naja2: i fear for Nigerian! they love their theiving leadrs, they pray fot them, they make excuses for them, they now explain their stealing, Every Nation deserves the kind of leaders they get. Nothing can be truer, Nigerian will rather go unclad to protect yheir theiving leaders and even curse the whistle blower. I am shocked at the kind of mindset our leaders ve.

CONJI: I know with his salary alone , he can put up something of this nature any where in the world. Let us stop back biting in this country, it did us no good. Please!

Nickydrake: Shocking, shocking responses on this thread. It doesn't seem like anyone who commented on the first page actually read the article that accompanied the photo.

chucky234: It is a crime if one becomes successful in life accumulating/looting public funds,idio:t.

samkoro: Nonsense and cheap black mail by Sahara reporters that has lost credibility because of its hatred for anything south south and south east.Sahara reporters go further to entrench the tribalistic attitude of the yoruba.Tell me,what is the big deal about a 10million naira house that could be built by a hard working taxi driver.Are u insinuating that th ministry should be scraped because the minister has a 10million naira house he got legitimately or before he even became a minister?

Sahara reporters are too stupi.d. I don't read their news any longer.

ck296: this house is very far from what a mansion looks like

Gabriel_sylar: Both obama and mitt spent billions of dollars on election........when the country still has huge deficit...but once sahara see house it becomes photo news...

Cultured:

Slowpoke ! You will die wretched if you don't change your mindset. What evidence do you have to prove that he looted public funds ? An accused person remain innocent until proven guilty by competent court of law . I guess it's because you're illogical, that's why you failed to realized that majority of the people occupying ministerial positions are either successful businessmen or top career professionals, who has reached the peak of their callings before taking up ministerial appointments , so owing a house of such any were should not automatically be adjudged as corrupt, save proven otherwise by competent court of law.

chucky234: Who is this beetle-headed,you must be out of your mind to quote me with your dumb post. What was his calling if I may ask? Since your parents failed to culture you on how to address elders I'll not hesitate to do just that,too bad you still struggle to comprehend a written text at your pathetic age.
Next time you go out of your way to quote me you will have your wretched self to blame,besotted duckling.

Cultured:

May God punish you and your entire linage . Were you not the one that first quoted me ? For your information we are not in the same class . Dimwit!

chucky234: And what is your class? A drowning goon talking about class on a faceless forum,you are not more than a hopeless duckling flapping its wings in a dirk filled stream.
You are right after all,we are not in same class because you belong with the bush tribe in Kenya.

orelove4liff: continue weepin my broda..u'll weep 4 life u bloody critic

Cultured:

I don't like to join issues with inconsequential entity like you , maybe , your father , if responsible enough should come in your stead .

Billyonaire: If a minister can not afford that little house with his/her salary, then its not appealing to be a minister.

The photos taken by the group shows a mansion located on Minister's Hill area, Mabushi Abuja. Dino told Saharareporters that the offices of the group was burgled by unknown person after it revealed that Mr. Orubebe was involved in other scams totalling N29 billion in ficticious contracts.

greaterlove:
that house is about N50m.

koastar:
I think you should first of all find out the salary of a minister, you will be surprised. No minister in Nigeria can build such house if he depends on his/her salary alone. Any minister who owns this during or immediately after office has other sources of income (know that corruption is a source of income)

naijaspeak: [b]We certainly need a "Nigerian spring" in this country. This is to enable us sweep away this generations of bad leaders we have here in Nigeria. We certainly need to build Nigeria all over again as corruption has downgraded Nigeria bringing massive poverty and social frustrations. It recently took place in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen resulting in the downfall of their leaders. The Syrians are currently forcing President Bashir Al Asad to leave power. The funny thing about the arab spring is that the issues that brought about the revolution is not that their leaders are highly corrupt or their citizens are suffering poverty the type Nigerians are currently facing. Their complaint is that their leaders have ruled for so long and that they want a change in their lives. Their desire was just political change in leadership. But here in Nigeria, our problem is that we have leaders who are not prepared to ruled with the fear of God. They so much believe in stealing and all kinds of corruption.

In Nigeria, about 98 percent of our leaders are damn corrupt all swimming in dirty corruptions with choice properties not only in Nigeria but in big cities like Dubai, London, New York and South Africa. This is just to mention only a few.

Their days are most certainly numbered as a revolutions is getting close.

Time is coming when the youth of this country will start a revolution that will end all this bitter years of our history.

As for the Minister of the Niger Delta, Mr Godsday Orubebe he can not deny the fact that he is corrupt. The properties he acquired are just loot from the funds allocated to his ministry to develop the Niger delta. I think the most honourable thing for Mr Orubebe to do is to resign in the wake of this accusation which have been levelled against him if he believe he is serving the people and not himself.

Many Ijaws and other natives from other parts of the country are suffering as a result of their flood ravage community. But Mr Orubebe, did little or nothing about their sufferings.

Worst and most embarrasing is the fact that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan choose to pretend that he is not aware of the corruption leveled against his ministers and personal aids.

If President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is serious about development he should merge some of this ministries and parastatal as they are just money drainer. Nigeria should also do away with this culture of setting up two minister for one job. Why should we have minister for education and minister for state for education? Minister for health and minister of state for health. I think one minister can do all this jobs. It is just an avenue to waste money.

Take for example, what is the purpose of creating the office call chief of staff. All our governor have chief of staff and President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan also have chief of staff in the person of Mr Mike Ogiadomhe. This is all avenue for wastefulness and embezzlement.

Just recently the IMF advised Nigeria to stopping wasting the money we get from oil and gas. I think this information from the IMF came rather too later. The advise should have been given about 20 years back. We have indeed been wasting our money since independence.

By being wasteful also means we create a cheap avenue for corrupt officers of Nigeria to steal our money. The IMF know the right word to describe the Nigerian government which is "corruption " but they do not want to engage Nigerian leaders and politician in a show of words that is why they use the word "wasting of money.

Please know that the world bank and IMF know that our political class are all swimming in corruptions. Know that Minister Godsday Orubebe is just stealing the funds of his Ministry to enable him acquire ill-gotten wealth for himself, family, friends and associates.

Minister Orubebe also wants to contest the Governorship election of Delta state come 2015. This is a person who have not even achieve any success in the Niger delta as minister. His constituency are not even happy with him as he has not been able to utilise the funds coming to his ministry for the much needed development of infrastructure in the Niger delta. But I blame former President Olusegun Obasanjo who so much believe that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan can perform as a Vice President. But now we can see that he is a failure. The Minister of the Niger Delta, Mr Godsday Orubebe should realise that his days are numbered and that he can not go scot-free. Nemesis will certainly catch up with him if not now but much later

Does Minister Orubebe realise that power will not last forever. Does he realise that the ijaw land that he came from his a difficult terrain that require so much effort to develop. But he seems to engage himself in corruption instead of drawing up a masterplan for development of the niger delta. [/b]

Jarus:
Located in that part of Abuja, this house can't cost less than N100m. What was he doing before he became a Minister? What is his source of income? Therein lies the issue.

val_dubem:

Orubebe was a successful bizman before becoming a minister, so quit all these ur petty talk
