Buhari is their god...... and the midget will trace you and arrest you.

RIP to the children.
It started as "making his government, ungovernable"...... Today, he is no longer there, but the fire is still raging on.

Nigerians have blasted President Goodluck Jonathan over the paltry reduction in the price of petroleum product from N97 to N87, saying the reduction is not commensurate with the fall in crude oil price globally.
Others say the president decided to cut the price of petroleum in order to win the heart of Nigerians to vote for him at next month’s election.
Speaking with P.M.NEWS , Lagos lawyer, Festus Keyamo said winning election was the reason Jonathan decided to reduce the price of petroleum product, describing it as a last minute deception and a panic mode to warm himself into the hearts of Nigerians.

“All over the world, including the United States, pump prices of the products have been adjusted and Nigeria should not be an exception. So, let nobody, including the president think that political capital can be made out of this in this election period. It will never happen.
“After all, the pump prices are supposed to be reduced by half given that the crude oil price reduced by more than half. The truth is that Nigerians are still being cheated even with the current reduction. Let us fight for further reduction instead of celebrating this unfair treatment,” Igbokwe said.

Also, the APC in Oyo State has rejected the slight adjustment in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), describing the development as hypocritical

@bold

Don't you think you and your generation unborn are also involved?

He was no achiever but a mistake who ought to be in jail by now.

Seriously, I am WONDERING WHY HE HASN'T BEEN JAILED.

bloodyBLOGGER:
in a bid to justify the Ineffectual buffoon, you made matters worse for Ngozi okonjo iweala by showing she was a failure under OBJ and also GEJ.

You can call GEJ all the names in the world, it doesn't take off any skin off my nose.
.
We can all turn a blind eye to the ills and mistakes of our Leaders Collectively and decide to insult those we feel we should insult.
.
The guy you are so busy abusing, will always remain an ACHIEVER WHERE YOU AND YOUR GENERATIONS UNBORN ARE.

wirinet:
First that is not AD, APC and APC ideology, it is the constitution. OBJ went against the constitution and created the excess crude accounts, which really helped Nigeria in time of need.

Secondly, the share ideology is not just opposition ideology but Nigerian ideology. No PDP politician - governors, legislatures and public officials supported savings. Tell me one PDP state that saved its portion of allocations. Even the FG did not bother to save its own portion of allocations, would you blame the opposition for that?

My reply is this:
1) If it was the constitution, why then are we all crying and kicking that they did not Save?
.
2) Anambara may not be a PDP state, but ex Governor Peter Obi saved.

wirinet:
You guys are not making sense at all. Are you insinuating that it was Tinubu's objections in 2005 that was responsible for madam coordinating minister of the economy for failing to save in 2014? Please explain.

My dear, I am not insinuating anything. But merely trying to point out that, the opposition which was then in the mold of AD, CPC, APC has always had an ideology of SHARING and not SAVING.
Whatever we are facing today, we should share the blame on both the Opposition then (now ruling party) and the leaders then (now opposition).
They are all culpable.

bloodyBLOGGER:
and why should you believe a governor was the reason a Federal Minister couldn't do what was right?

These IPOB youths sef...

Now that you have realized that it's OBJs tenure, it has turned to the FEDERAL MINISTER and not GEJ, and I am now an IPOB youth.
Continue with your bigotry.

wirinet:
But she did save when OBJ was president despite Tinubu objections then and despite relatively low oil prices. What happened during jonathan's regime? Why could she not save when oil was selling at record prices. She could not even save from FG's 52% share, instead she was borrowing massively to run the government.

Please understand that share and share and more sharing has always been the ideology of the Opposition as far back as OBJs time.
This thread is focusing on OBJs time (2005) and GEJs time.
You can all insult GEJ for all I care, but the ideology of AD, CPC and APC has always been, don't Save. Rather share.

bloodyBLOGGER:
don't you know awards have now become cheap things that money can buy? Or why do you think the Ineffectual buffoon has been bagging many lately?

Ngozi iweala was a huge failure who saw the future but couldn't do anything to prevent the inevitable harm all because she wanted to loot.

Your talk of Tinubu preventing her from saving the excess crude money doesn't hold water. You mean Tinubu stop the FG from doing what was best for the nation? That shows how ineffectual the last administration of the ineffectual buffoon and ngozi iweala were.

Your bigotry is so powerful that you can't even read before commenting. The OP is making reference to 2005 when OBJ was president and Tinubu was Governor of Lagos state.

DropShot:
So Tinubu is so powerful to prevent FG/NOI from doing what they deem right and necessary?

Now I believe that GEJ and NOI are Ineffectual Buffoons indeed.

The OP is making reference to 2005 when OBJ was still president. So it has always been APC, AD CPC ideology to share and share and never save for a rainy day.

If I were to advise GEJ, I will simply ask him to sue the Economist.

TippyTop:
APC always trying to rewrite history.

Why PDP were preparing for the raining day, APC were advocating spend spend spend.

They never believed they will win and that GEJ will willingly relinquish power. Thus, they never prepared for Power at the Presidency.

Nigeria’s Opposition Wants to Scrap Sovereign, Oil Funds
[b]Nigeria’s main opposition party said it will scrap the country’s sovereign wealth fund and a separate excess crude account if it wins elections in February.
“We’re going to put a stop to them,” Lai Mohammed, a spokesman for the All Progressives Congress, or APC, said in an interview in London yesterday. “The sovereign wealth fund and the excess crude account are illegal.”
The $1.5 billion sovereign wealth fund, called the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority, was started in 2011, with the ruling People’s Democratic Party saying the country needed to save money for future generations. The Excess Crude Account, which stands at $4.11 billion, is used by the government to cover shortfalls in its budget and give foreign investors comfort the state can guard against a fall in the value of the currency.
Foreign investors closely monitor the excess crude account, which has helped attract high portfolio flows to Nigeria in the past two years, according to Esili Eigbe, Lagos-based head of West African research at Exotix, a frontier markets investment bank.
“Part of the reason you’re seeing a push for Nigeria is because of some of the shock absorbers,” such as the account that holds oil earnings above a budget benchmark, he said in a telephone interview. “You have to look at this in the context of the household. The household without savings is vulnerable to swings and shocks.”
[/b]
Central Account
Nigeria’s constitution requires that all government revenue should go to a central account and then be shared among the federal, state and local governments, according to Mohammed. Allocating money to the wealth fund and the oil account deprives state and local governments of resources needed for development, he said.
Former Nigerian Vice President and APC leader Atiku Abubakar last week announced he would run for president of Africa’s largest economy and biggest oil producer in the Feb. 14 elections. The APC was formed last year following the merger of four opposition parties. It is scheduled to choose its presidential candidate on Dec. 2, said Mohammed.
“Five aspirants have indicated their intention to run for the top ticket” including former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Kano state Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, Imo state Governor Rochas Okorocha and newspaper publisher Sam Nda-Isaiah, said Mohammed.
The opposition party says President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has neglected tens of millions of Nigerians who live in poverty, and failed to deal with an Islamist insurgency that has killed thousands. The PDP has been in power since military rule ended in 1999.

First Published on National Trail Newspaper A weekly Paper

The bolded is very funny to anyone who has Tyne spirit of discernment.

Discharged and Acquitted of all Charges. Afterall he belongs to the right party and have made his peace with the powers that be.

dustmalik:
Fake, useless news

Because it's not from the Nations Newspaper?

I see. Seeking for deal in Dasukigate.


.

“With open trial, the whole world would know that so many people were involved in the arms deal.”
Dasuki reportedly has compiled the list of recipients of the fund with documentary proof comprising bank transactions, receipts, video and audio recordings of the transaction before the talks.

.
I will say it loud so that the deaf can hear. LET DASUKI HAVE HIS DAY IN AN OPEN COURT. SAY NO TO A SECRET TRIAL.
.
If GEJ is found guilty, so be it. All this deal making doesn't cut it.

Akainzo:
That is the difference there that you just highlighted!

The govt cannot gag his lawyers or any other person from talking to the press except mandated by law. That law can only come into effect when the Judge approves a Closed Trial.

Without that approval of the law to it being a closed trial, all things are fair game and the govt can't even punish an EFCC operative for leaking the contents of such proceedings.

There have been cases where ones lawyers turn against their client. In Nigeria nothing is impossible. Let the press be allowed to cover Dasuki's trial, so that we can be sure of what is going on. Moreover, lawyers are not pressmen.

Akainzo:
Na wa o! How do you suggest they caution the media in a democracy? Please share how to caution the media.

A SECRET TRIAL IS ONE OF THE WAYS. Most of Dasuki's interrogation at the DSS was done in the absence of the Media. But someone privy to the details of those interrogations, made it available to the Media.
If the FG wanted things to be kept quiet, the Media wouldn't have had this Much information. And I am sure Dasuki has also said some other things that this government doesn't want us to know about and are very afraid that Dasuki will reveal in an open court.

Akainzo:
Not necessarily!
No one kills a mosquito on his face with a sledge hammer talk less of killing one on the scrotum.

Dasuki is not an ordinary guy, he is a former National Security Adviser, meaning he has access to intelligence information that are termed "HIGHLY CLASSIFIED" and no nation on earth will trial such people in an open court!
No nation even tries former spies or intelligence agents in an open court, how much more the head of such agencies. It is the height of stupidity to expect a former NSA to be tried in an open court.

The aim should be that he is well represented by his choice of lawyers.

That Ben Bruce is a Senator and does not understand this fact, is a testament to how much bereft of basic leadership qualities the people that we have saddled with making laws for our country. This pronouncement by him, and that h even chose to broadcast it indicates how lacking in depth he is. SMH

The Media has already tried Dasuki. Let Dasuki have his day in an open court. All these excuses don't cut it.
If they were afraid of security secrets being revealed in an open court, then they should have cautioned the Media.

If FG wanted a secret trial this much, why then did they allow the media to run amok on this Dasuki saga.
If GEJ is the one they are trying to protect, I think they have already failed. Cos the Media Court has already found him guilty. If not guilty by committing the crimes, guilty of supervising such a monumental crime.
.
PLEASE TRY DASUKI OPENLY.

nwadiuko1:
you are trying very hard ti bring the guy down

Why will I want to pull him down? What will be my gain? Am I SR or Alex Otti?
smh

IsraeliAIRFORCE:
Public servants also pay tax from source be them ASEPA Staff or LGA Chairmen
Your argument is irrelevant.

In this case he may have omitted paying his tax. Ana aru ya aru.

Prest2005:
in what sense? he was still a lecture when Orji Kalu picked him and made him Chairman Obingwa LGA before he became Asepa boss during T A. Orji administration. He left Esut long time ago even before kalu left govt.

Gbam. You know him.

francondu:
I thought he was a civil servant whose tax is normally deducted from source? Do civil servants pay another tax after the one that the government deduct from salary?

No hé wasn't a civil servant. Rather à public servant.
