SLIDEwaxie:
u have misunderstood the whole argument. They believed the process is unfair because some people are favoring their own side because their people are at the helm of processing.

That was the undertone.

My response to dt guy is not because I bilivd the assertion, but because he shld stop biliving dt on a fair ground, a northerner cannot make the list.

Who exactly is favoring their side here ?? The majority of last year winners are Yorubas from the SW, your own region. And no person from Bayelsa won last year. I guess GEJ wanted to favour Yorubas and disfavor his own Ijaw people in Bayelsa.

If you have a 1st class relatively recently from a Nigerian University, you are less than 30 yrs old, and have completed your NYSC, you are eligible to apply for the PRESSID scholarship. Every single one of them (they are usually an average of 600) then writes a test, and then ONLY the top 109 candidates in that exams are selected STRICTLY ON MERIT. That was why Ogun and SW had the highest No of beneficiaries while Bayelsa, and most of the NW and NE had none or very little.

But people like you still complain cos your lazy and indolent 'masters' are complaining too. Why am I even surprised?? Didn't your Lord Buhari get into the Military on the strength of his Principal' recommendation cos he was Hausa-Fulani when others from the other parts of the country had to present their WASSCE results?? Even when he eventually presented the result and failed Maths, wasn't he made an Official, rose to the top in that institution and was just elected again to the very top by people like you?? Yet you chaps are the 1st to complain about the condition of Nigeria.

Bladdi HYPOCRITES!!!

Jesusloveyou:
both gej and silva allege to have misappropriate and mismanage fund,everybody knows how gej also join alam to steal,pej money laundre case is there,gej also contribute to d campaign of 2007,with billions,but today gej and pej are in trillions,

Does this thing you just wrote make any sense to you??

milychocs:
Trouble ooo
Does this mean we are in freaking danger of starting a nuclear war!! With the sheer alarming number of us!

It is more alarming than the soulless-ness of Nigerian marriages right? More alarming than the rates of poverty and unemployment? More worrisome than the tribalism now rife in the country? More alarming than the dangerous male chauvinism and not chivalry rampant on social networks in this country? Certainly more dangerous than the situation of migrants the world over? Of course the conditionalities of SAPs, World Bank and IMF pale in significance to the alarming number and alarm I, and my fellow unmarrieds pose to the calm, beautiful and concerned Nigerian society

Lawd! And Lol

I prefer the insults to the patronising and condescending tone of "are you gonna marry them...or are you God....or will they marry themselves?....
(Okay...I will now read the post and the comments)

Hahahaha....

You are not alone in this alarming l wonderment, dear

Jesusloveyou:
so u are not in this country,what everybody is aware of,stil ask ribadu and barcanista,even as they are loyalist of gej or google is ur friend,or even pej money laundre case is stil with efcc,tomoro now,u wil tell me,gej never stole kobo as president

Just give one instance of a case in which GEJ was ever accused of stealing OR SHUT d heck up

I wish Buhari well as he presides over Nigeria.

I still do not trust him much nor has my complete DISDAIN for his party abated, but he cannot afford to fail. If he fails, Nigeria fails for 4 years. So he is wished well.

Mat God grant him wisdom and strength to do only what us right for this country, in spite of himself and the many wolves around him

Jesusloveyou:
gej was also allege to have stole 32bnaira as a governor,from there he was allege to steal in trillions as a clueless president,d jail wil not contain they all.

You are a Bladdi LIAR, though son of Lucie father of all Liars.

Can you show me ANY WHERE GEJ was ever accused of stealing any money personally by anybody, whether as a Dependent Gov, Gov, Vice President or President. Upon all the Propaganda against his person, show me ONE PLACE where he was so accused!!!

Oya, start to dey name...

Lolz

Prof, in deed

EggovinMma:


Been there several times off nairaland too. Do you care to join me ?

Just take your time and learn, K.

In politics section we disagree with one another all the time. That's why it's politics. Disagreeing does however not mean insults though, evri time. And except you can stomach insults, you better not start throwing it around here. Could get really bladdi....

EggovinMma:


Go to hell, please remain there.

You did not just do this, gurl?? Throwing insults in politics any how when you have not been insulted, Abi??

Shebi you want your remaining stay in NL to be your personal helll??

EggovinMma:


Like i said, relax and make sense out of it! But if your logic is limited, none of my business. My post was based on someone's stupid comment.So don't worry yourself.

Much like answering a sillly comment with an even sillier one, right??

I get it now

Yeah!!!

That was why I appointed Timipre Silva, a man currently in court for #48bn corruption charges, to head my inauguration committee.

Eviribodi, Sai Mr 'antikorroption' .....

EggovinMma:


GO through the post again, don't rush this time around.

What you wrote made sense to you?? What is the correlation between both parts of the statements??

Hope you did some logic in school??

EggovinMma:
Why the complain about the 1 week inauguration?
The 8 weeks of dollars wastage by Jonathan's administration was for what purpose? and to what end?

What is the one yearning about??

soe:
if Timipreye Sylva is such a renowned thief as u rant..why did your Clueless Lord not petition EFCC? Or do i need to remind your daft skull that this guy has since being without immunity since 2011?

Let us see where your Hero will end after May 29

The guy and his fellow cohorts are currently in court answering corruption charges.

Shebi, Saraki of all persons is been considered for Senate President position by APC. And Bugudu, the notorious Abacha money laundering hit man who is wanted in the US is currently Kebbi Gov elect under APC.

So you believe APC is any different from PDP Abi?? You believe all those Propaganda and lies that you guys told Nigerians about your party abi?? Who the heck in his normal senses believes his own Propaganda??

Ikpi

soe:
the fprmer gov is working under the Buhari camp...don't you get? It is a pay back to Gej for removing him as governor

Timipre Silva, a renowned THIEF heading 'Mr anticorruption' inauguration committee so as to pay back GEJ??

Nigerians this is in deed the 'shaange' you need

K

Am missing the very long epistles of NL Chief Osun defender here...

Gbawe, wia you dey na?? We need your 'wisdom'

eCollynzo:
So that is where you stopped before rushing to comment? You didnlt get to this part?

Thisday only made an assumption and presented it as a fact in their headline.
Which is very sad.

It seems you are the only one with some sense here...

I am still searching where in the article America said it would sanction the persons the title of the article mrntioned

rokiatu:
better not to check on them. Like that it's easier to move on with life.

Really?? Even if you really cared for that person?

So this thing you just scribbled here made sense to you??

Why would the woman be attacked based on her marital issues or status? That is just sickening!! I stopped reading the article at that point.

yungEX:
releasing the urine u've been holding for 6 hours

I swear this is the only PHYSICAL thing that is anywhere as pleasurable as Sex

Nothing else in the physical realm is anywhere near as pleasurable as Sex. Let's stop deceiving ourselves

Nazeeboy post=32904495[b:
]all I have to say on that post is that the Op really tried in trying to point out the kind of money nigeria generate from our 2 major sources of income. The money generated from other sources when add altogether can't measure up to those two sources.[/b] But if you comapare the figures there put down by the OP with other money that is being looted in this administration that we received news of everyday, you will be wondering where the hell those kind of money is coming from? So what I believe is that there is more to Nigerian treasury that we seems to know about and only God knows. So instead of wishing failure for the incoming government based on our mere analyses here, we should put our differences aside for the interst of the nation and be hoping for the best from them and those to come after them.

OLODO, d OP 'didn't try' cos the OP was very wrong.

That's what we have been trying to say from the 1st page. Can't you read??

OAM4J:




Bro am not talking of loss due to pipeline vandalisation but loss due to oil theft. The figure I gave is the estimate, Madam Iweala gave.

1st, that figure you gave is mostly crude lost due to productions shutdown, not actual theft (only around 60,000bpd is actually stolen). But even if we were able to bring all these 450,000bpd to full production, there is NO WAY in helll we would be able to get 'hundreds of billions of dollars' like you claimed, talk less of the FG making that kind of money. The whole of Nigeria( And I mean d FG, states, LGA, 13% derivation, Excess crude, etc) does not even get more than bw $60-$80billion per annum from sales of the over 2million bpd crude that we currently make even at over $100pb talk less of these days when crude sell at less than $60 in the international market.

You were wrong, guy

OAM4J:
I ordinarily didnt want to join this debate but since Obiagelli has opened a counter thread, I feel there is need to strengthen her argument.

Fact is, I believe in this old Bank-PHP statement that 'impossible is nothing' and the common saying 'where there is a will, there is a way'. I believe the likes of Dr. Fayemi and Prof Osinbajo who came up with the manifesto are not dullards and they probably have more access to true figures of things than many of us, and they have strong reasons to believe in the feasibility of these things before making it public.

That said, I know without raising new taxes or even doing anything new (and of course I expect them to bring in a lot of new innovations) I know the money expected for these social welfare program can be gotten from the following:

1. Blocking oil theft of 350,000 to 450,000 barrels per day will give us hundreds of billions

2. hundreds of billions lost to corruption from customs duties. You only need to visit any Nigeria port to know this.

3. Aggressive drive towards collecting all taxes accruable to FG as it is done in Lagos, am sure that will also give us hundreds of billions.

It might take a little while, but if there is a sincerity of purpose and a strong will to implement these social programs, it is very doable.

Reali??

So 450000bpd crude sales, notwithstanding the Cost of production and profit sharing bw Nigeria and the Oil Companies and bw the tiers of Govt, can generate hundreds of billions of dollars?? How deep in your Azzzzes do you guys have to go to generate this amazing figures sef??

And you too na MOD

aresa:



What's your post about oil got to do with the fact that The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) generated N4.69 trillion from taxes for the federal government in 2014 and not the the oil you keep repeating blindly?

OLODO ×2

dinachi:
Thanx @OP for teaching PDP that Buhari is a promise keeper. Many of the clowns see Buhari through their corrupt eyes. It has not yet dawned on them that equity has come to Nigeria. You are in doubt? Wait until he takes over and we will compare notes! End of discussion.

See another one

aresa:






Generated from taxes/IGR and not oil?


Why do you people argue blindly, ignorantly and deceptively?

Yeah!!

The loudmouthed OLODOS have started to arrive.

Welcome, Bros

Obiagelli:

I already covered the revenue formula in my first post nah.

Obiagelli o, for Goodness sake, accept your huge errors and bow out gracefully. Your initial OP was a complete mess. Am sure you know that by now cos you are a smart gurl.

You would have noticed that most of us have been somewhat cautious in responding to you on this thread, in spite of the glaring errors in the OP. That cos you are considered about the sanest APC supporter here on NL. Don't overstretch that welcome, biko.

Do the graceful thing...

kaboninc:


Zenith Bank!!!

That's where the money is!

stave9ja:
If you all say the calc is a lie... Where did the 20b$ get lost from

Guys there is money in this country

Exactly!!!

That is what some of us have been wondering since we heard this news. Now, You tell us 'where did the $20b get lost from'??

IGNORAMUS

AdamsTJ:
