Well, that is good news to hear. One down, many more to come. But i want to plead with d relevant authorities to vigorously follow the leads presented by this succes to the end. The most important way to effectively counter and curtail, if not eradicate terrorist organisations, is to ascertain and block their sources of finance. They only just need to follow d money, and it would lead them to the terrorists sources of finance and those behind them. I strongly believe that foreign elements are behind all this. No local political or religious group alone have such financial capability to throw about.
This is a grand oppurtunity and we must not misfire.

DaBullIT:
You are making sense

News has it that the 400B used to bail state governors out would have been shared if it were clueless in charge, but some dumbashinos said it's from treasury yeye people

Treasury ke! Believe you me, if it was clueless that was in charge, d various debts would have risen by 100%. Dont mind d myopic haters that dont want Nigeria to succeed.

yeah! I agree with point we must confront boko haram head on, not d other way round. But we also must be patient with d new government. Things are not that easy when dealing with faceless people, especially ones as sophisticated as they are. Even d US and its so-called coalition forces are still finding it hard to curtail the likes of ISIS and Al qaida, despite all their numerical advaantages in weaponry and technology. A terrorist war especially one brought to and fought in a planless urban area, is always difficult to win, more especially when you can not identify the perpetrators. Thus, d government must take time to restrategise and fight back properly. God helping us, we shall prevail!

DaBullIT:
People are taking easy way out, But Dullard won't allow them , a dullard indeed using his daura dullness to dull Barawos

Haters I hear you are called wailers now , I'm sure your story will change soon

Meanwhile NS Adviser you go do account tire

I tell you. D guy man go solve maths tire till his calculator go stop to work. Those who are calling d president President Buhari, have now become d dumbassinhos. They are haters simply becos they can't cope with d fact that the old man from daura is carefully, slowly but decisively doing things that his clueless drunk predecessor could not do for good six wasted years. Whether d devil likes it or not, d president must succeed. Nigeria must improve! And so shall it be!

oh! What a moving piece of writing! An emotional thesis coming from a patriot whose patriotic spirit has been diminished and relegated to a mournful position, as a result of the pitiable and repulsive state of affairs emanating from his own country. A country that has brought so much evil and pain upon many accross the globe; that even God Himself and His laws are not exempted from the carnage of the US-led Anglo Neo con Empire of Satan.

A country in which you can not collect rain water without paying for it. With institutions satisfying the wishes of the Devil: a police force racist to the core and specializes in killing blacks and latinos even from the back.

A nation in which "The game is rigged,” writes Senator
Elizabeth Warren in her new book A
Fighting Chance. It's rigged because the rich and their lobbyists have rigged the rules of the game
to their favor. The rules are reflected in a tax code and
bankruptcy laws that have seen the greatest transfer of
wealth from the middle class to the rich in U.S. history. The result? America has the most billionaires in the world, but not a single U.S. city ranks among the world's most livable cities. Not a single U.S. airport is among the top 100 airports in the world. The bridges, road and rail are falling apart, and the middle class is being guttered out, thanks to three decades of stagnant wages, while the top 1 percent enjoys 95 percent of all economic gains. A rigged tax code and a bloated military budget are
starving the federal and state governments of the revenue
it needs to invest in infrastructure, which means today
America looks increasingly like a second rate nation, and
now new data shows America's intellectual resources are
also in decline. For the past three decades, the Republican Party has waged a dangerous assault on the very idea of public education. Tax cuts for the rich have been balanced with spending cuts to education. During the New Deal era of the 1940s to 1970s, public schools were the great leveler of
America. They were the great achievement. It was
universal education for all, but today it’s education for those fortunate enough to be born into wealthy families or live in wealthy school districts. The right’s strategy of defunding public education leaves parents with the option of sending their kids to a for-profit school or a theological school that teaches kids thier ancestors kept dinosaurs as pets.

Cost of education increasing everyday, thereby pushing many of the poor out of line. With some government schools forbidden the teachings of Christ, but encourages degrees in witchcraft studies and occultism. Yet they go about preaching justice and equality---a clearly defined case of hypocrisy!


The richest country in the world, but nearly 50 million of your people don't have basic health care coverage. And it even became worse when the World
Health Organization ranks your healthcare system 37th
'best' in the world, just above Slovenia, and just below
Costa Rica. (And far below Colombia, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia
and Morocco.)


God made them Adam and Eve, But the US want us to marry them as Adam and Steve! Thus redefining God's law!

So you can understand why Mr. Carpenter could not put up his own country's flag! The reality speaks for itself! Not forgetting that

He is just one of the few ones awake!

Mogidi:
Am I missing something?
Workers should thank God their salaries were paid but was Buhari's govt not supposed to pay its workers?
Did they suddenly agree to work for free?
Are we supposed to thank our employers for paying our salaries?

In as much as i support d new government, it would be foolish to point at matters such as d payment of salaries to workers, as achievement. Infact, Lie lai mohamed is a stupid praise singer. Else, how can one of his pedegree single out d payment of salaries as a great achievement in a country as rich as Nigeria, when there are much more pressing matters begging for attention? Like u said, were they not working to be paid? That guy makes me angry i swear!

What they should be concerned about now is how to tackle d problem of insulgency in d north. I know is not easy, but with more commitment, things can turn around for good, not singing useless songs by foolish praise singers!

And again, i wonder how d damn state governments will be able to payoff their loans on d long run. Except something happen in d international market price of oil, i c little hope for financial recovery on d part of our economy. Nevertheless, Buhari must succeed, whether d devil likes it or not.

May God help us all!

Nobody needs Biafra to fight for the Jews. God has and will always fight for the Jews.

This Biafran thing is becoming more silly everyday.


Pathetic!

Crap!

obama is a lunatic, and all those that are supporting this evil in d form of human right, are d most despicable set of lunatics ever to grace d earth. Man is indeed a failed project. Even animals dont do gay. Pathetic

Well, that is d price you pay when you chose to roll ,line, hook and sinker, with the likes of d EU, for some damned porrage of over hyped continental interelationship, and d return is a burden u may never been able to bear. They better quit d EU and be free from their choking financial and economic slavery.

Buchukwu:
And will appointing non-northerner change the standard of living of people from those areas? Or will it make naira gain value against dollar? Maaaaad People

Pls ask d myopic op.

and whats d big deal? The governor reserve d right to ask for any package that he thinks will suit his state better. But conversely, the federal govt is not obligated to his demands. So, let sleeping dogs lie! You are free to wake them only if d deed is done.

Whynotthetruth:
I laughed off at your style of trying to play smart but by half with favourable figures and generalizing where it covers your deceit especially with you being blind to anything that justifies the debts...Anyway, issue of debt burden has been cleared here severally...So I won't argue back and forth with you...Subject of discuss here is what is in the treasury...And till you prove to me how $30billion dollars which is more seven times our annual budget is virtually empty treasury or how over $2billion dollars that can finance our national budget, is virtually empty treasury or how our investment in SWF whose dividends would soon start pouring in is virtually empty treasury then we have no discussion here....

Still you won't concede the reality......then no need to further this charade..

I live in Ph and I never wanted wike.But he is there already. Our prayer now should be for him to work in Rivers state. If he fails, it affects we the citizenry of the state,he bloody wont be affected.

Or are you not aware how he inherited about $60 billion in external reserve from Yar' adua, only to successfully deplete the amout to a pitiable sum, and still wickedly plunge us into a massive Fed Govmnt debt of about $21 billion?

Is that not enough to qualify for something?

raumdeuter:
Thats one of the junk journalism that TANoid and its media arm engaged in. Which led to the disgrace of the President Jonathan back to eating fish and drinking ogogoro

Tell anyone to quote where Buhari said he would make $1 = N1 and lets see

But since you know the average Tanoid has the intelligence of a pubic louse all you would hear is more and more senseless yarns

To a TANoid bringing down the value of the Dollar means making dollar equal to Naira

You make sense die!

Hmmmm.... But there are some vital factors we must always take into thought, which are, the concepts of collective will of the populace, and spirituallism-the determinate councel of the powers that be-the cosmic orderliness of events.

These two factors are chief-way ahead in any war before weapons and size of armies can come in for consideration.

What does this mean? Just take for instance the Isreal vs Arabs gang up in the six day war of 1967, which Isreal decisively won. One may wonder how it was possible for Isreal to so prevail, but that would only be because such is forgetting the Biblical position (for those who believe in God) of God's convenant with Isreal---the promise unto Abraham and Solomon viz the temple building: a typical example of the spiritual orderliness of things.

Again, the Principle of determinate will and collectivism of the people was fully in play in the Vietnam vs American war, in which the far more inferior Vietnamese overwhelmingly beat the all powerful USA right, left and centre, not minding the USA busy killing off innocent villagers-women and children.

The same was seen in the Afghan vs Soviet war, wherein a bunch of riff-raffs Afghan soldiers stood firmed and shamed the Almighty Soviets.

Not forgeting Serbia, which single handedly stood up against the US-led NATO empire war machine for whole 77days, though it finally succumb to the enemy. Nevertheless, collectivism was there, visible and standing tall.

But the same can not be said of Iraq vs USA/NATO where top Iraqis Generals were bribed not to fight back. The same also goes for Libya, Afghanistan, places where the government as at that time doesn't enjoy the full backing of the people. But it is the opposite in Ukraine where the Eastern seperatists (though covertly aided by Russia) are standing tall, and have twice defeated the Ukrainian army which do not enjoy most of the support of its own people in the ongoing war, unlike the seperatists, despite not having air power which the Ukrainians have at their disposal.


No doubt that weapons, size and capabilities of a nation do plays important role in a war, especially one of a larger scale, but its main determinants are the two concepts as described above.

Just take World War1 into consideration. Why did the war ended in the 11th month, on the 11th day, and at the 11th Hour?
It is simple: THE COSMIC ORDERLINESS OF THINGS!

Thus, we can say that if these two factors stand for you or against you, it would not matter the nature of your size, weapons or capability, depending if they are for you or against you!

Buhari for president 2019

The campaign has kicked off

Make he be 112 years, i go still vote am.. And old, kunu sippin, conscious, calculative and decisive PMB, is anyday anytime better than a handsome, young, clueless, extravagant and a weakling kaikai drunk waterside man.

Bro, that you don't understand a system doesn't make it a lie...It is rather better for you to ask questions or read up on your own to understand same...so that you can talk or argue as an informed individual...

Let me help you a bit...

1)Money was borrowed to augment accrued share of federal government from federation account to meet its obligations...

2)Revenue comes in monthly...And budgets are based on expected revenue...with provisions made for financing of deficits...

3)Have you ever imagined where the money they shared yesterday came from?...What about the NLNG tax they are forcing buhari to also share?...do you know how much we make monthly?...

4)$30billion is in our external reserve...which is managed by CBN... it is saved for emergencies and also as a guide or shock absorber to monetary/currency brouhaha...

5)Over $2billion is in our Excess Crude Account(ECA)...which is a saving account where all extra money made from crude sales above the budgeted benchmark are saved...

6)Other ministries, agencies etc have their allocations too based on budgets for the fiscal year...Funds are released to them as the president deems fit based on scale of
preference...Funds released to them are domiciled in their account and not necessarily finished immediately... They use these monies based on need assessment taking cognizance of budget as passed...

7)Hope it is clear to you now?...Quit being arrogant especially when issues you know nothing about is being discussed...

Trash upon trash!

When i see trollers posts like these, i feel ashamed and wonder how we can actually get it right in this country, when some people so resolvely stand in anthemic posture to support their own decline and possible destruction.

Yes! Monies are made every month, and d total sums are shared between the various tiers of government: who on earth did not know that?
The money shared by d 3Tiers yesterday emanated from this process. But does it change d fact dat money was VIRTUALLY not left in the accounts? Must we explain what is meant by d use of d word ''virtually? Okay,let me help u.
It conotes that the REALITY FALLS FAR BELOW WHAT WAS EXPECTED UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES IN A GIVEN SITUATION.

Now get these to ur pumped up egoism and learn wisdom:

THE STATE OF NIGERIA'S ACCOUNT BASES SINCE DEMOCRATIC INCEPTION.

It Slided in Mid 2008 during the recession, when the crude price fell to $35 per barrel in 2009, till his death.

3. PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN:

EXTERNAL DEBT
Inherited: $3.94 billion Dollars
As At Now:$9.3 billion Dollars
http://www.dmo.gov.ng /oci/edebtstock /docs/External%20Debt%20Stock% 20as%20at%2030th%20June_%2 02014.pdf

As at Now it is $100 per barrel

http://en.wikipedia.org /wiki/World_oil_market_chronolo gy_from_2003

Meaning, Jonathan have access to more money than Yar Adua, but he depleted the Foreign Reserve and stil Plunge Us into Further Debt With NOTHING to show.

Records at the Debt Management Office now show that the latest domestic debt of the Federal Government as of March 31, 2015 had risen to N8,507,545,474,000 (N8.51tn).
This means that in the last five years, the Federal Government had borrowed N5.04tn from domestic lenders. It also means that within the period, the domestic debt of the Federal Government grew by 157.48 per cent, with virtually NOTHING to show for it.

So, when people are talking there is virtually no money left, you should ask or read to understand why, not being arrogant and puffy!

Goodluck!

Whynotthetruth:
Nah u dey hold the purse so

Not realy. Just ask yourself, how can a government who left $30 billion be borrowing money to pay workers? Is there sense in it? It is nothing but a black lie! GEJ left virtually nothing on the coffers.

Alphaoscar:
It is baffling that our Tanoid friend didn't know that their is a different account where moneys belonging to the federal government and another account belonging to all the governments of (federal, states and local governments).


When Buhari said he met an empty account he was referring to the account directly under his jurisdiction, account where money for the runnings of the FG programs are kept and drawn.


Surprisingly, both the Ex-minister and his Tanoids goons claimed there is up to $30b in excess crude account, sovereign wealth fund etc which are monies primarily saved for different purposes and the FG can not withdraw from those accounts without the consents of the other tiers of the government.


The minister and his boys should rather tell us how much GEJ left in the FG's account or they should just shut up.

i can tell you the truth...he left nothing!

I vote RAPLAWD

Cc: NLJega

Dygeasy:
CONTESTANT NO. 23


RAPLAWD





Raplawd hails from Obollo-Afor in Udenu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. He is 22 years old he is a business man, a member of The Nigerian Association Of Patent And Proprietary Medicine Dealers, based in Zaria, Kaduna State, Nigeria.


Who's his role model?

”Actually, Jesus Christ Is my mentor and role model,then my Hardworking Dad,together with my loving and caring Mum, but as a human, I must admit that there are some people that I consider as The Great Mind,(people Like Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojikwu,Innocent Ogbonna, Mike Adenuga, Aliko Dangote, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan,and the list continues), such people are my model,in business and political view.

But to be sincere, as an artist (a rapper )I see everybody as a role model cus that person might be a source of inspiration to me in the long run- be it a mad person, he or she really has something that make him/her a special someone, in a special way.

But I got to let you know that this are the home based artists that I always dream to be like...M.I Abaga, Sinzu, Mode9, and the international acts like Eminem, Rick Ross, 2Pac Shakur, Cannibus, T.I,Jay-Z, BirdMan, Static Major,BustaRhyme, Born Thug, our own Naija Boy Chamilonaire, and the king of King of Rap... B.I.G.

But all this people I listed (except Christ )doesn't represent any part of my life, all I do is to emulate their positive part and leave their negativity cus we all do, no one is perfect except God."

About his favorite food, he has this to say "Actually,I like eating a lot, as in, I eat anything eatable,harmless, nutritious and good for health...and Lol, for inspiration,(giggles, not weed ooo ).

but as original Igbo boy, I has a full list of our local dishes that I can spend large to have;Abacha (African Salad right ),Achicha,Okokoro, Ichipe, Otipiri,Moi Moi, Agidi, Utala Oka And Utala Ji, Ede with ofe nsala, akpu with egusi soup, infact, anything to be swallowed like fufu with ofe ogbono(draw soup )...and the list continues...

please don't ask me to explain some of the foods I mentioned up there cus I don't know there names in English, that's if they exist!"


On his hobbies, "Now you come, in other to make it short, I'm a music lover,and also an artist (rapper )...likes football (soccer ),loves watching movies (actions and horrors ),reads a lot, and also a fan of sweet comedies and humour!"

He was asked what makes him different?

"Hmmm, I can't really say, but when I look at things I does and likes doing,and as well enjoys doing it,I believes and know that I differs from the rest in different way, I don't like to try, I always want to accomplish and this are things that when I see or hear people say that they will try their best, I always ask myself why can't they do their best instead of trying? cus in trying, the chance of failure is always there unlike to succeed.

I am different cus I am me and nobody else, has been myself, still is and ever gonna be, not anybody else but my real me!"

Read how he thinks a close friend or relative would describe him.

"Should I give an address or a contact for you to confirm that I'm a good-bad-guy? and also a bad - good - guy... anyway, my people, or lemme say those that I've met,and have mingled with, maybe in the course of biz, study,work or whatever it might be will always tell you that I'm a guy who takes whatever he's doing serious, don't play With any opportunity, simple and just, but the truth is that I don't smile easily and you hardly see me laughing unless it calls for it, don't mess around, respect others as I would like em respond to me, a hardworking lad, gentle and God's looking... should I continue oh, should tell you this... I take God really serious!!!-don't call me a church goer!"


Why do you deserve to be crowned Mr Nairaland

"hehe... two many reasons better left untold, but
I think it should be left for Nairalanders to decide."


Vote Raplawd as the next Mr. Nairaland

Raplawd all the way!
