djkirkoo2: I guess you are the most clueless because after Sanusi raised the 49 billion dollar missing issue, he was proven wrong then he reduced it to 20 billion and then questioned again and he later reduced it to 10 billion. So didn't all these tell you that they were all fabricated lies all because they wanted APC agenda? Because few days after the allegations, Sanusi was spotted at the airport with Tinubu and El Rufai.
Flashback Friday vibes.
barcanista: Since I was born, I have never witness the kind of hypocrisy, double standard and demonisation that is currently perpetrated by Muhammadu Buhari, the APC, Alhaji Sanusi, Osinbajo and their "good governance crusaders" against the person of President Goodluck Jonathan, Allison Madekwe, and other government officials.
Alhajis Buhari and Sanusi and APC have been going about using every platform to talk about a "missing $20b", cheered by their hypocritical followers that pride themselves as good governance crusaders. They have deliberately gone blind over the fraud of CBN under Sanusi as outlined by the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria report in February 2014.
Sanusi Indicted And Removed For Fraud According to the report (see below) Sanusi was indicted for Gross Misconduct that bothers on fraud and financial recklessness among other offence. The FRCN subsequently advised Mr President to remove Lamido Sanusi from office for further investigation and probe after the explanation of Sanusi appeared more like a tale and outrightly illogical according to FRCN. The council indicates that the explanation provided by Sanusi is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
April 2014: VP-elect Yemi Osibanjo Filed Case To Stop Sanusi Probe Rather than Sanusi to prove his innocence in court, he filed a case in Federal High Court, Lagos to STOP FRCN and Other Security Agencies from investigating and prosecuting him through three Senior Advocates of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo, Dr. Kanyinsola Ajayi and Kola Awodien. http://www.theguardianmobile.com/readNewsItem1.php?nid=24587
13 May 2014: Lagos Judge Tshoho Grants Sanusi Prayers High Court Judge John Tshoho rather than uphold the constitutional powers of FRCN to investigate probe Sanusi, he granted the prayers of Lamido Sanusi and BARRED FRCN from further investigation or probing Sanusi Lamido Sanusi. In his own words... “Prejudice is very pronounced in the language of that document. The language of the briefing note (transmitted by the FRCN to the presidency) conveys a sense of the defendant desperately goading the presidency to deal with the plaintiff,” “The plaintiff submitting himself for investigation (by FRCN) is like the cockroach finding itself in the midst of fowls. Such a cockroach cannot be innocent,”. http://www.tv360nigeria.com/?p=11923
Despite the fact the President Jonathan commissioned PWC to audit NNPC books to ascertain the veracity or otherwise of Sanusi's claim, Buhari, APC, Sanusi and their online agents that parade themselves as good governance and anticorruption apostles have been crying blue murder but refused to comment on the FRCN report nor the APC's VP elect role in shielding Sanusi for probe.
April 26, 2015: Buhari's Display of Hypocrisy In his usual hypocrisy, General Buahri vowed to re-visit the $20b allegation but said NOTHING about the FRCN report. In his own word... “Imagine a situation where the former CBN governor who by God ‘s grace would later become the Emir of Kano raised an issue of missing billions of money, not in Naira but in Dollars, $20 billion. “What happened, instead of investigating to know whether it was true that the money was missing or not, they simply found a reason to remove him. So these are the issues we are talking about…" Contrary to the lies of Alhaji Buhari, Sanusi wasn't removed because he raised alarm, he was removed because he was indicted by FRCN. Jonathan also never kept mute, he commissioned PWC to audit the books. Buhari was also blind to talk about prosecuting Sanusi for the CBN fraud. Perhaps the Emir is as "incorruptible" as him(Buhari)
The decision to suspend the Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Sanusi Lamido was based on a report of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria dated June 7, 2013.
The report was made after a review of Sanusi’s response to the query issued to him by the President over the apex bank’s financial statement of 2012. His response was dated May 20, 2013.
According to a copy of the report obtained by our correspondent on Thursday, the council indicates that the explanation provided by the suspended CBN governor is “a clear display of incompetence, nonchalance, fraud, wastefulness, and abuse of due process and deliberate efforts to misrepresent facts on the part of the leadership of the CBN.”
The council advised the President to exercise the powers conferred on him by Section 11(2)(f) of the CBN Act 2007 or invoke Section 11(2)(c) of the said Act “and cause the governor and the deputy governors to cease from holding office in the CBN.”
The report read: The particulars of the infractions against Sanusi are:
Persistent refusal and/or negligence to comply with the Public Procurement Act in the procurement practices of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(A) By virtue of Section 15 (1)(a) of the Public Procurement Act, the provisions of the Act are expected to comply to ‘all procurement of goods, works and services carried out by the Federal Government of Nigeria and all procurement entities.’ This definition clearly includes the Central Bank of Nigeria.
(B) It is however regrettable that the Central Bank of Nigeria, under his leadership, has refused and/or neglected to comply with the provisions of the Public Procurement Act (PPA). You will recall that one of the primary reasons for the enactment of the PPA was the need to promote transparency, competitiveness, cost of effectiveness and professionalism in the public sector procurement system.
ogaontop: How these guys quote figures without statistics or proof is amazing! Is 15.9 billion dollars not more than our yearly budget? Why can't we secure and regulate the sector if such revenue can be generated?? Is this amount not far more than the amount we are owing different countries and world bank; and we are still borrowing Na God go help us for this country!!
Is that not the reason why governors like him have failed since 1999 to employ teachers for the free education of all children in primary, vocational and secondary schools? All the over 100 governors without exception.
It does not matter to all our scamdemic governors that Obasanjo's PDP administration established UBEC to provide matching funds to help states provide free education for all our children for nine years. What a bunch of nincompoop scammers we have allowed to ruin our 36 states since the return to democracy more than a quarter century ago.
The Universal Basic Education Programme is aimed at ensuring free education for Children at the primary school level and three years of Junior Secondary school. The program was launched in September 1999 while the law establishing UBEC was signed in 2004.
Part of the provisions of the programme is provision of funds to assist states in implementing ideals of the programme. For UBEC, 2% of the Cumulative Statutory releases of the country’s consolidated revenue fund is set aside to fund the programmes and projects.
A Dataphyte review of the UBEC portal shows that between 2005 and 2021, thirty two (32) states did not access over N48 billion in UBEC funds available for improving basic education across all states.
The reason for the failure to access funds that are crucial to the educational outcomes of the states is likely because of the way the UBEC funds are structured. To access allocated UBEC funds, states must match the grant amount available up to at least 50%.
Section 11, subsection 2 of the law states that “For any State to qualify for the Federal government block grant pursuant to sub-section 1(l) of this section,such State shall contribute not less than 50% of the total cost of projects as its commitment in the execution of the project”.
What this means for instance is that, Ogun state has the highest amount of unaccessed funds up to N3.672 billion in the 16 years under review. In 2021 Ogun State could have accessed N946 million in UBEC funds, but to receive the “windfall”, it must match the amount of the grant offered up to 50%. This means Ogun State must provide the sum of N946 million and these funds must be for basic education and within the project areas that the fund covers. This means Ogun State must provide at least N473 million to access the available grant.
Bellotelli: Please read the third to the last paragraph again, this time slowly.
I said earlier that Jonathan is a clueless orator and a clumsy communicator hence why he allowed us to have Buhari, Tinubu and APC destroy our economy, democracy and country with propaganda lies.
Wickedfact: Your candidate in the last election, Atiku, was published as a thief in a Federal government gazette.
Where is your government gazette?
How is a government gazette supposed to be a court judgement?
Are you naturally dumb or just the evil effect of sniffing Tinubu’s powder?
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
Can there be a greater den of thieves than APC, which has ThiefNuibu and Buhari, Abacha's henchman in leadership positions
Islie: The United Kingdom has joined the United States in resisting a plan by the Nigerian government to give Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu, about $110m (N41.8bn) out of the $155m (N58.9bn) stolen by late dictator, Sani Abacha, Bloomberg reports.
The US, the UK and Nigeria are involved in a dispute over investment portfolios worth $155m traced to Abacha and held in trust for Bagudu and his family.
Nigeria is seeking the approval of a UK court for Nigeria to take ownership of the assets before returning 70 per cent of the proceeds to Bagudu under the terms of a 2018 deal.
Nigeria’s Attorney-General, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has denied ever entering a deal with Bagudu but court papers say otherwise.
The UK government’s National Crime Agency is now “opposing the Federal Republic of Nigeria’s application,” according to a motion filed by Bagudu’s brother, Ibrahim, to the District Court for the District of Columbia in the US capital on March 30.
The US Department of Justice said in February that its Nigerian counterpart is hindering its efforts to recover the allegedly laundered money from the UK.
Bagudu was part of a network controlled by Abacha that “embezzled, misappropriated and extorted billions from the government of Nigeria,” according to the DOJ.
While successive Nigerian governments have repatriated billions of dollars looted by Abacha, who died in office in 1998, the administration of Nigerian President, Maj. Gen Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), says it’s prevented from assisting America’s ongoing forfeiture efforts by an agreement between Bagudu and a previous government in 2003.
Abacha is estimated to have stolen as much as $5bn during his five-year rule.
That 2003 settlement, which was approved by a UK court, allowed Bagudu to return $163m to Nigeria “without admitting to wrongdoing,” according to US court filings.
In return, the government dropped all outstanding civil and criminal claims against him. Bagudu was elected a senator in 2009 and the governor of Kebbi state six years later.
Five years after the US launched fresh forfeiture proceedings against him, Bagudu and Buhari’s administration struck a new deal in October 2018 to transfer ownership of the investment portfolios to the Nigerian state, which would immediately pay 98.5m euros to the Kebbi governor and his affiliates.
The terms of the updated settlement can’t be implemented while Nigeria’s application in a UK court is pending and a freezing order is still in place, according to a motion by Ibrahim Bagudu, who is entitled to a $100,000 annuity from the funds and is contesting the US confiscation efforts.
Neither the Bagudus nor representatives of the DoJ, NCA, Nigeria’s Attorney General or Ibrahim Bagudu responded to requests for comment.
Although the DoJ and NCA oppose the 2018 settlement, Ibrahim Bagudu and the US government “recently commenced preliminary discussions regarding a potential negotiated resolution to this matter,” according to a motion filed by the US government to the district court on March 13.
Woke up with strength and vigour this morning and was up to face today with all hopes and aspirations but was sad & almost started crying after watching this video.
I've been an advocate of leaders been strong at all time with will power to carry out leadership responsibilities. And that emotional leaders don't go far but certainly not this way.
In leadership and governance, there's a place for 'Human face' no matter the circumstances. Widows to the best of my knowledge are integral part of our society and if we don't apply human face when dealing with them, am afraid we are far from getting there as a people.
Two wrongs indeed can never make things right and as such, can't fathom why the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams A. O. will treat this widow like this and even tell her to go and die when she's struggling to provide food for her family. I think it would've been far better to make her pay a fine for her wrong doing than this humiliation.
sharpden: The All Progressive Congress (APC) has said once those who looted the nation’s treasury join its fold, all their sins will be forgiven.
The national chairman of the ruling party, Adams Oshiomhole, stated this on Thursday at the presidential campaign rally held in Benin, the Edo State capital.
Mr Oshiomhole made the comments while receiving decampees from the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
“I’m told that there are a lot of senior people from PDP who have decided to join forces with President Buhari to take the broom to sweep away PDP to continue to ensure that APC continues to preside over Nigeria,” he was quoted by TheCable to have said.
“It includes my own brother and friend Henry Duke, he is the former organising secretary of PDP. We also have former vice chairman PDP and leader of PDP Edo North, in fact, once you join APC, all your sins are forgiven,” the top APC official said.
Oshiomhole urged Nigerians to return President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in office.
@ OP, what a wonderful story that should ignite us to advocate for the leaders to stop looting money for educating all children free in primary, vocational and secondary schools, with teachers who are well paid compared to politicians.
Gkay1: It seems our leaders don't have conscience at all
Et tu Zulum? Was he not the golden poster boy of APC propaganda for good governance in his first term, just like fake Fashola was in his tenure? APC is running a SpinOcracy- government of propaganda, by lies for 200 million mumus.
sonssyo: The figures over there is not even correct as it were, the prices are way higher in reality than what is been displayed over there
Abeg tell them o. Those who think 77k today is worth the same with last year's 33k must be sniffing what Tinubu paid $460,000 to escape jail.

Here are the cold fact behind the decision to tax more Nigerians...note the headline...more NIgerians
1. Tax revenues amount for 20% of government revenue, the rest is from oil. While this is better than say 1996, when it was 96% of revenue comming from oil, it is still too low.
2. Oil revenues are very low for a nation our size. We produce as much as Libya does, yet LIbya, even in the midst of war, can afford goodies because they are 9 million, while we are 200-250 million, if not more
What we are doing is like a man with an income of 500000 naira and 15 children trying to do the same thing as a man with the same income but just 2 children. Na debt go catch you in minutes.
3. As at 2019, government was getting tax from about 30% of the taxable population. 70% of the population does not pay taxes to the state and federal government at all. Also, if your income is below a certain threshold, you are exempt from taxes
4. Tax to gdp ratio is 10%. That is low for a nation our size. Add the fact that gdp is even very very low.
5. We need oil price to be above 130 per barrel before we can earn enough money for a balanced budget. Or to be fair, at least around 100 dollars per barrel. Since 2014, April, oil has been below 100 dollars per barrel, except for a brief period in 2021-22. Thus we no longer earn enough from oil, nor have we ever, except for the 1973-82, and 2008-14, earned enough from oil. . 6. Our economy is so poorly diversified (and APC is to blame here), that we no longer earn the money we used to earn from agric and mining...plus it is going to take us years to get back to where we were before, and we ar eup against countries like the US, Brazil and Indonesia whose agric relies on large scale modern farming, which is why they can export tonnes of food.
Even thailand, we cannot compete with them re rice production, because we don't have the climate for it.
7. We over import, and lose a lot of forex, nuff said.
8. We also have a hefty debt. Debt eats 68% of our revenue, and as at May 2023, it was over 90%...that is why TInubu went mad and said subsidy is gone, because we were in deep soup then. Even then, he has brought subsidy back, so that debt service may even grow.
9. Most states in NIgeria have poor tax to gdp ratio....as low as 2% . As a result, all of them rely on Abuja allocations for survival. Only a few states can survive on their IGR, and even then, the IGR Is still smaller than it should be.
10. IMF, won't give us any loans, and yes, we are going to rely on IMF Loans for the foreseaable future....until we end up reforming our tax system, and collecting more tax. That is what Sri Lanka and Pakistan are going through.
We better wake up people, and our government should stop looting and stealing money too....and make sane economic decisions....but with that taken into account, our tax revenue is scanty, and it needs improving.
Modified
For all those succubi who would gather to mock and call me defender of evil...
Also, saying that we don't earn enough revenue in tax is not the same thing as saying that
1. APC should not be held to account...they blddy well should, and yes they are wrong.
2. Tinubu is right to spend money on plane and yacht....he was wrong
3. APC government is corruption free...they are not, and they need to be held to account at all times.
4. APC is wise and running our country well...they are not, and they need to stop keeping our country on oil
If you are not a cunning defender of evil, why ask us to pay more tax before ensuring that Tinubu and APC looting plus wastefulness that is killing us stops
Reality dawning. If you don't want to borrow unnecessarily, then it's time to raise the tax
Modified: Make una no attack my comments , suggest another means of generating new income( projects money , expenditures) without taxing and borrowing
Tax and kill MO for 200 million Nigerians since it works so well oin super smart Lagosians since 1999. How about Tinubu reducing his looting and wastefulness instead of taxing us to ebilokan death and suicide

SadiqBabaSani: I said it that Bayo should never be allowed to release statements for Tinubu, he's crude as a tout.
"Whatever issues they are having us their own problem" what sort of Presidential spokeman talk like that.
Are you equating a highly educated somebody like hi, to school-na-scam agbero like MC Oluomo
July 28, 2024
MC Oluomo, others appeal to agitators to give Tinubu time
Leader of the Real Concerned Citizens of Lagos State, Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya (MC Oluomo), has appealed to Nigerians especially those behind hunger Protest to give President Bola Ahmed Tinubu more time.
Akinsanya stated this during a briefing at Akima hotel, Oshodi.
According to him, meaningful development comes with pains and takes time to actualise.
Lipscomb: Which achievements? If your minister get a shame none of them supposed to be still call minister anymore.
Tinubu’s achievements in rice distribution as the solution to poverty, inflation, insecurity and every other problem that he has worsened in a year of building on APC’s shege legacy of Buhari that was sold to us as change.
Omooba77: As part of efforts to alleviate the growing food scarcity and hunger in Nigeria, President Bola Tinubu has provided 1,200 bags of rice to each of his ministers.
According to the Minister of Solid Minerals Development, Dr. Dele Alake, the rice is intended as palliatives for vulnerable members of society, specifically targeting the elderly.
Alake revealed that the Presidency made the rice available to him for distribution, which will be focused exclusively on supporting the aged in his state.
The disclosure was made through a statement issued by Segun Tomori, Dr. Alake's Special Assistant on Media, in Ado Ekiti on Sunday.
The minister said, “Following the decision of the Presidency to respond to the yearnings of the Nigerian people to make more food available at the grassroots, 1,200 bags were made available to each minister to further supplement the established channels of distribution such as state governments and civic organisations.”
According to him, it is important that aged people are given preference.
“We need to reach out to our aged fathers and mothers at times like this to demonstrate the Omoluabi values of taking care of the old in the community,” he said.
“In the spirit of inclusion, it is important that we channel this intervention to mainly elderly citizens who do not have the strength to compete for welfare goods such as these at the established centres. We have taken their inventory and we are delivering to them.”
“Subsequent interventions will target other segments of the populace such as widows, orphans, persons living with disabilities and students in higher institutions of learning,” Alake added.
Miramonica: Some of you making illustrations of how 33k of last year is better that 77k this year, you're all jokers
I know economy is bad, but these youth corpers have been managing their 33k since January, and the wise ones have been saving from it, while the extravagant ones will spend theirs within 2days of getting alert from FG.
Now the FG in their benevolence have increased it to 77k, why won't corpera save money from it?
It's their money anyways, IF YOU LIKE SAVE, IT YOU LIKE FINISH THE 77K ON GIRLS AND ALCHOHOL, AFTER 1YR, FG go comot hand, you won't even see 1naira, na that time you go know say kaki fit be leather sometimes
Balablu incoherent nonsense that doesn’t invalidate the fact that 33k last year is worth more than 77k now.
Ivimmanuel: Naira keeps depreciating every day, very soon petrol will hit 2k a litre will this ease the suffering. We don't need this peanut and palliatives, make petrol affordable let the price of foodstuffs come down so people can afford to feed
Tinubu can’t do anything about this ebiNpawa shege that APC scammed us by calling it change. Tinubu is just as clueless about the economy as Bubu who he alone made president in 2015 with Obasanjo’s help, even though curiously he knew Buhari was clueless about the economy.
citizenisb: Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Muhammadu Buhari may not do well in economy and foreign affairs, except in military matters.
“Buhari is not a very hot person on the economy and foreign affairs,” Obasanjo said.
The former President stated this on Monday at the third International Conference on African Development Issues — themed, “Driving inclusive and sustainable development in Africa: Models, methods and policies” — organised by Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State.
While reacting to a question posed to him by a member of the audience: “Is there any hope for Nigeria under the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari?”, Obasanjo replied, “Is there any hope for Nigeria under this administration? I came back from Geneva, Switzerland a few days ago to attend a conference titled, ‘Are elections giving democracy a bad name?’ We had an election, we elected a leader and the good thing about democracy is that the power you have to elect a leader is also the power you have to remove him. I am saying this because I said earlier that if you don’t see any leader that has done well in the 56 years of Nigeria’s independence, then let us forget about Nigeria.
“I will tell you what I know and I will tell you what I don’t know. I know Gen. Muhammadu Buhari. He served under me in the military. His characteristics that I know, his behaviour that I know, he has not deviated from them. He was never a perfect man, he is not a perfect man and no leader can ever be a perfect man because they are human beings. But if you read my book, what I said about him is correct. He is not a hot person when it comes to economy. He is not a very hot person when it comes to foreign affairs. But he will do well in matters of military and he will do well in fighting Boko Haram.”
kenny714433: The same Buhari APC bots made us believe was the best thing to ever happen to Nigeria? When we complained then, they called us wailers.
We are not blaming Buhari. We're blaming the failure called T-pain
APC bots led by Asiwaju’s packaging to solely make him president, four years after making him cry by saying he was expired in 2011.
Did Tinubu not donate Yoruba votes to reinforce Buhari’s failures in 2019, just to get his ebilokan turn last year for “building on Buhari’s achievements”?
Who is Cardi B labouring in vain to fool with his senseless talk? Who
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
