Nigerians React To Buhari's N3.6 BILLION BMW Cars For Aso Rock In 2016.

By
As details of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ‘Budget of Change’ for 2016 continue to emerge, the backlash from Nigerians is increasing.
A breakdown of the 2016 budget presented by the President to the National Assembly, last week, reveals that a whooping sum of N3.6 billion has been earmarked for the purchase of BMW cars for Aso Rock.
As hardship bites and Nigeria’s economy shrinks in the face of falling oil revenues, Nigerians are not impressed with the stupendous conspicuous consumption spending by the Federal Government.
Here are some tweets expressing the views of Nigerians on the “frivolous” expense line.

Obasanjo's Plans for ING

By Author
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has set his mind on regime change “by fair or foul means” and is plotting to plunge Nigeria into crisis, presidential spokesman Reuben Abati has said. He was reacting to statements credited to Obasanjo on Saturday that President Goodluck Jonathan was plotting to win the 2015 general election by “hook or crook”. Obasanjo had endorsed Jonathan’s main challenger Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, but then seemed to backtrack on Thursday. There are insinuations that Obasanjo is not well disposed to Buhari either and would want an interim national government (ING) to be headed by him to midwife new elections in which neither Jonathan nor Buhari would be candidates.

Though you are from the North of OUR country you are president of all. How is it that violence and deaths still hold sway? 'My hope and prayer was that on your ascension you would deploy our military with fiat and alacrity armed to the teeth and silence or at least contain Boko Haram. My prayer was that as a seasoned General you would not only flush out king pins and barons but retrieve the loot as you napped them one after the other but we see them working for you. Is th...
