PoliticsRe: You Have 7 Days To Bring Out Buhari’s Certificate – Group Tells Defence Minister by Firefire(m): 6:18pm On Nov 15, 2015
Wonderful!

Opening the healed wound. angry

General Buhari has become elected President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria now and he is the Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces, no Military authority will have temerity to keep his Military Service file now and he should not hesitate to order them to bring out his (Buhari) original controversial Secondary School Certificate now within seven (7) days for doubting Thomas to see.

We believe that if you are preaching equity, you must come with clean hands. Failure to bring the Certificate out within the stipulated time would tantamount to the country being governed by the un-certificated President . grin


Buhary should prove the doubting Thomas wrong by presenting his original O'Level used to gain admission to the military school. We don't need the school principal's letter oooo

Oga katsumoto good to see you. Hope you will stick around. Some of my point is that Aregbesola got ahead of himself not planning properly in regards to some of his lofty projects but serious shortfalls in allocation compounded issues. Th FG knows the salary obligation of States and the FG has the duty of putting rainy day savings in place to help States stay afloat yet because of the corruption and wantonly gross looting of the PDP and GEJ many States got into trouble virtually the minute oil prices plummeted. There was no buffers in place at all and between 24-28 States could not pay wages. A responsible government will have no option but to take loans to pay salaries however he may wish to hold out if allocation has fallen by 50-70% and is taking at that level. All in all many governors did not plan well but there is proof they were blindsided by development such as falling oil price.

Many State were already in trouble from when GEJ unilaterally announced a minimum wage, binding on all, that many states could not pay. If we look at all issues as they are interlinked then it becomes obvious that SW governors did compound some problem but we're powerless to prevent others, which they did not cause, from becoming an Albatross around the neck of SW States. This is why I happy GEJ is gone as there is now a chance to repair the damage from the centre while the electorate at State level can do the needful to rove underperforming governors.
Why are you economical with the truth ?

When the ECA was shared how was it managed by the state governors ?

Those who created the Excess Crude Account (ECA) in 2004 meant well. It was opened during the Chief Olusegun Obasanjo presidency to save oil revenues above the established benchmark at the beginning of every fiscal year.

The primary objective is to shield budget estimates against shortfalls that may arise from volatility in crude oil prices at the international market.

By separating government expenditures from oil revenues, the ECA was designed “to insulate the economy from external shocks”, a modern threat known to many countries in the 30s and 40s.

the erstwhile Financial Minister and Coordinating Minister for the Economy Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said the economy was under threat. She expressed concern over the continuous depletion of savings in the ECA.

The minister, who spoke on the sideline of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, warned that the depletion of the ECA to about $2.5 billion had made the country more vulnerable than it was in the past, thereby putting the economy at great risk.

As a cushion against the depletion, she said: “We have tried to set the country’s main parameters in a very modest way. We have made our budget at a very reasonable benchmark price for oil. This is to shield us and to ensure we are not subjected to any volatility that may be in the oil markets.”


The Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) has said it will seek a final constitutional interpretation of all matters relating to the Excess Crude Account controversy between the federal and state governments.

The forum’s Chairman and Governor of Rivers, Mr Chibuike Amaechi, said yesterday in Abuja that the body would seek “a final resolution from the Supreme Court” on all matters relating to the controversy.

Amaechi said this was because the NGF had been dissatisfied with the “present attitude of the Federal Government on the Excess Crude Account”.

The meeting, which was held at the Rivers State Governor’s Lodge in the Abuja, was attended by, among others, the governors of Rivers, Ekiti, Ogun and Imo.

Others at the meeting included governors of Lagos, Kano, Plateau, Anambra, Bauchi, Adamawa, Gombe, Yobe, Jigawa, Delta, Ondo, Abia, Kogi and Oyo states.

OK. Can you pls point out the areas you personally think can be improved upon; or areas that critically need prioritised govt engagement, keeping in mind areas that would benefit the populace in terms of employment and / business opportunity?

I like the fact that you see this situation we have found ourselves in the southwest have little political colouration beyond access to, and influence of the federal govt.

Truth is, some governors are just damn lazy when you get to the basics of governance. But they cover up easily by "communicating" - using all means possible, what their populace want to hear.
The overhype and media noise and propaganda is what me as a person personally hate in our SW governors.

Let the people know the truth without hiding anything.

Beyond creating some functional state department like KAI, O'Yes, Lastma, O' Cadet etc. to create job.

Beyond buying 10 motorcycle, 10 sewing machine, 10k for 10 indigenes... and labeled it constituency project.

I believe the respective state government can make a policy to support SME by providing low interest loan to support their enterprise across the state.

The collected constituency allowance should by the legislators should be well accounted for, and should be deployed to their respective LG and constituency.

We cannot mention any other job creation without mentioning diversification into agriculture, the state government to ensure provision of enough mechanized farming tools that can be rented at a discounted price across the states of SW.

The government can also support the farmers in providing adequate preservation for their farm produce.

And the list continue...

Honestly, they are all the same. How can Lagos be owing that much debt, same with Ogun and the rest. All the SW governors from 1999 are to be blamed for this nonsense, its annoying.
God bless you.

Starting from the looter Gbenga Daniel in Ogun state, all his OGD Buses are medium used to steal the state dry.

Then to Alao Akala, who used all Oyo state resources to tone his skin and buy necklaces and 'leg-laces'

Then to Olagunsoye Oyinlola of Osun, whose reign shows no developmental project and so on.

We should check the foundation, and now consider how the coming builders lay on it.

You would also have read or seen Gbajabiamila's interviews that he was the one that brought Tambuwal to Tinubu's house in Lagos to seek his support because he felt that Tambuwal was better qualified to lead the house. Tinubu did not know Tambuwal from Adam. I wonder where your Tinubu interests come in all of these.

You are missing the logic, Gbaja introduced Aminu to the master for blessing as against supporting our own sister, Hon. Mulikat Akande lati ilu Ogbomoso, because they are not from the same party and for future political gain at the detriment of the region.

What's your take on ekiti? Can you give us a political and economic profile of the state that would show us that its in the right path as regards Yoruba socio-rconomic upgrade?

You criticism has its place and limit - same goesfor oother contributors- but you can just as we avail us of information of areas that are encouraging and area that need to be worked on. Pls start with ekiti.
If we can honestly discuss progress without resulting to names calling and abuse or any personal character assassination, it would be of great value.

Looking at Ekiti State, unfortunately the economy of the state at the moment is not robust as the state is being run on budget deficit, with no plan for any infrastructural development.

The few noises made by Fayose is only a media hype.
