Vogue50: As Chief Security Officer, the governor should have the final say on security matters in his area of juridiction but that is not the case, so he is not stupid. Section 215 of the Constitution says (3) The President or such other Minister of the Government of the Federation as he may authorise in that behalf may give to the Inspector-General of Police such lawful directions with respect to the maintenance and securing of public safety and public order as he may consider necessary, and the Inspector-General of Police shall comply with those direction or cause them to be compiled with. |

Idileke: Less than 24 hours after the kidnap of Muiba, wife to Osun State House of Assembly Speaker, Mr. Najeem Salaam, her abductors have demanded N200m ransom for her release. @bolded. Is she using government official vehicle to run her private shop? In what capacity. I dont get it. |

burgerking: http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/newcastles-muslim-stars-told-play-new-kit-070006117.html?nc The several people and the MPs referred to in the bolded portion of the article are definitely not all Muslims. Level of reasoning on NL is surely going south very fast. 1 Like |

Sky Blue: That is the problem that the national assembly is having with the operation of excess crude account. You will notice that national assembly turned blind eye to the operation of that account when OBJ introduced it without the backing of the law because then, it was truly excess. The revenue was far higher than the budgeted expenditure and since the constitution does not make express provision for savings (all monies in federation account must be shared (read spent)), the only means of circumventing that was to under-declare revenue. Now this has been bastardized. Budgeted expenditure are deliberately made to be more than gross revenue yet govt wants to create the impression of saving by still under-declaring revenue and call it excess and at the same time borrow with interest to finance the deficit gap. Recourse are made to excess crude fund even when oil price was not below the benchmark as had happened many times in the early life of this administration. The executive both at federal and states love this arrangement because it is a sort of extra-budgetary expenditure and still go ahead to borrow to finance the approved budget. |

Sky Blue: But in all seriousness the House of Assembly must be fought on their attempts to increase the oil benchmark. What are they going to do with the extra money and does more money automatically mean increased implementation? We need to start actually putting more money in our savings acount as a nation and increasing oil benchmark works against that. Again, what do they want to do with the extra money? They should be setting target of 85 percent implementation and working hard towards helping government achieve that, not worrying about oil benchmark, wetin consain dem? The tragedy is in fighting without a cause. You asked what are the legislators going to do with the 'extra' money. There is no extra money . The budget is a deficit budget. Higher expenditure than the projected revenue which is to be financed by borrowing. What the legislators are asking for is that the deficit gap be reduced by increasing the benchmark by $5/barrel instead of transferring the artificial excess to excess crude account which will be spent without recourse to the national assembly and at the same time borrowing to finance the approved budget. With this adjustment, the deficit has been reduced from N1.3trillion to N0.6trillion. This means only about N600 billion will be borrowed now instead of almost double that amount. CBN and finance ministry have been speaking grammar on the advantages of saving and borrowing at the same time as opposed to the assembly stand of reduced saving and reduced borrowing. Afterall na person wey chop bellyful dey save excess. |

Given that the much of the flood happened in September and the president had made a national broadcast on october 1st in which he surprisingly left out the issue of the flood; better strategy would have been presidential visit(s) to flood ravaged areas where he would simply announce the package. BTW, what is the source of funds that he announced. If it is not already budgeted for, when will the national assembly approve the supplementary budget for the disbursements to be made in time? |

Two things hit me in the face in the original post 1. So Isreal has nuclear reactor. Why has it been denying being a nuclear power? And why doesnt it want other nations e.g Iran to also have it? At least let violence be democratised so that there will be counter-balance of terror 2. If Isreal is as powerful as being peddled by gullible Nigerians, why does it need Almighty USA to protect its tiny land which is less than the size of the smallest state in Nigeria? Why maintain permanent defence pact with US? Against who? I was on some Israelis' english blogs regarding this drone issue. Funnily Nigerians appear to delude themselves more about Isreal's invincibility than Isrealis themselves. 1 Like |

In the UN hall, all seats are allocated to countries in alphabetical order. You dont just sit anywhere you like. If a side show many empty seats as in GEJ's picture, it can be taken as true representative sample of the the whole hall 1 Like |

Duke of garri: Obj was not the one who took the case to court. Cameroon did in 1996 under Abacha regime. Since Abacha regime agreed to the jurisdiction of the ICJ and the case continued under Abdulsalaam, obasanjo had no alternative but to inherit the case. Unfortunately, judgement was given during his tenure which was unfavorable, but he had to carry the can. Nigeria really had no choice but to accept the judgement. To do otherwise would have made us aggressor (with all the diplomatic implication) since Cameroon is now backed by an international judgement. If we intended fighting it out, we should have rejected the jurisdiction of ICJ when cameroon dragged us there in 1996 under Abacha. |

Why is comprehension so difficult for us? The bbc reporter attributed BH problem to "internal elements" - lack of education, unemployment, etc. Obj said he agreed with him to some extent but as far as he is concerned, those are remote causes not the main cause 3 Likes |

omasogood: is this really a minister?are u sure she's not a lifeless doll baby with literally no brains?by saying it was a mistake suspending DANA's license,she has inadvertently given dem garlic HEADs the go ahead to sue the government's ass for loss of income due to the unfair suspension of their license! At bolded, when ADC airline flight from port-harcourt crashed in Lagos in late 90s killing some of the best Niger delta had to offer, what did Niger deltans do? I however agreed with your first paragraph that the minister should have been more circumspect in admitting the error. She could have said that the normal practice in case of crash is to ground similar aircrafts for inspection to ascertain that the crash was not due to systemic error in the aircraft type. Since Dana fleet consist of only the same type of aircraft, they fell below the minimal threshold of number of aircrafts an airline needs to operate in Nigeria hence their suspension. |

ndu_chucks: At the very least, these people, from the National Identity Management Commission need to be brought to NASS for query: No. The bribe was given during the defunct national civic registration department era in the early 2000. Two ministers Shata and Afolabi were charged to court for the bribe. Afolabi died during the trial while the court later discharged Shata for lack of diligent prosecution. |

Why do I think it is your husband instigating the girls to bring the affairs to your attention to push you out since he feels you wont jump on your own? If one wears a ring regularly, it leaves mark on the ring finger even if removed. How can they all claim that they didn't know his marital status? |

Since the president only need to inform the parliament if he is going on leave not when he is going on state visits, I think he was coming to see T.B. Joshua not GEJ. I learnt he was a member of the synagogue |

^^^ you don't need a token to do online transaction on third parties websites but you will need it if you want to transact with the bank itself especially if it involves third party. For example, if you are buying air ticket online on an airline website, token will not be asked for because the platform used eg inter switch, etranzact etc, does not have the token generated numbers on its database to compare. However, if you want to transfer money online from your account to a third party account on your bank's website, token will be required. 1 Like |

Salami named names. Where did it land him? And where did the accused land? How have you been able to help Salami out of the consequence of opening his mouth a bit too wide? Not all accusation can stand the technicalities in the court of law even when it is true. |

martinosi: Okonjo-Iweala will soon be removed from office never to take a political Sorry you are too late. Walmat only announced its presence in Nigeria not that it is coming. It is the parent company of Game store. Its logo is now placed side by side that of Game just like Spar entered Nigeria through Park & Shop. The difference you will start noticing from next year is rapid expansion of its branch network unlike now that it is limited to Lagos and Enugu only |
