toysleek: Very clearly illustrated and simplified by you. The wailers have refused to tell us what motivated governors to go to court over savings under GEJ. It all boils down to trust. When people were wondering why Nigerians did not pour out into the streets in demonstration against Buhari for trying to remove subsidy the way they did to GEJ, I told them that it is not the removal of the subsidy that Nigerians are against but that they feared that they could not trust GEJ as regards the integrity and honesty to judiciously use the proceeds, but could trust Buhari more on that. As a good leader rather than blame the governors for deprecating his proposal to save he should have tried to find out why they did not trust him. Once people trust a leader they hardly ever resist his suggestions even if harsh and unbearable. 3 Likes |

toysleek: Your analogy is based on incomplete information, to put it mildly. The JOINT Federation account is where subsidies are paid from hence the 36 state governors were pushing for its removal as far back as October 2011. Fact! Should you not ask yourself why the governors did not drag Jonathan to the Supreme Court if any tiny amount whatsoever was taken from the JOINT Federation account without following procedures? Should you not be asking that question Is that not what a RATIONAL fellow citizen should ask, instead of peddling RUMOURS and spreading PROPAGANDA with LIES ? www.nairaland.com/attachments/2606941_fuelsubsidygovernorssupport2011d_jpegc347aadcc28645a881c11e877b19ae27 1 Like 1 Share |

For the ultimate benefit of those who comment more from their bigoted sentiments than from good reasoning, please read: 1. Obasanjo left in the foreign reserves nearly $40 billion. It should have been more but for the deep seated corruption that he also ran. 2. Jonathan left in the foreign reserves $30 billion. 3. Jonathan created the Sovereign Wealth Fund to save up money from the excess crude earnings. 4. Governors insisted that the federal government cannot save on behalf of federating units. They headed to the supreme court and compelled the government to share the money instead of saving. 5. The minister of finance is an appointee of federal government. She can suggest measures to avert future economic crisis, but has no powers to compel the federating units if they fail to see reasons for saving their money. 6. We all have biases, nuances and differences. Those who comment from their reservoir of ethnic hatred without looking at the truth always catch the tiger by the tail. Finally, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is human, like us all. She has her personal issues to contend with but some people want her to heal the personal issues they have in their own lives. However, she is too good for most of her traducers. Whenever she replies them, they keep quite (ask Oshoiomhole). It is fashionable for losers to throw tantrums up at her but it will take some generations for her critics to produce someone of her class. We still have a minister for finance. What is going on there? Follow this link from vanguard and get the gist: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/05/sovereign-wealth-fund-govs-ask-s-court-to-abort-fgs-plan-to-withdraw-2bn/ |

Kenobus: And the simple question still remains, why didn't the federal government save its own share of the excess crude account? They got 52% of the money, if saving is a top priority to GEJ and NOI, they would have saved what they got. Blaming the governors who got a paltry 48% for their inability to save is the height of irresponsibility. 2 Likes |

I had to quote you because you said, FG invested the money in those areas you listed above, right? So where are the proceeds from the investment? And what are the physical evidence that the money was invested, our rails are still in shambles, roads are still a death trap, no generated job, no saved money, nothing!

anonimi: Unfortunately GEJ himself never kept this same OBJ at a distance till he had done irreparable damage to his regime's image. Imagine GEJ, in his very first post-swearing in public speech, saying "OBJ left some positive legacies which I will follow after in my regime". That was when the $16bn power sector fraud by OBJ was already making the news as disclosed by GEJ's own immediate predecessor and boss-Yaradua. I kept wondering what positive legacy GEJ saw in a man who promised to give us stable electricity within 18 months but ended up spending $16bn after 96 months (8 years) to give us stable darkness. Even the Yaradua whom OBJ directly and single handedly placed in power distanced himself from OBJ throughout his 2.5 year reign. But the GEJ whose rise to power could not be directly credited to OBJ started glorifying OBJ on assumption of office. It was at that moment I realized that GEJ was going to be very weak and naïve and that his government was going to be like that of Shagari where the head was acting as the legs. |

Deadlytruth: As IBB said Jonathan was politically "inexperienced" but administratively very "competent". In addition, he is an exemplary democrat, something that our fellow citizens are not ready for. Overall, he remains the best president we ever had. |

winterfell007:Really? If you wasted your school fees on other things other than getting your mind intellectually uplifted, that does not give you the right to force your idi.ocy on some of us. How was Obasanjo able to save? Why did the governors (who were PDP majority by the way) decide to have their own share? What did Jonathan and NOI do with the reported 52% share the FG was entitled to? If you and your fellow sharers and likers cannot answer these basic questions, then shut the Bleep up and let us hear. All i see is verbal gymnastics from a so-called assistant that haven't done anything to clarify the facts which still remain that Jonathan the mor0n did not save. If he had any political will to save, the governors would not be forced to take the FG to court. Which brings me back to my first question on how Obasanjo was able to save and how he was able to achieve that. But I don't expect you and your gang of brainless twerps to get the picture, given that your tongues are on GEJs butt 24/7 The only will Jonathan had was to loot and share the contents of the coffers with his friends and militants. |
