Only if you are God then I will believe you but you are a farking mortal just like the rest of us. Don't speak with so much certainty on something you have no control over.
GEJ and PDP have been gone for nigh on two years now but still every govt issue centres around them, is that how dumb Buhari and APC are? Buhari claimed to have solutions to Nigeria's problems which he says Jonathan wasn't doing well, on the basis of that about 15 million people voted for him against the 12 million who did for Jonathan. From where we were with Jonathan, he has taken us over 50 years back with his crude and archaic policies, with his cluelessness and incompetence, with his knee jerk approach to issues and now forming sick.

Yes GEJ and PDP won't come back to power because there won't be anything left of Nigeria by the time Buhari' s time is up.

I guess it was same reason GEJ/NOI had to borrow to pay FG workers in Nov 2014 till March 2015?

In September, Odaah and fellow commissioners had walked out of the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF) when the federal government said that the framework of the 2013 budget was no longer realistic and it won't augment shortfall in revenue.

“We have tried to work within the budget,” she said. “Last year, the borrowing came down to about N570 billion. But, this year, because of the very difficult cash flow situation, we have provided N882billion in borrowing.

“About N380billion of that is external borrowing and the balance of N502 billion is for domestic borrowing. All we have borrowed so far is N473billion, which is within the budget.”

Contrary to recent reports that there was no provision in the budget for fuel subsidy, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said the lawmakers actually made a provision in the budget for about N100 billion for petrol and another N45.52 billion for household kerosene fuel subsidy.

Although President Goodluck Jonathan is yet to sign the 2015 Appropriation Bill into law, Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala said the expenditure so far made was legal, as the constitution authorises the government to incur such expenses within the first six months of a fiscal year.

Why are you such a horrible liar?
Why
Did your eyes skip the 2013 date in what I quoted earlier or what?



Below is the quote from Okonjo-Iweala showing that the borrowing was for the entire budget as with any deficit funding that is temporary.



Moreover, the issue of borrowing for the budget is not abnormal for temporary shortfall as happens in even developed countries with massive deficits.

Only if 90% of Nigerians are stupid and foolish will PDP/GEJ be allowed back.

We will keep talking about the Ineffectual Buffoon and the Poverty Development Party as loong as we keep getting new revelations about their senseless looting of our treasury.

Btw, your maths teachers didn't do a good job of you if you don't know May 29 2015 to Feb 15th 2017 is not two years.

Goes to show how inept and cluless all of you in APC are. My English Language teacher taught me that the word 'nigh' which got you confused means 'near' 'close' etc. Enough of the tutorials on the use of English boy, Buhari may not be up to two years in office but at 21 months a baby would have started school. Buhari's Nigeria hasn't even started crawling talk more of starting school.

Isn't it significant and shameful too that the two times Nigeria has been in danger of going down have always been under the brain dead dullard? With others there have been prosperity, economic growth and a relatively comfortable life for the masses but with him it has always been doom and gloom why is he so cursed?

Telll him to come back and clear his mess.

They should continue. I'm most interested to see how this ends. If anything happens to buhari now, people would start saying that he might actually have changed things if he had continued. Just like people would have said Buhari would have been an excellent president if Jonathan had won the election. So let us see how this ends.

GEJ or PDP is NEVER returning to governance in Nigeria. Nigerians are not as dumb as some of you think, to allow the "stealing is not corruption" regime return. Deal with that fact!

By Omeiza Ajayi

THE Presidency said, yesterday, that President Muhammadu Buhari was home sick, noting, however, that he would return from his medical vacation in London anytime from now.

The assurance came against the backdrop of earlier reports that said the President would return to the country, last weekend, but didn’t happen, as his doctors were said to have refused to clear him to return.

The Presidency’s declaration came on a day Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, said those wishing the President dead would die before him and that Nigeria would not go back to the days of former President Goodluck Jonathan after his eight years in office.

Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr. Garba Shehu, during an interview with Channels Television in Abuja, yesterday, said the President was no longer enjoying his stay in London.

He said: “As a matter of fact, we should be getting ready to see the President flesh and blood and that will be as soon as possible. The President (himself) is looking forward to being home to be with his people. I don’t think he is enjoying any longer an extended vacation outside the country.”

Meanwhile, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir David Lawal, gave indications that President Buhari will seek for re-election in 2019 and win, adding that those wishing the leader dead would die before him. He added that by the end of Buhari’s second term, he would have put the country on a sound economic footing that it would be difficult for anyone to return the country to the Dr Goodluck Jonathan era.

It’s undiplomatic to make public Buhari/Trump’s phone conversation —Shehu

On calls in some quarters that the video recording of the telephone conversation between Presidents Buhari and his US counterpart, Donald Trump, be made public, the presidential spokesman said it was an undiplomatic thing to do.

According to him, releasing an audio containing the telephone conversation between two presidents is highly unethical and against modern civilisation. “I don’t think it is permitted in international diplomacy. I think if we had recorded Mr. Trump in this conversation, it would have offended our diplomatic relations.

I think the Americans themselves would not have recorded this conversation of president to president,” he said. Shehu said there was not enough time for the two Presidents to have discussed other continental and international issues, especially those bothering on Nigeria-US relations, stressing that explained the reason President Buhari was invited to the US by President Trump.

His words: “There wasn’t enough time to talk about everything. I think the point at what will follow is in the invitation that President Trump has extended to our President (Buhari) to come over. That is the kind of opportunity that was presented to Nigeria to put all the issues on the desk.

As for their immigration policy, I think our President has been clear about one thing – the choice made by the Americans as to who to lead them, in this case, Mr Trump, is entirely their own choice. We have no business interfering with their domestic affairs. “As for the countries that have been barred, it has been clearly specified and Nigeria did not feature on the list.

Addressing hundreds of pro-Buhari protesters, who locked down a section of the Three Arms Zone in Abuja in demonstration against some partisans they accused of trying to derail the administration, the SGF said those fighting the Buhari administration benefited immensely from past proceeds of corruption.

The protesters, who walked unmolested from the popular Unity Fountain in Maitama to the entrance of the Presidential Villa said, “Nigeria can only change when we support the government and do our bit and not allow ourselves to be used as agents of destruction and political thuggery”.

Babachir David Lawal told the protesters that though some of Buhari’s critics wanted the President dead, they would instead die before him, adding that by the time Buhari finished his eight-year tenure of two terms, nobody would be able to take Nigeria back to 2015.

Shamelessly, they accused the President of not performing. And, in fact, some of them wished him dead. But I can assure you that by the grace of God, he will outlive all of them,” Lawal declared.

While stating that government was on top of the current situation in the country, the SGF said, “as much as we understand the challenges that we are facing, there is no cure without medicine. It is for no reason that quinine is very bitter, but after you have taken it, you get well”.

He, however, conceded that the President never envisaged the challenges that plagued the country in the last dispensation, promising an economic turn-around in the next one year.

“Baba Buhari did not anticipate the problem that we are in. I am sure you are all aware. The people who caused this problem are the ones challenging the government. I tell you that they will fail in the name of God.

‘’In fact, they have failed. You are aware of the economy that the President inherited, the economy in which revenue has virtually collapsed. The infrastructure is no where to be seen. The roads were dilapidated; the schools were dilapidated. The hospitals were abandoned. The people who caused it are not worried at all.

“I assure you that by the grace of God, in the next one year, Nigeria will have a booming economy. We know what they are doing to sabotage the activities of government to bring Nigeria back to economic prosperity but the President is also aware. They will fail,” he said.

Implying that the President would contest and win the 2019 presidential elections, the SGF said no one would be able to take Nigeria back to the days of ex-President Jonathan, at the completion of Buhari’s second term of office in 2023.

He said: “Nigeria will never go back to the position it was before 2015. The foundation being laid by the government is solid. And nobody, even after the President has finished his eight years, can ever take us back to the pre-2015 days.

‘’This, I can assure you. I assure Nigerians that the President is aware of the temporary suffering we are going through. It pains him, but the pains have to be borne this way for prosperity and goodness to return to our country.” Also speaking, presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu, apologised for the initial obstruction by security agents at the main gate of the presidential villa.

He said: “There was a communication gap at the Villa gate because the police there did not know who was coming and I hope we will learn from this. You people put this government in place and you want to show support for what the government is doing, nobody has a problem with this. ‘’So, we welcome your demonstration; we welcome your support because this is what will keep the government strong.

The war against corruption has enemies, very powerful enemies. Enemies who have resources; the kind of money that even the government does not have. So, we need popular support like your own otherwise the war against corruption would be defeated.

Earlier, Convener of the Citizens Support for Good Governance in Nigeria, Comrade Moses Abdullahi, said the country was passing through a difficult phase as a result of bad governance. “Nigeria is going through a difficult phase, a phase not of the making of this administration, but rather a consequence of decades of bad governance, decay and maladministration by a few, under a banner now synonymous with corruption.

I agree completely with you sir

Nigeria can never go back to its position in 2015

Dollar was #214 in 2015 but it's #503 and increasing in 2017

Fuel was #87/litrs in 2015 but it's #145 as at today and the marketers are still complaining

Nigeria had the strongest economy in Africa in 2015 but as at today. ...

Inflation rate, unemployment and the rest has never been this high since 2015. But when we complain, we hear stories of how we are trying to destroy the good intentions of Buhari


I quite agree with you. Nigeria can never go back to the era of 2015
