GMB Speech While Addressing Nigeria Community In The United Kingdom.
I Will Maintain a modest lifestyle as President -Muhammadu Buhari.
“One of the major killers of our economy apart from corruption is waste. Our scarce resources are being plundered away very carelessly and unnecessarily wasted. Let me give an instance, presently, there are more than 6 aircraft in the presidential fleet. What do you call that? Billions of naira is budgeted every year for the maintenance of these aircraft not to talk of operational cost and other expenses.
You may want to ask what a Nigerian President is doing with so many aircraft when a Prime Minister of Britain fly around using the same public aircraft like an ordinary Briton.
Go and check and compare with that of any developed country in the world, the office of the Nigerian President is a very expensive one inspite our high level of poverty, lack and joblessness. Despite all these, you still find a Nigerian Minister spending about N10billion to charter an aircraft for just one year. Now, for me, when we come into office, all these waste will be blocked and properly channelled into our economy. We intend for instance, to bring back our National carrier, the Nigerian airways. We shall do this by bringing all the aircraft in the presidential fleet into the Nigerian airways[ and within a year increase the fleet into about 20.
sixtuschimere: Former First Lady Maryam Abacha on Thursday Dec 22 attended the foundation laying ceremony of new structures at Maryam Abacha American University,Niger by the First Lady of Niger Dr Lalla Malika Issofou.
abdelrahman: Gamsu Abacha is making good of her family's legacy and popular motto of "no matter how poor they are, they will never be as poor as Dangote", Sagesse Gumsu, we get the drift, with a plate of meal like that? we dont see how you can be as poor as Dangote

1nigeriamyfoot: Seyi Abiodun Makinde will regret this stupid move The people of Oyo state will turn against this man He took wrong advise from the idiot who surround him We all know Mukaila Lamidi as notorious gangster who wasted lots of precious lives yet this idiot named Seyi Makinde appointed killer to such position We shall see the end Useless man From today on, I will never see anything good about your administration no matter whatever because commercial motorist are in for tough time These idiots will extort the badly which in turn will become burden on commuters Shame on Seyi Abiodun Makinde
Very wrong move and I hope he reverses himself soon.
ednut1: Cownu refused to attend. Shows how much he loves his freedom. One day one day the whole story will come out. I suspect kanu made a deal with bubu. As FG has made no attempts to extradite him.
Of course barawo bubu did. Otherwise how was he released from prison and allowed to escape from our country? That must be why he gave us the diversion of Jubril from Sudan so we don't focus on barawo bubu's exemplary failure all round in corruption, economy and insecurity. You na sabi man original.
ignis: I am not surprised. APC is the government of lies and propaganda. Always denying the obvious. Even if he was kidnapped, he will deny it after being released claiming it is a closed door meeting with kidnappers that lasted for days. Let us keep lying to ourselves.
He is not useless to barawo bubu in his fight against corruption. Please take note for future reference.
robosky02: Who is Presidency? This was the question the suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Engr. Babachir Lawal fired back at State House correspondents who had accosted him to respond to the news of his suspension.Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Babachir Lawal briefing State House Correspondents after leaving the Presidential Villa Abuja after the announcement of his suspension in Abuja on Wednesday
Lawal was seen coming down from the office of the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja minutes after a statement suspending him was released by the Presidency on Wednesday.
The SGF who was apparently reluctant to speak to Journalists on sighting them kept on walking his way out of the Villa. But Journalists followed suit. Persuaded to speak, the SGF in bits told Journalists that his suspension was news to him.
The interview with him went thus:
Journalists: Your suspension has just been announced. How will you react to the development? Lawal: Who announced it? Journalists: The Presidency
Lawal: Then ask them. Why are you asking me? Who is the Presidency?
Journalists: Have you been informed of the suspension?
Lawal: By who? About what? What about you? Have you been informed?
Journalists: Yes sir.
Lawal: By who?
Journalists: By the Presidency, sir.
Lawal: I have not seen it. I should have been given… I have not seen the press release so I cannot comment on it.
Journalists: It is currently trending online. Are you doubting the authenticity of the statement?
Lawal: I have not seen it.
Journalists: Tell us the outcome of your meeting with the Vice-President sir.
Lawal: I am always here. I always meet the Vice-President. I used to come here even before I was made SGF.
olokeded: On Tuesday, President Muhammadu Buhari's letter clearing Babachir Lawal , secretary federal of the federation of allegations leveled against him was read on the floor of the senate.
Patrioticman007: What do these Fulani Herdsmen want again ?. Imagine after leaving their cows to roam our roads, leading to trafficking jam. They went ahead raping innocent Igbo Jews. The Commander of the six Fulani Herdsmen, Madua Ahamba punished an innocent Igbo Jew & denying him of his 40k. Is it wrong to sleep with your babe 4 times ?. Where are Amotekun when you need them most ?.
sammhi: That's the penalty for not obeying law Man city is to be striped of 2014 title and given to a loser ...That's how it is done . If you field a wrong candidate in any thing and is found out you will loose . The USA lost the relay Goldl they won in 2004 Olympic and given to Jamaica because one of them took drugs ....It is the rule anywhere . Problem is we are not used to obeying rules or we feel because we are in power we stamp on rules The electoral laws is very explicit on it . It is the law Let's uphold rule of law ...That's how to grow . Next time every party will scrutinized their candidate
The bold part is very true for most Niegrians and especially so since we recycled a military dictator as civilian president faking to be a democrat.
hisexcellency34: Pure truth. Oshiomhole refused to do his homework by checking if certificates presented by APC candidates are genuine but now he is blaming INEC and Supreme Court. Hypocrites
Since Oshiomole was governor for eight years without certificate and their CJN has used technicality to declare affidavits are the same as certificates, how do you expect the Alliance of Past/Present Crooks, APC to worry about forged certificates etc? They are superstars with immunity from fake certificates.
Sirseedorf: Award for incompetency and cluelessness right. This are the kind of youth that give Buhari the effrontery to call Nigeria youth lazy. I pray our mumu don do o, hence we'll continue to be fooled by this Old men.
Mywd: At a point in life, we were all novice/new to one thing or the other.
I could remember my first time of using an elevator, I would have got stuck in there if not for the operator that was present. The reason is, I didn't know I had to press anything for the elevator to stop at the 7th floor I was going. I thought it will stop at every floor and the door will open for me. No be my fault ohhhhh�����
A video is currently going viral of a beautiful lady in a Ghanian bank, who don't know how to use water dispenser.
Are you still novice in the use of English language? Otherwise a lady doesn't know................
tempest01: Very foolish write up. Im surprised people are even engaging and it was even pushed to the front page.
@racoon if two lower courts could see through the forgery of the APC in Imo , why would the Supreme Court not see same?
They have no other choice than to reverse itself. This particular technicality they tried to play , they ended up shooting themselves in the foot.
Your APC support is showing through you because if you were apolitical like you try to present, you would not try to justify rubbish with this similar post.
Racoon is not APC. Read his follow up comments to the OP as well as his posting history.
englishmart: I don't care what you guys think, but I'm very sure that what happened in Bayelsa was normal. You don't use conflicting names in politics. Meanwhile it's the protest and disgruntlement the Almajirri, sharia Tanko led Supreme Court's judgement on placing a fourth placed APC candidate that made some other judges take the forgery seriously. I'm sure Tanko isn't happy about their decision. Meanwhile, I'm saving up to leave this country.
Do you want to abandon us for London like the man who is supposed to be in charge of our country?
cybertron88: This article makes no sense. According to the writer, PDP deliberately lost at the supreme Court so they could invite foreign interference to topple d government via protest. Does this writer have sense at all??
How can the follower of an incompetent illiterate have sense? You sef reason the matter boss
Racoon: Both APC and PDP have bastardized democratic & judicial processes in Nigeria but in all fairness, the APC have done the worst.How can one explain the highly inflammatory statements accredited to chieftains of this party cum govt e.g.the "APC will form a parallel govt" by Rotimi Amaechi in 2014?
gratiaeo: [/b]The All Progressives Congress, APC has pledged to congratulate President Goodluck Jonathan if he wins next month’s presidential election fair and clean but also vowed to form parallel government if the election is rigged.
The party in a congratulatory message to Nigerians on the occasion of the Yuletude and Eid-el-Maulud celebrations said it was clearly aware of the bleak celebrations occasioned by government corruption that has brought misery to the large majority of the working class.
Telling Nigerians not to despair that hope was near, the party in the statement personally signed by its national chairman, John Odigie-Oyegun said: “We are aware that it has been a bleak celebrations for all of us because of the poor performance of the economy, litany of failed promises and general decay in governance in our dear country, including unpaid salaries which is as a result of the drop in the state and local government revenue.
The drop in the state and local government revenue is as a result of corruption in government, The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC and oil theft, supervised by government. “We ask all Nigerians to exercise fortitude, because the change we seek is almost here. We wish to also remind you that the change, we expect will be a consequence of your action. That action will be to vote massively for the All Progressives Congress, APC in the next election to herald the new dawn and bid farewell to the failed leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
We ask you to collectively insist on free, fair and transparent election, because that is the only way to allow the wishes of the people to manifest. “As a party, we assure you that we will congratulate president Goodluck Jonathan and his party, PDP If our presidential candidate and party are defeated in free and fair elections, and we will not go to court.
However, as a party, we wish to reiterate, that we will not hesitate forming a parallel government, if the 2015 election are rigged either by the use of security agencies (police or military) to harass, intimidate and cajole voters or through the use of a compromise Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC).”
Highesschief1: Talk to someone when you feel depressed. What ever you are going through right now might not matter in a few years from now. Nothing is worth dieing for.
Meanwhile Has Femi Adesina replied Shekau for insulting Buhari? Just asking for a friend
Femi Adesina has no time to reply Shekau. Shekau can insult Buhari as much as he wants. Femi is busy convincing farmers to give up their ancestral land to Fulani herdsmen from Libya.
deebrain: There is a real problem. Not even in the worst days of the military did we have so many suicide cases. Face the facts. Leadership has failed in this country.
What leadership? The president, governors, LGA Chairmen and councillors as well as senators and representatives plus state assembly lawmakers who are all allowed to be in office by the people?
SmilingScorpion: Holy Ghost fire burn there eyes and what ever they use to monitor the destinies of your children in Jesus name Amen. For our God is a consuming fire.
OcVoice: He's the first suspect. He needs to be detained and questioned.

We need more critical thinkers, like you, in our country.
OgunLaakaye: See how toto just end this guy life. He was definitely jilted and couldn't just move on. And the same fvcking bitch that warranted this act will presently be on a peniss now shouting "fvck me deeper" This hoes ain't loyal. Guys need to programme their minds for the worst.
