King Solomon I: Kindly back up this vote of confidence of urs wit proof pls and credible links....its getting really interesting here.

Stallion77: Just what i had in mind to say...we are waiting pls... Cos the facts before us are quite clear jor....and the OP presented in clear term so we need to know where u are coming from..Demdem,giv us something solid to chew.

Am delighted about this. like i said, this issue has been thrashed. kindly go to the below thread especially page 2 where a letter from the state Bar of Georgia was posted. Am posting it again on this thread. Its obvious from that letter that Femi was not subjected to any criminal conviction whatsoever. Now that i have given my evidence, can u kindly ask the OP to also bring out his on evidence of criminal conviction if he cant he should cover his face in shame and declare this thread closed

Mandelaguy: You should be confined. This forum can no longer tolerate your excesses.

Alxmyr: When he collected the loan, were you called? Are you expecting Femi or AMCON to close the street, throw a party and do live telecast on TV because he wanted to settle debt.
NASS is useless to this nation. They leave important thing undone, they chase shadows.
Constitution amendment is there, they are sleeping over it. When its 3 month to election they will rush to give another abracadabra.
Land Use Acts is there, a law that has single handed improverished Nigerian by denying them access to land to construct condusive shelter.
That is none of their business.
There is PIB, health bill, Special court to try corruption, amongst other important laws that will move Nigeria forward, they will spend months fighting clandestine war, pass recommendation that is non-implementable and vindictive, then blame GEJ for not implementing them.
They are bunch of disappointment to Nigerians.

Complete crap. If only u know what is AMCON, its duties and responsibilities, these crap won't have spilled out from u. Am sure u think AMCON is a subsidiary in Dangote group.
The house is in line with this investigation, its within their powers and they should be encouraged by all sane minds.

Idokojimmy: Fool, if u are familiar with the case in question, the Fact that Gbajabiamila ran back to nigeria with the stolen money to evade arrest, won't be a breaking news. Upright men with character don't run away from justice. Remember Socrates. The House is filled to the brim with criminals, fraudsters, corrupt, and selfish men. The dignity and integrity that Once defined the hallowed Green Chamber has been washed away by corruption. A just man summoned courrage to expose their evil, instead of being celebrated, and recognised by the house, they plot his fall to avenge the shame and disrepute their member plunged them into. I'm afraid if U don't change, then the future of this nation won't be any better.

Iidiota, ur contradictions are lengendary. that's what happens when one is enmeshed in lies. It's in u.
He evaded arrest and yet on its own unlike Ibori went to US to face his professional body. U are irredemeably dumb. Kindly say yes to that.
I'm mobile now, when I get back on my system, will finally put ur lie into the coffin. Get ur own evidence of criminal charges against him. Am about to expose ur stupidity.

Louis88: OH,SO SORRY, I FORGOT,GBAJABIAMILA IS AN ACN MEMBER AND THEY PAY YOU TO DEFEND THEM BLINDLY,CARRY ON WITH YOUR WORK MY FRIEND,I GUESS IT'S TIME TO EARN YOUR PAY.

Louis88: My friend this is exactly what we are talking about here,the same house called for the sack of DIEZANI because of irregularities that happened under her in NNPC,If I remember correctly you were among those whose voice was heard the loudest on this issue,but now it is Gbajabiamila,whom I also remember accepted to misconduct and you ar here defending him,does this not show how biased you can be,imagine "HE TRUSTED AND SOMEONE BETRAYED HIS TRUST"so in order words if he was not caught then he should have carried on with his scam deals,dude if you support this move of the house then really you are as corrupt as the rest of them.

Idokojimmy: Can a good, upright and a mn of integrity be sanctioned? What is it that makes one a candidate for sanction? People are reasoning through their anus oooo. This man admittted to the crime I wonder people are protecting a thief. We will gang against Them if they try rubbish

Demdem: if at all there is any such thing then i suppose its basically for their offices (maintenance and staffs upkeep) which they are expected to have in their various constituencies (many of them dont sha). NASS should be stopped from personally executing projects

thelastPope: [s]You are right. It isn't the topic. I just want to articulate issues with well informed intellectuals who are passionate about Nigeria even when we differ in our views, not some cybercafe keyboard warrior who shouts on a forum and resorts to insults when he cannot articulate. Lol. At leasti aint fighting with @maclatunji though I don't agree with him.[/s]

Elueme: I pity your ignorance. First he collects constuency project allawance to the tune of hundreds of million and secondly, a politician of his calibal should have cooperate responsibility in form of social services to his people. My quote is not to disparage Mark., he could be doing the above but just to respond to your myopic reasoning.

It seems to me that u cant spot the difference between Constituent Allowance (which i understand they collect) and Constituency project allowance which i doubt if any of such exist
here lies the ignorance.

maclatunji: LOL. Diverting attention from the real issues so that the ignorant ones will never learn- typical sycophant tactics.

U dey mind them av come to understand their "moduli operandi"

thelastPope: Lol. Grow up! How old are you really?

agitator: Is it today you know that most nigerians and not civilized and inhuman? Instead of assisting the flood victims, people are busy capitalizing on their predicament to extort the victims.

I heard FRSC impounded vehicles of people who packed the few belongings they could salvage and were heading to Port Harcourt. Market women increasing prices of foods, especially price of the activist food (G4) has quadrupled from N300 to N1,500 within two days of the flooding.

thelastPope: So whats the difference between april and may? If i am wrong with one month, what difference does that make? You are funny. You are too condescending and petty. Typical of those with inferiority complex. Whats with crossing out people's post. does that suddenly make it false? funny chap

Dpeacemaker101: must every topic on naira land turn to a fight or forum to rain abusive words on people? I tire for you oooo

thelastPope: [s]So Mark and Tambuwal suddenly love Nigeria more than all of us? They are so concerned about implementation that they passed the budget in May? They took one week to go around the 36 states of the country and came back to say the budget implementation was poor? Tambuwal who was installed by Bankole is now a saint that wants Nigeria to move forward? so why are they clamouring for an increase in their allowee? You argue like a kid and curse because you are shallow. Just like you type everyting in bold because you are weak and are seeking attention. Try and be more confident in yourself when you converse[/s]

Jarus: I have just banned PointB and Coogar for 5 hours, for defying the simple rule that they should protest/defend only with civil words. I am aware that one was on the attack and the other on the defensive, I had to wield the big stick on both of them because they both used insulting words in the process.

See you guys by 17:07 hours.

Let's all learn to pass across our disagreements/defence with civility.

take dat: The Presidency should stop this approach of playing victim all the time.The budget from the executive is mere figures and the National Assembly is constitutionally empowered to appropriate budget.The problem with budgeting in Nigeria is implementation which is the responsibility of the executive.The president should sit up and utilise this budget effectively and oversee those MDA,s that have nade civil servants turn to overnight billionaires

thelastPope: So you support that the FG should throw monies around? It is sad that people like you will support anything even if it is against the well being of NIgeria. It only means you are a paid critic

taharqa: Demdem i like you to help me wit analysis the article you just postd since you seem to know much about these things.

Well, i dont appreciate ur flattery because am just an ordinary Nigerian that takes keen interest with developments in my country. I am not claiming any inside knowledge neither am av i claimed i know all.


1st, do you know that the Presidency is a huge institutn made up of not only the president and his vice and their families but also other officials and their families? Do you really think that the monies votd for food is only for the president and vice alone? Do you think it is cheap to provide refreshment and entertainment for many guests that visit the villa( whether local and foreign) including state dinners, banquests, hostings etc.

[b]A govt that is looking for ways to reduce cost in the midst of abject poverty will make sure officials and their families (Nuclear and extended) who are paid huge sum of allowances are stopped from eating from the presidential Kitchen. What sort of nonsense is that? Except the president and Vice who i believe should be Fed till stupour by virtue of their position, why should we also be feeding the likes of Abati, Okupe etc and family just because they work in Aso rock. Are they not paid? What about all their allowances? what are they using it for? Except the Retardeen, the vice and family and probably guards that are entitled to eat from the presidential kitchen, others should be stopped. Because its not cheap then they should have less state dinners, banquets, hostlings etc afterall, we can do without them and besides what value does this add to the man on the street.

Infact, in developed world, heads of government even feed their families with their own money. No one is even asking for that here.

Bottom line, the amount is too much, Cut it down[/b]

Do you hv an idea of what are bn rehabilitatd/constructd in d Presidential villa? For yr info, i am a strong advocate of lean govts as much as it is possible, so wud be grateful if you can provide specifics as to why you feel the amounts are too much on the high side so i can properly direct my criticizing( plz a general ' it is too expensive' wud not be too helpful);

Is there any year, the presidential villa is not being allocated billions for rehabilitation? why billions not millions? is there no stop to rehabilitating. No one is saying it shouldnt be upgraded (which will cost money i agree) but eh if u want specifics from me then tell me what exactly those billions are going to first and i will give u the specifics. Is it that Aso-Rock depreciates so fast yearly that BIllions will have to be allocated yearly for rehabilitation/construction. i disagree.

Bottom line, the amount is too much, Cut it down


any thing that wud furda reduce d cost of governance, even drastically as long as it is necessary is very much welcomd


I agree and this should start from the presidential kitchen. Those that ought not to be fed are being fed.

( i note that already this admin has so far reducd Overhead from more than #500b when it came to just above #200b now; they hv also reducd d Recurrent from about 77.5% when they came to 68.7% proposd nx yr; just as deficit as a % of GDP has come down from more than 2.9% to 2.17%- admittedly much more still needs to be done and am thinking particularly apart Oronsaye Committee).....

I agree with u and i salute this however since the capacity to still cut more even now is still there and glaringly clear, why should i keep mute


On the side note, it doesnt make much sense that an admin that has taken it upon itself to furnish us with details about what it spends feeding its top officials, their subordinates and families( previous admins essentially treatd it as a 'state secret') wud openly want to unnecessary waste money( or even steal?).

It does to me. A leader of an admin that told me that he doesnt give a damn about me on LIVE TV suggest that they dont care about the citizenery. They can do it with much impunity knowing fully well that the vast populace are cowards that wont rise up to fight this madness. They term Nigerians has highly forgetful beings that easily accepts bullshits. Why should the top officials and families be fed when thay are being paid a world class salary + allowances + "Illegaly stealings". By the way, we now have FOI law in place.

Do you even know hw much yr state or local govt uses in this respect?

The more reason why i am crying out now. if the presidency can allocate N2.8Billion for Aso-Rock, what is wrong if each of the 30State governors allocate N1Billion naira each to their state houses culminating to N30Billion naira in all after all these states also have senior officials and families. They also organise rehabilitate and upgrade, they also have state dinners, banquents and whatever owanmbe party they deem fit.

My friend, The head must lead the way. Let FG allocate less than a Billion and lets see which state will go beyond that.

bubadaniel13: Go and find how much NASS budget for 469 people hundreds of billions,constituency allowances in the National Assembly is as old as the Roman empire since 1999,and I find that unjustiable cos it's an executive function.

teskyg: It is not news that Billions of Naira is allocated to both Arms of the National Assembly for Counstitunecy Projects which ends up in the pockets.Execept you guys are new or playing to the Gallery like your cohorts in the National Assembly.
