And can you please stop acting like them zombies as well cos this is the definition of a ghost worker.
A ghost employee or worker is someone recorded on the payroll system, but who does not work for the business. The ghost can be a real person who knowingly or not is placed on the payroll, or a FICTITIOUS person invented by the dishonest employee.
Now take note of the other definition that says OR A FICTITIOUS PERSON......
and the definition of a fictitious person simply means a nonexistent person, guess you know the definition of a nonexistent person... So for your info the wailers are right when they say you can't charge a ghost to EFCC. Thank you sir!

Lawd Behind every scam, however sophisticated, is a scammer who can be linked with the scam and prosecuted for it. Do you gerrit now? The EFCC will not be attempting to prosecute any ghosts but they will try to bring to book those who loot Nigeria by creating bogus accounts of non-existent workers who are then paid by the FG for doing nothing. Simple enough concept for anyone to understand.

josescotch:
U r d clown, when dey say ghost workers doest it mean dey don't exist? It means someone else has been a perpetrating fraud thru dem by receiving allowances with those identities

Thank you. Some Nigerians are so irritating in their idiocy to the extent you will even want to know if they attended primary school given that they talk senseless gibberish one would not hear from a well-educated 5 year old child. Which adult is foolish enough to think "ghost worker" means that ghosts are going around collecting salary? Of course there are real people behind these fake accounts and they should be brought to book. This is the very point of the whole article yet senseless GEJ/PDP fans will pretend not to get this simple point because of their 24/7 obsession to only see/speak negatives about the Buhari/APC government.

JOESAJIB:
We shall soon break record in this country.
Ghosts will be caught and jailed.
We need to quickly build separate ghost prisons and cells because prison inmates will scamper for safety when the convicted ghosts arrive.

Too many kids seeking comedy relief on Nairaland these day. Is it not better for you to go and watch basketmouth to gain good 'materials' instead of coming here with your dry and senseless attempt at humour? Who does not know 'ghost worker' is just a term describing how real and very much alive Nigerians set up accounts for workers who do not exist and do no work at all yet end up being paid a salary by the FG? This is a serious issue and a positive development any responsible Nigerian would praise.

Massive, revolutionary and all-encompassing cost-cutting and cleaning up of waste in government spending saved the UK after the credit crunch. We should all praise th PMB government for being brave and resolute enough to try and do similar in Nigeria. you kids should sometimes be sensible to avoid serious topics, with serious implications for many ordinary Nigerians, if your number one obsession is to act like children only interested in 'catching fun' rather than contributing sensibly to the topic under discussion.

bdidi:



I guess they are just catching their fun with the word GHOSTWORKERS.

The true meaning of the Op's write up cannot be overemphasized.

Its a good start anyway. But you sef......na wa for u o!

Wetin GEJ do you sef.....if na d BVN....na today BVN start? No be GEJ bring am on board. If he was giving the second chance...do u think he would not have towed this line of action?

Let's leave GEJ out of this and concentrate on what is on the front burner.

All the theoretical apparatus Buhari's govt is using to block the leakages now were all laid down during GEJ's tenure. Let's be realistic here and leave sentiments.

GEJ is the biggest and most heartless crook to ever rule Nigeria because he presided over a period where Nigeria earned, by far, more money than she has ever made courtesy of high oil price yet Jonathan ensured no benefit of that good fortune accrued to Nigerians. The only thing worse than the reprehensible and very corrupt rule of GEJ, which would probably see him executed without trial in China because of the scale of corruption under him, is to see his die-hard fans who wanted him to carry on for another 4 years vehemently criticising a government that is already a million times better than the GEJ government.

You tell us that GEJ introduced this and that yet how many of what GEJ introduced did he have the sincerity or pro-people will to implement? What is the point of initiating measures that benefit ordinary Nigerians yet you are the same person ensuring they can never take advantage of those measures or innovations?

A good example is the TSA, The TSA was ratified for use years ago but GEJ would not utilise it as it would block the food channel for 'awon boyz' yet Buhari implemented the use of TSA within months. What is then the use of you telling us GEJ initiated positive policies we all know our former President never had the decency to implement anything that favours ordinary Nigerians to the detriment of looters, AGIPs and political opportunists? They all became stinkingly rich under GEJ and it is obvious to any objective Nigerian that Jonathan was nothing but a highly unprincipled crook who was in place to lead for his kind i.e fellow crooks. This explains why GEJ , despite the many positive policies and innovations, never implemented anything that messed with or threatened the free-for-all looting going on. Very rich that his blindly loyal supporters are now the one ones wanting to give Buhari a hard time when PMB, in 8 months, has made many positive moves GEJ would never dare or care to make if he was President for 100 years.

CyberWolf:
How can you hand over ghost workers to EFCC? .. Something that doesn't exist? .. This woman is a clown I swear..

No. She is no clown. You are the clown with how you miss what is obvious. The article is simple to understand but you PDP/GEJ fan , because you never mean well for the Buhari government, will deliberately misinterpret what even a child can understand. Her point is that the ghost workers situation is a scam obviously abetted by government insiders, banks etc. Handing the case over to the EFCC will help establish who did what to the extent some criminals created so many ghost workers to steal Nigeria's wealth. It is obvious to even a child that 23,000 ghost workers does not mean 23,000 Nigerians are receiving pay they did not work for. Rather, it could be one mastermind in charge of 1000, 2000 or even 5000 salary claims. this is what the EFCC has to look into.

Did the GEJ you support clannishly, till today, ever attempted to do anything like this? No. Because his mentality is to let Nwobodo and every crook steal what they want without repercussion. Nigeria will march forward and there will be nada you and other enemies of progress can do about this. Imagine you a clannish supporter of GEJ who wanted him to carry on in power now insulting Buhari and his appointees. I repeat that you are the clown and not Kemi Adeosun. the section quoted below is self-explanatory enough for any reasonable Nigerian to note Adeosun is talking about arresting every aspect of what is clearly a complex conspiracy to loot Nigeria. Yet I can't expect IPOB wailers and clannish GEJ fans to ever see reason or support what/who is right.

Speaking when she appeared before the committee, the Minister said banks that connived with the workers to pad the Federal government payroll are going to be prosecuted too.

Topeakintola:
IPOB wailer

Why dont you march to Aso Rock and force him to resign?

I am not joking when I say that I score Buhari 90% on his performance so far. He has the potential to become the greatest President ever seen in Africa

Is he facing challenges? Yes

Is he making some mistakes? Yes

But I know that Nigeria's public finances is safe with him

All the noise from IPOB wailers is because of stealing is now corruption

Thank you for the commonsensical post. Of course Buhari is currently facing some difficult challenges but such is to be expected in a nation that is probably the most difficult to lead in the entire world. It is only the misguided IPOB brats who are wailing most because they want Nigeria to fail. As if we don't know their anger and current nuisance agitation stems from the fact GEJ was removed from office and thus unable to damage Nigeria further and precipitate her break - up as they desperately wanted.

All patriotic Nigerians who know what Buhari is facing will give him their support but also criticise him when he does wrong so that Mr.President does not begin taking Nigerians for granted. I still believe him to be the right man for the job and I am willing to give him time to perform while remaining dedicated to my civic duty to criticise Buhari and his government constructively and objectively.

Your first line ruined everything and shows informed and reasonable Nigerians you are not to be taken seriously. Yes Buhari has made mistakes but for you to ask him to resign "for the failure to give us light after nearly a year in office" just reveals you are not sincere. If we check your past posts will it be revealed you are a GEJ fan who wanted him to carry on for 4 more years after he could not give you "light" over 5 years he was in power and oil sold for over $100.00 per barrel for majority of that period i.e 2010 to 2015 ? Will your past post show the hypocrisy of an IPOB sympathiser happy for GEJ to deliver 9 years of darkness yet you now want miracles from Buhari after 8 months and under the most economically austere period Nigeria has faced in a long time?

plendil:
No need defending the indefensible. The budget is a fraud, an exercise of daylight robbery, an unmitigated embarrassment and Buhari must take FULL responsibility.

First the case of the missing budget, then the allegations of substitutions, then lately the health minister, in a most embarrassingly stomach-wrenching moment conceivable, claiming the budget he saw wasn't his.

PMB, you owe we your supporters an apology.

However, attempts by pro-GEJ folks to make cheap gains is nauseating. Didn't you guys consider it curious that last year the money spent on purchase of books last year was N7m for the VP office, almost double that for this year? Are you guys aware house rent issue was part of 2014 and 2015 budget?

There is clearly something seriously and fundamentally flawed with our budgeting process. PMB should do the needful asap.

Well-said. Your post is spot on in every regard. Buhari needs to take a firm grip of the situation as far as the budget issue is concerned as this is an embarrassment to him personally and to many of us who backed him passionately because we 100% believed PMB would do things in a different and exemplary way that will take cognisance of the reality on ground and the need to cut cost as much as possible so more is available to spend on Nigerians in a very austere period in our history.

Some budgeted allocation are so unnecessary and superfluous to purpose that one must assume this budget was 'padded' by those not on board with buhari's change agenda. Yet one would wonder who has the audacity to do such knowing there will be consequences for embarrassing the Buhari-led FG and why no oversight inspection of the budget by a trusted member of the PMB Government before all this amateurish drama we are seeing? to be honest Buhari needs to act decisively and fast. An explation from the APC to Nigerians will also be in order.

Teddeebear:
lol,
the last time I checked Gej is not interested in Nigerian politics, he has washed his hands off, so that those who claimed that they know it all take over.

so i don't know the idea of what you mean by gej supporter.

The problem with you guys is simple, you never saw anything good in him, so. pro gej had every right to defend him

The idea of thinking that buhari can study the entire budget and supervise effectively.. the all the ministry is not possible.

If he tries it he will breakdown. The only reasonable thing is to appoint people he can trust not compensating political party of course, he will step on toes.

Much better post with a reasonable tone people will respond to rather unlike you previous style based on insulting others needlessly. I agree with you about the part in bold even as I must stress that Buhari still has to raise his awareness of everything going on under the Presidency and he must improve his ability to supervise and oversee the activities of important public officials. This is indeed the point me and Aressa make here. After so much time in office Buhari should have his 'crew' in place so if he fails we blame him squarely. Why entertain the very dangerous situation of leaving 'soiled hands' from the past regime in charge of very important processes and office when PMB should have his own trusted and competent allies, who key into his change and transformation agenda, in place?

I can't stand the excuse of claiming bad advisers and appointees misled or undermined "good leaders". A good and competent leader's main strength must be the ability to put round peg in round holes to deliver success. You may not know it but we are saying the same thing. Buhari will not have it easy from APC supporters and he will not be allowed to hide behind "bad" advisers or appointees excuse when we all know he is free to sack and replace them with more competent men and women who will deliver for Nigeria.

Teddeebear:

blame game continues, was the ministers not supposed to go through the budget before sending it to buhari, hahaha liars you need to liar every day to cover up your poo, the rubbish bills for State house is Gej appointees working in state house, hahaha

your lies is disgusting.

The minister of health confessed that his budget was tempered with who took the budget for correction, Gej's appointeees hahaha

liars, you people are disgusting, yuck!!

Directors in ministry are never by appointment, it is purely civil service promotion. liarssssssss?

Is something wrong with you or were you just born rude and uncouth ? You are the one who is disgusting with how you cannnot quote others politely and must lead with insults like a frustrated soul. Where is the "blame game" or "lies" in my post? Do you not see where I charge Buhari to accept full responsibility and begin taking 100% control with his own appointments and directives ? It is instructive that nairaland APC supporters are already critically appraising Buhari, after 8 months in office, and concluding his effort is not good enough in some regards. This is very different to GEJ fans who watched him destroy Nigeria for 5 years yet clannishly and zealously demanded he get 4 more years in charge while they totally ignored the glaring misrule and looting under Jonathan. It is obvious APC fans mean well for Nigeria and are always ready to look beyond the individual, i.e PMB in this case, to support what is right while Jonathan fans know no better than to shout "GEJ till 2080" up and down like mindless zombies.

I personally still believe in PMB but I think he must now take firmer control of activities in every sector under him and he must take his oversight duties very, very seriously lest charlatans and self-serving appointees of government destroy the credibility of his government and take Nigeria back to square one in the process. The excuses under GEJ of "good President led astray by bad appointees/advise" will not be tenable under Buhari because the APC is a different animal consisting of people who want the best for Nigeria and not clannish bigots who will support their misruling kinsman blindly via delivering 100% votes for him as reward for said leader taking Nigeria backwards horribly. This is why some of us are urging Buhari to sit up. He is lucky that APC supporters are mainly reasonable and balanced Nigerians seeking the best for their nation and not ethnocentric charlatans who will keep praising him while Nigeria is moving backwards.

To be honest this development is the sort even the most staunch fan of Buhari cannot and should not defend. This is a disappointment and Buhari must move decisively to resolve this budget bruhaha that is making his government look fraudulent and no different to that he he promised us he would operate different to. Buhari is beginning to lose the goodwill of Nigerians after they believed in him and made sacrifices for his win in the hope he would be "change". I am disappointed. Really dissapointed with this budget saga. It shows a very serious disconnection between Buhari and those under him.

Like Aressa asked, why has Buhari kept on the many crooks who brought down the GEJ government? No deserving Nigerians to replace them? I doubt that. PMB should sit up and start taking 100% control with his own appointees and directives. Otherwise we are back to square one and some of us will simply begin considering how to replace an ineffective government that cannot move us forward.

dustmalik:

Read your comment again and see if it makes any sense at all. Too many children on Nairaland. This is why I avoid coming on here these days.

Precisely. The saddest thing is that they are not children in age either.

Sounds a bit draconian but it may be what Lagos needs as there are too many lawless folks in that city.

Baawaa:

Point of correction, Fayose only popular among the touts and lazy ones in Ekiti.

Indeed. It is only someone from a region where they worship miscreants who would assume Fayose can ever be a 'hero' in the SW.

@Topic.

Fayose the shameless attention-seeker talking hypocritical nonsense as usual. We are to believe he thought GEJ was the wrong candidate yet Fayose was the most malevolently vocal noisemaker in support of GEJ to the extent he was even taking out expensive newspaper ad to wish Buhari death. These guys take Nigerians for fools to be honest. Fayose and FFK more or less made themselves leaders of project 'GEJ must win'. That Fayose now throws GEJ under the bus is proof of how unprincipled and deceitful a human being he is. His pre-election antics , where he proclaimed GEJ the 'best' for Nigeria, did not happen 30 years ago. It was only last year and we remember well so Fayose should shut up and spare us his attention-seeking pomo and fish showmanship. He is now stale.

PROVACATEUR:
Fayose will always be a hero in SW and Nigeria

I can only assume you are not from the SW. It will do you well to stop speaking for a region you know nothing about. Aside Ekiti, where they are even getting fed up of his empty 'showman' style, Fayose is viewed with disdain in the SW. You are of course free to celebrate him but don't mention the SW in your hero worship of an empty barrel whose days are numbered. Only an Omoluabi can be viewed a hero in the SW and Fayose is no omoluabi. This is what sets the SW aside from some other regions where cads are worshipped and viewed as role models.

Indeed. Buhari is a man many Nigerians, whether kings or paupers, respect immensely. To be honest, the man is the next thing to a saint in a nation where most of her leaders are shameless and very wicked thieves.

The Italian PM is right.

What a joke Jonathan is. So Buhari will officially align himself with the individual who has landed Nigeria in so much trouble ? This Jonathan sef. I guess he really does not "give a damn"

Put a sock in it mate. Are you guys not ashamed? You cannot even wait for Osun indigenes to give their opinion as stakeholders before you all pile in to comment negatively and hatefully. You and others should learn to mind your own business if all you can contribute is negativity when there is no need for such.

@Post

Like someone commented earlier, falling oil price is turning out a blessing in disguise. It is now simply a case of diversify and look beyond oil or starve.

jidestar:


Thank u brother Gbawe for your contribution but as highlighted you provided the rebuttals for your own claim.

The first question here is whether any Igbo, Yoruba or hausa man have the right to advocate independence from Nigeria?

This is the central issue and with regards to the threats u rightly noted that Kanu had no authority to enforce them. Freedom of speech does not discriminate from threat. A threat is not a crime. Since his arrest have the Nigerian Government found him with any weapons or Army? He is just a guy with an opinion, just like me and you.

Biafra is an online state so why lock an individual up for something mythical as u say? That don't make sense.

The central point is that Kanu has formed a lawless and anarchic movement, like Boko Haram, capable of fermenting trouble for Nigeria if not checked. I call Kanu and his IPOB followers lawless and anarchic because of how they went about their agitation. I personally have no issues with the Igbos getting their Biafra nation. The right to self-determination is not the problem. While agitating for such, you must not do so promoting the ideas that others, mainly the Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani" are demons to be exterminated via deliberately and deceitfully selling them as the main threat standing in the way of a "free Biafra".

Indoctrinating impressionable minds with falsehood is dangerous. This is what is mainly responsible for terrorism as we know it today and someone like Buhari, because of his background, understands this. Kanu has said and done enough for the Buhari government to believe he is a 'Pied piper' who can lead others to become a security threat against Nigerian lives and property. We all saw this with IPOB members promising to kill any Yoruba pastor that defies Kanu's order for them not to set foot in Igboland. I don't see how you cannot appreciate that this is unacceptable and that the FG is left with no choice but to act firmly and decisively.

NormalCodes:


Oga how far, Boko burned children alive. Sup?

Will Boko Haram disappear overnight considering the menace your hero GEJ and his boys (Dasuki et al) allowed the terror group to metamorphose into? Meanwhile is Boko Haram still holding Nigerian territory the size of Belgium today as was the case under GEJ? That is 'whatsup' folks like you will not acknowledge. Go to the article below to be reminded of the bad old days under GEJ to note real progress has been made in 8 months under Buhari even if the war is not won yet.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/11337722/Boko-Haram-is-now-a-mini-Islamic-State-with-its-own-territory.html



http://edinburghint.com/insidetrack/boko-haram-incident-map-september-2014-january-2015/

Boko Haram Incident Map: September 2014 – January 2015

Following last week’s devastating attack on the last remaining government held town in Borno North, Baga, Islamic insurgent group Boko Haram are now believed to control approximately 20,000 square miles of land in north-eastern Nigeria; an area equivalent to the size of Belgium.

jidestar:
Not every Judge have an understanding of legal principle or learned. Judge Tsoho is a disgrace to the legal profession.

Before u kill me I am not an IPOB or Biafran, just a fair observer, just like earlier Judges that handled the case.

Have you been following events? Why insult the judge and question his ability when he is totally correct about Kanu? Is Kanu not the same individual who said Yoruba pastors must not step in Igboland to preach? Do you know the implication of that announcement? First of all, in a sovereign State, Kanu, like Boko Haram, is trying to impede the freedom of movement of others when he has no right or authority to do.

Secondly there is proof Kanu incited others dangerously with that announcement because members of IPOB pledged to kill Yoruba pastors for kanu if they set foot in Igboland. Thirdly, asking others not to set foot in Igboland means Kanu is assuming the Presidency of a mythical State within Nigeria. The real President and legitimate Government therefore is duty bound to show Kanu that all Igbo States are still part of Nigeria and must obey the laws and constitution of Nigeria.

This is not the GEJ Government where the terrorist group Boko Haram controlled territory others could not set foot in. Under this government, neither Kanu, Boko Haram or anyone else will be allowed to act like a breakaway state or territory. That is just one example and I don't even need to give more where Kanu threatened other Nigerians and declared a readiness to fight Nigeria and Nigerians. Bottom line is that, as they say in the UK, the FG and the legal system of Nigeria has Kanu "bang to rights". The fool talked and threatened himself into serious trouble to the extent it is very, very easy to make a legit case for denying him bail.

dammytosh:


Did u see sensible cause ?

Can you check what i posted again ?

but rather than starting with memorandum and votes to even ask, how many people are willing to go ?

EternalTruths:


Keep fooling Buhari.

Little by little Nigeria will be seen as an oppressive nation that needs to be dismantled to free the oppressed nations within her

Give a dog a bad name to hang it. That's what IPOB is doing to Nigeria.

Remember the Balkan Nations..

No. IPOB is rather giving the Igbo ethnic group a bad name. The educated world can see through the hypocrisy and insincerity of IPOB and its deceitful leaders like Nnamdi Kanu who basic investigations will show are scammers more interested in personal self-enrichment than any genuine struggle for an independent Igbo nation.

What the world sees, and what factual records support, is an ethnic group that was very much include in running the last regime, before that of Buhari a Northerner, now acting like a spoilt brat. For example, NOI was the most powerful Minister in the last dispensation while Anyim and many other Igbos were important. The likes of Ifeanyi Uba raked in billions under GEJ and even worked for his re-election passionately. We never heard any secession noise then. There was no IPOB feverishness for the 5 years GEJ was President and favouring the Igbos. As soon as GEJ is gone and Buhari is sworn in then IPOB's hypocritical madness springs to life with an immediate and urgent secession agenda that was conveniently suspended for the years GEJ was President. Once the agitation for secession is discredited and seen to be insincere then it will 100% fail because of lack of empathy and support from those that matter.

Dude, no one is fooled but emotional folks like you. The world will only see this current Biafra agitation as the deliberately restive behaviour of ethnically intolerant folks who are not particularly law-abiding since they fail to respect and support a president with the electoral mandate of the majority of Nigerians. You will also be perceived as undemocratic sore losers who insist on having their way intolerantly in defiance of the universal tenet of democracy that stipulates "majority carries the vote". I.e the concept of Losers should graciously accepting defeat and support the choice of the majority for the greater good of society. Not so for IPOB losers. It does not help either that you guys, before the election, spammed the net with sayings like "ab.o.ki will never rule again" and "no GEJ no Nigeria" et al. You IPOB youths are awful and extremely sentimental strategists. You made too many mistakes and that is why you cannot gain the sympathy of anything/anyone important today. Currently you are showing yourselves more aggrieved about the loss of GEJ, and more supportive of him despite the awful revelations about his tenure, than even his own SS folks who are now sensibly distancing themselves from Jonathan. All this is extremely damaging to how the world views you. When you open a thread like this I can see that you have no capacity for embracing reality and zero willingness to see what others denote easily. this makes me conclude , whether today or in 100 years, you will always end up on the losing side.

zomby:


When you are fighting corruption in a lawless country like nigeria, there shouldn't be any disrimination. They are all thieves, they have disabled our country for too many years...they also took advantage of the word "DEMOCRACY" and used it to rob us blind...for this reasons I support fighting corruption from A to Z. That is simply the only way Nigeria will become a better country...anything else will be a waste of time.
Tinubu, Alao Akala, Gbenga Daniels, Odelli, Kalu, Igbinedion, Fayose, and many more should all be severely punished. These pigs are responsible for what our country is up against today.

Ideally all thieves should be brought to book but the essential point remains that the responsibility for fighting corruption does not fall on PMB alone. All tiers of government must fight it's own corruption battle. Buhari is doing it very well as head of the Federal tier of governance. State and local government should do their bit also and Buhari must not be held accountable for what those tiers of government fail to do.

Jideish:

I don't know why u guys don't just get the point. Amaechi is rivers state government business. Tinubu is any government he took money from business. All these arms deal is federal business and that's Buhari's business. Which I'm sure you know Tinubu and Amaechi were not federal then.

Bruv, Nigerians are lawless and this even shows in their criticism. How can Buhari start hounding Governors when that is the responsibility of the State Government? How can Buhari order the probe of Tinubu when the man, till 2015, was an opposition leader who left a State position, i.e governor, in 2007 and has had nothing to do with the federal government since then? People cannot just mention their favourite bogeyman all in the name of "impartial corruption fight". They must look at the character involved and figure out whether it is Buhari's priority or responsibility to probe that person.

For example, why ask Buhari to probe Tinubu when Fashola should have done so? Why ask Buhari to probe IBB when OBJ should have done so? What is the sense in charging Buhari to probe OBJ when Yar Adua failed to do this? People will just open their mouth talking nonsense without realising that Buhari is not anyone's personal policeman. His main responsibility is to probe the immediate government he replaced and make them accountable for any misconduct at federal government level and nothing else. Otherwise we will all be asking Buhari to come and arrest our local government chairman or state commissioner.

KINGwax007:
And Tinubu was what then? A senator? The finance minister?

This frog eye na error.

I bet she wasn't the one talking anyways...

So, why cldnt she have saved to today's rainy days when she was under Jonathan's regime...

Bros help me ask them oooh. Some folks simply cannot ever reason effectively or admit the glaring truth once it is their ethnic kinsman/woman under indictment for wrongdoing.

DropShot:

Ignoramus, didn't she and GEJ continue the sharing after OBJ. Dolt, OBJ didn't even allow the much sharing as witnessed under the Ineffectual Buffoon.

IPOB boys will never be sensible. NOI is nothing but a crook and upright Nigerians know it is only ethnic bigots who continue to defend her while trying to portray her a 'performer' whereas the entire world sees a crooked and morally bankrupt individual who failed woefully and assisted the gang-shagging of her own Country.

All these desperate attempt to absolve NOI of blame show that some people are simply operating with a level of ethnic bigotry other Nigerians cannot match. What is difficult about simply seeing beyond ethnicity to accept that NOI messed up and is a contributor to the current plight of Nigeria today? Same way they worshipped the lunatic called Kanu when they should have disowned the hateful charlatan and shown the world that, as decent people, the mad man is on his own and not speaking/acting for his ethnic group.

@OP

Are you not ashamed to present this lame argument here? So Tinubu, one man, is the all-powerful bogeyman that prevented a legitimately elected government from doing what is best for 170 million people especially when he was in the opposition camp? This is why many support and will continue to support Buhari. I.e Nigerians hate how the PDP is about giving excuses for why it cannot perform and is always ready to blame others for everything. Everyone can see that there are no excuses today under this government. Mistakes will be made along the way but the main thing to note is that the Buhari government, unlike others before it, understands the need to put Nigerians first and not hide behind flimsy excuses linked to what a single man or woman wants.

Today you will not hear that "Buhari wanted to do this for Nigeria but IBB overruled him" and such garbage. No one will say Buhari wanted to build a road beneficial to the ND but Tompolo prevented it or that Bode George is frustrating Buhari's effort to help Lagos deliver her rail network. You guys simply need to bin everything you know about leadership before today because you have been scammed. Real leaders do not hide and do not make excuses. Buhari is a real leader because he understands that real leaders do what must be done to protect and better the lot of those they lead regardless of whose Ox is gored.

oribi:
This country is just full of serious"BS" why chase only the past administration,when from time memorial from military regime to present democracy,The looters are still walking freeely..For me i feel this is a selective corruption crusade period..

How many times will it need to be explained to you guys that protocol and good old logic is the reason why a government is only duty bound to probe that before it? Think about it for a minute. It is not rocket science. If an irresponsible thief like GEJ did not probe those before him and the distracted Yar Adua could not probe his benefactors , i.e OBJ, while the duplicitous OBJ himself could not probe IBB and others who helped him gain power, then why place the burden on Buhari's shoulder to do what these past three President failed to do?

Don't you guys understand anything about scope of responsibility? Must Buhari now come and be doing what 3 Presidents before him failed to do, i.e probe the respective predecessors OBJ, Yar Adua and GEJ failed to do or should Buhari simply concentrate on the government he took over power from as leadership responsibility compels him to do? You guys should learn to shun sentiments when you talk. You are essentially asking Buhari to be responsible for every stage in our history from independence when he is only duty bound to look mainly at the government he took over from and its wrongdoing. With your line of thinking then Buhari should probe lord Lugard as well since you guys don't understand that a sitting President cannot be held accountable for the negligence and inaction of others before him.

Very good development if confirmed. I knew the cowardly Obanikoro took to his heels, even before PMB was sworn in, for very good reasons. They should crate the m.ofo back to Nigeria ojare
