Budget is a modernized way of stealing.

If I want to cut down a tree in my house, I will simply include workman payment into the budget and the illiterate President being so dumb could not go through the budget properly B4 signing

That means that I can even include his assassination billing by Hitman into budget SMH

I think the president made it clear that he relunctantly signed the budget.
A budget that was given to the NASS last year was delayed for over 6 month before giving to the president.
If the president refused to sign it, it'll mean taking it back and forth again and before you know it the year is over . While the ministries and parastaters continue to suffer and projects continued to be delayed .
The presidency was in a dilema.

If some individuals because of their own personal wicked nature performs some stupid act attach it to them not on their religion, Islam is perfect but the Muslims are not perfect if they do anything wrong attach it to them not on the religion.

Same should be applied to the Fulani herdsmen and farmers crises.

Some people are just psychopaths hiding under religious and ethnic sentiments to commit heinious crime.

This's good news. That means I can now vote too

joeyfire:
Your bitterness and bigotry stinks.

Fayose stood up for his people and protected Ekiti from herdsmen. Unlike Oyo State that has hundreds of herdsmen militia camped in forests all over the place

When Buhari was humiliating Tinubu politically it was Fayose that cried out saying a Yoruba leader should not be humiliated despite party divisions

Whenever there are burning national issues Fayose is never afraid to speak up. That is the definition of a man.

If the bug running around in your pant is just Fayose's friendship and love for Igbos then you have issues you may need to get spritual help for

Give me ONE example of how Buhari was humiliating Tinubu.

election is over for God's sake. what is the security operatives and the military still doing in ekiti state by now. for God's sake, we are not in the military era. army ought to have leave since yesterday night. what are they still doing in ekiti state. now ekiti state is under siege. please is this democracy hmmm?

So all police officers should leave Ekiti cos election is over?

To be frank, direct primary is better. That's how it should be done. Using delegates gives room for bribery

Pdp should just go to the tribunal. Moreover, why is Fayose so concerned?

Gecoz:
Am I the only one wondering why there is no massive jubilation from the ekiti people? If truly they loved fayemi or if truly they voted for apc I believe winning a sitting party was supposed to resolve to massive jubilation. Something is not right here

The election was keenly contested and the margine between pdp and apc is job just a little above 19k.
So you can't expect much jubilation.

To be taken serious Tiwa ought to have attached a screenshot of where she begged for money in her post.
Anything other than that...
No fu(k will be given

Just cos I gave one last nite doesn't mean shit!

Now this's not funny.

Location?

Lagos?

This is barbaric!


I think people in such position should start seuing those that strip them in such situation, but shame no go gri

Obun riku oko turan man

I'm speechless. It's the presidency summons the SA ambassador

ruffneck:
This is a confirmation that what happened in ekiti ystday was prearranged. Fayose was only acting a script

Acting which script?

That's why I don't like watching Nollywood films with some ppl.

Must you spoil the film for Ekiti ppl and Ipobs?

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr Yakubu Dogara, on Tuesday, defended the move by the legislature to strip the President of his power to order forfeiture of asset held by persons facing criminal prosecution.

He said it would deepen democracy and give all arms of government the chance to perform their duties without undue interference.

The National Assembly is proposing to strip the President of his power on asset forteiture and vests it in the judge of the High Court, who will now use his discretion to decide on whether to order the forfeiture.

Dogara spoke at the opening of a public hearing on the bill, which sought to amend the “Currency Conversion (Freezing Orders) Act, 2004” at the National Assembly in Abuja.

The hearing was conducted by the House Committee on Banking/Currency chaired by Mr Chukwudi Jones-Onyereri.

The Speaker explained, “The discretionary powers being sought for the judge of the high court; it is essential in order to ensure that the course of justice is protected in the Nigerian socio-economic space.

“Currently, the powers for forfeiture are vested in the President, which invariably usurps the prerogative of the judiciary to adjudicate and give ruling among others.

“For democracy to be truly deepened, all the three arms of government need to be deepened to effectively perform their constitutional responsibilities.”

The Central Bank of Nigeria and several operators in the financial sector supported the bill, urging the National Assembly to pass it speedily.



CBN’s Deputy Director, Mr Adedeji Lawal, who represented the apex bank, also suggested that the bill should be further amended to allow the court forward any forfeiture orders to the CBN governor in writing for implementation.

But, lawmakers observed that asking the judge to communicate the order in writing to the governor was not necessary as it could amount to meddling in court proceedings.

Debt: FG may cut power supply to Benin, Niger and Togo.


Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has joined operators in the power sector to call on international customers who receive electricity from Nigeria to either pay their bills or be disconnected.

Nigeria sells power to the Republics of Togo, Niger and Benin, and classifies the West African countries as international customers.

Officials at the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, told our correspondent in Abuja on Tuesday that the international customers, who pay for the power they receive from Nigeria in dollars, owed the country, a development that had increased the financial indebtedness to the power generation companies.

This was confirmed by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, who, however, revealed that Buhari was working hard to ensure that the electricity debts by the country’s neighbours were cleared.

Fashola stated that he had also directed the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company to go ahead and collect its money from the international customers.

He noted that the government had issued letters to the countries involved, adding that Nigeria would disconnect those who fail to comply as endorsed by Buhari.

The minister said, “We issued disconnection notices and that is why I’m asking the NBET to go and collect your money because we have duties, obligations and international agreements with them as brother and sister nations. But that does not mean they will not pay us if they are defaulting. So, we have issued letters to them to pay their bills, and from time to time, they pay.

“There was a time one head of state came to visit President Buhari and little did I know that the real reason he came was to come and tell him that the (power) sector had issued a notice of disconnection to his country. And you may be interested to know that President Buhari simply told him to go and pay, otherwise we will disconnect you because we are also paying at home.”

Fashola also stated that he recently received the minister of power from Niger and both of them discussed issues bordering on the payment of electricity bills to Nigeria.

He said, “International customers, yes we have delays in payment and I think that’s a fair thing to say. Our international customers are government agencies and governments of Niger, Togo and the Republic of Benin. So, it takes some time and even on our own side, we know what it takes to get approvals, to process things and so on.

“You may be aware that the minister of power for Niger Republic was here to see me on Thursday or Friday, and these were some of the issues we had to discuss. And we also discussed the need for them to transfer the rights under their old agreement, which they made with the PHCN to NBET. So from time to time, we get the monies from international customers and we pay the power generation companies.”

If these are the people that will put up a fight against Buhari in 2019, then Bubu has won.


However, I'm calling on all the youths, from all the regions of Nigeria to vote for Omoyele Sowore.


We need something new

You ppl have been shouting, disturbing our ears that you're leaving, you're leaving.
Abeg, just leave already.
The NASS is a den of thieves and ex-cons
Though the presidency too has been a monumental disappointment that's why you ppl think you can play in our intelligence.
Well, let's wait and see

All I know is that, all these movements and commotion are not in the interest of the masses.

Sack Kwa!

Talk is cheap

The fights between these politicians and are only for their greedy personal interest
