Welcome to nigeria where stupidity is seen as a norm, especially from d most sophisticated tribe

U also have a dullard as president, what do u expect

GEJ chose a renounced professor of Mechanical engineering to man the power sector in his time as president. Now we have a lawyer for the same position.

That mechanical engineer now owns geometric power, the first indigenous power generating firm in nigeria n he's doing very well.

Wen I say nothing good can ever come from nigeria, no one gets to understand.

Oga. Considering the amount involved. 1% is pretty ridiculous. It's a bloody software and it really sends digital money. Remita was not designed for the purpose of TSA. It just happened. All that happened was record updates from banks to CBN. I doubt if any physical cash was involved. Even if CBN calls in a consultant to build a software solely for this, would it even cost 1b naira. Outsourcing and privatization has created another window for fraud. Work that can be done in house is now made to look like rocket science. How much is a states monthly allocation? And 1 company claims to make some states 2 year allocation in one swoop moving government money. No wonder we don't have jobs. There is more to this story. Buharis hands cannot be clean. If they are, then we are in more trouble than I thought. He is totally incompetent. Maybe remita should be responsible for this 5k to the unemployed because a serious government would consider those before allowing one company work away with this much money. I don't like Dino Melaye but he did good on this one.

newnigerian:
Good! but get it CBN cannot do it by themselves banks dont develop software applications...software companies do this and the contract it out to banks...Quickteller, Paydirect, Mastercard, Verve, Etranzt, Vogue pay and etc are all developed for Banks and these company charge on each transaction fee made...CBN will have to contract it out this is global standard. there was a selection process many companies such as interswitch, oracle, NIBISS, Alpha Beta came forth with their proposition Remita was well suited and therefore selected!

[b]Dictatorship?
Dictatorship is when 16 is greater than 19.
Dictatorship is when police invaded Rivers State government house to stop a sitting Governor gaining entrance.
Dictatorship is when 6 members wanted to impeach a Governor.
Dictatorship is when SSS invaded and ransacked APC computer data base office in Lagos.
Dictatorship is when all key APC members were arrested and detained prior to governorship elections in Edo, Anambra, Ekiti, Osun etc.
Dictatorship is when Niger Delta Militants were awarded with contracts to supply military Hard Wares without the knowledge of Defense Ministry.
Dictatorship is when Adamawa State had 4 Governors in 4 consecutive months due to impunity.
Dictatorship is when DSS blocked Tinibu's house for 5 days.
Dictatorship is when police sealed National Assembly complex to stop speaker and his men from sitting.
Dictatorship is when judiciary was fully compromised where PDP as high bidders given upper hand in every verdict.
Dictatorship is when Borno Airport was closed to stop Governor from flying but allows Ali Modu Sheriff to fly freely.
Dictatorship is when Sanusi Lamido was sacked because he exposed criminals.
Dictatorship is when Governors private jets were impounded deliberately as perceived enemies of presidency etc.........

Jonathan and PDP are not even ashamed of themselves by calling some people Dictators? What a senile people![/b]

Buhari Paid TSA Consultants
N60 Billion, Not N25B Per Day
As Exposed – Nigerian Senate.

REMITA is owned by the APC
leader Ahmed Tinubu; who is
alleged to be acting as a front
for President Buhari. REMITA is
requested to "remit" back a
total of N2.5trn they received
as Commission.
Paying N6trn a year to REMITA
will crash the economy. The
main reason for Buhari's 'profit
warning', "that Nigeria is
broke"

The Nigerian Senate have
requested the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN) to immediately
terminate the contract awarded
to a private firm REMITA for the
implementation of President
Muhammadu Buhari’s version
of the Treasury Single Account
(TSA) policy, which pat REMITA
1% commission for every
transaction.
The Senate instructed its
committees on Finance,
Banking and other Financial
Institutions, and Public
Accounts to carry out a holistic
investigation and report back in
two weeks, asked the firm to
return the sum of N2.5 trillion
which has allegedly been
collected so far.

President Muhammadu Buhari
secretly awarded the Company
the contract without following
the Nigerian banking rules.
The Senate had also asked for
the prosecution of all members
of REMITA’s board of directors
according to the provisions of
the Bank and Other Financial
Institutions Act (BOFIA).
Senator Dino Melaye, on his
debate on the motion, said that
the “Federal Government on
15th of September 2015
mopped up the sum of N2.5
trillion Naira through its e-
collection agent, Remita.
On his part, the Majority Senate
Leader, Ali Ndume expressed
surprised at the revelation given
that the President assumed
office on the back of no-
tolerance for corruption
campaign.
He said: “I didn’t believe that
this could happen under this
government.
However, if it is
true, the people involved are
saboteurs, and must be
compelled to return the money,
and face the wrath of the law

SLIDEwaxie:
deal with this, boy and stop foaming in the mouth. what is the job of the CBN if it cannot handle remmitances from the banks since it deals with the banks and handles their funds directly. accept the fact that the company was set us for this selfish purpose: to embezzle an unnecessary fund.

what is the big deal in UBA remmitting XXXX Billion and CBN auditing and checking all papers?

This auditing company has chairmen who have nother to do with auditing. they are all past government officials who just wanted to use the avenue to rip off the masses again!

CyberWolf:
But it's SLS that awarded the contract to them..

Bugatie:
Good to know the men behind the scene,

Hope they get probed for the unauthorised withdrawal from the TSA

eaglechild:
Are you saying it is legal to inflate the cost of a project so far it is captured in the budget

okwadatigbogal:
I pray God forgives u for this terrible and wicked lie u just told. That is why I don't usually join issues with u small school kids on nairaland. U are a bloody bigot and a tribalist. I can tell u have never visited any airport and even if u did, u never visited pre- stella. Stella is the BEST aviation minister Nigeria has ever produced. What Borisade and fani-kayode combined could not achieve, stella achieved it under few years of her reign. The aviation sector is a volatile one and I noticed the Yorubas feel that they own it, so they have always tried to frustrate any non- yoruba at the helm of affairs. Pls tell the truth and stop this irritating bigotry. It's a shame we Nigerian youths are following the path of our parents in the way we hate and malign each other.



Lol...sorry Chuna..I was supposed to quote gwales, the guy u replied. It's an error on my part

eaglechild:
In other words it is alright to spend $1billion to develop a website so far it is captured in the budget.

Clap for yourself you are a genius.

kYjelly2:
Stella oduah was hounded for spending 255 million for bullet proof cars as a minister while Fashola who spent 78 million naira for a common website is hailed as the beacon of change

Lets even do some analysis, isn't what Stella bought closer to the amount she spent, than what fashola spent in relation to what he got

In other words, isn't it easier to get away with 255 million for 2 bullet proof cars than it is to get away with 78 million naira for a brochure website any where in the world

Yet he got away, due to naijas never ending hypocrisy

Practical example, BMW has a bullet proof X5 going for 110,000 pounds. multiply by two, that would be 220,000 pounds. that only resists ak47 shells but isn't blast proof. we can argue for sake of argument that blast proofing would increase the price tag and get the number closer to 500,000 pounds or more.

Now please tell me a brochure site that has ever been created for more than 500,000 naira before anywhere in the world. A brochure site is different from an application, which nairaland and facebook are and even those were created by young kids just meddling with what they loved.

So how is it that one was hounded and the other was not even question by the EFCC and allowed to sail into a ministry as a minster?

One was removed while being a minister, while the other is accepted even with a more obvious misappropriation case to answer to.

It just seems naija is filled with hyprocrites.

Now back to the praise singing of Fashola the change that will change ministry, mtcheew.

As always, for the love of country, this country will get better by fire by fore, but the hypocrites will answer one day, if not here then in the life beyond, mtcheew

kd10:
OK let's see how it goes with your idea which for me is a workable solution though you & I know that Hausa Fulani's doesn't want to see anything called True Fiscal Federalism or Regional System that will enthrone meritocracy , eqauty & justice Rather they will throw everything to it to make it fail so with this in mind Ndigbo youths chose Biafra even when its obvious they are going about it the wrong way.But truly Nigeria is doomed. May God Help us.

kd10:
Truly you make a better point at layer stages of your comments than the beginning point why because the rots starts from the center down to the states not just SE alone.Ndigbo has paid a heavy price more than any ethnic group in this contraption called Nigeria so Biafra is unending agitation as things stand today & can be achieved with more & better coordination, since independence & the civil war that ended the country has remain dysfuntional till date Though your point for them to agitating for full implementation of National Conference Report is not bad to say the least becuase it will Attract more wider appeal but what is the guarantee that it will not be compromised?

patrick89:
being an igbo Is not by mouth but attitude! you lack everything igbo!

kingslly:
Well said bro,am Igbo and am not against the agitation for a Sovereign state of Biafra but what am not comfortable with is the Pple behind dis struggle and the way they are going about it(no reasonbale strategy at all,they are just reacting). Am just not comfortable with the calibre of pple agitating for Biafra because the ones I knw personally are either cultists or suspected cultists that just feel and believe they'll be I charge once there is Biafra because their fellow cultist is at the top. Let's fight to get it right in the Nigeria settings and not fight to run away,we can neva get it right in Biafra if we don't first of all get it right in Nigeria. We can start by joining forces with other ethnic Nationalities who are agitating for the De-centralisation of Power and the implementation of the recommendation of the National Conference that was organised by the GEJ's government!

maupe:
I admire your optimism and faith in PMB. But the truth is that for it to have started under his watch, means he is aware of it and even condones it. When he was the PTF boss, a certain Afri-projects Consortium was doing something similar.

Epaul:
it would be nice if we could have a purely intellectual argument premised on constitutional provisions instead of the usual 'Buhari-is-a-better-man-for-the-Job', 'other-petroleum-ministers-were-inherently-corrupt' flimflam without recourse to constitutionalism that the APC big fishes on this section occassionally spew out. Waiting.

OK500:
REMEMBER SS IS PART OF BIAFRA( HAUSA/YORUBA DIVIDE AND RULE IS OVER, WE ARE WISER NOW) BUT TAKE THIS AS A PROPHECY OR A REALITY(OR IGNORE IT) - SE HAS A BIG WELL OF RESOURCES UNTTAPED( OIL INCLUSSIVE)....WAIT TILL BIAFRA STANDS!

Evaromantik:
itiboribo.......SE leaders should do it from their villages.......do you nigerians allow them to rule and put nigeria in their desired shape?........no blame on our leaders cause even them are being marginalised and subdued.........go to hell with you ludicrous advice

CSTR2:
The SE as a whole does not get up to $15b as federal allocation for a year.
What kind of meaningful development are you expecting?
To build a high speed rail that would connect the whole SE would cost atleast half of that.
Federalism that should give more economic powers to the state has been jettisoned.
Are you Nigerians allergic to the truth?

DMerciful:
GEJ was committed to the confab hence he organised it. Don't make unnecessary assumptions. SW has been singing restructuring in national conf but vote against resource control in d national assembly! I do not blame them....I blame the SS...they prefer to remain in their servitude to SW and North due to their unfounded fear that igbos want their oil...d so called oil that belongs to Jigawa. Do you need an angel of God to tell you Nigeria is not working? And after 55years for that matter? Not everybody wants a wretched life and to think you're from SE and has accepted servitude is strange!

Curlieweed:
Na only this one you see? I made a longer post. You no see that one?

In any case I think you're probably from the SE and I respect your views as an Igbo man. However, when the people cheering you on call your kind "flat heads", "ibo", "Yi.bo" and the "most greedy in Nigeria", you need to ask yourself if you're applying any discretion.

Curlieweed:
These same people voted for Mumuharri who promised to shred the said report and somehow you want them to fight to implement it. Now, who is being unrealistic?

Nigeria is cruel joke and an embarrassment to right thinking black people everywhere. The designers of this abomination didn't do so for your benefit but simply for your exploitation. They made no pretence at building even the semblance of the foundations of a possibly united nation. If they had any intention of allowing this contraption to grow into a working whole, they won't have used two totally different administrative and legal systems to run the two halves of their booty. I am sure that even they would be faintly amused at your naivety (or should I say arrogance) in thinking that you can make it work as one cohesive whole for the benefit of the hapless wretches trapped in this colonial prison camp.

Nigeria was only designed for one reason. Ease of exploitation. That is why successive neocolonial leaders have followed the operating instruction to the letter. A car is designed to be driven on roads. If you decide to fly it then you will have a big problem

I don't buy the familiar "leadership is the problem" explanation. It's too shallow and lacks any empirical rigour. The SE is part of the Nigerian system and systems follow structure, while individuals modify their behaviour to suit the system. There is a famous psychology experiment called the Stanford Prison Experiment. Young men were divided into the roles of Prisoner and Guard and put in a prison-like environment in the basement of the Psychology Department at Stanford University. The study was meant to last two weeks. But the brutality of the Guards and the suffering of the Prisoners was so intense that it had to be terminated after only six days.

The study provided a graphic illustration of the power of situations to shape individuals' behaviour. It has been argued that the Guards acted the way they did because they conformed blindly to their assigned role, as did he in his position as Prison Superintendent: Guard aggression … was emitted simply as a ‘natural’ consequence of being in the uniform of a ‘guard’ and asserting the power inherent in that role. Furthermore, because the Guards could not help themselves, they could not be blamed for their actions.

Scholars have used this simple and powerful account to explain the atrocities committed by very diverse actors – from the suicide bombers who flew into New York’s Twin Towers on 9/11 to the American torturers at Iraq’s infamous Abu Ghraib prison.

Curlieweed:
You could have fooled me.

xtrorse:
It's honourable not to use lies to buttress your point in a bid to absolve your SW people and APC party of the very obvious misdeeds...

kingzizzy:
You can take out the federal level becsuse the federal level is the problem.
