Next level pain for the Nigerian people. Government must increase revenue at all cost even Nigerian people are not that paramount to them. Dear defenders, you can come forward to do your obligatory.
Like your hypocrite bubu abi. Stop deceiving yourself unnecessarily, all politicians in Nigeria are corrupt. They are deceivers not genuine ones. Pls, get that to your skull.
GodSaklek: It's good to show respect to the elders,they are ready to work together,this time around, it will be very easy for buhari to convince both houses to reduce their salaries,especially those bonuses for the benefit of the country, and they can use that money to help unemployed graduates in the country
Stop deceiving yourself bro, politicians know nothing about your existence. Cutting salary my foot.
RZArecta2: Liar Mohammed wants to distract us from the fact that he has been fingered in a 2.5 billion naira scandal, idïot goat
God bless you my brother. The man 'lai' is in ICPC net for signing a 2.5 billion naira contract oo and he's saying rubbish. Is he not corrupt too? and my people are already falling into that trash. Old man for that matter.
Dannyset: It is a big joke to see an Elder statesman would fall for this social media gimmicks of Atiku restructuring Nigeria. While am not against his advice, I still think he should know that it is not the sole responsibility of the President to do that.
To begin with, the National assembly as at today, whether we like it or not is indirectly controlled by Saraki and Dogara even before they defected to the PDP. And these two from the on set have been against this government policies. So, those clamouring for restructuring should have taken the advantage and start through them(National assembly). Saraki himself even made mockery of Atiku openly, saying those promising restructuring should not be trusted as they can't do it without the legislative arm of government.
Another point is, Buhari cannot be bullied to do what is not his agenda simply because one failed party is fielding a candidate that is taunting some people with what is constitutionally rigid to achieve.
My own view is, if you want restructuring, lobby your Senates and Reps. Let them fly bills that are pro-restructuring, then you will really know those who are truly against it. Please, let's be realistic in our submission and apply little sense. Not all bills are been assented by the president thereby not making into law. Please, let's defend the pay master will cogent proof.
Okwyjesus: He don't know what he's saying. Sariki's calculation when he shot the upper house is perfect. By now many APC senators are not happy with the party and cannot fight for Sariki's impeachment. Magnus Abe, Hope Uzodinma .etc
soji akanbi, ashafa, borofice from Osun, and one from abeokuta among others. Impeaching Saraki my foot.
Nijablog: Barely hours after the official declaration of the Ekiti state governorship election results, a man who purportedly believe that PDP losing obviously means his permanent voters card (PVC) is useless in 2019 destroys it.
buhariguy: i have never see corruption in this government. If there is any, point it out, Everybody is complaining of no money, even rich corrupt people before, even Yahoo boys, That is how to view the fight against corruption, Not when each MDAs have 20 account, wasting corrupt money met for development. See how buhari has improve all sector of the economy. insecurity is now only limited to herdsmen bandit and cattle rustlers. On foreign reserve, buhari met $29.5b but today is $48b. No money is missing now, unlike before, Nobody is sharing unspent budget every Christmas now, the money remains in TSA .
You forgot to tell us what this government had borrowed. Continue deceiving yourself bro.
Quickjobs: The Peoples Democratic Party, Ekiti Chapter has blasted Kayode Fayemi, for shunning the palace of the Ewi of Ado Ekiti, Oba Rufus Adejugbe, during the mega rally held on Tuesday.
The party said it was obvious that the APC did not have respect for the traditional institution.
“It is obvious that APC as a party does not have respect for the traditional institution.”
The Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation in a statement by its Director of Media and Publicity, Lere Olayinka, said it was the height of disrespect for the traditional institution for Fayemi to have told the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, that it was not necessary for him and other APC governors that came to pay homage to the traditional ruler of Ado Ekiti, the state capital. He said;
“It is, however, not a surprise that Fayemi made his guests, especially the Vice President to shun the palace of Ewi of Ado Ekiti, because he cannot point to any major landmark achievement of his four years reign as governor. For four years, Fayemi promised to complete the amphitheatre in the palace of Ewi, he never did.
“The hall where Fayemi and his guests would have been received and the amphitheatre where his supporters would have seated were built by the PDP government of Governor Ayodele Fayose.”
Responding to the accusation, the Director of Media and Publicity, Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation, Mr. Wole Olujobi, said the PDP had run out of ideas by delving into an issue that did not add value to its campaign.
“Kayode Fayemi Campaign Organisation is focusing on issues of development and good life for Ekiti people among who are the obas.
“It is on record that Dr. Kayode Fayemi, few days ago, set up a high-power delegation to visit the obas in their palaces and the delegation has almost completed its assignment. The plan is that by the time the delegation completes the first round of visits, Fayemi will take the last lap of visits before the election.
“This is Fayemi that bought brand new cars for all the obas, rehabilitated their palaces, increased their allowances, instituted a free health service called “Ilera Laafin” for all the obas and never allowed the obas to stay in the sun for late hours waiting to receive him.”
“The Ewi of Ado-Ekiti, who Fayose and his anointed son are defending today, suffered the humiliation of threat of dethronement. Oba Adejugbe Aladesanmi became the victim of ceaseless media attacks with Fayose setting various traps for the monarch to dethrone him.”

Are you sure your brain is still intact because you are suffering of ibeberism?
Governor Fayose of Ekiti State has told his critics to shut up because they are not of the same age. The governor said that he is a big boy like Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, former governor of Abia State and Tinubu whom he said they have ruled the country at same time. He stated this during the commissioning of new governor's office.
Fayose is owing salaries like other states e.g Oyo,Ogun,Osun(half salary),Ondo except Lagos state.No amount of propaganda on owing salaries will work this time around. We have had enough of empty promises.
dammy13: The Kolapo Olusola Campaign Organisation (KOCO) the campaign organization of the Ekiti state deputy governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Prof Kolapo Olusola has told the governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, to face governance in his state instead of “wasting public funds” on the Ekiti State governorship election, which it said the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi can never win.
The campaign organization, which described Governor Akeredolu’s coming to Ekiti to market Fayemi as “a failure advertising another failure,” reiterated that “Ekiti is not a state to be taken by force and annexed to Ondo State by anyone. We have never served a foreign god and we are not going to start now.”
KOCO insisted, in a statement issued on Monday by its Director of Media and Publicity, Lere Olayinka, that the Ondo State governor must be held responsible for the alleged invasion of Ekiti State with thugs and over 150 armed policemen on Friday, leading to the shooting at the APC secretariat and Ojumose area of Ado-Ekiti that left many people injured.Kudos to PDP on this realistic exposure. PDP is wining Ekiti as it won oyo state by-election. No room for propaganda again,what we need is good governance. There is hunger in the land.
Olayinka asked; “Is Governor Akeredolu now happy with himself that after he led thugs and armed policemen to Ekiti in support of Fayemi, nine people are in hospital, three in critical condition, including Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele and Ekiti State is now in the news for
negative reasons?”
The statement read; “We wish to draw the attention of Nigerians to the involvement of the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu in the plot by the APC to unleash terror on Ekiti and its people as part of the grand plot to forcefully take over the State, having realized that the party’s cannot regain power through the ballots.
“Last week Friday, Governor Akeredolu mobilized over 150 armed policemen and several thugs from Akure, Ondo State to accompany the APC governorship candidate, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to Ado Ekiti, thereby throwing Ekiti State that has been peaceful since the advent of Governor Ayodele Fayose’s government into chaos.
“The thugs were led by one Jacob Adebo (popularly known Idajo), who is the Chairman of the National Union of Transport Workers (NURTW) in Ondo State. This same Idajo was allegedly involved in the various attacks on Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele in 2014, especially on September 19, 2014 when his political movement, Bibiire Coalition was launched in Ado Ekiti.
“These thugs brought to Ekiti courtesy of Governor Akeredolu were the ones that went on rampage at Ojumose area of Ado Ekiti on Friday, destroying canopies and chairs in front of the residence of late Prince Adegoke. One of the Teargas canisters fired by the policemen that accompanied the thugs hit a Taxi driver, Odeyemi Olumide badly injuring him. He is now receiving treatment at the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital, alongside others who were shot at the APC secretariat.
“Backed by Governor Akeredolu, Idajo had early last month attempted to cause disharmony among drivers in Ekiti State by attempting a takeover of the unions by a dissident group.
“It should be noted that the Ondo State Governor had reportedly boasted that he was ready to spend two months allocation of his State to ensure that Fayemi is imposed on the people of Ekiti, and we wish to ask what his interest is.
“However, let it be said expressly that if he likes, he can deploy one year income of Ondo State to finance Fayemi’s election, it will lead to failure because Ekiti people cannot be bought by anyone.”
While telling the Ondo governor to devote his attention and resources to restoring good governance in his state, Olayinka said; “Instead of devoting his time and resources to the Ekiti election, which Dr. Fayemi; his stooge can never win, shouldn’t Governor Akeredolu be concerned with at least, returning Ondo State to how he met it in 2017? Or does it gladden his heart that all the good things his government met in the State have been destroyed to the extent that pregnant women had to go on the streets to protest against the astronomical increase in the cost of delivery?
“More than 15 months as governor, Akeredolu cannot boast of a single achievement in Ondo State apart from commissioning billboards. Yet, his priority is sponsoring thugs to Ekiti with millions of naira.
“Workers are still being owed months of unpaid salaries, despite huge resources accruing to Ondo State from the federation account. Forinstance, workers at the State owned polytechnic, Rufus Giwa Polytechnic are being owed 10 months salary.
“Also, in Ondo State under Governor Akeredolu, the farm of elder statesman, Chief Olu Falae and several other indigenes of Ondo State were attacked by herdsmen, while he looked the other way.
“Therefore, Governor Akeredolu coming to Ekiti to market Fayemi is like a failure advertising another failure, it won’t work!
“Let it be reiterated that Ekiti is not a state to be taken by force
and annexed to Ondo State by anyone. We have never served a foreign god and we are not going to start now.
“The governor should be reminded that this is Ekiti of 2018, which is under a competent leader, Ayo Fayose, not that of 2010 when he used his position to influence the Appeal court judgment in favour of Fayemi.
“Therefore, it is our counsel that Governor Akeredolu should leave Ekiti people alone to choose their leader. He should face governance in Ondo State that has retrogressed since he assumed office.”
Enough of all this show of shame. Let ekiti people decide and go back to your state to pay off your worker backlogs of salaries instead of heating up the polity.
You just harass yourself. You ought to respect your Creator and family. Though, I learnt my lessons from your down fall. Men, we need to be extra ordinary careful and seeking God's face always. God will lead us aright.

Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi has reacted to reports that thugs allegedly sponsored by him destroyed the APC secretariat in Rivers state, putting a halt to the state APC congress last Saturday.
In a video obtained by PoliticsNGR, Amaechi denied the allegations describing them as 'Untrue'. He also took a swipe at the Governor of Rivers state, Nyesom Wike describing him as a 'fearful' man.
He disclosed that Wike ordered hotels in the state to stop accepting APC Guests.
Please settle with the aggrieved members of your party first sir. Wike is not in your party, so why calling him a fearful man. Settle with magnus abe because he reported you to the world. Nigerians now know better because this sufferness is too much, enough of propaganda.
Why all this now? Is it because of 2019 election? Achievement without tangible thing to quantify it $463 million. Hmm, I smell lies as usual. Only the lazy ones will believe this empty achievement.

She added that Malbec wine is the most important wine producing region in the country with over 80% of Malbec wines, it is going to create jobs opportunities in Nigeria, we are also working a lot with Nigerian Farmers to see how we can boost bilateral relations in both countries
While acknowledging the challenges of youth restiveness and unemployment, She stressed the need for stakeholders to confront the challenge with innovative thinking, using Argentina wines.
The celebration commemorates the day that the Argentina President Domingo Faustino Sarmiento asked agronomist Michel Aime Pouget, also known as Miguel Pouget to bring new varieties to Argentina. Among them the Malbec was found.
