This is quite an amazing edifice but trust me when i say that the actual cost of that building is way below N10b(this is even when we account for 'wastage').

However, it is not enough to erect such magnificent structure but what is needed is to build and nurture strong anti-corruption institutions and laws that can check corruption without political interference.

I like your analysis but you don't know what's inside. An organisation dealing with fraud related issue will certainly have some technology that is highly powerful and expensive.

Who give this animal apostle? All the time he must involve in one politics or the other. A blind man claiming he sees tomorrow. Am not concern of igbo man to be president or not but he should concentrate on on his church business not to be looking for cheap popularity.

What do you guys gain from lying? Just last week, we saw pictures of Osinbajo and Obiano with the cooks from Anambra state and you are still here denying the obvious.

they are born to lie. Lying is there basic food nowadays. Especially when they hear anything related to pmb.

What type of country is this self? In a sane society are these rogue suppose to talk or contribute to national development? These are the fools that are creeping our economy due to their bombing of oil facilities and kidnapping or oil workers. I don't even know how they supported buari in 2015 when everybody knew that they supported jonathan.

Partially agree and partially disagree with buari. The figure he used is too high but that's just the truth but I know people will not want to be subjective in dealing issue like this. If many of nigeria youth were ready to work while all this almajri, oloso, agbero, yahoo boys etc in our society? I have met many that said they can't work as a civil servant because of the salary and have nothing doing. I know of many that said they are not interested in n power because of 30k and be sitting down at home. See the case of yahoo boys, would they work if there is any?i know of some of oloso living together in the compound, she told me that she needs a job by which I was happy and I informed one ostrich manager to help me give her job but she later rejected the offer. Meanwhile she is the one who said she likes to work with an organisation like that. The case of atiku is because of what he's looking for. What has he done as a vice president to improve the life of youth when he was there? Nothing. He stole our money to establish a company which he must employed nigeria youth. He should just go and sit down.

If it is a perfect book as we were made to believe it shouldnt be twistable..The Quran and the Bible..Both of them are fraud book..Shikena

is bible that can be manipulated anyhow not the holy quaran. Have you ever see any adulterated quaran before? Have u ever see muslims backing kibla before while praying? Have u ever see any muslim condemn five pillar of islam before. You can't see any muslim rejecting any of the prophet sent by God. You can't see any imam telling the congregation that sakat which represent tithe in islam is a must while you don't have. There is a measure for this and it should be shared for the poor. Even jaka during the end of ramadan must be shared to poor who may not have money to buy food during the eid-fitri. Etc. But some may be twisting hadit to suit their desire.

seguno2:
Why compare to Abia governor?
Why not compare with Uncle Bola Ige, Baba Bisi Akande and even Oyinlola
How much debt did these three accumulate and how many years and months of salaries, deductions and pensions did they owe?
Are you sure that you are a Yoruba sef? Because if you are, you will not compare yourself with the worst.
Ki Olorun ma je ki a ri osi. Osi o da n’le pako.

I will only answer you because, you asked if I am a yoruba man. I'm a typical yoruba man and base in Osogbo. Would you compare the work aregesola arege has done in osun to any of those you mentioned excluding bola ige. Join all of them together, they can't match the work of aregbe. Also you people don't even know what borrowing means to economy. What matter most is to use it for the purpose it was meant for. But if you don't know osogbo in the pre Aregbesola era you may not appreciate his work. Even babatope said it last week or so that it will be difficult for other party to defeat apc in their coming election Bcs of good work of aregbe in osun stat

johnnyvid:
what is this one saying again, has he not incured series of debt in the state Hmmmmmmm? Abeg if you want to defend your principal, defend him with fact and not ipob ranting thanks.

if you have a better advice go and advice your abia state govt owing months of salary of the state workforce and owing huge debt borrowing from financial institutions.

Sagamaje:
Femi Adesina father messed up by not using condom. This man is too foolish

this is part of intellectual lazy he was talking about. He did not say all Nigerians but wailers like you with little brain and hearth full of hatred. Why can't you talk about what he said if you have read through his write up? Meaning your parent suppose to throw inside shock away after your birth Becuase you are one of the problem this country is facing.

ANIOMADEI2018:
I accept Buhari has not done anything for Nigeria in the last 3yrs of his administratiovn, but come 2019, some of these will be on his CV.

- All salary arrears paid up

- All contractual debts paid up

- All Pension arrears paid up

- All money owed Biafran war veterans paid off

- Almost known treasury leakages sealed up

- Treasury thieves being investigated and prosecuted

- Recession overcome within one year

- The foreign reserve keeps growing despite low oil price

- Inflation is reducing

- The Capital market rated highest globally

- The ease of doing business rated high

- Greatly reduced food import bills

- Greatly increased Internal Revenue Generation drive

- Revamped and more effective tax regime

- More efficient and more responsible Civil Service

- All Federal roads being reconstructed across the Country

- Fast rails being constructed between the state capitals

- Gas pipeline being laid from South to Abuja, Kaduna and Kano

- 13 Modular Refineries being built in ND

- Private Financing for our three Refineries being negotiated

- Private Refineries to collocate with the existing Refineries being concluded

- Influx of foreign companies increasing

- Increased investments by domestic investors

- The Electricity Generating capacity at 7000 MW

- Transmission Capacity at 7000 MW

- Distribution capacity being restructured to inject more capital and expertise

- The economy of Nigeria being Restructured from oil based to Agric, Solid Mineral and Manufacture based

- Boko Haram now a distant ding in the orchestra of general quietude

- IPOB now a mute idea ready for discussions at the right time

- Niger Delta Avengers now reduced from a movement to Madam’s Patie military wing for retaining her loot.

- Military vehicles sourced from a Nigeria car manufacturer for the first time

These are not propositions; all these and more will be on the Curriculum Vitae of PMB in the 2019 Presidential Elections. And he did not achieve these by fluke, he was deliberate; the economy he inherited was dire. The country was running on one cylinder and the engine had just coughed its last, the engine was dead and the ”plane” was adrift.

I know all these achievements won’t make meaning to wailers because there are not putting money directly into your pockets. I know that is the only achievements Nigerians recognise. The amount of money individuals grab into their pockets.

Order is more vital than speed.

you have said it all. Wailing is a great decease. Very difficult for doctors to diagnose and very difficult for phamarcists to produce a medicine that will cure it. To add to your list. Second Niger bridge which god of otueke could not do for 6 year is under construction. Purchase of couches for rail. Purchases war plane and war ship to face boko haram. Good international relation with forign countries. N-power. Feeding of student. Moving us out of over dependent on oil. Bail out to states to pay salary of workers and many more.

LordAdam16:
Who was the main person who put together the ERGP that included framework for the IPPIS and initiated it under Obasanjo?

And who was the main person who came back again to start service-wide implementation of the IPPIS under GEJ?

Yes! The same Madame World Bank Managing Director.

Don't compare that riff-raff to the enigma that is Iweala.

-Lord

who is a riff raf? A minister of finance of federal republic of nigeria and a chattered accountant? You don't even have sense of reasoning. If you have her in your family, it will be a thing of joy for all your family. Know how to use word.

LordAdam16:
Under who did Nigeria slip into recession?

Our World Bank Minister or your Polytechnic Clerk?

Abi did we not face austerity measures in 2007-2009 with the fall of oil price and global financial crisis? Did we slip into recession then?

Answer and rid yourself of tribalism.

-Lord

recession was during buari government but indicators that caused it started during jonathan govt but most of the people just don't want to know the reason behind it. Inability of the govt to spend during the raining period on infra structural facilities is one of the factors. Investors decline in raising economy activities is also another factor.financial crisis is another major determinant because looting of public fund was rain of the day during okonjo era. Truth must be told, inability of buari govt to appoint minister on time also addedd to the problem but polytechnic graduate has done well by moving nigeria out of recession and the economy is growing. Foreign reserve is one of those indicators that shows that the economy moving upward. Investors were also gaining you van check this one from the bankers. Out tax system is encouraging which you can get the revenue remiting now and then when we relied too much on petroleum.

LordAdam16:
And under your "Polytechnic Clerk" the government is still borrowing N600 billion annually to pay salaries as at 2016 -- https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/fg-borrows-n600bn-annually-for-salaries-sgf/142251.html

Follow follow!

It is dangerous to fight corruption in Nigeria. If it wasn't the refineries would have been fixed by your President Buhari who promised to fix them.

Economy is stable but your polytechnic clerk, mere commissioner, and ancient illiterate took it into the first recession in 30+ years. World Bank Minister maintained annual GDP growth it at 4+% in most of her years as Finance Minister.

And your polytechnic clerk is not even aware of the trillions of naira being siphoned by NNPC as per under-recovery or the billions being withdrawn from several funds by the cabal and cronies. Hopefully, by na next yr she go comot, we go c all the nonsense wen dey happen under her very nose.

Your polytechnic clerk will NEVER measure up to a World Bank MD. Ranting on NL will not make the world recognize a polytechnic clerk more than a woman who rose to the crescendo of the premiere international banking institution. Them no dey sell am for market. No b by mouth.

-Lord

but your world bank manager said in 2014 that we should be expecting austerity. Definitely her economy policy of past is what led us to economy recess. And mere commissioner brought us out of the problem. Who to thank?

LordAdam16:
Yet that same World Bank minister as Coordinating Minister for Economy started the implementation of the IPPIS that has removed over 100,000 ghost workers and saved over N200 billion as at 2014. The same World Bank Minister who coordinated with the current AfDB President to stop the fertilizer scam.

Now you want to applaud a clerk with no pedigree for not approving a payment to just 2 corrupt lawyers. WTF is her job? Where was she when Malami was bringing in the lawyers? Where was she when the FG through the AG signed an agreement with the lawyers? Another mere commissioner that the cabal will arm twist effortlessly. Or you think we don't know this is her sending a message to the cabal trying to reinstate Gwarzo that she suspended.

Hear this and hear it well. No matter what Adeosun does and no matter how far she goes she wouldn't ever have the reach of Ezekwesili not to talk of Iweala. We are talking about birds, you want to bring a fly to the discussion.

-Lord

what has your bird done when there was a lot of money in Nigeria that can't be compared to fly when there was a shortage on fund in treasury? Is it allowing the looting system in the government? The highest corruption was during her time,no wonder she said corruption is is not easy to fight. IPPIS was initiated during obaanjo time but never well implemented like this. I'm a civil servant and I know about ippis. Also you bird is phd holder while kemi is a chattered accountant and economist so know what you are talking about.

NwaAmaikpe:



Kemi Adeosun is the reason polytechnic graduates are discriminated against till this day in Nigeria.

How will a finance minister be that dull.
Does she know how that payment would have improved the nation's foreign reserve?

Mumu minister.
Typical polytechnic product.

am sure you the university graduate did not even bother to read the news at all. So, you are telling us that she should allow malami to collect that huge money without do anything. You must be a joker. Somebody is doing the right thing and you are saying rubbish.if you can have the quality education she possessed as an economist and a chattered accountant would have been better for you.

Leboska:
This is the most clueless government I've ever seen, in just three years our debt profile tripled, with nothing to show for it & one sycophant just sit down to type rubbish on nairaland.

your problem is not only hatred, ignorant is the major challenge you are facing. But a little research to can help you out to understand what foriegn reserve mean to economy development and the impact borrowing to finance major project. Even America, Japan and. UK borrowed more than Nigeria to help their economy grow.

Nnamdi KANU 6th February 2014

“As they campaign vigorously for elections, you would think, they are coming to grow the economy, enthrone justice, breed unity and tolerance, love for one another.

No, they are coming to enthrone Hausa Fulani supremacy, to reposition the security agencies by sacking all competent hands and replace them with their kinsmen in order to drive their ethnic domination of the south,

the Fulani herdsmen will be armed and encouraged to slaughter us with impurity and their masters will protect them.

They are coming to ensure that my people are enslaved forever. Those who do not believe me will soon see it happen before their eyes”
#Nnamdi Kanu, 6th Feb. 2014.

Modified :
Will they loot the money Yes... Many.

Will they buy arms from this money answer is Yes.

To Protect and fight who?

To protect COWS, FULANI HERDSMEN AND BOKOHARAM LEADERS.

To fight who and who never forget PHYTON dance in a hurry..

THERE WAS A COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA!

where is this nnamdi kanu now? Maybe you should call him to come and defend all his quotes.

omohayek:
It's funny seeing a convicted crook like Bode George going on and on about God. If he was really as devout as he wants to make out, why didn't that stop him from stealing when he was in power? The shameless old fool should shut up. To be honest, I put even more blame on the worthless "reporters" who gave him a platform in the first place.

the worst of all is when I saw Atona odua of yoruba land. A thief is Atona of yorubaland which means they want every yoruba to be stealing. Shame on those that conferred him that title.

sekundosekundo:
Just watch as Buhari and APC's useful idiots will attack this bishop.

you and the bishop are the most idiot persons.what concerns the president to attend to a program on Thursday and good Friday? Because of his stupid idea Thursday is now included in christian important day.while not asking govt to include Thursday as a public holiday to make it three working days. I did my wedding on Christmas day as the day most convenient for me. Is it a must to show every disrespect to the president. What matter most is to send her easter msg to the christian as a number one citizen not to desrespct invitation by the Lagos state govt and APC national leader the person Asiwaju bola Hammed Tinubum

deboysben:
Tinubu accept Jesus as your personal lord and savour and he will rescue you from hand of jihadist.

you that accept human being as your lodr and saviour what has changed in your life? Blackmailing, nepotism and religion bigotry. I don't have interest in making any comment necause before but this your religion nuisance is becoming too much. Instead of many of you to comment base on point osinbajo mentioned, you are saying rubish. One of those is money spent on power, housing and works in 2014 when we have excess and the one spent in 2017 when we have shortage. For instance if your father is a multi millionaire and you submitted a total amount of say 150k for your school fees and other expenses but your father decided to give you 40k when he has more than enough to give while your school mate who is father is just a thousand naire gave all the money to his son because he loves education and his child. Please who is more responsible between your father and the other one?compare. Both to jonathan regime and baba regime. Thanks

biafranation:
Afonjas rejoiced at the execution of Biafraans in Malaysia, now is their turn...wicked things. They only have a sense of pity when THEIR OWN IS INVOLVED. As long as it's other tribes, they don't give a damn!

you are only deceiving yourself. If Saudi like they should killed them like chiken not like a cow. We yoruba don't support evil. If they successful, who will spend from their useless money? Have you ever seen where a yoruba was convicted for looting or drug crminal acitivites and our people come out for protest like those people always did?

Y0ruba:
Another laughable comment.

Please, prove to us you’re not dead brain by explaining how most of the roads in Osun that cars do not even ply [they’ve become beds for goats & choice spot to dry cassava/yams] will add to the purse of Osun state.

I’ll wait

truly you have dead brain. Which road in osogbo has become beds for goat because motor do not ply it? Please just mention one because am presently in osogbo. In your own little understanding of providing a good roads,it means that good roads won't contribute to economic development. The best thing for for you is to tear your certificate and apologise to your parent for sending you to school. Good roads is one of factors an investor consider to locate an industry.

“When he was accused of not possessing school certificate or its equivalent, Nigerians fired back that it didn’t matter and that they were satisfied if all he had was a mere Agege bread or NEPA bill tag. “Such was the ululation and sheer passion that when he was pronounced winner, one Nigerian actually walked from Lagos to Abuja in solidarity, while another rode a bicycle from Kaduna to Lagos.

“Unfortunately, all the promises and hopes of a better tomorrow have since become a mirage, reminding one of Julius Caesar’s tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.” “He surprisingly exonerated a colourless, rudderless and corruption-laden NNPC that is not accountable to the Nigerian people.

. Many of you don't even have common sense again because of buari.what related to the news you read with all these nonsense you typed? You that have a good certificate does it reflect in you?

FunkyAlhaji2015:
This is a much bigger issue than what this girl is looking at. Every institution has its code and conduct. The Nigerian Law School has its dress code, so does NYSC. The NYSC dress code of wearing trousers is against a lot of Christians faithful, but they have to wear to fulfil the clarion call. A lot of religious bigot want to bring in controversy in everything. Law is a respectable profession that should not be dragged into the mud by religious bigots.

I see reason to part of what you said that is why I decided to make a comment on it. You said Christians were not allowed to wear trouser according to bible but cjose to do so Becuase they have to obey claron call. If I may ask, trouser for what? Is it by wearing trouser that will justify being a corper? If people of make mistake and pople of present make correction is that good or not? Because western education accepted it we must as well accepted it despite the fact that is affecting our religion and cultural heritage. The hijab used by the lady did not cover her eintire face rather just her head and hear part to justify what her God commanded her to do. Somebody must make correction to mistake of the past. I can bet you if the case is taken to court she will win. And, you have right to quote me later on this topic in the future if you so desired. Many thing were wrong with our system. Take for instance, you want a muslim to do his wedding in court where he/she is not covered by his faith. Can a christian couple do their wedding in Saudi Arabia where their faith is not recognise? Remember Nigeria is dominated by muslim and Christians which mean both and other religion have to be covered.

Christians n traditional worshippers beta get ur robes n cowries ready if dis hijab of a thing is finally allowed by d NBA.

Muslims want fight for fight, they ll get it.

NBA should just be ready to receive choir robes n amadioha uniforms.

please who's problem is that if Christians and your traditional worshippers were wearing their rope and Ogun or saongo dress to any occasion? Is even shame that will not allow you people to wear it. Despite the fact that bible commanded your women to put on cloth to cover their head but you will never force it on them because many of them will run away from church and money collecting from them will be reduced. Those that pastors were having sex with because of their way of dressing showing their naked in church will not be attractive again. Muslim women are not doing it for any human being but as commanded by Almighty GOD. More so, muslim ladies or women are not studying a course that against their religion because law is discipline and what is stated by holy quaran as prophet mu hammed was a custodian of law in mecca then and ruled without favour or nepotism through out his rain so you can go and find out.

princeade86:
very true, buh muslim are taking it to wrong way. And i believe is nt all of them. Av nt see any of their top in d north,teach their daughter to wear hijab by force to everywhere. U can imagine that even at NYSC,dey want to wear it by force. If we allow dis, why nt allow other religions like OSUN, SANGO, EGUN, OBATALA AND IGUNNU worshippers to wear their costume to institutions. Or are they not religions?

if I may ask you a simple question, is there anybody stopping osun and sango female not to wear their uniform or what their god ask them to wear? For practical purpose you can start wearing it today to know if any authority will stop you. And if they do you have right to sue them to court and am sure you will win the case. Thank you
