Within few months it will dirty and messy with our usual lack of maintenance culture.

Contact sarkki, madridguy or any BMC member to practically inject you with their rigging toxic oil, your va.ginal itching will disappear. But best go and see a doctor or gynecologist.

Misplaced priority! U need full national digital system coverage to effectively make use of ANPR system.

Buhari has helped Nigeria to be moved to the poverty list, as part of APC's achievements Nigeria is now the most powerful poverty passport carrying country of the world!
All hail the lifeless one!

FoxyFlow:
I am also in support of us sending Buhari to daura.but having saying that,that isn't his clone isn't right. Because non of us are really sure of that.
One thing some of us don't know is that, each and everyone one of us has a twin somewhere that actually looks exactly like us,but might just have a little difference.
It might be true that that's his clone so, let's not say things we don't know okay.

The poor handling of his health issue will leave anyone to doubt whether Buhari is still alive or dead and will fuel rumours of being replaced by an imposter.

lastmessenger:
Op Yoruba muzlems are coming for your head

They should attack the newspaper that wrote the report.

obi2eze:


Even the foreigners know that we are being ruled by an impostor.


Nnamdi KANU may be wrong on other things but I don't think he is wrong on this one.

The world knows that's the real Buhari, there is no imposter but they are subtly telling him he goofed in the handling of his health situation, that Nigerians has the right to information about him, that he single handedly runs Nigeria's economy down, that he fail in his duty as a leader.

finiteen:
I think the world is beginning to notice our stupidity

Definitely, the handling of issues by our politicians is below bar and the world has clearly noticed that Buhari statements in 2015 were fraudulent and scams.

The captions read and means: "Buhari announces rebirth in Poland while the country is suffering under his rule"

"Cloned president has the gut to laugh about the issue , but his people are really not laughing about it"

The GAZET news paper of Belgium gave a full report about viral rumour in Nigeria that President Buhari might been cloned and replaced by Jubril Al - Sudani, the report thru renowned analyst gave a detailed abysmal performance of Buhari's government, upsurge of Boko haram, bad economy handling and economy downturn of Nigeria , non chalance in informing Nigerians about government and his health situation ,.... Most importantly that Buhari has not been seen around the presidential palace for about 3 months but suddenly reappear in Poland and his denial that he has been replaced by an imposter.
This Buhari is becoming a disgrace to the country and most foreign countries has lost repect for him.

MARKGREATER:
I love PDP. We are taking over power this time. I believe in the dream of PDP. God bless PDP.

He laid down some interesting logics in his policies program tho.

tesppidd:
Seriously I wonder what is there to plagiarize in two words.

"Next level"

My dad has used those words a million times.

Even my university lecturers used those words a million times!

So If I say

"Move over"

"Cross over"

"Word up"


Someone will come and accuse me of plagiarism?

Reno again! with his crew of iiidiots.

Seriously man! U are really lazy in logical thinking, can't u see the 'text' design were fully copied? A right thinking political party need to be more creative than this.

RESTRUCTURING THE POLITY

''… All who support the calls for restructuring our federation are
united in their desire to live in a society that works better and works
for its people. They are also united by their love for their country,
their patriotism. Those who do not love their country would just
want it to break up; they would not be interested in making Nigeria
work better…''
– Atiku Abubakar

Overview: Why Restructure Nigeria?

1. First, it is all too obvious that the current arrangement does not respond
to the needs of the people. Meeting the needs of a rapidly growing
population in a speedily changing global economic environment
requires that decision making is as close as possible to the point of
delivery.

2. Second, in order to improve the quality of any outcome, there is the need
to act faster, efficiently and effectively. The autonomy of the States and
Local Governments both of which are closer to their people than the
central government in Abuja will result in more effective decisions.

3. Restructuring will make the government work better by dispersing
power.

4. It will permit states and local governments more room to pursue their
own policies thereby reducing pressure on federal government to decide
everything.

5. Restructuring will devolve power and responsibility to lower tiers of
government where most Nigerians live. The devolved responsibilities
will create more public sector jobs at the state and local government
levels. It is in this sense that restructuring will increase citizen
participation in government.

6. It will increase efficiency of government through the dispersal of power
because power concentration increases red tape, and delays. It will take
much shorter time to obtain your driver's licence for example if states
are allowed to issue them.

Quick Reminders

It is good to quickly remind Nigerians that:

a. Restructuring is not a new or strange phenomenon. A number of
developing economies have had cause to restructure their economies,
for greater efficiency either to correct imbalances or to reorient them
towards, for example, more open and market system with greater
reliance on the private sector as engine of growth. Even the United
Kingdom is restructuring its political and economic systems to enable a
better union among its component parts. Businesses restructure for
better performance.

b. The restructured Nigeria in this context must be a Nigeria that not only
provides opportunities for everyone to work but even more specifically
challenges the leadership to demonstrate capacity to create wealth for
every layer of governance.

c. Restructuring is not just about the devolution of powers to the states, it is
about transforming the role of the federal government. In matters of
territorial governance, the federal authorities must learn to cooperate
with, and in some instances defer to state authorities. in matters of
economic governance, the federal authorities must learn to cooperate
with, rather than displace or ignore, the private sector.

d. The talk about restructuring, is not a talk limited to constitutional tweaks,
it is a talk about deliberate, purposeful and sweeping cultural revolution.
It is not about re-shuffling a few responsibilities or resources, but about
disrupting the authoritarian politics our democracy has inherited from
its military and colonial rulers.

e. Above all, it must be conclusively put on note that some Nigerian states
are poor not because they are not receiving a fair share of oil money, but
because they are not receiving a fair shot at true federalism. Only
restructuring can reset and correct that.

The Dynamics of Restructuring

Nigeria has operated a faulty system of federalism especially under military
governments. True federalism ensures that a strong federal government
'guarantees national unity while allowing the federating units to set their own
priorities. Ours has been a complex federal structure with a high degree of
centralization: that has succeeded in accumulating many responsibilities that
belong to the lower tiers of government. The Federal government
appropriates, along with these responsibilities, huge resources. For example, in
the allocation of revenue from the federation Account the FGN is unduly favoured at the expense of the states and local governments. Out of every

Naira in the Federation Account, 56 kobo will go to the federal government.
The centre has a pervasive and over-bearing presence and influence on the
other tiers of government- thanks to its deep pockets. Along with its various
agencies, it remains the single largest employer of labour. Although public
procurement only accounts for less than 1% of GDP, it is the main source of
capital accumulation and preservation. Its ability to tap into the Excess Crude
Account (ECA) and suspend Federation Account transfers to states and local
governments at will, gives it considerable formal and informal leverage over
them.

After nineteen years of uninterrupted democracy in the fourth republic, it is
now an indisputable fact that today's Nigerian state have been reduced to
parastatals of the federal government and are addicted to the monthly
allocation they receive from Abuja.

There is nothing as addictive as states that are dependent on their monthly
share of revenue from crude oil sales. The only way to get them to manage their
economies in an economically viable way is to cure them off that addiction.
Nigeria needs to be restructured. We must commit to a new development
agenda with focus on wealth creation by the federating units, rather than wealth
distribution from Abuja to state and local government.

To the various identity groupings that occupy the Nigerian space, the structure
of the country as it is, is not working properly as it should. This indeed is the
reality. While agreeing that Nigeria stands stronger as a united country, such
unity can only stand the test of time when there is a genuine consensus on the
ingredients and institutional structures that supports the unity and makes it
productive. It is a time-tested truism in nation-building that when a system is
not delivering expected results and outcomes, it becomes logical to either change it entirely or reinvent it.

What We Will Do

We shall:

a. Decongest the exclusive and the concurrent list in the constitution. Such
social and welfare issues like education, agriculture, health, etc. will be
devolved to the states and local governments with the central
government retaining the sole powers of quality assurance, policy
standardization and implementation.

b. The central government would also retain the role of providing the
required direction for the economy, defence and national security,
internal law and order, currency, international affairs and foreign policy,
customs, citizenship and immigration, firearms, and related matters
which the states lack the competence to handle.

c. Issues bordering on minerals and mines, internal security including
Police, law and order, railways, communications, transport,
environment, land matters, etc will be devolved to the concurrent list so
that, States can partake in them as well.

d. Local Governments shall remain as independent tier of government.
Grassroots development requires the recognition of the Local
Governments as independent structures of government not as
appendages to the office of the State Governor.

e. Once power over minerals and mines is devolved to the concurrent list,
states where deposits of mines and mineral resources are found will
have control over those resources and only pay royalties to the center.

f. Nigeria's common resources will be shared equitably in accordance with
a new revenue allocation formula to be negotiated across the board
especially through the National Assembly. Each tier of government
should get a fair share of the common revenue commensurate to its
responsibilities under the new Constitution.

g. The nature of the economy requires movements of citizens across state
boundaries. With the possibility of some states opting to have their own
police operating and implementing the laws that are unique to them
there are bound to be some areas of tension and stress among the
citizenry particularly with regards to issues of internal residency matters.
These will require federal interventions, regulation, monitoring and
periodic assessment and review. Such an arrangement shall serve as early
warning signals for potential conflicts and assist in resolving conflicts
with least challenges. Contrary to the misconception, the transfer of
additional responsibilities to the states does not mean the abdication of
any responsibilities by the central government. The tiers of government
will continue to work together.

[b]Supporting the Federating Unit in Economic Management

[/b]a. The federal government would continue to support the individual States
to develop the capacity to tap and harness their resources. A businessfriendly
environment will ensure that they leverage private sector
investments especially in agriculture to promote economic
diversification. We shall support them to begin to visualize Nigeria
without oil or one not predominantly dependent on hydro-carbon. This,
we pledge, shall be a critical policy priority of the federal government.

b. We will ensure spatially balanced investments and coordinate a more
even distribution of infrastructure investment across different regions
through a carefully designed incentive regime, in order to provide more
opportunities in the poorer and less endowed federating units. We shall
design special intervention programmes in support of states and LGAs
that rank below the average development index, until such a time as they
are able to become self-sufficient and sustaining. No federating unit shall be left behind.

c. The sub-national economies will be assisted in reforming their
economic management institutions, especially the revenue generating
agencies which are seen by many as failed and ineffectually managed
institutions within the State service. They will be strengthened to make
them more innovative and efficient in-service delivery. The reformed
agencies will be expected to improve tax-payer compliance, develop
potentials of non-tax revenue sources and block all leakages associated
with tax administration.

d. The federating units will be challenged to double their efforts in
rebuilding the fiscal-social contract, by enhancing service delivery in key
areas such as health, education, water supply and infrastructural
development. Only this would change the predominant perception that
government revenues are diverted to the private bank accounts of
politicians and their cronies.

e. For the purpose of making states lose their addiction to federal
allocation, to make them look inwards, and return to the healthy
competition of 1957-1966, when Nigeria practiced her unique brand of
true federalism known as regionalism, we are committed to the
introduction of matching grants to states that succeed in increasing their
internally generated revenue. The matching grants shall be taken from
the revenue accruable to the federal government for the purpose of
matching the internally generated revenue of each state in order to
encourage States to become self-reliant. The Federal Government will
match State's IGR up to $250 million per State.

f. In furtherance of strengthening their economic management systems,
another policy we would recommend to is to follow the example
President Obasanjo and I laid between 1999 and 2007 when we
privatized and liberalized many aspects of the Nigeria economy. It had
the almost immediate effects of reducing our wage bill and increasing
services, capacity and jobs in the private sector. By privatizing those state
government owned public enterprises that gulp huge sums by way of
recurrent expenditure yet give little return on investment, state
governments can free more of their revenue from recurrent and devote
it to capital expenditure.

g. We will promote and insist on fiscal efficiency at the federal level to lead
other tiers of government by example. The states will be challenged to
adopt sound fiscal management strategy so as to reduce wasteful
spending. Typically, recurrent costs constitute between 60% and 72% of
state and local governments.

The bigger Nigerian tribes are very stupid and arrogant, their mentality are shallow they seem not to think about development but just pure dominance, I guess I know their problem, they are afraid of competition, that they would be left far behind when the smaller tribes with innovative thinking and smart ideas start to put their head to work. Until Nigeria start striping Abuja of polical power and make regional politics more attractive we will remain like this for a verrrrrry long time. It's 2018, sane society are politically empowering competition to get the best out their society, I am not surprised we keep producing and recycling Lifeless, loudmouthed and empty headed politicians and administrators.

He is going to the beach!

It's too late, it will be one of the funniest joke of the century!

Without nothing to show for it? He spent it on his medical bill in London, bunch of idiots!

When are they going to declare Kemi Adeosun wanted?

They should invite Kemi Adeosun, the minister of forgery cum finance before I will take them serious.

Just the way his boys are slaughtering in Benue!
He is only good in slaughtering! He slaughtered the economy, security, integrity, naira etc!

The man is very primitive, a president who hold a knive against an animal throat speaks a lot about him and his followers, what a good example smh.

The failure of your over priced Mr Integrity and overhyped administration is eating u up already! In politics worldwide when a ruling administration tends to carry out anti people policies or assignment it is the duty of the opposition whether within or outside the party to block it, Saraki and Baba Body Odour are elected to play that chess game! So quit nagging!
Politic is not by gra gra but ability to strike agreement and uphold it.

The south will vigorously support him to leave Aso Rock in 2019, Nigeria needs someone that can treat every region with fairness, equity and justice, we don't really need a southerner to be in power if someone from the north is a fair leader and vice versa. My mentality is above that mindset.

There is no heaven and hell fire ��!

Buhari is an Ultra Mega Alpha ineffectual Buffoon!

Butterflyleo:
In your "stuck in a rut" sense of reasoning you think everyone is like you.

Your living and working in Europe ( an unsolicited information which holds no bearing to this discussion) clearly hasn't helped your sense of reasoning in any way.

You actually are of the rather withered opinion that the fg just began planning and holding negotiations recently?

For it to now be public info then know that plans and take off stages must have gotten to a very advanced stage.

Please go and take several seats.

It's an information that I am not interested in your lazy, demented and shallow explanations. I don't even need to waste my time trying to educate u how thorough planning till execution works, u just wouldn't understand the simple logic behind it.

Butterflyleo:
You are clearly too dumb to be sensible.

Quatar airlines have openly said with their own mouth that they want to be part of it. Quatar airlines are well known to have more than enough aircraft so can take charge of this on conditions given by the fg.

Getting aircraft is the simplest thing to do. The major thing now is to get a trusted, credible handler for this and my bet is on quatar.

I see a glorious future for nigeria. Something you are clearly blind to.

Look at a Dumbo calling someone dumb!
Anyone can show interest in any business venture but that doesn't make it a done deal, I live and work in Europe, going by proper intention, planning and execution methods as I am use to 6 months time frame will be an absolute failure, I am way above firebrigade approach and window dressing standard.
So keep your wack logic and lazy mentality to yourself!

Ajigbaleogungun:
Nigerians have known your type that the PDP is a political party that sees nothing in something good. PDP is always not happy anytime this administration is trying to bring back to life what they spent their wasteful sixteen(16) years to destroy in Nigeria.Corrupt set of people. Yeye dey smell!

You that sees something good, show use the visible preparation on ground that an airline is about to take off in 6 months time! What route are they flying? , where are their offices? , who are their agents? Have they recruited staff to man the operation? Etc

Butterflyleo:
I hear they already approached / partnered with a very credible group for this project.

It would be too loud for PDP to campaign against for sure so PDP is in panic mode

Partner with which credible group?
Nigerians are really gullible! 6 months to take off of an airline no visible office or signs of a visible preparation nationwide? I am too sensible to to be scammed

Words! And u will fly to London for treatment? Just another election bla bla bla!

APC, The promise and fail political party is at it again fellow Nigerians, governor-elect of Ekiti state,Kayode Fayemi is at it again, he promised to clear all salary Arear within 6 month, as we all know APC mouth piece always leaks with promises and later deny them, this thread is to monitor if he will not denied his promises after February/March 2019.

https://www.google.com.ng/amp/punchng.com/workers-salary-arrears-will-be-paid-in-six-months-fayemi/amp/

Please u are free to add other promises they ha e been rolling out!

What are they hiding when the whole world already knew what went down? , I am not surprised after all APC denied all their promises lol.

APC is fond of making empty promises to their gullible followers lol, I will mark this post and news, after 6 months I will remind you all how useless and daft APC is.

sarrki:
You people started just too early with hatred words for him

You didn’t give him a chance to even work for a day

So that’s our point

Some people sticks to him due to the hatred not because they liked him

Now that he has worked over 3 years Buhari is still a monumental failure and a confused old man.
