check45: This House is being smart by half... how? Cleverly refering the matter to the Ethics and Privileges Committee. A commitee know NEVER to have sanction any corrupt lawmaker. Tambuwal speech was all decietfull grammar but no honest action. Till now the so called ethics committee has not met over Hembes issue, while Hembe still enjoys privileges of his office.Farouks case will also naturally die down in the House. IT IS SIMPLY A HOUSE OF THIEVES. That is there business. Bribery is a crime!!! Screw ethics committee, there is evidence. I think you are giving the house too much power, they are not a law unto themselves. I will be and have been looking to the police and judiciary to resolve this matter, not the house! |

say-d-fact: Billyonaire: No, people have given up, most of the people here were busy critising GEJ, now the very truth open in their eyes, they dont know what to type. truth has prevailed in the end. Bruv, boys just weak o, I swear. GEJ is in no way absolved, just that its heartbreaking to discover that everywhere you look we are actually submerged in corruption. |

Billyonaire: I was happier when I wasnt listening to Nigerian News and not even caring about the polity, I was more focused on US politics and I decided I should pay attention here and may be I could decide to vie and change certain things in future. But, I have decided today, I am no more interested in what happens in Nigerian Polity, my sensibility is insulted by what I saw today on TV. To hell with Nigeria politics.Bro, as unfortunate as it is, your post above is the Gospel truth. The Nigerian political scene is a depressing place to be involved with, if you are an observer like the vast majority of us are. Each passing day, brings forth more absurdities than you can stomach. Some posters made a reference to knowing your representatives by name, not a bad suggestion but does it really change anything? I doubt. The name of my rep. in the House is Prof Chudi Uwazurike, he rarely comes to the house sittings and on those days he bothers to come he contributes Nothing to discussions on the floor of the house. I have written to him more than once, yet no reply and no change. As for my Senator, Amb. Nwagwu his case is equally gloomy. |

The HOR is just blowing hot air. Most of them are bunch of corrupt politicians who can't hold a proper day job - very dubious in character. Nothing, absolutely zilch will come out of this useless and time wasting episode. Can't remember when a representative of questionable character was actually reprimanded or charged to the law court. Talking of the law courts that's another basket case. God wil not come down to help us, we have to be prepared to take real, decisive and effective actions that will cause a vibration shaking the National Assembly to its foundations. |
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by Nobody: 2:46pm On Jun 15, 2012 |
livapul86: at least nairalanders now know that Prof Chudi Uwazurike and Amb. Nwagwu are two no-good thieving scum from the pit of hell. Unless otherwise proven. I will find my reps and relay my complaints. If they choose to ignore, I will post their names here and elsewhere, slander them for all they're worth, for as long as it takes. Sooner or later word will get to them through their families. |

The problem of corruption is not just GEJ inactivity.It is not even PDP issue.It is in all the arms of government and all political parties ,PDP, ACN,others.It is a problem of the political class against the people. Both the executive and legislature,ruling and opposition parties are all corrupt e.g. the ongoing prosecution of the Speaker of Lagos Assembly while he still parrades himself about as Speaker. What does ACN has to say about that |

since when has the house of rep become security agency to carry out investigation on a crime? the theif was caught red handed, and nigerian legislators are speaking grammar. thats what they get paid for with tax payer's money |
Re: LIVE: Special House Of Reps Session On Bribery Scandal by check45: 3:14pm On Jun 15, 2012 |
The House has shown that it has no shame by immediately re-inserting Otedolas name in the report. It smacks of vindictiveness. I hope they wont collectively attack more of his business interests now. Any visible person that openly talks about the Houses corruption always get delt with by them... remember Dino Melaye |

That this matter is being heard on the floor of the house of reps is commendable. If it was a matter involving a senator and the senate, David Mark would have since buried it because he eats, breathes and thrives very well on corruption. And there is nothing Jonathan and ten EFCC can do about it. |

omosexy1: The House of Reps constitutes committee of the whole to reconsider involvement of Otedola's company in fuel subsidy scam. Isn't that the right thing or you just want them to throw the baby with the bath water. Its important to get to the root of the bribery issue. The committee indicted Otedola's firms for requesting and getting about $253m and did not use it for what the firms asked for. Isn't that fraud. If its true? Let's try and be fair to all parties. Agreed Lawan messed himself up, but Otedola's firms should go under forensic search light. |

Na today yansh start to dey for back? My challenge with the Nigerian polity is that we the individuals are not sincere even to ourselves so how do we expect the government to be sincere to us. Despite all this mess we witness, I can bet you we would still make the same mistake in the forth coming election. Just try to do what you can do by reaching out to those you can and giving them the bad advise as we all cannot just keep taking our hands off the Nigerian situation although it is very pathethic. |

Really, I don't understand; one the things that should happen is that Otedola's comapny should be back on the list. This is the accusation agaisnst Lawan: he collected $3 million bribe to take off Otedola's two companies of the list of the companies idicted. Let both Lawan and Otedola take their matters to the Law i.e let Lawan be invistagted and punished for taking bribe and tampering with the list presented by the consultants who worked on the case. Let Otedola go to court and prove the innicence if his companies. He is a billionaire, so that should not be a problem for him. The names of his company should be back on the list because it's now glaring they were removed because of the bribe money collected. Simple |

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!! |

I'm still surprised that after all the extensive discuss and reports on this matter, some people still can't take some salient points to heart and show they're well educated and can comprehend what they just read. People are still mentioning that Zenon collected $232, 975, 385.13 while Synopsis Enterprises collected $51, 449, 977.47 for oil that they never "exported" instead of import-- Haba! make we wise up small na. The reality here is that they bought these amounts of dollars from the CBN at the official exchange rate of the Naira to the Dollar at that period giving the CBN the impression that they want to use it for their business transactions which we all know is Oil and Gas. IT IS NOT THAT THEY OBTAINED A GRANT OR EVEN A LOAN FROM THE CBN OR FED GOVT OF NIGERIA. IT IS STILL THEIR OWN MONEY. Investigating this act will be an absolute waste of time because they - the companies will point you to a thousand and one things which they did with the procured FOREX. THE best they can be prosecuted for is that they lied to the CBN on the true use of the procured FOREX, WHICH WE ALL KNOW NO ONE HAS EVER BEEN SENTENCED TILL DATE IN NIGERIA FOR YET. Moreover most banks even do it, present fake requests to CBN at the weekly DAS and then go back to sell it at exhorbitant prices to their customers. Some banks even have Abokis and BDGs that they sell these currencies to and get huge returns from. They call it "round tripping" in their financial sector so pls let's try and understand the basic facts of this issue before we start calling for the head of Otedola, instead we should be grateful that he took the bold step of exposing all these dis-honourable thieves that call themselves Honourables. Can anyone here beat their chest that the likes of Dangote, Adenuga, Jim Ovia, Oba Otudeko and other business moguls in this country have not at one time or the other given bribes to induce govt officials? Abeg make we give this guy a break jo. I for one already have plans to buy the pen video recorder to record most of these corrupt officials that demand bribes before doing what they're been paid to do and posting them here and on youtube. Can you imagine for over two years now I can't get a common C of O in Oyo State and the woman handling it has already collected over N200K from me. The last one that caused quarrel was when she asked me to bring another N30k to get another Tax Clearance meaning I'd have paid about N60K alone for tax clearance for getting C of O of just one plot, she's there claiming the first one expired... can you beat that. Oyo State would not accept my Lagos State tax Clearance for purpose of getting a C of O in Ibadan, is this not Nigeria anymore? Abeg we still have a long way to go my people!!! 1 Like |
