  12. Why not use this money to reactivate DSC and create employment than waste it. What happened to the furniture that Dr Jonathan used. Can Buhari as an individual afford to change his furniture at a time when his revenue is low.

  14. Can somebody tell me what are they renovating and maintaining every year? Are they expanding Aso Rock or what?? 270millions for vice president 2 bed room duplex with 90million for a mosque and 88million for a mosque attached to the building. How are you fighting corruption and misappropriation of find when you are the worst spender. Do you know how many factories and industries that could be built and revive with those billions? Nigerians wake up to the challenge. Enough is enough.
