Are u a Doctor to tell when people are in good healt or sick?
How are you sure those who are putting them on trial are not the really sick ones?
It takes a sick President to disregard court orders; and it takes a much more sick fellow to support a lying government.

Only an uneducated person will still claim "Stealing is not corruption" translates to "Embracing corruption" or "creating new meaning for corruption".

Till today the APC have never established any info or proof to back up their claim that GEJ is the most corrupt politician in the nations history. All Buhari could do is threat threat n Moe threat without evidence.....Okiri kiri ka ana agba ukwu ose, Adiro ari ya ari.

Abachas looted funds have been repatriated several times , what is holding bubu from repatriating the GEJs stole?

It's an irony that GEJ remains the only president who ruled Nigeria n didn't gift himself with an oil well within his region.

GEJ asked for $2 billion for security and to fight Boko Haram and he took that money and gave it to DASUKI/ATM to share with his crooked and corrupt PDP cronies without any approval or impute by the Nigerian legislature and on top of that, the same legislature didn't see anything wrong with it so they looked the other way and asked no question.


PMB received approval by the Nigerian FEC to take $ 1billion for security and he took half of it to buy aircraft from the US, it was a government to government purchase, no middleman, no corruption or shady dealings. He also had to meet critical deadlines or the deal is off the table.

Now, the same incompetent and worthless Nigerian legislature that looked the other way when GEJ stole 4 times that amount without their approval or any kind of notification.

This is the same worthless and incompetent legislators are yet to approve the national budget which is creating uncertainties in the market and business world, delaying projects and government programmes all over the country and also affecting job creation.

Like I say all the time, the main enemies and the most unpatriotic people in Nigeria are the Nigerian lawmakers, they collect so much taxpayers money and we get almost nothing in return, they are nothing but parasites and the fact that PMB did not go through them is driving them crazy because they used to be part of the whole arms purchase looting schemes when they used to but obsolete, substandard and worthless military hardwares for our military like GEJ buying jets that can not drop bombs or even carry weapons and helicopters with wrong propellers that killed Nigerian pilots.



PMB did the right thing and I'm glad he made the transaction a government to government transaction and the US government openly confirmed payment and receipt and we are ultimately getting brand new 12 Tucanos with guns, bombs, missiles, avionics and so on.



I know PMB is a good man and he's trying his best to explain himself and calm the legislative clowns, but I don't really think they any acknowledgment.

LordOfNaira:
He might have known how to swim.

Swimming skills would hardly help if you hit the water surface awkwardly.

This fellow was taking a selfie. He didn't plan to fall down. So, when he lost his balance, it would be hard even for the greatest swimmer to reposition himself in the air for a safe dive or landing. He probably hit the surface of the water hard and passed out.

AlphaT1:
Survival techniques in the sea are completely different from just knowing how to swim.

Margy:
I wish he knew how to swim...


Swimming should be incorprated in our school curriculum

Pls GEJ is quite different from Buhari.

obaataaokpaewu:
He had been granted bail already by the Abuja court. Next week, the Lokoja court won't have any other option than to grant him bail too
Facing charges to these guys is nothing. Once he isn't locked up in jail or police custody, he's a "free" man

I will tell you why we don't just move on.

We need to settle the constitutional position so that there is no ambiguity in the future. If he can appropriate $500 million why not $10 billion ??


The president has acted unconstitutionally and that must be acknowledged . He spent money unlawfully and unless we are saying this should continue that must be established.

Even if he is not impeached then when he leaves office he can be jailed .He too can get a taste of what he is doing to Dasuki and Patience Jonathan

I would be happy if the National Assembly move on by Not touching the matter at all.

When he eaves office he will still face the music. Immunity lasts while you are in office and when you leave you can still be held accountable

The fact is there is no excuse fo not consultiing the National Assembly other than that he decided he was going to act regardless.
If there was a deadline so what? Why not consult them? No more phone? No more dinner? All those dinners he was organizing for them was for what?

Abu Ibrahim (Katsina-APC), accused senators of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of conspiring to impeach Mr Buhari.

Since they begin to operate this account, I have never seen any expenditure that was brought here for approval.
“N17.7 billion was drawn by (ex-President) Obasanjo to pay the Paris Club without National Assembly approval. Obasanjo left N9.3 billion in excess crude account but former President Goodluck Jonathan …the money with no recourse to the National Assembly.

The account was increased to over N20 billion in 2008 and decreased to less than N4 billion by Jonathan in 2010. It never came to National Assembly for approval.

“N2 billion was used by the previous PDP administration to fight Boko Haram in 2014. Governor Godswill Akpabio was the one who moved the motion at the National Economic Council to get the money. N5 billion was taken for power generation, funding was also sourced for Niger Delta, the same process was not taken by (ex-President Yar’ adua). It was later taken to the National Assembly and it was approved".

“I don’t think this exercise is worth it because we endorsed it to the U.S Congress. It was after we agreed in September that the U.S government now went back to give approval to the Executive to pay to their own government so they can go ahead and sell this equipment to Nigeria".- Saraki

So when you said 'stop being clever by half' in your last response to me, it was meant to be a compliment in your own eyes, not so?

Fyno:
I knew Dino was treacherous when he supported an uneducated Fulani herdsman for president but to arraign a senator of the federal republic on a stretcher does not portray us a democratic state.

I wonder where his promised CHANGE is...


The dullard keep referring to the past stupidity of the condemned 16 years of PDP to justify his angelic government.

What a set of morons.

And stop being silly by miles. People share posts for so many reasons. Either out of bad-belle, or envy, or hate or dislike or affection. Or simply because they want to poke fun at a thing. So what was Zahra Buhari's reaction in sharing the post? Did she express any emotion or reaction in response to the points made? Can you get your head out of the sand and be realistic for once?

They didn't follow instruction that is why they were Arrested, The order was to head down to non Hausa dominated Middlebelt states but they decided to go to Nasarawa dominated by Hausa, that is why they were captured

Fashola noted that since the completion of the privatisation of the sector, the size of the ministry has shrunk from the previous staff strength of the 50,000 to less than 1,000.


In other words, you have sacked 49,000 people from their jobs in just one ministry. It shall not be well with all of you that promised one thing and delivered (if you can call it that) something else.

Some people are better as opposition. Apc and its criminal followers like tunde bakare would have been in the street protesting against old government

HAH:
here in kaduna I wish I can be taken back to my estimated billing, they just installed some smart prepaid meters that are rigged to overcharge and burn quickly, imagine a two bedroom consuming about 20k worth of unit in a month, when we were on estimated bill consumption can not br above 10k sometimes even 5k

Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Chairman Prof. James Momoh yesterday vowed to review the prevailing electricity tariff.

Speaking with reporters after the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola inaugurated him in Abuja, he said the commission would look into the computation of the tariff.

He said: “The tariff is not a challenge you cannot solve. It happened, you learnt something about it last week. You don’t have to relearn the same lesson today.

“You should be able to ask question–what are we going to do tomorrow to avoid the problem?. There is what you call data science in the new thinking of the world, where we collect data, you learn from the information and you predict the future. So if we don’t do that, we are wasting our time. Because you know it is going to rain tomorrow so you get your umbrella. You don’t wait until it rains before you go by umbrella.”

Momoh added: “We have no choice; we have to look at what computes a tariff. Tariff is not a guesswork. There is a calculation you do to get there.”

He said he believed in team work for quick wins, adding that some of the quick wins should be what the commission could do in terms of estimated billings and how to ensure that it gets enough data to convince customers to pay for the power they use.

Momoh said: “If we remain the same, and we remain static, and we are not solving real problem, we will just be doing fire brigade promise. The GenCos will always tell you there is a blackout without knowing why.

“You are going to ask question why. I know why, because I know the Mathematics behind it, I know the Physics behind it. I know also the Economics behind it. If we are able to teach people to know why things go wrong, perhaps, we learn from our mistakes,” he said.

Momoh, who said the industry should anticipate problems, insisted that “we look back, we use lessons of yesterday to solve tomorrow’s problem.”

Earlier, Fashola said observers would admit that power supply has increased since 2015, submitting that “without a doubt, we have increased generation to 7000Mw, increasing the transmission to over 7,000Mw, and increasing the distribution from 2,690 to average of 4,900 or 5,000.”

He said the electricity market has a capacity of 2,000Mw that has been stranded, which the ministry is working to distribute before this year end.

According to him, the NESI has a new stock of 459Mw underway from Azura that has notified him on the completion of its plant and its readiness to commence operation.

Momoh said the sector is expecting another 240Mw from Afam and another 215Mw from Kaduna. Besides, he noted that the market is also expecting power from Kashimbilla, “but the distribution end is where our challenge lies.”

Fashola said the mini-grid regulation has started yielding results, and the ministry is already seeing the impacts in the market.

He said this year, markets such as Suru in Lagos, Sabon Gari in Kano, Ariria in Aba, and some other markets are going to be energised.

Fashola noted that since the completion of the privatisation of the sector, the size of the ministry has shrunk from the previous staff strength of the 50,000 to less than 1,000.

She shared a post. And so? What does the 'sharing' mean, in concrete terms exactly? Think man, think! Stop hyping imaginary stuff. I repeat: You bloggers will not enter heaven. You better go and look for real life news or real time events to share, instead of being lazy. smh.
