Like Mike Tyson said - "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face"...

Buhari's government is still making plans one years after it was sworn in.

This girl is a nairalander. We used to be mutual followers in my previous NL account. I can't remember her username.
Congrats to her.

Ebonyi state is the only south east state that should have never been created.

C'mon, the south east is on the verge of seceding from the federation. A perceived attack from any other tribe (especially from mutual enemies - Igbo and Hausa/Fulani) fuels the secession movement. No government wants to be blamed from breaking up the country.

Say the truth. You're not being paid well.

This is wrong. It is the prerogative and discretion of the governor to make his number public or not.

I am really tired of this Biafra posts that absolutely miss the point. Fisrtly OP, u comparing Nigeria and the Igbos to Britain and the EU is unfounded and not even valid. The EU is a group of COUNTRIES formed to facilitate free trade and movement of labour within countries. Each country exist as a sovereign state within the EU. This also means that immigrants to any of these European countries have access to all EU countries. Different countries have different immigration rules and are not comfortable with that. Given that Britain lives on a welfare system, it is of utmost importance they control immigration. That is why Britain is leaving the EU. Not because they are enslaved.

Secondly, Britain is a country not a section of a country. The EU is not a country. The EU is exactly the same as the OAU, AU, UN. Any country can leave if they feel the rules are no more convenient. By The way, scotland has been wanting to leave the UK for decades now. But they cannot. A specific part of a country cannot just decide that it wants to leave. You saying that BRITAIN IS LIGHT YEARS AHEAD BCOZ THEY VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU IS COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT IN THIS CONTEST. When Britain lets scotland go, then u can make that argument.

The EU is a union, so is Nigeria. Nigeria claims to be a federal republic, which means a "federation" of states that operate a democratic form of government. A federation is no much different from a union given that
"A federation is (also known as a federal state) a political entity characterized by a union of partially self-governing states or regions under a central (federal) government."

Scotland wanted to leave the UK and their opinion was subjected to a referendum which was conducted in 2014. If the UK, which is a kingdom that runs on less flexible laws than a supposed Federation like Nigeria, could conduct a referendum on to let the scots decide their own fate, what stops a federal republic from doing the same?

A specific part of a federation or federal republic can always demand and decide to leave a federation if it suits them. Nigeria does not run a monarchy system of government where a King makes all decisions. Nigeria is not Spain or Britain... We should be more like the EU because thats what we are supposed to be.

When the referendum was being held in Scotland, only the scots voted. Other states in the federation cannot decide the fate of the seceding state.

The current constitution is written to reflect all resources, needs, players of all sections of the country. Any part leaving is denying everybody else in the country their fundamental rights of association by birth. The matter of seceding must be planned in a gradual process. there are others in this country too u know. an cutting any part of nigeria away is like saying "the rest of u can die, we do not care".

And also pitching this problem as a religious divide is a new low. The corruption in nigeria has nothing to do with religion and tribe. Even if u go to Biafra I can assure u that nothing will come out of it. Because u guys brought up the concept of Biafra to solve a problem that does not exist. You have failed to identify the problem and this pride and hatred may lead to unfounded events that does not benefit the people but satisfies personal political interests.

Concerning this comment, I honestly hope you're not talking about the Nigerian constitution. . . In fact, Nigeria has no constitution.


Lastly, Nigeria's fundamental problem is not corruption but injustice. It is not for you to say that nothing will come out of Biafra, a new country can never be worse than Nigeria. Nigeria is actually one of the worst countries in the world in terms of anything positive.

We rank low because monkeys like you ran our educational system to the ground with their short sightedness and ignorance.

Who your pastor don help?

Buhari indeed. . . The same man who said Abacha did not steal.

Besides, Where will you start from if you want to sanction corrupt political and public office holders in Nigeria? Will you start from the lying president and his corrupt sponsors like Tinubu, Atiku, Obasanjo and Amaechi?

Will you start from the 774 local government chairmen and thousands of councilors, state houses of assembly and state governors?

Will you sanction overpaid national assembly members or corrupt civil servants?? Where will you start from?

The verdict is that 98 percent of Nigerian political officer holders are corrupt and over 60 percent of Nigerian public office holders are corrupt. If you want to sanction these people in Nigeria, you'll end up sactioning the whole country.

I am witness to this. I travelled to Bayelsa to visit a friend two weeks ago and the level of economic hardship being faced by the people of that state is terrible and pathetic. I was told that the state governent is yet to pay salaries for about five months.

I am sorry to say this but Alamayeseigha destroyed Bayelsa state. In fact, Obasanjo and all politicians who ruled from 1999 to 2007 destroyed what was left of what Buhari, IBB Abacha had already destroyed.

Nigeria is most likely the only country in the world currently facing prolonged fuel shortages. Even countries that are supposed to be more useless than Nigeria like Burundi, Chad and Togo aren't facing any shortfall in fuel supplies. Only Nigeria in the whole of Africa is experiecing fuel scarcity at the moment. What does that tell you?

Are Nigerian senators aliens from outer space? Are they not Nigerians like you, with relatives and children who are also Nigerians? So why try to categorize them as people who are alien to the Nigerian way of life and sociocultural system?
Most of the legislators were ordinary masses like you and other Nigerians. Who wished for a better life and once cursed the Nigerian government and politicians. So what changed about them?
The problem is not the legislative member or the chamber but the country as a whole. This country you call Nigeria is a terrible, hopeless and useless country.

I'll do her in a heartbeat.

RIP man. A shame you died for a hopeless and useless country.

ABUJA - The federal government has said that talks to reach a truce between it and the National Assembly on grey areas in the controversial 2016 budget were still on going and as such could not give a definite date to sign the approved copy from the legislature.

The government has instead set out the timetable for the submission got the 2017 budget, saying that the idea was to ensure early delivery of the document.



[size=18pt]This came as the government also stated that there was no currency deal swap with the Chinese government.[/size]

The implication of the no-date-for-signing is that the hope of many Nigerians who were expectant that the 2016 budget would have been signed into law anytime soon had been dashed.



The decision for further negotiation with the federal lawmakers taken at the Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting which held on Wednesday at the presidential villa, Abuja presided over by president Mohammadu Buhari.

Briefing State House Correspondents at the end of the meeting, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Mr. Udo Udoma who were flanked by his colleagues in the Ministries of Petroleum Resources, Ine Kachikwu, Power, Housing and Works, Babatunde Fashola, Communication and Technology , Adebayo Shittu stated that ahead of the eventual signing of the fiscal document, the federal government has set up Monitoring and Evaluation mechanism to ensure that the budget was duly implementation.



Udoma also denied that the document was returned to the National Assembly for a fresh work on it.

So the whole Chinese currency swap story was a scam? Chai! This government will wreck Nigeria with its propaganda and lies!

No information about this supposed grant on the EU website. Why should I believe this crap?

This idiotic president has forgotten so soon that he was also a past leader.

Its nothing more than corruption

The joke is now on Aregbesola.

But the APC chairman complained that they have lost "lucrative" states to the PDP due to supreme Court verdicts

Where's our Amayanagbo?

This was Namadi Sambo's idea and project

The Buffalo we call a president is assembling an economic team almost a year after he was elected into office.
This man has to be the most unserious president in African history.

So no single person could deduce that these are allocations to Local Governments in Lagos State and not to the Lagos State government?

More APC flags than the Nigerian flag.

He would rather use the money to ugrade Aso rock clinic, buy luxury BMWs and travel around the world on endless vacations. Thats how you know a useless president.

Ishi amu

You think Shell and ENI would forgo an over 2 billion barrels worth of crude oil well easily? These guys are not MTN o. The dullard should remember Shell and AGIP are not MTN.
