I now understand that the sole aim of APC in all this media trial is to silence the opposition, Nigerians need to kick against this because opposition party is required to checkmate the ruling party for the good of all.

She performed very well. I still remember our aviation industry got a good recommendation from IATA during her tenure. Our international airports(Lagos/abuja) may not appear as flashy as those of Dubai and Heathrow but I can tell u we can match em in terms of technical facilities in place which is to her credit. This present government Shud swallow their pride and seek for assistance from those who made key sectors of this country work during GEJ administration .

According to Buhari led FG, Dasuki was alleged
and charged to the court to have
misappropriated less than #15 billion of the
whole $2.1 billion (about #400 billion) arm deal.
Although #15 billion is a big money but the issue
has been politicized to appear to people as if
Dasuki embezzled the whole $2.1 billion( about
#400 billion) .

HiddenShadow:
Thank God that Jonathan peacefully step down so that Bubu can step into power to disappoint himself and his herds of zombies

RichyRodman:
It just shows that Buhari does not have an idea of how to move Nigeria I country of over 200Million people forward! The fight against Corruption is good,but that's his only achievement so far! How has it improved the lives of the common man on the streets? The rich politicians are still getting richer the poor are still getting poorer,The dollar is now N300 (1st time in Nigeria's history) fuel is sold in the east at N120! And N100 in some parts of lagos,traders cannot buy any goods,unemployment rate has quadrupled! The rate of our jobless youths on the streets has increase (both graduates and artisans) the few that are employed are losing their jobs,companies are reducing their staffs all over the country! Price of food and transport has sky-rocketted,even the arms they are talking about,Buhary is yet to appropriate any money,the guns and bombs used currently were procured by the previous government,the electricity some people are enjoying today was done by the previous government,Corruption is not Nigeria's only problem and the way Buhari is going is as if it is! We all know that Dasuki was the one that arrested Buhari when he was overthrown by Babangida,we all know that Olisa Metuh is been intimidated because he's the only person coming out to shout against the dwindling economy. Talking prudence President Buhari and Vice-President Osinbajo will be spending N2.2bn on travels and transport, foodstuffs and catering materials, refreshment and meals as well as honorarium in the 2016 fiscal year? This is a figure that is N710m higher than what was budgeted for the same under the immediate past government in 2015. A further breakdown of the budget for the presidency also includes general renovation of the Guest House at N387m, complete furnishing of the Guest House at N45m, purchase of computers for N27.5m and the construction and provision of recreational facilities for N764m,its one of the reasons he had to withdraw the budget! The same buhari has Fashola that built his personal website for N72Million (as a Website Expert I wisham the one that got that contract) and Amaechi that plundered the common wealth of the good people of Rivers state to finance APC election as ministers,the minimum wage of N18,000 $65) still difficult for governors to pay when our president is still Maintaining 5 Private fleet of Air planes! Is John Kerry aware of all these facts and figures? Nigerians are in for austerity measures more suffering expected,Please let us call a spade a spade and stop chasing shadows! HOHA!

Michael333:
Abeg shut up. This is witch hunting, let d dullard try Tinubu and Amaechi who hv acquired ill gotten wealth.

What has happened to Saraki's case?

Blind Zombies!!!!

kayfra:
This is a major blow to the wailers.

Cry me a river.

The world powers officially support Bubu's war. I mean they acknowledged his fight in bleeping DAVOS! The biggest global economic platform!

Huge!!!

seunmsg:
Is John Kerry also part of the propaganda?

Seriously, what's wrong with some of you? World leaders are supporting the anti corruption fight of the president so that those who stole the resources meant for the development of the country can be brought to book and the stolen resources recovered and put to better use for ordinary Nigerians yet, people like you who will be the biggest beneficiary are trying to run down the presidents effort. Did you benefit a kobo from Dasukigate? See, election is long over and GEJ lost. Support the presidents effort to rid the country of corruption. People like you will be the biggest beneficiary of a corruption free Nigeria.

If you can live and survive in this country, then you can survive anywhere in the world.

Heartbreaks, disappointment, Missile equivalent stories, earthquake erupting judgments, Thief still thief collect back- all na the same people, Preying wolves looking for who to pounce on, the next door neighbour is a fellow neighbors target of fraudulence, inhumane treatments from religious folks, government stealing from individuals and individuals stealing from government. Lawlessness is a trade and entrepreneurial skills to acquire for the rainy day. Corrosive hatred grows like grass in the hearts of citizens.

But what future do all these have for the unborn?

sarutobie:
oh you still remember that press statement he made the other day abi? where a governor(ex by the way) openly said that he was unaware that the railway service was functional, I mean how can you be a governor of a state where a train service was rehabilitated and functioning and you were unaware? for goodness sakes what then were you even aware of? what was taking your attention? jonathan and his family I guess?

Pidggin:
Na their way, lying party. Who propaganda Don help before?

saint047:
Proof has emerged that the Minister of Transportation and Aviation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi lied concerning the Nigerian Maritime University.
The minister while trying to justify the Federal Government's decision to scrap the Nigerian Maritime University told the senate Committee on Marine Transport that there was no work on the Permanent site of the Maritime University in Okerenkoko, Delta state and insisted that what was on ground was “just the feasibility study”.Amaechi said; “Whoever that is holding on to the money should better return it. The Chinese company contracted, confirmed that only the feasibility study was in place.”According to photographic evidence gathered by our correspondent who visited the site of the Maritime University, contractors were seen on working on site with heavy duty equipment, while buildings were captured at various phases of construction contrary to Mr. Amaechi’s claims. According to our correspondent, the temporary site of the Maritime University in Kurutie, Warri South-West of Delta state was equipped with necessary structures and facilities and was set to admit students into the 2016 Academic year pending the completion of structures at the permanent site.
A resident of the community who spoke to our correspondent said that there was no truth to claims by Mr. Amaechi as work was ongoing, he said that the contractors were being arrested while working on the site.
Other residents groaned that the Government was sending a wrong signal to the community as that is what they got from having a son of the Niger Delta as President. They remarked that in spite of the difficult terrain of the area where it is difficult to get sand, the contractors remained on site and dismissed the Ministers comment as uncharitable and sending a wrong signal.
The ground breaking ceremony was performed by former President GOODLUCK Jonathan on the 10th of May, 2014 while the Federal Executive Council approved the decision for the school to take off in 2015.

hush15:
Look, frankly speaking, am part of the many Nigerians who believe she was and is still the best finance Minister naija ever had yet.

Why? That's because she had the affluence and intelligence to counter the challenges of our financial management issues in Nigerian. If when she left, and everything is as it is today under Buhari, it's not because those problems weren't they but she contained the problems without blaming, blaming and blaming who and whatever. There was even surplus to share around by Dansuki, going by what this government is saying.

Rather than this government should work on generating funds to run their own government, they depending on the last administration, blaming and maiming. Thinking the wealth of the nation is based on the number of crude they sold. This even show further incompetence for them to depend on last administration whether there was surplus or excess. We have leaders in other part of the world take nations that are down to even a break even point, not to mention attain a global world status.
The best the present government can think now is to rob their own citizen through double taxation to fund the luxuries. No problem, if anybody is seeking financial assistance and I can render, the person should come to my place and collect but paying into account and they will charge me, forget it.... lol

My point is, Okonjo Iweala contributed to Nigerian economy greatly, truth be told amidst the prevailing challenges of that time compared to what we have now. Her affluence and insight helped and that still speaks for her outside government, if not it would not be so.

Hate her or like her, she is the best naija ever had yet.

Flets:
That goes without saying. All economic indices pointing upwards took a downward turn the minute she left.

The zombies believe the confused Kemi Adeosun is better but that is the case in their airheads

Nigeria needs NOI at this time more than ever. No matter how much we argue, we have no economic direction at the moment and currently headed for doom.

Illiteracy seem to be our biggest problem otherwise the zombies amongst us cannot be hailing mediocrity in the face of an economic disaster.

It's funny the zombies have been programmed to blame crude oil prices for our economic woes while there are a million things that could be done to resuscitate our economy.

Can someone tell me in clear terms this govt's efforts at economy diversification.

funkyibodude:
Watch how APC zombies would come in here and claim that Richard Quest was bribed by some PDP elements to make that statement

Pidggin:
Zombies no go laik dis news at all

Reyginus:
I'm really disappointed a person could pursue a thing for more than 10 years but when he finally gets it he gives the impression of being clueless. The first fail was taking about 6 months to appoint ministers. It's a sign of a person who is not serious.

APCcrimesHD:
Bubu is the height of cluelessness!

Dahveydson:
Registering it doesn't translate to them enforcing the Nigerian military to pay the said fine. The people who took the matter to a mere London court rather than an International court are the real jokers.

Flets:
Everyone must feel this change. Ranging from market women, businessmen, white collar job workers, service entities, hustlers, entrepreneurs, students to even politicians. ....... such that the next time you are approached with propaganda, you go for the jugular.

OP .... the acting NDDC chairman is Amaechi's former commissioner of propaganda. For now they are recouping the stolen election funds spent on Buhari's campaign.

We'll join you in screaming. ... maybe they might have a rethink but the APC govt I know lacks sympathy.

The abysmal arrangement of the scholarship is what you are suffering. A sane government interested in such a scheme will have paid securities in terms of bank overdrafts etc. in advance especially when we had enough to do that ($120 per barrel).

I hope this message gets to the right quarters and saves you from this pitiable condition.
All is well, the lord is your strength .

IVORY2009:
Oga spokes persons to the prisons, just say you received an order from above to place handcuff on his hand, and not all this long super story.

Victorchuks4:
Confused country with NEPA bill holder of a President

francizy:
Hehehehehehe! It's only a fool that won't know what APC is on about. They know absolutely nothing about steering a Nation, they're confused but don't want to appear thus. So what can they use to keep their gullibles happy? "We are fighting corruption". Imagine someone saying that if dealing with PDP members were the only thing Buhari achieved in 4 years that he'll be satisfied.

And then I ask, how will that benefit the common man on the street? How will that help the hundreds of thousands that lost their jobs a and are still loosing their jobs? How will that stop the corruption mostly felt by the common man in the hands of those bastårds in uniform? Let them keep on deceiving themselves.

Chubhie:
Nigeria can not survive four years with Apc.

Ola17:
I beg to differ. In the face of present reality, it is unfair to still say that GEJ is clueless. PMB should simply return things to the way they were under clueless GEJ. Every indices points to the fact that we're dealing with a grossly insincere government. They haven't been able to get anything right, and I'm talking about simple government operations. Nothing is accomplished smoothly and on time e.g
1. Appointing ministers
2. Elections in 2 states
3. Budget presentation etc

Now if a government can't get these 'simple' tasks right, how then can they formulate and execute complex economic policies? How about diversification of the economy in the face of dwindling oil prices?

Investors are fleeing the country in droves, SMEs are closing down and some multinational companies are downsizing due to unfavorable and poor economic policies. At least it doesn't take high oil prices to formulate good economic policies does it?

noblezone:
If care is not taken, the old man will ground Nigeria before December. And Oshimole will blame Jonathan.

I have accepted that Jonathan was clueless. The problem now is, what is the adjective for someone who doubles domestic spending when income has fallen to one-third.

Bros, any ideas.
