JUST as much as PMB before people thought it to be wise to give him a chance,...... not knowing get he was a scam

at least we are seeing the lagos ibadan railway line coming alive

jamb is contributing about 8bn to the national coffers

intels -the brain child of atiku has been forced to remit millions of dollars to the nation

tax is now being taken seriously ---can you imagine atiku claiming to only earn 10m naira a year (I guess the tax man is on his tail)

and above all we are waiting for the time atiku would be brave enough to face his american nemesis -->>>probably directly in prison.

Kingosytex:
your question should have been "how many times buhari/jibrin failed before successfully rigging himself into power"

Yon can't answer a simple question..

atiku will fail again --only this time his defeat would leave a deep scare in his mind.

tuniski:
Even you announced or Unannounced enter Market and start sharing money then see the mob!

Buhari has shared pervasive poverty for almost 4yrs now that elections are near with nothing to show, Prof osinbajo suddenly is now touring markets sharing money!

#BuharitoDaura2019 irreversible!

pervasive poverty!!!

have you forgotten so soon how jonathan ruin the economy to the extend that salaries were not paid

Nigerian govt borrowing billions to pay salaries – Okonjo-Iweala
May 6, 2015Premium Times


Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
In the face of dwindling oil revenues, Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said the Federal Government has borrowed about N473billion to pay salaries and fund the 2015 budget.

The Minister, who was speaking in Abuja on the details of the N4.493trillion appropriation already passed by the National Assembly, said the federal government had to raise its borrowing level from N570 billion to N882 billion to enable it meet its financial obligations to workers and contractors.

The minister blamed it on the decline in oil revenue in late 2014, which accounted for 50 per cent cut in the total federally collectible revenue as well as the low revenue receipts from non-oil sources.

Despite past efforts to reduce government borrowing level, she said the acute cash flow problems forced government to take the decision to curb the negative impact of revenue crunch.

The Minister said about N380billion came from external sources, while the balance is for domestic borrowing.

“We have tried to work within the budget,” she said. “Last year, the borrowing came down to about N570 billion. But, this year, because of the very difficult cash flow situation, we have provided N882billion in borrowing.

“About N380billion of that is external borrowing and the balance of N502 billion is for domestic borrowing. All we have borrowed so far is N473billion, which is within the budget.”

Contrary to recent reports that there was no provision in the budget for fuel subsidy, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said the lawmakers actually made a provision in the budget for about N100 billion for petrol and another N45.52 billion for household kerosene fuel subsidy.

Although President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to sign the 2015 Appropriation Bill into law, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said the expenditure so far made was legal, as the constitution authorises the government to incur such expenses within the first six months of a fiscal year.

She said the final budget of N4.493tillion approved by the National Assembly was higher by N51billion than the N4.425trillion draft Appropriation submitted by the President last year.



The minister added that gross federally collectible revenue increased by N169.84bn, from N9.61tn to N9.78tn as a direct result of raising the benchmark price.

Meanwhile, the Minister on Wednesday denied that Federal workers were owed salaries, saying workers’ salaries have been up to date till April.

The spokesperson to the Minister, Paul Nwabuikwu, said the difficulty in salary payment was being orchestrated by some governors, who are trying to blame the Federal for their predicament.

“The 50 per cent drop in revenues, which affects allocations through the Federation Accounts, simply means that salaries should be prioritized”, Mr. Nwabuikwu explained.


the very common trait among Nigerians --short memory

tuniski:
He goes around sharing money and people are struggling to get their share, with the pervasive poverty in the country. But. Buharideens will never get it!

Election is here and apc in panic mode turning prof osinbajo to money sharer aka vote buying!

Have you forgotten how saraki and his father used to hand over loafs of bread in Kwara.

Ask saraki and atiku to Walk the streets of Kwara. And visit the markets.

Kingosytex:
APC know that atiku has all the structures that are needed to send the illiterate blood sucking demon back to the evil forest

So how many times has atiku failed. Hmmmm

Just asking

supereagle:
OBJ said that we should not handover to thieves and hooligans. Dead brains couldn't discern what he meant.

And I guess you read OBJ book to discern what he meant.

Unekwunice:
Jonathan Paid for all those things

Your ignorance is baffling — I guess jonadrunk was too sleepy to even have the mental capacity to think.

We can see the railway line slowly becoming a reality between Lagos and Ibadan, pdp has 16yrs to try something like this but they couldn’t.

a decent well trained lady would be impressed by your hard work,career and future

a street, runs girl would be impressed by your car,jewelry and how much you can give her to buy her fake hair and bleaching cream ---these type of girls are only good for a one night stand.

we call them PAYG --public property

Jombom:
Can anyone image this bastard that takes over 9 -11 months to sign the national budget hurrying Buhari to sign an electoral bill of less than a month into law ?! Where some fools get the effrontery to make lunatic demand is beyon me.

saraki is nothing but a selfish man..

all he thinks about his himself

he is a clone of atiku

guilty conscience dey worry this man ----the fear of his imminent failure is making this man panic...

someone should get a doctor close to atiku in feb....the shock of his impeding defect might just bring on a seizure ..

Anigreat:




We all know, it's so glaring to everyone


APC means disaster.


Never again

So you mean the Lagos Ibadan railway is a disaster— please give me 10 of those disasters any day.

Now - can you kindly list one project completed by VP atiku or the pdp when they were power for 16yrs.

let them blast -----blast blast

the market women who have money in their pockets are happy

abi i lie

all I see is wailing in 2019

16yrs of pdp and they couldn't come up with something like this ----then comes along a prof to teach them a thing of two and it hurts.

by the way did atiku ever make it to the yankee I heard the chicken beat a retreat

989900:
Good news, but why is this not reflecting in the exchange rate?

Actually a lower naira means our goods would be cheaper when exported.

So it is important that we encourage more local prodution

Remember this is one of the areas US is fighting China - the yen is always kept low.

frankmoney:
Emiefele is actually doing a great job we need to stop being an import dependent country but a manufacturing one . At least let's stop importing food product

They should include moet, whiskey etc in the list. When did nigeria become a dumpling ground for hard liquer.

Ogogoro is there and also good old star.

Hmmm

Imagine the further drop in the import bill

Can’t wait the to get on this train. I miss that Ibadan Amala.

Good food.

He is following in his fathers footsteps- give the masses crumbs and they will always be subservient

baliyubla:
Zombies should oya gather, as their period of masturbation has been extended for a week or two. But how naive can APC be, putting all their campaign eggs in one U.S.A basket.

Isn’t atiku a brave man. Let him just get on a flight and go. Haba.

Gboy101:
the world has endorsed atiku, its only China that is supporting buhari

which world endorsed athithief? --you mean se world ..lol

please let this drunk support his pdp paddy...

some idiots call this hustling..

hustling is when you wake up at 5am in the morning and follow your mother to the market and help her set up her stall before going to school

hustling is when you do menial jobs to get by

hustling is when you take up teaching to get extra money for school

hustling is when you keep your body fit (20*5 press-ups,20* 5 swats,50*5 sit-ups) for the hard day ahead -

when you take another persons money and claim you are hustling, then you are only a low life thief.

ZombiePUNISHER:
God bless Jonathan

He will surely be remembered for kick starting the railway revolution in Nigeria

Yes, he will be remembered for the kick start. But never forgotten for never completing anything.

Reminds me of those elders in university — so so carryover — never dey graduate.

dukie25:
There's no Nigerian politician as dogged as Dino, dude is ready to go in the trenches at a minute's notice.


We need brave men who can match the tyrant war for war.
Dino Melaye is an expert in baboon soaking. Let's go.

trenches?? ..do you mean the man who climbed a tree with he heard mopol was after him
do you mean the man who was wailing on the floor like a 3yr old overgrown baby

do you mean the man who was fighting in house of reps in front of school children

well --I guess a party like pdp deserves scumbag like dino ---3rd class graduate

we will develop when we have real men in the NASS -not opportunist who believe the NASS is a place to accumulate wealth

TheFreeOne:
Only simpletons and zombies thinks otherwise.

The so-called social intervention programs are being undertaken close to election period cos APC have no tangible achievement to campaign with hence their need to 'stylishly' bribe the electorates.

Nigerians should not reinforce failure. Let's vote this incompetent government out in 2019.

nobody stopped the pdp from doing this --nobody stopped them for 16yrs.

what saraki and his family did was ruin a bank and left many people penniless

what saraki and his NASS friends are doing is enjoying the dividends of democracy --a minimum salary of 20m naira a month --do you see people complain on the streets.

if the apc government deems it fit to give out loans or some money to deserving people then I can only applaud them....sai baba --

buhari till 2023 --haters can go drown in the river niger ..hahahahha

as long as pdp and their chief looters don't get near CBN again we would make progress...

athithief can rule in aba market.

Jman06:
And so The Jonathan's government released 200billion naira and would have released another 200billion after the 2015 election if he had been elected. What is stopping Buhari from committing an equivalent amount of money into the universities All he does is lie to us that there's no money! Nigeria as a nation cannot afford 200billion to invest in university education per year until 1.1trillion naira is completed And you think I should believe that

I'm sure if government can release good money today towards meeting ASUU's demands, the strike would be called off.

Have you complained to the NASS - this same NASS have just approved the creation of more higher institutions without any consideration for funding

You can on one hand tolerate the damage our NASS are doing to our education system, and the on the other hand blame Buhari for everything.

If NASS can budget 150bn for themselves and earn huge salaries , I don’t see why they can’t approve a larger budget for education - this is their constitutional responsibility.

Jman06:
At least whatever improvements we have recorded in the education sector today are the results of PDP leadership. TETFUND, PTDF etc are products of PDP governments. Jonathan's administration released about 200billion in fulfillment of agreements reached with ASUU, how much has Buhari's government released I'm sure if Jonathan was reelected in 2015 we wouldn't be having another ASUU strike today. All APC government keeps giving us is excuse upon excuse.

read this carefully --200bn out of the 1T promised ,this is a complicated issue and the government needs to find the money asap.


https://punchng.com/inside-ASUU-fgs-memorandum-of-action/

Jman06:
This is a political strategy employed by FG to trick Nigerians into believing that they care about education. When I heard the news, I knew that this ASUU strike is nowhere near being called off.

What a useless government supported by gullible zombies!

why didnt pdp use this 'trick' also ---we all know during the pdp years JAMB could only remit to the government 50M naira ---now JAMB is remitting billions (7bn naira)

I would prefer further reduction and I am sure they government would be willing to listen to the students.

its great news for the millions who want to send their kids to higher institution but we really should read this again to understand why this was even possible in the first place..

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/11/adeosun-adamu-thought-jamb-couldnt-remit-more-than-n500-million-oloyede-daud-olatunji-abeokuta-the-registrar-of-the-joint-admissions-and-matriculation-board-jamb-prof-ishaq-oloyede-has-said/

'“We finished the examinations and had N9billion left. I couldn’t sleep, I would check and recheck to see if the figures were correct. I asked my people if we have done everything necessary and if there is anyone we owe anything. They said no! “Look at what that could have done to our nation.
We are talking about JAMB and not yet NNPC. If we eliminate corruption, Nigeria will be good for everyone of us.



so many people have bled this country dry...for so many years.

yes someone wants me to vote for atiku...lol....

sai baba ..till 2023

atiku will be gasping for air after seeing this -just hope he doesn't have a heart-attack

dan2976:
You are right. They have an obligation to return the funds but not the way this government recovery will go about it. First of all to make this news public without quietly informing this banks to get prepared can trigger panic and large withdrawals from depositors stressing the already stressed and tense banking sector.

Our banks are still yet to recover from government agencies that left them to set up the single treasury account. To call or demand for $7bn in one fell swoop without a spread out strategy in place will bury some banks that right now are already on life support. As from the moment some hear this news, it is an immediate stimulant to start sacking workers and causing chaos to lessen their exposure.

I am truly sorry for the policy makers in this country. They have done more harm than good. If this is what this government has to offer in 2019, then I suggest Nigerians begin to seek green pasture in other countries. This economy will collapse.

And is there panic now. Are people rushing to the banks to withdraw their funds

We are talking of money the banks were given in 2005 or thereabouts- we know for a fact that the money did not translate to cheaper loans for the people - even if the money they got belongs to us

The point is that we should not be funding the extravagant lifestyle of bankers.

Most of us would rather not go near a bank in the country because it is a known fact that they are the main bastions of corruption. The keepers of illegal funds
