Sometimes I wonder about the calibre of people who post on nairaland... I can't believe that some fools here see nothing wrong in borrowing N2trillion to fund a 1yr budget. Instead of hurriedlY diversifying the economY bY exploitiNg selected mineral resources, a govt bereft of ideas has come to take Nigeria 10yrs backward. And some braiNwashed idiots here are defending this fraud. RuBBisH

The real truth is that there is nothing wrong with any government borrowing to fund a budget! It is the standard practice everywhere in the world including Nigeria!!

In truth what you find out is that Nations present their reserves as well as their annual budget - clearly citing their projected income in the budget - as basis for obtaining such loans!!

In this case, what is Buhari using the #2Trillion to fund? Capital expenditure?? In the 2015 budget presented by jonathan, capital expenditure was at #557Billion; in this 2016 budget presented by Buhari, capital expenditure is projected at #1.8Trillion - which begs the question; What the Bloody hell is wrong with him?? And he is going to take a loan of #2Trillion Naira to fund it!!

They Obviously wanna use the Money in the Budget to fund white elephant projects so that Lai Mohammed can continue to say Buhari is working and Jonathan is the cause of the lapses in the presnt government - But Jona get power sha !!

What windows for diversification of the economy and investment are captured in this mumu "Budget of Change"??

When there is no money, or source of income is low, you borrow money only when you have a clear cut idea of where to invest such funds, so that you can repay your debt gradually when you start receiving profit and be supporting your already existing source of income!

But when your salary or source of income has been slashed by more than 50% and you hurriedly take a loan to build a house, using the bulk of the funds, with the argument that it would afford you an opportunity to stop paying huge sums of money on rent; or you use the money to change your children from one government secondary school to an expensive private school on the ground that good education is of serious; What will you tell the owner of the funds when he asks for his money??

You borrow #2Trillion and use #1.8Trillion out of it to fund only Capital expenditure!!

Which type of mumu Change is this one??
What type of Somebody is this one??

dazdilijae:
Hmm very correct information so PMB was PDP 2

As at 1999 yes!!

satmaniac:
Go back and read the news link u provided in your post. You misunderstood the PDP membership part.

No I didn't!! PDP was always known as the party of the Ex-generals! From babangida to obasanjo even to buhari; its just that the party system was loaded some much political heavy weight as at 1999 that lobbying was cumbersome and financially tasking!!

Buhari never stood a chance there, the same way with Babangida and that's why Buhari left there

Sometimes I Laugh when I hear people talk of APC and PDP and leave out the real issues that are the focus of a debate in an annoymous forum line Nairaland.

Don't get me wrong; I see nothing wrong with somebody just supporting Buhari's government in a presidential election just because he likes Buhari, but when I see people harp so much on the PDP/APC affliation; then I feel tempted to ask!

In the midst of all this party bickering; how many people even realise that Buhari was actually a former card carrying member of the PDP??

https://www.nairaland.com/174931/quit-anpp-ume-ezeoke-tells-buhari

I guess many people - including all the juvenile political critics of the individual parties - don't even know that the only reason he left PDP for ANPP back then, which is still the same reason he left ANPP for CPC which eventually merged with other parties to form APC is because he complained bitterly that at every turn he wasn't made the party flag bearer for presidential elections!

He has always made it clear, in every political party he goes that he wants to rule this country and I believe somehow God has blessed him with that opportunity; from May 29 to December 29 will mark exactly 7 months, by december 29 his government will be 7 months old!!

It is time for the fellow to encourage his members of his kitchen cabinet to shut up and get to work and stop wasting precious time bickering over trivialities that bear no value on the lives of average Nigerians!!

akanbiaa:
Amen for you and your household for its your destiny thats why your eyes saw it and the timing

Bros don't be so hard on the fellow!!

The story of how much game a hunter may catch in the bush is known simply by looking at the ground!!

As we are chatting here now; the vanguard newspaper reports that fuel is sold in Jigawa for #300 per litre!!

In Ibadan now, there is no fuel to even buy for #300 not to talk of #87!! The only people helping Nigerians in Ibadan are Bovas and NNPC filling stations at #87 and even as at now they don't have fuel and the people that will buy the fuel for the #87 have their vehicles permanently parked at the filling stations waiting for the fuel to arrive!! Of which, based on information available from this current government; jonathan is this cause - this is notwithstanding that Buhari collected approval for supplementary budget #575billion of which #108billion was used to pay subsidy -which before May 29, according to APC was a scam!!

A man cannot curse the light of another man's day and expect to see light in his own day; the truth of the matter is that APC is very inexperienced as far as power at the centre is concerned and will go nowhere fast in a short while unless they are willing to draw on the experience of seasoned technocrats who have served close to the centre within the last 16 years!! PDP is vaguely aware of this and that is why PDP isn't giving the APC much heat, because they sense that blunder will come soon, consistently!!


APC seem to be willing to re-invent the wheel and believe that by doing away with everything that has a hue of PDP's presence in Abuja they will be able to tighten their grip on power!!

Unfortunately for them, they have failed to realise that the Nigerian socio-political space has more variables to be considered than what you will find in Lagos or Osun State!!

Having said that, whether APC or PDP, Professional decamper/anywhere-belle-face/Ashewo or Freeagent may God help us all!!

TeOwl:
PDP has not commented on the looting that was going on when they were in power.

Is there any need?? I thought that was the birth-right of APC? Or has it changed now that they are in Power??

onatisi:
buhari is planning on printing more naira notes . Just wait and see . This has been canvassed by tinubu and co for long. When I tell people that buhari doesn't know who he is or where he is ,people think I am joking or that we just hate the grandpa,he has been turned into a human robot and he is just rubber stamping everything tabled before him. This is a budget full of potential loopholes for money siphoning and corruption. Well to all apc ,time for Chop chop don come ,and to the ordinary Nigerian masses I say ........,this is just the beginning

I doubt that greatly; but if he is foolish enough to try it, then he should be held soley responsible for the downward trend of the Naira!!

Honestly what type of budget is this!!?? At a time when our main income source, oil is shaking, Buhari increases capital expenditure from #557billion to #1.8Trillion!! What type of madness is this??

Ok; agriculturaal sector that was stepping up to the challenge and gradually meeting local demand in certain sectors of food in our economy nko? The Baba dropped rice off the import ban list!!

Have you any idea what that alone means!!?? I don't know about Kano or Rivers or Abuja but the daily demand for rice in the city of Lagos alone is 800,000 bags - and this is at 2004 - and under the past minister of agriculture who happens to the the current MD of AfDB!! We were meeting that demand considerably well only for baba to scatter that one!!

This is minus the demand for rice in the rest of the 35 states of this country; who the bloody hell is advising this our New Mr President sef!!??

They just want to rofo rofo money; because APC are looking for cash to grease ankles! It would have been better if the excess on top the #557billion was used to do bailout in states where salaries are owed and at least reduce the pressure on workers there than the nonsense he is doing right now; at least that will lighten the tension this Christmas on the Macro/micro-economic space within the states!!

I don't even have current international passport now not to talk of dual-citizenship so!! This wan whey this our baba dey sign anything and everything any tom, dick and adamu dey put for E table!!

I tire Oooh!!

Sai change!!

@OP You spoil this tin na! As you come be the only source for this thread, you for just post like one pisure make this topic for sweet naaaah!!

Even wailers from PDP dey vex for you sef, not to talk of wailing wailers from APC!!

U need to redeem ya image oooh!! Incase of incasity Oooh!! This wan whey lalasticlala no even show face; if na one pisure of APC office you see post, post am Ooh!

Make this thread for no lost!!

On a more serious note; this budget is not the people's budget! Let us consider the truth and not the source of this information!!

Look around; consider Nigeria's Macro-economic space! Fuel subsidy is being paid for but sells for as high as #150 per litre, Jigawa state residents are paying as high as #300!

Buhari has lifted import ban on rice, creating unfavourable competition for our local agricultural sector; restricted currency trade to the dollar in such a manner that affects our economy which relies on import to boost certain sectors of manufacturing and trade in Nigeria, leaving Nigerian and International traders alike helpless in the hands of Black Market traders of the dollar; use of Credit cards abroad obtained from Nigeria is banned by CBN, Rumours are already filtering that western Union may be checking out of Nigeria very soon the same way J.P. Morgan chucked us out of their investment port-folio; USA and Iran have finally gained access to the world oil Market as marketers which is already at an all time low!!

And then what does Mr President do; he chooses to borrow #2trillion!!
For crying out, how does he propose to pay?? How does he even propose to finance the budget? What is his agenda for nation? Is it his policy direction to continue blaming Jonathan till the price of oil goes up??

Goldman and Sachs have long predicted that the price of oil is going to fall to $20 2015/2016! What exactly is his plan; besides promises heaven and earth and then send Lai Mohammed to blame Jonathan when they don't deliver!!??

This is exactly how Aregbesola started! At a time when Oil states like Ondo were pegging budget at #167bn, Osun was busy borrowing to fund budget of over $240bn consecutively for 3years at a time when annual allocation from Federal government was less than 60bn a year!! As at now, Osun is owing 3months salary even after receiving billions of Naira in bailout funds to offset 9months sallary arrears, minus money owed to Hoteliers and contractors under various bogus charity project that have no bearing on the overall improvement on the Macro-economic space of the state! When people complained, Aregbesola's caucus were busy cheering him on as the best governor; now the state is worse off than how he met it: and it is still Jonathan's fault!!


What we are seeing is budget of over #6trillion loaded with frivolities in a bid to satisfy unrealistic and bogus campaign promises - note that foreign missions and diplomatic activities overseas are not captured/detailed in this budget which may end up shooting the total budget to as high as #25trillion!!

Nobody is raising crucial questions now; the man is busy creating Macro-economic policies and decisions that are gradually isolating Nigeria from International Finance Organisations, relationship built with serious lobbying from Obasanjo's administration through to Jonathan's time courtesy Nkonjo Iweala for over 16years!!

May God not allow Buhari to bring this nation to bring this Nation to the level of Osun State!!

(An Open Letter to the Honourable Minister of Information of the Federal Republic of Nigeria)

Dear Honourable Minister Lai Mohammed,

Greetings and congratulations on your recent and well deserved appointment as Nigeria’s Minister of Information.

You may recall that we met on the set of ‘Politics Today’ in May of 2011 soon after I was interviewed by Deji Bademosi and just before you were interviewed.

The purpose of my letter to you today is in response to your statement made on Monday the 21st of December, 2015 in which you accused former President Goodluck Jonathan, whom I served as one of three spokesmen, of being responsible for the current excruciating fuel scarcity now subsisting in Nigeria.

Your exact words were “What I will be telling Nigerians is that what we met on ground is such that we are paying for the sins of the last administration…..One of the reasons for the fuel scarcity was the inability of the last government to make adequate provision for fuel subsidy”.

My candid take on your message to Nigerians is that it is an abdication of responsibility on your part and does not project you and the government you represent as being responsible.

Government, as you very well know, is a continuum. One government takes over from where the other stopped and to say that an action in December of 2015 (six months after ex President Jonathan handed over to the incumbent on May 29th, 2015, ) is the fault of the last President, is to confer super human powers on Jonathan.

To prove to you that it is wrong to blame the former President, I will quote the words of the incumbent President.

A month ago, President Buhari, while speaking to the Nigerian community in the Iranian capital, Tehran, said

“I believe if you are in touch back at home, you would have been told that already there is some improvement in power”.

Those were the words of President Muhammadu Buhari in Tehran on November 25th, 2015.

You, Honourable Minister, also boasted about the improvement in power back in August 2015, when you attributed the improvement to the ‘body language’ of the ‘new sheriff’ in town.
You may recall that you said

“I say it anywhere I go that even though we have not added one single megawatt to power, there has been improvement. My colleagues in the PDP will say no; that’s not true. But I maintain that this improvement is as a result of the kind of integrity that President Buhari has brought to leadership.”

Now, you and I know that despite what you said about the President’s “body language”, there is absolutely no way that any action or inaction of President Muhammadu Buhari could have led to an improvement in power.
All the new power stations that have come on stream this year were either built or completed by Jonathan. Absolutely all of them were conceived, funded, built and commissioned by Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Presidents, the same party that you said had destroyed Nigeria.

On October 19th, 2013, then President Jonathan completed and commissioned the 530 Megawatts Omotosho Power station Phase 2 begun by his predecessor.
On February 20th, 2015, he commissioned the 750 MW Olorunsogo II Power Station in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State.
On March 24th, 2015, Jonathan also commissioned the Phase I 504MW (Simple Cycle Gas) Alaoji Power Plant at Umuobasi-Ukwu, Abia State.

Former President Jonathan was also the leader who successfully privatized major chunks of our power generation and distribution infrastructure. He also created the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading PLC.

So concerned was President Jonathan to know the state of electricity provision that I had to do regular, sometimes weekly, polls and surveys on Twitter to get the public’s feedback on the state of power in their locales.

Yet, despite all these, President Buhari and you, Honourable Minister, were not shy at taking credit for the improvement in electricity in far away Tehran and Lagos at various times this year.

One wonders why the same “integrity” you credited for automatically improving power cannot provide fuel?

Don’t you think it is a bit rich to blame ex President Jonathan for the current fuel subsidy especially given the fact that leading lights of your party resisted and rejected the ex President’s move to do away with fuel subsidy by deregulating the down stream sector of the petroleum sector?

Indeed Honourable Minister, you may recall that as the National Publicity Secretary of the then Action Congress of Nigeria, you released a statement condemning the then government’s plans to deregulate the petroleum industry and remove fuel subsidy and also said that the removal of fuel subsidy was

“a threat to Nigeria’s unity”.

Sir, you would agree with me that it is only honourable to take the bitter with the sweet.

I am reminded of my 10 year old daughter’s comments to me every time I accuse her of watching too much television. She quotes a line from the Disney movie, ‘A Bug’s Life’ in which Hopper says to Atta

“First rule of leadership: Everything is your fault”.

If my daughter at 10 is aware of this rule, shouldn’t a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, who also happens to be over 60 years of age, and who also happens to be the official spokesperson of the current administration know this rule?

A bad workman may blame his tools, but it takes an irresponsible workman to blame his predecessor!

When Jonathan became President on May 6th, 2010, he met a comatose railway network. He did not blame his predecessors. Rather, he went to work. Within two years, he successfully rehabilitated a significant portion of our national railway infrastructure and had restored intra and inter city routes for the first time decades.

He made it possible for Nigerians to travel from Lagos to Kano for less than $10 (₦1600).

There were services from Port Harcourt to Enugu, Makurdi to Port Harcourt and Gombe-Kafanchan-Kaduna to mention but a few.

For the first time in decades, there was a direct rail transport from Tin Can Island Port in Lagos all the way to Kano with stops along the way.

Jonathan successfully built the brand new standard gauge 187 kilometer Abuja-Kaduna railway which will make it possible to live in Kaduna and work in Abuja.

Within Lagos, he introduced air conditioned fast Diesel Multiple Unit trains, the first of its type in Nigeria.

I quite remember that when I wrote about these accomplishments, members and sympathizes of your party publicly labeled me a liar.

I remained a liar in the eyes of the Nigerian public until my recent surprise vindication by the new Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, who said while on a familiarization tour of the Nigerian Railway Corporation as follows

“in fact, I think we have a problem; most people don’t believe that the railway transport is functioning in Nigeria. I didn’t even know, until I started this tour, I never knew that the railway was functioning, it was even from his (MD’s) speech that I learnt that there are some coaches or services that go to Kano or Port Harcourt or elsewhere. So we need to make people become more aware that the narrow gauge is working, and that people can still use it to travel around that country.”

Now, Honourable Minister Lai Mohammed, who do we blame for this remarkable progress in our rail sector? Let me end this letter to you with a quote from best selling author, Dr. Steve Maraboli:

“It’s time to care; it’s time to take responsibility; it’s time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest self; it’s time to stop blaming others.”

Thank you and be assured of my continued loyalty and support to the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Regards,

Reno.

May 21: Sai Buhari!!!

dikeigbo2:
You spoke well brother ehissi, but I totally disagree with you, it's not government alone to engage people, some wealthy individuals can also, ....I didn't say they shall be dashing out money to people, let them engage people into meaningful trade or skills, it's more honourable to work and earn wages, establishing churches/ building world class Church and mosques is also good ,but does it solve the problems at hand? Answer No..remember that bad policies breeds corruption both in government and private establishments, ........these youths we fail to engage today will turn to hunt us tomorrow, both the lowly and the mighty....practicalise your Christian life..Thank you

The point being, as much as it is good for seemingly wealthy Nigerians to engage youths positively, its not his Job!! He is not voted in or mandate by a legislative system to do this. Its a matter of choice, of which one begins to wonder what your definition of engaging youths mean!!

If your definition of engaging Nigeria youth means "he should not build this structure" na U know!! But if you are a member or are an active participator in his ministries activities then I doubt you will comment in such a fashion!! What could be more positively engaging than what he is doing??

There are those who will argue that he does it because it is profitable; well devote a portion of your time to study where he is coming from and you will see that when he devoted his life to the course he now pursues, Pastors where by Nature poor and nobody really Pastored fulltime except you were with the catholic church and even them too made paupers out of the Holy clergy, leaving only your most basic needs as their priority being food and shelter!!

My point, he should be encouraged to continue to do exactly what God leads/called him to do even when we can't see the benefit; provided he has broken no law!!

And before you say/imply that he hasn't positively engaged youths, undertake a study of the man and his ministry and you will gain a better understanding on the focus of his life's work!!

A smart man once told me "In life, as with sports, If you find yourself constantly tackled; its probably because you have the ball"!!

IS IT BECAUSE IT IS BUHARI?

I marvel at the way and manner we think in this country, worst of it the way we think in the north.

It is just a few months ago that we all continually lambasted president Jonathan's cluelessness, I referred to him as the "drunken master of Otuoke", and nobody harassed me, and now because they fear the power of the media that brought them to power they want to castrate the social media, with Buhari firing the first shot in an interview with Sahara reporters' Adeola in New York, why, is it because it is Buhari?

We demonstrated against pump price increment for petrol, government of president Buhari wants us to swallow the same pill we rejected a few months ago, yet some of my northern compatriots see nothing wrong with that, is it because it is Buhari?

When three sons of Sheik Zakzaky were murdered during the Jonathan administration, El-Rufa'i called it genocide by the jonathanian army, now under Buhari more than 200 are killed, their mosque and houses destroyed under Elrufai's nose as Governor of the same state, he has not called it genocide by the Buharian army, is it because it is Buhari?

Under the Jonathan administration subsidy payments were termed as fraud, and there were hues and cries to crucify oil marketers, Buhari even called it a fraud himself, we also thought so, Six months later the same Buhari is paying for subsidy yet nobody is calling it a fraud, why, is it because it is Buhari?

We criticized Jonathan for keeping a large fleet in the presidential fleet and wasting monies on maintenance, only recently President Buhari's spokesman admitted 2 billion Naira was spent on their maintenance, when other presidents are even doing away with their jets, yet we sit down and watch helplessly, is it because it Buhari?

Fuel scarcity is biting harder, value of the Naira is going rock bottom, inflation is now on auto pilot, while profits are dropping, purchasing powers are becoming weaker, yet we are asked not to query them, is it because it is Buhari?

If we criticized Jonathan for cluelessness, we will also criticize Buhari for helplessness. While tribal and regional jingoist see nothing because it is Buhari, what I see first is Nigeria and not whether Jonathan is a southerner or Buhari is a Northerner.

We cannot continue to be trapped in the closet of tribalism, regionalism and religious bigotry yet expect our country to remain one and grow. Yes! we might be of different orientation and background but what is good is good any where any time and what is bad is bad, I cannot be suffering and keep smiling because "my brother" is the president.

dikeigbo2:
I just generalized my comment,be Christian, Moslem or otherwise ,,so don't get it twisted ..let them get people gainfully engaged and see as many vices will disappear ..thank you

Its the Job of the government to engage people gainfully as well as to deal with vices and the last I checked, Oyedepo, as influential as he is, is not the government!! In any case, attending a Church/Ministry is by choice and not by force.

People always tend to judge by apperances and bias in their personal affairs and its ok!! But its error to do so, especially when seemingly spiritual matters are discussed or debated!!

When Oyedepo set out to build Shiloh at Ota in the middle of nowhere in the bush; a good bunch of preachers whom he told felt he was mad - I mean whom do you expect to follow you to this God forsaken wilderness? Where will the loan or money come from? - but Oyedepo kept insisting that he was sent/asked by God to do it!! And today, nobody even remembers how that part of idiroko were shiloh is, was before oyedepo got there!!

Oyedepo will not do what you feel is right or beneficial to help Nigeria or Nigerians, he will/should do what God sent him to do and how God sent him to do it!! Period! At least that is my prayer for him.

Think about it? Jesus raised the dead, healed the sick, fed hungry people!! What did people think would be beneficial to Israel for Jesus to do then??

Some asked for a sign - as though a sign was required for one to do good to others - some asked why he dared to what he did and demanded to know on whose authority he did those good deeds of His, some insisted that he must be made King of Israel so that he could enforce deliverance as a matter of law and government to save the people!!

But what did God send Jesus to do? Become a living sacrifice to bear the sins of a stubborn and vile generation via cruxifiction!!

By appearances and bias, is that useful to the sick or the hungry who need food or the dead who need to be raised or the naked who need to be clothed? How useful is a dead Jesus to Israel? That is for God to know and for you - man - to find out!!

If you have ever read the last books of the gospels, you will know that as powerful and glorious and necessary as Jesus's ministry and death was, the apostles didn't believe his death was necessary, even Peter rebuke Jesus for saying he would die; and what was Jesus's response?

Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that of God, but those that be of men!!!

None of Jesus's apostles believed his death was necessary, until he resurrected and taught them again, things he already taught them before he was crucified - the last books of Matthew, Mark, luke and John are my witnesses.

There will be those who can't relate my illustration and ensamples with the topic on this thread!! A question or two should make it plain; if God, by whose grace and glory and power that oyedepo has built that ministry asks Oyedepo to build that auditorium, should he refuse on the basis that you/he doesn't think it beneficial?? Based on antecedence, do you think Oyedepo has been successful so far because he chose to do what another man thinks is beneficial or what God thinks is beneficial?? Does building such an auditorium hold any benefit whatsoever to the community where the auditorium will be built?? In this particular case, as with shiloh, Did God send Oyedepo to build this auditorium??

I don't claim to have all the correct answers but God does; and any Christian, whose eyes are on God should have no trouble asking God for wisdom if you truly have a passion for engaging youths/people as Oyedepo is passionate about what he claims God called him to do.

What kind of poverty is beating that babe in the UK that has made her so foolish??

So if Dangote or P-Square or Wizkid or 2face or Michael Obaro or Wale Ojo or Don Jazzy or Linda Ikeji or Banky W go there and buy the Champagne they should be jailed for it because some people are living in IDP's in Nigeria?

Are they not homeless britons or americans on the street? Did the Homeless americans living on the streets have anything to do with why Jennifer Lopez does not qualify for over $1.2million engagement diamond ring - which she even accidentally flushed down a sink - once upon a time?

Or does the fact that people couldn't afford some decent healthcare at a time in the US in the absence of Obamacare automatically disqualify Beyonce from collecting a $5million dollar ring from a Kneeling-down-lover-boy in the person of Jay-Z?? Of which na Jay-Z company na e get the champagne!!

Has the level of bankruptcy that hit detroit to the point that the mayor had to withdraw essential services and basic utilities like water automatically ban mayweather from buying and driving a Koenigsegg CCXR - the most expensive car in the world - $4.8million and the only copy of that car in the US - of which there are only 2 copies of that car in the world and Mayweather is the only black man to own such a car!!

Is everybody in or from Nigeria who is rich now a thief?

So because some Mumu people cannot draw the line between Right and wrong in the course of their religious zeal and start killing themselves with suicide bombers and are now living in IDP, I am now automatically banned from drinking champagne with money that I work for; because your name is what!!?? Iranu!!

Rubbish!!

It is not your faulting you hear, it not your faulting at all; na people like una whey use one poor mumu London boi whey never see nyash before, whey God go soon punish for the ectasy pills whey e dey swallow, collect stay for UK through marriage, come divorce after U born for am dey collect alimony!!

Dey there dey yarn opata!! Wetin even carry you go selfridges?? Wetin even carry your eye go that particular bottle of champagne?? No go hustle Oooh; dey there dey run my Country down, with your smelling mouth!!

Make baba God bless the enterprise of my hands, make my containers clear finish, make I order my bottle of champagne on my Birthday; if you like, follow Oba of Lagos advise go drown for Lagos Lagoon!!

Nonsense walking waste of oxygen!!

modath:
1. Admiration & respect are relative terms,one man's meat they say...

2. I do not say what I don't know or what I have no plans of fulfilling..... Let's do it in the open, show it here for everyone to see & the payment will be made publicly as well...

BTW, Volks doesn't count & it's cos I forgot to add it initially, (didn't bail, twas an ommission & when we are talking about assembly, we are not talking about pictures of finished cars, it is the carcass & the step by step ops of the "plants"... if I need address, I have access to Google just like you do.

Also quit that feigned air of superiority, even countries that we borrowed out democracy . Civilization from do propaganda, it is a part of life & politics.... Propaganda can be good/bad, progressive or destructive, it depends on the context of use, so get off that high horse, even you are so full of admiration for have clay feet, so you the adherent should chillax..



I am not an a fan of political parties but political figures..

Hahahahahahahah....Looooool!!

Why na, are you and volkswagen quarrelling??

Ok; Does Nissan, Kia and Hyundai count??

Plus I would prefer a Mod to be an Umpire @20k a plant!!

modath:
For every address/location of said plants (minus Innoson, Honda & Peugeot) where the propaganda vehicles are being assembled in Nigeria, 20k

Deal?.m

Innoson needs no story. Honda & Peugeot unilaterally made the decision to return to NIgeria cos they've always owned plants here (not 100% sure they've even fully begun Ops), the rest are just "setting to launch" , while enjoying the tax break & as is common with our ways, no one is calling them to question...

& it's quite possible to disagree with someone's opinion without insulting the person...

The same goes for people who post comments that are insultive in Nature against public figures who bear the respect and admiration of average Nigerians especially when traces of misinformation or the lack of information seems to characterize their opinions.

In a public fora like Nairaland, you demand equity, then come clean with equity at least as far as what may be tagged "insults" may go!!

As for the Manufacturing Plants are concerned, one will have to be that nonchalant or just totally unaware about the macro-economic affairs of this country to consider them as propaganda, I don't believe you are that serious, especially when such info can easily be assessed through google!!

But if you insist on blessing me with cash!!
Then it means at least my #40,000 is secure; send an email address where I can send my account details, expecting alerts, and you will get full address of these plants!!

If you are double serious, and can send airtime of my choice, I will personally book an appointment for you to access assembly lines of both Volkswagen and Nissan as well as access to vehicles that have actually been assembled on Nigerian soil!!

I am not an APC member/fan and I don't deal in propaganda!!

Cheers!

Godwin10123:
My good Friend let's be realistic those senator will not settle for nigeria assembed SUVs besides govt should be cutting down on expenses.

Not true! Infact it is on record, that the federal government had issued a policy directive that mandated that only vehicles "Made in Nigeria" were to be purchased by the federal government!!

Whether General Muhammadu Buhari will continue with this policy is any and everybodies guess; considering that he has lifted the import ban on rice now, driving unfavourable competition between local rice producers and foreign ones - a legacy of Fmr Minister of Agriculture in the Jonathan Administration and Current MD/CEO of AfDB Dr Akinkunmi Adesina !!

If you have to ask; the you probably shouldn't buy it!!

Professor of Common Sense speaking, hope the proposed SUVs for the senators has been cancelled. It also contributes the falling of naira because Nigeria do not manufacture SUVs.

My Good man, have you ever heard of Innoson motors? Or the fact that companies like honda now have assembly plants in Nigeria where some of their flagship brands like Accord and civic are assembled?? Even pegeout, Volkswagen, Kia,Hyundai and Nissan as well do same!!

Its good to be informed oh; that way you can make sense of commonsense; don't you think??

Who E help??

I want to believe that is the work of Photoshop but if it isn't then Nigeria should be on red-alert!!

Only a fool will underestimate Iran; I believe it was General Gabriel Azazi (Former NSA) who through intelligence tip-off intercepted a large shipment of arms from Iran sent to Nigeria courtesy Iranian Intelligence meant for Islamist on african soil!!

That country has a history of Sponsoring and aiding terrorist groups and such a threat/comment should be given the priority it deserves!!!

If u shit na tinubu,if u late for work na tinubu.


TINUBU WILL ALWAYS MAKE NAME WE OTHERS ARE STRUGGLING.

Let me assume that you are a novice as far as politics in Lagos is concerned or better yet let me assume you don't live in lagos!!

Tinubu's adopted mother was former Iyaloja of lagos, after her death, with lobbying from Tinubu et al. Tinubu daughter - who isn't a career politician or someone to be reckoned with in Lagos Markets as far as I know - miraculously became iyaloja!!

The battle for the heart and soul of markets in lagos - most especially markets dominated by Igbo traders - is one that goes on in the background!!

It is on record, that when the last National population census was held in Nigeria, during the Obasanjo administration, Lagos state was ranked as the second most populous state in Nigeria after Kano!! A development that didn't go down well with the then Governor Tinubu, who organised his own state census which crowned Lagos state as the most populous state in Lagos!!

After the Lagos state population census; it was observed that demographically, there exist more persons of eastern descent in Lagos than of western descent (infact, according to findings from that exercise, exactly 52% of people enumerated in the Lagos census are from the east)!!

Since then, Senator Bola ahmed Tinubu, as a matter of strategy, created a policy within his party in lagos (then it was the ACN now turned APC) that gave room for one person from the east to feature in the ministerial cabinent appointment in Lagos state!!

Also, encouraging the creation of a youth wing within the party which must have a representative from the east as well as the creation of an Igbo/Eastern caucus within the APC as a party are some of the ways, that the "Easterners" are lobbied/checked!! Also, a close tab is kept on all markets activities and meetings, specifically markets that have a strong igbo/eastern presence!!

Proof of relevance of the Easterners in tipping the political scales can easily be noticed in the violent threat of the Oba of Lagos, Oba Akiolu, who warned igbo's against voting against Ambode in the last gubernatorial elections; rumour has it that Jimi Agbaje went to the east to have close door meetings with traditional rulers in a bid to use them to lobby their kinsmen trading in Lagos, a moved frowned upon by Oba Akiolu which resulted in his threat to make lagos unbearable for igbo if they voted against Ambode as well as raining curses that they - Igbo's - would drown in the lagoon if they voted Jimi agbaje into power!!

For clearance of doubt, the Hausa community - which is traditionally islamic - exists and flow freely with Oba but only igbos where threatened!! Think about it!!

Don't be surprised if at the end of the day, no fracas exists!! Within Most markets in the Oshodi/Ojo; the PDP has a strong following which accounts for some of the frequent and unannounced visits of taskforces to those areas!! In computer village in Ikeja, APC/PDP following is 60/40, in favour of APC as at now!!

So if Iyaloja is pushing any agenda in the markets, it is likely - not necessarily certain - that Daddy Tinubu is pulling strings!! Afterall, she is Iyaloja of the markets, why not approach heads of the entire market, instead of targeting registered "Independent" Unions which forms just a section within the market; if really she has not political motives under her sleeve??

I be wan type one long analysis of this scenario, talk about politics of hatred and bitterness and ethnicity! But before this thing go turn to #Ehissigate.........

Only someone whose craze has reached gigantic proportions will see comment like this and find fault with it: why buy the Senator a hamper that he will probably dash out, that he can easily afford, when you can easily save the cash and pay Salaries!!

Or better still, send to INternally displaced persons running away from conflict in the North east!

I thought maybe Governor would have approached the camps - like the one in Edo state - and do charity donations dia, instead of looking for caro up and down with escort! Jumping from one island to another looking for oyinbo to marry

By Femi Aribisala

I WALKED into the east wing of The Palms shopping mall in Lekki, Lagos (popularly referred to as Shoprite); only to be buttoned-holed by a man trying to sell me a Honda Civic parked inside the hall. His sales pitch was that it was the first totally assembled Honda in Nigeria; built completely to Nigerian specifications.

For example, unlike the classical Honda, the Nigeria model has a high clearance, being mindful of the potholes in Nigerian roads.

I had no intention of buying a new car, least of all a Honda Accord. Nevertheless, I could not fail to recognise that what he was touting is one of the many achievements of the Jonathan administration. In spite of the Buhari administration’s daily vilification of Jonathan, the achievements of his government continue to speak for themselves.

Jonathan put in place a policy that provided zero import-duty for completely knocked down vehicles; while discouraging the importation of already assembled cars; old or brand new, by the imposition of heavy import-duties. This propelled car manufacturers to set up assembly-plants in Nigeria that provide jobs for craftsmen, technicians, technologists, engineers, and other professionals across the value chain. The government also made it a policy to patronize locally-made and assembled cars.

The outcome is that local car-assembly is back in Nigeria; literally risen from the dead. Big auto giants, including Peugeot, Nissan, Volkswagen, Kia, Hyundai and apparently Honda, now either assemble, or entirely manufacture, their cars, SUVs, trucks and buses at various locations in Nigeria.  In addition, Nigeria now has an indigenous car-manufacturing company, Innoson, which is not only selling locally but already dabbling in exports.

Limits of  denigration

These days, the most discernible policy of the new APC government is to attack everything Jonathan. However, propaganda can only mask the truth in the short-term.  It cannot destroy the truth in the medium to long-term. No matter what APC traducers say, the fact remains that Goodluck Jonathan was an exceptional president by Nigerian standards.

Now is the time to re-affirm this and to invite a more dispassionate reappraisal of the facts, away from the lies and fabrications of the election campaign. It can no longer be argued today that anyone defending Jonathan is a PDP contractor; a favourite line of defence of Buharimaniacs. Neither can Jonathan defenders be accused any longer of wanting to replace Reuben Abati as the president’s spokesman. “You can do nothing against the truth but for the truth.” No matter what the APC continues to broadcast about the Jonathan administration, the truth cannot be silenced.

Fashola’s gaffe:

After six months of stasis, Buhari finally unfurled his ministers in the most anti-climatic fashion. These long-awaited saints and angels turned out to be mostly Santa Claus.

Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos State, is now the minister of Power, Works and Housing. At his maiden news conference, tagged grandiloquently: “Setting the Agenda for Delivering Change,” the same Fashola who spent the election campaign running down the Jonathan administration shocked his audience by revealing that, rather than embark on new road construction projects in 2016, he would only endeavour to build on Jonathan’s achievements.

Wittingly or unwittingly, Fashola gave the lie to APC propaganda that Jonathan’s years were wasted years? If Jonathan was as incompetent as the APC would have us believe, why could the party not launch its own superior nationwide road-building plan, as Buhari had promised in the heady days of the 2015 election campaign? Why rely on allegedly sub-standard PDP foundations?

Similarly, rather than jettison Jonathan’s power-sector reforms that APC derided volubly during the campaign, Fashola revealed that the government will be continuing with them. Jonathan completed 10 power-plants in Nigeria within three years; the first and highest of such record by any Nigerian president living or dead. The APC had accused Jonathan of awarding the power projects to PDP cronies and financiers who are incompetent and deficient. But rather than revoke those contracts, Fashola preached continuity. He also admitted that Jonathan‘s transformation in the power sector is above 50%, and that his job would be to build on this achievement.

Jonathan’s transformation  agenda

Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, also had the same assessment of Jonathan’s achievements with regard to rail transportation. He pledged to complete all ongoing rail-restoration projects around the country started by Jonathan; as well as extend them to all parts of the country.
Jonathan inaugurated the Lagos-Kano rail line and the Port Harcourt-Enugu mass transit train. 

He also embarked on the rehabilitation of the Port Harcourt-Maiduguri rail line.  Furthermore, Jonathan’s projects include the Abuja-Kaduna fast train line; the 322km Lagos-Benin City line, 500km Benin-Abakiliki line, 673km Benin-Obudu Cattle Ranch line, 615km Lagos-Abuja high speed line, 520km Zaria-Birnin- Koni line, 533km Ega nyi-Otukpo and the Ega nyi-Abuja line.

Thanks to Jonathan, five million Nigerians are now carried by rail, relative to the one million before he came. An estimated 700,000 passengers are projected to ride the Abuja Light Rail (ALR) on a daily basis.  Only recently, KPMG listed Nigeria’s high speed rail project proposed by the Jonathan administration as one of the global top 100 world-class infrastructures. 

The rail is expected to connect Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Warri, Bauchi, Abuja and Port Harcourt; at a cost of $13 billion.
For his part, Audu Ogbeh, the new Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, did not even pretend to have an alternative to Jonathan’s Transformation Agenda.  Speaking at the launching of the Anchor Borrowers Programme in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State, Ogbe commended Jonathan’s achievements in agriculture, while also praising his ministerial predecessor for the innovations he introduced.

Thanks to Jonathan, agriculture now accounts for 22 per cent of Nigeria’s GDP, more than oil and gas which only account for 15.9 per cent. Under Jonathan, Nigeria recorded a more than 50 per cent reduction in food imports; from an import bill of N1.4 trillion to less than N700 billion.  With the innovation of dry season rice-farming, Nigeria reached 60% self-sufficiency in rice production and became, according to the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO), the largest producer of cassava in the world.

Anti-corruption  hypocrisy

Rather than hit the ground running, the in-coming Buhari administration has spent the last six months on a campaign against Jonathan and his men, as if it is still shopping for Nigerian votes. 

This campaign has become a substitute for policy, leading to the conclusion that the APC never really expected to win the election and therefore does not know what to do now it has been declared the winner.  What the party did during the election campaign was present pie-in-the-sky policies that were never intended to be implemented but were primarily designed to harvest votes.

This accounts for the government’s current embarrassment with its own party manifesto and the denial of its campaign promises.  It has even led to APC legislators being constrained to vote against their own policy; the payment of N5000 monthly to the 25 million poorest Nigerians. In six months, the much-touted change of the APC has turned out to be counterfeit. What we have instead is a constant barrage of media trials pertaining to the alleged corruption of the Jonathan administration.

This anti-corruption crusade is clearly not addressed at curtailing corruption. Its primary objective is to kill and bury the PDP.  Not even the most ardent supporters of Jonathan would insist that there was not rampant corruption under the PDP.  What is unacceptable is the present government’s pretence that corruption in Nigeria is restricted to the PDP when, as a matter of fact, the APC is just as corrupt, if not even more because of its blatant hypocrisy.

The government’s anti-corruption crusade is already without legitimacy because it is unashamedly partial and selective.  Allegations made against APC office-holders are procedurally ignored by the government’s anti-corruption watchdogs.  Some of the APC chieftains accused of corruption have even been rewarded with major ministerial portfolios.  Others have been nominated as APC candidates in governorship elections.

PDP members are labelled corrupt until they declare for the APC; then they automatically become saints. We are meant to believe that while the PDP used government funds to buy favours and votes during the election campaign, APC managed to spend massively to dislodge the PDP from power without doing the same. The truth of the matter is that corruption is not the exclusive preserve of any party or persons. 

Corruption is endemic to the Nigerian political system.
Selective maligning of the members of the former government will not rid Nigeria of corruption. Neither will allegations of corruption hurriedly put together for the sake of public consumption, which are then thrown out by the courts.  Corruption has to be addressed systemically and structurally.  But to date, there is little evidence that the government’s anti-corruption intentions go beyond the witch-hunting of the Jonathan administration.

Jonathan’s  legacies

To the extent that the present administration can be said to have any policies after six months in office, they are all legacies of the Jonathan administration. The TSA is from Jonathan. The turn-around maintenance of our refineries is from Jonathan. The re-equipping of our military is from Jonathan.  The improvement in electricity is a Jonathan legacy. On the other hand, the major policies enunciated in the APC election manifesto remain essentially pipe-dreams.

In spite of APC propaganda, Jonathan’s men keep matching on. Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina, Jonathan’s Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development  is now President of the Africa Development Bank (AfDB).  Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Jonathan’s Minister of Finance, and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, is now a Senior Adviser at Lazzard; a prestigious 167 year-old global investment firm.  Arunma Otteh, Jonathan’s Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), is now a Vice-President of the World Bank.

To paraphrase Marc Antony of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interrèd with their bones. So let it be with Jonathan. The noble APC hath told you Jonathan was clueless. If it were so, it was a grievous fault, and grievously hath Jonathan answered it.”

A good look at the video shows breach of Nigerian law; whether you like it or not a lawless leader cannot fight corruption or any form of lawlessness for that matter!! What make a country a democracy is not just social freedoms but freedoms guaranteed by law; the moment the law guarantees nothing, it is a dictatorship!!

First and foremost, why did the people come plain clothed?? One would have expected that they would have come with crested/labelled vests - just like the one they use to lead Dokpesi in court, red labelled EFCC or Black labelled SSS or DSS - but because they know what they are about to do is illegal, they came plain clothed without vests!!

If they wanted to arrest the Ex-DG - properly and in accordance with Nigerian Law - all they needed to do was walk up to him, identify themselves and arrest him and state the reason for his arrest!!

The lawyer said men believed to be SSS - proof that they refused to properly identify themselves because they have no basis to carry out that arrest!! I also watched this on channels TV and nowhere was an attempt made by the men to identify themselves or properly arrest him!!

As a citizen of this dear country, resisting arrest is a crime; but so is abduction - or illegal/abusive arrest - the EFCC and SSS are more or less under the control of the presidency and a good look at Buhari's past record in government in the 80's is a bad sign!!

If Buhari & Osibanjo are smart, they will quickly condemn this act and order for a change of such actions otherwise, they will just end-up making a mess of this country!!

That incident was shown on channels TV, which airs on at least 3 continent!! That's will adversely affect our image, image misconstrued by foreign investors that he is busy junketing about the country to find!

God help Nigeria.............

hammariise:
I just ask him a question, as a politician and a public servant rather than to answer my question then he just blocked me, and I think it was not fair at all

Adamu like you; you nor see as you embarass yaself!! U for go block am, ask am the question face to face naaah whether E security detail no use slap reset ya brain!!

Use twitter to engage Senator Bruce to ask him germaine questions like ; what is the driving force or thrust of his constant criticism against the APC government?? What policy framework do you think the government of the should put in place soncerning the current state of the economy?? What is your take on the dasuki probe?

Instead you go give am insult, E don block you now na nairaland U come dey cry; na excess promo MB dey do you!!

ihatesycophant:
It would have been an honest response if he doesn't grandstand. He's quick to abuse and advise the ruling party but also quick to support his party and individuals in his party. With the revelations of Dasuki, Yuguda, Bafarawa and Dokpesi I expected him to have advise his party and talk sense to their head as he always profess in his twitter handle as a senator with "common sense". These are all revelations from his party men not from APC, how money meant for security exchanged hands for the general elections. We were also told who authorised them to disbursed the money to individuals of the party. Let him continue grandstanding, hope you will not say witch hunt when the may issue crop up?
She's the Finance and Coordinating Minister of the economy and she need to take responsibility of what went wrong under her, just has she helped to pay our debt with Paris.

This is what I don't understand with people!!
They are ruled by diverse passions & sentiments & party affiliations & refuse to allow common, commonsense to reign!!

For most of the time, most of the sources of news on this issue of Dasuki have been coming from diverse mini/micro-website or blogging sites (the same set of site abuzz with fake news/gossip and used during just concluded elections to hold scandalous news headlines, from trained snipers, to bribing of judges to stop buhari, from patience jonathan into oil bunkering and many more)!!

So I don't even pay them attention; most especially when I see that official and reliable news sources, the likes of punch, vanguard, guardian, NTA, Channels TV, TVC, not even ordinary premium times (which I don't really trust) report such scandalous hoopla!!

I have asked some folks this question with no reasonable answer!! I will ask again!

1.) Is NSA officially responsible for buying arms in this country for the Nigerian military or is it not meant to be handled by office of the Chief of Defence staff - who actually provides the budget proposal of arms required - via the Ministry of Defence!!??

For NSA to be involved, then you will know that the arms were probably purchased through unofficial or illegal channels, requiring some form of intelligence & some covert "behind-the-scenes-hand-shaking"; because craze people in opposition abused social media and use freedom of speech to paint the government of the day as a "genocidal" machine, using arms/military to oppress innocent civilians in the North in the name of war against boko haram, training snipers to stop the mouth of opposition, showing signs of refusing to handover; much of which, forced various developed countries to stop selling arms to the Nigeria government under various legal codes and torts!!

Did GEJ create a media bill to muzzle the press, no!!

Instead, NSA was involved!!

My next question

2.) Since we know that the arms deal was illegal & a measure to deal with a diplomatic situation; is there a legal way to do an illegal thing??

3.) What is the due process for buying arms through unofficial/illegal channels!!

4.) Is it sensible/senseless to launder money through or with people when performing an illegal arms deal??

5.) Did the arms sought for via the deal arrive? Were the arms even received in the first place??

6.) Considering that it was done via the NSA; meaning some measure of intelligence was required to buy these arms, isn't it counter-productive for EFCC to be running open probe for a possibly covert Op!!

7.) What was wrong with Directorate of Military Intelligence running the probe/investigations or even SSS instead of EFCC!!?

8.) What will be the view of our potential intelligence sources or partners - who may or may not have been involved in the arms deal - when the same Nigeria government comes and asks for support to tackle terrorism next time!!??

Most folks, in the war against ISIS - notice I didn't say Boko-Haram because ISIS has already touched down on Nigeria soil, in case you are still a learner go and collect ya learner permit - don't realise how vital NSA office is!

ISIS already makes as much as $1.5million daily in illegal oil sales from oilfields and gas fields in syria and iraq; the average salary of an ISIS commander being $1,200 monthly - thats just $250 shy of the salary of a Major in the Nigerian army and that is a senior officer - and an ordinary ISIS soldier's salary $320 - thats the exact salary of a Corporal in the Nigeria army!!

Considering the high levels of illiteracy and youth employment, most especially in the North, ISIS in Nigeria should be causing a panic attack, assuming the government of the day is even focused and has its priorities straight!!

Under the guidance former NSA, Gen Gabriel Azazi, a shipment of arms sponsored by iranian intelligence was intercepted in Nigeria's ports suspected to be heading to islamist on african soil!! Intelligence that was gotten from probably sources abroad like langley for instance!!

Even if Buhari wanted to launch a probe; I expected a behind the scenes investigation!
With the following mandate below!!

1.) Did we get the package, the arms!!??
2.) What was the role played by all those in the deal!!??
3.) Who had to get their hands dirty and are those folks valuable or expendable assets!!??
4.) What were the miscellaneous cost behind deal - people that had to be sorted, folks who had to launder, people who offered information for cash etc.
5.) How do we avoid finding ourselves in a place where open, free and legitimate arms transactions are hindered!!??

That's all!!

Nkonjo iweala is a brilliant economist, a sesaoned technocrat at macro-economics who has distinguished herself time and again!! It is not in her area of specialty to be gauging arms deal and asking what, where and why we are buying arms through NSA or Chief of defence or Ministry of defence!!

If money is released from Ministry of Finance, the issue is simple, did such a release go through due process, yes or no!!

I am happy that the memo/letter shows that there was a meeting chaired by Mr President to send 50% of the abacha loot to the SWF, sovereign wealth fund, which is meant for savings, which GEJ was accused of not doing!! God is vindicating him gently!!

The other 50% was to be used for counter-terrorism related expenditure!!

I have only one question to ask Oshiomole and his bedfellows that see nothing wrong in using civil servants salary to go and marry oyibo Cape verde from Obodo south africa!!!

Did the release of funds from the Ministry of Finance follow due process; Yes or No!!

Whether it was used to fund Nairaland Operations oooh; or it used to fund linda ikeji or it was used to 2015 elections or it was used to fund Buhari's foreign trip is immaterial!!

Was the money released via due process! Yes or No!!??

If yes, why must she be held accountable for money spent outside the purview of Ministry of Finance??

If no, what relevant section of the laws was breached by that release of funds, based on those breaches, prepare her charge sheet and prosecute her appropriately; instead of Persecuting her with a meaningless Media trial that won't bring our girls back - either the 200 chibok or the fresh 107 picked-up recently!!
Neither will such media trial make #1 equal $1 dollar nor stabilise oil prices worldwide!!

Chikena!!
