Yeah, he appointed them so they can do the job.

What's the point of having ministers when you all expect him to micro manage everything.

And when they are not doing their jobs properly, as expected whose attention do we call? Boko Haram or Buhari that appointed them?

EgunMogaji:
Is Buhari the CBN Governor or Minister of Finance now?

And who is responsible for their appointments? Jonathan? Abi na Shekau?.....

What did he call it again that time, after waiting for 6months? Putting round pegs in round holes.........

If you know nothing about cars please can you just view and leave a thread? Any car enthusiast who knows what he is doing would not come to peoples threads to be making assumptions based on nothing and also would not be pulling peoples businesses down for nothing. What are you standing to be corrected on in the first place?

Read and grow a brain.

Any car enthusiast who knows anything about Nairaland social sphere will understand why I willingly made assumptions on a car ad based on engine pictures and ridiculous camera angles - which made the car model obscure , in a car section with many people sharing testimonies of cars bought from dealers (or is it scammers) with "wonderful" reviews in Nairaland, with cars bearing engines of another different variety of another car altogether.............

And if you don't know about Cityhood, ask somebody.........

fiizznation:
Where in this junky reportage was buhari indicted? Highligh the place for me please

This your question is wonderful. It suggests that you are largely uninformed about what happens in your own country.

Anyway, I will give you an answer. NNPC is an agency under the purview of the Ministry of Petroleum; when Buhari was nominating his ministers and sending names to the National Assembly, he never sent a name for a nominee for the Ministry of Petroluem.

The reason - as stated by the Presidency - was that President Buhari would oversee that ministry personally; invariably making himself the Minister of Petroluem. Kaichukwu was nominated as Minister of State for Petroluem.........

So if they say money is Missing from an agency that is under the Purview of Ministry of Petroluem : isn't it the Minister that we will hold accountable??

kaeforum:
No Sir, its an A4 , see A6 pix below.

Number 1, I said I stand to be corrected.

Number 2, as at the time I made my statement, only the first 3 pictures where available.

Number 3, I made my comment based on the first 3 pictures available.

Number 4, making guesses on what the car was, based on the engine isn't enough. In an era where Cityhood changes engines of cars and then sells them (ask memeluv), it's probably dumb in 2016/2017 to make such guesses.......

What of Spare gala and la-casera......

Hmmmm......No be only propaganda, na propagoose........

uwemjack:
It's actually an a4 engine

Be like say you never hear of Cityhood before, whey dey put Lexus engine for highlander or golf 3 engine for golf 4.......

HE ADVERTISED THIS https://www.nairaland.com/3483019/neat-reg-toyota-highllander-jeep.

THE CAR I NEGOTIATED WITH HIM IS THE TOYOTA HIGHLANDER OF 1.950M. AFTER CONSULTING HIM, WE FINALISED THE PRICE TO BE 1.8M. TRULY SPEAKING, THE EXTERIOR AND THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR IS CLEAN BUT THE TRANSMISSION AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE DEAD.

I ASKED HIM THE REASON WHY THE OWNER WAS SELLING HE TOLD ME THE OWNER WANT TO UPGRADE. I ASKED FOR THE MAINTENANCE HISTORY HE TOLD ME THERE IS NO FAULT ON THE RIDE. THAT IT IS BUY AND DRIVE. BECAUSE OF SO MANY TESTIMONIES ABOUT HIM ON AUTO SECTION, I DECIDED TO GO WITH HIM.

BEFORE YOU CRITICISE ME, I HAD GIVEN MONEY TO MY UNCLE IN USA LAST YEAR TO DELIVER A CAR TO ME BUT I AM YET TO HEAR FROM HIM SINCE THEN. THAT IS WHY I DECIDED TO GO WITH SOMEONE SO MUCH TRUSTED HERE. SINCE THE CAR ARRIVED, IT HAS BEEN FROM ONE ELECTRICAL FAULT TO ANOTHER. THE DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CHANGED, THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN CHANGED, THE LIGHTING FITTINGS HAS ALL BEEN WORKED ON AND THE TRANSMISSION IS SO BAD.

I ASKED HIM OF THE MILEAGE, HE SAID IT WAS 146 BUT WHEN HE DELIVERED THE CAR, IT WAS FAR ABOVE WHAT HE MENTION. APERT FROM THE 1.8M I PAID, I ALSO PAID HIM 230K TO INSTALL CAR TRACKER, DVD, REVERSE CAMERA, REGISTRATION.

TO MY GREATEST SURPRISE, CITIHOOD DID ONLY THE DVD AND REVERSE CAMERA. THE REGISTRATION HE DID WAS FAKE. THE PLATE NO WAS SHOWING V/WAGEN INSTEAD OF HIGHLANDER. AND WHEN I WENT TO INSURANCE OFFICE TO CONFIRM MY PLATE NUMBER, I WAS TOLD THE PLATE NUMBER HAS EXPIRED SINCE 2013.

THE CAR TRACKER I PAID FOR WAS NOT INSTALLED AND SINCE THEN, HE HAS REFUSED TO REFUND THE CASH I PAID TO HIM. I KNOW I MIGHT NOT ACTUALLY GET MY MONEY BACK BUT I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THIS GUY IS NOT SINCERE NOR TRUSTWORTHY.

I WONDER WHY SOMEONE HAS NEVER EXPERIENCE SUCH FROM HIM ALL THESE WHILE BEFORE WE BECAME VICTIMS. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO 150K EXTRA ON A RIDE I PAID OVER 2M ON WHICH SHOULD BE AS COOL AS HE DESCRIBED. WHEN I TOLD HIM OF ALL THE EXPERIENCE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ON THE SAID CAR, HE DENIED HE NEVER NOTICED THEY EXISTED.

I FAILED TO MENTION THE WINDOW SWITCHES WERE NOT WORKING TOO. THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THE RIDE IS THE CLEANNESS. I SHALL UPLOAD MY WATSPP CHAT WITH HIM HERE WHEN I CHARGE MY PHONE.

Please, it is Cityhood and not citihood......

DjAndroid:
Which kain pictures be these?

That moment when you meet a Middle man/dealer and you still don't understand..........

I get the strongest feeling that, the ride is an A6, I stand to be corrected.........

cityhood:
Yes here I am..
I have read all through what he as said...

As they say good name is better than..............


You what we don't know is that. He only copied the one that he knows he will use against cityhood but he never typed that. He did not top up the gear oil... or others..

I am not here to defend myself nor deny anything.....
And again I never collect money from this buyer and ran away without delivring his or her car to there destination

A car is just like a machine that can disappoint anytime.. since it not a spirit..........
Even tokunbo cars do get spoils. Even before handing over the car to the buyer that it's even the dealer that will use his money to fix the issue on it.

Since he as started it no problem......

Yes anybody has the full right to say anything as no one is perfect if cityhood is not sure he will not tell him to open a page for our transaction on nairaland.

Number one I never even chat with this person today so I don't knw were he got our chat of today from

Now he made mention about police stoppin him
Yes that was true the police called me and they said I should explain what happen why the engine number not there and I told them I am not the one who typed that but it must be a mistake from them internal revenue. Then the police now said that H is a yahoo boy! That do I know about that I said no we only met on net and am the one tha sold the car to him.

The area he said I said he should give the police money was when they said they will detain him and the car because he was so rude. An I called this buyer to beged them because they are doing there job and settle the matter in a mature way with them.


I know it painful that what he bought is a little bit sad because of the mechanical issues on it. .
But all I want people who know much about to understand is that car don't have 100percent gurranty it's a machine and it can messup anytim

dominique:
Then I'm afraid he is about to go the way the likes of inspiredm and chucky234 went. Cityhood, one week is not too long for you to get your client his money back. By 2nd January 2017, if you've not refunded him, your accounts and posts will be taken down. I wouldn't want to do this but you will leave me with no option

Not quite sure how that will help the OP recover his funds but its a pro-active move nonetheless. If it is possible to tag all cars he has posted recently and use it to track his next nairaland moniker, e for just make sense die........................

The first time this budget analysis series ran was for the 2016 budget; and it becomes visible each day that the 1810 page document was a horrid, hurriedly-put, corrupt-conduit-filled piece of executive cluelessness.

Well, since I’m more of a realist than any of the other-ists, I’ll just say that the fact that the world lost an entire tree to the making of the paper it was inked on is a tragedy.

We have been given a sequel; the 2017 budget was presented to the National Assembly by the President in the presence of the ministers who drafted it—and even slept while the presentation was on—and it was called the “Budget of Recovery and Growth.”

If you noticed, it is quite a change from the previous budget of change just like the government’s change mantra. Here are some quotes from the President’s speech on what when passed, will be arguably the most important document in the country—sorry, just checked and it is 63 paragraphs long so I will just skip to analysing the 2017 budget as we await the implementation report of the 2016 budget.

The 2017 budget is N7.298 trillion. According to the government, this comprises of

i. Statutory transfers of N419.02 billion;

ii. Debt service of N1.66 trillion;

iii. Sinking fund of N177.46 billion to retire certain maturing bonds;

iv. Non-debt recurrent expenditure of N2.98 trillion; and

v. Capital expenditure of N2.24 trillion (including capital in Statutory Transfers).

We will begin with the State House budget, which is, 42,917,666,214. This almost double what the previous government budgeted for this in 2015 which was 23,465,865,117. Out of this, 19,970,000,000 is the total capital budget while the total recurrent budget stands at 22,947,666,214. The total overhead is 10,171,082,268 and that for total personnel is 12,776,583,946.

This is the first piece in the #SaatahBudgetSeries2017, and I will be looking at the budget of the State House (which was referred to as Presidency in previous budgets).

STATE HOUSE

There are 16 agencies under the State House, and they are: State House Headquarters, The Office of the President, The Office of the Vice President, Office of the Chief of Staff to the President, Office of the Chief Security Officer to the President, State House Medical Centre, State House Lagos Liaison Office, Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS), National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS). Kuru, Bureau of Public Enterprises, National Emergency Management Agency, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Bureau of Public Procurement, Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, Nigeria Atomic Energy Commission and its centres, and Office of the Chief Economic Adviser to the President which funny enough the President only appointed in August of this year.

The first piece of shit I was hit with, ironically, was the “Sewage Charges” budget of the State House Headquarters” It was put at 52,827,800. That means 144,733 every day. That’s a lot of shit as far as the eye can see. Compare this with the “Sewage Charge” budget for 2015 which was 4,957,143 and for 2016 which was 6,121,643.

This simply means the shit charge went up by 1050% compared with the 2015 budget, and 850% when compared with the 2016 budget. The 52,827,800 question I want to ask now is what exactly are they shitting there?

The State House Headquarters budget for “Honorarium/Sitting Allowance” is 556,592,736. Let me remind you that the previous government budgeted 174,471,371 for same item in 2015, while in 2016, this administration jacked it up to 507,518, 861.

The State House Headquarters still continues to budget for “Residential Rent.” This is something I have failed to understand up till now and I wouldn’t mind someone explaining it to me. That aside, the amount budgeted for this “Residential Rent” in 2015 was 22,459,575, while in 2016 it was put at 27,735,643.

I don’t know how or why, but in the 2017 budget of “Recovery and Growth,” this same “Residential Rent” went up to 77,545,700. Whoever the Landlord of that State House Headquarters is, in this economy, he must be a very lucky and fortunate chap.

There is an 8,539,200 budget for “Anti-Corruption” and I’m perplexed as to what exactly it is.

The last time there was a budget for “Motor Vehicles” or anything like that was in the 2014 budget by the last administration and it was a total of 132,200,000. This government came in in 2016 and somehow concluded that the State House Headquarters did not have enough “Motor Vehicles,” so they started by budgeting 877,015,000 which was something like a 650% increase from the 2014 budget for the same item.

The State House Headquarters still doesn’t think there are enough “Motor Vehicles,” so in 2017 they have budgeted a total of 197,000,000 for the purchase of “Motor Vehicles” and “Buses.” At this rate, by 2019, this government would’ve succeeded in buying enough “Motor Vehicles” to drive the entire country off the edge.

2016 will end up being one of the darkest years in this country in relation to power supply. So, I do not understand where the State House Headquarters got megawatts from in 2016 that they have now budgeted 319,625,753 for “Electricity Charge” in 2017. Just so you know, the “Electricity Charge” for 2016 was put at 45,332,433.

The 2016 State House Headquarters budget for the “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Residential Buildings” was 642,568,122, while in 2017, I don’t know, but it looks like an enormous asteroid managed to hit and destroy the residential building at the State House Headquarters because what is budgeted for “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Residential Buildings” happens to be 5,625,752,757.

As usual, knowing that we have travelling President, 739,487,784 has been budgeted for “International Travel & Transport.” Last year only the Vice President budgeted for books. This year neither the President nor his Vice budgeted for it. Apparently, they’re tired of reading.

Just like in last year’s budget, the entire capital budget for the National Emergency Management Agency is for the “Construction of Office Building,” all 374,473,456 of it.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has budgeted 5,999,070,468 for the “Construction/Provision of Office Buildings.” In 2016 they spent 58,434,683 on that. If you do the math, that’s an increase of over 10,000% and qualifies as an economic and financial crime.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission also budgeted 230,536,000 for “Legal Services.” I don’t know if this is enough, but since they say it is; and as long as none of that amount goes to the case-bumbling, Twitter SAN, Festus Keyamo, no wahala.

In 2016 the EFCC budgeted 93,136,000 for “Motor Vehicles,” but since maybe the corruption they should be fighting has gotten faster, they have upped that to 455,000,000. So if you had a plan of running away from the EFCC, I am sorry, they will have almost half a billion Naira worth of cars to chase you with. It is a car race now you know.

There a line item in the EFCC budget that mentions the “Procurement and Upgrade of Microsoft Product Licences” which 142,237,198 was set aside for. This is as vague as something can get, and when it comes to corruptly enriching yourself, being vague is the best bet.

In 2016 3,260,000 was budgeted by the EFCC for the “Purchase of Photocopiers” while in the 2017 budget 13,755,000 is the magic number.

1,100,595,088 has been budgeted for the “Furnishing of the New Head Office” whose construction cost in the 2016 budget was put at 7,912,502,911. Now, guess what. There is a budget for the “Consultancy of the Head Office Project” and 244,727,624 is budgeted for it. I am sorry; you will have to guess what again.

Let me not stress you, 4,583,616,838 is budgeted for the “Completion of Ongoing New Head Office Building Construction” which 7,912,502,911 was budgeted for in 2016, bringing the total to 12,496,119,749. For those of you that numbers scare, that is over twelve billion Naira for the construction of the EFCC new head office. If the budget for the “Furnishing” of same building is taken into consideration, it becomes almost fourteen billion Naira. That is the anti-corruption model; build a fourteen billion Naira edifice to scare corrupt individuals and firms.

The Bureau of Public Procurement has budgeted 52,957,485 for “Defence Software” and I find myself wondering when they became the Ministry of Defence. But things change, just like this government wants us to believe. I wish them a happy defence.

In the course of going through the 2107 budget, I noticed a significant change. There no longer existed a column to show the state of a project. Previous budgets had the “New” and “Ongoing” tags designated to line items, and it made it easier to understand or rather follow the money. We might not know, but that little omission, which I believe was on purpose, has the ability to make corrupt practices invisible.

The 2017 budget is beginning to look more like a shit-storm, but that shouldn’t be a problem because as you saw from the beginning, they started by budgeting generously for it.

We have come to the end of the first part of my budget analysis; hopefully the second part will have something better to offer us.

What rubbish, after all the money he has spended......

Bia.........Mango, abi na pear abi na wetin be Ya name; hope say you no put all your life savings for MMM oooooh.................

This wan whey Senate nor gree confirm you so, na sooooooooooooory, be Ya name..

I am amazed at my country-men........

I still remember, when President Jonathan declared a budget of over #4trillion. Pastor Tunde Bakare held a semron which was broadcast live on television with the budget at the centre of the message.

He talked about how Goodluck was preping the future generation for slavery, as the budget was too high, and how he was still going to use the instrument of debt to finance such a ridiculously high budget at over #4trillion.

How he was not afraid to tell the truth, and will never compromise on integrity and how it was the duty of men like him to warn the Nation, to warn the people.

What happened to that duty?

Today, we are talking about a 2017 budget of over #7trillion but yet we heard no noise. Buhari is secretly/openly lobbying to borrow #9.06 trillion (that's $29.6billion @ #306 to the dollar rate. At the parallel market rate of #500 to the dollar, that figure is over #14trillion ) yet nobody is screaming.

Even some of the premises on which the budget was crafted, from the dollar rate, to the inflation rate; all are fictitious and nobody is talking.

Except the National assembly, no-one is really taking the government to task, even Pa Tunde Bakare is silent.

It is well.........

Hmmmm.........E don take over from Mama peace...
