.

He is yet to answer any of my questions:

"Is he saying this man was not aware he was no more the sponsored candidate of the Democratic Peoples Party before taking his seat?"

"If he is aware his sitting there is as a result of a (or his) fraud, does he have entitlement befitting the seat?"

It appears his argument is he should be forgiven for, and it should be forgotten, all his previous wrong-doing before the court judgement. Judgements are not suppose to be retrospective, he should only be punished for what he does after the judgement.

That is one serious bizarre argument.

That would be a beautiful life for criminals. He is saying crime should pay.

It is flawed arguments to condone criminality like his that ensure WE remain like monkeys doing JUNGLE justice.

We need to change!!!

akinsadeez:
Salary Refund? that's weird.

I am of the opinion that the supreme court justices in this case have allowed their emotions to override their sense of law. I quite understand that they are very displeased with Inec's blatant complicity in denying the petitioner his right but they awarded 650,000 naira cost against both Inec and the respondent in this case. The salary refund is like double killing.

The salary that the man was paid was for basically for the services/functions that he rendered as a member of the state house of assembly. Now can the supreme court also order that all comments, arguments that the man proffered on the floor of the house be erased? Can they order that all the bills and motions that the man might have introduced be wiped off the record.

Oyinlola as governor of Osun state had spent almost the four years of his second term before the court declared Aregbesola as the rightfully elected governor. Imagine the court now giving an order that he should return all the salaries he earned for the three years he illegally occupied the seat. To justify that, you have to find a way of also reversing all the projects he did in those three years because he was paid for functioning as the governor.

To me, this seems like another Amaechi kinda judgment. The supreme court might be setting a dangerous precedent.

He should NOT have received the money in the first instance so it is only FAIR & JUST that he refunds what he received ILLEGALLY.

Exemplary judgement that HOPEFULLY manifests the growing INDEPENDENCE of our federal judiciary. Unfortunately one cannot say the same of the state judiciaries that are corruptly tied to the governors.

We ALL need to learn to do things properly in line with established LAWS just as the oyinbos do and we are running there to be voluntary SLAVES to them.

barcanista:
-Atiku has contested for the Presidency three times and Lost WOEFULLY in all three.
At least General Buhari has always been close to winning despite not running under moneybags.

Atiku sjould hide his head in shame.

So in your dictionary 'close to winning' is not failure abi?
So where your idol get money for not only three FAILED presidential campaigns but also Supreme court cases each time with EXPENSIVE lawyers, SANs

greaterlove:
You know this people can be impossible, they will resist anything just for resisting sake. If tomorrow the bill being discussed is to make nigeria a true federation they will still be the group kicking against it.

Therefore those of us who understand the BENEFITS should engage & educate others until this good initiative is passed and becomes part of our laws.

We should be the change we want.

ProfCorruption:
Great. Only that the idea of a federally guaranteed LG autonomy contradicts it. Or do you foresee LGs sending revenues to the federal government?

Depends on what the federating units are. If states federate into a country they decide how much of their own revenue to give the central government, while the LGAs also collect their own revenue from which a portion is paid to the state government.
What is ILLOGICAL is for states to expect the FG to pay for their created LGAs. Na who wan be MUGU

ProfCorruption:
I have a question for you. Should Nigeria be a federal or a unitary state?

Federal, each federating unit collects its revenue and pays agreed CONTRIBUTION for federal activities.

Obiagelli:
I dont have info of previous audits but i a glad the state goverment did one and got it out there for everyone to see. It will be great if other states and the FG do same.

FG to also audit the 36 states or what exactly

ProfCorruption:
LG autonomy is misguided. States should have full legislative powers to create and regulate LGs.

You forgot to add that the states should also NOT expect any federal allocation to their LGAs. That is FAIR, isn't it

beejaay:
why would they embark on street building, gutter constructing and other you named when they dont have access to their fund, they are left to the whims and caprice of the governors.

And that is why we should MOBILISE public opinion for this LGA autonomy amendment to pass.
Then our LGAS can do what they are constitutionally RESPONSIBLE for instead of simply bootlicking the state governors.

faithin9ja:
$35 billion, let Buhari tell us how he will improve electricity

You go wait tire, my dear brother.
Buhari only has one plan and one plan only - to stop corruption by locking EVERYONE up in jail......okay actually NOT every CORRUPT person will be locked up. He will put his kinsmen in house arrest, just as he did to President Shehu Shagari in 1983/84 while the Vice President, Alex Ekwueme was thrown into jail If you are his paddy man and helped him win election he will simply IGNORE your corrupt practices, just as he did for the 53 suitcases of forex brought in by his Aide-de-Camp while currency exchange was going on under his military DICTATORSHIP.

ogb5:
This pikin, why are you asking nonsense question. Did Buhari campaign on any economic policy or economic blueprint?

Buhari only promise is that he will not be corrupt. Once you have buhari, believe me, without any economic planning, Nigerians will start enjoying constant electricity.

The power plants will simply look at Buhari and start springing from thin air.
Even the criminals like Tinubu and Atiku who will help in putting buhari in power will automatically change their ways and stop stealing when buhari becomes the ruler.

Abi oh na so we go dey see am for miracle upon magic as the old soldier goes about flogging his "senseless & useless" fellow citizens into discipline

GenBuhari:
Federal or state road , FG is responsible for the condition of the whole country.

You are not suggesting that the Transformation Agenda is only for state roads and nothing else are you?

I thought your Confusion Break Bone (CBB) problem was only limited to your screaming Ebola is a hoax all over the place. I nor sabi sey the thing pass that level

PaulJohn1:
Oga Anoni... this is someone from that region accusing the Op of lying about the said road being the only Federal road linking the two states, but couldn't dispute the fact that it's a federal road linking Abia and Akwa-Ibom state.

Point well taken, PJ.
Thanks.

PaulJohn1:
Don't let your support for GEJ stop you from being objective when you should. We all know interstate roads are usually under FG.

Oga PJ, na simple question I ask oh.
I said the PARTICULAR picture....how we go take know sey na interstate.
QED!

NgeneUkwenu:
Google it! What happened to your crayon?? Guess because Tinubu was not mentioned!

You too smart......oya chop knuckle

This photo is evidence of how the transformational agenda is progressing.

How do we know if the road in this particular picture is a =>

- federal
- state or even
- LGA

road

Max24:
What about the accounts of the old council men? Were their accounts never audited? To the best of my knowledge this is the first time APC in Lagos is auditing accounts. If they did audit the old accounts what happened to those indicted? Curiously, i have noticed that not one elected official in Lagos has ever been indicted or prosecuted for corruption for the past 15years APC has ruled Lagos. Or can u name any Commissioner, State House of Assembly member, LG Chairman, Councillor ever indicted and prosecuted in Lagos for corruption for the past 15years. Yet,we all pretend that corruption is Nigeria's No 1 albatross. (hope u know am not an adversary but only engaging u in national discourse).

Yes, because Nigeria to them is only the federal government UNTIL they get there, (if they do)

omenka:
Their opposition to LG autonomy is the greatest hypocrisy yet from the governors. They lobby for complete autonomy of their respective states yet don't want the LGAs to be autonomous. Perhaps it would have made more sense if the bill had sought to eliminate the FG's financial obligations to the LGs altogether, that way, they would stop being the cash cows they've been for the state governors and the political parties.

The only purpose served by the LGs as they stand today is just to finance Parties'/ governors' social activities and a platform to reward party loyalists and friends of governors.

I am pro LG autonomy, pro state autonomy, pro INEC autonomy, pro resource control, pro federalism, pro Buhari and pro APC.

Was, am, and will be anti PDP (at least for the foreseeable future).

I don highlight the main areas of your post wey I share with you

ChimaAdeoye:
Exactly !

The LGAs have continued to be a drain pipe to waste 20% of the national budget! No single LGA ever embark on street building, gutter building or even building more elementary schools! It is all done by the state governments. So what do the LGAs do with the 20% federal allocation ? Except to share the money each month and wait for the next month's allocation to arrive and be shared.

The op must be one of those councillors looting this nation thru the dysfunctional LGA system

They are currently tied to the aprons of the state governors and most of them are not even elected. So if you have any query on performance by LGAs you should direct them to the over "oversight" supervisory governors, don't you think

barcanista:
we have councillors that are supposed to watch over the Chairman and his/her executives. We have the people that are sooooo close to the councillors. We don't need any other regulatory body again for LG

I endorse this opinion wholeheartedly

TabletMan:
Lolz... That's a small bridge across a swamp or stream, take a close look at the pix and u will see some houses behind the swamp.

The last time I went to the site of 2nd niger bridge, work has been stopped, I saw two crane and no staff of JB, their ferry crane has been moved away from the river.
I will be there in the next 12hours to know what's up.

Any update from your August visit?
A new thread with pictures from the visit will be great.

omenka:
8 out of 57 found wanting, hmmmm, not bad. Nevertheless, it is important that Fashola demonstrates just how much he abhors corruption by making sure those monies are returned to the government coffers and ensure that the law takes its course and found guilty are made to do time (not just let off like Stealer Udula).

We shall be watching!

akinsadeez:
That is the essence of competition. MTN was selling a Sim Pack for 35000 naira and offering seven days validity on recharge cards before Glo came on board and now sim cards are being sold for 100 naira.

I think the best solution is to have a federal Govt funded Cable Company on the level of DSTV, like NNPC mega stations in the petroleum industry.

Is Glo a federal government funded mobile phone company
Why was NITEL, the federal government funded company NOT able to demonstrate "the essence of competition" against MTN?
Would you prefer all the corruption and WASTE that characterises NNPC to bedevil this your proposed federal govt funded cable company?
Abeg make we think am well oh!
