Happy birthday my Sai Baba! They said you will die soon but they are the ones down with terminal illness. May you live long and actualize God's plan for making you our GCFR and may your detractors live to see the benefits of this administration. I believe that one day, this day will be declared a public holiday in future. The father and initiator of new better Nigeria.

We unequivocally deny that President Buhari received $300,000.00 or any monetary compensation whatsoever from the Jonathan Presidency or any of its officials, in the aftermath of that attack, or at any other time since then.
While it is true that one armoured SUV and one untreated SUV were sent to the President in the aftermath of the attack, the vehicles were in keeping with his entitlements as a former Head of State under the Remuneration of Former Presidents and Heads of State (And other Ancillary Matters) Decree of 1999.
Section 3, Sub Section 1 of that Decree provides that three vehicles will be provided for former heads of state and replaced every four years.
There was therefore nothing untoward, illegal or tending to corruption in former Head of State Buhari and Presidential aspirant, as he then was, receiving vehicles, to which he was statutorily entitled , from the Federal Government of Nigeria.
President Buhari had in keeping with his austere, spartan and frugal disposition shunned most of his entitlements as a former Head of State, but was prevailed upon by his supporters to accept the two vehicles for his personal safety in the aftermath of the dastardly attempt to assassinate him.
It is preposterous to think that the President will allow his acclaimed reputation of honesty and incorruptibility to be tarnished by accepting a questionable monetary compensation from a discredited regime.

OZAOEKPE:
SINCE MAY NA SUMMON, PROBE, INVESTIGATION, ARREST, EFCC ETC, NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT ECONOMY??

Everyone in this administration is working but the newspapers will only go for stories that we generate more money or traffic for their site.
EFCC investigating Dansuki, won't prevent other Ministry or agency from working. Dansuki case dey like blue film that most people can't resist to click on anytime they see new development on the case.

Op this one na November denial before Dunsuki opened up. We dey wait for Dec. own. Just like NOI, his new statement will be different from this one.

I will continue to wail....... This change is pure scam meanwhile apc should blame Jonathan

Presidency/ the executive, APC and National Assembly are not same and each has their own fan. If you watch closely you will noticed that the executive is working hard to reduce the cost of governance. The NA are not helping matters and are made up of APC and PDP. Why is it always Sahara reporters or Premium time that brings news of insensitive of the senate to the public and not your Demigod Bruce Lee?

These fools will only take us seriously the day we shun party differences and unite to demand for good governance. They all drop their difference once it comes to money sharing or things that will benefit them.

Was it Jega that conducted the elections in the 36 states of the federation? He only announced the results the states submitted to Abuja. If there is anyone to be blamed, channel it to the INEC officials in the state and the desperate politicians that contributed. Its just like blaming a State Governor for poor performance of LG chairmen in the state.

Thanks for the info. God bless you.

Members of the Nigerian Senate on Wednesday commenced debate on the Medium Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) presented to the upper legislative body by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr. Buhari had forwarded the MTEF to the Senate on Monday.
Under Nigerian public finance system, the MTEF is the precursor to budget, as well as Fiscal Strategy Paper (FSP), which details spending and revenue projections for three years.
At the Senate plenary Wednesday, lawmakers differed on the $38 per barrel benchmark projected as the price of crude of oil, the mainstay of the Nigerian economy.
Leading the debate, the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, asked the Senate to consider an upward review of the crude oil benchmark for the 2016 budget.
In his opinion the $38 oil benchmark is “conservative”.
Mr. Ekweremadu therefore urged the senate to peg the oil benchmark for the 2016 budget at $40 per barrel.
“I have looked at the projection for the oil price,” he began, adding that “the benchmark of $38 per barrel appears to me to be conservative. From the projection of oil price for 2016 it is estimated that it will hover between $40 and $45.
“I like to suggest that the senate consider an oil benchmark of $40. I’m sure that this will help cushion the problems we have in the states.”
However, Adamu Aliero, an All Progressives Congress Senator from Kebbi State, opposed Mr. Ekweremadu’s proposal, saying it was unrealistic.
“It is unrealistic. I therefore recommend we take it to $35 per barrel,” he said.
Mr. Aliero added that it had been projected that the global price of crude oil would fall further in 2016.
The global price of crude oil fell from $38 to $35 on Wednesday.
Also, speaking, Olalekan Adeola (APC-Lagos West), queried the indices used by the Buhari-led cabinet in determining that “the price of oil will increase or decrease or fall below $38″.
“We can allow it (benchmark) to be like that but we should let the committee do a thorough job,” Mr. Adeola said.
Speaking further, he urged the Federal Government to increase borrowing and improve budgetary share of capital expenditure.
Mr. Adeola’s view on capital expenditure vis-a-vis infrastructural development was corroborated by Ben Bruce (PDP-Bayelsa East), who canvassed massive borrowing to “industrialize this nation” and develop infrastructure.
Saying “it does matter the party it comes from; what is important is that we develop”, Mr. Bruce maintained that “this budget is good” and commended the Finance Minister for a “good job”.
Also, he said if petrol was fully de-subsidized, the effect would be felt in the public transport sector. He noted that “prices of goods would not increase since diesel had always been deregulated.”
He, therefore, urged Mr. Buhari to subsidize public mass transit system, citing instances the United States, Germany and South Africa as examples of countries where that had been done successfully.
Dino Melaye (APC-Kogi West) also made a case for infrastructural development.
He proposed that capital expenditure be increased to 35 per cent because “APC promised infrastructural development”.
Peter Nwaoboshi (PDP-Delta North) drew the attention of the Senate to alleged “hidden things” in the MTEF.
For instance, he said it should be noted that “this government has removed subsidy on kerosene”.
Also, he said allocation to the Niger Delta amnesty programme had been reduced.
For him, the fall-out of the Bayelsa election showed that militants still existed.
Thus, he urged the Federal Government to jettison any plan to cut its commitment to the amnesty programme.
He also noted the reduction of National Assembly budget from N120 billion to N115 billion.
Mr. Buhari proposed N500 billion for social welfare programme in the 2016 budget.
“The federal government will collaborate with state governments to institute well-structured social welfare intervention programme such as school feeding programme initiatives, conditional cash transfer to the most vulnerable, and post National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) grant,” the president said in a letter containing read by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
“N500 billion has been provisioned in the 2016 budget as social investments for these programmes.”
Mr. Buhari added that the interventions would start as a pilot scheme, and that the government would work towards securing the support of donor agencies and development partners in order to minimise potential risks.
The MTEF was later referred to the Senate Committees on Appropriations and Finance for further legislative actions.

Whizpeter:
Bro I'm sorry this feedback is coming late, network is poor over here....
I have done the above, now the system boots up but the screen doesn't...
The fans come on, the capslock button indicator is responding,the WiFi button is also responding but the screen just shows white... No sign of Life at all...
If I leave it on for a minute, the screen divides into two equal parts, a white part and a grey part...
And the system is acting normal, it goes into sleep after 5mins as normal but the screen is the issue now....

What do you suggest I do? I sincerely pray it ain't a damaged screen...!

May be it's the screen. Just meet a good technician for assistance. I repaired mine with 15k , 15" is the size.

Bruce Lee a.k.a Twitter warlord, I wonder why sahara reporters were the first to info us of the bill instead of you?

Stupidity is when wailers rush to call PMB dictator for social media bill way no concern am yet are not saying any thing about PDP senators especially Bruce lee that kept mute while the bill passed through second reading. Sahara reporters broke the news about this bill first yet they see no good in them.

my Igbo people way never see bayelsa just carry this election for head. Na una hatred for PMB go kill una quick quick.
The politician way una dey burn Mb for no even send una.

Based on my previous encounter of a similar situation,

1)try powering it without battery (remove battery, plug charger and power on) if it works fine it might be battery fault.

2) You can also try removing the battery, hold down the power button for 60 secs or 2 minutes then put the battery back , plug charger and power on.

comos:
lets thank GOD for social media.
If not, they would have successfully rigged this election.

Baba if person do well commend am. Kudos to inec. The truth is that rigging election is very difficult since the introduction of card reader. Now election results are in thousands unlike the millions we hear in 2011 and 2007.
Finally, all naija politicians are the same whether APC or PDP cuz they are after their own interests

molibediumss:
I also want to confirm that they re collecting though I can't apply there due to relation policy....would help only those that can send their CV and cover letter to me before 12pm apply cos I should b in their head office around time

Peterokeke91@gmail.com

just sent mine. Thanks bro.

comparing their first 6 months as President would have being better.

But PDP is leading in the "execution" for now yet wailers are shouting.

Op na lie oh! that guy perform wonder. He built a flyover in asaba that not up to 20 cars ply daily.
He commissioned a street road that is similar to river naija when it rains.
Na only for asaba I see say govt fit build road without drainage and still have the gut to televise it on national TV.

I just wish someone with great knowledge of bayelsa politics will contribute his analysis of the way things might turn out to be. Na only liverless naive fellows just dey threaten war here and they never even step foot for bayelsa b4.

Op, na una type dey make senate ginger for that social media bill

Reading some people's comment makes me believe common sense is truly not common. God will feel so disappointed anytime he stares at a wailer's brain.

As for the top, climate change is responsible for the drying up of lake chad and this affects fishing and farming activities of the people in that region.

Like we all know, an idle mind is the devils workshop thus Musa and friends will prefer a quicker way to make money.
Boko or other means to work for them comes to rescue.
without .much stress

noble2faith:
The most annoying thing is dat these people always proclaim deirselves as the isrealites of Nigeria: they are God-chosen pple cos dey re frm d east. Yet, they commit the most heinous crimes like manufacturing and selling of sub-standard things that could cause damages to lives and properties, drugs smuggling, prostitution e.t.c. This baby factory stuff covers oda sins, namely:
1. Sexual immorality
2. Selling of babies
3. Murder (in some cases).

How could u do all dis things and yet u say u re God-chosen people!!! Rather be called gods-chosen pple. No wonder a guy once said Devil is an igbo man.

f**ktard! Delta state don turn to Igbo land abi? Thought you people said its part of old western region. Tribe or ethnicity has no link with crime and evil deeds

.

I thought I read on NL before that wike said he will pay all the outstanding debt from the scholarship. Naija politicians I hail oh!

Some of the people way dey comment here no get sense. Is it the job of efcc or judiciary to convict people?

Back then in Franco(Unn), we almost emptied a swimming pool when water no dey for more than one week.
