CltrAltDel:Nobody needs to prove Osibanjo wrong. He is an idiot just like the rest of Buhari team. So GEJ should have gone to Sambissa forest to construct a fresh road just to build new roads? That is an idiotic statement for a VP to make. Is there any provision in 2016 budget for the construction of a new road to a city or village that has no road before? APC just keep making a fool of themselves daily with their gaffes. You guys are really having a torrid time defending them. I no envy you! |
frisky2good:You have an argument? You couldn't even comprehend the post, how can you possibly have an argument? Your response was hilarious. I was almost rolling on the floor. I said, Omo n Oba N'edo Uku.Akpolokpolo is just like when you call someone a name like " the slayer of the mighty" or "the champion of the people" then you went on to say that proves your point since there is no king in the phrase? You mean you don't understand the meaning of "it is just like"? What school did you attend? I am ashamed I am explaining this to you like a primary school pupil. Just ashamed honestly |
frisky2good:Wow! You even have a comprehension problem to add to your ignorance? At this point, I can't help you. I give up! Aaahhhhh! |
frisky2good:Incredible! Some of you kids will never ever learn with the way you go about being proud of your ignorance. I am not really interested in the fight. I just wanted to enjoy the thread but was shocked at the level of ignorance among some of you. How can the Benin king title be Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo? Do you even know what that means? Omo n'Oba n'Edo Uku Akpolokpolo is just like when you call someone a name like " the slayer of the mighty" or "the champion of the people". How is that the title of the stool? |
frisky2good:Where did you folks get this from? The title of the Benin king is Oba, not Omo n Oba. Every Benin king chooses a special name at coronation just like when people choose baptisimal names. This Oba chose Omo n Oba N'edo Uku akpolokpolo Erediawa. The level of ignorance on this thread is alarming! |
APC never really won the 2015 election. GEJ just didn't want blood to flow. They could not even win Lagos and had to rig it |
TonyeBarcanista:Which Abacha? Lol. If you want to talk about someone who performed though he was very corrupt and i dont like him, it will be IBB. A lot of the infrastructure you see today was built by IBB. Abacha was a loafer who hid away in Aso rock playing draft and watching Indian films. He was useless. Muritala did nothing. Though I wouldn't completely ridicule him since he only spent months. He is only eulogised by the north because he championed a very strong northern agenda. The other person who built a lot of infrastructure, though I don't like him, was Gowon. Most of you don't even know Nigeria history and its sad |
Eebrahym:The statement does not look like that of a blind man oh! He was right on the mark. This government is a bag of empty promises and a congregation of witches and fools |
Lattop:Which of these puts him on the same level with Abacha? 1. Rail reforms. Even Amaechi is going about showcasing GEJ projects. The same projects many of you said didn't exist and was only on paper. Abuja-Kaduna rail is there to testify against all oif you and call you what you are...liars! 2. Auto industry policy and reforms. The policy that made major car manufacturers to move into Nigeria. Unfortunately, we have lost the gains due to your Baba's idiocy! 3. Educational reforms. This saw the establishment of 12 new universities across the country. No other president in Nigeria history has come close. 4. Agricultural reforms. The reforms that saw Nigeria become food sufficient and Adeshina is there to testify against you lot. We were even building cargo ports across the country. But all that is at a stand still now 5. Electoral reforms. With total reforms in this sector, even the opposition could win freely unlike the OBJ days of do or die politics. But bubu has taken us back to 1984. Back to the dark days of crude politics. 6. FOI bill. This was a bill that successive Presidents refuse to sign. He signed and implemented it and now you can talk freely and ask questions. You should be saying thank you GEJ. Your native god Buhari is even trying to take that away with his diabolical social media bill I could go on to mention YouWIN, port reforms, power reforms among others. But it doesn't matter because you only hate him because of partisan, regional or tribal reasons. Or maybe you were still wearing pampers when Abacha was President in which case, I can forgive your ignorance. Meanwhile, if you want to compare someone with Abacha, Buhari is a good fit. He was PTF chairman during Abachas rule. Do you know the ptf was one of the main conduits Abacha used to loot? Why do you think Buhari still insists Abacha was not corrupt even after all the Abacha money that has been returned? Go and play beast of no nation by Fela joor! Your President's full story is there! |
#GEJ'S QUOTE: THE POLITICAL PROPHET!! 19th Feb 2015 The choice before Nigerians in the coming elections is simple: A choice between going forward or going backwards; between the new ways and the old ways; between freedom and repression; between a record of visible achievements and beneficial reforms-and desperate power-seekers with empty promises https://m.facebook.com/DeProf/posts/10207187590519920

LegatusGlaber:A threat? Are they politicians? Oh I forgot. You are all seeing enemies everywhere now! That's what happens when you support a dullard like Buhari. Smh |
LRNZH:So if they list it on the pages of a newspaper, you will know what it is or you will source it better than manufacturers? Some of you just take your APC sycophancy way too far but forget you will all be part of the bigger suffering, which you are already suffering and smiling about |
If you want to marry a husband Make you no marry a Waka about If you marry a Waka about o Na so so Troube Trouble, Trouble #WakawakaBuhari Breaking News! Buhari to visit Nigeria on the 23rd of February 2016. Details shortly |
Seun:Hahahaha hahahaha! Seeeeuuuuun ooooohhhhhh! You wan tear person belle this early morning!!! I still dey roll for floor |
9jatriot:Honestly, I feel sorry for some of you trying too hard to defend Buhari's fraud. It is such an uphill task because you have sold an integrity lie for so long. First, please stop making a fool of yourself by suggesting the minister didn't prepare or own their budgets. If the budget was put together by the budget office, they would have been responsible for defending it, not the ministers. That you even suggest that the ministers went to the NASS to defend budgets they didn't prepare is so shameful. Just take it easy on the sycophancy. Budgets are always defended by those who prepoared it. I can't even believe I am typing this!!! There was no 3 billion aso rock clinic item in the 2015 budget. Again, trying to blame the previous budget four obvious fraud exposes your sycophanc even more. For the umpteenth time, buhari did not expose the budget. He got caught pants down. He and his fraudulent bunch were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. So sorry to burst your bubble but that fake claim won't fly! Buhari hates being criticised! APC as a party hates being criticised! They almost passed a terrible social media bill for crying out loud. Several people have been arrested already for criticising the government. Lie Mohammed has been going all over the place crying about criticisms. Again, this is not the first time a budget has been scrutinised. The budget has been heavily scrutinised for the past 3 years. Maybe you have been living in a cave or maybe your APC sycophancy has blinded you so let me remind you that it was several of the line items from the previous budgets that APC used in their campaign against GEJ including the 1 billion for food campaign that was displayed on mega bill boards all over the nation That you still refer to about 2 trillion naira budget fraud, as errors is all the proof I need to know you are working for your pay. You will need to work harder though. |
I commend you guys for doing this but I am a little disappointed with the quality of the write ups. Since these are under graduates, I would suggest the participants improve on their work. This site is viewed from far and wide so we must put only our best on display. Once again kudos for the initiative |
9jatriot:You keep repeating the same flawed arguments and making strange claims. The people who put the items there have not been sacked! They are walking free and laughing at the rest of us! The budget office did not write the budget. The DG of the budget office is only culpable of not scrutinising thoroughly. The ministers who own the budgets are all laughing at Nigeria. Even the presidency that budgeted more money for aso rock clinic than what was budgeted for the whole teaching hospitals in Nigeria, is laughing their heads off. They have not been sacked and will not be. I didn't even talk about the issue of inflated costs and skewed priorities which is different from fraudulent line items. Like the Aso rock clinic over teaching hospitals. They put the budget on the budget website after the budget was already all over the place. What choice did they have? That was damage control. That was also after the scandal had trended as #BudgetOfYams on social media for over 3 weeks and had been reviewed by several news houses. They didn't put it up for scrutiny. They are only attempting damage control. |
9jatriot:You argument is very weak bro. 1. The frivolous items didn't somehow find their way into the budget. It was deliberately put there by human beings. Your use of such a phrase gives you up blatantly. 2. The total amount is a problem as long as almost a third of the budget is fraud. We are not talking about 1% fraud here. This is really mind boggling 3. The reason the ministers didn't defend it is because it is indefensible! Any attempt to defend it will leave anyone with a black eye. Even the APC social media zombies could not defend it. If it was not that bad, the ministers would definitely have defended it. You recall lie Mohammed initially tried to defend it, but when the revelations kept coming out, he got overwhelmed. They thought they could still pull it through but they were greatly mistaken. If the president was interested in public scrutiny, he would have made a statement a long time ago and pulled the budget back. But what did he do then? He attempted to steal it. Have you forgotten that? Have you forgotten how we ended up with two budgets? Aha |
9jatriot:1. It cannot be swept under the carpet because it was exposed by people who will make sure it doesn't! The world has changed. The last government did not sweep the complains under the carpet. They responded by reducing several line items. 2. This is not the kind of budget we have been passing before. We have never passed a 6 trillion budget with about 2 trillion fraud nor have we ever had a budget that required a third of it to be funded from loans. 3. Referring to the fraud as errors is laughable. They are not errors. They are outright theft and a brazen one at that |
psucc:It is indeed a very wide gate. A most shocking one to boot! #budgetgate |
I have watched the Federal government continue to embarras themselves in what is arguably one of the biggest executive scandals in Nigeria's history. But what has really gotten my attention is their very unprofessional and downright deceptive response to the whole quagmire. It has gone from the very bizzaire to the outrightly deceitful and I feel there is a need to put the records straight, especially for future reference. The most bizzaire response has seen the ministers outrightly deny their own ministries budget like Shaggy singing, "It wasnt me". This has written a new chapter to the country's corruption story. If the ministers didnt write those budgets, then we are in a bigger trouble than we actually know. This means we have a government that cannot manage themselves let alone manage 170 million Nigerians. It also means all the ministers are shockingly incompetent. It also implies that there is serious monumental corruption going on in the ministries and government agencies as we speak. Before the government apologists try to ram it down our throats that it is those around the president that are involved, let us not fail to remind them that some of the most embarrasing corruption and fraudulent items in the budget came from the presidency. Yes, you heard it right! It came from the acclaimed squeaky clean, saintly PMB. But let us get down to the real business of the day. I am really woried that even the opposition and many analysts of the budget have missed the biggest issue yet. What is the biggest issue with the 2016 budget? The biggest issue with the 2016 budget is this: If you go through the budget, you will suddenly realise that about 2 trillion Naira in the bugdet are made up of fraudulent and ghost line items. That means that of the over 6 trillion budget presented by Buhari, the real and credible budget is just around 4 trillion. The rest is fraud and money meant to be shared by government and party cronies. This is most alarming when you realise that about 2 trillion is going to be sourced as loan to fund the budget. That means, Nigeria is trying to source for loans to fund coruption. We are about to take loans to fund massive theft! Somethig really twisted happened in some of the ministries in their bid to cover up their fraudulent items. When the budget was first released by the BudgtIT folks (credit to them for exposing the budget from the unset and preventing the FG from getting away with the fraud), and then withdrawn, this is what some of the ministries did. To fix the fraudulent items in the budget, what the ministries and agencies (including the presidency) did was either: 1. Remove the fraudulent line items that have been exposed but distribute the amount from those line items among the other items. For example, Lets say a ministry budgeted 200 million for computers, 300 million for tables and 500 million for boreholes (That is a total of N1 billion). If, for example, the table budget was flagged as fraudulent, they will simply remove the table item of 300 million but share that 300 million between the computers and borehole budget. So they will return the budget with the 1 billion total unchanged, but this time, the computers budget will be 400 million and the borehole will be 600 million. This is a very shocking display of fraud and skilled corruption. If the computer budget is flagged as fraudulent, what should have simply happened is that the ministry should have removed the computer budget and returned the budget as 700 million, not 1 billion. 2. Remove the fraudulent line items and assign the value as new budget items. In this case, whole new items where inserted into the budget altogether to make up the amount removed. What is again alarming is why they must spend the funds. The concept of a budget is not to create items that must be purchased. It is not a blank check for government officials to go on a shopping spree It is really worrisome that the Buhari government is hell bent on spending the over 6 trillion even when it is not justifiable. This is why we must reject any budget that is above 4.5 trillion Naira. Any budget that comes back from the FG that is above 4.5 trillion is definitely a crooked budget. This is also why we must insist that the FG should not borrow any funds for now as any funds borrowed to fund the budget is actually funds borrowed to line the pockets of government cronies. Any budget that comes back from Buhari that is above 4.5 trillion is fraudulent! I have seen some APC youths go on social media to celebrate the sacking of the DG of the budget office. Question is, what does that take away from the monumental budget fraud? Was the budget of the ministries written by the budget office. The ministers have all gone to the NASS to defend their budgets. I didnt see anyone whose budget was written by the budget office and the ministers are all walking free and laughing at the rest of us. Sacking the DG of the budget office is just late damage control and trying to get a fall gyuy to take the heat. The ministers who all presented fraudulent budgets are still roaming free and laughing at the rest of us. And please stop telling us the presidency put it up for scrutiny!! We all had several copies each before they attempted that damage control. The scandal had already trended as #BudgetOfYams for several weeks before that weak attempt by the President's spokeman to make us believe they wanted it scrutinised! That train had left the station since December! This is a most shameful note in the history of this country but we must continue to call out Buhari and his governance team. If we sleep for one moment, we might all wake up one day to see some rich Arab sheik has bought the country and has the C of O. |
niceprof:That one is voice mail! The whole chibok issue is a massive smokescreen! You can see #babalondon doesn't even want to touch it. Oby don go look for another work. Kikikikikikikikiki |
Residents of Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, have admitted that Boko Haram insurgents are still occupying some parts of the State. They spoke in reaction to the statement credited to Borno Central Senator, Baba Kaka Bashir Garbai, who had disclosed that Borno State was being equally shared between the Boko Haram and the Nigerian military. Garbai, had informed journalists last Saturday during a condolence visit to Dalori village where over 200 persons were reported killed by the insurgents, that Boko Haram still occupy some areas in Borno. “I feel highly demoralized, devastated in the sense that this is the village we came during the election and they were going about their normal business. The activities that were ongoing was like confidence building. They actually got the signal a few days before the attack that the insurgents were likely to attack them, they reported to the constituted authorities but nothing was done.” Garbai told newsmen during his visit. On Wednesday, a cross section of individuals, civil servants and businessmen, who gather at the vendor’s stall in the Post Office area near the Musa Usman secretariat to read newspapers were seen reacting to both Garbai and Senator Ali Ndume’s statements on Borno security situation. It would be recalled that Senator Ali Ndume on Sunday said there is no cause for alarm as the Buhari administration and Nigerian military are on top of the situation in the Northeast. “I still have confidence in our military, I still want to believe that our military are on top of the situation. What is happening these days is the issue of intermittent suicide bombing and desperate attacks by the insurgents because their supply routes have been cut off and they attack in other to get supplies. They have been carting away foodstuffs of attacked communities.” The Senate Leader while arguing that the insurgency is winding out, said the recent setbacks are not limited to Nigeria alone, insisting that United States and recently France have come under isolated terrorist attacks. But residents told DAILY POST that Senator Babakaka Garbai remains the only federal lawmaker from Borno speaking the truth, accusing others of aligning themselves with the politics involved in the fight against the insurgents. Alhaji Suleiman Adamu, an aluminus of ABU and a Civil Servant said, “Senator Baba Kaka Garbai is now our hero in Borno in the issue of Boko Haram. I hope that the Nigerian President takes his statement serious and look into it. We in Borno state knows that he has spoken the truth. “This is what has been itching us and there can be no other truth than what the Borno Central Senator revealed. From his analysis of the situation, of the 24 local government council in the state, three are under complete control of Boko Haram, while 21 are being shared between them and the Nigerian military. I sincerely believe that is the whole truth.” he said. Another resident, Alhaji Tukur Munkaila said: ” It is like our Senator representing southern Borno (Ndume) has lost his sense of judgement. He used to be admired for standing with the truth, but his statement last on Sunday put him in the lines of those who are ruining this country. I still believe it is not Ndume’s talking when his local government Gwoza is known to be under the control of the insurgents. http://dailypost.ng/2016/02/10/residents-back-garbai-say-boko-haram-still-controls-24-lgs-in-borno/ |
The House of Representatives’ Committee on Capital Market, led by Tajudeen Yusuf, was shocked to discover that the Investment and Securities Tribunal (IST) presented same copy of its 2015 budget in 2016. This discovery put on hold the budget defence session of the agency. Yusuf said: “We expected this yesterday to take the budget defence of the IST but we realised that the budget for IST in the 2016 budget proposal is just an exact copy of its 2015 appropriation. It is word for word, figure for figure. And Items dealt with and completed in 2015 were repeated. “We looked into the budget about two weeks ago and, apart from the issue of personnel that the agency treated late in 2015, the 2015 budget for IST was okay.” IST Chairman Ngozi Chianakwalam refused to speak with reporters on the issue. The Senate, House of Representatives and the Ministry of Finance are to meet to straighten the inconsistencies in the 2016 budget proposal, the chairman said. Also, at the same committee yesterday, the MD/CEO of Nigeria Commodities Exchange, Baba-Ari Zaheera, appealed to the committee to assist in an enabling law to make the agency more effective. The NCE boss said the passage of the bill on Warehouse Receipt System ( e-WRS) would make the Exchange more relevant in the country. http://thenationonlineng.net/shock-as-agency-presents-2015-budget-to-reps-for-2016/ |
woodcock:Come off it my friend! Are you following the American elections? Do you see the republicans or democrats patronising each other? PDP is opposition. As long as they are not cooking up fake stories to spread, they are doing their job. In fact, it would be a disservice to Nigeria if they give APC any slack! I don't need to state what they can do better. That's what they are paid to do. If they can do it, they should step aside!!! Its that simple! No time for kindergarten governance! |
arresa:The problem with you APC folks is that your leaders are failing you but you can't take the shame! Instead, you want to push propaganda like your leaders but it won't work. Nobody cares about propaganda. People just want good governance but you lot cannot provide it because you are not ready for governance. You just wanted to scam Nigeria and get away with it. Sorry oh! |
StOla:But the Dasuki gate is still a scam nau! Didn't you follow the proceedings in the Metuh case? All the propaganda by the efcc fell flat on its face and the efcc had to try and shift the blame to nthe media. Hightlights: 1. Metuh did not tear or eat his statement as alleged 2. There was no evidence he collected money from Dasuki 3. There was clear evidence his project followed due process 4. There was evidence Dasuki collected 10billion from CBN as alleged. Conclusion: Everything was just propaganda and media trial |
StOla:What backlash? That PDP has a WhatsApp group? Are you kidding me? They would be stupid if they don't have many such groups in this 2016!!! Haba! That's very normal now!!! Una wey get all sorts of groups dey make noise! Na who you Want to fool? Abeg shift to one side joor! |
Clerverly:If I work in PDP, I will gladly collect my money sharp! I will even demand for very cool pay!!! There is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about. Just the same way you are not ashamed to collect your pay from APC!!! The only one I will not do is to go and eat common jollof rice from Aisha like you folks. That one is shameful!!! Kikikikikikikikikikikikiki |
Iroh88:What part of it is a lie? The padding of the budget is a lie? Buhari gaffes abroad is a lie? Your ministers denying their budget like shaggy is a lie? The killing of about 1000 Shiites is a lie? The Aso rock rent is a lie? The Fashola borehole scam is a lie? The fayemi 795 million website update is a lie? The 300 million to connect cables is a lie? The globetrotting of #babalondon is a lie? Is it PDP that made you folks to pad the budget with all sorts of fraudulent line items? Your #babalondon is doing a good job of corruption. He will still gaffe another one tomorrow again! If I am in that PDP group, una for don see weehnnnn!!! Abeg tell me another story! |
Isn't it funny that all of you here also belong to APC groups where you plan to bring down PDP and you get paid for it? You lot are not even making sense! They are opposition. Its their job. They are not supposed to praise you. They are there to nail you. Its your job to do things right so you don't get nailed. Its that simple. But then you guys aren't that intelligent!!! Kikikikikikikikikiki If I am in that group, I would have destroyed you lot by now. The gloves would have come off, no dulling. Truth is, PDP are not even that effective right now. There is so much they can use to nail #babalondon, Buhari! The guy is so incompetent it is alarming. The whole APC team is so kindergarten, any good opposition would have totally crippled them already! The gaffes are now coming in at the rate of one gaffe per hour! And they are getting even more disastrous by the day!!! |
