Am beginning to doubt the President ability.. If a Saraki(a bloody Civilian) can hold the nation to ransom and d C-in-C (a major general) cannot do anything about it, then am sorry, there's no change yet..

that one thing u can't take away from OBJ, be u who! Firstly Saraki has EFCC charges against him, simply order him to come see you and tell him, if you don't drop this your rubbish ambition then expect EFCC to re-open the case, and this time there will b no mercy. Simple as that, the OBJ way although barbaric but best option in these scenerio because Saraki is doing more damage to the party and Nigerians who voted them into power.

Shamefull

Waiting to see were isreal special force are

Lalasticala, abeg remove the ban on the guy, this topic is very educative

MOD, stop banning this guy jareey, the post is very educative

Moderators: I have already posted this news, seems you are against my thread this days.
Anyway do as you like

He is free to, afterall it freedom of expression

Former governor of Anambra state, Senator Chris Ngige, has spoken on the expectations of the Igbo tribe as regards President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. 
Ngige who spoke to newsmen in Abuja which Daily Trust was part of, outlined the people’s expectations in this dispensation when he was asked what he thinks the people of the region will be looking forward to.
He said, “The preponderance of the people of the South-East didn’t believe that a change of government was possible. Luckily, some of us believed in it, luckily our mantra in our party is change. While the people of the South-East are hoping, we also expect them to change in their political behaviour and political culture. There are a lot of things they will expect from our government, there are a lot of things we expect from them too, it’s reciprocal. This party is not like PDP, we don’t share money in polling booths like PDP is doing and even APGA, we don’t believe in that, they have to change.”
Ngige went on to make a case for the roads in the region, doling out the state of the roads, he said, “Our government believes in equity, everybody knows that South-East roads are some of the worst in the country. Enugu-Onitsha through Awka; Enugu-Okigwe-Umuahia-Aba-Port-Harcourt- impassable. Onitsha-Nnewi-Arondiziogwu- Okigwe; Umuahia-Ikot-Ekpene-Aba and Onitsha-Aba are all impassable, so many federal roads that abound there.
“So, the people of the South-East are looking up to this government to give them good roads and infrastructure. They will also expect the 2nd Niger Bridge which has been talked about for the past 18 to 20 years. The talk about the 2nd Niger Bridge is becoming embarrassing. This is a 1.8 kilometre bridge.
The 2nd Niger Bridge is what we expect this government to do for us because the other bridge is rickety, that bridge is in a state of disuse, it’s not been well managed, and it’s also a bridge that suffered the full weight of hostilities during the Civil War.”
Joining the mantra of anti-corruption that President Buhari is known to profess at every opportunity, Ngige joined his voice to the call, saying, “We will also as a government face corruption; once the system is not corrupt the people will benefit, the South easterners will benefit more because they are always out for competition, and if you give them a level playing field which is in an anti-corruption measure, the South easterners will thrive,”  he concluded.

fitzmayowa:
I hope so too, since PMB is busy appointing media aide for him...

Mr president announce the appointment doesn't mean he choose the person, the VP must have make the recommendation for him

On his first day in the office, President Muhammadu Buhari went into a meeting with service chiefs who arrived the Villa shortly after the president resumed ‎at the presidential Villa.
It is the second time that President Muhammadu Buhari would be meeting with the service chiefs since he assumed office.
And unlike the Jonathan era where such meetings had the Director General of the Department of State Services in attendance, the DG of the DSS was not in attendance at Monday meeting.
The meeting is still on going at the time of this report.
Details later.

The Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode, has assured residents that tolls will not be collected at the second toll point on the Lekki- Epe Expressway.

Ambode made the remark at an interactive session with journalists at the Banquet Hall of the Lagos House, Ikeja, a statement said on Sunday.

The governor, in the statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Habib Aruna, said his concern was ensuring the completion of the road.

He said, “We must start thinking of the future concerning that road. We said we will have an International Airport in Epe, and an Export Processing Zone in Lekki and a Deep Seaport also in Lekki.

“Should we not start thinking about how we will improve and create a 10-lane road between Ikorodu, Itoikin, Epe and Ijebu Ode so that people can go out from there? There is no point constructing the road, paying tolls and in five years’ time, the road is gone.”

The governor said once the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which was being expanded into 10-lane, was completed, the community would be opened up for business activities.

He added that his administration would make careful efforts to grow the tourism potential of the state.

He said, “As more means of transportation come on board, the more than 600,000 private car owners and 120,000 motorcycles that are being put on the road in the state on a daily basis will reduce in number.”

He said his administration had decided to scale up governance by rearranging the civil service through the realignment of some ministries and agencies, while creating a new Ministry of Wealth Creation and Employment.

Ambode said, “We have said this is a government of continuity, but it is continuity with improvement. It is about making life easier for the people. We are receptive to new ideas and that is why we are going to be creative, innovative and thinking out of the box.”

Maczeelly:
Remove it since our refineries will start working to its fullest next month...........

Absolutely

PUSH1:
What is Oil Subsidy? A don't believe it.

kindly read the body of the message, then you will believe it

ABUJA—President Muhammadu Buhari plans to totally remove fuel subsidy and use the proceeds for the provision of free and compulsory primary/secondary education across the country.
The administration is also said to be working on unbundling the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, to make it more efficient in the production and delivery of products to Nigerians.
These proposals form part of the strong recommendations made by the transition committee raised by Buhari to work out a blueprint for his administration.
Asked if the proposal for total subsidy removal had been discussed with labour, the source said that members of organized labour in the country were consulted by the committee and they made presentations on what should be done over the matter.
The source said: “ Labour is part of the decision; they have accepted the proposal of fuel subsidy removal.
“A committee is likely to be set up by the federal government to work out the modalities of what is to be done in that respect.
“But the truth is that total removal of fuel subsidy has been recommended with adequate provisions for palliatives on free education and social welfare for the unemployed”, a member of the transition committee said.
The source pointed out that unlike in the past, the Buhari administration is considering the provision of free meals for students to serve as incentives for them to enroll in school.
The source explained that the committee also recommended the unbundling of NNPC to reposition the agency to serve the needs of Nigerians better.
According to him, all refineries in Nigeria are to be made to work at maximum capacity by the federal government to be able to deliver adequate products to the consumers.
Corruption
He said that the era of allocating more crude than any refinery in Nigeria can process was over, as it was discovered that the policy encouraged corruption and diversion of funds.
In a tone that suggested that the Buhari administration might probe the operations of the NNPC, the committee member further disclosed that the federal government was set to block all channels of fund leakages in the corporation.
He said: “The federal government is keen on plugging all areas of leakages in the corporation and whoever must have caused them must be made to account for such unpatriotic wastages. We don’t know whether that is what you call probe or not”, he said.
It could not be established as at last night whether such decisions of the officials were influenced by the planned beaming of search light on the operations of the government agency.
FG to pay the controversial N160 billion subsidy claims
Meanwhile, hopes for resolution of outstanding subsidy issues hampering normal supply of petroleum products across the country appear kindled as the special investigation team on subsidy claims verification recommends payment of the controversial N160 billion claimed by oil marketers.
As a result, bankers have resumed credit lines to the sector while importation by marketers have resumed though it is still on cautious notes.
The supply shortages witnessed across the country since last month was as a result of a disagreement between the federal government and oil marketers over the subsidy claims resulting in the marketers’ refusal to import more products under the subsidy programme.
In the last week of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, the finance ministry had paid a part of the subsidy claims totalling about N131 billion in the wake of the supply crises arising from this disagreement.
The former Minister of Finance, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, had doubted the additional N160 billion claims ascribed to exchange rate differential and interest rate charges on banks’ funding for the petroleum products imports.
She had subsequently set up a special investigative team made of representatives of Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Committee (PPPRC), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Debt Management Office (DMO) and the finance ministry to investigate the claims before she can approve the payment.
The team couldn’t conclude their assignments before the expiration of ex-president Jonathan’s government and exit of the minister, hence validating the allegation of some of the marketers that the investigative team was designed to provide escape for the ministry from the agreement they had reached on subsidy payment. The marketers had also wondered why the setting up of the team whereas this assignment has always been done by PPPRC without any issues.
Return of confidence
Bankers who spoke to Vanguard last week said that their confidence was gradually returning to the oil marketing sector which they had classified as ‘high-risk’ in the wake of the subsidy claims disagreement, indicating that some of them have resumed granting loans to the sector.
The disagreement had put about N300 billion banks’ risk assets (loans) in danger of default, escalating the industry non-performing loan ratio to almost 4.0 per cent with the worst performing banks hitting above 8.5 per cent aggregate and over 40 per cent on the oil sector. The industry red line is 5.0 per cent at which any bank’s exposure would be dangerous and unacceptable.
Top executives of the oil marketers’ associations told Vanguard that they have information that the investigative team has validated the marketers’ claims in their report to the finance ministry two weeks ago.
However, they said that actual payment is waiting for the settling down of President Mohammadu Buhari’s government, a situation which they also said cannot last for too long otherwise the renewed confidence of their funding banks may wane.
One of the marketers informed that following a meeting with the permanent secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources two weeks ago, some of them have begun importation of products on a low scale while helping the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to distribute its stock to lessen the supply crises. The focused cities are Abuja and Lagos which according to him has been very successful.
He added that the agreement reached with the ministry was just a palliative to welcome the new government of Mohammadu Buhari, adding that eventually they will have to address the issue in a more lasting policy.
The marketers associations, according to him, are unanimous in pushing for removal of subsidy, but probably they will recommend a phased programme lasting not more than six months.
