The former governor nah correct man.

He try for this country.

Old age sickness she needs old age care from her people.

Her people should be preparing for amala and gbegiri thing.

What a destroyed country.

The man's family should take ndlea to court.

Madam Tonto.

Yeah, OP. It is unfortunate.

Blacks are backward people. African countries have unfit leaders. Leaders that are insincere, corrupt and dishonest to their people.

nigeria despite has everything to be great still swimming in poverty, retrogression, cluelessness, and other negative things you can think of.

Africa is a continent where it is very rear to see great leaders.

Kai.

God creates what he likes.

The country that failed to modernised.

Some said the stable electricity is due to high water level during raining season.

Funny thread.

Ordinary people across the country are the victims of one nigeria. The politicians and other "leaders" are the only beneficiary of one nigeria hence they are the ones who want it. Common people gain nothing for being citizens of the country. A country that is deliberately destroyed by few people.

Hello sir.

olajorn:
I lost hope in every politician

Gbam.

The governor never done anything like that before and this is his second term, the story is one kind.

elampiro:
2014 Capital Expenditure budget was 1.4 trillion.
2015 Capex is about 400 billion.

In December 2014 Ngozi Okonjo Iweala announced that Capex had been cut from 1.4 trillion in 2014 budget to 627 billion . By February 2015 NOI again reduced the Capex budget to 387billion naira.

And we were told only 33 of 210 ongoing projects were provisioned for in 2015 budget.

Senate: Nigeria to Run 2015 Budget in Deficit

15 Jan 2015

... Leading debate on the bill, Senate Leader, Victor Ndoma-Egba, said the budget of N4.357 trillion comprised N2.6 trillion as recurrent expenditure, N627 billion capital expenditure, N943 billion for debt service and N411 billion for statutory transfers.

He also said the document was predicated on $65 oil benchmark, projected oil production of 2.2782 million barrels per day and an exchange rate of N165 to $1.
Ndoma-Egba said the budget would focus on job creation through increasing economic diversification and leakages, roads, power, gas and aviation.

... While recalling that the capital expenditure contained in the 2014 budget was N1.4 trillion when compared with N627 billion in the current estimates, Makarfi described the estimates as "austerity budget" [/b]and insisted that the current economic downturn is a wake-up call on Nigeria to stop relying on oil "which is highly volatile and look for other areas of getting money."

....The benchmark for 2014 budget was $77.50 per barrel but oil sold for over $118 per barrel. Where is the excess crude share of the federal government? We are guilty because I raised an alarm that money from the excess crude account should not be expended without the consent of the National Assembly.

Again, FG Cuts 2015 Capital Spending as Oil Price Slump Bites
[b]
05 Feb 2015

.. The document, seen by Reuters, puts capital expenditure at N387 billion or 8.9 per cent of total spending of N4.357 trillion.

This is a significant drop from the 2014 spending plans, when capital expenditure (capex) accounted for 23.7 per cent of projected government outlays.
One industry source said Ministry of Works disbursements for a major highway were less than 3 per cent of the project’s value.

“At this rate it will take 33 years to complete,” the source said.

... The same source put layoffs nationwide at 20,000, while another said at least 5,000 had been let go in the Abuja area alone, a worry for President Jonathan ahead of the election, when he faces an opponent accusing him of squandering revenues from high oil prices over the previous three years.

(4) 2015 Budget: No provision for road maintenance – FG

Onolememen lamented that in view of the lean allocation for the Ministry in the 2015 Budget, that out of the Ministry’s portfolio of about 210 ongoing road and bridge projects, only 33 have been provided for and the provisions are insufficient to encourage the contractors to sustain appreciable progress of works on site

Senators were shocked on Monday when the Minister of Works, Mike Onolememen, revealed that there is no provision for bad roads in the 2015 Budget proposal.
The Minister made this known while defending the Federal Road Maintenance Agency budget before the Senate Committee on Works.
Onolememen said FERMA will get zero allocation for its capital votes in the 2015 budget proposal.
According to the Minister: “Aside the ministry’s capital budget proposal slashed from the projected N100 billion to just N11 billion by the Ministry of Finance in view of economic realities on ground, zero allocations were made for capital projects of FERMA and office of Surveyor-General of the Federation.”
Onolememen lamented that in view of the lean allocation for the Ministry in the 2015 Budget, that out of the Ministry’s portfolio of about 210 ongoing road and bridge projects, only 33 have been provided for and the provisions are insufficient to encourage the contractors to sustain appreciable progress of works on site.
“No provisions have been made for other departments of the Ministry such as Road and Bridge Design Departments, Mechanical and Electrical Department as well as Service Department,” he added.http://theeagleonline.com.ng/2015-budget-no-provision-for-road-maintenance-fg/

Just a reminder how we got here.

Hmmmm.

PDP was a curse to nigeria. 16 years of senselessness.

Hmmm

Hmmmmm

Hmmmmmmmm

nigeria, a country where everything is upside down.

Aregbesola does not fear God Almighty.

He should pay the workers their salaries, people are dying of no money to attend to their lifes.

Good for them. They should turn their region to paradise and be a good example for other regions to follow.

anwo247:
Buahri is a failure. Funny enough, it will still take some more time for some followers to know.

But gladly, a lot have realized the mistake of voting the dullard.

The expectation from this apc government has been lowered, but voting out evil minded pdp that destroyed this country for 16 years was the best step forward for nigerians.

Likewise if apc government fails nigerians will stand up firmly against them.

Unfortunate.

nigeria is a bad country.

Those actors supposed to be swimming in real money, but nigeria is a non functioning country.

Adieu.

You contributed your own part to move the country forward.

If I die in that kind of situation I would be very happy.

They died as the guests of Allahu watahalah.

Backward country.

They have different mentality.

Hmmm

Yiibos never think of forming their own country except talking of biafra that include south south people.

Social media is changing things.

Many people are coming out for being raped.

That means there would be in-numerable of rape cases in nigeria yearly if people can be bold like that.

But before before what the professor did, the lady would just keep it to herself.

Yiiboss have bad leaders.

Biafra would just be another useless african country.

Reading through this thread gives headache, thread on economic thing.

The actors are just dey sufer and sufer, no money.

What a country!

Funny.

I just dey think where he jammed lithuania girl?
Anyway sha they are also in every part of the world.

People are still dying of inhaling CO in 2015. nigeria is not a country but a forest.

In just 16 years more than 20-30 billion dollars have been spent on providing regular electricity, but its in futility.

In this 54 years of nigeria, those useless leaders takes the country for granted because one nigeria is a country that belongs to nobody.
