No ministry is adding any value to Nigeria, they have sold everything to themselves to make money for themselves and foreigners whom they employed while Nigerians labour under them. All they do is collect small tax from the ones they bought. Imagine phcn contract, selling pretroeum to foreign company, and many more. Now responsibilities of ministries are just collecting tax and giving out contracts. No value. No regulation.

They can't even think of building Ajaokuta because they have sold it out to themselves.
The ministries should start producing something, competent people should be employed, nothing is stoping the government from taking over the energy production. You can't continue to privatise energy production.

This statement coming at this time of the month is like setting a trap for Nigerians so called NLC leaders who are saying they are waiting to see what the Government has been doing about their commitments to the populace of Nigerians in making life easier during this economy phase

But no problem bribing judges and buying multi-million dollar cars for legislaTHIEVES?

See face of a 71 year old?

This niggi right here is at least 82

How can you pay salary when you have not yet done with buying luxury cars for the senators,Army officer's, judiciary and so on

Nigeria is on its way to recession.

This is the hit ground running…

Lord have mercy on us in this country but you people have money to spend lavishly on what's not necessary

Even organizations in Nigeria are struggling to pay salaries.

In most organization, they pay 70% and before the end of the end of following month they balance 30%. It's a terrible situation. In some other company, it's an outright pay cut while others are asking people to reapply and if they meet KPI they get PAID.

But not managing to buy latest SUVs for Reps and Ministers.

Jestin:
Bring back Buhari pls 😂

At this rate, I support you. 🤣

But the FG is buying SUV's !!..
The FG is spending outrageous amounts on hotel bills.
Akpabio and his senators are planning a lavish retreat here in Uyo.
And this is what you can come up with??... Are you kidding me?

accordadoga25:
Hehehe

We can understand.

The third-class citizens understand too but just love wailing because we didn't buy the fake product they presented to us

Kindergarten comment

And buying luxury vehicles for themselves.

[color=#000099][/color] [/b]This people think we Nigerians are fools. imagine what they put up in the NEWS every day yet they take loans to buy expensive bullet proof cars for themselves. God will kill every bad leader and representer of this country. it will never be well with politicians.

Not defending the government, but it is millions of naira, and even if we used it for 'debt' it won't make much of a dent in our debt.

Naturally, the government is borrowing, so some of it, if not all, is prolly borrowed money.

You are always defending the government but will be using style not to say so openly.
Are you so timid of where you stand that to even say it out is shameful for you.
You said 130m car for 360 legislators is millions of naira. We need to revisit the school you went to and possibly collect back your school fees if that's the case.
That billions of naira wasted on such frivolities can go a long way in settling many domestic debts with the CBN but as usual you are trivializing it in your usual manner.
Very pathetic human being.

APC abeg na

U don Dey miss buhari within 5months ? Hmmm I wonder what would happen in 4 years

They will always find money for they things they want.
As long as they have teeming, ignorant followers to cheer them on.
What we have in this regime once again is a lack of capacity.
Just like the last regime, there is a clear intellectual deficit, clear moral deficit and clear visionary deficit.
Everyday is looks like the last electoral exercise was in futility.
Just a change of government for change sake.
Very little has changed in reality.

Sorry, but I am not defending the government

My opinion of this government is simple..Nigeria is broke but they ain't facing the reality of it.

As far as I am.concnerned APC is just pdp with low oyel prices.

Better stop calling people who don't think as you do APC supporter.

...and you went to NY and burnt more than half a Million bucks.

Nigeria is just a joke. Nigeria supposed to be a state not a country

There is a country that says its broke..but the senators and house of reps who own houses and cars and are still sharingittle resources of the country to purchase brand new cars and bogus allowance. Yet the fg is opening month to say no money to pay salary.
These guys were not homeless neither are they carless ..this goes to show they are in in for their bellies..if the ppl really put them there instead of them buying their ppls conscience.

Tinubu has NC lowest grade certificate holders as economy advisers. I said if you failed to balance the equation you will end up with wrong answer. Since it's easy to pronounce subsidy removal thinking that's how to gather enough revenue after crippling the purchasing power of salary earners by not correspondingly jack up salaries at every level of government, let's see how the producers will make sales for you to earn VAT, let's see how they will be able to afford that fuel that will bring in oil revenue that you focus. Mr president, ended up promised 35k additional salary to only FG workers who are at most 4% of entire workforce in the country, that's still too insignificant. This administration got problem when subsidy was removed while there was no single working local refinery. Naira value gone!

CSTRR:
But you can spend half a million dollars on hotel in newyork in just a week.

390,000,000 million naira they spent on hotel bookings alone could have paid 2,500 staff at level 10 in all federal ministries in the country @156k each.

They don't need to cut Thier salary, na the allowance be the koko

IAMBOSS1990:
If all the senators, ministers and governors cut their salary by 50% or do away with their bogus allowances, we will be fine.

Petrol Subsidy removed , no problem. Petrol will soon come down. Bear with the govt. Nigeria refinery will soon start working. Dangote refinery will soon kick start. Then everything will be normal.

FX Subsidy removed, no problem. We no dey spend dollars in Nigeria.

Them removed 2 main factors that make the economy to still they run on one leg before them come in, now the economy is crippled.

And some people still think all is right. To get the Nigeria economy back to where it was in 2015 , it is going to take like 10 years if better policies are reintroduce not all this kind what the IMF and world Bank dish out.


A to ye won sha.

Jerchance:
It's the masses that always suffer it. They only care about themselves, all in the guise of rewarding party and political loyalists, avoiding Mass impeachment,

"The Masses" are worse than the politicians, by far! And the Nigerian university graduates are the worst of them all.

Once you understand this FACT then Nigeria starts making sense. Just read and think about the nonsense written on this Nairaland alone. 🙄

Nigeria! Nigerians!! Good Luck!!!

This your APC don't want to plan or do anything about the brokeness

That is the Main bone of contention.

Managing to pay salaries, but enough money is available to loot and engage in extravagant life of luxury hotels and expensive cars for legisluters. But when ever it comes to taking care of masses money will suddenly disappear from government covers. God will punish as many that make life unbearable for ordinary citizens of this country, but continue to embezzle our resources.

In polithiefcian's language: "We are facing enormous challenges"

In plain English: "We are busy stealing EVERYTHING, we can't be bothered paying salaries"
