berem: I don't make comments to please anyone. I say it how it hurts me.

how many northerners defended farouk like igbos are defending stella? How many yorubas stood by bankole when he was also accused of corruption?

pazienza:


You yoruba woman that grew up and schooled in Igboland, don't think anyone is deceived.

No one is yet to prove stella's crime, as she is innocent. Stella sin is strategic and we know what it is. Hiding under sahara reporters unverified reports to throw Lilliputian darts at her, is not going to cut it. They need to try harder.


Ndiigbo never supported aldophus wabara, neither did we support prof Osuji. So you this yoruba woman, don't come here to spew trash.

Eze Promoe:
No official statement, but we aren't blind as well to the media propagandas.

pazienza:


Mere infrastructure? How many did fani provide apart from flooding the ministry with half baked yoruba people,what else was his achievement?

pazienza:

And on what basis should Odua be sacked when is yet to be proven to be corrupt, eeh?

To prove that the price of Oduah’s cars might have been inflated, Sahara Reporters reported that Vista BMW in Florida, United States of America, sold a fully armoured BMW 760 Li car built to withstand AK 47-7.62×39 ammo and lower calibre weapons, for only $162,195 (about N26m).

Similarly, the armoured car ballistic division of the International Armouring Corporation in Utah, USA, said the cars could have been sold for $200,000 (about N32m) each, shipping to Nigeria inclusive.

papparatzzi2013:

Hear yourself.

How can she protect herself with 255mm ONLY. How much should be spent on the president, VP, Senate president and the Speaker ooo, and even the Governors - to protect them.

How much was used to protect Dora that had more hazardous job?

ideyvexnow:

If all you said was true then what is this obsession about sacking a minister who was only trying to protect her life?

Italiano1:

This could also be of interest to those defending a clear case of mindless corruption:

ideyvexnow:

If someone is going to bring changes and development, that person must survive long enough to do so, Any amount needed to protect a life is okay cos life has no duplicate.
If you were in her position, you will do the same thing, so stop acting holier than the Pope

papparatzzi2013:

[s]On the basis of evidence in public domain that clearly showed she approved purchase and collected cars worth 255mm when a kid in ijaw land is shoeless. She never refuted the evidence.. She should be stoned.[/s]

eggheaders: Igboid defending criminals since time immemorial. When the common thief Jim nwobodo stole common generator from national stadium. The senate presidency saga ko talk of thief like nzeribe they still award him with a red cap and a feather to crown it. Smh for this kind of humanoids.

Ngwakwe: Why are you not interested in comparing your so called evidence in public domain with factual statements and refutation of all allegations against the minister by FAAN and NCAA.

The organs of the ministry of aviation have made several statements that vindicated the minister and exonerated her from abuse of office but prejudice wouldn't allow you to see things from different direction.

So her mouth is being gagged or she suddenly lost her voice that she cannot protect her image and integrity, if she has any.

Your argument is baseless bros. this is not a village square or beer parlour discussion.

papparatzzi2013: And they want presidency?

Just for them to speak up in a clear case o injustice, they are playing ethnic cards again that they are well known for.


Always playing a "we" vs their imaginary enemy that exists in their fiction of their minds.

Ngwakwe: Whose names and signatures were in the so-called evidence in the public domain?

Try to read through their defence to clear your eyes from bias

In the petition signed by Samuel Ogala, made available to Saturday PUNCH on Friday, the law firm described Oduah’s case as an outrageous prodigal action.

The petition states, “Apart from the fact that the said threat to the life of the minister was never reported to the police, the extortion of the sum of N255m from the NCAA, a parastatal under the Ministry of Aviation, is fraudulent in every material particular.

“Specifically, the said sum of N255m was not appropriated by the National Assembly while the officials of the NCAA who authorised the expenditure of the sum of N255m exceeded their approval limit.”

NCAA had purchased two vehicles valued at a whopping $1.6m said to have been delivered to Oduah in August this year. The armoured vehicles, BMW 760 Li, were bought from Coscharis Motors Limited in Lagos.

An online news medium, SaharaReporters, had reported on Tuesday that the armoured vehicles were delivered to the minister in August.

The medium reported that documents in its possession showed that the transaction for the purchase of the two BMW cars started in June, but the request for the delivery of and payment for them was fast-tracked between August 13 and 15, 2013.

The transaction involved the NCAA, First Bank of Nigeria, and Coscharis Motors Limited, according to the report.

The two black BMW 760 Li HSS vehicles had chasis numbers WBAHP41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044, and were reportedly delivered to the NCAA on August 13, 2013. They were received by two store managers, F. Onoabhagbe and Y. A. Amzat, who is also the agency’s head of transport.

St.Ola:


I have since realised that anyone that is non-Igbo must be half baked according to the Igbos. Only Igbos are qualified in Nigeria. FFk wasn't even there for up to a year, yet he flooded the place with Yoruba?
Is it Dr. Harold Demuren that is half baked? Have we ever had anyone so qualified head the NCAA?

I still don't understand the hate that Igbos have for Yorubas even on their own land.

You complain that Yorubas are touts, then complain that they flood everywhere you did not expect to find them.

Are you Igbos normal at all?

The average Igbo is irked that he resumes work in a place and his tribesman is not the head of the organisation. He's more irked that so many Yorubas seem to be doing well in both government and private establishments. They would rather have themselves in those positions they've found the Yorubas.

They can't even keep the hate to themselves. They still come online to complain that Yorubas flood everywhere.

Well, I thought Yorubas are touts?

It hurts the Igbos so deeply that despite their own early agenda to dominate, the Yorubas seem to still be an albatross that cannot be overcome.

Keep up the walk, you'll catch-up soon!

pazienza:


How many germans are out defending hitler, how many yorubas are out defending Awo and Adekunle. How many yoruba media raised alarm when shell headquarters was being moved from Ph to lagos, how many of them raised alarm when fani was neglecting the so called quota system and flooding the ministry with half baked yoruba incompetent people. How many Yorubas condemned Fashola and his theft in Lagos, How many yorubas campaigned against a corrupt OBJ who still vied for a second tenure? How many yorubas protested when an entire region was economically sabotaged. Huh?



No one is fooled. You guys have to try harder.

papparatzzi2013:

How does Enugu Airport stops Lagos State revenue. Please tell us. For your information, the revenue generated by Airport authority and customs goes to FGN.

The functionality of Enugu Airport is better for lagos because, Igbo people can migrate back to alaigbo and lagos will be more decongested and you can develop your place.

Who cares about Enugu Airport. Stop all these your myopic view of "they don't want us to have international airport". The more the international airports, the better for us as a nation and the safer our air space will most likely be.

Waiting for the explanation on your fallacy.

ifyalways:
What's up with the "sentiments" ? I didn't ask nor care,as a matter of fact about how or who cums over your comments.

I don't know if igbo's are defending Stella,won't be bothered if anyone is or isn't.

My question simply was, seeing how Farouks episode played out,do you think Stella would be sacked?
using Farouk and others as a yardstick, how do you think this would end?

PS: I'm only bothered cos Stella is a female and because you seemed to focus on her and Diezani.

You are just deliberately obfuscating the debate to suit your own ethnocentric interpretation of events.

The Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority
(NCAA) yesterday dismissed
unconfirmed media reports that two
BMW security cars which were
bought by the agency were missing.
This was disclosed by the Director
General of the agency Capt. Fola
Akinkuotu while briefing newsmen
over media reports concerning the
controversial purchase of the two
vehicles.
He further disclosed that purchase of
the cars were provided for in the
2013 Budget of the aviation industry
regulatory body.
According to him: “The cars are
operational vehicles used in the
varied operations of the NCAA.
Transporting the Minister and
aviation-related foreign dignitaries
is part of this operation .”
He continued: “…We make haste to
state that aviation is a global
industry and the NCAA which is the
regulator of the industry in Nigeria
very often plays host to dignitaries
from international civil aviation
bodies like International Civil
Aviation Organisation (ICAO),
International Air Travellers
Association (IATA), United States
Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), African Airlines Association
(AFRAA), The Bangui Accord Group
(BAG), Civil Aviation Navigations
Organisations (CANSO), Airport
Council International (ACI) amongst
several others”
He further stated that it was
internationally customary to convey
our minister and these visiting
foreign dignitaries in security
vehicles whenever they are in
Nigeria.
Said he: “It must be noted that
during such visitations, the security
of members of the delegation is the
sole responsibility of the host
country.
“The vehicles are therefore in the
pool of the NCAA for these special
assigments and are available at NCAA
office and can be shown to you” he
said.
He further stated that this was not
the first time that the agency had
procured for the afore-mentioned
purposes adding that all necessary
procurement and due process was
followed.
Capt. Akinkuotu condemned the
clandestine manner in which
information concerning the
transaction was obtained by online
media groups and some mainstream
media organisations.
Commenting on the cost of both cars
which stood at N255 million, the
NCAA DG explained that this may
have been due to the fact that
Coscharis which supplied both cars is
the sole dealer of the automobile
brand in Nigeria.

The igbos had one problem:they never knew who their real enemy was.its just that now they do.perhaps this issue will show more clearly the insidious nature of yoruba attacks on igbos.
The hausas being straightforward declared that they dont want the enugu international airport.they sent a warning to the ethiopian airline warning that their plane must also ply kano if it would at all ply enugu.not minding the fact that amino kano international airport,kano has up to 6 international flights which do not ply enugu.
now hausas we undestand.they have an agenda and they played their hand openly so we responded in kind.
But the yorubas had to go back and play their hate insidiously.they hv to remove the minister for aviation.and i admire them for this,so much.after all politics is not a game for the dimwitted.the yorubas are so good that even some half-assed igbos are falling into the trap their fathers fell into-not knowing who ur real enemies are.
The pen is mightier than the sword.understand this and you would understand the yorubas.
The greatest enemy is that which knows how to marshall thoughts of others against u.those that kill by the sword make enemies and conquests of their contemporaries.but those that kill with the pen make will make slaves of both generations to come.They that control the press of any nation controls the mood of her citizens,and defines reality for those who would not think for themselves,like the north and boko haram.

berem: now I get your question.

I don't expect stella to be sacked because this present government is not serious to fight corruption. Dieziani who is even more corrupt than Stella is still a minister despite all calls made to sack her. Just as all alleged corrupt cases are being swept under the carpet,this won't be an exception. The matter will die a natural death.

Afam4eva:
These are the questions i've been asking that no one seems to be answering. Granted the cost of those cars seem exorbitant but we have to know for sure that it was not budgeted for just like the millions budgeted everyday for the president's food. There's a difference between morality and criminality. What Oduah has done may be immoral but it may be backed up by law.
