What's the deal here ? It's time consuming but possible.





Besides CNN will only show what's on ground

Why does Wizzy have those brown patches on his knuckles?


Hope our guy ain't bleaching o.

apparently bleaching is the latest cool thing in town after pink lips

A morón called me an "IPOB graduate" just because I had a conflicting stance to an argument he supported. Funny enough the mods seem to be partisan themselves here, openly taking sides. I've reported a guy for flouting rule 2 (which I also did) but the mod I reported to helped him edit his post while I was banned for a week. Politics section has gone to the dogs, it ain't fun up in here anymore

odeotito:
With respect to you, the issue here is not whether BH used guerilla tactics at inception. The issue is, did they ever fight The NA in a manner consistent with a semblance of conventional warfare?

no I believe not, the battle would have ended long ago in favour of the Nigerian army

odeotito:
"[s]Conventional warfare is a form of warfare conducted by using conventional weapons and battlefield tactics between two or more states in open confrontation. The forces on each side are well-defined, and fight using weapons that primarily target the opponent's military."

Friend, Buhari is correct. This has happened several times between BH and The NA. Do some research and you'll see. You could do with some decency though.[/s]

boko haram has been using guerrilla tactics from day one of their insurgency

Wale was there

LIAR boko haram haf technically defeated, stop blaming my misguided brothers Ni

[s]I don't blame you because you are used to darkness, so anything that shine a little to you is light. Even if it is bush lamp, you will be happy.

As for me I cant see properly with yellow dull light. How can cctv camera work effectively in that kind of light. By the time you hear how much they have spent on this outdated bulbs, your head will swell. It is our responsibility to ask question.

Befor you know it tomorrow you will see blue light, green light, even black light and APC light on our street. I reject it!!![/s]

talk to me when you finally start driving extensively (not on your bicycle or playstation o) till then you're still dense.

americanigga:
Can you spot the difference?

Street light in abroad is white and bright, Nigeria street light is yellow and dull

Please what is responsible?

Which do you prefer?

ol boy you dense sha o, please go to the abroad make we hear word. That's how one clown was asking why Nigeria should mark roads just because foreigners were marking their roads

Obiagelli:
Is this a comical analysis of the budget or what? these guys should get serious. I stopped reading when i get here

Why would anyone compare the numbers of computers in the ministry of interior with ten of thousands of offices nationwide with the ministry of science and technology.

seems you're the confused party here

APC keeps making PDP corruption look like child play

This is the fifth part of the #SaatahBudgetSeries. This part promises to be the most interesting of all Ministries whose budgets I’ve analysed so far. With a budget increase of over 200%, the Federal Ministry of Interior should have a lot to offer us.

The total budget for the Federal Ministry of Interior stands at 498,453,097,241; 428,374,007,241 out of the total budget is allocated for “Recurrent Expenditure” while the remaining, a rather meagre 70,079,090,000 has been allocated for “Capital Expenditure.”

Firstly, following our tradition since the beginning of this budget analysis series, I’ll outline the agencies and institutions that find themselves under the Federal Ministry of Interior, so as to pass my message across in a very clear and understandable form. These agencies/institutions are as follows: Federal Ministry of Interior—HQTRS, Nigerian Prison Service, Nigerian Immigration Service, Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, Civil Defence, Immigration and Prison Service Board (CIPD), Custom, Immigration, Prison Pension Office (CIPPO), Federal Fire Service, Police Pension Board, Nigeria Police Academy , Police Formation and Command HQTRS.

FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INTERIOR

“Fellow Nigerians” the Federal Ministry of Interior has a budget for books. Err actually this isn’t a red flag, instead I find it beautiful, that since our President didn’t see reading as important enough to put it in his budget, others have decided to read. Now let’s begin the analysis in earnest. The Federal Ministry of Interior has a budget of 347,750,647 for the “Purchase of Computers.” In 2013, the Federal Ministry of Interior “Purchased Computers” worth 75,343,403. This year, they’ve taken their maddening wasteful spending 450% percent higher, to a towering 347,750,647. This is more than the total amount budgeted by the Ministry of Science and Technology on the same item for three years; 2014, 2015 and 2016.

The Federal Ministry of Interior has also appropriated the sum of 576,500,000 for the “Construction/Provision of Electricity.” I don’t know, but what I’ve deduced from that budget is that the Federal Ministry of Interior must have been operating with lanterns and candles since inception. Nothing else justifies the spending of such a huge amount of money. If you’re wondering what 576,500,000 can achieve, it’ll electrify 33 communities; 30 communities in Ondo and 3 communities in the FCT according to the budget of the National Rural Electrification Agency.

In 2014, the Federal Ministry of Interior budgeted88,706,193 for the “Repair/Rehabilitation of Office Buildings,” while in the 2015 budget, it was 24,464,846. In the 2016 budget, the “Rehabilitation/Repairs Office Buildings,” that was done in 2104 and 2105, “elephantined” by almost 2500% to 595,606,148. Another thing I want you to know is that according to the 2014 budget, the Ministry of Interior building was damaged by a storm, and the 24,464,846 in the 2015 budget was for storm damaged rehabilitation, compare with the 595,606,148 in the 2016 budget.

The Federal Ministry of Interior will spend 6,200,000,000 on “Research and Development”. Firstly, that is more than the budget for the Ministry of Women Affairs, 3,974,395,038. To put this in perspective, 32 Agricultural Research Institutes and Colleges will spend a cumulative total of 4,411,236,320 on “Research and Development.”

The 2016 budget takes a very predictable trend. I have noticed that where the drafters of the budget don’t find creative ways to budget money that’ll probably end up inpersonal bank accounts; they put it under “Research and Development.” The Federal Ministry of Interior isn’t different in any away, everything about this budget smells of high level graft and the budget for “Research and Development” does more than prove this. The funny thing about this is that, when the items are broken down, the amount for “Research and Development” is only 200,000,000 and the bulk of the money, 6,000,000,000 ends up going to the “Special Intervention Fund for Police Formations and Command.” While the Police Formation and Command with a total budget of 300,100,330,698 didn’t give a breakdown of how it plans to spend its capital budget.

The Nigerian Prison Service has a budget of 3,519,266,507 for the “Construction/Provision of Prisons” and another 5,093,363,237 for the “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Prisons.” The problem here isn’t the amount budgeted for these items. Such huge sums have been budgeted over the years, but yet our prison system remains the same or sometimes gets worse than it was met. I hope these monies will be channelled and properly utilised.

I feel the funniest part of the budget for the Nigerian Prison Service is the part where 500,000,000 was budgeted for “Research and Development. “Furtherbreakdown shows that that amount will actually be spent on “Capacity Building.” Talking of a real building, according to the budget of the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, we can spend that same amount to get 6 blocks of 3 classrooms.

The Nigerian Immigration Service will spend 200,000,000 to “Acquire Land.” It is an open secret that government doesn’t buy land, they “collect” and “pay compensation”. I’d love to know how they plan to spend the 200,000,000 set aside of that purpose or maybe they’re compensating an entire village.

2,120,000,450is what the Nigerian Immigration Service will spend on “Security Equipment.” That’s an increase of over 800% from the 2014 budget for same item which stood at 258,000,000 and a 2500% increase from the 2015 budget where same item had a budget of 86,057,143.

The Nigerian Immigration Service spent 250,000,000 to “Construct Office Buildings” in 2014 and 133,302,386 in 2015. In the 2016 budget, the Nigerian Immigration Service changes the game; they have a budget of 1,301,229,706 for the same item. That’s an increase of over 400% from the 2014 budget and almost 1000% increase from the 2015 budget. There’s also a separate 500,000,000 that is meant for the “Rehabilitation/Repairs of Office Buildings.”

The Nigerian Immigration Service will also spend 450,000,000 for the “Provision of Solar Powered Boreholes.” They also want to spend 1,300,214,210 on the “Purchase of Patrol and Operational Vehicles.” Now, here’s the problem; they also budgeted another 1,385,131,167 for the “Purchase of All Terrain Vehicles for Land Patrol.” I would love to know the difference between these two items because they look like the same thing to me, “Patrol Vehicles.”

The Federal Fire Service has budgeted 5,622,131,167 for the “Procurement of Fire Fighting Equipment for Existing Fire Station in Abuja and Lagos.” Another 749,943,030 is budgeted for “Rehabilitation of Firefighting Equipment (Abuja and Lagos).” There seems to be an agreement that the rest of the country can burn to the ground.

The Police Formation and Command HQTRS failed to give a detailed breakdown of what their 17,009,090,000capital budget will be used for.

We have come to the end of the fifth part of my budget analysis series. What I’ve noticed with the budget for the Federal Ministry of Interior isn’t entirely different from what I’ve noticed with other Ministries; there is an inflation of budget sums in a lot of areas and there also exists some very unnecessary/vague items put in the budget with millions (or billions in some cases) allocated to them.

As I leave you to apply rational reasoning concerning this budget, let me add a little in-between: In the 2015 budget for the Ministry of Land and Housing, 200,000,000 was set aside for the “Completion of Construction of a Mausoleum and Library Complex in Honour of Late Rt. Hon. Dr NnamdiAzikiwe.” In this year’s budget for the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, 1,143,575,058is budgeted for the same item. Another 137,552,031 will be spent on “Provision of Furnishings in the New Mausoleum and Library Complex in Honour of Late Rt. Hon. Dr NnamdiAzikiwe.”Dr.NnamdiAzikiwe must be clapping in his grave for this Houdini-like stunt.

tuale4u:
[s]Evasive but tactical. Instead of answering d question he decided to promote what he did for allowing peaceful election.

In order words, what Jonathan was simply saying is dat since he allowed peaceful election, $2.1bn looting is not important.

For me everybody who shared d $2.1bn must return it. Only GEJ can be 4given[/s]

man you're really really dense sha.

...."In our country(Nigeria), there are laws: when issues are before a court of law, people who have one thing or the other to do with these issues are not expecred to make comments because it is considered as prejudice.



"As a former president if I make comments, it will affect the witnesses, court processes and so on. So I will not make any comment until most of these things are settled....."

You better go and study your secondary school comprehension notes again. Keep the thanks

TheophilusA:
The chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign and Domestic Debts, and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs, Senator Shehu Sani (APC, Kaduna Central Senatorial District) has revealed that over $200 billion was stolen by corrupt Nigerians, and stashed in Dubai. Sani, who was fielding questions from newsmen after women supporters from his political ward paid him a solidarity visit at one of his campaign offices in Kaduna, told reporters that President Muhammadu Buhari would expose and prosecute looters.
In his words, Sani said: “Corrupt Nigerians have stashed unbelievable amount of monies in Dubai alone in the name of estates acquisition, purchase of exotic houses and business partnership in the last 16 years. Some have stashed raw cash. This is why the US, and Europe are making conditions for laundering of money into their countries very difficult. These crooks have now found it conducive to use the Middle East and South East Asia as their destinations. They use names of their cronies, family members and friends to siphon public funds out of Nigeria.
“Some of them are APC members, who had their political upbringing in the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). Sooner than later those who are parading themselves as Buhari’s friends, but are corrupt, will be interrogated, prosecuted because the President does not know friend or relation as far as the fight against corruption is concerned. It was based on the information on the quantity and quality of the assets of corrupt Nigerians, that President Buhari had to sign that agreement with UAE at Abu Dhabi. I can tell you that it was smart and patriotic move.
“Let me advise the President to steer clear of hypocrites, because it is better to live with an enemy than hypocrite because hypocrite derives joy from stabbing one’s back. Over $200 billion Dollars are stashed away from Nigeria to Dubai alone. This may the monies stolen since in the past 20 years. I am not talking about estates and bonds and other securities bought with Nigeria stolen money. Buhari is going to recover all these monies and assets with the help of UAE. If you notice now, since the agreement, some of the corrupt persons are now rushing to Dubai to effect changes in the ownerships of the ill-gotten assets. But, they are just wasting their time.
”President Buhari needs the support of all Nigerians to wipe out corruption from the country. The President is on rescue mission. He needs our support. We cannot sit down idly and watch people sabotaged Buhari, and I can tell you that since Buhari went to Dubai, there were three attempts to sabotage Buhari’s government. The first one was that they planted a story in newspapers that there was crisis in Buhari’s government because he went to Dubai. The second one was that they planted fake lists of Nigerians that have property in Dubai, while we were waiting for the original list of those who have houses in Dubai. And the third one was to sponsor foreign media to discredit Buhari’s economic policies”.
