didnt he spend close to 6 years as President? how come we are complaining of power supply yet?. GEJ spent 8 years in ASO ROCK.

At no time did buhari say he will make 1 naira equivalent to 1 us dollar. You cant read headlines and start acting like morons who cant read. Your report has a body , read it, many of you are too mentally lazy. I suspect Okorocha said something of that nature.

I am certain Buhari never said that.

tolexy007:
Fasola has failed

In 3 months, he has failed. Waooh. I wont be surprised you voted GEJ who spent close to 6 years to guarantee darkness

I always shudder at the way supposedly sane people defend impunity with so much bare face. I mean this foolish woman's argument borders on what an insane fellow will say. Someone has failed to honor invitation to defend himself and choose to evade arrest, and this piece of old hag comes with an open defence as moronnic as this..

[quote author=pasol4real post=42973563][/quote]yes we have other ports, borders , but they are no where close to prolific as the ones in Lagos. Lagos is the economic nerve centre of the country, in fact, over 60% of value added tax collected across nigeria comes from Lagos. I am helping you to put things in perspective.

pasol4real:
I hav bin seeing dullards but yours has a different dimension.So Lagos gives the fg 50% of its revenue?
Chai wanders shall never end on nairaland.

At the moment of low crude oil price, it wont be far from 50%.

Let me help , most taxes, including VATs, port revenues , land/boarders revenues. Nigerian Port authority makes over 1 thrillion naira annually from lagos ports, so when you factor taxes on industries, smes, immigration, customs, e.t.c, you will understand.

my grouse is not even against the southwest, I don't know why all of you are jumping over hot coals to defend them.

What I can see clearly is that 2.9 billion is an unreasonably low amount to be budgeted for the whole of the south east, that's all.

you ought to read the breakdown, evidently the headline is faulty, it could be a deliberate misrepresentation to cause this sort of discourse. I am not a fan of reading nigerias paper headline and coming to conclusion, i think it is not smart to read a headline and develop opinion, most especially nigerian dailies headline.

repogirl:
Oga, last time I checked, we were in Nigeria and not Yorubaland.

I thought Nigeria is supposed to progress collectively? It seems that isn't the case, yet we say 'One Nigeria'. What a joke! I wonder who is fooling who.

Besides my comment wasn't targeted against 'the progress of Yorubaland' but I guess it hit you too close for comfort.

One Nigeria indeed.

65% of economy drivers resides in SW. 60% of what was allocated to SW goes to Lag-ibd expressway, that road benefits the whole of Nigeria , goods imported to the country are transported via that road to exit Lagos,not forgettting refined petroleum products, it is a win win situation for everyone. Most of the manufactured goods in the country are distributed via that route, quit being sentimental, stay objective.

Under the Ministry of Transportation the South-East has the highest with seven projects amounting to N3.173bn.
The projects include the construction of terminal building in Enugu at 1.2 billion, upgrading of Akanu Ibiam airport runaway, Enugu at N1.087 billion, completion of APRON expansion at Owerri Airport at N273million and the construction of control tower and technical building at Enugu at N274.3million.

Equity is better than equality. Those crying blue murder needs to quit being emotional

What we need is equity not equality. Prioritise projects across the regions on effectiveness.

That we have 6 zones does not mean we must have equal value of projects across the zones. Most expecially when everyone stands to benefit.

We hear all sorts of partnership in times past, i hope this sees the light of the day , a departure from what used to be the output of such reported partnership

dundee propaganda news, i can formulate and package bulllshit better than this,

Fall of Naira is guaranteed as long as there is dollar scarcity, there would be scarcity of dollars as long as our foreign reserves continues to fall, it is currently @27 billion usd a 11 year low, no thanks to drop in crude oil price. We need exports that will earn the country foreign exchange. Buhari is no magician. # Think export not import

I wont be surprised if some readers believe this shitty news.

JesusDWay:
Yes, you can. That's what i did and it was accepted

Thanks, response appreciated

House, i will like to know if in the process of getting my institution to forward my transcript to WES for evaluation, it is acceptable if i can let my school include the copy of my certificate with the parcel bearing the transcript.

Dudeweedlmao:
I know, i get it, jonathan fvcked up
But heres the thing, now that oil price is at an alltime low and knowing that nigerian economy is mostly import dependent
Why should he make it impossible for importers to source the dollar? I understand the benefits of being an export dep. country
But i believe it should be a gradual process not something you just terminate. We can't keep blaming jonathan forever.

Limited foreign reserves ! , we are on a 11 year low foreign reserves of 27 billion usd, a far cry from the 68+ billion usd we had at its peak, we can run out of foreign reserves in less than 12 months if access to dollar becomes an all comers affair.

looks like nail scratches

Leopardd:
Abia requested for bail out immediately Okezie came, but right now we are doing fine, not requesting again.

We are kind of stable now.

yinmu, stop deceiving yourself. The next 3 months, i stand to be proved wrong, if oil stays at in the neighbourhood of 20usd , 35 states will go insolvent. The states will gas out soon enough, except if the IGR generated within the states surpasses what is received from the federal allocation, the bad news is,only Lagos state makes more IGR than it receives from Fed. allocation,

Most Nigerians dont realise yet what will hit many states if oil stays @ 20s usd /barrel, in the next 3 months at most, so called oil producing states will not be able to pay salaries. Remember i said it here first, the Obiano many are making noise about will not be able to pay salaries in the next 3 months.

Over 30 of Nigerias 36 states can be called "civil service" states, the governors are out of ideas that can salvage their situation in the short term. What is coming to hit the states in the next few months is scary , this is not about Apc /Pdp bickering.

ckmayoca:
Also remember many will enroll at some center where the answers will be written for them on the chalk board. I can only say jamb is the only effective exams for now when talking about ssce n jamb.

we are on the same page, when answers are written on chalk board for you to pass, you didn't earn the grade. Waec needs to start fashioning ways to also reduce such exam malpractices. Jamb used to be worse some few years ago, results are not released until 6-7 months after exams, and scores are padded.

ckmayoca:
Not all writes jamb these days, DLC n part-time prog settles the score.

jamb has succeeded in reducing exam malpractices to the barest minimum with the introduction of biometrics and CBT test, results are also dispensed almost immediately, I say kudos to them, but no one seeking admission in to the tertiary institution can escape writting wassce/GCE. That is my main point, any fellow that can earn c6 or even d7 in Eng. Lang. Will write better than that. I think d7 is the minimum requirement to be admitted to a polytechnic.

talktimi:
the budget actually went missing and this particular one is different from the original one Buhari presented in December

No, it did not, what I can infer is that a few copies were tendered on the day of presentation, and subsequently attempts were made to submit a different version by the liaison of the presidency and national assembly creating problem of disparity.

The problem is examination malpractices at wassce , GCE , Jamb.
There is no chance in hell, this fellow earned at least a c6 or d7 in English language to qualify being admitted to a tertiary institution.

BushidoBlue:
You haven't answered my question

You initially blamed civil servants..
So you mean the current crop of ministers didn't go through the budget after it was embarrassingly missing?

The senators who hailed it didn't go through it before calling it the budget of change??
Please enlighten us...

No budget was missing, stop allowing the media sensationalise to the point you can't think for your self. Your opinion does not have to be medias opinion. Beyond the media noise, i can unferstand what the problem was. The fact still remains the budget is a draft and not yet an appropriation act.. The budget draft must be defended by ministers and respective agencies and parastaltals, at the committee level of national assembly and corrections will be made. There has never been a time the budget draft always end up unchanged at the national assembly .

Sharplogger:
having gone tru ur profile...u are not to be taken seriously...I'll pass

this is s social media, where teenagers who can't even vote think they have opinion, in real life, you probably will be too star struck to look me in the eyes . go and sit down somewhere.

Possible locations identified suddenly misinterpreted is unfathomable.

MRSALT:
Only 3 students got four credits in English and Maths in mock exams? In the whole state? Unbelievable.

where did you read that? you got comprehension issues !


The policy is welcomed, the sense of entitlement is one of the reasons why there is mass failure.

A Yoruba adage says, a drug a man collects for free is hardly used or appreciated.

BushidoBlue:
You never Chi Chum Chin....
Keep goading these people until they ruin the economy you hear...

BTW was it the civil servants who stole d first missing budget, replaced it and didn't criss check only to lead themselves here?

No budget was stolen, i guess someone was trying to cover up certain embarassments in the budget by unofficially attempting to replace it, but it is all good if ministers are openly disowning evil, and I am not too impressed with all these still PDP at heart Ita enangs /udo udoma that PMB is working with anyway.

BushidoBlue:
One question.
Who were those in the presidential economic team when this failed budget was being created?

The devil is in the details. Those in charge of the details have shown they cant be trusted. The president economic team had a holistic focus, a bigger picture, a medium term framework 2016-2018.

Make no mistake, the budget 2016 has some very good areas , i have no doubt all of these bullshit will be sorted out in a short while.

Vig86:
I served in Osun state and I can confidently say that 35% of Osun people are thieves and the remaining 65% are gamblers.

You still have a lot of growing up to do, with your comment, you could pass for a 9 year-old elementary school boy.

babaijesha1:
is a mistake, anybody can make mistake even you. Let give our president time to fight corruption

I doubt if they are criticising objectively, they always seek every available opportunity to wail.
Pmb was placing so much trust in those unrepentant thieves and fraudsters called civil servants, some of those civil servants are the wailers you read their evil comments here, PMB even said they were the ones doing the real work and the ministers are "noise makers", i guess he has been humbled now. The "noisemakers" are screaming and talking up about the fraud in their budget ministries. The technolooters masquerading as technocrats in civil service must be placed on close watch as budget 2016 is effectively implemented. I have seen this ruckus as a blessing in disguise, and i am sure some of those technolooters will end up in jail , because they are stubborn goats, and you know a goat cant just stop hunting to eat stolen yams, even at the risk of its life.
