How come big change ($43million) still remain after the six weeks pre-election fight against insurgency?

Maybe the $43million is to rehabilitate the Chibok girls when they finally find them all.
I am assuming the money was initially meant to pay mercenaries brought in from south Africa and other countries. The remaining use to purchase arms from the black market and finance the civilian JTF.
But you know black man would always look for some kick back. Just my gut feeling though....

Without parliamentary approval? High level abuse of office.

So the executive should write the legistature regarding the existence of such an amount? Why not the judiciary too and the chairman of the landlord association on your area .

PDP released a statement earlier saying the dismissed SGF should have been "arrested" if the government wanted to show any sincerity in her intentions over the grasscuter.

Jonathan's name has come up s gazillion times in virtually all known criminal incidents under his government: when would the bat-faced two timing fvcktards call for Jonathan's arrest?

Jonathan was a huge mistake.

PDP is simply a devilish party. They wasted our dollars on election.

The fact that GEJ gave approval for such a huge and unbudgeted amount of money to be withdrawn in cash and spend within the country should make any reasonable Nigerian very angry. Apart from the corruption involved, the negative effect on the Naira and our economy is unimaginable.

Nigerians can now see why the Naira practically collapsed when Buhari took over. Jonathan dipped his rotten and corruption infected fingers straight into CBN and depleted the foreign reserve in a desperate attempt to win the election. Only God can adequately punish that guy for what he did to this country.



What evidence is there to show that buhari is still not approving money in cash? There is nothing on ground to show that the loopholes that allowed the stealing in the first place have been blocked

It is extra budgetary money. It has to be approved by the senate.

Jonathan: The CURSE of Nigeria!! Ineffectual thing!!
When a sitting President opens his mouth on an international Television and say 'Stealing is not corruption' what do you expect? I am so grateful to God that these rogues never won the election, only God knows where the economy of my country will be by now.
They were only all concern about their selfish selves and family and never care about the masses and the ones supporting them with hunger! And imagine this man was borrowing millions of dollars to buy ammunition to fight insurgency...
And for the wailers that will wail forever supporting Jona and his gang of thieves, I really pity you all, where are those saying the money belongs to Amaechi?

$43 million dollars = #13 billion naira
$289 million dollars = (someone pls help me with the naira equivalent, my calculator just exploded!!!)
And this was mismanaged/stolen in just one Agency!!
Possibly over $1 Billion Dollars must have been stolen during the years Oga Jona was hot!
And some dumb people wonder why we are in recession!
May the enemies of Nigeria never live long!

Meanwhile, at the same time, Goodluck Jonathan was borrowing $1billion (one Billion Dollars) to buy Arms to fight Boko Haram, and madam world bank was borrowing to pay salaries. Some people who are hell bent on destroying their own destinies will still come here and defend Jonathan and blame Buhari for our present predicament.

Buhari is to be blamed for not blocking the loopholes that allowed the stealing in the first place.

GEJ as president had every authority to approve money for an agency.

So, are Buhari's men that took over from May 2015 telling us that NIA did not return the unspent money back to FG at the end of 2015 and even 2016? or was it GEJ's responsibility again to enforce that even after leaving office?

Buhari and his APC strategists are desperate to cover-up this matter.



No president has the power to just spend money. Any money to be spent MUST be budgeted for by the National Assembly.

You created a thread on the issue on the strength of which pronouncement?

Was the thread you created in defense of EFCC or against the alleged owners of the stash?

And your treatise did not wonder why the hero of democracy, the meek one, father of rebased GDP did not deem it fit to include the existence of that money or the entire covert operation worth over 40 billion naira in his handover note to his successor.

Then later you will ask yourselves why your children are shining the shoes of the children of these thieves (your heroes).As for me,as long as I heard of $289M, that hero of mines is now my enemy.

........AND can you imagine that they said this man has a PHDTaking out such huge amount in DOLLARS created a huge paucity of dollars in circulation during the election period. The consequences is so bad for the economy. I now believe that having degrees in Nigerian Universities doesn't mean a thing.

. Mr.use your tongue to count your teeth,some thing is fundamentally wrong with the narrative. CBN was asked who that trench of money was released to since no hand as touched it .CBN said they could not trace,that is totally incredible.2,how could dollars that were minted in 2016 be released in 2015.who is the owner of that apartment not just some dash dash as we are been told.I can never forget the interview Diya granted sometime back about Abacha loot he said if not for hard evidence he will not have believed Abacha was stealing money because here was a man who will not even approve some expenditure and that a times it takes god for him to approve some.some thing is just fundamentally wrong with this there story and to tell you categorical this money was just looted in this present administration or it is a kickback from a multinational firm from contract award that I am very sure.case in point Haliburton.if CBN can not trace the source

Depeding on what you mean by "messing GEJ up" If there was an agreement between GEJ and PMB as regards investigations of crimes, it wouldn't be wrong if PMB sticks to it. With that said, we all need to stop the politics of the blind. These people kill us everyday and we jump to defend them at every slight chance ? I just don't get it. Could someone you know (other than Magu) have easily found these monies out? NASS really thinks PMB needs their approval to set up any investigatory committee abi ? Bunch of comedians. I've come to see that they oppose any move(s) that lead us to a meaningful recovery. We shall see.

Please don't be foolish. Do you have any idea what USD290million is? That's more than a quarter of a billion dollars. What on earth was the NIA supossed to do with that money that can conveniently build a 300MW power station in Lagos? And to make matters worse, it was in raw cash!!! The perpetrators have absolutely no defence.
