ndu_chucks: This kneejerk reaction smacks of nothing short of irresponsibility and incompetence. Where were the plans for dams a priori? I suspect this is another opportunity to raise N1billion towards 2015 elections. Nonsense.

My broda natural disasters have no time table,at least something will be done to prevent future occurence.

What are u trying to gain from this useless thread?

garri_gangster: Maybe GEJ is responsible for the mess

So na GEJ go look for women for Dino Melaye abi,u better wake up from your slumber,Dino is just a player and nemesis is catching up with him,and his accomplice el rufai is supporting evil,hmmmmm ok na.

ndu_chucks: I am convinced that either you people are iliterates or mischievous. How did you reach the conclusion the El Rufai supports Dino's scandalous lifestyle or that a scandalous lifestyle exists in the first place?

His comments suggests so,if he is a true friend,he should t ell his friend the truth and advise him appropriately not supporting his antics.

Who is Mo Ibrahim,and what has he done for Africa?

Elueme: El Rufai was and is even more ruthless than Dino Melaye so I am not surprised at this.. We are aware of his corner girlfriend who got 10 million naira gift and how about the land he confiscated from poor Nigerians and they were given out as charity to some of his concubines... Forget matter. Behind every rumors come some elements of truth

No wonder,I could vividly remember that story on the dailies,that he paid a female youth corp member Aisha allowances more than directors in the FCT ministry running into millions of Naira,why won't he support his friend Dino Melaye,when they criticise other people it's normal but their own is politically motivated,they are bad models to the society,Dino Melate should make a statement and clear his name of these controversies,cos his activism is only for women.

The NASS has its own hidden agenda for advocating $80 per barrel,I think the finance minister understands the terrain very well why not allow her to do her job.....

Demdem:

u are just making a fool of ursef. ok one question:
East west road is presently under construction and cant be finished this year, how much has Govt budgeted for this road in question next fiscal year as stated from the retardeen's speech?

Infact what specific projects did he say his govt will embark on.
My friend the specifics and exact figures that are being proposed to be given to all ministries, departments, parastatals, agencies etc were not in the President's speech but will be given to NASS. This figures NASS will work on and ask these agencies to come to their various committees to defend.

Bush man can't you that there is a marginal increase in the 2013 capital expenditure,you are just a blind pessimist who see nothing good in life,can't u be hopeful for ones,I just pity your wife.....

Instead of the National Assembly to sanitize itself,they are busy complaining that they are robots,why won't when the likes of Farouk Lawan have dented ur image and is still keeping cool in the house...this is indeed sad.

Demdem:

U are obviously ignorant. What the Retardeen read was basically the Highlights of the full budget while the full details will be given to the NASS stipulating where and what money will be going and spent on. Nothing is wrong in renovating Aso Rock, the issue here is at what cost?

this is fictitious and totally untrue, always wonder where u get ur fake and counter stories from,Sahara Reporters must be tired by now.

See kettle calling pot black,you don't finish ur case with EFCC?sorry sir you are also a failed leader......

Omo_Tier1:
Stop deceiving yourself. Budgeting is never Nigeria's problem. IMPLEMENTATION. .simples. The present government led by GEJ does not have the capacity to implement budgets and is a governmrnt of rogues and paddy paddy chop I chop rob belle awuf government. How do expect a Trainee President to be able to implement a technical budget?

The National Assembly is just angry because monies are not released to them they way want,u think they are ranting for nothing?all ways for Ghana must go are blocked what do you expect?

afam4eva:
This labaran Maku guy's mouth runs like a newly commisioned tap in a rural area. I expect him to apologize that he's known for after talking before thinking.

he has winced apologized.,the National Assembly has its different grieves only the wise can discern that...

This is the most useless thread I have ever seen,we were all witnesses to the budget presentation at no did we hear anything like this,this is false and unfounded,come to think of it,if the Aso villa is renovated what's the big deal?

I just wish that we will start appreciating good things like this,if we don't see the sides of life we will be eluded by negativity...this is a worthwhile programmme.

It's so pathetic that we have a society that eroding by the day,a society where morally bankrupt people are celebrated and defended of their shameless acts,permit me to add that the United States of America inspite of its freedom and moral laxity,public officials life are taken seriously and politicians who are dirty are always taken to the cleaners.I could remember vividly a few years ago where the mayor of New York resigned because he cheated on his wife,the Monica Lewinsky saga almost cost President Bill Clinton's job,but here we are,people like Dino Melaye who are suppose to be example to many are busy mishaving,this stories that are coming up these days against him are quite disturbing, i want to assure u that there is no smoke without fire,I saw his bro Inlaw's comments on twitter abt him Dino cheating on his sister,it may personal and private but yet is an indictment of Dino Melaye who claims to be an activist,until Dino Melaye comes out and clear all these allegations his credibility is gone and gone forever,the next time he will talk again no one will take him serious becos he has issues.Lets all keep our fingers crossed

The truth of the matter is that the name of Aluu community has been dented former,we must be careful with our comments those found guilty should face the wrath of the law,let us suggest the carriage of another jungle justice,if not we will be as wicked as they are.

Very close,at the niche of time,all the commanders will be gone,well done JTF...

This man is not serious oh,for God sake look at his beautiful family,so cute and lovely yet, he is cheating on this pretty woman and even denying the pregnancy I have always known that this man Dino is a big scam who talks abt people while he has so many skeleton inside his cupboard....shame on U Dino,you are a traitor.

Walahi...we want our land not any administering,Bakassi is our land,let the people be allow to choose their destiny...

This is really sad,they prepetrators must be brought to book....

A group, the Light and Oneness for Good Leadership Association, has asked Boko Haram, an Islamic sect, to shun violence; and respect the right to life of every Nigerian.

It said the right to life of every citizen of the country was inalienable as contained in the country’s constitution.

Founder of the group, Imowo Andrew, who said this in Uyo on Thursday, averred that respect for people’s right to life and peace were vital tools for the development of the country.

He stated that if respect for man’s right to life was lacking, development, which requires peace, would also be lacking.

He stated that there were certain things one should not tackle with force, adding that when individuals and organisations were urging President Goodluck Jonathan to use force to end the activities of the sect; the President knew such efforts could degenerate into something else.

He said, “Through the President’s patience, he has shown Nigerians and the world that we are not at war; that Nigeria is going through a phase in her history and it will soon overcome it. We need to understand the President, we need to support him.

“He is the only President I have seen that understands the problem of this country. Ranging from his agricultural policy to power sector, one can see that he is really serious about tackling the problem of this country.” On whether the President would seek a second term in office, Andrew said the Jonathan had the right like any other Nigerian to seek re-election.

Demdem:

They want to but the resources needed to achieve such (e.g Police) isnt in their hands. why should they be blamed when they are not even empowered to have their security forces. Infact they should be praised for even buy gadgets and vehicles for the police. thats FG responsibility not even states or LG. By the way, our democracy is already a unitary form of democracy IMO

The 1999 constitution speculates how power is shared amongst the three tiers of govt,and Nigeria being a federating state is operating a presidential system which is Not GEJ's fault,the point is that,must FG do everything if I may understand this thread,but because people like you are full of deep hatred for GEJ you are busy bringing emotions into the whole issues,what are the governors doing with the allocation given to them?lets talk abt issues not sentiments.

Demdem:

Which of them is speculation? Are u insinuating that the budgetary allocation for feeding in any of the government house in this country far over weigh that of the presidency? Abegii which state is that? Am interested in such a state.

Look, the governors are simply following the footsteps of the FG. The masses are helpless

I am saying that you are feeding on false information from Sahara reporters abi

superior1: [size=20pt]40 Lappies, I hail oo!!![/size]

Bushman, so somebody can't commend goods things again!what is 40 man laptop? Is it a cartoon?

Demdem:

No one is saying that the governors are innocent. I am not saying that. However the governors are basically following the footsteps of the FG. Th biggest fraud in our country today is FG followed by the federating states and it will remain like that until the head is clean.

If my president feeds on 1 Billion naira for each financial year, why should it be wrong if each of the federating governors feeds on 500Million naira yearly

But u show me a governor that will feed on more than 20Million naira in a financial year if my presidents feeds on such amount. Its not possible.
The change we desire will come from the top and until the top realizes that it will start from them, we are just deceiving ourselves.
Most of the governors are frauds and its because the head itself is a fraud and thats why the head cant caution them.

These are just mere speculations.....

Frank-C:
I have asked the greatest noisemakers on this forum what the feeding budget (their favorite line) of President Obama, former President OBJ, Late President Yar'Adua,and even Gov Fashola is. I don't even know the feeding budget of my state governor or my local government chairman.

I am a firm supporter of President Jonathan's anti-corruption strategy which is a silver bullet- transparency in government. We know more about what goes on in government now, we have a President whose ability to isolate his ego while leading is legendary.

This guy is so powerful that he can bring down all the opposition channels, including replacing Tambuwal and the opposition parties and media houses but he rather chose to defend their right to insult him. They call him clueless but his methods are deep and engaging. He understands his powers as the president but uses them rarely and for the right purposes. He believes more in being loved that being feared. In democratic credentials, President Jonathan has an A and this trickles down in his government approach to every other issue. Look at N5000 note, Bakassi, Budget presentation to NASS issues.

We are used to jungle justice but unfortunately, OBJ style did not work and we have a democratic President who believes that ONLY the law court can sentence someone to prison. President Jonathan is building one of the strongest and best democratic models and this should be appreciated.

As i will advice the political scavengers who believe that GEJ must go down for them to rise, this President have equipped all of us with the ability to ask government questions. They should allow this to percolate and not take it to mean a license to insult their country and President.

This is truly a frank talk,I just wish some who see the GEJ's gentle approach to issues as a sign of weakness will wake up from their slumber and realize that he is the best thing that has happen to us in terms of leadership for years.

Demdem:

Bullshit. why should they be held responsible when they are not in charge of any security outfit whatsoever. ordinarily police, they dont. The one in charge should be held responsible not them. Thats a fact.

I thought we are talking about performance in all facets?i know you are looking for someone to blame.....but the truth of the matter is that our governors are to be blamed cos they are more closer to the people.

Walahi I see hope under this govt,things will surely get better....

Walahi I will bote for if commot again....
