Oops!!..this news will be like arrow through the hearts of desperate 'one Nigerianists' especially the region in the South whose indigenes claim their 'IGR' surpasses that of the entire Africa,are 'sophisticated,civilized and strategic'..yet barbaric daily human ritual killings is the order of the day there..ehyahh such a heartbreak..

As for this news,i care less actually cos the disintegration or restructure of this funny country by any means necessary is all i care about.

Funny enough that same people form the bunch of Nigeria coward association. They claim they are tactful and strategic, the reason why they positioned their own as vice so as to take over power from the ailing president. But when the right time came they chickened out at the warning of their arewa master. Out of frustration their elders are now attacking NASS. Pls help me tell them that NASS isn't their problem but their sworn servitude to their Arewa lord.
I don't refer to humans I am just talking about the wasted land of the South.

Unless Nnamdi. Kanu is made the INEC chairman before November, there will surely be election in Anambra


How sure is Kanu that he won't be back to Kuje before the election?



Kanu was freed from Kuje cage and Buhari got into the cage of "sickness", now that Buhari is free from from the cage of sickness and about coming back, don't you think Kanu will be heading back to his Kuje cage?...reason the logic

No body argues that. Surely election must be conducted. But I will not come out the whole of that day let alone going to vote and so with many others. So arrange to come a bring people outta their house to vote.

cownu did a great job at brainwashing these ones

Is that the only word you've learnt from NL?

I cant say that Buhari is dead and I can't say otherwise with all these propaganda around his health. I am just tired

Those seats aren't empty. Those standing do so because the seats are filled up and they normally pay less for standing. This also happens in luxurious buses. As far as I am concerned, those who stand do so out of will as nothing prevents them from waiting for next schedule.

Eee! Eee! Eee! Don't come here to rant about Yoruba tactful approach. We all know how fearful an average Yoruba is. COWARD DIE MANY TIMES BEFORE THEIR DEATH

Please fellow nairalanders, Ineed your urgent advice.
We started dating as far back as year 2007, then she was 17 while i was in my early 20s. I'm her first love, in fact, I was the person that deflowered her. I got her pregnant during the course of our relationship in which we aborted, the abortion almost took her life.

Since after the abortion issues that create serious problem between her parents and mine, her parents has kicked against our relationship including mine but she's insisting we must marry even up till today.

Please guys, should i just tell her that we cannot marry because i can see that she's very desperate to marry now as age is not on her side, but I'm afraid to tell her that the relationship cannot work because she can do anything (like attempting to even take her own life)

O boy, hmm! You have only one safe option. Marry that girl. Infact start building your with her. You are married only waiting to formalise it.
DONT LET THAT NEW FRESH GIRL WITH TEAR LEATHER AND STILL SEALED PUXXY CONFUSE YOU. Because the way I see things, there is another fresh puxxy you want to tear if not you won't tell me that after 10 good years you woke up only to realise that the relationship has not been working. Wickedness!

He implied that you reasoned like APC. That mean impoverished brain. Dasol!

ddippset:
some have admitted collecting millions. their only defence is that the money was released to them for special assignments. i don't need to see any convictions to understand that they were given public money. in this country we shall wait for convictions and be looted out of existence.

Of course everyone govt officially in one occasion be given money to discharge a duty, such money is recorded for reference. If anyone misappropriate money it is let for the court to convict him or her. Since it hasn't happened, I call this saga PROPAGANDA. Dasol!

ddippset:
rubbish. being away from a job for even 1 million days isn't as bad as sharing arms money amongst girlfriends and pastors or usin arms money to buy mansions all over the world.

Sorry. That's what you were told. Trust me, you and fairy tales makers aren't of those claims, hence non has been convicted since the dust raising.

I don't believe in that saint of yours. By their fruit we shall know them. One who is away from job for 100 days without qualms of conscience, yet receiving salary is not just corrupt but wicked. He can do anything

Nigeria’s earnings from oil production and sales in the 27 months President Muhammadu Buhari has been in office is far less than what the previous government led by ex-president Goodluck Jonathan earned in one year, Daily Sun can authoritatively reveal.

Since the Buhari government came to power, oil price has been in the all-time low, to the extent that a barrel of oil once sold for $27. Previous oil price peaked at $120 per barrel once, during the Jonathan’s government.

According to figures from the Organisation of Oil Producing Exporting Countries (OPEC) on Nigeria’s oil earnings since 2010 till date, the Buhari government has raked in $58 billion since coming to office.

A breakdown of the oil revenue by the Buhari government showed that between June and December 2015, the government earned $16 billion. In 2016, the Buhari government earned $26 billion, while it has raked in $16 billion this year, between January and July. The statistics showed that the Jonathan government earned a total of $453.5 billion between 2010 and 2015.

A breakdown of the Jonathan government’s earning showed that $70.7 billion was earned in 2010, $100.1 billion in 2011 and $96.9 billion in 2012.

Also, the Jonathan government earned $86.9 billion in 2013, $77.9 billion in 2014 and $21 billion between January and May 2015.

Meanwhile, the Buhari government has received kudos from the European Union (EU) and the United States government over its prudence in managing scarce resources.

According to EU officials, who pleaded anonymity, the Buhari government has shown responsibility in managing funds, in the face of low revenue.

The official said it was commendable that even when Nigeria’s revenue has nose-dived, the Buhari government has been able to meet its obligations.

“The EU is impressed that the Nigerian government has been afloat despite the drop in oil earning. From what we gathered, the government has been meeting its obligations. This is commendable,” he said.

When reminded that the Federal Government had borrowed to finance the budget, he said this was acceptable, as no country would survive without borrowing. He said as long as there was conscious effort to fight corruption, whatever money borrowed will be used for the purpose it was meant.

“There is no problem about borrowing, as long as the money is used for the stated purpose. We have seen this in Nigeria under the current government. This is good development,” the EU official said.

On the part of the United States, the country’s official said the Nigerian government had shown fiscal responsibility.

According to a top US official, who would not want to be mentioned, for a government that is not earning much money to be running shows the ingenuity in economic management.

He said that the Buhari government has shown determination to ensure that government revenue was not frittered away by corrupt officials, adding: “This is the greatest plus for the Nigerian government.”

The US officials said if the Buhari government could keep afloat in economic distress, it means that the government would do more for the country if the economic were buoyant.

In another development, the Presidency has said that the President Buhari administration was handed an economy ravaged by years of mismanagement and corruption.

In a statement, Malam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, while reacting to statements credited to former president Jonathan and Senator Ahmed Makarfi, the Caretaker Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said: “Under the previous administration, there was money but now things are very hard.”

The presidential aide added: “It is understandable that Dr. Jonathan kept his comments short, because a cursory look at any sector clearly indicated that he and his government presided over the most monumental and tragic economic mismanagement recorded in our national history.

“The oil sector boomed under his tenure, with oil prices as high as 120 dollars and peace in the Nigeria Delta. Nigeria earned unprecedented dollar revenues. Sadly, that is where the story turns sour.

“There is nothing to show for the revenues earned; no major capital project was completed, neither power generation, road development, rail nor agriculture benefited from the windfall earnings.

“Rather, the administration presided over the diversion of oil revenues on such a massive scale that even without the protection now accorded to Whistle blowers, the then Central Bank Governor blew not only a whistle but a trumpet.”

Highlighting the atrocities perpetrated under Jonathan’s government, Shehu said: “Indeed the president once celebrated having the largest number of private jets, whilst our youths languished without jobs, our fields stood idle and our factories began the layoff of workers.

“Government simply reticulated oil revenue through personal spending by corrupt leaders, wasteful expenses and salaries. This was done rather than investing in what would grow the economy. Economies grow due to capital investment in assets like seaports, airports, power plants, railways, roads and housing.”

He lamented that Nigeria could not record a single major infrastructural project in the last 10 years, saying, “in short the money was mismanaged. Shehu said President Buhari’s administration was left with the task of facing serious economic challenges from the oil majors, which included the demand for six billion dollars owed by Nigeria for oil that had already been sold or stolen.

He said it was only aggressive borrowing by the Ministry of Finance, under Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, that prevented Federal Government from also owing salaries.

“The economic wisdom of borrowing to pay recurrent bills is a questionable one, particularly as those paid would have included over 45,000 that have subsequently been removed by the Buhari led administration as ghost workers.

“It also included the lavish costs of chartering private jets, first class travel and other wasteful acts that have been eliminated under this administration. To compound the problem, the government was borrowing heavily and owed contractors and international oil companies.”

On what the Buhari government is doing, Shehu said it had also increased spending on capital projects, especially on infrastructure needed to make Nigerian businesses competitive and create jobs. He said government had blocked the leakages that allowed its revenues to be siphoned into private hands while focusing on other key sectors that could create jobs and or generate revenue such as agriculture, solid minerals and manufacturing.

According to him, if these things had been done when the oil price was as high as 120 dollars per barrel, Nigeria will not be in the current predicament.

“We would not be suffering now if we had no cash reserves but we had power, or a rail system, or good roads, or good housing. But we don’t have money and we don’t have the projects either’” he said.

One thing I observed about buharis govt is that it is govt of the daft. Even their e warriors are daft. This OP has been maltreated by mathematics. I wonder how many times he wrote ssce. Next time don't lie with mathematics because you can't defend it.

Let's examine his point to know the real failure b/w PMB and GEJ.

PMB annual oil earning
58/2.5 = $23.2bn yearly

GEJ annual oil earning
454/6 = $75.7bn year.

OP has buhari's govt refurbished your brain that can't recognise better when you see it.

The bleeding driver was still witted helplessly alone in the bus. Nobody had the time to help him down but there was time for pics. I hail the Nigeria.

In as much as PMB is not my guy...this 30m USD medical charge nor fly at all. Sahara Reporters should do more to convince me. 30m USD is a lot of money. Sahara Reporters and figures?

Wendel Simlin Can only fool fellow fools. Why did Nigerians vote out Gej and PDP? ....because of unprecedented corruption and clueless. It was so bad that Gej's finance minister and the coordinator of the economy told us to prepare for recession in 2014 when her ministry started borrowing money to pay salaries.

Brace for tougher times ahead,
Okonjo-Iweala tells Nigerians
November 14, 2014 Premium
Times
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Nigerians should brace for
tougher economic times ahead,
the Minister of Finance, Ngozi
Okonjo-Iweala, has said as crude
oil prices slipped to a four year
low on Wednesday.
New York Mercantile Exchange
(NYMEX) December WTI oil futures
sold at $75.20 per barrel on
Wednesday, down $1.98, from $
74.96 per barrel the previous day,
the lowest level for a most-active
contract since September 2010.
Though the price of sweet crude,
the blend of oil export from
Nigeria, rose marginally at the
close of trading on Wednesday to
$76.96 per barrel, it has already
crashed below the $79 per barrel
benchmark approved in the 2014
Appropriation Act, concerns are
mounting that tough times are
indeed ahead.
At the end of the Federation
Accounts Allocation Committee
(FAAC) meeting for September,
Federal, States and Local
Governments were only able to go
home with N603.5 billion
allocation after they resolved to
borrow about $2.76 billion from
the Excess Crude Revenue
Account to augment shortfall in
revenue generated during the
period.
The Federal Government had
attributed the declining revenues
to the fall in prices at the
international oil market.
After drawing from the ECA,
Minister of State for Finance,
Bashir Yuguda, said the balance in
the account had dropped further
from $4.1 billion to about $1.34
billion at the moment.
But Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said in
Lagos on Tuesday that the
economic indicators show there
are tougher times ahead.
Though she said the country’s
External Reserves rose from $
36.6billion at the end of June to $
39.48billion by October 16, and
the balance in the Sovereign
Wealth Fund at $1.55billion,
accruals from oil exports have

Don't waste your time arguing against fact. Bail out funds were also given to state who could not pay salary under PMBs administration. Give us details on why APC is better just as GEJ did if you are objective, less I will see you as one already given to pontification or as a gullible Zombie.

Cinkq:
God will bless buhari and every nigeria politicians that has the interests of their people at heart.let jonathan keep quiet,lest i'll be tempted to call him clueless and drunkard as he's fondly called by some people today. Jonathan was too careless as a president and lootings took place indiscriminately under his watch,which partly caused the problem we are facing today.as it's not proper to attribute the whole blame of today's problems on him, same way we cannot completely unconnect his name from today's problem. So he should keep quiet and allow the current regime fix things.

Instead of one buhari, give me ten Jonathan. What is this. Are people addicted to suffering? May be you are civil servant or at the corridor of politics but know that the MASSES ARE SUFFERING UNDER BUHARI. If anti graft war means suffering, to hell with it.

Seems Nigeria has nothing more but coalitions here and there.
Meanwhile I didn't see much comments on the thread yet this made front page. Lala what happened or abi you don dey collect bribe?

JuanDeDios:
Nigeria is likely to take South Africa’s position as the continent’s largest economy within two years, a Reuters poll found on Thursday. Nigeria’s gross domestic product will receive an enormous boost when it is rebased later this year to more accurately reflect changes in the economy over the last two decades. The GDP base in use is from 1990 and fails to capture the technology and telecoms sectors which have emerged since then. The much-delayed rebasing could add up to 50% to Nigeria’s economy, giving it a nominal GDP of around $375bn which is almost the size of South Africa’s.

Strong domestic demand and high levels of agriculture and services activity will see it clinch the title of Africa’s biggest economy within a couple years if current growth rates are maintained. High unemployment and a slowdown in the euro zone, South Africa’s main trading partner, make it vulnerable to losing its number one spot. It is set to grow at just 2.6% this year. It must be noted, however, that while being number one in the continent may boost Nigeria’s profile, South Africa still enjoys a better GDP-per-capita ratio compared to Nigeria, and therefore a slightly better standard of living.

A group , the Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators , on Thursday threatened to resume attacks on oil installations in the region.
The group , in an electronic mail , also said northerners and the Yoruba in the Niger Delta should leave the region before October 1 , 2017 .

The northern youth leader , Yerima Shettima , whose group gave a quit notice to the Igbo in the North , declined comment , when contacted by one of our correspondents .

Two northern elder statesmen , Alhaji Balarabe Musa and Alhaji Tanko Yakasai , have urged the Federal Government to act fast and calm the fresh agitations by the Niger Delta groups.

Balarabe , a former governor of old Kaduna State , said , “ The Federal Government should be straightforward , hard and just in dealing with this issue . This new development shows that it is almost the whole country which is involved in this subversion . If everyone is asking others to leave the country, then who owns Nigeria ?
“ We can deal with this case only when we have a strong , fair and just government . But this government is not. It is a failure of the government that is bringing up these agitations. Nigerians expected a lot of changes but we have seen nothing .
“ If these people had businesses to do , what time would they have to be agitating ? How long can the oil sustain us ? From all international indications , the oil may finish in 20 years . These agitators are doing this because some nonentities and faceless northern youths gave the same ultimatum and the government is in a disarray. ”

Yakasai , who is also the Chairman of the Northern Elders Council , said , “ To the best of my knowledge , there had never been any conflict between the North and the Niger Delta . There is no context to situate this. There are talks between them and the government already .

“ The government knows what to do. Nigerians believe the government is competent to handle this matter. But don ’ t bring the North into it . ”

You are a bad northern leader who know only one rule, divide and conquer. When you fought Biafra you never knew you have fought majority of Niger delta? Gworo chewer trying hard to be relevant.

Akiko! Most guys have those qualities but you have to first of all unlock them by winning his hrt. But unfortunately most girls do lose the key where they will be waiting for and expecting the guy to prove his love beyond devil's doubt. Kiss it, the truth.
