Goodluck Jonathan's cuts to the N 16.4 Billion Naira is not impressive. I don't see why we should be celebrating. I believe we all need to put on sack cloth wherever we are on this planet and mourn. We need to wail and gnash our teeth and repent deeply in our hearts as individuals and as a nation. I believe President Jonathan should have organized a live press conference with Nigerians which will be broadcast on Radio, Television and on the Internet. Our President will then give his Independence speech and take questions from Nigerians all over the World. He could use the opportunity to present his plans for the country to us and also address the energy crisis bedevilling Nigeria. The N16.4 Billion Naira is just too much. The money could be used to renovate selected Secondary or Primary schools all over the country. It is not yet time for celebrations. There is a lot of work to be done and after we've accomplished some things, we can then celebrate. It is not as if our Independence Anniversary should be dry and uninspiring, but the proposed cash should be reduced drastically. Cheers.

I no fit shout. What will it take anyone to think like this? Even if they have to be told, how can we reach them with this message now? Should we first detonate 4 nuclear weapons before them go hear?

i think 1-2billion will be ideal, i dont know what kind of celebration they are doing for their pocket only!
Re: Jonathan Slashes N16.4 Billion Nigeria @ 50 Celebrations Budget by CBTonline(m): 2:33pm On Jul 09, 2010
I'm very well sure they Nigerians were going to react

to the outrageous figure and so they decided to slash it.

Even, at that, the figures are still gargantuan.

It's quite surprising that things are done in reverse in

this country.

Really, i pray God will show us mercy in this nation and

bless us with leaders that have HIS fear in their heart.

Re: Jonathan Slashes N16.4 Billion Nigeria @ 50 Celebrations Budget by Pafuri(m): 2:55pm On Jul 09, 2010
While every one is proposing figures and getting annoyed because their 'candidates' (the figures) have not been chosen ('elected') by the Messiah, I wish to make two humble suggestions.

1. How about declaring the day a 'A national Day of Prayers'? Though not a believer myself, it occurs to me that I read somewhere that Nigerians are the most religious on earth. So lets have a day when we could get our religion on. Prayer and fasting will not only touch the 'gods', they will also do us well by cleansing our psyche as well as liberating our bowels. Please note that since this has a spiritual and physiological goal, no thithes or any other donations should be made in the various venues of worship. My only fear is that this will be sabotaged by politicians of all persuations, ugliness, and immorality. You can bet they will show up in their convoy of the most expensive IMPORTED cars, bought with the peolpes money. They and their hangers-on will show up, clad in the biggest agbada, baba-riga, and the various symbols of ethnic identity. They just have to have a celebraion! It is the opportunity for them to 'feed' the people with the crumbs from their (the leaders) well stocked pantry and wine cellar.


2. Why not just shut Nigeria down for that day? Yes, shut it down as in a self imposed curfew that will last 24 hours.  Spend the time with your family, friends and neighbors. Please do not celebrate as it is customary with you to celebrate even those who steal your property, and thank the God of Israel for those who make Nigerian's , Africans', and the black race's lives so unlivable. Do not thank God for having blessed those, ask for God's wrath on them. Whatever God we worship must be quite unfair and inconsiderate that those thieves are still roaming free. Considering what they have done, are still doing, and will certainly continue to do, Nigerians probably need to reconsider their relationship with God. As the Yorubas see it, a relationship based on faith is reciprocal : I worship you, make sacrifices to you, and obey your injunctions; the least you can do is help me, 'Orisa bo l'e gbemi, fimi sile bose b'ami'. If our leaders are not ready to stop 'leading' us to ruination, the least we can do is protest. But do we? Oh, no! As far as we are concerned their worldly 'sucess' is 'just' a blessing from God, and who are we to go against 'Yahweh'. We follow them to give thanks for keeping to themselves what was meant for the commonwealth. We follow them to Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem, River Jordan, Lourdes, Rome etc., etc,. God must have a great sense of humor. This is what comes to my mind when I see them, piously reading the Bible by the River Jordan, or hitting their forehead on the ground in Mecca.  Meanwhile nothing works: no electricity, no water, the roads are not motorable, the kids dont go to school; teachers, professors, doctors are not paid, many die in an attempt to collect their pension, and all your leaders want to do is celebrate 50 years of independence? Forgive me if i say there should be no celebtration of failure even if it is a failure of one day, talk less of 50 years. Yes, SHUT NIGERIA DOWN. Nigerians should meet and discuss how to bring profound change in all aspects of life, private and public, or if you want, how to get rid of these vampires that pretend to lead US.



Just wondering.

I thought it was N10B before, so it was actually N16.4B

This is enough tool for a credible opposition to finish him during the next election.

Gosh!!! 1 day event that adds not much value to us, or to the common man on the street, for N9.5 Billions?

What 'Owambe party' is this man throwing? Is he crazy?

Gates would have done it for free!  cheesy

Kidding aside, many highly talented Nigerians would build a befitting website for less than 10% of N6,000,000.

By rough estimate, i guess the Nigeian population is about 100million. Just give each Nigeian 1million each and you incompetent leaders can jeun lo with the remaining billions and we can all have a wonderful celebration together.

You need some arithmetic.

God almighty, pls listen and answer my prayer that ive been praying 4 long.
even though i dont want to go into politics cos im not interested a bit in it, God pls let members of my family,friends,relatives and loved ones get into power soon so that i can enjoy miilk and honey wtout sweat.
the rate @ which these assholes squander our resources calls for a revolution and brings tears and blood to my heart always, but i know that some1 close to me will get there someday and i'll be compensated

i cant bliv a whooping 6000000 for web hosting when several millions are out there as professionals and have not made that much in over 5yrs when theyve hosted about 5000 sites

I know that tempers are high now, and justifyably so. The money is outrageously high. Though our opinion here does not really matter, even touhgh N9.5 b is still very very high but it is better than the N16.5b that he met.
My two cents. shocked shocked shocked shocked
Re: Jonathan Slashes N16.4 Billion Nigeria @ 50 Celebrations Budget by seanlaw(m): 5:21pm On Jul 09, 2010
Developed countries around the world are cutting cost while our dear Nigeria is planning to spend 9.5 billion. In a country where poverty, lack of effective and adequate health care is missing. Power outage is the in thing and this government is spending this much. 320million on advert, 100million for a sport village in south africa(world cup ends in july and independence day is still in October). God why can't you just send out the Angel of Death to wipe out these wasters, thieves, leaders without a passion to serve. cry angry sad

Can't they just donate to 1goal?

presido is now associating with the tura soap gomina now?


BTW, I don't think spending 10 billion dollars (abt US $65m) is too much to celebrate a nation's 50 years anniversary. My opinion.

what exactly are we celebrating? is spending millions on lectures/symposiums now a form of celebration. which kind symposiums on independence day cost millions shocked

Nigerian leaders are literally rogues in power,worst than any armed robber you can think of in nigeria.That they are educated or elderly does not make them any different from common thieves.
