bro... I notice that 80% of Nigerians don't have sense atal... from comments I read on here

even d so called educated ones... M.Sc, phD etc. etc. and that's why we are where we are today..


how can someone in their right senses wish evil to a man who is 72+.. has nothing to lose or gain trying to fix thingz...

GEJ tried buh failed... should we allow him to repeat such failure for another 4 yrs?

m just sick & tired

“The Law on d entitlements of former Heads of State says they're entitled to 3 cars each to be changed by d FG every 4 years + other benefits.”

Adding that “The cars given to former Heads of State are ppties of d F.G as they must be returned & replaced every 4 yrs. They can't be declared as gifts.”

Kazrem:
It is not out of place for the Office of the NSA (or Ministry of Defence) to purchase bullet proof vehicles for ex-Heads of State. Don't forget the report says "out of security vote", not out of arms procurement budget.
It is the duty of the FG to protect ex-Heads of State.
What is out of place is the ONSA settling political campaign bills!
Luru should not be mixed with sapati.

lookandlaff:
how is a former president receiving bullet proof cars from the ONSA a scandal?

Super1Star:
According to the constitution of the Federal Republic, the FG is meant to provide cars befitting a president to all ex-head of states every 3/4years.

If this is the case, no crime was committed.

Toks2008:
Who is this tout that can't express himself with proper decorum? If you dare quote me again i will place an e-curse on you.

4C2215131:
Me thinks, FG is trying to err on the side of caution. What do I mean? Sell well above acceptable market price now (btw, now is the best time to remove subsidy given the state of "crude oil affairs"-it's selling at an all time low right now, so subsidy removal wouldn't bite too hard as ideally PMS should be selling for even less than N87 right now-market don fall press the thing na!) and be protected when market forces actually push the price up to N97. Given that the product has been accepted at N97, there wouldn't be any uproar from the pocket of the populace who are already used to buying it at N97 and who may not even know the workings of the market as it affects the price of PMS.

4C2215131:
Technically it isn't. Given time (when the market stabilises hopefully), and local refineries are up and doing, we just might buy PMS for N50/litre.

Hopefully (yes I know, so much "hopefully" in my projections, but it's not impossible. Things may get worse before it gets better).

Toks2008:
If this report is credible then I think we have been very unfair to this government judging from the comments read so far.

I am very impressed that while subsidy is removed,we will still be buying at 97naira and that i believe is not only fair but very commendable if we juxtapose this to the wickedness of the former president who woke up on the first of January 2012 to announce over 100% increase in pump price and that act alone gave me the pointer that he is a very wicked and clueless president that despite the huge cost of crude at that time, he still had the mind to inflict such pains on the electorates and i can remember how many people who traveled home were stranded.

I say once again,kudos to the Buhari led government and we appreciate.

In as much as they pleaded guilty to the previous charges, they are as guilty as charged

Boss13:
I am shocked at your comment. You do not accuse people without relying on facts. Are you on her timeline on Twitter? The campaign is still on, meetings are still held. She has also publicly challenged and encouraged the Buhari administration to find the girls and as you can observe the Army is doing its best scanning the entire sambisa forest to bring back this girls if they are still alive.

Now, in your own capacity, what have you done for those poor girls? Rather you criticize someone who is pressuring the government to carry out its responsibility. Very well I say this without any form of malice that you are an insensitive and wicked Nigerian and you contribute to the problem in this country.

Your thought process is wicked and if you have the privilege to serve the public, I can confirm you would not be different because those who oppose your policies would be seen as enemies. You are a disgrace to civility and human kind.

Boss13:
I respect this woman a lot. If not for her group the chibok girls would mean nothing to we, wicked and selfish Nigerians. It is not easy fighting and pressuring the government to do the right thing, especially when such government only think about how they can make quick cash gains.

I have said previously and continue to say it - we are victims of our own circumstances. Our nonchalant attitude is irritating. We adore corrupt politicians and hold them in high pedestal. We admire wrong people and consider them our Heros. Why won't politicians ignore their civic and responsible duties and continue to steal from the treasury.

May I remind insensitive Nigerians that this woman can be like us - insensitive to the plight of our nation, ignore the ills of society and live a comfortable life abroad - just like Ngozi is doing right now. She chose to fight in her own way, to fight and put our wicked government in check. We need more people like her and not pastors who still frolicks and dine with corrupt politicians.

GenBuhari:
Perhaps because the bail out funds were not grants but simply lines of credit (a form of loan).
I doubt that there there is any requirement for the president seek approval for mere credit. By its nature credit may not even be utilised after it is given.

NASS needs to approve govt spending, but offering credit cannot be classified as spending.

omonnakoda:
The bailout fund was done openly and not in secret like these other issues so we can debate its legality or otherwise and citizens can even go to court. Also the elected representatives of the people in the Natioanal Assembly are aware and have the opportunity to raise objections.
The CBN Act establishes the CBN as Banker to government and empowers it to make loans to ALL tiers of government which is what the bailout money is in part. Part of the bailout money is Excess Crude money which also has queries about its constitutionality and I believe is already before the courts. FG has no authority to maintain excess crude funds without consent of states
