The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is d illusion of knowledge.

That's ur signature right up there, and av been trying to ignore ur two-faced posts thereafter. How can u av that as ur signature and not av understand what Obj is after? Till now, u still believe Obj was wrong in criticising/abandoning d corrupt and ineffectual past administration? U still tink all d figures being stated as mis-appropriated are being cooked up? U really do tink d continuation of d last dispensation was d best for d country?

I've never liked Obj n Tinubu(both are corrupt n dictatorial), but u av to give dem their just due, their character is strengthening our democracy.

Obj, with d above stance, is letting d public know - he stands with nobody, but just wants good governance from whoever is in power. D same way he sold us GEJ(who embarrassed him with his ineffectiveness) is d same way he sold PMB(who is already taking too much time to get going) and its d same way he will trying selling some-else, per-adventure PMB ends up a flop.

U av an illusion of knowledge, since u haven't got dat abt Obj!
Instructive post. Kudos!

Discerning minds already see that there is provision of N350bn (?) revenue from looted fund in the budget. It's first time in our history that a govt has included recovery from looted money in our budget.

Sure, the president has no justification for still keeping those presidential jets. Anything more than four or five jets is a no-no for me.


The chnage is real and original. It's a change from impunity to civility/probity/accountability. A change from stealing is not corruption to one that punishes looters of our common wealth. A change from wastage to effective and efficient management of our resources.
Good point!


We need you and your team to instigate a public outcry to the presidency to quickly and urgently dispose the presidential jets, block the extravagance in the proposed 2016 budget, become more transparency as promised, make the fight about getting back the looted fund more open without any acrimony and prejudice, and see Nigerians supporting the change under hardship condition without complaining.

To this end, the committee chairman, Senator Aliyu Wamakko, ruled that the permanent secretary and the ministry should go back to the drawing board and come up with a more sensible overhead cost, saying its discovery was that the huge sum was deliberately hidden under parastatals’ personnel cost".

To me, this is not surprising at all. In fact, I expected this to have come from OBJ long before now. The reason being that PMB has rightly decided not to allow the so called influential Nigerians tele-guide him.

Expect Tinubu, Atiku and a few others to tow similar path to OBJ in the coming months. It's what they will resort to once they're not consulted before major policies/decisions are taken by the government of the day.
Clear evidence that the promised CHANGE is an ORIGINAL FAKE! cheesy


Btw: What justification do you have for the borrowing when we are getting back the "looted fund" from PDP and could likewise sell off the presidential jets to recoup money to fund the budget ?

ZUBY77:
And you are privy to this invisible super economic solutions?
What is so secretive about borrowing money to fund leisure programs? What business does a country with many private jets have borrowing money from those who don't have even one?

Do you people ever sleep without GEJ hanging on your lips? At least GEJ had money, he was lucky to be there when oil was up. Not that I am his fan, but the truth remains the truth.

Now that oil is down, is it not important that we auction off at least half of our jets instead if borrowing money to maintain them?
This government is not serious about cutting their excesses as promised during their campaign. What is Buhary still waiting for to disposed off the presidential jets and save Nigeria future mortgaging by borrowing to fund his budget. Selling the aircrafts would generate some fund, and save us the 12 Billion Naira yearly maintenance costs.

Walahi, APC is a complete FRAUD.

50% budget deficit looming for Nigeria, $2 billion dollars borrowed from Dubai Islamic bank, $3.5 billion about to be borrowed from world bank, northern governors looking to borrow more from Saudi Islamic bank.

The worst of all is that the borrowing is being used to pursue welfare packages & some senseless political promises.
Maintaining 11 presidential jets & going to borrow from a country that has none to expend N3 billion of it maintaining the planes.
Nigerians need to call this govt to order

[size=13pt]My fears for Buhari’s change agenda: Obasanjo Expresses Doubt Over The Ability Of Buhari’s Team To Carry Out Real Change. [/size]

*Says gains he made in public service reforms reversed

By Clifford Ndujihe & Ola Ajayi

LAGOS—FORMER president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, yesterday, dissected the state of socio-economic affairs of the country, especially the initiatives of the current administration, and returned a verdict of doubt. His words:

“The problem today is that it is doubtful if the current administrative system is imbued with right mix of skills and values to successfully implement a well-articulated programme of change.”
He also averred that the country was on its way to another debt burden unless the rising debts were creatively addressed.

Obasanjo, who recalled how he led Nigeria to exit the Paris Club and how he pursued public service reforms, regretted that the gains he made had been reversed.

The former president made the remarks at the conference of Ibadan School of Government and Public Policy, ISGPP, Ibadan, Oyo State.

The former President stressed the need for government to kick out all forms of corruption in the polity, provide jobs for unemployed youths and be committed to change.

Looming debt overhang


Noting that the conference was timely as the country was in search of new ways of doing things, given the crisis of governance that now manifests in vigorous ways, Obasanjo said: “The drastic fall in the price of oil in the international market has unravelled the weakness of governance in Nigeria. “The Minister of Finance has recently announced that the 2016 Budget deficit may be increased from the current N2.2 trillion in the draft document before the National Assembly, to N3 trillion due to decline in the price of crude oil.

“If the current fiscal challenge is not creatively addressed, Nigeria may be on its way to another episode of debt overhang, which may not be good for the country. It will be recalled that a few years ago, we rescued Nigeria from its creditors with the deal in which the Paris Club of sovereign creditors wrote off USD 18 billion of debt, Africa’s largest debt cancellation.

“Nigeria then used windfall earnings from oil exports to pay off another USD 12 billion in debts and arrears.

Systemic failure

He continued: “Recent developments in governance show the failure of systems, the disregard for institutional processes and the general decline of institutions that used to function to guarantee reasonable service delivery to citizens

Leadership must be committed to change


“Now, given these governance challenges and our experience with reform, it is clear that change doesn’t just happen, there must be a basis for change. Leadership has to be committed to change. Beginning with the reality of the budget, there is need for sober reflection. Rebuilding the foundations of governance involved paying attention to values, principles and practices that promote hard work, innovation and sacrifice.

“Leaders who call for sacrifice from the citizenry cannot be living in obscene opulence. We must address these foundational issues to make the economy work, to strengthen our institutions, build public confidence in government and deal with our peace and security challenges. We must address the issue of employment for our teeming population, particularly for our youths.


“Leadership must mentor the young and provide them with hope about their future as part of a process of inter-generational conversation.”

Lambasts govs over LG funds

…Anyaoku wants six geo-political zones made federating units

The former president also lambasted some state governors who he said had turned themselves to emperors in their various states, mismanaging funds meant for local councils.

Lamenting the pitiable conditions of teeming masses in the councils, he said: “Is there any development going on in the 774 constitutionally recognised local government councils?

“Now, we have a situation where some governors have become sole administrators, acting like emperors. These governors have rendered public institutions irrelevant and useless in the manner they starve local governments their legitimate funds from the federation account.

“When governors take their money, the chairmen of councils take the balance of the money and put it on the table and share it out among the council members. In some states, governors have hijacked the resources of local governments and expended them to serve their whims and caprices instead of using these resources to galvanise growth and development”.

"Under normal circumstance, Aluko ought to be arrested and tried for perjury. He was the PDP witness in the tribunal and it‎ meant he lied under oath. The powers that be in Abuja may not see it that way because he is doing their bidding now. Nigerians should ask him to provide evidence for his claims and whether it was the military that helped the PDP thrash the APC in the general elections last year in Ekiti.

A former Comptroller-General of Immigration, David Parradang, was suspended by the Federal Government in August,2015 for allegedly recruiting 1,600 personnel in violation of extant laws. Investigations on Sunday indicated that the personnel who were on inspector cadre (levels 1-10, were employed in December, 2015.

Buhary suspended David in August 2015, Some APC officers in the era of CHANGE fraudulently employed another 300 personnel in December 2015.
