bablong: True say....it's not GEJ's fault that oil prices dropped but it is his "lack of foresight" to know that oil prices will drop and did not have a fall-back plan and also his "mismanagement and mis-appropriation" of funds that we have no reserves after oil prices fell........ "No reserves after crude oil fell"... apparently you were not following the news when the likes of Rotimi Amaechi practically blackmailed Okonjo-Iweala to share the savings in the Excess Crude account.

I always advocate Peter Obi's formula for cases like this. All states should restructure such that they cover their recurrent expenditure (salaries et al) from their IGR and use FAAC allocations for capital projects that will impact the people.
Enough of this financial recklessness. |

Oh so it's now "oil barons" that hijacked the NASS elections? Didn't your master Asiwaju Tinubu try to manouevre his preferred candidates into power through your sham called "straw polls"?
I see the propaganda machinery of Tinubu being turned on his own party. The next 4 years will be very interesting indeed. |
Travel › Any Nairalanders Living In Paris? by Meiji(op): 8:01pm On Jun 13, 2015 |
Hello all,
I intend to move to Paris, France in two months' time for postgraduate studies, and I'd like to know if there are any Nairalanders living there (or in any of its suburbs). I need a lot of first-hand information about the best spots for African cuisine and markets, cheap accommodation, transportation and life generally (I don't trust the information on some of these travel advisory sites, they may be misleading).
So if you live in Paris or its suburbs (or you know someone who does), please hit me up.
Thanks. |

Politics › Re: G7 Leaders Assure Buhari Of Their Support, Request Specifics on "Wish List" by Meiji(op): 4:32pm On Jun 10, 2015 |
I was going to gloss over the report until I came to the part below: “They left it to President Buhari to come up with the specifics on his requirements, assuring that they would study the requirements either individually or collectively and offer help. They asked to know the nature and the scale of the problems in order to know the nature and the scale of the assistance they will provide. Suffice it to say that they assured President Buhari that ‘Nigeria will find a partner in the G7.'” Now my impression was that President Buhari attended the G7 summit already armed with his "wish list" for which we would require the assistance of the West, specifically with respect to fighting Boko Haram (now I have my issues with the term "wish list", but that's a story for another day). I'm therefore shocked at this report, which seems to suggest that the president didn't go to the meeting prepared to state EXACTLY what kind of assistance we need from the West, and when. How come Buhari is being asked to RETURN with "specifics"? Didn't he know (or couldn't he explain) what we want in the first place? More worryingly, can anyone tell us ONE thing that we were able to achieve from attending this summit (besides the photo ops)? My conclusion (unless further facts emerge) is that the president failed to prepare adequately for this summit and ended up wasting precious time and resources. Indeed if we go by this report, Buhari may end up making further trips to individual Western countries (at public expense) to present "details of his wish list". Ridiculous. We may, as the PDP supporters claim, have entered "one chance". |
Politics › G7 Leaders Assure Buhari Of Their Support, Request Specifics on "Wish List" by Meiji(op): 4:19pm On Jun 10, 2015*. Modified: 4:39pm On Jun 10, 2015 |
The G7 group of industrialized nations has resolved to support the new Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari.
This followed the group’s acknowledgment of the way and manner of his emergence and the tremendous challenges faced by the government he leads, not of his making, especially in its efforts to combat the Boko Haram.
https://cdn.pmnewsnigeria.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/G7-4.jpg
A statement issued by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity) to the President said that “at the end of the presentation he made on Monday, the G7 leaders said to him that they recognized the President’s massive amount of confidence and expectations behind his government.
They acknowledged him as having emerged from an election adjudged to be the freest in the country’s electoral history, but regretted the severe handicaps his new government has to face from the outset.
“They told President Buhari that they took cognizance of the fact of the several handicaps, including the lack of resources, leaving him with a government over-stretched in capacity, itself riddled with mismanagement. They noted that the country’s army lacked training and equipment with little or no will to engage.
“In recognition of the fact that the security threat of the Boko Haram had gone beyond Nigeria, equally affecting other countries in the region, the G7 conceded that no one country can tackle it alone.
“They expressed warm sentiments towards the Nigerian leader and praised him for reaching out to the country’s neighbours and the group of industrialized nations within a week of his takeover of government.
“In view of the seriousness he has shown in tacking this problem, the group pledged that they would “engage, cooperate and collaborate” with President Buhari’s government in tackling the serious problems that Nigeria faces.
“They left it to President Buhari to come up with the specifics on his requirements, assuring that they would study the requirements either individually or collectively and offer help. They asked to know the nature and the scale of the problems in order to know the nature and the scale of the assistance they will provide. Suffice it to say that they assured President Buhari that ‘Nigeria will find a partner in the G7.'”
President Buhari, who had the privilege of being the first to address the G7 among the invited presidents and prime ministers was warmly received at the summit. He returned to Nigeria in the early hours of Tuesday, 9 June. PM News |

akanbiaa: when reporting you play neutral you don't judge by calling the governor irresponsible yourself if someone among the protesters said he is irresponsible you report a mr so and so lamented that they are disappointed in the Governor for being irresponsible on the salary issue. Hope you got my point? But it is very irresponsible for a governor not to pay his workers. Even more irresponsible is his refusal to take responsibility for it, preferring to blame Jonathan instead. So the OP is in order. #AreGbesePayYourWorkers |

Has anyone noticed their recent activities here; shunning out statistics here just to disapprove the fact that we are their mentor?
