*Mr social media man was the ireporter right about the Haliburton case or not
*Has the case been buried or not
*Is Atiku linked in the case or not
*Has the corruption campaign been restricted to only the GEJ regime or not
*Is OBJ linked to the case or not
Mr Hinwazaka, did GEJ have the chance to probe the case and failed to do so or not?

I expected you to comment on the veracity or otherwise of the report and not to start blabbing whether it is from CNN or not!! Unless you can counter that report with tangible proof that Buhari is not doing away with the probe of the halliburton scam that report will remain on the CNN
Had the report been about GEJ, none of them will even bother about links.

This is a reaction to the alleged CNN ireport that made frontpage this morning: https://www.nairaland.com/2519816/cnn-investigates-why-buhari-dumped/2#36870336

Its no news or surprise the extent to which the opposition and critics of the Buhari government are willing to go in spreading falsehood and preying on gullible minds for the sole aim of putting pressure on Buhari's government to back down on its anti-corruption stance.

On the alleged report, firstly, visiting the ireport CNN website, you will see a disclaimer clearly written on this questionable report by CNN (http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-1259469) which reads:

CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. The stories here come from our audience and are not edited, fact-checked or screened before they post. If you think this iReport violates our community guidelines, please tell us by clicking on the "This is Inappropriate" button below. You can learn more about how iReport works on our About page. http://ireport.cnn.com/about.jspa

This clearly shows that this news was neither reported nor investigated by CNN. It was clearly the work of a person who has no way of getting any credible news media to investigate or clarify the questionable report, and the best the individual could do was run to the CNN ireport community to propagate falsehood. For the avoidance of doubt, anyone can report anything on CNN ireport website, just like anyone can report anything on nairaland website.

It will also interest you to know that this questionable report possibly has its roots from a vanguard news report on August 29, 2012 titled: Buhari Dares IBB, at a time when Buhari was a presidential aspirant under the platform of CPC. At that point, Buhari had dared IBB to expose any corruption facts he (IBB) had on him (Buhari) while also accusing IBB and other leaders of being the ones who destroyed this country. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/corruption-buhari-dares-ibb/

There are also insinuations that Kashim Afegbua who was implicated in this questionable news report no longer works for IBB


Conclusion
The alleged news report is misleading and should be dismissed as the work of propagandists and has nothing at all to do with CNN as it was not edited, fact-checked or screened before it was published on the ireport community website.

God Bless Nigeria

Social media man, thank you for promptly been early to defend you Saviour Buhari, atleast thats what you guys are paid to do. So you are telling me now that if truly the news are from CNN you will still believe it. Whether from ireporter or not, Nigerians are not fools. The content is true and the message plain. Buhari is not better off than other generals or even Gej. Just watch and see, this generals are going to control his govt or else they expose his atrocities. Stop fighting and defending mr Buh.

The point being disputed in the silly report is where it says PMB dropped the investigation of halliburton scandal and restricted all probes to the last regime out of fear after IBB and OBJ threatened to expose his involvement in the disappearance of $2.8billion and his shady deals as PTF head.


Meanwhile, the ireport was authored by one GEORGE ELIJAH OTUMU, probably a Jonathanian writer. This has nothing to do with CNN.

Then , let the dullard probe IBB, OBJ, Abdusallam, Jonathan , and himself if he is sure he's got no bad eggs in his farms.

Buhari is very corrupt. How can he say he would only probe Jonathan? This dullard overestimates himself.

Are you going senile or what? Whats there to be proved when the mischievous author made it look as though it was CNN doing it?

The fact that they mischievously used CNN to make it look real is enough proof for any right thinking human.

Chukwudi44 is a goat, ignoring him might be one of the best decisions you will ever make in your life. Could be he owns the moniker that posted the falsehood as a CNN investigative report. Morality has long departed from these guys. It was worse before the elections but has gone to worst after the loss. It's a shame.

Irrespective of the fact that the CNN Ireport might be Propaganda, It does not negate the common knowledge that OBJ,ATIKU,IBB and ABDULSALAM all have a hand in the Halliburton bribery scandal. They are all theives
And that in it own doesn't negate the fact that GEJ had 5 years but refused to probe the scandal.

It doesn't negate the fact that under GEJ EFCC was comatose.

How on earth should we allow falsehood to be given credence? DO you know that story was picked up by google immediately it was posted? do you know other news media might believe it because they saw CNN's name on it? Do you know people will believe this false report and start spreading false rumor? Before i believe such news, i verify the source so i can distinguish facts from propaganda and falsehood, just like you would do before believing a story about someone you respect, whats wrong with that?

More like Buhari is not ready to upset all the big targets so early into his governance. Those guys IBB, Atiku, OBJ are wolves, they can destroy the nation even worse they can kill the old #babagoslow

It would also be difficult for current EFCC to indict those guys , first all the small fish must go, The likes of GEJ, FFK, Saraki are the people who would reveal the secrets needed to catch Atiku and co

There are very good reasons why PMB decided to limit the probe to the most recent past, but the reason is certainly not what the drunk author of that piece has stated in his report.

Gullible mister, Why have these two failed to bring out the "classified evidence" despite GMB challenging them on several occasions?

Why didn't OBJ use the same "classified evidence" to nail GMB in the run-up to 2003 election which they both contested?

Why didn't IBB bring out the "classified evidence" when Buhari clearly and specifically dared him to do so. PMB even went ahead to reveal his other atrocities then.

FORMER Head of State and Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, in the 2011 general elections, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), yesterday dared former Military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (rtd), to expose him if he had facts and insisted that IBB and other leaders played crucial roles in destroying Nigeria’s oil industry. IBB had on Monday threatened to expose Buhari’s shady deals in the oil sector when he functioned as Petroleum Minister and later chairman of the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, if Buhari did not shut his mouth. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2012/08/corruption-buhari-dares-ibb/
