Ok. Noted

ayindejimmy:
I'm not convinced on this such signing can't be a one day or even one trip affair. All the modalities would have been drafted and agreed upon right from Nigeria before leaving for Dubai.
I'll want to read more on this before drawing a conclusion

Simply put, Buhari acts alone, is acting alone, will continue to act alone. Buhari is an unrepentant dictator and his ministers are noise makers who will not always be carried along in policy formation.

The best way out of this for you is to dismiss the article as another lie from Sahara reporters.

Nellybii:


Nigerians are getting tired you say. You are waiting for 1m jobs.
Have you ever wondered why you remain unemployed ?? Do you realize the moneys stolen by these your heroes and is being recovered is the major reason why you remain jobless?? Yet you behave as if your head is filled with yogurt. Dem take beggarship and poverty swear for you??

Ode... how can a thief like OBJ, IBB, Abacha or Tinubu be any body's hero??

looseweight:
The president needs to listen to men who have travelled far and wide and has gathered enough in terms of financial regulations.

Lolzzz...even if he presents nepa bill as certificate, we would still vote for him - passingshot, madridguy and sammyj

David0:
The same way GEJ listened to his cabinet dat turned d country upside down. Buhari abeg continue we are watching. If E work fine, if e No work, we move on.

So Bubu administration don turn to kalo kalo (gamble) now abi? SMH

Thank GOD you know what you are

But there is more to life and living. And corruption is not the biggest problem Nigeria has. We have far more serious issues. And even if corruption ends today it will not develop nor prosper this country. But it is good these things happen so that people will see clearly and find alternative paths. We will learn nationhood by substitution and elimination.

Corruption is the greatest problem of Nigeria.

Funny you now remember that those duo are incompetent all because they stood up to your god Bubu

Chaiii zombie will always be zombie.

Tell the truth..

If you were in Buhari's shoes, would you actually pay any attention to Udoma's advise especially as udoma's advice on budget matters created a shit-storm only aa couple of weeks ago and it's still ongoing @ the moment?

Remove politics away from this and answer as your true persona.

May you never be successful in your entire life and may your generations suffer from your woes if you don't dig out any comment made by me about Adeosun being clueless. If peradventure you dig it out, then I'd accept all I labelled against you.

You think am a tribal bigot like you? Wawa kawai!

You talk like someone raised on kerosene cooked food

Just reminiscing

This is still the beginning. When you have a certificateless president. The president who thinks that governance is all about fighting corruption but lacks the foresight to institutional tackle it.

lofty900:
please tell me what's happening

Buhari was high on some adultrated kunu!

DropShot:
Keep quiet. You're not making any sense. Nobody can make any sense with this report without knowing the reasons for their position. Where is your common sense?

Just to stoop a bit petty to your level :
You are not more pro-buhari than i am
You didn't contribute more to the installation of this government than i did.
I do not claim to have more grasp of current realities than you do.

So try to contain your emotion. It shouldnt be personal.

I don't even care to know how much you contributed in making PMB the president. Neither do I care how much you know about politics.

I just know you're not making any sense on this issue. Once we don't have the reasons for their position, it is idiotic for anyone to want to take a position.

Deal with the fact that you goofed big time on this, mister.

U ll agree wt me dat d Nigeria we find ourselves is one dat requires a president dat has full control n knows what he wants not easily influenced by road side interest, certain decisions hv to be made. Sometimes it works some other tyms it doesn't. But we've got to try something.

D argument of those ministers for me, is baseless. I see them as ppl scared to take risk.

The reason I pointed out GEJ is d fact dat he was d good guy president dat did d bidding of his cabinet, hence, everyone of his crew were OK with him.

Buhari is a different ball game...like I said, if e work fine, if e No work, we move on n try something else. But we've got to start something.

It is a bit concerning that Buhari may be focused on anti-corruption to the exclusion of everything else.

In a sane clime, Udoma would have been made to resign but that's not to be and as long as he's still very much around then he has a right to make input on whatever decision that needs to be made, especially if it's somehow linked to his office.

Now let's tow the path you are following.

Haven't you at any point in your life made a wrong choice or advise someone wrongly?

Does it mean since you've made one wrong choice then all the choices you'll ever make will be wrong?

That you gave someone a wrong advise, does it mean all advises you'll ever give will be wrong?

Udoma could be wrong or right but since there's a second voice (Adeosun) then I'll consider their advise.

Yugoos:
Just reminiscing

And we chose to move forward by kicking out the uninspiring president who has gone down in Nigeria's history as the most corrupt, most backward and most wasteful government in the nation's history.

harmless011:

Where you there to know that those ministers did not offer explanation on why they think signing the agreement as drafted is not in the best interest of Nigeria, this blind support ought to stop.
Governance is not a one man thing president buhari should learn to listen to opposing views, that is hallmark of a statesman.

How are we sure if Ms. Adeosun and Mr Udoma also have skeletons hiding in the UAE ?
The report is not complete until it tell us the specific faults the ministers found in the agreements.

Am 85% sure there is corrupt officials in the PMB's cabinet. As in those that are corrupt within APC and those that has corrupt roots that extends to the PDP corrupt roots. Am not surprise seeing some shouting about the PaCT signed by PMB. My view

The greatest deception that people have is from their own opinion.

Good day, man.

soloyes:


Did you read the piece at all? They complained that. Nigeria was giving up too much meaning that UAE will benefit far more from the agreement than Nigeria.

what exactly was Nigeria giving up that they can't tell us? And how will uae benefit from our dilapidated economy?

Saharareport never tell Nigeria the reason for disagreement between buhari and his ministers.
This is what i read .


Due to the steady decline in oil revenue, the Federal Government is currently under pressure to resort to a Sukuk Bond for funding the widening budget deficit.
Sukuk is a financial certificate, similar to the traditional government bond, but complies with Sharia, Islamic religious law.
The Debt Management Office, DMO, and Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, are collaborating in an effort to issue the Nigerian sovereign Islamic bonds this year.
Details of the expected revenue from the bond is not yet disclosed but officials said they expect significant bridging of the 2016 budget deficit which has exceeded the initial N2.2 trillion estimate.
According to DMO “issuing a sovereign Sukuk will attract significant amounts of affordable capital from the Gulf countries and other established Islamic markets around the world into Nigeria.”
Third country to issue Sukuk in W-Africa



Though Nigeria would be the third West African country to issue Sukuk after Senegal and Cote d’ Voire, Osun State had rolled out USD62 million Sukuk in 2013.
Because the traditional bond comes with interest paying structure which is not permissible under the Islamic financial system, the issuer of a Sukuk bond would sell the certificate to an investor group, who then rents it back to the issuer for a predetermined rental fee.
The issuer also makes a contractual promise to buy back the bonds at a future date at par value.
Islamic bonds are structured in such a way as to generate returns to investors without infringing Islamic law that prohibits interest.
Sukuk represents undivided shares in the ownership of tangible assets relating to particular projects or special investment activity.
The Sukuk option in federal government finance will be coming in addition with other unconventional budget funding strategies of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s first budget.
Unconventional funding strategies
Other unconventional funding strategies include plans to raise N350 billion from recoveries of stolen funds in the on-going anti-graft war.
The 2016 budget financing plan, according to a finance ministry source, envisages significant revenue from blocking leakages expected to yield over N1.0 trillion during the 2016 fiscal year.
The breakdown of the revenue side of the budget shows several unconventional sources of funding for the budget.
Key among them includes a revenue optimising measure expected to be complemented by initiatives meant to reduce wastage of public funds such as the recently established Efficiency Unit meant to identify and eliminate wasteful spending, duplication and other inefficiencies across Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.
Waste reduction initiatives
Other waste reduction initiatives include engagement of costing experts to scrutinize the 2016 budget proposals with a view to further improving efficiency. Also, government intends to extend the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System, IPPIS, to all MDAs in order to maintain a lean payroll.
With a projected revenue of N3.86 trillion in the face of dwindling crude oil receipts, government estimates that oil revenues contribute N820 billion of the total revenue; non-oil revenues, comprising Company Income Tax, CIT, Value Added Tax, VAT, Customs and Excise duties, and Federation Account levies, are expected to contribute N1.45 trillion; while independent revenues are expected to contribute N1.51 trillion through the enforcement of the Fiscal Responsibility Act, 2007 and public expenditure reforms in all MDAs.
Independente revenues
In addition, the government intends to significantly improve the collection and remittance of independent revenues from government agencies with the full implementation of the Treasury Single Account, TSA.
A finance ministry source who said that the budget breakdown would answer all the posers raised by critics of the budget, explained that the delay in putting the budget together as well as the errors recently corrected were as a result of the difficulties in balancing Nigerian’s expectations with realities on ground.

. GEJ Listened so much to some of his cabinets member, GEJ gave them freedom to do all they want to do, He never question them because He thinks they will perform and as well deliver but they scatter his Govt due to plethora greed at the End everybody started blaming GEJ for Non performance Can you see now. What Adeosun will carry tallest ladder to view am very sure PMB will see it while sitting on the floor........ Am speaking as a typical Nigerian Don't be surprise those shouting are trying to help some people close to them out or they are trying to cover their own ugly deeds. And am sure they aren't fighting for the masses except for their associates and themselves. I think PACT signing will never be 100% favourable to the countries signing it cos some will surely pay heavily while some will surely pay lightly........ My View Again

DropShot:

You're sounding like a broken record already. I ask again, what are the reasons given by the mentioned ministers for their position?
You keep calling people zombies whereas you're the one acting worse than a zombie without being able to answer that question.

What other response do you want mister? You got one already

EdCure:

I did not expect them to state their reasons in clear terms. No-one does that!

Remember, this is a leaked report of ministers disagreeing with their president on a foreign mission. Do you know the degree of courage demanded, and the sensitivity of the issues of contention for such a thing to happen?
Where have you ever heard a thing like this in the world?

The ministers' argument bothers on issues of national interest. Think about that.

Candyrain:

And you think that makes any sense?
So, how do we know if the president's reasons were superior to theirs or not?
