Of course, everything that's not in your village is propaganda.....
Oil wells in Lagos and derivation is propaganda
Dagote refinery is propaganda and all the billions spent is propaganda just to fool ipobs..
Look at this village joker covering his pain and sorrow with trolling...I see through your pain and sorrow...
AtlanticBreeze: propaganda, propaganda, propaganda, propaganda.. fake news, fake news, fake news.. Which budget? 2016 or 2017 budget? LMAOOOO
It's of course always propaganda while the rest of the country develop and move ahead of your backward villages.
Is there not a reason why your villages remain unproductive, economically depressed and your unproductive men and women have to run away to the productive SW for their daily bread?
All you jokers have is internet mouth, but under your internet mouth is nothing but shallow, empty and painful misery and future hence starting silly topics on NL to let us know how how pained and depressed you are..
You losers are fooling nobody. I see through your pain and suffering...
A quick look at the budget and what's going to each region should answer your backward and pointless question and on top of that how Lagos state obtained certification and approval for 4 oil wells and automatic 13% derivation in less than 60 days and also why Dagote refinery and sub sea pipeline in Lagos gets top FG prority and forex for speedy completion should educate you adequately.
Reasoningontop: Babatunde Raji Fashola , Nigeria’s Minister for Power, Works and Housing on Tuesday while unveiling his plans praised the achievements of former President Goodluck Jonathan. Fashola during his first news conference tagged “Setting the Agenda for Delivering Change” said that Goodluck Jonathan has constructed more roads than any president ever in Nigeria. He also acknowledged that the Transformation in the power sector is above 50 % and that he would try to build on it. Minister of State for Works, Adebayo Adeyeye, also said that Jonathan’s administration has recorded more success in the provision of motorable roads than any other administration in the history of Nigeria. Adeyeye, who spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Monday, insisted that the Jonathan administration has made considerable progress in the road sector, more than any of the governments that have administered the country. According to him, the administration in 2011 had about 4,500 kilometres of fairly motorable roads, just as he explained that today the administration has about 25,000 kilometres of very good roads. http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/jonathan-constructed-more-roads-than-any-other-nigerian-president-fashola/
[/s]
He made the comments on Tuesday, February 10, during the All Progressives Congress campaign rally in the Oshodi-Isolo Local Government Area.
Fashola says Jonathan has failed Nigerians, and as such, does not deserve a second term in office as president of Nigeria
According to the governor, the President was making things worse, by claiming to have constructed 25,000km roads within Nigeria, when “the distance from Lagos to London is just over 5,000km”.
He said, “President Goodluck Jonathan said he constructed 25,000 kilometres roads in the country. Now, the distance from Lagos to London is just over 5,000km. What the claim by the President means is that they have constructed a road from Lagos to London five times. But the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that is 404km and has not been done. So where did they see the 25,000km roads?
“On electricity, we pay 75 per cent more than we should pay for power through self generation of electricity. Contrary to their claim, the President and the PDP can’t give electricity.
Sadly, many many thousands of these corrupt people used the same system to loot us dry.
Just imagine the wife of our former president openly perpetrating money laundering and even claiming money in bank accounts that's not in her name which practically and legally means the money doesn't belong to her so why did she even openly expose and inserted herself into money laundering and criminal activities..
And you wonder why we are in a recession with such mindless looting and stealing by the former president and his wife.

Springup: YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE EXCUSE. Nigerians voted him because of his promises during the campaign period, Buhari should rather find solution on how to tackle the economy, Buhari should create synergy with the rest 21 APC state on the best and quickest alternative to end this hunger in the land. Tell Buhari to meet with his follow APC states to kick start operation "own a rice farm". If every state can emulate Anambra then in less than 4 months Nigerians won't import rice again there by conserving scarce forex
And was our earnings the same like back then?
The useless woman gave the warning when oil was selling for $80 but oil us selling for $30 now so shouldn't common sense tell you that when your economy is doing bad at$80 p/b, it's even going to be catastrophic at $30/no.
It's like you think you should be drinking champagne when you have 3 Kobo when you couldn't even afford it when you had 10 Kobo.
The woman told us to get ready to suffer in 2013/2014/2015 because ahe knew our reserve was gone meaning if the price of oil keeps dropping and dropped to where it is today, their won't be any reserve left to fend of recession, it's simple economics.
When oil was selling for $100, she failed to diversify the economy and laid bsolutely no economic foundation to build on so what can the new administration do with oil as our main income earner selling for peanuts and some useless terrorists blowing up oil instalations and depleted foreign reserves?
The previous economy was based in corruption, looting and stealing and patronage. Even the banks had no real capital, the funds they lived large on was corruption and stolen funds that they no longer have.
That corruotion economy and culture must go and be replaced with real economy based on real productivity for us to survive.
We are talking about past governmenta that spent 90% of out yearly budgets on 1% of 170 with 10% left for the rest of the country. Jo money for capital projects which creates jobs and even the little they budget for roads is looted hence the whole country littered with thousands of abandoned projects.
You people can do better by telling us the brand or kind of magic wand or abracadabra this government can perform to increase our earnings by making oil sell for $100 like under jona or how they can do in less than 2 years with $30 oil price what previous governments could not do since independence.
You people should start from their, let us hear your wonderful advice and economic master plan instead of the pointless and meaningless noise.
OBAGADAFFI: Did you even watch the video you posted?
It seem comprehension is big problem for your likes.
The useless woman openly stated how she failed us and how her, her boss Jona and his administration failed and didn't have the guts to do the right thing to prevent our problems today and this joker is sitting here asking me when the video was posted.
Exactly what's the time the video was posted got to do with her confession.?
The time the video was posted means she did not confess openly how they failed us.
You really need to STFU if you have nothing better, sane and rational to talk about..
OBAGADAFFI: Where were your likes,when same woman work under OBJ, secured debt forgiveness and increase the foreign reserve .
For information, the discussion on government spendings starts and ends with Politician(President, Governors, and legislators).
Minster/commissioner of Finance don't award and implement contracts outside their ministry.
Minster/commissioner of Finance don't dictate which project to implement to Politicians(President, Governors, and legislators) should approve or jettison.
Minster/commissioner of Finance don't prepare budgets for other MDA's .
Her accountability is keeping is proper documentation and records of all government spendings. And that she has done.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is an agbado inu igo
[/s]
We know OBJ sacked her unceremoniously and she failed miserably under 2 different administrations.
And in the above video, the useless woman openly confessed to the world how miserably she failed us so keep quiet, she admitted she failed so I don't need any silly, meaningless and pointless rubbish from you and your kind..
Izontubo: that case has been reviewed and the said mr dauda to spend just 2 years..who knows the dauda might even be in his house sipping champagne whilst you dey here dey mumu yourself... ...buhari fighting corruption indeed...them don deceive you tire with online trials and wayo jail terms...

N1.4bn Fraud: Court sentences ex-Kogi lawmaker to 154-year jail
April 25, 2016
With the above date, under who exactly was that? Under crooked and corrupt Jona and PDP?
This is why I don't bother going back and forth with internet trolls and ipobs..
djon78: I have read a lot of comments before making mine.
Jonathan did a lot of wrong things, but the reason why Nigerians economy was better off was not really about the oil earnings, it was simply because of the high number of technocrats he had in his administration; Okonjo Iweala, Akinwunmi Adesina, Olusegun Aganga etc.
This present administrations biggest problem is dearth or small number or even no technocrats in her supply. IN addition, majority of Jonathan's technocrats where coming from outside the country, with lots of experiences from having worked in foreign institutions, so they had a full grasp of the entire situation.
Why I mentioned technocrats with foreign experience is because these are the people Nigeria needs presently to turn around her fortunes. Nigeria as a nation is so disconnected from the global economy and markets,Nigeria has so much opportunity still going for her, if Nigeria gets her act right, she can spring up to become a big major economy in the world within a space of a decade or 2. But for Nigeria to transform a lot of bureaucracy, fat cats, redundancy must give way. We must get the best of the best to run our systems, not mediocre, ignorant and half baked individuals. We are in an era in the world where knowledge reins supreme, therefore we as a nation have no reason dealing with super ignorant folks running our system. Time is ticking, we must get it right, because if we fail as a nation, a time will come when other parts of the world may not even tolerate us anymore. There is so much going for this nation, a word is enough for the wise.
We as a nation must seek for the best form of knowledge out there, we must completely overhaul our education and economic system, I will say it again, we need to get the best of the best, because those we have now have never really handled massive, complex task before and then they think they can handle the precarious situation the nation is in now. I rest my case.
Nigerian govt borrowing billions to pay salaries – Okonjo-Iweala
In the face of dwindling oil revenues, Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the Federal Government has borrowed about N473billion to pay salaries and fund the 2015 budget.
Technocrat who as the finance minister and economic coordinator who couldn't manage and diversify our economy when oil was selling for $100, but instead borrowing hundreds of billions every year to pay salaries?
Obviously the most useless, worthless and incompetent Technocrat known to man..
Brace for tougher times ahead, Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians
Nigerians should brace for tougher economic times ahead, the Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has said as crude oil prices slipped to a four year low on Wednesday. New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) December WTI oil futures sold at $75.20 per barrel on Wednesday, down $1.98, from $74.96 per barrel the previous day, the lowest level for a most-active contract since September 2010. Though the price of sweet crude, the blend of oil export from Nigeria, rose marginally at the close of trading on Wednesday to $76.96 per barrel, it has already crashed below the $79 per barrel benchmark approved in the 2014 Appropriation Act, concerns are mounting that tough times are indeed ahead. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/171145-brace-tougher-times-ahead-okonjo-iweala-tells-nigerians.html
A technocrat who in 2014 told us to get ready for recession , pain and austerity when oil was selling for $80, so please tell us what the technocrat going to do or advise with oil selling for $30-40? Sell Nigeria of course..
Obviously the most useless, worthless and incompetent Technocrat known to man..
N1.4bn Fraud: Court sentences ex-Kogi lawmaker to 154-year jail
April 25, 2016Press Release
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday secured the conviction of a former member of the Kogi State House of Assembly and former Caretaker Chairman, Ogori/Magongo Local Government Area of the state, Gabriel Daudu, for a N1.4 billion fraud. Mr. Daudu, who was first arraigned in April 2010, was prosecuted by the EFCC on a 208-count charge bordering on money laundering and misappropriation of public funds. Justice Inyang Ekwo, who tried the case at the Federal High Court in Lokoja, Kogi State, found him guilty of 77 counts and sentenced him to 154-year imprisonment. In his ruling, the trial judge held that the prosecution proved its case beyond every reasonable doubt, and therefore sentenced Mr. Daudu to two years on each of the 77 counts to run concurrently.
Yes, people don't go to jail for looting in Nigeria, just ask the above looter who is going to spend the rest of his life in jail...
He was charged in 2010 under Jona and PDP's EFCC and did not spend a day inside jail, but now that stealing is corruption under PMB, he's going to spend the rest of his life inside prison..
Her primary mission is accountability and even to start with, she had no business approving or taking part in any fund release not mandated by the Nigerian legislature, the whole exercise was illegal.
I guess we lost billions because of illegal waivers because her ministry was not responsible and accountable for granting them to cronies
I guess we lost billions of dollars under NNPC because she was not responsible and accountable for keeping track of our earnings and making sure every kobo was deposited
I guess she was not responsible and accountable when we lost hundreds of billions for years when she paid ghost workers under her nose
I guess she was not responsible and accountable when she looked the other way while income generating agencies and MDAs pocketed every kobo instead of depositing it into the federal account in her care
I guess she was not responsible or accountable for diversifying our economy when oil was selling for $100
I guess she was not responsible and accountable when she was borrowing hundreds of billions of dollars when oil was selling for $80 and setting us up for financial meltdown..
I guess she was not responsible when in 2014 she told us to get ready for suffering and austerity when oil was selling for $80
In fact she was not responsible or accountable for anything, we just hired and paid her top dollars for making sure every looter easily loot us dry while she looked the other way and even facilitated the looting...
Sometimes I just wonder about you and your kind...
This is how that crooked and deceptive woman played hide and seek to protect herself from prosecution and exactly what this man is talking about..
She new the approval was shady, illegal and corrupt so she smartly abdicated her responsibility and inserted in the letter oversight functions for the money she gave to Dasuki to Dasuki himself and Jona who didn't seek accountability for anything for the 5 years of wholesale looting and stealing he presided over..
It's like giving the armed robber oversight functions for arm robbery...
That woman really fcukkked us up big time and this is the kind of evil and corrupt practices you get away with only in Nigeria...
To start with, your crooked jona and PDP was in power for 16 years and Tinubu lost immunity 9 years ago so where was this trash when Jona put Tinubu on trial for corruption?
Why una hide this expose from jona because if you internet detective don pass this expose to jona, Tinubu for dey inside jail now..
Btw, next time when rummaging the internet for pictures to steal for your useless and worthless stories, try not to steal pictures from the internet.
That was Shogunro housing estate Fashola commissioned for Lagos Homs housing scheme..
I still find it funny that most people don't know why Nigeria economy went into recession, they love the incompetent lies of Lai Mohammed about the past government ruining everything. It's also myopic to think that if Jonathan were to still be in power, we would be worse off.
The truth about Nigeria's recession is this; it was caused by the president's unguided rhetoric and uncultured body language. Firstly, there is nothing we are buying today that we weren't buying 5 years ago, therefore it's not our purchase that put pressure on Naira but withdrawal of funds by foreign investors. After the election, the president created instability with his unguided statements about how everyone is corrupt and how everyone is going to jail.
The instability made foreign investors to liquidate their investment and change their money to dollars. In the process of trying to flee, they were willing to buy dollars at any price, which lead to high exchange dollar rate. Even though some of them were not ready to run away, but want their money in dollars to save their investments from devaluation, the president gave a bad signal by banning deposit of foreign currency into dormiciliary accounts.
That was enough for free market believers to see the draconian handwriting on the wall, that was the beginning of dollar rush. To make matters worse, the president came up with another outrageous policy of rationing dollar to certain sectors and blocking many sectors out. That was the nail in the coffin which facilitated the emergence of free FALL. In the end, foreign investors took over $80B out of the economy within a short period and everything went down to free fall. To those who believe it will be worse if Jonathan is still there, you are all wrong. Policy continuity and political stability will not let billions of dollars leave our shores within such tiny time frame. Even though the government might have income shortage, the private sector will weather the storm by their confidence in the market.
The fear of the unknown created by PMB is responsible for the economic downturn not low oil price. Interest rate in America is currently at 0.5% while it is 12% in Nigeria. JP Morgan & Chase will not mind borrowing $50b from Feds at 0.5 and put in Nigeria for return of %2000 profit. Citi bank will do the same, likewise US Bank Corp. Chase gave Buhari warning about the repercussions of his fixing policy before they pulled out, but his illiterate cyber warriors and misseducated e-soldiers said JPMORGAN can go to hell, they no longer believe in economic metrics since their messiah is in charge. Funny enough they are all suffering today because of the stupid policy, but they find relief by blaming it on past administration and Gucci appetite of average Nigerians.
For your information, if your president "kontunu" with his unguided rhetoric, Naira will go down to N1000/1 $. But we thank God, he is no longer talking.

APOLOGY
On September 12, 2016 edition of Vanguard , we published a story purportedly from the whatsApp message of former Education Minister, Oby Ezekwesili, blaming President Muhammadu Buhari for Nigeria’s economic woes. We have since discovered that Dr. Ezekwesili did not make the comment . WE hereby retract the comment and sincerely apologise to Dr. Oby Ezekwesili. It was not our intention to denigrate her or pit her against the government. -Editor
Patience, who described herself as a law-abiding citizen, said despite all the explanations she offered to the Lagos Zonal Office of the EFCC, the detectives in charge refused to heed her request. She, therefore, urged Magu to intervene immediately.
She added, “Despite the foregoing, our client, who is a law-abiding citizen, has watched with surprise how efforts are being made surreptitiously to indirectly harass or harangue her and short-change her of her personal funds in breach of her fundamental human rights. We urge you sir, to kindly intervene to stop the untoward and wrongful actions of your officials to embarrass, inconvenience and short-change our client.
Law abiding citizen opening bank accounts in other people's names aka money laundering which is a criminal offense.
Criminal claiming law abiding... wonders shall never end..
However, a detective in the EFCC said "We got a relevant court order to freeze those accounts and we have evidence which we will present in court on Friday.
“We did not know that the accounts belonged to Patience Jonathan at the time we froze them. The accounts do not bear her name neither do they carry her BVN (Bank Verification Number). So, how can she accuse us of harassment?
In the eyes of the law, that money doesn't belong to her. I mean, how do you lay claim to what's not in your name and not even the BVN?
Many looters used the same scheme to loot our money and got away with it, but this dumbass woman foolishly set herself up and lost...
BTW, what kain sickness you need $15 to treat? smh
