Nigerian politicians are thieves. Do not let those fools fool you with their big agbada, suits and ties. They do not know how to make anything work other than stealing, all they ever know in life is stealing and nothing else. If stealing is a God given talent, then its ok but if God does not permit stealings evil. They will all pay for it one day. Their days are coming up very fast watch. They forget that they will be gone with nothing in thier graves with them but by themselves & God who will question them on what they did while on earth with his given resources. Be rest asured they all belong to hell fire.

Its highly appalling and shocking for Nigeria to use such colossal sum of money just to furnish a building the cost of the building itself is left to be imagined..Its such wickedness and heartlessness, ASUU is presently on strike with the attendant mortgaging of the lives of our future leaders, nurses and doctors in all federal hospitals are also presently on strike with attendant loss of lives. The Apapa oshodi expressway is a total disaster, PHCN or NEPA or whatever its called is in commatose. This bunch of criminals and demons have the effrontery to award a contract of 4billion for furniture..Its only a revolution that can salvage Nigeria from this group of occultic imbeciles

3.9B naira for furnishing?Sorry for Nigeria..We are talking about close to US$33m in Nigeria where labour and materials are cheap.Even in industrialised expensive countries,that money will build and furnish a tip top mansion or modest office building.I blame former president Obasanjo for all these rubbish,he rigged Yaradua in office,I think he obviously knew the guy was not up to the task of making any impact in the course of his service.If you ask me to access him,I will say his 2yrs in office is a complete waste and I think his university education was a sham,just listen when he talks,he doesn’t sound like an educated man.

paul omon I could not but agree with you more. I am not surprised really about this….national assembly for instance took out N6b from hospital and education which was part of the FCT budget to allocate to a line item in 2009 budget to have contract awarded to expand the airport road which is fine as it is, to 10 lane-drive. if you dont have healthy educated people …can they drive on the roads. its unfortunate that our government have misplaced areas that should be their priority. N4b is what we have spent on petrol subsidies for two years I am told…that is the equivalent being spent on furnishing a building…..when people are dying everyday in the hospitals. God we help us that is my only consolation!!! May God Almighty help to change the leaders of this country which should stand out in Africa. see Ghana….which is fast developing (a good sign that they are heading on the right path is the visit of Barack Obama)…it might be Ghana’s turn soon to say “NIGERIA MUST GO”.

When we cannot pay the allowances of our diplomats abroad-south africa pays-its foreign service officers well and ahead of time-ours is always filled with stories of delays from Central Bank-still, -it was very unthinking of Dora to have come out with this announcement-what concerns us is our roads-security, education and health facilities-not Siemems sponsored G8 summit-or African Union town hall meeting-that will not bring light or create jobs-for-Nigerians–no accountability-whatsoever-to her citizens-its oil money so /chop and quench/ soon another oil well will be discovered-

i weep for our dear country. We are keen on impressing people from outside, when the common man here is dieing of hunger. Such policies are not good for us now. That money can make a big change in the various ailing sectors. God touch their heart please

It is most unfortunate that this present adminstration is not different from the previous governments we have had in this country. How can Yar ‘Adua’s government sincerely justify a colossal sum of 4billion naira, to furnish one building. Are the furnitures made of pure gold ? This shameful announcement is coming at the hills of the nation-wide strike by most Nigerian universities. If that amount of money were used to finance our universities, would the the lecturers go on strike ? When shall Nigerin leaders choose their priorities right ? Besides, the present President of Nigeria is a graduate and should have known the essence of adequately funding universities, in order to enable them to produce the caliber of graduates, that can match other graduates in other parts of the world. Is the hosting of AU members more important than the future of our children ? Is this contract not too over-laden because of corruption? If this money had been invested in the establishment of only one Bituminous Plant to refine the bituminous deposites in Ondo and Edo States, would it not have created employment to over thirty thousand Nigerians ? Where are the thinking caps of Nigerian leaders ? Do Nigerian leaders ever listen to the voice of world leaders, like President Barak Obama, advicing African leaders to do away with corruption, so as to attract foreign investments to their countries, for the development of their respective countries and create employment opportunities for their citizens? This awful and shameful contract shows that Nigeria is systematically swimming into the deep blue sea of corruption, instead of seeking the path of rectitude, probity, accountability and honesty. I pray, may God send to Nigeria, a purposeful leader, who shall be honest, who shall have vision, good plan and who have the interest of Nigerinas at heart, in Jesus name I pray, Amen. Jacob Osawe.

Sorry guys, you are all complaining for nothing. Nobody is listening to you. They are deaf and it is Ojo Madueke’s turn to chop so I don’t know what you guys are on about. Wetin concern YarAdua and Ojo Madueke with unemployed youths? If you are unemployed nko? That’s your fucking problem. Hospital? You guys ask for too much. If you sick, go to chemist or native doctor or drink your urine. There are two sides to the Nigerian coin, the leaders and the rest of us. So wetin concern agero with overload. Yaradua has no time for you let alone Goodluck who is in politics to make it. They are spending 4billion for furnishing..Yeah right. Let independent auditors go and access the furniture whether it is up to 1billion naira. Let them keep stealing. They will live for ever and take the money with them to hell.

Need I say more; Bunch of functional educated corrupt illiterates running this country. A conference that will last less than two weeks will cost the nation 4 billion naira. You see, this is an easy way out to perpetuate CORRUPTION; untraceable expenditures. Quick fixes leading to wastes.
