Because you didn't read what you were expecting right?
Now tell me what is wrong with that statement

I don't blame the Federal Government. I blame Nigerians like you who consistently believe everything they say.

Read South African custom traveler's custom guide and see for yourself what is wrong with the statement.

All na wash. South Africa only wants to score a cheap point with this nonsense. You catch a guy on your friend's farm harvesting his yams and you shout thief! You then seize those yams. Now your friend comes and confirm that the guy was working for him. What remains is for you to give back the yams fast fast! Or the yams dey enter your eye ni? Olojukokoro

See reasoning! One in a million or 170million?

"Federal government will not release the names of those who ferried the $9.3 million to SA". With the speculation that Asari Dokubo was on the flight and the fact that Orestejefors's jet was used to haul the money confirms the great conspiracy of supplying BH with arms to destroy some parts of Nigeria and it's people. These plans dated back from Henry Okah's bombing at the Eagle square in 2011.

Nigeria and South Africa have no relationship. See it as a relationship gone sour, you breakup and both parties move on. The amount of time and energy invested in South africa is not worth it.

i don't see anything diplomatic here. two countries are involved yes but one went against the laws of another. Independent countries make their own laws and defend their own territories. if nigeria is lawless and ppl can carry millions around, south africa is saying is against their laws. if you are a president, your powers are limited to ur country and not making any efforts to rule over another.
Zuma cannot sole-handedly release those funds to nigeria - never.
Zuma must consult with his cabinet and the house has the final say. the problem with nigeria and nigerians is, we think because we run a one man govt here, that is how it is all over the world.
i think this pdp led govt is suffering from shame as a result of south africa's exposure of their illegalities.
nigeria will soon calm down when they are tired of making noise. we have no friends because nobody trusts this govt. you keep lying to the whole world and u take them for fools.

May God henceforth continue to touch and straighten Obasanjo's brain to only play these roles. The man was and is highly favoured by God. Infact he would been regarded as Gold by not only Nigerians but also the world over. There are Nigerians who would want Nigeria to become great through citizens like Obasanjo, Soyinka and other senior individuals. The other days both pdp and apc ran to him for inputs for better system in the country. Am happy over that but he will never agree to play those roles. Maybe by the next hour, he will change and put on the wears of tugs. Please if you are close to him, tell him Nigerians want him to become most popular across the world. Let him from now on play the great roles in moving the country forward.

An Army Colonel, some junior officers and
soldiers reportedly helped members of the
dreaded terrorist group, Boko Haram in the
North eastern part of the country.
According to Vanguard, the shocking revelation
which was made at the weekend occurred as
the military personnel were involved in the
offensive to reclaim communities taken over by
the Boko Haram terrorists in Adamawa
Nigerian soldiers fighting Boko Haram in the
Northern part of the country
A high ranking military personnel who did not
want to be named said, the colonel who is a
Muslim was Commanding a team of three
Armoured Personnel Carriers, APC’s, with the
capability of firing up to a range of
1.5kilometres or more, deliberately set the
APCs on fire between Gulak and Madagali, and
ran into the bush with his team instead of
firing at the advancing terrorists.
It was gathered that the Army authorities were
angered by the report and ordered the arrest of
the commander, the junior officers as well as
the soldiers under his command.
A source that was aware of the development
revealed that before the embarrassing incident
occurred, the Special Forces of the Nigerian
Army who commenced the putsch to rout
Boko Haram terrorists from Bazza, Michika,
Gulak and Madagali from Vimtim, had
successfully dealt with the sect, and inflicted
heavy casualties on the terrorists up till Gulak
He said between Gulak and Madagali, the
Colonel who had all along been prided with air
surveillance reports, was again informed that
Boko Haram terrorists were approaching his
team in six Toyota Hilux Pick Up vans from
the Madagali axis of the state.
“However, rather than blasting and taking out
the terrorists in their pick-up vans; he ordered
his soldiers to jump out of the APC’s and set
the armoured tanks on fire, without realising
that he was being monitored. This was
shocking because the terrorists were armed
with weaponry which were grossly inferior to
the firepower of the Nigerian Army Amoured
tanks. After accomplishing the sabotage act,
the Colonel and the junior officers and soldiers
ran away into the bush, claiming that they
were overpowered by a better armed group of
Boko Haram terrorists,” the source said.
The source further disclosed that the action of
the Colonel and soldiers under his command
ascertained the believes by the top hierarchy
of the military that there were so many fifth
columnists in the army working against the
country’s determination to wipe out Boko
Haram terrorists from Nigeria.
However, a Board of Inquiry, BoI, had been set
up by the Army authorities to investigate the
Colonel and his soldiers after which a Military
Court Martial would be set up to try them for
conspiracy, treason and willful sabotage
among others.
Reacting to the development, a senior officer
said: “You can now see why the Military Court
Martial which is currently sitting is inevitable.
The uninformed would feel that soldiers who
are fighting the nation’s battle are being
unjustly punished. But the truth is that many
of them are sabotaging Nigeria and making the
insurgents look formidable for reasons that
cannot be explained. Some of them appear
sympathetic to the insurgents. How can it be
explained that several APCs that cost up to
$1million each in some cases or more will be
willfully destroyed by Commissioned Officers,
COs, who swore to defend the territorial
integrity of their nation, just to help terrorists?
That is treason of the highest order.”
The source hinted that the new strength and
determination with which Nigerian soldiers had
been fighting Boko Haram, resulting in the
killing of several commanders of the sect as
well as hundreds of their foot soldiers, was
bore out of the resolve of the Nigerian army
high command to sanction any soldier
pursuing a different course aside that of the
Federal Government.
It would be recalled that Air Chief Marshal
Alex Badeh, the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS,
had last week cleared the air that the death
penalty passed on 12 Nigerian soldiers by a
military tribunal was lawful and in accordance
with military dictates.
The CDS made this known while speaking at a
three-day conference organised by the
National Security Adviser in collaboration with
Trim Communication Nigeria Ltd on Media/
Securit.
“The day you join the military you have signed
off whether life or death, and it is obey before
complaint. How can a soldier just jump out of
the APC because you want to donate APC to
Boko Haram; and somebody is there talking
about constructive mutiny. The laws are there,
if you run away from the enemy, you will die
and that is what the military law says. Apart
from the old Nigerian law, we abide by the
military law. Nobody forces or conscripts
anybody into the military. It is a voluntary
service, and so if we have this type of
challenge, you should be able to confront it
and not to run away,” Badeh said.
It would be recalled that on October 9, the
European Union (EU) condemned the death
sentence handed 12 Nigerian soldiers by a
military tribunal over charges of mutiny . The
international body seems not to be the only
group against the sentence as some other
concerned Nigerians have also reacted to the
development .
The Nigerian Army on October 3, 2014, set up
a General Court Martial to try another 97
personnel for various offences ..
committed in the ongoing counter-terrorism
operation in the North-Eastern part of the
country.
