barcanista:
I read an article titled Things We Have Noticed Since PMB Assumed Power - Must Read. On reading the said article I had to pause to ask myself whether this is the kind of government Nigerians brought to power via the March 28 poll- A government of propaganda. This thread is aimed at addressing the Propaganda by the author of the said thread.

1. Electricity Has "Greatly" Improved Without Power Minister:
Though some areas have seen improved power, many other areas are experiencing difficult times when it comes to power. How did the OP of that thread arrive at the conclusion that power has "greatly" improved? How many megawatt of electricity has the Buhari administration added since May 29? Did the so-called power improve in Daura and Aso Rock alone? It is even pathetic that No new policy on electricity has been initiated nor implemented by the buhari administration. So what are we saying?

2. Petroleum Sector:
The writer went further to say that "refineries are almost fully revamped and disappearance of queues at filling station". This is a barefaced lie and an insult to our sensibilities. Refinery Turn Around Maintenance was instituted by GEJ's administration and the NNPC clearly stated earlier this year that they will be up and running by 2016. However, the Buhari team came up to tell us that PH refinery will work at 80% level by End of June or Early July. We have passed this date and yet nothing. The writer rather than keep quiet still went on to say refinery will be up within a "month". Which month again is he referring to? The writer obviously isn't a resident of Nigeria otherwise he'd have noticed fuel queues in cities like Lagos and Abuja. In fact, fuel is sold above the approved pump price in many filling stations across Nigeria.
The writer talked about subsidy payment, it is a shame that the same Buhari that said there was nothing like subsidy is the same person paying billions of Naira for the same subsidy. I don't even know what the author was trying to say because Buhari is yet to make any move to see to reduction of money spent on subsidy. In fact it was GEJ's Finance Minister Ngozi Iwaela that instituted committee to verify subsidy claims by marketers.

3. Foreign Affairs:
It is funny that the author tried to make it appear like the MNJTF was Buhari's idea. The truth is MNJTF was formed under the Jonathan's administration, Buhari only inherited what GEJ put in place. It is also funny that the author counted rhetoric support of G7 as part of Buhari's achievement. This is a shame. In fact, under GEJ Western countries like UK, Canada, France etc as well as Affrican countries pledged assistance to President Jonathan when he was in power against Boko terrorists.

4. Trade and Investment:
This will make the most pathetic among all the propaganda items. It is on record that there has been no new industry nor has any plan to come in since Buhari took over because investors don't understand the direction of the government. In fact, it was reported that billions have been lost and cost of commodities in the market have increased since Buhari took over.

www.leadership.ng/business/440371/nigerians-groan-under-high-cost-of-goods

5. Anti-Corruption:
The author also listed names of people on bail as achievement of Buhari. What is there to celebrate when Admiral Nyako and his son APC Senator Aziz Nyako that are facing N30billion corruption charge (instituted by GEJ) were granted bail of meagre N350million each? Nothing has been heard of Timpre Sylva. What is it to celebrate when Sule Lamido and Sons are yet to be convicted but merely remanded? Ali Modu Sheriff is still walking a free man. Though we commend him for instituting the case against Ikedi Ohiakim, what is there to celebrate when the former Governor has been granted bail?

6. Public Finance:
It is also funny that the author eulogised Buhari for sharing our common wealth to governors in the name of bailout. The same governors that mismanaged almost N3trillion that they got from the ECA between 2011 and 2014.
I want to appreciate the CBN under Buhari for the $3billion increase of our reserve but I want to remind the sai buhari group that they were the same people that called for the head of CBN Gov Godwin Emefiele when he announced that the CBN will no longer spend our foreign exchange to import 40 items including toothpick and Private jet. In fact one of them created a thread where he claimed to be an economist to chide the CBN Gov. Yet the result of the CBN policy yielded extra $3billion in Reserve www.nairaland.com/2422899/cbn-governor-should-sacked-immediate.

It is understandable that the Sai Buhari group have been looking aimlessly for something to hold on to as "Buhari's achievement since May 29, I urge them to shun the propaganda route but instead tell Mr President to do what is right. Nigerians are tired of hearing of multiple bomb blast everyday. We are still waiting for Buhari's asset declaration. Investors are waiting for policy direction. Nigerians cannot be deceived anymore. Buhari should get to work.

midolian:
A former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, his two sons Aminu and Mustapha and one Aminu Wada Abubakar are to remain in Kano Central Prsion till September 28, 2015.

The quartet were remanded in prison custody Thursday morning by Justice Evelyn Anyadike of the Federal High Court sitting in Kano after they were docked on a 28-count charge of corruption and money laundering brought against them by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

They were arraigned alongside four companies where the Lamidos are believed to have interest.

The companies are Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamiana Company Nigeria Limited, Bamaina Aluminum Limited and Speeds International Limited.

Lamido is said to have abused his position as governor of Jigawa State between 2007 and 2015, by awarding contracts to companies where he has interest, using his two sons, Aminu and Mustapha as front.

One of the counts in the charge reads, “That you Alhaji Sule Lamido (while being the Governor of Jigawa State, Nigeria), Aminu Sule Lamido, Mustapha Sule Lamido, Bamaina Holdings Limited, Bamaina Company Nigeria Limited and Speeds International Limited between 15th October and 18th December, 2008 within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court did convert an aggregate sum of N124, 649, 915 (One Hundred and Twenty Four Million, Six Hundred and Forty Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred and Fifteen Naira) paid by Dantata & Sawoe Limited into the account of Speeds International Limited domiciled with an old generation Bank at Kano which fund you reasonably ought to have known to be proceeds of an unlawful act of Alhaji Sule Lamido who was a Public Officer within the meaning of the Code of Conduct for Public Officers as prescribed under the Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 ( as amended ) to wit; engaging in private business by a public officer, using the said company in which he is a director and a shareholder, and to whose account he is a signatory; with the aim of concealing the illicit origin of the said sum and you thereby committed an offence punishable under Section 14 (A) of the Money Laundering Act, 2004.”

However when the charges were read to the accused persons they pleaded not guilty.

Their counsel, Offiong Offiong, SAN told the court that he had filed application for bail and urged the court to consider granting the accused persons bail.

But prosecuting counsel, Chile Okoroma, requested for time to respond to the application.

He prayed the court to remand the accused persons in prison custody as the EFCC holding facilities in Abuja and Kano were already overstretched.

Justice Anyadike consequently remanded the accused persons in prison custody pending consideration of their bail application and adjourned to September 28, 2015.

After the judge’s pronouncement, a mild drama ensued between Lamido and the Deputy Chief Registrar of Federal High court, Barrister Solomon Akpedah.

Lamido was asked to proceed to board the waiting van taking him to Kano central prison when he exclaimed, “you mean I’m now a prisoner?!”.

Akpedah, however, replied that “no sir, you are not a prisoner”.

The arraignment of Lamido and his children was not without incident as an unruly crowd of supporters loyal to the former governor threatened to disrupt the court session.

It took reinforcement of the detachment of policemen at the court to maintain order.

The travails of the Lamidos began in 2012 when one of his sons, Aminu was arrested by Operatives of the EFCC at the Aminu Kano International Airport, Kano for failing to declare a sum of forty thousand United States Dollars ($40,000).

He was prosecuted and convicted with 50 percent of the undeclared sum forfeited to the Federal Government.

But the enquiries into the source of the funds led investigators into the closely guarded web of corruption and money laundering involving members of the former first family of Jigawa State and their cronies.

"That the Efcc holding facility in abuja is over stretch"this is jus the the starting point on war against pen robbers,and the holding facility is crowded,buhari is working,while wailers are wailing.

Rawani:
These men deprived elderly Nigerians of the fruits of their long days of labouring for a secure future, out of nothing but pure greed and selfishness. Despite their huge salaries and allowances for things as trivial as newspapers, these self appointed tormentors of the Nigerian masses still had the inhumanity to dip their sticky fingers in the pensions of old workers, left to live what's left of their lives in pain, misery and unearned ridicule.

Orosanye should be made to pay fully and heavily for his crimes if found guilty.

EFCC is kicking...Change promised...Change delivered.

This is the same efcc that jonathan and the pdp reduced them to a willing tool in their hand,they were ruduced them to class prefect,now they have free hand to operate,who say change is not possible?

jcross19:
yes they will they are his boys

Your grandpa had no sense,ur oldmans brain is dead,your own brain is touch,your problem is beyond redemption.

mekadinho:
Funny, can u just fulfil ur promise of wiping them out and stop forcing lies to our throat. ISIS, boko haram, alquada etc are practicing what ur holy book said. I was in Bauchi when some Musli.ms murdered innocent fellow citizens because of Miss world venue issue. They were shouting Allah alk...
By d way, u, ur party APC, and Northern elders are part of da reason why GEJ didn't find chibok girls. U guys politicized everytin, making mockery of d fight without suggesting any damn tin. Infant u won ur election cos of da chibok girls issues... D election is over, go find chibok girls, its part of ur promise.

Hypocrite,who or what prevented you from giving same advice to jonathan?
continue crying(cc).

Anybody that is not a Muslim is considered as an unbeleiver.

Go to hell

Sweetguy25:
It looked like the end of Boko Haram was in sight during the twilight of GEJ's administration. Everyone could attest that before GEJ handed over, Boko Haram were at their lowest ebb in years due to effective and extensive military offensive launched against them.
However, since Buhari assumed office, Boko Haram has found their rhythm once again, claiming over 600 lives in less then 2 months and scoring hattricks of bombings here and there.
Their end does not seem to be in sight, with all due respect.
Buhari should say what he did to the military.

Dickk-head,hiw many people were killed in baga? waiting for the answer pls

kestolove95:
Rubbish

puss.y,who give the Bleep about what you think?

jcross19:
yes ooh even though he vomit into your mouth. Some people are dying , killing by his kinsman nothing have been done on it , everyday bombing huh this is too much, now I know that some poster on nairaland have lost their sense of human because paying the workers is that big deal? Won't be paid again? Didn't they deserve their salaries? Na wah ooh.

The question you asked above is meant for jesus of okrika,dnt be economical with truth,you hypocrite!

francescainnoce:
It's sickening!!!!!!
I hate when men play politics with life's and peoples rights to living...
Before now my friends and colleagues will ask me " hey Francesca tell me about Nigeria as a holiday destination" but now it's being rephrased to " hey Francesca have they found those missing girls" or " i hear they bombed somewhere today, how many casualties"... Imagine!!!
I am sure so many Nigerians feel same way and wishes to help but they are incapacitated due to several reasons like distance for example..if this nonsense don't stop, trust me someday Nigerian youths will stand against its government and that could be messier...

Under which administration the girls went missing?
where were you when gej travelled to kano to dance shoki with his pdp clowns while security agents were still picking the pieces of human flesh in nyan nyan bomb blast?
Don't be a hypocrite,jonah brought boko haram and is founded by the niger deltans.

Don't mind pdp with her wailing wailers,they want to push him to make a mistake so that they will rejoice,but it will not work,Barcanista and his co-wailers have four years to wail.

barcanista:
Propaganda just to score cheap points. Where are the bodies of the 600 BH killed? They know that Nigerians are pained and in need of result so they quickly paid a quacky journalist to write nonsense from the comfort of his bedroom under the guise of "the source". We all want the army to crush the terrorists but we shall not accept propaganda. When GEJ was in power the army showed us pictures of BH terrorists that they killed.

Go to borno na,but wait o,make i ask you,where is the body of Osama bin laden?
if you answer me,i will show you where the six hundred bodies are.
