But the senate said the bulk falls on the Ministries whom have declined or refused to defend their submitted budgets...

The American said it received $400 million so what happen to the remaining $69 million balance?

One of the issues we have in Nigeria is the inability to plan for the future, we want to have it all now now even though it won’t be enough. Why not chill and make best of the situation instead of rushing into fast deals that will only add to the issues on ground. War planes are not something that are easy to come by especially new ones with latest upgrades.

Dem dey sell likes for market? Nairaland knows those obsessed with likes. Lol..
We were here b4 2015 elections, we are here after, and we will still be here after Buhari win in 2019.

Argue with your phone.

Bye!

Josh44s:


Same goes to you. Mark my words, your walking corpse of a President will die before 2019 election. You will remember these words when it happen and beg for forgiveness because once he dies, so many zombie followers like you will die mysteriously. The blood of the innocents you are are pretending not to see and talk about will surely visit your dumb president and his followers.

Argue with your phone. Bye!

[s]Only an intellectually lazy, semi illiterate with a warped thinking of ur ilk will support executive high handedness over the rule of law.

When a corrupt laden, financially rogue government like this APC government starts dipping it's thieving fingers to withdraw huge sums of money from the country's Excess Crude Account without notifying the legislature and commiting constitutional breaches in the name of an imaginary deadline, and yet the said military hardware won't be delivered into the country soon but in the next 2 years then you ask yourself why the rush in the first place.

Well i know APC media zombies are brainless and definitely don't have the capacity to think outside what they've been programmed to, and like their chief zombie said and i quote "I will happily jump into burning fire if President Buhari tells me to jump into it" ---Gov. Yahaya Bello 2018. There's nothing much to be expected from a destitute who screams sai baba allover the media space[/s].

GenBuhari:
NASS must do their job which is to pass the budget. I[b]t is not a must that the every department and ministry defend their budget[/b]. Does it mean if a parastatal in a ministry's fails to appear to defend budget , the budget is never passed into law?

God bless Mr President...
For those bitter clowns that thought this is the era where funds are approved for election purposes or where Dansuki just orders CBN to release money for special duties, or for some useless reason because of election, that era is dead and buried with the last administration.

And those intellectually lazy youths who thought $10mil is the actual cost not considering that it depends on config, and that is the lowest possible amount, Garba Shehu was not wrong. You clowns forgot that, rockets and bombs including training and other military hardware/weapons are included in the contract.

Shame on the enemies of Nigeria...

Buhari till 2023 after which Osinbajo will take over

rexlims:
let us aak ourselves dis questions,
1. y 2020 delivery date, is d president anticipating a sort of confrontation by d time he rigs himself into position in 2019?
2. should dis govt fail (which I pray they do) to get back to power in 2019, will d then govt not be taking glory for purchase of planes it never initiated? just as dis present govt has equally taken glory for project dat where initiated by previous administrations.
3. cant dis money be used to revamp our moribund industries, thereby engaging all d "lazy"youths in Nigeria?
this is misplaced priority. whether we accept it or not, some persons have profited from dis deal.

How do you come up with such... does that means every dick and harry can come up with a fictitious budget and not bother to defend it, but you expect the senate to approve it without vetting?

A SHOW ON THE DARK SIDE OF A COUNTRY.

If the deep blue sea is not an option, then one must befriend the devil. But when being between the deep blue sea and the devil is a choice, then too many questions arises for the same mind. What now resonates across the melodramatic political scene in Ghana is the recent US-Ghana Military Agreement.

The. United States no doubt has a long running history with Ghana, ranging from joint military operations to provision of military training. A major intrusion into the country's internal affair was in February 1966, when America and the Central Intelligence Agency helped in the overthrow of Kwame Nkrumah. A foray into the recent 2018 defense cooperation agreement which had heated up the polity beginning from May this year, tell one that the Ghanaians has more than enough to worry about.

What is eye-catching in the agreement from which Ghana(one country among so many Donald Trump called a '''shithole''') tends to benefit $20 million as investment to equip her military, seems in incongruous to a mutual relationship. At least, the protesting Ghanaians thinks so. From the agreement, the US military and it's PMC(Private Military Contractors) are not supposed to lay taxes. Needless to say PMCs ain't government regulated and necessarily don't answer for damages caused by them. Further, the US military is given certain territories which it's entry and exit is controlled only by them. Also, the agreement will allow for importation of equipments not subject to inspection by the Local security. In addition, usage of the Ghanian airwaves are free. The foreigners will also be allowed to drive on the Ghanian Street without license. What is most irking for the locals is that, the Defense Minister wants the citizens to think that the assertion of a U.S military base is baseless.

As one would expect, this is an opportunity for the NDC opposition to traduce the government. But why it seems the NDC has no moral right to think for any Ghanian at this point, is founded on a similar agreement signed in the year 1998 under J.J Rawlings and in 2015. And so the plot to establish a U.S military base in the country is a show that has been on the dark side of Ghana. How necessary is the U.S military presence in a seemingly peaceful country?, is one question that can't be fathomed.

The U.S will always want to turn out hegemonic even in a foreign soil. And so the average man need no premonition to predict the kind of cataclysmic event that awaits all when the going goes wrong. Thereby, giving credence to Murphy's law which states "...anything capable of going wrong will go wrong".

Predictably if the show goes on, Ghana's sovereignty would be redefined. Also, FREEDOM might take a shift from the opinion of Mark Knopfler who said "... I don't like definitions, but if there is a definition of freedom, it would be when you have control over reality to transform it, to change it, rather than having it imposed on you. You can't really ask for more than that". Of course, this are peace times. For it to remain so, the heart must continue to be troubled with striving not to be between the deep blue sea and the devil.
