₦airaland Forum

You may not agree with OP because his post seem to paint Rochas as the angel imolites never knew which the known devil is preferable.. The position taken here is not strange... Rochas belonged to the old bred Nigerian elites with their greedy and self seeking ideology.. From the events of the election I knew IMO people have given in to deception owing to many factors
1. Non performance of Ohakim
2. Religious sentiments
3.Disunited PDP
It ll be too early to judge Rochas but for sure judging by the rate of his propaganda and rush to establish himself in the hearts of the people, he may likely crash... Politics of vendetta, propaganda and cheap political points ll only last but for a moment before the truth is made known.
This brings to the fore my grouse with major political parties in Nigeria, ACN in particular.. You CRITICISE PDP but you are not telling us how you can act differently if you were in the said privileged position. Do they( opposition ) have any internally binding manifesto?
It is normal that the few opposition parties in power work to outshine PDP in order to endear themselves in the hearts of Nigerians but folks like me are not deceived by such cosmetics.. I have followed the antecedents of major players in Nigerian polity and have realized the level of hypocrisy as with them(ACN in particular).. How well are the govs of opposition party fairing in the various states with the exception of Oshomohle and Rochas( stil to early to judge) and Fashola ( Nigerians shd remember that Lagos had a very solid and robust economic framework and no administrator had failed in Lagos, meaning that Lagos was long developed)..
My take is that Nigerians should understand what the wise already knew, that the problem of Nigeria is not association or political party based but individuals.. We Nigerians have a fundamental problem which has to do with our pysche. Why the best critics of govt will turn armed bandit if empowered by to the corridors of power, why Asiwaju Tinubu could become an emperor over all ACN governed states and convert Lagos revenue agencies to his personal firms and contracts for construction works in Lagos to his associate companies etc, why Lai Mohammed will never declare his assets before and after his tenure as a commissioner, why Oyo state house of assembly members wife will spend several hundreds of millions of tax payers money to organize a conference in london on how to protect their husbands from hungry Ibadan babes, why Tinubu will deny a vocal and competent senator a ticket to enthrone his wife whom so far has never raised or supported a motion rather her duty is to warm the seat and mark present, why Buhari has no Other manifesto but corrupt irruption. Corruption is a big problem no doubt but has Buhari told us how he will fight tis hydra headed corruption? Is corruption the only problem facing Nigeria? How about employment creation, laying of new economic fame work for a prosperous nation where majority will be satisfied? Mayb Buhari ll adopt the JJ Rowlings style of exterminating all past political appointees in a democratic govt. does Buhari thinks he's coming back as a military heads of state? These are qtns my fellow country men have refused to ask or think out.. We mean well for our country, our people and the progeny that ll come after us but the journey to a saner society we craved for will take a gradual process as we are seeing with GEJ.. in this admin. sparkling revelations are being made, new economic frameworks are being lied, policies are being tightened and Nigerians are being more informed about governance, standard of living is being improved and our economy is growing by all standard and indices... All are problems may not be solved now but the ball is set rolling.
On this note and many which timeand strength will fail me to mention I still stand to say in PDP I believe( not becos they have done very well but because they acknowledge this weakness and are ready to continually build on it to be a better political party to meet the aspiration and fulfill the Nigerian dream in particular and the African dream in general)6 and GEJ a reformer who ll surely succeed before 2015 expires....

bilms: BEHOLD THE FACE OF A BLOODY OLD WOMAN LAIR (OKONJO IWUALA) Jasper
In her move to lie to Nigerians and deceive them as usual, she claimed that the budget has been implemented to 56%. Now she has retracted the statement upon interrogation and has given the actual implementation to 12.6%. Imagine the gap from 12.6% to 56%. I remembered i reacted immediately she made that claimed in a post "Budget implementation by mouth; Since they cant implement the budget, they have resorted to do it by mouth" Okonjo iwuala could not even stand to face her lie as she sent representatives to retract the statement before the senate. I put it to Nigerians that everything that OKonjo iwuala has told you since she entered into government is lies, in fact quantum, bundles, volumes and catalogs of lies. God! I cant stand
my mother lie in public on a broad day light. Were has shame and conscience gone to? Everything Okonjo iwuala said about Subsidy removal is a lie, everything she said about Sovereign national fund is a lie, Everything he said about foreign debt is a lie. NIGERIANS BE WISE. IGNORE OKONJO IWUALA AND ANY STATEMENT FROM HER. It does not exist. Just assume it was a dream. I learnt she took some online reporters to court that they lied against her. what moral standard does a lair have against a lair. I hope she sues me to court and i will help her retire in/with litigation. My heart is in pain that Nigerians are being lied to like children, illiterates and people without understanding. WHEN WILL THIS STOP?

You have exhibited that you never had any home training.. First where were you educated? If you cannot spell the name of your most educated, gorgeous and elegant minister of finance and co-ordinating minister of the economy , a first class Harvard bred economist, a renowned banker and a managing director in world bank for several years her name is spelt NGOZI OKONJO IWEALA.your mother will be eternally grateful to be her house keeper and your sisters her slaves. If you can't stand her pedigree go and hang yourself and end your miserable life or better still join the Boko haram sect for 70 virgins in heaven.. Nitwit

Pukkah: The external debt profile within a year of the Jonathan administration has risen by N1.2 trillion. Where is the evidence?

well said and it's sad but can you convert the said amt to dollars? However , can you tell this forum by how much our external reserve has risen? Minus and add lets tell if we are making remarkable improvement in GDP

hercules07: NOI is not the only reliable source to defend these documents, the ministry is not hers, she has people who are professionals who work there, the lower minister should be able to defend it as well, I do not even see any defense here sef, it is obvious that the budget of 2012 has failed, the budget o, the projects o and the money are all gone down the drain.

pls read your post and think it out properly.. You will see how wrong you are..

chucky234: Guy with a full page easy still could not make a single point,maybe you should try to find out what budget is all about then you will realised the grave danger of not having a budget implemented.

you will never learn.. Things are not often how it sound or seem but at times in the midst of many errors you should see beyond your nose and be dispassionate to see rights...Someone who didn't quite agree with you will never make sense.. This goes beyond sympathy for the GEJ admin which has been under serious treats, a dance innocent people like you are dancing to and being played by the forces who have held this country for long and the greedy opposition who ll do everything possible to rubbish the country not minding the effects on the country..
Budget is a legal document and it's like a law but when the laws of the land which ought be in the interest of the masses are being abused because of lack of checks then the need for caution arise.. Come to the topic, many power brokers have in the time past capitalized on the loop sidedness and rush in releasing funds provided for in the budget to eat the country dry without directing these funds for their exact purpose.. In this case, what use is the said fund? Ngozi O I said she needs time to set a new frame work to help check performance b4 funds are frivolously released this may cause some slight delay in implementation..and mind you money is not the only perimeter to measure budget implementation.. Has this govt done poorer than other admin in budget implementation? Why the rush to fully implement budget 100% just after 4 months of passage? Why is the drama progressive, starting with the lower house now senate is adding its voice..
The ans in my understanding is that the FG is being tight fisted on wrecklessness, why d finance minister is seen as a treat.. Unfortunately and more worrisome, this is coming from majorly people of the same fold politically with the president.. It is no longer business as usual when OBasanjo's threw Ghana must go bags around.
My advice to Nigerians is to stay by their president and finance minister. This war is for the soul and future of this country.. If you are truly sincere in your contributions on this forum, your position will go a long way to prove you being a sincere critic or a paid bigot

This is a sheer over zealousness by the Lagos state govt.. I subscribe to orderliness and obedience to traffic rules but Fashola should knw that Lagos roads can be very difficult to understand especially for strangers and new chauffeurs. What exactly is fashola's aim? To score cheap pointas being the most innovative or what? This is another avenue to impoverish unsuspecting lagosians and enrich his political touts in guise Of LASTMA.. Fashola has never hidden is feelings that his govt is for the rich only... A gov who had on several occasions said that Lagos is not meant for the poor is another dictator in the making.. Nigerians take note!

Good job for nemesis but let the nemesis be uiversal, so that we ll believe that nemesis and not diligence caught up with culprits

GEJ caused it !!

Sensational post to misinform.. The man's name is Rev. David Ugolor, a human right activist and social crusader.. A stunch supporter of Oshomohle anda bossom friend of the late aid.. Pronouncing him guilty is rather precocious... Let's watch events unfold, this could be a frame up as well as he could be guilty. Your post is however to mislead people from a religious angle

maclatunji: In your "brilliance", you fail to realise that the budget is actually an Act of the National Assembly, a law in effect. It is not to be turned to the personal "pocket money" of any government official who determines what percentage of it is to be spent and then scores herself high on the percentage of the budget she spends. Do you guys think you are talking to children or nitwits?

Let me give you an analogy: Ngo is a brilliant student, she wrote English in WEC and this subject is to be written in 3 parts:

1. Objective (30%) 30 marks

2. Theory (40%) 40 marks

3. Oral English (30%) 30 marks.

After writing the 3 papers, Ngo scores the following.

1. Objective- 5marks

2. Theory- 5 marks

3. Oral - 18 marks.

Ngo keeps telling everybody that she passed Oral English with 18/30= 60% of the score in that paper. According to Ngo, this means her pronunciation and English is above average and no one should say she cannnot speak English.

It didn't take Eve a very average classmate of Ngo's much thinking to realise that with only 28% of the total score in three English papers, Ngo has failed English at WEC.

Sycophants, yes-men and apologists, tell us something else- Please!

I can see you are also one of them.. However, time ll tell.. Enjoy your believe

maclatunji: The same thing was said during Obasanjo's tenure with this same Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Oby Ezekwesili making noise about "Due Process".

Maybe countries that have over 90% budget implementation are governed by angels. Some people are trying to defend the indefensible!

With all fairness will you say the duo you mentioned did not help our economy.. They gave the frame work which this administration is trying to consolidate on.. When a technocrat deals with politicians who are used to an old way of doing things it slows you back, making them look stupid... We should be discern full to read the handwriting.. Give her a free hand to operate and see what happens in few years.. On countries with 90% ( wch I doubt but I am aware that USA has got over 80% in d past) budget implementation, check out their profile and see if falsehood and corruption thrives so rampantly in those countries.

maclatunji: A woeful attempt at objectivity. If as Finance Minister and "Coordinating" Minister of the Economy", you tell us that your government has implemented 56% of the budget, it should never be the case that your subordinates and other senior officials in the same government provide documents that completely rubbish that putting actual budget implementation at less than 15% a few days later!

At the very least, NOI doesn't have proper control of her ministry and the finances of Nigeria. We also note that something similar happened during the fuel subsidy probe.

Let's be factual here. This government is disjointed without clear leadership and focus. Even GEJ refers questions about the economy to Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and she is proving not to be in control.

This "He is our son and brother, let us protect him no matter what" mentality is going to kill this country if you people continue to speak and act like this.

My bro I ll be soft with you. I thought you should know what the 56% meant, probably you have been following previous threads on this budget.. The 56% are for projects implemented with the released money not the percentage of the entire budget

The senate is much more reasonable in their argument than the lower thieves.. The deputy senate president from his speech is showing understanding hence calling for dialogue to reconcile various positions. The difficulty in making releases is anchored on the strict measures to avoid wrecklessness in budget execution . The verifications of claims and expenditure will only delay implementation but for a little while. However, this process will give us a better framework for the future. . We should only rant if there are overwhelming evidence that the executive arm are circumventing these funds.. We all love the country and want a smooth execution of the budget however, reasoning and understanding could solve a lot.

Should we continue in the culture of impunity by MDAs , political contractors and stakeholders so that peace could reign in the polity? No.. We Nigerians are the main stimulating factors enhancing corruption in this nation because of the level of ignorant we operate at.. In the past trillions are being released as budgettedbutdo you see any justifiable evidence? The system of corruption has it that the monies were being shared after documentation... The contrary is what Ngozi O I is fighting why these attacks which is not a surprise to me because corruption fights back at it's adversaries.. She's putting in place strict monitoring of funds release and performance and your previous performance qualifies you for more releases.. This will put checks to false claims and save the country of so much money.. The unspent monies go back to govt.. Is this too hard for us to understand... The house of representatives are betraying sentiments cos their entitlements and allowances as well as their excesses were and are being curtailed.. Now the senate has started barking like bulldogs to chicken the executive to their biddings and Nigerians are here on nairaland blind to reasoning and talking all the cock and bull stories... If you are not brave for what is right now you ll never be again..

Demdem: Ngozi's lies is getting more ridiculous by the day. She started this attitude during the subsidy debacle. The house of "thieves" seems to be right afterall.

At the end , we ll know who the liars are? She based her calculation of 56% on released funds..not the entire budget as NASS claimed

gabito4luv: Rev u re ryt 2 say u were framed, but my question is: y u of all d pple in benin?

The man is a human right activist and a social crusader.... Am not holding brief for him, let the police do their job and bring the real culprits to justice

@op, nobody is saying that India has gotten it 100% but they have made a far remarkable improvement in the past 20 yrs.. India is far better than Nigeria in terms of better economic indices and technological advances. Nothwitstanding it has it's numerous goofs.. There are traces of corruption as maybe expected of a country just evolving from the 3rd world with the 2nd largest population... India's all over the world are industrious and innovative and they export the proceeds of the businesses back to their home country which has helped their GDP over the years.. Unlike nigeria which still remained a 3rd world developing country, most of our big wits floats investments in foreign lands because they don't want to be in public scrutiny. Nigeria hasn't made headway in technological advancement or science though our citizens have distinguished themselves in foreign lands which as shown that these deficiencies are not familiar but environment induce and corruption cuts across board here which you and I on this forum will not claim ignorant of.. In all India still stood out more than Nigeria.. But with the right policies as being envisioned by this administration, I have no doubt that we will make headway astronomically.

I wish them well.....

I will dismiss this thread as mere speculation.. If a case of such magnitude is being dropped the public will be furnished with details... The govt is not that dull to goof this way

alaoeri: What are spewing, where 'll the judiciary get order from?

So the judiciary is now taking orders from the executive..are you now derailing our judiciary?

solomonkane: Who is this ill bred son of a skunk? Look at the nonsense you've typed. Don't worry, NURTW have started recruiting, hurry up and join okay, foolish guttersnipe. Your father should have used a condom.

you should be ashamed of yourself.. You are ignobe.. I have been searching twitter and Facebook to corroborate your lies but such I.Ds ddn't match..For your info Agbero no be work.. Hope you knew the fate that befell the LASTMA official that was overran by a bus... Retrace your steps scoundrel.

Gbawe: Another frustrated and uncouth 'laptop' agbero ranting and cursing. My guy, mind you don't overheat your CPU or smash your precious propaganda machine with this your palpable rage.

Curse and swear as much as you want. That will not make fellow adults, far more intelligent and more honest than you will ever be, believe your crap. Your lack of civility is only indicative you are losing the plot over how you 'joined' NL on June 23 2012 with only a mission of deception and sycophancy. You and your co-travellers, like your inept and corrupt messiah, are now failing woefully and frustration is setting in because it is obvious you are not succeeding at convincing anyone to buy into the rancid odour you are packaging as "fresh air".

You are nothing but a failure and I sincerely hope you haven't failed in real life.. In your misery you are busy using your talents to promote a group of rogues who seek power by all means possible.. I don't hate but I abhor your ways...

ubandire: Which facts did solomonkane throw up?or maybe u didn't read my post very well as to know who I refferred to.that mongrel insulted dedeike without addressing the issues raised.Pls I will take this a mistake and instantly demand an apology.

Unreserved apology.. One love brother

solomonkane: Wonders shall never end. So @dedeike, you are now Ebubedike? You have denied your own surname just to cover your rotten tracks, how low will you descend to cover your filth? So Wisdom is no longer your brother right? Filthy son of a filthy scoundrel.

Get the Bleep out of this thread! You son of a bitch! ,assuming you are right with your accusation , how does it affect fact?. We are discussing the obvious lies you concocted and you are deceitfully attempting to distract the forum by going personal.. Have you debunked his points? You fool! .. Assuming your position on his identity is right how does that affect me or his or my philosophy on matters in governance.. He has an identity y you are possibly a son of a nobody.. Get something doing or contact me for help

ubandire: Bastard son of a cheap harlot,which jungle did u just run out from.U descendant of a lineage of whores and scavengers.

Shut up and address issues! You are not ashamed of your miserable self .. You have to be an accomplice to lie all because of desperation.. Am ashamed for you scoundrels.. Prove him wrong, he has defended his points to beyond every ambiguity .. It's good to note that nairalanders are iewingthis thread to see how ignoble you, Gbawe, junkie etc are.. ShhhhMmmeeee!!!!

I think it's high time these 100 member NURTW members drafted by Tinubu to feed Nigerians with lies on activities of govt stopped making contributions on nairaland threads.. The rate at which they expose their shallowness and folly amazes me in disgust... Every follower of events on political threads without predetermined biase will see how inconsistent these haters are. From AIG Imoukhede- purchasing of 200 exotic cars, to this very white lie. What a shame, all in a bideto impress your masters who are only serving their greed.. It's not too late fora rethink.. Slowpokes

dedeike: LWKMD. From laptop squad member to Son of an honorable member, my rank just dey increase on Nairaland. One day, I will be labeled GEJ's younger brother. I' m loving this.

Guy soon you go become the son of David Mark o.. These men are day dreamers and are desperate to drag anybody to the mud.. Ride on brother, haters go hug transformer.... LWKMD

@OP , how could you condescend so low to lie to our responsible and integrity driven Nigerians on a hot afternoon like this? I know you have to impress your paymaster but you don't have resort to cheap blackmail cos you will look most foolish now.. I took time to peruse the achievements the said dedeike listed and Enugu-Portharcourt route isn't among the lists. The roads being massively constructed in the East oneofwhich is almost complete is Onitsha-Enugu and Owerri Portharcourt routes among others.. The said contract for the road you falsely accused dedeike for was awarded recently and some has started though not massive.. Please verify your facts.. This is my problem with some of you.. You mk your propaganda so cheap that you always look stupid in the end. You have ne'er won any debate logically.. The problem is most onlookers ll easily fall your victim cos of the disaffection they have on past Nigerian leaders but the earlier we understand that this admin mean well the better for the country.. In the meantime enjoi the fresh air

As usual, very undemocratic and non- people oriented policy.. If I may ask when will Fashola mk policies that will benefit the already impoverished masses in Lagos.. All these traffic rules or laws are only serving few touts and NURTWS..as well as the political goons who control these revenue agencies.. More money for Tinubu to sponsor anti FG propaganda.. Thumbs up
