If You don't wanna enjoy this type of fresh air again.. let's send papa otueke back to his village.

Enough of this evil sh1t everyday

my friend, so that is y u are bombing your people abi?

my dear friends, y r u guys trowing blow on each other in nairaland?
they don't want G.E.J to rule, they believe one thing, if they don't rule it is an abomination b/cos an infidel is ruling and the only way to stop the infidel is to kill every one.
my friends, we are not afraid they should not stop cos G.E.J must continue till 2019

let assume buhari will win all the state u mention, but going by history, buhari has never won in his own state (kastina)

OBJ won him in kastina
YARHADUA won him in kastina
GEJ also won him in kastina
now another state is niger state, buhari can never win niger b/cos of life enemies are in niger.
another state is kaduna, buhari can not win in kaduna
now other states you mention that buhari will win are in small magine

bigass:
This man has disappointed me. So what about all others who decamped before now? did they resign? Jonathan has bribed your brain Mr AgbaOle

my friend, the point their is that when the G.5 of the G.7 moved, their was division, but in the case of the speaker, their was no division in the party

so friend let him move, and face the future

TRUTHTELA:
The hatred and fight to stop Jonathan, by Northern muslims and some Southwest folks is no longer a secret. Jonathan must go and he cannot be your president, right. However, other folks in the Southeast and Southsouth, are saying, IF HE CAN'T BE PRESIDENT, THEY'LL BREAKAWAY FROM NIGERIA.

My simple question is, How come the Southwest and the North hell bent on having a FAILED nation, that NOTHING HAS WORKED, and THE UNION IS NOT WORKING AND IT'S NOT GOING TO WORK

I mean, is it that they can't survive on their own? Who's benefitting from Nigeria?

I expected some tribes to be saying, "IF GEJ, IS RE-ELECTED ( he's weak and clueless rite?), WE'LL BREAKAWAY FROM NIGERIA. You that's informed and have the resources should be yearning for your own nation. I don't get the HYPOCRISY or they're LEECHES or what?

my friend, point of direction some NORTHERNERS

my friends on the day of A.P.C manifesto, 1 of their governor said this. "IF WE WIN IN 2015, B/H will stop"

so what this mean is either we vote then or they keep killing innocent souls.
but WE will not vote for them and i know that GOD will arrest them when the time comes
Q.E.D
so my friends, a day of re-corning is coming sooner than you expert

Safari29:
We don't have a president

you don't have but i have, and mine is GOOD-LUCK EBELE JONATHAN Q.E.D

eagleeye2:
Nigeria have wasted so much innocent BLOOD.

not Nigerians my friend, because i am not among them

my friends, we as good citizen of this country must lend our vice to justice.

LET JUSTICE PREVAIL

my friends, it point clear who and who is behind B/H. this is what one of the governors of A.P.C said on the day of their party manifesto, and i quot
"if we are elect in 2015 B/H will stop"
now let analyze this statement
1-is either they have the solution to B/H and don't help and solve the problem
2-and either they have the solution to B/H but be president don't want involve them in ending B/H
3-or they are the B/H.
one thing i know for sure, is that G.E.J has called then time with out number to end this issue
so my friends be the judge in this mater


secondly, the should borrow a leave from the osisicanqui saga in Aba. those Nigerian force don't know who the man was, it was the local people that identify him, where he stays. so my fellow northers help our force to stop B/H

that is y you guys kill dose children , but point is clear you can not stop him.

go again and kill more, Nigeria can not stand still for you guys point and clear

pls stinggy, permit me to call you friend, though your statement dose not deserve my friendship, due to the fact that we discuss maybe you have earn that.
so my friend, you called your president a clueless man, let us assume that you are right. then you are 1000 times more clueless than your president since he is your leader and when counting per important person in this country, you don't make the number 100 million.
so the point here is, how clueless are you? or let me bring a formula for your clueless.


S=10000P+50M
where p=president clueless
m=slope of the curve and must be an integer
s=your cluelessness
pls my friend stinggy calculate your cluelesness and tell me

my dear friend, what a wonderful art by you to watch your president declaration, that shows how important your president is to you. G.E.J is a very important factor in your life, but my advice to you is, try and see the positive side of every story not the negative of it. what KEN is saying is that, he started it, let him complete it.

O.B.J was told about the bridge, he did noting , yahradoa was told about it too but his reply way i will do it, and now G.E.J was told about it, he start doing something.

in the issue of an international airport, it is only the southeast region who dose not have an international airport, so meaning that every past leader did noting on that. what yarhadua said about these when he was told, was that, is the Enugu airport not an international airport? and did noting . but G.E.J was told about it and he went further to convert it to an international airport.

So my fiends, who should the Igbo's support?

pls permit me to call you friends, though some of you art or say things that made me wounder if you guys are my real friends or not, but i must call you friends since we meet occasional to discuss.
their friends, pls permit me to mention you name [/color] egift dguyindcorner kunleskey focus ifykillz omenka pataki and idupaul[color=#990000], history will not be happy you all, y did i say so? pls friends don't get me wrong. your brother specking here i not a fan of G.E.J but a true Nigerian who believe that no mater what you do and no mater who you are, you must answer to the supreme BEAN.
now the $1bn loan is not cash or money that is at hand now but a loan that will be paid for years and with crude oil. pls friends, say the fact, GOD will bless you for that.
thank you for your understanding

[/color][s][/s][quote author=booscy post=27869053]Its time for Nairaland admin to start vetting posts thoroughly.

Some guy just wakes up and posts unverifiable stuff and people in all their sentimental gullibilty won't even check before they start attacking with unfortunate posts.

Let me ask sef, who amongst us is good sef, na who holy pass ?

Make una leave Amaechi alone, he has been blessed in the Nigerian political landscape, having held plum political positions for 15 years plus.

He is more previledged, well beahved, better and more blessed than most of those attacking him online.

Take it or leave it, history of Nigeria won't be complete without citing Amaechi.[s][/s]

but u saw the link , y r u sounding like this? what i expert 4m u s to confirm 4m the like if he s saying the wrong thing or not . and let me remind U, history will tell of every one, the issue with history is that, at what side is he placing U . GOOD or BAD

but u saw the link, y are u sounding link this?

my problem here is that, y would federal govt. not sue guardian for this

when ever i am in Nairaland, what i see is 100 countries force together as one. the street of Nigeria also shows this fact. quoth me any were, i can prove my point, Nigeria is not one, Nigeria is divided along religious line, divided along ethnic line. our problem is not corruption, unemployment, power failure, nor underdeveloped. and until we as Nigerians will put this differences aside, we will not move forward.

good day my friends, let analyze his post so as to be fair to all party. [color=#990000][/color] he said that his president can not do any thing about corruption. it was in his time that pension scam happened, the person was taken to court and curt find the he #750000, and this is the person that stole billions of naira. please the question here is that, is it Mr. president or the court to blame here? he went ahead to retire the judge. he made mention of stolen defence budget, please were in the world is statement made public. so were did you get the information about stolen budget?. in life there must be the rich and the poor, if common footballers own private get not to talk of business men. busting of crude pipe is a better crime to compare boko haram in the north. you mention intellectual limitation of your president, then i said to you, shame on you that you are not intellectually limited but a man that is intellectually limited is ruling you. my brother/sister for this country to forward, we must forget our differences and suport any body we see there as our PRESIDENT

The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), a public-private global health organization that assists with vaccine procurement, yesterday released the findings from an audit of $29 million USD in funding given to Nigeria between 2011-2013.

The Programme Fiduciary Oversight team of Gavi, which is based in Geneva, found that the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Heath and the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) were guilty of arrant malpractice and fraud.

The findings, released in Geneva, claim that the funds—intended for procurement of vaccines and health systems strengthening for children in Nigeria—were badly misused.

“The report describes systemic weaknesses regarding the operation of controls and procedures in national systems used to manage Gavi cash-based support,” Gavi stated.

Specifically, the report found that only an approximate “40 per cent of the total expenditure of N4.5bn (US$29m) in the period 2011-2013 was spent on procurement with the main categories being: printing N919m (US $5.8m); incinerators N184m (US $1.2m); drugs N243m (US $1.6m); rehabilitation and equipping of medical facilities N437m (US $2.8m); other procurement N90m (US $397k), motor vehicles N17.8 (US 113k).”

SaharaReporters extensively reviewed the final report, noting that after the release of a preliminary report of the audit, cash-based support was suspended in April 2014. “Remediation of the identified weaknesses will need to be undertaken before disbursements can start again,” the final report recommended.

Disbursed funds that had not been used were also frozen.

Following this, Gavi assigned UNICEF Nigeria to supervise pediatric health systems strengthening activities. “Gavi has asked UNICEF Nigeria to oversee the implementation of a limited number of activities that are deemed critical to routine immunisation and health system strengthening,” it said.

As part of its report, Gavi has officially called for the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate the finding and assure reimbursement of a portion of the funds.

“Gavi and its partners have a zero tolerance on the misuse of funds. When misuse is identified Gavi requires reimbursement,” Gavi said. “Inappropriate use of funds not only undermines confidence in development support but it means that the desired beneficiaries, who often already live in challenging circumstances, do not see much.”

“As a result of specific findings the Government of Nigeria has agreed to repay funds deemed to have been misused, which are quantified as US$ 2.2 million.”

The audit presents major questions for both the Nigerian Ministry of Health as well as NPHCDA. Weak leadership, disorganization, and conspiracy to commit fraud were all factors that the health organization feels contributed to the mismanagement of funding. “The audit identified fundamental weaknesses in controls around procurement including a lack of segregation of duties, ineffective oversight, and indications of collusion that created an environment that Gavi believes resulted in irregular activities.”

Among the irregular activities mentioned in the report were weaknesses in the management of disbursements to states.

In the year 2012, the total amount disbursed to the states was US $2m, despite an approved budget of US$3.2m. At the close of 2013, the total amount of advances disbursed was US $1.4m, despite an approved budget of US $6.4m.

“At the states, zones and LGA level, the audit noted delayed liquidation of advances and in many instances, no liquidation at all. For several states, advances remain outstanding for months or years. As at 31 December 2013, N157m (US$1m) was outstanding with N125m (US $935k) outstanding for more than 12 months. At the zone level, as at 31 December 2013, N37m (US $239k) was outstanding for more than six months.

Failure to properly track and ensure taxes were properly and justly paid was also a substantial issue.

The report said, “Total tax remitted to the Federal Internal Revenues Services (FIRS) for the period 2011–2013 according to the bank mandates was N62m (US$390,000) for Value Added Tax (VAT) and N89m (US$560,000) for Withholding Tax (WHT). The audit was unable to verify that payments were correctly made to the relevant tax authorities: specific accounts are not maintained in the accounting system for VAT and WHT to record and monitor the taxes paid.”

Another significant fault the report found was that a number of cash advances were used to pay staff allowances. Cash advances for staff training were also reportedly transferred into the bank accounts of NPHCDA accountants, amounts as high as N91 million (US$600k) going to individual staff members.

“The audit noted instances of discrepancies between the cash advance transferred to the accountants’ bank accounts and the amounts withdrawn by the accountants for planned programme activity,” Gavi says.

As a result of the findings, the oversight team made an extensive amount of recommendations to the organization.

The most significant of these was a full audit of all high-risk expenditures in prior years. “Because of the identified weaknesses in controls and indications of misuse, Gavi will undertake a full-scale audit to cover both select, high-risk expenditures in prior years, and other expenditure from the period 2011-2013 not examined in the course of this audit,” the report stated. Gavi also made clear their intent to seek repayment for missing monies through the EFCC.

While the Nigerian medical entities implicated in the report did not speak to the press on the matter, an October 17 letter titled Letter of Understanding on the Principles regarding the Gavi Cash Program Audit 2011-2013” and signed by immediate past Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu acknowledged weaknesses in the management of Gavi funds.

The letter, which was written in response to preliminary reports, assured Gavi that the Nigerian government would refund misappropriated money and would welcome further audits of Gavi funding.

The letter also promised steps would be put in place to deter corruption and increase accountability. “In response to the CPA, the Ministry of Health and NPHCDA have introduced a number of measures to immediately enhance the transparency and accountability of systems. These include the upgrading of the Internal Audit Unit to a department empowered to undertake physical verification; the introduction of routine checks to validate that purchased assets have been delivered and installed appropriately across the country; and the computation of a fixed asset register."

The letter furthers, “The Ministry of Health and Gavi appreciate the role of partners, particularly UNICEF and WHO, in channelling Gavi funds during the transitional period while the executing entities are strengthening their capabilities. For the longer term, the appointment of a fiduciary agent was agreed to oversee the financial management of Gavi’s grants at both federal and state levels.

The appointment of a fiduciary agent to oversee the financial management of Gavi’s grants to Nigeria, at both federal and state levels, has also been agreed between Gavi and the Government of Nigeria. The fiduciary agent will also be tasked to help remediate the weaknesses identified at Nigeria’s National Primary Health Care Development Agency.

“This appointment will also support the enhancement of executing entities’ capacities to strengthen systems of transparency and accountability,” the statement concluded.
