Are you talking about Jonathan who spent 6.6billion naira on independent celebration or who? you guys are blind because of the hatred you have for PMB,corruption is our number one problem,i dont even know the saint who is going to build the institution you are talking about when almost 98 percent of Nigerian citizen are corrupt

Don't be ridiculous bro...

1)Nigeria doesn't need any saint to build institutions or to restructure...

2)Whatever amount spent on any celebration is subject to NASS appropriation ...

3)Why does police still steal and vandals roam about and treasury still looted after Jonathan left

4)I believe you love Jonathan so much unlike me that hates buhari according to you, that you remembered how much he spent on celebration but forgot how much he saved us by stopping the unending story of fertilizer scam etc in Nigeria ...smh

Thank God I am from SE where my freedom is guaranteed... with NOBODY having to dictate to my conscience and deeds even as an adult irrespective of our political leanings...

azzima:
Sadly , you did not attempt to confront or attend to the veracity of the post. The question to be asked is "are there on going investigation about the $2.2 million illegal refund to Gavi by NOI "??the answer is a confirmed YES SS. Instead ,you are foaming in the mouth talking gibberish.

Since you aren't talking gibberish...Why not do a comparative analysis of cost benefit of consulting by lazard as against debt forgiveness secured?...Extend same favour to Gavi refund stating both sides of the story and cost/benefit implications to Nigeria...

Volksfuhrer:
Nobody is saying she didn't do some good. I could never have been a fan anyway if I hadn't seen some good in her. But she looked on as financial crimes were perpetrated under her watch. For instance, the NNPC issue clearly showed she wasn't on top of her job as finance minister! Or perhaps she knew about the whole affair but looked away. Whichever way you want to see it, she should have left GEJ's government to protect her integrity. Instead she became a politician and stayed.

..smh...What would she do in NNPC?

Do you know about the law setting up NNPC and its autonomy

What about other revenue agencies like FIRS?...

I hope you educate yourself about rules of administration of certain specialized agencies before insulting or castigating people...

Delete number 8 or prove it

Because we allow our sentiments via media and politicians to think for us, we refuse to do some critical thinking...APC hoodwinked lots of folk because they allowed APC to do the thinking for them for whatever myopic reason...

Nigeria as it is today is structured to fail...our problem like Op stated isn't necessarily in the faces in Nigeria as Buhari/APC lies always, but in the structure as Jonathan told us by insisting that we build strong institutions not strong individuals...Confab restructured Nigeria a little bit if report is implemented but buhari won't implement it because of his sectional mindset...

If our structure is right with appropriate institutions then most of the problems will melt away with nobody even lifting a finger against them...

texazzpete:
Nobody cares if it was the centenary celebration. Paying N50 million for 'calisthenics performance' and 350 million for 'Unity torch tour' is just plain crazy.

100 million for cultural dances and masquerades?!

Rubbish

what would the cost rather be? ...

dearpreye:
That was crazy, unjustifiable and a waste of gargantuan proportions. SMH!

Don't fall for Ngeneukwenu smart by half approach..

That was Nigeria's 50th/golden jubilee independence celebration... Maybe he would tomorrow compare it too to the centenary celebration too...

Check out expenditure as against cost in this reluctant budget of buhari smh...

Don't allow folks force you to compare your marriage introduction rites cost to someone else's wedding cost...they aren't same...

Dear Madam Beremx,

I just wanna sincerely apologise to you for some words I used on you in the past. I believe I crossed the very line of decency, morality and sanity notwithstanding whatever provocation I felt forced my outburst. I regret my action sincerely.

Kindly find a way to forgive me. I am sincerely sorry my dear.

Thanks and be blessed in your political convictions though not in sync with mine so far.

God bless us all...Good morning

modath:
Did you think before you posted?

GEJ came up with the TSA but didnt have the will to enforce it as usual....

Go and research, you know little, sorry.

Before you continue with insult...Jonathan approved tSA for relevant agencies and excused these listed here...Buhari and APC felt they knew better and wanted to counter him after noise in the media but today they are rescinding the decision meaning they were inept, confused and empty ab initio...with empty supporters too

Candyrain:
How many advisers did Buhari demand for again? Was it 15 or what? I want NASS to grant him his request asap so that he can at least have some people who can help him think. The lie by the Kastina State governor is really mind boggling, I believe if necessary checks and investigations were carried out the case of the Kastina State governor would have been avoided.

Bolded was approved immediately he made the request...but I am not sure he has attached faces to those number approved for him...

He needs men with good brains to succeed while he needs listening ear too ...

MizMyColi:
What this administration and it's teeming fanatical supporters will realize at the end of the day is that strong people don't build nations, strong institutions do.

They will also come to realize, that no human is infallible. They will realize that a lie, a big, fat, rotund one was packaged and sold to them.

Good Morning Whynohetruth
You have spoken the truth.
But, as always you can expect that those who are eternally allergic to anything remotely related to the truth will huff and puff.
They will beguile you and call you wailer.
But keep doing what you do.
Posterity never forgets.

Somedays, all I feel for the man Buhari...going by the wolves and cankerworms who surround him, is pity.
The Eldorado we desire as a people will not materialize in 4 or 8 years, but with deliberate planning and modalities, we can get there. I have made my peace with that.

Good morning too

@bolded...buhari was elevated as god by supporters and hence as religion demands, you don't question a god or you risk being termed whatever derogatory name adherents wanna use on you...Such is life today in Nigeria with buhari...

[s]Your article is laced with blackmail and prejudice. Maybe you should change your moniker to "WhyNotWail".[/s]

How can you fault the president's good intention simply because some elected governors have chosen to be irresponsible with their state finances. Maybe if you invest a portion of the energy you spend in screening & criticizing the president on your state governor, you might achieve better results.

For the records, States are Federating Units and have been empowered by the Constitution to have Fiscal Autonomy. The president does not have a say on how states spend their money. At best, he can use agencies like EFCC/ICPC to put them in check. You should also be informed that the CBN has setup a committee to monitor how governors disburse the bailout funds.

[s]Elections are over bro, it's time for Nation Building. Keep your smear campaign till atleast 2 years time[/s].

See below bro;

Notwithstanding that it is humane of president to intervene to save the poor masses but it is also sensible for President to ascertain the true picture of events before such intervention.

A proactive and responsible government should have before dispensing the funds asked some questions like;
1)Isn't there the risk of some governors especially those who mismanaged their allocations in the past during oil price peak repeating same with this bailout?

2)Didn't the president deem it fit to set up a committee to actually find out the exact state of finance in some of these states, to know if there are other causes outside
reduced allocation for these salary arrears accumulation?

3)Didn't the President feel it was important to know why states like Anambra are not indebted while others with similar fortune are? Because it is a pointer that something is definitely wrong with some indebted states outside the general crises of reduced allocation...

4)What is the possibility of dispensing bailout directly to beneficiaries account to avoid hoarding or diversion by state governors?

5)Aren't president encouraging corruption by not doing diligent and painstaking analysis of issues before pouring more water into a basket to hold?

6)Can some of these governors be trusted with loans that may keep their states indebted for the next 20years? Such that a baby born into such states today already has
a future encumbered with debts

.

btw My state is doing just fine bro...We are Light of the Nation

If you say CBN has monitoring committee on fund usage and at same time say federal government can't control states, aren't you contradicting yourself

Realities on ground show there's nothing like control or monitoring or whatsoever... It is as if they were just dashed extra cash to mismanage...

Would any responsible government that claims to fight corruption and fiscal irresponsibility be seen doing this

Quit seeing an enemy in your critic

Good morning

Same to you bro

It is a fact that life is about choices. These choices are bound to make or mar us. Positive choices involves or passes through processes as constructive reasoning, planning, implementation, supervision and finally feedback/evaluation. All positive choices are supposed to pass sustainable development test. Sustainable development involves harnessing and enjoying the resources available to us without jeopardizing the availability of same comfort for tomorrow generations.

Buhari/APC rode to power using high powered propaganda and now wants to sustain these with such populist policies that play to sentiments but may have far more devastating effect in the long run; a case of a painted sepulchre. President Buhari on being declared winner at the polls had his party(APC) governors led by ROchas Okorocha approach him for bailout from backlog of salaries in some states. Notwithstanding that it is humane of president to intervene to save the poor masses but it is also sensible for President to ascertain the true picture of events before such intervention. But because President Buhari and his party seemed bent on hoodwinking the populace by whatever means, they jumped into the program without necessary foundation or did they verify the true picture of events in such vulnerable states.

[b]A proactive and responsible government should have before dispensing the funds asked some questions like;

1)Isn't there the risk of some governors especially those who mismanaged their allocations in the past during oil price peak repeating same with this bailout?

2)Didn't the president deem it fit to set up a committee to actually find out the exact state of finance in some of these states, to know if there are other causes outside

3)Didn't the President feel it was important to know why states like Anambra are not indebted while others with similar fortune are? Because it is a pointer that something is definitely wrong with some indebted states outside the general crises of reduced allocation...

6)Can some of these governors be trusted with loans that may keep their states indebted for the next 20years? Such that a baby born into such states today already has a future encumbered with debts[/b]

It is this ineptitude and uninformed decision of President Buhari in not doing the needful that has fed such confusion as we now experience today. Examples abound;

[b]Imo state governor(Rochas Okorocha) is being accused of diverting a whooping N9billion from the bailout fund to build cottage industries in LGA. Buhari may care to ask him what happened to such other projects as his new general hospitals in LGAs.

Osun state governor(Aregbesola) is accused of diverting some percentage and fixing a part of it as tenured fund. Buhari may want to know about his airport project, opon imo, over-inflated road contracts etc

Kastina state governor is accused of lying to obtain such loan, as his state isn't having salary backlog; which is the sole aim of the bailout fund.

Edo state few weeks after having $75million world bank loan, is granted more bailout funds to engage in profligacy and wasteful spending.

And so many other complaints. One is then forced to ask; Are we going to see more of these hasty decisions under Buhari that will leave us with burnt fingers always? Isn't it also corruption to approve such populist policies with selfish intent to hype your credentials notwithstanding the consequences on tomorrow generations? When will President Buhari start assessing the pros & cons of decisions before implementation[/b]?

Watch this change Nigerians...

God bless us all.

Your words are too far, it pains me that u can't reason, did you think we don't have future? No, we just happen to have bad leaders, but then, that doesn't mean they will rule forever, time will tell.

Secondly, u said we instituted Sharia? We did not, Islam does, a family, a religion to which I'm born in, I love it and that doesn't mean I'll disrespect others religions or choices, u need to learn more ways of living with people.

I feel your pain...but how come since independence that you people rarely votes the right leader...Why are you so intolerant to anything anti-north?...APC is a big scam by desperate power mongers & BIG thieves including the deceitful buhari As you're crying here, soon reports would emerge about events in other APC states that are collapsing...Osun, Oyo, Ogun are almost dead...Kebbi elected the brain behind Abacha looting as governor...

Tomorrow seems too far for most states...

It seems 4play's forecast is coming earlier than I thought And we have no economic team to formulate fiscal policies to assist monetary policies of CBN ...

Just go to bush corner you will see her doing reconnaissance for a moniker to burst again That's her hobby and that's where she spends her time
