from 6tr naira budget of expected revenue were reduce to less than 80% collected revenue, which is about 4tr naira
and with that little revenue, more than 2tr were use to settle past debt like contractors and subsidy claims.
the remaining 2tr for capital and recurrent expendition,
So how we that have effect on the masses?

Where are your facts to support your claims?

Omonigeriarere:
And how has the previous administration managed the surplus well if I may ask?

Are refineries working?
Was FG not borrowing to pay FG workers?
Had over 29 states not been able to pay salaries?
Are equipment in our hospitals up to date?
What about our airport?
Did reserve increase?
Why 11 month old strike in Universities(longest in history)
Are our Universities upgraded before creating new ones?
What about diversification of Economy?
Why privatising power and what are the results?


A government that cannot manage surplus cannot manage scarcity: get it right.

I didnt realise that we are still in the campaign period.
Hello,
People voted for a different thing, not business as usual. Let's face the fact when the other government was there things were not right, people wanted something better, but what we have now is far worse, we don't need Bloom berg to come and explains to us that there is inflation, it's too much, people are suffering, remove sentiment and face it.
Prices in the normal everyday market shows the increased hardship .in th country now, you don't need an economic analyst to tell you that things are hard now, let's put our party affiliation aside and talk like Nigerians, with the less money from importation of fuel, this government increased budget by 50% ( from about 4 trillion to over 6 trillion), where is the effect??

PassingShot:
You're lacking in basic economic principles to understand how currencies value is determined.

If not, you'd know and understand that Nigerian Naira was already dead and buried by GEJ and his fellow thieves before PMB came.

If not for PMB, many of you would have actually died of hunger. A simple reference is the fact that 29 states were owing their workers for several months before PMB came. It was PMB who had to provide bail-out funds for those states to save the workers and their dependants from hunger that could have sent them to their early death.

What are you saying?
Can you just be factual for once and Base your argument on the reality on ground?
Everything is very expensive.... the only economic term that fits the situation of Nigeria now is Inflation.
Too much instability....... maybe u re one of the very rich folks..... for a normal Nigerian, all we care about are our daily needs first, don't come and be telling us about economic brouhaha.... History is a witness that this is the worst of all the country has seen.
Borrowing everywhere with no effect on the common man..... Last year budget saw an increase of about 2 trillion naira compared to our highest before this administration, but can u point out what was done to show the effect of that increased budget?
Nigeria is in a mess, we all need to agree and accept it and tell this people the truth.
We are not zombies.
Please, u can hold up till things get better before u make any other comments, cos I respect your optimism, but people are hungry NOW!!!!!

@OP.... Just curious
If Obiano is constructing 111 roads at once, which roads did "Great" Peter Obi now construct during his own tenure?

If the church is doing the little things they're supposed to do nobody would bother about the tithes or whatever donations they collect. Google willow creek to see what the church is supposed to be about. Willow creek was established in the USA by a church to cater to the needs of the poor people.

.. and are u the one to tell the church what to do or the bible and the holy spirit??. You people will keep missing it when you try to explain the things of God with your own Human limited knowledge and understanding.
The leader of the church carries the instructions from God, if the instructions is to set up a foundation, they will, if it's to spread churches, they will........ Let's be careful about talking about things of God and men of God.

The fact that a way make sense to us as men doesn't mean that what God wants.... if you are confused, ask God in prayer if Redeem is doing the wrong things or not... then, come and tell us the answer God gave you.
Thanks.

The former minister also condemned the inability of the state government to take up the responsibility of protecting it people.


Former minister Femi Fani-Kayode has said that the continued killing in Southern part of Kaduna state is a shameful legacy
"Not a single soul has been prosecuted, let alone jailed for the genocide in Southern Kaduna and you are blaming someone for preaching self defense? You are INSANE. Yes, INSANE"- Olufemi Korode, Twitter, 24th January 2017.

Can anyone dispute the fact that Mr. Korode is right? Are those that say that Christians should not defend themselves or complain when they are being killed not completely insane?

The truth is that had it not been for the fact that eight more innocent and defenceless people were butchered by Fulani militants in Samaru Kataf, Southern Kaduna on 17th January, that six young students of the College of Education, Gidan Waya, Southern Kaduna were massacred on 23rd January and that twenty innocent souls, including women and children, were killed by the same pack of beastly savages in the village of Ohimini in Benue state on that same day I may not have written this piece.

Yet I am constrained to do so because the animals in human flesh and Islamist demons that are on the rampage in Kaduna state and indeed all over the country have not satisfied their lust for Christian blood and their carnage persists. As a matter of fact the cancer is spreading.

When you add the thirty four that were murdered in the last few days to the 808 innocent souls that were killed by the same creatures on Christmas eve and Christmas day you cannot come to any other conclusion than the fact that this is genocide and that it is time to resist it.

Unfortunately some do not wish to hear that. They would prefer the people of Southern Kaduna to continue to be the sacrificial lambs that they have always been. Permit me to share just one example of their mindset here.

In reaction to the suggestion that the people of Southern Kaduna ought to defend themselves from mass murder and genocide given the fact that the state government has refused to protect them, Mallam Uba Sani, a four foot dwarf and the political advisor to Kaduna state's diminutive Midget-in-Chief, Governor Nasir El Rufai, wrote the following in Thisday and a number of other newspapers:''The greatest challenge to peace in Kaduna state now is the antics of political jobbers and opportunists who have gone as low as spreading hate speeches; telling communities in Kaduna State to “defend themselves.”

This, of course, is an unmistakable call on the people of Kaduna state to procure arms and ammunition and start killing themselves. This is not just very low but extremely dangerous. This call on the citizenry to take the laws into their own hands totally undermines all on-going efforts to achieve lasting peace in Kaduna state.''

These are strong words from the dwarf who appears to be expressing the frustration, angst and cold rage of his employer, the Chief Midget.

Instead of showing remorse for their woeful failures and begging for forgiveness for the oceans of innocent blood that has been shed under their watch, the government of Kaduna state is lashing out at those of us that have called them out and that are deeply concerned about the annihilation and decimation of human life and sheer carnage that is taking place in Southern Kaduna.

The dwarf pours scorn on the suggestion that a man should protect his family, loved ones and home from cold-blooded murderers who are attempting to maim and kill them.

He is suggesting that the people of Southern Kaduna should keep quiet, fold their arms and happily welcome, with a warm smile, those that have come to abuse their wives, slaughter their children, burn their homes, wipe out their faith and possess their land. Is that how to make Kaduna great again?

Is that how to get back to the glorious days of Abubakar 'Dangiwa' Umar, Ahmed Makarfi and Patrick Yakowa when Kaduna state was presided over by men of substance and character.

Is that the way to get back to the days when Kaduna state was blessed with kind and compassionate governors who were balanced, mature, sensitive, caring, gentle, cosmopolitan, inclusive and fair to all regardless of faith, tribe or ethnic nationality?

Is that how to get back to the peaceful days of Kaduna when those of us that play polo used to look forward to going there to play a few chukkas at the annual Kaduna Polo tournament?

Is that how to get back to the days when Kaduna was one of the best places to live in or visit in the country?

I doubt it very much. The truth is that nothing could be more insensitive, irresponsible, callous and utterly absurd than the dwarf's counsel and suggestion.

If that is the kind of advice that the midget has been getting from his aides and advisors ever since he was elected as governor one needs to look no further to know why he has failed so woefully.

Under his watch Kaduna state has become more divided than it has ever been in its entire history and the pungent smell and rotten stench of fresh human blood and fly-infested bloated corpses fills the air.

That is the shameful legacy that the midget and his dwarf are desperately trying to white-wash and defend.

Instead of going on their knees and begging God, the Christian community, the Shiite Muslims and the Nigerian people for forgiveness for what can, at best, be described as their irresponsible, incompetent and criminally negligent behaviour and, at worse, their willful and premeditated attempt to wipe out, exterminate and cleanse the land of the entire Christian community and every ethnic and religious minority group in Southern Kaduna and Zaria, they are throwing bricks at their perceived enemies and flying into childish tantrums.

The dwarf spoke of "political jobbers" and "opportunists". One wonders just who they are? Again one wonders precisely what the "ongoing efforts to achieve lasting peace in Kaduna" that he mentioned are given the fact that his boss the midget does not appear to give a hoot about the fact that thousands of innocent and defenceless people, including women and children, have been butchered during his watch and right under his nose.

At the end of 2015 over 1000 Shiite Muslims were killed in cold blood and buried in mass graves by the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna state. Many Shiites have accused the midget of covertly playing a sordid and questionable role in the whole affair and when one hears the facts one cannot blame them.

For example is it true that it was he that fingered Sheik Ibrahim El Zakzaky, the Shiite leader, by phoning him and ascertaining his whereabouts for the military before they tracked him down, shelled, shot and murdered hundreds of his people in the sanctity of their homes and proceeded to shoot him and his gentle Yoruba wife in the eye and stomach before whisking them both away.

Since that time they have kept both husband and wife incommunicado and in detention despite court orders to release them. One wonders what efforts the midget has made to get them out?

One wonders why he, a Sunni Muslim, hates the Shiite so much? One wonders why he has been tormenting, arresting, persecuting, outlawing, proscribing and locking them up ever since their leaders arrest even though they have never sought to harm or attack anyone?

Another example of the sheer depravity of this man was provided approximately one month ago over the Christmas holiday.

On Christmas eve and Christmas day alone, according to the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), no less that 808 Christians were killed by the midget's friends and brothers, the Fulani militia (aka herdsmen), in Southern Kaduna.

The midget and his government provided security and enforced a curfew in the Muslim areas of the state but they refused to do the same for Southern Kaduna which is Christian. Consequently the Fulani militia not only struck but they struck very hard indeed leaving nothing but death and destruction in their path.

Evidently the Chief Midget and his government are more interested in insulting, undermining, discrediting and threatening with arrest its critics and those that have expressed outrage about what the people of Southern Kaduna have been subjected to under his watch than in protecting and saving innocent Christian lives.

One wonders why he hates Christians so much to the extent that the only hospital in the relevant Christian community was shut down by his government on the days that the attacks took place in order to ensure that the wounded could not be treated and that as many Christians suffered casualties and died as possible.

Is the midget not vicariously liable and criminally culpable for those deaths even if he did not take part in the attacks himself? What is the source of and reason for his hatred for our Christian brothers and sisters? Are they not human beings as well? Are they not worthy of life? Do they not deserve to be protected?

These questions must be answered whether they like it or not. Yet instead of doing so they are spewing out more and more garbage by the day.

For example in his essay the midget's dwarf went even further by saying that "a Yoruba ex- minister who should know better" and who is "being sponsored" held a series of meetings in his Abuja home with various delegations from Southern Kaduna where they planned how to effect "a violent attack on others" in Kaduna state.

Though he did not have the courage to mention the name of that Yoruba ex-Minister it is obvious that the dwarf was referring to yours truly.

As a rule I do not respond to hired help and the aides of public office holders no matter how short they are because they are too small for me. This is especially so when they are stunted not just in physical growth but also in mental capacity.

When the midget himself dares to open his mouth and talk rubbish I will give him the full measure of my pen and tongue but I cannot bring myself to the very low level of joining issues with a frustrated dwarf or any of the other hired guns of an embittered and drowning midget.

What I will say to the dwarf however is this. If it was me that he was accusing of having meetings in my Abuja home with various delegations from Southern Kaduna he is absolutely right.

I have many friends in and from Southern Kaduna from both the Shiite Muslim and Christian community who deemed it necessary to pay me a visit in Abuja over the Christmas holidays and tell me about the genocide that they were being subjected to by the Fulani supporter of APC terrorists and military forces, with the full support and knowledge of the midget-in-chief.

I was proud to host them and I will continue to do so whether the little dwarf and his paymaster likes it or not.

I should also mention the fact that at no time did I discuss any violent attack on the Fulani or anyone else in Kaduna state with any of them though I told them plainly that if the government failed in its duty to protect them they must go ahead and defend themselves.

That is my view and it will always be my view and I will continue to share it with whoever I deem fit.

For this counsel I have no apology. If it gives the midget governor and his little dwarf sleepless nights that the people of Southern Kaduna will no longer sit back and allow their loved ones to be killed by their Fulani friends and kinsmen that is their problem. For all I care they can go and hug a transformer or jump in the lagoon. (TO BE CONTINUED).

What baffles me is that no fulani herdsman has been arrested or prosecuted till now, but u keep threatening those that are making statements while leaving those that are killing...... Are they ghosts?

Like Fayose or hate him, u can't ignore this man, he is fearless and he might be looting public funds like all other Nigerian politicians both from APC and PDP, but he is a man of the people, he has a way of leading straight down to the grassroot. Hoe many people can boldly say they have seen their governors before or even commissioners? .... this is what we want to see, not a governor that u won't see for a whole year apart from TV. We need more politicians to be like this.

psalmsjob:
Freedom of speech doesn't including inciting violence. To say everyone can express his opinion doesn't mean you can encourage violence.

If DSS truly want to arrest him Fayose can't stop them. Maybe he should live in Fayose's house forever.

Cowards on showmanship, it was all arranged between Fayose and the Apostle with their imaginary DSS .

Sorry Sir / Ma

I don't know how knowledgeable you are in political issues ooo..... but the governor of each state is the chief security officer of the state in the federal sites of government which we run here in Nigeria, so he can stop the arrest of anybody, especially when there is no arrest warrant. Same thing wike did to stop the arrest of the judge last year. Just unfortunate that most governors are scared of offending the president......shame!!!!

And by the way you are talking about inciting statements, what about killing, how many fulani herdsmen has been arrested since all these began... NOT ONE, are they ghosts??

I don't knw how knowledgeable you are in political issues, but if the governor of a state doesn't want even the military to arrest within his jurisdiction , they cant..... He is the chief security officer of his state, the same way Gov.Wike stopped the arrest of the judge last year.
This is part of federalism, but unfortunately most governors are too fearful of the Federal might cos if their political ambitions.

Looooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllll

joeace2020:
Thank you. I can't believe i live in the same country as many of the idiots on this thread saying things like 'why are they protesting, he's already president' and so many other sad things. It's so obvious why we will remain backward in Africa forever. Even women here don't know their rights. A man who pussy grabs and thinks so lowly of them is the leader of the new world and all they can say is 'e nor consign me'. I regret being A Nigerian. It sucks

It's better you regret been a Nigerian.
Some of us are proud to be Nigerians.

And by the way, if Americans don't believe in democracy or their electoral system, they should just come out straight, we were told that America is a model to the world, they voted, there came a winner, so why the noise?

uvalued:
TRUMP PRESIDENT .. the minority can have their say but the MAJORITY HAD THEIR WAY which is TRUMP PRESIDENT...

Gbam!!

@OP
Thanks for the eye opener.
I agree with some of what you wrote.
But with all due respect and information available to me, I am yet to come across any official statement where RCCG spoken against the government, I know a lot of Christians who attends pentecostal churches who are angry with the government before now used the medium to accuse the government of bias and trying to break the bones of Christianity in the country.
And let's not forget this is Nigeria, not USA, we are sensitive when it comes to religion, because we are still working on our coalition and unlike most countries, we have almost equal number of Christians and Muslims in Nigeria, which gives room always for suspicion and sensitivity.

Lastly, I don't know if you are a Christian and if you are whether your own denomination uses the same organisational structure as RCCG and most pentecostal churches (meaning you could be catholic, Anglican, etc), but which ever, I will like to say you can't separate spirituality from the governance of church, if start saying GOs have a specific number of years they must use, then you are saying God doesn't have a say in when a Christian leader should hand over like we saw severally in the bible, citing Moses, Elijah, etc as example.

Thanks
