Tinubu Speaks On Request For Presidential Yacht Worth N5 BillionPublished on 2 November 2023 at 11:25 AMBy Rachel Okporu Fadoju
Kindly share this story:

President Tinubu seeks Senate approval for an additional $7.8 billion and €100 million in his 2022-2024 borrowing plan
The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has debunked reports making the rounds online over plans to purchase a presidential yacht worth N5 billion.
Naija News earlier reported that the federal government is planning to spend N5 billion to purchase a presidential yacht in the 2023 Supplementary Budget.

It was learned that the proposed sum is under the capital expenditure of the Nigerian Navy’s budget.

According to the breakdown, the Navy will require N62.8 billion for its operations, with recurrent expenditure and capital expenditure gulping N20.4 billion and N42.3 billion, respectively.

However, in a statement on Thursday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Temiope Ajayi, clarified that Tinubu didn’t request any yacht and did not need one to perform his function considering the current state of the economy.

According to him, the request for a yacht was framed in the Navy’s budget, and it is assumed that they have an operational reason for it.

The statement reads, “It has become a pattern for some individuals, CSOs and a section of the media to pick one or two line items every budget cycle for sensational headlines, deliberately ignoring context in their reporting.

“The public that should benefit from good journalism, which should primarily educate and adequately inform, is left confused and miseducated due to the mischaracterisation of issues and misrepresentation of facts.

“The trending issues on social media since yesterday are two items in the 2023 supplementary budget. One is the provision for a presidential yacht in the supplementary budget by the Navy and the other is over N6 billion for vehicles to the State House.

“It is important to state clearly that President Bola Tinubu didn’t ask for a presidential yatch and I doubt he needs one to perform the functions of his office. From what I know, the request for a yacht, however it is named or couched in the budget is from the Navy and they must have operational reasons for why it is required.

“The budget office should be in a position to also explain to the public why such expenditure should be accommodated now, considering the economic situation of the country. I must readily admit that the one reason our budgeting system has been a subject of public attack is the very simplistic way some of the line items are described by civil servants, who prepare the budget. Examples abound. Sometimes in 2016, an Enterprise Resource Planning ( ERP) project of the Ministry of Solid Minerals worth over N300m then was captured in that year’s budget as “website”. Naturally, it generated a massive controversy as people, rightly, asked to know the type of website that will be built with N300million.

“It is important to say that journalism should enrich public enlightenment and not create an atmosphere of siege. It is poor reporting to always reduce State House budgetary provisions to the President and Vice President. When the State House makes provision for vehicles, it is reported as if it is the President that will use all the vehicles or eat all the food when a provision is made for food and catering services. We have had such inaccurate reporting in the past.”

clown alley

Obviously Tinubu didn't ask for this but request still made for it because someone too wants to become sudden billionaire right? By the time you were finally done with Nigeria I hope what's left of it will be safe enough for you to enjoy the loots.

War is failure of everything else, they were happily taking pictures because they were happy killing Palestinians right? Now have they won? Only those who make it through to the peaceful era can say his country has won not those who died. Unless the arrogant Israelites accept to stop the killings, no winner in sight yet.

Before they said we can't refine our petrol because there is no functioning refinery in the country, now Dangote refinery is ready and the story is that our crude oyel we have been exporting since the stone age is now shortage. No human being can put this country in order.

Clown alleyis is the english word for a group of clown in case you need to know.

"The pastor also told the court that his daughter told him that during one of the sex romps, the condom in use broke".


So if that didn't happen the so called 16yr old minor would have continue to major on the bed? Minor my fart.

This is not the time to think of something like this.

Lozzzz and ignorant voters think they are voting against APC because they voted for PDP. The real mugus are even stupidly fighting and maiming one another for the so called oppositions who are actually same group of people.

Good one, I don't know maybe some people's god is so deaf but you don't have to make life a living hell for people in the name of worship. Near my house there is this house of hell called church where they make noise on microphone praying, playing music throughout the night when I'm expected to be sleeping after a hard day's work. I'm sure everyone equally being disturbed hisses as they make noise in the name of praying

For those who said Seyi and Madam Tinubu would be their presidents Baba just let you know that he can singlarly be in charge.
So elo fokan bale

And them go com dey use grammar confuse us say a 14 years old is a minor . Can a major worse pass this hole-ly criminal?
Any day I visit anyone and it's house help that cooked food na with style I go reject am. The house help association people dey para o

The other time you got so many caricature pictures of Tinubu and mocked him throughout your country with senseless support of one overgrown kid called Ekpa . I remember that particular picture where Tinubu looks like a starving baboon but henceforth you will cry you mocked our president, Buhari is no longer in charge to keep borrowing and sending part of it to you. Before this is over everyone of you will look like a starving baboons

Despite all the sacrifices we are making suffering for too exorbitant prices fuel gas etc na only N1.5b car they want buy for our first lady?
It should be like N5b car naw!!

As someone from Edo, I find myself drawn to the Yoruba culture of Nigeria. It's not just a fascination; it's a deep appreciation and love that I hold for what I consider to be the most beautiful culture in Africa. It might seem unusual for me to have such an affinity for a culture outside of my own, but there's something truly special about the Yoruba heritage that captivates my heart.

The Yoruba culture is a tapestry of history, a masterpiece of traditions that have withstood the test of time. It's like a living museum of Africa's past, present, and future. I can't help but be entranced by its richness and depth.

What stands out most is the way Yoruba culture weaves together a complex fabric of language, spirituality, art, and community. The Yoruba language is like a dance, with its melodious flow and expressive words that seem to carry stories within each syllable. It's a language that can paint a picture with its very pronunciation.

Their spiritual beliefs are equally captivating. The Yoruba pantheon of gods, the Orisha, is a fascinating blend of mythology and reverence. The intricate rituals, divinations, and ceremonies that honor these deities are nothing short of mesmerizing. I admire the profound connection they maintain with their ancestors, believing that the spirits continue to guide and protect them.

Yoruba artistry is a realm of wonder. The Adire and Aso-oke textiles are not merely fabrics; they are works of art. Each pattern and motif tells a story, preserving their history and heritage in threads. The intricate beadwork, the stunning masks, and the sculptures are a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of the Yoruba people.

Music and dance are like the heartbeats of the Yoruba culture. The talking drums, the rhythms of Sango, and the energy of Ogun's dance, all come together to create a unique and exhilarating symphony. Their festivals, like the Eyo and Osun, are a spectacle of color and joy, a testament to the celebratory spirit that runs through their veins.

What's most striking is the strong sense of community and family in the Yoruba culture. I, from Edo, can't help but appreciate the way they embrace one another, the warmth in their interactions, and the strength of their bonds. They place great importance on names, known as "Oruko," and I admire how they cherish their ancestors and carry their legacies forward through generations.

It's worth noting that my love for Yoruba culture does not diminish my love for my own Edo heritage. Rather, it serves as a testament to the beauty of diversity in Nigeria. We are a tapestry of cultures, each offering something unique and beautiful. The Yoruba culture, in all its magnificence, adds vibrancy to the mosaic of our nation.

So, as someone from Edo with a deep admiration for the Yoruba culture, I can't help but celebrate their traditions and their profound impact on Nigeria and Africa as a whole. The Yoruba culture, with its language, spirituality, art, and sense of community, is a treasure that enriches us all.

Your
expressions are so sweet. You understand English die

Na dem dey rush us

An innocent muslim woman got killed because one terrorist hated her for dressing up like a muslim and lied against her that she was making a threat. And I ask, was she holding a gun threatening to shoot anyone? Later they will say Muslims are terrorists whereas they suffer the terrorism of these bloody liars. God is watching

Herdamorlar:
With the high rise in the prices of all the basic needs. I returned from work this evening and I tried to write all I needed and to my surprise, my salary has finished with no savings for me.

I just don't know what to remove from the list right now, are we really going to continue like this? Especially those of us working for private companies, these private companies don't even bother to increase the salary of their workers with the rise in all commodities in the country.

In other words, your salary has not really finished you are still at drafting level. What if your salary is 75k and your account balance is -N42,405 whereas you must pay 30k for contribution which you've collected your own turn few months ago? Tell me what list I can make with N2,595?
Abeg problem pass problem, your own problem no be money but how to spend it.

Consider that as your own quota of sacrifice for the company to move forward. Every Nigerian is sacrificing so that our leaders can acquire multi million naira SUVs.

Imagine what Nigeria would have been without Muslims




Just imagine

Nigeria would be such a dreadful place where homosexuality and all kinds of immorality would thrive

The zombies didn't know that and have been masturbating at the prospect of expected release of someone's life dealings as if any of them is even saner. Alh Sidiki is whining about how our electoral and judicial system is faulty forgetting he helped laid that foundation and reaped so much benefits from it. He wasn't a sane either and all of us will now have to lay on the bed we made.

Until mystery surrounding his death is unravelled all I've learnt so far is that once a man is death, his life journey ends.
