OBJ is just coming back to make sure Atiku doesn't get PDP ticket, since his third force has not received Nigerians blessings. grin

Who want hear make him hear.
2019 is a walkover for Sai Baba! 7 months to general election, just 2 months to the Primary election. Yet there is no credible presidential aspirant against Buhari. Even the so called aggrieved members of the APC are afraid of defecting, only wishing for the party to offer them automatic ticket and other concessions.

I tire for this opposition parties I swear.

_*I did the calculation by a count down 10 years from 2019 and got answer of 2009, Then, I quickly checked my diary and discovered that.*_
_10years ago was 2009._

_• At that time, fuel was N65 per litre., it is N145 now_
_• A gallon of 'TOTAL 5000W' engine oil was N750 then, it is N4800 now_
_• Naira was 150 to $1._
_• A bag of cement was N900._
_• Food stuff was so cheap in open market._
_• A 10kg bag of semovita was N550 then, it is N3100 now_
_• A 50kg bag of Indian Rice was N5700 then, it is N16,000 now_
_• A 10kg bag of Wheatmeal was N350 then, it is N2600 now_
_• N200 would buy enough combination of pepper spices to prepare soup to last for 2weeks then, N200 can only buy 5-balls of tomatoes now_
_• A tin of Peak milk was N50 then, it is N200 now with low and poorer quality_
_• A mudu of beans was N120 then, it is N600 now_
_• We were still using N5 to do shopping_
_• A mudu of garri was =N=12_
....
*After considering all these i said, APC/Buhari government shall be voted out so we could go 10yrs backwards, its better than now.*

Pls help to spread the news we must join hands to change this change!!!��������‍♀��‍���‍���‍��

Politics / Re: What Is Delaying June Salary For Fg Workers? by Newbiee: 8:15pm On Jul 05, 2018
Greystone:
I think it’s related with the FAAC standoff between state finance commissioners and NNPC concerning the federal May allocation to states. That’s what I understood from newspaper reports.
In summary, the state finance commissioners have refused passage of June federal monetary allocations because they felt short changed in May.
Because the price of crude oil is up to around $80 per barrel, there has been an increase in royalties of about N40bn. The states want this excess to be shared among the states while NNPC has supposedly sent it to the foriegn reserve.
As long as this issue isn’t resolved, federal, state and lg salaries won’t be paid.
That’s what I understood from reading it up.

http://dailypost.ng/2018/07/02/faac-finance-commissioners-accuse-nnpc-deceit-falsehood/amp/

Another probable cause is rumors of irregularities supposedly being experienced on the GIFMIS platform.

Don't waste your time explaining issues to the wailerz, they will never agree to understand. They are blinded by bigotry.

PLATEAU AND PDP'S CROCODILE TEARS – PRESIDENCY

The sad and unfortunate killings in Plateau State over the weekend have been turned to opportunity to once again play irresponsible politics, particularly by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which says it is declaring seven days of mourning.

These are dolorous times that call for deep introspection on how cheap human lives have become, and the proffering of actionable ideas on how to get out of the bind. But the PDP would rather dance on the graves of the dead, playing cheap, infantile politics.

The comatose and prostrate party is declaring seven days of mourning, during which flags in its offices would be flown at half mast nationwide. But unknown to the party, those flags had been forcefully lowered since its 2015 loss at the polls, and may remain so for a long time to come, because Nigerians are politically discerning, and cannot be hoodwinked by cheap antics.

A quick checklist of some savage and brutal killings in Nigeria during PDP rule, between 1999 and 2015, for which no national mourning was declared:

- November 20, 1999. Odi, in Bayelsa State, was invaded on orders of a PDP President. About 2,500 people killed. No national mourning.

- Between February and May, 2000, about 5,000 people were killed during riots over Sharia law in different parts of the North. No national mourning.

- In 2001, hundreds of people, including the old, infirm, women and children were killed in Zaki Biam. No crocodile tears.

- Between September 7-12, 2001, Jos, Plateau State, erupted in internecine killings. Between 500 and 1,000 people were killed. Flags were not flown at half mast.

- In February, 2004, at least 975 people were killed in Yelwa-Shendam, Plateau State. No mourning by the then ruling PDP.


- Between November 28 and 29, 2008, Jos was in flames again, with 381 deaths.
No mourning.

- In 2010, 992 people killed in Jos. Mum was the word.

- In 2014 alone, according to Global Terrorism Index, at least 1,229 people were killed in the Middle Belt. No mourning.

- Boko Haram killings in PDP years were over 10,000. PDP flags were still fluttering proudly in the sky.

Those who take pleasure in twisting statements from the Presidency may claim we are saying that many more people were killed under PDP than under President Muhammadu Buhari. It would be unconscionable to do so. The intendment of this statement is to show that wanton killings had been with us for awhile; this government is working towards enduring solutions; and should be given the opportunity to do so.

Even a single soul is precious, and no man should take a life, which he cannot create. But when tragic situations as had happened in Plateau State occur, such should never be used to play crude politics. Those who are wont to do so should have change of hearts, or lose their very humanity.

Politics / Ultimatum From Ex-pdp Chiefs: Buhari’s Men Await Next Move From Saraki, Tambuwal by Newbiee: 6:25am On May 12, 2018
Strategists of President Muhammadu Buhari are awaiting the next line of action from leaders of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), following an ultimatum the latter issued to the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a meeting.

In a four-page letter the defunct nPDP leaders addressed to the National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, dated April 27, 2018, they alleged that their members had been relegated to the background in the APC in spite of their contributions to the success of the party.

But despite the seven-day ultimatum, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Odigie-Oyegun and members of the National Working Committee (NWC) are yet to meet on the protest letter.

There were indications that the party leadership was tactically awaiting the return of President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of the party, before taking a decision.



But some Buhari’s strategists who spoke with our correspondent last night said they were not “losing sleep” over the ultimatum, adding that it was anticipated and they had guarded against it.

They are only awaiting the next step of the nPDP leaders after the expiration of the seven-day ultimatum for counter-response.

Investigation conducted by our correspondent revealed that the party is overwhelmed with activities, including the governorship primary in Ekiti State, the conduct of local government congresses, state congresses and the forthcoming national convention.

It was learnt that managing the aftermath of the Ward Congresses in some states had been herculean for the party which is trying to ensure peace and reconciliation among its members.

A member of the NWC said the leadership of the party might not discuss and respond to the nPDP letter in isolation.

“Apart from being busy, the issues raised in the letter are weighty and all other organs might have to be involved,” the source said.



Another party source, however, said: “The party appears to be tactically awaiting the return of the President because most of the issues raised border on the disposition of the Presidency.

“You cannot get a letter and go to town with a response without hearing from the other side. With feedback from the President, the party will be in a good stead to lay the cards on the table.

“Even on the eve of the President’s departure to the United Kingdom, he had audience with some of the key leaders of nPDP who joined hands to form the APC coalition.

“No one knew whether or not the April 27 letter came up for discussion.”

When contacted, the National Publicity Secretary of APC, Mr. Bolaji Abdullahi, simply said: “The party has not had the opportunity to discuss the letter.”

A source in Buhari’s camp, who spoke in confidence, said: “We are not losing sleep over the ultimatum, because we know their ultimate target is exit from APC. We had anticipated it long time ago and we have our plans on how to curtail them.

“The letter was just the first stage of a pre-planned agenda to embarrass APC and President Buhari.

“They have lined up more activities before they finally defect. We got all the intelligence report long before hand.

“On the alleged side-lining of the nPDP members, we will respond with appropriate statistics at the right time. The letter was misleading and inaccurate.”

Responding to a question, the source added: “Unlike in 2014, the political dynamics are different this time around because Buhari is a covert strategist.”

A leader of the nPDP said: “We cannot talk of the next step now until Buhari comes back to the country. We want his reaction to our notes too.

“His body language will determine our next move, which is being jealously kept.”

The nPDP leaders lodged their protest in a letter dated April 27, 2018 which was delivered to the APC National Secretariat in Abuja yesterday.

The letter was signed by a former National Chairman (nPDP), Alh. Abubakar Kawu Baraje and ex- National Secretary (nPDP) Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

Those copied include President Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

In the said letter, they listed seven grievances on why the coalition which led to the birth of APC was not working.

They include lack of concession of any position to nPDP in power sharing; no significant patronage and appointments to executive positions in various government agencies; fewer appointments of nPDP members into boards of various government agencies; opposition to the emergence of the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives; general lack of consultation, non-recognition and even persecution of former New PDP members and leaders; and harassment, intimidation and persecution of former New PDP leaders by the government.
