Just came across this:

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has debunked a recent statement reportedly made by a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Obadiah Mailafiya to the effect that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration under President Muhammadu Buhari inherited a debt stock of less than $7 billion in 2015, which according to him, now stands at $84 billion.

APC Govt Inherited $63.8bn Debt, Not $7bn, Says DMO

The Debt Management Office (DMO) has debunked a recent statement reportedly made by a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Dr. Obadiah Mailafiya to the effect that the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration under President Muhammadu Buhari inherited a debt stock of less than $7 billion in 2015, which according to him, now stands at $84 billion.


In a statement issued yesterday, the DMO said the purported claim was totally incorrect and not supported by public debt data that is readily available on its website

“Contrary to the claim by Dr. Obadiah Mailafiya, the total public debt stock as at June 30, 2015, (shortly after the current administration came into office), was $63.81 billion, and not $7.0 billion as claimed by Dr. Obadiah.

“Similarly, the nominal increase in the public debt stock between June 30, 2015 ($63.81 billion) and June 30, 2019 ($83.88 billion), was about $20.0 billion, which is a far cry from the gross misrepresentation made at the live programme on Channels that the public debt stock increased by $77.0 billion during this period,” the statement said.

This is the double standard this evil & satanic government have turned Nigeria into.It's good they have set up precedence that will one day come back to hunt them real good.

[/s]

No p&id money for you. When GEJ shared over 2.1 trillion on subsidy they were not sell outs?

[s]

GamalNasser:
No problem with Borrowing but the problem is that Buhari has absolutely nothing to show for such gigantic indebtedness ..

[/s]

Second Niger Bridge that PDP could build for 16 years has reached advanced stages of construction. Lago Ibadan Road and many federal roads are undergoing rapid transformation. Nigeria's first social investment program was launched under him not to talk of the numerous Rail construction being conducted.

This is drunken talk, PDP only know lies and looting nothing more.

Skyfornia:
All of them na the same..both PDP under Goodluck and APC under Buhari...but the difference is that we still dey chop when Jonathan dey reign but now we no fit shakara again...hunger dey wire us.

[/s]

But if PDP wins elections you are happy if APC is wins you become sad. Spare us this bull.

Ekejoestar:
Buhari people on the beat.

When GEJ was mortgaging the future of the country and you kept yelling he is the best thing, this is one of his numerous slavery clauses he included to punish Nigerians. The Multi Year Tariffs was signed and sealed by GEJ, which gave discos the power to increase tariff every 5 years. This is what you are now tasting that your pay master have instructed you to blame PMB for what they fooled GEJ into signing.

omenka:
I may no longer be the fan of Buhari I used to be, but you see that boy called Racoon (I wonder if he realised that is the name of a very destructive and stinking animal, especially notorious in the United States) definitely isn't normal.

More than anyone else, he cries about literally everything. There's not a single moment you see him in a light mood. Na wa o. It is terrible.

He may end up with cardiovascular related challenges at this rate.

Igboid:
Stop talking nonsense.
As far back as 1960s, Ahmadu Bello was already making videos where he demonized Ndiigbo.
The entire Northern assembly had a plenary session where the agenda was to demonize and legalize hostility towards Ndiigbo.

Akintola had already made his "Yoruba Ronu" speech where Ndiigbo were again demonized as early as the 1960s.
In all these, you can not for once find a tape where Ndiigbo made speeches demonizing others, instead we focused on how to elevate our selves. Perhaps this was the mistake of our forebearers.

Nnamdi Kanu have not said to other Nigerians what they have not said about Ndiigbo 50yrs before.
And even Nnamdi Kanu doesn't spare Ndiigbo in his criticism or use of harsh words.

Nigeria is a failed cursed state. Igbo presidency will do nothing for Ndiigbo other than earn bragging rights, seeing as it has not lifted Yorubaland or Arewa from trenches of Third World status.
Don't kill yourself over Igbo presidency. The orientation of Igbo nationalists like myself is that Igbo presidency if it comes is well welcomed since it would piss so many Igbophobes off, and if it doesn't come, would also be a win, since it would prove Igbo One Nigerianists stupid and swell the ranks of Igbos who want no part in Nigeria.

The Igbo will always choose Biafra over Nigeria, and should Igbo presidency of Nigeria not emerge, the more Biafra as a viable alternative becomes marketable among Igbo elites spread around the globe.

No shaking, it's either we win, or we win.

Yet igbos live freely in all of Nigeria. Let that sink in.

Sirmwill:
Ahn ahn
Everyone around Buhari is just dying

When it is our time to go, if you like be around the holiest person on earth, you go still go!

How is your P&ID hustle going on? I see another crumb gate forged by PDP looting machinery has been locked by PMB, another round of your favourite drink, Wailing!

Igboid:
Lol! "my wife is Igbo" the man said.
Who asked him?
Some Nazis also had Jewish wives/gfs. Gowon had an Igbo gf during the war.
What does his wife being Igbo have to do with anything if not because he is trying to hide behind that to exhibit his Igbophobia hoping not to be attacked by Igbos or any neutral person, because his wife is Igbo

Like the Normal White racist that will start with " I have black friends but... " and goes on to make his racist comments.

Mr man, you just parroted what other Igbophobes do. Own it with your full chest, nothing will happen and stop hiding behind your poor Igbo wife who I pity for marrying someone like you who harbour such sinister sentiments for her people, who knows what that poor woman has been undergoing under your roof.

You see where your problem starts, if you call Nigeria zoo or other vile name by rapist cownu, in your head it is not because you hate the tribes of Nigeria it is because you are objective, when Alex Kadiri says his thoughts of Igbo presidency in your head once again it is not because he is objective it is because he hates Igbos. Such is the shallow reasoning that has not gotten you anywhere.

If you call Hausas, Fulani slaves, Fulanis cows, Northerners as dumb, call Yoruba as Hausa- Fulani slaves without any Igbo of note cautioning such foolishness, tell me how you would expect these people to support your aspiration? Politics is about building coalition, in APC case they were able to build a winning coalition. Throughout they never denigrated any tribe or religion. In the case of Igbo they remained silent while some riff Raff's appropriated the authority to speak for them and continually condemned APC as a Muslim Brotherhood party and a Northern Agenda to give land to Fulani people. You see why it will be hard to move forward if you do not genuinely build support across all creeds?

omenka:
As usual. They're all billionaires who can single handedly feed families and villages.na today?

Just swerve abeg. Your famzing irritates me. Don't know you, don't intend to. Stop following a fellow man around. Show some sense of self worth.

Bye.

Issokay off mic, please

QuickStandard:
Does calling for removal, equate senseless price hike?

Wait, did you bring this here to make a case for the terrible government of the day?

Do you know what subsidy is?

Yomboy4ever:
Sebi subsidy is anything that they sub like data

subsidy is anything that has weight and occupy space.

SouthWestBlood:
It means APC even lied to everyone then. When the price is supposed to be reduced, that's when it's now going up. So Atiku is right to be against the increment in price of petrol.

This one doesn't know what subsidy is.

kikero:
Atiku was right then

The subsidy has to go.

We cannot be selling petrol below the cost of production and have government waste millions on subsidy..a corruption prone subsidy self

And now he has done 360 and condemned it's removal

Atiku wants a slavery relationship where he dictates to the Government.

Sad, man finally comed after being sucked dry by PDP, secondus and even man on wheelchair follow suck am.

Here is Atiku some months back congratulating the Government for removing subsidy.

FG finally withdraws from the fuel subsidy and price-fixing bazaar that had been rife with corruption and stalling investments. This is something patriots have been calling for and for which I was demonised.

After promising millions of jobs but ended up giving Nigeria about 15M unemployed population, the clueless government is shifting the responsibility to AfDB.Tax upon tax, foodstuffs are skyrocketing, inflation everywhere, guess the zombies are taking note

Bitterpob, has anyone see tonyebarcanista that was campaigning against Adeshina?

Sirliarsreporters has become a non stop lying machinery

Poverty always guaranteed senselessness

Stealer Oduah failed woefully, Osita also failed woefully, Hadi from Katsina did not pocket the money meant for the airport.

Anyway put your tears here.

NGpatriot:
The crack cocaine addict for a long long time has been getting away with his disgusting, abusive and insulting antics and the same opress going after him today were his friends, the press runs to the media to bore us with his insults and abuse?


The press didn't care when he insults, abuse and denigrate the President and the VP, but dishing out the same insults and abuse to the press, now all of a sudden they are going after him. What a bunch of self serving worthless news media.

On the bright side, the President and the VP did not take FFK down, they did not knock him of his pedestal, they did not touch is disgusting and deplorable arrogance and disdain for other people, a lowly, young Nigerian without power, influence and money brought him down Nigerian.

Just look at him, a useless old fool prostrating, begging left and right with his dirty and exposed yansh polluting the society and our sensibilities.

maka why?

It's okay already ..FFK has shown the quality of man he is by apologizing ..We know someone like El Rufai will never apologise if he was the one...FFK is forgiven already so let's move on in one love

That the irredeemable drug addict, woman beater and dirty rascal can still boast of having supporters is quite mind boggling.

such a brutal but honest decoding of a drug addict -ffk

emi Fani-Kayode, (more popularly known as FFK by the initials of his name) the designer wearing son of Chief Remilekun Fani-Kayode, (Fanny power) Deputy Premier of the Western region in the first republic is the perfect example of a pig still being a pig even with a lipstick on.

Yes, he is on record to have attended the high-brow English public school Harrow and followed that up with a law degree from the prestigious University of London and a masters from the world famous Cambridge University.

But if the idea was to mould him in character and training in the best traditions of an English gentleman having attended these institutions of British upper crust society, it has proven to be a waste of expensive English public school education.


His bohemian lifestyle while in the United Kingdom included an addiction to drugs for which he had to seek spiritual and physical rehabilitation in Ghana. But till today he has not been totally cured of that habit which leads him to fits of boorishness, irascibility and thuggish behaviour unbecoming of the status he occupies in Nigerian public life.

Though he likes all too often to take pride in and show off his English public education as a badge of honour, unfortunately FFK does not live up to the genteel and hallowed requirement of an Oxbridger in all he does. In the public space which he courts and hugs for recognition and relevance he is always expected to exhibit his base, yobbish, uncouth manners of an alley cat at persons who are his betters in all parameters of life.

Last week, FFK was at his yobbish worst during a press briefing in Calabar where in response to a question from a Daily Trust reporter Eyo Charles as to who was financing the trips he (FFK) had been embarking on round the country, he let rip at the poor reporter. Suddenly FFK who takes it as licence to hurl volleys of invectives at just about anyone in Nigerian public life had his thin skin exposed. Like a boxer with a glassy jaw, which the gentlest of jabs was all that was needed to shatter his thinly covered veneer of respectability was ruthlessly exposed.

In those few minutes of foul mouthed rant at the reporter for asking the question, FFK sunk lower than the lowliest he had ever been in the public estimation of him. He never had any reputation of worth anyways. But it exposed him as a brittle minded fellow who can give but cannot take and confirmed that he is just a windbag and a self-servicer, worse than the people he all too often vilifies mostly without rhyme or reason.

With his latest oafish behaviour, it is about time FFK met his comeuppance. His verbal assault at the reporter should be seen as an attack at the very profession that provides him with the necessary oxygen and limelight to remain relevant in the Nigerian public space. If he did to a lawyer in the legal profession he belongs what he did to the journalist in Calabar he would have faced immediate sanctions. (Ask Governor El Rufai)

Suffice it to say he is not even reckoned with in the legal profession. Even the so-called “charge and bail’’ lawyers one sees often hanging around courtrooms are likely to have better records of achievement in the profession than him.

He is also not a political figure of note in his native Ile-Ife or Osun State even though he tries to present himself as one. He certainly will not win any political contest there. And in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) of which he is a member, he is avoided like the plague for his impulsive, self-opinionated, gaffe-prone statements which often put the party in bad light, and which necessitate painstaking damage control measures to mend.

The lout has neither a sense of shame nor gratitude. In 1966 General Yakubu Gowon then as Army Chief saved his father from imminent death by mutinous soldiers when he ordered then Lt Paul Tarfa of the Guards Brigade to rescue and keep him under protective custody of loyal troops. Had General Gowon not intervened the senior Kayode would have almost certainly been dispatched to meet his maker on that occasion by the mutineers. FFK was a toddler then, and only God knows what would have become of him in later life. Yet even General Gowon had not been spared of this loony’s ingrained bad manners. He once issued a scathing, abusive retort to a statement the former military head of state made on the civil war.

That FFK has been indulged in the public space despite all the known and documented instances of his indecorous behaviours is attributable to two factors; he is the scion of an illustrious public figure in Nigeria who literarily was born and fed with a silver spoon, and also because of the fawning, uncritical indulgence of our media which tends to accord undue relevance to persons who went to the type of schools FFK attended abroad.

FFK is fannying around in his family’s shadow and in the inferiority complex of our media who believe that Nigerians who attended Ivy League institutions in America and Oxbridge in the United Kingdom possess uncommon wisdom. It is what makes otherwise vacuous and spastic individuals of his ilk to bask in the public space with a dubious sense of entitlement, advertising their self-importance in the full knowledge that the Nigerian media will indulge them uncritically.

In the aftermath of his intemperate and disgraceful outburst in Calabar, having temporarily returned to his senses and realised that he had gone beyond even the unduly generous allowance the media has given him, he attempted to climb down from his high horse. But it was done in a derisory manner which further reinforces the utter contempt FFK holds journalists and the journalism profession which ironically is the only profession that provides him with a platform to be relevant in Nigeria.

If the journalism profession in Nigeria has any modicum of honour at all it must put this designer wearing, drug addled thug in his place as an example to all who dare to treat it with levity.

minimum wage in Nigeria is 33,000 when you buy a bag of foreign rice 28,000 or local rice 25,000 ,how much is one left with for rent, school fees etc ?
now can you honestly still state that things are well with the country ?

Kindly apply some commonsense, a person earning such low income won't be buying a full bag of rice, rather they purchase in module. Most of you "poor people" don't even know how poor people actually live. They don't accumulate stuff like most of the greedy looters you look up to. They live within their means.
