KAYODE OGUNDAMISI A BUHARIST WENT TO HIS FACEBOOK PAGE, TO WAIL ABOUT THE 2016 BUDGET. THIS WAS COPY FROM HIS POST

THE OVERHEAD COST OF RUNNING THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT BUHARI AND HIS VICE, PROF. OSHIBAJO IS EMBARRASSINGLY VERY HIGH. THE BREAKDOWN CANNOT BE SUGAR COATED IN ANYWAY. WHAT IS THE POINT IN ASKING MINISTERS AND AGENCIES OF GOVERNMENT TO CUT COST AND YOUR TRAVELS, FEEDING AND IGBALADUN ALLOWANCE ISN'T BETTER THAN THAT OF GOODLUCK JONATHAN AND SAMBO. MORESO A PART OF MORE THAN N6 TRILLION BUDGET IS COMING FROM LOCAL AND EXTERNAL BORROWINGS. APC FALL HAND BIG TIME AND THEY NEED TO BE TOLD TRUTH.

KAYODE OGUNDAMISI

N13.5m for Newspapers and Magazines for one year.

Buhari must be reading Ovation, Orange, Playboy and Hints.

N500M for Chairs. Ministry of ict- Not the construction of the Building itself.

Over 27m Naira for fire extinguishers in the "Presidency"....God will judge you people!!! #BudgetofYams.

2015 budget: Computer Software Acquisition = 81,307,350
2016 budget: Computer Software Acquisition = 559,189,312
(BPP)

"Linking of cable to drivers restroom at villa admin = #322,421,971.

these are some of the content of the budget of yam. if you criticize the last administration and now quiet after seeing this #budgetofyam . you are part of Nigerians problem.

omenka:
PDP supporters are gonna chew this right to its marrow- at last they've found some water shed under the scorching sun to quench their thirst.

That said, there's no budget the world over that is perfect, reason we have a Legislative arm of government to moderate the activities of the executive and vice versa.

Come what may, the proposed expenditure for cars is a no-no for me.



PS: Where is Ihejirika?? Given all the revelations we've seen in the #Dasukigate, I think it is time we invited Steven Davis to come tell us more about what he knows about Boko Haram and Ihejirika's sponsorship.

OGA FACE THE BUDGET ISSUE, BUHARI IS A BIGGGG SCAM

budget of shame

Dear President Buhari,

We are in dangerous times, and your actions, or inactions, will count for a lot. The truth is that whenever someone begins a project, especially one in which he has fought so hard for, it is important to make haste, lest motivation wanes. If motivation wanes, there is a clear and present danger of the entire project faltering. That is the cliff down which we all stare at the moment, including you; no, especially you.

The wind in the sails which swept you to office just over half a year ago are beginning to dissipate, and no other scenario illustrates this better than what is happening in the North-East at the moment. I’d rather not, at this point, dwell on the fact that the buck stops at your table, and for my own selfish reasons.

I voted you, and at this point, I don’t want to accept that I may have made a mistake. In voting you, I had hoped that if anything, I’d be looking at an end to the Boko Haram nonsense with haste. That has not happened. Rather, I’ve been told about a “technical defeat”. What does that mean?

Sir, a week before we all queued up and voted you into office, I stood before a room full of your supporters, an audience which included some of the “big men” in your government today, and I told them that no matter what, they should not lie to you. I took that stand, because I believed, and still believe, that the reason the government of your predecessor failed was because of that sort of dishonesty. Sadly Sir, it appears that my advice is not being heeded.

You are the President of Nigeria. Your success will be beneficial to me, and to millions of fellow citizens. Likewise, your failure, will negatively impact me, and millions of fellow citizens. Telling you the real situation at every point in time will lead you to success. Hiding things from you, will lead to failure. It is my duty to you, and to our country, to tell you the facts always. I do not do blind support Sir; it is not in my blood, and will never be. I do not do blind opposition either. I say things, as I see them, regardless of how painful some of my peers may find such statements. It is both a weakness, and a strength. How you see it Sir, depends on your disposition, and I still like to believe Sir, that you of all people, see such truths as strengths.

Sir, your government is losing momentum, and a large part of it is, at least to my mind, because the people around you, those you have chosen to surround yourself with, are being dishonest with you. They have continued to tell you the same tales that you were told during the campaign, the same tales their predecessors told your predecessor. Rather than sit you down and have an honest discussion with you about the state of things, they are living in denial about the realities on the ground, from the price of oil, to the pump price of petrol, to the state of the economy, to Boko Haram. They are living in denial about the constitutionality of some of your actions; actions which are eroding your credibility as a man of integrity.

I’ll end this letter Sir, by asking a very simple question, a question whose answer is meant for you, and you alone: All things being equal, in thirty years, you will be gone, I’ll still be here, how would you want me to describe you to my grandchildren?

Sincerely yours,
Cheta Nwanze

President Muhammadu Buhari and ex-President Goodlcuk Jonathan top the list of ‘100 most influential Africans of 2015’ by New African magazine.

Also on the list is Chairman, Board of Directors, United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc, Mr. Tony Elumelu and African Development Bank (AfDB) President Akinwunmi Adesina.

The list “presents Africa’s definitive power list and profiles the continent’s top game changers in eight different fields: Politics (22); Public Office (4); Arts and Culture (21); Business (21); Civil Society (11); Technology (9); Media (7); and Sports (5).

President Buhari and former President Jonathan are listed for the significant roles they played in the 2015 elections.

Other Nigerians recognised include the former UN Special Adviser on Post Development Planning, Amina J Mohammed, Nigerian United Kingdom MP and Chuka Umunna and World Bank Vice President and Treasurer Ms Arunmah Oteh



Amina Mohammed is the Minister of Environment. Before her appointment, she was Special Adviser on Post-2015 Development Planning at the United Nations where she contributed to the shaping of the new 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development across three years of complex negotiations and the most inclusive consultation process in the history of the United Nations, her vision and voice helping to bring people together, enlist new partners to the cause and reach global consensus on the Sustainable Development Goals.

Adesina is Nigeria’s former Minister of Agriculture. Umunna is recognised for the significant positive recognition he has brought Nigerians in the UK while Arumah Oteh is recognised for her elevation to one of the most significant positions at the World Bank.

Omar Ben Yedder, Group Publisher, of the New African said the list of “100 Most Influential Africans” celebrates the “men, women and organisations that have shaped our beloved continent, the trail blazers, influencers and the rising stars who are redefining Africa’s future in the various spheres in which they operate.”

Explaining the selection of Elumelu as one of the most influential Africans, he said “In this increasingly global and interconnected world, we need champions; those game changers who are making a difference, changing perceptions and shaping our definition of what is possible. This is why it is our honour to recognise you as one “New African’s 100 most influential Africans 2015. We are so proud of everything you have accomplished.”

Elumelu is also the Founder and Chairman of Heirs Holdings, a privately held investment firm, with interests in the power, Oil and Gas, financial services and hospitality sectors across Africa. He is Chairman of Transcorp, Nigeria’s largest listed conglomerate; and Seadrill Nigeria Limited.

In 2010, Mr. Elumelu created the Tony Elumelu Foundation, which champions African entrepreneurship. In January 2015 the foundation launched the $100 million Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme to seed and support 10,000 African entrepreneurs over the next decade. The programme represents Tony’s personal commitment to the economic philosophy of “Africapitalism”, a development model he propagated, that sees the African private sector as the catalyst in ensuring Africa’s sustainable social and economic development.?

The 2015 cycle of Tony Elumelu Entrepreneurship Programme (TEEP) resulted in the selection of 1,000 entrepreneurs from 51 African countries and territories for business training, active mentoring, networking and seed capital funding for their start-up business ideas. The TEEP entrepreneurs represented a diversity of sectors, ranging from agriculture to education to energy, fashion and ICT, emphasising Africa’s potential. The TEEP initiative has been recognised as one of the most impactful developmental initiatives on the African continent.

Three wives of a Village Head and their 10 children were on Sunday feared killed as a female suicide bomber attacked their home in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, witnesses said.

The woman who took advantaged of the chaotic situation when soldiers of the Nigeria Army were busy engaging Boko Haram fighters in a shootout during a repelled attack on the city, pretended Boko Haram was chasing her, as she ran into the compound of one Bulama Isa, a Village Head.

“She ran into Bulama Isa’s compound shouting ‘Boko Haram, Boko Harma’”, said Ahmed Bala, a resident of Maiduguri.

 
“When the families of Isa all came out of their rooms to meet the woman in the center of their compound, the woman simply detonated the bomb she had under her garment killing the man his three wives and ten children”, said Bala.

 
Bulama Isa who had not returned home yet at the time his home came under attack managed to survive another suicide attack at the entrance of his home.

Sources said another female suicide who was lurking in the dark as the grief struck head of the family walked into his attacked compound, jumped out and detonated herself: but the village head was lucky again. He was able to escape with minor injury, but the blast had succeeded in killing a woman with her baby.

http://leadership.ng/news/486814/another-female-suicide-bomber-kill-family-15-maiduguri

we have technically defeated Boko Haram. the so you heard is knockout sound.
APC is the definition of scam and lies

Garba Shehu
Pardon me, but I am not impressed.
Shehu’s history as a runner of media narrative for one of Nigeria’s former Vice-Presidents is well known – his deployment of his pen in defence his against the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s corruption attacks can easily be recalled – that his pen writes about anti-corruption now is a sign that some pens are without conscience.
Then as now, Shehu should be reminded, that Nigerians were not convinced that the former Vice President was entirely without stain in corruption matters, but we rallied behind him as the spearhead of the only coalition that could put a stop to ex-President Obasanjo’s attempt to impose himself for a third term.
That script has now firmly passed from Obasanjo to President Muhammadu Buhari whose wish seems to be absolute freedom to do as he pleases – with a caged legislature, a tamed opposition and a judiciary that delivers judgments in favour of the ruling party – we have been here before.
But we choose not to be distracted.
There are real issues that Shehu could have addressed – the lingering fuel scarcity for instance, of which ministry his principal heads as Petroleum Minister – when can we expect succour?
Nigeria has never experienced a worse festive season as this since the days of Obasanjo – from an economy spiraling out of control and without direction to a government of clear contradictions – that promises transparency but fails to disclose how much is allocated to Aso Rock as feeding allowance (rumour says NGN1.7bn, 700m higher than last year’s), if for nothing, but so that we can laugh at it as we did with Jonathan, and for a moment not be reminded of our present troubles and very likely bleak 2016.
We will remind Shehu: Mr. President was voted into office for different reasons, just one of which is fighting corruption in PDP alone – the battle against corruption is supported by Nigerians in the belief that it will help turn things around for us economically and perhaps we might ask: how many loopholes and leakages has the current administration blocked so far or shall we assume that the barrels of oil we were told are being stolen per day are no longer being stolen since May 29?
When will Shehu or the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina tell us of how some ministries did not exhaust their 2015 allocated funds and they returned it to Government coffers?
One is encouraged that Boko Haram has now being technically defeated. One must ask however when the Chibok girls will be brought back?
This, if Shehu will realise, is another reason that Nigerians voted the incumbent government in.
Has Garba Shehu seen the picture of Senator Dino Melaye posing for pictures while exiting a presidential aircraft? One of the many that APC told us would be sold off once they come into power as a cost-saving measure?
If you had like me thought that Femi Adesina’s tweet on Christmas Day where he referenced “Wailing Wailers” was a joke or mockery, it wasn’t – and Garba Shehu’s article is the proof – the idea is to keep us politically divided and tag everyone who supports the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a supporter of corruption but here is why it is so important for this Governtent and its spokespersons to keep us divided politically:
They’re fast losing support. It was always going to come at some point – with Jonathan picking over twelve million votes to Buhari’s fifteen million, it was clear that some rejected the change message of APC as well as the incumbent President.
Wisdom stood at the gate of Aso Rock on the night of May 29 and screamed to Mr. President: “Move quickly to occupy a middle ground and become a unifying President. Move!” Wisdom said, “…and hit the ground running for by that you will justify the votes you got and win over the doubters”.
But Mr. President that night chose to dine with the sinners who by sponsoring #Change got a papal bull absolving them of all sins.
And so Buhari did not hear Wisdom that night and is now losing support.
Many are in regret for voting him and although some out of shame cannot speak so soon, many others are now willing to listen to what PDP had to say.
We therefore must make it clear: that elections are over and people have united behind this Government to deliver on its #PromiseOfChange and not turn it into a #ChangeOfPromise.
Shehu in a rare moment of truth admits that a section of PDP (Board of Trustees) is supporting the anti-corruption war but the National Working Committee is opposed to it.
Shehu forgets conveniently that the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, several times has said that anyone found guilty of corruption in the PDP should not be spared and I doubt that any PDP BOT member has even spoken on the matter.
But when men are desperate to see what they want to see, conjuring things up is such an easy task.
We should ask: when will Government agencies headed by handpicked cronies called from retirement start picking up PDP NWC members for corruption since Shehu is convinced that they are corrupt?
This Government just pressed the panic button. They need a rallying cry, they need an enemy to focus the energies of the people on and they’ve found both – corruption and PDP.
They flew the kite of ‘inviting’ Jonathan to EFCC for questioning but found that it didn’t seem exciting to anyone – people who voted Jonathan out had gotten tired of him already and just wanted to focus on the man of the moment, Buhari himself.
Shehu is attempting to stir up their party base but forgets that even they too are tired of this Go-Slow Regime.
#DasukiGate lasted long enough but it failed to last as long as this present #FuelScarcity – one of the longest we’ve had in the past sixteen years.
#DasukiGate lasted until #BuhariGate became a fan topic of discussion on social media.
Shehu, Adesina and their principals should realise: attempting to Govern by Propaganda will work only on gullible people. Mr. President is not only President of APC but also PDP. He is not only President of Lying Liars but also of the Wailing Wailers.
Open your ears: many more are wailing by the day and that is why one hopes that this single-agenda government will expedite action on charging PDP leaders to court for corruption since corruption is a member of PDP that becomes stainless when it joins the APC.
Nigeria needs PDP to position its ideas against this Government but to do that requires a capacity to think and a credible voice.
If before the convention in March, this Government helps PDP to flush out every corrupt person, we may then be able to see credible leaders in PDP and I suspect that for every Dasuki found guilty by media trial, there is a Mukhtar Shagari. For every Dokpesi in PDP, there is a Chibudom Nwuche. For every Jim Nwobodo, there is an Osita Chidoka. For every Bode George, there is a Jimi Agbaje and for those that the Government hasn’t listed as good targets for celebrity trials – there are Umar Nasko, Frank Nweke, Chika Chikelu, Ebenezer Babatope, Ibrahim Shekarau and so many others.
If APC’s politicised war on corruption helps purge PDP of corrupt leaders, it will give occasion for more wailers to join the party officially or non-officially and be proud to be a part of a truly national party.
