False information from Trent as usual

PMIcon:
It's unfortunate that the media, for financial gains, are empowering people who have ALREADY decided not to trust this government.

I COMMEND THE PRESIDENT FOR VISITING THE ASO ROCK ENT SURGEON BEFORE TRAVELLING.

We don't hear about presidents visiting Aso Rock clinics before jetting out of Nigeria for treatment. And even when things get complicated they still hide it from us.
This government is giving us information but it seems there are too many ungrateful people in the world today. They complain about everything and see good things in bad ways because they are used to bad things happening.

Pidggin:
Those who voted change will hopefully suffer most, the thought of bringing the suffering and hardship upon themselves is an added cross that will continue to torment them

allthingsgood:
No way, wailers were never right.
But your ideas are very good. Money shld be put in the right place

tinsel:
Situation then was different from situation now. When Jonathan increased the fuel price, oil price then was about usd100/barrel. So no reason for him to do that.But now oil is about usd38/barrel. W cannot sustain the subsidy any longer.

Obiagelli:
Dude is not owing salaries from the info i gathered.

Decker I appreciate but my mum has been warning me since about pregnancy,the main problem now is the guy is threatening to deny me and pregnancy if I don't abort it.

I'll help with some figures of the budget proposals of the FG from 2011, just to provide some perspective:

2011
Budget Proposed - N4.97Trillion
Oil Price Used - $75
Oil Production - 2.3mbbls/day

2012
Budget Proposed - N4.75Trillion
Oil Price Used - $70
Oil Production - 2.48mbbls/day

2013
Budget Proposed - N4.98Trillion
Oil Price Used - $79
Oil Production - 2.53mbbls/day

2014
Budget Proposed - N4.91Trillion
Oil Price Used - $75
Oil Production - 2.39mbbls/day

2015
Budget Proposed - N4.49Trillion
Oil Price Used - $53
Oil Production - 2.28mbbls/day

2016
Budget Proposed - N6.0Trillion
Oil Price Used - $38
Oil Production - 2.2mbbls/day

I am interested in seeing the revenue details from the budget to know exactly how government intends to fund the budget. My first instinct, though, is that leackages in revenue generating agencies (like NCS, NPA, NNPC, etc) have been blocked and all funds channeled into the TSA. That the government has been able to come up with that size of budget - even in the face of declining oil prices & lower oil production levels - without depreciating the official exchange rate of the Naira - is truly remarkable.

How GEJ (with benchmark oil price of over $75 throughout his term) was not able to come up with a budget of up to N5T beggars belief. One can now say without equivocation that, had PMB met an oil price of $75, we would be talking about a N10T budget. Kindly note that during GEJ term, oil price was actually higher ($105) than the budget benchmark and yet our Foreign Reserves and ECA was declining.

deking:
@ $38 per barrel and 2.2million b/d considering 260 days the Govts daily earnings from oil will be

$38 X 2.2M X 260 =$21736 Million

@ N196 = $1

This gives $21736 Million X 196 = N4260256 million i.e N4.260256T

With this figures and considering the other loopholes that have been blocked this is more than a possible feat.

The government doesn't have to borrow if the price of petrol continues to hover around the 43$ benchmark.

LastSurvivor:
The dullard buhari is making GEJ looks like the most intelligent Nigerian president ever..

For now, buhari has no clue on where to start...

Doctored report

tobimillar:
Before, have u seen a thief that ever pleads guilty Even the one caught in the act blames the devil ...husband catches wife in bed, fùcking another man and wife said "baby,its not what you think"

My point is GEJ will never admit he is a thief not even with a gun on his head. Stealing can never be corruption...goat and yam

Honestly laws should be made against this age duscrimination.

After students must have wasted a sizeable chunk of their life in the uni due to incessant strike, graduating and serving before 26 can be quite difficult.

zik4ever:
I am not Igbo and I am neither Hausa nor Yoruba and this issue isn't just about one tribe. More people are joining for various reasons. At this stage, I need to make a contribution. Parts of Port Harcourt especially Aba road is currently locked down due to the IPOD protests. Even the security forces have gotten tired of firing tear gas. The government of Nigeria needs to manage this situation with better tact and dexterity so that we do not have a full blown crisis on our hands. I don't see the government and security agencies being able to fight on multiple fronts. They have not defeated Boko Haram. Places like Taraba State are on the precipice. Forget all braggadocio, the Niger Delta is becoming more restive and criminality is escalating nationwide. The Fulani-farmers killings are resulting in more fatalities and some of the marauders have become even more murderous. Women and children are being raped. Bank robberies are on the uptick. Jobless, hungry and angry people are getting agitated. Civil servants got paid last week and many are still being owed. Whoever has access to those in power, should tell them something is about to give!

Blyzz:
WTF. where are the able men in Taraba. woman being a governor, I truly don't support. her husband will be called the first Man of Taraba, lol. but am vary sure the able men of Taraba all slept off, gosh

mapet:
.....and should every other parties be responsible for PDP's technical blunder? PDP have retinue of lawyers and advisers, and ought to have known what the law states.
The meaning of the technical blunder is that they never participated in the election in the first place........and out of those who did participate, Mama Taraba won

ujezeez:
A bit of history question 4 u,The verdict that brought oshiomole to power as Governor,was there a rerun?...guy park well...keep your ignorance to yourself

mapet:
Madam,

1. I respect your position of not making it a gender issue.
2. Fair and Square? That is what the Tribunal determined
3. Her presentation at the Senate should not deny her of what she truly won in the hearts of majority of the Tarabans.
4. So we both are not from Taraba........then the Trabans decided and not us
5. Alex Otti? I have a tacit support for him. May be his lawyers Fvucked him up, may be his team could not motivate a compelling case or may be wuruwuru happened. That is why he can pursue an appeal. There is no correlation between Otti's case and Mama Taraba's case. They are distance apart, different voters and different tribunal

cheers

I tried to apply but wasn't successful. It seems the opening is only for first class applicants.

Has anybody with 2:1 successfully apply?

What killed watching the movie for me was that I read the book a while ago even before the series started coming out. After watching the first one I was kind of disappointed about the movie because most of the scenes didn't play out as the book did, I've not finished the book either because as at the time I read it the author wasn't done writing the book I'm not sure he has finished writing it till date any ways but I think anybody that reads novels well should read the books I have the soft copies anyone interested in them can contact me on whatsapp with 08030809934 I can send all the first four or five books but only if you'll read it because they really are interesting. Sorry I just found out that I can't send the books to whatsapp so better you just send me your email addresses on whatsapp then I will mail them to you. Sorry
