He just made himself clear by saying that the society expects more from his lecturers and if they don't deliver, the investment made to them amounts to a waste.
Check the history of UNILAG, even right from the era of Professor Awoniyi, Prof Akin Adesola, they always have people and students like this.There was even Olusegun Maiyegun who wears a natural heavy fearsome dreadlock and was the predecessor of Sowore. UNILAG has its history and tradition and clearly a matured university,not just a first class first generation university by mouth.
Don't you see that Sowore is already giving him his Sahara reporters platform to push Femi's struggle.
This is UNILAG. They are masters at objective and constructive aluta and they always get what they want!!

If you can't debate or put your point(s) across without sounding like a dyslexic individual, then I suggest you move ahead.

samguru:
There something you guys don't understand,most of these money recovered from looters are still under litigation therefore government can not touch it.

And all these monies generated as revenue are yet to be properly remitted to CBN.

In public procurement act,the government can not disburse fund for any project until after 6 months.

Let's be patient with our government .

Standing5:
Pained losers everywhere. Change is being delivered already and Nigerians who understand this aren't shaken a bit.

joseph1832:
[s]Any sane mind devoid of sentiment that border on tribal and religious loyalty will know that the PDP is infact, more than responsible for the recent economic recession happening in the country today.

But, be that as it may, any sane mind should ask what the current government is doing to ameliorate the harsh economic conditions being felt in the country today.

Blaming the PDP isn't going to do squat, that much is known, so rather than conducting online polls where most of the people who participated in the poll are fuelled by tribal and religious loyalty, I'd say it's about time the government of PMB start working on ways to put an end to this nonsense.

Pointing fingers doesn't give people jobs, neither does it feed anybody and put money in people's pockets.

It's time this government look ahead and move forward and stop all this child shenanigans.[/s]

Please remember to visit premium news website to cancel the part of the original report stating that your hero,GEJ, in his usual manner, supervised the stealing of a whopping N57billion through the ewallet scam.
You all can run but you can not hide.

MadamExcellency:
Which deficit and a phantom five months are you talking about when the 2014 budget ran through till 31st March, 2015? Have you forgotten that 2015 only got expended on May 10th, 2016, this year. Do you know the percentage recurrent expenditure in 2015 budget?

You think you can come to a public forum to repeat the same rubbish you do among your gullible friends and be allowed to get away with it?

Stop fabricating lies to shoot your conscience. Enough of these obfuscation

Cromagnon:
name one policy of his(adesina) that succeeded,just 1
fertilizer we no see
mumu(thinking this is america) spent 60billion on phones,phones fa.
banned fish when fish farmers association told him we do not possess the capacity to produce.
cassava bread we no see
rice we no see
thank goodness for anambra,and kebbi rice policy
integrity and not lofty ideas are what are needed for our country's development

The Federal Government’s policy on rice import is designed to save the country $2.5 billion yearly, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Akinwumi Adesina has said.

The government placed a new policy on rice import to promote local rice production and attain self-sufficiency by next year.

Adesina explained that high-quality Nigerian rice is in the market, adding that the country will be a net exporter of rice.

“Today, Nigeria is feeding itself, since a nation that cannot feed itself is simply at the mercy of others subject to the volatility of global commodity markets. Soon, Nigerian rice will become global exhibition.

“Our rice self-sufficiency policy was directed at saving Nigeria $2.5 billion annually and putting this into the hands of our rice farmers and rural communities,” Adesina was quoted to have said in a statement.

THE Backward Integration Programme (BIP ) policy in the rice sector put in place by the federal ministry of Agriculture to boost local rice production with the approval of an inbuilt tariff/levy differential deliberately skewed in favour of investors has been commended by stakeholders. The policy, which is said to have attracted more than $1.6 billion of private sector investments, allows investors to temporarily import brown or finished rice to bridge the present gap in supply and demand.

Businessideas:
Y[s]ou didn't read the part of the report that stated that in the characteristics of GEJ, the ewallet fertilizer distribution was job for the corrupt pdp Jonathan boys as that noble idea was riddled with corruption that left a debt of N57billion
That Jonathan administration was cursed with the spirit of stealing.
The current administration is actually mocking GEJ administration by explaining that it will be due to their own transparency and efficiency, the process may now work. The ewallet system failure is like the failure in the airport remordernization that was equally bungled by GEJ even after borrowing billions from the Chinese[/s]

Standing5:
Jonathan spent just five months in power in 2015 but exhausted 10.5 months of budget and left huge debt in addition. PDP is dead for good. Hurray!

DifferentBoy1:
Go get a state, leave my state and it's activities alone for us.... ... stateless man.

DifferentBoy1:
Hey, watch your write ups.... can your state afford to pay for each of those pillars used there
Do you know what that would have yielded if carried on by the present government
Don’t call what you don't know "small scale" because that is monorail and not ordinary train rail construction,it uses cash in excess for execution.
Have a nice day!!!

eleojo23:
Under Jonathan, minimum wage for federal workers was increased from 7000 to 18000, where did the extra money come from?

Under Jonathan, the FG was paying billions of naira monthly to subsidize petroleum products whose prices kept rising as the price of crude oil rose. A subsidy he tried to remove but was vehemently resisted by the citizens.

Under Jonathan more power
stations costing billions of dollars were completed and made operational.

Under Jonathan old and dilapidated railways were brought back to life (PH Enugu) and brand new standard guage ones (Abuja kaduna ) were also built. These cost billions of dollars to build.

Under Jonathan, perennial death traps like Benin Ore road were rebuilt, these cost billions of dollars.

Under Jonthan, 9 new Federal universities were built, OBJ built none.

Under Jonathan some university
lecturers began earning bigger salaries. Where did the money come from?

Under Jonathan, billions of naira was injected into the amnesty program (initiated by Yaradua). This was done to ensure uninhibited flow of oil. The money came from somewhere.

Under Jonathan our military which had been deliberately abandoned for many years was revamped with billions of dollars to fight boko haram. That money came from somewhere

bashydemy1:
Have you forgotten so soon that OBJ also increase minimum wages and still be able to safe alot in a foreign reserve where did he get the money he use to pay the minimum wages and be able to safe?

Abeg which military are you talking about? is it the same military that was being probe for $2.1billion money meant for ammunition that was shared by ATM Dasuki? please don't provoke me..


About the amnesty who did they give the money and what was the outcome? Asari dokubo left his state Bayelsa, left his Country Nigeria and went to invest the money in another country Benin Republic. Now tell me of what benefit if the amnesty to Nigeria and Nigerians? how about tompolo that use his own money to buy warship and ammunition from foreign country without investing it here.. the list is endless.q

obailala:
I am not defending anything, I am simply stating a fact but your deep seated prejudice for the present government has blocked your reasoning. Else can you kindly point out what I have said up there which is false?

obailala:
If by bailing out extended ones, you refer to the FG bailout of states, then your ignorance is in another level. You probably are one of those ones who make ignorant statements about how Nigeria isn't broke because we had $29bn left in the foreign reserves; probably it has to drop to zero and we must degenerate to the Venezuelan crisis before your type agrees that we have no savings?..... Meanwhile by saying 'subordinates' one would think the money is being gifted to his friends for free, however, your type obviously doesnt care that the state workers being owed salaries are also Nigerians whose welfare is also the business of the president.

mars123:
dude I'm not here to dabble with you because you now want to act like you already had the information I just passed to you making it seem as if na bizzy body carry me come quote you but there are actually plenty of us here on nl who have learnt alot so don't be shy about learning new things.

mars123:
[s]to educate you a bit on the difference between both projects is that these particular railway projects, majority of it will be funded by the Chinese government if you can remember the loan agreement between Nigeria and China is strictly for building infrastructure and the funds are going straight to the Chinese contractors. So whatever happened in Rivers stays in Rivers.[/s]

obailala:
Yeah the government has made some bad choices which has made the crisis worse, but saying the crisis in itself is a fault of the present government is wrong.

A man who earns 100k monthly but struggles to feed his family suddenly gets a pay cut to 40k and he has no savings, c'mon! We don't need a soothsayer to interpret the obvious signs that there is a major crisis already at hand. Yes the man may have made some wrong choices following the slash in salary which may have added salt to an open injury, but the real culprit here is the over 60% loss in income; it would certainly take some time for the man to bounce back to his feet and his family would definitely go through severe pain in the interim.

DropShot:
Kudos to FG.

I am sure when these projects get completed and commissioned by this govt, wailing zombies will disturb us with "the projects were started by Ineffectual Buffoon and PMB is only taking his glory" among other gibberish they usually spew.

And when they were asked to name a single project started and completed by the IB in more than five years, not a single one they could mention.

Those IB's years are best erased from our history.

simpleseyi:
[s]Your family and relatives and all Wailers families will suffer more. I still have no regret voting out the ineffectual buffoon and his gang of thieves. Benin Republic would have bought over Nigeria from either ATM-Dasuki or from ex-militant Tompolo if the drunk fisherman is still drinking ogogoro in Aso Rock. But Benin Republic would not be able to have Nigeria because Asari Dokuboh and Tony Anenih would have also sold Nigeria to Togo with the help of the puff-puff cheeked World Bank fraudster and voodoo economist who supervised the looting of the nation's resources Madam NOI.

Things are very hard in the country. Prices of everything have gone up. Salaries are exhausted before the middle of the month. People are hungry and angry. The situation is pathetic. There is poverty in the land. When we had plenty, the looters refused to save for the rainy days by diversifying our economy, now we are really suffering. But, I know that hard decisions will be taken by the current government, the masses will complain more bitterly, but in no distance future, between now and the end of 2017, Nigeria will rise again. Our diversification into solid minerals and agriculture would yield abundant wealth and food for everyone. We shall see the results of today's actions. There is light at the end of the tunnel.[/s]

AND THEY SAY JONATHAN DID NOT BUY ANYTHING!

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on Tuesday said its planes consumed an average of 1.9 million litres of aviation fuel each month to fight and prosecute insurgency in the North-East. The Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Sadiq Abubakar, an Air Marshal, made the disclosure at the opening ceremony of the NAF Logistics Seminar held in Lagos.

The seminar was tagged: “Repositioning NAF logistics for Efficient Employment of Air Power in response to Contemporary National Security Imperatives’’. The ceremony was attended by the Minister of Defense, Muhammad Dan-Ali, who was represented by the Ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Danjuma Sheni. Also present was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 81 Division, Maj.-Gen. Isidore Edet; Flag Officers Commanding (FOCs) Western Naval and Logistics Commands, Rear Adm. Fergusson Bobai and Beegroy Ibe-Enwo, respectively. Air Officers Commanding (AOCs) Logistics and Tactical Commands, Air Vice Marshal Sani Ahmed and Air Marshal Muhammad Mohammed, were also present at the ceremony.

According to the CAS, the NAF has managed to continue its operations across the country despite the scarcity of aviation fuel because it was determined to ensure that no Nigerian territory was under siege.
“To support air operations in the North-East, the NAF must put an excellent plan that will ensure availability of aviation fuel in the operational area, whether the product is locally available or not.
“The service consumed an average of 1.9 million liters of aviation fuel monthly.
“The main fighter air plane we use consumes 2500 liters/hour and we fly at least two air planes at a time.
“At that consumption rate, the two consume 5000 liters every hour and we run two missions.
“So, we are talking of about 10,000 liters just for one aircraft time.
“We have so many other airplanes like the Alpha jets which consume 2400 liters/hour.
“They also fly in formation and that means about 4800 liters.
“There are other air planes that fly on daily basis.
“Our desire is to ensure no territory of Nigeria is under any threat.
“To achieve that, we must have sound logistics strategy to ensure that materials and spare parts are available when required.
“Our logisticians, therefore, must work assiduously to ensure the product is available for operation.
“In a war situation, no excuse is acceptable.
“To ensure we build capacity in logistics planning, the NAF has embarked on training and retraining both within and outside Nigeria,” he said
Abubakar said the service consistently sought ways of standardising its logistics procedures and operations in line with current global best practices.
According to him, the seminar was apt, considering the current security situation in the country which requires discipline and detailed planning.
“To address the situation, the NAF must together carefully plan a strategy not only for the movement of equipment and personnel to theatre of operations, but also for the maintenance of its air assets.
“It is only when we get the strategy right that we can hope to effectively and efficiently deploy air power necessary to address the challenges facing Nigeria,’’ he said.
In his address, Mr. Dan-Ali assured that more Boko Haram hostages would be rescued; urging security personnel who had made huge sacrifices to ensure the country stayed united.
“Combat operations against insurgents in the North-East are still ongoing.
“NAF has remained a major player in carrying out aerial bombardment leading to the destruction of Boko Haram elements’ camps and dislodging them from their strongholds within Sambisa Forest and adjoining enclaves.
“The sustained air operations have granted a greater latitude to the ground troops to rescue additional hostages mostly women and children who were abducted by the insurgents.
“Boko Haram’s will to fight has been seriously downgraded,’’ he said.

The AOC, Logistics Command, Air Vice Marshal Sani Ahmed, in his remarks lauded the CAS for his concerted efforts to enhance facilities and infrastructure of the service. He stated that the Logistics Command was poised to provide robust logistics support for the NAF fleets.
Ahmed added that they were striving to evolve a credible, responsive and responsible logistics system that would guarantee timely, effective and efficient air support in all theatres of operation.

They told me to sit on the floor, searched my bag as if their lives depended on it, took my atm cards and mobile phone. They requested for my pin under the threat of a gun and i obliged. Funny part, they had a POS machine to verify my pin. Alas, it was correct and right there they started sharing the loot, electronically. All these happened while the bus moved at break-neck speed. I even begged them to give me my SIM but they didn't.

Progressive01:
Look at the Yoruba folks commenting above, none would utter a word of support for Falae. He is accused of receiving stolen money from crooks and they are demanding he either clears his name or return the damn money!

But once it comes down to you people, you are simply programmed to support all criminals irrespective of where they come from! Why are you like this?? I just don't get it!!
