Because your Atiku didn't win? Why didn't you suggest this when you were Minister?

This man has said nothing. Who told him that 90% of the money in the budget is to be used to pay salaries of 2 million workers or that only FG determines where roads and water projects can be built? The 36 states have their own respective budgets and can decide to build water projects and roads without any hindrance from FG. Everyone now wants to talk.

isthatso:
Govt can only spend what it has, people dont realise that all the money we get from Oil is nothing, it only sounds big on paper, our population is too much amd we dont pay taxes.

our entire revenue from oil is about $30B a year we have a population of 200m that's roughly $150 (N54,000) per person a year for roads, power, education, health, etc

Think about it.

Don't forget that it is not FG alone that receives and uses oil revenue. Oil revenue along with VAT and other revenue like custom duties etc are shared monthly between the FG, States and LGAs based on the established revenue sharing formula.

I'm not surprised this thick headed slowpoke of a president
Will allocate 48 and 46 billion respectively for education and health

You are not a thick headed slowpoke yet you couldn't see that Universal Basic Education Commission(UBEC) and Ministry of Education got 112B and 48B respectively. Giving the education sector the highest allocation of 160B. UBEC funds SUBEBs (primary education) in all States Nationwide.

RexTramadol1:
Since UBEC was established how is its budget reflecting? Just substandard schools that politicians have been feeding off from for ages


But that's not even the main point, UBEC has been there since and until these high budget is replicated with results we can't say there is any commitment anywhere.



That being said, Basic Education is primary schools, I stand being corrected, except you're saying dey merged subeb and UBEC I don't see anything in the huge budget.



Primary education has always been what it is

Pls note the UBEC is National while SUBEB is states. The funds allocated to UBEC is to enable it provide funding for all States Universal Education Boards (SUBEBs), the States only match the grants with their counterpart funding to enable them access the grants.

etebefia:
48b only for education? It's obviously the Fulani herdmen will take a bulk of the agriculture budget.

You have not noticed the 112billion for Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC)? Add that to the 48B for Ministry of Education and you will see that education as a whole is given priority.

All the scoundrels above concurring with CUPP have surely not even read or seen the budget before they start wailing. Is that not madness?

Fadomero:
This ones no go free person rest again anything just to trend

The show must go on

Hmmm

Buhari is working.

Nightmare of the children of hate and perdition. Carry go our amiable VP.

Them don't already de panel beat their faces.

If you see me, you will hail me EBUBE DIKE, because if you stab me, IGBO will flow out of my body not blood. I am the truest son of the soil. I don't play hide and seek. I address my people face to face unlike your Buhari.
Please remind me the last time your Jubril/ Buahri had a town hall meeting with you Nigerians face to face and live? None, zero, nil.
Now tell me who is his father's child and who is not? Ndi-ara. Mad people.

OK, so when last did you and your Father hold a town hall meeting? Mr Igbo blood.

Propaganda Development Party (PDP) at it again. Cock and bull story for gullible block headed pigs.

SEGLIZ:
I don't want to play the tribal card here but we can't but play it.
even if at all apc is fielding and igbo candidacy the truth is the entire south east would vote against that individual.
they would rather vote an atiku or any pdp candidate than an apc igbo candidate.

You sabi them, they are very sentimental in politics.

immortalityk:
Please I want to ask
Are Igbo people in control of nairaland
I created a topic and begged the mod to push to FP but they didn't
Look at this dumb fake news in trending section
Hmm
I give up

It taya o!

Who gave you this info? Tell that person to behave his or herself. Its fake news.

Chai!!

executive12:
Nope. It was reported that over £200,000 in cash was found on him and he admitted he was supposed to deliver it to someone.
I believe that because of his connection to your President and First Lady, a political decision was made to just deport him instead of jailing him.
Similar thing happened under President Obasanjo. Andy Ubah was involved in money laundering. I think it was about $175,000 in cash. They could have tried and jailed him. Instead, they asked him to pay a fine and go, obviously because of his connection to President Obasanjo.

What's the source of this info? Could well be a fabrication cos UK is a country of laws which the law enforcement agents cannot bend weather you are Rupert Murdoch or the husband of Theresa May.

Nothing new here.

Tell PDP to give Igbo ticket in 2023.

scribble:
Buhari is a despot and a tyrant

Bloody fulani vampire

What about Governor Ben Ayade of PDP?

Ayade should free Agba Jalingo, that guy has done nothing wrong by writing about how N500 million approved for the state microfinance bank had been diverted. Its surprising that PDP hasn't called its Governor to order.

Nwadiuto247:
Wetin concern Igbo and small Akwa Ibom?

Small Akwa Ibom you say, but your people are trying hard to claim it.

Playing to the gallery.

adenigga:
That's where we found ourselves o!

May God delivered us, but a Phd holder has once ruled us, we thank God!

I'm still researching on the difference between the PhD holder & affidavit certificate holder' administration, till when I'm done, stay cool.

Wetin your Phd holder been do give us?

MelesZenawi:
War or no war is not an issue. All we saying is that there are no Igbos in Akwa-Ibom and Igbos have nothing in common with Akwaibom..

I strongly recommend government to start erecting high wall borders to end this..

This recent attempt by some IPOBs to try to colonize and claim land from us is just unbelievable.

Beer parlour gossip. If you are caught laundering money in the UK, that is a criminal offence and you will be tried and jailed there like James Ibori and his wife Nkoyo. I believe his was a passport issue hence his being denied entry beyond Heathrow.

NwaNimo1:
Igbo Amaka.....

Akwa Ibom na Igbo?

So why does he have to snap what should be a private moment and put it up in social media?

nairabitcoins:
Please, next time, don't jump on my mention to type trash, because of one useless thread, that I did not even bother to read nor comment on. What is my business with Cross River or Akwa Ibom? I don't even roll with you guys, and so don't talk shiit to me. Rivers State is a multi ethnic group state, of which the Igbo speaking part is very visible, which is a fact. Now Bleep off my mention, if you don't have anything sane to say.
Bringing in Biafra, which your rabid Igbophobi blinds you to her portential, if I have my way, the leadership of IPOB will erase anything non Igbo speaking. I am against IPOB for this sole reason. You guys are ingrate, and don't deserve any relationship with hinterland Igbos. Like I stated early on, fuvck off my mention. Nwanshi.

Say whatever you like, but I have said what I said. Land grabbers.
