So we cant receive money into Nigeria tru penpal again Wont this affect our economy?

freeze001:
I’m usually taken aback whenever officers of the present APC administration release statements and interviews to sermonise Nigerians on how PDP administration has destroyed Nigeria for 16years and how they are working on fixing the mess created by PDP.

It is non-contestable that between May 29, 1999 and May 29, 2015, “PDP”(in quote) occupied the seat of power in Abuja and control majority states in the federation.

However, we have to get our fact right with respect to “who destroyed Nigeria between 99 and 2015”. I believe we should do a holistic analysis on this subject.

PRESIDENTS AND VICE BETWEEN 1999 – 2015:

Nigeria had three presidents between May 29, 1999 and May 29, 2015.
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Late Mallam Umaru Yar’adua and Dr Goodluck Jonathan. Of the three, Obasanjo spent eight years in office(1999-2007), Yar’adua three years (May 2007-May 2010) and Dr Jonathan five years (May 2010-May 2015).

Obasanjo with highest number of time spent (Eight years) denounced PDP to become APC and Buhari’s navigator to office. Similarly, of the three vice presidents between the period, Atiku Abubakar spent the most number of years in office (Eight, 1999-2007).

He not only moved to AC/APC while in office in 2006, he also aspired to rule Nigeria on APC platform in 2014 and is a member of APC’s Board of Trustees.

SPEAKERS OF HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE BETWEEN 1999-2015:

Between 1999 and 2015 Nigeria had six Speakers of Federal House of Representative.

They are Salisu Buhari (June -July 1999), Ghali Na’aba (July 1999-June 2003), Aminu Bello Mansari (June 2003-June 2007), Madam Patricia Etteh (June 2007-November 2007), Dimeji Bankole (Nov 2007-June 2011) and Waziri Tambuwal (June 2011-June 2015).

Of all Six former Speakers, FOUR are members of APC (Na’aba, Mansari, Etteh and Tambawal) with a combined period of TWELVE YEARS in office out of the sixteen years. Mansari and Tambawal are APC Governors of Katsina and Sokoto states respectively.

PROMINENT GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS:

Nasir Elrufai was DG Bureau for Public Enterprise and Secretary of National Council on Privatisation between 1999 and 2003. He later became minister of FCT between 2003 and 2007. As DG BPE and Secretary of NCP, he supervised the privatisation of NEPA, NITEL etc..ALL were emershed in controversy.

By virtue of his office, Atiku Abubakar was the Chairman of NCP between 1999 and 2007. Both men supervised the privatisation of public companies for the period. They are APC members.

Danjuma Goje, was the minister of state for power between 1999 and 2003. Rabiu Kwankwaso was minister of Defence between 2003 and 2007. Both are members of APC BoT and Senators.
Samuel Orthom served as minister of state, trade and investment between 2011 and 2015. Nasir Elrufai was minister of FCT between 2003 and 2007. They are now Governors of Benue and Kaduna states respectively. Should we wash all these away?

STATE ADMINISTRATIONS BETWEEN 1999-2015:

Between 1999 and 2015, Gombe has had three Governors, Abubakar Hashidu (4years), Danjuma Goje (8years) and Ibrahim Dankwambo (4years). Both Hashidu and Goje are members of APC. That is a combined 12years.

In Kwara state, all governors since 1999 are APC members save late Lawal who ruled under APP.

In Anambra state, ex-Govs Mbadiniju (4years), Nwabuweze Chris Ngige (3years), and Peter Obi(8years) were Governors. Mbadinuju and Ngige are APC members. That is a combined 7years between 1999-2014. PDP Obi held sway for 8 years.

Similarly, in Benue state, George Akume was held sway from 1999-2007 (and Senator 2007 till date). He is an APC chieftain.

All Governors of Osun state between 1999 till date are APC members. Also in Ekiti state, of the 16 years, PDP’s Fayose only had four. Otunba Niyi Adebayo (4years), Segun Oni (3 years) and Fayemi (4years) are BoT members of APC.

In Abia state, Uzo Kalu that held sway between 1999 to 2007 is a Chief of APC. APC governors have been in power in Lagos state all through the period.

In Zamfara state, APC Govs held sway for TWELVE out of the 16years.

In Rivers state, APC Chieftain Rotimi Amaechi was not only Governor for eight years (of the 16years), he also served as Speaker for the other part of 8years.

Plateau state Governor Simon Lalong was a Speaker during the Dariye administration. The list is endless.

APC CLAIM OF PDP DESTROYING NIGERIA FOR 16 YEARS IS ILLOGICAL:

We can see that between 1999 and May 2015 individuals occupied various political offices, the actions (and inactions) of these office-holders contributed to the decline of the Nigeria and her economy.

Majority of these people were at one time or the other indicted for corrupt practices and fraud while in office. Most of these people are members of APC and some appointed into offices. ALL of them combined are responsible for the sorry state of things in Nigeria.

We can’t forget so soon that it was Saraki and Amaechi (as NGF Chairpersons) that moved for the Sharing and depletion of the Excess Crude Account, which GEJ bowed to between 2007 and 2012.

In fact, they also pushed for the sharing of One Billion Dollars in Soveriegn Wealth Fund but was resisted by Jonathan.

Today, Saraki is not just APC Senator but also the Senate President, while Amaechi is a minister. Can we forget so soon that Audu Ogbeh, the minister of agriculture and APC Senator Barnabas Germade were PDP National Chairmen between these period.

The claim by APC defies logic in every sense.

Finally, the continuous claim by the Buhari administration that “PDP destroyed Nigeria” for sixteen years only shows that the present administration is yet to understand the problem of Nigeria.

Worse still, it is an indictment on all those those that held one offices or the other since 1999 especially at federal level.

With Buhari having some of these people in his government and other positions of leadership, shows the insincerity of the government and ruling APC.

I will advice that president Buhari save Nigerians these excuses and focus on the job he was elected to do. PDP is not the name of any official, APC Chieftains have been part of the system.

Most cars, nowadays, come with factory fitted tinted permit so it's not like anyone has an ulterior motive for having tinted glass.

I did mine in PH on the 9 th of Feb, though we weren't asked to drop something outrightly, it was done in another manner.
After applying online, we got to Moscow road with our print out and they said we have to write a letter and make copies of some ofnour documents.
The letter of course has to be typed and signed. Ofcourse they offered to "help" us type the letter with a small something.
We paid 2k for the printing of the letters, it was later on when we were about to do the biometrics that I overheard one of them saying, no, just dump d letters wherr the others are there.

Its our own inhouse thing

that we added to the whole process.

The "Its our own inhouse thing" is what i want please.

gare:
I have commenced the process of obtaining the New tinted permit being issued by the police, having going through all the processes of online registration and Bio-metric capturing I am still yet to get my New tinted permit, we have been made to understand that this process is free and you are meant to get it almost immediately with confirmation to interview I watched and i believe several others watched from AIT and Channels TV where the Police said that after all the process is completed the New Permit will be printed for you, but in Port Harcourt we are made to understand that it was sent to Abuja for approval, by the way I am based in Port Harcourt, it is over a Month since I started the process. And we where made to understand that the whole process is free, but a friend of mine i met said he paid N10,000 for the process and the reason why ours is not coming out is because we are not parting or paying anything.

The reason why i want this out in the public is for people to know what they intend to do with this whole process pf new permit, if the police want us to pay for it they should come out formally and make us pay in banks and not into peoples pocket, I do hope the Government and EFCC are watching what is going on in the Police Force, IGP this is your innovation and your officer are going about collecting money from people, since you have said it is free, you must ensure that its free, not just saying it, machinery should be put in place to see that it is free, if by the I am as of this moment pleading with the force to release my permit because I do not have any money to give to anybody, if we so desire change in this nation we should act it and let it be part of our everyday life, times are hard in this country and they should not add to it

The IGP came up yesterday that he intends to put a stop on things like this happening in the police he should that all this stops, I have completed my process in PHC since last month, please they force should ensure I get my Permit.

The painful part is a police officer in moscow road convinced me to pay 11,500 for both making an applicationn and verifying your plate number as well as fast process but its now one week, i never capture. I still dey watch the guy cuz he still doesnt know what i can do to him yet...
Infact am heading to that Moscow road again this morning, i don vex!

Before you criticise an eight month APC Government
in Nigeria pls read this;How PDP ruined Nigeria.



1. PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999 but
left it at N10,000 in 2015 when they left power.



2. PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999
but left it at N220 in 2015 when they were leaving.



3. PDP met petrol pump price at N11 when they came
in 1999 but left it at N87 when they were leaving in
2015.



4. PDP met a bag of cement at less than N400 but left it
at N2000 while they were leaving in 2015.



5. PDP met a tin of milk at N15 in 1999 but left it at
N120 when they left in 2015.



6. PDP met only OPC in 1999 but left us with Niger
Delta militancy, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKASSI, and Boko
Haram as at when they left in 2015.



7. PDP was ushered in with a free and fair election in
1999 by the military but they left us with ballot box
snatching, rice sharing for campaigns, do-or-die
politics, political assassinations, etc.

Even before opening your fullish post, i knew you were going to mention and blame PDP.
You are pathetik

I ran themselves.

PLENTY OOOOO

Sezuo:
Often times, I wonder who really got it wrong. Those who promised change or those who voted for change.
From time immemorial, change has always come in two folds. The positive change and the negative change. If really people claim to have voted for change but now getting disappointed is critically analysed, who exactly is to blame?

YOU ARE ASKING QUESTIONS THAT WAS ANSWERED LONG TIME AGO:

HAVE YOU BLAMED GEJ TODAY? IT'S GEJ WE SHOULD BLAME FOR EVERYTHING....ACCORDING TO YOUR HERO PMB AND YOUR LIE LIE MINISTER.

NO BE SO MEANWHILE GEJ IS BUSY BEING CROWNED ALL OVER THE WORLD....

HE IS REALLY GOODLUCK
