My questions. The bolded refers:

1) Who is behind the lies that GEJ budgetted 1 billion naira for his food.
This was the message sold to protesters at Ojota and Femi Falana had even
done one abracadabra arithmetics to arrive at a figure of 1million per meal which
the crowd roared in anger against GEJ.

2) How come over 312 million was budgetted for food in 2011 and no one raised
questions. How come we are suddenly angry now that atleast a minimal reduction
to 293 million is provided for in 2012?

However, I accept that a budget of 293 million for food is too high. The
Presidency/National Assembly should cut it down to about 120 million.

Questions are alway raised about the annual wastage budget!
the minitry confirm the 1billion meal amount check thisday column, right of reply to el rufai


Why do they budget for cars every year instead of every four years

[quote author=sweet_gala link=topic=849594.msg10071476#msg10071476 date=1327794344]The last time I checked the igbo have been well and adequately represented in all governments since the amalgamation of this land, they provided our first president, they had military governors during the times of obj,babangida, Abacha, Abubaka some of whom controlled states outside SE. They have their senators in ABJ sharing in the dividends of a corrupt nation, choppin 20million a month, they have ministers who are inefficient and neglectful of their duties , they have governors who are looting the treasury and LG chairmen who are ineffective.

So answer me this what do they have that other parts of the country do not have be it positive or negative. The igbo brethren better come to understand that we are all being duped by leaders who don't see igbo , hausa or Yoruba but willing ignorant fools , ready to help.

God bless Nigeria[/quote]Gbam!

Tinapa failure- blame the northerners

Second niger bridge- blame the northers

the ports in onistha or thereabouts- Blame the Northerners and the yorubas

Why isnt the rail working in the east- blame the northerner

Why arent international airlines flying into igbo land- those mallams are not upgrading eastern airports

in fact the igbo senators and reps are hand picked by the northerners thats why they are corrupt, the real igbos have been left out of the race

its bloody tedious!

Kobojunkie:
^^^ That hasn't always been the case. Water Corporations help to provide clean water to residents in states. Back in the 80's when Lagos State Water Corporation functioned, you didn't have to dig boreholes on your property or carry containers to your neighbors to purchase water. You had clean water right there from your faucet sourced directly from the Water corporation that managed Water provision for your local government/state.

true, in fact 2 years ago i saw pipes near gutters with water coming out in different areas of lagos meaning there were once well layed water pipes around estates and housing developments. now i just cant see what these departments spend money on

congrats

After staying few months here I must admit that Nigeria is very lovely place to stay. When I was in Nigeria there is no weekend that will pass without you having one occasion to attend. Those things make life more enjoyable, but you can never see those things here.

Everywhere can be lovely especially when you have a job, adequate security, and are with friends and family- and once you find your way around the nigerian community;

do water corporations really provide water to residents or they are mainly for rural communities- boreholes

I have always wondered what minister of water resources and commissioner of water blah blah do considering most people have their own water system done by themselves

As strong as America is, the first thing they do in crisis situation is, evacuate their citizens. Uwazuruike’s courage must therefore, be flexed with wisdom. Wisdom demands that in times of uncertainty, the wise pull back, watch, organise and react. Dead people can’t.

_{Just say this write up I thought would be relevant}

BY : Onyebuchi Onyegbule

I don’t know how old Uwazuruike, the MASSOB leader was in 1966. If he were as old, he wouldn’t have advised Igbos living in the North to stay on amid death and its real threat. Let him also know that he’ll take responsibility for the fate of that call.

Way back in 1966, I went to the railway station to welcome my aunt and saw a picture that can’t quit my memory. The goods-trains from the north conveyed heaps of human bodies, not groundnut bags: cut-off heads, heaps of them filling the endless wagons to the brim; limbs, pregnant women having their pregnancies ripped open, the foetus yet unborn stabbed in innocence, the head of its father stuffed into the womb of its slaughtered mother with swam of flies following from the north to the east. You may shrug but I saw it and it’s reemerging. There and then, I made up my mind to join the Biafran military.

When people say Ojukwu is a hero, it’s that. He said no to pogrom, genocide and the degradation of humanity. He stood barehands, fought government-backed life-wasters and made his mark which remains indelible. Though Easterners wanted to stay in the north, the hate-environment showed their resilience the redline. In the end, those who left late and managed to get to Markurdi, trekked to Enugu through bush-paths. Weeks later, Gowon matched federal forces to the East to attack an exhausted people. That’s the picture of the last civil war in brief.

Uwazuruike may not know all these being perhaps, a little boy. That may account for his advice. Fact is, he has shown courage and determination in the pursuit of the wellbeing of Easterners but one big mistake can wipe it all out. He said he’s gathering intelligence by the hour on the situation in the north. After intelligence, what next? Will he send his army to fight an existing one? Will he send militias to protect Easterners in the churches, markets, schools? Does he want to give the Nigerian military a reason to kill without let in the pretext of fighting a rebel force? Even as non-violent as MASSOB is, the military still makes them easy targets but toasting armed groups. If he tells the people to defend themselves, with what, which training and what support in a hostile environment?

quite lengthy but interesting first hand, there are people that lived that period whilst others read about it like some form of fantasy

the general feeling back then was that this dude will be investigated inside out!

but like some many others this bumbling president has absolutely no intention of prosecuting even a fly!!!

I am a Yoruba boy but this has been bothering me Yoruba Mix with both Igbo and Hausa freely But Igbo People find it so Difficult to Mix with Hausa Why is it like this?

Anyone?

_{the real question is why do igbos hate other tribes[generalisation] they never have anything good to say about other people but they turn it around}

PointB:
It's unfortunate what the north has become simply because people are unwilling to rat on the Boko bastards. I don't believe they don't know them, it is no news that boko haram have grass-root supporters. They are safer giving away the boko haram adherents in the midst, along side other Islamic fundamentalists!

Do boko harams where uniforms?
like saying people in the ~Niger Delta know who MEND and kidnappers are right

what happened to all those chairmen that collect community development tax from you regularly surely they must have an office around
or contact your local government chairman


or as we are in 2012 broadcast the message on BlackBerry and twitter I bet you it will get to everyone in charge even the minister of works and his concubines before Sunday!!

Spread the love

Help your neighbours

deeds of kindness is within your reach- do it!

yea, the real irony in the Nigerian sense is the Engineers think they can do everything but don't actually do anything, well except blame everyone else

_{get in there}

there

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the procurement of two fast moving ferry boats to promote waterways transportation in the newly dredged river Niger for the sum of N623.5 million.

Briefing state house correspondents after the council meeting the minister of information Mister Labaran Maku said that this is in line with the palliatives being provided by the federal government to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on the citizens. The[b] forty five seater boats[/b] will boost economic activities and reduce pressure on other modes of transportation such as roads.

It's not rocket science is it, Engineers

All those criticicing and condemning GEJ will soon eat their words by the time he ends up delivering his promises to 9ja. Initially people must condemn u. Its a sign of greatness. Even Michael Jordan was described as "not good enough" in college! But guess who is the greatest Bball player ever.

Time will tell. ALl we need to do is lend support to GEJ admin instead of criticizing AND DOING NOTHING as we have always done

this is a honest question

How do you support the government, we have prayed for boko haram to repent, we have paid our taxes, we have stayed indoors,
how does one support a government?

olodo goferment appoints olodo police to top position

What did Jonathan achieve in Bayelsa- Nada
What did Ringim achieve in Bayelsa- nothing

perhaps he was trying to use him to cover up for his dirty dealings in bayelsa with militants running free

heard it all before

what happened to the mossad, fbi, agents invited before

yawn! abegi

[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=854232.msg10039318#msg10039318 date=1327432226]First, police arrested and failed to release their members and so boko attacked and killed them

Second, police and army raided and killed who they believe is a boko member and his pregnant wife.

Third, boko will use this incident as a flammable sentiment to carry out further attack in Kano.

. . . where does it end?[/quote]exactly, the military can win support by actually showing photo evidence of their batlle or evidence they had real gun battles

all the so called explosives they claim to find are never shown to the public, all the so bombs factories they find are on pages of newspapers
very soon they will claim to know their sponsors without prosecuting anyone

justice needs to be seen to be done for them to get more support all these newspaper offensive is not re-assuring anyone
people dont feel safer with their pure water take downs

mbulela:
there are reasons why mobile money has been  a success in Kenya and Philippines but a failure or less of a success in countries with similar demographics.
the regulatory issue is a major one. Not allowing mobile operators to go it alone is akin to duplicating an already efficient value chain.
another major one is the literacy level. the literacy level in Kenya is around 75 percent. while Nigeria is one of the 9 most illiterate countries n the world.
If mobile money is targeted at the unbanked (like it is in Philippines and Kenya), the bulk of who are illiterate, then the model must be holistically appraised. It must be simplified and appeal to my illiterate village folks.
They must not make the mistake they made with micro finance banks. A simple model designed for the poor was brought to Nigeria and they attempted to compete with commercial banks in building, official cars and even staff remuneration.

Allowing them to go it alone is risky in a not too well regulated environment, the CBN and the NCC can work more on it
getting the banks to resolve 'common issues' alone is like pulling a tooth,

does anyone has the figures for the uptake of internet banking in nigeria, I feel the banked even need it more than the unbanked in nigeria; bank branches are too congested and services are extremely slow

[quote author=p.desmond link=topic=843712.msg10018359#msg10018359 date=1327182713]@Mauri,

Please i need to ensure that i got my Visa and Admission. Please whats the guarantee that i will get a student Visa once am given an Admission?[/quote]it's getting tedious now, you said you have spoken to the admissions office, you have done your research and you have seen the requirement.

In any case they will refund your money
ask yourself
do you meet the financial requirement?
do you meen the education reuqirement?

the former finance minister also said the same thing, x thousands of ghost workers, even the current minister is saying the same thing

the normal question is where,who,which account is this money being paid into, surely there are people in the HR, Accounts dept making this payment
why not arrest them to explain who,where they are paying them monies to?
