In addition Mrs Chambi is to be imprisoned for twelve years for the first count and ten years each for three other charges, the sentences are to run concurrently. Thus she is expected to spend twelve years in jail.

Delivering judgement in a case of an alleged illegal transfer of over 98 million naira Mr Justice Oladipo Williams ordered Mrs Chambi to pay 98,124,903,01k and that she should be deported at the expiration of her prison sentence.

Mr Justice Oladipo Williams after reviewing the case noted that from all intent and purpose the accused persons had intentionally planned from the beginning to sabotage the Nations economy which he said is punishable under the exchange control anti sabotage decree of 1984.

The other five accused persons who were represented by their Nigerian Directors' were however discharged but not acquitted.

The sentence are subject to the ratification of the Supreme Military Council.

OBEHIOYE: As a Nigerian under-30 who grew up in Warri I have been quite close to the oil and gas industry in Nigeria and luckily so this has helped me understand some of the issues that come up in that industry.
I have also been very fortunate to have visit 3 major power stations as well as the “3” refineries in southern Nigeria while also ending up as an engineer so I can better understand and be part of this very lucrative industry.
It may not be a surprise but you should know that since after the late 70’s and early 80’s up until 2009 there has been no major infrastructural development in Nigeria. No new power plants have been built and successfully commissioned nor has the foundation been laid for any oil refinery.
My visit to the ones I mentioned above turned up very interesting results as regards their capacities and operational efficiencies but mind you the visits to the power plants was conducted between 2004 and 2006 while those to the refineries were earlier.
While the PH refinery was operating at between 60-70% installed capacity at the time of my visit, the Warri plant was virtually non functional at that time. I was told that the crude line to the Warri plant was damaged (Vandalized) and so they couldn’t receive crude to refine and so they using the opportunity to do a mini in-house Turn-Around Maintenance (TAM). Not long after that visit the FGN also used the same excuse and officially awarded contract for the TAM to Chrome Oil Resources owned by Anambra business-man, Sir Emeka Offor. That TAM was never concluded and the refinery staff had to complete it on their own.
My visit to the three power plants showed that two of them had were operating at less than 40% capacity!! We were given the same excuse that gas pipelines had been vandalized and so they couldn’t get gas to run their turbines but I noticed that the turbines were very old with about half of them packed-up.
The most interesting thing I noticed on these visits was the name and dates on the commissioning plagues of these plants: Lt. Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo was the name while the dates ranged from 1977 to 1979. I immediately fell in love with Obj and when he became president later I silently wished and prayed he would perform the same magic until he began to scheme for 3rd term and that I couldn’t stomach.
[size=13pt]When Obj failed bw 1999 and 2007, I tried to understand and then I realized and got to know that the master-mind of all those developments during his military stint was Brig. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari who was the Minister of Power and Energy during that period. Buhari it was, being in-charge of that ministry, built all those plants Obj had commissioned and I had visited.
We are also all aware of the magic that same Buhari performed as head the PTF, which ran a parallel government in Nigeria by getting JUST 3% of every litre of petroleum product purchased in Nigeria. Projects started and completed by the PTF are too numerous to mention here.[/size]
Buhari has never been indicted by any probe or inquiry as haven stolen any money. We have seen how prudent and useful the ministries and agencies he ran were yet we refused to vote him because we have been fed with lies upon lies that he was a religious bigot, he would make Sharia national thing etc.
The cesspool of corruption called Nigeria needs a man in the calibre of Buhari to run her affairs and the funny thing is in our heart of heart we all knew this yet we were afraid to take the bull by the horn and deliver that long-awaited change to Nigeria. Instead you all voted a man, so scared of public debates that he arranged his own private debate. A man who as deputy-governor and governor had no achievement to his name except a corrupt wife!
Unfortunately, Buhari has also hurt his credibility by the statements he made just after the elections. I would definitely vote for him again but for me he just should have appealed to the people instead of saying “the people have only reacted to cheating that was perpertuated”.
It’s rather unfortunate what our country has turned into, really very unfortunate that sometimes I think she’s irredeemable.
I just hope that we would have the courage to see through their lies and smiling faces and do what is right by searching the deep recesses of our conscience and voting appropriately next time but for now let us live in peace with one another.
Cheers.

mens dept: Gen Buhari,

You are not right and wrong with this post. Wrong in the sense that a 1983 dream would steer Naija in the right direction in 2012, and the fact that Buhari was and will always be a coup plotter, who's various appointments and service was a result of illegal regimes that got us to the current mess we have till date.

Where I can give you some slack is the sense that the Buhari (illegal) regime was not as wasteful as the OBJ-Yar Adua-GEJ click, along with poor governors, dumm lazy legislators, and coward parties called ACN, APGA, and ANPP.

One person rightfully said that Buhari had less than 20 ministers, 20 states, and less "big government", and apparantly, did better than the thieves of today.

edicolove: This teenager or sycophant who has chosen this GenBuhari user name really thinks we are all teenagers here on NL. In 1983, Nigeria was not in any economic mess. Nigeria was doing very very very very fine. There was nothing that Buhari was supposed to salvage. It was 1 naira to 1 dollar. A ticket to London was N500. A brand new Volkswagen beatle car was N4000. You think we are teenagers here abi?

At that time, i was enjoying free education in school in Bendel state. We were given free books. All the schools were doing fine. Nepa was given us at least 20 hrs of light daily. The only issues where that salaries were delayed sometimes. Back then, we had a timetable for food at home. Eba was considered a poor mans food. There was no wide spread corruption in Nigeria back then. Corruption was mainly with high ranking politicians then. And most of the corrupt high ranking politicians were northerners because they completely dominated the country. Umaro Dikko was the chief of them. My father used to return the balance of money given to him by the government for projects. He didnt even see why he should take it. The governor of Bendel state then was Prof Ambrose Alli. He established the then Bendel state university, now Ambrose Alli University. He was a very honest man and till date, he has not been found to be corrupt in any way. But when the id1ot Buhari took over, this guy was arrested and thrown in prison just like that. After a long time in prison, he fell seriously ill. The government didnt release him until it was really bad. He later died after being released. This man was one of the foremost brain surgeons in Nigeria. A real gem. He left everything he had achieved in the USA to come and serve his country but was cut short by a stup1d sharia infested Buhari.

Buhari was a weak leader who hid behind General Tunde Idaigbon. Buhari had no serious following in the army. That was why as soon as Idiagbon went on Hajj, he was kicked out so easily. The coup detat that ousted him was the easiest in Nigerian history. There was no resistance. The rank and file did not even stand up for him.

When Buhari took over, he showed his northern Islamic agenda when he put Shagari under house arrest and Ekueme in kirikiri prison. He was a true bigot. The worst kind. The same thing he showed in the last 2011 election when he disdainly and disrespectfully refused to campaign in the south east, south south and south west. He only visited Lagos and rode with some okada riders. He arrogantly expected to win the election without reaching to the south of Nigeria. That is the born to rule mentality of the hausa-fulani of Nigeria.

He was the first to support and defend Yerima of Zamfara when Yerima started his campaign of sharia across northern Nigeria. The same campaign boko aram is now running. coincidence? He came out to tell muslims not to vote for non muslims. A true bigot he is. Of course we all remember the dogs and baboons plan for 2015.

Buhari was PTF chairman during the Abacha regime. He was given hundreds of billions to spend. Till today, There is no tangible project from the north to the south that you can point to, where he spent the huge sums of money, yet his sycophants here will tell us he is not corrupt. I am from the Niger Delta and have consistently challenged these sycophants to show me one tangible project in the Niger Delta where PTF spent even 1 billion naira out of the hundreds of billions and no one can show me. When I insist, they go into an outburst and start ranting or insulting me. At the end of the day, they have no evidence of his so called performance. He finally put the icing on the cake when he declared to the whole world that Abacha was not a corrupt man. I cannot even begin to elaborate the corruption of Abacha. Even the inglorious 10 million man march were he squandered money is still fresh in our memory.

Buhari is a typical northern hausa-fulani bigot. They believe that they are born to rule. That is why he cannot even raise prodigies till date to carry on his so called legacy. He wants to rule himself even when he so close to his grave. His mindset is to rule and distribute food to his talakawas. His almajiri army. Thats how the northern leaders think. They will never empower their people. The will never educate them. Ask yourself this sincere question, Buhari was PTF chairman with enormous resources. Did Buhari build a school? Did he build any industry? Did he build any world class hospital? Did he build traning centers? What actually did he do with the PTF money? Do you know how much he could have transformed the almajiris with such enormous resources if he wanted to? The northern farmers have been sponsored thru the years by ADB loans. 80% of ADB loans are channeled to the north. What was Buhari's own contribution to agriculture? Bill gates spent hundreds of millions of dollars fighting polio in the north. What did Buhari in PTF do? Only teenagers will come here on NL to post crap and think we are gullible fools.

I know they have started the Buhari 2015 campaign, but it will fail again. Why? Because of the same reason murtala mohammed failed. Buhari, just like nurtala are Islamic fundamentalists. Their primary goal is to Islamize Nigeria. Nothing more. And Nigeria is way bigger than that now. This is 2012 and the next 3 years is going to be make or mar years for this nation. Mark the spot!

Mr carry go as I am with you now and forever! Haters could move on to the nearest transformer and gives an excellent clasp to it.

T9ksy: Thanks but no thanks. we shall not be taking up your asinine and puerile advice but rather we shall be waiting for your principal at the next poll when he comes begging/demanding for our votes-then we shall tell him to sling his pho.cking bigoted blood-thirsty hooks. Better still, he should go and hug a wet transformer for all we care.

GenBuhari: God bless Buhari !

And God bless you too.
