Politics / Re: FG Pays Oil Marketers 407bn To End Fuel Scarcity by irondome: 5:24pm On Dec 10, 2015
keally:
. This Bubu apshit will not stop deceiving Nigerians. Anyway, they are deceiving those that willing chose to be deceived. GEJ removed subsidy 2012 Jan 1st, you guys, brainwashed lots, anti-Jonathan mobs were mobilized to Ojota for 12days, eating and dancing being entertained by your slavemasters. Today the fuel subsidy has come to hunt them and they are blaming GEJ again. Now I ask, if this one is arrears of GEJ's debt what about 297 billion that was paid before? When will Buhari's regime start paying their own debts. Some Nigerians are so gullible and easy-to-be-deceived. They will keep blaming GEJ till the end of their tenure with nothing to show.

I don't how your post addresses some of the points I raised.

Did the states government acrue several months of salary in debt at the tail end of GEJ tenure? YES

Did Buhari come to the rescue of the states? YES. GEJ was too pre-occupied with his re-election to be bothered.

Did GEJ leave a huge pile of outstanding subsidy payment unsettled until handover. YES

Did the FG pay the outstanding debt on subsidy dated back to 2014 financial year? YES

Did crude oil sell for >$100p/b for the greater part of GEJ's tenure? YES

Is oil selling for about $40p/b now? YES

If the so call dullard could pull up these rescues in spite of the falling revenue; I would be happy to have the bubu govern for another 7years.

knostbrown01:
I tot Bubu said, dere is nothing like subsidy before

The bulk of payment included arrears amassed by GEJ since 2014.

Putting this in the right perspective, it's simply yet another case of Buhari cleaning up GEJ mess after salary debt crisis.

Honestly, if it's taking a Buhari, who sold oil at $40p/b to offset a debt acrued by a GEJ, who sold the same oil at over $100(for over 4years); it's really a shame on GEJ

Anyone still thinks Dasuki is being witchhunted for his role in the 1984 coup?

I am quite sure GEJ himself shivers anytime he reads of the billions stollen under his watch. If only he could go back in time, am sure he would have done most things differently.

It's so funny that she is crying for her husband's release in respect of her pregnancy. And to imagine that some innocent but naïve ones lost their precious lives on the same cause.

Unfortunately, I don't see any scenario how Kanu would escape a very extensive jail term; atleast, not with Buhari still in power.

The fact is APC winning the south south states is not even enough to douse the struggle.. Because the people at the helm of affairs in the eastern states are not even in support of the struggle. The struggle has never been about the elites but the common man...

In fact the more APC is making it a do or die affair to capture these states, the more the neutrals will be more sympathetic to the biafra struggle..

This should give the public an idea of those involved in the killing and wounding of innocent citizens. APC in their foolishness knew it was over and they wanted to rig the whole of Southern Ijaw, that was the last card they wanted to play and they played it without shame. If INEC had not cancelled the election in that local government area, the public would have seen result like this PDP 2190 APC 54260.

But little did they forget that this is Bayelsa and not Kogi. The smallest state in the country with the most stubborn set of people any tribe can boast of. They whole state would have been burnt down by now had INEC gone ahead and accepted Sylva's Southern Ijaw result.

In Dickson, Sylva met more than a match. This wasn't something he bargained for...



In my own opinion, I think APC is making capturing south south states a do or die affair to douse the biafra struggle. They can't allow a continued political alliance between SE and SS. I envisage a similar stiff struggle would be witnessed in Rivers and Akwa Ibom

Politics / Re: Murray-Bruce Gives Widows Half Of His Wardrobe Allowance (Pics) by irondome: 11:47am On Dec 06, 2015
hush15:


Hmmm! You still getting it wrong. When the issue of wardrobe allowance came up. That was what he promised. He promise to donate half and he did. Of course, that is not part of ongoing project for his constituency, Of course he does that even before he ventured into politics. That I know much and can stand for. That's how he got to the senate anyway, unopposed. The fact is he promised and delivered. The current FG is yet to even set the table, not mention deliver the foods they promise and the economy keeps plummeting by the day. Rather deliver the deliverables, they chasing shadows and witch hunting at the expense of the economy.

As regards what you term as show offs, hope you know his entourage is not up to 5 people. Him, his security aide, his media aide, his personal assistant, and a representative of his constituency office to receive him. This is not a show off from my own perspective. He is a successful technocrat who has paid his dues in the entertainment industry. He is the spear head of beauty pageants in nigeria and now, the cinemas, don't forget the Domino's. . If he wants publicity, he has the whole apparatus. So, it is not a show off. It's all in the fun of a days work.

Back to law making, you talk about law making and knowing you onions. You didn't capture the politics aspect n I want to believe you a Nigerian. I won't say much here but you and me know that it's easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle than laws to pass understanding the political terrain of Nigeria. If you watch or listen to his stations, you did know he make not just sense but commonsense. Given the opportunity, I say he can contribute to Nigeria positively and though I also don't think he is working on 2019, should he surface, I won't think twice to give him that opportunity.


Nice points. It would be nice if he toned down his publicity stunt anyway. It's of little significance showing us a "Bruce on an Okada"; a picture of him making the donation would have sufficed. It's no different from a Fayose showing us a picture of himself as a fish-cutter.

That is where Jonathan is more acceptable to the Buhari. I am not implying Jonathan is corrupt, so you don't get it wrong, neither am I implying corruption is commendable however, if we look at this way, A thief or corrupt person who steals but still have the conscience to let you live is way better than a thief who takes and even violate, if not kill you along with it.

There may be corruption during Jonathan's time, but I can bet anything that economic cash flow was way better than it is now. Though they say no money but money circulation under Jonathan was very fluid. One way or the other, source never ran dry.

Today, with all the blocking of leaks and reducing cost of governance to retrieving all stolen funds and TSA program, the economy is seriously experiencing severe economic cash crunch. Cash flow has gone all time low and no one should tell me it due to fall in Oil price because this dispensation has a thing for dashing states money and junketing up and down. Unemployment is steadily on the rise and one man is heaping wealth for his party members to come lavish, cos he won't be there forever and obviously, another candidate from his party will want to continue.


So sad

You are talking of cash flow towards the end of an election year. Haba, think am now. The out-gone government obviously dipped their hands too deeply into our treasury to fund their failed re-election, leaving the country utterly broke. Remember, the FG had to quickly organize bail out funds for several states before they could pay common salary. Mind you, the debts were amassed during Jonathan's tenure, an evidence of poor management of our funds during the oil boom (>$100 per barrel)

That being said, I opine that cash flow would greatly improve in the new year when the new budget is implemented. Hopefully, there would be less mismanagement.

No, don't think like that. Don't forget, his primary responsibility is first to his constituency cos he represents them on behalf of the federal government. More importantly, making laws is not straight forward, especially when you are in the minority. You even need the consent of the minority leader to push it further to the whole house. He is a senator, not all the senators, not a principal officer in the Senate and not the senate deputy or president. It is a rigorous process. So many convincing to do.

We need to commend a good deed cos when we do, better things will gravitate towards us, as individuals and as a country. He promised and he fulfilled. That's very Honorable and worthy to mention. Not some that promised heaven and earth, yet they keep giving excuse upon excuse why they haven't meet up.

What he did is commendable. If they haven't given your voice an opportunity in the Senate Chambers, atleast, his voice should be felt back at home cos when he is done, home is where he will go to.

He is indeed the face of a new breed of politicians we should be embracing. People who are honourable and so far, Though it might sound biased, PDP has been that honourable in democratic terms

1. He didn't have to show us his means of transportation to his constituents. Yesterday, it was a rickety boat; today, an Okada; tomorrow, may be via trekking. I call it showmanship, which I dislike as most show men end up not doing so much.

2. His little fund could have been better invested in "little" capital projects (portable water, etc) that addresses collective need of a community as against handing little fry of fishes to minute needy. I based this on my opinion that social benefits and welfare packages are good deeds and luxury that our leaders (all strata of governance) can't afford at the moment. For instance, I do not subscribe to the whole nonsense of "paying 5million needy #5000" at the cost of #1.3 trillion Naira per annum when our infrastructure are non-existence and are need aggressive collective investments at all levels. Same goes for our industries. If we make the right investment now, the needy among us would be rightly catered for tomorrow through jobs created by our investments.

3. If you know your onions and your bills are well researched, getting support comes easy. Unfortunately, many of our law makers are too lazy for such. For instance, Ben Bruce hails from a region where the FG has paid very little attention to environmental degradation in spite of it being the current "cash cow" of this nation. I would like to see a Bruce remind the senate on the environment clean up bill Buhari recently revisited. Buhari's instruction was made 4 months ago and I bet nothing has been done on that.

In own opinion, Mr Bruce has a 2019 presidential ambition and he is trying too hard to position himself at the expense of getting nagging issues addressed. My take is, -- if Ben Bruce genuinely works hard, he would be needing less of showmanship against 2019.
Politics / Re: Murray-Bruce Gives Widows Half Of His Wardrobe Allowance (Pics) by irondome: 7:08am On Dec 06, 2015
He is trying too hard to impress. I would rather he focused on his law making function, as well as attracts life changing capital projects to his constituency.

Politics / MTN Sees $5.2bn Nigerian Fine Reduced By A Third by irondome: 1:40pm On Dec 03, 2015
Africa's largest mobile operator, MTN, has succeeded in its bid to reduce a $5.2bn £3.4bn) fine imposed by Nigerian authorities for failing to cut off unregistered users.

Nigeria wants mobile phone companies to verify the identity of their customers.

The government says it is concerned unregistered Sim cards are being used by criminal gangs.

The South African company has been in talks with authorities since October when the original fine was imposed.

It said on Thursday it had succeeded in reducing the fine by a third.

The original fine amounted to double MTN's annual profits last year.

Since it was imposed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), MTN has made a number of senior managerial changes, which included the resignation of the chief executive of its Nigerian unit, Sifiso Dabengwa.

"After further engagements with the Nigerian authorities, the NCC has reduced the imposed fine," MTN said in a statement. It added the fine was now $3.4bn.
