Bootlicker kawai! No amount of laundering will change the fact that kemi is overwhelmed!

How can billions recovered be overwhelming? When billions missing was d benchmark?

Competent & Courageous Minister Has This to
Say:

Dayo Orolu WROTE:
I was at a CFO Forum earlier today where the
Minsiter of Finance, Ms Kemi Adeosun made a
presentation.
My key take-away:

1. The FG payroll bill in January 2016 was
5billion naira less than that of December 2015.
Reason: many fraudulent ghost accounts had
been delisted. Plan is to achieve 10bilion
monthly savings.

2. 400 accounts opened in a Bank sameday and
put on the payroll are now inactive due to BVN.
(Some Bank Managers will be transfered to
Kuje in no time).

3. Govt plans to reduce domestic borrowing to
fund budget deficit as to 'force' banks to lend to
the productive sector. 50% of 2016 budget
borrowing will be from external sources.

4. Govt spending on Stationery and office
consumables in 2015 was 18.5billion while total
spend on capital expenditure was
18.9billion. (See why we keep getting poorer).
Govt is re-negotiating all contracts of supply for
more efficie

5. 30% Capex budget in 2016 is to stimulate
the economy.

6. The Minister said her outfit to the forum
cost her just two thousand naira. (Message:
Ladies, please drop Gucci suits for local
materials). She also queried why schol pupils
are forced to wear socks daily which we don't
produce locally.

7. On looted funds, one (just one!!!) former
public official is negotiating with FG to return
$1billion (equivalent of 199billion naira at CBN
rate) of stolen fund. This is just one of many.

8. She wants to be the first Finance Minister
that wouldn't want to know or care to know the
price of crude oil. Implying - they plan to build
a self-sustaining economy.

l like that side of the banks,they must be made to pay heavily for it. the way i hate corruption ehn,corrupt nigerians should thank God somebody like me is not near a position 2 to fight the appostles of corruption. that is why i'll remain an astute supporter of pmb,irrespective of his weaknesses.at least we ve'nt had any leader in this country that detaste corruption like him. how wish he is younger & in military nown.that's my mere wish though.

If wishes were horses, ...

Personally, I believe he can still do better:
1. Replace d CJ.
2. Replace d CBN leadership.
3. Retire all civil service directors(d budget scandal is being treated with kid gloves!)

APCLyingBastard:
It is my thread assh0le

A "christian" talking? What's it with all d insults?

CyberWolf:
How can you hand over ghost workers to EFCC? .. Something that doesn't exist? .. This woman is a clown I swear..

Seems d Yoruba man will still av to break it into ABC, so u can easily understand.

Money was being paid into dat ghost acct, and d money was being withdrawn. The bank registered a ghost! So, its either d bank provides d ghost's address or refunds d money! Shikena!

My 2kobo: if u'r not ready for marriage, retrace ur steps. U'r goin in deeeeeeeeep!

The faster these companies go down in d US, d earlier oil prices are gonna go up!

Travesty of life: if one person own no spoil, another person own no go beta!

Until we understand "death" then do we understand immortality. When a man's body(flesh) dies, wat happens to his life force/soul? Trying to cover all bets is why religions are being perpetuated.

thiagocrush:
Ive noticed in nigeria's Christian community, the easterners (old eastern region) practice christainity in truth and in spirit unlike the yorubas, most times I fear eating anything frm my yoruba friends house or going to white garments on visit because I don't want any spiritual issues.

I just wanna know why in this 21st century some nigerians still practice voodoo knowing fully well that nothing good comes from the devil.

Are u serious? D easterners practice christianity in truth? I realised u'r IPOB looking for trouble once I read dat. With all d ritual killings in Okija or d recent news of pastors burying tins on crusade grounds or using humans as building foundation in Enugu? Juju is all over Africa! Dnt discriminate abeg!

Seriously, u took time out to write all ds? Then, read on d spanish inquisition and let me c wat u'll write!

Artur Fischer, a German inventor who registered more than 1,100 patents, including the first synchronized camera flash and an anchor that millions of do-it-yourselfers use to secure screws into walls, died on Jan. 27 at his home in Waldachtal, in southwestern Germany. He was 96. His death was announced by his company, the Fischer Group. Mr. Fischer, a locksmith by training and an obsessive tinkerer, came up with his first patented invention in 1947, when he wanted to take pictures of his newborn daughter. “At the time, you could only use a powder flash for interior shots, which you had to ignite with a cord,” he told the magazine Der Spiegel in 2015. “It was dangerous, and the picture quality was poor because the subject usually blinked at the flash.” He came up with a synchronized mechanism that triggered the flash when the shutter was released. The device was bought by Agfa, a large camera company, and Mr. Fischer was on his way, coming up with hundreds of solutions to nagging technical problems over the next seven decades. In 1958, he addressed a problem faced by construction workers and home-repair amateurs alike: how to insert a screw securely into plaster or drywall. He devised a nylon plug with a split tip to be inserted into a drilled hole. As the screw turned, the plug prevented it from dislodging the plaster. As the screw advanced toward the tip, the anchor expanded, pressing tightly against the hole. Two anti-rotation fins on the plug wedged into the plaster, keeping the anchor securely in place. This was the proverbial better mousetrap, a major improvement from the hemp- filled metal anchors then in use. Today, about 14 million of Mr. Fischer’s plugs are produced every day around the world. “What Bill Gates was to the personal computer, Artur Fischer is to do-it-yourself home repair,” Der Spiegel wrote in its interview. Mr. Fischer’s other inventions included Fischertechnik model- making kits, cup holders with retractable lids, ventilation nozzles and edible play- modeling material made from potato starch. “I am interested in any problem to which I can provide a solution,” Mr. Fischer told the German magazine Technology Review in 2007. His total number of inventions put him just ahead of Thomas Edison, who had 1,093 patents to his name. In recognition of Mr. Fischer’s work, the European Patent Office gave him a lifetime achievement award in 2014. Artur Fischer was born on Dec. 31, 1919, in Tumlingen, now part of Waldachtal. He was the son of a tailor. His mother, who ironed collars to make ends meet, recognized her son’s mechanical aptitude and encouraged him at every turn, helping him set up a workbench at home and buying him the German equivalent of an Erector Set. Artur attended a vocational school but left at age 13 to serve an apprenticeship with a locksmith in Stuttgart, Germany. He joined the Hitler Youth and enlisted in the military with the hope of becoming a pilot, but he was nearsighted, short and lacked a high school diploma. He was trained as a mechanic for the Luftwaffe and was assigned to a base in the Palatinate region, where Adolf Hitler paid a surprise Christmas visit in 1939. “I had made a model airplane to give my mother as a Christmas present,” Mr. Fischer told Der Spiegel. “Then my commanding officer said that I was the best mechanic and I should give the plane to Hitler. It was a horrible time.” Mr. Fischer survived the Battle of Stalingrad, leaving on the last plane, and later in the war was captured in Italy and sent to a prisoner-of-war camp in England. After returning to his hometown in 1946, he found work as an assistant at an engineering company and began making lighters and loom switches out of military scrap. In 1948, he founded his own company, the Fischer Group, which today has 42 international subsidiaries, employs 4,000 people worldwide and sells its 14,000 products in more than 100 countries. In Germany, Mr. Fischer is famous for his Fischertechnik kits — sets of nylon blocks with electric motors and photosensitive cells that schoolchildren and hobbyists have used to make machines and robots, and engineers have used to model prototypes. The first kits were given to clients in 1964 as Christmas gifts, but they were so popular that they were sold to consumers the next year. Many of Mr. Fischer’s humble inventions led to spinoffs. He applied the principle of his wall plug, for example, to create a series of surgical plugs to hold broken bones together. Mr. Fischer’s wife, the former Rita Gonser, died in 2013. He is survived by a son, Klaus, and a daughter, Margot Fischer- Weber. One of Mr. Fischer’s most recent inventions is a gadget that makes it possible to hold and cut the top off an egg of any size. He got started on the problem when a hotel owner complained to him that his guests, on opening their boiled eggs for breakfast, always made a mess — the year was 1946.

My own opinion is: it has to do with mentality. Even b4 I got scientific proof, av always been of d mind dat, Africans migrated to colonise Europe, though I didn't factor in d Neanderthals.

My thoughts have been on enlightenment. I believe d brave, outcasts, outside-d-box thinkers made it out of Africa.

D typical African, b4 d coming of Europeans had too many taboos- sacred forests, ogbanjes(abiku), witchcraft, twin births etc, such dat we didn't/dont ask enough questions of happenings around us. Religion sells out in Africa, as d masses practice faith to a fault. Until d Whiteman researched otherwise, d typical African would burn, cut n mutilate d body of d ogbanje, even outcasting d mother. They didn't even try to find a worldly explanation.

That I believe is what limits us, compared to other races. Till date, our politicians visits spiritualists; religion is such dat, decisions are arrived at, at d say so of dieties or their messengers. Most Africans aren't curious enough to search/delve for a worldly/logical reason.

D ones dat did/do, end up living on d outskirts of society, labelled heretics. I believe it was ancestors like dat who left to colonise Europe.

My uninformed opinion.

Nbote:
Some us jus wait for any opportunity at the mention of GEJ to open our mouths and spew rubbish. We seem so blinded to even reason logically and analyse issues. Ur claim dat GEJ was clueless to have convened d confab is laughable. Well meaning nigerians and other statesmen have been calling for a sovereign national conference over the years to thrash out some of the burning issues plaguing the country especially as it affects the different zones. D national Assembly didn't want any of it and even attached conditions as to issues dat were open discourse and which ones were off limit. D essence of the confab as it was was to make resolutions on some of the burning issues as discussed. Any serious minded legislature would study d report if/when presented to them and decide what to make of it. D senator has simply given his own opinion which isn't necessarily right. It is left for the president to either forward it to d National Assembly nd dey deliberate on it accordingly.

No matter how good ur intentions, wen it doesn't av d backing of d law, then it is useless! I still can't get over d supreme court judgement on Rivers election, yet d reasons dey gave in d public space makes a lot of sense!

What so hard abt getting legal backing? If u can't get legal backing then shelf it, not go ahead and den try pushing it down throats! How was he able to finance it without appropriation?

luvinhubby:
Most, if not all terrorists are moslems, then permit me to call moslems terrorists.

Guess common sense is not common anyway.

#IamNigerianNotaCriminal

That is exactly wat is happening in Europe n d US, evry muslim/moslem is being labelled a terrorist n treated wit suspicion. D kind of suspicion Nigerians xperience. I am not a criminal, but do u knw how long it took to access paypal frm Nigeria? Do u knw how embarrassing it is to fill a form online n wen I get to country, Nigeria is not an available option, yet Eygpt, Morroco an other African countries are available?

Well in case you don't know, Falana ain't no Human right activist, 'coz he can't hold a candle to our dear Gani when it comes to Human right stuffs.
He's just a social media activist.
What prominent case has he handled in the history of Nigerian litigation?
Just making a noise everywhere.
Pathetic!

Do a little research b4 condemning. Gani might be d bench mark, but Falana was a trailblazer in his right. Read dswww.mynewswatchtimesng.com/femi-falana-getting-romantic-old-age-wife-funmi/)

I took u up because I recently read on NL he took on d FG during his NYSC year and won d case.

Exporters of cashew have blamed shipping companies for the increasing incidence of rejected cashew abroad while the shipping companies have in turn said the exporters are not entirely blameless. The issue was raised at a stakeholders’ forum where members of the National Cashew Association of Nigeria met with operators of leading shipping companies in Nigeria to address issues of delays and rejected cashew exports. Speaking during the forum, the President, NCAN, Mr. Tola Faseru, urged the shipping companies to reduce the transit time for shipping cashew from Nigeria, adding that the time should be set at a maximum of 30 days. He accused shipping companies of sometimes keeping the product inside containers for as long as 120 days, noting that such length of time could damage cashew given its fragile nature. Faseru said, “Most of the shipping companies don’t even understand. They just treat cashew as one of those commodities. It is a sensitive commodity that should not stay in a container for too long. “Shipping companies should help us improve the transit time so that instead of the commodity taking several months to get to its destination, the transit time will be shortened. We want that transit time to be reduced to 30 days.” He added, “The moment the container stays beyond 30 days, we will send a lawyer and the shipping company involved will pay 100 per cent cost. “You know how it is when a commodity gets back here in a bad state. There are claims that come back to the exporters. This past year there were huge claims that were given to the customers. When the product is damaged, the exporter suffers huge losses.” In their defence, some of the shipping companies represented at the forum blamed the situation on exporters and terminal operators, falsified and inaccurate information from exporters and delays caused by Lagos traffic when products were being moved to the ports. The General Manager, Pacific International Lines, Mr. Verhaert Mathias, called for a look at the entire supply chain instead of putting the blame on the shipping companies. According to him, 2015 was a difficult year for shipping companies because of the slide in oil price. He said, “Ships were not full anymore and some even pulled out and stopped doing business because if they did not pull out, they would sail empty and incur losses.” He urged exporters to pay attention to packaging details, adding that they should also be transparent about the real volume of the product they were sending out. The General Manager of Hull Blyth shipping agency, Paul Brethel, remarked that weather differences in countries other than Nigeria affected the quality of cashew when the product was taken to those countries. He said, “When you move a steel box from a warm climate to a cold one, condensation sets in. When there is warm season in Nigeria, there is winter in South Africa and Nigeria’s product has certain vices, so exporters cannot turn around and say it is the fault of shipping companies.” Also speaking, the South Main Export Manager for Maersk Line, Maureen Okojie, said the decision on what went out was based on imports, adding that because imports nosedived in 2015, it had ripple effects on exports. She emphasised transparency on the part of the exporters, stressing that shipping lines needed to know if they kept dedicated products and the length of time it would be delivered. Okojie added, “The issue of transparency should cut across and NCAN should tackle fumigation because some government agencies go about with fictitious documents passing the bills to the shipping companies, claiming to have fumigated products that have already been fumigated by exporters.” Some of the shipping agencies blamed terminal operators who had programmed for imports instead of exports.

Same way teens/kids now involve themselves in sex, relationships, cultism, smoking etc, is d same way these unfortunate teens are lead into becoming terrorists! If not for d mortal fear of my Dad, I could have turned out much worse!


As unfortunate as it may be, my opinion remains:

Death to Terrorists!

TippyTop:
They jacked it up because they knew they were dealing with an illiterate president, a man who failed woefully in Maths, a man with NEPA bill as certificate.
In future, presidential candidates should be disqualified if they fail to show up for debates, Buhari's incompetence would have been laid bare if he had debated.

We're now saddled for the next 4yrs with this man who wouldn't pass an interview for a job as taxi driver in the US.

U're quite right! Dat illiterate PMB! Now can u kindly explain how dey did d same n much worse to dat doctor 'ineffectual buffoon' GEJ??! How can d able Dr Buffoon himself be so blindsided not to realise funds released for arms was being diverted to private n party pockets?

Hope u won't resort to insults?

Exactly wat they are good@....marrying innocent virgins

Incase u are not aware, she is 36yr old! If pple like u will marry on time, why would she want to marry an old cargo?

Una no gree marry dem, una still dey complain wen person marry dem?!

abduljabbar4:
Shut up there! If Buhari really wants to jail her he would do so whether by hook or crook. Or is he not a tyrant again? Wailers are extremely confused.

@topic now whether we like it or not there is nothing we can do since there is no evidence. This is what the wailers can't just emulate. They will say amaechi and tinubu are corrupt but non of them has ever provided any evidence against them. Foolish people

Bro, may God continue to bless ur reasoning!

He came out to confess dat he couldn't get evidence, dem still dey vex, yet dem wan make he jail Tinubu n Amaechi wit no evidence?!

They conveniently forget dat those involved in d arms saga are actually confessing and restituting, dat it is d strongheaded ones dat are being prosecuted! Evryone is pretending as if dey neva heard Obiagbena(Arise tv) returned 350m n was released without any court threat
