Corruption Perception: Goodluck Jonathan Versus Bola Tinubu by Nobody: 11:40am On Apr 20, 2013
Who is perceived to be corrupt between Goodluck Jonathan (President of Federal Republic) and Bola Tinubu (Leader of ACN/APC)? I attempted an objective assessment using Google. I did separate search on Google with both names and the keywords- loot and thief.

The first five search results for "Tinubu Thief Loot" on Google are:

1 The Looting Of Lagos State- THE WILL
27/11/2012
http://thewillnigeria.com/politics/17289.html
(In summary the article suggests the person Tinubu is a looter and thief)

(Not about looting)

On the other hand, the first five search results for "Goodluck Jonathan Thief Loot" on Google are:

1 CRIME NIGERIA PLC
March 2013
http://nigeriaworld.com/feature/publication/babsajayi/031513.html
(In summary the article is about corruption in Nigeria and inability of the govt to curb corruption. Nothing to suggest the person Goodluck Jonathan is a thief or looter)

2 Nigeria: Fresh Abacha loot, baby thieves, looming power and fuel scarcity reported
April 2013
http://www.afriquejet.com/news/5310-nigeria-fresh-abacha-loot-baby-thieves-looming-power-and-fuel-scarcity-reported.html

If GEJ is not the most corrupt Nigerian politician, then he'll be the most catastrophically stupiid politician for allowing a corrupt opposition leader roam free from arrest and prosecution with his cavalier attitude and unmitigated footdragging towards the fight against corruption. Tinubu is corrupt, but the grand larceny(in trillions of naira) going on in this government is moving on a superhighway with him(GEJ) unashamedly superintending and directing the traffic!

Unfortunately, many people believe Tinubu is looting the treasury of Lagos and perhaps other southwest states under ACN control. The articles above were written by concerned stakeholders who believe Tinubu is a thief and looter. They were not written by me. That Tinubu has not been prosecuted so far does not exonerate him from those weighty allegations. Perhaps his cronies in Lagos and other affected states have so far succeeded in closing his tracks. Tinubu's foot solders will not remain in power for ever. When the tide turns, 'fowl yansh' will be fully exposed.

Again, the logic that because President Jonathan is unable to bring corrupt Tinubu to justice makes the president automatically corrupt is SENSELESS. A police man cannot be regarded as a criminal simply because he has been unable to apprehend a suspected criminal. Yes, the police has the responsibility to apprehend criminals but the police must have a water tight case against any criminal before moving against the criminal. Otherwise, the case will crumble in court. The same applies to suspected looter/thief like Tinubu. Moreover any clamp down on Tinubu without something concrete will be termed political persecution

Yes, there's is corruption but atleast the corruption is DEMOCRATISED, unlike what happened in the era of military dictatorship when ONE MAN decides who gets what and uses the gun to SHARE national resources at his whims and caprices.

For instance, Fashola is looting (with the help of Tinubu) and working, Oshiomole is stealing and working, GEJ is stealing and working, Akpabio is looting and working, Peter Obi is stealing and working and so on and so forth.

The MOST IMPORTANT thing is that WORK is going on EVERYWHERE and the persons appropriating or stealing/looting the resources are elected/selected from among the people in that locality, unlike before

The billionaire Tinubu is richer than GEJ close to 20 times. Recently, his supporters denied that he is not the owner of the multi billion naira Ikeja Shoprite but we all know the truth. He should be rotting in jail if not for the porous judicial system in Nigeria.

One of his supporters from Lagos told me the man has paid his dues as he spent his last kobo during the NADECO struggle with Abacha and so should be allowed to loot. For God's sake, can you imagine the reasoning of some of my brothers here in South West? ACN are looting our treasury massively, building mansions for themselves and cronies while blindfolding us with media propaganda about how they are performing and one dude is there trying hard to justify the loot.

Tinubu’s Massive Looting Of Lagos Uncovered…The Chagoury, Remi Tinubu Connection

The massive looting of Lagos state by the Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reached monumental proportion. Tinubu whose companies recently conered a multi billion road construction job in Ogun State, has in his pocket all the juicy contract in all the Action Congress’ states.
In retrospect, it might be difficult to come to terms with the fact that an individual could hold the entire south west to ransom. There is no doubt that Tinubu has succeeded in buying the Lagos State government, and he has done this using government funds.
.
Whenever someone in Lagos begins to wonder where their 4th mainland bridge went, or what was the fate of the pipe-borne water project, or even where the schools and hospitals had vanished to, there is a silence that contains it all. The largest landlord in Lagos has done as he has pleased, and the rest of the state just has to deal with it. For instance: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.
Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.
The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.
The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.
The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.
The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.
The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.
While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.
The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion Naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.
Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:
• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.
• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million
• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion
• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.
• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.
Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.
Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.
It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.
Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.
Tinubu solely sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.
Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.
Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.
Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.
The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.
Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own.
Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for “jobs well done” or for being privy to sensitive information, notably:
(a) Dele Alake, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, was sold a whole house on Alexander Road, Ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a give-away price.
(b) Rauf Aregbesola, Osun State Governor, who was a former Commissioner in Lagos as well as Muiz Banire, also a former commissioner, got detached houses at Ladoke Akintola Street, GRA Ikeja for their “good job” while serving under Tinubu.
(c) Yemi Cardoso and Wale Edun, both former commissioners, were sold houses on Iru Close, and another location in old Ikoyi at give-away prices by Tinubu.

^An analogy for "dummies." Is this suppose to explain, or worse excuse GEJ's inability to bring criminal elements to justice? You believe that the allegations made against him needs to be thoroughly investigated yet GEJ and his Voltrons have not been able to conclude investigation even with all the articles they spam online accusing him of owning the entire SW? They have not been able to prosecute him even if it'll be a one-count charge against him in the court of law! The truth is "Ole no dey catch Ole", a thieving Jonathan would never prosecute Tinubu even if he has all the evidence to do so cos he(GEJ) is also corruption personified! For the mere fact that you chose to make comparison between a GEJ and Tinubu shows that you've identified them both with monumental thievery, but you only intend to know who is more corrupt between the two!

1. How possible it is for a non public official to steal public funds?

2. The constitutional obligation to fight crime and corruption doesn't rest with the people of Lagos state, that's the responsibly of your incompetent and worthless uncle in abuja aka Reterdeen.

3. Also, with all their crime fighting agencies and instruments of government, your masters in Abuja went down this road already from OBJ to Reterdeen, they hunted him for years and end up putting him on trial, but they not only didn't find anything to pin on him, the end up displaying their own incompetency, judicial fraud and lack of prudence and governmental judgement.


It was obvious that your uncles looked for over a decade and found nothing incriminating to hang on him so why go on the same foolish and pointless errand like hour masters.?

Normally I ignore your goofy trash, but this is just for fun and to show how retarded you get sometimes just like your abuja uncles.

The answer is so simple. They are all lies from the pit of hell. Of course, that is what PDP and people like you want so that you can "capture" Lagos.

My own simple logic is, if Obasanjo, the then president when Tinubu was Governor, the greatest enemy of Tinubu could not get anything to prosecute him and rubbish his political career. They looked for everything (home and abroad) they found nothing. At the National Assembly in 2006 or 2007 Ribadu who was EFCC Chairman listed many governors who were facing prosecution said Tinubu's case is still under investigation because the allegation is of international dimension.

They wrote to the FBI, other security agencies in US and various banks he was operating when he was in US but could not lay hands on anything. The best PDP could do in 2012 was that he was still operating offshore bank accounts while he was governor. Even with this, the case was so poor that the judge struck off the case for lack of diligence in prosecution. This were accounts that were dormant (not active) throughout his 8 year term as governor.

EFCC had unfettered access to any State Govt. accounts so what is PDP controlled EFCC is waiting for. You only prosecute him on the pages of newspapers and social media outlets like Nairaland just like what you have been commissioned to do.

It is on record that this man was already a millionaire before he came into politics full-time during the later days of IBB era in the early 1990s. He was a financier of Lagos chapter of PDM group that brought Agbalajobi and Sarumi of those days. This man already owned choice property in Lagos at that time. Even in exile as NADECO member he was assisting people both home and abroad to fight Abacha.

I don't know Tinubu and I have not met him before in my life. I will also want to state that I am not a politician and I am not a card carrying member of any political group though I am a keen observer of political developments in Nigeria and I tend to have respect for Tinubu because of his POLITICAL SAGACITY.

A man of that level don't need to personally use $2 billion to do birthday. I mean he doesn't need to spend a kobo from his purse to do birthday. Just the same way I don't expect GEJ to personally spend a kobo to do his birthday. People around them will compete to do that. For example, I read it that during Tinubu's birthday, the popular Tasty Fried Chicken eatry outlet was the one that supplied food to guests. Do you think the proprietor of the eatry will collect kobo from Tinubu? They've known each other from their days in Chicago and for friendship and political patronage sake I believe he/she will not collect a dime from him.

Anyway my friend, be sincere to yourself. Tinubu is not a saint but one thing I know is that Tinubu is not what you people in PDP call him. And he is head and shoulder better than GEJ in terms of political sagacity.

Akpangbon: Tinubu’s Massive Looting Of Lagos Uncovered…The Chagoury, Remi Tinubu Connection

The massive looting of Lagos state by the Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has reached monumental proportion. Tinubu whose companies recently conered a multi billion road construction job in Ogun State, has in his pocket all the juicy contract in all the Action Congress’ states.
In retrospect, it might be difficult to come to terms with the fact that an individual could hold the entire south west to ransom. There is no doubt that Tinubu has succeeded in buying the Lagos State government, and he has done this using government funds.
.
Whenever someone in Lagos begins to wonder where their 4th mainland bridge went, or what was the fate of the pipe-borne water project, or even where the schools and hospitals had vanished to, there is a silence that contains it all. The largest landlord in Lagos has done as he has pleased, and the rest of the state just has to deal with it. For instance: Number 4, Oyinkan Abayomi (formerly Queens) Drive, Ikoyi: A 5-bedroom detached house on one acre of land which was originally the Lagos State Governor’s guest house since 1979, but which now belongs to Tinubu. The certificate of occupancy of the property valued at N450 million was signed and released to him by Fashola in 2007 shortly after he assumed office.
Tinubu’s residence at 26 Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi was initially falsely presented as Oando Plc Guest House. Later, he purportedly bought it from Oando, and used public funds to rebuild and renovate it. The Lagos State Government bought the property and paid an undisclosed sum to him and thereafter gave the property back to him under the bogus Pension Bill he signed to law shortly before he left office in 2007. The property is worth over N600 million.
The annex of the Lagos State Guest House in Asokoro, Abuja was bought by the State Government in 2006 for N450 million, purportedly to protect the main house from security breach. Shortly after Tinubu left office, the property was transferred to him under the pension plan he signed into law before leaving office.
The 250-hectare land valued at about N35billion and strategically located at the Ajah junction on Lekki Road was initially meant for a General Hospital for the people of Eti-Osa Local Government but was stolen by Tinubu and handed over to Trojan Estate Ltd – a company owned by Deji and Wale Tinubu – to develop as Royal Garden Housing Estate at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.
The 1,000 hectares of land valued at about N75billion located at Lakowe near Abijo at Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Lekki Concession Company (LCC) which is partly- owned by Tinubu and Fashola and being developed as golf course and housing estate by Assets and Resource Management Ltd (ARM) as ADIVA project.
The prime land of 157 hectares with 2.5km of Atlantic beachfront valued at about N10billion and stolen by Tinubu from the communities of Siriwon, Igbekodo, Apakin, etc in Ibeju-Lekki Local Government and given to Ibukun Fakeye – his crony to build a golf course and luxury villa with little or no compensation to the villagers. In addition, Tinubu paid $20million (N3billion) out of public treasury to Ibukun Fakeye to commence the project in late 2006. Fashola has since released additional funding for this project, which is not owned by the state government.
The 14-hectare Parkview Ikoyi Estate foreshore land reclaimed by Lagos State Government is now owned by Bola Tinubu.
While in office, he allocated to himself the former Strabag yard beside the Lagos State Secretariat at Alausa, Ikeja. The property is now being developed into a shopping mall as big as the Palms in Lekki. This is public property brazenly stolen and now owned by Tinubu, aided by Fashola.
The choice property at Lekki-Epe road on which he built and owns the multi-billion Naira Oriental Hotel and the extension of multi-storey car park beside it. Also, the multi-level recreation centre by Mobil in Oniru Estate on Lekki-Epe road jointly owned with ARM and Tunji Olowolafe. All these assets valued at over N25billion were obtained without paying a kobo to the Lagos State Government.
Tinubu and Fashola sold the following prime Lagos properties to their personal friend and front – Prince Dipo Eludoyin at very ridiculous prices:
• The 3.8-hectare of land of Lagos State Fisheries office in VI (beside the Institute of Oceanography) valued at N3billion.
• The fishery landing jetty at Badore (where the Ilubirin fishermen were to be relocated) valued at N500million
• The entire Ogudu foreshore scheme initially earmarked for a low-cost housing scheme valued at N5billion
• The Ilubinrin housing estate (which used to house Lagos state civil servants and judges up till 2007) valued at N2.5billion.
• The former Julius Berger yard at Oko Orisan, Epe valued at N450million.
Tinubu raised a loan of N4.7billion on Eko Akete project for which nothing was achieved before he turned around to sell the property to his Chagouri friends of Chagouri & Chagouri and Hitech Construction Ltd at a ridiculously low price at the expense of the taxpayers of Lagos.
Tinubu applied to personally purchase the Federal Secretariat building while in office. When he couldn’t get to buy it, he directed Fashola to stop the eventual owner of the complex to develop it. The complex is presently wasting away courtesy of the Lagos State Government.
It took several months of horse trading and underhand payments before Fashola could allow the new owners of 1004 flats to redevelop the complex. Several other buyers of Federal Government properties and developers of properties in Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Government Reservation Area Ikeja were forced to succumb to the outrageous demands of Tinubu, Fashola, Commissioner Abosede and other officials of the Lagos State Physical Planning Ministry and were made to pay ridiculous amounts to private accounts before their redevelopments were approved. Those who refused or were unable to pay could not develop their properties. This is a major economic strangulation of property developers and has contributed largely to the skyrocketing rent in Ikoyi, VI and Lekki axis.
Tinubu converted all the plots of land where Lagos Polytechnic was located at Ikosi near the old toll gate. He chased away the Polytechnic in 2006 and went ahead to locate the choice plots to himself, his cronies and political associates. The headquarters of Television Continental (TVC), which is owned by him, is located there. He deprived the youths of Lagos of decent education because of his greed.
Tinubu solely sold the prime land on Aboyade Cole, Victoria Island which was recovered from some allotees, to UACN Properties Plc. The amount of proceeds was shrouded in secrecy.
Eludoyin, fronting for Tinubu, built the estate directly opposite Goshen Beach Estate in Lekki area.
Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu, built the massive New Era Foundation youth camp at the junction of Eleko, off the Lekki-Epe express road, with Lagos State funds and has now converted it to personal use.
Tinubu owns the Fara Park Estate and the Beach Wood Estate both in Lekki.
The Critical Care unit at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) in Ikeja, built and equipped with state funds, is now owned personally by Tinubu. He has put one Dr. Sikiru Tinubu, (a supposed cousin of his) to run the outfit. It is run as a private unit and the proceeds are pocketed by the duo. The unit charges its users exorbitantly and most Lagosians can hardly afford to pay its high charges. Much of the revenue is derived from fees paid by the State Government for patients referred there by its General Hospitals.
Several prominent Nigerians in the judiciary, police, INEC, and other sensitive agencies have obtained prime land from former Governor Tinubu and incumbent Governor Fashola over the years without paying a kobo. Many of them had turned around to sell the land to third parties at substantial profit. Many top officials in the police, INEC and the judiciary who participated in the 2003 and 2007 elections and tribunals in states where Tinubu has interest were compromised with parcels of free prime Lagos land and cash. If the Lagos State Land’s Bureau could publish the names and identities of beneficiaries of land allotees from 2000 to date, the scandal that will result is better imagined. Gbenga Ashafa, now a Senator, and Mrs. Awofisayo were the conduits through which these acts were being perpetrated. Both were also personally involved in various dubious land transactions on their own.
Prime land and properties have been used to pay off public officials who are personally close to Tinubu and Fashola for “jobs well done” or for being privy to sensitive information, notably:
(a) Dele Alake, former Commissioner for Information and Strategy, was sold a whole house on Alexander Road, Ikoyi where he lived as official quarters at a give-away price.
(b) Rauf Aregbesola, Osun State Governor, who was a former Commissioner in Lagos as well as Muiz Banire, also a former commissioner, got detached houses at Ladoke Akintola Street, GRA Ikeja for their “good job” while serving under Tinubu.
(c) Yemi Cardoso and Wale Edun, both former commissioners, were sold houses on Iru Close, and another location in old Ikoyi at give-away prices by Tinubu.
