Though the national elections have come and gone, the joys of victory and the agonies of defeat have been heard, there is no better time than now to X-ray how Professor Attahiru Jega and some of his men performed.
‎
If the INEC boss deserves kudos for a job well done, the same cannot be said of Ambassador Rufus Akeju, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Oyo state. The last national and state elections in the state was a sham to say the least.

To think that one would get anything different from Rufus Akeju than what we got would have been asking too much from a man who has practically sold out whatever integrity he had on the altar of avarice.

Before the elections, major political parties in the state, except the APC, made representations to the INEC chairman on why Akeju should be redeployed from the state. They cited facts and evidence that he was,at a time, a former Personal Assistant to the APC National leader Senator Bola Tinubu and a card-carrying member of the All Progressive Congress.

However, professor Jega refused to budge not minding that similar allegations were made against him in Osun state which a court of law later substantiated. Jega held his ground indicating that the INEC boss might have had other motives in Oyo state rather than free and fair elections.

Today, we have the 2015 elections in Oyo state as the worst ever conducted in the annals of the pacesetter state. An election that was skewed,from the beginning, in favor of a party.

How Akeju and his co-conspirators manage to sleep at night without an iota of guilt should be worthy of study. A deliberate act was embarked upon by the INEC to subvert the will of the people of Oyo state through a fraudulent election. 

Aside the shoddy distribution of electoral materials and voting being allowed to run into the night in most places, particularly in the national elections,systematic fraud was executed in the governorship and Houses of Assembly elections that will bring tears to the eyes. ‎

These are acts would have been practically impossible to achieve without the intervention of top INEC officials in Oyo state.

It is sad that the law gives some sort of immunity to INEC officials who are quick to make public, election results that are crooked and ask the aggrieved to go to court. 

Should any of the parties involved in the Akeju-supervised charade-labeled-elections go to the election tribunal to challenge the processes and the results of the election, it would be a miracle for some INEC staff not to spend time in jail, with Rufus Akeju leading the Pack.

It is said that some people strengthen society through a purposeful life, the reverse is the case with the Oyo REC. Come to think of it, what can one possibly expect from a man of Akeju's age who goes about with a gold chain around his neck like a  love-vendor and a peddler of cheap narcotics ? A man so close to vanity will stop at nothing to sustain his vain life style.

Ambassador Rufus Akeju has truly left a mark everywhere the soles of his feet touch. One thing that distinguishes him from others is his desire to rig elections and subvert the will of the electorate for his paymaster whose boots he licks with so much vigor that one wonders why his Tongue is not black yet.

The truth is that some of the aggrieved will go to the tribunal and the treachery of Rufus Akeju the Oyo state Resident Electoral Commissioner against the people of Oyo state will be exposed.

My utmost wish is for the hijacker of the peoples' will to be joined in the suit with INEC, in his personal capacity, for knowingly manipulating the outcome of the results of the last elections, in favor of his party as evidences abound of his willful betrayal of the mandate entrusted to him to be an impartial umpire.

Have you tried looking at Buhari's proposed policies and plans with an open mind? Please do and tell me using deductive reasoning how he proposed to reduce corruption.

Well. I would rather he tortured them in disclosing where they kept their loot and afterwards shoot them in the head EXTRAJUDICIALLY

My humble comrade, I think you're wrong to believe barcanista and all those who oppose the APC are enemies of Nigeria. That's wrong sir.

It's my utmost belief that NO ONE will be happy to see Nigeria fail; it doesn't make any sense. It's all we have, and it's our SINCERE desires that this nation takes its rightful place in the comity of nations. That's the end of all our politics, both here and offline. We're all patriots, doing our bits to see things improve, so we can move beyond the current spectrum of things.

We're NOT ENEMIES of Nigeria; we are ONLY hawking around to see NO ONE promises us what sound judgment tells us it's not feasible, given the time frame and the economic realities on ground.

We shall be happy to be proved wrong! We talk for development; we talk for progress.

Good morning Bro!

You are a joke

O can never defend my sentiments. I will admit how shallow they sound and still stand my ground because they are what I feel strongly about. But to rationalize them or try to make them reasonable to others, I will rather be dead.

GEJ is a failure #fact#
You supported him because he is SS#fact#

There is nothing wrong with the second fact, you are entitled to support whomever you like for no reason but don't ever try to rationalize it. It is an insult on your intelligence.

PassingShot:
Obiagelli, kudos to you for the effort.

Barcanista and his goons are enemies of progress and their hope that GMB's regime will fail will not happen.

GMB and his team will deliver us from 16 years of lootocracy and backward leadership of PDP.

The worst that can happen is for GMB/PYO not to achieve 100% of their campaign promises but it is not to fail woefully as the outgoing administration.

Once GMB is able to deliver up to 70% of his campaign promises in the first four years, trust Nigerians to reward him with another term.

The funny retrogressives do not even mind that GEJ did not achieve 30% of his own electoral promises and they're already out with the knives for GMB. They are sore losers!

OAM4J:
Bro am not talking of loss due to pipeline vandalisation but loss due to oil theft. The figure I gave is the estimate Madam Iweala gave.

Bevista:
Dear Barcanista,

First and foremost, let me summarize your post on subject matter:

SUMMARY
You estimate rightly, that the APC government will need to spend about N1.5trillion annually to be able to pay N5,000 to 25million unemployed persons. You also estimate that the APC government will need to spend about N373billion annually to be able to feed over 35million pupils in our primary schools. Meaning the government will need about N1.9trillion annually to service these Social Programs alone.

You mention rightly that the Federal budget for 2015 is N4.3trillion, with a total recurrent budget of N2.58trillion. You then question where the APC will get the extra N1.9trillion to service those programs.

On The Program for Unemployed
My attention has been drawn to the fact that the APC said that due to the huge cost of funding this program, they will phase it over 5years at 5million persons per year. This, therefore, puts the cost at N250billion per year.

On Feeding Primary School Pupils
Secondly you estimate that there are around 35million pupils enrolled in our primary schools. That figure, definitely includes private and public secondary schools. You can be sure that the government will only focus their program on public primary school pupils which may not account for more than 20million pupils. In this case, the government will only need about N210billion (i.e. using your N10,667/pupil estimate)

So you see, to service both programs, the government will only require about 450billion as against your estimate of N1.9trillion

On The Budget & How To Fund The Social Programs
So, where would the government get this extra money to fund these programs when our total budget is only about N4.3trillion. You will recall that Buhari has said in different fora that he intends to fund his programs from blocking wastages and mismanagement in the system. How does he hope to achieve this?

Now, even by admission of the GEJ government, Nigeria looses about 400k barrels of crude per day through theft/illegal bunkering. At $50/bbl, this translates to $20million/day and around $7.3billion/year. At the current exchange rate of N200/$, this will translate to about N1.46trillion. The federal government share (i.e. 52%) of this figure will be about N760billion.

It might also interest you to note that the NNPC does not remit proceeds of crude oil sales directly to the Federation account until they have finished deciding what to spend and what to remit – thus giving room for all manner of misappropriation and fraud. You can be rest assured that in this government, all sales from crude oil will first and foremost land in the Federation Account and the NNPC will have to present a budget like every other government agency/parastatal. While it is not clear how much can be saved here, I am pretty sure we will be talking about 100s of billions.

The government shall also be more efficient in getting remittances from FIRS, NPA, Nigerian Customs etc to boost government revenue.

So by my estimate, the minimum Nigerian Federal Budget should ideally be in the region of N5.5 – N6trillion annually, thus giving the government enough latitude to do more. I’m sure you will see this starting from the 2016 budget. With a GDP of over $500billion and a population of over 170million, this budget is still too small. To put things in perspective, South Africa has a GDP of about $350billion and a population of about 45million, yet they have an annual budget in excess of N20trillion. Clearly, there are so many loopholes in the Nigerian system, making it difficult to capture most of the accruable revenue to the government.

In summary, I am pretty confident that this government has the credibility and commitment to perform remarkably well. Even if we do not support or trust them, let's atleast give them the benefit of doubt. While I am not a big fan of such Social Programs, I think it is economically feasible.

Yours Truly,
Bevista

doctokwus:
Thank you.No one is saying some of d social programs ain't ambitious and that along d line,all may not be achieved as stated during d campaign stops, but for anyone to dismiss it outrightly or to believe that Nigeria cannot run a social welfare program for a fraction of our population is being callous,vindictive and mischievous.
We should not forget that fuel subsidy itself is a welfare program and d GEJ govt was spending at a point almost a trillion annually and this went into d pockets of elites with no trickle down benefit to the economy,yet Nigeria did not collapse.

jibbish:
one good thing about nairaland politics is that it opens your mind to some critical thinking in the right direction. am of the opinion that GMB will perform. all PDP stalwarts can start looking from outside and see APC perform the same magic that was performed in Lagos that made it an envy of other states.

kenonze:
Did u vote for GMB?
The ans is NO.
Why are u worried about his promises.
Na we vote am,
We no dey complain weda e do am or not.
What we are interested is simple.......
1: kill corruption
2: fix our roads and dying school system.
3: electricity

Every other thing shall fall in place.
We are nigeria.
We are not lazy.
He shld just give us the aforementioned, we gonna sort other things out

Obiagelli:
I already did that. Fg gets 52%

Obiagelli:
Officially, Nigeria exports 2 million barrels of crude oil
daily. At the current price of 60 US dollars per barrel, that
translates into 120 million US dollars.

120 million x 365day = 43,800,000,000

43 billion dollars @ 60% ( rumoured sharing formula between Nigeria and oil companies)

That means Nigeria makes 25.8 billion dollars annually.

$25.8 billion x 200 naira = 5.1 trillion naira.


Nigeria's 2014 budget was N4.6 trillion meaning we still have about 0.5 trillion naira change.
www.channelstv.com/2014/04/09/nigerian-senate-passes-4-6-trillion-naira-2014-budget/


FEDERAL INLAND REVENUE

Nigeria generated N4.69tn Revenue in 2014

www.thisdaylive.com/articles/firs-generates-n4-69tn-revenue-in-2014/200484/

Adding N4.69 trillion (firs) + 5.1 trillion (crude oil) = 9.79 trillion.

If our budget was N4.6 trillion then we have a balance of 5.1 trillion naira that nobody accounts for.

Barcanista asked where we will find 1.8 trillion to take care of our most vulnerable citizens, this balance of 5.1 trillion will be taken away from the pockets of criminals and militants.

EDIT.


I forgot the FG gets 52% of total income, even at that we have a balance of 0.6 trillion naira which is sufficient for the first stage of the social programs.
The APC government has said one of its major income earners is the mining industry.

This plans with financial discipline is very much achievable.

Please note that my analysis is based our major source of income ( oil and taxes), i have not touched other income earnings.
