we all know that money is gone https://t.co/quhO5sABMQ
Here are a few reactions by concerned Nigerians over the purported withdrawal of $1 Billion to fight Boko Haram.


  1. If we use $1BUSD from the excess crude oil account to fight Boko Haram, how much are we going to be needing to rebuild the whole nation?


  2. They have taken money (N360 BILLION ) for 2019 election from excess crude account.

    This story will die down in 2 weeks.

    Something will happen to distract all of you.

    RINSE AND REPEAT IN 4 YEARS.


  3. 1billion dollars withdrawal from the excess crude account by the FGN to fight boko haram?this sounds like a future Dasuki gate


  4. APC now taking 1Billion dollars from the Excess Crude oil account to fight Boko Haram.

    LMAO,
    1) I thought we defeated Boko Haram a long time?
    2) What's different now? Under GEJ, it was bad to touch Crude oil account. Now it's OK?

    Charlatans

    27th November - “Boko Haram have been degraded”.

    14th December- $1 billion released from excess oil account to fight Boko Haram.

    A degraded Boko Haram had become quite an expensive project within two weeks!

    Buhari led government will destroy Nigeria.

  6. I condemn in strongest terms the depletion of the Excess Crude Account 13 months to the 2019 elections.

    These items listed below could be funded via the MoD budget https://twitter.com/DonKlericuzio/status/941684791614869509 


  7. If Boko Haram has been "technically defeated" according to Buhari and his gang of criminals, why planning to take $1billion from excess crude account to "fight Boko Haram."?
    This to me is big fat stealing by tricks. Just gimme a damn break!


  8. But wait. The Buhari administration wants to take $1 Billion from the Excess Crude Account to fight Boko Haram? Was it not just weeks ago that they said Boko Haram is finished? Did they not say there were ‘technically defeated’? Who spends $1 billion on a finished defeated foe?


  9. With the FG taking $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to fight Boko Haram, it seems that Boko Haram have been ‘technically defeated’ but are financially undefeated!


  10. All of a sudden, the Excess Crude Account that the APC said was illegal under Jonathan has suddenly become legal enough under Buhari for the government to now withdraw $1 billion from it. These people have lied so much that they don’t know what is true or false anymore!


  11. One billion dollars to fight "remnants" that are "on the run" and are "willing to surrender?" Indeed, we are a nation that doesn't ask questions. We take anything that is thrown at us by those we call leaders. 


  12. $1 billion is to be taken from the badly depleted Excess Crude Account to "fight Boko Haram".

    This is a lie.

    The $1 billion will be used by Buhari and his APC to fight the 2019 presidential election and part of it will be shared between party leaders and the cabal.


  13. So the Buhari led government says its needs $1bn from our savings in the Excess Crude Account to fight an already defeated Boko Haram?

    WE HAVE SUFFERED IN THIS COUNTRY ðŸ¤£


  14. Our $1bn out of the total $2.317bn Excess Crude Account was approved today to fight Boko Haram in the northeast, the same Boko Haram that @MBuhari & @APCNigeria claimed to have defeated while the clean up of Ogoni where the crude comes from lies in limbo. Na wa for these guys o


  15. For posterity sake, I wish to place it on record that I was not among the governors, who approved the withdrawal of $1bn, almost half of our savings in the Excess Crude Account, which belongs to the three tiers of govt to fight an already defeated Boko Haram.


  16. For posterity sake, I wish to place it on record that I was not among the governors, who approved the withdrawal of $1bn, almost half of our savings in the Excess Crude Account, which belongs to the three tiers of govt to fight an already defeated Boko Haram.


  17. Since they said they have defeated Boko Haram, what else do they need a whopping sum of $1 billion (over N360 billion) for; if not to fund President Buhari's re-election in 2019?


  18. The APC promised to wipe out Boko Haram within six months, now it is 31 months and what the APC government is wiping out is the economy of Nigeria and the means of livelihood of the people.


  19. They told Nigerians that the decision to withdraw $1bn from the Excess Crude Account was taken by governors of the 36 States, whereas, it was solely the idea of the federal government, which they used the arranged National Executive Council meeting to achieve.


  20. The question is; how can the federal government alone spend almost half of the Excess Crude money that belongs to the three tiers of government (i.e. Federal Government, States and Local Councils)?


  21. The reality is that our treasury is daily being looted in readiness for the 2019 elections. Nigerians are therefore alerted to this lootings by the APC led FG to amass huge fund for the 2019 elections under the pretense of fighting Boko Haram as well as other dubious means.


  22. N360bn is equivalent to what the Federation Account Allocation Committee share to the FG, 36 States and 774 LGs monthly. Nigerians deserve proper explanations from the FG on the rationale behind spending such huge sum of money to fight an already defeated Boko Haram.





  23. Yes, shedding half of the Excess Crude Account 60 weeks from 2019 elections is suspicious http://nnd.ng/Q66clg  via ynaija
