Permanent Secretary was there.
I doubt this story, may be fake social media account.

yakbauer:
OP Very Misleading topic,it wasn't a letter to Buhari, just an IG comment, and the absence of government officials is what u could've said. The minister of sports, perm sec of ministry of youth and sports and the chairman of NFF should take all the blame for not attending the big Boss's burial. It's disheartening
Anyway Austin Eguavoen hit d nail on d head by asking if Nigeria is actually worth the struggle.
All we can do as sympathetic Nigerians and most football lovers is to pray for eternal rest.
RIP Big Boss

yes

defeat of boko haram a plan?
charging corrupt politicians to court and remanding them in prison a plan?
Delivery of Abuja-Kaduna rail a plan?
Reactivation of refineries a plan?

I think not!

Holyman3:
Always planning to.

This implies that he himself as the chairman of the committee must have also collected bribe from Dogara.

Jibrin better learn to keep his mouth shut before he gets himself in deeper trouble than he is already in.

They been promising to return this sum for almost 20 years and still promising without returning.

btw Abacha never looted, Thief Obasanjo tagged this sum Abacha loot and the name stuck. Our lazy journalists won't ask probing questions nor do any background research.

I will bet a million dollars you can never find a video clip of the Swiss officials or Buhari's foreign or finance minister call the sum "Abacha Loot"

Oma307:
After they have used our money for interest which was for their own advantage

well thanks you sha for even promising to return the looted fund

So who fathered the baby?

Who tell you na private jet?
If the jet belongs to FG and she is using it for work, then you cannot call it private jet.

Who created these outrages pay structures ? I bet it was during the criminal administration of Obasanjo 1999-2007

surmeister:
21 senators currently receiving pensions from government
as ex-governors and deputy governors.
The current senators who once served as governors are
Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano,
Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom,
Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam
Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of
Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda
Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara,
Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe,
Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka
Adeleke of Osun.
The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun
Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia.
Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of
Taraba state.
Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as
Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and
Fashola (SAN).).
In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and
deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries
of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official
car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide;
a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a
sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million
for his deputy governor.
In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic
salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential
house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in
Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the
deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and
two cars for the deputy every four years.
It is alleged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two
houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at
N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also
receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a
furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be
paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually
for life.
This is the reality for all the 21 ex governors and deputy
governors who are currently serving as senators. This same
is also true of ex governors who are now serving as
Ministers.
NOW ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as
governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8 years? Is
that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they
are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?
As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public
servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as
a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim
pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in
Nigeria?
IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......
Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you
must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government
at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply
to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate
President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the
current finance minister to discuss the recession of
Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30
million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our
"honourables" are not interested to make laws that could
restructure our country into economically autonomous
federating Zones/Regions to save the country from
sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.
The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians
are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations
while these enemies of state continue to rape us.
THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!
Do you know that it costs tax payers 290m Naira yearly to
maintain each member of our National Assembly in a
country where nothing works, and 80% of the population
earn below 300 Naira a day? A working day earning of a
senator is more than a yearly income of a doctor; it's more
than the salary of 42 Army generals or 48 professors or 70
commissioners of police or more than twice the pay of the
US president or 9 times the salary of US congressmen.
Please say NO to looting of Nigeria in the name of
democracy.

The mess was cause by the Obasanjo privatisation.
Yaradua was trying to sort out the mess.

porka:
What mess are you talking about?

Obasanjo privatized the plants but Yaradua attempted to cancel it without considering the impact on the development of Nigeria.

The company that bought the entities filed an action at the arbitration court in London. And that's where it has been until the current Fayemi's attempt at getting the Indians to cede one company and hold on to the other.

Don't forget that Buhari was responsible for taking Nigeria backward for several generations with his coup of 1983. This steel complex was not an exception.

Yet another mess created during Obasanjo's administration 1999-2007.

But where is the highway sef? All we have here is is an isolated hole in ordinary grounds (not tarmac) surrended ny residential buildings and trees.

ceaser:
You'll need pylons and supports for an overhead structure like the bridge. These support structures need to have solid foundations from down up. I suppose that's what's in the picture.

I'm not a structural engineer though, so I stand to be corrected.

I may be being ignorant here, but is there ever a flyover project that is enclosed by a brick and steel wall as in the photo below?

Best question in the thread. 6 months since he paid any salaries and we are expected to believe he has money to pay contractors for a huge project?
The photos do not appear to be a site any where near a road, so how could probably it be a fly over? He is probably using a visit to a private sector development to hoodwink people.

Remember the stunt he pulled at what appeared to be a chinese train station?

princeofpeace22:
Has he paid his workers?

They bastardised themselves by their acts of forgery and criminality

Smooyis:
The hallowed chamber of the Senate has been highly bastardised.

During elections some of Buhari's strongest male critics suddenly found a way to forgive him as soon as they set eyes on his daughter Zahra for the first time.

One dude even promised that he would definitely vote for Buhari, this is a dude who is a Ghanaian living in Ghana

I vote mysticgal

Kind generous attractive and honest.

cc. NLJega

He does not owe salaries , for me thats enough by itself.

bloodyBLOGGER:
This thing is becoming irredeemable. Can someone honestly make a good list of the significant projects done by this man's administration? Am not talking about the unnecessary flyover that he commissions everyday o. We keep seeing him in the media without really seeing what he is doing. I wonder why a governor packing dirts should be a huge news. I know his horse will come for me soon while screaming "Willie is Twerking".

I was gonna say he seems happy in jail so why release him ?

Badtman:
It seems he is enjoying the watery Beans

Fuel scarcity yet people like you are supporting criminals who bomb fuel pipelines

quid:
And nowadays

No photo
No credible source
doubt remains

Nice thread OP

Can somebody remind me of the reason the clowns at the NFF sacked Keshi?

Is the beautiful lady sitting next to him? She is dressed like a barrister.

ElPadrino33:
Wike's wife is extremely beautiful

Her question was more general than that it was more about inclusiveness and she mention a few regions one of which may have been Niger Delta

OjukwuWarBird:
The white woman asked about his plan for the Nigerdeltans

I think there was one foreign trip weeks ago that one of the themes was empowering women, that Senator Al Hassan accompanied the president, and I think Adamu was also there, although I am not sure about Jibril.

Maybe an African union event.
If they all attended may be poisoning.

Thank to underline that point on his foreign trips Buhari is as like to be accompanied by 5% governors as he is 95% governors

He also did not exclude 5% states from bail out funds.

ckmayoca:
If they r upset then let them be. Ignore them and leave them totally. U can vote for one person if he wins or lose that doesn't make u an outcast.

Some stupid govs too acts like an idiot by ignoring some cities where they didn't win. They shld remember sometime in future the person or the party will need the region's vote or support.

So just saying thanks or showing appreciation to a constituency that worked hard to elect him, amounts to punishing constituencies that gave him 5%
So they are bombing pipelines based on their assumed interpretation of the 5% comment (which was just a statement of universal truth) rather than any factual actions.

The pipeline bombing is a western conspiracy to sabotage our govt this 5% comment is one of few very weak watery excuses to claim there is a grievance where none exists in reality.

kenny987:
No citizen or region should be punished for their choice of political candidates. Do u have just one political party? Did he swear an oath to all Nigerians as President or only to preside over the regions that gave majority votes? You forget that d major part of the income for ds country comes from that region with 5% votes so why is he concerned about their resources and activities as we gave currently when you feel his justified to exclude them politically? Why is it a problem if dey declare Biafra or Niger Delta Republic?

So why are they getting upset if he spoke the truth?
Or do they expect him thank them for giving him 5%?

ckmayoca:
Without naming any region, if u use ur sense that is in ur head not the one on ur fingers u will knw the region that gave him low votes.

1. Buhari was asked a complex question by an American female journalist from the audience that mentioned inclusiveness. He didn't really understand the question and he sought clarification from the host on the stage with, who whispered something inaudible in his ear.
To be honest I also didn't fully understand the question.

2. Buhari said that it is a political reality that you cannot treat a constituency that gave you 5 percent the same way as a constituency that gave you 95%, because you have to show some appreciation for the hard work put in by constituencies that helped get you elected.

3.He went on to add however that he stands by his motto of belonging to everyone and belonging to nobody.

4.He also added that he couldn't treat any constituency differently even if he wanted to because the Nigerian constitution forbids it.

5. He never mentioned any regions by name so how the the ND militants know he was ascribing the 5% to them beats logic.
