Hello! Let’s Fight Passport Fraud
—

Nigerian public officials received a total of N400 billion as BRIBE btw 2015 & 2016 alone.

One major tool of extortion is the Nigerian Passport.

How much is the official price?

How much is black market rate(s)?

Why’s the passport important to you as a citizen?

How does the corruption surrounding getting one affect you?

The passport is a PROOF of your citizenship.

Paying bribe to get it is one of the reasons why the Nigerian passport is ranked as low as 42nd in (54 countries) Africa.
Here’s the main problem:

The Immigration [@nigimmigration] office is usually rowdy. This is fondly exploited by NIS officers to rip off desperate (and non-desperate) applicants.

One wonders: Why’s Nigeria in fight with technologies that can solve this problem 100%?

Corruption!
By perpetuating an industry of “black market passport,” @nigimmigration officers are not only ripping off Nigerians. They are also the reason behind the loss of confidence in public institutions and a failing country.

It’s time we changed!

2. Don’t encourage corruption by paying the unofficial price or lobbying.

BudgIT has urged the @MBuhari govt to dispose recovered assets in a transparent manner.

The best framework’s the enactment of the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) which has been passed by @NGRSenate but awaits passage by @HouseNGR. We’ve written to @YakubDogara for immediate action.
We’ve not seen increased interest by the FG to institutionalize the process of disposing of assets recovered as proceeds of crime.

The monthly publication of reports of the recovered assets and utilization, as provided by the OGP secretariat, stated that (next tweet).
An audit committee set up by @MBuhari is verifying all recovered assets. However, the committee report isn’t out yet. FG’s commitment to open govt means that information should be disclosed proactively; yet, vital information of recovered assets is not accessible to citizens.

How much is capital/recurrent expenditure?

How much are we spending on DEBT SERVICING?

Which sectors get major capital allocations?

Here’s the full breakdown of #2019Budget.

THREAD
For #2019Budget, FG projected revenue stands at N6.97 trillion. That’s highly ambitious.

NOTE: FG total revenue in 2017 was N2.65 trillion. As at the third quarter of 2018, the total inflow was 2.8trn.
Capital Expenditure constitutes 23% of the total expenditure in 2019 while the actual Capital spending in 2017 fiscal year hits a marked high of 22.8% performance.

Hello Nigerians, let’s talk about FUEL SUBSIDY!

• In 13 years, Nigeria spent at least N10 trillion on subsidy
• NNPC cabal possibly swallowed extra N11.8bn subsidy in June 2017
• Despite equalization subsidy, petrol is sold above N145/liter in some states

THREAD

#FixOurOil
Before we delve into the dilemma of Nigeria's subsidy regime, here's the country's profile:

#FixOurOil
At least N10 trillion has been spent on petrol subsidy from 2006 - 2018. This could fund the construction of 27,000MW of solar-powered electricity to create stable electricity.

Which would you prefer? Stable power supply or cheap fuel? Tell us in the comment section

Brexit's already having a massive impact on the UK, even ahead of our official departure from the EU. Here are 250+ fully-sourced examples of Brexit's effects. Jobs going, investment drying up, companies moving assets to the EU, or redomiciling. Project *fact* not project fear.
The Government has spent £4.2 billion pounds on Brexit preparations (£2.2 billion in previous Budgets, plus an additional £2 billion in the most recent Budget.) 1/254

EU citizens will be obliged to register to stay in the UK after Brexit (deadline is June 2021). The registration system, which cost the Government £175 million, will have to cope with over 3,500,000 applications, or several thousand a day on average. 2/254

Brexit already doing massive harm to the UK. Over 200 examples of job losses, lost investment, police & army prepping, companies moving assets to the EU or redomiciling. Meanwhile, the Government burns through £billions chasing a nutty no deal Brexit. Real life, not project fear!

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Barack Hussein Obama’s 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by Federal Election Commission for campaign reporting violations — one of largest fees ever levied against presidential campaign

Why was this Hidden from #WeThePeople?
👇This Thread explains👇
📢#RETWEET 📢
(2)Barack Hussein Obama fine — laid out in FEC documents that have — arose from an audit of campaign, which was published in April. Which was sent to Sean Cairncross, chief lawyer for RNC, one of groups that filed complaints about campaign’s FEC reporting from 2008
📢#RETWEET 📢
(3)“$375,000 is huge fine,” said Republican election lawyer Jason Torchinsky. “It may be one of their top five- or 10-largest fines”

But he added, “They’re also the first billion-dollar presidential campaign. Proportionally, it’s not out of line”
