The Last Nazgûl: Is there something in the air Igbo people breathe or the water they drink or are they high on some substance unknown to other members of the human race? It seems all the mentally decrepit fellows, the scum of humanity, those who are unable to make proper use of their brains are of Igbo stock. A woman steals money and one cretin is saying it's our oil money. It seems your brains have died on you. All is not well with you guys. ' Igbo' is fast becoming a synonym for s.tupidity and undiluted ignorance. I just hope your s.tupidity is not contagious.

You are a categorical dimwit of inconsequential stratum. I curse the day you became a compatriot to those who termed themselves as Nigerian. I really think you should be fed to lions while still stealing the air.

It is only in the world of irredeemable fools such as you that the act of ministerial or departmental purchase of vehicles for official use turns into a woman stealing money. You and many jackasses such you are the reasons Nigeria should be disintegrated.

Most people would have pinched in to help Nigeria but when some of them think that a rapscallion such as you will become a beneficiary of such philanthropic act, they decide to forget everything about the cesspit called Nigeria.

Prof Corruption: Does she have power to authorize purchase of cars running to $1.6 millions without an approval by the Federal Executive Council?
Can she authorize expenditure to the tune of N255 million without approval by FEC?

Is she even entitled to buy a personal car considering the monetisation policy in operational at the moment?

What about the criminal dimension of inflated costs?

When corruption is reported in any government, the onus is on the leader to confront it headlong to prevent entrenching impunity. Obasanjo took the following actions:

1. Fabian Osuji was sacked for corruption related cases.
2.Sunday Afolabi was disgraced and was rumored to have committed suicide when the shame was unbearable for him.
3. Adolphous Wabara was forced to eat the humble pie.
4. Osomo, former housing minister was sacked for corruption related cases, an opening that allowed Mimiko to be appointed a minister.

Yar'Adua asked Grange, former health minister, to resign immediately when allegations of corruption were made against her.

You can't prevent anyone from being corrupt, but when a case of corruption is reported, the onus is on the leader of such administration to act.
This is even beyond Stella Oduah, the case in point is the credibility and integrity of this administration. We are saying Jonathan should even pretend for once that he's fighting corruption? This is a test case for him. It's a complex case of profligacy, criminal abuse of office, conflict of interest and cronyism woven into one disturbing narrative of unbelievable impunity.


PS:
Of course, tons of emotions can be shed on why Yoruba "hate" Igbo or why Igbo are being "persecuted". But did Yoruba force her to acquire such cars?

I had started to read the above nonsensical crap when suddenly hit with these moronic statements, “Does she have power to authorize purchase of cars running to $1.6 millions without an approval by the Federal Executive Council? Can she authorize expenditure to the tune of N255 million without approval by FEC?” which indicated the poster has psychiatric problems or is an irredeemable dunce.

If the goofy poster does not know how budgetary process is tackled, he/she should ask questions. I would want this wild monkey to understand that once federal government allocates budget to ministries and agencies based on many instances which included the budget each departments submitted, the management of such budget falls into the hands of the ministers or heads of agencies and departments.

In most cases after the budget has been disbursed to ministries, the minister had petitioned the president, federal minister of finance and accountant-general complaining the shortfalls of his/her departmental budget.

The so-called FEC has no role in the manner in which a ministry dispenses its budget. However, the OMB (Office of Management and Budget) has the power to send auditors to ministries and agencies to check for fraudulent practices.

Firstly the started with the minister of power Barth Nnaji who couldn't stand their stupidity and resigned to protect his international reputation, then they came to Ngozi Okonjo Iweala and ruined her chances for world Bank presidency over oil subsidy that is not even their oil, then they came to Azuibike Ihejirika who bravely fought of the cowards not done they tried their antics on the NPC chairman who does not stand mediocrity, fraud and immediately resigned as a sign to his critics that he doesn't need government that government needs his services. Now they have come for Stella Oduah whose only crime is that the ministry bought 2 bullet proof cars as part of the pool cars.
This is in a country where a Governor spent N80M tax payers money to host a porn actress fot 45 minutes and spent N2B on the birthday party of an ex convict.
The bullet proof car while not being the property of the honourable minister of Aviation would serve several ministers who will in future head the ministry

DerideGull: I have asked most of the moronic dingbats from certain section of Nigeria to publicly establish an iota of corruption in purchase of two BMW cars by ministry of aviation for official use. Till this moment, the loudmouthed trolls have done nothing but do what do best, shout.

If any bums think the cars where too expensive, I say go and buy cheaper ones to establish a case or shut the hell up.

I have said that the ministry of aviation needs additional two armored X6 BMW SUVs to complement the two 760Li cars s the official fleets of the ministry.

I agree with you. Inasmuch as I have zero tolerance to corruption, I also hate wasteful spending. But come to think of it, Stella Oduah is not alone in this saga. So why single her out? Nobody accused her of corruption here, so why do we act saint? There are many imstances of wasteful spending in our polity. Tinubu spent N1B on birthday, Fashola's paid through his nose for Kardashian 5mins appearance, Jonathan spends N1B on food annually, HORs consumes 40% of our annual budget. It is the same story everywhere. So why are we playing ostrich? Could there be an underlying motive for the hostilities towards her? These questions beg for answer.

FO.ol! They are all over the place. Protecting a corrupt government official just because she comes rom your region. That's like the dumbest thing ever. Umunna, let's reason past our emotions for once. Tell M̶̲̅ε̲̣, how many of ur brothers and sisters has stella sponsored in school? How many roads has she built in your community? Do u think stella gives a damn if your existing or not? Obasanjo that located prominent power plants in igboland, is he ibo?

About the Enugu airport, Jonathan would have built it anyway, with or without an ibo minister. Other ministeries with non ibo minister have strategic projects located in ibo land. Stella was merely doing her job. She didn't attract that project because she was ibo.

In the last ministerial shakeoff, were any of the minister sacked from ibo? Did you see yoruba or Hausa making a fuse about it? Even thoug the were sacked with no clear reason.

Umunne, something u don't know is that jonathan has no say in the sack of the minister. If the National assembly decides that stella must go, then she MUST! And the yoruba and other regions u'r here bashing constitutes more than 70% of NA, so go figure.

With the way you guys are going, your are totally given ibos a bad image. I don't think any sane Nigeria would vote an ibo in as a president anytime soon.

We should all come together and comdemn evil, what is bad is bad.

What is this thing saying..

KenGali:

Hello Professor of Lies.
Wondering if you read the NCAA declare that the items where budgeted for
Also wondering if you know the price of the vehicle to be making libeous claims.
Also wondering if you understand that Coscharis, is the sole authorised distributor of such vehicles in Nigeria and that means that the company will not sell it to you in Nigeria if not through him.
Educate yourself better.

Dear KenGali,

The humble Professor only asked pertinent questions which you could have proffered due answers for if within your purview. Until a suitable panel of enquiry is set up to probe this allegation of corruption we may not be able to affirm that the supa dupa vehicles were budgeted for. I have read other articles that allege that there was no approved budgetary allocation for the purchase. NCAA should collate the facts for perusal beyond word of mouth.

Furthermore, if tendering or bidding is mandatory as a statutory process for procurement within MDAs, it must be duly adhered to with support from other relevant agencies. Monopoly of an item does not necessarily invoke violation of due process through single sourcing. A thorough process would have seen Cosharis submit a tender or bid for the procurement of the vehicles in response to an invitation to tender or request for bid publication. The completion of the process may have shown that no other firm expressed interest OR may have clarified Cosharis as the most competitive bidder.

Notwithstanding, the key issue lies in the morals behind the purchase. Is an appointed Minister entitled to such luxury at tax payers expense? If all Ministers of her ilk tow her line, what will be the impact?

Personally, the Minister in recent times has not exuded apt technical understanding of what her job functions are. The primary objective of monitoring and controlling the sector for air safety and better customer service to the populace is being traded for administrative cosmetic surgery of existing airports.

She is not alone in this charade of poor performance. 80% of the Ministers under this administration have performed below par.

Enough said!

Please refrain from misinforming the people.

What is a budget? It is a high level summary of expenditure over a defined period of time. It contains a summarised breakdown of activities and allocated indicative cost per activity over the defined period. Thus if approved, it is mandatory for the performing agency to abide by the terms and content of the approved budget. To this end, was it expressly stated in the budget of any of the MDAs under the Aviation sector that a related purchase will be made? If yes, no case. If no, then the needful should be done to forestall an occurrence.

If Ministers or Heads of Agencies had the sole autonomy to manage budgetary allocations as deem fit, auditors will not be sent in to beam searchlights. The check for fraudulent practices include ratification of the actual expenditure against the planned (approved budget scope) or performance measurement baseline. Where changes to the baseline are unavoidable due to outcome of progressive elaboration, unforseen events or need for a risk mitigation, a change management process shall be initiated for approval by the supervising authority before execution. In appropriate climes, accountability is the responsibility of every public servant including the President!

Mr. Budget, have you heard about budget modifications? Now I know additional reasons Nigeria will never see development. Nigerians are ignorantly myopic due to undue tribal pressures. Whether the ministers or heads of departments had sole autonomy to manage budgetary allocations or not, the ministries, agencies and governmental departments must be audited not only by internal auditors but external ones.


I am not an expert on budgetary matters but not a novice either. There are delegated authority granted to departmental heads to approve certain changes in budget and a 10% budget modification rule. However, I do not know what is obtained in the cesspit called Nigeria and I do not give a hoot.

I guess what you termed as “change management process” in your post is a mere letter or petition to the appropriate quarters. So far, the loudmouthed punks have not proffered an iota of evidence to show the purchase of two BMW cars are not according to the budgetary limits of ministry of aviation.

Old dede was just sent to the dustbin where he belongs.

I've always been up of the opinion that 'the one who keeps his hands straight, will have his enemies running confused when they plan to pull him down'. If Stella has carelessly played into the hands of her so called 'detractors' then I'm sorry she has to pay for it irrespective of the reason why they are after her.
Painfully enough, its the only way to rid our society of filth since every other method has failed.
Let the Igbos be on the lookout too and release incriminating information about other tribes, we may cure our selves with our stupid tribalism afterall.
Am sorry I don't know how to play the politics of ethnicity.
He who comes to equity, must come with both hands sparkling clean.

Rossike, you are a loser

Abeg free these tribal things. She'll be replaced by an Igbo if she is fired so why won't her replacement continue with work in Igbo Land?

Onlytruth: BTW HATERS CAN KEEP HATING. She is doing a GREAT JOB.

plendil: I've been silently following Oduahgate since details of the sleaze broke out and have been shocked, nay flabbergasted and deeply saddened at the tribal dimension the whole fiasco has taken.

It is pretty telling indictment of that tribe if their much trumpeted 'best performing minister ever' (how such a distinction was arrived at beats me - O I FORGOT, she built an international airport from the scratch. . . with her personal money, apparently) is one to be embroiled in such despicable display of corruption.

That the lid was blown open by a fellow Igboman just happened to be an inconvenient detail, one that has been largely overlooked.

A question for OP and his ilk: it too difficult to ask that she face the music, be it sack or prosecution, but her replacement must come from the SE?? Would that not portray you people who one that value integrity above blind, misguided, destructive and primordial ethnic considerations?
Pathetic, to say the least.

NLanders are loooking at this upside down as usual. 4get ethnic sentiments, 4get who the whistle blower is and where he comes 4rm. 4get the she is one of the best aviation ministers so far, as long as she is caught on corruption and financial scandal charges, she has to go simple. Nigerians and NLanders, lets not condone evil cos of ethnicity, lets a spade a spade and white white. Lets not try to colour black whitecoss of ethnic sentiments. She has not yet been investigated talk less of indictment. Till those two happen, she can continue her job 4 all I care but ones she is indicted of corrupt charges, as far as am concerned she has no more business doing anything there.

During the course of this debate, a debater had indicated that the ministry of aviation had about 94 billion naira allocated to it in 2013 budget and about 4.5 billion naira is set aside for fleet maintenance. If I had to judge from the above facts, the word-“maintenance” is not limited to repairs. Where is the corruption or fraudulent practice in addition of two BMW cars to ministry of aviation’s fleet?

jumobi1: Abeg free these tribal things. She'll be replaced by an Igbo if she is fired so why won't her replacement continue with work in Igbo Land?

This statement is problem Nigeria has. What stops a fellow nigerians maybe from osu or edo bulding an airport in Anambra or are we all mad or going mad. Ethnic divide is a poison in our nigerian ways of thought, it has 2 be eliminated or we as a people wont progress.

Laughable! Stella is a goner and a stale news. Stella is representing a state in Federal Executive Council. Her replacement will come from that state. When Barth Nnaji was fired, he wasn't replaced with a Yoruba or Hausa or Fulani or Ijaw etc. He was replaced by a fellow Igbo from his state. So, I don't understand this mentality of Yoruba and Hausa working against you when the very replacement for this woman is 100% certain to be Igbo!

Even when Festus Odimegwu, a fine gentleman whose only undoing was talking too much, was removed, his replacement (in acting capacity) is still an Igbo. So what's the fuss about! It's not like others are taking anything from you. We should all condemn corruption, fiscal irresponsibility, abuse of office and conflict of interest when there is one. We know there's tribalism in Nigeria but we should all have an irreducible minimum that can't be tolerated. There is not one strand of logical point to defend Stella. On moral basis, she is standing on a shaking ground. On legal basis, she is completely wrong. So why are you defending her even in the face of preponderance of very damning and damaging evidence?

As regards your EZE ONLYLIES's pedestrian central thesis that Stella is being hounded because of international airport in Enugu, one would think there was only one airport in the country before. If Port Harcourt, the oil capital of Nigeria, did not upset traffic in Lagos, Abuja and Kano, what exactly is in Enugu and it's environs that presents such a threat to Lagos, Abuja and Kano airports?

Stella is a thief. She should be sacked, prosecuted and sent to jail for criminal abuse of abuse.
