SOPHISTICATED STATES GETTING THE HIGHEST BAIL OUT FUNDS

Ogun (N20.00bn)
Ondo (N14.686bn)
Osun(N34.988bn)
Oyo( N26.606bn )

Those states have some of the lowest money coming in from the FG's revenue sharing formula. So no surprise.

What is surprising is Bayelsa state collecting so much money, despite a high IGR, getting the lions share of the revenue sharing formula and getting the 13% derivation funds.

Shame.

Barcanista is trying too hard to become a 'youth leader' in PDP.

Guy doesn't realize that by 2019, PDP will have degenerated into a joke

Comparatively speaking GEJ is not rich. His house in Abuja is grand but doesn't even come close to Sanusi Lamido's crib in Maitama

210 million Naira in 2007 was rich. His assets - many of which are landed property - have definitely massively appreciated over the years.

Nobody said anything about 'comparative wealth' here.

Abiola Ajimobi declared N2billion







Whatcha say

I'm going to say you need to get a better education.

I said GEJ is rich. I never said he is the richest person to ever be in Government, or that it is a crime to be rich.

Please do not let partisan politics disgrace your English teacher or shame those who paid for your education.

Cheers.

Didn't even know US was conolized by Britain

Why am I not surprised ? Majority of his listeners (like you) are poorly educated, gullible folks.

If Nigeria is really a Zoo as Mr Kanu claims, we know the animal his followers behave like : sheep.

In 2007 Jonathan declared assets in excess of 210 million naira.

For this man to say he is not rich 8 years on is just plain mischievous.

During his asset declaration in 2007, nearly half his assets were said to be from 'savings and gifts in kind'. If he was already accepting big gifts as a governor, one wonders what type of gifts GEJ has been accepting in the past 8 years at the presidency.

GEJ is almost certainly a very rich man now. Quote me anywhere.

Stale stuff.

using the argument that this is better than a Phantom Z is just plain silly. Technology improves with time, and the chipsets in the phantom Z have been phased out with more powerful, more capable chips at the same volume pricing. Ditto for the screens. RAM is cheaper to include. Basically, the added features are a natural progression of technology.
Nobody pays more for an iPhone 6 than they paid for a much less powerful iPhone 4S.

More importantly, you KNOW you're guaranteed software updates if you go with samsung, Sony or lg Flagships from the previous generation which are still more powerful than this device and definitely come with better cameras.

If you're going to get a high end Chinese phone, go for xiaomi. At least , you're guaranteed updates and a much bigger user community.

themaskedman:
What's there to read other than your dullard of a president being petty. The state govt has explained that the highway won't cut through the park bug will be several kilometres away and that the EIA is being handled by a reputable firm.
You don't think the CRSG will be foolish enough not to take all that into consideration before going ahead with the project. Because your president is dull and brainless he shouldn't think every other person is.

The only dullard here is you. Does it not sound a red flag in your head that the EIA is yet to be completed?

Buhari is ensuring the right thing is done (and you can see from the article that the proposed road will now be rerouted to assuage all concerns) and you're here complaining.

Rubbish

Mods, please ban this clown if he does not post any details.

Looks like a hoax to me.

PointB:
Actually, if PMB failed it's the prominent Duara dullard that has failed. His failure is his alone.

A glorified truck garage is what's proposed here, I believe the dullards in duara will benefit more from it!

Buhari has succeeded massively. He has become president , after years of trying, and he is trying to fix nigeria in his own way.

Only failure here is you. More tHan 4 years on nairaland, sycophantically canvassing for a mediocre Government... Only to end in abject defeat.

Seems the sting of failure is behind these salty comments. Accept my sympathies.

omenka:
Rubbish!!! This was approved by Jonathan!! Buhari should steer clear South East if he doesn't want trouble. We don't need any assistance from the zoo, not appointments, not infrastructure!! Biafra can stand on its own!!

God bless Jonathan!!



Absolutely my brother!! Only a trailer park!! Buhari must think Igbos are fools!!

.

Smh.

ismart:
I just had to comment because I realised that there are so few "wife" around here and it's just complete waste engaging folks.

There seem to be a misconception in my writeup.

I didn't imply that she should become house help automatically. What mean is that she seem to lack complete home maintenance... The like that won't even collect a broom from her MIL if she saw her sweeping.

Come on people, is this how you guys treat your MIL or would like to be treated by your DIL?

There is what is expected of a wife to show she has proper home training. This girl is lacking in that department completely.

But since people here don't see anything wrong with such attitude, I do hope their future DIL treat them in same manner and even give them plates to wash or clothes to wash and fall back on bed watching movie. By then they will understand better.

To those who have been defending her act, do you go to your MIL's house, wake up in the morning and do absolutely nothing? You people should know that someone is reading what is posted and you might passing wrong message.

Can you swear that you have NEVER done anything in anyway to show your mother in law that you are well brought up or where you came from they don't have elders there?

Jehovah!

I rest my case.

Abeg, when you 'kick her out', will you bear a child for your cousin? Abi you think this is still 1965 where you will kick out the mother and still keep her baby?

neocortex:
You are the one who can't comprehend, the article states how much it costs to transport one barrel via pipeline but was silent on the cost of one barrel via shipping instead they stated the total costs of the shipping contract to make it look like fraud.

Why didn't the writer state the total cost of pipeline transport and also the cost of one barrel via shipping ?

Logic demands that we compare barrel to barrel not barrel to contract cost.

I know you don't care about the veracity of the article all you need is a scapegoat to put blames on.

The total cost of pipeline transport is there.

The total cost per barrel with the shipping approach is there. The article explicitly states this.

Please READ!

neocortex:
People who use their brain do not judge based on what one party did they listen to both!,
but because you have been programmed to believe anything you read you ignored the
application of common sense. The article wrote about how much the contract costs without
mentioning the cost and failures of transporting through the pipeline, that is to tell you they have something
to hide, but zombies like you don't care , all you do is check the names of the alleged offenders and boom you go.
SMH.

Actually, the cost of transportation via pipeline is explicitly mentioned in the article. Nobody's fault If you can't read properly.

There is no point in babbling about common sense yet coming out to defend a contract that was paying $15 to transport a barrel of crude even when oil price has dropped to as low as $50 per barrel.

Your stance doesn't surprise me...it is well known that Nigeria has many enemies. You're one of them

otunsman:
This northern president is looking for any means necessary to paint jonathan in bad light.Can buhari swear he didn't perpetrated fraud while he was ptdf and minister of petroleum?

Quick question.

Do you pay taxes?

Because if you did, you'd not be filled with the urge to defend those who steal our wealth.

If you have detailed information exposing buhari, by all means, bring it out. If not, why try to cover this up ?

jomonic:
The truth might offend but it's not a sin. Permit me to paraphrase Bob Marley. There was corruption during GEJ's government. Agreed!!! But that wasn't exactly the reason Buhari and his constituencies wanted him out of power. They only used that as a deceptive cover because they understand that down south people are very objective in outlook without being strategic. The big picture is lacking. I pray Buhari succeed but from his present style I have doubts. Not much of a difference from previous governments ran by northerners. Just my opinion but time will tell. Am just scared that at the end of 8 years we will look back and say what a waste of time.

No. You don't hope he succeeds. You're an ethnic bigot who is so caught up with his antipathy with Northerners that you care nothing for your own country.

millions of Nigerians in the South voted for Buhari, so silly comments about 'his constituency' make no sense.

TonyeBarcanista:
Story...story...Story! They have been saying all these since campaign period till date WITHOUT implementing any.

Buhari/Osinbajo is a failed PROJECT!

Ironic that you condemn people who play 'politics of hate' in your signature while you're the expert at that.

Wail on, bro.

But this is the height of illiteracy to take 1.7km bridge and 10km roads and say "the project is about 12km"

Sorry, the bridge is by FAR the most expensive component, and it accounts for only 1.7km. One would be generous to ascribe more than a few billions to road construction, especially where expensive settlement and compensation payments do not have to be made.


The truth is that this 2nd Niger bridge contract is just a BIG insult to all Igbos. 117 billion Naira is about what is forked over to ex-militants yearly, and is about the same amount earmarked to expand Abuja roads. Yet some folks from that region are applauding as their kinsmen inked a deal to justify the corrupt charging of tolls for the next 25 years...some of their Children will grow up and be tolled on that bridge!

Is there no special place in hell for those who sell their children out over petty politics?

jomonic:
The north did not oust him alone. They did in collaboration with some gullible southerners who believed that Buhari was for real

Rubbish

The gullible ones are those that believed that there was hope for 'transformation' even under the same kleptocratic PDP Government of GEJ that will go down in history as perhaps the most corruption friendly government we've ever had in Nigeria.

March 2015 will live forever in the minds of Nigerians as the time when millions of brave citizens decided to decisively punish mediocre leadership at the polls.

But APC denial receiving any money from the woman..

Smartgunna:
Stupidity has built a mansion in your brain. What is good for the geese should be good for the gander too. You're quick to vilify PDP but when open bare faced corruption stares u in the face, your brain goes comatose. Maybe you should send the boy a letter of commendation since you have nothing to say about his disgusting/pornographic display of ill gotten wealth.

I vilify PDP for nearly ruining Nigeria. I vilify ALL corrupt Nigerians. I loathe corruption even more than you do, and I struggle to understand where you see me defending or turning a blind eye to this boy's vulgar display, if true.

However, this entire story was written with one slant in mind...to state explicitly that the corrupt Coomassie was on Buhari's initial list of ministerial nominees. That part is purely made up propaganda and I suspect you already know this.

If you read the entire article without that part sticking out like a sore thumb, then you may need to re-evaluate your mental acuity.

anonimi:
Has your Sai Buhari complied 100% with his voluntary PROMISE of declaring his assets PUBLICLY and making sure all his political appointees declare publicly also BEFORE they are appointed

Please add president GEJ's public declaration in 2011 as president to your comparison.

Oh, he didn't? LOL!

ProfessorPeter:
TB Joshua has every right to own a private jet if he can afford it. After all he's a private citizen. You money lost ne?

Good. And what is his source of income?

Lol.
Is there anyone here who doesn't know that breakingtimes is a PDP propaganda machine?

Shameful party never learnt the proper lesson why GEJ lost. They still think it is because of online blogs. So now we have the likes of breakingtimes, newsrescue and savinggracereporters spreading their usual stories.

Tell us again how every crook in Nigeria was on Buhari's appointment list. Smh

We had a lenient person in the past administration. That's all I can say

Since when did the past president become a member of the judiciary?

All these adjectives you wailers use. Heroic. Lenient. Amiable.

What doth it profit a man to be all these things and yet be incompetent?

FullDepth1:
You must have been a child (12yrs old) when Fashola, Tinubu and their Cohorts killed Lagosians with a 3km Lekki road reconstruction. Placing 3 Toll gates, Apart from the Lekk/Ikoyi Bridge which was supposed to be SWEET ..

Here you are, Deaf to your Lagos Criminal acts, and Talking about the Eastern 12km Bridge

How Dare you !!! How Dare you Talk about it !

! .... Go home and ask your people to remove the Log of wood in your eyes First !

My dear child,
Please Note that not everyone who disagrees with you must be a Lagos based Yoruba man.

When you grow up and stop living with mummy and daddy, you will be smart enough to understand points your betters are making without resorting to aimless conjecture.

Cheers.

This is a DJI Phantom. Manufactured ke.

How the heck did this hit front page? This is embarrassing to Nigerians to be calling a consumer quadrocopter /drone a 'flying camera'

Na WA

Living monument to the colossal scam played on Igbos by GEJ and some greedy SE leaders.

GEJ promised to build the bridge as a pledge to the Igbos. Bridge is projected to cost around 110bn. He waited until a coalition of businessmen came on who were willing to charge their kinsmen tolls for 25 years on a bridge they should have been plying for free.
In a country where amnesty payments are fully funded, and the Abuja road expansion project was fully funded by the FG, the PPP arrangement for the 2nd niger bridge must count as one of the biggest betrayal of trust.

Don't get me wrong. It's good th bridge is being built. But it's a bitter sweet deal.
