Wow! Thats great. There is no corruption in this government.
ReplyDeleteLol, no corruption at all. Our president intergrity can never be found in anywhere. See how he's making good use of government funds diligently. Kudo Buhari, May whatever you have planned, wished and done to this country always be your portion and that of your followers. Jonathan, na him eat all Nigeria money including this one they budgeted for travelling. Una doh
DeleteDiaspora president. Mr intergrity. No wonder you want come second term. Chai.
ReplyDeleteSai Baba. Baba needs to eat in other to fight corruption... Side eyes
ReplyDeleteNothing new.
ReplyDeleteHe calls one malam and gives him that quantract and he is rich. Chikina.
He is so intensely skinny, what does he eat to cost even a tenth of that budget.
ReplyDeleteJonathan spent more than that on feeding..check budgets during his tenure. I will advice you to stay away from politics. Let them do their advert and stay neutral. It will affect you, I'm serious. Politics is dirty!!!
ReplyDeleteYou gat it all wrong. She quoted her source -Punch.
DeleteClassical journalism. If she does not inform us, how shall we know what's happening in the government.
How will the leaders be held accountable?
Let the "Pederal quavanment go and arrest Funch"
I will advise you to stay away from her blog if what she posts are offensive to you.
DeleteStill shouting Jonathan 4 years later ...Una nor dey tire?
😂😂😂😂 i wonder.
DeleteHow dare you faceless anonymous?! She reported a news from lunch and you are telling her to stay away from such an important issue. If this money is used wisely do you think we will have all this hunger and pain in this country?! Is Jonathan still President ?! Just because you’re benefiting from this useless government you don’t care about the suffering of the millions of your country men!
DeleteJonathan didn’t perform and was voted out, if Buhari wants to be a hypocrite and perform worse and use ‘Jonathan did it too’ as his defense then he needs to go.
What is he eating and why does he need to spend so much travelling??? All the travelling he did since 2015 hasn’t helped the life of Nigerians in any way
Nigeria can never be redeemed with things like this. When you see the amount budgeted and no work to show for such money disburted, then you will understand the potable condition we are in.
ReplyDelete*pitiable*
DeleteThis means your president and his family consumes 89,777 naira per meal. Mr Humility and simplicity.
ReplyDeleteAfter that outlandish outlay on the clinic, one simple headache comes, they are end route to the USA for checkup.
Nonsense.

ReplyDeleteAfter that outlandish outlay on the clinic, one simple headache comes, they are en route to the USA for checkup.
Nonsense.
Okay
ReplyDeleteAll this money can pay workers and end strike ni....innit
ReplyDeleteIs this not wickedness?
ReplyDeleteAll these allocations are for the impending elections. They just disguised the lot so it doesn't look like it was used on their campaign and apparent rigging of the elections.
ReplyDeleteLet them continue deceiving the masses and amassing wealth.
Let's be kind to one another.
They shld just kuku kill us
ReplyDeleteMy Lord!
ReplyDeleteCan u imagine that! Yet am here looking for just 100,000 to boost my little biz but all to no avail.
ReplyDeleteThe DBN Loan they ar shouting about on social network is a scam.. This country tire me abeg..
Wehdone to Buhari. Sir, you need to visit UAE and see what they call good leader. I read his book where he said his first priority is his people, his second priority is his people and his third priority is his people. For our leader their first to last priority is themselves. May God take away the peace of all those troubling this nation.
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely wrong for the country to provide food for the President, after providing health insurance, free accommodation and free rides. What are we paying him salary for ? If all he does is to be catered for while making ridiculous decision that has put the country in total abyss.
ReplyDeleteEven the American Presidential system that we emulate doesn't include the President's feeding in their budget. He feeds himself from the salary he's being paid. Our inept law makers needs to address this.
See why NLC is insisting on 30k minimum wage
ReplyDeleteThe President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, needs to pay for his own food. They copy good things from foreign countries. Why not copy the good too. Mr. President, please pay for you and you your family’ Meals.
ReplyDeleteWhat a waawu 🙄🙄🙄

ReplyDeleteOnly d president's food budget is more than that of education
ReplyDeleteIt is well with us.
