BluntTheApostle:


How does frugality reduce the cost of governance?

What reduces the cost of governance is downsizing.

Frugality only restricts the circulation of money. With few money in circulation, demand will be very low, and producers would be forced to produce less.

And then, you have scarcity, and other serious problems.



Frugality is not an excellent trait of a good leader. In fact, being frugal does not necessarily mean you are using money in the way you should.

Take for example, a businessman who decides against investing in expensive but effective technology, but instead purchases inefficient and outdated machinery. His competitors will leave him behind, and his productivity will decrease.




In 2007, the State House of Assembly approved money for payments of arrears of salaries and pensions, Obi kept the money in the bank instead of paying retirees. At a time, he wanted to even make interest on the money by loaning them out. All this in the name of saving.

That man must never be president. Nigerians will suffer under him. It is a warning.

A man who is not wise enough to know when to spend and when to save will plunge this country into a serious economic crisis.



How can you say frugality doesn't reduce the cost of governance?. Do you know how many things Nigeria owns but doesn't even use?. Is it the private jets (both the one in use and not in use) accompanied with the costs of Maintainance and repairs, presidential lodges scattered around the country, mindless donations without proper records to checkmate how that money is being spent, senseless and uncompleted projects that were not needed in the first place, outrageous salaries of lawmakers, senators, governors and other case studies.
If not being frugal helped keep money in circulation, then APC and PDP that were known for sharing money should have kept Naira in check na. There are so many unnecessary things government spends that could be channelled to good use. The worst is they keep on borrowing to find such lifestyle.

PO must be president. Both APC and PDP no get better aspirants. They 've ruled us so far and the country is worse than before. Also the habit of continuously recycling old politicians have to stop. Let's try new hands with proven records of achievements.
I really wanted a PO vs PYO but I guess many Nigerians don't reason like me or see what I see.

Oga i was born in the 80's ... you can start from gen. raji rasaki sef ... from jakande to buba Marwa they all tried buh than does not discredit the fact that Tinubu gave lagos a new image. Marwa did his best and i remember lagosians liked him buh we loved Tinubu even more .... from fashola to ambode to sanwo olu you will see a synergy because they are all building on one man's blueprint which is only limited to lagos.
I am not saying anyone that want to vote OBI should not vote him buh make we dey clear ourselves the facts base on records & achievement not empty promises i don grow pass that one abeg

Alleged N250m Anambra money: Police launches fresh investigation

By ikenna Anyanwu
Contrary to speculations that the case of recent recovery of a whooping sum of N250 million in cash in a private office of Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State in Apapa, Lagos by eagle-eyed policemen in Lagos has been rested, indications emerged over the week that Police authorities in Abuja have commenced thorough investigations into the matter.

This is just as untold details of the circumstances that led to the strange discovery and the role played by all the parties involved including the Police were unfolded by reliable police sources at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.

Saturday Vanguard gathered that on the said day, which was Sunday, Police authorities in Lagos received information from one of the aides to Governor Peter Obi that a huge sum of money was been conveyed to the Governor's private company at Aerodrome road in Apapa, Lagos.

Based on this, Lagos State Police Commissioner, Marvel Akpoyibo led some of his officers including the Area Commander in Apapa and they stormed the company.

Police sources said on getting to the scene, they saw the exotic jeeps that transported the money which were arraigned in suit cases inside the premises.



The Police reportedly instructed one of the aids to the Governor who was seen there to inform the Governor of their intention to inspect the vehicles. At this juncture, according to reports, the Governor instructed his aides not to open the vehicles until he comes to Lagos.

As soon as the Commissioner of Police was informed of the Governor’s directive, he reportedly deployed policemen to guard the vehicles until the arrival of the Governor.

That Sunday, at about 2.30 pm, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi arrived the scene with their entourage and the Police Commissioner insisted that the vehicles must be thoroughly searched in the presence of everybody because the information received was a case of arms and ammunition being stockpiled for the 2010 election in Anambra State.

Governor Obi who was reportedly not comfortable with the Commissioner˜s directive was said to had capitulated by directing his aids to open the vehicle and this led to the discovery of the whooping sum of N250 million. Saturday Vanguard learnt that at this stage, the Commissioner of police quickly alerted the Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro who directed that the Governor should make a statement over the discovery.

Sources said that in his statement, Governor Obi stated that the money found in the vehicles belongs to Anambra State and that it was meant for payment to one of their contractors who wanted cash.

It was gathered also that when the police asked Governor Obi why he should pay such a huge amount of money in cash instead of draft or cheque, the Governor could not give reasonable answer.

It was then that the Inspector~General of Police directed that the money should be paid back to Anambra State government account without delay.


On Monday the following day, both the Commissioner of Police and Governor Obi reportedly moved to Spring bank where the money was paid into Anambra State Government account and a photocopy of the deposit slip made and handed over to the Commissioner of Police.

Saturday Vanguard also learnt that what fueled police suspicion over the money was that they also got information that the Governor was billed to travel out of the country a week after the money was intercepted.

To worsen the speculation, Governor Obi reportedly traveled overseas after the incident.

It was at this stage that the Inspector~General of Police who was properly briefed on the incident directed the Force Criminal Investigations Department under Deputy Inspector~General of Police, Israel Ajao to take over the case and unravel the mystery surrounding the movement of the cash from Anambra State to Lagos.

The IGP˜s directive was also said to have been prompted by the fact that the contractor whom Governor Obi claimed owns the money never showed up at all stages of the discovery and the fact that Lagos state Police Command preliminary investigations revealed a case of money laundering against the Governor.

So far, sources at the Force headquarters said detectives will soon conclude their investigations into the matter based on the fact that Police authorities vowed to get to the root of the case without fear or favor.

Many of you urchins are ignorant. Obi came out after 10 years with third class. He then wanted to prove smart, he applied for online courses by Oxford and Garavard. Anybody can do the course online so long as you have the money to enroll. Go and check online for Oxford courses. There are many of them.

You people should stop thinking that rich business men can make the people of Nigeria rich. The goal of a business man is to take money from you to make themselves rich not the other way round

You think Atiku understands your struggles? You think Tinubu understand your problems? They don't! They have so much money and live so comfortably that the situation in Nigeria doesn't affect them at all

Why are they spending money anyhow to bribe people to vote for them? You think it's because they want to turn Nigeria around? Keep dreaming. In fact, all these bribes speak of their ill character that will only encourage corruption in Nigeria to continue

Peter Obi is a man of character and integrity. He's the kind of leader that Nigeria needs so badly
