Why are they always funded with loans. What happened to all the IGRs?

How much is our IGR?

When you deduct recurrent expense, what do we have left?

There is nothing wrong with loans. What's important is its application and the governing terms.

agwom:
Our big men and women are enjoying themselves while poor men and women are suffering...

The poor will remain poor until they work themselves out of poverty.

Poverty is a state, one can work out of it with painstaking effort, resolute resolve and the grace of God.

Lawly:
Mazi Ohamadike. Continue in Gods grace to dissolve this fraud called Nigeria.

Mtchewww!

MASTERCHIEF0847:
"I wish he has the intelligence to do that"...says it all. This was one of the closest people to Buhari for years so he knows what he is saying.

Rubbish!

He's not intelligent abi?

I doubt that you know what it entails to take up the professional responsibilities President Buhari has undertaken, over the course of his military and political careers.

My friend, go find something chop abeg.

eTECTIV:
Dis people are seriously pathetic... So d negotiation and agreement was jus for levels 1 to 7 and U have to start anoda negotiation for 7 and above?

What are you even saying?

What did the last administration do despite the fact that crude sold for over $120 per barrel for most of their time in office?

Do you prefer that they start implementing the minimum wage from people up the ladder? Or wait until they can implement it for everyone?

Have you considered where the fund will come from if they do a whole implementation?

When body go stop to dey pepper una sef?

subtlemee:
Why are they treating him like celebrity?

How please?

Won't police parade a suspect again?

Abeg, make we hear word.

Kingpee2:
I have a feeling this case will be closed out of the public soon,I’m certain this guy has some sort of backings .

Oga, this guy is done for.

He can't come out of this.

Please, stop the insinuation.

sondhoko:
He has wasted our resources for going there; he can't add value to our dear country

Add value to your self first. Only then can you recognize the value others bring.

israelmao:
Nigeria's reputation is on the decline internationally in Buhari's era for total disrespect for the rule of law.

Oga, perhaps you are the declining o, 'cos you can't speak for Nigerians.

Nigeria is not declining. Our infrastructures are looking up. The economy is now been measurably diversified in reality and we are becoming more self reliant and sufficient.

The Nigeria you know is yourself.

Foxman19:
Nawa for Buhari o!!!!...anyone that speak against your government you will just incarcerate them..i begin to differ if Buhari get human blood ...since sowore incarcerated hardly you will see Sahara report news... And sowore know how to dig out the truth.

What nonsense are you spewing here?

Dig up lies you mean....

Hedonisco:
See as your mouth is sweeting you. Yen yen yen. Bloody hypocrite. Do you know how many reports and petitions with substantial proof have been sent to the EFCC and ICPC regarding specific individuals such as Bola Tinubu (and his Alpha Beta), Adams Oshiomole, Akpabio, Amaechi, and Timipre Sylva to mention a few? What have become of such petitions?.. You're here talking rubbish like one peacock whose head is stuck in the cloud, detached from reality. Hypocrites like you are the real problem with Nigeria.

Let me have copies of those reports and the evidences. I will personally re-submit them to EFCC.

I don't do beer parlour discussions. I am not a drinker.

collinsuchendu:
Believe the government at your own peril

The real peril is staying put in that hole and believing that nothing new is happening elsewhere because you have been unwilling to let something new happen in your life as a result of indolence and dependency.

Don't go out to see and change things for yourself, family and immediate community...dey there!

francis5051:
Why will Bois start launching attack on dis efcc guys I think if some of dis efcc are killed dia rate of disturbance will reduce

Go and kill them na...

Small pikin talk!

Mtchewww.

collinsfhk:
I believe you know the truth, tell it to your self. Sincerity pays. Thank you.

Mtchewww.

What truth? Say it here let everyone hear.

Oga, that window you speak of is the whistle blower policy...I wonder whatelse you want.

It will take everyone of us to effectively fight corruption. So, forget this your blame game against the government. It will do no one any good.

collinsfhk:
Please can the federal government of Nigeria enforce a level playing ground? Once you live above your means, you will be called to question by the authority. It will drastically reduce corruption in this country. President Buhari has what it takes ...

What level playing ground are you speaking of again? Must the inadequacy always come from the government?

Whistle blower policy is in force. It behoves on citizens to support the government to rid Nigeria of corruption.

If you know anyone living above their means, and you've got proofs in forms of luxury properties, assets etc. Report such person to EFCC.

The weakest link in the fight against corruption is the Nigerian people, despite being the biggest casualties of corruption. Isn't that an irony?

pocohantas:
If I added some to the entrepreneurs, I would have had to add it to the 9-5 too. Felt that will make my topic too long, after all- I didn't say ALL. There is SOME in the post though

Thanks.

Ok, I get.

Osinbajo for President

Peter Obi for Vice

Yoruba and Igbo together should rip The North of power

What's that your brand of drink again?

pocohantas:
If you are a salary earner, you must be used to hearing these statements from people who are self-employed.

“Immediately after graduation, I vowed never to work for anyone”

“Salary is the token you are paid to forget your dreams”

“Ever since I made up my mind to start my own business, I have realized corporate work is just modern slavery”

“I am my own boss, I control my time”

“You can never get rich working for someone else”... etc

Business people won't allow someone rest. Are we in a competition? The goal is for everyone to earn a living. Why do some of them constantly try to remind us they are living the best life.

These same people have workers o. If we all become business owners, who will patronise the other and who will handle other sectors?

I agree with you largely.

However, I think you should modify the topic to read 'some entrepreneurs' or 'so many entrepreneurs'.

I am an entrepreneur and I do not degrade people who work 9 to 5. Why should I? I mean, don't we entrepreneurs need people to work in our teams or organisations? What can we do without these invaluable human resources?

christopherozo:
Yet, You who have innovative idea to contribute is jobless , wretched and miserable
Yet without contributing that idea, she has managed to become presidential adviser, UN perm rep, ambassador and Barrister and a Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria. Now, Clap for yourself, m0r0n and thank me later.

Mtchewww.

All those she achieved through her husband's name. Wetin she come dey do as her husband don die, swimming abi?

Solicitor of the Supreme Court indeed...please, can you remind me of any of her cases? Either won or lost.

What were her social and economic achievements or contributions before she took on those appointments? How much better did she leave the offices she occupied? Tell me, woman wrapper!

Oga, if you want a job, I can employ you and your unemployed family members.

We nor be mate.

Tolexander:
What brain has Bianca if I may ask you?

Exactly what I was going to ask?

What innovative idea has Bianca espoused or contributed in her life?

MadLogan:
Matured men indulging in this form of crime is a result of a failed government. I shake my head for Nigeria

Are you a criminal as well?

You should be a criminal since the government has failed.

I shake my head for your foolish comment.

TRIGITIS:
Just imagining either of two scenarios.

1. President buhari will not attend the 74th UNGA:

This is what the certificateless dullard has reduced The zoo to, the world leaders don't want to associate with a certificateless dullard ~ ipob Pigs.

2. President buhari to attend the 74th UNGA:

This certificateless dullard just wasting tax payers money travelling round the world ~ same ipob pigs.

Whichever way it goes, the meter reads.

This one well so?

KingsCity:
Appointment Of Soludo Makes Me Believe President Buhari Means Well For Nigeria

Prof Soludo is one of those who should be president of Nigeria one day. He is an uncommon visionarie

It is only an uncommon visionarie who could have moved the minimum capital requirement for banks in Nigeria from 2 to 25 billion Naira. That is what Soludo did. And because of what Soludo did, any time the top 500 banks in the world is announced, Nigeria is sure to have some banks there.

Oga, I am from a town very close to Soludo's, which is in Aguata LGA. Fortunately too, I was in the banking sector at the same time Soludo was Governor of CBN.

Please, stop this unnecessary hype. Raising banks' capital base is nothing significant really. But for AMCON, several Nigerian banks would still have gone under, despite what Soludo did.

Abeg, make we leave matter. It is laughable though that it took Soludo's appointment into the Economic Advisory Team for you to realize that Buhari meant well.

mamotalk:
You have ministry of finance, budget, trade and industry plus CBN and with the national economic council with dangote and co; you are now constituting econmic team. I wonder which kind game that is on in this country.

Oga, this replaces something similar that currently exists. It is nothing entirely new, even though the new arrangement comes with more depth, especially in terms of expertise.


Try to dey read first before you comment....

efighter:
I also think so. Soludo is Nigeria's best brain in Economics followed by Bismark.

I can't believe that someone can so confidently demonstrate shallowness of the mind.

Oga, this isn't a popularity contest o.

I am very certain that you know next to nothing about Prof. Salami before now; perhaps you never even heard of him.

Ladiesdoctor:
Everything about this man is North. He no dey tire with this kind biased attitudes?

Wetin North knows about Economy building?

Wetin stops him from making Charles Soludo the chairman, and all the Hausa's as members?

You nor go face your ladies doctor work abi?

zeromeridian:
Chairman of that board should have gone to the right person, Soludo
He is the most qualified in that team.

mediocrity will kill Nigeria

You are such a mediocre to say that.

You think it is a popularity contest?

Thank goodness that the man that was made chairman isn't Hausa/fulani, una for don bring una petty tribal card out...

You think it is by being former governor of CBN?

carzola:
Soludo should be the chairman of such committee
cause of his experience.

well...
Nigeria is a sitting duck..
we are a thicking time bomb
i hope the next elections comes faster.

Mtchewww.

Soludo should have been....bla bla....


You think Soludo is the only one with experience in economic policies, analysis and strategy?

JasonScoolari:
Even in his sleep, he is still dishing out severe pains to Buhari Media Cows who'll stop at nothing but to tarnish his name.

GEJ is a man of peace, a noble technocrat and a loving husband/father.... No wonder the UN are always quick to seek for his service and wisdom at any given opportunity.

Mind you, it's not an easy feat to get to that stage where the UN seeks your presence and advice.

Unlike one affidavits daura drunkard, GEJ is loved all over.

God bless GEJ
God bless the PDP
God bless Chief James Onanefe Ibori.

Make we hear word abeg.

Going by Adoke's account, GEJ PhD certificate is questionable.

maybachmusic:
yea he was decieved we know

now that Legend Bubu has won, we are still expecting the change
for your info, if you travelled from warri to Ph , you will know there is no road
anyway His numerous zombies have been compensated with an increased VAt and price of food stuff, for a job well done
HUnger no sabi party,
Buhari till hunger resets brains

wetin consign me

You must be shameless to think that Buhari can fix all the roads in the country in four years. Imagine mentioning Warri-Port Harcourt Road....I don't like to do this but.....why didn't former president Jonathan complete that project? Or did you forget that crude oil sold for over $120 per barrel for most of his 6 years duration in office? Or did PDP not spend 16 straight years in office? I hate blame games....but you guys talk like over-fed kids.

Why didn't you speak of Lagos-Ibadan Expressway that is being worked on by Julius Berger? Or the Abuja-Kaduna Railway that is already in use for over 2 years? Have you gone to see the level of work at the 2nd Niger Bridge?

Are you aware that Nigeria's rice production is almost 6million metric tons, and that over $200million dollars is being saved from rice importation annually? Are you aware that more than 10 large-scale rice mills came upstream over the past 4 years? What that the fertilizer blending plants that went moribund? Do you know how many have been revitalized leading to 50% drop in the cost of fertilizer? I won't speak about the Anchor Borrowers Scheme, Social Investment Programs and the Energising Economies / Education Initiatives or Ease of Doing Business Initiatives.....No, I won't.

Have you gone around the airports to see the facelifts they have received? What about the Lagos-Ibadan Rail Project? Have you visited its project sites?

You spoke of the proposed increase in VAT that is yet to be implemented. Have you juxtaposed that increase against the yet to implemented increment in minimum wage? Of course you should know that the former will have to be implemented alongside the later. How did you think the new minimum wage would be funded and sustained? However, that is not the crux of the matter, the real issue rests on the necessity enhance government revenue with the view to accelerate the provision of critical infrastructures in the country, of which if you have been going around the country, you would have seen quite a number of such infrastructures at different stages of completion.

Oil prices fell significantly since the last four years, right? Did you ask how many civil servants were sacked to commensurate with the fall in government revenue? When I say fall in oil revenue, I mean over 50% fall. Do you even know what that means? How come pensioners are now being paid?

theenchanter:
what else do u people want? U people make Nigeria seem worse than it is with ur repugnant remarks. Always spewing trash against ur own country at any given opportunity.

Them no build, una go complain, them build, una go still complain.. if ur system is resistant to good news, why not just leave without dropping junks since u can't handle d good news?

Or what exactly is ur problem?

Bro, that was how nearly everybody in the bus a boarded from Lagos to Warri two days ago spent several hours rubbishing their own country.

When I asked what the problems were: they mentioned power supply, hunger, clampdown on goods from the borders and no money in circulation.

I took time to explain to them that there was hunger everywhere in the world, and that government does not go about serving people food. You work, you chop. Government has not prevented anyone from engaging in legitimate business. I reminded them that there are hardworking Nigerians who are having the best times of their lives and flourishing in business. It is a matter of choice, it is either one rediscovers themselves for an improved life or stay put with whining and complaints.

On power supply, I was shocked that, even the so-called graduates, didn't know about government's Energising Economies / Education Initiatives, which is aimed at providing stable power to business clusters and educational institutions, while efforts is being intensified to improve power supply in the entire country.

They argued on why the FG must ban rice importation, only to look 'confused' when I proved to them that there was no such thing as ban on rice importation, and that government was justified clamping down on smugglers as they were guilty of economic sabotage. Someone even said that Nigerian rice was nowhere in the market, hence government had no right to ban importation. I made her understand that our local rice production was currently close to 6million metric tons which is close to our annual consumption volume, and that in two years Nigeria saved over $800million from rice importation.

On alleged short supply of money in the system, I simply reiterated that the era of 'sharing money' was over, and that we must entrench the culture of 'earning' money in manners that are dignified as opposed to mindless looting and other 'quick money' schemes. I added that the nation's resources were for provision of infrastructures and other projects of common good, not for sharing. I asked 'why won't there be money in circulation before when the treasury was left wide open for people to loot?'

Like my people say 'if you are where you are, you tend to hunger to be where you are not'.

It can only get better for Nigeria. I do not think any country has a perfect system. It's work in progress for every nation as each has it unique challenge.

While it is true that some countries are ahead, I disagree with the outright condemnation of countries, especially by their own citizens, that are on the right path towards national rediscovery, development and sustainable progress.

I don't no why Africans always shy away from their culture and admire the culture of a white man, to me this bbnaija of a thing will never add impact or morals to the viewers . If am wrong please correct me.

You ain't wrong bro.
