Yes, 1.6 million ghost workers earning 1.6 billion naira monthly.

I am terribly confused.

Brimmie: [size=20]State of Osun - Uncommon!![/size]

Osun State - I know. Who or what or which is State of Osun?

I have finished the design of a proposed website using HTML. How much will it take to host it? Do you do website hosting?

donphilopus: Gulak as just an odoriferous nitwit! Trying hard to save his job.

Yes, you are right Doyin Oku-Igbe and Reuben Abati almost over-shadow this nonentity. He has to let people know that he is also in the kitchen cabinet.

Since the Sheppopo wife is Jesu-on-earth, the drunk fisherman husband too can be god-on-earth, while Ahmad Gulad is the Judas-on-earth.

But, why has the population of Muslims all over the world been increasing over the centuries? Islam came about 600 years after Christianity, yet it has the same population as Christianity today. The reason is simple, human hatred cannot suppress the work of ALLAH. Terrorists are evil either Muslims, Christians or Pagans, there is only one place for terrorists after death - HELL

drnoel: its common knowledge that no nigerian president is ever loved by their people

Muritala Muhammed was and is still loved by everybody. Yar'Adua was and is still loved by everybody. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was and is still loved by everybody.

But, IBB was and is still hated by everybody except the looting cabal, Abacha was and is still hated by everybody except the looting cabal, Obasanjo was and is still hated by everybody except the looting cabal, Jonathan is hated by everybody except the looting cabal.

Maybe Obasanjo was right afterall that corruption has increased under Jonathan's administration.

There was outrage on Sunday over some allocations to the Presidency as well as ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government in the 2014 budget.

The anger was expressed by the Arewa Consultative Forum, the Northern Elders Forum and the Civil Society Legislative and Advocacy Centre and the Anti-Corruption Network and activists.

They condemned the allocations for the Villa Zoo and the amount budgeted for President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice-President Namadi Sambo’s local and foreign trips.

According to them, the allocations are not only wasteful, they boldly signpost government’s insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians.

The groups were reacting to media reports that the Presidency had budgeted N1.6bn for a new jet; N34.5m for two animals for the Villa Zoo; N2.4bn for Jonathan and Sambo’s foreign and local trips; N362m for meals and refreshment and N834m for fuelling generators in the Presidency and the MDAs.

Condemning the allocations, the ACF said Nigerians must insist on service delivery.

It cautioned the government against frivolous expenses in 2014, saying the nation’s education and health sectors as well as the labour market, needed urgent intervention.

The forum’s Publicity Secretary, Mr. Anthony Sani, in an SMS to one of our correspondents said, “Nigerians need to insist on how much the implementation of the budget will affect specific socio-economic indices like poverty rate, infant and maternal mortality, life expectancy, enrolment in schools, literacy rate, unemployment, or education which have misery indices.”

To the NEF, the 2014 budget tells a sad story about the situation Nigeria has found itself today.

In a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, its spokesman, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, said it was sad that those in government were more concerned about their personal comfort than they were about the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.

According to him, every aspect of the budget shows how inconsiderate government could be.

He said a close look at the budget revealed that those in government had no regards for improving the living conditions of Nigerians. This, he said, was exemplified by their resolve to spend public funds on frivolities.

Abdullahi said, “If you take the N2bn that is supposed to be the empowerment initiative for the entire North-East zone where this insurgency is greatest, it is about the same amount of money that is being wasted on an aircraft.

“And the aircraft is just part of the overall cost of the official travelling of the Executive branch of government which amounts to about N7bn.

“Yet, we have a situation where 70 per cent of the country does not enjoy more than 10hours of electricity supply and virtually 70 per cent of the country does not see clean, safe drinking water from their taps.

“You can’t see Nigerians receiving free medical treatment or even at reasonable prices.As an oil producing country, we are paying the exact amount of money being paid in other non-oil producing countries.”

He faulted the N7bn voted for the National Dialogue and the votes for travel by government officials to the detriment of education and health care delivery.

Also, the Executive Director of CISLAC, Awual Musa, said there was no justification for most of the proposals contained in the 2014 budget.

He described the proposals for the purchase of another presidential aircraft, the payment of 30,000 militants and the budget for the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as scandalous.

Musa said, “There is another sub-head for the payment of another 30, 000 militants.

“The budget for the office of the SGF is more than the budget for Health, Education and water.

“They are privatising power, and they are pushing a lot of money into power when privatisation should bring in more money for government. This budget is a budget to legitimise the stealing of public funds by this government and its cronies.”

He urged the National Assembly to do the right thing by removing “these irresponsible proposals.”

On its part, the ACN linked the allocations to preparations for the 2015 general elections.

Its Executive Secretary and a former member of the House of Representatives, Dino Melaye, urged Nigerians to resist “this deliberate wickedness from insensitive and callous leaders.”

Melaye, in a telephone interview with one of correspondents said, “This (the budget) is outrageously calamitous.

“I have always said the Jonathan administration is the most corrupt in the history of Nigeria.

“The simple elucidation to this is a wicked intention to steal, and loot our common patrimony toward 2015 elections.

“Where is the President going to that he will spend over N2bn ? Is he the supervisor of the world?

“What are they eating in the Villa that will cost that much? Are they eating Gucci rice, Louis Vuitton beans, and Prada bread or Polo eba?”

He noted that the proposals could not be justified in the face of the growing level of hunger, lack and want in the country.

A legal practitioner, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, said he was not surprised that so much money was being wasted on frivolities.

He said, “It shows clearly that budgeting is not in the interest of the masses of our country.. The only way to stop the reckless use of our resources is to ensure that our people drive politics and they won’t drive politics if they allow politicians to continue to deceive them. I am opposed to the recklessness and we have to find a more holistic way out.”

A Second Republic Member of the House of Representatives, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, described the provisions in the 2014 budget as scandalous.

Mohammed said the budget showed government’s disrespect for the ordinary Nigerian.

He said, “I find it absolutely scandalous that any government should ignore its basic structural services for example, education, health, social welfare, and agriculture which constitutes 65 per cent of the national economy.

“About 70 per cent of our citizens are living below the poverty line, yet this administration has chosen to embark on this kind of reckless expenditure pattern.

“I wonder why a Nigerian President should have 10 aircraft in his fleet and still go to purchase another one for over N1bn.”

The western world is exporting technology and democrazy, please let us support Nigeria's biggest export product ... RELIGION. Imagine how much Saudi Arabia and Israel make from pilgrimage every year.

[quote author=me_for_you]Obasanjo should apologise to the Igbo for the war crimes he committed against us during the civil war.
And I'm very sure we will still drag him to war crimes tribunal in the hague[/quote]No Yoruba man likes Obasanjo, but not all your problems are traceable to this monster called Obasanjo. Obasanjo is not your creator, so stop praying to him.

You have not change the beat to this old song of genocide. Your children are already singing the song with the old beat. You fought a war and you lost. Lick your wounds and get used to it. The Hausa / Fulani that destroyed and humiliated your people, you don't mention them, you keep singing Obasanjo committed genocide against you. Next morning you will say it is Awolowo that committed genocide against you. Gowon that was head of government and commander-in-chief of armed and unarmed forces is now your best friend. Who actually committed genocide against you? Obasanjo or Awolowo or Gowon? What were you doing while Obasanjo or Awolowo or Gowon was humiliating you? Una dey sleep then?

My Ibo neighbour cannot impregnate his wife, he said the Yorubas caused it. Chukwudi was caugth with drugs at MM International airport on his way to London, he said the Yorubas caused it. Chineyere failed her WAEC exams, she said the Yorubas caused it. 2nd Niger bridge has not been built after Ibos have begged FG for several years while Fashola built a longer bridge in Lagos, Ibos said the Yorubas caused it. Kidnapping is the major business in Ibo Land, Ibos said the Yorubas caused it. Yorubas must be omnipotent then.

Get a life and leave Yoruba dickks for Yoruba women.

If Dame imPatience Jonathan the Jesus-on-earth dies again for the second time, when will she resurrect and where will she die? Recall that she resurrected after about a week the last time she died in Germany. Will she resurrect after about a month or a year? Will she die in London hospital or Indian hospital or in babalawo or juju man's house?

I have started prayer and fasting. Our beloved first lady shall not die but live to see the glory of the Lord. AMEN

Has Rotimi Amaechi and all Rivers Local Government Chairmen and Commissioners, Rochas Okorocha and Local Government Chairmen and Commissioners, Tom Ikimi, Governor Fayemi of Ekiti and others converted to Islam?

If Yes, then I say ALLAHU AKBAR.

If Not, then the original poster should be banned for posing false information and trying to incite the public against the government of APC states which is treasonable and felonious.

PDP is a regional party because PDP has no followership or governor in the South-West. APC has followership and governor(s) in all the 6 zones of the country.

We have been together for a long time, there is no way we would not have stepped on each other's toes. However, despite all Ibos did for and against the Yorubas, you will never ever hear a Yoruba man attribute his failure in life to Ibos. Ibos voted for Basir Tofa of the NRC during Abiola Vs Tofa election even when Basir Tofa's people voted for Abiola, but Abiola still won. An Ibo man named Artur Nzeribe went to court to stop the election. Ibos also voted for Shehu Shagari during Sagari Vs Awolowo election. Despite all these, Yoruba will never say Ibos stopped a Yoruba man from being President.

But, if an Ibo man cannot impregnate his wife, it is the Yorubas that caused it. If an Ibo man is caught with cocaine at the airport, it is the Yorubas that caused it. The 2nd Niger bridge has not been built for many years now despite Ibos governors competing with world riches men, it is still the Yorubas that caused it.

Theres was a civil war and Awolowo and Yorubas supported the side that pays the Yorubas more. If Yorubas had supported the Ibos during the war, Hausa /Fulani would have the same feelings Ibos have now, but Hausa / Fulani would have long forgotten about the war.

God has joined us together and we must learn to live together as brothers and sisters until God separates us.

The nonentity called Sanusi Lagido Sanusi that started the whole sack mess in the banking industry has gotten his sack letter too and is proceeding on pre-sack leave. But, at Sanusi Lagido Sanusi's level, it is not called sack, rather they call it resignation or retirement or end-of-tenure - all na the same sack.

Miss Kedike is brief and concise.

I thought that Jonathan and JTF once said that Shekau has been killed without showing us Shekau's corpse. Can someone ever trust this government? It is now safer to trust Shekau than to believe Jonathan. If Shekau tells you not to step out of your house and Jonathan tells you that he (Jonathan) is on top of the situation and that you should go out. What would you do? Would you go out?

teejan: Goodluck kisses Aso Rock goodbye and goes into Exile with okupe, abati, shepopotamus, oduah thief, wike, deassni, okonji iweali

Make David Mark carry his Ghana must and follow his co-looters to exile. There is no hiding place for them. David Mark is against the masses and he is for the looters, they are eating together, they must go on exile together.

Olugbenger: Yaradua is from Ibadan

You are right, his family house is called Yara Adura just beside my friend's family house and opposite Isa Yuguda family house here in Ibadan.

Yes, very right Obasanjo is Igbo, just as

Jonathan is from Ogbomoso, Oyo state
IBB is from Ilesha, Osun state
Dame Sheppopo is from Adamawa
Ojukwu is from Sokoto
Stella Oduah is from Ilorin

NONSENSE.

It brought the 500 billion naira that disappeared from SURE-P account. But can we all remember that Jonathan and Dezaini Alisson-Madueke promised new refineries by 2013 using subsidy funds. We are yet to see the refineries but we know that Dezaini Alisson-Maduekeis richer that most states in the country while our president is richer than the country and the 36 states combined. Anyway Tinubu is seriously contesting looting with Dezaini Alisson-Madueke, while Dezaini Alisson-Madueke is looting oil money, Tinubu is looting Lagos tax.

From people's comment so far, it seems the Worst Governor Award is a straight fight between PDP looting governors, I beg no leave my South-West APC governors behind nah. And some people are still campaigning for PDP candidates.

drmichael17: Utter nonsense and complete bunkum! JONATHAN SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO NIGERIANS FIRST FOR BEING DISHONEST,CORRUPT AND REMAINING IRREVERSIBLY CLUELESS...good ppl of Nigeria we ought to ask Jonathan what Al mustapha is doing in North Korea presently?

No, Obasanjo should apologise to Jonathan for forcing Jonathan to contest for VP when Jonathan never dreamt of it and never had any plan for Nigeria. Also, Nigerians should apologize to Jonathan for forcing Jonathan to be acting president while Yar'Adua was dead in Saudi Arabia and Jonathan was inside the kitchen cooking for Turai Yar'Adua. Jonathan was comfortable being Turai's cook, it was Nigerians that forced Turai Yar'Adua to release Jonathan from her kitchen which Jonathan was enjoying and comfortable with.

"POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND" How come we don't see the doctor is your friended at hospitals? How come we don't see the banker is your friend at banks? The reason is simple. "POLICE IS YOUR FRIEND" is a figure of speech.

But first of all, have you tried this site http:///19rcMQj ? You will be will excited. Small change to pay recurrent bills outside the national, state or personal budget.

Internationally - Pope Francis - The reasons are obvious
Locally - Obasanjo - Also for obvious reasons, he wrote letters to Shehu Shagari, one of the letters lead to the ouster of the corrupt government. He wrote Muhammadu Buhari. He wrote IBB. He wrote Abacha and that landed him in jail. Now, he has written GEJ and pro-GEJ campaigners think they can bully Obasanjo. These current pro-GEJ campaigners including Edwin Clark, Asari Dokuboh, Uranta Douglas, Doyin Oku-Igbe, and the many e-rats were no where to be found when Wole Soyinka, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Odumakin and the SNG went to National Assembly to demand that GEJ should be brought out of Turai's kitchen and made acting president.

Meanwhile, have you tried this site http:///19rcMQj ? You will be will excited, it does not matter whether you are pro-GEJ or pro-OBJ, as for me, I am pro good governance.

It is looking like that.

Yes, the Lagos state government is very right, Lagosians do not need to know how the government is run. Lagosians do not need to know how much Tinubu gets from the IGR monthly and how much Fashola and other looters pocket monthly just the same thing Jonathan, Stella Oduah, Dezaini Allisson-Madueke and others are doing at the federal level. WHAT HOPE DOES THE MASSES HAVE?
