OLADD:
Ignoring your kind of stupid post would have been the most preferable option but it's a disservice to commonsense if that's done. Which 52% were you expecting the FG to save from? Should the FG opt to save money at the expense of its developmental strides and other financial obligations? Should they be keeping money aside and allow Boko haram to subdue the entire country? Should they be saving money and allow the nation to be grounded because of inability to meet fuel marketers' subsidy demand? Even if there's no corruption, the 52% FG share can't solve the numerous problems facing the nation in the areas of road construction, health care delivery, security services, salaries etc. No matter what Soludo or any other sycophants say, the bulk of the blames goes to the greedy governors (led by long throated Ameachi) who held the FG by the jugular thereby forcing the later to deplete the ECA. Let's be sincere Iin our comments.

this is where these savings thing gets to me. The money was not saved, and we did not see any physical manifestation of what the money was used for.
If gej can be held by the jugular and forced to deplete the ECA , then he had no business being our president and commander in chief, he was a mistake!
he was even shown how to save by his predecessor who did it successfully with less inflow of cash.

A genuine believer, who isnot a baby christian won't drink/taste alcohol. It is a sin.

When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want--cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.

This is tithe money ooooo ooooo.

Peritus:
The question is: how can you measure drunkenness? Is it when one has lost his sanity and is staggering and vomiting around?
Taking of alcohol is discouraged if there is no good cause you intend to achieve through it.
Once you take a bottle+ you may retain a firm mind, but not a firm will. You will know what you are doing but not what is doing you. People who struggle to avoid certain sin (especially the sex related ones) usually fall back to it once they drink because of lack firm control that follows such.
Only if we can "de-categorize" our actions from sin and no sin to whether it pleases the Spirit of God in us/glorify God. Only if we can worry more about what the Spirit desires than what our flesh lusts for. Then, we may understand Proverb 14:12 and worship Him in truth and in SPIRIT.

THERE IS A TIME FOR MERRIMENT, THERE IS A TIME FOR GETTING SERIOUS!

OPCNAIRALAND:
really? how is Nigeria divided, FFK just had a son with an Ibo princess, to me that's unity. Do you disagree?

and my cousin just married one very fine IBo babe, abeg how naija take dey divided o.
not to forget, the phone we I dey use type this post was bought from an IBo guy.

anonimi:
Please how can a reasonable, educated Nigerian associate leadership and integrity with Ebola Owu?
How can that be possible

facts from a minister who served both of them: obj could save, gej could not save!

Deadlytruth:
Very clearly illustrated and simplified by you.
The wailers have refused to tell us what motivated governors to go to court over savings under GEJ. It all boils down to trust. When people were wondering why Nigerians did not pour out into the streets in demonstration against Buhari for trying to remove subsidy the way they did to GEJ, I told them that it is not the removal of the subsidy that Nigerians are against but that they feared that they could not trust GEJ as regards the integrity and honesty to judiciously use the proceeds, but could trust Buhari more on that. As a good leader rather than blame the governors for deprecating his proposal to save he should have tried to find out why they did not trust him. Once people trust a leader they hardly ever resist his suggestions even if harsh and unbearable.

correct!
even the money they got from increase in pump price of fuel dissappeared.

anonimi:
The federal government INVESTED the money for reviving abandoned railways, roads, agriculture etc to generate JOBS, revenue etc in addition to paying the minimum wage increase.
Can you say what APC states used their money for

railways: which one, how much was spent on it?

roads: I still see pictures of bad express roads in the east, the second niger bridge is still a mirage, lagos Ibadan express way is still death trap. so which roads are you talking about pls , hope it's not the one we only see on bill boards.

agriculture: price of food never went down during his tenure, nigeria, and even jona himself imported rice during his elections. waivers for rice importation where still being given daY's before he left office. so wetin he use the money do exactly

paying minimum wage: hope you had not forgotten than ngozi borrowed money to pay minimum wage.

what apc did with the money : what money?

development does not just happen, you have to plan it and put some few things in place.
You dnt expect a Chinese man to come invest in an area he does not know under which government or authority it will be in the future.
As long as Ipod is doing those rants it's known for on social media and the foreigners are reading it, most will think twice on their investment or investing their.

amtaken:
Niger

Lagos

Ogun

Kogi


What about Eastern states?


Mxm.

he might have presented some projects their too to the Chinese, they probably rejected the idea of investing in the region

theshadyexpress:
let me lecture you on how government works just incase youre ignorant

The FG's share of federal revenue has been provided for in the Appropriation act as a source of finance for the budget, the executive dare not use a dime of that money for another purpose other than what is stated in the appropriation act cos that in itself is an impeachable offence, the best bet was to source for savings from the ECA as it is monies yet to be shared and so hasn't made its way into the FG purse. does this mean the money will be spent by the FG without the consent of states by the fg? definitely no, what it means is that all excess monies will be saved in trust for all tiers of govt until such a time when there is a cash crunch and the monies will be shared with amongst all tiers with the already existing sharing formula

and if i may ask why didnt APC states also save their share too or were they not in govt during those times too?
stop been ignorant it wont make you appear wise

correct me if I'm wrong o , but I thought 52% of that money belong to the federal government under the control of ngozi. why did they not save that one, abi the govs forced them to spend that one too!.

This is apart from the fact that they can't tell us what they spent it on o.

kayfra:
Obviously toothpick was used to aggrandize the point. Let's wait for import substitution to leave the conception stage to an actualization stage.

My biggest gripe is holding a significant share of our reserves in yuan. We will be losing money with all sorts of forex plays that are extraneous to the market. Basically China playing with their exchange rates. China loans you in yuan and expects you to pay back in dollars should speak volumes. China holds majority of its reserves in dollars and not yuan should also say something.

we are already losing money, so losing money is not the issue, how to reduce the money lost and provide a means to stop lose of money totally is the issue.
I dnt think the deal includes paying back in dollars or even collecting the loan in yuan, the trade deal and loan are 2 different things

EasternActivist:
Hypocrites...
Yet you didn't vote him in when he did all this.
Nobody gonna take your foolish rant here serious...

hippo...............
I would have voted him if he did all these for me!

I'm a nigerian for Christ sake, why wunt I vote for him if he allows me lift crude without paying kobo!

You too have a yes from me, to the finals of "africans are clueless"

Look at what he was wearing sef, who will take him serious, the guy beside him looks more prepared than him.

a president ill vote for
one who knows what it means to be commander in chief
one who will not bend to the will of others, expecially when he knows he is right
one who knows how to save for rainy days, even if he is not allowed to save everyone's money(the state) he can save his own( the FG)
one who will not blame others for his actions

a president ill not vote for
one who does not know what it means to be commander in chief
one who bends to the will of others , expecially when he knew he was right
one who can't save for rainy days
one who is is Jonathan.

obj earned less, yet he saved. jona earned more , he did not save.
governors tried to force obj to share , he showed them why he is commander in chief. governors tried to force gej to share, he coward even before the court got to decide.

During obj tenure, the govs knew who the president is, during gej tenure ,we had about 5 presidents

kayfra:
We have a genuine opportunity at the moment to right the ship. It will be a disaster if we don't fix the long term problem for a short term fix by being on China's leash.

At the end of the day, if most of our trades are within Nigeria like in other developed countries, then our fate won't be so dependent on foreign currencies.

you are making this statement as if trading in yuan is the only thing pmb is doing.
He is also making efforts on how to reduce imports on products we can't produce.
moreover, there are some products that we need that we cannot produce in the next 10 years, this deal will ease that problem considerably.

There are other ways to force production in nigeria while easing the cost of import that will benefit nigeria and nigerians.

layman's view: toothpick from china= 5 naira
toothpick from naija= 6 naira
solution= importer from china pay 1 naira extra import duty. money will be used to surpport local toothpick production

If e go dash me money like he was dashing everyone during his tenure
if e go allow me lift crude oil without paying a kobo
if e go let me determine the amount I will be payed as subsidy as an oil importer
if he go still state that stealing is not kawruption
if he wunt build the 2nd niger bridGe in the next 6 years






























then its a yes from me
jona, you are now in the finals of "africans are clueless"

LadyExcellency:
Why then did the northern oligarchy remove it from the budget?

where where the southern oligarchy when it was removed.
where where the southern representatives when this was done.

personally I felt south south senators should be aware of federal projects in their constituency at all times. It should have been one of the first things they should have looked at before the budget was passed to the president. bet some of em where busy tweeting!

ugolance:
The same story being repeated like a broken Congo record. The fact is you can't give what u don't have in life. The 'Promiser in chief' of all the armed liers federal republic of Nigeria is becoming so familiar with his usual 'I will do' lifestyle. #WeHaveBeenScammed

still better than " I will do" after 6 years in govenance

naijaboy756:
I bring you greetings from the current sorry state of our dear country. It is a well known fact that we played a massive role as steered by our own(Tinubu) to bring this present government to power. We did this partly because we felt GEJ was incompetent and because we had a platform that made one of our own to be vice( and ultimately president incase anything happens. Yaradua comes to mind). I have been thinking and I'm lost in between hiding under the shame of what I voted for and to scream so as to save my dear country and what the future holds for my kids. We don't need a prophet to tell us we voted in ERROR. We placed soo much hope on a man who doesn't have good past leadership records or even a certificate. We voted for him out of what we percieved him to be. We are all suffering it now. We cannot keep on answering Zombies. Zombies smile in suffering. I suggest we do something and urgent too. Can we impeach him so that our son can take over? The irony is that the career of our bright stars such as Fashola,Adeosun, Osinbajo etc have been stained by extended clueless-ness of PMB. We can still save our race and what we stand for. I rest my case!

abeg, who be we!?

What do you think "we " should have done in 2015 election, vote for I-buffoon abi!

If you tell "we" that one, he will tell you he prefers to suffer with hope, than to suffer without hope.

Goke7:
or no forex to import sheets of paper for his defence

and after it will be lack of forex to import biro.
let the judge offer his own biro and they will claim he is corrupt, trying to force the defence to do something it is not prepared to do . They will want the judge changed and the case started all over again.

judge : you can start your defence now.

lawyer: my Lord, there is nothing to defend o!, if not for the money we I dey collect for my presence, you for no see my face today.

* bet the lawyer wunt show up on next date, claiming his absence was due to fuel scarcity.

simple question to kwara state government, are you still paying his pension? If no, WHY?

I noticed that his pension comes directly from the money the state gets, it does not matter to him if the states gets enough to take care of its people or not. greeeeeeeeeed!

The blunders where there before the election, it did not stop people from voting for buhari. The economy has started it's nosedive during i-buffoon tenure, it did not start during buhari's presidency.

you guys can wail all you want, but you can't do nothing untill 2019. If he does well, you will wail till 2023.
