This budget of noise and mockery, I strongly believed will turn out to be the best in Nigeria. Surely those behind the downfall of this government will definitely be disappointed and shamed. Nigerians like most people here don't are not constructive with their ideas. It is very clear that most persons in government today both in the civil service and the national assembly are strongly against its success. Thank God the national assembly got it right this time by giving the full chance to do their job. It should not be a surprise that this manipulation has being in our budget in the past only for the executive to influence its speedy passage by the NA. There should be no need for fear, let the error be known and corrected. Let the NA do their job and stop making noise about errors. Those responsible for budget compilation and draft in the ministries/agencies as well as the office of budget of the federation should be properly investigated and sanctioned accordingly. All I see is politicians and enemies at work, but the interest of Nigerians is greater than theirs and will surely subdue them.
caleb404: APC.... These guys do not get it. We reject you in the SS and SE. If dem do elections again, we go still vote Jonathan and PDP or APGA... Are we stopping you guys from enjoying your change?
Na una get federal, na una get states pass, what do you want with South South and South East?? So you guys can mange us the way Aregbesola is managing Osun? Do we look like fools in your eyes?
Do you see any Niger Deltan apart from the slaves (Amaechi, and his ilks) complaining? Can't you see the 2 states managed by APC in SS/SE... (Imo and Edo) are almost dead?
We reject you in all entirety. Hold election again today and see APC lose by even a greater margin.
You should be out of your senses, its your miserable state that is dead, not Edo. Useless biafra people.
TechRez: If you are sharing your family experiences here, then there is no problem. I am proudly bini and my family is not lazy.. You don't go online talking on issues you have little or no knowledge on.
The so-called Edo government is the 3Rd most indebted state in Nigeria with its debt profile rating over 200 billion naira and you come here sprewing ill-thoughts comments.
Let me be clear that I don't have time to waste my intellectual energy on APC or PDP. Both parties and Indeed all political parties in Nigeria and their members have no clear-cut political ideologies. Soon, the pro-active youth, of course not your likes with rise up and kick start a revolution that will expunge the curse from the black race.
I didn't need to go to Lagos or change my name to another tribe, I made my life useful and built my blog to where it is today, all from Benin. When companies from Lagos contact me and I tell then we are in Benin, they are always shocked and we love it.. Because at some point it shows one can actually make his life useful where ever he is if he has got the will and tenacity. I have seen orphans who are millionaires, life is not luck. life is all about choices which we exclusive make and affect us in future, good or bad.
The next time you try to make irresponsible statements against a tribe, know that it's wrong to be be-clouded by your own family experiences to make a general claim that's right in your perception but wrong in reality. Please take a seat!
ajebuter: Gradually, Nigerians are seeing APC for the scam they are
The only state they function well is my home state of Lagos, under Fashola
That is because they tax us heavily for the air we breathe and the blood in our veins
Let's see how far rigging will take them henceforth when Naija don shine their eyes
I know those people decamped to collect money from PDP, but coming to the election proper, they will surely vote APC. We know all this level for long. God will never allow PDP for Edo people, Amen.
[quote author=erunz post=42864596]WE THE INDIGINES OF EDO, HAVE ALREADY SAID IT. NO ROOM FOR APC AGAIN ENOUGH OF THEIR NOISE [/quote You are alone and on your own. PDP? God forbid.
lukecent: Was telling ma cousin last night that the way am seeing things PDP will take over Edo state. Edo people were disappointed. Adams na scam
PDP can never never win Edo, don't let your baseless imagination fool you. Who wants to decamp can do so but certainly APC will win the coming election with or without those decamping. PDPs are just making noise they have nothing to offer as evident from 1999 to 2008. APC through the comrade governor have really transformed the state. The power belongs to Edo people not for PDP. The people will decide rightly when the time come.
BELAEBY: truth be told. the govt is as hypocritical as the devil himself. if pmb can work with Ameachi, Fashola, and other corrupt politicians, including tinubu, then nigeria is headed for disaster. now imagine how corrupt his cabinets members are and saint pmb keep working with them. lawless and clueless regime... let's stand up for what is right
What justification do you have that Amechi, Fashola, Tinubu are corrupt? PDP is just begging for public sympatic but its too late. What do they mean by being selective if I may ask, is EFCC going to go for those who did not steal our money because they want to prove not bias. PDP has being in governance at the central and in many states for the past 16 wasted and corrupt years so it is very much logical that 95% of those to be indicted and later sentenced for corrupt cases should be PDP.
film2: The impostor above me though, Are you sure you are not from DASUKI'S lineage because you just bribed the mods to make you the FTC... What kind of Stupid intelligence did they discover that we are hearing about it is not as if they have stopped the attack but just an INTEL this will make them now to revisit their planned attack an come out with a bloodier plan...And some gullible individuals will commend the people who released this to the press I know this is one of APC lies for us to believe the government is working if I hear...$1=305 and still counting (under 8months)..
So with $1 = 305, how does it affect you? Abi e make u nor see food chop for your house? If e like make e be $1=10000000. Na u go cry tire.
Adeoba10: We are talking of federal level, not state level.... Ambode will probe fashola not Buhari.... U pdp folks should get dis, d past federal administration was led by pdp so d issue of war against corruption will involve 99% of pdp members. After 4years of Apc tenure, if pdp shld win d election, dey will also probe Apc members, i tink dis will reduce d rate of corruption....
God forbid PDP can never win election to be in charge of our dear nation, never, never, never again.
RareDiamond: This is a tyrannical government with no shame. This government of evil vendetta must be stopped by all sane minds. This APC government is a government who does not tolerate useful criticisms nor have respect for the constitution and the judiciary.
I pity m0rons who blindly support this government of blamocracy. Ebola killed 11 under Jonathan while Lassa fever has so far killed 44 under Buhari. There are controversies surrounding the 2016 budget, the Naira is on a free fall while the Nigerian economy which became the largest in Africa and 5th fastest growing under the leadership of Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala is on a decline with Industrialists and businesses complaining, most infrastructural projects have been unjustifiably delayed if not stopped. Yet this APC GOVERNMENT WHICH PROMISED TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING HAVE INSTEAD HIT THE SKY FLYING TO DIFFERENT COUNTRIES WITH NOTHING TO SHOW.
You mean Morons like u? What criticism can come from a criminal? Ebola killed only 11 persons during GEJ regime, how many people died of common malaria then? How many cases of infant and maternal death was recorded during GEJ period? Nigeria the largest economy on mere speculation and what did you benefited? I can see u are still dreaming, just try to wake up.
Pavarottii: How is he a criminal? Has any court declared him guilty?
He is a suspected criminal and need to be on handcuff. By certainly when the court find him guilty, he will then remain in prison and will no longer need the handcuff.
IVORY2009: When will Fashola be handcuff, until the fight against corruption is cut accross all boards, inrespective of party affiliations, den it will still be regarded as impunity, @ least the last 16yrs of PDP, people like Bode George a big time pdp fellow was sent to prison for corruption related issue, until we see dat happening in this Govt, den the fight against corruption remains selective.
You hear say fashola collect money from Dasuki? Abi fashola thief money pass Former Gov. Uduagan of Delta state. I see say na trouble u dey find.
id911: Mrs Adeosun must be removed or redeployed to another ministry for the good of our economy. She does not understand the direction of our economic projectile.
I wonder what the President is still waiting for
Who ever understood the direction of Nigeria economy and what justification do you have for it. People just talk anyhow. You that know much why not give a suggestion? The simple problem is that for a very long time our previous government paid deaf ear to diversification of the economy, now crude oil price have dropped unimaginable. Why not take time to research on the state of other oil dependent economies and judge from that instead of talking nonsense here. You think the economic problem will be solved overnight.
Trillyonaire: The only country where November Salaries paid in December are a cause for celebration
Where Power being supplied by the "Power" company is a thing of Joy
We need deliverance from the spirit of mediocrity
You just comment without reading and understanding the post. The salary was paid on wednesday 25th November 2015. Take time to read before u contribute, people like u are the ones taking this country backward.
benom: I can see the PDP led social media campaign against Oshiomole has found its way to Nairaland. You can check out their Facebook page. It is called Edo Political Forum. It is a PDP led social media campaign. They stage things like these and post it on social media. We the Edo people know who we stand with. The election results will tell for themselves when the time come. We rejected Anenih, Igbinedion and the PDP a long time ago and we have not changed our minds.
Thanks for that, all these are the handiwork of frustrated PDP members in Edo. I cant imagine some stupid people on this platform making comments on what they know nothing about. Come next election we will all know truely who Edo people support.
Ikengawo: I challenge anyone to post me examples of Job creation. I am not saying they don't exist though I believe this, I am simply laying the evidence before you to make your own conclusion as a voter.
November Nigeria: Virgin Atlantic May Have Pulled Out of Nigeria, Sacks Nigerian Staff
Quote: "We fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49 per cent as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour... watchdogs (regulatory body) that didn't know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point... Nigerian people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane... that may be irony because the people make up the politicians." http://allafrica.com/stories/201511090151.html
September Mobil Oil Nigeria records 39% profit decline Quote: The financial results of the company for the period ended 30th September 2015 published by theNigerian Stock Exchange today showed that profit before tax fell 33.5 per cent http://naija247news.com/2015/10/mobil-oil-nigeria-records-39-profit-decline/
You have done a very lazy and poor presentation because you want to quickly criticize the present government. Why not carefully go to your links to give details of what their profit were as against 2014. Most of drop in profit or whatsoever is based on planned target by the companies. Your posting is not constructive enough. For Job created, the government have made people like you to spend more of their useful time on nairaland looking for senseless post like this to ease their self induced pain and bitterness over the government of PMB.

YOU TELL ME INDUSTRIES ISHIOMOLE BUILT
You mean the juice extraction company at Ehor is awaiting the arrival of automated machines, this statement proves you are a big disappointment. With you ignorant analysis, it is obvious that the protesters have no genuine reason. We know the PDP are at work but nothing can erase the good work of the comrade governor. On the land tenancy tax, why are Edo people complaining whereas this same jobless people organize themselves as community youths and leaders to rip innocent people of their hard earned money in the guise of community development levies. Most of these community leaders earn so much from this illegal tax and nobody have ever protested.
erunz: NA SO OSHIOMOLE IS THE BIGGEST SCAM THAT HAVE BEFALL EDO STATE, LUCKY IGBENEDION WAS CORRUPT, HE LOOTED EDO. BUT BUILT INDUSTRIES, PAID EDO STUDENT BURSARY, BUILT HOSTEL FOR STATED OWNED UNIVERSITY. ASK OSHIOMOLE WHAT HE HAS GIVEN TO EDO STATE, NOTHING BUT NOISE AND A NEW WIFE.
He has done well for Edo people, with the drop in oil revenue and the low monthly allocation from Abuja, every wise government need to look elsewhere to generate revenue to run the state. Edo people should wake up and support the government, you don't expect development without contributing your own quotas. How much are they really paying for taxes if may ask? It is time the government adopt an effectives means of taxation and let everybody who earn income pay what is required by law to the government. I see the protesters as mere enemy of progress and this must be the handiwork on PDP but they should know that no matter their antics they will never smell The government sit in the next election.
rozayx5: sharap this 16year line is stale. when apc where campaigning they knew pdp had ruled for 16 years. they shud better keep their foccking promises. cant wait to stone any apc fool in uyo come 2019
If u have sense you will know that definately APC will surely fulfil their promises to Nigerians. The party still have years to rule this country. U should better go and get something doing to take care of ur financial needs instead of putting all ur hope in the 5k campaign promise
I think we easily forget things in this country or people like u are talking just to show some stupidity. This issue of paying some token to unemployed graduates came up in the last house of representatives and the pdp law makers total rejected it without giving room to deliberate on it. If this proposal can be thrown out when oil price was favourable then what nonsense are the pdp senators trying to prove? It is clear that the pdp are always trying to instigate the people against the present government but only senseless Nigerians will buy their antics. Even if this present administration promise payment to the unemployed, I don't think this is the right time to come up with such program considering the present price of crude oil and its resultant effect on our economy coupled with unprecedented corruption of the last pdp government. Its too early for anyone to complain cos its not late yet, the program can commence anytime.pdp senators should go and bury their head in shame, it was a promise by APC so it should not be pdp that should drive it. They did nothing in the past 16 years, useless party.
liberty300: Oga GEJ, pls give the dullard some tips..he's plunging our economy into crisis and doesn't seem to care.
When was the economy better and what did you gained from it? With the price of crude oil at it highest ever during his tenure, the clueless GEJ could not take the country anywhere. Before he left office, many states could not pay workers, Nigerian foreign dept profile rose as never before, corruption was at it maximum level ever, no megawatt added to the national grid, money spent on security with nothing to show for it. He is busy running around Aso Rock begging for pardon, well all Nigerians want is for GEJ to return his loot and never come around Aso Rock again, afterall he was there for over six years without making any impact. For the clueless GEJ supporters you people still have a long time to recover. For the True Nigerians let me say thank you once again for voting out the clueless master.
onismate: I know some people will come here to say the meeting is about saraki's trial at CCT but I don't think so. the meeting I suspect is about screaning of ministers
The house of rep are not needed in screening of the ministers to be, so think properly.
When she was handling our economy, d masturbators taught it was easy, only 3 months of thier leadership we have lost 4.1 trillion naira worth of investment through d buharinomics method of using body odour to chase out investors..
They call it body language but we d wailers calls it witchcraft and wizardry
Her contribution to GEJ government, no doubt didnt impact meaningfully to your life, hope you are aware of that?
Krucifax: Much has been made of President Buhari's recent appointments. Some see them as being nepotism, with him giving a majority of the appointments so far to Northerners. In response to this some have defended by saying that under Jonathan the Northerners were also not given a fair shot at key positions. This list below totally debunks that. It shows that whilst Jonathan had many failings nepotism and traibalism was not one. GEJ ran an inclusive government, and we admonish Mr President to do the same. Competence, ability and integrity is not the sole preserve of any one region. You should have a government that reflects the diversity of the great nation of Nigeria.
List of Northerners appointed under GEJS government
Vice President -North. Namadi Sambo Kaduna State Senate President –North. David Mark Niger State Speaker House of Reps - North. Aminu Tambuwal Sokoto State Head of Service - North. Danladi Kifasi Taraba State INEC Chairman - North. Attahiru Jega Kebbi State Inspector General of Police - North. Suleiman Abba Jigawa State Chief Justice of federation - North. Mahmud Muhammed Taraba State President Court of Appeal - North. Zainab Adamu Bulkachuwa Gombe State EFCC Chairman - North. Ibrahim Lamorde Adamawa State Chief Judge Federal high court - North. Ibrahim Auta Plateau National Security Adviser - North. Sambo Dasuki Sokoto State Chief of Defense Staff - North. Alex Badeh Adamawa State Chief of Naval Staff - North. U.O Jibrin Kogi State Comptroller General Customs North Abdulahhi Diko Katsina State Comptroller General Immigration North David Shikfu Parradang Plateau State Comptroller General Prisons North Aminu A Suley Bauchi State Defence Minister-North Aliyu Gusau Zamfara State Education Minister- North. Ibrahim Shekarau Kano State MD Port Authority- North. Habibu Abdullahi Kano State MD Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation – North Alh Umaru Ibrahim Kano State
Please feel free to share this list with other so they are also enlightened.
Sorry, now I know how senseless you are in your view, so tell us when the office of the Vice President, Senate President and Speaker House of Rep based on political appointment? I thought you could know better that there are all elective positions. See how you allowed stupidity to becloud your sense of reasoning just because you want to make a dirty point.
Gamechanger: Bring GEJ's initial or entire appointments. You ain't deceiving anybody but yourself by selecting only appointees from the South in GEJ's ENTIRE Government
If you are sensible you will know that other major appointments are coming, many southerners may be appointed. Who cares were the appointees hail from provided thet are able to deliver on their responsibility. Southerners are even too corrupt, so I think they have just a small space in this government of CHANGE.
amusadele: A KG child is more senseable than this Buhari. He is very childish. I will use loots to care for woman one thing do another. It means if these loots are not proven, there will be no woman affairs. These monies are even based on assumption and fabrication. One idiot will just come up with GEJ looted unaccountable billions etc. Rubbish. Buhari and its apc members have refused to also tell Nigerians the amount Fashola, Amaechi, Thieffnubu, Atiku etc have taken away but na only GEJ den dey dream
Just the way you were senseless thinking he will not be your president, just as usual you will later discover how senseless you are with this your comment
wiseoneking: So without monies recovered nothing will ever take place in this country. He just kept talking about money he will recover. How about the monies we have been earning since 4 months you took over. This man is never prepared at all. Assuming there was a late delay in getting the so called over bloated stolen fund. Naija fit chop u. No xcuse
I believe you have been feeding for four months now, that was what the money was used for.
