You think the 2bn is from excess in Taraba state govt? Money wey him suppose use pay part of the salaries and pensions he’s owing his what he’s using to go buy himself and his deputy outrageous car so.

Being poor doesn’t stop one from mismanaging the little he has.

BlueRayDick:
Unlimited22 do u think Ishaku and his deputy deserve this 2 billion naira worth of vehicles they are gifting themselves 2 weeks to hand over ?

Everything coming out of Taraba today just Dey vex me. 😂

TrebleChamp:
No be lie bro, you can ask people who work at Alausa during the time.

Na why I tell you say make you calm down. Say them Dey share money every Friday for Alausa na Lamba bro.

PDPGuy:
As the Supreme Court has held that INEC is not mandated to electronically transmit results from the PUs to the IREV, you have to say that Obi’s petition, on the ground, has no merit now.

However, Obi’s strongest case is the fact that INEC’s website has Obi leading in Rivers as against what was declared by the Returning Officer. But with Rivers being the only state with that anomaly (so far), I seriously doubt whether the PEPT and/or the Supreme Court would invalidate the entire election because of one state

The funny thing is that Rivers election result came out very late, almost all the other states was through with their own result before Rivers results was announced. We already knew BAT has won the election before Wike pulled his strong man stunt.

That is why till today, Rivers state is the only state they (LP) and it’s supporters keeps pointing to when they are shouting “reclaim our mandate” when election happened in 35 other states and FCT.

Whoever thinks Obi has a case in the first instance dey play ni

I know how they roll. I know legit people who have been there due to no fault of theirs. I know those who have been in and out of their too who have unclean hands .

Of course there are very corrupt elements among them but they still remain the most feared agency in the country. Even politicians and top businessmen fear them.

The current minister of transportation says before e-ticketing on Abuja - Kaduna railway, revenue was 50m a month. After introduction of e-ticketing, revenue has gone up to 500m a month.

You begin to wonder why they didn’t introduce e-ticketing on the Lagos - Ibadan route before launch. With the crowd I met the day I tried that train, that route should be making nothing less than 700m every month.

BlueRayDick:
Yinmu ! 😏

EFCC be helping themselves the most amongst law enforcement agents in this country . EFCC is worse than Nigeria Police; let’s just say they are a more educated arm of the Nigerian Police that use their exposure and education to enrich themselves more than recovering stolen loot for the government .

Magu alone during his time as EFCC chairman abandoned 14 fraud cases that involved 118billion naira and 309million dollars . What did u think happened ? He just dropped the cases because holy spiritual advised him to do so ? Magu also failed to remit 48 billion naira loot recovered by the commission.

Recently EFCC raided a lot of yahoo boys In Ogun state with videos trending online. The next day a video surfaced online claiming most of the boys arrested are back in their respective homes after paying 500k to 1m bribe for their release. I guess the EFCC boys must have learnt from their top bosses who mess up cases against big men fraudsters and fail to remit loots recovered

Just pray not to have anything to do with efcc or someone you know should have a case with them.

Na who go know Wetin Dey sup.

iamoyindamola:
That was how one claimed he can stop the rain for BBC

I’ve started that Rabbit Hole. Keifer Sutherland is who he think he is.

monerozi5590:
No organisation is 100 percent perfect but I think EFCC has been making effort in recent times.

Maina is still in jail for stealing 2.1 billion pension fund. This one ran to Niger Republic but he was picked up there.

AGF case is still in court. He was rightly suspended.

Our judiciary should be fast in rendering judgement, I know is not easy but it can be done.

I think punishment for corrupt public officials are fines, imprisonment or both. Forfeiture of assets obtained through fraudulent means also.

I said it here sometimes ago that Buhari should’ve sent back the special court bill for fast dispensation of justice after the Saraki led Senate refused to pass it. Dunno what happened.

Justice needs to be done fast to those whoever was caught stealing public funds. The lack of consequences is what is emboldening a lot of these politicians and the fact that the case can linger for several years with no end is sight till either efcc get tired of the case or something happens and they walk on technicalities.

Unlimited22:
Most of the Mambilla people are in Sardauna LGA of Taraba state.

I don't think there's light in that LGA till now.


It is possible my guy is from another tribe and has sworn that power won't get to Mambilla people. Nigerians are funny.

This is wickedness pro max. Wtf

Most of these our politicians deserve the hottest part of hell because how can you watch the state you are from suffering and you have a chance to make a difference and instead you embezzle the funds.

BlueRayDick:
Just wait till buhari leaves . The looting that has gone on under his watch and eating to be discovered will be child’s play to what happened under Jonathan.

I agree because all these news are really disheartening.

What’s even more annoying in this Saleh Mamman case is that the money he diverted was meant for the Mambilla power project.

Saleh Mamman is from Taraba, guess where the Mambilla power project is located? Taraba 😭

Man looted money meant to use to build a power project in his own state.

TrebleChamp:
I doubt it, Tinubu is known to spend government money lavishly. Tinubu that was sharing money every Friday to party faithfuls for 8 years, until Fashola came in and stop it. Maybe he will change has President, seeing how bad the economy is..

E sha ma rora. Na the same Lagos we Dey.

monerozi5590:
Emifiele might just see out his tenure. What do you think? His tenure expires May/June next year.

Tinubu might need 2/3 majority of the Senate backing to remove him. There are so many allegations that can be used to remove him. I want Tinubu to use the rule of law to remove the CBN governor unlike Jonathan.

See out which tenure? If he knows what’s good for him, he will bow out with Buhari. The DSS are hot on his trail and Buhari that’s protecting him will be gone in 18 days.

Let’s see how everything pans out sha.

Olowunl01:
And Buhari is still asking to borrow $800 million, less that 20days to the end of his 8yr tenure. Worst still Tinubu and APC are not saying nothing, so I am assuming they are in support, and would not turn arround to use the debt burden as an excuse for non performance.

Shey World Bank is mad, they should go and approve $800m loan for someone that it’s tenure ends in less than 18 days.

Moreover I thought the $800m loan was for the subsidy they wanted to remove and they have put a halt to it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Can Tinubu really reduce the cost of governance?
[/color]

No President can reduce the cost of governance. None.

Check the 2023 budget that was passed into law, look at the recurrent expenditure and tell me what you think you will cut out of it.

I don’t know if you’ve read Orosanya report of cutting the cost of governance and most of his recommendation was either merging a lot of agency that are duplicating each other work or totally scrap some agencies.

Now most of these agencies are created by law which means the first step will be to sponsor a bill to the NA to repel the act that created those agencies. Then you will have to pay off those that you will pay off (That’s if the NLC even gives you a breathing space) or you begin to face different court cases for wrongly termination and so on and so forth. Let’s not forget the public outcry that will come from the same masses shouting cost of governance when their father, mother or uncle is retrenched from the work force.

Governors that just attempt to sanitize their work force and sack some teachers, we know how it ended for them. 😂

Itsrm:
These are the people telling me they want to remove subsidy.

They should concentrate on recovering looted funds. The money should be spent on things they told us subsidy money will be used for.

When we see enough transparency here, we can start talking of subsidy.

Make the subsidy remain for now Abeg. Make Tinubu no use his early tenure to start wahala. The administration won’t recover from it.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]One billion per month

The guy never exceeded his target. [/color]

I read the news this morning and I was so pissed.

People wicked o.

BlueRayDick:
What is most important after increasing revenue is cutting cost of governance . If we like make trillions in revenue , if we keep spending as a nation at this rate ; we will end up getting poorer as a people .

The government needs to prioritize our actual needs over our wants.

I followed the sentencing of Ekweremadu and they mentioned how the man owned almost 40 houses abroad and officially he earned a little less than 400k pounds. I’m sure he must have used his various positions in house committees to help himself acquire most of those properties .

I know someone who got paid by FERMA for a job that was never done. Mr A has a relative ; Mr Q who works with FERMA. So Mr Q just requested for Mr A’s BVN, asked him to open a bank account with a micro-finance bank that partners with FERMA. The money being disbursed is under the guise of FERMA needing to construct roads in some parts of the country and they needed to contract unskilled laborers to clear bushes to allow them construct roads.

When the funds were disbursed to Mr A, he took 40% and returned 60% to Mr Q and his associates in FERMA . They had several people do this for them. Funny enough , no clearing job was done anywhere ; just money was pulled out of the system.

This is how we spend some of these funds they keep going to World bank and China to borrow . If they don’t block these leakages, we will keep borrowing and even increase revenue yet we will have little or nothing to show for it.

I’m all for cutting cost of governance but trust me no be their salaries and allowances these politicians Dey use buy all those properties. Na embezzlement of our commonwealth.

Apart from cutting wages and salaries of political holders, we need to trim the civil service and that’s where it gets tricky. Try to implement Orosanya report today and see how hard labor will kick. 80% of our recurrent expenditures are used for salaries, pensions and gratuity. In fact more workers are asking you salary review and increase (deservedly I must say) all these will just continue to over-bloat our recurrent expenditure further.

We need to aggressively increase our revenue, block leakages and promote transparency in all our revenue generating agency.

I’m also in the look out for the fiscal and monetary policy that the new administration and CBN Governor (hopefully not Emefiele) will introduce. Hopefully we won’t continue the trail and error of the outgoing administration on the economy.

Efcc arrest Saleh Mamman, the former minister of power that Buhari sacked in 2021 for a 22bn fraud.

How do you embezzle 22bn in 22 months ffs.

These guys are fûcking heartless.

BlueRayDick:

BAT must find a way to increase our revenue. Make sure we are maximizing our revenue generating avenues and plug leakages.

We can’t be earning so little and be living lavishly with loans.

Better second quarter

How are you losing by 10pts in the first quarter of a must win game.

😂😂😂

These guys are clown

If not for Cavs uselessness. Knicks doesn’t deserve to be here.

Suns should just start thinking of game 6. This one is gone.

Roland17:
A bunch of lazy and entitled idiots who from the start of the season think they will just stroll to the finals. You fools better get this series back to TD Garden for game 7. Mazzulla sounding humble during the post game is even disgusting to my ears.

Calm down boss. You guys will win game 6.

I once told a friend after last year finals that for this Celtic team to go all the way and win a ring with this rooster, they need a player like Booker or KD as the main man on the team and not Tatum.

This Denver game might actually becomes a blowout if Murray gets into groove.

The points disparity between KD and Booker and the rest of the team is too wide. Wtf

Game on

Madrid dominating this half.

olabode89:
The importance of having a lot of players that can pass the ball properly unlike the clowns wey we pack full for United.

And they seems to be very clinical. Especially in the CL.

popizaino:
Midfielder will dodge all the hurdles in the midfield
to carry ball give you inverted winger and the next thing you will do is to cut back and pass everytime.

Is that not City trademark? Cut back? You sure you Dey watch City matches at all?

That it’s not working today doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

It’s Madrid they are playing, not Chelsea 😂

olabode89:
Go sit down jare... why you no drop this during the 1st 10 mins??

Na 90mims now no be 10mins game. 😂

The confidence that everyone has that City will demolish Madrid is what’s amusing.
