The extortion is just too much

Most times I paid 180k from Adamawa to Lagos as road expenses for our security personel before my truck can get to Lagos

It shows how corrupt this country is

Its not just the leaders alone.
We are all corrupt

A society will get the leader they deserves based on who they are.

Change begins with me and you
Are you kidding me, what type of goods are you conveying? is it contraband goods or what do they call it or are you carrying cannabis?
If you are conveying food items, then this country is really finish.

Had to quote this for the extremely lazy ones who are fond of reading only headlines and commenting.

If the journalist who wrote this wasnt trying to be mischievious, he would have said "Fg blames extortion by the police, army, for...." But of course, if that had been the headline, people like the op and those who have already started talking nonsense after reading just the title, wouldnt bother about the news.

Besides, how is Audu Ogbe FG? He isnt the spokesman for the FG so his opinion, even thlough valid and reasonable, cannot be said to be that of the FG. When the FG wants to speak, they do so though the SGF, or the spokesman of the president
.
Audu Ogbe a Federal Minister of Agriculture is not FG?



How did you graduate from that your school?

How come you spend your productive time on NL without taking time to learn anything



I pity you

Suffice me to say that Nigeria was built on corrupt practices over the years. This is why most people especially those who are used to the system find it inconvenient to forebears with the change agenda of this present administration.

While Mr.President and his loyal team members may have a workable solutions,those at the field has an entirely different agenda to continue their usual practices.
There is a need for systematic reform.
I think the problem is that there is no agenda.

Secondly, he does not have a change team. Loyalists dont necessarily bring change.

Thirdly, there seems to be no workable solutions proposed.

This is possibly why corruption seems to be on the increase.

Why would the Govt. of the day always on the blame game, upto the extent of blaming the police and customs for extortions. However, i don't believe that the high cost of food stuffs is caused by extortion by the mentioned arms of Govt. because this extortion has been there Long before this Govt. came in. This Govt. are the cause of the high cost of foodstuffs. And they should stop apportioning blames rather they should take responsibility and apply corrective measures.

What about multiple taxation on the part of government? Unworkable economic policies and absence of a workable plan?

When the spokesman of the president speaks, he is either speakinf for the president or the presidency as a whole!

Any member of the executive is the mouthpiece of the FG!

When Fashola visited Obiano, it is the FG that visited him

Audu Ogbeh should go further in his ministry to set up a task force to monitor this menace at road check points. Getting truck drivers to call in to the task force where ever there is an obstruction in travel while conveying agric produce. Give contact details to truck drivers and have them call-in if they are stopped unnecessarily on the roads. Go on the media and make continuous public announcements to inform the public of this contact numbers
Re: FG Blames Police, Army, Customs For High Cost Of Food.. by Nbote(m): 8:44am On Feb 10, 2017
How com d prices of other items being conveyed hasn't skyrocketed as well considering all other goods are also conveyed via the roads where these same ppl operate? Na today police and other checkpoints don dey collect roger from road users? abi dey jus suddenly decided to concentrate on farmers? Sometimes I don't know between the excuses these ppl give and d morons who swallow dem and concur which is stupid...

The height of mediocrity is when an individual, institution or government fails to take responsibilities for its shortcomings. It is saddening and very unfortunate.

Let's stop the blame game and fix Nigeria

Your response is actually misleading.

Audu is the Minister of Agriculture, thus he represents the FG in that capacity.

Who makes up the FG? Audu is part of the Executive arm of the FG.

we should have gave the army,police and customs most of the budget...

if the army,police and customs dont have enough then forget corruption going away...

its very important that those 3 have enough money to operate...
you are very funny, if you give them more money the corruption will tripple.

what should be done is that only patriotic well behaved citixens should be alllowed into the force. when the law enforcement are wellbehaved, people will contribute money.
