ON 4 BILLION TO RENOVATE ASO ROCK (just renovated by Jonathan) SENATOR ASKS BUHARI TO WITHDRAW BUDGET AGAIN

As the Senate begin consideration of the 2016 budget, Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe has heavily criticized the fiscal proposal and asked President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw it in the interest of the nation.
The Senator who is of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from Abia State specifically criticized a proposal to increase “spending that is due to renovations within the Villa: they are going to renovate the Villa with N3.9 billion,” saying “what else do you want to renovate there that Nigerians will see in the Year 2016?”

Abaribe while making contributions during the consideration of the budget proposal said that the budget was faulty on many grounds and could not be implemented at it was.

He said that the adjustments made by the president for which the earlier budget was withdrawn for tinkering rather than reduce spending in areas where they were not necessary simply spread it into different offices.

According to him “a budget that moves domestic spending within Aso Villa from N580 million to N1.7 billion cannot be a budget of change..

“We were told that in the revised Budget there was an adjustment due to error, we agree but what has happened is that the money up to N7 billion were moved from buying vehicles to being spread in offices.”

The Senator said that predication of oil benchmark at $38 per barrel when oil prices had fallen below $30 per barrel makes the budget unfeasible.

Abaribe also faulted the government for increasing spending by 30 per cent based on borrowing.

He said: “Mr President, my colleagues, this budget is indeed unique, after the budget presentation, the finance minister has never come to explain the details of the budget as it is normally done.

“It is a budget of change I agree but it is a change in the wrong direction; I say it is a change in the wrong direction because it says that it is based on zero budgeting requiring all expenses to be fully justified.

“Mr President, a budget that increases spending up to 30 per cent based solely on borrowing, in what way is it justified? That is the question we want to ask the people who brought this budget as change.

“We know what is going on in the global economy: this budget is predicated on an oil benchmark of $38 per barrel and I can now say that with oil being $28 today, this Budget is dead on arrival.

“The job of the opposition is to help the government to get its priorities right so I want to please urge this government to withdraw this budget and go back to the drawing board.”

However, in his contribution, Sen. Ahmed Lawan (APC Yobe North) blamed tha previous administration for the embezzlement of public funds witnessed in previous governments.

Noting that this was the 17 budget he would be debating as a legislator, Lawan said not more than 40 per cent implementation was achieved in any of the last 16 years.

“The proposal before us is the first budget where the executive has deemed it necessary to give ordinary Nigerians genuine hope,” he said.

“N500 billion allocated for school feeding and social SAFTEY NET is commendable. It is time to say oil should not continue to play dominant role as we have suffered economically and politically: it is time to diversify this economy.

“The direction of the executive is the way to go, that is we should make every effort to have the real sector the agric mining and manufacturing.
“The budget deserves the support of everyone including my colleagues on the other side: when we were in the opposition we supported the PDP, they should support us

Bank Stamp Duty: The Fraud Called Buhari
-
Practical financial illustration of the fraud called buhari and his government policy of N50 stamp duty shit
-
If you are to transfer or deposit or receive N1,000,000 into your account, the actual amount you will have, that will be yours is N950,000.
.
Buhari and his criminal cohorts will take a whopping N50,000
.
Because for every N1,000 in N1,000,000, they will take N50. (N50 x 1,000 = N50,000)
Therefore you have N950 x 1,000 = N950,000
.
Do this calculation for
N2mil-- they take N100,000
N5mil--- they take N250,000
N10mil--- they take N500,000
.
Dammitttt--- DAYLight Gunless Robbery!
.
The worse side of this fraudulent duty and wicked tax is; It Will Never Be Accounted For.

Evil Change Continues

"when a president forgets that even in the US there is the Mafia. That for peace and continuity of business, you look away. Tompolo like Saddam, like Ghadafi was the peace in the Niger Delta. A militant was turned to an asset by the PDP. Moneys were made available to him and the boys through means. Now the Peace and progress brought about by the PDP especially Yar Adua and GEJ is frittered away by the dense and dunce Dauran.

Calculate how much the vandalized pipes costs and how much the loss of crude costs and then add the cost of the war Buhari has always chosen as his path from the onset. Is it not cheaper to simply have let Tompolo keep whatever money?

How much does Tompolo have in comparison to Danjuma, Babangida, Atiku and all the oil magnates and owners of OML?

Does Tompolo or any Niger Deltan profit from fuel subsidy importation?

The only time a Niger Deltan makes money from the Federal Government from the oil in his backyard, dense dunce Dauran has the ultimate ambition to kill him.

Of course we know it is because he refused to join the APC. Other "community leaders" who did, despite billions made as well walk free... as they should. If Otedola is a billionaire from oil, they have a right to be too.

We know all this was set off because of the desire of APC to rule the Niger Delta states. As Tompolo ensured Sylva was defeated and as his boys prepare to ensure the same goes for Rivers and Akwa Ibom, the Federal government chose the path of war by declaring the one man controlling the "peace of the pipelines" wanted. His crime?

HIS CRIME He sold land for a university expensively. How is that a crime? You have the government official who bought it at that price. Why not jail him?

Buhari always wanted to KILL in revenge for what he believes GEJ did to his Boko Haram and North. Now is his opportunity. The pipelines are being destroyed and soldiers killed. Now is his BIG OPPORTUNITY. He went to Dubai and instead of talking real business, and peace, he goes there to talk of DEFEAT of his own countrymen. Any other president with WAEC certificate would tell Dubai that his country was peaceful and open to business. The Niger Delta WAS PEACEFUL until his feckless, reckless leadership.

Leadership? We have elected a butcher. So many pathways to peace for Shiites. He murdered a thousand. So many pathways to peace and progress in the Niger Delta. He has chosen the path of war and bloodshed.

The only people he wants to NEGOTIATE with and who he searches for CREDIBLE LEADER is for Boko Haram. The CREDIBLE LEADER of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu and the CREDIBLE LEADER of NIGER DELTA, Tompolo, deserve to be killed or be in jail. The CREDIBLE LEADER of BOKO HARAM however is to be found and bargained with.

WHEN THE HEAD IS CLUELESS, THE BLAME GAME BECOMES THE ONLY SOLUTION.

I personally took this picture on the 31st day of December 2014. As a proud NIGERIAN and IZON man I watched this CNN programme, where steps were being discussed on how the almighty US plans to send a professional team down to NIGERIA to learn how the world deadliest plague and virus called EBOLA was fought and conquered. (Chaii we were on the rise as a country then ooooo).......

DO YOU KNOW HOW IT WAS CONQUERED?

Hear the then president Goodluck Jonathan speak, "When Patrick Sawyer brought Ebola to Nigeria, it was in Lagos that this incidence happened and in terms of politics, Lagos is an opposition party state but the central government is the ruling party. From Lagos Ebola moved to Rivers State, also opposition party state. But because all Nigerians fought Ebola irrespective of political persuasion, irrespective of religion, irrespective of ethnicity, as individuals we defeated the disease. The federal government gave each state the same attention and the same support and today we can beat our chest and say we collectively won the demon who came to fight us. If we can be UNITED we can WIN"

THIS WAS WHEN WE HAD A PRESIDENT AND A WORKING TEAM... Fast forward to today....... We are faced with a lesser demon called LASSA FEVER, in the space of weeks, more than 70 people have lost their lives and this virus has spread to more than 14 states already. How did Buhari and APC respond to this Your guess is as good as mine; they blamed it on GEJ and the past administration.

Hear Buhari speak through his minister of Health Prof. Isaac Adewole " President Goodluck Jonathan's administration is to be BLAMED for failing to implement a roadmap on health drawn up in 2012, this is the cause of the Lassa fever viral disease that is currently ravaging the country"

People of God let's have commonsense reasonings now:

1) if GEJ had blamed the past administration for the spread of EBOLA, would we have been able to make any progress??

2) If he blamed Liberia for not stopping Patrick Sawyer, would we have made progress??

With the rate at which Buhari ONLY calls GEJ'S administration the past administration, one will think that Nigeria is just 5 years old, and GEJ was the first president of Nigeria.

Please someone close to PA Buhari, should tell Him that the "blame game" has never ever solved any problems. While he is busy fighting Olisa Metuh and Nnamdi kanu, Lassa fever is killing people by the day. He should look for his black cow now it is still noon, because when the night falls, it will be difficult ooo. A word is enough for the wise. Egberi Fa oooooo.

I am Oyinemi Nicholas Endeley, a son from the IZON KINGDOM and I just want to make commonsense. DAZZIT AND DAZZOL 4 NOW.

Since we now want to criminalise normal transactions because we hate Metuh, please who among us have ever asked for the source of the money used to pay us for business transactions?

Furthermore, since President Buhari admitted receiving car gifts from Dasuki does that also make him a "rogue, criminal, thief" and with blood of Boko Haram victims on his hands? Or did the President know the source of the money Dasuki used to buy him 2 jeeps? Did he ask Dasuki before accepting?

If the answer is no then what is Metuh's offence beyond accepting money from his president to execute whatever transaction? Who will reject money given to him by the President to do something for him? So if Jonathan had given me N1b to buy Aba made ankara for his campaign I will ask him "Mr President did you collect the money from Boko Haram arms fund"?

Ara gbagbukwa ekwensu!!!!

Go ahead and criminalise transactions because you hate Metuh or incensed by the propaganda but always remember that there is no proof that you did not receive money meant for another thing from someone. That includes even from Dasuki because he may have bought recharge cards, bottled water, food etc from you using the money in question. Or may be someone who got from him bought from you and paid with "looted money" without telling you the source.

Common sense is simply uncommon and I don't really care how it ends because I know how I make my own money.

Dasuki, I don't know from Adam. Metuh, I have never seen in real life. Falae, na tv I dey see am. President Buhari nko? Na Aba I see am inside Dasuki moto as he was passing to Etche road field. But you cannot hold me for seeing a vehicle bought with Dasuki money.

Can you?

HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF?

Toroko Amos

ON BUHARI, NEW YORK TMES WROTE

"Four months after seizing power, Nigeria’s military leaders appear to be suffering an erosion of popular support.

Last Dec. 31, Maj. Gen. Mohammed Buhari led a group of young officers in a coup against the civilian Government of President Shehu Shagari, saying the takeover was necessary to save Nigeria, Africa’s richest and most populous nation, from economic collapse.

The military intervention appeared at the time to enjoy enthusiastic support from a broad range of Nigeria’s population.

Many intellectuals argued that the corruption and incompetence of the Shagari administration had made drastic action both necessary and inevitable. Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living.

Growing Disappointment

Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government’s approach and pace.

”Since coming to power, this Government has not found a single problem,” said Dr. Olu Onagoruwa, a prominent lawyer and a longtime opponent of the Shagari administration. ”But it has managed to alienate the judiciary, the press, labor and students – all the groups that supported it just a few months ago.”

Critics of the military Government point out that it has yet to present its budget. Loan negotiations with the International Monetary Fund continue but Western economists say that Nigeria and the I.M.F. appear to be further apart now than during the final days of the Shagari administration.

Early indications that General Buhari would agree to devalue Nigeria’s currency, liberalize trade and reduce domestic petroleum subsidies have so far not materialized. Prices Have Climbed

In addition, prices for food and other essential commodities, which fell in the first weeks after the coup largely because of the presence of soldiers in the marketplaces, have now returned to or exceeded their levels before the coup. Unemployment has been rising, and many of the imported raw materials and spare parts needed to keep factories running have been lacking.

Critics note further that political activity and even debate have been banned and some students organizations have been outlawed. There has been a clampdown on Nigeria’s press, and the country’s traditionally independent judiciary has also seen its role sharply diminished.

”At the moment we’re looking at a clear movement toward authoritarian dictatorship,” said Stanley N. Macebuh, executive editor of The Guardian, an independent newspaper that had often taken the Shagari administration to task. ”It’s a trend that disturbs a lot of people, not least those who welcomed the change of government.”

Spokesmen for the military leadership maintain that they know what they are doing and refuse to be rushed. They deny the charges of inaction, saying that steps have been taken. Trials Being Prepared

The Government, they say, has put much energy into investigating the corruption of the Shagari administration and in preparing tribunals to try the accused, close to 500 of whom are now under detention.

Officials say about 2,000 illegal aliens have been ejected from the country and several thousand people have been detained in a crackdown on suspected criminals and Moslem extremists.

They say Nigeria’s bloated bureaucracy has been streamlined through the dismissal of thousands of officials and civil servants.

Three weeks ago an agreement was reached in London on converting a part of Nigeria’s uninsured trade debts into loans.

The Government’s critics respond that the economic initiatives treat symptoms rather than causes and aid the larger issue of how to restructure Nigeria’s economy.

A Western diplomat said General Buhari ”could have accomplished so much if he had moved quickly and boldly in the early days when his popularity was still so high and when he could have credibly blamed everything on Shagari.”

THE SPOTS OF THE LEOPARD

BUHARI AND HIS LOVE FOR WARS............

In 1983 he came into power through the back door, and immediately he started fighting WARS.

● WAR AGAINST INDISCIPLINE; the economy was crashing down but Buhari was more concerned about how people queued up to enter buses and taxis.

● WAR AGAINST FREEDOM OF SPEECH through the obnoxious DECREE 4 against which TRUTH was a treasonable offence. Jobs were being lost and untold suffering was been experienced by Nigerians but he was more concerned about what the press had to write in the newspapers and jailing journalists and shutting down media houses who dared to speak the TRUTH.

● WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION; There was massive Inflation of essential commodities everywhere and the nation was plunging into recession but he was more concerned about the money the past administration presumably looted, jailing the then Vice President Ekuweme (IGBO) But Placing the President Shagari (FULANI) Under House Arrest to eat Dambu Nama, tuwo shinkafa, and dankawe (vindictive and selective corruption fight). >>>>>>> Fast forward to today and the needless unproductive WARS haven't changed because the soldier is still the same though he claimed to have repented, we all know that "once a soldier ALWAYS a soldier".

● WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION STILL, while again the nation plunges into recession, why the naira is falling and the price of CRUDE oil is dropping by the day, he is more concerned about recovering loots allegedly stolen by the past administration, yet he has left Ameachi, Tinibu, Atiku, Fashola and has imprisoned the likes of Olisa Metuh, Raymond Dokpesi. Someone tell me, how could Olisa Metuh and Raymond Dokpesi have stolen more money than men like Fashola and Lootimi Amaechi who served as governors for 8 years in office? (just like 1983 vindictive and selective corruption fight ).

● WAR AGAINST NNAMDI KANU and HIS PEOPLE, Nigerians are losing their jobs by the day, and small businesses are shutting down bringing untold hardship to citizens but yet he is more concerned about Nnamdi kanu and a broadcasting equipment he has, if the country (Nigeria) was working Nnamdi kanu and his people wouldn't be bent on leaving the marriage because nobody walks out of a good and perfect marriage. Instead of trying to make the marriage work, he is busy fighting and torturing his spouse and still expecting them to stay happily in the marriage. Buhari are you GOD?

● WAR AGAINST GOVERNMENT TOMPOLO AND THE NIGER DELTA; Foreign investors are packing OUT, investors are losing their investments, Shekau and his boys are terrorising the North and killing defenceless Nigerians by the hour, but yet he is more concerned about starting a war against Government Tompolo and the peace seen in the settled waters of the creeks in Niger Delta for the past 6 years, He is more concerned about Fighting the governors of the key south-south states and trying so hard to install his stooges, thereby causing UNREST in the region.......

Just like he didn't win any war in 1983 and was quickly and forcefully booted out by IBB; so also he isn't clearly winning any of the wars he has started in 2016 and it is just 8 months into this dilemma called a tenure. No man is bigger than the country, God always shows up and removes every tyrant that has proved stubborn, either by raising MEN who will do it by COUP, or by raising WOMEN who will do it through the FORBIDDEN APPLE. It has gotten to the choice part, the offer is on the table, open to any tyrant who has disregarded the laws of the land he met.

Someone close to Buhari should give him this my BEST adage "the bitter kola lasts LONGER in the mouth of those that know it's WORTH" how does it last longer?? They don't chew all the time, they know when to chew, Buhari should know the battles to fight and those to leave so this kola can last long in his old mouth. If he doesn't know any battle to fight, tell him to fight the battle that keeps knocking our naira down and down, tell him to fight the battle that makes people sleep in queues and STILL buy fuel at exorbitant prices. Tell him to fight the lassa fever battle that has claimed 100s of lives,, and has spread to over 24 states. Tell him to fight the Bokoharam Sect that are killing his brothers and sisters by the day, tell him to fight corruption SQUARELY starting from probing his campaign financiers. Someone please tell him all I have said. Thank you.

CASE CLOSED........

CASE NEVER CLOSE...MAKE I DO SMALL SCRIPTURAL EXPOSITION

1 John 3:20New International Version (NIV)

20 If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.

Parallel Commentaries

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:16-21 Here is the condescension, the miracle, the mystery of Divine love, that God would redeem the church with his own blood. Surely we should love those whom God has loved, and so loved. The Holy Spirit, grieved at selfishness, will leave the selfish heart without comfort, and full of darkness and terror. By what can it be known that a man has a true sense of the love of Christ for perishing sinners, or that the love of God has been planted in his heart by the Holy Spirit, if the love of the world and its good overcomes the feelings of compassion to a perishing brother? Every instance of this selfishness must weaken the evidences of a man's conversion; when habitual and allowed, it must decide against him. If conscience condemn us in known sin, or the neglect of known duty, God does so too. Let conscience therefore be well-informed, be heard, and diligently attended to.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 20. - Our heart means our conscience, not the affections, which would be σπάγχνα (verse 17). If we are conscious of sincere and habitual love, this will calm us when conscience reproaches us (comp. 1 John 1:9; 1 John 2:1, 2). St. John never uses the more technical term συνείδησις, which occurs in the Acts and 1 Peter, and is very frequent in St. Paul. God is greater than our heart. It is asked whether this means that he is more merciful or more rigorous. Neither the one nor the other. It means that, although our conscience is not infallible, God is. Our hearts may be deceived; he cannot be. He knoweth all things. An awful thought for the impenitent, a blessed and encouraging thought for the penitent, He knows our sins; but he also knows our temptations, our struggles, our sorrow, and our love.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

For if our heart condemn us,.... Of want of love to the brethren, and of hypocrisy in it, as well as of any other sin; for the conscience, which is meant by the heart here, is accuser, witness and judge; it accuses of the evil of sin, and is as good as a thousand witnesses; and upon its own testimony pronounces guilty, and condemns.

God is greater than our heart: for he is the Maker of it, and he has the power over it, and the management of it; it is in his hands, and to be turned by him as he pleases; and he is the searcher and trier of it; and besides, is a swifter witness than conscience, and a superior Judge unto it.

And knoweth all things; that are in the heart; the principles of actions, and all the actions of men, for which their hearts condemn them; and all the sinfulness in them, and the aggravations of them; wherefore, as he knows them more perfectly, he judges of them more exactly, and will reprove more sharply, and condemn more severely for them: hence, if the condemnation of men's hearts and consciences be so very great, as sometimes to be intolerable and insupportable, what will be the righteous judgment, and dreadful condemnation of God? how fearful a thing will it be to fall into the hands of the living God! this sense is confirmed by the Syriac version rendering it, "how much greater is God than our hearts?" there is another sense given by some, which is not by way of terror, but comfort, and that is, that if the hearts of believers accuse, reprove, and condemn for sin through unbelief, or want of clear view of pardon and righteousness by Christ, God is greater, as in power, so in knowledge, than the hearts of men; and he knows the thoughts he has towards them, which are of peace, and not of evil; the covenant he has made with his Son, of which he is ever mindful; and what his Son has done, that he has made full satisfaction for sin, and brought in an everlasting righteousness: so that let sin, or Satan, or the world, or the law, or their own hearts condemn them, there is no condemnation of any avail unto them. But the former sense seems best to agree with the context.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

20. Luther and Bengel take this verse as consoling the believer whom his heart condemns; and who, therefore, like Peter, appeals from conscience to Him who is greater than conscience. "Lord, Thou knowest all things: thou knowest that I love Thee." Peter's conscience, though condemning him of his sin in denying the Lord, assured him of his love; but fearing the possibility, owing to his past fall, of deceiving himself, he appeals to the all-knowing God: so Paul, 1Co 4:3, 4. So if we be believers, even if our heart condemns us of sin in general, yet having the one sign of sonship, love, we may still assure our hearts (some oldest manuscripts read heart, 1Jo 3:19, as well as 1Jo 3:20), as knowing that God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. But thus the same Greek is translated "because" in the beginning, and "(we know) that" in the middle of the verse, and if the verse were consolatory, it probably would have been, "Because EVEN if our heart condemn us," etc. Therefore translate, "Because (rendering the reason why it has been stated in 1Jo 3:19 to be so important to 'assure our hearts before Him') if our heart condemn (Greek, 'know [aught] against us'; answering by contrast to 'we shall know that we are of the truth') us (it is) because God is greater than our heart and knoweth all things." If our heart judges us unfavorably, we may be sure that He, knowing more than our heart knows, judges us more unfavorably still [Alford]. A similar ellipsis ("it is" occurs in 1Co 14:27; 2Co 1:6; 8:23. The condemning testimony of our conscience is not alone, but is the echo of the voice of Him who is greater and knoweth all things. Our hypocrisy in loving by word and tongue, not in deed and truth, does not escape even our conscience, though weak and knowing but little, how much less God who knows all things! Still the consolatory view may be the right one. For the Greek for "we shall assure our hearts" (see on [2644]1Jo 3:19), is gain over, persuade so as to be stilled, implying that there was a previous state of self-condemnation by the heart (1Jo 3:20), which, however, is got over by the consolatory thought, "God is greater than my heart" which condemns me, and "knows all things" (Greek "ginoskei," "knows," not "kataginoskei," "condemns", and therefore knows my love and desire to serve Him, and knows my frame so as to pity my weakness of faith. This gaining over the heart to peace is not so advanced a stage as the having CONFIDENCE towards God which flows from a heart condemning us not. The first "because" thus applies to the two alternate cases, 1Jo 3:20, 21 (giving the ground of saying, that having love we shall gain over, or assure our minds before Him, 1Jo 3:19); the second "because" applies to the first alternate alone, namely, "if our heart condemn us." When he reaches the second alternate, 1Jo 3:21, he states it independently of the former "because" which had connected it with 1Jo 3:19, inasmuch as CONFIDENCE toward God is a farther stage than persuading our hearts, though always preceded by it.

The military intervention appeared at the time to enjoy enthusiastic support from a broad range of Nigeria’s population.

Many intellectuals argued that the corruption and incompetence of the Shagari administration had made drastic action both necessary and inevitable. Traders, merchants and people in the streets welcomed the soldiers and looked forward to a quick improvement in their standard of living.

Growing Disappointment

Recently, however, there seems to be growing disappointment with both the military Government’s approach and pace.

”Since coming to power, this Government has not found a single problem,” said Dr. Olu Onagoruwa, a prominent lawyer and a longtime opponent of the Shagari administration. ”But it has managed to alienate the judiciary, the press, labor and students – all the groups that supported it just a few months ago.”

Critics of the military Government point out that it has yet to present its budget. Loan negotiations with the International Monetary Fund continue but Western economists say that Nigeria and the I.M.F. appear to be further apart now than during the final days of the Shagari administration.

Early indications that General Buhari would agree to devalue Nigeria’s currency, liberalize trade and reduce domestic petroleum subsidies have so far not materialized. Prices Have Climbed

In addition, prices for food and other essential commodities, which fell in the first weeks after the coup largely because of the presence of soldiers in the marketplaces, have now returned to or exceeded their levels before the coup. Unemployment has been rising, and many of the imported raw materials and spare parts needed to keep factories running have been lacking.

Critics note further that political activity and even debate have been banned and some students organizations have been outlawed. There has been a clampdown on Nigeria’s press, and the country’s traditionally independent judiciary has also seen its role sharply diminished.

”At the moment we’re looking at a clear movement toward authoritarian dictatorship,” said Stanley N. Macebuh, executive editor of The Guardian, an independent newspaper that had often taken the Shagari administration to task. ”It’s a trend that disturbs a lot of people, not least those who welcomed the change of government.”

Spokesmen for the military leadership maintain that they know what they are doing and refuse to be rushed. They deny the charges of inaction, saying that steps have been taken. Trials Being Prepared

The Government, they say, has put much energy into investigating the corruption of the Shagari administration and in preparing tribunals to try the accused, close to 500 of whom are now under detention.

Officials say about 2,000 illegal aliens have been ejected from the country and several thousand people have been detained in a crackdown on suspected criminals and Moslem extremists.

They say Nigeria’s bloated bureaucracy has been streamlined through the dismissal of thousands of officials and civil servants.

Three weeks ago an agreement was reached in London on converting a part of Nigeria’s uninsured trade debts into loans.

The Government’s critics respond that the economic initiatives treat symptoms rather than causes and aid the larger issue of how to restructure Nigeria’s economy.

A Western diplomat said General Buhari ”could have accomplished so much if he had moved quickly and boldly in the early days when his popularity was still so high and when he could have credibly blamed everything on Shagari.”

As Buhari WritesTo National Assembly To "Correct Budget"

If anyone says "they" are not listening to us on this page, I will argue strongly. That my post on Buhari writing to the National Assembly admitting errors in the budget, after their games, I see they have taken our advice to simply write to the National Assembly and say they will correct mistakes in the budget. It was not rocket science, except fraud and deceit is the APC stock in trade.

They will not thank me for the advice but since I know they took it, "you are welcome Buhari and APC. My pleasure"

Now officially, once again, We are more reliable than all the news channels in the country.
