he is definitely Nigeria 's last chance to get it right. The last government and all the previous government were more ways interested in money and checkmating the SW than restructuring the country .
Share positions and share the money federalism .
I could not be bothered about what he does if people ( elites ) continue to refuse to look at the bigger picture.
All Nigerian presidents wield unitary powers and it is the unitary power and lopsided federalism that causes all the problems.
They are simply attacking the symptoms of a bigger problem . What is NNPC or NPA If not unitary ogres used to siphon wealth from where they are created ?
Nothing tells you more of the need for a separate Yoruba country than all the crappy issues bedevilling the country . How and when can you tackle serious challenges when a federation is at its very core ;corrupt.

Nothing like national public land.
The land belongs to the Gwaris . It is as simple as that .

Oil Oil Oil
What else but Oil.
Omolaubis , Are you not tired of these folk from the north and the South ?
2015 and With the human resources to move fully into a knowledge based economy , and backed up by the peace dividends from culture , agriculture tourism ,services and our traditional religion , is it not time to say goodbye?
Or we want to wait for another 100 years of suffering when it is so obvious that we are carrying a major liability your back

zuchyblink:
atleast 60 percent of it is by Igbos

BS right there. Bullcrap

According to the estimates, remittances from the UK, including unrecorded transfers through formal and informal channels, could be worth up to $23bn – including $3.9bn to India, $3.8bn to Nigeria, and more than $1.2bn to Poland. This would make the UK the third-largest source of remittances, after the US and Canada.

Almost a quarter of it comes from the UK alone.
That is before Ireland ,Germany ,nederlands, Australia,Italy ,America and Canada

Jonathan can afford a water work for Otuoke .Tell him to build one out of his share of the loot or drive him out .

adconline:
Naija young fellas don't know how quantify money that's why politicians steal with impunity. If the Iwealas saved $1m=N230m a yr, then it would take them 100 yrs to have $100m...
Iwealas have good name recognition that would attract potential investors, if not, they have a lot explaining to do if and when this hospital is actually built.

Meanwhile, it took GMB and NASS to approve a-$75m loan for Oshiomole

And you think western banks will just give you 100 million dollars loan like that ?
In fact, very few western corporations will get a $100 million loan for anything.
Nothing other than stolen wealth and this kind of money is easy to throw about like a hospital .
If you have 100 mil , will you invest it on a hospital in Nigeria?

The manner with which Nigerian launder ill gotten wealth. You would think that it is that easy to make money everywhere around the globe.

Populism without objectivity , competence and character will never get you anywhere .
Stomach infrastructure and a landscape destroying flyover is probably all they will get out of thugnor fayose.

He would have been better off drunk.
At least then , you can blame the bottle and the devil.
Hashtag not buying it. Only the bottle can make you that useless

Bad idea which must be discarded.
These are the things you expect from people who have the character , ideology, education as Jonathan.
The law , constitution or the state means nothing .
All things including matters of constitutionality are turned into family village matter

Jezebel

The problem is over population and rural urban migration.

She ain't gonna come. Trust her to remain on Facebook while spouting rubbish .

Happiness87:
stop trying to cover up corruption.

if it is wrong it is wrong whether its APC or PDP.

there is more to be revealed, inflated contracts every where.

just last week Ambode revoked properties Fashola gave to his friends and aides.

yesterday no APC caucus attended his book launch.

let the truth be told, Tinubu and Fashola are not in terms, and it didn't start today.

tinubu would love to expose more of fashola's transactions but He knows he can be implicated.

how did some state owned properties become Tinubu's eg, where TVC is sited was Lagos state polytechnic, many properties on VI AND LEKKI now belongs to Tinubu.


why is Alpha consulting owned by Tinubu incharge of IGR,?

I have put out my argument clearly. If you have one state your point . Stop supporting corruption is not a valid argument.
You cannot judge any contract from it's heading .

Much ado about nothing .
First of all , we are not taking about a bogus contract . The argument was whether it was good value for money ( bloated) .
There is also the moral argument of whether public funds should be used for a website in the name of the governor.
Bring out the details of the contract( not just the heading ) and proof of complicity ( fashola touching the funds from a contract which is percieved as bloated).
You do get skilled personnel people elsewhere who charge bargain basement prices , but the fact remains that if they were really that good , they would have been earning top dog prices.
Poverty is a bastard.
I will take the arguments one after the other.
For this post

One of the arguments : I charge N50,000 For a website.
What sort of website is that?
Anyway , you charge what you are worth.
This automatically tells me that you are an amateur and should sell yourself to a slave master .
If you really have such skills and you sell those skills for peanuts ,then you need to refund your school fees to your parents . I know a few Nigerian programmers who earn N7,000,000 a month , do contract work and they are all laughing at the spectacle ( just ask Nigerians in the diaspora).
My own verdict on the cheap looking website if I were to go the way of the critics

Based on how things work in Nigeria, it is obvious that someone with access sold the idea of the need for a website and made out like a bandit.

2 the websites was used to bury election expenses, cover up a hole , or justify spending .

But I will not jump into any conclusions until those who brought the issue publish the details of the entire contract .

Key questions
1 Does it include an increase in bandwidth ?
2 Is a SLA part of the contract ?
3 does it include the supply of personnel to maintain the website
4 is the purchase of hardware part of the contract?
5 how much has been expended and how much was saved ?
6 and so on ?
Publish the entire contract

Kukah has already rendered himself irrelevant.
He has cashed his last cheque with serious people.

Anenih rhymes like anenih.

Do a comprehensive probe of Jonathan , obj , yaradua admin today and you will get the same names all the time .
Thieves

Thieves
Make them vomit every penny

Over population simple.

Another BS

Buy a bicycle

SMH.

Nonsense rant.
Remove the best of the worst so that only the "worstest " remain.
You would have to go through all politicians before you get to Fashola.
The argument is not that he carted away $20 billion dollars. The argument is about whether a total IT Contract ,out of which the website is a component,is worth N78,000,000.
No of the accusations points to any kickback to fashola
Absolutely none.

ECOTERRORS:
they are all needed to stimulate the economy. UAC makes money from gala being sold on traffic than in shops

And that gala should be sold directly to a mall ,supermarket ,cinema etc without the middle men who add no value at all and who sell to these hawkers .

Kukah who once referred to the Nigerian diaspora as being arrogant. He said that they think they know more than those at home .
In fact, they are not only better equipped and more productive , they are more educated , switched on and civic conscious. Their work ethic is also better.
Mullah and the likes comes from a culture of those who believe that the law and constitution is a white man thing and thus , can be disregarded. Everything should be solved by a village council.

Apart from the suya Man, the rest feed into the poverty economy .
In a good economy , they would have been doing something more productive.
Underrated .....no , more like unfortunate.

More like expatriates based in Nigeria.

The only recurring factor.
Oodua states.
The land of God
Every thing that grows under the sun in this part of the world ,grows in The Yoruba country . Beans ,vegetable ,cotton ,all sorts of fruits etc . If we decided to start planting Tomatoes today , we will become self sufficient in a few years .
The farming settlements around places like iseyin , ilesha , esa oke , Owo ,akoko Edo ,Ore are so productive that ..................
In short , the only places which can hold a candle to the homeland are benue , edo , cross river .

Even yet , it is still not good enough . The yield per hectare of land is still low . Ban okada( has decimated the car -taxi ranks) in the SW and any citizen willing to take up Agriculture should be assisted by the government of odua States .

All he was doing was giving cover to thieves.
He was muddling a settled issue and making a new localised version of the interpretation of corruption in Nigeria .
In other words ,Jonathan was saying that corrupt people are different from and are better than thieves .
In fact , it is cool to be corrupt since people do not have a clue.
When did the interpretation of national laws turn to village matter
After all, How much Nwobodo stole ?
Ordinary $4 million

Bunch of thieves

Global responsibility ko , balloon ni
Dem help una spoil am?
When will these men ever take responsibility for anything?
The whole country looks like a freaking disaster with the demographic and climatic bomb still ticking.

Buhari should throw all of them into prison including the abdusalam,obasanjo ,IBB and all who has taken what does not belong to them including the so called performers.
Where did he get the money to buy a disco?
Bunch of goat headed ex leaders.
When did following the rule of law became a matter of fairness , especially when the law itself is all about fairness.
What about fairness to the masses who have been turned into destitute in their own country.
Wake up in the morning and all you see are unproductive zombies doing all sorts of unproductive work .
A sea of humanity selling the same crap ,on the same street , young men riding okada , tailors,mechanic , butcher etc belonging to a bygone era ,Masses squeezed into small congested houses in disease ridden environment,law enforcers turned law breakers and gangsters .
Fairness ko , fairness ni
Throw all of them in prison . If possible, line them up against the wall ................
At a time when the country with whom we started at the same time are already on the fast lane towards first world status, this abdusalam is here begging like a villager.
If Buhari should acquiescence,you need no further proof to know that the country is doomed .
