I don't think people were criticizing the individual amount. The collective amount just sounds outrageous considering the state of the country.

And FYI, these peeps weren't naked when campaigning, so will it kill them to be selfless and generous and use the said money for projects benefiting the common man. No matter how small.

Nice

Brings back memories of time as a CrossKopa

Nice. So many stations over here are still selling above a N100/litre. Seems like its just total and NNPC that's selling at N87/litre.

Please the DPR should be more active in other states.

If wrongly employed, fine. But if not, dude should just take a chill pill and stop increasing the number of unemployed Nigerians

If Fezzy appears more in the game next season, believe me he's gonna shine and will be heading to global stardom like Kobe. I am so fascinated by his talent and zeal. He got strength too....I pray to have a son in the NBA in future, so help me God

I couldn't help but laugh at this

You've got jokes bruh

I really couldn't care less. Afterall, he's not a part of the government. He's the party leader. Its 2 different things.

Would care more if he became a part of the government.

There is nothing wrong with a probe. Even the S.A authorities acknowledged orders for helicopters and armaments among the confiscated materials.

I think the issue was the large amount of cash involved.


Many Nigerians need to get off the horse of 'getting probed means you are guilty already'

So, basically its still the same thing. That we have to wait till 2020 before having at least 20,000MW which doesn't translate to constant power. Worse is, these nuclear plants will take till 2035 before contributing their quota to the power sector.

See as them dey call the years like Naira
Una want make I die before una promise of constant light go come to fruition?

I believe last time, a certain governor said constant power supply was achievable in 8months. Please someone should refer him to this report. Thanks.

God forbid Nigeria becoming like Somalia.

The country would have split at least 3 different ways before then.

Wish still remains....

Don't know about now because the naira dropped recently, so cant really say whichbis stronger. But what I think the Ghanians did was just redominate their currency and removed 3 zeros from the old one. But the funny thing is that most Ghanians still call the value of the old one while using the new notes. E.g 100cedis (N10,000 equivalent or so) is still being called 1,000,000cedis by a large percentage of the populace today.

Bros abeg, them force you?

Your opinion. My opinion.

Its a free world.

That Swaziland monarch must be feeling like a god. The only remaining absolute monarchy in the world.

Damm, many other African leaders will kill for that kind of power .

If there is no subsidy as claimed, why is the Federal government still paying it?

The hustle is real

Totally forgot about God of war, would have included 2 or 3 in there. Uncharted 3, interesting choice, personally think 1 and 2 was better, 3 had more epic moments i guess

Uncharted 3 is my favorite. Same way God of War 2 is my favourite in the series. I didn't even mention Contra, Street Fighter, Battlefield, FIFA etc. So many games across so many consoles.

1. God of War 1-3 (PS2 - PS3)
2. Pro Evolution Soccer (PS2 - PS3)
3. Dino Crisis 2 (PS 1)
4. Syphon Filter 1-3 (PS 1)
5. Need for Speed Most Wanted (PC)
6. Call of Duty (PS2 - PS4)
7. WWE 2k15 (PS3)
8. Temple Run 2 (Android)
9. Uncharted 3 (PS3)
10. Mortal Kombat 2 (Sega Mega Drive)


And so many many many others. I'm a big gamer. Funny enough, when I played some of those games on earlier consoles, I thought they were the best thing to ever happen to gaming. Now, I knew I was wrong.

Good opinion.

Truth be told, I really didn't know what they were thinking when they made that promise. So, people will just stay at home and receive N5000 monthly, even without working. That's rewarding laziness with wage.

To many Nigerians expect so much from their government, even when they don't pay tax.

So many of the so called 'poorest Nigerians' actually expect government to come and feed them. And you will be surprised at how many of these 'poorest Nigerians' have multiple wives and kids.

Hahahahaha


Next joke please

I keep telling people that any government official slashing his/her official salary is just trying to look sympathetic to Nigerians and in turn get popularity.

The salaries have never been the problem. Allowances, that's the sh*t right there.

Ok, just for the f**k of it.....

You are misinformed, sir.
Oil bunkering has NEVER hit the heights it has hit under the GEJ administration.
Even with the locals providing 'protection ', oil theft soared to 400k barrels per day.

Give the locals the contract , but supervise. Stop all the ocean going smuggling crude oil from leaving the shores of this country. When they realize that there's nowhere to dispose of the stolen crude, let me see if they won't drastically cut back on oil bunkering or drink the crude.

GEJ's administration was the height??. I beg to differ. I thought Nigeria was losing way more than 400k barrels daily, many years back.

Funny enough, I doubt the Navy has all the resources to safe guard Nigeria's vast coastal areas at the moment, unless a rapid overhaul and purchase of more equipment gets in. The past administration has done its part by also equipping the Navy even when it was fighting a war in the north east, so hopefully, this and subsequent administrations will follow suit and equip our military and security agencies.

Nigeria is a truly complicated country.

When the pipelines were being protected by the said 'security agencies', Nigeria was losing millions of barrels. Even with the private security contractors, we are still losing 400,000 barrels daily.

What's the way forward?

Sad news.

Even if the money they stole no reach 100 trillion, the main koko is that they stole money , the money these ministers thief, ur entire villagers go get 200million naira each if den share am , some of u guys no even want make naija move forward , alway taking sides with criminal,

Before you get your panties up in a bunch, I'm all for moving Nigeria forward.

You are now beginning to sound like mr Gbagi himself by saying the money will provide N200m each for my people. Do you even know the population of my people? Talk with sense sometimes.

What you should have asked about is the name of the ministers and why a man like Gbagi, whose hands are not even clean is coming out to say this now? What happened to his mouth before?

I hate allegations. Bring proof and watch as things fall into place. I repeat quoting a N100trillion has already made the report silly.

Wow

Guess it was like a few seconds to a bill. Damm!!!

An assassin can take a life and he gets paid and its legal just cos govt is paying. What makes an action legal is it when govt pays or when d action is carried out according 2 laid down procedures? What legal framework in d land justifies tompolos 4000 fighters? If u then agree that d navy should b improved is by giving tompolo N1.5b monthly and giving him d functions of d navy that d navy will b improved? Will d said money not have improved d navy? Let's begin 2c things 4 what they are so that majority can benefit not just a few

Your like was also the reason why I commented. Be objective. I never told you I supported this. My comment on this thread was because I saw a lot of hate comments as if it was illegal for government to give contracts to PMC. At least you can prove that it doesn't make their armed forces irrelevant.

I also wanted people without knowledge of the creeks to stop saying that they are not helping anybody, because its a lie. Some of these prominent Niger deltans help a lot of their people. Even if you forget the fighters, he has people working for him in conpanies he holds interests in.

I also gave an opinion as to why he was given the contract because I remember back then when the Navy used to complain of not being able to chase or locate the militants because the creeks are not just open sea, and that its difficult for them to carry out their duties.

Bro, I may not have benefited from this, I may be against it, but I wont deny the truth just to get my point across.

lexy2014:
there are no private armies around d world. In d US were they have private military contractors(PMC), there are laws that back and regulate their operations. Same in SA. Do u have such in nigeria? Wherever u have a group of men as u said "fighters" roaming around without any law backing and regulating their operations, they are refered 2 as outlaws. U mentioned 4000 "employed figters". U didn't answer d question, is being a fighter 4 tompolo a legal job? Should we then scrap our navy since according 2u they have been found wanting?

Question 1: In Nigeria, it is since they are getting paid by the government.

Question 2: No, we should not. We should improve the Navy.

I rest my case.

lexy2014:
so fighting 4 tompolo is now a job? With your analysis isn't it better we scrap d nigerian navy?

I may be an advocate for non-violence, but these guys get paid, and employment involves carrying out a deed for wages. Its not just fighters, there are cooks, cleaners, doctors, media staff, administrative etc.

I'm sure you have heard of private armies around the world. Are those countries armed forces scrapped?
Even the great United States used private militaries in Iraq. Does that make their armed forces weak or irrelevant?.

My grouse on the topic is that government giving contracts to private firms is not strange or unheard of like so many people will want to believe.

garrix8:
Gbagi was minister of education and a PDP chieftain.

Even PDP members know Jonadunce was a terrible curse to this country.

If only you knew the man better. Smh

@OP the part where he said over N100 trillion naira just makes the entire report stupid. People running mouth like tap without making sense.

Didn't see where he told Mr Bruce to shut up


Well, Mark is right about the budget, earnings and salaries of the senate being public. Nigerians already know thanks to the FOI bill.

I think Mr Bruce means well but I'll wait till he gets sworn in before making any rational judgement.
