This is the government asking people to sacrifice and be prepared for austerity.

Can someone please confirm if the cutlery they procure in Aso Rock are disposable/perishable gold spoons and plates that requires billions to replace every year .

They are different

How about the one about the response of lagos state government to sambo that you ignore the one I created and pushed yours to frontage .

falconey:
Enough is enough!!!!!! I pray INEC don't do anything funny

INEC won't dare do anything silly. The whole world will be watching and the opposition is well organised and mobilised unlike 2011.

Our votes will count in 2015.

Collynzo22:
Assuming the dealers were buying at N150 per litre before and the government was paying them N53 per litre to subsidize the price to N97, then crude oil price dropped and the dealers now purchase at N107 per litre, the government will now be paying them N10 per liter to keep the price at N97.
So in essence, the amount spent on subsidy reduced, while the price remains the same. The only way the price will fall in Nigeria is if the cost price falls below N97, then there will be no need for subsidy any more.

You mean the subsidy claim that jumped from N280billion to N2.3trillion under GEJ,

The subsidy claim led by rogues and PDP funding thieves ifeanyi uba, mahmud tukur and the son of Ahmadu Ali(same Ahmadu Ali whose son was named in the subsidy fraud for reaping billions off nigerians is now the Campaign director of GEJ's reelection)

The subsidy thing is a charade and a conduit pipe through which nigeria is. Ripped off for the enrichment of some thieves in government.

What has happened to the people arrested in the subsidy fraud? Ifeanyi Ubah have since moved on to become the Coordinator of TAN while moving around to distribute Rice and vegetable oil to nigerian women in the company of the first lady, mahmud tukur's father is now an ambassador-at-large, ahmadu ali is now the campaign director of GEJ 2015project.

This goverment encourage and patronise corruption to fund itselfagainst the larger interest of the country.

•Jonathan - (After labor strike) N97
BUHARI and YAR'ADUA did not increase
prices. In fact, YARADUA reduced the pump
price from N70 to N65 when oil per barrel went lower and commonsense prevailed which made yaradua reduce the pump price of petrol.

GEJ increased pump price when crude was selling average of $145/barrel now crude has dropped to $62 Nigerians are still buying at same price. Is it not obvious this government is a fraud?

Nigerians know the government that has the interest of the masses at heart.

Sai Buhari 2015

Who in his sane reasoning will pray for the return of this kleptomanic and ogogoro loving president to power next year.

The election next year is about NIGERIA and its survival, the two most corrupt leaders in Nigerian history are FATHER and SON at least GEJ called IBB his father on national TV.

Read everything Amaechi said and open your senses to comprehension forget ethnic and religious slavery and you will acknowledge he is saying the truth.

Nigeria must change and it pains me and most nigerians in diaspora that our country is being led to its destruction by this divisive and clueless government.

Innovation in everything. Only a delusional person will assume PDP will win next year.

This is neighbourhood 2 neighbourhood campaign in a whole new dimension. Thank God for the kind of people we have in our party.

Add the siting of the new Maritime University of Nigeria on the same spot TOMPOLO used as the same Headquarters of his militancy reign the infamous camp 5.

Which reasonable governent with commonsense sites a university in a militant enclave and his private soil away from civilization and 2hours over on the high sea. No other means of transportation than a rough hostile and dark sea.

Everything NIMASA does or is doing is all about tompolo and his wishes. Lest you don't know, his former aide Akpobolokemi is the DG of one of the biggest revenue earner for the country.

This president is clannish but the worst of it is that only few ijaw thieves and militants are benefittimg from the largesse not the entire populace who see affluence and riches but still languish in poverty.

The whole world is aware fuel is being sold at its lowest in 8years yet our government in Nigeria has increase subsidy claim by 9% to N1.2trillion next year. Is it not clear the lies and charade going on in government ?


Our currency is classified as the worst after the ghanian cedis out of 24countries buttje president says it is one of the biggest in the world.

Pity Nigerians don't read or avail themselves to the perilous times this stealing and lying corruption personified government is doing to the economy and the nation.

hercules07:
The Federal Government has no right to withhold the allocations of the states, the FG is not superior to the states, the constitution is clear about these things, the extra accrued should be shared in the ratio of 52/48 stipulated, the FG can decide to put all of its 52% in its own ECA while the states can decide to spend it on what they wish as long as it is legal, for the FG to unilaterally decide to withhold the funds is unlawful and illegal. The FG can encourage the states to setup ECAs for the rainy day, it has no right to forcefully do this. Can we ask NOI where the 52% of the FG is, if the states did not save their 48% what happened to the FG's share? NOI is nothing but a charlatan, someone who has not been able to balance the budget in how many years, where recurrent is almost 70% of the total budget with incredible oil prices for almost four years. Trickle down economy is what will kill this country, the FG is the greatest parasite of all, just collecting rent and outsourcing most of the real functions to the states who earn less combined than the FG, we should move to a trickle up economy where the FG gets part of income tax, some level of company tax while states and LGs get income tax, company tax and a certain percentage of the income on natural resources within their domain.

You're so on point because event has now shown the ECA never had monies commensurate with the huge oil prices we had for over 5years . This simply means the government was stealing and spending the excess amount on the pricing.

Or how do one justify a paltry $3.1bn in 4years in the same account OBJ paidoff $12bn from with lesser oil price and lower crude production.

anonimi:
How many other candidates contested against

- George Bush Jr.
- Bill Clinton
- George Bush Sr

for their second term

Save your STORIES and illogical rationalisations for the un-educated almajiris and area boys that your Association of Pretending Crooks, APC deliberately created by not ensuing ALL our children go to school!

Lolzzzzz defeated and uninformed trolls keeps comingup with excuses and dull analogy. You said OBAMA you got enlightened now you want me to educate you more.

Do a google search bro, I'm sure no party in the US printed only one presidential form . If you have such information provide it here.

HzRF:
General’s loyalists, like Tinubu’s supporters, recourse to ‘eebu tins’ to sell their product. They curse and curse and curse. They rain insult upon insult on Nigerians

This sums it up... Mofos

If only you know the meaning of mofos "you would have seen It describes the INBREEDING between your father and his mum through which you were produced.

Ask him the full gist why he was banished from the village. Idiotic nonentity .

anonimi:
Perhaps you should first ask your JagaBandit Asiwaju how many forms the Democrats printed for Obama's second term endorsement. Shebi he was at the DNC convention after paying $5,000 to get a "golden invitation"

Maybe a little bit more education would have made you realised no other candidate decided to contest against Obama based on his superlative performance in his first term and the killing of Osama bin laden made his rating go so high that no democratic candidate contested in the primaries .

Can you say same with your gathering of bloodsuckers? How many forms did the PDP print again?

This gathering of soulless bloodsuckers is so disorganised and unstable thatone ponder why they were thinking another party will implode yet their house is in so much disarray.

"He would the gods want to kill they first make mad"

She eventually went back again to review her own benchmark. Lol at the professor of the economy of nigeria.

How much really did fani kayode stole as aviation minister that he is so scared of Buhari like this.

He joined the APC voluntarily, did he not know tinubu and buhari were the hatchet of the merger?

Now gej had hold him by the balls he is singing a new song.

Why not come forth with your evidence that buhari is a fundamentalist. You left the party because you felt they will adopt a muslim muslim ticket now they chose a pastor as VP you are still castigating . Truly cocaine is bad for the brains.

He has paid this one but setting up committee for the people of Ogoni who had a similar judgement against shell in the Hague.

What of Zaki biam? Oh I forgot the people there like the ogonis are not ijaws.

nigeria has never had a divisive, clannish and selfish president like the one occupying the seat right now.

This one is being built while they keep scathing the earth for the 2nd niger bridge.
Will this be tolled? No
Is it more important like the 2nd niger bridge? No
Was it built due to david mark's blind support for the presidency.? Yes
Will the PDP win Nasarawa state? No
Will they win more states in the south east?yes

The choice of retaining and maintaining the status quo is left for Nigerians to make.

The error of 4years ago need to be corrected and your vote is the tool.

Address by General Muhammadu Buhari, Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, at the Public Presentation of the CPC Election Manifesto in Lagos. April 6, 2011.
Making Nigeria Work Once Again
 
It gives me great pleasure to have this opportunity of standing before you this morning to say a few words about our party and what plans we have for you and the nation in our manifesto. Let me therefore begin by welcoming all of you to the event.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the CPC Election Manifesto which sets out our election promises and plan of action. Its central and urgent message is that as Nigerians, we mustrestructure the country and change our ways. And in this there is an invitation to each and every one of us to come forward and join the struggle, so that together we take the destiny of this nation in our hands—and change it into a united, prosperous, caring, truly democratic Federal republic.
But before we will be able to do this, we must secure,manage and govern the country in a way that releases the energies and potentials of our people and direct these to wholesome ends. Giving this direction is what a CPC government is here to do in order to arrest the nation’s aimless drift.
In its 12 years of misgovernance the government of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, had bastardised the nation. In all this period, it has done very little that is right, even less that is proper, and nothing intrinsically useful or cost-effective.
 
It was as if they only came to pauperise the nation; and it could be said that during their time, the only places that prospered were the cemeteries and the bank accounts of a thieving elite. People in their thousands died due to poverty, hunger, disease and violent crises and violent crimes, as custodians of the nation’s resources smiled their ways to the bank.
The wealth, which would have alleviated the people’spoverty; the food, which would have satiated their hunger; and money for drugs, which would have restored them to health; and the resources for the maintenance of law and order, which would have ensured the security of the land, have all been siphoned by this insensitive leadership.
As a result, today, we cannot sleep safely in our beds or drive in safety on our highways in safety. Without power, without water and without good roads, we lack all the things other normal societies take for granted.
We all know the problems of this country, and we have known them for the past 12 years ago and before; but, apparently, it is only now that the PDP is becoming aware of them, saying that it will try to solve them. So, where was the so-called largest political party south of the Sahara during the last 12 years? What stopped people of the ruling party from giving the nation electric power, something they promised to do after six months of coming to power?
What stopped them from securing the nation from communal, religious and political violence and from the new wave of terrorism? How many years do they need to do that?
 
And after this glaring failure they even had the temerity to ask for your votes. How on earth can anyone consider giving his vote to the PDP? Who in his right mind will consider four more years of this open thievery? Who in his senses will elect four more years of betrayal of trusts? Or four moreyears of broken promises? Or four more years of a collapsed and collapsing system? Or four more years of economic mismanagement?
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Muhammadu Buhari, and today I am 69 years old; and I am sure I don’t have to remind you that I have fought many battles in my life. I have fought drift and purposelessness in this nation. I have fought corruption and indiscipline. I have fought indolence and the betrayal of trusts. I have fought the Nigerian civil war and struggled for the unity of this country in many other ways.
I have had the fortune and privilege of managing national resources in various capacities—as a military commander, as a state governor, as a minister, as head of the Petroleum Trust Fund, and as the head of state of this great country. And in all that I have been and done, I have never touched a kobo of public funds.
I say this without pride and with all sense of responsibility and humility; but I challenge anyone in the race for the leadership of this country then or now to dare make the same claim.
After being head of state, I am sure I could easily have retired into a life of comfort and ease as an elder statesman, as a contractor or as a beneficiary of any one of the nation’s many generous prebendal offerings. But that is not what I wish to do with my life.
And so, if I don’t take any of these alternative courses of action, it should be clear that I am not in this for the love of office or for pursuit after personal glory or in order to achieve some personal goal. Far be it from me that this should be. I need nothing and I have nothing more to prove. I am in this solely for the love of my country and concern for its destiny and the fate of its people.
And that is why, despite the many disappointments along the way, I am still in the struggle and will remain in it to the end. I have decided to dedicate the remainder of my life to fighting for the people of this country—until their right is restored to them.
We call on you to join us and change the destiny of this nation. And change is what CPC is all about. I am sure you will all agree with me that the question is not whether there we should change, because change we must.
The only questions remaining are determining the type of change and the speed with which that change will be implemented. To effect this, we have assembled a team of competent, experienced and patriotic Nigerians to become the vanguard of the change to get the country out the woods andaway from the malaise that has kept it down.
We are on a rescue mission to recreate Nigeria and transform it into a powerful and prosperous nation. Our focus will be on improving the efficiency of national economic management; and the reintroduction of national economic development planning and the plan to successfully manage change.
The area of emphasis of our government will be on the following five: ensuring security, in which a CPC government will seek the disarmament of all criminal gangs in the nation and securing the entire polity; raising the standard of education and providing quality services at all itslevels; the aggressive pursuit after youth development and youth employment generation; rehabilitating dilapidatedinfrastructure; and the total disarming of the Niger Delta, finding solutions to its social problems and laying down acomprehensive blueprint for the development of the area.
Along the way, we also intend to make this nation accountable and corruption-free, and bring morality back to governance. We shall make this nation uncomfortable to those who do not wish to play by the rules.
We shall challenge vested interests and erase unearned privileges. Propriety and legality will be our new watchwords; and, hopefully, in time this will become the new business as usual for the nation.

It goes without saying that this nation must be set free—from the clutches of a corrupt culture that has stunted the growth and development of democracy. A CPC government will seek to entrench democratic values, uphold the rule of law, respect the independence of the judiciary, and enforce the political nceutrality of public service.

It is our undertaking that after just one term in office, a CPC government will entrench a new democratic culture that will be impossible to dismantle even by the most tough-minded anti-democrats.

We have set our priorities and we shall pursue them relentlessly. I urge you to read our manifesto and see what we have planned for this nation. And when you do so, you will see why, in the circumstance, the only sensible thing to do—is to vote for my party, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC. It is a young party but it has already set all the others to flight. It will change the way politics is practiced in this country.
 
 
Our enterprise is truly an ambitious one. It is not just about winning an election: it is about restoring a sense of decency to our society. It is about taking pride in, and respecting,ourselves as human beings and consciously internalising democratic values. Unless we do this, development and true freedom will forever elude us and talents will never flower in the land. But if the answer is democracy, what exactly is the question? The question is: Why are we still not properly practicing it? And that is where CPC comes in—to provide the missing link. And with your support we shall begin to do just that in the next couple of weeks. 

Thank you very much for your patience and attention.

RockMaxi:
Speechless. Punch should brace up for FG's hammer.

Why do you think so?

God come and help cure the idiocy of our youths.

If Amaechi is APC's ATM then can someone help me with what to call Tinubu? Or is Rivers state richer than Lagos state that makes it the state funding APC.

Governor Rotimi Amaechi Chibuke

"I didn't join APC because of becoming the Vice President. I joined the party so as to effect change. I'm 49- years of age & I'd never thought of becoming the VP at the age of 49. If anybody tells me that I'd become the VP at that age, I won't believe it. Osinbajo's emergence is the best to give to Nigerians at this challenging times."

The reality is that jonaTAN was a nobody in the PDP before obasanjo foist him on the Yar Adua ticket.

It is clear jona has nowhere to go except otuoke after seeing the reality next year february.

Let him go tell his boys to arm themselves properly cos the whole military force will be out on them when they try rubbish .

It is clear jona has lost the plot and he has foolishly allowed himself to be pushed on by featherweights who do not know the murky waters of nigerian politics.

Pity he does not even have a suppendous achievements to rely on . He is going out woefully next year.

And Diezani his frogged eye oil minister had a private jet hiring receipt for N10bn in 10months and she had the effontry to go block a probe into the deal.

His gele wearing finance minister said $10.8bn is unaccounted for by the NNPC and till date the money still remained missing.

They just love taking 10 10billion either in dollars or naira.

God only go punish all these thieves.

Sai Buhari, walahi they will vomit all they have stolen from our commonwealth..

WhiteTechnology:
Okonjo insisted on lower benchmark to use our extra to expand our foreign reserve but she was resisted by Tambuwal Aregbesola Rotimi etc who insisted on a higher benchmark at the detriment of savings


Op


You need to visit Mountain of Fire for deliverance.

You need go back to the psychiatric hospital you escaped from.

Is your brains on lockdown? Is the post you qouted about benchmark or the continuous error of judgement in forecasting a particular amount for crude oil pricing.

Take your time to read the post then see how stupid and da.ft you sound..

harde2lah:
You can't give what you don't have. Five years is enough for gej to prove his competencies but he has rather proven his cluelessness. He should go back to otuoke and enjoy his loot.

Gbam, it is as simple as you put it

EldaTimba:
And have GEJ failed in delivering MOST of his promises? NO.

MOST has been delivered where? Into the accounts and pocket of his cronies and goons
