Soludo is play politics

He wants to contest for governorship seat

He knows by criticizing pmb is what will get him the vote


He knows when he said this they will sing his name to high praises

Why not dispute what he said? Did he lie?

xstry:
GEJ is a thief alright

Indeed, describe Babachir, Kyari, Saraki, Dogara, Buhari, Ameachi, and Fashola.

9jakohai:
Essentially, deregulation means that fuel marketers can set their prices which would lead to an initial hike to as high as 400 per liter, then as competition s3ts in, prices could drop to. As low as 100 per liter.

Good example: GSM which has been deregulated from day one. Initial high prices (5000 for sim) then crashed to 400 as competition set in

You're wrong , same thing was said in 2016. Has prices dropped?
How will competition lower prices when cost of acquisition is high?

madridguy:
The Presidency need to throw-away their face and let the opposition continuing making irrelevant noises. At first they credited the past administration with any positive result of the present administration and now trying hard with Professor Osibanjo just to score cheap political relevance.

Let them say.

Get well soon President Buhari

Fire on Professor Osibanjo

This is absolute asinine. Who pronounced Buhari sick? Why wish a man on holiday 'get well soon'?

babyfaceafrica:
Nice one from the school

Nice one? I am a graduate of the school and I still have contacts there whose parents genuinely couldn't pay because of the present economic condition, what's nice about that?

Firstcitizen:
No he is not and even if Buhari does not return, many of you disciples of corruption will weep more as Osinbajo will shock you all.

What makes you think I assent corruption? Is this how you conclude?

PassingShot:
Heartbreaking to wailing zombies!

[b][/b]

I keep saying we could have been worse if we had continued with the IB's regime. That is better forgotten and erased from our history.


No matter how you judge it, PMB/VPYO have defeated Boko Haram. The group has been reduced to rats they are.

No matter how you judge it, PMB/VPYO have reduced massive looting/corruption.

No matter how you judge it, our judiciary has witnessed some reform courtesy of PMB/VPYO determination and doggedness.

Our dollar reserves is increasing even in the time of leanest earnings. The looters that earned massively left it far worse.

PMB/VPYO have shown capacity to bring trouble makers such as Dilector Kanu, to their knees.

Diversification towards local production of our food consumption is taking place.

Federal roads are being constructed.

Fuel subsidy scam has been stopped.



What this government has done in less than two years, despite experiencing leanest of income, has surpassed what the drunks achieved in their almost six years.

I beg to disagree with you on the Bokoharam issue. People killing military officers are RATS?

Firstcitizen:
Idiagbon was the face of Buhari's military government. The failings of that government was blamed on Buhari.

If Osinbajo fails as a temporary face of this government Buhari picks up the blame. Now things are improving a bit, many mischief makers who do not wish Nigeria well are praising only Osinbajo.

Shows that Buhari is hated for his anti corruption stance and a large chunk of Nigerians cannot wait for corruption to return. Thieves!

Is that to say that Osinbajo is promoting corruption? Are you saying that's why people are praising him?

shamecurls:
You re dumb! Do you think education is by littering the whole of Nigeria selling foodstuff, spare-part and cooking ingredients?

How can you be so foolish to have believed someone rose to the post of a General without having a WAEC certificate? Keep exposing your foolishness.

As per your Masters Afonja's, they re exquisite people your lots can never be. Like you forgot we re the life line of your land locked region and the highest refugee camp ground for your lots.


Keep hating while we re habiting you and making a few successful

Bros,calm down. Even if a man has Ph.D cert, does that mean his SSCE cert shld not be available on request?

dollyjoy:
Woaw, so that fine guy is officially off the market.

Yeah, he his but anyways, you can check this one out.
Full specs available at request.

buchilino:
I DON'T NO BUT D WAY N MANNER D NAIRA IS FALLING IS BECOMING SUSPICIOUS.

Bros,the truth is that BUHARI did what he should not have done and.ignored what he should have done.

buchilino:
MAYBE, JUST MAYBE BUHARI REALLY IS DOING SOMETHING DATS AFFECTING D INTERESTS OF SOME POWERFUL PPLE IN DIS COUNTRY. SO HOW DO U DISCREDIT SOMEONE U DISLIKE, BY SABOTAGING ALL DAT HE DOES. I DON'T NO WATS HAPPENING AT D CORRIDORS OF POWER BUT D WAY N MANNER D NAIRA IS FALLING, IS SUSPICIOUS.

What has Buhari done that they're sabotaging?

CallmeGlad:
Is Ayo Fayose a governor or media aide?

Me thinks he does the latter job better.

Abi how una see am?

You're cute

Divine will is now subjected to earthly system?

PUSH1:
If dollar sells @ 700 everybody will stay at Home and grow the economy

Like America or Britain force their citizens to stay in the country?

buchilino:
THOUGH AM NOT A GREAT FAN OF BUHARIS POLICIES, AM BEGINNING TO SUSPECT DAT SOME POWERFUL PPLE SOMEWHERE, R DELIBERATELY TRYING TO DESTROY D NAIRA 4 REASONS BEST KNOWN 2 DEM.

How sir?

sarrki:
God bless you my brother

The guy is part of the people that make people to hate my president more

Due to his over ambitious

See,you need to stop this asinine. You're just as your friend is, how can you promote a smoker when you abhor smoking? Buhari is just like El-Ruffai, I hate them together, not hating one because of the other.

sarrki:
There are laid down procedures to that effect

You can just trampled on a president of federal republic of Nigeria coz you want to show stunt

And the procedure starts with sitting at home abi?

sarrki:
Mr intellect tell us something new

How is the court judgement ?

Which judgement is that? Are you standing trial?

omenkaLives:
Imagine wetin this one village people don do am! Odikwa very baaad!

Read again, he's right. The corruption fight should be a holistic one, why seize money alone? How will you justify the freedom given to Yakubu? That's why he has the gut to defend his broad day loot, even if he legally earned the money, stashing it up is a crime in its entirety, by now he ought to be in remand.

duni04:
People tend to spend disposable income on pampering themselves with foreign exotic brands like KFC. However in an economy where disposable income has been on the decline, people will still want to have a good time, but also conserve scarce disposable income. The number one causality in situations like this is always overpriced foreign brands with cheaper substitutes that have equal or better quality.
Its simple economics.

Ok sir, we'll follow the president's lead. He's in UK and we also are eating foreign foods, any problem with that?

sarrki:
Am a patriot

I will defend my country from both external and internal
Aggression

The hatred for pmb is just too too much

PMB won the majority of votes, who are now his too too much haters? He got himself in this mess,promising what you know nothing about. Is it wrong for people to demand what you promised and layer hate you for reneging your promises?

modath:
You do realise this is a "gravely" sick person we are talking about? & pray tell, is there anything in the rules book that this says this particular reporter must get an interview slot ..... . Is there no free will? People can choose not to want to speak with the press at a particular period, This man already did the needful... PYO is acting in his stead... Case closed..





In saner climes, head of governments don't have reporters knocking on their gates to see them,, there are protocols to these things & security wise, do you think it's ok? Would Theresa May, Trump, Mdm Merkel have people knocking on their doors & the next thing is to be ushered inside..


As for reporters camping outside the premises, that is no problem, they don't insist on seeing the person holed up inside, which knocks down your argument...

Is he sick? The people with information said he's hale and hearty

sarrki:
Brother use that thing nah

Its just too early to tell me say it's overheating

Instead of you to counter him, you resort to insults. You clearly defined how intellectual you are.

sarrki:
We are not saying you guys should not report

Let it be caution with passion

It should also be factual

Nigeria journalist should do more of investigative journalism

How? He tried to hear directly from the most reliable source and you're still yearning for investigative journalism.

madridguy:
Get well soon Sai Baba.

Is he sick?

crisycent:

FG is always wanting to ...

deathstroke:
I don't understand.

A diplomatic way of saying your stupidity is legendary

Berbierklaus:
Lolz,such teasing coming from a bushboy

I will pass

Chisos!

sarrki:
Wrongful given

Is the award for padding our budget

We have lost it as a nation

Sun corruption icon of the year

ThinkSmarter:
This man hv really outsmarted Buhari within few days.
There is really a difference between an Educated professor of Law and a literate o'level holder.
The difference is very significant
May the God that elevated GEJ to presidency, elevate you, Osinbajo.

O'level holder? Has he presented his certificate?

President Muhammadu Buhari is keenly interested in the ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into how state governors spent the N552.74 billion Paris Club loan refund shared to the states by the Federal Government last December. A highly-placed official in the Presidency disclosed this to our correspondent yesterday.


President Muhammadu Buhari is keenly interested in the ongoing investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into how state governors spent the N552.74 billion Paris Club loan refund shared to the states by the Federal Government last December. A highly-placed official in the Presidency disclosed this to our correspondent yesterday.

The official, who pleaded not to be named, revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari particularly got interested in the matter following “mind-boggling allegations” in the way the governors expended the funds. According to the official, the position of President Buhari’s administration is that the governors concerned should go and face the probe.

The source emphasised that Buhari wanted the investigation to be “logically concluded” and would not shield any governors indicted. He stated: “If the president would shield any of the governors, would he have asked for the investigation in the first place? Nobody is above the law. The governors should realise that they are not above the law.

“Everybody in this country knows this administration is committed to the fight against corruption. All that the administration wants is that regarding the ongoing investigation into the Paris Club loan refund, the EFCC should be fair to everybody concerned.

“It was because of some allegations that the investigation was called for. The allegations include diversion of the monies into private pockets. Another allegation is that of the hiring of phony consultants to pocket the money. Who are these consultants? What was their role? Who hired them? Where are the monies?”

The Paris Club loan refunds arose sequel to the claims submitted by the states that they had been overcharged in deductions for external debt servicing between 1995 and 2002.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on December 22, 2016 approved the sum of N552.74bn to be paid in batches to the 33 states owed.

Findings showed that as of last month, out of the N552.74 billion approved by the president, N388 billion had been released to the states, with Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, Lagos and Kaduna reportedly getting N14.5 billion each.

While Jigawa, Imo, Borno and Niger States were said to have received N13 billion each, Benue and Bauchi States had received N12 billion each.

While Jigawa, Imo, Borno and Niger States were said to have received N13 billion each, Benue and Bauchi States had received N12 billion each.

Other beneficiaries were Enugu, N9.9 billion; Ekiti, N8.8 billion; Nasarawa, N8.4 billion; Gombe, N8.3 billion; Oyo, N7.2 billion; Ondo, N6.5 billion; Kwara, N5.4 billion; Adamawa, N4.8 billion; Taraba, N4.2 billion and Ebonyi, N3.3 billion.

Investigators of the EFCC are said to have summoned the three signatories to the account of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, had in a statement last year, disclosed that Buhari requested governors to pay at least 25 percent of the refunds made to them from excess deductions for external debt service to be used to settle outstanding workers’ entitlements.

“President Muhammadu Buhari has requested governors to pay at least 25 percent of the refunds made to them from excess deductions for external debt service, to be used to settle outstanding workers’ entitlements.

“The President approved the sum of N552.74 billion to be paid in batches to all the states that are owed, but they are expected to receive 25% of their approved sums in the first instance before this week runs out. There are about 33 states in this bracket.

“The refunds arose following the claims by them that they had been overcharged in deductions for external debt service between 1995 and 2002.



“In a directive through the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, President Buhari said that the issue of workers’ benefits, particularly salary and pensions mustn’t be allowed to continue as a national problem and should be tackled with all the urgency that can be summoned.



“When he assumed office last year, the President declared an emergency over unpaid salaries, following the discovery that 27 out of the country’s 36 states had fallen behind in the payments to their workers, in some cases for up to a year. Following this, a bailout loan was issued to the states twice with a first batch of about N300 billion given to them in 2015 in the form of soft loans.

ld he have asked for the investigation in the first place? Nobody is above the law. The governors should realise that they are not above the law.

“The administration also got the Debt Management Office, DMO to restructure their commercial loans of over N660 billion and extended the life span of the loans. Because this did not succeed in pulling many of the states out of distress, the Federal government this year gave out a further N90 billion to 22 states as yet another bailout loans under very stringent conditions.

“President Buhari has expressed the opinion all the time that the payment of salaries and pensions must be given priority to save both serving and retired workers and their families from distress,” Shehu had stated.

Is it the Nigeria version of Buhari or the UK version?
