You are very wrong. He based his budget on realistic revenue expectation compare to Osun state with nothing coming from federation account due to reckless borrowing and insignificant internally generated revenue. People like you are quick to trade blame without no single fact and figure to back your assumptions.

grafikii:
Fayose has no projects for 2016, all he wants to do is pay salaries, pay newspaper advert, cut ponmo with other delicate meat and fish anatomy.
He will end it all with holy ghost prayer by december 2016.

Your assumption is wrong. Average Nigerians knows the landing cost of PMS so it is difficult for cabal to fix the price high when people know the cost. It is much easier to remove subsidy now with little increase in price of PMS due to falling price of crude oil but he fail to explain what will happen is there an increase in price of crude oil. This government is making assumptions that things will remain the same in formulating there economic plans which most likely things changes with.

Sibrah:
Good. At last I can afford to trust the govt with simple decision making. If PDP led govt had supervised same move I am sure the marketers would have transformed into cabals and regulate oil prices for huge profit via bogus claims. If the marketers could steal the govt money via subsidy you tell me how same govt would have been able to regulated them without subsidy. I support the move.

You are wrong. Every countries in the world has a street trading with little or no regulation from the government. What the CBN should do is make Dollars accessible to genuine buyers and discourage people from patronizing the black market. Fixing a limit on how much i dollars i can spend daily is an encouragement for people to patronize black market.

Ferdinandu:
Everybody is castigating Emefiele but this is part of the obvious change. Doing things in the right and legal way. Which sane country do people hawk Forex at street corners, no registration, no guidelines. This going to introduce hardship in getting Forex but in the long run that is the way to go.

The CBN is trying all possible means to regulate a free market which in completely impossible. It's either we operate a free market or closed economy. Regulating a free market is like stopping the flowing of an ocean, it will always find another route. CBN can determine the exchange rate of Naira to Dollar in inter-bank and not in street trading. Over regulating the exchange rates will only send wrong signal to foreign investors that Nigeria is far from free market economy.

You have a point. Why go on killing sprea when you can invite the dude for questioning. We need to over haul our armed forces for real.. All we have is trigger happy

Shymm3x:
You're sick in the head. You mean the same medieval country that allowed a ragtag group turn into the deadliest terrorist group in the world, is the same one you're running your mouth about, no? - hysterical. Iran just needs to supply them with Fajr-5, the same missiles hamas carry around, and let's see if ya ragtag militia men in uniform calling themselves armed forces won't scamper for cover. What type of country in the 21st century engages in extra-judicial killings of innocent and unarmed civilians - just because they have a different doctrine?

Shiites are the most peaceful Muslims albeit they're also the most vicious when their backs are pushed to the wall. Keep screaming "this is Nigeria" about a useless country stuck in the medieval ages...and watch poetic justice come bite you in ya arse. I only pity the innocent folks who would become collateral damage when they strike back.

How can you wipe out almost everyone in a family and expect them not to retaliate? The man has nothing to lose.

This has nothing to do with APC or PDP but how our nation has decend this low. Our armed forces went on killing sprea on a moderate Boko Haram and we are yet to recover from the monster we made out of them and here we go again. How long will it take us to learn from our mistakes? We need to learn how to manage religous sect because using circa on them will only radicalize them.

The truth is CBN knows the right thing to do but APC has made so much promises and this is for saving face. We have no other option as a country but to let the demand and supply determine the value of our currency if we want to develop as a nation. It's not the value of our curency thay determine our worth but the level of production and goods and services. Cyprus pound is the highest value currency but nobody for once talk about Cyprus as a country. Lets learn from China who constanly devalue her currency to make goods cheaper for export.

MAURI:
@xandy84



Thank you. You just nailed it. This is the hard reality on ground. Coupled with the fact that the CBN recently reduced interest rates! The current CBN policy of susidizing the Naira is not sustainable.

Wonderful on paper but the reality is crystal clear. With the record low in crude oil price which is our major foriegn earning should necessarily mean we should devalue our currency. Making dollars hard to come by will send wrong signal to investors that we are operating a highly regulated economy which is against the economics basic of demand and supply market and that is a turn off to foreign investors. All major oil exportor like Saudi, Russia etc devalue there currencies in face of dwindling oil price and Nigeria should not be an exception.

I really do not comprehend the need to travel here and there when he has lots to do at home. The country is on fire and Mr. president think it is wise to visit all the countries of the world. A man whose house is on fire does not chase rat but it seems Buhari view is contrary to the wise saying. I pray he succeed in bringing back the glorious days to Nigeria but his actions is saying otherwise and prayer without concrete plans and work is dead according to the bible.

Guess Buhari honeymoon is not over yet.. BH is taking over and all he has to say is We are winning the war.. who is "WE"

You are wrong. What works in telecoms will work on other sectors. Government does not have business in doing business and this is the simple truth Nigerian government need to learn. Remove subsidy completely, sell the refineries, hands off electricity generation and distribution. Government should only regulate. I have lost count of many electricity companies in United States cos every major different cities has different electricity company and such model should the copied in Negeria.

ThisMeansWars:
I know this exactly will be the response ..

Telecom telecoms telecoms ... Why not use phcn as an example ?
Last time I checked, generator sellers are still smiling to banks and its goverment that is till paying heavy money to build power station and transmison station not the investors .... It's people like you that want us yo believe that once phcn is privatized, our problem will suddenly go away .

Have you considered that what worked in telecoms might not work in other sector ?

we are talking about fuel that has impact on our daily lives you are talking about telecommunications... People can just boycott telecoms industry same way people don't give a hoot about nitel if they decide to have their own cabal , can you say the same about petroleum? Have you ever thought about that?
Can you do without petroleum in Nigeria ?

I personally think Buhari should stop making promises cos election period is over. This is the time his achievements speaks for him and not rhetorical promises. Nigerians have eyes and they can see if he is performing or not.

I beg to disagree on your conclusion bro. Policy statement drives government of 21st century and Buhari having a clear understanding of each ministries does not have any positive effect without clear cut policy for such minstry to follow. Am a fan of APC and Buhari but he needs to understand that NOW is the time to start delivering his numerous election promises to Nigerians. He needs to start walking his talk cos Nigerians patience is beginning to grow thin..

chinchum:
Buhari didnt wait for 4 months as president to announce ministers because he was confused as to whom to select, he waited because he wanted a clear understanding of each ministry , the state of each ministries, and the expected output from each ministries.

When Nigerians elected an old man as president, who do you guys expect to appoint as ministers? A young man?. No disrespect to the person of Buhari but he was HOS in 84 and 31 years later, he never developed himself acedemically except his poultry business and Nigerians expect him to perform magic. Wait till 4 years and you guys going to be sorry.

Awesome but he needs to focus his attention to numerous problems at home and come up with life changing polices because body language does not change anything.

Really? My point is made. Ignorance is when you do not have your fact before accusing someone of wrong doing. In a sane clime, you end up behind bars for false accusation but anything goes in naija.
Am not in support of corruptions but we all need to verify our claims before coming public. Simple

emmanuel596:
For your mind you don drop lyrics about GEJ

For the sake of fairness and justice. Have your fact ready before acccusing GEJ, any former minister or even Buhari. Sitting down behind a computer or phone to type this trash shows how immature you are because accusation without fact is call libel and can earn you jail time.. Grow up

You are been sentimental in your view. Isreal has never for once launch unprovoked attack on the Palestinians. It always the Palestinians that usually fire rocks into Isreal territorry and run to hide on civilians populated areas and Isreal does the best by dropping flyier warning the people before carying air raid on such areas.
History has shown time without numbers countries in the middle east makes much noise areas about about their military might when they literally has nothing in real sense. Iraq comes to mind.
I crave for relative peace in middle east cos the whole region is going down but Iran is no match for Isreal.

Zoharariel:
You're not paying attention and therefore I need not be repeating myself.

If you read my 1st comment on this thread, you would know if I am a muslim or not.

Whether Israel has come to stay in the middle east or not, is none of my business, but the day Israel attacks Iran, that day will be the end of Israel, Yahweh or no Yahweh.

Are you a Muslim? If yes then i understand the angle you seeing things from. Am not in support of Isreal war against Palestinians. Both side has fault and the only solution to the problem is thru diplomacy and not war. The reality is Isreal has come to stay in Middle East and Iran is no match for Isreal.

Zoharariel:
Yes, there's no doubt about Israel being in possession of WMD's but the day she bombs Iran with it, Walahi, contrary to all those biblical fairytales & horseshit, Israel will cease to exist.

It is not surprising at all that Christian hypocrites, like yourself, will never see anything wrong in the tremendous, deliberate & carefully calculated evil & injustice being perpetrated by Israel all in the name of God's chosen people.

I care less whether they control the American economy or not, but I assure you that Israel is never & will never be impervious to Nuclear attacks simply because one overrated reptilian sky-daddy say so.

Having said that, now, read this:

Israel Gets A Resounding Slap In The Face From Putin.

www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Analysis-Israel-gets-a-resounding-slap-in-the-face-from-Putin-398614

Pic 1: Russian S-300 defense systems delivered to Iran.

Pic 2: Caesar Putin schooling Netanyahu about Iran on what & what not

Am not taking side with Israel but for your information, Israel is the only country in middle East that has atomic bomb and the Jews control American economy so going to war with Isreal is indirectly going to war with America.

Zoharariel:
I am neither a Muslim nor a Christian but Walahi Talahi, if Israel is not careful, she won't even see the year 2020.

The world no longer buys the biblical-horseshit & lies about Israeli being God's chosen people. That is not enough reason for you to start killing innocent civilians & annexing their lands.

If Israel is truly Yahweh's chosen people, Y don't they go against Russia or try annexing St. Petersburg like they've been doing to Palestine and see if truly Yahweh exists.

If war breaks out between Russia & America today, Ayayaya, It is bye-bye to Jehovah, not just Israel.

Good on papers but "How do you want to implement it? How is it going to be finance? What is the time frame of the implementation? These are questions people should ask APC led government. The era of making bogus promises without visible implementation plan is gone. People are getting tired of talking without action. THIS IS TIME TO ACT..

Buhari himself give credit to GEJ about the improvement in power sector. Am not a fan of GEJ but the improvement Nigerians are witnessing in power sector presently is because of past administration and the present administration has not come up with plans to improve the sector.

zendy:
Dont talk nonsense. Nobody can generate 5000 Mw of electricity withing 100 days. It is simply not possible. Buhari is not a miracle worker. Any improvement you see right now in the power sector has more to do with Jonathan's administration than Buhari

As much i want to believe you have problem with Jonathan, you need to learn a simple fact. Our world is a civilized place and the minimum requirement of a functional human is to act with civility even in the midst of grievances. You can't continue to speak on this tone and expect to be successful in life. My 2 cents advice.

Rilwon:
The driver must have been Jonathan - clueless stupíd ogogoro drinking flat headed nitwit motherf*cking bastârd

Am not a fan of PDP but am impressed by the level of maturity in their reply to APC. PDP has shown so far that oposition is not about hauling insult to the givernment of the day. APC needs to learn from them and stop acting like opposition party. I will be happy to see all the looted funds return but lets not get distracted from the primary function of government which is providing good governance. APC needs to call attention of Buhari to his primary fumction which is providing good governance and let the anti graft agencies do the probing.

I want to believe you did not read the write up..

doctokwus:
They did get the concept, conceivers,board members and cost estimate right;those much NOI admitted.
Admitted SR got wrong the part they made it sound like d Hosp will soon be commissioned,but @least if anybody or organisation had any plan of using corrupt funds to finance the Hosp or wants to use it as a means of laundering money,now the heat is being turned on,they would have been stopped.

Wise up bro and place the blame where it belong. How does controller of immigration knows who and who get Nigerian visa abroad? As much as am not speaking on his behalf, it will make much sense to blame our consular abroad than blame immigration controller who is not a visa issuing officer..

seunmsg:
Good decision by the president. If he can't explain how the Isis terrorist got a valid Nigerian visa, the suspension should be converted to sack. Incompetency should not be condoned in the PMB administration.

Get your fact right.. The road belong to State government and not local government.

Yungwizzzy:
Local government is uselessly useless

Someone should tell Oshiomole to get his fact right before coming to the public. The dude is looking stupid daily trying to paint GEJ administration black. The world bank commend the ATA only for the him to find fault in without coming up with alternate solution. APC are on the wrong side of governance because they still act and talk like opposition. Buhari obsession with probe will stagnate the country. While not concentrate on the business of governance and let EFCC and ICPC investigate people believe to have steal from government.

So you are a chartered accountant and you think like jambite.. no offense but your post lack civility. NOI has gave a detailed explanation of what money was borrowed and how such borrowed money was disbursed to the various contractors handling the project. Buhari led administration should make their findings before making allegation. Its beginning to be one too many baseless allegations that is ridiculing the present administration.

ibedun:
I am a chartered accountant in a London based financial institution. Happy now.

Am not for or against for NOI but your comment makes little sense. A woman who attended Harvard is the one you calling glorify clerk? What is your qualification? have you ever step out of Nigeria before? For your information, average Americans can not get into Harvard so you should appreciate Nigerians who do.

ibedun:
Foolish man. She was a glorified clerk over there and she was no more than a token affirmative action candidate. That's why she jumped at the opportunity twice. She had zero power and did not even report to the senior management team let alone the board or committee at the world bank. The finance minister was well beyond her level. Useless thief. NOI you are thief.
