This is how opposition should play politics not the politics of voilence the APCs did. I'm not a member of any political party, but the way APC played the role of the opposition shows they were immature for the game. They criticize every decision and policies of the govt in power whether good or bad without telling Nigerians the solutions... I just remember the protest about the removal of oil subsidy and also organising different protest to distract the then govt interms of the increase in the exchange rate of dollar to naira, the bring back our girls campaign. It has suddenly gone down the drain, even if It was part of PMB seeling point during the campaign. I just imagine if the 150 Nigerian Army missing were in the time of GEJ!

APC are immature in this game of politics. I commend PMB for this 2016 budget, I pray It will be well implemented... I appreciate you sir, BEN BRUCE!

Godbless Nigeria!

He is aware of the bolded already, he is just being mischievous and wanted to remain stiffnecked reprobate. He is aware of their atrocities and yet was campaigning for them just because he was denied of protection. He even confessed on one of his thread that he is disappointed in Ogogoro drinking Jonathan..

Black man mentality - You don't give them food they don't sing for you. smh

Who are the PDPs of then, are the key politicians in APC new politicians...? I see, anybody who becomes an APC member automatically becomes a saint!

Use your tongue to count your teeth bro...!

Good question...
1. By empowering and ensuring a good platform for revenue collector.
2. Making necessary policies that will attract foreign investors and their must be seriousness from govt too
3. Blocking of loopholes of ensuring proper utilisation of allocation to all MDAs
4. Promote indegenalization of our production and encourage export.
Am not an economist ooo

This is nothing but grammer... All this you just mentioned are not realistical. They're not something that can generate money for the servicing of debt

kennydee05:
That's the exact direction we are looking at, an that is well taken care of in the budget. We are diversifying and move from reliance on unpredictable price of crude oil.

Diversifying the economy and developing the economy are two different words. Diversifying the economy is to invest and not looking for profit now. So, while waiting for the result the diversifying economy will bring, how do we service the debt?

DikSin:
He didn't conceived the idea... Someone else does, get it?

Do you even know the duties of a leader... So who concieved the so-called idea now?

DikSin:
Gej won't think of this... Useless drunkard

But he thought of BVN and Permanent Voter Card... Who is now the drunkard here?

Kokoaiye:
This is pretty disgusting! We have not forgotten that TINUBU and CHRONIES financed the protest against past government over subsidy payment based on the then idea that SUBSIDY was a SHAM.

Sincerely speaking I think we nigerians need a honest public press release on this issue for proper clarifications on WHAT IS SUBSIDY in the oil context? Does it not exist? If yes then who are those ripping us off financially as a nation? Does it exist as claimed by past administration? How MUCH of it was financed by past govt? Were the payment made to the genuine marketers? What is the range of the landing cost of fuel? What are the parameters that can cause disparity in landing cost that's if there is? Is there gonna be any removal? To what extent? Why? Why is removal better as oppose to its payment?

All this questions and many more are profusingly spewed out by many Nigerians.As a responsible govt,there is need for them to be placed in the corridors of answer as a way to bring succor to Nigerians who have sacrificed time and invest hopes and votes to usher in this new government.

Ultimately,Mr LIE MOHAMMED should please utilise TAXPAYERS money in answering this aforestated questions and not to provide ridiculous and redundant VINDICATIONS for there failure evident on the lingering FUEL SHORTAGE that has further wreak disaster on the already FRAGILE economy of the nation.

How do you want him to answer such technical question now. All these questions should have been during the public/media debate but APC refused to show up

GEJ took fuel price to #97 but APC protested, then he later went back to d drawing board and then reduce the price to #87. Hope you're aware that the official fuel price in nigeria is #97. This govt is a scam

Government in each term wants technological innovation and outrightly looks down on graduate from the polytechnics who went through school for 5 good year. Is this not an irony!

And they said GEJ did nothing when he was in power...! God is indeed watching. Thank God for the international community!

Demmocrats:
Its good to appreciate those that sacrificed a lot to get you to power, the actors and musicians did a lot and my Sai Buhari is grateful about there efforts.



What about he other musicians that was passing fake news that when my Sai Buhari gets to power that he will turn this country into Muslim country.


We need to give my Sai Buhari time, people keeps on criticizing him to the point that they said he doesn't support young talents but since he got to power Nigeria retained there under 17 world championship and now for the first time win the African U23 championship for the first time. I know its not by his effort but i think his making nice changes in the sports department.


Sai Buhari

One more thing left, you forgot to tell us how much was paid to the youngsters who took the under 17 champiomship!

As a lady, what have you acquired even at this your present age? If atleast you have a car but you're not married, you're wrong!

Where dis put Owo soup and Banga soup... Are you a learner, abeg meet google for exposure!

Hailings to all the Itsekiris, Urhobos, Isokos, Ijaws and the entire Deltians for their wonderful delicacies

I don't really know the provision of the Nigerian constitution that gives this fulani herdmen right to carry weapons all around. Presently, they have upgraded to carrying of guns

Because if this weapons they parade, they are not always afraid even in your own community... They are ever ready to use those weapons... This calls for an urgent redress

Godbless Nigeria!

Do some research... See what GEJ meant as infrastructure in the power sector and compare It with what he left behind

The problem about some Nigerians is that they don't read, they just ponders on propagandas. GEJ was the true definition of Power Transformation...

Some years back, I embarked on a mandated (Mandated by my institution) research on "Epileptic Power Supply In Nigeria," you will be shocked and indeed call GEJ a hero. For the past 38yrs, Nigeria as a country don't even have a single power system road map whether for short term, medium and long term respectively

You can also get some of this facts yourself by making good use of the internet...

Godbless Nigeria!

There av been so many rejections at ogun state.. both schools,firms are just rejecting corp members anyhow in ogun state..

Lalasticlala

Ogun state is even worst as corp members are rejected in mass... In the state capital, govt agencies, private organisation only accept corp member on the ground that "no accomodatiom and no allowance..."

Corp members are no longer given their due respect anymore

If you have problem in french, mth 101 and any other mth, then try Thermo-dynamics, circuit theory, soil mechnics, Electical machines, power system engineering, even the engineering drawing...

Proud to be an engineer!

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was the only Nigerian President that fought corruption heavily without necessarily making noise on the front pages of the newspaper... Talking about the menace from the banks that saw the likes of intercontiental bank, oceanic bank and the rest merged and sold respectively. The case of The Permanent Voters Card (PVC) was another way he used in fighting corruption in the voting system. GEJ bought about the Federation Single Account that Buhari is now taking the praise and even the BVN...

During the media chat of GEJ, said that "Stealing is not corruption..." and the whole country and the so-called Prof. Osibanjo SAN criticized him instead of telling Nigerians the truth, saw It as a cheap point to campaign aganist him. GEJ said "Probing is different from jailing..." he said this after several consultations, and thus was ready to see how those short comings be looked into which was as a result of the constitution, while speaking that "his tenure did lot of probing even more than any president ever but the judiciary lacks the will power to prosecute those cases

Corruption is a very broad word. You cannot jail somebody because he's corrupt but you can jail someone because he/she took bribe. This is why you hear people saying "bribrey and corruption", and there implies that the two words are not dsame. If a person is convicted what he/she is convicted on should have a 'define name' and not corruption. This word called corruption is d reason while our
politicians and heads of different parastater go scot free. Misappropriation of funds should be called stealing and not corruption which has no base... these were the words of GEJ during the 2015 general election

Godbless Nigeria

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan have been vindicated

There is nothing like respecting your host for the yorubas in kogi.

Just so you know, kogi is made up of 3 major ethnic groups which are the igalas, the ebira and the okuns (The yoruba speaking group).

Hence , what qualifies the igala man , qualifies the okun I.e yoruba. to aspire to be the Governor of t he state.

We are talking about leadership and good governance here... This is not a tribalistic role, It's a call for service, if this statement is right, then why coming up with the Igalas, Okuns and the rest. How do we even grow or develop into a state we all dreamt of if this tribalistic altitude is seen in us?

You just mention about 3 major tribes in Kogi state, that implies that there are minor tribes too... So what happens if someone that is very and has the mantle to deliver comes from the So called minority? I just imagin if Obama was to contest an election here in Nigeria knowing fully well his father was from Kenya!

Tribe don't rule... We all should communicate Peace, Love and Oneness if we must live the Nigeria of our dream

Godbless Nigeria!

Rumpelstiltskin:
Northerners are wiser than all the Southerners put together. When one of them gets to a position of authority, he helps as many of his people as possible. Gradually, they will fill up the organisation and dominate every department. But if na Southerner especially Yoruba man, na story e go dey tell you till him tenure expire. I have benefitted more from Northerners than from a Yoruba man.

Is that how a nation is supposed to be govern? We are Nigerians and regionians... If we must live together as one as we proclaim, our diversity suppose to be our strength even in the appointment of key leaders and official

The northerners help their own or better still gives reference to their own does not mean It's right since we are one Nigeria

kosiebe:
PDP should go and sit one place, make God punish them wel wel..who dem help? as far i'm concern PDP is a goner,, i'm waiting for fayose to talk him own. agbero ppl

I expected you to first speak as a Nigerian... This is not about playing politics, PDP or Fayose, It's about the well-being of the nation...

A fresh poll would have been the best option while the law awaits review. In this case, no one would feel cheated because It also give the parties a level playing ground. What if the person that died is from Labour Party or other unknown political parties?

midep:
Olisa Metuh get a brain and make use of your senses. Individual name is not recognise by law during an Election but the Party hence the need for the substitution of Audu Abubakar name.

Olodo Agbaya. ....

So, do you think the newly appointed candidate for the supplementary election would have been able to withstand Wada, let alone defeating him assuming he won the APC primary election from the on-set?

This is purely engineering and not politics. During the campaign era, I was part of those that faulted Buhari's policies on power. His policies were not realistical and lacks logic from the engineering point of view.

Before one come up with any policy, he/she must first look at the possible factors that might hamper or promote the generation oof energy but this man was the opposite.

Nigerian really needs true transformation and not change... Jonathan and the then minister for power at each point always spoke the truth and also keep Nigerians abreast with the realities on ground when It comes to power generation... but the then opposition always come in with all sort of propagandas and mis-information showing Nigerians the weakness of the president and not acknowledging the strength...

Nigerians voted for change at the expense of transformation

Hi Nairalanders, I'm a lady of 22yrs, born 21st April 1993. I gained admission into the university at the age of 17, due to frequent strikes, I'm about spending 5yrs in the university ready a 4yrs course. I also had issues in school which led to an extra year of which I'm currently try na clear, the truth is, I didn't get an extra year because I didn't read. Our school went on a five months strike as soon as my set graduated. I traveled to lagos to learn a skill( Pattern Making and design ) I'm done now. I was engrossed in the fashion and design course that I couldn't come back to clear my name. My exam script was misplaced and now I'm rewriting the course, but it isn't a big deal tho.
Now, I'm thinking so deep, contemplating if I should go for service immediately I clear my paper or go directly for my masters before coming back to serve. I don't know if that would be possible.
Please I need anyone who is well learned to help me out. God bless you.

Presently, one cannot run a PGD without his/her NYSC discharged certificate again. It's now a major requirement to studing further

if you eliminate anyone na prison be your house, the totality of the election is what is inconclusive but the results of other areas have being announced and it cannot be cancelled,Audu and Faleke won in those areas.

One can only go to jail when the killer of the aspirant is known... What about a suituation where the killer is not caught in the act?

This issue is a very sensitive one and used be treated as such

This issue is a very sensitive one and used be treated as sure!

Owerri-base Legal Practitioner, Barr Stanley Chukwu, said: ”The present situation arising from the death of Audu, the APC gubernatorial candidate in Kogi has created an unprecedented situation
not envisaged in the 1999 Constitution of the Federation as Amended. While Section 181 of the
Constitution envisaged a situation where if a Governor elect dies before taking oath of office his
deputy is to take over. Subsection 2 of section 181 provides that where both the Governor elect
and his deputy die before taking oath of office, that there will be a flesh election.

”The Kogi situation is that the Gubernatorial candidate died at a time election has not been
concluded and supplementary election is to be conducted so that a winner would be declared. In
this scenario, APC no longer have a gubernatorial candidate for the supplementary election. In
fact, supplementary election would be a waste of time. Audu’s running mate cannot step into his
shoe. There is no provision in the Electoral Act or the Constitution that assigned any role to a
running mate upon the demise of the Gubernatorial candidate before declaration of winner. The
only option is for an a flesh election to be conducted in which APC will field a candidate. Again,
this is one scenario which our law fail to envisage and there is now the need to take care of it in
future constitutional amendment.

”The argument that it is the party that stands for election will not fly when you analogically
consider section 181(2). of the Constitution which orders for fresh election where both the
Governor Elect and Deputy Governor elects die before taking oath of office. If the Constitution
recognises the party above the candidate, it would have simply required the Party to field a new
Governor-elect and Deputy Governor elect but instead, the Constitution required a new election.
So in this case, since Audu has not been declared, his running mate can only be seen and not
reckoned with. The only option now is conducting a fresh election.”

This is the best option otherwise, some intending deputies can take advantage on this to eliminate the suppose party flag bearer knowing fully the benefit awaiting them!

The living writes the lies of history... This woman have really suffered from alot of accusations. we should not rush Into conclusions inorder not to regret our actions and behaviours. She will be of good help to us alive than dead. We should learn to be patient to hear from the accused. I still ask these questions how can One person steal billions of dollars and Nigerian Government cant find Concrete Evidence on how the Money was stolen and moved unless the person have the backing of higher powers. If so Why is she made to suffer alone. What about the wistle blower who made such allegations. We have heard of the American whistle blower whom accused the united state of stealing private datas and he has proved it and was exiled for telling the truth . Why is Nigerian whistle blower different. instead of coming forward with prof he is busy enjoying the luxury o Emer Ship. A country were all corrupt politicians are ruling. I did not steal Nigerian Money. That is what She said but The Government have not come forward to tell us she stole the country's money. Get well soon Madam.

It's only in Nigeria a citizen like Sanusi accused the FG of missing $20billion and later reduced It to $10billion before It came down to $1billion naira... Up till now, Sanusi never tender an apology for mis-informing the nation and also rubbishing the office of the presidency...

Oshiomole never tendered an apology when he accused Okonji-Iweala. When will all these propaganda stop, when are we going to speak first as a Nigerian before any political affiliation...?

This woman just said she left the sum of $5.6b in the NLNG aacount and Nigerians were told $1b... If really she's right... My question is, can Nigeria as a country be trusted in the hands of the APCs if the truth can't be told for the purpose of scoring cheap political point?

Godbless Nigeria!

The Areas Buhari Has Covered According the Economist Include:

1. Boko Haram, an insurgent Islamist group, has been weakened during Mr Buhari’s half-year at the helm (though bombs this week killed 43 people),

2. Power supplies are somewhat more reliable.

3. A bigger budget has been outlined for 2016, though it is unclear how it will be financed, and recurrent spending will be pared back.

4. More heartening is the president’s crusade against corruption.
Staff have been fired from the state oil company and customs department. Officials are tackling smuggling along leaky borders.

5. To reduce fraud, an opaque network of government bank accounts has been replaced by a centralised system.

5. Several politicians, including the president of the Senate, a former oil minister and an ex-national security adviser, are under investigation.


6 .Meanwhile, biometric registration at banks should expose more money laundered by civil servants and their stooges. High-rollers are on their best behaviour. Lamudi, a property company, reports a slowdown in expensive sales, partly explained by the fact that the rich would rather not be seen splurging.


With Muhammadu Nnamdi Buhari As Our President , Nigeria Is Now On The Wheel To Greatness!

[size=14pt]Please Take A Bow Sir![/size]

Even as much as President Buhari is hailed for those achievement listed above, It's high time Nigerians knew that they were the policies and handiwork of the former administration

As for the security issue, boko haram has be spotted to be the deadiest even ahead of ISIS... Fuel price have increased, about 150 soldiers captured by BH... So while the praise, where is the significant achievement for more than 6 months now?

Most APC governors are thrash... they cover there own and exposes others weaknesses.

Welcome to Edo state where the state roads are better imagine than real!

Since wednesday october 28 2015 the batch b stream 1 prospective corp members are to resume to their various camp of deployment till now, there have been so many news emanating from different camps in the country.
Of course ogun state camp which is located at ikenne/sagamu ogun state which is usually called "the five star camp" aint left behind...
For the past few days there have been lots of activities going on in the camp.. the swearing in of the corp members,issual of camp kits,drills,match training,band activities etc are all fun.. but recently it has been gathered that 8 corp members have been currently decamped as result of being caught in sexual activities at the mami market which os usually a place in the camp where other activities like eating.drinking etc goes on..

Out of the 8 eight corp members decamped,i.e 4 females and 4 males caught by the camp soldiers at the late hours of the night in suspected areas.. it was gathered that one of the girls was a married woman,who happens to use her husbands name as next of kin during registeration.. all of the victims was decamped on monday...

This is actually true cos I'm also in that same camp as a corp member.
