Sure-P wasn't meant to be a permanent programme. I thought the were aware of the objectives and mission of the sure-p.

Lol

Goodluck you were a good man. The problem with you is that you were not like a typical Nigerian politician. I wish you well in your future endeavors though. Do try to lay low like certain past presidents (Shagari) and don't try to be a nuisance like Obasanjo and IBB.

Whynotthetruth:
It is because we have seen Peter Obi of Anambra state do same in his state...its all about sincerity, accountability, transparency and service to the people...

It is possible If the expenditures of the state were constant, which implies stagnation and underdevelopment.

The strongest first lady ever!

How is that possible?

What's your point?

States that can't generate its own revenue to pay its workers should be left to their own fate.

I pity these states that owe salaries for more than four months.
As long as crude oil sells for below 65 dollars a barrel, they will not be able to pay these salaries even in the next 12 months. The federal government cannot help them either.

There's no such thing as hell fire

Mr Man can you just shut the Bleep up and go to your village? I'm sick of you talking trash since you lost this election. You have already destroyed the PDP with your naivety, just go please.

The heart and the nose

Be honest for once. As the Minister of Finance, she derserves every vitroil directed to her. Call a spade a spade, and not a gold chain.

Kwuoropshun.

What did Ngozi do wrong?

Nigeria cannot cope without oil. Thats the painful truth.

Besides, I'm tired of everyone blaming Ngozi for our problems. She is not you president, governor or local government chairman. As a minister of finance, she does what the law requires of her and nothing else. Ngozi has done nothing wrong, let her be.

Lets stop deceiving ourselves, Nigeria is a poor country and we will continue to be a poor country even in the next 20 years.

Wike will be governor for eight years. You people should stop wasting your time

ibietela2:
You know that the traffic lights none is working for 8 years now

Amaechi did not install a single traffic light anywhere in port Harcourt.

Lol. Although I supported Goodluck in the elections and wanted him to continue, I must admit that I'm not a blind supporter. The last thing I'll ever do is to sacrifice my personal resources towards fulfilling the ambition of a Nigerian politician. GEJ, Buhari et al are all Nigerian politicians and that's the first thing I remember.

No nation in the world, not even thealmighty United States of America, touted as the number-one economy could develop via the kind of budgetary system we have been operating in the past sixteen years.

Ignorance at its peak.

Amaechi you can quietly leave now. You spent the last four years in undoing whatever you did in rivers state.
Port Harcourt stinks with dirt and garbage littered all over the state, bad roads here and there coupled with the terrible traffic in major areas of the city.
Vamos Amaechi.

That's the only picture I keep seeing of him. The man no dey snap picture ni?

The question is, how did these young men lead the country?

Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike will be governor of Rivers State for four years and will be reelected to lead another four years. Amaechi and everybody in the APC are like rats to Wike and the people of Rivers State.

Who's gonna buy such a liability?

Kai. See as mercy fine.

socialmediaman:
Some did, many didn't, especially the crucial ones that could've benefitted most Nigerians, like the youth empowerment programme organizers at the bank of industry and CBN. You want to empower people and you're hiding the information from them?

They didn't fail. The information was there for entrepreneurs to see and those who utilized the information were rewarded. Thousands of entrepreneurs received funding at little or no interest rates in this administration. Why should the government be blamed for those who didn't?

socialmediaman:
INEC used many channels to publicize these information, they didn't create bottlenecks that make it difficult to collect your PVC If you've relocated. They didn't insist you have to go back and collect it from where you registered, they took these things into consideration based on prevailing circumstances in Nigeria, that's a good job. If they had created bottlenecks in the system, I'll agree they failed but they didnt

INEC didn't publicize the information extensively and majority of the people never knew about it.
There were other ways to make the card collection process easier for people who had relocated rather than the cumbersome process of applying for card transfers. There were bottlenecks and INEC failed to solve them effectively, this led to millions of people not collecting their PVC.

From my judgement, INEC failed.

This man was truly working for Buhari's success behind GEJs back. Now I understand what Fayose meant. These abokki people sha, they can't be trusted at all.

socialmediaman:
INEC provided an opportunity for people who have relocated to request for their PVCs to be transferred to their new locations, good job. Their system was commendable, without transferring your PVC you can't use it to vote in another location because the law barred electronic voting.

But many people were unaware of this information and as a result, millions of people did not collect their PVCs. In other words, INEC failed.

socialmediaman:
You raised some important point: Buhari has listed his challenges. That's a starting point. If you don't identify your challenges and goals and write them down or list them, you will never solve them because you may not even see them as serious challenges, just like a man doing a business without a business plan. Buhari has opened the floor by listing his challenges and it won't be long before he finds solutions, that's if he hasn't found already.

Can you also say that policy makers in GEJ's administration listed their challenges and found solutions to them?

socialmediaman:
Well, we both have different points of view on this, the fact remains, these programmes didn't get to most of the intended beneficiaries and so they failed. The government failed, simple. It's not about how many projects you started, it's about how many you completed and how many benefitted the intended beneficiaries and solved the problem

Government can't be blamed for every problem they encounter while trying to implement policies and programs. It doesn't mean they failed.

When INEC started to issuing PVCs late last year, people who relocated from where they were issued temporary cards couldn't collect their PVC and ultimately, they couldn't vote. Will you blame INEC or the people who relocated?

Abokki people.
