owobokiri: I can see that the Otedola Protection Committee (OPC) are in full operation on this thread. How anybody with any atom of good sense will read the whole events going on and say Otedola is innocent beats me. People are even quoting Obasanjos labelling of the HoR as rogues to butress their warped points. Who doesnt know that Obasanjo is involved in this case? Who was Femi Otedola in the oil and gas sector before Obasanjo came to power and made them the oil kings while he was doubling as the oil minister too? Lawans crime was that by demanding bribes from Otedola/Zenon, he was daring Obasanjo/PDP/Jonathan. He bit more than he can chew there and now they will roast him alive while sending the Subsidy report to the dustbin where they have always wanted it to be. Massive corruption in the oil and power sectors is the BEDROCK of the riches accumulated by Nigerias ruling elites over the decades. You cant clean up that sector when you are powerless and corrupt too. What happened to the Power probe report/Elumelu? Is this not Elumelu part 2?

tete7000: To call Jonathan administration the most corrupt is to show one's lack of understanding of what has happened under past administrations. Obasanjo and his predecessor tenure were as corrupt as this administration. I think we have to still give this administration some kudos for allowing some transparencies. If it were under obasanjo's or babangida's tenure all the revelations we are having now would have been muscled and swept under the carpet. For a man with power to allow himself be criticised the way Jonathan has done deserves some reccomendation.

Demdem:

Nop, during OBJ people were going to jail no matter how selective u call it. Obj Minister went and later died in jail, what about IGP etc what can we say about this administration?
Infact i am forced to say that corruption may not be our problem now but impunity which seems to be the order of the day.

tete7000:

In a democratic setting the way obasanjo went fighting corruption is totally wrong. You see you don't fight a wrong with another wrong. President was not meant to go around fighting corruption like it is a personal war. Institutions are meant to be strengthened so that they can carry out their duties. I prefer that allegations are sent to appropriate quarters (efcc and the likes) and they be given time to do their jobs for which they are created. I believe because we have lived under military administrations for too long, we all seem to have lost sense of what is right or wrong. Obasanjo was too raw and too crude to be a democratic president. His methods were wrong and if Nigeria has continued his way, only God knows where Nigeria would be now. He is not better than Jonathan. If nothing happens under Jonathan, it is not because of Jonathan but a reflection that Nigerians in government institutions that have been give free hands to operate are equally corrupt. How else can you describe that Ibori was jailed in US while a Nigerian Judge acquitted him of same charges with same evidences. Is Jonathan the Judge? Or do you expect him to teach the Jugde his job?

Demdem:

My friend, i smiled reading ur post and it seems to me u dont understand ur country. Nigeria isnt a place where things just happen the way they ought to be. OBJ fought it the way he deemed fit and results were coming no matter how small, now that the current president is there who seems to allow procedures or whatever to have its way, u tell me what result has been gotten so far. Its about results my brother.

Nigeria may be a democratic country but believe me if i say we also need a flair of authoritarian governance especially at the beginning of our democratic process.

If nothing happens under Jonathan then he is to be blamed so please dont deflect the blame at all. Only if he uses his powers as stated in the constitution. What about his political will? dont u think he is also lacking in that area? besides he promised judicial reforms? what has he done about this except sacking salami erroneously?

one.east:
Just like every other yorobaman, Otedola is a criminal. An Hausa man has busted him

tete7000: Did he sack Salami or judicial council recommended the guy be suspended and he did that? There are due process to be followed in doing things and I dont think he erred in Salami's case.

am also aware that the same NJC has recommended that he should be re-instated. Even the PDP stooge lawyer that went to court had his case thrown out. what is stopping him.
besides, was this the only thing u took from my last post? this isnt the crux

Must u always 'tribalize' every issue. I guess u are Ibo. I have very good and reasonable ibo friends. I would not join u in castigating ibos because i know u are just a bad ambassador of ur race.

Oga na wa for you-o-oooh!
You have turned N/L into a full ACN political base.

FFuck ACN

Initially, you wanted GEJ ministers like Madueke and Iwuala fired based on false allegations.

The mere fact that they were on seat and overseeing a situation where budgetary allocation for fuel subsidy were exceeded by over 900% without asking questions and without permission from the NASS is more than enough. besides in a real country, the presdient of such a nation ought to be facing impeachement process by now by disobeying the law which is the Budget that has been signed to law


Now you want to wait for Lawan to prove his innocence or guilt.

If lawan is guity, he should face the music however proper investigation has to be done. I wont be deceived by Otedola's (CABAL) closeness to the president that may allow a shoddy job

Next you jump into the sad 'justice for sale saga' of Salami,

To the retardeen, he has cleansed the Judiciary by getting rid of Salami as i was discussing earlier, whereas this isnt true.

all the time making no sense whatsoever

ur opinion which obviously is senseless

agabaI23: @Demdem

Why then did you exonerate Buhari of complicity when monumental corruption was uncovered in PTF under his nose?
You said, it was not him. It was his subordinates!!!

naijaking1: ^^
You want Allison Madueke fired without full investigation, but you want to give Lawan benfit of doubt?

ifihearam: If I say I am totally disapppinted in Farouk Lawan its an understatement,that midget is a thief and he even had the audacity to produce an indictment report.

I strongly believe Obj had this before he openly called them rogues,perhaps Otedola went to him with the evidence

DOKON: GEJ transformation agenda is all a mirage. My own opinion is that he (GEJ) is at the root of all these.
Farouk was pressurized by the leadership of the House to go 0tedola's house.
I feel so sorry for him to have fallen so cheaply to the plot

comradefery: First, let me state that i do not know Otedola,i have never seen him before except on Televion and News papers, i have never benefited from his so called billions, and I'm not from his part of the country. If there was any body i admired among the two warring parties, it was Lawan. It's a pity you are whipping up sentiment and dwelling in the usual Nigerian rhetoric of, "I'm Not the Only thief and ' They are prosecuting me because i did this and that" rather than judge these combatants based on available words and actions. Didn't you hear Lawan deny ever collecting a dime, only to make a u turn and admitted? I think you deserve absolute pity for being very warped, blind to written words, and emotionally disorganized to the extent of accusing those whose responses are based on available confession and facts, of being warped.Before you comment in a forum like this, try and read through the lines, listen to the news, and use your brains!

Omonpp: Initially you did not collect money
Later you agreed you collected money
Finally you wanted to expose Otedola with what evidence, bring out the money if you know you have not spent from it. Thief
