benjy4uy2k: too bad for the lawmaker but my own opinion is that d commettee reeport has to be looked into,Otedola must go down first. If you have a personal problem with Otedola, why not just say it? Dunce! |

Billyonaire: If Farouk Lawan is not sent to jail, I move a motion, that the Nairaland citizen initiate a natiionwide street protest, all in favor, say "HI!", the HI's have it. No room for "nay".A man is innocent until proven guilty by a competent law court |

Billyonaire: Its time for NLanders to know who the real enemy is. Now, the panel report isnt worth implementation because it is based on lies and frivolities. Lawan, let the Nigerian populace down, and the effort of the GEJ led executive to prosecute the scammers has been ruined by Lawan. I miss China, Lawan would have been beheaded by now.i disagree with you on the validity of the report, my view is that the report is a good one but its just that only GOD know how many pple bribed their way out of being nailed like otedola |

I am so happy that Farouk has finally come to face the law. All this while, it has been an issue of media trial. And I wondered aloud whether the immunity clause now extends to lawmakers. I found it very difficult to reconcile why neither the SSS nor the Police nor the EFCC deemed it fit to apprehend the suspect in the face of glaring evidence of corruption. But im happy now and await patiently for his formal charge to court. This is the mother of all bribery scandals. Even the Etteh saga is a child's play compared to this. At least in Etteh's case, the issue was that the house leadership earmarked 529 or 640m fr d renovation of their official quarters. The moni had not been used and at least some would have still gone into the actual renovation of the house. The grouse was that the contract was overinflated yet Farouk ran riot and formed the integrity group until Etteh was impeached. Now Mr integrity has been caught in a more direct case of bribery. The gist is that he was caught in direct taking of bribes in what is going to be a classical precedent of corrtuption. In the history of corruption in this country, no body has been caught pants down as in this case. I laugh when People accuse GEJ of sponsoring Farouk's ordeal. What can be more foolish? Is it GEJ that asked Farouk to sneak into Otedola's house at night to collect money . Or is it GEJ that asked him to substitute those companies in the list like Willie Willie? Did Gej also order him at gun point to admit taking the bribe money after initially denying ever collecting such money? People should leave d president alone. I heard the NLC president blamed the president. I have not confirmed it officially. So for me, it's all rumors. He can't say such a thing. He's the one who has been at the vanguard of the fight against corruption in the management of the oil subsidy regime. So he can't reprobate to condemn the capture and exposure of what has come to be the biggest casualty in this subsidy scams. Let's celebrate and work towards catching more. |

PStylish: Most Nairalanders are all too pessimistic with Madam Kobojunkie being chief of the lot.. If farouk is found guilty am afraid d appropriate punishment for him is either life in prison or d death penalty, this is not just a case of bribery,it is called treason! He betrayed d trust and responsibility bestowed on him. |

FELLOW NIGERIANS, ELECTING PEOPLE INTO A PRIVILAGED POSITION IS A CHOICE WE ARE SUPPOSED TO MAKE AS OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE. WE NIGERIANS HAVE MADE EXTREMELY BAD CHOICES IN THE PEOPLE WE HAVE ELECTED OR ALLOWED TO BE CRIMINALLY SELECTED. CONSTITUTION OR NOT, WE HAVE NOW GONE PAST THE TIME WE SHOULD ALL WAKE UP COLLECTIVELY AND KICK THESE CROOKS OUT. NIGERIA IS BETTER-OFF WITH MILITARY MEN WHO WILL FORCE US TO DO AS THEY WISH, THAN ALLOWING PEOPLE THAT ARE ELECTED TO REPRESENT US, DOING WORSE THAN WE WOULD HAVE EXPECTED FROM THE ARMED FORCES. IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE IN SALARY BETWEEN THE POLITICIANS AND THE ARMED FORCES ? YET THESE POLITICIANS WHO AWARDED THEMSELVES HUGE SALARIES AS WELL AS BENEFITS, CONTINUED TO ROB US SO SHAMELESSLY. I BLAME THE 'GROUNDNUT & GARRI' ARMED FORCES OFFICERS WHO CAN NOT EVEN FIND THE COURAGE TO DEFEND US BY STANDING UP AND KICKING THESE CROOKS OUT. I NOW OPENLY CALL ON THE ARMED FORCES TO TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, BECAUSE OUR CRIMINAL POLITICIANS ARE HELP BENT ON DESTROYING NIGERIA. EVERY MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES OF NIGERIA SWORE TO "PROTECT NIGERIA AGAINST BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ENEMIES". IT IS NOW VERY CLEAR THAT THE NIGERIAN POLITICIANS ARE UNREPENTANT ENEMIES OF THE STATE OF NIGERIA. MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES SHOULD MOVE IMMEDIATELY TO SAVE NIGERIA RIGHT NOW! SHAME ON THE ARMED FORCES IF THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW THIS CRIMINALITY IN NIGERIA!! |

Why give $620,000 bribe?!!. Why not demand or give $50,000 or less. I'm really worried about the level of greed in Nigeria these days. We have lost all values and respect for money. ARE WE STILL A POOR NATION ?. In China, a piblic official was given a life sentence for receiving $10,000 bribe. If you bring $10,000 to most public officials in Nigeria as bribe, you will be scorned. Now everything is in 100s of millions or billions. Where is this country heading to ?. Why was it possible for Otedola to collect $240m forex without any intention of importing fuel ?. Why are all the payments made up front? Nigeria is a very sick nation indeed. Farouk Lawan SHOULD NOT have gone that road in the first place. No matter what he wanted to prove. Now, he should do the time while Otedola refunds OUR money he stole. |

police custody u said? no be police custody bankole go before? and what happened next? if i am lawal, i will never ever bring out that money. shebi na bribe abi, i don take am make them do me what they did to other politicians that have done what i did. it is a shame that pdp as a party lacks men and women who have shame in their eyes. obasanjo a couple of weeks ago called the senate a house for rogues and non of them could challenge that. pdp is a house of rogues so let me see if anyone will challenge me for that. from joe to the last pdp member, they are all rogues including rev father obasanjo. |

Castos: ;DHEHEHEHEHEHE! But how sure are your that he'd be prosecuted in this corrupt nation. Because i thought so on Iya abo obasanjo, and Bankole's case too. Farouk gat many backbones, believe me. this is different, the world is watching, otedola has an image at stake and an empire to run. Faroook was partial all along concerning the probe. It was a case of witchhunt,greed from the very begining. Moreover, their are too many evidence against him. Just too many. The present probe report is watery and tainted. Another has to be conducted. |

edicolove:You don't get it. GEJ, SLS and NOI made us beleive that there are Cabals and Sharks eaten Billions from the country. Many said it wasn't true, won't mention names. Now a committee put together to prove the existence of this Cabals and Sharks has been dealt a heavy blow. As it stands now there is no proof. So why should we let GEJ and his cohorts remove the Subsidy totally? Maybe Lawan is one of the Cabals GEJ, SLS and NOI caught. |

The Ayes have it you mean. Symbolic of our lost state as a people that most of us would have made the same error. Our imported political system has no basis or grounding in our societies and that's why we not only abuse it, but struggle to spell it's catchphrases. |
