How can the "poor" be identified in the country? Let me watch and see how they will go about this.

Any one that understands the gibberish above should translate. The only thing I saw is "Washington DC"

Ok

alizma:
assuming the price go high now you would have been shouting Buhari and suddenly remembered it has a lot to do with recession.
you are only pain because he kind of relate the good news to Buhari

So because the price of one commodity reduces, that signals the end of recession? You're indeed smart.

andersonbaba:
do you even know what recession is at all? Don't you know that if you are able to feed well with you family the country will be great. one problem that America is proud to have conquered is FOOD. you can feed well with less than a Dollars. what do you think is the cause of crime? all this children of hate....mtcheeeew

And tomatoes alone can feed your family? How much is bread? How much Is rice? How much egg? How is garri? Very smart guy

This man though, we have entered one chance. We're definitely facing the same situation as 1984. If the president didn't see he was running the country aground with his polices and lack of economic direction and blames his removal on external powers. It's right to say he sees nothing wrong with his current actions that's bringing untold hardship on the masses.

What concerns price of tomato and end of recession?

Tah! Some zombies are buying food at cheaper rates o

Ahmadgani:
he claimed to be a business man who exports Flowers

Not flowers, he claimed to be in the taxi business

He wasn't just a drug king pin, he was a Narco-Terrorist. He was also responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people while pushing for his fight against extradition.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday asked the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to immediately begin a comprehensive investigation into allegations of abuse of state funds and the deployment of same for votes buying during the November 2016 governorship election in Ondo State.

It described as absurd, criminal and unacceptable a situation where the future of Nigerians were mortgaged because of the desperation of politicians to grab and hold onto political power.

The PDP in a statement by the spokesman of its National Caretaker Committee, Dayo Adeyeye, lamented that the alleged release of funds by the Presidency to Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State to buy votes in Ondo had rubbished the image and integrity of President Muhammadu Buhari.


It further urged the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and the media to brace up to the challenge of investigating and exposing such crimes and misdeeds that threaten the future of Nigeria’s democracy.
It lamented that “a situation where democratic tenets on unhindered citizen participation, the rule of law, majority rule and performance of candidate and party will no longer determine electoral successes but by survival of the fittest through cruel, careless and brazen votes buying, intimidation and other kinds of manipulation at the polling units was very sad.”

The statement, which was titled “On Ondo 2016 Guber: Governor Amosun Reveals How Votes Were Bought In Ondo State by The APC And His Plans To Become Nigeria’s Next Senate President” reads: “We have been reliably informed of the arrogance and latitude displayed by the Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle Amosun in which he revealed how his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) manipulated votes in the November 26, 2016 Ondo State Gubernatorial Election.

“Governor of Ogun State, Senator Ibikunle was caught on tape during a meeting with the Ogun State House of Assembly and National Assembly members from the state about two weeks ago making shocking revelations of how the APC spent N1,000,000 (One million naira only) in each polling unit during the just concluded gubernatorial election in Ondo State.’’

The statement noted that  “this revelation has once again vindicated the PDP by indicting the trio of security agencies who keep failing in their mandates under this present government to maintain law and order during elections in Nigeria; the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) who abandons its responsibility by law to conduct free, fair, unbiased and credible electoral processes in the country; and the Ruling APC Government that should ensure constitutional compliance towards the conduct of credible elections especially, as a government that is constantly whining on issue of ‘corruption’ as if it cares.”

blackfase:
I totally agree with you. Most of these kleps hid behind the campaign nonsense to perpetrate these evil without his knowledge but that doesn't remove Jonathan from being a totally dumb nit.

Not trying to exonerate him of corruption

The silence of the president toward killings of "infidels" is deafening. IPOB Agitators, Shiites and now southern Kaduna.

Hehehe... i'm expecting some ZOMBIES to come n defend this failed government. Spending such Huge amount on generator means the government isn't ready to fix power anytime soon... If Fayose talks, some people will say he's insulting the President.

Hold on, has it ever occurred to anyone that GEJ might not even know about this? That is man just purchased all these under the guise of campaign? They said the SUV weren't even used.

I thought people were saying Magu isn't going anywhere... Imagine them detaining him in EFCC cell

Despite an economy in recession, the federal government plans to spend over one billion Naira on public relations and media lobby in 2017, a review of proposed allocations to the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture has revealed.
According to the proposals submitted last month to the National Assembly by President Muhammadu Buhari, the ministry wants to spend one billion, three hundred and fifty two million, one hundred thousand and twenty three thousand, nine hundred and eight Naira (N1,352,123,908) on schemes to influence citizens’ opinion, lobby local and foreign media and other public relations targets.
The ministry is headed by Lai Mohammed, a former spokesperson of the ruling All Progressives Congress. The ministry’s total budget proposal of N49,464,302,080 for 2017 is higher than the N45,162,776,886 it got last year.
It appears the funds budgeted for PR and other media targets, as well as some expenditures like “governance and institutional reforms” proposed to gulp N1.9 billion, are principally responsible for the increase.
In the 2017 budget proposal, Mr. Mohammed’s ministry proposes to spend N100 million on “foreign media PR/ lobby consultancy” and another N100 million to “interact with stakeholders” which, according to the ministry, include the Nigerian Guild of Editors, Nigerian Union of Journalists, bloggers, online publishers and Newspapers Publishers Association of Nigeria.
While the government wants to use N100 million to organize “quarterly opinion polls”, it also budgets N270 million for town hall meetings.
The government also proposes to commit a sum N409, 240,600 on “grassroots public enlightenment campaign on government policies and programmes (including cost of production of materials and IEC on government achievements).”
Also, in 2017, Nigerians could see a lot of Mr. Mohammed or his paid nominees moving from one newspaper house to another and appearing on radio as well as television programmes hosted by “influencers and analysts.”


For this plan, the government wants N180 million to be spent by the Ministry of Information and Culture on “ministerial media appearances with influencers and analysts on TV, radio, social and print media.”
And there is another N192,883,308 budgeted for “publicity and advertisements”.
It is not clear what the government plans to do with hundreds of millions budgeted to “lobby” foreign media, interact with journalists or facilitate the minister’s media appearances with analysts and influencers.
Pressed to comment on the proposals, Mr. Mohammed’s special assistant, Segun Adeyemi, declined, asking our correspondent to contact the minister instead. But Mr. Mohammed could not be reached on phone.
An official in the ministry, however, pledged that the funds would not to be diverted. The official said the government had a responsibility to ensure citizens understand the policies of the government and appreciate its achievement so that the government would not be cast in bad light by the opposition.
The official insisted “it is barely possible for any official to corruptly enrich himself or herself in the present government.”
The Muhammadu Buhari administration came to power on the back of promises to tackle corruption and wastes that constitute barriers to utilisation of funds for developmental objectives.
A further review of the ministry’s breakdown however revealed there are at least two instances of budgeting for one item twice.
The ministry proposes N44,181,840 for “purchase of office furniture and fittings” in line 23010112; and in another place, line FMOI&32443591, the ministry plans to spend another N83,500,000 on ‘purchase of office furniture and equipment.”
Then, in line 23010105, the ministry makes provision for “purchase of motor vehicles” with the sum of N97,200,000. But the same item – “purchase of motor vehicles” – also comes in line FM01&04520205 and gets N97,100,000 vote.
These repetitions and other curious budgetary proposals are some of the issues Nigerians would expect the National Assembly to review in the proposed budget.
