marlow1962: Ok, but he also inherited embezzlement and bullet proof SUVs.
And then bought even some more as his personal contribution to fixing the economy. Is it just Tinubu that is a clown, or everyone in APC
chisomkachy: Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s first supplementary budget includes a fleet of SUVs for himself and his wife, a presidential yacht and the renovation of his villa amid a cost-of-living crisis for some of the poorest people in the world.
The proposal — which seeks additional funding beyond the annual budget approved by Tinubu’s predecessor — comes as the government asks Nigerians to persevere through pain caused in part by a raft of economic reforms ushered in by the new president. Africa’s most populous country faces rampant unemployment, soaring food prices and a plummeting currency.
Federal lawmakers approved the president’s request for extra spending on Thursday, but eliminated the provision of 5 billion naira ($6.01 million) to buy a presidential yacht. Instead, they doubled the allocation to a student loan fund to 10 billion naira, according Abubakar Bichi, chairman of an appropriations committee in the House of Representatives.
The lawmakers approved 1.5 billion-naira proposed to purchase SUVs for the office of First Lady Oluremi Tinubu — an amount larger than that allocated to many individual federal colleges. The supplementary budget also proposes almost 6 billion naira to purchase SUVs for the presidency — more than the amount initially allocated to fund a student loan program for poor families.
A spokesman said the president didn’t ask for a yacht and criticized coverage of the budget. The “public attack” is because of the “very simplistic way some of the line items are described by civil servants, who prepare the budget,” Temitope Ajayi said in a column posted to a local media outlet. New vehicles, he said, will be used by aides and civil servants, not Tinubu himself.
The legislature has also been slammed for buying hundreds of its own expensive SUVs.
Tinubu, who took office in May, ended a popular but costly fuel subsidy and removed currency restrictions that saw prices spike and the naira sharply devalued. That’s left many households struggling to survive in Africa’s most populous nation, where at least 40% of its more than 200 million people live in extreme poverty.
Last year, the country spent about 96% of its revenue servicing debt and the government plans to raise 9 trillion naira to help fund next year’s budget.
iwaeda: The poor getting poorer under Tinubu's APC.
It is terrible that Tinubu is continuing Buhari's economic woes predicted by Obasanjo before he surprisingly endorsed him over Jonathan in 2015.
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.”
More troubles for power plants, abi more EbinPawa shege for 200 million Nigerians who were swindled into buying Tinubu's packaging of Buhari as APC messiah of change nine years ago for him to get his own Emilokan last year
One of the worst scammers in our political system. We must not tire of exposing the 419er for what he is.
bennybuhari: “’I cannot take anything back about Obi. I said Obi said he wants to move Nigeria back from consumption to production and I said that is not true. He cannot do it because his own business survives on consumption. Is that a lie? He has been an importer and I said he deals with cash and carry economics; container economics, imports”.
“All the goods that can be produced in Nigeria, Obi imports them in his supermarkets. That is consumption economics. That kind of person cannot tell you that he is moving you from consumption to production. He will then be committing self-economic suicide and Obi will not do that to himself”.
“So, Obi is deceiving everybody and I can’t take that back because that is true.
So all the billions should be spent on infrastructure only. What about health, education, Environment e.t.c
Maybe if other state government across Nigeria had ensured their own states were liveable, Lagos would have less demand on infrastructure wear and tear.
If Lagos has less demand on infrastructure, then how will it get the people to generate more revenue it brags about
abc115: God Bless President Bola Tinubu God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria
Seeing how Tinubu has failed in all his previous promises since he was governor in 1999, and given how the man he alone made president in order to get his own Emilokan turn failed in a similar manner, should a wise person be prematurely excited about this announcement
stanleychimezie: Muhammadu Buhari has reportedly ordered that nine government aircraft from the presidential fleet should be sold. The move is aimed at reducing the cost of government, as previously promised by the All Progressives Congress politician, This Day reports. According to the raw calculations, the presidential fleet, which is registered as Nigerian Air Force aircraft, is […]
ican2020: The Federal Government may have spent about N5.8bn on the 10-aircraft Presidential Air Fleet it inherited from the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, findings by Saturday PUNCH have shown.
The PAF is the third largest fleet in the country, coming after Arik Air and Aerocontractors Airlines which have 23 and 12 aircraft in their fleets respectively.
Other domestic airlines including FirstNation, MedView Airlines, Dana Air, Air Peace and Overland Airways have less than 10 aircraft each in their fleets.
According to calculations done from estimated data obtained from aviation parastatals and domestic airline operators in the country, President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration will have spent about $58.58m (N11.598bn) on running and maintaining the 10-aicraft presidential fleet by May 29 next year when it turns one year in office.
This means that the half of this amount, $29.29m (N5.799bn), is expected to have been spent in principle on the large fleet when administration turns six months in office by November 29.
According to findings, the PAF contains two Falcon 7X jets, two Falcon 900 jets, one Gulfstream 550, one Boeing 737 BBJ (Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One), and Gulfstream IVSP.
Others are one Gulfstream V, Cessna Citation 2 and Hawker Siddley 125-800 jet.
Each of the two Falcon 7X jets were purchased in 2010 by the Federal Government for $51.1m, while the Gulfstream 550 costs $53.3m, a former Minister of Information, the late Professor, Dora Akunyili, had said.
The factory price of other aircraft in the fleet could not be obtained online. However, airline CEOs put the average price of Falcon 900 at $35m, Gulfstream IVSP at $40m, Gulfstream V at $45m, Boeing 737-800 (Boeing Business Jet) at $58m, Cessna Citation at $7m and Hawker Siddley 125-800 at $15m.
This brings a combined estimated value of Nigeria’s PAF to $390.5m (N77.319bn).
According to airline chief executives and industry experts, airlines spend between 15 and 20 per cent of the cost of an aircraft on its operation yearly. They say that averagely, a little less than one-fifth of the cost of the plane is spent every year on insurance, flight and cabin crew, maintenance, fuelling, catering and training.
Using the least figure of 15 per cent, it means that about $58.58m (N11.598bn) will be spent on the presidential fleet (which is valued at $390.5m or N77.319bn) when the new administration turns one year by May 29 next year.
Apparently, by November 29 when it turns six months in office, about half of this amount ($29.29m or N5.799bn) should have been budgeted for the running and maintenance of the planes.
According to the Nigerian Air Force’s website, the PAF’s current staff strength consists of 47 NAF officers, 173 airmen/airwomen and 96 technical and administrative civilians.
“The operational headquarters of the fleet is located at the presidential wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, while the administrative personnel are at the federal secretariat. The fleet has a liaison office at the Presidential Villa. Flight operations, training, aircraft maintenance and general running of the fleet are funded by the Presidency,” according to the website.
Nigeria happens to be one of few countries of the world with a large PAF.
Most major countries in Europe and Asia maintain two aircraft in their PAF, according to Wikipedia.
According to the online portal, Japan maintains only two Boeing 747-400 planes in its PAF.
The two aircraft, mostly for the prime minister, the emperor and his wife, and other members of the Imperial Family, is operated by the Japan Air Self-Defence Force.
The aircraft were constructed at the Boeing factory at the same time as the United States’ Air Force One. Both Japanese aircraft were delivered in 1990.
Wikipedia also states that the Netherlands government operates only two aircraft, a Fokker 70 and Gulfstream IV to transport the Dutch Royal family and government officials such as the Prime Minister and other ministers.
They are also used for international conferences and for private trips by the Queen and the Prince of Orange. For long haul trips, the Royal Dutch Airline is used. Often the upper deck of a Boeing 747 is used.
The Queen of England and the Prime Minister, David Cameron, often go on British Airways chartered flights for long trips. Cameron was recently criticised by the United Kingdom media for chartering a foreign plane instead of a British.
According to Wikipedia, the Royal Squadron of the Royal Air Force maintains a fleet of Agusta A109 helicopters, BAE-125 mid-sized business jet and BAE-146 regional airliner to support short travel by the Royal Family, the Prime Minister and senior members of the British Government.
Countries like Ghana, Algeria and a host of others in Europe maintain only one aircraft in their PAF.
A few weeks after his inauguration, Buhari had reportedly ordered the immediate disposal of some of the planes in the PAF.
However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, later denied knowledge of such directive.
“The story of the order for the sale of aircraft in the Presidential Fleet, about which so much interest is being expressed, is not known to us,” Shehu said.
The exact size of the PAF is treated as classified information and aviation sources believe the aircraft in the fleet is about 16.

A 45-year-old resident and father of three, Mr.Fatai Lamide told PUNCH HealthWise that no building in the community has toilet facilities.
The Oyo State-born mechanic said, “We don’t have toilet in this area, including our compound. This canal that you see serves as toilet to all of us living in this area. We defecate inside nylon and throw it inside the canal.
“For people that don’t want to use nylon, they have a special bucket that they use after which they pour it inside the canal too.

NairaOcean: In a heartwarming display of generosity and community support, Nigerian music sensation Ayra Starr has made a significant contribution to the Orimolade Ifako community in Lagos. The 21-year-old artist, known for her chart-topping hits and soulful voice, has installed a borehole in the community to provide clean and accessible water to its residents.
The Orimolade Ifako community, like many others in Lagos, has faced challenges with access to clean water for years. Residents have had to travel long distances or rely on inadequate water sources, impacting their daily lives and well-being. Recognizing this pressing issue, Ayra Starr took it upon herself to make a difference.
"I am grateful for the love and support I've received from the people of Lagos and beyond. This borehole is a small gesture of my appreciation and a way to give back to a community that has welcomed me with open arms," - Ayra Starr shared !
Is it not sad that in this 21st century there is no pipe borne water in every household in Lagos state that Tinubu alone used his master plan to make into a world class modern metropolis.
The lack of state-owned pipe-borne water in the homes of Lagos residents has continued to be a source of concern, a non-profit group, Corporate Accountability and Public Advocacy Africa (CAPPA) has said.
At a press event to mark this year’s World Water Day, the group said its monitoring team’s visit to state-owned waterworks showed that most of them are not operational.
The group said the waterworks it visited include the ones at Maryland, Mushin, Ikorodu, Obalende, Agbowa, Onikan, Ikoyi, and Amuwo Odofin.
Only the one in Ikoyi is producing water, according to CAPPA.

Another lamba-cious story to totori and excite the Tinubulation sufferers. Did APC not do us a similar lamba with Ogbeh and Buhari rice wonder
Esejojo: FACT CHECK: Did Audu Ogbeh Lie About the Collapse of Thailand's Rice Mills?
On Friday, Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture, claimed that Thailand has accused President Muhammadu Buhari’s government of being responsible for the collapse of seven of its rice mills.
The minister quoted the Thailand’s ambassador to Nigeria as saying that the federal government has “dealt” with his country.
Ogbeh said this was because Nigeria’s importation of rice has fallen by 95 percent.
Consequently, he said, unemployment rate has risen by four percent in Thailand.
“Just like two weeks ago, the ambassador of Thailand came to my office and said to me that we have really dealt with them,” he said.
“But I asked what did we do wrong and he said unemployment in Thailand was one of the lowest in the world, 1.2 percent, it has gone up to four percent because seven giant rice mills have shut down because Nigeria’s import has fallen by 95 percent on rice alone.”
TheCable fact-checked the claims made by the agriculture minister.
CLAIM ONE: COLLAPSE OF SEVEN RICE MILLS IN THAILAND
TheCable carried out an extensive research and the minister’s claim that seven rice mills collapsed in Thailand owing to Nigeria’s low patronage could not be verified.
Instead, Thailand’s export has continued to grow. According to The Nation Thailand, overall exports in January this year alone rose to 17.6 percent with an income of $20.101 billion.
Significantly, rice exports grew to 37.2 percent year-on-year — an indication that rice mills are not collapsing in Thailand. Instead, rice producers in the country may be needing more mills!
Also, the Rice Exporters Association of Thailand said rice exports reached a record high in 2017.
Charoen Laothammatas, president of the association, said they would be able to export around 9.5 million tons of rice in 2018.
The quantity of rice imported from Thailand into Nigeria is not significant enough to lead to the collapse of any mill in the country.
Information on the association’s website puts Nigeria’s import in 2017 at 23,192 metric tonnes. What Nigeria imported in 2015 and 2016 were 644,131 and 58, 260 metric tonnes respectively.
These figures are less compared to what Benin Republic has imported. The country imported 1,811,164; 1,427,098 and 805,765 metric tonnes of rice in 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively.
It is even suspected that most Benin imports end up in the Nigerian market through the land border.
CLAIM TWO: UNEMPLOYMENT IN THAILAND HAS RISEN TO FOUR PERCENT
Checks by TheCable found this claim to be false.
Trading Economics puts Thailand’s unemployment rate at 1.3 percent as at January 2018.
“The unemployment rate in Thailand inched up to 1.3 percent in January of 2018 from 1.2 percent in the same month a year earlier,” information on the website read.
“The number of unemployed went up by 26 thousand from the prior year to 475 thousand while the number of employed declined by 142 thousand to 37.07 million.
“In December 2017, the jobless rate was 1 percent. Unemployment Rate in Thailand averaged 1.45 percent from 2001 until 2018, reaching an all time high of 5.73 percent in January of 2001 and a record low of 0.39 percent in November of 2012.”
CONCLUSION
The claim that seven mills collapsed in Thailand because of Nigeria’s low patronage cannot be verified. The claim that Thailand’s unemployment is at four percent is false.
Maybe the ambassador, as quoted by Ogbeh, was only speaking tongue-in-cheek to show how insignificant Nigerian market is to Thailand — but Ogbeh, eager to celebrate his achievement in office, took a private joke to the public without crosschecking.
lexy2014: that still leaves the questions unaswered.
how is it a big deal?
I thought Indian investors were willing to invest $14b in Tinubus renewed hope agenda and Tinubu had "secured" the $14b?

What happened to the IMMEDIATE visa lifting, Emirates flight resumption and billions in investment from UAE announced below in September
[quote author=wwwihy post=125726830]PRESIDENT TINUBU SECURES LANDMARK DEAL WITH UNITED ARAB EMIRATES ACROSS SECTORS; VISA BAN ON NIGERIAN TRAVELERS IS LIFTED IMMEDIATELY
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and President of the United Arab Emirates, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Monday in Abu Dhabi, have finalized a historic agreement, which has resulted in the immediate cessation of the visa ban placed on Nigerian travelers.
Furthermore, by this historic agreement, both Etihad Airlines and Emirates Airlines are to immediately resume flight schedules into and out of Nigeria, without any further delay.
As negotiated between the two Heads of State, this immediate restoration of flight activity, through these two airlines and between the two countries, does not involve any immediate payment by the Nigerian government.
In recognition of President Tinubu's economic development diplomacy drive and proposals today presented by President Tinubu to his counterpart, an agreed framework has been established, which will involve several billions of U.S. dollars worth of new investments into the Nigerian economy across multiple sectors, including defense, agriculture and others, by the investment arms of the Government of the United Arab Emirates.
Additionally, President Tinubu is pleased to have successfully negotiated a joint, new foreign exchange liquidity programme between the two Governments, which will be announced in detail in the coming weeks.
In conclusion, the President wishes to commend the UAE President, Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, for his unalloyed friendship and his determined effort to join hands with him to fully normalize and reset to excellence, the standard of relations between the two important countries.
seunmsg: Buddy, no need to be angry. I’m not a blogger and I owe you nothing. What I posted is exactly what was released by State house press. When what Mr. President and Adebayo Ogunlesi are cooking is done, you will see it. For now, what they’ve released is what they want you to know.
Is that all that we are expected to know from the president who is well paid for his job in Aso Rock, in which he has failed so far despite the hype and paparazzi photos of movement without motion
emkz: One area where Nigeria shows laxity is the profound lack of patriotism by citizens.
The accused allegedly collects government contracts he lacks the capacity to execute, colludes with government ministers and civil servants, takes the government to court or arbitration panels and gets the government to pay settlement for the government failing to honour the terms of the contracts.
This matter began as far back as 2002 when Olu Agunloye's memo for the Mambilla power project was stepped down and FRC instructed him to seek alternative means of funding. The stubborn minister went behind FEC to award the contract.
When in 2007, there was another advertisement for the project, the fraudulent company Agunloye awarded the contract to then sued Nigeria. Since then, the project has not made headway.
It emerged that the promoter of Sunrise bribed Malami, another minister of water resources and some civil servants in the ministry of justice to defraud Nigeria into a scandalous settlement which fPMB has come out to say he never authorized.
So why did the ministers approve the settlement?
It seems many people celebrate their being ministers because they see their positions as an avenue to award contracts. Since they collude with fellow Nigerians to defraud the nation, the solution is simple. The Nigerian justice system is too slow to deal with these people.
Other means need to be deployed to seize all their assets, render their families poor and ensure that they live the rest of their lives in regret. Frame them up for terrorism and lock them up until they die.
You cannot deal with corruption without corruption. It has not worked in Nigeria and it will not work.
President Tinubu, by now, people ought to be disappearing.
Starting with ThiefNuibu who has no explanation for the disappearance of the IGR from Lagosians and the federal allocation received on behalf of the masses plus loans that their unborn children will pay?
Or what explanation do you have for the huge growth in Lagos budget since 1999 that is n[b]ot matched with common services and utilities plus facilities MAINTENANCE since 1999 when[/b] compared with the achievements of Jakande with much smaller revenue/budget in just 4 years

Lawmaker scores Lagos Water Corporation low
A Lagos State lawmaker, Mr Saka Fafunmi, on Thursday expressed dissatisfaction at the performance of the state Water Corporation.
Fafunmi, a member of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), said in Ikeja that the corporation had not been able to justify statutory allocations to it.
The lawmaker, who represents Ifako-Ijaiye Constituency 1 at the assembly, spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
He said that the corporation had the capacity to generate much fund internally through water rates but had relied solely on government funding because of poor performance.
'' Anyone that is using water will be willing to pay for it; the corporation has not been giving us water.
"Is there any new community that Water Corporation has given water? People depend on boreholes; even government estates have industrial boreholes.
"Why do we keep pumping money into an agency that does not give us the desired results?'' he asked.
He noted that the Adiyan Waterworks was located at Ifako-Ijaiye, where many of the residents had resorted to digging boreholes as a means of getting water.
''A lot of people are falling sick because they don't drink clean water.
''In the same compound, where you have sewage, is where you have a borehole.
''There is no way you can manage the sewage that it will not leak and pollute the water; everyone drinking such is drinking contaminated water,'' he said.
The lawmaker urged the corporation to increase water reticulation and supply to residents.
It's a well planned cover up masquerade for the 2027 war chest money Wike is raising for ThiefNuibu, by raising IGR with zero scrutiny away from the TSA.
ijustdey: President Bola Tinubu has pulled the Federal Capital Territory Administration, FCTA, out of the Treasury Single Account, TSA, effectively paving way for the Nyesom Wike-led FCTA to utilize the territory’s Internally Generated Revenue IGR for the development of the nation’s capital.
At a news conference Friday in Abuja, Wike also disclosed that the President has approved the creation of the FCT Civil Service Commission to allow for staff career progression.
CapitalLens: FCT Minister, Barrister Ezenwo Nyesom Wike flagged off the reconstruction and rehabilitation of public schools in the FCT at the FCT School for the Gifted in Gwagwalada. In his address, the Minister said that the FCT Administration will not only provide access to education but will also ensure quality and a conducive environment for learning. Below are some Photographs of the event.
How many free public schools are there in FCT compared to the number of private schools? Has Wike employed any teacher for the government schools since he got the job of minister with Tinubu giving him free hand on the revenue generated by the FCT instead of putting everything into the TSA account
