ujchief: Interesting! So minister of labour and productivity was indicted in the subsidy probe, N2.7 bil payed to 'his' company. These are the cabals Gej is scared to fight, all protected under the umbrella of pdp. Come 2015, he will come home to contest the gubernitorial election in my state, magically scaling thru all screening exercise, both from INEC, Efcc, icpc et al since hes under the umbrella.

k2039: Dude, you don't really see the big picture to note the fundamental importance of the likes of Falana. It is not really about whether anything will come out of this or not. The bigger issue is that passionate and brave Nigerians like Falana, always ready to challenge government impunity, still exist. Falana's actions, always rapier sharp, sensitizes Nigerians to Government misrule and lawlessness. The 'intangibles', e.g the concept of adhering to the rule of law, contribute immensely to the development of political sophistication and helps raise awareness of how citizens must fulfil their duties of check-and-balance by holding leaders to account. We need more Falanas and we need more checks-and-balances to counter government impunity - especially when the Government of the day is one that revels in lawless and shameless behaviour. 1 Like |

Gbawe:Nigerians are so nonchalant and oppressed to the extent that we fail to question our government while those who take up the gauntlet to do so are called names. Its highly disturbing that till date none has asked the government the cost of the contract awarded to JB and RCC to rehabilitate the Lagos Ibadan expressway after the concession given to Bi Courtney was withdrawn. Similar infractions like the mentioned where government arbitrarily took decisions without no one to question them. Not until we collectively begin to question and hold these guys accountable to us, before we can make progress. |

falana is worth applauding and truly we need more of his ilks to checkmate these lots. and to the enthusiastic appointees, are they not also cognizant of this same law stipulating the number of board members to refuse their nominations? hahahahaha - who could resist such haven. |

Only 'Jerry Rawlings' through the help of God can save Nigeria. 'Shuo', see dumb comments Anyway,my advice for Mr Falana is to just keep exposing them but avoid wasting your precious time suing their a.ss. If GEJ like, let him appoint his wife, children, brothers & sisters, uncles & other family members into the NNPC board. Whether he appoints 7 or 700,it makes no difference to ordinary Nigerians. Afterall, they are all birds of a feather. SMH |

take dat: Nigerians are so nonchalant and oppressed to the extent that we fail to question our government while those who take up the gauntlet to do so are called names. Its highly disturbing that till date none has asked the government the cost of the contract awarded to JB and RCC to rehabilitate the Lagos Ibadan expressway after the concession given to Bi Courtney was withdrawn. Similar infractions like the mentioned where government arbitrarily took decisions without no one to question them. Correct. In West Africa today, I am noting , from direct experience, that it is Nigerians , a very divided and frustrated people, most notorious for doing this i.e hounding the few good guys they have in a unique form of self-immolation. For me it boils down to the fact that others do not have the toxic and malevolent ethnic hatred that makes Nigerians ready to castigate and insult anyone, regardless of their good effort, who is not from their ethnic group. Very sad my guy. When the likes of Falana give up the struggle, then Nigeria is a fully failed State because the government will be happy to act with total impunity and reckless abandon secure in the knowledge that no one will challenge its actions. 2 Likes |

k2039: The crusader ihas been making altruistic efforts to stem the tide of corruption that has engulfed evry facet of our society, beginin from the top, yet armchair critics like u wld always view issues from a political periscope. If eventually he is haunded to a point he has to leave the country and continue his advocacy for good governance and accountability from a country that upholds human rights, same pple like u wld be the first to raise critical tongues and fingers in his condemnation with such remarks as 'that useless old man is abroad saying rubish! What has he done for his immidiate community?' Well when that time comes, hopefully it never will, make sure you refer to this thread and others that bear records of his selfless efforts. It truely pains me to read comments such as yours. 1 Like |

lukaino: tot this guy has a bunch of advisers who should prevent these gaffes; whats their job? Falana has a valid point on this Precisely. Your perspective is totally correct. Why, with so many expensively maintained advisers, does this government keep managing to do things that show open disregard for the rule of law? Making this about Falana is asinine. We should worry about what these sort of actions portend for Nigeria. |

Gbawe: You guys should not relent in giving us your constructive and educative comments. The challenges we have in re-building this country are always better depicted by some of the bizarre comments on this forum. Africans have never really enjoyed or witnessed true democracy and this sometimes explains our myopic and pessimistic attitude towards the rule of law, constitutional rights, and roles of organs and agents of governments. The sad and ironic part is the unwillingness of our people to educate their minds through the words and actions of those pointing us in the right directions. |
Re: Falana Threatens To Sue FG Over NNPC Appointments by Gbawe: 3:08pm On Dec 04, 2012 |
dounleedee: Very true. Many , instead of tackling the substantive issue, would rather hurl insults, call others names and heap unwarranted attention/curses on the family of other posters here. This behaviour, at best , get us nowhere and , at worst, actually contributing to a general loss of focus on what is fundamental and paramount to the development of our development. Your statement below is pure gold: The challenges we have in re-building this country are always better depicted by some of the bizarre comments on this forum. |
